Prologue The heart flows, and the mind hurts the mind Chapter 13 The Ancient House
[Xue Liyue: For some reason, from the moment I saw you, I seemed to be attracted to you. 】
The two followed Xue Liyue to the outskirts of Flan Town, and saw a huge ancient mansion hidden in the shade of the trees, with its back to a pale mountain rock. In front of the house is a bamboo forest, the whip-like knotted bamboo roots extend to the door of the house, the door is well hidden, and it is really possible to find out where the door of the house is if you don't look carefully. Xiran and Emperor Xuan Lie followed Xue Liyue to this place, and they were a little afraid of the strange seclusion in their hearts, but they also felt a kind of attraction. In the grass path near the entrance, you can faintly see the colorful wings of butterflies fluttering, and there are red and green dragonflies that are rare elsewhere.
"I didn't see any water, no flowers, why are there so many dragonflies, butterflies or something here?" Shizome looked around at the fluttering butterflies and so many red dragonflies, and asked curiously, saying that he wanted to go up and catch a butterfly or something.
"Don't touch it, it's poisonous." Xue Liyue didn't even glance at Xiran, and threw out four words to push the door and enter the ancient mansion. When Xi Ran heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, and Emperor Xuan Lie also hurriedly pulled Xi Ran and walked towards the door, and he didn't forget to chatter: "The god is mysterious, wearing a mask, still living in such a hidden place, and raising these strange things, he is definitely not a good person." ”
Xi Ran stabbed Emperor Xuan Lie and told him not to say it, don't make Xue Liyue unhappy at that time, and if she doesn't treat her, it will be troublesome. Although it was a small wound of an alien bite, she could deal with it herself, but I don't know why Xue Liyue gave her a feeling that she could rely on and trust.
Sure enough, when Xue Liyue heard this, she paused a little as she stepped into the threshold, then turned her steps, held the door with both hands and closed it and said, "Since you are not a good person, then don't come in." ”
Shizome saw that the door was closed immediately and hurriedly trotted, "Bang! With a sound, Shizoan still looked at the door closed in front of him, almost knocked on the door because he didn't brake, a little angry, and shouted "Hey, open the door and open the door!" He tapped on the door, but got no response, so he slammed his body again, and the door just wouldn't open.
Angrily, he stomped his foot and turned his head to look at Emperor Xuanlie, who scratched the tip of his nose embarrassedly, and his eyes drifted away, looking like it was none of my business. Xi Ran was even more helpless, and some regretted agreeing to let Emperor Xuanlie follow, he was originally a very serious fire phoenix, but now he has become a human being, why does it make people feel that he is not cleaned up? She still wants to follow in, waiting for him to heal me, by the way, ask about these things today, she is really curious, who else dares to assassinate the prince? Wait, why did she care about this ice cube, she was thinking about leaving quickly. The more Xi Ran thought about it, the more irritable he became, so he simply didn't want to, and walked in the direction he came, and waved his hand: "If you don't let in, you won't let in, let's go!" ”
At this moment, the "squeak" door opened again, and it was not Xue Liyue who opened the door but a young man in a dark robe, and said respectfully to Xiran and Emperor Xuanlie: "Your Highness asked me to invite the two of you to go in, there are many poisonous insect traps outside, I am afraid that the two of you are not safe, please come with me." Then he turned sideways to get out of the way and made a gesture of please.
Shizome and Emperor Xuanlie glanced at each other, but turned around and went in together. Following this young man, he finally came to a hall and saw Xue Liyue who had changed her clothes again, but the mask still did not take off.
On the way to the hall, Xi Ran learned that this young man's name was Mo Hexin, who was Xue Liyue's confidant and the captain of Xue Liyue's team of guard knights. also knew that Xue Liyue was not deposed and came here, but came to check the details of Prince Xue under the banner of being assigned, and then wanted to take away his title. It didn't take long for Xue Liyue to officially take over as Prince Xue's ceremony, and nothing could go wrong.
As early as two years ago, Xue Ronghai, the emperor of the Xingnuo Empire, announced that Xue Liyue would officially take over as Prince Xue on the occasion of the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twenty, and the previous Prince Xue would be sent to the frontier to become a border general. Therefore, Xue Liyue also avoided people's eyes and ears two years ago, bought this ancient mansion and renovated it, becoming a secret base for herself.
"So you're not deposed." Xi Ran began to sigh when she saw Xue Liyue's first sentence, looking Xue Liyue up and down, the person in front of her is the future Prince of Xue, take a few more looks, otherwise she will not have the luck to continue to meet a royal person.
"Have you seen enough? I'm not against it if you want to become an alien. Xue Liyue frowned, glanced at Mo Hexin on the side, and knew that he must have said something that should not be said. The latter snickered in his heart. Then Xue Liyue didn't say much, took out a delicate small medicine bottle from her arms and threw it to Xiran, and then said: "Three times a day, two pills each time, take it for three days." ”
"That's it?" Shizome accurately caught the small medicine bottle and looked at it, opened it and smelled the smell and asked.
"Yes, this is the best elixir for our Highness, and it is not available anywhere else." Mo Hexin saw that his Royal Highness was silent, and hurriedly explained to Xi Ran that he regarded the people His Highness brought to this secret place as his own people, and he would say anything.
"Ah, I still don't need such a valuable medicine, I'll just wipe this injury with some ordinary ointment myself." Xiran suddenly felt that such a small medicine bottle in her hand was more expensive than gold, and she couldn't stand it for such a big use.
Xue Liyue watched Xiran hand back the small medicine bottle as if she was holding a treasure, she was a little unhappy, she didn't plan to pay attention to Xiran, turned around and shook her sleeves and sat down in the upper position of the hall, and glanced at Mo Hexin, who was talking, and said, "I usually don't find that you Captain Mo is still so talkative." ”
"Uh, Your Highness, I'll pay attention next time, pay attention." Mo Hexin made a salute and made a reparation, and his heart was also very strange, today's His Highness didn't seem to be normal, and he called him Captain Mo, obviously His Highness was a little unhappy.
"Hey, hey, you're pretty big." Emperor Xuan Lie looked at Xue Liyue and ignored Xiran, and couldn't help but shout again. Regardless of the fact that Xiran kept giving him a look, he continued: "I have seen a prince who has not become a prince, and he is still so arrogant when he is sent here to be a prince. ”
"You seem to be upset with me." Xue Liyue poured herself a cup of tea and responded leisurely, not angry, and gently sipped the tea.
"Of course, you robbed the people's girls on the street, and you never dared to show your true face, and you are not a decent gentleman at first glance." Emperor Xuan Lie kept chattering, telling Xue Liyue's various behaviors today, but he was suffocated. Mo Hexin, who was on the side, listened to various descriptions, and began to wonder if he was talking about His Royal Highness of their family.
"Ahem, it's okay, it's all over, you guys will be at peace. What's going on with those men in black today? Xi Ran couldn't listen anymore, and watched Xue Liyue's hand holding the teacup getting tighter and tighter, and hurriedly stopped Emperor Xuanlie's chatter, and quickly changed the topic.
"Men in black? Your Highness, have you been attacked? Mo Hexin became concerned when he heard this, he was sent by His Highness to investigate some things today, and he didn't follow the convoy, he just heard that His Highness didn't go to the banquet, but he didn't know about the man in black yet.
"Yes, our family's Xiao Ran was bitten by that alien race because he protected His Royal Highness of your family." Emperor Xuanlie's mouth was quite fast, and he took over the conversation directly.
"Your little dye?" Xue Liyue felt a little harsh when he heard it, looking at Emperor Xuanlie's expression that Xiran is mine, and none of you are allowed to touch it, she resisted the urge to step forward and beat him, he took another sip of tea to calm down his mood, he didn't know what was going on, it didn't seem to be right today.
Shizome sighed when he saw that he couldn't get down to business today. Okay, she should take Emperor Xuanlie away, and then turned her mind to Mo Hexin and said, "I see that it's getting late outside, and the two of us have nowhere to go, so let's just let us stay, and we can also protect your Highness." ”
Mo Hexin was stunned, a little embarrassed and at a loss, this place is still in charge of His Royal Highness, it seems useless to ask him, he secretly glanced at His Highness for help, and saw Xue Liyue nodding his head, so he immediately said: "Okay, no problem, let's stay together, then I'll take you to see your room?" ”
"Okay, thank you Captain Mo." Xiran seemed to be angry with Xue Liyue for ignoring herself, and she didn't look at him or thank him the whole time, which made Mo Hexin smile a little embarrassed, and hurriedly led the way to leave this place that was becoming more and more full of weird atmosphere.
Xue Liyue looked at the figure who left, sighed, gently took off the mask she had worn for a day, put it on the table and gently swayed it with her hands. I remembered what happened during the day: from discovering that there was an obsessive ice-blue eye staring at him, to going to save the stunned little nymphomaniac, looking at her intently eyes, it was a little funny, but it also succeeded in arousing his interest. Later, when my index finger was lightly pressed against her lips, a strange feeling swayed in my heart. After getting along with each other later, Xue Liyue found that she seemed to have Xiran in all her minds, full of curiosity, curious about what kind of woman Xiran was. Xiran didn't know that he had completely aroused Xue Liyue's interest.
Here, Mo Hexin took the two of them to the side courtyard and picked two clean rooms.
"Little star. Ah no. Xiao Ran, rest early, remember to take your medicine on time, if you have anything to call me, I'm next door. Emperor Xuan Lie walked into his room, and when he was about to close the door, he didn't forget to tell Xiran, and said with a hippie smile.
"Got it, you should rest early, too." Xiran was a little helpless, but Emperor Xuan Lie was still easy to blurt out and call himself a little star. Then gently pushed open his door, looked around, looked at the clean and tidy room, very elegant, giving people a very comfortable feeling, Xiran was very satisfied, and nodded to Mo Hexin: "Yes, the room is very clean and comfortable, thank you." ”
"Well, if you like it, then rest early, and I'll retire first." Mo Hexin also responded politely, and Xiran nodded, which was considered to be agreed. I saw Mo Hexin turn around and leave lightly, not forgetting to close the door for Xiran before leaving.
