Chapter 4: Twins
On the huge Hanyuan Palace, everyone retreated, leaving me and Allure standing in the center of the hall, looking at each other for a long time.
Xiao Guifei glanced at us with a smile, flicked her sleeves, and got up to leave without saying anything.
When I saw everyone leaving, I asked her straight to the point, "You said that the star slave is with you, and who is that blue-eyed woman?"
"Do you mean Manguyi?" she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and a touch of blush on her forehead was extremely charming, "It's just a personal maid from childhood to adulthood in this palace, so why should the eldest princess still care about her?"
I didn't want to say some roundabout words with her, the unique hypocrisy of the harem woman really annoyed me, and I said directly: "Your maid kidnapped my brother a few days ago, I don't care if you or Concubine Xiao Guifei instructs, it's best to return the star slave to me quickly! If I find out that you hurt him by a hair, I will not let go of the Qinglou where you stayed in the first place!"
She was stunned and looked at me inquiringly, her expression becoming a little strange.
I was displeased with her staring, I felt like I was staring at myself, and frowned: "You have become my father's concubine today, I should have respected you, but if you take the star slave as a coercion and want to use this to make trouble, I advise you to die of this heart......!"
She interrupted me suddenly, puzzled: "When did the soul writer become your brother?" The expression was extremely realistic and puzzled, "He is my half-brother, who has been separated from me for many years, and was only found by Manguyi a few days ago, and has been living in the 'Qinglou' in the princess's mouth all these days." ”
The younger brother of Allure?
I was instantly stunned by her words, and I was stunned.
When I rescued the star slave on Fengming Mountain, I didn't know his origin, and I couldn't get any information related to his life experience from his mouth. The name Xingnu for him is just from the "Bhagavad Talks", Master Jinghui asserts that he is a mountain child, but now there is a sister, and she is still a concubine of the new book of national color Tianxiang, I think it is quite difficult for me to accept it for a while.
"Why doesn't Celestia speak?" Seeing my tangled expression, Allure chuckled, "Or is it that Celestia can't accept it?"
I wondered, "Xingnu is your brother? How is it possible? He's stupid and stupid, you ......."
I compared the two with difficulty, glanced at Allure, and doubted: "What did the ancient people do strangely, and quietly took away the star slave, I will not believe that you are good people in anything!
Allure was stunned again, and after a while, his lips opened lightly: "Could it be ...... Haven't you told these generals about it?"
I was stunned suddenly, hearing Yuwen Qiye's name from her mouth, the alarm bell sounded in my ears, and I had a strange premonition in my heart.
This feeling is not very good, I pursed my lips and asked in a cold voice, "What does it have to do with him?"
She seemed surprised: "Why does the princess have such an expression?
I waved my sleeves and said, "If you have anything to say, why are you so coy?"
"The eldest princess is really straightforward, then Allure has no choice but to tell the truth. As she spoke, the soft light in her eyes flowed, like a strong poison.
"I've been separated from the writer for several years, and I've been searching for it. In Chang'an, although there are many powers, there are very few who really have the power to send soldiers and horses to track down a person who has nothing to do with the imperial court......
"General Yuwen has always been a frequent visitor to Guose Tianxiang, and I took the opportunity to dance to talk to him about it, hoping that he can help me find ...... Adi."
I asked, "When was that?"
She replied, "On the day of the ninth master's birthday." ”
I sneered and said nothing.
She paced in the Hanyuan Palace, not paying attention to my expression, and continued: "Later, until the day of the Thousand Lantern Festival, the Ninth Master somehow got into a fight with someone, that person was a bully in Chang'an, and the Ninth Master was deeply injured to save me......
"Do you mean that the bully was meant to scare you, and Yuwen Qiye was a hero who saved Mei at this time?"
"Exactly. As if recalling some key place, she lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled, "Manguyi went out to find Langzhong, and was intercepted by the son of the Pei family, and the soul writer stepped forward at this time, Manguyi naturally recognized the soul, but I didn't expect him to be in Chang'an." After Manguyi was rescued by you, he was in a hurry to find Langzhong, although he was taken away by you at that time, but he also knew that he was cautious about this matter. Manguyi can't speak, but when you are a good person, write 'the beauty of the country and the fragrance of the sky' on your hand, and I hope you will let me reunite with his sister and brother as soon as possible." ”
Me: "You think I'm going to easily believe your nonsense?"
Allure stroked his black sideburns with one hand and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to the eldest princess alone." Yu Feng turned, "Why doesn't the princess want to think about it, why did Manguyi know that the soul writer was there in the Guiyuan Zen Temple that day, and only took him away?
Her words echoed in her ears for a long time.
My heart sank, and the words of Allure turned into spells in my mind, making me reluctant to believe it, but I couldn't help but think about it.
Why did Manguyi know that we went to Guiyuan Temple? just to take away the soul?
What's the use of just grasping the soul?
My mood fluctuated for a while, and Qi Ye seemed to be hiding something from me from the beginning to the end of this matter.
It was true that he was injured at the Thousand Lantern Meeting, and that injury could not have been caused by a mere bully.
But on the day he was recuperating in my palace, why did he leave halfway? Did he go to the Guose Tianxiang Building to find her and tell her that the star slave was in the palace?
In the Guiyuan Zen Temple, he talked to me about himself, but Xingnu was taken away by Manguyi. Later, he went up the mountain with me to look for him, but he was ambushed, and his old injuries recurred.
He told me that he was instructed to make a secret visit in the Guose Tianxiang Building, and judging from all kinds of signs, he could only conclude that the Guose Tianxiang Building was related to the Xiao family.
Allure was recommended by Xiao, how much is her one-sided statement true and how false?
I tried to make myself look calm, and only said, "If these words hadn't come out of Kuro's mouth, I wouldn't have believed them." ”
"I hope so. Allure smiled, said no more, only glanced at me deeply, and walked out of the Hanyuan Hall without looking back. The morning sun reflected her distant back, and her graceful demeanor gradually disappeared into the magnificent Hanyuan Palace, like a peerless picture scroll that slowly closed.
After returning to the palace, I found that the silk handkerchief that Qi Ye said that day was washed but forgot to give it to him, the dry plain Luopa, with a bit of delicateness, I put it in my hand and looked at it carefully, and there was a bluegrass embroidered at the corner of the handkerchief. It's elegant.
Sijiu has been fooling around with Changsheng these days, and after Changsheng left with Qi Ye today, Sijiu was extremely melancholy, and he didn't go to the kitchen to tease the big head.
I was a little amused: "Your master is not sitting here and is not as uncomfortable as you, what's wrong?
Sijiu looked at me sadly and nodded, as if someone had robbed me of my virginity.
"Princess, the general is just a supervisor of the south, and he will be back soon. Jinglan comforted her on the side and glanced at Sijiu, "You go and ask Datou to order food, Sister Zhizhi will come back and scold you when she comes back to see this ghost in a while." ”
I wondered, "Where did Zhizhi go?"
Jinglan replied: "When the princess went to preside over the canonization ceremony, the fourth highness hurriedly came to look for you, Zhizhi saw that the situation was urgent, so she went to the Canghua Hall with her highness." ”
I hurriedly asked again, "What happened to Jing Hong?"
"The slave doesn't know very well...... Jinglan recalled for a moment, "Your Highness is in a hurry, it seems that he only said that he wants to save people......"
"Save whom?"
"This ...... Ah, yes! It's Bi Yu, Your Highness said that Bi Yu wants to find a short ......."
Sijiu hurriedly covered her mouth: "My aunt, be quiet...... Princess She ...... Why is the princess gone?!"
