【Eighty-Eight】Helpless Escape (I)
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Xi Le knew that it was bad.
Sure enough, before there was a cup of tea, Qiu Ling hurriedly came in and said that the emperor said that he had grounded Emperor Xile, and the specific time of the grounding was not said, and the people in the palace were constantly speculating for a while.
Even if everyone knows that the superficial "truth" is that the emperor left the palace without permission, after all, the emperor did not leave the palace without permission once or twice, and every time there was a legitimate reason, so that the emperor and the queen wanted to deal with it but could not, often asked her to reflect or copy the "Female Commandment" several times to finish, there has never been such a situation.
The three people who heard that Xi Le was grounded sighed outside the palace gate.
The emperor ordered the Grand Duke to send them out in person, and they had no reason to stay any longer, but they had clearly had other plans before, and they didn't dare to leave rashly for fear that she would have arrangements.
Even if I knew about Xile's situation, I am afraid that I would never be able to walk with them again.
After all, her identity is different, she is the emperor.
But this sudden news of the grounding came out, even if the three of them were unfamiliar with the affairs of the royal family, they could guess that it was not a good thing, if Xi Le had not made a mistake, he would not have turned his face in such a short period of time.
It was all good before, and the three of them also saw how Xi Le was favored by the emperor, and how the emperor doted on this daughter.
Lan Yao looked at the silent Lan Concubine and Dugu Chen, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's a little strange that Xi Le is grounded, could it be because of ...... The reason for the Flower God Dance? But it's not quite like it, if he remembers something, he won't lose his temper with Xule. ”
This sentence just hit Lan Fei's heart, she frowned, and said, "I also think it's inappropriate...... Originally, if she stayed in the palace for a long time in the future, according to her temperament, it was inconvenient for her to move around at will, and she would send someone out to bring us a message. I didn't expect that we waited for a long time, first we were sent out, and then there was such news...... "paused," could it be that something happened, and the grounding was just an excuse? ”
Seeing her looking at herself, Dugu Chen said, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" But he already knew it in his heart.
He naturally noticed the strangeness, and after all, he had shared weal and sorrow with them, and he couldn't let go of this friend.
The three of them knew where Xi Le lived, so it was much easier to turn back invisibly.
In order to prevent Xi Le from having any inconvenience at the moment, Lan Fei went to her master bedroom first, but saw Xi Le was in a daze with her forehead facing Luan Mirror. Xu sensed something unusual, turned his head suddenly, and asked softly uncertainly: "Who is it?" ”
Lan Fei appeared: "Lele, it's me." ”
Xi Le suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and hugged her in a few steps: "Little concubine, I'm ...... I feel bad! ”
Lan Fei pursed her lips, a little hesitant to ask, if she asked, then it would involve her and the emperor's private affairs, if she didn't ask, Xi Le was her friend again. Unexpectedly, Xi Le had already said on his own: "My father grounded me because he didn't allow me to be with you anymore......" Of course, she was ashamed of the truth, but it wasn't a lie.
Lan Fei was slightly stunned: "It's because of ...... Who are we? She brushed her hair slightly.
"No, no, I didn't tell Father that you and Lan Yao are fairy demons...... and realized that Lan Yao didn't mean this, "Uh, you know that I never think that people are divided into three, six, nine, etc." ”
Lan Fei sighed and said, "So, what is Lele's plan now?" ”
How? Xi Le's body was stagnant, but he was also at a loss.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Qiu Ling suddenly came in in a panic, and was stunned when she saw Lan Fei and Xi Le who were hugging each other, and then knelt down fiercely, her body trembled slightly without raising her head, and she didn't dare to come out.
That Lan girl, how did you get in?
Xi Le let go of Lan Concubine a little weakly, waved his hand to Qiu Ling again, and said, "Get up, Miss Lan is not an outsider, she ...... Cultivating immortals, there is naturally a way to come and go at will without being noticed. ”
Thinking about it, Qiu Ling was not surprised, and he knew the master very well, so he responded in a low voice, but raised his head again and said: "Just now I was at the wall to see if there was a way to sneak out and plead in front of the queen's mother, and I happened to hear someone talking outside, saying that the emperor ...... The emperor suddenly decreed...... Marriage ......"
Xi Le's brain exploded with a "buzz".
Lan Fei was also startled, and saw that Xu Le's body was weak and retreated several steps and almost fell, so she hurriedly went to help her. Xi Le didn't say a word, leaned on Lan Fei's shoulder and sobbed.
“…… Slave and maid go listen again! Qiu Ling saw that Xi Le relied on Lan Fei very much, and understood that she didn't need herself here, so she found an excuse to retreat. After Qiu Ling left, Xi Le grabbed Lan Fei's sleeve and burst into tears.
"Lele ......" Lan Fei was very distressed, "You ......" she wanted to say: If you don't want to marry, then come with us, we can protect you.
But Xi Le is not an ordinary person after all, she doesn't dare to say it rashly if she is so irresponsible, only if Xi Le has such thoughts, she can be the "sinner" who abducted the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Xi Le also had such thoughts, she said intermittently: "I...... I can't stay here anymore, even if I am ridiculed by the people of the world and disgraced to the royal family......" Speaking of this, she froze slightly, remembered something, and lowered her voice, "No, I won't disgrace the royal family, I-" quickly pulled out the hairpin on the bun and stabbed it into her neck!
Lan Fei was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, she stepped in to stop it, but she was still a step too slow. Just when the hairpin was only half an inch away from Xi Le's neck, a sudden wind swept by, and the next moment Xi Le's hand was already tightly grasped by Lan Yao!
"......" Xu Le's expression stopped there.
"Brother!" Lan Fei called him from the bottom of her heart, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's good that you and I are twins, and I can feel that something is wrong here...... Lan Yao explained with a wry smile, and then looked at Xi Le, "Good and dignified, what is the death, there is no other way but death?" ”
"My father forced me to marry." Xi Le's eyes were a little hollow, "I can only use the ...... of death"
Lan Yao seemed to be very angry who mentioned the word 'death', and the hand holding her wrist was slightly stronger, and she let out a soft snort, and the hairpin slipped from her hand to the ground.
"Little concubine, you go out to see Dugu Chen." Lan Yao suddenly said to Lan Yan, "There are some unusual people outside just now, he followed, I am here, don't worry." ”
Lan Fei was slightly stunned, and just wanted to get up, but she was a little hesitant.
Although Lan Yao is reliable, Xile is a girl after all, leaving them alone and widowed in the same room...... She turned her head sideways, but found that Xi Le was silent and let him hold it, and a faint thought was born in her heart.
So she sighed secretly and said, "Then I'll go and see over there, you and Lele...... Say it well. After a pause, "I'll come over with Ah Chen later." ”
