Chapter 52
After Yaojuan returned the chess pieces to Lei Yuan, she expected that he would go to confirm the number of chess pieces again, and then she would know that she already knew about his visit to Baili, and the master once said that when a person's most important secret is known by others, if the two of them are not suitable to be friends, they can only become enemies. She and Lei Yuan were not friends in the first place, and she was not sure if what she had just known would pose a threat to Lei Yuan, and all she could do at this time was to leave the mountain immediately while he was undecided.
After going out of the Tai'an Palace, Yaojuan immediately returned to the room, hastily packed up her things, avoided the eyes and ears of Lei Yuan in the palace, and went down the mountain directly.
She hurried back to Baili when it was completely dark.
Yaohuan didn't alarm others, she quietly returned to the bamboo house, and when she was about to sneak in, she was startled by the white qi that suddenly came out behind her.
Bai Qian looked at Yao's eyes, shocked and afraid, as if she had seen a ghost: "High priest?"
Yaowan turned around, sighed and said, "It's me, I'm back." ”
Bai Qi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yaojuan's sleeve and said, "High Priest, you are finally back. ”
Yaowan shook the goosebumps on her body and said, "Bai Qi, but I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't need to do this." ”
Bai Qi hurriedly said, "High Priest, where have you been? The king can't find you, and he's going crazy." ”
Yaohuan approached the bamboo house and replied, "I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around the neighborhood casually, I only left here for a few days, how to say it is as if I haven't seen each other for more than ten years." ”
Bai Qi followed behind her and said to herself: "The high priest has been gone for ten days, and he has not left a message, Bai Qi thinks that the high priest is leaving us again." ”
Yaojuan walked to the couch and sat down, looked at Bai Qi and said with a smile: "What, you are very reluctant to me?"
Bai Qian nodded and said, "Yes, since the high priest is back, let's go to the king first." ”
Yaohuan shook her head.
Bai Qi seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, looked at Yaohuan suspiciously, and asked, "The high priest does not want to see the king?"
Yaojuan remained motionless: "You go out and take a look at the sky outside, what time is this, your king should have rested." "Besides, there is a difference between men and women after all, when I go to see Xuan Xuan at this time, won't others gossip?
Bai Qi said with some disappointment: "Oh, I see. ”
Seeing Bai Qian's sad face, Yaowan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Qian shook his head desperately and said, "It's nothing. ”
Yaojuan was wearing a wide men's dress, she took a good time to straighten the sleeves that were about to fall down, and continued: "Just say what you have, I don't like the way others are swallowing and spitting." ”
Bai Qi looked down at himself and asked, "How does the high priest know that I have something to ask?"
Yao smiled and said, "If it's okay, will you die here and not leave?"
Bai Qi bit his lip and said, "The high priest guessed correctly, there are indeed some things in the clan, and the king has been upset about these things these days. ”
Yaohuan said, "Is it something important?"
Bai Qi said in a mournful voice: "Mrs. Yao is gone. ”
Yaojuan stood up abruptly and asked, "When did it happen?"
Bai Qi bowed his head and said, "On the second day when the high priest left Bai Li?"
Yaowan groaned, "How could it be so coincidental on the second day?"
Bai Qi said: "The maid found it at breakfast time. ”
Yaojuan asked, "What about Xuanyu, and how did he react?"
Bai Qian shook his head and said: "This matter is very strange, Mrs. Yao is the biological mother of Prince Xuanyu, but when Prince Xuanyu knew about this matter, he was not very sad, he just knelt quietly in front of Mrs. Yao's spirit, and did not speak from beginning to end. ”
Yaohuan asked, "Have you found anything unusual?"
Bai Qi replied: "I don't know, we have not seen the body of Mrs. Yao, and the king does not allow the attendants to talk to each other. ”
Yaojuan said, "What about Mrs. Yao's body?"
Bai Qi said: "I was buried yesterday. ”
Yaohuan exclaimed, "So fast?"
Bai Qi replied: "The king said that it is the scorching heat now, so it is better to let the lady enter the earth as soon as possible." ”
Yaowan nodded and asked, "What about Xuanyu, what does Xuanyu say?"
Bai Qian looked at Yaowan and said, "The second prince didn't say anything, just nodded. ”
Yaowan thought for a while, and asked with some uneasiness, "Do you know the cause of Mrs. Yao's death?"
Bai Qi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, among the white orioles, only the king and the second prince should know." ”
Yaohuan asked, "What about Tu Shanmiao?"
Bai Qi said: "After attending Mrs. Yao's funeral yesterday, Lord Dharma Protector left Bai Li. ”
Yaohuan was slightly stunned and said, "Did she say where she went?"
Bai Qian shook his head again and replied, "I haven't seen the Dharma Protector in the past few days, but I heard from a few good sisters that the Dharma Protector has been with the king these days. ”
Yaojuan asked, "What are they doing in one place?"
Bai Qi said a little indifferently: "It should be the high priest who ordered that the Dharma Protector should perform the duties on your behalf during your absence." ”
Yao Wan questioned: "Are you sure that the two of them are often in one place just for political affairs?" Before she left, she had seen that Tu Shanmiao and Xuan Xuan behaved intimately, and it was not at all like what Bai Qian said.
Bai Qian nodded seriously and said, "If this is not the case, then why does she follow the king every day?"
Yao sighed, "How old are you this year?"
Bai Qi counted with his fingers, and replied very seriously: "After this month, I will be sixteen years old." ”
Yaojuan said: "It turns out that you are only sixteen, no wonder you don't understand." ”
Bai Qi hurriedly stuck up and said, "I don't understand anything?"
Yaowan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, it's so late, I'm going to rest, you should go back early." ”
Bai Qi was still struggling in place, but was directly pushed out of the door by Yaojiao.
Yaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "It's only been more than ten days since I left here, how can this Bai Qi seem to have changed, and some of them can't talk endlessly." ”
She thought about what Bai Qi said, shook her head, and muttered: "You are only sixteen years old, of course you don't understand this matter of men and women, besides, I am more than 30,000 this year, and I haven't figured it out yet, what's going on." ”
She turned back to the couch and closed her eyes to rest, but after a cup of tea, she leaned back on the couch and fell asleep.
Yaowan rode the clouds, came out of the divine realm, and when she walked to an endless wasteland, one of them did not step steadily, but fell from the clouds.
There was no one around, only the sound of Miao's breathing, she turned to look around, and there were only a few dying sea buckthorn trees around, dying in this uninhabited wasteland.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding land was dry and barren, the heat was pressing, and the surrounding air was dull and abnormal, pressing heavily on the top of people's heads, and Miaohuan felt a little breathless.
This is a land that can only make people feel despair, even the legendary Netherworld Blood Sea where birds and beasts do not come is not as good as it, even if the gods come, they are afraid that they are not willing to stay longer, because there is no life in this place, maybe there is no life here.
Yaohuan was about to leave in the clouds, but a voice sounded in her ears at this time: "Long time no see." ”
The voice was low and hoarse, flickering far and near, as if it was still somewhat familiar, and she felt that she should have heard his voice somewhere.
This hoarse voice was like a magic sound, echoing in Yaojuan's mind, and Yaojuan shivered and involuntarily retreated.
The source of this sound was the mysterious person with a vague face who had appeared in her dreams.
She quickly calmed down and asked in the direction where the voice came from, "Is that you?"
He immediately replied, "Do you remember me?"
Yao Yao hurriedly looked around and asked, "Where is this?"
As soon as the words fell, a black mist appeared from the sky, quickly moved to Yaojuan's side, its voice was extremely clear, as soon as it spoke, a cold voice quickly drilled into Yaojuan's ears: "You should know where this is." ”
Yaohuan looked around vigilantly, and said unhurriedly: "Joke, I haven't been here before, how do you know where this is?"
The black mist churned in the air, and a shrill laugh echoed in the air: "It doesn't matter, you'll know, you'll know soon." ”
Yaohuan continued: "What do you mean?"
The black mist stopped in the air ten steps away from Yaojiao, and said, "This is the land of eternal calamity without life and death, where it is, only you know between heaven and earth." ”
Yaohuan's heart was beating wildly, and she asked with a panicked expression: "What do you mean, you make it clear." ”
He suddenly laughed and said, "You are an immortal, how can you not understand what I said?"
Yaohuan hurriedly went to get the fire spirit bead in her sleeve, and after looking for a long time, but she didn't find anything, she clasped her hands and asked, "Who are you, why do you keep following me?"
The man said, "You forgot about me so quickly?"
Yaojuan was shocked, looked at him and asked, "Could it be that we know each other?"
The man said, "You really don't remember?"
Still looking at the black mist with vigilance, she shook her head and said, "Since Your Excellency said so, then we must know each other, if you don't show your true colors, I can't guess who you are." ”
Before Yaohuan's words fell, the mist immediately condensed into a ball, fell in front of Yaojuan, and then gradually dispersed, where it disappeared, but there stood a young and handsome man in a dark shirt, as far as the dress was concerned, it was a little familiar.
Yaowan stared at him for a long time, but what she saw was still a blurred face.
The man walked up to Yaojuan and said softly, "Are you okay?"
Yaojuan stared at the man with a clear outline in front of her with wide eyes, and finally remembered who he was.
