"Sister, may I ask where is Master Zheng's room?" Xie Xuan asked a peach-shirted maid respectfully.

The maid was trimming the branches, she turned her head to look at the words, she was taken aback for a moment.

Although Xie Xuan's body is not very old, its figure is no different from that of an adult.However, he has a slender frame and has never worn a crown. In addition to the fact that he was hungry and full in the cold palace, one can tell at a glance that he is just a young man with unknown personal affairs.

It's just that the world rarely sees such a handsome young man.

The maid had a good impression of him and asked, "Are you a new servant?"

"Sister is smart." Xie Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, "I just came here not long ago, and I was thinking about what happened a few days ago, so I wanted to see what Master Zheng needs."

It was a concubine named Li Zheng who had a conflict with Li Yu that day.

The reason why Xie Xuan was able to find out so quickly was because the name Li Zheng was well-known in the mansion.

He left the living room, took a long detour to avoid the consul, and came to this courtyard without knowing it.In order not to be so conspicuous, Xie Xuan loosened her robe on purpose, and kneaded the cuffs and hem of the clothes.

When he left the palace today, he dressed plainly on purpose, and even scolded the ten princes, and finally picked out a hairpin as if in compromise.

At first glance, he really looks like a frizzy boy.

For example, such a shameful thing as the eldest son's head being opened in his own mansion, even if it was covered tightly on the surface, it could not stop people's private rumors.

Xie Xuan walked in Li's house, as if walking in his own back garden.Relying on this deceptive face, he walked all the way and listened all the way. Slowly, he had a general idea of ​​the word Li Zheng in his heart.

Li Zheng and Li Yinghan, his biological mother had dystocia when giving birth to him, and died half an hour later; when he was five years old, when he was playing with his elder brother, there was a dispute over a peach. Later, his elder brother climbed a tree and tried to pick another one, but failed and fell He fell into a fool; at the age of ten, he and his aunt and sister went to a temple outside the city to ask for a lottery. They encountered robbers on the road, and the carriage accidentally fell into a cliff. Unfortunately, his aunt and sister died, but Li Zheng survived by hanging on a tree with a crooked neck. ;13 years old...

The list goes on and on.

Among the descendants of the Li family, the descendants of the Li family, and even Li Jin himself, Li Zheng was destined to be a lone star of evil spirits.

According to common sense, this person who wants to be worshiped as an ancestor must either be dealt with secretly before he grows up; Luck.

But no one knows why Li Zheng was left in the Li family's mansion in the end and became an official.

"Actually, Master Zheng is quite pitiful. In order to avoid this kind of fate, the master has already refused to recognize his identity as a young master. He was only adopted to the servants who burned the fire in the firewood house. Therefore, although Master Zheng's surname is Li, he is actually related to him. It’s the same as a servant..." A young man sighed.

"If it were me, I would live my life cautiously. I only hope that this life can be spent in peace, and I dare not seek fame and fortune." Xie Xuan echoed, "How dare Master Zheng touch Master Yu?"

"Shh! I want to call Master Zuo Buque!" The little servant was shocked, "Master Zuo Buque hates being called Young Master the most. You didn't understand it when you came here, so you have to pay attention next time!"

Xie Xuan was silent.After thinking for a while, he remembered that Li Yu should be serving as Zuo Buque in the lower province of the court.

"If you ask me, I don't know." The boy continued, "As servants, it's better not to inquire about the affairs of the adults, just talk about it in private, but don't dare to discuss too much."

Xie Xuan thought that you talked a lot.But after thinking about it, these maids have been chewing their tongues for so long, but they are all talking about Li Zheng. When the topic of Li Yu or Li Jin is touched, most of them fall silent.

It can be seen that Li Zheng is really something that everyone can step on in the mansion.

For example, the maid in front of me who was asked the way by Xie Xuan.

"Why do you want to see Young Master Zheng? You are not afraid of getting bad luck and dying." The maid must have felt pity for Xie Xuan's face, she even put down the branch in her hand, "The kindness is not for this. "

Xie Xuan asked curiously: "Really, most of the people who get along with Young Master Zheng are..."

"It's not most of them, it's all of them." The maid said softly, "The master once asked the master to make a fortune for Young Master Zheng. If he is lucky and misses the opportunity to meet the nobleman Tianyi, his fate will not be suppressed even when the king of hell comes." Forget it, he looked Xie Xuan up and down, "Can your fate be as tough as Lord Yan's?"

Xie Xuan seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "I can't tell."

So in the eyes of this maid, Xie Xuan is the kind of person who is obsessed with obsession and insists on challenging God's will.I don't know if it's because Xie Xuan's face suits her liking, or because she doesn't want an innocent person to be influenced by the vicious robbery, so she just doesn't want to tell Li Zheng's whereabouts.

In the end, it was easy to talk, and the maid let go of her mouth leisurely, and pointed to the distance casually.

Xie Xuan bowed to thank her, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back suddenly.

"Sister, I still have something to say."

"What?"

"My sister met me today, I hope you don't tell others."

The maid paused, then suddenly said: "Are you worried that the master will punish you for getting close to Young Master Zheng for no reason, right? It's all right, I won't talk about it, you can rest assured. Kind-hearted people like you are rare in Li's mansion. It's..."

Xie Xuan smiled, turned and left noncommittal.

Today he visited the Li Mansion with the Tenth Prince, and if nothing unexpected happens, the news will reach Li Jin's ears tomorrow.This person has all-hands and eyes and is full of ambitions. It is unreasonable not to know what happened under his nose.

From Li Jin's point of view, Xie Xuan, who is the prince, must be the Queen Mother's eyeliner.

If there is really something wrong with Li Zheng, the exposure of his approach to Li Zheng will not be a serious problem to Xie Xuan, but it will be a disaster to the maid who leads the way for him.

The maid didn't know his identity, but Xie Xuan couldn't pretend not to know.

He is not a kind person. When he was in power in his previous life, the blood on his hands could flow from Ziluan Palace to Wenxuan Gate.Now for the first time being praised for his kindness, there is an illusion that he is living someone else's life.

Forget it, just take it as a small gesture to thank Lord Yan for making his life tough.

The direction the maid pointed was in the south corner.The Li family's mansion is vast, with yards next to yards, and even the servants of the mansion often can't find their familiar paths.But Xie Xuan found the right place step by step based on the impression the maid told.

There is no other reason, just because this courtyard is too unique.

In the thriving and prosperous Li Mansion, there is only a lonely courtyard with weeds crawling all over the ground and no one to clean it up.There is a peach tree growing in the yard, its branches stretch out its teeth and claws, supporting the trunk to survive.

Xie Xuan walked through the courtyard gate, and felt a quiet atmosphere, as if the invisible things in the ground were moved to the human world.

Facing the gate of the courtyard is the main house in the compound, the gate is closed tightly, and there is a lock on the door.Xie Xuan stood at the door, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Li Zheng?"

No one answered.

Xie Xuan did not give up: "Li Yinghan?"

The only answer to him was the noisy rustling sound of dead leaves being blown up by the wind.

Could it be that he died in the house?Before he came, he seemed to have vaguely heard that Li Zheng was severely punished by Li Jin, with injuries all over his body?According to the punishment method for people like Li Jin, if you don't lose half your life, you will have to peel off your skin.

Xie Xuan looked down at the long locks, paused for a moment, and then pulled out the hairpin that bundled her hair expressionlessly.

It is a fool not to pick the lock!

With a "click", the weak lock fell to the ground.

The door, covered with several layers of dust, was slowly pushed open with a groan.Xie Xuan listened to all directions, stood vigilantly at the door, and was not in a hurry to go in.

The inside of the house was very dark, the doors and windows were originally closed, but now that the door was opened by Xie Xuan, it became the only light source shining into the house.He waited for his eyes to adjust to such a thick darkness before thinking about whether to go or stay next.

However, at a certain moment when he was distracted, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the door, grabbing Xie Xuan's wrist violently!

Before Xie Xuan could even make a sound, she was dragged in violently.

Turning his body over, he was crushed by a black shadow, unable to move.A cold touch stuck to Xie Xuan's throat like a snake, as cold as ice and snow, just like that person's voice.

"Don't move." The man said slowly, "Did I say that if you bother me again, you will never get out alive?"
