There is always a rival who wants to attack me 2

"Master is painting right now, I'm afraid you will have to think about it later." A dark guard dressed as an entourage led the head of the imperial hospital into the study.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir." The head of the Supreme Hospital straightened his face, then took a deep breath to make himself look more calm, and then walked into the study.

It was different from the still dark sky outside.The study room is brightly lit.But the half-burned candles on the table showed that the owner of the study was almost up all night.

The tall and handsome man was standing in front of the table, holding a paintbrush and drawing carefully on the spread out drawing paper. His careful and focused appearance was very gentle, which softened the original coldness and austerity.But the head of the imperial hospital became more and more cautious. As the first group of people who surrendered their allegiance, he knew better than anyone else that the young man in front of him had hidden tricks that were completely calculated and unpredictable.

"My lord please be safe."

"What's the matter?"

"The situation has changed, it's the Lu family."

"Oh?"

The head of the hospital thought about his words, and described what he saw and heard that night: "Before, the Holy Majesty wanted to choose a family as a puppet. Originally, Lu Hou was cowardly, and that Lu Weiyao was just a vase who knew some superficial tricks. A good candidate. But when I got in touch with her today, I found that Lu Yunxi, the son of Marquis Lu, did not match the rumors. It seemed... a bit spiritual.

"did you mean……"

"There is still a period of time for the three-year draft, so why don't you watch it again. What's more, the imperial examination is coming soon. If the son of Marquis Lu is worthy of his reputation, he can also be cultivated to be the help of our sage. After all, he is a twin son, and his mother's family can't count on him at all. .If you really enter the imperial court, you have no choice but to attach yourself to the royal family."

"Well, I understand, you step back." Zheng Wang nodded to show his understanding, and let the head of the Supreme Hospital leave.

"Yes." The head of the hospital saluted respectfully, and then left the study lightly.

Calm was restored in the study, and the regent continued to paint the unfinished painting in his hand.

In the corner, a dark guard appeared suspiciously, knelt on the ground and did not reply for a long time.

"How did the investigation go?" asked the Regent.

The hidden guard became more and more hesitant, and after a long silence, he answered: "Master Mo's words are true, Lu Hou's son is indeed extraordinary. It's just his appearance that makes the subordinates care..."

"Ok?"

"This Lu Yunxi is [-]% similar to the boy you usually draw." Taking out a portrait from his sleeve, the dark guard added carefully, "This was submitted by the person who watched the Hou Mansion at night. No There are no portraits before coming to Kyoto, because the man was not in the Hou's mansion at that time, and we didn't pay special attention to it."

The regent was a little dazed when he saw the portrait in the hands of the dark guard, and he said slowly after a long time: "Order, the palace will hold a banquet in three days, and invite all the princes in the capital. You will personally deliver the invitations from the Lu family. Be sure to deliver them In Lu Yunxi's hands."

"Yes." The dark guard responded.

Hou's backyard

Mrs. Jihou sat in front of the bed in the bedroom with a sullen face.After being pushed back to her own yard, her confidants were forcibly taken away by the housekeeper.

Although the maidservants who are serving at the moment are familiar, they don't know where they came from.The only thing that can be judged is that none of these people served in the inner court before.

"Ma'am, don't worry, the second master has ordered that the person who was serving you will come right away." A maid with dark skin and a hoarse voice said to Mrs. Jihou with a grin.

"Understood." Mrs. Jihou frowned, a trace of boredom flashed in her eyes.This stupid servant girl didn't know where she was transferred, but she didn't understand the rules at all, making noise like a house sparrow.If it was normal, she would have killed the person a long time ago, but now she can only endure it.

Sighing, Mrs. Ji Hou stabilized her mind and tried to ask the maid about the situation outside.Pulling off the hairpin on her head, she took the servant girl's hand, put the hairpin in her hand and said softly: "My good girl, your Lord Marquis has annoyed me, and you won't even see me face to face. But you care about me as a mother anyway." Xin, tell me about the situation at Yaoer's side?"

"Elder Master!" The servant girl didn't know whether she was genuinely stunned or pretending to be stupid, but she said casually, "Madam, don't worry, the Eldest Master will never be so sad to you. Besides, the servants over there have all seen big scenes before." Yes, it doesn’t matter even if the eldest son has not woken up, I remember that one of the ancestors raised pigs and had some medical skills.”

"This..." Mrs. Ji Hou couldn't speak out in her throat, and before she could ask, she was interrupted again.

"Besides, I don't need your hairpin. It's inconvenient to carry it when cleaning the hut on weekdays."

The servant who raised pigs in the ancestors and the maid who cleaned the hut?It's really nice.Madam Jihou's complexion suddenly changed.In addition, when she recalled that the servant girl had brought tea and water for her just now, and even grabbed pastries with her hands, her stomach was churning continuously.

But this maid was not idle, she kept muttering non-stop: "Don't worry, I came to serve you after I washed my hands in the morning. What's more, our Hou's mansion is clean, even if it is a place of reincarnation of grains , and it’s not as dirty as you think. It’s been incensed several times a day, and it’s probably more elegant than the clothes you wear!”

"Get out! Get out quickly!" Mrs. Ji Hou couldn't bear it any longer, she covered her mouth and almost vomited it out.

But the maid didn't move, but patted her on the back exaggeratedly: "Oh, it was fine just now, what happened now? The second master said, it's useless even if you pretend to be sick, this Hanzhao Temple , even if it is death, it must pass!"

"What did you say?"

"I said, the second master said, this Hanzhao Temple, even if you die! You must go!" The voice of the maidservant slowly fell, and the hoarseness was mixed with a cool chill.In this posture of patting her back, she lowered her head and firmly clasped Mrs. Jihou's shoulders, put the hairpin she used to bribe her back to her ear, and brought it back to her, and said word by word in her ear: "Two The Lord also asked me to add a side note, don't worry, you have to pay back the debt you owed for 16 years little by little!"

The cold silverware brushed against the skin behind the ears, and Mrs. Ji Hou couldn't help shivering.And after hearing the maid's message, her body became stiff and her hands and feet became cold.

16 years of debt...

Lu Yunxi actually knew it.He knew that Mrs. Xianhou's death was related to him.

At the same time, she also recognized the appearance of this servant girl.

It turned out that she felt familiar before, not because she was a rough envoy in the mansion, and she had a chance encounter.It's because this servant girl resembles her mother very much, she is the granddaughter of the most loyal nurse around Mrs. Xianhou.

Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Jihou was silent.At this moment, her mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts mixed together and her headache was splitting, but at the same time, she also deeply realized a more important thing.

She can't go to Hanzhao Temple, otherwise... it will be a dead end.Even so, I am afraid that is the only way.

Lu Yunxi pretended to be a pig and a tiger because she didn't prepare for it before. Now that she knows each other's details, it's time for her to come up with countermeasures.

Forcing herself to calm down, Mrs. Ji gritted her teeth to calm down.

She took a deep breath, as if she was really frightened by this maid, she lay down on the bed with her back on her back, and ignored her again.But his hand quietly touched under the pillow, found something in the dark compartment at the head of the bed, and carefully hid it in his sleeve.

Hanzhang Pavilion

Li Xi leaned comfortably on the soft couch and flipped through a book of "Strategy", listening to the reports of the young servants beside him.

After taking care of Mrs. Hou's minions, he brought back Lu Yunxi's confidant in the old house in the south to his side.As for the poor servant girl next to Mrs. Jihou, he deliberately sent her away.After all, after Mrs. Hou has bullied Lu Yunxi's mother and son for many years, he only charged a little interest, which is not an exaggeration.It's just that for some reason, there was always some uneasiness in his heart.

Li Xi felt that Mrs. Jihou's reaction was wrong.According to the memory of the original body, this woman is scheming, sinister and vicious, and she can pretend to attract sympathy.However, she is a second-married girl, and she still managed to monopolize Marquis Lu for so many years through a lot of dirty tricks.

Now that they have fought several times, they seem to be vulnerable.Something doesn't seem right.

After closing the book in his hand, Li Xi's eyes became dim. He searched Lu Yunxi's memory carefully, but found nothing.

And at this moment, a black figure quietly left from Li Xi's study.What he held in his hand was the painting he drew yesterday to remind Hou Hou of Lu's memories...
