After crossing the mother's handbook

Chapter 200 Past Events in the Western Regions

Xia Houzhen frowned coldly, with a dignified and complicated expression on his face, with his hands behind his back.What came to my mind was the jewelry box I saw at Liangxinzhai in Fu's Mansion that day.

The totem on the jewelry box and the man in black complement each other, and finally combined without any accident.

At this moment, Fang Heng's eyes widened suddenly, and he slapped the fan on the table heavily. He approached him and said mysteriously, "Tell me, is it possible that what you drew is the lost totem of the Western Regions?"

"How do you say that?" Xia Houtian glanced at him, with a serious expression on his face.

Fang Heng waved his fan again, and said with a proud expression on his face: "As far as I know, in the second year after the signing of the contract between the Western Regions and our East Lu, there was civil strife in the Western Regions, and the general was dissatisfied with the rule of the king of the Western Regions. , Capture the king of the Western Regions alive.

In order to prevent the royal totem from falling into the hands of thieves, the king of the Western Regions bumped his head on the head of the totem, knocking off the top part abruptly, dripping with blood.The Western Regions believe in divine religion. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the newly appointed King of the Western Regions asked the painter to draw up a new sketch. "

"According to what you say, it's the former royal family of the Western Regions, so it shouldn't be. After all, we Donglu have benefited them, so we don't want to repay them?" Xia Houzhen always felt that it was wrong, he frowned, Preoccupied.

Fang Heng looked a little helpless, put away the fan in his hand, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not impossible.So he let out a long sigh, and said: "Anyway, report this matter to the imperial court."

This point, Xiahou Ting very much agrees.He looked up at the sky, cleaned up the desk, and said calmly: "It's getting late, let's go to the palace now."

Fang Heng nodded solemnly, and the two walked together.

Purple Luan Pavilion

After drinking the soup, Fu Yunzhi lay on the bed with a bitter face: "Zhuqing, go find a candied fruit."

"Ma'am, the good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease! You just took the medicine, so maybe it's wrong to eat the sweet one?" Zhu Qing was troubled.

The expression on Fu Yunzhi's face became even more helpless. He stretched out his uninjured hand and grabbed her sleeve, acting coquettishly: "Hurry up, I'll just eat a piece. And I promise, as long as there is no bitter taste in your mouth , just spit it out immediately, do you think this is okay?"

Zhuqing looked at her with a troubled face: "Ma'am, don't embarrass me. Your lord has specifically ordered you not to eat candied fruit."

Fu Yunzhi twitched his mouth, his face showed sadness, and his voice sounded more like accusations: "Then you are willing to see me so bitterly? Zhuqing, I am still not your girl ?”

Zhuqing: "...This slave really can't be the master, it doesn't matter if you are the slave's master or not, right?"

Fu Yunzhi looked at her aggrievedly, accusing silently.

Zhu Qing was very uncomfortable, she subconsciously pulled back the corner of her clothes, and tried to run outside.

At this time, two small figures ran in outside the door, the big one seemed to be holding a plate in his hand.

Fu Yunzhi took a closer look, and it turned out to be the candied fruit she was thinking about now, her eyes lit up immediately, as if her taste buds had been liberated.

Zhuqing stood aside, her round eyes widened.

"Mother, look at what my brother and I brought you." Xiahou Huaijin ran to the bed, finished speaking as if asking for credit, turned around and took the plate in Xiahou Huaiyu's hand, and handed it over as if offering a treasure.

Zhuqing yelled when she saw it, and hurried forward and said: "No, no, Miss Jin, madam can't eat this."

Xiahou Huaiyu hurriedly stopped her, her red face was full of doubts: "Why, why can't I eat it? Every time my sister and I drink medicine, my grandmother will put a candied fruit in my mouth."

"That's because..." Zhu Qing was about to speak, but saw that little girl Huaijin had already fed a piece into it.Immediately, the second half of her words were swallowed back into her stomach.

Xiahou Huaijin gave a small smile, ran over on short legs, raised an innocent pretty face, and said seriously: "Sister Zhuqing, daddy isn't here anyway, so he won't notice if he takes a bite."

Zhuqing looked puzzled, frowned and lowered her head.

Xiahou Huaijin wanted to go forward to comfort her a few times, but suddenly heard the sound of walking outside the door, looked subconsciously, and saw her old father's handsome face looking at her with a half-smile.

"I just walked to the gate of the courtyard, and I heard someone calling, so I quickened my pace, I don't know who was talking about me just now!" Xia Houtian walked in with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiahou Huaiyu, brother and sister couldn't help gasping, Xiahou Huaijin even ran to the bed on short legs, and stuffed the plate with candied fruit into the quilt in a hurry.

A wry smile appeared on Fu Yunzhi's face, expressing his disapproval of her girl's behavior.

After covering the quilt, Xia Houzhen's voice came again: "What are you hiding here?"

Xia Hou Huaijin turned around in a hurry, with a smile on her innocent face, she said anxiously: "No, no." After saying that, she pressed the quilt with her hand guiltily.

Fu Yunzhi: "..."

This time, there is no silver 300 taels in this place, it is simply a guilty conscience!

Xia Houzhen still had a smile on her face, she glanced at the siblings angrily, and said calmly: "Take it out, I heard it when I entered the door just now.

It's just a candied fruit, there's no need to hide it.As long as you don't eat too much, I, as a father, will naturally not treat you harshly.

What's more, don't give it to your mother. "As soon as the subject changed, his tone became serious.

When Fu Yunzhi heard this, he was so frightened that he swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth.Because it was too big, it got stuck directly in the throat.

A violent cough sounded, and Fu Yunzhi's face became red from choking.

This sudden change made all the eyes of the people present focus on her, and they no longer cared about any candied fruit.

"Yunzhi, what's the matter with you?" Xia Houzhen's eyes were full of worry.

Fu Yunzhi opened her mouth, intending to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she coughed uncontrollably again.

Seeing such a side, Xia Houzhen became completely flustered, like ants on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

Zhuqing and the two children also watched with worried faces.

"Water, give me a sip of water." Fu Yunzhi finally managed to say a few words.

Hearing this, Zhuqing immediately turned around to fetch it.When she took it in a hurry and was about to run to the bed, Xia Houzhen snatched the water glass from her hand, helped the person on the bed up, and handed it to her mouth: "Drink slowly."

Fu Yunzhi felt so uncomfortable being stuck in the throat by the plum. Seeing the water cup being handed over, he eagerly took it and drank it down.

The impact of the water made the candied fruit slide down gradually.After the uncomfortable feeling disappeared, she slowly said: "Hey, I almost choked to death."

"What happened to you just now, you almost frightened us." Xia Houtian's voice of reproach sounded.

With a guilty conscience, Fu Yunzhi lowered her head, and said weakly, "I accidentally choked on my saliva." After saying that, she couldn't stop crying and laughing at the excuse she made.

Unexpectedly, the man next to him sighed heavily, and said in a helpless voice: "If you also want to eat candied fruit, when you recover from your injuries, my husband will take you to Tianjinglou to eat, where there are many candied fruit cakes. "

The clear eyes blinked and blinked, Fu Yunzhi looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded firmly.

Xiahou Ting raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, turned around and looked at her little daughter, but when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a pleasant voice:

"Jin'er suddenly remembered that she hadn't done the homework ordered by Nanny, so she didn't want to disturb the time when Dad and Mother were alone, Jin'er took leave."

After Xiahou Huaijin finished speaking hastily, she took out the candied fruit from under the bed, and ran out in a hurry without waiting for her father to speak.

As for Xiahou Huaiyu, watching his younger sister slip away, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The boy also suddenly remembered that he didn't do his homework. Now that Daddy has come back, mother won't be so lonely. Yu'er also resigned!" After saying these words, he also ran out in a hurry.

"Hey..." Xia Houzhen stretched out her hand and wanted to call the two children back, but suddenly remembered that there were other things. After thinking about it, she withdrew her hand again, with a helpless expression on her face.

Then, he turned around and looked at the person on the bed, and said calmly: "These two children run really fast. Originally, I planned to let the two of them follow.

Now it seems that the two of them don't really want to go. "Xia Houzhen shook her head, with a helpless look on her face.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little warm, Zhuqing who was at the side hurriedly withdrew with an empty cup in order not to obstruct the atmosphere.

"Heh..." Xia Houtian looked at the empty room and smiled helplessly.Immediately, he took out another piece of paper from his sleeve, and said:

"I'll show you something." After saying that, he spread it out and put it in front of Fu Yunzhi, "Do you have any impression?"

Fu Yunzhi glanced at it lightly, his face was startled, and he picked it up emotionally: "Where did you get it, the one above you is just like the ones who kidnapped me a few times. of.

However, what they wear on their clothes is not a python, but something that looks like a dragon and a snake.

But you, I saw it on my mother's jewelry box last time. "

"Are you sure?" Due to the urgency of the matter, Xia Houzhen had to ask one more question, and after a pause, he continued: "This is the totem of the royal family of the Western Regions.

As for the mother-in-law's jewelry box, I also felt very strange at the time, but there were other things at the time, so I didn't ask much. "

Fu Yunzhi frowned slightly: "Since it is the royal family of the Western Regions, why did they kidnap me?"

Xia Houzhen glanced at her meaningfully, and said indifferently: "I can't say anything about this either.

However, if I'm not mistaken, yesterday's assassination was probably aimed at you.

As for the Zheng family, I'm afraid it's your scapegoat. "As soon as the subject changed, the expression on his face became serious.

"How do you say that?" Fu Yunzhi was also puzzled in his heart.

A sharp look flashed across Xia Houzhen's face, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Because the jade pendant of the girl from the Zheng family dropped by our carriage. Besides, she was wearing a dress that was very similar in color and style to yours that day. clothing."

Fu Yunzhi was completely flustered, and she lowered her head with a heavy heart: "Then why did they arrest me?"

"Well, I'm afraid we can only find out after we find the girl from Zheng's family and interrogate him." Xia Houzhen also had a serious expression on his face.
