Chapter 69: The Man in the Circle (I)
In the house, Xiao Nanfeng did not fall asleep, at the moment he was in the study, staring at a portrait in his hand in a daze...
The boundaries of the scroll are a little worn, and it can be seen that it is often taken out for observation.
"Knock... Knock... There was a knock on the door.
Slightly stroked his forehead, put away the scroll in his hand, "What's the matter?"
Li Xun, who was outside the house, replied, "Lord Wang, the guard guarding the door came to report that there were two young sons from outside the mansion just now... It's the one in the palace."
Li Xun was afraid that the people in the room didn't know who he was talking about, so he reminded him again that the person was from the palace.
The man in the room listened, and the action of cleaning up the picture scroll was a little faster, and he was about to go out, when another voice came from outside the door.
"That boy is very strange today, he stood outside the house for a while, and then left again"
Left?
Xiao Nanfeng frowned slightly, and suddenly opened the door, "Where is she now?"
The guard hurriedly came up and replied, "Now that I have left, my subordinates will hurry over and pay homage to the prince."
When the man heard this, he moved his steps, used light skills, and disappeared into the night with a whoosh...
The guard was still a little unrelieved, and looked at the direction of his master's departure in surprise, fortunately he came in to report, seeing that this master was so nervous, presumably that the prince must be a very important person.
Looking back at Li Xun, who was shaking his head helplessly at the moment, the guard couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Li, who is that son?"
Li Xun glanced at the gossipy guard, "You dare to inquire about the prince's affairs, aren't you afraid that the prince will know and blame?" ”
The guard was frightened and hurriedly replied, "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare, the little one will go back to duty first" After speaking, he hurriedly returned to his post, worthy of being the close guard next to the prince, with such a strict mouth.
When he was still secretly speculating about the identity of the young man, he saw that his prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
The guards at the door hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and the person who came had a cold face and asked urgently, "Can you see clearly that she has left?" ”
He had chased him for most of the mile and found no one to be found.
"The subordinates have seen clearly, the two sons are indeed going in the direction of the west of the city," the guard replied cautiously.
After hearing this, the man's expression was slightly constricted, and he asked again, "She is standing here, what do you say!" And you just said she was weird? Where is it strange? ”
The guard didn't dare to slack off, and gave him everything he had just seen in 1510.
"That son, there is a wound on the left side of his face, and there is still blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he has been staring at the plaque of the palace, and...
The man's face was getting colder and colder the more he listened, "What else!" ”
The guard was frightened when he heard this fierce tone, and quickly replied, "I've been shedding tears."
At this time, the man's brows were twisted deeper and deeper, and his eyes shot at the guards kneeling on the ground.
"Since you see her coming, why don't you go into the house immediately to make an announcement! What this king said to you before is regarded as a deaf ear? ”
The guards immediately trembled with fright, and begged for mercy again and again, "The prince's atonement is a dereliction of duty on his subordinates."
Snorted coldly, "Immediately mobilize the government soldiers and find them for this king!" If you can't find her, you don't come back! ”
"Yes, yes! Subordinates, let's go! "A few guards are regretting it in their hearts now, they would have known that they would not enter the palace to report, and now their lives are difficult to protect.
Xiao Nanfeng's face was gloomy, and his gaze was deep, like this mysterious night, unfathomable.
Looking up at the golden plaque, I thought of the person who was standing in the same place as him just now, but his face was wounded, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and tears were still flowing.
His heart ached for a while.
Yue'er, where have you been, why did you come, and left...
At this time, Xiao Qingyue and Forsythia had already been taken away by a few black-clothed men guarding the road...
Several people tied them up to an abandoned courtyard, where an evil man in a silver-gray brocade robe was waiting.
When Xiao Qingyue saw that person, she said in horror, "It's you?!" ”
The man smiled evilly, "It's me"
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The sky was slightly bright, flocks of birds had already begun to chirp, and today's sky was very thick and gray.
Xiao Qingyue had already returned to the palace at this time, and she had been sitting in the main hall since she came back, her face at this moment could no longer be described as pale, it was a kind of sadness that bordered on despair.
As soon as Xiao Youyu stepped into the main hall, he was frightened by the person sitting there, and came to her in three steps and two steps.
"Something happened! Your face! The delicate face was red and swollen, the blood at the corners of the mouth had dried up and scarred, and the wounded man had a sad face.
Slowly moving her gaze to the person in front of her, Xiao Qingyue's eyes were already involuntarily red, and although the tears were about to overflow, she still forced it back.
At this time, Forsythia and Pothos stepped into the main hall one after the other early. . .
Xiao Youyu hurriedly asked the two maids again, "What happened last night" Xiao Qingyue must have done something she didn't know after she fell asleep.
While putting the breakfast in the tray, the green pothos replied aggrievedly, "It's not because of the six princes" Forsythia came back and told her, Xiao Qingyue's face was beaten by the six princes, but I didn't expect the dignified Jiankang No. 1 beautiful man to be a beast!
The Six Princes? The more Xiao Youyu listened, the more puzzled he became, "You guys left the palace again last night?" ”
At this time, Forsythia took over and said, "Well, the princess wants to see the prince, so she will leave the palace after you sleep."
When the person sitting on the side heard what she said, he unconsciously pursed his lips, and the strangeness in his eyes flashed.
"Your face, was it hit by the sixth prince?" Xiao Youyu still can't believe it, Xiao Nanfeng beats women? The person who doesn't even bother to make a superfluous expression will hit a woman?
Xiao Qingyue forcibly squeezed out a smile, wanting her good sister not to worry, but her smile was more ugly than not smiling.
"I'll go back to the room first, I didn't sleep much last night, and I'm so tired now" After speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Youyu's reply, and hurriedly got up and left.
Xiao Youyu looked at the person who left in a hurry, his brows furrowed more and more, what happened last night!
Here, as soon as Xiao Qingyue returned to the room and finished washing, Forsythia followed.
At this time, the forsythia's face had long since lost the appearance of the little maid in the main hall just now, and the eyes on the contrary flashed with indifference and ruthlessness that had never been seen before.
And when Xiao Qingyue saw her, she was even more vigilant, and there was a lot of panic in her eyes.
At this time, Forsythia said in a cold voice, "When exactly are you going to do it!" ”
I was shocked, and even my breathing became disordered, "I'm not ready"
"Humph! When you're ready, I'm afraid that the people outside the palace are already dead."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingyue raised her head in horror and looked at the person who looked like a forsythia, but had a very different personality.
I only heard her continue, "Don't forget, you have less than three days, and once the three days are over... Your baby little girl is going to die, don't try to play any tricks, I'll be watching you for the next two days! If you dare to tell others, be careful of the other people in your Feixia Palace, their lives will not be guaranteed! ”
The words closed, and the latter's pupils shrank suddenly, and the already unsettled heart was even more uneasy at this time.
Linchuan Palace
The selection of concubines that had been said was not held as scheduled today.
All the subordinates in the mansion were a little trembling, doing things carefully, serving carefully, and even the steps of walking became cautious. I'm afraid that it will be too loud, so I will disturb the people who have been staying in the study since I came back last night.
Last night, all the soldiers of the palace were transferred out to find someone, but this person didn't look for long, and someone in the palace came out to spread the word, saying that Xiao Qingyue had returned to the palace safely.
When the guards returned to the mansion with this news, Xiao Nanfeng immediately ordered to pull out a few people who were on duty outside the mansion tonight and beat them up for more than a dozen boards.
Those guards felt that they were very wronged, and it was not their fault that this person did not enter the palace, and it became their fault that he returned to the palace safely.
made such a fuss, which angered the prince, and the concubine selection was gone. All the young ladies of the dignitaries and dignitaries who are to be married and carefully dressed up are all happy to come and return with a bad mood.
At this time, the man in the study was still rubbing the scroll in his hand, and he didn't close his eyes all night.
At this time, Fleur came to the outside of the study with a plate of tea and a few plates of pastries. As soon as she heard that today's concubine selection was canceled, she hurriedly dressed up. This prince is really still a nostalgic person, thinking of this, the walking posture is even more beautiful. Last night, there was so much movement in the house to find someone, and I don't know who I was looking for.
Li Xun was guarding outside the study, and he smelled a strong smell of rouge gouache from afar, and his eyebrows instantly wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
This person is the master's favorite concubine, he is not easy to offend, and said respectfully, "Concubine Fu, please stay, the prince said not to let anyone disturb"
Fleur smiled charmingly, and replied in her unique delicate voice, "It's past breakfast time now, and the prince hasn't eaten yet, and the concubine will send these in and out, and it won't disturb the prince."
Li Xun was choking on his throat a little itchy because of the strong smell of rouge at this time, but he could only hold it hard. The official replied, "The prince has an order, and his subordinates just do what they are told, and I hope that Concubine Fu will forgive me."
Just when Fleur was still thinking about how to enter this study, the door suddenly opened...
The man in the room, although he had not slept all night, was still refreshed and looked at ease. Stepping out the door, the man was also choked by the smell and frowned.
When Furong saw him come out, she was instantly overjoyed, and quickly picked up the things in her hand, "Lord, you haven't used breakfast yet, this is the tea cooked by the concubine for you, as well as these pastries, which are also made by the concubine herself for the prince, and they are all the snacks that the prince loves to eat on weekdays" She said like a treasure, talking about the origin of these things, she did this to let Xiao Nanfeng know that even if there is a princess in the palace, she is also the most intimate side concubine.
Xiao Nanfeng indifferently glanced at the things in the tray, and then looked at the person, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"What are you rubbing on your body, it smells so bad"
Fleur was a little overwhelmed when she heard this, and quickly lowered her head and sniffed it, where it stinks, she uses good rouge gouache.
Li Xun on the side couldn't help but almost laugh at the corner of his mouth. Then I heard the man continue, "Have you been too idle lately!" ”
The person who was said had a numb face and was a little embarrassed, "Lord Wang... ”
"Go back to the back garden, and don't go near the study in the future!"
Fleur bit her lower lip lightly, a little aggrieved, she thought that she would come over to offer her hospitality and invite a pet, but now it is counterproductive. I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart, who dared to provoke this prince to anger?
Xiao Nanfeng saw that she was still in place, and then spoke again, "What this king said is still not clear?" ”
"It's not..."
"That's not going to go"
Fleur was suddenly speechless, so she had to leave lonely with refreshments, and when she turned around, there was a man's conversation behind her.
"Li Xun, get ready, this king is going to enter the palace"
"Yes"
Furong couldn't help but wonder, now that it has passed the time of the early dynasty, today because of the choice of concubines, Xiao Nanfeng did not go to the court, why would he enter the palace again?
Don't... Is it for the princess of the month?
Thinking of this, the hand holding the edge of the tray unconsciously tightened and tightened.
