Chapter 101: Mountain Dust
"You don't think that I spent enough silver taels to buy a mansion and put on two precious amethysts in my practice room just to listen to your silence, right?"
Finally, the night looked back, and the cold eyes hit the depths of her soul, making her feel helpless.
"The prince is very gracious, and the people will never forget. ”
She stumbled and choked back these few words. I feel a little sad in my heart, obviously you can't remember it, why am I so wronged.
"You know, that's not what I'm going to hear. Say, why do you and I take this pair of dragons and phoenixes to Chengxiang?"
"I am homeless now, if the prince can take me in, I will make it clear to the prince one by one in the future. ”
Her breath was a little short, and she mustered up her courage and raised her head, which was perhaps the only excuse she could have to stay by his side.
"You dare to threaten me?"
He stepped forward and embed one hand on her shoulder, pinching her shoulder as if it was about to break, and it hurt so much that she pursed her lips, and she closed her lips tightly, with tears in her eyes. That's right, Ye Ming has no feelings for himself at this moment, if he doesn't say it, he has hundreds of ways to extract confessions from himself. And she can only be at his mercy. There is no qualification to talk about conditions.
Looking at her in pain, his pupils flickered, he pulled his hand back suddenly, turned his head, and stopped looking at her, for some reason, he had seen many people crying, but only the tears in her eyes made him feel pain in his heart, he knew that between them, it was by no means simple. He pulled a half-fox mask out of his sleeve and threw it away, and she took it with both hands, looking at him with puzzled eyes.
"You are the lost daughter of the Chu family, the murderer who killed Chu Xian, and the thorn in Chu Qinghe's side. It's inconvenient to stay by my side with your true face, so let's use this mask to show people. ”
Chu Xing held back the crystal tears, but she didn't expect him to agree, she held the mask, laughed, and nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Lord Wang. ”
"From this day forward, you are a dumb man with a strange ugly face, a short stature, and no spiritual power at all. Follow me every day and take care of my diet and daily life. Until you have finished everything for me, word for word, without a word. ”
He warned gloomily, and then strode forward without looking back.
Chu Xing looked at the mask in his hand, carefully put it on his face, and the thin figure followed him like a little fox, looking at the familiar back, the long-lost sense of peace of mind climbed into his heart. He arranged everything, just like when they first met, and his forgetfulness made them seem to return to the original point, as if they knew each other again. Only this time, she didn't want to run away again.
When he stepped into the palace again, Chu Xing wore a mask and sat in very simple men's clothes, following behind the night underworld, respectful, really a little follower.
She walked down the familiar corridor, looked around at the curious eyes of the people around her, and smiled at the faces under the mask. The eyes of those people were very similar to the first time she entered the palace.
"Master, is he?"
Uncle Rong looked at Chu Xing who was standing behind the night underworld with a puzzled look, didn't he say that he went out to do something, why did he pick up someone again. Last time it was that girl, but this time it's a kid? It's still a masked kid.
"Oh, the poor man who sold himself to bury his father on the road. The king sent him some silver, and he was determined to serve the king, and the king brought it back, just lacking a person to serve the living, you know that Princess Yanyu is a person, she can't see other women in the inner courtyard of this king, so he came just right. ”
Chu Xing looked at Ye Ying and said this string of lies, and put his eyes into admiration, how did he not realize that Ye Ying was simply a genius who made up stories.
"Oh~~ What's your name?, why are you still wearing a mask with the prince?"
Uncle Rong nodded, this time there was not the slightest doubt, because Yan Yu was indeed a jealous woman that night, and the whole palace knew that the prince was forced to come and actually accepted a male attendant.
"He was mute, and his face was so ugly that the king found it unsightly, so he let him wear a mask. ”
As soon as Chu Xing wanted to open her mouth, she was preempted by Ye Ming, and she was shocked, thinking that she had just forgotten that she was going to be a dumb person, and she almost showed her stuff.
"Oh oh oh, what's his name?"
A trace of displeasure flashed on Uncle Rong's face, but he quickly returned to normal, he thought, maybe this is the reason why the prince accepted this young man, a dumb man with a strange ugly face as a personal waiter, he can't tell the secret, and no one recognizes his true face, wonderful.
He ...... Let's call him Mountain Dust. That, the room next door is called to be cleaned, just let him live there, convenient. ”
He thought about it, looked at the villain behind him for a few seconds, and came up with the word "mountain dust". Then, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he gave the next room to the first star.
Uncle Rong nodded, and went down to buy the daily necessities for Chu Xing.
Chu Xing couldn't help but laugh, walked to the next room, skillfully pushed open the door that was a little stuck in the past, and there was a hint of musty smell on his face, Chu Xing looked at the tidy room, sighed, went around and around, and returned to the most familiar place.
"Why do you call me Dust?" She glanced around a few times, but there was no one around, and she asked cautiously.
"Because I met you in the mountains, and it is small and dirty, it is most suitable to call it mountain dust. He leaned over, put it in her ear, and sneered.
"Damn. ”
Her round eyes slapped Ye Ming's shoulder with a palm, but she immediately realized her current identity, was stunned, and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
"Lord, I ......"
"Shh
Nightshade's face changed, and he gestured his index finger to his lips, then turned around, and Undercurrent and Dark Eagle appeared outside the door.
"Master. ”
"Master. ”
Obviously, the two of them came over when they heard the news just after finishing their errands, looking at the two of them with curious faces, lowering their heads, and looking at the strange man with a mask behind the night from time to time, their eyes showed vigilance.
"He is a mountain dust, he will live here from today, take care of the king's diet and daily life, he is ugly, so he wears a mask, and he is a mute, and he has no aura, you take care of him more on weekdays. ”
"Mountain dust?"
Dark Eagle stared at the first star silently on the side, the doubts in his eyes gradually faded from thick to light, and finally showed a hint of joy, and the undercurrent tilted his head in confusion, circled around the side of the first star a few times, and looked up and down curiously, what kind of quirks does the master have, he likes to use the person he picked up as a personal attendant, last time it was Xing'er, and this time there is a mountain dust. And a mute. Although this guy is wearing a mask, there is clearly a hint of familiarity in his eyes. Tsk, this mountain dust, it's a bit weird.
Knowing that the undercurrent was powerful, the first star lowered his head and avoided the undercurrent's gaze left and right.
"Master, where does he live?"
The undercurrent pursed his lips in displeasure, looking at this strange little man who appeared out of nowhere, and actually wanted to live in the room of the first star, it was simply delusional.
"Hmm. Isn't that right?"
Ye Ying raised her eyebrows, this house is already empty, this little girl will take care of my living in the future, isn't it just right to live?
"Nope. ”
Dark Eagle tried his eyes on the side, and Undercurrent only swallowed it in a low voice.
"Don't look at it, talk next door. ”
Night Styx patted the undercurrent, glanced at the first star, and walked to the next door. There was only one person left in the room, and she stroked the familiar bed and hooked her lips. This time, I don't know how long I can sleep. She will definitely catch the person who harms the night and the soul, she can accept the separation, she can accept the loss, but she will never accept others to use such despicable means to take the night away from the night.
In the following days, Chu Xing was like a real attendant, getting up early, waiting for the night to wash and change clothes, setting up breakfast for him, when he was practicing, he was waiting outside the door, waiting for the dispatch, and when he was reading, he was waiting for pen, ink, paper, inkstone, serving tea and pouring water. Observe everyone who comes into contact with the night underworld, and all the food he eats will be checked in detail before being presented. Nightshade seemed to be as indifferent to her as ever, but there was a hint of indescribable concern in the darkness, perhaps because she couldn't speak during the day, they wouldn't quarrel, and there was no confrontation, and she became more stable and silent than when she first followed Nightshade and served him.
And the Undercurrent and Dark Eagle's attitude towards the first star also changed overnight, especially the undercurrent, always appeared behind her from time to time, teasing her, but when she needed to do some physical work, she rushed to help. There was no suspicion or fear of that night.
For a while, the whole palace was curious about this young man with a fox mask, the half of the face under the mask, pink cheeks and red lips, made people suspicious, and some people even said that her pair of eyes hooked the soul, not only did the prince like it, but even the two secret servants on the side of the prince also rushed to be courteous.
"Chen'er, tomorrow the fifth princess will come to live in the house, and at that time, you should be alert. Today, come with me to try on shoes. ”
After a while, Ye Ying shouted Chu Xing "Chen'er" very smoothly, Chu Xing nodded, she was used to being a mute in front of people.
She obediently followed behind the night underworld, thinking that in a few days, the night will be married, these days, the palace is all for this marriage, the lanterns everywhere have already been replaced with red, the red candles were all transported to the warehouse yesterday, the peanuts and red dates to be used for the wedding banquet were set early, and the wedding clothes in the clothing shop had already been changed and sent to the night underworld. The pair of happy boots I want to try today have also been changed three times.
Her heart was tormented, what was the point of waiting until after the wedding to cure the nocturnal soul disorder? She racked her mind to think about the people she had observed during these days, and ruled them out one by one. Suddenly, I remembered that when I entered the palace with the night to visit the old prince, the night was strange.
Ye Ge once said that Ye Hao likes Ye Yanyu very much, Ye Hao has always regarded Ye Hao as a thorn in his side, and now Ye Hao not only wants to take away his royal power, but also marry the woman he likes Ye Hao, but he is not impatient, the last time in the palace, when they ate at the same table, she did not notice Ye Hao's anxiety at all, but felt that under his light and breezy surface, there was a suppressed pride.
"What does Dusty think?"
In the shop, Night Ming stepped on the dark red boots, looked left and right, turned his head, glanced at the first star, and saw that she didn't react, so he nodded her forehead.
Only then did he react, Chu Xing looked at the pair of happy boots, showed a bitter smile, and nodded. Good-looking, how not good-looking, with the best brocade cloth, invited the best embroiderer to embroider the tie pattern with gold thread, why the fit has been changed three times, naturally good-looking. She felt her eyes sour and lowered her head.
Ye Ming's eyes were sharp, he looked at the redness in her eyes, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, he didn't speak, he just asked the boss to pack the boots and send them to the house, and then led the first star to the market, one after the other, the two of them walked through the streets of the market. Looking at the vendor selling sugar gourds on the street, Ye Ming was stunned again, he glanced at the first star behind him, hooked his lips, stepped forward to buy a bunch, and stuffed it into the first star's hand.
"Eat it, you should like it. ”
Chu Xing raised her eyes, a little overwhelmed, looking at the sugar gourd in her hand, she bit down on one, and the sweet sugar on the shell instantly melted in her mouth. She chewed, looked at Ye Ying still staring at her curiously, squeezed out a smile, nodded, and signaled that it was delicious.
