Looking up at the carefree and comfortable Wan Qijing, Shi Bai realized what he was doing and quickly thanked her.
"Haha, thank you, it's just a small effort." Wan Qijing smiled lightly at the two of them and then ordered behind him, "Bring Mr. Shi out quickly."
"yes,"
The cell guard immediately opened the iron chain on Shi Baijian's feet and respectfully invited him out. General Shi walked behind him and raised his hand to Wan Qijing again, his eyes filled with meaning.
The sun was setting in the west, it was almost dusk, and the sky was getting blurry. The inside and outside of the palace were covered with a thin layer of golden color, which was dazzling and gorgeous. Xiao Yu held the newly picked peach blossoms and glanced at the guards guarding the Nianxi Palace.
, lowered his head and went straight to the palace.
After closing the palace door, he quickly threw the flowers aside, found Mai Mai and gave her the letter on his body, "Sister Xuanyun, this is sent by Concubine Mei."
"So soon?" Mai Mai raised her eyebrows slightly and took the letter. She just came here in the morning, and now she has a plan. It seems that she really doesn't want her to stay in the palace for a moment.
There were only a few lines in the letter, asking Mai Mai to find a way to sneak out of Nianxi Palace and go to the east gate tomorrow night at Xu time. On the pretext of giving some knitted silk and satin back to her parents' home, she would be mixed in with the procession and sent out of the palace together.
"Mistress, is there a scam?" Lou Su, who was behind him, asked worriedly.
Mai Mai handed the letter to Xiao Yu, "Burn it." He turned back to look at the two of them and said in a clear voice, "From Nianxi Palace to the palace gate, there are at least four checkpoints that require identity verification and palace exit procedures. I think.
To sneak out of the palace smoothly without checking at all levels, you need to have Wan Qiqing's hand gesture, or the will of Concubine Mei. Even if she has evil intentions, she would not dare to do anything in the palace. Therefore, we will use the trick.
"In a blink of an eye, he looked at Guisu and said, "Gui, send a message to Xiu for me."
The reason why Xun sent Gui Su and Lou Su into the palace was that he must have made complete preparations. This opportunity must not be missed.
"Yes, mistress." Guisu responded seriously.
At this time, Xiao Yu returned nervously, "Sister Xuanyun, the emperor is here."
Lou Su and Gui Su looked at each other and hurriedly exited.
The gate of Nianxi Palace opened wide. First, a dozen eunuchs walked in in an orderly manner holding red lacquer boxes engraved with dragon patterns. Then they opened the boxes one by one and placed the meals on the table. There were two more eunuchs.
On the small dining table, there are all snacks, side dishes and porridge.
After preparing these, the eunuchs bowed and retreated one after another, leaving only a few serving eunuchs.
Mai Mai glanced at the dozens of dishes, which were much more exaggerated than those for lunch. However, ancient emperors always liked to "show off" when it came to eating. A standard meal had a hundred and twenty dishes, which could fill three meals a day.
Big table. In comparison, these are not exaggerated.
Wan Qiqing, who was dressed in a plain shirt, strolled forward, his face becoming more and more handsome, and his brows and eyes full of smiles. When he saw Mai Mai staring blankly at the table full of dishes, his lips raised a beautiful arc.
"Jun'er, are you hungry?"
Mai Mai raised her eyes, glanced at him, and sat quietly at the table. Everyone in the palace had become spirits, so there was no need for her to pretend anymore.
Wan Qiqing took the hot towel handed by the eunuch, wiped his hands, and then sat next to her. He stared at her with a pair of deep and dark eagle eyes. They had only seen each other for a long time, and his thoughts were already overflowing.
It's such a disaster that I can't calm down and do anything at all.
Mai Mai felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She grabbed her chopsticks in a covert manner and ate silently.
For a long time, he shook his head and laughed, laughing at himself, "Haha, I'm really hopeless." He leaned back relaxedly, raised his eyes, and never looked away from her.
He is like an ignorant boy who has just tasted the taste of love. Even if he gives her the most beautiful and best things in the world, it is not enough to express his mood at the moment. He really wants to keep her tied to his side all the time. Love a woman. Love
To this point, he felt terrified.
Ignoring his meaningless words, Mai Mai still lowered her head. Emotions are selfish for her. Since all her feelings were given to Yu, she will stick to this persistence like faith.
.
Turning her eyes slightly, she caught a glimpse of his interest and gaze, and Mai Mai put down her chopsticks boredly, "Are my acting skills bad? When did you realize it?"
Wan Qiqing's eyelids were half-closed, and he looked at the vase of lily of the valley on the flower stand with his peripheral vision. His voice was a bit desolate, "No matter how you disguise it, the tenderness from your heart when you look at them cannot be hidden."
"Then you should understand my thoughts."
Mai Mai pondered for a moment, then raised her head and looked at him with sincere eyes, "I will not be your queen, nor will I fall in love with you. My words may be straightforward or even cruel, but that's because I don't want to see you fall into trouble.
I can't extricate myself from the mud. I can't afford your love, but I can only respond with a word of gratitude, but it sounds so pale and empty. We need to meet the only one at the right time, you and me...
…missed it.”
His stern face remained calm and he listened quietly.
Have you really missed it? Was you thrown into the abyss just once, never to be recovered?
He took a long breath, ignored the sourness in his heart, picked up the golden plate, carefully selected a few new dishes, and brought them to her, "Here, try these."
Mai Mai stared at him and chuckled, "Thank you."
"Jun'er, how about having a drink with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the serving eunuch behind him cleverly walked to the door and asked someone to get it. Mai Mai nodded friendly, "I'm not too strong to drink, so I'll just take a few sips." If she really had to leave here tomorrow, she would still
I hope this can end in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
It wasn't long before a eunuch came in with a tray, handed the wine to the eunuch serving as the waiter, and waited outside the door with his head lowered.
When the eunuch stepped forward to pour the wine, Wan Qiqing's eyes glanced at him inadvertently. When he touched the black boots exposed under his feet, small wrinkles appeared between his eyebrows. Then he returned his gaze without any trace, picked up the wine glass and put it away.
Playing with it in his hand, he said, "They say wine can cause sexual incest, but I have never been drunk before. I really want to give it a try today." After that, he raised his head and drank it.
Mai Mai pursed her lips and smiled, "This is just an excuse to use the topic. In fact, wine is an obvious thing."
"Oh?" Wan Qiqing tilted his head slightly, and the faint smell of alcohol sprayed on her face, "Maybe I really need to use it to release my long-suppressed feelings. It's better for us to have a drunken love affair."
Mai Mai leaned back and looked at him helplessly, "It would be too insincere to want to use it to commit murder after just one cup."
"Haha..." Wan Qiqing laughed heartily. He had never laughed so heartily since he ascended the throne. He grabbed her hand emotionally, "Jun'er, why don't you like me? The position of queen is
It has to be you!"
"I……"
Just when Mai Mai was about to take out her hand, Wan Qiqing suddenly flashed his light, pulled her up and jumped to the side.
A cold light passed by, mixed with decisive hatred.
"Jun'er! You actually betrayed our feelings! It's useless for me to think about you in prison, all I care about is you!" The angry, almost hysterical roar almost pierced Mai Mai's eardrums.
She was held in Wan Qiqing's arms, and when she saw clearly the person rushing over again, she was stunned.
It's him, see Shi Bai!
Lan Xuanjun's childhood sweetheart once broke into Prince Qing's Mansion to rescue her, and finally set fire to him secretly and took her to escape. Unfortunately, Wan Qiqing chased her back halfway. Because the loss of Qing'er at that time took away all her attention, so much so that she would
He forgot everything. It can be heard from his words that he should have been kept in prison by Wan Qiqing.
Mai Mai suddenly felt guilty. She took possession of Lan Xuanjun's body, and took advantage of Shi Baijian's feelings. She just wanted to take Qing'er to escape from Prince Qing's Mansion, but in the end she completely forgot about him.
She looked at him with apologetic eyes, "Master Shi, I'm really sorry, I..."
Before Mai Mai could finish speaking, the soft sword in Shi Baijian's hand had already struck, "You wanton woman, I'll kill you!"
He offended the emperor because of this woman and was imprisoned. But what about her? Out of vanity, she actually fell into his arms again.
After he heard about Maimai from his father, he found a few more people to confirm it, but got the same answer. He suddenly became hateful. It was not that she couldn't help it, nor was it beyond her capabilities, nor was it his imagination.
The one in the story had the same mind as his own. But he seduced several kings regardless of shame in order to covet wealth and honor.
He couldn't bear this kind of betrayal. As soon as he returned to the general's palace, he stole his father's palace entry and exit token and sneaked in. He just wanted to ask her personally. As long as she denied it, he was still willing to believe her. However, after witnessing the two with his own eyes,
After someone flirted with someone, his only trace of reason was blinded by hatred.
Wan Qiqing did not fight back, but just turned Mai Mai in a circle to avoid his sword.
The eunuchs were so frightened that they ran out of the house and shouted, "Catch the assassin, catch the assassin! Quickly protect me, protect me!"
Hundreds of masters guarding the outside of Nianxi Palace rushed into the palace after hearing the abnormality.
Shi Bai saw his ears twitching, and after hearing the footsteps outside, his eyes became even redder. His body was as fast as lightning, and he stabbed forward with his sword desperately.
Staring at the oncoming sword, McMahon didn't even have a chance to hide. His sword was too fast, and when she saw it clearly, the sword had already pierced her chest...
"puff!"
The sharp blade penetrated into the flesh, making a horrifying sound.
"You..." Looking at Wan Qiqing standing in front of him, Mai Mai's eyes widened in shock. After regaining consciousness, he exclaimed, "Why don't you fight back?"
His martial arts skills were superior to Shi Baijian's, but he had no intention of fighting back and just blocked the sword abruptly.
At the same time, the guards rushed out, surrounded Shi Baijian and beat him together.
"No one is allowed in!" Wan Qiqing shouted, and the guards guarded the door vigilantly.
Just after three moves, Shi Baijian was restrained.
Being pushed to the ground, he still shouted angrily, "You lied to me, Jun'er, you lied to me!"
Glancing at the people on the ground, Wan Qiqing's voice was extremely cold, "Send him back to prison and be sentenced to death for absconding."
"Jun'er, I hate you, I hate you!"
The guard expressionlessly blocked his mouth and held him down.
"Don't reveal a single word about today's matter."
"I obey." Several eunuchs knelt outside the house, shaking their bodies and responded.
The blood stained the plain shirt red and gradually spread on his back.
Staring at Mai Mai's surprised and pale pretty face, he raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you a little touched?"
