Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 45 The Palace Locks the Lonely City
When Xiao Qiao went to report to the Imperial Forbidden Army, his leg injury had just healed.
In the few days she stayed in the house to recuperate, she could often hear the whispers of the people, and then she knew how anxious Lin Shuangyi was after she was imprisoned.
Lin Shuangyi has always been a calm person, especially after she has been the head mother of the General's Mansion all these years, she cares more about her dignified manners, and also cares about whether she is looked down upon by others.
But Xiao Sixteen's incident almost made her lose her mind, and she went to the military headquarters every day to beat the drums in those days, and knelt down all day.
Outsiders don't know that Xiao Qiao was rescued by the moon slave, but they only know that Xiao Qiao was imprisoned by Mu Yi and sent to Zhaocha Mansion, so Lin Shuangyi's move is really inherent, and they all say that she has a personal affair with Xiao Sixteen, I'm afraid that this General Xiao has a green head on his head.
This incident did make Xiao Qiao a little worried, and it was indeed because of the relationship between them. Although she couldn't be sure whether Sixteen had a friendship with Lin Shuangyi, Lin Shuangyi's heart did live in Sixteen.
Now, in order to hide his daughter's body, do you really want to make Ah Shuang's love and friendship so criticized by the world?
Xiao Qiao couldn't bear it.
However, can the world tolerate that Daqi's Zhenguo general is a woman?
She sighed, just looked up and saw the imperial robe walking with her back to her not far away, only then did she realize that she was about to walk to the harem, Xiao Qiao frowned, and was about to go back, but she collided directly with someone.
"Dog minion! When this palace is the inner courtyard of your house, you don't know where to look when you walk! ”
Xiao Qiao raised her head when she heard the sound, only to find that the person who hit her was the Yun Guiren who had bullied Qin Xilan with the tragic death of Concubine Ling she had seen on the day of the palace banquet.
Li Yunlai was very annoyed by such a blow, and she was already holding her breath in her heart, but now she happened to have a seizure, but she felt a little familiar with Xiao Qiao's face inexplicably, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
"If you are rude, you will be punished." Xiao Qiao wanted to get rid of her quickly.
"What a nobleman, my master has risen to Fangyi." The palace maid beside Li Yunlai reminded her.
"Yun Fangyi ......"
"Alright, get out of here."
Li Yunlai said impatiently.
When it came to this position, she was angry.
Because on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she bravely escorted her, and everyone saw it. After returning to the palace, people of all sizes in her palace also felt that this time the emperor saw the sincerity of the master, and he would definitely love the master more, so that the master would definitely be promoted. In the past few days, the people in the palace have also been very diligent, and they have been currying favor with Li Yunlai all day long.
Who knows, it is clearly her Li Yunlai who rescues the guardian, and it is clearly Qin Xilan who is making waves, but after returning to the palace, Gu Beiling not only did not love Li Yunlai more, but also did not dispose of Qin Xilan, and even stayed with Qin Xilan for the past few days and nights.
Today, the emperor gave two rewards.
One is that she Li Yunlai has been promoted from a noble person of the seventh grade to a Fang Yi from the sixth grade.
On the other hand, Qin Xilan was directly promoted from Zhaoyi of the fifth grade to the noble concubine of the fourth grade.
It's really angry Li Yunlai.
When Xiao Qiao left in a hurry, he caught a glimpse of the fierceness in Li Yunlai's eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Sure enough, all the places in this world that are framed by rules are high walls, and the love and jealousy in the high walls can turn a prosperous city into a lonely city.
"Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"
As he was walking, Xiao Qiao heard that there were palace maids calling around, and when he heard the words "Little Highness", Xiao Qiao felt that it was better to slip away first, and it would be embarrassing if he was recognized.
At this time, His Royal Highness Gu Lezhi was coming in from the dog hole of Fuqiang Palace, and he didn't care about what his face looked like, so he walked directly to this palace.
The Fuqiang Palace is really secluded and scary, probably because the palace door is never opened and no one has ever cleaned it. In addition to this, there is a disgusting smell of corruption here.
Gu Lezhi looked at the heavy spider webs hanging beside him and sighed: "I really don't know if Concubine Xiao will be scared here every day." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Concubine Xiao staring at her with wide eyes.
Concubine Xiao's long black hair was draped over her face, revealing only one eye, and a scarlet scar under her eye could be vaguely seen under the black hair, which had been burrowing into the collar from under her eyes. At this time, Concubine Xiao was looking at Gu Lezhi with wide eyes in the dark, and Gu Lezhi noticed it...... Concubine Xiao's mouth...... Be......
Rat's tail?!
was about to scream, but Gu Lezhi covered his mouth tightly. I don't know if the crazy and stupid Concubine Xiao learned from her or was also taken aback, she also covered her mouth tightly and immediately swallowed the food in her mouth.
Gu Lezhi trembled a little, she felt that this poor Concubine Xiao might be really crazy and actually ate mice......
But thinking about what she was looking for, she cautiously leaned over.
Gu Lezhi was afraid of Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Xiao was the same.
The closer Gu Lezhi got, the more Concubine Xiao dodged, until Concubine Xiao saw Gu Lezhi's face clearly, her pupils suddenly shook, and she opened her mouth but couldn't speak, just tears.
Gu Lezhi didn't dare to look at her face, because her open mouth was red at this time, probably ...... It's because Fang just ate the rat raw......
Gu Lezhi cried with a sad face, and quickly rushed to another corner of the main hall, and when she saw that person, her heart calmed down.
Concubine Xiao didn't follow, but kept looking at Gu Lezhi and the person lying on the ground at the other end of the main hall.
The man who lies down is sixteen.
She touched Sixteen's forehead and found that he had no fever, so she was relieved.
At this time, Sixteen was wearing the clothes of a eunuch, not like the sloppy and bloody appearance on the day of the first meeting. But looking at Sixteen's clothes, Gu Lezhi remembered the thing she hadn't seen when she changed Sixteen's clothes......
However, she immediately shook her head again, she was the eldest princess of Beiqi, how could she think of a prisoner's body in her mind!
Thinking of it, Gu Lezhi was melancholy, and looked at Xiao Sixteen with his hands.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival moon chasing meeting that day, she begged her mother to be a concubine for a long time, and spent a lot of silver taels to find someone to make the huge flower boat. It just so happened that her emperor brother didn't allow her to leave the palace that day, so she didn't need to think about how to sneak out of the crowd's field of vision in the Junsi Pavilion, so she happily let herself go.
It's just that she didn't expect that she didn't make it out of the limelight, and she almost had a big accident.
At that time, she was grazed on the shoulder by a feather arrow, rolled off the flower boat, and was rescued.
At this time, her shoulders were fine, and her waist and legs were fine, but the person who saved her was a little miserable, and when Sixteen ran with her, she was overturned by the horse's hooves and fell into a coma.
That day, this person was obviously lying in the prison car, but why did he suddenly roll under her flower boat again?
Gu Lezhi was puzzled.
She remembered that when the man was in the prison car, he praised her and told her his name, but it was too noisy that day. She didn't hear his name except for his praise of her.
Although this man saved her life and was her benefactor, this man was sitting in a prison car, what if her emperor's brother found this man and wanted to kill his head?
She had no choice but to hide him here.
Hiding here will not be discovered.
The skin of the person in front of him was not white, but his eyebrows were rich, and there was a shallow scar under his eye, like a tear.
Gu Lezhi felt that although this person was not as bright as her brother Mu Yi, she also liked it, especially his tear-like scar.
"It's not like Qin Zijiao, who was born with the same porcelain doll, and is not manly at all." Gu Lezhi muttered.
As soon as the words came out, Gu Lezhi hurriedly shut up, and was relieved to find that there were only Xiao Sixteen lying around and the crazy and stupid Concubine Xiao.
Gu Lezhi was angry when he mentioned Qin Zijiao.
When she was still a child, her mother and Mrs. Qin got married, but Qin Zijiao, who didn't know the height of the sky, never took her, the eldest princess who held the moon in her eyes.
On weekdays, she complained about Qin Zijiao, and the palace people around her only giggled on the side, saying, "Your Royal Highness clearly cares about Qin Zijiao in her heart." ”
But she didn't know that she didn't care about Qin Zijiao in her heart.
But even if Qin Zijiao is trying to go against his father, he doesn't have to go to those fancy buildings all day long to cause trouble, and secretly send autumn waves with other girls!
was angry, the lying man suddenly coughed, Gu Lezhi was about to pat him, but Xiao Sixteen coughed violently.
But Gu Lezhi has grown up in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she has never taken care of others, so she is a little at a loss at the moment.
Suddenly, she saw a hand on the ground covered with thick sores and pushed a bowl of water, and Gu Lezhi realized that the rancid smell in this palace might have come from Concubine Xiao's body.
Although Gu Lezhi obviously felt that Concubine Xiao's eyes were not terrible, it still made her scalp tingle. There was a faint layer of ash floating on the bowl of water, and Gu Lezhi's face was distorted together, but Concubine Xiao didn't understand why she wanted to do this.
In the end, Gu Lezhi blew for a long time, until she felt that she had blown away all the dirt in the water, and she was reluctant to give Sixteen a drink.
Gu Lezhi put Sixteen's head in his arms, and patted Sixteen's back like his aunt in the palace when she was coaxed to sleep.
Concubine Xiao didn't do anything, just looked at Gu Lezhi quietly, not noisy, not noisy, just watching.
Gu Lezhi felt numb in his heart at first, but now that he is used to it, there is a trace of pity in his heart.
"...... Are you scared here? Gu Lezhi asked in a glutinous voice.
Concubine Xiao didn't seem to understand, but she still looked at her like that.
Gu Lezhi sighed:
"I think you are pitiful, but I can't help you in anything, and it reminds me of the words of a sister I met before...... But I never saw that sister again, and I didn't find out the truth for the dead concubine as she said......"
After several attempts, Gu Lezhi found that Concubine Xiao really couldn't understand her, so he gave up.
But she looked at the scar on Concubine Xiao's face and suddenly thought of something...... She changed the prisoner's clothes that day, as if she saw the same scar on his leg......
Just thinking about it, he went to fish for Sixteen's trouser legs, but before he could reach it, he felt like the world was spinning, and he seemed to be pressed to the ground......
"Who are you?" Sixteen indifferent questions......
