Book Departure (3)
News came from the Zhu family that Princess Guanghua was seriously ill and wanted to meet Xie Lan.
Xie Lan heard about this and wanted to meet with the eldest sister, but she couldn't help but have some concerns; Maybe he only went to Zhuangzi in the south of the city to meet his eldest sister, and then he couldn't hide it at all.
Xuan Jinhuan saw Xie Lan's thoughts, and reassured him: "If you want, just pass." There won't be a problem. ”
"Can you go with me, then? Perhaps, maybe my eldest sister will want to see you too. Xie Lan thought for a while.
"It's not good." Xuan Jinhuan was a little hesitant about this, why suddenly Xie Lan was about to pull her.
Moreover, Xuan Jinhuan had also met Princess Guanghua before.
Xie Lan seemed to say to herself: "Since I was a child, my eldest sister has treated me the best, but I didn't expect so many twists and turns to happen later." The eldest sister will probably want to see what kind of person is going to spend my life with in the future. ”
Hearing that Xie Lan had already said this, Xuan Jinhuan had no choice but to respond.
In fact, Princess Guanghua has already seen the matter between them.
After confirming the situation with the Zhu family, Xuan Jinhuan accompanied Xie Lan to the Zhu family's Zhuangzi in the south of the city.
However, it was at this time that an accident happened.
They went to Zhuangzi safe and sound, and Princess Guanghua sat on the couch with a haggard face, and only smiled a little when she saw them; When Xie Lan saw the eldest sister again, Xie Lan was already very excited, and was about to say something, but at this moment, a slave of the Zhu family hurriedly came in and reported: "Princess, princess, it's not good!" Oh no! ”
"What's so flustered!" Princess Guanghua's tone was very displeased, although she was weak, but she was definitely powerful.
"Princess, Your Majesty is here, coming to visit the Princess." The man staggered.
Hearing that His Majesty was coming, several of them were shocked; Princess Guanghua's already pale face instantly disappeared even a trace of blood, so she hurriedly struggled to get up: "Quick, quick, you guys quickly hide in the inner room." ”
Xie Lan and Xuan Jinhuan didn't expect Emperor Cheng Ji to suddenly arrive, so they were in a hurry again, and then hid in the inner room.
What the hell is this called! I couldn't help but wonder if Emperor Cheng Ji knew something before he came over.
They cautiously hid in the inner room, just in time to hear the conversation of the people outside.
When Emperor Chengji came in, the female envoy helped Princess Guanghua to kneel down and salute: "Daughter to see her father." ”
"Zexi, don't come and go, get up and sit down and talk." Emperor Chengji was very kind.
"Thank you, Father." Princess Guanghua thanked her.
Princess Guanghua sat down at the head of Emperor Chengji, and said with a weak smile: "It's all because the daughter is not good, which makes the father worried." ”
Emperor Chengji's voice was gentle, like a loving father: "I asked the palace to send you ten hundred-year-old ginseng to replenish your body." Besides, although this place is pure, it is inconvenient after all; You better go back to the palace and live, and the imperial doctor in the palace will take care of you from time to time. ”
Princess Guanghua lowered her head slightly, couldn't see her expression clearly, and only whispered: "Don't be so troublesome, my daughter is here, it's fine." ”
"I'm not at ease." Emperor Chengji shook his head.
"Then the daughter obeyed her father's will." Princess Guanghua still lowered her head and thought to herself for a while before responding.
Emperor Chengji asked the envoy to pack up the things for Princess Guanghua, meaning that the princess would immediately follow him into the palace.
Princess Guanghua always lowered her eyes, unable to see joy, anger and sorrow, like a puppet who could only be pulled by others.
Xie Lan and Xuan Jinhuan, who were hiding in the inner room, listened silently to the movement outside, and saw Princess Guanghua's female envoy enter the inner room to pack her things; The envoy glanced at them, tried to say something, but stopped talking, and then told them to hide behind the side of the hidden screen again, so as not to be discovered by the sudden incoming man.
Xuan Jinhuan held Xie Lan's hand tightly, afraid that he would make a sound as soon as he was excited.
In short, Emperor Chengji came here at this time, and he always felt weird!
Xuan Jinhuan's eyes looked at the half-open window next to him, thinking in his heart that if there was any accident, they could actually take the opportunity to escape from this window.
Although it is just a little dangerous.
I hope that everything outside can be over as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a torment at this moment.
And Xie Lan was unwilling in his heart; This time was a rare opportunity, he was able to meet his eldest sister again, or to speak, but unfortunately he was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Emperor Chengji.
Now listening to the conversation between Emperor Chengji and Princess Guanghua, it seems that Princess Guanghua is going to enter the palace with Emperor Chengji, and it may be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
Thinking of this, Xie Lan was even more reluctant.
Listening to the sounds outside, they gradually disappeared, and after confirming that Emperor Chengji and Princess Guanghua had returned to the palace, Xie Lan and Xuan Jinhuan carefully came out of the inner room; There are only a few sprinkling slaves left in the Zhuangzi, and Princess Guanghua has indeed left.
Seeing the loss in Xie Lan's eyes that could not be concealed, Xuan Jinhuan comforted him: "As long as life is alive, no matter how difficult it is, there will always be a chance to meet again in the future." ”
"Maybe." Xie Lan lowered his head lonely and said softly.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and after coming out of Zhuangzi, they will go directly back to Yunyan Pavilion.
There was a well-dressed woman in the front hall of Yunyan Pavilion who seemed to be saying something, and only a back could be seen from the outside; Xie Lan inexplicably felt that this back seemed to be a little familiar, but she really couldn't remember it, so she went in with Xuan Jinhuan as usual, and suddenly at this time, the woman turned around and seemed to be leaving, and happened to see Xie Lan who came in.
The woman was stunned for a moment, because she wore a veil on her face, so that no one could see her terrible expression as if she had seen a ghost in the day.
Because Xie Lan went to Zhu's Zhuangzi to meet Princess Guanghua today, he didn't wear that human skin mask.
That woman was Mrs. Chu who left the palace, she went out of the palace and returned to the Chu family under the pretext, and then came out of the side door of the Chu family and came to Yunyan Pavilion with a different face.
Xie Lan had never seen Mrs. Chu's true face at all, and now that she met Xie Lan face-to-face like this, she couldn't recognize it at all.
However, Mrs. Chu also covered it up well, so she leaned sideways slightly, pretending to be nothing.
It wasn't until Xie Lan and Xuan Jinhuan went in that she asked with a casual smile: "That son just now is handsome." ”
"That's our master." The person who spoke to Mrs. Chu just now told her.
Hearing him say this, Mrs. Chu looked thoughtful, revealing a strange look under the veil.
After that, Mrs. Chu quietly returned to the Chu family, and when she told her brother Mrs. Chu about it, Mrs. Chu was still very surprised, wondering if she had seen it wrong; Mrs. Chu swore that she would never be mistaken.
It's just that this matter is very strange, Mrs. Chu's brothers and sisters summed it up and felt that maybe they could make a fuss about it.
