Chapter 238: Broken Branches (30)
"How's it going?" Ling Xiqian sat outside the house with a serious expression and said to an old man with gray hair.
The old man was shocked by his cold tone, and some couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
Although he is an imperial doctor on the surface, he is a chess piece that Ling Xiqian has placed in the harem inside. After being by Ling Xiqian's side for a long time, he can naturally get a glimpse of this master's emotions, and he definitely doesn't like this inexplicable woman.
And seeing this woman's miserable appearance, it must have been through the master's methods. He didn't dare to peep into his master's mind, so he could only say sneeringly: "She...... The toxins on the body have been unraveled, but the wounds on the face are probably difficult to recover. ”
Ling Xiqian wanted such a result, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, if she wants to smell it, just tell her so." ”
As he spoke, he didn't leave his head.
The housekeeper couldn't figure out what was going on, and hurriedly asked the secret guard on the side: "Why did the prince suddenly become so good, where is he going in a hurry?" ”
Chu Qi smiled and groaned: "Naturally, I went to see the princess, otherwise why would I be so happy." Although the prince is calm on the surface, only those who know him know how upset and anxious he has been these days, but for the sake of future plans, he still forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart and watched the situation happen coldly.
Thinking of this, he sighed, really worried about this highness who didn't know how to express his feelings. When will His Royal Highness's sullen personality be able to impress the princess instead of scaring the weak princess away?
……
On the other side, Xi Guan sat in the carriage with Fan Xiyan, and the carriage chosen by Fan Xiyan was very spacious and could accommodate more than a dozen people. Starting from the carriage, in order to abide by the distinction between men and women, Xi Guan followed the position of the two to the farthest place from Fan Xiyan.
Seeing her vigilant and worried appearance, her eyelashes fluttering, and her sparkling eyes were like a vigilant little beast in danger, people couldn't help but stretch out their hands to comfort. At this time, for some reason, Fan Xiyan's gaze gradually became gentler, and he even felt cute when he looked at Xi Gu'an - in fact, this person is not so ugly, although his face is a little uneven, but his facial features are still delicate and compelling, much more beautiful than the Oiran he has played.
The lustful Fan Xiyan looked at it, and his hand was a little itchy a few times, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: If this Xi Guan can be sensible and not entangled, he can still get along with her for a while, have a good time, and when he is tired of this person, it is not too late to get rid of it.
As for the aftermath......
Oh, Fan Xiyan is not afraid that he will be criticized, not to mention that it hinders his reputation, Xi Guan will never say such a shameful thing, and besides, even if this Xi Guan wants to save his image, or if he wants to take revenge on her, then he is not false at all, and directly named this woman who drugged and wanted to seduce herself and force herself to marry her.
A woman's chastity is obviously very important, no matter what the final result is, it will only be Xi Gu'an himself who will be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Fan Xiyan lowered his head and covered the smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at him with his gaze, Xi Guan had a creepy feeling, only feeling that this cousin was thinking about some bad things in his head.
She asked, "Little cutie, I don't see him in the right eyes, like a wolf, he won't have any bad ideas against me, right?" ”
"Probably not," the system sneered, "the host is disfigured now, and a normal man shouldn't have any desires." ”
Xi Gu'an: "......" Although what the system said is very right, Xi Gu'an has a kind of wanting to beat it up.
But what she said is right, she naturally understands that her current appearance is extremely ugly, and she doesn't think that she can rely on her appearance to attack any male protagonist and male supporting role, but he intuitively feels that this Fan Xiyan is beating himself with some crooked ideas.
"Tsk, don't even let go of the disfigured cannon fodder, how hungry this Fan Xiyan is."
System: "......" This is the first time I've heard such a complaint about its host.
"By the way, cousin, do you remember this? It's a place we used to visit when we were kids. ”
Hearing a gentle male voice coldly, Xi Gu'an's body shook inexplicably, only to find that Fan Xiyan was looking at him with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xi Gu'an subconsciously looked around and found that the carriage was driving on a country road, surrounded by an extremely beautiful lake, under the background of the sun, with sections of ripples, which looked particularly beautiful. 89 Literature Network
She recalled, when the original owner was a child, there seemed to be such a lake in her memory, when she used to live in the Xi family, she would secretly come to this place to relax whenever she was in a bad mood, and the first time she brought her to this place, it seemed that it was really a little boy who called himself "cousin".
Could it be that Fan Xiyan and the original owner knew each other when they were children?
Seeing her thoughtful appearance, Fan Xiyan also thought that she had finally aroused Xi Gu'an's interest, and she couldn't help but feel proud. He took advantage of this opportunity to continue to add a fire: "In the past, my cousin was very clingy to me and often called my brother behind me, but unfortunately I was not in good health at that time, and I returned to Jiangnan with an old illness not long after, and I couldn't grow up with my cousin." ”
Seeing the emotion in her eyes, Fan Xiyan's tone became more gentle: "Before, I liked my cousin very much, when I was in Jiangnan, I also heard more or less rumors about my cousin, and I heard that An An was going to marry His Royal Highness King Ning, I was very worried and upset, so I couldn't help but sneak over, in fact, I ...... ...... all the time"
He seemed to be reminiscing, and his words were reversed, but he still moved everyone who heard it. At the end, as if he realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, he waved his hand in a panic and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I just ...... For a while, my mind was uneasy. ”
Xi Gu'an lowered his head, his cheeks were red, and he looked away a little confused.
Seeing her attitude, Fan Xiyan was not worried at all, after all, he had already understood this little girl, simple and shy, but very traditional, even if he was tempted by other men, but because of his identity, he would not directly complain to him. It doesn't matter, he can wait slowly.
Xi Gu'an was shy and embarrassed, and didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the topic in a bit of a panic: "Where is my cousin taking me today?" I see this is the direction of the city, do you want to visit someone? ”
Fan Xiyan also continued to pretend to be stupid with her, and took out the words she had prepared: "I heard that there will be a poetry conference in the west of the city, I think my cousin is bored in the house, so it is better to take a look." ”
Xi Gu'an's eyes lit up, and his eyes lit up with excitement: "Thank you, cousin." She lowered her head with a look of loss, "I've always wanted to participate in the poetry conference, but unfortunately my father has always been reluctant for me to go, and ...... My status as a woman is also inconvenient for participation. ”
Looking at the loss in her eyes, Fan Xiyan inexplicably felt a burst of unbearable emotion rise in her heart. He didn't think about it, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, if you like it, I can bring you next time." ”
He smiled, with a doting smile on his face: "As for your identity, don't worry, I can let you dress up as a man, take you to participate in the poetry contest together, and communicate with each other. ”
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xi Guan was greatly moved, and her eyes were also shining, with a strong sense of gratitude and dependence, as if she was her own world.
came to an inn, and with the help of resting, he painted makeup for Xi Gu'an, although it did not completely cover up the characteristics of his woman, but if he didn't look carefully, it was not easy to distinguish the identity of the woman.
After changing their clothes, several people came to the place of the poetry meeting. Because of the location of the exhibition in the center of Kyoto, there were many people who came, but now it is only half an hour, and it is already crowded, except for the corner of the hall.
At this moment, the hall was noisy, and many sons and buddies were commenting on the poems hanging in the political hall, and from time to time they made exclamations.
"Good poems, good sentences. It is neat and precise, and it is a rare good poem and good sentence. ”
"This poem is very familiar, I don't know which family wrote it."
"No, I think it seems to have been written by a woman." He exclaimed, "It seems to be the young lady of the Xi family." ”
"Miss Xi? I remember that Miss Xi seems to be from Jiangnan, and she doesn't have any talent for poetry and songs. ”
"Hahaha, you guessed wrong, it's not that Miss Xi, it's the second miss."
"Oh, that's the ...... who can't get on the stage."
"Shhhh
"Hahaha, what's the matter, King Ning can still cover the sky with one hand, but if you want me to say, the two are really compatible, one has a ruined face, and the other has disabled legs, it's really an absolute match."
As soon as Xi Gu'an stepped into the room, he heard this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, and he lowered his head.
Fan Xiyan's eyes flashed, with a little anger. He sighed and patted Xi Gu'an's shoulder with a little ambiguity: "Don't you mind what they say." ”
Xi Gu'an actually didn't care about these people's words at all, and guessed that this was completely arranged by Fan Xiyan to embarrass himself, and when he was at his worst, he would act like a true son of heaven and save himself from fire and water!
