"Master, please have some tea." Xiyan held the teacup in front of him dully.

It felt like she was back to how she was when she first saw her.

The "seven souls" are the seven spirits in the lungs: dead dog, lying dead, sparrow Yin, swallowing thief, non-poison, decontamination, and odor master.And the dead dog soul is the dominant function of climbing outwards. If there is no dead dog, the six souls will have no driving force.

"Xi Yan, if you were given a chance to be reborn, would you be willing to accept it?" Perhaps rebirth was the best choice for her. It was better to start a new life and have a new life than to be bound and free by him all the time.

"But at the command of the master."

It's just that he could no longer hear her own thoughts, and suddenly felt that his questioning was superfluous.

A ghost has wandered around the world for too long and has been contaminated with too much filth from the world. Before being reborn, it must bathe in fire, wash away the lead, and forget all the magic skills it has learned through cultivation, and return to a mortal physique.

"Ah!!!" Xiyan screamed out in excruciating pain, she could feel the piercing pain all over her body.

Through the mirror, he clearly saw an extremely distorted and delicate face, and he couldn't help but think back to the first time he met her. At that time, she also experienced such pain, but I'm afraid this time it will be more intense. The fire burned not only her people, but even her soul was baptized together.

Qiu Sheng's slender fingertips slightly touched the mirror, wishing he could go through the mirror and suffer the fire for her.

"Sorry, I hope that after you reincarnate, you can find a good family and not suffer any more..."

As soon as the prime minister's mansion posted the announcement of the recruitment of maids and servants, many people came to apply for the job, and the prime minister's mansion was crowded.The first reason is to covet his influence in the court, and the second is to covet the wealth in his hands.

A woman in plain clothes walked slowly into the prime minister's mansion on lotus steps.She has neither heavy makeup nor luxurious blouses, only a slender and well-fitting body.If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as usual.The neck is extended to show off the items, and the quality is revealed.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this woman. She went to the aunt who was in charge of selecting the maids, filled out the interview form, and entered the interview area to wait.

Not surprisingly, this simple and elegant woman was selected.

Then, after a few days...

A white and tender bare hand quietly poured the powder into the wine glass in front of him, poured the wine and handed it to Prime Minister You.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister You didn't reach out to take the wine glass, but clasped her wrist: "How can a daughter of a poor family who works as a maid have such smooth hands."

The people at the scene couldn't hide their exclamations.

At this time, a woman who looked similar to her grabbed Prime Minister You's arm and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Master, please spare my sister. She is young and knows nothing. If she offends you, this servant is willing to help her." Take the blame."

"Sister, don't do this." The woman who was caught by the wrist hurried over and tried to pull her up.

"The two of you will be dragged out together, and we will interrogate and serve them later according to the family law of the house." Furious, Prime Minister You threw the woman away, ignored their begging for mercy, and let the servants drag them out.

"Sure enough, small tricks can't fool him. It seems that it's time to use your brain." The woman's voice seemed to have infinite magic power, bewitching people's hearts.

"It's obviously a trick that is known to be unreliable, and he is trying to deceive this thing, unless he happens to be fooled by a donkey kicking his head." The woman who replied spoke like a babble.

"Originally, Prime Minister You planned to torture them to extract a confession, but luckily they found a chance to change back into their real bodies and escape." The woman slowly lifted her right leg and rested it on her left leg, and her skirt opened a seam and slid down both sides, revealing a pair of well-proportioned clothes. Her smooth and tender calf, the red rope tied to the lotus feet hangs with warm and moist jade, just like her icy muscles revealing an alluring color.

The woman seated opposite inevitably stared at her legs: "Where is Prime Minister Zuo?"

"Prime Minister Zuo, as expected, they are easy to deal with. After they left from Prime Minister You, they took the opportunity to join Prime Minister Zuo." The woman suddenly raised her tall wrists, her breasts bulged through her shirt, and she just stretched her waist , but with endless style.

Her gaze quietly shifted from the lower body to the upper body, and a round object appeared on the slightly opened skirt of the woman opposite: "Yes, yes, it is perfect."

"I don't know if the perfect in sister's mouth refers to the plan, or me?" The woman rested her chin with one hand, and kept switching her legs and feet.

She looked straight at the constantly crossed legs, and her eyes sometimes swam to the dark area of ​​the thighs revealed when changing legs: "Of course it's human beauty... no... no no, it's planned beauty."

She slammed the table and straightened her clothes: "If you look at it again, I will charge you."

She was taken aback by the act of slapping the table, and looked again at the charming face of the woman opposite: "Then, what do you want to do next?" She has a good body and beautiful face, and she feels like she has won the whole world, but it's a pity that she is not herself.

"Next, I have my own arrangements, so I'll take this pack of medicine. Don't forget your promise."

Prime Minister You raised his glass to Xi Yun humbly and unashamedly: "I offer a cup to the emperor. The emperor has been on the throne for a long time. It is really my fault for not inviting the emperor to the mansion to celebrate earlier."

"Today is Aiqing's birthday, so don't say such polite words." Xiyun also raised his glass and said, "Come and do it." If it wasn't for building a good relationship with the prime minister and getting to know his connections, he didn't want to come at all. !

Prime Minister You is surprisingly young, at first glance he appears to be nearly thirty.He has a stalwart figure, his facial features are as sharp as a knife carving, his eyes are like warm sunshine, warm and gentle, and there is always a faint smile on his mouth.Just being stared at by him, it's like being bathed in sunlight, making it difficult for Xiyun to associate him with treacherous rats.And the pearl earring on his right ear appropriately adds a touch of bohemian to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for driving the mansion to make this mansion flourish. Good job." After drinking, he said again: "Today is such an auspicious day, I ordered my servants to prepare a show to cheer up the fun. I hope all guests will enjoy watching it." After speaking, he clapped his palms twice.

A masked woman stepped onto the stage with light steps and a slender waist, and sat on the prepared chair.Although there is a tulle to cover her face, her willow eyebrows and almond eyes can still be seen, and she seems to be sending glances secretly.The woman puts the red sandalwood lute on her upturned beautiful legs, and slowly turns the shaft to pluck the strings, and there is love before the tune is formed.

"Is there a Danqing hand who can draw lovesickness for me?

Can you be affectionate and think for me?

Even if it is painted in hand, lovesickness is hard to draw.

Even if you are passionate, it's hard to express your feelings. "

The sound of the red sandalwood pipa is as sweet and soft as honey, like the whispers of a lover lingering in the ears, while the human voice, like the jingle of a brook, is clear but has a charming magic power, making the listener addicted to it.

The right hand that slaps the strings sometimes picks and sweeps, and cooperates with the left hand's chanting and sliding notes, making the sound of the piano gradually change from gentle to exciting, and the transition of ups and downs is so natural.

"I only hope to send my thoughts to the moon in the sky,

I only hope to send my love to my sweetheart,

I'm afraid that the moon is in the sky, don't pity lovesickness,

I'm afraid that my sweetheart doesn't understand love. "

The singing stopped, but the sound of the piano is still there, accompanied by her soft voice:

"The river is always practiced, the green mountains are always there, the face has not changed, and the infatuation has not changed."

At the end of the song, her bewildering voice still lingered in her mind, as if she was in the artistic conception of the song, unable to calm down for a long time.Therefore, none of the people present responded immediately after she finished singing, and the corners of her mouth under the tulle seemed to be raised.

She stood up, hugged the piano and bowed slightly: "It's a shame."

After the right prime minister recovered, he clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, it's so beautiful." Immediately afterwards, everyone also gave warm applause.

The wrong shadow hiding in the dark was not affected by her, and only frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

Xiyun was so intoxicated that she didn't know how to express her mood at the moment, she could only think of one sentence: "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

"Back to the emperor, my family's name is Xiangxiang, which is the god of Xiangshui—the Xiangjun's Xiang." Xiangxiang walked to the main table, and she could faintly see the smile under her veil. "I will pour wine for everyone here." Her palm was covered by the overly long sleeves, only her slender fingers were exposed, and fine powder was almost invisible from between her nails.

While she was pouring the second glass of wine, Prime Minister You suggested: "Why don't you take off the veil and let the guests see your beauty?"

"My family's appearance is mediocre, not enough to make you worry about it." When Xiangxiang spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced aside.

Even if it was a small look, Prime Minister You noticed it: "Is there something unspeakable?" If it was a normal movement, he might ignore it, but her eyes seemed to avoid him deliberately or unintentionally, so he couldn't help but care.

Seeing him like this, everyone didn't dare to intervene. Xiyun wanted to say something, but finally decided to wait and see what happened.

Xiangxiang was originally looking at him, but when he replied, he avoided his eyes again, and his voice weakened: "No, there is no unspeakable secret..."

"Look at me." Prime Minister You closed his eyes, his tone was steady, but it made people tremble.

"Yes, Mr. Xiangxiang." Xiangxiang seemed to be terrified, looking straight into his eyes that were shining brightly like the bright moon, those eyes clearly reflected his unnaturalness, seeing this, Xiangxiang quickly knelt down: "Mister...Mr. , A few days ago, I accidentally..." She paused for a while, as if thinking about the appropriate wording: "Accidentally scratched my face, so it's not easy to see people."

You Cheng still didn't believe the similarity, so he tore off her veil, but saw that there were obvious and uneven red marks along her chin along her neck, which looked extremely hideous on a delicate face, and everyone present was surprised: "Are you sure it was scratched?" His eyes turned sharp.

"Xiang... Master Xiang... Nu's family... is a new maid who came to apply for a new job when Xiangfu... Xiangfu was recruiting. This is really scratched by my family." Xiangxiang's hand holding the sleeve of the right prime minister kept trembling, while Her wide sleeves also slipped to her elbows because of her actions, but she found similar scars from her slender palms to her forearms: "I really didn't get burned..." God, what did she say: "No, no... it was a scratch The wound...is scratched." She was already incoherent.

Xiyun always felt that she shouldn't stand on the sidelines, but she didn't know how to deal with it, and Cuoying just watched all this coldly.

Hearing this, he vaguely guessed some clues: "There is such a bullying dog in the Prime Minister's residence." Knowing that she would not confess the instigator, he didn't ask further: "You get up first, and the truth has its own decision."

Xiangxiang was still a little scared: "Master Xiang, this is really my clumsy and accidentally injured, please don't blame others."

"Do you still need to ask about how to enforce the family law?"

"No...not..." Xiangxiang didn't know what to answer.

So Xiyun took the opportunity to smooth things over: "Prime Minister, today is your birthday, let's leave the unhappy things for now." Then he motioned Xiangxiang to get up: "Miss Xiangxiang, put on the veil."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Xiang obediently stood up and put on her veil again, but was secretly surprised when she saw the wine glass.Oh my Jade Emperor, why are there so many wine glasses all of a sudden? Could it be that someone just saw her stop pouring wine and came to help pour the wine?And those wine glasses have been handed to the guests one by one, I don't know if they have drunk it or not.

Xiangxiang raised the wine glass in front of her calmly: "I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone's interest. I'll do it first and respect you." While drinking, her eyes secretly wandered to the people at the table, and finally settled on Xiyun: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, seeing that the emperor's face is blushing, I wonder if I'm drunk?"

Seeing his expression, Prime Minister You agreed a little bit.He raised his lips and smiled, like a breeze blowing under the scorching sun, refreshing his heart: "Your Majesty, you still need to go to court tomorrow, and you should not drink any more." This stupid reason missed the morning court.

"Okay then, I'll take my leave. I wish Aiqing a long life." In fact, he also felt a little dizzy, so he might as well go back to the palace to rest.

The fine eunuch at the side hurried out to call for him to drive him away.Prime Minister You and the others bowed to send the emperor away: "Respectfully send off the emperor."

Cuoying took advantage of the situation and secretly sent a message to Yu Xiangxiang: "What are you pouring into the wine glass?"

Xiangxiang sent his voice into his head: "Your heart is intoxicated, colorless and odorless, as soon as it enters the water, it melts into the water. Only by touching a cup nearby can you smell its tangy fragrance."

"Get to the point." Cuoying interrupted impatiently.

Xiangxiang lowered her head shyly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly: "People who have taken this medicine will feel burnt and hot within three hours..." No need for her to say, he must know: "Probably On the way back to the palace, it will develop slowly."

"An antidote."

"I originally planned to deal with Prime Minister You, and then I will help him solve it myself." She raised her sleeve to cover her lips: "I didn't expect that the emperor would eat it by mistake, so what I want to say is that there is no antidote. I advise you It’s better to go back quickly, it’s very uncomfortable.”

Not intending to talk nonsense to her, Wu Ying immediately sneaked out of the prime minister's mansion.
