Chapter 422: Dowry

Yunxi was originally sent to an inn in the city. Later, some shadow guards realized that she was Huan's confidante, so they sent her directly to Xianjianlu's other courtyard. When she woke up and opened her eyes, her first words were: "You actually

Dare to knock me out!"

Xian Jianlan was startled by her and said, "You were knocked unconscious and brought back, but I didn't knock you unconscious."

"How long have I been unconscious?" Yun Xi touched the back of his neck, which was still aching, and asked.

"It's been about two days since we got here from the inn." Xian Jianlu said after calculation.

"Senior brother, are you making a mistake? It's been so long since I brought you here, but you still won't wake me up." Yun Xi got out of bed angrily.

"It's not that I don't want to wake you up, it's just that Huan didn't let me do it. He said that you have been tired for so long and should let you have a good rest." Xian Jianluo explained.

"I'll go find him." Yun Xi said casually and went out directly.

"Wait, why are you walking so fast? I haven't told you yet, Huan is still resting in bed." Before Xian Jianluo could finish speaking, it was too late to call her back.

Yunxi rushed straight to his room with an arrow to find someone.

Huan was lying quietly on the bed. She approached him, looked at his bandaged wounds, and sat on the edge of the bed feeling distressed.

"Are you awake?" Huan opened his eyes and said.

"I shouldn't have left you alone that day. You were hurt so badly." Yun Xi held his hand and said worriedly.

"I'm fine. I've healed slowly. I can get out of bed after lying down for a while. I'm not with you. Did the Second Emperor do anything to you?" Huan was only concerned about this issue.

"Are you afraid that he will mess with me?" Yun Xi lay down, approached him, and asked with a sly smile.

"Don't smile so crookedly, I know what you want to say." Huan felt a little embarrassed when she stared at her. After blinking a few times, he said, "Don't you have any other expression?"

"Meaning? Hehe, of course." Yun Xi kissed his lips gently.

I just wiped it over at once, wiped the corner of his mouth with my finger, and said: "Since you are still injured, I can't be too rough on you. Let's continue after you are healed."

Huan's face turned a little red, and he turned his face away unnaturally.

"I'm going to make some nourishing medicinal soup for you to drink." Yun Xi chuckled and went out.

After closing the door, she touched her mouth with her finger. In the past, she was particularly excited to kiss him. But now it became a bit dull. During the kiss just now, Huang Guiyuan actually appeared in her mind. That made her stop.

Kissed her.

She was a little confused, whether she had this illusion because she had been close to Huang Guiyuan before. She shook her head and walked towards the kitchen.

There is still a week left before Yan Ruocheng's wedding. The betrothal gift was divided into two batches. One batch was sent to her hometown. The other batch was sent to Xian Jianlu. They have been delivered one by one.

Yan Ruozhen was leaning against the window and worrying. Huang Fengmo had already sent someone to her hometown to pick up her relatives. She felt annoyed when she thought of the second mother who was blind to money.

"Ruo Li, Ruo Li? Are you there?" Huang Fengmo called her from behind.

She came back to her senses and said, "Uh? Your Highness, is something wrong?"

"I've called you several times, what are you doing?" Huang Fengmo asked.

"Your Highness, I want to tell you something so that you can be mentally prepared." She said in a slightly awkward tone.

"What's the matter? It sounds like I'm annoyed by your voice." Huang Fengmo said speculatively.

"Have I mentioned my family to you before?" She asked tentatively first. "Your family? What's wrong? Are they opposed to this marriage?" Huang Fengmo said.

"No. It's too late for them to be happy. They can build a cornucopia." Yan Ruocheng said a little boringly.

"Huh? Cornucopia? Are you trying to tell me that your family is very greedy? Are you worried that my betrothal gift is too small and they are not satisfied with it?" Huang Fengmo asked.

"No, no, the dowry gift given by His Highness is enough. It's not a question of dowry gift, but I'm afraid that my family will be rude when they come here. After all, they are country people." Yan Ruocheng said hurriedly.

"It's okay. I'm holding a wedding in my own house and I haven't invited many officials. Your maternal family will definitely entertain them well when they come, but have you told them that I am a useless person?" Huang Feng

Instead, Mo felt embarrassed.

Yan Ruozhen sealed his mouth with one finger and said, "I've said a lot. You are not allowed to say that you are a cripple. I will heal you."

"Yes, I believe you." Huang Fengmo showed a gentle smile. However, behind the smile, something in his heart gradually went deeper.

Yun Xi looked at the piles of betrothal gifts and asked Xian Jianluo: "Why should she leave the betrothal gifts with you when she gets married?"

"I am her adopted brother, so of course she can be placed with me." Xian Jianlu said matter-of-factly.

"Don't she have parents? It's your turn as a sworn sworn brother to accept the dowry gift." Yun Xi held her cheek and said.

"Are these betrothal gifts an eyesore to you? They're so long-winded. Why don't you go and boil some medicine for your fantasy to drink?" Xian Jianlu said in annoyance.

Yun Xi took out a bunch of delicacies from the betrothal gift and said, "I'm going to use these to make soup to replenish Huan's body."

"Take it. Don't bother me." Xian Jianlan said while sorting out the gifts.

When Yun Xi returned to the kitchen, she saw a little guy stealing her soup to drink.

"How dare the thief come here to steal the soup!" she shouted loudly.

Xiao? turned around calmly and said: "You didn't add salt, this soup is not salty enough."

"I cooked it for the injured, not for you. Why are you here, little guy?" Yun Xi crossed his arms and asked.

"Brother Huan, he doesn't like to drink light soup, he likes to drink soup with strong flavor." Xiao? ignored her and poured a few spoonfuls of salt directly.

"Hey! You are seeking death!" Yun Xi was a little angry.

Xiao? tasted the taste and said with satisfaction: "It tastes pretty much the same. I'm in charge of logistics, so I know Brother Huan's taste best."

"Then you can tell me, what exactly do you want to do here? Could it be that you want to take care of Huan's daily life and food?" Yun Xi asked.

"No, I'm just passing by to see Brother Huan. I'll go back and report your situation to the Second Emperor by the way." Xiao? explained.

"Huang Guiyuan? Where is he now?" Yun Xi asked.

"I can't tell you." Xiao? said.

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

Yun Xi tied him up with a few movements of his hands and feet.

"Hey! Why are you tying me up?" Xiao? struggled.

"I want you to take me to see him." Yun Xi said with her hands on her hips.

"I have given an order not to bring anyone over, unless you are a shadow guard." Xiao? said.

"This is easy."

Yunxi suddenly changed into a set of shadow guard clothes and dressed up like a man. “Let’s go, no one will suspect me like this.”

Xiao? had no choice but to take her over to see Huang Guiyuan.

At dusk, the bamboo forest area was very quiet, and only the bamboo leaves could be heard rustling in the cool breeze.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Huang Guiyuan was still blowing on the stove and lighting the fire.

Huang Chenling asked him to stay here alone, but there was not even a servant. He had to do all the labor by himself, which was quite a hassle.

After blowing for a long time, there was more smoke than the fire, which made him cough and burst into tears.

When Yunxi and Xiao? arrived, they saw a lot of thick smoke billowing out of the wooden house.

"Wow, could something happen to him?" Yun Xi rushed in hastily, looking for Huang Guiyuan.

"Second Emperor! Are you okay?"

"Cough cough cough!"

She heard the sound and walked behind him.

Huang Guiyuan turned his head and was a little surprised when he saw her.

Yun Xi chuckled at him, then punched him on the head and dragged him out.

"Why did you drag me out? I want to make a fire." Huang Guiyuan touched the head of the head that was hurt by her and said.

"Who is that? Go and build a fire, otherwise the wooden house will be burned down." Yun Xi directed the little boy to do it.

Xiao? went in helplessly, leaving the two of them outside.

"I'm here to beat you up." Yun Xi let go of his hand and said.

After Huang Guiyuan heard this, he took a step back. He remembered what happened before knocking her out. Did she really seek revenge for that little thing?

"That day, I was afraid that you would follow me, so I knocked you unconscious." He explained.

"Aren't I coming over now? So it's unnecessary for you to knock me out. Why do you stay here alone and go back to your mansion?" Yun Xi looked around and asked.

"It's safer here than the mansion. I can't show up yet. It's just that there's no servant here, so it's really inconvenient." Huang Guiyuan said helplessly. As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach made a rare and indecent sound: "Gu

Gugu..."

"Have you not eaten yet?" Yun Xi asked, holding back her smile.

"I was just about to make a fire, but you dragged me out. Since you're here, I'll leave it to you to cook. I'll go back to the room to have a rest first." Huang Guiyuan said it matter-of-factly, and took a long stride.

He walked back to the room with his hands behind his back.

In the evening, the table was filled with delicious dishes. This meal was basically cooked by Xiao?, while Yunxi just cooked some decoctions for body conditioning.

"Let's all sit down and eat together." Huang Guiyuan picked up the rice bowl politely and started eating. He was eating like a child. Maybe he didn't have enough to eat these days, so his eating behavior was a bit rude.

.

Yun Xi actually thought that his current gluttony was a bit cute, staring intently at him picking up vegetables.

"Eat it, why don't you eat it?" Huang Guiyuan brought some vegetables to her.

"I'm wondering if you wouldn't be able to eat enough tonight if I didn't come?" Yun Xi asked curiously.

"I'm just a little hungry today. I usually eat well." Huang Guiyuan said in a face-saving manner.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates will not come over tomorrow. I have other tasks. So when you cook, remember to wash the rice. When making soup, remember to pour the oil first, and then add the salt when it is cooked." Xiao?Hao

Said without hesitation.

After hearing this, Huang Guiyuan said: "Okay. I understand."

"Pfft, hahaha." Yun Xi couldn't help laughing.
