153. Between Husband and Wife (6000+)
Lan Qingcheng wanted to jump off the horse, but his palm accidentally touched the uneven skin on his back, and his heart chuckled.
"What's going on?" She asked subconsciously.
Ye Xi lowered her head slightly and replied with a smile: "It's just that the injury I suffered in the valley before scared you?" End"
What was the feeling coming out, Lan Qingcheng's palm gently stroked those scars.
I still remember the scene of his back she saw in the cave of the canyon, a blur of flesh and blood, and the texture of his skin would become like this, which was also a matter of course.
But this is a matter of course, which made her heart hesitate again when she originally wanted to leave him, and the injury was suffered because of her after all.
And, he almost lost his life because of it, and now that he has come back from the dead, some of the estrangement between them before seems to be slowly dissipating.
Feeling Lan Qingcheng's distraction, Ye Xi lowered his head and smiled at her, the horse stopped, he put his arm around her waist, hugged her and turned over and dismounted.
Princess Yongkang, who returned to the entrance early, only shot two hares, and she was talking and laughing with the queen, but when she saw the appearance of Yexi and Lan Qingcheng, she stared at the two with a pair of jealous eyes.
Moreover, the mask on Ye Xi's face disappeared at some point, and that fairy-like handsome face was exposed in front of everyone's eyes like this, causing countless amazing eyes.
The most eye-catching thing is that he leans on Lan Qingcheng, who also has a captivating face, in his arms, and the picture of the two sitting on a horse and galloping on a horse is so beautiful.
Together with the Queen Mother, they were a little stunned when they saw this scene.
Then, the Queen Mother's eyes caught a glimpse of the blood on Lan Qingcheng's calf, and hurriedly ran to Lan Qingcheng's side with the palace maids and grandmothers beside her.
On the other side, Ye Xi held Lan Qingcheng with one hand, and with the other hand, took the beast from the horse's back and threw it on the ground.
There are hares, pheasants, wild geese, and a wild deer, which can be regarded as a good harvest.
Lan Qingcheng stood aside and watched his neat movements, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The words she had deliberately and ruthlessly spoken when she was in the woods were still in her ears, but she knew very well that they were no longer the same as before, even if she was forced to look away, she couldn't take her eyes off when she thought of him who had been lost and recovered.
Ye Xi turned around, just met Lan Qingcheng's confused eyes, he still smiled evilly, casually threw the arrow basket on his back to the ground, picked up Lan Qingcheng and walked to the high platform.
The Queen Mother greeted her.
"Yu'er, what's wrong? How did it hurt? Show grandma! The Queen Mother stopped Ye Xi and looked at the piercing blood on Lan Qingcheng's legs and feet in distress: "What about the Imperial Doctor?" Call the Imperial Doctor right away! ”
The Queen Mother gave an order, the Imperial Physician was invited, Ye Xi put Lan Qingcheng on the chair, and the Imperial Physician respectfully lifted Lan Qingcheng's leg.
Examined the wound on her leg.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the Jade Princess's leg was injured by a beast clip, but fortunately, it was a skin injury, and after taking the medicine, you can rest for a few days!" The Imperial Physician respectfully reciprocates.
"In that case, give the Jade Princess medicine immediately!" After a little relief, the Queen Mother's anger did not fade, and she recruited the steward of the hunting ground
The steward saw Lan Qingcheng's leg wound and trembled and crawled on the ground.
"You are so bold, you dare to put beasts in the forest, this hunting ground is a royal hunting ground, others are not allowed to hunt in it, the mourning family sees that you don't want this life!"
The steward's body trembled like a sieve valley: "The queen mother spares her life, the lower officials don't dare, the lower officials have always been respectful of their duties, never dare to disobey the emperor's orders, the lower officials have 10,000 guts, and they don't dare to put animal traps in the hunting ground!" ”
"You are the steward, and you are in charge of this hunting ground, and there is a beast trap in it, could it be that we can't put it?"
"This ...... This one...... Actually......" The steward hesitated, his eyes quietly looked somewhere, as if he was frightened, he hurriedly lowered his head again: "The lower official doesn't dare to say!" ”
"The mourning family wants you to say, what do you dare not say? Your Majesty, you said yes, right? The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor majestically.
"As long as you tell the mastermind behind the scenes, I will spare you and not let anyone hurt you!" The emperor opened Chrysostom.
There are more and more people returning to the exit next to them, and they are talking to each other one by one.
The steward suddenly looked at Ye Xi, and he boldly pointed at Ye Xi: "It's the King of Shu, only the King of Shu has been to the hunting ground before, and the King of Shu said that he came to the hunting ground in advance to familiarize himself with the terrain, and then he can win the hunting competition area, except for the King of Shu, no one else has come!" Because the king of Shu is deeply loved by the emperor, the lower officials dare not stop him, who knows that he will ......"
I heard that someone poured dirty water on Yexi, Lan Qingcheng
Annoyed to tap the armrest, and just about to speak, Ning Yanbin behind her pressed her shoulder and told her not to speak.
Just now, when he saw Yexi's face for the first time, Ning Yanbin knew that this time, he still lost, and he lost completely.
When Yexi was gone, he didn't have a chance, and now, when he came back, he wouldn't have any more chances.
"Brother Ning, don't stop me, this person must have been bewitched by someone, that's why he framed Ah Xi, I must be ......"
Looking at her nervous appearance, Ning Yanbin's last bit of hope was shattered.
Closing his eyes slightly, when Ning Yanbin opened them again, his eyes were clear: "Jade Princess, don't forget, he is the King of Shu, since he has accepted this identity, you should believe in him, believe that he has the ability to deal with this matter!" ”
"Brother Ning, I believe him, but others don't believe him!" Especially in this treacherous imperial court, trust is the most extravagant, even if it is ...... The King of Shu was the emperor's favorite one.
"Qingcheng, don't let worry blind you." Ning Yanbin sighed and persuaded again.
Lan Qingcheng, who was subjectively worried that consciousness had the upper hand, naturally couldn't think about this problem objectively.
In other words, as long as she encounters something about Yexi, she can't judge the problem objectively, and Yexi's matter is always her dead end.
Princess Yongkang was the first to stand up and kicked the steward to the ground.
"You are nonsense, how can the King of Shu be a murderer, this princess is tired of being alive and wants to die, right?"
Princess Yongkang lost her temper, and the queen anxiously ordered someone to step forward to pull Princess Yongkang away, and Princess Yongkang kept scolding.
"You let go of this princess, this princess will kill him, and watch him chew the root of his tongue again."
When Princess Yongkang was gone, the steward knelt on the ground again.
The emperor squinted dangerously, and his superb eyes stared at the steward's face: "Do you know what you just said?" Do you know what kind of crime it is to frame the prince? ”
The steward trembled: "The lower official knows, but what the lower official said is the truth, don't dare to lie at all, please let the emperor know!" ”
Yexi, who was accused of being the murderer, looked at the steward with an evil smile, without the slightest worry on her face.
"Oh, you said that this king has been to the hunting grounds, can you tell me the specific time when this king came here?" Ye Xi asked unhurriedly.
The steward's eyes rolled: "It was the afternoon of three days ago, and the specific time is not very clear, but the lower official is sure that the prince came in the afternoon three days ago." ”
"In the first half of the afternoon three days ago, this king was in the south of the city, and there were many people who could testify for this king, how could this king come to the hunting ground?" Ye Xi's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he asked coldly.
The steward immediately answered: "The second half of the afternoon, that is, the second half of the afternoon, yes, you came in the second half of the afternoon, from the south of the city to this hunting ground, only half an hour, the lower official remembered, when you came, the king of Shu, when you came, it was already evening." ”
The steward took things quickly, and the others also thought that Yexi would be severely punished, and the steward who felt this was very proud.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.
The steward hadn't been proud for a long time before he heard the emperor say coldly: "Three days ago, in the evening, the King of Shu was in the palace, when did you see him?" ”
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the steward was stunned, and then looked at Yexi's smiling face, and the steward secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he was designed by Yexi just now, and as a result, he was allowed to take advantage of the loophole.
He can't afford to frame the king of Shu.
Lan Qingcheng originally wanted to use her left hand to find out the mastermind behind the stewardship, but seeing the situation in front of her, she felt that it was too much.
Who is Yexi, he probably doesn't need her to do those things for him at all, right?
She couldn't help laughing at herself, she almost exposed herself just now because she was too nervous.
"The emperor, the emperor, and the lower officials did see the king of Shu, and it was the king of Shu...... He ......"
"What do you mean by this, do I protect the King of Shu? Could it be that when I met the King of Shu, I will be more confused than your head? With a 'snap', the emperor slapped his hands on the table in front of him: "Say, who instructed you to frame the King of Shu?" ”
The steward trembled on the ground in fright, and explained in a trembling voice: "The lower official didn't, what the lower official said was true, and the lower official ......."
"You still dare to quibble, come on!" The emperor shouted angrily, and immediately two Ouchi guards approached the steward.
Seeing that the Ouchi guards were about to drag him down.
If you are taken down by things, it is a dead end, and
Moreover, he will definitely not be able to stand the torture instruments in the torture room.
"The emperor, the emperor, the lower officials said, the lower officials said, the lower officials all said that it was the crown prince, and it was His Royal Highness the crown prince who asked the lower officials to do this." The steward suddenly bit the road to death, and said to the prince in a panic: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must save the lower official, those things are what you asked the lower official to do, you said that as long as the lower official does it, you will reward the lower official with a bright future, you can't see death and not save it!" ”
Ning Yanyan's eyes under the white cloth suddenly tightened his pupils, and he suddenly stood up in anger.
"You said that this palace ordered you to do these things, what evidence do you have?"
The steward took out a piece of paper from his sleeve as if he was juggling: "This is the handwritten letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the lower officials, if you don't believe it, you can check the handwriting of this letter!" ”
Handwriting?
Ning Yanzhan rushed forward to snatch the letter as he spoke, ignoring the imperial doctor's advice, ripped off the white cloth in front of his eyes, and glanced at the letter with a dazzling light.
The general content of the letter is that the beast is framed by the king of Shu!
The handwriting was clearly a parody of his.
However, the letter was never written by him.
"Father, this letter was not written by my minister, and my son never wrote this letter, you must believe my son!" Ning Yan's eyes were pierced by the strong light, and there was a sudden darkness in front of him, and the picture that was bright just now disappeared: "The eyes of the palace, the eyes of the palace......"
Ning Yanyan covered his eyes in a panic.
Seeing this, the imperial doctors hurriedly rushed to Ning Yanyan's body again and took him to a dimly lit place.
When the imperial doctors were treating Ning Yanyan, everyone had already checked Ning Yanyan's handwriting, and the results showed that the letter was indeed Ning Yanyan's handwriting.
The eunuch returned to everyone and announced a shocking result: "His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes, blind!" ”
Everyone is wrong.
The word blind is equivalent to the death penalty of Ning Yanzhan, what else can a blind prince do?
And the moment he learned that he was blind, Ning Yanzhan had already fainted.
The emperor was angry in his heart, and he wanted to order an investigation of Ning Yanyan, but when he heard the news that he was blind, he was also distressed.
After all, the crown prince has been by his side for so many years, and he is his own son, he is now blind, and curing his sins again is tantamount to sprinkling salt on his wounds.
"Take this steward down, interrogate carefully, and decide the rest when you go back to the palace!" The emperor gave a cold shout.
The emperor gave such an order, and everyone already understood that the emperor was distressed by the prince, but the emperor had the courage to pluck his tiger hair when the emperor was unhappy.
"Yes!" The crowd responded.
The hunting tournament ended with Wei Jie, the daughter of General Wei, tied for first place with Ning Yanbin.
The Queen Mother has been by Lan Qingcheng's side, shouting at Lan Qingcheng, so that Lan Qingcheng felt the family affection after his father and mother left for the first time.
Although this family love was obtained by deception.
I wanted to go back, the Queen Mother wanted to take Lan Qingcheng back to the palace to raise, but later, because the wind blew in the hunting ground, the Queen Mother got a cold, and the decision was abandoned.
Before she could reach her carriage, a person suddenly walked behind her, picked up Lan Qingcheng domineeringly, and walked to another carriage.
Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei didn't react for a while, and when they reacted, Lan Qingcheng had been put into his carriage by Ye Xi.
"Our master has his own carriage, please return the master to us!" Feng Yi boldly asked for the night light.
Seeing Ye Xi's face, Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei of course both knew who he was, because Lan Qingcheng didn't demolish it, and they didn't debunk him in public, but it didn't mean that they would agree with Ye Xi's approach.
He is obviously still alive, obviously by the master's side, but he pretends not to know them, although he doesn't know what the reason is, but as long as the person who makes the master sad, it is their refusal to come and go.
"Moreover, our master has an injury and needs to go back to recuperate." Yao Yiwei also spoke.
"This king just wants the Jade Princess to sit comfortably, you two are too fussful, even if this king takes her back to the house, there is only a wall between her and the Blue Mansion, you can take her back at any time!" Nightshade said with an evil smile.
Compared to their carriage, Nightlight's carriage did look a little more comfortable to sit in.
Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei glanced at each other.
For the sake of Lan Qingcheng's body, the two decided to give up Lan Qingcheng and let her sit in the carriage of the King of Shu.
As Ye Xi said, the Blue Mansion and the Shu Wang's Mansion are only separated by a wall, so he can't play any tricks, let alone ...... The other party is Ye Xi, how could Ye Xi be unfavorable to Lan Qingcheng?
For Yexi's proposal, Lan Qingcheng refused.
"Fengyi, Yiwei, you two help me back." Lan Qingcheng was unhappy and instructed the two.
"Master, you sit in the carriage first, and when you return home, we will pick you up!" After Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei finished speaking, they quickly slipped back to the carriage of the Blue Mansion.
"You two stop me!" Lan Qingcheng hurriedly called Fengyi and Yao Yiwei, and the two had quickly disappeared.
Then, Ye Xi got into the carriage, Lan Qingcheng subconsciously got up, Ye Xi quickly held her hand, and she was forced to sit back.
But she had a wound on her leg, a stinging pain when she just moved, and her strength was not as good as his, and in the end, she had to sit in the carriage.
"Let's go."
Heiyin and Tao sat outside the carriage and began to wave their whips, and the carriage began to move with a creak.
Because they are in the suburbs, the road is unstable, and even the spacious carriage of the night light cannot avoid bumps.
When Lan Qingcheng was turned upside down, a pair of hands reached over in time and moved her body to his knees.
"What do you do? Let me go! Lan Qingcheng subconsciously rejected his embrace.
Yexi's domineering strength, where is Lan Qingcheng his opponent, he easily tightened her in his arms, just like she was on horseback before, she had nowhere to escape.
"The two of us are husband and wife, between husband and wife, what are we doing when we see each other like this?" Ye Xi smiled at the little woman struggling in her arms.
Because of the struggle, her white and tender face was flushed with pink, as attractive as a flower.
There was a faint body fragrance on her body, and when she struggled to sweat, the fragrance was a little stronger.
He never knew that a woman's body fragrance was also so confusing.
Just holding him like this, his body already felt hot and dry, and somewhere under him was shouting for rebellion.
Hmm~~ I didn't expect my reaction to her to be so strong.
I don't know what it was like when the two of them fell in love.
Although he didn't have her in his memory, he had a hunch that he would still fall in love with her even if he didn't have those memories from before.
Her self-confidence, her strength, her stubbornness, everything about her, is so dazzling that he can't take his eyes off it.
Lan Qingcheng stayed in his arms, felt his strong arms, absorbed the warmth from his body, and swallowed back the words that he wanted to refuse.
I have to admit that she is still attached to him, and there is a hard shell somewhere in her heart, because everything that happened in the canyon has been shattered, and she can no longer treat him with the same mood as she had been in the past three years.
Because she couldn't push it away, she obediently stayed in his arms, quietly enjoying this rare warm time.
※
Soon, the carriage traveled to the front of the Shu Palace.
Feng Yi and Yao Yiwei, who rushed to the gate of the Shu Wang's Mansion early, waited for Ye Xi to take Lan Qingcheng off the carriage, and the two hurriedly greeted them.
"Leave the master to us!" Yao Yiwei saw that Ye Xi didn't mean to put Lan Qingcheng down, so she asked him.
"This king doesn't think that it will be appropriate for the two of you to hold Qingcheng, since you have arrived at the door, this king will personally send her home!" Ye Xi rejected Yao Yiwei's proposal, picked up Lan Qingcheng and walked to the door of Lan Mansion.
Yao Yiwei wanted to say something, but it was rare for Fengyi to open up and pull Yao Yiwei.
"The master didn't refuse, what are you making a fuss about?"
Ye Xi sent Lan Qingcheng to the door of the Lan Mansion, and before he could say anything, a person suddenly came out inside, and that person was Luo Ya, who was in a mess: "You're finally back, Baozi...... The bun is gone, right...... I'm sorry! ”
After saying that, Luoya fell to the ground and fainted.
