Chapter 36: For whom the red candle burns tonight?
"Alas...... This King of Qin" Empress showed a worried face, and now she could only turn into a helpless sigh. That's all she can do, and the rest depends on God's will.
"You don't want to wander around outside the palace like crazy, and you're going to go back to the palace with the palace early today. The dignified princess of the Western Qin Kingdom, wandering around all day long and causing trouble, what kind of system will it become" The queen suddenly reprimanded Xuanyuan Yuedao.
"Yes, Erchen obeys orders," Xuanyuan Yue had no choice but to pout, but said reluctantly in his heart. It's just that I'm still suspicious and worried, "Yun'er has no news yet, and I don't know if Uncle Qin Huang has chased the assassin or not, and whether he has saved Yun'er." Yun'er's identity is simple, what is this assassin doing kidnapping her?
It was late at night, and the guests who participated in the wedding ceremony in King Qin's mansion also dispersed one after another, but King Qin did not appear at the banquet from beginning to end.
At this time, in the Bright Moon Pavilion of the Joy Room, the room was red and festive.
On the table, a pair of flaming dragon and phoenix red candles are swaying, dancing with the wind.
"The book of the wild goose, the fish passes the ruler", the palace also specially customized several sets of finely made goose fish lamps for this wedding, so that the rendering in the palace exudes a strong romantic feeling.
In the dormitory, Mei Xiyuan was wearing the big red Xipa with the dragon and phoenix embroidery pattern on her head, sitting alone on the edge of the couch, full of joy and waiting for her long-awaited Ruyi Langjun to come and lift it up to drink with her, holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son.
The so-called "ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs" Mei Xiyuan is not particularly aware of the marriage customs of the Western Qin Kingdom, at this moment she only knows that she is full of lovesickness and anticipation with enthusiasm has entered the gate of the Qin Palace, entered the palace of Qin King Xuanyuan Han, and became the princess of Qin that all women in the world dream of.
And this moment is the night of candles in the cave room that she has been waiting for for a long time.
Tonight, the red candle is only for her.
......
It was night, in a remote and quiet house in the city, under the dim candlelight, the clothes were lying quietly on the bed and falling asleep.
A man dressed in a purple suit with half a bundle of black hair was sitting in front of the couch and took out a mysterious jade-colored medicine bottle and landed it in front of the thin face of the clothed cloud.
I saw that as soon as the man opened the cap of the jade medicine bottle in his hand, he immediately emitted bursts of purple gas like smoke and mist, which was instantly inhaled by the seven-hole acupuncture points on the clouds.
Then I heard the man whisper in a very gentle voice, "Girl, girl"
At this time, Yi Shangyun slowly opened her closed eyes, and as soon as her eyes were all opened, she immediately noticed that what appeared in front of her was a face that she could no longer be familiar with.
The "three less" turned out to be Yi Sanshao and Yi Junhao.
"How are you?"
"Where is this?"
"How did I end up here?"
Yishang Yun just woke up, still a little drowsy. She slowly got up and looked around, which was not familiar to her. She asked, a little pale and feeble, hurriedly.
"Girl, don't worry, this place is very hidden, and no one will find out."
"Sanshao, how could I be here. King Qin's wedding, didn't I accompany Princess Yue to watch the ceremony in King Qin's mansion? Yi Shangyun asked weakly and anxiously.
"Girl, do you know that if it weren't for me today, I'm afraid you would be in a coma like you did in Yifu in the past" Yi Junhao said with some complaint and anger, he always had a premonition that this girl was with that King Qin, and there was always nothing good.
Seeing that Yi Junhao was annoyed, Yishang Yun said with a lot of sincerity in his words, "Sanshao, I know that you have always been very good to me, Yun'er thank you."
"What's the use of just saying thank you, I, Yi Junhao, don't lack these words" Yi Junhao's seemingly cannonball-like temper flared up again, and he quickly got up with a displeased face, shook his sleeve, and blurted out this sentence that was more like a complaint.
Yi Shangyun asked himself that Yi Junhao had always given him endless help, and he really had nothing else to express except to say thank you, seeing that Yi Junhao was even more annoyed with her, he had to lower his head and be silent with a face of disappointment and shame, and no longer spoke.
Yi Junhao also seemed to find that his unintentional words had hurt Yi Shangyun, so he immediately changed his face and said, "Okay, okay, I think I, Yi Sanshao, must have owed you in my previous life, and God will punish me to repay my debts in this life." Now, as long as you wake up, it's better than anything else."
Yi Shangyun heard Yi Junhao's tone of words improve, and only then did he raise his head again and smile softly at him.
"A smile is worth a thousand gold," Yi Junhao also replied to her, and smiled at each other, not against her heart.
Cheng Liang saw Xuanyuan Han chasing the assassin alone, so he hurriedly brought several palace guards to follow him.
At this time, he had already chased half of the imperial city with Xuanyuan Han to this point, but suddenly there was no trace of the assassin holding the clothes on the clouds.
"Search the king door to door, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out the clothed medicine girl unscathed," Xuanyuan Han ordered as if angry.
Seeing the situation, Cheng Liang hurriedly received orders to deploy men and horses to act separately.
And Xuanyuan Han glanced around, and found that at the door of an extremely hidden house on the corner of the street, a white magnolia tree had fallen a woman's silver hairpin.
He walked over and gently picked it up, it was a long tassel hairpin with two peach blossoms embedded in it. As if he had seen it somewhere, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the house, and stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Yishangyun suddenly heard a "squeak" in the yard, so he said to Yi Junhao, "It seems that someone has come in."
Immediately, the sound of footsteps that seemed to be men came out, and Yi Junhao immediately flew to the window and peeked out. As soon as he saw the visitor, he muttered angrily, "Sure enough, it's that ice cube face again, you can't get rid of it, it's as difficult as a dog skin plaster, and you can find it in such a secret place, it seems that I really underestimate him."
He quickly went over and picked up Yi Shangyun from the bed, but he didn't want Yi Shangyun to get up quickly and get off the bed after all, his physical strength had not yet recovered, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Yi Junhao instantly hugged his waist and hugged him closely.
And at this moment, Xuanyuan Han pushed the door in. Seeing Yi Junhao holding the small waist of the cloud on his body and sticking it to him, his eyes immediately widened and he was full of a murderous aura that was full of coldness.
I saw that he quickly raised the saber that had been prepared in his hand when he first entered the door, and stabbed it in the direction of Yi Junhao's middle direction, and Yishangyun stretched out his arms when he saw the situation, and hurriedly turned around and used his thin body to block Yi Junhao's front.
Xuanyuan Han saw that she seemed to instinctively block the sword for Yi Junhao head-on, and immediately the sword deflected but it was too late, and the tip of the sword pierced straight into the shoulder of Yi Shangyun, and blood instantly seeped out of her thin and old winter jacket.
"Girl," Yi Junhao's eyes widened and he shouted in surprise.
Xuanyuan Han was also shocked, and hurriedly drew his sword and stepped forward to take her body back and hug her tightly into his arms.
"Your Highness, don't kill him, let him go" The first time the clothes fell to the ground, he was still helping Yi Junhao intercede. At this time, she sat on the ground with a pale face, and Xuanyuan Han held her and looked at the person in her arms in distress.
I saw that he raised his eyes but didn't look at Yi Junhao, and only said angrily, "Why don't you get out of here, wait for this king to regret it?" ”
Yi Shangyun covered the wound of the sword stab with one hand, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Yi Junhao with almost pleading eyes, signaling him to leave quickly.
Outside, Cheng Liang and the others also heard the movement here and hurried over.
Yi Junhao realized that this situation was very unfavorable to him, so he widened his eyes and frowned, and then reluctantly grabbed the door and left. Yi Shangyun finally couldn't bear the successive injuries and fainted again in Xuanyuan Han's arms.
"Yun'er, Yun'er" Xuanyuan Han called out with a worried face when he saw that she was already unconscious.
"Your Highness, it's too late for your subordinates" As soon as Cheng Liang led people into the house, he saw a large pool of blood on the shoulders of the clouds on his clothes and exclaimed.
Xuanyuan Han picked her up horizontally, and as soon as he went out, he grabbed his clothes and hurriedly got on his horse and rode towards the Qin Palace. Cheng Liang looked stunned and followed.
Before you know it, it's almost dawn.
In the Mingyue Xuan, the dormitory of Xuanyuan Han of the Qin Palace, Mei Xiyuan was still sitting on the couch waiting for her husband.
She had waited all night for him to come back and drink with her, and then the candles in the cave.
Suddenly hearing the sound of the door opening the door, she happily rearranged and sat down.
I saw Mama Zhao walk in, and she had been in and out several times in one night. Every time Mei Xiyuan heard the sound, she would rearrange and sit upright, but every time it was just Mama Zhao in the end, and then she just sighed in disappointment.
"Princess, rest for a while," Mama Zhao comforted distressedly.
Seeing that Mei Xiyuan was silent, Mama Zhao said angrily, "This King of Western Qin and Qin is really too much. On the wedding night, I dare to snub my princess of Dongning Kingdom so much, the old slave must tell His Majesty and the queen about this matter, and let them call the shots."
"Mama Zhao, don't do it" Mei Xiyuan sat all night, and finally spoke at this moment.
"Princess, yesterday's wedding, the king of Western Qin and Qin didn't come forward to greet him, even if he didn't show his face on the night of the candle in the cave room, how can people bear it? Isn't this sincere to embarrass the princess and Dongning Kingdom?" Mama Zhao said angrily.
"Mama Zhao, since the eighth sedan chair of the King of Qin in Western Qin has welcomed this princess into the Qin Palace, how can this princess go out again easily. Besides, since we have entered the wedding room, no matter what, he and I are already husband and wife, how can we sort out the reason between husband and wife," Mei Xiyuan said meaningfully.
"But princess, you have only been loved by thousands of people since you were a child, how could you have been so wronged," Mama Zhao said indignantly as she wiped away her distressed tears.
"Mama doesn't need to say much, people must learn to grow up, and they must grow up, and this princess can't always be pampered in the palm of her hand by her father and queen mother for a lifetime. King Qin and I have been coming for a long time, or maybe he is really stumped by something, I don't know? Mei Xiyuan still comforted herself with a glimmer of hope.
Then, I only heard a long sigh from Mama Zhao in the house.
The red candle burned out, and finally dawned.
Mei Xiyuan took off the big red hijab of the dragon and phoenix embroidery pattern on her head, and slowly raised her head.
I finally saw this dormitory that haunted her countless days and nights, noble, solemn, comfortable and luxurious.
She gently rolled up her sleeves and looked at the red dot on the jade arm and the dazzling cinnabar mole for a long time.
The maid who accompanied the marriage was accompanied by Mama Zhao to help Mei Xiyuan take off the extremely luxurious wedding makeup, and was ready to enter the palace later to meet the Empress Dowager of Western Qin.
Suddenly, she picked up the white and flawless red and white handkerchief on the bed and stared at it for a long time, then handed it to Mama Zhao, who reached out and took it and put it away.
This side will fall red and white and so on......
