Chapter 176: Life Hangs by a Thread (1)
The strategist fell to his knees suddenly, but his expression was indeed neither humble nor arrogant: "Even if Miss scolds her subordinates today, her subordinates will say that the patriarch has always been iron-faced and selfless, and there is no room for turning around in this matter, so it is better for Miss to make plans early." Xiao Nai just snorted coldly and said: "Father won't, Brother Yue calls his father uncle, it is impossible for my father to look at Brother Yue so indifferent." β
Xiao Nai said coldly. The strategist shook his head in disapproval, and at this time, the guard outside said, "Miss, someone from southern Xinjiang is here." Xiao Nai's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who it is?" The man first glanced at the strategist who was kneeling on the ground, and whispered, "Yesβit's the young masterβ"
After speaking, he didn't dare to say any more, Xiao Nai frowned tightly, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, at this time a voice came in from outside the door and said: "It is said that the scenery of the capital city of Dali is pleasant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and now it seems that it is really a fascinating place, no wonder my cousin is happy." β
The voice was flirtatious and soft, and an impatient look immediately appeared on Xiao Nai's face, she pursed her lips slightly, turned around and walked towards the top, and sat down before saying with a forced smile: "Xiao He, what are you doing?" β
I saw a young and handsome man standing at the bottom, with a long body, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, but that pair of peach blossom eyes gave people a very bad feeling, at this time he was looking at Xiao Nai who was sitting at the top, and the smile on Xiao Nai's face dissipated little by little under the gaze of such a gaze.
As soon as Xiao He stretched out his hand, he took out a paper fan from his back, unfolded it carefully, and shook it slowly without hurrying.
Xiao Nai just glanced at it, then turned his face away, unwilling to look at it again, this Xiao He has been such a dead picture since she was a child, but she is a girl who has not yet left the pavilion after all, and she can't help but blush and say: "Xiao He, you have something to say quickly, I still have something to do?" Xiao He snapped back the paper fan and said with a smile: "Indeed, Nell has something to be busy, since Nell already knows, then I won't say more, you hurry up and pack your things, and we will leave the capital tonight." β
Sure enough, things are as the strategist said, Xiao He came this time to take Xiao Nai back to southern Xinjiang, Xiao Nai's face changed suddenly, and he said with a far-fetched smile: "What does my cousin mean by this, Naier doesn't know, Naier still has something, my cousin can play around the capital these days to watch, since my cousin also likes the scenery of the capital, Naier will enter the friendship of the landlord." β
Xiao He laughed loudly, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, but no one could see the indifference in Xiao He's eyes: "I'm afraid that Nell didn't hear my words, since that's the case, then Nell will look at Uncle's letter." β
After speaking, he motioned to his entourage to hand over the letter in the package, Xiao Nai's face became more and more ugly, the notes of appreciation were strong and powerful, it was Xiao Tian's own, Xiao Tian was the patriarch of the Xiao family, and he had always been iron-faced and selfless, even if it was Xiao Nai's biological daughter, he didn't dare to make a mistake easily in front of him, but he didn't want to send Xiao He to write a letter in person this time, but she still didn't believe that her father would give up Tuoba Yue like this, her fingers trembled lightly and unfolded Xiao Tian's letter, I read it word for word, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Xiao Tian had secretly sent someone to Shuzhong to help, but just in case, if the current emperor had a murderous intention on Tuoba Yue, then Tuoba Yue was in Shu and could not reach the whip, then Xiao Nai, who was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, would become his pawn and even a hostage.
In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Xiao Nai had to return to southern Xinjiang first. Xiao Nai's heart that had been hanging before finally let go, she read the whole letter with a smile in her eyes, and then she leaked the first smile since she learned that Tuoba Yue was infected with the epidemic, Xiao Nai smiled: "Father has always adhered to the words of a gentleman, once a word is spoken, it is difficult for a horse to chase, in this case, I am relieved, cousin, I will order someone to pack up things, but I went out of the city overnight, for fear of arousing suspicion, how about we go out of the city tomorrow openly?" β
The smile between Xiao He's eyebrows never dissipated, he slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then there is Raunel." β
Xiao Nai nodded, asked the housekeeper to take the person down, and arranged the guest room. After Xiao He left, the strategist said, "Miss, why did you agree to your cousin so easily?"
Xiao Nai handed the letter in his hand to the strategist, and the strategist looked at it with ten lines, and there was some suspicion in his eyes, but after thinking about it, he hid all his expressions.
At this time, in Shuzhong, time passed minute by minute, although He Xi brought prescriptions and medicinal materials, but if you want to really succeed in the configuration, it is still extremely difficult, for two days, there is no progress at all, He Xi saw that Tuoba Yue was sleeping longer and longer every day, and the previous medicine had no effect on Tuoba Yue, what He Xi brought was the last hope, Xiaoyu also began to fall asleep, but he fell asleep for a short time, but no matter when, he still didn't want to see He Xi.
Wang Lang had some pity for this child, and he also saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, when He Xi was rejected again, Wang Lang was angry, and his originally dark face seemed to be condensed with dark clouds, and he got up and was about to rush in.
But he was stopped by He Xi, Wang Lang said: "Little master, this kid is so ignorant, I will teach him a good lesson." In Wang Lang's opinion, Xiaoyu followed him all the way, he had already regarded this child as his younger brother, the younger brother was not sensible, and he must be taught a lesson when he was an elder brother.
He Xi's eyes were full of understanding, and he said lightly: "That's it, it's an eventful time now, and when everything is solved, our affairs will be solved." β
She turned around and walked away without hesitation, Wang Lang looked at Xiaoyu's room and saw the little head flashing by the window.
He frowned, thinking of He Xi's words, he could only endure it.
He Xi returned to Tuoba Yue's study, at this time Lu Ran was serving Tuoba Yue with dinner, Tuoba Yue's originally star-like eyes were closed, his lips were blue, and his face was gray, He Xi stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "I'll come." β
Lu Ran had already heard He Xi's footsteps, and when he heard the words, he got up and handed over the cup in his hand to He Xi, in the clear and clear bowl, there was a bowl of porridge that was extremely cooked, not thick, and the aroma of rice was emitting with the heat.
Lu Ran got up and retreated, and closed the door again, He Xi gently scooped a spoonful and put it on his lips to blow it cold, before handing it to Tuoba Yue's lips, and gently fed his chin with his fingers, feeding the porridge in, but Tuoba Yue was unconscious at this time, and the juice slid down the angular corners of his lips, looking very embarrassed, but He Xi was accustomed to tasting it: "I went to see the light rain today, do you know?" The boy was bold, clever, and had a younger sister, but unfortunately she died in the plague, leaving her alone, and even so, he tried not to give me his illness, and pretended to lose his temper with me every timeβ"
He Xi raised a smile on the corner of his lips as he spoke, softly, but Tuoba Yue couldn't see it, at this time he may be immersed in his own world, unwilling to wake up, but He Xi didn't seem to care if he could hear himself or not, just whispered to himself, and the movements of his hands didn't stop, and he scooped a spoonful and fed it, this time it was much better than last time, at least most of it was swallowed, she suddenly felt as if something was choking in her throat, hot and painful, Her eyes couldn't help but turn red when it hurt.
She sniffed and continued, "I saw Xiaoxue, she is a very cute little girl, and I can see that he loves his sister very much. It's just that God loves to play tricks on people so much, it's too late for them to see the last meeting, right? β
Saying that, a tear dripped from her eyes and dripped directly onto Tuoba Yue's pale hand, He Xi was alert, turned around and wanted to find a handkerchief to wipe the tears away, but she didn't notice that the pale fingertips subconsciously tightened, and when He Xi found the handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears, the person in front of him had slowly opened his eyes, and when Tuoba Yue opened his eyes, he saw He Xi was concentrating on helping himself is water stains on his hands, that serious appearance, As if he was holding some rare treasure in his hand, he was cautious and religious.
Between his eyebrows, there was a lot less of his usual teeth and claws and vigilance, and he became gentle and quiet, and Tuoba Chen didn't know why he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth. Looking at it like this, it seems to imprint the person in front of me deeply into my heart. He Xi carefully wiped Tuoba Yue's wrist, only to see that there was a deep scar visible at his tiger's mouth, which was actually the one that she bit him back then, her fingertips trembled a little, as if she wanted to touch, but before her fingers touched, she saw the owner of the hand turn his palm over and press the scar under his hand, He Xi suddenly woke up and looked at Tuoba Yue.
When he raised his eyes, he bumped into a pair of warm eyes, the tenderness in those eyes was something he had never seen, and the spoiling was something he had never seen.
He Xi couldn't help but be a little stupid, she stared at Tuoba Yue fixedly, but she also exposed her vulnerability in front of him, Tuoba Yue suddenly raised her hand, put her hand on He Xi's eyes, and said lightly: "He Xi, don't look at me like this-"
He Xi didn't seem to understand, and blinked his eyes through Tuoba Yue's palm.
