Chapter 45 There is always trouble
The Queen Mother stepped forward, walked in front of Sikong Yixuan, looked at the granddaughter in front of her with her head down, and felt sour in her heart, she suddenly disappeared two years ago, she didn't see it, she didn't even say hello, and she was the last old woman to know that she had left the palace. Asked Ling'er, he just didn't say anything, there were rumors outside that Xuan'er was recuperating because of an injury, but when she returned to the palace, she was obviously still alive. I was worried all the time, knowing that Ling Er assured me that Xuan'er was safe, so I was a little relieved. It's just that Xuan'er has been simple and kind since she was a child, and Ling'er has protected her too well, saying don't worry, where can she really put her mind at ease.
It's been two years, although I don't know what happened two years ago so that Sikong Yixuan could leave the palace for two years without returning to the palace, but it is definitely not such an easy day, because the current Sikong Yixuan, even if he still has that kind of gentle smile, but there is less sincerity and more indifference in that smile.
Reaching out and stroking her hair, the Queen Mother smiled, "Silly child." ”
Unwilling to stay in this courtyard any longer, the Queen Mother turned her head to look at Sikong Wodi, and in a blink of an eye, she returned to that cold and noble appearance, "Your Majesty, the mourning family misses Xuan'er and wants to take Xuan'er back to the mourning family's bedroom, and if something like this happened today, the female relatives must have been a little frightened." As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Luo You, who bowed his head awkwardly, "That's all for today's family dinner, it's all gone." ”
Saying that, he didn't care about others, whether the emperor agreed or not, he pulled Sikong Yixuan beside him and walked out.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
The people behind him squatted one after another, hanging their heads slightly, and sent the Queen Mother away.
Sikong Wodi groaned for a moment, and also said, "It's all gone!" ”
After speaking, he also took the lead to leave, and shouted behind him. He left without looking back, and he didn't see Luo Xue with a faint expression behind the crowd, so he didn't see the face he had been looking for for more than 20 years.
Sikong Yuye walked to Sikong Cangling's side with a smile, "Fifth Emperor Brother, your skills are good, but you have grown a lot, and I will have a discussion with Second Brother another day." After saying that, as if thinking of something funny, he laughed happily a few times and walked away.
Sikong Cangling clenched his fists, and then released them again, looking light again.
"Lord Wang, are you okay?" Xiao Xueqing, who was standing beside him, asked worriedly.
"Xueqing, you go home first." A faint voice, without explaining a word, just an order.
Xiao Xueqing was stunned, but immediately restored the knowledgeable Princess Cang, smiled decently, and nodded, "Yes." After saying that, he also left with his maid.
After Xiao Xueqing left, Sikong Cangling raised his feet and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped, turned his head, and happened to meet Luo Xue, who was looking at him thoughtfully, frowning slightly, "How long are you going to stay here?" Obviously, I was very dissatisfied with Luo Xue's unconsciousness.
Luo Xue, who was supposed to be a highlight of this banquet, was completely ignored because of this sudden assassination and Sikong Yixuan, who suddenly returned to the palace. However, for Luo Xue, it was completely ignored, and there were a lot of things missing. Luo Xue looked at Sikong Cangling calmly and didn't look away, but it didn't make sense to look at each other like this, and then said to Meng Nianrou beside her, "Nianrou, I'll leave first, and I'll go out with you another day." Meng Nianrou also nodded.
……
In the inner hall of Cili Palace, the Queen Mother looked at Sikong Yixuan, who was sitting on the side eating pastries, with a kind smile, "Xuan'er, you ghost girl, you haven't been gone for two years and don't know how to send a message to your grandmother." ”
"Mama Xu, your craftsmanship is still so good, Xuan'er has always been thinking about the osmanthus cake you made!" As he spoke, he took a bite of the pastry in his hand, clicked his mouth, and looked like he was enjoying it.
The Queen Mother saw Sikong Yixuan change the topic, and knew that she didn't want to mention this matter, so she didn't ask again, as long as the person was safe, as long as the person came back, she didn't want to let herself know, she definitely didn't want to worry about herself, and she didn't want to recall that experience that might not be good for her, so why should she force her!
Mama Xu looked at Sikong Yixuan dotingly, "The princess wants to eat, Mama makes it for the princess every day, no one has eaten the pastries made by Mama in the past two years, I just hope that the princess will not get tired of eating it!" Saying that, he stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, it was not easy to think of the princess in the past two years! Seeing that everyone has lost a lot of weight, and I always feel that the princess is not as innocent as before.
Looking at Mama Xu's tears, Sikong Yixuan hurriedly got up, wiped her tears for her, and comforted, "What did Mama say, how could Yixuan be tired of eating Mama's pastries, Mama's pastries, Yixuan has grown from snacks to big, Mama's pastries are the most delicious pastries in the world." After saying that, he took a piece of pastry directly from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, as a sign of his love for this pastry.
Mama Xu was amused by Sikong Yixuan's actions, and then said, "The princess wants to eat osmanthus cake, so Mama will make it for the princess." As soon as he said that, he immediately walked outside the house.
Sikong Yixuan was about to stop her, the time was not early, making osmanthus cake was already time-consuming, and it would take time to finish.
The Queen Mother said, "Forget it, let her go, I haven't seen you for two years, but now that I see you, I must be extremely happy in my heart, and I have to do something for you." ”
Sikong Yixuan just gave up, but his heart was warm.
At this time, Sikong Cangling walked in from outside with Luo Xue, and the two greeted in unison, "Imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, "Come and sit!" ”
The two nodded, and sat down. Sikong Yixuan heard Luo Xue's name for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother did not object, but she was slightly surprised, this is her brother who married the Xue side concubine not long ago? The third lady of the Ministry of Shangshu's family? My grandmother, I still know a lot, except for myself and my brother, it's rare that she will be so kind to a person, even her brother's sister-in-law who is marrying Mingmei has never had the qualifications to call her grandmother 'grandmother', obviously, this Concubine Cangwang Xue should be a good person, and she still agrees with her grandmother's vision.
Thinking about it, he smiled at Luo Xue, "Sister-in-law." ”
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and nodded at Sikong Yixuan, "Princess Yixuan!" ”
As soon as she fell, she immediately received two unsatisfactory glances, and the Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxue, Xuan'er is Ling'er's sister, just call her Xuan'er or Yixuan." ”
Sikong Yixuan also echoed casually, "Yes, sister-in-law, just call me Yixuan or Xuan'er." It's too raw to be called Princess Yixuan, and besides, does my sister-in-law still care about what status she is? ”
Luo Xue was a little surprised by Sikong Yixuan's point of view, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Sikong Yixuan in her heart, this girl is quite a good person. Immediately, it was also a small one, and he called out generously, Yixuan. Sikong Yixuan and the Queen Mother smiled at this time, and they were very satisfied with Luo Xue's generous actions.
After having dinner with the Queen Mother and Sikong Yixuan, Luo Xuecai and Sikong Cangling left, Sikong Yixuan originally wanted to live in Cangwang's Mansion, after all, two years ago, Sikong Yixuan had been living in Cangwang's Mansion. However, then the Queen Mother who misses Sikong Yixuan will not let Sikong Yixuan leave so easily, so there is no way, Sikong Yixuan will temporarily live in the palace, for Sikong Yixuan, the palace has never been a home, but a cage, if it weren't for the fact that there is a queen mother in the palace who is worth worrying about, maybe Sikong Yixuan will not return to the capital in this life.
Luo Xue and Sikong Cangling sat in a carriage and were silent all the way, but in the end Sikong Cangling still spoke.
"Let's make a deal." The voice was flat, and there was no hint of inquiry, I don't know if it was a unilateral order, but I was still very sure that Luo Xue would definitely agree to him.
"Tell me about it." Luo Xue also didn't have a hint of surprise, Sikong Cangling would leave her behind to go with him, I'm afraid it had been planned from the beginning.
"You want to leave the palace?" Sikong Cangling didn't start talking about the deal, but said something that didn't seem to have anything to do with the matter. And the matter he asked, although he had such a conjecture in his heart, he was still not sure, after all......
"Yes." Luo Xue replied without hesitation, and she didn't need to lie to him.
"As long as you help me do that, as long as you want to leave, I'll let you go."
"Okay." Luo Xue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Sikong Cangling's words at all.
Sikong Cangling listened to Luo Xue's words, but he didn't immediately say what he wanted her to do, but was silent, even he didn't expect to say such a thing, but obviously, Luo Xue didn't understand the meaning of those words.
Luo Xue was wondering why Sikong Cangling suddenly fell silent, and was about to ask, when suddenly the two of them stiffened at the same time, glanced at each other, and jumped out of the carriage at the same time. As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, dozens of arrows shot the carriage into a hedgehog. However, when she came back to her senses, she found that Luo Xue was tightly held by Sikong Cangling and protected in her arms, no wonder she felt a tight wrist at the moment she jumped down just now.
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, Sikong Cangling let go of his hand casually, and frowned and looked at the dozen killers in night clothes who surrounded the two of them.
Luo Xue also frowned, these people gave people the first feeling of being like dead people, they were not angry at all, and there was a strong smell of blood lingering on their bodies, it seems that the real killing move is here, and those assassins in the palace are probably just tempting people! Luo Xue looked at Sikong Cangling helplessly and said, "Lord Cang, I suddenly feel that it was wrong to promise you just now, and there should always be trouble when I do things by your side!" ”
