Section 210 Chapter 210 The Secret That Can't Be Said

Regarding Lu Xiang'er coming to live in the palace, Chaoxia did not take the initiative to say anything. But she dragged Lu Xiang'er for a few days and said that she didn't sleep until the third watch, and you can see how happy Chaoxia's heart is. Hearing Yahuan say that the lights in Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er's house were finally extinguished, Mrs. Li sighed and prepared to rest.

The blood-related relationship made Second Mrs. Li feel that Chaoxia was close to her, but Chaoxia had some things to tell Lu Xiang'er and wouldn't tell her, but she was very sad. Now that the daughter she has just found has not been pampered enough, she is about to get married. Second Mrs. Li really can't wait to find out the person who kidnapped her daughter in the first place, and let him know that the people of the Zhongyong Palace's mansion are not just brave on the battlefield.

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you, gritting your teeth?" Li Luo walked in from the outside with a cold body, and saw Second Lady Li sitting in the hall with an angry face.

When Second Mrs. Li saw Li Luo, she was very surprised, and hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Luo, you came back so soon, doesn't it mean that the genius arrived?" ”

With the help of Second Mrs. Li, Li Luo took off his cloak outside and said with a smile: "Don't you want to come back early and watch Yu'er get married." I changed a horse at the post station, and I rushed back without stopping, and I really rushed back. How about the language, I'm still used to it in the house. ”

"I'm almost used to it, but I'm about to get married again." Second Mrs. Li nodded, feeling a little sad again. Li Luo hurriedly helped Second Mrs. Li sit down and comforted: "Although Yu'er is married, we won't go back to the frontier." When you want to talk as a child, you can't go to the prince's mansion to see her, or invite her to the palace. ”

"Now, I can only comfort myself like this." Second Mrs. Li was very helpless, but when she thought of something, she changed her tone and asked, "Brother Luo, is there any news this time?" ”

"Well, finally there's some news. I'll go talk to my dad early tomorrow morning. Li Luo took the tea handed over by Yahuan and drank half a cup in one go. Second Madam Li immediately glanced at him, got up and said, "Don't wait until tomorrow morning." You don't know if you're not at home these days, but Dad is in a hurry. No, I invited Xiang'er to the house to accompany Yu'er, and I can let my father take a look at it every day. ”

"Xiang'er has come to the mansion?" Li Luo's movements paused slightly, then put down the teacup and said, "It seems that Dad is in a hurry, let's go." ”

When Li Luo and Second Mrs. Li left the courtyard, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia still didn't fall asleep. Maybe they were too excited to chat, or maybe the two hadn't been lying together and chatting for too long, Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er lay quietly for a long time, and they didn't feel sleepy.

Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er glanced at each other, smiled at the same time, and Chaoxia said softly: "Xiang'er, since you can't sleep, let's talk for a while." ”

"Sister Chaoxia, we've been talking since the day I came to the palace, is there anything else I haven't talked about?" Lu Xiang'er looked at the bright moonlight printed on the window outside the window, and suddenly had the idea of going out for a walk. However, this is not the Lu family but the Zhongyong Palace, and Lu Xiang'er is just thinking about it in her heart.

But Chaoxia saw the intention in Lu Xiang'er's eyes, so she sat up and lifted the quilt: "Xiang'er, I'll take you to a good place." There are usually no people there, and it is a garden built by my grandfather to commemorate my grandmother. However, my grandfather gave me permission to sit often. ”

"Ah, isn't it appropriate for me to go?" Lu Xianger didn't expect Li Xingzhou to be such an infatuated person, and she was really a little surprised. But since it's a place where people miss their deceased wives, it seems that she, an outsider, shouldn't go in and out casually.

Chaoxia pulled up Lu Xiang'er and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "You and I are like sisters, what is there to worry about." Besides, there are no secrets in that garden, just some flowers and plants, and the arrangement is chic, which is better than quiet. Besides, I think my grandfather seems to like you very much. ”

"What do you mean by 'seems to like me too'" Lu Xiang'er was a little embarrassed, but she didn't insist, but got dressed and followed Chaoxia out of the door.

Because Chaoxia didn't want to follow Yahuan behind, it would affect her to talk to Lu Xiang'er. The two of them slowed down, did not alarm anyone, and secretly went out of the courtyard. Lu Xiang'er followed Chaoxia to turn left and right, and soon came to the gate of a courtyard under the moonlight. Looking at the door, Lu Xiang'er could vaguely see the layout of the yard, but she had a strange feeling in her heart, and she wanted to go in and take a closer look.

Chaoxia was about to say that she first saw if Li Xingzhou was there, but it could be seen that Lu Xiang'er took the initiative to go inside, so she gave up talking. In Chaoxia's impression, it was rare to see Lu Xiang'er's appearance at this time, and she didn't want to stop her. Anyway, it's okay to meet Li Xingzhou, a prince will never be angry with juniors.

But when she entered the courtyard, Chaoxia suddenly glanced at the pavilion in the distance, and immediately grabbed Lu Xiang'er, and said in a low voice: "Xiang'er, grandfather is here." Looking at my grandfather's appearance, I'm afraid I'm missing my grandmother again. Let's go back. ”

"Oh, okay, let's go back." As soon as Lu Xiang'er entered the courtyard, she had the feeling of entering a dream. In Lu Xiang'er's mind, when she fled from Jiangnan to Qinghe Village, she once dreamed of this courtyard. However, compared to the courtyard in the dream, this courtyard is a little smaller, but the furnishings are exactly the same.

Listening to the voice of Chaoxia, Lu Xiang'er didn't look at where the pavilion was, and automatically turned to the forest on the right. In that pavilion, Lu Xiang'er seemed to see a young couple again, playing with a young girl. The girl had a small sword hanging from her neck, swinging with the girl's movements.

"Why is my father and mother here, we have to hide." Chaoxia was really afraid of Li Erfu's nagging, grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand, and hid behind the stone mountain in the courtyard. And Li Luo and Second Mrs. Li also entered the courtyard at this time, and the couple saw the back of Li Xingzhou in the pavilion, sighed softly to each other and walked over.

Chaoxia waited for the two to go away, so she wanted to pull Lu Xiang'er back, but when she turned her head, she found two lines of tears on Lu Xiang'er's face. Chaoxia's face changed, and she said hurriedly: "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you, but I just pinched you?" ”

"No, I remembered the days when I was a child with my mother and father." Lu Xiang'er was a little distracted and a little confused, but she didn't know how to talk to Chaoxia. Lu Xiang'er just said it, and Chaoxia was even more strange how Lu Xiang'er suddenly remembered her parents who had passed away for many years.

When Chaoxia just wanted to ask again, Li Xingzhou's loud voice suddenly came from the pavilion: "What is possible, if I am sure." If she was really Sanniang, why didn't she go home for so many years, why did she go to King Chen's 'Hongmen Banquet', and why didn't she tell her identity when she was executed......"

"Xiang'er?!" Chaoxia had never seen Li Xingzhou lose her temper so much, but Lu Xiang'er suddenly grabbed her hand in turn, and it turned out to be cold and used a lot of force, Chaoxia was at a loss.

Lu Xiang'er just stared at the stones on the ground, and didn't know whether she wanted to share her doubts with others, or wanted to get Chaoxia's answer, so she said softly: "My mother's real name is 'Feng Sanniang'." ”

"Feng Sanniang, 'Sanniang'?!" Chaoxia's eyes widened, looked at Lu Xiang'er, and couldn't help but stick out her head to look at the pavilion.

In the pavilion, Li Luo and Second Mrs. Li seemed to be comforting Li Xingzhou in a low voice. Chaoxia's ears are more spiritual than Lu Xiang'er, and she vaguely heard that Li Luo seemed to be saying: Sanniang may have lost her memory, otherwise with Song Yuan's knowledge, it is impossible not to feel that Sanniang is not an ordinary person in three years. But Second Mrs. Li said that Song Yuan ruined all the affairs of the Lu family for the safety of Lu Xiang'er back then, and she could only inquire about these.

“…… Dad, sister-in-law is my mother's personal disciple, and I have been by my mother's side since I was a child, how could I mistake 'Linglong'. 'Linglong' is not an ordinary sword, if it is lost from Sanniang's hands and falls into the hands of others, it is impossible for us not to find it. Seeing that Li Xingzhou seemed to be much calmer, Second Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, Song Guogong has already drawn a portrait of Sanniang, how could it be wrong." ”

"You don't understand." Li Xingzhou waved his hand, and his tone was very low: "My biggest wish at this time is to prove that Xiang'er is not Sanniang's daughter." Only then will I be able to recognize her back. Otherwise...... By the time we want to recognize Xiang'er, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"Dad, why don't we recognize Xiang'er in private and not let outsiders know?" Li Luo seemed to know what Li Xingzhou meant, and his face was also sad. Li Erfu's expression was similar to that of Li Luo, and he said what Mrs. Li said before leaving.

Li Xingzhou shook his head and sighed: "You know that it is impossible, and you still say that it does nothing. Your Majesty is not allowed to let us recognize the language. If he knew Xiang'er's identity, he would probably attack Xiang'er, and His Majesty would never allow the Zhongyong Mansion and the General's Mansion to be linked. We insist on recognizing Xiang'er, and I'm afraid that the language and the palace will ...... Alas. ”

"Dad, that's Sanniang's only bloodline."

"Don't say it. From now on, never talk about it again. Xiang'er didn't know that it was better, which saved her more sadness. Qingsong was there, and Luo'er told him again. Tell him that if Xiang'er suffers a little grievance in the general, don't blame me for ignoring Huo Jing's face. ”

"I see, Dad." Li Luo listened to Li Xingzhou's firm tone, and knew that he had already decided, and he would not change anything.

The voices of the three people in the pavilion were sometimes loud and sometimes small, Lu Xiang'er couldn't hear them all, but she guessed about the same. The doubts hidden in my heart before were all solved at this time. No wonder Mrs. Li would go to see her when she was leaving, and Li Feng and Li Luo looked at her very strangely. No wonder Huo Qingsong asked her to check, but there has been no news. It turned out that they all knew, but they were just hiding it from themselves, and Lu Xiang'er didn't know where a sadness came from, and her tears were like beads with broken threads.

Chaoxia also understood everything, and looked at Lu Xiang'er's tears, and her heart was also very distressed. She wanted to comfort Lu Xiang'er for a few words, but found that she didn't know what to say. Just as Chaoxia wanted to turn around and go out to tell her grandfather, father and mother, they all heard it, but found Li Xingzhou standing on the stone road looking here. And Li Luo and Second Lady Li stood behind Li Xingzhou, looking at Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia. The eyes of the three of them were filled with unspeakable grief.
