Chapter Forty-Eight: Escape from the Palace
The heavy snow was still unscrupulous, and Song Lingxi swayed out of Changle Palace like a candle in the wind, stepped on the stone road full of snow and came to Changmen, kneeling on the snow. The tears on her face quickly condensed into Xiaoice beads in the wind and snow, and the snow under her knees slowly soaked her skirt after her body temperature melted, and the biting cold soon spread throughout her body.
An Yuexiang smiled at the corner of her mouth and raised her arrogant head and came to Song Lingxi: "I really didn't expect that the arrogant and domineering Princess Qi in the past would have today, the queen asked me to tell you, if you dare to be lazy and not kneel, she will definitely not spare you, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, just now the queen mother has said that she will make me a concubine after I give birth to a son for the prince, don't cry, it's useless for you to pretend to be pitiful in front of me, it's no wonder for me, if you want to blame, blame your damn father, You're a chicken that can't lay eggs, you're destined to be trampled under my feet for the rest of your life, hahahahaha"
Song Lingxi tugged at the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, she tried hard to control her tears, it turned out that An Yuexiang was really pregnant, before Chu Yiyun left, An Yuexiang only entered the house for a few days, and those days were the days when Chu Yixing had an accident, why was she pregnant? She suddenly doubted Chu Yiyun's love, could it be that what he said was false, maybe men are the same at all, as long as it is a woman, she will not refuse.
Time is lost little by little, Song Lingxi, who has been in the palace for more than an hour, still hasn't come out, and the peony waiting outside slowly becomes anxious: "Furong, why haven't you come out yet, will the queen really punish her, she is still sick on such a cold day?"
Fleur replied: "Yes, I'm also so worried about Niangniang, why don't you go to Princess Xiang and let her enter the palace to see Niangniang, if the queen blames our mother, Princess Xiang can also help her say good things"
"Okay, I'll go."
Peony was just about to get into the carriage, and Furong stopped her again: "Wait a minute, Peony, Princess Xiang is about to give birth, let's go find His Royal Highness King Yue, everyone in His Royal Highness King Yue's house knows me." ”
An hour later, King Yue's carriage came to the palace gate, and not only King Yue came, but also Princess Yue followed.
The long gate is the only way to enter the Changle Palace, when Chu Yifei and his wife passed through the long gate, they saw that Song Lingxi, who was kneeling in the snow in the wind and snow, was already covered with snowflakes, it is not difficult to imagine that she had been kneeling here for a long time, Chu Yifei hurriedly stepped forward and took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Song Lingxi, Xiao Yun'er held Song Lingxi's cold hands and rubbed and blew: "Lingxi, are you okay, what's going on, how can you kneel here?" ”
Song Lingxi, who was so cold that he was almost speechless, replied in a weak voice: "Three...... Elder brother........ Third sister-in-law,...... I..... I'm fine."
Chu Yifei got up and said, "I'll go to find my mother, you stay here to accompany your younger siblings."
Song Lingxi was already weak, and now she was punished to kneel in the snow, this time even Chu Yifei felt that the queen had done a little too much, no matter what Song Lingxi did wrong, she shouldn't have targeted her like this when Chu Yiyun was not in Beijing.
It was a cold and snowy place outside, and the Changle Palace with a brazier was very warm, Chu Yifei looked at An Yuexiang who was pretentious in front of the queen and knew that this time it must be her ghost: "Erchen has seen the queen mother"
"Hurry up, why is Fei'er here? Is there still snow outside? ”
"The queen mother really doesn't hear anything outside the window? The wind and snow have not stopped for ten consecutive days, and you don't know, so does the queen mother remember that there is still a person kneeling outside the long door? ”
"You're talking about Lingxi, she made a mistake, and I just punished her a little."
"With such a big snowstorm, can you let a sick weak woman kneel in the snow for almost two hours? The queen mother should not forget that the reason why the third brother went to the battlefield was all for the younger siblings, you should think about it carefully, if the third brother knew that you treated his younger siblings like this, what would he think? If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid you'll get killed."
"There is.... Is it that serious? ”
Chu Yifei strode to the window and opened a row of windows and doors, the wind and snow outside the window instantly extinguished the open flame in the brazier, and the biting cold wind made the queen sigh: "Fei'er, what are you doing here?" Cover the doors and windows."
Chu Yifei asked, "Did you say it was serious?" ”
"Okay, you let her go back, forget it this time"
Chu Yifei turned around and strode away from Changle Palace, and only said after going out: "Erchen thanked his mother for the third brother."
When Chu Yifei returned to Changmen again, Song Lingxi had already leaned on Xiao Yun'er's arms and fainted.
After this toss, Song Lingxi's body became weaker, this time she was really sick and completely different from the time when she had an awkward relationship with Chu Yiyun, this time she changed from a fierce tiger girl to a real weak sick seedling.
After Song Lingxi fainted, she had a long and real nightmare, in which Chu Yiyun killed her father, her brother killed Chu Yiyun, and finally Luo Zhicheng killed her brother again, she watched them one by one in a pool of blood but couldn't shout at them, which made her wake up from the crying. Isn't this dream a portrayal of reality?
Peony, who was on duty at night, heard Song Lingxi's crying and hurriedly turned over and got up: "Miss, what's wrong with you, Miss"
Song Lingxi lifted the curtain and walked out of bed: "Peony quickly pack up your things, let's leave the palace before dawn"
"Why? Where are we going, miss? ”
"Go to the border"
"The border pass is extremely bitter and cold, can your body bear it?"
"I have to go if I can't bear it,,, cough cough, I can't watch my father and the prince fight on the battlefield and I don't do anything, I must stop them"
"But the prince ........"
Song Lingxi didn't speak yet, but she just thought of Chu Yiyun and shed tears again, now that An Yuexiang is pregnant, she thinks that maybe the palace really has no place for her: "Lord Wang....... He should have his life, he shouldn't be tied up by me, you help me prepare pen and paper first"
Song Lingxi did not say anything on the letter she left to Chu Yiyun, but only left Li Shangyin's poem "Jin Se" on the letterhead, which is enough to represent her mood at the moment.
"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian. Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring. There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. Can this be recalled? It's just that it was already clear at the time."
After dawn, Song Lingxi took the peony and prepared to go out of the city to the border, and he never wanted to be stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, but this person's attitude was quite kind, and he did not deliberately make things difficult because of Song Lingxi's special identity: "I have seen Princess Qi"
"Since you know that I am the princess of Qi, why do you want to stop me?"
"I'm sorry Princess, you can't go out of town"
"Why?"
"This question...... The princess should know better than the villain."
