Chapter 412 Master, please rest early, servant should rest early
Chapter 412 Master, please rest early, servant should rest early
Leng Xian was helped into the house by Zhongshun.
He did not lie down on the bed again, but raised his hand slightly and pointed to the chair beside him.
Zhongshun understood and helped Leng Xian to sit on the chair, while he took two steps away and stood by with his hands hanging down.
Leng Xian didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the ground.
Without the master's instructions, Zhongshun did not dare to leave without permission;
But... facing the lifeless master in front of him, Zhongshun didn't even dare to breathe freely, and only felt extremely suffocated.
The room was dead silent.
It must have been a long time, Zhongshun only felt that his legs were sore from standing, and then he heard Leng Xian ask him, "Zhongshun, what do you think...the emperor ordered me to attend court tomorrow...what could it be about?
Leng Xian really can't think of it...
He was feeling nervous and there was no one around to talk to, so he asked his servant Zhongshun.
Zhongshun was startled by Leng Xian's question and said tremblingly, "My Lord, the Emperor... How can I know what the Emperor is thinking?"
Leng Xian turned his head to look at Zhongshun, then smiled self-deprecatingly.
Leng Xian wondered, was he stupid?
If you ask a servant about this kind of thing, it would be strange if he gets an answer!
Leng Xian waved his hand, signaling Zhongshun to leave.
Zhongshun bowed as if he had been pardoned, then hurried out of the house.
In fact, Leng Xian had already thought of many possibilities just now.
But he couldn't get any confirmation.
Thinking on the bright side... uh... Leng Xian really didn't dare to think about it;
Could it be that the thief who robbed Kong Qinxinghou’s mansion has a clue?
But... even if the thief has a clue, wouldn't it be enough for Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong to tell me?
Is it necessary for the emperor to specially summon me to the court and then tell me in person?
Or maybe... the emperor knows that the Marquis's Mansion is in a difficult situation... and wants to help me?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Leng Xian slapped it away!
impossible!
If the emperor wanted to help me, there would be no need to go through so much trouble!
If the Emperor can send the eunuch Xiao Dongzi to deliver his oral instructions, why can't he let him bring some gold and silver items along as well?
Besides, the incident happened several days ago. If the emperor wanted to help me, why would he have to wait until tomorrow?
It is also unlikely that it is for the marriage between Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu and his own daughter.
Let’s not talk about it first. Yue’er is still four or five months away from her coming of age.
Take the Emperor for example. Apart from the time when he wrote the imperial edict granting marriage while drunk at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, he never mentioned anything about the marriage to me again!
In the morning court sessions after that, the emperor still didn't even bother to look at him;
There is no such thing as a matchmaker, betrothal gift, three letters and six ceremonies, small or big betrothal gifts... There is not even a shadow of it!
Thinking of the betrothal gift, Leng Xian couldn't help but sigh, "Alas!
If it were now... the Emperor would send Yue'er's betrothal gift!
The Marquis’ Mansion will no longer have to worry about food and drink, or anything else!
well! "
Leng Xian sighed twice and shook his head...
how could it be possible!
Not to mention that it is impossible to send the betrothal gift to Yue Er now...
Even regarding Fu Baozhen’s dowry, the emperor had ordered Shuntian Prefecture to conduct a thorough investigation and recover it!
If the emperor summoned him to court tomorrow because of his children's marriages, Leng Xian really didn't dare to think about it!
But if you think of the worst...
Leng Xian felt even more scared!
I missed the morning court twice, the emperor was angry and wanted to punish me -
The first time, I will be caned ten times; the next time, I will be caned twenty times!
Could it be that the emperor was so angry that he couldn't wait for me to recover from my injuries and wanted to beat me with a stick?
Thinking of this, Leng Xian shuddered.
I kept praying in my heart:
God bless!
God bless!
Don't ever, ever!
There are thirty strokes in total, how can I bear it?
Leng Xian’s butt seemed to be starting to hurt!
Next, Leng Xian was always entangled in one thing——
Why will the Emperor look for me at the court tomorrow morning?
How will you treat yourself?
Although I can't get a definite result after thinking about it, I still can't help but think and guess...
Leng Xian was still struggling with this issue until it was time to light the lamps.
Leng Xian, who was full of worries, stared blankly for a long time at the porridge and pickles brought by Zhongshun...
It's just porridge and pickles again...
Have you been eating only porridge and pickles for several days?
Leng Xian suddenly thought subconsciously...
Will I only have porridge and pickles to eat from now on?
Those delicious foods in my memory...did they all appear in my dreams?
The bland porridge, coupled with my upset mood, made me lose my appetite.
"Put it on the table, and get down!
You don't need to wait on me here!" Leng Xian ordered weakly.
"Yes, my lord!
Then the younger one will take his leave!
After dinner, go to bed early, as you have to attend court early tomorrow morning!"
After Zhongshun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, closing the door.
Outside the house, Zhongshun looked up at the sky and let out a long breath.
Another tough day has passed!
Today, the Marquis went to bed early.
If the Marquis rests early, I can rest early too.
Since the Marquis said that there is no need to serve here, I might as well go back to my room.
My little house has been occupied by the Marquis for several days!
Today I can finally go back to bed and sleep!
Get a good sleep tonight because you have to get up early tomorrow and follow the Marquis to the palace.
At that time, Liu Da went out to buy meat buns and brought back a few for himself.
I had already eaten my fill, and I drank a cup of tea in Liu's house, which was enough!
I can have a good sleep tonight!
I told the night watchwoman to wake me up tomorrow morning to avoid any delay.
Zhongshun turned a corner and went to the toilet, thinking that he could clean his intestines so that he could sleep more comfortably.
As soon as he arrived outside his hut, Zhongshun faintly smelled a foul odor. The smell... kept drilling into his nose.
