Chapter 138: Fear

The case of Duanbengong has been revealed for the time being.

The palace was again in the midst of intense and orderly busy preparations.

The Queen's birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.

As a foreigner, Xin Zi was only able to walk around the Sacred Heart Palace because of the favor of the Empress Dowager, and naturally did not participate in the preparation of the birthday banquet.

This gave her enough time and energy, and she was in time to refine the "Vegetarian Poison Incense" the day before the birthday banquet.

And Ah Zi, who was holding a bottle full of freshly made perfume in a glass bottle in his hand, encountered another problem.

Zuo Qiyang did not appear for a long time.

When he left, he promised that he would come back before the queen's birthday banquet - the queen's birthday banquet was scheduled to be held today, and now it was the end of the Shen Dynasty, and it was only less than an hour before the birthday banquet officially began, but Zuo Qiyang was not seen for a long time.

Ah Zi stood in front of the weeping flower gate and paced back and forth, constantly beating drums in her heart.

If Zuo Qiyang can't come back in time, I'm afraid I can only go to the banquet alone, this is nothing, these days without him by his side, I **** went to the Sacred Heart Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager and her old man, and I am already familiar with the way.

But the question is, how can this poisonous incense in his hand be handed over to him?

If he simply missed the birthday feast, should I offer it on his behalf? If Zuo Qiyang knew about it afterwards, would the villain think that he had taken the opportunity to take away his birthday gift and break the contract?

Or simply stay in the house and hand it over to the executive's family and ignore it yourself? can think of Zuo Qiyang's insistence on giving a gift in his own name before, and I think he should attach great importance to this birthday gift. If you dispose of it so casually, if something goes wrong in the middle and you lose the perfume, won't it still be counted on your own head in the end?

Thinking about it like this, Ah Zi became more and more undecided, and when she was in a hurry, the glass bottle she was holding in her hand suddenly flew out of her hand, she was so frightened that she exclaimed, and turned around to chase the vial containing the incense liquid, and saw Zuo Qiyang standing behind her. Holding a glass bottle in his hand. The corners of his mouth were hooked, his eyebrows raised, and he looked at her with a smile.

"What, do you want to take advantage of my absence to steal my birthday gift?"

Zuo Qiyang said. It is difficult to hide the joy and lightness of the reunion revealed in the tone and expression.

Ah Zi was overjoyed. A big smile bloomed on his face. But thinking of his question just now, he said angrily: "You yourself were late to return, and you almost missed the birthday banquet." Now you blame me for swallowing your birthday gift? ”

Zuo Qiyang made an exaggerated helpless look when he heard this: "I want to come back a few days earlier, but the ancestor who the queen ordered me to pick up is really busy with affairs, and I can't take a break...... I can come back at this hour

But halfway through the explanation, he laughed again, squinted at the little girl in front of him and said, "Could it be that you haven't seen me for so many days, thinking about it day and night, and finally staying up until the day of the birthday banquet, and you haven't seen me come back, so you are in a hurry?" ”

Zuo Qiyang said and looked at Ah Zi with a scrutinizing gaze, leaning over, the fragrant fragrance of burlap mixed with the smell of dust along the way and the green taste of the buds smoked in early spring came to his face, making Ah Zi have a moment of sparkle.

Ah Zi hurriedly took a step back, detached from the unique aura of Zuo Qiyang, and then took a long breath, "Since you have rushed back, hurry up and prepare to leave for the palace, it will be too late if it is too late." After that, he turned around and walked out, no longer looking at Zuo Qiyang.

Zuo Qiyang pursed his lips, followed Ah Zi with his hands behind his back and walked out, one was unguarded, and he was bumping into Ah Zi who was suddenly standing there, he instinctively jumped back, dodged, and went around Ah Zi's side.

"I just said it was too late, and now I'm stupid what to do here......"

Halfway through Zuo Qiyang's words, he looked at Ah Zi, swallowed the second half of the sentence in shock, and put away his smile.

Ah Zi looked straight ahead at the moment, his face was so white that he even revealed some dark blue, the original pair of peach blossom eyes were bright, and now all that was left was doubt, anger, fear, and sorrow.

She shivered from head to toe, and she felt that the world was spinning around her, and everything had become so nothing, everything she had heard and seen before had been shattered into countless pieces, flying all over her world, unrelievable, untouchable......

"Ah Zi? What happened to you? Zuo Qiyang panicked at this time, and asked worriedly by holding Ah Zi's shoulder.

But when the voice reached Ah Zi's ears, she felt as if it came from the sky, she only felt that her feet were soft, and she barely stood firm with all her strength, trying to come back to her senses, she was already covered in a cold sweat, trembling and raised her finger to point ahead, looked at Zuo Qiyang vacantly, and asked weakly: "...... him How did it end up here? ”

Zuo Qiyang looked in the direction pointed by Ah Zi, and saw Yan Wuxing, who had just come back with him, had just dismounted, and was standing in front of the door and quickly explaining something to the people in the house.

"He is Yan Wuxing," Zuo Qiyang didn't understand why Ah Zi would resist Wuxing like this, so he could only explain the identity of the other party to her, "I am now saying that this house belongs to a friend of mine, and it is him, in fact, this 'Yan Mansion' was given to him by the queen's mother."

"He is the righteous son of the emperor and the empress, and because he was brought up by the queen since he was a child, he gave the 'Yan' surname of the Xiyu royal family. He has been very competitive since he was a child, capable of writing and martial arts, and is both quick and resourceful in leading troops to charge into battle, not only the royal family of Xiyou, but also the ministers in the court and the foreign ministers of the frontier are full of praise for him.

"Over the years, he has been transferred by the emperor to the Longwei Valley under the Dragonspine Mountains to garrison, and he has resisted the invasion of the northern beasts many times, and he is a general.

"He and the queen mother have the deepest mother-son relationship, and it is also a good story in the West by the folk. Now the queen mother is rare to be seriously ill and prepare for a birthday banquet, the whole country celebrates, fearless originally in Longwei Valley can not get out, but he really misses his mother-in-law's kindness, and pleaded with the emperor many times, so he was allowed to take a two-day leave and came back to participate in his mother's birthday banquet. ”

He told Ah Zi about Yan Wuxing's identity as briefly as possible, and seeing that her face did not improve, but became more and more pale, and he added anxiously and thoughtlessly: "Although Dauntless is a general and has been leading troops outside all the year round, he is actually the most gentle, very scribed, and very approachable, you don't have to worry, he must be much easier to get along with than me." ”

It took a long time for Ah Zi to take his eyes off Yan Wuxing, and instead looked at Zuo Qiyang, and said in a hoarse voice: "You have been lying to me all this time, ......" (to be continued.) )
