Chapter 172: Hurry
As if to verify his words, the torrential rain of the afternoon rattled the forbidden forest outside Izumo Temple into a muddy mass.
Emperor Su Fang behind the curtain coughed lightly twice, but did not make another sound.
It was the concubine Shu, who had always been dignified, chuckling in a delicate voice, calling "Liulang" and "Liulang" non-stop.
Xie Shuning remembered that Emperor Su Fang was exactly the sixth in his generation.
But even the imperial concubine Bai could never call Emperor Su Fang like this in private, not to mention that the person in it was the concubine Niangniang, the emperor's elder......
She was shocked.
After Emperor Qinglong died, there were rumors that Emperor Sufang was a usurper, and everyone talked about it in strange words. But in the clan, no one thought about it, and everyone directly recognized it. One is, of course, because Emperor Su Fang had quite a means when he was still the prince of Duan, and the connections he had managed over the years were also extraordinary, which had to be feared; Second, it was also because Emperor Qinglong was obsessed with alchemy and immortality at that time, and he was confused.
Xiyue needs a Ming Jun.
Emperor Su Fang used appropriate means to shape himself into a Ming Jun in the hearts of everyone.
But at this time, Xie Shuning trembled in horror, and couldn't believe what he saw and heard for a long time.
As Emperor Sufang's favorite daughter, Ji Tongying was even more stunned, and the two were trembling.
She only felt a churn in her stomach, and she almost felt nauseous.
Xie Shuning noticed it and hurriedly wanted to help her.
But before her hand touched Ji Tongying's arm, a pale and slender hand appeared out of the oblique thorn, blocking her.
Xie Shuning was stunned for a moment, and looked up along this hand. Wang Ren had a coldness between his eyebrows, and when he saw her looking over, he also lowered his head. As soon as the eyes of the two touched, Xie Shuning hurriedly turned his face away and didn't dare to look again.
Forbidden place in the deep palace. She bumped into such a secret with Ji Tongying, which was really a disaster. As a princess, Ji Tongying may be able to escape, but she is difficult.
She didn't feel that her mind was blank, her legs were weak, her hands were weak, she was almost unsteady on her feet, and she collapsed.
At this moment, Wang Ren helped her.
She sniffed the cold incense of Wang Ren's robe and forced herself to calm down.
This is the time now. No one dares to speak easily.
Fang Cai Wang Ren helped them for no reason, she was grateful, but she felt related. Wang Ren has always been a ruthless person, there is no benefit, why should he help them?
Full of worries. She didn't care about the side, and reached out to hold Ji Tongying first. Half-supported and half-mopped, trying to get people out first.
Ji Tongying seemed to be frightened. Closed his mouth tightly, his eyes glared at the boss without saying a word. She dragged her back, but she didn't resist, let her go, and only stared at the direction of the inner room and refused to let go.
Xie Shuning moved his steps in fear.
She knew that Wang Ren was staring at her with her hands in her hands, her eyes burning. It was as if he wanted to see a hole in them.
In front of him, they want to escape, of course, they have to pass him first.
Carrying most of Ji Tongying's body, Xie Shuning's arms gradually became numb. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth. When he raised his head again, he had changed his weak face. Because her complexion was already paler than that of others, she would look terrified, which was really pitiful to me.
His eyes narrowed slowly, and the corners of his eyes bent, and the water was shining inside.
She looked at Wang Ren with a weak expression, the corners of her mouth opened and closed, and she silently spit out a few words, "Yin Gong spares his life." ”
Wang Ren stood there silently, his face light and cloudy, so that people couldn't see anything.
His city has always been very deep. Even if Xie Shuning lived one more life, it would be impossible to see through his thoughts.
She looked straight at him, like a well-disguised and cautious little beast.
Wang Ren closed his eyes.
Xie Shuning was ecstatic in his heart, no matter what Wang Ren wanted to do, as long as he didn't want to restrain them at this time, they would still have a chance to get out!
The steps under her feet suddenly became faster, and Ji Tongying, who was hanging on her body, didn't seem to be as heavy.
After turning the corner quickly, the two approached the door.
In the ghost place of Izumo Palace, Xie Shuning really didn't want to stay for a moment.
She lowered her voice and said in Ji Tongying's ear: "Princess, calm down, let's go back." ”
Ji Tongying looked at her blankly and nodded slightly, but it was clear in her eyes that she understood the slightest meaning every day.
Xie Shuning sighed secretly.
When he went out, there was a group of little eunuchs guarding outside.
Because of the hurry, Xie Shuning almost hit his head.
Just as he was panicking, one of the little eunuchs suddenly waved his hand, and the group of people standing behind him quietly retreated.
The little eunuch smiled at them and saluted, and said, "Slave Xiao Runzi, on the order of the Duke of Yin, send the princess and the eighth lady back to Yong'an Palace." ”
“…… This...... It's still not a matter of worrying about my father-in-law, I'll take the princess back to ......" Xie Shuning was a little surprised, she knew Wang Ren's ability very well, but she didn't expect him to arrange the person to take them away in an instant.
The little eunuch who called himself Xiao Runzi didn't pay attention to what she said, only made a gesture of invitation, and then reached out to pick up Ji Tongying.
Ji Tongying hugged Xie Shuning tightly and stood still and refused to move.
Xie Shuning sighed, "Father-in-law will lead the way." ”
The three of them took an umbrella and walked forward.
This time, the path they walked was very different from when they came, but they also didn't meet anyone along the way.
Xie Shuning held Ji Tongying, and above her head was the umbrella that Xiao Runzi was holding high and steadily.
The sky slowly brightened, and the rain became much more sparse than it had been.
The haze in Xie Shuning's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and it is so thick that it can't be dissolved.
She quietly glanced sideways and glanced at Runko beside her.
Just now, she was still immersed in shock and didn't come back to her senses, but she remembered a little that the name Xiao Runzi was not ordinary. In his previous life, Wang Ren was accompanied by a eunuch named Xiao Runzi, who could be regarded as Wang Ren's confidant. After Wang Ren's death, he was still alive, and he took the position of Wang Ren's eunuch in charge of the seal, and became the first leader in the inner court of Xiyue.
At that time, his name was Ning Run.
So when she heard the name Xiao Runzi just now, she didn't think of the connection for a while.
After all, the little eunuch holding an umbrella for them at the moment still looks so immature, who would have thought that. Will he replace Wang Ren in the future?
If Wang Ren knew about this in advance, he didn't know if he would still keep this person.
Xie Shuning's heart turned a thousand times.
escaped from the Izumo Palace, and she and Ji Tongying owed Wang Ren a great favor.
That's a big deal!
Xie Shuning's footsteps staggered a little.
After walking for a while, the rain, which was already much lighter, suddenly fell again heavily.
She couldn't help frowning, wishing that she could return to Yong'an Palace after turning another corner.
Suddenly a thunderclap exploded in the sky.
Ji Tongying, who had been clinging to her all the time, seemed to be awakened, suddenly let go of her hand, and staggered away. The pouring rain of late spring fell loudly, and the stirring rain engulfed Ji Tongying's back in an instant.
"Princess!"
Xie Shuning was so confused that she was about to chase after her skirt, but was stopped by Xiao Runzi.
Runko shoved the umbrella into her hand. said "Miss Eight walked along this road all the way, and then turn right to see the road back to Yong'an Palace, and the slave will go to chase Her Royal Highness the Princess", and hurriedly chased Ji Tongying.
In the rain, the footsteps could not be heard clearly for a while.
Xie Shuning held an umbrella. Stand still and look around.
On both sides are high palace walls, washed dark by the rain. Everywhere there was a diffuse water vapor.
Where is this?
This road is better than the one that Ji Tong Sakura took her before. It's much more unfamiliar.
She didn't know how to go at all, so she had to follow the path that Xiao Runzi had just pointed out, moving forward little by little.
But after walking for a while, the blank look on her face became more obvious.
She held Zizhu's umbrella handle with both hands, carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and muttered, "Go ahead." Turn right again and you will see the road back to Yong'an Palace...... But I've turned right three times......"
She recognized the way back to Yong'an Palace, but after walking for a long time, she couldn't find where the road was, and the road under her feet. But it seems to be getting more and more remote.
There was no way out, so she could only prepare to go back the way she came, to the place where she had been separated from Xiao Runzi before, and follow his words again.
But she had not gone far before she stopped abruptly.
"Oops...... I couldn't find the way back...... "For the first time, she found that she couldn't remember the sight next to her, but she couldn't remember the road at all.
The roads in the palace are complicated, and if no one leads her, she is afraid that she will not be able to find a way out even if she goes around for most of the day.
Good things don't come, but bad things happen one after another.
Ji Tongying ran away again, and I don't know if Xiao Runzi chased people back.
She hesitated, and continued to take a step.
I walked and walked, and I don't know how long I walked.
The huge palace was like a labyrinth from which she could not get out, trapping her.
Her body was thin, and she walked in the heavy rain for a long time, and her body was cold. Walking to the base of a wall, she sneezed five or six times in a row, and almost fell off the umbrella in her hand.
When the itch between her nose finally stopped, she tried her best to straighten her waist, and wondered if she should simply wait here, waiting for someone to find out that she was missing, and then come to look for her.
The umbrella in her hand was full of raindrops, heavy, she tilted the umbrella slightly, and the rain fell down.
When it seemed lighter, she raised the umbrella again.
Fang was about to take a step forward, when she noticed that there were several people standing in the rain not far away.
She was stunned and didn't dare to move.
The person on the opposite side walked over slowly, and the first person was a young man wearing white python arrow sleeves, and the few people who followed behind were wearing eunuch uniforms and were internal officials.
In a few steps, Xie Shuning quickly passed through the people he might meet in his heart.
Emperor Su Fang didn't have a son of such an age, so he couldn't be a prince.
can walk around in the harem, could it be a few of Emperor Qinglong's knees?
She thought as she sneezed a few more times, shivering all over.
The few people who were about to pass by her all looked over because of this movement.
The young man's face is like a spring moon, and his eyes are like paint.
Dizzy and swollen, Xie Shuning saw such a face.
Isn't this face the boy who disappeared in the ancient city of Khotan, Eleven? (To be continued......)
