Chapter Forty-Nine: What She Didn't Know
Tonight is dark and windy, so it's a good time to be a traitor.
The three black shadows galloped silently in the night of Chu Jing, and walked around for half an hour until they came to a small courtyard in the south of the city.
The gate of the courtyard was closed, and there were two big men standing at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, like two stone statues, motionless. Not to mention a human being, even a fly can hardly fly into it.
They didn't dare to get too close, so they hid in a shadowy place and watched secretly.
This small courtyard does look very strange, the guards at the gate are so strict, the situation in the courtyard is still unknown, if the peony is locked up here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fly even if it is inserted......
Gu Ziyi said softly: "Your Highness, Niangniang, Miss Peony should be locked up here." ”
Xia Taozhi didn't think about it, and immediately said, "I'm going to go in and save her!" "Then you have to rush out.
Song Yuanxi grabbed her and said softly: "Wait, someone came out......"
The three of them looked together, and sure enough, as soon as the courtyard door opened, a handsome man in black walked out slowly, stood in the moonlight with his hands and looked around, whispered a few words to the two big men at the door, and then turned around and entered the small courtyard.
It was too dark to see the whole picture of this person, but he felt that there was something familiar between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Gu Ziyi obviously recognized it and blurted out: "Ah, it's ...... him"
"Master Gu recognizes this person?" She hurriedly asked.
Gu Ziyi said: "I recognize, this is the second son of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, and he is also the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xiao Liancheng Xiao." I was an official in the same dynasty as him, and I couldn't be more familiar. ”
Xiao Liancheng?! Why is this name a little familiar, Xia Taozhi thought about it, and a name jumped into her mind, Xiao Lianxu......
No wonder she felt that her eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar, it turned out to be Xiao Lianxu's younger brother. I still remember hearing Xue Cheng say that Xiao Lianxu was not valued by the family because he was a martial arts idiot since he was a child, and he was also neglected. All the hopes of the Xiao family are pinned on the second son of Xiao, and I think it is this second son of Xiao Liancheng......
Gu Ziyi muttered, "How could he ...... here?"
The tsundere prince didn't speak on the side, and at this time he sneered and mocked: "Is Song Yuansheng no one available?" He actually had to bother Xiao Ergongzi to do this kind of rough work. It seems that it is obviously not enough to have a mad dog like Xuanyuan Geng......"
Gu Ziyi: "......" secretly slandered in his heart, His Royal Highness used to be indifferent and silent, cherishing words like gold, but since the wedding, his temperament has changed greatly, his temperament is like a different person, and he has become more and more poisonous......
But that's okay, at least Your Highness isn't as depressed as before.
He glanced at Xia Taozhi beside him with an approving gaze. It seems that the princess has really contributed a lot.
However, the "princess mother" beside him had no idea that she had been secretly recorded, and at the moment she was only thinking about how to go in and rescue people. She thought for a while, reached out and tore off a corner of her clothes, covered her face, and said to the two of you: "One of you is a prince and the other is a waiter, it is not appropriate for anyone to show up, just wait for me here, and I will rescue the peony." ”
Song Yuanxi pulled her back, ripped off the cloth towel on her face, and sighed: "As far as your three-legged cat kung fu, I'm afraid that you will send a person in for nothing, and there will be no return." ”
Xia Taozhi: "......"
Is she really that weak?
Song Yuanxi said: "You stay here, I'll go." ”
Xia Taozhi was stunned: "You go?!" ”
Song Yuanxi nodded: "Yes, it's most appropriate for me to go." This courtyard is too small, if you are not careful and alarm the people inside, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out. Now it's still uncertain whether the peony is really inside, so let me go in and see the situation first. ”
"But you ......"
Seeing that she was so hesitant, a certain tsundere took the opportunity to laugh and said, "What, are you worried about being a husband?" ”
Then, unsurprisingly, he gained a roll of his eyes, "...... You think beautifully! ”
Song Yuanxi was happy in his heart, it was her duplicitous and hard-mouthed appearance that he liked the most, his heart was soft, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub her hair, and said softly: "Good, wait for me here......"
Gu Ziyi was extremely embarrassed on the side, how could he show his affection without saying a word? He coughed lightly and said, "...... Your Highness, otherwise let Wechen go first to explore the way, right? ”
Song Yuanxi put away his smile, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, you wait here, this king will go back and protect the princess." ”
Gu Ziyi had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "Weichen takes the order." ”
The night breeze blew by, and the figure of the tsundere prince flashed, and he swept in from the wall unconsciously.
……
Xia Taozhi stared intently in the direction of the small courtyard, waiting anxiously, while pricking up her ears to listen to the movement in the courtyard.
It was silent, there was no commotion or noise, or ...... The sound of a fight was heard. This shows that there has been no change in the courtyard yet, and the tsundere prince has not been discovered yet.
Just as she was listening attentively, she heard Gu Ziyi calling her softly from the side.
"Mother's ......"
She turned her head and found that Gu Ziyi's expression was a little contradictory, as if she had something to say, and as if she was struggling with something.
"Master Gu, what's the matter?"
Gu Ziyi was entangled for a while, and said: "Wei Chen has a few words that I don't know if I should say or not......
She was a little speechless, when did Childe become a mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Since that's all said, let's talk about it! She is most afraid of people talking only half of the time......
"Master Gu, please speak."
Gu Ziyi seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "Niangniang actually misunderstood His Highness, His Highness was ...... at that time In fact, I never thought of hurting my mother. ”
Xia Taozhi's eyes flashed, she didn't expect Gu Ziyi to suddenly talk about this. This...... She didn't think about whether she wanted to listen to it......
But once Gu Ziyi opened his mouth, he obviously had no intention of stopping, so he simply said it all in one go.
"His Royal Highness actually knew early on that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be unfavorable to him when he picked up the stars, and he was poisoned by Gu and lost his internal strength and had no power to fight back, if he didn't want to resist, he could only sit and wait for death. Therefore, His Royal Highness decided to set up a game that can not only detoxify but also counterattack. Originally, he just needed someone to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Prince, originally His Royal Highness wanted to make Weichen disguised, but with Weichen's martial arts, his identity would definitely be exposed as soon as he made a move. Therefore, he asked Niangniang to pretend to be Gu Sheng to confuse the public, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could relax his vigilance. But from beginning to end, His Royal Highness never thought of asking Niangniang to be in danger, every route that Niangniang took on Chonglou Mountain was repeatedly decided by His Royal Highness, and His Highness personally walked several times in order to ensure that there was no danger. Every link also repeatedly confirmed with Weichen whether Niangniang would be injured, whether she would encounter danger, and so on...... Weichen could see that His Royal Highness cared about Niangniang's ......"
When Gu Ziyi said this, he sighed with emotion: "...... If it were to follow the route set by His Royal Highness, Niangniang would have climbed along the cliff directly to a safe cave behind the Star Picking Platform, far away from Xue Cheng, Xiao Lianxu and Xuanyuan Geng. Who knows......"
Who knows, there were still many accidents, so that she was seriously injured in the end, and she went to the star picking platform and witnessed everything.
Does she hate? Of course she hated, she was so seriously injured that she almost lost half her life, but in the end she found that she was used as a chess piece, and was deceived from beginning to end, how could she not be angry and sad, not sad and disappointed?
But...... She never knew that there were so many twists and turns......
The tsundere prince never said it......
She remembered that he had come to open a small stove for her at night, and told her that no matter what, let her not be reckless, and that it was important to save her life...... At that time, was he sincere?
Is it......
Gu Ziyi arched his hand at her and said, "These words shouldn't have been said by Weichen, Weichen knew that he had lost his words...... But if Weichen is afraid that if he doesn't say it, Niangniang will never know, and he will never forgive His Highness in his heart......"
“……”
Xia Taozhi was speechless in a daze, feeling as if her throat was blocked by something, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart at the moment.
Will you ever forgive him?
She did think that in the nightmares that Qingfeng Guan tossed and turned one after another, every time she dreamed back at midnight, she swore fiercely that she would never see this person again in her life, and never forgive him......
But at this moment, she admitted that Gu Ziyi's words fell into her heart like many pieces of broken jade, causing countless ripples, spreading in circles, with mottled circles of light, splashing water.
I didn't want to hear it, but I listened to it without missing a word......
I will never forgive again, but there is a corner in my heart that has long been soft and warm.
What should she do......
Suddenly, there was a soft sound of clothes flying above their heads, and the figure in front of them flashed, and they saw the tsundere prince turn over and fall steadily in front of them.
Xia Taozhi came back to her senses, hurriedly threw aside those thoughts in her heart, and asked anxiously, "Is the peony in it?" Why didn't you bring her out? Is she okay? ”
A certain tsundere glanced at her resentfully, "Why don't you ask me if I'm okay?" Aren't you afraid that I'll get caught and beaten? Not worried about me at all......"
Xia Taozhi: "...... do you look like you're in trouble?" If you don't beat others, you'll be Amitabha.
Gu Ziyi asked, "Your Highness, is Miss Peony inside?" ”
Song Yuanxi said: "Inside, I saw her." ”
"Then why didn't you get her out?" Xia Taozhi was very puzzled, with the martial arts of the tsundere prince, it was easy to bring out the peony.
Unexpectedly, the tsundere prince said: "There is no need to save her, let's go back to the house and wait." ”
Xia Taozhi was inexplicable, "Why?" ”
The tsundere prince chuckled lightly and said, "This king promises that within three days, Song Yuansheng will be ordered to obediently send your personal maid back to the Lingwang Mansion and return to Zhao." ”
