Poisonous girls are hard to find: the king's arrogant favorite concubine

Chapter 197 The Man Behind
In the shadow in the darkness, there was a gaze, warm, stunning, and admiring, all aimed at a person. Xuan Che looked at the beautiful Ding Jiuxi who was out of control in the night, and there were some waves in his heart.

The life that such a woman should have should not be green hills, beautiful waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers, someone to serve and someone to love her, but she lives in the calculations of her family every day, and lives in the midst of many scheming, Xuan Che inexplicably feels distressed.

She still had one more thing to do, so she strolled over and knocked lightly on Ding Xichen's door.

"Who, it's so late?" Ding Xichen's sleepy voice came from inside, a little lazy and powerless.

"Xichen, it's me, open the door, I want to talk to you." Ding Jiuxi's voice sounded softly.

Hearing a weak reply from inside, Ding Xichen rubbed his eyes and appeared in Ding Jiuxi's sight after a while.

"Sister, it's so late, why are you so anxious to find me if you haven't rested yet?" Ding Xichen poured a cup of tea for Ding Jiuxi, and poured himself a cup to drink it down before he became sober.

"It's not big even if it's big, and it's not small if you say it. Do you remember that you promised your sister to learn skills and protect her in the future?" Ding Jiuxi stroked Ding Xichen's head tenderly, unlike before. You can tease.

Ding Xichen was puzzled, "Remember, I've been studying all the time. You see, I'm running the business very well now. Is it because I'm not doing well enough? Sister, tell me, I will definitely change!"

Seeing Ding Jiuxi's rare expression, Ding Xichen felt a little uneasy. In his eyes, Ding Jiuxi was gentle, mischievous, pungent, and straightforward, but he had never seen such a sentimental one, and he still used a He looked at himself with pity.

With the same moonlight as Yinhua, Ding Xichen sat down obediently on a quiet night.

Ding Jiuxi finally smiled as if he was smiling with the moonlight, "Xichen, you have already learned almost what I taught you in the capital, but as a man, you have to learn more than these things, I want you to join the army!"

"Join the army?!" Ding Xichen repeated Ding Jiuxi's last two words in a daze.

"Yes, Daddy is a general. Don't you wish that you are also a man capable of writing and martial arts? Now that you are sent to join the army, you can learn from Daddy's generals." Ding Jiuxi said lightly, but It can make people feel her seriousness and solemnity.

Staring at Ding Jiuxi's gaze, Ding Xichen fell into deep thought. Although he was surprised by this proposal, but seeing his father's military horse since he was a child, it's not like he didn't hope that he would be like his father when he grew up, riding a war horse and leading him. Triumph with honor.

This is the first time someone has directly and solemnly stated this matter in front of him. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, "Since my sister wants me to join the army, I will go."

Ding Jiuxi shook his head and sighed, "It can't be said that I want you to go, you go, you have to pay attention to yourself, I hope you join the army, but I also hope that this is from your voluntary rather than me force you."

"Then I'll go too." Ding Xichen nodded again.

Thinking about sending Ding Xichen to the battlefield with his own hands, what kind of bloody hole is that? Once a war breaks out, he will almost die. In such a battlefield that is almost in the form of hand-to-hand combat, Ding Jiuxi does not know where the courage comes from To send him to join the army.

I think it's time for Li Kui to make a good set of equipment for Ding Xichen in case of emergency.

"Well, then I will tell Dad tomorrow that you should also hand over the matters in your hands to Shopkeeper Qiu as soon as possible. From now on, these matters will be handled by Young Master Jiu."

"Well, sister, is there anything else you need to say?" Ding Xichen had lost all sleepiness, looked at Ding Jiuxi's still worried face, and asked with concern.

"No, you will be the only one by your side in the future. You must protect yourself. That's all I have to say. I should go back." Ding Jiuxi came out after speaking, and there was no Let Ding Xichen take even one step.

She was afraid, she was afraid that if she softened her heart, she would repent. Although his heart was surrounded by hatred, the warm people and things in his heart were even more precious.

She took a few deep breaths of the cold air in the night sky before she woke up.

"Mom, don't blame me. I hope you can understand me. The situation at home is still on the brink. If one is not careful, it may hurt Xichen. I would rather him join the army. After passing this hurdle, I will What I have to do is to face Mo Ran, I will definitely need the support of the military at that time, I hope that person is someone I can absolutely rely on, mother, am I being selfish, if you are here, will you support me?"

Ding Jiuxi didn't dare to go back, so he found a random place to sit down and mutter to himself.

Xuan Che looked at Ding Jiuxi's back, and suddenly felt that she had a feeling of loneliness projected on him. He let himself out of the darkness without knowing it, and slowly sat down close to Ding Jiuxi.

"In fact, many things are not your responsibility alone. Why do you have to carry everything by yourself? You will be very tired if you do this. There are very few people who love you. Are you willing to let the few remaining people do it for you? Worried about being sad?"

With Xuan Che's appearance, Ding Jiuxi only glanced at it, then continued to look at the boundless darkness in front of him, with a wry smile spreading from the corner of his mouth, "I don't want to bear so much by myself, and live a simple life without any troubles every day." Until you grow old, most people probably think this way, but there are too many components in this world, and many things are basically out of your control, and it is good enough to be able to cover the water with the soldiers."

Feeling so emotional, Xuan Che also agreed very much. Wasn't he forced to come to Zhao country step by step like this, and then he was poisoned by Gu poison, and now he lives in Ding's mansion.

"What you said is not wrong, but since Xichen is willing to do these things, you don't have to feel guilty. You still have a lot to do tomorrow, and it's already very late. No matter what is on your mind, let it go, and then sleep well. Let yourself be full of energy tomorrow to deal with those wind and rain."

Xuan Che's words were very light, and seemed even more empty in such a night, but Ding Jiuxi could hear the warm smell inside, looking at Xuan Che, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

"What about you, it's so late, you still follow me?" Ding Jiuxi looked at Xuan Che playfully.

Xuan Che smiled generously, "The situation is not very clear these few days, something happened during the day, in case that person is still worried about your life, I will follow you at least, if I don't feel that something is wrong and follow you during the day, Where do you have time to be sad here now?"

"Then don't I want to thank you for following me?" When Ding Jiuxi said this, he thought it was funny, and couldn't help chuckling.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the relationship between them didn't need some pale explanations at all, and they just did it.

It was only when Xuan Che sent Ding Jiuxi back to the Jiuxi space that he felt at ease. He kept guard until the lights inside were extinguished, quietly feeling the flow of breath in the night sky, and went back with peace of mind until he found that there was really no abnormal movement.

Waking up early the next morning, Ding Jiuxi woke up in the midst of Su Peixin's desperate cry.

"What's wrong with San Niang?" Ding Jiuxi asked about Fu Rong who was cleaning up for him.

Fu Rong's face was very strange, with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, "What else can I do, I will be so angry that the second lady will die."

"Did something happen to Second Miss?" Ding Jiuxi suddenly had a bad premonition.

"I had a quarrel with the master once. Early in the morning, I ran to the old man's courtyard to scream and cry. It seemed that it was because Qingyuan was fit to die. Now it's all right. The old man hadn't let go of his anger yesterday. He was provoked again, directly planning to expel the second lady from the Ding residence, but the third lady was locked in the courtyard by the master and was not allowed to go out, saying that if the third lady begged for mercy, she would be punished together."

"Didn't this matter be pressed by the old lady yesterday? Why did it change today?"

"No, you said that the second lady really doesn't know how to cherish it. It was spread all over the capital in a day, saying that she was indiscreet. Lin Xun not only retired, but also said it in a dirty way. There are so many harsh words, it is estimated that no one in Kyoto would dare to marry the second young lady."

"But how did the second miss know that Qingyuan is suitable for death this early in the morning? At this juncture, I guess it is impossible for her to buy people from the Ding residence to inquire about the news for her."

"It's true. Whoever helps her is going to make things difficult for her. How did she know the news?"

This is the crux of the problem. Ding Jiuxi thought about it, and felt that the sudden incident was too strange. The Liu news she went to find yesterday was not for him to develop the matter in such a convenient way. Could it be that Liu news was talking to herself while talking with her? With other abacus?
But Ding Jiuxi quickly overturned his idea. Liu News didn't need that. If he wanted to do something by himself, he didn't need to perfuse Ding Jiuxi. So how could it be known all over the city early in the morning?
Furong didn't notice what Ding Jiuxi was thinking at all, and said to herself, "But when the young master came back early this morning, he apologized to the master, saying that he couldn't stop the development of the matter at all, and then told him The master talked about the situation outside, who knew that the second lady would go there crying and making noises at this time, but the scene simply caused the second lady to break things all over the floor."

"You said that the young master passed by at that time? Or did he just come back from the outside?" A light flashed in Ding Jiuxi's mind, so it was so.

Fu Rong was confused, but she answered seriously, "Yes."

"Hey, Miss, why are you so anxious all of a sudden, let Fu Rong help you get dressed." Fu Rong was confused by Ding Jiuxi's sudden hasty behavior, and said anxiously.
