The Queen of Destiny: The King's Side

Three days passed, and the soreness on Xixian's body finally eased. She was wandering around the general's mansion these days, and heard people say that Yuwen Haoxuan and General Wang had never been back to the mansion since three days ago, even Liu Maolin and Xia Zizhao Also disappeared.

It's already summer, and the night is no longer cold. Xixian only wore a single shirt and sat in the small courtyard with Xuechun, tying the copper bells with multicolored ropes. She even asked Xuechun to buy a few exquisite ones. The big bell was about to be tied to the net, and she thought that since the name of the copper bell had the word bell in it, she should also have a bell on her body.

"It's so tiring! I used to tie nets for people, and I could make several in one night. I've never done netting for horses before!" Xue Chun complained while tapping her sore arm.

"The copper bell is tall and big. If it is too small, it will not look good. If you persist, won't it be ready soon?"

"Princess, you have never put so much effort into dressing yourself up. I'm so jealous of the copper bell!" Xue Chun said, pretending to be unhappy.

Xi Xian glanced at her with a smile, and still didn't stop her hands, "There's nothing to be jealous about. On the day you get married, I promise to dress you up better than a copper bell."

"Princess, why do you say this again? I don't want to get married!" Xue Chun blushed and threw the net in her hand aside.

"Okay, okay, can't I stop talking? Hurry up and help me tie the net, the copper bell is still waiting to be worn!" Xi Xian said and stuffed the net back into her hand.

"Princess, tomorrow is your birthday, have you thought about how to spend it?"

Xi Xian said without thinking, "How else can I live? Just make a bowl of birthday noodles as in previous years."

"How can we do that?" Xue Chunyuan stared in disapproval, "In the past, it was because we didn't dare to make too much publicity in the palace, but now we have the final say on how we live outside the palace. If we don't grasp this time I don't know when I will be able to leave the palace again after the opportunity."

"After talking for a long time, I think you want to play, right? My birthday has become a cover for your fun." Xi Xian saw through her little thoughts at a glance.

Being caught out, Xuechun said embarrassedly, "It's a little bit, but the main thing is to celebrate your birthday, and besides, princess, don't you want to have a good time?"

"You little ghost, if you want to play, you insist on dragging me. Tell me, what do you want to play?"

"I've already made inquiries. There will be a temple fair in the south of the city tomorrow morning. Let's go to worship Buddha and ask for a lottery. At noon, we will go to the most famous restaurant here to have a big meal. In the evening, there will be a night market in the north of the city. I heard that there are many people with high nose bridges and blue eyes. What about people???" Xuechun talked eloquently, while Xixian shook her head at the side, and played as she said, and the birthday would not last for several days.

Xue Chun was talking vigorously, but horseshoes and shouts could be faintly heard in the distance. The voices gradually became clear from far to near, and even the sound of weapons colliding could be heard clearly, and the sound of panicked footsteps kept ringing outside the courtyard.

"What's the matter? Could it be the Huns who invaded the city?" Xuechun looked out of the courtyard in fear.

"Impossible. If the Xiongnu attacked the city, there would not be only so little movement. There are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside the city. Even if the Xiongnu attacked in, they would not be so fast." Xi Xian comforted Xuechun and gave her a dose of reassurance. On the other hand, he walked out of the courtyard, grabbed a little maidservant who was fleeing for her life and asked, "What happened outside?"

"I don't know too well. I heard from others that Vice General Zhang has joined the enemy and is now attacking the general's mansion. They say they want to capture the emperor and Buda Chanyu, who you dedicated to the Huns." The little maid ran for her life after speaking. run away.

Xi Xian retreated to the courtyard, closed the courtyard door and bolted it, and said to Xuechun, "Hurry up and move some heavy things to block the door."

Xuechun and her blocked all the things that could be moved in the house in front of the door, then retreated into the house, plugged all the doors and windows, extinguished all the candles, and found two daggers, one for each of her and Xuechun.

The sound of fighting outside went from far to near and then from near to far. You can imagine how fierce the fight was after going back and forth several times. Xi Xian's heart also rose and fell with the sound, tightly holding the dagger in her hand, If any rebels broke in, she would kill herself immediately.

Having experienced life and death once in Xia Mansion, this time she has calmed down a lot, and from time to time comforted Xue Chun who was trembling with fear.

"Princess, what if the rebels really broke in? The emperor and Eunuch Liu are not here, who will save us?" Although the room was pitch black and no expression could be seen, Xuechun's voice was already crying.

Xi Xian put her arms around her and said, "If someone really breaks in, hide behind the bed and don't make a sound. The person they want to arrest is me, and they won't deliberately search for other people."

"Princess, Xuechun will protect you even if she dies." Xuechun's choked up voice revealed a firmness.

"Silly girl, don't do this, you will only lose your life in vain, and you still have to save your life to help me report to the emperor!"

Xuechun's choking sound continued, Xixian hugged her like a child, the fighting sound gradually weakened, but they still didn't dare to act rashly, the surrounding was silent, only the occasional sound of weapons clashing could be heard in the distance, Xi Xian and Xuechun clung to each other until morning light appeared on the horizon.

"Bang bang bang???" There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, Xi Xian and Xue Chun got up in a jerk, and pulled out the dagger to protect their chests.

"It's me, is there anyone inside? Xuechun, are you there?" A familiar voice came from outside the door, Xuechun sat on the ground and cried loudly, ignoring her help, Xixian rushed to the courtyard to remove the things blocking the door Open the door.

Hearing Xuechun's cry, Liu Maolin was startled and didn't know what happened inside. It wasn't until Xixian opened the door that his heart fell to the ground.

"What's the matter? Why is Xuechun crying like this?" Liu Maolin looked at the two of them again and again, but found nothing unusual.

"It's okay, she was scared, she will be fine in a while." Xi Xian quickly pulled Xuechun up and explained.

"It's good that the beauty is fine. The emperor was worried and asked me to come and have a look. There are still some things unfinished at the barracks. I will leave this team of guards behind. If the beauty has something to do, just tell them." Liu Maolin blew like a gust of wind after speaking. Walk.

Xi Xian learned from the guard that General Wang had found Wu Cheng who escaped three days ago, but unfortunately he was already dying when he brought him back, and died within a day. The news of Wu Cheng's death, and Vice General Zhang, the planner of all this, really couldn't sit still after learning the news that Wu Cheng was still alive.

While the moon was dark and the wind was high, he gathered his cronies to attack the general's mansion, and wanted to capture Yuwen Haoxuan and Xi Xian as hostages, so that he could escape safely, and then handed them over to Buda Shanyu to claim credit for himself.

It's a pity that he didn't know that all his actions were under the surveillance of Yuwen Haoxuan. The General's Mansion, which he thought could be easily breached, almost wiped out his entire army. I thought it was a trusted person who caught him.

Now he is being scolded by everyone in front of the whole army, waiting to be executed by Ling Chi.

After Xuechun scolded for a while to relieve her anger, she finally couldn't help being tired and fell asleep. Xixian covered her with a quilt, and after finishing the netting that was about to be knitted, she also felt exhausted, so she fell down beside Xuechun. went to sleep.
