"Second brother."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shaoxia, as an assassin, was stupid, and Prince Le, who was sitting on the side and watching the play leisurely, was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood up and walked to the door.

The fighting outside the door stopped.

The woman put the unsheathed sword back on the table, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and the emotion in her voice did not know whether it was grievance or the joy of seeing her relatives.

Xiao Shaoxia stared at it, the face of the gorgeously dressed noble princess had a little bit of her own little sister's appearance, but it was a little less youthful and arrogant, and more supple and indifferent.

"You...... Younger sister! ”

"Second brother, it's my ......"

It's been three years, and since she entered the Lewang Mansion, a full three years have passed. In the past three years, she has been forced to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which she has not loved since she was a child, and she has been forced to dress up as another person.

Time goes back to three years ago, when the little sister of the Xiao family was just a stupid girl who was a little stunned, she was bewitched by others, thinking that the prince of Le who lived in Jiangzhou was a heinous villain, so she gathered a group of chivalrous people who had a good relationship with her, and infiltrated the palace of King Le, intending to kill the prince of music.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, although she broke into the back house of King Le's mansion, she happened to break into the boudoir of the sick Princess Le.

The white curtain covered the woman's face, leaving only a slender and thin figure through the shadow, and she covered her mouth and coughed lightly:

"What do you do?"

The voice was weak, revealing an indescribable sense of weakness.

But this sentence was like a gust of fresh wind, which made the little sister of the Xiao family, who was originally holding a sword and preparing to kill in King Le's Mansion, stunned.

The woman in the curtain did not seem to see the cold glowing sword in her hand, but said to the Assassin in the tone of an old friend who had not seen her for a long time:

"There's candy on the table, you taste it."

"Uh......"

The little sister of the Xiao family walked to the table suspiciously, looking at the delicate carved wooden plate with colorful candies arranged in the shape of flowers.

At first glance, it looks like a flower plate in full bloom.

"I have been drinking decoction for the past few days, and he is afraid that my mouth will be bitter, so he has prepared a lot of sweet candies......"

The woman's weak voice was full of strange sweetness, and the little sister of the Xiao family at that time didn't understand what the reason for that heartfelt sweetness came from.

"You eat it, it tastes so sweet I don't like it, so I haven't moved much."

Although the woman said that she didn't like it, she couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth.

Oh.

The little sister of the Xiao family plucked a bright red petal from the delicate flowers, and the thin petals were wrapped in a layer of crystal syrup, which looked particularly cute and attractive.

Click.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, there was a crisp click between the hard syrup shell on the outside and the teeth, and then it instantly melted into the mouth, followed by the smell of petals inside.

The outer layer of sugar coating is very sweet, but the petals inside have a little fruity taste, a little sour, and after the sourness, it is the sweetness of the fruit, which looks extra sweet against the backdrop.

The taste of pomegranate.

It was pomegranate season, but it was the first time she had eaten such a delicious candy with a sweet and sour taste of pomegranates.

For the sake of his princess, Prince Le specially invited a sugar master from the capital, and his ancestors passed on the skills of five generations.

You can pick fresh fruit petals, store them first, and when the fruit is ripe, squeeze out the full juice to soak the petals, and when the petals have the taste of fruit, you need to wrap a layer of syrup in the boiling syrup. This coat should not be thick, otherwise it will cover the color and taste of the petals themselves. It can't be too thin, otherwise the candy won't be crystal clear.

This can only be done simply by looking at kung fu.

"If it's delicious, eat a few more pieces, I usually eat one or two pieces, this thing can't be left overnight, someone will dump it after an hour......"

The woman tried hard to prop up her upper body, opened the corner of the curtain with her hand, and then looked at the girl standing at the table in a daze, and said with a smile:

"No one is stealing it from you."

By the time the woman said this, the little sister of the Xiao family had already stuffed three or four candy petals into her mouth, and each petal of a different color had a different taste.

Each piece is like a ripe fruit falling from a branch directly into your mouth, and then disappearing between your teeth and tongue with its fragrance.

The little sister of the Xiao family loves sweets the most since she was a child, whether it is all kinds of pastries or folk sugar people and sugar gourds, she can't love them so much.

She was eating merrily when she heard the sound of a window being pushed open.

"Xiao Nuxia, did you kill that dog prince?"

The person who came was also a tall woman, holding two swords in her hands, and her eyes quickly scanned the room, and then soon found the woman lying in the bed curtain.

"I heard that Princess Le has been sick for many years, it seems that it is you."

Airplanes!

As soon as the twin swords shook, the tall woman walked directly to the bed around the white curtain.

The woman quietly clenched the corner of the brocade quilt, she didn't shout for help, since the other party had come to this place, it meant that the guards arranged near this place had been resolved.

When it came to life and death, Princess Le was extremely calm.

She even pulled several soft pillows behind her to keep herself in a comfortable position of half-backing and half-sitting.

While!

Miss Xiao subconsciously blocked the twin swords attacked by the tall woman, and she blocked the front of the white bed curtain with her long sword horizontally.

"Lady Xiao, what are you doing here? She is the woman of the dog prince who does all kinds of evil, and she is definitely not a good person! ”

The tall woman posed as a double snake out of the hole, and her eyes stared sharply at the little sister of the Xiao family who was blocking in front of her.

"No ......"

The little sister of the Xiao family didn't know why she made a move, maybe she felt in her heart that the woman who invited her to eat candy would definitely not be a bad person, so she subconsciously blocked the sword.

She ...... It's good guys. ”

"Hahaha, the people in the Lewang Mansion are all evil, where can there be any good people......"

The tall woman made a direct move, one sword pointed at the wrist of the little sister of the Xiao family, and the other sword approached Princess Le who was lying on the bed.

While!

After all, the little sister of the Xiao family is from the Xiao family in Jinling, and the Xiao family in Jinling is one of the four largest martial arts families in the rivers and lakes today, and it is a double sword.

She easily slammed the sword that the tall woman stabbed at with the blade, and then the tip of the sword slammed into the tall woman's other sword.

"Don't kill her, she's really a good person."

"Well, she's a good person, she's a good person...... I want her to die, too! ”

Sou!

The little sister of the Xiao family secretly screamed that it was not good, this was the voice of the hidden weapon, she was too close to the tall woman, and she did not guard against the other party's attack with a hidden weapon, so she was directly careless.

Syllable!

The poisoned dart stabbed into the shoulder of the little sister of the Xiao family, and she immediately felt a numbness in her shoulder, and the anesthetic spread along her shoulder directly to her arm, and after a while, her right hand could not be raised.

"Haha, it's not over if you kill her, it's just a bad old lady's business at this time."

The tall woman smiled and used the long sword in her hand to cut the white curtain in front of her, and the curtain reached the ground, like a layer of snow.

"Tut-tut, everyone says that Princess Le is alluring to the country and the city, so Lord Le doesn't accept concubines for you, and even doesn't raise a dancing girl at home......"

The tall woman did not rush to kill Princess Le, but first made a judgment, although Princess Le, who was half-sitting on the bed, had an indifferent face, she did not panic at all.

But years of bedridden have made her skin a sickly pale, without a trace of blood. Emaciated to the point that there is not much flesh on the cheeks anymore, the cheekbones on both sides are high and bulging, and the eye sockets are deep-set, with a deep exhaustion.

No matter how you look at the woman in front of her, she has nothing to do with the legendary beautiful princess.

"You shouldn't be an ordinary charlatan."

Princess Le sat on the bed, obviously she was inferior but took the initiative in terms of momentum, she was not like a prisoner who was about to be killed, but a law enforcement officer who came to interrogate the prisoner.

"It's worthy of Princess Le, I still have this bit of eyesight."

The tall woman kicked the little sister of the Xiao family who was in the way in front of her to the side, and then raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Le with an interesting face.

"Are you a barbarian from the north, or from the capital......"

Although the Great Qi State unified the human race, there was still a small number of human races in the grasslands and deserts in the northwest to form a small country, calling themselves the Great Fierce Country, and the Great Qi people only called them barbarians. Within the barbarians, there was a very strict class system, and their so-called nobles could do whatever they wanted, while the so-called inferior people could only be driven like slaves.

Just like the wolves on the grassland, the head wolf enjoys the most delicious food and the reproductive rights of all female wolves, and the other wolves can only be driven by the head wolf.

Because they have no courtesy, righteousness and shame, they are called barbarians.

"I'm from the capital."

The tall woman generously admitted her origin, and then lifted the sword in her hand and approached Princess Le's bed.

"Do you think someone is going to save you? No, my people have fenced off this small courtyard, and if there is danger, it will warn you, and if Lord Le's men and horses can't rush in, I will be able to kill you. ”

Boom!

As he was talking, suddenly the door of the main house was slammed open, and then a cold wind blew, followed by several breaking sounds.

It was the sound of a crossbow.

Syllable! An arrow pierced the tall woman's back, and she immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, but instead of falling, she quickly raised the sword in her hand and slammed it into the bed.

Poof.

It was the sound of a sword tightening into a brocade quilt.

"Xiaoxiao!"

With an urgent cry, Lord Le strode in, he didn't even glance at the tall woman who was still struggling on the ground, and staggered directly to the bed.

"You, you just like to call people's names and yell so loudly."

The woman smiled lightly and said coquettishly.

Princess Le's real name is Ling Xiaoxiao, but since marrying Lord Le, she has rarely had the opportunity to use this name. Although their Ling family is indeed a famous family, because she is weak and far away in Jiangcheng, she has never returned to Ning Province.

Naturally, relatives at home have little contact.

Wang Ye Le looked at the sword inserted in the brocade quilt, and the bright red color that slowly seeped out from the crack in the brocade quilt, and he felt as if his heart had been hit by a huge iron hammer.

"Xiaoxiao, you'll be fine, you'll be fine......"

Lord Le couldn't take care of his demeanor anymore, and shouted outside the house in a panic:

"Go to the doctor! Fast! ”

"You, why are you so out of shape, and you still like to cry like you did when you were a child......"

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the tears that couldn't stop flowing down Wang Ye's face, so she gently wiped them with her slender fingers, but she didn't expect to wipe more and more.

"You're going to be fine, you're going to be ......"

Lord Le had completely lost his square inches, crying like a child, and repeating this sentence in his mouth.

Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head, her consciousness had never been so clear, she first pointed her finger at the little sister of the Xiao family who had already fainted on the side.

"She's a good person, save her."

"Good...... Good...... Save her. ”

Lord Le repeated Ling Xiaoxiao's words, and then he heard the latter continue to point to the half-conscious assassin who had lost too much blood on the ground and said:

"She's actually a barbarian, and when I asked her just now, she showed a momentary disgust when she heard about the barbarians......

"Okay, I know it, don't say it again, don't talk so much anymore......"

"Hee-hee, it's the first time I've said so much in front of you. I'm so happy......"

Ling Xiaoxiao struggled hard to lie on the shoulder of Lord Le, and the wound she tore under the brocade was also in severe pain at the same time, but she only frowned.

"Xiaoxiao, don't move, be obedient, and you'll be fine when the doctor comes......"

"Jiang Chang'an ......"

That was Lord Le's name, and it was the first time she had called him that.

"You must live well, live a long life, and have a full house of children and grandchildren. Will you promise me? ”

Ling Xiaoxiao gradually began to blink her eyes, she began to be surrounded by a feeling of powerlessness and sleepiness, she knew that once she really fell asleep, she might never wake up again.

"Okay, okay, as long as you say it, I'll promise ......"

"Hee-hee, if you promise me, you must ...... Do...... to ......"

The beautiful woman on her shoulder gradually lost her breath, as if she was asleep.

Sleep, she's just too tired, only leaning on the shoulder of her beloved can she sleep so sweetly, even if she can't wake up again.

The sobbing sound gradually sounded, and King Le grabbed the brocade quilt that had been completely stained red with blood, and tried to close his eyes, but the tears still flowed out disobediently.

"Don't ...... Leave me behind. ”

……

After a few days, a group of uninvited guests came to the Lewang Mansion.

"Lord Wang, they are all people from the side branch of the Ling family, and they said that they came to visit Princess Le's condition......"

"How's that girl's injury?"

Lord Le held the celadon teacup and said in question.

"The person has woken up, and there is no major physical problem, but he needs to stay in bed for a few days......"

"Okay, I got it."

Lord Le stood up, and the white-sheathed long sword hung from his waist.

"Lord Wang, those people outside the door ......"

"Don't they want to see Princess Le, then let them meet!"
