Chapter 336: Whereabouts unknown
Rejecting the old hall master's kindness to let her stay overnight, she drove the carriage to Taoyuan overnight, maybe because she couldn't wait to see Su Qi after listening to the story told by the old hall master, or maybe she knew in her heart that if she went back like this, it would be difficult to find a chance to meet in the future!
Anyway, the carriage was running on the opposite road to the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Xue'er stopped the carriage at the intersection, untied her cloak and covered the cuizhu who was still unconscious, bolted the carriage again, and then walked along the path.
The lamp that used to hang at the intersection is still hanging in place, but it will never be lit again, and the pink acacia pattern colored paper painted by Su Qi himself on the wall of the lantern has rotted due to the wind, sun and rain, and only an empty stand is left to support it.
I haven't set foot here for more than half a year, maybe it's because I think she'll never come here again, or maybe Su Qi doesn't like people to be noisy, the maids who originally served in Taoyuan have been sent away, and when I walk in again, I just feel that it's as quiet as a dead house! It is on par with the previous Anguo Marquis Mansion.
Shuttling alone in the peach forest, there is no longer the fragrance of peach blossoms blooming in spring, but you can see fist-sized peaches dotted on it, as if knowing that she is back, the night wind rises, the leaves rattle, as if applauding to welcome her back.
Walking, watching, there is a sense of sadness that seems to be another world from her heart, she has not had news of Su Qi for a long time, and she doesn't know where he is at this time, thinking that if she doesn't want to ignore it, she won't hurt lovesickness, but after all, she came here, she just wanted to come, just because there was a voice in her heart that told her that she must come here, so she came.
In the silent night, even the wind stopped, and a leaf fell behind her, slowly turning and falling, Xia Xue'er was able to catch the sound of the leaf falling, and her footsteps immediately stopped, never looking back, but her eyes were quietly red, her intuition was always so correct and unreasonable!
Su Qi stood on the branch, and a pair of eyes fell on the thin back in front of him. She wore the princess's Zhai dress, embroidered with a peacock pattern on the back hem and held it on the ground, her black hair was all curled, with gorgeous pearls, under the moonlight, even the back was so beautiful, but it was no longer someone he could reach.
"Why are you here?"
Su Qi's voice was a little hoarse, but he still asked, he wanted to hear the voice he thought about day and night, even if it was just in a dream now.
Hearing this voice again, Xia Xue'er was stunned, her eyes were moist, but the corners of her mouth were grinning, and she almost cried, but she also laughed. The hands stacked in front of her lower abdomen had been clasped together unconsciously, and she didn't turn her head, she was afraid that it was just a dream or an illusion.
Why are you here? "Because of what my heart wants, I came."
Is it the heart desired?
Yes, the heart desires.
Almost in an instant, Su Qi spread his arms and flew down from the tree, while Xia Xue'er turned around and flew over, and the two hugged each other tightly, like a lost couple finally finding each other!
Listening to the powerful heartbeat in her ears, Xia Xue'er's restless heart gradually calmed down, fortunately, he was still there, not a dream, not an illusion.
Along the way, she was thinking, if Shizu hadn't been to Liuzhou twenty years ago, if Shizu hadn't bumped into that sneaky man, if Shizu hadn't seen the wooden basin floating on the river, if Shizu hadn't insisted on saving the dying baby, if ......
Fortunately, there are no ifs in life!
Although she was scared for a while, she was also secretly happy.
Compared with the happiness and tranquility in Taoyuan, there is a lot of trouble in the capital!
Princess Qi's whereabouts have been unknown for two days and one night, the guards of the Qi Palace's Mansion and the Anguo Marquis Mansion are searching for the whereabouts of Princess Qi, from south to north, from east to west, every corner has not been let go, the movement is not small, but the noise in the city is panicking!
When Xia Xue'er entered the palace that day, she only brought Biluo and Cuizhu two maids and left Xianglan, who was armed with martial arts, in the mansion, and no one came back that night, and everyone only thought that the princess was left in the Yuehua Palace by the concubine Niangniang for the night, after all, Sun Guifei was unwell, and the princess was ordered to enter the palace to serve the sick, and it was not impossible to stay overnight.
But at noon the next day, no one came back, and no news came, which was not in line with Xia Xueer's style of acting, Xianglan began to get nervous in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, and she immediately took a burden and came to the palace gate alone, wanting to inquire about something by sending things, not if something happened in the palace!
Stuffed a purse for the guard guarding the door, and then asked: "This little brother, the slave maid is from the Qi Palace, and I want to send some daily necessities to my princess, can you make it convenient and help spread the word?" ”
The guard guarding the door glanced at Xianglan up and down, and then laughed twice before saying with disdain: "I see that you want to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to enter the palace!" Princess Qi has been in the palace well, but she left the palace yesterday, and she is no longer in the palace at this time! You, next time you want to get in, you have to inquire clearly, don't try to fool us with such a clumsy lie! ”
When Xianglan heard that her young lady was not in the palace, where did she still have the spirit to explain to them, so she hurriedly asked, "You said that Princess Qi is not in the palace?" Then when did she leave the palace? ”
The guard didn't intend to waste words with this liar, but the other party seemed to have suddenly changed a person, and his tone was also 100,000 urgent, and his eyes seemed to be about to kill, so he was also a little confused, if it was really from the Qi Palace, he couldn't afford this crime if something happened, so he could only tell the truth: "Around three o'clock yesterday, I just happened to change shifts." ”
After hearing the news, Xianglan went to Dengxian Tower as soon as possible, and Uncle Rong was also full of doubts after hearing it.
Since the deputy valley lord returned to Beijing, every contact he had with her had been through Xianglan, and this time the deputy valley lord had not been to Dengxian Tower, nor had he directly contacted him!
Realizing that the person might be missing, Uncle Rong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly contacted the secret posts scattered all over the city to screen for clues. Xianglan also went back to the house to find Concubine Zhou and asked her to dispatch government soldiers to search the whole city. After learning the news, the Marquis of Anguo Mansion also sent soldiers to cooperate with the Qi Wangfu to find people, but after looking for a long time, they only found Biluo and the coachman who were tied up by Wuhua after the point was pointed in an empty alley!
Neither of them knew who their attacker was, nor did they know where they were going, and after confirming that Xia Xue'er's disappearance had nothing to do with the Netherworld Valley, the matter could only be reported to the imperial court.
And Xianglan quietly went out of the city in the direction of Taoyuan, according to Uncle Rong, Su Qi has been living there, and the most trustworthy helper she can think of is only Su Qi! (To be continued.) )
