Chapter 19: The Reunion of the Dead
In the afternoon, the sun is blazing~
Zizhuxuan, in the bedroom. (The west courtyard of the Liangwang Mansion is now the residence of the side concubine Yeruiji.) )
"Explain your business, can you do it?"
The maid reported to the woman in the house through the screen.
"All ready~"
"Good. As she spoke, the woman stepped out from behind the screen, revealing a coquettish, cold face. The body is light, fluttering like a fairy, and Ling Bo walks slightly. There is shrewdness and decisiveness in his eyes......
"This is a secret letter sent by Your Majesty~"
Ye Rui Ji took the letter from the maid's hand and ----, "In the past few days, I have made a corresponding understanding of the topography and size of the courtyard of the Liangwang Mansion. Yaruiji walked to the candlestick and burned the letter, looking confident.
"I heard that Huangfu Liang and the princess have a deep affection, and this princess is said to have been seriously injured by the assassin before the wedding, and after waking up in a coma, she followed the two of them, and then she showed her name at the banquet and became famous. was favored by Huangfu Liang, so he married into the palace, and he was the daughter of the general of Qianlin Kingdom~ This person had to be guarded against. ”
"Oh, it looks like it's time to pay a visit to this princess. ”
"Yes~"
Yaruihime smiled intrigue and looked at the things on the table......
"Ah~"
"The princess eats some fruit and rests her eyes, this account cannot be read for a moment, and the gain outweighs the loss when she is tired. Then the maid put the freshly brewed tea in front of Jiang Xueqing.
Da ~ Mo Wan walked in.
"Princess~" Mo Wan hesitated, frowning and looking out the door.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xueqing asked aloud.
"The night concubine came and said that there was something for the princess. ”
"Hmph, let her in. ”
"Yes, Princess. ”
Ye Rui Ji walked in head-on, "Concubine ~ meet the princess." ”
"The night side concubine is exempt from etiquette and sits. ”
"Princess Xie. ”
After Yaruiji sat down, she glanced around the Qiwu Pavilion vigilantly.
"The concubine took the liberty of coming and was abrupt. I wonder if you have disturbed the princess's sister?"
Jiang Xueqing tacitly agreed, as if she was smiling but not smiling. "Sister Night said this, but she was out of sight. The side concubine entered the palace yesterday, and I should have gone to visit my sister---- side concubine is still used to it. ”
"Princess Lao remembers, it's okay. Look at the princess's sister~ her face is a little haggard, I don't know why I bother?"
Jiang Xueqing looked at Ye Rui Ji and looked at it carefully.
"Huh~ It's just some miscellaneous things in the house. Straighten up the needles and threads, and put it down and there are a lot of things, which is really disturbing. Okay now, with the help of the night concubine, I can also be busy! ”
"Yes~" Mo Wan put away the account book.
Ye Rui Ji thought to herself: "How can such a simple person be favored by King Liang~ I don't want to be a scheming city, it's not as rumored to be." I want to be a weak, cowardly little white rabbit......"
"How can the concubine be more capable than the princess, the princess does not think the concubine is stupid, and the concubine must do her best to assist the princess. The concubine has a gift to bring to the princess~"
Yaruihime's maid, with a delicate box in her hand, walked up.
Jiang Xueqing inadvertently turned her head to look at it, her expression heavy and sneering.
"The night concubine really has a heart. ”
"This is a hundred incense, as long as a little can fill the room with fragrance, its fragrance lasts for a long time. It is produced in a small country on the border, and because it is scarce, it is extremely precious. As she spoke, Ye Ruiji handed the box to Jiang Xueqing.
"Mo night, good life is collected. Jiang Xueqing glanced at Mo Wan~
Mo Wan understood his intentions and responded softly. "Yes~"
Twittering ---- sand ~ The birds sing loudly, and the breeze dances for its harmony.
"The concubine has just arrived in Qianlin Country not long ago, and I don't know anything about the customs of this place~ Can the princess take the time to accompany the concubine out of the house for a walk......"
"Princess~"
"The side concubine sincerely invited, and the princess should accompany her. ”
Mo Wan wanted to say something to stop her, but was stopped by Jiang Xueqing.
After Yaruihime leaves~
"The slave doesn't understand, that night Ruiji is not ......"
Mo Wan knew that some words should not be known by others, so he immediately covered his mouth and sent the people serving in the house away before speaking.
"Since the princess knows the identity of Yeruiji, why should she ~"
"Even if I pass the resignation today, she will still make some moves in the future, so it is better to take the initiative. ”
"The princess is saying~"
"What do you think of the spice?"
"What a good thing, the princess will not have ......"
Jiang Xueqing smiled and shook her head. "It's a soul incense, and although it is similar to Baili incense, its effect is completely different. Regular use, can confuse people's minds, breathtaking. The person who burns this incense will be at the mercy of others like a marionette, otherwise why do you think she is coming? ”
"This, such a dangerous thing, the slave and maid still hurriedly threw it away~"
"Don't worry, lock up the things and put them in the warehouse first, maybe they will be used that day. ”
"The slave understands. ”
"She must think that I am weak and deceitful, so I can handle it---- but it's okay, let this princess see her intentions~ and then wait for the opportunity to move. Hmph, just wait, there's going to be a lot of trouble in the future......"
Zizhuxuan, "What did the lady find out about this Fu Liluo?"
"I thought it would be a powerful character, but now it seems that it is not enough, this plan may be able to start with her~"
"So what do we do next?"
The maid leaned in and listened to her commands......
A few days later, the Beijing City Gathering. "Buy cloth ~ fine satin. Delicious sugar man ......"
"I didn't expect the market in Qianlin to be so lively, and it is much different from the southern night. ”
"If the side concubine likes it, she can come often in the future. There are a few restaurants that make dishes and snacks that are also good. The side concubine can try it~"
"Girl, buy a piece of cloth! These are the most fashionable materials in Beijing. Jiang Xueqing and Ye Ruiji stopped to choose the fabric.
"It's all ready~" the maid whispered to the night Rui Ji.
Yaruihime pretended to be nothing.
"Does the princess look at the style of this cloth?"
"Childe~"
"This voice? Shadow~"
Jiang Xueqing seemed to be startled, and hurriedly looked back.
"Emperor, Imperial Brother. How could the imperial brother and Ying Zhen come to Qianlin?" Jiang Xueqing was surprised and happy in her heart, and she was at a loss for a while. ”
"Ah~ There are assassins, kill people! Hurry, run...... The crowd panicked. At this moment, the sword in the assassin's hand was stabbing towards Jiang Xueqing. At the end of the shot, Shadow appeared to repel the assassin and save Jiang Xueqing.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Ying Yu thought to herself, looking at Jiang Xueqing and puzzled.
"Is the girl hurt?"
"No defense, thank you for your help. ”
"Fortunately, the princess was not injured, and she frightened the concubine. ”
After Jiang Moqing and his party returned to the inn and settled down, Ying Yu told Jiang Moqing about today's events......
"Is this true?" Jiang Moqing said in a heavy tone.
"Back to Your Majesty, that woman is different from the princess except that her face is different. But the aura and demeanor are very similar to those of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Moreover, there is exactly a snow character engraved on the bracelet that she inadvertently revealed when she spoke---- so her subordinates can be sure that this person is Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
At this moment, Jiang Moqing had mixed feelings in his heart. After all, for the world, his favorite royal sister, Princess Lai Yu Guoyan, died a year ago. However, he thinks that the death of the imperial sister is strange, and believes that Jiang Xueqing is still alive in the world, and has been sending secret guards to find her whereabouts.
"Send someone to take this person immediately~"
"Yes~ subordinates receive orders. ”
"Alas, Cher, is it you my royal sister, what is the reason for your transformation......
----A gust of wind blew, and the fallen leaves drifted onto the eaves.
On the second day, the west gate of the Liangwang Mansion.
"Knock knock~"
"Who!" asked the doorkeeper, opening the door. I stretched out my head to see no one, except for one more letter on the ground. Because it was written with the words "The princess personally enlightened", the little servant sent the letter to Jiang Xueqing.
"The market has always been peaceful, and it's strange that the night concubine came to attract this assassin too. And it seems that they are all going for the princess. I have to make people suspicious~"
"What's so strange about this, it's the person she sent, can't you hurt her if you don't hurt me? ”
"How can the princess see it?" Mo Wanhu was suspicious~
She thought she was clever, but she didn't know that she had made a fatal mistake. The blades used by the Assassins bear the emblem of their Southern Night Country......"
"The princess is thoughtful, and the slave and maid are respectful~ However, who will send a letter if you are good?"
Jiang Xueqing stared at the letter in her hand, and after thinking for a long time, she opened it and looked at it carefully, and the words in the letter were written by Jiang Moqing.
"Mo night, change my clothes for ......"
Two hours later, a hut on the outskirts of the city.
"Dada----da!"
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has come down. ”
Jiang Moqing slowly turned around.
"Brother Huang lost your birthday gift, Xue'er~ It's okay to forgive Brother Huang?"
"It's not good, the royal brother is always so careless, this time he even lost ~ even my birthday gift. I will tell the queen mother and let her punish you well......" Jiang Xueqing choked up, tears filling her eyes. Let's da~ Let's da, tears wet Luo shirt.
"Brother Huang~" Jiang Xueqing cried, her voice hoarse.
With a sound of "bang~", Jiang Xueqing knelt on the ground. Tears and sweat have long been mixed together, and it is impossible to distinguish them.
Jiang Moqing hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Xueqing up---- Jiang Xueqing held Jiang Moqing's arm with her backhand and shook her head.
"I am ashamed of my imperial brother, and even more ashamed of the tens of millions of soldiers of my country who died in battle because of me. Xue'er faced the royal brother shamelessly, woo woo~"
"Cher, don't think so. Listen, whenever and wherever you are, you are my royal sister, the princess of the Yu Kingdom. Behind him, there is the entire country of Laiyu as a backing. You are not alone, and the royal brother will not abandon you if he loses anything. With the royal brother here, even if I lose the whole country, I will never allow others to touch the imperial sister. Jiang Moqing looked at Jiang Xueqing's eyes with a firm determination and said.
"Brother Huang, I~"
"Alright, come on, get up. Don't cry, if you cry again, you will really become a little cat. ”
"Heh~mmmm. ”
Jiang Moqing raised his arm and fingers were white and soft, wiping away his tears. (Jiang Moqing, Emperor of Lai Yu State, Jiang Xueqing's imperial brother.) He is a man of humanity and martial arts, gentle and elegant, and has an extraordinary bearing, and does not want to compete with the world. The green silk is as delicate and smooth as the starry sky. Yan is like Shunhua, and the demeanor is all right. Her appearance and posture are more handsome than that of women. The most cherished person is only his royal sister ......)
Jiang Moqing's fingers touched Jiang Xueqing's cheeks with a sad expression, tears rolled in her eyes, and her heart ached. "Tell the royal brother what you have been through in the past few years?how~ How did your appearance change, even your temperament is not as good as before, and the cause of your death is why. ”
"Huangfu Ze, hahaha~ It's me who is a fool, and I never found out that he was suspicious. Jiang Xueqing laughed at herself.
"Cher, what did you say?"
"He has already colluded with Shen Mengrou and used me to ascend to the throne of God, and then he abandoned me, replaced Shen Mengrou as the queen, and humiliated and killed me in every way. It's ridiculous that I foolishly mistook him for a lover who could be entrusted with my life, and I didn't know that from the beginning, I was just a sacrifice of his ambition. Fortunately, the heavens did not let me die in vain, and I was able to be reborn through Fu Liluo's body. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the imperial sister to see the imperial brother in her lifetime. ”
"Beast, how dare they ...... you like this" Jiang Moqing took Jiang Xueqing into his arms and comforted him.
"It's the royal brother who didn't arrive in time, Xue'er~"
"Brother Huang will always grow up, you can rest assured that I will not be weak in this life, I will definitely take the lives of Huang Fuze and Shen Mengrou to comfort the souls of the 35.82 million soldiers of our country. Jiang Xueqing said resolutely.
In an instant, the surrounding environment was extremely dull and oppressive.
Jiang Moqing felt sad and blamed herself......
"The princess has suffered, and her subordinates are incompetent, if her subordinates were by the princess's side at the time, maybe they wouldn't be~" Ying Yu knelt down and pleaded guilty. (Yingzhen, Jiang Xueqing's shadow guard, has been protecting Jiang Xueqing since he was a child.) Loyal, calm and introverted. Heroic, handsome. After Jiang Xueqing and her relatives came to China, they have been following Jiang Moqing's side, and after learning that Jiang Xueqing "died", she traveled to various countries to find out the cause and whereabouts of her death. )
"It's none of your business, but thankfully you're not there at the time. Otherwise, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life. Saying that, Jiang Xueqing helped Ying Zhen up. ”
"Princess~"
"By the way, Brother Huang, how did you come to Qianlin Country?"
"Recently, a large number of Assassins have entered the palace in disguise to assassinate in our city, and they have ......," Shadow replied.
"And what?"
Jiang Moqing put her hands on Jiang Xueqing's shoulders.
"Half a month ago, I received a secret letter that said: The old man has not passed away, and a thousand people are in the city. First, I wanted to find out who was behind the Assassins. Second, the royal brother wants to find your whereabouts. ”
"Brother Huang~"
"It's enough to see that the royal sister is fine. Shadow Fly~"
"Yes. ”
I saw that Ying Yu took out an instrument shaped like a flute from his cuff and handed it to Jiang Xueqing.
Jiang Xueqing looked at each other sideways, looking shocked!
"My saber. (This sword is carved from the finest jade, and under normal conditions it resembles an ordinary jade flute, with a sharp blade appearing inside the flute when the mechanism is triggered.) Lightweight and flexible, killing people is invisible and imperceptible. )
"Since the day you went to Qianlin Kingdom, I have taken it with me to see things and think about people---- the imperial brother knows that now you are the princess of Huangfu Liang, and you are here alone I will not feel at ease. From this day onwards, the shadow will remain to protect your safety. ”
"I remember when the imperial brother gave it to me for the first time, he once said that practicing martial arts and swords is not for the purpose of fighting, killing, and killing. Rather, on the premise of having the ability to protect oneself, protect the peace of the people, fight for what one wants, and protect those who cherish it......"
On the way back to the Liangwang Mansion, "Gurrah, Boom!" Jiang Xueqing kicked the stone on the ground.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, just like when she was a child, she likes to kick pebbles every time she has something to worry about. ”
"Only you know me. ”
"It's all to blame on the subordinates~" Ying Yu lowered her head silently.
"You and I have grown up together since childhood, and how many swords and arrows have been blocked for me, I have long regarded you as a relative in my heart. When I was seven years old, I accidentally fell into the water, my father and mother went out of the palace to worship in the temple, and the royal brother was too busy with political affairs to take care of me, and you took care of me until I recovered. But he was punished by his father for dereliction of duty. That night, another Assassin infiltrated the palace, and it was you who braved the heavy rain to fight the Assassin to the death, full of scars. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have become a dead soul under the sword...... One by one, one by one, I remember them all in my heart. You don't owe me, so you don't have to blame yourself. ”
"I didn't expect these old things, the princess still remembers. Protecting the princess is what subordinates should do, but even this little thing can't be done~"
"Alright! Shadow, you're always so old-fashioned. That is to say, this princess will punish you for continuing to protect this princess in the future, and you will not move an inch. Jiang Xueqing said in a childish tone.
"Yes, my subordinates are determined to protect the princess to the death. ”
"After all, this is a Qianlin country, and outsiders still call me princess. Jiang Xueqing's eyes were serious and fierce.
"Yes, Princess. ”
