After the other two left, Su Qian had almost finished eating, "Cuiwei, clean this up."
"Slave... Cuiwei will tie up your hair first. Your hair is dry now, so it's a good time to tie it up. If it's loose like this, you look too much like a woman. Cuiwei just noticed that the general has been staring at you."
Su Qian's expression changed involuntarily, "Just now, the general was staring at me?"
Cuiwei: "Yes, Cuiwei noticed that the general's eyes were strange just now, but Cuiwei couldn't tell what was strange about it."
"So you should tie your hair up."
Su Qian was afraid that Lu Huan would discover her true identity and then kill her, so she said to Cui Wei, "Okay, then hurry up."
In ancient times, men would tie their hair into a cap at the age of 20, which meant they had reached adulthood. Although Su Zhao was only 18 years old, she pretended to be 21 in front of Lu Huan and the others.
So, according to her fake identity and fake age, it is indeed time for her to tie her hair up.
Although it was the first time Cuiwei helped a "man" tie his hair, she was very skillful. She first combed the hair, then tied it into a bun and secured it with a hairband. Su Qian did not have a silver hairpin or crown, so Cuiwei used a wooden hairpin to secure it, and that was it.
After her hair was tied up, she indeed looked more heroic than when it was loose. At that time, she had just finished taking a shower and Cuiwei was helping her to tie her hair. She was so busy having breakfast that she forgot about it.
More importantly, when she usually disguised herself as a man, she would paint her face black, but today... after taking a bath, her face was naturally white and clean.
Shit! Lu Huan wouldn't recognize her, after all, when she appeared as a "goddess" two months ago, she was emitting...
It doesn't matter if she recognizes you, the important thing is to prevent her from experiencing the feeling of being killed with one move again.
……
"Cuiwei, I want to ask you about the witch incident about two months ago. What exactly happened?"
Cuiwei thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know much about it either. I just heard the generals in the army mention it several times. They said that a demon girl fell from the sky. Yan Xuanye and the people of Fengyuan believed that it was a goddess who fell from the sky and could bring them good fortune."
"It is said that Yan Xuanye had already obtained the witch, but she was later shot dead by the general with an arrow. Then she turned into golden light and disappeared without even a corpse."
Su Qian: "And then?"
"Then the leader of Fengyuan State, Yan Xuanye, went crazy."
"Crazy? How crazy?"
Cuiwei was clearing the dishes: "That Yan Xuanye was determined to avenge the witch. I heard that blood flowed like a river and a pool of blood gathered in the desert. Our army was no match for the crazy Fengyuan barbarians and had to retreat all the way.
But those Fengyuan barbarians are like crazy, and they are not willing to give up on our Nanchang Kingdom. They threatened that General Lu would return the goddess to us. If the goddess cannot be resurrected, all the people of Nanchang Kingdom will pay with their lives. "
Su Qian's eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "All the people of Nanchang pay with their lives? He must be crazy."
Cuiwei was also very angry: "Who said it wasn't true? I heard it too." Cuiwei lowered her head and lowered her voice, "Yan Xuanye is gathering talented people all over the world to perform a ritual to summon the witch."
"Summoning? This is too fantastic."
"So, now the rumors are spreading that Yan Xuanye has gone crazy and has been bewitched by that witch. Otherwise, why would he go crazy after just one meeting?"
"My dear, I will wash the dishes first."
Su Qian was confused and said, "You go ahead."
Just as Cuiwei turned around to leave, Su Qian called her again, "Cuiwei, wait!"
"My dear, what else is there?"
"If anyone asks about what I asked you just now, don't tell them."
Su Qian rarely had such a serious moment. Although she didn't know why, since Su Qian had given such an order, Cui Wei naturally agreed, "Yes, I understand."
"Just call yourself Cuiwei in front of me, don't forget it."
Cuiwei bowed and said, "Yes, Cuiwei has made a note of it."
Su Qian didn't expect that Yan Xuanye would be so crazy that he wanted all the people of Nanchang to pay for their lives. He even believed in such a magical thing as summoning lives. Moreover, if she let him continue to be crazy like this, she would not be able to complete her mission.
Amitabha, I hope this plan can be implemented thoroughly.
……
Cuiwei had just finished the work at hand when she was called by the nanny under Bian Lu to go to his study.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered Su Qian's instructions: "If anyone asks you about what I asked you just now, don't tell them."
Although Lu Huan's temperament was not easily angered and he could be considered peaceful, he was always serious and had a very high prestige in the army. Normally, the servants did not dare to joke with him. Whenever they saw Lu Huan, they were like mice seeing a cat and would tremble endlessly.
Lu Huan used the tea lid to skim off the foam on the tea leaves, then took a sip, "You are the one serving Su Zhao?"
Cuiwei almost trembled like a sieve: "Yes."
Lu Huan smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you something."
"Excuse me, General."
"When you were serving Su Zhao, did you find anything wrong?"
Cuiwei looked up, a little surprised: "Something wrong?"
Lu Huan put down the tea lid, which lightly covered the tea bowl with a crisp sound. "Just recall it."
Cuiwei pretended to be confused, her eyes rolled around, and she muttered to herself, "Something is wrong."
After more than ten seconds, she slowly stopped and said, "In reply to the general, I did not find anything wrong with Mr. Su."
Lu Huan sneered and looked at her solemnly, as if to warn her: "Really? You should know that although you serve Su Zhao, you are the maid of this prefect, not Su Zhao's maid. Do you recall it carefully?"
His eyes suddenly became cold and deep. Cuiwei took a look and then knelt down with a plop. She put her head on the ground and did not dare to look up at Lu Huan: "General, please forgive me. I am loyal to Nanchang State and have no intention of hiding Su Langjun. Perhaps I am slow and did not find anything wrong. I hope the general will understand."
The room was completely silent. Just when Cuiwei thought she was doomed, Lu Huan spoke up: "Alright, I was just asking you. There's no need to scare you like this."
"Just one thing, you have to remember, if Su Zhao shows any rebellious intentions in the future, you will surely die if you dare to protect him." He emphasized these four words, the threat evident in his words.
Cuiwei kowtowed heavily: "Your servant, I understand."
"Go out."
"Yes."
After Cuiwei left, a black-clad secret guard walked out from the darkness and respectfully called out to Lu, "Master."
"How's the thing I asked you to do going?"
"I have followed the master's instructions."
"Okay, now we'll just wait for Yan Xuanye to come and kill us." Lu Huan put down the teacup and told the nanny beside him, "Mother Liao, the tea is cold, go get another cup of tea."
Mother Liao bowed and saluted: "Yes."
Mother Liao was Lu Huan's wet nurse and had her own set of rules for doing things. When she left, she closed the door of the study.
When the secret guard saw Madam Liao leave, he said, "Master, the maidservant did not tell the truth earlier."
Lu Huan: "I know, what did you find out?"
Secret Guard: "The cleaning lady in the corridor said that she heard Su Zhao asking about the witch and Yan Xuanye."
Lu Huan stroked the jade ring on his left thumb and said, "What else did you say?"
The secret guard was speechless for a moment: "That woman is a little... hard of hearing, she only heard this."
Lu Huan turned his head to look at him, with a look on his face that said, "What kind of idiot are you looking for? How can you do anything?" The secret guard immediately knelt down and said, "It's my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, Master."
"What's the point of punishing you? Pay more attention next time." Lu Huan paused. "Although I didn't find out anything, you did give me some information."
"What is the master going to do?"
"Hold your troops still for now. Before Yan Xuanye comes, you go and keep an eye on her in person. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately."
"Yes, I will take my leave." He disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
……
Except for the second day when he put forward an idea in front of a group of generals, Su Qian had been very idle during these days.
From Lu Huan, to Deputy General Wu, to Cui Wei and others, they all treated her with courtesy and were very polite. However, they would not tell her what plans they had, how they were going to implement them, and who they would use.
So Su Qian ate and drank every day, chatted with Cuiwei, and occasionally quarreled with the idle Deputy General Wu. In this way, he was idle day and night and managed to make up for the few pounds of weight he had lost before.
Although Su Qian wanted to gain Lu Huan's trust, seeing his coldness these days, Su Qian understood that he still didn't trust her. Even though Su Qian gave them advice, they were still on guard against her.
Don't be impatient about anything, as haste will lead to failure. She could only wait like this.
