Chapter 9 Borrow a light and let me be handsome
Wuxiang quickly came out of the hole with a dodge, and at this time he was in a mess, and there were many wounds on his body, the other wounds were quite subtle, but the most serious was a knife wound in the abdomen, which almost stained his clothes red.
But even though the injury was so severe, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and his expression was relaxed, obviously getting what he wanted.
Smelling the bloody breath on his body, the tigers who were still quiet just now suddenly made a commotion, as if they felt the invasion of the enemy, and suddenly stood up straight and looked at Wuxiang vigilantly.
Wuxiang's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Su Xinyan's collar and said, "Let's go!" ”
After he finished speaking, he took a few light strokes under his feet, jumped on the branch, and took advantage of the fact that the beast below did not react, and left the small courtyard with Su Xinyan safely.
As if at the same time, a tiger roar came, and the sound shook the sky, as if it was a warning, and it directly woke up everyone in the sleeping Three Princes' Mansion.
A large number of soldiers crowded into the small courtyard, and the three princes' mansions suddenly burst into flames. Su Xinyan looked back and thought that the two of them would be trapped inside if they were a second late.
However, to be able to cause such a big battle, I don't know what Wuxiang stole in the end.
But no matter what kind of treasure it is, it is surrounded by fierce beasts on the outside and guarded by organs inside, which must be extremely important to the three princes. Under such layers of protection, and things are lost, the three princes will definitely not be reconciled.
It seems that Kyoto may not be at peace again.
Su Xinyan asked the doubts in her heart, but Wuxiang obviously didn't want to answer her doubts. Just smiled, threw her back into the room, and left the prince's mansion alone.
Although Su Xinyan was full of doubts, his body was too sleepy, and he fell asleep after not supporting it for long.
Unfortunately, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
This behavior of Wuxiang really disturbed the peace of the capital for a long time, and even brought great trouble to the entire people of Kyoto.
The next day, the whole city of the capital was under martial law, and the external version is that a house slave in the palace of the three princes stole something given by the Holy Lord, and was being searched for in the whole city at this time. For a time, the streets were full of patrolling officers and soldiers, arresting the criminals quickly, and the people who made a fuss were panicked and in danger.
In the prince's mansion, Su Xinyan listened to the report of the eunuch Xiao Zhuo while eating the breakfast carefully prepared by his subordinates.
Xiao Zhuo didn't have much anger at the loss of things in the Three Princes' Mansion, and even gloated a little, "The slave said that people like the Three Princes will suffer some hardships sooner or later, and they will go against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince everywhere, and often secretly use some ruthless means, that is, Our Royal Highness is kind-hearted, otherwise he would have been cleaned up a long time ago." ”
Su Xinyan nodded, and waited until he finished speaking before asking, "Do you know what the thief stole from?" ”
Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "I've never heard of it, but it's definitely something extremely precious." He looked around and whispered, "Just now the slave went around the street, and he met several groups of officers and soldiers who were checking, fortunately the slave only had the token on the prince's mansion, otherwise he would not have escaped being arrested and tortured." ”
Su Xinyan was a little weak-hearted, after all, the result of this incident was caused by them. Still, she had no idea what that baby was.
Seeing that her thinking was unsuccessful, and she couldn't see the figure of Wuxiang, she could only suppress the boredom in her heart and deal with other things for the time being.
At this time, the fox, which had been recuperating in the jar for a long time, finally poked its head out of it.
It stretched its waist, and the white fur on its body trembled, before it finally climbed onto Su Xinyan's shoulder.
Su Xinyan glanced at it, looking at its more and more shiny fur, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, it's better to be a human than a pet, your master and I still have to run around for life, you are fine, you can eat and drink every day." ”
The little white fox squeaked twice, and some shook its fists in protest.
Su Xinyan pursed her lips and took the plate of pine nuts at hand, "Since you don't want to cheat and cheat, then help me do something." ”
Although these pine nuts are delicious, they always have to be shelled, and she has long been impatient to peel them, so she just handed them over to the little fox.
"Your claws are so sharp, it's a shame not to use them to peel the shell, come here and pinch them."
The little white fox looked at the pine nuts in his hand, then at Su Xinyan, squeaked angrily twice, and then threw down the pine nuts and wanted to jump back into the jar.
"Think beautifully." Su Xinyan grabbed it, moved the jar next to it, and put it far away.
She picked up the little fox's neck with one hand and said, "You peel the shell for me, and the master will give you this jar, otherwise I will throw it out." ”
The little fox stood upright on its hind legs, and squeaked for a long time, protesting for a long time, but did not see the slightest wavering in the man's expression.
Seeing that the other party was indifferent, it lowered its ears and jumped on the table to peel the pine nuts.
In front of that pair of sharp claws, the pine nut shell was simply vulnerable.
After crushing dozens of pine nuts, the little fox finally mastered the strength, and the pine nuts on the air were full of grains, comparable to a machine.
Su Xinyan nodded thoughtfully, she finally found the use of this fox.
For a while, the fox peeled its shell, Su Xinyan ate pine nuts, and life was incomparably beautiful.
Finally peeled a plate of pine nuts, and the fox quietly leaned out of his body for a while, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he stared at Su Xinyan.
Hearing a soft sound, the fox grabbed its paws and grabbed it straight at Su Xinyan's thigh.
That kind of force, if it were an ordinary person, would definitely hurt deep to the bone. It's a pity that it only destroyed Su Xinyan's clothes with this claw.
I saw that the clothes on the thighs were torn to shreds in an instant, but the skin underneath was not even hurt at all.
Su Xinyan didn't raise his eyes, and said faintly, "I don't have anything to eat tonight." ”
The little fox suddenly became anxious, jumped to protest, its previous life was very good, it was served by people for hundreds of years, and it had never been wronged at all. But when I got here, I was always hungry for three days, and I couldn't bear it.
"However, speaking of which," Su Xinyan raised his head slightly, glanced at the little fox and said, "How did the people of the Gao family offend you?" If you don't live in a place where you have been leaving it for hundreds of years, you have to destroy the ancestral hall and hurt people's lives. ”
The little fox was suddenly a little lost after hearing this, and his ears were depressed, looking like the past was unbearable to look back on, and it was not worth mentioning again.
Su Xinyan was not so easy to dismiss, she rolled her eyes, and hurriedly sent a subordinate to inquire.
This kind of gossip is the most curious about her.
Without waiting for the man to come back, the eunuch Xiao Zhuo walked in, saluted and said, "Gonggong Su, Your Highness has summoned you." ”
After Su Xinyan heard this, her heart jumped, and she couldn't help grinding her teeth and thinking, wouldn't it be something to tell her to do.
Although she knew that it would definitely not be a good thing for His Highness to find her, she could not disobey the order, so she could only reluctantly follow the eunuch Xiao Zhuo out of the courtyard.
Passing a small garden on the way, Su Xinyan couldn't help but stop and look around. At this time, the rare flowers in the garden have bloomed, and they are all beautiful and beautiful.
She had never seen so many beautiful flowers, and she really wanted to take this opportunity to have a good look.
Unfortunately, the sky did not follow people's wishes, and she heard a burst of scolding before she entered the back garden.
Su Xinyan was stunned for a moment, heard the voice behind the rockery, and couldn't help but poke his head out to look over.
I saw a woman wearing a delicate hair ornament teaching a little maid, the woman was obviously very angry, her face was flushed, she pointed to her clothes and said angrily, "You dog slave, you are really not enough, you are more than ruined, you are just careless, and you even stained the clothes of the palace!" ”
Su Xinyan looked at the tea stains poured on the ground, as well as the little maid who kept kowtowing and admitting her mistakes, and she knew it in her heart.
It turned out to be the arrogant crown princess.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not married a concubine under the pretext of being busy with official business, and he now only has two concubines given by the emperor. This should be the legendary and domineering Princess Zhao.
Looking at the appearance of that beauty, Su Xinyan couldn't help but nodded, although she was rude and capricious, but this face was really beautiful, worthy of the emperor's reward.
But it's a pity that as far as she knows, the number of times the prince has gone to see these two side concubines can be counted with only two palms, which is simply a model of Lang's ruthless concubine's intention.
The prince is so unfeminine, could it be that there is something wrong with it? She thought with some schadenfreude.
Originally, she was just thinking about watching the excitement, but she didn't expect that the burning war just now would quickly spread to her.
Princess Zhao happened to see Su Xinyan at this time, and couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly walked over, looking behind her, "What a coincidence, Gonggong Su, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come over with you?" ”
Su Xinyan shook his head and quietly moved away from the other party, it was too thick.
Princess Zhao was gloomy after hearing this, and said with some grievances, "Your Highness is not very busy these days, he has not come to the dormitory of this palace for a long time." ”
"This ...... The subordinates are also not clear. Su Xinyan said with some embarrassment.
How could she know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince, even she herself couldn't see His Highness for three days.
It's a pity that Princess Zhao obviously didn't trust what she said, and in her opinion, Su Xinyan's words were obviously excuses. After all, in this prince's mansion, who doesn't know that Gonggong Su is the most favored and is often summoned by His Royal Highness the Prince. Since she can't get the guarantee of Father-in-law Su, it must be that her dots are not in place.
Princess Zhao was at a loss, and hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a night pearl into Su Xinyan's hand.
"Father-in-law, don't shirk, this is the little heart of this palace. My father-in-law has been tired of accompanying the prince for the past few days, but I don't know if my father-in-law can take a look in front of the prince and let the prince take the time to take a look around the palace. ”
Su Xinyan quietly put the pearl of the night into her sleeve, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves Niangniang so much, and he will definitely do what Niangniang wants." ”
Princess Zhao looked surprised and raised her eyebrows.
"Then the minion will retire and go to see His Highness." Su Xinyan nodded with a smile, raised his feet and was about to leave.
When she turned her head and saw the little girl who was still kneeling on the ground crying, she finally couldn't bear to say, "Since this little girl knows that she is wrong, it is better for the princess to let her go." ”
Princess Zhao's wish has been granted, how can she still have the heart to care about the little maid next to her, so she waved her hand and said, "That girl is blessed, she actually fell into the eyes of her father-in-law." Then I accepted my father-in-law's love and let her go. ”
Su Xinyan smiled and thanked him, and then turned around to see the prince.
The prince was in the bamboo garden at this time, and Su Xinyan followed the eunuch who led the way all the way to the gate of the bamboo garden and stopped.
The eunuch who led the way said: "Father-in-law Su, Your Highness is resting at the pavilion inside, father-in-law, you can see it when you go straight." ”
Su Xinyan said: "Okay, it's hard work." ”
Bidding farewell to the eunuch who led the way, she walked all the way to the pavilion.
Stepping on the steps of the gazebo, Su Xinyan happened to see the prince who was fishing, and hurriedly walked over. She just wanted to slap the horse, but found that there was not a single fish in the bamboo basket next to the prince!
Yes, I can't find any whiskers and horses.
Su Xinyan shook his head in frustration, so he had to honestly stand next to the prince and ask softly, "Your Highness, what are you looking for a slave?" ”
