The servant girl served the tea, Qi Xuan was not restrained, lifted the cup and sipped it slightly between his lips, tasted it, smiled and said to Zhao Ji: "It turned out to be gold inlaid with jade."

Zhao Ji didn't know what the meaning was, "Your Highness likes this tea?"

Qi Xuan rubbed his fingertips on the rim of the cup, neither saying he liked it nor disliking it, but his expression became more secretive.

After he went back last night, after thinking about it, he still felt that her reaction when he saw him was not quite right.

I always feel that there is an indescribable sense of violation.

"I'll find a chance to take a good look at this house later." Qi Xuan looked outside and thought for a while, "She looks like she knew me beforehand, but I have never met her face to face."

Zhao Ji understood: "So His Highness suspects that she has seen..."

There were footsteps outside, Qi Xuan glanced at him calmly, Zhao Ji stopped immediately.

Xu Nian hesitated when she came over, she never thought that they would meet again so soon.

Yesterday he was regarded as Qi Chu, but now, he clearly knows that the one in front of him is King Yu.

Qi Xuan made a sound first, the voice was always clear and easy-going: "I shouldn't disturb you so hastily, but I heard that the girl was assassinated yesterday, and she was frightened."

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel ashamed, paused, and apologized: "This is Shen Jiao's fault. She called her mother and called her aunt, so she should be my younger sister. She is an older brother, and her care is not strict, which made her almost If you hurt someone, you should come to the door in time to make an apology."

Standing here, he is calm and elegant, warm as jade, and he is no different from King Yu in the impression of his previous life.

That's right, this is King Yu, she shouldn't admit her mistake.

The scene he saw last night is now in his mind, and he is not as innocent as he said.

Xu Nian looked away from that face, and lowered his eyes, "This matter has nothing to do with His Highness, His Highness is too polite to say so."

"It's true that I have, so I can't be polite." Qi Xuan asked seemingly unintentionally, "I saw that the girl saw me yesterday as if she was visiting an old friend. It doesn't look like she met me for the first time. I don't know why?"

Xu Nian suddenly raised his eyes, thinking of what he was asking, "It rained heavily yesterday, Your Highness was wrong."

Qi Xuan was noncommittal, raised the cup and shook it, but suddenly looked at Lian Tang at the side, "Your lady also likes this tea?"

Lian Tang was stunned for a moment, wanting to say no.

Xu Nian almost immediately realized what he was probing, and before Liantang opened his mouth, he answered, "It's a new tea from Yueyang. He just arrived at the mansion. His Highness is a distinguished guest. By coincidence, the maids prepared this tea." Tea."

"So Your Highness thinks there is something wrong with it?"

That's what Xu Nian asked, but Xu Nian knew that it was completely prepared according to his preferences, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Before she fully figured out the whole picture of those things in her previous life, she would not startle the snake.

"Very good," Qi Xuan smiled lightly.

So good that someone actually figured out his preferences.

Xu Nian didn't speak, and the atmosphere became silent like this.

Qi Xuan is not a person who has nothing to say. When he saw Zhao Ji's eyes beckoning him, he knew that the purpose of this trip had been reached.

He stood up and bid farewell: "Seeing that the girl is absent-minded today, thinking about it, she is still overly frightened. I brought the imperial doctor from the palace and asked him to show the lady. If there is anything wrong with her body, feel free to ask someone to come to me."

After the pulse was diagnosed and the person left, Xu Nian let out a sigh of relief. At this time, he didn't care about anything else, and asked quickly: "Go and ask, did the person he brought just now come to our house?" What do people ask? What is asked, and how is the answer, I must know.”

Although sister had been on guard for a long time, Xu Nian did not dare to be careless.

And Qi Xuan, who has already left the Xu Mansion, narrowed his eyes slightly after listening to Zhao Ji's report, "Could it be that I was wrong?"

Zhao Ji repeated what he had just said: "The maids in the Duke's mansion said that there is no difference in their mansion."

Qi Xuan suddenly looked back, thoughtfully, "Look for someone to watch, I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that it's not that simple here."

...

Xu Nian never thought that yesterday He Jia said he would give it to the guards, and it was true.

It seems that the person who was sent to the house was also a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a cold face, standing with downcast eyes, not speaking, allowing Xu Nian to look at him.

"He Jia asked you to come?"

"Yes."

"What's your name?"

"sixteen."

Xu Nian asked a few words, feeling that the conversation was so familiar, it reminded her of Qi Chu inexplicably.

As soon as this thought flashed across her mind, she stopped talking.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person, so he casually said: "Since He Jia gave it to me, then you can stay and let Kang Yi arrange errands for you later."

After the fifteenth day, Mrs. Zhao will go to Mount Pituo to worship Buddha.

"Nian Nian, you go with me." Mrs. Zhao put down her chopsticks, "This year has been full of disasters, so I should go to pay my respects."

Xu Nian nodded and said with a smile, "My aunt gave me a peace talisman a few years ago, and I will go pray for one and give it to my aunt."

The day we went out was a rare good weather, not only was it sunny, but the wind was also gentle.

The moment Xu Nian got out of the car, he noticed that Shiliu had also come. He suddenly changed into a different person, and he was still not used to it. "You don't have to follow me. I will go up with my aunt. You just wait here for me."

Sixteen: "Miss He said that in order to ensure your safety, let me follow you every step of the way, Miss. If you have any problems again, she will blame me."

"But I'm your lady now, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Shiliu was also a little dazed, logically speaking, but when the two orders were different, he didn't know who to listen to.

Xu Nian sighed, "Forget it, if she asks you to follow, just follow. When I go back to explain to her, I will return you back then."

"Nian Nian, I have to talk to the host later. There is a field of begonias behind them. If you get bored of waiting, you can go over there and have a look."

Xu Nian replied: "Okay! Auntie will go early and come back early, and Niannian promises not to run around."

Watching the figure of his aunt go in, Xu Nian found Lesser Dao who was going to the back beside him. Sure enough, after turning around the corridor, he found a courtyard full of begonias.

Just as she turned her head to call Lian Tang, the side room suddenly opened, and a hand came out of it, quickly covered Xu Nian's mouth, and brought her into the room.

When Lian Tang reached the place where she was standing, there was no one there.

Xu Nian opened his eyes, his mouth was covered and he pressed against the door, separated from Lian Tang and Shiliu who were looking for her by a wall.

"Miss really likes the new and dislikes the old, so she changed to a new person so soon," Qi Chu asked her inexplicably, listening to the movement outside.

"Is it easy for me to use it?"

Xu Nian went to break his hand, Qi Chu also let go of it obediently, and couldn't help laughing when she saw that her face was turning red from fright.

"How will you be here?"

As soon as the words were finished, Qi Chu's expression changed, he covered her mouth again, and looked towards the roof.

When it suddenly became quiet, Xu Nian heard the slight sound on the tile edge above.

Someone stopped on it!

Xu Nian's throat moved nervously, and he went to pull the door frame, trying to stay away from this dangerous person.

With so many enemies, don't know who came to the door again.

Qi Chu motioned her not to make a sound, and when the sound disappeared, he let go of Xu Nian's hateful gaze.

After being free, Xu Nian tried his best to push him away, wanting him to stay away from him.

Qi Chu stepped back a few steps, and a muffled hum suddenly escaped from his lips.

Xu Nian curled his fingers. He didn't feel how much force he had used. Seeing that his eyes were downcast and his face looked a little painful, he asked Chi Chi, "...what's wrong with you?"

Qi Chu finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "You lied to Miss, Miss has been fooled again."

He walked a few steps closer and laughed at her: "Where did the miss find someone? Isn't it good? So many people passed by him and didn't respond. What's the use of such an idiot."

Xu Nian was afraid of him, especially when he didn't know what he was going to do at this moment. Seeing that he was not restraining himself, he carefully moved aside, "I don't have so many enemies, and I don't encounter so many fatal disasters." , you don’t need to know that much.”

Everyone was afraid to run to the door, Xu Nian's hand had already opened the door a crack, Qi Chu saw it, smiled, but didn't move her, raised his hand and pushed the cracked door frame back up.

"Run what?"

Xu Nian raised his face and looked at him cautiously, "I said last time, if we meet again, we will be strangers."

Reminder of their relationship?

Qi Chu looked at her quietly, "Then get acquainted well today, the lady has seen clearly who I am, so don't admit it wrong again."

Lian Tang and Shiliu couldn't find anyone outside, and they turned back at this time, with footsteps approaching.

Xu Nian wanted to go out, but he couldn't open the door, so he had no choice but to turn around and look at the perpetrator.

He almost gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Chu said: "I want Miss to talk with me."

"What?" She had nothing to say to him.

"A group of nasty guys are stalking me." He raised his eyes, "Miss won't die, will she?"

Xu Nian left in a hurry, and went to pull the door again, "You let me out first, they are coming."

"Don't let me go," Qi Chu said stubbornly, "Miss ran away as soon as I let go, obviously I was obedient, but miss just doesn't want me."

"Everyone who walks in front of me can disappear. Does Miss carry this kind of wood with her as a burden?"

Xu Nian couldn't get angry, "You are amazing, since you are amazing and you are blocked here, you can't escape, and you are not doing well?"

Qi Chu raised his brows when he heard the words, "I'm afraid that the lady is here, and I'm afraid that if there is a big trouble, the lady will be implicated. When did you say that I can't get away?"

"So you can go, you block me here at this time, it's just for fun, right?"

Xu Nian glanced sideways at the door being held down by him, and raised his hand in a crazy despair in the face of a blemish, wanting to knock on the door to make a sound for them to find.

As soon as she made a slight movement, Qi Chu said, "Qi Xuan went to find Miss, but Miss didn't drive him away like this."

There was resentment in his eyes, Xu Nian could see it.

She didn't know what he was thinking about: "But I didn't tell you. Besides, I'm not you. If I can drive him out directly, I won't be blocked by you now. "

The shout was approaching, Qi Chu took one last look at her, and let go of the hand holding the door frame, "Miss and her family had better go back earlier, those annoying guys are still here at this time, if you delay For a long time, I don't know what will happen."

Xu Nianxin reluctantly agreed, the words were so vague that she didn't understand what she was saying.

As soon as the door could be opened, she went out immediately, and bumped into the two people who were looking for her.

Lian Tang was frightened to death, "Miss, you are here, why shouldn't you be a servant."

Shi Qi glanced at her thoughtfully, but didn't say a word. He knew more rules than someone before.

Xu Nian scolded the person silently in his heart, trying to cover up, saying: "I was blocked by a dog, so I can't escape."

Even she herself didn't know what she was talking about.

In the room, Qi Chu sat down by the door, lowered his head and laughed muffledly, thinking that she was out of breath, and managed to find a curse word.

Lian Tang let out a bewildered cry, but was swept away by Xu Nian, and immediately closed her mouth again.

The room behind him was quiet, when Xu Nian was about to leave, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and walked out quickly with a hard heart.

"Miss, are we going to find Mrs. Tang now?" Why are you walking so fast? She can't keep up.

Xu Niantou didn't reply, "There are vicious dogs here, we can't afford to mess with them, we'd better hide."

Lian Tang couldn't figure it out, so she could only quickly follow her. As soon as she reached her side, Xu Nian stopped suddenly.

Looking back again, the tangled and awkward force in her heart disturbed her.

"Miss?" Lian Tang tentatively called.

Xu Nianxin froze and looked at the two of them, "Go ahead and wait for Auntie, I will go there later, there is no need for you to wait here."

When the person left, Xu Nian gritted his teeth bitterly, he really owed him.

What this enemy did was to take advantage of him.

Not only can't kill him, but also be affected by his few words.

Excessive!

Xu Nian turned back and pushed open the door.

Qi Chu sat against the door, startled by the sound, and looked up.

The light came in from the outside, Xu Nian stood at the door, his whole body was under the warm light, but at this moment, he was hidden in the shadow with his back against the light, the boundary line between light and shadow on the ground seemed to separate them two worlds.

A look of astonishment flashed across Qi Chu's face, he forgot to speak for a while, and looked up at her quietly.

Xu Nian walked in front of him and said in an unclear tone, "Stretch out your hand."

Qi Chu's eyes fell on her slightly serious face, and after thinking for a while, he stretched out the hand that was pressing the door just now in front of her.

Xu Nian ignored him, met his gaze, and repeated, "The other one."

Qi Chu didn't move, just looked at her silently, without blinking.

A pair of black pupils were deep and quiet, like a secluded pool, reflecting her figure.

He didn't move, so Xu Nian had to squat down first, opened his hand that automatically came to the door, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull his other wrist.

After touching it, she felt startled, her hand was wet, as if soaked in water, Xu Nian raised her hand to see what kind of water, it was obviously blood, so much blood that it could even stain her hands red.

Qi Chu didn't hide, but called her suddenly; "Miss."

Xu Nian raised her eyes, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Qi Chu didn't smile this time, his eyes lingered on her face, and asked, "Miss, are you caring about me?"
