[039]Saint Xiliang
When the first morning light fell on Chu Yuan's window lattice, she opened her eyes slightly and waited for her. She didn't sleep much all night. There was a slight noise outside the house. Chu Yuan coughed twice, and the curtain in the inner room was lifted. She raised her eyes and looked out. Liu Yun and Sheng Ge walked away with the basin and toiletries. Come in.
"The princess slept well last night. I heard that the assassin broke into the palace last night, and I don't know if it disturbed you."
Liu Yun said lightly and settled down what he had brought in. The pendant held up Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows faintly. "There is such a thing. I have nothing to do. I don't know if the assassin has been caught it?"
Liu Yun shook his head, and Sheng Ge said, "I'm afraid not. This palace is the best palace in Xiliang. Most of the things in it are extremely valuable. Previously, some flying thieves came in to steal, but they were all caught by the bodyguards here. Last night, the assassin was not caught, but he didn't lose anything. That's it."
Chu Yuan hooked the corners of her mouth, "This row of palace carvings and paintings is extremely luxurious. I think your previous second princess also likes it very much, right?"
Liu Yun nodded motionlessly, "The second princess's favorite before was the Meilin. This whole garden is Cheng'an - oh, no, it was all designed by His Royal Highness for our master."
Chu Yuan lifted the clean face of the water in the basin and frowned when she heard it. "Why haven't you heard of His Royal Highness and the Second Princess--"
There are more or less inquiries in these words. Liu Yun's eyes flashed, but he said, "I'm afraid I don't know that the princess is far away. This Marquis Cheng'an has been born and raised in the palace since he was a child, so he has a very good relationship with the eldest princess and the second princess. The second princess has been alone since she married the eldest princess to the State of Yan. Sister Nian, at that time, thanks to the Marquis Cheng'an who was with the second princess all day long, they were also brothers and sisters with good feelings.
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth are raised, brother and sister?
After cleaning her face and gargling her mouth, Chu Yuan sat in front of the dressing table and dressed up for her. Chu Yuan looked at Liu Yun and the two people standing aside and smiled gently. "Yesterday, it was said that this county was mainly going to pay a visit to His Royal Highness, but I don't know when the frame will come to pick it up?"
Liu Yun looked at Sheng Ge when he heard the words. Their faces changed slightly. For a long time, Liu Yun muttered in a low voice, "The frame should be waiting before the Feishuang Hall at this time, but I don't know why--"
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth were raised, and she looked at the hair combed for her and turned her head slightly. "Before, you said that I was very similar to your master. Now, do you think it's still similar?"
Today's Chu Yuan combed a moon-by-moon bun, and a white jade hairpin was inserted in the oblique bun. It was plain but elegant. Liu Yun and Sheng Ge looked at her, and her eyes moved a few times. Chu Yuan's smile gradually deepened. She looked in the mirror a few times and turned back to praise the pendant. "The craftsmanship of the pendant is really getting better and better. Now I'm afraid of my appearance. It's comparable to the second princess.
Xianger covered her mouth and smiled, "The master praised it."
After saying that, the frame of the Prince's East Palace had not come, and Chu Yuan's heart gradually sank. Last night's incident was over after she was left. Fallen and Ning Yuan were not punished. Everyone tacitly covered the matter. However, there must be a time to meet. If Xiao Zimo does not come to see her today, When will we meet again--
This uncertainty feeling makes Chu Yuan feel very uncomfortable, but now she is a guest and can only wait quietly.
Seeing that the frame did not come, Liu Yun had to arrange breakfast. Looking at the very rich meal, Chu Yuan did not have much appetite. However, as soon as she put down the bowls and chopsticks, a small official came to the Feishuang Hall.
Liu Yun went out to ask a few words and then took someone into the door. The man looked up at Chu Yuan, and his old face was even. "The old slave greeted Princess Yan. His Royal Highness sent the old slave to apologize to the princess. Today, he was supposed to meet with the princess and the prince, but unfortunately, Mr. Chen of Lingyan Palace and several other countries. The messengers have arrived. His Royal Highness felt that if he came to see the two in a hurry, he was afraid that it would be a little rude. Today, he went to the Lingyan Palace first and asked the princess to forgive him.
Chu Yuan's heart sank, Lingyan Palace!
"There is nothing wrong. Yuci can only wait for His Royal Highness to come from the palace. Please greet His Royal Highness on behalf of Yuci."
The little official nodded repeatedly and withdrew, but his eyes changed. "It's just to send a message. His Royal Highness actually used the Duke An."
Chu Yuan was stunned, "This is--"
Liu Yun coughed twice and seemed to be a little embarrassed. Chu Yuan smiled and said, "If Miss Liuyun doesn't say anything, she naturally doesn't know that this father-in-law's status is unusual. Now that she has said it, you might as well say it clearly. Yu Ci will certainly not blame you."
Liu Yunyi bowed and said, "Please forgive me, princess. The father-in-law who came today is not a big man, but this father-in-law has been in the palace before, watching His Royal Highness grow up. He has long received an idle job to do nothing, but I don't know why he appeared again today."
Chu Yuan frowned slightly, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the Feishuang Hall. Chu Yuan looked at Liu Yun and said, "Yu Ci has guests coming. You two should retreat first."
As soon as Nangong Li entered the door, his eyes were sinking. First, he looked at Chu Yuan's eyes up and down. He was relieved to see that everything was ordinary.
"Why do you just stand when Your Highness is here? Come here to serve tea for Your Highness."
Chu Yuan was faint, and it didn't seem that something had happened. However, it was precisely because of this that Nangong Li's heart became more and more questions. He sat next to Chu Yuan and looked around carefully, "What happened last night?"
Chu Yuan sighed, "It's nothing, just like you know, I just met Xiao Zimo."
Nangong's eyes changed slightly, "Are you meeting Xiao Zimo?"
"Yes."
Nangong Li frowned and got up, rubbed his hands constantly, and walked back and forth. Chu Yuan laughed when he saw this, but Nangong Li stared at her. "No wonder Xiao Zimo is missing us today, but why did he go to Lingyan Palace like this? As far as I know, he is the only one who can be counted as a name there. One!"
Chu Yuan's face showed a trace of strangeness. Seeing Nangong's burning eyes, he said in a low voice, "Last night, he somehow came over."
Nangong Li's face changed again!
"So he was the assassin last night?"
Chu Yuan looked up at him, "It should be--"
Nangong Li walked back and forth faster and faster. He looked at Chu Yuan, "Did he leave any traces when he left, so Xiao Zimo was the first to go to him today?"
Chu Yuan's heart tightened, "No, he is very good. If he hadn't been in a hurry to save me, he would not have been found by the bodyguards. Besides, what happened last night could not be publicized by Xiao Zimo at all. He came as a messenger of Lanling. Xiao Zimo will certainly not easily do something about him. ——”
Nangong thought about it for a while and softly called a person in, "Ning Yuan!"
Ning Yuan had been guarding outside the door. At this time, he heard Nangong Li calling her. Even when he entered the door, he listened to some of the words in the room just now. At this time, he looked at Nangong Li's eyes and knew what he should do. "Son, it's still early now. I'll go to the master later."
Nangong Li sat on the main seat and did not avoid the fall and Ning Yuan beside him. He meditated and asked Chu Yuan for a moment, "Chu Yuan, tell me, this time when you come to Xiliang, will the royal brother give you something to do?"
For so many days, Nangong Li has known in her heart that she can't go on such a trip in vain, but he has never asked, and now they have come to Xiliang as they wish. No matter what they want, she can't seem to hide it from him anymore. "Yes, the emperor wants me to find an antidote."
"The antidote?"
Chu Yuan looked around and lowered her voice a little. "Today's Emperor Xiliang is very thoughtful. At the beginning, what she married Sister Anwu was to assassinate Emperor Yan as a queen, and also gave her a kind of poison. During this period, she was always given a very light antidote, but later, Sister Anwu didn't want to Exposing the action of Emperor Yan, Emperor Xiliang completely stopped using the antidote of Sister Lazangwu. Didn't you say that you didn't know where the queen was? In fact, Sister Lami was poisoned and has been raised by Emperor Yan in a secret place. This time, what I want to get is the antidote of Sister Laanwu.
After saying so much, Nangong Li naturally understood. He looked at Chu Yuan's deep face and sighed slightly, "What if you can't get it?"
Chu Yuan's eyes suddenly came to light, "If I can't get it, then I don't have the identity of Yuci."
Nangong Che's nature doesn't know that Nangong Li knows it. He doesn't know what he thought of. He meditates for a moment and said, "Since we want to take the antidote, we have to make a good plan. The day of the prince's wedding is approaching. We have to get it before his big wedding, otherwise, we won't have entered the palace after his wedding. The reason is that it is impossible to even stay in Xiliang.
Chu Yuan nodded, and she brushed the ink hair hanging on her shoulder, "What do you think of me like this?"
Nangong Li frowned and said, "It's just a change of a bun. Is there any difference?"
Chu Yuan took a look at the pendant. "This is her favorite bun before. If I comb such a bun to visit Fengyi, the emperor of Xiliang, what do you think he will do?"
Nangong frowned and said, "No!"
"Why?"
Nangong Li sighed, "Don't you know that Fengyi is extremely ambitious. There is a queen in the front and you in the back. He can take out his two daughters to make a deal. What do you think he will do if you appear in front of him like this?"
Chu Yuan got up and walked to the window. "I don't know why a father can treat his two daughters so cruelly, but all I can do now is to approach him with this face. If I don't get close to him, how to get the antidote? Even if Yandi doesn't force me, I will come. She is always My sister."
Chu Yuan was quite touched. The poisoned person was the sister of this body, but it was not her own. But if there was no Fenglan dance, there would be no Nangong Li. Even if she had him to save her, how could she get through so many vast years safely--
"When are you going to go?"
Chu Yuan pondered slightly, "Now."
Nangong Li frowned, "What's the reason?"
Chu Yuan turned around and said, "The reason is that the Empress of Yan is eager for her father. I brought the embroidery products embroidered by the Empress of the State of Yan to see her father. How about this reason?"
Nangong Li looked at Chu Yuan's eyes and knew that she had made up her mind. She seemed to think about it, "Since you have decided, I will naturally not obstruct you, but I want to go with you."
Chu Yuan frowned, but Nan Gongli smiled, "No matter what, I'm also from Yan. Why are you the only one who goes to visit such a big man as Fengyi?"
Chu Yuan knew Nangong Li's worry and sighed deeply and no longer refused, "Okay."
When Chu Yuan told Liu Yun that he was going to visit the Emperor of Xiliang, Liu Yun's face changed greatly. However, according to Chu Yuan's identity and as the messenger of the State of Yan, it was definitely possible to visit the emperor of this country, but some procedures were needed in the middle. First of all, they had to hand over their own worship invitation.
Liuyun fast horse and whip sent the invitation to the ceremonial department. It is clearly sent by the son and princess of the State of Yan. There is a handwritten letter from the queen of the State of Yan, that is also the eldest princess of Xiliang, Fenglan Dance. The people of the ceremonial Department naturally know that there is this relationship in it. In addition, Feng also's usual eagerness of thinking about women. How dare they neglect it? Half, even if someone is sent to send the post into the palace.
The post sent to the palace soon appeared in Feng Yi's imperial study. The content of the post was the same official statement. There was no letter, but it was really the notes of Feng'an dance. At this moment, Feng Yi was naturally shocked, because according to his calculation, the Feng'an dance at this moment was mostly more and less auspicious, plus the previous When the Empress Dowager of the State of Yan was on her birthday, Feng Laiwu, as the queen of a country, did not appear at the banquet, which confirmed his idea. At this moment, such a letter sent to him naturally had deep doubts.
When the servant in the palace sent Luan to pick up Chu Yuan and the two of them into the palace at the gate of the palace. However, it was just noon, Chu Yuan looked at the corners of his mouth of the luxurious frame sent by Feng Yi. When the palace people saw such a luxurious frame and the grand event, they were afraid that they had to sigh that Feng Yi was eager for the woman, and even to Yan The princess and the prince who came from the country are all favored!
Sitting on the frame of Xiliang, he entered the palace along the most spacious imperial city official road in Xiliang. There were onlookers all the way. Chu Yuan looked at such a prosperous scene, but she was happy. So many people knew that the princess of Yan was coming, so the princess of Yan could not do anything wrong.
At this time, she wore a white veil. When she looked out of the car window, she could always meet a lot of inquiring eyes. She looked at the simple totems and some luxurious or simple figures on the street, and couldn't help sighing, "No wonder Feng is also ambitious. It's not much less than Yan and Daqin-- —”
Nangong Li sat opposite her. At this time, the corners of his mouth sank when he heard the words, "All you see is the surface. If Xiliang is really so powerful, why does Feng also use his two daughters to make those sinister means?"
Chu Yuan suddenly was about to ask Nangong Li why he knew it when there were bursts of noise from their frame. She and Nangong Li looked at each other, but their frame stopped!
"What's going on?"
With a soft shout, the driver's voice from the palace said with awe and apologies, "Your Highness, princess, I'm really sorry. The front is the frame of the Holy Lady. According to my Xiliang etiquette system, except for the emperor and the prince, any frame must be given way for the Holy Highness."
Saint?!
The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth hooked slightly, and it was also very curious to look at the latter. She immediately frowned, "Bold! You just said that this is the etiquette of your Xiliang, but Your Highness and I are from the State of Yan, so why do we need to follow your etiquette? What's more, the identity of the princess and the prince is equivalent to that of your saint, and now you are more distinguished guests of the emperor and the prince. Are you so kind of hospitality?
Her voice deliberately raised a little, and suddenly the noise around her quieted down. The driver's voice trembled outside the frame, "Lord, I forgive you. This is really my Xiliang Law. The villain, the villain dares not, dare not bump into the Holy Lady!"
How could Chu Yuan listen to the driver's words? At this time, she continued to say loudly, "You don't dare to be your business, but now it's the prince and the princess sitting in this car. Aren't you afraid that our emperor will cut off your head?"
The driver did not dare to speak in an instant. He did not dare to drive the car to the front or move the car back to the roadside. He was so deadlocked that he was covered in cold sweat.
"Is it His Royal Highness and the Princess of the State of Yan sitting in the car?"
A cold and luxurious voice came from not far away. Chu Yuan and Nangong looked at each other and only heard the coachman outside jump down from the carriage and chanted "The saint forgive me". The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and she got up and lifted the curtain first--
