Chapter 17: In the Dead of Night

Xue Yi walked into the back room and was stunned in place, Xiao Yichen sat on the warm couch topless, with a layer of gauze wrapped around his shoulders, and five or six small blue porcelain vases beside him. οΌ₯οΌ΄

Xiao Yichen listened to the sound of breathing but didn't see anyone moving, and when he raised his head to see that it was Xue Yi, he was also shocked in his heart.

Xiao Yichen's ugly face sank: "Why are you?" If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you running around? ”

Xue Yi ignored Xiao Yichen's question, and walked over to help Xiao Yichen remove the old gauze on his shoulder: "The prince has an injury, why don't you call someone to serve him." Xue Yi's hand had just touched Xiao Yichen's skin.

Xiao Yichen suddenly pushed Xue Yi away: "Get out!" Take away your dirty hands! ”

Xue Yi staggered, took three or five steps back to stabilize her body, her little face was already red, she thought that after the snow lion in front of the palace, Xiao Yichen would be able to treat her better, even if she didn't accept her, she wouldn't humiliate her anymore, but now it seems that it was just her own volition.

Xue Yi smiled sadly, a tear fell to the ground, she had to endure the fear in her heart to help Xiao Yichen, but in exchange for indifference.

"Follow me!" Xiao Yichen had already dressed, rocked his wheelchair and crossed Xue Yi, ordering Xue Yi to follow him. Xue Yi silently followed behind Xiao Yichen, keeping a distance of ten steps from him.

Walking and walking, Xiao Yichen's wheelchair was mixed with something, the wheelchair overturned, Xiao Yichen fell to the ground, and roared at Xue Yi behind him: "Slut, do you want to see this king fall to death?!" ”

Xue Yi wanted to step forward to help Xiao Yichen up, but thinking about his attitude in the house just now, Xue Yi was quietly blessed: "The concubine's hands are dirty and cheap, and she didn't have to dirty the prince's jade body." ”

Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes, obviously he didn't expect Xue Yi to treat him like this, he simply sat on the ground and played tricks: "Hmph, the fox's tail is exposed, you still dislike me after all, and the more you dislike me, the more I won't let you go." ”

Xue Yi was helpless, who was finding fault for no reason, and who disliked whom, since I entered the gate of the palace, how could you, the prince, ever give me half a smile and a normal person's words? !

Xue Yi ignored Xiao Yichen's unreasonable trouble, stood there and tilted her head and asked him: "I can help you up, but I'm afraid that my cheap hands will dirty your jade clothes and make you unhappy." ”

"I said that your hands are cheap, your hands are cheap, and now I didn't say that your hands are cheap, so naturally they are not cheap." Xiao Yichen is serious, which makes Xue Yi laugh.

Xiao Yichen was cold for a while and hot for a while, sitting on the ground and playing tricks, Xue Yi was physically and mentally exhausted, she just wanted to return to her room quickly, looking at Xiao Yichen on the ground, she reluctantly walked over and leaned over to support Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen seemed to have both intentionally and unintentionally, his arms wrapped around Xue Yi's neck, and the whole person hung on Xue Yi's body like a baby, Xue Yi was the first time to get along with a strange man so closely, and somehow the soulless face of Concubine Jing in the nameless house appeared in her mind.

Xue Yi couldn't be afraid of that ugly face, she only felt that her face was as hot as fire.

Xiao Yichen struggled to stand up but it backfired, the whole person fell to the ground again, Xueyi, who was tightly surrounded by him, fell into his arms with Xiao Yichen's fall, Xiao Yichen wrapped his arms around his slender waist, and said badly: "Why is your face so red?" ”

Xue Yi was annoyed in her heart, and she broke free of Xiao Yichen with all her strength, and pushed her hands on Xiao Yichen's shoulders, Xiao Yichen screamed bitterly: "You-do you want to murder your husband!" ”

Xiao Yichen covered his left shoulder with one hand, his eyebrows were locked, and he looked extremely painful, Xue Yi raised her vigilance, worried about being fooled again, and sat five steps away from Xiao Yichen and looked at him: "Don't lie to me, your injury should have no major problem for a long time." ”

Before Xiao Yichen could speak, Xiao Yichen's night clothes fell beside the two, Xiao Yi helped Xiao Yichen up and turned to Xue Yi and said, "The prince didn't lie to you, the prince was injured two days agoβ€”β€”"

"Xiao Yan, you talk too much!" Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Yichen's face sank and stopped Xiao Yu's words.

"How's that going?"

Xiao Yi looked at Xue Yi, attached to Xiao Yichen's side and said something in a very low voice, Xiao Yichen's eyes fell on Xue Yi, swept over, and raised his eyebrows slightly, Xue Yi found out for the first time that this prince was not so terrible and ugly.

Looking at Xiao Yichen's uncertain face, Xue Yi's heart jumped wildly, she didn't know what Xiao Yichen sent Xiao Yu to investigate, whether it had something to do with her and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mama Gong's voice interrupted Xue Yi's thoughts: "Princess, the princess has left beforehand, the old slave will send the princess back to the room to sleep." ”

Xue Yi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, but she didn't even find out when Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yu left!

Mama Gong picked up Xue Yi on the ground, and the two returned to Xue Yi's bedroom, and the careful Xue Yi looked at the extra brocade quilt on the bed, and looked at Mama Gong suspiciously: "Mama, this brocade quilt β€”β€”? ”

Mama Gong smiled: "The prince's injury has been much better recently, and since you have been married, you should naturally live in the same room." ”

Xue Yi seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, and raised her voice a little out of shape: "Mama, I don't want it!" ”

There is no room for others on the side of the couch! Xue Yicai doesn't want to live in the same room with that villain prince, he knows every day that she is changing the way to fix her, she has to be careful all the time during the day, and does she have to sleep in fear at night? She doesn't want it!

Mama Gong's face sank: "Could it be that the princess dislikes our prince for being ugly?" ”

Xue Yi's head shook like a rattle: "Mama, you know that I don't dislike the prince's appearance, the prince hates me so much, I'm worried that he will kill me in a dream at night." Xue Yi pursed her lips.

Gong Mama laughed when she heard this, and Gong Mama found for the first time that the princess in front of her was not only beautiful, smart, but also a little naughty and cute in the quiet, and Gong Mama smiled and promised: "My princess, I promise that the prince will not sleepwalk and kill, and the old slave will wait for you to drink bird's nest and sleep peacefully." ”

Mama Gong took out a bowl of bird's nest from behind her like a trick, Xue Yi frowned, and took the bowl in her hand: "Mama, I really can't get used to the taste of this bird's nest, do you have any way?" ”

Mama Gong thought for a while, turned around and walked out: "Princess, wait a minute. ”

Looking at Mama Gong's back, Xue Yi drank the bird's nest in the bowl in one go. When Mama Gong came back, Xue Yi had already fallen asleep with her clothes, and Mama Gong gently shook Xue Yi: "Wake up, princess wake upβ€”"

The strange thing is that no matter how Mama Gong called, Xue Yi just turned over and continued to fall asleep, Mama Gong looked at the empty bird's nest bowl, sighed softly, she took off her embroidered shoes for Xue Yi, covered the brocade quilt, and said secretly in her heart: "Princess, don't blame the old slave or the prince, we are really forced to do this." ”

Mama Gong didn't know that the bowl of bird's nest with Ning Xiangsan had been splashed on the bed by Xue Yi. Xue Yi wanted to find out why from the day she entered the palace, she would drink bird's nest after drinking, and she didn't know what ulterior secrets were hidden in this palace!

Gong Mama walked for about a cup of tea, Xue Yi opened her eyes and listened attentively, it was already late at night, and the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard quietly inside and outside the house, Xue Yi quietly got out of bed and tiptoed to the backyard.

Xue followed the light and walked carefully to Xiao Yichen's study, which was dimly lit at this time, as if someone was talking inside. The snow leaned close to the window edge, and the tip of the tongue gently touched the window edge paper, peeking through the eye-sized hole in the study.

Through the small hole, Xue Yi looked at the study, and saw the envoy of the Wind Dance Country at a glance, Xue Yi secretly guessed that the second prince Xiao Yichen and the Wind Dance Country colluded with each other, and there was something wrong with it.

Xue Yi was outside the window, listening to the conversation between Xiao Yichen and the messenger clearly, it turned out that the messenger was not someone else, it was Leng Fengyue, the prince of the Wind Dance Kingdom!

Leng Fengyue came this time to send a congratulatory gift to Xiao Yichen, and also to ask Xiao Yichen for help, listening to Leng Fengyue's meaning, it seems that the undercurrent of the Wind Dance Country is turbulent at this time, and a coup d'Γ©tat is brewing, and his uncle intends to usurp power, so he temporarily handed over the jasper sword representing the lord of the Wind Dance Country to Xiao Yichen for safekeeping.

Listening to Leng Fengyue's words, Xue Yue, the prime minister of Fengwu Kingdom, caught a woman named Guan Xin, and executed Guan Xin in the name of Guan Xin leaving the palace without permission and colluding with foreign history. In fact, Guan Xin's decision to go out of the palace to see Ji Wuyao was arranged by Leng Fengyue, but these words could not be spoken.

There was silence in the study for a moment, and Leng Fengyue spoke slowly, her voice full of sadness: "It's just that I feel bitter, she has been by my side since I was a child, and now although I am the prince of a country, I can't protect herβ€”β€”"

Before Leng Fengyue finished speaking, Xiao Yichen stopped him with his eyes, and the wheelchair under him suddenly seemed to have wings, shot out of the window, and landed behind Xue Yi!

Xue Yi only felt that her neck was cold, and the bright sword blade pressed against her neck, Xiao Yichen forcibly suppressed her anger: "Mama Gong, what's going on?" ”

Mama Gong looked at Xue Yi, secretly complained in her heart, her knees weakened, and she knelt down in the dust: "Lord, the old slave doesn't know how the princess came here, please spare the princess and punish the old slave." ”

Before Xiao Yichen could answer, Xue Yiyu pushed away the blade of the sword and helped up the palace grandmother who was kneeling on the ground: "Lord Yu, I secretly sprinkled the bird's nest in the quilt and concealed it from the palace grandmother, if you want to kill it, you have to scrape and listen to the respect, just don't be embarrassed by the people who are loyal to you." ”

Xiao Yichen's eyes stared at Xue Yi, and he said in a deep voice, "You, come in with me." ”

Mama Gong nodded at Xue Yi and signaled that Xue Yi could enter the study with confidence.

"Brother Xiao, this-I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Leng Fengyue turned her back to Xue Yi, and didn't seem to want Xue Yi to see him.

Xiao Yichen smiled faintly: "It's okay, Brother Leng in the Golden Palace has already seen her, presumably she also heard the words of you and me just now, why don't you ask her for a solution." ”

Leng Fengyue turned her head at this time, clasped her fists with both hands, and saluted lightly: "It turned out to be the rosemary concubine who surrendered the snow lion, and the little brother is polite here." ”

Xue Yi was busy and polite.

Xue Yi has indeed listened to the conversation between Xiao Yichen and Leng Fengyue just now, and she is also aggrieved by the woman named Guan Xin in her heart, she saw that Xiao Yichen asked her to think of countermeasures to save Guan Xin's life, and she couldn't help but speculate in her heart about Xiao Yichen's intentions, before entering the palace, the nurse Kou Shi told her to restrain her edge and not show her head, and now she has made a splash in the Golden Palace, everyone knows that Princess Yu is wise and courageous, she really doesn't know whether this is a blessing or a curse for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
