Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 20
"Father, what did you say?" Chu Qingyan bought a candied gourd from the seller and handed it to her father, then remembered that her father seemed to have said something just now, she couldn't help but tilt her head and asked.

It's a pity that at this time, Dad only has candied haws in his eyes, so he doesn't care what she asked, no, Dad still has mother in his eyes, no, Dad has already run to find mother with candied haws.

Chu Qingyan shook her head, and smiled helplessly. She suddenly remembered those people she met on the street just now, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look. Unfortunately, the crowd was bustling, and she would never see that outstanding person again.

Just when Chu Qingyan turned her head and continued walking, the man in black and luxurious clothes was standing under the big tree, looking at her direction coldly, the breeze blew up the corner of the black gauze, and the side of his face was covered with silver. The gloss shimmers faintly in the sun.

"My lord, that little girl is the young miss of the Chu family." A subordinate followed the direction of his master's gaze and immediately reported.

"En." Xiao Xu responded lightly, and he didn't need to be reminded by his subordinates to recognize him. The girl who saved him once in Mao Village but became his marriage partner by accident, was not tall and hadn't reached him yet. The chest is still childish, and when she smiles, two small canine teeth are exposed, and the dimples are shallow.

No wonder Xiao Xu could see it so clearly. Whether it was the rescue in Mao Village, or the unexpected encounter in the Chu family, he had never seen this girl in the daytime. Little girl, he was still a little curious.

But curiosity is curiosity, he is not interested in Chu Qingyan, in his cognition, Chu Qingyan will soon leave his sight, because she will eventually escape from the Chu family and escape from this engagement.

"Master, it seems that the Chu family is monitoring this young lady more and more closely." The subordinate couldn't help being surprised.

Hearing this, Xiao Xu raised his head and looked around. As expected, he saw a few servants hiding in the crowd wearing Chu family's costumes. With this crappy tracking technology, it was okay to deceive Chu Qingyan and the others, but he couldn't escape. his eyes.

"Where is the Huolingman?" Xiao Xu frowned. Logically speaking, the old man Chu would soon pass his birthday, and Chu Qingyan should be secretly preparing to escape, so why would he still have the leisure to go shopping, and there are so many people Following, either the Chu family became suspicious of her, or her plan was exposed.Only Huo Ling knows what's going on!

As soon as the words fell, Huo Ling had already been summoned.

Huo Ling smiled unnaturally at his lord, he thought that just now the lord didn't notice something was wrong, and he could escape the catastrophe, but he didn't know that he was dragged back before he went far.

"My lord—"

"reason."

Before Huo Ling could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Xu's cold and clear words.

Huo Ling rubbed his nose, not daring to hide anything, and laid out the matter in every detail.

After Xiao Xu heard this, his eyes fell on Huo Ling, like a thousand catties of stones, pressing on Huo Ling, making him unable to move.

"Huo Ling, you disobeyed this king's order?" Although it was a question sentence, it carried an affirmative tone.

Huo Ling immediately knelt down, "My lord, this subordinate didn't stop me because of you."

Xiao Xu looked at Huo Ling who was stubbornly kneeling on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and finally said slowly, "This is not an example."

Huo Ling stood up in response, then raised his head and asked cautiously, "My lord, now—"

"I'm afraid it's not a question of whether she wants to escape, but that she has no chance." From what Huo Ling just explained about her confrontation and argument with the members of the Chu family, he has already guessed that Chu Qingyan's decision is to break the boat. The strategy is to put it to death and then reborn. I really can't see that this is a strategy thought up by a ten-year-old girl, which really surprised him a little.

But whether this girl can live safely to the day of her wedding is unpredictable.

A little pity for her floated in Xiao Xu's heart. The Chu family trapped her unjustly and let her into the whirlpool. Because of him, she might fall into a catastrophe in the future.

"You just said that she wanted to find a doctor for her father?" Xiao Xu asked.

"Yes, my lord, I heard that she wanted to cure her father's stupid symptoms, but it has been more than ten years, and in the eyes of my subordinates, this matter is very pending." Huo Ling did not shy away from Chu Qingyan's decision. is not recognized.

"I recommend Miracle Doctor Luo to her when I have the chance, but do it in a subtle way so that she won't notice it."

Now it's a little bit to make up for her.

Hearing this, Huo Ling opened his eyes wide and looked at his prince in disbelief, did he hear correctly?This was the first time he saw the prince caring about a girl, such a young girl!Could it be that the prince was stimulated by something outside the city?Got a pedophile?
Although he didn't want Chu Qingyan to run away from marriage before, it was entirely because he didn't want to embarrass the prince and run away as a bride, but now seeing his master defending Chu Qingyan, Huo Ling felt a little uncomfortable, how could this little girl be worthy of the master he admired !
Compared to Huo Ling's chaotic wind, Xiao Xu had already turned around and left indifferently, completely unaware of the surging seas in his subordinates' hearts.

And Chu Qingyan, under the guidance of passers-by, learned the address of a genius doctor, and immediately took her parents back.

Until it stopped in front of a dilapidated stall.

"Excuse me, are you the Miracle Doctor Zhu who has rejuvenated his hands?" Chu Qingyan asked respectfully despite doubts in her heart.

"Miraculous doctor, call me?" The gray-robed man who turned his back to them and buried his head in not knowing what he was doing immediately raised his head when he heard this, revealing a mischievous face.

Chu Qingyan backed away frightened by his sudden action, then regained her composure, and replied with a smile, "Yes, genius doctor, this junior is calling you."

Seeing Chu Qingyan like this, the man happily stroked the mustache on his lips, and asked narrowly, "Yes, Master Zhu is here. I don't know, little girl, are you divination or fortune-telling?"

"Divination? Fortune-telling?" Chu Qingyan was taken aback, forgiving that the style of painting changed so quickly that she couldn't react immediately. Why did seeking medical advice turn into divination and fortune-telling?
"That's right, divination is a lottery, and fortune-telling is just stretching out your palm, but no matter what kind, this genius doctor will guarantee that the calculation will be exhaustive, little girl, do you want to do it alone, or do you come with your parents?" Hexagram, if your family of three counts, how about I give you a discount, even the price of the two of you? This genius doctor is very close to humanity, and I am a genius doctor with a radius of hundreds of miles. Yes, this genius doctor risked his life to give you fortune-telling." After speaking, the man's impassioned expression made him give him a little bit of god from the candied haws.

"Aren't you a doctor who treats people? How did you start a fortune-telling business?" Chu Qingyan twitched the corners of her mouth. Could it be that the doctor now has a side job, taking care of fortune-telling as well?

"My surname is Zhu, and I'm called a miracle doctor. That's right! Little girl, since I didn't say that I am called a miracle doctor, I must be a miracle doctor!"

Chu Qingyan raised her forehead, it turned out that she met an unreliable charlatan.

"Pig, your nose has two holes, pig, your ears are so big
You can't even hear me calling you stupid—”

At this time, Father Chu's joyful and out-of-key singing came along the wind, and Chu Qingyan looked away silently.
