Chapter 186: The palace changes hands
Xue Yi heard that the courtyard prince said that he was going to return to his master, staring at the courtyard prince in confusion, Xiaohu scolded him: "You are so bold! Dare to stop the mother's phoenix! ”
The courtyard man hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The girl is wrong, that is, to borrow a hundred guts from the old slave, and the old slave does not dare to stop the mother's phoenix drive, but it is only the duty of the old slave, since he is guarding the gate of the palace, he should go in and report to my master to come out to greet the mother." ”
Xue Yi took two steps back, stared at the courtyard and asked, "What did you say?" You repeat! Who is the owner of your house? Could it be that someone else lives in our palace? ”
Before the court officer could answer, a graceful male voice came from the courtyard: "How can someone else live in the palace of the king of Yu?" Naturally, he is a person who has a very strong relationship with the prince of Chongqing, and the mother is noble and lowly, and she hopes to forgive the five sons for not being well received. ”
Xue Yi looked up and saw that the fifth prince was wearing a white robe, with a pearl shining on the jade belt around his waist, and a handsome face that was more and more set off was fair and warm, he bowed and stood at the door of the moon, with a warm smile on his face, she looked at the fifth prince in surprise: "You....... How did you end up here? ”
The fifth prince smiled: "It seems that the emperor didn't tell you that he has given me this mansion, where can I live if I don't live here?" ”
"What did you say?!" Xue Yi was shocked, her eyes staring at the fifth prince, thinking that she had misheard.
"The emperor gave this palace to his subordinates, and the emperor wanted to give me the title of prince, but I declined, I just liked the tranquility of this palace, and it is even more unforgettable that the people in the palace stayed to guard this mansion." The fifth prince stared at Xue Yi affectionately, and there was something to say, as if this palace should have belonged to him, and it seemed that the emperor should have named him king, and he disdained Mingjue.
"How is that possible? The emperor once promised me to leave this palace to me! Xue Yi stared at the fifth prince, she still found it difficult to accept this fact, although she already knew in her heart that the fifth prince in front of her would never deceive her, let alone deceive her.
Before entering the palace, Xue Yi asked the emperor to leave this palace behind, Xue Yi wanted to leave a way back for the child in the womb, although the emperor promised that after the child fell into the grass, once it was a boy, he would be crowned the prince immediately, but Xue Yi really did not want Xiao Yichen's child to stay in the palace and become the child of Emperor Cheng, she hoped that this child could be a free prince.
"I don't know what happened to the princess in the early morning?" Seeing Xue Yi's confused expression, the fifth prince seemed to be disappointed and sad, so he changed the topic.
The fifth prince asked, Xue Yi only remembered the purpose of her coming, in those days in the palace, when she had nothing to do, she always liked to go to the garden to swing, the swing was next to a stone wall, over time, Xue Yi found a strange phenomenon, but when it rained, the lower half of the stone wall would turn dark brown, last night Emperor Cheng was worried about the drought in the capital, Xue Yi remembered the stone wall of the palace, and then quietly returned to the palace.
Xue Yi explained her intentions in the future, and the fifth prince bowed down and said an invitation: "Niangniang, please come in." Then he instructed the courtesy of the right people: "Niangniang Yuzu is coming to the door, she is here to ask for rain for the people, and this matter must not be known to outsiders, otherwise I want you to never speak again!" Let's go down! ”
The court resigned.
Xue Yi and others came to the front of the stone wall, Xue Yi held the swing in her hand, touched the past, tears filled her eyes, she thought that the palace was her final place, and she didn't want to make people, she actually became the imperial concubine, although it was unspeakably expensive, Nai was cold in the heights, and only she knew the suffering.
The fifth prince pulled out Dong Xiao from behind, pressed his ten fingers on Dong Xiao, the vast sky, the halo was cold, the sound of the flute was like a song and crying, as if telling the story of Xue Yi and Xiao Yichen, tears wet his clothes, Xue Yi suddenly woke up, turned to stare at the fifth prince, approached step by step, and asked, "Who are you?" Who are you? ”
The sound of the fifth son's flute was as if it came from the mouth of a person that Xue Yi heard in the mysterious courtyard that day!
Xue Yi remembers very clearly, in those days, she often came here secretly, listened to the mysterious man's, and the mysterious man's poems and harmony, when she first saw the fifth son, she felt that his voice was familiar, and he had an illusion that she had known for a long time, because of the new funeral, she didn't dare to speculate, let alone think nonsense, today's fifth prince asked the sky, so that she seemed to return to that time.
"Is that you? Is it really you? You weren't burned to death?! Xue Yi remembered that there was a sudden fire in the courtyard that day, she found the crypt, but she didn't see the person locked in the crypt, she thought he was burned to death, and even when she was cranky, she thought that this person had been wiped out by Xiao Yichen, and she didn't want to see her here today!
The fifth prince answered the question, and a wry smile appeared on Jun's face: "Niangniang, the deceased has passed away, don't be sad for the unworthy person, you ask me if it's him, I don't know if it's time to answer you, because I don't know who I am now, I can only tell Niangniang that I have an inextricable relationship with the emperor and Xiao Yichen, and I can't tell whether it's a favor or a grudge." “
Xue Yi had already determined that the fifth prince in front of her was the mysterious man imprisoned in the basement by Xiao Yichen, and she smiled lightly: "The vast road, looking back at the past, I am confused; Hatred is bitter, and longing is sleepy. Since ancient times, heroes have been lonely, and their fate is difficult to help others; The flowers bloom, but the people are gone. In the past, the kindness fell, and now the sky sighs softly, the snowflakes fly, and people cry. ”
Tears fell, her clothes were wet, she didn't know how many secrets Xiao Yichen still hid from her! She didn't know how many things Emperor Cheng, who kept saying that he loved her and loved her, didn't tell her!
Intuition told Xue Yi that the fifth prince in front of him was by no means an idle person, he had no name and no surname, and he regarded himself as the fifth son. must be ranked fifth in the family, and now Emperor Cheng is the fifth prince, is there anything between them?
"Xueyi, don't be speculating, even I can't tell myself, let alone you? I asked the sky this song just to want you to understand, everything is doomed, don't be sad about the past, don't be blinded by the people in front of you again, just do what you want to do. Seeing that Xue Yi was silent, the fifth prince couldn't help but regret his recklessness, Xue Yi's cleverness and wisdom, if he wanted to find out the truth, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to stop it.
Xue Yi nodded and smiled: "I didn't guess the identity of the childe, and I didn't want to explore the relationship between the prince and the emperor and the prince, as the prince said, the past has passed, and the living person is more important, I have achieved the purpose of coming here today, so I will leave." ”
Xue Yi turned around and stopped her steps and turned her back to the fifth prince with a deep blessing: "Since the emperor has given the palace to the prince, then Xue Yi has a reluctant request." ”
"Please."
"The five princes are kind to the magnolia flowers in the palace, although Xue Yi doesn't know what these magnolia flowers mean to the prince, but Xue Yi knows that the prince's favorite is the magnolia in this garden." Xue Yi looked at the magnolia trees around the palace, Xiao Yichen liked to rely on the magnolia trees to meditate on before his death.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep the palace as it was, especially your boudoir." The fifth prince nodded in agreement.
"Xue Yi, do you really report to the emperor truthfully? It is said that there is a stone wall in the palace, can you tell when it rains? Say you've been to the palace? The fifth prince looked at Xue Yi's back meaningfully.
"Why should I hide it?"
"Xue Yi didn't want to hide it, so why did she come behind the emperor's back? I think you know the emperor very well, love is deeply responsible, suspicion is his fatal wound, if you don't want to provoke right and wrong, or pretend not to know about the affairs of this Yu Palace. The fifth prince said that Xue Yi's worries were met, and she really didn't want the emperor to know that she was coming back to Yuwangfu.
Although Xue Yi has decided to treat Emperor Cheng wholeheartedly, Emperor Cheng is suspicious by nature, as long as he needs to frown slightly, he will worry that Xue Yi is missing Xiao Yichen, so Xue Yi came out quietly.
"Some sons kindly reminded Xue Yi to leave." When Xue Yi left the Yuwang Mansion, it was already dark, she lowered her cloak, covered most of her face, and got into the carriage.
The horse spread its hooves and galloped towards the palace, and Xue Yi suddenly stopped the coachman: "Stop!" ”
"Woo ......." The coachman hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, and the horse's hooves took off and turned around twice before stopping.
Liu Nong fell to the ground, Xiaohu also leaned on the wall of the carriage on his back, looking at Liu Nong's giggles, Liu Nong glared at Xiaohu, got up and touched his waist and asked Xueyi: "What does this mean?" If it's too late, we won't be able to go back to the palace. ”
"Liu Nong, we won't go back to the palace!" Xue Yi thoughtfully opened the sedan curtain and looked outside.
"What?! Don't go back to the palace?! “
"Don't go back to the palace?!"
Liu Nong Xiaohu heard Xue Yi say that he would not return to the palace for the time being, and screamed in unison, the two of them shook, and almost fell again, and their eyes fell on Xue Yi's face with both shock and fear.
Xue Yi nodded solemnly: "If you don't go back to the palace, let's go directly to the Yuyuan Altar, Liu Nong, you go now, go to Xiao Xiao Guard, and ask him to find seven seven hundred and forty-nine Taoist priests, and then seven seven forty-nine monks, and let them come to the Yuyuan Altar to find me!" “
Liu Nong looked at Xue Yi uneasily: "I won't go, let Xiaohu go, I want to guard my mother." “
"Sister Liu, how could Escort Xiao listen to me? Or you go. Xiaohu hurriedly got off the carriage.
Liu Nong really didn't worry about Xue Yi, Xue Yi's body was already delicate, she hadn't slept a peaceful sleep for several days, Imperial Doctor Qin also repeatedly told her that her body was weak and not suitable for fatigue, this place was still a few miles away from the Yuyuan Altar, I was afraid that Xue Yi would be unable to bear the pain of the carriage bumps, but Xue Yi had already made up her mind, she knew what Liu Nong cared about, and comforted Liu Nong: "Liu Nong, don't worry, I know my body myself, as long as you go back quickly, it's okay, the emperor will not blame me for leaving the palace without permission." “
Liu Nong knew Xue Yi's temper very well, and knew that she was right, so she had to tell Xiaohu to take care of Xue Yi and jump out of the carriage to find Xiao Yi by herself.
"Niangniang, are we really not going back to the palace? The emperor won't be angry if he can't find his mother, right? Xiaohu saw the carriage galloping out of the city, and looked at Xue Yi worriedly.
