Chapter 56: Locked in the Cold Palace (2)

Seeing that Xiao Wu's attitude softened, Qingtian saw the turn of reconciliation, and he took advantage of the victory and asked, "Xiao Wu, this gentleman has nothing to do today, stay and dine with you."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ...... Unruly"

"Okay, in private, Benjun doesn't need you to abide by any rules, as long as you feel comfortable and happy, it's just decided, Yiyi, Yiyi......", Qingtian said with doting in his tone, and without waiting for Xiao Wu to refuse, he made a decision.

"In!", Yiyi responded, ran in from outside the hall, like a happy yellow butterfly, and saw the prince and saluted generously.

Qingtian arranged with joy on his face: "Yiyi, Benjun stays for dinner, you can prepare it well."

"Yes!", Yiyi agreed, and left with a smile

Xiao Wu felt that she was alive, and she was heartless, but she could enjoy herself anywhere, and she didn't know what to worry about, she felt that she was still too heavy to live, and Xiao Wu began to envy Yiyi's carefreeness.

It was the first time to dine with Qingtian, Xiao Wu looked very restrained, Qingtian waved his sleeves and took out a small pot of wine, glanced at Xiao Wu, who was not very comfortable, and said: "It stands to reason that you are injured and can't drink, but Benjun thinks, you may want to drink this osmanthus wine."

Xiao Wu's eyes were full of longing, staring at the wine in Qingtian's hand, and said, "Wine is also good, it doesn't hurt to drink some."

"Okay, let's have a drink for each person."

After only pouring two glasses of wine, the small wine jug was empty, and when Qing Tian saw Xiao Wu's eyes showing regret, the corners of his mouth suddenly smiled, and he said dotingly: "Okay, when you are healed, you will be given as much as you want to drink."

Xiao Wu stared at the wine in the cup sadly, remembering that she had an intersection with the prince, was punished as a scholar, and made herself look like a ghost today, all of which were caused by this osmanthus wine. If she hadn't gone to the Moon Palace that day to beg for a drink, Guiyan and Zixiao wouldn't have been drunk, she wouldn't have met Qingtian, and she wouldn't have been punished for a hundred years as a slave, her fate should be completely different from now, should she hate this osmanthus wine? Or hate herself for being greedy for a cup at a thought?

Wine is the root of all evil, and that's true.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Wu knelt in front of Qingtian, picked up the wine glass with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Wu understands that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved me from fire and water, and my great kindness and great virtue cannot be reciprocated, so I use this glass of wine to honor Your Highness...... If His Royal Highness sends anything in the future, Xiao Wu will definitely die even if he has a liver and brain, and he will never give up", after that, Xiao Wu drank it all like a hero.

Qingtian sat upright, stared at Xiao Wu silently, and said softly: "Benjun, I don't need you to be grateful, and I don't need you to be grateful, I just want ...... Your sincerity!", and after that, Qingtian also drank it all.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Qingtian's eyes were firm, but Xiao Wu's eyes were dodging and panicking, and Qingtian could see Xiao Wu's inner struggle.

Qingtian broke the silence, "Xiao Wu, look, Yiyi has made so many dishes, let's try it."

Qingtian said while giving Xiao Wu cloth vegetables, except for persuading Xiao Wu to eat more, the two had no communication, and Qing Tian was willing to give Xiao Wu more time to think.

After dinner, Yan Wen sent the official document to be dealt with, Qingtian began to get busy, and Xiao Wu sent Yan Wen out of the palace together.

Yan Wen was very sympathetic to Xiao Wu's plight, and he asked with concern: "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with your injury?

"Oh, I'm fine...... Xingjun, I want to ask, how is the investigation of the case? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this matter has been handed over to Xingjun to be responsible", Xiao Wu finished speaking, and waited for an answer.

After hearing this, Yan Wen's eyes blinked, and he thought to himself, how could the prince throw this pot of complaining on himself? How could there be results when there was no investigation at all? How could this stupid girl see through the prince's thoughts? Yan Wen was secretly bitter in his heart, and hurriedly prevaricated: "This, that...... Checking ...... It takes time, Xiao Wu, you have to be patient, wait...... Wait."

Yan Wen seemed to think of something, and hurriedly changed the topic and reminded: "By the way, Xiao Wu, you can survive this time, but thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... This is the first time I have seen him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not follow the rules...... You've got to know it!"

Xiao Wu was all focused on her own affairs, and she didn't listen to Yanwen's pun at all, "Xingjun must not want to be impersonated and wronged...... Besides, this is a major matter related to the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Xingjun should be more attentive...... Xiao Wu implored Xingjun to investigate the case as soon as possible, and return Xiao Wu's innocence and freedom."

"That'...... You're on your own!"

The corners of Yan Wen's mouth twitched twice, and he glanced at Xiao Wu meaningfully, feeling that a girl who is usually quite smart, how could she be so slow to react in the matter of feelings? He had no choice but to shake down this sentence, and then shook his head and left.

Xiao Wu still didn't chew on the meaning of Yanwen's words, and walked into the hall in despair, kneeling next to Qingtian, wanting to help.

Qingtian overheard the conversation between the two, and when he saw Xiao Wu coming back like frost, he sighed helplessly, and said softly: "There are not many performances today, just come by yourself, you can finish studying ink, go to the bed to rest, the injury is not healed, you can't be careless, if you feel bored, read a book."

"Good!"

Xiao Wu found a book on the shelf and held it in his hand, but the person didn't walk away, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I...... I want Zixiao and Guiyan, can I ...... Can you meet them?".

Qingtian put down his pen, turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, and replied, "No!".

After being silent for a while, seeing Xiao Wu's lonely and pitiful appearance, Qingtian seemed to be unbearable, and said: "Guiyan and Zixiao have to leave the palace to seek art, and they will ...... in the future I'm afraid it's hard to see each other again, Benjun...... Will figure it out".

Love is selfless, love is even more selfish, even more cruel!

Qingtian just didn't want to do it without a lot of effort, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and agreed, and if there was a first time, there would be a second time...... For the umpteenth time, he wants to completely break the connection between Zixiao and Xiao Wu, so that Xiao Wu's heart will completely return to him.

"Well, thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince"

Xiao Wu is very naïve, she has the impression in her heart that the prince is standing tall in the sky, broad-minded, and consistent with words and deeds, not only did she not suspect that Qingtian was calculating herself, but she was also grateful to him in her heart.

If you are not afraid of the real bad guys, you are afraid of the fake good guys! The good guys with disguises are the easiest to ignore, but they have great lethality.

Qingtian is doing everything, and in the matter of Xiao Wu, he said that he was bad, and he was not wronged at all.

In order to make Xiao Wu follow him desperately, Qingtian not only broke off the meeting of the three friends, but also personally lobbied and encouraged Tianjun to send Zixiao and Guiyan out of the palace to seek art, and after getting permission, he couldn't wait to find a master for the two. Qingtian is not only jealous of Zixiao, he is also worried that the brothers will become an obstacle for him to get Xiao Wu.

Many nights were spent with Qingtian, Xiao Wu stayed overnight with Qingtian, it was really a headache, and she didn't dare to ask for it, she didn't listen to it, she couldn't deceive and deceive, and she couldn't hide and hide.

If Qingtian is lying on the couch, Xiao Wu can only sleep on the couch with the quilt, but he often wakes up, and he who should be on the bed is already lying comfortably beside him. For such a rogue behavior of a dignified prince of the Heavenly Clan, Xiao Wu always felt helpless, such a relationship between the two of them, I am afraid that it is really difficult to distinguish, and it has long been unclear.

Even though Qingtian did it secretly, all this did not escape Weixi's eyes.

Xiao Wu's health is better, and Qingtian only made one request to her, she has to meditate and repair her body for an hour in the morning and evening, and as long as she has time, he will accompany her to practice.

The daytime dance will read and read, and will also chat with Lotte's Yiyi. In the evening, the little dance party did its best to help Qingtian review or sort out some chapters and tables, and the days passed in this dull more than 20 days.

One evening, Xiao Wu was sitting in the courtyard, looking up at the sky dyed red by the sunset, in a daze, she unconsciously took out the jade flute, whimpered and blewed, and tears appeared in her eyes.

Qingtian came, reached out to pull Xiao Wu with a lonely face, but when he caught it, a trace of displeasure suddenly flashed on his face, and he angrily grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and took her back to the table in the hall to sit down.

Qingtian knew that Xiao Wu was angry with him, and the case had not come to a conclusion for a long time, so he sighed secretly, took out a palm-sized white round jade pendant from his sleeve, put it on Xiao Wu's hand, and said, "Xiao Wu, Guiyan will go to Lingbao Mountain tomorrow, and Zi Xiao will go to Yaowangfu to learn art, you ...... You can use this...... Talk to them".

Xiao Wu's eyes showed surprise, looked at the jade pendant, and saw that one side was a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, and the other side was as smooth as a mirror. Looking at it, the jade pendant emitted a brilliant green light, and the jade pendant was like a crystal mirror with Guiyan's head and voice, Xiao Wu jumped up excitedly and ran out of the palace door with the jade pendant.

Guiyan was in the mirror, shouting anxiously, "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu ......."

Zixiao's head shadow also appeared on the mirror, also shouting, "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!".

can see the two friends, Xiao Wu is mixed feelings, tears like rain, trembling and choking, "Zi Xiao...... Guiyan!".

"Xiao Wu, don't cry! Zi Xiao knows...... You are aggrieved and uncomfortable, don't cry", Zi Xiao persuaded with tears, and then disappeared from the screen.

Guiyan appeared in the mirror again, with tears in his eyes, "Xiao Wu, don't cry, we all understand that you have been wronged...... It's a pity that Zixiao and I have to go out tomorrow to learn from the teacher, and we can't help you...... But don't worry, the prince's brother has already agreed, and he will definitely return your innocence."

When Guiyan said this, he had received Qingtian's assurance, saying that he would definitely give justice to Xiao Wu and return her innocence.

How does Gui Yan know his eldest brother's true thoughts, whether Xiao Wu can be released, when he will be released? In fact, it completely depends on Xiao Wu herself, depending on when she agrees to become his brother's woman.

Xiao Wu gradually calmed down and began to explain, "Zixiao, Guiyan, I'...... I didn't say goodbye because I was afraid that everyone would be sad...... You two have done so much for me, let me ...... How to repay ?...... Wherever you go, I'll ...... I miss you!", Xiao Wu choked up again.

Guiyan couldn't stop wiping her tears, and said indignantly: "Xiao Wu, ...... in the future." If you dare to ignore Zixiao and my feelings, you will run away by yourself, if I let me catch you, I will have to beat you to death...... I can't wait to punch you a few times right now to relieve my anger."

Guiyan looked at Xiao Wu's tears and felt distressed again, "Okay, don't cry! I'm just angry with you, I always want to leave us...... Little girl, I know how to cry and cry, this time, I will forgive you again...... I don't have to worry about the prince's brother protecting you!".

Zixiao's eyes were red, and she appeared on the screen again, "Xiao Wu, be good! don't cry...... Listen to me, I'm closer to you than Guiyan, I will come back to see you often, you relax, you have Zi Xiao here, and you will never allow others to hurt you again...... Zi Xiao will help you continue to investigate the case until you are free."

Zixiao's eyes were full of tears, and Xiao Wu was even more tearful.

Optimus has been eavesdropping on the conversation of the three of them. Qingtian is a gentleman, but when it comes to the exclusivity of love, he is not exempt from vulgarity, this is the best opportunity to possess Xiao Wu, and he will not let any possible situation affect him.

Qingtian suggested to Tianjun that Zi Xiao and Gui Yan be sent out to learn art, and originally selected a master who was more suitable for Zi Xiao's all-round development, but Zi Xiao went to kneel down and beg his father to go to the Medicine King's Mansion to worship the Medicine King as a teacher, seeing that Zi Xiao was so persistent and firm, Tianjun had no choice but to agree. But Qingtian felt that Zi Xiao chose this way because he didn't want to be too far away from Xiao Wu.

Guiyan snatched the mirror and explained: "Xiao Wu, Zi Xiao and I often go to Luoying Palace, but there is an enchantment there, and we can't get in...... Brother Crown said that it was set up to protect you...... Xiao Wu, don't hold a grudge against your eldest brother, he saved you last time."

Zi Xiao looked at the emaciated Xiao Wu in the mirror, grabbed the mirror, and asked distressedly, "Xiao Wu, how are you injured? Why did you lose weight like this? Is there something wrong?...... Brother Crown promised that he would take care of you."

Xiao Wu was afraid that the two of them would be worried, so she hurriedly replied: "I'm fine, really! My injuries are all healed...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated me very well and sent someone to take care of me...... Don't worry, I'll be fine...... Don't forget, I ...... But Lu Xiaowu is a dead penny grass that can be thrown anywhere and burned, and the skin is solid."

Listening to Xiao Wu's miserable words, Zi Xiao's heart was sad, and tears couldn't help but flow out again, she should have been a golden branch and jade leaf, how could she be a wild artemisia grass?

Xiao Wu wiped her tears from her sleeve and continued: "It's you two, you must take care of yourself outside, if you are injured, sick, or thin, don't think about seeing me!"

Xiao Wu had a smile on the corner of her mouth, persuading Zixiao and Guiyan, but tears kept flowing in her eyes. She didn't know how long she would have to be imprisoned? In this prison-like Luoying Palace, without two friends by her side, she didn't know how she would survive in the future.

Qingtian listened to Xiao Wu's words, and he was also sad, he hoped that Xiao Wu could commit himself as soon as possible, and he didn't want her to suffer in Luoying Palace.

Guiyan interjected: "Xiao Wu, we will take care of ourselves, you are in Yongzheng Palace, wait for us to come back."

Xiao Wu stopped her tears, she didn't want Zi Xiao and Gui Yan to worry before leaving, "We won't meet here, with the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I believe that it won't be long before the truth will be ascertained, and then, I will be able to leave...... It's inconvenient for you to come out to learn art, so I'll go look for you both."

Zi Xiao asked nervously, "Are you leaving Yongzheng Palace?"

"Yes! I'm going to the world...... When Cui'er and I have chosen a place to stay, I will go to find you two and come to my house as guests."

After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Qingtian's heart suddenly felt like a big stone, and he clutched his chest and gasped heavily.

Guiyan was silent for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, why do you have to leave Yongzheng Palace? Brother Crown Prince is so good to you, can't you stay? It will be very dangerous to go to the world."

"I hate it here...... Is there a more dangerous place in the world than here?"

Zi Xiao diverted the topic, "Xiao Wu, you have internal injuries now, and you can't leave yet." I want you to learn more medical skills so that you can also have the ability to protect and support yourself."

"Okay!Zixiao, I'll listen to you"

"Then it's decided, I will prepare some medical books for Yanwen Xingjun to bring to you, Xiao Wu, I know that you are in a difficult situation, and your heart is very bitter...... However, now that you have grown up, you have to learn to face it alone, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future. The only thing I want you to do is to take care of yourself...... Treier, don't worry, I'll visit her regularly...... Remember, Zi Xiao will always worry about you...... No matter where you go in the future, I'll look for you, Zixiao is here, you don't have to worry about the future, understand?"

Xiao Wu's words from Zi Xiao moved her tears again, "I know, Zi Xiao...... Xiao Wu knows".

"Xiao Wu, you must take care of yourself......", as the bright green light disappeared, Zixiao's worried face slowly disappeared.

"Zi Xiao! Gui Yan...... Zi Xiao", Xiao Wu shouted, she couldn't see the image, and she couldn't hear Zi Xiao's voice.

Sitting on the steps, facing the deathly silence, Xiao Wu hugged her head and cried bitterly.

During this period of time, Xiao Wu pretended to have too many grievances in her heart, she pretended to be calm and pretended to be strong, but she knew that she was actually very scared in her heart. was already lonely, and now even Zixiao and Guiyan, who could give her care and comfort, had to leave, how could this not make her grief?

Xiao Wu tasted despair for the first time.

Qingtian stood behind Xiao Wu, looking at the thin back of crying bitterly, he knew that everything that happened to Xiao Wu was caused by him, and seeing her so painful, Qingtian felt guilty and tormented in his heart.

Qingtian put a cloak on Xiao Wu and sat beside her.

Xiao Wu looked at him with tears on his face, he also looked back, and said slowly: "Xiao Wu, in front of Benjun...... You don't have to pretend to be strong, you can cry if you want to, you don't have to hold back."

Like a child who was wronged, and got an apology from his parents, Xiao Wu lay on Qingtian's lap and cried with a "wow", crying heart-rending and heartbreaking...... The entire Luoying Hall was filled with the sound of grief-stricken and heart-wrenching sorrow.

Qingtian could hear Xiao Wu's hoarse howl, and could feel tears wet his robe, and he could also feel her trembling and the pain from being scratched in his arm. Qingtian's eyes were also filled with tears, and she hugged the wronged Xiao Wu tightly, giving her warmth, kissing her hair lightly, and comforting her.

Self-blame and guilt are like thousands of arrows in the heart, stinging the sky.

A violent cough interrupted Optimus's guilt, and he secretly checked Xiao Wu's pulse, and saw that the pulse was already in chaos.

Xiao Wu also stopped crying because of coughing, and staggered to get up, "I'm fine, I'll leave first, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also go back to rest", after speaking, Xiao Wu slowly returned to the hall like an injured lonely goose.

Qingtian was stunned for a moment, just now he was still leaning on his arms, and in the blink of an eye, he was as cold as ice. After hesitating, he still followed up in the hall, and saw Xiao Wu and Yi lying on the couch, from the shaking back, Qingtian knew that she was still crying secretly, even if she was in pain to the point of internal injury, she didn't want him to share it, she was clearly still resentful of him.

The next morning, Yan Wen came to pick up the document sheet approved yesterday, and brought a large stack of books on medicine, herbal medicine, and cultivation that Zi Xiao had given to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu followed as usual to ask about the investigation of Yanwen's case.

Yan Wen still said "It's under investigation, it takes time, wait a little longer", and left in a hurry like a debt.

Looking at Yan Wen's disappearing back, Xiao Wu was full of loneliness, how long would she have to wait?
