Chapter 124
"Are you awake?" Xia Ying frowned, wiped the blade of the sword for Long Yuan with her dark black clothes, didn't even look at Guihai Xiuli, and took a few breaths on Long Yuan's sword from time to time, and said in a deep voice, "Baili Fengye hasn't come back yet, you go back to Guihai Xili yourself." β
"I ......" Guihai Xiuli opened his mouth, struggled to get up from the bed, felt a headache when he moved slightly, shook it vigorously a few times, Guihai Xiuli reached out and patted his head, in order to relieve the headache, "I ......"
Guihai Xiuli looked out the window, the sun had begun to sink at this moment, it was still afternoon when he was walking in the icy water, and it had been so long since he woke up......
Guihai Xiuli still remembered the scene when Xia Ying fed him medicine in the haze, at this moment, he smiled bitterly twice, sat up straight from the bed, and suddenly found that the wounds on his body that had been beaten by the palace people had actually been drugged, and it was very comfortable.
Opening his mouth, Guihai Xiuli smiled slightly, and when he woke up, he already felt much better, jumping from the bed to the floor, Guihai Xiuli glanced around, and soon found a brush in Kunhua Palace......
Xia Ying didn't know what this kid wanted to do, so her hand wiping the sword paused slightly, and she looked up in the direction of Guihai Xiuli!
"Alright!" Guihai Xiuli raised a smile, touched his neck, and then stopped with both hands on the purse around his neck, pressed the sachet tightly and smiled, "That's the picture...... I've made it up. β
As soon as the words fell, Guihai Xiuli hurriedly ran outside, saying as he ran, "I won't be lazy, and I will also take a horse tomorrow...... Oops!"
Hearing Guihai Xiuli's 'oops', Xia Ying's eyes suddenly opened, and she grabbed Long Yuan and quickly chased after her. He looked nervous.
"Xiu Li, why are you here!" Before she got outside the house, Xia Ying heard a soft voice, "Why are you careless?"
That was Situ Qinglian, when Xia Ying went out, Situ Qinglian was rubbing her head for Guihai Xiuli, "Does your sister know that you are here?"
"Aunt Qinglian!" Guihai Xiuli hugged Situ Qinglian's waist and rubbed her belly a few times, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt." β
See here. Xia Ying pinched Long Yuan's strength and then let go.
Situ Qinglian also obviously saw Xia Ying, and patted Guihai Xiuli's head, and Situ Qinglian squatted down. With a smile, he scratched the tip of Guihai Xiuli's nose, "Okay, my aunt has something to say, you go back to Xili." β
"Hmm!" Guihai Xiuli nodded vigorously and glanced back at Xia Ying. Only then did he run out to meet the sunset.
Seeing that Xia Ying was just looking at herself, but didn't say a word, Situ Qing shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "Aren't you invited in to sit down?"
Situ Qinglian was wearing a beige Confucian shirt at the moment, not at all like a lady in the palace, but no different from ordinary women outside the palace. This dress is not luxurious, but it makes Situ Qinglian more humane, facing Xia Ying's slightly wary gaze. Situ Qing sneered, "Okay...... Qing Lian is just a woman, is it worthy of the attention of Prince Jing'an......? I don't want to do anything, I'm just sending you something. Situ Qinglian took out a silk scarf from the cuffs of his shirt.
Walking in front of Xia Ying in a few steps, Situ Qinglian handed the silk scarf to Xia Ying.
Xia Ying didn't reach out to pick it up. Situ Qinglian sighed and took Xia Ying's hand. put the silk scarf in her palm, "Don't worry, this silk scarf has not been soaked in medicine, and there are no hidden needles." β
"You ......" Xia Ying didn't refuse, frowning a little puzzled.
Stretching his waist, Situ Qinglian yawned, "You're really far from here...... I've walked a long way from me to here, and I'm sleepy. β
After complaining a few times, Situ Qinglian's gaze stopped on the silk scarf, "You want to know what I gave you?" With a few playful winks, Situ Qinglian smiled, "This silk scarf is not mine...... It was given to me by Xiu Li's sister, and I heard the palace maids say these days that you asked the first minister of Great Xia to go outside the palace to find the true works of Mr. Ouyang, so ...... I'll send you a silk scarf. β
Xia Ying's pupils dilated, and she suddenly spread the silk scarf in her palm...... Could it be that the embroidered picture on this silk scarf was also painted by Ouyang Yixian.
"Why?" Xia Ying put away the silk scarf again and looked at Situ Qinglian's face, "You said you wanted to make friends with me, but I didn't believe it!" After a pause, Xia Ying continued, "When you first said that you wanted to be friends with me, although I was confused, I believed three points, but ...... I don't have a good attitude towards you, I can even describe it as bad, after a few times, no one will want to continue to make friends with a person who has no friendship, but you still help me, now...... Sue me for your true purpose. β
The sunset fell on Xia Ying's clothes, Situ Qinglian went against the sun to look at the woman, only to see that most of her body was in the sun, although it was the sunset, it was still dazzling, and she couldn't see the person's face clearly.
"If you still want to talk about friends or something, then ...... You can go now. There's no need to talk any further. As Xia Ying spoke, her eyes never took her eyes off Situ Qinglian, as if she wanted to use her senses to judge what the person in front of her said...... Whether it's true or not.
didn't expect Xia Ying to suddenly ask such a question, Situ Qinglian was obviously stunned, but after a while, she laughed softly again.
"Okay! Even if you don't believe it, Qing Lian still wants to say it again, I really like your temperament, and I really want to be friends with you, but ...... If there are other reasons, it's not for nothing. Situ Qinglian suddenly leaned over, leaned into Xia Ying's ear and said, "I saw him when I was sixteen years old, married him at the age of seventeen despite my father's opposition, and ...... at the age of nineteen I helped him take away his father's military power, and my hands were covered with blood with him, you say...... What exactly am I doing this qiΔ for?"
Xia Ying frowned, thinking of another man in white, her heart hurt, she lowered her eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Yes...... Love?"
Situ Qinglian's smile froze on his face, and his body was a little unnatural, but he still nodded in agreement, "Yes! Xia Ying...... Don't tell SΓΉ Qing to pity you, you don't have any purpose in marrying Hua Chu. β
"......" Xia Ying was noncommittal.
"I can see that you don't have a picture in your eyes. This is the first time Situ Qinglian has been in front of others. didn't call Jing Feng His Majesty, but called him by his name, "At first, I didn't know your purpose, but recently, ...... Qing Lian guessed a little, come to think of it, you probably have a lot of connections with Mr. Ouyang here. Pulling the beige shirt, Situ Qinglian's tone was a little tired, "I know...... People like you, if you don't have him in your heart, then. I won't stay in Huachu forever. I want you to leave, I hope you do your best to find the answer that you have to stay in Huachu, so ...... As long as it's the clue you need. And I happen to have it, so...... Naturally, I wouldn't mind sending it to you. β
After saying that, Situ Qinglian breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a moment of silence in the Kunhe Palace, and he was stunned for a while. Situ Qinglian said again, "In this back and palace, it is not a bad feeling to be able to tell everything you think in your heart. β
"......" Xia Ying couldn't see anything on her face, and she didn't know how much she believed Situ Qinglian's explanation. "Do you want me to leave Hua Chu as much as possible?" Are you afraid that I will become the real queen of Hua Chu?"
Rubbing his eyes, Situ Qinglian's laughter was gentle, and the fragrance of tea on his body was elegant and long. "What is the real queen?" Situ Qinglian raised his eyebrows, "Xia Ying, you already have a phoenix seal on your body, then you are the queen of Hua Chu, there is nothing real or fake." I miss you leaving...... It's not that you're afraid that you like the scenery, but ...... Jing likes you. "In the last sentence. Situ Qinglian's voice paused for a moment, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists in his shirt.
After a few seconds, Situ Qinglian's voice slowly sounded again, "I want you to leave...... It's actually the fear that you will hurt him, or that he will hurt you. β
The dragon yuan in Xia Ying's hand suddenly bloomed blue, thinking that Xia Ying's love was touched by this sentence.
"I said it...... I really like you, if there is a friend like you in the back and palace, then life will not be boring. From Situ Qing's pitiful eyes, Xia Ying seemed to really see her sincerity, "You and he are both destined to take off in this era, and your position will always be Great Xia......! Xia Ying, do you think you will really be okay with each other?"
Xia Ying quieted down, she thought of a hundred reasons, but she never thought that the answer she would get one day would be like this!
I don't know if I should believe it or not, but ...... Situ Qinglian's voice was so sincere, such a reason seemed to be taken for granted.
didn't get Xia Ying's reply for a long time, and Situ Qinglian didn't urge, just stuck out his tongue at Xia Ying and made a grimace, "I know that even if you really leave, it's not now, you should still stay in Huachu for a long time, so...... In the future, I will come to you as well, I said that I like you and want to be friends with you. "This elf's strange appearance is like a colorful sunshine in the back and palace where there are scheming everywhere, it is no wonder that although Situ Qinglian is a member of the Situ family, he is still a person that Jing Feng trusts extremely much.
"Xia Ying!" Situ Qinglian took Xia Ying's hand, "Before he ascended the throne, I often left the palace, and now ...... There are more rules for being an imperial concubine, what is happening outside the palace? Can you tell me a little bit about it?" Situ Qinglian was a little lonely, "By the way, some friends in the rivers and lakes Qinglian haven't seen each other for several years, do you know their news? Actually...... Sometimes I wonder if he hadn't been given the throne back then......"
After the words, Situ Qinglian didn't continue, but shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to himself, "Impossible, if he didn't have a ...... at that time Come to think of it, he and I are no longer in this world at this time. β
The silk scarf was received by Xia Ying in her sleeve, clinging to Xia Ying's skin, Xia Ying thought a little distractedly...... Guihai Shuli saw it from Guihai Xili and ...... The picture that was completed for her, and ...... This silk scarf, which was originally owned by Guihai Xili, seems to really mean one thing -- there is definitely an old acquaintance between Ouyang Yixian and Guihai Xili! Could this information be deliberately revealed by Situ Qinglian? Somehow, in her selfish heart, Xia Ying actually had some resistance to this conclusion.
Xia Ying maintained an alienation from everyone in the Huachu Palace, however, Situ Qinglian didn't care about that alienation at all, holding Xia Ying's hand and babbling a lot, when talking about those things, Xia Ying never expressed any opinions, but never interrupted Situ Qinglian. Perhaps, this is Xia Ying's kind of ...... for this woman Recognition Method.
Baili Fengye was called away before, saying that Jing Feng had something to find him, with Baili Fengye's character, even if the other party was the emperor of Hua Chu, as long as he could be sure that he would not be in danger, then, no one could control him, and the reason why he followed was just because the palace man who came to pass the word said something in his ear. "Baili Shizi, your father, General Baili, has also arrived. β
A few days ago, Aotian and Luobei also mentioned it, saying that Baili Xuan would arrive in Huachu in a few days. He was also one of the envoys of Great Xia......
That person is Baili Fengye's adoptive father, but he is also the most powerful minister in Great Xia, he doesn't treat Baili Fengye well, but there is no such person. Baili Fengye can't live to be now...... Every time he faced the person he needed to call 'father', Baili Fengye would have a complicated emotion in his heart, which was really difficult to say.
"Master Hou, it's here!" The palace man who passed the word led Baili Fengye to Jing Feng's imperial study, "General Baili and His Majesty are waiting for you inside." β
Baili Fengye smiled bitterly and glanced down at the red suit on his body. He took a deep breath before pushing the door open.
In the imperial study, Baili Xuan and Jing Feng didn't know what they were talking about. Both of them laughed heartily, but this kind of laughter suddenly stopped when Baili Fengye entered the door.
"Father!" Baili Fengye called, squinting at Baili Xuan with a pair of phoenix eyes. "How did you get here?"
Baili Xuan stopped laughing and was dressed in military uniform. There was a solemnity and coldness on his body, and his eyes were as sharp as two knives...... Baili Fengye looked away, didn't look at Baili Xuan's eyes, Baili Fengye called this person "father" for nineteen years, but he knew that there was no father in this world who would look at his son with eyes like knives.
"Evil obstacles!" Baili Xuan viciously spat out two words.
Baili Feng Ye snorted softly, raised his phoenix eyes, and lazily stretched out his hand to talk on the fiery red suit, "Father doesn't seem to be in a very good mood, Feng Ye doesn't think that your current complex is suitable for talking to Feng Ye......"
After speaking, Baili Fengye didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the imperial study, Baili Xuan's face was pale, and he grabbed an inkstone and smashed it towards Baili Fengye's back, "You come here!"
Baili Fengye didn't hide, and let the inkstone smash solidly on his back.
"Rebel son!" Baili Xuanchong looked at Baili Fengye's red outfit and roared in a deep voice, "You are talking to your father like this. β
Jing Feng smiled unabated, watching this scene, and tapped his fingertips on the desk a few times from time to time.
In this imperial study, Baili Xuan's behavior, even if it is said to be disrespectful, is not impossible, however, Jing Feng is not angry, from this simple scene, Jing Feng seems to be able to see what kind of power Baili Xuan has in Great Xia, and can even see from Baili Xuan's eyes how much he despises Xia Qian.
In Huachu, although Jing Feng did not hold all the power, although the three major families were powerful, they suppressed each other, and there was no one who could influence the government in the short term, which was ...... Jing Feng was much luckier than Xia Qian.
"General Baili doesn't have to be angry. Jing Feng brushed the dragon robe, his demeanor was kind but his majesty was undiminished, and he had the shelf of an emperor, so that Baili Xuan did not dare to underestimate it, "It's better to go to the palace to rest first, it's getting late today, if there is anything, it's okay to talk about it tomorrow!"
Baili Xuan's face had not yet eased, but he had to sell Jing Feng a face, hugged his fists, and immediately saw the palace enter the palace.
After Baili Fengye left the imperial study, he originally wanted to see Xia Ying, but ...... At the fork in the palace, Baili Fengye saw the palace wall, and remembered the Kunhua Palace outside the palace, Baili Fengye decided to go there to see it first.
At that moment, Baili Fengye carried out light skills, and it didn't take long for him to come to the Kunhua Palace in the suburbs.
Kunhua Palace was not as empty as Baili Fengye thought, as soon as he entered the door, Baili Fengye saw the back of a woman in purple......
Obviously, the woman in purple also heard the movement and turned her head leisurely, but this person was Qin Ziyou, who had not long returned from the Gentleman's Valley.
The moment he saw Jing Feng, Qin Ziyou's eyes lit up slightly, and a shallow smile appeared on his always quiet face, "Lou ......" originally wanted to call the landlord, but Qin Ziyou frowned slightly, and immediately changed his words, "Second hall master!"
Baili Fengye didn't expect Qin Ziyou to appear here, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't delve into it, but Qin Ziyou was the first to speak, "I've been waiting for the hall master here for several days. β
Qin Ziyou was wearing a dark purple Luo skirt, and she walked to Baili Fengye's side with a respectful expression, "Hao Niang secretly protected Lin Ruansi, but she was ambushed outside the Gentleman's Valley a few days ago...... And I came back a little earlier, so ...... I don't know much about what is going on in the Valley of the Gentlemen. β
Hearing this, Baili Fengye nodded slightly and didn't say anything, he was about to ask Qin Ziyou if he knew about the 'Flying Flower Red Blood', but he didn't expect that she also missed it.
"That's right!" Qin Ziyou looked at the red-clothed man in front of him, some different feelings flashed in his eyes, and glanced at the hairpin that was tied up in Fengye's hair, Qin Ziyou frowned, and took out another hairpin from his arms, "This is the fragrant wood in the Gentleman's Valley, and it is already seven hundred years old...... Extremely rare, has the effect of invigorating blood and nourishing the gods, the landlord uses a wooden hairpin, if you don't use it. β
Qin Ziyou said, and he was about to reach out and take off the Bodhi hairpin on Baili Fengye's hair......
Baili Feng Ye floated back, stepped on the snow and swam in the waves, and immediately left Qin Ziyou's distance of five meters!
Qin Ziyu was stunned, looking at the distance that was suddenly separated from Baili Fengye, his heart was empty, and his hand hurt, it was actually the tip of the hosta that was inserted into the flesh.
Baili Feng Ye looked at Qin Ziyou's phoenix eyes with a hint of displeasure, "No need!"
On the wooden hairpin on his hair, Baili Fengye's narrow and red phoenix eyes carried a long love, and this Bodhi hairpin was sharpened by Xia Ying with the Longyuan sword on the day and given to him by himself!
So, is heaven or anything that can be precious?
Qin Ziyou lowered his eyes and said to Baili Fengye, "Hao Niang and Wufeng are already entrenched in Hua Chu, and Dark Chen has been locked up by Lao Ran for lying to the building repeatedly. β
Baili Fengye took a long breath, Darkchen had been by his side since he was a child, and Hundred-mile Fengye really didn't want to be an opponent against him, but now, even if he believed in Darkchen's loyalty, he would not punish him.
"Got it!" Baili Fengye waved his hand.
Qin Ziyou smiled bitterly, turned around and left Kunhua Palace.
It wasn't until Baili Fengye couldn't see her anymore that Qin Ziyou stared at the seven-hundred-year-old fragrant wood hairpin in his hand and folded it into crumbs one by one...... Straight folded, his hands were covered with blood.
