Wind and rain.
Zhu Xuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night outside and the heavy rain pouring down. Originally, there were still a few lanterns hanging under the eaves, but they couldn't resist the wind and rain at all. The lights were extinguished long ago, and the lanterns were also broken by the rain.
"The wind and rain tonight are really big."
He murmured thoughtfully.
"The wind and rain are heavy, what does it have to do with us?"
With the sound of a delicate voice, a limp body leaned up behind him, and a pair of slender hands climbed onto his shoulders.
"Why isn't your lord still resting?"
This voice is not only delicate and soft, but also reveals a hint of charm, which makes people feel soft and soft after listening to it.
Without looking back, she knew that she was Shuli, the softest and most lovely of her concubines.
Because the weather was oppressive, everyone knew that a big storm was brewing at sea, and the people and things he was looking forward to were all in the midst of the storm, so he was inevitably upset and wanted to let this understanding beauty comfort him.
Originally, these days, because he had another person in his heart, and there was still a major event to do, he seldom pampered these concubines. After all, they only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Acting like a baby in front of him was inevitable. Feel dull.
However, a man who has been tired for a long time also needs the comfort of this kind of woman.
Although he has no brains, when he is with them, he doesn't have to use his brains.
Thinking of this, he smiled.
Turning around, I saw the beauty's shirt half faded.
She was only wearing a bellyband, which could barely cover her jade body, but the large snow-white skin, together with the attractive shape of her chest, made a man's blood boil just by looking at it.
As soon as Zhu Xuan stretched out his hand, he took her into his arms.
"My lord... My lord hasn't come for a long time, I miss you."
"Yeah?"
Zhu Xuan smiled, pressed his lips against her tender skin, and took a deep breath.
Sure enough, it was the familiar powdery fragrance again.
He couldn't help but think that when he was begging for nothing by Ran Xiaoyu's side, he would always smell a very clean smell from her body, without any powder or fragrance, just her smell.
It has been so many days.
I asked people to search everywhere on the official road, and there were hidden stakes everywhere in Changqing City. Why is there no news of her yet
No way, she heard that Si Nanyan went to sea with Jian Ruocheng, did she also go to sea
Thinking of this, Zhu Xuan's expression froze again.
Originally thought that the weather these few days was fine, Jian Ruocheng and the others should be able to return smoothly, at least pass the news back, but unexpectedly, tonight, they suddenly encountered such weather.
At sea, there are already huge waves.
How are they now
Thinking about the iron box that I gave to Jian Ruocheng before, I can't help but hesitate a bit, am I too risky
"My lord..."
Feeling that there was a difference in his expression, Shuli gave a coquettish dissatisfaction: "Why are you distracted?"
"Well?"
Zhu Xuan suddenly came back to his senses.
Looking up, she saw the beauty's thin and angry look, her cheeks were slightly red, and under the rubbing of her own hands, her eyes were slightly rippling, and there was an indescribably charming attitude.
He laughed and said, "It's my king's fault."
After speaking, he picked her up and turned around to walk to the bed.
Shu Li let out a chuckle, and immediately put her arms around his neck, and the two of them rolled together on the bed like two entangled snakes.
But at this moment, amidst the wind and rain outside, a servant's voice sounded——
"My lord."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Xuan immediately raised his head, and Shuli said dissatisfiedly: "It's so late, what else is there? The prince ignores him!"
The person outside the door said again: "This subordinate wants to report something to the prince again."
Upon hearing this sentence, Zhu Xuan, who was almost on the top of his head with desire, suddenly calmed down.
He let Shu Li go.
Shuli said: "My lord..."
"Don't make trouble."
After Zhu Xuan finished speaking, he pulled up his half-faded clothes again, got up and got out of bed and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a servant who was drenched in the rain, standing at the door, cupped his hands and said, "My lord."
"What's up?"
"Words have come from the west of the city for the woman whom the lord wants his subordinates to pay attention to."
"oh?"
When Zhu Xuan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Without looking back, he immediately plunged into the rain: "Let's go!"
Seeing this, Shuli on the bed frowned immediately, and when she rushed to the door, Zhu Xuan and the attendant had disappeared into the rain.
|
At the same time, an inn in the west of the city.
In the upper room, a candle flickered.
Ran Xiaoyu was sitting by the bed, and was carefully covering the bed with a small blanket. Under the quilt, there was a small head protruding from the quilt, with pink make-up and jade carvings, and a pair of big black eyes blinking, which was extraordinarily cute.
"Jade… "
She pouted her small red mouth and pouted into a flower. She didn't know whether she was asking for a kiss or calling someone.
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu smiled on her usual icy face, and said softly, "Don't make trouble, Your Highness, it's time to sleep."
"Jade, jade..."
She was still pouting and screaming.
Children of this age are just when they can talk, and when they love to talk most.
Even if she sees a rabbit emerging from the grass by the roadside, she can scream for a long time.
It really gave Ran Xiaoyu a headache.
After leaving Beiping, they went all the way south. Although they also encountered some obstacles, with Ran Xiaoyu's skill, they broke through without any effort. Until now, they reached Changqing City.
On the road before, there is no need to worry too much, but this is already the territory of Ning Wang Zhuxuan, and there may be his troops around, so Ran Xiaoyu is extra careful, lest this little ancestor say anything.
Fortunately, she can't say anything now.
Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "Your Highness, don't you blame me?"
"Jade?"
His big eyes blinked and he looked at her suspiciously.
Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "Perhaps, I shouldn't steal you out, but I can't stand it. The emperor obviously dotes on the empress so much, but now, the empress is taken away, but he doesn't care about anything, even in this It's time to canonize Concubine Ning."
"..."
"Your Majesty sacrificed for him like that, what did you get in return?"
"..."
"Together with you, the princess, even if the empress can protect you for a while, can she protect you forever?"
"..."
"I know those people in the palace. One or two of them have no good intentions. Sooner or later, they will take the anger they got when the empress was favored back then on you."
"..."
"So, I'll bring you out, let's find your mother, your own mother."
"..."
"As the saying goes, it's better to beg for a mother than to be an official father. We must find your mother. These days, you will be wronged first, ah."
"Jade… "
As if feeling the entanglement in her heart, Xiaoxinping stretched out a small fleshy hand from under the quilt, and gently touched her face.
The palm was warm and soft, as if comforting her.
Xiaoyu smiled: "Princess..."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the guest room, and the shopkeeper's voice came from outside: "Your honored guest."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned, tucked the quilt up for her, got up, went to open the door, and said, "The shopkeeper? What's the matter?"
Standing outside the door was the shopkeeper of the inn, a thin middle-aged man with two beards, and said with a smile: "The villain is here to bring hot water to the distinguished guests."
"Oh? I didn't ask for hot water."
"It's - the weather is cold, if the distinguished guest is freezing, it means that we have not greeted you well."
Ran Xiaoyu watched him walk in with a hot water bottle, put it on the table, and looked towards the bed with a pair of small eyes.
The quilt was moving gently.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Is your guest still used to living here?"
"Um."
"We are near the sea here, and it rains all year round. In winter, the quilts are all wet."
The shopkeeper said as he walked towards the bed, reaching out to pinch the corner of the quilt: "Let the villain take a look, if the quilt is not dry enough, ask Xiaoer to give it to the distinguished guest—"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyu rushed forward, grabbed his arm and twisted it backhand.
"ah!"
The shopkeeper let out a scream, and she was directly pressed down on the table by her whole body.
The shopkeeper's face was pressed against the table, and his hat was so frightened that he dropped his hat: "My dear guest, spare your life!"
Ran Xiaoyu's face was gloomy, and she looked particularly frightening under the candlelight.
"Who sent you here?"
"What did you say, villain, villain, don't you know?"
"I didn't let you in, so you ran in by yourself. What do you want to come to my room to listen to?"
"this-"
At this time, the little quilt moved, and Xiaoxin Ping got out of the quilt. When he saw Ran Xiaoyu's heroic figure, he immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Yu!"
The shopkeeper took a look: "Ah, there is really a child!"
Ran Xiaoyu's face darkened.
She also probably guessed that whether it was in the palace or Prince Ning's mansion, if they heard the news that she was leaving with Princess Xinping, they would definitely come to look for her, so after she entered the city, she hid Xinping and lived in it. Entering the inn is also a person alone.
Unexpectedly, the other party still found it.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the child on the bed, he immediately raised his voice and was about to shout: "Quick—"
Before she finished speaking, Ran Xiaoyu raised her hand and hit him on the back of the head. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and passed out.
"Jade!"
Xinping seemed to be cheering for her.
However, Ran Xiaoyu had already heard footsteps below.
Without further ado, she immediately came over and hugged Xiaoping. Fortunately, it was cold here, and she didn't take off all the clothes for the child even when she was sleeping. Now she wrapped her in a blanket, and tied the child behind her back with a bandage. Putting on the rainproof cloak again, Xiaoxin Ping hid on her body again.
The sound of footsteps has reached the door.
Can't walk through the door!
Ran Xiaoyu turned her head and pushed open the window, seeing that it was pouring rain outside, but without fear, she climbed up to the window, leaped the moment the door was knocked open, and jumped down.
"Fly!"
Inside the cloak, there was an excited voice from Xinping.
