269. Chapter 269 Red Dress
When Mu Xi returned to Yingluo Courtyard, it was already the middle of the night, and Xiao Shu had to wait at the door for seven or eight hours, planning to sneak into the palace before the sect leader returned. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-
"Master!" , Xiao Shu saw Mu Xi staggering towards this side from a long distance, and as soon as she greeted her, Mu Xi fell down.
Xiao Shu picked up Mu Xi, who was sitting on the ground, and when she saw the blood oozing from Mu Xi's left shoulder, she became worried, "Sect Master, why are you injured?"
"It's okay, it's a little injury, it's just a terrible headache", Mu Xi's painful expression, this time the headache was several times worse than the previous ones.
"The sect master's illness has been committed again, and you haven't found a woman in the palace?" , Xiao Shu said and put Mu Xi on the bed, "Miss lie down and rest for a while, I'll go and catch a few people for the sect leader."
"Don't", Mu Xi grabbed Xiao Shu and explained with difficulty, "I just came out of the palace, alarmed the guards, the wind outside is very tight, if you go out, you will definitely be arrested, my illness is an old problem, tomorrow will be fine in the morning."
Xiao Shu paused for a moment, but still promised, "Okay, the subordinates don't go out, the sect leader will sleep well", she knows the character of the sect leader, if she doesn't agree, the sect leader will not settle down.
Lying on the bed the wooden Xi curled up into a ball, continuous and uninterrupted headache, Nan Wufeng's words clearly appeared in his mind here, and the more he thought about it, the more severe the headache became.
I'm afraid this is the disadvantage of 'dancing death', and when it has not been practiced, it is never allowed to be emotional, emotional, and emotional.
I fell asleep in repeated pain.
At this time, it was dawn, and the person on the bed moved his fingers, only to feel that the raging fire was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound, and he wanted to speak, but his mouth couldn't open.
Just when he was uncomfortable, a trace of cold liquid flowed into the corner of his mouth, and Mu Xi poured a few sips.
Ahem, ahem.
"Master, drink slowly", Xiao Shu patted Mu Xi's back.
Relieving the heat in his mouth, Mu Xi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the scorching sun outside the window, and pushed away the cup next to his mouth.
The last sentence that Nan Wufeng said was pieced together like fragments, Mu Xi was already very sure that Nan Wufeng already knew her identity, when did she know it? Then why didn't he poke him? And why did he appear in Changle Palace, Feng Ling was frightened, he should be by her side for the first time.
Nan Wufeng's strange behavior, Mu Xi can't think about it, so he doesn't want to.
Looking at the sect leader in a daze, Xiao Shu asked, "Sect leader, what's wrong with you, are you still drinking?"
Mu Xi came back to his senses, shook his head, and suddenly remembered an important thing, "What time is it?"
Xiao Shu saw that Mu Xi didn't drink anymore, so she put the cup, "It's noon now, and it's the poisonous day of summer."
"It's noon?" , Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to come and go to the artifact conference."
"No way!" , Xiao Shu knelt down, "This artifact conference will definitely cause a storm of fighting among various factions, the sect leader is seriously injured, the dance has not yet been practiced, and it will definitely be dangerous to enter the palace this time."
For Xiao Shu's stopping, Mu Xi knew that she was worried about her, but this conference was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Mu Xi resolutely said without doubt: "I will definitely go back to the banquet in the palace this time, and the golden red silk must also be won, I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more."
"Sect Master, please think twice, the Shacheng Ghost Domain can't be without the Sect Master", Xiao Shu clearly knew that this artifact conference, openly displaying artifacts and Xuannu, would definitely cause chaos in the world, and she didn't want the sect leader to go on this trip to troubled waters.
"How do you know that I will go this time, and there will be no return, do you underestimate my ability so much?" , Mu Xi's pair of cold black eyes looked at Xiao Shu who was kneeling on the ground and asked.
"Subordinates don't dare".
Mu Xi sat up from the head of the bed, stepped over Xiao Shu, walked to the door of the house, straightened his backbone, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, closed his eyes full of hatred, and coldly ordered, "Go and prepare a set of dazzling palace clothes, and enter the palace in an hour."
Yes, on this special day, when the various factions of the martial arts gathered, why didn't she prepare well, so that these hypocrites would always remember her Yun Muxi at the last moment of death, and always remember the retribution that Yun Muxi and the people around her deserved for hurting her, and let them pay more than ten times the price for the crimes they made.
Mu Xi, who is ready to fight for revenge, does not have the slightest idea of seeing death as home, she firmly believes that she will come back alive, and she will definitely return to modern times alive.
Xiao Shu listened speechlessly, she could only obey, the sect leader at this moment was a majesty that she had never had on weekdays, and she exuded the momentum of a long-lost king, maybe she should really believe in the sect leader, just as she believed that the sect leader could recapture the Shacheng ghost domain from the hands of the wolf country.
It has passed noon, the sun has been strong for a long time, sprinkled on the ground and bloomed like flowers, the shade of the morning has been taken up by the hot in the afternoon, the air is tumbling with heat waves, the sun is so hot that the locust tree does not dare to have the slightest swing, and the locust flowers that fall in the morning are still lying on the ground, which have been dried and shriveled.
Summer is coming, and I still have to wear a cloak a few days ago, but today's weather is picking up.
Xiao Shu had already prepared the carriage, and in order not to attract attention, the carriage was placed ten meters away from the back door of the Yanwang Mansion.
In front of the bronze mirror, Xiao Shu was carefully dressed up for Mu Xi.
"The sect leader is the representative of our Shacheng Ghost Domain, representing our thousands of people, so the subordinates must be dressed up by the sect leader, and no one can be underestimated", Xiao Shu said as she combed her hair for Mu Xi.
Mu Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror, with yellow-brown willow eyebrows, and red cherry lips that were playful and charming, with this big red trimmed robe, which became more and more enchanting and conspicuous. The thick and slender eyelashes that are not modified, the snow skin that can be broken by the spring, there is no more innocence and melancholy between the eyebrows, more mature and resolute, is this himself? She almost didn't recognize it, it turned out that she hadn't put on makeup for a long time, and she was plain on weekdays, so she almost forgot the appearance of her exquisite makeup.
"Combed up", Xiao Shu pinned the last bead hairpin on Mu Xi's head.
When Mu Xi looked in the mirror again, he almost squirted out, the cloud bun raised high in the mirror, and there was no hair end on his shoulders, which was clearly the noble lady's head often combed by married ladies in the aristocracy.
"Xiaoshu, am I so old? I'm only twenty years old, so can't you comb a lady's hair in a bun."
"The sect leader is not small, twenty years Hua is the mother of a group of children, and his subordinates feel that combing this noble lady's hair bun is both solemn and can reflect the nobility of her status, and it will not be wrong", Xiao Shu said in an orderly manner.
"Okay, it's not too early, feel free", Mu Xi sighed, if it was Yu'er and Qingmei, they should have combed her in a youthful bun, why did she think of this again, Mu Xi hurriedly stopped thinking about it.
In fact, it has also worked hard for Xiao Shu, who was used to the rules of the palace when she was still a concubine, so her outfit was completely dressed in accordance with the palace banquet.
"Well, sect leader, my subordinates have prepared all the things to enter the palace, put them at the back door of the Yanwang Mansion, and arranged a few guards to enter the palace with the sect master, and I will also accompany the sect leader."
"The guards and you don't need it, I will enter the palace alone, and there will be more trouble for one more person," Mu Xi ordered.
"Since the sect leader is unwilling to accompany the guards, then the subordinates must go, letting the sect leader risk death to enter the palace is already the maximum limit as a protector, and now the sect leader will never be allowed to enter the palace alone", Xiao Shu seemed to know Mu Xi's concerns, and added: "Chi'er, I will settle down, and those guards who don't go with me will let them stay and guard in Yingluoyuan."
"That's right", Mu Xi agreed, because entering the palace without an escort will definitely arouse the suspicion of the people around him, or take Xiaoshu to act as his maid to cover people's eyes.
Sitting in the carriage, the stuffy environment in the carriage made Mu Xi's face red, and he pulled the collar of his disguised clothes, it was really hot.
Soon the sun went down to the edge of the sky, only the yellow halo shone on the border, more than two hours passed, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the palace, and Mu Xi took out the veil from his sleeve and brought it.
At this time, the guards stopped the carriage, and every faction and country that entered the palace could not bring dangerous weapons into the palace, and they had to search carefully before entering the palace.
Xiao Shu took out the post from her sleeve and handed it to the guard.
The guard looked at the post repeatedly, and looked around the carriage again, there were indeed only two people, the guard couldn't believe it, the lord of a country traveled to Jiangdu and only brought a maid, I really doubt that it was the master of the ghost domain of Shacheng, but this post was fake, so I put Mu Xi's carriage in.
The carriage drove into the palace, and under the traction of the eunuch, the carriage was parked in the stable, and Mu Xi and Xiaoshu got out of the carriage and had to walk to the palace on foot.
I heard that today's artifact conference was held in the peach blossom forest next to the pavilion Yuhu.
Entering the road on both sides are all evergreen camphor trees, with little shade, blocking the heat of the sky, reducing a lot of hot steam, bringing a cool breeze, I have to say that this palace is a natural summer resort.
No one was seen along the way, it was all this hour, the sun had set, and it was only half an hour before the time of the conference, and they should have been waiting in the peach blossom forest for a long time.
After a while, a faint fragrance came with the wind, with a hint of sweetness, thinking that it was almost to the peach blossom forest, Mu Xi stood on tiptoe, and there was really a sea of pink flowers in front of him.
Hearing only the footsteps behind him, Mu Xi turned around, eight people carrying a sedan chair, followed by several guards and maids, looking like they were not ordinary palace maids.
Mu Xi pulled Xiao Shu, hurriedly got out of the way, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at his feet.
The eight-lift sedan chair passed by Mu Xi, and it was Nan Wufeng who sat on the sedan chair, Nan Wufeng turned his head sideways and looked at the women standing on both sides again, a little throbbing, could it be her? When he noticed that Mu Xi's eye-catching red robe looked extremely dazzling in the sun, he gave up his guess.
Because he remembered that she didn't like all kinds of colors, only simple and plain white and cyan, and she would never wear this kind of bright red.
