Chapter 266: Venture back to Chang'an
Nan Qiao had never heard of any emperor before, presumably this emperor must be the heir of Yuelan Kingdom and the future empress.
"Oh? The Imperial Maiden appeared. Even Cen Xi, who was sitting in a precarious position, couldn't help but be a little curious, "I really don't know what kind of demeanor this emperor is, do you want to see it?" ”
originally thought that he was talking to Han Shaofeng, and she would be a wooden man next to her, but who knows, Cen Xi asked her in the next sentence.
Who is the Yuelan Emperor and what does she do, Nan Qiao has never been interested in other people's affairs, and she has been silent at most these days.
Han Shaofeng cast a complicated gaze at her, Nan Qiao noticed it, but ignored it directly.
Then Han Shaofeng withdrew his gaze and asked Cen Xi, "It's the end of the year soon, where are you going to go for the New Year this year?" ”
Cen Xi was carving a slender leg bone to make a flute with a knife in his hand, because the bone flute and the soul bell last time were all in Ji Wuyu's place, so this time Cen Xi was going to make a bone flute with his own hands and give it to Nan Qiao, he replied while carving it with the knife carefully,
"You can go anywhere, it mainly depends on what Jojo means!"
Hearing this, Han Shaofeng smiled, "It's better to go to Daxuan, the meaning of the lord is to let the princess recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and she can't just keep wandering." ”
"Wandering?" Cen Xi caught this word, his hand movements stopped, his eyebrows raised, and he was obviously a little displeased.
"How can Jojo wander by my side, what's wrong with me taking care of her." In the past month, Cen Xi has obviously become a little different again, and she is particularly meticulous about her.
Nan Qiao was not interested in the words of these two people, patted the slight dust on his sleeve, and slowly got up,
"I'm tired, if it's okay, I'll go first!"
Cen Xi didn't keep her, as long as he could see her for a while every day, and he didn't force anything else, before parting, he instructed,
"It's snowing outside, be careful not to slip!"
Nan Qiao ignored his concern and went out of the threshold.
Inside the house, Han Shaofeng shook his head helplessly, "She has always been like this to you?" ”
Cen Xi continued to make the flute in his hand, and smiled slightly, "What's the matter, as long as she's by my side." ”
"Then her child..."Except for Mu Baizhuo, the rest of the people thought that Nan Qiao was still pregnant, she didn't say it, no one knew.
Cen Xi didn't raise his head, "Qiaoqiao's child is my child, and it has nothing to do with others!" ”
This year's snow fell earlier than last year, thinking back to last year, when she was still in Wuyi Town, that Chinese New Year's Eve, he took her to the inn...
Unconsciously, she walked to the official road of Qingzhen, looking at the white expanse in the distance, she knew that it was the direction of Chang'an City, two days ago, Cen Xi had asked her if she wanted to go to defend the country, it seems that Cen Xi has plans to go to defend the country, and she doesn't know when Cen Xi will leave.
Because of the snow, she has not been able to go to Daxuan to verify it, and for some reason, she has the slightest fear of not daring to face the truth, and she doesn't dare to go to Daxuan to prove all this.
Because once proven, it's really...
I don't know how long she stood in the snow, Nan Qiao saw a few more small black dots coming out of the white expanse in the distance, and those small black dots were getting closer and closer, and they seemed to be coming towards her.
When I looked closer, I realized that it was a group of passing merchants, who were braving the wind and snow to rush to the next place.
"Have you heard that King Pingding and the emperor have a conflict again, it seems that it is for a palace maid named Ah Sheng." Someone in the caravan said during the boring journey.
"Can't it, a palace maid can make the emperor turn against the king of Pingding?" Some questioned it.
"Who knows? The last time I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver New Year's goods, I heard the Prime Minister say that this palace maid is not an ordinary palace maid, and the king of Pingding personally led people to break into the palace to take people, the emperor just stopped him, and now the court is in a mess, and they have played the emperor to execute the palace maid for the peace of the harem. ”
"Ah, so serious?"
"But no, don't look at this little palace maid, maybe one day she will climb onto the dragon bed and become the one who will bring disaster to the country and the people, otherwise, what is the king of Pingding doing so much, it is not for the good of the emperor!"
"That's right, since ancient times, the emperor has favored a woman too much, and even did not hesitate to turn his face with the entire court for this woman, this woman must not be a good stubble, for the sake of Daye, I support the king of Pingding, it is better to get rid of those disasters earlier, so as not to bring disaster to the country and the people in the end!"
The caravan passed by Nan Qiao, and the sound gradually faded away, so that the back was drowned in the wind and snow.
Ji Wuyu, why?
I've cleared up everything with you, are you so embarrassed that my brother wants to force me to be your enemy?
Back at the residence, Nan Qiao secretly inquired about the current situation in Chang'an, and the news he got was similar to the meaning of those caravans, and they all knew that there was a palace maid in the palace who bewitched the king, and now the king of Pingding was stiff with Yuwenmo.
Two days later, news came from Chang'an, saying that the emperor was going to make the palace maid A Sheng a concubine a year ago.
As soon as this news came out, Nan Qiao suddenly couldn't sit still.
On the same day, she put on a thick cloak and prepared to go to Chang'an, but was stopped by Cen Xi before she left the house.
"Jojo, where are you going?"
Nan Qiao said coldly, "I'll come back, didn't you promise me that as long as I stay by your side, I can do anything?" ”
He did say that.
"Are you going to Chang'an?" Cen Xi knew the purpose of her visit, but she still had to ask again.
"Yes!" She said bluntly.
Cen Xi frowned, "He did it on purpose, you will be fooled by him if you go!" ”
"Whether I am fooled or not, I will go for my brother." She stared at him instentistically.
"What can you change if you go? Now that Chang'an is heavily guarded, most of the spies I planted before were found and executed by Ji Wuyu, and he is now vigilant, if you go, it will fall into his hands. Cen Xi's fist clenched in his sleeve.
"This time, it won't!" Her tone was resolute, "Even if I didn't promise you, I wouldn't be entangled with him anymore!" ”
Cen Xi took a deep breath, and finally said ruthlessly, "You must come back before dark, otherwise I will enter Chang'an!" He reached out and lifted her chin and threatened, "I'll kill your brother by the way, so you won't have to worry anymore!" ”
"You dare!" She gritted her teeth, slapped his hand away, and was about to turn around and go out, when her wrist was grabbed by Cen Xi, "You just went single-handedly?" ”
Before Nan Qiao could speak, he said again, "The flute has been prepared for you, take it with you on the road, just in case." ”
At this time, in the Pingding Palace, Mu Baizhuo went alone, and when he saw Ji Wuyu in the front hall, his eyes were a little more helpless.
"I will give you the entire military power of the Dongjun Palace, including everything I have, and I can exchange it for those three ghost face Bodhi for you!"
The lips under the mask were slightly hooked, and he didn't know what he meant, "Those three ghost-faced Bodhi are even more important than everything in the Dongjun King?" ”
"How are you willing to change?" Now he can only take Nan Qiao out of here if he gathers one hundred and eight Ghost Face Bodhi, so everything here doesn't matter.
Ji Wuyu leaned forward slightly, his eyes were all cold, "Tell me, what secrets do you have with her?" ”
Mu Baizhuo already knew one thing before he came, Ji Wuyu was looking for a doctor in private these days, and he must have a place to find him, so he didn't answer Ji Wuyu's question, but said,
"In addition to my military power and money, as well as my medical skills, not to mention that those three ghost-faced Bodhi are also useless in the hands of King Pingding."
"Oh?" Ji Wuyu's tail voice rose, "But this king only wants to know the secret between you and Nan Qiao, as for the rest, this king is not interested, it is indeed useless for this king, but it is useful for you!" ”
Mu Baizhuo's brows furrowed, he had retreated to this point, did he still refuse to give him the ghost face Bodhi, Mu Baizhuo fell into deep thought, Ji Wuyu asked him this question more than once, and the more he didn't answer, the more Ji Wuyu grabbed this question.
"I'll think again!"
This time, Mu Baizhuo came and left the Pingding Palace, he has already come for the fifth time, next time, do you really want to tell his secret with Nan Qiao, but that...
At the city gate, a carriage drove slowly, and from afar, a flute was heard, which was pleasant to the ear.
Just as everyone was fascinated by the music, the next moment the sound of the flute began to slowly transition to another song, and all the soldiers who heard the song fell asleep, and the city gates opened as if they were in a no-man's land.
In the carriage, Nan Qiao put the small and easy to carry bone flute into the wide sleeve and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
This time, the direction of her carriage was Dongjun Wangfu.
Almost at the same time, Mu Baizhuo's carriage and Nan Qiao's carriage met at the gate of the Dongjun Palace.
The two got out of the carriage one after another, and when Mu Baizhuo saw the girl in white, all the unhappiness disappeared without a trace, and there was a trace of joy in the original eyes, which was then replaced by worry.
He was struggling with whether to tell Nan Qiao about Ji Wuyu's possession of the Ghost Face Bodhi.
Then he began to worry again, Nan Qiao's appearance here for such a reason, would it have alarmed Ji Wuyu, and then...
He hurriedly went up, grabbed her hand and pulled it into the palace without saying a word, "You just came to Chang'an so casually, you will be discovered by the spies, why don't you send me a letter if you have something, I can go to you!" Now Ji Wuyu is a madman, and the streets are full of his people, don't you know..."
Along the way, Mu Baizhuo chattered endlessly, until he pulled her into his room, Nan Qiao's ears were clear for a moment, but he didn't expect that Nan Qiao's words made Mu Baizhuo's heart feel uneasy again.
"Xiaobai, I think it won't be long before he knows that I'm in the city!"
The matter at the city gate couldn't be hidden for long, she came in in in a bright and bright way, in order to let him find her in person, and some things had to be decided early.
Sure enough, as soon as Nan Qiao sat down, there was an eager voice from outside,
"Lord Wang! The king of Pingding suddenly led people to surround our palace for some reason, how can this be good? ”
