Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

The medicine that Changle applied to Ji Qianning had a miraculous effect, and later, the maid applied the medicine brought by Nangong Ning for her to treat scars, and under the effect of the ointment, she had a lot less pain on her body.

She was lying bored on the couch, and the maid helped her out of bed and leaned against the desk, serving fragrant tea, and she was eating tea while looking out the window in a daze.

The night was shrouded, it was dark outside the window, Ji Qianning waited for a long time, but he didn't see the return of Xuanqi, who entered the palace and faced the saint.

After a while, several maids who served her came with food, and Ji Qianning asked softly, "Has King Ling ever returned to the house?" ”

One of the maids spoke: "Returning to the girl, King Ling has just returned to the house and ordered the slaves and maidservants to prepare a meal for you. ”

Ji Qianning smiled at her: "You go and call him." ”

"The prince said that there is something important to deal with, let the girl not wait for him to eat together." The maid bowed her head and replied respectfully.

Ji Qianning was inexplicably a little lost: "In this way, I went to invite my uncle to come and dine together." ”

It was still the maid who had just answered: "The slave maid just met Xiao Yi and said that Senior Mo asked him to tell the girl, and Mo Lao was invited by a friend to eat and drink, so that the girl didn't have to wait for him." ”

Ji Qianning was depressed in his heart, his uncle was really relieved, his niece was injured, and he went to Yaxing to eat and drink, alas......

"Go down." Ji Qianning suddenly felt that the wound was a little painful, and said weakly.

The maids looked at each other and smiled, showing no signs of leaving: "The prince ordered the slaves and maids to watch the girl eat." ”

Ji Qianning was helpless, cursed Xuanqi countless times in her heart, and finished her dinner under the supervision of the maids. It was late at night, and she still didn't see Xuan Qi's figure, she was bored in the house, so she put on her coat, avoided the maid who kept vigil, and sneaked out of the room, wanting to find a trace of Xuan Qi in the house and pass the boring time.

A few days ago, Xuan Qi renovated the Yuanxi Pavilion in the backyard, equipped with all the things needed, and let Ji Qianning live in it temporarily. Leaving Yuanxi Pavilion all the way to the right, she didn't walk a few steps to the outside of Xuanqi's study, she saw the candles in the room, so she tiptoed over to find out.

Before she could gain a foothold outside the door, a cold sword was pressed against her neck. Ji Qianning condensed her luck, raised her eyes, and saw a strange face glaring at her, she slowly relaxed her vigilance, and the one who could appear outside Xuanqi's study must not be an outsider. So, she let the strange man escort her into the study.

"I saw this woman sneaky at the door, with an unfamiliar face, and she didn't dress like a person in the palace, she must have been a wrongdoer, so I took her in for interrogation." The strange man said to a few people in the room, with a proud face.

Stealthy? Ji Qianning was depressed in her heart, didn't she just find someone, when did she become a wrongdoer?

At this time, there were three people in the study, all of whom were doing their own things, Ji Qianning looked around and didn't see Xuan Qi.

Hearing the man's voice, all three people in the room stopped what they were doing and looked over. Suddenly, three expressions appeared on the faces of the three people.

"Daytime, you, you ......" The person who was speechless for a long time was the dark night, and the scene in front of him was the master's beloved woman, who was put on the neck with a sword by a bold and ignorant subordinate, "Oops...... " He shouted in his heart that it was not good, and he could only pray for the day in his heart, and may the master spare him.

"You're in trouble." Su Wei hurriedly ran over and snatched the sword, glared at the strange man named Bai Day, and then invited Ji Qianning to sit down with a smiling face, poured a cup of tea for her, and was full of shame, "Miss Ji, he is not sensible, don't be like him." ”

Ji Qianning shook her head, a little funny in her heart: "It's okay." ”

"Your injuries?"

"No problem." Ji Qianning replied with a smile, "By the way, where did your master go?" ”

"The master has something to do, don't worry, girl, this meeting should also come."

"Something big? Even Su Yi came to Fuzhong today. Ji Qianning nodded to Su Yi in the corner, and Su Yi returned the salute, "Su Wei, if it's not confidential, I hope you tell the truth." ”

Su Wei thought about it for a while, but decided to say it: "The western corner sent troops to Beiyue, the small country of Beiyue in the northwest is a subordinate country of our Chiyan, and the western corner is a blatant declaration of war on our country, if Beiyue is annexed, Chiyan will be in danger." ”

Ji Qianning suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart: "Do you know who is leading the troops?" ”

Su Wei's expression suddenly became serious: "Third prince." After speaking, he glanced at Ji Qianning with his afterglow.

Ji Qianning sneered in her heart, Xuan Qi said that Ling Chengzhi assisted in the management of the Daxin Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he would be in person now. She suddenly glanced around, as if she understood something, and asked, "Your master is going to go on an expedition?" ”

After seeing Su Wei nodding in embarrassment, her heart suddenly panicked, and the picture from many years ago flashed in front of her eyes over and over again, Xuan Qi fell into her arms, blood soaking through her ink-colored clothes...... For a while, fidgeting, the wound was faintly painful, she didn't care about the pain, picked up the teacup and drank a big sip, so that she could pretend to be calm.

Bai Tian looked at all this suspiciously, with a confused expression.

After a while, three people came into the study, talking about something as they walked.

Ji Qianning looked up, only to see that Xuan Qi was still wearing a court dress with an ink-colored background and gold silk patterns, reflecting the candlelight, his face was more handsome, for a while, she felt very kind, she couldn't wait any longer, got up and ran forward, holding his arm tightly.

Bai Yi and Xuan Yi behind Xuan Qi glanced at a few people in the room, and everyone understood, Su Wei pulled up Bai Day, who was still puzzled, and walked out of the study. As soon as he got out of the study, Bai Tian asked what he doubted, Su Wei sighed helplessly, and exaggerated the cause and effect to him, and after understanding everything, Bai Tian paced back and forth, feeling regretful in his heart.

Inside the house, Xuan Qi gently touched Ji Qianning's head, and his tone was extremely gentle: "What's wrong?" He was happy in his heart, this moment, he had waited for a long, long time, and now, it was so real and so illusory.

"Do you really want to go?" In Ji Qianning's words, there was a sense of reluctance.

Xuan Qi was confused by her question, and suddenly understood, his heart tightened suddenly, he didn't want to hide it from her, he wanted to find an appropriate time to tell her, but he didn't know that she knew so quickly. Seeing the reluctance in her eyes, her heart quickly melted, and she said eagerly: "Wait for me, wait for me to triumph." ”

"Hmm." Ji Qianning looked into his eyes, "When to go?" ”

Xuan Qi pondered for a while, and couldn't bear to say: "The day after tomorrow." ”

Ji Qianning didn't expect it to be so fast, she felt a little sad in her heart, and when she said goodbye to Xuan Qi, she became sensitive in her heart, pretended to be calm, and said affectionately: "Chiyan seems to be the same as Daze, and women are not forbidden to enter and leave the barracks, so I can go with you." ”

Hearing this, Xuan Qi held her hands tightly, his eyes full of pity: "Your injuries have not healed, take care of your illness in the mansion, wait for me, I will return soon." ”

Ji Qianning still wanted to say something, but when she saw his eyes, the words came to her lips, and she swallowed them again, and then nodded obediently, she didn't want to worry about him anymore.

"Wait for me for a moment." She suddenly thought of something, let go of Xuan Qi's hand, turned around and walked out.

Xuan Qi was in a trance for a while, and when he reacted, Ning Er was injured and there was no trace of her.

The few people who walked out earlier did not leave, but tiptoed around, secretly watching everything that happened in the house, and even Bai Yi joined in. I saw a few seven-foot men with envious smiles on their faces.

Seeing Ji Qianning come out, several people scattered and fled, and the rest of Bai Yi, who had not left in time, turned around, pointed to the night sky, and said something to Xuan Yi.

"Brother Yi, Eleven."

Ji Qianning's call had to make the two turn around, Bai Yi pretended to be fine, pointed to the night sky and said: "The moonlight is picturesque tonight, such a good day, you can't live up to it, you can't live up to it." ”

Ji Qianning looked up at the sky and responded, "Well, the colorful night is very beautiful, and it really can't be disappointed." After saying that, he held back a smile and left.

Bai Yi was confused: "Eleventh prince, what is colorful black?" ”

Xuan Yi looked at the night sky, but it was pitch black, and there was no starlight, and then he suddenly realized: "Sister-in-law Wang is making fun of you and me." ”

The two were embarrassed for a while, felt bored, and left with a wry smile.

Suddenly, Ji Qianning walked towards the study with two jars of wine, she suddenly stopped, attracted by a place, only to see the word Qinyuan written on the plaque, she walked in curiously, saw the scene in front of her, and secretly surprised in her heart: "I didn't expect the solemn Lingwang Mansion to be so fresh and elegant." ”

I saw a few cherry blossom branches and magnolia branches in the corner, all of which were covered with white walls and green tiles, and the buds that had just been exposed could be vaguely seen on the trees; Not far away is a piece of evergreen green bamboo, and the strange flowers and plants in the eye are all new; In the middle of the garden is a pavilion surrounded by flowers and trees, there is a big lantern hanging at each of the four corners above, a gust of wind passes, the white curtains are blown on all sides, from a distance, the three big characters of the seal body of the Fuxian Pavilion are resolutely engraved above.

Ji Qianning suddenly changed her mind, she called the guards who were keeping vigil not far away to invite Xuan Qi to come here, and then slowly walked into the pavilion, at this moment, she didn't feel pain in her body.

Lifting the curtain, only to see a guqin sleeping on the stone table, she walked over, put two jars of wine on the stone bench aside, reached out to touch the body of the piano, and gently plucked the strings with her fingers, a deep sound came into the ears, as if the sound of heaven, it was really a good piano.

However, she regretted in her heart: "Xuan Qi is really a tyrannical thing, such a precious qin, it was actually placed in the pavilion, and the night was heavy, so he was not afraid of getting wet?" ”

Just as she was sighing, Xuan Qi came behind her silently, holding a fox fur in his hand and preparing to drape it on her, the night of February, the cold was still very heavy.

As soon as Xuan Qi stretched out her hand, she was clamped by Ji Qianning, who quickly turned around, and when she saw the person clearly, she let go of her hand.

Xuan Qi rubbed his arm, smiled and draped the big on her: "Sure enough, it's not like before, the alertness is so good, I'm injured, and I shoot so hard." ”

Ji Qianning smiled embarrassedly, sat on the stone bench, and then expressed her dissatisfaction to him.

Xuan Qi leaned on the pillar, hugged his chest with both hands, and said with a smile after listening: "This piano is called Fuxian, it is a relic of my grandfather, it is made of special material, not afraid of wind and sun, and it can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon when placed here, which is very good." ”

Ji Qianning glanced at him angrily: "Huh." ”

Xuan Qi smiled even deeper: "Back then, my grandfather brought a Fuxian qin and moved Kyushu with a song "Emperor Death", and he was called 'Central Plains Sanqin Guest' with Daze's Menggu predecessors, and Ling Yue's predecessors in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, what an honor it was at that time. ”

Ji Qianning's fingers once again held the strings, and her heart suddenly sank, Aunt Meng was her master in Youlan Valley.

"As soon as "The Emperor's Death" came out, it shocked the world, and if you think about it, you will definitely get the true biography of your predecessors, but I don't see you playing the piano very often, but I never leave your hand."

After Xuan Qi listened, he untied the jade flute around his waist and took it in his hand to look at it: "Just because the sound of the flute is sobbing and desolate, it resonates with my soul when I was young, if Ning'er wants to listen, I will play a song for you, just for you." ”

Ji Qianning nodded happily, got up and pulled him to sit down, sat on the side by herself, and waited quietly for the piano to sound.

Suddenly, a deep timbre sounded, piercing the silent night, flowing clouds and water, and the aftermath was far away.

It is the "Heartless" chapter in "The Emperor's Death".

Ji Qianning watched Xuan Qi the whole time, she didn't look at it carefully in Jing that year, she didn't expect his expression when he played the piano to be so attractive, and at the end of the song, she was still immersed in it. After a long time, he said slowly: """Heartless" was so brilliant by you, if you think about it, it is on par with Old Man Chu. ”

"Huh? How do you know? Xuan Qi was puzzled.

Ji Qianning suddenly realized that he was speechless, afraid that he would ask, so he hurriedly picked up the wine on the side and said: "I looked for wine, have a good drink tonight, this is the Daze 'Qingsheng' that my uncle bought from a vendor after several inquiries a few days ago, compared to your Chiyan's 'Xunxian', it is less intense, try it." When he looked down, he realized that he didn't have a drinking vessel, "I forgot to take the wine glass, so I'll go get it." ”

Xuan Qi snatched the wine from her hand: "It's okay, just drink it directly." ”

Ji Qianning nodded, and then picked up another jar of wine: "Come, dry." ”

Xuan Qi snatched it up, a little displeased: "There are injuries on the body, how can you drink." ”

Ji Qianning was a little dissatisfied: "It's okay, just drink less." ”

"Nope."

"Then take a bite."

"Nope."

Ji Qianning sighed helplessly and muttered: "When I go here, I don't know when there will be a return date, I just say goodbye to you." ”

When Xuan Qi heard these words, he couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart, and he couldn't bear to see her like this, so he put the jar of wine in front of her eyes: "A few sips are fine." ”

Ji Qianning was instantly delighted, nodded happily, and then raised the wine jar: "Xuan Qi, His Royal Highness King Ling, I respect you and wish you a triumphant return." Her eyes were full of tenderness, as well as trust and expectation for the man in front of her.

Xuan Qi couldn't help but feel sad, sometimes he didn't need to say much, a look was enough.

After a while, the two jars of wine were empty, Xuan Qi was annoyed, and she didn't look at Ning'er, but she drank it all.

Ji Qianning looked at the empty wine jar for a long time, laughing with tears, for a long time, she almost forgot the taste of her hometown......

Will be drunk or not, the most able to provoke the heartstrings, Xuan Qi took out an object from his arms and put it in his hand, it turned out to be the previous half of the auspicious cloud jade pendant: "Yours is there?" He asked Ji Qianning, Ji Qianning smiled and took it out and put it in his hand, he looked at the two jade pendants and pondered for a long time, and laughed unconsciously.

"From today onwards, you and I will wear this jade every day, and when we see it, we will see each other." Suddenly, Xuan Qi held Ji Qianning's hand tightly, his tone was gentle, and his face was tender, "Wait for my return." ”

Ji Qianning nodded, smiling like a flower.

……

The Lingwang Mansion was peaceful, only the Fuxian Pavilion was seen, a woman in red and a man in ink, sitting alone until late at night.
