"That's right!" Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded and said, "Master Hou, when the second lady set off from the Hou Mansion that day, you knew how many people she brought with her, didn't you?" "Old intestines.

"That's right!" Hearing this, Jinye Hou frowned deeply and said, "But these people are also the descendants of our Hou Mansion!" ”

His face was extremely ugly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi followed his gaze and landed on those corpses, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Master Hou, you said that these people are also from the Hou Mansion?" Oh, I guess I was mistaken, they should have died protecting Xi'er. As he spoke, he called over to Mo Yun and instructed him to carry the corpses that Kageha Hou was referring to to the front.

Naturally, one's own people and those of other families should be separated.

At this moment, Jinye Hou shouted again: "Wait! ”

Mo Yun immediately stopped his movements.

"Master Hou, what's wrong with you?" Xuanyuan Jingxi turned around and wondered.

Jin Yehou's eyes were firmly fixed on the corpse, and he didn't blink his eyes for a long time, as if he was settled.

Xuanyuan Jingxi quietly accompanied him and didn't bother him.

After a long time, Jinye Hou slowly spoke: "These people are from the Hou Mansion, but they are the people around the prince, not Xi'er." ”

"Is it someone from Shizi's side?" Xuanyuan Jingxi was taken aback and said, "Could it be that the prince of the world also secretly sent someone to protect Xi'er?" I don't know about this, Master Hou forgive me. ”

"Where is he protecting Xi'er! Who knows what conspiracy he's up to! Jinye Hou said coldly, said, retracted his gaze, didn't look at the corpses lying on the ground, and had no intention of inspecting it any further, urging Xuanyuan Jingxi to return.

Xuanyuan Jingxi naturally agreed, there are corpses all over here, even in winter, corpses should not decompose, but this smell is enough to choke, he naturally does not want to stay here longer.

When I came in, I walked very slowly, but when I got out, the speed was ridiculously fast.

Soon, the two of them returned to the village by moonlight.

Jinye Hou insisted on asking Xuanyuan Jingxi to find him a room, he went in to change his clothes, washed his hands and face, and then came out and sat down in the hall.

Xuanyuan Jingxi was cleaner than him, and at this moment, he had already bathed.

Different from Gu Ruoxi, there are almost no charcoal pots in the entire flower hall here, and the only one is specially prepared when I see the brocade leaves waiting to come here.

"Lord Wang, are you so poor? Aren't you cold when you prepare a charcoal basin in such a big place? "Jinye didn't know why, and he was immediately surprised. In his impression, His Royal Highness King Jing is very favored by the Queen Mother, he grew up with brocade clothes and jade food, and he is pampered like a daughter's family, can he stand such a cold?

But Xuanyuan Jingxi sat still, and when he heard this, he said lightly: "Master Hou, we only stayed here last night, and we were in a hurry, and the only few braziers were collected from the village, and they were all placed in the stream

In the child's room, she needs this. Oh, the one next to you, I specially prepared when I saw you coming. Originally, there was no one. ”

"Oh? Is this the case? When Jin Yehou heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but his eyes gradually flashed with a hint of joy.

No wonder when he first went to the brook's house, it was very warm.

This kid will hurt people!

"Don't be too bitter about yourself." Jinye Hou said uncomfortably, and after that, he felt awkward, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "I don't believe you haven't found anything, don't sell it, say it!" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, raised his head and looked at Jinye Hou fixedly, although his tone was light, but firm: "Master Hou, don't force me to ask, there are some things, even if I say it, you won't believe it, it's better to slowly peel off the cocoon little by little, maybe you can find the truth, but at that time, maybe you will even have doubts about yourself, how dare I say one more word in front of you?" Hou Ye don't ask yet. ”

He is a smart person, so he will never tell what Ziyi has seen and heard to Jinye Houhe, whether Jinye Hou will believe it is still difficult to say, even if he really believes it at that time, but one is his son, and the other is Xuanyuan Jingxi, doesn't Jinye Hou feel that all this is a complete set set set by Xuanyuan Jingxi himself, and Gu Xiaoye, who was deliberately framed?

Xuanyuan Jingxi would never take such a risk, and he would never give Jinye Hou a chance to think of himself like this.

Therefore, he took him to see those dead Gu Xiaoye's subordinates and gave him hints, but he would never say a word more.

Jin Yehou had known Xuanyuan Jingxi for so long, and he had never seen such a calm expression on his face, and he was taken aback.

For a long time, no one spoke in the room.

On the window lattice, a full moon slowly rose into the night sky, sprinkling countless lights on the earth, but the north wind was howling, and tonight, it was another gloomy and cold day.

There was a round table in the middle of the room, the wine and food on it were already cold, and the candlestick on the wall flashed silently, but it made the atmosphere in the air more tense.

After a long time, Jinye Hou said in a deep voice: "Okay! I won't ask, I'll check it myself slowly! Lord, farewell! With that, he took the wine glass on the table and drank it all, turned around and strode out.

"Father-in-law, go slowly!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said slowly behind him.

Jinye waited for a stumble and almost fell on the threshold!

He turned his head and glared at Xuanyuan Jingxi fiercely, scolded the stinky boy, and turned to leave.

Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at his back, but his lips were hooked, and a smile slowly appeared.

Outside the house, Mo Yun saw Jinye waiting to come out, but he respectfully stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, our prince has arranged a residence for your Ye lineup, just on the edge of the second lady's bamboo building, and the small one will take you over." ”

Jinye waited for a while, now

It's all this hour, and it's really not good for him to go back and disturb Gu Ruoxi again, and Xuanyuan Jingxi's leaf row is also intimate.

"Done! Take me there! He left this sentence coldly.

"Master Hou! This way, please! Mo Yun seemed to be facing Xuanyuan Jingxi, very respectful and dog-legged in front of him. Jin Ye Hou looked at his flattering appearance, and couldn't help but feel very comfortable in his heart.

No matter how powerful Xuanyuan Jingxi is, what can he do? In front of his father-in-law, don't you still have to bow down and be small?

……

Early the next morning, Gu Ruoxi woke up and was being served by Ziyi to wash, and the loud voice of Jinye Hou sounded downstairs, as well as Xuanyuan Jingxi's shallow smile.

"My father came so early with the prince?" Gu Ruoxi was very surprised.

Ziyi was grooming her, pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and said, "No, it's quite pleasant to see the two of them getting along, Second Miss, I'm really happy for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, a ruined voice sounded downstairs: "Stinky boy, who allowed you to call my father-in-law here?" ”

Immediately after, Xuanyuan Jingxi's voice came up with a smile: "Master Hou, I shouted for half the night last year, why can't I shout today?" Besides, you agreed, didn't you? ”

"Who said I agreed? I've changed my mind now! I disagree! Kazuba said with a huff.

Ziyi and Gu Ruoxi were a little stunned when they heard this conversation in the upstairs room.

Especially Gu Ruoxi, she never imagined that in just one night, Xuanyuan Jingxi even shouted at her father-in-law! And listening to his tone, Jinye Hou has already agreed! Two peach blossoms immediately flew on her cheeks, which was beautiful.

When Ziyi saw it, he immediately smiled and said, "It's so beautiful, you should let the prince come up and take a look." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly glared at Ziyi, motioned for her to shut up, and then tried to stop her pounding heart.

It's okay, she's not in a hurry, she'll soon know what the hell is going on.

After a while, Ziyi combed her hair, washed up, and came up with breakfast, at this time the two people arguing downstairs were no longer sound, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Ziyi smiled and said, "Second Miss, eat quickly!" Today's breakfast has bird's nest porridge made of high-grade blood swallows brought by Hou Ye from Hou's mansion, you can try it. ”

However, when Gu Ruoxi heard this, she remembered the things that Ren Jiaying brought, and immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "The ones sent by Miss Ren are not bad?" Why not eat those? Leave some of these for me, and let Miss Ren send the rest. ”

"Second Miss, this is the intention of Master Hou." Ziyi smiled and said, "You eat first, and I'll ask Yunduo to send some to Miss Ren later, how about it?" ”

"That's fine." Gu Ruoxi nodded, and let Ziyi bring food to feed her, her arms were injured, and she was unable to lift them at this time, so she could only

So.

Downstairs, Jin Yehou heard Gu Ruoxi repeatedly mention a Miss Ren, and immediately whispered to Xuanyuan Jingxi, who was sitting opposite him and drinking porridge slowly: "Who is this Miss Ren?" ”

"It's the granddaughter of the emperor." Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at Jinye Hou, slowly spoke, and told the scene of the day.

"It turns out that this Miss Ren almost suffered this disaster that day!" Jin Yehou sighed and said: "She can say afterwards that the host of Qingyun Nunnery sent someone down the mountain to find someone, which invisibly deterred those assassins, this girl's bearing does not lose her grandfather's demeanor at all!" ”

"Yes, it's a good girl." Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly.

When Jin Yehou heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he glared at Xuanyuan Jingxi fiercely and said, "You kid, shouldn't you also fall in love with this Miss Ren?" ”

"What did my father-in-law say!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said: "I'm just talking about things, she is Xi'er's friend, do you want me to belittle her?" When I say this, it's also for Xi'er's sake! ”

"Really?" Kazuha Hou was skeptical.

"Naturally, take it seriously!" Xuanyuan Jingxi replied without hesitation.

When the two of them said this, they lowered their voices, and Ziyi had been chatting with Gu Ruoxi, but they were not heard by Gu Ruoxi upstairs.

But Ziyi heard it, she listened to Xuanyuan Jingxi's father-in-law, Jinye Hou first retorted, and finally let it go, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

That's nice! The prince's long-cherished wish over the years is finally coming true!

She's about to retire!

After the meal, as soon as Ziyi took down the meal, Jinye Hou went upstairs to visit, but he didn't see Xuanyuan Jingxi, and he didn't know if he was gone or what.

"Xi'er, how are you feeling today?" As soon as Kazuba came in, he sat down on the chair next to the bed.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at him with a smile and asked, "Dad, what were you talking about down there?" ”

"Talk about your marriage." Jin Yehou didn't intend to hide it, not to mention that he came here today, originally to ask Gu Ruoxi what he meant, this husband, he always has to be satisfied with his daughter, isn't it?

"Marriage?" Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but be stunned, but when she remembered the father-in-law that Xuanyuan Jingxi shouted downstairs just now, her face couldn't help but turn red.

When Jin Yehou saw her like this, how could she not know what she was thinking? He sighed: "When you meet Xu Xian, you won't be so shy. ”

Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's it, this King Jing is indeed very attentive to you, and his character is not too bad." Jin Ye Hou looked at his daughter and asked in a deep voice: "Dad just wants to ask you, are you willing to marry him?" If you put aside him saving you so many times, do you like him or not? ”

Under the bamboo building, Xuanyuan Jingxi sat there quietly alone, and a crystal clear jade cup had been held by him at his fingertips for a long time, but

But he didn't hand it to his mouth for a long time, his hand was delicate and delicate, and his complexion was whiter than the jade cup.

He was also waiting for Gu Ruoxi's answer.

Upstairs bedroom.

Gu Ruoxi listened to Jinye Hou's words to ask herself, but her mind unexpectedly remembered the night she fell into the water, she floated and fell in the water, but her thoughts returned to modern times, where she was forced to marry by her mother, and then met Xu Xian.

is such a perfect marriage partner, but she doesn't want to marry him!

At that time, she thought of Xuanyuan Jingxi, very longing, expectant to think of him.

The love of her life, doesn't she understand it at this time?

If you don't understand, she won't be Gu Ruoxi.

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth, her tone was light, but firm: "Dad, that's right, I like him." Because in this world, the only person who can treat me sincerely is him except my father. ”

"Really?" When Jin Yehou heard this, he asked again: "Xi'er, what Dad wants to listen to is the answer in your heart, do you really like Xuanyuan Jingxi?" And not the things he did? Men are easy to change their minds, but it is difficult for him to change as a person. ”

Gu Ruoxi listened to it, smiled slightly, and said: "Dad, I've been thinking about this question for a long time, I like him, that's right." ”

She is a modern person, and there is nothing to be shy about admitting her intentions, but Gu Ruoxi is still a little embarrassed when facing Jinye Hou, an ancient father.

Jin Yehou didn't expect his daughter to admit it, he looked at Gu Ruoxi's honest gaze, but a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Good! That's great!

He can think of a way to get the emperor to agree to this. No matter how hard it is!

Every note that Gu Ruoxi said reached Xuanyuan Jingxi's ears, and he sat there, his figure was still as tall as a pine, but his lips were hooked, and the corners of his mouth had already revealed a shallow smile.

That smile was so beautiful that no one in the world had ever seen it.

Xuanyuan Jingxi was also so happy for the first time, his smile overshadowed everything in the room, and when the smile reached its peak, he suddenly raised his hand violently and poured all the wine in the amber jade cup into his mouth! Jinye Hou looked at his daughter with a smile, but he gritted his teeth and thought in his heart, I don't know how happy Xuanyuan Jingxi would be when he heard this!

But at this time, he doesn't have to pay attention to these, as long as his daughter is happy!

The conversation between the father and daughter did not last long, and since Jin Yehou had already understood what Gu Ruoxi meant. didn't ask any further, after all, the daughter's family has thin skin. He sat down for a moment, and then went downstairs.

Xuanyuan Jingxi had already drunk a whole pot of wine, but he didn't see the slightest drunkenness on his face, but his eyes were amazingly bright, and he was seeing

When Jinye waited to come downstairs, he stood up and bent down to greet him, and his movements were extremely skillful: "Father-in-law! ”

"It's too early to shout this, wait for half a year, you will get the Queen Mother." Jin Yehou didn't buy his face, and sat down on the side with a cold snort, but asked, "Do you have anything to do about the injury on Xi'er's arm?" ”

"Didn't the prince bring Imperial Doctor Xu with him? Let him help show Xi'er? Xuanyuan Jingxi said in a cool tone. Upper order chastity blood.

Jin Ye Hou glared at him and said, "If Imperial Doctor Xu can be cured." I'm still going to ask you what you do? Do you want to ask you? ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be angry." Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly, and said, "I have already sent someone to hurry up and find the elixir to heal Xi'er's arms, and I believe that there will be results in less than three days." At present, Xi'er's arm is also medicated, although the effect is not the best, but at least it will not make the wound worsen, presumably Imperial Doctor Xu has already told the prince about this, right? ”

"Really?" After hearing this, Jinye Hou looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi's confident appearance, and he was slightly relieved, but he frowned and said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, it is better to go back to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

"It's nature." Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly, and said: "I have ordered someone to prepare things to return to Beijing, considering that Xi'er needs to rest, my father-in-law only experienced a lot of travel yesterday, and the return to the city is set in two days, what does my father-in-law think?" ”

Jinye waited to listen to his father-in-law. His heart was really awkwardly tight, but there was also a hint of happiness, he nodded and said, "That's fine." As he spoke, he glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, frowned, and said: "It's okay for you to call me like this in private, and after you return to Beijing, you are not allowed to mention a word, unless you can get the Queen Mother in advance!" Do you understand? ”

"Got it! Father-in-law! Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately explained.

Jinye waited to see him answer so happily, but his lips were hooked up, revealing a light smile.
