Chapter 225: Healing (1)
At this time, hosta and others also climbed out of the well one by one. The hosta quickly rushed to his master's side, looking at Murong Shen's eyes full of vigilance and disgust.
Murong cautiously ignored it as if he hadn't seen it.
He stared at Zhao Xiyan tightly and said slowly, "You all stand down." I'm going to be alone with Xiyan for a while. β
Before others could react, Xu San had already changed color, and he was about to rush over and fight Murong Shen.
"Xu San," Zhao Xiyan whispered to stop the angry Xu San: "You go to the front yard." Hosta, you go too. β
Xu San had to listen to the order, and before leaving, he stared at Murong Shen fiercely.
The hosta refused to leave, and whispered hurriedly: "How can the young lady be alone with him, the slave maid should stay!" β
Zhao Xiyan said lightly: "I've been in this house for so long, do you still care about this moment?" β
The hosta was speechless and had to retreat.
Murong Shen's personal guards walked faster. In an instant, it was gone.
In the small backyard, there are only Zhao Xiyan and Murong Shen left.
The weather was a bit hot and dry, and the sun was blazing. Zhao Xiyan had just come out of the secret room, and her clothes and hair were a little messy. His expression was unusually calm, without a trace of crampedness.
Murong looked at Zhao Xiyan cautiously for a long time, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that we would meet again after such a long time." β
Zhao Xiyan's expression was indifferent: "I have been 'sick' for so long and have not shown up, there must be a lot of rumors outside, perhaps, it has reached Xu Jing's ears." Your goal has been achieved, and you should be complacent. Who are you showing such a disappointed face now? β
Murong Shen: "......"
He never thought that Zhao Xiyan would speak so badly to him.
"What? Hurt by a few words? β
Zhao Xiyan sneered, and a dark flame flashed in his black eyes. These days, she is not not anxious, nor is she not angry. It's just that I don't want to show my emotions, and I haven't been holding back.
At this moment, she no longer had any worries, and she no longer had the idea of forbearance and restraint, and her words were like sharp arrows: "Murong Shen, don't show this affectionate appearance, it will only make me feel disgusting." β
"I used to feel a little guilty about you occasionally. Now, I don't want to see you again at all. β
"You are arrogant, self-righteous, obstinate, and disgusting."
"I am not a bird in a cage, I am a living person, I have my own dignity and pride, I have a favorite teenager, and I have my own life that I yearn for. Why do you think that I am imprisoned here, and what affection can I have for you? β
The disgust in Zhao Xiyan's eyes stabbed Murong Shen's chest like a sharp arrow.
Murong Shen didn't even notice that he took a step back: "Xiyan! I didn't mean to hurt you. β
Zhao Xiyan smiled coldly: "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say such things now?" β
"Attacked my best friend, forced me to come, and put me under house arrest. Which of these things you've done isn't hurting me? β
"Could it be that just because you didn't take me by force, I should be grateful to you?"
Murong Shen: "......"
Intense pain flashed in Murong Shen's eyes. However, he is determined and will never be defeated by a few words. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "You have been sick for so long, it is indeed time to go back to the Zhao Mansion." I have come today to say goodbye to you. I will go to Jizhou on the orders of the emperor to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing. β
Zhao Xiyan's brows did not move, and his voice was like ice: "Murong Shen, from now on, you and I will see each other again, we will be enemies." β
With that, he turned and left.
Murong Shen didn't say anything, he stood in place, and just watched Zhao Xiyan's figure go away.
β¦β¦
The hosta caught a glimpse of the master's figure, and immediately rushed over with red eyes.
"I'm fine." Zhao Xiyan softly comforted the hosta, then raised his head and said to Xu San and the others, "Let's leave now." β
Xu San was still immersed in the great joy of finding his future mother, and subconsciously opened his mouth to ask, "Where to go?" β
Without waiting for Zhao Xiyan to speak, he patted his forehead vigorously: "The little one is happy and confused, so naturally he wants to go back to the Zhao Mansion." β
Zhao Xiyan said: "No, go to the Grange first." β
Do a full set of plays. Whether others believe it or not, she has to come out of the grange with great fanfare, and then pick an auspicious day to return to Zhao's mansion.
Xu San reacted at this time, and immediately responded: "Yes, the small one will be arranged immediately." β
Several families in Hulu Alley locked their doors, and a few mischievous children were also locked up in their homes. Not even a single one could look through the crack in the door.
I don't know where Xu San got a carriage, Zhao Xiyan got out of the house and got into the carriage. Soon the carriage departed.
From beginning to end, Murong Shen never showed up again.
Along the way, a group of pro-soldiers were extremely cautious, and there were more than 100 escorts accompanying them.
After leaving the city gate, Zhao Xiyan's tense nerves were slightly relieved. As soon as I turned my head, I saw that the hosta had fallen asleep against the wall of the carriage.
These days, the hosta can't eat and sleep well, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight. At this time, he fell asleep, and there were two green shadows under his eyes.
Zhao Xiyan was distressed and funny, did not make a sound to disturb, leaned on the carriage, and also fell asleep.
The official road outside the city gate was wide and flat, and the carriage traveled fast and steady.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
The carriage continued to move smoothly.
Zhao Xiyan lifted the curtain: "Xu San, it's not suitable to walk when it's dark, find a post house to rest for one night and then hurry." β
The Zhao family's grange is on the outskirts of the capital, and it takes two or three days to travel. No matter how anxious you are, you can't rush overnight.
Xu San gave the order in a low voice and sent someone to the post house in front of him to make arrangements.
Three days later, Zhao Xiyan arrived at the grange.
Begonia rushed over and hugged her master, and her eyes were swollen into peaches from crying. The little maids Marigold and Primrose couldn't grab the begonias, and they each pulled Zhao Xiyan's sleeves and cried.
The coachman Li Erhe also wiped his tears on the side.
Several of them came to the Grange to serve their master to recuperate.
Looking at the familiar faces, Zhao Xiyan's heart was sour, and he said softly: "Don't cry." I'm cured, and we'll be back in two days. β
Everyone was very emotional, and she was also a little tired, so she had to rest for a few days before leaving.
After settling down, Zhao Xiyan called Xu San over and asked carefully about the situation in the past few months.
Xu Sanyi replied one by one: "...... The little one followed the girl's instructions and only told Zhao Shilang. Several county gentlemen didn't know. On the Shizi's side, the little one has been hidden. β
"More than half a month ago, the prince sent someone back to deliver the letter, insisting that it must be handed over to the girl in person. The little one really couldn't hide it, so he wrote a letter and told the truth. β
After receiving the letter, the prince left only some people to serve as a faΓ§ade, and sent back all the people who could be used. With enough manpower, the little one can find the girl so quickly. β
Speaking of Xu Jing, Zhao Xiyan's heart seemed to be clenched, with a hint of obscurity in his sweetness.
