Today was the first time Xu Nuo asked Xiao Yuan for help, but Xiao Yuan had to refuse.
He turned his head and looked at the dark branches outside the verandah moving in the wind. The hands beside him were clenched and turned white, but he still maintained a steady tone and said, "I can't help you." Since he agreed to do things for Concubine Liu Defi, he It was impossible for him to poach her and sabotage her plan at the same time. It was not his approach to be duplicitous.
As for asking Xu Nuo not to stay in the palace for a long time, and just hinting to her about Fang Jing's identity, it was because he knew that these alone would not disrupt Liu Defifei's plan. At most, it would only make her more urgent, or make the situation slightly more favorable to Xu Nuo. , one more chance to win.
He said this mainly because he did not want Xuanyu to be shocked by the sudden news and hoped that she would have a chance to buffer.
But he really didn't expect that he would really say these five words to her.
I had made up my mind many times not to refuse any of her requests and to help her without any reason, but I refused the first time she asked.
It's a bit funny to think about it.
As a person who lives in the dark night, being helpless is the most appropriate description.
After that, Xiao Yuan suggested in a very calm voice that Xu Nuo should not be too involved in this matter, so as not to be involved in the whirlpool that she could not escape from. Then he sent her off for a while, and did not stop until she could see Liu Defi's house.
Xu Nuo thanked him, turned around and left, his vigorous figure disappearing in an instant.
The strong wind roared by, his clothes swayed in the wind, and his hair danced wildly, but Xiao Yuan remained motionless. Looking at Xu Nuo's leaving figure, he took out the neatly folded handkerchief from his arms, rubbed the messy embroidery on it, and looked at the moonlight with his eyes. Very bright under the map.
Xu Nuo quietly returned to the house after breaking up with Xiao Yuan, washed briefly and fell asleep quickly.
It was windy that night and a bit colder than usual. And Xu Nuo changed his thick coat into a thin one in order to move easily. It was fine when she went out, but the wind got a little stronger on the way back, and her teeth chattered with the cold. Although Xiao Yuan walked in the direction of the wind on the way back and blocked her a little from the wind, she was still cold.
Why do you have to risk your life to change your coat?
Xu Nuo had only this thought before curling up and falling asleep.
At night, her whole body was so hot that she tossed and turned until she kicked the quilt off the bed.
She dreamed about her past life. I dreamed of a capable and sharp mother in a police uniform. She dreamed of a woman who finally pushed her off a tall building because of her sympathy. Her two faces overlapped, laughing in her ears and shouting Xiaonuo and promises. It's hard for her to breathe...
In order to get rid of the woman's sarcastic laughter, Xu Nuo covered his ears and ran, but he missed everything...
In her previous life, she had clearly experienced the feeling of weightlessness after falling from a tall building until she hit the ground.
She was not afraid of the weightlessness. But she was afraid of the severe pain that would radiate all over her body after landing, the kind of heart-wrenching pain that made people despair.
She needs to wake up. She didn't want to experience the pain that penetrated her heart again.
Just when she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands caught her, her chest was warm and her voice was soft.
She raised her eyes to see the man's face. But I couldn't see clearly.
It was clearly very close, but nothing could be seen.
She stubbornly tried to open her eyes, but a big hand kept holding her eyes. Slim and dry.
Then his hot forehead was covered with coldness, and something cool crossed his arms. It's better to perm it before...
She turned over and took the man's hand. The joints were clear and had the thin cocoon of a martial artist.
Xu Nuo, who was so burned, didn't know what he had done. He just held the hand in his arms and wouldn't let go.
Thank you.
Thanks to these hands, she didn't have to experience the heart-breaking pain again.
On this day, Xu Nuo slept until noon. When he woke up, he saw Lu's slightly red and swollen eyes, and there were still tears in the curved peach blossom eyes.
Mrs. Lu was wearing ginger-yellow sleeves, with only a jade hairpin in her hair, and almost no makeup on her face, which showed that she had arrived in a hurry. When she saw Xu Nuo wake up, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Liu Niang, are you feeling better?"
"Mom, why are you here?" Although she was a little confused from the fever, Xu Nuo immediately understood after opening her eyes that she was still in the palace and that Mrs. Lu was here to see her.
Lu helped Xu Nuo sit up and tested the temperature of her forehead with her hands. Then she felt relieved and said, "You kid, you didn't sleep well at night. You actually burned like this and kept talking nonsense. Several imperial doctors couldn't explain what was going on. Fortunately, Ji Wulang happened to be in Bianjing yesterday and used his prescription to wake you up."
When Ji Xuan was in Suzhou, he cured Lu's throat and cured Xu Pingqi and Xu Sanlang's bee venom. Lu trusted his medical skills very much. Seeing that the imperial doctors were helpless, he named Ji Xuan. Concubine Liu Defi sent someone to After searching, he discovered that Ji Xuan had been taken to Bianjing from Yingtian Mansion by his uncle yesterday, so he hurriedly invited him into the palace to let him take Xu Nuo's pulse and perform acupuncture.
Yesterday...
Xu Nuo's heart tightened, Oh my God! Don't tell her, she's been sleeping for a day and a half, there's no turning around.
She had been in a coma for a day and a half, and with Concubine Liu Defi's ability, she could make Fang Jing compromise with just two sentences.
How could she sleep at this time?
But whose hands were in the dream?
Could it be Ji Xuan's?
But Ji Xuan was not a martial artist. His hands were white and tender, and there could be no calluses.
Although it was a dream, Xu Nuo felt it very really. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that there was such a person who helped her cover her with a towel when she was so confused from the fever.
After learning Fang Jing's identity from Xiao Yuan, Xu Nuo knew why Concubine Liu Defi did what she did.
She used her reputation to threaten Fang Jing and asked him to return to the palace to recognize his ancestor.
Since Fang Jing's father, Prince Xu, was a knot in the emperor's heart, if Fang Jing could come back, the emperor would naturally be happy, and Concubine Liu Def could also be considered a hero.
Concubine Liu Defi's move can be regarded as meritorious service, and those ministers who do not agree with her appointment as queen cannot blatantly refute her. Her path to becoming queen will be smoother because Fang Jing returns to the palace.
In short, the promise became a small stone for Liu Defifei to ascend to the throne, and Fang Jing was the big stone.
Based on Xu Nuo's inference, Fang Jing must have known his identity for a long time and expressed his unwillingness to return to the palace to someone, but the emperor did not know his existence.
"My child is playful and I have made my mother worry about it. Please thank Ji Wulang for me. I have been in a daze for a long time. I don't know how long I have been sleeping for?" Xu Nuo didn't expect that it was Ji Xuan who saved her, and now she owes him again. his.
Lu smiled lovingly and brushed her hand from Xu Nuo's hair: "How long do you want to sleep from last night to now?"
Xunuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It should be enough time, so he asked again: "Mom, where are Chuntang and Qiyue? Did they follow you into the palace?"
"Of course not. You have a good rest. Concubine De said that you will return to the house after you recover. You should hurry up and don't let the officials and Concubine De worry about you." Mrs. Lu said as she took the maid's hand. Stir the medicine with a spoon to make sure the temperature is right before handing it to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo took it and drank it to the end.
The maid on the side opened her eyes wide. She felt the medicine was extremely bitter when she smelled it. Xu Liuniang actually drank it in one gulp, and did not eat the prepared plums to relieve the pain!
It's really rough.

The shameless and shameless author is back with an update, but there should still be no update tomorrow. I have been tortured by papers recently. I also asked for leave from my internship. I am focusing on writing papers. I don’t know how many documents I have read and how many pieces of draft paper I have reviewed. The author's major is mathematics, he has a lot of calculations, and his mind is full of formulas. The paper hasn't been checked for plagiarism yet, so sisters, please wait for me for a few more days. You have to earn perfect attendance in June and update about 4,000 words every day. By that time, the paper should be almost ready.
I haven’t coded for a long time, and I’m in a very good mood today. Compared with coding papers, coding novels is heaven. (To be continued)
