Chapter 199: Accommodation
"Weichen see the emperor." Bian Yi finally returned to the capital, and he went straight to the palace to report to the emperor.
"Get up." Huangfu Jingwen raised his hand and asked, "How is Xiang Wan?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the imperial concubine is the same as before except for looking a little weak, but she seems to be a little strange, and she is at a loss when she is called." Bian Yi has always been surprised by Chu Xiangwan's reaction at that time, even if the imperial concubine doesn't know herself, it is impossible not to even remember her own identity.
"Is something happening to Xiang Wan?" Huangfu Jingwen frowned.
"The minister didn't know, at that time, King Rui asked him to bring the imperial concubine into the inner tent and interrupted the minister."
"Bang!" The teacups in his hand were turned over without grasping them steadily, and the table was full of spilled tea. Huangfu Jingwen raised his voice: "You mean that Xiang Wan lives in Huangfu Jingyao's tent?" ”
"It's hard to say what Wechen said." Bian Yi is a cautious person, he only says what he sees.
"Huangfu Jingyao, he deserves to die! I spared his life to exile him to the border, and he dared to kidnap the imperial sister-in-law and live in the same room. "The following words Huangfu Jingwen doesn't want to think about or say, to the end, she won't really have a relationship with Huangfu Jingyao - that's why she hasn't returned to the capital for so many years?
"Your Majesty, Commander Bian also said that the imperial concubine seems to be a little strange, maybe it is because of this that she was deceived by King Rui." Ma Hui comforted.
Huangfu Jingwen eased his expression and said, "I want to take Xiang Wan back as soon as possible." ”
"Your Majesty, the Wechen in Helian City has sent a letter to him, and he also replied to the Wechen, saying that he is willing to meet with the Emperor to discuss cooperation in detail." Bian Yi changed the subject.
"Okay, where to meet. When to meet? At this time, Huangfu Jingwen was even more determined to cooperate with Helian City.
"He said that the emperor would just wait for him in the capital." Bian Yi hesitated when he said this.
"Hmph, this Helian City is very sure. Knowing that my biggest enemy now is Huangfu Jingyao, that's why he dared to come to the capital to see me blatantly. It's okay, I'll wait for him to come to the door. "Huangfu Jingwen didn't know that Helian City's other purpose of coming here was to take away Chu Xiangwan, who was in his heart.
"It's just that the emperor, Weichen is worried that Helian City is not really cooperating with you." Bian Yi thought about it and admonished, he always felt that it was a bit risky for the emperor to cooperate with Helian City.
"I know your concerns. It's just that his cooperation with me is just to ask for some food and property, which can satisfy him as long as he wins Huangfu and respects Yao. "Huangfu Jingwen didn't know what Helian City really wanted, how could the prairie eagle be impressed by jewels and food? Someone who can compete with Huangfu Jingyao. It's not just a simple role.
Bian Yi said again: "In the opinion of Weichen, the emperor might as well let him attack King Rui's army in the north, and it is absolutely impossible to go south." ”
"What you say is exactly what I mean, and I will make it clear to Helian City on the day of the negotiation."
"Your Majesty." Bian Yi listened to this. I was relieved a little, too.
"One more thing. Emperor. ”
"What?"
"Wei Chen saw the hidden person behind him from King Rui, this person's martial arts are not below King Rui, and his bearing is not an idle person." Bian Yi thought of Ning Yanchen.
"I remember this person, since you are back, you will go to check the origin of this person, since you have seen the true face of Lushan, there must be traces to follow."
"Yes." Bian Yi nodded.
"Miss Xiangwan, junior sister. You're all tired, so let's rest in this town tonight. Hurry again tomorrow. Ning Yanchen saw that Chu Xiangwan's face turned pale, so he proposed.
"It's okay," Chu Xiangwan nodded, and she said apologetically, "Mr. Ning, it's all because I'm too weak and slow down my trip." ”
"What did you say to Miss Wan, you forgot, you are my greatest duty on this trip. If you can't take care of you, Jing Yao will settle accounts with me. ”
"Flutter," Chu Xiangwan was embarrassed by Ning Yanchen's joke when Xiao'er suddenly laughed, she said, "Senior brother is not afraid of heaven and earth, and the most feared person is probably King Rui, right?" ”
"You girl" Ning Yanchen shook his head and smiled, "But you seem to be right, Jing Yao is my most valued friend, so I can't do anything that disappoints him." There may be several layers of meaning in these words, but Ning Yanchen's smile put the meaning on the first layer: protect Chu Xiangwan.
"Mr. Ning is a promise, and the friendship between you and King Rui is also moved by Xiang Wan." Chu Xiangwan now feels more and more that "Chu Xiangwan" is her real name, and she is listening more and more pleasantly, not at all like the strangeness brought to her by the name "Meng Yan".
"It's important to say to the evening girl, in fact, it's my luck to be able to travel with beauty, it's better than being at ease with Jing Yao's cold face all day long!" Ning Yanchen teased.
Chu Xiangwan also smiled, and she said: "Yes, our Xiao'er is indeed a rare snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, fresh and elegant. ”
"Sister, Xiao'er is just a wild girl in front of you, you are really the most holy snow on the Tianshan Mountain, this snow lotus is hidden in the snow, it is not worth mentioning at all." Xiao'er said sincerely.
"Good flowers should also be appreciated by people who cherish flowers, Xiao'er, this snow lotus, needs someone like Mr. Ning who understands flowers to take care of it." After these days of contact, Chu Xiangwan felt that Ning Yanchen was indeed a rare handsome talent, he and Xiao'er could be said to be made in heaven, no wonder Xiao'er loved it, she had the heart to match them, so that Xiao'er's wish could come true.
Ning Yanchen was a little unnatural, he only said: "Xiao'er is my most beloved junior sister, I must take good care of her." ”
Xiao'er didn't speak, but her expression was a little sad, Chu Xiangwan knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so she shook Xiao'er's hand and said, "I'm a little hungry, hurry up and find a place to rest." ”
The atmosphere of the three of them suddenly became a little strange, and they just walked towards the town silently, and they went directly to the inn opened by Ning Yanchen, which was also his only property in this town.
After dinner, Xiao'er and Chu Xiangwan shared a room, and Ning Yanchen lived next door and rested separately. It's just that in the middle of the night, Chu Xiangwan had some insomnia and couldn't sleep anyway, so she quietly got up in her clothes and walked to the small courtyard outside the house downstairs. The night was as cold as water, Chu Xiangwan looked at the cold moonlight, remembered his dead child, and gently hummed the song "Ballad of the Stars".
"Your voice is full of weeping, and it makes people sad to hear it." Ning Yanchen couldn't bear Chu Xiangwan to be so sad again, so he interrupted.
"The child is the heart and soul of the parents, I didn't protect the child well, and I feel guilty all my life." Chu Xiangwan stopped, and when he turned around, his eyes were already full of tears.
Ning Yanchen stepped forward and wanted to reach out to wipe away her tears, but after all, she held back, some things can't be started, and once they start, they will hurt everyone. (To be continued.) )
