Chapter 50: Departure
This year's hunt ended in this turmoil!
This hunt is far from as interesting as I thought, but it is an invisible battle for imperial power, and if I knew it was like this, it was better not to come!
dragged a tired body back to Shangqing Palace, lying on a comfortable bed, too many things have happened in the past few days, and now I just want to sleep well.
When I woke up, it was the middle of the night, to be precise, I was awakened hungry, but there was nothing to eat at this hour.
I pushed open the window, and the cold wind blew in, and I subconsciously wrapped myself around myself.
It was pitch black outside the window, and the moonlight spilled through the treetops to the ground, slightly illuminating the dark world.
I looked at the moon, as bright as a silver plate, as if I could see my own shadow.
The branches of the trees swayed in the cool breeze, as if tickling the moon, and I was amused by the sight and laughed.
"What's interesting thinking about it?" I looked in the direction where the voice came from, and was suddenly stunned, it was Xia Ning.
He stood by the tree, dressed in white, and shining especially in the night, when did he come?
"Guess?"
He smiled and asked, "Me?" ”
I glared at him, and then wanted to close the window, but he immediately stepped forward to stop me, and said: "Under the moonlight, look at the beauty, but the beauty is not waiting to be seen, it makes people miss it!" It's sad......"
I pretended to be angry and said, "Beautiful women don't like to be watched secretly!" ”
"Then I'm looking at it now! Isn't that enough? ”
I asked, "When did you come?" ”
"Just now!"
"What are you doing at such a late hour?"
"Look at you!"
"What do you think of me when you're standing outside?"
"Didn't you see it now?"
"You're ......!"
Then I tried to close the window, but he stopped me and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow......"
I asked, "Where to go?" ”
"Go back to the summer country!"
"What about you...... Will it be back? ”
When Xia Ning heard this, he laughed and asked, "What?" Reluctant to let me go? ”
I turned around and stopped looking at him, and he said, "I'm going back this time to take care of something." Also, it's been too long to make my father suspicious! This time I came to Huaqiao Kingdom to pretend to be the crown prince, except for me and Feng Shu, no one in Xia Kingdom knows! ”
I pinched my sleeves and circled around and asked, "What about you...... When...... Come back? ”
"I'll be back when I'm done!"
"When will it be done?"
"Hurry up...... Half a month! ”
I didn't speak, and he continued: "Also, the gentleman is also going out of the palace!" ”
I turned around and asked, "The master is also going out of the palace?" Why? ”
"I went out of the palace this time, and the reason for reporting to the emperor was to look for strange grasses outside the palace that grow in winter and die in spring! Although my illness has been cured, I still need this strange herb to remove toxins from my body, otherwise the old disease will recur. So, Sir wants to go out of the palace with me to look for strange grass! After hearing this, the emperor agreed. ”
"The master also followed you to the Xia Kingdom?"
"No, Mr. go to the maple forest, and when I come back from the Xia Kingdom, I will pick him up and go back to the palace together!"
"Oh!"
At this moment, a small cold wind suddenly blew, and I couldn't help but shiver......
"Why do you wear so little, take care of yourself during the time when my husband and I are away!"
As he spoke, he took off his coat and put it on me.
I was like a wrapped kitten, and I was warmed up all at once.
"I'll wait for you to come back!"
The wind gently blew his hair, and I looked at Xia Ning in the moonlight, the silver glow reflected on him, glowing with silver-white light, like a god who brings hope.
Father, mother, have you seen it, the person in front of you is the person Qiao'er wants to protect with his life.
I looked at Xia Ning's departing back, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the night......
Early the next morning, the master came to say goodbye to me, saying that in order to cooperate with Xia Ning, he was going to live in the maple forest for a while. The master also specially instructed me that if the people of the Liu family make trouble for me, I must not be tough with them, and if necessary, it will not hurt me to take soft.
I promised the master that I would never leave this Shangqing Palace, as long as I didn't go out, they would never come to the door!
The master was still not at ease, but there was no way, so he had to leave with a worried face.
After Xia Ning and his master left, this Shangqing Palace was much more deserted, and it was not very lively on weekdays, but now it was even more lonely.
Every day, I saw the palace people coming and going, doing chores, and there was not even a single person to speak.
"Ann is in charge...... Ann is in charge ......"
Gonggong Liu walked up to me, gave me a purse, and said: "This is the moonsilver of you and the little brother of Fengshu this month, you went hunting a few days ago, so the slave received the moonsilver of Shangqing Palace and distributed it." The one in this purse is that of you and Brother Fengshu. ”
I pinched my purse and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu!" I'm in charge...... It's really incompetent! ”
"Where is Ann in charge! That's what a minion should do! ”
I smiled and said, "Money is a good thing, but you have to keep some for yourself!" ”
"Not really! The slave has a monthly silver deposit, thinking that when he leaves the palace in the future, he has to keep some silver taels by his side! ”
Father-in-law Liu's words amused me, laughed, and asked, "Is there anyone else in my father-in-law's house?" ”
Father-in-law Liu said: "My mother is still alive at home, and my younger brother has also married a wife. The slave thought that when he got out of the palace when he was old, he would go back to farm a few points and spend the rest of his days plainly, and it would be enough! Hehe! Let Ann see the matter laugh! ”
"Who doesn't yearn for ordinary years, if you can live such a life, you are truly a blessed person!"
Grandpa Liu smiled, saluted me, and left.
I've been hanging around in Shangqing Palace for the past few days, and I'm in charge...... There doesn't seem to be much to do......
Can't go out again!
It's not that I'm afraid of meeting people from the Liu family, it's just that the master has specially instructed me not to come with them.
Now I am like a bird in a cage. The birds are still funny to their owners, but I ...... I can only wander around by myself.
I wish it would go by sooner!
It's very uncomfortable to wait for someone!
I wonder if Xia Ning has arrived in Xia Country now?
Although Xia Guo is adjacent to Huaqiao Country, it will take seven or eight days to walk back and forth, and I don't know how he is now.
Since he left that night, my heart has ...... It seems to have followed him as well......
He's in Xia Kingdom, how are you doing? He is in Xia Kingdom, does he have a close woman? He's in Xia Kingdom, will he miss me? Will he be back in half a month? Right now...... What's he doing?
I have to find something to do, whether it's reading a book or cleaning the yard, or I'm afraid I'll go crazy!
It's like having a demon stun, and you will unconsciously think of Xia Ning!
Heart...... also followed him to the Xia Kingdom......
