Chapter 136 Rouge
Shen Tang's heart was shocked. She turned her head and saw some red rashes on Xie Guimo's neck. The rashes were even more clearly visible on his charming face.
Just now he wanted to kiss her, but she dodged in time, so he only kissed her on the face. Is that not okay?!
She also had something on her face that gave him an allergic rash—
But her face is only exposed to water and rouge all day long.
"rouge!"
Shen Tang suddenly remembered that a few days after Concubine Ye asked the second wife to enter the palace, she and Shen Xi and others went out of the house to buy rouge!
Because the rouge was bought from the Rouge Pavilion and handed directly to the maid by the shop assistant, and Xie Guimo sent someone to eavesdrop on the conversation between Shen Xi and the Second Wife, the two did not know what caused Xie Guimo to have a rash. They had also checked the lip balm in their previous life and found no problems, so Shen Tang did not think much about it.
Now it seems that there will be problems with the rouge once it gets into her hands.
The people in Yanzhi Pavilion are most likely from Concubine Ye and the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion!
Shen Tang wanted to give the rouge to Xie Guimo, but when he saw Xie Guimo scratching his neck, Shen Tang turned around and went to get him some medicine first.
Although the medicine had been boiled long ago and had been there for a while, the ceramic medicine pot heated up slowly and cooled down slowly. When Shen Tang reached out to lift the lid of the pot, she gasped because of the heat.
Xie Guimo walked over in two or three steps, grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you burned?"
Shen Tang shook his head lightly, "It's okay."
She wanted to pour the medicine for Xie Guimo, but Xie Guimo said, "I can do it myself."
Xie Guimo poured the medicine into a bowl and brought it to the table, waiting for it to cool down before drinking. By then, Shen Tang had already brought over the three boxes of rouge he had bought that day. He handed them to Xie Guimo and said, "This is the rouge I bought at the Rouge Pavilion after I caught the assassin in the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. This is what I've been using these days..."
Shen Tang paused and said, "I also checked the rouge and powder I used in my previous life, and there was nothing wrong with it."
Xie Guimo said, "Maybe we're looking in the wrong direction. Rouge and powder aren't poisonous, so there's naturally no problem."
It just added some things that were harmless to Shen Tang but would cause him to have a rash.
Tomorrow he will try to see if there is anything wrong with these rouges, and then compare them with the rouges sold in Rouge Pavilion to see what is extra.
I hope there is really something wrong with the rouge, otherwise I really don’t know where to check.
Xie Guimo put down the rouge, reached out and touched Shen Tang's face, then took her hand and walked towards the shelf with a copper basin. There was water in the copper basin. He reached out and tried it, and it was not cold.
Xie Guimo said, "Wash your face."
Isn’t it said that rouge is non-toxic? Is it okay for her to use it? Why do you ask her to wash her face?
Shen Tang looked at him, and Xie Guimo started washing her face. However, Xie Guimo's hands were heavily calloused as a martial artist, and it stung when he scratched her face. She said, "I'll wash it myself."
She buried her face in the water, washed off the rouge, and then dried it with a towel.
Shen Tang was about to put the towel into the copper basin, but before she did, Xie Guimo pulled her into his arms. Before she could react, he kissed her.
Shen Tang, “……!!!”
His kiss was overbearing, as if he wanted to take away all her breath. Shen Tang's body became limp and she could hardly stand.
She wondered why this bastard wanted her to wash her face. If she knew he wanted to kiss her, it would be strange that she would wash it.
Shen Tang was so confused by the kiss that he let her go. Shen Tang said angrily, "You..."
I had just said one word when I was blocked again.
Shen Tang was so angry that she punched him, but her strength was just enough to tickle Xie Guimo, and he thought it was not enough. He kissed Shen Tang until she was almost suffocated, and then he let her go. Shen Tang said, "Do you want to die?!"
Xie Guimo touched Shen Tang's neck and earlobe and said, "Just a kiss on the cheek and you have to eat a bowl of bitter medicine, can you bear it?"
I have to take medicine anyway, so at least let him kiss me enough.
This bastard made herself sound so pitiful, and no one forced him to kiss her, but seeing the rash on his face, Shen Tang couldn't bear it. He kissed her again, and she didn't resist, but responded.
It would have been fine if she hadn't responded. As soon as she responded, the bastard pushed her away. Shen Tang was stunned. She saw Xie Guimo let go of her, walked towards the table, drank the medicine in one breath, picked up the rouge, and jumped out the window without looking back.
Shen Tang, “…???”
Is this person seriously ill?
She pushed him and shoved him, insisting on kissing her.
After I kissed him, he ran faster than anyone else.
Shen Tang didn't know that because of her response just now, a certain man almost lost control of himself. God knows how much effort he used to suppress the urge to carry her to bed. If he stayed any longer, he really couldn't guarantee that he could control himself.
Facing the empty window, a small flame was burning in Shen Tang's eyes.
Let’s talk about a certain gentleman who jumped out of the window. The wind blew away the heat in his heart by a little bit, and he climbed over the wall and left the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion with ease.
But when he jumped onto the horse, he noticed someone was looking at him. He glanced over and saw a man in black riding on the horse, looking at him in shock.
Xie Guimo frowned slightly, and Chen Qi stepped forward and said to the man in black, "Don't get me wrong, my young master is passing by the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion..."
The man in black: “…”
The man in black twitched his lips and rode away.
Chen Qi, “…”
Chen Qi was tired. Others had to worry about being misunderstood when they climbed over the wall. But his own young master was caught climbing over the wall of Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. He was afraid of being suspected of just passing by. It was really rare to meet someone from Pingyuan Marquis, and he wanted to get close to him so that he could propose marriage as soon as possible, but he just left like that.
He didn't know whether Pingyuan Hou's secret guards heard clearly what he just said, and they wanted to catch up with him and say it again.
Inside the house, Shen Tang touched his lips which were burning from being kissed, and turned to drink tea. Outside, Ginkgo and Qiu Tong didn't hear any movement in the house, so they quietly pushed the door open and came in.
As soon as the two maids entered the house, Si'er ran in and said, "Miss, the second wife also fainted while kneeling in the ancestral hall..."
Outer courtyard study.
Shen Sui was writing a memorial. He picked up his pen and dipped it in ink when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The servant pushed the door open and reported, "My Lord, the Second Wife fainted after kneeling in the ancestral hall. The old lady had her carried back to the South Courtyard..."
It was Shen Sui who punished the second wife to kneel in the ancestral hall. When the second wife fainted from kneeling, she must have reported this to Shen Sui.
Shen Sui's face was cold and he said nothing.
The servant left, and the sound of a door closing was heard. A dark shadow flashed through the window over there, and there was an extra person in the room. It was the secret guard who had just seen a certain master climbing over the wall to leave.
The secret guard followed Shen Sui's orders and said, "The matter that the Marquis ordered has been completed."
Shen Sui nodded, but the secret guard did not retreat, but hesitated to speak.
Shen Sui saw it and said, "Is there anything else you want to report?"
The secret guard said, "Just now, my subordinates came back and saw Prince Jingyang climbing over the wall of the Marquis' Mansion..."
Almost instantly, Shen Sui's brows furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He asked, "Passing by my Pingyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Secret Guard, "..."
There was silence for a moment.
The secret guard said, "The guards of Prince Jingyang saw me and told me not to misunderstand. His master, Prince Jingyang, was passing through our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion..."
Shen Sui, “…”
If he hadn't passed by Marquis Pingyuan's Mansion, how could the Prince of Jingyang have climbed over the wall and escaped from it?
It's no wonder Shen Sui didn't think too much about it. After all, Xie Guimo was engaged to Shen Ying before, and he even canceled the marriage proposal from Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion. Shen Sui didn't think Xie Guimo fell in love with his daughter.
But he also thought about the time when Shen Tang frightened a horse on the street and was saved by Xie Guimo. On the day he fell into the water, Xie Guimo jumped into the water but failed to save him. He was also talked about in teahouses and taverns about why he jumped into the water. What was even more strange was that a certain man went to burn paper at the grave of his deceased wife Jiang.
Every little thing is strange.
Could it be that the person who wants to marry Tang'er is the Prince of Jingyang?
This guess flashed through his mind, and then the voice of the secret guard came, "Prince Jingyang has a rash on his face."
Shen Sui's brows were twisted into a knot.
