This was already the latter half of the night. That fellow must have already fallen asleep by now.
As expected, when Han Xiu rushed back to the Bamboo House area, he heard uniform breathing from inside the room.
The expression on his face unconsciously softened.
After taking off his outer robes, he took out the jade pendant and Heavenly Heart Pill s. The jade pendant was held in Han Xiu's hands, and the Heavenly Heart Pill s were wrapped in cloth and placed in the wardrobe.
After placing the jade pendant beside Murong Qing's pillow, Han Xiu then laid down on the bed next to him.
That night, Han Xiu was completely exhausted, and fell asleep the moment he laid down.
The night was cool and refreshing. Even in a room without an air conditioner, he could still sleep soundly …
Murong Mansion —
After dealing with the matters of the Ancestral Hall, Murong Shu went back to his room to rest.
Tonight, he was staying in First Lady's room. Once inside, First Lady Lin Qing helped Murong Shu to take off his shirt and hung it on the side.
"Master, why did you come back tonight? Didn't you say that you would be here by noon tomorrow? "
Lin Qing walked to Murong Shu's side and pinched Murong Shu's shoulders as he asked.
He must definitely send Third Gender to the palace as soon as possible, because State Advisor has calculated that this Third Gender who was hidden in our town of Lishui will leave the town of Lishui before the fifteenth. Today is the seventh.
When Lin Qing heard this, he could not help but become anxious.
"You really want to find it? What will we do if we don't find it? "
"If I can't find one, my official position will drop by three levels. It's very possible that I'll be assigned to a small place as a local government official."
Saying that, Murong Shu did not care at all, because he had no intentions of continuing to be an official in the imperial court, he had already wanted to resign and return home. If not for the Emperor's constant urging to stay, he would have already become a merchant at home.
However, Lin Qing was very concerned. Not only would her husband be demoted to a third grade, there was also the possibility of him being sent to a small place as a government official. What was the point of that!?
"Master, we have to think of a way, Third Gender is not written on our face, how can we recognize him at a glance? After all, we can't just have people strip them off one by one and examine them on the streets! "
However, Murong Shu was relatively calm as he said, "No, State Advisor said that as long as we can find a man with a seven star birthmark on the back of his hand, we will be able to find Third Gender."
"A man with a seven star birthmark?" The one with this birthmark is Third Gender? " Lin Qing asked.
"No, it's the person beside the man with the birthmark, the Third Gender."
"Like this?" "Then the difficulty has been reduced quite a bit."
Hearing what Murong Shu said, Lin Qing calmed down a little.
Just then, a shadow flashed outside the door, and a servant sneakily left right away, running towards the Eldest Young Master Murong Bin's room.
At the entrance of that dilapidated courtyard — —
At that moment, Murong Bin and Murong Qian did not return to their room to rest. Instead, they stood by the door of Murong Qing's residence.
Murong Bin looked at the servant beside him and said, "Wake up Fifth Young Master, I have something to talk to him about!"
"Yes, Eldest Young Master!" With that, the servant ran into the courtyard and headed towards Murong Qing's room.
'Knock, knock, knock '
"Fifth Young Master, First Young Master has something to talk to you about. Wake up!"
No response...
He seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Murong Bin and Murong Qian thought in their hearts.
The reason they were here was to ask Murong Qing about Han Xiu.
Murong Bin wanted to make sure that this man called Han Xiu was not the same as Da Zhuang.
And Murong Qian actually wanted to find out from Murong Qing where Han Xiu lived? What was his family background?
As a result, when the servant impatiently pushed the door open and entered, he discovered that there was no one inside.
Then the servant ran out again and ran in front of Murong Bin and Murong Qian, exclaiming in panic: "Oh no, Young Master, the Fifth Young Master is not in his room!"
"What did you say!?" Isn't the kid in the room? Did you see it clearly? "
The servant nodded and said, "Look carefully, there is no one on the bed, and it doesn't look like someone has slept with it!"
Hearing that, Murong Bin suddenly remembered what Han Xiu had said — — It's with me.
Could it be that after Murong Qing was taught a lesson, he sneaked out again?
"Brother, what do we do now? That brat is really not here. " Murong Qian said anxiously. Since that brat was not here, she had no way of knowing where Han Xiu was staying.
"If he's not here, then so be it!" When he returned, wouldn't he be thoroughly scolded by his father? Alright, let's go back to your room to rest! "
Murong Bin was not anxious because of Murong Qing's departure. He was not here, and whether or not Han Xiu was Da Zhuang did not have much of a relationship with him. He only came here to find Murong Qing out of curiosity.
"But, how did Murong Qing know such a powerful person? I don't usually see him out there too much! " Murong Qian expressed her incomprehension.
Murong Bin was silent. He looked at the path illuminated by the moonlight, his expression extremely doubtful.
When Murong Bin returned to his own courtyard, he saw a male servant walking back and forth in front of his room. Seeing that he had returned, the male servant immediately ran over.
"Eldest Young Master, if you ask this servant to find out where the Third Gender is, this servant will find out."
"Did you find out?" Murong Bin immediately became spirited: "Where?"
"Just now, this servant heard the lord say that the Third Gender is in our town. It's said that he's a person with a seven star birthmark on his hand."
"Are you saying that the man with the seven-star birthmark on the back of his hand is Third Gender?" Hearing that, Murong Bin became excited, and a scene quickly flashed through his mind, as though he had seen the Seven Stars Birth Record before.
"Yes, Eldest Young Master. As long as we can find the person with this birthmark, Eldest Young Master will be able to complete the mission for Master!" At that time, the Emperor will definitely receive a great reward! "
"Good!" Send someone to search for him tomorrow! I have to find him before my father does! "
Murong Bin said excitedly, he looked as though he could already see the scene of Murong Bin following his father to the capital, his eyes shining brightly.
"Yes, Eldest Young Master!"
The servant was also infected by Murong Bin's emotions, and the expression on his face was also agitated.
After giving the servant some silver as a reward, Murong Bin entered his room to rest happily.
Lying on the bed, he kept fantasizing about how shocked his father would be when he found the Third Gender, how he would praise him, and then bring him to the capital.
Seven star birthmark, Seven star birthmark …
Murong Bin, who was slowly sleeping soundly, was still thinking these four words in his head.
Until the morning of the second day, when Murong Bin suddenly woke up from his sleep and said: "It's him!"
Last night, that man called Han Xiu …
The thing that he saw on the back of Han Xiu's hand last night continuously appeared in his mind.
The concubine who was sleeping beside him was woken up by his sudden words, she looked at Murong Bin who was sitting up blurrily and asked: "What him? What's wrong with Darling? "
However, Murong Bin completely ignored his concubine's concerned question and got off the bed.
Right now, he had to find Murong Qing even more so, ask him where that man called Han Xiu was.
At the same time, Murong Qing also woke up to the clear sound of birds. He turned his head to look, and saw a handsome face that was very close to him, causing his heart to tighten.
I really did not expect that Da Zhuang would actually look so good …
After calming the anxiety in his heart, Murong Qing sat up, turned around and was about to get off the bed, but his attention was attracted by something pressing against the right side of Han Xiu's face.
Why does this rope look a little familiar?
Murong Qing stared intently at the red rope that was pressing down on Han Xiu's face, as well as the jade pendant that was revealed slightly.
This guy didn't come back last night. Could he have gone to his house in town to help him get the jade pendant?
What a fool, to be able to go so far without saying a word. He must be very tired.
Looking at the sun outside and then looking at Han Xiu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Murong Qing suddenly smiled emotionally.
It seemed that he was exhausted and had yet to wake up.
Normally, Han Xiu would wake up very early due to the accurate biological clock. He had slept like this until the sun had risen today and still hadn't woken up yet, which was something he had never seen before.
Murong Qing didn't take the jade pendant out from under Han Xiu's face. He didn't want to wake the man who had been tired for the whole night from his sleep.
Gently getting out of bed, he ran to the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast.
Da Zhuang likes to eat egg cakes and noodles …
Murong Qing muttered to himself, and then he took out some flour and noodles from the cupboard and started to make egg pancake with the flour, while the noodles was placed in the pot and boiled.
Murong Qing wholeheartedly prepared breakfast. He wanted to make a delicious breakfast for Han Xiu.
When Han Xiu finally had enough sleep, he opened his eyes and saw the big sun outside.
He was tired from one night, so he got up late the next morning.
He sat up and looked around him. No one was there as he expected, so he didn't know where that fellow had gone to.
Looking at the jade pendant that was still beside his pillow, and thinking back to the strange feeling he had under his face, Han Xiu smiled.
This brat must have noticed the jade pendant, but didn't want to wake him up, so he didn't take it out.
Grabbing the jade pendant, Han Xiu got off the bed and walked out of the Bamboo House. He went outside and saw that the smoke was coming out from the chimney of the kitchen. He knew that Murong Qing was busy in the kitchen and walked towards the kitchen.
Once he entered, Han Xiu saw that Murong Qing, whose face was wounded, was very diligently frying eggs in the pot.
"Da Zhuang, you're up!"
Sensing that there was someone standing at the door, Murong Qing raised his head and saw Han Xiu standing at the door greeting him.
Han Xiu raised his chin and asked: "What are you doing?"
Murong Qing showed the already fried egg pancakes to Han Xiu, "Eggs pancakes, what you like to eat!"
Hearing that, Han Xiu could not help but smile, he weighed the jade in his hand and said: "For you."
Murong Qing ran over to Han Xiu and said: "Da Zhuang, help me carry them. My hands are covered with oil."
This time, Han Xiu did not say that he was greedy. Instead, he untied the rope and tied it around Murong Qing's neck.
Seeing that the jade was ready, Murong Qing smiled brightly at Han Xiu, then returned to the stove.
If it wasn't for the wound on Murong Qing's face, Murong Qing's smile was indeed very beautiful, and it carried a youthful and delicate elegance and cleanliness, causing others to feel very comfortable.
"You applied the medicine?"
The injury was too much of an eyesore.
Murong Qing shook his head and said: "Not yet, wait until breakfast is ready before wiping it."
Han Xiu nodded and left, he sat on the stone bench and waited for Murong Qing to bring him the breakfast.
