Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 44 Tuoban Prison Bird
As soon as he arrived at the Tuluan Palace, Xiao Qiao only smelled a familiar sandalwood here.
It is the fragrance that Gu Beiling always carries.
At this time, Gu Beixuan was not there, and the hall was solemn black, which made people feel depressed.
Xiao Qiao didn't know what Gu Beixuan meant by summoning her into the palace. But she knew that she was going up like that today, in fact, Gu Beiling was not very happy.
She knew that Gu Beixuan wanted her to put away her edge, but she couldn't do it, at least not in the matter of Xiao Sixteen.
She looked around, and there were many birds in the hall, and even when someone came in, they did not look around, and did not see any noise from them, but stood quietly in their cages.
Xiao Qiao knew that Gu Beixuan had liked birds since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would keep birds in the palace.
The desks, bookshelves and floors in the hall are full of piles and scrolls, but it is not like the emperor's palace is full of precious names, famous paintings, porcelain and playthings, Xiao Qiao sighed lightly, it seems that being an emperor is also very tired.
Wei Li asked Xiao Qiao to wait in the hall and retreated by himself.
Xiao Qiao rolled the axle wheel on the wheelchair by himself and looked at it.
There is a screen behind the case, which is an ink-dyed country.
Xiao Qiao stood in front of the screen and took a detailed cue, this is his world.
She suddenly remembered that she had asked the soldiers before, why did they join the army? Some people say that for fame, some people for justice, and there are people like Sixteen who are born to fight, and they are born to be soldiers......
But for Xiao Qiao, it's just to repay the favor.
That's all.
Her hand crossed the edge of the table, but she accidentally touched the scroll on the case, and the scroll rolled down to unfold a painting, Xiao Qiao hurriedly picked it up, but there were injuries on her back and legs, and it was difficult to reach. She was trying, but she didn't bother to glance at the contents of the scroll......
I saw the rain hitting Hsinchu and asking Basho, the Yingzang Pavilion whispered a shadow, and the clouds did not disperse, and the beautiful woman's lips opened and raised her eyes......
This is?
"You're here."
Gu Beixuan's voice sounded behind him, and Xiao Qiao hurriedly rolled up the scroll and took it back.
Xiao Qiao turned around, but did not look him directly into his eyes: "Minister Xiao Qiao, meet the emperor, I can't kneel down, and I hope that the emperor will punish you." ”
It may be the jealousy in her heart when she saw the proclamation that night, Ken Neng was that she watched the moon slave being arrested that night, and today she saw Qin Xiang being forgiven, and she had an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
Gu Beixuan ignored her life and walked quickly.
"I just went to boil medicine for you, and it was delayed."
He smiled and crouched down in front of her and handed her a delicate little bowl.
This small bowl is different from the small porcelain bowl in the courtyard outside the city, but Xiao Qiao has no intention of looking at it, only knowing that every line on the small bowl can hardly hide the royal extravagance.
Xiao Qiao did not take it directly.
This medicine reminded her of the moon slave, and also made her see that Gu Beizhu in the palace was not Gu Beizhu outside the palace.
Gu Beixuan, who is outside the palace, will cook a large table of dishes for the moon slave, and he is polite to everyone......
But Gu Beiling in the palace is so majestic, which makes her afraid.
After the moon slave was arrested that day, Xiao Qiao tossed and turned for a long time.
She couldn't forget the way Yue Nu looked at Gu Beiling, and she couldn't forget Gu Beiju's appearance of laughing at Yue Nu and saying "Yue'er", she thought that Gu Beiju went there to be a medicine boy just to test Yue Nu, Xiao Qiao also thought that maybe because of Yue Nu's medical skills and talent, Gu Beiling would forgive this woman who was threatened by others with her mother and how to fall into darkness.
She also thought that if Yue Nu knew that the gentle person in front of her was Gu Beixuan, would she directly cut off his life......
She was a little annoyed at this point, she should have thought of the result in the first place.
The moon slave plotted to be hateful, but she couldn't hate it, she always felt that the moon slave had something unspeakable.
Xiao Qiao suddenly felt a little bitter, so he asked:
"Is the Moon Girl okay?"
When Gu Beixuan heard this, he didn't speak, but continued to blow the medicine and handed it to Xiao Qiao's mouth, with a gentle expression.
But the more Gu Beiling was like this, the more uncomfortable Xiao Qiao became.
Gu Beixuan really doesn't care? When he got along with the moon slave in those days, was he really acting?
Gu Beiju, who takes care of himself, or Gu Beiju, who sentenced himself, which one is real?
"But the emperor began to plan this situation after learning about the moon slave in Muxi Mountain?"
Xiao Qiao said bluntly.
Gu Beixuan still didn't answer, just scooped the medicine and looked at her.
Xiao Qiao took the spoon and bowl in Gu Beiling's hand with some annoyance, poured the medicine in, and then sat up straight, looking at him with the same humility or arrogance.
"Do you blame me for not consulting you about this?"
Gu Beixuan looked at her eyes calmly.
Xiao Qiao sighed: "Since he is a monarch and minister, the emperor really doesn't need to discuss with Weichen......"
"Then who are you complaining about me for? Sixteen? Moon slave? Your Xiao general? Or the people? ”
Gu Beixuan interrupted directly, and then explained:
"I didn't know it was going to happen. You have also seen the hundred officials in the court today, and some things are not me...... It's not something I can make a decision on my own. If I blindly protect you and protect Sixteen, the court will only be more jealous of you, and I don't know what kind of means I will use to treat you in the future...... I'm all for you. ”
"I don't want you to protect us......"
Xiao Qiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
They didn't do this, they were just doing their duty and loyalty, so why should they be partial to seeking justice?
"I just hope that the emperor is above 10,000 people, and he will be able to see more clearly, clearly, and uprightly. If the emperor doesn't investigate and care about those rights and wrongs, how can the officials care and the people care...... So what is the morality in this world? ”
"Xiao Er, who is the big in the world, what is morality? Some things are really not as simple as you think......"
"What is simple?"
Xiao Qiao felt that Gu Beixuan was indeed unfamiliar at this time.
"Will everything come to light when we are condemned and our heads are killed? If such a person who has been implicated in the deceit kills one, won't there be two, three, or countless more......"
"I never thought of killing you, and I couldn't kill you......"
"What about Sixteen!"
"You ......"
Gu Beixuan only felt a heat in his throat, stood up and turned around to cover his mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed violently.
"So why should the emperor be cowardly and directly use the rules to kill the ministers, isn't it even easier? We don't have so much affection and strategy, just want to have a stable life, so do we hinder the emperor's grand cause? ”
Xiao Qiao took a deep breath, slid down from the wheelchair with an expressionless face and knelt down, his right leg hurt:
"Your Majesty, if you want anything in this world, the ministers are willing to take it for you. If you care about the common people, I will break the chaos and kill the enemy; Jun Wangzhan Hongye, I have no regrets...... I only hope that this prosperous world of Daqi can be happy with Ah Shuang Sixteen. ”
Gu Beixuan only heard a muffled knock behind him, but he felt that a thousand catties had smashed into his heart.
There was a lot of emotion in his eyes, but he could only turn into a sigh.
"You think all this is ...... Would I like to? ”
Gu Beiling's voice was full of bitterness and helplessness.
"If you want to see her in prison, go ahead. Sixteen is well placed, but you can't go to see him just yet. If you want real power, you will take over the Imperial Forbidden Army in the future. ”
After a long time, he hid the handkerchief in his sleeve, and then turned around and helped Xiao Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, to the wheelchair. He took the empty bowl in her hand and set it aside. took off a jade pendant from his waist and gently placed it in Xiao Qiao's palm, but there was more loss in his eyes:
"So, will you believe me?"
"I ......"
Xiao Qiao was startled by Gu Beixuan's miserable white face.
"Blame me, it's the painstaking effort in my obsession...... It hurts your care. ”
Xiao Qiao was a little stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Xiao Er." Gu Beixuan squatted and held Xiao Qiao's hand.
"Even though the world has given you and me thousands of malice, I still miss its kindness in my heart, just because I haven't seen the Hongqiao in the world, but I met you in the rain on the road. I hope you too, I don't ask you to give me ten million in the world, believe me, it's enough. ”
-
At this time, Lin Congzheng was standing on the roof waiting for Xiao Qiao.
But he didn't dare to move now, for fear that he would fall off the roof if he wasn't careful.
He sighed, one hand shielding himself from the sun, and the other fanning himself.
"I don't understand why you can't tan all the time?"
Lin Cong looked at the person in front of him and was very dissatisfied.
He looked at Kiichi's slender figure under the scorching sun, his fair skin, and his side face that even a man thought was good-looking...... sighed. I thought that I only blamed myself for not having a family and not having a daughter, otherwise he would not have been cheap Xiao Qiao's little white face.
Lin Cong sighed, sure enough, this immortal is fair, Mu Yi is good anywhere, Xiao Qiao is also good, but it's a pity that both of them are broken sleeves......
"Mu Mu, you tell you honestly as a teacher, you are interested in Xiao Qiao's Nine Dragon Whip, not her, right......?"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Cong immediately shut up, and pressed the hand that drew Mu Yi's sword: "Okay, good...... Shut up for the teacher, shut up for the teacher......"
"What did the emperor call her for?"
Lin Cong burst out laughing: "How do I know this, you go and ask people by yourself!" It's weird, then everyone else has done bad things and dare not say it, you helped that Xiao Qiao...... Two...... Three ......"
Lin Congzheng picked his fingers, and then waved his hand when he felt troubled: "Why don't you say anything when you help?" Could it be that you have hidden some trouble? ”
"The most troubled thing in this life is to know you." Mu Yi looked at Lin Cong's eyes and said seriously.
Lin Cong was very aggrieved, and just happened to see Xiao Qiao finally come out of the Tuoluan Palace, good guy, what are you talking about for more than an hour, he is going to be sunburned.
Complaining positively, but catching a glimpse of Mu Yi's eyes, Lin Cong said jokingly:
"Not necessarily...... The old man thinks that the biggest disaster in your life is her! ”
As soon as Mu saw Xiao Qiao come out, he didn't want to be seen by her, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Cong, so he jumped down from the eaves.
Lin Cong saw that Mu jumped so easily, and he jumped after thinking about it......
"Who put the bonsai on the palace road!"
Lin Cong pounded the ground aggrievedly, but when he stood up again, Mu Yi had disappeared into the shadow in front of him.
Lin looked further and saw the palace people pushing Xiao Qiao out, and Xiao Qiao was sitting in a wheelchair at this time...... With an arrogant face......
Lin Cong stroked his mustache, and a look of uncertainty flashed in his eyes......
These two people, what are they ...... Who's on it?
