Chapter 9: The Woman in the Painting

_Plundering love: Wrong on the king's couch!~; _!~;

"Lord Wang. Miss Li from the Prime Minister's Mansion is here."

Don't wait for Ximen Yichen to ask for an answer. The steward came to report it.

LI Xueyun. Simon remembered that he had thrown her into the mountains and forests. It is estimated that it took a lot of effort to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this time, I came overnight and didn't know what was going on.

"Let her in." Simon Zhe rubbed his aching head. Road.

"The courtiers have seen the prince." Li Xueyun said after seeing Ximen Zhe.

Ximen Zhe found a little girl following behind Li Xueyun. It was the one who gave him the fruit.

The little girl was very scared when she saw Simon Zhe. has been hiding behind Li Xueyun.

"Apricot is not afraid. Tell the prince what you know." Li Xueyun squatted down. Said softly to Apricot.

Apricot pursed her lips. It seems to be trying very hard to let yourself go. whispered. Rajah. That fruit wasn't the first thing Xing'er thought of for the prince. It's a purple-clothed sister. She whispered to Xing'er that she should know how to behave. Sister Xueyun gave us so many good things. Apricot should also know how to pay tribute to the prince. Although the fruit is small. But it's also the heart of the apricot. The prince will take it."

"Hmm. It's all right. The king will not blame you." Simon Zhe said calmly.

At this time, Simon Zhe had already changed his clothes. The spirit is the same as usual. It's just that there is a wound on the head bandaged.

"Lord Wang. Are you really all right?" Li Xueyun asked cautiously. The prince left unwell. The courtiers have been worried. Later, after thinking about it, he returned to the Guandi Temple. After inquiry, I heard something strange from the mouth of the apricot. I heard that the prince returned home. The courtiers hurried with the apricots. Presumably, Xing'er's words are useful to the prince."

"The woman in purple has been killed by this king." Ximen Zhe glanced at Li Xueyunran, and the king was also a little injured. But it's all right."

"The prince has already found out." Li Xueyun asked.

"Chen'er. Let the housekeeper find someone to escort Miss Li back to the house." Simon Zhe was clearly reluctant to say more. An eviction order was issued.

"The courtiers retired." Li Xueyun pulled the apricot and blessed her body.

"Father. What poison did you get. It's been completely solved." After the crowd is gone. Ximen Yichen stood beside Ximen Zhe uncomfortably and asked.

"Chen'er rest assured. Father is really fine." Ximen Zhe smiled and pulled Yichen to his side. The details of the poisoning can be guessed except for Li Xueyun. He wouldn't say it to anyone.

Just looked. Li Xueyun is indeed smart. Knowing to return to Guandi Temple to ask Apricot. Look for the root of the problem. So. Clever as she is. Also know what to say and what not to say.

After that, Simon Zhe ordered someone to find out about Mrs. Peach.

It's getting late. Simon Yichen went to sleep. Simon Zhe sat alone in his study. Sleepless. When I close my eyes, I always think of the face I encountered.

She knows who she is. Will you come to the West Palace?

Things have been going on for a month before you know it. The weather is getting cooler. There is already the breath of autumn.

Simon Zhe sits in the study. Staring at the portrait in your hand. It was a bright and pretty woman. Big eyes sparkle smartly. At first glance, you can't see how beautiful and stunning. But the more you look at it, the more you can taste the unique fresh smell from the field.

This is a portrait that Simon Zhe personally painted in order to send someone to find her. He had thought that the woman would come to the door automatically when she learned of his identity as the king of the west. Who in the world does not know that there is an empty seat of the mistress in the palace of the West King. Even if you can't be the princess of the West. Being able to set foot in the West Mansion is also a dream of many women.

He was only twenty-nine years old. It's the year of the year.

But it's been a month. The woman was never heard from. The people he sent traveled all over the capital and inside and outside the capital, but there was no clue.

It was the woman's unexpected failure to show up that aroused Simon Zhe's interest. The more there is no news. The more I feel distraught. I'm always thinking about finding that chance encounter. And also......

Simon Zhe touched the back of his head, which had been scabbed. Smashed by a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts. The perpetrator must be found.

He regretted it a little. I was nervous. Didn't listen carefully to the name of the distant call. If you know a name. It won't be like looking for a needle in a haystack like it is now.

Or. She has left the capital.

This is Simon Zhe's guess after searching for it. I want him to be a dignified prince of the West. I couldn't find a single woman.

"Brother Yichen. Uncle Huang is looking at the portrait again."

Simon also prayed to hide under the windowsill of the study. Whispered to Ximen Yichen.

"Brother Yichen. Is the person in the painting the sweetheart of the Four Emperor Uncles?" Simon Yimeng asked in a low voice. Isn't it the imperial aunt that Uncle Huang fancies?"

Ximen Yichen shook his head. I don't know. My father never mentioned it."

Then keep your voice as low as you can." It must have something to do with my father's injury."

"I can hurt Uncle Huang. That woman must also be a master of martial arts." Simon Yimeng was a little excited. She envies people with strong martial arts the most. Like the father. Like a queen mother. But she always didn't learn well. Born on the same day. But she was not as high as her brother's martial arts skills.

Three children are hiding under the wall and talking. They didn't notice that Simon was already standing behind them.

"Father."

"Uncle Huang".

Moments later. Ximen Yichen and Ximen Yiqicai discovered Ximen Zhe at the same time. Stand up.

"Uncle Huang." Simon also stood up unhurriedly. He smiled sweetly at Ximenzhe. She always uses such a smiling face to kill Qiao Dazhu in seconds. Push him to do something he doesn't want to do. For example, after the palace master finished his lecture. Take them out of the palace to play. It shattered his plan to learn martial arts from his brothers.

This time. The three of them came to the West Palace. Because Simon Zhe's search for people also made them curious. And I'm looking for a beautiful woman.

Although Ximen Yiqi and Ximen Yimeng did not have the opportunity to see the portrait that was well placed by Ximen Zhe with their own eyes. But. Ximen Yichen relied on the impression that he had seen it once. I made a complete copy of the painting. Although it can't be said exactly the same. But it's not much different.

Ximen Yichen's painting skills were especially praised by Taifu.

"Not as an example." Simon Zhe swept three pairs of small flickering eyes. Spit out four words lightly.

"Yes. Uncle Huang." Simon Yimeng and Simon Yiqi said in unison. Then he flew away as if he were flying.

"Father." Ximen Yichen looked at Ximen Zhe and shouted softly.

"Father can pay more attention to Li Xueyun. But you can't take her as a concubine. If you see her. You can explain to her what her father means. If she doesn't want to wait, she'll do it. lest she waste her youth." Ximen Zhedao. He knew that Li Xueyun would always find an opportunity to get close to Ximen Yichen recently. Excellent for Simon Yichen.

"Is my father's heart really on the woman in the painting?" Ximen Yichen asked.
