Chapter 283 The Daughter of the Sinful Minister 31

Xu Mian got out of bed and walked outside: "Go and ask Xiaohong to come and serve you."

"Yes, sir!" replied the guard at the door.

Shortly after Xu Mian left, Xiaohong came. She cleared the bowls and basins on the table and carried them out. He came back after a while, carrying a kettle, two basins, and two hand towels.

Standing next to it, the basin is divided up and down. I washed my face first, and wiped my body with a hand towel in another basin.

Xi Ning wiped it by herself, while Xiao Hong was nearby to help wring the hand towels. Tea and a soft toothpowder cloth were brought for gargling. After Xining cleaned his teeth with a small soft cloth dipped in toothpowder, he rinsed his mouth with tea and spit in the small spittoon.

Xiaohong brought another cup of tea. This cup of tea was obviously much better than before, and it should be for drinking. So Xining took two sips and returned it to Xiaohong: "That's it."

Xiaohong packed up her things and went out, then came back a while later, put down the mosquito net, and changed the ice basin in the room, and then it came to an end.

After asking if there was anything else to give, Xiao Hong bowed and left. Everything was the same as what Furong had served, the whole process was exactly the same, even the tea used to rinse the mouth was the same as before. On the contrary, after the Gu family ransacked the house, the quality of the last cup of tea was not as good as before.

Although it was no different from home, it also made her understand that everything in the Gu Mansion was under the control of Jin Yiwei, and he knew every word, every deed, and his eating and drinking habits.

Xu Mian walked in. No matter whether he was wearing Feiyu clothes or not, he always had an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist. After closing the door, he walked to the bamboo couch in the corner of the room, took off his embroidered spring knife and placed it on the bamboo couch. He took off his loose casual clothes and lay down in only his underwear. He put the embroidered spring knife on the bamboo couch. A place where you can draw it at any time.

Even if he was injured before, this was the case, and the knife never left his body.

Through the mosquito net, I watched Xu Mian lying on the bamboo couch. Xining asked worriedly: "Where are my parents..."

This is related to the body owner's reputation, damn reputation.

Xu Mian replied leisurely: "The Gu family has said that you have diarrhea this morning and cannot attend the meeting. They will send out the news tomorrow and you will go to visit relatives for the summer. I have informed the Gu family that you have been found and are safe and sound. You are just a little frightened. Because I am worried about the remnants of King An. If it's not good for you, I'll be responsible for staying outside temporarily. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu have agreed."

This arrangement was good. The Gu family asked Xu Mian for help and agreed that Xu Mian would be responsible for her safety. It seems that now that this matter is over, if Xu Mian survives and proposes marriage again, he will happily agree.

Xining could only say: "Thank you, sir, for your thoughtful arrangements."

What kind of plane did they kidnap her, and she still wanted to say thank you. There was no way, the emperor had taken too many golden elixirs, and he wanted to test Xu Mian suspiciously. Xu Mian is already very powerful if he can save her life and still make good excuses to others.

"Get some rest early." Xu Mian stopped talking.

After a while, his breathing became heavier and more even, as if he was asleep.

This guy can still sleep, he is really able to withstand stress. Xi Ning couldn't sleep, and secretly tried to understand the body owner's mood.

The owner of the body must know that if he can survive, he must marry Xu Mian. Xu Mian was actually quite good. At least he didn't think about chopping her up, killing her, or having sex with her. Instead, he wholeheartedly wanted to marry the matchmaker.

But there is still a very important question, whether to tell Xu Mian about replacing the task. Even if she refuses to admit it now, Xu Mian can still see it. If the task is completed and she leaves, what will Xu Mian do to the body owner of another character?

I felt at a loss for a long time.

Mo Ming: "It proves that the body owner doesn't know what to do. Hehe, I really met a weaker person. No wonder he rushed to hang himself when he ransacked the house. Do whatever you think is good!"

She can do whatever she thinks is good... It's so difficult to handle. Xu Mian's city is very deep. Even now, she still doesn't know what he is thinking. She can only guess.

Maybe, Xu Mian may not be passionately devoted to her. This kind of torment only made the emperor feel that there was something to contain him. You can feel more at ease with him. When the body owner loses its use value, it will be easy to cause a sudden death or something like that. Xu Mian's affirmative look may also be a temptation. When a disaster comes, anyone's character will change. The Gu family also noticed the difference in her, but they didn't have time to think about it, thinking that it was her potential that exploded in times of crisis.

Mo Ming: "I really admire you. Why are you worrying so much? Is it a mission requirement to tell Xu Mian or not?"

Okay, it's not a mission, so just go to sleep and we'll talk about the future later. My life is still hanging in the balance right now. If the emperor had not been completely burned by the golden elixir and turned into a madman, he would have survived; but who knows how much sanity the brain nerves destroyed by the golden elixir still had.

After a dreamless night, Xi Ning woke up when Xu Mian got up and took his plain clothes and Xiuchun knife.

She only turned over, and Xu Mian knew it through the mosquito net, and there was no light in the bed.

Xu Mian said softly: "I have to go to court. You can sleep a little longer. Xiaohong will come over to serve you breakfast at four quarters of the hour. If you wake up early and don't want to go back to sleep, just call and the guard will call."

"Okay!" Xining responded.

Xu Mian walked out, closed the door gently, and left.

The emperor in the palace got up after about half an hour, washed, ate, and dressed. Even if I get up an hour later, it's only four o'clock.

The founding emperor, Zeng Taizu, stipulated that he should go to court early and review memorials until one or two in the morning every day, and he would have to get up after only two or three hours of sleep. Maybe I can take a quick nap in the afternoon, but in this huge country, there are droughts, floods, harassment from foreign vassals, officials forming cliques for personal gain, and vassal kings from all over the country rebelling from time to time. Sitting on the Dragon Throne feels like sitting on pins and needles, how can I still sleep?

If you don't want to be a faint king, you can only hold on. Even without the golden elixir, it would be difficult for the emperor to live long.

Why do you still want to be the emperor?

Xining closed her eyes and continued to sleep heartlessly.

At about eight o'clock, Xiaohong came into the room, helped her relieve herself and freshen up, and then went to get breakfast.

After placing the breakfast plate next to him, he moved the table directly to the bedside.

Seeing Xiao Hong effortlessly lifting the solid wood Eight Immortals table by herself and placing it next to the bed, there was no sound at all when she dropped it. Xining sweated, he really had some skills. There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the Jin Yiwei, and all of them are practicing masters.

A bowl of gruel, two meaty steamed buns that are not too big with a lot of meat filling, and some Jiangnan-style pickles. With the pickles, Xi Ning had a good appetite. After finishing the porridge, he also ate a meat bun.

After eating, Xiaohong cleaned up and gave her some books. While she was reading, she changed the ice basin and lit the incense burner.

The incense I ordered at this time has a unique fragrance. It does not feel sweet and greasy, but makes people feel refreshed.

Xiao Hong really knows everything, and is really more capable than Fu Rong in the house.

At almost noon, around eleven o'clock, Xu Mian came back and the two of them had dinner together.

Xu Mian didn't feed her this time. Each of them ate a bowl of rice. Xu Mian remained silent. After finishing the meal, rinsing her mouth and wiping her face, two cups of tea were brought over.

After Xu Mian picked up the tea and took a sip, he said softly: "Something happened this morning, and it concerns Mr. Gu."
