Chapter 33: The Evil Stars Come
Pushing open the door, the summer breeze suddenly rose, gently blowing away a few strands of hair in front of Yi Xue's forehead, Yi Xue wiped off the broken hair, and when she looked up, she was greeted by a slender figure, a young man with a good face, who was closing his eyes and listening to the wind.
Sima Cheng stood outside the house, today he was dressed in a dark robe like the encounter in the jewelry shop, but the cuffs of the shirt were tightly tightened, it was the style of a military robe, all the hair was knotted on the top, not like that day and half draped over his shoulders, and the appearance of closing his eyes was like the first time he saw him on the Lotus Festival, so beautiful that the woman couldn't help but palpitate.
Yi Xue was stunned for a moment, she thought that Sima Cheng was only slightly eye-catching compared with ordinary princes and grandsons, but when she saw him today, she felt that he was in good shape, and yesterday Prince Jing also pointed out Sima Cheng as her personal guard, which shows that he should also have martial arts.
Sima Cheng seemed to be standing at the door early waiting for her, and when he felt that the door was open, he opened his eyes.
Seeing Yi Xue come out, Sima Cheng took the initiative to greet her and saluted her.
"See His Highness Ji."
Seeing Sima Cheng call her "His Royal Highness Ji" and respectfully greeting her, Yi Xue must have heard everything from Prince Jing, but now that he is suddenly the same as before, Yi Xue can't help but feel very twisted, but there is nothing unusual on Sima Cheng's face at all, as if the two of them have never had a holiday before, calm as water, without any waves.
So Xue whispered "um" and accepted it.
"In Xia Sima Cheng, the son of King Jing, from now on, he will serve as His Highness's personal guard to obey His Highness's orders and protect His Highness."
Sima Cheng's sincere words seemed to have a kind of magic that made Yi Xue feel at ease.
If it is in the future, if someone really wants to follow her every day, Sima Cheng seems to be the best choice, now King Jing is the only person she can rely on at present, and Sima Cheng is obedient to King Jing's words, after entering the palace, Sima Cheng can be used as an intermediary to facilitate her contact with King Jing.
And the two of them stumbled into each other by mistake before, barely knowing each other, although Yi Xue still can't figure out Sima Cheng's character, but the identities of the two are there, and he shouldn't make any frivolous moves like he did in the Lotus Picking Festival before.
The only inconvenience is gender.
But since you want to pretend, you have to start deceiving the person who is closest to you.
The two of them are each receiving their own orders, which is not support, but just cooperation, but Yi Xue may temporarily rely on him more.
"Well, I already know, presumably Cheng Gongzi also knows my identity, you and I met by chance before, and it seems that there are some unsafe gaps, but now that they are in their respective places, they should do their part, and I hope that Cheng Gongzi can release his suspicions from the previous misunderstanding."
If you want to spend the next few days safely, Sima Cheng's help must be indispensable, and Yi Xue took the initiative to mention the old thing, hoping that Sima Cheng could let go of all the previous suspicions about "Tao Gongzi", if the two of them can be open and honest in this matter, Yi Xue's heart will feel better.
"Your Highness called me Sima Cheng, my subordinates had offended His Highness a lot, His Highness abandoned the flaws and used them, and his subordinates should reflect on themselves, be grateful, and dare not bother His Highness."
After hearing this, Yi Xue was relieved, and then continued:
"I know that you are as careful as a hair, brave and resourceful. Although I am a prince, I have been living in the people for many years, far away from the affairs of the court and court, and it must not be enough to take on the heavy responsibility of studying martial arts, so I would like to ask you for more guidance in the future to help me. ”
"Your Royal Highness is too modest, Your Highness is in his prime, as long as the time is set to be promising, and the ruler of the world needs to choose the virtuous and capable, and open up the way, His Royal Highness is humble and willing, and he must be able to be good as a stream. His subordinates received the order to contribute to His Highness in the future and help His Highness achieve great causes. ”
Yi Xue didn't expect to hear such beautiful words from Sima Cheng's mouth, just because Sima Cheng did not take the initiative to cater to Yin Baoshan at that time, it can be seen that he is not a flatterer. Today, his words are conclusive, even if he is really deliberately flattering, it sounds like a chat in Yixue.
After that, Sima Cheng explained to Yi Xue the layout of King Jing's mansion, he rarely entered the palace, and the affairs in the palace, Shen Xing would come in the afternoon.
Just in case, Sima Jing arranged Yi Xue in the side courtyard of the mansion. So far, only Sima Jing has set foot here, and he stays for most of the day, and no one can come in without his order. Therefore, although this place is cleaned all year round, the people in the house also know that this place has other intentions for the prince, and they will not approach it without orders.
And this place is not far from Sima Jing's courtyard, so if Yi Xue lives here, almost no one in the entire palace will know about it. And Sima Jing also meant this, if Sima Lie had been staring at the palace, it would be difficult to see the difference.
Although it is a deep courtyard, it is also small and chic. Like the bookstore, there is a weeping willow in the courtyard, there is a group of stone tables and stone benches under the tree, and there are bamboo and jasmine planted elsewhere, the breeze blows, the green willow shakes gently, the bamboo leaves rustle, and the jasmine fragrance is faint, which has quite an artistic conception.
However, in this yard, it is usually used with orchid and bamboo, and here it is jasmine, although Yi Xue has paid attention, but he has not studied deeply.
When it was time for lunch, Sima Cheng took her to Sima Jing's dining room and left, at this time, Sima Jing had already sat down, the table was full of delicious food, Yi Xue hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and looked at it from a distance, and felt that the gluttonous worms in her stomach were ready to move.
Sima Jing knew that Yi Xue was not rich in the bookstore, even as a woman, she was thin, and if she was a man, she would be even weaker, but to eat warm food, eating with him was the least noticeable way.
However, even if he was so cautious and cautious, as soon as Yi Xue was about to sit down, someone hurriedly came to report that the emperor's younger brother Sima Lie had arrived at the door, and Shen Xing hurried to the dining hall when he got the news.
As soon as Yi Xue heard Sima Lie's name, she couldn't help but take a step back, her hand clenched into a fist, both scared and angry.
Shen Xing, who was on the side, hurriedly said to Sima Jing: "Lord Wang, Sima Lie is afraid that the person who came to the mansion at this time is not good, you deal with him first, and I will take the ...... I took His Highness Ji down to hide. After speaking, he grabbed Yi Xue's wrist and left the dining hall through the side door quickly.
As soon as Yi Xue left with her front foot, Sima Cheng also arrived at the dining hall with her back foot, and saw that there was only Wang Ye Jing alone, and the two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table were very eye-catching, so he sat down by himself, looked at Sima Jing and smiled, sat upright, and waited for Sima Lie to arrive.
Sima Lie was already waiting a little impatiently at the gate of King Jing's mansion, and the strategist who came with him rolled his eyes and whispered to Sima Lie:
"Lord, the more this Jingwang Mansion is not communicated, the more deceitful it is, if you wait any longer, I am afraid that people will go to the empty building."
When Sima Lie heard this, he became more and more anxious, and without waiting for someone to report, he took Yu Feng and broke into King Jing's mansion.
Shen Xing and Yi Xue were about to rush to the side courtyard, but Shen Xing, who was walking in front, had already seen Sima Lie's figure, so he could only stop suddenly, it seemed that the side courtyard could not be gone, so he had a plan, so he turned around and brought Yi Xue into the kitchen.
