Chapter 88 Tuogu
"My nickname is Huanxue. From now on, Mr. Lang, please call me my nickname~" Huanxue gently leaned on Gongzi An's shoulder and spoke softly.
Gongzi An was so fond of her being so sensible and gentle that even though he stabbed her with his own hands and almost lost her life because of it, when she woke up, she didn't even have the slightest intention of blaming her. Instead, she was filled with gratitude and gentleness. Said that he was the savior, but for his sword, she would have drowned in the bathtub.
"Huanxue? I see how sensible and well-behaved you are. I think your mother should give you a gentler and more intellectual name. Why choose such a cold little word? It's so disrespectful to you." Gongzi An grabbed her by the hand. He held his hand and said.
The corners of Huanxue's brows and eyes turned red, and she hurriedly pulled out her hand, saying angrily: "Does Mr. Lang always make fun of me?"
After getting along with each other for the past few days, Gongzi An got a general understanding of her character. She is a shy and innocent little girl. He also smiled and scratched her nose: "How dare you tease us about calling Miss Xue, I feel heartbroken now. It’s not too late, it’s all my fault for stabbing you, and you have to take medicine every day.”
Huanxue rubbed his palm affectionately.
But I heard him speak again: "When you arrive at Wu Palace and things are more stable, I will ask your brother to come and meet you. I have heard Master Tutor mention that you two brothers have a very good relationship. I think you will miss me a lot too." His.”
The tip of Huanxue's nose twitched slightly, and after just a moment of absence, she immediately changed into a grateful expression.
"Thank you, sir. It's been a long time since I said goodbye to my brother Peixian. Are they okay now?"
Young Master An thought about it for a moment. Now that King Wu is terminally ill, his death can be announced as soon as Xie Fengyue enters Wu Palace. Then this girl will naturally become his queen in a few days, so there is no harm in talking about it.
"Everything is going well for your brother in Shengjing now. If you are lucky, he may be able to marry you a princess sister-in-law."
The information Huanxue got was only a general summary of the so-called brother's mother. She didn't dare to speak randomly in case she accidentally leaked the information. Judging from the tone of this young master's An, it seemed that he was the same as Xie Fengyue's brother Xie Lingyun. Very familiar.
She simply changed the topic, covered her chest and frowned slightly, "Mr. Lang, my chest hurts~" These words seemed coquettish and sad, which made Young Master An Wan feel distressed: "I'm going to find a doctor for you right now. ”
When the door opened and closed, she called out: "Mother Liu~I'm thirsty~"
Nanny Liu, who had been waiting outside, then pulled up the curtain and came in. She lowered her eyebrows and replied: "I know Moon Girl~"
Grandma looked up, with a smile on her face.
Isn't this one of the nuns sent by Madam Xie?
She walked towards Huanxue who was half lying on the bed, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Lang Jun said that you should start with Young Master An first, and you must get evidence of the collusion between the Xie family and Wu Gong." After that, She straightened the broken hair around Huanxue's ears very naturally.
Huanxue covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled coquettishly: "Send a message to Lang Jun. Xie Lingyun and Wu Gong are also related."
Grandma smiled and nodded, then picked up the already cold tea and walked out of the back room.
After a while, a gray bird flew out of the inn.
When Gongziyan received the secret letter from Huanxue, he and Xie Fengyue had not spoken for four days.
Old Man Xiao's originally cheerful face completely collapsed after walking through the last dense forest in the Qishan Mountains, and he couldn't even put on a fake smile. He held Xie Fengyue's hand farther and farther away, and said solemnly: "My grandson is in charge of the girl. I can only send you here."
Xiao Xuan, who was originally very excited, wrinkled his face unconsciously when he heard this: "Grandpa, why are you so serious? I said I would come back to accompany you every spring, why don't you believe me? .”
Old Man Xiao ignored his noisy grandson. He grabbed Xie Fengyue's hand and didn't let go: "Girl, if my grandson does anything wrong to you in the future, please consider that I have saved you and Lang Jun." For my own sake, I must spare his life." After saying this, he wanted to kneel down.
Xie Fengyue quickly raised her legs to stop his movements: "Old man, Xiao Xuanzi has been following us for several days. I think he is also a sensible child. I really like him from the bottom of my heart. Please don't say such things. ”
Xie Fengyue didn't understand why Mr. Xiao would say such nonsense, but she knew that she couldn't give an absolute answer to everything, so she simply responded vaguely.
The old man Xiao on the side had a gloomy look on his face. He resolutely left her legs alone and knelt directly on the mud: "Please, girl, please agree to my only request. He still has a long way to go. Although I know he won't make it." It’s something unreasonable, but there’s no telling whether he will be stupid, so he asks the girl for a promise again.”
Xie Fengyue sighed. It seemed that if he didn't agree to this request today, the old man would really fall to his knees.
"Okay, if one day Xiao Xuanzi is really stupid, so stupid that he will lose his life, I will do my best to protect him and save his life."
What Xie Fengyue doesn't know now is that in the future, her words will come true. Xiao Xuan will massacre the city and force surrender to make people angry in order for her to ascend to the throne of God. Xie Fengyue will also fulfill today's promise and keep his life.
Xiao Xuan lowered his head and pursed his lips. He thought in his heart that if he was really rejected and killed by the new emperor whom he personally supported in the future, it would be because he was not capable enough. If it really got to that point, this vague promise of an oath would not be enough. How effective can it be?
Seeing that Xie Fengyue really agreed to this request, Old Man Xiao smiled a little and said to Xiao Xuan with relief: "Grandpa can't accompany you anymore. You have to rely on yourself for the future. Remember Grandpa." If so, you are the smartest child in our Xiao family in a hundred years, and you are the one that grandpa likes the most.”
For some reason, Xiao Xuan felt a sore nose when he heard these words. The joy of flying out of the mountain suddenly disappeared. He stubbornly turned his head to the sky: "Okay, I'm sorry, go back quickly. If it rains on the mountain road, But it’s hard to leave.”
The more Xie Fengyue heard, the more something was wrong. Why did this sound like asking for an orphan? Originally, the old man asked Xiao Xuan to follow him out of Qishan. She just thought that the old man wanted to let the child see more things, and she didn't think he looked like him. It looks like his life is about to end soon.
Xie Fengyue looked at Gongzi Yan who was silent at the side in confusion, but saw him looking at a note with a solemn expression.
She then turned back to look at her grandfather and grandson who were biting their ears. Perhaps he was unfounded. When this old man climbed mountains and jumped into streams, his legs were not sore and he was not out of breath. It looked like he would live long.
Uncle Xiao patted his grandson on the shoulder and pushed him towards Xie Fengyue: "Come on, little Xuanzi!"
Xiao Xuan looked at his earnest, tearful eyes and really didn't know how to face it. He turned around stiffly and then raised his little hand and waved, replying with a thick nasal voice: "I will be back in the spring next year. You Remember to hunt me a nice animal skin in winter, I want to wear it.”
Old Man Xiao responded with trembling lips: "Okay."
