19 Rebuke
Chengfeng is really a little embarrassed, after all, in this vast sea of people, he has never seen Jielan's father, where should he find it, and how to find it, but since he promised to help her, this is her mother's only wish, so no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it, he only nodded, and said: "Okay, I promised you, no matter whether your father is alive or dead, I will give you an answer." ”
Hearing that Chengfeng agreed to such an impudent request so quickly, Jielan was really moved, and tears almost burst out of her eyes again, she only said: "Thank you, Feng, thank you very much." ”
Chengfeng smiled indifferently and said, "Anyway, I plan to wander around with Qixue, and it's not the same to find someone?" So you don't need to thank me, it's just that when I go, you have to be careful in the royal court, although I don't want to see you get too close to Shaojun, but I still want to tell you, if you encounter anything difficult, it's best to discuss with him, don't do it alone, after all, this is the royal city, not before. ”
Jielan nodded, she thought that Chengfeng was going to leave her for a while, and her heart was very reluctant, she approached Chengfeng, stretched out her arms, gently hugged Chengfeng, and rested her head on Chengfeng's chest, she felt Chengfeng's blazing temperature, and her heart was pounding, and Chengfeng was also shocked by Jielan's action, he stood there blankly, not daring to move.
"Thank you so much, thank you for helping me so much, I will remember it for the rest of my life, you know? In fact, I once thought that if I didn't go to Wangcheng, I really wanted to wander around with you, Long Yi and Qi Xue, and live that unrestrained life, but no one thought that things would turn out like this, and I didn't expect the distance between us to get farther and farther away, but I hope you can remember that in my heart, no matter what my identity is, you are someone who can replace me. Jielan's sincere words made Chengfeng very pleased, he stretched out his hand to stroke Jielan's soft long hair, and said: "I knew you were a princess, so I have never changed to you, I treated you like that before, and I will treat you like that in the future." So, you don't have to think about it anymore, it's not early, you better go and rest first, and I'll send you to the palace gate early tomorrow morning, otherwise I'm worried about your safety." ”
Jielan nodded, she went back to the bed, lay down again, and Chengfeng covered her with the quilt, and then went out of the house to guard the outside, protecting the woman she wanted to protect the most.
And Jielan looked at the figure of Chengfeng projected on the window lattice, as if she felt that she had returned to the past, she looked at the figure, showed a soft and beautiful smile, smiled and smiled, and fell asleep again, only this time it was the most restful day she slept in the past few days.
..............................
On the second day, Jielan woke up early in the morning, she knew that she was going to wait outside the palace gate, she had to go earlier, otherwise it would be very troublesome to be known, but she thought again, the woman who came to intercept her last night didn't know whose subordinate it was, if it was someone in the palace, then she must have known that she had not returned to the palace, she wanted to be at ease when she came, and she didn't think about it so much, she got up, but saw that Qi Xue had already beaten the water, and respectfully stood aside.
Suddenly being taken care of by Qi Xue like this, for some reason, Jielan felt very disgusted, her expression became cold, and said: "Xue, I can do these little things myself, you don't have to bother me so much." ”
Qi Xue smiled indifferently and said: "You are a princess now, your identity is different, if you are in the royal court now, there must be many maids to serve you to get up and change clothes, I have to do all this here, but I am rude, don't dislike it." ”
I don't know why, although Jielan knew that this was a piece of kindness from Qi Xue, but she felt like she had been slapped by someone, and her expression became even more gloomy, while Qi Xue passed the veil in the water, and then wrung out the water of the handkerchief lightly, walked to Jielan, and presented it respectfully with both hands, so that she really regarded herself as a maid.
Jielan looked at the half-demon in front of her who had accompanied her through countless lives and deaths, and the anger in her heart suddenly hit her heart, her eyes were cold, and with her right hand, she opened the handkerchief on Qi Xue's hand, and the white hairkerchief was thrown out, and it fell to the ground with a 'pop'. Qi Xue didn't expect Jielan to do such a thing, she looked at Jielan in anger in amazement, she didn't know why she did this, she only swallowed: "Lan... You..."
"You remember calling me blue, didn't you? Since you still call me blue, then why do you treat me like this, although I am a princess, but I am still the same Jielan before, and you are also my best friend Qixue! Do you wipe my face and dress me, and from your heart you treat me like a princess, and isolate me? Are you going to do this to me in the future? Jielan said what was in her heart happily, feeling sad for Qi Xue.
Qi Xue didn't expect Jielan to be angry about this matter, she lowered her head, feeling that she was indeed a little unattainable, she only whispered: "Because you are indeed a princess, I never thought that Lan You would actually be a princess, do you know how shocked I was when I first learned the truth?" But since I learned the truth, I found that you are far away from me, for so long, I can't even say a word to you, I can only look at you from afar, I know, you are a princess, and I am only a half-demon, how can I be qualified to be the same as you before with such an identity? ”
Jielan didn't expect Qi Xue to have such thoughts, she knew that Qi Xue would treat herself like this, and it would suddenly seem so strange, it was completely her fault, because these days, she was busy with her own affairs, but ignored her and Chengfeng, so she made Qi Xue feel that she had changed, Jielan felt guilty, she held Qi Xue's small hand, and said: "Xue, I'm sorry, I haven't come to see you these days, it's my fault, but I always remember you and Chengfeng in my heart, please believe me, whether I'm a princess or not, It's still an ordinary woman, I won't change, I'll still treat you like before, and Xue, can you treat me like before? ”
"I... I..."In Qi Xue's heart, like the black pig, there is actually a potential inferiority complex, although she is a demon servant, it sounds like the heavens sent to the world to protect the blood demon, but in fact, because they have demon blood flowing in their bodies, this kind of turbid blood can neither be accommodated in the heavens nor in the world, so to speak, they are the objects abandoned by this world, and their lives, they live only for one thing, to protect their acolytes from falling into the devil's way, except for this matter, they seem to be useless, so, In Qi Xue's heart, when she knew that Jielan was actually a princess and was likely to become the king in the future, she naturally felt that Jielan was unattainable, and the distance between her heart was widened.
"Can't you do it in the snow? Are you going to ignore me from now on and keep your distance from me? Seeing the hesitant Qixue, Jielan was a little flustered and a little disappointed.
"Can I really do to you like I used to? If it's like that, I might scold you, I might get angry with you, I might make fun of you, but even if it did, wouldn't you mind? ”
Jielan smiled, shook her head vigorously, and said, "Don't mind, never mind, all I want is such a rugged snow!" ”
When Qi Xue heard Jielan's words, the big stone in her heart was put down, and she smiled again, as if she had never been so happy in her life, she took Jielan's hand, "Great, Lan, do you know?" I've been worried these days that you'll stop needing us and won't pay attention to us anymore because you've become a princess, but I didn't expect Lan to still care about us, which is great. ”
"Fool!" Jielan scratched the tip of her nose with her fingers, and she was also happy. She saw that Qi Xue was relieved, and she was not so worried in her heart, she looked at the sky outside the window, and saw that it was not early, so she hurriedly said: "I'm leaving, maybe wait until the next time I see you again, I don't know when, but I will always think about you and the wind, and, promise me, take good care of the wind, you know?" ”
Qi Xue was a little puzzled, because if she and Chengfeng wanted to see her, in fact, as long as Chengfeng wanted to, they could do it at any time, but listening to Jielan's tone, it seemed that they really had a long time before they could see each other again, Qi Xue wanted to ask what was going on, but Jielan was already busy going out of the house, as soon as she went out, she saw Chengfeng staying at the door, it seemed that he stayed here all night and never left, she was very moved in her heart, thinking that she was going to leave, and she couldn't see him for a long time, she was a little sad in her heart, she lowered her head and said gloomily:" I'm leaving, I'll trouble you with what I asked you about last night. ”
Chengfeng was also a little reluctant to stay away from her, but he didn't show it, he just nodded and said, "I'll send you to the palace gate, and then I'll prepare to leave." ”
Jielan thought that she didn't have much time to get along with him, so let him send herself, she nodded, and walked downstairs, and Chengfeng followed closely behind, Qi Xue didn't know what they were talking about just now, but seeing that Jielan was leaving, she naturally followed.
And when she got to the door, although it was not yet dawn and there were not many pedestrians on the street, she was still worried that she would be recognized, and it would not be good to spread it to the court when the time came. Qi Xue took a windbreaker from the room, she put the windbreaker on for Jielan, Jielan looked back at Qixue, smiled, full of gratitude to her, she put on the hat of the windbreaker, covered her face, and then went to the street, straight towards the palace gate.
The three of them didn't say anything all the way, and when they were about to reach the palace gate, Jielan turned around and said to Chengfeng: "You guys can send it here, I will wait here for Long Yi to come out." ”
Chengfeng didn't want to embarrass Jielan, so he nodded and turned to leave, but Qi Xue was very reluctant to Jielan, and said: "Lan, you will definitely encounter a lot of things in the royal city alone, if you need me anything, you must tell me, I will come to accompany you, you know?" ”
Jielan smiled and nodded, very pleased with Qi Xue's concern for her. Qi Xue instructed before leaving with Chengfeng.
And Jielan stood in a laneway outside the palace gate, waiting for the sedan chair to go out of the city, waiting until the hour, but saw her vermilion sedan chair coming out of the palace gate, and then passed by the alleyway, Jielan hurriedly stepped forward and called to Long Yi in the sedan chair: "Long Yi, Long Yi!" ”
The sedan chair stopped, Jielan hurriedly walked over, ready to lift the sedan curtain and prepare to get on the sedan chair, but a hand stretched out from it, the hand was white and slender, it was a woman's hand, but how could there be other women in her sedan chair besides Long Yi? Jielan knew that there was a problem, so she hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at the sedan chair vigilantly.
The sedan curtain was opened, but he saw his mother sitting in it, Jielan was dumb there, and she didn't know what to say, and it took a while to wake up and prepare to salute. But she heard her mother say, "Don't you come up quickly, aren't you afraid of being seen like this?" ”
After hearing this, Jielan hurriedly got into the sedan chair, but when she saw the black pig sitting beside her mother, probably sitting with the king for the first time, the black pig seemed at a loss and was very nervous.
Jielan didn't expect her mother to be here, she knew that her mother must have known that she hadn't returned overnight, so she was very embarrassed and apologized, and said, "I... I was last night..."
"I don't care what you went to do last night, but only this once, if you want to leave the palace in the future, you must report to me first, and after I agree, I will send guards to protect you, and you go out with dignity, you know?" The king looked very serious, and did not show any mercy to his daughter.
Jielan lowered her head, feeling a little sad like a child who had done something wrong, she nodded and said, "I know, I won't in the future." She was curious, and asked, "How did my mother know that I didn't return to the royal court, did anyone else know?" ”
King Xiao closed his eyes, a little angry, and said: "If I hadn't gone to your dormitory to find you last night, how would I have known that you actually stayed outside the palace without permission, do you know, if other courtiers know that you are doing this, I am afraid that the reference book I received today will be let me read for a day, and do you know that you can't make any mistakes now, not to mention that you still commit the crime of leaving the palace without permission, and if you are discovered, you are going to be confined, do you know?" ”
The more serious her mother said, the more sad Jielan felt, but she was also a little aggrieved, but she couldn't tell her mother what her purpose was when she came out, she just said: "I will remember it in the future, and I won't make such a mistake again, it's just that mother, you just left the palace like this, is there no problem?" ”
"I saw that you were not in the palace, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I stayed in your bedroom for the reason of sleeping with my daughter, and then I came out on the grounds of inspecting your study with Princess Nanrong, so I took your soft sedan chair, so that when you go out of the palace, no one will come to check, otherwise, I really don't know what trouble you will have." King Xiao is still angry, she has high expectations for Jielan, so she doesn't want her to make a mistake.
