Chapter 17 The Reborn Prince of the Hou Mansion (17)
It could be seen that she was exhausted to the extreme, and every step she took was difficult, but she never gave up. She gritted her teeth, stared straight ahead with eyes wet with sweat, and continued to move forward.
The words Nan Xian said to him not long ago suddenly sounded in his mind: "Just wait for me... don't look down on me too much..."
He had been somewhat contemptuous of this sentence before.
But at this time, his heart was heavy, and the poisonous ivy that had grown in his heart from unknown time once again made him restless, irritable and uncomfortable.
Suddenly, he felt someone's eyes watching him.
Si Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and met that line of sight in mid-air.
The man was dressed in serious black clothes, and his features were not outstanding. While looking at him, he seemed to pick up something on his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He only looked at him for a moment, and then turned his attention to the people running on the school field.
.
Si Xiao suddenly felt a sense of hostility in his heart. He originally planned to pass by, but at this time, his steps were unruly and he walked toward the school grounds.
Nan Xian was sweating profusely from running. She had been wearing a gray riding jacket for a few days. At this time, the inner skirt of the riding jacket was completely soaked with sweat and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to her skin. However, Mu Xuan did not shout stop, she could not stop.
Come down.
This person has a weird temper, like a free cold wind, coming and going without a trace. You must learn more before he gets tired of brown sugar glutinous rice cake.
The sun was shining so hard that Nan Xian saw Si Xiao in a trance.
Her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't suffering from heat stroke, was she? She was actually hallucinating.
Seeing Nan Xian look at him with a strange look for a few times and then look away, Si Xiao couldn't explain how he felt. He frowned and stretched out his arms to stop the person.
Nan Xian bumped into his arm, and the real feeling made her confused for a moment.
"Si...Xiao?"
The hesitant tone made Si Xiao feel a little bitter, and he said in a cold voice: "How many days have passed since we last seen each other? Your Majesty doesn't recognize my concubine anymore?"
"What are you doing here?" Nan Xian glared at him, avoided him and continued running forward.
Why is your anger still not gone?
Si Xiao followed her with a gloomy brow.
"Xi Jin sent Duke Xin to the government office. I took a look and found that there was no skin left on his body, his throat was mute due to poison, all ten fingers were cut off, and even the toes were cut off——"
"It would have been easy for Xi Jin to take Duke Xin's life, but he sent Duke Xin to Shuntian Mansion with a broken body. After thinking about it, there is only one benefit for him to do this - to make Concubine Shu hate you even more, Your Majesty.
But what clues have fallen into the hands of Concubine Shu?"
He is indeed the Black Lotus villain with deep knowledge, and his guess is almost inseparable from the truth.
Her biggest leverage lies in the hands of Concubine Shu.
Nan Xian pursed her lips and said nothing, partly because she didn't want to answer, and partly because her throat was dry and hoarse from exhaustion and she didn't have the energy to speak.
He sped up and ran the last two laps without looking back at Si Xiao.
The two of them ran to the shade of a tree. Nan Xian was panting and holding her knees to catch her breath for a while. When the pain in her chest was no longer so uncomfortable, she took the water Xiao Liangzi handed her and drank it down.
"Master, fifteen laps have been completed," Nan Xian was still panting. Xiao Liangzi looked at His Majesty with distress. He was about to wipe Nan Xian's sweat with a wet handkerchief, but someone suddenly took away the wet handkerchief.
Si Xiao folded the wet handkerchief and wiped it on Nan Xian's delicate cheeks without any explanation.
Looking at her up close, it became clear how much she had sweated, even her neck was moist, and her whole body seemed as if she had just been fished out of the bathtub.
Nan Xian was stunned, staring straight into the young man's dark, moist eyes.
Is this considered...pleasing her?
After a moment of silence, he pressed Si Xiao's hand and his long eyelashes trembled slightly: "I will do it myself."
"It is the concubine's duty to take care of the emperor." Si Xiao glanced at Mu Xuan warily, forced himself to squeeze in between the two of them, separated the distance, held the wet handkerchief with his fingers, and gently wiped the side of Nan Xian's neck.
Nan Xian felt that this gesture was a bit ambiguous and a bit itchy, especially in front of Mu Xuan. Her cheeks felt hot, and she took the wet handkerchief with her hands and took a few steps back: "I have my own plans regarding Xi Jin and Concubine Shu.
If the queen came here for this matter, she can go back now."
This was the first time that Si Xiao saw alienation in Nan Xian's eyes. His heart felt as if he had been hit by an ice pick, and he was so painful that he felt cold.
Nan Xian sat next to Mu Xuan, took out a booklet of internal skills and mental methods, pointed out a few things he didn't understand, and asked Mu Xuan for answers.
Si Xiao stared at the two of them coldly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
Xiao Liangzi instantly felt that the temperature of his whole body had dropped several degrees. He glanced at the empress who was shivering with coldness, and then at the emperor who was seriously asking for advice on martial arts. He hesitated and said: "Empress, the emperor won't be able to leave for a while.
Why don't you go back to the palace first?"
Before he finished speaking, Si Xiao sat down with a sneer: "I have nothing to do when I go back to the palace, so why not stay with your majesty here?"
From that day on, every time Nan Xian went to the school grounds, Si Xiao would show up on time within a short while.
When she and Mu Xuan got a little closer, she could hear someone's strange snort.
Days like this lasted for several months, and Nanxian finally arrived at the climax of the plot - the Autumn Hunting Conference.
She has been practicing martial arts day and night these days and has achieved some results.
In the past, every night, she could only watch Mu Xuan lazily sitting on the eaves playing the ocarina, feeling like a lonely little pitiful person.
When Xiao Liangzi brought a ladder and climbed up, he was laughed at by Mu Xuan.
But now she can use her inner strength to fly up to the eaves, and like Mu Xuan, she can look at the stars closer to the sky.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you." Xiao Liangzi ran over.
Nan Xian was holding his chin up as he looked at the memorials presented today, which were all about the arrangements for the Autumn Hunting Conference and other matters. Two of them were memorials about the whereabouts of Xi Jin and Concubine Shu, which were submitted by the Minister of Punishment and the new Minister of Dali Temple. Naturally, they were missing.
I found that the memorial contained words such as "I feel ashamed".
"Xuan".
When Si Xiao walked into the imperial study wearing a moon-white skirt, she saw the emperor playing with the ink pen carelessly. The memorials placed on the desk covered half of her face.
The delicate and bright little face looked up from the memorial: "Is there something wrong, Queen?"
Si Xiao glanced at Xiao Liangzi.
Nan Xian waved lightly: "Xiao Liangzi, you go down first."
"Xi Jin will set up an ambush during the autumn hunt. Among the noble disciples participating in the autumn hunt, there are also his people. My personal guards only found out that these people are Xi Jin's men." Si Xiao gave a list of names with a solemn expression.
Pass it to Nan Xian.
Nan Xian glanced at the names on the list and curled his lips coldly: "The Northern Qi Dynasty was overly ambitious and tried to devour the Three Kingdoms. In the end, it was suppressed by the Three Kingdoms, and it continued to fight, which led to the weakening of the country. Now it is offering protons, but it is still evil...
…”
Si Xiao raised his eyelids, and the sharp look in Nan Xian's eyes made him tremble.
The ground was shaking with excitement. Northern Qi bordered Dongyao and had been harassing Dongyao's border all year round due to lack of supplies. He had long wanted to kill these barbarians with swords.
