"Ahem...I'm fine, I'm fine...Ahem, don't bother...Master..."
Zhou Wei was bent over, his face flushed from suppressing his emotions. He waved his hands and declined politely, unable to speak at all.
Li Qingniu turned around and glanced at him. He stood still and kept stroking his beard with his hands. He looked at Su Xian again and asked, "After we return home, are you sure you can bring out the altar of nine-branch nectar?"
"Master, don't worry, my disciple keeps his word." Su Xian hurriedly patted his chest to assure him.
"Yes." Li Qingniu nodded slowly again, very satisfied.
At this time, Tang Shuwan suddenly asked: "Master, is there really no cure for your husband's disease?"
Li Qingniu put away the satisfied look on his face, stroking his beard, pretending to be sophisticated, frowning and thinking for a while, and smiled: "If you ask if there are any medicines or stones that can cure the disease, of course there are."
Tang Shuwan was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Master, please tell me, no matter what kind of medicinal material it is, no matter how precious it is, we must find it for my husband and completely cure this damn strange disease!"
Li Qingniu replied:
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine to cure. My disciple just said that as long as you don't mention those two words and rest for ten days and a half, the disease will be cured on its own."
"The only remedy is time!"
"Time..." Tang Shuwan was at a loss, stunned. Doesn't this mean she didn't say anything? It made her happy in vain. Of course, she didn't dare to blame Li Qingniu.
Tang Ju took a step forward, looked at his eldest daughter, and said earnestly: "Wan'er, you have heard what Doctor Li said, please don't mention this matter again in the future!"
Mrs. Chen also stepped forward to advise: "Yes, daughter, for the sake of your son-in-law's physical and mental health, for your own sake, and for the whole of Daliang, let the past go with the wind."
Tang Shuwan turned her head, looked at her parents' faces, and forced out a smile: "What my parents said is true, and my daughter understands in her heart that as long as her husband is safe, she has nothing else to think about."
After Su Xian heard this, he felt happy and ashamed at the same time.
I am happy because the plan finally succeeded and settled Tang Shuwan and other ladies.
Ashamed because he used some means and seemed a bit shameless.
As soon as he thought about it, Su Xian turned over and climbed up. Regardless of the presence of everyone, he hugged Tang Shuwan directly into his arms and hugged her hard: "Madam, thank you. If you have such a wife, what more can you ask for from a husband!"
"Husband...this is what I should do." Tang Shuwan whispered.
At this moment, in addition to happiness and shame, Su Xian also felt a sense of care and love in his heart. Various emotions were mixed and intertwined, and eventually evolved into a deep love.
He hugged her tighter.
He even kissed her directly regardless of everyone present...
Su Xian had already decided that if he could deal with Tang Shuwan and other ladies this time, it would mean that the east would overwhelm the west wind, or that he would conquer the ladies again...then he should take good care of them.
However, Su Xian did "whatever he wanted", but it made the people around him miserable.
After all, we are still in a feudal society. It is considered impolite for men and women to look at each other in public. Etiquette is actually very strict.
It was unbearable to look at someone as "unscrupulous" as Su Xian. If Su Xian's identity was not taken into consideration, not to mention Tang Ju, Mrs. Chen, etc., even the maids and servants would scold them.
But Su Xian is Su Xian.
Is he the most powerful Taiwei of the Liang Dynasty or the Duke of Wei? Who dares to say?
The melon-eaters had no choice but to turn aside silently, pretending not to see...
A quarter of an hour later, the long-stopped convoy, mixed with the welcoming team, finally started and slowly set off in the direction of Shendu City.
Su Xian was unable to ride a horse or walk due to a "serious illness", so he was carried into a spacious carriage by everyone.
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang, at Su Xian's request, also entered the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right. Naturally, the two women had no objection to this.
Su Xian was extremely happy to be accompanied by two beauties on the road. Thirty miles was not a short journey, but in Su Xian's opinion, thirty miles was about the same as three miles.
He hasn't enjoyed it enough yet.
Compared to Su Xian's happiness, Zhou Wei had his head drooped and was listless on the horse. He really couldn't understand why his senior brother got away with it?
well!
He let out a long sigh with a melancholy look on his face. It seemed that he would never be able to avenge the last time he was tricked...
Soon he entered the city of God.
The motorcade stopped on the bluestone street in front of the gate of Duke Wei's Mansion.
As a "sick patient", Su Xian was carried out of the carriage and carefully taken to Tang Shuwan's bedroom in the inner house, where he lay down on the couch.
At this time, there were only Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang, Luo Xiuniang and other ladies in the bedroom, as well as Yang Zhilan, Mrs. Chen, and some maids.
After all, this is an inner house, and it is also Tang Shuwan's bedroom. It is impossible for Tang Ju, Li Qingniu and others to come in.
Su Xian looked at the room full of warblers and Yanyan, and his mood immediately improved. However, he had not forgotten Li Qingniu. He turned to Yang Zhilan and waved to Yang Zhilan:
"Zhi Lan, go and send the jar of nine branches of nectar to Master."
"yes."
After Yang Zhilan turned around and left, Su Xian was about to have a chat with the ladies, but he didn't expect that the Queen, Princess Lanling, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty all came!
It turned out that today was the day when Su Xian made his triumphant return to the court. The queen, monarch and ministers were all very happy and gathered at the Wanxiang Shrine to prepare for Su Xian's return.
As a result, bad news came——
Su Xian suffered from a strange disease. He couldn't hear the word "Nan Chen". He fell ill twice when he was outside the city. As a result, he couldn't even walk and had to be carried into the city.
The Queen was shocked and immediately decided to go to the Duke Wei's Mansion to visit Su Xian.
The Queen was gone, so Lan Ling, the civil and military officials, etc. were not spared. A large group of people all came to the Duke's Mansion. This incident immediately caused a sensation in the city.
"Su Aiqing, how do you feel?"
In front of Su Xian's hospital bed, the Queen stood there. She was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, her face was full of concern and nervousness, and of course, there was a trace of anger hidden deep in her eyes.
This anger is towards Empress Nanchen.
Next to the Queen is Princess Lanling, who is wearing a blue Taoist robe. Her eyes are burning, and she carefully examines Su Xian's words and deeds, thoughtfully.
Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang and other women stood aside respectfully, not daring to say a word.
As for the civil and military officials, since this was Tang Shuwan's bedroom, it was inconvenient for them to come. They only drank tea and waited in the front hall, and asked Princess Lanling to say hello on their behalf.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I don't have much of a problem. It's just that after two consecutive attacks, my body is a little weak. I will be fine after resting for a while." Su Xian replied.
"I grant you half a month's leave! As long as Su Aiqing takes good care of her health, she will be a great blessing to me. No matter what Su Aiqing wants to eat or what supplements he needs, he can send someone to the palace to get it."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty..."
The Queen did not stay long, perhaps in order not to disturb Su Xian's rest. She chatted for a few words, and then left and returned to the palace after making sure that Su Xian was fine.
Princess Lanling, civil and military officials, etc. also followed and left.
