This Gui You loved his wife, so of course she would let his own wife take the risk. In advance, he had a maid by her side go to the palace to carry out a plan in place of his wife.
Then, when Xi Jiu Er successfully made it out of the palace, the maid would change his appearance and think of a way to get out of the palace.
Xi Jiu Er was a little surprised. When she first met this "Assistant Minister of the Military Department," other than the breathtaking young lady, she had not even realized that the other party was wearing a mask.
There were countless disguisers who were so much more skilled than he was.
When the man saw the amazement on Xi Jiu Er's face, he laughed complacently, "My wife's appearance is one of the best in this world. I believe that even the Imperial Concubine would willingly admit defeat!"
Xi Jiu Er's expression darkened, as she suddenly heard a group of cawing crows flying above her head.
Xi Jiu Er did not want to provoke him, but she swore to be an honest woman, so she had no choice but to express the true feelings in her heart.
"My lord, I'm actually very curious as to how the maid used this appearance changing technique to achieve such a high level of perfection."
The man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to change the topic so quickly.
"In this world, there are only two types of disguising techniques. One is the transformation from a female cosmetics technique, and the other is the meticulous creation from various animal skins. In the second middle school, several human skin masks are more fitting and comfortable, and also more lifelike."
Xi Jiu Er nodded, "But why can't I see the fit on her face? Although I can't say that I am 100% sure of the scars on her face after seeing her disguise, I should be able to see through them a little. However, when that maid and I looked at each other and smiled, I couldn't see a single trace of a smile on her face. "
"Do you know that although this second disguise technique is simple, it is not only used on one's face. If her entire head, along with a strand of hair, were to follow her, how confident would you be to be able to tell?"
Xi Jiu Er took a cold breath, this was clearly a fake, "So that's the case, Master's meaning is that the woman has a mask over her head? A whole head? Isn't that uncomfortable! "
The man reprimanded her coldly, "If you want to be comfortable, then why are you still here as a maid? Why don't you just go home and get married."
Xi Jiu Er was in a bit of a predicament. After being scolded by him, her cheeks were a little red. She stood in place with her stomach held up, not knowing how to continue.
The man, on the other hand, was like a thunderstorm in the summer, and he came and left as quickly as he could, treating it as if he was talking about family matters. He didn't pay much attention to the man and continued to speak, "I made that out of a woman's skin that was twenty-eight years old, so that mask would fit her skin very well. As long as you don't wear it for a long time, there won't be too much of a problem."
"So it's a human skin mask?" Xi Jiu Er trembled. Although she knew that this human skin mask was a top-grade material in disguise, but she had still taken it off her body. The bloody scene made Xi Jiu Er's skin crawl.
But the man didn't care at all, "So what if it's a human skin mask? If not for this human skin mask, Imperial Concubine would probably still be in the Deep Palace, thinking about how to escape. "
Xi Jiu Er heard his tone of voice which was full of ridicule, and did not continue the conversation, turning around and sitting back on the boulder.
Xi Jiu Er quietly sat on top of a rock. Sometimes she would look at the clouds in the sky, and sometimes she would look at the steep cliffs on top of the cliff. The two cliffs faced each other, and the clouds in the middle were luxuriant, it was like a fairyland.
The two of them ignored each other and started working on their own things. Xi Jiu Er folded some dogtail grass and made a grass hoop to pass the time, while Gui You sat on the ground, laying on the grass and carefully went to arrest the crickets. The two of them stayed at peace.
Xi Jiu Er's ten fingers moved as if they were butterflies, smoothing and inserting the dogtail grass into the grass ring made from the roots. She then carefully picked one of the stalks of grass from the boulder beside him and planned to continue walking into the ring.
He heard clear footsteps coming from the forest next to him.
Xi Jiu Er subconsciously shook off the grass rings in her hand, and was about to hide in the grass, but Gui You who was at the side unhurriedly stood up and brushed off the dirt on his body, spitting it out slowly: "After so long, it's finally here, Little Sis, don't run, the person you're waiting for is here."
Xi Jiu Er stopped in her tracks, and immediately retracted her foot. She moved with great difficulty while holding her stomach, completely lacking the nimbleness and nimbleness she had when she was ready to escape.
Xi Jiu Er was a few steps behind Gui You, and subconsciously hid behind him. Hearing the footsteps that gradually approached, he tried to straighten her body, and stretched her head out from beside the man's arm to take a peek.
Dressed in red, Xi Jiu Er's eyes were pierced by the familiar color before she finally remembered the identity of the person.
Isn't it just the famous and beautiful Great Beijing Dynasty who had a very close relationship with him, Mu Qiu Shui?
When Xi Jiu Er saw who it was, she let go of the boulder in her heart. She walked out from behind Gui You and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
For a moment, Mu Qiu Shui saw the familiar figures not too far away and immediately dispersed.
With that in mind, Xi Jiu Er, who had been worrying about her for many days, unharmed stood in front of him, causing Mu Qiu Shui to heave a long sigh of relief. The entire journey had been long and arduous, and he had hurried here worn and dusty as he only wanted to save her from the sea of fire.
Even if the one whom he loved was about to become someone else's mother, the child was not his own.
Mu Qiu Shui never liked to demand anything. As long as Xi Jiu Er could live a happy life without worries, even if she had to seal her heart for the rest of her life, he would be willing.
A cool breeze blew past the mountains, dispersing the black hair that had slipped past Xi Jiu Er's ears. The afterglow of the sunlight that was shining on the forest behind was a layer of warmth, as if it was a priceless treasure.
Gui You tactfully waved her hand to call the servants behind Mu Qiu Shui, leaving room for the other two servants to reminisce.
Mu Qiu Shui was still dressed in his scarlet red clothes, but they were not as elegant and elegant as they were in the past. He looked like a popinjay, with his tight-fitting scarlet clothes that were inlaid with golden silk and looked like a peony.
