"That's it!"
Su Xuan, who was sitting in the barrel, raised his head and stared at the other party. Seeing that the woman had not understood what he meant, he sighed and pointed his finger at the other party's chest.
"Aren't underwear clothes clothes? You have to take a bath with my medicinal herbs later to remove the smell on your body. The most important thing is that the smell is very strong. Those hunting dogs don't like to smell it. With this set, basically you will You can stay here normally, and you can even move around here as long as others don't find your identity suspicious."
The woman tightly covered her thin linen clothes and looked at Su Xuan's serious eyes. It didn't look like teasing or lying to herself. Then she thought about it. Su Xuan's actions were not just to avoid being caught. , also so that he can get lower-level information, and naturally there will be no traps in it.
"Stop covering up. Although I'm not a gentleman, I won't have any interest in a strange woman who doesn't show her face and has no trust at all. She even thought about killing me before!"
Su Xuan turned his head and continued: "By the way, can you go to the woodshed to boil water first? You have to throw away your linen clothes. They have been stained with the smell of your body and must be cleaned! And you are standing here ,I……"
Su Xuan made a twisting movement.
"How can I get out of this outfit? How can I get dressed? Can you please step aside!"
Su Xuan was a little helpless. Obviously, this woman didn't seem to have any vision in this regard.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before. Is there anything you can hide from?"
Su Xuan felt defeated in this aspect, and his face was particularly ugly. He didn't expect that a woman could take advantage of him.
"Then I want to see how thick-skinned you are!"
Su Xuan stood up directly, with water stains dripping down from his body. The sound of falling on the water in the barrel was particularly loud. When he saw the other party, he had already covered his eyes with lightning speed. Su Xuan laughed.
"A woman, how do you compare to me? In terms of being shameless, men are more advantaged!"
A woman has a character that is fearless. Su Xuan was so excited that he immediately became interested. He quickly released his hands as if he was angry. The naked Su Xuan stood in front of the other party. The two looked at each other awkwardly for several breaths. , Su Xuan realized what he was doing and quickly grabbed the clothes around him and put them on quickly.
Su Xuan coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness in the surrounding atmosphere.
"You should do your own work. You are from Jianghu after all. You don't need me to teach you how to destroy the traces. I'll just avoid it."
After saying that, Su Xuan walked sideways out of the room, leaving the woman a separate space to wash her body and clothes.
In a courtyard on the edge of the palace, King Zhu Houyi was still prostrate on the desk. The candlelight on the right illuminated the rice paper in his hand. A sudden gust of autumn wind caused the flames to sway slightly. Zhu Houyi put down the rubbing of "Shang Shu" in his hand and rubbed it. Slightly sore eyes.
"Alas, when did the conditions of the imperial palace become worse than those of Yanzhou..."
What Zhu Houyi didn't know was that he was ill and didn't attend the banquet tonight, so he didn't know that all the luminous pearls in the palace had been temporarily placed in Weiyang Palace, and even the place where King Xun lived had been hollowed out. , only a few candles are left for lighting.
Zhu Houyi stood up, knocked on his sore neck and stinging knees, and said to himself: "It seems that it has rained in recent days!"
Zhu Houyi's body was not suitable for the humid environment of the palace. The old diseases left over from the late emperor's campaigns when he was young made him feel a dull pain in countless joints whenever he encountered windy and rainy weather. Yanzhou's It's not like the imperial doctor has never treated her before, but she always treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Even after she gets better, it's the same again.
Therefore, now when there is pain in the knees or joints, King Xun can always know the weather better than the counselors who watch the sky at night.
Inquiry King Zhu Houyi was about to put down what he was doing and go to bed, but the rapid footsteps and knocking on the door made his mind clearer.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houyi frowned suddenly, it was already noon, why were he so flustered?
"Enter!"
The door was pushed open with a creak, and the person who came staggered, his head covered with sweat, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"What's the matter, so panicked?"
"My lord, it's not good, something serious is going to happen!"
Zhu Houyi hasn't taken it seriously yet. He is a prince far away in Yanzhou. He just came to the palace recently to see the emperor's situation. What bad things could happen?
"explain!"
"Your Majesty, Weiyang Palace..."
The visitor couldn't speak clearly, and Zhu Houyi waved to the guards around him.
"Give him a glass of water and let's finish it!"
"As you command!"
A guard poured a cup of tea and put it into the hands of the guard in Feiyu uniform. The latter thanked him first, and then dared to drink the tea in one gulp. His dry throat, which had been running all the way, was irrigated by water, and then he recovered. A lot.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been assassinated!"
"Assassin?" When Zhu Houyi received this news, instead of worrying, he laughed out loud.
"Haha, assassin?" Zhu Houyi realized that he was still in the palace, not in his own Yanzhou, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, you are not in any danger, are you?"
"Your Majesty is fine. Dr. Su has already visited you. Your Majesty is asleep now, but..."
The visitor was hesitant. Zhu Houyi slapped his palm on the wooden table and scolded: "You are a royal guard, what can't you say? Why are you so hesitant?"
"Your Majesty, in fact, it is not His Majesty who encountered an assassin, but the entire Weiyang Palace who encountered an assassin!"
"What?" Zhu Houyi, who was still pacing in the room, stopped.
"Weiyang Palace encountered an assassin? Are you out of your mind? What do you mean? I will give you ten more breaths. If you don't understand, I will let you settle down in the courtyard of the Imperial Medical Office that specializes in treating lunatics! "
"Your Majesty! What I mean is that assassins broke into Weiyang Palace and killed more than twenty ministers, but His Majesty was not harmed!"
Zhu Houyi was stunned, with a particularly solemn expression on his face. He didn't come back to his senses until a candle in the room was extinguished.
"When did this happen?"
"Just a quarter of an hour ago!"
"A quarter of an hour...a quarter of an hour..."
Zhu Houyi put his hands behind his back and kept tapping the jade button on his waist.
"You, go and receive the reward!"
Xun Wang winked at the guard beside him. The latter also understood the prince's intention, bowed to the prince expressionlessly, and then walked out with the guard in uniform who had tipped off the news.
