Chapter 34 (14)
From then on, her position was below her, and she was no longer her protector, and this gap would even be exacerbated by the volatile situation. Fortunately, he just picked up the title of the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he could barely save a few faces.
It was from then on that he no longer resisted this inexplicable status, but cherished it even more. is secretly thinking about how to get real recognition in the minds of the people. What he said about caring for the world, caring for the people, and stabilizing the four states cannot but be said to be the product of selfishness.
finally had the opportunity to enter the palace, and stayed by her side for six years, watching her and Shunzhi laugh in the morning and dusk countless times, loving and loving, and never complaining. I only didn't think about what it would be like if Nangong Xue also left him. All along, he walked too fast and too quickly alone, wishful thinking that no matter how far he went, Nangong Xue would always follow him like a shadow, closely following him, and gradually realized that it was a big mistake.
The younger sister of the childhood sweetheart is good with others, and it is even worse than the sweetheart who fell in love at first sight marries someone else, which hits him harder. Therefore, a few months ago in Huashan, he would reject the dark night in every way, for fear that he would snatch Xue'er. Now, if we allow the situation to develop step by step, what Xuan Shuang said will inevitably come true. There was a flame in the dantian, and a "whoosh" jumped up and spread to the chest.
couldn't wait any longer, so he sneaked out of the palace that afternoon, intending to act according to the plan. As Xuan Shuang said, no matter what the outcome is, defeat without a fight is the most humiliating. Along the way, he was extra cautious, for fear of meeting acquaintances, greetings, and entanglement. even scolded in his heart: "A faction of hypocrisy, how can there be so many things to say?"
Unexpectedly, along the way, he never met a person who stopped him to say hello. Secretly smiled bitterly: "I'm in the palace, and I'm really an unpopular figure." Don't even have a friend?" But now is not the time to pursue a friend or not, speed up the pace and walk through the streets and alleys.
Rounded a few corners and came to the front of the original wing house. He is already more familiar with this place than his own, and even he will repeatedly circle the route in his mind. I think about it every day, I dream about it at night, and how many times I refuse to relax even in my dreams. Any way through this memory, it is possible to walk with your eyes closed.
Every step was as heavy as lead, and I lifted my foot several times, but I couldn't take a step, and my face was full of deep sorrow. A few passers-by stopped to watch, and Li Yijie shouted: "What do you look at? Be careful that your eyeballs fall out! Do it yourself!" He was still wearing a Manchu official uniform, shouting and scolding in the street, attracting passers-by to point fingers, and cursing all the Manchu Yelang arrogant.
finally arrived at the original mansion, and his legs failed again. I carried hundreds of steps, but in the end, I couldn't hold this "kick at the door", wandered for a few steps, and finally didn't dare to raise my hand and knock on the door. He was still hesitating in his head, and suddenly heard a "squeak", and the two door panels opened on their own. Li Yijie was startled, his body flashed, and he let a stone lion behind. I can't tell what I'm doing in my heart, but I don't want to show it to the people in the house, and my eyes still refuse to fight, so I want to stare at the past.
It's good not to look at it, but this one was quite unexpected. I saw Xia Shengxun and Lu Qian going out of the house side by side, talking and laughing, with extremely intimate expressions, and went straight to the entrance of the alley, before they said goodbye.
Li Yijie remembered how cautious he was in the palace earlier, for fear of inadvertently bumping into Lu Qian, and then giving him the opportunity to pester himself to see Sheng Xun. That recognition plan must not be done in front of him. Otherwise, through this person's personality who is afraid of the world's chaos, he will make trouble with a few words without concealment, and everything will be finished.
But he didn't want to sigh before he sighed about this good luck, Lu Qian had already arrived at the house one step ahead of him, and the building near the water was the first to get the moon. Seeing the two of them snuggling up to each other more intimately than old friends, it was like a thorn in my heart, pushing it deep into my heart and lungs, and my internal organs were chilling.
At this time, Xia Sheng suddenly turned around and glanced in his direction, a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Li Yijie leaned out of the lion most of his body, and he was caught off guard, and at that moment the two did not meet their eyes, and a cold sweat broke out when they landed. With this look full of grievances, it was enough to determine that Xia Shengxun had seen him. At this time, he was in an awkward situation, and hurriedly thought of a few words of reply in his head, explaining why he was right here and why he kept staring at her.
Who knew that Xia Shengxun walked in front of him, and walked into the house without squinting, and he and the lion were all ignored. Li Yijie was suspicious in his heart, could it be that the thrill just now was a plain dream? In any case, this is by no means a good time to negotiate. waited until Lu Qian walked far away before he remembered to chase after him.
Fortunately, Lu Qian was just wandering leisurely, and his pace was slow, and Li Yijie finally caught up at the corner, and called: "Brother Lu Xian, stay!" When he turned around, he suddenly didn't know what to say. Thinking of his closeness to Xia Shengxun, a burst of jealousy grew, and blurted out, "Why did you come from over there?"
Lu Qian laughed and said, "Why, the roads in this world extend in all directions, is there any piece that I Lu Qian can't take?"
Li Yijie snorted coldly: "Less garlic! I mean, how could you come from the original mansion?"
When Lu Qian heard him ask about this, his expressionless face suddenly lit up. Said: "Do you really want to know? Haha, what's the matter, if you guess correctly, are you jealous? Because I have now become friends with Yuan Gongzi and Shengxun, who talk about everything." You are allowed to go to eat, but I am not allowed to visit often? Especially Sheng Xun, who is lonely in the boudoir, regards me as a mentor and a friend, and treats me very well. She's a pretty good girl. To be honest, some people are suitable for romance, and some people are suitable for life. She is the best person to be a wife. ”
Li Yijie heard him call "Shengxun", and he seemed to be skillful on weekdays, but he didn't pay attention to it, and called out casually, and felt weird for no reason.
Lu Qian smiled and continued: "I've thought it through, if she is determined, she will be Xia Shengxun, which is much more beneficial to me." Six or seven years ago, the old acquaintance, with whom I had a love-hate entanglement, lingered was Huashan disciple Nangong Xue, as for Miss Xia, I had never seen it, so naturally I couldn't talk about offending. With me, she must not show the slightest dissatisfaction, otherwise she will not be a gang in front of you? I can follow the example of a stranger, and reacquaint myself with her as if nothing had happened. Lonely men and widows, dry firewood, stay together for a long time, and are afraid that they will not be able to have feelings? This is the way I came up with, start first, and wait for me to hold the beauty in my arms, you just wait to sigh. ”
I was thinking in my heart: "Li Yijie is really a dull thing, if Xue'er pretends to be Xia Shengxun, in order to be angry with you, you will never open up, and after a long time, she and Yuan Yi will be complacent about fake play." Instead of cheapening that kid, it's better for me to pick up this ready-made bargain. ”
When Li Yijie heard this, he was really furious, and said: "In a few days, Xue'er will marry the original son, don't bother her privately!
Lu Qian snorted coldly twice and said, "Oh, I don't know in what capacity Lord Li ordered me? Is it the leader of the martial arts alliance? Or is it a poor man in the palace? Do you think I'm a turtle that will shrink back as soon as someone else looks up? Don't think I don't know, you just look down on me at all! But you force her all day long and admit that you are another person, so isn't it another kind of disturbance? Maybe Xue'er is planning to completely break away from the past, so she will start over with another identity. What do you think is the beauty of being your junior sister? Everyone has to flock to it?"
Li Yijie's heart shook violently, his face was like ashes, and he felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning in front of him. Lu Qian still wanted to add fuel to the fire, and said with a smile: "I tell you, I am different from you, and I will never do something that I am not sure of." I really want to open it now, and instead of chasing the invisible and untouchable shadows, it is better to be pragmatic and truth-seeking. Just like me, what I am pursuing now is Xia Sheng and Miss Xia, who has nothing to do with Nangong Xue, and you are not qualified to call yourself her senior brother and interfere with me again. ”
Li Yijie said angrily: "You don't have to talk to me in words! You and I both know very well, then Xia Sheng is clearly Xue'er by her!" Lu Qian smiled: "Yes, what about the evidence? Otherwise, my fair lady, gentleman, before the victory is decided, anyone is qualified to join this gamble. ”
Li Yijie was annoyed in his heart, and he couldn't argue with his almost scoundrel face. As the old saying goes, "When a show meets a soldier, he can't explain it clearly", not to mention that he is still a man who has not read a few days and does not know a few words? Seeing Lu Qian's arrogant sneer, he couldn't even resist a word. secretly regretted it very much, he really shouldn't have been quick to talk for a while, and he actually revealed Nangong Xue's secret to him, but now he can't save it.
The two returned to Yinxue Palace on the same road, and then parted unhappily. However, Lu Qian's pride did not last long, he had just changed into civilian clothes in the room, and a guard came to invite him, calling Concubine Yun to summon him.
Lu Qian followed him all the way, secretly thinking about what mistakes he had made recently, and grabbed the handle for her? Or did he have another task to assign? But Shen Shiyun's mind was overturned, and it was as difficult to guess as his own. Recently, he has been busy offering his hospitality to Xia Sheng, and he really didn't bother to do a few "serious" tasks, but what he was most worried about was that Shen Shiyun would think about the big plan and ask him to give Nangong Xue to Li Yijie.
He is amorous and affectionate, and he has provoked many women, but he also really likes all of them. For this woman who can't ask for it, she can't give up no matter how she says. panic adds to the chaos, but I have never been able to figure it out. While waiting for the report outside the palace, he finally made up his mind: "Anyway, your Concubine Yun will also be one of my harems in the future, where are you afraid?"
