Chapter 73: Will Mr. Hou stay overnight tonight?
"But Madam didn't say——"

"Go quickly."

"Yes."

Since yesterday, there has been something strange between the Marquis and his wife, which makes the servants like them feel scared.

Nie Huating was feeling dizzy. Unexpectedly, a servant came in and asked, "Madam, the Marquis has called you to dinner."

Ah Tang looked at the man and said angrily: "Madam, I don't have much appetite today. Didn't you tell Mr. Marquis?"

The servant lowered his head and his voice became softer and softer: "But the Marquis said to let the madam pass."

Ah Tang still wanted to speak, but Nie Huating stopped her, "Forget it, help me up."

Ah Tang looked at her slightly pale face and felt heartbroken: "Madam, I'll go talk to Mr. Marquis."

"No need." Nie Huating said, "I have to meet him."

Ah Tang helped Nie Huating out of the room and went to the study.

Since returning from the villa, this is the first time the two of them have lived separately.

When Nie Huating came in, the man was already sitting in the main seat.

"Master Hou." There was no emotion in her voice.

"Ah."

She slowly sat down next to him.

Xie Zhongxiao's eyes fell on her face and he couldn't help but frown: "Why does your face look so bad?"

"I just didn't sleep well last night."

Xie Chongxiao froze, "I can't do it without eating."

The woman sighed: "I don't have much appetite, please eat it, Lord Marquis."

The conversation between the two was a little unfamiliar, and Xie Zhongxiao's eyes became darker.

Thinking of what happened the day before yesterday, I couldn't say anything.

Xie Chongxiao picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of hoof flower in front of her, and said in a soft tone, "Eat a little."

Nie Huating was slightly startled.

Looking at the soft piece of hoof flower, Nie Huating finally picked up the chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

The stuff was stewed quite well and was still piping hot.

Sensing Xie Chongxiao's intention to show weakness, Nie Huating was not stubborn.

Xie Zhongxiao watched her eat something, and the tension between his brows slowly disappeared.

At the banquet, Xie Chongxiao kept talking to her: "Accompany me to the palace at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet on August [-]th."

"it is good."

Xie Zhongxiao originally wanted to say that if she was not in good health, he would refuse to stay with her at home, but he never thought that she would agree directly.

"Are you okay?"

Nie Huating thought for a while, "The last time His Majesty awarded you a reward, I still didn't thank you."

She could ignore these in the past, but it will be different in the future.

She couldn't hold Xie Zhongxiao back.

"Ah."

Usually Nie Huating talks more, and he is not a good conversationalist.

The two were suddenly silent for a while, and Nie Huating suddenly asked:

"Master Marquis, will you rest in my room tonight?"

The man was stunned and looked at her intently.

Nie Huating said: "I don't mean anything else. It's just that the Marquis sleeps late on weekdays. I want to go to bed early tonight and can't serve the Marquis."

Xie Zhongxiao's frown deepened, "Then go to bed early."

He is not a beast.

"Since you are not feeling well, why don't I accompany you to take a bath in the hot springs and have a good rest."

Xie Chongxiao is busy on weekdays and rarely does these things for rest.

Nie Huating shook his head: "I don't have the strength today. If Lord Marquis wants to go, I will have someone wait for him."

She looked really uninterested, Xie Zhongxiao's jaw tightened, "No need -"

Nie Huating didn't notice the change in his mood, he just felt very sick to his stomach.

During the meal, she didn't eat anything and drank some soup.

Suddenly his stomach turned, and Nie Huating couldn't help but retching.

"Madam!" Ah Tang rushed over quickly, "What's wrong, madam?!"

Nie Huating's face twisted and he shook his head at her.

Xie Zhongxiao supported her, "How about it? Go to the palace and call the imperial doctor!" "It doesn't matter to me." She was just tired of eating. "You have been busy all day and haven't eaten much yet. I'll go and lie down." Okay, Lord Marquis, don’t worry, just have something to eat.”

"Now, you're telling me this?!"

Xie Chongxiao asked her back, and Nie Huating looked at him with a confused look.

The man picked her up and took her back to her bedroom.

Although it has entered autumn, there is no wind at night and it is always muggy.

The servants invited the imperial doctor from the palace and hurriedly took Nie Huating's pulse.

"Madam is not sick, just take good care of yourself and you will be fine."

"Please ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription or give me an injection. I have something busy these days and cannot delay."

At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, if she dragged her sick body to the banquet, it would be Xie Chongxiao's face.

"This--"

"Go to the imperial doctor."

Nie Huating closed her eyes tightly. There were too many things going on recently, and she couldn't even have a few days of leisure.

I heard that the Empress interceded for the Gu family, but was reprimanded by His Majesty and secluded herself in the palace.

This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet may be a bit noisy.

The servants boiled the medicine, and Nie Huating held his nose and drank it. The smell of the medicine lingered for a long time, and it was extremely bitter.

Nie Huating couldn't help but look towards the door, but didn't see the figure he wanted to see.

"Madam, do you want to see Mr. Hou? How about I call him?"

"It's getting late." Nie Huating stopped and said, "No need."

Xie Chongxiao has also been unable to get away these days. They all have their own difficulties.

Ah Tang wanted to say something else, but the woman on the bed had already closed her eyes.

She walked out quietly and happened to meet the man standing at the door. She was surprised: "Master Marquis, why don't you go in when Master Marquis is here?"

Biyue, who was more arrogant and cold, pursed her thin lips tightly and asked, "How is she?"

"The imperial doctor said that Madam is not seriously ill, and she will be fine after taking a dose of medicine," Ah Tang said carefully, "The Marquis is not asleep yet, and Madam has been thinking about you. Why don't you go in and accompany Madam?"

Ah Tang has also been anxious these past two days, although he doesn't know why the two of them had a disagreement.

But obviously they can't let go of each other.

Xie Chongxiao: "...No need."

She didn't sleep well yesterday.

The man turned to leave.

The back view reveals loneliness and loneliness.

-

On the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Xie Chongxiao invited his aunt from the palace to dress Nie Huating.

"Oh, Madam, she has a very good face. She looks like a very rich person at first glance!"

Nie Huating smiled and said nothing.

After all, now, Xie Chongxiao is the person that most of Luoyang wants to fawn over, and she also takes advantage of it.

Her aunt had combed her hair. The bun was not complicated and suited her perfectly. She applied lead powder on her face and put on some brightly colored lipstick.

That face is really beautiful, and my aunt said in surprise, "Madam is really beautiful, there are not many people in Luoyang City who can compare with Madam!"

Nie Huating wore a moon-white Ruyi skirt, and her figure was as graceful as a fairy.

Even Ah Tang praised: "Madam is so beautiful."

Nie Huating looked at himself in the mirror and blinked.

She didn't think so. She always felt that her eyes were too big and her chin was too thin.

There is only one person who is truly good-looking to her.

Nie Huating walked to the door, where the carriage was already waiting.

A man in a silver-gray robe was waiting for her at the door.

The first time he saw her, Xie Zhongxiao's eyes flashed with surprise.

Nie Huating asked: "Master Hou, do you want to ride a horse or make a carriage with me?"

"……horse riding"

"it is good."

Ah Tang followed Nie Huating into the carriage, and only heard her murmur: "I look so good today, you can't help but not come see me!"

A Tang: "..."
