Chapter 2: The Setting Sunset
Under the sky, the endless mountain peaks constitute a green ocean, want to go to the other side of the mountains and seas, see the pear blossoms in full bloom, enjoy the sunset, listen to the birdsong tactfully, smell the fragrance of the flowers of the four seasons, the sunset lotus step lightly, one foot into the endless abyss.
In the abyss, the queen mother looked at herself with a smile, the blood spilling from the corners of her eyes and mouth had long since dried up, but she did not hide her beautiful face.
"Queen Mother......" Luo Xi muttered, lifting the hem of her skirt and chasing after her, but it was always difficult to reach.
Queen Yan's figure gradually faded away, and the old King Yan didn't know when he appeared behind Luo Xi.
"You know how to play, you are so willful, how to lead the country."
Hearing the voice of the old Yan King, Luo Xi was ecstatic, and did not care about the old Yan King's sharp questioning, turned around suddenly, but sat down on the ground in fright.
Lao Yan Wang only had some flesh attached to his neck, his eyes were purple, and he tilted his head and asked, "You have made me what I am now, I am satisfied!" Are you satisfied!? ”
Luoxi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, tears gushed out of her eyes, and she shook her head desperately.
As soon as the picture turned, a young Taoist priest stood under the pear tree, the petals fell on his forehead, blending with his full head of silver hair, his face was playful, as if he saw something interesting, and said lightly, "Since you are unwilling, then why don't you go for it?" ”
Luo Xi looked at the Taoist priest with a childish face stupidly, and in the next second, a petal fell on her shoulder, as if it had bitten her, it hurt and itched, and she only heard the familiar voice in her ears, calling from far and near, "Your Highness, Your Highness." ”
The strong light pierced Luoxi's eyes, she subconsciously raised her hand to block the light, but found that her hands were firmly fixed on a woman's chest, soft and warm, almost too late to think about it, Luoxi's fingers moved unconsciously, causing Yaoyao to blush, jumped up, and said angrily, "Your Highness."
**
Ordinary people are thirsty after a long sleep, and when Mu Yutao stepped into the door, he didn't know if the princess had already drunk water, so he heard an unbearable swear word, and he was rarely stunned for a moment. In the blink of an eye, General Qin, who had also heard the news, had no loss of joy on his face, as if he hadn't heard it, and stepped over him, and couldn't help but suspect that he had heard it wrong.
Qin Luohe said, "Your Highness, you are awake, you can frighten Weichen in the past few days, but you can scold people when you hear it, I think it's Hongfu Qitian"
Forehead......
Princess Luoxi seemed to be a little confused, just a subconscious reflection, and forced her spirit, "Let the two generals bother, it was a small injury, but I was weak and slept for a few more days." ”
"The princess is recuperating with peace of mind, the minister has reported the attack to the palace, and has not received a reply from my king for the time being, and needs to stay here for more time, General Mu has transferred the troops of the surrounding towns to guard Chengxian, please rest assured" Mu Yutao lowered his head, and could not see Luoxi's slightly raised eyebrows, only heard a wail "Yan Yan ......"
"Princess, please mourn, Miss Yan Yan is originally from Chu State, she was rescued by the princess when she went to Yan Kingdom, and she has been clothed and fed for decades, and now she can be regarded as a favor." Qin Luohe persuaded, but he said it too smoothly, as if he had prepared it in advance, and he didn't feel the slightest sadness.
However, this did not affect the sorrow of the setting sun, "This palace knows that this palace is just a ......, she has followed this ......palace since she was a child" tears couldn't stop staying, pieces of dripping on the side, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly comforted "Your Highness, take care of your body......"
"Your Highness, don't cry and break your body"
"Your Highness, Yan Yan must not want you to be so sad for her like this......"
After a long time, Princess Luoxi seemed to realize that she was a little rude, and forced herself to sob, "Her ...... What about her body? ”
"The princess can rest assured, the minister has transported the female official Yan back to her hometown and ordered someone to bury her." Luoxi woke up from a serious illness, exhausted, cried for a while, and then became a little sleepy, and said, "You two...... Go down, the main palace will also rest. ”
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Luo Xi restrained his expression, as if he had changed into a different person. At this time, she was still sick, her face was as pale as drawing paper, but her eyes were firm and sharp. She asked, "What about Yan Yan?" ”
Yaoyao replied, "It's already gone," licking her lips, and added, "No one doubted it." ”
"Can I get to Chu City before Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"Yes."
Luo Xi nodded tiredly and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep first, and wake me up immediately if something happens." ”
……
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chengxian County has more festive atmosphere, and the streets and alleys are more lively. Looking at the lively scene on the street, Princess Luoxi endured the pain and got out of bed, and took Mu Yutao to take herself out for a walk.
At the same time, General Qin received an urgent document from Yan State, the content is unknown, only that General Qin sighed after reading the document and broke a set of tea sets.
Princess Luoxi didn't care at all, and asked Mu Yutao about the customs and habits of Chu on August 15, thinking about how to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival among the Chu people.
Mu Yutao, who was annoyed, was very helpless, and he couldn't really take the princess to the street to play, so he had to buy a lot of gadgets unique to the Chu State, among which there was a bamboo whistle called "Qiu Ming", which Luo Xi liked very much.
Mu Yutao saw that she liked this kind of whistle so much, and sent someone to buy a lot of it for Luoxi, and Luoxi gave it to her palace maids, most of the palace maids were girls, and their hearts were lively, and the autumn whistles in the post house came and went, making them even more noisy, which made Mu Yutao regret it greatly.
On the 15th day of August, the princess of the sunset dressed up and appeared on the city wall of Chengxian County to live up to expectations, called to accept the worship of the people, but in fact, she joined in the fun, watching the residents of the city in a daze, and stood for a long time.
In the dead of night, Mu Yutao just lay down and saw a faint fire outside the window, pushed open the window to see, it was the sunset that should have rested a long time ago, different from the previous smile, rare to show a sad face, although it is the south, although it is August, the night is a little cold, the princess is only wearing a single dress, a person squatting under the corner of the wall secretly burning something, focused and attentive, and usually judged the two of them, Mu Yutao was afraid that the evening would be lost, so he followed out.
"I'm a princess, I can't burn paper for civilians outside the royal family, I can only give her less gadgets, and I have to be secret, I can't be discovered, she has no father and no mother, she grew up with me since she was a child, but after she died, she didn't even have a person to burn paper, isn't it very pitiful?" Mu Yutao approached the princess and found that she had burned the gadgets she had given to the princess.
"Princess......, Yan Yan has the thoughts of a princess, presumably Jiuquan must be very comforting."
"Comfort" I don't know why, after Luo Xi repeated this sentence, she stopped talking, Mu Yutao stood behind her, and suddenly remembered that her sister also likes these gadgets very much, especially Qiu Ming, every August 15 will beg to buy it and take it to the palace, but her father cultivated her sister according to the queen's requirements, and she is dignified and generous with a smile and a smile, and even her coquettishness is faint, which is as delicate and lively as Luo Xi.
The cold voice sounded again, there were no ups and downs, but the chill in the words made people tremble, "General, can you find out who wants to harm this palace?" ”
Mu Yutao replied, "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it was found that it was just a group of bandits who fell into the grass, intending to rob." ”
The breeze swept by, rolled up a little unextinguished spark, brought a little red, and finally disappeared into the night......
