Chapter 20 The vinegar jar, fried
In the early morning, Xu Buling waited for the palace gate to open and bid farewell to the Changle Palace with the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's attitude has changed a lot now, and she is not ordinary to clear the heat. She has been asking about her well-being for a long time, and then personally sent him outside the palace gate before returning, which makes him a little unbearable. Moreover, she saw the "Lotus Hidden Carp" that the emperor could only see last night. To be honest, she was also guilty and ran very fast.
Jia Yi's disappearance in the palace city has been discovered, but Jia Yi is one of the secret guards. He is a master who is the head but not the tail. He cannot determine Jia Yi's whereabouts in a short period of time, and has not caused too much trouble.
Although Xu Buling's bloody battle last night was short, the cost was quite high. The cold poison in his body was severely sluggish, he walked a little, his face was a little pale, which was almost the same as excessive indulgence. He had to go back and cultivate for a few days.
Xu Buling returned to the Imperial College in a carriage. After discussing the clues he got with Lao Xiao, he returned to the room under the bell and drum tower alone. After closing the door, he sat cross-legged on the bed, calming his mind and calming his breath.
When meditating, I needed to emptie my brain and think nothing. Xu Buling didn't notice anything unusual. After about half a quarter of an hour, before he could enter into meditation, Mrs. Lu's voice rang out from outside.
Xu Buling suddenly had a headache. He hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed his face a few times, making his skin look rosy, and then stood up.
Scream-
Before knocking on the door, the door was pushed open.
Mrs. Lu walked in quickly, her hair was a little messy, and she probably didn't organize it carefully when she went out. The Imperial College was very big and she couldn't ride a horse and a car. She walked in a hurry. She had a few sweat on her cheeks, and she was not very energetic, and she looked a little tired in her eyes. It was obviously because she didn't fall asleep last night.
After seeing Xu Buling, Mrs. Lu felt relieved after seeing Xu Buling, her nervous expression disappeared, and turned into depression. She folded her hands around her waist and glanced at Xu Buling, then turned her cheeks aside.
Lao Xiao made an expression of "unhelpable" outside the door, and then left on his own with a crutch.
Xu Buling smiled embarrassedly, stood up and closed the door:
"Aunt Lu, why are you here?"
Mrs. Lu's clothes were undulating, she took a few breaths, held back all night, but after seeing Xu Buling, she couldn't speak. After a long silence, she finally sighed quietly:
"Ling'er, your father asked me to take care of you. There was no one in the night. If something went wrong, how could I explain to your parents?"
Xu Buling smiled embarrassedly, raised his hand to hold Mrs. Lu's arm and sat down on the bed:
"I went to the palace last night. Didn't I say hello to you in the afternoon..."
"Did you stay with the Queen Mother last night?"
“…”
Xu Buling heard this and thought a little bit strange, and he thought about it for a while: "Of course, I drank too much last night, so I slept in the side hall all night..."
"Have the Empress Dowager arranged for the palace maid to serve you?"
Mrs. Lu frowned, folded her hands on her legs, glanced at Xu Buling, obviously using great restraint to maintain peace and stability.
(→_→)
Xu Buling was really a little overwhelmed and shook his head and chuckled: "How is it possible? The Empress Dowager is an elder, and it is not so ridiculous yet. Besides, even if the Empress Dowager arranges, I don't like a few palace maids and sleep alone."
Mrs. Lu was half-believing and half-doubted. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned to Xu Buling's chest and sniffed it.
The orchid and faint fragrance spread like a man, as if he was lying in his arms. Xu Buling raised his hands, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes. He also smelled it in Mrs. Lu's hair bun:
"How about the powder I bought yesterday? If you like it, I will buy more next time."
Mrs. Lu didn't smell the scent of the fox, and her expression calmed down a little. She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Buling, poked her with her finger:
"You just don't listen to me. I'm not stopping you from looking for women. Men are full of energy and it's natural to have women they like. But men also have to be self-righteous. As the prince of Prince Su, the only one who can deserve you is the innocent girl. Those palace maids... Anyway, I can't deserve you, so I'm for your own good..."
"I know, I know."
While speaking, Xu Buling raised his hand and pressed Mrs. Lu's shoulders. He pressed Mrs. Lu down with a little force.
“!!!”
Mrs. Lu was stunned and instinctively raised her hand and curled up in front of her chest. She looked at Xu Buling, but she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of fear and confusion.
Xu Buling asked Mrs. Lu to lie down, and then pressed her legs diligently: "Are you tired of walking just now? Actually, let the servant come over and summon him..."
The legs were very soft, and they were obviously tightened a little at this time, and they were tied together.
Mrs. Lu leaned against the bedding and looked around. No one saw the doors and windows, but it was still a bit weird. Many words were forgotten by this interruption, so she had to raise her hand and push Xu Buling's arm: "No need... I'm not tired..." The voice trembled a little.
Xu Buling hand and pressed it carefully, Zhan Yan smiled: "How Aunt Lu treats me, Ling'er has always kept it in his heart. How could he deceive Aunt Lu? He just didn't want Aunt Lu to be frightened and avoid Aunt Lu..."
Mrs. Lu's legs were numb and twisted uncomfortably for a few times. She gradually adapted and stopped talking. She had a little bit of blush on her cheeks, and her expression was dignified and quiet:
"Hmph~ You just speak nicely, me~ Anyway, it's not your aunt. You may forget me once you leave in two years... If you forget, forget it. Just burn some paper money for me when I die of old age..."
Xu Buling's eyes were helpless, and he rubbed and twisted slowly from bottom to top:
"When I leave Beijing, I will definitely take Aunt Lu back to Xiliang for a walk. If Aunt Lu doesn't leave, I won't go back..."
“Where did I leave…”
Mrs. Lu muttered absent-mindedly, staring at Xu Buling's hand, and then looking at Xu Buling's eyes.
Xu Bu's eyes are pure and flawless, so naturally there is no evil thought.
Mrs. Lu gradually relaxed and couldn't find the topic, so she turned her eyes to the empty room, looked around for a moment, and suddenly her brows frowned slightly, and smelled it in the air.
"Ling'er, why does the fragrance of osmanthus in the house...? It's exactly the same as that of Miss Song..."
"Um?"
Xu Buling was a little confused and followed suit and smelled it.
At this moment, Xu Buling's expression suddenly froze.
I often come into contact with Song Yufu, and the fragrance on Song Yufu's body is light. I have become accustomed to it for a long time and it is difficult to notice. At this time, after Mrs. Lu's reminder, I found that there was indeed a faint fragrance in the room.
"Uh...Song Yufu came once a few days ago..."
"Nonsense."
Mrs. Lu sat up, her eyes full of suspicion, and she looked around and said: "The ingredients of Xianzhizhai are exquisite, and the taste is very light. Not to mention a few days, the taste will be dissipated even in a few hours. You must have just arrived..."
Xu Buling blinked and inexplicably said: "Is there any? It's early in the morning, I just came back shortly... Could it be that Miss Song had just come to find me?"
Mrs. Lu pinched the corner of her skirt and felt confused again. She looked at the empty room, and finally moved her eyes to the bed and prepared to lean over to take a look.
Xu Buling's face changed drastically, but the portrait of the empress dowager was still placed underneath. If Mrs. Lu saw it, it would be useless to pinch her legs.
"Aunt Lu, there is nothing good to look at below, so I'll accompany you out shopping."
Xu Buling held Mrs. Lu's arm and refused to let her lean over to check.
But Mrs. Lu was already suspicious. Seeing Xu Buling's reaction, her heart trembled and aggrieved came to her eyes:
"You hid Miss Pine under the bed?"
Xu Buling quickly shook his head: "How is it possible, why should I hide her underneath?"
"Then why don't you let me see?"
"I……"
Xu Buling opened his mouth and was about to confess the beauty picture directly when a cough suddenly sounded in the room.
"Ah, cut~~"
It seems the floor is a bit cool...
