Chapter 37 The candle is too hot, a little burnt

Xia Qingyao's heart thumped, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Is it a honor to be praised by a great beauty like you?"

Murong Zheng gave her a blank look, looked out the window with a stern face, and after a moment, he relaxed and suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing him like this, Xia Qingyao couldn't help laughing.

Murong Zheng paid attention to the movement outside, but he couldn't help but look at Xia Qingyao from the corner of his eyes.

Today's incident in Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion made Murong Zheng clearly and intuitively understand Xia Qingyao's personality for the first time. This woman was cunning and vicious, and she was clever and tricky. She was completely different from those gentle and kind ladies of the family.

But such a bad woman could make him feel anxious. When he heard something happened to her, he came to save her in person regardless of his body that was damaged by fire and fire.

Tsk, what's wrong with him?

Murong Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he simply attributed the reason to Xia Qingyao as the only one who could detoxify him.

The sunset quickly fell on the other side of the mountain, and the sky gradually turned dark blue. An eunuch outside the door said softly: "Miss Xia, I'll take care of the lights."

When Murong Zheng heard the sound, he quickly hid behind the bed tent in the inner room.

"Come in." Xia Qingyao responded.

The door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and two little eunuchs came in with lights and lit up the silk lanterns in the house one after another.

When I saw that the four dishes on the Eight Immortals table did not move, one of the thin young eunuchs was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Miss Xia, but this dish is not what you like?"

Xia Qingyao looked at the expression of the eunuch. Seeing his eyes dodging, his forehead was sweating, and his expression showed anxiety, he couldn't help but smile:

“The food is very good, I like it all.”

"Then you..."

"It's just that there is a bit of sauce in it, I don't like it very much." Xia Qingyao narrowed his eyes and turned into crescent moons. "Today's dish, probably Gao Fangwei took special care of me?"

The little eunuch's smile was stiff.

Xia Qingyao didn’t understand what he didn’t understand after seeing it?

"Do you please do me a favor." Xia Qingyao called another little eunuch, "What do you call your father-in-law?"

"I'm a little plum."

"Well. Little Plum, these four dishes are all delicious in the world, especially the sauce is rare. I know the prince likes it too, so I didn't want to move. I kept them all for your prince. Now you put them in a food box. Take them to the prince immediately."

"Yes." Little Lizi glanced at her companion, immediately put the vegetables in the food box quickly, and carried them out.

"Miss Xia, you can't..."

Xia Qingyao interrupted him: "I don't know this father-in-law's name."

"I...I Lin Quan." The little eunuch named Lin Quan was sweating more and more on his forehead.

"Lin Quan, I have something to trouble you. Go and tell Concubine Gao that I like the dishes she rewarded very much. I like the precious ingredients in the dishes even more. I just say, Xia Qingyao remembers Concubine Gao's good deeds. The future is long, so I will definitely ‘repay’ her well. Have you remembered it?"

Lin Quan knelt down with a plop: "Remember, remember."

"Get up quickly, why are you kneeling?" Xia Qingyao smiled and helped him, "After all, I'm not a beast, why are you doing so in a panic? Eunuch Lin Quan, hurry up and follow what I said."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Lin Quan was crying and was a slave. Crying nose was a taboo. He didn't dare to see it, but he only dared to wipe his face quickly and resisted the sob.

After the quiet outside returned to its original state, Murong Zheng came out of the inside and sat down where the light would not project his shadow on the window.

"You are brave. You don't bow your head under the eaves? Why, do you think your head is particularly hard, would you rather poke a hole in the roof of Prince Chen's Mansion?" Murong Zheng couldn't help but mock him as soon as he sat down.

Only the ridicule that blurted out could suppress the inexplicable excitement that arose in his heart.

"Isn't you there?" Xia Qingyao said for granted, lowering his head to pack up the medical box.

Murong Zheng suffocated his breath, looked at Xia Qingyao for a while, and silently moved the candlestick away from his hand.

He felt that the candlelight was too hot and a little bit roasted in his face, otherwise how could his face be so hot?

King Jing had already returned to the room of Concubine Qi in Dongyuan. As soon as he used the meal, Li Zi brought the food box in.

King Jing was stunned: "Dog slave, what are you doing?"

Little Lizi knelt on the ground and saluted, "Go back to the prince, it was the girl Xia from the living courtyard who asked me to send her to you."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she felt angry and couldn't help but curse Xia Qingyao for being cunning.

All of this has begun to show her gratitude, and she still says she is just a doctor?

"Tell me clearly." King Jing was a little self-aware, probably because he felt that Xia Qingyao could not deliver him a food box.

Even if it was really given away, it might have been poisoned.

Little Lizi said: "Miss Xia said that these four dishes are delicious in the world, especially the ingredients are rare, so Miss Xia is reluctant to move. I asked me to deliver them to you."

Prince Jing and Concubine Qi looked at each other and their faces became solemn.

“Is there a rare opportunity to see a spice?”

The two waved their hands to send Little Li Zi back down, and then opened the food box.

Seeing four home-cooked dishes inside, King Jing suddenly felt happy: "Come on, I will pass on the imperial physician."

"yes."

...

Xia Qingyao was drowsy with his arm leaning against Fang Ji, and his voice was a little lazy: "When will we leave?"

Murong Zheng said: "The Prince Jing's Mansion is strictly guarded, and we need to wait until the guards change their posts before leaving. However, you cooperate well today, and I think the Prince's Mansion will be even more chaotic tonight."

"Oh, if King Jing is not stupid, there must be a case in his inner house tonight, so we can take the opportunity to leave."

"What are you going to do with the poison of King Jing?" Murong Zheng suddenly asked.

Xia Qingyao closed his eyes, his voice drowsy and hoarse: "Of course I'm waiting for him to come and beg me, so where can I beg for a doctor to treat people?"

"Tsk," Murong Zheng smacked his tongue and suddenly smiled. Under the light, his smile was so beautiful, "He is really outstanding in medical ethics and kind-hearted."

"The prince is praised." Xia Qingyao didn't open his eyes and said perfunctoryly, not knowing that Murong Zheng was looking at her with a profound look.

Xia Qingyao was too tired and unconsciously relaxed his guard beside Murong Zheng and fell asleep with his arm on his pillow.

Suddenly, she felt her body sinking, as if she had fallen off a cliff, which scared her to open her eyes suddenly.

"ah……"

"Don't make a sound."

Only then did she realize that Murong Zheng was holding her and gently leaping on the roof.

The wind at night was a little bit cold, and Xia Qingyao was completely sleepy. He subconsciously grabbed Murong Zheng's arm and whispered in a serious state: "Be careful, you are still poisoned and you can't use your internal strength indiscriminately."

But Murong Zheng ignored it, took out an exquisite pot-like object from his arms and blew it hard twice.

The whistle that was like a bird's singing spreads to the distance like a wave.

In the blink of an eye, a fire appeared in the northwest corner of the palace. For a moment, the gongs of the palace were loudly heard, and someone shouted from afar: "It's gone! It's gone!"
