Noble Lady

Chapter 269: Dilemma

Views:

Shi Mingguang finally understood why Xie Yong had to surrender his military power and tiger charms. If a monarch with such a heavy suspicion was not careful, he might end up with a dead body long ago.

Qing girl is not here now. If Qing girl comes back, he will definitely blame him for not taking good care of her father, right? Shi Mingguang shook his head helplessly. He must have owed the father and daughter in his previous life.

The news of Xie Yong's illness was not known to anyone except Xie Yong's confidants, Shi Mingguang and his medicine boy. Shi Mingguang ordered the left and right to strictly guard the news, so except for a few people, no one else in the prefectural palace had heard of the news.

Taishou Qian felt strange, but where was Xie Yong's side he could get in touch with? No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't detect anything.

Just as Xie Yong was lying in bed due to pain for several days, a letter quietly appeared on the low table in Xie Yong's room.

The person who first discovered this letter was Shi Mingguang's little medicine boy. In the past few days, he has been guarding Xie Yong's side.

Xie Yong took the medicine. Just as he fell asleep, Xiao Yaotong did not wake him up, but handed the letter to Shi Mingguang.

There was no signature on the envelope, but Shi Mingguang was sure that it must have been sent by the person who kidnapped Xie Yunqing.

Shi Mingguang did not open it to look at it, but sat outside with the envelope, until Xie Yong woke up, Shi Mingguang held the letter and walked in.

Xie Yong just woke up, only to feel comfortable all over, the pain that had tormented him for a few days seemed to disappear all at once, and it was rare for him to have a good night's sleep. "This is?" Xie Yong asked suspiciously.

"Expand it, I guess, it's news about Qingyao."

After hearing Shi Mingguang’s words, Xie Yong didn’t care about anything else. He quickly took the envelope from Shi Mingguang and quickly opened it. His expression became heavier and heavier. In the end, the expression on his face was as cold as ice. In general, the eyes are so thick that they can't get rid of the cold.

Shi Mingguang looked at Xie Yong's expression and knew that there was definitely no good thing mentioned in the letter. He took it and quickly read it, and his heart sank like a huge rock to the bottom of the sea.

Sure enough, as he expected, that group of people are really the remnants of King Yan.

The two hadn't spoken for a long time. After an unknown period of time, Shi Mingguang took the lead in speaking: "Zhongyi and daughter, which one do you choose?"

This is a dilemma.

Shi Mingguang knew it, and Xie Yong knew it too.

One side is the righteousness of the family and the country, and the other is the dear ones. No matter which one you give up, Xie Yong will regret for life.

Xie Yong's heart seemed to be gripped fiercely by a hand, and the dense pain forced him to breathe. This pain was much more intense than he was wounded and bleeding on the battlefield before.

"I can't ignore the life and death of Da Zhou and the life and death of the people." When Xie Yong said, he could almost feel his face twitching.

That is to choose to sacrifice the Qing girl.

"You think it over, once you decide, you can never look back." Shi Mingguang asked dumbly.

He had expected that Xie Yong would make such a decision. He couldn't blame Xie Yong for anything, but he still felt sorry for Xie Yunqing.

Such a smart and quick girl shouldn't end up like this.

"If so, if I was so cruel and didn't bring her over..." Xie Yong clenched his fist, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged.

Shi Mingguang put his hand on Xie Yong's shoulder, "Do you think, why did they discover the identity of Qing girl?"

Xie Yong's mind is now chaotic, how can he consider so much? He just stared at Shi Mingguang, waiting for Shi Mingguang to speak.

"I'm afraid, when I was in the capital, someone was secretly observing the actions of Xie's family." Shi Mingguang sighed and looked at Xie Yong: "Qing girl was kidnapped. They had calculated it a long time ago. Even if it is not Qing. Girl, they may also tie your other relatives from Xie’s house. Those people, we haven’t had a head-on confrontation, but I can feel their unfathomableness. Even if your family is taken away from the capital, probably It’s not difficult."

After hearing Shi Mingguang's words, Xie Yong took a breath.

He shuddered at the thought of someone watching what happened in his home so closely.

"Aqing understands me?" Xie Yong closed his eyes unbearably. "Even if Aqing doesn't understand me, I can only make this choice."

Xie Yunqing is busy in the garden.

Although she has a quiet temper, she can't do anything here, it's too boring. Seeing that the courtyard was deserted, she and Caiyan cleaned the dead grass and turned the soil again.

"It's a pity that we can't stay here for a long time. Otherwise, when the weather gets warmer, we will sow grass seeds here. When the grass grows here in the future, the green grass will be very pleasing to the eye."

Caiyan has always been a fierce temperament, where is there such delicate thoughts? She only nodded in agreement.

Xie Yunqing just washed her hands and sat in the sun embroidering the kerchief. Caiyan didn't know where she was going, and she hadn't seen a figure for a long time.

She has been here for a long time, and apart from seeing Xiao Xuan once, she has never seen anyone else.

But when did those people start to act? Xie Yunqing began to look forward to their actions.

Xie Yunqing embroidered the veil half-heartedly, and when he recovered, he looked at the veil again, and couldn't help laughing.

What is this embroidered? Originally intended to embroider orchid grass, but looking at the crooked, erratic lines on the embroidered handkerchief, Xie Yunqing couldn't help but want to knock himself. She randomly stuffed the kerchief into the dustpan, when Caiyan was back.

Caiyan was holding a few saplings in her hands, her face still beaming with joy.

"Girl, look, our yard is not free anymore."

"These are plum trees and evergreen trees?" Xie Yunqing walked over. She had just washed her hands, and now she was busy again.

The two of them finally planted a few saplings, and then washed their hands with pancreas. Xie Yunqing was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist now.

"I'll go into the house and rest, so you can rest well."

She entered the room and rested on the pillow.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Yunqing looked up and saw that the sky outside had dimmed. She has been kidnapped for more than ten days. Although it is only a short ten days, she always feels that time flies so slowly.

Xu was too tired, and Xie Yunqing gradually took a nap. In a daze, Xie Yunqing seemed to hear something in her ear.

Although she was sleepy, she still remained sensitive, and Xie Yunqing had quickly woken up. She opened her eyes, almost taken aback.

"Why didn't you say hello? I thought..."

The light in the room was dizzy, and the man wore a plain human skin mask, but his eyes looked unusually clear.

"Why are you still thinking?" A warm male voice rang in the room.

"I thought there was a thief in the room." Xie Yunqing said in a high voice.

break-in? Xiao Xuan was speechless at once, and the'thief' was naturally referring to him. He had the intention to refute, but the facts seemed to be exactly what Xie Yunqing had said. He suddenly appeared in Xie Yunqing's room, which was really his fault.

Xiao Xuan walked in front of Xie Yunqing, leaned down and met her gaze.

"You said, your house is empty, why is it that I, a thief, can steal it?"

The two were so close, Xie Yunqing could almost feel the heat from Xiao Xuan's body and the breath that belonged to him.

The atmosphere was too ambiguous, Xie Yunqing pushed Xiao Xuan away, got up and walked a few steps with Xiao Xuan on his back.

Is there anything worth stealing...

This sentence circulated in Xie Yunqing's mind, and she quickly noticed a different meaning.

Xie Yunqing didn't know that the roots of her ears turned red.

Xiao Xuan looked at such Xie Yunqing, a corner of his heart became softer and softer.

She has always been calm and self-sufficient, and rarely shows her daughter's shyness and restraint. At this time, she looks shy and timid, which is too cute.

Xie Yunqing didn't know what Xiao Xuan was thinking. He turned his back to Xiao Xuan and said, "You gave me all the plum trees and holly that Caiyan brought back today?"

"Who else is there besides me?" Xiao Xuan said with a smile while holding his hand. He knew that Xie Yunqing had been imprisoned for a long time, even if she was calm, she would feel bored, so he sent a lot of books.

He always cared about Xie Yunqing's movement here, and when he heard Xie Yunqing leading the maid to clean up the courtyard, he sent someone to find a few saplings.

"You pay attention to the dynamics on my side like this, what if someone else finds it out? You came to me, did you see it?" Xie Yunqing asked, "You disguise and dangle in front of the group of people. It is already very dangerous. , You are not afraid of being discovered. How do you get out when the time comes?" Xie Yunqing knew that the group of people kept her for a big purpose, so they didn’t dare to do anything to her, but Xiao Xuan is different. Once someone finds Xiao Xuan’s The true identity must be the exception of Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan walked over, held Xie Yunqing's shoulders, and let her face him. He locked Xie Yunqing's eyes and said, "How can I be so stupid? Don't worry, I'm very thorough and no one will find out. "

Caring is chaotic. Xiao Xuan knows that Xie Yunqing is worried about his safety. Xiao Xuan only feels that he is pressing in his heart.

For a long time, what he wanted most was not Xie Yunqing's care

Xie Yunqing didn't know the colorful intestines in Xiao Xuan's stomach, nor did she realize that the two are so close now, she still frowned, "You are fighting alone now, and you will never go wrong if you are careful."

Xiao Xuan nodded the tip of Xie Yunqing's nose, "Who said I was fighting alone? Didn't you stay with me? And, do you think I stayed here alone?"

How can she help? Maybe it will drag Xiao Xuan, but after hearing the next half sentence, Xie Yunqing quickly asked: "Your subordinate... I'll just say, you are missing, how could he not be by your side." Xie Yunqing suddenly changed his words. : "I was still worried about your safety a few days ago. It seems that those worries are unnecessary."
