Finally, after celebrating Empress Dowager Xia's birthday, Xiao Weixin returned home. Although his face looked unhappy, he rarely lost his temper. He closed his eyes and dozed off in the carriage all the way.
You Shu couldn't tell what his mood was and was somewhat worried.
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Xiao Weixin opened his eyes and looked over, then asked in a cold voice, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Did the king block your mouth?"
As soon as You Shu heard his angry words, he knew that he was in a bad mood, so he said carefully: "I don't have anything to say, I'm just worried about the prince."
"Worried?" Xiao Weixin seemed to feel like she had heard a joke. She leaned against the pillow with her arms around her chest and looked at him with a half-smile: "What are you worried about?"
You Shu whispered, "I just feel that the Queen Mother is going too far."
Xiao Weixin snorted, "You are just a shadow guard, what do you know?"
You Shu lowered his head, "Yes."
After a while of silence in the carriage, Xiao Weixin seemed impatient: "Why aren't you talking again?"
"I have nothing to say." You Shu sighed in his heart. The class gap was killing people, so how could he dare to say a word more
Xiao Weixin stared at his face for a long time, and suddenly said, "Since you have left the palace, take off your ugly mask. It makes me upset."
You Shu obediently raised his hand and took off the mask, revealing his face again. At that moment, the car seemed to light up. Xiao Weixin looked at his eyes lazily and had to admit that this man was indeed born with a good appearance, and everything seemed to be grown according to his preferences.
"How long have you been following Xie Feiyuan?" Xiao Weixin didn't know why there was no one in the carriage, but he started chatting with him.
You Shu did not dare to neglect a word and said cautiously: "In reply to your Highness, I have been following Master Yingshou since I was five years old, and it has been fourteen years now."
"You're only nineteen?" Xiao Weixin was a little surprised. "No wonder Xie Feiyuan always says you're a genius."
Xiao Weixin's official age is twenty-three, which is indeed young compared to You Shu.
After Xiao Weixin asked about his age, he stopped talking, and it sounded like he was just asking casually.
"What's that noise outside?"
When the carriage was halfway there, Xiao Weixin heard some noise, and You Shu lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
There was a tall man in exotic clothes standing on the street arguing with someone, occupying the middle of the road. The carriage could not pass and had to stop. You Shu took a look and replied, "Your Majesty, there seems to be someone causing trouble ahead. Do you want me to go and drive them away?"
Xiao Weixin waved his hand to signal him to go and solve it quickly, so You Shu lifted the door curtain and walked out.
He jumped off the carriage and walked forward a few steps. The tall man was still struggling with someone, speaking Mandarin with some unfamiliar language, and did not look like a person from the Central Plains.
"Who is so bold as to make a scene here and block my prince's way?" You Shu said loudly, "Get out of here!"
At this moment he suddenly became servile and started talking like those evil servants on TV, with a very imposing manner.
Xiao Weixin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in the car. This little shadow guard was really arrogant when he got angry.
The tall man also turned around and saw You Shu at a glance.
You Shu was stunned.
The man in front of him had an exotic face, with high eyebrows, deep eyes, and a straight nose. He also had a bit of wildness that only people from outside the Great Wall had. He didn't look like a Central Plains person at all. His skin was dark in color, and he was covered in strange gold ornaments, making him seem very rich.
The strangest thing is his pair of eyes, one blue and the other amber. They look weird and evil, yet charming and alluring in a different way, as if you would be sucked in if you looked at them for one more moment.
The man was also stunned when he saw You Shu. He had never seen such a good-looking person from the Central Plains.
However, You Shu had seen the world to some extent, and quickly came to his senses: "My prince wants to attack here, you should retreat quickly."
After hearing what he said, the Western Region man put away the surprise in his eyes and said in confusion: "I also want to leave, but they said I owed money and insisted on stopping me."
The thugs who were harassing him cursed, "You barbarian, you came to our restaurant to eat and didn't pay. Even if we report you to the king of heaven, it will be useless!"
"I really don't have any money." The man from the Western Regions said helplessly, "I live in the hostage house on that street. Otherwise, why don't you go to the Emperor of the Central Plains to ask for money?"
You Shu shuddered slightly, this is the future King of Xirong! ! ?
No wonder he always felt something was strange. Aren’t these eyes of different colors just like what was described in the book? How could he have almost forgotten such important information
You Shu stepped forward and said to the thugs, "How much does he owe you? Our prince paid it on his behalf."
When the thugs heard that someone was offering money, they were naturally willing to pay. You Shu readily gave them two taels of silver, but secretly cursed Su Tu in his heart, saying that he was a pig and wanted so much money after eating so much.
After sending those thugs away, he looked at Su Tu coldly: "Now that the matter has been resolved, please don't get in the way again, young master."
Unexpectedly, Su Tu regarded him as a savior, grabbed him by the hand and said earnestly: "May I know your name, beautiful lady?"
You Shu pulled out his sleeves, but before he could say anything, Xiao Weixin's voice came from the carriage:
"Aren't you coming up yet?"
"Yes." You Shu shook him off, strode forward and jumped onto the carriage.
The driver started the car again and moved forward slowly. When passing by Na Su Tu, Xiao Weixin happened to lift the curtain and looked out. The two men met each other's eyes from a few steps away.
Su Tu looked at Xiao Weixin with some surprise, with some interest in his eyes.
Xiao Weixin glanced at him expressionlessly, then coldly lowered the curtain, pretending not to see him.
"Remember to wear a mask when you go out with me next time." Xiao Weixin said coldly, "Show off."
You Shu had just forgotten about it and nodded obediently: "Yes."
Xiao Weixin thought of the scene just now and frowned and asked him: "Why did you pay for him in my name?"
Of course it's to do you a favor.
You Shu sighed, he knew where the plot was going. Although Xiao Weixin and Na Su Tu did not have much contact in the original novel, the twelfth prince was a very capable person. If they could cooperate, he felt that Xiao Weixin could avoid many detours.
Of course, this is just his selfish desire, and everything is decided by him on his own.
"I just think that the hostage doesn't seem to be a bad person. It is better to act in the name of the prince. If the emperor knows about it, he will reward you." You Shu explained in a low voice. No matter what, Su Tu is now under the jurisdiction of the dog emperor. Xiao Weishen has to deal with the trouble he caused. Xiao Weixin paid the bill for him, which solved Xiao Weishen's trouble. Of course, he would not say anything.
"Just that?" Xiao Weixin's face was full of disbelief, and he looked at You Shu indifferently for a long while.
You Shu gritted his teeth and nodded as usual. After all, his skillful expression was enough to cope with the situation, so Xiao Weixin couldn't tell anything.
Without waiting for his answer, Xiao Weixin snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
You Shu discovered that Xiao Weixin really liked to hum. What was the name of that song
Proud
Come to think of it, their prince is indeed arrogant.
He seemed mad at himself, though.
You Shu felt that he had made it big as he could actually make the protagonist angry because of him.
I feel a little proud when I think about it.
You Shu couldn't help but straighten his back.
The carriage slowly drove into the palace. Xiao Weixin got off the carriage and walked straight inside. Hua Chun trotted over to greet him and handed him the hand warmer first. However, You Shu was ignored and turned back to go to the Shadow Guard Camp.
Xiao Weixin glanced back and saw a little excitement in You Shu's steps.
He narrowed his eyes and became even more unhappy.
The Shadow Guard Battalion is located in the northwest corner of the palace. It looks like an ordinary attic, but in fact it contains secrets. They usually train in the East Garden and live in the West Wing. The basement is used as an interrogation room. If you are not an insider, you will easily be confused and lost by the strange magic set up inside.
It was already evening. Yingjiu and Yingsi were on duty. You Shu was eating in the cafeteria. Sometimes good looks can really make a difference. The cafeteria chef liked him the most and specially reserved the biggest braised duck leg for him. After thanking him, You Shu sat down to eat alone.
When Xie Feiyuan arrived, You Shu was chewing on a large duck leg. He walked over and sat down unceremoniously, "I heard that you made the prince angry again?"
"Again?" You Shu was puzzled. He chewed the duck meat and looked at him: "When have I ever made the prince angry?"
Xie Feiyuan rolled his eyes, "Stop talking nonsense. You often beat the prince to the ground during sparring. Do you know that the other brothers are scared to death?"
You Shu recalled and thought, didn’t the prince himself say that we are not allowed to let the water go
"Forget it." Xie Feiyuan had a headache, "I have a task for you. You go out tomorrow."
"You say." You Shu replied obediently.
Xie Feiyuan's task at hand requires him to travel. There is a severe drought in the north and many people have fled. Xiao Weijing needs to transport a pile of stockpiled grain. However, there are not enough people to escort them, so Xiao Weixin hands the matter over to Xie Feiyuan.
Xie Feiyuan felt that this matter was very important, and after much thought, he felt that it would be most appropriate to entrust it to You Shu.
"Don't worry." You Shu drank the rice porridge calmly, "I will definitely complete the tasks that the prince values."
Xie Feiyuan nodded, "Among so many children, you are the only one who is truly loyal to the prince. I will be relieved to have you take over in the future."
He patted You Shu's shoulder, stood up and left the cafeteria.
You Shu ate dinner alone, then took a bathtub to the bathhouse of the Shadow Guard Camp and took a cold shower. Although taking a cold shower in winter is unimaginable for most people, it is a common occurrence for the Shadow Guards, and it is also a kind of training.
It was already dark when he returned to his room after taking a shower. You Shu went back to his room, closed the door, turned on the light, and dragged out the small diary that he hadn't written for a long time from under the bed.
'X year X month X day cloudy.'
'Today is my lucky day. Not only did I meet the heroine I've always dreamed of, but I also met the second male lead... let's just call him the second male lead.'
'The heroine is worthy of being my goddess. She is just as good as I thought. Although the plot is a little wrong, this little accident should not have any impact.'
"And the prince finally said more than ten words to me today, which is very memorable."
'Alas, my mentality is becoming more and more like that of an old father. Every day I look forward to the heroine and our prince falling in love as soon as possible. As the fan leader, I am very anxious.'
"I will also appear handsome tomorrow."
