Chapter 44: Deliberation

The full moon hung high, Xuanyuan Xue somehow disappeared from sleepiness, tossed and turned on the bed, and finally gave up, picked up the thin clothes on the hanger, and draped them on his body to the court alone. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but I don't want to be under the shadow of the bamboo, there is already a figure sitting on the stone bench, leaning back on the stone table with both hands, looking up at the starry sky.

"Qingling." In Xuanyuan Xue's impression, she had never seen Qingling so silent, and she walked up with a light smile. Qing Ling also didn't expect that at this hour, Xuanyuan Xue would appear here, he was slightly stunned, and said hello with a smile in the blink of an eye.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Xuanyuan Xue sat next to her, also looking up at the starry sky, and asked casually.

"En......" Qing Ling muttered, but he didn't say anything further. Today is the third day of the first month of October, how many years ago today, it was when he met Wan Yi in the Qinglong Palace, from that time on, Wan Yi took care of him like a mother, teaching him how to become the master of the first palace, how to use the qi of the green dragon, how to take on his due responsibilities. When he is sick, he is cared for.

Every year today, Qingling misses it even more, Xuanyuan Xue is delicate, seeing the sadness in Qingling's eyes, she also guessed who it is. So, he got up and laughed and said, "Wait for me for the time being." When he had finished speaking, he turned and went back to the house.

Xuanyuan Xue took the candle flame, took down a delicate sandalwood square box in the flower butterfly pattern cabinet, smiled proudly in her hand, and turned out, "I've been busy before, and I always can't get together with you, so this will be delayed for you." Xuanyuan Xue handed the box to Qing Ling, Qing Ling looked puzzled, Xuanyuan Xue smiled and bowed, "Just open it and take a look." ”

Qing Ling didn't know the reason why Xuanyuan Xue gave him this, thinking that he didn't entrust anything to her, but he thought about it again, anyway, it didn't hurt to take it for nothing. So, I took it with a smile, but I didn't want to open it and my heart cramped, and my smile condensed, which was particularly unnatural, "This is ......"

Xuanyuan Xue leaned over and sat down, also with a nostalgic look, gently but carefully took out a book from the square box, the paper has been turned up with the passage of time, Xuanyuan Xue stroked the first two words, Qingling. She thought it to him, but handed it to him.

"This is ......" Xuanyuan Xue paused, and for a moment felt tears in her eyes, "When I cleaned up Wanyi's room, I found it, I think it should be returned to its original owner." ”

Qing Ling's mood was aroused, this book was originally recorded by Wan Yi about his homework, of course, there will be some criticisms, and then later, Qing Ling gradually grew up and took on the burden of the Qinglong Palace, and it was not common for the two to go out to run errands. So, Wan Yi thought of something to instruct Qing Ling, so she wrote it in the notebook, and then handed it over to Qing Ling, Qing Ling occasionally wrote some recent situations, and gradually the book became a medium for the two of them to convey the 'love between mother and son'.

The moment Qing Ling touched the notebook, his hands trembled a little, and his vision blurred immediately after, he quickly turned his back, not wanting Xuanyuan Xue to see it, "Thank you." ”

"No thanks." Xuanyuan Xue smiled faintly, "I'm jealous of you." Seeing that Qingling was a little stunned, Xuanyuan Xue smiled and said: "Wanyi loves you more than us, maybe your parents are no longer alive." She pays more attention to you, on weekdays in Xuanning Palace, if there is anything delicious and fun, I can't even get it, and I have already arrived at you. Xuanyuan Xue looked quite indignant, "Let's just say that that year, how many interesting things the Miao people carried, Wanyi didn't let me take any of them, and gave them all to you." At the end, Xuanyuan Xue snorted softly, crying out for grievances.

"Poof!" Qingling was amused, and he didn't believe it. Wanyi's thoughts about Xuanyuan Xue, Qingling is also clear, where can she be worse than herself?

Later, Wanyi ...... Walked suddenly, for us children, I only left you this notebook. I didn't open it, for fear of being too envious and jealous. Xuanyuan Xue's nose was sour, remembering three years ago, her heart was even more sad, and she was afraid that tears would fall, so she quickly turned her back to the sky and smiled, "Look at me." ”

Qing Ling clenched the book in her hand, as if she was holding Wanyi harder, and was silent just hoping to feel her breath more.

"I know you blame me." Xuanyuan Xue stared at Qingling with a light smile, "It's just that at that time, I really had no choice." If you are allowed to enter the enchantment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ensure that the Xuanning Palace is complete. The Xuanning Palace has balanced the power of the Three Realms for thousands of years. The head of a middle-aged Xuannu in the human world is the highest price, and everyone wants to take advantage of the lack of Xuanning Palace to achieve the name of their life. Xuanyuan Xue held her breath, but her eyes were no longer soft, but she became sharp, "I can't, I can't ruin the generations of Xuannu, who have been carefully cared for and maintained, of course, there is also Wanyi's share." ”

Xuanyuan Xue leaned on the stone table, and Qing Ling on the side lowered her head, unable to see any emotion, "I don't expect you to forgive me." Xuanyuan Xue got up, "I just hope you don't fall deeper and deeper, I understand the feeling of dependence on each other, and I also understand the desire for mother's love, but in the end we have to grow up and take on more." ”

Qing Ling looked up at Xuanyuan Xue s back, a teenage woman with such a heart and courage, Qing Ling smiled, sure enough, it was a Xuannu who was brought up by Wan Yi, and ordinary people, no. Even the women in the four houses are different, and they are incomparable. Qing Ling stroked the notebook, and the long-lost warmth in his heart seemed to be Wanyi telling him again that he should no longer play with the child's heart.

"Xuanyuan Xue!" Qing Ling called lightly, Xuanyuan Xue stopped and looked back, Qing Ling was silent, only smiled and patted his chest and made an unhindered gesture. The two looked at each other and smiled, Xuanyuan Xuesong was much faster, "Go to bed early." ”

Returning to Fang Xuanyuan Xue alone, she was also a little tired, and turned over and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Tilting Moon came in early to serve Xuanyuan Xue as instructed, "Master, don't you really need to accompany you?" Tilting Moon was a little uneasy thinking that Xuanyuan Xue was going to see Ling Xuan today, and somehow, she always felt that something bad would happen.

"No, I already informed Chu Su last night, he will send someone to pick him up, don't worry." Xuanyuan Xue shook her head left and right, looked at it and saw that she was dressed properly, so she got up and walked out, "Xuancobalt will go to investigate the rumors, Qingling will also go to do the affairs of the demon clan, you and Mei'er will take a half-day vacation, feel free to go shopping." ”

"Yes."

Out of the door, the family in the Chu Suspicious Mansion had already parked the carriage and waited for Xuanyuan Xue. Seeing Xuanyuan Xue come out, she hurriedly came up to beat Qian'er, Xuanyuan Xue smiled gently, "There is labor." ”

The carriage bumped all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace, Chu Su rushed to the court, and when the carriage stopped, Xuanyuan Xue got out of the carriage, quite approving, "Brother Chu is so actuarial, he is so good at the time." I don't think it's okay to be a general in the future, and it's okay to be a minister-in-charge. ”

"You girl, start making fun of people when you are divided." Chu Yi smiled and led Xuanyuan Xue inside, somehow, he originally planned to do well, and he should have thought about it. The moment she could step into the palace gate, Xuanyuan Xue suddenly felt a drum in her heart, and she always felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that she had lost the aura she had just now, Chu Su smiled warmly, "You girl also has someone to be afraid of?" He loves you the most, just say what you have, but you are not allowed to talk like last time, you know? ”

Xuanyuan Xue was silent and only nodded.

Chu Su didn't say much anymore, and walked forward steadily, "Huh? Xuanyuan Xue saw that Chu Su stopped, a little unclear. Chu snorted out laughing, his finger shook in front of Xuanyuan Xue's eyes, and with a finger outward, Xuanyuan Xue was startled, looking at the majestic Gaowu Palace, it was so soon to arrive.

"Tell you to shake all the way." Seeing Rhett come out, Chu Wei tilted his head and looked at Xuanyuan Xue, "You have to cheer up now!" ”

"Yo! This...... This is not ......" When he arrived, Red was afraid that he didn't expect Xuanyuan Xue to follow, and stammered a few times Seeing Chu Wei looking at him with a smile, he suddenly sobered up and hurriedly saluted, "Say hello to the girl." ”

"There you go." Chu Su touched his cuffs and turned around, not forgetting to instruct, "Remember to speak well." ”

Xuanyuan Xue frowned slightly, and Chu Wei chuckled, "Look at my uselessness, your business, how can I follow in?" I'm waiting for you here. ”

Xuanyuan Xue saw that Chu Su was sitting and ignoring it, so she had to nunu her mouth, sighed deeply, and motioned for Red to lead the way.

Entering the hall, Ling Xuan looked at the fold and didn't even raise his eyes. When Ling Xuan looked at the excerpts, he didn't like to be disturbed the most, and when he saw Red's hesitant appearance, Xuanyuan Xue smiled heartily, waved his hand and told him to go down, and stood in the court and waited quietly.

For a long time, Ling Xuan didn't know what he saw, he sighed helplessly and wanted to drink tea but found that the tea cup in his hand was already cold, and he looked up with displeasure and was about to call Red to come in and serve, but he didn't expect Xuanyuan Xue's figure to come into view, and the brush in his hand lost the strength to hold it and slipped down.

"Xue'er ......" Ling Xuan didn't expect Xuanyuan Xue to suddenly appear, the things she sent her a few days ago were basically sent back as they were, and it was the last time, Ling Xuan estimated that she was afraid of refuting her own face, so she accepted it. Ling Xuan was secretly angry and no longer bothered Xuanyuan Xue's leisure, but he still missed her, so at the moment, he had a love and hate in his heart, and he lost his momentum for a while.

Xuanyuan Xue smiled faintly and bowed, "I have something to tell you." ”

Although the words were as casual as in the past, the leaning body made Ling Xuan feel Xuanyuan Xue's intentional alienation, and he frowned unconsciously, "Does it have to be like this?" After a pause, after a pause, Ling Xuan finally opened his mouth, with heartache and pleading. Xuanyuan Xue also felt pain, don't turn her head and stop looking at Ling Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, "These days, the four palaces have tried their best to investigate the matter of the demon clan, and found that the original demon clan's holy relics contained the Inner Dan of the Ancient Demon Lord, which fell in the Northern Jingguo three years ago. ”

Xuanyuan Xue narrated steadily, but Ling Xuan didn't have the heart to listen to this, it was the Demon Race again, and it was the Three Realms, Xuanyuan Xue, when? When will you be able to talk to yourself about the two of them?

"Don't get distracted." With just a glance, Xuanyuan Xue knew that Ling Xuan's train of thought was not here.

Ling Xuan lowered his face, "What do you mean, the demon clan wants to attack my Northern Yasukuni?" ”

Xuanyuan Xue shook her head, "It's not Beijing, it's Yuling." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ling Xuan's heart was suddenly awakened, "What! ”

"Be careful." Seeing that Ling Xuan got up and the teacup in his hand was knocked to the ground, Xuanyuan Xue hurriedly went up, picked up Ling Xuan's hand and examined it carefully, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he continued, "I just discussed this matter with you, don't worry." ”

Such a scene, in Ling Xuan's memory, seems to have been there once, when was it? By the way, even after the **** had a big quarrel with Xuanyuan Xue, Murong Ying was also concerned about checking whether she was injured.

Suddenly, Ling Xuan took Xuanyuan Xue into his arms, how much sorry was he? At this moment, he suddenly understood Xuanyuan Xue's words that day, she was just chatting with Xuancobalt, but she was carrying her behind her back to have fun with other women, even if there was a reasonable reason, for Xuanyuan Xue, Ling Xuan knew that it was a kind of injury that had to be accepted.

"What do you do?" Xuanyuan Xue was stunned for a moment, but she didn't push him, and let him ring herself hard. After a long time, seeing that Ling Xuan's strength was a little smaller, Xuanyuan Xue propped up on his chest, and she didn't have the heart to think about anything else now, "Such a big thing, I'm afraid that the demon clan is menacing, and I'm afraid it's too late for the four palaces to gather." I think if you send troops, you will be led by Chu Su to protect the safety of Yuling, and as for the demon array, it will be solved by Xuanning Palace. ”

Xuanyuan Xue saw Ling Xuan's eyes flickering, and didn't know the reason for Ling Xuan, she only felt that he was hesitating, so she asked timidly, "Okay?" ”

"Huh? Good. Ling Xuan came back to his senses and let go of Xuanyuan Xue, as if he was looking for something on the table, Xuanyuan Xue smiled in a low voice, picked up the paper in his hand and handed it over, "Thank you." "How could Ling Xuan have been so polite to Xuanyuan Xue, Xuanyuan Xue frowned lightly in his heart, what's wrong with him today?

Although Ling Xuan was in a trance just now, he was particularly clear in his mind in giving orders, and he made arrangements one by one for which departments cooperated and where to mobilize troops, "Rhett." As soon as Ling Xuan called, Red immediately came in, and Ling Xuan handed over the paper, "Hand it over to General Chu, and after careful consideration, tell me as soon as possible tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

"Yes." Red obeyed the order with both hands, respectfully took two steps back before turning around and walking away quickly.

"Alright." Xuanyuan Xue saw that the matter was done, shrugged her shoulders and smiled, then now she also needs to go back to arrange manpower.

"Wait." Ling Xuan called Xuanyuan Xue and looked at Xuanyuan Xue's clear gaze, but he didn't know where to speak for a while.

"Our business...... Wait. Xuanyuan Xue looked at Ling Xuan's eyes with hesitation, and her heart was depressed, "Wait for the demon clan to stop." ”

Ling Xuan smiled bitterly, it was a demon again...... He didn't want to hear it, so he waved his hand to stop Xuanyuan Xue's words, "I'll wait for you." He was full of longing, and Xuanyuan Xue's heart hurt, and she had to tell herself that she couldn't be soft-hearted, otherwise, Ling Xuan would only be more embarrassed. She cannot, she can't make him miserable.

So, when he turned around to leave with a faint smile, the door of the temple was pushed open again.

"Your Majesty." Rhett bowed forward, knowing that Xuanyuan Xue was beside him but different from Fang Cai's acquaintance, he didn't dare to look at her directly, Xuanyuan Xue was puzzled, and turned his eyes to see the spirit following behind, and before he could react, he only listened to the happy report of the spirit: "Congratulations to the emperor, my mother is happy, it has been more than a month." ”

Eyes intertwined, one was full of embarrassment, the other was suddenly at a loss, Ling Xuan opened his mouth to explain but was like a fish in his throat, Xuanyuan Xue only felt that his heart fell into the ice hole, shivering with cold, and fled without hesitating the salute. Finally, Xuanyuan Xue finally understood why Ling Xuan was so strange today, it was like this...... How is that......
