The queen leaves the court

Chapter 17 Leaving Lang Riding Bamboo Horse (1)
An Zixun thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, An Zixun thinks that the Emperor can let the silver fox out of the forest."

Everyone was in an uproar, the emperor especially liked Fox King, didn't her request mean to win the emperor's love?

Even He Lianqing was also taken aback, he thought that An Zi would propose to reunite, or stay away from Xichu and return to Anjia or something like that.Almost instinctively, he squeezed her hand tightly to warn.

Thinking that he was a little amused by his reflection, why was he nervous?Jin Xiaotong's poison cannot be detoxified in a day or two, the blood of the Three Lives Gu that he gave cannot completely detoxify.

As long as he doesn't let go, where can An Zixun go?
"Your Majesty, look at those silver foxes that seem to have a common sense of humanity. If they are caught, they will be skinned and made into furs. They will bite each other and would rather die than destroy their furs so that they don't fall into the hands of others. For the sake of his own kind, the fox king is willing Dedicate yourself, but also save them. Just like the emperor to the people of Western Chu, if he encounters a strong enemy, he will be willing to fight for it to protect the safety of the people. An Zixun is bold, please let the emperor cut what he loves!"

Helian Yufeng stared at the kneeling woman with lowered eyebrows, and listened to her words.After a long time, he couldn't help praising secretly in his heart, Hongying, you chose a good wife for Qing'er, but it's a pity that she is An Zongbai's daughter.

"Just follow Princess Qing's wishes." He looked at Prince He Lianchen.

"Your servant obeys the order." He Lianchen ordered someone to open the iron cage and release those silver foxes back.

Although the Fox King is attached to An Zixun, he is even more attached to the mountains and forests, and a group of silver figures gradually disappear in the dense forest.

"Your Majesty, in the result of this competition, did the Crown Prince or Prince Qing win?" Concubine Shu brought up the topic again in a soft voice.

Helian Yufeng also seemed to be in a dilemma about this, "Everyone is tired, go to rest first, let me think about it, and make a conclusion soon. Prince, Qinger, what do you think?"

"My son obeys the order."

"My son obeys the order."

Everyone retreated, and He Lianchen passed by An Zixun on his way back to the camp, and said with concern, "Your brother and sister should have their injuries checked by a medical lady earlier, and a minor illness will become a serious illness if it takes a long time. Coincidentally, this time I brought a The Yulu pill given by the emperor is good for the body to calm the mind, and I will order someone to send it to my younger siblings later."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the prince. Don't bother, the prince also has the medicine ready. An Zixun accepts this kindness." She politely smiled and declined.

"Where did the third brother go?" After talking for a long time, He Lianqing was nowhere to be seen.

"My lord has some things to deal with, so I'm leaving first." She said lightly, just now that Guo'er came to see Helianqing anxiously, and it seemed that Hua Qianyou was not feeling well for him to rush there in such a hurry.

An Zixun didn't see her when He Lianqing brought her back from the forest. Hua Qianyou was with the masked man in the forest, and only the idiot He Lianqing didn't know why.

Anyway, he can do whatever he likes, he has the protection of Three Lives Gu, and it's not her turn to worry about it.

Seeing that her expression was different, He Lianchen stepped forward and stood by her side, "Just along the way, I will take you back for third brother."

"Yeah." She agreed.

Seeing this, He Lianxiao, who was ordered to follow An Zixun, quickly followed up, "Sister-in-law, I will send you off with the elder brother of the prince." He felt sorry for leaving her alone, and caused her to suffer from miasma and get injured.

Afterwards, An Zixun didn't blame him.

He Lianxiao no longer ignored her as usual, and called her third sister-in-law respectfully.

In the bright yellow tent, Helian Yufeng was resting. What happened just now made him feel uneasy. After more than ten years of peace and stability in the world, watching the princes get married one by one and make great achievements, I have to sigh that I am really old.

"Xie Cheng." He said in a low voice, and waited for the servant next to him to come forward.

"The slave is here."

"Where did Concubine Shu go?" He slightly opened his eyes, but he couldn't see the beautiful figure.

"Seeing that the emperor is asleep, the empress doesn't dare to disturb her, so go back to her tent first."

Anyway, it was rare for him to be quiet.Helian Yufeng nodded, and slowly sat up.

"What do you think of today's game? Who will win?" He asked Xie Cheng.

"How can this slave be sure that the emperor is wise, so he is a holy judge." Xie Cheng was in his thirties, his face was fair but not handsome, and his words were tepid.

"Why do I feel that your tone of voice has become more and more similar to her over the years."

After hearing this, Xie Cheng just knelt down, "I dare not, the concubine Ying Gui is a heavenly figure, I dare not insult her at all."

"Get up, I know, it's just talking." He told Xie Cheng, "You are taken in by Ying'er, she looks like a brother to you, didn't she teach you to read and write, it's okay to speak like her. "

Xie Cheng got up silently and served Helian Yufeng a cup of tea. Seeing him lost in thought, his expression was very sad.

"Your Majesty, lovesickness breaks one's heart. Concubine Ying Gui has passed away. Knowing that the Emperor loves her so much for her, I must be grateful."

"Grateful? How could she be grateful for the things I did!" Helian Yufeng sighed deeply when he was a little excited to mention the past.

"Your majesty fulfilled the concubine's wish, and you also saw that the prince seems satisfied with the concubine. It was still feasible to use coercive means."

"An Zongbai's daughter is not bad. As Qing'er's princess, she will definitely be able to help him in the future. However, the An family is always a thorn in Xi Chu's heart. I hope Qing'er will not be too affectionate, whether it is An Zixun or that Mrs. Hua will never become the woman who will accompany him for the rest of his life!" Having said that, he returned to his true colors as an emperor.

Xie Cheng was taken aback, it seemed that the emperor had made other arrangements to deal with King Qing.

"I know what he wants to do. The tiger talisman of Xichu's internal servants is not only military power to him, but to the prince, if he loses, it will inevitably cause anxiety among brothers in the future."

"I'm afraid it's inevitable." Xie Cheng said softly.

Since it is the ruthless emperor's family, there is no brotherhood between brothers and sisters.Back then, Concubine Yinggui didn't understand this truth, but in the end...

After hunting at night for two consecutive days and resting tonight, the originally lively paddock became quiet. The guards patrolled in twos and threes. When the bonfire was lit, sparks would occasionally burst out and crackle a few times.

The black figure hid in the woods and waited for a long time, only after a long time did someone come over in a leisurely manner.

The visitor pulled down his hood, with a delicate smile on his cheeks.Seeing that the person covered by the black veil was silent, she stepped forward a few steps, "You came to me and didn't say anything. If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving?" She turned around and left.

"Qianyou, because you acted recklessly, you lost four dead soldiers." The man under the black veil said slowly, his tone was as calm as usual, but there was that kind of shocking chill.

"That's right, I ordered them to kill An Zixun on the way!" She replied simply, staring at the man who came over.

"You got someone's order to attack her."

Hua Qianyou snorted, "I'm happy, I don't want to see her still alive!" The usually weak and submissive eyebrows and eyes raised slightly, showing more unruly wildness.

Unexpectedly, the man waved his sleeves and passed her body, and she immediately spun around a few times, then staggered a few steps, lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Raising her body, she was a little unbelievable when she sat on the ground at first, a bit of fishy sweetness gushed out of her throat and permeated between her teeth.

He hit her?For An Zixun to do something to her? !

When she reacted, Hua Qianyou was angry and annoyed, and she couldn't help trembling to the extreme with anger.

Never thought that he would really hit her.

No matter what she has done wrong these years, at most she will be taught a few words verbally.Like the scene just now, she could never have imagined it.

For a moment, she stared at the man bitterly.

He stared at her resisting expression through the black veil, slowly bent down and stretched out his arms to hug her, although Hua Qianyou struggled, he still hugged her as he wished.

She turned her head away like an angry child, but she let him sit on his lap.

"Didn't I tell you that you can't touch An Zixun? Why can't you bear it for me." He coaxed, whispering in Hua Qianyou's ear like a lover apologizing.

She curled her lips when she heard this, and mocked: "Don't forget, she already knew that I secretly pushed her into the water, and you pretended to be Jinhenbo as an assassin. Now there is no evidence, and He Lianqing will not believe it easily Only by her words can I live in peace. If we don’t get rid of her as soon as possible, maybe even three years ago..."

"Hush!" The man pressed her lips, his eyes were shining brightly under the black veil. "The person who knew about what happened three years ago is Jinhenbo. Just kill him. An Zixun is now a princess. If something happened to her, how could Helianqing let you go?"

"Why, you still care about my life?" Hua Qianyou's lips swelled slightly after hearing this.

"You are my only younger sister, even if you die, you can't die at the hands of others. Didn't you agree, Youer, your life belongs to your brother, how can you make decisions without authorization!" The man's arms around her waist suddenly retracted. Tight, the voice turned cold.

Hua Qianyou was taken aback, a coldness slowly rose from her spine.He is her only brother, the only relative in the world, they have gone through the most difficult and desolate years together, and they are today.

It was this man who let her know what real fear is.

"I know I was wrong." She lowered her voice and begged for mercy. If An Zixun couldn't be assassinated twice, he must be angry, and she couldn't confront him head-on. "Brother, we are the closest people in the world. Blood is thicker than water. I was also worried that your plan would be destroyed."

As she spoke, she sobbed with red eyes.She didn't lie about this, this plan for many years is only for the final success!

After a while, the man raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and gently kissed her teary eyes, Hua Qianyou felt relieved suddenly, knowing that he would let her go once.She couldn't help hugging him joyfully, "I knew brother was the best!" She nestled her petite body into his arms, her posture was intimate/ambiguous.

"It's time for you to go back, and He Lianqing can't find out." After a brief moment of tenderness, he put Hua Qianyou down, and thoughtfully arranged her clothes and fastened her hood.

Hua Qianyou was a little bit reluctant to let him go, "Don't worry, he is drunk in the tent, and he won't wake up for a while. Even if he wakes up and finds that I'm not there, I've made all the preparations, and he has never doubted me .” She was really confident about this.

He failed to assassinate An Zixun twice, she was the closest person to He Lianqing, and he kept her by his side when he made plans.He had doubted everyone about An Zixun's accident, but he trusted her as usual.

On the night of hunting the silver fox, she knew that he found out that the four dead men had sneaked into the forest. In order to delay the time, she deliberately pretended to have a relapse without bringing any medicine.

He Lianqing also ordered people to arrange for her to leave the forest before going back to follow them.

If it wasn't for my elder brother's sudden appearance in the forest and not allowing those dead men to do anything, the miasma alone might have killed An Zixun.

He still cared about her, she wanted Guo'er to send a message that she was not feeling well, this man stayed up all night, and immediately left the injured An Zixun to come and see her.

Hearing that An Zixun was seriously injured, which woman would not wish to have her husband by her side when she was injured, she only said that she wanted Helian Qing to stay with her, and after midnight, that man passed out drunk in her tent.

Just like the day she entered Prince Qing's Mansion, as long as she said something intentionally, He Lianqing didn't even enter the new house, let alone An Zixun, and stayed in her elegant building for several days in a row.

Concentration is the priority, as long as He Lianqing didn't know about the incident three years ago, this man's heart will always be pretending to be Hua Qianyou.

"I'm leaving, brother take care." She smiled and left.

Instead, it was her brother's abnormal behavior that made her a little uneasy!

It was dawn, and An Zixun sat down on the bed, staring at the place where the golden-threaded python bit her calf.He Lianxiao mentioned that she was bitten and poisoned in the swamp, and it was He Lianqing who rescued him.

Such a heavy miasma, he came in to save her?And those who tried to kill her, these things were in a mess in her head, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

In a daze, the curtain of the camp tent was forcefully opened, and no one notified it beforehand.An Zixun looked up and couldn't help being stunned.

How did he come back here?

When the curtain was lifted, it was icy cold mixed with wind and snow, surrounded by the long figure of a man, his royal blue clothes fluttering with the wind, like waves rising from the sky reflected in An Zixun's eyes.

Silently, the man's footsteps stopped in front of her, Mo Fa's face was covered by a strange sea god mask, only showing thin lips that were tightly pressed into cold and sharp lines.

"Why are you here?" Seeing him appear, her surprise was greater than the surprise at first.

"If I don't come, you plan to say nothing, just be ignored by others, and stay alone in this hellish place!" The man's tone was angry, and he sat down beside her, but he didn't see her straighten his back and just sat down. , the coldness on the corners of the lips never melted away.

If he didn't come here, he would never know that An Zixun's life was so bad.

Seeing that his body was covered with snowflakes, he realized that it was snowing outside.It was only autumn, but saw the first snow.

She hugged her hands and gently rubbed her arms a few times. She stayed alone for almost a day and a night, and no one came in. She didn't eat or drink until now, thinking that her body felt cold because of this.

The man just shook off the falling snow from his cloak, and then put it on her body.Although his face was still not very good, his movements became more gentle.

"Stinky girl, that's how you take care of yourself." He scolded, but he could hear his distress.

The cloak carried the residual warmth of his body, making An Zixun's cold body a little warmer.Raising her head, she really wanted to smile and bend her eyebrows as usual, but it was very difficult to do it, so she tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth, looking nonchalant.

"Thank you cousin."

The man snorted coldly, and glanced around with narrow phoenix eyes under the mask.

It was snowing all night outside, and it was terribly cold in the camp, and there was no brazier prepared.She was suffering from cold and was only covered with a thin blanket, sitting on a corner of the bed with a pale face.

Even laughing is barely powerless, and she has to pretend to be happy in front of him.

This is not the Kaoru he is familiar with!
The anger gathered in the eyes seemed to be as terrifying as if it could be turned into a sharp blade with just a light touch. "Get up, follow me!" Without further ado, he was about to pull An Zixun up.

"I can't go." She turned sideways to avoid Jin Henbo, her eyes were faint but firm as before, and she shook her head slightly at him.

Jin Henbo was even angrier, "Don't leave? Look at what you're doing now! Ah Xun, don't think that I don't know what happened between you and He Lianqing if I'm not in Xichu. I've repeatedly told you not to act rashly You'll be fine when I come back, you were injured by an assassin in the Prince's Mansion, and He Lianqing brought you to such a ghostly place to suffer!"

"There are some things you don't know..." She just wanted to explain, but Jin Henbo interrupted immediately.

"I only know that right now you are his princess, but you live in a cold tent, without even a cup of hot tea. You have a cold, especially if the rainy and snowy weather suddenly breaks out, what will you do if you have no servants to serve you?! "As he was talking, he stopped his voice suddenly, and slowly let go of the hands that had been clenched tightly because of anger, and stroked An Zixun's hair.

She lowered her head, her long hair covered her side face, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.Jin Henbo's heart suddenly softened, and when he said this outrageously just now, he knew that she must feel uncomfortable.From the newly married to the present, in just a few months, Ah Xun, who used to always smile and crooked her eyebrows, never saw her smile anymore.

"My aunt's antidote, my cousin will find a way to find it again, but I don't believe that only the Three Lives Gu can cure it. There is no need to ask him, He Lianqing, let's go, Ah Xun!"

He seldom saw Ah Xun cry, no matter how sad she was, she didn't want to be seen, whenever he saw her, she always had a smile on her face.Jinhenbo has only one cousin, whom she loves especially since childhood.

"It's too late. My mother has been poisoned for many years. Before I came here, the doctor told her that she...she will be dead for another year at most." An Zixun choked with sobs, and pulled up Jin Henbo's sleeves, "She shouldn't have suffered all these years. Originally I've already got the antidote, it's useless for me to spread it..."

"Stupid girl, so you have to ask He Lianqing to give you the antidote, so you are willing to endure the suffering and not say anything!"

Jin Henbo sighed softly and hugged her tightly, his robe was full of her familiar smell, just like when he was a child, he was her shelter from the wind, her father was always strict with her, whenever she was scolded, her cousin always protected her like this looking at her.

"I...it's okay..." She sniffed and buried her head in his arms, her voice muffled.

How stupid... She is as stupid as her aunt back then!His aunt, the most beautiful woman in the South China Sea, was once so dazzling, but now she is a poor person with only one year left to live.

Waiting and waiting for half a lifetime, but I can't hope for my uncle's heart.

A Xun's body in her arms is so cold and delicate, even if she leans against him, her straight back is still stubborn enough to bear the wind and rain alone!
Jin Henbo felt sorry for her stubbornness and persistence!He will never let Kaoru go back to her aunt's old ways!

"Ah Xun, you are obedient, go with cousin. Don't worry about anything, with cousin by your side, no one will hurt you! Let's go back to Nanhai, cousin will buy you favorite gadgets, okay?"
