The son-in-law is too shy

When the two returned to the mansion, Li Qiushuang said that he still had things to deal with and asked Xu Huaian to go back to the house or go around first, then he went to the study and called Jiang Xiuqing over.

"Young Palace Master, are you looking for me?" Jiang Xiuqing asked.

Li Qiushuang nodded and said, "I want you to help me look into that matter again."

Jiang Xiuqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Palace Master, you mean the son-in-law?"

Li Qiushuang frowned slightly and said, "I don't know either, but my father looks strange when he sees her today, it seems...it seems that she looks like an old friend of my father's."

Jiang Xiuqing was quite shocked and said: "The young palace master means to investigate the emperor?"

Li Qiushuang was silent for a while before saying: "No, you go and check on her mother, Mrs. Shen."

"I understand, I'll make arrangements now." Jiang Xiuqing nodded.

"Wait." Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Qiushuang hurriedly called.

"What other arrangements does Young Palace Master have?" Jiang Xiuqing turned around and asked.

Li Qiushuang pursed her lips and said, "Be careful about this, don't let the son-in-law know."

Jiang Xiuqing covered her lips and snickered, "Young Palace Master, don't worry."

Watching Jiang Xiuqing leave, Li Qiushuang frowned for a moment before letting go.

She breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked into the house.

Fang stepped to the inner courtyard but heard the maid said that Xu Huai'an had gone to the backyard garden, she nodded and looked for it.

When she reached the back garden, she saw Xu Huai'an standing in the pavilion by the pond, frowning and looking at the water.

Thinking about what Emperor Wen said this morning, she was extremely confused.

Seeing that Li Qiushuang was about to salute, Hongtao raised her hand to stop Li Qiushuang and motioned for them to back off.

Hongtao glanced at Xu Huai'an and then at Li Qiushuang, then quietly exited the yard.

Li Qiushuang walked to Xu Huaian's side, seeing that she was still in a daze, she couldn't help asking, "What is the son-in-law thinking?"

Xu Huai'an was startled by Li Qiushuang's sudden utterance, she quickly turned her head to see Li Qiushuang was looking at her, she hesitated and said: "I am thinking about what the emperor said this morning."

"You don't need to think too much." Li Qiushuang closed her eyes and looked straight ahead and said, "Father may just have admitted a mistake. He probably didn't realize that you are a woman."

"Yes." Xu Huai'an responded.

What she thinks is not whether Emperor Wen has discovered her identity as a woman, but the vague sense of nostalgia when Emperor Wen talks to her makes her feel that Emperor Wen is missing the old man through himself.

Just who is that old friend?Is it really about her?

Li Qiushuang saw that Xu Huaian didn't speak for a long time, so she knew that this person was struggling again.

"Five days later it will be the Empress Dowager's banquet, son-in-law..."

Li Qiushuang just opened her mouth, but she saw a cold light from the corner of her eyes. Her face turned cold, she raised her hand and waved her sleeves, and slapped the oncoming dart to a pillar beside her.

Li Qiushuang glanced at the shape of the dart, it was a snake-shaped dart, her face turned a little cold.

Xu Huai'an was even more shocked, she would never have thought that someone would assassinate Li Qiushuang's residence, she turned her head to look at Li Qiushuang, only to see that her complexion was not good, and she was faintly bored.

"Rong Lian."

Li Qiushuang's voice was cold, with a faint killing intent.

"Master Li Shaogong, long time no see, have you ever missed my slave's house?"

It was an extremely seductive voice, and the person who came was also a charming and charming woman.

Wearing a red dress and a black thin shirt, her eyebrows are curved and the corners of her eyes are raised, and her already seductive eyes are even more enchanted by the dark eye shadow. Her vermilion lips are raised, and she smiles lazily. All of the above are full of styles.

"I didn't kill you that day, why don't I come here today to die?"

Li Qiushuang took a wrong step forward and took advantage of the opportunity to block Xu Huai'an behind her, while she looked directly at the woman named Rong Lian.

Rong Lian saw Li Qiushuang's move in her eyes, she curled her lips, narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I heard the news about you, the Young Palace Master, when I first came to the capital, and I thought the Young Palace Master was trying to deceive people, but I didn't want to It is really unexpected that the cold and decisive Young Palace Mistress in the past has married a woman, and she is still married to such a delicate and tender boy."

Li Qiushuang was unmoved, and only said: "What do you want to do?"

Rong Lian was not frightened by her appearance, but smiled and said: "Don't worry, the slave family will not take away people's love, let alone yours, the young palace master? The slave family came here to deliver a message to the young palace master."

"Say." Li Qiushuang frowned.

"Three days later, the Raksha gatekeeper will make a big move." Rong Lian said with a smile.

Li Qiushuang's expression froze: "How can I trust your words?"

Rong Lian didn't care at all: "My family is just in charge of spreading the word, whether you believe it or not depends entirely on Your Highness, don't forget, our goal is the same, we can't take advantage of those people from the Western Regions."

Li Qiushuang didn't speak, but Xu Huai'an knew that Li Qiushuang was less hostile towards Rong Lian.

"Where is their goal?" Li Qiushuang asked.

Rong Lian covered her lips and smiled coquettishly: "What's the matter, the Young Palace Mistress stopped killing the servants?"

Li Qiushuang looked at her and said, "Rong Lian, don't test my patience, have you forgotten how Rongcheng died?"

Xu Huai'an obviously saw the slight change in Rong Lian's face, and heard her snort softly: "My people only hear this, but the purpose of the Rakshamen is nothing more than Changling Scroll."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Li Qiushuang waved her hands and said, "I see, you can go."

Rong Lian curled her lips, but looked at Xu Huai'an meaningfully, and left with ease.

Naturally, Li Qiushuang couldn't sit idly by when Rong Lian brought such news.

20 years ago, the Rakshamen could destroy Langxuan, a great family and business, so it is not difficult to destroy a few more sects in the Central Plains now.

She hurriedly sent back to Jiang Xiuqing to inform various martial arts sects in the form of flying pigeons.

Xu Huai'an doesn't understand Jianghu affairs, but seeing a sect can make Li Qiushuang's face change, it shows how powerful it is.

Li Qiushuang had something on her mind, so she went into the study without even having dinner.

Xu Huai'an saw that although it was a contract, Li Qiushuang treated her very well, and if he couldn't share her worries, he could always do something else. Thinking of this, Xu Huai'an asked the kitchen to boil millet porridge to warm his stomach and wait for Li Qiushuang to finish his work.

It was late at night when Li Qiushuang finished her work, she felt a little regretful as soon as she stepped into the inner courtyard after she came out of the study.

If Xu Huai'an fell asleep, wouldn't he disturb her?

Just as she was about to leave, she found a candle burning in the room. She was surprised and pushed the door open.

When he entered the room, he saw Xu Huai'an lying on the table as if he had fallen asleep, a candle was burning beside him, but it warmed Li Qiushuang's heart.

Li Qiushuang rarely had a gentle smile on her face, she stepped forward and was about to hug Xu Huai'an to the bed, but Xu Huai'an opened his eyes.

"Your Highness?" Xu Huai'an glanced at Li Qiushuang dimly, and said in a daze.

Li Qiushuang paused her outstretched hand, then retracted it pretending to be natural, with a calm face: "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Xu Huai'an blinked, and his pupils returned to their usual clarity.

"Go to bed when you wake up." Li Qiushuang got up and said.

Xu Huai'an's cheeks were slightly red, and then he said: "Sleep later."

She got up and went out, just when Li Qiushuang was wondering what Xu Huai'an was doing, she saw someone walking in with a soup cup and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Li Qiushuang asked curiously.

Xu Huai'an was a little embarrassed and said: "I saw that His Highness didn't use much for dinner, so I asked the kitchen to cook this millet porridge. The rice porridge is light and nourishes the stomach. Although Your Highness is busy, you have to be careful."

Li Qiushuang glanced at Xu Huai'an, raised her hand to open the lid of the soup pot, and looked at the still warm rice porridge inside, Li Qiushuang felt as if something had shaken her heart.

She took the soup spoon, took a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

The rice porridge is soft and glutinous, with a hint of sweetness.

After Li Qiushuang ate most of a cup of rice porridge, she took the handkerchief and wiped her lips, turned her head to look at Xu Huai'an who had been looking at her, and couldn't help but bend her lips.

"The son-in-law has a heart."

Seeing the smile on Li Qiushuang's face, for some reason Xu Huai'an felt her face burning, she turned her head away from Li Qiushuang.

"It's getting late, Your Highness should rest early, and be busy tomorrow."

Seeing the man's shy look, Li Qiushuang was in a good mood for some reason, and said: "That's right, the son-in-law should rest earlier."

"En." Xu Huai'an answered vaguely.

Lying on the bed, Xu Huai'an thought about what happened just now, but felt embarrassed on the face, his behavior just now was too pretentious, if people look at it, they will definitely be suspicious.

She turned over and her eyes fell on Li Qiushuang who was sleeping on the soft couch not far away.

Li Qiushuang is undoubtedly a perfect person. She has a delicate face and excellent martial arts. Although she has a cold temper, her character is not bad. If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid that she would still be living a life that is not as good as a servant in the Xu family .

Xu Huai'an was a little bit disappointed, she had been away from Xu's family for two days, Li Qiushuang treated her very well, she was never short of food and clothing, and the servants in the mansion also regarded her as their priority and never neglected her.

For all this, she should be grateful to Li Qiushuang. Maybe Li Qiushuang chose her out of helplessness at first, but she never let her helplessness treat her badly.

Xu Huaian closed his eyes.

She only repaid Li Qiushuang's kindness little by little.

In the next two days, Li Qiushuang was busy contacting the various sects, and Xu Huai'an also obviously noticed that the guards at the princess' mansion were also tense.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Li Qiushuang was having breakfast with Xu Huaian when she saw Jiang Xiuqing pushing the door and rushing in.

"Young Palace Master, something serious has happened!"

Hearing this, Li Qiushuang's face froze, she quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "What happened?"

Jiang Xiuqing handed her a note, and Li Qiushuang's face changed drastically when she saw it.

Kongtong has been destroyed, and it desires Langxuan.

Li Qiushuang was pinching the note, with a hint of anger on her face: "It's too much to bully people!"

Jiang Xiuqing said: "The Kongtong Sect is an old sect in Jianghu, with a rich background, and it will be wiped out by people."

Li Qiushuang sighed softly: "How about Kongtong? Didn't Langxuan also be destroyed 20 years ago?"

Xu Huai'an listened, but was slightly stunned, what she cared about was not Kongtong Nuoda's sect being exterminated, but Li Qiushuang's sentence that Langxuan was also exterminated 20 years ago.

20 years ago, Langxuan.

Xu Huaian remembered that the word Langxuan was engraved on the jade pendant that Shen Mengyun gave her to keep as a bodyguard.

What is the relationship between Shen Mengyun and Langxuan, why there is Langxuan's jade pendant, and what happened 20 years ago?

Xu Huai'an thought about it, but couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

20 years ago, it was the year she was born.

She felt that the surroundings were full of mysteries, as if a thick fog covered everything, making her confused.
