A spoiled pet, the prime minister asks to divorce his wife

Chapter 77 Illness
Open your eyes and see the darkness of the void until dawn.

Gu Qingzhi didn't sleep well at night, and woke up in horror several times talking in her sleep, grabbing her hands in random places, waiting for a hand to gently hold her hand, comforting her softly, and then He fell asleep deeply.

When the rooster crowed at five o'clock, the housekeeper Wang Renyi knocked on the door.

Bai Xiuran looked at the sleeping man with his eye sockets in his arms, and suddenly understood the meaning of a sentence in the book, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, and since then the king does not go to court early."

Wang Renyi stood at the door for a long time, but there was still no movement inside the house.

He raised his hand again and again, should he knock again?
This is the first time in the young master's life that he has been so dawdling, but it is understandable that what happened yesterday, the young master directly carried the new wife to Lan Yuan, and even blocked the servants from washing, no one believed it when it spread.

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the house, and the door opened from inside the house.

Bai Xiuran didn't speak, but just motioned him to leave together without making any noise.

Wang Renyi was even more surprised, but he had been a housekeeper for so many years, even if there was anything, it would not show up.

Morning up.

Still as usual, civil and military officials quarreled over another issue.

Zhao Hongwen didn't watch the performance of this group of ministers at all. Since his father allowed him to enter the court to discuss matters, this group of people has been arguing for a small amount of time every three days, and a big quarrel for five days. Fight with sleeves.

His father is also very powerful, even after this, he can still look down as normal.

But once his father opened his mouth, no matter how noisy the officials were, they immediately quieted down, and the civil and military ministers could cooperate in an instant.

In vain, he practiced the way of the king since elementary school, compared with his father, he is really far behind.

But today he was a little curious about Bai Xiuran.

Although his face was still as rigid as usual, he didn't speak a word.

But why does he feel that Prime Minister Bai is a little distracted today?
His eyes were fixed on a certain place without any focus. He had really discovered a new continent. What could distract the famous Prime Minister Bai?

After waiting for the next court, Zhao Hongwen followed Bai Xiu and came out, arming the person in front: "Hey, why are you in a daze?"

Bai Xiuran: "The servant who picked up Gu Qingzhi last night died?"

"what?"

Now Zhao Hongwen was taken aback, and hurried forward to ask what happened.

Bai Xiuran just talked for a while, but he didn't mention anything about Gu Qingzhi afterwards.

Zhao Hongwen frowned. Since he and Bai Xiuran started to investigate the slave smuggling case, people died or were assassinated one after another. Who is so bold as to openly ignore them.

"Xiu Ran, follow me to General Xiao's house."

Xiao Yidong had just returned to Xiangling, so he would not offend anyone logically, but this time he was attacked by someone, and he always felt that it was related to the case he was investigating.

Bai Xiuran: "I'll go home first."

"what?"

Zhao Hongwen suspected that he had heard it wrong, and seeing Bai Xiuran's leaving back, he really wanted to stop and ask.

No, very suspicious.

Zhao Hongwen decided to follow the past secretly to find out.

If he saw Bai Xiuran hiding a charm outside the mansion, he would have the capital to laugh at him in the future.

In case he is the only one being bullied by Bai Xiuran.

……

"Did you get up?"

Bai Xiuran hurried back to the mansion and asked the people below.

"The new madam seems to have caught the cold. The housekeeper wanted to invite a doctor, but the new madam refused. She lost her temper a lot, and..." The servant secretly glanced at his young master. Do you want to tell the young master that the new madam is the favorite in his room? A set of teapots smashed?

Bai Xiuran didn't wait for him to speak at all, and strode away.

Gu Qingzhi's face was flushed with heat, the bloodshot eyes were clearly visible, and his face was full of displeasure, "No one is allowed to call a doctor for me."

The butler stood aside and asked people to quickly clean up the debris in the house. He didn't understand why the doctor was not allowed, but he was in a dilemma for a while looking at Gu Qingzhi's hysterical appearance.

If the young master came back and knew that the new wife was ill and didn't even call for a doctor, he would inevitably be reprimanded.

"Let it go."

Bai Xiuran stood at the door and called, without looking at the debris on the ground, walked over alone and held her hand.

The temperature in the palm of his hand was frighteningly high, obviously he wasn't so hot when he went out.

Gu Qingzhi looked at him, instantly relaxed his body, and said to him in a hoarse voice, "Don't ask for a doctor."

The best doctor in Xiangling City is in Banshitang. If you invite a doctor, Doctor Qiao will definitely ask her what happened, and her father will come to ask when the time comes.

What happened last night was the last thing she wanted to think about.

But she is not a loser, they take care of the motto of the family, they can eat anything, but they can't suffer.

She must ask for it herself.

Bai Xiuran also understood what she was thinking, so he didn't force her. He turned around and ordered his servants to grab some medicine for wind and cold, and also medicine for calming the mind and tranquility.

In fact, he should have asked his servants to boil a bowl of ginger soup for Gu Qingzhi last night. The so-called caring is messy, he forgot.

Seeing that his expression was wrong yesterday, the people below probably didn't dare to make their own claims.

Bai Xiuran waited for Gu Qingzhi to drink the medicine and fall asleep again before leaving.

……

Inside Xiao Mansion.

Zhao Hongwen walked around Bai Xiuran with a gossiping face.

Bai Xiuran: "Did you take your medicine this morning?"

Zhao Hongwen had experienced Bai Xiuran's poisonous tongue before, and he didn't take it seriously, "I'm not sick, but I know someone should take medicine."

Bai Xiuran gave him a sideways look: "I didn't expect the First Prince to have such a hobby."

He had known for a long time that the eldest prince Zhao Hongwen returned to the mansion with him, and he didn't go through the main entrance and overturned the fence.

Zhao Hongwen closed the fan in his hand and looked at the sky with his eyes. An imposing eldest prince is like others climbing over the wall. If this word gets out, he will lose face.

However, it was worth seeing Bai Xiuran's gossip.

I really didn't expect that the Prime Minister, who has always been ascetic, would show such gentle eyes on a woman.

This is clearly the look in a man's eyes when he sees a woman he likes.

Bai Xiuran: "Eldest Prince, restrain yourself."

Zhao Hongwen was inexplicable: "What am I restraining?" He has nothing to restrain.

Bai Xiuran: "I don't like masculinity."

After finishing speaking, leaving behind someone with a Spartan face, did Bai Xiuran turn the corner to hurt him, was the look in his eyes too hot?
Xiao Yidong was being forced to drink medicine when he heard the eldest prince looking for him.

Turning his eyes, he said that he couldn't keep the eldest prince waiting for a long time, he went to see him and then came back to drink the medicine.

No matter who Madam Xiao was, she clapped her hands, and the servants immediately understood and closed the door.

"mother."

Xiao Yidong was depressed, does his mother know how bitter this medicine is?
It is comparable to Coptis chinensis, and it is still an increased amount of Coptis chinensis.

As a big man, he drank it once and wanted to cry.

Mrs. Xiao patted his head kindly, "Good boy."

There is no room for negotiation on the matter of taking medicine. Dr. Qiao can say that if he wants to avoid sequelae in the future, he must take medicine on time every day until heals up.

Xiao Yidong had a bitter face, making the last struggle: "Can I stop drinking?"

"Did you say so?" Mrs. Xiao's tone was calm, but the movements of her hands were a little heavy. Hmph, let's try without giving her medicine.

Xiao Mansion, as long as Mrs. Xiao speaks, it must be completed.

Otherwise it will be repaired miserably.

This is an undeniable fact, so the Xiao family, including Mrs. Xiao, generally don't provoke her daughter-in-law.

As Mrs. Xiao's son, Xiao Yidong understands this truth even more.

Only the one who accepted his fate took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

This taste, the bitter soul is almost out of the body.

Seeing that the bottom of the bowl was dry, Mrs. Xiao let him go with satisfaction.

"Little General Xiao seems to have a bad complexion. Would you like me to ask the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose you?"

As soon as Xiao Yidong entered the hall, Zhao Hongwen saw his pale face and cold sweat on his forehead.

Need not.Xiao Yidong shook his hand, quickly poured himself a glass of water, and poured it into his mouth.

Bai Xiuran: "Little General Xiao, try this."

A gray cloth bag was handed to him.

Xiao Yidong took the bag suspiciously, opened it, and saw that the thumb-sized golden snacks looked good, and put two in his mouth. They were sweet and sweet, just neutralizing the bitter taste in his mouth.

Xiao Yidong's eyes lit up, and he didn't bother with the two of them, he ate half a bag before recovering.

"I'll try it too." Zhao Hongwen went over and tasted a few of them. They were sweet but not greasy, and had a good taste.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't think too much about it, but this thing is actually Bai Xiuran's, so he has to think about it, the famous Prime Minister Bai actually has food that women like on him.

Bai Xiuran didn't explain, when he entered the door from Xiao Yidong, he saw the brown medicinal juice remaining at the corner of Xiao Yidong's mouth, and looked at his drinking action, it was obvious that he just drank the medicine, or it was still a bitter medicine.

The bag on his body belonged to Chenxuan. He patronized Gu Qingzhi last night, but his son didn't go there.

After Xia Chao came back, he let Gu Qingzhi drink the medicine first, then went to look at Chenxuan, before leaving, the white puppy raised by Chenxuan had a gray cloth bag in its mouth, as if trying to open it.

He knew Budai, Gu Qingzhi had someone give Chenxuan a small bag containing snacks, and he had also eaten the contents of the bag.

Thinking about it, the servant put the bag on the stool, and the puppy saw it and bit it off.

"Little General Xiao, I don't know what happened on the day you were plotted against?" Bai Xiuran waited for Xiao Yidong to return the bag to him before asking unhurriedly.

Xiao Yidong didn't hide anything, and dragged out the whole matter.

He was arranged by his mother to meet a woman that day, which is strange to say, he was not bad in appearance, and his family background was not bad.

After he separated from the woman, he was going to drink in Zuixianlou.

When passing through the alley, I saw a suspicious person and chased after him.

Thinking of him hunting eagles all day long, he never thought that one day he would carelessly miss Jingzhou, be pecked at the eyes by eagles, and almost lose his life.

The visitor was obviously trying to lure him into a trap, and then lead him out of the city and assassinate him with a hidden weapon. Fortunately, his martial arts are not weak, but his neck was scratched by the hidden weapon.

It's just that he didn't expect that this person would be so vicious, he even touched poison on the hidden weapon, and he can think of the following things without asking.

The poison was so weird that he couldn't use any strength. He was hacked several times, if he hadn't jumped into the water, he would have died. Of course, if Gu Qingzhi hadn't rescued him in time, he would have died. Already dead.

"Then do you know this person?" Zhao Hongwen asked.

"I don't know." He just returned to Xiangling, logically speaking, he didn't offend anyone.

Bai Xiuran: "Then have you seen that person's face?" He is good at painting, if Xiao Yidong sees the other person's face, he can roughly draw it according to the description, and then it will be easier to investigate the case.

"That man has changed his face." When he was fighting, he touched the opponent's face with his hand, and it was obvious that the skin on the neck was raised.

A disguised killer?
Bai Xiuran suddenly thought of the killer who wanted to commit crimes against Gu Qingzhi last night, and that person was masked.

Is there any connection between these people?
