I'm here to find my son

Ever since Huanxi could walk, Nan Zimu didn't like to get out of bed even more. Except for the necessary daily sword practice and going to the bathroom, he either lay in bed to sleep or wrote on the wooden table next to his bed.

But recently, the fire umbrellas are high and the heat is fumigated. Even if there is a big ice cube brought by Li Xingzhi in the room, Nan Zimu can't stay on the bed anymore.

He recruited Wang Dahu, and while shaking his fan depressedly, he said, "Can you and Hongyu know some spells that can relieve the heat, such as freezing my room all at once?"

"..." Wang Dahu said with a smile, "Sir, are you dreaming? This kind of spell does not match the attributes of Hongyu and me. Besides, even if we know how to freeze the house, you will be frozen when you walk in." .”

"I can't live anymore. How can I live in such hot weather? I'm lying motionless in bed, sweating, and mosquitoes buzzing in my ears from time to time." Nanzi, who hadn't slept well for several days Mu wearily walked out of the door, throwing the fan to Wang Dahu to fan him while walking.

"It's not good, it's not good! The little prince fell into the koi pond!" Xiao Zhen hurried in to grab Nan Zimu's hand, and hurriedly said, "My lord, follow me to have a look."

Nan Zimu glanced at Xiao Zhen, who had the word "panic" written all over her body, and calmly threw Wang Dahu's fan to him: "You slap the left side, it's almost burning me to death, don't be so impatient, I saw You just want to sweat—in which carp pond are you happy?"

"It's not far away, my lord, don't be so leisurely, the prince has floated up from the water..." Xiao Zhen was so anxious that she was sweating all over her body.

Nan Zimu imagined the scene for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Really? Then let's go and have a look."

Xiao Zhen: "My lord, you still laugh, those who fell in are happy!"

"It's just a small pond, it won't drown him, and soaking in it for a while will relieve the heat—let's go, Dumb, let's go and see the excitement." Nanzimu walked towards the carp pond with great interest .

Xiaozhen: This mother is really a real father...

Nan Zimu came late, the joy in the pond had already been fished out, and piles of servants surrounded him, forming an impenetrable wall.

"Stay back, Mr. Nan is here." Xiao Zhen stepped forward and said.

Nan Zimu felt dizzy when he saw this messy crowd, and ordered: "Let them do what they should, they are all gathered here, it's so hot."

The servants who heard his words quickly backed away a few steps, but they dared not leave for a long time, fearing that something serious would happen to Xiao Huanxi, and they would not even think about it.

While speaking, Huanxi woke up faintly, and then spit out a few more saliva, his eyes turned back and forth, and finally stopped on Nan Zimu, Huanxi quickly seized the opportunity and said coquettishly: "Father... "

Hearing Xiao Huanxi's pitiful little milk voice, Nan Zimu's heart softened a little. He stepped forward, squatted down again, poked the two lotus root in Huanxi's hand, and asked, "Is this... lotus root?" ?”

The servant on one side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he could only pretend to be serious and replied: "Yes, when the son was fished up, he was holding on to these two lotus root joints tightly in his hand, presumably he fell into the water accidentally just now. , in a hurry to grab randomly."

"Is it so urgent that you can dig out two lotus roots?" Nanzi Mu couldn't help laughing, then threw the two lotus roots in Huanxi's hand to Xiao Zhen, and ordered unhurriedly, "Send the lotus roots to the kitchen, Let them make some lotus root flour cakes to subdue joy and surprise."

Crowd: ...

Lord Hou stayed in the palace for a long time. When he came back at noon, he heard the news of Huanxi falling into the water at the gate of the mansion. Although Li Xingzhi was not as calm as Nan Zimu, he knew that his family's happiness was unusual, so he didn't do it on the spot. fry.

"How is Joy now?"

"Back to Lord Hou, the son is fine now, and he is currently taking a nap in Mr. Nan's room." A servant girl replied, and incidentally mentioned what happened after Huanxi fell into the water.

After she finished speaking, Li Xingzhi briefly clarified the matter, which probably means that after Huanxi fell into the water, when he was fished out by the servants, he was still holding two lotus roots, and Nan Zimu ordered the kitchen to make the lotus root It became lotus root flour cake.

Lord Hou couldn't help laughing.

Immediately afterwards he asked: "Have you told the Crown Princess about this?"

"No, I would like to follow Lord Hou's order, and nothing in the mansion should be laborious for the Crown Princess Concubine and Mr. Nan."

Li Xingzhi nodded, and changed back to that cold face: "The princess is seriously ill. Tell her about it, but it just makes her worry and sad. Let the servants in the mansion spread the word, don't tell her I told the princess about it."

The maid nodded.

Weishi is the most unbearable hot spot, even the cicadas singing on the trees are weak and weak, and finally only three or two are still struggling to sing.

Huanxi was sweating while sleeping on the bed, tossing and turning in the heat, and even got a red envelope bitten on her face.Nan Zimu carried half a watermelon, and sat cross-legged on the bed, and there was a circle of large ice cubes next to the bed to cool off the heat.

"You enjoy it." Li Xingzhi stepped in, handed the things in his hand to Nan Zimu, and continued, "This is the mung bean cold cake made by the imperial dining room. You said you wanted to eat mung bean cake yesterday. The ones made by the masters in the palace are the most palatable, so I specially asked them to make them for you to taste."

Nan Zimu put the watermelon aside and began to unpack the paper bag.

Because the weather is too hot, Nan Zimu's clothes are loose and unrestrained, with the neckline stretched out.At this moment, he lowered his head to open the paper bag, and the clothes inevitably opened up even more.

Li Xingzhi really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and bowed slightly, and gathered Nan Zimu's skirt.

"No matter how hot the weather is, you have to wear your clothes honestly. There are more ice cubes here than in the Emperor's Palace. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Nanzi Muquan thought he was farting, then leaned on the head of the bed as if he had no bones, threw a piece of cold cake into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it in two bites: "It's okay if I can catch the cold, anyway, I don't feel anything coolness."

Li Xingzhi stepped over the basin of ice cubes, sat on the side of the bed, stared at Huanxi's chubby face for a while, couldn't help but pinch it, and then turned his head to ask Nan Zimu contentedly : "How did he get bitten like this by mosquitoes?"

"Hmm... Maybe it's because the meat attracts mosquitoes." Nan Zimu said seriously.

"..."

"Why did you let Huanxi sleep in your bed today?" Li Xingzhi asked doubtfully.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently. Nan Zimu was originally a person who was afraid of heat, but when Xiao Huanxi fell asleep, she felt like a ball of fire, and stuck it in Nan Zimu's arms. The latter couldn't sleep because of the heat.So he drove Huanxi to another small bed to sleep.

Nanzi replied indifferently: "There are a lot of mosquitoes recently, and Huanxi attracts mosquitoes more. Once he lies on my bed, almost no mosquitoes will come to provoke me."

Listen carefully, there is a little complacency in Nan Zimu's tone.

Li Xingzhi: ...

Using his son to repel mosquitoes, Nan Zimu is probably the No. 1 in all ages.

Nan Zimu's voice paused, and he withdrew his unserious expression, and said seriously, "How much did that Marquis of Pingyang spit out?"

"He is more difficult to deal with than I imagined. He has been tortured for almost half a month, but he still refuses to recruit." Li Xingzhi curled his lips, "But most people can't survive this half month."

The harsh torture in the Hou Ye Mansion is not considered severe torture. It would be more appropriate to say that it is a gradual process. First, it is like ten thousand ants devouring blood, bit by bit every skin on his body, gradually breaking through the defense line in his heart, and then step by step. Let him speak the truth unconsciously.

Although the process took a long time, this method of interrogation has been tried and tested.

"Master Hou." Song Ci hurried over and stood at the door, "Something went wrong."

Li Xingzhi "shushed" and said, "Keep your voice down, Huanxi is still sleeping. What's wrong?"

Song Ci: "Just now, Xiaozhen and I went to deliver food to Marquis Pingyang, but we went into the darkroom and found...Marquis Pingyang had died of poison."

"What?" Nan Zimu and Li Xingzhi said in unison.

Huanxi was uncomfortable being bitten by mosquitoes, so he didn't sleep deeply, and would be woken up by their exclamation, he dazedly grabbed the mosquito bag on his arm: "Daddy, hug..."

Although Xiao Huanxi is not very afraid of water, a child who falls into the water will inevitably be frightened. At that time, he choked up a few sips of water and rolled a few tears. Now he just wants to take advantage of the remaining warmth of Nan Zimu's love for him, and act coquettishly again.

"No, it's too hot." Nan Zimu pushed the remaining cakes in front of Xiao Huanxi, and said while putting on his shoes, "You stay on the bed for a while, daddy goes out for a while, and I'll be right back to accompany you."

The delicate baby Huanxi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the saliva from his nap just now, then he nodded obediently, and did not forget to talk about the conditions: "Father, when you come back, I will hug you."

"Yes." Nan Zimu responded perfunctorily, and immediately rushed to the darkroom with Li Xingzhi.

"Are you sure the death was caused by poisoning?" Nan Zimu spoke extremely fast, not as lazy as before, "Hongyu, go and have a look."

Hongyu knelt down and rolled Pingyanghou's eyelids, then squeezed his mouth, and then took out a magic-enhanced silver needle and stabbed it at his throat. When she took it out again, the silver needle was black-gray .

"It was indeed poisoned to death. The color of the silver needle is not black, which means that the poison was injected not long ago, so it has not yet penetrated into the flesh and blood."

Li Xingzhi frowned and said, "Before he entered here, he was stripped naked, and he was checked carefully again. It is impossible for him to carry murder weapons and drugs."

Song Ci asked: "I have heard that many dead men hid their diapers behind their teeth, and after being captured alive, they bit their diapers and killed themselves."

Li Xingzhi looked at him like a fool and gave him a blank look: "You mean this bastard has kept his mouth in his mouth for almost half a month? Why is it so powerful that he can keep it in his mouth for half a month?"

"More than that, if he wants to commit suicide, it's because he won't be able to live half a month ago. Why did he commit suicide until now? It doesn't make sense." Nan Zimu calmly narrated, "Besides, I personally think that Pingyang Hou is a coward, he can't commit suicide."

Li Xingzhi said: "Indeed, Marquis Pingyang is not a person who is not afraid of death. His delay in telling the truth can only show that the crime he committed is so great that he will die if he speaks out. To survive for a while. Such a person...should not have the guts to commit suicide by taking poison."
