13. Beihai Kingdom (4)
After resting for the night, Lou Qingyue opened his eyes lazily, but unexpectedly found that the room was dark, and according to the length of his sleep timeline, it should not still be night.
There was a rustling sound outside, she got up and opened the door, a gust of hot wind blew in her face, accompanied by several dazzling rays of sunlight coming in from outside, making Lou Qingyue unable to open her eyes for a while, and after slowing down, she looked outside the hall.
Seeing the black cloth hanging outside her temple door, she looked at the sun, although it was not very hot, but the sun was very big, probably very uncomfortable for the people of Beihai who lived in cold and were afraid of heat!
Not far away, several richly dressed people were surrounded and walked over here, and when they passed outside her hall, the girl who was walking in front stopped, stopped to look at her, pointed to Lou Qingyue and asked, "Who is this?"
Gong said: "This is a god man invited by the prince from the Central Plains to treat his illness. ”
The richly dressed girl nodded, and then followed the palace people to Yunfang Pavilion, another palace next to Yong'an Residence.
At this time, a palace man walked along the corridor, with a group of palace ladies holding breakfast behind him, "Godman, this is breakfast." ”
Lou Qingyue glanced at it, took a osmanthus cake from a plate, and retreated the rest.
"By the way, who is that?" Lou Qingyue asked, looking at the palace next door.
"That's a princess from the southern Suma steppes. ”
"What are you doing in the North Sea Country?"
"Marriage. ”
"Why the marriage?"
Gong E raised her head and glanced cautiously, and was glanced back by Lou Qingyue, she quickly lowered her head again, trembling, and suddenly stammered: "I...... Our Beihai Kingdom has always been intermarriage, and since the natural event, the king has changed his mind, wondering if it will change the situation if he marries with a foreigner. ”
Lou Qingyue was thoughtful.
Gong E thought for a moment, and then immediately explained: "It's not that our king doesn't believe you, the matter of intermarriage was decided when the prince went out to look for you. ”
"Well, it's fine. Lou Qingyue replied lightly.
On the top of the main hall, the king of the North Sea was entertaining the envoys of the southern grasslands who came to marry, and Xuanyuan Rong was sitting in the hall, and opposite him was sitting the princess Yunshan of the southern grassland.
When he first learned that he was asked to marry the princess of the southern steppe, he was also extremely surprised, who didn't want to find a girl he liked to live a life of love, but for the sake of this country, for the sake of the people of this country, he agreed after calming down.
Xuanyuan Rongfang removed the identity of the prince of Beihai, I have to say that he is a beautiful man, at this time, Yun Shan, who was sitting opposite Xuanyuan Rongfang, was smiling at him, and it seemed that he should be very satisfied with his future husband.
At this moment, a person suddenly broke into the hall, and then stood on top of the main hall and shouted: "I don't want my brother to marry." ”
"Xue'er, what's the fuss, go down!" the King of the North Sea rebuked angrily.
"Father, I don't want my brother to marry!"
"Come on, take the princess down, without my order, without my order, you must not leave the Water Fragrance Pavilion for half a step. ”
Xuanyuan Rongxue was grounded like this.
In the main hall, let outsiders see a joke, and the king of Beihai started a round, "Let the messengers from afar laugh, the princess has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she is not as gentle and demure as Princess Yunshan." ”
Xuanyuan Rongfang looked out uneasily, like sitting on pins and needles.
After the banquet, Xuanyuan Rongfang immediately rushed to the Water Fragrance Pavilion and opened the door, the house was in a mess, and the ground was full of things that Xuanyuan Rongxue had fallen.
Seeing Xuanyuan Rong let in, Xuanyuan Rongxue immediately ran up and asked, "Brother, are you really going to marry that princess?"
"yes. ”
When Xuanyuan Rongxue heard this, she said sadly: "Can I not get married?"
"Xue'er, one day, whether it is me or you, we will get married. ”
"No, Xue'er will not get married, and Xue'er will stay with her brother forever. ”
"Silly girl. ”
"I heard that you didn't have lunch, so I ordered someone to make your favorite snack. After speaking, Gong E, who was waiting at the door, brought in a few plates of dim sum.
"I can't eat it. "Xuanyuan Rongxue, don't overdo it.
Just as the two were talking, Princess Yunshan also came over.
When Xuanyuan Rongxue saw Yun Shan, her emotions that had just been relieved suddenly came up, and she roared loudly: "What are you doing here, you are not welcome here." ”
"Cher, don't be rude. ”
Yun Shan was slightly embarrassed, but still said gently: "I brought our grassland goat milk cake over and asked the princess to taste it." ”
"I don't want it, you go. Xuanyuan Rongxue pushed Yun Shan away, Yun Shan didn't stand firmly, and a plate of goat milk cake in her hand fell, with a bang, and shattered all over the ground.
"Cher. Xuanyuan Rongfang's tone was aggravated.
"You go, you all go, I don't want to see you. Xuanyuan Rongxue pushed everyone out of the palace and locked himself in the palace alone.
The wedding was scheduled to take place three days later, because there were no spontaneous combustion incidents in these days, and there was a happy event in the royal family, and the whole country was filled with joy.
Standing on the city wall, overlooking the territory of Beihai Kingdom, Xuanyuan Rongfang felt unprecedented joy and ease.
"If only it could go on like this. ”
Lou Qingyue stood aside, she understood Xuanyuan Rongfang's mood at this moment, just like she stood on the top of the mountain overlooking the mountain, she also sighed: "If only the world had always been so peaceful and happy." ”
But from Xuanyuan Rongfang's expression, you can still see the grief hidden in his heart, because the spontaneous combustion incident is only temporarily subdued.
"By the way, Mountain Lord, have you found out the cause or have you found a solution?"
"So far, I have not personally seen the spontaneous combustion incident you mentioned, so I can't make a judgment yet. ”
"Oh. Xuanyuan Rong sighed, "If you marry Yun Shan and give birth to a child who no longer has to endure the pain of this generation of our clan, then intermarriage with foreign clans will be widely practiced throughout the country, and Xue'er will also find a foreign man to marry a foreign land, maybe I should understand her sadness at this moment." ”
Lou Qingyue glanced at Xuanyuan Rong, as if he didn't understand this bond between the two.
Three days later, the wedding was officially held.
Carrying Princess Yunshan's footsteps, surrounded by a hundred-meter-long honor guard, slowly marched towards the Taichen Palace where Xuanyuan Rong lived.
It was a moment of great joy, but it was broken by a scream in the air, "Come on, someone, someone spontaneously combusted again." ”
Following the source of the sound, Lou Qingyue rose up, only to see that a person in the honor guard had been surrounded by raging fire at this time, and the source of the fire was the flame-like symbol in the center of his eyebrows.
She immediately cast a blue water spell and cast it on the burning man.
The fire was a little smaller, but there was no way to completely extinguish it, and Lou Qingyue applied it several times in a row to extinguish the fire on the spontaneous combustor.
"What is it, so powerful?" Lou Qingyue clearly felt that there was a very powerful force fighting against it, a kind of non-artificial.
Soon, Xuanyuan Rongfang, who was waiting to greet Princess Yunshan in Taichen Palace, also felt when he heard it, and said anxiously: "What's the matter?"
The princess had never seen such a scene, and was so frightened that she cowered in the corner, protected by the palace ladies.
The messenger of the southern steppe stepped forward and asked, "What is going on?"
The spontaneous combustion incident in Beihai is a secret, once someone leaks it to the outside world, it is a death order issued by the king of Beihai, one is for the stability of the domestic situation, and the other is not to let outsiders take advantage of it.
So the people of the southern steppes don't know what's going on.
Xuanyuan Rongfang explained simply: "Messenger, don't be afraid, let me explain slowly later." He turned to Lou Qingyue beside him for help, "Mountain Lord, it has appeared again." ”
Lou Qingyue stared intently, looking intently at the person who spontaneously combusted.
Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time, and the spontaneous combustionist was saved, but the places that were burned by the fire still had varying degrees of freezing.
"Has this always been the case?" Finally, Lou Qingyue spoke.
"Yes, after being burned by the flames, the surface of the body will freeze. Xuanyuan Rongfang said.
"What's that?" I saw a red light escape from the eyebrows of the frozen corpse and fly into the sky.
"What's wrong?" asked Xuanyuan Rong in confusion.
Lou Qingyue realized that this red light was invisible to ordinary people, so she didn't plan to explain to Xuanyuan Rongfang, she flew into the air, overlooking the red light escaping from her body, it seemed to be flying in a specific direction.
Could it be that this red light is playing tricks?
If you follow these red lights, you may be able to find the manipulator.
Lou Qingyue jumped into the air and chased the place where the red light floated, but when he chased to a palace, the red light disappeared.
Subsequently, Xuanyuan Rongfang also rushed over, "Mountain Lord, why are you here?"
"Where is this?"
"This is my sister's residence, the Water Fragrance Pavilion. Xuanyuan Rongxue paused for a moment and then said, "But what's unusual?"
At this time, Xuanyuan Rongxue ran out of the hall, saw Xuanyuan Rong coming, and hugged him forgetfully, "Brother, why are you here, don't you have to get married?"
"Are you okay?" Xuanyuan Rongfang looked at Xuanyuan Rongxue carefully, for fear that something would happen to her?
"I'm going to have something, the only thing is that I miss you a little bit. ”
"There is spontaneous combustion in the palace again, you have to be careful, and don't tear off the black cloth that you hang up. ”
"Oh. After speaking, Xuanyuan Rongxue also glanced at Lou Qingyue next to her, "What is she doing here?"
"She is the mountain god on Zhaohua Mountain, and she can help us solve the difficulties we are currently encountering, and we should be polite to others. ”
"Cher doesn't like outsiders, outsiders are bad. ”
"Cher, you can't just talk nonsense. ”
"Brother, do you want to accuse Xue'er for outsiders?"
"No, that's not what I meant......"
"I've seen it here. Lou Qingyue turned around and wanted to leave.
"What is wrong with the mountain master?" Xuanyuan Rongfang let go of Xuanyuan Rongxue and walked to Lou Qingyue's side.
"Promise the prince that I will do it. ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Rong was very happy in peace of mind, "Xue'er, do you hear, our Beihai country is saved, I must go and tell my father, by the way, the mountain master, I will send you out first." ”
"Hmm. ”
Since the spontaneous combustion incident in Beihai Kingdom, Yun Shan's attitude towards Xuanyuan Rongfang has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, after all, she is a little girl, and after being like this, Yun Shan, who was originally gentle, is clamoring to return to the southern grassland.
However, the king of the North Sea was worried that the envoys of the southern grassland would tell the story of the spontaneous combustion, and Yun Shan was not allowed to return to the southern grassland, so he imprisoned all the group.
However, Xuanyuan Rongxue was overjoyed when she heard the news that Yun Shan was unwilling to marry his brother.
One day, Xuanyuan Rongxue passed by Yunfang Pavilion and heard the shouting of Princess Yunshan from Yunfang Pavilion, she walked in under curiosity when she shouldn't be nosy.
Yun Shan was very surprised to see Xuanyuan Rongxue, but it was better than being locked up here and not seeing the light of day, she had a plan in her heart and begged Xuanyuan Rongxue to let her out.
This was her father's decision, and Xuanyuan Rongxue naturally didn't agree.
But Yun Shan spoke: "The reason why I am locked up here is because I resist marrying your brother, and one day, I will not be able to bear this day and agree to your father's request to marry your brother." ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Rongxue was shaken, every time she said wrong, the reason why her father locked her up here was than if she married her brother, as long as she stayed here for one more day, then the chance of marrying her brother would be greater.
In the end, under Yun Shan's persuasion, Xuanyuan Rongxue agreed.
She asked her maid to pretend to be Yun Shan, stay in Yun Fang Pavilion for her, and then let the real Yun Shan dress up as a maid and go out of the imperial city with the carriage in the palace.
However, she only promised to send her out of the palace, and as for how to return to the southern grassland, it depends on Yun Shan's own creation.
After doing all this, she was faintly uneasy, but she still felt happy to send the greatest danger away from her brother's side.
