Chapter 453
This time, Cui Pu can be said to have fled in despair.

It wasn't until he got out of the Prince's Mansion, rode a horse on the street, felt the blazing sunshine that is unique to Guangzhou at this time, and removed all the chill that invaded his bones, that he finally felt alive.

Terrible, really terrible!

Thinking about what he saw and felt in the piano room just now, he couldn't help shivering several times.

I really didn't expect that the real face of Hejian County King turned out to be like this.No wonder he doesn't go out to meet people on weekdays.

Also, with him like this, how long does it take to put on makeup to look like a person?If it were me, I would have closed the door all day and no one would have disappeared.

But... think about it this way: Every year he has to dress up in such a grand way to play with the eldest lady.This year in Guangzhou, he even allowed the eldest lady to come at any time. Does that mean that the position of the eldest lady in his heart is special and unique?
Thinking about it this way, he felt that the eldest lady's lovesickness was worth it.At least his heart for the eldest lady is no less than that of his own father.

Although he was still reluctant to send his daughter to this person's arms.But there's nothing like a happy baby girl, right?As long as the eldest lady can show her smile again, this inhuman king of the county can just bear it!

It's just that today's experience was too terrifying, and he couldn't bear it alone.So when he returned to the government office, he quickly told Mu Jiaojiao about it.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard about it, she couldn't help frowning.

"The whole body is pale, without a trace of blood?" She murmured in a low voice, lowering her eyes to think, "I have seen a few cases of this kind of disease, but I just combined your other statements, such as once you get agitated, you can recover a little. He is not albino, that is to say, he is not albino. What's the matter? He also said that he has always been like this, but most people will definitely not be able to survive for three years when they encounter this kind of situation."

"Is it wrong to say that feeding Gu with the body?" Cui Pu asked.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head. "This is also deceiving laymen. Gu is mainly because it cannot be manipulated well, and it will indeed be backlashed. But, do you think he can't be manipulated?"

"Not like." Cui Pu shook his head immediately.

The person who can torture his mother-in-law to death, inject such vicious Gu worms into Mu Jiaojiao's body, and torture her for nearly 20 years, no matter how you look at it, he is an expert.

"So, I suspect that he's not sick at all, but...bewitched by a Gu!"

"Curved by Gu?" Cui Pu was taken aback by her conclusion, "Isn't he a Gu breeder himself?"

"Who said that a person who raises Gu can't be tricked? Maybe someone is more skilled than him, or it's possible that he played Gu for him a long time ago." Mu Jiaojiao thought about it.

But after thinking about it, there was still too little relevant information, and she couldn't make a judgment at all.

"I think we still have to find a way to find out the old background of the Hejian County King."

"Well, I also think it's necessary." Cui Pu nodded.Today the Prince of Hejian chose to let him see his true face, what is this old man planning?Don't say that he just had a whim, anyway, neither of them believed it.

It's just that they can't do this kind of investigation of people's background in Guangzhou.Moreover, in fact, they had asked someone to check it before, but found that there was very little information on Hejian County King, and what they got was the ones that were circulated on the market, not much at all.I wanted to dig deeper, but found that there seemed to be an invisible hand covering all those things, and they couldn't get them out at all.

This is strange.What secret does this Prince of Hejian have that can be protected so far?

So, now that they have made this decision, they don't dare to have too much hope, they just want to try again.

For a month, the couple posted posts and made preparations everywhere, and before they knew it, the eldest lady's birthday was coming.

Just a few days before his birthday, Governor Guo brought Guo Yao, Duke Lu, Duke E, Imperial Physician Chang and many veteran officials who had enjoyed the benefits Cui Pu brought to Yangzhou.The Cui family, Mu family, Cheng family, Yuchi family, etc. in Chang'an also sent congratulatory gifts, Mu Jiaojiao's disciples and grandchildren gathered together, Wang Shiqiu and his wife also came from Xiatang County with their children.A group of people gathered together, it can be said to be very lively.

Seeing these long-lost relatives, the eldest lady really became more emotional.However, Cui Pu still clearly saw a bit of loneliness in her eyes.

On the day of the birthday, the banquet was about to start, but the Duke of Hejian still didn't show up.

Cui Pu was anxious, and whispered to Mu Jiaojiao: "Don't wait any longer, he will definitely come."

The eldest lady raised her head, "Aren't all the guests here? Father and mother, let's have a feast! Don't make Grandpa Guo and the others wait in a hurry."

After Cui Pu paused, the eldest lady simply took them one by one, turned around and walked back.

At this moment, a loud shout finally came from outside - "Hejian County King is here!"

It's here!
Cui Pu quickly stopped in his tracks: "Ma'am, there are guests coming again, why don't you go and greet them?"

"I'm a little lady, how can I go to meet a male guest?" The eldest lady said coldly, but her voice was clearly not so gloomy, and her complexion had obviously softened a lot.

Sure enough, Prince Hejian is the good medicine for her illness!

Cui Pu finally had no choice but to accept this reality. "Okay, then Dad will meet you. You and A Niang are waiting here. Today you are a birthday boy, and the guests come to drink for your sake. It is necessary for you to say hello to the guests! "

"Understood." The eldest lady replied coolly, her feet did not move a step forward.

Seeing this, Cui Pu sighed again in his heart, and went to pick up the guests resignedly.

Today the Prince of Hejian was going out to meet people, so he naturally dressed himself up again.As always, he is suave, suave, handsome and extraordinary, with a three-pointed smile on his face, so humble, courteous and gentle, completely different from the ghost Cui Pu saw in the piano room that time.

Fortunately, after so many days of self-regulation, Cui Pu has accepted this reality.So now, when he saw Prince Hejian again, he still smiled at him, although the smile was a bit forced.

Prince Hejian also smiled and nodded at him.

The two exchanged a glance tacitly, and then turned their eyes away.

Walking through the hanging flower gate, the eldest lady and Mu Jiaojiao are still waiting there.

Seeing the eldest lady from a distance, a gleam of light flashed in Hejian Junwang's eyes, and he quickly smiled at her.

The eldest lady bit her lip and was about to turn her head away.

Mu Jiaojiao lightly patted her on the shoulder: "Have you forgotten all the rules Nanny Lu taught you?"

The eldest lady immediately raised her head and chest, and Shi Shiran bowed and saluted: "My little girl has seen the king of Hejian County."

His tone was cold, and one could tell that he was still angry.

However, she was willing to see him and talk to him, which was already a big improvement.Reminiscent of what Cui Pu said that day, the smile on Hejian Junwang's face became even bigger.He smiled again: "Young lady, you're welcome."

Then he took out a delicate little box and handed it over: "This is a birthday present I prepared for you, do you like it?"

"You don't need to read it, you will definitely like it." The eldest lady said, and handed the box to the maid behind her.

Prince Hejian's smile stiffened slightly, but he still nodded. "As long as you like it."

Cui Pu hurriedly invited King Hejian to sit in again.

Now, the guests have finally arrived, and the banquet officially begins.

Now those who come to the banquet are not outsiders, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao did not prepare those well-behaved banquets.Instead, they picked some Lingnan local meals that were suitable for everyone to eat, plus some dishes they liked, and served with the lychee wine brewed by Mu Jiaojiao himself.

When these things were put on the table, they received unanimous praise from everyone.

Governor Guo even started to eat vegetables with big chopsticks and drink with big bowls, laughing loudly: "It can be regarded as a feast for me again! It's been more than half a year, and I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time. !Of course, this wine is also good, much stronger than the lychee wine you sent me before, you will remember it in the future, so just send me this, I don’t want others to make it!”

The others also agreed one after another, calling for Mu Jiaojiao to brew it herself, and insisting that only her brew is the best.Mu Jiaojiao agreed with a smile.

Just when the wine was hot, Xiao Si'er ran in from the outside in a hurry.He clung to Cui Pu's ear and said something in a low voice, Cui Pu's expression darkened immediately, and he slapped his chopsticks on the table.

"Dare to make trouble on my daughter's birthday? Alright, I'll meet him now!"
