Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 853 She Knows His Pain

Xiao Xu stopped and looked at him coldly.

Seeing this, Xun Kun didn't dare to delay, so he took the imperial decree in another hand, took out a letter from his arms, and when he handed it to Xiao Xu, he secretly glanced at Xiao Xu and said, "The empress said, if you If you don’t want to accept the order, I will hand over this letter to you, saying that filial piety comes first, and you will not refuse this letter.”

Xiao Xu's eyes fell on the letter coolly, "I really understand this king."

Xun Kun laughed hastily.

When Chu Qingyan returned to the mansion, she clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the mansion.

Before she caught anyone asking, a group of people she had never seen before walked up to her.

She couldn't help but stop, and the people in front also saw her and looked at her without any trace.

This pedestrian was none other than Xun Kun and his guards who had just retreated from the living room.

When he came to the front, Xun Kun cupped his hands and saluted Chu Qingyan, "I think this is the famous Mr. Chu Yan Chu."

Chu Qingyan was surprised, who is this person, dressed in a government official, could it be an official next to Lord Lin?
"It's just me, my lord, who are you?" She also asked politely, not being rude.

Xun Kun nodded slightly, and reported his family background, "This is Xun Kun, the servant of the Ministry of War."

Minister of the Ministry of War?

Why is he here?

Before Chu Qingyan could speak, Xun Kun said with deep meaning, "I heard that His Highness was accompanied by a young talent in the capital, and seeing him now, he is indeed a good-looking talent. Now the court is in need of talents. If you follow His Highness, you will definitely It has a bright future.”

"Your Excellency said so." Although she was confused, Chu Qingyan still responded with a smile.

It happened that a servant came up to lead the way, so Chu Qingyan and Xun Kun separated.

But what Xun Kun said before leaving made Chu Qingyan have some guesses.

"Young Master Chu has been by His Highness's side for so many years, and His Highness will listen to what you want to say. I hope that Young Master can persuade His Highness well. Only by focusing on the overall situation can the future be bright and prosperous."

When Chu Qingyan was thinking about this while walking, another person came in front of her, and it was Huo Ling who was looking for her.

"Huo Ling, did something happen?" Chu Qingyan asked without waiting for him to speak.

When Huo Ling saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief first, and then told her what happened today in a concise manner. At the end of the sentence, he said very angrily.

"When there was nothing wrong before, I wished I could leave my master aside. Now that something happened, I let my master come forward to solve it. How could such a good thing happen!"

Chu Qingyan immediately glared at him when she heard the words, "Be careful that the walls have ears!"

The Ninth Five-Year Supreme, how can he arrange it so casually?
Huo Ling knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately kept silent, but his face was still gloomy.

At this time, Chu Qingyan's heart was also in a mess, and it was really disturbing to appear at this time, "Where is Your Highness now?"

"After Master Xun left, master went back to the study, and he hasn't left yet." Huo Ling sighed softly.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look right now." Chu Qingyan left these words and hurried to the study.

Huo Ling looked at the back of the little princess and sighed again. He came out to look for the little princess because he hoped that at this time, someone could accompany the master. The master must be feeling uncomfortable right now.

Chu Qingyan walked quickly to the door of the study, but when she raised her hand to knock on the door, she stopped.

Just now, she hurried along the way, thinking that she would see the big ice cube soon, but she just missed the door, and she didn't know how to comfort him when she saw others later.

No matter how big-hearted people are, they can't bear the feeling of being called by someone like this, coming and going, and being his own biological father!
Just when she was hesitating, a faint voice came from inside the door, "What are you doing there if you don't come in?"

It was discovered!

She bit her lip and pushed the door open, and when she stepped in, a smile was already on her face.

"How do you know it's me? Your ears are so sharp!" She turned and closed the door, walking towards him with a smile.

"At this time, no one dares to come in except you." Xiao Xu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the distant horizon.

When Chu Qingyan passed the desk, she saw the letter mentioned by Huo Ling. She didn't stop her eyes, walked straight behind him, then reached out her hand to hug him unexpectedly from behind, and put her face on the With his back on his back, he said in a complaining and mischievous tone.

"Who made you so indifferent on weekdays? No one dares to breathe in front of you."

Xiao Xu chuckled, "Isn't there an exception?"

She knew he was alluding to her.

She shook her hands, full of clinginess, "What's the matter, they are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you! I am different from other people!"

"Yes, you are different from other people." He repeated her words, but he didn't know if it was a response to her words at this time, or there were other meanings.

"Big Ice Cube, is there something unhappy about you? I'm happy to tell you!" She spoke cheerfully, but behind what Xiao Xu couldn't see, her eyes were full of sadness and pity.

Xiao Xu didn't punish her for her words like usual, and his tone was still flat and authentic, "Don't you know everything?"

Chu Qingyan hugged his back tightly, and said softly, "That's different. What others say is different from what you say. If you hold it in your heart, you will feel uncomfortable, and you will also get sick."

Both of them were silent for a while, and then Xiao Xu spoke slowly.

"Just now Xun Kun brought the news from the front line. The Fourth Emperor's brother was defeated and the city lost a lot. If this continues, Nancang's army will come to the city in a few days."

These days, Xiao Lieqi is preparing for his marriage with the little guy. He didn't pay much attention to the battle reports from the front, so he didn't send the information to Jiangnan. degree.

"So the purpose of his coming is to pass on His Majesty's imperial decree to let you take Xiao Ran's place and quell the war?" Chu Qingyan had already guessed from Huo Ling's words just now.

"I do not know."

As soon as Xiao Xu's words came out, she froze on the spot.

"What?"

Xiao Xu turned around and let her wrap herself around her hands and shoulders, her brows raised slightly, "Because I didn't accept the imperial edict."

Why does this person look quite normal, not as sad and sad as she imagined.

But this shocked her even more.

"Is this really good? You'll be implicated by the Nine Clans!"

Xiao Xu gently hugged her into his arms, with a calm tone that made people wonder.

"Even if I don't read the imperial edict, I can still guess what's inside. Once I open that imperial edict, I'm afraid I won't be able to do many things."

"Then what can we do?" She was in a trance.

"Ayan, do you want me to accept the order?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" She buried her head in his arms, her answer was self-evident.

She knew that she might be too selfish in front of the world.

"That's why I asked Xun Kun to bring a message to my father, saying that there is no such person as Xiao Xu in this world." Xiao Xu said lightly.

what--

Chu Qingyan froze on the spot.
