Chapter 358
Shen Yuan hooked the corners of her lips, her eyes were oozing with coldness, and she smiled at Chu Xiu and said, "Are you going to tell Chu Xu?" ”
"I don't have this plan, I will break up the marriage, the sky will thunder, and I am not my imperial brother's abnormal brain." Since returning to southern Xinjiang, Chu Xiu has never met a friend like Shen Yuanqing'er who can talk.
"If the princess wants to save the princess, I will help as much as I can." This can be regarded as a kind of atonement, if she could have known Chu Xu's purpose for Wei Yan earlier, she would definitely not have helped Chu Xu bring Wei Yan to Southern Xinjiang.
Xu is Shen Yuan has been listening carefully to what she said, Chu Xiu can be regarded as opening the conversation, and no longer has to keep all kinds of secrets like she used to be as Liu Su, now she can tell Shen Yuan about her past very calmly, "Although I am the princess of the Southern Xinjiang royal family, I have been selected to be cultivated in Southern Xinjiang since I was born, so I don't even have a name, and my existence is not recorded in the royal family tree." ”
"When I was five years old, Nanjiang released a group of fine works to infiltrate the Ming Dynasty, and I was the youngest among them, but I was the best. I found an opportunity to get close to the King of Qin, followed him, and pretended to show my talent unintentionally, and then I was taken back to the Qin Palace, where I was trained. ”
"In fact, in the past 20 years, I have been terrified, otherwise I would not have worn a human skin mask every day and did not dare to show my true face. is afraid that one day because of his appearance will be exposed, and then he will lose his life in the Ming Dynasty. In the twenty years of Qin Wangfu, she was happy, but as she grew older, the pressure also came.
She had thought about self-denial more than once, but she didn't want to die in a foreign country, she wanted to go back to southern Xinjiang again in this life, so she kept telling herself to live one more day, one more day......
In the blink of an eye for twenty years, Chu Xiu grew up in such an environment, and unknowingly stole countless pieces of information for southern Xinjiang.
Chu Xiu is loyal, but she is loyal to Southern Xinjiang, not to the Ming Dynasty.
The light outside leaked in from the hollow carved maul fan next to it, bright and warm, Chu Xiu held his chin in one hand, looking at the vibrant scene in the palace, his eyes were soft, Shen Yuan heard her mutter: "If only the Ming Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang could never fight." ”
There will be a day when it will be. Shen Yuan lowered his eyes and replied to Chu Xiu's words in his heart.
After Chu Xiu and Shen Yuan finished eating, the palace maid outside told Chu Xiu that there were several concubines waiting for them at the gate of Yuehua Palace, waiting for them to go out.
Chu Xiu and Chu Xu are also brother and sister, even if they didn't grow up together, they also have a lot in common.
For example, they don't like to waste time on things that don't make sense.
Therefore, Chu Xiu took Shen Yuan to the side door of Yuehua Palace, walked through several palace roads, and came to Xuanzhen Hall with ease.
The Xuanzhen Hall was heavily guarded by troops, but Chu Xiu could be unimpeded, she explained to the head of the guard, and let her and Shen Yuan in.
"I don't have to, I'll wait for you outside." Whether it was Xiao Nanshan or the Seventh Prince, Chu Xiu had nothing to say.
Shen Yuan pursed her lips, glanced at Chu Xiu, and then walked in alone.
Xuanzhen Hall is almost the same age as Xiao Nanshan, it was built after Xiao Nanshan was offered as the national teacher of Southern Xinjiang, and a faint sandalwood wafted out of the hall.
Shen Yuan pushed open the heavy door, the shadow was reflected on the ground, and the candlestick was not lit in the hall, and he could only rely on the daylight to see the scene inside.
I don't know what kind of stone the ground is made of, and the coolness swells up from the soles of the feet, but it doesn't give people a creepy feeling, but more like a clean breath rushing into the body, removing the dirt from the body.
There is a pool in the main hall, the pond is arranged with a lotus lamp to form a Tai Chi pattern, walk through the pool, it is a high platform made of bluestone, and a stone statue is placed on the high platform. The roof on the statue is designed to leak light, and whenever the sun shines high, sunlight will shine on the statue.
It was the second generation of Chu Yi, the king of southern Xinjiang, and it was he who refined Xiao Nanshan into a medicine man, and after his death, Xiao Nanshan lived alone in the world for more than two hundred years.
Shen Yuan knelt on the futon and bowed three times to the stone statue of Chu Yi, whether it was her or Wei Li, when they saw this stone statue, they would kneel down to worship.
And this stone statue was carved by her father.
Shen Yuan didn't know how much time Xiao Nanshan had spent carving, and he didn't know why he still remembered Chu Yi after he became a medicine man. Even after two hundred years, he will still remember and let every one of his disciples come to worship.
After Shen Yuan finished worshipping, he got up and entered the inner hall, "Master, the apprentice is back." ”
Shen Yuan thought that Xiao Nanshan was resting in the inner hall, but he didn't want the inner hall to be empty.
However, in front of the bookshelf, a mountain of stacks of books moved.
"Senior sister, save me, I'm going to suffocate to death!" The child's childish voice came muffled from under the stack of books.
Shen Yuan was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly went over to dig up the book mountain, and a fleshy little face came out, with ink on his face, like a flower cat.
"Really, senior sister, I thought I was dreaming." When Xiao Qi saw Shen Yuan, he cried whining, "Senior sister, you can be regarded as back, do you know how much homework Master assigned me before leaving......
Shen Yuan took Xiao Qi out of the pile of books, Xiao Qi, who was a year older, sank a lot, and Shen Yuan almost hugged him and fell away without standing firmly.
Shen Yuan took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Qi's face, and asked, "Master is out?" ”
Xiao Qi pouted unhappily and said, "Yes, I left suddenly a few days ago, and I didn't say where to go, when I woke up, I saw a table full of homework left by the master." ”
Shen Yuan carefully helped Xiao Qi wipe his face, but found that the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became, and he put down his hand weakly, "Then you do your homework well, and I'll come to see you when the master comes back." ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Senior sister, don't go! Help me with my homework, senior sister! Xiao Qi hugged Shen Kite's thigh tightly, not wanting to let Shen Kite leave like this, "I still have a lot to say to you!" ”
"This Xuanzhen Hall is too big, Xiao Qi is afraid to sleep alone!"
"Master has left a lot of homework, I look so scared!"
Xiao Qi was coquettish with Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan rarely showed a sincere smile, and looked at Xiao Qi's eyes with a little helplessness.
"Now that Senior Sister is in a special situation, she can't do whatever she wants in the palace, you have to be obedient, you know?" Shen Yuan squatted down and comforted Xiao Qi well.
Xiao Qi nodded, "I've always been very well-behaved, I haven't been out of the Xuanzhen Palace, it's very noisy and dangerous outside......"
"Well, don't be afraid, after a while you may have to be sent to Chang'an, you have to go alone, I and Master are not by your side, but Senior Brother will be waiting for you in Chang'an City." Chu Xu didn't let Chu Xiu enter Chang'an, so Xiao Qi became the most suitable candidate.
