Qi Hongxue curled her red lips, looked up and down at Chu Mubai in front of her, and said with a playful smile: "This must be the alchemist!"
Eunuch Qian trembled and said: "Reporting to Eunuch Hongxue, this is the alchemist Chu Dabai, who comes from the White Crane Sect."
"Oh? Baihemen, it sounds strange!" Qi Hongxue's gentle and delicate voice sounded soft, but it was like a needle in the thread. Every word and every sentence made people cautious.
Qian Huaide immediately nodded and said: "That's true, but Pharmacist Chu does have some abilities. After taking a pill, the imperial concubine will be energetic!"
"Oh? So the princess's illness can be cured?"
Chu Mubai immediately saluted and said: "If I return to Eunuch Hongxue, I will immediately go out to the city to collect herbs for the imperial concubine and refine new elixirs as soon as possible. The empress's illness will be cured soon!"
"Oh, this disease that has been suffered for many years can be cured so quickly? Pharmacist Chu is really amazing!"
After Qi Hongxue finished speaking, he reached out and lifted Chu Mubai's chin. Chu Mubai was shocked. He moved so quickly that he didn't even have the slightest bit of caution. Qi Hongxue slowly approached him, and a burst of incense came to her face.
Qi Hongxue squinted her eyes slightly, carefully looked at his handsome face, reached out to touch the red spot on the tip of his nose, then smiled slightly and said, "He is handsome, but it's a pity that he is so red."
Chu Mubai raised his throat and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. Because he raised his head, the sound coming out of his throat was a little strange, and he said, "It's natural!"
Although he knew Qi Hongxue was not a woman, she felt helpless that his temperament was too much like a woman's. The hand touching his cheek was also soft and gentle, which made Chu Mubai's cheeks blush.
"Hehehehe! Why is Medicine Master Chu blushing?" Qi Hongxue couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw him blushing. Then she put her red lips close to his ear and whispered: " Medicine Master Chu is really a young man! I'm afraid I haven't touched him yet. Live with a woman, otherwise you wouldn’t be touched like this by a father-in-law and make your face turn red! Hahahaha!”
"You-" Chu Mubai choked, feeling embarrassed, but couldn't speak for a long time.
"It's a pity that I'm a father-in-law and can't help you, hehehe!"
Chu Mubai was so angry that he stamped his feet and wanted to say something, but Qi Hongxue smiled charmingly, reached out and patted his handsome face, and then said: "Then go and refine the elixir for the imperial concubine as soon as possible, imperial concubine Your Majesty’s illness cannot be delayed!”
Qian Huaide immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Chu Mubai hurriedly followed the eunuch in charge Qian Huaide and turned around to leave. This chief eunuch was indeed a powerful character!
Qi Hongxue, dressed in white clothes, stood there, watching the sound of Chu Mubai walking away, and said to the little eunuch behind her: "Does it mean that there is still a little medicine servant trapped in the palace?"
"Back to Eunuch Hongxue, it's true."
"Then let's go and have a look." Qi Hongxue was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard someone behind her say: "No need, I've already gone to see it."
The voice sounded milky, but it also had an awe-inspiring domineering air.
Qi Hongxue turned around and saw the little prince Lan Xuan walking towards him. Behind him were two palace ladies who were waiting on him. One was holding a heater in one hand and the other was carrying a birdcage. The birdcage is covered with a golden velvet cage, and a red-billed thrush is locked inside.
At first glance, the little prince Lan Xuan looks like a playful child, but his eyebrows
The heroic spirit revealed in it is something that people dare not look down upon.
Qi Hongxue immediately saluted and said: "Your Highness, the little prince!"
Lan Xuan came skipping over, and then said: "Hehe! Eunuch Hongxue, why are you back? Didn't my father come back with you?"
"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has gone to look for medicine for Princess Lan. He will not be able to return to the palace for a while. He is worried about things in the palace, so he ordered his servant to go back to the palace to take a look."
It turns out that the person in the carriage just now was him. He was able to come back in the Blue Emperor's carriage, which shows how much the Blue Emperor loves him. Before Qi Hongxue returned to the palace, she first went to deal with the matters assigned by Emperor Lan, so she returned to the palace late.
"What are you looking at? What's there to see? Are you afraid that my mother will fly away! She is just a bird in a cage. As long as I am here, my father has nothing to worry about!"
After listening
Qi Hongxue couldn't help but be startled by Lan Xuan's words, and smiled awkwardly. She didn't know whether the little prince was talking without restraint, or if he meant something else.
Lan Xuan's big gem-like eyes looked at him and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hongxue, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Qi Hongxue's red lips parted. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Your Highness, the little prince, please——"
The two ordered the eunuch and the palace maid to stay by the side, and walked towards a flower pavilion through the snow. Although it is winter, the scenery inside Huaxuan still feels a bit springy. The rockery is covered with a layer of white snow, and several red and white plum trees complement each other and are in full bloom.
Although the path paved with white stones had just been cleaned by the palace staff, it was now covered with a thin layer of snow. The two people stepped on the path one after another, making a rustling sound of snow.
Lan Xuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and Qi Hongxue also stopped immediately, not far or close to him, the distance that a master and a servant should have.
Lan Xuan suddenly turned around, looked at Qi Hongxue, and said in a sweet voice: "She's back."
Although the voice sounded milky, it was very deep and serious, which made Qi Hongxue startled and said hurriedly: "Who?"
"My imperial sister who has been missing for many years - Lan Zuiwu!" When Lan Xuan said this, the wind was calm and the clouds were calm, as if there was no wave.
Qi Hongxue said softly, then frowned, looked at the nine-year-old little prince in front of her, and said in confusion: "Your Highness has never seen the face of Emperor Xiwu, so how do you know?"
Lan Xuan put his hands behind his back like a little adult and said very seriously: "Because my mother-in-law cried just now." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Qi Hongxue, who looked much higher than him.
Qi Hongxue couldn't help but trembled all over. No matter how sly and vicious he was, he was made heartbroken by the sight of a nine-year-old baby. The little prince in front of him was really not a simple person!
"Eunuch Hongxue."
"The slave is here."
"Let me ask you, why hasn't my father made me the crown prince?"
Qi Hongxue was slightly startled. She didn't expect that he would ask such a question, so she said gently: "I think the little prince is still young."
"Hmph! Let me ask you, how old was Brother Lan Shi when he was established as the prince?"
"Your Highness, he is...six years old."
"Brother Lan Shi was made a prince when he was six years old, and he severed the father-son relationship with his father at the age of ten. And I am already nine years old this year, haha! It seems that I am still far behind Brother Lan Shi!"
Qi Hongxue said in confusion: "Your Highness, the little prince, you are the most beloved prince of His Majesty the Blue Emperor. How could you say such a thing?"
Lan Xuan said:
"Haha! You also said that I am my father's most beloved prince, and my mother-in-law is doted on by three thousand people, and she is my father's treasure. Why is he still unwilling to establish a prince? This can only show that in his mind There will always be only one prince, and that is Brother Lan Shi."
"Even though he has severed the father-son relationship with him, even though he has never returned to Lanhun City in these years, the father... what he is thinking about, and the person he misses, is brother Lan Shi. He is the one in the heart of the father. The only candidate for the crown prince."
Qi Hongxue couldn't help being shocked, thinking that the baby in front of her was not easy to deceive. Although Lan Xiao was cruel, this kid was obviously thoughtful and sinister, and his calculations and plans were far superior to Lan Xiao's.
After Lan Xuan said what she just said, a child-like innocent smile suddenly appeared on her face. She looked up at Qi Hongxue and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hongxue, what Xuan'er said just now is just childish talk. You You won’t run to tell your father, hehehe!”
Qi Hongxue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her hands and said, "I'm scared, but I understand!"
Lan Xuan suddenly walked forward with a smile, then stretched out her young hands, grabbed Qi Hongxue's hand, and said in a sweet voice: "No, father-in-law, you don't understand."
Qi Hongxue couldn't help but tremble. No matter how advanced his martial arts skills were, he would still be afraid of such a frightening little baby.
Lan Xuan said: "I am still young, and I have to hold my father-in-law's hand in the future. Father-in-law, you are the one who helped me climb the Dabao. Do you understand?"
This little Lan Xuan is really powerful. He understands that Qi Hongxue is the most trusted person around his father. Even so, if he really tells Lan Huang what he said today, Lan Huang will definitely think that he is instigating a fight between their father and son. relation.
After all, Lan Xuan has always looked like an innocent child, and most importantly, he is indeed only a nine-year-old child. How could a child be so scheming and say such terrible things?
So what if you really say it? Because he is still just a child, he must be childlike. Who would take it seriously? If Qi Hongxue takes it seriously, his end will not be so good. Qi Hongxue, who has followed the cruel king for many years, naturally understands the stakes.
But now, this little prince suddenly came to him and expressed his intentions to him, which was quite scary. Over the years, Emperor Lan had no interest in government affairs. His whole heart revolved around Concubine Lan, and he frequently went out for Concubine Lan. Find medicine.
There was chaos in the Blue Soul City, and the little prince began to secretly pave the way while the Blue Emperor was away. The chief eunuch was the first person he wanted to win over, and would also be his most powerful backer in the future.
He understands that as long as he is willing to stretch out his hand, he will definitely not refuse. Why? First, he had the emperor's favorite mother-in-law, and she was also the only one he loved. Second, he is just a child. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, the only person who can stand by his side will be the person who pushed him to the throne. Third, let me ask, who would refuse a child’s request? If he refuses, then it is not something that an adult can guess if a child becomes interested.
Not only Qi Hongxue, but even his biological parents may not know what kind of child he is.
Qi Hongxue stared blankly at Lan Xuan in front of her, and Lan Xuan also raised her head and looked at him intently until he held his little hand behind his back and said: "The ground is slippery, I will escort the little prince all the way."
