♂? ，，

As soon as Ziyi heard this, "Flutter! She laughed: "Little girl, it's not in vain that the prince is so good, and he is a conscience." “

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, her face was a little red, and she said with a straight face: "I mean seriously, you really don't worry about the prince?" ”

"Don't be impatient." Ziyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prince will come back in the third watch." Now, let's eat first! ”

As he spoke, the young man who had prepared the meal had already gone and returned, holding four or five bowls of steaming vegetables in his hands, setting them on the table, and placing two more bowls of rice on the table. Ziyi walked over and sat down without saying a word, but saw Gu Ruoxi still standing there motionless, and immediately said in surprise: "Why don't you eat?" ”

Gu Ruoxi walked over and sat down beside Ziyi, who handed her chopsticks to her, and then bowed her head and began to eat.

Gu Ruoxi held his chopsticks and looked at a few meals on the table that could arouse people's appetites, but he had no appetite. He begs for low-skilled.

It's really funny, when she was in the carriage just now, her stomach was obviously hungry and couldn't stand it, but at this moment, it was already stuffed with things, swollen, and she didn't want to eat anything.

The rest of the people were already sitting at another table drinking tea, but they still looked towards this side frequently, and when they saw that Gu Ruoxi couldn't eat, they all showed expressions of understanding.

Indeed, the prince of their family is so handsome and chic, and he is so unusual to the little girl in front of him, no wonder this little girl is so worried about the prince.

Ziyi glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Lanyi, eat a little bit, otherwise you will be hungry at night, even if the prince is back, he will feel distressed when he sees such a look." ”

What is there for him to feel sorry for? It's just a maid! Gu Ruoxi slandered in her heart, but in the end she still obeyed Ziyi's meaning, drank a small bowl of porridge, and ate a few mouthfuls of food absentmindedly.

After today, her impression of purple clothes has finally changed. The ointment given by Xuanyuan Jingxi was excellent, and the slap marks on her face had dissipated a lot.

While they were eating, someone had already gone out to inquire about the news. But time passed little by little, and there was no news for a long time.

At this time, even Ziyi couldn't sit still, she turned her head to look at Gu Ruoxi, gritted her teeth and sat back steadily.

Gu Ruoxi knew what she was worried about, and immediately spoke: "Ziyi, you are a secret guard, you have the responsibility to protect the prince, don't worry about me, go and find the prince!" ”

"Needless to say, I'm not going to leave my side." Ziyi shook his head and said, "The prince has explained, my task is to protect, and I can't do this." "She sat as steady as Mount Tai.

As soon as Gu Ruoxi saw her appearance, she became anxious: "But I am staying here now, there is no danger at all, wouldn't it be superfluous to stay by my side?" It's better to save the prince, one more person has one more chance of winning! ”

"I'm sorry, I only know that the prince's orders are greater than the mountain

Even if I die, I must stay here for protection. Hearing this, Ziyi said without hesitation.

Gu Ruoxi suddenly became decadent, this purple clothes seem to be smart, why don't they know how to be flexible?

She didn't think at all why Xuanyuan Jingxi would send purple clothes to protect her, who was now just a maid.

Later, after a while, Changsheng and the others finally couldn't help but send a few people to continue to go out to find out the news. When Gu Ruoxi saw this scene, his heart finally relaxed.

Only she and Ziyi were left in the house, and the rest of the people were either guarding in the yard or going out to inquire about the news, and there was a lamp on the table like beans, reflecting two lonely faces, and the shadows on the wall were so long......

In the more leaking sound, the brilliance in Gu Ruoxi's eyes became darker and darker, and finally she couldn't resist the sleepiness and lay on the table......

At the third watch, Xuanyuan Jingxi took more than a dozen secret guards, stepped on the cold moonlight and returned to this small courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, he saw such a scene, the two women lying on the table were lying on their stomachs even in their sleep, their eyebrows were tightly frowned, and it was obvious that even in a dream, they were worried.

He walked over and stood beside Gu Ruoxi for a long time, reaching out and gently touching her forehead, as if trying to soothe the worry.

The next moment, a low voice sounded beside him: "Master, are you back?" “

As soon as Xuanyuan Jingxi turned around, he saw that Ziyi had already raised his head from the table, looking at him energetically.

"It's too late to react, be vigilant next time." Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly, and as he spoke, he bent down and gently picked up Gu Ruoxi and walked to the bed in the inner room. His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were holding some rare treasure in his arms.

Ziyi had never seen Xuanyuan Jingxi have such a gentle look on her face, she was stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, she hurriedly withdrew and closed the door of the room.

And in the house, Gu Ruoxi was carried by Xuanyuan Jingxi for a while and suddenly came to her senses, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xuanyuan Jingxi's face that was close at hand, at this moment she did not find that the two people were in an extremely ambiguous posture, but overjoyed and said: "Lord Wang, are you back?" Are there any injuries? ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi's expression on his face softened even more: "I'm fine, don't worry." As he spoke, he had already carried Gu Ruoxi to the back room.

"What is this doing, Lord Wang?" Gu Ruoxi realized that he was carried into the room by Xuanyuan Jingxi, and he was immediately startled.

Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't stop, he carried her to the bed and put her down, gently picked up the quilt on the bed and wrapped her tightly around her, and then said: "I fell asleep outside, and this king didn't want to wake up, so I hugged her back in person, who knew that I would still wake up." Sleep well. So saying, he turned and left.

Gu Ruoxi looked at the meteor he was walking in great strides, and there was absolutely no injury on his body, and for a while, he forgot to speak.

Xuanyuan Jingxi was unharmed

It's great to be back! She was so sleepy just now, but she couldn't sleep now. God knows how happy Xuanyuan Jingxi can escape this pursuit!

This feeling is very peculiar, she used to be such a hated person, but as soon as he had an accident, she was worried that it would become like this, why is this? Gu Ruoxi couldn't figure it out.

If she can't figure it out, she doesn't want to, this day is frightened, and the heart that hangs at this moment is finally put down, and it doesn't take long for her to fall asleep.

At this moment, the courtyard was brightly lit, and Xuanyuan Jingxi sat down on the chair that Ziyi had moved, eating slowly while listening to several subordinates report the situation to him.

"Lord Wang, the guy who attacked you today, the dead and wounded, only one alive was left, and they are being controlled by our people at the moment, just waiting for the prince to fall."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi's brows suddenly furrowed: "No matter what method you use, you must pry open his mouth for this king!" Behind this scene, the master must find out!"

"Yes! Rajah! Several subordinates hurriedly responded.

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately turned around, glanced at Ziyi, and said, "How is the situation here?" “

Ziyi smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, haven't people already seen it?" Her subordinates have always been guarding the blue clothes, and she hasn't even lost a single hair. When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he frowned and glanced at Ziyi, but did not speak.

Ziyi laughed and said, "Lord, congratulations, you didn't see it just now." Blue Yi was so worried that she didn't even eat. ”

"Really?" When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately glared: "Then why don't you persuade her to eat more?" ”

Ziyi's smile remained unchanged: "The slave persuaded me!" If it weren't for the slave, she wouldn't even be able to drink a bowl of porridge. ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he couldn't sit still, got up and went to visit Gu Ruoxi in the inner room.

Ziyi seemed to have expected him to sit there calmly drinking tea like this, but the guards around him were all amazed.

They had never seen the prince so nervous alone.

Xuanyuan Jingxi came to the back room lightly, but saw that the person lying on the bed was still sleeping very soundly, as if because he saw him come back, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched. He stood there, the expression on his face changing

Gotta soften. He didn't disturb Gu Ruoxi's rest, but stood quietly for a moment before withdrawing.

When he came to the courtyard, everyone was still there, and he commanded in a deep voice, "Tonight." Be sure to strengthen your vigilance, this is not a palace, there are no guards like iron buckets guarding it, everyone should be careful for me! ”

"Yes! Rajah!! The crowd responded.

Xuanyuan Jingxi was about to give another order, when the purple clothes on the side suddenly spoke: "Lord Wang, where are you resting tonight?" ”

This courtyard is not large, with a total of three rooms

The middle room is the living room, and the bedrooms are on both sides. Gu Ruoxi slept in the west room, and now there is only the upper room in the east side, but the number of people in this courtyard is at least a dozen.

Fortunately, there are two wings on the east side of the courtyard, but they are relatively simple.

Xuanyuan Jingxi looked around, turned his head and said: "Ziyi, go to the west and sleep with Lanyi, this king rests in the east, and the rest of the people, half of them keep vigil, and half of them are in the east wing." ”

In this way, it is reasonable for Ye Pai to fall, no one has any objections, everyone discussed for a while, and when they turned around, they rested. Xuanyuan Jingxi instructed Ziyi: "Be vigilant at night, but you have to protect the blue clothes to this king." ”

"Lord Wang. That's fine, I'm worried about my side! Ziyi said, turned around and entered the West Chamber.

Xuanyuan Jingxi stood in place, glanced at the room in the west chamber, and then turned around and went to the west chamber.

This night, Gu Ruoxi slept very deeply.

In her sleep, she always dreamed that there was a dangling knife slashing at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and then the blood flowed, the scene was too bloody. caused Gu Ruoxi to almost throw up, and immediately after, she woke up, and when she touched it, her head was covered with sweat.

Gu Ruoxi turned over and sat up suddenly, she looked out of the window, the sky was already bright, and there was a kind of fish belly white on the window lattice.

"Blue Coat, what's wrong?" Gu Ruoxi was surprised, as soon as the curtain was lifted outside, Ziyi came in with washing water, but she was shocked when she saw her sitting on the bed sweating profusely.

"I'm nothing. It's just a nightmare. Gu Ruoxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately explained. As a result, she saw Ziyi taking a handkerchief and soaking it in water, wringing out the water and coming over to help her wipe her sweat, Gu Ruoxi was startled, her face was disfigured, if she asked Ziyi to come and serve her, wouldn't it be exposed?

Thinking about it, she hurriedly spoke: "Ziyi, everyone is a maid, how can you come to serve me?" Put the basin away! I'll just do it myself. ”

"But his face is very bad." Ziyi glanced at her and said with some doubts: "You really don't need me to help?" “

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Gu Ruoxi forced a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Ziyi looked at Gu Ruoxi in confusion, nodded and put down the towel in his hand and said, "Then speed it up, I'll go prepare breakfast." So saying, he walked out, not at all suspicious.

Gu Ruoxi watched her figure disappear at the door, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, she slowly put on her coat, got off the bed, and bent down to get the shoes on the ground, but at this moment, footsteps sounded again outside the room.

"Who?" Gu Ruoxi's voice changed tone.

As a result, it was Xuanyuan Jingxi who walked in from outside the door, he frowned and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said, "Since you are up, then hurry up, breakfast has been prepared." So saying, he left

out.

Gu Ruoxi: ""

She really wanted to ask Xuanyuan Jingxi, what does it mean for Ya to run around the maid's house early in the morning? Do you want the prince's face anymore? Fortunately, she had already put on her coat, if she didn't wear it, wouldn't she be seen by the other party? It doesn't matter if you don't see anything, the main thing is that she is disheveled and unkempt and unkempt, is she ashamed?

It's a pity that she can only think about these words in her heart, and she definitely doesn't dare to say them in front of Xuanyuan Jingxi.

After being stunned for a while, Gu Ruoxi quickly cleaned himself up, sorted out the disguise, and then walked out.

Along the way, she was pondering a question, this daily makeup and appearance is too troublesome, easier to be recognized, such as she sweats, cries or something, isn't it easy to be discovered? She had to think of a thousand, once and for all, way to do it.

I didn't expect it, but the living room arrived.

Xuanyuan Jingxi sat at the dining table alone, there were more than a dozen steaming delicate breakfasts on the table in front of him, and as soon as he saw Gu Ruoxi, he beckoned: "Come and eat!" ”

"What about Moyun? And the purple clothes, why don't they come to eat. Gu Ruoxi walked over and sat down at the table and asked curiously.

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately smiled: "Only now do you think of Mo Yunlai?" When he was assassinated yesterday, he injured his leg, and the king had already sent someone to send him back last night. As for the purple clothes, she eats outside, so don't worry about her. ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she was immediately a little embarrassed, she was in King Jing's Mansion, and Mo Yun took care of her, even if there was unhappiness between the two of them at the beginning, but that was already in the past, and then Mo Yun's maintenance of her, Gu Ruoxi also saw it in his eyes, but he didn't expect that he was injured last night.

"Is he seriously injured?" Gu Ruoxi thought for a moment and asked.

Xuanyuan Jingxi stretched out his chopsticks and sandwiched a vegetarian bag in the plate in front of her, and asked expressionlessly, "I care about him very much?" ”

Shouldn't that be? After all, I've known each other for so long, and I'm not a stranger. Gu Ruoxi pursed her lips in her heart, and said to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "No, I just asked casually." ”

"Eat." Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at her and said, "It's just a small injury, not to the point of worrying." As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a bite of the bun on his chopsticks and chewed it slowly.

"Oh." Gu Ruoxi answered, but she didn't eat the buns in front of her, she was used to drinking soup before eating, this is a modern habit developed in order to lose weight, and it can't be changed.

Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Gu Ruoxi didn't eat much last night, but her appetite was very good today, she drank a bowl and a half of porridge, ate half a plate of steamed dumplings, and three steamed buns, more than Xuanyuan Jingxi ate.

Xuanyuan Jingxi saw that she was eating so sweetly, and he couldn't help but eat a little more.

Meal

, Xuanyuan Jingxi asked Gu Ruoxi to pack up all the things, and they were ready to return to Jingwang's Mansion.

As for why it wasn't last night, but went back early this morning, Gu Ruoxi was full of doubts, but she didn't open her mouth to ask Xuanyuan Jingxi, she was afraid that she would be disgusted by him if she asked too much, after all, she would have to live under him in the future. Yesterday was just a night here, and she didn't have anything to pack up.

So, after a stick of incense, Gu Ruoxi followed behind Xuanyuan Jingxi, got into a wide carriage parked at the mouth of the alley, and returned to Jingwang's Mansion all the way, as for Ziyi, she was sitting in a carriage behind, on the surface, this group of people was very simple, and there was no prevention, but in fact, on the road they passed, there were at least hundreds of secret guards waiting in the dark to ensure that yesterday's incident would not happen again.

King Jing was assassinated, what a big deal this is, the first time it was transmitted back to the ears of the Queen Mother, she was furious, even if he allocated three hundred guards to his son, the emperor had nothing to say about this, not only that, but he also personally went to the Queen Mother's bedroom to apologize to the Queen Mother, and then sent someone to hunt down those assassins yesterday, vowing to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

In this way, the anger in the queen mother's heart gradually subsided.

When Gu Ruoxi and Xuanyuan Jingxi returned to King Jing's mansion, a group of people in the court had already been sent to prison by the emperor.

Gu Ruoxi didn't know anything about this, as soon as she returned to the Qilan Palace, she separated from Xuanyuan Jingxi, and after that, she saw Mo Yun struggling to sweep in the courtyard with a bandage on one leg, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mo Yun, if you are injured, you should rest there, what are you busy doing?" ”

"Blue Yi, are you back with the prince?" As soon as Mo Yun saw Gu Ruoxi, he was overjoyed, he looked at Gu Ruoxi with sparkling eyes and said: "There are only two of us serving the prince in this Qilan Palace, I don't clean these, do you come?" ”
