He was not averagely smart, and he might have noticed that she was disguised as a man.
Oops, I really shouldn’t have looked at his mouth!
She secretly blamed herself for being petty and forgetting to take the overall situation into consideration.
"Turn around!"
He ordered, leaving no room for doubt.
Liusu swallowed her saliva and didn't move for a long time. She was thinking quickly in her mind. Can she pretend to be deaf again? Generally speaking, a mute is also deaf at the same time.
But it doesn't seem to work.
"Turn around!"
His majestic voice came from behind again.
Oops, there's no way to escape!
Liusu turned around slowly and lowered his head any lower.
"Keep your head up."
He ordered again, as expected of Emperor Zhu Yao. That voice and Tassel trembled in fright. He experienced firsthand what it was like to face him as a slave.
One word - fear.
Liusu slowly raised her head, her eyes blocked by her hair, and the face that was half intact and half scarred appeared in front of Emperor Zhuyao.
Emperor Zhuyao's eyes froze. The scar on his face was the same as the scarred woman crying on the street that day.
Is she disguised as a man?
Emperor Zhuyao's eyes became profound.
Liusu still didn't dare to look at him directly. She was afraid that when her eyes met, her inner thoughts would be revealed. She prayed silently in her heart: Don't ask me to look at you.
"Look at me."
"..." As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she heard Emperor Zhuyao's instructions.
She took a deep breath, rolled her eyes, and then slowly raised her eyes——
"..." Emperor Zhuyao looked at it and was obviously stunned. This was the first time he had met the eyes of this frail man. He didn't expect--
"It's raining heavily, please take this umbrella." Emperor Zhuyao put the umbrella on the ground, then turned and walked into Huaqing Hall.
Liusu stared at his back until he disappeared, and finally her eyes rested on the umbrella he left behind.
She walked over and picked up the umbrella.
"Fortunately, I used to play cross-eyed with Qin Cheng."
She opened the umbrella and walked towards where she lived, talking to herself.
*
By coincidence, on the way back, I bumped into Lu Xuening again. Lu Xuening's face was not as rosy as before, and was a little pale.
She had to cover her face with an umbrella, and then quietly looked at the plates held by the maids.
Hehe, the pastries on the plate came back just as they went, complete and complete, not a single one missing.
It turned out that he didn't eat it and sent it back.
Liusu couldn't help but feel excited.
"Miss Xuening, don't be sad. Maybe the emperor doesn't like this flavor. Maybe he will eat it if I change it to a different flavor next time?"
The palace maid couldn't help but comfort Lu Xuening.
"Yes, yes, next time we ask General Bao to find out more about what the emperor likes to eat, and then we can prepare it."
After hearing this, Liusu raised the corners of his lips——
Humph! He won’t eat food made by other women!
I wouldn’t taste it even if I tried a hundred different flavors!
Thinking about it, Liusu's pace quickened.
This was the happiest she had been in a long time, and the haze in her heart was gone.
When she returned to her residence, she slept on the bed. She couldn't help but laugh when she recalled the frightened look on Emperor Zhuyao's face when he saw her cross-eyes.
I really have never seen him like that.
Too bad!
Liusu suddenly thought of a question and sat up suddenly again——
"Oops, Oops, I acted cross-eyed today. Is it possible that if I have the opportunity to follow Zhuang Mo into the palace again, will I have to cross-eyes when I see him again? It's so hard like that. If you fight for a long time, you will shed tears. Oh.
…”
Liusu screamed in annoyance and lay down heavily on the bed again, "I'm such a pig, such a stupid pig! Why should I pretend to be cross-eyed to scare him?"
That night, Liusu struggled with the matter of cross-eyes until dawn.
Until Zhuang Mo came and said that he was leaving the palace, she was still worried about it.
"Queen, are you worried?"
On the way back to Zhuang Mansion, Zhuang Mo saw Liusu looking depressed and twirling his hair from time to time. He couldn't help but ask.
After knowing her for so long, he has never seen her like this before. In the past, she was always very cold and kept people away thousands of miles away.
But now, she has more liveliness in her body. This...is the original her.
"I met the emperor last night. He seemed to notice that I was disguised as a man and asked me to raise my head. I was afraid that he would see through it, so... I pretended to have eyes like this... cross-eyes..."
As Liusu spoke, he turned around and gave Zhuang Mo a cross-eyed look.
Then, he turned back in frustration.
"Ha ha……"
It turned out that she still had such a side, Zhuang Mo couldn't help but laugh.
"Tell me, what should I do if I have another chance to enter the palace in the future? Is it possible that every time I look up at him, I feel like a cockfight? Besides, maybe he didn't see anything at all yesterday. It's me who is the enemy of everything."
"Queen, there is no need to worry, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth."
Zhuang Mo said with relief.
"Yes! That's right. After all the fighting, it's too late to regret." Liusu nodded heavily, and then she thought of something else.
She stopped and said to Zhuang Mo, "Young Master, please don't tell anyone about this, okay? It's okay for you to know and for me to know. In Zhuang Mansion, I still want to be the same as before."
She didn't want to cause anything.
"Okay, I will follow the Queen's instructions." Zhuang Mo said with a smile.
"Call me Xiao Qin. In front of you, I am not a queen. We... are friends, right?" She truly cherished this new friend Zhuang Mo.
"Yeah." Zhuang Mo nodded. He was still a little disappointed to be called a friend, but he still voted.
Liusu looked at him and said sincerely——
"Master, thank you, thank you for helping me."
"If you are a friend, you don't need to say thank you."
