Chapter Forty-Eight: Princess Anhe
Gu Yunxi fell into the soft pine branch pattern brocade quilt, and his whole body was surrounded by a cold breath.
She looked at the cold face that was close at hand, and her eyes were pale.
"What's wrong?"
The man's fingertips rubbed the girl's cheek with a hint of playfulness, and the touch was as cold and warm as porcelain, and slowly moved down to her delicate collarbone.
The youthful and delicate skin greeted the morning light, and because of the irresistible cold, the soft and fluffy hairs wrapped in the skin stood up in an instant.
He watched intently, and asked provocatively:
"You're afraid of me?"
Gu Yunxi wrapped the brocade tightly around his upper body and looked at his eyes dumbly.
The man's handsome eyes were no longer gentle, replaced by a deep and endless frozen frost.
The man's eyes were lowered, and his fingertips wanted to pick open the girl's clothes, but when he saw her delicate body trembling, he hugged her and asked:
"Still in good health?"
The moment he snuggled up to him, the coldness of his limbs and bones was even deeper, and Gu Yunxi couldn't help but think wildly, where the Overseer looked like a living person at this time, it was simply an iceberg, and the bone-piercing cold air was about to freeze her.
"Overseer, you, you're so cold......"
The girl's uncomfortably flat lips pressed her forehead against the man's chest, frowning and her teeth chattering as she spoke.
"Oh? In that case, would you like to warm me? ”
The man finally smiled, the curvature of his lips was meaningful, and the cold palm quickly sank into the brocade quilt, dexterously exploring the girl's graceful body.
Cold, so cold -
Why is the Overseer's whole body so cold? This cold and oppressive aura seems to have been encountered somewhere......
A question flashed through her brain, shattering the girl's sweet shyness.
After the intense chills, some trembling hands slowly raised to block the gravity on their bodies.
The door was pushed open.
"Qing'er?"
Gu Yunxi's eyes lit up, as if he saw a savior, and he stood up from the bed.
The man's face suddenly became gloomy, and he turned over and got out of bed, staring coldly at Qing'er putting down the tray and moving the medicine bowl to the side of the bed.
"It's time for the girl to take her medicine."
Qing'er's head was half-drooping, her voice was not loud, and she was weak.
"Well, I'm here to watch, you feed her the medicine and get out quickly."
The man's face was like cold iron, and he commanded in a hard voice and flashed to the side.
Gu Yunxi frowned strangely, looked at the man, turned to look at Qing'er again, and smiled:
"Qing'er, let's go to sea for the first time and encounter a storm, are you okay with Brother Xiao Shen?"
The girl in front of the bed didn't seem to hear it, she still hung her head in a daze, and most of her face was blocked by the shadow of her forehead, and she appeared directly in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes, and her appearance was indescribably weird.
"Feed her the medicine."
The Overseer reminded at the right time, and the cold voice fell heavily on Gu Yunxi's heart, making him tremble violently.
Why is this happening?
It feels so strange, there's something wrong with everyone-
Gu Yunxi thought silently, and a sweet white porcelain bowl was handed to her mouth.
Qing'er lowered her head and jumped word by word:
"Girl, drink the medicine."
Gu Yunxi looked into the bowl and immediately turned his eyes:
"Overseer, what kind of medicine is this?"
"You inhale too much smoke and your breath is unstable, this is a good medicine to help you clear your lungs, drink it."
The man replied casually, in a stiff tone, and could not be refused.
Having drunk all kinds of medicinal juices in the past, Gu Yunxi didn't have much resistance to those bitter soups and waters.
Worried that the Overseer would be unhappy, she didn't ask anything more, and took the porcelain bowl and drank the decoction in a few sips.
When the man saw it, he hooked his lips with great satisfaction and ordered Qing'er:
"You go down."
Qing'er silently cleaned up a few times, didn't look at Gu Yunxi more, and slowly walked out of the small pavilion with the glaze plate in her hand.
"Qing'er."
Gu Yunxi failed to call her.
She watched the girl's departing back in spite of her, and suddenly felt that she was like an empty shell, without thoughts, and even her steps were wandering like a ghost.
I don't know if it's because of the medicine, but the sleepiness comes up at this time. Gu Yunxi fell on the side of the bed, drowsy.
The man tucked the corners of the quilt for her, straightened up, and saw a dark shadow flash by the window.
"Sleep, I'm fine."
He turned around and walked out quickly, without any nostalgia.
Gu Yunxi forced his eyes to watch the door close again, and the feeling of loss and melancholy filled his heart.
What happened to the Overseer, and why did he seem to be a different person? What did he experience in this battle of southern Xinjiang?
Deep sleepiness hit, Gu Yunxi couldn't think anymore, closed his eyes and fell into endless dreams......
The man stood tall at the corner of the ship's string, and the subordinate next to him knelt down on one knee and whispered:
"Back to the Zun, the capital palace changed, and the remnants of the Ten Thousand Dao Hall entered the palace to assassinate the saint and caused Hua Nan Ze to die, and the Ten Thousand Dao Hall has been completely killed by the Gyeonggi army."
The man smiled coldly, and proudly looked up and said to himself:
"Hehe, big joke! If there was no internal response, how could the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall break into the palace guarding Senran? Hey, it's a pity that although the one-armed people have martial arts, they can't escape the fate of being unloaded and killed by the donkey. ”
The subordinate pulled his lips and laughed in agreement, and continued with his chin:
"In addition, the southern Xinjiang is victorious, and the fleet of Leng Qingtang will return from Qiongyang in a few days, and the first stop will be Weihai. Whether to set up ambushes and interceptions along the way, please also show your subordinates. ”
The man's eyes narrowed, and he thought about it seriously:
"No need, someone is hiding behind Leng Qingtang, waiting for Dongchang to kill the dog emperor after leaving Beijing, and he will be the emperor. Compared to us, he can't tolerate Leng Qingtang, and he will definitely not let him return smoothly. Tomorrow, he ordered the fleet to set off and sail to Weihai with all his might. ”
——
Dayi, Yuelai Inn.
Lu Qiange walked out of the room and walked down the stairs in the ethereal moonlight.
In the center of the courtyard, a woman dressed in simple clothes raised her head to look at the moon, with an elegant and graceful posture.
The sky was soaked in the night and boundless, the lonely moon was in the sky, a meteor crossed the sky, and the elongated white light illuminated the night sky.
Lu Qiange bowed behind the woman and called softly:
"Mother."
Disguised as a foreigner, they must be extra careful in their speech and behavior, lest the wall has ears.
Princess An He turned around when she heard this, and smiled softly:
"Miss Ji Yan fell asleep?"
Lu Qiange nodded, not talking too much, his clear purple eyes were full of sadness.
Princess Ann and Princess noticed it, and her eyebrows moved.
This time, she couldn't see the arrogance of the past on her son's handsome face, and the eyes that used to be only lonely and self-appreciating would now be full of softness and frustration.
"What, you have something to say?"
Princess Ann and Princess looked at her son quietly, her eyes full of love.
Lu Qiange's complexion was gloomy, his handsome face was solemn, and his anger was scorching.
"I didn't expect Hua Nanxin to be so ruthless, he used me and Master, not counting killing my father, even Master and Ji Yan refused to let go!"
"Shh......h
Princess Anhe raised her eyebrows, motioned for her son to shut up, and then comforted her carefully:
"People who are used to pretending are often overlooked, and there is nothing wrong with you doing what you have to do. It's just a matter of hearing about the seniors...... It's a pity. ”
Lu Qiange closed his eyes sadly, and his eyes were hot and moist.
In his ears, his mother's voice was calm:
"I talked to Ji Yan along the way, and I think she is a good girl. After this robbery, people will mature, and their delicate temperament will always change. ”
The man's eyes opened, and his expression was embarrassed.
An He smiled, tilted his head slightly to look at his son's shy red face, and simply made the meaning of his words clear:
"Hua'er, you're not young, I want you to marry her."
“……”
Lu Qiange buried his head lower for a while, his body was tossing and turning, and his demeanor was hesitant.
Princess Ann smiled calmly, approached her son slowly, and said softly:
"What, you don't like her?"
The man's eyes flickered, as if he was in a daze for something.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke:
"Mother, my son still has doubts in his heart."
"Tell me about it."
"My son still can't let go of Yunxi, if he marries Ji Yan and is still thinking about Yunxi in his heart, it will be unfair to Ji Yan."
The woman shook her head with a smile, and she patted her son's shoulder, patiently catching his pair of flickering eyes.
"Poems from the Central Plains:
The mountains and rivers are full of empty thoughts, and Mo Ruo takes pity on the people in front of him.
Even if you think about the past, now that you know the identity of Yunchao and the Admiral of Dongchang, you should know that she will be the love of your uncle's life in the future, and you and her will not have any results at all, why can't you let go of your obsession as soon as possible? ”
Suddenly, the purple eyes retreated to the bottom of the valley of sorrow, like shards of stars falling into a lake, engulfing the shallow brilliance.
After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly asked:
"Mother, have you ever really loved someone? Is he a father? ”
Princess An He looked directly at her son with a confused expression, looked calm, and said frankly:
"When I was fifteen years old, I met a man who was as beautiful as a fairy and fell in love with him at first sight. This person's surname is Hong, and he knows that my real identity is the eldest daughter of the South China royal family, so he wants to take me away from the imperial court and live in seclusion in paradise. He didn't want his father to know about this, so he expelled him and all the disciples of his sect from the border of Dayi. ”
Lu Qiange's eyes widened in astonishment:
"The man my mother is talking about, could it be that the thirteenth generation head of Tianyan Sect, Elder Hongzun Hong?"
Princess Anhe smiled lightly, nodded slightly, and turned her eyes away, locking towards the brilliant stars in the northern sky:
"My father's practice of beating the mandarin duck with his stick and breaking me up with my lover made me hold a grudge for a while, until that year when he was captured by Wu Dansheng as a hostage. It was at that time that I grew up in an instant and realized the responsibilities of being a princess.
Hua'er, you are the prince of the kingdom of Wudan, and I hope you can really distinguish between dreams and responsibilities.
Yunxi is solid, but she is the dream of your young and frivolous era, even if it is only an inch away, it is still gorgeous beyond your touch. And for Ji Yan, it is your responsibility as a man, can you understand? ”
Lu Qiange stood in the night breeze and pondered, for a moment, his five fingers were half grasped, and his empty expression became firm and resolute:
"Mother, my son understands, when the matter is over, my son will marry Ji Yan as his wife."
The footsteps were chaotic, and the two shadow guards appeared in front of the mother and son, and bowed:
"Master, our people have found out that five thousand Gyeonggi troops are rushing here, and the subordinates will protect the two masters and leave immediately."
Lu Qiange twisted his eyebrows and roared angrily:
"Isn't it enough to catch up along the way, does Hua Nanxin want to kill them all?!"
Princess Ann and Princess squinted and paced two steps, sneering:
"His deeds are not enough! Hua'er, take Ji Yan and leave with the shadow guard, and I'll stop the Gyeonggi Army. ”
"How does this work!"
"How not?"
Princess Ann and Princess chuckled:
"On this secret patrol, I have an ebony order with me, which can mobilize the Wudan dead soldiers who are ambushed anywhere in Dayi. What's more, our status is special, and as far as the relations between the two countries are concerned, the South China Letter will not dare to touch us in the slightest.
Hua'er, you and Ji Yan rushed to Pengzhou by sweaty BMW, and our people answered at the ferry. I think Hua Nan Xin will attack his Nine Emperor Uncle next for the sake of the throne, so you must find your uncle as soon as possible. ”
Princess Ann and Princess held her son's hand tightly and told him carefully.
With a miserable feeling in his heart, Lu Qiange gritted his teeth and decided:
"Mother, don't worry, my son will find his uncle and Yunxi very early. You should be more careful this time and take care of yourself. ”
