After being scumbag with the paranoid villain, I failed to escape

Chapter 65 Receive the letter

Qu Xi took a deep breath, and after helping Lou Xue stand up, the first thing he did was to open the distance between the two of them, as if he was avoiding some monster.

This made Lou Xue's eyes look a little gloomy.

"song"

"Princess Eleven." Qu Xi interrupted her, pursed her lips and said with red ears, "I was so offended just now."

Lou Xue knew that it was wrong for her to be like Qu Xi just now, but she didn't know why, but she liked being close to Qu Xi, no matter before or now.

But now was not the time for her to think about these things. She could only suppress this weird thought, handed the letter in her hand to Qu Xi, and apologized: "I just wanted to dry it, but I didn't expect it."

There will be accidents.”

Qu Xi reached out to take the letter, and after briefly glancing at the contents, he smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it wasn't burned anyway, right?"

"But."

As if guessing what hypothesis Lou Xue might say, Qu Xi interrupted her and took her to sit on a low couch by the window. Then he turned to the inner room, brought in a small medicine box, and helped her apply the medicine on her hands.

Wound.

"Princess Eleven, you have a golden body, how can you put yourself in danger for a letter from a slave? Even if the letter is really burned, it will not matter. Usually there will be someone outside the palace who is responsible for copying and checking first.

The reason why the person who sent the letter in for the slave to read is just for the slave to confirm."

How could Lou Xue know this? When she heard that she was stupid, her round face turned red, like a ripe fruit.

"Moreover." When Qu Xi said this, he paused for a moment while using a cotton stick to smear Lou Xue's injuries. Danfeng looked at Lou Xue with an emotion that was hard to see clearly in his eyes, "With ten

The relationship between a princess and a slave really ruins this letter, so what's the harm?"

He especially remembered that if Lou Xue had not secretly brought him back to Xueying Palace after being beaten and dying, treated his injuries and illnesses, and helped him save his life, he would never have been in the position he is today.

Lou Xue knew what Qu Xi meant, and after a moment of sweetness because Qu Xi specifically emphasized the unusual relationship between her and him, she quickly stopped worrying about the matter and asked him what was written in the letter.

But there is someone who needs her help.

After the two got to know each other, when Lou Xue knew that Qu Xi wanted to climb up, she had already begun to provide him with conveniences overtly and covertly.

Just because even if she is not favored because her biological mother is just a palace maid, she is of royal blood anyway, so she is still qualified to go to some necessary royal banquets and places.

It can be said that most of Qu Xi's success today is due to her.

Therefore, she would also inquire about some of the things that Qu Xi sometimes did.

Hearing her ask about the letter, Qu Xi got up and closed the doors and windows more tightly in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears. Then he got closer to Lou Xue, lowered his voice and told her what was written in the letter.

"It's a letter sent by His Highness the Fifth Prince. The letter asks what the current state of the court is like and what are the gateways that facilitate the transportation of bluestones."

"Your Majesty, Fifth Prince, you mean, Fifth Emperor Brother Lou Huai?" No wonder Lou Xue was so surprised. After all, Lou Huai's funeral was held not long ago, and she attended it.

I never thought that he was not dead and had even gotten in touch with Qu Xi.

"So, I was extremely shocked when I received the letter. After all, I fell from such a height as Baihe Mountain. Even the carriage was broken into countless pieces, let alone a human being."

While sighing, Qu Xi picked up the teapot prepared by his servants early in the morning and helped Lou Xue and himself to pour tea. Listening to the sound of the water column hitting the wall of the teacup as the tea poured into it, he continued: "But this is also a good thing, after all.

The favor I owe to General Gong has not been fully repaid, and it will be the same when it is transferred to His Highness the Fifth Prince."

When Lou Xue rescued Qu Xi, the sixth finger of Qu Xi's right hand was cut off by himself, which was actually the best ending at that time.

It is said that Zhuo Zhaoyi, who was pregnant in the palace, was frightened by the sight of Qu Xi's sixth finger, causing her to have a miscarriage. Emperor Long Yan was furious and immediately ordered Qu Xi to be executed.

Fortunately, the old general Gong Congde, who had returned to the court after winning the battle, came to the palace to receive a reward, came to help, and Qu Xi was able to survive by amputating his sixth finger.

Later, Qu Xi, who was tortured and half-dead, was rescued by Lou Xue.

So now that Gong Congde is dead and Lou Huai, whom he considered his adopted son, is in trouble, Qu Xi will naturally not stand idly by.

After reading the contents of the letter, Qu Xi confirmed it, threw it into the charcoal stove nearby and watched it slowly being devoured by tongues of flames, turning into ashes and asked Lou Xue: "When did the Ninth Princess go to the Maple Leaf Water Pavilion? Recently, she and I

Who is closer, can Princess Eleven know?"

Lou Xue took the teacup handed over by Qu Xi carefully, so as not to touch the knot that Qu Xi had just tied on her hand. She pondered for a moment, tried her best to avoid stuttering, and gave her answer.

"Just when the homing pigeon flew to the Maple Leaf Waterside Pavilion, I happened to be thinking about going to the Maple Leaf Waterside Pavilion to find some fallen maple leaves and use them as bookmarks. I never thought that I would bump into the Nine Emperor Sisters.

The scene of catching a homing pigeon."

"As for whom she has been closer to recently, it seems that apart from staying in the palace of her biological mother, the Imperial Concubine, every day, she doesn't go to other places very often."

After struggling to finish this long paragraph, Lou Xue found that her stuttering was lighter than before, and a look of joy filled her round face.

Qu Xi also noticed this change, and after feeling happy for Lou Xue, she pressed her right index finger on the side of the teacup, as if she had guessed something, and wrote a reply in front of Lou Xue without any hesitation.

At this time, the servants who went to get the materials also came over. Qu Xi personally selected some materials for Lou Xue that matched her skin color and sent her away. Then he stuffed the written reply into the mailbox tied to the pigeon's foot and got a new one.

Tuck the lid of the mail box and release the homing pigeon.

By the time Lou Huai saw the carrier pigeon again and received a reply, it was already two days later.

At this time, he had just been brought back from Changsu Jiangyi in the City of Eternal Cold, and had done some research on local water transportation news to deal with Xie Shiyun's second brother, Xie Youji, whom he was going to meet tomorrow.

Zuo Weiyue had just returned from taking care of the vegetable garden when she saw the carrier pigeon flying back. She didn't even bother to wipe the dirt on her face, and quickly walked to the low table where Lou Huai was sitting, and leaned her little head over to read the content of the letter.

As usual, after seeing a bunch of figures that looked like ghostly symbols that she didn't recognize, she belatedly remembered that they were some kind of sinister symbol. She could only subconsciously put her elbow on Lou Huai's shoulder and look at him sideways.

She originally wanted to ask him what was written on it, but when she turned around, she realized that the distance between her and him was frighteningly close.

Not only could she clearly see the tiny fuzz on his face, she could even feel his warm breath spraying on her face.

A female goose who has no sense of distance in daily life.
