Chapter 161 The Old Man Meets
Xiao He returned to his house and began to change. During this period, Wei Hongzhu came in to add hot water once, helped her change her clean clothes, and didn't know where the women's clothes came from, so she took them out and threw them away according to her instructions.
Stand out of the tub and stand by the screen to put the familiar men's clothes back on. It was the height of summer, and she wore a special chest wrap and shoulder pads sewn by Hongzhu for her, so as to slightly cover her figure. It's just that when I wear it alone at this time, I am a little clumsy.
Xiao Shi pushed the door, and wanted to ask her if something was going on in the palace, but as soon as she entered the door and smelled a faint fragrance, she suddenly realized that she was bathing.
has always been used to going in and out at will, Xu sees her wearing men's clothes, and he doesn't care about this layer. He was about to turn around and exit, but he heard Xiao He shouting from behind the screen, "Come and help!" He subconsciously followed the sound.
Xiao He turned his back to him and stretched out his hand to point to his back, "Help me tighten the strap in the back, I'm afraid this size will change again, it's obviously a bitter summer, but I haven't been able to lose a few taels of meat, but I have gained a lot of weight." ”
She babbled and talked about her daughter's family with Xiao Shi as a red bead. Xiao Shi couldn't help laughing, walked over slowly, and helped her tighten her belt. But this strap has to be wrapped three times, and after the back is tightened, it must be wrapped around the chest. Xiao He grabbed the belt tightly by him, turned around himself, and saw that the person behind him was not Hongzhu, and was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, I realized that my clothes were wide open, and a thin layer of chest cloth just wrapped tightly around the curves of my body, and for a while, the spring light was like a warm mountain wildflower blooming in February. Xiao He was only stunned for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, stepped forward and pressed it to his chest, and there was no gap between the two of them standing opposite each other - this was the fastest way she could think of to cover her body and make the other party invisible.
It's just that her movement was slightly larger, and the whole person hit him in his arms, touched his wound, and made him gasp in pain.
Xiao He raised his face, forgetting his situation, and showed a hint of schadenfreude, "When you are all injured, why, do you still know that it hurts?" She saw him looking down at herself, and hurriedly stretched out her hands to cover his eyes, ashamed and annoyed, "Don't look at it!" ”
Xiao Shi was pushed by her to take a step back, and there was a gap between the two, and the chest cloth on Xiao He's body fell to the ground without a belt. She was really in a dilemma at the moment, and the voice of Hongzhu came from the door, "Childe, do you still want hot water?" ”
"No, no need!" She struggled to reply calmly.
Hongzhu has always come and gone freely in her room. Xiao He was behind the screen, listening intently to the footsteps of Hongzhu gradually getting closer.
If this kind of picture is seen by Hongzhu, although he is not afraid of what Hongzhu says, it is just that Xiao He will not have any good color on his face. She first grabbed the placket of her clothes casually, and then pulled Xiao Shi to walk into the screen, and signaled him with her eyes not to make a sound.
"Hongzhu, I'm a little hungry, help me see if there's anything else to eat in the kitchen?" Xiao He casually found a reason to open the red beads.
Hongzhu didn't notice anything abnormal, so he immediately went out. Since Xue Liangan was rescued and lived in Xiao Mansion, Hongzhu's whole person has changed from the worried look in the past, and the smile between her eyebrows has also increased a lot.
Xiao He also understood that she cared about her brother, and did not arrange for her to do other errands on weekdays, basically leaving her to take care of Xue Liangan.
After Hongzhu's footsteps walked away, Xiao He came out from behind the screen, dressed his coat haphazardly, and tied his belt. I didn't forget to look back at Xiao Eleven, it was he who made himself so embarrassed.
"If you're not healed, don't walk around!" She sat down at the table and straightened her long hair in front of the bronze mirror.
Xiao Shi walked behind her, took the comb in her hand and helped her comb her hair, but asked her, "I heard them say, when you came back from the backyard over the wall at noon, you were still dressed in women's clothes, didn't you enter the palace?" Why did you come back like this? ”
His fingers were moderately strong, and he used a wooden comb to swim between her green hair, and skillfully tied her in a high bun, and the delicate person in the bronze mirror suddenly became a little heroic. Xiao He took two photos in front of the bronze mirror, and sure enough, the bun was for others to take care of, which looked better.
She tilted her head and said lightly to his reflection in the bronze mirror, "I was taken away by Murong's people. The ghosts in the palace were caused by him, and it was probably because I broke his game that I wanted to teach him a lesson or two. ”
"Murong Chengfu is very deep, and when we deal with him, we are originally seeking skin with the tiger, so we must not take it lightly."
Xiao He turned his head to see him with a solemn face, but when he heard him say "we", he was inexplicably happy, but he didn't want this emotion to overflow, so he deliberately raised his voice, got up and pushed him: "Okay, you are a three-year-old child, you don't understand this point?" If you are injured, you should lie down and don't run around. ”
Xiao Eleven grabbed her hand with her backhand, and when she saw her disapproving look, she was a little anxious, "I didn't joke with you!" Imperial Physician Xue's matter, I suspect that Murong is manipulating behind his back, I chased out of the city that day, and there were masters to intercept him, all of whom were very skilled. If they are determined to kill me, they will only have to take turns to fight for another few hours, and I will be exhausted. But they are tempting, and they keep their hands when it comes to killing moves. On the contrary, it is like an order to keep me alive. ”
Xiao He's face sank a little after listening to him, recalling that he was calculated by "Du Nanzhu", and muttered: "He is telling us that we can't escape, and we can't fight, so we can only listen to his arrangement." ”
Just when the two of them had their own thoughts and fell into deep thought, a moment of tranquility was broken by the voice of the little guy outside, "My lord! Outside the door, a son who claimed to be Murong asked to see him. ”
"He's coming to the door!" Xiao He raised his eyebrows, but stopped Xiao Shi before going out, "You go back and lie down to recuperate first, and this tiger will be handed over to me to deal with." ”
Murong was brought into the front hall, and the people couldn't help but look at his slightly weird mask, and he didn't seem to mind, sitting on the circle chair and waiting for Xiao He to come out. After Xiao He came out, he naturally didn't have a good temper, "I don't know what else Mr. Murong has to say, they all chased me to my house." ”
"Lord Xiao doesn't seem to be very welcome." Murong looked sideways at Xiao He, and there was a faint smile in his voice.
Xiao He tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a smirk, "How come?" It is an honor for Xiao to come and shine. ”
"Now that the Purple City Palace is solemn, I want to give the emperor a big gift on the Wanshou Festival next month, and I will ask Lord Xiao for a small favor when the time comes." Murong said lightly, as if revealing his plan to Xiao He, but in fact he didn't say anything.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart that this person could not be trusted, but he replied on his face: "Okay." At that time, Xiao will definitely cooperate with Mr. 's plan. ”
"When you're done talking, can you rest assured?" Murong said this strangely, and the second half of the sentence was even more endless. After he finished speaking, he got up, and the entourage who had been following behind him stepped forward and took off his hood and cloak in front of Xiao He, revealing his true face.
Xiao He looked surprised, "Yunjing! ”
I haven't seen him for a few months, Mu Yunjing seems to have grown a little taller again, and he is at this age when he is crazy to grow. Although Xiao He is not much older than him, he always considers himself an elder, and his eyes are also a little loving.
"I'll leave first, don't disturb you to catch up, remember to come back early." Murong and Mu Yunjing explained a word, and then turned around and went out. The others had already walked out of the hall, and they didn't forget to tease Xiao He, "Lord Xiao doesn't need to send him off." ”
Xiao He really didn't expect him to be able to send Mu Yunjing back, and he didn't expect him to leave first with confidence, so naturally he wouldn't send him off. At this moment, she grabbed Mu Yunjing's hand and couldn't help but look at him, "How are you doing?" It seems that in her heart, Mu Yunjing was taken by Murong as a hostage, and there will be no good life.
And the expression on Mu Yunjing's face took off a bit of childishness, he was more calm and resolute, and he didn't even smile, "Well, these days, I have been following Murong everywhere without stopping." Xiao He originally had a lot of things to say to him, but it can be seen that everything is fine with him, and there are thousands of words in his throat, and there is no way to ask.
However, Mu Yunjing told Xiao He about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, where he went, He Jing he met, who and what he met, and told Xiao He everything in detail. While Xiao He listened, he deduced this Murong's scheming from the side, as if he took Mu Yunjing around to practice, and let him make a decision alone in case of trouble. He wants to cultivate Mu Yunjing, with the way of the emperor.
However, how can a cloth cloth know what is the standard of the emperor and what is the way of the king. Even though he is well-read and well-versed in ancient and modern times, he has never been born in the royal family and has not been in that kind of situation, so he cannot understand the state of mind of a real king, and he is as empty as a soldier on paper. The one who becomes the king is not in his position, and his vision is not exhaustive, how can he fall into the way of the king in his chest.
But Murong's method of teaching Mu Yunjing did work wonders, Xiao He and Mu Yunjing parted for a few months, and they felt deeply. Between these Mu Yunjing's words, his demeanor and momentum were completely different from the past. At that time, when he first lived in Xiao's Mansion, he couldn't help but have a trace of timidity in his eyes, rarely smiled, and always had a gloom on his face that could not be erased.
Now he speaks neatly, can talk eloquently, and his eyes are as bright as the sun. Xiao He doesn't believe that people can make such big changes in such a short period of time, unless he is originally such a character, but he has suppressed himself for a long time.
If the first prince was still there and successfully ascended the throne, Mu Yunjing, as the prince, would have been the proud son of the sky.
It's ridiculous to say, Xiao He actually had a feeling of wanting to thank Murong, for the plants that have grown in depression for a long time, he has forgotten the temperature of the sun. Therefore, if Mu Yunjing had been in the Xiao Mansion, she would definitely not have thought of how to teach him to regain the light in his heart.
In addition to revenge, there should be more beautiful things in the world. It's just a pity that they don't have anything to do with her.
She couldn't do it, but Murong did it.
But she faintly felt that this Murong seemed to have some relationship with the Mu family's royal family, and this origin was not only as simple as the old department of the former prince and the old man he said.
