Chapter 229 Lovesickness and Good Medicine

Suddenly Xu Jiao couldn't sleep anymore, turned somersaults, took out the cheap father's landscape painting that Emperor Caixian had given him just now, and looked at it under the candlelight.

Did Emperor Xian have any other intentions in doing this?
Perhaps, she should ask He Lianshu?
As Xu Jiao was thinking, he made up his mind to take a detour to Tongji when he came back from the Princess's mansion tomorrow.It was only then that something on his mind went away, he put away the scroll, and went back to lie down and sleep again.After a while, I fell asleep in a daze.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next morning, she hadn't gone out yet, but Mother Qin came here in a hurry, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go out today."

"Why is this?" Xu Jiao was puzzled, and went to the main courtyard together with Qinniang. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he saw that the courtyard was full of more than [-] boxes tied with red silk, in pairs. The most eye-catching ones were the pair of wild geese whose feet and mouths were tied up with red silk. In the hall, the official media could faintly hear good and auspicious words, but Xu Jiao couldn't recover.

Didn't you say take your time?Why did you come to Na Cai all of a sudden?I haven't heard from her before.

Could it be because she acted too hastily that night?can't you?
In the afternoon, a brightly red and steaming post was delivered to He Lianshu.

Seeing that the corners of He Lianshu's mouth could not restrain the slight upward curve, and his usual cold and stern expression became warm and gentle like melting ice, Su Le couldn't help but said bitterly, "It's different for those who are married by imperial decree. No matter how unhappy the Jing family is, this Geng post is obediently sent to you."

He Lianshu was in a very good mood and didn't bother to argue with him. He held the Geng Tie in his hand and looked at it for a while before opening it.

Unexpectedly, looking at it this way, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, and his eyebrows frowned.

Su Le sensed that there was something strange in his expression, followed his probe to look over, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Ah! Yesterday was Princess Yingyue's birthday! What a coincidence!"

He Lianshu pressed Geng close with no expression on his face, and glanced at Su Le coldly, his eyes were like knives.

Su Le chuckled, "But it's okay, after all, it's not the real birthday of Second Lady Xu. I'm just curious, Ashu, do you know the real birthday of Second Lady Xu?"

Xu Jiao hadn't looked for an opportunity to go to Tongji yet, but Neg Xue brought another paper dumpling here, it was He Lianshu who asked her to meet.

Does this count as a tacit understanding?Xu Jiao smiled, after coming out of the Princess's mansion that day, she went to He Lianshu's appointment.

Fu Gui, who was driving the car, was originally Jing Qin's man, and he personally arranged it, so he had his own uniqueness.This time, they didn't even think about hiding it, they directly met Guangming in a tea house.

When he arrived at the teahouse, Di Da was already waiting downstairs. When he saw Xu Jiao, he clasped his fists and saluted.

Xu Jiao took Negative Snow to the elegant room on the second floor of the tea house, and Di Daze received the wealth and was in the hall downstairs, entertaining him to drink tea and snacks.

Xu Jiao entered the elegant room, saw He Lianshu waiting inside, opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Why do you want to meet suddenly? Could it be that you can figure it out and know that I have something to ask for you?"

He Lianshu was taken aback, raised his eyebrows and said, "You need me for something?"

This sentence meant that he didn't know anymore, Xu Jiao sighed in disappointment, then laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's probably lovesickness, and I need your good medicine!"

This unexpected teasing... He Lianshu was slightly taken aback, and the pinnae of his ears turned slightly red again.

"What? Did you miss me too? That's why you want to see me?" Xu Jiao leaned forward and stared at him with blinking black and white eyes.

The blood on Helianshu's ear became two points darker, "If I say yes, will you be happy?"

There was a twinge of wonder in Xu Jiao's eyes, is this enlightened?Xu Jiao nodded, "I would be happier if you only said one 'yes' and no ifs."

He Lianshu was bored for a moment, "Okay! Improve next time!"

Xu Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked him up and down in amazement, is this really enlightening?

He Lianshu was very uncomfortable being seen by her, he stretched out his hand and pulled her aside to sit down, "Let's talk business!"

Well, when it comes to business, Governor Helian has a sense of justice that makes people's enthusiasm cool down in an instant.

Xu Jiao also stopped teasing him, and couldn't help but sit up straight.He is so solemn, is there really something very serious about it?
"What do you want from me?" Who knows, He Lianshu held back for a while, but asked her first.

Xu Jiao glanced at him speechlessly, and then said in a muffled voice, "There are two things."

He Lianshu's complexion became even more serious, and he straightened his back, "Say it."

"This is the first one. When I entered the palace yesterday, Emperor Xian talked to me. He deliberately asked me if I knew how to paint landscapes. Afterwards, he gave me a painting by my father. The meaning behind the words was all the same. He asked me to copy it, and I'm not sure if he has any other purpose."

He Lianshu listened, his eyes were still as deep as the night sea, making it impossible to see through. "You can just copy it according to his meaning, but you can take a look to see if there is anything unusual about that painting."

"You are suspicious..." A strange light flashed in Xu Jiao's eyes.

"I don't suspect anything. But, haven't we thought about Mr. Jiuyi's secret death before?" He Lianshu raised a pair of sharp eyes.

Xu Jiao nodded, "Actually, I also thought about it, it must be related to his time in the palace. He stayed in the palace for so long, what did he do?"

"This secret must be very important. To let the late emperor even use his own Long Yang obsession as a gimmick would not hesitate to use it as a cover. As for Mr. Jiuyi, a scholar, the most brilliant thing is his painting skills..."

He Lianshu didn't need to speak too bluntly for the latter words, Xu Jiao already understood, her eyes were a little dazed looking out the window, her complexion changed slightly.

Seeing her like this, He Lianshu sighed, stretched out his hand, and put her on the table, holding her slightly cool hand in his palm, "Originally, these things have nothing to do with you, but after all, you bear the name of Jingyue, and you can't bear the name of Jingyue." With such a painting skill, maybe it is destined in the dark! Right now, I’m afraid we can’t be alone, since this is the case, we might as well prepare early, and we won’t be too passive.”

"I understand, you don't need to worry about me. Although I don't like these private things, but as you said, since I bear the name of Jingyue, there are some things that I can't avoid. Besides... Mr. admires, and my mother... even for her, I will not stand idly by."

He Lianshu tightened her hand, looked at her shining eyes, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.This little girl always seems to have endless courage and strength to face the future, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is.

"What about the second thing?" The two held hands in silence for a while before Helian Shu asked again.

Xu Jiao looked at him with strange eyes, "Why did you come to accept Cai suddenly and never ask me?"
