Chapter 452 The True Face of the County King
Cui Pu's mouth twitched. "How old is the lady? How did she get this disease?"

"You think too much." Mu Jiaojiao said, "The so-called lovesickness is nothing more than one person's extreme longing for the other. This object can be a person or a thing. The relationship between two people can also be family affection, or love. Or love, friendship, there is no problem. It is not the things between men and women that you are thinking about that are called lovesickness."

Three black lines fell from Cui Pu's forehead.But immediately he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's fine if it's not, then I'm relieved! But...she's fine, why did she get this disease?"

"Don't you know this well?" Mu Jiaojiao sneered at him.

Cui Pu was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head.

Well, he did know.It's just that he has been avoiding this question, unwilling to take the initiative to face it.

But now, he seemed unable to avoid it.

"The eldest lady and Father have not met a few times, but the relationship is so good suddenly, and even compared him, he must feel a little uncomfortable. Moreover, it should be the time when Father and the eldest lady met Did he do something to irritate him? He also irritated the eldest lady, so both of them were angry, so they ignored each other. However, both of them should feel uncomfortable, and now they are torturing each other, Torturing myself too! Going on like this is not an option, the best solution is to let the two of them get back together." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Does it really have to be like this?" Cui Pu was still reluctant.

"Are you willing to watch your precious daughter be so unhappy every day?" Mu Jiaojiao just asked.

Of course he was reluctant.Cui Pu lowered his head.

In the evening, when he came to his daughter's room again, Cui Pu saw the eldest lady lying on the window sill again, looking at the stars in the sky stupidly.The kid wouldn't have spent so much time looking at the stars before.In her words, "I'm too busy to play with these boring things!".But now, she was getting bored.

When he came to his daughter, he asked softly, "What are you looking at?"

Only then did the eldest lady slowly come back to her senses.Lifting her eyelids lazily, she replied slowly: "I didn't see anything."

This is definitely not his daughter's style of painting!Before, whenever he asked her something, she would always chatter a lot.Not only will she describe to you what she sees in front of her, but she will also tell you all the fun pictures she saw yesterday and before, and even add her imagination. Head dizzy.

But now, the kid just sent him away as long as he was dead or alive.Does this mean that she has been tortured to depression by this lovesickness?

Seeing his daughter's gloomy little face, Cui Pu felt very distressed.

"Are you thinking of Prince Hejian?"

The eldest lady immediately put on a stern face.

"No!" The answer is so fast and decisive, but why does it always give people a feeling of trying to cover up?

"Actually, you don't mind him. Although father doesn't like him, he has treated you well these years. Didn't father ever object to your association?" Cui Pu said cautiously.

"Say no more! I don't miss him, and I don't like him either. Anyway, he doesn't like me either! He didn't like me in the first place!" The eldest lady said loudly, her little mouth puffed up like a Fugu was average.Isn't it like the way he looked every time he was angry with Mu Jiaojiao?

Cui Pu wouldn't believe it if she said that she didn't have the Prince of Hejian in her heart.

Hey, in the past few years, King Hejian has already entered her heart.Moreover, it is obvious that the roots have been deeply rooted and cannot be pulled out.

Cui Pu thought sadly.

At this time, the eldest lady had already stood up and fell headfirst on the bed. "Daddy, I'm going to sleep."

Was it because he mentioned the name she wanted to hear but didn't want to hear?
Cui Pu sat down on the edge of the bed again: "Next month will be your eighth birthday. Your mother and I plan to hold a few banquets, and invite your Grandpa Guo and Grandpa Chang to accompany you. What do you think? "

"Everything is arranged by my father and mother." There was not much joy in the eldest lady's voice.

"Don't you have anyone you want to invite? Tell me, Dad will invite you!"

"I want to see my cousin from the Wang family." The eldest lady said casually.

"Your Wang family's cousin's family will definitely come. Who else? For example, not our relatives?" Cui Pu coaxed his daughter in a low voice, and almost said the name of Hejian County King.

But the eldest lady immediately turned her face inward. "Then there will be none!"

"Okay!" Seeing that his daughter didn't intend to communicate with him any further, Cui Pu didn't want to push her too hard, so he could only pull the quilt to cover her daughter, "Go to sleep! What's next? Father and mother will arrange it for you. You don't have to worry about it!"

The eldest lady turned her head a little sullenly. "It's hard work, father and mother."

But this girl still has a bit of conscience and knows how to appreciate their efforts.

Cui Pu felt better now, so he touched his daughter's little head, and then went out lightly.

After returning to Mu Jiaojiao's side, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this matter is imperative."

However, as long as he thinks of pushing his daughter to the King Hejian, Cui Pu's heart still hurts unbearably.

Seeing that he looked like he was dying, Mu Jiaojiao said: "Otherwise, I'll go!" "No!" Cui Pu shook his head quickly, "You can't go! I'll go!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Cui Pu nodded firmly.

Isn't it just dealing with that monstrous old man, what's so scary?Anyway, I haven't won every time I confront him, so it doesn't matter if I fail again this time, at worst, it's just another addition to my defeat.

Really nothing!
He told himself so in his heart.

Then, he found a free time and went to the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County.

In the past few years, the mansions of the two sides have been quite frequent, and the concierge of the county prince's mansion has known him for a long time.So now Cui Pu came over and handed in the post, and Liang Changshi came out after a while.

"Cui prefect, please." This person still had a cold expression, but at least he was not made to stand at the door, which is a good sign!
After entering the Prince's Mansion, Cui Pu wanted to ask Liang Changshi about the current situation of the Prince of Hejian, but Liang Changshi was as deaf and dumb, no matter what he asked, he would not say a word.Helpless, he had to give up.

The two of them walked silently all the way to the door of Hejian Junwang's piano room.Listening to the tinkling sound of the piano coming from inside, the breath of resentment fills the world only through the conduction of the music, making people involuntarily get goosebumps all over their bodies.

Cui Pu listened to it carefully, and found that it was a song "Longmen Complaint".

As for?He couldn't help shivering.

An old man, at this age, still plays this kind of music like a jerk.Even his eldest wife didn't have any grudges to this extent!
I don't know what's going on with the eldest lady, why do you like this old man so much?Is it because of his good-looking face?Let her listen to these things later, and see if she still likes him!

Liang Changshi should be used to listening, so his face is still cold.Xinbu stepped forward and opened the door: "The king of the county is inside."

"Thank you." Cui Pu quickly rubbed his arms, and after finally regaining his energy, he went into the piano room.

As soon as he walked in, he couldn't help letting out a scream——

"My lady, help me, there is a ghost!"

The cry broke through the roof and spread around, but Liang Changshi who was guarding the door remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything.Not to mention the other people in the palace, everyone should still do what they are supposed to do, no matter what noise they make in the Prince's Wing Room, they will not have even the slightest curiosity.Because... just thinking about those little friends who disappeared one after another before, they dare not arouse curiosity at all.

In the piano room at this time, King Hejian finished a piece of music slowly, then slowly raised his head and smiled at him: "You are here."

"Please, don't laugh! Your face just now is scary enough, but now you smile even scarier, I can't stand it!" Cui Pu whispered, clutching his chest.

He stuck his whole body against the wall, sometimes preparing to run for the door if something went wrong!
"Okay!" Hejian County King put away his smiling face, and slowly changed his long sleeves into a comfortable position, "Speaking of which, what are you doing here?"

Move, talk, this person has a little more air at least.This house is not that gloomy anymore.

Cui Pu's little heart is still thumping, and he hasn't recovered yet.

He stared at the face of Prince Hejian for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Your prince, are you sick again?"

"Are you scared by my face?" Prince Hejian touched his face and grinned at him again.

is a bit.Cui Pu nodded honestly, not daring to look at his face.

No way, no matter who it is, he will be frightened when he sees this face, okay?
Although it was broad daylight, the doors and windows of the piano room were all closed, and only a few candles were lit in the four corners of the room.As soon as he came in, he saw a man in white with a pale face sitting there.The candlelight was dim, and the jumping flames reflected on his face, making his complexion extremely pale and his eyes terrifyingly empty.The ten fingers, which were so white as if soaked in water for ten days and nights, fiddled with the strings faintly, and the tune that came out was even more resentful.The resentment outside was already deep enough, but the resentment inside the house was ten times stronger than outside!
Facing such a situation, coupled with the onslaught of resentment... No matter how courageous he was, he seemed to have fallen into a haunted house at that moment, and all the hairs on his body stood on end in fright.

Until now, in such an eerie atmosphere, he still feels terrified.

Fortunately, he didn't let Mu Jiaojiao come over.Otherwise, such a situation wouldn't frighten her to relapse?He secretly said in his heart.

Seeing him like a frightened deer, King Hejian's lips curled up slightly. "You are honest. Well, since you have discovered everything, then I will tell you the truth. This king is not sick, this is what this king looks like. What you see outside is just this king's deliberate disguise." It's just an illusion."

"Are you sure you didn't mean to let me see you like this?" Cui Pu whispered.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he happened to be able to walk into this place so smoothly at this time.

"Well, you're right if you think so." Duke Hejian nodded.

It really is!The old man was really uneasy and kind, and he would bully him every time!Cui Pu yelled in his heart.It's just that the atmosphere here is too eerie and weird, otherwise he would have jumped up and beat him up.

King Hejian slowly raised his white hand to comb his hair, and then said slowly: "Since you all know that I have raised many Gu worms, the Gu worms must have an owner. As the owner , releasing my own blood to raise Gu worms is also what I should do."

So, all his blood was given to those Gu worms to drink?How many Gu worms did he have to raise?
Cui Pu felt chills all over his body, and suddenly regretted rushing to the door.If he had known that he would run into this scene, he would never have come here!
As if aware of his thoughts, King Hejian smiled again: "Don't worry. This king likes the eldest lady very much now, and your lady is not a vegetarian. Now, it is impossible for your whole family to be planted with Gu worms by me again." gone."

That's good.Cui Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally thought about looking at the person in front of him.After just taking a look at it, he couldn't help but stop talking, cursing in his heart--monster!

Originally, the Prince of Hejian was already monstrous enough, but now he is even more terrifyingly monstrous!This body is pale, full of resentment, but why does it make people more and more fascinated by it?

"You haven't said what your purpose is yet." Duke Hejian said slowly again.

Those eyes swept over him, making him numb with the cold every time he went to a place.

Talk it out, he's talking it out now!Cui Pu hurriedly said: "It will be the eldest lady's eighth birthday soon, we plan to hold a few banquets and invite relatives and friends who are acquainted to get together. Today, the next official is here to invite you."

While talking, he took out a post and handed it over.

Prince Hejian didn't answer the post, but squinted at him.

"Relatives? Friends? Which category does this king belong to?"

"In my opinion, I don't belong to any category. But the eldest lady likes you, and in her heart you should belong to her friend!" Cui Pu said.

Hearing his mention of the eldest lady, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Hejian County King's eyes.But right away, he laughed at himself again: "It's hard for you to remember me. But, I think she doesn't want to see me anymore, right?"

"His Royal Highness, the officials have already come to invite you, so please stop pretending, okay?" Cui Pu said impatiently.Do you know that he still feels chilly in his bones, wishing he could run away immediately?If he hadn't thought of his daughter's sad little face, he would have left long ago!
Prince Hejian raised his eyelashes. "What do you mean by that?"

"A person who needs to be careful to please someone for fear of hurting his heart, and a person who can make you lose your temper without worrying about the consequences, who do you think she is closer to in her heart?" Cui Pu only asked.

Duke Hejian was startled, his eyes sparkled immediately.Even that pale face showed a bit of humanity.

Seeing this, Cui Pu knew that his goal had been achieved.

He quickly patted the post towards him. "The post has been delivered. As for whether to go or not, it's up to you to choose." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran away.

He can't stand it!If he stays in this ghost place any longer, he will either freeze to death or be frightened to death!
