Chapter 16: Temptation
Xuan Che thought about it, and suddenly felt a little headache. As a celestial machine, he always has some intuition when speculating about things. And often these intuitions are also extremely accurate, this is her extraordinary talent as a heavenly machine, or it can be said, an unpredictable prophet. With her cultivation, she can already eliminate divination and astrological observation, and her prophetic ability is already very good. And now that things have developed to this point, it is very tricky. She only has four days left, and if she doesn't go back after four days, it will be difficult for her soul to return to her place, and it will be a big matter if she lets the Buddha be burdened by her. But Xiu Yuan is alone in this underworld, if he can't help him more, I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with.
She thought for a moment, pinched a sound trick, and flew out of the window. No matter what the Wheel King wants to do now, the top priority is to find the Jizo King first, otherwise she is worried that her precious apprentice will suffer in the underworld. Now that Half Moon should have gone back, it would be most appropriate for him to go to King Jizo.
At the moment, she pretended to be seriously injured, and if she got up and jumped around immediately, it would be suspicious. Why don't you take a day off and think about what to do by the way? Xuan Che closed his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and fell into a deep sleep again. This sleep is still not sound, and it seems that someone is always calling himself in his dreams, but it is not Xuan Che, nor Orchid, but Qingli.
Xuan Che opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes looked directly at a ghost attendant standing in front of his bed. This ghost servant is very young, and his facial features are also very ordinary, and he is standing with his eyes down at the moment, and Xuan Che can't see his eyes. Hyun Cheol was almost certain that there was something strange about the ghost waiter. Not to mention that his appearance is unfamiliar, Hu Ji has never had this face in his memory, just by his clothes, you can also know that he is not so simple. Although his cultivation is not eye-catching, it is not low in this underworld, at least it is no problem to be a ghost servant. And what he was wearing in front of him was clearly the clothes of an ordinary ghost servant, so it can be concluded that he was deliberately disguised.
When he raised his head, Xuan Che suddenly understood in his heart that it was him. The ghost servant standing in front of him was actually the Qing Ming who broke into the underworld with him that day. I think it was Xiu Yuan who didn't worry about her alone, so he specially released him to protect her. Although his cultivation is not enough to deal with any powerful characters, he is also a general ghost servant. Looking at that Qingli's memory, she seems to have a relationship with this senior brother. If he had his protection, he might have saved a lot of effort. It's just that you can't recognize him now, otherwise it wouldn't be a bad thing if he dragged himself away.
Xuan Che saw that there was an irrepressible surprise in his eyes, and he just rushed over to hug her, so he said coldly, "Who are you, what kind of crime should you be guilty of daring to trespass into the dormitory of this palace." ”
The light in Qing Ming's eyes suddenly dimmed, he looked at her, and after a while, he said, "The villain is Li Ming, the new guard of the palace, who was patrolling outside, and when he heard Mrs. Ji shouting, he was worried, so he came in to check." ”
Xuan Che glanced at him lightly, "It turned out to be a new guard, no wonder you don't know the rules so much, my dormitory, can you also come in?" Go down, if there is a next time, I should report to the prince and beat you into the beast road." ”
She saw unbearable sadness in Qing Ming's eyes, he nodded, and said in a low voice, "My subordinates know." He hunched over and slowly withdrew. Xuan Che looked at his lonely back and muttered, "Li Ming, leaving the underworld, it's really not a good name, and I don't know what their master thinks, giving his apprentice this kind of name." ”
Xuan Che looked at the leak in the house, and knew that it was almost dusk at this time, and he couldn't sleep anymore, so he had to get down to business. Anyway, Xiu Yuan took such pains to help him install an assistant over, although this assistant was not very reliable, he actually took advantage of his sleep to hook her soul. He is an immortal, how can he be trained by his small skills as a carving insect.
Xuan Che slowly got up and straightened his clothes. Although the Wheel King is reluctant to come, he can take the initiative to find him. Anyway, her identity is her concubine, and there is nothing wrong with the concubine looking for the master. As soon as Xuan Che straightened his clothes, he heard someone coming in at the door, hurriedly knelt at his feet, and said repeatedly, "The slave was negligent for a while, and I didn't see that Mrs. had woken up, and I paid off Mrs. to atone for her sins." After speaking, he was already trembling with fright. It seems that this orchid, in the eyes of this maid on weekdays, is still very authoritative. Xuan Che thought for a while and shouted, "Cuiping, go and fetch me a basin of water and wait for me to dress up." Seeing that her master didn't care about her own mistakes, the maid named Cuiping hurriedly kowtowed on the ground three times, and then went out quickly.
Sure enough, the maid who is seriously trained is different, and the efficiency is still very high, and after a while, the hot water came over, and then she took a towel to wipe her face, groom, and dress up. This girl moves neatly, her hands and feet are light, Xuan Che closes her eyes, but she also enjoys it very much. I only heard the little maid timidly ask, "Madame's dress today is a little thicker or lighter?" Xuan Che thought about it, he was going to atone for his sins to the Wheel King on behalf of this orchid, and it didn't seem good to wear heavy makeup, so he said lightly, "Light makeup." Cui Ping took the order and immediately fooled her face.
After about half an hour, Cui Ping said softly, "Madam, please open your eyes." ”
Xuan Che slowly opened his eyes, saw the portrait in the bronze mirror, and frowned slightly, where is this light makeup, where is the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth, where is not thick. Cuiping, the maid standing on the side, saw her frowning, and immediately leaned down and knelt down, "Niangniang spares her life, if it is not good, Cuiping will be re-transformed." ”
Xuan Che glanced at Cui Ping on the ground, and said lightly, "It's okay, take a towel and wipe it off." This makeup is not to her liking, and it is a waste of time to paint it again, so it is better not to paint it and pass it like this.
When Cui Ping heard this, she immediately got up from the ground, wiped the makeup on her face neatly, and picked up the rouge gouache on the table, wanting to touch up her makeup again. Xuan Chege opened her hand and said, "That's it, you don't have to draw anymore, so be it." Then he got up and prepared to go, walked a few steps, and then retreated, took off his full head of Zhu Haiyu scratching his head one by one, and only used a simple white jade hairpin to hold a hair, and went out like this. Before going out, he said to Cui Ping, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, "You don't have to kneel here, go down." When Cui Ping heard her words, she raised her head in surprise, and there were crystal tears in her eyes.
Xuan Che ignored him anymore and walked straight to the Wheel King's bedroom. This orchid and the wheel king do not live together, no wonder she is so angry, even the maid is afraid of being like this, presumably when she is alone in the empty room on weekdays, she does not take the maid out of anger.
After a while, he came to the door of the Wheel King's dormitory. Xuan Che secretly took care of his thoughts, took care of his own proportions, then stretched out his hand, knocked on the door, and called softly, "The slave came to see the prince, and asked the prince to open the door." "She considers herself a slave by his side, not a concubine, presumably because she thinks she has a low status.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then the sound of footsteps was remembered. The footsteps gradually moved to the door, and then the door opened. It's just that he opened the door and turned to go in, so there was no sign of him at the door. Xuan Che said in his heart, this wheel king is also very cold to this orchid. Entering the room, Xuan Che saw Yue Luo sitting at the desk at a glance. He was sitting upright at his desk, and he didn't even glance at the orchid who came in, just stared fixedly at Sinan on his desk. Xuan Che was not in a hurry to speak, and only secretly looked at his bedroom. The entire dormitory is divided into two parts, the large one is his study, and the small one is his bedroom, and I think he usually deals with the affairs of the underworld here. The interior decoration of the house matches his temperament very well, revealing a faint sense of luxury.
Neither of them spoke, and the room fell into a faint silence. Yue Luo seemed to be a little surprised by her quiet today, and raised his head with some confusion and looked at her on the side. When he looked at it, he was facing a pair of tender eyes like water, those eyes were as black as obsidian, and he was looking at himself gently, and when he looked closely, there was a trace of breathtaking charm. Yue Luo looked at her, then turned his head casually, and said lightly, "You are seriously injured and have not healed, why don't you rest more." ”
Xuan Che saw her speak, and pretended to be sad and said, "The prince can still be your person." ”
Yue Luo was fiddling with Sinan's hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be a little impatient, it seems that Hu Ji didn't ask less about this. Sure enough, Yue Luo's slightly impatient voice sounded, "What's wrong with you?"
Xuan Che threw something in his hand in front of his eyes, and said sadly, "You ask me what's wrong, you can see for yourself." ”
