Chapter 034: Night Break
Di Bai stared at Xie Mian with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, raised his eyebrows, and for some reason his voice became very hoarse and easy to sound.
"What, this son is too handsome and fascinates you?"
With such confident words coming out of his mouth, Xie Mian rolled his eyes a little speechlessly.
Didn't Puxin Nan Mo say that he was the one?
Xie Mian said angrily: "Yes, yes, yes, it fascinated me." ”
As if remembering something, Xie Mian looked at the handsome boy in front of him with doubts, "Why do you want to change your face?" ”
Hearing this, Di Bai rubbed his hands with some ill will and explained, "This son naturally wants to ...... Yi became a wounded beggar, and you saved me and brought me home. ”
“?” Xie Mian understands now, the old man in front of him is playing with a bang!
But...... Promising him that he could, Xie Mianyuan's round eyes rolled and he came up with a bad idea.
The person in front of him was white-skinned and snowy, and his eyes outside the veil were extraordinarily bright, as if with a streamer, only to see the veil gently removed with his plain hands, and in an instant, although it was not a country and a city, but a seductive face was revealed, Di Bai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The girl's voice was very weak, and her vermilion lips spurted, "Gong, Gongzi, I'm just a weak woman......!" Although I have cooking skills, I can't play it, and if my son follows me back to the house, he will definitely give it to me...... Bring the trouble! ”
Di Bai was so concerned that he couldn't eat the pastries made by Xie Mian, and he didn't think about it that much at all. What Xie Mian said now made him wake up from a dream.
However, the girl named Xie Mian in front of him is really the best in the world and has an excellent temperament, he ...... I was really blown away!
Out of a man's instinctive reaction to seeing a beautiful woman, Di Bai quickly felt pity in his heart, he looked at Xie Mian, and comforted: "Then, that son, I won't go back to the house with you, but you can tell me when the next time you come out, and this son can be wronged and squatting!" ”
Xie Mian took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and gently wiped his eyes, and a whimper came out of his throat, "If I don't leave the house next time, won't you be able to squat?" I, I can't see anything like this happening! ”
"Then, this ......" Di Bai's expression suddenly became complicated, "Miss Xie, then you can tell your method!" ”
Xie Mian was waiting for him!
A pair of eyes crossed a touch of cunning, she lowered her head, trying to hold back a smile, making herself look still pitiful, "Di Gongzi, then, why don't you tell me about your skills, I can take you back to the house, and let my Miss Fuzhong, who has said hello, kindly give you an official position!" ”
Di Bai looked at Xie Mian's expression, and didn't find any loopholes in this sentence, he was moved by the sincerity of Miss Xie Mian's idea for his good, and he really said it!
"Miss Xie, I won't tell you, I will have some medical skills in the future, if the young lady you serve has some typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, I may be able to give it a try."
The implication is that he knows medical skills and can enter the house as a special doctor.
This answer made Xie Mian very satisfied, but she still had a teary look on her face, "Then, thank you Di Gongzi!" ”
"What you said is a torment for the old man, although the old man has changed his appearance, but you are a Di Gongzi, but it really makes the old man have a little illusion of returning to his youth."
Xie Mian was stunned and said, "Then I won't call my grandfather!" ”
It seemed that seeing Xie Mian crying again, Di Bai was a little anxious, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You can shout whatever you want, the old man doesn't care!" ”
"Okay, Di Gongzi, you can go back to the house with me now, but ......" Xie Mian showed a look of horror, "Then when you get to the mansion, how can Gongzi take off his mask so that no one will find out?" ”
Di Bai didn't think about this problem, he said happily: "When the time comes, the old man will lie that he is the old man sweeping the floor in your house, such an inconspicuous person, presumably no one will care whether it is true or not." ”
Xie Mian thought about it and felt that this idea seemed good, and agreed: "Di Gongzi, this is a wonderful word!" ”
"However, the old man is a little curious, if you take me back to the house, will your young lady definitely agree?"
Although Xie Mian never told herself her identity, Di Bai could probably guess from the words she said that she might just be a poor maid with a poor background who could only make money by coming up with new ideas.
When Xie Mian heard this, she couldn't hold back her laughter, but she forcibly endured it, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "I grew up with my young lady since I was a child, and I have a deep relationship, she will be happy to see me bring a helper back for the house." ”
"I see." Di Bai looked suddenly enlightened.
"Then the old man will follow the girl back to the house!"
Thinking of the taste of the pastry, Di Bai said that he couldn't wait.
Xie Mian nodded, followed Di Bai to pack up his things, and then returned the same way, taking his things and taking a carriage back to the house.
The sky was getting darker, and a few remnant clouds hung in a corner of the sky, replaced by an inky night.
The winter days are cold, but the sun shines brightly throughout Kyoto. But once the night came, the cold wind howled again, and the cold people shivered.
The most luxurious place in Kyoto is the Imperial Palace. Because of the tradition of the Great Chu Kingdom, the imperial palace in winter is generally the most lively.
The Praetorian Guards guarding the palace said that it was really lively.
Among the red walls and green tiles, there was a flickering light of beaded curtains and jade, and the concubine Xiao Jingyi shrank in the corner of the bed in a thin bedclothes, and her charming Danfeng eyes left strings of beaded tears, wetting her white cheeks.
The man in front of him was wearing a gluttonous mask, dressed in black, and holding a sharp sword that reflected the night light in his hand.
The man's voice was faint and very good, but when this voice fell into Xiao Jingyi's ears, it was as terrifying as the king of hell.
She trembled, trembled, and raised her onion-like jade fingers, pointing at the man in black in front of her, her voice choked, "You, who are you!" Don't you know that what you are going to assassinate tonight is Xiao Jingyi, the favorite concubine of the emperor of the dynasty and the concubine of Xiao Yuanjun, the secretary of the military department?! ”
The man's bare skin was very white, the paper-covered window had already been pierced by a sharp sword, and the howling cold wind crept in like a poisonous snake, invading the human body.
The three thousand ink hairs were raised high, and with the illumination of the moonlight, Xiao Jingyi was a little curious, what kind of appearance did the person who was going to kill her look like in front of her!
When the man heard Xiao Jingyi's words, a voice like a mockery came out of his throat, and his ink-black pupils stared at the woman in front of him, and in an instant, his figure flashed, and the figure actually appeared in front of Xiao Jingyi.
The two of them are almost next to each other!
Xiao Jingyi's pupils were so frightened that her pupils constricted, and her body couldn't stop retreating.
All she could feel was the chill of the cold walls......
Despair hit her like a tide, she was just a weak woman, how could she be an assassin?
It's just that she couldn't figure out who this assassin was and why he wanted to kill her.
Just when she closed her eyes and felt that she was dead, she didn't expect that the man would just stretch out a pair of slender hands and slowly caress her cheeks.
Xiao Jingyi opened her eyes violently!
The man's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be playfulness in them, could it be that Meng Lang's movements were like this......
Once the idea pops up, it's out of control. Xiao Jingyi hugged herself tightly and gritted her teeth, if it was really what she thought, she would rather die.
Who knows, the man just spoke slowly and took his hand back, "There is no fat powder?" ”
What?! This assassin, didn't he want to kill her?
As if she saw hope, Xiao Jingyi hurriedly took out her usual fat powder cartridge and handed it over.
Sure enough, the man just glanced at himself suspiciously, and then reached out to take it.
"I just want rouge on your face."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi hurriedly snatched the rouge box in the man's hand, took out a little from it, and wiped it on his face.
"Well, that's all right!"
The man in front of him just shook his head, "Take your handkerchief." ”
After Xiao Jingyi knew that the assassin was not trying to kill her, her heart was much calmer, and she quickly took out her handkerchief from her sleeve, twisted some fat powder from her face, and handed it over.
Seeing that he took it, Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had already sent her personal maid away and informed the emperor.
The emperor favors her the most, and the Praetorian Guards should have come to support her from the gate of the palace.
However, the man did not seem to be afraid, and a pair of slender hands put away the rouge box and handkerchief, and then flashed out of the window.
Xiao Jingyi hurriedly ran over to check, but found that the black figure was gone.
"Is it ......?"
Just as Xiao Jingyi was guessing, the mahogany door was pushed open heavily.
Emperor Shanshan, dressed in a bright yellow bedclothes, came, followed by several guards.
After seeing that Xiao Jingyi was fine, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
His tone was reassuring, "Aifei, I've frightened you." ”
Xiao Jingyi complained a little about the emperor in her heart, after all, if he had come earlier, the assassin who had slighted her just now would not have escaped so easily.
However, the warmth of the man's face just now seemed to remain in place.
Thinking that she was still nostalgic for that warmth, Xiao Jingyi's face turned red.
The emperor didn't notice Xiao Jingyi's abnormality, he said angrily to the guards beside him: "You guys, go and check on me, I want to see what kind of thief is so bold that he dares to attack the harem at night!" ”
If this man is caught by him...... The emperor is holding Xiao Jingyi's trembling body, he will definitely be punished heavily!
The Praetorian Guards had only arrived at the harem at this time, and when they saw a secret guard coming to spread the word, they immediately stopped.
Seeing that the emperor sent an edict to them to go back, they were at a loss, but the emperor personally passed on how they would not obey, and immediately turned around and left.
The emperor also thought a lot, after all, if the Praetorian Guards knew about this, then in just a few days, everyone in the whole world would know that the secret guards in the palace couldn't even stop a few assassins!
