concubines

Chapter 115 Widow
Zhou Shuxuan took the crutch, which was carved with exquisite patterns, which were not common patterns, like a crane with a bent neck.The top-quality mahogany has been polished to a bright shine, and it can be seen that the people who made it put a lot of thought into it.

The craftsmanship of embroidery and sewing is not good, but the craftsmanship of carpentry is excellent. I don't know what kind of person her parents planned to train her.

Zhou Shuxuan stood up with his crutches, and the height was just right, as if it was tailor-made for him, or it was tailor-made for him in the first place.

The person has already left, it's useless for him to regret, it's useless for him to feel uncomfortable, anyway, it's his own fault.The eldest princess was right, he might just be a coward.

Zhou Shuxuan walked forward on crutches, while Wei Hai guarded him carefully.

Wei Hai saw that he was quite satisfied with the crutch, so he said again: "My lord, it's not just this, there are other things. The girl also redesigned a wheelchair for the lord, and she has already drawn the blueprint. She said that she can change it later. Leave it to craftsmen outside.”

Zhou Shuxuan remained silent.

Wei Hai also sighed in his heart, what's the use of talking now, he also did something wrong in this matter, he should have persuaded him at that time, instead of watching with cold eyes.

Zhou Shuxuanxiang didn't hear what he just said, turned around and ordered, "Go and call Langzhong Zhang."

Wei Hai didn't say any more, he didn't know what state Zhou Shuxuan was in now.His family's prince has always been good at covering up his emotions, but he probably wouldn't feel very well in his heart.

After all, Zhou Shuxuan is the active person in the relationship.

Zhang Langzhong came over to give Zhou Shu a pulse diagnosis, then looked at his legs and said, "My lord's legs have indeed improved. It should be due to the foot bath and the daily dredging of the meridians. If you persist for a few more days, the effect will be better."

"Do you know that method?"

Miao Li is gone now, and his leg still needs treatment.

"Little people will." He was the one who taught Miaoli.

Zhou Shuxuan ordered in a normal tone, "Then you come here every day."

"The villain takes orders."

Originally, it was a great thing to be able to move his legs, but Zhou Shuxuan was not very happy now, and he didn't even think about having breakfast.Leaning in the armchair, playing with the crutch in his hand.

Thinking of Miaoli repairing his wheelchair in Yanshan, he got injured all over.It may not be so easy to go back to the palace to make these things. It is too wasteful to use Qianqian's jade hands to make these things.

Wei Hai stayed by the side for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "My lord, let's have breakfast first. Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Officials will come over later."

How could he be in the mood to deal with these business matters now, that woman had obviously left, but she still appeared in his life all the time.

She made the crutches, she thought up the prescription, and she insisted on pressing his legs every day.

He didn't regret letting her go, he just felt a little uncomfortable.

It took a long time before I looked up and answered Wei Hai's words that had nothing to do with breakfast, "Didn't you say she made other things? Take me to see."

He heard what Wei Hai said just now.

Wei Hai had no choice but to help him into the wheelchair, and pushed him to the room where Miaoli lived before.There are pieces of wood lying on the ground, and there are various carpentry tools next to it. On the table are drawings one after another. It is also vaguely visible that a girl lived here before.

Zhou Shuxuan picked up the drawings on the table, flipped through a few pages and put them back silently.He didn't even know about the things that were done right under his nose.

Wei Hai saw something else under the blueprint with sharp eyes, and stretched out his hand to pull it out. It was a bank note, and there were a few scattered pieces of silver on the side of the bank note.

"My lord?"

Zhou Shuxuan also looked at the table, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

She didn't take any of the money he gave.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at it lightly, but still didn't say anything.

Wei Hai regretted more and more, and suddenly remembered what Miao Li said that night.He slapped his head violently, "My lord, this slave deserves to die, this slave forgot to tell my lord about something important."

Zhou Shuxuan looked up at him.

"The last time the prince quarreled with the girl, the slave boldly told the girl to let the girl think about how the prince treated the girl. Later, on the day the prince was assassinated, the girl told the slave that she had figured it out."

He also wanted to understand.

That tear was contained in the eyes but there was a face that resisted crying, that sentence with a trembling "It's not like this...", and such determination to walk.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't dare to think about what he personally killed.

Ever since the eldest princess left, all the worries that had been hidden in her heart surged out now.She is a lonely woman with no money on her body, so she doesn't know what kind of bad guys she will meet.

It was too late for Zhou Shuxuan to regret now, and his voice was finally no longer flat, and he said anxiously: "Let someone go and look for it immediately, towards Yizhou and outside the Great Wall."

The general direction he guessed was correct, but he didn't expect what kind of person Miao Li would meet.

Miao Li followed behind Lu Guangbai, panting.Lu Guangbai is now carrying two large bags of books on his body, and her bag in his hand, and he is as light as a swallow and as fast as flying.She didn't have any belongings, and she had to trot to avoid being left behind.

"My lord, can we take a break?"

Miao Li couldn't move anymore, so she yelled at the person in front of her.

Lu Guangbai turned around when he heard the voice, only to find that she had been left ten steps away by him, so he ran back and helped her sit down on a big rock beside him, "It's okay, it's because I was unconscious for a while and didn't think carefully. , you sit down."

Seeing that Miao Li is a pampered lady, she must not be able to bear his hurrying like this, although he still slowed down.

Lu Guangbai put down his things, picked up Miaoli's kettle, "I'll get you some water."

"Thank you sir."

Looking at his back, Miao Li couldn't help but wonder why he had to bring himself such a burden.The two of them drove for a long time, but Lu Guangbai behaved very normally and did not overstep, and he cared for her all the way.

Was she lucky enough to meet someone nice?

Probably not, things happen for a reason.It is impossible to be nice to her for no reason, Lu Guangbai must have a plan.

Killing for money?It doesn't look like it, Miaoli can hear the sound of his heavy silver ingots colliding when he walks, Lu Guangbai is much richer than her.Want her life?Life is even more worthless, and killing her Lu Guangbai may not bring any benefits.

Miao Li couldn't help but think about it, could it be because of her face?When she walked out of the palace and walked on the street, she felt many unkind looks, and then went to buy a veiled hat to put on.

Now hurrying, she took off her hat because it was too hot, Lu Guangbai seemed to stare at her face in a daze several times.

Could it be that he was so good to himself... No wonder Miao Li thought too much, it was because she met too many people who said they would marry her the first time they met.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his temples, this is really a troublesome face.

Lu Guangbai came back from fetching water, and handed over the full jug to Miao Li, "Young lady, I can drink some, but we will hire a carriage when we enter the city."

Lu Guangbai never took a carriage when he went out. The carriage was not as fast as him, but Miaoli was different.

Miao Li waved her hands again and again, and said politely: "No need, thank you for taking care of me, sir, I won't bother you when I enter the city."

"The girl means..."

Miao Li started talking nonsense, "I'm here to visit relatives, so... when I enter the city again, I'll hire a carriage and go by myself."

It is not difficult for Lu Guangbai to tell whether someone is lying or not. Her slightly dodgy eyes showed her guilty conscience at this time.Then he asked, "What kind of marriage do you vote for?"

Miao Li made up a mess, "I'm not a girl anymore, I'm a...widow, my husband died, my husband's family treated me badly, so I escaped to visit relatives."

Lu Guangbai looked up at her, carefully distinguishing what she said, the corners of his eyes and brows really did not look like girls.But her hair was not pulled up, as if she was combing the hairstyle of a maidservant from a wealthy family.In addition to the portrait in the morning, Lu Guangbai couldn't figure out all her details, but he was sure that she was lying.

Probably because he was afraid that he would harm her, so he made up this excuse.He could understand, after all, she was a young and beautiful woman outside, so it was normal for her to be a little defensive.

Lu Guangbai said with a slightly joking tone: "Since this is the case, then I will take the girl back to the eldest princess and receive a reward of 1 taels of silver."

"What did you say?!"

Lu Guangbai smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, just to scare you. I don't have any ill intentions towards you, you can rest assured about that. It's really not safe for you to go out alone. I can take you where you want to go. In the past. And you'd better tell me the truth and stop lying, or I'll really take you back."

Now that Miaoli is in other people's hands, it may be too late.Seeing that Lu Guangbai didn't seem to be lying to her, he held the water bottle and told the truth.

His gaze fell into the distance, and with some sentimentality in his voice, he said, "I don't know where I'm going, the world is so big, there's nowhere to call home."

"What about your parents and family?"

"All dead."

"Then your so-called husband..."

Miao Li thought of Zhou Shuxuan's face, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "He is not my husband-in-law, so he can be regarded as dead."

"What are your plans?"

"I have no plan, I have no plan at all what I will do after I leave, so... I don't know where I should go."

She used to want to leave with all her heart and go outside for a walk, but she didn't think about how to do it.

Now Lu Guangbai is the only one in the wilderness, and she can only tell him what is on her mind.

Lu Guangbai thought about it carefully, and then asked cautiously: "In that case, do you want to follow me?"

"Where are you going?" Miao Li smiled, "It's been so long, I still don't know what the young master does."

Looking at his attire of a scholar, he looks like a teacher teaching in a private school.In addition, he read "Spring and Autumn" last night, Miao Li guessed that he was a gentleman who failed the first prize and didn't want to teach.
