Early in the morning, when Chu Lixue woke up, King Chen was no longer by his side. Sitting up, he summoned Ning Xiang, "What time is it?" ”

"Miss, it's already time."

"Huh? It's all so late? ”

"Yes, when the prince went out in the morning, he said that the princess was tired last night, and asked the slaves and maids not to bother, and when the prince came back, they would go out together."

Tired last night? The conscience of heaven and earth, she didn't do anything, King Chen said this, doesn't that make others have infinite reverie? It's not good, his concubines still have to come to find trouble.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a maid walk in with a few plates of delicate side dishes, a bowl of corn soup and a basket of delicate pastries, "Blessed princess." ”

"Get up." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Looking at the food on the table, Chu Lixue swallowed her saliva, she was really hungry and her heart was close to her back, she didn't eat well in the palace yesterday, but she didn't eat supper after she came back, and her hungry stomach was rumbling in the middle of the night, but it was pouring rain outside, and she was embarrassed to let people get up to make her supper, so she fell asleep hungry all the time.

Chu Lixue gobbled up the breakfast, and the two maidservants were dumbfounded.

When did her young lady become like this? Where else does this look like a lady, it's just a vulgar man like this.

When there were only two people left in the house, Chu Lixue and Ning Xiang, "Miss, yesterday...... You ...... with His Royal Highness King Chen."

Chu Lixue understood what Ning Xiang meant, and she was afraid that even she thought that she had lost her body last night. Busy smiled and said: "Ning Xiang, nothing happened last night, although I don't know why King Chen said that, but I believe that he has good intentions, and I am afraid that I will be wronged in the palace." How? Can't you trust your young lady? ”

"Ning Xiang is naturally trustworthy Miss, but His Royal Highness King Chen ......, hey, Miss, he has killed six princesses, you have to be vigilant at all times."

"Hahaha, you girl, don't worry, your young lady won't be fascinated by beauty."

At this moment, the butler came to report that the craftsman who had repaired the house had been called in to see if he would go over and repair the roof now.

Hearing this, Chu Lixue pondered for a moment, "Butler, let the craftsman wait for another repair, and the concubine will go and watch it with her own eyes." ”

"Princess, these little things, you can do them with small ones, the heavy rain outside has just stopped, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, and the humidity is very heavy......"

"It doesn't matter, just get me a cloak. And I wanted to know why my house was leaking all of a sudden. ”

"Yes." The butler said respectfully.

In fact, he was also very curious, why the courtyard where the princess lived leaked rain, and even the firewood room in the palace did not leak rain, let alone the place where the master lived.

The group came to Hui Yaxuan, the craftsmen were already waiting at the door, the craftsmen saw Chu Lixue, they were stunned by her beauty, he didn't expect to see the princess, they repaired the houses for many large families, but they had never seen those ladies and ladies, even the maids who were waiting around them. Because those people think that he is a lowly person, and they do not want to pay attention to him.

"Master, why is my house suddenly leaking? But are the tiles broken? Chu Lixue asked softly, without the slightest reproach.

Hearing this, one of the craftsmen surnamed Hu replied: "Princess Niangniang, these tiles have been carefully selected, it shouldn't be, let's go forward and take a closer look to know what the reason is." ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue bowed slightly, watching the craftsmen move ladders and climb onto the roof, inspect tile by tile, and after about a stick of incense, they finally found the crux of the problem.

"Returning to the princess, the tiles on your roof have indeed been tampered with, you see, this tile has been pierced, and it is filled with rice paper dipped in ink, if it is usually not found, but if it rains, the rice paper will rot when it encounters water, and it will naturally leak, and these small wooden sticks are also sandwiched in the gaps of the tiles, even if the rice paper will not be rotten, the rain will flow down the cracks."

Hmph, it's really a clever means, I don't think it's the concubines in this mansion, they don't have a family background. Jing, there is not too much money, where to find someone to do such a delicate work, so Chu Lixue is sure that there are other people who are doing things on her roof.

It's just that she doesn't have the slightest clue who did this. Perhaps, what other uses do the other party do?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a warm male voice behind him, "Miss Chu, are you repairing the house?" ”

Chu Lixue turned around, it turned out to be Shangguan Tianyu, and immediately said with a smile: "Yes, it rained heavily last night, and my roof leaked, and it became a water curtain hole." Is His Royal Highness King Chen treating me as a monkey? ”

"He treats you like a monkey?" Shangguan Tianyu wondered.

The drama of Journey to the West rehearsed by Chu Lixue, Shangguan Tianyu has not seen it, so naturally he doesn't know who Sun Monkey is. Immediately curious: "Who is Sun Monkey?" Why live in a water curtain cave? Is his cave also leaky? ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue couldn't help laughing, this Shangguan prince is really funny, it's just a story, is it possible that there are really grandchildren and monkeys in the world.

If that's the case, what else is the conscription for food? As long as Sun Monkey is recruited and sent to the expedition alone, it will be a matter of minutes to wipe out several other countries.

"Lord Wang, Sun Monkey is a character in my young lady's play, it is a monkey, it seems that you have to go to Xin Yaxuan to watch the play more."

"Okay, I'll go another day." Shangguan Tianyu said with a smile.

Nowadays, Xin Yaxuan, which Chu Lixue manages, is one of the best performing arts workshops in the city, in addition to singing and dancing, there is hope to watch, from morning to night, there is an endless stream of guests, and every day's drama is to perform the day before, if you miss it, I am afraid it will take a few months to see it.

"It's so lively, why are you standing outside the house?" Ye Wushuang wore a bright red cloak and strode in.

"Wushuang? The last time I saw you, I didn't ask you how your injuries were? Looks pretty much better, right? ”

"Oh, Lixue still feels sorry for me, just that little injury, it's long ago." Ye Wubian said, and stretched out his arms for Chu Lixue to check.

"Lixue, Lixue, your name is really affectionate." From behind came the displeased voice of King Chen. Lixue is his wife's maiden name, where is anyone who can call her, won't he call Princess Chen?

"That's right, who is me and Lixue?" Ye Wushuang said with a smug expression. If it weren't for King Chen's understanding of his temperament, he would have drawn his sword to face him by now.

Immediately, King Chen looked at the busy craftsmen on the roof, turned his head and asked the butler, "Didn't the entire roof of the palace be renovated at the end of last year?" How can there still be rain leaks? ”

"Back to the prince, someone made some small holes in the roof tiles, and plugged them with rice paper dipped in ink, and there were small wooden sticks in those tiles......"

Last night, King Chen felt very strange, why did the house where Chu Lixue lived suddenly leak rain, I thought it was because the concubines in the house were jealous of Lixue, so they found someone to do something on the roof, but after listening to the housekeeper's narration, King Chen didn't think so, those women in the house are all people who can't get on the stage, who would have such a great ability to make such an arrangement......

At this moment, suddenly the craftsman surnamed Hu fell down from the roof, foaming at the mouth, his face turned black, and he looked like he was poisoned, but before King Chen stuffed the antidote pill into his mouth, the man had already returned to the west.

How can you get poisoned by building a roof? Chu Lixue wondered in her heart, where is this poison? It seems that the other party wants his own life, but he just let this craftsman prevent the disaster for himself.

Looking at the dead craftsman, Chu Lixue broke out in a cold sweat on her back, who was going to use such delicate means to deal with her? It's really clever enough, thinking that the poison is wrapped in rice paper, as long as it rains, the poison will naturally flow down the rain to the house, so that anyone can kill her unknowingly, it's really a clever means.

"Ye Wushuang, what kind of poison do you think this is?" King Chen frowned.

Fortunately, it was not Lixue who was poisoned, otherwise he would have lost her completely, watching her leave, but there was nothing he could do.

Ye Wushuang squatted down and looked at the craftsman's hand carefully, the black was ink, and the red and gray powder should be the Hibiscus Pill and the Yurong Pill.

"This is the powder of the hibiscus pill and the Yurong Dan." Ye Wushuang frowned tightly.

"What are Hibiscus Pills and Yurong Pills?" Chu Lixue said strangely. These two drug names sound like things that women use to maintain their beauty and skin care, and they don't make her associate them with poison.

"Hibiscus Pill and Yurong Dan are both materials used in some witchcraft on the rivers and lakes."

"The materials used in the witchcraft?" Chu Lixue was extremely surprised.

"That's right, these two medicines are used together, and with the magic of witchcraft, they can borrow people's faces."

"Can you borrow this look?" Chu Lixue was puzzled.

Borrowed looks? What a surprise answer, how can this appearance be borrowed? Even in modern times, no matter how good the plastic surgery technology is, it can't make your genes change with it, let alone in ancient times.

"Of course, as I said, I also have to add the magic of witchcraft, the hibiscus pill contains a large amount of soul-breaking grass, as long as this soul-breaking grass is stained on the skin, it can be poisoned and you can die, and this Yurong Dan is after the person has just died, and the person who casts the spell will recite a spell, cooperate with this Yurong Dan, and turn the appearance of the person who has just died into his own."

Hearing this, Chu Lixue was shocked, there was such a strange method, isn't that just painting skin? It's terrible that someone actually uses such a vicious method to attack the other party......
