There was a false alarm again, the play was finished, and the people dispersed, Mulan was taken to Princess Zhidu, and the four maids who identified Huaxi were also taken away by Susukino Zongqi under the pretext, and the courtyard finally quieted down.

Huaxi sat in the side room and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's finally all gone." ”

Bai Lan suddenly knelt in front of Huaxi, "This time the slave is to blame, I didn't notice that Jinhuan and they had different intentions, and they were innocent and wronged by the county lord, please punish the county lord."

"Father asked you to follow me to protect my life, but facts like this time are unguardable, you can't be blamed completely, you don't have to blame yourself, just be careful not to happen like this again in the future."

Bai Lan gritted her teeth, "This time the slave has been derelict in her duties. In the past, under the prince, if there was a mistake, he would be punished, so he also asked the county lord to punish the slaves and maids to show justice. ”

Huaxi shook her head, "It's not just you who was negligent in this incident, I was also careless, so it's not your fault alone." You don't have to worry about how to explain it to your father, I'll talk about it myself. You follow me and I am my person, and I said that if you don't punish you, you won't punish you, and there is no need to mention this matter. ”

"Yes, Lord Xie," Bai Lan kowtowed to thank him.

Huaxi let her get up, and said curiously: "Originally, I always thought that there were secret guards around the princes and nobles, but later I learned from my aunt that this is not the case, except for the existence of such people around Your Majesty, the emperor and the favored princess, the other royal people do not have secret guards with them, so I have always been curious, is there a dark force in the hands of my father?" ”

"This ...... The slave and maid did not answer the county lord well. If the county lord wants to know, he should ask the prince in person. ”

Bai Lan regained that dull and businesslike expression, and Huaxi smiled noncommittally, "I'll ask...... You go and tell Cui Ming and them, I don't live in the main house, let them clean up, and you go and help move all the daily things here. ”

Bai Lan promised to leave, and not long after, Cui Ming and Mu Xi packed up Huaxi's things and sent them to the West Chamber.

At lunchtime, Huaxi didn't have much appetite, and kept thinking about the matter of the previous day, and hastily used two bites to let Mu Xi withdraw the meal.

After sending away the people who were waiting, Huaxi leaned on the side of the kang and took a copy of "Collected Records" to read.

The wind blew the window softly, Huaxi looked up and saw Ouyang Zheng standing outside the window. She hurriedly walked to the door and looked, locked the door, and when she turned back, Ouyang Zheng had already entered the house.

"What are you looking at?" Ouyang Zheng picked up a few books, ""Collected Records"? ”

Huaxi said with a smile: "Well, I have nothing to do, there are too many treasures in this world, I don't know how many people there are, I know some, and if I have the opportunity to travel in the future, don't go to Baoshan empty-handed." ”

Ouyang Zheng glanced at her, lowered his head and flipped a few pages of the book, "Life in the palace is always much better than when you were in Dahua, is there anything unsatisfactory?" ”

"No, life in the house is good." Huaxi poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Ouyang Zheng, "It's just that the sky outside is bigger, since I came to this world, I have to go through and experience it to live this scene in vain." ”

Ouyang Zheng quietly watched Huaxi and didn't speak, suddenly, he felt faintly uneasy, this moment was like a gust of wind, obviously he felt it across his fingertips, but he couldn't catch it.

"I have something to tell you." Ouyang Zheng gathered his mind and said solemnly, "Xun Rou's fatality is not incense poison, but her corpse is fragrant, if you change to others, you will mistakenly think that it is caused by incense poison." ”

"Have you ever been to the Yilin Pavilion?"

"Hmm," Ouyang Zheng nodded.

Hua Xi's face was slightly gloomy, "Now that the guards are tight, you rush in, in case something goes wrong......" Before he finished speaking, Hua Xi was a little uncomfortable by Ouyang Zheng's scorching gaze, knowing that he seemed to care too much about him just now, so he closed his mouth sneeringly, turned his head to look out the window, and said nothing.

Ouyang Zheng looked at Huaxi's slightly red face, knowing that she cared about herself but didn't want to admit it, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, "I went to investigate while Susukino Zongqi was not in the courtyard, and I went to the Yilin Pavilion by the way, and there are people around me who are proficient in using drugs...... At first, he also thought it was an unknown incense poison, but finally found that Xun Rou's lips were slightly swollen, because it was not obvious, and he didn't pay attention to it at first. He concluded that he would be fatal only if he had ingested poison. ”

"Well, it's the same as I expected...... Hua Xi thought, on the surface, Xun Rou will not go wrong with the massage of the essential oil, but if the heather is added according to that side, it will have other effects in the end, it is really difficult to say, "There is something wrong with the Fang that Mulan framed me for tampering with today, and I suspect that Xun Rou must have been delirious before she died. ”

Ouyang Zheng nodded and said, "The hallucinogenic medicine also has a small poison, completely covering up what is truly deadly...... This matter is inseparable from Susukino Sokai, although he does not have full evidence in his hand to frame you, but he has the law to make you the most suspicious. ”

"He's already done that......" Huaxi said disapprovingly.

Ouyang Zheng looked at her with a calm face, not looking nervous and panicked, and secretly said to himself, "I can't stay here for a long time, do you really have a way to deal with it?" ”

Huaxi said with a smile: "See the move, a tooth for a tooth." If someone blames me, why can't I blame someone else? My father and the people of the Xun family are coming, and I will have my own way to deal with it then. ”

Looking at Huaxi's calm and relaxed appearance, Ouyang Zheng relaxed slightly, "Be careful in everything." When the king of faith comes, I will leave this place, and I will return to Dahua by way of Qingduo Mountain, and the next time I see you may be a little longer, you must be more careful, and wait for me to come back. ”

"It's saved. I'm not a noodle person, he wants to pinch and knead the round, and I don't resist yet? Huaxi pursed her lips and smiled, "You can rest assured, no matter how you say that my father is the king of letters, if Susukino Zongqi and the Xun family want to move me, they will also pass my father's pass." ”

Ouyang Zheng took out a silk cloth bag from his arms, opened it gently, and picked up the hairpin wrapped inside, "Come here." ”

"Hmm." Huaxi was looking at the window on the other side to see if anyone was passing by, and when she turned her head, Ouyang Zheng had already gotten up and stood beside her, holding a Qibao Double Butterfly Hairpin in her hand.

"This is ......" Hua Xi took it in his hand and looked at it twice, the two butterflies arched a red gold rose, the butterfly wings were thinner than the butterfly hairpins he had seen before, the gold wire was hooked, embedded with seven-colored gem pieces, and the fingers were lightly touched with tentacles, and they could be shaken twice, "The workmanship is exquisite, where did you get it?" ”

Ouyang Zheng reached out and took the hairpin in Huaxi's hand, and raised his hand to hold it in her hair.

The wind blows gently, and the butterflies between the temples of Huaxi shine in the autumn sunshine, which is colorful and lifelike. The sun shines on her face, like a fan's eyelashes moving lightly, just like the wings of her treasure butterfly, and her crystal clear eyes are rippling, like a pool of autumn water cast in your heart, turning into ripples, and to put it mildly, you will unconsciously sink into that kind of bland and precise beauty.

"Take it, this is my gift to you."

Huaxi was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and wanted to stroke the butterfly hairpin in her hair, but Ouyang Zheng grabbed her hand, "If you put it on, don't take it off." ”

"What's the fuss, I'm just like pulling it off and taking a closer look......" Huaxi put down her hand, pursed her lips, her eyes fell on Ouyang Zheng's wrist, and she couldn't help but pause, "You still wear this thing?" ”

Huaxi looked at the Bodhi incense beads on Ouyang Zheng's wrist, and the past in her memory came up again, it was a coincidence, it seemed that there was a providence, the gift she made to the princess actually changed hands to him, and when she met at the Mu family for the first time, if it weren't for this string of incense beads, she wouldn't have recognized Ouyang Zheng.

Huaxi took Ouyang Zheng's hand, and as her fingertips swiped over those incense beads, the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger, "The head and head are made by me...... You are a string, Brother Yin is a string, things in the world are so coincidental, and the fate between people is really wonderful. ”

Ouyang Zheng stroked his wrist and nodded with a smile: "Coincidentally, I didn't like these at that time, Cheng asked my mother to ask for it, and I also took one for fun, I didn't know that this incense bead was made by you at that time...... Fate is like this, some people have no fate, some people have no fate, after all, it is a pity. And the fate of you and me is predestined inadvertently. ”

"Maybe......" Huaxi let go of Ouyang Zheng's hand and looked up at him, "I'll take your hairpin." ”

Ouyang Zheng was overjoyed, took Huaxi's hand, and dragged her into his arms.

"Ouyang Zheng, let go." Huaxi was startled by his sudden movements, and pushed him to let go, "Someone is coming in a while." ”

There was a birdsong outside the window, Ouyang Zheng paused, turned his head and looked at Huaxi with a smile and said, "Don't let it go, it's not that I haven't hugged ......."

Huaxi said angrily: "You, where did you learn this scoundrel?" ”

Ouyang Zheng put his arm around her, rested his head on her neck, and said helplessly: "Xi Xuan has just delivered the message, and King Xin and Xun Yuqing will go to the other garden immediately." As soon as they arrived, I took advantage of the chaos to leave. This time it's really going to go......"

As soon as he heard Ouyang Zheng say that he was really leaving, Huaxi's heart was sour, and he felt a little sad, and his body no longer struggled, so he let him hold himself in his arms, and said, "Be careful on your way." ”

"Well, I will, and you should take care too." The fragrant fragrance on the tip of the nose makes people greedy, Ouyang Zheng sighed, "Say goodbye today, and I will have to wait a long time to see you again......"

There was another birdsong outside the window, Ouyang Zheng reluctantly let go of Huaxi, raised his hand to caress her cheek, and his fingertips swept over her eyebrows, as if to describe her appearance, she has grown up, although she is still childish, but it is a little more charming and mature than before, "Next time I see you, I don't know what I will look like again?" ”

Huaxi snorted lightly, "If you plan to see me again in three or five years, you won't recognize me......

Ouyang Zheng chuckled, held Huaxi's face, and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, he kissed very lightly, kissing carefully, "With my mark, no matter what you become, I can recognize you." ”
