Chapter 213: Surprise
Rong Xi lowered her head and listened to Concubine Qian's words, always feeling that there was something hidden behind her surface, but she refused to say it in detail.
Seeing that there was a tired look on her face, Rong Xi got up and said, "Mother, you can sleep well, and your daughter-in-law will come to see you tomorrow." ”
"Okay," Concubine Qian looked at her, her eyes were deep, as if she was a little thoughtful, and seemed to be glued to Rong Xi's body, "Take good care of yourself." ”
Rong Xi nodded in response, gave a salute and withdrew.
The layers of curtains behind him were lowered, and the soft and slippery fabric fluttered gently, like a piece of soft clouds, and like layers of blurred fog covering the lonely figure behind.
Rong Xi stood at the door for a while, the clouds on the horizon were getting thicker and thicker, and the sky was getting more and more gloomy, before she commanded the palace maid a few more words and turned to leave.
When the carriage was about to reach the gate of the palace, a thunderclap seemed to explode from the nine heavens, splitting the dense clouds, and the heavy rain fell madly from the clouds.
"Hula!" It was as if it was the wrath of the gods, and it was as if the entire seabed had been turned over and covered in the sky, and the rain in the sky was dense into a line and smashed into the earth.
Rong Xi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, the misty water curtain obscured his vision, and he only saw the splashes of water splashing everywhere nearby, and the person driving the carriage did not know when it was replaced by Leng Fifteen, Leng Sixteen stood on the rear of the carriage, and the two of them were one in front of the other to ensure the safe driving of the carriage.
In the blurred vision, there seemed to be a person standing in front of the gate of the mansion, and the curtain of water in the sky flew down from the tiles in front of the mansion, and countless splashes of water splashed, as if washing away the countless lead blooms between heaven and earth.
The figure saw the carriage coming, and walked quickly forward a few steps with an oil umbrella in hand, looking through the crystal rain curtain.
Rong Xi held the curtain and looked at him, in the water waves and shadows in the sky, the rain was densely woven into a pearlescent sky net, so engraved with a damp and continuous state of mind.
At this moment, the eyes seem to turn into silk, closely linked to each other, you look at me, I look at you, as if there is nothing else behind the rain curtain between heaven and earth.
In the middle of the night, Leng Yixiu came down from the steps, step by step, walked to the side of the carriage, and stretched out his hand to her.
The rain was slightly cool, his hair rose in the wind, his eyes seemed to have been washed with water, his eyebrows were thicker and blacker, and his eyes were as deep as a pool, but the eager temperature under his eyes reminded Rong Xi of the scene of the two of them soaking in the hot spring together that day.
She smiled and reached out to put her hand in his palm.
With a slight force, he shook her hand, but threw away the oil umbrella and held her horizontally in his arms with both hands, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Leng Fifteen took the umbrella thrown by Leng Yixiu, Leng Fifteen opened the one on his body, and Leng Yixiu hugged Rong Xi and walked towards the Red Sleeve Garden.
Her cheeks were pressed against his chest, and a chill was felt in the air, but the warmth in his arms was still there, Rong Xi listened to his powerful heartbeat in his ears, sighed comfortably, and slowly closed his eyes.
The sound of rain all around him seemed to have nothing to do with her, and his embrace was her warm world.
Xiao'er in the Red Sleeve Garden had already prepared hot water, and Leng Yixiu directly carried Rong Xi to the clean room, so that Rong Xi could take a hot bath comfortably.
Leng Yixiu retreated with interest, he took a deep breath, feeling that every inch of the air was Rong Xi's breath, if he hugged her in his arms again, I was afraid that he would not be able to control himself again.
He remembered the last time Rong Xi said "hurt the child" with a stern face, and couldn't help but raise his lips slightly.
The rain outside the window became a thread, densely woven together, like a love net hanging between heaven and earth to catch him, but he was in it, extremely happy.
"What are you thinking?" Rong Xi's voice came from behind her, she was wearing loose casual clothes and holding a handkerchief with her hair twisted.
Leng Yixiu turned his head, the people behind him did not apply powder, but they were better than the thousands of colors in the spring, the black hair, the red lips and the plain clothes on the body were thrilling and beautiful.
He walked over, took her into his arms, and smelled the fragrance on her body, "I was thinking, God has treated me so kindly, and I am extremely grateful." ”
Rong Xi nestled in his arms, her heart was at peace, she closed her eyes slightly, and rubbed her cheeks into his arms, like a lazy cat.
Suddenly, Leng Yiwei's face appeared in her mind, and the slightly raised peach blossom eyes were filled with boundless coldness, and she opened her eyes suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Leng Yixiu keenly felt the change in her.
"I met Leng Yiwei in the palace today." Rong Xi said, "He said some very strange things, and he seems to be determined to win the throne. ”
Leng Yixiu sneered, "Of course, he has been planning for many years, so he naturally refuses to give up, not to mention ...... Regarding the affairs of Eastern Xinjiang, he refused to pass us. ”
He said, his arms tightened, "Are you alright?" ”
Rong Xi shook his head, "I'm nothing, I didn't feel anything at the time, but now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that it's a little strange for him to appear there." ”
"Huh?" Leng Yixiu rubbed the top of her head with his chin and said lightly, "Where is it?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the palace road there is going to the harem, who will he see when he goes to the harem? Even the prince can't meet the concubines at will without a summons," Rong Xi's tone became cold, "Moreover, it's not far from the residence of the seventh princess." ”
"You mean......" Leng Yixiu's gaze suddenly sharpened, "The two of them are related?" ”
"There has always been a relationship between them," Rong Xi sneered, one voice colder than the other, "Wasn't the last time I framed me the handiwork of the two of them?" But that time it was a shot in the foot, and this time, I don't know what they were plotting again. ”
To Rong Xi's surprise, a little understanding flashed in Leng Yixiu's eyes, as if she already knew something, she held her head high, "What are you hiding from me?" ”
Leng Yixiu smiled helplessly, put his hands on her cheeks and said, "What will I hide from you?" It's just that the matter has not yet been decided, and I don't dare you to follow the blind imagination and work hard. ”
"Do you know that Leng Yiwei will go to find the Seventh Princess?" Rong Xi squinted his eyes, like a small leopard with hidden claws.
"Hmm......" Leng Yixiu pecked her eyes quickly, and left quickly without waiting for her to resist, chuckling: "Yes, it's a coincidence, I sent someone to check on Rong Qiu's affairs that day, and found that she entered the palace that day, and she was not called to enter the palace, who else can she find besides the seventh princess?" So, her every move fell into my sight. ”
"And then?"
"And then?" Leng Yixiu leaned over and kissed her smooth forehead, "Then...... It was discovered that she had been in contact with Darkley privately, and it seemed that she had asked for something. ”
Rong Xi's eyes shrank, Dacreel's things are not good, the eldest prince in order to please the seventh princess, the seventh princess finally decided to take risks, but she didn't think that she had become a victim, these are all given by Baidacreel's things.
"So, I sent someone to keep an eye on her, and finally quietly sent someone to inform Leng Yiwei," Leng Yixiu said, his hand running through her black hair and supporting her neck.
"Inform Leng Yiwei?" Rong Xi was slightly surprised, "You mean that the things she asked for were for Leng Yiwei?" ”
"That's right," Leng Yixiu replied: "So, I guess that Rong Qiu didn't have a good time in the Qi Palace, although the scenery is infinite on the surface, everyone says that he is the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the limelight is better than that of the King of Qi." ”
"That's a matter of husband and wife, don't worry so much......" Rong Xi said, and suddenly found that a wolf claw had climbed onto his shoulder at some point, groping inch by inch.
"Hey! You ......" Rong Xi shouted angrily, but Leng Yixiu lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and said vaguely: "Hmm...... This is also a matter for our husband and wife, so let's worry about this......"
There is a sound of rain outside the window, and spring is strong inside the house.
Leng Yiwei sat in the study, there was no light in the room, but his eyes were like a ghostly fire, staring closely at a page on the table, the paper was snow-white, and inside was a pile of burned ashes, and there was a little unburned paper corner, faintly flashing with gold threads.
There was also a note next to the ashes, with only a short sentence on it, "His Royal Highness King Qi, your favorite concubine has a surprise for you." ”
Leng Yiwei's fingers gently pinched the piece of paper, gently twisted and ground it on the fingertips, and the thin and brittle paper turned into powder in a blink of an eye, and fell to the ground without a sound.
His gaze was cold, shining like a beast in the dark night, a smile like a blade appeared on his lips, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression at this moment looked like that of the killing god Shura.
Rong Qiu - Okay, hello!
The note had been received last night, and with a "grab" sound a dagger flew in through the window of the study and nailed to the wall, and the paper bag had been found on his desk early this morning.
Although Rong Qiu's demeanor was well disguised yesterday, how could he escape his eyes? Her forced calm smile, slightly trembling legs, and the dodging in her eyes all fell into his eyes one by one, and this qiē made his suspicion fall on the glass of wine.
Even if there is no such thing, he will not drink the things that Rong Qiu brought lightly, or rather, he will not lightly touch the things that other people pass by, he has been cautious all these years, and he can't take things lightly and fall short.
He flicked his sleeves, and those things disappeared with his movements, as if they had never appeared, he slowly closed his eyes, remembering the scene when he met Rong Xi in the palace today, her graceful bearing, and proud eyes, all made him yearn for it.
And at this moment, she is in the arms of another man, and she is also the man who is destined to be her enemy.
Thinking of this, the hatred in his heart was like the waves of the angry sea, and it swept him wildly in an instant, like drowning in water, his chest was squeezed into pain, and he couldn't breathe at all.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, a window was blown open by the wind, and the fine rain blew in, and the cold breath came to his face, which suddenly made him sober.
