Chapter 122: Don't wade into this troubled water
Walking on the way back to Penglai Pavilion, I couldn't keep up my footsteps.
Thinking back to the "words" of Xiao Si just now, not only did not solve the doubts in my heart, but added new doubts.
Xiao Si is by the lake, writing on the sand with branches.
The words written by this simple "pen" also made my eyes shine.
Remembering what the scar-faced man said, he once stayed in the empress's study, and it seemed to have become smooth.
It's not easy to write such a stroke, I guess there aren't many palace people in the entire palace who can compete with him.
But what he wrote
"Xiaoling!"
When I arrived outside Penglai Pavilion, before I entered the side door, Qingzhi had already walked towards me.
Seeing me wandering on the road unrelentingly, I was half angry and half amused and said, "Send a snack, send a drawing, why did you come back with this picture?" Are you being bullied? β
I quickly came back to my senses and walked quickly towards Qingzhi: "Sister, there is nothing to do, everything I want to do has been done." β
"The drawings were all sent to the repair office?" Qing Zhi asked me.
"I sent it, but Sister Qingzhi, the master over there also felt strange that the emperor changed the tricks."
"Well," Qing Zhi nodded, "We don't know about the entanglement, but when I think about it later, it may be related to the recent situation in the Lin De Palace?" β
"What's the situation, what's the situation?" I was stunned, pinched the corners of my clothes with both hands hanging down at my side, and looked at Qingzhidao.
"You know, lately. The status of the Lin De Hall is not as good as before, "The attitude of His Majesty Qingzhi is what determines the direction of the wind in this palace." β
"The emperor was snubbed, maybe he made some changes to win His Majesty's attention again?"
"Flower pots?" I muttered something in my own voice. Some looked at Qing Zhi speechlessly, "The style of a flower pot has changed?" β
"This is indeed a small matter," Qing Zhi paused and said, "However, since he wants to change, it can't be just such a thing." It's just a matter of focusing on small things. β
I heard the implication in Qingzhi's words.
"Maybe every few days, he will also rectify the palace people in the Lin De Palace."
Qingzhi speculated thoughtfully.
"Is it the same as what my sister did before?" My eyes lit up and I asked.
"That's right, Xiaoling. I came out to look for you because I just got some news and want to discuss it with you. "Qingzhi is colorful.
"Sister, you say." I quickly asked her.
"There's going to be a feast in the palace every few days."
As is customary. It's not a big deal. But the treasury has just caught fire, and the war in the north is stalemate, is it really appropriate to hold a banquet at this time? I moved between my eyebrows and looked at Qingzhi. "As is customary, the people in our flower garden need to help."
"In the past, this was mostly done by the imperial monarchs of the Lin De Palace," Qing Zhi glanced into the distance. "This time it hasn't been decided yet. β
"I'm going to talk to you. It is the arrangement of the banquet venue at that time, and these things will definitely fall on our heads. β
"What should I be," I said with a smile, "what my sister said just now is solemn, I am still worried that something big will happen, and I will definitely do my best to assist my sister in the matter of arranging the venue." β
I looked at Qingzhi earnestly and said, "You can rest assured." β
Qing Zhi had a little smile in her eyes: "Xiaoling, I saw you on the road just now, and the whole person seemed to be sleepwalking, can you be considered awake at this time?" β
"My sister made fun of me."
Qingzhi said with a bit of inexplicable affection in her tone: "Xiaoling, you went to the training ground, and I heard that the whereabouts of your sisters have all been decided?" Because this time it has not been decided, there are also a lot of rumors in the palace. β
My eyes darkened, and I lowered my head weakly, it was not good to tell her, and the matter of sending snacks should be handed over to Xiao Si to do, after thinking about the rhetoric, I shook my head and said: "I asked, but they said that the female official did not reveal her tone, and their hearts are also hanging at this time." β
Thinking that this answer was not satisfactory, I added: "I quietly entered through the side gate of the training camp, and directly found the sister who lived with me, but it was still in a hidden corner, and few people saw it. "I'm afraid that if I go in so generously, many people will stop me and ask me questions when they see me."
I said in a fluent tone: "The time to delay me is small, and it is not good to delay going back to the flower garden to reply to my sister." "Ghost girl, count yourself as clever." Qing Zhi nodded and smiled.
"It's all the same." After listening, Qingzhi sighed, "When I came in, I was just as worried as them, but later it was my master who went to the training site to see it and directly settled me." β
"A heart is a let go."
"Speaking of which, my sister's master back then was very discerning."
"Little girl, pick and choose." Qingzhi reached out and patted me on the shoulder, obviously in a good mood
On the same way back, it was not easy for Xiaosi to walk on the road.
He walked around the palace for a small half circle, and finally came to the big lake.
Although it is late autumn, the scenery by the lake is also very pleasant.
From his point of view, the boats moored on the lake were gently swaying in the wind on the water, and the small building on the island in the middle of the lake could be seen through the lake.
Xiao Si looked at it intently, and he didn't know how long he stood before he sighed and walked back to the small courtyard.
The door was quiet, the palace people of Qingsi Hall did not come to disturb again, two or two people came today in vain, and I don't know if there will be a group of palace maids tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Xiao Si couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, and when he pushed the door in, he saw the scar-faced man guarding the door, and as soon as the eyes of the two people met, Xiao Si lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
"You come with me." Scarface whispered to him.
He led the way, and Xiao Si followed him into the room full of treasures.
"Sit here." The scar-faced man pointed to a stool in the room, but Xiao Si didn't speak, and sat down according to his words.
Scarface took a few steps back and opened the drawer from the workbench he used often, and he reached in and pulled out an envelope.
Walking in front of Xiao Si, the scarface man happily handed him the envelope and said, "Open it and take a look." β
Xiao Si stared at the envelope for a few seconds before slowly reaching out to pick it up.
The envelope didn't stick, he opened it and felt inside, pulling out an object.
Xiao Si unfolded it in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at the scar-faced man.
The scarface man saw his suspicion and replied, "This is for you." β
Xiao Si seemed to be burning his hands and was about to hand back the envelope, but the scar-faced man shook his head and said, "If it is given to you, you will continue." β
"Your hometown is in the north of Sealand," the corners of the scar-faced man's mouth moved, and he turned to a stern expression, "Listen to my advice, don't go to this troubled water, those unpleasant things, you should forget jΓ¬." β
Xiao Si's gaze became cold in an instant, and his expression when he looked at the scar-faced man also changed.
"Don't look at me, that's not what I meant." The scarface man glanced at him
"Who, you ask?" The scarface man smiled self-deprecatingly, "In short, it is the meaning of the person who can control the whole situation, but it is not something that people like you and me can guess. "But there's one thing, you can rest assured."
The scar-faced man looked alert, suddenly paused, walked to the door and listened to the movement outside, before returning to him and said, "What you care about, the empress of Sealand will never be able to get it." β
"Absolutelyβcan't get it!"
Xiao Si's heart was shocked!
His eyes waved, and the expression he looked at the scar-faced man was even more touched. "Do you remember that senior brother of yours?" The scar-faced man said with a bit of laziness, "Recently, he has also arrived in the national capital, and he will enter the palace in a few days." β
Xiao Si suddenly stood up, took a step closer, and grabbed the scar-faced man's shirt with both hands. "Let it go!" The scarface reprimanded, "It's not for me to decide, it's none of my business!" "I tell you, your senior brother is very safe, and if you don't do it, he will continue to do it." "If you are familiar with the Sealand Palace, you are not as good as your senior brother!"
"Don't forget Jì, he is your master's most important disciple."
The scar-faced man smoothed the wrinkled placket of his clothes, squinted at Xiao Si and said, "If you can't hold your breath so much, you will lose your senior brother, and if he switches places with you, I bet his face will not change." β
Xiao Si lowered his head, his eyes blinked, and the expression on his face was gloomy.
The scar-faced man stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Listen to my advice, it's always right." "I also have to warn you, the Northland is not safe, and it is not peaceful, although the great war has been delayed because of the earthquake, but you also know that this battle will definitely be inevitable." "So if you want to settle down, it's better to go south." "Back then, your master died in vain, and I know that you always have a hurdle in your heart that you can't get over, but if you stay here, it won't make much difference, but your senior brother can still help a little." "It's no secret, he has already helped us a few times since he arrived in the national capital, although he didn't do things under our people, he made it happen." "With that alone, we'll keep him safe."
"There are only two left in your division, except for you, it is him, when the dust settles and you settle down, you might as well be with him, and you can take care of it."
"If Sealand is not to your liking, you are worried that there will be aftermath, and it is okay to go to a neighboring country."
Xiao Si didn't speak, he kept his head down and listened silently to the Scarface man's narration, his eyes always looking at the ground in front of him.
He looked so intently that it was as if he were trying to find a flower from above.
The scar-faced man has already explained a lot to him in a way that is good and avoids disadvantages, mixed with persuasion by the way.
Seeing that this little mute was still silent, and his heart was a little impatient, the scarface man stepped forward and asked, "Have you thought about it, you haven't been in the palace for a day or two, haven't you figured out the truth yet?" β
Xiao Si finally raised his head and looked at him, but instead of answering, he made a gesture.
The scarface man doesn't know how to speak dumbly, but he understands this gesture! (To be continued......)
