One hundred and twenty-one I am afraid of anything, but I am not afraid to be with you
"Let's go back!" Ye Linghan said: "These things, we will investigate slowly. β
I nodded.
This day was really fulfilling, and I experienced the happiest thing in so long a time - holding hands with Ye Linghan and eating all the food in the streets and alleys; The most incredible thing - there is such a superb disguise technique in this world, and I can't even see any clues when Zijin dresses up as me; The most touching thing - the old mother can see that Zi Jin is not the real Qing Qingyi just by feeling; The most shocking thing - what is the identity of Wind Yin? But in the end, what does the Holy One have to do with her?
I changed back into a woman's outfit, walked through the bustling streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and returned to the palace walls again.
Ye Linghan didn't walk in directly, but stopped hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"I can't bear to let this day go by......" he said regretfully.
It seems that he also cherishes the day we spend alone together, and I smiled shyly, just as reluctant as he was.
"Qingyi."
"Huh?"
"After we go back, we may face more problems, and our road may be more difficult to walk......
"I know." I replied, how can I not know this, the concubine Niangniang and her Yucheng will not give up on the issue of family affairs, and the prince has just been wronged, and it is estimated that he is not happy in his heart, and I have just fallen out with the queen and Heze and tore my face, and they probably won't make me look good.
And the distance between me and Ye Linghan is getting farther and farther.
"Don't let go of my hand, okay?" Ye Linghan asked softly, his expression was sad, and his eyes were full of loneliness.
I walked over and took his hand, looked into his eyes, and said firmly: "No matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, I will overcome them with you, now I am not the same as before, I am afraid of everything now, but the most fearful thing is to be with you." β
The two of us stood in place, looked at each other for a long time, and finally held hands tightly and strode into the palace.
In the Anle Palace, there was silence at the moment.
They're all gone. When I stood at the gate of Anle Palace, I couldn't help but think of them again, they must have passed out of Chang'an City after a day's journey, right? In this door, there will never be their familiar figures and happy laughter again......
The maid at the door saluted me, I didn't have time to estimate them, and walked listlessly towards my bedroom, but at the end of the corridor, I found that Chen Fei's door was still open at this moment.
I glanced at the other rooms around me, the doors of the rooms of Qi Ming and Dui Xue were tightly closed, could it be that the maids forgot to close Chen Fei's door? It's unlikely......
I walked towards Chen Fei's room suspiciously, but I didn't want to see Chen Fei drinking tea in the house!
I blinked my eyes, it was really a big living person Chen Fei in front of me!
"Senior brother! Why are you still here? β
Chen Fei glanced at me and smiled brightly, "I'm waiting for you to come back!" If you don't come back, where will I go? β
"I thought...... I thought you had already gone with them and went back to Shennong Hall......"
Chen Fei laughed heartily twice, "You think I don't know you?" Leaving so early in the morning, didn't you just want to avoid this parting scene? You can't bear to watch us all go, I know, so I'm staying with you. β
I didn't know what to say for a while, although I didn't want Chen Fei to suffer with me in the palace, but his decision still moved me very much, at this time, he could still make such a decision, I instantly felt that he was closer than my own brother......
It must be because of the parting reason, I am really hypocritical today. I shook my head, shook off those sad thoughts, and suddenly thought of something, and took the brocade box out of my sleeve.
"Senior brother, what do you think this is?"
Chen Fei opened the box, and his eyes suddenly straightened, "This is ...... Opal? β
"Hmm!" I nodded, "This was given to me by someone else when I was in the Yuchun Mansion before, so that as long as I grind it into powder and find the third herb, my face can be healed!" β
"Really? That's great! Chen Fei was very happy, "So as long as we find the glacial meltwater on the snowy mountain, can we heal the wound on your face?" β
"Yes!" I replied.
"In that case, let's go to the Northern Desert tomorrow, okay? Let the Inurong King take us there, so that we can get the meltwater of the snowy mountains as soon as possible, and you won't have to wear a mask soon! Chen Fei was elated, dancing and imagining, looking at me with anticipation, eager to pack his luggage and go to the Northern Desert Snow Mountain immediately.
I haven't been back to that snowy mountain for ten years.
Once upon a time, my home was there, and that was where I lived day and night. And now, it was a hometown that I didn't dare to go back to, and under that white snow, buried my parents, and all the lives of my holy palace.
"Big brother...... I guess I won't be able to go back at this point......" I muttered.
"Why?" The smile on Chen Fei's face condensed, "Why?" Why? No, tell me, why is that? β
"Senior brother, don't worry, it's not that I don't want to go, do you think it's okay for me to be active within the scope of Chang'an in this situation, I want to go back to the Northern Desert, will the saint and the concubine Niangniang let me go back?"
I anxiously explained that the matter was not finished yet, I just wanted everything to have a reasonable ending, what was the matter of fleeing with fear? And I'm leaving, I won't stay here, and besides, I'm going to go with Ye Linghan.
Before we could finish speaking, the concubine Niangniang hurriedly walked in with a cold face and a maid's expression.
"Concubine Niangniang." I blessed my body and bowed, "Why are you here?" β
"Why am I here?" The noble concubine Niangniang's face was angry, and her eyes widened, "Let me ask you, did you and Ye Linghan walk into the palace holding hands today?" β
It turns out that she is here for this matter.
Listening to her words, Chen Fei turned his head abruptly and looked at me incredulously, his eyes were full of deep doubt, waiting for my answer.
I looked at Chen Fei's expression, and felt distressed and guilty, and I knew that if I answered yes, he would be hurt by me again...... But if I want to answer no, it will be equivalent to me denying my relationship with Ye Linghan, how can this be.
I looked at the provocative eyes of the concubine, gritted my teeth, and nodded.
Guifei's face became darker, she gasped angrily, her shoulders trembled, "Qingyi, do you know what you're talking about?" As the princess of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of system did you do with the brocade guards to do such an indecent thing? Do you want to lose your face? β
I sighed and retorted coldly: "Please also ask the concubine to make it clear, why am I indecent?" Why don't you lose face? Is it bad for me to hold hands with someone I like? So how many people are on the streets of Chang'an City who are breaking morals! β
"Heh" Guifei Niangniang sneered and rolled her eyes, "As the princess of the Tang Dynasty, grooming is very important, you are a daughter, do you think you are a peasant girl walking casually on the street?" How can you just walk hand in hand with a man? β
"What's wrong with me being a princess? Isn't a princess worthy of someone she likes? Also, Niangniang, I am the princess of the Northern Desert, not the princess of Chang'an, we in the Northern Desert, there is no such rule. β
The concubine's face turned purple with anger, this is the first time I have contradicted her, and it is estimated that it is also the first time that someone has contradicted her with such harsh words, she rolled her eyes a few times hatefully, sneered, and said faintly without a trace of emotion: "Qingyi, don't pretend to be confused with my smart people, what I want to say, you know very well." β
Seeing that the attitude of the concubine Niangniang calmed down, my tone also softened, after all, I don't want to quarrel with anyone, but I don't want someone to break me up with Ye Linghan.
Qingyi didn't understand what Niangniang meant, and asked Niangniang to make it clear. Qingyi didn't mean to contradict Niangniang just now, but Qingyi and Lord Ye really love each other and don't want to be swayed by others. I said respectfully.
"You still say!" The concubine raised her eyebrows, and her face became even more fierce, "In front of the saint before, I proposed marriage to you and Yucheng, so that the saint let the twilight snow go back to the Northern Desert." Now that you are holding hands with Ye Ling Han, are you deliberately slapping me in the face? Or is it deliberately trying to make the saint ugly? β
I knew that she must have come for the marriage of Yucheng and me, but I didn't expect that so soon, the matter of me and Ye Linghan holding hands outside the palace gate could be known to her, it seems that there are so many eyeliners in this deep palace that I dare not underestimate it, no matter what you do, it is basically in the hands of these girls.
I lowered my head and explained sincerely, "Concubine Niangniang, I am really grateful that you were willing to help Twilight and Qiming at the beginning, but this way of repaying me is not for me to make a promise!" And you didn't say that you would only help us if I agreed to marry Yucheng, and at that time, you didn't ask me for anything! With Twilight Snow leaving, the prince's strength will drop greatly, at least he will not be able to succeed to the throne in recent years, isn't this a good thing for Yucheng? This kind of win-win thing, why does the concubine Niangniang insist that I give you an explanation and a return? β
The concubine looked at me in surprise, as if she did not expect me to make such a remark, and she looked at me playfully, and spat out a little laugh or two from time to time, which was not at all coherent.
"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehe...... It's really sharp! You think that's going to do it for me? How naΓ―ve! But you have to admit that the Holy Lord put Twilight Snow back into the Northern Desert because of my proposal, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do this if you don't agree......"
"Concubine Niangniang, you are wrong again." I raised my head and looked into her eyes, and said word by word: "I'll tell you right now that the Holy Lord let Dusk Xue return to the Northern Desert because the King of the Huns led 100,000 troops to be stationed at the border, not anyone's words. And now, I want to go, and I can still concoct it in the same way, without the need for anyone's plea or release! β
