Chapter Seventy-Three: Enchanting catkins
Feng Xuanyu Xu never thought that she would come out, she was a little surprised for a while, stunned, and forgot to push Jiang Xueke away.
Su Liruo secretly laughed bitterly in her heart: it turned out that she was self-inflicted and worried about it for a night, and how could he ever be a little unhappy in Huai's beauty?
It's just that his palm wrapped around Jiang Xueke's hand deeply pierced her heart, the warmth of the palm of Duyan Lake was her unforgettable attachment, she thought it was the only warmth that belonged to her, it turned out that he could give it to any woman?
Su Liruo bit her lip, holding back tears rolling in her eyes, her eyes staring at the hand in his palm, eager to step forward and break the tightly wrapped hand, as well as the person in his arms. Suddenly, a voice surged in his heart: she is his noble and beautiful side concubine, and you are just a concubine dedicated to him in a foreign country, with a humble status, but you want to be a couple for the rest of your life! Su Liruo, Su Liruo, it turns out that you have fallen and embarrassed so far, and you don't know it, how ridiculous!
She closed her gaze and stubbornly brushed her sleeves away, in fact, only she knew that such a move was nothing more than to hide the cruel truth told by the cold voice in her heart!
Feng Xuanyu frowned, let go of his palm, and pushed Jiang Xueke away: "I'll talk about it later!" As he spoke, he strode towards Mo Xuanju.
Jiang Xueke's heart was empty all of a sudden, her eyes looked at his back sadly, and she disappeared, and she was still stunned in place.
Su Liruo heard the footsteps behind her, her heart became more and more turbulent, she didn't want him to see her fragile side, she caught a glimpse of the willow branches in the garden, hurriedly reached out and grabbed the weeping willow, and with a swing, it fluttered in the air like a butterfly.
"Ruo'er..." Feng Xuanyu was shocked, seeing her hanging in the air, he hurriedly flew forward, just touched the corner of her clothes, but floated by.
Su Liruo's light body was enchanting among the willow trees, flying elegantly through the catkins, and never let Feng Xuanyu get closer.
Feng Xuanyu was worried about her safety, and he didn't dare to force her too close: "Ruo'er, don't make trouble, it's too dangerous!"
Su Liruo became more and more aggrieved, gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, spun around, and swung hard towards the catkins by the pond, her slender body was like a fallen leaf drifting in the wind, crossing a gorgeous arc in the air, stunning the night shadows who heard the sound.
Feng Xuanyu's heart sank, and he quickly leaped away, intercepting her in mid-air, holding her plain hand with one hand and holding her into his arms with the other.
"Don't touch me!" Su Liruo struggled, but he couldn't pull out the hand he was holding tightly, thinking that he had just hugged Jiang Xueke, he was already angry in his heart, and lowered his head and bit his hand fiercely.
Feng Xuanyu was stunned, stunned and let her bite, until blood was pouring on the back of his hand, and he felt a piercing pain.
Su Liruo's mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and she let go in a panic, staring at the blurred flesh and blood on the back of her hand, but she still held her hand, and the hand around her waist was also tightly held, her tears could no longer hold back, and puffed down.
Feng Xuanyu stared at her with fixed eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a slight smile: It turns out that she is jealous! Suddenly, he was so happy that he forgot the bloody pain in the back of his hand, and asked softly, "Is Ruo'er's anger gone?"
Su Liruo's face was stained with tears, biting his lip and not speaking, and his lips were stained with blood on the back of his hand.
Feng Xuanyu leaned down and kissed her bloody lips, but she unexpectedly didn't struggle, submitting to his kiss. At this moment, her vulnerability was gone, and perhaps she just wanted to soak up this moment of restraint and forget about the disturbances.
In the garden, the night shadow stared blankly at the two people on the suspended willow tree, and after a while, he pulled Xiao Wei, who was flushed, and walked away. Naluo coughed lightly to pretend to be embarrassed, turned around with his hands behind his back, and scratched the back of his ears, hehe laughed dryly, and slipped away in a hurry, if the owner knew that they were watching and peeping, they would be miserable!
Su Liruo had been kissed so faint that she collapsed in his arms, and it wasn't until Feng Xuanyu landed firmly in her arms and returned to the inner room that she suddenly came back to her senses and remembered the wound on the back of his hand.
Feng Xuanyu fixed his gaze at her who was bandaging his wound with low eyes, and his hands trembled cautiously and slightly, and he couldn't tie the bandage several times. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's okay! It doesn't hurt. ”
Su Liruo's hand was stunned, and there was a sharp pain in her heart, she remembered the sword wound on his chest, which must have been a thousand times more painful than this, her eyes suddenly turned red again, and tears were shining. She sniffed and reached into his chest, a scar touched her palm, and she shook her hands, and she didn't have the courage to touch them, not even the strength to pull out her hand.
Feng Xuanyu's palm covered the back of her hand, pulled it out gently, stared at her, and said in a low voice: "As long as Ruo'er doesn't leave, it doesn't matter how many injuries you get!"
"No!" Su Liruo's tears burst out of her eyes instantly, she covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered: "I will never hurt you again in this life!"
Feng Xuanyu looked at her with teary eyes, hugged her tightly, and whispered emotionally: "Ruo'er!"
The tenderness of a room melts two tormented hearts, swings away the helplessness of grief, and temporarily relieves all resentment, love, and all estrangement.
However, a few days later, Su Liruo's just calm heart was once again in turmoil.
Early in the morning, Emperor Entropy summoned Feng Xuanyu into the palace, and in Huiren Palace, Feng Xuanyu saw the envoy of the day country who was full of dignity and dignity.
The envoy of the Kingdom of the Sun also looked at the indifferent and arrogant king of Yi in front of him, his handsome face was evil and arrogant, he didn't take him in his eyes at all, glanced at him coldly, and turned indifferently to salute Emperor Entropy: "What is the matter with my father summoning his sons?"
Emperor Entropy hadn't seen him since he was injured, and he had ordered him to recuperate, but he couldn't withstand the pleas of the envoys of the Day. Emperor Entropy thought about it again and again, and decided to summon Feng Xuanyu into the palace first, and only after asking for his opinion did he dare to agree to the request of the envoy of the Daylight Kingdom.
"Come, Yu'er, get acquainted, this is the envoy of the Day Kingdom to escort the tribute." Emperor Entropy got up from his seat and walked in front of the two.
"I have heard the name of the king of Yi for a long time, and today I am fortunate to see the true face of Lushan, and it is indeed a dragon among people." The envoy of the day kingdom clasped his fists and saluted, although his words were humble and flattering, his tone was unpleasant.
Feng Xuanyu squinted, looked coldly, and greeted slightly, and said proudly: "If the father and emperor have no important matters, the son will leave!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and wanted to turn away.
"Yu'er and slow!"
"The king of Yi stays!"
Emperor Entropy hurriedly spoke up, and at the same time, the envoy of the Day Kingdom also spoke anxiously.
Feng Xuanyu paused and turned back slowly, his cold face was instantly gloomy, and his deep eyes were extremely sharp. "What the hell is going on?"
"Oh, that's right, to see Liruo and see if she's okay here?" Emperor Entropy raised his voice gently, but seeing that his face was gloomy, he hurriedly said: "This is also the norm for people!" I wonder if Yu'er can agree? ”
"Please make it convenient for the king of Yi to meet with her!" The envoy of the day country said: "It's okay to go back with confidence and tell Your Majesty."
"No way!" Feng Xuanyu said coldly: "Since the Sun Kingdom has abandoned her as a gift, but she behaves like this, it is extremely hateful!" Not afraid of humiliating the country's reputation? Now that she is the master of this palace, no one wants to disturb her! You... Not qualified to see her. ”
Emperor Entropy was stunned, although he knew that he had always been cold and arrogant, he was still surprised by his arrogant attitude, after all, the two countries were friendly and peaceful, and it was not appropriate for him to refuse so arrogantly.
The envoy of the day country was also stunned, Xu never thought that Feng Xuanyu would be so arrogant, without mercy, refused, and reprimanded and humiliated. He gritted his teeth, forcibly endured his indignation, and said: "What the king of Yi said is wrong, the friends of the two countries should not distinguish each other, my country has not abandoned her like a thing, and dedicated to your country is its own noble treasure, the best in the world, and I hope that the king of Yi will not insult people with his handle, and waste a piece of sincerity in our country!"
Feng Xuanyu looked at him with deep eyes, for a long time, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with mockery: "Since the two countries are friends, regardless of each other, what else is there to worry about?" Do you have to see each other? Isn't such insistence suspicious that the king has slackened her? Or wronged her? ”
"This..."The envoy of the Kingdom of the Sun was silent for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then approached and pleaded: "The king of Yi is angry! Fang Cai's words were inappropriate, and he looked at Haihan. This envoy has known to her, and now she happens to come to your country, it is appropriate to visit her, please let the king of Yi fulfill it! ”
"When you come to my big month, you should learn and obey the law, and my big month is not an open country, and there is no informality. Where did the man who came to see the king so anxious put his face on him? Feng Xuanyu didn't eat hard and soft at all, rejected it coldly, and left arrogantly.
The face of the envoy of the day country changed greatly, and he almost couldn't help but be angry, but he gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Emperor Entropy couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to return to his seat, watched Feng Xuanyu leave coldly, and said a little helplessly: "Prince Li doesn't play tricks, this prince of mine!" The temperament is not like ordinary people, biased and arrogant! However, Prince Li can rest assured that although he is arrogant, he is extremely fond of the beauty of your country, and I believe that he will not be wronged by her. ”
This person is none other than Li Moxiao, the prince of the Sun Kingdom!
He had long been angry with hatred in his heart, but he knew that he was in a foreign country and should not be reckless, otherwise it would inevitably cause a war between the two countries. As soon as he remembered that Su Liruo was committed to being a concubine, he was heartbroken and could not suppress his indignation.
Li Moxiao said goodbye to Emperor Entropy and returned to a living room in the side hall of the palace. Zhao Zimo immediately greeted him, and when he saw his dark face, he understood a little in his heart.
"What? The king of Yi refuses? Although Zhao Zimo had a guess in his heart, he still didn't give up and asked.
"If you don't want to, it's just arrogant!" Li Moxiao held back his anger and said angrily.
Zhao Zimo's heart sank, and said: "The king of Yi is so unreasonable, how can Li Ruo not be wronged?"
Li Moxiao slapped the copywriter angrily, and said hatefully: "He took away my love, like stripping my heart, if he doesn't bring it back this time, this prince will never give up!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be bored! This matter must be considered in the long term. Zhao Zimo said busily.
Li Moxiao sat down dejectedly, sighed with his forehead, and muttered sadly: "Liruo... Wait, I'll save you from the sea of misery..."
Zhao Zimo looked at Li Moxiao worriedly, and a faint sense of foreboding surged in his heart, always feeling that the consequences of this adventure to the Moon Country were unpredictable and dangerous.
A month ago, Emperor Zhen summoned Zhao Yue into the palace to discuss, taking advantage of the good harvest of Yunchunbi, he could offer an annual tribute in advance.
It is said that since Li Moxiao was rejected by Su Liruo, he was deeply in love, unable to extricate himself, immersed in thought, and decided to abolish the concubines and drive away all the concubines and concubines of the prince's mansion.
Unexpectedly, it caused an uproar, after all, his concubines and concubines were all from famous families, and Li Moxiao's shocking behavior not only angered the courtiers, but also embarrassed the face of the famous Houfu!
In the court, the ministers played the prince's absurd behavior, and Emperor Zhen was dizzy by the quarrel of the ministers, and he was furious Xuan Li Mo Xiao went to the palace to explain. Who knows, he actually spoke eloquently, and swore that he was only willing to join hands with one person in this life.
Emperor Zhen and all the ministers were shocked and stunned, and some courtiers proposed to invite the Buddhist master to exorcise evil spirits.
Only Zhao Yue knew that this matter was caused by Su Liruo, in order to avoid the seriousness of the situation, he had to confess to Emperor Zhen that Li Moxiao's abnormality was because of Su Liruo, and said that Su Liruo was his righteous daughter, hoping to avoid a catastrophe.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhen was furious and said angrily that this woman was a disaster and could not be kept. Zhao Yue knew that Emperor Zhen had a thorn in his heart, because he couldn't get along with Yuguo back then, and Emperor Zhen, who was the crown prince at that time, raised troops to fight, and the two countries fought for a month because of a woman, and finally ended in a miserable defeat. As a last resort, he formed an alliance with the Moon State, relied on his power, sought refuge, and cut off the prying eyes of his neighbors.
At this point, Emperor Zhen was strict with himself, did not dare to indulge in women's sex, specialized in political affairs, there were few concubines in the harem, and there were few heirs, only the prince Li Moxiao and the three princesses.
Zhao Yue thought about it again and again, in order to save Su Liruo from disaster, he made a suggestion, the day of tribute to the Moon Kingdom is approaching, and he has not yet found a suitable beauty to offer, so it is better to dedicate Su Liruo to the Moon Kingdom, which not only prevents the prince's rash actions from making him die, but also solves the tribute gift.
When Emperor Zhen heard this, Long Yan was happy, so he asked Zhao Yue to implement it immediately and quickly send Su Liruo away.
When Zhao Yue secretly sent Su Liruo away, not long after, Li Moxiao found that Su Liruo was gone, and he was anxious, frantically looking for her trace, but found nothing.
Since then, Li Moxiao has been depressed and desolate, depressed, and obsessed with Su Liruo. Until last month, he overheard Zhao Yue talking to Emperor Zhen about Su Liruo's dedication to the Yue Kingdom, and Emperor Entropy did not include it in the harem, but gave the seventh prince King Yi as a concubine.
Li Moxiao was almost mad with anger, and when he thought about it calmly, he had come to this point, and rash recklessness would only be a bad thing, so he decided to plan it. He found Zhao Zimo, and after some discussion, he finally finalized the half-way abduction, pretending to be an envoy to go to the Moon Kingdom, so that he could get close to Su Liruo and wait for the opportunity to save her from the Moon Kingdom.
When he came to the Moon Kingdom, in order to stay in the palace, Li Moxiao concealed the half-way hijacking envoy, but Emperor Daozhen was grateful to the Moon Kingdom for many years of shelter, and sent the prince to personally serve as the escort tribute envoy, talking about the strength of the friendship between the two countries, and nothing more than two hearts. And implore Emperor Entropy to hide his identity so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Emperor Entropy, who didn't know the truth of the matter, saw that Li Mo Xiao Xuan was majestic, personable, and sincere, and he was very appreciative.
Seeing that he had been staying in the palace for a while, if he couldn't find out Su Liruo's whereabouts, he was afraid that it would arouse Emperor Entropy's suspicions. Li Moxiao and Zhao Zimo decided to take a risk, and when night came, the two changed into night clothes and covered their faces, and jumped out of the palace to act separately.
After a few nights of exploration, the princess's mansion, Lingwang's mansion, and Wutong Palace were excluded, and finally Su Liruo was still in the Yi Wang's Mansion, and rarely walked around the mansion.
Li Moxiao and Zhao Zimo thought that Su Liruo must have been imprisoned in the mansion by the King of Yi, so he rarely showed up.
That night, it was late at night, and the two sneaked into the palace of the king of Yi, but they were nowhere to be found. Entered the Ningyan Pavilion, grabbed the maidservant and asked, Fang knew that Su Liruo lived in Moxuanju, then expectedly, the two of them were intercepted by the night shadow as soon as they entered Moxuanju, and after a fight, Naluo and Zhijian were alarmed, and the two of them looked bad, so they had to flee in a daze. Halfway through, Zhao Zimo escorted Li Moxiao to escape, lured away the night shadow that was chasing after him, and jumped into the princess's mansion.
Night Shadow was not at ease, so he had to knock on the door, and it became clear that an assassin had broken into the princess's mansion, and Dechun heard that there was an assassin, so he immediately ordered the palace guards to search carefully to ensure the safety of the eighth princess and the ninth prince.
Seeing that the eldest princess was frightened, Night Shadow comforted her, so she helped search and took the lead in Feng Xuansheng's room, and there was nothing abnormal. When Feng Xuansheng heard that an assassin had strayed into the house, he was not afraid, but participated in the search with great interest.
Night Shadow took Feng Xuansheng to Jiahui's room, knocked on the door for a long time, and the personal maid opened the door and asked what was the matter. Night Shadow was inconvenient to enter the princess's boudoir, and motioned for Feng Xuansheng to go in and check.
Jiahui lay on the bed, wrapped in the futon to prop up half of her body, rubbed her hazy eyes and said, "This is a good time to sleep, why are you shouting to catch the assassin?"
"Eighth sister, go to sleep with peace of mind, Sheng'er and check indoors in case of accidents." Feng Xuansheng pretended to be sophisticated, searched it again, and then exited the room with confidence.
Jiahui saw that the footsteps outside were far away, put down the curtain, and lifted the futon sideways, Zhao Zimo was sweating profusely and revealing his head. At a glance, I caught a glimpse of Jiahui's thin and obscene clothes, it was the height of summer, her delicate body loomed, her face was flushed, and her heart was beating like a drum.
