CHAPTER XXIV

Far away in the northwest of Suiyang, in the territory of Beiliang, there is a small town, the town has always been ordinary and stable, very few major events happen, just a few days ago, a team of people came to the town, about hundreds of people, I heard that it was the Wu Barbarian sent to the Beiliang capital of the mission, the mission is not abnormal, the most special one is a boxy thing covered with a large piece of black cloth, there is no sound, but it is hidden mysterious.

There is a house in the town, the Wuman mission spends a lot of money to stay for a few days, the house is exquisitely decorated, and the place is also very large. Early in the morning, a naughty girl stood easily on the roof of the main hall, holding a string of extremely bright red beads in her hand, and couldn't put it down.

The girl smiled innocently, as if she did not mess with mortals. She sat on the roof, looking at the snow-white sky, and further afield, it was a mountain, as long as she crossed this peak, Suiyang, it would not be far away.

Brother Wang always said that Suiyang is so prosperous,

Suddenly, the girl heard the sound of a jar breaking underneath, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a girl panickedly picking up the scattered meat and holding it in her arms.

The girl smiled, performed light skills, and with a light leap, she stood in front of the girl.

As soon as the girl saw the visitor, she immediately knelt down and said in a panic, "The slave has seen the princess." She knew that the person standing in front of her was the princess of the Wu Barbarian Kingdom, Sikong Ling, this princess, with a changeable personality, was extremely difficult to guess, and if she was offended, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Sikong Ling looked closely at the flesh in the girl's arms, and pretended to be surprised, "You're finished!" You've soiled the meat you fed to his pet! ”

The girl kowtowed vigorously, "The princess forgives her sins, the princess forgives her sins, the slave is unintentional, beg the princess to let go of the slave, beg the princess to let go of the slave......"

Sikong Ling held his chin with one hand, pondered, and said innocently: "Why did I let you go? You have done something wrong, the queen mother said, if you do it right, you will be rewarded, and if you do wrong, you will be punished! If you run away from what you have done wrong, you should be punished! Ling'er wants to pull you in front of Ji Ruo, you stain his flesh, let him punish you! ”

After speaking, Sikong Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's clothes, jumped lightly, and fell to the ridge of a bedroom house in three or two strokes, Sikong Ling brushed away the accumulated snow with one hand, took away a tile, and smelled the incense in the house, Ji Ruo seemed to have just bathed out, only covered with a layer of red silk, half-naked chest, lying on the bed to rest, a few strands of hair on the forehead were a little messy, but it did not delay Ji Ruo's beauty at all.

Sikong Ling thought that he was still carrying a person in his other hand, and suddenly looked at the girl, and snorted softly, "I can't show you the beauty of Jiruo!" ”

Immediately, as soon as Sikong Ling let go, without waiting for the girl who made the mistake to react, she rolled down the eaves and fell off the roof, breaking her leg.

When he heard the movement, his weak eyes slowly opened, and he happened to see the empty spirit on the roof.

Sikong Ling was glanced at by Ji Ruo, and subconsciously nervously took the tile to cover the hole that was not big or small, you know, last time I peeked at Ji Ruo's beauty, and she was punished by Brother Wang for a month.

Sikong Ling jumped from the eaves and landed in the front yard, at his feet was the girl who made the mistake.

She trembled and reached out to touch Sikong Ling's ankle and prayed, "Princess, I beg you to spare the slave...... The slave knew that she was wrong, and begged the princess to forgive ......"

Sikong Ling took a step back lightly, leaned over to observe her carefully, shook his head, and said: "The rules of the queen mother, no one can violate them, and Ling'er is the same, if you do something wrong, you will be punished, this is the price!"

Suddenly, the door of the room was opened, and the person in front of the door was Jiruo. At this time, Ji Ruo was already dressed, and he was no longer the fragrant appearance of his half-naked chest that he had just seen.

Sikong Ling looked at Ji Ruo with a smile and said, "Ji Ruo, I just saw that this girl knocked over your pet's meat, so I brought her over and handed her over to you to dispose of."

Ji Ruo moved in front of Sikong Ling, looked down at the kneeling girl, hooked her lips and said: "Today's meat is not done, since she knocked it over, I will send her in as meat."

When the girl heard this, she was shocked and pale, she desperately grabbed the corner of Ji Ruo's clothes, and begged with a panicked expression, "The master spares his life, the slave knows that it is wrong, the slave and the maid ...... The slave and maid will act carefully in the future, hoping that the master will spare his life! ”

Sikong Ling ripped the girl away, and kindly reminded, "Ji Ruo loves to be clean, but you just pulled the corners of his clothes!" ”

The girl glanced at Ji Ruo in fear, and her whole body trembled with fear. She immediately kowtowed heavily and kept begging for mercy!

Ji Ruo glanced at the girl who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "They have eaten livestock for half a year, it's time to open the meat."

Sikong Ling couldn't help but say excitedly: "What are you waiting for! Don't hurry up and throw her over! ”

Immediately, two masked men appeared, knocked the girl who had made the mistake unconscious, and took her away.

Seeing that someone was taken away, Sikong Ling knew that he couldn't stay for a long time, otherwise he would be seen by Brother Wang and would be chattering in her ear again.

Sikong Ling smiled so innocently, a pair of big watery eyes smiled like a crooked crescent, and faded out of his sight a little bit.

Unconsciously, Qingyuan has been away from Suiyang for half a month. In the past half a month, Ning Bai has been living a good life in the Imperial Doctor's Office, the queen is gracious, she treats her well, and she is also doing well in this palace.

It's just that there is a great second highness who invites her to the Zhengqing Hall from time to time to be a "guest", and she still walks through the back door of the Zhengqing Palace! Anyway, she is also a person with an official now, so she is so unsightly? And also! It was just a matter of pricking needles and boiling some medicine, but I didn't expect that I would let her sit like this and do nothing. She admits that it is nice to have a handsome man in front of her, but there is no need to see her every day, she is a little tired.

On this day, she was invited over as always, and she had already wandered around this residence of the Second Highness.

She sat cross-legged on the warm couch, looking left and right when she had nothing to do, Xu Feng went out early, and when he came back, it was time for her to leave.

Helian Jianyi stood in front of the table, holding the pen and ink, with a soft expression, and every time the pen was put down, it was careful and careful, and it was not allowed to shake in the slightest. Every painting is a white and cold pear blossom.

She once asked why, Helian Jinyi's eyes showed loneliness, looked at the painting, and said, "Mother loves pear blossoms."

At the same time, in another part of the Zhengqing Palace, Mu Guixue was studying the map of the Beiliang Palace that had been drawn from memory in the past few days.

After half a month, she probably knew the patrol situation of the entire palace, but it was just ...... She only knows the patrol on the surface, but she doesn't know the defense in the dark, and she can't act rashly.

In addition, Ying Qi did not have any news about Ah Xin, and her actions seemed to be forced to stop.

Mu Guixue was clueless at this time, at a loss in her heart, not knowing what to do next. She got up and opened the door, there was snow outside the door, looking at the snow, silently counting the time, she couldn't help but think of the worst......

Rong Si came all the way along the faintly visible stone road, saw Mu Guixue standing outside the door, trotted forward, and shouted, "Senior sister!"

Mu Guixue looked at Rong Si and said, "The road is slippery in snow, but be careful."

Rong Si seemed to have something new, and hurriedly said, "Senior sister, I saw that mysterious person at the back door again today."

"But you don't see what you look like?" Mu Guixue quipped. This matter lasted for several days, and Rong Si stared at it every day, but he didn't see the person's appearance clearly every time.

Rong Si looked discouraged, "Senior sister has already guessed it." ”

"If it's easy for you to see, then why lead through the back door? It's better to walk through the front door in a bright and bright way, and see the real thing. Mu Guixue looked at Rong Si, and her words were vigilant, "This is the palace, and the Zhengqing Hall is the place of the Second Highness, in the future, don't speculate." ”

Rong Si pouted helplessly, "Senior sister's teachings, Rong Si remembered." ”

In the Taishi's Mansion, it was gloomy, the attendants were careful to serve, the adults were already unhappy, if they did something wrong and provoked the adults to be angry, it was not something that could be solved with an ordinary meal.

In the study, Ying Qi sat at the table and carefully wiped the beads in his hands. Under the table, kneeling were the leaders of the secret guards of all sides. Shi Yan stood aside, still so cold that he couldn't get close.

Ying Qi wiped it and said in a deep voice: "The palace is such a big place, you haven't even found a figure in the middle of the moon, or are you ...... Not doing your best? ”

The atmosphere in the study was gloomy, and suddenly, one person opened his mouth, and his voice revealed unconcealed tension, and said truthfully: "The dignity of the throne, the subordinates and others have searched for the people described in the throne, it is really ...... Seeking is fruitless. ”

Suddenly, Ying Qi paused the movement in his hand, raised his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, looked at the few people kneeling below, and said, "An explanation of 'seeking no result' wants to send this seat away, right?"

Several people trembled, and responded in a panic: "My subordinates don't dare!"

Ying Qi gently put the bead flower into the box, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Don't dare?" Suddenly, his face showed anger and shouted angrily: "Get out of this seat!"

Several people looked up at Lord Ying in horror, they had followed the adult for many years, and they had never seen the adult so angry, so they had to flee out of the study in a hurry.

Ying Qi scolded angrily as if he was crazy, "Waste! It's all rubbish! I can't even find anyone, so what do I want you to do! Shi Yan was beside him, looking at it coldly, clenching his hands tightly, his nails were already embedded in the flesh, oozing blood.

In a moment, Ying Qi frantically made a mess of the entire study, only clinging to his most cherished box, curled up in the corner, and the crown of his hair fell off at some point, so that the hair strands were messy. He seemed to be afraid, his body kept shaking, his eyes were red, and he said to himself: "Did Ah Xin already know everything?" So in the past few years, she has been hating me, she has been avoiding me, even if it is close, she does not want to see me in every way...... I'm afraid of her, and I don't need my protection anymore......"

Shi Yan watched Ying Qi go crazy, but he still stood silently in place, and he didn't speak. When she walked out of the study, she glanced at Ying Qi who was curled up in the corner, and walked out of the door. When he turned around, Shi Yan bit his wrist, and the tears in his eyes were like a flood, wanting to cry...... But she couldn't make a sound, she looked so sad and pitiful, but she herself had no regrets.

She suddenly hated the county lord of Southern Chu that Ying Qi had been looking for, even if she didn't see anyone, an empty piece of news was enough to affect Ying Qi's emotions and make him immersed in pain and self-blame.
