Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Return Trip
Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Return Trip
Finally ended the three-day trip in the Yaoshan Tangquan Palace, and the team gathered again to return to the prince's mansion. On the way, when Fei Chengcheng saw Luo Zijin boarding her car, Cao Fu looked at them, and she knew what she had done. She even forgot to answer when Luo Zijin asked her what romance stories she liked to listen to on the way, and just organized the words to explain to Cao Fu in her mind. This made Luo Zijin happy and closed his eyes alone.
Xiao Gong and Xiao Lan naturally followed the car. The two of them stood side by side, and they could enjoy the scenery of Yao Mountain along the way, and they were also happy. It's just that Xiao Gong can still feel the cold and resentful gaze shooting from front of him from time to time, which somewhat affects his mood.
Sensing Xiao Luo's absent-mindedness, Xiao Lan suddenly smiled meaningfully, grabbed Xiao Gong and said, "Xiao Luo, did you forget to get something back?"
"What's it? I can't be blamed for this, it's Mr. Murong who left too quickly, and I didn't have a chance to ask him. But he should take it back to the house, and I'll come back when the time comes. Seeing Xiao Lan suddenly asking, Xiao Gong only thought that it was because of the food box, so he explained.
"You forgot to get the food box back......! Forget it, I was there at the time, you didn't have a chance. You remember that you must come back when you return home!" Xiao Lan didn't seem to be talking about the same thing as Xiao Luo, and when she heard her talk about the food box, she was also full of surprise. But Xiao Gong's words were not wrong, and she didn't pursue it further.
"Don't worry, I'll be back. Xiao Gong smiled, and turned his head unconsciously, not wanting to be exposed to the piercing gaze in front of him all the time.
"You must remember! Alas, you are very smart, why do you always forget what you want? If you think about it again, what have you forgotten?" Xiao Lan shook her head and asked helplessly.
"What else have I forgotten?" asked Xiao Gong, who couldn't think of it.
"You! If it weren't for me, I see that you wouldn't regret dying! Look, what is this?" Xiao Lan saw that Xiao Gong couldn't think of it, and he hated that iron could not be made of steel, but he finally took out the thing that Xiao Gong forgot to bring from his sleeve.
When Xiao Gong saw what Xiao Lan took out, he was surprised and asked, "How can it be in your hands......?"
"Where? In your luggage? You, such an important thing, how can you think of putting it in your luggage? Do you know where I saw it? In the cabinet in our room! If I hadn't checked it again at last, such an important thing would have been left in the palace. When the time comes, you won't be able to find it back! This is what Mr. Murong gave you. Oh, thank you for not being able to thank me. Xiao Lan stuffed the hole flute in her hand into Xiao Gong's hand and said proudly.
"Thank you, I'...... I thank you......" Xiao Gong looked at the purple bamboo hole flute in his hand, and gritted his teeth and thanked him with a smile.
This Xiao Lan, this tube of the hole flute, she deliberately "forgot" in the palace. That's what she didn't mean to pick up. She misses the song that night, so even if she knows that this flute is likely to be Murong Shuo's, she wants to keep it as a souvenir. But who knows, Murong Shuo used that flute to humiliate her like this. Her self-esteem wouldn't allow her to continue holding the pipe.
And that flute was "given" to her by Murong Shuo in front of everyone, she couldn't just throw it away like that, she could only pretend to forget it in the palace, out of sight and out of mind. But who knows, he was brought over by this enthusiastic Xiaolan. She wanted to say earlier that she could still find a way to throw it away, but now, Cao Fu was peeking at herself in front, and she couldn't accept it herself.
"You're welcome, remember to put it away, next time you won't be so lucky. Xiao Lan didn't see Xiao Gong's helplessness, and thought she was sincerely grateful, and smiled proudly.
"Okay, I'll definitely take it away, and I won't trouble you anymore. Xiao Gong forced a smile.
With Cao Fu in front of her and watching, she couldn't casually play the hole flute on her opponent. Even, if she wanted Cao Fu in front of her to stop, she could only continue to fight poison with poison, and cherish and show off the hole flute in her hand.
But feeling the increasing anger in the eyes of the people in front of her, Xiao Gong suddenly felt that she was very pitiful. And he is also very sad. Contemptible to attack her with a person's love. The more angry she was, the more she proved her sincerity to Murong Shuo. And he used this sincerity to torture her by such unscrupulous means. It's just because I can't think of any other way to deal with her.
She is a wayward young lady, she does have murderous intent towards herself, and she also attempted murder. But Xiao Gong thought that she was also angry, and he understood her to some extent. Xiao Gong knows that she and her are incompatible, and she can forgive her, but she may not be able to forgive herself. But now, Xiao Gong just wants to let her go, and let herself go.
Although she didn't know Cao Fu's ending, she could guess it. Murong Shuo's book mentions her very little, and after the selection of the prince's mansion, she can't even see her shadow at all. Since she was not elected as the crown princess, she will not have a good time in the future. The people behind her will not let her go, and she herself, presumably, will not let go of herself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Gong didn't bother to show off anything, just put the pipe flute into his sleeve, and ignored Cao Fu in front of him. What should I do, I continued to talk and laugh with Xiaolan along the way, and with the team, I didn't rush back to the prince's mansion until the evening.
Originally, she was supposed to rest in Songmei Garden. But she didn't want to have anything to do with Cao Fu because of the food box. even made himself angry again because he wanted to borrow the food box by mistake for a while. She thought that Murong Shuo might have already returned to the mansion, so she didn't wait for dinner, so she explained a sentence hungry and ran towards Murong Shuo's Qingfeng Courtyard.
Qingfeng Courtyard is the place where she and Murong Shuo will live after they get married. In order to help the crown prince, Murong Shuo was kicked out of the house, so naturally he had nowhere to go. And although he was able to return to Murong's house after marrying Xiaoluo, the prince had not yet ascended the throne at that time, and he would not leave the prince to take Xiaoluo back to Murong's house, so they lived in the prince's mansion for a while. Xiao Gong is actually quite interested in this Qingfeng Courtyard.
The Murong family is not used to serving by their side, so there will be no one in Murong Shuo's Qingfeng Courtyard on weekdays. Everything Murong Shuo can do will handle it by himself, and he will not fake it to others at all. Right now, since others are not there, there will naturally be no one in the Qingfeng Courtyard, let alone a lamp.
Originally, the owner was not there, and the door of the house and the courtyard were still locked. But Murong Shuo was used to leaving the windows and doors open, and the people in the mansion would not go close to the places that disturbed him. Therefore, when Xiao Gong approached the Qingfeng Courtyard, pushed open the unlocked courtyard door, and walked towards the depths of the unmanned and black courtyard courtyard, there was no obstacle along the way.
