Chapter 43: The Dream (3)
She Su Nuo'er can't be calm, even if she accidentally travels to the previous life, she is a princess and he is the proton of the enemy country, but so what, as long as she finds him, she will definitely be able to find a way to go back, and then leave here with him, no one can separate them!
The bright moon hall was brightly lit, the lively dinner had just ended, and the people were busy cleaning up the front hall with dishes and chopsticks. Flashing Dance Su Nuo'er recalled carefully, and took advantage of the cover of night to touch the room where Gu Ruobai was resting.
Although the lights were lit in the house, it was quiet, and Su Nuo'er quietly pushed the door in, and sure enough, there was no one. She was looking around, and was wondering where the people had gone, when she heard footsteps coming in, and she quickly turned around, but met a pair of cold eyes.
This is...... Her whiteness......
Su Nuo'er didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she didn't care about wiping away the tears that poured out and ran over and hugged him tightly.
"Ruobai, it's good that you're not dead, I finally found you." Su Nuo'er cried with joy, she knew that no matter what happened, her Ruobai would not leave her alone, and she knew that she would definitely find him!
Gu Ruobai, who was already a little drunk, looked at the little woman who threw herself into his arms and cried and said that she missed him, and she was in a trance for a while.
Feeling the wetness on his chest, Gu Ruobai gently pulled Su Nuo'er away and said, "This girl, maybe you recognized the wrong person." β
Su Nuo'er was stunned and looked at him with doubts: "Ruobai? I'm Xiaonuo, you don't know me anymore? β
"I'm sorry, girl, I don't know you." Gu Ruobai shook his head a little distressed, Rao is he didn't remember when he met a girl named Xiaonuo if he wanted to break his head.
The distressed look on Gu Ruobai's face was obvious, obviously he didn't know her at all.
"How is it possible, Ruobai, have you forgotten me? I'm Su Nuo, Su Nuo? Have you forgotten that we are about to get engaged, but we have crossed over here, how could you forget me? Su Nuo'er grabbed Gu Ruobai's hand with some excitement, and remembered Gu Yuhao's confession before the crossing, and bowed her head pitifully to admit her mistake, "Are you still angry with me, that confession was an accident, Ruobai, don't misunderstand me, don't be angry and ignore me, okay?" β
Su Nuo'er thought that Gu Ruobai was still angry with herself and refused to deal with her, but she heard Gu Ruobai's cold voice sound: "This girl, please respect yourself." β
Su Nuo'er stared blankly at her hands that were thrown away by Gu Ruobai, and looked at him in disbelief: "Ruobai, do you really, don't you remember me?" β
Gu Ruobai's face was indifferent, and his voice was even colderβ"I've never known you." β
"Ruobai ......" Su Nuo'er looked at Gu Ruobai's indifferent face and said unconsciously, "How could it be?" β
The same name, exactly the same face, obviously, it is the same person, it is her Ruobai! But he said he didn't know her......
"This girl, it's getting dark at night, please get out of here quickly."
"I'm sorry...... Perhaps, I recognized the wrong person. Su Nuo'er tried her best to suppress the dull pain in her heart and smiled faintly, "That person, who said he wanted to marry me, how could he not know me." β
β¦β¦
At this time, the night was thick.
Gu Ruobai stood at the window in a daze, the scene just now kept appearing in front of him, his jade-like hand gently touched his chest, and his star-like eyes were full of doubts, as if he was troubled by some problem.
You don't know her, do you? But why, every time I think of her tearful eyes, here, it hurts so much......
Next.
On the twentieth birthday of the eldest prince Su Yi, Chengde Palace is full of sheng songs. In previous years, it was handled by his biological mother Concubine Wan, but this year, Concubine Wan was infected with wind and cold and was unable to attend, so it was handled by the eldest prince's side concubine Wang, although it was not as luxurious as in previous years, but it was also extremely glorious and rich.
At this time, the fourth princess, Su Jin'er, was pulling Su Nuo'er into the table, and caught a glimpse of Su Yi, who was surrounded by many sons and brothers not far away, and said in a low voice: "It's a birthday banquet, but it's better to say it's a blind date in disguise." β
Su Nuo'er was puzzled, and looked at Su Jin'er's line of sight, okay, a group of flowery little girls were chatting and funny around the side concubine Wang, and there were a few laughs from time to time. "What is this?"
"Although the eldest brother has already set up a side concubine, the position of the main concubine is still vacant, and now the eldest brother intends to set up a concubine, and it is estimated that the official eunuchs in this imperial city have sent their daughters." Su Jin'er pursed her lips disdainfully and explained to Su Nuo'er in a low voice.
Su Nuo'er lowered her eyes and did not speak.
Su Jin'er couldn't stay idle, and when she saw Su Nuo'er's absent-minded appearance, she approached and asked, "My little sister, what's wrong with you today?" Could it be that the wind chill is not good enough? β
As he was talking, a silver bell-like laughter came, "Seventh Sister can be regarded as showing up, how are the injuries on her body healing?" The woman in red simply sat down cross-legged next to Su Nuo'er, not at all shy as a daughter, but bold.
"Fifth Emperor Sister?" Su Nuo'er's eyes lit up, and she was a little happy.
The fifth princess Suninger and the sixth princess Su Hoer were both born to Concubine Ping, and Concubine Ping is the queen's own sister, with the most gentle temperament, accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha all day long, but raised two daughters with completely different temperaments. Suninger loves men's clothing, dresses up as a boy all day long, loves to dance with guns and sticks, and once went out to fight with the general, and his heroic posture does not lose to men at all, so he is also quite loved by the emperor. And although the sixth princess Su Ho'er is Suning'er's own sister, her temperament is extremely timid and the most delicate.
This time the eldest prince Su Yi's birthday banquet, Su He'er followed Su Ning'er, and even Su Jin'er was surprised.
"I said Fifth Sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, dare to come back from wandering the rivers and lakes?" Su Jin'er quipped, "It's hard for you to change into women's clothes today, otherwise you will have to capture the hearts of many little girls." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Suning'er, full of ridicule.
"Don't mention it, if it weren't for He'er, I wouldn't be too lazy to come here." Suning'er was busy taking something out of her sleeve, took it out for a long time, and handed it a hairpin in front of Su Nuo'er, "Why, seventh sister, don't blame me for not going to see you, I made it myself, see if you like it." β
The hairpin is made of a whole piece of fine white jade, not only the carved snow lotus is lifelike, but the hairpin is also engraved with a line of small characters of "peace and joy". Seeing that Su Nuo'er was full of joy, the haze of the past few days has also diluted a lot.
"Thank you, Sister Five Emperors! It's beautiful! Su Nuo'er put away the hairpin and thanked her happily. Su Jin'er, who looked straight to the side, was bubbling acidly, and when she turned her head, she saw Su He'er staring at the door of the hall in a daze, Su Jin'er looked curiously, obediently, that white dress fluttering like a fairy, isn't it Gu Ruobai, the proton of the Gu family?
Seeing Su He'er's eyes again, it seemed to be amazed and obsessed, staring at the white figure in a daze. Su Jin'er coughed lightly, and seeing that she didn't react, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, I'm afraid that there will be another infatuation to pay wrong......
"Brother Ruobai!"
A surprised voice caused everyone to look at the door of the hall, and they saw Su Shuang'er, who was also dressed in white, talking to Gu Ruobai with a smile, and there was no intimacy between words and deeds.
Everyone was far away only to say that the three princesses had a close relationship with the Gu family's proton, but they didn't know how close, but Gu Ruobai said quietly and distantly: "Third princess." β
Su Shuang'er didn't care about his estrangement, but happily turned her skirt and said, "Brother Ruobai, do you think my clothes look good?" β
"The third princess is naturally beautiful."
Here, Su Nuo'er was pestering Sun'er to tell her interesting stories outside, and when she heard the movement, she looked curiously, and everywhere she looked, she was meeting the person's sight.
Stunned, Su Nuo'er turned her head without leaving a trace and stopped looking at him, lowered her head and drank the fruit wine slowly to hide her emotions. Since she came back from looking for him that night, she has been seriously ill, and she has long heard that Gu's proton has always been only close to the third princess, and what she saw with her own eyes today is true. He could be so close to someone else and yet refuse to remember her. The corners of Su Nuo'er's mouth unconsciously pulled a touch of ridicule, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.
While speaking, the guests had already arrived, and Su Yi called for singing and dancing, Su Nuo'er had no intention of watching, only looking forward to the early end of the banquet. But he heard the singer sing:
ββ¦β¦ Looking back a few times, love is nine heavens away,
The fly ash has been turned early, and thousands of miles have been placed together,
Wake up and get drunk with me everywhere, the film and music are in the same school,
I didn't dance alone into the window case, and I was stubborn in this life
Suddenly into the night of lovesickness, it should be the old man who came"
The crisp and tactful singing voice sighed slightly, "Suddenly into the lovesick night, it should be, the old man came." β
After singing the song, everyone applauded, Su Yi was even more happy to reward him, and the dancers thanked him and retreated, but Su Yi said: "I have long seen the seventh sister with a worried face, what's the matter, but your eldest brother is here to make you unhappy?" β
Su Yi was born with a good skin, and he also cared a lot about Su Nuo'er between his words, but Su Nuo'er couldn't get close to him, and he always felt that this person was too dark and terrifying. But this work still has to be done, so Su Nuo'er replied: "Brother Lao is concerned, Nuo'er is just a little tired." β
As soon as the words fell, Su Nuo'er only felt a flash of cold light in front of her, and a gust of wind rushed towards the door in front of her!
"There are assassins! Come and escort you! β
There were assassins among the dancing girls, no one expected, the hall was in chaos in an instant, and it gave the assassins a chance, Suning'er, who was sitting next to him, had already fought with the assassins, but he didn't expect more than one assassin, and the target was Su Nuo'er!
"Noor!"
Seeing the sword rushing straight to Su Nuo'er's heart, the moment it touched Su Nuo'er's clothes, a wooden chopstick quickly and accurately met the sword blade, and in the next second, Su Nuo'er was pulled into an embrace full of fragrance.
Gu Ruobai flashed to the side with Su Nuo'er, who was a little frightened, and was slightly relieved to see that she was unscathed, but her eyes were cold, and when her fingers flicked, two silver needles flew straight out, and the two assassins in dance costumes fell to the ground in response, and there was no more breath.
There was an assassin at a good banquet, and the original plan to choose a concubine was also destroyed, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the eldest prince, Su Yi was furious on the spot: "Investigate this prince thoroughly, and there will be no mercy!" β
In Fengming Palace.
Queen Xie Qing wept silently, and the emperor wearing a golden dragon robe next to her was even more bored walking back and forth.
After a while, Queen Xie Qing choked up and said: "Your Majesty, let's send Nuo'er away, this fifteen-year-old birthday has only been a few months, and Nuo'er has been injured three times, is it true that the prophecy of the Heavenly Master is really going to come true, otherwise how could my Nuo'er suffer so much." β
"What nonsense!" Emperor Su Bo'an was even more annoyed when he heard this, but he sighed heavily and said, "Queen, the prophecy of the Heavenly Master is only known to you and me, this is a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be leaked out, otherwise the world will be uneasy!" He didn't feel sorry for his daughter, but when he thought of the warning of the Heavenly Master fifteen years ago, his heart felt like a mess.
He is the Son of Heaven and can protect everyone, but he can't protect his most beloved daughter alone......
At the same time, the Bright Moon Palace.
"Master." The Dark Guard appeared silently.
"I want you to find out what's going on?"
"Back to the master, my subordinates only found out that on the night of Princess Linuo's birth fifteen years ago, a psychic heavenly master came in the snow, but his subordinates were incompetent and couldn't find out what the heavenly master said that night."
"Let's go down." Gu Ruobai didn't blame Feng, but added, "Continue to investigate." β
"Yes." Although Feng wondered in his heart that the master was going to track down Princess Linuo's affairs, he couldn't guess the master's thoughts, so he had to take the order and leave.
At this time, the assassinated protagonist Su Nuo'er was taken to Yong'an Palace by his second imperial brother, and the chief physician of the Tai Hospital carefully examined Su Nuo'er's body, and after repeatedly making sure that it was okay, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second Emperor Brother, I'm really fine, I didn't hurt a single hair, really." Since crossing here, the accidents and assassinations that Su Nuo'er encountered were simply commonplace, and she would be frightened at first, but over time she got used to it.
Whether they were accidental or deliberate assassinations, she had expected them, but she couldn't stop them from happening. At first, Su Nuo'er was glad that everything that happened after she crossed over here was the same as what was written in her book, but now she was full of helplessness and despair, just knowing what was going to happen next, but not knowing how to avoid harm, just like the predetermined ending, no matter what, it can't be changed.
"This assassination is no small feat." Knowing that Su Nuo'er was really fine, Su Chen was still worried. He wanted to protect this youngest sister, but he also knew that he couldn't protect her for the rest of his life, and there were some things that she had to face by herself.
"Did the Second Emperor Brother find something?" Regarding her own safety, Su Nuoer is very concerned.
Su Chen thought about it for a while, but decided to tell her truthfully: "No'er, I found a mark similar to a dead soldier on those two assassins. And this kind of mark belongs to the Huailiang Kingdom. β
"Huai Liang Country?" Su Nuo'er was a little surprised, "Could it be that I have something on me that they want to get?" "The so-called dead soldier means that no matter whether the mission is completed or not, once it is over, those assassins will drink poison and die on their own, and will never reveal any secrets. It is very expensive to cultivate a group of excellent dead soldiers, and this time Huailiang Kingdom actually sent dead soldiers to assassinate her, which shows that the other party is determined to put her to death.
Su Chen continued: "Speaking of which, I also have to thank this incident, after these two assassins investigated, I found out that there are many hidden piles in this imperial city that are suspected of being from other countries, and now I just have to explain this matter to my father and emperor, and then take them down in one fell swoop." β
"Then the second emperor brother is going to Xianglong Palace now?" Su Nuo'er knew that there were many implications in this matter, and she happened to go to Fengming Palace to ask her mother for peace, so she went out of Yong'an Palace with Su Chen.
"Hurry up, hurry up, if someone finds out, watch your heads!" A few people dressed as little eunuchs hurriedly ran from the corner of the wall carrying a stretcher, and after looking around to see if there was anyone, they cautiously went out of the palace gate.
It's just that these people are so sneaky, and they just happened to bump into the dark guard wind who came back from completing the mission.
In the Bright Moon Palace, Gu Ruobai had just sent off the little monk of Pu'an Temple, and Feng rushed back with a strange face.
"Master, just now my subordinates met a few little eunuchs of Qiming Palace, carrying a violent maid sneakily out of the palace gate, my subordinates were curious for a while, so I asked a few more words, but I didn't expect that the maid was the maid who was waiting next to Princess Linuo when she fell down the stairs that day, and she was a person from Qiming Palace." The wind said with his head down.
Gu Ruobai, who was standing by the window pruning the flower branches, heard this, and his subordinates paused: "Oh? Do you see clearly? β
Feng immediately said respectfully: "Yes, my subordinates can see it clearly that day." β
Gu Ruobai put down the scissors in his hand, and only spoke after a while: "You have the right not to know about this matter, let alone disclose it to others." β
Feng was puzzled, raised his head and asked, "Master, why?" β
It's rare to be in a good mood today, so Gu Ruobai patiently explained: "You only know that you saw the third princess intending to murder the seventh princess, but the royal family of this Wusu country has never allowed people in the royal family to mutilate their siblings, otherwise it will be the end of killing." It's fine if they find out about it themselves, but if such a royal scandal comes out of the mouths of you and me, do you think we can return home safely? β
After listening to the master's answer, his complexion changed, and he said ashamedly: "The subordinates are still reckless." Feng had already seen the invitation on the table, so he asked again, "Master, are you going to Pu'an Temple?" β
"Well, Venerable Ichihong invited me to come and learn the Buddha's teachings together." After a pause, he said, "In three days, you will go with me, go down and prepare." β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Xianglong Palace.
Su Nuo'er, who had just arrived at Fengming Palace to invite An, received a summons from the emperor, and followed her father-in-law who came to Xianglong Palace to spread the word. Just wondering what was going on, he saw Su Yi and Su Chen, who had just come out of the study.
"Brother the Great Emperor, Brother the Second Emperor." Su Nuo'er saluted, and when she saw that Su Yi's face was not very good, she asked, "But what happened?" β
Su Yi glanced at Su Chen and said, "It's a pity that the Pu'an Temple Blessing Festival will be held for ten days, but the second emperor brother will stay in this imperial city and can't go to pray for blessings." β
"Brother Huang's words are wrong, it is the duty of his ministers to share the worries of his father and emperor, and it is not a pity to go to the blessing meeting." Su Chen always looked like a light and breezy look, and he shot back lightly.
Su Yi snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
"What kind of person, yin and yang all day long." Su Nuo'er muttered in a low voice, pulled Su Chen's sleeve and asked, "Second Emperor Brother, what did you just say, what Pu'an Temple?" β
Su Chen replied: "Three days later, it will be the 10-year Pu'an Temple Blessing Conference, which lasts for ten days, presided over by Abbot Yihong, in order to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth and the country and the people are safe. This time, the eldest brother will take you to Pu'an Temple to pray for the blessing of the imperial city, Nuo'er, I can't go to the imperial city if I stay in the imperial city, you must pay attention to safety. β
After listening to Su Chen's words, Su Nuo'er's face suddenly changed. Pu'an Temple, isn't that the place where the heroine she wrote about in the book was killed?!
