It was almost noon when the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Xuechun was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, quietly arranging the crabapple petals picked a few days ago, hoping to clean them and make delicious cakes. Xi Xian usually liked crabapple flowers the most.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xuechun wanted to do something novel to cheer her up.
When Xuechun was thinking about what mold to use, Liu Maolin rushed into the courtyard in a hurry. He broke several flower branches in the courtyard. Seeing this, Xuechun quickly stepped forward and grabbed his robe, winking and pointing.
He was not allowed inside the house.
Liu Maolin pulled Xuechun aside with an anxious expression, "Is the Emperor in there? I have something important to report."
"Yes, I am, but you can't go in." Xuechun rejected him mercilessly.
"Good Xuechun, I really have something urgent to do. Go and help me call the emperor out. I can repay you any way you want me to in the future."
Seeing that he was really anxious, Xuechun looked embarrassed and said, "I don't dare to go. The emperor and the princess are sleeping inside. Why don't you go and call them yourself."
Liu Maolin immediately blushed. He didn't expect that the emperor would come in broad daylight. Seeing his strange expression, Xue Chun hurriedly pouted at him, "What are you thinking? The emperor and the princess were just sleeping, nothing else.
"
Seeing Xuechun's ridicule, Liu Maolin argued, "I didn't say what they did? You are overthinking it." After saying that, he walked into the room, but when he arrived at the door of the inner room, he still hesitated and did not dare to speak out, even though the emperor
He did nothing and was still sleeping with the concubine. It was always disrespectful for him to interrupt her.
Having long heard Liu Maolin and Xuechun muttering outside, Yuwen Haoxuan stood up softly. He knew that Liu Maolin was a measured person and would never disturb him at such a time unless there was something urgent.
After walking out of the inner room, Yuwen Haoxuan made a silence gesture to Liu Maolin. Only after he walked out of the courtyard where Xiqian lived did Liu Maolin dare to speak.
"According to reports from spies, King Niegur of the Huns has been active in Yangcheng recently."
"King Nigur??? Habudan?" Yuwen Haoxuan narrowed his eyes. Although this man and he had never met, they were very familiar with each other.
Ten years ago, the Xiongnu united with many countries in the Han Dynasty to disintegrate the powerful Jiang State. At that time, Habudan personally commanded the Xiongnu's 300,000 troops to attack Yangcheng. The young Habudan was arrogant and had no strategy, and he and Yuwen Haoxuan
Several battles ended in disastrous defeats. When the 300,000-strong army returned to the Xiongnu, there were less than 50,000.
Although Habudan is the third son of Buda Chanyu, he is the most valued son of Buda Chanyu. He could have succeeded the Chanyu as Zuoxian King, but he was replaced by him because of this disastrous defeat.
His two elder brothers were pushed to the wild places in the east, and only one was granted the title of King Negur.
Although Habudan was arrogant, he also had some real talents and learning. In the past ten years, under his jurisdiction, the originally barren eastern region gradually became rich.
Yuwen Haoxuan knew that this man's ability should not be underestimated. After ten years of hard work, he now stepped into the Han Dynasty again, and he didn't know what kind of conspiracy he might have.
"Can our people find out where they are hiding and who they are interacting with?"
Liu Maolin looked ashamed and replied shamefully, "They are all very cautious. It is difficult for our people to even follow them. We still haven't figured out how many of them are here."
Yuwen Hao
Liu Maolin perked up after hearing this. Why didn't he think of such a wonderful strategy? Now that Buda Shanyu is old, the battle between King Zuoxian and King Youxian has become fierce. Now the rapid rise of the eastern part of Habudan has become two sides.
The thorn in people's hearts, they all understand Habudan as a person, Habudan has a perverse and strong temperament and will never surrender to any of them, even if one of them succeeds to the position of Shanyu in the future.
Therefore, they have a common goal to destroy Habudan, but they did not take action because of Buda Chanyu. If they knew that Habudan had left the east and came to the Han territory, they would definitely destroy him at all costs, and
All he has to do is watch the tiger fight from a distance.
Liu Maolin left quickly after receiving the order. Yuwen Haoxuan turned around and walked back to Xiqian's courtyard, but stopped when one foot just stepped on the steps. After a short pause, he turned around and disappeared among the shadows of the trees.
The sun shone warmly on her body, and Xiqian opened her eyes drowsily, her head feeling like lead. She thought it was due to her irregular schedule in the past two days, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Princess is awake, do you want to eat something?" Xuechun walked into the house with a smile.
Seeing her smiling strangely, Xi Qian asked in confusion, "Why are you giggling again? Could it be that you didn't have enough fun yesterday and you still want to go out today?"
"That's not true!" Xuechun said seriously, "I'm happy for the princess!"
"Happy for me? What should I be happy about?"
"Why not? The emperor has been treating you better and better since leaving the palace. He sends Eunuch Liu to ask about your situation every day. He has to take care of everything about your food, clothing, housing and transportation. The emperor has been watching over you this morning when you fell asleep!
Just left???"
Xi Zhi's fingers touched the bed next to her, and sure enough, there was still a trace of warmth. Xuechun's voice gradually disappeared into her thoughts. Xi Zhi clenched her palms tightly and wrinkled the silk sheets under her body, subconsciously wanting to
Catch that lingering warmth.
"Princess, why is your face so red?" After Xue Chun rambled on for a long time, he realized that Xi Xuan's face was flushed, her eyes were a little distracted, and she didn't listen to what she was saying at all.
Seeing that Xiqian didn't respond at all, Xuechun shook her shoulders, but it was better not to shake. After Xuechun shook her hard, Xiqian's eyesight went dark and she didn't know anything.
Xuechun tried to wake her up in panic, but it was useless no matter how he screamed, her skin was hot when his palm touched it.
Xuechun slapped himself a few times in self-reproach, rushed out of the inner room with tears in his eyes, called the maid to take care of Xiqian, while he rushed to report to Yuwen Haoxuan.
In the coma, Xi Qian felt as if she had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell, sometimes in a sea of fire and sometimes as if she had fallen into a glacier. After several twists and turns, she only felt unbearable pain in her heart and lungs.
Yu Wen Hao
people are frightened.
Xuechun was crying at the side while changing the scarf on Xiqian's forehead.
Finally, the old doctor put away his pulse pillow, bowed to Yuwen Haoxuan and asked, "May I ask if this girl has ever been seriously injured in the past year?"
Thinking of the scene when Xixi was carried back from Lanchi Palace that day, Yu Wen Haoxuan's face became darker and darker, "I was injured half a year ago and was in bed for more than a month before I recovered. However, the medicinal materials used at that time were the best. It makes no sense.
It will relapse so badly.”
"I am old and incapable of talent. I think it was because the girl accidentally caught the wind and cold, coupled with the depression in her heart, that caused the external evils to invade the body and the old disease relapsed."
"Feeling depressed?" Yuwen Haoxuan looked at Xi Qian in confusion, his sharp eyes like an eagle swept over everyone in the room, and finally landed on the old doctor.
The old doctor's heart trembled, and he knelt on the ground with weak legs. Although he did not know Yuwen Haoxuan's true identity, his aura of majesty was not something ordinary people could have. "I am incompetent and can only cure superficial diseases.
If you want to cure your heart disease, you probably have to find the root cause."
Yuwen Haoxuan looked downcast, waved his hand and said, "Go down and prescribe medicine."
The maids quickly led the old doctor out of the inner room, and everyone wiped away cold sweat after going out.
