Chapter 48
"My lady, drink it well." Chu Xuanyu took the mung bean soup, gulped down a big gulp, and sighed contentedly, showing a smiling face from the porcelain bowl.

"Hehe, as long as you like it. Why did the prince come here?"

"My lady, can you play peek-a-boo with me?"

"It's sunny outside, I'm afraid you'll be too hot." Mu Xinran glanced at Madam Xu who was standing awkwardly aside, seeing her relaxed because of her veto, a sneer flashed in the corner of her eyes, and continued, "However, We can play something fun without breaking a sweat."

Mother Xu's face froze, and she reminded in a low voice: "Princess, you haven't learned the etiquette today."

"The lady is mine, she wants to play games with me." Chu Xuanyu opened her eyes, stood in front of Mu Xinran, and stared at Xu Momo vigilantly.

"My lord..."

"Nurse Xu, you go down first. No one has fun with the prince on weekdays. The palace has been busy with the affairs of the palace these two days and ignored him. It's rare that the prince wants to play with the palace. How can I refuse?"

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. Is Madam Xu worried that I won't be able to learn the etiquette? You don't have to worry about that. Even if I haven't learned it well, it's because I'm not smart enough. If the emperor blames me, I will do my best." Just take it on.”

"Then the concubine will have fun with the prince, and I will learn from the old slave tomorrow." Madam Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Oh, talking to the ancients is really tiring work." After Madam Xu left, she sent Qing'er away, and Mu Xinran sat lazily on the stone bench on the shaded side of the gazebo, with her back on her back. Leaning lightly on the smooth stone pillar.

If it weren't for the fact that she read some ancient books and watched some TV shows when she was studying medicine from the old master in her previous life, she really couldn't deal with these ancient people. Boredom and burnout.

"My lady, what kind of ancient man? Didn't you just talk to the old monster?" Chu Xuanyu followed suit, leaning against another stone pillar, with curious starlight shining in his eyes.

"It's nothing." Mu Xinran glanced at Chu Xuanyu, and thought to herself that you are an ancient person, could it be possible to ask her to tell the truth?

"Miss."

"Ok?"

"Miss."

"Ah."

"Miss."

"If you have anything to say, don't you think it's annoying if you keep screaming, lady?"

"I just want to call you a lady." Chu Xuanyu curled her lips and argued aggrievedly.

"Oh, why do you want to call me a lady?"

Mu Xinran squinted her eyes slightly to look at the foolish man. A beam of sunlight fell on his dark hair, reflecting a faint golden light. The skin exposed to the sun looked crystal clear, and the long eyelashes fluttered slightly like a golden butterfly. Then, there was an inexplicable temptation in the ignorant black pupils.

If he doesn't speak, this is a man who can captivate the hearts of thousands of women.

"My lady? My lady? Why don't you talk? Are you angry with me?" Chu Xuanyu waved her hand in front of her, seeing that Mu Xinran looked at him and didn't answer, she hurriedly begged, "If my lady doesn't like me, I will call you my lady, I just don't call, don't leave me like a mother concubine."

"My lord, do you remember the past?" This is the second time Mu Xinran heard the word "mother concubine" from Chu Xuanyu's mouth. Presumably he is very attached to his mother, the woman who hanged herself because of a sin, It is worth it to be able to make your son never forget.

"What happened in the past? What happened in the past?" Chu Xuanyu chanted in a low voice, suddenly a sharp pain in her head, she screamed, and passed out clutching her headache.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Xinran was startled, she jumped up to support the man who almost fell out of the gazebo, seeing him pale and sweating like that day in the palace, she knew that her words touched him Forbidden places in his consciousness, triggering pain in his head.

Slender fingers gently pressed his temples to ease his pain.

It stands to reason that a fool who has been stupid for ten years and still has toxins in his body should not touch the taboo just because of a single sentence, how could he suddenly faint from pain?
That thought popped up in my mind again.

Now just a word will make him respond, does it mean that if she treats him, the possibility of recovery is very high?

Despite having the urge, Mu Xinran never thought of doing anything during this time.She doesn't know how he will treat her if he is really cured. She rescued the snake but was bitten by a snake. She, Mu Xinran, would not do such stupid things out of kindness. If she really wanted to help him, she would have to wait for her strength to improve Go up, the power is built.When the time comes to leave Prince Rui's mansion, let him take a look at it by the way, it can be regarded as a farewell ceremony between her and his husband and wife.

After placing Chu Xuanyu in the room and letting Du Ruhai wait on her, Mu Xinran changed into a set of light clothes and quietly slipped out of a locked courtyard.

Today, I accidentally heard a servant in the mansion mention this sealed courtyard. I heard that this is a forbidden area of ​​the palace. The gate of the courtyard has been locked, and only Chu Xuanyu can enter. It has never been opened, and there were rumors of ghosts inside for a while, so no one dared to approach here.

Ten years later, it was completely desolate.There was a thick layer of dust on the plaque of the courtyard gate, and the word "Orchid Garden" could be seen faintly. The door was woven with spider webs, and a fist-sized copper lock was rusty, and the keyhole had been glued together completely. It can't be opened even with the key.

However, Mu Xinran didn't intend to go in through the door. She didn't want to be known by others, so it's better to go over the wall.

Run up, touch the ground, jump, kick off the wall, hook the top of the wall, then swing your arms, lift your light body up, sit on the top of the wall, look at this mysterious courtyard, your breath stops suddenly, and your eyes flash with surprise. color.

Big and big magnolias are blooming one after another, and the clusters of flowers are like a white ocean, mixed with the fragrance of magnolia flowers, rushing towards us, as if they want to integrate people into it.

"Look, is there someone there?" An exclamation came from a distance, and Mu Xinran jumped to the ground before she had time to think about it.

"Where is someone? Are you reading it wrong?" A servant girl asked suspiciously.

As the voices of the two became louder and their footsteps became clearer and clearer, it seemed that the two were walking this way.

"But I clearly saw a white shadow here just now, it's on the top of the wall." The maidservant who spoke first, with a slightly shrill voice, argued.

"No, it can't be haunted, right? Where is the white shadow here?"

"Ah? No way? Sister Hongxiu, don't scare me."

"I don't know you're new here." The maidservant with a soft voice deliberately lowered her voice, and explained in a low voice, "This is the forbidden area of ​​the palace. I heard that it was haunted by ghosts. Maybe you really saw a ghost just now."

"What? There is such a thing? Then let's go, sister Hongxiu, don't talk about what happened today, or people will think that I have a problem with my eyes and can see ghosts in the daytime."
