114 Who's who
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The night sky shimmered like sapphire-like stars, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver, bringing things into a deep sleep in the middle of the night.
The glass lamp in the darkness lit a faint light, and Xia Xiaoxiao carried a few simple pieces of luggage and shuttled behind the cover in the road with these faint lights.
Although most people fell asleep at night, it was the most heavily guarded time in the palace, and there were twice as many guards patrolling as during the day.
Fortunately, she doesn't have much luggage, so she only has two changes of clothes, so it is easier to hide with her petite figure.
If she goes out of the palace during the day and has not returned to the palace at night, it is easy to be discovered by Beigong Yu, the total is only seven or eight hours, she is going now, there will be four or five hours until dawn, and then tomorrow night, there are a total of ten or so hours, a few more hours, enough for her to run far!
Xia Xiaoxiao bypassed the Han Hall all the way, and finally came to the palace gate through the strict and orderly guard patrol.
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the vermilion palace gate embedded in the tall palace wall, it has been three years, and tonight, she can finally realize her dream of rivers and lakes!
The palace gate was closed, and she straightened her clothes to try not to look so nervous, and then walked towards the palace gate.
Several of the guards on duty at night had already begun to doze off with their heads down, and one who had not yet fallen asleep saw Xia Xiaoxiao coming, and hurriedly raised his spear to stop her, "Who! No entry or exit without a token! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao handed over Beigong Yu's token unhurriedly, the man was startled, and quickly woke everyone up and gave Xia Xiaoxiao a salute, "It turned out to be the crown princess, I don't know what happened when the lady left the palace so late?" ”
"My father is seriously ill and urgently needs to return to the house to visit." Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the man and moved out the excuse that he had already made.
I don't want that person to be stunned, but he didn't open the door, didn't he say that the crown princess and her mother's family have always had a discordant relationship?
Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would be seen if he delayed any longer, so he urged him again and again, "What, His Royal Highness the Prince's token was given to the palace and allowed the palace to go out of the palace to visit, but you little guard didn't let the palace go out of the palace?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." As soon as the man heard His Royal Highness the Prince, he immediately urged someone to open the palace door, Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him, took the token and hurriedly walked out, but he didn't dare to let people see that she was actually trotting.
As soon as she left the palace, as soon as she looked up, she saw the man in white standing not far away, holding a long sword, his black eyes under the silver face flickered slightly in the night, cold as snow, quiet as water, beautiful as picturesque, standing alone at the foot of the city wall, fluttering in white clothes, looking at her quietly, relieved and only said, "You are here." ”
She was stunned, the setting in the moonlight always made people unable to take their eyes off.
Just as she smiled at Luozhi and was about to walk over, the voice that suddenly appeared behind her made Xia Xiaoxiao's whole person freeze,
"It's so late, where is Xiao Xia'er going to take her luggage?"
Her little face turned pale in an instant, and she slowly turned her head to see Beigong Yu walking out from behind a tree unhurriedly, looking at her with a smile on her face.
Wuxi followed behind him with his head bowed, holding her snow-white bun in his arms.
Xia Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she couldn't speak, she never thought that Beigong Yu, who had not seen her for three days, would suddenly appear here! Or was he here all along?
"Why don't you speak? Could it be that Xiao Xia'er went to look for a cat outside the palace this time? Beigong Yu seemed to be smiling, his eyes crossed Xia Xiaoxiao, looked at Luo Zhi behind her, and said softly, "What do you say, Brother Huang?" ”
Beigong Yu deliberately bit the last two words, and the smile in his eyes was even worse.
The last two words that fell into Beigong Yu's mouth in his ears, Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly turned to Luozhi's body not far away, as if it was another thunderbolt from a sunny day.
Beigong Yu called him the imperial brother!
In this palace, except for the deceased eldest prince, only one person is Beigong Yu's brother!
Beigong pheasant leaves.
"What do you mean?"
Xia Xiaoxiao looked back at Beigong Yu, who was walking towards her with a bun, and froze, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
How could Beigong Pheasant be Beigong Yu's royal brother? How could it be Beigong Pheasant!
"Xiao Xia'er, Xiao Xia'er, just a few clever words to you, do you really think he is here to take you out of the palace?" Beigong Yu sneered, walked to her side, took the token from her hand, pinched the rope on it and shook the token, looking like a good show.
"What does he mean?"
Xia Xiaoxiao stared straight at Luozhi, her face full of disbelief.
Luo Zhi just stood there, his eyes fixed on Beigong Yu. Since Beigong Yu appeared, he hasn't said a word.
He was silent.
"No, it's impossible, I've seen Beigong Pheasant, you shouldn't be alone."
Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head, what did the silence at this time represent, Xia Xiaoxiao was already very clear in her heart, but she still didn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it, she was so trusting of a person who even he entered the palace inexplicably, she was willing to believe that he was just here to take her out of the palace, except for Ji Xiaoer, she had never believed in someone like this.
Beigong Yu glanced at her, squinting at Luozhi not far away,
"Is it the end, don't you know if the royal brother takes off his mask?"
Xia Xiaoxiao obviously saw that Luozhi's body standing in the wind stiffened for a moment when he heard Beigong Yu's words, Xia Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "Even what? The first person I knew was Luozhi, and after that, no matter who he really was, what could he represent? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the token in Beigong Yu's hand, even if it was Beigong Pheasant, as long as he came to take her away, what did it matter who he was? She was about to walk over, but Beigong Yu grabbed her wrist and smiled contemptuously, "This sentence, Xiao Xia'er still waits for the imperial brother to take it off and then compares it, but I don't know if the imperial brother dares?" ”
There was a hint of provocation in his tone.
"Shinoshino"
Luo Zhi called her name lightly and wanted to come over, but was stopped by Wuxi's outstretched hand, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
Luozhi, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him, the last point, the last point she could believe in him, she only hoped that now he could take off the mask and prove to her that the face that had been hidden under the mask was not Beigong Pheasant's face, even if it was, she didn't want Beigong Yu to expose it, at least if Luozhi told her personally, then she would also believe him, all this was just a coincidence.
"Xiao Xia'er, do you know, why doesn't the imperial brother dare to treat you with his true face?"
Beigong Yu's smile became more and more sarcastic.
"Beigong Yu!"
Luo Zhi clenched his hands at his side, staring at Beigong Yu with a thin anger in his tone.
"If it were you, you would be curious about what kind of face looks under this mask."
Beigong Yu was indifferent to his anger and said to himself.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Xia Xiaoxiao shook off Beigong Yu's hand that had been grabbing her, she hated Beigong Yu the most at this time, and looked at everyone so contemptuously.
Beigong Yu glanced at him, only to see the long sword in Wuxi's hand swing and slash in front of Luozhi's eyes.
Luo Zhi was defenseless, a crack was cut in the mask in front of him, he jerked his face sideways, the mask shattered in half, and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Xia Xiaoxiao saw the mask on his face fall to the ground, his eyes stopped on his side face, his pupils gradually constricted, as the clouds spread overhead, the moonlight spread straight to the ground, Xia Xiaoxiao clearly saw the face she was once curious about.
Luo Zhi turned his head and looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze sank.
The body seemed to be evacuated by something, and he took two steps back weakly, at this time, the face exposed under the mask was indeed not the ordinary face of Beigong Pheasant.
"Looking at this face, this palace has a long-lost feeling for the imperial brother."
Beigong Yu's faint laughter seemed to pierce Xia Xiaoxiao's ears like a needle in the wind.
When she first met, she was indeed curious about what Luozhi looked like, covered with a mask, if it was not amazingly beautiful, it should be invincible ugly, at that time, Xia Xiaoxiao thought it was the last.
The long hair that fell and was tied up rose in the wind and swept across his cheeks, and now Xia Xiaoxiao looked at it, it turned out to belong to the former.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Beigong Yu's face again, she finally knew what Beigong Yu meant by what he said.
Just now, she was still thinking, what if it was Beigong Pheasant? It doesn't mean that Luo Zhi has some kind of purpose for her, but now, even she feels ridiculous.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the face that was almost exactly the same as Beigong Yu not far away, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a touch of self-deprecation, she now knew that it turned out that Beigong Yu's imperial brother, Beigong Pheasant, was actually a twin brother!
"I didn't think of that."
Xia Xiaoxiao smiled, raised one hand in front of her eyes, as if supporting her forehead, and seemed to cover her eyes, the laughter was so harsh, it was a little crying.
Yes, why didn't she think of it, such a similar body, such a similar temperament, and even the voice was so similar, she even suspected that Luozhi was Beigong Yu's, but why didn't she think that he was Beigong Yu's brother?
"Shinoshino"
Beigong Pheasant was in a panic, and Wuxi stepped forward to stop him again, but he was hit in the chest by a palm, and he took several steps back, and that palm was full of anger.
Xia Xiaoxiao avoided him, and raised his eyes with tears like beans on his cheeks.
Beigong Pheasant looked at the coldness in her eyes, and the whole person seemed to be thrown into the ice cellar frozen in place, unable to take a step.
"What are you still doing with Xiao Xia'er? Back to the palace! ”
After watching enough of the play, Beigong Yu's smile narrowed, his eyes sank, with a layer of coldness, he glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao lightly, turned around and walked towards the palace.
"Mother, please." Wuxi glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao and made a gesture of invitation to her.
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't even want to put a glance at it in the end, no, Beigong Pheasant left his body, glanced at Wuxi, and re-approached the palace gate with Beigong Yu behind him.
The last vestige of trust she had in him, she thought, was gone.
Beigong Pheasant wanted to step forward to chase after him, but suddenly an additional attendant came behind him, bowed his head beside him and said, "Lord, the queen mother is invited." ”
Glancing at Xia Xiaoxiao, who had already walked away, he frowned, and turned into the palace and walked towards the Yuexia Palace.
The moonlight was bright, the Shuhan Palace, which should have been turned off, was bright, the candlelight on the table made a crackling sound of burning wax, and Beigong Yu's token was quietly placed aside.
"According to the palace, these clothes don't match Xiao Xia'er very well, and they are smooth."
Beigong Yu sat on the chair, swept Xia Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling on the ground, and threw it to Pingshun with a piece of clothing she brought out, "Burn it." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Shun Shun who went out with her clothes, those were her favorite clothes!
Unexpectedly, a small look fell on Beigong Yu's eyes, "What?" Reluctant? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao's head hung lower, she should have been outside the palace at this time, she should have been with Luo Zhi As soon as she thought of this, a feeling of being deceived came to her, and her tone couldn't help but be a little colder, "Concubine, don't dare." ”
Yes, Beigong Yu is done with the fall, and the next person to clean up is her.
"Xia Xiaoxiao!" Beigong Yu walked in front of her angrily and squatted down, pinched her chin and stared at her, and his tone was cold, "You rarely show your fake appearance in front of the palace, and you have the courage to leave the palace with other men, but you don't have the courage to tell the truth at this time?" Can't? There is nothing that this palace will not dare to do when you see you! ”
He was angry, from the beginning he knew that she beat those little Jiujiu, and allowed her to go out of the palace freely, but he forgave her for being ambitious and not bear-guile, heh, he didn't expect that this time she would let Beigong Pheasant take her away!
"So what? It turns out that you have known it for a long time, and today you are just waiting to see my joke! Xia Xiaoxiao was also angry, opened his hand and stood up and looked at him directly, if it weren't for Beigong Yu's sudden appearance today, she would have left the capital with Luozhi at this time! How can they still kneel here and wait to be punished?
She waited for the opportunity for three years, she played the role of her princess with dignity and discipline, just to save her life and go out of the palace, the silver was stolen, she wanted to go out of the palace and earn it again, Beigong Yu didn't care about her, she thought about going out of the palace to remarry, everyone was out of the palace, but she was arrested by Beigong Yu, how could she be willing?
"Okay, you say I'm fake, that's it, who in the entire palace isn't fake? You are the prince, I will say whatever you ask me to say, I will do whatever you ask me to do, as long as you are happy, I will do what you want, you don't care if I am true or false! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao bumped Beigong Yu away as she spoke, Beigong Yu didn't pay attention and was really hit by her and staggered two steps, and when she saw her rushing to the table and grabbing the token, she ran out without looking back!
Horizontal and vertical is death, she might as well say everything she wants to say and die easily!
I didn't know that I had only run two steps, and before my hand touched the closed door, the collar behind me was picked up by something!
"Beigong Yu, what are you doing!"
In the blink of an eye, Xia Xiaoxiao was thrown to the bed by him like a bun! The fall hurt her, I thought he would only throw small things, but I didn't expect him to throw people like this!
"It seems that the queen is right, in the past, it was the palace that was too indulgent to you!"
Beigong Yu came up and sneered in her ear, she actually wanted to run away with his token? Xiao Xia'er, Xiao Xia'er, you don't know who is really good to you!
"You get out of the way!"
Xia Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to push him, but found that Beigong Yu's strength was very strong, as if he was just tickling him, he didn't move, and Beigong Yu's body pressed even lower.
"If you don't have a token, this palace wants to see what you take out of the palace!" Beigong Yu stared at her with a pair of black eyes, with an evil smile on his lips, grabbed Xia Xiaoxiao's hand holding the token with one hand, pulled the token out of her hand, and threw it to the head of the bed.
"Beigong Yu!" Xia Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to pick it up, but Beigong Yu took a step ahead of her and imprisoned her hand on the side of her ear, Xia Xiaoxiao panicked.
"Xiao Xia'er's panicked expression is very cute, but it also makes Bengong suddenly remember something."
A trace of ** gradually appeared in Beigong Yu's eyes, and he looked at her with interest, and his other hand fell on her forehead, then her cheek, and her neck
Then Xia Xiaoxiao heard him whisper in her ear: "This palace and the crown princess, it seems that there is no round house yet, right?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao's angry expression froze on his face, and he suddenly panicked, and his body was also panicked, struggling to get up, but he didn't dare to argue with Beigong Yu anymore, "Beigong Yu No, Your Highness, I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!" ”
"Xiao Xia'er is really too ignorant." Beigong Yu's face suddenly darkened, and the sound of his clothes breaking sounded in the air.
Xia Xiaoxiao cried, crying loudly and presumptuously, and he could scold a sentence or two at first, but Beigong Yu didn't look distressed at all!
She stared at the bed curtain shaking above her head, and Beigong Yu's eyes staring at her coldly, her eyes were soaked with tears, shaking so much that she couldn't open her eyes, only an endless sense of shame came at her, overwhelming her, overwhelming her.
She shouldn't have annoyed Beigong Yu, she didn't know how annoyed Beigong Yu was by her to treat her like this!
It hurts, it hurts all over the body, it hurts in the body, it hurts in the heart. Gradually, she couldn't even cry anymore, and her voice became hoarse, becoming a stalk.
The night was long, and the candles on the table had burned to the point that there was only a short section left, which was definitely not enough to burn until dawn, but without Beigong Yu's instructions, no one dared to go in and change the candles.
Xia Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep, and her face was full of tears from crying.
Beigong Yu was lying on her side, holding the quilt to cover her ** body, staring at her crying face with her head propped up, with a hint of other emotions in her eyes.
Xia Xiaoxiao can also cry, cry alone, cry in front of Luozhi, but he has never cried in front of him like now!
Beigong Yu's fingertips swept across her forehead, picked up a strand of hair and wrapped it around her fingertips to play, today, he was a little out of control.
He stared at Xia Xiaoxiao's face carefully, in his memory, when he first met her in Gao Ganglin three years ago, she was more like a tomboy.
At that time, he was supposed to be hunting as a prince in the hunting grounds, but he was lying on a tree outside the hunting grounds, and she suddenly broke into his sight.
Wearing a small cloth hat and dressed like a young man, he searched for a way to sneak in near the hunting grounds.
She was only thirteen years old at the time, she was too white, too tender, and too thin, and Beigong Yu recognized it as a woman at a glance. Later, she was caught by his father, and Beigong Yu knew that it was the daughter of the prince's wife, and she actually ran to the hunting ground to catch rabbits, and he couldn't help but feel funny and funny.
Xia Xiaoxiao's temperament, Beigong Yu has always known, what he can't get used to is that she always has that well-behaved appearance in front of him, which makes people become angry unconsciously.
Beigong Yu's eyes narrowed, emitting a hint of danger.
Beigong Pheasant Li, the man who has the same face as him, Xia Xiaoxiao is very presumptuous in front of that man.
Following.
Xia Xiaoxiao was woken up by a nightmare.
When I opened my eyes and stared at the bead curtain hanging above my head, my first reaction was: This is not her Twilight Pavilion!
As soon as her body moved, the soreness that stimulated her bones spread all over her body, and she slurped, and she thought about what happened last night in an instant!
She turned her head suddenly, the place where Beigong Yu had slept next to her was empty, she was stunned, could it be that she had a spring dream?
Sitting up from the bed with pain, looking at the clothes hanging on the screen, and then at her own body, she was struck by a spirit.
Obediently, it's not a dream that she wanted to leave the palace last night, but she was really caught by Beigong Yu!
Suddenly thinking of something, she hurriedly rummaged in bed for the token that was thrown on the bed by Beigong Yu last night.
As a result, she didn't see a shadow for a long time, she sat on the bed dejectedly, wanting to cry without tears, and eighty percent was taken away by Beigong Yu!
This damn stinky fox!
"Niangniang, why are you" Just as Xia Xiaoxiao was angrily scolding, Qingyue suddenly pushed the door and broke in, but when she saw Xia Xiaoxiao sitting naked on the bed, she suddenly slammed at the door, dumbfounded.
"What are you doing there? Don't come over to get ready for a bath? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at her, Qingyue, who she thought she would never see again, was upset when she saw it now.
"Niangniang, you slept in the Han Hall last night?"
Qingyue asked cautiously while rubbing her body.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up and wipe it, stay for a while and go around the palace." Xia Xiaoxiao's face turned slightly red in the mist, and she became more and more irritable.
"Ahh By the way, mother, do you know what everyone is talking about today? ”
Qingyue suddenly thought of some gossip she heard in the air today, and Xia Xiaoxiao asked casually, "What did you say?" ”
"Niangniang, do you remember the king who returned to the palace not long ago?"
As soon as he heard the word Liwang, Xia Xiaoxiao's hand in the water paused, the water flowed out from his fingers, and when he came back to his senses, he scooped up some more, and asked lightly, "What did you say?" ”
Qingyue said excitedly, "The slave maid has also seen King Liwang before, although I heard that he is the brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, but after seeing him, I feel that compared to His Royal Highness the Prince, my appearance is too bad, and guess what?" ”
Same.
"Exactly the same!" Qingyue was shocked, "It turned out that the king was wandering around the rivers and lakes and learned some disguise techniques, and after returning to the palace, he was worried about causing confusion to the palace people, so the emperor allowed it, and when he went to the court today, he suddenly showed his face, and the court ministers were stunned!" It is said that even the brothers of the same mother have never seen people who look exactly the same! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart, afraid of confusing the palace people? I'm afraid it's deliberately to hide her, right?
