Qu Le said: "Since Lan Ling can betray us, why can't other tribesmen betray us?"
Faced with Qu Le's question, Lan Li couldn't answer and could only respond with silence.
After a moment, Lan Li asked with difficulty: "Then what should we do now?"
"I want to see grandpa."
Lan Li said: "Elder Lan is still in Yinxue Palace."
"Let's go to the Hidden Snow Palace now and meet the Snow King."
Qu Le stood up, Xiao Feng put on her cloak, and the three of them left Sanyang Palace and went straight to Yinxue Palace.
The entire Hidden Snow Palace is made of white marble, and is covered with a layer of silver-white ice and snow. It really lives up to its name. It is pure white and has a fragrant snow color.
After being informed, Qu Le, Xiao Feng and Lan Li successfully entered the Hidden Snow Palace.
As soon as they opened the door and entered the inner bedroom, there was a strong smell of medicine. The three of them walked around the screen and saw the middle-aged man lying on the bed. Lan Li clenched a fist with one hand, placed it on his chest, and bowed slightly.
: "Well, Your Majesty."
Xiao Feng stood still and didn't move at all. He was the emperor. Only others could bend down and kneel for him, and no one could make him bend down and kneel down.
As for Qu Le, she didn't care. Anyway, when she was a young eunuch in the Wushuang City Palace, she had often bowed to people. She just bent down. She didn't have the concept of her daughter having gold under her knees, so she didn't care about such trivial matters.
She was concerned. When she saw Lan Li bending down to salute, she wondered if she should bend down as well, but as soon as she moved a little, Xiao Feng grabbed her wrist.
He said: "My wife, why do you need to worship anyone?"
Xiao Feng's voice was relatively low. King Xueyu who was lying on the bed and Elder Lan who was standing beside the bed didn't hear it, but Lan Li who was standing next to Qu Le heard it clearly.
Lan Li was shocked and confused by the words "my wife".
The Holy Lady actually got married?
And marrying a foreign man?
If the clansmen knew about this, they would all go crazy!
Lan Li wished he could knock himself unconscious with a brick now, so as not to go back and face the roars of the elders and clan members.
As Lan Li hesitated to speak, Xiao Feng pulled Qu Le's wrist tighter, asserting his ownership over Qu Le domineeringly.
Qu Le didn't notice their little movements. Her attention was focused on Elder Lan. She hadn't seen her for a long time. Grandpa seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, he was in good spirits. It seemed that he was in the Snowy Palace.
no loss
She felt a little at ease.
At the same time, Elder Lan also showed a surprised look when he saw Qu Le. He did not expect her to appear in this place at this time.
The Snow King slowly spoke: "There is no need to be polite."
Lan Li straightened up and explained his purpose: "These two are my companions. They came specifically to see the king."
The palace man carefully helped the Snow King. He was sitting on the big bed, with his back leaning on a soft pillow, and his body covered with a silk quilt with complicated and exquisite patterns. He was only in his forties, but his face was extremely haggard and pale because of illness.
, actually made him more than ten years older. He coughed lightly, his voice hoarse and weak: "Give me a seat."
The palace officials brought chairs and the four people thanked them and sat down one after another.
The Snow King's eyes swept over Xiao Feng and Qu Le. The man was plain in appearance but had a striking temperament. The girl was smart and bright, which was very pleasing. There seemed to be nothing special about them, but the relationship between them was a bit subtle.
.The Snow King has seen countless people, and he can easily see the deep tenderness in the eyes of men. It is an emotion that is only revealed when facing the person he loves. The girl who is deeply watched by him is undoubtedly him.
sweetheart.
These are their private matters. The Snow Region King was worried but didn't care. He said: "You came to see the lonely king. What do you mean?"
As for Xiao Feng's true intention of coming here, the Snow King was temporarily unclear. He chose to wait and see what happened and see what Xiao Feng would do before making any plans. He did not reveal Xiao Feng's true identity to his face. As for Xiao Feng, he did not bend down.
The illegal act of saluting was simply ignored by him.
Qu Le glanced at Elder Lan without leaving any trace, and saw that his expression had returned to calm, and both parties tacitly pretended not to know each other.
Qu Le leaned into Lan Li's ear and whispered a few words. Lan Li nodded. He looked at the King of the Snow Region and said, "The Holy Lady is missing. We would like to ask the King to help send people to search for her."
King Xueyu's response was very calm: "King Gu has already heard from Elder Lan about this matter. The saint is a distinguished guest invited by King Gu. If she is harmed in any way, it will be King Gu's responsibility. King Gu will definitely deal with it as soon as possible."
Find the Saint and give you a satisfactory explanation."
His attitude was unexpectedly calm, and Qu Le could immediately sense that Xiao Yu's disappearance had nothing to do with him.
Now that the King of the Snow Region has spoken to this extent, they naturally cannot be aggressive anymore. Lan Li walked down the steps and said: "Your Majesty understands the righteousness so well. On behalf of the people of the Southern Xinjiang tribe, I am very grateful."
A palace maid came up with a potion and bowed her head, bent her knees and saluted: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink the potion."
When the palace maid passed by Qu Le carrying the decoction, Qu Le saw that the bowl was filled with dark concoction, and the bitter medicinal smell in the air became stronger and stronger.
Seeing the Snow King frowning and drinking up the decoction in one gulp, Qu Le couldn't help but feel sympathy. If he had two bowls of such a bitter decoction every day, his tongue would be so bitter.
After drinking the medicine, the Snow King's face seemed even paler. He closed his eyes, as if he was holding back something. After a while, he opened his eyes again and apologized: "The lonely king is a little tired and wants to sleep.
You can please help yourself for a while."
Qu Le and others immediately stood up, said goodbye and left.
Not long after they walked out of Hidden Snow Palace, Elder Lan chased after them.
The four of them returned to Sanyang Hall together and drove away all the idle people in the inner hall.
Elder Lan could finally look at Qu Le carefully and was relieved after confirming that his granddaughter was safe and sound. He said slightly reproachfully: "Didn't I tell you to stay in southern Xinjiang and wait for me to come back? Isn't there in Xiya City?
Taiping, it’s too dangerous for you to come here.”
Qu Le said stubbornly: "The King of Snow Region is threatening you, I cannot ignore your safety."
"Even if you don't come, the King of Snow Region will not hurt me. His original intention is to let me live in West Asia City for a few more days. He understands that I miss my family too much, so he plans to invite you to West Asia City as a guest.
"
Qu Le looked at him in surprise: "But the King of Snow Region sent a letter to me, saying that if I don't come to Xiya City, he won't let you go back."
Elder Lan said: "That's because someone gave him an idea, saying that if he didn't tell you this, you wouldn't agree to come to Xiya City."
Qule: "..."
Almost instantly, she guessed who was the culprit who gave the Snow King the bad idea.
She gave Xiao a cold look and told him with her eyes... You are dead! I will settle the score with you later!
Xiao Feng raised the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes full of doting.
Elder Lan followed her gaze and looked at Xiao Feng. When he saw Xiao Feng smiling softly, his heart skipped a beat. What had he not seen in his life at this age? The ambiguous feelings between young people, he
It only takes one glance to confirm that the relationship between these two people is definitely not simple.
Elder Lan asked: "Are you..."
The other party was Bao'er's elder, and Xiao Feng was very willing to give her this dignity. He smiled gracefully and said: "Li Changfeng, I am Lele..."
Qu Le quietly stretched out her hand and pinched his waist, hinting him to stop talking nonsense.
She didn't mind making their relationship public, but she wanted to explain it to her grandfather in person, and now was not the time to talk about it.
Xiao Feng's eyebrows twitched, he turned to look at her and asked, "Why are you pinching me?"
Elder Lan and Lan Li looked at her paws on Xiao Feng's waist at the same time, and their eyes suddenly became very subtle.
Qu Le: "..." Damn, this guy definitely did it on purpose!
Under the silent gaze of Elder Lan and Lan Li, Qu Le twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered twice before slowly retracting his claws.
Xiao Feng continued the previous topic and smiled helplessly: "I am Lele's friend."
"Just friends?" Elder Lan had an expression on his face that said, "Are you two kidding me?"
Xiao Feng said: "There is no way, Lele doesn't agree to tell the truth, I have to listen to her."
Qu Le was shot again: "..." Xiao Wangba, please have a good fight!
Elder Lan looked at Qu Le with a hurt expression: "My granddaughter has grown up and is no longer willing to tell the truth to an old man like me."
Qu Le glared at Xiao Feng, and then quickly comforted Elder Lan: "I will tell you slowly what happened between him and me later. The top priority now is to find Xiaoyu and Ah Xun quickly. Let's not waste any more time, or
It is most important to discuss how to save people first."
Hearing this, Elder Lan immediately put away his sad expression and said seriously: "Well, the King of Snow Region has shown that he will be on our side, but this is not enough. Although the King of Snow Region is the king of Snow Region,
He has been bedridden in the past few years. The government is controlled by the eldest prince, King Jiu, and the military power is in the hands of the second prince, King Yu. The third prince, King Ling, has a high reputation among the people and cannot be ignored. The three princes are all ambitious, and among the crown princes
The war has spread to the entire Snow Region. In the first two years, the Snow Region King was able to restrain him a little, but as the Snow Region King's condition worsened, he was completely powerless to deal with the overt and covert fighting between his sons."
Having said this, Elder Lan suddenly paused and asked slowly: "I know you now suspect that the person who kidnapped Xiaoyu and Azun is the second prince, Prince Yu."
Lan Li said: "Princess Yu is the only person who has had personal contact with Xiaoyu."
Elder Lan said: "But the spy installed by King Jiu in Sanyang Palace."
Then Xiao Feng also said: "The person who helped Xiaoyu deliver the letter yesterday claimed to be from Prince Ling's Mansion."
Lan Li became more and more confused as he listened. He said in confusion: "So, the three princes are all suspicious, but why did they attack Xiaoyu and Ah Xun?"
Xiao Feng said: "Perhaps it is to sow discord between Xueyu and Southern Xinjiang, or perhaps it is to frame up. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, we have now fallen into this muddy water and cannot escape."
Qu Le said: "Since we can't get rid of it, then simply make the water muddy. If you want to get dirty, let's get dirty together. No one can be alone."
Elder Lan looked at her: "What do you mean?" (To be continued)
