Chapter 63: Eavesdropping
The campfire in the camp was clearly extinguished, and it was already the middle of the night.
She silently approached the direction of the main tent, and for some reason, the soldiers guarding outside the tent were withdrawn, and the entire area around the main tent was empty.
As she approached, she heard the sound of porcelain shattering from within. Immediately after, a familiar voice sounded in the tent with a little trepidation: "Your Highness is angry...... It was Weichen's incompetence that turned Chu Jing over and couldn't find his mother. ”
She was stunned, Childe is also here?
She didn't see Childe when she was marching a few days ago, she should have just arrived. No wonder the tsundere prince hasn't slept so late, he was waiting for his son, and it's no wonder that he removed all the people around the big tent, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized.
In the tent, Song Yuanxi stared at Gu Ziyi who was kneeling on the ground, and felt that he was simply a waste. After so many days, I was embarrassed to come and tell him that no one had been found, so what was the use of asking him?
"That's how you do things for this king?"
Gu Ziyi felt cold sweat slide down the back of his neck.
"Your Highness, forgive Weichen for being blunt......" he said stiffly: "Weichen thinks...... The mother may have ...... I'm not in Chujing anymore......"
Someone eavesdropping outside the tent said silently in his heart, yes, that's right. Surprised?
There was silence in the tent, half a sound, and another explosion of broken porcelain.
Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few days, this temper is good......
She could feel the anger of the tsundere prince through the tent, and she only heard him say coldly: "Little mud, tell Master Gu what you know again!" ”
The little mud had already shrunk into the shadows when His Highness dropped the first teacup, trying to blend in with the tabernacle, pretending that he didn't exist, for fear of being affected by His Highness's wrath. Who knows, I still haven't dodged.
He slowly dragged his steps out, and arched his hand at Gu Ziyi: "Master Gu...... On that day, Sister Peony said that she just went to serve breakfast, and when she came back, her mother was gone. It only took a stick of incense before and after, and then His Highness returned......"
Someone outside the tent secretly rejoiced that he was lucky to be fast.
The little mud peeked at His Royal Highness, and didn't dare to continue, feeling that his butt was still hot and painful, and he was still hit by the board when he closed his eyes.
Song Yuanxi glared at him fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that this little bastard was playful and lost his way in the Chu Palace, causing him to look for him for a long time and wasting time, things wouldn't have turned out like this at all! If he had come back one step earlier, would the little peach still be able to run away?
A meal of boards is light!
When he returned, there was still residual warmth in the bed, and the ink of the letter she left had not yet dried, indicating that the person had just left. He immediately chased after him, ordered the gates to be sealed, and searched the whole city. It stands to reason that she shouldn't have had time to get out of the city, so why can't she find anyone after going over and over? Is it really as Gu Ziyi said, people are no longer in Chujing?
And the letter she left behind, it's so angry to think about.
Even if the writing is ugly, what else is "the gentleman is clear, goodbye to the rivers and lakes"? Where did you learn this nonsense! She still wants to settle with him in this life? Dream on!
His hand clenched tightly into a fist under the sleeve of his robe, and his heart was ruthless, this time he found her, he must find a way to make her never leave him again!
Someone eavesdropping outside the tent shuddered for no reason.
"When the king sealed the gates, the princess must still be in the city. If it is really as you said, the person is no longer in Chujing, it must be because you are negligent in defense and you don't know if you let people out! ”
Gu Ziyi: "......"
Not to mention the back of his neck, his entire back is now soaked in cold sweat.
"Have you sent someone to Qingfeng Temple to find it?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen has already sent someone to go, but the disciple said that Niangniang has not gone back."
Song Yuanxi slapped the table hard, his breath was unsteady, and he said angrily: "Hmph, she took her precious jade hairpin away when she left, she must have gone back to find her senior brother!" ”
Xia Taozhi: "......"
Conscience of heaven and earth! She was in a hurry at that time, and touched a hairpin casually, but she didn't pay attention to it at all. Who knew that it was the "Don't Separate" given by the senior brother.
"Have all the people who went out of the city carefully examined it? Appearance, body shape, voice, etc...... Especially the handsome little boy, especially the careful interrogation. If the princess wants to hide from others, she will definitely dress up as a man. ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen has carefully inspected and found nothing unusual."
Song Yuanxi thought for a while, and then asked, "Will there be a carriage or caravan out of the city that day?" ”
Gu Ziyi replied: "Back to Your Highness, only the carriage of the Xiao Mansion went out of the city that day. ”
Song Yuanxi frowned when he heard this, could it be ......
"Who is it from the Xiao Mansion?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, it's the grandson of the Xiao family, Xiao Lianxu."
Xia Taozhi sighed in her heart, it's over......
Song Yuanxi closed his eyes, his heart was already clear, and when he opened his eyes again, a pair of starry eyes had lost their temperature and became cold as frost, and the cicadas were biting.
Well, very good! Little Peach, I really underestimated you for my husband......
First Gu Ziyi, then Luo Fan, and now Xiao Lianxu...... You're pretty good at attracting bees and butterflies to this prince......
Xia Taozhi pricked up her ears and listened, wondering, huh? Why is there no sound? This time I didn't even drop the cup?
I heard a very soft sneer from the tent, treacherous and gloomy, and extremely harsh.
She only felt a cool breath penetrate from the soles of her feet to her head, and her whole body trembled. This laughter is too familiar to her, and the tsundere prince laughs like this every time he wants to calculate people.
I only heard him command in a cold voice: "You go back to Chujing immediately and bring the peony to this king." ”
Gu Ziyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing with the peony girl?" ”
Xia Taozhi was also stunned for a moment, yes, what are you doing with the peony?
Song Yuanxi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the look on his face seemed to be smiling.
"This king thinks that there is a shortage of military doctors in the army."
“……”
For the first time, Gu Ziyi questioned the order of His Royal Highness King Ling. He stammered, "It's still ...... Please think twice, Your Highness...... There are many inconveniences in marching and fighting, and the peony girl is a weak woman, and I am afraid that she will not be able to cope with it...... Moreover, and the battlefield is too dangerous, Wechen is worried that the peony girl ......"
Come on, Childe! You must hold on and fight this dead tsundere to the end!
"Oh? Is it? Song Yuanxi sneered, and his smile became more and more kind: "Since Ziyi is so worried about the safety of the peony, how about this king entrust the peony to you to take care of?" He said and glanced at the little mud again, and said, "...... If you are worried that Peony will not be able to cope with it alone, then please ask Ziyi to bring the begonia with you by the way. This king feels that there is also a shortage of cooks in the army. ”
The little mud shook a little, and there was a sense of foreboding.
Wow, mother, where the hell have you been? If you don't come back, we will all be tortured to death by Your Highness......
For a moment, Xia Taozhi wanted to give up resistance, and went directly to surrender and admit defeat.
But before she could react, a hand was silently stretched out behind him, covering her mouth very quickly, and dragged her away.
“…… What are you doing?! ”
In a small corner of the camp that no one cared about, Xia Taozhi looked at Xiao Lianxu angrily. Before she could finish listening, he caught her here. Moreover, it's scary to come behind it, okay!
Xiao Lianxu looked at her suspiciously: "What are you doing running over?" ”
Aren't you afraid of being caught by His Royal Highness King Ling?
Xia Taozhi held her breath, she didn't want to talk well at all, so she pushed back confidently: "I miss my husband, can't I take a look at it?" ”
Xiao Lianxu was speechless, and there was a feeling of irritability in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't tell what was unhappy, in short, he was very unhappy. was so upset that he blurted out: "No, you are not allowed to go again." ”
"You want to care?"
"If you are captured and returned to the Lingwang Mansion, you will not be able to compete with me, so I must take care of it."
“……”
Wide-eyed and narrow-eyed, she turned her head away in a huff.
"I'm going back to sleep."
Xiao Lianxu followed her silently, annoyed all the way. This Gu Sheng is so annoying, he looks nasty when he walks, he looks like he talks, he looks angry, he hates the hand that touches him, and he looks even more annoying when he eavesdrops outside the tent!
She must have a bad brain, so she would accompany her all the way from Chu Jing to this ravine......
