Chapter 111: A Blessing in Disguise
Chapter 111: A Blessing in Disguise
Although Leng Mo Xishuang and Xiao Liu went back a few days later than originally planned, Elder Qingwu didn't care at all. First, he felt that a few of them couldn't make a big deal, and second, he felt that those people in Tanyuan Hall were very eyesore, if they never came back, then he would have a big banquet for three days and three nights.
But as the great elder in charge, no matter how much he hated the few people in the Tan Yuan Hall in his heart, he had to do enough face work.
"How many of you are still having fun playing down the mountain?"
If it weren't for the fact that several of them knew Elder Qingwu's thoughts in their hearts, I am afraid that they would mistakenly think how much he cared about them!
"Thank you for the Great Elder's concern, our senior brothers and sisters have indeed appreciated the customs and customs under the mountain." Said coldly and lightly, although there was no expression on his face, he was still respectful, and Elder Qingwu didn't have to pick on it.
It's just that he suddenly moved his gaze to Xi Shuang's body. Leng Mo and Leng Liu greeted him just now, it seems that this cold frost is just following the salute, but he doesn't say a word, and he still wears a veil?! How can this be reasonable, isn't this not in his eyes?! How? After a trip down the mountain, the guts are fat?!
In fact, Elder Qingwu didn't know that none of the people in the Tanyuan Hall were timid and afraid, but they were just trying to hide people's eyes and ears and play well!
"Xiaoshuang, why don't you speak? Why are you still wearing a veil? ”
Elder Qingwu was slightly angry, and his beard was slightly upturned. Leng Mo hurriedly covered Xi Shuang behind him, stepped forward, clenched his fists, and said respectfully: "It was Leng Mo who didn't take good care of his junior sister, so that his junior sister was injured and hurt her throat, and she asked the great elder to condemn her." ”
"Oh?" Qingwu raised his eyebrows, looked at Leng Mo, and then looked at Xi Shuang, only to see that Xi Shuang was wearing a veil and his eyebrows were lowered, which really looked like he was injured. But he didn't care, he originally saw that this cold frost was quite clever, and he wanted to be included in his command, but there was no need for it now, anyway, there was no threat to the people in Tanyuan Palace.
However, he still pretended to have a relationship, and asked people to take medicine to Xi Shuang, "Since you are injured, take care of it, and send a medical girl to Tanyuan Hall to take a look later." ”
Leng Mo took the medicine for Xi Shuang, and the three of them thanked each other and then retreated. If they knew that Elder Qingwu gave up the idea of digging the foot of the wall because Xi Shuang had become mute, they would probably have to thank Fengxue.
However, Leng Mo didn't think that Qingwu would have any good intentions, it was just a weasel greeting the chicken. As soon as he returned to the Tanyuan Palace, he avoided Elder Qingwu's eyes and disposed of the bottle of medicine.
Xi Shuangben still felt that it was a pity, she still wanted to study Elder Qingwu's medicine! Compared with not having to study pharmacology, she is more afraid that her senior brother will be angry and cold!
As soon as they arrived at the Tanyuan Hall with their front feet, the medical woman came with their back feet.
Leng Mo and Xi Shuang looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that this Qingwu Elder was very wary of them, and he didn't seem to believe what they said. However, Xi Shuang also stretched out his hand generously and let the doctor take the pulse. This time, they didn't deceive Elder Qingwu, she was really dumb, the key is that this time she couldn't even figure out what kind of poison Qingzhong was, let alone treatment.
I saw that the doctor girl frowned, saying that the wound on her face could be cured, but it would inevitably leave a scar, but this throat was probably completely ruined.
Leng Mo's heart suddenly pinched, and Xi Shuang looked indifferent.
The doctor girl left, Xiaoliu yawned, stretched, and fell asleep as soon as he dipped his pillow in the house. In the past few days since his master disappeared, he has been unable to sleep well, so he has to make up for his sleep. And Xi Shuang pulled Leng Mo to the medicine room.
She pointed to the mat without objection, smiled silently, and had to sit down obediently.
Xi Shuang was busy rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to get the medicine, and Leng Mo leaned on the desk, smiling and looking at Xi Shuang's busy appearance, although his eyes were a little blurry, he could still see the slender figure clearly.
I saw Xi Shuang bending over, concentrating on grinding the medicine, and a trace of hair fell inadvertently. Leng Mo couldn't help but stepped forward and gently picked up her broken hair, and then Xi Shuang smiled sweetly at him. Leng Mo only felt that her flower-like smile was shining more and more brightly under the reflection of the setting sun. Maybe this is what the years look like! Leng Mo had the urge to hug her slender waist from behind, but in the end he held back.
Xi Shuang pointed to Leng Mo's shoulder, and Leng Mo consciously took off his shirt, revealing his sturdy body. Xi Shuang's face flushed slightly, but he still lowered his head and calmly administered medicine to him. And the cold eyes never moved away from her.
"Silence!! Cold Cream !! Cold Six !! ”
The quiet years of the pharmacy were suddenly broken by the hustle and bustle outside. Xiao Liu, who had just fallen asleep, sat up in shock.
"Don't be afraid." Leng Mo got dressed three or two times, put on a veil for Xi Shuang, and led her out.
"Senior Brother Sheng has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is going on today?" Leng Mo generally disdains to talk to Sheng Ming quickly, but now that he has Xi Shuang behind him, he can't let people look down on them and bully Shuang'er unscrupulously.
"Can't you come if you're fine?!" Sheng Ming was imposing, and he stretched out his hand to grab Xi Shuang behind Leng Mo, but was blocked by Leng Mo in time.
"What do you mean by that? I heard that my sister is injured, can't I care about it?! Sheng Ming was furious, glaring at Leng Mo with angry eyes, and Leng Mo was like a piece of cotton, unmoved.
It's just that Xi Shuang behind him took off his veil and stood in front of Leng Mo. And Sheng Ming saw the hideous wound on her face and retreated with a little disgust, and the little minions behind him also made a "huh" sound, but Xi Shuang didn't care, as long as he could get rid of this nasty Sheng Ming, what if he was disfigured?!
"Yo, isn't this our cold frost! Our little Miss Xi, not to mention losing her identity, her face is ruined! ”
Sheng Ming's sharp and mean female voice came from behind her, and the followers consciously gave way. Needless to say, everyone knows who it is, except for Lu Qiong, there is no second person. Her illness has been cured, and now she can come out to swagger, how can she feel happy to see Xi Shuang's disfigured appearance and throat with her own eyes! Besides, since that miss, she doesn't plan to repair the surface with Xi Shuang anymore, so she simply broke the jar and put it on the table, after all, she also knows that Xi Shuang is not a fool, she won't see through it, she is not the kind of person who eats a trench but does not grow wise.
Xi Shuang saw Lu Qiong and frowned slightly. She has always been reluctant to believe that Lu Qiong, who has been with her for so many years, is such a bitter person, but the facts are in front of her. To be honest, if it weren't for Lu Qiong, Xi Shuang wouldn't have known that Lu Qiong had always liked Brother Mu, let alone that the person in Brother Mu's heart was himself.
"To be honest, I'm not used to calling you Cold Frost! You say yes, Xi Shuang? But you're ruined by your little face! Tut-tut, I'm afraid I'm going to have a scar! Lu Qiong pinched Xi Shuang's chin tightly, and her sharp nails were embedded in Xi Shuang's chin, but Xi Shuang was silent. Leng Mo wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was pressed in place by a look from Xi Shuang.
"Xi Shuang, you have become so ugly, even if you appear in front of Mu Zixian this time, he is afraid that he will not like you! Hahaha-" Lu Qiong let go of her hand, using too much force, Xi Shuang was pushed to the ground by her.
Although Sheng Ming was a little reluctant to ruin Xi Shuang's face that had captivated the country and the city, but after thinking about it, she was disfigured and couldn't get married, so she might secretly climb into her bed at some point, which saved him all his effort.
The leaders all left, and those followers also glanced at Xi Shuang and Leng Mo, and walked away in disgust. The corners of Xishuang's mouth hooked a touch of arc, this is the first time she has tasted the feeling of being blinded! But so what, anyway, her goal has been achieved, presumably Sheng Ming will not have to have her in the future, and Lu Qiong will not want her to die. This time it was a blessing in disguise.
Leng Mo helped Xi Shuang up, his brows were tightly locked, others may not have cared, but Leng Mo heard it clearly, the amount of information in Lu Qiong's words was too much, plus what Feng Xue said when he left the country, it seems that Shuang'er still doesn't trust himself! has hidden so many things from herself, but she knows everything about him. Leng Mo suddenly felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
And Xi Shuang felt the cold air around Leng Mo's body, looking at his frowning brows, she suddenly felt a little weak, she smiled at Leng Mo, and secretly scolded Lu Qiong in her heart, how can she say everything outside?!! She also told her senior brother that she wouldn't hide it from each other, but now she concealed so many things from her senior brother, and she was known by her senior brother nine times out of ten, she couldn't eat and walked away! Xi Shuang complained bitterly in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be calm.
The senior brother walked in front in a low pressure, and Xi Shuang also followed behind with his head down, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: I have a hard time! opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound at all in his throat, so he could only obediently let his senior brother deal with it.
In the Imperial Palace, the most commonly used drama of harem intrigue was also staged.
Because Long Xuanjing was about to leave for the Dragon Kingdom in a few days, but the queen of the country saw that the marriage between this daughter and the prince of the Dragon Kingdom had not yet been decided, and she secretly scolded the emperor in her heart for not caring about it. In fact, there is nothing to do about leaving the emperor! But after leaving, she is not leaving the emperor, she always wants to focus on the overall situation, in her eyes, her children are more important than anything else. Under the soft grinding and hard bubble of Liyue, he held a practice banquet in the harem after leaving, which was actually not very in line with the etiquette, but the emperor knew that she was anxious about her daughter's marriage, so he also turned a blind eye and followed her.
Although Long Xuanjing didn't like this kind of occasion very much, he had no choice but to be in a high position, not only the prince of Longguo, but also the envoy of Longli and the two countries, so he had to respond to the invitation after leaving. It's just that no matter what he said after leaving, he didn't let go in the slightest, clearly saying "I don't want to take a concubine", and he was a little embarrassed after leaving, but some people couldn't understand Long Xuanjing's impatience at all, and they stuck to it with a shy face.
"Brother Jing, Yue'er learned a dance a few days ago, and I want to dedicate it to my father, thinking that Brother Jing's taste should be on par with my father, and I want to dance it for you." Liyue bit her red lip, "See if you like it." ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess's 'respect for brother', this palace can't afford it. Besides, I don't dare to compare my taste with Emperor Li, and I don't know much about dancing. ”
Long Xuanjing didn't think about it, and directly rejected her request, Li Yue's face was embarrassed, and finally the queen put down her body and played a round.
"Yue'er is also dedicated to pleasing her father, and she wants the palace to give her guidance all day long, but the palace is not a man, and I don't know if the emperor likes it, so I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a little guidance." After leaving, she forcibly held back the anger in her eyes, after all, she still needed the prince of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Thank you for your love after leaving, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Long Xuanjing was patient and helpless, for the sake of friendship between the two countries, he couldn't offend the emperor, and he couldn't offend the emperor either.
After a dance, Liyue looked at Long Xuanjing with a crimson face, and Long Xuanjing just said expressionlessly: "Her Royal Highness the princess, this dance is very good, and the palace believes that the emperor will like it." In fact, he didn't see Liyue dancing much just now, and there was only one thought in his mind: I don't know how Shuang'er danced? He hadn't seen her dancing yet!
Long Xuanjing glanced at Qiao Wei, only to see that there was something wrong with his eyes, as if he was recalling something, and followed his line of sight to see the woman in green who had just stroked the qin.
"The sound of the piano just now is very beautiful, I don't know what it is?" Long Xuanjing felt that the woman was a little familiar, but he couldn't name her name for a while.
"Oh, that's from Lining, Concubine Qi. Ning'er, why don't you come to meet the prince of the Dragon Kingdom? After leaving, he glanced at Lining, his tone was cold, Lining quickly lowered his head, and snorted coldly in his heart after leaving, "The same cheap bones that seduce men as her mother." ”
"Lining, see His Royal Highness the Prince."
"No courtesy." Long Xuan raised his hand in respect, only to see that this Li Ning secretly glanced at Qiao Wei, and Qiao Wei's eyes had not left Li Ning since the beginning of that song. The corners of Long Xuanjing's mouth hooked up a faint smile, it seems that these two people have a story!
Long Xuanjing had a plan.
"Can the princess look up and let the palace take a good look?" Long Xuanjing saw that the face of Li Yue standing on the side was distorted, and he smiled secretly in his heart. There is no way, if he wants to have a lover and finally become a family, he can only use some means.
"Well, the princess who left the country is really unusual!" Long Xuanjing deliberately looked appreciative, and Li Yue was already itching angrily, and he couldn't bear it at all. After leaving, she also frowned, this mother robbed a man with herself, and even the daughter she gave birth to had to rob a man with her daughter, what a fox!
Sure enough, without a stick of incense, Li Ning and Li Yue left the table with their front and back feet. Long Xuanjing raised his eyebrows and took a sip of wine, it seemed that a good show was about to be staged.
Not long after, a palace maid and eunuch hurried over, saying that the eldest princess had fallen into the water.
As soon as they heard this, everyone stepped forward to check, Qiao Wei even used light skills, while Long Xuanjing followed behind and slowly walked towards the falling point.
I saw that Li Ning was fluttering in the water vigorously, and he had choked several mouthfuls of water, and Li Yue sent someone to find some five big and three thick guards, and just when the guards wanted to jump down and left Ning, a figure leaned down like an eagle, picked up Li Ning, swirled the water vortex, and jumped out of the water.
Long Xuanjing smiled, now he can justifiably help Qiao Wei get his sweetheart.
The news that the princess was rescued by the personal guards of the prince of the Dragon Kingdom also spread throughout the palace, and Lijing was also looked down upon in the palace because of this, and even her mother was implicated. Emperor Li was helpless, it was impossible to marry the prince of the Dragon Kingdom with his eldest daughter, so he had to marry Li Ning Xu to Qiao Wei, he didn't even want to see Li Jing, and directly promised Long Xuanjing to let Li Jing follow her husband back to the Dragon Kingdom, and even Li Ning's mother was abandoned by him to the Dragon Kingdom.
And after getting the news, Li Ning and her mother were not sad but happy, but they had long wanted to leave the backyard of this deep palace. And Qiao Wei was also very happy, and excitedly sent Long Xuanjing to kneel. They didn't expect that this fall into the water was all their minds. They are a blessing in disguise!
