CHAPTER XXII
Wu Chi took her two hands and walked with Xiao Heng to the door of the Xiyun Palace
"Xiao Yushi should not do these out-of-the-ordinary things next time, Wu Chi is just a little palace maid, Xiao Yushi is the imperial history, and it shouldn't be related in the first place."
Wuchi lowered his head and said calmly. Although I don't want to do this, I have to stay away from these big people, otherwise I will suffer, not to mention, but also to offend Concubine Yun, in this deep palace, Mingzhe's self-preservation is a self-evident way of survival, and only by staying away can you not be involved.
"Did you say the same thing to General Yin?" Hearing this surname, Wu Chi couldn't help but raise his head and look at Xiao Heng's cold eyes very calmly, his eyebrows drooped, the original sense of a clear boy seemed to be covered up by the sense of temptation, Wu Chi felt a little in his heart, and suddenly remembered that the boy who stood under the tree when he was a child with a handful of snot and a handful of tears has now grown into a man who can take charge of himself.
"The slave maid has nothing to do with General Yin."
Wu Chi continued to walk, his eyes unconsciously dimmed, Xiao Heng suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud or small, and it just reached the ears of Wu Chi, who was walking in front
"I'm no longer the little boy under the tree, I don't need you to think about everything for me anymore, I can afford anything I can do, just like now if I say that I want to fulfill the promise I made when I was a child to marry you, it is also true."
Wu Chi turned his back to Xiao Heng, until he heard the last word fall, he didn't dare to turn his head, he didn't know how to face it, how to bear it, he really shouldn't continue to treat Xiao Heng as a little boy when he was a child.
Yun Zhiyan stood at the door of the main hall, looking at the two of them, with a satisfied smile on his face unconsciously, and even began to think that his cherished purple gauze sleeved skirt could be added to Wuchi's dowry. Qianshu looked at Yun Zhiyan so interested, and then looked at the fog in the distance, feeling that something was wrong
"Concubine Yun, Wu Chi doesn't seem to like Xiao Yushi."
Yun Zhiyan put away his smile and turned to Qianshu and said
"This palace just needs to ensure that Xiao Heng is the best choice for Wu Chi, and what can you decide if you like it or not" Yun Zhiyan turned his back and said weakly, "Don't be like me." ”
Don't be like me, I like the emperor, but the emperor still can't give him the life he wants, and he doesn't live happily.
Qianhui looked at Yun Zhiyan's back thoughtfully, Yun Zhiyan was happy at the beginning, Emperor Yan was extremely favored, and he also had a child, but he was hit by a girl ring when he was in his belly, and since then he has begun to be arrogant and arrogant. only said one sentence after getting drunk once, I want others to know that she is not easy to bully, not a girl who can come and bump into her casually, and everyone in the harem should take her seriously. Now such a little girl has become a big girl, and she is using her strength to protect another little girl.
--
This year's winter has not snowed for a long time, but the cold is terrible, when there is no wind, it is the kind of cold air that slowly pierces the cold like an ice arrow, and when there is wind, the cold air can blow people all over the body like a knife.
After the air conditioner entered the body that time, Wu Chi was still afraid of the cold, and he would always wear an extra jacket than others inside, warm his knees, and have a lot of hand stoves.
After the daily work is done, he squats in front of the fire in the main hall, waiting for the snow, and occasionally when it rains, he will run outside to carefully check whether it is snow and whether it can be piled up.
Seeing that Wu Chi was slumping his face and sitting in front of the stove again, Yun Zhiyan snorted coldly
"The monk said that Chihua lost a lot of people's lives this year, and Ruixue is afraid that he will not come."
Wu Chi sighed, looked at the dripping light rain outside, the cold wind blew into the house, Wu Chi immediately followed closer to the stove, and couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart.
If it's snowing, you can build a snowman with the firefly, and if you have a falling ice crisp, you can also freeze the falling ice crisp in the snow and take it out to eat the next day, which is the best time for the falling ice crisp.
"Don't be so close to the stove, wait until you burn yourself" Yun Zhiyan was embroidering flowers on his furry scarf, when he saw the tongue of fire dangling in front of Wu Chi, and turned his head to the palace maid next to him and said, "Add more carbon fire." ”
"Concubine Yun, what are you waiting for in this snow, in the past, at this time, the snow could be piled up to your knees."
Yun Zhiyan looked at the gray sky outside with Wu Chi's gaze, and a bad premonition came, maybe something bad was going to happen.
--
People think that Ruixue will go down on the day of the queen's birthday.
The queen's birthday, the whole world celebrates, all cities have sent congratulatory gifts, this time the queen's birthday is bigger than ever, all festive and lively, not only to celebrate the birthday of the queen, but more important is to welcome the prince of Haisheng country, to show it the prosperity of Chihua.
The banquet began with the guests seated, Emperor Yan entered with the prince of Haisheng Kingdom, Wu Chi lowered his head and saw that the prince and Emperor Yan were walking side by side, and it was rumored that Emperor Yan attached great importance to the visit of the prince of Haisheng Kingdom. Wu Chi didn't dare to look up, because as soon as he looked up, he could see Yin Qu and Ming Zhuxuan sitting together.
He Lingjun smiled slightly, responding to Emperor Yan's words, and the two sat down on the high platform, and Emperor Yan placed the position of the crown prince on the left side of the throne.
On the stage, there were dancers who came up to perform, the drums sounded in unison, sometimes tactful and sometimes sonorous, and the dance was also a combination of rigidity and softness, blending into the music. Wu Chi was a little stunned, and he didn't notice at all, he was also being watched. He Lingjun looked at Wu Chi standing behind Yun Zhiyan with great interest, the corners of his mouth were slightly curvature, and then he turned his head to meet Yin Qu's cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth were more curvature.
There are so many programs that I don't want to blink when the fog is late, for fear of missing any wonderful scenes.
Yun Zhiyan called Wu Chi and asked Wu Chi to go to the back court to warm his knees, and Wu Chi was reluctant to leave.
Yun Zhiyan glanced at He Lingjun on the stage uneasily, and seemed to keep turning his gaze to this side, although he was not sure that it would be better to let Wu Chi leave temporarily.
Ming Zhuxuan noticed Yin Qu's warm knees, the color was bright, and the material didn't look good.
"Why didn't the general wear the knee warmer given by Xuan'er, but wore it like this"
Ming Zhuxuan said with disdain on his face
"I like it"
After Yin Qu dropped three words, he got up and left the table.
He Lingjun watched Wu Chi and Yin Qu leave the table one after another, pretending to be unwell
"Your Majesty, Lingjun is a little overwhelmed and wants to take a rest."
After Emperor Yan received it, he immediately asked people to take He Lingjun with him.
The back court was not far from the banquet, and Wu Chi hurriedly went back to watch the song and dance performance, and immediately rushed back after warming his knees
Met Yin Qu on the road, and the breath exhaled by Wu Chi formed a fog in the air, and through the fog, Wu Chi could still recognize the tall figure in a black cloak in the distance.
Wu Chi saluted Yin Qu from a long distance, the distance was a little far, Wu Chi didn't see Yin Qu's expression clearly, only knew that he was looking at himself, and then saw a man in a green shirt walking from behind Yin Qu, talking to Yin Qu, this should be the prince of Haisheng Kingdom. Wu Chi lowered his head and walked closer, and saw more clearly, feeling that the prince of this Haisheng Kingdom was becoming more and more familiar, where had he seen that pair of eyebrows
He Shangjia! The prince of Haisheng Kingdom turned out to be He Shangjia!
Wu Chi was a little shocked in his heart, he was actually fighting business with the prince of a country. Wu Chi didn't dare to look over there now.
"General Yin, we have met so soon" He Lingjun's clear eyes were a little sarcastic, and his eyebrows were cold
"The prince is really bold, aren't you really afraid?"
Yin Qu tugged at the corners of his mouth, his tone was calm, and his eyes flashed murderous
He Lingjun shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at Wu Chi who was walking in the distance, and his tone became even more rampant
"Afraid of what?"
Yin Qu's fists clenched unconsciously, and a ball of anger burned in his heart.
Wu Chi complained in his heart about how this road had not been completed for so long, and suddenly there were many more small dots on the ground, and Wu Chi suddenly reacted, it was snow! It's snowing! Wu Chi looked up in surprise, and the snowflakes were chaotic and slowly drifting down, white flowers.
Wu Chi's eyes gradually moved down with a snowflake, and he saw two palace maid-like people standing on the city wall, and then the people who were close to the city wall suddenly fell from the side of the city wall, Wu Chi's gaze moved from the snowflake to the person's body, and smashed to the ground, Wu Chi was shocked by the sound and blinked violently, and there was some warm liquid on his face.
Wu Chi's blurred vision gradually became clearer, how could the person lying in the snow, the person surrounded by blood, look so similar...... How is it so like...... Fireflies.
Yin Qu looked at the people on the ground, flashed surprise, and immediately walked forward. He Lingjun accepted his surprise and slowly changed his eyes to watch the show.
Wu Chi moved forward step by step, hoping to find evidence from the man who was not Liuying, but he didn't find it, the picturesque eyebrows, the thin lips that were always smiling, and the pair of willow jade bracelets on his hands that were exposed.
Before the fog came out, tears were already flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Wu Chi knelt down beside Liuying, his hands trembling and not daring to touch Liuying, and the first snow fell on Liuying's face, melting into the thick and red blood behind Liuying.
Yin Qu squatted down and looked at Liuying, who slowly pulled her eyes towards Yin Qu, pulling her last strength, "General...... Fireflies ...... Did it...... Protection...... Fog Late"
After the strength dissipated, the flowing firefly ran out of breath.
Wu Chi grabbed Liu Hotaru's hand, shouting Liu Hotaru's name in pain, Liu Ying had to lie on his stomach softly, and it was getting colder and colder, Wu Chi touched Liu Hotaru's face again, and the warmth was dissipating.
"Can't let the flowing firefly be cold" Foggy Chi hurriedly took off his cloak, took off the knee warmer and neck scarf, and covered it all for the flowing firefly.
Yin Qu didn't stop Wu Chi, but just took off his cloak and put it on Wu Chi's shoulder.
In the distance, Queen Yan and her entourage rushed over
Empress Yan was shocked, "Liuying! What the hell is going on?"
Everyone looked at the tragic situation in front of them and sighed
"It must have been this morning that Liuying said that she was going to move the flowers to the city wall to bask in the sun, and she accidentally fell down."
The palace maid beside Empress Yan said regretfully
This sentence reached Wu Chi, and Wu Chi remembered another figure on the city wall, although vague but it did exist, Wu Chi shook his head violently, he couldn't let Liu Hotaru's death be lied about so easily.
The snow had already accumulated some, and although he was wearing Yin Qu's cloak, the cold still entered Wu Chi's body, Wu Chi's lips were white, and his hair was covered with snow, and he was crumbling. At the last moment of falling, there was only Yin Qu's detached eyes and his footsteps that never moved.
Empress Yan apologized to He Lingjun next to her
"Can the prince be frightened?"
He Lingjun stared at Yin Qu and Wu Chi, and shook his head slightly in response to Empress Yan
Yun Zhiyan looked at the fallen Wu Chi in horror, and immediately rushed forward to hug Wu Chi, Wu Chi's face was already as white as snow
A figure came out of the crowd and walked straight towards Wu Chi, Xiao Heng picked up Wu Chi, glanced at Yin Qu who was standing in place, and walked forward, Yun Zhiyan followed beside him worriedly.
Yin Qu clenched his fists, he knew that he should do this, if he picked up Wu Chi in front of these people, he would undoubtedly plunge Wu Chi into fire and water.
Yin Qu's eyes were cold, with a sinister aura between his eyebrows, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be able to swallow people, Queen Yan looked at Yin Qu's eyes, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly and immediately retracted, turned her head and said to Concubine Ming, "Since you are a person from the Zhanye Mansion, let the Zhanye Mansion bring it back by yourself."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is almost awake from the wine, and the banquet is not over yet."
The queen smiled
He Lingjun also smiled warmly, and returned to the banquet with Queen Yan.
