Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1226

On this day, when Xiao Xu and Chu Qingyan returned to the palace, the housekeeper handed over a greeting card.

Xiao Xu took the greeting card, glanced at the lotus pattern on it, and then opened it.

After reading the contents inside, his expression became a little subtle.

Seeing the change in his expression, Chu Qingyan, who was drinking tea, couldn't help asking, "Who sent the post?"

Xiao Hou put the post on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, "A person you can't think of."

so mysterious?

She immediately took the post and opened it, her eyes fell on the inscription, Xiao Hou.

She looked in disbelief after reading it, "You have nothing to do to visit the post?"

Xiao Xu took the teacup, took a sip, and thought.

Chu Qingyan continued, "We don't have much contact with him on weekdays, but he plotted against him a few times behind his back. What does he want to do when he comes to our palace this time?"

"I'm also very curious about going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing." Xiao Xu said with a calm expression.

She remembered that when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he designed the bank and caused the big ice to suffer a lot of losses. Fortunately, he finally got it back, but after that, he was the black hand hiding in the dark, reaching out from time to time to push you, thinking Pushing you into the gutter, such a person has to be guarded against.

"My subordinates feel that Lord Yi is just like a weasel giving a chicken New Year's greetings. He has no good intentions. Maybe he dug a hole in front, waiting for us to jump down." Huo Ling stood aside, thinking of Jiangnan Xiaolie riding Being played around by King Yi as a fool, and causing a lot of stumbling blocks to his master afterwards, a fire was burning in his heart.

She could understand Huo Ling's anger, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but turned her head and asked, "Then, are you going to accept this invitation or not?"

"Of course, why not?"

Xiao Hou smiled lightly, he wanted to see what this third younger brother came to him for, in other words, what tricks he wanted to play.

Whether it's a gimmick or something, the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth.

She and Huo Ling exchanged glances, since Big Ice Cube had made such a decision, they also wanted to see why Xiao Hou came here.

Because the time written on the greeting card was afternoon, so not long after lunch, the concierge came to report that Mr. Yi had arrived.

Chu Qingyan and Xiao Xu went to the living room together.

Not long after they sat down, Xiao Hou came in wearing a cloak.

Chu Qingyan looked at him secretly, there was a modern 31 second degree outside, but Xiao Hou was wearing a thin spring brocade jacket and a cloak over it, making people feel hot for him just by looking at him.

But he seemed to be used to it, his face was pale and weak, as if a gust of wind would blow him over.

However, the expression is gentle, the face is as elegant as jade, and the figure is tall and straight, which is very in line with the current aesthetics. Chu Qingyan thinks that the genes of the big ice cube and their royal family are so good that people are jealous, and they all come out like immortals in the painting.

But she felt that this image was different from the scheming, calculating, cold-blooded and ruthless Xiao Hou she imagined.

It shouldn't be such a seemingly completely harmless person.

But how many people can't be judged by their appearance?
Thinking about it this way, she also felt that it was reasonable.

I don't know if it's because her scrutinizing eyes are too obvious or what, Xiao Hou, who walked in slowly, tilted his head and looked in her direction. Just when she thought he was caught, he smiled at her with a soft expression. Like a harmless handsome scholar.

Chu Qingyan subconsciously nodded at him.

To be honest, she has always known that there is such a powerful opponent behind the big ice cube, but strictly speaking, this is the first time she and him have been in the same environment on such a serious occasion.

At this time, Xiao Hou had already withdrawn his gaze, stood in front of Xiao Xu, and bent slightly, "Brother Dahuang, Miss Chu, I'm really sorry to interrupt you suddenly." He said, accompanied by two coughs.

Although the two were secretly hostile, seeing his pale and bloodless face, Xiao Xu immediately raised his hand to let him sit down.

"Between brothers, there is nothing to disturb or not to disturb, or to feel sorry for." Xiao Xu acted like a brother, and his voice was not cold.

Xiao Hou was not polite either. He sat down beside him, looked at the tea that was served soon, and smiled slightly, "This is West Lake Longjing, right? You can smell it."

"That's right, it's the West Lake Longjing Tea. King Yi is so good that he guessed it right." Chu Qingyan was a little surprised. This person could actually distinguish the tea leaves only by their aroma, which is simply too good.

Xiao Hou smiled modestly, "It's not that great, it's just that your body is too weak. You usually stay in the mansion with nowhere to go and nothing to do, so you just drink tea when you have nothing to do. You can't say that you are proficient. But there are only a few that can be called.”

Listening to the chat between the two, Xiao Xu did not speak, and quietly sipped his tea.

The two discussed the topic of tea, and the atmosphere that was still somewhat unfamiliar just now seemed to melt.

Xiao Hou didn't get to the point, Xiao Xu was not in a hurry, Chu Qingyan was not in a hurry when she saw the big ice cubes in her house, and she was even more in a hurry, because they all knew that the one who was in a hurry was the person who took the initiative to visit, Xiao Hou.

Xiao Hou knew well at this moment that one of the two was in charge of chatting and the other was in charge of watching, they were simply pretending to be deaf and dumb, if he didn't mention it, they might continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He scoffed in his heart, the two of them really had a tacit understanding, the cooperation was too seamless, he didn't notice it at first, but now he saw it, he was relieved, his visit was indeed a bit sudden, so they were wary of themselves, So their reaction was normal, but if it wasn't, it was him to worry about.

After a while, the two of them got away from the topic of tea. Xiao Hou looked at Chu Qingyan with admiration. I heard that although she was born in the Chu family, but grew up in the countryside, she was able to understand so much. He was a little impressed.

But he did not forget the purpose of his trip.

"Brother Dahuang, I have an unfeeling request, and I hope Brother Dahuang can agree." Since the other party didn't say anything, it was up to him to propose it.

finally come.

Xiao Xu and Chu Qingyan looked at each other, and they saw a clear meaning in each other's eyes.

"Third brother, you are welcome. Tell me what you have to say." Xiao Xu replied with rare patience.

Chu Qingyan also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Hou nodded and said, "I want to ask Brother Da Huang about someone, or Ms. Chu, because the person I want to inquire about is your good friend."

Chu Qingyan was slightly taken aback, then pointed to herself, "I know you?"

Xiao Hou nodded again, "This person's name is Cheng Yanluo, the only daughter of Doctor Luo."

As soon as she heard Yanluo's name, Chu Qingyan immediately became vigilant. It would be no good if he suddenly asked Yanluo. After all, this person was so cunning, she didn't know what purpose he had for asking Yanluo.

She subconsciously looked at her big ice cube.

Do you want to tell him?
