Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 226

An increasingly clear cry came from her ear, Xue Yi slowly opened her eyes, but Shangguan Fenglan hugged her tightly in her arms, the strength made her almost suffocate, only then did she realize the pain in her chest. Pain, she coughed and panted heavily, his warm palm pressed against her back and kept smoothing the breath she had held for too long.

The wind carried the freezing chill of a spring night, her limbs were swollen, and she was already numb from the cold.

Shangguan Fenglan immediately took off his thick fur cloak and wrapped it around her. Xue Yi was surprised, and pushed him with her feeble hand, "I don't regret it"

"Don't worry, I don't regret going back to the palace."

Hearing these words, Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and fell into Shangguan Fenglan's arms tiredly. This sleep lasted for three days, and when she woke up three days later, Shangguan Fenglan sat with a pair of haggard eyes. At the head of the bed, he was busy with affairs during the day, and at night he was carrying official documents and guarding Xue Yi in the bedroom. The deep eye sockets made Xue Yi feel a little pain in his heart.

Abi led a group of maids to change Xueyi's clothes and washed them, and then brought food. Seeing Shangguan Fenglan sitting there, Xueyi seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, but she didn't speak for a long time .

Indeed, during these three days, Shangguan Fenglan had been thinking about one question.

He didn't regret being rescued that night, so he rushed to Xizhuang to rescue Xueyi. When he found her, the pool water seemed to swallow her whole. At that time, seeing the few strands of hair floating on the surface of the pool, he almost broke his heart.

Cutting off the iron chain, he fished her out from the bottom of the water. He shook his hands a few times and didn't dare to probe for her breath. Finally, he felt that she still had a slight pulse. After a few sips of water, he realized that his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

"Princess, I heard from Mr. Meng Ran that when the lord and him arrived, you, princess—you were already soaked in the pool, and you—how did you—" Before Abi finished speaking, her eyes were already hot and humid.

Abi's face was also pale, with sunken eye sockets, and she must have been guarding Xueyi outside without sleeping. Over the years, Xueyi had been in life and death several times, and Abi deeply felt the feeling of despair and heartache. Once, I hated myself even more for being incompetent.

Xue Yi glanced at Shangguan Fenglan's expression, presumably he also had this doubt in his heart, he walked over, pinched the jade on her chest, and stared at it for a while: "Could it be it again?"

Xue Yi smiled and shook his head, "No, the one who saved me was actually just a straw."

"Grass, straw?" Abi was puzzled.

Xue Yi made a gesture and said: "The water prison has been abandoned for a long time, and the place is dark, so clusters of weed Artemisia argyi grew out from the corner of the wall. I saw that the pole was the size of two mung beans, so when they came in I took a tube out and put it in the skirt of my clothes."

"Yes, but how can this straw pole save you?" Abi was still puzzled.

Xue Yi said: "The center of the grass pole is empty, and the water in the pool rose up. I lowered my head and picked up the grass pole and stretched out of the water, but I sucked in a thin layer of air, and managed to hold on for a while." After speaking, he looked at Shangguan. Feng Lan, "I know you will be able to save me without regret, and I have been working hard to wait for you to save me."

After hearing Xue Yi's explanation, Shangguan Fenglan was naturally amazed. Thinking about what Xue Yi had told him about Ye Xue, he guessed that this method of survival was probably also understood by Ye Xue.But even so, if it wasn't for the tuft of Artemisia weeds and his timely arrival, she would really—

Thinking of this, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his face darkened, "You shouldn't go there rashly and leave the danger to yourself. What if—" He paused, but didn't continue.

Xue Yi held his cold hand with some guilt, and said slowly: "Feng Lang, I can't take the risk of no regrets, Die Shuang specified that I should go alone, if she didn't see me, she would definitely hurt no regrets." , I can’t bet on my child’s life.”

"Have you ever thought about what the king and the child will do if you are really gone!" Shangguan Fenglan became more angry because of the fear in his heart, and his tone became a little cold.

Seeing him pulling away his hand, Xueyi felt a little sad in her heart. Abi didn't know how to explain it completely. After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Xueyi said in a low voice: "If I'm really not here in the future Yes, I also believe that you can bring up our children well, I have nothing to worry about."

Although these words were light, each word hit Shangguan Fenglan's heart, his eyes sank, and he suddenly grabbed her hand, "Say it again!"

Xueyi endured the discomfort in his heart, and said sourly: "I know you can do it."

He grabbed her hand unconsciously and exerted force, stared at Xue Yi's face, and said displeasedly: "Abi, you step back first!" It was difficult for her to mediate between his husband and wife, and because she was worried about Xue Yi, she said slightly: "My lord, my lord, my princess. She hasn't eaten yet."

Shangguan Fenglan remained silent, Abi gritted her teeth, but had no choice but to lead the servants out of the bedroom, but waited in the outside room and dared not leave.

"What do you mean by what you said just now!" Shangguan Fenglan grabbed Xue Yi's wrist a little harder, Xue Yi frowned slightly in pain, she knew he was angry, but she couldn't tell the pain in her heart He, she was very glad that the love flower poison back then was gone after he died once, and she was afraid that he would know how she was feeling right now.

The more she endured, the more she couldn't help it. Tears welled up like a frenzy, but she still suppressed them in her heart.

"Do you have something to hide from me?!" Shangguan Fenglan pulled hard, forcing her to look up.

Xue Yi pretended to be angry and threw his hand away, threw himself into the bed, and said impatiently: "I am not hiding anything, you are so angry, are you blaming me for being impulsive this time, or is it in your eyes that the child is not It doesn't matter! Just like you did to Shu'er!"

There was a ghostly silence in the room for a moment.

Shangguan Fenglan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were as cold as frost and snow, and there was even a hint of injury.

Xue Yi's words were like a double-edged knife, cutting at his vitals.

He just cared about him and her children, so he was worried that he would be partial to Shu'er, and she would be sad, but neglecting Shu'er made him worry whether she would think him as the kind of ruthless and indifferent person, and she The words just now undoubtedly made him cut to the ground.

In terms of selfishness, he wants a child, but he wants her more.

Without her, nothing.

From the border gate back to the imperial capital, he always felt unrealistic as if he was in the clouds along the way, and there was always a trace of uneasiness lingering in his heart. She had nightmares and fears every night, so why wasn't he like this, why wasn't he afraid that this was a dream , One day when I woke up from my dream, she was suddenly gone! ?
And what she said just now was like confessing her last words
The two of them were in a stalemate, and the more rigid they became, the more uneasiness and unhappiness in each other's hearts grew hotter. She endured great heartache, and he endured great heartache. They slammed the bed frame and roared, and the whole ancient couch There was a violent shaking, which made her tremble all over!
Hearing the sound of his footsteps, the room was quiet. When she turned her head to look, only the oil lamp was flickering, and her own shadow was reflected on the curtain. He got angry and left just like that.

"Feng Lang, I'm sorry."

In order to let him live, she was destined to be unable to stay with him. Thinking of this, she couldn't help crying in the quilt.

For several days, he did not return to his room.

But she was in better health, so she was busy with Shangguan Hongyu's funeral. In the court hall, the succession battle was imminent, and the situation was urgent.

One day when returning from the harem to the other palace, passing by the Diaolan courtyard, he saw a blue figure standing on the carved jade arched bridge of Biliu Fusu from a distance.

Xue Yi's heart moved, and he turned his head around.

Turning around the corridor and crossing the flower garden, the snow clothes let Abi lead the maids to wait, and she walked over alone. At the beginning of April, the spring sun is as bright as gold in the daytime, and it is also warm when it shines on people. In the distance, the mist is vast, and the green willows are swaying nearby. Shangguan Fengxuan is wearing a formal attire with orange auspicious patterns on a blue background. The silver wide belt is inlaid with several crystal jade pieces. Silk sash, hanging sachets and other things.

She combed her hair meticulously and wore a black gauze crown.

Standing at the head of the bridge in a handsome and heroic manner, quietly watching the pond fish swimming in the water below.

Not seeing him for more than half a year, he seems to have lost weight a lot.

Seeing that his complexion is calm, his body should have almost recovered, but she still felt a little grateful and guilty thinking about it just to save half of Abi's wasted internal strength.

Leaning on the white jade railing, he heard footsteps and turned his eyes slightly. She was facing the sun, and he narrowed his eyes to look at the outline, and smiled: "Xiao Wu."

Because of the sound of Xiao Wu, Xue Yi was startled.

I couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking in my heart, the Mobei King and the imperial brother He Lianyu were reincarnated in the next two lives, and she met them, but why didn't they meet the reincarnation of her master Bai Shang? Could it be Shangguan Feng? Xuan is the reincarnation of the master?

If so, why is Master Dudu no longer the same as before after reincarnation?

Maybe she was thinking too much, maybe the master fell into the sea of ​​fire with her after being enchanted, and his soul was dispelled by the exorcism sword, so he really disappeared in ashes and smoke.

"Your dazed temperament still hasn't changed." It seemed that after waiting for a long time, seeing that she didn't respond, he spoke again.

Xue Yi stepped on the cool stone surface to the bridge, and the two looked at each other.

After giving birth, she became even more charming.

Shangguan Fengxuan couldn't help but lost his mind for a moment.

"I didn't expect that you were able to repel the 70 troops of the Xiyi Kingdom. It's really impressive to me, but what surprised me even more is that I didn't expect that Lao Ba would come back alive." After speaking, he laughed at himself. .He let her go to the border, he couldn't bear to see her sad Ruosi, let her go to see Lao Ba for the last time, but he didn't expect that she rescued Lao Ba and brought back a pair of daughters.

Xueyi smiled awkwardly, and said, "Xueyi will never forget Shiro's kindness back then."

He lifted his lips, "Is that so, since it is a kindness, it should be repaid?"

Xue Yi was stunned, she didn't expect him to make such a request, she was stunned for a while, then he laughed, took two steps closer to her, one more step, he pressed against her body, she unconsciously took a step back, But you might as well kick the uneven pebbles on the stone surface, and lean back with an exclamation as the slope of the arch bridge behind you slides down. "Be careful!" Shangguan Fengxuan took her back with his long arms, and pressed her against his chest with a light force.

"You are so flustered, could it be that the gratitude just now was all fake?"

"I..." Xue Yi pushed, but he didn't let go. When her eyes flickered and she was thinking about how to answer, Shangguan Fengxuan glanced over her shoulder and glanced at the person standing at the bottom of the corridor in the distance.

"My lord, my lord!"

At this moment in the corridor, Abi and a group of maids were about to greet each other. Shangguan Fenglan raised his hand to stop them from kneeling. Abi saw that Shangguan Fenglan didn't speak, but just stood there. , the prince must have seen it. Thinking of the stalemate between Xue Yi and Shangguan Fenglan these days, Abi felt a little worried.

After watching quietly for a while, Xueyi and Shangguan Fengxuan were standing on the bridge and chatting. Shangguan Fenglan turned and left silently with a calm expression, and ordered that there is no need to tell Xueyi that he was here just now.

Abi sighed as she watched Shangguan Fenglan's leaving back.

Knowing that what Shangguan Fengxuan said was not serious, Xue Yi felt relieved, and chatted with Shangguan Fengxuan for a while, inevitably talking about the establishment of a new emperor in the court.

Only then did she learn from Shangguan Fengxuan that Shangguan Fenglan intended to let Shangguan Chonglian sit on the throne.

Xue Yi understood more or less in her heart.

In Shangguan Fenglan's heart, he has always respected his elder brother, who is a mother and compatriot, and also believes that the throne should belong to his elder brother. Since the emperor's elder brother has a son, the throne should be passed on to Shangguan Chonglian.

In fact, Xue Yi hopes that Shangguan Fenglan can become the emperor, because she knows him well, he is a person who deserves the honor of ninety-five, and Dongling has him.

After all, Shangguan Chonglian was a little less calm and composed than Shangguan Fenglan in controlling the overall situation.

And according to Shangguan Zhonglian's temperament, he probably doesn't want to be bound by the throne.

-----------------------------------

It was very late at night, Xue Yi woke up from a nightmare, she habitually threw herself to the side, but it was in vain.

Every night since Shangguan Fenglan's resurrection, she would keep having nightmares about losing him. After all, the parting of life and death in those six months was too painful for her, and she couldn't forget it overnight.

Feeling the cold bed beside her, Xue Yi felt a slight sadness in her heart. Suddenly, she raised her head and found a lantern hanging above the bed, which was very different from other lanterns in the palace.

The workmanship of the lantern is not very exquisite, there are no pictures on the thin paper, and there are no poems left.

The warm light shone lightly on her face through the thin paper.

Heart moved.

Xue Yi got up and got out of bed, and immediately a little maid came in with the lamp in hand, she put on a cloak, and took another Shangguan Fenglan's cloak and walked out of the bedroom, until she arrived at the imperial study.

Xiao Xizi was dozing off outside the imperial study room, she must have been tired in the past few days, seeing Xue Yi coming here late at night, she woke up in a jerk, and was about to ask An, but Xue Yi stopped her, Xue Yi said: "Go down and have a rest." , here I am."

Xiao Xizi dared not leave.

Xue Yi said again, and Xiao Xizi led the people back quietly.

The door of the imperial study room was ajar, she gently pushed open a gap, and a strong smell of wine came to her nostrils.

When she found the inner room, she only looked at the floor under the bookshelf, among the piles of jugs, Shangguan Fenglan's eyes were cloudy from drinking, and she slouched in a corner.One leg is bent and supported, holding a flagon in his hand on his lap.

She squatted in front of him, put the cloak on him, looked at him silently, and took a sip from a jug of wine.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such angry words to anger you that day."

Seeing his sunken eyes and haggard cheeks, she lost a lot of weight in just a few days, she couldn't bear it anymore.

There was only a lamp she brought in on the desk table in the room, and he slowly raised his head in the dark corner, his eyes were cloudy and red, covered with a thick layer of alcohol smell, those thick and suffocating eyes will She stared and took a deep look, and suddenly stretched out her arms, hugging her into his arms, she fell on his lap in response, her mouth full of wine smelled domineeringly invaded her astonished mouth.

He rubbed her lips deeply, rubbed her face with his lips, and exhaled a heavy and intoxicating breath buried in her hair, the strength in holding her was even a bit arrogant.

She patted him on the back: "Feng Lang, forgive me, I'm just afraid of losing you and my child."

He buried his face in her neck, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and responded hoarsely: "I don't go back to the room these days, because I think you are angry, maybe you don't want to see me, but I am afraid that you will wake up from the nightmare Later, I was afraid, so I hung a lamp by the bedside. I was afraid that the lamp would be too bright and you would not be able to sleep well, so I pasted three layers of paper. I hope you will remember it in the future. With it in place, you will know the way back. Never Get lost knowing I've been waiting for you."

When he finished speaking, Xue Yi hugged him tightly, and wet tears rolled down his cheeks.

How to let go, how to let go!

"Feng Lang! Feng Lang!" She could only call him aloud, hugging him tightly to feel his temperature and smell.

His fingers were cold, his joints were sharp, his eyebrows slid slightly, his fingertips stretched the curve of her eyebrows little by little
It was supposed to be a moment of mutual affection, but at this moment——

"Not good! Not good!"

There was a sudden exclamation outside the imperial study room, which sounded particularly ear-piercing in the middle of the night.

Xue Yi only heard a thump in her heart, as if something was lost, and she could hear a great anxiety from the flustered exclamation of the palace maid.

Shangguan Fenglan helped her up, and a group of palace people rolled in with a clatter.

"What's the matter!?" Xue Yi rushed up first, and hurriedly asked instinctively.

Shangguan Fenglan frowned coldly, and glanced at the group of maids, Xiao Xizi and a group of guards who came in after hearing the sound. "What happened, such a hurry in the middle of the night!"

"No, no, it's not good!" I saw that group of maids knelt on the ground from the entrance, shaking like withered leaves, faltering and giggling for a long time, but no one could utter a complete sentence. When the words came, Xiao Xizi who was on the side was so anxious that he shouted: "Hey! You guys should talk! What happened, tell me!"

The group of maids stopped stuttering, but kowtowed one by one to plead guilty, "My lord, spare my life! My princess, spare my life! The servants didn't do anything! They didn't do anything!"

Xiao Xizi stomped her feet and swept away the Buddha dust in her hands: "Tell me quickly, what happened, if you don't talk about it, I will lose my head!"

Only then did someone among the palace maids tremble and say: "Qi, please tell the prince, tell the princess, no, I don't regret the little princess, she, she—"

"What's wrong with the little princess!?" Xiao Xizi raised her voice.

Xue Yi shook her hand immediately, her face suddenly turned pale, the great uneasiness in her heart was beating like a drum beating in her heart, the palace maid was startled by Xiao Xizi, and rolled out a sentence: "I don't even know about this , I just checked at night to see if the little princess wet the bed, and only after this look did I realize that the little princess—no, no, I’m out of breath!"

The lights in the room are spinning and spinning, and all the people and things are constantly flipping — flipping —

Xue Yi didn't bring it up in one breath, and fell headfirst!
—

PS: The robbery of no regrets, the robbery of the Imperial Capital, the robbery of Xueyi...here comes...
