Chapter 208: The Man in the Firewood Room
As soon as the crown prince's edict came out, there was an undercurrent of surging in the peaceful and lively atmosphere of the palace banquet. There are many people who show favor to Xiao Lian, but there are even more people who pretend to be tempting.
A palace banquet made Xiao Lian and He Jingying feel like they had taken off a layer of skin. The two of them sat down in the carriage with stiff faces on their faces.
The sudden surprise was more surprising than joyful.
After Xiao Lian left the palace, he was a little worried.
He Jingying: "The person who is the grandson has this expression, and you are probably the first one." ”
Xiao Lian frowned slightly: "Don't you think it's too sudden?" ”
He Jingying: "Yes, there is a little. But recently, Xiao Yunying and Xiao Yun have lost one after another, and Xiao Yunchang has been placed under house arrest in Jiangzhou, which is not surprising. ”
Xiao Lian shook his head: "I'm still too anxious." In the past, were the princes all arbitrary? ”
He Jingying thought for a while and said: "It is indeed necessary to go through the table of hundreds of officials and the cabinet to agree. ”
Xiao Lian felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't figure out where this uneasiness came from.
Maybe he suddenly became a grandson, and he didn't adapt very much.
It was just while thinking about it that the carriage had returned to the Nanjun Palace. Yang Minzhi lifted the curtain and put the stool under the carriage.
Xiao Lian jumped out of the carriage and saw Yang Minzhi's coated expression, a little strange: "Ancestor, what's wrong with you?" Blowing the wind and catching a cold? ”
Yang Minzhi's brows frowned slightly: "Cold? ”
Xiao Lian: "Oh, the wind is cold. ”
Yang Minzhi shook his head: "It's just a little tired." ”
Xiao Lian: "Then you have to rest well." ”
Yang Minzhi nodded: "Then I'll go rest first." ”
Xiao Lian looked at Yang Minzhi's departing back and asked He Jingying: "Daughter-in-law, don't you think my ancestor is weird?" ”
He Jingying smiled helplessly: "Who knows? ”
In front of Xiao Lian, Xiao Zhaoye's problem of not liking to talk became more and more conspicuous.
He Jingying sighed in her heart, thinking that everyone had relived a lifetime, and whether the bad problems should also be properly corrected.
Maybe she was infected by Xiao Lian, He Jingying felt that using the words "bad disease" to explain Xiao Zhaoye's current state seemed to be less sad, which was a comfort to herself?
He Jingying rubbed her somewhat stiff face and waved her hand to Xiao Lian: "Your Royal Highness, I'll go back to the room." ”
Xiao Lian: "Okay, Concubine Taisun." ”
He Jingying was stunned, such a title is quite fresh.
Xiao Lian's smile was a little narrow: "It's still my daughter-in-law." ”
Such a statement is really a bit of a scoundrel. It's kind of like I'm relying on you not to leave.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian was still two steps away from her. Since that night, after He Jingying withdrew her hand, Xiao Lian has been like this. Two steps away from her.
If you don't want to, I'll wait quietly.
This is a tacit understanding, more of a kind of protection.
Xiao Lian's smile because of his sincerity made his eyes full of stars. He didn't move a single step when he said that in a rogue tone.
But He Jingying's heart moved.
It seems that in this world, there is nothing important for Xiao Lian.
When he was the prince, she was the princess. He is the grandson of the emperor, and she is the concubine. It doesn't matter what status, whatever the title. He only recognized her as his "daughter-in-law".
Although "daughter-in-law" is just a title. But he still didn't care. He just stood there quietly, watching the person in front of him. As if that were the case, he was satisfied.
How can one be so pure?
A muffled "thump" sound came from afar.
He Jingying sank into her own thoughts, and was startled by this voice. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been staring at Xiao Lian for a long time.
After a long time, Xiao Lian wiped his face, making sure that there was nothing on his face that he shouldn't have.
Xiao Lian looked up at the firewood room: "It seems to be a voice from over there?" ”
He Jingying rubbed her somewhat stiff neck: "I almost forgot, there is a dishonest one there." ”
He Jingying turned around and asked Xiao Lian, "I'm going to go to Meiyuan, are you going?" ”
Plum Temple? Xiao Lian thought for a while before remembering that there was also a "concubine" and "son" of his own in this mansion. Suddenly, he felt a green light flash above his head, and he was very resistant. But when I thought that He Jingying was going to Meiyuan to smash the field, she was a "husband", so she had to support whatever she said.
Xiao Lian: "I'll accompany you, but I won't go in, I'll wait for you at the door." ”
He Jingying nodded: "It's okay." ”
was taking two steps towards the firewood room, and suddenly remembered that no matter how bad Xu Wanyu was, Xiao Zhaoye Ming Media could be regarded as a guarantee to win the house. This matchmaker is still the emperor and his old man, should he talk to Xiao Zhaoye?
Suddenly, I remembered that Xiao Zhaoye was still the same cold face against Yang Minzhi's skin, so I didn't want to go to him again.
What's more, this matter hasn't been exposed yet, so I don't know.
He Jingying walked to the door of the firewood room and heard a muffled sound of "bang" again. He Jingying opened the door of the firewood room and saw the person inside tied to a chair and fell face to the ground.
I thought that Xu Longju was quite polite, there were so many pillars in the firewood room that I didn't need, and I also lifted a chair.
But speaking of which, it's no wonder that Xu Longju is no wonder. After all, this woman used to be half of Xu Longju's master.
Before He Jingying could make a move, Xiao Lian had already walked up, carrying the woman's collar and lifting the chair.
As soon as the woman saw that it was Xiao Lian, her eyes immediately became sad.
Xiao Lian frowned and looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" ”
This woman is Huo Chengbi who climbed his bed in Chong'an Mausoleum. Now when he heard Xiao Lian ask this, his eyes widened, and he almost wanted to burst into flames. The mouth is gagged and screams all the time.
Xiao Lian carried Huo Chengbi with one hand, and took out the rag from Huo Chengbi's mouth with the other.
As soon as he took off the rag, Huo Chengbi opened his mouth and scolded: "You are not a man!" ”
Xiao Lian casually stuffed the rag back again, turned around and asked He Jingying, "Did I provoke her?" ”
The "I" that Xiao Lian asked not only replaced himself, but also referred to Xiao Zhaoye. Since he doesn't know this woman, maybe Xiao Zhaoye knows?
He Jingying felt a little funny and said, "You used to put people and cabbage together. ”
Xiao Lian seemed to have lost his memory: "Me? ”
He Jingying explained: "He is the concubine of the first prince, the one who was almost sacrificed. ”
"Oh." Xiao Lian suddenly realized: "There were so many people who were sacrificed that day, how can I remember?" But why did she scold me? ”
He Jingying looked at Xiao Lian, who had intermittent amnesia, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Thinking about it from another perspective, if Huo Chengbi pulled out a knife and stabbed Xiao Lian now, she would be able to understand.
