Chapter Twenty-Six: Nightmare
Ye Xixi, who drank the soothing soup, quickly fell asleep on the Luohan bed in the study, and Su Xingci thoughtfully took a blanket and covered Ye Xixi.
Jiang Li withdrew from the study, Su Xingci held the book, sat aside, guarding Ye Xixi, remembering the death of Concubine Xian described by Ye Xixi in the Zongren Mansion, Su Xingci guessed a rough idea, only Gu poison can make people die so hideous, and the cold poison in his body is also a kind of Gu poison.
Yuezhu Country was originally a small country, but the Gu poison mastered by this country was an existence that all the surrounding countries hated and feared.
Gu poison frequently appeared in the Canglan Palace, and there was also the forbidden puppet technique of the Yuezhu Kingdom, so things would not be so simple.
A few days later, on Emperor Cang'an's birthday, I am afraid that the surrounding countries will send people to congratulate him on his birthday, hoping that there will be no chaos, Su Xingci thought about it, lowered his head and tucked the quilt for Ye Xixi.
Ye Xixi didn't sleep well at all, so she grabbed the corner of Su Xingci's clothes, "Sacrifice the eagle...... Eagle Sacrifice ...... Get out of the way. ”
Su Xingci frowned, he had never heard that there was a sacrificial eagle next to Princess Xi.
Ye Xixi dreamed of the previous life, and the Qianji Pavilion in the previous life only lasted for twenty years before it was destroyed by Ye Xixi himself.
There is no other reason, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, the major families are afraid that their secrets will be known, and there are some coveting the huge resources in the hands of the Thousand Machine Pavilion, Ye Xixi was besieged in a mission, and the sacrificial eagle stepped forward and saved Ye Xixi, but he died under the chaotic sword.
Ye Xixi, who returned to the Thousand Machines Pavilion, was furious and burned all the information of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and for the next ten years, Ye Xixi used it to secretly take revenge on the family forces that hunted down, besieged her and sacrificed the eagle.
I don't know why, she dreamed of being hunted down in her previous life again, and there was a chaser in the dream, and it suddenly became extremely clear.
The slender figure and plain-looking face, under a few attacks, made Ye Xixi fall behind, and the bony fingers directly grabbed Ye Xixi's mask, and when Ye Xixi swept sideways past the man, he smelled a familiar and special aroma of medicinal herbs.
When the man in the dream pinched Ye Xixi's neck, Ye Xixi woke up suddenly, sat up, opened his eyes and saw Su Xingci's warm and jade-like face, panting lightly, trying to adjust his breathing more steadily.
Su Xingci spread out Ye Xixi's hand holding his sleeve, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and picked up the handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on Ye Xixi's face, "Did you have a nightmare?" ”
Ye Xixi shook her head with a pale face, "Is it okay to pour me a glass of water?" ”
Su Xingci nodded, glanced at Ye Xixi worriedly, got up and poured a glass of water.
Ye Xixi pinched the water cup, recalling that dream, where did he smell the medicinal fragrance on the man's body, and it seemed that he had not found this man in his previous life to avenge the sacrificial eagle, Su Xingci looked at the distracted Ye Xixi and sighed, "Xi'er, if there is anything you can tell me, I can help you with anything, you believe me." ”
Ye Xixi raised her head, looked at Su Xingci and smiled, "It's okay, it's just that I was scared in the morning, and I haven't recovered yet, so it will be fine later." ”
Su Xingci knew that Ye Xixi didn't tell the truth, her dream had nothing to do with the morning's events at all, and the name she shouted in the dream was the first time she heard it, so she endured it and didn't continue to ask, she could only say that she hadn't entered her heart yet, and she didn't trust herself.
Su Xingci smiled and touched Ye Xixi's head, "Wait a while, it's time for dinner." But he thought in his heart, "Sooner or later, I will go into the heart of the little thing, so that she will no longer treat herself as an outsider." ”
Ye Xixi nodded and said, "Okay." "My mind is still recalling that dream, and I always feel that if I can't remember the familiar taste, it will delay the big thing, and I feel uneasy.
Jiang Li knocked lightly on the door of the study, interrupting the silence between the two.
Su Xingci stood up, walked over and opened the door.
"Is the eldest princess awake?" Jiang Li asked Su Xing.
Su Xingci nodded, turned sideways and let Jiang Li walk in.
Jiang Li came to Ye Xixi and frowned, feeling that Ye Xixi had slept for a while, and her face did not improve at all, "Is the eldest princess okay?" ”
Ye Xixi smiled lightly, "It's okay, I'm hungry, let's eat." ”
Jiang Li glanced at it worriedly, leaned over and said, "Yes, I'll go and prepare." ”
The meal was prepared quickly, Su Xingci ate some with Ye Xixi, and after the whole meal, Ye Xixi was silent, her brows were furrowed, Su Xingci and Jiang Li both saw that Ye Xixi had something on her mind, but she didn't say it herself, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to ask.
After dinner, Jiang Li left the house, and Su Xingci accompanied Ye Xixi to cool off in the pavilion.
The soft wind was blowing, it was very comfortable, Ye Xixi's expression was also much softened, enjoying the quiet evening, and suddenly opened his eyes violently, only to remember that today was May 29th, and when it was over, Su Xingci's cold poison was about to attack.
stood up and pulled Su Xingci to the bedroom, Su Xingci didn't know what Ye Xixi wanted to do, so he let Ye Xixi pull him, until he came to the door of Ye Xixi's boudoir, Su Xingci stopped in shock, Ye Xixi was a little dissatisfied with Su Xingci who stopped suddenly, "Stop and do what?" ”
Su Xingci pointed to Ye Xixi's boudoir and said a little shyly, "Eldest princess, this is your boudoir, I'll go in now, it's not appropriate." ”
Ye Xixi reacted at this time, and hurriedly let go of Su Xingci's hand, "En...... You have a point, you wait here for me for a while. After saying that, he went into the bedroom.
Su Xingci scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, turned his back, and looked at the moon.
After a while, Ye Xixi walked out with a package.
Su Xingci asked curiously, "What is the eldest princess doing?" ”
Ye Xixi carried the package, pulled Su Xingci, asked the little guy to prepare a carriage, and without saying anything, stuffed Su Xingci and the package into the car, and let the little guy drive straight out of the city.
"Eldest princess, where are we going?"
Ye Xixi asked a little angrily, "Have you forgotten that after tonight, you will have poisonous hair?" still dare to swagger in my house, although the people in my house are quite sincere, but most of them were arranged by the emperor's brother, who knows if there is a Gu like Concubine Xian. ”
Su Xingci smiled, his thoughts on this day were basically on Ye Xixi, and he had long forgotten about himself, Ye Xixi didn't say anything, probably he would really wait until the middle of the night to get poisoned.
"And where are we going?"
Ye Xixi patted the package in her hand, "Take you to the hot springs, the temperature is high there, and when you get sick, it should be able to help you resist some cold." ”
Su Xingci was a little embarrassed, and did not speak.
Ye Xixi poked Su Xingci's arm, "Why do you have a bitter gourd face?" ”
Su Xingci's expression became more serious, and he said, "I'...... When the hair is poisoned, like a monster, the eyes turn scarlet, and the body is not controlled, and I am afraid of scaring the eldest princess. Su Xingci thought about it, Ye Xixi was already scared enough when she saw Concubine Xian's death today, if she saw her appearance when she was sick again, would she never want to see him again, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
