Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 13
Shui Ling glanced at his master's dark complexion, nodded, wanted to open his mouth but paused, thinking about how to speak so that his master would no longer be angry, but at this time Huo Ling spoke first, his tone full of anger.

"This Chu family doesn't care much about our lord. It's just a small family in decline. How dare they disobey the imperial decree and openly disrespect the lord. My lord, let Huo Ling take someone to show them some color." Let's see if he dares to insult you like this!" Huo Ling bowed to his lord, picked up the guy, and was about to go out.

"Stop." Xiao Xu said, with an unquestionable order in his tone.

Huo Ling was not reconciled, but his body settled down obediently. He looked at his lord angrily, and said with some injustice, "Your lord!"

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Xu glanced at him, picked up the teacup on the table, the gloomy look on his face had slowly faded away in the dense tea atmosphere.

"I—" Huo Ling was stunned by his master's casual words.

Xiao Xu took a sip of tea before turning his eyes to the subordinate in front of him, and said in a calm tone, "Could it be that you want to wash the Chu family with blood? And then the whole city started talking about the King Ying's murderous, brutal and cruel? If you really If you want to do this, I don't care."

Huo Ling was stunned, and then realized in Shui Ling's white eyes, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "My lord, this subordinate didn't think carefully, and almost brought you into trouble, this subordinate please be punished!"

Although Shui Ling didn't agree with Huo Ling's actions just now, but at this moment she stepped forward to intercede, "My lord, although Huo Ling is a little impulsive, he is also loyal, please don't get angry."

Xiao Xu waved his hand, "Get up."

Huo Ling and Shui Ling glanced at each other before getting up from the ground. The prince was a little annoyed just now, but now he looked like a normal person again, which made them two confidantes who had been with the prince since childhood a little confused.

"My lord, are we just going to be bullied by this little Chu family in such a useless manner?" Although Huo Ling was acting out of his own temper just now, but whoever put this matter on will calm down his anger, Shui Ling is also in a state of confusion at this moment. Wohuo, His Majesty usually doesn't like the fact that the prince appointed this marriage, but it's okay, but he doesn't want the Chu family to dare to make trouble, and secretly put the master together, Shui Ling couldn't help but said.

Xiao Xu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a touch of sarcasm, "The imperial decree only granted marriage to the Chu family, but did not name any young lady. Even if it comes to the father, the Chu family will also take advantage of it."

Huo Ling clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said unfairly, "My lord, it's a shame for the dumb, should we just forget about it?"

Dumb?Xiao Xu frowned, and then turned his gaze to the darkening sky, his black and glazed eyes became darker, he spoke slowly, in a soft tone, "Don't forget the previous few times, can this girl from the Chu family live to that day?" One day is still an unknown, but it seems that the Chu family can be considered as a choice, otherwise they will still be thinking about my concubine position. It doesn't matter who you choose, and it doesn't make any difference to this king."

This simple sentence made Shui Ling Huo Ling's eyes turn red at the same time, and he turned his eyes away for a moment, Shui Ling bit his lip but was so angry that he couldn't speak. They all have seen how hard the prince has lived in the past few years. , I sincerely feel that my prince is not worth it.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and no one spoke.

Shui Ling glanced at the contemplative master, and moved his eyeballs, "My lord, why don't we go visit the Chu family to see the little lady, I heard that she is resting outside, and she just brought her back to the Chu family in the past few days."

"What's so interesting about a ten-year-old kid?" Huo Ling couldn't help muttering.

Shui Ling waited for him, "Don't talk nonsense, you will be our princess in the future, besides, you are only a few years old!"

"How old is too old, I can protect the master, what can she do? Will the master need to coax her, a little doll!" Huo Ling was a little disdainful, and turned his anger on what the Chu family did to Chu Qing face.

Shui Ling shook her head, then turned to her prince and said, "Although she is a ten-year-old girl, let's go and have a look, we have an idea in our hearts."

Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows. Ten years old, he couldn't help but think of the little girl named Caicai he met some time ago, and wondered if she would live a good life after receiving those bank notes?When the thought came together, he quickly let it go, she saved him, and he gave her the most needed silver taels, and the two were settled. The last thing Xiao Xu wanted to owe was favors.

"It's okay, just take a walk!" I wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, Xiao Xu nodded and stood up.

Huo Ling twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard that, how are you all right, my lord?The empress should wait in the palace!But seeing that the prince had no intention of entering the palace at all, Huo Ling couldn't help but shut his mouth and quickly followed.

Shui Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and finally persuaded the prince to go out and walk around. After changing into a black suit, he ordered a few people to take it with him, and followed the two people in front.

Then a group of black clothes disappeared into the night.

The old house of the Chu family.

After taking advantage of Camellia's falling asleep, Chu Qingyan walked out of the room lightly, avoiding the eyeliner placed nearby by Aunt Ertang, and carefully walked to her parents' room according to the route she had stepped on in the past few days.

Two short and one long knocks on the door lightly, this was the secret signal she had agreed with her mother.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside, Mother Chu poked her head out, brought her daughter into the room in surprise, and looked her up and down, "Caicai, they haven't come here for the past few days, have they ever been embarrassed?" you?"

Chu Qingyan stepped into the room and immediately closed the door. Hearing her mother's words, she smiled and shook her head, "It's not a problem, it's just that I'm not allowed to go out and walk around, and I didn't skip food and drink."

"That's good, that's good!" Mother Chu heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, Father Chu, who was playing alone, saw his daughter coming, and immediately jumped forward, happily holding the little daughter's hand and circling in circles, "Caicai, Caicai, you are here!"

As soon as she saw her parents, Cai Cai was in a particularly happy mood. She took her father's hand lightly, squinted her eyes and said, "Daddy, my daughter is here."

Seeing this, Chu's mother couldn't help but smile, "Caicai, you don't know, your father has been arguing to see you every day these days, and I persuaded him because of my mother's good words, otherwise he would run to you in a hurry."

Chu Qingyan looked at the foolish father and was moved heartily, but shook her head again, "My daughter also ran out to meet father and mother secretly this time, before we escape from Chu's house, it's better not to meet in public, otherwise It will attract the attention of the Chu family."

"Then Caicai sneaked out tonight, but what method did she think of?" Chu's mother's eyes lit up immediately.

Chu Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were full of cunning, "Of course."

The room was full of joy, but they didn't notice the strangeness that flashed in the pair of black and glazed eyes outside the room.
