Chapter 4 Two Choices
There are no windows in the dark room, and candles are lit instead of warm sun, Xiyao doesn't know the length of time, and only judges the black sky and day by the number of times she comes to bring water and food. However, isolation is not completely without benefits, and the time spent alone has made Xi Yao figure it out a lot and accept a lot.
The moment the two jade pendants merged, she crossed here, and if she wanted to travel back, the way was nothing more than to find these two jade pendants, maybe she would be able to go back after collecting the two jade pendants again?
The otherworldly traveler was no different from a newborn baby in the modern world, she looked at the icicles that imprisoned her, and remembered the artifact technique used by Chu Sheng's palm, this place must be a fantasy and magical world. The baby can still rely on her parents to grow up, but what about her? The only person she knows in another world is Chu Sheng...
Xi Yao sighed, but heard the sound of stone slabs moving from the roof of the dark room. This movement is not Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng has never been slow or sick, and there is no need to move the slate so hard, she frowned, and immediately became vigilant.
The slate moved away, the bright sun sprinkled a piece, and the face of a delicate and dignified man poked down from above, smiling like this warm sun, "Little girl, do you remember me?"
Xi Yao was stunned, she had never seen this face, but she felt that the man's bright voice was very familiar.
Seeing Xi Yao's confused face, the man couldn't help but smile again, "I guess it's so." He rolled over, agile and light, and clapped his hands after landing on the ground, "I went hunting on the outskirts of the city that day, and saw you washed up by the river, covered in wounds, if I hadn't rescued you, I'm afraid you would have been the soul of the Wei family's son." In that case, you have to call me a gracious man. ”
"Then may I ask who is Engong's name and where does he live?" said Xi Yao, who got up and walked over to the icicle and quipped.
The person who came smiled brightly again, and said while walking forward slowly: "My surname is Qiong, my name is Lin, and I am the second prince of the Tiansheng Dynasty, and I live in Tiansheng Palace, which is one mile away. ”
Xi Yao was amazed, the person who didn't want to save his life was actually a prince, and he was not surprised, but when he saw that Qionglin had already walked in front of him, there was only an icicle between the two.
He smiled in his eyes, "Since I am a good man, of course I will be a good person to the end, and I will save you again." As he spoke, he took out a small bottle containing a white granular object from his pocket.
"What is this?"
"Xuan Yunlin, dedicated to melting ice. He raised his eyebrows at Xi Yao, uncorked the bottle, and poured only a little, and the powder-stained icicles suddenly emitted white smoke, and in a moment the icicles softened, and Qiong Lin kicked it off, and Xi Yao squeezed out of the gap.
"Are you still feeling unwell?" asked Joan Lin with a kind look in his eyes.
Xi Yao shook her head, "No." Even if there were, she thought that the heat in her body should be reduced by the temperature of the dark room.
Qiong Lin smiled, "Then go up with me, Chu Sheng is still waiting." ”
Without waiting for Xi Yao to ask the reason, Qiong Lin went straight out of the dark room, Xi Yao did not have such vigorous skills, and Qiong Lin handed down the wooden ladder from above and climbed up.
Out of the dark room, the two walked along the corridor to the end and came to an elegantly furnished small flower hall. Xi Yao saw Chu Sheng, dressed in a moon-white robe, sitting on the main chair, his long hair slightly tied, and his eyebrows and eyes were as lazy as the afternoon sun, talking to the people sitting next to him.
Qiong Lin walked in front of Xi Yao, and also looked into the flower hall, and suddenly smiled, half self-deprecating, half helpless, "The prince and princess are not going out of the palace without a holy oracle, but I am an exception in Tiansheng Palace." I also sneaked out last time I rescued you, and I couldn't abscond for a while, but I was worried about your situation in Chu Mansion, and the queen mother said that it was not impossible to get out of the palace, but I just had to find someone to supervise it. ”
Xi Yao didn't understand why Qiong Lin had to explain this to herself, and she didn't think deeply, just as she was talking, the two of them walked to the door of the flower hall, and the person who was talking to Chu Sheng was the one who supervised Qiong Lin.
Sitting on a side chair, a woman wearing a white powder placket half-sleeved skirt, black hair like lacquer, hair curling Chaoyang five phoenix buns, hanging beads osmanthus ivory flowers, eyebrows are picturesque, such as green bamboo after the rain, the green mountains of the mist micro-cage, bright and moving.
"This is my imperial sister, the eldest princess of the Tiansheng Dynasty, Qiongxi. Qionglin introduced sideways.
Xi Yao has never seen such a beautiful person, it turns out that the so-called antique beauty is really incomparable to the TV series, and that elegant temperament can only be honed by being born in the dynasty.
The woman on the seat turned her head slightly and glanced at Xi Yao, who came back to her senses and saluted, "I've seen Princess Qiongxi." ”
The beads on the flower sounded softly, and the atmosphere was suddenly quiet, and after a while, Qiong Xi replied lightly: "No courtesy." ”
The momentum of the princess is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy...
Qiong Lin led her into the seat, the royal siblings sat on one side, Chu Sheng was in the main seat, and Xi Yao was divided into one side alone. Since Fang Fang came in, Xi Yao felt that there was always a terrifying gaze shooting at her, and after seeing Princess Qiongxi's faint smile disappear, she realized that the gaze was shot from the person sitting opposite.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly heard Chu Sheng say softly, "Are you feeling better?"
"The recovery is almost the same, but the body temperature is still a little hot. Xi Yao replied, and then the gaze intensified.
"Retreat in the dark room is only preliminary, and healing requires medication and exercises. Learning to harness the power in your body, rather than suppressing it, is the best way to do it. Chu Sheng explained.
The topic had just started, and Xi Yao didn't wait to speak, but when she saw Qiong Lin, who was sitting next to her, she suddenly answered: "So, you have a choice now, Xi Yao." ”
He folded his ten fingers in front of his knees, his expression was resolute, as if he had made some major decision, and after a while, he said: "There are many ways to control power, whether it is in the palace or in the Chu Mansion." However, there is only one Xiyao, if you are allowed to choose, where do you want to go more of the two?"
Chu Sheng's lips flashed with a faint smile, and he changed his words: "It stands to reason that the second prince saved your life by the river, and the grace of saving your life is the greatest, you should listen to him." But before he handed you over to me as a punishment for not going to the appointment, and it was I who suppressed the evil spirit fire in your body, and I also had the grace of saving you from the arrow. But... The final decision is yours, and whatever your choice is, we are happy to accept it. ”
Although the ancient sayings are around, after Chu Sheng and Qionglin explained, she also understood seven or eight points, in other words, it was nothing more than letting her choose whether to stay in Chu Mansion or follow Qionglin into the palace in the future.
They will gladly accept whatever she chooses, but the man's nerves are as thick as a steel pipe-didn't he see the princess in the seat and almost raised his knife to cut her! If eyes can kill, Xi Yao believes that she may have died countless times......
The woman's intuition told Xi Yao that the princess definitely liked Chu Sheng.
"This..." she said, not how is it good, the left and right choices are offending people, but she can't afford to offend these two.
Just when she was embarrassed, Qiong Xi, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly said: "Wasn't Miss Xiyao washed up by the river to Nanyang, since she woke up, why didn't she go home, aren't you afraid that your parents at home will worry?"
