Chapter 146: Back to Cloud City
The drought and war in Lizhou were all solved at this time. And Shen Zili and Mu Yanze were also preparing to return to the court, and after saying goodbye to Shangguan Yi, they embarked on the journey back to Cloud City.
After Shangguan Su was assassinated by Ye Qixing that day, Gao Jieran also cried and fainted, and when she woke up again, she was in the room: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!" Gao Jieran was awakened by a nightmare, Ah Xi hurriedly ran in from outside, and when she saw Gao Jieran's frightened face, she asked, "Niangniang, are you having a nightmare?" β
Gao Jieran didn't answer Ah Xi's question, and then hugged her head and cried: "Your Highness is gone, Your Highness is gone, woo woo woo ......" Ah Xi's eyes were also red, and Gao Jieran was hugged into her arms, Ah Xi choked and said: "Niangniang, and Ah Xi is here, Ah Xi will always be with you!" β
"Ah Xi, you tell me, His Highness is not dead yet, is he? Tell me, where is Your Highness? Gao Jieran grabbed Ah Xi's wrist tightly, and after getting Ah Xi's answer: "Niangniang, Your Highness has already died, Niangniang ....."
Gao Jieran shook her head in disbelief and said, "I don't believe it, you're lying to me, right?" Ah Xi, don't lie to me anymore, where is Your Highness, tell me quickly! Gao Jieran cried breathlessly, constantly shaking her head, forcing herself not to believe this fact.
Seeing that Ah Xi had not answered, Gao Jieran let go of Ah Xi's hand, and kept muttering: "Your Highness is not dead, Your Highness is not dead, you are all lying to me, not dead, not dead......"
That night, Shangguan Yi drew up a candidate for Shangguan Su's funeral, except for Gao Jieran and Liu Qi'er, the rest of the concubines all had to be buried for Shangguan Su! The reason why Liu Qier did not go to the funeral like other concubines was because Liu Qier was pregnant with Shangguan Su's flesh and blood.
Ah Xi was instructed by Gao Jieran to give some medicine to Liu Qi'er, and when she was escorted to the courtyard, she was shocked by the neon sky in front of her, and through the window, Ah Xi saw the princess looking up at the sky......
"Someone, it's on fire, it's on fire!" Ah Xi desperately asked for help around, and soon, a few patrol guards came, Ah Xi hurriedly pointed to Gao Jieran's room and said: "Quick, hurry up and put out the fire, Niang Niang is still inside!" β
When the guards heard this, they all went to find bottled water to put out the fire, Ah Xi looked at Gao Jieran by the window outside the courtyard, and cried and said: "Niangniang, why are you so stupid, why do you want to take Ah Xi, if you leave, Ah Xi is not willing to live, Niangniang!" β
Saying that, Ah Xi was about to run towards the room where the fire was burned, and this scene happened to be discovered by Liu Qi'er, who rushed over, so she hurriedly called someone to arrest Ah Xi back, "Do you know that this is the fire in front of you, you just run in like this, not only can you not save your mother, but even your own life will be compensated!" β
Ah Xi cried and knelt down beside Liu Qi'er, grabbed Liu Qi'er's dress and begged: "Liu Liangyuan, even if Ah Xi begs you, save the mother!" Her voice trembled a little as she spoke, and Liu Qi'er was reluctant to look at it, but what could she do, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she was also lacking in mental strength.
Gao Jieran saw Ah Xi who was crying not far away, so she smiled at her and walked into the room......
Ah Xi's eyes widened and shouted, "Mother! Mother, don't go, mother, don't go......"
Eventually, the fire was extinguished, and people were buried in the fire!
Liu Qi'er sent someone to take Ah Xi back to her courtyard, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for Ah Xi, and said helplessly: "I am a little envious that the crown princess can have such a loyal servant as you, but now I really admire her, after His Royal Highness had epilepsy, all the concubines avoided foresight, only she was willing to stay by His Royal Highness's side all the time." β
Ah Xi raised her eyes and looked at Liu Qi'er, then lowered her head again, and didn't say anything, Liu Qi'er smiled bitterly, and continued: "Niang Niang has a deep love for His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness has lost her after all, and also lost me and my unborn child in my belly!" β
ββββββββ
"Cloud City, I'm back!" After half a month of turbulence, Shen Zili and others finally arrived in Cloud City, looking at the plaque of the Long-lost Six Kings Mansion, Shen Zili felt a little emotionally the experience of going south all the way, seeing the pain of the hungry people, the officials of the corrupt officials protecting each other, the tired of the Qing officials for the people, and the common feelings of many people.
The moment Su Xin opened the door, she jumped in this direction of Shen Zili, Shen Zili was very happy to say hello to Su Xin, but who knows, a certain woman actually skipped her?! Well? Didn't she see such a big person standing in front of her?
Shen Zili was about to turn around and shout, "I'm here!" Seeing Su Xin hugging the Duanmu Shadow Owl behind her, Shen Zili almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, what kind of person is this, she has been separated from her for so long, she actually sees that she doesn't miss anything, miss something?!
Shen Zili suspected that she had probably taken the wrong script, and looked at Su Xin with some complaints, Su Xin also noticed the gaze behind her, turned around, and saw Shen Zili's puffed little face, hurriedly said hello, and said with a smile: "Xiaoli, you're back!" β
Shen Zili turned around arrogantly and walked into the Six Princes' Mansion, not planning to deal with this ungrateful villain anymore.
"Welcome to the six princesses!" When the subordinates saw Shen Zili walking in, they respectfully shouted in unison, Shen Zili nodded with satisfaction, and the anger of complaining about Su Xin in his heart also disappeared a lot. Su Xin hurriedly chased after him and said, "Xiaoli, you wait for me, it's okay if I'm wrong!" β
"Aren't you going to accompany your boyfriend, and what are you doing with me, aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will be jealous?" Shen Zili put her hands around her chest and said deliberately.
However, on the other side of the two kings' mansionsββββββ
Ai Li covered her nose and ran out of the guest room, pointed at Mu Xianyu, who was watching the joke at the door, and scolded: "Mu Xianyu, did you do it on purpose?!" Let me live in this kind of house, don't you have a guest room in the Second Wang's Mansion?! β
Mu Xianyu spread his hands and said, "No! Before I even came back, I had already called the people to fill the rest of the room with stuff, what? You don't think this house is good, huh? Then you can go to your father, I believe that my father will definitely arrange a good room for you! β
Ellie was so angry that she stomped her feet, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw cobwebs all over the place, and a rat's nest under the bed!!
"If it weren't for the Sixth Prince's Lord asking me to come to live with you, I wouldn't be willing to! That's how you entertain your guests?! You don't even have a good room, and you still ask someone to fill the other rooms, I think you did it on purpose! Ai Li scolded, but Mu Xianyu was still unmoved.
"You're still reasonable, if the sixth didn't let you come to live with me, I wouldn't be happy! Besides, who of the guests who came to visit my Second King's Mansion wanted to spend the night?! You can't stop it, you can't stop it! After Mu Xianyu finished speaking, he prepared to go back to his room to rest.
Ai Li picked up the burden on the ground, snorted at Mu Xianyu, and said, "Let's go, I won't keep this place of yours!" Mu Xianyu paused, turned around and glanced at Ai Li, who was about to leave, and had no intention of staying, after a glance, he turned around.
Mu Xianyu waved his hand to the butler behind him and said, "Butler! The butler's discerning calves ran up, and Mu Xianyu approached the butler and asked in a low voice, "You help me take a look, is she gone?" β
The housekeeper has taken care of Mu Xianyu for so many years, so he naturally understands Mu Xianyu's temperament, but he is just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and glanced behind him, the housekeeper coughed twice in embarrassment, and said to Mu Xianyu: "Lord Wang, inside, Princess Elle is back again!" β
After speaking, the housekeeper retreated behind Mu Xianyu.
"Smack!" When Elle walked to Mu Xianyu's side, she deliberately shook off the burden, so the burden fell on Mu Xianyu's head!
Ai Li stopped, looked at the man who was covering his head and screaming, and said, "I'll just leave, wouldn't it be cheaper for you, I'm going to stay here and slowly tear down your Second Prince's Mansion!" After speaking, without waiting for Mu Xianyu to answer, he pointed to a subordinate behind Mu Xianyu and said, "You, take me to his room!" β
The subordinate didn't dare to step forward to show Elle the way, and when Elle saw this, she raised her voice again and said, "Are you leading the way?!" The butler touched the man's arm and whispered, "Did you hear that, Princess Elle asked you to lead the way in front!" Don't you see the eyes of the prince who dare to be angry and dare not speak, maybe this Princess Elle will be the mistress of our second prince's mansion in the near future! β
After listening to the housekeeper's words, the subordinate ran forward again and again, and said respectfully: "Princess Ellie, please come here!" Elle glanced at Mu Xianyu proudly, and followed the subordinate.
"Dead Ba Po! Stop me, didn't your queen mother tell you not to enter a man's house at will?! Mu Xianyu stood up and was about to step forward to chase Ellie, but he didn't want to be tripped by a stone under his feet and fall to the ground again.
Ai Li pushed open Mu Xianyu's door and walked in, the subordinate bowed to Ai Li, and said, "Princess, if you want to rest, rest for a while, and then cook and then come back to wake you up!" β
Elle lay down on the bed, waved her hand at the subordinate, and said, "I know, go down!" The servant exited the room and closed the door by the way.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Ellie stretched her waist, and before she took off her shoes, she just lay on the bed and fell asleep. After Mu Xianyu entered the room, he saw that Elle was sleeping on his bed, and he was about to wake her up, but this thought disappeared after seeing Elle turn over and smash her mouth.
Forget it, for your sake, I'll let you sleep in my bed today, and when you wake up, go back to your room!
After helping Ellie take off her shoes and correct her sleeping position, Mu Xianyu also felt a little tired, so ββββ lay on Ellie's side and fell asleep!
