Wanxiang took a deep breath and put down the sword in her hand: "The Lan clan asked the princess to send a message to me before, telling me to 'calm down and not be impatient'. The matter has come to this point, and the dead horse has the right to be a live horse doctor.

The prince calmly entered the palace, and the rest of the things were denied and only shouted wronged...... The Lan clan is dead, and the Yuan clan and the Empress Dowager have empty white teeth.

The reason why the emperor asked the prince to ask questions instead of taking people directly was probably because he wanted to lead the people of the world to be convinced. will not rashly execute the prince. ”

Outside the door, the slave ran to Liang Cuo's side and said a few words, and Liang Cuo hurriedly opened the curtain and said: "Lord, the forbidden army has surrounded the palace." ”

Xiao Huaijin stood up and looked at Wanxiang silently, with reluctance and forbearance in his eyes. Wanxiang pulled out her sword and inserted it back into the scabbard, and walked to Xiao Huaijin's side step by step.

Knowing that the time had come, she stretched out her little hand and hung the sword on his jade belt. Turning around, he took off his white fox fur and draped it over him, buttoned it up, and straightened his collar.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the person tightly in his arms, closed his eyes and sighed, at this moment he didn't want to be separated from this person: "Now, you really can't go." ”

Wanxiang stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Xiao Huaijin: "I never thought of leaving." Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the house. ”

"What if I can't come back?"

"Then I will kill myself and accompany the prince to Huangquan."

"You're so stupid."

"The prince must remember: deny it outright, don't admit anything. That way we still have a 50% chance of winning, and you have half a chance to come back. ”

"Okay."

After speaking, Xiao Huaijin let go of Wanxiang and turned to leave, just walked out two steps, and Wanxiang behind him stopped him again: "Lord Wang!" ”

Xiao Huaijin stood in place, not daring to look back at her.

"After the prince returns home, will you marry me?"

He left a message: "It's all up to you." ”

The back resolutely left, for fear that if he took a slow step, he would not want to step out of this courtyard again. The downcast wind and snow touched his pupils, and he got into the carriage to the palace with his worries.

The incense in the house has never been apprehensive, looking at the black and white children on the chessboard. At this time, he can still play chess with himself in a clear and organized manner.

When it comes to death, Xiao Huaijin has always just laughed it off.

Wanxiang sat on the cushion where he usually sits, waiting for one stick of incense to burn out, listening to the north wind howling outside and watching the candle flame flicker.

There was no one in the palace to deliver the message for a long time, and Wanxiang sat in front of the desk and rubbed the chess pieces in her hands. Liang Cuo stood at the door and kept in mind Xiao Huaijin's entrustment, guarding the incense every step of the way.

Looking at Qi'er sleeping on the side, Wanxiang picked up her cloak and covered her, pushed open the door and walked out alone.

Liang Cuo heard the voice and turned around and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"It's so stuffy in the house, I want to walk."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Wanxiang stood under the pear tree in the backyard, and she asked Liang Cuo: "What does the prince like to eat?" ”

"Huh?"

She chuckled: "I've been by the prince's side for ten years, and I still don't know what the prince likes to eat." ”

"Our prince is different from other princes, when he was in the territory, he even ate the bark of trees. If you do it, no matter what it is, the prince will like it. ”

Speaking of this, the snow suddenly stopped, and Juanxiang was sensitive like a rabbit that had fallen into a trap, and the slightest wind and grass made her want to shrink into a ball, and even when the snow stopped, she felt scared.

She asked Liang Cuo with a red nose and red eyes: "The prince will definitely come back, right?" ”

"Yes. If you can't come back, let's go with the prince. ”

Incense stepped on the table, and the branches climbed up to the roof.

At the beginning of the year, Wanxiang was here looking at Xiao Huaijin's wedding room in the South Courtyard, and now she is sitting on the cold tiles looking at the gate of the Pingnan Palace, waiting for the carriage coming from the direction of the palace.

Waiting for Xiao Huaijin to come back.

The sky is about to dawn, and there is no news after going for so long.

Liang Cuo stood below: "Wanxiang, it's windy above, come down quickly." ”

Wanxiang looked at the moon that was about to fade away, and was silent. Even the moon is going home, isn't Xiao Huaijin coming back?

Finally, it was dawn, and the inside and outside of the palace were covered in snow, and the pure color was dizzy. The red sun that is about to erupt is called Juanxiang, and the tip of the nose can't help but be sour.

Could it be that he guessed the meaning of the Lan family wrongly, and the prince really can't come back? The forbidden army at the gate was as motionless as a mountain, and a few people hurried over from the direction of the palace not far away.

Are you here to deliver a message? Could it be that the prince has already ......

Just as Wanxiang's tears were about to fall, Wanxiang saw a galloping carriage parked in Pingnan Wangfu. Looking at the roof of the car, it is Xiao Huaijin's car.

She jumped from the roof in a hurry, and ran desperately towards the door. Xiao Huaijin is back, and her prince is back.

Just as he was about to run to the door, Juanxiang suddenly slowed down, what if it wasn't a living person who came back?

"Liang Cuo, go and see, is the prince back?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a pair of dark gold-patterned boots stepped in at the door. Looking up with the boots, it is the familiar white fox fur, a familiar person.

Wanxiang rushed over and crashed into Xiao Huaijin's arms: "Are you back......?"

Xiao Huaijin hugged the incense and patted her back, the person in her arms was cold, as if the cold wind had been blowing for a long time. Raising Akika's chin to look at her red eyes: "Scared like this?" ”

"The emperor let you come back?"

"The palace is heavily guarded, and the emperor won't let me come back, can I escape by myself?"

"It's good for the prince to come back." Liang Cuo opened his mouth happily: "Wanxiang sat on the roof all night, waiting for the prince and looking forward to the prince, I was afraid that she would fall." ”

"You stood outside and blew the wind all night?"

Wanxiang stubbornly wiped away the tears that were about to fall: "I can't sleep when the prince is no longer around, so can't I come out to admire the moon?" ”

Xiao Huaijin smiled solemnly: "We can get married." ”

"There's no hurry."

"Why not rush? said that if you live and sleep together, you will die in the same hole, you promised me. ”

He was anxious, for fear that Wanxiang would regret it. Hold the person in the fox fur, press the back of her head and press her lips against her forehead.

It took a long time to let go: "I knelt in the main hall for half a night, and I was very tired." Go back and rest first, what are those things waking up and talking to you? ”

Akika nodded obediently.

……

Xiao Huaijin fell asleep, and Wanxiang lay on the side of the bed with her middle coat and watched him for a while before getting up and putting on thick clothes. When you go into the kitchen, you see something.

So that day, the kitchen of Pingnan Wangfu was not very peaceful. Several cooks stood in the distance and didn't dare to step forward, watching Wanxiang slam the fish on the ground like a fight, and the fish on the ground finally stopped moving.

Watching Wanxiang pick up the stunned fish with her waist in her hand: "I can clean up more than a dozen men, and I can't deal with you?" Is it time to get out of the pot? ”

"Girl, the scales of that fish need to be scraped off."

"Huh? Ah, yes, the scales have to be scraped off, of course. I just forgot. ”

Fortunately, the cook taught the incense hand-in-hand, otherwise what it would have been sent into Xiao Huaijin's mouth. Akika was smothering in the kitchen, rubbing her chin while adding firewood, wondering when the soup would be ready.

The so-called simmering over low heat doesn't have to be simmered until the evening, right?

Wanxiang pulled the bellows fiercely, but thinking that the cook said that she should simmer slowly, she could only be bored and play with weeds.

The person has obviously returned, but Wanxiang still can't stop worrying, and can't stop thinking about how Xiao Huaijin came back.

I fell asleep thinking about it.

When I opened my eyes, the cook had already come over to uncover the pot and put the fish soup into the small soup pot, ready to put it in the food box.

"Okay?"

"Okay, is the girl going to drink it for the prince?"

"Well, I don't know what the prince likes to eat, it's right to drink warm soup in cold weather." Wanxiang stood up and looked into the soup pot, and the cook picked up the small bowl on the side: "Why don't you taste it first?" ”

Wanxiang nodded dumbly: "It's okay." ”

If you really can't drink it, don't give it to Xiao Huaijin. Looking at the milky white fish soup, smelling the tempting soft fragrance, he looked up in surprise and said to the cook: "It's quite decent!" ”

The cook smiled and nodded.

Wanxiang picked up the small spoon and scooped a little into her mouth, she was almost jumping up with joy, she quickly put down the small bowl and picked up the food box on the side, and couldn't wait to go back to the East Courtyard to give Xiao Huaijin a taste of her stewed fish soup.

Before leaving, he said to the cook: "Thank you!" ”

Wanxiang took a hurried pace, holding the food box as steadily as possible in her hand, and when she returned to the bedroom, she just saw Xiao Huaijin sitting up from the bed.

"It's just time for the prince to wake up!" She excitedly put the food box aside, Xiao Huaijin rubbed her forehead: "Why are you not sleeping?" ”
