Chapter 256: Grafting

Xuanyuan Han was wondering, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly saw Cheng Liang rolling up the portrait of the guardian spread out on the case, holding the scroll that Lu Xian gave to Lu Tianjiao in his hand and was about to leave, Xuanyuan Han hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait, show the painting in your hand to this king." ”

"Your Highness, didn't Dean Lu say that this painting was made last night for Miss Lu's portrait, Your Highness... What do you want to see? When Cheng Liang heard this, he was stunned at him, and he only felt that he was hallucinating.

For Lu Tianjiao, even if he is dressed up carefully, or with affection, a little bird, or standing in front of his master coquettishly, it is not necessarily that he has looked at her directly. But now, he wanted to see her portrait. What's more, the shocking revelation of the night of the Lantern Festival is still vivid in my mind and has not been dispersed.

Just when he was still thinking about the truth and the fake, Xuanyuan Han had already paced to his side in person, stretched out his hand and slowly pulled out Cheng Liangzheng's stunned painting scroll from his hand.

I saw Xuanyuan Han stunned for a moment at the rolled up scroll, and then said quietly, "Lu Xian, he has never dared to be so bold, and let this king transfer the portrait of Lu Tianjiao to him for him." The reason why he did this deliberately must have been to draw the king's attention to the painting. In this painting... There must be a hidden mystery. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Liang finally came to his senses, "I see, my subordinates still think that Your Highness, you ...... Miss Lu."

As soon as the words were spoken, Xuanyuan Han instantly choked back all the remaining words with a very cold look.

Xuanyuan Hanwu returned to the desk where the portrait of the guardian was located and sat down, took the two painting scrolls in his hands, inside and out, carefully studied this for a long time, and said, "After so many years, he finally fulfilled his mission, found a way, and completed the restoration of the portrait of the guardian." But why did this king confess such an important thing to him, but this king did not know until after the royal brother? ”

"Judging from Lu Xian's personality and loyalty to His Highness, he shouldn't betray His Highness!" Cheng Liang is also puzzled.

"Could it be... It must have been the eyes and ears of the palace in the Xiqin Academy, and he couldn't wait to report to discuss with the king, so he was already the first to be taken by the imperial brother. Xuanyuan Han suddenly remembered that he met Mei Zhixuan in the early morning, and couldn't help but think of it.

Over the years, how could he not know that he and the Qin Wangfu had always been under close surveillance by the emperor. If he met Mei Zhixuan privately for no reason, the suspicious emperor didn't know what to do.

Cheng Liang was stunned when he heard this, "Then the emperor asked Lu Xian to bring this portrait of the guardian to His Royal Highness......"

Before Cheng Liang finished asking, Xuanyuan Han blurted out, "Is it a painting that Lu Xian copied according to the original handwriting?" ”

At this time, Lu Xian's words suddenly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but mutter, "I was bored last night, and I made this portrait from memory, so I ask His Highness to transfer it to the little girl......"

Xuanyuan Han was thinking about it, and suddenly hurriedly opened the portrait of the guardian and the portrait of Lu Tianjiao at the same time and spread it on the desk.

After examining it carefully, he said, "The ink on both paintings seems to have not yet dried thoroughly, and it is true that they were made at the same time last night, so there should be no doubt." ”

Cheng Liang also looked at it on the sidelines, and wondered, "Will the emperor force Lu Xian to do anything on the portrait of the guardian he copied?" Is the Guardian's appearance actually fake? ”

"No, since he decreed that this king will spare no effort to find the guardian, he will definitely paint a portrait of the true guardian of this king." Xuanyuan Han stared closely at the face on Lu Tianjiao's portrait that seemed to be a little strange, and affirmed.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly exploded, "Unless these two portraits of the guardians are fake." ”

"What, it's all fake? That is to say, Lu Xian has not completed the restoration of the guardian's portrait, so isn't he a bully? Cheng Liang's eyes widened for a while, and he said in surprise.

I saw that Xuanyuan Han was completely disdainful of what Cheng Liang said at this time, and his deep eyes were always staring at the rare and beautiful pair of phoenix eyes in the world on Lu Tianjiao's portrait, as if he was going to suck his whole person into the eyes in the painting, which made people very fascinated.

After a while, he suddenly asked in a daze, "Cheng Liang, in your memory, Lu Tianjiao, does she have a pair of phoenix eyes that are rare in the world?" ”

Cheng Liang was suddenly asked like this, and couldn't help but think of the smile when Lu Tianjiao came to his courtyard to look for him a few days ago and asked him to send someone to escort Mei Xiyuan to the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city, and then looked at the pair of blazing eyes on the portrait, and said, "Miss Lu's eyes, it doesn't seem to be like this." In the portrait, the eyes are the soul of a person. This Lu Xian is so old and confused that he can't even remember what his own daughter's eyes look like. ”

When Xuanyuan Han heard what Cheng Liang said, he stared at his face in surprise and said seriously, "Oh, isn't that so?" ”

"It's definitely not like this, my subordinates think that Miss Lu's eyes are relatively round, and they should be small round eyes. The eyes are round, the width of the palpebral fissure is short, the whites of the eyes are less exposed, and the eyeballs are small, in fact, they are quite cute and immature by nature, but it's a pity that they ......" Cheng Liang looked at Lu Tianjiao's portrait quite seriously, shook his head at it, and said with great regret.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Han, whose eyes had been wandering away from the eyes of the two women's portraits, seemed to understand completely in an instant, and said, "Could it be...'Transferring flowers and grafting trees', Cheng Liang, grinding ink!" ”

"'Grafting'... Yes? Your Highness, are you going to ......" Cheng Liang said while feeling puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward and began to grind the ink.

Xuanyuan Han picked up the brush, and while hurriedly copying Lu Xian's painting on the blank paper, he seemed to be in a rare mood and said, "This king knows why Lu Xian wants to say that this king will transfer this painting?" He knew that the king would not look at any woman's portrait, except the Guardian. Therefore, he deliberately told this king to take a good look at Lu Tianjiao's painting. You were right when you said, 'In a portrait, the eyes are the soul of a person'. The eyes in Lu Tianjiao's portrait are not her real eyes, but the eyes of the guardian. The king heard that the guardian was very beautiful, 'his hands were like soft wattles, his skin was like clotted fat, his collar was like a grub, his teeth were like a rhinoceros, his head was like a moth's eyebrows, his smile was clever, and his eyes were beautiful. Like a fairy of the Nine Heavens who has fallen into the mortal dust. How could it be as good as Lu Tianjiao's eyes. Instead, if you look at the eyes on the portrait of the guardian, they are the small round eyes of Lu Tianjiao that you just said. ”

Cheng Liang seemed to be confused when he heard these words, and only understood the last sentence, which was to say that the eyes on the portrait of the guardian were small round eyes. Then he looked at the past and couldn't help but be delighted, "It's really yes!" ”

Xuanyuan Han wrote hard and continued, "So, paint a portrait of Lu Tianjiao

A pair of good-looking phoenix eyes that are rare in the world that do not match their actual appearance, replacing the small round eyes on the portrait of the guardian, this... is what a true guardian looks like. ”

While the two were talking, the face of the Guardian copied by Xuanyuan Han had been drawn separately.

At this time, Xuanyuan Han's eyes suddenly stunned him, as if he was stunned. However, it wasn't because of the Guardian's finally restored beauty that even he couldn't tell what was amazing.

After a while, I only heard him whisper to Cheng Liang, who was looking forward to Cheng Liang beside him, "Cheng Liang, do you think this person is a little familiar?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates do feel a little familiar, as if they have seen it somewhere." Cheng Liang looked at it carefully for a long time and said.

"Where have you seen it?" Xuanyuan Han asked himself silently in his heart.

For a while, the room in the hall was silent, only the cheerful and bright candle flame never stopped swaying, and the wisps of cigarette smoke floated continuously......

It was night, in the palace of the Western Qin.

After Lu Xian's father and son returned to the palace and returned to the emperor, they hurriedly walked out of the palace gate and returned to the Western Qin Academy.

At this time, the Grand Duke hurriedly stepped into the palace, and after saluting, he approached the emperor's side and said to him, "Your Majesty, the person who escorted Lu Xian to the Qin Palace's mansion came back and said that Lu Xian did not say anything more to the King of Qin except for the decree. It's just that... After Lu Xian finished copying the portrait of the guardian last night, he also made a portrait of his daughter, and he didn't want to bring it to the Qin Palace's mansion today for people to hand over to his daughter. ”

"Portrait of Lu Xian's daughter... Have you checked what is wrong? The emperor stopped the tea soup in his hand and said suspiciously.

"The materials used in the painting are all from the palace, and the servants have personally carefully checked them many times, but they have not found anything unusual." Seeing this, the Grand Duke was still faintly a little afraid in his heart, but he still replied with certainty.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple...... In any case, the next thing is very important, and we must send someone to keep an eye on the Qin Wangfu and the Western Qin Academy. In order to find the guardian just in case, it can't all rely on King Qin, and in addition, a group of elite Deadpools must be sent to the spiritual sky to find it as soon as possible, and if there is any trouble, report it immediately. The emperor half-narrowed his eyes, revealing a serious and determined face.

"However, Your Majesty, you are the true son of the Western Qin Kingdom, why do you have to find the guardian and put it in front of you? It is rumored that the guardian is neither a minister nor a nobleman, not subject to the control of the imperial court, nor does she take advantage of the imperial court, as long as she exists in a certain corner of this world, she can telepathize with the Son of Heaven and try to relieve him of the crisis......"

Unexpectedly, before the Grand Duke's words were finished, he was silently silenced by the emperor's cold eyes, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say more.

After a while, the Grand Duke once again cautiously reminded, "Your Majesty, according to the rules, the portrait of the guardian should be kept by the empress of the current dynasty for emergencies. ”

"After the copy is made, give the original to the queen!" Dimo paused for a long time and said.

"Yes!"

At this point, the Grand Duke was about to retreat, and the emperor hurriedly added, "Also, send someone to check carefully, that Lu Xian's daughter, whether she really received a gift from her father, or... That painting... There is something else! ”
