The old emperor's words made all the ministers gasp.
The leader of the Southern Yamen, who was in charge of the security of the capital, gnashed his teeth and glared secretly.
Shen Yanjin: "I obey your order."
Seeing that he responded to the order, the old emperor waved his hand, signaling him to leave, and then turned his gaze to someone else.
"My dear Xun, do you have any news about the Imperial Master?"
Xun Jian stood up, stepped forward and bowed: "No."
The old emperor's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. His voice was heavy with menace, "Find the Imperial Master as soon as possible. The once-in-a-decade prayer for rain must not fail."
Xun Jian: "I obey your order!"
…
Xiao Xu was being searched everywhere by the old emperor. At this moment, he was lying on a few pieces of waste paper, holding his chin with one hand and drawing talismans with the other.
There was ink on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't notice it.
It was just a little itchy, so I raised my arm and wiped it, leaving a glorious black mark on the corner of my mouth.
Someone had no idea and blew on the painting after finishing it, then put it aside to dry.
“Knock knock…”
Xiao Xu's last stroke fell to the ground. She frowned and got up, went to the door and opened it. What she saw was a face that infuriated both humans and gods.
She was startled and slammed the door shut again as if she had thought of something.
Looking at the talisman papers all over the floor and the messy room, she choked and opened the door again, then rushed out quickly and closed the door again.
The movements are done in one go.
Leaning against the door, Xiao looked up and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The other person glanced at her, his eyes fell on the black mark that covered half of her cheek, and a hint of unclear complexity flashed across his deep eyes.
"Lunch."
Uh huh?
Then?
Ana Shen looked at her silently, the gloom between his brows gradually deepening.
"oh…"
Under pressure, Xiao Xu didn't care what he meant and agreed directly.
After getting on the carriage and leaving Qingxiu Mansion, I realized belatedly: it turned out that we were going to Tianxia Diyi Lou for lunch. Why has this animal been becoming more and more abnormal recently?
As he grew older, he seldom ate out and seldom attended banquets.
He would not leave the palace at will unless invited by the emperor or some ministers.
Most of the time he just gave Chen Wang instructions when doing things, so now Xiao Xu could only see Chen Wang every few days.
Qiu Xiaoan is even busier. Since the previous manager left, he took over the position of manager of Qingxiu Mansion. He is like an old nanny, taking care of everything, including account books and daily sales, and is busy all day long.
After getting off the carriage, Xiao Xu followed Shen Yanjin and walked in slowly.
The waiter rushed forward to serve, and the scene was in chaos for several times. Due to Chen Yanjin's high official position and the fact that he was a favorite of the emperor, there were many second-generation officials who were drooling over him, but when it came to chatting him up... not a single one.
Between life and beauty, life is naturally more important.
But some people who are blinded by lust choose to walk into danger.
Xiao Xu ordered a few dishes as usual, then sat down and started to daydream.
The black mark on her face had not been wiped off yet, and she looked silly.
And someone who was evil to the core didn't even give any warning, but just looked at the black mark occasionally with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Xu finished his meal with a grunt, and when Shen Yanjin lowered his head to eat, he burped quickly.
He leaned lazily against the wall, watching Ana Shen eat.
God knows what's wrong with her. After eating, she has to look at that beast instead of anyone else.
Ana Shen stopped eating, took out a piece of Supa from his pocket and handed it forward.
Xiao murmured: "Huh?"
When I reached out to take it, the other person's fingers seemed to scratch my fingertips lightly.
