The three of them walked towards the main entrance together. The gate of Xueqinghe's mansion was always open, as if it was opened for them. An old man with the appearance of a housekeeper walked out of it as if by coincidence, and said with a salute: "The three should be Miss Ye, Miss Ling and Mrs. Young Master Ling, His Royal Highness has been waiting in the living room for a long time, please follow me."

Following the old man, the three of them entered the mansion of the First Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The mansion can be roughly divided into two parts, one part is the garden, and the other part is the super large villa in the middle of the garden, which is four stories high and very neat.

Looking at the scenery in the garden like a horse watching a flower, the three of them walked into the middle building, followed the old man to a room on the first floor, and above the door of this room hung a sign that said "living room." "Three-character plaque.

In the room, Xue Qinghe was sitting on the sofa. When he saw the three of them coming, he immediately stood up, completely disregarding himself as a prince, and jokingly said: "The three are finally here. Immediately "inspect" or rest in this hall for a while? "

Chapter 69: Suspicious

Hearing Xue Qinghe's joking words, Qian Renxue also replied decently: "It's very rude to make His Highness wait for such a long time. How can I make His Highness wait any longer? Everything is up to His Highness's arrangements."

Xue Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, seemingly just expressing his appreciation for Qian Renxue's decent performance.

But in the process of nodding, his gaze unnaturally swept across the whole body of Qian Renxue and Ye Ruoyan.

Ye Ruoyan, who was careless, and Qian Renxue, who maintained his superficial dignity, didn't notice.

Once again, Xue Qinghe's subtle gaze fell into Yang Bi's eyes.

Because of last night's worries, Yang Bi used "appearance and everything" when he entered the mansion, for fear that he might miss some small details.

As for the look in Xue Qinghe's eyes just now, Yang Bi had seen it before, it was the one Yang Bu saw when they met for the first time last night.

In different scenes, Xue Qinghe looked at Qian Renxue with the same eyes. It can be confirmed that this way of seeing and observing people is definitely beyond the scope of "looking at".

Thinking of this, Yang Bu had a possibility in his mind, but he couldn't be sure yet.The possibility that this is some kind of habitual action of Xue Qinghe cannot be ruled out now.

After that abnormal gaze, Xue Qinghe personally took Qian Renxue, Yang Bi and Ye Ruoyan to visit the entire mansion, as well as the music room where the musicians usually practice and create. The language and tone of the whole process were very graceful.

Both Ye Ruoyan and Qian Renxue seemed to relax a lot.One may be relieved, and the other may be relieved to do Xueqinghe.Because a typical, corporal-like person isn't that hard to play.

But Yang Bi's doubts, vigilance and doubts about him did not subside.

One is because, although during the visit, Xue Qinghe did not show similar eyes again.But to be precise, it was Xue Qinghe who never set his eyes on Qian Renxue and Ye Ruoyan even once.

The second reason is that he felt that Xue Qinghe's performance was a bit too much, like a corporal who deliberately showed himself to be a virtuous corporal, but "down" was a bit too much.

No matter how courteous and virtuous a corporal is, a high-ranking person will always have his own tolerance, and he can lower his posture and attitude appropriately.

But it is absolutely impossible to put it on the same level as the person you want to recruit.Because the superior is here to recruit people to do things for him, not to find people to cooperate with him.

Xue Qinghe, as the great prince, in most cases regards the ninety-five supreme position as his goal.Even if he himself is not willing, Emperor Xue Ye and some courtiers will definitely ask him to do so.

After more than ten years, the habits formed by Xue Qinghe should have the bottom line that a future emperor should have.

If Xue Qinghe just showed the three of them a brief tour of his mansion, then that's fine, it's nothing to show the friendship of the landlord.

However, Xue Qinghe focused on the objects in his mansion, big or small, that had something special about them. When he brought them in front of one person, he would tell their origins, regardless of whether Yang Bu and the others were interested or not. Very curious.If he hadn't been carrying it all the time, he would be like a salesperson selling products.

Moreover, there is a good saying, "Those who make great things don't care about the small things", "small things" are naturally not "details", and "not sticking to the small things" means not caring about the small things in life.

Because human energy is limited, if you spend too much energy on small things in life, you will have no energy to spend on big things.

Xue Qinghe was able to introduce those minutiae to the three people, either he is a person who is not interested in big things, he does not want to be involved in the political vortex, and he is usually studying those small things, or he is deliberately expressing himself Pay attention to details and do everything in detail to reduce other people's defense against him.

Because people often associate the trait of "attention to details" with other good traits, making others feel that he is a gentle, careful and good man.

Moreover, the weirdest thing was that after Xue Qinghe showed the three of them around the entire mansion, night had already fallen.

Yang Bi reckoned the size of Xueqinghe's mansion. If you don't count the garden, but just count the house, it covers an area of ​​about half a 400-meter stadium, and it's four floors high, so it must be quite big.But it will never take a whole afternoon, nearly six hours to visit.

What's more, Xue Qinghe didn't have a problem with his brain, and he didn't take the three of them to places that were not suitable for introduction, such as the kitchen, toilet, and servant's dormitory, as well as places with privacy such as private bedrooms.

But those places also occupy a lot of space in this big villa.On the contrary, it seemed that Xue Qinghe did not take the three of them to many places, and the distance they traveled was not much, and most of the time was spent on introducing various objects.

From this point of view, Yang Bi can be sure that Xue Qinghe's actions are just delaying time, and his purpose is absolutely impure.

Sure enough, after Xue Qinghe took the three of them back to the living room, he glanced at the moon in the sky from the window, and said to the three of them apologetically, "I'm really sorry, it's so late, it's all because I got excited and introduced those Artwork takes a little longer."

"Your Highness is serious. It is already a great honor for us to take the three of us to visit the mansion in person. How could it be His Highness's problem?" Qian Renxue maintained her image of a lady who knew how to behave.

Xue Qinghe smiled at Qian Renxue, then turned his gaze to the other person, and said, "Why don't I ask the cook to add a few more dishes, and the housekeeper make more arrangements. Tonight, the three of you will stay at my house for one night, how about it?" ?”

"The Eldest Prince invites us, of course we should be respectful and obedient." Ye Ruoyan didn't realize anything, and completely took Xue Qinghe's words as kindness.

Hearing Ye Ruoyan's words, the corners of Xue Qinghe's mouth rose a little more, squatted down and looked at Yang Bi and asked, "Little Brother Ye, what do you think?"

Yang Bi didn't seem to show too much subjective initiative in front of Xue Qinghe, and looked directly at Qian Renxue, as if everything was based on Qian Renxue.

Xue Qinghe felt that he had figured out what kind of child Yang Bi was, so he followed Yang Bi's gaze and turned to Qian Renxue: "Miss Ling, what do you think?"

"If the eldest prince invites you, our siblings are willing." Qian Renxue glanced at Ye Ruoyan as she spoke.

Qian Renxue and Ye Ruoyan didn't refuse, Xue Qinghe had a happy face, and immediately went out to greet the housekeeper, who was the old man who greeted Yang Bu and them earlier.

After being told some things, the old man walked into the living room and said to the three people: "Three guests, it will be a little while after the dinner in the kitchen. I don't know if the three of you should go to the guest room to rest first, or go directly to the dining room." waiting?"

Chapter 70: Impure Purposes

"Then let's go to the restaurant, it would be rude to ask the master to wait." Qian Renxue made the decision and made a choice.

"Those three guests, please follow me." The old man made a gesture of invitation, and led the three of them to the restaurant.

Although Yang Bi and the others had already understood the general structure of the house from Xue Qinghe's previous introduction, they naturally knew where the restaurant was.

But the rules are like this, guests are not allowed to run around in the host's house unless they are familiar to a certain extent.

Just as the old man said, not long after he came to the restaurant and sat down, the servants brought individual delicacies to the table, and Yang Bu and the others didn't have to wait for a long time at all.

When the dishes were served, Xue Qinghe also happened to walk into the dining room. He seemed to have taken care of himself briefly before coming to the banquet.

"Three, don't be too polite, just try the cooking skills of my chef." Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

Qian Renxue and Ye Ruoyan nodded slightly, picked up the tableware, and began to eat very gracefully.

Yang Bi was slightly different. When he picked up the tableware, a dark green substance stuck to the tableware.Because there is only a thin layer, it is even more difficult to detect under the reflection of the metal.

This dark green thing is called qi poison, one of the unique skills of the Tang Sect. It is a poison mixed with qi, which is usually assisted by exercises and medicines. After practice, it can turn qi into poison at will.

Yang Bi doesn't fully trust Xue Qinghe now, who knows if he has tampered with the food?

Although this qi poison cannot completely remove the effects of all medicines, if there is a real problem with this dish.Whether it is poison or drugs, it will eventually weaken some of the effects of the drugs.

After eating for a while, Xue Qinghe said to Qian Renxue as if looking for a topic:

"Miss Ling, I don't know what are the advantages and disadvantages of the music room in my Prince's Mansion compared to Yuexuan's?"

According to the aristocratic etiquette of the Heaven Dou Empire, one should try not to make any noise when eating, and what to say should be discussed after the meal. Of course, ordinary people don't have so many things to do when they eat.

Therefore, Qian Renxue never expected that Xue Qinghe would take the initiative to break this routine.

Fortunately, the question Xue Qinghe asked was not tricky, and Qian Renxue replied: "The music room in His Highness's mansion and Yuexuan are also decorated according to the highest standard of the empire, so naturally they are the same."

"In this way, Ms. Ling is very satisfied..." Xue Qinghe turned her eyes to Ye Ruoyan as she spoke, "At the graduation dinner yesterday, Ms. Ye said she was worried about me, so I don't know what she thinks now? "

Ye Ruoyan's reaction was different from that of the decent Qian Renxue. She shook her head like a rattle and said, "Your Highness, you are wrong, I just said that I want to see what Axue can get." It doesn't mean that you have a problem!"

"Blue Gourd Sword Fairy"

As Ye Ruoyan, who had a slightly carefree personality, started to talk, the atmosphere during the dinner gradually became cheerful, and they chatted a few words, even Yang Bi, a seven-year-old child, also said a few words.

But even though the atmosphere was getting better and better, Yang Bi still didn't let go of his vigilance.After all, he had noticed things that Qian Renxue and Ye Ruoyan hadn't noticed before, so it was not so easy to relax in front of Xue Qinghe.

"No, if it's just like this, wouldn't he have to be led away by Xue Qinghe as the master?" Thinking of this in his heart, Yang Bi immediately took action.

When the dinner was halfway through, Yang Bu lowered his head and said to Xue Qinghe: "His Royal Highness, I am a little dizzy, can I go back to the guest room to sleep for a while."

Yang Bi originally planned to "report" to Qian Renxue first, and let Qian Renxue "apply" to Xue Qinghe, in order to strengthen his lack of "subjective initiative".

But after thinking about it, I am an early graduate of Yuexuan, and my discomfort is completely my own business. It seems a bit too much to ask Qian Renxue for everything, like a sister Baonan, which is even more suspicious .

In order to prevent Xue Qinghe from seeing anything wrong, Yang Bu also released the protection of liver wood qi and spleen earth qi, and scattered some of his qi poison into his body, which really made his body weak.

Of course, just because it is qi poison, Yang Biao can relieve it at any time.

Qian Renxue, Ye Ruoyan, and Xue Qinghe looked at Yang Bi almost at the same time. They didn't feel that Yang Bi had any abnormal symptoms before, but looking at it now, there was indeed something wrong.

"Little Brother Ling, since you're not feeling well, I'll ask the butler to take you to your guest room to rest." Xue Qinghe didn't notice any abnormalities in Yang Bi's body before, so he also thought that Yang Bi was simply tired and had no intention Ask the soul master of the healing department to show it to Yang Bi.

Yang Bi nodded, and after the old man who was the housekeeper walked in, he followed the old man to the second floor, and soon arrived at the guest room assigned to Yang Bi.

Entering the room, when the door was closed, the footsteps outside did not go away very quickly. Under the appearance of everything, Yang Bi judged that the old man seemed to have turned back, so he could only touch the qi poison first, and then immediately put on the bed in sheep's clothing , making some noises related to the bed quilt.

The old man stayed in front of the room for a while, Yang Bi estimated that it was about 5 minutes.He didn't leave slowly until he confirmed that Yang Bu had indeed gone to bed and fell asleep.

The old man looked quite young, and his figure was a bit stooped, but he controlled his footsteps very well.If there were no appearances, it would be difficult for Yang Bi to notice that he did not leave immediately.

After the old man really walked away, Yang Bi relaxed a little. Before that, Xue Qinghe and Xue Qinghe's subordinates were there all the time, so he had to hold back everything, which was really uncomfortable.

However, Yang Bu felt relaxed, but didn't stop. He clicked on the sun emblem, and took out a set of all black clothes and a mask that could cover the entire head except the eyes.

Originally, he wanted to prepare a set of night clothes, but due to his age and the lack of time, Yang Bi could only make do with the black clothes Qian Renxue gave him before, and the mask was made out of curtains last night.

Even with the phantom body barrier, which can hide his body shape, Yang Bu still has to be fully prepared, because the phantom body barrier is not without a way to break it.

With the back and forth of the old man just now, Yang Bi is now very sure that this Xue Qinghe is definitely not the pure and modest gentleman on the surface.

For a child like himself, or a child who hadn't exposed any problems before, Xue Qinghe actually asked his subordinates to confirm his behavior in such a detailed manner, most likely because he was about to achieve some goals tonight and had to control everyone's behavior. trend.

As for why they did it today, Yang Bu's inner expectation was that it was just a coincidence that the three of them just happened to bump into each other.But he knew in his heart that another reason was more likely.

Chapter 71: Secrets

Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack and see if we can find out what kind of medicine is sold in Xue Qinghe's gourd before he takes any action.

Normally, people keep their secrets as private as possible.

There is truth in the saying "the more dangerous the place, the safer".But it was more like a gamble out of desperation. With Xue Qinghe's identity, if there were any ulterior secrets, he should find a place that only he could enter, and protect him three layers inside and outside.

And for a prince of an empire, the only place he can come and go at will must be his bedroom.

Before, Xue Qinghe didn't mention where his room was, but Xue Qinghe took them to the first, second and third floors, but he hadn't been to the fourth floor. Yang Bi deduced that, as the master, his master bedroom must be It's on the fourth floor.

After changing his clothes and taking some precautionary measures, Yang Bi used the phantom barrier to hide his figure, then sneaked out of the room, tiptoed to the stairs, and after confirming that there was no one around, he quickly went up to the fourth floor.

I don't know if I don't come, but I was taken aback when I came, Yang Bi thought that the layout of the fourth floor should be similar to the first three floors.But when I went upstairs and looked back, I found something was wrong.

On the surface, the fourth floor is the same as the first few floors, it is still a long corridor to the end, but at the end of the long corridor there is no window facing the other end. Yang Biguang can see that the corridor on the fourth floor The length is much shorter than the first three layers.

But if Yang Bi remembered correctly, from the outside, the number and arrangement of windows on the fourth floor should be exactly the same as those on the first three floors.

Obviously, Xue Qinghe deliberately set aside a part of the fourth floor, and that part of the space did not have an entrance from the corridor.As for the windows repaired on the outside, they are just a cover for camouflage.

Yang barged to the wall at the end of the corridor, touched and knocked, but there was no additional sound coming from the other side of the wall, and judging from the sound of the knocking, the wall was quite thick.

There is no guarantee that the sound of your own knocking can be clearly transmitted to the other side.Even if there is any person or creature on the opposite side, if the strength is not enough, it will not be noticed at all.

"If the wall is not broken, this hidden place should only be entered from Xue Qinghe's bedroom." Yang Bi thought in his heart, and looked at the door closest to the wall.

Summoning the Iron Sand Martial Soul, Yang Bie stuffed it into the keyhole, and soon part of the iron sand changed to fit the shape of the key of the lock. During the process of slowly rotating in the direction, the remaining iron sand played the role of sound insulation. Effect.

Almost silently, Yang Bi opened the door of Xue Qinghe's bedroom.Although the surroundings were pitch black, Yang Bi could still see the magnificence of the room at first glance.

First of all, Yang Bi's feeling is just one word, big. As a person's bedroom, the area is actually much larger than the restaurant on the first floor.

Secondly, it is shining, even in the dark, Yang Bi can still see the moonlight reflected from all directions.And the things that reflect the moonlight are all kinds of gold decorations.

Whether it is furniture or walls, almost all the edges are decorated with a jaw-dropping amount of gold, and only the items that need comfort as the first characteristic, such as quilts, pillows, etc., do not use real gold. But there are still many patterns sewn with silk threads that are close to gold color.

Yang Bi calmed down and began to look for the secret door in his room to enter the hidden room.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch, the dinner in the restaurant had come to an end, and Qian Renxue gradually realized that something was not quite right.

After getting along day and night for a year, Qian Renxue knew that Ye Ruoyan was an extremely extroverted person, and after Xue Qinghe took the initiative to tease Ye Ruoyan, Ye Ruoyan did become the one who talked the most.

But with the passage of time, the frequency of Ye Ruoyan's speech gradually decreased. He obviously didn't drink alcohol, but his speech became more and more out of breath, and his figure seemed to be lost.

By now, when all the food was used up, Ye Ruoyan's eyelids were about to droop.

However, Xue Qinghe didn't seem to notice this situation, wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin, and then said: "Miss Ling, Miss Ye, dinner is over, let someone take you to the arranged room."

After speaking, Xue Qinghe walked out of the restaurant. Although his pace was not hurried, he walked quite decisively, creating a strong sense of separation from the "delicacy" shown before.

The most important thing is that it is far from time to go to bed

The maid walked in from the door immediately after Xue Qinghe left, and said to Qian Renxue and Ye Ruoyan respectively: "Miss Ling, Miss Ye, please follow me."

Qian Renxue had doubts in her heart, but she still chose not to move, and followed the maid to her room.

Ye Ruoyan did not lose her ability to move, she also stood up and followed Qian Renxue and the maid to leave the restaurant.
