Chapter 073: I'll Send You Home
The Seventh Prince sat opposite Hua Qing, he was shaking his fan slowly, Hua Qing didn't look up and saw his face and expression clearly, he jumped up, flew out of the pavilion, tapped the lake with his toes, and flew towards the opposite side of the lake.
Subsequently, Du Qingyi also flew out.
Hua Qing didn't know why the two of them flew to the other side of the lake, but when she saw the man in black rushing out from behind the forest when the Seventh Prince landed, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in fright.
On the other side of the lake, the folding fan was in the hands of the Seven Princes, and it seemed to be much more flexible than a sword. The spun folding fan fluttered, killing the masked man in black back and forth.
Another long sword came from afar, and suddenly stopped after crossing a section, the assassin's body just moved, but the sword that stopped suddenly flew back, fighting all the way, Hua Qing hurriedly covered her eyes, because she saw that the horizontal sword cut the assassin's throat, like a thread that had been unsealed, blood gushed out from their necks, and the dead branch couldn't stand the huge blood column that suddenly spurted, and bent downward and dripped red beads of blood.
She had a chill down her spine, she had seen dead people before, but it was all after Xiao Zhan had killed her, and the real life was suddenly lost in front of her, and she was still the first time she had seen it, and the fear of death hit her, which inevitably made her scalp tingle.
The Assassin staggered to the ground, as if some large black ants were lying on top of the loess. The sound of the soldiers stopped, and she saw the Xuanyi boy with a long sword running towards the Seventh Prince.
Xuanyi Gongzi got off the horse and said something to the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince glanced at her, then patted Xuanyi Gongzi on the shoulder, and then got on the horse and whipped away.
Hua Qing subconsciously stood up, she wanted to follow the Seventh Prince, but when she saw that the Xuanyi boy who was rushing across the lake was Xiao Zhan, she hurriedly sat down again, turned around and turned her back to him.
She didn't know why the Seventh Prince left, and she didn't know why Xiao Zhan came, her heart was messy.
She picked up the teacup in a panic and took a sip of tea, and when she felt that the tea was too hot and wanted to spit it out, Xiao Zhan asked coldly beside her:
"Isn't the tea hot?"
She could only swallow the tea raw, the discomfort in her throat caused her to cough again and again, Xiao Zhan sat down directly opposite her, she raised her head, only to find that Xiao Zhan was staring at her, she was stared at creepy, so she unconsciously looked down at her feet.
"Am I that scary? Why did you talk and laugh when you came out with the Seventh Prince? Stay with me like I'm going to eat you? What the hell are you afraid of me? ”
Hua Qing was silent, Xiao Zhan looked around, and said to himself:
"Lingnan Xiangxuehai, my imperial uncle really looks up to you, and even his mother's provincial family can bring you here."
Back then, there were countless emperors and harems, but they favored the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi alone. No one in the harem has ever built a provincial courtyard in the capital, even in the suburbs, it is not allowed. But after the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi gave birth to the Seven Princes, she was a little depressed and unhappy, and the first emperor chose Lingnan Xiangxuehai to build a provincial family courtyard for her, and made an exception for her mother family to enter the capital to accompany her.
After the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi went out of the palace and lived in Lingnan Xiangxuehai, before his death, he entrusted his father to take care of the Seven Princes, and dispersed the mother family back to the fiefdom, after the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, Lingnan Xiangxuehai has been empty. Except for the annual pilgrimage, the Seven Princes rarely return to this place, let alone bring other people here. But his Seventh Emperor Uncle brought Anu over.
His gaze became more and more fierce, and he said to Hua Qing fiercely:
"Anu, I emphasized to you, you can climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, anyone can do it, but the Seventh Prince can't, have you forgotten?"
Hua Qing didn't answer, Xiao Zhan pinched her chin and forced her to look at herself.
"You look at me and tell me what the hell do you think?"
Hua Qing got angry, pushed his hand away, looked at him squarely and said:
"Your Highness, you must be clear that between me and you, we are not even friends, and the reason why I followed you to Fusang is because I mistakenly thought that you were going to send me to Yuncang. I am grateful to you for your kindness in taking me in and keeping me in the East Palace, but do I need your permission to communicate with anyone? Moreover, between me and the Seventh Prince, they are just friends, not what you understand. ”
Xiao Zhan's already fair face turned even paler after these words. The recent events came to Hua Qing's mind, and her heart surged up, and she said aggrievedly:
"I don't know anyone in this place, and I'm given the title of 'Anu' that you gave me, but that's not my name. Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are very busy, the Crown Princess and I can't speak well, and Sister Xue is not there, who should I turn to if I encounter something that I can't solve? I just came, I don't understand the rules of Fusang, and I can't talk to the maid, when Sister Xue is not there, I often starve alone until the early hours of the morning, because I don't know where to get food, in the Central Plains, it was the son who took me to eat delicious food, otherwise it was the pothos and purple kites they brought to me, unlike here, no one cared about me at all, I still drank water and drank enough later, do I dare to say such a shameful thing? ”
"I'm not used to life here, not used to eating sour every day, and then Du You told me that if you pretend to be a dancer and go in to dance, you can get the food given by the emperor, so I went, but after dancing out, I saw the Seven Princes waiting there, I went over to say hello to him, and then I didn't keep up with the dance team, and when I was annoyed, the guards of the Seven Princes came to invite me to the Seven Princes' Mansion to eat, saying that they have a cook who can cook Central Plains cuisine, so I said, and then I followed. I didn't expect that I would drink too much that day, but between me and the Seventh Prince, it was really innocent, not what you thought. ”
Her eyes were covered with moisture, and it seemed as if it was about to rain in the next moment. Xiao Zhan blamed himself, he didn't know that she wouldn't be able to eat enough when she was in the East Palace, he had clearly instructed the crown princess to cook her some food from the Central Plains, he couldn't help but think of that night when she said that her skin was itchy and she came out to find medicine, she couldn't help but blame herself even more.
Hua Qing saw that his face was gloomy and compassionate, and thought to herself that he probably wouldn't believe her words.
"Forget it, I know that there is a huge disparity in identity between us, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is high up like you, must think that a poor person like me has some intentions against the Seventh Prince. If you don't believe me, forget it, but what you said about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, I'm really not such a person. ”
He wanted to say that when I was done, I would send you home, but Hua Qing waved his hand at this time, and the jade hand was between him and her, cutting out a distance, and that sense of alienation did not allow him to say anything more.
"Seventh prince, he was very good to me, he took me back to the house yesterday, because I was hungry, he invited the imperial chef to cook food for me, sent me back to the East Palace overnight last night, and took me to Yinfeng Tower this morning, he heard the guards say that you and the emperor are going, so he took me away. He said he would take me hunting, but because today is my birthday, it is not appropriate to kill, so he came here. I have nothing to hide from you, and I don't have any thoughts about the Seventh Prince. It's just that he is the best person I have ever met in Fusang, and the time I spent with him was also the happiest time I had in Fusang. ”
After hearing these words, Xiao Zhan's eyes were so thick that he couldn't dissolve depression. This woman actually praised another man so much in front of him?
He put down the cup in his hand, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and after pausing for a moment, he finally kicked out and walked out, and Hua Qing hurriedly stood up.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Go back to the East Palace."
Hua Qing followed step by step, he didn't speak again, the sound of plum blossom rain rolled the wind and drove through, the bluestone slab steps were thick with a layer of plum petals, his ink-colored hair was like ink splashing, sticking to the falling petals, so beautiful that it was not like words.
"Your Highness."
His back was so lonely that it seemed that the whole figure was about to be drowned in the snow.
He turned around, looked at those clear eyes, and asked:
"What?"
Hua Qing folded her hands, thinking that maybe her unrestrained words had offended him just now, so she lowered her head very weakly.
"If I offended you just now, please forgive me, I don't mean to. By the way, what happened to the epidemic situation in the Tieling Battalion, General Tuo Duyou sent medicine over that day, I wonder if the soldiers in the army took it on time? ”
"I thought you forgot."
......
Hua Qing was speechless for a while, Xiao Zhan walked forward quickly, she followed and asked:
"So what is the current situation of the epidemic in the military? Do I need to rush back? ”
Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at her, her serious appearance at the moment, which was already eccentric, somewhat made him a little distracted.
"The epidemic is stable, you don't need to rush back, but I don't want you to run around. When these things are done, I'll send you home. ”
"Really?"
"Really."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
She thought that she would have to do a lot of hard work to beg Xiao Zhan to send her to Yuncang, but she never thought that Xiao Zhan, the glacier face, would agree to send her home so easily, happiness came too suddenly, and around her, the white plum illusion spread across the sky, making her feel that everything was so unreal.
She pinched herself, grinning in pain. I thought to myself, I wasn't dreaming! So I smiled even more.
She followed Xiao Zhan to the side of the carriage, but Xiao Zhan didn't mean to get into the carriage, she heard the sound of "Xiao Xiao" in a trance, turned to one side, and found that the pure black horse was walking towards her.
"Blackwing?"
She was very happy, reached out to touch it, rubbed her face again, and Wuyi chirped twice again, and leaned her face towards her.
She unconsciously looked back at Xiao Zhan, but she could hear him say:
"Get on the horse."
He moved over to her, and as he passed her, he took one hand around her waist and carried her on horseback. She was in a trance, amazed at the strength of his arm, and at the same time she was surprised to find that he had jumped on the horse at some point, and the black wing was also running.
