Chapter 42: Revenge
From then on, Qu Lisheng would still let her accompany him to read and practice calligraphy from time to time, as if she had not saved a qiē that day, and he would never mention the poison and ink on her body, but the more he was like this, the more Xia Guang was worried about what he would do. Whenever she saw Yesheng Song, those thoughts automatically came to her mind.
When a person gets into the horns, it is difficult for him to get out again without a satisfactory answer.
After many days of ideological battles, Xia Guang still decided to propose it to Yesheng Song in person.
After the lunch break that day, Xia Guang took the initiative to ask Cuiliu to take her to find Yeshengge, but after searching the entire palace and finding no trace of him, someone finally told her that Yeshengge, that is, their eighth prince, Qu Lixuan, was summoned into the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and has not returned yet. Xia Guang only then remembered that his foot injury had been healed for more than half of the time, as long as he paid more attention to rest and less movement, it was no different from usual. At that time, when she was poisoned, he would come over, also because he wanted to sue him, his foot injury had been healed for the most part, but he didn't expect it to be when he was poisoned. In fact, if it weren't for him at that time, she didn't know what would have happened. He remembered the tiredness on his face when he woke up, the joyful look in his eyes when he saw her wake up, the disappointment he showed for a moment because of his questioning, and the cold look in his eyes before leaving. Xia Guang's mood also rose and fell, and finally converged into a silent sigh.
"Miss Xia, what's wrong?" Cuiliu asked Cuiyu in a low voice. For a while, she saw that Xia Guang was always frowning, and she knew that she was worried at a glance.
Cuiyu had been staring at Xia Guangsui all the time, but when she asked, she hurriedly looked at Cuiliu, looking out of state, and replied, "Huh?"
Seeing her innocent look, Cuiliu suddenly lost the ** to continue asking. She walked to Xia Guang's side and whispered, "Girl, are you thinking about the prince?"
Xia Guang was asked by her, and her whole body paused, of course, this was also an instant, she waved her hand, and hurriedly said, "How come, I just feel a little bored." ”
The more she was like this, the more Cuiliu felt that she was right, and she persuaded in a low voice, "Miss Xia, the prince ......"
Xia Guang didn't know what she wanted to say, she suddenly stood up and interrupted Cuiliu's words, "Cuiliu, how are my two crickets now." ”
Cuiliu was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "The girl's two crickets are very good now, although their tentacles and legs can't grow back, but the recent cry has been much brighter. ”
"Oh, is it?" Xia Guang seemed to ask, but then said, "Cuiyu, you can take me to see it." ”
Cuiyu glanced at Cuiliu carefully, and only when Cuiliu nodded slightly, did she dare to nod fiercely at Xia Guang, which looked very well-behaved.
Cuiliu and Cuiyu are two maids, Cuiliu talks a lot, does things more neatly, and often chats with her, and Cuiyu has always been looking at Cuiliu as the horse's head, what she says, Cuiyu will respond to something, as if she has no opinion, because of this, the people in this palace think that she likes Cuiliu a little more than Cuiyu. But Xia Guang knew that she had never had a good impression of Cuiliu, but she trusted Cuiyu who had been listening to Cuiliu.
Looking at Xia Guang's departing back, her always smiling face became cold and gray, she secretly clenched her fists and muttered to herself: "You are just a painter who is known by the fame of the eldest prince of Xuanyuan, and you actually want to climb the eighth prince." Hmph, shameless. ”
When Qu Lisheng received the holy decree early in the morning, he guessed something.
It wasn't until he entered the imperial study and saw a few people standing inside that he really confirmed the purpose of the saint calling him into the palace.
He walked to a silk curtain, bowed to the people inside, and then asked Andao: "Minister, meet the emperor." ”
The person inside raised his arm, and between the throws, he showed the demeanor of a king, but his voice was unusually warm, "The eight kings are exempt." ”
Qu Lisheng stood up straight, took a few steps back to the side, and then did not speak again. Now that he knows the purpose of his visit, he should listen to what they have to say before he can think about what he should do.
"Eight kings, this time I called you into the palace, because Qing Shui said that he found a very talented painter, I heard that this painter was accepted into the palace by you, he had the heart to make friends, went to the palace many times to pay homage, but he didn't see anyone for a long time, this is not a hurry, so I came here to ask for people. Wen Run's voice said unhurriedly.
Qu Lisheng stepped forward with a smile and waved at the people inside the curtain again, "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, but a while ago, the face of this king was scratched by a wild cat, and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so he neglected Lord Qing Shui, the first painter of our country." And the emperor also knows, this king is also a person who loves painting, seeing such a virtuous person, he wants to stay a few more days to intersect. ”
Xuanyuan Qingshui and Ji Bangsha, who were standing in the study, looked at each other, they didn't know about Qu Lixuan's face injury, and thought that he was deliberately hiding it. Of course, they can't be sure now whether what the Eight Kings said is the truth or if it's a procrastination.
After hearing this, the people inside laughed and said: "It seems that the guards of the palace are not well managed, and there will be wild cats that can hurt the prince, it seems that the palace is too loose on weekdays, and the prince should be punished more." ”
Qu Lisheng replied: "This king has already been punished. ”
The people inside the curtain said to Xuanyuan Qingshui and Ji Bangsha: "You also heard it, the eighth king said that his face was injured a while ago, and it was inconvenient to see guests, and now his face injury has healed, you just go back with him to see the painter's face." ”
Hearing that the emperor has already said so, where do they dare to refute anything, they can only come forward and give a salute.
"Now that the matter has been settled, then you should retreat first, and I still have something to discuss with the Eight Kings. The person inside the curtain nodded, and then waved everyone back, leaving Qu Lisheng alone.
When everyone in the study left, the person in the curtain came out, and he had a mask on his face, which was different from Xuanyuan Qinglong, it was a very kind face, and when people saw it, they would want to know what the person under this mask was like.
"You found her?" Although he couldn't see the face under the mask, he was very excited to hear the voice.
Qu Lisheng didn't nod or shake his head, but just smiled, "It seems that you have placed a lot of people around me?"
Qu Lixuan smiled bitterly, he knew that his imperial brother was angry, "You are the king of a country, how can I not plant more people by your side, I heard before that you were almost assassinated when you were in Xilai Town, how can I not do anything." ”
"Lixuan, I said, I have no interest in this throne at all, what kind of king of a country, these are just what I did to take revenge on her and you at that time. ”
Qu Lixuan took off the mask on his face, then pointed to his face and said, "Brother Huang, do you know why I was willing to pretend to be you to sit on this throne in the first place, you once said that if you find her, you will come back." But where do you put me when you say these things now?"
"Lixuan, when you caught her, when you scratched her face, when you took her poisonous blood, where did you put me?" Qu Lisheng looked at the face that was exactly the same as him, and said coldly. "Now that I've finally found her, how could I pull her into this whirlpool. ”
Seeing him such a gloomy appearance, Qu Lixuan took a few steps back, he never thought that he had done so much for him, but he still hated him so much.
Qu Lisheng looked at this imperial brother, and couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, he naturally knew that he, the imperial brother, would do those things for him, but if something happened, it would always be between the two of them. He stared straight at him and said softly, "Lixuan, this is my revenge on you. ”
"My revenge on you, eternal life sits on this throne in my name, and governs the mountains and rivers of this country for me. ”
After Qu Lisheng left, that sentence kept echoing in Qu Lixuan's mind.
"My vengeance against you, eternal life sits on this throne in my name. ”
"My vengeance against you, eternal life sits on this throne in my name. ”
……………………
He looked at the mask in his hand, but the laughter grew louder and louder, so that he didn't notice it until the mask in his hand finally fell to the ground.
"Qu Lisheng, do you think I'll just let it go? Do you think you really have to be able to keep her?"
