The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

23

Seeing the Night King coming out, Mr. Guo quickly turned around, bowed to him and saluted, "King."

The Night King waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite, then looked in the direction where Xiji left, and said lightly to the people around him: Send more people to follow.

I understand.

Ye Lin looked at Xiji's leaving back. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the young man's originally thin figure seemed to have become even thinner.

After returning to the yard, Xiji went over in his mind what Mr. Guo had just said to him. He was a little worried that his behavior that day might have angered the Night King, which was why he was so moody.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mo Shu came in with a fruit plate and asked curiously when he saw the young master sitting there quietly.

When Xiji heard Mo Shu's voice, he looked up in his direction and gave a somewhat frustrated smile. I'm fine, I just made the king angry.

Hearing his words, Mo Shu put down the fruit plate and said to Xiji with some confusion: Young Master, there is nothing to worry about. As long as you coax the king well, the king will definitely forgive you!

You don't understand. Hearing him say this, Xiji's smile became more bitter.

Mo Shu touched his head and thought his young master was really strange. He was obviously right, but he didn't understand. However, looking at his young master's worried look, Mo Shu felt that as his boy, he still had to do something for him, so he continued: "Young master, but in the mansion, the king treats you differently! This time he will definitely not be angry for long, you just have to wait until the king is no longer angry."

Hearing his words, Xiji looked up at him with a confused look in his eyes. He seemed unable to understand what he said. He asked doubtfully: Is the king treating me differently?

Mo Shu thought his young master was very strange, he didn't know such an obvious thing, and showed an appearance of knowing everything about them, and said bluntly: Of course, there has never been anyone around the king, and the young master is the first person who can stay with the king for so long. And according to Brother Fang, the young master is very popular with the king.

When Xiji heard him say this, he immediately remembered the force that had pinched his neck that day. He didn't know where the anger came from, and retorted: I don't see how I have won the king's favor.

Mo Shu scratched his hair and looked at the young master who was inexplicably getting angry. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he still expressed his opinion. However, Wang would hug the young master, agree to his request, and was not as harsh to him as others.

After being told this by Mo Shu, Xiji was stunned, and then he seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, his face turned pale and blue. Finally, as if he had figured something out, he sighed and whispered: You are right, I didn't see through it.

He seemed to understand why Ye Lin wanted to kill him that night. After figuring this out, the depression he had been feeling for the past few days suddenly disappeared, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

He looked up at Mo Shu and smiled widely. "We are going to build the waterwheel tomorrow. Let's make something delicious to reward ourselves today. Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it."

Hearing him say this, Mo Shu's eyes immediately lit up, and thinking of the dishes he hadn't eaten for a long time, his saliva immediately came out. He ran happily to Xiji's side and ordered the dishes that he had been thinking about for a long time but was reluctant to let his young master work hard to prepare.
