Chapter 68: The Expedition

This sentence was no less than a bolt from the blue, and I immediately retorted, "I don't believe it, he won't leave me." ”

When life and death were in trouble, Li Xuan still didn't leave me, how could he leave me in the palace without saying goodbye?

I didn't care about Long Xiao, I walked a few steps forward with difficulty, I want to go to Li Xuan to ask for an understanding, why did he leave like this? I didn't even leave a word, and I was separated for a year, where did he put me?

Long Xiao was angry, grabbed my wrist, and strangled me painfully: "You have no jokes, I don't need to make up some lies to deceive you, King Xuan did lead troops to recruit in person, and he set off from the capital yesterday, and I personally served him." ”

Chen Fu also persuaded with kind words: "Princess, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is full of words." ”

Their master and servant are complicit, and this situation has become my unreasonable trouble.

I broke away from Long Xiao's hand, turned my head to look at him, my eyes were as clear as water, and I said clearly: "I don't want to stay in the palace, I want to go back to the Xuan Palace." "Li Xuan's mansion is my home, there is no place for Li Xuan, what am I doing here? Every time I enter the palace, it is an unpleasant experience, and I really don't want to stay here.

Every part of my body is resisting here, resisting Long Xiao's words, resisting Li Xuan's departure from me.

"Your hands are so cold!" Long Xiao scolded impatiently, Ying Ting's eyebrows furrowed, and he said a little angrily: "Don't even think about leaving the palace, Chen Fu, you go to King Xuan's mansion immediately, and tell me to tell the princess to stay in the palace until King Xuan returns triumphantly." Also, people in the harem are not allowed to set foot in the Hidden Moon Palace, and those who violate the order will be killed on the spot. ”

Chen Fu was expressionless, glanced at me without a trace, and said with a bow: "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

This simply put me in a helpless situation, and I said sharply: "Long Xiao, you are simply imprisoning me!" "In a hurry, even he was the emperor was left behind by me, I was not angry when I saw him, but now I am even more disgusted with him, even if he and Li Xuan regard each other as confidants, they don't have to "take care" of me like this.

Long Xiao didn't laugh angrily after hearing this: "What about imprisoning you?" I help King Xuan discipline women, who dares to put a beak? ”

His virtue made me even more angry, and I raised my voice: "I must go back anyway!" ”

"Shut up!"

Then I really shut my mouth, because Long Xiao completely ignored the respect of the Son of Heaven, suddenly leaned over and picked me up, and imprisoned me with both arms, for fear that I would struggle too much and fall down, so he took me and strode towards the palace, and I only had dry eyes.

When Li Xuan hugged me, I only felt warm and tender, greedy for the breath in his arms; But at this moment, I was hugged tightly by Long Xiao, but I was uncomfortable, his arms were firm and powerful, just like he was an emperor, his words and deeds were domineering and direct, and no one could refuse.

"Long Xiao, let me down!" Last time, I was thin underwater, and I thought that he came to the rescue, and I didn't care about him; This time, he bullied me in a grand manner, the palace is full of people, I am a minister's wife, and my identity is different from him, how can I provoke rumors when Li Xuan is out on the expedition?

"I told you to let me down, did you hear me!" Even though I shouted this sentence with all my might, my body was weak, and listening to it became a different taste in Long Xiao's ears, soft as a coquettish feeling, making him think that I was refusing out of shyness.

He didn't want to let me go in the slightest, and continued to walk towards the palace where I was "imprisoned".

Out of nowhere, two guards, one left and one right, stood outside the hall, saw Long Xiao hugging me, the two of them lowered their heads together, pretending not to see anything, Long Xiao's natural lightness is enough to make me angry, and now I am hit by someone and there is an embarrassment of seeing through the adultery, I hate Long Xiao to death.

But Long Xiao didn't care about this, until he approached the steps of the inner courtyard, he kindly let me down, and when my feet landed and stood firm, I immediately raised my hand and waved it at his face. He was obviously defenseless, and he slapped me firmly, and the "snap" was very crisp, but the force that actually fell on his face was not heavy, but it only hurt his dignity as an emperor.

I am still angry, I have time to be afraid in the future, the first madness in his eyes is a precursor to anger, I am afraid that no one has dared to hit him for so many years, and I am not afraid, even if I am given death, it is better than being repeatedly slighted by him, and my reputation is humiliated: "I am Li Xuan's wife, and I hope that the emperor will respect himself." You deliberately insulted me and bullied me before, and I endured it, but if it happens again today, I, Qin Xi, will definitely fight with you. ”

Long Xiao stood in place and looked at me coldly, with the unique arrogance and coldness of the emperor, he suddenly grabbed my shirt and mocked: "Do you think that with a bit of foxy appearance, I will be confused by you like King Xuan?" Qin Xi, you think too highly of yourself, a woman like you, only a fool like King Xuan holds you in the palm of his hand. ”

These words came out of his mouth, it was really vicious, not only did he say that I was worthless, but also belittled Li Xuan.

He pushed me away in disgust, I took two steps back, fell to the ground weakly, and bruised my palm when my palm was on the ground, he was condescending, and his expression was arrogant: "King Xuan took away the most elite army of Great Qi, and he will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, if he does not have the handle in my hands, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the talisman to him?" The guards you saw just now were not my people, but the people who King Xuan tried his best to insert into the palace, you are King Xuan's weakness, he learned that you fell into my hands at the border pass, and these people revealed your situation in the palace to him, do you guess King Xuan will be more attentive when he crusades against the southern kingdom? ”

I only knew that the relationship between the two of them was delicate, but I didn't think that it was already like this, and the companion was like a tiger, no wonder Li Xuan once said that his confidant relationship with Long Xiao had nothing to do with politics, and at this moment, it seems that the private relationship of the children is too meager in front of the Jiangshan Sheji.

Thinking that his contempt for me would be known to Li Xuan as it was, I wanted to cry without tears, and finally had to say disdainfully: "You are so despicable." ”

used me as a hostage to contain Li Xuan, and he came up with it.

Long Xiao said with a playful smile: "If you want to blame King Xuan for being a lover, King Xuan who can't even protect his own woman, no matter how he pretends to be high, he is just a loser, why should he fight with me?" ”

"As for you, it's best to stay in the Hidden Moon Hall honestly, and don't try to escape, otherwise I won't kill you before King Xuan returns to Beijing."

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Long Xiao threw down this warning sentence and left angrily.

I was still kneeling on the ground, when a palace maid approached, knelt down in front of me, and saluted in a proper manner: "Slave Yunying greets the princess." ”

She waited for a while, but didn't see my reaction, and repeated respectfully: "Slave Yunying, I would like to meet Princess Xuan, and I wish the princess well." ”

I turned my head, and what caught my eyes was a beautiful face: "Yunying, who are you?" ”

She did not shy away from it, and generously admitted: "The slave maid was transferred by Gonggong Chen to serve the princess. ”

Gonggong Chen, who has the ability to mobilize palace people, besides Chen Fu, who else? Heh, even the people who serve around me have changed, Long Xiao is really well-intentioned. The thought that my every move was under his nose made me feel angry.

"The slave and maid helped the princess up."

I coldly brushed her hand away and said indifferently, "No need. ”

I struggled to my feet and stumbled into the inner room, where the cloud shadow followed me quietly, knowing that I didn't like her, so I didn't say a word.

It was almost early winter, and I was suffering from the wind and cold, and she carefully set up a stove in the house to make the room as warm as spring, and she was already sweating, and I was still cold, so even I knew how bad my body was.

Frustrated, I simply stuffed myself in the room, barely getting off the floor, sitting on the edge of the bed all day staring at the cold light outside the window in a daze. When I am not in a daze, I will only think of Li Xuan, and I will only feel heartache when I think of him, I spent a few days trying to break my head and didn't understand why he didn't even leave a word for me and left the border.

I don't know about the affairs of the court, I only know that I am his wife, and he and I have an oath to each other, how can he leave me for a year without knowing me? With his power, even if he was forced by Long Xiao, he was not so passive that he could not arrange to see me before parting. There was only one explanation for this, and he didn't want to see me. This thought made me even more sad, and I was so sick of it that I couldn't even swallow my food.

While resenting Li Xuan, he is also worried about him, he is a person who even pays attention to going out to the lake, and the conditions are bad when he is fighting outside, who will take care of his daily life? Is the food in the army to his liking? It's freezing in the border area, will he fall ill?

Or, did he ever think of me?

Yun Ying took the decoction and put it next to my bed, as soon as I smelled the smell, I knew that it was a prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Zhang, my body urgently needed to be seriously regulated, but I didn't want to drink this bowl of medicine at all, what could be more annoying than being subject to Long Xiao?

Yun Ying saw that I had been giving up on myself for several days, and couldn't help but persuade me: "The princess should drink the medicine, even if she is not for herself, she should think more about King Xuan, if King Xuan knows that the princess treats her body like this, how distressed she should be." "She is a person who has seen Li Xuan treat me with her own eyes, and she is really sincere in saying this.

I have hardly eaten in the past few days, my throat hurts badly, I am only afraid of hoarseness at this time, although I understand that Yunying is good intentions, I still ignore her, there is only one palace maid in the Hidden Moon Palace, I think Chen Fu trusts her very much, as long as I persist, she will definitely tell that person about my situation.

His anger should have disappeared for the most part, and he will still come, after all, if my hostage makes the slightest mistake, he will not be able to explain to King Xuan, who is leading the army to fight bloodily outside, I hope my temptation this time will be useful.

Yun Ying didn't know what I was thinking: "Since the princess doesn't want to drink medicine, then Yun Ying will cook some gruel." ”

Sure enough, she had only been out for a short time, Long Xiao drove the Hidden Moon Palace, when he came in, I was tired of leaning on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, the brocade quilt was only covered to the waist, his face was pale, and his expression was very haggard, somehow, a wave of anger rose in his chest, even he didn't know, why he still came knowing that I was deliberately provoking him.
