The queen leaves the court

Chapter 26 Healing the Wounds (2)
She stood up suddenly, and rushed out without saying a word!

Playing the qin in front of the palace gate was a thin young woman named Jingchai in commoner clothes, holding a stringed qin and standing in the wind, coughing unceasingly.

An Zixun recognized the violin in her hand as the one that Ji Yunshang was going to sell yesterday.

The woman looked at An Zixun, and slowly stepped forward with some doubts, "My young master said that the owner here bought his violin yesterday, may I ask if the young master who bought the violin is here?"

"Ji Yunshang asked you to come?" It was heard that the voice was someone who was sick in the room last night.

"It's my young master, does this lady know?"

"What about others? Why did you send them here?"

The woman lowered her eyebrows and her voice was very soft, "My young master is sick and it's inconvenient to go out. I asked my servant to bring it to the palace, and asked my wife to hand it over to the seller. The servant will go back and tell the young master to reassure him."

Ji Yunshang sacrificed her life to save her, but was injured by He Lianqing's palm. She was too hasty at the time, and she didn't have time to ask clearly.He asked someone to send Qin to the palace, probably because he knew her identity.

"So how is he now?"

"The young master said Madam, please don't worry, he can take care of himself." She said goodbye to An Zixun hurriedly and left with worry on her face.

Until the night approached, He Lianqing did not come back.

The candle burned to the end, and with a sudden jump, the room was instantly dark, An Zixun regained his senses and looked out, for many days around this time, He Lianqing would always come here once.

Every time he came, An Zixun knew about it, but she stayed in the room silently. In fact, she suppressed what she was hoping for in her heart, but she refused to be tempted any more.

There was light footsteps in the ear, and then there was a scent of medicine, which was kapok.

"Princess, you haven't eaten or drank all day. Eat as much as you want, and then drink medicine." The slender and beautiful back remained silent for a whole day, and she didn't move. The whereabouts told Prince Qing.

This time the tiger talisman was lost, although the prince was angry before leaving, he still asked her to take care of the princess.The princess didn't ask the prince a word, but Mu Mian could see that she was worried after all.

After changing the hot meal and soup, she stood behind An Zixun and suddenly knelt down.

"The servant knows that I am sorry for the princess, and I still have to explain some things to the princess."

After half a stick of incense, she knelt still. An Zixun knew that Kapok had a tough personality, and if she continued to ignore her, she would definitely kneel to the end.

She turned around and stretched out her hands to help her up. She has no hatred for Kapok. After all, she obeyed Helianqing's orders, and the matter involved Helianxiao and her safety. If An Zixun stood in her seat to choose, she wanted to choose It will do that too.

Insistently refusing to get up, Kapok raised her head and said to the woman in front of her, "I asked someone to inquire about it early in the morning, but there was no news from the palace. This tiger amulet is of great importance. It is useless for the princess to worry about it here. Please use it first." Meals and decoctions. As for the kapok, please punish the princess as you like!"

"Get up, let the past be over, I don't blame you, if the prince hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have been injured and lost my life, it's because I want to inquire about the news of my cousin and the seventh master alone. I underestimated the opponent." She glanced at the things on the table, her stomach was empty, she only felt a little cold, but she didn't feel hungry at all, and the day passed without knowing it. "The Tiger Talisman is lost, and he hasn't heard from him yet, so I don't have the heart to eat anything."

"The prince is very concerned about your health, so you should use it." Mu Mian comforted, although she has been following the seventh prince, she has also heard about Prince Qing's behavior. Although she treats women gently, she is even more ruthless.

On the way back from the hunt, the prince took care of the poisoned princess all night without sleep. I have never seen him treat such a woman with such care.

miss her...

An Zixun had mixed feelings in her heart, he seemed to have a little different change towards her, she didn't want to feel it, she didn't want to remember it, let alone appreciate it.

Jin Henbo and He Lianxiao disappeared, the Tiger Talisman was lost, a series of things happened, An Zixun supported her aching forehead, what should she do now?
"Kapian, who is that man named Dongfang?" Suddenly, she thought of the man who was as cold as an iceberg, and she didn't know why she thought of him?

"National teacher Dongfang Feichi, it is said that he can predict the future."

"Prepare the horse, I'm going out for a while." She stood up and put on a cloak and decided decisively.

The mountain road was rugged, and it was also dark, so she rode Yuhua Cong up the mountain alone to find Dongfang Feichi.

The sky was getting bright, and she had already arrived at Yunwu Mountain.

Surrounded by clouds and mists like this all year round, Dongfang Feichi stood at the top of the steps with black hair and white clothes, looking at the woman who came all night.There was no trace of expression on the ice-carved face.

"Princess Qing." He was cold, and his voice was even colder, like tapping a piece of ice lightly, and all he heard was the chill of broken ice.

She licked her dry lips, "I don't know why I came to you, but I don't know who to look for now. Dongfang, I lost Helianqing's tiger amulet. He is in the palace now, and I have no news .The loss of the Tiger Talisman is not a small matter, and it may affect many people. I want to ask you for help!"

Dongfang Feichi raised his head and stared at her eyes. It was not surprising that Helianqing would be fascinated by these beautiful eyes. "You want me to figure out where the Tiger Talisman is?" he asked.

An Zixun shook her head, "To be honest, I don't believe in prophets. I lost the Tiger Talisman, so I will naturally take responsibility."

This invisible woman gave him an indescribable premonition that she was the doom of He Lianqing's life, and one day in the future, a war that would never happen in a century would start because of her!

"If you don't believe me, why did you come to me?"

Facing his question, An Zixun said slowly, "Although this tiger talisman was used to order the guards of the Western Chu capital, for He Lianqing, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, this is an absolutely unacceptable mistake. If it is caused by the loss of the tiger talisman I cannot escape the blame for the disaster. I am not only Princess Qing, but also the daughter of King Zhennan. If something goes wrong, the emperor will definitely use this to order the dismantling of the feudal clan. I am afraid that the lives of hundreds of people in the An family will be lost. It will definitely involve the Jin family in Nanhai. Another battle."

In the clouds and mist, she stood facing the wind, her purple sleeves fluttering, and her plain face was calm. These words were the worries that had always existed in her heart.

"You want me to leave a way out for the An family in front of the emperor."

An Zixun laughed, "Yes, only you can do it."

"You should ask He Lianqing, what he said in front of the emperor is more effective than my national teacher." Dongfang Feichi flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.

She walked quickly to Dongfang to stop him, "You should have a very close friendship with him, he never trusted anyone, but you and He Lianxiao were by his side when the Three Lives Gu broke out."

"I've always disliked him. It's not for the sake of being the same master. I'm too lazy to pay attention to him." Dongfang sneered, Helianqing was difficult to deal with, and his princess was even more difficult to deal with.

"I don't want to involve him, no matter what!" She pursed her lips tightly. An Zixun admitted that what Mu Mian said about He Lianqing disturbed her mind a bit. When she came, she thought a lot. One day, when He Lianqing led the army to meet her relatives, how would she choose?

"Do you think He Lianqing will let you go? Princess Qing, you'd better not have the idea of ​​running away from him. Some things are doomed from the very beginning, and you cannot prevent them by yourself."

Dongfang Feichi spoke every word clearly, as if he could understand what was in her heart.

"That guy must not have told you that what he is worried about is not just military power, what do you think it is for giving you what he has worked so hard to get?" Seeing her face change, Dongfang felt a little bad for no reason.

He knew He Lianqing just as He Lianqing knew him.

That guy waited for this tiger talisman for ten years, and handed over such a precious thing to An Zixun for safekeeping. Dongfang Feichi could think of what he was thinking.

It is said that he can watch the stars and divination, but in fact, he is not watching the stars in the sky, but watching the hearts of people in the world!

With this heart of He Lianqing, she thought too much, wanted too much, and indeed got too much, but she never knew how to cherish it.

"Princess Qing, it's not difficult for me to help you. Do you dare to make a bet with Dongfang Feichi?" He suddenly made a request to An Zixun, "If you win, I promise you three conditions, no matter how difficult it is. It is against morality, and I will abide by it."

"What will I give you if you lose?" She bit her lip, indeed she didn't believe in divination, but what Dongfang Feichi said really guessed what she was thinking.

In front of this man, her heart was seen thoroughly.Suddenly, An Zixun shuddered.

If what he said is not bad, then He Lianqing refuses to let her go, how will she leave smoothly?

"Three Lives Gu." He said those three words slowly.

"Impossible!" An Zixun shook her head, he wanted the Three Lives Gu for his mother and concubine, and he endured such inhuman pain for three years, not everyone can do it.

Anyone who knows that the Three Lives Gu resides in his body, He Lianqing will not bypass it!Not to mention getting his Three Lives Gu!
Dongfang Feichi disagreed, "Do you agree or not?"

"What do you want to bet?" An Zixun couldn't help asking after thinking about it.

He smiled very rarely, but it was more chilling than not smiling, An Zixun thought, maybe this is why Dongfang Feichi didn't smile. "One of your lives."

"I bet he won't!" Dongfang Feichi's bet was very weird.

"As long as you promise, you owe me your life from now on. Don't you want to protect King Zhennan and the Jin Family of Nanhai? I will definitely help you! But when I ask for your life, you have to give it to me." , or ask He Lianqing to exchange Three Lives Gu."

An Zixun pondered for a while, then stretched out her hand and gave him a high-five in the air to swear, she really made a profit by exchanging hundreds of lives by herself!

Returning to the imperial capital from Yunwu Peak, before reaching the city gate, someone rushed towards her in the distance.

"Ah Xun!" Someone called her from a distance, running panting.

Stopping the horse, An Zixun jumped off the horse, "Why do you appear so suddenly every time?" He was sweating profusely, and just kept laughing when she heard her question.

This childish smile really made her feel a little indescribable, bitter and bitter in her heart.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's go." As he spoke, he took An Zixun's hand and waved to the people behind him. A carriage came slowly, and Rong Fu drove.

"Chunshui, do you want to go back?" Seeing that he put a lot of things for the trip in the car.

Helian Chunshui nodded repeatedly, "Go back to Jinzhou!" He pushed An Zixun to get her into the carriage.

"Why are you in a hurry to go back?" An Zixun asked Rong Fu who was frowning.

"Hou Ye." Rong Fu couldn't see it, and couldn't answer An Zixun out loud, so he could only complain to his wayward master, "Princess Qing can't go with you, you are..."

"Why not? If you don't leave, it will be too late!" He said for no reason, and An Zixun grabbed his hand.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Concubine Qing, don't listen to what Master Hou said." Rong Fu felt distressed and helpless, "He seems to be more confused after he recovered from his illness. He entered the palace once today, and he didn't know why he had to leave when he came back. When he came out, he deliberately Go to the palace to find you, and then stay here for half a day."

Helian Chunshui didn't pay attention to what Rong Fu said, he just urged An Zixun to leave quickly, muttering, "I saw the emperor beat Uncle Sanhuang, he also beat me, it hurts, he still He said he wanted to find you, Ah Xun, to enter the palace."

In the side hall of the palace, Helian Yufeng pursed his lips tightly, walking back and forth sullenly with his hands behind his hands.He Lianqing stood in front of the hall, and neither father nor son spoke a word.

Xie Cheng came in and said softly beside Helian Yufeng, "Princess Qing sees you."

"Let her in!" Helian Yufeng frowned when he heard this, and flicked his sleeves in front of Helianqing, "The thing that caused trouble!"

"An Zixun kowtows to the emperor." She hurried in, and the first thing she saw was He Lianqing standing on the side. Seeing her, her originally calm eyes became cold and severe.

"What are you doing here?" Without waiting for Helian Yufeng to tell her to stand up, he pulled her up and pushed her back, his brows furrowed and he roared, "Go back!"

Helian Yufeng was furious, slapped the desk hard, and pointed at Helianqing, "Presumptuous thing, I haven't said anything yet, but you have regained your spirits! She entered the palace according to my order, how can you order it at will?" of!"

"Father, the minister's dereliction of duty regarding the tiger talisman, the father can punish you any way, but it has nothing to do with An Zixun." He was silent just now, with an expression of indifference, but now he blocked her behind with deep eyebrows, palm Wrapping her little palm tightly, it was still so cool, but An Zixun's heart felt hot for no reason.

Helian Yufeng suddenly smiled angrily, "Are you responsible? As the commander of the three armies, you lost the Tiger Talisman, how can you bear it? Let me ask you, if someone takes away the Tiger Talisman, the military power of the Imperial Capital of Western Chu will fall to you." In the hands of others, how do you protect the people of Western Chu? When disasters happen, how can you save them with a single commitment!"

What he said was exactly what An Zixun was worried about, "Your Majesty, the tiger talisman is actually..."

He Lianqing stared at her sharply, with a terrifying aura. "Above the court, you are not allowed to be presumptuous by a woman."

"Princess Qing, what do you want to say to me?" Helian Yufeng looked at An Zixun's urgent expression, and asked her in a soft tone.

"Father, she has nothing to say to you, is she the princess?" He hinted with force in his hands that she was not allowed to say another word.

An Zixun bit her lip and glanced at him, then stubbornly turned her head and looked at Helian Yufeng again, she had already thought about the retreat of Anjia and Nanhai, as for Helianqing, she didn't understand why he defended himself like this, I just want nothing to do with him.

"An Zixun does have something to say." She slowly withdrew her palm from his grasp, and he made a few finger marks on her white and white wrist. Collided together and then separated.

In 12 years, the relationship between her and He Lianqing is like this bracelet. One day, he will be the king of the dragon soaring nine days, and she no longer wants to be the phoenix who will accompany him.

"An Zixun!" He shouted her name sharply.

She tried her best to shake off his hand, and in Helianqing's astonishment and anger, she bent down and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I lost that tiger talisman. I can't forgive myself, so I plead guilty to the emperor and ask the emperor to punish me."

Helian Yufeng listened and looked at Helianqing beside her, and said for a while, "This is a serious matter, Princess Qing is willing to take the initiative, and I must give an explanation."

"An Zixun is willing to accept the crime."

"What is the emperor going to do with An Zixun?" Seeing that she had said everything, He Lianqing suddenly laughed, her pupils were too deep to see what he was thinking at the moment, she turned around and she asked Helian Yufeng again.

"She is your concubine. According to the rules in the army, she will be punished with a staff of fifty to serve as an example. If this eventually causes disasters, I will not be relentless. I will commit the same crime as the common people and give her death."

An Zixun's heart turned cold, she had thought about this ending.

"How will the emperor deal with his son?" He Lianqing asked again.

"You shielded the princess, neglected your duties, punished you with half a year's salary, and closed your doors to contemplate your mistakes. You first return the seal of the commander of the three armies to me. The matter of tracking down the tiger talisman will be handed over to the crown prince."

He smiled after hearing this, but raised his head and said, "Father is not fair, this tiger talisman was given to An Zixun by my minister, and it is my minister who should be punished to get it."

"Prince Qing wants to take your concubine's punishment?" Helian Yufeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" He replied, then walked to An Zixun's side, and pressed her shoulders fiercely. She didn't want his partiality and protection. She shook off his hand to separate herself from him. Why did you do this?

An Zixun, unless this king does not want you, you will never succeed!
Although his smile was alluring, she could sense how deep the anger was behind that smile.

"My lord, you don't need to favor An Zixun any more. I lost the tiger amulet and should be punished." She lowered her head and turned her eyes away from him.

"Father, An Zixun is my minister's woman. If I make a mistake, I will take care of it. Even if I want her life, only my minister can do it!"

"Are you sure you want to protect her?" Helian Yufeng asked again with an accentuated tone.

"Yes."

"Come on, Prince Qing has disobeyed the holy will, and he will be punished with a staff of one hundred before the court!" Helian Yufeng's voice lost its warmth, and he ordered immediately.

Ying'er, it's your son after all, according to your temperament, no matter how much I dote on him, he will never be any better than him!

You protect An Zongbai, and he is protecting that man's daughter now, only if you make me unhappy, you mother and son will be happier, right?

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down!" Xie Cheng hurriedly knelt aside to beg for mercy, serving Helian Yufeng for more than [-] years, and this was the first time he saw him so angry with Helianqing.

Apart from not being able to give him the throne, Helian Yufeng's tolerance and pampering towards Helianqing came from that immortal woman, which has been known to everyone for more than 20 years.

"Stupid slave, if you say one more word, you will be punished as well!" He angrily kicked Xie Cheng who came forward to beg for mercy.

With a staff of one hundred, it hit He Lianqing's back again and again, without mercy.The emperor has an order, which one dares not to obey!

"My lord!" An Zixun and Xie Cheng were dragged out of the hall, she turned to look at He Lianqing, and his gaze followed her.

The distance was far away, and she couldn't see clearly what he wanted to express in his eyes, but she only remembered that the last look was in the morning light, and the originally gloomy him suddenly smiled at her, just like the first time she saw him.
