Just as he was thinking dullly, he saw Xia Houzhan put on his clothes. Shen Qing looked back and was stunned for a moment. Their original clothes were soaked. There was no spare clothes for him in the palace, so he wore Gong E's clothes.
The one he received was a gray and white brocade robe, embroidered with a picture of auspicious clouds in gold thread.
Shen Qing had only seen the general wearing dark clothes. This time, she suddenly felt that the gray and white clothes matched the general's cold and flamboyant temperament. She continued to look at her silently, and she happened to meet his eyes looking back at her with interest.
Shen Qing averted his eyes in annoyance, cursing himself secretly, what were he thinking, he had just escaped death and was immediately beguiled by beauty...
Just as Xiahou Zhan was about to speak, he heard the high-pitched voice of the eunuch coming from outside the silent house, "The Holy Lord has arrived, the Queen has arrived."
Shen Qing frowned, it was already midnight, how could two such high-level leaders in the palace bother to come here.
The eunuchs and maids serving in the palace came in and opened the door, then quickly went out and knelt down to worship outside the door. Fu Yingxuan ignored the servants who were kneeling on the ground and walked in with long strides. Queen Zhao
He took Zhao Suxue and followed him slowly.
Xia Houzhan was about to salute when he was stopped by Fu Yingxuan with a wave of his hand, "There is no need to be polite. These assassins are too rampant today. Are you injured?"
Fu Yingxuan was extremely worried about the condition of his son and Qing Luo. After hearing the report from the Imperial Guard, he immediately set off to visit them. On the way, he met Empress Zhao who was also coming.
"Go back to your Majesty, nothing will happen to me." Xiahou Zhan stood beside the bed and spoke calmly.
Fu Yingxuan expressed his gratitude and turned to look at Qingluo sitting on the bed. Shen Qing straightened up and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, Qingluo injured her leg and can't salute you..."
"It doesn't matter," Fu Yingxuan smiled heartily, "I've heard the imperial doctor tell you about your injury. It's a shame that something like this happened during the Winter Solstice celebration. I've given special instructions to the imperial hospital and the imperial dining room.
After this period, please stay in the palace and recuperate!"
Shen Qing hesitated. This palace was Xue Yixuan's territory and it was too dangerous for her, so she thought of a polite refusal and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, it's the same for the general and I to go back to the residence..."
Xia Houzhan had the same idea, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Fu Yingxuan say loudly: "No need to say more, let's just arrange the matter like this. There are many people serving in the palace, so it is safer to take care of it. I can't let you stay."
What's the root of the disease? Besides, since you are recuperating here, I think it would be more convenient for me to come and see you. Now that those assassins have been killed, I have also ordered people to strengthen the security in the palace, so that things like tonight will not happen again.
"
Shen Qing sighed silently in his heart. The old emperor's kindness was difficult to say, and it seemed that there was no room for refutation. Xiahou Zhan knew that his father wanted to see them more, so he looked back at Qing Luo and didn't say anything.
Refuse, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"It's just," Fu Yingxuan lowered his eyebrows in thought, "the assassins who broke in tonight are all dead. We haven't found out who is the mastermind behind it yet..."
It wasn't whether the old emperor said this intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Qing always felt that it felt strange to hear it. He turned his eyes and looked at the ugly-looking Empress Zhao and Zhao Suxue behind the old emperor. They had been chatting heatedly for a while, but they had forgotten the existence of the empress.
Forgot.
It was the Empress who first proposed that the Winter Solstice celebration be handed over to her, and it was she who ordered her to hold the celebration in Neihu. It may be that she and Xue Yixuan conspired to attract her attention this time. I don't know if it is to avoid suspicion or not.
He showed that he was very concerned and came over in the middle of the night.
Zhao Suxue silently glared at Shen Qingluo several times. Thinking that she could escape death even after being tied up by an assassin at the bottom of the lake, she felt extremely resentful and unhappy. She really wished she could see her body now, so that she would be in a better mood!
Queen Zhao looked back at her and came over with a smile without any fear, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Royal Guards will conduct such a large-scale search tonight, they will definitely find the person behind this murderous act, and so will I."
With some help, Qingluo organized such a wonderful Winter Solstice celebration for the Holy Lord. We must talk about it and find out everything so that she and General Mo Yu can get justice, don't you think?"
Fu Yingxuan nodded thoughtfully, "That's what the Queen said."
Shen Qing secretly trembled with goosebumps, and she still tried to do something. If she didn't help, she would come up with bad ideas to cause harm, so she snickered.
She is just a little person. Her biggest wish in life is to find someone who loves each other and make endless money. She accidentally became a tourist and was dragged into the drama of a palace fight. It's really...can't afford to hurt her.

While they were chatting, they smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine coming from outside the house. A little palace lady came in from outside with a medicine bowl and said, "I've seen the Holy Emperor, I've seen the Queen, I've seen General Mo Yu."
"General, Madam's medicine is ready."
"Bring it here," Xia Houzhan said calmly. He turned his head and saw the depressed expression on Shen Qing's facial features. He immediately understood that this woman was not only afraid of pain, but also suffered from pain. He whispered again: "This general
I’ll drink it for you myself.”
Drink it for her personally?! Little Gong'e came over in response. The strong smell of the medicine became stronger and stronger. Shen Qing raised her eyes and glared at him, her heart kept jumping. This terrible habit will never get rid of her. She will never get rid of it.
I’m afraid of drinking this kind of Chinese medicine that smells very bitter!
Empress Zhao glanced at them half-heartedly. Since she had already been here once and had enough talk about the scene, she no longer had the intention to watch the love between their husband and wife. "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Qingluo needs to be well after drinking the medicine."
Rest, let’s go back first.”
"Okay." Fu Yingxuan responded, still looking at them with loving eyes full of smiles. Today's events can even show that Qingluo occupies a very important position in Zhan'er's heart. Thinking of his son's failure
He was very happy to hold a wedding to witness them becoming an official couple. Just as he was thinking about it, Fu Yingxuan suddenly had an excellent idea in his heart, "Zhan'er, take good care of Qingluo. I'll come back another day."
Look at you."
Fu Yingxuan's casual address caused Empress Zhao beside him to pause immediately. A moment of surprise flashed in her eyes. She turned to look at them a few more times with suspicion, and then slowly followed the emperor.
Out.
After everyone left, they were the only two people left in the room.
Shen Qing's mind was full of how to avoid drinking Chinese medicine. She thought depressedly that it would be great if there were pills like Western medicine in this era. She could swallow them whole and not be afraid of having a bitter taste in her mouth.
"Open your mouth." Xia Houzhan scooped up a spoonful of dark bitter medicine and handed it to her, leaving her no room to retreat.
Shen Qing frowned and started to pick at it. He carefully went up to smell it and immediately frowned, "It's too hot!"
Xia Houzhan said "Oh", brought it back and carefully blew it to cool it down. Shen Qing looked at the general doing such a thing for her in a daze. She didn't know whether to lament the tenderness of the tough man or scratch the wall. She would definitely not be able to escape.
.
Before he finished thinking, the general handed the medicine over again, "It won't be hot this time. You are not allowed to make excuses. This medicine is good for your foot injury. If you don't want to be bored in the room all day, give it to me."
Drink it honestly!"
"..." Get rid of it to save her some face. He saw through all these little thoughts.
"drink."
"Oh..." Shen Qing responded in a muffled voice. She opened her mouth helplessly and took a small sip. As soon as it slipped into her throat, she immediately felt a sense of nausea. She couldn't stand it after just one sip. There was still more than half a bowl left for her to drink.
How to live?! "No! If you ask me to drink this, it would be better to ask the imperial doctors to give me raw herbs to eat!"
Xiahou Zhan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Shen Qing refused again, "Even if I have to stay in the room all day long, don't drink anymore. Don't they say that surviving a catastrophe will lead to blessings in the future? I survived a catastrophe.
Why are you still suffering like this?! General, I really don’t want to drink anymore. My life is so tough, this little injury should be healed soon! Really!"
Xia Houzhan chuckled helplessly and refused to buy her account, "I don't want to marry a lame woman as my wife. I have to drink even if I don't want to drink!"
"Otherwise, you go find a girl with sound limbs to be your wife, go ahead, go ahead!" Shen Qing covered her mouth and waved her hand in a smart and positive manner.
"This general doesn't want to hear such words!" Xiahou Zhan was filled with anger. She was doing well at the bottom of the lake, but when she came back, she said such words to him so easily.
Shen Qing, who was being scolded, lowered his head half-way and spoke with a hint of grievance, "I didn't mean it like that, but this medicine is too unpleasant to drink. I really can't drink it..."
Xiahou Zhan turned his head and looked at the medicine in his hand, "In that case, I, the general, will drink it with you."
"Huh?" Shen Qing was slightly stunned. Is there anyone who is accompanying her to take the medicine? Why? Just as she was wondering, she saw the general take a sip of Chinese medicine, leaned over, grabbed her waist with his big hand, and gently pulled her away.
Push her down on the bed.
"Yeah!" Shen Qing, who had no time to refuse, let out a muffled sound. Without clenching her teeth, he rushed in easily, and then her mouth was filled with a strong and terrible smell of Chinese medicine. She couldn't cover it up and immediately slid into her.
throat, Shen Qing patted his chest depressedly, drank the Chinese medicine, and her mouth was full of bitter taste. When she was feeling depressed, the general was still doing his duty and taking advantage of him to do the job of 'accompanying him to drink'.
He gently sucked her tongue, as if he wanted to take away the medicinal taste on her tongue. Their lips and tongues met, and their noses were filled with the faint medicinal smell that could not be dissipated. The two people's bodies were close to each other, and Shen Qing forgot the bitter medicine for a moment.
She felt uncomfortable, and when she was confused, Xia Houzhan parted his lips, moved his head slightly, drank the remaining medicine into his mouth, turned around, and continued to feed her domineeringly...
Finally, the medicine was finished, and the medicine bowl rolled on the floor. The two people hugging each other and kissing on the bed seemed to have forgotten the original serious topic.
When Shen Qing finally had a chance to breathe, she realized that she had been kissed until her whole body went limp. The general was staring at her from a close distance, his eyes sparkling like stars with infinite charm.
Shen Qing swallowed hard and said with confused thoughts: "Um...you did a good job of drinking with me. Let's put the tip in the account first and settle it together another day."
"So, this general has found a job with you?"
"..."orz, she seems to have made taking advantage of him a legitimate thing...!
