Chapter 140 Coincidence
Even Xiaoruo, who grew up under the red flag, knows that she should kneel down and salute when she sees the prince.

When the two were about to kneel down according to the court etiquette, Zang Tinghua first raised his palms up and said, "Excuse me."

He took the lead to step out of the dark pavilion, Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun looked at each other, but they had to keep a step behind him.

The fiery trees and silver flowers disperse the darkness, and the orange candlelight gently embraces the three of them.

With the light, Zang Tinghua turned around and looked at Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun.

The male is tall and handsome, and the female is smart and delicate, making a good pair.

Zang Tinghua showed a peaceful smile on his face and said, "The food and drinks at the banquet are not to your taste? I remember that the food in Qinzhou is relatively light. You should ask the dining room to prepare some light dishes for you."

What could be called approachable words made the two of them break out in cold sweat behind their backs.

Just two sentences have already shown that the Seventh Prince knows them well, not only who they are, but also their origin from Qinzhou and their tastes, which makes Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun have to raise their guard.

Xiaoruo carefully chose the words, "It was because I was not feeling well just now, that's why we wanted to go back and have an early rest..."

Zang Tinghua immediately expressed concern when he heard the words: "Miss Xiaoruo is feeling better now? If you still feel unwell, you can go to the Tai Hospital to get some medicine."

"Thank you, Seventh Prince, for your concern. Maybe it's just that there were too many people just now and I got a breath of fresh air. I already feel better." Xiao Ruo moved a step calmly, getting closer to Xiao Xun.

Her intuition told her that the Seventh Prince was far from being as harmless as he appeared on the surface.

Zang Tinghua nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, I also felt bored just now, so I came out to relax. I didn't expect to see..."

After a pause, he raised his eyes and looked directly at the two, with sincerity in his tone, "I hope you two don't publicize what happened just now."

"If what the two of you said just now is true...it is a matter of the royal family's face, and this is a big matter. I hope that I can tell Father about this matter after I find out the ins and outs of the matter."

Zang Tinghua had a sad expression on his honest face, no matter how you look at it, he is a filial son who is afraid of his father's sadness.

"At that time, I will ask the two of you to be witnesses for me. I don't know the two of you..."

As the only prince in the current dynasty and the person who is most likely to become the next emperor, Zang Tinghua's attitude is extraordinarily sincere and humble.

He could have ordered the two to do what he said, and he could have sent someone to take down Steward Zhao and Hanzhu, but he didn't.

"The seventh prince's words are true, Minnv/Xiaomin obey." The two had no right to refuse at all, and they both bowed their knees and replied.

"Okay, it's cold at night, since Miss Xiaoruo is not feeling well, she should go back to rest earlier." Zang Tinghua clapped his hands, and a little eunuch came out from nowhere, and ran over in small steps.

"It's not easy to go to the palace at night, you two lost your way, Xiao Jinzi, take them back."

The little eunuch answered yes, got up and guided Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun to another direction.

When they were about to walk out of the corridor, Zang Tinghua's voice came from behind: "Miss Xiao, if you still don't feel well, remember to go to the imperial hospital to get the medicine. If the imperial physician is not here, you can take care of yourself."

The words were full of deep concern, Xiaoruo turned around and knelt to thank him, and then followed Xiao Jinzi out of Zang Tinghua's field of vision.

Xiao Jinzi, who grew up in the palace, was able to walk through all the palace passages with her eyes closed, and sent the two of them back to the bedroom in a short time.

Xiaoruo imitated the scenes she saw in TV dramas before, and took out a small piece of broken silver and stuffed it for him, but Xiao Jinzi immediately took three steps back, and said repeatedly: "Thank you for the reward, it's just that the palace rules are on top, and the villain can't." take!"

Seeing that he really didn't want it, Xiaoruo took back the money.

After Xiao Jinzi bowed his head to say goodbye, Xiaoruo tilted his head and looked in the direction of his departure thoughtfully.

"Ruo Ruo, go inside first, it's cold outside."

Under the tacit understanding of getting along day and night, Xiao Xun naturally noticed Xiao Ruo's abnormality. The night wind in Yingzhou's first month was as sharp as a knife, and he was not willing to let Xiao Ruo suffer from the cold.

When he got to the house, he hurriedly lit a charcoal fire.

The emperor had a heart for the two of them, so Su Henian naturally didn't dare to neglect them. Although the bedroom they lived in was remote, and there were no maids and eunuchs serving them, the charcoal fire sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the best silver charcoal, which was enough for the entire side hall Burned for a month.

The charcoal fire radiates warmth and quickly dissipates the cold air in the whole room. Xiao Ruo lay half on the table and watched Xiao Xun busy with work, constantly recalling the scene just now in her mind.

"Axun, how could it be such a coincidence that the Seventh Prince and we all happened to see the secret transaction between Butler Zhao and Hanzhu..."

She believes that there are coincidences in the world, but when all kinds of coincidences happen together, a coincidence is not necessarily a coincidence.

Xiaoxun first put the milk jelly on the charcoal fire to warm it up, and after listening to Xiaoruo's words, he also expressed his doubts.

"Before I entered the pavilion, I made sure that there was no one in or near the pavilion. It should be impossible to say that the Seventh Prince has long been hiding in the pavilion, unless he is a master of martial arts."

Xiao Xun was very confident about his hearing ability, so he couldn't figure out when the Seventh Prince would come to the pavilion.

"It's not surprising that a prince who grew up in the palace has some skills, or is good at riding and shooting, but if you say that martial arts are world-class, it's almost impossible to reach the top with lightness?" Xiaoruo frowned and said, "And also I've never heard that the Seventh Prince knows kung fu..."

The prince is good at martial arts, that's something that the royal family has a good reputation for, and should have been praised long ago, but the evaluation of the seventh prince by the people is only gentle and elegant, honest and magnanimous.

Apart from this point, Xiaoruo still can't figure it out.

Why did the Seventh Prince insist on asking her to go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine?The first time I mentioned it, it can be said that I cared about her body. When I was parting, I said it again, and said that she would pick it up if the imperial doctor was not around...

Too hospital?medicine?Could it be...

It was as if a cluster of flames were suddenly lit in her mind. She slapped the table, and she stood up and shouted, "Ah Xun! Hurry up! Let's go to Tai Hospital!"

"Now?" Xiaoxun was taken aback, "I am afraid that the imperial doctors are still at the Lantern Festival banquet, and there should be no one in the imperial hospital..."

"What I want is that they are not here!" Before Xiaoruo had time to explain, she dragged Xiaoxun to leave.

"Wait!" Xiaoxun got up and poured herbal tea on the charcoal fire, only to hear a prickling sound, and a cloud of white smoke rose.

After confirming that the charcoal fire had been completely extinguished, Xiaoxun and Xiaoruo rushed to the Imperial Hospital together.

Sure enough, the hospital was very quiet, tonight was special, there was no shift, only Xiao Dezi was sitting at the gate of the south hall to watch the night, and at the moment his head was dozing off little by little.

Xiaoruo and Xiaoxun didn't wake him up, they went around quietly to the imperial pharmacy in the backyard.

In the royal pharmacy, there are only a few candles that emit dim light in the glass cover, illuminating the square inch of the land, and other places that cannot be spread by candles are still dark and gloomy, and the ground can hardly be seen clearly.

Fortunately, the two had been to the imperial pharmacy several times, and they walked to the area where Choshi was placed.

Xiao Ruo lowered her voice and said, "According to the records, the Holy Majesty should take Anshen Zixin Decoction today. There may be medicinal materials such as cinnabar, magnets, and dragon bones. We will look for them separately. Whenever you see such medicinal materials, call me."

Instruct Xiaoxun to be good, and the two will search separately.
