Chapter 284 The Daughter of the Criminal Minister 31
Xu Mian got out of bed and walked outside: "Go and ask Xiaohong to come and serve you."
"Yes, sir!" replied the guard at the door.
Not long after Xu Mian left, Xiao Hong came. She cleared the bowls and basins on the table and carried them out. After a while, she came back with a kettle, two basins, and two hand towels in her hands.
Standing next to it, the basin was divided up and down. I washed my face first, and wiped my body with a hand towel in another basin.
Xining wiped it by himself, while Xiaohong helped wring the hand towels. They also brought tea for mouthwash and a soft cloth with tooth powder. After Xining cleaned his teeth with a small soft cloth dipped in tooth powder, he rinsed his mouth with tea and spit in
Inside the small spittoon.
Xiaohong brought another cup of tea. This cup of tea was obviously much better than before, and it should be for drinking. So Xining took two sips and gave it to Xiaohong: "That's it."
Xiaohong packed up her things and went out, then came back a while later, put down the mosquito net, and changed the ice basin in the room, and then it came to an end.
After asking if there was anything else she wanted to give, Xiao Hong bowed and left. Everything was just like what Fu Rong had served her. The whole process was exactly the same. Even the tea for gargling was the same as before. On the contrary, after the Gu family ransacked the house,
The quality of the last cup of tea was not as good as before.
Although it was no different from home, it also made her understand that everything in the Gu Mansion was under the control of Jin Yiwei. He knew every word, every action, and his eating and drinking habits.
Xu Mian walked in. No matter whether he was wearing Feiyu clothes or not, he always had a spring knife hanging on his waist. After closing the door, he walked to the bamboo couch in the corner of the room, took off the spring knife and placed it on the bamboo couch.
Then he took off his loose civilian clothes and lay down in only his underwear. He put the embroidered spring knife beside him where he could draw it at any time.
Even if he was injured before, this was the case and the knife never left his body.
Looking at Xu Mian lying on the bamboo couch through the mosquito net, Xining asked a little worriedly: "Where are my parents..."
This is related to the owner's reputation, damn reputation.
Xu Mian replied calmly: "The Gu family has said that you have diarrhea this morning and cannot go to the meeting. They will send out the news tomorrow that you will go to visit relatives for the summer. I have informed the Gu family that you have been found and are safe and sound. You are just a little frightened. I am worried about the remnants of King An.
If it goes against you again, I will stay outside temporarily and I will be responsible for it. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have already agreed."
This arrangement is very good. The Gu family asked Xu Mian for help and agreed that Xu Mian would be responsible for her safety. It seems that after this matter is over, if Xu Mian survives and proposes marriage again, she will happily agree.
Xining could only say: "Thank you, sir, for your thoughtful arrangements."
What kind of plane did they kidnap her, and she still wanted to say thank you? There was no way, the emperor had taken too many golden elixirs, and he was suspicious and wanted to test Xu Mian. If he could save her life and explain it to the outside world, Xu Mian
Mian is already very powerful.
"Get some rest early." Xu Mian stopped talking.
After a while, his breathing became heavier and more even, as if he was asleep.
This guy can still sleep, he is really able to withstand pressure. Xi Ning couldn't sleep, and secretly tried to understand the owner's mood.
The owner of the body must know that if he can survive, he has to marry Xu Mian. Xu Mian is actually quite good, at least he didn't think about cutting her down, killing her, or having fun, but he wholeheartedly wanted to marry the matchmaker.
But there is still a very important question, whether she should tell Xu Mian about replacing the task. Even if she refuses to admit it at the moment, Xu Mian can see it. If the task is completed and she leaves, Xu Mian will tell the other person.
What is a personality like?
I felt at a loss for a long time.
Mo Ming: "It proves that the owner of the body doesn't know what to do. Hehe, I really met a weaker person. No wonder he was eager to hang himself when he ransacked the house. Do whatever you think is good!"
She can do whatever she thinks is good... It's so difficult to handle. Xu Mian's city is very deep. Even now, she still doesn't know what he is thinking. She can only guess.
Maybe, Xu Mian may not be passionately devoted to her. This kind of tossing just makes the emperor feel that there is something to restrain him. He can feel more at ease with him. When the body owner loses its use value, there is an accident, a sudden death or something.
A piece of cake.
Xu Mian's affirmative look may also be a test. When a disaster comes, anyone's character will change. The Gu family also noticed the difference in her, but they didn't have time to think about it, thinking that it was the potential that exploded in times of crisis.
Mo Ming: "I really admire you. Why are you worrying so much? Is it a mission requirement to tell Xu Mian or not?"
Okay, it’s not a mission, so just go to sleep. We’ll talk about the rest later. Right now, my life is still hanging in the balance. If the emperor hadn’t been completely burned by the golden elixir and turned into a madman, he would have survived. But who knows that the brain destroyed by the golden elixir will
Nerves still have some sanity.
After a dreamless night, Xi Ning woke up when Xu Mian got up and took his plain clothes and embroidered spring knife.
She only turned over, and Xu Mian knew it through the mosquito net and there was no light in the bed.
Xu Mian said softly: "I have to go to court, so you can stay asleep for a while. Xiaohong will come over to serve you breakfast at four quarters. If you wake up early and don't want to go back to sleep, just call and the guard will call."
"Okay!" Xining responded.
Xu Mian walked out, closed the door gently, and left.
The emperor in the palace got up after about half an hour, washed, ate, and dressed. Even if he got up an hour late, it was only four o'clock.
The founding emperor, Zeng Taizu, stipulated that he should go to court in the morning, review memorials every day until one or two in the morning, and get up after only two or three hours of sleep. Maybe he could take a short nap in the afternoon, but in such a huge country, there were droughts, floods, harassment from foreign vassals, and officials forming cliques for personal gains.
The king would rebel from time to time. Sitting on the dragon throne felt like sitting on pins and needles. How could he still sleep?
If you don't want to be a faint emperor, you can only hold on. Even without the golden elixir, the emperor's life will be difficult to live long.
Why do you still want to be the emperor?
Xining closed her eyes and continued to sleep heartlessly.
At about eight o'clock, Xiaohong came into the room and helped her relieve herself. After washing up, she went to get breakfast.
After placing the breakfast plate next to him, he moved the table directly to the bedside.
Seeing Xiaohong effortlessly, she lifted the solid wood Eight Immortals table and placed it next to the bed. There was no sound at all when she dropped it. Xining sweated, and it turned out that she really had some skills. There were dragons and crouching tigers hidden inside the Jinyiwei.
It's Lian Jiazi.
A bowl of gruel, two meaty steamed buns that were not too big and had a lot of meat filling inside, and some Jiangnan-style pickles. With the pickles, Xi Ning had a pretty good appetite. After finishing the porridge, he also ate a meaty steamed bun.
After eating, Xiaohong cleaned up and gave her some books. While she was reading, she changed the ice basin and lit the incense burner.
The incense I ordered at this time has a unique fragrance. It does not feel sweet and greasy, but makes people feel refreshed.
Xiaohong really knows everything, and is really more capable than Furong in the house.
It was almost noon, around eleven o'clock, Xu Mian came back, and the two of them had dinner together.
Xu Mian didn't feed her this time. Each of them ate a bowl of rice. Xu Mian remained silent. After finishing the meal, rinsing her mouth and wiping her face, two cups of tea were brought over.
Chapter completed!
