At this time, only one day had passed since the assassination of the princes' children in Tianxiangju, and there were still two days left before the feast of the last day's festival.

Early in the morning, the news that Xiahou Xuanba, the general of the Zhenguo, temporarily led the patrol battalion to be responsible for the safety of the princes' children spread throughout Kyoto, and after getting the news, the soldiers who were blocked outside the city gate also received the order of his master and returned to the original garrison point, no one dared to forcibly ask to enter the city, after all, it was "the name of the person, the shadow of the tree", the prestige of the general Xiahou Xuanba was not something that these princes dared to challenge, and with Xiahou Xuanba's seat, how could the ordinary Xiaoxiao assassins dare to provoke again? Bai You also led the imperial doctors in the palace to visit the princes' children one by one, conveying the little emperor's care for them.

After sending Bai You and the imperial doctor away, Mu Qiuhuang also fell into contemplation again.

"Childe, let's have a cup of tea!" Su Xiaoxiao walked in with a cup of tea.

Mu Qiuhuang took the teacup and took a sip, and asked, "Now that a whole day has passed, what do you think?" ”

Su Xiaoxiao knew that Mu Qiuhuang was asking about the assassin, and said calmly, "It shouldn't be the assassin sent by Xiahou Xuanba."

"How?" Mu Qiuhuang was a little puzzled.

Su Xiao thought for a moment and explained: "Because all the tongues of these assassins who were killed were cut off, according to the comprehensive analysis of the information obtained by Huang Ling, Xiahou Xuanba couldn't do such cruel things to his subordinates. ”

Mu Qiuhuang nodded in approval and said: "You are right, although Xiahou Xuanba is tyrannical and strict in governing the army, he was only a small pawn in the army when he started...... This kind of military boss who has risen step by step from the bottom and experienced the world of lower-class soldiers cannot do such cruel things to his subordinates. ”

"But if it's not Xiahou Xuanba? Who could it be? Su Xiaoxiao said with doubts.

"Forget it! Since I can't figure it out, I don't think about it. Mu Qiuhuang took a sip of tea and said to himself: "No matter who is behind the scenes?" After experiencing this incident, he was afraid that he would be temporarily dormant underground, and it was estimated that he would not have thought that the children of the eight princes would be assassinated at the same time, right? …… Anyway, under Ji Yan's mistake, this game has been broken. ”

"Hmm." Su Xiaoxiao replied, looking thoughtful.

……

After the two were silent for a while, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly stood up and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Didn't you say last time that there is a jade shop that is good, today is just fine, go to the jade shop you said last time, don't you have a fancy to a purple jade hairpin from their family?" Just went to buy it for you. ”

Su Xiaoxiao saw that Mu Qiuhuang still remembered the purple jade hairpin she had said before, and couldn't help but be full of joy, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm going to inform General Linghu to prepare the carriage." ”

"There is no need to inform Brother Linghu, there is Xiahou Xuanba, the general of the Zhenguo Kingdom, who is personally in charge of the patrol camp, and it is very safe in Kyoto, besides, the carriage was destroyed by the assassins the night before, hasn't it been repaired? Is that jade traveling far away? If it's far away, you and I can ride over, and if it's not far, let's go all the way there. Mu Qiuhuang said.

When she heard Mu Qiuhuang say that she would only go with the two of her, Su Xiaoxiao was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "It's not far, it's not far, let's just walk over from the street."

In fact, the distance from the inn where they lived to the jade shop was not close, even if it was a carriage, it would take more than half an hour, but when Su Xiaoxiao heard Mu Qiuhuang ask if the distance was far away, he replied that it was not far away...... As for why Su Xiaoxiao did this? I am afraid that only she knows what she thinks, but after Su Xiaoxiao said this, her face was flushed.

"In that case, let's get ready to go now!" Mu Qiuhuang said.

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was going to the jade shop now, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly picked up the tea on the table and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang, and said, "Childe, let's drink tea first, and then go later." ”

"Why?"

"It's rare to meet a son to accompany Xiaoxiao shopping, Xiaoxiao naturally has to dress up well......"

Mu Qiuhuang looked at the bright and moving Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Haven't you already dressed up?" ”

Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and begged in a coquettish voice: "Childe, just wait for Xiaoxiao to meet in a while." ”

"Alright! I'm waiting for you here. Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed, and sat back in the chair again.

……

Although Mu Qiuhuang still didn't understand why the woman had to put on makeup before going out? But Mu Qiuhuang understands one thing, that is, when ordinary women ask her to wait for a while, you must not think that you really only need to wait for her for a while.

Generally speaking, the time of the meeting that women think is fundamentally different from the time that men think, and there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Don't ask Mu Qiuhuang how he knows, because almost half an hour has passed since Su Xiaoxiao left, and the tea in Mu Qiuhuang's tea bowl has been drunk four or five times without a trace of tea, but even now, Su Xiaoxiao has not returned.

Finally, when Mu Qiuhuang couldn't bear it anymore and was about to get up and go to Su Xiaoxiao's room to look for Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao finally came back.

……

"Let Childe wait for a long time, let's go now!" Su Xiao said softly.

"You ......" Mu Qiuhuang had just prepared the complaining words, but he couldn't say anything anymore after seeing Su Xiaoxiao look like this now.

After seeing Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, he suddenly realized that the wait just now was worth it, and even thought a little shyly, not to mention only waiting for half an hour, even if it was waiting for more than half an hour, it was completely worth it.

When Mu Qiuhuang saw Su Xiaoxiao for the first time, Su Xiaoxiao was wrapped in red clothes, wearing a red gauze skirt, facing each other plainly, without any makeup, at that time, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but think of the words "Closed Moon Shame Flower"; The second time was before entering the imperial capital, when Su Xiaoxiao wiped light powder and painted red lips, and wore red clothes, which still looked bright and beautiful...... Today, Su Xiaoxiao is still wearing a bright red scattered flower mist pleated skirt, and the red skirt is draped with a layer of green water smoke veil of the same color...... In addition, Su Xiaoxiao himself is extremely beautiful, if the shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a prime, the muscles are like condensation, and the waist is folded in micro steps...... It is really fragrant and delicate, beautiful and beautiful than flowers, such as cutting onion roots, and mouthing like Zhu Dan......

Su Xiaoxiao saw Mu Qiuhuang looking stupid, she couldn't help but be very proud, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Childe, let's go!" ”

Su Xiaoxiao doesn't care if she doesn't smile, a smile is really "looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color", Mu Qiu is more and more obsessed.

"Okay, let's go now." Mu Qiuhuang nodded subconsciously.

Just when Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao were about to leave, they suddenly saw a few people carrying a sedan chair and walking straight over here.

"It's the sedan chair of the Taishi's Mansion."

Mu Qiuhuang recognized the person who led the way in front of the sedan chair, and it was the old man who led him when he first went to the Taishi Mansion.

"I've seen Mu Gongzi." The old man saluted Mu Qiuhuang and ordered everyone to get off the sedan chair.

Mu Qiuhuang returned the salute and asked, "Uncle, ...... this?"

Before the old man could answer, he heard a soft voice coming from the sedan chair: "It's Mu Gongzi, right?" ”

"Situ Luqi?" Mu Qiuhuang was stunned in his heart.

Sure enough, I saw that the curtain on the sedan chair was lifted the next moment, and Situ Luqi got out of the sedan chair.

"Miss Situ, what are you?"

"I heard that you had encountered an assassin, so I came to see you." Situ Luqi said softly.

"Miss Raustu is concerned." Mu Qiuhuang thanked him.

Situ Luqi came to visit suddenly, and Mu Qiuhuang naturally didn't want to go out with Su Xiaoxiao again, so he had to welcome Situ Luqi in.

Although Su Xiaoxiao was disturbed by good things and had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, she also knew which was more important, and she did not show this dissatisfaction, but secretly regretted that she had just put on makeup for too long...... He glanced at Mu Qiuhuang with some resentment, but he was not so friendly when he looked at Situ Luqi.

Situ Luqi still likes green as always, and the clothes he wears today are still green colors, so it is obvious that Situ Luqi is also carefully dressed up today.

After welcoming Situ Luqi into the room, the atmosphere between the three of them couldn't help but be a little awkward.

Situ Luqi said that he came to see Mu Qiuhuang, but when he really entered the room, his whole eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao was the same.

The main colors of the two of them dressed today are one red and one green, and their looks and figures are also superior, and they are all carefully dressed up today, so people who see them can't help but want to compare the two together.

Situ Luqi has a sweet appearance, a graceful figure, and a youthful vitality all over her body, which makes people spontaneously start to be happy when they see the mood, but because of his younger age, he can't help but look a little immature......... It's like a budding green lotus.

Su Xiaoxiao is because he is a little older than Situ Luqi, and his appearance and posture look a little stronger, although he looks less youthful and energetic, but he has an indescribable graceful charm...... It's like a delicate rose in bloom.

……

Originally, it was a little embarrassing for the three of them to be in the same room, but at this time, the two women looked at each other without saying a word, which added another unspeakable atmosphere to this embarrassment. I wonder how the second daughter feels? Anyway, Mu Qiuhuang, who was in the middle of them, felt extremely depressed at this time, as if there were some invisible and intangible slender needles shuttling and fighting in the air, but most of the needles fell on Mu Qiuhuang's body.

Mu Qiuhuang wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say? I had to quietly close my mouth again, looked left and right, and couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoxiao for help.

It's just that this scene happened to fall in the afterglow of Situ Luqi, and Mu Qiuhuang originally looked at the gaze on Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, but in Situ Luqi's opinion, it actually fell on Su Xiaoxiao's chest.

Situ Luqi subconsciously straightened his chest, and after finding that he was not as good as Su Xiaoxiao, he couldn't help but start to get angry, and secretly cursed in his heart, "Dengzi", and then withdrew his gaze on Su Xiaoxiao, and then looked at Mu Qiuhuang.
