355. Missing
"If I don't let go, will the prince kill me first?" Xi Yao asked rhetorically.
Huo Chen's eyes narrowed dangerously: "This king will kill you first." ”
Xi Yao bit her lip, the fishy sweet juice spread between her teeth in her mouth, and the blood in her chest surged beyond control.
She finally understood that she was worthless, and she was nothing in Huo Chen's eyes.
But why, why was Mu Wanqing able to capture Huo Chen's heart so easily, so that Huo Chen only saw her as a woman.
Slowly, she lowered the dagger.
At the same time, her heart was broken.
She walked forward, like something was draining from her body.
She removed all the hairpins and hairpins from her bun one by one, and threw them on the ground as she walked. Since this man won't love her anymore, then why would she do things she doesn't like. She always felt that the Central Plains woman's dress was too weak.
But who understood her mood at the moment, she felt very sore and sore, and there was a pain like convulsions, which began to spread like a snake, as if it was going to torture her to death.
Mu Wanqing was still apprehensive, and watched Xi Yao slowly leave, before turning back to look at Huo Chen: "What did you tell her?" ”
Huo Chen put away his sword, and pulled Mu Wanqing into the house, and said as he walked: "It's nothing, I just want her to write a letter to Wolf Ke, but she doesn't want to, so naturally I won't force her." ”
Mu Wanqing was a little melancholy, speaking of this matter, it had been a few days, and the relationship between Huo Chen and Emperor Qi Wen was also extremely stiff.
In order to ensure Mu Wanqing's safety, the guards of the palace have increased their vigilance, and even sent additional people to guard the Hibiscus Garden, just for fear that Mu Wanqing would have an accident.
She pondered for a while before she said, "Since she has come this far, she must have made up her mind, how could she give up because of your words." ”
"She asked me to marry her under the pretext of war that day, and she probably thought I would agree, but this time, I won't back down." Huo Chen sat down, a trace of pain flashing in his expression.
Mu Wanqing noticed it carefully, thinking that Huo Chen's knee hurt again.
She hurriedly took out the plaster, and she came today because she wanted to deliver this.
"It looks worse than I thought." Mu Wanqing squatted down, carefully rolled up Huo Chen's pants, and saw that there was still a bruise on her knees.
Kneeling under the sun for so long, of course, will be unbearable.
Mu Wanqing's heart ached, this was still the plaster she made overnight, she carefully applied it to Huo Chen, and said, "Applying it externally and taking it internally, it should get better soon." ”
Huo Chen didn't have the heart to care about this, he hadn't been going to the court for many days, and now there was a turmoil in the court, and the ministers were just sitting on the mountain and watching the fire. It's a shame that he didn't hand over most of the military power in the first place, otherwise he would have sighed now.
The plaster was soaked in the cold, Huo Chen closed his eyes comfortably, and said softly: "It probably seems that the irritability has been delayed recently." ”
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, indeed, Huo Chen has been too busy recently, he talks about business with Chu Qing every day, and sometimes he even flips through books until dawn, Mu Wanqing has read them, they are all military books, it seems that Huo Chen is ready to fight this battle.
She was secretly distracted, begging only that none of this would happen.
After giving Huo Chen the medicine, she hurried to find Xi Yao, maybe her plea would be useful.
When she came to Yishui Courtyard, only Xi Yao's personal maid was there.
As soon as Su Tian saw Mu Wanqing, his eyes were immediately full of hostility, and he said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Mu Wanqing looked left and right and asked, "Where is your princess?" ”
Su Qian frowned slightly, and stopped what he was doing: "The princess went to Tonghuaju to deliver medicine to the prince, what is it that you are here to find someone?" ”
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Could it be that she hasn't come back yet?" ”
"Will this medicine delivery matter be okay for a while?" Su Tian snorted coldly, she already thought in her heart, I am afraid that Huo Chen was moved by Xi Yao, so she will stay in Tonghua for a long time.
Mu Wanqing knew that Xi Yao had already left Tonghua Residence, so where did Xi Yao go.
She didn't care about Su Tian, so she hurriedly went to find Gui Xin, and under Gui Xin's inquiry, she learned that Xi Yao had just left the house.
Mu Wanqing was a little uneasy, and waited until it was dark, and she didn't see Xiyao return home.
Huo Chen knew, and his expression was faint: "I'm afraid this is some kind of temper, I guess I'll be back soon." ”
Mu Wanqing was gloomy, and Xi Yao was probably heartbroken.
After a while, Huo Chen said again: "Send someone to find her, she is also unfamiliar with life here." ”
Mu Wanqing nodded, this is the only way now, just pray that something will happen to Xi Yao.
It's just that in the next few days, there is still no news of Xiyao, but Huo Chen's knee has improved a lot, and he doesn't feel pain after standing for a long time. Huo Chen, who had always been indifferent, knew that Xi Yao had not returned home, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Lord, someone saw that the princess was out of the city." Chu Qing inquired about the news and came back to report.
Huo Chen frowned, could it be that Xi Yao had already decided to go back to the Wolf Country?
"Look along the road and keep an eye on the movements of the wolf country at any time." Huo Chen commanded in a low voice.
Chu Qing received the order and retreated.
Soon, the news of Xi Yao's disappearance also spread, and the envoy from the wolf country still stayed in the capital, so he immediately wrote to inform Wolf Ke, and at the same time rushed to King Zhuang's mansion.
There have been no guests visiting the palace for a long time, but the people did not panic, and presented a cup of famous tea to the envoy of the wolf country, and served a few small pastries.
Su Tian was crying behind the envoy, saying in the dialect of the wolf country, Xi Yao had suffered a lot of grievances in the palace.
The envoy's face became darker and darker, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
"Su Tian, you've said a lot, do you want to take a sip of tea?" Huo Chen's face was cold, and he stared at Su Tian and said.
Su Tian's body trembled, and he glanced at Huo Chen in horror, not daring to say any more.
The envoy of the wolf kingdom snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "Our princess is missing, what is the prince going to do?" ”
"This king has already sent someone to find her, and it is estimated that she has also lost her temper and returned to the wolf country." Huo Chen said lightly, he sat on the main seat, and his momentum was definitely not to be underestimated.
"It's hard to know if the princess is safe!" The envoy of the wolf country was already a little angry, "The princess has been wronged in the palace, this is not counted for the time being, but if something happens, this is not something that the prince can afford!" ”
It was a strong man who was eight feet tall, with a loud voice and an imposing momentum that approached Huo Chen.
Huo Chen glanced at him indifferently: "It's useless to be anxious now, this king has already sent people to find it." If it is really difficult to rest assured, it is better to go back to the wolf country first, and let the wolf king also send someone to find it. ”
