Chapter 75

The smile on Shangguan Chonglian's face gradually froze, her eyes turned dark, and she looked directly at Xue Yi's bright smiling face.


Suddenly, he pulled her towards the bed, and regardless of the silver needles on his body, he leaned over and pressed her down,


"Dare to tease/play tricks on Xiao Wang, you are so bold!"


Xue Yi was not as flustered as before, but looked at him calmly, with her hand resting on his stomach, "Little Prince, I'll count to three, if you don't get up and lie down obediently, this needle doesn't have eyes."


Shangguan Chonglian was taken aback for a moment, then froze fixedly, his eyes became thicker and thicker, as if fascinated by the sight.


She is so weak and persevering, she is stubborn and stubborn, but she also has a cute and stubborn side.


Those eyes smiled, as if the stars in the sky were no match for her brilliance.


No pearl is as beautiful as her brilliance.


That ugly face, damn it, the more you look at it, the more pleasing to the eye

He thought he was really crazy.


At the same time, the sound of footsteps and the rolling of wheelchairs sounded outside the wing room.


The smile on Xue Yi's face froze immediately, she pushed Shangguan Chonglian away with her hands, and was about to pull out the needle in a panic.


But the sound was almost in front of her eyes, and her hands trembled in a panic.


Worse, listening to the voices outside, it seems that besides Mr. King Jing, there is also the old concubine?

If they saw Shangguan Chonglian in her room, alone and naked, she couldn't imagine what would happen next!

Outside the wing room, the sound of steady footsteps reached the door after a while.


'Boom! '


The door of the wing room was pushed open by Butler Feng, who turned around and helped the old concubine into the room.


Turning to the back of the bedroom screen, I saw the curtains shaking, Xueyi was sitting up on the bed, with the quilt covering his chest, facing the few people who broke into the room.


Yuchan looked slightly surprised, and quickly glanced around the empty room.


The old concubine's stern gaze also swept around the room, frowning suspiciously.


Except for Xue Yi, there is no man in sight.


just

At this moment, Xue Yi stared at them blankly, and said: "Old lady, sir, Housekeeper Feng... But something happened in the garden?"


The hand hidden under the quilt quietly pressed hard.


"Since you're asleep, why are you still lighting the lamp?"


The old concubine took a few steps forward and scanned the room again.


Xue Yi clenched and loosened her clenched hands, and replied:

"Oh, yes, I just ordered it again!"


"."


The old concubine glanced at her suspiciously, then turned her gaze, and landed in front of the dressing table, followed to the ground, and walked up a few steps, "Where did this blood come from!?"


The color of Xue Yi was slightly startled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, while putting on his outer clothes, he stepped forward and replied:

"It was just now that I found out that there was a mouse in this wing room, so I got up and lit the lamp. This blood is the blood stain that the mouse shed when I caught it!"


The old concubine frowned more and more suspiciously, staring at Xue Yi indifferently and displeased.


From the corner of the eye, Xue Yi saw Shangguan Fenglan, who was behind the old concubine just now, pushing the wheelchair into the room. Seeing his gaze falling on the curtain intentionally or unintentionally, Xue Yi felt his heart skip a beat. It's full of sweat.


"Yuchan, help the princess look around, if there are still mice in this room that scare the princess, you slaves will go to the housekeeper tomorrow to receive punishment."


Shangguan Fenglan said indifferently.


"Yes."


While Yuchan received the order, her footsteps had already turned up from behind, and she ran directly to the bed.


"and many more!"


Xueyi stopped Yuchan anxiously, "No need, the mouse has already been driven away by me. It's late at night, and I asked you to work hard for the mouse. Xueyi really can't bear it. Xueyi is going to bed. How dare you ask the old lady late at night?" Did you come to my room to order something?"


Xue Yi was in a hurry, but didn't think much about it.


Unexpectedly, the old concubine was very displeased when she heard it. Although she didn't see what Yuchan said, she already had a grudge against Xueyi in her heart. Leaning on crutches, she turned and walked towards the incense table, snorted, and said coldly :


"Why, the old man wants to see my son's spirit seat, so it's not enough to burn incense for him!"


Xue Yi shut up and didn't answer, his eyes flickered and he met Jin Mian.


I was stunned, and felt those long, narrow and dark eyes looking at her quietly, as if smiling, but also as cold as a person, the secretive expression made people's heart fluctuate suddenly, and it was difficult to settle down, and he, always Sit facing the direction of the curtain.


"Bastard—"


In the silent night, there was a sudden drink in the quiet room, and Xue Yi trembled suddenly when he was gone, and subconsciously turned to the old concubine, only to see that the old concubine was very angry, her face was so cold that she seemed to be swallowing her down.


Out of the corner of his eye, he had already glanced in front of the tablet, only to see that there were three sticks of incense missing in the small bronze cauldron.


Oops, tonight I only remember about acupuncture and moxibustion, and forgot about offering incense before the coffin!


"Don't kneel down to the old man!"


Xue Yi shook her fingers, walked to the incense table, and knelt down.


"You thought that the emperor wanted you to enter the palace to see the prince, and you treated yourself as someone, with a backer, you were so crazy that you forgot your duty. I thought you had an ugly face, and you were born as a princess. At least you should know what is etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and what is a woman's virtue! Who knows that you are so uneducated, if you don't teach you well today, you will be worse in the future!"


If you want to add guilt, there is nothing to worry about.


It's just that I forgot to stick a stick of incense, so why insult me ​​like this, the old lady didn't scold me for forgetting to burn the incense, she scolded me because she was angry in her heart.


Unexpectedly, when Shangguan Zhonglian hid, she would inevitably be beaten again.


It's just that she didn't dare to imagine that if Shangguan Chonglian was discovered by them at this time, she would be whipped or boarded.


Clenched fists.


Xue Yi's heart suddenly turned cold.


The crutch hit her head without warning, and she flinched instinctively, only feeling the unbearable pain in her shoulder.


Just now he hastily put on a thin outer garment, even if this mahogany walking stick hits his body casually, the pain is unbearable.


Unexpectedly, the whip and board could not be waited for tomorrow, but what was waiting was the tiger-headed cane in the hands of the old concubine.


The crutches fell like rain, and they beat her hard without any sense of direction, hitting her so hard that she was almost lying on the ground.


Biting her lips tightly, there was a moist luster in her eyes.


This time, tears were held back, and they were held back before they welled up.


On the shoulders, shoulders, back, and legs, it hurts from the pounding.


She said nothing.


The old concubine was already panting heavily, her body was shaking and she could hardly stand still, she snorted, and almost fell off the tiger-head crutch in her hand, but Steward Feng hurriedly stepped forward to hold it up, the old concubine stared fiercely at Xue Yi bowed his head and said nothing.


"Seeing your face gives me a headache! Butler, punish her with food for a day!—"


He snorted angrily, and with the support of Steward Feng, walked out of Dong Nuan Pavilion muttering.


Yuchan pushed the wheelchair, and Shangguan Fenglan followed the old concubine out of the wing.


"Yuchan, you send the old concubine back to the garden."


Yuchan took a quick look at the cold eyes under Jin's face, then hurriedly retracted and leaned over.


Shangguan Fenglan turned her head to look at the swaying lights in Nuan Pavilion, her hands on the wheelchair were unconsciously tightened, and her knuckles turned white.


———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————


Inside the room.


Xue Yi glanced at the hand that was stretched out, turned away, grasped the painful shoulder, and said in a low voice: "You heard me, don't do it again. Whether it is a cane whip or a cane, it hurts every time you hit it. , I can't take it anymore. So please don't break in easily, and let me live in this Xiangxue Garden every night in fear."


Looking up, a teardrop fell.


"Really, it really hurts."


The old wounds were not healed and new wounds were added. She didn't feel pain, but it hurt in her heart.

Her eyes were imprinted with her delicate but pretending to be strong.


Shangguan Chonglian's eyes gradually dimmed, and a touch of distress flashed across her, and she slowly withdrew her hand.


turn around.


".thanks."


Xue Yi said in a low voice.


His footsteps froze slightly, and he walked out of Dongnuan Pavilion again.


Xueyi supported his painful body and got up, closing the door.


Fortunately, Abi's servant room is some distance away from her main house, and even larger movements cannot be transmitted there.


-----------------———————————————————————————————— —————————————


The next day, the clear sun shone warmly on the majestic Imperial City of the Imperial Capital.


The blue glazed tiles are golden.


Inside the palace carriage, Xue Yi felt a little uneasy.


Unexpectedly, Abi discovered the injury on her body early this morning, and Abi saw through the fact that she gave herself a needle.


What she didn't expect was that Abi was angry. She knew what Abi was angry about. She was angry with herself for not being able to protect her, and she was angry with her for concealing the incident afterwards. But Abi had never left the house in a fit of anger like this time.


Now, I don't know in which quiet and deserted place I secretly wiped my tears and was sad, angry at her, but worried about her at the same time.


Abi is an upright person, in this complicated imperial capital, she cannot help worrying.


The palace carriage was driving all the way, and Liuying's voice sounded next to my ears: "Wangfei seems to be worried all the way?"


Xue Yi raised her head and shook slightly: "Probably because I didn't sleep well last night."


Liuying said: "Is it because of the prince, because of the three-day deadline?"


Xue Yi hesitated, then nodded.


Liu Ying lifted the cloth curtain at this time, "Wangfei, look quickly, ahead is the tallest building in the Imperial Capital, Tianyue Tower."


"I heard that if you put up a sky lantern in Tianyue Tower to make a wish, if you can float to the place where there is a Bodhisattva, the wish will be fulfilled. How about after leaving the palace today, the slaves will bring the princess here to release the sky lantern, and hope that the Bodhisattva will bless you. After three days, the princess will give you blessings." If the needle goes well, the prince's illness can be cured!"


Xue Yi also stretched out her neck to look out, and saw a tower gradually emerging in front of her standing there, looking majestic and majestic.


Putting up sky lanterns?

Make a wish

"What is a sky lantern?"


Xue Yi looked at Liu Ying in confusion.


Liuying smiled and said: "My maidservant forgot, there is no such thing in Beicang Kingdom. Sky lanterns are used by the common people to make wishes. Why don't you let the princess come to set it off once tonight, and then you will know what the sky lantern looks like. It is for the sake of the prince to pray to the Bodhisattva, to pray for the protection of the Bodhisattva."


Xue Yi looked at Tianyue Tower again, thought for a while, and nodded: "Well, I heard from you, I also really want to see and see."


Will making a wish really work?
