Phoenix Queen

"Are you awake?" Xia Ying frowned, and wiped the edge of Long Yuan's sword with her dark black clothes, without even looking at Gui Hai Xiuli, she breathed heavily on Long Yuan's sword from time to time, Said in a deep voice, "Baili Fengye hasn't come back yet, go back and find Haixili by yourself."

"I..." Gui Hai Xiuli opened his mouth and struggled to stand up from the bed. He felt a headache when he moved a little bit, and shook it vigorously a few times. To ease the headache, "I..."

Guihai Xiuli looked out of the window, the sunset had already started to sink, it was still afternoon when he strode in the icy water, and after waking up from sleep, so much time had passed...

Guihai Xiuli still remembered the scene of Xia Ying feeding him medicine in the haze. At this moment, he smiled wryly twice, sat up straight from the bed, and was stunned. The wound has already been medicated, and it is very comfortable to be cold.

Opened his mouth, Gui Hai Xiuli smiled slightly. When he woke up, he already felt much better. He jumped up and down from the bed to the floor. A writing brush was found in the palace...

Xia Ying didn't know what the kid wanted to do, she paused for a moment while wiping her sword, and looked up in Guihai Xiuli's direction!

"Okay!" Gui Hai Xiuli raised a smiling face, touched his neck, then stopped his hands on the purse around his neck, pressed the sachet tightly and smiled, "It's that picture... I've already completed it. gone."

As soon as the words fell, Gui Hai Xiuli hurriedly ran outside.While running, he said, "I won't be lazy, tomorrow I will also take a step... Oops!"

Hearing Guihai Xiuli's "Ouch", Xia Ying's eyes suddenly opened, and she grabbed Longyuan and quickly chased after her, her expression quite nervous.

"Xiu Li, why are you here!" Xia Ying heard a light and soft voice before she got outside the house, "Why didn't you be careful? Did it hurt?"

That was Situ Qinglian.When Xia Ying went out, Situ Qinglian was rubbing Gui Hai Xiuli's forehead, "Does your sister know you are here?"

"Aunt Qing Lian!" Gui Hai Xiuli hugged Situ Qing Lian's waist and rubbed lightly on her abdomen a few times, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt."

See here.Only then did Xia Ying loosen the grip on Longyuan.

Situ Qinglian also obviously saw Xia Ying, and patted Guihai Xiuli on the head, Situ Qinglian squatted down, and scraped the tip of Guihai Xiuli's nose with a hot smile, "Okay, auntie has something to do Say it. Go back and find Xi Li."

"Yeah!" Gui Hai Xiuli nodded vigorously, then turned to look at Xia Ying again.Only then ran out to face the setting sun.

Seeing that Xia Ying was just looking at herself, but didn't say a word, Situ Qinglian shrugged helplessly, "Don't you invite me in?"

Situ Qinglian was wearing a beige Confucian shirt at the moment, not at all like an empress in the palace, but no different from ordinary women outside the palace, the clothes were not luxurious.But it made Situ Qinglian more humane, and met Xia Ying's slightly wary eyes.Situ Qinglian sneered, "Alright...Qing Lian is just a woman, is it worthy of Prince Jing'an's attention? Don't worry...I don't want to do anything, I just brought you something." Situ Qinglian followed Confucianism Take out a silk scarf from the cuff of the shirt.

After walking in front of Xia Ying in a few steps, Situ Qinglian handed the silk scarf to Xia Ying.

Xia Ying didn't reach out to pick it up, Situ Qinglian sighed, took Xia Ying's hand, and put the silk scarf in her palm, "Don't worry, this silk scarf has never been soaked in medicine, and there is no hidden needle. .”

"You..." Xia Ying didn't refuse, but frowned in confusion.

Stretching, Situ Qinglian yawned, "It's really far from here... I've walked a long way from my place to here, and I'm so sleepy."

After complaining a few times, Situ Qinglian's eyes stopped on the silk scarf, "Do you want to know what I gave you?" With a few playful blinks, Situ Qinglian smiled and said, " This silk scarf was not mine at all... It was given to me by Xiu Li's sister. I heard from the maids in the past few days that you asked Daxia's first minister to go outside the palace to find Mr. Ouyang's authentic work, so... I just I brought you the silk scarf."

Xia Ying's pupils dilated, and she suddenly spread the silk scarf in her hand... Could it be that the embroidery on this silk scarf was also drawn by Ouyang Yixian.

"Why?" Xia Ying put away the silk scarf again, and looked directly at Situ Qinglian's face, "You said you want to make friends with me, but I don't believe it!" After a pause, Xia Ying continued, "You The first time I said that I wanted to make friends with me, although I was confused in my heart, I believed it. However...my attitude towards you is not good, it can even be described as bad. After several times, no one will be willing Continue to make friends with a person who has no friendship, but you still help me, now... tell me your real purpose."

The setting sun fell on Xia Ying's black robe, Situ Qinglian looked at the woman against the sun, and saw that most of her body was under the sun, even though it was the setting sun, it was still dazzling, she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"If you still want to talk about friends, then... you can leave now. There is no need to waste your time." Xia Ying never moved her eyes from Situ Qinglian as she spoke, as if she wanted to use her Use all your senses to judge whether what the person in front of you is saying... is the truth.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ying would suddenly ask such a question, Situ Qinglian was obviously taken aback, but after a while, she laughed softly again.

"Okay! Even if you don't believe me, Qing Lian still wants to say it again. I really like your temperament, and I really want to be friends with you, but... if there are other reasons, it's not for nothing." Situ Qing Lian suddenly leaned over and leaned into Xia Ying's ear and said, "I saw him when I was 16, and married him when I was 17 despite my father's objection, and when I was 19... I helped him seize his father's military power. He's covered in blood, you say...what the hell am I doing all this for!"

Xia Ying frowned, thinking of another man in white, her heart ached, she lowered her eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Is it... love?"

Situ Qinglian's smile froze on his face.There was a bit of unnaturalness in her body, but she still nodded and agreed, "Yes! Xia Ying...don't tell Qing Lian that you have no purpose in marrying Hua Chu."

"..." Xia Ying was noncommittal.

"I can see that you don't have any scenery in your eyes or heart." This is the first time that Situ Qinglian did not call His Majesty Jing Feng in front of others, but called him by his first name, "I didn't know your name at first. The purpose, but recently...Qing Lian guessed a little bit. Come to think of it, you probably have a lot of connections with Mr. Ouyang." Pulling the beige Confucian shirt, Situ Qinglian's tone was a little tired, "I know... a person like you, if you don't have him in your heart, then...you won't stay in Hua Chu forever. I hope you leave, and I hope you can find the answer that you must stay in Hua Chu as soon as possible, so... as long as it is You need the clues, and I happen to have them, so... I naturally don't mind sending them to you."

After all, Situ Qinglian let out a long breath of relief.There was a moment of silence in the Kunhe Palace, and I was stunned for a long time.Situ Qinglian just said again, "In this concubine, in the palace, it's actually not a bad feeling to be able to express what's in your heart."

"..." Xia Ying couldn't see anything on her face, and she didn't know how much she believed Situ Qinglian's explanation, "You want me to leave Hua Chu as soon as possible? Are you afraid that I will become Hua Chu's real queen?"

Rubbed his eyes.Situ Qinglian's laughter was clear and gentle, and the fragrance of tea on her body was elegant and lingering. "What is a real queen?" Situ Qinglian raised her eyebrows, "Xia Ying, since you have a phoenix seal on you, then you are Hua Chu's queen, there is nothing real or fake, I want you to leave... no I'm afraid you like Shangjing, but...Jing likes you." Situ Qinglian's voice paused for a moment when he said the last sentence, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists in his shirt.

After a few seconds, Situ Qinglian's voice sounded slowly again, "I want you to leave... I'm actually afraid that you will hurt him, or that he will hurt you."

The Longyuan in Xia Ying's hand suddenly burst into blue light, presumably Xia Ying's emotions were touched by this sentence.

"I said... I really like you. If there is a friend like you in the harem, then life will not be boring." From Situ Qinglian's eyes, Xia Ying seemed to be I really saw her sincerity, "You and he are both destined to take off in this era, and your position will always be Da Xia! But he is the emperor of Hua Chu, two countries are two positions... Xia Sakura, do you think the two of you will really live in peace?"

Xia Ying became quiet. She thought of a hundred reasons, but she never thought that the answer she would get one day would be like this!

I don't know if I should believe it, but... Situ Qinglian's voice is so sincere, and the reason seems to be taken for granted.

After a long while without Xia Ying's reply, Situ Qinglian didn't urge her, but just stuck out her tongue at Xia Ying and made a grimace, "I know that even if you really will leave, it's not now, you should still be here Hua Chu stayed for a long time, so... I will come to you in the future, I said that I like you and want to be friends with you." This elf's weird appearance is full of scheming everywhere The harem and the palace are like a ray of colorful sunshine. It's no wonder that although Situ Qinglian is a member of the Situ family, he is still Jing Feng's extremely trusted person.

"Xia Ying!" Situ Qinglian took Xia Ying's hand, "Before he ascended the throne, I would often leave the palace, but now... as an imperial concubine, there are more rules, what new things have happened outside the palace? Can you tell me something?" Situ Qinglian was a little lonely, "By the way, I haven't seen Qinglian friends in the rivers and lakes for several years, do you know any news about them? Actually... sometimes I wonder , if he hadn't won the throne back then..."

After that, Situ Qinglian didn't continue, but shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, "Impossible, if he didn't... come to think of it, he and I are no longer in this world."

The silk scarf was put into Xia Ying's sleeve, and it was close to Xia Ying's skin. Xia Ying was a little absent-minded thinking about...the one that Gui Haixiuli saw from Gui Haixili and...completed for her Zhang Tu, and... This silk scarf originally owned by Gui Haixili seems to really explain one thing - Ouyang Yixian and Guihaixili are definitely old acquaintances!Could this bit of information be revealed on purpose by Situ Qinglian?Somehow, in her own heart, Xia Ying actually had some resistance to this conclusion.

Xia Ying kept a distance from everyone in Hua Chu Palace, however.Situ Qinglian didn't care about that alienation at all, and held Xia Ying's hand and talked a lot. When talking about those things, Xia Ying never expressed any opinions, but she never interrupted Situ Qinglian. , perhaps, this is Xia Ying's way of...recognizing this woman.

Baili Fengye was called away before, saying that Jing Feng was looking for him on business, with Baili Fengye's character.Even if the other party is the emperor of Hua Chu, as long as he is sure that he will not be in danger, then no one can control him. The reason why he followed is just because the palace man who came to pass the message whispered in his ear Say something. "Senior Baili, your father, General Baili, has also arrived."

Aotian and Luobei also mentioned it a few days ago, saying that Bailixuan came to Huachu in a short time, and he was also one of Daxia's envoys...

That person is Baili Fengye's adoptive father, but he is also the most powerful official in Daxia, and he doesn't treat Baili Fengye well.However, there is no such person.Baili Fengye would not live until now... Every time he faced the person he needed to call 'Father', Baili Fengye would have a complex emotion in his heart, which was really hard to express.

"Your Majesty, we're here!" The palace man who sent the message led Baili Fengye to Jing Feng's imperial study, "General Baili and His Majesty are waiting for you inside."

Baili Fengye gave a wry smile, looked down at the red dress on her body, and took a deep breath.Only then did he push the door open and enter.

In the imperial study room, Bailixuan and Jing Feng talked about something.Both of them laughed heartily, but their laughter stopped suddenly when Baili Fengye entered the door.

"Father!" Baili Fengye called out, squinting at Bailixuan with a pair of phoenix eyes, "Why are you here?"

Bailixuan stopped laughing, dressed in military uniform, exuding a sense of solemnity and sternness, his eyes were as sharp as two knives... Baili Fengye turned his eyes away, and did not look at Bailixuan's eyes, Baili Feng Ye called this man "Father" for 19 years, but he knew that no father in this world would look at his son with knife-like eyes.

"Evil!" Bailixuan spat out two words viciously.

Baili Fengye sneered softly, raised her phoenix eyes, and lazily stretched out her bare hands to chat with the flaming red dress, "Father doesn't seem to be in a good mood, Feng Ye doesn't think your current complex is suitable for me to be with you." Feng Ye is talking about things..."

After the words fell, Baili Fengye turned around and walked out of the imperial study room without saying a word. Bailixuan's face was livid, he grabbed an inkstone and threw it at Baili Fengye's back, "Come here!"

Baili Fengye didn't dodge, letting the inkstone hit her back firmly.

"Nizi!" Baili Xuanchong looked at Baili Fengye's red dress and roared in a deep voice, "This is how you talk to Weifu."

Jing Feng smiled unabated, and watched the scene carefully, tapping his fingertips on the desk a few times from time to time.

In this imperial study room, all Bailixuan's actions, even if they are called disrespectful, are not unacceptable. However, Jing Feng is not angry. No matter how powerful he is, one can even see how much he despises Xia Gan from Bailixuan's eyes.

In Hua Chu, although Jing Feng did not hold all the power, although the three major families were powerful, they restrained each other. It was impossible for a powerful minister to influence the government in the short term. This point...Jing Feng was luckier than Xia Gan many.

"General Baili, don't get angry." Jing Feng brushed his dragon robe, with an amiable but undiminished majesty. He put on the airs of an emperor, but Bailixuan dared not underestimate him, "Why don't you go to the palace to rest, today It's getting late too, if there's anything else, it's okay to talk about it tomorrow!"

Bailixuan's face hadn't calmed down yet, but he had no choice but to show off Jing Feng's face, he clasped his fists, and immediately saw Gong Ruin go to the palace.

After Baili Fengye left the imperial study room, he originally wanted to see Xia Ying, but... At the fork in the palace, Baili Fengye saw the palace wall and remembered the Kunhua Palace outside the palace. Ye decided to go there first.

Immediately, Baili Fengye practiced lightness kung fu, and arrived at the Kunhua Palace in the suburbs not long after.

The Kunhua Palace was not as empty as Baili Fengye thought. As soon as he entered the door, Baili Fengye saw the back of a woman in purple...

Apparently, the woman in purple also heard the commotion and turned her head leisurely, but this person was Qin Ziyou who had just returned from the Valley of Gentlemen.

The moment he saw Jing Feng, Qin Ziyou's eyes lit up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his usually quiet face, "Lou..." Originally, he wanted to call the host, but Qin Ziyou was slightly taken aback, and immediately changed his words Said, "Second hall master!"

Baili Fengye didn't expect Qin Ziyou to appear here. Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't investigate further, but Qin Ziyou spoke first, "I've been waiting here for the hall master for several days."

Qin Ziyou was wearing a dark purple skirt. She walked up to Baili Fengye with a respectful expression, "Hao Niang was secretly protecting Lin Ruansi, but she was ambushed outside the Valley of Gentlemen a few days ago... and I came back It's getting earlier, so... I don't know much about what happened in Gentleman's Valley."

Hearing this, Baili Fengye nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. He was about to ask Qin Ziyou if he knew about the 'flying flowers, red, blood and tears', but unexpectedly, she missed it too.

"That's right!" Qin Ziyou looked at the man in red in front of him, and some other emotions flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Baili Fengye's hairpin, Qin Ziyou frowned, and took out the hairpin from his arms. Another hairpin, "This is the fragrant wood in the Valley of Gentlemen. It is seven hundred years old...it is extremely rare and has the effect of invigorating blood and nourishing the spirit. The original poster used the wooden hairpin. If you don't mind, use it."

As Qin Ziyou said, he reached out to take off the bodhi wooden hairpin from Baili Fengye's hair...

Baili Fengye floated back, and with a move of stepping on the snow and swimming waves, he immediately left Qin Ziyou five meters away!

Qin Ziyou was stunned, seeing the sudden distance from Baili Fengye, his heart was empty, his hand hurt, it was the tip of the jade hairpin inserted into his flesh.

Baili Fengye looked at Qin Ziyou's phoenix eyes flashing displeasure, "No need!"

On the wooden hairpin on her hair with plain hands, Baili Fengye's long and narrow red eyes carried a long-lasting emotion. The bodhi wooden hairpin on her hair was cut for Xia Ying with the Long Yuan Sword , gave it to him personally!

So, is heaven or anything more precious than it?

Qin Ziyou lowered her eyes and said to Baili Fengye, "Hao Niang and Wufeng are already entrenched in Hua Chu, and An Chen has been locked up by Lao Ran for lying to the building again and again."

Baili Fengye took a long breath, An Chen had been by his side since he was a child, Baili Fengye really didn't want to be an opponent to him, but now, even if he believed in An Chen's loyalty, he would not punish him .

"Understood!" Baili Fengye waved his hand.

Qin Ziyou gave a wry smile, turned and left Kunhua Palace.

Until Baili Fengye could no longer see her, Qin Ziyou stared at the 700-year-old fragrant wood hairpin in his hand, and broke it into pieces one by one... His hands were covered with blood.
