Chapter 48: Fate Ties to the Fire Phoenix Sword
Qingtian and Xiao Wu appeared in front of the gate of Xiyi Immortal Mansion, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a dazzling red bean in the light orchid on the edge of the big stone in front of the door.
Qingtian looked at the red beans, and then at Xiao Wu, the corners of his mouth were teasing as if he was smiling, Xiao Wu gave him a blank look in response, and both of them quietly smiled dumbly, and their thoughts were clear.
Entering the gate, Xiao Wu saw the scenery in the Immortal Mansion, except for the trees that were strong and verdant, there were not many changes from when he left.
The water is still clear, the lotus flower under the bridge is blooming, the waterfowl swim in the water in pairs, the birdsong is euphemistic, the most is the big osmanthus tree in front of the palace, the flowers are blooming, the fragrance floats thousands of miles.
"How beautiful is this...... But for this, he was almost beaten to death by the bastards around him, damn it! I really want to whip him for five days", Xiao Wu hated in her heart, and glanced at her angrily, beside her, the dignified Qingtian.
"Bold! Dare to curse Benjun in your heart, is it against me again?"
Qingtian didn't reply, so he shook off his words abruptly, and with a hint of pride in seeing through other people's thoughts, he stepped up the steps of the Yuanji Palace.
Xiao Wu was secretly surprised, how could the prince know what she was thinking? Could it be that he had some mind-reading skills? Seeing that Qingtian didn't look really angry, he was relieved.
Xuanyuan Zhenjun and his eldest apprentice Bingde had already greeted the crown prince in front of the Yuanji Palace, and the three of them saluted each other.
Xiao Wu took a step forward, knelt down on her knees in front of Xuanyuan, and said respectfully: "Lu Xiaowu to see the master, Master Xie has saved his life twice, Master Xie can take Cui'er in, Master Chongqiu Mountain, Xiao Wu will swear to die in revenge", after that, she kowtowed three times in a row.
Regarding Xiao Wu's practice of not changing his mind for a hundred years and calling his master a master, Bingde rolled his eyes angrily, with an unteachable disgusted expression.
Looking at Xiao Wu, who had grown a lot taller and was already a green girl, Xuanyuan had a loving look in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Little Dance girl, you don't have to be so polite, get up."
"Master Xie!"
"Bingde, take Xiao Wu girl to find Cui'er", Xuanyuan arranged for Bingde very knowingly, took Xiao Wu to find Cui'er, and walked into the main hall with Prince Qingtian.
Bingde took Xiao Wu to the courtyard where Xuanyuan lived, where Cui'er was cleaning, Bingde pointed to the room, and said goodbye to Xiao Wu and left.
Xiao Wu slowly walked into Xuanyuan's residence, looked at the back of Cui'er, who was busy, and saw that she was very emaciated, and her heart swelled with sourness.
Cui'er felt that someone had come in, turned her head to look, and was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with tears, she looked up and down at Xiao Wu, who was already a big girl, and knelt down on her knees to plead guilty, "Little master! Little master, a hundred years!? slave maid...... failed to serve left and right, let the little master suffer alone, the slave and maid really deserved death...... Little master, are you alright?".
Xiao Wu also burst into tears, stretched out her hand to pull up the tearful and grief-stricken Cui'er, and pretended to be angry: "I'm fine, really good...... Cui'er, it's all said, don't call it that, otherwise, I'll be really angry...... Cui'er, don't worry about me anymore, I'm grown up, I can take care of myself, you can rest assured...... But you, you must take care of yourself, don't let me worry."
Cui'er looked up and down at the little lord who looked like a flower, and there was a hint of relief on her sad and tearful face, "Okay......! Well, Xiao Wu has grown taller, but she has lost a lot of weight...... Little master, are you really doing well?...... When can we keep Cui'er by our side......? When will you get out of here?".
Cui'er hasn't seen Xiao Wu for nearly a hundred years, she is always worried, Zi Xiao will come to see her once every two months, she can only learn some about Xiao Wu from Zi Xiao's mouth, and they are all good news and not bad news.
Cui'er is not at ease, and often wanders in front of the gate of Yongzheng Palace, hoping to meet Xiao Wu, and occasionally asks Xiao Wu from the mouth of Xian'e who enters and exits, but the answer she always gets is, "I don't know if there is such a person."
Cui'er was very worried, and when she pressed Zixiao again, she was persuaded to quit by his reasoning, and it was nearly a hundred years after coming and going. Cui'er knew that Yongzheng Palace was very big and had many rules in the Heavenly Family, so she couldn't help Xiao Wu, and she must not cause trouble for her.
Prince Qingtian inadvertently revealed in the conversation that he already knew that Xiao Wu had sneaked out of the palace to inform Zi Xiao, and in order to avoid causing trouble, Xiao Wu never left the palace again.
Xiao Wu wiped her tears with her sleeve and replied to her words, "I'm really good......! Soon!Cui'er, if you wait patiently, it won't be long."
"Good! good!"
Xiao Wu took out the pomegranate shortbread she had made, broke a piece and stuffed it into Cui'er's mouth, and asked, "Cui'er, can you taste it...... Is it delicious? I made it myself...... Isn't it great?".
"Well, it's delicious! Xiao Wu made it...... It's delicious!", Cui'er thought that Xiao Wu had to make her own snacks, and she was sad again, and wiped her bitter tears.
"Okay!Cui'er, stop crying, you get busy first, I'll wait for you outside, let's go back to the room and have a good chat."
"Okay, I'll finish it right away, the little lord will sit in the living room"
Xiao Wu returned to the living room, and at first glance saw a sword stand behind the main seat, on which two swords were displayed, at first glance, it was a pair of male and female swords, the scabbard and hilt were dark red, engraved with the pattern of the intertwining of the lotus and the Lianli branch, and the gems were decorated in it.
Xiao Wu was more interested in the slightly narrower female sword, and the dark red jade on the sword was very similar to the jade on his chest, and both emitted the same deep and faint red light.
Unconsciously attracted to walk over, Xiao Wu took off the sword, looked at it carefully, and took out the jade jue on his chest to compare, if the jade quality and color were exactly the same, he suddenly felt that there was a fate.
Xiao Wu pulled out the sword suddenly, the cold and dazzling red light triumphed, Xiao Wu had to close her eyes, she heard the sword "buzzing" in her hand, and it kept trembling, and the power became bigger and bigger, so that Xiao Wu couldn't grasp it.
The sword still took off his hand, did not fall to the ground, but flew into the air by itself, the cold light of the sword with a cold red light flew twice on its own, and turned into a flying fire phoenix at once, the fire phoenix "Qiang Qiang" roared sadly, hovering in the air, the red fire light was full of translucent light, and the heat wave hit people.
Cui'er ran out of the bedroom in shock, and was stunned when she saw everything in front of her.
Xuan Yuan was talking with Qingtian in the Yuanji Palace, and suddenly he felt something, said "It's broken!", glanced at Qingtian, turned into a streamer and left.
Optimus thought it was bad and followed.
When I arrived at the reception room of the Xuanyuan Courtyard, I saw a fire phoenix circling and flying around Xiao Wu holding the sword scabbard, and let out bursts of "Qiang Qiang" screams, the house was full of red light, and the flames were rolling.
Xiao Wu's eyes were full of surprise, standing in the soaring flames, with a smile on her face, as if she was appreciating the dance in the sky of the fire phoenix, the rolling heat wave made Xiao Wu's hair scatter, her robe and hair hunted and flying, her whole person seemed to be burning, heroic and radiant.
Seeing that Master Xuanyuan and Prince Qingtian suddenly appeared at the door with incredible expressions, Xiao Wu stretched out a hand, as if summoning. The fire phoenix slowly stopped flying, gradually put away the awe-inspiring momentum and the light of the flames, and harvested a sword that fell on Xiao Wu's palm, Xiao Wu inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and his face was full of joy.
Xuan Yuan was stunned by the scene in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "This, how is it possible?"
Xuan Yuan trembled excitedly and kept pointing his fingers at Xiao Wu, and ran to Xiao Wu with a little staggering, but when he saw the prince Qingtian appear beside her, he hesitated again. After a moment of silence, he slowly put down his hand in some disappointment, and the person stayed in place, and from his violently undulating chest, it could be seen that he was surging at the moment.
Witnessing the change in Xuanyuan's mood, Qingtian saw his excitement and rare loss of control, and mistakenly thought that Xiao Wu had made a private move, and he regarded his beloved wife's Fire Phoenix Sword as if he was his life, and he was angry because of his own bad feelings.
Qingtian felt very apologetic, and suddenly his face darkened, glared at Xiao Wu, who was causing trouble, and shouted angrily, "Lu Xiaowu, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
Xiao Wu looked at Qingtian, then at Xuanyuan, and knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly knelt down and asked for guilt, "Xiao Wu was reckless and moved the master's private belongings, Xiao Wu knew his mistake and let the master punish him."
Xuan Yuan had relieved himself, looked at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression for a while, and said in a slow voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, this 'Fire Phoenix' sword is recognized, and once it is identified, it will not be changed...... I'm just amazed that this "fire phoenix" ...... How can we confess the Lord again after 100,000 years? This is really too strange...... This is really fate?...... It's a pity, this kid isn't a disciple of my Xiyi Immortal Mansion...... Therefore, please do not blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let alone punish this child."
Qingtian sighed deeply and said sharply, "Oh, I see...... Lu Xiaowu, why don't you thank Zhenjun for opening up for you?"
"Xiao Wu, Master Xie for his kindness!"
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he kowtowed to thank him, Xuanyuan bent down, helped Xiao Wu up with his own hands, and when his eyes touched one place, Xiao Wu saw the depths of Master Xuanyuan's deep eyes, which were full of care, faint pain and incomprehensible meaning.
Exiting Xuanyuan's courtyard, Xiao Wu saw Cui'er waiting anxiously outside the door.
Cui'er helped Xiao Wu re-tie her hair in a bun, and kept chattering, Xiao Wu was thinking about the meaning of Master Xuanyuan's words and expressions, and she didn't listen to it, but she knew that Cui'er was all for her own good, so she was full of nonsense.
The time spent together always seemed short, and Qingtian had already said goodbye to Xuanyuan in Shili.
Xiao Wu was very nostalgic and reluctant, and was looked at by Qingtian, and Xuanyuan's words just now made him more troubled.
Xiao Wu looked back step by step, Qingtian's face was gloomy and gloomy, and he couldn't help but complain: "Lu Xiaowu, you said, dare to take you out in the future?...... Alas, you're a troublemaker!".
Xiao Wu knew that she was wrong, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak.
Back at Yongzheng Palace, Xiao Wu went back to her room first, and this time should be Yanran and other Xian'e, waiting for Qingtian to change clothes and eat.
To Xiao Wu's surprise, she saw Zi Xiao and Gui Yan in her room, and she happily told them that she had been released from the ground, and she also went to the Xiyi Immortal Mansion with the prince to see Cui'er and the "Fire Phoenix" sword.
Zi Xiao has been wilting and unable to keep her spirits, and her eyes are full of exploration, worry and deep sadness when she looks at Xiao Wu.
"Zixiao, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?"
"No!", Zi Xiao, who was worried, replied listlessly.
"Oh, it's good if you don't have it...... You see, this is the pomegranate cake I made for the two of you, I'll go back later, remember to take it with you"
"Xiao Wu, it's naturally good to be able to leave the palace freely, there are many rights and wrongs in this palace, and the trees are big, so it's better for you to keep a low profile...... I'm sure you're not that kind of person."
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan's interest was not attracted to the pomegranate shortbread at all, Gui Yan looked serious, and said very strangely, so that Xiao Wu couldn't understand the words of the cloud mountain fog cover,
"Hey?......", Xiao Wu weighed the meaning of Guiyan's words suspiciously.
Xiao Wu was contemplating her eyebrows and thinking, Zi Xiao also followed the words, and said, "Xiao Wu, if there is anything, don't take it yourself...... It's okay if you can get out of the palace, if you have something, just look for me, and let Yanwen or Jia Yi, the guard in front of the door, inform me...... With Zixiao here, don't be afraid of anything...... You're a big girl, you have to do things ...... Be careful, don't fall into the shoes of others, and get into unnecessary trouble."
Zi Xiao and Gui Yan still couldn't say anything, if the little scholar tricked the prince into staying in his room, this matter had been spread in Yongzai Palace. Of course the two didn't believe this, it was a fact that the prince's brother cared about Xiao Wu very much, but not long ago, the prince's brother hit Xiao Wu with a sword, how could he suddenly be lucky with Xiao Wu?
The harem is full of jealous women and dirty and dirty conspiracies, and now the spearhead is directed at Xiao Wu, so that Zi Xiao and Guiyan are worried that she will be calculated, and the most afraid is that rumors will spread out of Yongzheng Palace, if you let your father and mother know that there is such a thing that affects the face of the heavenly family, it will definitely be bad for Xiao Wu.
"Hey, what's wrong with you two? Strange and inexplicable, I've been grounded, what a big deal is this, and what's in the way of the harem? You two don't want to be happy for me, but you say these things to make me obstructed...... Really, what a good friend, Wohuo!"
Xiao Wu didn't know what was going on, let alone the sinister in the deep palace, he only thought that they were worried about themselves, and if they were pardoned, they would let them go out and play crazy, and accidentally violated the palace rules and got into trouble, so he added: "Okay! I'm careful, I won't break the palace rules, you two put your hearts in your stomachs."
Zi Xiao was still not at ease and told again, "Xiao Wu, you must be cautious and cautious, be careful and be careful, think more about things in case of trouble, and don't fall into the trap of others...... The crowd is ruining the bones, and they are not careless."
Guiyan also interjected again, "Anyway, hold your tail and discuss it with me and Zixiao if you have something...... Hmph, forgive them, and they don't dare to bully my friends of His Highness the Nine."
"Alas, you two are chattering and suspicious, you are really thinking too much, I have a serious situation, it is impossible to get into trouble, I will ......", Xiao Wu almost said and suddenly stopped talking.
Xiao Wu didn't know the rumors, so naturally she didn't take the words of the two of them too seriously, a hundred years are coming soon, and there are a lot of things to prepare, so it's time to decide where to go first?
What's more, Master Xuanyuan has something to say today, and he has to think about it.
Leaving Yongzheng Palace, there is naturally nothing for Zixiao and Guiyan to worry about. Leave here, I, Lu Xiaowu will be free!
