Chapter 272 Mask

   "Thank you." Shao Mingyuan took the medicine bowl and drank it. His facial expression was distorted for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal. He quietly handed the medicine bowl to the guard beside him.

  Qiao Zhao took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus from his purse and put it in his hand.

   Shao Mingyuan was stunned.

   "Eating sugar will not be so bitter."

   "Uh." Shao Mingyuan keenly noticed that the girl in front of him was not in a good mood. Although he felt that it was a bit embarrassing for a big man to eat candy in public, he honestly stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus candy into his mouth.

  Sweet taste accompanied by the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus diffuses in the mouth, immediately dispelling the bitter medicinal taste.

   "Young and not naive!" Chi Can gave Qiao Zhao a stern look.

   Is there such a doctor who actually prepares sugar for patients?

   She must have an idea for Shao Mingyuan!

   The more Chi Can thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't do anything to Qiao Zhao, so he silently raised his leg and kicked Shao Mingyuan.

   Shao Mingyuan with sweet-scented osmanthus in his mouth: "…"

   He silently swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus candy, looked up at the sky, and said solemnly: "Well, it's about this time—"

   "I have to boil another medicine." Qiao Zhao blocked what Shao Mingyuan wanted to say later.

   It's still early, Shao Mingyuan said this, in fact, he wanted to send her away.

   At such a time, how could she go back.

The sweet feeling of    seems to be still lingering in his mouth, Shao Mingyuan thought silently: This is cannibalism, right?

   "Then I will trouble Miss Li."

   "I'm going to dispense the medicine, General Shao and Brother Chi have a slow chat."

   After that, Qiao Zhao guarded the small stove to boil the medicine, and listened to Shao Mingyuan chatting with Chi Can.

  Unfortunately, Shao Mingyuan did not elaborate on the Qiao family fire case, and instead asked Chi Can's purpose.

   Chi Can said: "I guess the emperor will summon Young Master Qiao today, so I came to remind you."

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help clenching the fan handle.

  The emperor will summon his brother?

   She couldn't help looking at Shao Mingyuan.

   "Well." Shao Mingyuan turned his head and waited for Chi Can to speak down.

Speaking of the present day, Chi Can didn't have much awe in his tone, but felt a little inexplicable: "What about my emperor's uncle, Tingquan, you may not know if you haven't been in the capital for a long time, how should I put it... Well, he is different from ordinary people, he I don't like anything that doesn't look good. So if Young Master Qiao really sees you in the palace, it's best to cover up the disfigured half of his face."

   "Understood." Shao Mingyuan thought for a while, and instructed his guard, "Go and fetch that silver mask."

   The personal guard led the way, and soon after, he came with a mask in his hand and respectfully presented it to Shao Mingyuan.

   Qiao Zhao couldn't help but look over.

  It was a silver mask as thin as a cicada's wings, with exquisite workmanship.

  Shao Mingyuan stretched out his hand to take it, rubbed it in his hand, and commanded, "Go and invite Mr. Qiao to come over."

   After a while, Qiao Mo came over, and he had returned to his light-hearted appearance.

   "Uncle, today the palace may pass you on."

   "Uh." Qiao Mo's face was calm, then he raised his hand to touch the uneven scar, and smiled bitterly, "I look unsightly, right? That's a great disrespect to the Holy One."

  Qiao Zhao listened, his heart seemed to be stung by a bee, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover his distressed emotions.

   "Brother, try this." Shao Mingyuan handed over the silver mask.

  Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then took it over and put a hood on his face like a flow of kindness.

  Qiao Mo's face has soft lines, while Shao Mingyuan's face is more angular. Watching Qiao Mo put on the mask, Shao Mingyuan looked at it for a moment and raised his hand to take off the mask.

   He exerted force on his hand, only to hear a soft sound, a mask was neatly divided into two, and then adjusted a few places with his fingers, and handed it to Qiao Mo again: "Brother uncle, try wearing it again."

  Half of the mask fit perfectly on Qiao Mo's left face, covering the scary scars.

   Half is a silver mask, and half is a perfect right face, which instead generates a strange beauty.

   Shao Mingyuan nodded with a smile: "This should be fine. The material of the mask is special, so it won't fall off when it fits on human skin."

   The guard beside him grinned in pain.

   Of course it is special. The material of this mask is precious, and the general has often worn it since he was a teenager.

   "It's really good." The always picky Chi Can put his arms around his chest and nodded reluctantly.

  Qiao Zhao said nothing and watched silently.

  Qiao Mo didn't seem to notice Qiao Zhao's existence, and didn't cast his eyes in her direction.

   A personal guard came to report: "General, someone from the palace has passed an edict."

   Shao Mingyuan and Chi Can looked at each other, then turned to Qiao Mo: "Uncle, let's go out."

   Qiao Mo nodded.

   The two walked forward side by side, Qiao Zhaoli stared at the spot, Chi Can cleared his throat: "What are you looking at? You can't even pull out your eyes."

   He didn't want to admit that the moment Qiao Mo put on half of his mask made him feel a sense of crisis.

   No, he has no sense of crisis, a man is good-looking and can't be eaten!

   "Why didn't Brother Chi keep up?" Qiao Zhao asked softly.

   Of course she can go with the past cheeky, but if that happens, the eldest brother will definitely dislike him even more.

   Haste is not enough. Previously, she was too eager to recognize her eldest brother, which led to the current dilemma.

   "What's so good about the past, the left is just the **** singing twice and taking Qiao Mo away. I've seen this scene many times."

   "The Son of Heaven—" Qiao Zhao wanted to ask whether the emperor who was chasing longevity was really as unreliable as her grandmother had mentioned to her before, but it was inconvenient to say this directly, so I could only mention it in a few words, hoping Chi Can would agree.

   Chi Can really understood what Qiao Zhao was asking, and said bluntly: "Moody, cloudy and sunny."

  Qiao Zhao: "…"

  Fortunately, she is not the kind of girl who needs to be comforted, otherwise, Mr. Chi would have been so direct and scared people to death.

   Care is messed up, although Qiao Zhao is calm, after listening to Chi Can's words, a shadow still floats in his heart.

   About two quarters later, Shao Mingyuan turned back.

"gone?"

"Um."

Chi Can stretched out his hand and patted Shao Mingyuan's shoulder: "Don't make the boss face, I can see Qiao Mo wearing a mask, and my uncle the emperor won't be disgusted. The fire in the Qiao family has come to an end, the late Mr. Qiao He is also a great Confucian famous all over the world, and today it is said that he entered the palace with the intention of appeasement, and the emperor should not embarrass him."

   However, the style of his uncle, the emperor, is really hard to describe, and he has done a lot of things that are not pleasing to the eye.

   Of course, there is no need for him to say such words to add to the block. There are two worlds inside and outside the palace, and no one can interfere in the affairs of the palace, and it is nothing to say.

   "Go in and wait." Shao Mingyuan looked at Qiao Zhao after speaking, "Miss Li, why don't I send someone—"

   "Well, when the medicine is ready, it's time to eat."

   Shao Mingyuan opened his mouth.

   Well, let’s take care of the meal.

   The lunch was quite rich, but unfortunately only half of it was eaten when a guard hurried to report: "General, Young Master Qiao has been put into the Heavenly Prison!"
