Chapter 333: Tuoba Peak
"Silly boy, my father will be cured soon." Uzi said lovingly caressing Elilian's hair.
Elilian nodded, and after serving the old king to take the medicine, she instructed the maid to keep watch by the side, and then withdrew with the medicine bowl and came all the way to her mother, Mrs. Zixi's palace.
Mrs. Zixi is a great Tuoba man, born extremely beautiful, and was shocked by the old king at first sight, brought into the palace, and gave Mrs. Feng.
At this time, Mrs. Zixi was teaching several maidservants to pick medicinal herbs from a pile of licorice. She had been a healer, and she had been cured of the old king's illness ever since.
"Mother." Elilian walked up to Mrs. Zixi and said goodbye.
Lady Zixi showed a gentle smile and asked with concern, "Have you served your father to drink the decoction?" ”
Elilian nodded, and the nightmare of running around and Da Tuoba for days and days, until standing in front of her biological mother at this moment, made her feel a little respite. But thinking that Najib had hurried back to Uzi from Datuoba, and that her father was sick again, Elilian frowned.
Mrs. Zixi thought that the old king's condition was serious again, and couldn't help but worry: "What's the matter?" What is the illness of your father? ”
Elilian reluctantly showed a smile and said, "Mother, don't worry, my father is just a little in bad spirits, and after taking the decoction you prescribed, Elilian believes that it will slowly get better." ”
Mrs. Zixi nodded, pulled her aside, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Have you told your father about that?" ”
Elilian knew what Lady Zixi was asking, and she had told her mother about Najib's plot the day she had fled from Da Tuoba.
"Father is not feeling well now, and Elilian doesn't want to add to his worries."
Madame Zixi nodded, "You did the right thing, now that you have returned to the palace safely, we will talk to him again when your father is better." ”
Elilian was not as optimistic as Mrs. Zixi, she believed that Najib must be planning a rebellion behind her back, and said in a hurry: "Mother, why hasn't my brother Dahui come back today?" ”
Madam Zixi didn't know Elilian's worries, and said softly: "Your brother was ordered to go to the border city to look for the core stone, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while." ”
Elilian didn't expect that after returning to Uzi after all the hardships, she would miss out on her brother Dahui, and happened to meet Dahui who went to the border city for the center stone.
"Mother, Najib has returned to the palace, and since he was able to force Elilian to marry Tuoba Yeze, and Elilian knew about the conspiracy between him and the five princes, Najib would definitely not let us go."
Elilian thought that when Najib took control of the palace guards in one fell swoop, even if it was her father, he might not be able to protect their mother and daughter, and her brother, who was far away in the border city, was blocked by news, and rushing back was tantamount to throwing herself into a net, and her heart was even more anxious.
Mrs. Zixi was worried about the old king's condition, so she shook her head after a moment of silence and said, "Mother knows your worries, but your father can't stand it now, so let's keep this matter under wraps for the time being." ”
This is the most difficult thing for Elilian now, her father is seriously ill, and Najib rushes back to the sidelines. In case Najib takes a risk and fights against the water, it will be unknown who will kill the deer at that time.
Seeing that Elilian was worried, Mrs. Zixi touched the other party's hair and persuaded: "Things haven't come to that point yet, your father is still there, Najib doesn't dare to do anything."
"Daughter knows, mother, don't be too tired, your father's body still needs your care." The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Princess Elilian took her leave and returned to her palace.
The maidservant who was waiting for her stepped forward and said, "Princess, today the Tuoba guards have come to ask you to take their leave. ”
Elilian paused, frowned, and said, "Got it, take me to the residence of the Tuoba guard." ”
The maid received the order, and Ying Sheng took Elilian to the house where Tuoba Peak lived, just in time to load Tuoba Peak, who was packing his luggage.
When Tuoba Feng saw Elilian, he hurriedly put down the clothes in his hand and saluted, "I've seen the princess." ”
"I said a long time ago, you and Elilyn don't have to pay attention to these false courtesies, you protect Elilyn all the way, so that I can return to the palace safely."
Elilian said and waved her hand to let the maid retreat, and took a few steps forward and said, "Tuoba Peak, can't you stay?" ”
In fact, before this, Elilian had mentioned letting Tuoba Feng stay by her side to protect herself. Along the way, Tuoba Yeze sent killers continued, and if it weren't for Tuoba Peak, she would definitely not have been able to return to Uzi safely.
"Princess, the minister is the secret guard of the Great Tuoba Yi King, how can he stay in the country of Uzi." Tuoba Feng frowned.
Elilian pouted, "Why can't you?" Haven't you had a good time staying in the palace these days? Or is there someone in the palace who is snubbing you? ”
Tuoba Feng was a little helpless, the reason why he lived in the palace for such a long time was entirely because Tuoba Zeyan gave him the task of protecting Princess Elilian. But according to the current situation, he felt that Elilian should be in no danger in the palace, so he repeatedly left to return to Da Tuoba to resume his life.
It's just that Ilielian stopped me again and again.
Faced with Elilian's retention again, Tuoba Feng had no choice but to say: "Princess, the minister promised King Yi to send you back to the Uzi country safely, and now that the task has been completed, the minister has no reason to stay." ”
Looking at Tuoba Peak, who was as unenlightened as a stubborn stone, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in Elilian's eyes. In fact, she has quietly fallen in love with Tuoba Peak in her heart.
Although Elilian liked Tuoba Zeyan before, she was not a person who was stuck in an emotion and couldn't extricate herself.
Now that Tuoba Zeyan has married a wife, Elilian has already let go.
On the way back when the other party escorted him, the two got along day and night, and it was inevitable that a friendship would arise. Especially when he brought himself to avoid tracking, he had pretended to be a husband and wife several times to avoid interrogation.
Thinking of this, seeing that Tuoba Peak was still leaving, Elilian couldn't help but shout angrily: "Okay, if you insist on leaving today, I will jump from here!" ”
As he spoke, his slender fingers pointed to the window, and he made a posture of wanting to jump.
"Princess, don't do that."
Elilian was unmoved and said, "If you want me to live well, you promise to stay." ”
Tuoba Feng was suddenly confused by Princess Elilian's request, his master was King Yi, so naturally he could only obey King Yi's orders.
But the point is, before leaving the Great Tuoba, King Yi repeatedly told him to ensure Princess Elilian's safety.
Seeing Tuoba Feng's embarrassed appearance, Elaine Li flashed a disappointment in her heart. She also knew the truth that the twisted melon was not sweet, and sighed and said: "Forget it, I won't be difficult for you, as long as my father's illness is cured, I will expose Najib's conspiracy, and if you want to leave again, I will never stop you." ”
As a royal princess, it's one thing to like it, but she also has her own pride. In front of the people you like, you don't want to be looked down upon.
Tuoba Feng didn't know Elilian's friendship, so he sighed helplessly and said, "I hope the princess can keep her promise this time." ”
"I want to go to the border city, you can accompany Princess Ben." Elilian's beautiful big eyes flashed.
"Why did the princess go to the border city?" Tuoba Peak Road.
"Naturally, I went to my brother. Prince Dahui. He had been going for a long time in search of the core stone. I'm going to find him myself. Elilian said.
The night in the border town seems to come a little earlier than in Kyoto, and the night soon envelops.
"Would you like to come and see the stars? Your Highness! Liu Mengyan stood in front of the window and looked at the bright stars in the sky outside.
Tuoba Zeyan walked over, hugged her from behind and said, "The stars in the border city are indeed much bigger than those in Kyoto. The sky is also much darker. ”
"That's because there are too many lights in the capital, but the brilliance of the stars in the sky is gone." Liu Mengyan said.
"Yan'er, in addition to coming to find the core stone, the main hall also has an idea that it wants to establish friendly exchanges with the Uzi country, the Dawan country, and the Yueshi country." Tuoba Zeyan looked at the lacquered sky, and his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
"There should be nothing wrong with the country of Uzi. As long as Princess Elilian uncovers Najib's plot and her sibling takes her place, Yeona believes that he will be a wise man. "Liu Mengyan thinks about everything.
"The princess seems to be very sure that Dahui can succeed?" Tuoba Zeyan looked sideways at the humanity in his arms.
Listening to the once familiar name, Liu Mengyan seemed to have a tremor in her heart, turned around, stared at Tuoba Zeyan's exquisite face and said, "Your Highness also believes that he will succeed!" Otherwise, after coming to the border city for a day or two, His Highness did not move, and only wrote a letter to the past. Is it addressed to Prince Dahui? ”
Tuoba Zeyan looked at the woman in his arms who was like a fox fairy, scratched her nose and said, "I really can't hide anything from the princess!" The main hall has already repaired the book and gone to the country of Uzi, hoping that Dahui will receive the letter from the main hall. ”
"What did Your Highness do in exchange for him?" Liu Mengyan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "What if he wants His Highness to accept Elilian as a condition?" ”
"The main temple is trading with him, and it has nothing to do with marriage. Besides, the main hall has already made it clear to Princess Elilian, and she should not have this idea anymore. Tuoba Zeyan said with a smile flashing in his eyes.
He likes to watch Liu Mengyan look jealous, it's really cute.
Liu Mengyan turned around again, looked at the sky, and said, "The people of Dawan have always been reluctant to interact with Da Tuoba, and it is not easy to conclude an alliance with them. Since his father ascended the throne, he has not interacted with Dawan. ”
"That was my grandfather's time. Dawan sent a beauty to his grandfather, which also represents the friendship between the two countries. But later, the Dawan beauty died, and I can't find out why. The Dawan people felt that Da Tuoba did not have any sincerity in friendship with them, so they broke off contact. Tuoba Ze said.
"The Great Wan Kingdom does not communicate with the Great Tuoba, and if the silk and porcelain of the Great Tuoba want to be transported to the countries of the Western Regions, the direct road will more than double, and it will also increase the risk of business travel." Liu Mengyan said.
