Chapter 15

Since Xie xuanchen woke up, taking and putting food boxes every day has become Mu Mingtang's most nervous time. Fortunately, the palace pays attention to arranging noodles. It's a rule for the master to have three meals a day, even if he can't finish it. Mu Mingtang relies on his image as a bucket to support his family.

Jiang Mingtang has been struggling with food and drink since her first day in the government. She has no idea of her position, and she also forces Daodao to put forward a lot of demands. Both the kitchen and the bodyguard are used to Mu Mingtang's busyness, so they are not surprised that she changes her dishes every day, and her taste changes from big fish and meat to nourishing.

There is nothing they dare not do. If she doesn't make a fuss all day, they have to worry about whether Mu Mingtang wants to do something.

In the evening, Mu Mingtang takes the food box in and finds that Xie xuanchen has fallen asleep. He can probably wake up for two hours a day now. Although it's not a long time, his spirit is much better when he wakes up because of his nourishing diet. At least I won't just sit and fall asleep.

Now he can sit up by himself, but he needs help walking. And after a few steps, you need to stop and rest. Mu Mingtang was very patient and never urged him.

May be just wake up in the afternoon, Xie xuanchen is still sleeping. Mu Mingtang knelt down beside the bed and called him gently: "Lord, it's time to have dinner."

She called several times, but Xie xuanchen didn't respond. Mu Mingtang thought that he had to sleep for a while, so he put down his food box and went to the east hall to light the light.

Because Xie xuanchen wakes up, Mu Mingtang doesn't dare to open the door all day. Now it's still bright outside, and the room is already a little dark. Starting from the easternmost point, Mu Mingtang lights up Yulin hall.

When Xie xuanchen wakes up, he doesn't see the familiar figure when he opens his eyes. Subconsciously, he feels strange. He sat up slowly, his movement was not small, but for a while, the hall was still empty.

Xie xuanchen's heart suddenly cooled.

She's gone?

Xie xuanchen doesn't know what's wrong with the sudden desolation in his heart. He already knows that she is going to leave, doesn't he? As soon as he wakes up, he finds that Mu Mingtang is not sleeping by his side. Xie xuanchen doesn't feel about it, and even thinks that it's good that they don't involve each other.

They are husband and wife in name, but they are only tenants living together. There is no dutiful son in front of a long sick bed, let alone a strange couple? Xie xuanchen did not expect from the beginning, Mu Mingtang will always guard him.

She can accompany him for a few days, to open the shackles for him, it has been gracious. Now she left secretly, so as not to be implicated by him for the rest of her life, which was also the last good thing he did in his life.

Xie xuanchen knows everything intellectually, but his heart is empty. It is such a development and such an ending. He was abandoned by the whole world, and everyone stood on the opposite side of him to guard against him and question him.

It was as if he was no longer a man, but an animal with no reason but to kill.

Xie xuanchen sat on the bed for a long time without moving, his eyes were calm and indifferent, just like a piece of barren desert. When Mu Mingtang came back from lighting the lamp, he saw Xie xuanchen sitting still and said, "what are you looking at, Lord?"

Xie xuanchen's eyes moved and looked back at her in surprise: "you didn't go?"

"Yes." Mu Mingtang was asked inexplicably, "it's dark. I'll light the light. Where can I go? "

Xie xuanchen looked at her with deep and complicated eyes, which seemed to contain many meanings. But he finally turned his eyes and didn't say a word.

Mu Mingtang is used to Xie xuanchen's strange temper. She puts down her lamp and goes to the table to open the food box layer by layer: "today I asked them to stew bone soup. What they eat will make up for what they eat. Big bone soup is the best for legs and feet. It's a pity that the Lord can't see the light now. Otherwise, he should help you to get out in the sun. "

Mu Mingtang prepared the dishes and brought them to Xie xuanchen as usual. Although Xie xuanchen has been awake for a long time, he can still have a rest. Mu Mingtang will take care of his meals. Mu Mingtang didn't think much. When she fed the soup, Xie xuanchen drank it quietly. After a while, Mu Mingtang found that Xie xuanchen was not right today.

He seems to have something on his mind, so quiet, not like the usual him.

Mu Mingtang didn't mention it. When the soup was finished, she put the bowl and spoon back into the food box. Then she asked, "Lord, do you think I left when you wake up today?"

"No

He said that he didn't. Mu Mingtang couldn't make it up hard. He could only euphemistically say, "don't worry, I'm tied to the same boat with you now. I'm not going to leave if I win or lose. Besides, there are so many guards standing outside. I really have this heart, and I can't escape now. "

Xie xuanchen turned to see the lights in the hall. The seven main halls of Yulin hall run through. Although there are many barriers in the middle, you can see that the lights spread all the way to the easternmost study. Xie xuanchen's pupil reflected the dancing candle. After a while, he asked, "there is no one in the other rooms. What do you do with the lights?"

"Lighting up makes you feel at home. Although there is no one in other places, this is the main hall of the palace after all. There should always be some rows."

"The PAI Mian of Wang Fu?" Xie xuanchen laughed and said, "why, it's just a waste of time.""No, I'm an empty princess, but I have to talk about it. What's more, I have nothing to do for a day. I'll walk around the hall for two more times. I'll take it as exercise. "

Xie xuanchen was silent. After a while, he leaned on the pillow and said, "if you didn't marry me, you wouldn't even be able to go out. It's the emperor's holy order that I was banned. You have nothing to do with these things. There's no need to waste your life with me. In a few days, after the patrol outside is relaxed, you can leave quietly. "

"You say that again." Mu Mingtang was really a little angry this time. "Why do you always send me away? Is that how I get in your way? "

"Don't file a lawsuit with me. I don't want you to do it. As a matter of fact, the Jiang family has brought you a lot of dowries. You can take some gold and silver and other things that are easy to sell off. If you are afraid that they will be found when they cash in later, take them from the royal treasury. Although I've become an empty shelf these years, I have some savings to protect you for the rest of your life. It's always OK. "

"Why?" Mu Mingtang's stubbornness also came up and asked, "we've already passed the ceremony. We're a husband and wife with the right name. If you ask me to leave my husband's house, either my husband is widowed, I will remarry with a dowry, or I will be abandoned by my husband. Since then, it has nothing to do with marriage. Mr. Wang, you are very good now. If you don't want to remarry, you are going to divorce me? "

"You have to think that way." Xie xuanchen said, "if you don't feel at ease, you should take a copy of Heli book with you. If you are found by the court in the future, you can say that I let you remarry. Go to the drawer under Duobao Pavilion in your study and get some ink... "

"You're not finished yet!" Mu Mingtang is angry, throw sleeve directly to stand up, "you have ability, you take pen to write by yourself, I don't wait."

Mu Mingtang said, mention the food box back to his room. Xie xuanchen sat in the bedroom hall for a long time, and finally determined that someone had just fallen in love with him.

He is so big that I don't know how many people have shaken his face. Since he was a child, he was the master of his family. His father couldn't control him with a stick. Don't expect him to restrain himself in front of the emperor. But just now, did Mu Mingtang show his face?

Xie xuanchen was very shocked and couldn't get over it for a long time.

After a while, Mu Mingtang finished his meal and put the food box outside the door. The chief bodyguard asked a question, and was glared by Mu Mingtang.

The chief bodyguard was dazzled. What's the matter? He didn't do anything?

After Mu Mingtang came back, he went directly back to his room. After a while, she heard a sound outside. She ran out and saw Xie xuanchen standing on the bedstead. Mu Mingtang came forward to help him, and said, "it's not convenient for you to move now. If you come across something, it will disturb people outside. I'd better help you."

Xie xuanchen gave a low "Er". Neither of them spoke. After walking slowly for a while, they finally got off the stage in embarrassment.

Xie xuanchen always has to walk after dinner. He walks and stops. When he's almost done, he's helped back by Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang helped him to sit down, and with his other hand, he quickly put a pillow on him. His movements were very quick.

After Xie xuanchen sat down, Mu Mingtang sat by the bed. Instead of leaving immediately, he stopped for a while and said, "Lord, I remember a sentence from Chuang Tzu, but I forgot how to say it. The main idea is that two people are watching fish on Haoliang... "

Too obvious, Xie xuanchen couldn't bear to go on and said, "let's talk straight."

Well, Mu Mingtang thinks it's too abrupt. She coughed awkwardly and said, "that's the saying, son is not a fish, do you know the happiness of fish? You think I'm banned and want to arrange for me to leave, but how do you know I don't want to? What if I just have no ambition to enjoy this kind of moth life, which is supported by people and doesn't have to work? "

Xie xuanchen raised his eyebrow, and Mu Mingtang moved the position of the pillow for him. He still said, "I really like the days when I don't have to struggle. Lord, please let me stay in the palace and have a dry meal. The imperial court will support me for everything I do. How nice! I don't want to go out and support myself at all. "

Changing the concept secretly, Xie xuanchen didn't eat her way and said, "when I was playing with people, you might still be suckling. If you want to live and die, you can take gold, silver and jewelry with you and find a beautiful place to spend money. Why wait here to die? "

"Sooner or later, there will be a time when I can't spend all my money as long as I stay in the palace."

Her reason is too simple, Xie xuanchen didn't take up the words for a while. Mu Mingtang succeeded in smiling and said, "so, this is what I want. My childhood dream is not to struggle, eat and die. Now it's hard to achieve. You can't destroy other people's dreams, Lord

Xie xuanchen is dumb, after a while, ask: "why?"

"What?"

"Why are you so determined to stay? Xie Xuanji is right. You follow me now. I can't give you any more. "

"It doesn't matter." Mu Mingtang's smiling eyes are curved, her eyes reflect the candle, as bright as the stars, "because you are my life-saving benefactor, the hero of the world in my mind. As long as I can be with you, I'm already very happy. "Xie xuanchen was dazzled by this answer. He was in a trance for a moment. After reaction, he immediately sneered: "you will say this, but it's because you haven't seen me crazy yet. In the past, those people were all like you. They said they would not ask for return and would follow them to death. But I only got sick twice, and they all broke up. "

Mu Mingtang knows how determined her mind is, but she doesn't know how to tell Xie xuanchen. She can only repeat: "Lord, all diseases can be cured. You see, now, for a few days, you are gentle and easy-going

Thanks to Mingtang's ability to say such nonsense as "gentle and easy-going", Xie xuanchen laughs: "not all sober times will get sick. It's a matter of probability. If you really insist on staying, I'm afraid you will be the first to die when I go crazy. "

"I'm not afraid." Mu Mingtang answered. After she finished, she carefully looked at Xie xuanchen, "that is to say, do you agree with me to stay? In the future, you will not drive me away, will you

Xie xuanchen did not speak, that Mu Mingtang took him to admit. Mu Mingtang stood up happily and said, "it's getting late. Let's go to bed first. See you tomorrow. "

With that, Mu Mingtang went out with the lamp. Mu Mingtang does not dare to leave any open fire in Xie xuanchen's room. All the candles must be extinguished before she dares to leave.

Mu Mingtang blew out the lamp of the bedroom hall and walked east. The lights went out one by one. Outside Yulin hall, the patrolling guards saw that the lights in the hall were going out, and they knew that night was coming.

The lights that the princess of Qiyang lit everyday became the dividing line between day and night, light and darkness.
