Chapter 188: News
"If you are so open-mouthed, you can only be wronged to stay in the firewood room!" The tone is stern and the warning is very strong.
Xia Xue'er left such a sentence before going out that was enough to frighten Zihan, which forced her to shut up obediently.
In the past two months, she has already figured out Zihan's temper and character, and it is a piece of cake to try to hold her! Zihan is a nervous person, she doesn't care about the eyes of others, she doesn't look at people's faces, and sometimes she offends people without knowing it, which is one of the reasons why she has been hunted down and killed many times before. Although she is relatively slow, she is also very timid, which can be seen from her appearance in the Livable Pavilion today.
Xia Xue'er knows very well that a person like Zihan is only suitable for being a nodding friend, not suitable for developing into a confidant, let alone a confidant, for the simple reason that she can't hide secrets! As long as there is a threat from others, in order to save her life, she can confide everything she knows! It's not that she sincerely wants to betray you, it's just that it's in her nature, and she's developed a conditioned reflex.
She had planned to keep her by her side, but now, she just wanted to give her basic survival skills, and when the time was right, she would find an excuse to set her free, and let her run wild from now on. I will help everything I can as a fellow countryman, so whether she is dead or alive in the future will have nothing to do with me, and there will be no guilt in my heart.
Fang said that, she didn't deliberately want to scare her, after all, just by scaring can't teach her reason. It's just because today's situation is special, and the disaster comes from the mouth, and everyone except Zihan understands this truth. It's not a big deal to face the old lady, but if she opens her mouth and offends the six princes, I'm afraid it won't be something she can settle with a few words! At that time, not only will she not be able to protect her, but she may even become a bargaining chip for Mu Xuanlong to contain himself! She can only plan ahead.
"Look after her." stepped out of the door and instructed Xianglan again.
"Yes!" Xianglan answered, she is also a person who can tell the difference, at this time, without waiting to inform Zihan, she directly pulled the door from the outside and closed it, and she also guarded the door, letting her stay in the house obediently.
In the side hall, Mu Xuanlong was pacing back and forth, from the beginning to the present, he had been walking around this room for nearly half an hour, waiting a little irritable. At this time, the son suddenly heard the movement of the maid outside the house saluting, and hurriedly found his place to sit down, hurriedly straightened out his flat clothes, and put his elbows on the small table, and then leaned his head up, calmed his breath, and closed his eyes. He wanted to test what the third lady of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion would do when faced with such a situation, and at the same time, it was also to reveal to her his sincerity as a corporal of Lixian, after all, a prince was willing to wait for a person whose rank was far inferior to his own until he fell asleep, and he had never heard of it a few times since ancient times!
"Why aren't you waiting inside?"
When the maids heard Xia Xue'er's tone, there was a bit of reproach, as if they thought they were not doing their errands well, so they all hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Miss Hui, His Royal Highness ordered the slaves and maids to wait outside, and said that they should not enter without a call!"
Xia Xue'er frowned slightly after hearing this, this is not quite like the words that came out of the mouth of a dignified prince who does not eat fireworks in the world. You know, for these noble people, once they are separated from slaves, they will not live comfortably!
"Open the door." Commanded in a deep voice. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Mu Xuan's dragon gourd.
The maid pushed the door open, and as soon as Xia Xue'er stepped in, she saw Mu Xuanlong sitting crookedly on the chair, with his hands still supporting his head, as if he was asleep, so he walked over with a light step. As if sensing Xia Xue'er's approach, Mu Xuanlong couldn't help but swallow his saliva not just because he was nervous or something.
Xia Xue'er put her face close to his sleeping face, stared at it carefully, and saw that his throat slid slightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, as he expected. Mu Xuanlong kicked all the maids out of the house, just to show her this scene that wouldn't show her the stuffing?
In that case, why would he be embarrassed to disturb his great interest?
So, her face was calm, she pretended not to see the clue, took a few steps back, whispered to the maid to serve tea, and sat down on the chair herself, only tasting her tea attentively, no matter how well he slept, and did not intend to wake him up.
After about a quarter of an hour passed, Mu Xuanlong moved his body and opened his eyes. He originally planned to pretend to be asleep to deceive Xia Xue'er, but he didn't want Xia Xue'er to have no intention of waking him up at all, so he almost pretended to be true and fell asleep!
"Your Highness is awake?"
Xia Xue'er put down the teacup and got up to salute.
"How long have you been here?" There was a slight laziness in his voice that he hadn't woken up.
Xia Xue'er lowered her head, and when she heard such a tone, she frowned slightly, the Mu Xuanlong in front of her was very different from the Mu Xuanlong she knew. The one she knew was always in good spirits, straightening her back, and although she occasionally made mistakes, she was not as lax and lazy as she was in front of her! This tone is like a conversation between husband and wife when they wake up in the morning.
This Mu Xuanlong, what kind of wishful thinking is he thinking in his heart?
Without a trace, he collected the chill in his eyes, and replied in a calm tone, "It's been about a quarter of an hour."
"Oh......" Mu Xuanlong stretched, and then asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"His Royal Highness has been working hard all day long, and the courtiers didn't dare to disturb him when they saw that His Highness was sleeping soundly." After Xia Xue'er said this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Xuanlong, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked with a little doubt on her face, "Isn't Your Highness sleeping well?"
Although she had doubts on her face, but there was ridicule in her eyes, Mu Xuanlong was a smart person, so she naturally saw this qiē, and she understood it in her heart, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, she reached out and clenched her fist to block her mouth and coughed lightly twice, but fortunately, Xia Xue'er didn't plan to be unrelenting and changed the topic.
"I don't know what Your Highness is doing here?"
"I'm here to tell you a piece of news, this is good news for you, but not for the Qingguo Mansion."
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er smiled slightly, and bowed to the person in front of her. She already knew what the news Mu Xuanlong was talking about.
On November 12, news came out in the palace that the emperor had granted marriage, and the eighth prince Mu Xuanhan had signed a marriage contract with the seventh lady of the Yanguo Mansion, Wen, and the wedding date was set for the ninth day of April two years later. When Xia Xue'er learned about this, she only said one sentence:
There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck! (To be continued.) )
