Chapter 187: Incense (Part II)
One more chapter around one o'clock in the afternoon~~
Huaxi didn't explain, just looked at the gate of Tinglan Courtyard, and asked with a smile, "Did Miss Xun just go to see Miss Mulan?" ”
Xun Rou's eyes flashed, "Well, Mulan is unwell, I didn't bother when I saw her resting." ”
Huaxi glanced at Xun Rou, "This is Miss Xun's, you are like sisters, since Miss Mulan is unwell, why did you still let her follow her from Tiandu here?" ”
"Xin Yi and Yilian went to the palace, Mulan said that she was bored at home, so I asked her to come with her......" Xun Rou was a little embarrassed, and sneered, "Xu is a bumpy road here, she is a little tired......"
As she spoke, she stole a glance at Huaxi, and secretly wondered that Mulan entered the house without seeing her when she came back, and only called the maid to come out to see off the guests, and she didn't know what Mulan said in front of the princess. And did the county lord of Jingxian also know that Mulan was pregnant...... At this time, she heard what the county master Jingxian had to say, so she could only pretend not to know, so as not to be caught by them and suspicious.
Regardless of whether Mulan told Xun Rou about being in Yizhen's room or not, Huaxi looked at Xun Rou's evasive look, and intuitively felt that Xun Rou had nothing to do with this matter, and it was not enough to harm Susukino Kiyuki, and this time I didn't know what the hell to do.
"I see—" Huaxi smiled, "It's not early, I'm going back to the courtyard for dinner, and Miss Xun should go back to her residence." ”
Xun Rou saw Hua Xi's meaningful expression, and felt a little weak, but she forced herself to calm down and not let herself show it. Seeing Huaxi bypassing Shi Shiran from his side, the fragrance of hibiscus clothes floated like nothing, Xun Rou's eyes swept over Huaxi's waist, flashing suspicion, as if she had thought of something.
Hua Xi didn't see this scene, but Bai Lan, who was walking behind, could see it clearly, "Miss Xun is uncomfortable?" ”
"No, no...... I'm going back. Xun Rou frowned and left.
Huaxi asked Bai Lan what was going on. Bai Lan was also puzzled, but Xun Rou suddenly looked different for some reason, Huaxi looked back at the direction Xun Rou left, turned around and went back to the courtyard where she lived.
At this time, Xun Rou hurriedly ran from Tinglan Courtyard to the Luo Hotel, and the guard at the door stopped her, "Your Highness is deliberating, please wait a while." ”
"Deliberations?" Xun Rou slapped the guard's arm open, and said angrily, "Go, spread the word, saying that I have something important to ask to see my cousin."
"Girl, Your Highness has instructed no one to disturb"
"Let you report why you are so much nonsense"
The guard didn't move, Xun Rou was angry, "You don't pass it on, I'll say it myself"
"Girl, you can't go in," the guards blocked the door to prevent Xun Rou from breaking in.
"You're not letting me in, are you?" Xun Rou couldn't walk left and right to enter the courtyard gate, so she had to push it aside and glared at the guard guarding the door fiercely, "When my cousin comes out, I will ask him to punish you."
At this time, Yu Heng walked out of the courtyard.
"Three Princes." The guards saluted Yu Heng.
Yu Heng caught a glimpse of Xun Rou, "Who should I be shouting outside, it turned out to be you......"
Xun Rou stepped forward and asked, "Yu Heng, you came just in time for your little cousin to finish the discussion?" ”
Yu Heng heard Xun Rou splashing in the courtyard, and was a little disgusted, and glanced at her impatiently, "Hmm"
"Now that we're done, can I go in?" Xun Rou glared at the guard, who got out of the way.
Xun Rou walked in without looking back, just took two steps, and suddenly turned around and said to Yu Heng: "Next, Mulan has gone to find Princess Yizhen, and Lord Jingxian seems to be there." Seeing Yu Heng's face change greatly, Xun Rou pulled the corners of her lips, turned around and walked quickly into the inner courtyard.
……
Susukino was sitting in front of the bookcase, fiddling with four sets of porcelain vases in a wooden box with interest, when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The waiter entered the door and replied that Xun Rou asked to see him, and Susukino Zongqi did not leave the porcelain vases, and nodded: "Please"
"Little cousin, little cousin......" Xun Rou was full of questions, and he didn't know where to open his mouth after seeing Susukino Zongqi.
Susukino Zongqi closed the lid and glared at Xun Rou, who was hesitant, "What do I have to say, I still have something to do."
Xun Rou bit her lip, opened her mouth, stopped talking, and finally pointed to the wooden box in Sukino Zongqi's hand and asked, "What is that box?" ”
"Essential oils."
"But what are the things that Jingxian sells in the store?"
Zong Qi nodded, Xun Rou's eyes flickered, "This is not like something that a little cousin would like, but it looks like something that Yu Heng likes to tinker with on weekdays." ”
Zong Qi raised his hand to open the wooden box, his eyes lingered among the painted porcelain vases in those boxes, "I wasn't interested in it at first, but then I found that there are a lot of doorways here, and there are some meanings, so I want to try it on ......a whim."
Xun Rou grew up with Susukino Zongqi, and he knows his temperament and temperament quite well, knowing that although others are handsome, they are lawless, as long as he looks at it, whether it is a person or a thing, he must do whatever it takes to get it. If he can't get it, he'd rather destroy it than let others go. These playmates who grew up with him gave him the nickname "Jade-faced Yama".
"You, are you playing Jingxian's idea?" Xun Rou gritted her teeth and asked.
Zong Qi closed his mouth, raised his eyes to look at Xun Rou, his eyes were deep, he stroked his chin with his right hand, and pursed his lips, "Cousin said this unclearly, I don't know where I found out?" ”
"Last time in your house, I saw a few sachets in the things that Niang Niang gave away, saying that the two kings of Zhinan did not intend to mention some herbs for reminders, so you have to choose one to send, two of them are sleeping and calming, and there happened to be an embroidered golden silk sunbird made of rosemary, and you said that you wanted to give it to the two kings of Zhinan. It has a royal blue golden hibiscus sachet filled with hibiscus fragrance. I looked familiar at the time, and I thought that the smell was good, different from the fragrance of lotus flowers, and asked you to ask for it, but you refused to give it to me, and put it in the inner pocket of your clothes...... I just remembered today where I had seen it. ”
Xun Rou's face showed a sneering look, "That one is exactly the same as the sachet that Jingxian is wearing." With her relationship with you, she would not give you such a thing under any circumstances, and you must have had someone copy one as it was, as for the spices inside...... She was the one who entered Princess Yizhen's palace, am I guessing right? ”
A playful smile rose at the corner of Zong Qi's lips, "Yes, it's all right......"
"You have a crush on her? Or is there another purpose? Xun Rou squinted at Sukino Zongqi, her eyes full of doubts, and motioned to Sukino Zongqi to give her a clear answer.
Susukino Sokai smiled and asked, "How do you look at it?" What about another purpose? What exactly does my cousin want to say? ”
Xun Rou was surprised, "Could it be that you really take a fancy to her?" You know that she is nominally a righteous daughter, but in fact she is the illegitimate daughter of King Xin, and you are the same brother and sister...... How can you beat her mind? ”
