327 Can’t see through
The next day, Xiao Hua left Zengcheng and returned to Yanjing. //.78 high-speed update//
On the day Xiao Hua arrived in Yanjing, he handed over all the power in his hands to his elder brother and abdicated. He even refused to accept the throne and only accepted the title of Marquis of Pingyang.
Returning to Pingyang Mansion, he put his hands behind his hands and looked at the beautifully blooming peonies. Suddenly his legs tightened. He looked down and saw Xiao Long'er hugging his legs tightly. He raised his head, and his big black eyes widened, anxiously. Looking at him, "Dad, the master said that after dad finishes the work, he will take Mo Wang to see his mother. How long will it take for dad to finish the work?"
Since Xiao Hua returned to Beijing, he has been busy with state affairs and has never had time to visit Xiao Long'er. He has free time here and is in a state of confusion. He doesn't know how to explain his mother's affairs to Xiao Long'er when he sees him. After thinking about it, he dares not see Xiao Long'er. "".
Suddenly seeing Xiao Long'er, I felt guilty. I knelt down, picked up Xiao Long'er, wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead as he ran too fast, and said softly: "Almost."
Xiao Longer's eyes lit up, "I will learn my skills from the master and help my daddy in the future."
Xiao Hua's nose felt sore, he raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Dan Hong, who was standing under the shade of a tree not far away, and held back the tears welling up, "Okay."
Her red eyes dimmed slightly, she pursed her lips lightly, and came forward and said, "Master Hou has been tired for several days, and it's time to rest. Don't forget, let's go look for the Ling Yun boy, okay?"
Xiao Longer happily agreed, smiled and broke away from Xiao Hua's arms and went to the ground, "When daddy has rested, Nono will come and talk to daddy again."
Xiao Hua suppressed the pain in his heart and smiled: "Okay."
Danhong took Xiao Longer's hand and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Longer held Dan Hong's hand. He waved his hand to Xiao Hua, turned and left.
Dan Hong turned back, took a deep look at Xiao Hua, and said softly: "Master Hou is a person who can afford to let go. He can even let go of the world. There is nothing he can't let go of."
Xiao Hua still looked back at the peonies in front of him and said nothing. He stood in front of the peonies all night.
The next day, Ye ascended the throne. Xiao Hua disappeared in Yanjing.
Xiao Hua left Yanjing this time. Bringing only a few close friends with him, he raised the curtains of the car. The sun was shining brightly outside the window and spring flowers were blooming. The green leaves on the branches are showing their sharp corners. Everywhere is full of vitality.
The warm breeze blows. But it couldn't get rid of the chill in Xiao Hua's eyes.
Since the male cup inside the body started to make noise, it will be eighty-one days in another half hour, and the male cup inside the body lies as if dead. No matter how much he teases her, she won't move at all. If this continues, after half an hour, I'm afraid she will really die.
In the past, he had been looking forward to destroying this giant goblet every day. Now, every time it weakened, he became very scared. He hoped that it would come alive like never before. Even if it tortured him to the point of death, he would still be happy.
But the more he expected it to torture him, the more deathly silent it became.
I had confidently said before that it was just this life, and at worst I would go to the next life to look for her. If I couldn't find her in the next life, I would go to the next life. But when the day came that I really couldn't see her, I couldn't help but despair.
This long-lost despair is as clear as when she jumped into the sword-forging furnace.
The hands placed in front of his lower abdomen clenched tightly involuntarily.
Xiao Hua abdicated, and Mu Ze also left the palace with him. Xiao Hua came to Zengcheng this time and would not leave again for a short time. Mu Ze naturally followed him to Zengcheng.
Mu Ze saw Xiao Hua lift the curtain and bring the horse over, "Master Marquis, we are about to enter the city."
Xiao Hua nodded lightly and hurriedly rushed back to Zengcheng eighty-one days ago because he always had some luck and extravagant hope. However, the closer he got to Zengcheng, the more panicked he became.
He didn't know what he would have left after today, without any luck.
He raised his head and looked toward the city gate. He came with extravagant hopes, but when he arrived at the gate, he felt no hope at all.
Suddenly feeling a strong air flow in front of him, Xiao Hua looked at it intently.
Seeing a halo that ordinary people couldn't see, Zengcheng was tightly covered. He recognized it as the sky net set by Tian Xingzi, and smacked the corner of his mouth. He didn't know who the little demon was, but he let Tian Xingzi spend such a long time here. .
Consumption?
His people monitored Chu Guogong's former residence day and night, and every move of Caiyi and her servants could not escape their eyes.
Caiyi still refused to give up on him. When he left Zengcheng, Caiyi would not refuse to follow him.
If she wants to go to Beijing, she has to make some arrangements. If Qing Yi's disappearance is really related to her, there will be no clues.
Unexpectedly, Caiyi became smarter this time, as if she had predicted that he would definitely come back to Zengcheng, and she had no intention of leaving for two whole months. She had no intention of leaving, so naturally there was no other movement.
According to Caiyi's temperament, if she had a chess piece in her hand, she wouldn't be so calm unless she didn't dare to move it.
Xiao Hua was excited and said, "Go to the former residence of the Duke of Chu."
***
Caiyi continued the news, Xiao Hua came back to Zengcheng, his face looked happy, and he squatted in Zengcheng, and he was right.
Then he heard that someone was reporting, and Xiao Hua came towards this place. He was startled for a moment, then he stood up and straightened his clothes, and smoothed his hair to make himself look beautiful.
After a while, he saw a carriage parked in front of the courtyard gate. Xiao Hua got out of the carriage and strode into the house without letting anyone follow him.
Caiyi stepped forward to greet her, but Xiao Hua looked directly at the crystal on the wall without looking at her.
Cai Yi's eyelids twitched, and she stepped forward without revealing anything, "Are you here?"
Xiao Hua kept his eyes on the crystal mirror and asked calmly: "Where is Qing Yi?"
Cai Yi bit her lip lightly, lowered her eyelids, and whispered: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but she is really..."
Xiao Hua interrupted her, "Let me ask you one last time, where is she?"
Caiyi said aggrievedly: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Xiao Hua glanced at her coldly and suddenly touched the edge of the crystal. A flash of nervousness flashed in Caiyi's eyes. Xiao Hua saw it and settled down. He ignored Caiyi and carefully looked at the flower carving patterns on the edge of the crystal. .
He was proficient in strange arts, and it didn't take him a while to figure out that the pattern was arranged in five lines. He thought for a while, then his finger fell on one of the patterns, and touched a protrusion at the back. He pressed it lightly and touched it again. In other places, until the last protrusion was pressed, there was a very light 'click' sound.
Xiao Hua pursed his thin lips slightly, groped for the wall on the side, and with a push, a door opened.
Turning back, he glanced at Caiyi.
Cai Yi's face turned pale instantly. If he found Qing Yi imprisoned in the room, she would really die without a burial place.
Xiao Hua's lips turned cold, and he suddenly grabbed Cai Yi's wrist, threw her into the secret room, and then entered.
Cai Yi's face was ashen, and she got up from the ground. She was about to beg for mercy, but she saw Xiao Hua looking around, with a look of despair in his eyes that she had never seen before.
Caiyi turned around in confusion and saw that the bed was empty. Qingyi, who usually slept on it, had gone somewhere.
She didn't know when Qing Yi escaped. She didn't dare to think about the consequences of Qing Yi's escape, but it was a blessing for her that she didn't have to be caught by Xiao Hua now.
Still lying on the ground, pretending to be greatly wronged, she cried and said, "Am I so unbearable in your mind?"
Apart from the bed, there was only a table, a chair, and a flower trellis in this room. There was nothing else. You could tell at a glance that there was no one hiding anywhere.
The hope that Xiao Hua had just raised was instantly frozen and fell straight into the bottomless abyss. At this moment, the lifeless male cup in his body was rapidly disintegrating and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
The little bit of luck and extravagant hope he had left also disappeared, and he couldn't catch a single strand anymore.
Caiyi got up from the ground, suddenly rushed forward, hugged him, and cried: "There is no way I can compare to her. She is alive. No matter how much I do, you can only see her glory. But she’s already dead, can’t you look at me?”
Xiao Hua slowly lowered his head and looked at the woman who was crying so hard.
Seeing him looking at her, Cai Yi held back her tears for the time being and raised her head, trying her best to let him see her face which was somewhat similar to Qing Yi's.
Suddenly, his body was pushed forward by him, and his back hit the wall behind him heavily.
Seeing him bullying me, she acted shyly and slowly lowered her eyelids.
In the past, when the King of Northern Xinjiang was in high spirits, Hou became anxious and would press her against the wall anytime and anywhere to get things done.
She thought that Xiao Hua, out of grief and resentment, became lustful after seeing her similar appearance to Qing Yi, and used her to vent his lust.
This method is certainly sad, but she doesn't care about the humble beginning. As long as she has a close relationship with him, she can slowly get what she wants in the future, just like she was a humble dancer in Northern Xinjiang, but it was short-lived. In a short period of time, she became his favorite concubine, so the beginning is not important, what is important is the future.
Just as she was secretly rejoicing, her neck suddenly tightened and he strangled her tightly. Caiyi was startled and opened her eyes suddenly.
Xiao Hua's eyes were like icy pools on a cold night, without any warmth or any lust. The expression on his face was also indifferent, so indifferent that it could repel people thousands of miles away.
The hand stuck in her throat was so tight that she couldn't breathe, and except for the hand stuck around her neck, he didn't even touch the corner of her clothes. She suddenly realized that she had thought wrong.
He didn't have any pity for Qing Yi because he looked similar to Qing Yi. He never believed that Qing Yi was dead. He kept her because he wanted to find out Qing Yi's whereabouts from her.
When he discovers the secret room and his hopes are dashed, she loses her value.
This knowledge frightened her. She tried hard to grab the hand stuck on her throat, trying to suck in more air, and said with difficulty, "I am her sister..."
Now she only hopes that her relationship with Qing Yi can make him feel compassionate.
Cai Yi's face, which turned red and purple due to fear and difficulty breathing, was no longer the same as Qing Yi's expression.
His face was expressionless, and there was no wave in his voice, "If you die in my hands, you will definitely hate me to the core, and you will naturally hate her even more, right?"
Caiyi was stunned. She didn't know what he meant by this, so she didn't dare to answer.
Xiao Hua looked at Caiyi and suddenly smiled softly.
He was obviously looking at Cai Yi, but Cai Yi couldn't feel that he was looking at her, as if his gaze penetrated her body and looked somewhere behind her.
