Chapter 056: Leaving Zhi Rouge Behind
Murong Yixuan shook his head helplessly, if he was someone else, he might not be very happy, he would regard this as a great favor, but the woman in front of him actually regarded this thing as a hot potato, and wanted to push it out as soon as possible to feel at ease!
"Xiao Chengxi, do you know that if you let others know that you have this thing in your hand, it will make people think that I, Murong Yixuan, are covering you, and others will not dare to bully you?" Murong Yixuan seemed to be in a good mood, lowered his head slightly, looked at Xiao Chengxi, and asked such a question.
"Is that what you call grace?" Xiao Chengxi heard the most words in Wan'er's mouth, these two words, shaking his head like a rattle, "If you want to say that other women enter the palace, they rely on grace to gain a foothold, but I can't, between you and me, it's just using each other, His Royal Highness the Seventh wants to know the truth, I want to use the power in His Highness's hands to protect my relatives, that's all." Xiao Chengxi had already closed the door of his heart, and secretly resolved not to open it.
"Can you be so clear all the time?" After Xiao Chengxi finished saying that, he had already lowered his head, waiting for Murong Yixuan's upcoming storm, but he didn't expect that his anger that came from him did not appear, but said such a sentence so calmly!
Can you? Although Xiao Chengxi can answer this question, she can resolutely say yes, but is it really so? In her mind, didn't she keep thinking about the scene when Murong Yixuan personally rubbed the medicine for her during the day!
"I'll do my best!" Xiao Chengxi seemed to be a little hesitant, and she didn't have the decisiveness just now, she didn't want the two of them to talk in such an atmosphere again, so she changed the topic, "Your Highness, can I ask you a question?" ”
Murong Yixuan couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw that Xiao Chengxi could be freed from an emotion so quickly, but when he heard Xiao Chengxi's words, he nodded indifferently.
"What the hell is that rookie hall?" During the day, the person who was ordered to be killed by Murong Yixuan, Xiao Chengxi had already been saved, and she remembered that Zhi Yan.
Murong Yixuan raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know what Xiao Chengxi's purpose was, but he knew very well that what Xiao Chengxi wanted to ask was Zhi Yan: "What are you asking for?" ”
"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, since I can not pursue those two eunuchs, I naturally don't want to hold Zhi Yan back, I saw His Royal Highness mention the Rookie Pavilion, Zhi Yan was so panicked, I wondered, what kind of place is there?" Xiao Chengxi tried his best to explain his purpose, only hoping that he would not misunderstand himself.
"The Rookie Pavilion is a place for inferior women such as palace maids to enter and leave the palace." Murong Yixuan explained expressionlessly, as if he was still minding Zhi Yan's behavior.
"Palace maid?" This answer made Xiao Chengxi confused, this Zhi Yan, isn't it his concubine, how was he sent to that place, it doesn't make sense?
Looking at Xiao Chengxi's puzzled face, Murong Yixuan shook his head and began to explain: "Don't you know, the women who enter the palace to run for concubines, or choose concubines for the princes, are sent to the Rookie Palace, and those who are palace maids and other female officials in the palace are sent to the Rookie Pavilion. ”
Xiao Chengxi listened carefully, feeling that this Zhi Yan should not be sent to the rookie hall, and his frowning brows tightened.
Looking at Xiao Chengxi's appearance of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, Murong Yixuan felt a little helpless in his heart, but at this moment, he found the feeling of getting along with each other all night in Jincheng, so he pulled a chair, sat down, and motioned for Xiao Chengxi to do the same.
"The prince of Qingxiao Kingdom, when he is fifteen years old, the Jingshi Fang will choose a good-looking woman to sleep, this Zhiyan is the first woman sent to sleep when I was fifteen years old, according to the rules, after a year, she should be sent outside the palace." Murong Yixuan's voice was calm, and he slowly talked about the past.
Xiao Chengxi realized that it turned out that this Zhi Yan was such an identity, but she was not sent out, and became his concubine, Xiao Chengxi couldn't help but have doubts in his heart again.
Murong Yixuan continued: "But at that time, I took pity on her situation after being sent out of the palace, so I kept her. ”
"What will happen to them if they are sent out of the palace?" Xiao Chengxi is really a little worried, because a year has long been incomplete, and after leaving the palace, what can he do!
"They will be sent to a nunnery not far from the emperor, and then they will take refuge in Buddhism." Murong Yixuan said calmly, "But in this life, there is no need for food and clothing, even their families will live without worry." ”
"Maybe the women who are sent here will be women from very poor families." Xiao Chengxi thought to himself, which parent would send their daughter out to bear such a fate, but immediately, Xiao Chengxi asked again, "But what if they get pregnant within this year?" ”
"Impossible." Murong Yixuan shook his head, "Because every time they go to bed, they will be given a decoction, and they will not get pregnant, and even their foundation will be damaged after a year, and they will generally be infertile in this life." ”
Xiao Chengxi's face was cold, this completely used these women as tools! Her body moved unnaturally, and her fists were subconsciously clenched, which made her impression of the Qingxiao Palace greatly discounted, and she felt very uncomfortable!
Looking at Xiao Chengxi's face, Murong Yixuan smiled embarrassedly: "What, you're uncomfortable?" ”
"Nope!" Xiao Chengxi was a little reluctant to speak more, but coldly spit out two words.
Murong Yixuan hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile: "It's not like you think, most of the nine princes in the Qingxiao Palace still take care of these women, like me, as long as the one-year period is about to expire, a word can change their fate, and they can stay in their palace instead of sending other women." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chengxi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, she was a little embarrassed, what was she doing, as if there had been a girl before digging this Murong Yixuan! Thinking of this, Xiao Chengxi was suddenly a little cramped, but his heart slowly relaxed a lot, it can be seen that Murong Yixuan is kind, Zhi Yan has followed him for so many years, and finally became his concubine, occupying a place in this Junyi Palace.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chengxi raised his head, the smile on his face was a little unnatural, and he always felt that he had become too fast: "Your Highness, take back your order, don't send that Zhi Yan out." ”
Murong Yixuan couldn't help but be a little stunned, if she were an ordinary woman, she would be happy because there was one less person competing for favor, but this Xiao Chengxi actually asked herself to take that woman back!
"Why?" Murong Yixuan subconsciously blurted out a question, but in his heart, he didn't expect an answer.
"Because that woman's fate is too hard, it can be better if she stays in your palace." Xiao Chengxi's mind was completely on the body of that Zhi Yan's tragic fate, "Don't change her fate because of me, if she is sent to that nunnery, it may be even more difficult for her to accept than killing her." ”
Looking at Xiao Chengxi like this, Murong Yixuan actually pulled her wrist up: "Xiao Chengxi, do you know that it won't be long before you will marry me with great fanfare, besides, your body is ......" With a hint of anger, he suddenly mentioned the night in Tongcheng that made them both very embarrassed.
Murong Yixuan's anger had nothing to do with the grievances between them, Xiao Chengxi could see it clearly, she wanted to ask, but when the words came to her mouth, she still swallowed back, but she didn't struggle to pull out her hand, and smiled slightly: "Isn't this a name that has been set a long time ago, what's the fuss, anyway, the relationship between you and me understands each other." She automatically ignored the night he had inadvertently brought up.
Look at this calm woman, she can even ignore her own reputation, or she doesn't care at all! Thinking of this, Murong Yixuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, the ointment on the table was his treasure, he could paint her face without hesitation, she didn't even touch it at all!
"Your Highness the Seventh, do you still want to break my wrist!" Xiao Chengxi frowned tightly, his voice was a little trembling, but his tone was not flustered.
Only then did Murong Yixuan realize that the force he used was too great! But he didn't feel guilty, who let Xiao Chengxi touch his scales again and again!
When Murong Yixuan let go, Xiao Chengxi frowned and rubbed his wrist: "What kind of kung fu are you practicing, why are you so vigorous!" ”
"What, you're really interested in kung fu?" Murong Yixuan raised his eyebrows and changed the subject, he just wanted to dispel his trace of anger, because he couldn't say why.
As soon as he mentioned these, Xiao Chengxi suddenly came to his senses, and the smile on his face became a lot lighter: "Can I really do it, I'm really interested in these!" "Xiao Chengxi is still very depressed about his weak body until now, and when he encounters any dangerous situation, he simply has more than enough heart and not enough strength!
"Presumably when I was attacked, you also saw that you can't learn my internal strength, if you have the opportunity, you can learn from Yanfeng." Speaking of this, Murong Yixuan's face showed a very complicated expression!
This made Xiao Chengxi very surprised, thinking back to the scene of the day, Xiao Chengxi couldn't help but subconsciously speak: "Although Chengxi doesn't understand how His Highness's internal injuries are caused, he still hopes that His Highness can be safe, and sometimes, don't be too persistent, has His Highness's internal injuries fully recovered?" ”
Seeing that Xiao Chengxi still cared about himself in the end, Murong Yixuan's mood eased a lot: "It's nothing, how can you be interested in these?" ”
"Because I want to protect my relatives, I want to be stronger, so as not to encounter emergencies and become a burden to others!" Xiao Chengxi clenched his fists and said.
