Yao Xihu's voice was not concealed, and everyone in the palace heard her name.
Except for the ministers who had never heard of Mu Xiaoxi, the rest of them glanced in Aibei's direction. Zhao Yuanya paused in his heart and focused more on the matter of "seizing the throne". On the contrary, Zhao Yuanlang and Zhao Yuanying were distracted.
"Mu Xiaoxi?"
Zhao Yuanying looked stunned, wondering why this name could be put on Ai Bei.
Abe just waved to them, "The person has been delivered safely, I don't care about the rest." Having said that, she had no intention of leaving immediately, she just sat back in the car and took a A bottle of iced drink, ready to drink while watching the unfolding situation.
It's like sitting in a drive-in movie theater watching a movie.
No one in the palace dared to approach her car, but she actually let her sit back leisurely.
Yao Xihu stood there with an unreadable expression. He wanted to get closer to the sports car, but when he took a step forward, he glanced at Zhao Yuanlang who was blocked in front of the car. She didn't dare to make any more moves.
Zhao Yuanlang withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man on the hospital bed, "Father."
The emperor propped himself up on the bed and panted, looking at his eldest son with a somewhat complicated look. He finally sighed, "I'm getting old..."
From the moment the prince entered the palace, it was only now that he really saw his father. If it were before, he would have been furious. However, the matter has come to this, and he can only live for a day or two. The anger of the emperor at this moment is far less than the will of the new emperor in the future. He vaguely remembered what his second son said, that there was no family affection in the Tian family, and this was his retribution.
He certainly noticed that his son treated the girl in weird clothes differently, but he closed his eyes calmly. When he sat in that position, someone would tell him that there were some things that even the emperor could not get.
Over there, Zhao Yuanya sneered: "I am just a filial brother. I rushed back from the battlefield to see my father for the last time. Unexpectedly, I was only prepared to watch him die. The same goes for the third child. My father usually loves you the most. The imperial doctor is not even prepared to scream, is it too troublesome to do superficial things?"
"Second brother, there is no need to provoke us or delay time." Zhao Yuanying stood beside the car, leaning against the car and smiling, "Second brother, do you think that things will go as you wish if we didn't arrive?"
The smile on Zhao Yuanya's lips disappeared, and when he saw the anxious expression on his hands, he completely lost his good looks.
Zhao Yuanlang went out to fight, so how could he not leave behind a backup plan? It was just that if he couldn't arrive in time, the chess would be without a coach, and the forces supporting him would not be able to gather together. From the moment he entered the imperial city, Zhao Yuanya had already lost.
After that, things were surprisingly easy and smooth.
The news that the prince could control the mythical beast spread like wildfire, convincing the generals who originally thought it was a "ferocious beast" breaking into the palace.
When the situation was over, the ancients' superstitious belief in miracles reached its highest point, and the army under the control of the second prince surrendered without much resistance.
On the contrary, Abe, who wanted to watch a "little movie", was not satisfied. She had just opened a bag of potato chips to eat, "Is this the end?"
Compared with her, the audience watching the live broadcast can also watch the palace change from her shots that cut to other corners of the palace. Whether it is the sword fight between the armies or the undercurrent among the courtiers, it is worth watching for future generations. look. After Zhao Yuanlang got the situation under control, he issued multiple urgent orders to clean up the court that had been infiltrated by Zhao Yuanya, and the entire imperial city was in turmoil.
The audience laughed at the fact that Abe was on the main battlefield and what they saw was not as interesting as what they saw.
"What else do you want to see?" Zhao Yuanying got into the car and skillfully snatched a potato chip from her bag. "You are eating here in the breeze, are you still not satisfied?"
If it weren't for the prince's order, how could she stay here in peace and contentment. In any case, the so-called "divine beast" is of great significance. Now that the palace is in chaos, there are probably many people who want to "visit", and there are also some people from the second prince's faction who have evil intentions.
He was also stained with blood, and the fishy smell filled the air of the car.
Abe wrinkled his nose and said nothing.
Zhao Yuanying paused, then asked very deliberately as if by accident: "Who said you were Mu Xiaoxi just now?"
The third prince originally had a good time with Princess Yongkang, the character played by Yao Xihu, but after it was revealed that Yao Xihu had planned to seduce the three brothers, he became particularly embarrassed towards her and his address became vague.
"Well… "
"Are you really Mu Xiaoxi?" Seeing that she didn't deny it, Zhao Yuanying's tone was incredible, "But she's not... How could you..."
Abe couldn't be bothered by him, so he said casually, "It's one of the identities that fairies can find at will when they come down to the mortal world."
This answer was in line with Zhao Yuanying's suspicion, but thinking about Mu Xiaoxi's character and behavior, and looking at Ai Bei now, she felt that it was impossible to put the two together.
Abe: "By the way, who is that?"
"He was sent to the second prince's residence, together with his second brother."
Ai Bei didn't care why Zhao Yuanlang didn't take the opportunity to arrest him and put him in prison. He just sent him back to the mansion to deal with the problem. Hearing this, he said: "Just in time, I also want to go to the second prince's mansion."
"No!" Zhao Yuanying's reaction was loud, "Brother said, I can't let you go."
"I don't care about you." Abe pushed him out of the car, "I told you early in the morning that I would just drop you off by the way. I came here for other things."
Only then did Zhao Yuanying remember what she had said. She said she was going to see someone... As soon as he was distracted, Abe took him out of the car. He didn't react until the car door was locked. It was too late to get in the car.
"You are just going to the Second Prince's Mansion, not leaving, right? Hey!"
Abe stretched his hand out the window and made a "goodbye" gesture, leaving the third prince behind the speeding sports car to eat the exhaust fumes.
In the second prince's residence, two maids stood in front of the dining room and had an argument. This was not the first time they had seen this. Others were not surprised and continued to do their work, occasionally glancing at them.
The two of them were arguing about the order of taking the meals. Among them, the more powerful maid raised her chin and said: "Concubine Su has such a big air. We, the concubine, dare to fight for the meals."
"But, you had already asked someone else to send back the concubine's share." The little maid retorted bitterly, "This belongs to the side concubine."
"You said yes?"
The eldest maid was bitten to death and refused to let anyone go. The little maid was so anxious that she stamped her feet. She held back a sentence for a long time, "Sister, please do well. Our concubine is pregnant. This meal cannot be used after it is cooled."
This was what the eldest maid was waiting for, and she said coolly: "Just because she has a belly, she dares to act arrogantly, and even the concubine doesn't notice her?"
If these words were taken into consideration, people would only say that Concubine Su was acting arrogantly. The little maid was sent to serve Su Anran not long ago. She was inexperienced and choked to tears, but she didn't know how to dismiss her.
"Xiaoxi, forget it."
Su Anran's figure appeared next to the outer door, her belly made a slight arc, and she shook her head at her maid. The maid called Xiaoxi wiped away her tears and ran over, "Concubine, why are you out here?"
"When you're tired of staying in the room, come out for a walk. You can accompany me to the garden."
She knew that if she came here in person, there would be a hot meal on the table when she returned. The princess did not want to live up to her words and have a reputation for treating her harshly. Unknowingly, she has learned the survival rules of the back house. Those things that she had not learned in the past ten years were born in her in just a few months.
No matter in the palace or in the back house, it is always the same, having favor is everything. If Su Anran didn't have a concubine and a baby in her belly, the other party would probably be even more unscrupulous than now. Having "fallen out of favor", her situation is no better than that of the newcomers who have entered the house. At least they still have a future, unlike her whose fate has been decided.
To the people in the mansion, unless she really gave birth to a son safely and raised him to an age where he would not die easily, she would be nothing.
The royal concubine can live without pampering, because she holds the power in her hands, and she has always relied on "pampering" to establish herself, even if she doesn't admit it. She arbitrarily defined the relationship between her and Zhao Yuanya as "love", but even the servants in the mansion could see clearly that she was Zhao Yuanya's pet that came and went when he called her. In the past, he liked her and held her in his arms. , once he no longer finds her interesting, she is nothing.
Her self-esteem as an independent individual is just duckweed, based on modern education. If she were still in modern times, she might be able to find a satisfactory job after graduation and survive in society on her own ability.
But to the people here, she has no roots, and what she did in the past was nothing more than pampering. When she falls down after being rejected, any woman in the back house can teach her how to be a new person.
Su Anran is almost used to it.
I am used to accepting all this, and I am also used to myself who is used to the ancient environment. She fell into this deep trap, and maybe she was about to drown at the bottom of it. No one could save her here.
While walking in the garden she bumped into some newcomers to the house.
The second prince was at the height of his power in the court, and the people below him kept sending beauties to him. These people had never seen Concubine Su when she was favored. They had only seen her look like a bereaved dog now, so they were not afraid of her reputation. Instead, they rushed out to be the sword in the hands of the principal concubine.
They looked at each other when they saw Su Anran. One of them pulled off the pearl string on his hand and pretended to let others appreciate it, but when Su Anran passed by, he broke the string.
The pearl broke and fell to Su Anran's feet.
"Oh, why don't you be careful?"
"That's right, our concubine is pregnant. What if this one accidentally slips his foot?"
"I didn't mean it." The woman smiled coquettishly and threw the remaining pearls toward Su Anran one by one provocatively. "The concubine is kind, and I don't think she will argue with sisters like us who don't understand anything. ?”
Their maid knelt down to greet Su Anran.
"These people!" The little maid next to Su Anran was angry and anxious.
Su Anran could still laugh. She stepped forward with her toes, stepped on a pearl, and looked at them deeply.
The woman's heart tightened and she swallowed. If she really got rid of the emperor's heir, it would be no joke. But for the woman in the back house, a child is what she needs to live and settle down. She doesn't believe that Su Anran would give up her only bargaining chip so quickly.
So she said harshly: "... If the concubine is not happy, just go and talk to His Highness." She couldn't see her anyway.
Su Anran on the opposite side said nothing, her expression changed, and no one knew what she was thinking.
She actually doesn't want this child. She doesn't want the child to grow up without the love of his father, and she doesn't want it to be born to suffer.
But she couldn't let it go.
This child is not hers, it is Zhao Yuanya's, it belongs to the royal family, but it is not hers. Its status is more noble than hers, and she, a little concubine, can't help but say that she doesn't want it.
Su Anran hugged her arms. For a moment, the meaning of this child made her hair stand on end.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise in the mansion, and the servants in the mansion gradually began to rush around for some unknown reason.
The concubines were uneasy: "What's wrong?"
I only heard someone say: "Your Highness, His Highness is back."
"His Royal Highness was escorted back by the imperial army."
"His Highness was escorted back? Impossible!"
The concubines screamed back.
They instinctively did not believe that His Highness, the now powerful Second Prince, would have such an accident, but Su Anran felt something was wrong. She vaguely knew what Zhao Yuanya was doing. Since ancient times, such things have either resulted in a complete victory or a disastrous defeat.
In front of the main hall, Zhao Yuanya was standing there.
Perhaps out of concern for his status as a prince, he was not put in chains.
The princess was crying in front of him, and the madness in Zhao Yuanya's eyes had disappeared, and instead looked calm. He was a winner and a loser, and he was just like what he said - he could afford to lose.
When Su Anran arrived, he saw that there was a concubine beside him to inquire about the details, a concubine asking for help, and a Princess Yongkang who was escorted out of the palace with him. She knew that Yongkang had been helping him, so she had enough confidence. Confront her former self.
This scene is so ironic and funny.
She used to be the treasure in his hand, but now she no longer has a place beside him, and he doesn't even remember to look at her.
"Concubine." The little maid carefully handed her a handkerchief, and Su Anran realized that she had shed tears without knowing it.
What's the difference between her now and those women in the back house who doted on things? She mocked herself and took the handkerchief, trying to wipe away the useless tears.
During the process, Yao Xihu noticed her and motioned to Zhao Yuanya next to her to look at her. Zhao Yuanya's eyes were dark and he glanced faintly in her direction, wondering if he saw her.
Yao Xihu smiled and prepared to walk in her direction. Many people in her live broadcast room have expressed their disappointment with her and are ready to watch her opponent's live broadcast. She always has to do something to save the defeat.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar outside, and the ground shook slightly, as if something huge was moving.
"Ah, it's the mythical beast!"
The general responsible for escorting the second prince looked surprised, "This movement must be the divine beast that the prince has subdued!"
The movement of that thing seemed to shock people's hearts and make their hearts tremble. The servants of the Second Prince's Mansion shivered with fear and awe. Before the "divine beast" arrived, they were already kneeling on the ground.
By the time Abe drove the car into the courtyard, the people who greeted him were already kneeling in the corridor and front hall.
Seeing her appear, they only dared to whisper, "Is this the immortal who controls the divine beast?" They quietly looked at her with expressions of admiration and admiration.
Even if she was dressed strangely, no one dared to question her.
Only Su Anran stood there, her eyes full of disbelief, but also bursting with a strange look.
impossible-
Is this a sports car
How could there be sports cars in ancient times? !
Her vision seemed a little blurry, and she blinked hard, but the car did not disappear.
Most people were kneeling, so standing she stood out. The little maid pulled Su Anran and urged her urgently: "Concubine, please kneel down quickly, be careful of the immortal being angry."
Abe's eyes were fixed on her, and she smiled brightly at her, "Sister, I'll take you home."
At first, no one knew who she was calling "sister". It was not until they followed the immortal's line of sight that they realized it was Su Anran standing there upright. The concubines who were provoking her in the garden gasped.
"You, you are..." Su Anran's voice trembled slightly.
Abe: "I am Xiaoxi."
creek.
Wood Creek.
Su Anran paused. She would always remember that day when a girl named Mu Xiaoxi died in her arms. She almost used her fresh and youthful life to warn herself not to be addicted to this world and not to step into the world. into this trap. She once asked her if she wanted to leave and said to her, "The day my sister wants to leave, I will pick you up."
The day you want to leave, I will pick you up...
I'll pick you up…
It was as if something exploded in her mind. She couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, and her whole body was trembling slightly. "You-are you..."
"Sister and I come from the same place." Abe winked at her, and then asked, "Sister, do you want to leave now?"
She thought she was going to drown in the deep story, but now there was a bright light that tore open the deep story. The light was so white that it made people want to cry.
think!
Of course she does!
She named the new maid Xiaoxi because she could not ignore the deepest desire buried in her heart. Even if there is only one car in front of her, even if it cannot take her to the place she wants to go, this is her salvation and the only opportunity she can hold.
Su Anran ran out of the crowd and kicked a kneeling person. She subconsciously said sorry, only to find out that the person was the second prince's concubine.
The second princess looked at her with a particularly strange look.
She had no time to care, so she quickly came to Abe's side.
Just as she was about to speak, soldiers wearing silver armor suddenly filed in and surrounded the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, the prince and the third prince strode in. When he saw Ai Bei still there, Zhao Yuanlang's eyes relaxed.
Zhao Yuanying's eyes turned around her and Su Anran, and she suddenly realized, "It turns out that the person you are looking for is her." After contacting what Ai Bei said before, and then thinking about the way Mu Xiaoxi protected Su Anran, at this time, she It seems natural to connect the two together.
Zhao Yuanlang asked in a calm voice: "Where do you want to go?"
Abe: "Of course we go where we should go."
"You can't leave." Zhao Yuanlang approached her, "You can't leave without my permission."
Abe tilted her head to look at him, feeling as if she had overlooked something. It wasn't until the sun pierced her eyes that her eyes were dizzy, and the strength in her body slowly drained away. Only when Su Anran screamed in shock did she understand the reason.
This person drugged her.
Before she was about to fall, Zhao Yuanlang caught her and held her in his arms.
"It turns out that gods can also be poisoned." There was a strange feeling in Zhao Yuanying's words.
"...Where did you give me the medicine?"
She knew that the ancients respected the gods, so she never thought that they would do such a "blasphemous" thing and lost her guard.
"The drink you drank was put in with your thing called a syringe. This thing is quite interesting." Zhao Yuanying told the whole story, with a mischievous smile on his young and heroic face. He winked and said, "The little fairy is just Stay, you haven’t seen the Imperial City yet, I’ll show you around.”
Even the most innocent Zhao Yuanying is far from as harmless as he seems on the surface.
Su Anran looked at the third prince angrily, "Zhao Yuanying, don't go too far!"
"It's all my fault, it was obviously my brother's instigation!"
"Sister, help me."
Ai Bei took two steps back, letting Su Anran support her, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped the prince hard. When a crisp slap sounded over the courtyard, the soldier raised his weapon with a swish. Zhao Yuanlang was stunned for a moment and waved to them.
She licked her lips and said, "This is the meeting gift you gave me back then."
Zhao Yuanlang seemed to understand what she wanted to say in an instant. In fact, the blow was not severe. After all, she had no strength. The blow only affected his majesty as the prince and his self-esteem.
But all the embarrassing emotions disappeared in an instant. Because of the wooden creek. When the two people overlapped, he knew that he could not keep her no matter what.
He chuckled softly: "I really hold a grudge." There was a sad color in his laughter.
"Just think of it as your fare."
"Where's mine?" Zhao Yuanying took the initiative to lean forward and give her face to everyone who was looking at her in disbelief. But Abe didn't even look at him. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, "Can't you really stay?" Even though they never thought they would succeed in the first place.
Ai Bei ignored her, but singled out Yao Xihu from the crowd and asked her, "Want to take a ride?"
Yao Xihu laughed angrily and rolled his eyes, "Get out of here."
Even if she is about to lose this game, there is absolutely no way she can add luster to her opponent's script.
"Then let's go, sister."
Su Anran was a little worried, "Your body..."
"The car will be driven for you."
Su Anran took the car key and was confused for a moment because of the strangeness, but naturally unlocked the sports car the next moment. Even if her body has changed, her soul still remembers everything she once was.
Zhao Yuanya had been watching from the side. From Ai Bei's arrival, to Su Anran's conversation with her, to the arrival of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, he was like a bystander, watching them coldly. Until the moment Su Anran pressed the car key, his pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could figure it out, he had passed through the crowd and came behind her.
"safely."
Su Anran turned around and suddenly smiled, "Your Highness is finally willing to look at me."
"You stay." He said, his voice dry and hoarse.
"I'm leaving." She paused, "I'm not from here in the first place, and now I'm just going back to where I belong."
"You stay. You are different from her. You are still carrying my child in your belly."
Su Anran looked at him quietly, "Zhao Yuanya, you still don't understand." She no longer lingered, turned around and sat in the car. When she was about to close the door, Zhao Yuanya held the door, "Su Anran, what do you want?" Are you going to let it be born without a father?!"
"Fuck you!" Su Anran burst out suddenly, "Now you know, now you know that the child should have a father, what did you do before?!" Caught off guard, she pushed the door and hit him hard, and then Slam the car door hard!
Zhao Yuanya didn't let go yet. The door pinched his finger bones and sent a sharp sting, but he refused to let go.
Su Anran was cruel and still wanted to close the door.
He just held on to the car door and stared at her, "Are you heartless? I just haven't been with you in the past few months. Have you forgotten how I treated you in the past?"
He once doted on her to the heavens. Even if she had an affair with the prince and had no qualms about getting along with the third prince, he tolerated it one by one.
This brief period of forgetfulness was an unforgivable crime in her eyes.
"I haven't forgotten. I will remember your kindness to me for the rest of my life." She suppressed her choked voice, "But I don't want to be around you for a second anymore."
"Zhao Yuanya, I don't want to become hateful because of you."
The moment Zhao Yuanya lost consciousness after hearing this, she closed the car door.
In the car, Abe on the other side suddenly said: "When we go back, we will become a painless person."
Su Anran was stunned and suddenly laughed loudly. She hugged her belly and beat the steering wheel, laughing until tears came out.
"Yes, I'll have a painless abortion when I get back!"
Zhao Yuanya had been pulled away by Zhao Yuanlang's order. The calmness on his face was no longer there, and all the madness was lost in his eyes. He tried his best to break free. His eyes turned red because of this, and he screamed to let Su Anran stay.
Su Anran looked at it with tears in her eyes and murmured: "This is so ridiculous."
This is ridiculous.
Should she say that he doesn't love her? Maybe it's love. But what he is doing now is nothing more than the madness of a gambler who has lost all his chips. Once he had too much, so her existence was just another rare treasure in the mountain of treasures. Now that he has nothing, this rare treasure becomes even more important.
But she no longer wants to be a piece of jewelry that is held in the palm of someone's hand.
She stepped on the accelerator, not paying attention to the wrong direction of the vehicle, and swerved back, almost hitting the princess.
Abe was confused: "You've never driven a car, have you?"
"I only got my driver's license in my sophomore year, and I have only driven a few times." There were still tears in her eyes, but she could already talk to Abe in a relaxed tone.
She made a face at the concubine and the concubines in the rearview mirror.
She saw the wonder and envy in their eyes, as if they were wondering why she could "control" the mythical beast, and why this defeated general who failed to win their favor suddenly became different.
She had always hated their existence and hated their actions. She knew that these people had grown up with ancient education. They were naturally accustomed to fighting over the back and house. Those methods were as natural to them as drinking boiled water. They were just means of survival. She shouldn't hate them.
But,
Fuck—
There was familiar and fast-paced music in the car, and the sounds were like exciting drum beats hitting her heart, making her want to cry and scream with excitement!
Her blood surged as she held the steering wheel in her hand, because she could control the direction of the future by herself, and for the freedom she was about to usher in.
- She is not this kind of person, and she never wants to be this kind of person.
The people behind him fade away.
They watched the flame-like light leave, feeling either sad or crazy.
Abe was lying beside the car window without any strength, biting a lollipop and waving at them happily. Something light and paper-like suddenly flew out of the car, rolled up in the wind, and was blown in front of everyone.
Zhao Yuanying stretched out her hand and held it in her palm.
It shows colorful colors, has English fonts written on it, and still has a sweet smell. Everything comes from another time and space.
The author has something to say: At the end of writing, the Digimon song sounded in my mind, and I instantly burst into emotions and wanted to relive Digimon.
This story is really a pity. The ending is the part I want to write the most. If the previous part was not so messy and was more concise and the plot was more directional, it would be much better. I'll have to rewrite it if I get the chance.
This story is an idea I had after reading a time travel novel.
I am unwilling to accept that modern heroines lived in such misery in ancient times, trapped in the back house and dealing with men. Obviously they are all independent individuals and free souls in modern times!
Originally, I wanted Beibei to play this role, but I also felt that Beibei lacked the process of being suppressed in ancient times, and her emotions were wrong, so I added a heroine. However, when writing, I had to write this heroine without including Beibei. I ran out of writing. The "double heroine" scene was not handled well, and the choice of background was also vacillating. Sometimes it was a silly and sweet Mary Sue in the early days, and sometimes I felt like I wanted to write about a depressive back home. The writing style was a bit... Quirky. There are too many characters, the characters are not well written, and the battle line is too long. The ending is actually a bit regretful, because Beibei's emotional line is not deep enough and the emotions are a bit light, and the prince and the third prince cannot do much.
Stop your thoughts.
This story is over. I want to save the next one and release it to you every day. It shouldn’t take long because it’s relatively short, probably about the same length as “Story Solitaire” (a flag suddenly went up). It is also possible to write a transitional mini story (?) first, the kind that ends a chapter. Once the transitional chapter is written, it will be put up first.
If the manuscript preparation period exceeds a week, I will report the progress to everyone in the copywriting, so as not to worry about me disappearing again.
After I came back from the break, I felt the joy of coding again. Kiss everyone =3=
