Ps: It’s a long chapter, so the update is a little late. I’m not sure if there will be a second chapter. If there is, you can check it out tomorrow morning. I’m trying to adjust my work and rest schedule.
Chapter 660: Queen: Tell me my name from now on!
The first time they met was in Lingqi Pavilion. Su Changan was sitting in the hall, watching the young man carrying flower pots.
Now that they meet again, it's not that things have changed or people have changed, but times have changed and both of them have changed.
Su Changan looked at Lu Cai who came to the gate of the courtyard and knelt on the ground and kowtowed when he saw him. This scene was exactly the same as before.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you before, that you don't have to kneel down to me when you see me?"
Lu Cai stood up with the help of Yan Ruyu. He was still shy and looked at Su Changan somewhat embarrassedly.
There is no reason not to kneel. Lu Cai pays his respects to the person in front of him in his heart every day. Now that he finally comes back to see him in person, there is no way he can not kneel.
But after the ceremony, Lu Cai didn't know what to say. Mainly because he had come back and it seemed like he had already said everything.
Lu Cai knew everything about Su Changan. After all, there were rumors everywhere in the world. But he didn't expect that the queen's hair would become so white. She was obviously fine before. But there was no need to think too much about these things.
However, looking at the Queen's smiling face, Lu Cai lowered his head and blushed again. Unlike the embarrassment just now, at this moment Lu Cai returned to the child he was half a year ago. At that time, he was shy when he saw Su Changan.
Su Changan looked at Lu Cai, smiled and joked: "After traveling around the martial arts world, I heard that you have learned everything about drinking and killing?"
Lu Cai was a little flustered. He looked up at Su Changan and shook his head quickly: "No, no, that's it, that's it."
Lu Cai was very flustered. Not only did he drink and kill people, he also learned a lot of things, but none of them could be shown in front of the Empress.
While everyone was looking at Lu Cai, Xun Xia and others were actually a little surprised when they saw Lu Cai for the first time. After all, he was so childish and looked aggrieved and pitiful before, but now he was like a different person.
Although they knew from Yan Ruyu and Lian Wei that Lu Cai had done a lot of things outside and a lot of things had happened, this change was too big.
Until I saw Lu Cai's blushing face and his helpless look when the Empress joked with him, no matter how things changed, this point remained unchanged.
But at this time.
Everyone looked stunned.
I saw a small black snake appearing from Lu Cai's collar. The black snake was as thick as a finger, with a golden tongue, and the thin golden line on its body was particularly conspicuous.
Seeing the snake, Shentu Kuyue was startled, and jumped to Lu Cai's side, looking at the snake carefully, and then tilted her head to look at Lu Cai: "How did that old man's treasure end up in your hands?"
After saying that, Shentu Kuyue suddenly showed a look of realization on his face, and his left hand hit the palm of his right hand: "That's right, you little kid went to Raojiang Jinsi Village, so he must have given it to you. Otherwise, let alone others taking it away, even if they touch it, that old poisoner will go crazy, and your skills are very similar to his. Wait a minute, that old coward can still accept disciples? My goodness, this must scare the people in the martial arts world, and from this point of view, you kid, aren't you the next leader of the Guxian Sect? Eh? Pull me to do it?"
Just as Shentu Kuyue started talking to himself and acting crazy again, Shentu Sheyue took his master aside.
Shentu Sheyue looked at Su Changan with embarrassment, then lowered her head to look at her master, "The master and servant are reunited after a long separation, could you please stop talking?"
Everyone in the courtyard was used to Shentu Kuyue's sudden habit of talking to herself, so they didn't care. They just looked at Lu Cai's snake, feeling curious and a little scared at the same time.
Aunt Sun frowned even more, looked at Su Changan, but didn't say anything in the end.
After all, it is in the palace. It doesn't matter if it's cats and dogs, but Aunt Sun has to be concerned about snakes and the like.
Lu Cai looked at everyone in Lingqi Pavilion, especially at Su Changan: "My queen, it doesn't bite people, and it won't go anywhere except by my side."
Shentu Kuyue nodded: "That's right, it's a Gu after all. If it's too far away from the little kid, it will die immediately. And that old poison... um~~"
Shentu Sheyue covered Shentu Kuyue's mouth, then looked at her master with a pleading face, begging her not to say anything unnecessary, why are you talking so much.
Lu Cai looked at Shentu Kuyue respectfully, then looked at Su Changan and Aunt Sun, "If that doesn't work, I..."
Just as she was about to speak, Maomao couldn't help herself and said, "Give it to me!"
Having said this, the cat, with saliva visibly at the corner of its mouth, stood up and walked towards Lu Cai.
However, he had only taken two steps when Su Changan grabbed him by the collar.
Ruyan Ruyu, Lian Wei, Sheyue and others didn't feel anything when they saw the snake, at most they were just curious.
Aunt Sun, Xun Xia and the others were a little worried. It wasn't because of Lu Cai, but mainly because a snake was brought into the palace, so they had to worry about the safety of the Queen and His Majesty.
But here is the cat.
Ever since she saw Lu Cai, Maomao has been looking at him expressionlessly. In fact, she was enduring it because she could smell poisonous weeds!
Until the snake came out, the cat couldn't help it anymore. Its ears stood up all of a sudden, its eyes turned into vertical pupils, and its tail also stood up all of a sudden.
good smell!
The smell from that snake is more fragrant than that of the previous Gu King!
After hearing Shentu Kuyue's words.
The cat stood up immediately, unable to bear it any longer, so it stared at the little snake, swallowing its saliva, and walked towards it.
Everyone saw the Queen Mother grab Maomao by the collar.
Naturally, he also saw the man drooling and clearly wanting the snake.
People really cannot understand why cats like to eat poison to make medicine for people.
And now, could it be that Maomao wants to eat snake soup?
Maomao was unable to move, and immediately turned around and looked at Su Changan unhappily: "That snake is very dangerous, I will help you."
At this point, Su Changan said mercilessly: "No need."
The cat immediately said: "It's poisonous!"
Su Changan replied: "It's okay."
Cat: “It”
Su Changan spoke again: "Stay well."
Maomao puffed up his cheeks all of a sudden, crossed his arms over his chest, and couldn't break free from Su Changan's grip on his collar. He could only stare angrily, drooling at the snake.
Su Changan ignored Maomao. He had been prepared for this before Lu Cai came back. Besides, if Maomao asked, Lu Cai would definitely give it to him directly. This was not possible. According to Aunt Yan, this little snake was related to Lu Cai's end point. This was a big deal.
After all, Lu Cai now not only inherits Song En's inheritance, but also seems to have inherited the inheritance of the leader of the Guxian Sect, which has a very different meaning.
Looking at Lu Cai, Su Changan said, "These are all trivial matters. Besides, Li Heng came back with you. If he is fine after such a long time, then it's okay. Besides, I heard Aunt Yan talk about some of your connections with this snake, and His Majesty also knows about it."
Su Changan heard Yan Yunxiao mention this snake, so he knew that the snake had some kind of Gu connection with Lu Cai. It can be said that as long as Lu Cai doesn't want to, the snake will not attack anyone. The reason why he said this was also for Aunt Sun, Xuan Xia and others to hear, firstly to reassure them, and secondly for
But at the same time, Su Changan waved his hand towards Lu Cai: "How long are you going to stand at the door?"
Hearing this, Lu Cai lowered his head and hurried in. After looking at the cat that was staring at him and swallowing its saliva, Lu Cai lowered his head even more.
The cat doesn’t care about Lu Cai, she cares about the snake!
The snake blinked its rice-sized eyes and looked at the cat, but the next moment, it suddenly became alert, as if it realized that the little girl in front of it was dangerous, and quickly drilled back into Lu Cai's clothes.
The cat had a visibly disappointed expression.
When Lu Cai saw it, he hurried to get the snake out.
However, Su Changan stopped him and told him to ignore the cat.
But looking at Lu Cai, he has grown a lot taller in the past few months. But it's normal for boys. Boys of this age always grow taller suddenly.
Mainly because of this ninth-grade strength
Su Changan felt emotional, here was another person who resembled the protagonist.
He follows a horizontal training method, but in a different way. He does not train his body but relies on poison, which is somewhat peculiar.
And
Su Changan blinked, reached out and grabbed Lu Cai's chin, then looked carefully at Lu Cai now. What can I say, she has become so handsome. If she puts on some makeup and changes her clothes, she will definitely be a beauty.
Find some time to try it. I can’t be the only one wearing women’s clothes.
Su Changan was thinking about this, but Lu Cai's face turned even redder and he grabbed his sleeve nervously.
Lu Cai, the "Blood Silkworm" who is well-known in the martial arts world for his killings and who was able to survive the siege of the Kuhan Sect's Grandmaster Zhijing and his men, is very nervous now!
Su Changan sighed in his heart. It was a pity that the boy was a eunuch, otherwise he would definitely help him find a good woman.
Su Chang'an was actually very idle these two days, mainly because he couldn't leave Lingqi Pavilion. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Aunt Sun immediately stopped him. No one came to him for work. Every day when he was idle, he either rolled around on the floor, or asked Lian Wei, Ruyu, Sheyue and others to inquire about gossip in the capital, or wrote poems or something.
There is a content in the gossip about Zhao Huniu and Xia Yaomo. Zhao Huniu can come and go freely, but the number of secret guards in the dark has doubled. However, Zhao Huniu does not run around. She goes to Prince An's Mansion when she has nothing to do, under the pretext of "making Xia Yaomo realize that she is also a woman and let him admit that she is herself."
But this made Su Changan feel very familiar. This is how normal romance dramas are played out.
So Su Changan began to think whether he was born a matchmaker. He managed to bring together the two most difficult people in the capital. As a result, he became a little obsessed with being a matchmaker. At that moment, he placed a few pages of paper on the low table. On them were the information of the girls and men who were waiting to be married in the families of the ministers in the capital.
Taking his hand back, Su Changan smiled and said, "You've grown up."
Lu Cai lowered his head in embarrassment and felt relieved. If he continued to be stared at by the empress like this, he felt like his legs would go weak.
But at this time, Lu remembered something and hurriedly took out a letter from his chest.
Su Changan noticed that the letter was placed inside the lining, so when Lu Cai took the letter, some scars were exposed. Su Changan saw it but did not say anything.
Instead, he looked at the letter.
Lu Cai immediately said, "When I was in Raojiang, I not only met the Fourth Young Master, but also Prince Yue. He asked me to give this letter to His Majesty and you."
Su Changan was surprised, looking at the letter with the wax intact, "King of Yue?"
Lu Cai nodded: "The King of Yue got into trouble in Raojiang and was hunted by the Guxian Cult. He fled to Jinsi Village. The situation was not resolved until that senior showed up. After the two of them talked for a while, the King of Yue met me. I don't know how he knew about me, but he asked me to give this letter to Your Majesty and Your Majesty, and said that he had found the way to Twelve Caves and asked me to wait for him to come back."
Su Changan felt helpless when he heard these words, but he took the letter and looked at Aunt Sun, asking her to hand the letter to His Majesty who was holding a small court meeting in the imperial study.
Aunt Sun knew the importance of this matter and nodded and left immediately.
Although Su Changan was curious about what his second brother had done and why he was followed wherever he went, he thought that it must be because he was looking for the matter of Twelve Caves.
After all, when he left, he vowed to bring that big brother back to the capital.
But at this time, Lu Cai took out a small medicine bottle from his arms.
He still took it out from the lining. It was obvious that he cherished it very much, so he carried it close to his body. And he took out not just one bottle, but two bottles in succession.
Then, he looked at Su Changan and became a little timid, but finally said, "My Lady, I brought this back for you."
Su Changan took the two small bottles and looked at Lu Cai.
Lu Cai said, "When I was in Jinsi Village, the village chief gave me this. He said it was very rare. It was made by grinding up the bodies of dead golden silkworms and mixing them with other medicinal herbs. It can be applied on the face. It's very good for the skin. I don't really understand it, but I said it was for women, so they gave it to me. Miss Youli also said there were only a few of them in the whole of Raojiang. I asked someone to try it, and it's not poisonous and it really works."
After saying that, Lu Cai secretly glanced at Su Changan, fearing that Su Changan would dislike him.
