Nishimiya sat on the chair, looking at the packed baggage and lost in thought.
"Princess, I got the letter." Ling Dang stepped into the room and handed the letter to Nishinomiya.
Xi Gongxiu looked at the words on the envelope - personally signed by Prince Beiming.
She frowned slightly. This was a text written a thousand years ago. It wasn't that she couldn't understand it, but the only people who could use the text written a thousand years ago were Chinese and Romanians.
She opened the envelope and read the contents carefully: "Zhonggong Huanli is in Dongling Palace."
She was suddenly startled. In this case, didn't Dongling Emperor Donggong Cangqiong capture Zhonggong Huanli?!
Once upon a time, Beiming, Xiyu, and Nanyue all fought against Dongling. The cruelty of Donggong Cangqiong was widely spread, and she naturally knew about it.
Her slender hands couldn't help but tremble. Could this be Zhonggong Huanli's letter for help?
Lingdang saw how bad her face turned, and couldn't help but frowned worriedly, saying, "Princess, are you okay?"
Nishinomiya bit her lip tightly, should she talk about this...
She slowly put the letter paper on the table. Lingdang glanced at the complicated words. As a maid, she naturally wouldn't learn that much. If she couldn't understand, she moved her eyes away and raised her hand to help Nishinomiya.
He poured a cup of tea and said: "Princess, calm down first..."
Nishimiya picked up the tea tremblingly, and the refreshing fragrance of the tea calmed her nervous thoughts. She took a sip of tea, calmed down her mood, and said: "Lingdang, do you think it is shameful to become selfish when you love someone?
”
Lingdang was stunned for a moment and said: "Princess, I think it is normal to love someone selfishly, and a noble girl with a high position like the princess is more qualified to be selfish than ordinary people." p>
"Really..." Nishimiya murmured, seeming to be encouraged, and his mood quickly calmed down.
Recalling Beigong Tengxiao talking to her absent-mindedly that night and looking anxious, she bit her lip sadly.
Lingdang is right, love is selfish. As a princess, why can't she show the possessiveness she should?
She frowned, picked up the letter on the table, folded it twice and put it back in her arms. Then she looked at the packed bundle and said, "I... don't want to go back for the time being."
"Yes." Lingdang nodded and sorted out the things in the bag.
Nishinomiya rolled his eyes and stepped out of the door.
While looking for Chu Jiaoli, Beigong Tengxiao still did not let go of business and went to the palace every day to discuss political affairs with Emperor Nanyue.
Xi Gongxiu set the time, and when he walked out of the palace gate, she was waiting at the door.
Beigong Tengxiao wore a black python robe, and his handsome appearance revealed an indifference that would keep strangers away.
Since Chu Jiaoli's disappearance, his face has become gloomier than before, and his eyes as dark as obsidian reveal the incomprehensible vicissitudes of life and evil.
It is not difficult to see that her blow to him was not small, and perhaps he himself had not noticed this.
He should feel relieved without that annoying little girl chirping in his ear!
But why, as she left, his heart rate became very chaotic, very chaotic...
This gave him an idea - as long as she can come back, she can do whatever she wants...
Beigong Tengxiao looked at the blue and white dress that caught his eye, raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, then quickly looked away and walked towards the carriage.
Xi Gongshu stepped forward and stopped him, saying: "Brother Tengxiao, haven't you found her yet?"
"Yes." Beigong Tengxiao responded softly and said, "I have returned to the embassy."
"Wait a minute." Nishimiya frowned and blocked his path again, saying, "You've been in a bad mood lately. Do you want to take a break? I heard there's a nice restaurant. Can I treat you to a meal?" Beigong Tengxiao sighed softly and said: "No need."
Jingyue frowned slightly next to the carriage, and Beigong Tengxiao's voice revealed a sense of decadence and powerlessness, which was completely different from the high-spirited look he once had.
This is the second time he has seen him like this. The last time was when something happened to the former crown princess...
Thinking about it carefully, he didn't know how long it had been since he saw Bei Gong Tengxiao's smile. Since the death of the former Crown Princess, he had returned to the lonely and indifferent look he had when he was a child...
He couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, I think you will get bored easily if you don't go out for a walk. If the concubine comes back, I don't want to see you like this. The former crown prince... also...
It will hurt..."
He said the last sentence very softly, but every word of it hit Beigong Tengxiao's heart.
He clenched his fist and said, "Okay."
Qinghexuan.
Beigong Tengxiao rejected Xi Gongshu's proposal to go to the private room and chose a window seat on the second floor.
The dishes on the table are fragrant and make your mouth water.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned and chewed the food in his mouth for a full quarter of an hour. During this period, Xi Gongsheng spoke to him countless times but received no response.
His eyes were always on the street outside the window.
In the bustling crowd, he looked at every woman passing by, even the thinner men, eager to find Chu Jiaoli among them.
Seeing him staring at the street in a daze, Xi Gongju also looked towards the street. There was nothing strange. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What is Brother Tengxiao looking at?"
Beigong Tengxiao slowly swallowed the thing in his mouth and said: "It's nothing."
"Does the food taste good? Sisi remembers that these are things you liked to eat when you were a child." Nishimiya asked cautiously.
"After so many years, the taste will change." Beigong Tengxiao replied coldly, picking up a piece of fish and putting it in his mouth.
Xi Gongxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What does Brother Tengxiao like to eat now?"
Beigong Tengxiao was silent for a long time and said: "Chicken soup."
Nishinomiya immediately gestured to the bell behind him, and the bell shouted loudly: "Servant, serve the chicken soup!"
"Okay!"
After a while, a bowl of hot chicken soup was placed on the table.
Xi Gongshu smiled and scooped up a spoonful of soup and said: "Brother Tengxiao, can Sishu feed you?"
"No need." Beigong Tengxiao's voice was low, revealing an inaccessible sense of alienation.
Xi Gongyu's hand paused slightly, but he still put down the spoon, pushed the chicken soup in front of him, and said: "Okay, brother Tengxiao, taste it yourself."
Beigong Tengxiao picked up the spoon, looked at the chicken soup in the spoon, blew on it gently, and drank it.
"Does it taste good?" Nishimiya asked.
"Her... favorite drink is chicken soup." Beigong Tengxiao stared at the soup bowl, and the smell of chicken soup between his lips and teeth reminded him again and again.
Nishinomiya pursed her lips and said, "Which one?"
She knew clearly that no matter who it was, it was not her Nishinomiya, but... she still couldn't help but ask...
