Chapter 40: The Mystery Is Unsolvable
After listening to Chu Lan's words, I still struggled to get up, insisting on going to see Xiao Ye's injury first, that girl was similar to me, she was afraid of pain and pain, and she couldn't stand the beating.
The board of Xuanwangfu is thick and hard, designed to torture people, it is late autumn at this time, and the blurred flesh and blood stick to the trouser tube, damp and cold, extremely uncomfortable. I still remember the scene of Ah Shi next to the board at the beginning, Li Xuan sat in the pavilion and drank tea as if he was nothing, as if everything had nothing to do with him. His cold gaze slid over me, his eyes faint but sharp like hard thorns, forcing others to retreat.
With power in his hand, he has long been accustomed to manipulating the life and death of others, and Ashi Xiaoye's life is no different from an ant in his eyes, even if I am Princess Xuan, I just rely on his power and status to survive.
But even if it's so difficult, I can't let Xiao Ye and them be bullied, they are all people who treat me sincerely, if I don't protect them, I will look down on myself.
Xiao Ye'an lay quietly on the bed and fell asleep, I sat down on the edge of her bed, there was not much blood on her face, she should have just fallen asleep for a while. I felt that my eyes were a little moist, this girl treated me so well, and I always caused her to suffer.
Chu Lan saw my expression and whispered in my ear: "The slave maid just dressed the medicine for Xiao Ye, although the wound is serious, but the medicine that Steward Li asked her to bring is excellent, and it is estimated that she will be able to go to the ground in ten days." ”
"It's always because of me that she ended up like this, how can I not feel sorry?" I replied coyly, Chu Lan is different from me, the Li Xuan in her heart is as perfect as a god, no matter what Li Xuan does, she will not complain.
Chu Lan had no choice but to stand silently beside me and didn't say anything more.
Thinking of Li Xuan, my heart ached faintly, during the time when I was sick and unconscious, he never came to the ink garden once, let me destroy myself, he had a gentle and delicate taste for me like a sweet dream, after waking up from the dream, nothing seemed to happen between us, I was still me, alone. I don't know how to feel.
It was he who provoked me for no reason, and after causing ripples in my heart, he withdrew, and I could only be gloomy.
Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, I have never been so low at such a moment, I can't keep up the slightest energy all day long.
I let the maid put a chair in the courtyard, I only obediently stayed in the ink garden to bask in the sun, occasionally blowing the autumn breeze to read a few books, I didn't go anywhere, I ate very little every day, I didn't know the taste of food, and a disease was always procrastinating. Aunt Yun was in a hurry, and she tried to make me something to eat, but I couldn't raise my appetite, she couldn't do anything about me, so she sighed vigorously.
When I had nothing to do, I began to ponder the book Li Xuan gave me earlier, at first I just turned a few pages, but I was fascinated by it when I looked at it, and I couldn't leave my hand again. What I said in the book seemed to me to be easy to understand, and I even felt familiar, and I didn't realize that it was engraved in my mind and unforgettable.
Standing alone in the dark courtyard in the middle of the night, with a cold moon above my head, I concentrated on controlling the air flow in my body, and gradually felt my body lighter.
I flipped on my tiptoes, flew up, rose into the air, and then lifted my breath and swept towards the big tree not far away, perhaps because of the foundation of light work, when I landed on the sloping branch, I was no longer as nervous as last time, but much calmer.
My petite body is hidden in the dense leaves, standing on a high place, the small half of the palace clearly falls in my eyes, even in the quiet of the night, it is still a luxury with bright lights, and my ink garden seems to be two worlds, like Li Xuan and me.
My heart was suddenly filled with a sourness, and I couldn't make room to settle the emotions on the side.
After repeated practice, in just a few days, I have been able to make good use of the true qi in my body, although I can't fly off the wall yet, but I will never fall into the situation of running away in a hurry when fighting Bai Yi.
But the more proficient the light skills, the more uneasy I am in my heart, if I practice diligently, my light skills will not lose to a master like Bai Yi, he is one of Li Xuan's ten thousand, I can still match him, looking at the entire capital, which minister in the court will teach his daughter like this? If my family was a big family in the capital before the decline, where would I have the peerless light skills? How would Li Xuan know? These mysteries snowballed and snowballed, and I couldn't be happy, and my whole body was emaciated.
Unconsciously tired of seeing the lanterns of the palace, I sat on the roof of my house, looking up at the cold moon above my head, the night breeze was cool, I approved a thicker coat, and in a few days it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festival missed relatives, but I didn't know who to miss.
I gathered my coat and stood up, ready to go down, if I went back too late to meet Chu Lan, she should be scared by me, I stood firm, I saw a black shadow in the distance, and looked at it, a figure in black was strange and fast, and went in the direction of Mo Zhuju. Dare to explore the Xuan Palace, this person is bold enough.
I wanted to go, but I was curious, and when he went farther, I flew up and followed, and the two figures shuttled through the night sky, but there were a few different kinds of stimulation, and the sound of the wind slipped past my ears, and my cheeks hurt a little.
I think I'm confused, I don't want to put a soft and comfortable bed in the middle of the night, and follow an unknown person to break in, if Li Xuan knows, I don't know what kind of anger I will become.
The man's speed is not much faster than mine, I followed him steadily, lest he find out, dare not get too close to him, I can't help but be a little proud in my heart, although there is nearly half a month of practice, I still have no bottom of my light skills, now it is a mule or a horse can always pull out and slip, straight up with some confidence.
I guessed right, that person went to Li Xuan's Mozhuju, I landed in the open space more than ten zhang away from Mozhuju, the scene under the sword that almost killed Bai Yi last time is still in front of me, this time I won't break in so impulsively.
I looked left and right, but there was no trace of the man in black, and I muttered to myself, I saw him coming here, why did he disappear after a while? Could it be that he has already entered the bamboo forest? Thinking about it, the sound of the wind passing through the forest sounded a little eerie, and I regretted it a little.
"You're the first one who can follow me for so long without me noticing."
The man in black leaped down from the trunk of a tree not far away, landing easily, and he approached me step by step, and I was a little scared, and I unconsciously took a few steps back.
Judging by the voice, the man in black is a young man, his voice is full of a unique coldness, and his tone is unusual arrogance, his identity must be either rich or expensive, what is not good for such a person with a background, he has to come to the Xuan Wangfu to find trouble.
