Chapter 216: Persuasion
The next morning, Sun Xiaochuan, who had turned white, was still lying motionless on the ground. Because the king of Huainan did not speak, although someone came to clean it in the morning, no one dared to go over, and this person died. Early in the morning, the chief chamberlain came over with Liu Yuan's head to resume his life. In normal times, Xiao Liu Xi would have gotten up to deal with the government affairs of Huainan before dawn, but today he has not seen the king of Huainan rise until dawn. During this period, the chief waiter tried to urge Xiao Liu to be happy several times. However, the king of Huainan was like a different person, and he reprimanded him very impatiently and scolded the chief attendant away.
"Don't provoke Your Highness" Gui Wugui, who had just finished breakfast, beckoned the chief waiter to his side with a smile, and then said to him with a smile: "I have something to inquire with you, when you waited for your Royal Highness to change clothes yesterday evening, didn't you feel that there was anything wrong?" ”
"Waiting for His Highness to change his clothes last night?" The chief chamberlain was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to the old guy in front of him: "There is nothing wrong with Your Highness, and it is no different from before......
"I didn't say that Your Highness, I asked you." Before the chief chamberlain could finish speaking, he had already interrupted his words. After a pause, the old fellow continued, "Don't you feel that something is wrong with you? ”
The chief waiter didn't expect to ask himself if he would return, and after being stunned for a moment, he said again: "Myself? No problem...... His Highness gave me a leave of absence last night, and I went back to sleep after waiting. But when I'm older, I don't react as well as when I was younger. Don't look at me, I'm sleeping in the deacon's room next to me, if it wasn't for my subordinates telling me, I wouldn't have known that something so big happened last night......"
"Don't you feel like sometimes you can't remember a lot of things?" The old man squinted his eyes at the chief chamberlain. After a pause, he continued: "There is also a night when I lie in bed, is it good not to stick to the bed, after lying on the bed, the soul is like being sucked away." The more you sleep, the more tired you become, old man, I guess you still have nightmares in the middle of the night, are you watching yourself sleep? ”
"This one has ...... There is really a ......" The chief waiter was told by the old guy that the sweat pores were about to stand up, and after he swallowed his saliva nervously, he saw that the bedroom of the king of Huainan was closed, so he dared to continue: "I bumped into the evil yesterday evening, and I was thinking of asking your old man to help me take a look." Yesterday afternoon, I still remember that the last moment I was checking the money and potions given to the people in the city, and in the blink of an eye, the people arrived in His Highness's bedroom, and were serving His Highness to change his clothes. At that time, I was still wondering if I had hit some evil spirit, and when I went to bed at night, it was the same as you said. I was tired from sleeping all night last night, and I heard something whispering in my ear before dawn. When I woke up, I was scared, and I saw that I was still sleeping in bed, and I couldn't tell how I saw it......"
"That's right, don't be afraid. What's the big deal, it's to make the hungry ghost confused. He smiled, looked at the chief chamberlain who was already stunned, and after a pause, continued: "Think about it, is there anything suspicious about the people going to serve your highness to change clothes outside...... Let's put it another way, what was the last look you saw out there? Then in the blink of an eye, I was in His Highness's bedroom. ”
"One last look?" After tilting his head and thinking for a long time, the chief waiter suddenly said with a pair of thighs: "I remember, there is a person shouting about the smell of bathwater in the potion." I had to go over to prevent him from yelling, and I made eye contact with the man with the cloak, and then I went to His Highness's bedchamber. ”
"The man with the cloak......" After laughing for a while, he didn't dwell on the matter. At that moment, he took the wooden box containing Liu Yuan's head from the arms of the chief attendant, and then said: "Busy with your go, I'll send this head for you." By the way, if you see the man with the cloak again, don't alarm him, remember to come and inform the old man. And don't tell your Highness about this matter, there are many things these days, don't bother him because of this. ”
Seeing that the chief waiter left here with a thousand thanks, when he wanted to take his head to see Xiao Liu Xi. Suddenly heard a little noise from the white-haired Sun Xiaochuan, and when the old guy looked back at him, he saw that Sun Xiaochuan had gathered enough strength in his body, and said to Gui Fu in a voice the size of a mosquito: "I have tried the medicine too...... Let me go...... Don't lie to me, I'm immortal now......"
He turned around, looked at the white-haired man with a smile, and after smiling, he took out the quenched dagger that he had searched on Sun Xiaochuan's body last night from his arms. Squatted beside Sun Xiaochuan and gestured at his face with a dagger. This action almost made Sun Xiaochuan's heart jump out. At that moment, he used all his strength to say to the old fellow, "Don't mess around...... I believed...... This is the elixir of life...... I'm immortal now, I can't ......."
"Why don't you try it anyway?" Whether to return or not, he used the tip of the dagger to gently draw it on Sun Xiaochuan's face, and then used the blade to dip a little blood in front of Sun Xiaochuan's eyes. After seeing that his poisonous dagger was covered with his own blood, Sun Xiaochuan didn't take a breath, his eyes rolled and he fainted in front of the return.
"You're really bored" At this time, Wu Mian appeared behind him, and after glancing at Sun Xiaochuan, who had passed out, he continued to the old guy: "His hair has turned white, but what to do with him in the future?" It's enough to drag you down, and then bring this prank. Aren't you idle? ”
"We don't have to worry about this, being immortal is already a dream of people all over the world. Let him go by himself......" After finishing speaking, the old guy patted the wooden box containing Liu Yuan's head in his hand, and then said to Wu Mian: "Old man, I'll send this gadget first, our highness seems to have some trouble in his heart." ”
After finishing speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Wu Mian, and then walked to Xiao Liu Xi's bedroom with the head box in his hand. After gently slamming the door, he said, "Your Highness, it's time for breakfast, and I'll bring you some snacks for you, old man, won't you try it?" ”
The bedroom hesitated for a moment, and then remembered Xiao Liu Xi's words: "My subordinates don't know how to do things, why are you suspicious that Mr. will do it himself?" Please wait a moment, sir......"
said that it was a moment, and he waited in front of the door for a long time if he didn't return. Then the door of the bedroom was opened, and Xiao Liu Xi had already changed into civilian clothes and came out. He called for the chief attendant to come and wait, and at the same time let him in.
After sitting down, Gui Wu opened the wooden box in his hand, took out the head inside, put it in front of Xiao Liu Xi, and said: "Your Highness, the small dishes are already here, but I don't know much about the customs of your Huainan King, this should be eaten raw or cooked before eating." I cut it last night, it looks very fresh, I don't know if it will be bad if I eat it at noon? ”
Early in the morning, when he saw his eldest brother's grinning head in front of him, Rao is Huainan Wang Xiao Liu Xi saw it, and his heart was also cold. After he smiled bitterly, he said, "Sir, I laughed, how can such a rebellious and traitorous head be spoken." ”
After scratching his scalp, he was a little surprised and said to Xiao Liu Xi: "Your Highness, can't you eat this?" In the morning, I saw the head of your palace, the head of your palace, walking back and forth a few times, and I thought he was here to bring you breakfast, but it turned out that it wasn't......"
When he said this, he turned around, tapped the head of the person still on the ground with his fingers, smiled a little, and said slowly: "Your Highness still has food to enjoy, but this dead ghost is not so lucky." Originally, they were all the heirs of the old King Huainan, but Your Highness, you have become the lord of a country. What about this dead ghost? The heads are gone. His Royal Highness thinks that the fate of immortality is thousands of miles away, and this dead ghost doesn't think that the fate of the lord of a country is very different from the ......."
