The carriage drove out of Xuanwu Gate and stopped in front of the gate of a garden in the east of the city. Standing in front of the gate was a middle-aged woman about thirty years old, leading several servants who had been waiting here for a long time.
In fact, they were all selected by Zhao Changde in the palace to serve Cen Xue. One of them, the girl wearing a water-red dress, was Lan Qier!
As soon as Cen Xue got off the carriage, Lan Qi'er couldn't help shouting: "Master——"
It turned out to be Lan Qier, who had not thought about other things for a while and almost forgot her in the palace.
"Why did you run out?" Cen Xue thought, she should be in the palace.
"My slave has been pestering Eunuch Zhao every day, begging him to let me come to you. Yesterday he came to see me and asked me to pack my luggage and follow Aunt Lan out of the palace to wait for you in this villa." Lan Qier is.
She is determined to stay by Cen Xue's side.
"Silly girl, the food and housing in the palace are good, why do you want to follow me out?" Cen Xue looked at her distressedly and said.
"No matter how nice the palace is, there is no master here." Lan Qier started to cry at the corners of her eyes as she said this.
Standing aside, Aunt Lan looked at the affectionate side of the master and servant, and finally understood why Lan Qi'er would follow Concubine Xue to the death.
"Mother, it's windy outside, so we'd better go inside and talk." Aunt Lan stepped forward and helped her in together.
Cen Xue walked in and took a closer look at the villa. Although it was not very big or luxurious, it gave her a very elegant feeling. She fell in love with it from the bottom of her heart. Lan Qier took her to walk in the villa.
After walking around, there is the front pavilion in front and the front pavilion in the back.
In the inner hall, this garden is not big. Lan Qier went to take a closer look. There are nine rooms in total. Among them, the room with the window next to the elegant garden is the best. This should be the master's bedroom. There are four other wing rooms.
, and the other four rooms are servants’ rooms.
After passing through the inner hall, you can go directly to the elegant courtyard at the back. There are small bridges, flowing water, and a rockery. There are several plum trees planted in the garden, which will bloom in a month or two. Imagine that then
The scenery must be very beautiful...
"Master, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?" Lan Qier helped her sit on a stool under the plum blossom tree, and accompanied her to quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
Cen Xue looked at this place silently, it was good, this is the life she wants now...
He Lianzhi looked at her leaving figure and couldn't find his original self for a long time. Ever since Cen Xue's accident, he didn't seem to know what he was doing every day. What should he do? In his mind and heart
, all those pretending to be Cen Xue’s shadow, only Cen Xue.
In order not to arouse her emotions, he temporarily came up with this method to appease her, but as soon as she left, his soul seemed to leave with her.
Yuwen Tuo had never seen him like this before. When he came to the royal study room, he saw him sitting on the dragon chair. Even when he was about to walk in front of him, he didn't react at all.
"Yuwen Tuo, please see the king." Since the last quarrel in Xiao Boyi's study, everyone seemed to have become unfamiliar in an instant.
Hearing a strange voice, He Lianzhi came back to his senses from Cen Xue's world. Seeing that Yuwen Tuo was coming, he sighed and said: "Tuo, sit down, are you interested in having a drink with Gu?"
"Okay..." Yuwen Tuo knew that he would definitely want to drink heavily now.
"The Royal Study is not a place for drinking. Let's go somewhere else." He Lianzhi stood up and walked out first.
Yuwen Tuo followed him to Xingqing Palace. Helianzhi drank heavily, as if he wanted to use the wine to numb his longing heart.
"Tuo, do you think there is any way to recover from the injury on Cen Xue's face?" Helianzhi asked, drinking himself cup after cup.
"What did Dr. Keser say?" Yuwen Tuo believed that Keser must have a solution.
Helianzhi put down his wine glass and answered him clearly drunk: "Dr. Keser is very good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, but he is relatively weak in this area. He is also at a loss now. It is obvious that Cen Xue's injuries are deep.
Bones cannot be restored by ordinary drugs."
"Let's go to Wuji Mountain. Maybe Elder Muyue and Mr. Guiguzi can find a solution?" Yuwen Tuo didn't know much, only the three of them.
"Alas... Gu's only hope now is them. Tomorrow Qinglong and Xuanwu will set off to go to Wuji Mountain to invite Elder Muyue and Mr. Guigu to the palace for discussion." He Lianzhi hugged him.
With the last glimmer of hope, if even they couldn't do anything, he would have no choice but to scratch his own face together with Cen Xue.
During the conversation, Helianzhi drank one cup after another. Yuwen Tuo couldn't persuade him even if he wanted to.
As night fell, He Lianzhi was drunk and unconscious. Yuwen Tuo asked Zhao Changde to take good care of him. Xingye left the palace and returned to the general's mansion. Counting the days, the carrier pigeon should have almost flown to Hongshan City. He was already feeling guilty and regretful.
He was so drunk that he didn't know what He Lianjue's reaction would be when he saw the letter he wrote.
Cen Xue was lying in front of the window sill wearing a shawl that Ling'er had sewn for her. She no longer dared to look in the mirror. There was no bronze mirror in the room because she no longer needed it.
The weather is getting colder and colder. I heard from Lan Qi'er that it might snow in about a month or so, but even if it snows, their Loulan country will not be as cold as Dongou, and the chance of snow is also lower.
rare.
He reached out and gently stroked his cheek under the veil, hoping that the nightmare would stay away from him...
It was late at night, Cen Xue closed the window, and just turned around and walked a few steps away from the window, there seemed to be a knocking sound outside the window?
"Who is it? Who is outside?" Cen Xue turned back to the window. When she opened the window, there was a man in black standing outside the window, staring at him with his eagle-like black eyes.
She looked.
"Ah -" Cen Xue was so frightened that she stepped back and looked at the man outside the window in horror.
The man quickly turned over and entered the room. The candlelight in the room allowed Cen Xue to see clearly who was coming. It was him? The man who blocked her way on the street that day?
"It's you, why did you show up here? How did you show up at my home?" Cen Xue looked at him in surprise. Normally, she would have been very scared, but now she has changed beyond recognition. Who would be afraid of a Yaksha-like person?
women are interested.
The man approached her, and Cen Xue retreated all the way to the table. Watching him approach her step by step, she gritted her teeth and pulled down the veil on her face, revealing her ferocious face.
"Let's go. I am no longer who I was back then. Take a good look at this face..." As Cen Xue said, her heart tightened and tears fell from her eyes.
The man looked at her half-faced cheek with scars. Although the trauma had healed, it was not difficult to see that the scars were very deep, which showed how painful she was at that time!
Cen Xue's red eyes were filled with tears. Not only did he not show any signs of being frightened, but he also seemed to be approaching her. This made Cen Xue a little confused. What on earth did this man want to do? Didn't he want to belittle her?
?
"Now that my face is covered with stab wounds, I am no longer the confident me I used to be. Why don't you leave?" Cen Xue looked at him doubtfully, unable to guess what he wanted to do?
The man looked at her injured face carefully, without showing any sign of fear or disgust. Instead, he turned around and closed the window, came back and sat next to her, and poured himself a cup of tea...
"You..." Cen Xue hesitated whether to drive him away or not.
After the man took a sip of hot tea, he looked up at Cen Xue and then answered her question: "I have known about your accident for a long time. It was precisely because your face was injured that I rushed to find you and take you away.
of."
His words made Cen Xue instantly surprised. How did he know that he was injured? Why did he come here to take her away? What did he mean?
The man looked at Cen Xue's surprised look, raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, then said, "My name is Tengge, and I am the leader of a tribe. Maybe the witch doctor of our tribe can help you with the injury on your face."
Come on, I can’t say that I can guarantee that you will be 100% restored to your original state, but a recovery of 70% or 80% may be possible. It depends on whether you are willing to follow me?"
Cen Xue listened to his words quietly. She had already lost confidence, but now she seemed to have found a little spark of hope for survival. No matter whether what he said was true or not, she was willing to give it a try.
"Brother Tenge, are you really willing to take me out of here?" Cen Xue started to look at him nervously and asked.
"That's right, as long as you want, we can leave here at any time." Tenge saw through her mind. The spies in the palace had already told him that she had threatened Helian with death to let her leave. He knew that this
When I come to Loulan this time, I am 100% sure that I can bring her back to Tuva.
Tears were welling up in Cen Xue's eyes. Suddenly, she knelt in front of Tenge and shouted to him warmly: "Brother Tenge, I don't care what your purpose is in taking me away, and I don't care whether my face can be cured."
, now I just want to leave here, so no matter if I go to the end of the world, please take me away, take me to a place where Helianzhi will never find me, and just let me live the rest of my life."
Tenge didn't expect that she would have such thoughts. He sighed and helped her up: "Don't make it so serious. You pack your bags first. If possible, we'll leave now!"
"Okay, let's go now. You wait for me. I just need to bring a few changes of clothes." Cen Xue wiped away her tears and covered her ugly cheeks with her veil again.
Tenge sat at the table and drank a few sips of hot tea. Cen Xue quickly packed up a few sets of clothes and took away the jewelry in the jewelry box. When going out, you always need some transportation for self-defense. Finally, in
After looking at this room, she felt that she was about to leave in a hurry before she could stay for one night...
