Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hideous Face
The sound of the flower pot breaking suddenly sounded, and the cold light flashed in the eyes of the two silent people in the room, and Qi Lichen raised his hand to signal Bai Ye to stand still. Qi Lichen's courtyard has a simple layout, and there is only one way to get to the bedroom, which is the corridor.
The orchid potted plant raised under the porch was knocked down, the pot fell into several pieces, and the soil was scattered on the ground, and there was no one.
"You go and clean the cloister in Childe's yard, I still have to prepare Childe's breakfast, and I will be blamed by Childe for being late."
It was the voice of the maid Xing'er who was in charge of delivering breakfast, Qi Lichen glanced at Bai Ye, Bai Ye understood, and left the courtyard silently.
"Where is the girl, Miss Xi is already waiting, take the food and warm it up and send it over."
Cuiyun was instructed by Xi Duyun to call Xi Duyu, breakfast was served and no one was seen, Cuiyun was about to go to Qi Lichen to ask, when he bumped into Xi Duiyun walking in from the moon cave door.
"Ah, it's okay, I'm late to come back after talking a few words to my son, you bring the food to the heat first, and I'll go back to the bedroom to change my clothes first." Xi Duyun's steps were fast, she was in a hurry on weekdays, Cuiyun didn't think much about it, and went down with the food.
Xi Duyun returned to the bedroom and closed the doors and windows, making sure that no one in the room had pulled up her sleeves, and there was a finger-long wound on the back of her wrist, which was caused by flying debris when she knocked over the flower pot, and the blood flowed from the wound, which was terrifying.
It is Xi Duyun's habit to put medicine in the room, and it is a loss to this, otherwise going to get the medicine will inevitably arouse suspicion.
After cleaning up the bruise from the wound, Xi Duyun applied the medicine with an expressionless face, and his mind was full of Qi Lichen's almost crazy face.
Is Qi Lichen, whom she knows, really the same person in the room? Xi Duyun was a little dazed. After sitting in the room for a while, her heart was still pounding, and her understanding of Qi Lichen was like a leopard in a tube.
Why did Qi Lichen hate and poison the current emperor, what was his true identity, and what was Gu Jianglin's idea. These questions lingered in Xi's mind, but she couldn't find the answers.
These answers were synonymous with danger, and once she knew something, it was when the evil really found her, and she couldn't risk Xi Dusk. Xi Duyu made up her mind, wrapped the gauze tightly, and used spices to cover up the smell of blood before going to breakfast.
"Is my sister going to be sick, usually my sister's face is like an apple, but today it is white." Xi Duiyu looked at Xi Duyun's face, and her innocent gaze made Xi Duyun feel flustered for no reason.
"It's okay, my sister just got up early and wasn't in good spirits. Cuiyun, go down, I have something I want to talk to Xiaoyu alone. ”
After so long, Xi Duyun has not talked to Xi Duyu alone, Xi Duyu is only a seven-year-old child, Cuiyun glanced at Xi Duyun with a strange face, and bowed and retreated.
"Is my sister going to secretly take Xiaoyu out of the house to play?" Xi Duyu thought that Sister Ah was going to take her out to play, and she was very happy.
"This time, I don't have to bother with my sister, I have already figured out a way, as long as we hide in the big bamboo basket that goes out of the house to buy vegetables, we can run out of the house without knowing it." Xi Duyu hugged her elbows, looking like a little adult.
Xi Duyun was amused by her and couldn't cry or laugh, how long had the girl wanted to leave the house, and she had even thought about such things.
"Later, my sister will take you to the street for a walk, but my sister has something to ask you, are you willing to move back to your old home?"
Qi Lichen's plan is very wide-ranging, Xi Duyun can't withdraw and leave Qi Lichen, he is kind to himself, but at least he has to ensure that Xi Duiyu is not implicated. At the beginning, the sugarcane forest chased and killed, thinking that it had something to do with Qi Lichen.
"Sister and Xiaoyu are going back together?" Xi Duyu's mind was sensitive, and she noticed that Xi Duyun's tone was wrong, and the smile on her face gradually faded, and her hand held the wooden spoon tightly.
"My sister still has things to do, I can't go back with you, I'll take you back when my sister finishes dealing with things here, if you don't like to live in the county, my sister will accompany you to live in the village."
Sugar Heart Pavilion has made a lot of profits under Xi Duyun's operation, and if Xi Duyu is placed in the village, she can ask Aunt Liu to take care of it, and hire a few secret guards to guard it in the dark, in case something unexpected happens, how can she rest assured than her in Qi Mansion.
"Just go back and stay for a while? Will my sister not want Yu'er anymore, so I thought of a way to drive Yu'er away, and when Yu'er goes back to her old home, she will never see her sister again, and then Yu'er will become a child that no one wants. ”
Xi Duyu stared at Xi Duyun with big watery eyes, Xi Duyun's face twitched, how could these words be a little familiar.
"Did Miss Emerald Heart read you a new script?" This kind of bridge is not uncommon in the script, but people just eat this set, as if they can't get tired of watching it.
"Although it's the plot in the book, my sister doesn't often say that art comes from life, and there is no such thing in life, so, sister, are you planning not to want the rain, the rain is going to go by herself, and after leaving, we will cut off the robe and break the righteousness, and we will never see each other again!"
The yellow frozen persimmons on the table had a thin layer of frost, which complemented Xi Duyu's red little face.
"Poof, you girl, that's not how you cut your robe. Our rain is so cute, how can I be reluctant to let it? ”
Xi Duyun touched Xi Duyu's head and comforted Xi Duyu, Xi Duyu's insecure and cautious words and deeds were distressing.
"Then let's say okay, my sister will come to pick me up after handling this matter, and I will sit under the ginkgo tree and wait for my sister."
After Xi Duyun's repeated affirmation, Xi Duyu frowned, as long as she didn't want her.
Strictly speaking, Xi Duyun and Xi Duyu have only known each other for half a year, and strictly speaking, she is the sister of the deceased Xi Duyun, not hers. After getting along these days, Xi Duyun has slowly treated this person as his own sister.
Xi Duyu is not like an ordinary child, she is introverted and sensible, she has never lost her temper with Xi Duyun, and she can be happy for a day if she gives a candy.
"Okay." Xi Duyun nodded affirmatively and held Xi Duyu in her arms, "Sister will come to see you as soon as you are free, don't worry." ”
After breakfast, Xi Duyun helped Xi Duyu pack up her things, ordered someone to call a carriage, and personally sent her sister back to Nancun.
The backyard was close to the back door, and it was troublesome to move the luggage, so Xi Duyun simply asked people to drive to the back door and wait. When Xi Duyun arrived at the back door, the two subordinates in front of her dragged a white sack out, and the white sack they dragged in the long alley was very conspicuous.
The dazzling white blinked a little in the snow, making people unconsciously look away. The two servants had already walked away, and the dark red marks oozing from the white sack were faintly recognizable, bloodstains.
"What is Sister looking at?" Xi Duyun stood still in front of the carriage for a long time, and Xi Duyu followed her gaze curiously.
Xi Duyun turned sideways to block Xi Duyu's view, and carried Xi Duyu into the carriage like a chicken. Returning to Nancun from the county seat, the bumpy road pulled Xi Duyun's memory back to the day when Qi Lichen entered the county seat to participate in the county banquet.
That was the first time Xi Duyun had ridden in a carriage, and because he couldn't adapt to the bumps of the carriage, he kept vomiting, and he almost vomited out all the stomach acid.
Xi Duyu got into the carriage and knelt on the seat and lay down at the window to look at the scenery outside the window, shaking his head carefree, the golden hairpin hanging on the small bun with two hairballs also swaying, Xi Duyun clenched his hands into fists and put them on his knees, thinking all the way.
"Aunt Liu, I will take care of Xiaoyu's daily life, you have to come and take a look twice, don't let those black-hearted people bully Xiaoyu."
Xi Duyun has not yet chosen the maid who can take care of Xi Duyu, so she will give it to Aunt Liu to watch before that.
