"Princess, will the slave serve you to bed?" This is the third time that Uzhna has asked Toya, who is still reading at night under the lamp. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tuoya rubbed her eyes, seeing that Urina and Su Rina were a little tired, she couldn't bear to work hard for them to accompany her, so she had to close the book, "The book in the Central Plains is really good, and it's already so late if you're not careful." ”
"Princess, we have a long way to go, why are you in a hurry at this time, if you are tired, the gains outweigh the losses." While helping Tuoya to widen her clothes, Urina persuaded her, after all, if the princess was always greedy for reading so late, wouldn't it hurt her body.
"Go and rest, too." Toya saw that the two girls were really sleepy, so she told them to go down and rest.
Su Rina extinguished a few lights, left two, dimmed the fire a little, and withdrew.
Toya just closed her eyes, but she heard a loud noise outside the post house, and the pace was compact, as if there were many people. I heard the sound get closer and closer, and then there was a knock like raindrops at the door.
"Open the door, open the door."
The doorkeeper of the inn ran to open the door, "Who, it's in the middle of the night." ”
The door creaked open, "Yo, Li Dutong, are you coming to the post house in the middle of the night?" ”
"We're chasing a key criminal, he's missing around here, he's been seen hiding here, we're here to search for someone." Li Dutong's voice had the strength of a military general, and before he could get an answer, he waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to start searching.
The head of the post house hurriedly stopped him, but where were those officers and soldiers willing to listen to him, "Li Dutong, I can't help it, do you know who lives here?" If you trespass like this, aren't you afraid that the other party will blame you? ”
"Isn't it just a northern barbarian, what is there to be afraid of." Li Dutong snorted coldly.
The noise outside has made Toya unable to sleep, even if she wants to be deaf, I'm afraid the other party won't give her a chance to pretend to be deaf and dumb for a while, and the officers and soldiers who searched returned to him one after another to report that they didn't find it, and now only she and the two girls are left in the room.
"Princess Anning, we are ordered to arrest the key criminals, and we also ask the princess to make it convenient for us to go in and search."
Toya put on her clothes, pushed open the door, and stood in the courtyard, at this time, the post house was already lit by torches, "Li Dutong, this palace is the princess of Anning in the Northern Underworld, do you want to search my boudoir?" Or do you think I'm going to harbor a fugitive? ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, we are just a routine, please be accommodating." Li Dutong simply hugged his fists, and he was all saluted.
Toya looked at this so-called Li Dutong, and she was really disrespectful to her.
"A small capital commander dares to be so disrespectful to this palace, do you think that the status of this palace is low, or do you think that this palace is easy to bully?" Toya always exhaled like a lan, but the flat tone did not reduce the deterrent power of this sentence.
Li Dutong only retracted his momentum a little, but the disrespect in his eyes only deepened, "If Her Royal Highness the princess has a clear conscience, let us in and take a look, we must catch this person." ”
"Speaking of which, Li Dutong still thinks that this palace will harbor the fugitives of your Qingxuan Kingdom, and this palace is beginning to be curious, is our soldiers and horses in the Northern Underworld Kingdom not fat enough, or is the number one Yonghe princess given by the emperor less than a Dutong?"
The corner of Tuoya's mouth let out a cold snort, and her body turned to the side, "But please Li Dutong go in and take a look, but this palace must also make it clear, if you find someone, you will be killed and punished, but if you can't find someone, this palace will definitely face the saint at dawn to ask for an explanation, this palace wants to see who is supporting you behind your back, giving you such courage, daring to be disrespectful to this palace." ”
Li Dutong, who was originally menacing, was shocked by Toya's words, and his feet that wanted to step into the room shrank back. He looked into Toya's eyes, as if trying to see something in those eyes.
In those eyes, in addition to calmness or calm, this kind of calmness made Li Yu lose his courage, he naturally knew the consequences of not being able to find people, no matter whether this woman with a veil on her face was the rumored ugly girl or not, but her identity was an ironclad fact, if she really had to let the Qinglong Emperor give her an explanation, even if he had more excuses and reasons, in order to calm this woman's emotions, who would blink if he sacrificed him.
Li Yu took a step back and bowed his hand, this etiquette was thoughtful, "Mo Jiang was in a hurry just now, and he bumped into Her Royal Highness the princess, if there is anything to offend the princess, please forgive the princess." ”
"For your sake, this palace can spare you this time, but if there is a next time, this palace does not dare to guarantee that you can get out of the way."
"Thank you for the princess's mercy, don't say goodbye to this, it won't affect the princess's rest." After Li Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand to the officers and soldiers behind him, and everyone was like a retreating tide, coming and going quickly, and in an instant, the small courtyard returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Princess, they are disrespectful to you, they are disrespectful to the Northern Underworld, should we report the Great Khan?" Surina asked Toya for instructions.
"It's just some subordinates who are not doing well, if we really get angry with them, but we lose our bearing, it's okay, you two go down, Su Rina, this palace remembers, when this palace came, Father Khan brought a medicine box to this palace, do you remember where to put it?"
"Princess, what do you want the medicine box for? Is there something uncomfortable? Surina looked the princess up and down, and didn't notice that she was sick when she went to bed just now.
"I was bumped into by them just now, and I put some soothing medicine there and want to take it out and use it."
"I'll take it to the princess." Surina ran into her room and took no time to reach for the medicine box.
Toya took the medicine box, "You go back to your room and rest, I'll do it myself." ”
"Princess, I'll serve you with medicine." Su Rina was a little uneasy, after all, she had served the princess for many years, and the princess had never been so delicate, but think about it, maybe it was because she was in a foreign country and was not accustomed to the water and soil.
"No need, I'll just come by myself, you can go down." Surina nodded and obediently returned to her room.
Toya held the medicine box and returned to the room, the door closed behind her, a latch locked the door, Toya put the medicine box on the table, "Come out, the people are gone." ”
There was a silence, and the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, and a tall black figure stood behind Toya, "So you know I'm in your room?" ”
"Yes!"
"When did you find out?"
"From the moment you came in."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"You can't kill me now."
"Oh?"
