——Ghost Cave
When Chen Shuli came back with Qian Shengxue, he saw Xi Duanhong sitting alone in the yard, lost in thought. Chen Shuli understood the loneliness in her eyes and knew that being in the Sacrifice Pavilion was not her destination. She did not belong here, but now She couldn't go anywhere but here.
"Ah Xi!" Qian Shengxue smiled and waved to Xi Duanhong and ran over, "Ah Xi, Ah Xi, I and I left and listened to the show. It was really fun. It's a pity that you didn't go."
Xi Duanhong stood up and bowed to Chen Shuli, but before Chen Shuli could leave, Qian Shengxue hurriedly pulled her away, leaving Chen Shuli standing there alone in embarrassment.
Xi Duanhong suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a good and extremely helpful helper, "Xue'er, do you want to study in the academy?"
Qian Shengxue's big eyes flashed and she tilted her head slightly, "Academy? What's that fun for?"
"Well..." Xi Duanhong thought about how to explain it to him, "You can think of that place as a place to make friends. It's much easier to make friends than here."
Upon hearing this, Qian Shengxue's eyes flashed with golden light, and she immediately nodded to indicate that she was going.
Now that I have Qian Shengxue involved, the next step...
Before Xi Duanhong could finish thinking about it, Qian Shengxue had disappeared, leaving only the words "I'll go talk to Li about this" before disappearing.
Xi Duanhong shook his head helplessly. He was so anxious, so anxious... At that moment, Xi Duanhong stayed where he was. Wasn't she the same as her before? Since when did she become so thoughtful about everything? Want to think so clearly?
Is this the price of joining the world? Is this the reason why grandpa won't let himself go down the mountain?
That night, Xi Duanhong was called away by Ouyang Zhu as soon as she returned to Xiyang Palace. This was the first time she walked into his room. It was very spacious and bright with few furniture.
"grown ups?"
Ouyang Zhu looked uncharacteristically sad, with a slight frown between his brows and a hint of tears in his eyes, which surprised Xi Duanhong.
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
Ouyang Zhu waved to her and told her to come to him. Xi Duanhong went over without thinking. If she could help him solve his problems, that would be the value of her existence here. She was willing.
Xi Duanhong came to Ouyang Zhu and slowly squatted down and touched his hand unconsciously. Ouyang Zhu unexpectedly did not shake her away, but the eyes that looked at Xi Duanhong were different from those he saw during the day.
"Sir, what happened?"
Ouyang Zhu lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly, "You want to leave here, right?"
Xi Duanhong was silent. She wanted to leave here, but she was also greedy. She also wanted to stay with him, "As the adults said, I want to leave and whether I can leave are two different things. I'm leaving." There is nowhere to go, but here, at least I still have a place.”
"Let's go. You can still go back to the academy. Qingtan will hope that you can win in half a month. By then, you will have the opportunity to win His Majesty's favor and do what you want to do."
Xi Duanhong was puzzled, "Sir, do you want to drive me away?"
Ouyang Zhu shook his head, and his hair fell down, "I'm not chasing you away, this is your choice."
"...."
"Don't worry, I will be waiting for your arrival above the court."
Xi Duanhong understood that he was planning a way out for himself. If he entered the court, he would be the only female official. If the two of them joined forces, wouldn't it be...
Xi Duanhong didn't dare to think about it further, and she didn't want to think about it either. Since he needed her, she could help him.
"Sir, is this the only way?"
"Of course not."
"Okay, see you in the court."
Looking at Xi Duanhong's leaving figure, Ouyang Zhu couldn't help but sigh. He was undoubtedly hurting her by doing this, but there will always be people in this world who are rebellious officials and traitors. Nowadays, the harem is so powerful, especially the Queen Mother, that His Majesty has no choice but to be a puppet. In this case, he had no choice but to make this decision.
Xi Duanhong, who returned to the room, really didn't understand but was also extremely aggrieved. She didn't understand why he asked her to leave here just when she was about to make up her mind not to leave again. Is it really so important to enter the court... ..
Since you want to leave, you must be fully prepared. Tan Yanxian, Lei Qiu, and Nanlian's affairs may not be over yet. You must be more careful, otherwise you will not be able to enter the court alive.
This is bound to be a sleepless night.
