Chapter 729: The Third Stone
After the Tongtian Temple incident, Chu Huan did not see King Yingren of Qi again, he knew from Xue Huai'an that Yingren was frightened, but he didn't know what was going on now, and he kept thinking about whether to enter the palace to take a look.
As soon as he thought of the palace, Chu Huan thought of the little princess, he didn't know if the emperor still sent someone to search, the little princess had no news, but he didn't know what the little girl was doing now?
He didn't know if the disappearance of the little princess was a drama staged by the little princess herself, or if there was something else.
I thought that I would not see Yingren again in a short time, but I didn't expect that this afternoon, Yingren came out of the palace, as soon as Chu Huan heard that "Xu Gongzi" was visiting, he immediately knew that Yingren was coming, and immediately went out to greet him, when he saw Yingren, Yingren's complexion did not look very good, Sun Desheng cautiously followed the side, entered the main hall, Yingren sat down with a butt, and waited until Chu Huan knew that he was retiring, Yingren smiled bitterly: "Chu Huan, do you know that the third brother has gone crazy!" ”
Chu Huan had already learned a clue from Xue Huai'an a few days ago, but until today, he was still not sure, and asked softly, "Your Highness has seen King Han?" ”
Yingren shook his head and said, "Come out today, come to you first, and you will accompany me to see the third brother later." This news is still blocked for the time being, but I already know it, I heard that the third brother is crazy all day long, and his father has sent people to guard around his mansion ......! Although his relationship with King Han is not very deep, and he was even in opposition for a time, but when he thought that Yingping, the once peerless King of Han, has now become a madman, Yingrenxin is still a little uncomfortable.
Chu Huan bowed his head slightly and asked, "How is Your Highness's health this time?" ”
Yingren waved his hand, "I'm fine." He looked around, hesitated, and finally asked, "That...... Isn't Miss Lingshuang here? ”
Chu Huan knew that Yingren was coming, and Mo Lingshuang must be in the first place, and said with a smile: "Lingshuang will have tea later." ”
Yingren smiled a little embarrassedly, and then leaned closer and whispered, "Chu Huan, you say...... Is it okay to let Ling Shuang enter the palace at this time? ”
Chu Huan was stunned, groaned slightly, and asked, "Has Your Highness made the arrangements?" ”
Yingren said with a smile: "After An Guogong rebelled, many people in this palace also suffered, and several eunuchs and chief eunuchs were driven out of the palace to ......!" He glanced at Sun Desheng, who was standing respectfully on the side, and pointed at Sun Desheng and said: "The queen mother has just promoted this guy, and he has a lot of things to do, and arranging a palace maid to enter the palace is no longer a problem." ”
Chu Huan only felt weird, but he still nodded and said, "If His Royal Highness has arranged it, of course Ling Shuang's side can enter the palace at any time." ”
Yingren said, "Ling Shuang never knew my identity...... Chu Huan, do you think it's time to tell her the bottom now? Do you say it's you, or am I saying it myself? ”
Chu Huan hurriedly said: "Naturally, His Highness personally said to Ling Shuang. ”
Yingren bowed slightly, and at this moment, a shadow flashed in front of the door, Ling Shuang had already come in with tea, and when she saw Yingren, she smiled, came over to put down the tea, and said with a smile: "Is Gongzi Xu here?" I haven't seen you for a while. ”
Yingren heard Ling Shuang's gentle words, his heart warmed, and he smiled: "Things have been a little busy recently, so ...... How is Miss Lingshuang lately? ”
Ling Shuang nodded with a smile, and was about to retreat, Chu Huan coughed, glanced at Yingren, and Yingren finally said, "Miss Lingshuang, I'm ......!" ”
Ling Shuang was about to leave, but when she heard Yingren call herself, she turned her head and saw Yingren's strange expression on her face, so she couldn't help asking, "What else does Gongzi Xu command?" ”
Yingren's eyes flickered, glanced at Chu Huan, and finally said, "Miss Lingshuang, do you remember the first time we met?" ”
Ling Shuang didn't know why Yingren asked this, but she still nodded and said with a smile: "Ling Shuang also wants to thank Xu Gongzi, if it weren't for you and the master, Ling Shuang would be ...... now!" Biting his lip, he didn't continue.
Yingren smiled reluctantly, stared at Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes, and finally said, "Miss Ling Shuang, I actually ......!" After a pause, he seemed a little embarrassed, but said, "Actually, I have something to give you!" ”
Ling Shuang hurriedly said: "Young Master Xu, you sent a Yaoqin last time, Ling Shuang has already deserved it, and she can't ...... it anymore!" ”
Yingren had already taken something off his neck and hung it with a gold thread, "Lingshuang, this is the mascot given to me by my mother, if you stay by your side, everything will be safe and ......!" ”
When Chu Huan saw what Yingren had taken out, his body was shocked, and his complexion changed drastically.
What hung under the golden thread in Yingren's hand was not gold and jade, but a stone.
The color of that stone is extremely special, the whole body is pure green, extremely rare, at first glance, it looks like a piece of jasper, but it is completely without the crystal clarity of jasper, Chu Huan only glanced at it, and knew that it was a stone with pure green color.
This was not the first time Chu Huan had seen such a stone.
The shape and size of this stone was almost exactly the same as the stone he had obtained from Lin Dai'er, except that the stone in his collection was red all over, while the stone in front of him was pure green.
Chu Huan remembered clearly that before this, Xuanyuan Shao also took out a stone of almost the same shape and size, but the stone was as white as snow.
At that time, Chu Huan felt very strange, this room was very strange, he thought that there were only two stones in the world, one red and one white, and he had not yet figured out what the relationship between these two stones was, but today he saw a third stone suddenly appear.
A red stone, a white stone, and today again a green stone appeared.
Chu Huan never imagined that such a strange stone would appear in Yingren's hand.
Countless questions came up in his mind for a while.
What is the relationship between these three stones? Are there any other stones other than these three stones? Lin Dai'er, Xuanyuan Shao, and Yingren, three completely different people, why do they all have such strange stones?
What kind of secrets are behind these three stones?
Chu Huan remembered that Xuanyuan Shao was once assassinated on Long Street, and at that time Xuanyuan Shao had said that the purpose of those assassins was to get the white stone in his hand, if this statement was true, then these stones must have great value, otherwise why did those assassins assassinate Xuanyuan Shao again and again regardless of life and death?
Chu Huan was surprised, but Ling Shuang had already taken two steps back, waved his hand nervously, and said, "Young Master Xu, Ling Shuang...... Ling Shuang can't take ......! "Ling Shuang is a smart girl in ice and snow, all along, Yingren's attitude towards her has made Ling Shuang know that this Xu Gongzi seems to be very interesting to herself, but she has no feelings for Yingren between men and women, last time Yingren gave her a very expensive Yaoqin, Ling Shuang didn't dare to accept it, but Yingren claimed that if she didn't accept it, she would smash Yaoqin, Ling Shuang was helpless, and she didn't recognize that the expensive Yaoqin was destroyed, so she could only accept it.
Today, Yingren is going to give a gift again, Ling Shuang saw that this gift was strange, and he didn't know what it was, but he felt that since this Xu Gongzi made a move, it would not be a generic thing, and then he heard Yingren say that this was passed on to him by his mother, Ling Shuang didn't dare to accept it, and waved his hand again and again.
Yingren frowned when he saw that Ling Shuang didn't accept it, he was actually not in a very good mood because of King Han's madness, seeing Ling Shuang, his mood was slightly relieved, but Ling Shuang refused to accept the gift, but let his temper come up, and asked, "Ling Shuang, do you really not accept it?" ”
Ling Shuang was embarrassed: "Young Master Xu, Ling Shuang...... Ling Shuang is just a subordinate, and the last time she received Xu Gongzi's Yaoqin, she already deserved it, this ...... Since this thing was handed down to you by Ling Tang, you should keep it well, Ling Shuang...... Ling Shuang can't be collected. Although her voice was delicate, her tone was very firm, and she was determined not to accept it.
Yingren frowned, threw the green stone out of the gate suddenly, and said, "Since you don't accept it, this can't be called a mascot, so it's better to lose it as soon as possible." ”
Ling Shuang was a little surprised, but Chu Huan had already quickly got up, his body was light, and when he went out of the door, he saw that the stone fell to the ground, stepped forward, squatted down and picked it up, and looked carefully, but saw that this green stone really had the same veins and fine lines as the spider king, except for the different colors, the others were almost exactly the same as his own red stone, and the feeling of holding it in his hand was quite different from the red stone.
The red stone that he owns will be hot and hot if he holds it for a long time in his hand, and the stone of Xuanyuan Shao is cold when he starts it, but this green stone is very warm when he holds it in his hand.
He took the green stone back to the hall, saw Ling Shuang bowing his head, stepped forward, handed the stone back to Yingren, and said, "Young Master Xu, you put this thing away first......!" ”
Yingren shook his head and said, "Ling Shuang doesn't want it, I don't want it either, you just find a place to throw it away." ”
Chu Huan sighed, turned around and handed the green stone to Ling Shuang, and said, "Ling Shuang...... This is Xu Gongzi's heart, you take it first, and then talk about it later! ”
Seeing that Yingren suddenly lost his temper, Ling Shuang was really a little scared, seeing Chu Huan say this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took the green stone, saluted Yingren Yingying, and without saying much, he retreated.
Seeing Ling Shuang go out, Yingren hurriedly stood up, raised his hand, and seemed to want to say something, but after all, he sighed, sat down, and said with a wry smile: "Chu Huan, I'm in a bad mood today, I scared Ling Shuang just now, I ...... Hey, you go back and apologize to him on my behalf, but I'm not...... I didn't mean to lose my temper ......! ”
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to think about it, Ling Shuang won't take it to heart." ”
Yingren got up, shook his head and said, "That's it, Chu Huan, it's up to you to tell Ling Shuang about entering the palace." Xiang Sun Desheng said: "Sun Desheng, when can you arrange for her to enter the palace?" ”
Sun Desheng said respectfully: "The slave has already taken care of all matters and can enter the palace at any time, and after entering the palace, he can soon be assigned to His Royal Highness's palace to serve ......!" After a pause, he said softly: "However, after entering the palace, Miss Ling Shuang can only stay by His Royal Highness's side as a palace maid, and the queen mother does not know about this matter, and she must not let others know, otherwise it will ......!" He smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, the minion's head will not be able to be saved, but I am afraid that His Highness will never see Miss Lingshuang again." ”
