Chapter 117-118 Returning home

The figure in front of him shook, and it was too late. Gonggong Li hurriedly lowered his head, looking respectful, just afraid of being recognized by the new princess. If this was in the palace, he might not have been so afraid. It's a pity that this is the Xianwang Mansion, on other people's territory, and it's not a matter of one sentence to want to do something to him. When the emperor and the concubine knew, even if they had the heart to protect him, it would be too late. And this idle king is notoriously not taking etiquette and religion into account, and he can do everything!

Gonggong Li has been arrogant, as long as it is not in front of the emperor and the noble concubine, with his identity and status, he can almost go sideways anywhere. It's just that he came to this idle king's mansion, and then suddenly remembered that the princess of the idle king had been offended by himself more than once or twice. If it was before, he would have nothing to be afraid of, but he also heard that King Xian and the princess had teamed up to make the emperor and the concubine so ugly in front of so many ministers and even the envoys of the Mongolian State, so he knew even more that neither the prince nor the princess was easy to mess with.

As the emperor's confidant, of course, he also knew that the emperor must attend the martial arts competition this time. It's just that the far water can't save the near fire, so he should take care of his eyes first.

Xuanyuan Yichen looked at Gonggong Li, and felt puzzled in his heart, although he was also respectful in front of him, he was far from being so respectful. He looked at Liu Qingyan, Liu Qingyan felt his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and there was a cold smile hidden in his eyes. Xuanyuan Yichen immediately guessed that there must be some festival between Gonggong Li and Liu Qingyan, today can be said to be the first time Liu Qingyan has met Gonggong Li since becoming the princess, no wonder he is afraid of this.

Xuanyuan Yichen walked forward unhurriedly, and said slowly and methodically: "Gonggong Li, it's not easy to walk at night, right?" ”

He meant two things. Gonggong Li came so early, although the Xianwang Mansion and the palace were on two adjacent streets, Gonggong Li must have walked by night to come over. There is also "walking too much at night to inevitably encounter ghosts", and if you do too many bad things, you will always be retaliated. He bullied Liu Qingyan, who used to be the queen, in the past, and today he may be retaliated against by Liu Qingyan, who has become the princess.

Gonggong Li did this position, how could he not understand what Xuanyuan Yichen meant, he immediately bent his waist lower, his voice became more respectful, and he said: "Thank you for your concern, the slave will not make such a mistake in the future, and please forgive me." ”

Xuanyuan Yichen had already walked in front of him, and still said with a smile: "It's not easy to walk at night, don't go in the future." However, Gonggong Li didn't just disturb the king alone, can you forgive me, Gonggong Li has to ask one more person. "He is angry with Liu Qingyan, and whether he wants to leave this father-in-law Li to Liu Qingyan himself has the final say.

Liu Qingyan looked at this Father-in-law Li lightly, and saw that Father-in-law Li's body obviously began to tremble, and she said coldly: "Qingyan and this Father-in-law Li are also old acquaintances. Qingyan didn't stay in the palace for a long time, but thanks to the noble concubine, he also met Gonggong Li a few times. Presumably Gonggong Li must still remember Qingyan. As for what she did in those few meetings, she and this Gonggong Li both knew and would not forget.

Speaking of which, the former Liu Qingyan also responded to the sentence "Poor people must have something to hate", she ended up with a broken family and her soul returned to the world, she is definitely a poor person. But she is the Three Dynasty Yuan; The only daughter of Prime Minister Lao Liu is the supreme queen, but when she arrives, she is bullied by a concubine, a eunuch and a group of people with a higher status, how can it not make people feel hateful.

It's just that although the current Liu Qingyan lives in place of the former, she will never live like her. Since she married into the Xian Wangfu and became the princess of the idle prince, her life has changed completely. It's just that her purpose has not changed from beginning to end, and that is revenge!

As soon as Liu Qingyan's sentence was clearly a grudge, Gonggong Li immediately knelt down with a "poof", and shouted in a row: "The princess atonements, the slave and maid have no eyes, and they will never dare to do it again." Please let the princess not remember the villain and forgive the slave. He kept saying sparing his life, not mentioning the things he did to the former queen that day, it sounded as if Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were just punishing him like this because he came too early on the emperor's orders today.

When it came to the end, he was still playing such a cautious eye, and he was worthy of being Gonggong Li who had been by Xuanyuan Yixing's side for so many years. Liu Qingyan didn't think about what to do with him, anyway, he was just a pawn like a wall. It's just that looking at him like this now, Liu Qingyan doesn't want to let him go like this. But after thinking about it again, the most important thing today is not how to deal with him, but the upcoming martial arts competition. In this case, let him go for the time being today, and the gentleman will take revenge, and there is no need to rush for a while.

These thoughts were just a flash, and between the lightning and flint, Liu Qingyan's figure moved, took a step back, and avoided Gonggong Li's kneeling. Her cold voice continued: "Gonggong Li, why bother. The ancients said, 'Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and being good is great'. As long as Gonggong Li can do what he says, and never make the same mistake in the future, the prince and Qingyan will naturally not be blamed in the past. It's just that in the future, I will ask Gonggong Li to serve the emperor and the noble concubine well. ”

When she said this, she regarded it as letting Gonggong Li go. Xuanyuan Yichen also said: "Gonggong Li, the ground is cold, you are also old, hurry up." ”

"Yes." Gonggong Li agreed, and then slowly stood up. However, as Xuanyuan Yichen said, he is old, and basically others see him kneeling, even when he serves the emperor, he rarely kneels, and today is rare, his body actually stumbled, fortunately, he quickly stabilized, otherwise I am afraid that I will be here in front of so many people, and directly throw a dog to gnaw mud.

The man stood up, but when he came, the momentum was completely gone. The whole person groveled, and he didn't even dare to say a word. Not to mention daring to urge the prince and princess to hurry up to the competition venue. But fortunately, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan will come out, and they were originally going to go. There was no need for him to say anything, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan walked in front.

At the gate of the Xianwang Mansion, two large carriages have already been parked, the carriages are very luxurious, just looking outside, you can imagine how spacious and comfortable it is inside. The four horses pulling the two carriages are also rare and rare BMWs, and there are people standing on both sides of the carriage to guard the carriage. There are also people who lead the four horses, all of whom are specially responsible for taking care of these horses on weekdays. This is the posture that the real palace should put on.

The carriage that Gonggong Li was riding in also stopped aside, and two little eunuchs followed. Seeing Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan coming out, before they could see what the parents looked like, they all quickly lowered their heads and respectfully greeted An. Who in the capital doesn't know that the idle king can't afford to offend. This is true for those who can't see the emperor, but it's also true for those who serve the emperor every day. No one knows when this idle king, who obviously doesn't know anything, but is so favored by the emperor and enjoys a lot of privileges alone, will suddenly be angry and poisoned because of something or someone! No one dares to take this kind of risk, so it's better to be honest.

Xuanyuan Yichen got into the carriage first, took a hand, and led Liu Qingyan up, and only after Liu Qingyan entered the carriage did he follow in. Liu Qingyan's ability is not weaker than him, and he doesn't need to take care of him so much at all. But as a man, it is necessary for him to take care of his beloved woman in this way, which is also his care and thoughtfulness.

The others also got into their carriages and sat in their seats. Soon, the carriages were activated. The horses' hooves stamped on the stone road, walking unhurriedly, making a rhythmic "tap and tap" sound, and the sound of wheels rolling on the stone road.

Liu Qingyan listened to these voices, looked at Xuanyuan Yichen beside him, and couldn't help asking, "Do you often do this kind of thing?" ”

"What" Xuanyuan Yichen was a little unclear, but felt that she asked very suddenly and unexpectedly.

Liu Qingyan turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window, not wanting him to see through his thoughts, but he still continued: "Take the other women's hands in the car, help the other women and let them sit down first and then sit." Do you do this kind of thing so often that it's so natural and habitual? ”

Xuanyuan Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a smile.

Although Liu Qing's cigarette butt twisted to the other side, the corner of his eye saw his shaking head, so he asked, "Can't say it or don't want to say it?" ”

"No, no." Xuanyuan Yichen smiled and answered truthfully. Not really. Although all the rumors say that he always lingers among the flowers, there are countless confidants around him. It's not like he hasn't been in the same carriage with these fans and then out to play together. But he really hadn't been so attentive to any woman. One is that he is the prince, with his identity and status, wherever he goes, it is enough to make all women flock to him, so he doesn't need to do this. The second is that those fights are just a play, and he is not willing to spend these thoughts to be so careful, considerate and caring for these women. So, never.

"You're the first and only one." Xuanyuan Yichen didn't mind letting Liu Qingyan know how important she really was to him, and he also hoped that this would make her more important in her heart.

Liu Qingyan still didn't look back, but the corners of her slightly hooked lips had already revealed her thoughts.

The traffic is busy and the crowds are surging. As far as the eye can see, it is all a crowd of people rubbing shoulders one after another, and it is difficult to move an inch. The ears are also full of voices, boiling and boiling. The day is empty, but it is late summer and early autumn, and it is not very hot weather, but just seeing so many people and hearing so many noisy sounds, even if it is not hot, I will feel hot and even become irritable.

Fifteen, who was driving the carriage, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, turned around and knocked on the door of the carriage, and shouted loudly: "Lord, princess, there are too many people, if you drive the carriage, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass." "Even if their own carriage still has a sign belonging to the Xian Wangfu, the pedestrians will not recognize it, but even if they want to hide, there must be a place for them to dodge.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan lifted the curtain and looked outside through the screen window, sure enough, they were all people, and the distance between them and the carriage was so close that it seemed that the gas exhaled from the tip of their noses could blow on each other's bodies. There were all people in front of and behind, sitting in the carriage, riding on horses, even if they didn't have anything with them and walked on a pair of feet, they were all trapped in place, unable to move an inch.

Even a few horses, accustomed to seeing the world, seemed to be frightened when they saw so many people, and let the whip of fifteen still beat them, that is, they were stagnant.

Looking at this situation, I don't know if I will be able to get to the venue of the martial arts competition today. From this point of view, maybe Gonggong Li also has his reason for coming so early, at least if they also go out early, they don't have to be so embarrassed to be trapped in the middle of the road now.

Looking at such a crowded and dense crowd, Liu Qingyan suddenly felt that he might have been used to it a long time ago, in this modern society with an already swollen population, where are there not so many people holding a grand event. And it's just crowded together, at least there's no long dragon that can't see the beginning or the end. Compared to the modern crowding, it is far from it.

In addition to crowding, there is another thing in common, and that is to join in the fun. People who walk on this road are bound to go to the same destination. Obviously, only princes, nobles, generals and soldiers can participate in the martial arts competition, and it is very likely that they will not even be able to enter it to watch the battle, but they have attracted the interest of so many people, and they have rushed here. And looking at this driving, not many people have the intention of returning halfway. In order to join in the fun, it really took a lot of effort.

I didn't really understand what these people were thinking, and although they didn't take this too seriously, Liu Qingyan still looked at Xuanyuan Yichen and asked, "Haven't you also attended this competition before?" There weren't so many people at that time? "If they had known it would be so crowded, they could have been prepared, no. Don't let Xuanyuan Yixing see that they haven't arrived for a long time, and think that they are scared and obscene.

But Liu Qingyan wronged Xuanyuan Yichen, he really didn't know. Xuanyuan Yichen spread his hands and said, "I've only been here once or twice, and I always came in the afternoon when it was almost over, so I wouldn't have to stay long before I left." I've never been here so early, let alone since then. But now that I think about it, it seems that there are also those fox friends who have told him about the crowded scene, but he has a mentality that he has nothing to do with himself, so he naturally doesn't take it to heart.

Both of them frowned, according to this situation, whether they continue to drive the carriage or walk as a car, they are afraid that they will not be able to reach the competition venue, but they can't be trapped here all the time, so what should they do?

Fifteen waited for a while and didn't hear the answer from the prince and the princess, and asked anxiously what to do. Even Gonggong Li got out of the carriage, and with the support and accompaniment of the two little fathers-in-law beside him, he finally squeezed to the side of Xuanyuan Yichen's carriage, he obviously didn't have any good ideas, and he also came to ask Xuanyuan Yichen what to do.

Xuanyuan Yichen sneered and said, "Gonggong Li, you have also seen that there are so many people, it's not that this king doesn't want to go, but he really can't go." Everyone can testify to King Xian, and if the emperor blames him, he can only ask Gonggong Li to tell the truth. "Listen to what he means, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I really can't go, but don't blame me!

Gonggong Li was anxious all of a sudden, he had already delayed so much time today, if the matter had not been completed, he was afraid that he would really have to go back to his life. With a flick of his hands, he pushed away the support of the two little eunuchs on the left and right, and his hands barely lay on the window of the carriage, but no matter how hard he tried, there was still a thin layer of screen between him and Xuanyuan Yichen. He really wanted to stab the screen with a ruthless hand, but the residual reason still made it impossible for him to do so. But it was enough to make him go crazy.

"Lord Wang, how can this be? The saint ordered three times, but he said that he must let the prince arrive at the competition venue on time. Lord Wang, you have been delayed for a lot of time, if you haven't gone yet, the Holy Lord will not be able to explain there! "The closer you are to the Holy Being, the more familiar and familiar you are, the more you know how terrible the Holy One is. And Gonggong Li is precisely the person who knows the horror of the Holy and is the most vulnerable to the punishment of the Holy One. He really can't afford such a big crime.

However, Xuanyuan Yichen didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, and said with a sneer: "Gonggong Li, anyway, this king is trapped here, and everything that should be said has been said." As for how to explain to the emperor, that's your business. You can do it yourself, and this king will not accompany you. As he spoke, he was about to push open the door of the carriage before he stepped forward, and seeing what he meant, he should have said to Fifteen to "go home".

Father-in-law Li's old face, which had turned red from heat and crowding, instantly turned pale, and the large hot sweat that came out of his forehead suddenly turned into cold sweat. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat that had already flowed to the corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose, but hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, you wait first!" The slave still has something to say......"

Xuanyuan Yichen glanced back at him, but he was not in a hurry, he just motioned for him to continue with his eyes.

The beads of sweat on Grandpa Li's forehead are still bubbling out, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid that there will be droplets of water in his eyes that will start to bubble out. "Lord Wang......" Gonggong Li hesitated, wanting to say but didn't dare to say it, but compared to the idle king, the saint is the most terrifying one. The balance in his heart had been toppled, and Gonggong Li puffed up his words and continued: "Lord Wang, you have also seen it, if you continue to sit in the carriage, not to mention that there are so many people, even the horse will not dare to go." Lord, according to the foolish opinion of the slave, it is better to do this......"

Speaking of this, he paused again, and when he saw Xuanyuan Yichen's eyes waiting for him to continue, he still continued to say: "Lord Wang, it is better to bother you and the princess to get out of the carriage and walk over together." Anyway, it's not far from here, and it's a little crowded, but the slave thinks she'll be there soon. When they arrived at the venue, the prince and the princess could be much more comfortable. The prince ......"

Under Xuanyuan Yichen's staring eyes, Gonggong Li's voice became lower and lower, smaller and smaller, and finally completely drowned in the surrounding voices. The coldness in Xuanyuan Yichen's eyes, even through a veil, made Gonggong Li feel the chill through his body, and he didn't dare to make a sound anymore. But he was so anxious that he forgot that now that the carriage was trapped here, not to mention that it was impossible to continue the tens of millions of venues, even if he had to go back, it was equally impossible. So his worries were in vain.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan didn't say anything, they just watched how he was in a hurry. Whoever let these things happen to him, what kind of master he is following, what kind of things he is doing, he deserves to be so frightened.

The carriage was very spacious and tall, but Xuanyuan Yichen's figure was even taller. He didn't bother to pay attention to Gonggong Li's ramblings, walked a few steps briskly to the edge of the carriage, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw that the road not far in front of him had rolled up a long smoke and dust, and the roaring horses' hooves were even more continuous. In such a crowded street, there is an echo.

Fifteen was also looking over there, not noticing that Xuanyuan Yichen was sitting beside him. The two of them watched as a large group of people were hurrying towards this side. Everywhere he passed, he waved his whip high in his hand and struck not only the horses he was riding, but also the innocent people who were trapped on the road and had nowhere to hide.

All of a sudden, there was already a wailing all over the field. It was mixed with the neighing of horses and the shouting of men in the same attire on horses: "Get out of here! If you're not afraid of death, get out of the way! Those who died deserved it! ”

Some people reacted a little faster, and when they saw this group of people approaching them, even if they had no place to hide, and the disaster was coming, they still quickly found a place to hide. It doesn't matter if there is a door or a window behind him, and he doesn't care whether he is someone else's shop or an ordinary person's house that he breaks into. They were lucky, just some big fright, and a small whip or scrape.

And there are even more people who don't have such a reaction, let alone such luck, seeing that the whip is drawn towards them, they can't dodge, and there is a long and deep blood mark on their bodies immediately. There are also people who are lucky enough to avoid the horsewhip, but unfortunately fall, and before they can get up in time, they are only trampled on by others and injured.

The horse went mad from the fright and the sharp pain of the whip on him, and even more so, watched as the horse's two hooves rose into the air and fell towards him. The whole person was already so frightened that he was about to pass out, and where did he still have the ability to hide. There are people who are trampled on by the horse's hooves alive, spit out a mouthful of blood, and I don't know if they are still alive.
