Chapter 33: Nightmares
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the window lattice, Li Xiao's small building was no longer there.
Li Xiao asked people to set up a straw in the garden downstairs for her to practice every morning.
And here she is!
The cold arrow broke the silence of the morning with a "whoosh" and then landed on the straw handle a foot away. Unbiased in the middle of the heart.
"County Lord!" Yunxia on the side couldn't hide her excitement and shouted, the voice completely forgot the demeanor and calmness that she should have on weekdays: "Finally shot the red heart!" "When I speak, I feel joy like a rain after a long drought.
The reason why she is like this is not because of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao got up and practiced his sword when the sky was just dawning, and this practice took more than an hour. Drawing the bow again and again, with a cold swish, the palms of the hands were red.
Yunxia felt sorry for her and persuaded her to go back to rest, but she was blocked by her on the grounds that she would not stop without shooting her heart.
"County Lord!" Yunxia didn't wait for Li Xiao to speak, she had already stepped forward and took the bow and arrow in her hand.
This bow is specially made for Li Xiao, the bow light sword is small, I am afraid that it is less than two stones, and as for the lethality, there is no more.
Li Xiao looked at the bow and arrow that was put away by Yunxia, didn't feel a slight frown, and asked, "You said, did this bow kill someone?" ”
"Huh? Homicide? Yunxia looked stunned, obviously startled by her sudden questioning.
Li Xiaowan smiled: "Hehe, joke! ”
It's just that this is not the case in her heart.
I got up very early today, not only because of the birthday of the emperor's grandfather, but also because of the cause of the dream last night.
The past, which I don't know if it was a dream or a memory, churned in her mind again.
Wei Lingjue, who forced her to drink the poisoned tea, pinched her neck with gloomy eyes. The ears were full of words, and the emperor hanged himself in the imperial study; General Han's soldiers and horses had already entered the city; The palace has been taken.
In addition, she also faintly heard crying, some adults, some children, some strangers, and more familiar. Father's, mother's, Li Jue's, Li Lu's...
In an instant, Li Xiao was awakened. This nightmare ignited the hatred in her heart again.
"County Lord!" Not far away, Fang Er hurriedly trotted over and said, "The crown princess, please come over and have breakfast together!" ”
"Good!" Li Xiao nodded in response, she knew that her mother must have something to tell her, and as for the reason, it could only be for the emperor's grandfather's birthday banquet.
Back upstairs, Duo'er had already prepared the water for bathing. In the hot golden silk nanmu pot, the pink peach blossoms are swaying on the water, the fragrance is scattered, the dark fragrance is leisurely, like a leaf flat boat, proud and isolated.
After bathing and dressing up, Li Xiao has a new look, new decoration, new skirt, new road.
She stroked the new hairpin between her forehead, and her gaze became meaningful.
In the previous life, the holy decree that she and Wei Ling were given marriage was announced at the birthday banquet of the imperial grandfather. As expected, this life will still be like this, but I don't know the end of this life, whether she will win or he will win.
At this moment, Li Xiao is like experiencing a gamble that hinders life and death, and life and death are between winning and losing.
"Let's go, don't keep your mother waiting!" Li Xiao stood up and walked outside.
