Chapter 65 Breaking into the House
The wait is always long, but finally it has a result. After several days of careful care, the residual poison in Mrs. Liu's body has finally been cleared, and there are signs of awakening.
"Miss! Miss!" A sharp Hedong lion roar spread all the way from Anranju to the Sunset Garden where Xi Xinmiao is located. The twins shouted all the way, their faces were full of joy, and their legs ran fast and went straight to the room.
"What's so noisy early in the morning?"
"Little--Miss, mother-in-law--she--" Ding Ding was out of breath and covered his stomach.
"What's wrong with my mother-in-law?"
"My mother-in-law woke up!"
He stamped his foot anxiously and finally picked up the jingling words. When the twins are still and look carefully, there is no sign of Xi Xinmiao, and you don't have to guess where she is going.
Anranju
Because of Xi Xinmiao's special instructions, this courtyard has always existed quietly in the corner of Xifu. Today, the old man who finally woke up from his sleep, because she escaped from death, the courtyard once again has a little restless and lively.
Grandma Liu woke up in good spirits and her face was ruddy. I think it was because of the magical effect of the blood lucidum she had taken in the past few days. Although she was saved by Xi Xinmiao, after all, she was poisoned, her body was still a little weak, and the medicine soup three times a day was indispensable. The girls served her to drink medicine again.
Grandma Liu was sitting on the bed and drinking the soup handed over by the girl. When she looked down, she saw a figure coming in from the door: although her face was still cold, it was obviously loose. Isn't it the young lady she brought up since she was a child?
"Miss!" Grandma Liu opened her mouth excitedly and struggled to get up and get out of bed. Unexpectedly, she was held down by Xi Xinmiao first.
"Mother-in-law, just rest at ease. Everything is with me."
Looking at Xi Xinmiao, who had grown up, she didn't need much words. Her natural momentum could always make people feel at ease. There seemed to be tears surging in Grandma Liu's eyes. "Oh--" She nodded and leaned back on the bed again.
"Give it to me." Take the medicine bowl in the girl's hand and sit on the edge of the bed.
The girl will retreat silently, and there are only two of them left in the whole room.
Seeing that Xi Xinmiao sent the spoon with medicinal juice to her mouth, Grandma Liu hurriedly said, "Miss, how can this make it! Let the old lady do it by herself." With that, he was about to reach out to take Xi Xinmiao's bowl and let a master serve himself as an old slave. How can this be said?!
Knowing the old man's intention, Xi Xinmiao stopped with a faint look. Looking at the uncomfortable old man, he scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup again and slowed down his tone and said, "My mother-in-law treats me as kind as a mountain. I dare not forget this kindness. Now my mother-in-law wakes up and serves her.
Drink all the medicine handed to her lips. Grandma Liu trembled her lips and stared at Xi Xinmiao, with relief in her eyes, "There is a young lady who takes care of the old slave like this..."
"My mother-in-law is not a slave." Xi Xinmiao stopped the action in her hand and looked at it. Although the words were plain, the slight displeasure in her eyes couldn't help trembling, "My mother-in-law is my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, a relative. Without my mother-in-law, I have no heart. Don't call yourself an 'old slave' in the future. Do you remember it?
"Remember, mother-in-law, remember the careful words!" A smile appeared on Grandma Liu's face. Her withered hands stroked Xi Xinmiao's thighs and nodded repeatedly. The wrinkled face was still so kind and kind. Her mother-in-law!
While the two were talking, a sudden sound interrupted the tranquility at this moment. Bing Ning walked into the room with a solemn face and whispered a few words to Xi Xinmiao.
After saying that, Xi Xinmiao just frowned, so that there was nothing unusual.
"Miss, is there something wrong?" Grandma Liu also seemed to feel something wrong and asked a little uneasily.
"It's okay. It's just some trivial things. Mother-in-law, you can take care of yourself and have a good sleep. I'll come as soon as I go."
Looking at Xi Xinyao's calm expression, her words seemed to have a calming effect. Mrs. Liu had no doubt about him. The effect of the medicine hit her sleepiness, and her eyelids couldn't support it.
After serving her mother-in-law and falling asleep, Xi Xinmiao and Bing Ning quietly exited the door, and the moment she closed the door, Xi Xinmiao's expression had changed to a little seriousness.
"Bingning, you said that the people in the palace asked me to come forward with a large gang of praetorian guards, right?" Xi Xinmiao looked in the direction of the lobby, and his eyes were empty and quiet.
"Yes, miss, and it seems that each of them is not good. Originally, they wanted to break in with people and horses, but they were intercepted in the front hall by the shadow uniform. The general had been sent to the border a month ago and would not be able to come back for a while. Do you want to inform..."
"No," Xi Xinmiao waved her hand. "It seems that they are coming towards me. Don't disturb my father. Let me go and have a look. You stay here and remember that no one is allowed to approach Anranju!"
"Yes!"
Xifu Front Hall
A group of armored praetorian guards twisted "Ouch" on the ground, and their look was extremely painful. What's more, there was a trace of blood hanging on the corners of their mouths, which seemed to be a real injury.
And in front of them stood a man in black, with a meticulous smile and a cold face. Although he stood there calmly, he faintly exuded a cold evil spirit. With his hands around his chest and a famous sword in his arms, he was staring at them coldly at this moment. I'm afraid that a little offensive behavior would be the end of a three-foot blood splash.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, angry and afraid. Just now, they wanted to break into the inner courtyard to detain the second lady of the mansion. How could they expect such a master to appear in the sky, blinking in front of them like a ghost, and then they taught them a hard lesson. No one could stop the imperial army?! They didn't even see how he took action! The strangeness of kung fu makes people afraid. It seems that this mansion is really crouching tigers and hidden dragons!
"I am Ling Su, the chief bodyguard with a knife given by the emperor. The special oracle takes Xi Xinmiao to ask questions. Do you still want to resist the decree!" Seeing that he could not break in, Ling Su explained to the demonstration to the shadow. In his eyes, no matter how great a general's daughter is, can she go against heaven?
Although he has never seen this amazing Miss Xi, there are still a few rumors about her. She is bold, erudite and versatile, and her means are known for her ruthlessness and decisiveness. On that day, Emperor Qi's birthday banquet heard that she danced and the emperor was very impressed. He was lucky to see her face. Unfortunately, on that day, he was caught in the wind and cold and changed classes with others, so he naturally missed such an opportunity.
It's just that he still doesn't understand that since ancient times, where did she get such arrogant capital? He just roared, hoping that the emperor's majesty could deter this cold and cautious guy.
It's a pity that his abacus is wrong, and the shadow will not pay attention to him! It would be good not to give him a knife. If it hadn't been for Xi Xinmiao's order, how could they still be rampant here?
Seeing the shadow is simply ignoring himself. Ling Su couldn't hold a fire, so he had to stare at the tiger's eyes big and round, and he exhaled and inhaled. He was really angry.
"Who is presumptuous? Doesn't everyone think that the general's mansion is dead?" A beautiful female voice sounded, and anyone could hear the displeasure in a light sentence, and the temperature of the whole audience suddenly dropped a little.
For the belated Xi Xinmiao, he did not pay attention to the group of so-called "Pestrian Guards". He raised his hand and turned to sit on the head seat. For a moment, the momentum of staring at the world spread in an instant. The shadow had already bowed to her side, with an indescribable respect.
Ling Su went from his initial surprise to his later calmness, but he couldn't help but be shocked: Is this ghostly master actually a subordinate of the unparalleled woman? Is this mysterious daughter of Xifu really as unfathomable as the legend? Thinking of this, I can't help but pay 120,000 points of attention and caution.
"I didn't mean to offend Miss Xi. I hope you can forgive me!" With his hands arched, Ling Su knew that he could not act rashly now, let alone offended her.
"Are you the one who just said you wanted to take me down?" When she said this, Xi Xinmiao said it in a positive tone. She wanted to see what he did to herself!
"I--I---" Ling Su sob, and there was an embarrassment that he couldn't advance or retreat. Now he remembered that the emperor's instructions, although he looked solemn, he also really told him not to be disrespectful to Miss Xi, just summon him. Unexpectedly, he couldn't help losing his temper for a while, and he was so he couldn't do it now. Come to Taiwan, what should I do?
"What, don't you have the courage to admit it?" With his hands on his forehead and shallow eyebrows, he looked at the people and saw the hesitant tone of the people on the court suddenly changed, "Or do you think the people in the general's mansion are easy to bully, Ren Er fish meat? Where do you think my house is!" The cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and there was a group of uninvited guests!
The whole audience is silent! What horrible eyes make people scared. The two battles are about to go first!
"Bang!" The silence under the court was only particularly loud. The guards were dumbfounded and seemed to be unable to believe their eyes, but that's how it happened!
Ling Su knelt on the ground and knelt in front of the woman. Obviously shocked, but no one felt inappropriate. She was as noble as a queen and calmly accepted the worship of others. Her invincible temperament vaguely overlapped with the emperors of her country...
"Miss Xi doesn't care about the villain, Ling Su is reckless, and I hope you will forgive me!" A man can bend and stretch. Compared with the emperor's life, bending his knees is nothing!
"Huh, what are you doing? I can't stand such a big gift. Let's talk about the business you came from, so as not to treat me for the crime of disobeying.
It doesn't seem to appreciate the cuffs, but the tone has returned to indifference.
Ling Su just got up and said cautiously, "The emperor has an order to send Miss Xi to the palace for a secret talk."
"Is that what you have to do? What if I don't?"
It seemed that Xi Xinmiao had this answer, and Ling Su was not in a hurry. He took out a thing from his arms, which was Xi Xinmiao's blue jade!
He took Xi Xinmiao's surprise in his eyes, "Miss Xi, please."
The bottom of his eyes was deep. He looked at it, looked at the shadow, infinitely deep, and followed Ling Su away.
The lobby is quiet again, but the dark surge has just rolled up...
