The concubine's concubine smiles charmingly, but the villain's king carelessly flirts

"Miss, the rice porridge is ready!" Qiuyue came in with rice porridge.

Wen Xun'er came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Jiwei with his eyes closed on the couch: "I know you're not asleep, get up and drink porridge!"

She signaled Qiuyue to help the person up.

Qiuyue quickly stepped forward, took a pillow and put it behind Xiao Jiwei, and helped him up.

The young man's dark eyes stared at Wen Xun'er with a hint of confusion and inquiry.

Wen Xun'er made sure that the porridge was no longer hot, then looked at him: "Open your mouth."

"No need, I..." Xiao Jiwei stretched out his hand, only to find that his fingers were covered with gauze, and suppressed what he was about to say.

Wen Xun'er put the spoon to his lips, and the fragrant smell of rice porridge immediately hit his nose.

After five days without eating, Xiao Jiwei was so hungry that he didn't know how his stomach felt.

But the moment he smelled the food, he moved his lips instinctively.

The plump millet porridge is boiled until it turns plump and yellow, and is sweet and glutinous in the mouth. It just nourishes the stomach that has been empty for several days.

After Xiao Jiwei ate it, he felt that his entire abdomen felt warm and his body gradually gained some strength.

Wen Xun'er stood up and said, "He must be unable to take care of himself like this. Let someone go to the imperial city and pick up Chun Sheng tomorrow morning."

Xiao Jiwei's eyelids twitched, and when he looked up, he only saw Wen Xun'er's leaving back.

Early the next morning, Chun Sheng was sent to the temple.

The moment he saw Xiao Jiwei, Chunsheng cried and knelt in front of the bed: "Master, I have only been away for a few days, why are you like this?"

Xiao Jiwei frowned and glanced at him.

Chunsheng realized something and glanced at Wen Xun'er and others at the door. He quickly wiped his tears and took some hot porridge to feed him: "Master, I'll serve you the porridge!"

Now that the people had arrived, Wen Xun'er didn't intend to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked out.

After the door was closed, Chun Sheng lowered his voice and said: "Sir, why are you covered with wounds? If Lord Rao finds out, he will not die in a hurry!"

Xiao Ji gave him a cool look: "Were they all well when you came?"

"It's fine!" Chun Sheng whispered, "But it's strange to say that the Imperial Guards have been patrolling Pingluo Village in the north of the city in the past few days. They seem to know something, and they even asked about Madam's head.

The lady's residence was sold with General Wen's help, so I gave up now, otherwise, I'm afraid I would really have to find out the young master's yard!"

Xiao Jiwei's eyes narrowed: "What did you say? Pingluo Village?"

"Yes!" Chun Sheng responded, "Normally, my wife has been dead for decades, so I shouldn't have been able to find her. I don't know where the imperial guard got the information from, but they actually found out about the person with the horn."

Fortunately, Mr. Rao did not go out after learning the news, otherwise, if he went to collect soil from Madam's tomb as planned, he would probably be exposed!"

Xiao Jiwei's eyes were filled with doubts and uncertainty, with a faint light of shock shining through.

Chunsheng felt strange: "Does the young master know the reason?"

Xiao Jiwei looked at the millet porridge held in Chunsheng's hand.

He remembered that at the hunting ground that day, the woman also accurately found Zhang Yuan's daughter. Although he was not present at the time, Gu Yun described it to him vividly afterwards, almost praising his cousin as a god.

People say she can tell fortunes.

Naturally, Xiao Jiwei didn't believe in the fortune-telling theory.

But thinking about this journey, since she was fished out of the lake that day, her whole temperament has indeed changed drastically. Although she is still grumpy, every time she gets angry, it seems that she is provoked by him. In other words, regardless of being provoked by him,

When she is angry, this young lady's temper is actually very different from before, especially this time.

If it was Wen Xun'er from before, let alone him, even if Wen Ruhai was lying here, she might not have the patience, not to mention that it lasted nearly two hours!

"Have you ever heard of a dead body being resurrected?"

"Bringing a corpse back to life?" Chun Sheng shrank his neck and felt a chill on his back, "Sir, why did you suddenly mention this? Those are all Ming Dynasty's statements, they are not credible!"

It was indeed unbelievable, but while Xiao Jiwei was reading with him, while tidying up Gu Yun's desk, he accidentally turned over a book, and there was an article in it that mentioned the method of resurrecting the soul through borrowed corpses.

At that time, I just glanced at it accidentally and didn't believe it, so I didn't take it to heart. But today, when I compare the Wen Xun'er in front of me with the Wen Xun'er in the past, this idea becomes more and more intense!

But even if he was resurrected from a dead body, how could he possibly know that he was afraid of mice?

Speaking of his fear of mice, this incident can be traced back to when Yu Tang died.

Before Wen Ruhai found him, he lived a life of a beggar. At that time, he slept in a broken house with rats everywhere. But at that time, he was still young and not afraid, until one night, he woke up in the middle of the night.

, saw another little beggar in the same room being chewed up beyond recognition by rats, and his flesh and blood were mutilated. There was also thunder and lightning lighting up the outside, and he could clearly see the little beggar’s exposed bones with rats lying on them.

, I was immediately frightened.

Many years have passed, and although he has come out of the original shadow, he still cannot let go of the mouse.

But he had never told anyone about this. Except for himself, no one in the world knew about it. So how did Wen Xun'er know that he was afraid of mice?

"It's broken!" Xiao Jiwei didn't know what he thought of. He hurriedly put on his clothes and tried to get up. However, he was too weak and fell back, sweating all over.

"Sir, what are you doing? You need to take good care of yourself like this!" Chun Sheng supported him.

Xiao Jiwei grabbed Chunsheng's arm: "Chunsheng, go back to the imperial city quickly and ask Lord Rao and others to change places!"

Since she even knew that he was afraid of mice, maybe that house was no longer a secret!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiwei's face turned pale.

Shen Wei came back after handing over the matters. As soon as he returned home, he saw a woman wearing a black cloak standing on the corridor of the living room.

The housekeeper came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Wen has been waiting for you for more than an hour!"

Shen Wei looked at the dim sky and felt guilty: "Sorry, I didn't know you were here."

Wen Xun'er came up to him: "I should say sorry for bothering General Shen again. I came here to ask General Shen if there was any progress in the previous matter?"

"Go in and talk."

Shen Wei led her into the room and asked his servants to make tea before telling her the results of the past few days.

"Didn't you find anything suspicious?" Wen Xun'er asked.

Shen Wei shook his head: "There are only a dozen or so houses in Pingluo Village. My people searched them one by one and found nothing suspicious. But why didn't you say before that your Wen family's house was there?"

"The Wen family's residence?"

Wen Xun'er was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered this plot: Wen Ruhai wanted to give Xiao Jiwei some money by selling his house, so he lied to him that the house was sold.

But in fact, the person who bought the house at that time was just a passerby, and the people behind it were still the Wen family!
