Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The typical remember eating but not playing.

Xia Bai'an secretly labeled Li Chen this, and took a sip of the warm tea.

"That's just a trick to escape. I heard Senior Tao say that the prince also hurt his arm."

"You care about me, but you even inquired about it?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"As an imperial physician, I naturally care about you, my lord. It's just that I still don't understand one thing. Can I get an answer from my lord?"

"Ah."

Li Chen called the waiter, and ordered some fruit cakes and side dishes.

After the shop waiter left, Xia Bai'an said seriously: "The prince only wanted to send someone to the Forbidden Army Garden, let alone know that I often come to the Forbidden Army Garden... Dare I ask the prince, are you staring at me in secret? ?”

She never expected Xia Bai'an to ask such a straightforward question.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with a smile.

"If you say, this king is indeed curious about your actions?"

"It's just a little imperial doctor. Although my name is in the imperial hospital, the rules in the imperial hospital are almost not for me to abide by. It can be said to be a vase. As far as the prince is concerned, is there any benefit to watching me?" ?”

Xia Bai'an really didn't understand.

Originally, all she had to do was take care of Li Chen secretly so that the Queen Mother could feel at ease.

Li Chen should also know his identity secretly, but he didn't meet him in the open.

But he didn't mean to hide the relationship between the two at all, and even came to find himself directly.

Doesn't this leave something for people to talk about?

Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't answer her question at all. Instead, he changed the topic: "Doctor Xia is extremely intelligent and skilled in medicine, so why is he willing to support Mo Che, a man from a poor family? can find better ones.”

"This is my private matter." Xia Baian frowned.

"This king is indeed asking about your personal affairs." Li Chen said again.

"..."

Why can't this prince understand the wink.

Xia Bai'an was unable to answer the conversation for a long while.

On the contrary, Li Chen continued to say: "You don't have to think about clearing your relationship with me. As early as when Concubine Degui personally brought someone here, you and I were destined to be tied. Instead of avoiding taboos everywhere, you and I She will feel more at ease if she treats each other more honestly and cooperates with each other."

This she refers to the queen mother, of course.

After Xia Bai'an heard it, he also felt that it made some sense.

"But my lord, I'm just a girl from the countryside. It doesn't matter if you don't know about this kind of private matter. I won't talk about it."

Li Chen sneered: "Could it be that your husband treated you coldly recently, which made you feel a little resentful?"

Xia Bai'an paused with his fingertips.

The waiter in the shop brought the pastries and side dishes in a timely manner. Xia Bai'an listened to Li Chen's report of the name of the dishes, but his eyes became a little more vigilant, and he completely lost the intention of eating.

But to be honest, she did have a lot of resentment in her heart.

After all, as long as she thinks that after the other party left, there will be no news, no letter from home, but official documents will not be dropped for a day, it will really make her feel lost.

Anyone who puts this on will be angry.

But being picked up by someone she didn't know very well, she felt even more uncomfortable, so she simply kept silent.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Chen said again: "However, marching has always been very difficult. I may be busy if I didn't go home. Physician Xia should not be too anxious. If there are some small things in the capital, maybe I can Can help."

Xia Bai'an raised his head: "Why did the prince help me?"

Li Chen said: "You help me, why don't you let me help you?"

Xia Bai'an smiled helplessly: "Because I use money to do things, the prince just needs to accept it. In fact, you don't need to think about helping me. If possible, I don't really want to get involved in the muddy water of the palace. It's better to stay as far away from him as possible." The better... Besides, I still have something to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and drink with the prince, so let's go first."

After Xia Bai'an finished speaking, he turned and left in a cool manner.

Li Chen looked at the pastries and side dishes on the table, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, with a bit of displeasure.

Kang Heng came from the outside, a little surprised - this table is full of dishes that women like to eat, didn't that Xia Bai'an see that the prince treats her so sincerely?

"My lord, I'm afraid she just has a bright mind, but she lacks the nerve to deal with people."

Li Chen came back to his senses and picked up his chopsticks: "Perhaps, I'm afraid it's because the dishes on this table were not well ordered. I could have chatted a little more, but after ordering the dishes, it scared people away."

The corner of Kang Heng's mouth twitched: "It's obviously a good thing to be loved by the prince."

Li Chen thought of Xia Bai'an's previous actions - it had almost nothing to do with the royal family, and it could even be said that he deliberately avoided it.

Don't ask too many questions, just do things.

I want the queen mother's protection, but I don't want to investigate the root cause.

She knows how to advance and retreat.

"This king really likes her very much." Li Chen said surprisingly, and before Kang Heng could persuade him, he made a decision on his own, "But it is a woman who is hard to get like her that is more interesting, isn't it? .”

Kang Heng was speechless.

This time, his lord must have fallen.

He had no choice but to sit down and finish the meal with Li Chen. When he returned to the mansion, Li Chen returned to his usual cold face. He was not as smiling as he was in front of Xia Bai'an, and even his voice was lowered. a lot of.

"If this king wants to get Xia Bai'an, Mo Che is too much of an eyesore. You send someone to investigate why Mo Che is already a dead man, and now, why can he climb to the position of captain."

……

Mo Che sat alone in the forest to rest.

The things Sun Minli mentioned before are still circling in his mind.

Xia Bai'an is a person who doesn't make people feel strange no matter what he does.

She has too many different ideas, and has different views on many things, even...every time she wants to do something, she will go all out to do it.

After more than a month of separation, Mo Che couldn't guarantee that everything Xia Bai'an did would meet his expectations.

Sun Minli had no reason to lie to himself.

But if this matter is serious, what is the reason for her to help Li Chen?

He couldn't figure it out at all.

His thoughts were complicated, and he didn't wait for any letter from Xia Bai'an, so he became more and more confused, so he hurriedly wrote a letter in the dark, and entrusted someone to send it to Xia Bai'an, hoping that she would give him an answer.

Fortunately, they returned to a place not far from the capital now, and they would receive a reply in about two or three days.

But two or three days later, Mo Che received Xia Bai'an's first letter from home.

The contents inside puzzled him.

——Li Chen and I are innocent, it was all fabricated by outsiders.

There is almost no silver 300 taels here.

——On the contrary, Mo Che, you are outside, but who did you meet and what did you do?

This is not something Xia Bai'an should ask.

Questions like these filled the entire paper, but Mo Che didn't see that Xia Bai'an had mentioned anything about his family, so he became more and more impatient, so he just wrote a short letter and handed it to his subordinates.

"Master Captain, please go over there."

"En." Mo Che nodded, stuffed the letter into his bag, and turned to look for someone.

Behind him, Sun Taiwei walked towards his burden.
