Save the tragic villain in progress!

Chu Xinian managed to live in Xie Jingyuan's courtyard just like that.

He ignored the surprise of the butler, the worry of Skylark, and the various looks in the eyes of others.Holding Xie Jingyuan's cold hand, smiling warmly and charmingly, he whispered: "I will definitely take good care of the general."

Xie Jingyuan squinted his long and narrow eyes, with a sneer that only he knew, the meaning was unclear: "Really?"

Chu Xinian: "Nature is true."

Xie Jingyuan didn't say a word, and chuckled inwardly, just hoping that the other party wouldn't suddenly change his words at night due to fright.

The layout of houses of princes and nobles is similar, some are extravagant and some are a bit simple.

But Xie Jingyuan has a title, no matter how simple it is, it will not go anywhere.Flower and bird incense tripods, tuanhua carpets, antique collections, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, there are many of them.The only difference is probably that there is a Fenghan long sword on the shelf in his study——

Fall into the abyss.

When Chu Xinian saw the cold iron with icy breath, these two words suddenly appeared in his mind.

Dayan established the country with force, and the court is closely related to the rivers and lakes.There is a list in the rivers and lakes, called Qianqiu, which gathers the world's masters and saints, and it is replaced every ten years.Those who entered this list are all rare masters in the world.Fame has been passed down for several years, and it will never die.

Back then, Xie Jingyuan held the Luoyuan sword and killed dozens of masters in the Northern Territory in the Battle of Cangling. Among them was Wanku Guishou, who was ranked sixth on the Qianqiu list.

He had this feat when he was young, making his peers look plain and cramped.

Chu Xinian is like an archaeologist now, wanting to study everything he sees.He turned a blind eye to the official documents and secret letters on the table, and was fascinated by the sheathed sword.

"What are you looking at?"

Xie Jingyuan's strange and cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, and a timid person might have a heart attack from fright.

Chu Xinian took his time, turned around and smiled at Xie Jingyuan who was recuperating on the bed: "Although this sword is sheathed, General, it is unstoppable in its murderous aura. It can be placed in the inner hall to suppress evil spirits."

This can't help but remind people of rumors.It is said that Xie Jingyuan was seriously ill and coughed up blood because of his heavy murder and tens of thousands of dead souls.

"There are thousands of evil spirits, how can a sword be able to suppress them?" Xie Jingyuan seemed to be dozing off, but in fact his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he had been secretly watching Chu Xinian's every move.

Regardless of whether the other party is a secret agent or not, just the four words "Quyang Hou's Mansion" make it difficult for him to separate the relationship.

"Indeed, the general is right."

Chu Xinian was already sure that the secret letter memorial in this room was of no value.The books on the carved shelf are brand new, and the ink marks on the covers of the letters piled up on the table are old, from last year.The drawer was not locked, so naturally it couldn't contain anything important.

The only valuable thing is the Luoyuan sword.

Chu Xinian simply gave up the idea of ​​obtaining any information from this room, and didn't take a second look.

Xie Jingyuan didn't like being waited upon. He coughed constantly, frowned and propped himself up with his hands, and was about to pour a glass of water, but someone had already done this before him: "General, drink some water."

Probably Xie Jingyuan was very thin, and Chu Xinian's hands looked stronger than his.The slender fingertips held a sky-blue teacup, and the mist curled up, which was very beautiful.

Xie Jingyuan didn't answer.

When normal people encounter this kind of marriage, they don't talk about making a scene, but they will never smile like Chu Xinian.It seemed that what he married was not Yan Luo, the ghost face, but a stunning beauty.

Xie Jingyuan suddenly grabbed Chu Xinian's wrist, his eyes were sinister and vicious, making people terrified: "Do you believe that I killed you?"

There was no servant in the room, Chu Xinian should have escaped in fright, but he just looked down at his hand and reminded: "General, my hand hurts."

Xie Jingyuan was taken aback, and subconsciously relaxed.

Chu Xinian stuffed the warm teacup into Xie Jingyuan's palm, still so refined and refined: "Why is the general so angry, but what did I do wrong?"

Xie Jingyuan patted his hand down slowly, inevitably feeling like he was punching the cotton, the opponent was neither painful nor itchy, and he had nowhere to exert force.

"You're not wrong, I'm just sick."

Xie Jingyuan was born with a wicked nature, so he explained his behavior just now in such an understatement, and he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.He seemed to have expected that Chu Xinian would not have the guts to do something wrong, so he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Xie Jingyuan is a husband and wife, according to the rules, he should serve Chu Xinian, but now it's the other way around.

"It's cold today, general, take a good rest."

Chu Xinian didn't do any other strange moves.He tucked the quilt up for Xie Jingyuan with concern, and left the room with an excuse on the pretext of looking at lunch.

On the eaves of the porch hung the red lanterns for the wedding day, swaying in the cold wind, the red was dismal.The viewing lake in the distance is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, with occasional ripples that quickly disappear without a trace.

The mansion was lifeless, as if dying of illness like Xie Jingyuan.It is inevitable that the living will be three-pointed with death.

Yunque had been guarding the door the whole time, seeing that Chu Xinian had pushed the door out safely, he let go of his hanging heart.She stepped forward and called out hesitantly: "Master..."

Can't hide worry in his eyes.

Chu Xinian said soothingly: "It's nothing, let's go to the back kitchen to see how the lunch preparations are going."

Jiuyong guarded the door with a sword, motionless, as cold as a deep.Hearing this, he glanced at Chu Xinian, then looked away lightly, and continued to guard the gate.

Skylark really hated this black guy, with a dead face hanging like a door god.If it wasn't for protecting Chu Xinian, she wouldn't be guarding the door with this kind of person.

After walking far away, Yunque complained to Chu Xinian in a low voice: "Master, it's really not suitable to stay here for a long time. The man who just guarded the gate is too bloody, I'm afraid he will kill a lot."

"Who?" Chu Xinian realized who she was talking about, and smiled, "You mean Jiuyong? Don't worry, he won't do anything."

This person is also a supporting role in "Qianqiu Fenghou".If Xie Jingyuan is the prince's confidant, then Jiu Yong is Xie Jingyuan's confidant.He was rescued by Xie Jingyuan on the battlefield. After that, he recognized him as the master and was willing to be driven. Later, when he rebelled with Xie Jingyuan, he died in the hands of King Jin.

Xie Jingyuan's wish represented his wish in a sense.As long as Xie Jingyuan doesn't open his mouth, Jiuyong will not do anything superfluous except guarding the gate.

Yunque had no choice but to swallow the words, but when she saw Chu Xinian walking towards the back kitchen, she couldn't hold back and said, "My lord, you have a noble status, why go to such a dirty place."

Chu Xinian only replied four words: "Just curious."

He was indeed very curious about Xie Jingyuan's illness.

In the original work of "The Marquis of Qianqiu", he did write about the plot of Xie Jingyuan's serious illness, but it was because of an old disease caused by fighting with his life on the battlefield, not because of some grievances.

But now Xie Jingyuan is coughing up blood every day, his brows are turning blue, his lips are dark purple, and his blood is black, which is more like a poisoning disease.

When Chu Xi came here, he heard some gossip.It is said that Xie Jingyuan's illness has lasted for a year. At the beginning, he was dizzy, with chest tightness and shortness of breath. Later, he coughed up blood and was afraid of the cold.

One year, getting worse.

Chu Xinian could only come to the conclusion of chronic poisoning, and one of the easiest ways to poison was through meals.After all, eating is something that people must do every day in order to survive.

The chubby chef is cooking in the back kitchen.She wore a cloth towel to cover her hair, and the iron pan and spoon weighing several kilograms seemed light in her hands, and it was no problem to kill pigs and cut meat.

Chu Xinian looked outside the door for a while, and suddenly began to believe what Yunque said that the house was full of experts.He stepped in, and his snow-colored white shirt looked out of place with the oily smoke around him.

The busy servants in the back kitchen were stunned for a moment when they saw this, and when they realized it, they wanted to kneel down to salute, but they were stopped by Chu Xinian: "It's okay, you are busy with your work, I just came to take a look."

He was gentle and polite, and when he smiled, he was like a spring breeze blowing on his face. After speaking, he really stood there and watched the cook cook, as if he really just came to "watch".

The manager of the back kitchen looked embarrassed: "Young master is a noble person, why should you step on this dirty place and ruin your clothes?"

King Jin and the crown prince are sworn enemies. Strictly speaking, Chu Xinian is also from King Jin's side.He came to such a sensitive place as the back kitchen for no reason, and no one would be able to bear it if he secretly poisoned and did something wrong.

Chu Xinian ignored it, and instead asked an irrelevant question: "Is your meal also cooked here?"

The steward was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and nodded, "Master Hui, of course it is."

Chu Xinian said: "Then what do you do with the general's leftover food?"

The steward didn't understand why he asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully, and smiled: "The general's food is all expensive, it's a pity, if the master can't finish it, the rest will naturally be rewarded to us servants. "

Chu Xinian knew this, so it was safer to just come here to make sure.He saw dried chilies drying in the basket next to him, so he took a few and said casually, "The general has lost his appetite, so you can cook some light dishes."

The steward kept saying yes, and sent him out of the door like a Buddha.

Chu Xinian took a small bite of the dried chili in his hand, and found that the ancient chili was not much different from the modern one, so he stuffed the rest into the sachet around his waist.

Seeing this, Yunque cautiously asked: "Young Master, are you hungry? This servant will go and bring you some refreshments."

I can't eat chili no matter how hungry I am, it's still dry.

But Chu Xinian said: "No problem, let's go back to the room."

He has now been able to rule out the possibility of food poisoning.

In view of certain ancient rules, what the master can't finish eating will be directly rewarded to the servants.If Xie Jingyuan was poisoned by food, then the servants below must have symptoms similar to him.

But Chu Xinian asked just now, and everyone in the back kitchen was free from illness and disaster.And the shortest one has been done for five years, and the longest one has been done for ten years, and they are all confidantes who are unlikely to betray.

Then, the poison will only be placed in a place that only Xie Jingyuan can touch, so as to avoid the possibility of poisoning others by mistake.

This place was nothing but a bedroom, he thought.

So just as Xie Jingyuan lay down, before he had time to rest, he saw Chu Xinian go and come back again, pushing the door open and coming back.He didn't think that this wealthy young man who was as white as a handful of snow could stir up any earth-shattering situation, although he was on guard, he had no fear.

Xie Jingyuan stared at Chu Xinian with hidden interest in his eyes, intending to see what he was going to do.

However, Chu Xinian just found a place to sit on the low couch outside, patted the pillow, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Xie Jingyuan: "..."

Chu Xinian put his hands behind his head, although he closed his eyes, there seemed to be another pair of eyes behind his back, knowing that Xie Jingyuan was staring at him, he said to himself: "Lunch will take a while, the general can rest first."

As for him, he would naturally have to sleep for a while, so it was his afternoon nap.

Chu Xinian slept very seriously, as if he was doing some experiment.He tried to slow his breathing, forcing himself to fall asleep.However, within an hour, he woke up with palpitations, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

"..."

Chu Xinian slowly opened his eyes, keenly aware of something strange.He pinched his pulse, counted silently for 60 seconds, and then recorded the number of heartbeats.Going back and forth like this ten times, I finally found that my heartbeat was speeding up without a trace, and a cold light flashed quietly in my eyes.

This room is really weird!

Chu Xinian sat up from the couch with a bang, he turned his head and saw Xie Jingyuan staring at him, paused, and chuckled: "What is the general staring at me for?"

Born to look like a disaster.

Xie Jingyuan was simply idle and wanted to see what kind of tricks Chu Xinian was playing.However, the other party slept for an hour, and he just stared at it for an hour.Now that he was caught straight, he didn't feel embarrassed.

"Naturally looking at your face,"

Xie Jingyuan showed that unpredictable gloomy expression again. He casually touched the mask on his face, and smiled at Chu Xinian, "No time is like jade, and it's as bright as the moon. Now, what should I do if I accidentally get stabbed a few times?"

His tone was worried, as if he was really worried for Chu Xinian.

Chu Xinian didn't care, he found out that Xie Jingyuan liked to scare people very much.Hearing this, he slightly raised his eyebrows, and smiled, "Isn't it better that I am more compatible with the general?"

Xie Jingyuan was choked by him again and couldn't speak.

The system also discovered that Chu Xinian always likes to flirt, the kind that flirts invisible.It lay on Chu Xinian's shoulder, and quietly reminded: [Dear host, don't have feelings for the mission target]

Chu Xinian was startled: "Emotions? What do you mean?"

【Love】The system said, 【Don't produce that kind of...】

It managed to organize the language before expressing the meaning of this complicated sentence clearly.

【The feeling that you can’t live without the other person...】

Otherwise, when the host completes the task and leaves this world, it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Chu Xinian wasn't worried about this, he looked thoughtfully at the three-legged incense tripod with gold and silver chi pattern in the center of the room, and replied casually, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

In his heart, there is no love.

Xie Jingyuan obviously didn't have such a person in his heart.

Apart from saving Xie Jingyuan, Chu Xinian's goal is to study the history of this world by the way, nothing else.Just like his previous works, the protagonist only has a career line.

What is the love line?Can I eat it?

The system said in a relieved tone, and rubbed against his shoulders: [Hey, I'm relieved~]

Chu Xinian gently waved it away, and said the most ruthless words in the gentlest tone: "Don't touch me, thank you."

硌人.

system:【……】

While Chu Xinian was investigating the abnormalities in the room, Mrs. Mei had already handed over a sign and entered the palace, begging to see Concubine Mei.

"...Xi'er has always been stubborn, so how can he be worthy of General Xie, Qi Dafei, I also ask the empress to turn one or two out of it, and speak out in front of the Holy One."

When Mei was in her boudoir in the past, she and the imperial concubine were close friends, but because of the difference in status today, it is inevitable to think twice and sincerely when speaking.

A gentle-looking woman in court dress sits at the top.Her color may not be perfect, but it is comfortable, and the whole set of Dongzhu hair makes the skin more radiant.Hearing the purpose of Mei's visit, he frowns: "This palace already knows about this matter, but the imperial decree has already been issued, how can it be changed? The Holy Majesty's words are golden, and there is no ceremony to take them back. I only hope that the two of them will live in harmony and respect each other as guests."

Concubine Mei Gui said these words, as if she hadn't said them.

Mei silently clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "The majesty offered the marriage at the beginning, but the courtier's wife did not agree, but I couldn't help but you persuaded me again and again, and then I agreed, then General Xie has a violent temper, how can Xi'er subdue it? "

After she finished speaking, she got up straight away, and knelt heavily on the ground: "For the sake of the same clan, you must think of a way. Jiao Ping is loyal to His Royal Highness King Jin, and the minister's wife also respects and loves Your Majesty. It's not a last resort, and I won't be brazen enough to go to the palace."

She has already moved out of Chu Jiaoping, so naturally Concubine Mei can't just sit idly by, Chu Jiaoping is now the most capable person under King Jin, she can only be drawn in, not alienated.

"What did Madam say?"

Concubine Mei glanced over, and the close female secretary immediately went down to help Mei up: "Xinian is also my nephew, so naturally I won't just sit idly by..."

She thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let Mother Ge go to the General's Mansion with the order of the palace, and let her teach General Xie how to be a husband and wife, and tame him a little bit."

The status of a man's wife is no different from that of a woman, and they must also abide by the three obediences and four virtues.Madam Ge is a court lady who specializes in teaching personnel affairs in the inner palace.

This is obviously not the answer Mei Shi wanted: "My wife has no such intention."

Concubine Mei sighed and comforted her: "Nurse Ge is a member of the palace, but if anything happens to Xi Nian, she will report it to the palace as soon as possible, Madam, there is no need to worry. General Xie doesn't look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face .More or less, I will be a little bit worried."

……

So the general's mansion ushered in an unexpected guest at night.

The author has something to say: Chu Xinian: In my heart, there are no men, no love.

Author of a dog blood: You have the final say on this, I have the final say, hee hee.
