There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 783 The slave family has something to ask for

"Don't talk nonsense, she is a distinguished concubine of Shu Palace, how could she want to be picked up by me?" Su Xian retorted.

Chen Keyan smiled and said:
"The slave family did not force her. That day, the slave family entered the Shu Palace and saw Concubine Zhang. They only gave her the secret medicine and explained its effects. She could decide whether to take it or not."

"Young Master must have known what the result was. Pfft... Zhang Guifei took the secret medicine after all. It can be seen that she does pretend to be Young Master in her heart."

"..."

Su Xian's heart moved. Zhang Meiniang's move really surprised him. What was the purpose of her taking medicine?Avoid Emperor Shu?Or protect yourself for him?

Su Xian was thinking about it and then lost his mind. The scenes of that night appeared in front of his eyes, Zhang Meiniang's stunning appearance, Zhang Meiniang's gentle cry...

Could it be that she is really interested in me?Otherwise, what would you do if you swallowed that medicine... Su Xian was thinking wildly, the pores all over his body were dilated, and his mind was wandering.

Needless to say Zhang Meiniang's beauty, before meeting Su Xian, she was indeed a virgin, that is to say, she deserves the title of "Four Beauties in the World"!
Such a beauty was taken over by him by accident!
The key point is that Zhang Meiniang also swallowed the secret medicine to protect him.

The joy in Su Xian's heart was beyond words, and his vague love for Zhang Meiniang deepened instantly...

"Master? Master?"

Suddenly, Chen Keyan's call came to my ears.

Su Xian came back to his senses, put away the smirk from the corner of his mouth, looked at Chen Keyan and asked:
"You traveled all the way to the Kingdom of Shu, and now you've come to the capital of God. The New Year's Eve is approaching. Are you just here to tell me this news?"

The smile on Chen Keyan's face also faded, she bit her lower lip tightly, and instantly turned into a sad and melancholy look, she was about to cry and looked pitiful.

Su Xianzhen couldn't stand her and said hurriedly: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't worry about it."

Chen Keyan was full of resentment and said:
"Young Master is about to get married and marry a girl from the Tang family. It seems like something is blocking the Nu family's heart... Young Master, you are so hateful, do you want to abandon the Nu family?"

Moreover, she was very dishonest when she spoke, [Delete 6 words here]...

Su Xian was still "indifferent", and his ears hurt when he heard her "whispers of resentment", and said: "You must have other motives, tell me quickly, or I will leave!"

Even so, he did not push away Fairy Chen.

Chen Keyan didn't know whether she was really panicked or pretending, [Delete 9 words here], and said: "Young Master, please don't leave. I have traveled thousands of miles to come to see you. In fact, I have something to ask for."

"Go ahead, don't forget the cooperation between us. If I help you, it will be treated as an investment." Su Xian said sternly.

Although Chen Keyan didn't understand what "investment" meant, she could make some guesses based on the context. She didn't dwell on it and said directly:
"I recently discovered that my father is suffering from hemoptysis, and he has been hiding it from us... I want to invite you to Nanchen to treat my father."

Su Xian laughed on the spot and said:
"Are you confused? I'm just a helpless scholar, and I'm not a doctor. How can I help Emperor Chen treat a doctor? I see you, you are trying to trick me into going to Nanchen!"

Chen Keyan looked a little anxious:
"I can swear to God that this time it was really not to deceive the young master into going to Nanchen... That day I saw my father coughing up blood. He coughed so hard that he couldn't stop breathing and it was difficult to breathe..."

As she spoke, her eye circles began to turn red.

Is she... crying?
Su Xian observed carefully and found that it didn't look like a disguise. Furthermore, Emperor Chen was related to the situation in Nanchen. She couldn't make fun of it, so she asked solemnly:
"Did Chen Di really cough up blood?"

"It's true! The slave family saw it with their own eyes. By the way, the young master must not speak out, otherwise the situation in Nanchen will collapse in an instant." Chen Keyan said with red eyes.

"This is a bit troublesome." Su Xian frowned.

He knew in his heart that King Li had the upper hand in the situation before Nan Chen. After he secretly helped Chen Keyan, the situation slowly began to tilt.

However, Chen Keyan has not yet completely taken control of the situation. If Emperor Chen dies at this time, it is unlikely that she will ascend to the throne. Even if she barely wins, it will be a miserable victory, full of unknowns and dangers.

"That's why I traveled thousands of miles to the capital of God in person and asked the young master to go to Nanchen to diagnose his father's illness!" Chen Keyan begged.

"This……"

Su Xian suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Li Qingniu is known as a genius doctor, and he should be able to diagnose and treat Chen Di's hemoptysis. Even if he can't be cured, at least he can delay it for some time.

However, he has already "squeezed" a lot of Li Qingniu's wool by virtue of "nine branches of nectar", and there is still a queen waiting for him to treat it.

If there is another Emperor Chen, Li Qingniu might go on strike.

Seeing Su Xian's hesitation, Chen Keyan immediately felt certain that she had come to the right place, Su Xian really had a solution!
If Su Xian really had no choice, he should have refused!
Chen Keyan's bright eyes moved slightly, and the plan came to her mind. She gently grabbed Su Xian's hand with both hands, pulled it, and said [Delete 31 words here]:

"Young Master, do you still remember our experience in Shu one month ago? In fact, at that time, the Nu family had some speculation that Young Master went to Shu just to find the legendary Butterfly Valley miraculous doctor Li Qingniu!"

"Nvxia Yang has recovered, which means that Divine Doctor Li has been found... Young Master, I can't just watch my father's condition worsen until..."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the slave family will never give up!"

"..."

As she spoke, Chen Keyan stood on tiptoes and leaned forward, [Delete 31 words here]

Su Xian looked calm, recalling the charming fragrance, but shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do about Emperor Chen's coughing up blood."

Chen Keyan did not give up or expose the loopholes in Su Xian's words. Instead, she gradually fell into memories and said slowly:
"I remember one year, when I was only a few years old, it was a thunderstorm night and I was seriously ill. The doctors in the palace shook their heads and asked my father to prepare my funeral."

"I was in a half-comatose and half-awake state at that time, and I could only hear my father's mourning and crying. I wanted to say something, but I still couldn't speak."

"Then, someone told my father that there was a doctor in the city who was very knowledgeable in treating children's diseases. My father was immediately overjoyed, and regardless of the obstruction of the imperial doctor and ministers, he personally sent me out of the palace for diagnosis and treatment despite the thunder and rain."

"My father was so anxious that he forgot to 'drive out the carriage' and carried me straight to the palace gate in the rain. In order to prevent me from getting soaked by the rain, my father took off his dragon robe and wrapped me..."

"I am also very lucky, and I miraculously improved under that doctor's diagnosis and treatment."

"Now, my father is old and suffering from coughing up blood. He has been hiding this matter for the sake of the stability of the court..."

"Master, as a daughter, I cannot just watch my father's condition worsen. I want to save him, no matter how difficult it is!"

"..."

After hearing this story, Su Xian was deeply moved.

He was wrong.

Just now he only considered "the impact of Chen Di's life and death on the situation in Nanchen", but he ignored the father-daughter relationship between Chen Keyan and Chen Di!

He didn't expect that the relationship between their father and daughter would be so deep...

After thinking for a moment, Su Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and finally nodded in agreement.

Compared to "the impact of Emperor Chen's death on the situation in Nanchen" and Chen Keyan's filial piety, Su Xian's shameless request for Li Qingniu to take action is actually nothing.

Anyway, he has more than three hundred altars and nine branches of nectar, if he smashes a few more altars, I believe he should be able to invite Li Qingniu!

"Thank you, Young Master, thank you very much, Young Master. I know that the Young Master will definitely agree!" Chen Keyan was immediately overjoyed, her smile was sweet and sincere, dazzling and beyond beautiful.

"What? You were sure of me from the beginning?" Su Xian looked sideways, he didn't like to hear this.

"Young Master, please don't be angry. The slave family has come all the way to deliver it to your door. Young master, you can also... stay at the slave family!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Keyan took the initiative to move forward, [Delete 500 words here]

After a long time, Su Xian left the restaurant and returned home.

Although he promised Chen Keyan to take time to go to Nanchen, it could only be after the New Year's Eve festival. During this period, Su Xian ordered Chen Keyan not to show his face to avoid arousing suspicion from others.

Especially Princess Lanling, if she knew that Chen Keyan was in the capital city, she would go crazy in an instant and enter the state of "shrew".

……

The 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

There were still two days before the wedding day. On this day, Tang Ju finally returned to the capital. Su Xian went out of the city ten miles to greet him. The two sons-in-law had a very happy conversation.

The 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Tomorrow is the day to marry Tang Shuwan. The Hou Mansion has made all preparations and everyone is filled with joy, just waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow.

Liu Huixiang, as Su Xian's common wife, naturally cannot attend tomorrow's wedding ceremony.

Since dawn today, she has been staying in her yard without taking a step.

The courtyard she lives in is not the main courtyard in the inner house. When she moved into the Hou's Mansion earlier, she deliberately avoided it and chose a favorite side courtyard next to the main courtyard.

Su Xian treated her well and thought that the side courtyard was too small, so he demolished a wall and opened up another side courtyard. Together they were very large, only smaller than the main courtyard.

During this period of time, Su Xian has also been living in Liu Huixiang's courtyard.

But after today, Su Xian will no longer be able to accompany her every night...

Liu Huixiang did not feel sad or regretful, only a little bit sad. After all, the pairing of Su Xian and Tang Shuwan was brought together by her efforts.

This is also the best choice.

Throughout the day today, Liu Huixiang had been standing in front of the window in the living room, looking at the slightly deserted side courtyard, listening to the enthusiastic voices outside the courtyard, and she did not move for a long time.

Zhang Cuihua suddenly appeared behind her and whispered: "Miss, it's better to go back to the room and rest. My uncle is busy trying on dresses today, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come to see the lady."

Liu Huixiang's face finally moved slightly, and she replied after a long time:

"I usually serve my husband to change his clothes. I don't know if those girls understand, so don't make your husband angry with your clumsiness."

"Eh!"

Zhang Cuihua shook her head and turned to go about her own business.

Before you know it, it gets dark and the time comes to night.

Accompanied by Zhang Cuihua, Liu Huixiang had dinner, then took a bath silently, preparing to rest.

In the living room, she was not sleepy at all. She raised her eyes and looked at the whole room, recalling every detail of Su Xian's time here. The candle on the candlestick suddenly shed a string of candle tears.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Cuihua's voice came: "Is the lady still asleep? Can I come in, please?"

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Liu Huixiang adjusted her attitude and pretended to sit in front of the dressing table to remove her makeup.

"Miss, I just went out to investigate. My uncle left the house with his troops and has not returned yet. I think there is something unexpected in the Yamen." Zhang Cuihua said after entering the house.

"Thank you, husband." Liu Huixiang looked calm, straightened her back, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and gracefully pulled out a hairpin.

"So, miss, my uncle won't be coming tonight. Miss, it's better to go to bed early. Don't be exhausted." Zhang Cuihua said again.

Liu Huixiang held up her slender hand with orchid-fingered fingers. She put down the hairpin and didn't move again. She only looked at herself in the bronze mirror and didn't say anything.

Zhang Cuihua came closer, stood beside Liu Huixiang, and said: "If the young lady feels sad and wants to cry, she can throw herself into my slave's arms..."

"Cuihua, you must be tired after being busy these days. Go back and rest early. Don't worry about me." Liu Huixiang looked dull.

"But Miss..."

"It's late at night, you should go back to your room and rest."

Liu Huixiang stood up and gently pushed Zhang Cuihua out of the room. After the door was closed again, she leaned against the door and a string of hot tears finally fell from the corners of her eyes.

After all, she is a woman, although she is also sensible, but she is still emotional.

After turning off the lights, she put on her clothes and lay down on the pillow. Unknowingly, the pillow was wet with tears...

She knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it actually came, she realized her vulnerability.

Su Xian didn't even come to accompany her for a while, always giving people a feeling of "forgetting the old when you have a newcomer". In addition, there is a little jealousy in her character. Under the influence of various factors, her tears seemed to be wiped out. It's like a big dam that can't be stopped.

At this time, Zhang Cuihua's voice suddenly came from outside the house, and she said with joy:

"Miss, uncle is here!"

"..."

Liu Huixiang's heart trembled suddenly, and she was overjoyed. Then she jumped up, quickly got out of bed, lit the candle, and leaned in front of the bronze mirror to check her status.

Tears cannot exist, otherwise Su Xian will laugh at her later.

When she was doing this, her heart had already been filled with joy, and the depression just now was gone. She didn't need much, just Su Xian's company, even if it was only for half a quarter of an hour.

She was quickly touching up her makeup when Su Xian's footsteps stopped outside the door, and then came the familiar voice: "Is Madam going to bed?"

"not yet."

Liu Huixiang quickly put down the "powder" in her hand, stuffed the makeup bag and hid it so that Su Xian wouldn't notice the traces of her makeup touch-ups, and then she happily ran to open the door.

"Madam!" After the door opened, Su Xian smiled like sunshine. When he entered the room, he hugged Liu Huixiang, who was full of joy, just like before.

"My husband must be very busy today, why do you have time to see me?" Liu Huixiang hugged Su Xian's waist tightly, feeling extremely at ease and satisfied.

"Husband, you don't know you yet?" Su Xian smiled, pinched Liu Huixiang's fair and tender face, and teased: "If I don't come, I'm afraid my wife will wet a pillow!"

"No way! What did your husband say? How can I be that kind of person..." Liu Huixiang was criticized for her weakness, but she refused to admit it even to her death.

"..."

The two walked into the house chatting.

I forgot to close the door.

A thick aunt's smile appeared on Zhang Cuihua's face full of flesh. After closing the door for them, she quietly returned to her room to rest.

Inside Liu Huixiang's house.

Su Xian walked up to the pillow, picked up the pillow, pointed at the wet marks on it and said with a smile, "Then what is this?"

"Husband..." Liu Huixiang saw her "handle" being taken by Su Xian, and her face suddenly turned red. She was ashamed, embarrassed, and very embarrassed.
