Chapter 18: Heartbreak
Xia Nanxuan was speechless for a while when he heard this, the man he saved before was indeed not Yan Shi.
Although he had not looked closely at the man's face, it must have been a strange face, and it was really strange that he had poisoned himself and then inexplicably rushed up to catch him. Although he knew that Yan Shi in front of him probably knew who that person was, since he flatly denied it, it would be impossible for him to learn the truth from him.
Xia Nanxuan didn't continue to argue on this issue, he turned to say: "Doesn't Prince An think that Zhu Qingshan, the general of Cangya Country, supported Cang Yuhao to ascend the throne in order to control Cangya Kingdom?" This king has news here, and he must be very interested in coming to Prince An. ”
Seeing that Yan Shi raised his eyebrows and acquiesced to him continuing, although Xia Nanxuan was still expressionless, he said confidently in his voice: "This time, the Cangya Kingdom sent troops to attack the geese, and it was actually led by Zhu Qingshan. In other words, Cang Yuhao, the new emperor of Cangya, is completely Zhu Qingshan's puppet! Zhu Qingshan is extremely ambitious, did Prince An naively think that he would let go of Luoyan Kingdom? ”
Yan Shi's face changed: "How did King Xuan learn such secret news?" ”
"I'm not afraid to tell Lord An that in order to pass back this news, the spies we planted in the palace of Cangya Country are seven or eight out of ten."
What he said was not incorrect, and it also made Yanli suddenly realize that she had been ignoring one person before, Zhu Qingshan. Just like Xia Nanxuan said, since Zhu Qingshan, the general of the Zhenguo State of Cangya Country, dared to move the mind of coercing the Wild Goose Kingdom to attack the Xia Kingdom as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, how could such a person let the Falling Wild Goose Kingdom live that paradise life?
Once a country has tasted the sweetness of war, it will never stop its aggression!
Seeing that Yan Shi didn't speak, Xia Nanxuan knew that he had been moved by what he said, so he didn't worry and just looked at him and said sincerely: "Lord An, you are Ah Luo's royal brother, and this king has no intention of deceiving you." This king has informed His Majesty of this matter today, and I believe that as long as His Majesty is given some time, he will definitely make the right choice. ”
"Okay, then the king and Ali will leave tonight." Yan Shi looked at Xia Nanxuan for a while, nodded, he grabbed Yan Li's wrist and led her to turn around, and Yan Li looked back at Xia Nanxuan, his figure standing under the moonlight was like the first time she saw him standing in the cold spring that night, as bright as the moon, cold and lonely.
"Ah Li, do you want to recognize him?" On the way to send Yan Li back to the dormitory, Yan Shi was silent, but Yan Shi couldn't help but take the lead in asking, he was nervous, and even had an intuition that if she and Xia Nanxuan recognized each other, I was afraid that she would really go away from him.
"What do you recognize?" Yanli lowered her eyes and seemed to chuckle, "An An has already died in the fire six years ago, and I am just Yanli now." ”
If he really had a heart, he would have recognized me. If not, what's the point of recognizing? And now he has a beloved!
The hanging heart seemed to have finally come to fruition, and Yan Shi let out a long breath, only to realize that his clothes behind his back were soaked with cold sweat. When he saw Yan Li get up and go with Xia Nanxuan in the banquet just now, God knows how undecided his heart was, and he even directly pushed away the son of the Taiwei who was about to toast him, got up and chased after him directly.
When he heard her ask Xia Nanxuan if he liked Ah Luo, he tightened his heart again, for fear that Xia Nanxuan would say something else, but when he saw that Xia Nanxuan misunderstood her, he felt a little lucky, Xia Nanxuan really didn't recognize her at all!
With Ah Li's temperament, after knowing that he and Ah Luo are in love, I am afraid that I will never take the initiative to tell him. He felt that he was very bad to think like this, but on the other hand, he felt very relieved.
Yan Shi looked at Yan Li's silhouette and regained a gentle expression, he put his hand on her head and gently stroked her hair: "Ah Li, if you don't want to recognize each other, don't ask for hardship." ”
Yan Li didn't know that Yan Shi's mind had turned back and forth, only when he saw that he had different thoughts about Xia Nanxuan, and saw that the Fourth Emperor Sister and Xia Nanxuan were in love, and he was afraid that he would be hurt.
She raised her eyes sideways to look at him, those bright black eyes were a little sad at this time, she nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, Ah Li knows." ”
Early the next morning, Yanli got up.
Thinking that she might see Xia Nanxuan today, she looked at herself who was slightly haggard in the mirror, and slowly put down her hand that wanted to roll her hair in a bun at will.
"Cailan." Yanli called.
"Princess!" Cailan walked over and wondered, "What are your orders?" ”
"Comb the palace with a hanging mustache and divide the bun."
Cailan's small mouth opened slightly, looking surprised. This bun is actually not complicated, just divide the hair into strands, knot it at the top, do not need to hold it, so that it hangs down naturally, and tie the tail and hang it on the shoulder.
But Yanli has always only curled her hair at will, and it is a little strange to be like this today.
Cai Lan saw that Yanli didn't mean to explain, so she didn't ask much, and her skillful hands quickly gave Yanli a good hair. Yan Li took a closer look at herself in the bronze mirror, and said, "Just apply some more fat powder." ”
Cailan was even more sure that Princess Li had an important person to meet today, so she gently pulled her sleeves up, and said with a smile: "The princess has excellent skin and doesn't need any fat powder, just draw an eyebrow, and use rouge to add some complexion, okay?" ”
Yan Li thought about it, and she didn't seem to have much experience before, so she nodded. After a while, I looked at myself in the bronze mirror again, and I was really much more beautiful and lovely than before.
Yanli smiled, got up and was about to go out but was stopped by Cailan.
Seeing Yan Li's puzzled expression, Cai Lan smiled helplessly: "My good princess, you are dressed up like this, don't you plan to wear this out?" ”
Yanli bowed her head, she was wearing a plain palace dress at this time, if it wasn't a skirt, it might really make people think of it as men's clothing! On weekdays, she didn't feel anything wrong with dressing like this, but as soon as Cailan said it, the long dress of Yan Xingluo at last night's banquet suddenly appeared in her mind, and she suddenly realized that she had neglected to dress up for too long.
Yan Li retreated into the room, but looked at the many almost identical plain dresses in the closet and frowned helplessly: "Then you can pick one." ”
It was the time to get up, but it was already early when the wild goose glass went out. On weekdays, she neglects to dress up, and suddenly dresses up like this, Yanli is really a little uncomfortable, and she always feels that those palace maids secretly look at her with a little strangeness.
Halfway through the journey, Yan Li saw Xia Nanxuan walking over with Yan Xingluo.
Yan Xingluo was wearing a lilac dress today, the milky white belt tied the plump waist and was even more slender, her soft face was smiling, as if she was whispering something, although Xia Nanxuan's face was as cold as usual, but he leaned over to listen to her, and his eyes showed a rare tenderness in the morning light.
Yanli suddenly felt that her steps were like lead, and she couldn't take a step anymore. Yan Xingluo seemed to have seen her too, and she came with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she got closer, she saw clearly, and her eyes were a little surprised.
"Sixth Imperial Sister, it's the first time I've seen you like this!" Yan Xingluo said with a smile.
Xia Nanxuan naturally saw Yan Li, he looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, only to feel that she was indeed a little more gorgeous than last night, but that's all, where can it be compared with Yan Xingluo's beauty?
Besides, he still remembered that she always secretly sent him Qiu Bo at the banquet last night, and later followed him to ask him if he really liked Yan Xingluo, so it was really difficult to have any good feelings for her.
"Six Princesses." Xia Nanxuan nodded to Yanli and then looked away casually.
"King Xuan." Yanli smiled reluctantly, how could she not see the trace of disdain in Xia Nanxuan's eyes.
Yan Xingluo suddenly couldn't wait to speak: "Imperial sister, you don't know yet, this morning my father personally announced that he promised me to marry King Xuan!" ”
"Promise me to marry King Xuan!"
"Promise me to marry King Xuan!"
This sentence was like an echo in Yanli's mind, one after another, making her brain go blank.
Yan Xingluo's face was as bright as a peach blossom, and Xia Nanxuan, who was standing beside her, was lonely and cold, and the two looked like an indescribable match.
Are they going to get married after all?
Himself, all these years, what is it in Xia Nanxuan's heart?
The cold wind blew, and Yanli only felt that the blood in her whole body was slowly cooling, cold, so cold......
She finally lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "Then congratulations to the imperial sister and King Xuan." ”
At noon that day, Xia Nanxuan left for Qixia Kingdom to bring the news of this harmony.
As the night deepened, Yan Li tossed and turned, and stroked his shoulder with his slender hand, where the wound stabbed by Xia Nanxuan's long sword was healed, but it also left a faint scar. That night in the cold spring, although he was full of lust, but she was awake abnormally, his every movement flashed in her mind one by one like a marquee at this time, and the last thing that stayed in the memory was his cold face under the night and the black eyes looking at her, although those eyes could not be seen, but the emotions could be seen clearly.
There is shock, there is chagrin, there is apology, but there is no longer the gentleness of the past.
There was some pain in her heart, Yanli got up and opened the door, the night was as cold as water, the moonlight sprinkled on the steps in front of the door was a little light white, it was a quiet and beautiful scene, but there was some indescribable irritability in her eyes.
Raising her foot and slamming on the ground, she flew up and went directly to the eaves, the guards in the palace she was not worried, even if she was discovered, it was nothing more than a few reprimands, she jumped from the eaves of this palace to the next one as much as she wanted, the night sprinkled on her body, the cold wind blew, as if the irritability in her heart was also blown away.
In the palace of Qixia Kingdom, the concubine's bedroom was burned down in a sudden fire, and she was taken away by the secret guards of the Luoyan Kingdom, but her mother disappeared from this world forever.
The fire came suddenly, Yan Keguang's secret guard buried in the palace of Qixia Kingdom had to act in advance, and a little palace maid about the same age as herself happened to be there, she was pushed into the fire and thus replaced herself, all as if there were a pair of hands pushing in the dark.
