Chapter 22: A Nightmare
A cold spring came quietly, the first half of the night was still the moon and the stars, but the second half of the night suddenly blew a strong wind, and the poor peach blossoms in the garden withered in an instant!
The sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, "I'm afraid it's going to snow again!" Ji Xiang stood at the door of Qiyun Palace and muttered to himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Last night, the prince actually took Zhao Lingxin back to the room! Ji Xiang couldn't figure it out, that Zhao Lingxin was the most annoying on weekdays, especially His Royal Highness the Prince, who would hardly say a word to Zhao Lingxin every day.
But what he saw with his own eyes last night was that His Royal Highness the Prince's love for Zhao Lingxin was definitely not pretended!
"Hey! What a king's heart! O big needle! Ji Xiang muttered again.
Ling Xuan Pavilion.
In the second half of the night, the strong wind blew the entire wooden building swaying, Feng Lingxuan almost didn't close his eyes in the second half of the night, and finally got to the dawn, just pushed the door open, but found that the black wind was hurriedly running from a distance.
"What's wrong?" Feng Lingxuan stretched.
"Lord Wang! News from the palace! Qiao Xiaoqiao left for Dongyu ahead of schedule last night! β
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Black Wind shook his head, "The letter didn't say it!" β
"Your Highness! There was another incident in the palace last night! β
Hei Feng took a step closer and whispered a few words in Feng Lingxuan's ear.
"What?" Feng Lingxuan screamed, "Is this dragon rhino crazy?" β
"I heard that the prince drank too much at the practice banquet last night!" Black Wind added.
"Oh! That's right! Today is a big day for the prince to set off! Why is it at this timeγHaha! Now there's a good show! Feng Lingxuan laughed.
"Hurry up and get ready a fast horse!"
"Lord Wang! You're going toβ"
"You go and prepare!"
"Yes," Black Wind hurriedly retreated.
Qiyun Palace.
Long Xi finally woke up from a messy dream, and when he sat up from the bed, he still had a faint headache.
The sound of the wind whistling outside the window caused him to turn his head to look, and the wind was whistling past the withered petals, "Hey! It's really pitiful for a garden of peach blossoms! He muttered to himself.
Today is the day of departure for Xiguan, which he has not forgotten, but when he just came out of the dormitory, he saw Zhao Lingxin standing in the inner hall with his clothes.
"Your Highness!" Zhao Lingxin's voice was soft and sweet, and her eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
"Hmm!" Long Xi snorted coldly, stretched his arms and let Zhao Lingxin change his clothes.
"That girl obviously said that she was going to be a waiter, but she disappeared after only two days! I'm sure I'm still sleeping at this point! Or maybe you're too shy to come! Long Xi thought to himself.
He hadn't forgotten the scene when Qiao Xiaoqiao was waiting for him at the garden gate last night, and he still felt very happy when he thought about it now.
In the outer hall, the table had already been set up earlier, and Ji Xiang, Mu Qingyun and Xuan Tie were standing silently at the door.
"What are you three standing here for? Hurry up and get ready to go! Long Xi sat next to Zhuo and picked up a bowl of soup.
"Qingyun! Hurry up and go to the room! Tell Yuan Mu to leave early, this king sees that the weather has changed suddenly today, and he is afraid that there will be a heavy snowfall! β
Mu Qingyun stood in place and did not move.
Long Rhino immediately noticed something unusual, and he raised his eyes to look at the three of them.
Ji Xiang stood on the left with a sad face and a dejected face, Mu Qingyun stood on the left side with his head down, and the Xuan Tie in the middle would not hide his emotions the most, and at this time Zhengqi stared at himself fiercely.
"Your Highness!" Xuan Tie took a step forward and said angrily, "Xiao Qiao has already set off for Dongyu last night!" You didn't have any of the escort guards with you! There was only Yuan Mu by her side! β
"What do you say? Last night I spoke to her at the garden gate! But you said she had gone to Dongyu! The dragon stood up.
"Your Highness!" Ji Xiang trembled and fell to his knees.
Before Jixiang could continue, Zhao Lingxin hurriedly stepped forward and fell to the ground with a pop.
"Your Highness! The person at the garden gate last night was Xin'er! Has Your Highness forgotten? It was His Highness who asked Xin'er to accompany His Highness all night! β
"You said you were with this king last night, all night?" A chill from the soles of the dragon's feet rose from the soles of his feet, and the hand holding the spoon began to tremble slightly.
Zhao Lingxin nodded, and two red clouds climbed up her cheeks, "Your Highness has been pestering Xin'er to prevent Xin'er from leaving last night, so Xin'er has no choice but to stay!" β
"Shut up!" Long Rhino shouted, "You lied! You're lying! Do you want to use such despicable means to force this king to submit? The white jade spoon in his hand shattered into two pieces due to excessive force, "Dream! You're just dreaming! The dragon roared.
"This is not true! This is not true! The dragon rhino spun around in place as if crazy, the broken spoon digging deep into his palm, and blood dripping down his fingers.
"You say! This is not true! She's lying! She's lying! He turned his head to stare at Jixiang, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were frighteningly red.
Ji Xiang trembled with fright, where had he seen the prince like this, "Your Highness, Your Highness!" Yes, it's true! Miss Zhao really accompanied His Highness all night last night! Jixiang cried out in fright.
"Lie! You're lying! This king is going to kill you! Kill you! The dragon rhino fumbled around his waist and found nothing, "What about the king's sword?" What about this king's Qinglan sword? He yelled anxiously.
"Your Highness! This Qinglan Sword, you gave it to Xin'er last night! Last night, His Highness said that you can't take care of Xin'er after you go to Xiguan, let Xin'er keep this sword for self-defense! Zhao Lingxin took out the sword from her arms and raised it above her head.
The dragon rhino rushed over with an arrow step, and just wanted to reach out to grab the sword, but suddenly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and muttered in his mouth, "My Qinglan Sword!" My Qinglan Sword! β
Mu Qingyun stepped forward to support the prince's shaking body, "Your Highness! β
"Get out! Get out of here! The dragon roared.
Mu Qingyun looked at the others helplessly, and everyone had to gently withdraw from Qiyun Palace.
No sooner had the door been closed than there was a crackling sound from inside.
Xuan Tie grabbed Zhao Lingxin's collar, "You are obviously taking advantage of people's danger!" Your Highness drank too much wine last night, you obviously know that he was drunk and you are still drinking, but you are still drinking," Xuan Tie couldn't say any more, so he had to let go of Zhao Lingxin weakly.
Zhao Lingxin had been humiliated enough, she forced back her tears and squeezed out a sneer, "I'm saying it again!" It was His Highness who took the initiative to find me! I just did it! If you dare to be so presumptuous, I promise that one day you will regret it. β
After Zhao Lingxin finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the cold wind, her long black hair and red dress were rolling in the wind, looking extremely lonely!
After a long time, the hoarse voice of the dragon rhino penetrated the gate, "Auspicious!" βγ
"Yes! Your Highness! β
Ji Xiang wiped his tears and trotted open the door.
The dragon rhinoceros smashed everything that could be smashed in the hall, and the ground was littered with broken fragments.
"Your Highness!" Ji Xiang choked up and fell to his knees on top of the mess.
"Get up and speak!" The dragon rhino sighed.
"The slave doesn't dare," Jixiang cried.
Long Rhino bent to help him up, "This king was too anxious just now!" Scares you! β
"Woooooo Jixiang couldn't stop crying.
It really scared him just now, but he was more sad for the prince! After following the prince for many years, he is familiar with the prince's temperament, and if it weren't for the extreme heartache, the prince would not be like this.
"Last night's incident, tell the king carefully!"
"Yes! Your Highness! Jixiang stopped crying and wiped his tears.
Last night he was dozing off on the table in the ear room, and suddenly saw a woman carrying the prince into the Qiyun Palace, he had never seen the prince take a woman back to the palace, so he was curious and followed, but when he followed, they had already entered the palace and closed the door.
He thought that the woman was Qiao Xiaoqiao, because the blue dress that the woman was wearing and the garland on her head were exactly the same as Qiao Xiaoqiao's dress on the day of the draft.
But he didn't dare to say it, he mistakenly thought that it was Qiao Xiaoqiao who he saw last night.
"Why don't you stop this king?" Long Xi asked bitterly.
"Your Highness! Damn the minions! It's all the minions' fault! Damn the minions! Jixiang kept blaming himself.
"That's it! That's it! It's getting to this point, it's too late to say anything! β
"Cut it off!"
"Your Highness! There is still something I don't know if I should talk about."
Long Xi sighed again, "So far, what can't be said!" β
"Your Highness! In the second half of last night, the slave met Qiao Xiaoqiao at the gate of the small garden! β
"What? You say Little Joe was in the garden last night? β
"Yes! At that time, Qiao Xiaoqiao was standing in the shadow at the garden gate, startling the minions! But at that time, I saw that she looked lost and depressed! Ask her what she is doing where she is so late? She didn't answer, but the slave went to the guest room to find Yuan Mu, and when Yuan Mu and I came over, it seemed to see, "
"See what?" The dragon rhinoceros raised his voice.
"It seems that I saw her talking to Miss Zhao, and before we got closer, Miss Zhao left, and returned to Qiyun Palace again!"
Long Rhino slumped on the chair and waved his hand at Ji Xiang, "Go down!" This king wants to be alone for a while! β
"But Your Highness! It's about to start! You, "
"This king knows!"
Jixiang had no choice but to retreat.
"So she saw it all! No wonder! No wonder I set off overnight, what did I do! The dragon rhino stretched out his hands and slapped his head vigorously, the wound in his palm was still dripping with blood, and he didn't notice it.
