The room where the master of Prince Wenxuan lived was covered with earth dragons, so it was very warm at night without burning charcoal. Logically speaking, no matter how hard Xuan Tiange slept, he would never feel the coolness. But that was how he felt tonight.
It hit her so hard that she turned over several times, and finally had to sit up from the bed and called the maid who was keeping watch at night, "Huan'er, do you think the ground dragon is not hot anymore? Why is it so cold?"
There was a maid keeping vigil next to the princess's bed. The maid lay down there with bedclothes. As long as the master called out, she could respond immediately. But the strange thing was that Xuan Tiange called out several times and waited for a while, but she didn't hear anything.
The maid replied without any shouting.
"Huan'er, why are you sleeping so soundly?" She frowned, lifted the curtain and lowered her head to look, and saw that the girl was sleeping deeply, snoring slightly, and she was sleeping even more soundly than her master. She
He reached out and pushed it down a few times, and then shouted: "Huan'er, wake up, Huan'er!" However, the maid didn't react at all and was still sleeping.
Xuan Tiange suddenly felt that something was wrong. This person was her personal maid. She had been with her for many years and she always did things the safest way. How could she suddenly sleep worse than her during the vigil? This was
Something that has never happened before. Was Huan'er sick? Or was there an accident?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard laughter suddenly coming from the middle of the room. She was startled and looked up, only to see a man in brocade robe standing in the middle of her boudoir in the dark night. He was in his twenties.
He looked very noble in his light yellow winter robe. His facial features were sharp and angular, making him look like a very outstanding person. She felt that this person looked familiar, but under such circumstances, she was frightened. Why?
Where have you seen using your mind to analyze?
Xuan Tiange stepped back cautiously, then grabbed the gown beside the bed and wrapped it around himself. Then he looked around again and found that no one else appeared except this man. It seemed to be the other person, but
But she didn't know if she had any accomplices secretly. She asked cautiously: "Who are you? Why did you break into my princess's bedroom in the middle of the night?"
She didn't know whether she should scream or not. She was afraid that her rescuer would kill her before she could come. After all, someone who could enter her room under the eyes of the secret guards outside the house could still do it.
Successfully knocked out her maid, such a person must be very skilled. Furthermore, the princess who had not left the palace was broken into her bed by a man in the middle of the night. This is a good thing to say, but if it spreads out, what will it become?
.But is it okay if she doesn’t shout? Can she deal with this person?
Xuan Tiange was very conflicted, and at the same time very scared. Although this man didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, his eyes were full of danger, as sharp as a poisonous snake, piercing into people's hearts.
She took a deep breath and asked again: "Speak, since you are here, you must let this princess know who you are."
After she said this, the man finally spoke. His voice was pleasant, a little feminine, but not feminine. He said, "I just came to see if the princess of Dashun is doing well now and if she still remembers it."
My old friend."
Old friend? Xuan Tiange was stunned for a moment, and then he looked more carefully, but the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. It’s just that this man didn’t look like the Han people from Dashun. He looked very much like the ancient Shu people in the desert. When he thought of ancient times,
Shu, her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Is that you?"
He was indeed an acquaintance, but not a friend. Xuan Tiange remembered that when she arrived in the desert, she attended the wedding of Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming. She entered the desert a few days in advance, but...
One afternoon, she rescued a seriously injured person from the street. In fact, it was not considered a rescue. The person was covered in blood and fell on the roadside. He just begged her to call a doctor and leave some money. Xuantian
Ge thought that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming were about to get married, and it would be better not to see such people on the street, so he left twenty taels of silver for him and went to the hospital to ask the doctor to deal with it.
We met briefly, but she had a deep impression on the injured man, because although the man was in a mess, the material of his clothes looked good, and he was either rich or noble. In addition, he had a typical appearance of an ancient Shu person.
, which really made her take a few more glances. She had also doubted the identity of that person at that time, but after all, one more thing was better than one less thing. She had just arrived and would be back in a few days, so there was no need to meddle in such noisy matters.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, this person came to Dashun Kyoto and entered her boudoir in the middle of the night. She was a little angry, but because they were acquainted, her fear was relieved a lot, so she asked him
"Why did you come to Dashun? Who are you?" After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the person up and down, and then asked inexplicably: "Are all the injuries on your body healed? Back then?
The injury was quite serious.”
There was a smile on the man's face, and the corners of his lips were raised evilly. He looked a bit like Xuan Tianming's evil charm. He said: "Thanks to Princess Wuyang's help, everything is fine. And the reason why
I came to Dashun mainly because I wanted to see my savior. Did you enjoy your stay in Dashun?"
"Of course I am happy!" Xuan Tiange rolled his eyes, "This is my home, I am the princess of Dashun, who dares to make me unhappy? Your worries are a bit unnecessary, right? Besides, the two of us
We don’t have such a deep friendship. Your reason is too false and untenable.” She shook her head, denying that the man came to see her, but at the same time she thought of the things going on in the palace. She said before that no one dared to let her go.
She is unhappy, but in fact, she has been unhappy these past few months!
Seeing Xuan Tiange's face fall, this state fell into the man's eyes, and there was a hint of sadness. He asked Xuan Tiange: "But someone bullied you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Xuan Tiange scolded the other party with a stern face: "Do you know what the crime is for breaking into the princess's boudoir at night? Why don't you leave quickly and wait for me to call someone to capture you?"
She thought she was speaking harshly. Although she was very curious about the other person's identity and purpose, she still thought it would be best to send him away first. She was a little panicked in the middle of the night. But after she said these words,
But the other party sneered and said: "There are four secret guards outside your bed, and there are two servants keeping vigil in the yard. There is this sleeping maid in the house, plus the soldiers of Prince Wenxuan's palace.
There are so many guards up and down, but none of them can stop me. Who else do you think you can call to take me down?"
Xuan Tiange took a breath of air. The dangerous feeling before came back again, so that she felt even colder. She subconsciously shrank back and hugged the quilt with both hands, knowing that this would not help at all.
No matter how protective it is, you still have to strive for more security for yourself.
The man just stood there without moving, his eyes always looking at her. It wasn't until he saw the growing fear in Xuan Tiange's eyes that he regretted it. What was he doing? Scaring her? That's not it.
He meant it. Then, the evil charm in his eyes subsided slightly, and his whole aura also changed a little, his face softened, and he no longer looked so gloomy. He was originally wearing a black cloak over his light yellow robe.
, although it was already April in Dashun, for him, the temperature at night was still a bit too cold, so he had to wear more clothes. The hat of the black cloak was clasped on his head, and only his face was exposed, which looked mysterious and mysterious.
Terrifying. At this moment, he took off the hat of his cloak and looked at Xuan Tiange again. He looked even more like when Xuan Tiange rescued him in the desert. c≡c≡c≡gec≡
"I didn't mean to scare you." He took the initiative and said in a much more normal tone, "I came to Dashun Capital to do something, but I also really wanted to see you. After all, you saved my life. We ancient Shu people
I am very concerned about saving my life." He did not hide where he came from. After all, the two of them met in the desert when they first met. Moreover, his appearance clearly made him a foreigner, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
Xuan Tiange gradually calmed down under the change in his momentum. She wanted to say that you can leave now that you have seen me, but what came out of her mouth was a very curious question: "What are you doing in Dashun?"
What happened?" Thinking about it again, he remembered that the new king of ancient Shu was going to visit, and he guessed: "Are you from the new king of ancient Shu? Did you come with him?" After saying that, he shook his head to himself,
"No, no, he should still be on the way. If he didn't arrive so soon, then you should be the vanguard and come to Beijing to explore the road. Well, this is normal. After all, the new king is on a visit, and Dashun and Gu Shu are not in harmony.
It’s common sense to send someone in in advance to take a look.”
The man was very interested in listening to her reasoning, so he folded his arms in front of him and continued to listen until Xuan Tiange finished analyzing the matter and added: "But the new king chose to come to Dashun at this time, so...
I don’t know whether they are enemies or friends. Today’s Dashun is dominated by the eighth prince, and the relationship between the former general in ancient Shu and the eighth prince is very good. I think there should be many remnants of that general in ancient Shu.
, Bao Buqi, the new king is secretly supporting Lao Ba. So, you chose to come to Dashun at this time, maybe you want to help Lao Ba, right?"
The man shook his head happily and told her: "No, that's not the case. The new king doesn't know your eighth prince at all, and he doesn't have any good impressions of him. On the contrary, if the eighth prince didn't learn from it,
Why did ancient Shu lose several important cities? Therefore, the new king hated him before it was too late, so how could he help him? The princess is overthinking."
"Really?" Xuan Tiange's eyes flashed, and everyone became excited. He no longer cared about being afraid. He leaned forward slightly and asked anxiously: "Are you serious about what you said? Is it true on the other side of Gu Shu?
Have a grudge against Lao Ba?"
The man nodded, "Really." He was about to say a few more words, but suddenly his ears perked up, and then he put his index finger on his lips to make a silent gesture, then lowered his voice and said to Xuantian Ge: "Someone is going
This way, I'm leaving first, we will meet again if we are destined." After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Before Xuan Tiange came back to his senses, someone from outside had already arrived at the door. It was a maid's voice: "Princess, are you talking? Is there something wrong?"
