People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Jiudong brushed aside the hair in front of his eyes, kicked Jiang Zhiyuan who was unconscious under his feet, and grinned, "Master, he passed out."

Xu Xilu stepped out from behind the door, knelt down, probed Jiang Zhiyuan's breath with his fingers, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity, he didn't die."

Jiu Dong shivered suddenly, "Master, you don't really think..." He made a movement of scratching his neck with a knife, "He is the son of the Pingxihou family."

"I know." If Jiang Zhiyuan died in Qingcheng Mountain for no reason, Ping Xihou and Ping Xihou's wife would definitely not let it go, and the Holy Majesty would definitely investigate the case thoroughly, then everyone in Qingcheng Mountain today would not be able to escape the responsibility, Xie Jia and Ping Xi Hou's Mansion is divided into two parties, once something happens to Jiang Zhiyuan, Xie's Mansion will be the first to be suspected, and Xu's Mansion will be the second to be suspected.

"Master, what shall we do now?"

"Drag him to the back of the mountain. When he wakes up tomorrow and finds himself in a strange place, and recalls what happened tonight, he will naturally think that it was a female ghost. We can also escape unscathed."

"Wonderful!" Jiudong exclaimed, "Master, you are really Zhuge reincarnated."

"Don't flatter here, go quickly."

Jiudong opened the door a crack, "Master, Jiang Jiuye's servant is still waiting outside."

Xu Xilu thought for a while, and said: "I'll lure him away, you drag him away, you have to be fast."

After the two made up their minds, Xu Xilu took a deep breath, opened the car window suddenly, got up and jumped out.Qingzi looked over as expected, "Who?!"

Xu Xilu quickly ran to the east, and Hunzi chased after him without thinking.Wearing a skirt, Xu Xilu's speed is really limited.After finally running to the door, he locked the door, but the prick had the key in his hand, and this action only delayed for some time.Fortunately, Hunzi also had ghosts in his heart, so he didn't dare to shout and arrest people.Seeing that he didn't have time to run back to the wing room, Xu Xilu paid attention to the house numbers of the wing rooms while running, saw the words "Xue Ting Jian" engraved on one of them, and entered through the window without hesitation.

Xie Qingsu had always slept lightly. The moment Xu Xilu landed on the ground, he sat up. Just as he was about to speak out, a pair of cold hands covered his lips, "Shut up, it's me."

Westland?

He couldn't see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, but he would never remember the aura of Xu Xilu's body wrong no matter what.Seeing that Xie Qingsu had calmed down, Xu Xilu let go of his hand. "Why are you here?" Xie Qingsu asked.

In the darkness, Xu Xilu's eyes were the only bright spots.He blinked and said, "I said I would come to you." Xu Xilu sat down by the bed, Xie Qingsu accidentally touched his clothes, and felt something wrong with the touch. Xu Xilu's clothes were very thin, A layer of veil, he could almost touch his skin, his face burned up, "You..."

"Shh!" Xu Xilu got up and walked to the door, put his ear on the door, listened for a while, and made sure that Hunzi had gone far, and then said: "Light on the lamp."

Xie Qingsu lit the oil lamp with a torch, and the faint light illuminated the whole room.When he saw Xu Xilu in red, he was obviously taken aback, "Why are you..."

"It's a long story." Xu Xilu poured himself a cup of tea, and gulped it down.He hasn't run like this for a long time, and now his heart is still beating wildly, and there is still a faint smell of blood in his mouth.His cheeks were flushed and his lips were even more gorgeous from running so fast and too fast.

Xie Qingsu forced himself to look away from Xu Xilu's face, "You were hiding from people just now?"

"Well, I'm hiding from Jiang Zhiyuan." Xu Xilu told Xie Qingsu what happened tonight in detail. After hearing this, Xie Qingsu couldn't help feeling a little scared: "Your move is too risky. Why don't you expose them directly?"

Xu Xilu spread his hands, "There is no definite evidence. Based on the testimony of Jiu Dong alone, my father may not believe me. What's more, since they have planned so carefully, they must have thought about what to say after the incident."

If their plan was successful and Jiang Zhiyuan successfully sneaked into Xu Anning's room, he didn't need to do anything to Xu Anning, as long as he saw her lying on the bed in her underwear, Xu Anning's reputation would be ruined.If they spread this matter to the public, the Hou Xu family would have no choice but to give Xu Anning to Jiang Zhiyuan as a concubine.If someone asked him why he appeared in the west wing where the female guests lived in Qingcheng Mountain, he could say that he got lost after drinking, and just happened to forget to lock the door between the east and west wing, so he bumped into Xu Anning's room by mistake. .

Xie Qingsu also thought about this, and said: "In that case, you should discuss it with me beforehand."

"Discuss with you, what else can you do other than stop me from going?" Xu Xilu said with a smile, "Should I wear women's clothes for me, or pretend to be a female ghost for Jiudong?"

"..."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I, Xu Xilu, have never been someone who needs to be protected. I will protect myself, don't worry." Xu Xilu couldn't help yawning, "Jiang The people in the government can't find me, so it's almost time to know that I've been tricked. When he goes back and finds that Jiang Zhiyuan has disappeared, he will definitely find someone to search the Qingcheng Mountain. I have to go back, lest someone see me like this. trap."

Xie Qingsu nodded, "Be careful in everything."

Xu Xilu walked to the door, and just about to open it, he heard a rush of footsteps from outside. Through the crack of the door, he could see many people walking around with torches, knocking on each door. The door of the wing.

Xu Xilu didn't expect Hunzi to be so fast. He closed the door, turned to look at Xie Qingsu, and said embarrassedly: "Qingsu, it seems that you have to protect me this time. Do you have a change of clothes? ?”

"Yes, in the closet."

Xu Xilu stopped talking nonsense, opened the closet and took out his clothes, took off the women's clothes on his body, changed into Xie Qingsu's clothes, and then used the water in the teapot to remove the makeup on his face.

Xie Qingsu watched his series of actions in shock, when Xu Xilu took off the women's clothes, Xie Qingsu turned his back suddenly, his face was burning hot.A certain person said without shame: "It's okay, you see, I'm not wearing a bellyband."

"..."

There was a faint ink smell on Xie Qingsu's clothes, which made Xu Xilu feel inexplicably at ease.After everything was ready, several voices came from the door:

"Master Xie's family lives in Xueting, does the benefactor still need to search?"

After a brief silence, a male voice said: "Search, why don't you search! If something happens to our ninth master, who can take the responsibility?" Then, the door rang heavily, "Thank you fifth son, the villain's surname Du, I'm the steward of Ping Xihou's Mansion. The ninth master of our mansion disappeared mysteriously in Qingcheng Mountain tonight, and his servant saw a suspicious person waiting to come to the East Wing, I wonder if you saw him?"

Xie Qingsu said: "No."

Manager Yidu was quiet for a while, and then said: "This matter is no small matter, just in case, I wonder if Mr. Xie can be accommodating and let us go in and have a look?"

"No."

"Mr. Xie, Master Jiu is missing. Our wife is really anxious. She told me to find him. If she offends me, she will come to the door with gifts to apologize in person. If Mr. Xie doesn't open the door again, please forgive me for being rude. gone."

The door opened from the inside with a creak, and the person who came out was not Xie Qingsu, nor a woman in red, but...

"Benefactor Xu?" A young monk asked in surprise, "Don't benefactor Xu lives in Huiming Room, how come he came to Xueting Room?"

Xu Xilu said generously: "I can't sleep at night, so I come to chat with Brother Qingsu to pass the time, can't I?"

Du Guanshi stepped forward and said, "Second Master Xu is well. May I ask if you have seen a woman in red?"

"I'm with Qingsu, he didn't see it, so naturally I didn't see it either." Xu Xilu smiled lightly, "What's going on in this world now, a steward of the Marquis's mansion dares to search his family's wing, what on earth Who gave you the courage?"

Du Guanshi's face froze, and he reluctantly said: "Our Madam Hou said..."

Xu Xilu interrupted him: "My lord just heard from you that your Madam Hou will come to apologize in person afterwards, right?"

"This……"

"When she is coming, remember to tell me in advance, and I will also join in the fun at Xie's Mansion." As he spoke, Xu Xilu turned sideways to make room for him, "I want to search quickly, and get lost when I'm done, so I won't disturb you." I won the elegance of my son and Mr. Xie."

The people in Pingxihou's Mansion looked at each other, and Du Guanshi said "offended" with a dark face, and entered the house.They were scruples about Xie Qingsu's identity, and they didn't dare to search casually. They only saw a few places where people could hide were empty, and retreated.

Watching them walk away, Xu Xilu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xie Qingsu: "I'll go back first too. Please destroy those things for me."

Xie Qingsu nodded and said, "I understand."

The people in Pingxihou's Mansion made a fuss all night, and the whole Qingcheng Mountain knew that Jiang Zhiyuan was missing.In the early morning of the next day, they found him in the untouched woods at the back of the mountain.Jiang Zhiyuan was drenched in the rain all night. When he was found, he had a high fever and was unconscious. He kept chanting words like "ghost", "ghost" and "female ghost".The people in the Pingxi Hou's Mansion didn't dare to delay, they didn't care to look for any more red-clothed women, so they immediately sent them back to the Hou's Mansion.

After the group in the Xu Mansion finished their breakfast, they began to check their luggage and prepare to go back home.Xu Anning also heard about what happened last night, and leaned over to Xu Xilu's side, and said, "Second Brother, why did you suddenly ask me to change a room yesterday?"

Xu Xilu raised his eyebrows, "You didn't ask yesterday, why did you suddenly ask today?"

Xu Anning seemed a little worried, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the ninth son of the Jiang family disappeared strangely last night, and suddenly appeared on the back hill today, as if fascinated by a female ghost. Is there a ghost?"

Xu Xilu lowered his head to fasten the belt on the fox fur for her, stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "I don't know either."

Mrs. Zhang at the side looked at the siblings coldly, trembling all over, "What's going on? Didn't everything be arranged yesterday?"

Zhu Ping seemed very panicked, "I don't know about this servant, I don't know about it. Could it be...is there really a ghost?"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhang scolded, "There are no ghosts in this world! Even if there are ghosts, there are people acting as demons!"

"Ma'am, these are not important." Zhu Ping said worriedly, "The most urgent thing we have to think about is how to explain to Pingxihou's family."

After a few days, the story of Pingxihou Jiuzi's encounter with a ghost in Qingcheng Mountain spread throughout several capital cities, and even entered the palace.Young Master Jiang Jiu did as he did and stayed in Mount Qingcheng for one night.That night, the fox demon who dreamed of him found him, and after a spring breeze with him, he drained his yang energy.Originally, the fox demon wanted to take his life, but Qingcheng Mountain was a sacred place of Buddhism, so it couldn't tolerate ghosts and ghosts, so it threw him out.

All of a sudden, people in the capital, whether they were common people or nobles, were panic-stricken, and the number of people who went to Mount Qingcheng to burn incense and pray for blessings decreased significantly. As a result, the eminent monks of Mount Qingcheng had to perform several religious ceremonies to quell public fear.

After Jiang Zhiyuan was sent back to Pingxihou's Mansion, under the doctor's careful diagnosis and treatment, his fever subsided, but he was still not sober, he kept yelling that there were ghosts, and he couldn't turn off the lights at night, otherwise he would run around in fright.The Marquis of Pingxi Mansion was in a hurry right now, Madam Hou didn't have the time to settle accounts with the Zhang family and the Wei family, but threw all the gifts they sent out.Later, I went to Shen Guogong's mansion and cried for a day.First, Shen Zixian was beaten and his nose was crippled, and Jiang Ziyuan was frightened to death. The Duan family of the Duke's Mansion couldn't sit still. He found his husband and cried, "Zixian and the ninth child of the Jiang family have suffered one after another. It is obvious that someone For our Shen family. Master, you can't just sit idly by."

Shen Xiuming said with a solemn expression: "The younger generation, Xiao Xiao, actually resorted to such low methods to harm the descendants of the Shen family and the Jiang family. It is tolerable, which is unbearable! Madam, don't worry, I will go to the palace to see the Holy Majesty, and I will definitely kill you." Check it out and get to the bottom of it.”

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the mountains of memorials were divided into two piles, one pile was in front of Song Yanche, and the other pile was in front of Song Yanqing.The end of the year is approaching, and there are many state affairs, even if the two brothers go to battle together, they are a bit too busy.Song Yanqing read the memorabilia for a long time, her eyes were dazzled, double images appeared in black and white.He resentfully threw aside a manuscript that had been reviewed, and said, "Brother Huang, it's impossible to continue like this. In my opinion, Brother Huang should reorganize the cabinet as soon as possible."

"Reorganize the cabinet?" Song Yanche said with a smile, "Then tell me, who will be the chief assistant of the cabinet?"

Song Yanqing opened his mouth, and almost blurted out a name, but fortunately he swallowed it in time, "This is a big matter, I dare not speak nonsense."

Song Yanche said gently: "It's too early to reorganize the cabinet now."

Song Yanqing nodded, "It's my brother who was negligent."

"Your Majesty," Liu Jinzhong stepped forward and said, "Concubine Yuan please see me."

"Let her in."

Song Yanqing heard the words and said: "Then the emperor, the ministers will first—"

"No need to avoid it." Song Yanche said kindly, "She probably just came to deliver some things."

Song Yanche guessed right, Xu Qingyang had nothing to do, so he personally made some pastries and sent them over.She bowed to Song Yanche, saw that Song Yanqing was there, and blessed him too.Song Yanqing nodded. This was the first time he had seen the legendary Concubine Xu Yuan. I have to say that he was still somewhat disappointed.In the past few years, he has never seen the emperor's brother dote on anyone. Concubine Xu Yuan is the first one, she is still the daughter of the Xu family, Song Yanqing thought she and Xu Xilu were the younger sisters, but she didn't expect that although Concubine Xu Yuan was beautiful, compared to her elder brother, Still more than 01:30.

Xu Qingyang handed the food box in his hand to Liu Jinzhong, and looked at Song Yanche affectionately. The latter nodded slightly at her, "Go back to Qingxi Palace first, and I will visit you when I am free."

Xu Qingyang showed disappointment, and reluctantly resigned.

Song Yanqing, who witnessed the whole process, only felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Concubine Xu Yuan.After thinking about it again, he realized that Concubine Xu Yuan hadn't said a single word from the time she came in to the time she went out.He couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Huang, can Concubine Xu Yuan not speak?"

Song Yanche smiled softly, "She can talk."

"Then why did she just—"

"But she won't tell."

"En?" Song Yanqing was a little dazed, before he could ask again, Liu Jinzhong walked in again, "Your Majesty, Duke Shen is asking to see you."
