Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Woman in the Palace
Dongfang Rin's words undoubtedly pushed me to the bottom, and I frowned. The palace is not an ordinary family, and if you say a word casually inside, your life may be lost. The last time I went to the palace, it happened many times, and I didn't know how to go this time???????? Hey~~ However, the emperor wants to see me, and I can't refuse. In desperation, I entered the palace alone under the careful dressing of a group of maids.
Unlike last time, this time the emperor only met me alone in the study.
"Get up. The emperor's majestic voice sounded above his head.
"Emperor Xie!" After kneeling for a while, I stood up tremblingly, and I didn't dare to neglect the etiquette. At this moment, I realized how uneasy it was to be alone in the palace without Dongfang Rin's company! I secretly glanced at the emperor, the years took away a person's youth, and in just one year, the emperor's gray hair on his temples increased, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes swore that he no longer had more energy to govern the country.
"Xue Rou, it's just you and me here, so there's no need to be so restrained. It's hard to get used to this wild cat retracting its claws!" the emperor quipped as he looked at me with a kind smile.
"Wild cat?" "Okay, the emperor has compared me to a wild cat! As a high emperor, few are his friends who are not afraid of him, and maybe, if I pretend to be warm, he will be better to me." I thought to myself, "Your Majesty, how can you say that your daughter-in-law is a poultry, and if I am a wild cat, what will Rin do?" I said angrily.
"Haha?????? Your mouth, it's really ?????? to turn around and scold people Ahem???? Terrible???? Ahem??????" The emperor suddenly stroked his chest and coughed violently.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" I hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked worriedly. In the past, the man who fished by the river and laughed loudly is now really an old man.
"No?????? It's okay?????? Hey, it looks like I'm really old. The emperor sat slowly on the chair and looked at me with a sad expression.
"How can you be old!If you were a few years younger, I would have been impressed by your charms!Besides, how old you are, you are still a clever and shrewd old fox!" I winked at him, comforting him. Trying to make him forget the unpleasantness.
"You!" the emperor pointed at me and couldn't laugh or cry, yes, who would say that the emperor is a fox like me! "Don't think that I'm confused when I'm old, I still know everything you young people do!" He looked at me, his eyes suddenly became sharp and shrewd, and I was slightly stunned by his words. Was he hinting at me anything? But I couldn't guess.
"You, you've been missing for more than 3 months, and Rin is so worried about you????????! The emperor pointed at me and said.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry! If it weren't for me, the crown prince wouldn't have to fall into the bottom of the cliff with me and be injured, making you so sad!" Before the emperor scolded me, I had already knelt down and asked for forgiveness frankly.
"Get up!" the emperor helped me up, and in a faint tone, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or angry, "Tsubasa fell to the bottom of the cliff with you??????" He watched and repeated, and suddenly, his eyes flashed and he stared at my chest. I was stared at by this gaze very unnaturally, and flickered slightly. The emperor's hand stretched straight out to me in this second.
My eyes widened and I was so scared that I wanted to wave away. But he was one step ahead of meβ
"This jade pendant ??????" He held the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Whew~~" I gasped, it turned out that all he wanted was this jade pendant, and his tense body suddenly relaxed, "This is given to me by Dongfang Ao, which represents the friendship between us!" I explained with a smile.
"Oh?" the emperor's expression looked slightly shocked, he looked at it for a while, and put down the jade pendant. He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, "You go down first, I-tired!"
"Yes!" I didn't want to stay in the palace for a long time, and as soon as I heard that I could leave, I happily immediately withdrew.
The emperor looked at Lin Xuerou's departing back, turned around and returned to the table, took out a piece of snow-white paper casually, and swayed it on the paper with an ink pen in his hand-
"Jiangshan, beauty ??????????" He muttered softly, and the indifference and cruelty in his eyes emerged little by little????????
The palace was so big, there was no eunuch to help lead the way on the way back, and I walked around the palace alone, looking for an exit, only to find myself lost. The surroundings are secluded and empty.
"Hehe, fierce woman, look at the move!" A childish voice suddenly sounded, followed by a pain in the body.
"Dongfang Xi!!" I roared fiercely, and I knew that the other party was that little ghost when I looked at the tricks I was attacking!
"Fierce woman, I haven't seen it for so long, it's still so fierce!" Dongfang Xi jumped down from the tree with a smile. Dongfang Xi in front of him has grown a lot taller, and his delicate facial features are slowly revealed. "Fierce woman, come to the palace this time to tell me a story!"
"Fierce woman, is it okay? Brother Huang has been sick for more than three months recently, and no one is with me!"
"What did you say!Wing he was sick for three months?"
"Yes, the doctor said that he must have been infected with some kind of disease, and he rested at home for three months, and no one was allowed to visit him. β
I was shocked, didn't he always stay with me? Why didn't he ask me when I confessed to the emperor just now?
"Touch!" A strong blow struck again, only to see Dongfang Xi use a slingshot against me again, "If you don't tell me a story, I'll always deal with you!" said and started to move again.
I couldn't concentrate my thoughts, so I dodged everywhere.
"Xi'er!" came from a stern female voice, and the naughty Dongfang Xi obediently stopped this time. "Mother. He called softly and ran to a woman.
This woman is like water. Watery eyes, a pair of well-proportioned willow eyebrows, and tender white skin undoubtedly arouse the desire of others to protect. Next to her was a slightly older woman, dressed brightly, and the gold hairpin ornament on one end "ding" sounded, giving people an invisible majesty.
"Concubine Rou, it's time for him to learn the etiquette of the palace! When Yi'er inherits the throne, the dignified sixteenth prince is still so playful!" the older woman reprimanded sternly.
"Yes. The queen didn't resist anything, and bent down at the older woman, her eyes seemed to be dripping. And Dongfang Xi on the side shrank behind Concubine Rou in fear, his lips tightened, trembling faintly, he was very afraid of this woman!
It turned out that this proud woman was the current queen, and I leaned over to say hello to her, but she had already left indifferently from me. The smile stiffened, and I looked at the queen angrily, and I just wanted to beat her up! Suddenly, a gentle smile like a spring breeze came to me, and I saw Concubine Rou smile slightly when she passed by me.
Concubine Rou gave people a very comfortable and soft feeling, and unconsciously, I smiled slowly at her in fascination.
By the time I came to my senses, the group had long since gone away, and I realized that I had forgotten to ask them for directions. I had to walk around in this huge palace again. After a long time, I came to a dormitory again. The dormitory was busy, with maidservants carrying basins of water back and forth. I leaned over and was shocked! The cloth was stained with blood, and the water was red!
"Cheryl. There was a gentle softness behind him.
I turned around, and my whole body froze. "Your feet ??????????" It was Dongfang Yi, and I saw him standing in front of me with a smile.
"Well, soon after you left, I recovered!" his smile remained the same, but this smile suddenly made me feel unfamiliar.
"It's wonderful!" I genuinely smiled, the joy of seeing Dongfang Rin these days made me forget the purpose of leaving the valley in the first place, and even selfishly forgot about Dongfang Wing's injury. When I think about it, I feel guilty about him.
"Wing ????????" A weak call came from the room, and Dongfang Yi frowned and immediately pushed the door in.
"Man'er, your body is not feeling well, why didn't you inform me!" Dongfang Yi's voice implied reproach, but more of worry. With that, he stepped inside the barrier.
"I ?????? Didn't want to worry about ????????" Man'er's soft voice was too thoughtful.
Looking at the milky white barrier, I didn't go in. The person inside is Tsubasa's wife, I heard that her body has been bad. Today, I really realized the seriousness of her illness. There was a strange smell wafting through the room. It seems to be a faint fragrance, but it is mixed with a faint smell of medicine, so strange, I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere. It's just that I can't remember.
There was the sound of Dongfang Yi talking with his wife from the barrier, and the maids around me were still busy walking, and I seemed to be an outsider in the room, but looking at Dongfang Yi's recovered feet, I put my heart at ease and turned around and quietly left.
