Chapter 386: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas (1)
The Empress Dowager Xi was fascinated by this, and subconsciously asked, "How did he answer?" ”
The Empress Dowager Xi sighed with pity: "Yu'er told me, these are the same clans, after all, they are close to each other, so they will send people back to their hometown, there is no need to kill them all-"
The Empress Dowager Xi nodded with some satisfaction in her heart, and said, "It's a good boy with a kind heart—"
Who knew that the old princess sneered and said: "However, his kindness did not earn the gratitude of others, and those people saw that there was no hope of inheritance, so they planned to kill the killer and secretly poison Yu'er's diet, but fortunately, they found it in time and did not let those people succeed, but if it was——"
The old princess's tone paused, as if she was a little afraid, the Empress Dowager Xi remembered that over the years, she had taken Ning Hong's dodged open knife and dark arrow, so she was a little concerned, patted the old princess's hand, and said comfortingly: "But we have all come over——"
Then he solemnly said to Qin Hao: "Okay, you go down, these people, get rid of them, remember to remove them cleanly, leave no traces-"
Qin Hao nodded, and retreated without raising his head, and was blown by the cold wind outside the hall, Qin Hao felt that the placket on his back had been soaked with cold sweat.
A woman's quiet aura appeared on his side, Qin Hao turned his head, and saw Xing'er's concerned gaze, his heart warmed, and he raised the corners of his lips and said, "Why don't you serve in the palace?" ”
Xing'er lowered her head a little shyly and said, "The Queen Mother asked me to send off the adult-"
Qin Hao nodded, the only Lu Ran who followed him had been sent by him to send the Qin family back to the house, and now he was the only one left, so he was full of joy and walked slowly towards the palace gate side by side with Xing'er-
This road is not long, but Qin Hao just feels that time is lost quickly in his fingers, his fingers curl up, put down, curl up again, and put down again, but he can't catch anything.
He suddenly had some unconcealable impulses, seeing that there was no one around, he pulled Xing'er over, Xing'er snorted, and before he could react, the whole person was held in Qin Hao's arms, Qin Hao's breathing was a little heavy, and he looked at Xing'er with urgency: "Xing'er, you come out of the palace with me, I'll go and ask the Queen Mother to let her old man give you to me, no, you were originally mine, and you belong to the Qin Mansion-"
He was already a little incoherent in his anxiety, but Xing'er, his eyes were slowly filled with tears, with a trace of grievance and hesitation, his weak and boneless palm slowly attached to Qin Hao's broad and powerful chest, and his cherry lips were opened, and he said softly: "My lord, Xing'er knows the adult's mind, but there is no place for Xing'er in the Qin Mansion, and Madame will not allow Xing'er to stay by the adult's side-"
When Mrs. Qin was mentioned, the flame that had just ignited in Qin Hao's eyes suddenly fell to the ground and went out.
As if someone had poured cold water on her face, and her mind was much clearer, Xing'er felt that the force on his arm was loosened little by little, and she was unwilling, she gritted her teeth, leaned over and leaned her head into Qin Hao's arms, and said in a choked voice: "Xing'er was born in a poor family, and never thought that she could be favored by someone like an adult, Xing'er is enough for this life, as for Xing'er has no way to accompany adults, Xing'er is not blessed, no wonder anyone, but-but--if there is a chance, even once, Xing'er thinks- If you want to stay by the side of the adults forever, as a slave, Xing'er will be content——"
Her voice became more and more soft and low, breathing like an orchid, and slowly raised her head to meet Qin Hao's eyes, she looked at the reason that had just been withdrawn from Qin Hao's eyes, and was once again occupied by *, she could not hide her pride in her heart, her hands were like water snakes, slowly clinging to Qin Hao's neck, red as a cherry, you can see the lovely teeth, Qin Hao's hands couldn't help but tremble, the warm fragrant nephrite was in her arms, and in addition, Mrs. Qin was in front of him, how could she ever be so low, and she would always be so arrogant, is like an unstoppable, high-ranking empress, and the woman in front of her is gentle and lovely, like a soft vine clinging to herself, entangled in it.
Qin Hao looked at Xing'er's slightly closed eyes, couldn't care about anything else, picked her up with both hands, and flashed to the back of the rockery, here is Yikun Palace, the Queen Mother of the West is recuperating, and no one passes by, the sky is the bed, Qin Hao is familiar with the road and can make the woman in front of him surrender for himself-
At that moment, Qin Hao felt that he must be crazy, the palace was heavy, and the Yikun Palace was so bold, if it was discovered, the crime of disturbing the palace would be even the nine clans, but he couldn't care about it anymore, he desperately wanted to possess the woman in front of him-
Xing'er put her hand around Qin Hao's neck, sweat mixed with the aroma of early spring grass, her high face was proud, thinking of the woman who humiliated her several times, Xing'er's eyes were full of viciousness, immediately, as long as it came to pass, she would make that person pay the price, and the man in front of her would become her after all.
A song is sung, no matter how ups and downs the tune is, there will always be a relieving ending.
The two of them tidied up their clothes, Xing'er leaned on Qin Hao's arms like attachment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Xing'er is an adult in this life——"
Qin Hao said solemnly: "Xing'er, don't worry. As long as I have the chance, I will definitely take you out of the palace and give you a place-"
The expression on Xing'er's face froze, but after a while, she said sadly: "My lord, Xing'er doesn't want any status, as long as you can see your adults all the time, and your adults are safe, Xing'er will be content, as for leaving the palace, if Xing'er appears, it will bring unnecessary trouble to adults, Xing'er is willing to look at it from a distance——"
A line of clear tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, taking advantage of her sweaty pink cheeks, which looked particularly moving, Qin Hao gently brushed it away with his hand, raised her chin, kissed it lightly, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of the palace-"
After that, he looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, you should go back, if you come out for a long time, it will inevitably make people suspicious, Xing'er, believe me-"
Xing'er nodded vigorously with a shy and adoring face: "Well--Lord Xing'er Xin-"
When the two came out from behind the rockery, they were like a pair of normal palace maids and foreign officials, polite in advance and retreat.
But when the eyes meet, there is still a lingering friendship and glue-like attachment.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Xing'er stopped and said softly: "Slow down, adult-"
Qin Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just turned around and left.
Xing'er stood in front of the door for a long time, and suddenly a female voice came from behind her: "I spent so much effort to train you, and sent you to the Taiwei Mansion and then to the palace, and you really didn't disappoint me-"
Xing'er turned her head and saw the old princess standing in front of her, Xing'er leaned over respectfully, her face was calm like water, and she had already had the attitude of a young daughter who was full of tenderness.
She said: "Xing'er was adopted by the princess, and this life was given by the princess, so naturally you must be loyal-"
The old princess approached slowly, I don't know why, Xing'er felt a sense of oppression, she turned sideways with a little weakness, but the next moment, she felt that something was wrong, she stiffly stopped her figure, and faced the old princess with a strange and weird attitude.
The old princess stretched out her hand and slowly stroked Xing'er's smooth cheeks, and chuckled: "What are you afraid of, Xing'er?" ”
Xing'er only felt that her heart was about to break free from the confinement of her chest and jump out of it, she smiled wryly: "Xing'er-Xing'er is just a little tired, and she is not afraid-"
The old princess sighed, the end was like a sharp steel knife, approaching Xing'er's heart little by little, she wanted to hide, but she didn't dare, so she had to constantly suppress her trembling, forcing herself to raise her head, facing the old princess, trying to let her see her eyes, but the old princess let go of her face, carefully wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, and said almost coldly: "Xing'er, I know what you think, but before the matter is completed, I advise you not to spoil the affairs of me and Yu'er, otherwise, I can't spare you-"
Xing'er was shocked, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Yes, Xing'er remember-"
The old princess frowned, looked at the direction Qin Hao left, and said, "I hope he can do things more effectively, otherwise, I can't keep him-"
Xing'er was slightly shocked in her heart, and she suddenly remembered the incident she talked about in Yikun Palace just now.
She only said the first half of the incident, but not the second half.
Those people didn't put poison, but they were unwilling to add croton powder to Ning Yu's diet, but how did she and Ning Yu do it?
Xing'er felt that such a scene would be imprinted in his mind for the rest of his life, and those few skinned and bloody people were hung on the door beam of the inner courtyard of Prince Kang's mansion, so that those people from the side branches could visit, take it as a warning, and hang it for seven days and seven nights, until the corpses ** emitted a foul smell, and the old princess asked someone to clean up the corpses.
Of course, only the people in Prince Kang's mansion know about this matter, no one will say it, and no one dares to say it, for fear that the next person to be hung there will be himself.
By the time Xing'er came back to her senses, the old princess had already left, and she almost fell to the ground of the rough bluestone slab as soon as her body went limp.
Beneath her palms were polished smooth pebbles, but she still felt as if she was hurting against her palms.
When she returned to Yikun Palace with her sour body, the Empress Dowager Xi had already fallen asleep.
Only Zi Ke was left outside the hall, and Zhu'er was whispering something by Zi Ke's side, and when she saw Xing'er coming back, she was busy talking and made an excuse to leave.
Zi Kepi looked at Xing'er with a smile and said, "Why, dare to come back, I am still the Xing'er girl who is the girl who has fallen into our country and the city is going to go out of the palace with Lord Qin and become Mrs. Qin." ”
Xing'er was annoyed and angry, knowing that Zike had already known about it, but she really didn't have the strength to argue with her.
With a cold face, she bypassed Zike and went back to her room.
