Chapter 21: The Conspiracy Behind the Wedding Feast
But all this wind and thunder can be seen in full view, stepping on the iron shoes and nowhere to find, it takes no effort to get it, this time he will not show mercy.
Suddenly, Xi Jue pushed Xi Shuang with his elbow, covering his stomach, his face was in a cold sweat, and his voice trembled a little, "Shuangshuang, I...... I'm going to solve ...... Excuse me, don't run around. As soon as the words fell, Xi Jue ran towards the thatched house like a smoke. Xi Shuang didn't have time to care about him, so he had to smile and bury his head in fighting with food.
"Miss Xi." Suddenly, a gentle female voice floated above Xi Shuang's head.
"Huh?" Xi Shuang quickly wiped his mouth, sat upright, and behaved calmly, only to see a plain-looking palace maid bow her head slightly, and said softly in her ear: "Young Master Xi asked you to go to Fengming Lake to find him, and he also specially told not to tell others, go alone." Xi Shuang was slightly stunned, a smile like a flower bloomed on his face, he dared to love Xi Jue who was pretending just now, and the acting was too similar! In fact, Xi Shuang had long been tired of the wedding banquet and had long wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't find a suitable excuse, but Xi Jue helped her. Xi Shuang didn't think about the details, and ran towards Fengming Pond stupidly.
To say that this time, Feng Lei really put a lot of effort into it. He bought off several fathers-in-law and palace maids in the palace early, and inquired about the wind and frost, although most people in Fengguo said that Xi Shuang was the biological daughter of Master Xi, but with that face that was exactly the same as Feng Xue, it was difficult for Xi Shuang not to be recognized! He also specially added some ingredients to Xi Jue's meal, Xi Jue, but his stepping stone.
......
Xi Shuang trotted to the shore of Fengming Lake, and vaguely saw a back figure in the Huxin Pavilion, but he didn't see it very really, so he shouted "Brother Jue!! "I quickened the speed of the soles of my feet. The corners of the man's mouth in the Huxin Pavilion hooked up an evil smile, and sure enough, the name Xi Jue could make her take the bait.
It's just that when Xi Shuang was about to approach the Huxin Pavilion, he noticed something unusual, Xi Jue was not so tall, and Xi Jue's clothes today have always been bright and eye-catching. A trace of uneasiness flashed in Xi Shuang's heart, thirty-six plans to go up, but she just wanted to go back, and suddenly two black shadows appeared from the side, one left and one right, and lifted her up and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion, no matter how much she struggled, it was in vain, and the two people just clamped her up and couldn't move.
"Elder." The man in front of him turned around slowly, and the man in black pressed Xi Shuang's shoulders to force her to kneel, his movements were rough, Xi Shuang gasped in pain, but he held back his tears, raised his head and glared at the man in front of him fiercely, he was simply dressed like a beast. Feng Lei saw that there was no trace of timidity in her eyes, but they were full of tenacity and unyielding, and he was even more determined to get rid of her.
"Yo~ Young Master of Wind and Frost, I haven't seen you for a long time, come on, come on, don't kneel, I can't stand it!" Feng Lei was about to help her, Xi Shuangyi slapped Feng Lei's hand away, stood up by himself, and took a step back.
"I have a temper." Feng Lei snorted coldly, took a step closer to Xi Shuang, and pinched her chin at once, "It does look exactly like that Feng Xue, but one young master of the Wind Clan is enough." Wind and thunder pinched her chin and lifted her up in the air.
Xi Shuang's heart was horrified, but on the surface, she pretended to be strong and fearless, she happened to not have the Zixia Sword with her today, she stared at the wind and thunder deadly, her eyes were like knives, and she wanted to cut the wind and thunder with a thousand knives.
"Today is your death date, you were lucky to survive back then, and today will not be so lucky." Feng Lei suddenly laughed, and threw Xi Shuang into the Fengming Pond, "Clothed beasts!! I ......" Before Xi Shuang finished speaking, a mouthful of lake water poured in, Xi Shuang quickly closed her mouth, she hadn't learned to swim yet!
"Your father and mother only need one daughter, and you are too much-red-!! Hahaha~" Seeing that Xishuang was silent, Feng Lei waved his sleeves and left satisfied.
Xi Shuang vaguely heard the wild laughter of the wind and thunder on the water, and the words that pierced her heart like a sharp sword. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a mocking smile, she was born superfluous! Is it not enough to be gone, even to die? That's what her parents are! Xi Shuang seemed to see the joy of Xi's father and Xi's mother when they saw her, as if she saw the scene of Sister Yue teaching her to make dumplings in the kitchen, as if she saw the scene of Brother Jue and her fighting with each other, and saw Brother Mu concentrating on studying medical skills, as well as the white-clothed Shengxue, I don't know what happened to Jing Xuan? But now she is a mud bodhisattva, and it is difficult to protect herself. Xi Shuang's eyes became more and more blurry, and she gradually lost consciousness, she felt herself slowly sinking, did she really want to say goodbye to this world?
At this moment, a pair of warm and familiar hands lifted her up from the water, but the lack of oxygen under the water for a long time and the cold of early spring made Xi Shuang faint, but Xi Shuang knew that the embrace was reliable.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you alright?" Long Xuanjing's personal guard Qiao Wei looked at Long Xuanjing's whole body and was a little worried, that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wet his hem and contracted the wind cold, this time ...... Qiao Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore, he didn't want to move his head.
Long Xuanjing didn't seem to hear it, wiped the water on Xi's face, her eyelashes stained with water beads were like butterfly wings, trembling slightly, is it cold? Long Xuanjing hugged Xi Shuang tighter, didn't look at Qiao Wei, got up and walked towards the Harmony Hall.
"Your Highness! I'll do it anyway! Qiao Wei said that he was about to step forward and take Xi Shuang over, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was frightened by Long Xuanjing's cold and cruel eyes. To be honest, in the deep palace for more than ten years, Qiao Wei has never seen Long Xuanjing so attentive to anyone, but to be honest, the little powder ball in Long Xuanjing's arms is indeed cute.
Along the way, Long Xuanjing couldn't care about his clothes dripping all the way, let alone the cold wind, he only knew that if he didn't seek medical attention quickly, the little powder ball in his arms would probably lose his life. Long Xuanjing couldn't help but look down at Xi Shuang, only to see that Xi Shuang's eyes were closed, his lips were white, and he kept trembling, as soft as a puddle of water. Long Xuanjing's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he sped up and ran towards the Harmony Hall.
As soon as they entered the door, before the palace maids had time to say hello, they were frightened by Long Xuanjing's sword-like gaze, and they knelt down one by one, "Don't pass the imperial doctor yet!! Long Xuanjing's voice could not hear other emotions except coldness, and the palace maids glanced at the dying girl in Long Xuanjing's arms, had an epiphany, and went to the imperial doctor one by one. Long Xuanmo's face was dripping with water, no one could tell whether it was lake water or tears, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the discomfort of his body, gritted his teeth and gently put Xi Shuang on his bed, moving gently, for fear of hurting her.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let them change this young lady into clean clothes! Just in time you went to change your clothes. Qiao Wei asked tentatively, this time Long Xuanjing agreed, frowned, and turned around and left after a few more words.
In less than a moment, Long Xuanjing changed into an ink robe and walked in again, still with a cold face, silent, staring at the pale little face, his heart throbbed for a while, leaned down and touched Xi Shuang's forehead with the back of his hand, it was amazingly hot, his anger was mixed with full care and burning, "What about the imperial doctor?!! Although his voice had been restrained, it still startled the palace maid who followed behind, and fell to her knees again.
"See ......" The imperial doctor entered the door and saw a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs kneeling, trembling and kneeling down with the medicine box, his voice trembled, and before he finished greeting him, Long Xuanjing raised his hand impatiently, and the imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check Xi Shuang's pulse, and Long Xuanjing focused on Xi Shuang's body the whole time, and never left for a moment. Being stared at by Long Xuanjing like this, fine cold sweat broke out on the imperial doctor's forehead. The Imperial Medical Department used to be most afraid of seeing a doctor for the crown prince Feng Huanyu, his eyes were so cold that he was about to freeze people, and then he was most afraid of seeing a doctor for Xi Jue, the eldest young master, and Long Xuanjing, the prince of the Dragon Kingdom. The imperial doctor sighed silently in his heart, these days, it is not easy to be an imperial doctor! Why is it his turn to be on an errand today? I would have asked for a leave of absence if I knew it, great ancestor, I can't afford to provoke it!
"Your Royal Highness, Miss has been suffocating in the water for a long time, her pulse is weak, and because she has suffered from the wind and cold, she needs to rest in bed these days, and the minister will prescribe a few pairs of medicines, take them on time, and she will be able to wake up in a short time." Although the imperial doctor was frightened by Long Xuanjing's legs and feet, as a doctor, the patient is the biggest, he is still calm and comfortable, and meticulously writes the prescription to catch the medicine.
At the wedding banquet, after Xi Jue returned to her position, she found that Xi Shuang was gone, and at first she thought she was going to the toilet, but she waited left and right, and the wedding banquet was almost over and there was still no one. Xi Jue's heart was faintly uneasy, and he found a reason to prevaricate, so he got up in a hurry to find Xi Shuang, but almost all the entire palace was gone, and Xi Shuang's figure was nowhere to be seen. Xi Jue's heart seemed to be pressed against a big stone, making him breathless. He returned to the wedding banquet with a sad face, and the guests were almost gone, leaving only Xi's father and mother and the emperor and queen chatting with each other. Although Xi Jue was in a hurry to find Xi Shuang, he knew that he couldn't disturb the holy car before the matter was decided, not to mention, today was the big day of his sister and brother-in-law, and this matter would make the emperor a little jealous of his sister. Xi Jue had no choice but to be patient, calmly greeted him, and whispered to Xi's father. Father Xi's face darkened suddenly, but he immediately regained his composure, and people couldn't notice the change. He calmly took Xi Mu and Xi Shuang to leave, and the emperor and queen were a little drunk, not noticing their strangeness.
Father Xi and Feng Huanyu sent several people to quietly go out to find Xi Shuang, but they all knew that the matter was not to be made public. In the main hall, Xi Yue comforted Xi's mother softly, while Feng Huanyu and Xi's father sent wave after wave of people out to find Xi Shuang with a serious face. And Xi Jue couldn't sit still, so he insisted on going out to find Xi Shuang, but he couldn't pull it, so he had to go with him.
"Shuangshuang, where are you !!" Xi Jue yelled at the night, and tears dripped down uncontrollably. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but Xi Shuang is gone, and Xi Shuang is probably the weakness of his life!
Xi Jue walked in despair, and unconsciously walked to the shore of Fengming Lake, although the traces of water could be faintly seen on the shore, but most of the water marks were dried by the cold wind, Xi Jue's heart jumped suddenly, Xi Shuang should not fall into the water, right? ! No, no, Xi Jue shook his head vigorously, shaking off the idea that Xi Shuang had an accident. She must have lost track of where she went. But he still lay down and looked hard, but the moon was dark and the wind was high and he couldn't see what was going on underwater.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the personal guard of the Prince of the Dragon Kingdom asks to see you!" The little eunuch hurriedly ran in, and when he saw this lifeless atmosphere, he quickly lowered his head.
"Let him in." Feng Huanyu was a little puzzled, isn't this prince of the Dragon Kingdom sick in bed! What did his guards do to him?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Fengguo, Miss Xi has fallen into the water, the imperial doctor has already consulted in the Harmony Palace, there is no major problem for the time being, it has been rested, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take care of Miss Xi, please rest assured that you and the Crown Princess and Mrs. Xi will rest assured." Qiao Wei bowed respectfully and withdrew. It's really late tonight, and Long Xuanjing doesn't want anyone to disturb the peace of the night, this remark, everyone sitting in the main hall understands, although they can't put down Xi Shuang in their hearts, but there will be no problem with the prince of the Dragon Kingdom in the Muhe Palace, everyone is like taking a reassuring pill.
Xi Mu pushed Xi Yue and looked at Feng Huanyu meaningfully, "Go back quickly and enjoy your candle night in the cave room." Two clusters of red glow flew on Xi Yue's face, and Feng Huanyu nodded, hugged Xi Yue's waist, and went back to the dormitory to enjoy the flowers and candles in the cave room.
And Xi Jue, who was secretly sad by the lake, also received the news, and rushed to the Harmony Hall without saying a word, Qiao Wei couldn't persuade him, so he had to go with him, after all, he was his own brother!
Hall of Harmony.
Long Xuanjing sat on the edge of Xi Shuang's bed, held Xi Shuang's hand tightly, and helped her change the cold towel on her forehead every once in a while. Xi Shuang's eyelashes trembled slightly, twitching from time to time, Long Xuanjing gently rubbed Xi Shuang's hair with his fingertips, trying to comfort her, and sure enough, Xi Shuang regained his calm as if he had gained a sense of security.
"Your Highness, this bowl is Miss Xi's medicine, this bowl is your medicine, you see ......"
"I see, I'll feed her myself!" Long Xuanjing frowned, picked up his bowl of medicine and drank it in one go, without a trace of friction, he knew that only if he didn't fall down, could he take care of Xi Shuang.
"Shuangshuang, drink the medicine." Long Xuanjing didn't know if Xi Shuang could hear it, but he still talked to her, as if Xi Shuang was awake. He gently helped Xi Shuang up, sat at the head of the bed, supported Xi Shuang with one hand, let her lean on himself, and held a jade spoon in the other hand, clumsily feeding her medicine, this is the first time he has grown so big, and he is a little apprehensive in his heart. However, Xi Shuang was in a coma, and only drank one point of ten points of medicine, and everything else flowed out. Long Xuanjing was so anxious for the first time, and looked at Qiao Wei beside him for help, Qiao Wei had never fed anyone medicine, so he had to comfort Long Xuanjing, saying that people in a coma drink medicine like this, and it would be good to drink it for a minute, so Long Xuanjing relieved his heart.
At this time, Xi Jue rushed in, Qiao Wei wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't expect to let him find him.
"Double !!" Seeing that Long Xuanjing was hugging Xi Shuang, he was angry, and his eyes couldn't wait to rip Long Xuanjing's blood, "You, you!" Let go of Shuangshuang!! Xi Jue rushed forward, eager to rush up and snatch Xi Shuang back, but before he could get close, he was stopped by Qiao Wei, how could Xi Jue's small body be Qiao Wei's opponent. He was trying to make a loophole, but Qiao Wei blocked him from being airtight.
Long Xuanjing fed the medicine, gently wiped the corners of Xi Shuang's mouth with a handkerchief, glared at Xi Jue fiercely, and said coldly: "Shuangshuang needs to be quiet, Qiao Wei, take him down to rest." Long Xuanmo's tone could not be refuted.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Qiao Wei dragged Xi Jue down, Xi Jue's jaw dropped in shock, His Royal Highness the Prince? Jing Xuan is the prince of the Dragon Kingdom?!
Finally quiet, Long Xuanjing took a long breath, and when he looked at Xi Shuang, his eyes were so gentle that he could rub out water, and the soft touch couldn't help but leave an understatement kiss on Xi Shuang's face.
Long Xuanjing sat on the edge of Xi Shuang's bed all night, holding Xi Shuang's hand tightly, but he didn't know that the kiss made him out of control from then on......
