Chapter 35 Mask
Li Xunchuan hid the man in a cloak and brought him into the Governor's Mansion.

When he was close to Chou, Li Xunchuan retreated from the attendant, he carried his things into the room, saw Zhuo Ran staring at the candle in a daze, and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Zhuo Ran's complexion turned pale, she looked at Li Yanchuan, without her usual appearance, which made Li Yanchuan feel a little fake.

Li Xunchuan pulled her arm over, opened the outer shirt, the sleeves were gauze, Li Xunchuan didn't know where the anger came from, so he tore it open, exposing Zhuo Ran's entire arm.

Zhuo Ran didn't seem to feel any pain, she just looked at Li Yuchuan and didn't speak.

Being stared at by her, Li Xunchuan became more and more irritable. He wiped the blood on Zhuo Ran's arm and said, "Aren't you with Yan Chengxuan? How could you get hurt?"

Zhuo Ran lowered her head and said, "How do you know I'm with Yan Chengxuan?"

Li Xunchuan carefully looked at her arm, the injury was not serious, he took the medicine and looked at Zhuo Ran, and motioned to sprinkle it on, afraid that she would hurt, but Zhuo Ran tilted his head and said with a smile: "The governor wants me to Come by yourself? If I look like this, I will die of pain."

Li Xunchuan stared at her, no matter how Zhuo Ran tried to hide, he sprinkled the medicine on it completely, and wrapped it in several layers of gauze before putting it down.

Zhuo Ran gasped in pain, and she said, "The governor is ruthless."

Li Xunchuan couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed Zhuo Ran's front, looked her in the eyes, and said, "You are with Yan Chengxuan, why do you still come to my place?"

Zhuo Ran looked at him indifferently and said, "I am willing."

"You!" Li Yanchuan was out of breath, pulled his hand hard, and heard the sound of the cloth tearing, Zhuo Ran felt a chill on his shoulder, looked down, the clothes had been torn by Li Yanchuan, and the whole right shoulder was exposed.

What the hell is this made of?
Li Xunchuan quickly let go of his hand.

Zhuo Ran covered her shoulders with the torn clothes, sighed, and said, "Governor, can I take a bath?"

Li Xunchuan pointed behind her, there was a small cubicle in Li Xunchuan's room, which was specially used for bathing, Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "Then I'll go."

Zhuo Ran stood up, her mind was full of what Liao Ze said just now, she seemed to have really seen her father's face, bloody and terrifying, her feet were so weak that she almost fell to the ground, Li Yanchuan endured it for a while, then got up Pick up the person and walk to the cubicle.

Zhuo Ran was dizzy, subconsciously put her arms around Li Yuchuan's neck, and said, "What is the Governor doing?"

Li Xunchuan put the person down, raised his hand and hooked Zhuo Ran's belt off, Hualou's clothes always have this effect, too silky.Zhuo Ran didn't understand why Li Xunchuan did this, she watched Li Xunchuan take off her clothes, motionless like an idiot.

Li Xunchuan turned the man around and said, "Go in."

Zhuo Ran didn't move, she turned her back to Li Yuchuan and said, "Aren't you going out?"

Li Xunchuan said with a smirk, "What are you doing out there? It's so rare to see a beauty taking a bath."

Zhuo Ran heard that she entered the bathtub, the heat was steaming, and her cold body gradually warmed up. Zhuo Ran leaned against the wall of the tub, put her injured arm on it, looked up at Li Yuchuan, and said, "You tear my clothes off. Now, what should I wear?"

Li Xunchuan picked up the clothes on the ground with his feet, and said, "You can also like this material?"

Zhuo Ran was very comfortable being wrapped in hot water. She took a deep breath and said, "I have no money. This dress was given by Qingxiang. Who knew it would be so ridiculous."

Zhuo Ran flicked the water gently, Li Yanchuan saw the white snow in the water looming, he curled his fingers slightly.

"What was the governor doing there just now, did you wait for me?" Zhuo Ran said.

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "Second Master said he would wait for you, this etiquette must be enough."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "I never thought the governor would be polite."

Li Xunchuan stretched his legs and hooked the chair and sat down. He pinched Zhuo Ran's injured arm and said, "When I was young, I hated red tape the most. What my master taught me is always to go in the left ear and out the right ear, because I think etiquette is important to me. Said it was useless at all, and my sister often helped me on the sidelines, but Master found out and punished my sister, and since then I have never dared to underestimate etiquette."

Zhuo Ran thought of her brother.

"The governor's sister, she should be beautiful." Zhuo Ran said.

Li Xunchuan thought about Ajie's appearance in his mind, and he said, "Ajie is like a golden lumei on the grassland, I want to see her."

Zhuo Ran lowered her head, Li Yanchuan pinched her arm, she couldn't move, she could only sigh silently.

Seeing this, Li Xunchuan bent down, brought his face closer, and said softly, "What did you and Yan Chengxuan..."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes to meet his, she pursed her lips and smiled, and moved closer, her eyes were moist, making her look even more attractive.Zhuo Ran raised her other hand and touched Li Xunchuan's chest with her fingertips. She panted slightly and said, "I did it..."

Li Xunchuan pinched her chin with one hand, covered her arm with the other and sweated, and said, "Zhuo Xiaqiu, you're good at tricks."

"It's ridiculous." Zhuo Ran smiled, raised his hand and let go of Li Yanchuan, and said, "I've finished washing, I can go out."

Li Xunchuan straightened up and said, "There is someone on duty at night, if you want to run out naked, go ahead."

Zhuo Ran smacked her lips, and she patted the water, trying to wet Li Xunchuan's clothes.Li Xunchuan tore off his clothes from the hanger, wrapped Zhuo Ran into a rice dumpling, and carried him to his couch.

Li Xunchuan pinched Zhuo Ran's waist through his clothes, and said, "There's a lot of meat here."

Zhuo Ran stared at him and said, "Don't pinch if you think there is too much meat."

Li Xunchuan let go of his hands, pressed Zhuo Ran's back under him, stared at her, and said, "Did you go to prison?"

Zhuo Ran kicked her legs, Li Yanchuan held her back and said, "Answer."

Zhuo Ran was a little sleepy, she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, Li Yuchuan pinched her waist and said, "Zhuo Xiaqiu!"

"Yes. I'm going." Zhuo Ran didn't open her eyes, she let Li Yanchuan pinch her and said, "I want to sleep."

Li Xunchuan pushed the person inside, and lay down outside in his clothes.

Knowing that she was not asleep, Li Xunchuan extinguished the candle, and said, "Zhuo Xiaqiu, you are overplaying."

The person inside turned over, Li Yuchuan pinched her hand, Zhuo Ran turned back again.

Gu Zhao held a steamed bun and handed it to Xiyu, saying, "Did you hear anything last night?"

Xiyu opened his mouth, looking like he was still awake, Wu Song took the buns and put them into Xiyu's mouth, saying: "Brother Yu didn't sleep last night, he wasn't in the house."

Gu Zhao frowned and said, "Where have you been?"

Xiyu fell asleep chewing the steamed buns, he said: "The master asked me to watch Yan Chengxuan's roof, and I didn't see anything strange."

Wu Song raised his eyebrows and said: "Last night, I saw the master brought a girl into the mansion."

Gu Zhao stared at Wu Song and said, "You are talking nonsense, when did the master do this?"

"That's right, I saw it!" Wu Song said: "Last night, the master came back when he was almost ugly. I saw a girl hiding in his cloak. The tail of her skirt was so long that she never came back after entering the master's room." never came out."

Gu Zhao looked surprised, and said: "Xiyu, the master won't really bring the woman from Hualou back, let the master and the eldest son know about this, so you must not peel the master's skin!"

Xiyu frowned, and said, "Master is not young anymore, it's normal to have such thoughts and behaviors, why panic, the worst is to let the master redeem the girl's body, isn't it all done?"

Gu Zhao thought it was reasonable and nodded.

"Songzi, have you seen the girl's appearance?" Gu Zhao said, "It's better to be more beautiful, otherwise you won't be worthy of our master."

Wu Song said: "The master hid it well, I only saw a skirt tail, but it should be a beauty."

Xi Yu echoed, saying: "You should trust Master's vision, don't worry."

Gu Zhao looked at the sky outside and said, "It's already this time, and the master hasn't gotten up yet. Sure enough, a beauty is a disaster."

"Would you like to call me?" Xi Yu said.

"Farewell." Gu Zhao shook his head and said, "If the master gets angry, all of us will be hung from the eaves."

Having said that, Li Yuchuan opened the door.

"Master...Master." Wu Song jumped up from the bench, looked at Li Xunchuan, and said, "Master is awake."

Li Xunchuan said "Yes", and Gu Zhao stepped forward and said, "Master, wash up, we have to go to court early later."

Li Xunchuan sighed, and said, "Let her eat something first, you and Xiyu will follow me."

The two followed Li Yanchuan, looking back from time to time, only to see a Zhuo Ran wearing very ill-fitting clothes coming out of Li Yanchuan's room.

"Siye?!"

Gu Zhao and Xi Yu looked at each other and smiled.

Wu Song paused, Zhuo Ran was wearing Li Yunchuan's clothes and dragged to the ground, Wu Song stared blankly at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Lord Si Ye, come with me."

***
Zhuo Ran changed her clothes and returned to Zuixue Court.

Zhou Yu was released early in the morning, and Han Congzhong boiled medicine for him. Seeing Zhuo Ran come back, he immediately went up to meet him.

"Ran'er?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuo Ran nervously, and said, "Are you okay, are you injured?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head and said, "No. I heard that Uncle Zhou was taken away by Liao Ze, so I was very anxious."

Han Congzhong fanned the medicine stove and said, "Xiaqiu, where did you go last night?"

Zhuo Ran thought for a while and said, "I originally wanted to go to the prison to see Uncle Zhou, but there were too many people in the prison, so I just stayed in the Imperial Prison overnight."

Han Congzhong nodded.

Zhuo Ran had some doubts, she said: "Master, Uncle Zhou, what happened?"

Zhou Yu's wound had been bandaged, Zhuo Ran supported him to sit down, and said, "Liao Ze is dead."

Zhuo Ran gave a sudden pause, she was surprised and said, "What happened?"

"Last night all the guards were drunk and poisoned to death, and Liao Ze was killed." Zhou Yu said, "I saw it. Ten fingers were severed and all limbs were removed."

Zhuo Ran didn't speak.

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Scared? It's okay, anyway, Liao Ze is not a good person, this is also retribution. Dali Temple took people to investigate this morning, but nothing was found, and Chu Shiyu was originally It's not a loss if Liao Ze dies."

Han Congzhong looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Xiaqiu..."

Zhuo Ran came back to her senses, she looked at Han Congzhong and said, "Master."

Han Congzhong said: "Come here, help master fill the medicine."

Zhuo Ran walked over and helped to bring the medicine to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu took the medicine and said, "It's all right now, stay here today, Uncle Zhou will cook something delicious for you."

Zhuo Ran nodded.
