Save the disabled male protagonist

make up?

Lu Yuanming knows the meaning of make-up. Since ancient times, women have used to use makeup on their faces.

But what Chu Xiao said about makeup doesn't seem to mean that.

At this time, Chu Xiao had already taken out the usual makeup box from the dressing table, opened it, and explained to Lu Yuanming: "After the makeup is done, you can make Lord Hou look the same as half a month ago."

After hearing this, Lu Yuanming roughly understood that there are also disguise techniques in Jianghu, which are said to be similar to makeup, and can have the miraculous effect of changing a person's appearance.

Lu Yuanming thought it was an exaggerated rumor before, but it turned out that there was such a way, and his husband and wife suspected it.

It's just that Lu Yuanming suddenly had a subtle flash in his heart, Chu Xiao seemed to... every morning...

Before Lu Yuanming could think about it, Chu Xiao had already carefully spread the white powder on his face.

This kind of makeup powder is not the popular lead powder nowadays. After all, Chu Xiao knows that although these lead powders can have immediate effects, they contain a chronic toxin, which will make the skin darken after a long time, and it looks like that. An unnatural look.

During this time, Chu Xiao had intended to investigate the market. He had a demand for cosmetics and the like, so he asked someone to hire some makeup girls who could develop rouge. These powders were a new product called jade hairpin powder.

It is made by grinding and steaming the seeds of Mirabilis jasmine, then using the unopened hosta flower, cutting off the flower stalk, putting it into it, and turning it into a powder after grinding.

These powders not only have a delicate fragrance when used, but also are not as easy to smudge as lead powder.

Chu Xiao painted Lu Yuanming's face with powder, and his blood-colored face turned pale, and then Chu Xiao took out black powder to smear the fine details of his outline, creating the illusion of being thin and bony.

Lu Yuanming closed his eyes and let Chu Xiao act on his face. The young man's fingertips just caressed his face carefully. Sometimes he got very close, and he could feel his warm breath on his skin. Gently brushing over it, evoked a vague itching.

Lu Yuanming couldn't help coughing.

Chu Xiao's hands almost trembled, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Master Hou, what's the matter?"

Lu Yuanming drew back his long eyelashes deeply, twirled the root of his tongue in his mouth, and finally said meaningfully: "It's very fragrant."

Chu Xiao felt a little guilty when he heard the words, since he got this powder, he has been using it every day, won't Lu Yuanming smell it?

But probably not, how could he understand this?

When he finally stopped, Chu Xiao looked around and felt that something was missing. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, smeared some black powder on his fingertips, and rubbed it on Lu Yuanming's lips little by little.

I saw the young man's originally soft and light-colored thin lips were gently rubbed back and forth with his fingertips, and within a short while, they were stained with a faint black cyan, making him look extremely pitiful.

During this period, Lu Yuanming clenched his hands uncomfortably.

And after a while, a servant girl's voice came from outside the door: "Master Hou, madam, there are already people outside."

Chu Xiao collected everything and put it back to its original place.

Here, King Yu and Li Ziqiu got off their sedan chairs.

Now Li Ziqiu is an imperial envoy, the official worships the third grade, and does things with the imperial decree, and he does not worship unless he is the emperor, so naturally he does not need to meet King Yu like ordinary people.

The two just nodded their heads as a greeting, and then entered the Hou's mansion.

In fact, logically speaking, the Hou Mansion should have a master to welcome them, but considering that Pingnan Hou Lu Yuanming is seriously ill in bed, and Hou Ye's wife Chu Xiao has not been able to show up, it is human nature to take care of them.

It was only after the two entered the main courtyard that they saw Chu Xiao.

I saw that Lu Yuanming's newly married wife was really just an ordinary man's wife, nothing special could be seen.

When the two were looking at Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao was also looking at the two. The one on the left who was in his 20s was Li Ziqiu, with a dignified appearance and a bit of integrity.

The one on the right, around thirty, tall and slender, with deep eyes and thin lips, wearing a dark blue python suit, is Sima Chong, Sima Qian's half-brother.

The relationship between the two brothers is good. Although there is more than ten years of age difference, Sima Qian has always loved the only younger brother.Sima Chong's personality is completely opposite to Sima Qian's, and he is famously straightforward and arrogant.

After Chu Xiao and the two saluted, Li Ziqiu's expression remained the same as before, and he also respectfully returned the salute, "Hello Madam Hou."

Sima Chong did not speak, but just watched with cold eyes.

This time, the errand given to him by the emperor's brother, Sima Chong felt a little tricky before he started to do it.First, Brother Huang came to him and asked him to be careful and pay attention to everything during this trip, and to report to him quietly if there was anything wrong, and asked him to save himself.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Xiao An also visited late at night, saying that he had something to ask for, but after Sima Chong considered it, he did not meet him. After all, he is now the main investigator of the case, and everyone in the court is watching.

But Xiao An still handed him a letter.

After reading the letter, Sima Chong didn't sleep all night, and he was not in good spirits this morning, and even a little upset.

In the final analysis, Sima Chong's interests are also closely related to the clan. The powerful landlords and the powerful and nobles are one and indivisible.

Lu Tong violated Sima Chong's interests, and he was a prodigy, with military power in his hands, so Sima Chong was naturally wary of him. In addition, Sima Chong and Lu Yuanming had always been at odds with each other, and the two had fought once, or he was beaten unilaterally ...

In short, Sima Chong hated and feared Lu Yuanming, but he never thought that he would really kill him.

After the news came, Sima Chong also found it incredible, but now he knew the reason, but Sima Chong still didn't believe it. With Lu Yuanming's character and talent, did he really stay silent like this?

When he saw Lu Yuanming, a man and wife, Sima Chong believed him a little bit, and couldn't help feeling a little more gloating in his heart.

Lu Yuanming's eyes were high, but he was forced to marry such a man. It is conceivable that he has suffered so much!

But when he stepped into Lu Yuanming's main house, Sima Chong's mood quickly dissipated.

As soon as Chu Xiao entered the door, he walked to Lu Yuanming's side and said softly, "Husband, the two adults are here."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Xiao turned around, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "My husband is currently in inconvenient condition and cannot get up, please forgive me, two adults."

Hearing this, Sima Chong couldn't help but feel a little weird. This Chu Xiao looked ordinary, but he didn't expect that he was sincere to Lu Yuanming, and he was very considerate and gentle, which was unexpected.

And Lu Yuanming didn't even refute.

When Sima Chong looked over, he realized that Lu Yuanming was really sick and short-lived.

Sima Chong was a little unaccustomed to not seeing those eyes that were always shining like swords.

Li Ziqiu spoke first: "Master Hou, Li Ziqiu, I was ordered to investigate the military situation this time. I need Master Hou to report the situation at that time truthfully. I still have a few questions to ask Master Hou. Don't blame Hou Ye."

Sima Chong still looked around suspiciously, he squinted his eyes, and then said: "Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I am very polite."

Lu Yuanming's voice was still very cold, he ignored Sima Chong at all, and said to Li Ziqiu, "Master Li, please ask me.

Although Sima Chong had expected it, he couldn't be angry in the end. Seeing that Lu Yuanming was not the same as before, and that Chu Xiao was still looking at him vigilantly, Sima Chong felt that he was extremely bored, so he sat aside with a sneer.

Someone here has already carried out the tables and chairs, and someone started to record.

Li Ziqiu took out the pamphlets he had prepared, and asked one by one: "That day when the soldiers of Liang State came under pressure, how did the general judge the military situation and what orders did he give?"

Lu Yuanming hardly needs time to recall these questions. During these days, the scene at that time has been repeatedly flashing in his mind. He has tried to figure out all the details countless times. Now that he thinks about it, it is still the same as what happened yesterday. Same.

Lu Yuanming tried his best to explain everything slowly in an objective way.

On that day, when he learned that the Liang army had set up camp again and was approaching the border, Lu Tong knew that this battle was inevitable. In the past few years, the new dynasty had not long been established, and it was time to recuperate. Feeling developed and growing, with the idea of ​​invading the border.

Lu Tong had fought against Liang Guo's army several times before, Liang's army had a large number of people, and each time they were defeated, but they never really hurt their strength. Lu Tong also had scruples, because the military department was short of supplies, so they couldn't make a big move.

But that day, after discussions with Lu Tong, Lu Yuanming and several other generals, it was decided to take advantage of the low morale of Liang soldiers after their defeat and the right time and place to annihilate the Liang army.

Hearing this, Li Ziqiu had several thoughts in his mind: "Master Hou, what you mean is that the general and other generals discussed the decision to defeat the Liang army together?"

Because in the memorial presented by Gu Hanyi before, the reason in it was that Lu Tong underestimated the enemy and entered the enemy's ambush by mistake. Obviously, there are too many things to dig out.

Lu Yuanming also said with certainty: "That's right, it's Gu Hanyi, Hu Yue, and Wu Rui. They all supported my father's decision, and they also persuaded my father."

After Li Ziqiu wrote down this point, Sima Chong's eyebrows twitched when he heard a familiar name.

Sima Chong hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and questioned: "Master Hou, there is something wrong with this statement, how can the subordinates object to the decision made by the general? Even if the strategy is wrong, the reputation of the general , no one dares to mention it."

However, after he finished speaking, before Lu Yuanming could respond, Chu Xiao raised the corners of his lips and drew a cold arc: "My lord, since you also know that the general is famous, why would you say such a thing? Since the general has been with His Majesty, for so many years, he has made great achievements repeatedly in the South and North. Isn't this because the general used his troops like a god? Since it is the decision of the general, it must be reasonable. The prince has never led troops When it comes to war, it’s normal to have some ignorance, you might as well listen to the whole thing before you ask questions.”

Sima Chong's face suddenly changed, he never expected that this person in front of him would dare to speak to him like that!He also mocked him openly and secretly, pretending to understand, pointing fingers.

Although Lu Yuanming couldn't move, but the other man's wife was just a commoner, so he couldn't punish her?

However, before Sima Chong said anything, Lu Yuanming said coolly, "Sima Chong, this Marquis also thinks Madam is right."
