Chapter 22: Breaking the Confusion

Lang Yu thousand feathers, clear pond slightly.

A little bamboo shadow, moving in response to the wind, fluttering, accompanied by the sound of "rustling", shaking the eyes of the people in the house gradually blurred.

The white is not stained with dust, and the sleeve hem sweeps past like a breeze when the fingertips gently scratch the hollow pattern on the carved window.

"Haha, Sister Scarlet, come on, come on!"

The most familiar voice came, and in an instant, like a fish jumping into the water, the cold and silent room immediately came alive.

As he got closer and closer, there was a rush of trotting footsteps, and the man who had just disturbed Gongyi's half-asleep thoughts had now come running barefoot from outside to find him.

Sure enough, it was a child in the end, even if he didn't take a nap on time, he was still so lively and energetic.

Here, Xuanyuan Qi had already pounced, but because he knew that Gongyi was contaminated with wind and cold, he was better today, so his presumptuous little body suddenly stopped in front of Gongyi Fei, and sat down on the mat obediently, as if the gust of wind just now ran over and now she is completely two people.

"Ha, I don't know, what did you bring over today? Is it a windmill with a 'tick' sound when it turns, or a jade cicada fruit brought back from Xiangyizhai outside the palace? ”

Gongyi said, and glanced at the bits and pieces that he had sorted out into a pile during this time. There are not only the burdens brought in by Mrs. Yan Xie Jin a few days ago, but also some of the jewels and silk that the emperor gave him casually, and some of which were given to him by Xuanyuan Qi, the little guy.

On that day, not only some clothes were sent from the baggage, but also a seemingly inconspicuous white porcelain vase. Although it is inconspicuous, it is of great use to him.

Inside the porcelain bottle were some specially prepared pills. Just one a day can make him not go wrong in his pulse and voice. In addition, he is just a princess of a small Han Kingdom, and the palace people are too lazy to serve carefully.

It's just that the medicine is three parts poisonous, and if you take too much of this medicine, people will also be a little sick.

It has been almost two or three months since the day I entered the palace, and this medicine is about to bottom out, and I almost can't keep up all day long.

If it is said that it is a cold wind, one day, two days, three days will be enough, and after a long time, his identity as a fake princess and a real prince will be exposed, so that he will be held hostage here for life, and maybe he will be sent to prison.

Thinking of this, Gongyi shuddered.

"Huh? Sister Scarlet, are you cold? It's June now, aren't you feeling very comfortable, or my brother and I will come to you another day, and we can visit the lake today......"

Xuanyuan blinked, he was still alive just now, but now he was like a weed after a frost, his whole body wilted, and his head hung down at the same time.

"No, no, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I had a nightmare when I took a nap, don't worry, let's go! Oh my God, I don't know what's going on, it's as hot as falling into a fire, and I think it's cooler to swim in the lake. ”

I didn't want to brush off the kindness of this little bean ding, and ruined his interest, so he originally leaned his elbow on a small case, and he half got up, and moved forward slightly, unlike in the past, for the first time, he took the initiative to take Xuanyuan Qi's hand.

Along the palace road, the two of them were surrounded by several palace people all the way, and finally came to the Taiping Lake in the center of the imperial garden. The lake is nameless, because there is a small pavilion called "Taiping" in the lake, which is located on a shallow island. Therefore, this lake is simply called "Taiping".

Far from being able to wait for Xuanyuan Xuan, who was waiting for the two, Gongyi had already sensed that something was wrong. The palace people who originally accompanied the two of them all the way retreated first, and there was not a single palace person next to Xuanyuan Jue, who was sitting and waiting for them to come over.

"I commanded them to wait at a distance, and to sail in a boat on the lake, for such pleasures would not be enjoyed with them."

As if seeing Gongyifei's doubts, Xuanyuan Jue didn't need to hide it and said it directly, which made Gongyifei relieved, and then followed Xuanyuan Qi and got on the boat.

The boat is like a leaf, and with the oar in Xuanyuan Jue's hand paddling the water, this carries a leaf of three people, leisurely, and it is actually into a fragrant realm.

The season is just right, the water is shining, the water is delicate, and in this seemingly boundless lotus sea as far as the eye can see, the heat has also been reduced a lot.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Jue also put away the oars, and like the two of them, he raised his right foot on his left ankle, took his hand as a pillow and the boat as a couch, and found a free place at random and lay down, which can be said to be very comfortable and leisurely.

Gongyifei, who was originally enjoying his eyes with his eyes closed, opened his eyes again when he noticed the shallow breath of another person in his ears, and he turned his head to the side a little, just in time to see Xuanyuan Xuan's side face lying beside him.

It is the face of the left side.

Although he wore a black satin blindfold embroidered with gold thread and auspicious cloud pattern to cover the hollow that was already a scar, the scar on the cheekbone from the eyebrow bone was still somewhat revealed, as if it was a centipede, hidden under the blindfold, but with its tail exposed.

Why did he suddenly ask Xiaodouding to ask him out to swim in the lake today? Come to think of it, it's a bit annoying......

The prince and King Kang have returned with a fate, which is worth celebrating, but it is said that it is safe and sound, but the prince has no eye, and I don't know who leaked the news, and now the ministers are talking about it, and the emperor has to say that he hurt his eyes and needs a period of recuperation.

However, after a month of "cultivation", two months, and now three months. Just yesterday, a minister finally couldn't hold on, and asked the emperor to accept the harem and extend the inheritance. But he was directly ordered by the emperor, and then ordered the guards to be dragged out of the palace, and he was rewarded with a cane on the spot.

And the consequence of being punished with a cane is that the minister has not been able to come to the court today.

This matter, although it is just a mouthful of what Gongyi scarlet heard by chance from the mouths of several palace people, it may not be true.

After yesterday's court discussion, the emperor of Xuanguo also had to order to go down and track down the mastermind behind the assassination of Jinhe. I have to say that it seems a little late to remember to track it down now......

Besides, isn't the person behind this curtain the most noble and supreme person in this Ye City?

If you really want to abolish the crown prince, then I am afraid that there is only one candidate for the new prince at this moment. Presumably, he also knows this.

Although they are not biological siblings...... Gongyi was full of thoughts, and after thinking about it, he felt that Xuanyuan would never do such a terrible thing.

"Hahaha!"

When Gongyi was thinking about things, Xuanyuan Qi's innocent laughter came from her ears, and she didn't know when she got up, and at this time she was half-kneeling and half-sitting on the bow of the boat, and a hand reached out in front of her, trying to pick the largest lotus pod in front of her.

Although Xuanyuan Qi is young, because he is taken care of very well on weekdays, now, as soon as he leans forward, he lowers the bow of the boat a lot.

"Huh?"

Xuanyuan beside him opened his eyes at this moment, he was curious about what kind of trick this little bean was doing, but unexpectedly, he happened to see her doing this.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan Jue immediately got up, rushed forward with an arrow step, hugged Xiaodouding in his arms, and fell backwards.

"Danger, look at it, this sleeve has gone into the water, if I am a little more at night, you little devil will become a water ghost!"

While frowning tightly, his face darkened. Although Xuanyuan Jue was very angry, when the words came to his mouth, the originally harsh lesson and reprimand softened in the end.

And what about Xuanyuan Qi?

pouted, lowered her head, but her eyes couldn't stop turning upwards and peeking at Xuanyuan Jue, and from her angle, she could only see half of her face. After seeing a hint of softness on this half of her face, she immediately raised her head again, and by the way, she also stretched out the hand behind her back.

On her right hand, it was the lotus pod she had just plucked. Because of the water once, the lotus pod was drenched, but it became more and more that each lotus seed was very sweet.

"Brother, I remember that you like to eat lotus seed porridge the most, let's peel it in a while, okay?"

Xuanyuan Xuan, who originally had a cold face, couldn't stand anymore when he saw this. Without waiting for Xuanyuan Qi to say another second sentence, he himself laughed first, and took the lotus pod from the little bean ding's hand.

"Huh? Okay, this lotus seed porridge I use with your sister Scarlet, the tea soup brewed from the lotus seed heart, you drink it, okay? ”

The smile was soft and square, and he saw that Xiao Douding, who couldn't stand Xuanyuan Jue's teasing, raised his mouth so high, and his upper lip almost touched the tip of his nose.

"Ha, Ah Qi, don't pay attention to your brother's jokes, let's pick a bunch of fresh lotus flowers, cook lotus seed porridge and drink, don't leave a bowl for him, let him drink the lotus heart tea by himself~"

Gongyi raised his sleeves, covered the corners of his lips with one hand, and smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes, so that he coaxed Xuanyuan Qi, and he also turned around at the same time and took the oar in his hand, paddling a few times at will, but the boat was only swaying from side to side in place, and he didn't see a step forward.

Also, although it is a small boat, it does not take much effort to paddle, but for a person who is not good at it, it is really difficult.

Therefore, at a glance, it seems that today's "Gonggong" still wants Xuanyuan to be the one, and he and Xiaodouding obediently pick lotus flowers.

"Jiangnan can pick lotus,

Lotus leaf He Tian Tian.

Fish play among lotus leaves.

Fish play lotus leaf east,

Fish play lotus leaf west.

……”

Between the half-singing and half-chanting, Gongyi had the illusion of a moment, as if he had never left the Han Kingdom one step, and he was still the carefree prince.

Until, after the ripples on the surface of the lake had calmed down, his face was reflected in the water, which had been deliberately dressed as a man and a woman.

If all goes well, he should not be discovered until his so-called "prostration".

"Huh? What is this man in the lake doing? ”

While casually peeling off a lotus leaf, Xuanyuan Qi found something that looked very interesting, it was a thin reed pole, a little bit out of the water, and the rest was held in the mouth of a eunuch-like person in the lake.

"Whoa!" One of the eunuch's hands suddenly stretched out from under the lake, and his five fingers gathered to form a claw, heading straight for Xuanyuan. It wasn't in his plan to do it now, who let this little thing find him first!

"Huh?! Dangerous...... Gollum ...... "Gongyi Scarlet almost didn't think about it, and directly pushed Xuanyuan Qi beside him behind him, but unexpectedly, he was caught by this eunuch into the water!"

And here, Xuanyuan Jue, who noticed the movement, also rushed over with an oar. Just now he withdrew a group of palace people, and got on the boat with the two of them, except for the oars and a few lotus canopies that had just been plucked, there was nothing else.

"Gollum...... Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

The unusual sound of water is the desperate struggle of Gongyifei. In a panic, Gongyi's fingers touched a trace of skin, and he was sure that it was not his own. So, the index finger and middle finger exerted their strength and squeezed deeply into the flesh of the cheekbone on the eunuch's face, causing him to feel pain, afraid that the child in his hand was not light or heavy, and hurt his eyes, he immediately let go of the public scarlet. However, the laxity at this moment made him regret it for the rest of his life.

"Smack! Syllable! Overlapping and continuous, one after another muffled sounds, it was the sound of Xuanyuan Qi smashing his head with an oar, and the sound of Xuanyuan Qi picking up lotus canopies and smashing them at him behind him.

However, the oar was not specifically used to hit people, and after only two or three strokes, the surface of the oar had already shattered, leaving only half of the irregular mutilated edges. And the lotus canopy, which was already small in the boat, also bottomed out. Seeing this, the eunuch took advantage of the pause between the two of them at a loss, and hurriedly pulled out the dagger that was inserted in the boot and was ready to be used for stabbing.

Saying that it was too late, Xuanyuan didn't have time to think about it, and directly used the severed oar in his hand as a spear, and stabbed it into the eunuch's throat as much as he could. The sky did not bear it, although it was a cut of the oar, but let him hit it with one blow, and when he landed, he only heard a few "gurgling" sounds from the eunuch's throat, and then, his whole body was weak and paralyzed, and he gradually fell to the bottom of the lake, and he did not resurface for a while.

After Xuanyuan Jue was sure that he was safe, he personally went into the water early in the morning, and tried his best to push Gongyi Fei, who had drowned and fainted, onto the boat, but he didn't notice that Xuanyuan Qi, who was safe and sound, had changed his expression.

"Poof, vomit...... Ahem......"

Although he was still drowsy and unconscious, under Xuanyuan's pressure and treatment, he had coughed up all the lake water that he had just swallowed.

It was only at this time that Xuanyuan Jue noticed Xuanyuan Qi, whose face was as pale as dirt, and his eyes were full of horror. didn't think much about it, Xuanyuan Jue only thought that he was startled by the assassin who suddenly appeared, but he softened his temperament, and after a few words of comfort, he went into the water again.

The boat the three of them were on had no oars, and now if they wanted to try to get back to the shore quickly, they could only rely on Xuanyuan Xuanyuan, who knew how to do water, to push the boat back.

When he got ashore, Xuanyuan Jue put the sleeping Gongyi Scarlet on his shoulder, and with the other hand, he still held Xuanyuan Qi tightly.

"What are you doing here?! Why don't you go find the Imperial Doctor!! ”

With an angry reprimand, a few palace people who had been waiting on the shore woke up from their panic and became ant people who were busy walking through.

Gongyifei's worst fear still happened, the identity of the male body he had been hiding was finally discovered by a palace man who was called by Xuanyuan Jue to replace him with wide clothes, naturally, Xuanyuan Jue also knew.

"Someone ...... coming"

Just changed into a bed dress for Gongyifei, and this was solved by Xuanyuan Xuan's hands and feet. The stakes are high, and it is enough for him to know about this matter now.

What happened today was nothing more than that the three of them met a guard who was hiding in the lake and dressed as a eunuch while boating in the lake, and when they came back, they met a palace maid who wanted to escape with the guard.

Unfortunately, the guards drowned in the lake, and the palace maids were martyred and jumped into the lake together.
