Chapter Forty-Four: The Night Guest

Xiao Huang had a loud alarm in his heart, but his face was indifferent, "Your Excellency's behavior is not very good. ”

"Oh? Do you know what happens to those who try to teach this seat a lesson? ”

"Your Excellency said that you laughed, the little girl had no other intentions, just a kind reminder to Your Excellency." Xiao Huang was calm, but secretly he didn't dare to relax for half a minute.

Even Xiao Xiang couldn't notice the existence of this person, so in terms of skills alone, she was even less sure that she would get out smoothly.

I hope that Xiaoxiang girl can understand the hint she just gave......

It's just that how did she seem to hear this person's voice somewhere?

While thinking about it, the wind shadow walked by, bringing up the rows of red curtains in front of the pillars, swaying slowly in the faint yellow candlelight, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere to such a quiet night.

Looking up, a man dressed in black and covered with a silver mask suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

It turned out to be him, Xiao Huang couldn't help but be a little surprised, I don't know if it was because the tears flowed too suddenly when I first met, or because the lights that night were extraordinarily blinding...... The figure was silent, remaining in her memory, even if it was not deliberate, but the occasional memories were still so clear.

"You want to die?!" Seeing her looking at herself in a daze, Gong Liqian suddenly felt disgusted.

"Huh?" Realizing that the other party was talking to him, Xiao Huang immediately came back to his senses from his stunnedness, "Life is the foundation of all activities, and human beings are the first spirits, and the same should be true. ”

The implication is, how can I want to die if I live well?

That serious attitude is no less serious than when studying an academic.

Gong Li's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, did she really not understand, or was she pretending to be confused?

"You found this seat early in the morning?" His fingertips moved slightly, and if that was the case, then the woman would not be able to keep it anyway.

Xiao Huang smiled and said, "Your Excellency can't help but look down on the little girl, in fact, Your Excellency's traces were not discovered by me, but ...... You have informed us yourself. ”

"Huh?"

She leaned slightly sideways, pointed to the Buddha statue standing on the table, and motioned, "Your Excellency, you might as well take a look here, maybe you will understand what I mean." ”

Gong Liyu saw at a glance that there was nothing on the Buddha's body except for the shadow of a curtain fluttering from side to side.

So...... She knew about my existence through the shadow of the candlelight on the Buddha statue?

Oh, I see...... When his mind was about to move, there was a sudden cramping pain in his left chest, and his body shook slightly, damn it, the time limit of the effect of the pill was getting shorter and shorter.

But in an instant, there was a sweet smell floating under the tip of his nose, Xiao Huang frowned lightly, "What smell?" It seems to be ......"

Before the words fell, the movement of a heavy object falling to the ground startled her to turn around quickly, and before she had time to think about it, the picture of the man on one knee and his right hand covering his chest suddenly came into view.

Confused, she took the burning incense candle on the desk and wanted to step forward.

"Stop! What do you want to do? ”

"You're hurt?" This smell is clearly the smell of blood.

"Why, you want to kill this seat too?" The voice becomes deeper with pain.

But the increasingly cold gaze made Xiao Huang not doubt at all - even when his life was at stake, the person in front of him could annihilate his enemy first.

"Your Excellency is too worried, the little girl is not half interested in killing Your Excellency." Xiao Huang stopped one step away from him, "It's not ......"

"Get out." Seeing the woman gradually approaching her, Gong Liqian subconsciously frowned.

"Sorry, no." Xiao Huang squatted down and put the candlestick on the ground, then she untied the tight cloth on her calf and took out a small porcelain bottle, "This contains pain-relieving pills, which can help your excellency relieve some pain." ”

"Fuck off, don't let me say it a third time." Gong Liyu closed her eyes lightly and leaned on the column behind her to breathe secretly.

Hearing this, Xiao Huang couldn't help but be stunned, yes, what does other people's lives have to do with her, anyway, she has never had that thing in her heart, isn't it?

But at the moment of getting up, I saw beads of sweat accumulating on Gong Li's jaw and unusually pale lips...... She suddenly felt a nameless fire slowly rising in her heart, "Your Excellency's body is not made of iron?" ”

Fiddling with the wick a few times, "But...... If Your Excellency continues to hide illness and avoid medical treatment, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it now. ”

It's good, you won't let me cure it, will you? Then I have to cure it!

"What do you mean?" In luck, a sense of paralysis swept through her body, Gong Liyu looked startled, and slapped the ground violently.

Between the flicks of his wrists, he tightly grabbed Xiao Huang's neck, "Say, what did you do to this seat?!" You ......"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of flesh and stone slab colliding sounded in the ancestral hall again, but this time it was Xiao Huang's buttocks.

"It's a ...... of sunken"

Pushing the man who fainted on top of him, Xiao Huang really wanted to roll his eyes and faint, and he had to pull a cushion even when he fell to the ground, so he really didn't suffer at all.

After recovering her strength, she carefully turned Gong Liyu over, then got up and patted the dust on her clothes.

Looking down at the person who was put down by anesthetic incense at his feet, Xiao Huang sighed lightly, and then moved the candlestick on the ground to his side in resignation, and looked at it carefully by the candlelight.

When she got closer, she found that the hem of Gong Li's robe was slightly wet, and the edge of her boots was still stained with a jagged grass tip, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from it.

And, if she remembered correctly, he was covering his left chest just now, so what about the blood oozing from the black clothes on his right shoulder?

Shouldn't the first reaction of a person in a situation of unbearable pain be the source of pain?

Although she was a little puzzled, this was automatically ignored by Xiao Huang, not because of her lack of curiosity, but because it had nothing to do with her.

But the next question stumped her.

Although this man's clothing style is much simpler than that of a woman, it doesn't mean that she will unravel men's clothes, not to mention that the men's clothes she occasionally wears have been altered, so ......

——————————

I don't know how long it will be, and there will be a sudden knock on the door under the dim sky, which makes the sleeping people wake up suddenly.

Seeing the table in front of her, Xiao Huang was extremely confused, wasn't she reading, why did she fall asleep on it?

And the time that has passed her sleep is not too short, and the soreness and numbness in her arms and the marks of being pressed out of the books are all reminding her of this fact.

By the way, I vaguely remember that someone was knocking on the door just now...... Oh no, the man is still lying on the ground!

Thinking of this, Xiao Huang hurriedly turned his head to look, but in addition to a lonely futon lying on the ground, there was still a trace of that person.

After not seeing the people in the house for a long time, Ruofeng knocked on the door knocker twice again, "Miss, the slave is Ruofeng." ”

"Squeak", the door opened from the inside, Xiao Huang covered his lips with his hand, yawned delicately, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sister Xiaoxiang asked the slave maid to bring supper to the young lady."

"No need, Daddy knows it's time to punish Miss Ben again, you go down."

"But the young lady hasn't eaten for almost a day, so she can't hurt her body if she goes on like this? Miss rest assured, no one will see it when the slave and maid come. ”

Staring at the food box that Ruofeng was holding in his hand, after hesitating for a long time, Xiao Huang seemed to have made some major determination, "Okay, you come in quickly, don't let people see it." ”

General's Mansion, Nuan Ying Pavilion.

The sweeping maids in the courtyard gathered together in twos and threes, and whispered: "What's the matter with the general and his wife?" ”

"Then who knows? Anyway, I've never seen the general blush at his wife. ”

"Yes, Madame seems to have been ...... since dinner."

"Do you little hooves want to be sold into the kiln? The affairs of the master's family are also something you can discuss?! ”

An angry cry behind him frightened several people to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, "Even Mama forgive your sins!" Slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids will not dare anymore. ”

"Humph! Keep your mouth shut, and those who are slaves must keep their duties as slaves. Even Mama said sternly: "What are you still doing here, get out!" ”

"Yes, slaves and maidservants are leaving, and they are leaving." Several people picked up brooms on the ground and ran in a hurry.

Seeing this, Mama Lian glanced at the Nuanying Pavilion with the door closed, shook her head, and then closed the gate of the outer courtyard and went out, only the lights in the Nuanying Pavilion were still not extinguished......

The sound of the porcelain vase shattering suddenly sounded, and then the helpless voice of Jimo Liyun came out from afar, "...... How can a husband not know that Xiao Er has good intentions, but madam, Xiao Er is indeed naughty this time, and she can reveal the emperor list at will? ”

"But even so, then Xiao Er is also considered meritorious this time, and even the holy decree is said so, isn't it?"

"Madam, how did you become so unreasonable, the emperor does not punish him, that is my emperor's mercy, the emperor's grace! Therefore, Xiao Er should be grounded and nurture her temperament and accept her arbitrary and reckless temperament. ”

"I'm unreasonable?! Yes, I don't distinguish between right and wrong, and I don't argue between right and wrong! How is Xiao Er saying ......"

"Madame doesn't need to say much, no matter what, this month's confinement cannot be less than half an hour, and no one is allowed to care! It is necessary to let the wicked girl reflect on herself, lest she think that she will not know the height of the sky after learning a little fur art. ”

"The general is so majestic, since this is the case, then please send the general to the ancestral hall even with me, a mother!"

Before the man could speak again, there was another chaotic sound in the Nuan Ying Pavilion, masking the footsteps of shoes on the ground outside the openwork window.

Inside the house, Jimo Liyun carefully rescued a vase, "Okay, madam, don't fall." "The gentle words are the same as before.

Lian Huaying stopped and sighed: "Alas, this acting is more tiring than fighting, if it weren't for Xiao Er's desire to lure the snake out of the hole, I really want to move my muscles and bones." ”

"Yes, Madame, have worked hard, come, have a glass of water." Jimo Liyun couldn't help but smile.

"Husband, you still laugh at me, but it's just ......"

"What's wrong?"

Lian Huaying took the water cup and put it on the coffee table again, "Although Xiao Er has only returned to Beijing not long ago, and he rarely shows up, but the number of people coming and going at the East City Gate that day is unknown, and I am worried about ......."

"Yes, not to mention that the eleventh prince has won the emperor's favor, and a little wind and grass will attract attention, but I am afraid that Xiao Er will cause some unnecessary trouble to himself this time." Jimo Liyun is also tightly locked.

"The whirlpool in this imperial power, the more we dodge, the more we are involved in it, and now it involves Xiao'er and Xuan'er, I ......"

"Madame, don't worry too much, aren't we still here? What's more, the husband believes that Xiao'er is not as weak as we imagined, and the child ...... It's grown up in places we can't even take care of. I can't tell whether it's more comforting or worrying.

Seeing the thoughtful look of the person in front of him, Lian Huaying couldn't help but think of what Xiao Huang said on the way back to his house during the day.

……

"Xiao Er does understand some medical theories, which was taught by Dr. Xu, because I was afraid that you would not agree, so I hid it from my father." In the carriage, she hung her head like a child who had done something wrong.

“…… The matter of treating the eleventh prince, presumably the people sent by Concubine Qi to report to the general's mansion have told you in detail, Xiao Er knows that this move is reckless, but every day watching her father and mother frown about her younger brother's affairs and be tired, Xiao Er can't be indifferent. ”

"Now that it's all happening, we can't prevent it from happening, so it's imperative to control the process and not make it worse."

Xiao Huang raised her eyes, revealing the cunning in her eyes, "Father, mother, Xiao Er needs your help to build a play......

Coming back to his senses, looking at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Lian Huaying's eyes flashed with depth, "This thing that is easy to hurt your hands, you have to be careful when you clean it up." ”
