Chapter 44: The Storm Rises Again
Ruoxin didn't look at him, but just walked up to Bai Ruoyin, slammed her to the ground, and said, "I beg the high priest to save Bai Rong's life." ”
She knows Bai Rong's personality, from beginning to end, she is indeed the only one in his heart, and she is moved and relieved by the affection she guards with her life. However, what she hoped for was not the joy of morning and twilight, but the long-lasting happiness of companionship. If she doesn't even have her life, then what is her current insistence, insisting on having her own body, and her efforts to stay with her beloved?
She was moved by Bai Rong's firmness towards her, but she didn't want him to cut off the future of the two because of his temporary stubbornness.
Bai Ruoyin looked at her quietly.
To be honest, she didn't mean to save Bai Rong, with Bai Rong's current situation, if she wanted to save his life, she was afraid that she would have to consume a lot of energy, which would inevitably have an impact on the royal sacrifice after noon.
Several elders outside the stands looked at each other a few times, as if they were worried, but then looked at the situation in front of them and did not speak.
In the silence, a few hurried footsteps came, Bai Ruxue ran into the stands with her skirt up, handed a roll of cloth in her hand to Bai Ruoyin, and said slightly breathlessly: "High Priest, this is what Brother Huangfu wants me to hand over to you." ”
is different from the past mode of getting along with Ruoxin, Bai Ruxue is extremely respectful to Bai Ruoyin, has a humble attitude, and does not dare to make the slightest mistake. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Ruoxin, who was standing in front of her with a solemn expression, and slowly looked away.
Bai Ruoyin took the cloth in her hand, and lightly swept Bai Ruxue's slightly flushed face, her watery eyes and an obviously excited look. She lowered her eyes slowly, and said in a flat tone, "He's not someone you can climb. ”
Although it was not specified, Bai Ruxue already knew it, and her pretty face became pale in an instant, she clenched her fists, lowered her head, and said with some difficulty: "Ruxue doesn't dare." ”
Bai Ruoyin only mentioned one sentence and did not say more. She already knew Bai Ruxue's admiration for Huangfuxian. Even if she lives with her in King Xian's mansion now, when Bai Ruxue saw Huangfu Xian, she still couldn't hide the admiration in her heart. She didn't have jealousy or anything else about it, but Bai Ruxue was too simple, and the current Huangfu Xian was really not the Ying Zhongyang of the past, he was like a sharp weapon hidden in the shadows, no one knew where the sharp weapon was directed, and I didn't know if the sharp weapon would hurt the people close to him. Even she can't see through Huang Fuxian, she is only afraid that she is as simple as Bai Ruxue, too close, and she will only be hurt in the end.
Unfold the cloth, and there are only two words in it, "save people".
It is indeed the handwriting of Huangfu Xian, there is no doubt. Did he want her to save Bai Rong?
Bai Ruoyin groaned slightly.
Several elders outside the stands seemed to hesitate when they saw Bai Ruoyin's expression, looked at each other a few times, and the great elder thought for a while, then walked up to Bai Ruoyin's side and whispered: "High priest, just a dead man, it is not worth the high priest's hard work." There is a royal sacrifice at noon, so the high priest should go and rest for a while. ”
Ruoxin raised her head violently, and her resentful gaze approached the Great Elder, who didn't look at her, but just stood quietly beside Bai Ruoyin with his hands down.
Seeing Bai Ruoyin's cold expression, Ruoxin was sad, but she didn't want to give up, she knelt on the ground and said in a dumb voice: "Ask the high priest." ”
King Yingning, who had been quietly leaning on the side and watching since Bai Ruoyin came in, finally made a move after seeing Ruoxin kneeling.
He glanced at the Bai clan people, walked behind Ruoxin, put his hands on her shoulders to help her get up, and said at the same time: "Get up and talk about it." ”
It was also the first time that King Ying Ning saw Ruoxin and Bai Ruoyin appear in front of him together, and he was indeed shocked at first glance. To say that there is indeed no difference in their faces, except for Bai Ruoyin's bulging abdomen that cannot be concealed, the two of them are like two parties reflected in a mirror, just a warm and a cold.
The hosta is black and shiny like satin. With a clear face, a silk and snow coat, the body seems to be surrounded by a light thin smoke, Bai Ruoyin has a temperament that ordinary people do not have, and the charm of the heart, as if the snow is clear, is indeed not as beautiful as the world.
Eyes swept to her abdomen, King Ying Ning sneered in his heart, even the priest of the Bu clan who could not be blasphemed, now he was in cahoots with Emperor Fuxian, and the secret fetus was knotted.
And......
King Ying Ning looked at Ruoxin, under the quiet sunlight, Ruoxin stood upright, her skirt fluttering leisurely in the wind, and the sadness on her face due to worry about her white face was moving.
Sure enough, he still felt that his princess looked more pleasing to the eye.
He has always been a person who protects his shortcomings, although he always makes fun of Bai Ruoxin on weekdays, at this time, he naturally still looks at Ruoxin, who is already his princess in name. Stretching out his hand and pressing on Ruoxin's shoulder, King Ying Ning said softly and slowly: "How can the princess of this king bend her knees to others. Especially those who have begged the royal brother to take him in like a lost dog. ”
Hearing King Yingning's implicit insulting words, the Great Elder's face stiffened, and he suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice: "Prince Ning, it's not that we begged the Holy Lord to take you in, have you forgotten that it was Prince Xian who led our clan back to Beijing?" ”
King Ying Ning chuckled lightly and raised his eyebrows, "What?" Now can't you use the emperor's uncle to suppress the king? King Ying Ning slowly swept the broken hair that was slightly scattered to his forehead, glanced at the group of people standing outside the stands, and said, "Uncle Huang's status is indeed noble, but what about you? Have you been outside for a long time and haven't gotten used to the rules in the Imperial City? Has no one taught you the etiquette to have when you see this king? ”
Several elders changed their complexions, looking at the sudden majesty of King Yingning, they could only kneel in front of King Yingning with their robes and knees, and bowed their heads and said, "We are rude, and please ask Prince Ning to surrender." ”
King Ying Ning hooked his lips and smiled lazily, "Well, for the sake of your acquaintance with this princess, I won't care about it this time." Lowering his eyes and glancing at Ruoxin, who was holding Bai Rong's hand tightly, King Ying Ning paused, and said, "However, this king has heard that the priests of the Bu clan are extraordinary, so don't they even have the ability to save people?" Could it be that you are a priest who has no real power in your name? ”
"How can you, my lord, slander the high priest like this?" Even if he was afraid of King Yingning's identity, his suspicion of the priest's words still aroused the anger of those elders.
Bai Ruoyin still had an indifferent and cold expression on her face, she raised her hand, eased the emotions of those people behind her who were depressed and couldn't express it, and there was no sadness on her face, but she said lightly: "Prince Ning, you don't need to provoke me in this way, I will naturally save those who can be saved, and I will not be shaken by the words of others, if I can't save it, even if Prince Ning satirizes millions of words, I still can't do it." ”
Ruoxin raised her head and looked at her with earnest eyes, always holding Bai Rong's hand and not letting go.
Bai Ruoyin looked sideways and looked out of the stands.
The sky is thin and cloudy, with rolling peaks and mountains, and mountains overlapping with no end in sight. In the vast green forest, she saw a silver-white and cold figure walking farther and farther away.
If you don't save Bai Rong, with Ruoxin's character, I'm afraid I won't try my best to find those artifacts.
Bai Ruoyin slowly lowered his gaze, he did understand Bai Ruoxin......
Walking to Bai Rong's side, Bai Ruoyin lightly put his hand between Bai Rong's forehead, closed his eyes, and silently recited a mantra in his mouth.
As time passed, Ruoxin was pleased to find that Bai Rong's complexion slowly turned normal, and her breathing was much more stable.
After a pillar of incense, Bai Ruoyin opened his eyes. After withdrawing her hand, she slowly exhaled a breath, with a slightly tired look on her face, she turned to Ruoxin and said softly: "I will save his life for the time being, but you must know that even so, if he doesn't follow me, he will only have three days to live." I'm just telling you the facts, and the final choice is up to you. ”
Bai Rong also regained his strength, he looked back at Ruoxin, although he was silent, there was a deep pleading in the depths of his dark eyes.
Ruoxin frowned, "But what can I do?" ”
Bai Ruoyin turned around, looked into the distance, and no longer saw the silver-white figure. After a moment of silence, Bai Ruoyin said calmly: "As long as you can find the four artifacts and reshape your human body, he can return to you." ”
King Ying Ning couldn't understand her strange words, but he frowned and didn't interject.
Bai Rong pressed his chest, and there was a slight pain on his handsome face, "Girl, I promised Bai Rong." ”
Ruoxin lowered her head and reached out to gently stroke Bai Rong's hair. After pondering for a moment, she said softly, "Bai Rong, believe me, okay?" I will definitely be back. You wait for me for five months, and if I can't find all those things, I'll come back, and we'll spend the last days together. You stay with the High Priest now, take good care of your body, and if I come back and you have any accident, I will never see you again. ”
Ruoxin said softly, but between the words, Bai Rong couldn't refuse, Bai Rong looked at Ruoxin with complicated eyes, and called with difficulty: "Girl......"
Knowing that Bai Rong had been persuaded by her, even if she was just forced to accept it, as long as she had endured these few months, they would no longer be separated.
There is some melancholy in my heart, but more of a persistent hope.
Ruoxin took one last look at Bai Rong, slowly withdrew her hands from his handsome and resolute face, and stood up.
"High priest, Bai Rong asked the high priest to take care of it, Ruoxin is grateful."
Bai Ruoyin was still on his back, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he responded lightly.
Ruoxin was relieved.
"Girl......"
Turning around, ignoring the pain in Bai Rong's tone, Ruoxin left without pause.
Walking out of the stands, Xian Yu stood quietly and waited outside.
Glancing at Ruoxin, who had a calm expression, King Ying Ning said to Xian Yu: "If you go and talk to the emperor again, you will say that this king will send the princess back to the house first." ”
"Yes." Xian Yu responded respectfully.
......
Sitting in the eight-wheeled carriage that responded to King Ning's mansion, Ruoxin didn't say a word, just leaned quietly on the wall of the carriage, only the regular sound of horses' hooves and wheels in her ears. King Ying Ning didn't ask much in a rare way, and sat on the seat with his eyes closed, as if he was pondering.
Halfway through the carriage, it gradually stopped.
King Ying Ning slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xian Yu rode his horse close to the carriage and said, "Lord, someone in front of the convoy asked to see the princess. ”
Ruoxin turned her head to look at King Yingning, and when she saw that he had a look of being at ease with you, she lifted the curtain and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a man in Tsing Yi blocked by several guards outside the convoy and rushed to the carriage, knelt down in front of her, and shouted in an anxious tone: "Miss Ruoxin, please save your son." ”
