Chapter 048: Deep Thought
Although today's Qingchen is doing things with the help of Nie Xinyao's power. But something. After all, you can't let Nie Xinyao know. So I can only send out all the credible people around me. And she was in the small courtyard arranged for her by Nie Xinyao. Thinking about the situation in southern Xinjiang. Or take out any clues you have received from the regent and the second princess about the Holy Land. Occasionally, she also talked to Long Xiang, who came to find her.
"I don't know what the benefactor is doing these days. It's been a long time since I've seen you. Long Xiang held the freshly made pastry. Come to the dusted room. Talk to Qingchen.
Zi Qingchen recovered his daughter's body. Long Xiang no longer called Qingchen a son. but changed his name and called her a benefactor. Qingchen can't help her. I had to let her go.
"You're smart. Naturally, I can see it. I'm from southern Xinjiang. It's not about sightseeing. Naturally there are things to do. Not being in the house is a common thing. It's just the dragon girl. Though I have brought you back. But he never asked you. It is a habit to live in this house. Qingchen asked like a master.
"Benefactor rest assured. I'm used to it. Because of the relationship between benefactors. Her Royal Highness the Sixth Empress also took special care of me. Neither did the people in the house treat me badly. Helped in the kitchen. I also volunteered. Get to know more people. I am happy. Long Xiang said excitedly. "Ever since my mother went. It's the first time I've lived such a peaceful day. ”
"You didn't think about it. Return to the Celestial Star Country. Return to the capital. Your father's side. Qingchen asked curiously. "He is the prime minister of the dynasty. After your mother goes. Naturally, he will protect you. ”
"My father and I were not together since I was a child. All the perception of the word father comes from the mother. Can't go back. What's the matter? There must be a lot of sisters in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Maybe. My father didn't care about me as a daughter. Long Xiang said. There was a hint of gloom in his eyes. Although fleeting. But it was still caught by the dust.
"Dragon Maiden doesn't have to be like this. If you have the opportunity. The girl would like to return to the stars with me. Go see your father. Qingchen suddenly asked.
"But it's true. The benefactor will also return to the Celestial Star. Long Xiang spoke in surprise.
"Nature is true. You're not from southern Xinjiang in the first place. Follow me back when the time comes. There is nothing wrong with that. Qingchen nodded.
"That being the case. Then thank you to the benefactor. Long Xiang smiled. There was gratitude in his eyes.
Qingchen knows. Although Long Xiang pretended not to care about his father Long Ze on the surface. But she's still a little girl. Plus now I have lost my mother. Naturally, I felt lonely in my heart. You need a loved one by your side. In this Six Kings' Mansion. Although no one would hurt her. But no one really cared about what she thought. It was inevitable that she would hear the news of returning to Tianxing. I'm going to be so excited.
Just when the two chatted very well. A dark shadow flashed outside the window. Just for a moment. Tomorrow's figure appeared at the door. Look at the dust. There were some cracks in his normally calm complexion.
"I'm still wondering when you'll be there. I didn't expect it to come so soon. Qingchen looked at tomorrow. There was no intention to guard against dragon incense. That's it.
"Since the benefactor has a guest visiting. I'm not going to stay longer. I made a snack next time. Then give it to the benefactor to taste. Long Xiang looked at the appearance of tomorrow. Although slightly surprised. But he also quickly calmed down. Gently saluted Qingchen. Then he left.
"You shouldn't have been before I came. He sent both Juyu and Nightshade out. Tomorrow looked at Qingchen's unfamiliar face. I know she's changed. But the voice didn't change. He just spoke.
"In this southern Xinjiang. The enemy is in the shadows. I'm also in the shadows. What's more, there are six princesses to protect them. And who can hurt me? You don't have to worry too much. Qingchen shook his head and smiled lightly. "It's you. All the way from Kyoto to Ningzuki. It's been a long time. I'm tired too. Go and rest first. Let's talk back again. ”
"Thank you, landlord. Tomorrow smiled wistfully.
"It's the same as Jiyu. Call me girl. The word landlord. Don't let anyone hear. Qingchen said. "The two wings on the west side. It's the night and the holding. You and Zhao Yan live in the east. ”
Tomorrow nodded. There is no good intention to shirk the dust. He arched his hand. Turning around, he walked in the direction Qingchen was pointing.
He didn't set off with Feng Xiran and Huai Jin. Instead, it was a few days slower. In order to reach southern Xinjiang as soon as possible. Follow Qingchen's side. Tomorrow is almost non-stop. Sleepless day and night. This is how we came here in the shortest possible time. Let's be honest. He was indeed a little tired. Go and rest at this time. It's not disloyalty to the dust. On the contrary, it is to be able to be in the land of tigers and wolves in southern Xinjiang. Better protection for dust removal.
Rao is a person who will practice martial arts tomorrow. Hurry like this. But he also let him stay until nightfall. only to wake up. The moment he opened his eyes. I just heard a movement coming from the dusty yard. He jumped out of bed. Bounced the dust off the body. Hold a long sword in your hand. I opened the door and walked out.
A few dark shadows flashed. Soon enter the dusty room. But no fight was heard. And the familiar shape also lets Tomorrow know. Who is the person who came.
"Girl. "Tomorrow stands at the door. Bow your hand.
Nightshade turned back when he heard the sound. There was joy in his eyes: "Tomorrow." You're here too. Now that's good. The girl has you by her side. I also feel at ease when I go out to run errands. ”
"Don't talk about the old days yet. Qingchen interrupted the conversation between the two. Speak. "What's wrong with Yu Tianqi. ”
Sure enough, someone still found out his whereabouts. When Zhao Yan arrived. Started at the same time as Zhao Yan. And I pretended to do it with Zhao Yan. And deal with the other person. Nightshade replied. "But fortunately, Zhao Yan is smart. While playing with me. and also blocked the man's attack. Let me take advantage of the situation to bring Yu Tianqi out. ”
"Yu Tianqi didn't find anything. Qingchen frowned. asked.
"No, I didn't. When the two sides are playing each other. Yu Tianqi was stunned by that man. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Even if he wakes up. I only remember that I was knocked unconscious. If you see a girl. It must have been thought that the girl had sent someone to save him. Nightshade said.
"That's fine. That's right. DID YOU KNOW. Who is the other party? Qingchen asked.
"I don't see it. However, Zhao Yan fought with that person. He was still fighting the man when I left. It's better to wait for him to come back. The girl asked him again. Nightshade said. As soon as the words fell. Then I heard a noise in the courtyard. Then there was the sound of messy footsteps.
Tomorrow will be the first to react. Go out and have a look. It was Zhao Yan, who was pretending to be Xiao Yi, who came back from outside. Cover your arms with your hands. His face was a little pale.
"Something happened. How can you get hurt. Qingchen saw the wound on Zhao Yan's arm. Eyes full of shock.
"It's the emperor. The man I met with Nightfall. It's the emperor. Zhao Yan opened his mouth low. There was frustration in his eyes.
"Yat Shaw. Qingchen was shocked. "It seems. Nie Xinrou had also found out Yu Tianqi's whereabouts. And he was going to take him away. But. If the other party is Xiao Yat. Why are you only slightly injured? ”
"His purpose is just Yu Tianqi. Seeing Yu Tianqi being taken away by the Night Dead. and they will no longer be troubled by me. It was I who bought time for Nightshade to leave. I have to pester him. Zhao Yan said. "It's just...... I always feel it. The emperor seems to be intent on letting me live. Otherwise, with the emperor's skills. This sword came down. Even if my arm is continuous. It's going to be scrapped too. It's definitely more than that. ”
Hear the words. Qingchen's heart moved. glanced at Zhao Yan. The disguise on his face has not yet been removed. It's still Xiao Yi's appearance. Let Qingchen be in a trance. So she spoke:
"Alright. Now it's good that people are back. Nightfall. You take Zhao Yan down to heal. Take good care of him. Tomorrow. Yu Tianqi will be handed over to you to guard. Wait until he wakes up tomorrow. I still have something to ask him. ”
"Yes. The crowd responded. And they went their separate ways.
Qingchen sat in the room. Bow your head in contemplation. Thoughts were surging in my heart.
Zhao Yan's words undoubtedly set off huge waves in her heart. But she had to be quiet. Because she's still not sure. Xiao Yat is really controlled in the end.
She remembered the birthday banquet at the Seven Kings' Mansion before. She was almost controlled by the illusion of the Seven Princesses. It was a pain in my shoulder. Let her sober up instantly. In a moment of sobriety. In a trance, I saw Xiao Yi's gaze away. At the time, she thought it was her own delusion. But now. Even Zhao Yan, who had been following Xiao Yi's side, felt that Xiao Yi's behavior was a little weird. Then she had to be suspicious.
That's right, too. With Xiao Yat's martial arts. If you want to kill someone. Whether it's her or Zhao Yan. Or tomorrow and night. No one was his opponent. Even before they came to Southern Xinjiang. Xiao Yat is already because of Zhi Lanrui's poison. and was seriously injured by Xiao Ling several times. Unconscious. Dying. But his martial arts. But they have seen it in the dust and tomorrow.
Finally. Xiao Yi was not controlled by Nie Xinrou. Or rather. It's all about it. It's all Xiao Yi's plan.
The thoughts in my head were in chaos. Qingchen didn't know if what he was thinking was right. There was only a deep sigh. I feel helpless. When she heard all the movement in the east and west wings, it gradually dimmed. Gradually tending to be silent. She breathed a sigh of relief. Turn around and walk towards the bed.
It's dark at night. Qingchen lay on the bed. Tossing. I don't know how long it took. Only then did I gradually fall asleep. Appeared in a dream. It was Xiao Yi's indifferent and detached face. It's a far cry from the cynicism of yesteryear. It is also far from the breeze of the moon when I first saw it.
She dreamed. The long sword in Xiao Yi's hand. Straight to her heart. Without hesitation, he stabbed down. In a flash. Blood splattered. Dotted with stars. Blurry eyes. Shocking.
And this scenario. She quickly woke up from her dream. Eyes widened. Looking at the curtain on the bed. Desolate. The scene of Xiao Yi raising his sword and stabbing her heart. It stayed in her mind. Lingering.
"Yat Shaw. You tell me. Is all this true or false. You said I was as important as your life. You can't afford to hurt me in the slightest. But now. What's it? Qingchen muttered. I can only comfort myself without stopping. Dreams are reversed. The mood gradually calmed down.
