Chapter 129 "The Forbidden Palace"
Ever since the Emperor decreed that the Twin Holy Gates would assist in defending the city. After that, the Twin Holy Gates recaptured three cities in a row without the trust of everyone in the court. The speed of the means is staggering. The actions of the Double Holy Gate not only impressed outsiders, but also included Xiao Xinyi and the disciples in the sect.
At this time, they realized that the disciples on the two mountains of Ling Feng and Rin Feng were only for the world to see, and the real strength of the Double Holy Gate had always been not them, but those people hidden in various cities and counties. Including the owners of the more than 2,000 tablets in the Hall of Long Resignation, almost half of them are still alive in the world. If war had not broken out, these people would not have been known for the rest of their lives.
The Falling Moon Army also seemed to have reacted, and no longer rushed to attack the city, but sent troops back to defend the city they had captured.
Time passed rapidly in the confrontation between the two armies, until it was close to the end of the year, and the Falling Moon Army never captured a single city, and the Twin Holy Gates never recaptured a single city.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Su Ren couldn't rest assured that Su Yuexian couldn't leave him, so he took the time to go back to the Shuangsheng Gate, and when he returned, he brought Xiao Xinyi a letter, which Su Yuexian wrote to her. Looking at the long-lost Juanxiu small characters, Xiao Xinyi was like a world away. In the end, she still didn't hold back the thoughts in her heart, and asked Su Ren to allow her to go back to the Shuangsheng Gate, Su Ren looked at her nervous look and said, "Even if you don't come to me, I was going to go to you and let you go back, Xian'er misses you very much." Besides, the hundreds of moon-falling troops outside Jianhe County are not enough to trouble, you can prepare to leave in the next two days, and come back after the New Year, and accompany her more for me. ”
So Xiao Xinyi left a letter to Zhuge Qinghong by the couch. took Qin Youyou back to the Double Holy Gate. Since she fell in love with Zhuge Qinghong with a kiss, even if she lived in Jianhe County, Zhuge Qinghong still came to see her often as if she was in a no-man's land. It's just that the time is uncertain, sometimes three or five days, sometimes one or two days, Xiao Xinyi never asks him what he is busy with, nor does he ask him when he will come next time, as if there has never been any siege and defense between the two, just an ordinary woman waiting for the return of her hiking lover, and the topic of the two is limited to the fun stories of their childhood, and the war and position of the outside world have nothing to do with them.
When Xiao Xinyi rushed back to Ling Feng, it was already the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, she went up the mountain and headed straight towards the Lingkong Palace, she hadn't seen her master for three months, Xiao Xinyi was even more worried about his body. But when she arrived, she found that Sima Zhengqing, who barely went outside except for the Lingkong Palace, was not in the palace. Even Zhu Yan, who had always served by his side, was not there, Xiao Xinyi suddenly panicked, and after stabilizing his mind, he strode towards the 'Shangshui Pavilion'.
In the 'Sheung Shui Pavilion', Zhong Yuan was holding a small swaddling baby in his arms. Xiao Xinyi's flustered mind suddenly settled down the moment she saw Zhong Yuan, her senior brother, who had always been as cold as an immortal, was looking at the villain in her arms with a gentle and doting face at this time. Like all fathers in the world, with the joy and pride of being a first-time father.
As if sensing that someone was watching him, Zhong Yuan raised his head and saw Xiao Xinyi who was staying in the courtyard. Then he turned his head to Su Yuexian, who was lying on the couch, and said, "Senior sister is back." ”
"Let her in."
Xiao Xinyi heard Su Yuexian's surprised voice from the room, and walked in quickly. There was a stove in the house, Xiao Xinyi stood by the stove and went to the cold on her body before she dared to walk towards Su Yuexian who was lying on the couch, at this time she also had a small swaddling baby in her arms, the baby in the swaddling clothes was red and wrinkled, a small one seemed to be a big mouse that had shed its skin, Xiao Xinyi was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Su Yuexian and asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong with him, why..."
She didn't say anything in the back words, why did it seem like she had taken off a layer of skin.
Su Yuexian looked at her face and said with a dumb smile: "My body is not angry, I was born prematurely for more than a month, which is smaller than ordinary babies, but newborn children are like this, and it will look good when they grow up in a few months." ”
Xiao Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, but still had some doubts, could such a wrinkled baby really grow into a little doll carved in pink in a few months?
Su Yuexian looked at her and was still stunned and smiled: "Come over and let Senior Sister take a look at you." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Xinyi sat cautiously on the edge of Su Yuexian's couch, for fear of alarming the villain who was closing his eyes and recuperating. Su Yuexian didn't feel funny when she saw her helpless appearance, and took her hand and said, "I've lost a few points in the past few months since I went out, and I must have suffered a lot outside." ”
"Senior sister, I didn't suffer, my uncle took good care of me." When talking about his uncle, Xiao Xinyi paid attention to Su Yuexian's expression, and was relieved to see that she had no mood swings. Thinking about it, she should have completely accepted the fact that Su Ren was still alive.
At this time, Xiao Xinyi found that Su Yuexian's face was a lot rounder and ruddy, and this discovery made her very happy. As if she suddenly remembered something, she took out a brocade box from her arms and handed it to Su Yuexian, saying, "This is a congratulatory gift from Zhuge Qinghong and I to you." ”
Su Yuexian didn't reach out to take the brocade box, but her eyes suddenly lit up: "You and Zhuge Gongzi sent it?" ”
Xiao Xinyi's face was slightly red, and he nodded lightly.
Su Yuexian struggled to sit up, but Xiao Xinyi hurriedly held her down and said, "Senior sister, you haven't given birth to a full moon, don't act rashly." ”
Saying that, he opened the brocade box and took out the two longevity locks inside, not only Su Yuexian, but even Xiao Xinyi was amazed when he first saw this pair of longevity locks, this is a congratulatory gift that Zhuge Qinghong asked her to bring to Zhong Yuan, when he stuffed the brocade box into Xiao Xinyi's arms and specially explained, he must say that it was given by the two of them together.
Hibiscus stone is like the color of the smoke and haze in the spring of March, and the longevity of the 100-year-old auspicious pattern is beautifully carved and smart, such as the dew of the early morning falling on the scorching peach petals, which is moist and beautiful.
"It's beautiful." Su Yuexian praised from the bottom of her heart.
"It was chosen by Zhuge Qinghong." Xiao Xinyi replied with some embarrassment.
"Zhuge Gongzi's vision has always been very good." Su Yuexian's eyes rolled and she smiled, and Xiao Xinyi's face turned even redder when she saw it.
While the two were talking, Zhong Yuan gently placed the sleeping villain in his arms on the side of the couch, and when Xiao Xinyi got up, he actually smelled a sweet milk fragrance from Zhong Yuan.
It wasn't until Ling Mo entered the door with half a bowl of goat's milk that Xiao Xinyi knew that Zhong Yuan was using a small spoon to feed the baby in his arms just now...
After dinner, Su Yue's immortal enemy was sleepy and fell asleep early. Xiao Xinyi then went to the side hall with Zhong Yuan: "Master." ”
"At the Royal Palace."
Although he already had the answer in his heart, Xiao Xinyi couldn't help but feel sad after hearing it with his own ears: "Does the emperor not believe us?" Master is sincere to the imperial court, how can he doubt Master. ”
"After all, he is not the heir to the throne designated by the first emperor, he doesn't know the responsibilities of the Double Holy Gate, and it is inevitable to have scruples, but he shouldn't imprison his master in the palace." Zhong Yuan replied faintly.
