Chapter 180: No need to explain
"Now that we know everything, let's dispel those unrealistic thoughts as soon as possible." Gu Huanli avoided Shen Xixu's question and reminded Shen Xixu directly.
It seemed that he didn't plan to respond, so Shen Xixu didn't mess around, and then turned around.
She was about to leave, but she heard Gu Huanli's deep voice from behind: "Her identity ......"
Shen Xixu stopped when he heard this, and he couldn't guess Gu Huanli's words without even thinking about it, and then turned his head sideways with a gloomy face and responded: "Don't worry, I won't say it." ”
That's right, if Shen Xixu wanted to say it, he didn't have to come to the Murderous King's Mansion in one more move, and he wouldn't deliberately avoid Lin Wei.
Only then did Gu Huanli let Shen Xixu leave, and instead went to find Lu Xuan.
At that time, Lu Xuan was still feeling guilty for Shen Xixu's lonely face when he left, and he forgot to worry about himself for a while.
Lu Xuan was dejected all the way, but when he walked to Huanling Street, he suddenly heard a man's deep voice from the opposite side - "Have the courage to reveal your identity, do you regret it now?" ”
Lu Xuan raised his eyes when he heard this, and it was not someone else who came on the other side, it was Gu Huanli who Shen Xixu had just gone to look for with great momentum.
"Your Highness? How did you end up here? Lu Xuan was surprised, but then remembered something, and his eyes gradually returned to calm: "Her Royal Highness the county lord, she ...... Are you okay? ”
Lu Xuan didn't ask much about the side, just looking at Gu Huanli's appearance of "Xingshi asking guilt" at the moment, he knew that he must have seen Shen Xixu.
It's just that to Lu Xuan's surprise, Gu Huanli didn't comfort her at all, but shook his head directly.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but worry again, and thought for a long time before looking at Gu Huanli: "It's me who is wrong." ”
Gu Huanli curled the corners of his lips when he heard this: "Isn't it?" Something is wrong with you. ”
Gu Huanli privately thought that Lu Xuan must have regretted that he had exposed his identity on the spur of the moment.
But Lu Xuan hung his head: "I should have kept my distance from His Royal Highness the county lord from the beginning, so that there would be no trouble later." ”
Such an answer surprised Gu Huanli, and he immediately reached out and patted Lu Xuan's thin shoulder: "The world is impermanent, where are these things in your expectation." ”
After a pause, Gu Huanli asked again: "Are you afraid?" ”
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses after a while: "It's about the lives of all the people, so I'm naturally afraid." ”
She first responded to Gu Huanli like this, and then said: "But if I keep hiding it, I'm afraid it will bring more harm to His Royal Highness the County Lord, and I don't want to affect others because of myself." ”
Gu Huanli has always known that Lu Xuan is such a person, but everything she has done, there is nothing that can make her regret it.
"That's it, this king didn't expect you to be obedient, so just say it." Gu Huanli sighed helplessly, and did not blame Lu Xuan for not listening to advice and acting rashly.
Seeing that Gu Huanli mentioned Lu Xuan at this time, he asked him tentatively, "Does His Royal Highness the County Lord have any plans to go to the eldest princess to reveal my identity?" ”
Gu Huanli shook his head: "Don't worry, Ah Xu is a little hard-tempered, and he still has a measured way to do things, and your affairs will not be exposed for the time being." ”
When Gu Huanli said this, Lu Xuan relieved his heart: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
She probably thought that Shen Xixu could agree to hide it for herself, but she was advised by Gu Huanli, and he didn't explain, but just persuaded Lu Xuan not to take this matter to heart again.
Then he asked her about her position in the household department: "Have you been doing well in the household department recently?" ”
Lu Xuan nodded, pondered for a moment and fell into a struggle: Should I explain Li Ce's matter to him? But if he asks, how can I explain it to him?
Lu Xuan was hesitating, but Gu Huanli's pair of eagle eyes was keenly aware of the embarrassment on her face, and then asked her, "Why do you have this look, but what is the difficulty?" ”
Lu Xuan hesitated, but decided to inform Gu Huanli of this matter in advance.
After all, Li Ce has the support of King Chang behind him, and it is really difficult to compete with Lu Xuan's strength alone, if he wants to put Li Ce in a place of no return in the future, he will have to lose all the power in Gu Huanli's hands.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Xuan immediately raised his eyes and looked at Gu Huanli: "Your Highness, do you still remember the household member Wailang mentioned by the lower official?" ”
"Is that your old acquaintance?" Gu Huanli asked such a sentence coldly, which really made Lu Xuan not know how to answer.
He has always been confusing when he speaks, and he can't remember things clearly, but he hasn't forgotten this.
But who told Lu Xuan to prevaricate him on this reason last time, no wonder he seized the opportunity to make a joke this time.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to explain his previous words to Gu Huanli clearly: "Actually, there are some old things between me and him, but he doesn't remember it anymore. ”
This time it wasn't Lu Xuan lying, after all, she was the only one who remembered what happened in her previous life.
However, Gu Huanli originally didn't have much interest in Li Ce, and this time Lu Xuan said this, it seemed that the relationship between the two of them couldn't help but be ambiguous.
This has to make Gu Huanli cheer up his spirit, it seems that this Li Ce has to get to know each other well.
Only then did Gu Huanli raise his interest and take the initiative to ask Lu Xuan: "He is a mere outsider, can he still be embarrassed by you?" ”
In fact, he was hinting at the moment that under Chen Weizhi's protection, who could move Lu Xuan, after all, he had spoken for her and openly opposed others for her more than once.
Lu Xuan was full of thoughts on how to deal with Li Ce, and he didn't hear Gu Huanli's words at all.
Instead, he replied to him with a sad face: "I just learned about something by chance, maybe it is not good for His Highness. ”
After saying this, Gu Huanli's face instantly showed a contemptuous smile: "It's not good for this king?" The king should listen carefully to how it is a disadvantage. ”
Gu Huan is the fierce king in the auditorium, and he doesn't even care about Emperor Liang Qin, the Ninety-Five Emperor, let alone Li Ce, a lonely and unknown person?
Lu Xuan was hindered by the loss he suffered on Li Ce in his previous life, and reminded Gu Huanli with a worried face:
"Li Ce is quite deep in the city, and he is used to going left and right, slandering and confusing the lord, as far as the lower officials know, he seems to be colluding with His Royal Highness King Chang now."
When I heard Lu Xuan mention the relationship between her and Li Ce, Gu Huanli still had a rejection of Li Ce for no reason in his heart.
At this time, seeing that Lu Xuan's words to describe Li Ce were so unbearable, thinking that he didn't have a good impression in her heart, Gu Huanli was relieved.
However, turning his attention back to business, if what Lu Xuan said was true, then King Chang knew that the household department had always been loyal to the fierce king's mansion, and deliberately placed his people in the household department, then his intentions really had to be doubted.
Previously, Gu Huanli had always focused on dealing with the one in the East Palace, as for this Chang Wang, who had not learned since he was a child, in his eyes he was no different from an ordinary hooligan grass coward, so he had never taken him seriously.
I didn't think that King Chang would dare to extend his hand to the sphere of influence under the jurisdiction of the Fierce King's Mansion this time, but he really underestimated his courage before.
Gu Huanli secretly thought about it in his heart, and then asked Lu Xuan casually: "When you first arrived in the household department, you only met a few times with that foreign officer, how did you know about the private matter of his collusion with the royal family?" ”
Lu Xuan originally just had good intentions and wanted to remind Gu Huanli to guard against King Chang, although King Chang was not as thoughtful as the prince, but he was also a difficult lord to deal with.
But being asked by Gu Huanli like this for no reason, Lu Xuan really didn't know how to explain, she couldn't tell him that in her previous life, she was stepped on by Li Ce to maneuver between King Chang and the crown prince.
Lu Xuan fell silent for a while, and before he could figure out how to speak, Gu Huanli had already nodded: "This king knows, and he will pay a little attention in the future." ”
Lu Xuan was stunned: Why didn't he continue to ask me, he believed me so easily?
As the two were talking, a figure that had not been seen for a long time came not far away.
Lu Xuan felt uncomfortable just by glimpsing it, and when Zheng Yan walked towards the bridge over there, he couldn't help but scold in his heart: These two people are really a couple, and when they say one, the other comes.
Gu Huanli turned his back and noticed that someone was coming behind him, only to hear a pitiful voice, which seemed to call "brother" to Lu Xuan.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he immediately took two steps in the direction of the person who came, and the humble and polite appearance when he spoke to Gu Huanli had dissipated in front of that person at this time.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Xuan didn't have any good-looking color on his face, and asked Lu Qingmeng coldly.
"You have nothing to do with the Lu family's branch, I said a long time ago, since you chose to stand on the side of the Lu branch, don't step into the Lu Mansion half a step further."
Lu Xuan scolded Lu Qingmeng, thinking that it would make her see her attitude clearly and retreat, but she didn't expect that she would "pounce" and kneel down in front of her.
Lu Xuan was defenseless against Lu Qingmeng's sudden move, and couldn't help but be frightened by her and took two steps back.
When he came back to his senses, he scolded her with an angry face: "What are you doing here? Do you want to put on such a pitiful look to arouse sympathy? I won't fall for you again. ”
In her previous life, Lu Xuan was deceived by Lu Qingmeng's pitiful appearance, so she never had any suspicions about her.
If it weren't for that, it would be impossible for Li Ce, an outsider, to deceive Lu Xuan and put her in such a situation.
After being reincarnated and reborn, compared to Li Ce, Lu Xuan's hatred was more in his heart for Lu Qingmeng, a white-eyed wolf who had been sheltered by the Lu family's descendants since he was a child.
If it weren't for her revenge, relying on the trust and love of Lu Xuan's family to secretly poke and stab her in the back, the Lu Mansion would not have fallen so easily.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was full of anger, and he didn't want to look at the person in front of him anymore.
