Chapter Sixty-Nine: Freedom

After a fuss last night, Tang Siqi had already returned to the palace, because he was in a hurry, so he didn't bother to come up to visit her, but just told Xue Tianao to take care of Miss Xiao Er on the way, and to ensure that she entered the palace safely, and then left in a hurry, Xue Tianao told Xiao Wanyao without concealment, without considering the image of Emperor Tang Siqi.

"He fled back to the palace before dawn yesterday, and no one told him, for fear of alarming others, but he asked me to guard the paddock until the fifth day, to ensure that the hunt went smoothly and to save his royal face." Xue Tianao sat in the tent, except for her and Xiao Wanyao, there was no one else, so when Xue Tianao spoke, he did not hide his contempt for Tang Siqi at all.

"I'm curious, how did he tell you when he left?" Xiao Wanyao couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, if it weren't for the wound, Xiao Wanyao would definitely laugh forward and back.

Xue Tianao took a sip of Biluochun, and then imitated Tang Siqi's expression and tone: "Just now there was a secret report from the palace, there are military affairs in the court waiting for the widow to deal with, but the five-day hunt has to continue, just trouble Tianao, you are guarding here, try not to alarm others, and don't fight with Miss Xiao Er recently, she is injured, you can accommodate it, don't say it, the widow will go first......"

Fortunately, I no longer love this man in this life, and look at him from the perspective of a bystander, the king of a country can be so cowardly......

The key is selfishness and hypocrisy.

In the next three days, the ministers left the paddock one after another, leaving behind all Xue Tianao's cronies, because Xiao Wanyao wanted to follow him back to the palace, so he stayed in the paddock and didn't leave.

Xue Tianao could finally take Xiao Wanyao's hand and walk on the grassland without any scruples, and Xiao Wanyao was also held by him, and he didn't feel embarrassed.

There are many weeping willows planted around the paddock, with the spring flowers, the weeping willows have drawn new branches and buds, becoming tender green and soft, Xiao Wanyao asked Xue Tianao to fold a willow branch for her, and then skillfully folded the willow branch with her hand, pulled out a piece of bark on the branch, and made the most primitive whistle.

Although there are only three simple notes, Xiao Wanyao can use it to blow a beautiful melody.

The three notes keep changing, long and short, and the tone is abrupt, but it has become a pleasant tune.

Xue Tianao also broke a bit, but he couldn't blow anything.

Xiao Wanyao smiled, but didn't pay attention to him, and played the melody of his childhood by himself, while Xue Tianao gave up after blowing a few times, and then took out a Tao Xun from the bag between his belts.

Xue Tianao is good at playing Xun, and Xun's voice is different from Dizi and Xiao, Xun's voice is long and mournful, low and simple, and these ancient instruments have these that cannot be compared with other musical instruments.

In the previous life, Xiao Wanyao had heard Xunqu before she died, but she didn't think it was a life talisman.

Looking at her past and present lives, Xiao Wanyao felt that between her and Xue Tianao was a joke played by God, a lengthy joke.

She was still eighteen years old that year, although her right hand was not dexterous, but it did not affect her beautiful and moving appearance, Xue Tianao came to ask for marriage, but was rejected by Xiao Wanyao, at that time Xiao Wanyao already had someone else in her heart, the young man she met by the river, she liked his gentleness, liked his elegance, liked him to be indispensable to others, but only to her gentle appearance.

At that time, it was a girl's feelings, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help falling in love with Tang Siqi, and later she could use this emotional shield to see Tang Siqi's shortcomings, knowing that before Xue Qingyi told her the truth, Xiao Wanyao loved him so much even if her leg was broken.

Love is blind, at that time, Xiao Wanyao couldn't see Xue Tianao in her eyes, although Xue Tianao chased her relentlessly, even after she entered the palace as a concubine, she never looked at Xue Tianao, she only knew that he was a famous prodigal son, a gentleman who was unknown to everyone in the imperial capital.

Xiao Wanyao's only deep impression of Xue Tianao in her previous life was only one, that is, standing outside the Ning Zi Hall on a snowy night, the snowflakes fell on his body one after another, giving her an illusion, always feeling that there was a layer of light on his body, that day she happened to pass by Ning Zi Terrace, where she looked at Xue Tianao for a long time, and always felt that this Xue Tianao was really different from usual, making people feel strange, but because of this, he aroused Xiao Wanyao's curiosity, and couldn't help but want to get close to him and understand him, but the good times didn't last long, just the next day when he blew Xun, Tang Siqi beheaded him on some trumped-up charges.

As for the specific reason, it is still a mystery, but in the previous life, Xue Tianao always pestered Xiao Wanyao, and this matter also became a heart disease for Tang Siqi, because of Xue Tianao's identity, Tang Siqi has been holding back, so it is unlikely that he will kill him because of this matter.

When he met him again in this life, Xiao Wanyao saw through it and no longer had expectations, and because of this, he gradually discovered that Xue Tianao was not the same as what he usually looked like, and she also saw and remembered her kindness to her, and the two of them seemed to be destined, and this life and the previous life could not be together after all.

Xun's voice stopped, and Xue Tianao stepped forward to wipe her tears: "Why did you cry without saying anything?" Think of something unhappy? ”

Xiao Wanyao had been immersed in her grief just now, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had burst into tears. Watching Xue Tianao wipe away her tears, Xiao Wanyao felt a little embarrassed.

"Did the sound of Xun make you think of something unhappy? Xun is such a musical instrument, because it is ancient and simple, so it is easier to hit people's souls and resonate with life...... So if you want to communicate with the person you miss with your soul, you have to ...... Xun in your voice" Xue Tianao handed her the Xun in his hand.

She could think of the snowy day in Ning Zi Hall again, who did Xue Tianao miss at that time?

"It's just...... I thought I would be back in the palace tomorrow...... I...... It's very sad......" Xiao Wanyao said, the only thing worth her grief at the moment should be this.

"So that's it." Xue Tianao smiled slightly, and his hanging heart was also put down, "Those who stay are my cronies, as long as you nod, I can take you to the end of the world now." ”

Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "You know that I won't leave now, my uncle and younger brother haven't left the capital yet, and this matter will drag on forever." ”

Xue Tianao's eyebrows were wrinkled together, he pursed his lips lightly and didn't know what to say, and finally just touched Xiao Wanyao's forehead and didn't care about her anymore.

She lives too cautiously, and she lacks the strength to ignore it, and she doesn't know if she can leave the palace if she continues like this......

Although Xue Tianao thought so, he didn't say it, he just let her be! It's a big deal, he'll clean up the mess then.

Straightening up her outfits, Xiao Wanyao reluctantly got into the carriage back to the palace, and before getting into the car, she glanced at Xue Tianao, and Xue Tianao was riding on a horse and was also looking at her.

That's probably the farthest distance, right!?

returned to the palace in a leisurely manner, Tang Siqi wanted to see her, but she excused herself under the excuse of being tired of traveling, Tang Siqi did not make any other moves, and Xiao Wanyao went back to the courtyard to rest.

Seven days later, the wound began to scab, and the gauze was removed by Xiao Wanyao early, and Licorice was relieved to see that the wound was about the same size as Xiao Wanyao had described before.

It's the beginning of summer in a blink of an eye, but fortunately, Xiao Wanyao's body has completely healed, and the injury is the most difficult in summer, but it's different in spring.

Licorice also dutifully applied ointment to Xiao Wanyao every day, so now there is basically no scar, only a shallow trace.

Licorice was quite happy about this, because the palace had enough Chinese medicinal materials and was the best, so Xiao Wanyao improved the prescription, and licorice also easily got the medicinal materials, so that Xiao Wanyao's scar was quickly erased.

So taking advantage of these days, Xiao Wanyao had a good rest, and finally ushered in the next important day in the palace.

Today is Xiao Wanyao's birthday, but it seems that only Xiao Wanyao knows in the palace, she has never had the habit of having a birthday, this day is no different from every day in normal times for her, and she has no plan, she just wants to stay quietly in the courtyard.

In the evening, Xiao Zhuangzi came in and said that Xue Tianao wanted to see her, Xiao Wanyao didn't think much about it, so she followed Xiao Zhuangzi out, but she didn't see Xue Tianao all the way, but walked more and more like she was going to Ning Zi Palace, and she was still a little uneasy in her heart, so Xiao Wanyao still asked: "Xiao Zhuangzi, didn't you say that you want to see Xue Gongzi, where is this coming?" ”

Xiao Zhuangzi stopped at the intersection and said: "Xue Gongzi said, it's okay to send the second miss here, and the second miss knows how to go for the rest of the way, and the slave will stay here and not leave, second miss, you can rest assured!?" ”

Xiao Wanyao walked to the Purple Hall in disbelief, hesitated for a moment and decided to enter through the back door.

When I opened the back door, I thought it was dark, but I didn't expect that both sides of the road were lit with candles, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Xiao Wanyao was a little surprised, looked up, there was Xue Tianao standing at the end of the road, he didn't see Xiao Wanyao, he was still lighting a candle at the moment.

Hearing the footsteps, Xue Tianao turned his head to look over, and saw Xiao Wanyao's slightly surprised face, he unhurriedly lit the candle in his hand and put it down, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, you are here." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded a little flusteredly, and Xue Tianao smiled gently: "What are you always standing there for?" Come here! ”

Xiao Wanyao let out an "oh" and walked over by the light of the candle.

When she passed, she found that candles were also spread around the Purple Terrace.

"Is this ......" Xiao Wanyao asked in surprise, looking at these beautiful candle flames, which warmed people's hearts in such a quiet night.

Xue Tianao put down the last candle, then walked towards Xiao Wanyao, touched her head gently, and said in a small voice: "Girl, you are really nineteen years old, happy birthday." ”R1154
