Chapter 216: Reminiscing about the Past
Xiao Yu originally planned to discuss with Liu Nong to ask the Queen Mother for marriage, but he didn't want Liu Nong to refuse him thousands of miles away.
Xiao Yu was puzzled, he knew that Liu Nong had a deep heart for him, not to mention the love of cutting the flesh that day, even the high righteousness that he promised with his body also made him have to be moved.
Xiao Yu saw that Liu Nong was smiling but resolute, and he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart, how could he guess Liu Nong's mind at this time?!
Liu Nong knew that Xiao Yi had a heart, and it was just an expedient measure to fly with him on the island that night, and it was a last resort to save Xue Yi, she had already made up her mind to be by Xue Yi's side in this life and this life, and live and die with her, as for Xiao Yu, Liu Nong raised her eyes, her eyes were a little misty, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't, because she knew that Xiao Yi liked Xue Yi, and she couldn't use responsibility to tie up her lover.
Xiao Yu wanted to say something more, but Liu Nong Wanfu said goodbye: "Lord, it's not too early, the slave and maid have retired." ”
Liu Nong didn't wait for Xiao Yu to say anything more, turned around and left, and the tears finally fell the moment he turned around.
Xiao Yu looked at Liu Nong's back, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while, people are not grass and trees, how could he not see Liu Nong's forced smile, he just didn't understand, once he was all devoted to Princess Lan He, but now, he was willing to let go of Princess Lan He and give Liu Nong a chance to himself, but Liu Nong refused him.
"Doesn't the prince know why Liu Nong is doing this?" Xue Yi didn't know when she stood behind Xiao Yan, her eyes drifting in the direction of Liu Nong.
Xiao Yu bent her knees and was about to kneel down to give a salute: "See Concubine Xue, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
Xue Yi hurriedly clasped his hands: "Why should the prince be polite, when he was in the palace, he was taken care of by the prince, and Xue Yi never forgot it." ”
"Yo, Your Majesty, it seems that we are not here by coincidence, did we disturb Prince Xiao and Sister Xue to talk about themselves?" Concubine Xiu walked over with Emperor Cheng's hand and shook it step by step, her willow eyebrows were single-handed, and she looked at Xue Yi with peach blossom eyes provocatively, with a posture of watching a play.
Looking at Emperor Cheng again, standing beside Concubine Xiu, his handsome face was cold and arrogant, his sword eyebrows were slightly together, and his star eyes glanced at Xue Yi holding Xiao Yan's hand, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Xiao Yu's face changed greatly, he knew Emperor Cheng too well, he was suspicious and fickle, and Xue Yi was the person on his heart, and he was not allowed to be touched by others.
Xiao Yu was about to kneel down and knock on Emperor Cheng, but he didn't want Xue Yi to not let go of his hand, but instead held his hand tightly, and walked slowly towards Emperor Cheng with a smile. Although Xiao Yu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xue Yi's gourd, he knew that if there was one person in this world who could restrain Emperor Cheng, then that person was Xue Yi.
Xue Yi led Xiao Yu to the front of Emperor Cheng and gave him a deep blessing: "Long live the concubines, long live long live, long live, long live." ”
Emperor Cheng stared at Xue Yi's slightly lowered head, today's Xue Yi was just an ordinary palace dress, her long black hair was casually tied up in a phoenix bun, the jade step was swaying and slanted in the temples, her ears were bright, her complexion was more and more fair, her long eyelashes covered her big smart eyes, Emperor Cheng put her hands in her sleeves, and was speechless for a long time, just looked at Xue Yi in a daze.
Xiao Yu only felt that his palms were full of sweat.
Concubine Xiu smiled proudly, her jade hand fell on Emperor Cheng's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Xue Fei is getting better and better, it's really touching, don't you say, Lord Xiao." ”
As soon as Concubine Xiu spoke, Emperor Cheng's body stiffened significantly, and his eyebrows became even more cold, and even Xiao Yu, who was kneeling behind Xue Yi, couldn't help but shiver.
In the face of Concubine Xiu's provocation, Xue Yi just smiled indifferently, she slowly raised her head, stared at Emperor Cheng with clear eyes, and said word by word: "This situation reminds the concubine of the time when she was in the palace in the past. ”
Although Emperor Cheng was speechless, his face softened a lot. Xue Yi's voice was a little more sad, her eyes were staring at Emperor Cheng, but she asked Xiao Yu: "Have you ever remembered Prince Xiao?" That year in the palace, it was also such a beautiful weather, that day, you and I were asked by a mysterious person in the back garden, I didn't want to be bumped into by the prince of Chongqing, and almost treated the two of us for adultery, and now it is only ........ that it is different from the past."
Xue Yi glanced at Concubine Xiu in a long voice, and her eyes were a little clear.
Xiao Yu fell to the ground, he knew that Xue Yi had invisibly resolved the disaster again.
Sure enough, Emperor Cheng grabbed Xue Yi's hands with both hands and said, "Why should Xue'er be sad, now I am not in the Yu Palace, and I am not the Lord of Yu." ”
Xue Yi stared at Emperor Cheng and suddenly said, "Really? The concubine was abrupt, and for a moment just now, the concubine felt that the emperor and the prince were the same person. ”
Concubine Xiu's hand suddenly grabbed Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Cheng smiled: "Xue'er must not have rested, okay, go back to the palace to rest quickly." ”
Xue Yi shook her head, pouted and said half-coquettishly and half-seriously: "Why didn't the emperor ask the concubine and Prince Xiao what they were doing here?" ”
Emperor Cheng patted Xue Yi's jade hand: "I can trust you two." ”
"It is precisely because the emperor is trustworthy that the concubine wants to say that just now Prince Xiao and the concubine talked about the past, only to know that Prince Xiao and the concubine had the grace to save their lives, and the concubine was grateful for the great kindness of Prince Xiao, and the concubine was lonely since childhood, so he recognized Prince Xiao as his brother-in-law, and Prince Xiao came to resign to the concubine this time." Xue Yi said lightly.
"Oh?" Emperor Cheng looked at Xiao Yu in surprise.
Although Xiao Yi couldn't guess Xue Yi's intentions, the matter had come to this point, so he had no choice but to climb the pole.
Xiao Yu saw Emperor Cheng looking at him, and hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "Back to the emperor, the mother is green-eyed, and the ministers don't dare to climb high, so how can they ........?"
Emperor Cheng didn't seem to hear what Xiao Yu said, and seemed to be asking him and seemed to be talking to himself: "Where are you going?" Why don't you talk to me? ”
"Look at what the emperor said, Prince Xiao originally wanted to talk to the emperor, but who in this palace doesn't know that Concubine Xiu's sister jade body is against harmony, and the emperor does not allow idlers to disturb him? Prince Xiao wanted to say that he wanted to return to Fengwu Kingdom, but how did he meet the emperor? Xue Yi deliberately coquettishly sour.
When Emperor Cheng heard that Xiao Wu was going back to Fengwu Kingdom, he couldn't help but be shocked, stared at Xiao Wu and asked again and again, "You want to go back to Fengwu Kingdom?" Don't you have no relatives in Fengwu? What to do when you go back? Could it be that something happened to Leng Fengyue?! ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yu to reply, Emperor Cheng shook his head again and again: "No, no, if Leng Fengyue has anything, he will definitely send someone to tell me, Xiao Yu, why do you suddenly want to go back to Fengwu?!" ”
Emperor Cheng's eyes were red, and he stared at Xiao Fu tightly.
Xiao Yu lay on the ground, crying bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: Xueyi, Xueyi, are you trying to kill me?! However, now he could only follow Xue Yi's meaning, Xiao Yu kowtowed and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, can you let the minister slowly return to this matter?" ”
"Okay, you come with me!" Emperor Cheng strode towards the imperial study.
Xiao Yu followed.
Xue Yimu sent the two away, turned around and called Concubine Xiu: "Sister is so anxious, but are you worried that Prince Xiao will find out her sister's identity when she goes to Fengwu?" ”
Concubine Xiu turned her back to Xue Yi and smiled coldly: "Sister Xue Fei is really joking, what do I have to worry about." ”
Xue Yi stepped forward, stared at Concubine Xiu with a smile, turned left and right, and said, "It's redundant to be a sister, my sister used to worry that the real Gong Zhixiu would run out." ”
"I don't understand what you're saying, I'm a little unwell, so I'll go back to the palace first." Concubine Xiu's face was a little ugly, and she left in a hurry.
Xue Yi looked at her back, a subtle smile bloomed on her lips, she not only wanted to expose the true face of Concubine Xiu, but she also wanted Emperor Cheng to tell her identity! From now on, she's not meat on the chopping board, she's going to be the one who does it!
"Why is Niangniang standing on this tuyere? Be careful if you catch a cold. Liu Nong put on a cloak for Xueyi.
Xue Yi smiled lightly, held Liu Nong's hand, and smiled a little tiredly: "In this deep palace, where is it not an outlet?" ”
"Why is the mother sad again? With the emperor here, even the strongest wind will not get in the way. Liu Nong deliberately diverted the topic and explained Xueyi.
How could Xue Yi not understand Liu Nong's intentions, looking at Liu Nong's somewhat red and swollen eyes, she was silent for a moment, Xue Yi asked lightly: "Since you care about him so much, why don't you agree to him, I can't leave this deep palace again, and you are different, you can go with Xiao Yu." ”
Liu Nong looked up at Xue Yi in surprise: "Niangniang knows everything?" ”
Xue Yi nodded and walked forward slowly: "Liu Nong, I know your thoughts, you like him, it's just that you have your pride, and you don't want to tie him up with responsibility, but Liu Nong, do you know?" He has never been a person who cares about responsibility, and if he doesn't have you in his heart, he won't come to show you goodwill, so promise him and go away with him. ”
Liu Nong hung his head and was silent.
"You don't have to worry about me, in this deep palace, I will protect myself well." Xue Yi held Liu Nong's hand.
Liu Nong raised her head, her big eyes were shining, and she held Xue Yi's hand: "Niangniang, we said that we would be together forever, we would avenge Du Ruo together, we would find out the real cause of Mama Gong's death together, and we would also find the prime minister, how could Niang Niang not talk and drive Liu Nong away?!" ”
"Liu Nong......" Xue Yi choked and hugged Liu Nong in her arms, she really needed such a girl, but she didn't want to trap her with herself.
"Niangniang, as Niangniang said, although Liu Nong is a subordinate person, he also has his own dignity and feelings, I don't want Lord Xiao to marry me because of that night's reluctance." Liu Nong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Xue Yi's heart suddenly moved, just now she forced Xiao Yu to find Princess Lan He, one wanted to use Princess Lan He to force Emperor Cheng to admit that he was Xiao Yichen, and on the other hand, she wanted Xiao Yu to be able to sort out his feelings for Liu Nong, and she didn't want Liu Nong to be caught between Xiao Yu and Princess Lan He in the future.
It's just that I don't know how Xiao Gu will talk to Emperor Cheng, and how will Emperor Cheng prevent Xiao Yu from returning to Fengwu to welcome Princess Lanhe?
