Before dusk, another edict came to Princess Yongning's mansion. Xiao Yuwan was ordered to rush into the palace again. As for what happened, she could only know after entering the palace.
When she left, Xiao Yu and Qingxue happened to come back from the lake and met her from a distance outside the second door.
She may have also seen Xiao Yu, who paused slightly before getting into the car, and only entered the carriage at the urging of the eunuch who passed the order.
The wheels were rolling, and the carriage, surrounded by numerous guards and honor guards, slowly headed towards the sunset horizon.
Lone geese soar in the sky, and the sunset is as magnificent as blood.
Xiao Yu stood there for a long time until the team disappeared at the far corner.
But I don’t know why, the back view of Xiao Yuwan when she boarded the car seemed to be imprinted in Xiao Yu’s mind, and will never be forgotten.
That frail figure makes people feel distressed. Who would have thought that such a frail shoulder could carry half of the Qi Empire? Such a woman makes even men feel inferior.
At this time, Xiao Yu felt his sleeve being pulled.
Qingxue's clear eyes were looking at him.
"Little prince, it's getting dark soon, let's go back!"
"well."
The two figures walked back on the golden ground.
The sky quickly turned dark, and the mansion's lights began to turn on.
After dinner, Xiao Yu and Qingxue fed fish for a while by the lotus pond outside "Xianting Xiaozhu" and chatted about home affairs.
He wanted to see Pan Duo again before returning home tomorrow. He didn't know how long he would be gone before seeing him again.
Qingxue nodded and said this is what it should be.
She opened the closet, put on a new long dress for Xiao Yu, and combed her hair again.
Xiao Yu asked her if she wanted to go with him.
Qingxue just smiled and shook her head.
"The young prince and the Prince Consort should have a lot to say. If the servant is around, I'm afraid the Commander-in-Chief can only say half of the words and leave the other half. Why don't the young prince go by himself? The servant will move the things as usual. Hu chair, admiring the moon in the yard, waiting for the young prince to come back."
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and stroked the slightly loose ends of Qingxue's hair at the temples. The girl smiled indifferently, that smile was peaceful and beautiful.
"Go early and come back early. I will wait here for the young prince to come back!"
This scene seems familiar,
The person in front of him suddenly traveled through time and space in his eyes,
That winter, Xue Qing, who was dressed in modern clothes, said the same thing to Xiao Yu in front of her home.
"Go early and come back early. I'll wait here for you pig to come back!"
Xue Qing's voice and smile overlapped with Qing Xue's at this moment, as if traveling through time and space.
Xiao Yu's eyes became blurry for some reason, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.
Qingxue looked puzzled. She blinked and said, "Little Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yu once again hugged her deeply into his arms. The faint fragrance on Qingxue's hair filled Xiao Yu's nasal cavity, making him extremely fascinated.
"Little...little prince..."
Qingxue was so passively held tightly by Xiao Yu, not daring to move. She was so pressed that her chest was a little breathless, but she could feel the heartbeat of the young prince.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to be held so tightly, Qingxue still liked it, and it made her feel extremely at ease.
…
Xiao Yu left Shuiyun Pavilion and walked alone on the bluestone path leading to the front yard.
He didn't light a lantern and walked in the moonlight.
But before they had gone far, they saw a string of lanterns floating in front of them.
As I got closer, I saw the word "Jincheng" on the lantern. I thought this was when I met Xiao Yurong, the princess of Jincheng.
It seems that Yang Hua is the consort appointed by Princess Jincheng. Yang Hua was "assassinated" last night and his life and death are still unknown. It is reasonable to meet Xiao Yurong here.
He was thinking that before going to Pan Duo, he might as well go and see how Yang Hua was doing.
Just as I was thinking of this, I suddenly heard a woman's scolding voice coming from the front: "Hey! Is the person blocking the road in front of you blind? Didn't you see our eldest princess's lantern? Get out of the way!"
Xiao Yu didn't want to argue with the woman, so he stepped aside and made way for them.
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly scolded: "Chunnu, don't be so arrogant here. This is my sister's house, not ours. Don't be rude to others. Go and apologize."
That was the voice of Princess Xiao Yurong of Jincheng, but the soft voice was full of fatigue.
"Hmph, the eldest princess is just too good to the servants. Otherwise, why would there always be slaves who don't know the heights of the world and step on the master's head to shit and pee?"
"Stop talking nonsense, Chunnu, and apologize."
The maid named Chunnu snorted nonchalantly and passed in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly.
But another lantern suddenly stopped in front of him.
While the red lights reflected his face, it also reflected Xiao Yurong's incredibly beautiful face.
Xiao Yurong's red lips opened slightly, and after a look of surprise, she hurriedly saluted.
"Brother!"
The maid who had made the rude remarks said "Ah" and said no more.
Xiao Yu ignored the maid who offended him, and just looked at Xiao Yurong with a gentle face: "The princess is here to see General Yang, right?"
Xiao Yurong nodded silently, her nose twitched, and she tried hard not to let the tears in her eyes flow out.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this: "I just went to see General Yang. I don't know how he is doing now."
"Yang Lang... Yang Lang was seriously injured. He hasn't woken up yet. The doctors from the imperial hospital have come one after another. They have used all the decoctions and gold wound medicines that should be used. They have also given injections. Speaking of danger, whether he can pass through this hell gate all depends on his luck."
When Xiao Yurong said this, she could no longer control her emotions. She sobbed and tears began to flow down again.
This made Xiao Yu feel a little sad, and he had no choice but to pat Xiao Yurong on the shoulder.
"Princess, please don't cry. General Yang has had a rough life. Now he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the bright side. He has joined our Southern Dynasty to realize his grand ambitions. How can he ruin half of his luck because of a little assassin? I believe that General Yang will survive. My sister Yurong will also want to Will he be our son-in-law?"
Xiao Yurong looked grateful and nodded vigorously.
"With my brother's good words, Yang Lang will surely turn good fortune into good fortune and good luck out of misfortune."
"Take me to see General Yang!"
"Brother please!"
Under the guidance of Xiao Yurong and his party, Xiao Yu once again came to the small courtyard where Yang Hua lived alone.
Walking to the door, Xiao Yu took a deep breath. He seemed to be able to smell a faint smell of blood.
He just felt that those nursing homes were really not worth dying for.
Stepping into the courtyard gate, you can see the bright lights inside the house, which is in sharp contrast to the desolation last night.
Now there are a few more servants guarding the courtyard in front of the door. In the courtyard, three white-bearded old men are whispering under the moonlight. Judging from their appearance, they must be the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital!
When an imperial doctor saw Princess Jincheng leaving and returning, she hurriedly came over to ask her why.
But these people couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Xiao Yu.
At this moment, an imperial doctor suddenly shouted: "Hey, look, isn't this the stupid prince in Prince Jiangxia's house? I've seen him before!"
The other two imperial doctors also agreed after looking at it carefully.
Xiao Yu frowned, why do so many people recognize him wherever he goes?
"I once told Prince Jiangxia that if the prince's mind is as good as that of a six-year-old child, it is because of the blessings of the gods and Buddhas. I don't know how the prince's condition is now. I can diagnose and treat the prince again."
"I don't think it's necessary!" Xiao Yu grinned.
"How can you hide your illness and avoid medical treatment like this!"
Once the imperial doctor became serious, he seemed to have an indomitable spirit. He stroked his completely white goatee and insisted on treating Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yurong looked sad and shook her head helplessly: "Brother is here specifically to visit Yang Lang. Please stop making trouble. If you want to see a doctor for your brother, you will have a long time to come!"
"Making trouble? How can you make trouble?"
The serious imperial doctor looked dissatisfied and seemed to have no regard for the identity of the other emperor's relative.
He didn't give up until the other two imperial doctors pulled him and pointed to Yang Hua's room.
Xiao Yurong winked at Xiao Yu calmly. Xiao Yu understood and then walked into the house.
Several of Xiao Yurong's servants just stood guard in front of the door, not letting anyone approach.
Xiao Yu shook his head as soon as he entered the door: "Those imperial doctors are really scary when they are serious..."
"I am a doctor, how can I not treat people seriously?" Xiao Yuwan smiled lightly, but when she remembered that Yang Hua's life or death was uncertain, her smile quickly disappeared.
The two came to the bed behind the screen.
Yang Hua's face was as white as paper, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was lying on the couch. His eyebrows were always slightly wrinkled, and his eyelids were always twitching slightly.
The bed was surrounded by a mess, with several blood-stained water basins and countless bandages scattered around, as well as some unfinished but cold potions.
In short, the whole house was filled with a strange smell of herbs and blood.
Xiao Yu stood in front of the couch and looked at Yang Hua for a long time.
Xiao Yurong covered her future husband with a quilt.
Not long after, Xiao Yu was about to say goodbye, but suddenly heard Yang Hua cough twice.
Xiao Yurong hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and Yang Hua slowly opened his eyes at this moment.
The eyes were dull and confused at first, but they suddenly became brighter when he saw Xiao Yu. He struggled twice and seemed to want to sit up.
Seeing this, Xiao Yurong quickly comforted him not to move, then stood up to go outside the screen to call the imperial doctor.
"Princess, don't call her doctor..." Xiao Hua said weakly.
Xiao Yurong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and returned to the couch.
"Haha... I made the princess worry, and the general is deeply uneasy..."
"Yang Lang, what happened at that time?"
Yang Hua remained silent and just shook his head silently.
When Xiao Yurong saw that Yang Hua was silent, there was a little sadness in her eyes.
After a while, Yang Huacai said to Xiao Yurong: "Princess, I have decided to fall in love with the prince of Jiangxia. I want to have a few words with the prince alone, but I don't know if it is possible."
"Yes, of course." Xiao Yurong replied slowly. She looked at Xiao Yu who was standing aside, with complex emotions in her clear eyes.
Xiao Yu nodded towards Xiao Yurong: "Princess, don't worry, I will take good care of General Yang. If anything happens, I will call the princess in immediately."
Xiao Yuwan sighed softly. She glanced at Yang Hua again. Although she was reluctant to leave, she still went out.
For a moment, the huge room fell into deathly silence again.
Under the lonely lamp, the two of them were silent and looked at each other for a long time.
After a moment, Xiao Yu said: "Yang Hua, no matter who asks, just say that you were attacked by someone and don't know where the assassin came from."
Yang Hua did not respond, but asked in a low voice: "Is she okay?"
"Well, she's okay. She should have escaped. If you want to ask her where she is now, I can only say that I don't know. But this answer satisfies you the most, right?"
Yang Hua smiled and looked up at the beams with a look of sadness on his face.
"Yang Hua, live on no matter what, not for anything else, but for yourself! The Yang Hua of the Northern Dynasty is dead, and so is Hu Xianzhen in her heart. You two owe nothing to each other, do you understand?"
"Originally, I was prepared to die. Being able to die in front of Xian Zhen is enough for me."
"But you're not dead! Yang Hua, I won't let you die either. You are a hero worthy of admiration and a man. Why should children love each other while heroes are short-lived? You have to live for yourself for the rest of your life."
Yang Hua's eyes showed disdain: "Yang Hua is so heartbroken? What do you want to say?"
"You really like Princess Jincheng, the most noble eldest princess in the Southern Dynasty!"
"Why ask her?"
"I grew up with him. When she was a child, she was not well-behaved and sensible. She was even domineering. I even hated her. But she has changed now. Maybe she has changed because of the many things she has experienced. She treats people very well. , she is also very soft-hearted. Maybe she is always bullied, but she knows how to cherish blessings. She cherishes her life and her lover. She will become the virtuous wife that every man in the Southern Dynasties most wants to have. She will support her lover. Go and make great achievements and show your ambitions!"
"My young prince, are you lobbying for Princess Jincheng?"
"She didn't ask me to be a lobbyist. I just think that the girl from my Xiao family is good. Don't let you wrong her! If you let my sister suffer even a little bit, I, as your brother, can't forgive you!"
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Yang Hua's face: "Haha... Isn't her brother the King of Luling? Isn't the King of Luling gone? He died in the hands of your current emperor, haha..."
"Her surname is Xiao, and my surname is Xiao. If she calls me brother, I will fulfill my obligations as a brother! Yang Hua! Don't you know what kind of person Hu Xianzhen is? For a man like you, being a guest on his bed, How many more people are there in the Northern Dynasty? Does she have anything else in mind besides power and the world? If you are useless, she will abandon you like a rag! You have to figure it out!"
Yang Hua closed his eyes and shook his head silently: "Young prince, please come back! I'm tired and don't want to think about this."
Xiao Yu's chest rose and fell violently, although he persuaded Yang Hua to forget Hu Xinzhen.
But in his heart, wasn't the naturally charming Queen Mother of the Northern Dynasty the fatal temptation?
In the cloudy and rainy night last night, he probably couldn't tell who he gave his boyhood to.
But he knew that this was just the beginning of the Northern Dynasty Queen Mother's methods to slowly erode him.
"Then I won't disturb General Yang's rest. I just hope that General Yang will recover soon."
After that, Xiao Yu turned and left.
Behind Xiao Yu, Yang Hua grinned bitterly, his beautiful face becoming distorted, but he tried not to make a sound.
Walking to the door, Xiao Yurong looked at him inquiringly.
Xiao Yu patted the girl's thin shoulder, left her with a firm smile that only an elder brother could have, and left alone.
Walking on the lonely road, Xiao Yu's thoughts were still on Yang Hua and Hu Xinzhen. Perhaps his bond with these two people, especially the Queen Mother of the North, still continued.
Unknowingly, we arrived at the main hall of the eldest princess's mansion. If nothing happened, we should find Pan Duo here.
But before they reached the courtyard gate, they heard a commotion.
Xiao Yu was curious when he saw several nursing homes hurriedly passing by him carrying ladders.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu asked.
A servant knew Xiao Yu and hurriedly replied: "Back to the young prince, my prince-in-law lost his mind and ran to the roof!"
"Ah! What are you doing on the roof?"
No one answered at this moment, and the servant had already run away with his companions.
Xiao Yu felt something was wrong and ran forward for a while.
In the courtyard outside the main hall of the eldest princess's mansion, many people were surrounded by three circles inside and three outside.
All the servants and guests raised their heads and looked up at the tall eaves. They saw a figure holding a wine flask in one hand and a knife fan in the other, walking back and forth on the roof like a tightrope. That was none other than the Prince Consort Pan Duo.
As he walked, he drunkenly recited Cao Mengde's "Dan Ge Xing".
"Singing to wine, life is just like morning dew, the past days are so bitter..."
Xiao Yu was really worried about him, and then remembered that he had night blindness and couldn't see anything in the dark, and he was even more worried about him.
"Consort, come down quickly! It's dangerous up there!" Someone suddenly shouted.
This makes Xiao Yu so angry. He can't see it. If you let him come down, you are just trying to kill his master! This guy should be pulled out and beaten to death!
"You bastard, why are you screaming! You don't know he can't see anything!" Xiao Yu stopped him.
With this shout, Pan Duo, who was "walking on the tightrope" on the eaves, suddenly stopped and became motionless.
As Pan Duo remained motionless, the guests, servants, nurses, and maids below all fell silent.
"Xiao Dalang? You're here! I'm waiting for you!" Pan Duo suddenly shouted with joy, "Come up quickly, come up and drink with me?"
"Come down and drink!" Xiao Yu shouted.
"Then I'll jump down!"
There was a cry of surprise from the crowd.
Xiao Yu quickly stopped him: "No, I'm going up right now!"
Several nursing homes had prepared ladders in advance, but they just couldn't figure out how their master climbed so high.
Xiao Yu is a little afraid of heights, which is why he couldn't be an airborne soldier when he served before time travel. At this moment, his calves were still shaking.
Once on the roof, he slowly moved towards Pan Duo, almost leaning on his butt.
"Is it Xiao Dalang?" Pan Duo couldn't see clearly, but his ears were good.
"Yeah, I'll be here soon, just wait!"
Unexpectedly, Pan Duo was walking on the roof as if he were on the ground. He came to Xiao Yu in a few seconds and sat down.
"The night view tonight is really good!" Pan Duo praised.
Xiao Yu frowned and looked above his head. A crescent moon broke through the clouds at exactly this moment, revealing a bright light.
"Xiao Dalang, take a sip!"
Before Xiao Yu could react, Pan Duo drank several large mouthfuls of wine.
The wine was so strong that it didn't take long for Xiao Yu to get drunk and start to feel light.
"Xiao Dalang, you are talented, but I am not as good as you. The first time was that one who shocked me so much. Later...those others were also so-so. There is a moon and wine tonight, and the wine management is enough." , you and I are here, come up with a poem."
"Okay!" Xiao Yu agreed wholeheartedly.
"What poem should I make?"
"Let me declare first that I don't know how to write poetry. I... am just a porter of poems... Let me see which old man is here tonight..."
Xiao Yu drowsily poured himself a few more sips of wine. The more he drank, the more he liked it. The more he drank, the more he got drunk!
"Come on, "Let's go into the wine"!"
Pan Duo clapped his hands quickly and made a move downwards to heighten the atmosphere!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yu picked up the wine pot and walked crookedly on the eaves, making the people below feel nervous.
He suddenly took a few more sips, and as the wine got to his head, the poem came:
“If you don’t see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return.
Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening.
If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon.
It is my nature that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent.
Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time.
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink wine, but don’t stop drinking.
I sing a song with you, please listen to it for me.
Bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time.
In ancient times, all the sages were lonely, but only the drinkers left their names.
In the old days, King Chen had a banquet and a lot of fun and banquets.
What does the master mean if he has less money? It is up to you to sell it.
Five-flowered horse, golden fur,
Hu'er will exchange for fine wine,
Together with you, we will sell off the eternal sorrow! ! !
Hahaha...hahaha..."
Xiao Yu laughed wildly and threw the wine in his hand into the night sky, turning it into the magnificent and boundless galaxy.
"Okay!" Pan Duo clapped his hands violently, "Has anyone taken a note to write it down?"
"I remember it! I just don't know if I wrote it correctly!"
"good!"
The talented guests at the house below also clapped their hands excitedly, making the atmosphere the most enthusiastic.
But someone asked in a low voice: Who are Master Cen and Dan Qiusheng?
