"Miss Oujia said something about the assassins and thugs. The servants of the General's Mansion vaguely heard it. It seems that the same person did it both times. It's just that Miss Oujia was too frightened at the time to remember it. Now it's too late to think about it."
Song Mujie walked slowly along the quiet garden path, following closely behind the queen. He bowed his waist like a little eunuch and spoke softly. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and sporadic snowflakes were falling. He held the important position of the chief guard of the palace. He pulled up his sleeves and stood up on tiptoes to cover the queen. The flattering look on his face was clearly revealed.
The queen was disgusted with his expression. She frowned and waved her hand. She was still walking slowly in front of her. She stopped when she encountered a wintersweet.
"Does the Emperor know that the incident was caused by Yan Hu?"
"You should know. That Yanhu guard has a clue. Wearing a mask is enough to attract people's attention. He didn't even take it off when doing business. Miss Oujia didn't remember anything else. She just remembered that the perpetrator had a mask on his face. Half a mask. Although no one has any witnesses or evidence to confirm that it was the guard who did it. I still don’t know for sure. The general is so precious to his daughter. I think he will definitely go to the emperor to ask for his decision."
"He is not that kind of person." The Queen retorted without thinking. "It is true that Ou Suiliang is the Emperor's most trusted confidant. But according to his character, he always hopes to do more than to do less. Even if he knows who the person who harmed that yellow-haired girl is. He will not seek justice from Yanhu State regardless of the overall situation. He just does not have his own position. In everything, he first considers what happens to the emperor and what happens to the distant country. Otherwise, he will not be accustomed to the emperor's bad temper."
The Empress could discuss and comment on the affairs of Emperor Yao and Ou Suiliang. How could Song Mujie, the head guard, dare to talk too much? He could only lower his head and listen, answering twice from time to time.
The wintersweet tree has passed its flowering season. Only one flower is hanging half-dead at the end of the treetop. The queen raised her head and stared at the solitary flower. There was a hint of coldness in the corner of her mouth: "Your Majesty is cruel enough. After knowing that I intend to take advantage of Bai Qige, He found an excuse to send her to the southern border. In order to prevent me, he actually did not hesitate to break up the prince and Bai Qige and destroy the father-son relationship. I was really afraid of him when he came here."
The queen casually broke off a dead branch and reached out to the wintersweet at the tip. She hit it a few times. The lone flower couldn't bear the blow and fell from the branch. It fell silently into the snow. Then it was gently touched by smooth and white hands. Pick it up gently.
Song Mujie didn't understand the meaning of the Queen's inexplicable and even ridiculous behavior at all. He noticed that the Queen was lost in thought with the wintersweet. His mind turned around and he stepped forward to find something to say.
"There are flowers and plants planted in the palace all year round. But this wintersweet is the real flower bone. The colder the weather, the more beautiful it blooms. Just this noble character is worthy of respect."
Wintersweet is proud of Snow Lingshuang. The queen is in the cold palace but is still undead. They have something in common. Song Mujie praised Wintersweet openly but secretly flattered the queen. Unexpectedly, the queen not only was not bewitched by him, but instead sneered mockingly: " Integrity. Nobility. Hanging on a branch means you are aloof. Once it falls into the soil and heavy snow, who will pay attention? Flowers bloom in different seasons and everyone has their own destiny. If they bloom in the wrong season, don't even think about competing for beauty. At most, I am being falsely affectionate, arty and arrogant. In the final analysis, I am just being rejected by thousands of flowers and can only be used as a foil to decorate the snow."
The flattery was not taken to the right place but was refuted. Song Mujie was speechless and embarrassed. His smile was so stiff that it was worse than crying. Fortunately, the queen didn't care about his face at all. She raised her hand to summon the maid to support him, and walked to the bedroom with a gentle press on his forehead.
Song Mujie, who had long been used to being ignored, let out a long sigh and quietly left through the back door. When he walked to a deserted corner, his bent back suddenly straightened up. His slavish look disappeared and he replaced it with a look of contempt.
"They all think they are some kind of person. Who will win in the end?"
After the corner, there was another corner in the shadow. Another figure hid silently. It wasn't until Song Mujie had scolded enough and got angry enough that he shrank his head and pretended to be a tortoise and left. Then the figure slowly walked out. His eyes were cold and complicated. There seemed to be a distortion and sinister look in his eyes, as well as an unspeakable deep hatred.
"Yi Chenxuan..."
His thin lips moved. His voice was cold and filled with hatred.
The Monan region is entering the rainy season. The thunder sounds. The green grass is connected to the hazy sky. It is so gloomy that it is depressing. In the low felt tent, Ning Xizui held her chin without moving for a long time. Bai Qige was sleeping soundly on the small table opposite. The corner of his mouth turned up slightly into a smile.
"Don't give up. Add some mandala pollen. She hasn't had a good rest in a long time."
"There was a lot added to the wine. Too much is not good." Su Buqi didn't raise his eyelids. He raised the curtain and poured out the remaining half of the bottle of wine. He hesitated for a moment. Su Buqi, who didn't like to talk too much, said lightly: "Back." Is it okay to run here with my adoptive father? I will be punished when I go back."
When Feng Wujiang was mentioned, Ning Xizui's face immediately fell. He said aggrievedly to Su Buqi: "It's rare that I'm in a better mood. Do you have to come and destroy it?"
"You asked for it."
Ning Xizui, who was mercilessly struck, shook her head. She fanned her head back and forth with a folding fan. Her soft, light-blond hair gently moved in the wind. Her expression suddenly became serious again: "We can't let her come to Monan by herself. What's up with you here?" I know that it is not as simple as Yao Huang and Miss Bai imagined. The loss of food and grass the day before yesterday was just a warning. If she continues to be reckless, she may end up on the road of no return. Either she will be injured or even die in the battle. Or, she will become a defeated general and be killed. Emperor Yao will convict and punish you."
"Although this time it was just food and supplies that were robbed without any casualties. Once the Emperor of Yao Kingdom finds out, he will still be furious, right? You can't protect her for a while. There is no need to waste your efforts."
Su Buqi listened to Su Buqi's advice countless times. Ning Xizui lamented repeatedly. Under his cynical appearance, he could not hide his worry about Bai Qige. He took a thin blanket and put it behind Bai Qige. Ning Xizui carefully leaned against her. On my shoulders. I hope she can sleep more comfortably.
In the past two days, Bai Qige had been working almost non-stop to make up for the loss of food and grass. If Ning Xizui hadn't promised to help her prepare some food within ten days, she would never have been able to relax and drink. Of course, Bai Qige didn't. She would think that the wine was drugged. If not, she didn't know how long it would take to get a good night's sleep.
Holding the sleeping Bai Qige in her arms, Ning Xizui didn't realize anything was wrong at all. Facing Su Buqi with clear eyes, she said calmly: "Who wanted to abandon me for a certain beauty before? What did you say to let Jin Yan do it?" Come with me. I have other important matters...tsk, tsk, it's only half a catty."
A trace of stiffness flashed across Su Buqi's face, as if he was always the one who lost when fighting against Ning Xizui.
Holding Bai Qige in one hand and holding up the wine glass with the other. Ning Xi drunkenly swirled the remaining wine in the glass. Su Buqi's slender fingers passed through the corner of her eyes. Suddenly she remembered another person who looked very similar to him: "By the way. Jinyan still doesn't have it." News?"
"He has had this temper since he was a child. He used to listen to his adoptive father to some extent, but now even his adoptive father can't control him. The poison in his body has not been cleansed yet. He is an elusive and invisible person. I really don't know him. What are you thinking about?" When talking about Su Jinyan, Su Buqi talked a lot more than usual. He subconsciously held the jade pendant with Su Jinyan's name engraved on his waist. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "I only know that he is looking for the fifth prince everywhere. But there is no result. The man has three holes. That man is cunning and insidious. Naturally, he will not be found easily."
"Sooner or later it will come out. The stingy prince has become the prince. The fifth prince who was thrown to the border and became the king will definitely not be willing to accept it. This time the five envoys from Monan suddenly met the emperor of the distant country and Yanhu was secretly causing trouble. I always feel that The matter has nothing to do with the fifth prince. If he is really behind the scenes, then one day the fox's tail will show up."
Yi Chenxuan's existence seemed to be an extremely poisonous medicine. No matter who he was, he would not be in a good mood as long as he was mentioned. Even a relaxed and free-spirited person like Ning Xizui was no exception.
There were a few soft sounds of raindrops outside the tent. After another thunder, the crackling sound suddenly became louder. It turned out that a downpour came before dusk fell. Maybe the thunder was too loud. Bai Qige, who was sleeping soundly, moved. What was being murmured could not be heard clearly from her lips as pale as water. Ning Xizui lowered her head and leaned closer to hear what was vaguely heard. She was calling Yi Chenjing's name.
"When will someone miss me like this?" Ning Xi smiled with emotion. Ning Xi was drunk and suddenly tender. She touched Bai Qige with her long palms and trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and shielded her from the thunder and lightning. She spoke softly like silk. " Go to sleep, Qi Ge. You won’t be tired in your dreams. There won’t be so many people trying to hurt you..."
Ding Ling. Su Buqi raised his fingers and flicked the blade of the sword. His eyes fell quietly on the soft sword.
"So she won't have you in her dreams."
Ning Xi was drunk and speechless. She smiled silently. Her always calm and straightforward smile became more serene: "If it were possible, I wish I was just an ordinary businessman. I would have a confidante who never doubted me. A stingy and kind person. I am jealous of my friend who likes to quarrel with me. It is difficult to realize this little wish. I will not give up. You know, the last thing I want to do in this life is to hurt her..."
However, how can they, who are so insignificant and powerless, control the trajectory of their destiny in a life of wandering and wandering.
Three thousand worlds. People are like ants.
It was already the morning of the second day when Bai Qige woke up. Although she slept in her clothes last night, all the fatigue from her body after a good night's sleep was completely gone. Her face and face were full of energy. She slept peacefully next to her with a ray of sunlight coming through the gap in the curtains. The blue-eyed man was stunned for a moment. Then he shook his head helplessly, with a slight smile on his face: "Master Ning is a profiteer after all. He is full of evil ideas."
"I've never been able to pretend to be asleep, does that mean my acting skills are poor?" Ning Xizui suddenly opened her eyes, holding her forehead and smiling.
If it were another woman, she would have screamed when she woke up and found a man who was not her husband lying next to her. Unfortunately, this woman was Bai Qige, and the man who was not her husband was Ning Xizui, so both of them were calm. It seems that he chewed up the so-called weathering as breakfast.
Because she knew that Ning Xizui would not do anything detrimental to her.
"Miss Bai, please don't tell the stingy Prince that I drugged your wine."
"I said it is a panacea for insomnia."
"Miss Bai, don't tell the stingy prince that we spent the night together in the tent."
"So what. Didn't he also sleep with the princess of Humei Kingdom all night?"
Ning Xizui was slightly stunned. She pretended to be surprised: "I thought Miss Bai was not jealous of such skills."
Bai Qige shrugged noncommittally.
It's one thing not to blame Yi Chenjing. It's another thing to have a grudge. If she can't lose her temper with Yi Chenjing, why can't she be a little jealous?
