Outside the window, the sun is still warm, the spring is bright, the tender green grass and the freshly sprouted willow sway in the wind, the lake is rippling with blue waves, and the spring scenery is beautiful, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

The little girl in the green shirt standing in the room only felt a gust of wind coming out from behind him, and his back was cold; his eyes were tightly fixed on the oily paper bag, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty; not to mention that Xue Xi was still pregnant, even if he was not afraid and could not bear the power of this medicine. What's more, who will solve the problem when the time comes to drug Xue Xi? His heart suddenly only hung in his throat, and he raised his head cautiously and glanced at Qin Rui quickly, and then lowered his head quickly.

"Don't mess around!" Qin Rui heard this, and immediately snorted lightly, his face was calm, "Xue Xi's child in his belly must not have an accident!"

As soon as the words fell, Wuhuan immediately became annoyed, and looked at Qin Rui with a mocking face, "Yes, the child in her belly can't be fine, and our family is worried that they deserve to be calculated, right?" Saying that, he didn't even give Qin Rui time to react, but he only heard a crisp sound of the door "banging", "If the prince has something, he should tell others!"

"Lord Wang. The little guy in the green shirt pursed his thin lips, raised his head a little crampedly, glanced at Qin Rui quickly, and then lowered his head again, his thin lips pursed.

Qin Rui's face was indeed very ugly, but he didn't say anything in the end, he just stopped weakly, "Okay, you can retreat first." "Xue Xi and Xue Hai, these two people dare to calculate their little girl, he will definitely not just forget this matter. However, because of Concubine An, he couldn't do anything on Xue Xi, but he didn't have any worries about Xue Hai, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he beckoned to the little guy, and then leaned over and lowered his voice to say something in his ear, and the little guy in the green shirt nodded solemnly.

When Yang Fan pushed the door and entered, he saw the posture between the two, and his body instantly stiffened. Qin Rui waved his hand at the green-shirted guy as if nothing had happened, and the green-shirted guy nodded, turned around and blessed Yang Fan before turning around and leaving.

"Master. Yang Fan lowered his head, as if he hadn't seen anything, and the expression on his face remained the same as always.

"Huh?" Qin Rui raised his eyes lightly, looked at Yang Fan with a smile, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea gently, even though the tea was already warm, and even a little cool, but he looked at Yang Fan as if he was unconscious, "Did you find out that Xue Hai's movements?"

Yang Fan nodded solemnly, his expression was serious, and his voice was low but very clear, "Hmm." In addition to asking Zhang He to go to Huajie to buy a secret medicine, he also went to the Shi'an Courtyard, but I heard that Xiao Qiyao didn't see him. Our people followed Xue Hai, and when he came out of the Shi'an Courtyard, he seemed very depressed. ”

"Oh?" Qin Rui slanted the corners of his mouth, with a cold smile on his face, he took a slow sip of tea again before putting the teacup on the table, raised his head to look at Yang Fan, the tail note was slightly raised, it seemed to reveal a little doubt and seemed to be interested.

"......" Seeing this, Yang Fan suddenly shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything." Since the death of the Empress Dowager Xiao in Danqing Mountain, the Xiao family has been silent a lot, this Xiao Qiyao Taoguang has been obscure for many years, and now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, he naturally will not want to be an enemy of the Gu family at this time. ”

Qin Rui listened, the smile on his face was faint, his eyebrows were dyed with a bit of impenetrable brilliance, his body leaned lazily on the chair, his elbows supported the armrests of the chair, and his chin was supported with one hand, just looking at Yang Fan with a smile, "Huh?" The expression that did not change in the slightest, and he didn't even raise his eyelids, he had long expected that there would be a follow-up, so he just listened quietly.

"Master, do you still remember the summer solstice seven years ago, when Xue Xi came back for the first time after going to Yunzhen Mountain, he once said that he seemed to have saved a seriously injured young man on the way? However, the news was quickly suppressed at the time. "Even so, presumably my grandfather shouldn't have forgotten such an important matter, after all, there was a lot of uproar about this matter at the beginning, and there are many people in Liangdu City who know about it. Although the Xiao family later spent a lot of effort to suppress the matter, the housewife of the Xiao family was killed in that disaster, and the seventh young master of the Xiao family also became more and more eccentric because of that incident, and I am afraid that many people will not be able to forget it.

Yang Fan said, his voice became deeper and lower, and his eyes became more and more weird, which seemed to be full of interest. Feeling his master's eyes that seemed to be a little cold, he suddenly turned pale, put one hand into a fist between his lips and coughed lightly twice, "Presumably you have already guessed, it is true that the person Xue Xi saved at the beginning was Xiao Qiyao, and when he was rescued, he promised to help Xue Xi do something." ”

Qin Rui lowered his head, with a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth hooked, and looked at Yang Fan, "You mean that Xiao Qiyao has already agreed?"

"Not necessarily. The smile on Yang Fan's face was faint, and he picked up the teacup next to him and poured a big sip of tea before he continued, "Xiao Qiyao's personality and personality also know. Now Gu Huai's identity is no secret in the upper echelons of Liangdu, and Xiao Qiyao will definitely not believe Xue Hai's words. "After all, Gu Jinxi is the treasure of the Gu family, and wanting to move her is equivalent to being an enemy of the Gu family and Xia Liang, and it is even very likely to offend the regent and emperor of the dynasty, which is a typical thankless thing.

Qin Rui's thin lips pursed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"However, the people below have sent news that Xiao Qiyao has promised that when he is ugly tonight, he will personally come to talk to Xue Xi. Looking at his grandfather's appearance, Yang Fan only felt bored, and opened his mouth to only tell the news he knew. Even though he now saw that the entire Regent Mansion was under Xue Hai's control, and even the brother and sister seemed to be the male and female masters of the Regent Palace, since Qin Rui dared to delegate power, how could he not have any arrangements at all.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Qin Rui's ancient face finally changed a little.

Yang Fan just bowed his head respectfully, and said to Qin Rui solemnly, "Master, what do you see about this matter?" For Xue Hai and Xue Xi, he was already disgusted to the core, just because Qin Rui repeatedly ordered that he must keep the child in Xue Xi's belly, otherwise she would have been unable to bear it a long time ago, but now that this matter has involved Miss Gu, his own father should be careful to deal with it.

"What's going on over there in Rong En Pavilion?" Qin Rui replied as if he was not asking, and the topic changed sharply.

"......" Yang Fan's complexion changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension, "It's still the same as before, and there is no change."

Qin Rui played with the tassel of the jade pendant on his waist with one hand, put one hand on the armrest of the seat, his fingers tapped rhythmically, the smile on his face was shallow, staring at Yang Fan, "I heard that the concubine's body has never been very good, and she just came back from Yunzhen Mountain, are you sure there is no problem?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan seemed to suddenly realize, "Ye Yingming, I really can't hide anything from you." In the past two days, the health of the concubine has not been very good, and I asked the doctor to come and check it before, you see this ......"

"Oh, the concubine's body is getting worse and worse?" Qin Rui lowered his head, the smile on his face faint.

"Yes. Master, do you want the doctor to take a look?" Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in my grandfather's medicine gourd, but since my grandfather has said so, he can only follow his grandfather's words.

It's just that Qin Rui didn't seem to hear Yang Fan's words at all, the smile on his face was still faint, the smile was shallow, revealing a certain weird taste, "You also said just now that the concubine's body has always been good, how could she suddenly become so weak, could it be that something happened?"

"Nothing has happened to this Rong En Pavilion recently?" Yang Fan was very puzzled, since the last time Dan Qingshan happened, he found that he was becoming more and more unable to see through what his master was thinking, as if now, obviously just now he was still talking about Xue Xi and Xiao Qiyao preparing to frame Miss Gu, how could he talk about Rong En Pavilion and the concubine Niangniang.

"Nothing really happened?" Qin Rui's mouth hooked obliquely, and his tail note raised slightly, looking at Yang Fan with a smile that seemed to be not a smile.

"This ......" Yang Fan lowered his head, his eyes turned quickly, and he kept thinking about what happened in Rong Enge recently, if you really want to say that, "Master, are you talking about the last time the girl stole the jewelry of the concubine and sold it?" Of course, Zhiwei didn't commit suicide because of stealing, let alone for fear of crime, this reason was just for people outside.

"Uh-huh!" the corners of Qin Rui's mouth hooked slightly.

"The subordinates are ignorant. Yang Fan lowered his head, can this Zhiwei commit suicide in fear of crime still have something to do with Miss Gu and Xue Xi?

Qin Rui glared at Yang Fan angrily, with a faint smile on his face, "Then Xue Xi is the personal maid of the concubine Niangniang, and is in charge of the concubine's belongings." This Zhiwei stole the concubine's cleaning and selling and was caught and committed suicide in fear of crime, who knows the truth of the matter? Zhihe and Zhiwei are sisters, but those things related to the concubine are also in charge of Xue Xi, you said that if this Zhiwei committed suicide in fear of crime was not because of stealing the concubine's things, but because he was wronged, you said ....... Qin Rui's face was serious, and he didn't seem to have changed at all, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a faint smile, staring at Yang Fan, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Do you know what to do?"

As soon as the words fell, a touch of clarity immediately appeared on Yang Fan's face, with a faint smile on his face, he immediately leaned over and replied respectfully, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

"It's good if you really get it. The corners of Qin Rui's mouth were slightly hooked, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Remember to be like a thoughtful way, you can't alarm Xue Hai and Xue Xi in advance, and you can't hurt the child in Xue Xi's belly, understand?"

"......" Yang Fan was suddenly a little speechless, such a difficult action. My grandfather is really not joking? This is too, too embarrassing. However, he couldn't refute his master's orders, so he could only say stupidly, "Yes, my subordinates understand!"

When Qin Rui heard this, he seemed to be relieved, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "What about Wuyuan, how is Xi'er's body?"

Speaking of Gu Jinxi, all the coldness on Qin Rui's face was hidden, his eyes were glowing with a faint soft color, and his smile was shallow but from the heart; However, last time the eldest princess Qin Ning went to Wuyuan, she seemed to have a little unpleasant trouble with Miss Gu. ”

Qin Rui's face did not change at all when he heard this, "Qin Ning is a smart person, she knows what to do, she has been happy with Xie Yi for a long time, I am afraid that there is still a knot in the heart of the matter in Danqing Mountain last time, don't worry about her, let the people below them strengthen the search, Xi'er's body is already weak." Now it is even worse, thinking of this, his face suddenly became serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Okay, arrange it immediately, remember that there can't be any mistakes in this matter!" When the words landed, Qin Rui still seemed a little uneasy, and thought about it, "Forget it, I will personally arrange this matter." ”

"Yes. "For Qin Rui's words, Yang Fan took them as if they were holy decrees.

The words were divided into two ends, but Xue Xi, after hearing Mei Hong's reply, the whole person was stunned, his face was slightly pale, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his hands were tightly grasping the bedding, as if he was a little distracted;

"Yes, the Zhihe girl of Rong En Pavilion told the slave maid. Mei Hong lowered her head, her face was respectful, and her voice was flat without the slightest tone.

"Impossible. Xue Xi's thin lips were pursed, and his eyes were full of doubt. Zhiwei and Zhihe were both slaves and maids that Concubine An collected on Yunzhen Mountain and had followed her for many years. What's more, Concubine An has always been generous, and Zhiwei has also praised a lot of net worth over the years, how could she be arrested for theft because she coveted Concubine An's things.

"Miss Zhihe said that the concubine did not blame Miss Zhiwei, but Miss Zhiwei couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart, and when there was no one in the room, she hung the beam, and when she was found by the next person, she was already helpless. Mei Hong lowered her head, the expression on her face was very serious and it didn't look like she was lying, but Xue Xi still refused to believe in her heart, what kind of character Zhiwei was, she knew better than anyone else after working together for many years. Two days ago, she was holding her own handle to recommend her to the prince, how could she make such a mistake, no, there must be something in this that she doesn't know.

Thinking like this, the expression on Xue Xi's face lacked coldness, since the last time he went to Luwuyuan, he had been under house arrest in this room for several months, and he really didn't know anything about the outside world, "When was that?

"Back to Aunt Xue, this matter has been going on for some time. Mei Hong lowered her head and her voice was still respectful, not in a hurry, nor in the slightest impatience.

"How many days are there?" Xue Xi glared at Mei Hong angrily, "I want a specific time, specific, when is it? I can't understand people, do you, or do you also think Aunt Ben is a bully?"

When Mei Hong heard this, she immediately lowered her head, her face was serious, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Hmph, Aunt Ben found out that you were very daring. "For Mei Hong and Mei Xiang, no matter how she buys them, there is no way to make the two of them face herself, the prince who opens his mouth and closes his mouth, hmph, Brother Rui is also something that they can covet as a lowly slave. Looking up at Mei Hong's bumpy figure and bewitching figure, Xue Xi's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and there was a vague essence in his eyes, "Don't say it soon!"

Mei Hong's body trembled slightly, her thin lips pursed slightly, and she snorted, "Back to Aunt Xue, Miss Zhiwei is the third day after you found out that you were pregnant." She didn't lie, it's just that when Zhiwei's body was found, there were obvious scratches on her neck, but in the end, Zhiwei was just a maid, no one would deliberately waste time and effort for her, and even the corpse was just thrown into a mass grave outside the city.

"What?" Xue Xi suddenly felt that his heart was hanging in his throat, his throat was dry, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his face seemed to be a little incredulous, "That means that on the third day after our Regent Mansion began to hold a banquet?"

"Yes!" Mei Hong replied respectfully.

"......" Xue Xi suddenly felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Even though Mei Hong kept saying that Zhiwei committed suicide because she was caught stealing the jewelry of the concubine, she knew that this must not be the case. Could it be Brother Rui, she knows that she has bought Zhiwei to embarrass Gu Jinxi?

No, that's not right.

If Brother Rui really knew, if Brother Rui still cared so much about Gu Jinxi, how could he let himself have a child, and how could he be so nervous about the child in his belly?

Was it really just an accident?

Xue Xi couldn't figure it out, but she didn't speak, and Mei Hong just stood beside her respectfully, until Mei Xiang came into the house with a tray of medicine in her hand, Xue Hai also came in from outside the door with an earthy gray face, and just happened to meet Mei Xiang. Seeing the delicate porcelain bowl on the tray in her hand, she immediately took the tray with one hand and said to the two people, "You guys go down first." ”

"Steward Xue, this is the fetal medicine that Dr. Huan personally prescribed to Aunt Xue, but the prince has carefully instructed it, be sure to watch Aunt Xue drink it with your own eyes. Mei Xiang suddenly raised her head nervously, looked at Xue Hai, her thin lips pursed slightly, and she almost squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.

When Xue Hai heard this, his eyes sank, "Okay, I know." When this medicine is a little cooler, I will watch her drink it myself. ”

"Let you step down, where is there so much nonsense?" Xue Xi was angry and anxious in his heart, his heart hung tightly in his throat, and when he saw Xue Hai's gray face, he was even more irritable in his heart, and he opened his mouth to let out a loud shout.

Mei Hong and Mei Xiang suddenly trembled, and quickly lowered their heads and said with a pale face, "Auntie is angry, and the slaves and maids will retire." ”

Xue Hai held the tray and looked at the dark medicinal juice in the porcelain bowl with a strong medicinal fragrance, his eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking of Wu Huan's attitude, and a little worried, "Sister, your body is ......" Wu Huan also disliked Xue Xi, such an obviously bad attitude, as long as people with eyes can feel it, is there really no problem with the medicine he prescribes?

"I am pregnant with Brother Rui's only child, and even Brother Rui has repeatedly ordered him to keep the child in my belly, do you think he dares to do anything in this medicine?" Xue Xi was not worried, after all, Qin Rui's attitude was there, she didn't believe that this Wuhuan dared to openly disobey Brother Rui's orders. It's just that having said that, looking at the pitch-black medicinal juice in the medicine bowl, Xue Xi still couldn't help frowning, holding the already warm medicine bowl in both hands, taking a sip, only to feel that the bitter taste spread to the root of his tongue.

"That's just as well. "After all, Qin Rui's character is the same, and he knows a little bit about Wuhuan's virtue. Although his temperament is a little weird, he still listens to the words of the prince very much; seeing Xue Xi's actions, although Xue Hai is distressed, he can't, who let Xue Xi not take care of his own body, and said angrily, "You know that the medicine is bitter? ”

When Xue Xi heard this, he immediately stuck out his tongue slightly, "People know, isn't that worrying." ”

"Silly girl. Xue Hai raised his hand and gently rubbed Xue Xi's hair, watching her take small sips of the medicinal juice, frowning, such a bitter light just smelled it and felt so bitter that it was hard to swallow, and it was difficult for her sister. Look, looking around, I wanted to get a few candied fruits for Xue Xi, but I found that there was not even a little candied fruit in the whole room except for fruits and pastries;

Xue Xi swallowed the medicinal juice with a muddy and smelly smell with great difficulty, endured nausea and retching, took a deep breath, and said for a long time, "Doctor Huan said that candied fruit will weaken the medicinal effect, so ......" finally recovered a little, she raised her head to look at Xue Hai, who was a little ugly, with a little doubt in her eyes, "Brother, I don't look good at your face, is it Brother Rui who ......?"

"No, don't think about it. Xue Hai took the medicine bowl in Xue Xi's hand and put it on the small table next to him, turned his head and looked outside the door again, and found that Mei Hong and Mei Xiang had closed the door when they left, and their faces were a little better, but thinking of what happened to him in Shi'an Courtyard today, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom again, he grabbed Xue Xi's hand, with doubts in his eyes, "Sister, do you have an old relationship with Xiao Qiye?"

"Well, brother, do you remember the first time I came back from Yunzhen Mountain, didn't I tell you that I once met a seriously injured young man on the way back? Xue Xi lowered his head, pursed his thin lips lightly, his eyes were pale, and he talked about the things of the year lightly, but he didn't say the most important thing, but Xue Hai didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but showed a sudden realization on his face, and his tone was a little emotional, "So that's the case." ”

Until now, the stone that had been hanging in his heart was finally put down, and the hand holding Xue Xi unconsciously increased his strength, and the earthy gray on his face also dissipated, but with a faint smile. He was worried that Xue Hai asked to see his sister if he had any bad thoughts in his heart, but now it seems that it shouldn't be, as long as Xiao Qiyao doesn't have any bad thoughts about his sister.

However, looking at Xue Hai's appearance, Xue Xi was a little puzzled. Although Xue Hai was already faintly uncomfortable holding his hand, she did not break free, but her face was a little shy and petty, her voice was soft, well-behaved and supple, "What, brother, is there any problem?"

"Nope. Xue Hai shook his head gently, the smile on his face was faint, and he looked down at Xue Xi's gorgeous but pale face, "Do you remember what we said before?"

When Xue Xi heard this, he immediately lowered his head and was silent, without saying a word, no matter what she said about this matter, Xue Hai would feel that she was scheming, she was very smart, she knew when to say something, and she knew how to calculate people's hearts, especially the heart of the man in front of her.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Xue Hai was a little silent, his thin lips pursed slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he still opened his mouth to say the words, he lowered his head, "Xiao Qiye has always been cautious, I went to look for him today, and he said that he wanted to meet you." ”

"See me?" Xue Xi suddenly had some doubts, and his heart suddenly hung in his throat. Even if she has left Liangdu City for many years, she has still heard of Xiao Qiye's name. Because of my disability, I can't do it myself, but I have a special hobby that makes people feel unspeakable. For so many years, how many young men and girls have been toyed with and disabled by him in Liangdu City, I am afraid that even Xiao Qiyao himself does not understand. Why does he want to see himself, does he ...... to himself Thinking of this, Xue Xi had a little worry on his face, and he was a little happy because of his charm, but of course, he was more worried about not answering.

As if sensing Xue Xi's worry, the smile on Xue Hai's face was faint, and he gently hugged Xue Xi, and said in a calmest tone as much as possible, "Although you saved him back then, it's been a long time, and you have been away from Liangdu for so many years, Xiao Qiye may just want to confirm with you." You don't have to worry, after all, in the Regent's Mansion, he doesn't dare to mess around. ”

"Hmm. Xue Xi nodded, indeed, no matter how heavy Xiao Qiyao's lust is, I am afraid that he will not dare to openly move the woman who is the regent of the dynasty; not to mention that now that he is pregnant, then Xiao Qiyao will never have sexual interest in a pregnant woman, right? Thinking like this, Xue Xi's heart finally let go a little, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and his voice was soft, revealing a little petty, "Then brother, what do you say?"

Xue Hai hugged Xue Xi, feeling the soft delicate body in his arms, closing his eyes with a comfortable face, but Xue Xi couldn't see the intense * at the bottom of his eyes. He was constantly hypnotizing himself, to Xue Xi, it was only brother and sister love, and only brother and sister love; hearing Xue Xi's voice, he forcibly suppressed the idea of wanting to ravage the little man in his arms, and took a deep breath, "I can't help but have a lot of dreams at night, I arranged things when I was ugly, and I will give you wind when the time comes, you must remember to make a long story short." ”

"Well, I know. Xue Xi leaned on Xue Hai's arms, and a touch of essence flashed quickly under his eyes.

Xiao Qiyao's fetish, no one knows about the entire Liangdu City, once Gu Jinxi is broken by him, he will marry into the Xiao family at that time. Not to mention the grievances between the Xiao family and the Gu family now, Xiao Qiyao alone is enough for her to drink a pot, hum! Dare to rob herself of a man, she Gu Jinxi is still a little tender.

The brother and sister who want to hug each other have their own thoughts.

The sky gradually darkened, and as soon as the hour passed, the entire Regent's palace fell into a deep silence. Even the street lamps in the courtyard were extinguished a lot, leaving only the candlelight flickering in the breeze, emitting a faint light.

Xue Xi had already sent Mei Hong and Mei Xiang away after dinner, and now the candlelight in the room was faint, waiting quietly in the room.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly the door opened gently, and a cool breeze came from outside, Xue Xi, who was supposed to be wearing a nightgown, but was sleeping peacefully at the moment, was dressed in a brocade robe, sitting on the soft couch dignifiedly, and immediately raised his head when he heard the movement. I saw a sturdy man dressed in a black robe, with a slight smile on his face, walking towards the soft couch accompanied by his brother.

"Presumably this is Xiao Qiye, long up, please. Xue Xi had a full smile on her face, one hand behind her waist, and her face still showed a bit of love unique to a mother.

Seeing this, Xue Hai's heart suddenly hung in his throat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Xue Xi, lowering his voice, "Sister, be careful; Don't forget, Dr. Huan let you have a good rest, this tire gas is not a joke. ”

Xiao Qiyao just looked at the two brothers and sisters quietly, if he didn't clearly know that the child in Xue Xi's belly was Qin Rui's, if he didn't clearly know that Xue Xi and Xue Hai were brother and sister, I'm afraid he would think that the child in Xue Xi's belly was Xue Hai's. This brother deserves it, but he is too conscientious.

As if sensing the doubts in Xiao Qiyao's heart, Xue Hai's body suddenly stiffened, raised his head and explained to him with some curtle, "My sister ate the wrong thing before and had a fetal gas, so she needs to be extra careful in the past two days, but let Xiao Qiye see the joke." ”

"Probably not. The smile on Xiao Qiyao's face was a little deep, and it was a little incomprehensible, and he didn't need to be invited to sit directly opposite Xue Xi, as if he was the master here, and his movements were abrupt but not disgusting, "It's just that Steward Xue and Aunt Xue's brother and sister are really good, but they are really enviable." Having said that, just the expression on his face, the tone of his voice was full of ridicule and deep meaning.

When Xue Hai heard this, his body stiffened suddenly, and then he could only help Xue Xi to sit down on the soft couch as if he hadn't heard it, and lowered his head, "Xi'er is simple and not good at talking, if there is anything offensive between the words, please bear with Xiao Qiye." This is not the place to speak, but to make a long story short, I'm just waiting outside, and if there's anything you need, call me at any time. ”

"Well said. Xiao Qiyao nodded.

"Then there's Brother Lao. Xue Xi also nodded at Xue Hai, her thin lips pursed.

It wasn't until the sound of the door being closed came again that Xue Xi took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the man opposite. For the first time, this was the first time she looked at the man seriously, although his appearance was not stunningly beautiful, but he was also a rare handsome man in the world, with a strong body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile that seemed to be a smile at the corner of his mouth, just looking at herself quietly, her cheeks were suddenly flushed, she lowered her head, and her voice was a little delicate and charming, "I heard that Xiao Qiye wants to see me, I don't know, what's the matter?"

"I haven't had time to thank Aunt Xue for saving her life. The smile on Xiao Qiyao's face was shallow, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing a bit of an incomprehensible taste; in fact, when he was rescued by Xue Xi, he didn't have any consciousness, and he only had a vague feeling that he was rescued, and he could vaguely see that it was a young girl; not to mention, after that incident, Xue Xi left Liangdu and went to Yunzhen Mountain, and never came back, where did Xiao Qiyao remember so much. After all, this matter is very risky, and he is not willing to risk it for the sake of an uncertain person.

"Xiao Qiye is so angry. Xue Xi lowered his head, his voice was still his usual softness, "It was just a gesture at the beginning, but it made Xiao Qiye remember it for so many years, Xi'er is really, really ......"

Looking at Xue Xi's pretentious appearance, I don't know why Xiao Qiyao actually felt a little disgusting, a touch of contempt and disdain quickly crossed his eyes, and the smile on his face was faint, "No matter what, it is a fact that Aunt Xue saved Xiao's life." Now that he has the opportunity to repay this kindness, Xiao naturally ...... It is incumbent on him!" Not for anything else, he and Gu Jinxi still have an account that they haven't had time to settle clearly.

"In this way, thank you Xiao Qiye. When Xue Xi heard this, a touch of joy suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Well, I remember that Aunt Xue once took a piece of jade Jue from my hand as a token, and now that this love has been returned, should Aunt Xue be ......" Xiao Qiyao didn't say the latter words, and Xue Xi naturally understood. The jade jue that she took from Xiao Qiyao's body at the beginning was warm and moist, and she only looked at it as an excellent jade, but she was still a little incompetent in accepting Xiao Qiyao's almost begging behavior. Because of Empress Dowager Xiao, the Xiao family has been so popular over the years, do you even have to take back a piece of jade?

It seemed to see through the thoughts in Xue Xi's heart, Xiao Qiyao lowered his head lightly with a smile on his face, took the jade jue from Xue Xi's hand, and hung it on his waist very naturally, and then explained, "This jade jue is a relic left by the deceased mother back then, and it has a very special meaning for me, so ......"

"......" Xue Xi heard this, and suddenly felt that his heart was hanging in his throat, and he looked up at Xiao Qiyao with a little guilt on his face, "I'm sorry Xiao Qiye, I, I'm ...... At that time, he was young and ignorant, and he hoped that Xiao Qiye would not be as knowledgeable as Xi'er. ”

The smile on Xiao Qiyao's face was faint, since his goal had been achieved, then he was ready to leave, thinking about getting up, he arched his hand towards Xue Xi, "Steward Xue said that as long as you arrange it, Xiao will naturally cooperate, and when the time comes, Aunt Xue will only let people inform Xiao that there is still ......."

It's just that before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, "Oh no, it's water, it's water!" Auntie, Aunt Xue, wake up, go water, go water!"

"This ......" Before Xue Xi could even react, the room was already full of smoke, she quickly raised her hand to cover her lips, and saw that the white smoke in the room was getting more and more, getting thicker and thicker;

Outside the house, Xue Hai's worried voice came, and he wanted to rush in, but the little maids and maids standing on both sides were blocking him, "Steward Xue, this fire is too big, you can't take the risk, let the minions go to put out the fire." ”

The sound of firefighting, the sound of splashing water, but in a short moment, the white smoke in the house became thicker and thicker.

Xiao Qiyao only felt that it was difficult for him to even open his eyes, and he just wanted to leave when he raised his feet, but who knew that he was grabbed by Xue Xi's sleeve, "Xiao Qiye save me, please, take me out!"

The courtyard that was originally dim by candlelight was now lit by torches and candlelight as if it was daylight, if he left, he was still a little sure that he would leave directly when the smoke was filled; but if he took Xue Xi with him, he was afraid that he would be exposed in front of people, and some things would be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River. This Xue Xi is Qin Rui's woman, if she goes out like this, she will ...... Even if he agreed to Xue Xi to do something to Gu Jinxi now, it was all behind his back, and he didn't want to or want to go head-to-head with Qin Rui now. Thinking of this, he suddenly brushed away Xue Xi's hand with some impatience, "This fire is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao is still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, Aunt Xue should also fend for herself." ”

When the words fell, she wanted to leave directly, and she didn't know if it was because the fire stimulated Xue Xi's survival instinct, she grabbed Xiao Qiyao's sleeves tightly with both hands, and the whole person was like an octopus pulling on him, "Xiao Qiye saves people's lives and makes a seventh-level floating slaughter, please take me out." ”

"Aunt Xue, ...... you" Looking at the thickening white smoke in the room, Xiao Qiyao also remembered a little, faintly, he could already hear Qin Rui's voice outside the door that seemed to be anxious and impatient.

"Xiao Qiyao, don't forget, you still owe me a life, if I hadn't saved you in the first place, you wouldn't have known where you had gone. Xue Xi was also in a hurry, and suddenly he was a little speechless.

Although Xiao Qiyao has a strange temperament, he is very affectionate and righteous, and when he heard Xue Xi say this, he suddenly became angry. He snorted lightly and picked Xue Xi up horizontally, "Even if Xiao gives you back your life this time, as for other things, Aunt Xue will ask for another master!"
