Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know that Mrs. Jiang almost fainted after hearing her voice. She was thinking about eating melon and walked quickly to the guest room, almost bumping into the morning dew that had just come out of the room.
Thanks to Chenlu's quick reaction and avoidance, the collision between the two was avoided.
Chen Lu held on to the door on the side to steady herself, and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao in surprise, "Master? Didn't the master go to see the lady? Why are you back so soon?"
Lu Xiaoxiao stopped, suppressed his eagerness to eat melon, and said, "Mrs. Jiang was feeling unwell, so I came back. By the way, Chen Lu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Reply to the master, this slave is making bird's nest porridge in the kitchen in the backyard and is thinking of going over to take a look."
Along the way from Shengjing to Suzhou, the master couldn't eat well or sleep well. Chen Lu saw it and couldn't help but feel distressed, so he thought about spending some money in the backyard kitchen to make a tonic soup for the master.
But they didn't expect that Bai Zhi and the Seventeen Secret Guards would come back with their things so quickly. Among the bags they brought back were some bird's nests that they specially brought out from the Prince's Mansion.
Chen Lu immediately decided to cook bird's nest porridge for her master.
After that, Chen Lu came back to the guest room to pack the master's things, and asked Bai Zhi to watch the fire in the kitchen.
"Huh? Bird's nest porridge?"
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know that Bai Zhi had come back. When she heard this, she was a little surprised: "There are also bird's nests in Chang'an Temple?"
impossible.
The host and Little Master Sikong probably wouldn't want to eat bird's nest.
Chen Lu smiled and said, "Master, Bai Zhi brought you here."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded clearly: "As expected of my husband's secret guard, his action speed is top-notch, and he brought Bai Zhi back so quickly."
"Okay, then you go and do your work first. I'll go back to the room to eat - cough, take a rest."
Lu Xiaoxiao almost revealed her little thoughts, but luckily she reacted quickly enough and swallowed the word "big melon".
Sure enough, it’s easy to get carried away when eating a big melon!
Lu Xiao carefully sighed.
Chen Lu stepped back and Fu Shen responded: "Yes, Master."
Lu Xiaoxiao was about to cross the threshold when he suddenly remembered: "By the way, my husband and Young Master Huaijun went out to discuss matters and haven't come back yet?"
Chen Lu shook her head: "As far as I know, the young master went to rest in the guest room of the male guests, while the young master Huaijun went to the host's room."
Mr. Huaijun went to find the host again?
That's right, the two of them have a deep friendship, and it's fitting that they see each other more often.
"Okay, I understand, then I'll go to the room first."
"master……"
"Um?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Lu in surprise. Seeing her hesitant expression, Lu Xiaoxiao's curiosity was suddenly aroused: "Chen Lu, what do you want to say?"
Chen Lu said in a tactful tone: "When I saw the young master earlier, my face seemed a little uncomfortable."
His Highness doesn't look good?
But what did Mr. Huaijun say to His Highness?
Or is it that His Highness is worried that the matter in Jiangnan will not be resolved smoothly?
Lu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and immediately said, "Then I'll go over and take a look."
Compared to eating melon, His Highness's mood is naturally more important.
The male guest's guest room was arranged in the front yard. Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and walked quickly to the front yard.
There is still a long distance between the backyard and the front yard.
Lu Xiaoxin was worried about His Highness' situation and almost trotted towards the front yard.
However, after arriving at the front yard of Chang'an Temple, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that she had no idea which guest room His Highness lived in.
There was no other way, now she could only search one by one.
…
The room closest to the courtyard wall.
The windows in the room were closed, it was dark, and no candles were lit.
Xie Xi closed his eyes tightly, lying on his side on the couch, curled up in a ball with a heavy quilt covering his body.
Waves of icy coldness continued to spread throughout his body, as if falling into an ice cave, attacking his internal organs, making him unable to control his current state.
Even the cold sweat on Xie Xi's forehead and face turned into frost in a moment.
cold.
It's really too cold.
It had been so long since he had felt the pain of the cold poison, which made Xie Xi forget what Ling You had told him back then.
Ling You once said that although the method of fighting poison with poison can temporarily suppress the cold poison, it is not a long-term solution. It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to completely get rid of the pain of this cold poison, you can only find the antidote to the cold poison... …
A year ago, in order to help Xie Xi find an antidote, Lingyou personally went to southern Xinjiang and has not returned yet.
If Lingyou hadn't been surrounded by Xie Xi's secret guards, he would have sent letters back from time to time to tell Xie Xi that he was safe. Otherwise, because of Lingyou's delay in returning, Xie Xi would have personally gone to Southern Xinjiang to find out what was going on. .
The icy chill kept coming towards him. Just when Xie Xi's consciousness began to fade, Xie Xi suddenly heard that familiar voice——
[I was wondering, there are only a few people in Changan Temple, why are there so many rooms in the front yard? 】
[Didn’t Chenlu tell His Highness to rest in the room? Why is every room dark without a trace of candlelight? 】
[Strange, it’s impossible that His Highness went out again just after I arrived, right? 】
[This is already the last room. If I don’t see His Highness again, I will have to find the secret guard...]
It was Lu Xiaoxiao's voice.
Lu Xiaoxiao came to find him.
Xie Xi reluctantly opened his eyes, resisting the discomfort all over his body. He wanted to call her out, but his throat seemed to be frozen and he couldn't even say a word.
【Huh? The door to this room seems to be closed from the inside? 】
[Is His Highness inside? 】
Outside the door.
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't push the door open, so he simply raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Husband, husband, are you in there?"
"Husband?"
No movement was heard inside. Lu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door louder, almost banging the door, but still couldn't hear a response.
As far as Lu Xiaoxiao knew, the only people who lived in the front yard of Chang'an Temple were the abbot, Master Sikong, Master Huaijun and her husband Xie Xi.
Chen Lu said that Mr. Huaijun went to meet the host to reminisce about old times. Young Master Sikong was still cleaning the temple. His Highness returned to the front yard to rest. At that time, His Highness was the only one in the front yard.
Lu Xiaoxiao murmured: "It's strange. The room is obviously locked from the inside. If it were my husband who was staying in the room, it would be impossible for my husband not to hear my voice..."
Before he finished speaking, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the room, which was the sound of a heavy object falling.
Lu Xiao was startled.
[Could it be that something happened to His Highness inside? 】
"Husband!?"
Looking at the closed door, Lu Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and was about to use brute force to break the door open.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her shoulders and leaned over, the door opened from the inside...
