Chapter 187: Whereabouts
There was a slight sound of dressing inside, and the woman whispered something, Leng Yixiu stood in the outhouse, quietly playing with the dagger in his hand.
Soon, the heavy curtain moved, a person carefully controlled his head, looked out with a wary face, and when he saw Leng Yixiu, his face changed, he opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, Leng Yixiu's wrist flipped, and a bright white light went straight to Zhao Xiancheng's cheeks.
"Huh!" With a sound, the sound of silk breaking was clear in this quiet night, Zhao Xiancheng only felt a strong wind blowing on his cheeks, and then it was cold, he turned his head to see that less than a finger away from him, the curtain was neatly cut.
His heart trembled, as if the cut was tearing at his heart, and he slowly turned his head, as if the bones in his neck were rusty, and every time he moved, he clicked.
Zhao Xiancheng held his breath and looked at the black-clothed man standing in the outhouse, his figure was as tall as loose, and the tight-fitting black night clothes lined out his tight thin waist and long legs, the cloth was smooth as water, with the unique luster of silk, and there were faint dark lines on the belt around the waist, and a piece of mutton fat jade was inlaid in the middle, the jade color was transparent, moist and flawless.
The man's skin is delicate and smooth, a pair of eyebrows are very high, and there is a kind of elegance between the eyebrows.
Although Zhao Xiancheng is only a petty official, after all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and based on his dress and demeanor alone, he can conclude that this is definitely not an ordinary person, and he is not a burglary at all.
He tried to calm his mood, suppressed the panic in his heart, coughed, and walked out from behind, "This ...... Hero, it's late at night, but what's the matter? ”
"Zhao Xiancheng," Leng Yixiu glanced at him, his snow-white fingers caressing the jet-black blade, with a kind of shocking beauty, "There is something to ask." ”
"Please!" When Zhao Xiancheng heard the other party say this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "If this official knows, he must know everything." ”
"Very good," Leng Yixiu turned his head to look at him, his gaze was like a moment, and it seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "Let me ask you, who is the distinguished guest in your mansion a few days ago?" ”
Between the lightning and flint, Zhao Xiancheng's mind turned countless possibilities, who is the other party? Could it be that the Seven Princes were sent by the government? That's not right...... I heard that the Seven Princes often travel out of the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor knows about this, so it should not be regarded as going out of Beijing without permission.
So what does this man do? Why did he inquire about the Seven Princes? Zhao Xiancheng thought about the pros and cons of saying and not saying, and hesitated slightly for a while.
"Huh!" Just as he was stunned, another white light shot out and flew past his forehead.
Zhao Xiancheng was shocked in his heart, feeling a slight coldness in the corners of his forehead, he stretched out his hand and touched it, a few strands of gray hair fell into the palm of his hand, his face suddenly turned pale, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes...... It's ......" Zhao Xiancheng trembled while not forgetting to turn his head and look at the curtain behind him.
Almost immediately, Leng Yixiu flicked his two fingers, and there was a low muffled hum behind the curtain, and then a person fell.
"You can say it now." Leng Yixiu said expressionlessly.
Zhao Xiancheng's body shook again, but he couldn't care about the life and death of his new aunt now, so he just gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" In case of...... If you say the wrong thing in the future, you will know to your guests that you will be beheaded. ”
"Oh?" Leng Yixiu smiled softly, there was a faint sarcasm in that smile, and there was obvious murderous intent, he looked at Zhao Xiancheng's eyes and became cold for a minute, like an upside-down ice cube under the eaves in winter, "However, if you don't say it, you don't have to wait until the future, you will die now." ”
Zhao Xiancheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the cold sweat on his forehead quietly seeped out, and he subconsciously shook his palm, which contained Leng Yixiu's hair that had just been shaved off with a hidden weapon.
"Who is that distinguished guest...... His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. Zhao Xiancheng finally couldn't bear it and said truthfully.
"Hao Lian Zize?" Leng Yixiu's eyes shrank suddenly, like sharp needletips, "Why is he in such a hurry to rush back?" ”
"It's because ...... The queen mother was seriously ill, and the seventh prince got the news and took the famous Xiu Gongzi of the city back to Beijing overnight to diagnose the queen mother. Zhao Xiancheng didn't dare to hide and hesitate in the slightest.
"Xiu Gongzi?" Leng Yixiu's heart moved, "What does he look like?" ”
Zhao Xiancheng thought for a while and said: "That person is tall and slender, and his appearance is delicate, but it is rare to ...... There is an indescribable bearing on his body, and by the way, there is a small red mole on his cheeks. ”
His first few words made Leng Yixiu's heart almost jump out excitedly, he believed that the kind of bearing on Rong Xi's body that looked at the world must have made many people feel special, but his last sentence made Leng Yixiu's heart bubble fiercely as if he was thrown into ice water.
Red moles?
Leng Yixiu didn't need to think about it to know that there was no red mole on Rong Xi's face, not only did he not have it on his face, but even ...... There is no body on the body, she is so white and flawless, and the whole person seems to be carefully carved with mutton fat and white jade.
Don't...... Did you find the wrong person?
He didn't speak, Zhao Xiancheng was stunned and didn't dare to make a sound, the room suddenly fell silent, even the air seemed to be losing little by little, and the sense of urgency was pressed on his heart layer by layer, making people a little breathless.
Finally, Leng Yixiu opened his mouth and said: "Zhao Xiancheng is so interested, don't bother, goodbye." ”
After that, he turned around and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night like a lingyan, the summer breeze blew in through the window, and Zhao Xiancheng, who was wearing a middle coat, couldn't help but shiver.
Leng Yixiu walked out of Zhao Xiancheng's mansion and went straight to the inn, Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen followed, and when he walked to the door of the inn, Leng Yixiu turned around and said, "Go and see, has the housekeeper who went to collect medicine come back?" ”
"Yes."
It was just a pillar of incense, and Leng Fifteen came back to report that the old housekeeper had not returned.
Leng Yixiu waved his hand, "Go down and rest, pass the order, and set off to the capital of Mingxiao Country early tomorrow morning." ”
Leng Fifteen's head hung lower, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he and Leng Fifteen retreated together, and the two of them went out and looked at each other silently.
Rong Xi, who was far away in the capital, suddenly woke up from a dream, the cold and slender hair in the dream was scattered, the wind and dust on his body were simple, and he walked in the wind, frost, rain and snow that jumped, and the wolf walked up to her and said: "Rongxi, I came to find you, you ...... Rejoice? ”
You...... Rejoice?
Rong Xi opened her eyes and looked at the top of the bed, the delicate pattern looked a little cold, and outside the window was a cold moonlight, she couldn't help but sigh......
Thinking of Leng Yixiu's wolf appearance in her dream, she smiled silently again, with a bit of self-deprecation, came to find herself? How could he?
He must have hated himself to death, he thought that he was cruel not to his children, but how could he believe the words of others and not his own?
Her hand gently stroked her lower abdomen, and her eyes suddenly became a little sour, cold and ...... You big idiot!
In the early morning of the next day, Rong Xi had just gotten up, and someone outside came to report that the Seventh Prince was coming.
Rong Xi has a headache, but there is no way, this is the palace of the Seven Princes, it is a place for other people, and he is a guest, where is the reason why guests do not let the host enter the door?
She nodded, and the person who reported went out, Hao Lian Zize walked in quickly, his face was beaming, and his face was even more coquettish and high-spirited against his vermilion clothes.
Rong Xi's heart was slightly sour, I have to say, this guy is indeed beautiful, and he always wears vermilion clothes, although the styles and colors are different, but the color has never changed, thinking of the reason he said for wearing this kind of clothes, Rong Xi said a little admiration for him.
"Ah Xiu, I really want to thank you," Hao Lian Zize smiled all over his face, "This morning, the Queen Mother sent someone to spread the word, she felt much better after taking your medicine, and it was the first time in many years that she felt this way." ”
Rong Xi nodded and said: "That's good, it's just that the grass people don't dare to bend their efforts, this is mainly because the queen mother is willing to open her heart and open the knot." ”
"Don't always be a grass people," Hao Lian Zize leaned over to look at him slightly, his eyes were shining, like some kind of cunning animal, "There are no outsiders here." ”
Rong Xi took a few steps back without moving, stood down in front of the small table, poured two cups of tea and said, "Your Highness, drink a cup of tea." ”
"It's okay," Hao Lian Zize picked up the teacup and took a sip, "After breakfast for a while, you can accompany me into the palace to meet the queen mother." ”
Rong Xi is not very willing to go from her heart, she really doesn't have a good impression of the palace, and she has to talk with the mother of a country, what is there to talk about? It's nothing more than some old things, and countless facts have proved that the less you know about secrets, the safer, and it's better to know less, especially these royal secrets.
"I ...... I want to go to the street to buy something for a while, I wonder if His Highness can go alone? If the queen has any instructions, it is not too late to ask someone to inform the grass people. Rong Xi came up with a reason and said.
"That's ......" Hao didn't even embarrass Zi Ze, took out a gold ingot from his arms and said, "What do you want to buy?" This is for you, don't worry, there will be more, the queen mother has already sent someone to arrange it. ”
"This ......" Rong Xi was hesitating whether to accept it, in fact, it was a matter of course to receive money for medical treatment, mainly because she understood Hao Lian Zize's thoughts, and she really didn't want to have anything to do with it.
"You deserve it," Hao Lian Zize interrupted her and said, "Otherwise...... Shall I go shopping with you? ”
"No thanks."
