Chapter 54: Portrait of the Four Imperial Concubines
The surroundings are all dark, and I only feel that the moon tonight is unusually strange, exuding a faint purple light, which is very scary. Basket Xiao'er saw the abnormal purple light, and suddenly conjured up many sharp claws with teeth and claws, and stretched out to herself.
Basket Xiao'er exhaled in fright: "Where are you?" Help me, help me" Then she shouted hoarsely, struggling to grasp the faint light, but grabbing it empty, Lan Xiao'er opened her eyes violently, and saw a suffocating darkness.
It turned out that she was having nightmares again, Lan Xiao'er fell into deep despair, she was so miserable, who could save herself? And he trembled and wept, and murmured, "Why did you dream of him again?" Does it make any sense? ”
Suddenly, Basket Xiao'er felt a warm big hand, in the dark, holding her helpless hands firmly. Whose hand is this?
I only heard a gentle male voice sound: "Laughing, did you have a nightmare?" Don't be afraid, I'm here. ”
Is it Yuexuan? Why is he here? When did it come? Lan Xiao'er stretched out her hands because she was afraid, tightened Yuexuan's arms, and said weakly: "I was so scared just now, but it's good that you are here." ”
Yuexuan, who was still because of this, felt Lan Xiao'er's trembling appearance, and hugged her tightly in his arms, patted her back, and said softly like a mother coaxing a child: "Sleep, so you won't be afraid." ”
Lan Xiao'er buried her face deep in Yue Xuan's chest, greedy for his warmth, and gradually fell asleep
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the sleeping person in the thin quilt, Lan Xiao'er slowly opened her eyes and moved her body gently.
"Master Xuan, the manager of the song and dance studio is waiting for you in the hall." Little Red's voice came.
Lan Xiao'er closed her eyes, thinking to herself, it must be Xiaohong calling Yuexuan in the next room, and was about to turn over and continue sleeping, but found that there was an enlarged face and a gentle smile to herself.
This person is none other than Yue Xuan, Lan Xiao'er was stunned for a moment, pulled the quilt and sat up, only to remember that he comforted himself yesterday.
Lan Xiao'er slurred, "What should I do?" It's not good to let Xiaohong know. ”
The corners of Yue Xuan's mouth were slightly curved with a smile: "You are now my personal maid, who will gossip about you and me, don't you change my clothes for Master Xuan?" ”
Lan Xiao'er blinked her eyes, not understanding what Yue Xuan meant by this, and looked at him stunned.
Yue Xuan scratched Lan Xiao'er's nose: "Xiao'er is so simple, my son is joking." ”
Basket smiled and smothered him dissatisfied, do you still have kung fu to joke now?
Yue Xuan shook her head, and walked to the door, opened the door, Xiao Hong held the toiletries, and changed Yue Xuan's clothes and freshened up in an orderly manner, without looking at Lan Xiao'er, as if she didn't have zài.
Lan Xiao'er looked at Xiaohong and didn't react at all, and couldn't help but wonder a little, was she invisible? And frowned and pinched his thigh. Oops, it hurts, it's obviously not a dream. Could it be that the ancients were so open-minded?
Although he and Yuexuan don't have anything, but if a lonely man and a widow share a room for one night, they will always be thought of by others like that.
After a while, Yuexuan finished freshening up, and let Xiaohong retreat, looking at the basket Xiao'er a little shy, embarrassed and a little dazed, and smiled gently: "Xiao'er doesn't have to worry about reputation, Xiaohong is a kind maid, she won't talk much." ”
Lan Xiao'er was even more embarrassed by Yue Xuan's thoughts, and nodded: "Master Xuan misunderstood, Xiao'er didn't think like that, but I was afraid that Xiao'er would ruin Master Xuan's reputation." ”
Yue Xuan smiled softly: "Your body is still a little weak, let me help you change your clothes." ”
Lan Xiao'er hurriedly shouted: "No! ”
Yue Xuan watched Lan Xiao'er with a hint of blush on her face, and couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Basket Xiao'er looked at Yue Xuan and didn't mean to leave, but said hesitantly: "Can you ask Master Xuan to turn his head and I can come by myself." ”
Lan Xiao'er finished her words with difficulty, peeked at Yue Xuan, and found that he still didn't move like a piece of wood, as if his words were in his ears.
Lan Xiao'er looked at Yue Xuan in front of her speechlessly, who had been smiling at herself with a gentle and harmless face, and sighed: "Master Xuan, you are like this"
Before Lan Xiao'er finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiaohong's voice outside the door: "Master Xuan, the manager of the song and dance workshop said that there is an urgent matter to report, Wangxuan Gongzi"
Yue Xuan frowned, as if he was a little displeased, and said, "This is over." ”
Yue Xuan smiled at Lan Xiao'er: "You have to recuperate." And left.
Then Xiaohong walked in: "Miss Xiao'er, Master Xuan asked me to serve you, now Xiaohong will help you change your clothes, okay?" ”
Lan Xiao'er hurriedly shirked: "Thank you Little Red Girl for your kindness, it's just these little things, I'm used to doing them myself." ”
Xiaohong let out a soft "oh" and stepped aside.
After Lan Xiao'er finished dressing, she thought that the time was ripe to leave here, and said to Xiaohong, "Can you take me for a walk in this courtyard?" I'm a little stuffy and want to go out and get some fresh air. ”
Xiaohong responded: "Miss Xiao'er and Xiaohong are here." ”
Basket Xiao'er followed Xiaohong in the courtyard, walking casually, quietly writing down the route in her heart, and when she walked to the door, she saw a lot of officers and soldiers, so she asked: "Xiaohong, are there always so many officers and soldiers here?" ”
Xiaohong shook her head: "No, it's just that there have been a lot more in recent days, not only here, but also in the entire capital." Lan Xiao'er asked, "Is something happening in the capital?" Such a stirring up of the people. ”
Xiaohong approached Lan Xiao'er and whispered: "It seems that the fourth imperial concubine disappeared yesterday, and the officers and soldiers were sent to look for it." ”
Basket Xiao'er pretended not to know and nodded, looking at her inquiringly, whether she was simply telling the truth, or deliberately deceiving herself and letting herself stay in this courtyard with a drum.
I saw Xiaohong continue: "These officers and soldiers search all over the country every day and night, which shows how affectionate the four princes are to the four imperial concubines, and I hope it is good to find them earlier." ”
Lan Xiao'er frowned, since she was looking everywhere, what about her current courtyard? Hurriedly asked: "Have the officers and soldiers come to this courtyard to search?" ”
Xiaohong shook her head: "This is the courtyard of Sanxuan Gongzi, and no one of these officers and soldiers dares to come in to find it, let alone think of it." ”
Basket Xiao'er looked at Xiaohong's sincere expression when she spoke, maybe this qiē is true, then it seems that she can't get out of this courtyard for the time being, and nodded: "Have these officers and soldiers seen the Four Imperial Concubines?" How to find it? ”
Xiaohong looked at Lan Xiao'er in wonder: "Of course it's the portrait of the four imperial concubines." ”
Portrait? Do all the people in this courtyard know their identities? Lan Xiao'er grabbed Xiaohong's hand violently: "Have you ever seen that portrait?" ”
