"Doctor Li also wants to..." Su Xian turned his head and looked at the leader and smiled: "I also want to ask the leader to take off his mask and see what the leader looks like."
The queen and the chief minister immediately understood that this was not what Dr. Li meant, it was just what Su Xian wanted to see.
Saying that Li Qingniu wanted to see it was just an excuse.
Du Juan, the leader of the pavilion, wore a dragon-patterned mask, glanced coldly sideways, with a hint of warning in his eyes, and said in the same cold voice:
"Everyone who has seen my true face will die by my sword!"
When Su Xian heard this, he immediately looked frightened and exaggeratedly shouted to the Queen:
"Your Majesty, help me, the chief minister is going to kill someone!"
The chief of the pavilion suddenly had black lines on his head. She just gave a simple warning, and Su Xian went to the queen to act... coquettishly? This made her very depressed.
The queen looked solemn, and while comforting Su Xian, she scolded the chief of the cabinet:
"Shut up, you scared Su Aiqing. Su Aiqing is not an ordinary person. I don't trust him as much as you. How dare you threaten Su Aiqing like this?"
"His Majesty……"
The Grand Pavilion Leader was speechless for a moment. The rule of "killing anyone who sees her true face" was imposed on her by the Queen, but now she is being criticized in turn.
The Queen didn't notice at all, she glanced sideways at Nangong Wan'er and others, and ordered:
"You all stand down."
"yes."
After Nangong Wan'er waited for the female officials to exit the side hall, she closed the door of the side hall.
At this time, only the Queen, Su Xian, and the three heads of the pavilion were left in the hall.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here. Du Juan, please take off your mask and let Su Aiqing take a good look." The Queen ordered calmly, with a tone that was unquestionable.
"Subordinate...obey the order."
The chief of the pavilion hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed, even though he was very reluctant.
The queen turned her head again, looked at Su Xian and asked with a smile:
"Before Du Juan takes off her mask, Su Aiqing might as well guess what Du Juan looks like? If you guess correctly, I will reward you heavily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Xian thanked the queen, turned around and faced the chief of the pavilion, his eyes were burning, and he looked carefully up and down, left and right, not missing any place.
The pavilion felt constrained and cramped. In normal times, who would dare to look at her so unscrupulously? A transparent hole had already been pierced by her sword.
"Judging from the figure of the leader and the voice of his voice, the leader should be around thirty years old."
Su Xian started to comment on others. It looked like he was in a talent show. The leader's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't help but turned sideways.
A woman in her thirties, and a leader of the Imperial Guard, she must not be beautiful, and even looks very scary and ferocious, otherwise why would she be wearing a mask... Su Xian thought to himself.
But he didn't mean to say that.
I saw him smile one last time and turn to face the Queen:
"Your Majesty, I have a bold guess that the Dagong Ling must be a great beauty who has attracted the attention of the whole country. Although she is over thirty years old, her charm must still be there. I believe that the ladies of ordinary families cannot compare to the Dagong Ling!"
The queen smiled and waved to the chief of the cabinet:
"Du Juan, take off the mask."
"yes."
The Grand Pavilion Leader felt very uncomfortable. He thought that her dignified Imperial Guard Grand Pavilion Leader could be said to be inferior to one person but more than ten thousand people, but now she had become... the plaything of the Queen and Su Xian.
I'm depreesed!
But your orders cannot be violated.
The chief of the pavilion glanced at Su Xian coldly for the last time, and finally stretched his hands slowly behind his head. He heard a soft "kacha" sound, and the dragon-marked mask had loosened.
Su Xian and the Queen were both staring at it seriously without blinking.
This made the Grand Pavilion leader feel a little shy. After all, she had been showing off her mask to others for more than ten years, and no one had ever seen her true face during this period...
Finally, the mask was slowly removed.
The face of the chief of the pavilion appeared clearly in front of the two of them.
Seeing this, Su Xian and the Queen took a breath of cold air at the same time, then froze on the spot with their mouths slightly open, and did not recover for a long time.
Su Xian was shocked.
You guessed... you guessed it right? !
I saw that the chief of the pavilion indeed had a face that would captivate the whole country. Perhaps because of wearing a mask all year round, his skin was as white and tender as snow, and his facial features were also extremely iconic.
The most eye-catching thing is her red lips, which are so bright red that they are flaming red. Combined with her crystal clear skin and iconic face, they are breathtakingly beautiful and give people a strong sense of shock.
Why was the Queen stunned and lost her mind again?
In fact, the Queen naturally knew what the Grand Pavilion Leader looked like, but she never thought that she would actually apply lipstick and turn her already beautiful red lips into flaming red lips, which looked extremely beautiful.
So what does she mean?
Seducing men?
But she wears a mask all the time!
Who to seduce?
The Queen didn't understand the purpose of the Grand Councillor's dressing up so beautifully, so she frequently looked sideways, with a look in her eyes.
The Grand Pavilion Leader stood there, being stared at by the Queen and Su Xian. She felt uncomfortable all over. She wanted to turn around, but was afraid of being too embarrassed, so she could only stand there without moving.
Furthermore, she is the leader of the inner guard after all, and she is not too young, so the shyness that only a younger daughter has can quickly disappear from her body.
"Your Majesty, I actually... I guessed it right!"
Su Xian broke the silence, looked at the Queen and smiled:
"As expected, the Grand Pavilion Leader has captivated the country and the city, and his charm is still there. Although he is far from as beautiful as His Majesty, he still has an unexpected appearance."
The queen's expression moved slightly, her eyes wandered between the chief of the pavilion and Su Xian, and she said with a smile:
"Su Aiqing, the flaming red lips of the Grand Pavilion Leader are really thrilling. I'm so happy to see you. Do you want to... kiss her?"
"..."
After saying this, the air in the side hall froze.
The chief minister twitched his lips, did you hear that right? The Queen actually encouraged Su Xian to... kiss her? !
She remembered very clearly that when she followed the Queen, the Queen was worried that she was too beautiful and would unintentionally attract the attention of men, and then fall in love and interfere with her business.
Therefore, the queen ordered her to wear a mask, and anyone who saw her true face, especially men, would be killed immediately.
The high cabinet leader is very loyal and has shown no pretense to any man over the years. In order to serve the Queen wholeheartedly, he doesn't care about love or heirs.
But the current queen is so absurd. Isn't she afraid that the leader of the pavilion will be old-minded and fall in love with Su Xian because of this kiss?
When the head of the Grand Pavilion was full of black lines, Su Xian's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Okay, okay!"
After hearing Su Xian's words, the chief of the pavilion staggered and almost lost his balance. Su Xian was actually... so lustful that even the elderly woman didn't want to let him go?
Fortunately, Su Xian immediately smiled again and said:
"Uh... that's not right, that's not right. Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated. What if the leader of the Grand Pavilion kills me with a sword? It's not right, it's not right, my life is still at stake."
The chief of the pavilion breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the queen subconsciously. It turned out that the queen's expression changed slightly.
She knew in her heart that Su Xian suddenly changed his tune when he noticed the change in the queen's expression.
"She dares!"
When the Queen heard what Su Xian said, her expression finally returned to normal, and then she asked with a smile: "Su Aiqing, you only have one chance, are you sure you refuse?"
"Sure!"
Su Xian made a splash.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Council suddenly realized that Su Xian was joking from the beginning and did not want to kiss her. After all, she was the Chief of the Interior Guard!
Who would have nothing to do with her?
If one thing is not done well, it will end in pieces!
Although Su Xian was a first-class Taiwei and was deeply favored by the Queen, he was no exception.
But just as this thought flashed through her mind, Su Xian glanced at her vaguely.
She was stunned for a moment.
Because she could read from that look——
Su Xian really wanted to kiss her!
…
After some time.
Su Xian and his party finally left the palace.
In the carriage returning to the Marquis Mansion, Li Qingniu hugged the wine jar the size of a human head tightly, stroking it with his hands from time to time. It was so precious.
In fact, Su Xian only glanced at his wine jar, and Li Qingniu became excited. He hugged the wine jar and shrank back without saying a word. He glared at Su Xian with a pair of bull's eyes and scolded:
"Boy, what are you looking at with such stern eyes?"
"Master is too careful, how can this disciple steal your wine jar?" Su Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It's hard to say. This jar of nine branches of nectar was hard-earned. It may be the last jar left in the world. It is the lifeblood of my master, and it is more precious than ten thousand taels of gold!"
"..."
Su Xian rubbed his face and endured the fact "Tell Li Qingniu that he still has more than three hundred jars of nine-branch nectar."
It is true that revealing all the Nine Branches of Nectar can shock Li Qingniu, and he can also take advantage of the situation and show off.
But what then?
He thought about it secretly, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at Li Qingniu and said with a smile:
"Master, since this jar of Nine Branches of Nectar is so important, Master should not hold it in person. According to the disciple's point of view, it is safer to leave it to Zhilan to carry!"
"What do you know!" Li Qingniu said with disdain on his face, "That little girl is just better at skills, but in other aspects she seems rough!"
"This is the lifeblood of the master, it is very important. Only a cautious, careful and meticulous person like the master can transport the wine jar back to the Marquis Mansion safely!"
"..."
When Su Xian saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him and just let him go.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Everyone dismounted and entered the mansion one by one.
During this period, Li Qingniu was still holding the wine jar himself. He was too cautious. Whenever someone took one more look at his wine jar, he would jump up and curse them to prevent others from looking at him.
Su Xian kept talking nonsense, but didn't say much, as long as Li Qingniu was happy.
Because Li Qingniu was eager to prepare the medicine, he went straight to his residence after entering the house, walking a little faster.
Su Xian and others followed behind. Seeing that he was walking faster and faster, Su Xian kindly reminded: "Master, walk slower. We have waited for decades, so we are not afraid of delaying this moment and a half."
"Don't worry, although I'm old as a teacher, I can still walk the road, no need to..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Qingniu's voice suddenly rose and he exclaimed:
"……ah!"
Su Xian and others followed behind and saw very clearly that Li Qingniu was overly excited and his feet were tripped by a small stone. Under the weightlessness, he fell forward.
Naturally, he couldn't hold on to the wine jar the size of a human head. He took it out and flew forward like a cannonball, about to be smashed to the ground before he saw it!
"ah……"
Li Qingniu wailed in fear, his eyes were about to burst. He seemed to have seen the scene where "the wine jar fell to the ground and smashed, and the wine splashed and soaked into the soil"!
But he was weightless and fell forward, unable to control himself and unable to do anything.
That was a jar of nine-branch nectar that he had waited for decades to obtain.
The result was destroyed in front of his eyes.
The hope of continuing the family line has been dashed again!
He suddenly hated himself so much, why was he so careless? Why didn't you notice your feet? !
After a few breaths, Li Qingniu fell to the ground with his face down, and there was a bang, and the dust was scattered in all directions.
"Master!"
He heard the voices of Su Xian and others.
Then he was helped up.
His head was filled with confusion, as if he had lost his soul. He felt that God was too cruel to him. He just wanted a child of his own to carry on the family line. Why didn't God give him a chance?
While he was grieving, Su Xian's voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Master, look, the wine jar was not broken!"
"Um?"
Li Qingniu was shocked and hurriedly looked up. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't seem to hear the sound of the wine jar falling to the ground just now...
Half a foot in front of me, I saw that the wine jar the size of a human head was indeed suspended in mid-air and never landed! Still fine.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that there was a person lying on his back below, holding the wine jar firmly with both hands raised.
"Fortunately!"
Li Qingniu suddenly turned from sadness to joy, rushed over quickly, and carefully took the wine jar from the man's hand... The wine jar was not broken, and there was hope of continuing the family lineage. Li Qingniu almost cried with joy.
"Get up quickly."
Su Xian also ran over and reached out to pull up the man who was lying on his back.
When Li Qingniu heard this, his heart moved. He turned to look over and thanked him: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have killed you today."
"Master, you're welcome. This is what Zhilan should do." Su Xian smiled.
"Zhilan?"
Li Qingniu quickly took a closer look and then stood there dumbfounded.
The person who protected his life just now was Yang Zhilan!
Yang Zhilan was not good at expressing and did not express anything. Only Su Xian laughed and said:
"Zhi Lan is just a bit more skilled. He is rough in other aspects. It was just a coincidence that he protected Master's life this time."
Li Qingniu's complexion suddenly turned dark. Su Xian was mocking him!
Because the words "Yang Zhilan is rough with hands and feet" came right from his mouth.
But in the end, it was Yang Zhilan who protected the wine jar... This wasn't a slap in the face of the old man in public.
Su Xian then smiled and said:
"Not only Zhilan, but also us, none of us can be more 'cautious, careful, and meticulous' than you, Master!"
"Go, go, go!"
Li Qingniu lost his composure, turned around and left holding the wine jar, while waving vigorously behind him, with a hint of guilt hidden in his impatience:
"Just send it here. Go and do your own business. You don't have to follow me anymore!"
Su Xian refused to listen and followed him as soon as he stepped forward, saying with a playful smile:
"Farewell, Master. The next process of preparing and refining the medicine is very tedious. I want to stay and help, as a disciple, to fulfill my filial piety."
"what ever!"
Although Li Qingniu said this, he felt very comfortable in his heart.
Xin said that although this apprentice was hateful and even slapped his old face in public, he was very filial. Since Su Xian wanted to stay and help, he would naturally not refuse.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Su Xian laughed again:
"Master, after successfully preparing the medicine, shouldn't it be time for the master to teach the... pre-Qin guidance technique to his disciples?"
Li Qingniu's expression suddenly stiffened.
This evil disciple, it turned out that he only showed his courtesy to learn the pre-Qin Daoyin technique?
Fortunately, the old man was very moved just now!
