Chapter 633: The Big Red Bag Hanging on the Bedside

King Cheng's appearance in Huaguang Temple was actually an accident!

He did have to come to Huaguang Temple for business, but after he arrived at Huaguang Temple, he received a strange letter. The letter said that Chu Liuchen's visit to Huaguang Temple to recuperate was a lie. In fact, he had other plans secretly, and The person he conspired with was Chu Qing, the king of Qing County, and these two were brothers.

Even though the emperor gave Chu Liuchen the rank of prince, it was equivalent to recognizing him as his son. He could also be called "son" in front of the emperor, but he was definitely not the emperor's biological son. In other words, he was related to Chu Qing.

What are the two of them plotting secretly? It’s actually easy to guess!

The letter said that if King Cheng didn't believe it, he could go to the place where Chu Liuchen was recuperating and check it out. He would definitely not be there at this time!

King Cheng was dubious about this letter. After thinking about it, he decided to take a trip. If no abnormalities were found, it meant that the letter was fraudulent. If any abnormalities were found, it meant that Chu Liuchen was fraudulent. He didn't know that he was ill. What are you still tossing about? No matter how hard you toss, you can't do it to him!

But no matter what, he had doubts in his heart, so King Cheng brought a group of people over to "visit the patient".

The place where King Cheng lives is also some distance away from here. When he walked over, he saw two guards guarding the door. When they saw him, the two guards hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've met King Cheng!"

"Where is your prince?"

King Cheng asked with a smile.

"Our prince is inside!"

"Just say that this king is here." King Cheng nodded.

A guard turned around to report, and after a while he saw Xiao Xuanzi running out with a smile on his face. Before he even got close, he said cheerfully: "His Royal Highness, I have just met His Highness King Cheng!"

"No!" Prince Cheng waved his sleeves, "What is your prince doing now?"

"Our prince just took medicine and went to bed. Please, prince!" Xiao Xuanzi said with a smile as he went inside to welcome Prince Cheng.

"Since I'm already resting, how can I disturb you?" King Cheng took two steps, but stopped. In the past, he liked to live in major temples and didn't care about the affairs of his nephews in the palace. Even if she went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, she would not be close to other royal family members.

"Our master is sick eight or nine out of ten days. If you come to visit us, you can go in and take a look. If you are asked to wait for our master to wake up, it will be a waste of time! Your Highness, Prince Cheng, please!" "Xiao Xuanzi continued to invite him in enthusiastically.

It is true that everyone knows that Chu Liuchen is not in good health, and people do come to visit him from time to time. Of course, not everyone can have the decency to go in and take a look. Many people Even the door of Prince Chen's Mansion couldn't be entered.

"Did you just take the medicine?" King Cheng nodded, with only a happy expression, and asked the others to guard the door, then followed Xiao Xuanzi inside.

"Yes, I just took the medicine. It's not much. You may wake up after a while. Our master is quite startled and his sleep has not been good. If his sleep is better, it is impossible to say that this disease will be much better." Xiao Xuanzi was very happy. She said thoughtfully, "In recent times, our master's sleep has been much better than before!"

"It was still worse before?" King Cheng frowned.

"But it's even worse. In the past, when our master was asleep, he was absolutely not allowed to make a sound. If he was disturbed from his sleep, he would be severely punished. Once in the palace, a blind man took our master When I woke up, the Queen Mother was so angry that she almost brought disaster to the whole family!"

Xiao Xuanzi said.

"Family? Not servants in the palace?" King Cheng asked curiously.

"Of course not. He came to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, but he happened to have trouble with our master. In fact, it was his misfortune. Our master was not feeling well that day. He finally fell asleep and was woken up by someone like this. , I felt so uncomfortable that I even vomited out the medicine. I just vomited the medicine that I finally persuaded to take. How could the Queen Mother not be angry? You know, the Queen Mother is most worried about our master’s health!"

Xiao Xuanzi led Prince Cheng into the main room, chatting and saying with a smile: "Your Highness, Prince Cheng, these are steps, please be careful."

King Cheng nodded and climbed up the stairs. There were also two guards standing in the main room. When he saw them coming, he hurriedly opened the curtain.

"His Royal Highness Cheng, please!" Xiao Xuanzi entered the room, his voice lowered by more than an octave. The outside and inside of the house were not on the same level at all, but the smile on his face did not change, and he still enthusiastically led Cheng inside. king.

King Cheng stepped in and looked at the decorations in the house. Although Buddhism is mainly about elegance, it can be seen that the decorations in this house, even if they are elegant, are also valuable. Compared with living in his own house, The decorations in the courtyard are much better and clearly more thoughtful.

He had also come to Huaguang Temple in the past, and the courtyard there was originally chosen by him. There were many courtyards prepared for the royal family, distributed in different locations, but that one was not the most glamorous. It was considered the most beautiful among the royal courtyards. Inconspicuous, and what King Cheng wants is this inconspicuousness.

Before many things were clear, he hoped to avoid all conspicuousness, not to let the emperor notice him, and not let the officials notice him. Now he is just a monk who wants to become a monk, and is not even willing to get married.

A practitioner like him should take everything lightly and lightly!

What does that letter mean? His eyes turned on Xiao Xuanzi's flattering and affectionate smile. It seemed that all the eunuchs had the same expression. For a while, I really couldn't see any difference. place.

Continue walking inward.

On the bed behind the screen, Shao Wanru's heart was lifted. She felt that King Cheng's footsteps outside almost touched her heart with every step. She pressed her chest with one hand, closed her eyes tightly, and did not dare to move. , I felt like my heart was pounding, and I bit my lip hard to suppress my rapid breathing.

The fists in the quilt couldn't help but clenched!

"Your Highness Prince Cheng, please!" Xiao Xuanzi's flattering voice sounded in my ears. It was low but very affectionate and relaxed. His footsteps were also very light. Apparently he was afraid of disturbing the people on the bed!

Afraid of disturbing the person on the bed?

Shao Wanru's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something, his body relaxed slightly, his long eyelashes fluttered, his eyes were tightly closed, and only his ears were paying attention to the sounds outside.

The footsteps were indeed very light, but there was more than one. King Cheng was really here!

Prince Cheng followed Xiao Xuanzi around the screen and entered the inner room. His eyes immediately fell on the big red sachet hanging on the bedside gauze.

In such a room with plain decoration, this bright red stand-out is really hard to miss. Such a rich color and such a rich peony are so gorgeous that it catches the eyes.

King Cheng's hands suddenly trembled, his eyes twitched slightly, and his face darkened: "Why is there such a gaudy sachet hanging on King Chen's bedside? This is a quiet place in Buddhism!"

His voice was not high, but you could tell that he was very angry. Shao Wanru stretched out her ears on the bed. She was actually curious about this matter. It seemed that King Cheng really didn't want to see the big red sachet.

Xiao Xuanzi also saw the sachet hanging on the bedside. After pondering for a while, he figured it out. He secretly thought that Miss Shao Wu was really smart. He smiled and lowered his voice very low. He leaned in front of King Cheng and whispered: "Cheng Your Highness, this sachet was sent by the Queen Mother to our prince to ward off evil spirits, saying that the bright red color can suppress evil spirits."

"Then why do you want to make it look like a sachet and hang an image of peonies?" After hearing what the Queen Mother meant, the coldness on King Cheng's face receded slightly. Although his eyes were still evil, he still asked in a low voice.

"I heard that it is made like a sachet so that it can be hung easily, but hanging a piece of red cloth is a bit unsightly. This peony... it must be for the sake of looking good, right?" Xiao Xuanzi reached out and touched his head, and explained in confusion, expressing this. He didn't know. Since it was the Empress Dowager's intention, Xiao Xuanzi naturally couldn't ask more questions.

And looking at it like this, I asked, but nothing came out!

Of course, you can't just ask questions about the Queen Mother's people. Even Chu Liuchen, the favored grandson, may not be able to ask them all.

This is so true!

King Cheng's eyes moved down from the big red sachet with difficulty, and then fell on the bed. There was a faint figure in the gauze curtain, and it could be seen that someone was sleeping on the bed.

"Your Majesty, I will lift up the gauze curtain for you. Please take a look and don't wake us up, okay?" Xiao Xuanzi smiled with a bit of bitterness on his face, his voice became lower and lower, and he looked at him pleadingly. King Cheng.

Even though Shao Wanru had made some preparations on the bed, he couldn't help but his heart beat wildly. If he was covered with a quilt, he might not be able to see that he was a fake, but if King Cheng lifted it slightly, or borrowed When I was helping myself to tidy up the quilt, I thought, if I check it, I will definitely find that I am fake.

She was lying on her side facing in, and the quilt was not tightly covered. Apart from her hair, half of her face was also exposed. As long as King Cheng peeked in a little, he would definitely find that she was not Chu Liuchen. Then not only would he be able to Chu Liuchen couldn't explain clearly, and he couldn't explain it clearly either.

But in this situation, all she can do is grit her teeth and hold on. It depends on who can last until the end, between her and King Cheng!

Gritting his teeth, Shao Wanru also gave up and didn't think about anything. Thinking about nothing is true peace of mind. His hands that were trembling slightly just now actually stabilized.

King Cheng nodded, looking at the big red sachet hanging on the gauze tent with disgust again, and took a step back instead of moving forward.

Xiao Xuanzi stepped forward and lifted up half of the gauze curtain, revealing the figure lying there on the bed. He did not cover it up sullenly, revealing half of his face facing inside. Under his long black hair, his white and tender skin, at this time He slept there breathing calmly, not being disturbed by the movement above.

"Has His Highness Prince Cheng not seen our master for a long time? Do you want to come over and have a look?" Xiao Xuanzi lowered his voice and invited Prince Cheng while lifting the gauze curtain.

This was originally the idea that King Cheng came up with after he came in. He really wanted to see if the person on the bed was Chu Liuchen, so that he could clear up his doubts. At this moment, Xiao Xuanzi actually snatched his words away, making him frown. Wrinkling slightly, he raised his eyes and looked at the big red sachet hanging on the gauze tent, and stretched out his steps...
