Mu Xi watched the guards bow respectfully and leave, and returned to the inner room safely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Go ahead," she said lightly.
"Ah, master, what are you talking about?" Ji Xiang was closing the door in the living room, and when he heard Mu Xi's command, he hurriedly asked.
Mu Xi listened carefully, the sound of "Xixisuo" on the roof beam, smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Jixiang standing in front of him suspiciously.
"I mean, you go and rest, you're tired all day. Mu Xi said gently.
"Hey, when the master sleeps, I go to sleep, it's cold, I warm a brick for the master and put it on the bed, I went to get it back first......"
"When did you use hot bricks?Then, in a few days, in the depths of winter, how do you tell me to cope with the past?" Mu Xi was shocked and disgusted.
"I see the master's face a little pale today, or these days are not lightly scared, a warm sleep, the most able to suppress the shock, winter and winter, live well today and then tomorrow, I don't want to be so much, the master's body is good, I have a good life, I am auspicious and look forward to the master to live a good life, so that good people have good rewards......"
"Did you eat something today? I didn't find you able to say this before, what's wrong today?" Mu Xi asked puzzled.
Seeing Jixiang take out the bricks wrapped in cloth from the futon and put them on the table, and come over to help her untie her clothes, Mu Xi glanced over, but saw that Jixiang's eyes were filled with tears.
"What the hell is wrong with you? If you have something to say, don't hide it like that. Mu Xi asked angrily.
Ji Xiang tears flowed first, bowing his head to avoid Mu Xi's gaze, "Master, in fact, my real master is the prince of Jinglu, who arranged for me to take care of you by your side, and report your every move to him at any time." β
Mu Xi smiled with relief, sat on the edge of the bed, touched the warm bedding, and responded indifferently, "I know, didn't you tell me these a long time ago? I didn't have the heart to guard against you, it's just that you are still young, and there are some bloody and vicious scenes, and you can't accept it." β
Jixiang suddenly knelt on the ground and swallowed a few times, "I took Li Wan's money"
Mu Xi's hand touching the quilt suddenly stopped, "Now, why did you suddenly recognize this?"
"Master, I, you are a good person, the prince is not thin to me, you are even better to me than the prince, especially to the witch doctor who harmed you, you actually protect him, I don't know who Li Wan is, but, since you are a good person, then if you want to spy on you, it should be a bad person, I didn't know before, but now I know, auspicious don't say it, I can't sleep, you haven't come back these days, I thought I killed you, I was scared to death, I thought I couldn't live, killed the Bodhisattva, God will definitely come to clean me up, I don't dare to go out, I'm afraid that a thunder will come down and kill meγ β
Mu Xi sat down and calmly asked Ji Xiang, who was still chattering on the ground, "How did Li Wan find you, and what do you want you to do?"
"It's a guard, a few days ago, the day after I arrived here, the guard gave me these copper coins while you and the others were away, and told me to report your matter to him at any time, and he would come to me every three days, and give me money on a per-time basis, and if the news was important, a heavy reward. β
Mu Xi watched Ji Xiang take out the money from his arms and put it on the ground, "Has that guard come to you in the past few days?"
"Yes, once every three days, it is all in the window joint outside the kitchen, after dinner, every time I come to me when I wash the dishes in front of the window, the most recent one is last night, because you did not come back, so, I have no news to him, so I only gave three copper plates. β
Mu Xi listened to the auspicious words, but felt a lot more relieved in his heart, according to Li Wan's style, this is normal, it is that he has always been too kind and does not know how to take precautions, in fact, he has never been out of Li Wan's sight.
Think about it, not to mention Li Wan, now, there are still Princess Taiping's guards by her side, Yu Lang's personal soldiers came at night, and there are many soldiers of the prince of Jinglu who are outside the door day and night, just now, I also ordered Nan Xue to mix in these guards.
A small courtyard, where many forces are entangled, must be broken as soon as possible, otherwise, there will inevitably be a day when a spark will be encountered.
Mu Xi calmly looked at the bright moon outside the window, and her heart seemed to be so transparent and clear, now she is not alone.
She smiled indifferently, "Okay, I know, this money is what you deserve, you put it away, and in the future, find a good family to dowry." β
"Ah, that's it, master, when the guard comes again, what will I say?Master, don't you hate me, I betrayed you, auspicious, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, I don't have the face to see you, but I especially want to be in your heart, and I can't bear the master, the master, the master......"
Ji Xiang kept saying with tears in her eyes, Mu Xi interrupted softly, and looked at her gently, "Get up, I don't blame you, since you can tell me this, it means that you still haven't betrayed me, and when that guard comes again, you will tell the truth, don't hide it, don't bring you unnecessary danger." β
"Master, at this time, you are still thinking about me, you see that there are hundreds of guards inside and outside our courtyard, you are a weak woman, what kind of people are guarded, aren't you afraid?"
Mu Xi calmly lifted Ji Xiang up, "What are you afraid of, the more people there are, the more it means that no one is outside, at least, with these people, there will be no beasts coming." β
"Master, I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Okay, put the money away, it's best to bury it in the ground, it's safer, this is also your rare savings in the future, pack it up, go to sleep, since you know that the situation here is dangerous, you have to learn how not to be discovered, learn to do things behind people's backs. β
Mu Xi sent it gently, Jixiang insisted on taking care of Mu Xi to sleep, and when everything was cleaned up, he wrapped the copper coin in cloth and gently closed the door and went out.
Since the arrival of auspiciousness, she has insisted on sleeping outside the door of Mu Xi's inner room, pulling over the chair every day to make a small bed, and supporting Mu Xi's call at any time.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Mu Xi seemed to hear the sound of 'Xixi' on the roof beam again.
"Sister, it's me, sleep. β
Xiaoxia's voice was as light as a mosquito, Mu Xi could only hear the end note, she was also very sleepy, and after a little distinction between the truth and falsehood of the voice, she was sure that Xiaoxia was correct, so she fell asleep deeply.
The morning sun shone warmly on Mu Xi's body, and when he opened his eyes, Ji Xiang was sitting at the table mending his clothes.
"Master, wake up, get up quickly, the colt has been outside the door for a long time. β
"Then why didn't you wake me up in time? Let the horse wait outside, do you want me to be punished?" Mu Xi hurriedly got up and tidied up, blaming Ji Xiang.
"It was the colt who said that you should rest more when you were frightened, and didn't let me wake up, besides, how could anyone come to someone's house so early, and it was not yet hour!"
"It's still hard-mouthed, this is to meet a concubine with a good temper, if Princess Taiping comes, you treat it like this, you have already made grass fertilizer at this time!
"Yes" Ji Xiang saw Mu Xi slightly angry, bowed his head and agreed, "You dress thicker, the colt said that he wanted to invite you to treat his mother." β
