028 Waking up and seeing no one
The next morning, the sun shone through the window edge into the guest room. Xia Qinghuan opened her eyes in a daze and turned her head to see that the pillow was empty.
She sat up suddenly, perhaps because she noticed the movement in the room, Cui Liu's voice sounded outside the room: "Miss Xia, are you awake? That servant comes in."
Xia Qinghuan was still not recovering from her senses. She glanced at the room and then remembered that she had come to the station with Xiang Zhujiu last night, but where did Xiang Zhujiu go?
"Miss Xia, are you awake?" Seeing that there was no answer inside, Cui Liu asked again.
"Oh...yes, come in." Xia Qinghuan lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Cui Liu came in with the washing stuff and placed it on the shelf beside her. She also held the clothes she had changed for Xia Qinghuan in her hand, which was a light yellow antique double butterfly Thousand Water Skirt.
"Miss Xia, please change this outfit to wear. I will dress you and comb your hair." Cui Liu saw that Xia Qinghuan was about to pick up the clothes she took off yesterday and quickly put down the things in her hand and ran over.
"I won't wear it yesterday. Today, the prince ordered me to bring new clothes. Does Miss Xia like it?" Cuiliu spread the thousand-shui skirt and placed it in front of Xia Qinghuan and asked her happily.
Xia Qinghuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's pretty. I haven't worn new clothes for a long time." Speaking of this, Xia Qinghuan remembered the things she threw away in that restaurant, which were worth at least two hundred taels.
There were the clothes she bought liked.
"This is made by the most famous tailor in Wuwang City, the prince invited. It uses the best cloud and water silk. The prince has used twelve hearts to the girl." Cui Liu said happily while wearing her clothes.
Xia Qinghuan's face turned even more flushed when she was said. Her face turned slightly red when she woke up, but it was as red as water-tight peaches.
Cui Liu raised her eyes and smiled and said, "Oh, the girl's face is so beautiful that I like it all after seeing it. No wonder Master Jiu couldn't let go of it. When he went out this morning, he repeatedly told me to serve you."
"Where is he going?" Xia Qinghuan was surprised. Why did Xiang Zhujiu disappear every time he woke up, as if he was very busy.
"Because of Lord Wang's affairs, it seems that he has gone to investigate the main evil. Master Jiu said that Miss Xia was waiting for him at the inn, and Doctor Yue was taking care of Lord Wang next door." Cui Liu tied a knot around her waist.
Xia Qinghuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She was obviously sleeping with two people, but when she woke up, she was the only one.
"Has your Jiu Master been used to getting up early?" Xia Qinghuan took the wet wipes handed over by Cui Liu and wiped his face, and sat on the chair consciously.
Cui Liu immediately came to comb her hair. After a few days of getting along, Xia Qinghuan already knew Cui Liu's routine of serving people.
"Get up early? No, depending on his mood, Jiu Ye is usually very busy, but it is not too early. When I was in the imperial city, I had to get up before dawn to go to the morning court. After coming to Wuwang City, Jiu Ye is relatively free." Cui Liu combed her hair while recalling her past days in the imperial city.
"Oh, Cuiliu, you have been with the Ninth Prince for a long time?" Xia Qinghuan asked curiously, Xiang Zhujiu seemed to be particularly relieved of her.
"Well... My mother used to be the nurse of Master Jiu, so she has been by her side since she was a child, and it has been more than ten years." Cui Liu smiled unconsciously when she was a child.
"Wouldn't you be sympathetic to the siblings with the Ninth Prince?" Xia Qinghuan was surprised that they had known each other for so long and had been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Isn't it a bit too inhumane to let Xiang Zhujiu even ask her to be a maid?
Cuiliu quickly said anxiously: "Girl, don't say that. I am the master and the ninth master. How can I be as good as brothers and sisters? This is absolutely impossible."
"Oh... this is how the people of their royal family are, and the distinction between superiors and inferiors is too clear." Xia Qinghuan sighed, so she asked Xiang Zhujiu to marry Yue Lingxi.
Dragons are matched with dragons, phoenixes are matched with phoenixes...the distinction between superiors and inferiors is so clear.
"It's not that way. The Ninth Prince is very nice to me and has once wanted to recognize me as my sister, but I am always a slave and I definitely don't have the courage to compete with you." Cui Liu saw that Xia Qinghuan seemed to be misunderstood to Zhujiu, so she quickly explained.
Xia Qinghuan laughed: "That's true. People like me who are wandering around the world don't dare to be as tall as you. It's better for everyone to stick to their own duties."
"No... girl, you are different. You are the ninth master's favorite girl. How can you be like a servant?"
Xia Qing laughed and didn't reply to her.
Decent people are so stubborn, let alone the noble royal family. Even if Xiang Zhujiu really likes her so much that he must marry her, the emperor above will agree.
Maybe he can't make the decision on this matter himself, but Xiang Zhujiu didn't mean that either.
After cleaning up, Xia Qinghuan went out to see Lord Wang.
When he walked in, Yueqiusheng was sitting on the couch and looking at the doctor. His eyes were a little deep, as if he had not been asleep all night. When he saw Xia Qinghuan coming in, he raised his head and showed a tired smile: "Miss Xia is sleeping well?"
Xia Qinghuan nodded: "It's great. I don't recognize the bed and can sleep anywhere. How is Lord Wang?" Xia Qinghuan looked at Lord Wang, and his face looked calm, but he was still closed and he didn't seem to wake up.
"Life should be worry-free. I'll wait for him to wake up and look for the pulse again." Yueqiusheng said as he yawned unconsciously and quickly covered it with his sleeves.
"Miss Xia laughed and didn't sleep last night, so she felt very sleepy." Yue Qiusheng said embarrassedly.
Xia Qinghuan looked at him and shook her head: "You can't do this. You go to bed first. I'll look at Lord Wang here. When he wakes up, he calls you immediately."
"Thank you for your kindness in Miss Xia. I have to watch this in person. You can go downstairs to have breakfast first. There is fresh goat milk very fresh." Yueqiu Sheng was so sleepy that he just didn't go to sleep.
It's a big deal, and he dare not relax.
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Xia Qinghuan was not willing to force it, so she took Cui Liu downstairs and walked to the stairs and was stunned. The gate of the station was full of soldiers.
Even every corner of the station was standing.
Xia Qinghuan remembered what happened last night and knew the seriousness of the matter. Unconsciously, who was going to hurt Xiang Zhujiu? And would it be dangerous for him to go out so early?
There seemed to be few people around him, just one barley.
"By the way, where is the green willow and the barley?" Xia Qinghuan sat down and immediately a soldier went to the back of the house to get breakfast.
"Go back to Miss Xia, Qingke was sent back to the house to recuperate."
"Did the Ninth Prince do things alone?" Xia Qinghuan was a little worried. Without Qingke, wouldn't he be alone be dangerous?
Cuiliu smiled: "Of course not. Miss Xia, don't worry, there are many people around Jiu Ye, but you can't see them normally. There are a lot of talents better than Qingke."
"Is that right?" Xia Qinghuan really felt that she was worried when she heard Cui Liu say this. Didn't Xiang Zhujiu show his omnipotent side last night, sprinkling gold powder and knocking down hundreds of people at once.
"Yes, our Jiu Ye is very powerful. Miss Xia, you will know everything in the future." Cui Liu said with pride.
"Yes, your master is the most powerful and can do everything." Xia Qinghuan couldn't help teasing her when she saw her like this.
"Haha, although I am the master of my servant, Miss Xia, you should be even more proud. Master Jiu is your man and your pillow." Cui Liu also fought back without showing any weakness.
Xia Qinghuan coughed lightly, lowered her head and drank the goat milk brought by the soldier. She put the bowl to her mouth, but Cui Liu shouted: "Wait."
Xia Qinghuan raised her head and looked at her strangely: "What's wrong?"
Cui Liu took out a silver stick as thick as a chopstick from her waist, took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean, then put it in the goat's milk and looked it out for a while. Then she smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Xia can drink it."
Xia Qinghuan asked in confusion: "So careful? Yesterday I heard about Doctor Yue's words, it seemed that I was very dangerous now. What does this mean?"
Cui Liu was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "Miss, don't ask, I don't know. I did this as Master Jiu told me. Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years. After all, this is not the mansion. Girl, don't think too much. This is just Master Jiu is nervous about you."
Xia Qinghuan curled her lips: "Don't think I don't know. I've been living in the world for so many years. Is it so easy to hide it from me? Is anyone trying to use me to deal with Xiang Zhujiu?"
Cui Liu was stunned again. Unexpectedly, Xia Qinghuan was so clear that she could guess such a layer, which shows that she was also trying to use her heart to Master Jiu.
"Miss, you've thought too much. It's okay. Master Jiu has never been afraid of anyone in this yellowing plain." Cuiliu handed her the bowl: "Drink quickly."
Xia Qinghuan also knew that she probably couldn't ask anything, so she took the bowl and started drinking it. It seemed that she still had to ask Yueqiu Sheng about this. He made it very clear last night. As long as he knocked it in a bit, he should tell it.
Xia Qinghuan finished her breakfast and went outside the station to breathe.
I came in a hurry last night and was so dark that I couldn't pay attention to the situation outside the station.
This inn seems to be a corner point leading to Wuwang City. It is almost deserted around it. Only this building stands here. Seven or eight horses are fed in the horse shed next to it. There is an old man feeding it there.
Not far ahead there is a broken wall, and in addition to this is a green grassland, decorated with yellow, purple and purple small orange flowers.
It is a good choice to throw her here, so at least she can't escape even if she wants to. Xiang Zhujiu really has good intentions.
Xia Qinghuan was bored and fed the horses with the old man in the horse shed for a while, and had to return to the inn.
Suddenly I felt like I miss Lingshan so I did whatever I wanted. I went to the stream to play in the water, practiced swords in the cave, climbed on trees to pick wild fruits, and took rare treasures on cliffs. Everything was so free and easy.
Unlike now, I can only be locked up here and protected by a bunch of people, and it is exhausting to others and myself.
When she returned to Lord Wang's room at the inn, Lord Wang just woke up. Yueqiusheng was nervously taking his pulse for him. Xia Qinghuan walked in and asked, "How is it?"
Lord Wang half-squinted his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be unable to open.
Yueqiusheng shook his head: "I woke up because I woke up, but the poison seems to have not been removed yet... I'm afraid..."
"Will I give him some more blood?"
