Chapter 3: Meeting Without Knowing Each Other (2)
Since Brother Ling Xiao was named the county guard three years ago, he rarely came to the mansion, but he only heard that Brother Ling Xiao was busy with official business, and he was rooted in the work of Yanzhou, and he was as quiet as the world.
For Qianqian, it doesn't matter where Ling Xiao is, as long as there are no other women around him, as long as Ling Xiao's heart is on her.
She looked at the white bracelet carved from ivory on her wrist, and when Ling Xiao put it on her, Qian Qian looked up and asked Ling Xiao, "Brother, will you marry me?" ”
Ling Xiao smiled and touched her head, "It's still a little girl!" ”
"Then you answer me, will you?"
"I will always protect you"
"That's a promise to me!"
Qian Qian took the initiative to hold Ling Xiao's big hand, Ling Xiao did not refuse, his hand held her warm but strong.
Under the moonlight, on the roofs of the large and small houses in Lingfu, the clear glow of the moonlight sprinkled on the rubble, the breeze blowing, the bright moon in the mountains, and the bamboo shadows swaying. Qian Qian and Ling Xiao stood quietly on the roof, looking down on the bustling Yanzhou City in the night sky, Qian Qian was fourteen years old at that time, and Ling Xiao was eighteen years old.
Ten years passed in a flash, and Qian Qian was seventeen years old at that time, and Ling Xiao was twenty-one years old.
Qian Qian took off the ivory bracelet on her wrist, but she also squeezed it tighter in her hand.
Time flies in a blink of an eye, it has come to the day of the birthday ceremony of the prince, and the emperor's condition has improved slightly, the people in the palace are festive, the palace guards and the palace ladies have begun to prepare for the birthday ceremony of the prince to hang lanterns hanging lanterns, arrange tableware to arrange tableware, dancers orderly for the final rehearsal, each palace people are in a hurry.
And the Bai couple and their daughter Qian Qian were still on the way to come.
After passing through one palace gate after another, and finally arrived at a place called Chang'an Palace, where the ministers gathered and waited for the arrangement to be seated.
The palace maids entered the hall with jade plates and delicacies, the style of this palace is different from ordinary people's homes, the golden pillars and beams of the vermilion lacquer pink wall are surrounded by dragons and phoenixes, and Qian Qian remembered the teaching of her father and mother before going out, "Since it is everyone's girlfriend, you must have the appearance of everyone's lady, and you can't be as unreasonable as at home"
Coriander is coriander, where you can indulge, and where you should show off her naturally.
I looked around the Chang'an Hall twice, but I didn't see Ling Xiao's figure, it seems that he hasn't come yet.
"Alas! Isn't this Haku-sama? Long time no see! Long time no see! An old minister greeted him with a smile.
"Master Li, long time no see!"
"Mother! You see that I have nothing to do here, and I can't talk about you adults catching up with the past, so you see if I can go out and walk around..."
"This is the palace, not as good as home!" Zhang Caixin looked at Bai Ka-shing beside him, knowing that his daughter couldn't control her temperament, and wanted Bai Ka-shing to take care of it, but Bai Ka-shing only cared about greeting other ministers, and had no time to take care of family affairs here.
"Mother! I'll just take a turn for a while! A little while! Qian Qian held Zhang Caixin's arm with both hands and prayed coquettishly like a child.
"No way!"
"Mother! I'll be around here for a while! ”
"Okay, okay! Remember to come back soon."
"Thank you, mother"
"Don't be angry with me!"
Qian Qian walked out of the Chang'an Palace, except for the fourteen-year-old father came to the palace, this is the second time, this palace seems to be magnificent, but the palace of all dynasties is a place full of open and secret battles, this palace wall is locked and how many beauties compete for favor in this harem, and how many Fanghua are lonely and miserable here.
Fortunately, he is not one of them, even if he has endless glory and wealth, it is still better to stay alone in a state with Brother Ling Xiao, find a place in the prosperous world and spend the rest of his life with his husband and children.
Walking along the palace wall, from time to time there are palace maids walking with their heads bowed and hurrying.
Suddenly, a man in black jumped down from the tile wall, his eyes were cold as if he would kill someone when he saw it, and before Qian could react, a bright long sword was on her neck.
"Ahh Woo... A pair of big hands covered her mouth, and she couldn't scream at all, "If you want to live, don't scream!" ”
Qian Qian raised her hands high to indicate that she was a powerless woman, and there was no threat to him, but her heart had already jumped to her throat, and she regretted it in her heart, she hadn't said goodbye to her father and mother, and she hadn't seen Ling Xiao yet.
Qian Qian raised her hands high to indicate that she was a powerless woman, and there was no threat to him, but her heart had already jumped to her throat, and she regretted it in her heart, she hadn't said goodbye to her father and mother, and she hadn't seen Ling Xiao's side yet, and the cold sweat on her palms was oozing a little.
A string of footsteps became clearer and clearer, "Give me a good look, I can't catch anyone and ask you!" A man's voice was very clear.
Coriander understands that the man in black is now being pursued. It's a chance to get out of the way!
"You better let me go, after all, killing me will only make you have more enemies, you can rest assured that the guards will come in a while, I won't tell you" The people pursued by the palace guards are not ordinary assassins, after all, the people who pass through the palace guards are either ministers who can easily enter the palace, or they are extraordinary assassins, Qian Qian tries to calm herself, and the people who can assassinate the palace must not be afraid of their Bai family, Qian Qian can only find a way to protect herself now.
"Huh, snitch? Only the dead will not tell the truth" However, the man in black put down the sword that was on her neck, and Qian Qian was shocked after hearing this, she thought that she was going to die in Huangquan, and closed her eyes tightly, ready to meet death.
"Hmm..." a pill was stuffed into his mouth, and the man in black said, "If you want an antidote, you know how to do it!" With that, the man in black ran towards the nearest turning point.
Coriander never thought that the man in black would let her go, but the pill she was forced to eat, she had to help him escape if she wanted to get the antidote from this assassin to survive, and Qian Qian waited for him to hide and shouted, "Ah! Help me! ”
Qian Qian saw a few guards running over, and the sword and armor on her body sparsely rattled with the undulation of her body as she ran. immediately sat down on the ground, pretending to be panicked and extremely aggrieved, and held back two tears by the way.
"Wechen is late! Frightened the mother! The leading guard knelt in front of Qianqian, because this was where the concubine lived, and the guard mistakenly thought she was a concubine, and the guard behind stopped after her.
"How can there be an assassin in this palace? What do you guards do! Go get the Assassin! While wiping her tears, she pointed in the opposite direction where the man in black was hiding, fortunately it was a three-way intersection, otherwise Qian Qian didn't know where to point.
"Please rest assured! Chen, I'm going to arrest the assassin and give you an explanation! ”
The guards and their followers rushed in the direction pointed by Qian Qian, who breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and slowly stood up, until the soldiers disappeared from sight, and the black man walked out.
"Well done"
"Now you can give me the antidote!" Coriander held out her hand.
"In ten days, someone will bring you to your house."
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know"
"Then how did you send it to me?"
"There is no one in this world who can't find a place I can't find," he said and jumped up and disappeared into Qianqian's field of vision.
"Hey! Feed! ”
10 days, 10 days...
Qianqian's mood fell to the extreme, half an hour passed, and she could only return the same way, what if he didn't come after ten days? If she had been killed in her home, the Assassin would have had nothing to do with her death.
No! She still has to accompany Ling Xiao's brother to walk a long, long way, she can't die so early, and her father and mother are only her children. I can't tell my father and mother about this, I can only tell Brother Ling Xiao, maybe he can help her.
"Who's here? Don't kneel down when you see the eldest prince?! A yin and yang voice came.
A word woke up a person in a dream, Qian Qian turned around, and the eldest prince was followed by the eunuch Zhang Gonggong and two guards.
The eldest prince hadn't noticed Qian Qian yet, but after Gonggong Zhang said this, he turned his gaze to the woman not far away.
"The little woman is the daughter of General Bai, Bai Qianqian" But Qian Qian didn't know anything about the etiquette in the palace, she pursed her lips very crampedly, twisted the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and looked blankly at the eldest prince who walked towards her...
This is the legendary Great Prince... The contours are sharp, the lips are like knives, the eyes are deep, and the eyebrows are full of overlord aura, and there is even a suffocating coldness......
As soon as the eldest prince raised his hand, the eunuch and the guards stopped, and now only the eldest prince walked towards Bai Qianqian, who lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly, and her body was already trembling...
Maybe she can be calm and calm when she encounters an assassin, but this person is the eldest prince of the current imperial court, I heard that the palace people broke the wine glass and wanted to lose their heads, and just let go of the assassin in order to save their lives, but now they have met the eldest prince but they can't! After all, Li's father worked under him, and now her every move is related to her family, and she heard that the eldest prince is indeed cold-blooded and unpredictable.
"Look up" Wei Tianyue lowered his head and approached Bai Qianqian little by little, looking at the frightened woman in front of him, this is Bai Jiacheng's daughter......
Although he was not interested in a woman, she would be his wife.
Qian Qian slowly raised her head, but the man was too close! The breath of her breath fell on her face, and her cheeks turned crimson when she looked away.
"Eyes on Me"
As if giving an order that could not be disobeyed, Qian Qian could only be led away by his words.
She looks at it with her heart!
She looked up at the man, the remaining playful smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, his eyes seemed to have a sea of stars, and when he became serious, Qian Qian was completely attracted to it......
Suddenly, the man's cold fingers slipped down her cheek, and she could clearly feel the strength of his hand, and she was forced to lift her head, his gaze falling on the tip of her chin......
Coriander's breathing became more and more flustered, her neckline was slightly pulled open by him, she could clearly feel the coldness of the man's fingers touching her throat, what was he going to do...
