Hu Guiyang re-lit the candle and did not lift the veil. His face smiled a little embarrassedly, "This...can't be it?"

"What can't be done?"

"Remarry or a side room... If someone else knows, I will lose my head. What punishment will you... be?"

"Are you scolded?" the princess said calmly.

"Huh? The difference is so big!"

"I will be placed under house arrest somewhere in the palace. From now on, I can't go out for a while and think about it carefully. It is not much different from my previous life. However, all kinds of preferential treatments in recent years will be cancelled. I will never see Your Majesty again, and no one dares to mention my name before Your Majesty."

"You will lose power." Hu Guiyang concluded.

"Well, not much, but if you've been stuck for years, you'll understand how important this power is to me."

"Once the news is leaked, I will definitely die and I will not have a chance to be trapped." Hu Guiyang said with a wry smile.

"So, don't let the news leak."

"I still don't understand..."

"You don't have to think too much. I just can't believe that others will do this. I am Ding Gongmao. The 'Princess' is sick and is resting at home. There will be no movement within a few months."

"Is there really a palace maid Ding?"

"Um."

Hu Guiyang scratched his head and smiled, "I really didn't expect that you were bullied by Mama Li a few years ago... Where is Mama Li?"

"I've gone home to retire."

"You are soft-hearted."

"Why care about the soil that was stained on the clothes before?"

"Haha. How powerful are you now? Which level of minister is equivalent to?"

The princess laughed, "The so-called power is not calculated like this. In short, Your Majesty trusts me more and asks me to help the Eastern Palace."

"If you find the divine jade and capture He Sanchen alive, your Majesty's trust in you will be added to another level."

"So you should understand that I am determined to win these two things."

"I understand if you know that the person coming is you." Hu Guiyang sighed, "When you think about it carefully, although your actions are bold, they are smart. Yuan Mao and the old Taoist do not recognize you, but the people who know you and the bee girl know you will not say it, and no one believes it. I recognize you but dare not make it speak. It is a death sentence. Where is the eldest lady Hua? Haven't she seen the princess before?"

"She only had contact with the cook in my mansion. She had never seen me or heard my voice."

"So that's it. But, just because Luo and Fengniang are the two men, the princess wants to compete with Dongchang?"

"I'm not a princess now, please keep this in mind, Captain Hu."

"Miss Ding...Miss Ding, all the Wen family are masters, and they are still inferior to He Wu's madman. Luo and the bee girl practice martial arts halfway, I'm afraid even the Wen family can't beat him."

"Are you worried?"

Hu Guiyang thought for a while and smiled, "Actually I'm not worried."

"Very good, then I'm sorry for Captain Hu. You can leave after three nights, but every three or five days, you have to come here to spend the night at least."

"I have been wandering in the mountains for several months. As long as I can block the wind and cold, I don't feel wronged. I can sleep on the table, so you can rest early."

The princess said no, and Hu Guiyang blew out the candle again. The princess did not lift the veil and lay down on her side, covering the quilt with a rustling rustling.

Hu Guiyang was stunned when he was lying on the table, resting his head on his arms, and could not sleep at all. He couldn't help thinking, the princess might have other ideas when she came to Zhao's house, maybe she was not just to complete the task, maybe she wouldn't refuse him to sleep in bed as well...

After thinking about it for a lot of "maybe", Hu Guiyang did nothing and fell asleep. He talked to the princess in his dream. He suddenly woke up and forgot what he had said in his dream.

The sky was light outside, the charcoal plate in the room had been extinguished, and a slight cold wind passed by the tip of the nose, which was quite comfortable.

Hu Guiyang looked at the bed. The princess was still sleeping and rushed into her sideways. Her veil had been taken away, revealing her black hair.

After so long, he still only recognizes the princess's voice.

Hu Guiyang stood up, took a step towards the bed, turned around immediately, and tiptoed out of the house.

Luo and the bee girl got up earlier and were practicing in the yard. When they saw Hu Guiyang, they immediately stopped.

"You shouldn't get up so early on wedding night." Luo said with a smile.

Hu Guiyang patted his stomach and said softly: "I drank too much wine last night."

Luo took off, Hu Guiyang walked to the gate of the courtyard and turned his head and said, "Before becoming an alien, you never thought you would be interested in martial arts."

"Before that, I hadn't thought about many things."

Hu Guiyang nodded, "But you were once a stranger with outstanding skills. Can you still respect the skills of mortals?"

"Who said that my skills are weaker now than when I was a stranger?"

"I guessed." Hu Guiyang smiled slightly, "Just guessing randomly, you don't have to show it to me."

In the front yard, the servant Lao Qiang was cleaning the courtyard. He had always woken up very early. When he saw the master running hurriedly, he was as surprised as Luo, "The master got up so early."

"Yes." Hu Guiyang went into the house to find a chamber pot.

Lao Qiang said outside the door: "Do you want to wash up?"

"want."

"Do you have breakfast?"

"eat."

"Then I wake up Lao Ma, what does the newcomer taste?"

The identity of "Ding Gongmaid" has not been determined, and the servant does not know what to call him, so he has to call him "Newcomer".

"Don't let Lao Ma cook first, I'll go to the back to ask."

"Yes, master." Lao Qiang thought that this "newcomer" must be very favored, and even asked for anything he had to eat. He would change his name in the future, "By the way, a guest wants to see the master."

"So early?" Hu Guiyang opened the door and felt much more comfortable in his stomach.

"I came in the middle of the night yesterday and smashed the door, saying that it was the master's old friend, but I refused to name it. I said that the master was newly married and would not see guests tonight. He said that he was waiting outside. When I was sweeping the yard in the morning, I really saw someone squatting outside the door."

Hu Guiyang was very surprised, "I'll go and have a look."

There was a person sitting outside the door, like an old monk entering into meditation, his eyes were closed, his body was straight, his hair and eyebrows were covered with frost.

"Does the master know him?" Lao Qiang asked in a low voice.

Hu Guiyang did not answer.

Seeing that there was no excitement on the owner's face, Lao Qiang judged that what he did last night was right, so he took a step forward and looked carefully for a while, "Did he... freeze to death?"

"Try his breath."

Lao Qiang was really obedient. He turned the broom to his left hand and slowly stretched out his right hand to try his breath. As soon as his fingertips reached under his nose, the man suddenly raised his arm like lightning, and his five fingers firmly held his wrist.

Lao Qiang yelled in pain, and the broom in his left hand fell to the ground.

Hu Guiyang bowed and smiled, "I'm still alive."

The man let go, slowly got up, and said to Lao Qiang first: "I'm sorry, I've hurt you."

"It's okay." Lao Qiang picked up the broom, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and looked at the master.

Hu Guiyang looked at the guest carefully and smiled and said, "Forgive me for being a clumsy person, I don't recognize you, an 'old friend'."

When he heard that he was not an old friend, Lao Qiang held the broom handle with both hands. When he was about to chase someone out, he would beat him hard.

The guest could not tell his age, his eyes were bright, but his body was skinny and his skin was loose like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

"No wonder, few people can still recognize me now. Can you go in and talk? I haven't eaten for two days."

"Please come in. Lao Qiang, let Lao Ma prepare meals, no matter what you do, the faster the better."

"Ah? Master, you don't even know him..."

"This is interesting to me if I don't know the 'old friend'." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

Lao Qiang didn't understand what the so-called interesting means, so he had to go to Lao Ma. He turned around and asked halfway, "Where is the backyard?"

"Don't worry, they won't be hungry."

Lao Qiang was puzzled and did not ask any more questions, so he asked Lao Ma to get up and cook.

Hu Guiyang invited the guests into the temporary living room, "Sorry, the hall behind has just been repaired and has not been cleaned up yet, so it is impossible to serve guests."

"It's almost three years, it's just repaired?" The guest was not surprised at all.

"Have you been here?" Hu Guiyang was even more surprised and asked the guests to sit down and sit down himself.

"I tried a little while I demolished the house behind."

Hu Guiyang was stunned. Those who demolished the house were all Yiren. If they were Yiren in the government, they could not be called "old friends". In theory, they would not come to see him. If they were Yiren in the martial arts world, he knew almost all of them, but he did not have the one in front of him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, Hu Guiyang jumped up and blurted out: "Xiao Shaxiong! You are Xiao Shaxiong!"

The guest smiled, "Person Hu's reaction was the same as others, but fortunately you still remember my name."

Hu Guiyang could not connect the skin and bones shorter than him in front of him with the giant. He was in a daze. Old Ma brought some cold meat and cold rice, yawned and said, "It's all leftovers last night. If you want to eat the hot ones, you have to wait for a while."

Before Hu Guiyang could speak, Xiao Shaxiong took the lead and said, "These are good."
