5. Rest
The next day, when the emperor heard about this, Long Yan was furious. The Assassins came and went freely in the harem, which was an absolute flouty of the royal family. The emperor's family is the most ruthless. Obviously, his concubine was frightened, some of the eunuchs and palace maids died, and the rest of the people were even more worried, but what he cared about most was always the face of the royal family.
So, Wei Wuxian received the punishment. With all the Royal Guards re-drilled, the night was even more vigilant. The emperor also gave gold, silver and countless jewelry, saying that it was to suppress Zhaoyi Niangniang. But he never thought of stepping into Yaohua Palace to comfort him personally.
Xia Li's heart was cold.
Although he didn't have much hope, this kind of life was definitely not something Xia Li could accept. Alone in this deep palace, watch out everywhere, where is the head.
Although Wei Wuxian wanted Xia Li to rest assured, he personally led the patrol every night. But Xia Li was still a little scared. It's not that she's worried about herself, she doesn't want others to have an accident because of her.
Luo'er sighed when she saw Xia Li's sad face, and couldn't help but persuade her: "Niangniang, don't worry. Since Commander Wei reassures us, we should trust him. The bad guys have their own heavenly harvest, their mothers are blessed, and they are blessed by the gods. Besides, Luo'er has always been by her mother's side, even if she dies, she must desperately protect her mother! ”
Xia Li was so anxious that he hurriedly said: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" Luo'er, you must remember that this palace has long regarded you as a sister. On the days of entering the palace, it is also thanks to you being by the side of the palace. If someone hurts you, this palace will naturally let him fight with his life! I don't know what the purpose of the villain is, recently, you can sleep with this palace for the time being. Xia Li rubbed her forehead, her eyebrows and eyes were full of exhaustion.
was originally a beautiful face, but now there is a trace of helplessness and guilt. Luo'er was extremely distressed, so she made the bed immediately, and Xia Li lay down in her clothes. The two of them were lying on the bed, but each had their own thoughts. It was late at night, but no one was asleep.
"Luo'er, are you asleep?" Xia Li asked first. Now, she has a little fear of the dark. It's not that I'm afraid of those people in black, but I'm afraid that I will suddenly hear that shrill cry, such as 'Niangniang, something is wrong' or something like that. It always makes her heart hang high and she can't find a place to put it.
"No, I don't. Why hasn't Miss fallen asleep yet? The night was already deep. Luo'er's voice didn't want to babble during the day. Although she is sometimes stupid, she is still smart at the critical moment. Whispering softly obviously made Xia Li more relaxed.
"I think a lot. Has the emperor seen me? Why did you suddenly call me Zhaoyi, but you never saw me. I hate him sometimes..."Before Xia Li could finish speaking, Luo'er hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Mother, be careful that the wall has ears! You can't talk nonsense! Although Luo'er doesn't know why, but since she has entered the palace, what Niangniang has to do is to sail carefully on the 10,000-year-old boat. Not to mention the safety of the mother herself, if something happens to the mother, I'm afraid the lord will not have a good time in the previous dynasty. Luo'er knows these truths well, so she reminds Xia Li all the time.
Although Xia Li has always been out of the door, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also very smart, but she is a person with a personality. This is a taboo in the palace! If you're not careful, you'll pay the price for your impulses.
The gleam in Xia Li's eyes suddenly darkened. That's it. I don't even have the freedom to speak, everything is restricted, and now I and the people around me have problems with the safety of but can't find anyone, and the future husband has never even met him, let alone listened to him comfort himself.
Xia Li sighed faintly. Somehow, Wei Wuxian's face suddenly flashed in her mind. Even if it's just a simple sentence of 'don't be afraid', it seems to be able to inject strength into her weak body.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xia Li opened her eyes that seemed to be asleep, and looked up at the window. Xia Li lifted the quilt and sat up, wanting to get up and take a look, but before she could get up, Luo'er, who was sleeping outside, opened her eyes, and when she saw Xia Li sitting up, she said anxiously: "Niangniang, why are you up?" It's still early, what do you want? The slave and maid will go and get it for you. ”
Xia Li shook his head and said, "You sleep for a while, I'll just sleep well, think about it." Then you can sleep a little longer. Where can Luo'er sleep again, hurriedly put on her clothes and waited for Xia Li to dress.
After Xia Li cleaned up, he hurriedly walked out of the door to take a look, only to see that the bamboo outside the window was growing in full bloom, the wind was blowing, and the bamboo was swinging its trunk elegantly, which made people look at it with indescribable elegance. It didn't take long for Luo'er to come out and urge her to have breakfast, Xia Li lazily picked up the chopsticks, ate a little simply, and ordered someone to take it down. Xia Li entered the inner room, picked out a plain but not particularly outstanding dress to change into, put on a little makeup, and took Luo'er to prepare to go out to practice dancing.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a eunuch shouted, "Li Zhaoyi takes the order." Xia Li hurried to the outside and knelt on the ground, which turned out to be the little gold beside the emperor.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said. Li Zhaoyi was frightened and unwell, and the emperor was sympathetic and allowed to recuperate. The eunuch who announced the decree glanced at Li Zhaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Please Zhaoyi Niangniang accept the decree." ”
Xia Li took the order and got up, smiling modestly, "Thank you Gonggong Jin for this trip, thank you for your hard work." After speaking, he glanced at Luo'er, Luo'er understood, took out a bulging brocade bag from his sleeve, and handed it to Gonggong Jin with both hands.
Gonggong Jin took it in his hand, immediately smiled, and said a thousand words to Li Zhaoyi: "Xie Zhaoyi's mother rewards." The queen mother and the emperor heard that there was an assassin here, and they were in a hurry, so they hurriedly issued a holy decree to let you live and recuperate, and no outsiders should disturb you, and there was a pair of guards outside the door to protect your safety. ”
Xia Li glanced at Gonggong Jin thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Then thank you for the care of the queen and the emperor, and thank you Gonggong Jin." ”
Xiao Jinzi said with a smile: "The queen also said that if Zhaoyi Niangniang is not frightened, you don't have to go to Concubine Mei's birthday banquet, just rest well." After Xiao Jinzi finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Li thoughtfully and left, leaving Xia Li standing there with a blank face.
After sending off Gonggong Jin, Luo'er looked back and saw that Xia Li was standing there with a blank face, not moving. Luo'er was anxious when she saw it, stepped forward to help Xia Li, and shouted softly: "Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you, come back to your senses quickly." Xia Li came back to his senses suddenly, nodded, and entered the inner room.
Luo'er said: "Niangniang, what they said was to let you recuperate, but in fact it was house arrest, what should I do?" Xia Li looked at the bamboo outside the window and looked thoughtful. After a while, Fang said: "Since the holy decree has been issued, we will not go out, so as not to respond to all changes." You go and instruct all the people in this Yaohua Hall to keep to themselves, don't make trouble, and don't go out. Luo'er answered yes and went down.
