Chapter 27: Leaving the Palace
Chapter 27: Leaving the Palace
Under the night moon, in the inner hall of the bedroom, the two cuddled each other on the bed.
The matter of setting up a concubine has been decided.It is a fact that no one can change that Xiaolong wants to confer Xiao Xiang as a concubine.
"Xiang'er, the fifteenth day of next month will be the time when I marry you." Xiaolong leaned against the head of the bed, hugged Xiao Xiang to his chest, and lightly brushed his black long hair.
The two were wearing thin undershirts, and their skins were beaded with beads of sweat due to midsummer.
"Xiang'er, are you hot? Can I order some ice cubes?"
"Well, it's okay..." But the person in his arms bowed his head, making Xiaolong unable to see clearly and guess Xiao Xiang's thoughts.
I felt that Xiao Xiang seemed to be preoccupied, Xiaolong tightened his arms around his waist slightly, leaned his head against his ear and asked softly, "Xiang'er, before becoming a concubine, do you want to go back to Yunshan to visit Master Xiao?" ?”
Xiao Xiang was taken aback.Breaking free from that warm chest, he raised his head and looked up, "Xiaolong!..." Could it be that the emperor already knew about me? !
Looking at Xiao Xiang's expression, Xiaolong knew the worry in his heart, so he smiled tenderly and hugged him back in his arms, "Xiang'er, you don't have to worry. I already knew about you." He took Xiao Xiang's Pressing his head to his own lips, he kissed lightly on the other side's frowning brows, "I know you are the son of Master Xiao and Cui Xuan's elder brother. I know you once tried to rob the prison, but it's a pity that you came a step too late... ..."
Xiao Xiang silently listened to Xiaolong's eloquence, he really didn't expect that the emperor even knew about his robbery.Not only did she not blame him, but she loved him very much, and even wanted to make him a concubine...
"Xiaolong..." He stared blankly at the person hugging him.This person treats me so well, why don't I want to stay by his side forever?
What went wrong?Don't I want to be happy?
Hearing Xiao Xiang's astonished and moved whisper, Xiaolong smiled triumphantly, "Go out of the palace and return to Yunshan tomorrow, as long as you come back before the canonization ceremony, I will do whatever you want."
Everything is up to me... Your Majesty, you have treated me so well...
The next morning, Xiaolong gave Xiao Xiang the mount that always belonged to the emperor, and sent him straight to the palace gate.Under the eyes of everyone, the two embraced and kissed deeply for a long time.The guards blushed and pretended not to see, but it was Xiao Xiang's panting that reached their ears.I saw the emperor domineeringly hugged Aifei's waist and neck until his lips parted. The bright red morning light shone on the connected silver thread, clearly proclaiming the emperor's doting on this person.
"Xiang'er, I heard that the epidemic in Xiguan shows signs of spreading. You have to be more careful." If it wasn't for making Xiao Xiang stay by his side with peace of mind in the future, Xiaolong would not be willing to let him go out of the palace and return home alone.
Looking at Xiao Xiang who rode his horse away, Xiaolong called the dead man who had been in the shadows and was once subordinate to the Taifu, and ordered in a cold voice, "Follow Xiao Xiang secretly. I want to know where he went along the way. See you." Who is it?"
After walking out of the imperial city, Xiao Xiang couldn't think of where to go for a while.If I go back to the Xiaojian faction, I'm afraid that if my father finds out that his only son is going to be the emperor's concubine, he may immediately imprison him in Yunshan...
Thinking of the current result, Xiao Xiang couldn't help but think of the beginning of everything.At that time, it was General Cui who sent me to the palace and told me to do it myself.
Unexpectedly, in the end I succeeded in revenge.The price is to stay in the deep palace forever, stay beside the emperor as his concubine...
From then on, you can no longer roam the rivers and lakes.Freedom is gone from me...
As of now, there is no regret.
Xiao Xiang was standing in the hall of Cui Mansion at the moment.A year ago, I once begged Old General Cui to help him take revenge here full of hatred.Unexpectedly, a year later, he finally got his revenge, but he lost his freedom since then.
"Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Xiang came back to his senses, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy coming to the hall, with an open book in his hand, rushing straight into his arms.
"True?!"
"Brother Xiao! You haven't been here for a whole year! Where have you been?! What happened to the master?"
There was a suffocation in his chest, and Xiao Xiang was very uncomfortable by Xiaozhen's last words.
Has no one told him that Kohane is gone...
"Xiao Zhen..." Looking at the young man in front of him, everything seemed to be just yesterday.
Is one year so short?
He caressed Xiaozhen's long hair, and the jade-inlaid hair crown on that head indicated that Xiaozhen was no longer the servant boy in the past, but the young master of the Cui family.
"Xiaozhen, when you grow up a bit, if General Cui allows, I will take you to see Mr. Rong, okay?"
Hearing such an answer, Xiaozhen's eyes were sore, and the suspicion he had been dreading in his heart had become a reality, "Master... has he... died...?" said In the end, I could no longer pretend to be strong, and tears fell down my face.
The truth, after all, can't be hidden...
Xiao Xiang held the child in his arms, but he didn't know how to comfort him.How can we comfort the loss of a loved one?As far as Xiao Xiang knew, since Xiao Yu redeemed her body, Xiao Zhen treated her like a master.But the closeness of those two, to Xiaozhen, Xiaoyu is like an elder brother.Just like Cui Xuan is his younger brother...
Suddenly someone whispered from behind, "Zhen'er..."
Xiao Zhen looked up and saw that it was Old General Cui, so he ran into his arms and cried again, "Father! Master Rong is dead! I really guessed right! Master, he went with the prince and the general!"
Old General Cui looked at Xiao Xiang, his eyes seemed to reprimand Xiao Xiang for telling the truth without authorization.
"Mei, take the young master back to the room to rest first."
The maid bowed to receive the order and led the young master who was already taller than her out of the hall.
"Xiao Xiang," there were only two of them left in the hall.Old General Cui's tone still carried the general's coldness and gloom, "Congratulations, the great revenge has been avenged."
Xiao Xiang rolled his eyes and smiled wryly, and responded quietly, "Mmm..."
Old General Cui walked slowly to the wide chair at the bottom of the hall and sat down, "I heard that the emperor wants to make you a noble concubine."
Xiao Xiang was taken aback.Unexpectedly, Old General Cui knew the news so quickly.In order to take revenge, she actually committed herself to be the male favorite to serve the emperor's bed.I'm afraid, Old General Cui never thought that I would use such a humiliating and lowly method to take revenge.Xiao Xiang snorted coldly, he really didn't know how he should face the person in front of him, so he just bowed his head and turned his back to General Cui.
Old General Cui saw it in his eyes, and said in a slightly soft tone, "You said that you can do anything for revenge."
"......Um."
"Now, the great revenge has been avenged. You can also become the emperor's concubine in one step. Xiao Xiang, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"...I don't know either." I really don't know why I'm not high yet.Why don't I feel comfortable at all...
Old General Cui looked at the slender back and couldn't help sighing, "Hong Shinian used to be your fellow apprentice, but he was the one who betrayed you first. You don't have to worry about the old fellowship anymore, let go of your heart as soon as possible." Get depressed." Old General Cui only thought that because Xiao Xiang was too soft-hearted and still missed the old friendship, that's why he was still worried and depressed.
Xiao Xiang understood Old General Cui's intentions, turned around and gave a wry smile, frowned and said lightly, "...Thank you."
However, Old General Cui couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he saw him in a trance.
Xiao Xiang didn't pay attention to the old general's sigh, but just kept thinking about what he said just now.Do I really feel that I can't miss the world just because of Gu Nian Xiri's fellowship?
It's good that I didn't make him drink the poisoned wine...
