The Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua came strolling in. On such an autumn day, he seemed to be carrying a wisp of spring breeze, gently blowing his face, so comfortable.
Xiangrong enjoys watching the way Xuan Tianhua walks, or in other words, she is willing to watch whatever Xuan Tianhua does, just like admiring a painting, which is a masterpiece in the world.
But she couldn't understand what Xuan Tianhua said today, so she asked, "What does it mean to have more people and less people? That's different."
"What's the difference?" He sat on the chair next to Xiangrong's bed, and the servants withdrew knowingly. Xuan Tianhua asked her: "Are you worried that too many people will know that you have been kidnapped?
Are you making wild guesses and ruining your reputation?"
Xiangrong nodded, "The most important thing in a woman's life is her reputation. If her reputation is gone, her life will be ruined."
"The most important thing in this life is reputation?" Xuan Tianhua was puzzled, "I think that whether you are a man or a woman, the most important thing in this life is to follow your heart."
"But I can't just think about myself." Xiangrong said, "I live in Prince Chun's Mansion now, and my reputation is related to the reputation of Prince Chun's Mansion, so I can't just think about myself, but also... His Highness the Seventh Prince."
"But I never care about that." Xuan Tianhua told her, "Don't say that we are looking for you secretly. The news has been sealed and has not been spread. Even if everyone knows it, what can we do?
?After all, you have to live your own life. Others cannot live or die for you. Naturally, they should not control your life. I have said that the best way to live is to obey your own heart. Don’t think about that.
Some don’t, we are still the same as before, just pretend that this thing has never happened, and we will do as we should.”
Hearing these words, Xiangrong felt excited in her heart, and wanted to ask what should be done? Is their engagement still valid? But in the end, she still did not ask. In this matter, she has always been passive. Xuan
It was her blessing that Tianhua married her. It was fate that Xuan Tianhua did not marry her. It was the fate she should have had. How could a mere concubine marry such an outstanding prince?
"I..." Xiangrong changed the topic, but she talked about another terrible thing. She said: "I saw His Highness the Eighth Prince at Zong Sui's place. It was very scary. You can imagine his face.
What happened to his face? That was someone from Zong Sui who took off his entire face. I don’t know why he did it. I heard it was to make a mask, but it was too cruel. His Highness the Eighth Prince was imprisoned with me.
, he whines like a monster all day long, it’s very scary.”
Xiangrong shivered as she spoke. The shock of those days still made her think it was a nightmare when she thought about it, and it was not easy to wake up from this nightmare. Sometimes, as long as she closed her eyes, she could think of what the eighth prince had become.
The monster, bloody, was the most terrifying thing she had ever seen in her more than ten years of life.
Xuan Tianhua knew that she was frightened. Even he was frightened when he saw Lao Ba's look, let alone Feng Xiangrong. He reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's all over."
Xiangrong asked him back: "Your Highness, Seventh Highness, do you think that the relationship between brothers and sisters must be like this? It is the same among princes, and it is also the same in the little Feng Mansion. They told me that Feng Fendai betrayed her.
She killed me in order to save her younger brother Xiaobao. I don’t hate Fendai, after all, she had no choice, but I was thinking, could it be that the years when I grew up with her when I was a child were all fake? She is right to
Xiaobao has feelings and is willing to betray me regardless of life and death. Is this because she is too cruel, or am I a failure as a sister?"
She didn't say these words because she wanted Xuan Tianhua to answer. She didn't even wait, and continued: "Maybe this is family affection under interests! It's pitifully small. But I know that no matter what, my
The second sister is always looking for me and will never abandon me, so I am still happy." When she mentioned Feng Yuheng, she laughed, and finally there was some rosiness on her pale face.
Tianhua also felt relieved.
He said to Xiangrong: "Some people are alive, but life is worse than death. I personally sent Lao Ba on his way. If we can be brothers again in the next life, I hope we can all be well. Xiangrong..." He paused,
Suddenly he asked a very mysterious question: "Do you believe in past and present lives?"
Xiangrong was slightly startled, then shook his head, not sure whether he said he didn't believe it or that he didn't know.
Xuan Tianhua said: "I believe it." But he didn't say why he believed it, but whenever he mentioned this topic, he would naturally think of Feng Yuheng, and also thought of the fact that she said she saw Bu Cong when she was dealing with Yu Qianyin.
Then she looked horrified. He knew that she must have seen something else, but was it a person or an object that she saw?
Leaving Xiangrong's room, Xuan Tianhua went straight to the study, and then pushed open a bookshelf in the study. Inside was a hidden door. He turned a button next to the door, and the door opened silently. Inside, there was
A dark path led to the secret room in Prince Chun's Mansion specially designed for him.
Xuan Tianhua rarely came to this secret room. Only when important decisions needed to be made, he would lock himself in here until he could think of the answer.
But today he came not for thinking, but for divination.
Few people know that Xuan Tianhua has a very mysterious divination skill, and his attainments in divination are even more accurate than the celestial phenomena observed by Qin Tianjian. This includes Xuan Tianming's disaster in the northwest four years ago, including that night
The arrival of Fengxing in this world was actually already revealed in his hexagrams, but it was the duty of Qin Tianjian and he had no intention of speaking out first.
He came here again today to do divination for the reason that Xuan Tianming had invited himself to the court a few days ago to send troops to Zong Sui on August 16th. This matter has always been awkward in his heart.
Once he expressed his intention to personally lead troops to conquer Zong Sui, he had a vague feeling that was not good. He couldn't say what that feeling was, it was not very obvious, but he still felt worried about danger.
The hexagram technique was spread out, and several small flags were placed around it, forming a Feng Shui array that was incomprehensible to outsiders. A huge Bagua chart hung above the head, and with the light of the candlelight shining on the hexagram technique below, it was vaguely illuminated.
Here are a few highlights.
The hexagrams used by Xuan Tianhua were made of crystal, in the shape of copper coins, with white, purple and yellow colors. He sprinkled them onto the hexagram cloth and then looked at them carefully.
During this period, the hexagrams occasionally moved slightly, but they did not know why. There was no wind in the secret room, and Xuan Tianhua did not use his internal energy, but the crystals on the hexagram cloth moved irregularly several times until they finally fell.
After he settled down and found exactly where he should be, he became quiet and there was no more movement.
Xuan Tianhua's expression turned solemn when he looked at Gua Bu. He held the candlestick with one hand and started shaking slightly. A large drop of sweat fell from his forehead with a "pop" sound and landed on one of the crystals.
It quickly slipped onto the Gua cloth and spread out.
He sighed and shook his head helplessly.
This hexagram indicates that Xuan Tianming will fight against Zong Sui, which will be very bad.
He put down the candlestick, took back the crystal hexagrams on the hexagram cloth and held it in his hand. Finally, when the crystal hexagrams were sprinkled on the hexagram cloth again, his expression changed again, but seemed to be a little more solemn than before.
This hexagram predicts himself, the hexagram of death.
He smiled bitterly and murmured: "So what if I die? I am alone, but you still have her!" As he said that, Feng Xiangrong's face reappeared in his mind, as if it was deliberately reminding him.
, you are not alone, you also have a girl who has made a promise and is waiting for you to fulfill it.
But Xuan Tianhua smiled again and said: "After all, he is just a child. He just turned into a devil with one thought, but he doesn't know who the person in the world should be cherished most. That's all. After all, I don't have anyone to join hands with."
My mother and concubine are raising me to die. Even if it means death, I can't let anything happen to her only biological son. Ah Heng, I can't be with you in life, but I am willing to die so that I can stay with him for the rest of my life."
After that, he stood up and walked out of the secret room without any hesitation. After the door and bookshelf were closed again, he walked to the desk and wrote quickly. After writing, he sealed the mouth with fire paint, and then called a secret guard to come out.
He ordered: "Go to Ji'an County quickly, and be sure to hand this secret letter into the hands of the fourth prince in person, without any mistakes."》≠》≠》≠》≠,
The secret guard took the letter, responded, and then disappeared in a flash.
Xuan Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief, this was the last arrangement he could make for Xiangrong.
For dinner that day, he did not leave the house and put off everything else just to have a meal with Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun was still a little guilty about Xiangrong and kept telling Xuan Tianhua: "Aheng has checked everything."
However, the third girl has not been violated in any way, and she is still an innocent girl. Hua'er, we can't reject someone else's girl just because she has a bad reputation, that girl is quite good."
Xuan Tianhua put down the bowls and chopsticks and said to Concubine Yun: "Don't worry, concubine, my son has never thought that way, that girl will be happy." But this happiness is not what I can give. "By the way," he said again:
"On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Ming'er will lead his troops to the eastern border to prepare to attack Zong Sui. Before that, I have something I want to ask him to do for me. Of course, my mother and concubine must come forward to help."
Concubine Yun was very curious as to what was going on, because Xuan Tianhua had never asked for anything. Ever since she was a child, although she thought she regarded this child as her biological son, Xuan Tianhua was obviously much more sensible than Xuan Tianming.
, don’t ask for anything, don’t want anything, take whatever you’re given, and won’t fight with Xuan Tianming. She always feels that she owes something in these small things, and today Xuan Tianhua spoke, she thought,
No matter what her son asked for, she had to get it done!
So Concubine Yun happily asked him: "Tell me, what is it?" Then she added: "Anything is possible. As long as you are willing to say it, I can do anything, and Ming'er can do anything."
!”
Xuan Tianhua raised a faint smile and said to Concubine Yun: "As I mentioned before, I will go to Ji'an County to propose marriage before the Moon Festival. I'm thinking that the date is coming soon, so I will delay more on the way.
The time is three days at the latest before we can make it in time. The marriage has always been arranged by the parents or the matchmaker, but it is not convenient for me to show up. My mother-in-law said before that you would go there in person, but I was worried, so I thought about it.
See if Ming'er can go for me. I will order the soldiers here for him and send them some way to the east border. He only needs to deliver his mother and concubine safely to Ji'an County, and then chase him to the east. Mother and concubine
