Xiao Chenyan never expected that Qing Wu wanted to be the assassin herself.
And the method of "assassination" was so tricky and so self-sacrificing.
It can be said that he is going to die together with him.
He was in a mixed mood and his steps were heavy. He didn't know if he had gone too far with her last night and stimulated her like this.
His Royal Highness Prince Yan rarely felt guilty.
Seeing his solemn face, Qing Wu thought this man was really good at acting! During the day, he was like a cold and pure king of hell, and at night, he was a wild wolf king who could not be fed and would eat ghosts without spitting out bones.
"Your Highness the King of Disgust."
"General Huo."
The only two men present greeted each other and looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Huo Yi came here to talk about business today, but after seeing Qing Wu, he became a little worried.
Things didn't seem peaceful in Prince Yan's mansion either.
Princess Yan's current situation seems to be a bit overwhelmed.
Qing Wu didn't think she was crazy, and asked seriously, "Did General Huo come back last night? The bandit suppression should have gone smoothly, so maybe something happened on the way back?"
Huo Yi calmed down, tried not to look at Qing Wu's face, and said seriously: "The bandit suppression went smoothly. In fact, Huo's trip was in vain."
He also wanted to talk about the hermit master who slaughtered the bandits of the Evil Wolf Village overnight.
Suddenly he caught something and looked at Xiao Chenyan's face. Only then did he realize that there was a mole on Xiao Chenyan's face.
Thinking of what the county magistrate's daughter said, that the hermit also had a pink mole at the corner of his eye, Huo Yi fell silent.
Thinking that Xiao Chenyan should be in Nanling at this moment, but he had returned to the palace early, Huo Yi suddenly understood...
He and Xiao Chenyan looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Without mentioning the incident of suppressing bandits in Huang County, Huo Yi talked about what happened last night.
Hearing that Xie Shuye encountered an "assassination attempt", Qing Wu and Xiao Chenyan both frowned. Xiao Chenyan glanced at Qing Wu and saw that her earthworm brows were wrinkled into a thin line.
I feel a little jealous, but I don't feel sour at all, and I even feel like laughing.
Huo Yi didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the couple, and frowned and said, "That man is elusive and disappears at any time. We were too far away at the time, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly. Besides, he was wearing a mask..."
"Mask?" Xiao Chenyan's eyes flashed coldly: "But is it a Nuo mask?"
Nuo masks are masks used in witchcraft rituals. They look like ghosts or gods, and most have green faces and fangs, looking ferocious.
Huo Yi did not recognize Nuomian, but after listening to Xiao Chenyan's description, he was certain: "It should be Nuomian. Has King Yan seen this person?"
"We've fought."
Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu looked at each other.
The man with the Nuo mask, isn’t he the mysterious man beside the old emperor?
Xiao Chenyan almost fell into the hands of the other party not long ago.
"Why would this person attack Xie Shu?"
Huo Yi and Xiao Chenyan were puzzled by this question, but Qing Wu had a guess.
In all likelihood, it was because of Xie Shu's intelligent heart.
As she thought about it, she glanced at Xiao Chenyan and was caught by his gaze. Qing Wu asked tentatively, "How about going to see your cousin?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at her playfully.
At this time, he mentioned that Xie Shu was his cousin.
Why don't you just call him "Xie Xiaoshao"?
Xiao Chenyan knew her little thoughts and guessed that she was also worried about Xie Shu's safety. Whenever he saw her treating Xie Shu "specially" in the past, ripples would arise in his heart.
At that time, he was not aware that he had fallen in love with her.
I also often feel that her "specialness" towards Xie Shu is a little baffling.
Now he understood that it was at that time that he began to fall for her, and her "specialness" towards Xie Shu was also reasonable.
She is a little kid.
She has liked Xie Shu since she was a child, especially Xie Shu's face.
Seeing her stealing glances at him, Xiao Chenyan felt a sense of depression for no reason. Seeing that his expression did not change, he just said lightly, "Then go ahead."
Qing Wu immediately smiled, "Okay~ Then I'll have someone prepare~ Let's bring some greeting gifts or something, let me think, there are still a lot of Ganoderma lucidum that Xiao Shanling sent last time~"
Xiao Chenyan watched her run away happily, his thin lips tightly pursed.
Seeing this, Mu Ying sighed inwardly, thinking of how his cousin had always coveted the face of Young Master Xie when she was a child, and his mood was a little complicated for a moment.
However, Mu Ying did not think that his cousin liked Xie Shu more. Although Awu could not take her eyes off Xie Shu when she was a child and always loved to stare at his face, she had never mentioned Xie Shu in private.
The people she talked about most every day were her bad brother Yan Tai and her bastard brother Yun Zheng.
Who is your favorite at first sight and who is truly cherished in your heart is not determined by the moment, but by the long term.
Thinking of this, Mu Ying couldn't help but think of how Xiao Chenyan had teased his little cousin when he was a teenager. Regardless of her perspective then or now...
When he was young, Xiao Chenyan really deserved a beating.
He always likes to make Xiao Qingwu cry, and then try to please her. What a nasty girl!
Thinking of this, Mu Ying glared at Xiao Chenyan and stopped speaking up for him.
The elbow is not bent outward. Besides, who asked him to take advantage of his cousin's young age to bully her? Now he has to suffer on his own.
"I'll go help my sister, the princess, choose a greeting gift." Mu Ying said, and then left.
Huo Yi had been secretly paying attention to Mu Ying, so he naturally noticed the look Mu Ying gave Xiao Chenyan.
He was a little puzzled, and although he was confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
Huo Hongying, on the other hand, hesitated and said, "Is it really okay for Princess Sister to go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion like this?"
She looked at Xiao Chenyan and said, "What inspired her to dress this way today?"
Xiao Chenyan was silent for a moment, and then he tried to defend his little ghost girl: "It's not her fault that the boudoir was so unhappy. It's my fault."
Nowadays, if a couple has a good relationship, the husband will draw eyebrows and put on makeup for his wife.
Huo Hongying thought of Qing Wu's childish makeup and thought that the makeup certainly didn't look like something that could be done by a woman's hands.
It's normal that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, who is good at playing with guns, was so clumsy that he messed up his own wife like that.
As for the princess... How much love must she have to have to be willing to go out in public with that kind of makeup on?
Huo Hongying said with deep feeling: "The prince and the princess are really in love, but your taste... is really not up to par."
Xiao Chenyan was silent.
The Huo brothers and sisters understood that as a tacit agreement.
Huo Yi seemed to understand why Mu Ying glared at Xiao Chenyan. He patted Xiao Chenyan on the shoulder:
"Don't draw it next time. It will be detrimental to the princess if others see it."
There was a hint of condemnation in Huo Yi's eyes.
He was not as "stupid" as his sister, thinking that Xiao Chenyan was only good at wielding a gun. As the former eldest grandson of the emperor, Xiao Chenyan's writing and painting were also excellent.
In this case, there is only one explanation.
He was the one who deliberately played a trick on his princess.
This conclusion really left General Huo speechless. How could a real man play tricks on his wife like this?
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
It just gives me a headache.
