The queen leaves the court

Chapter Three
It rained and the weather suddenly turned cold.

An Zixun stared at the strange face reflected in the bronze mirror, and the face-changing pill turned her facial features into ordinary in just a moment.As long as there is no antidote, it can last for about a year.

"Miss, you insist on making yourself like this, how can you please the lord!" A Duan remembered the moment when the lord didn't go back to Yazhu, and was worried for An Zixun.

"Why should I please him." An Zixun looked at her brand new face in the mirror. Whether she was beautiful or ugly, or even what her identity was, the current Helianqing would not care.

A Duan looked angry and indisputable, the wedding started, the prince stayed in Yazhu until now, and now everyone in the mansion regards Mrs. Hua in Yazhu as the real mistress of the palace.

"Miss, Ah Duan has the guts to say that you have already married into the palace, and you will face the prince face-to-face, what should you do in the future?" She suddenly frowned and sighed. "I heard that Mrs. Hua is the woman whom the prince has been looking for for three years. She seemed to be kind to the prince before."

He Lianqing has been looking for a woman for three years?She was startled, and was about to ask Ah Duan clearly.

The person waiting outside the door suddenly reported, "Wangfei, Mrs. Hua is asking to see you."

The woman walking slowly acted like a weak wind supporting a willow, bowing to her gracefully.

"Hua Qianyou pays homage to Sister Wangfei." She said softly and then slowly raised her head, but she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly lowered her head again.

The pair of eyes of the woman who was sitting and dressing was just a glimpse, her bright eyes were full of beauty and indescribable indescribable charm, but her facial features were not outstanding, not even delicate.However, this pair of unusually beautiful eyes gave her a feeling of deja vu.

An Zixun narrowed her eyes, "You don't have to be polite, get up." The person who was hugged by Helianqing that day was Hua Qianyou.

"Thank you, sister." She was slender and delicate, and was lifted up by the maidservant beside her. "Qianyou should have come to see my sister earlier, but my body is really disappointing. I was sick for a few days before I got better. I hope my sister will forgive me."

The girl following her immediately saluted An Zixun, "Princess, Mrs. Hua suffered from illnesses in the early years because of the prince. Fortunately, the prince took good care of her. The prince originally spared her from saluting to the princess, but the lady said that the princess is a sister, and she will serve her together." Your lord, this courtesy is unavoidable."

"My princess understands."

These words are to tell her how precious He Lianqing is to this Mrs. Hua.The girl serving by her side not only looks shrewd and intelligent, but also probably not weak in skill.

No matter how guarded He Lianqing was, even if he wasn't by Hua Qianyou's side, he would still protect her and make her An Zixun have some scruples!

Her fingers inadvertently slid across the sword scar on her neck, and he swung the sword at her mercilessly, and with the indifference in his eyes, An Zixun pulled the corner of his mouth into a disapproving smile, but it was a bit stiffer.

After a few simple greetings, her quiet appearance was particularly pitiful. After sitting for a while, Hua Qianyou looked a little tired.Holding his hands over his heart, he seemed to be breathing rapidly, and his face turned pale with a few coughs.

The maid beside her hurriedly put the fox fur she brought over her shoulders, "Madam, drink some hot tea."

"Is Mrs. Hua feeling unwell? I am proficient in medical skills, so I can take a look for you?" Seeing this, An Zixun got up, the April weather was already warm, and it was getting colder after it rained, but she didn't need the fox fur?
"If you go back to the princess, the prince has invited a doctor for the wife, so you don't have to bother the princess." She was about to approach, but was immediately stopped.

An Zixun's eyebrows turned cold, "The prince's subordinates are indeed loyal to protect the lord, but they don't take this princess seriously! Are there really no rules in the house?"

"Guo'er is presumptuous!" Hua Qianyou also scolded and ordered the maidservant to back down, "Princess, don't be angry, my cold syndrome is an old disease, and it tends to flare up when the seasons change. It's not a problem, but it makes you worry, forgive Qianyou Step back first."

Being supported by Guo'er to leave, An Zixun's frail figure fell into An Zixun's eyes, and her brows gradually frowned.

"What's wrong with you, miss?"

"You just said that He Lianqing has been looking for her for three years, what kindness does she have for him?"

An Zixun would take the initiative to ask about this, A Duan was stunned for a moment and thought about it, "I heard that he saved the prince, but he was lost and searched for three years, and was found and brought back by the prince not long ago."

Hua Qianyou got cold because of saving He Lianqing?An Zixun frowned and stretched his eyes.

is her!

Suddenly her body felt cold, and she coughed so badly that her heart ached even when she gasped.

In order to save He Lianqing, she shot down the dagger, the Three Lives Gu on his body was so powerful, she just got close to it for a while, and the coldness came back to her.

"It's getting cold suddenly, be careful that your cold symptoms recur." A Duan hurriedly took the medicine and handed it up, then thought, why is it that Mrs. Hua's relapse is so similar to Miss's condition?
An Zixun covered her cool heart, thinking of the way Helianqing looked at her in the restaurant, an unspeakable feeling appeared in her heart.

There is a phoenix bracelet on her wrist, recalling the woman who put on the bracelet for her, with an alluring face and beautiful double pupils.

"Ah Xun, I entrust Qing'er to you. He will be your husband from now on. Promise me to take good care of him."

Concubine Ying, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid An Zixun will not be able to fulfill your last wish.He Lianqing will be the dragon of the nine heavens, but I will not be the phoenix accompanying him.

At first she didn't know that he was Qing Helian, otherwise those things wouldn't have happened afterwards.

In today's situation, he has already recognized Hua Qianyou as the one who saved him, and he only has constant loathing for her.

Her only thought was to save Jin Xiaotong, but how could she persuade He Lianqing to help her.

Late at night, An Zixun coughed badly.

A Duan was anxious and took medicine, but this time he didn't get better. "By the way, miss, I saw Mrs. Hua's symptoms similar to yours before. Didn't it mean that the prince invited a good doctor for her? This servant will go and ask, and I will also invite the doctor to show you."

"Need not."

"Why don't you ask Mrs. Hua for a prescription, and you can try the medicine instead?"

"Silly Duan, even famous doctors say that my cold syndrome is difficult to cure. How can I change this medicine at will?"

Speaking of this, Ah Duan looked aggrieved, "If it weren't for your kindness to save people, miss, you wouldn't have fallen into the cold pool of clear water and got cold three years ago! If I were to find that ungrateful bastard, I would definitely..."

An Zixun stopped A Duan from continuing, and told her to rest instead.

She got up and wrapped her cloak tightly and went out quietly. She remembered that A Duan mentioned that there was a forbidden area in the palace where mandala was planted. This thing has a small amount of toxin, but it can be used as a blind medicine primer to suppress her cold symptoms.

An Zixun took the opportunity to get acquainted with the terrain of Prince Qing's Mansion early on along those remote paths that no one walked for long, and it was not difficult to find it.Not long after, she had already walked into the mandala garden.

Not far away, the footsteps and voices were getting closer, and the figure was walking towards her vaguely. There was no place to hide, and don't expect to be able to avoid it. An Zixun secretly felt unlucky.

Fortunately, it was night, the moonlight was dark, she quickly squatted down and hid among the many flowers and plants, holding her breath.

"Come on, don't hide there and don't come out!"

An Zixun was startled, the voice of the man who spoke was He Lianqing, could it be that he discovered her?
Then the woman whispered softly, "You knew I was coming."

The sound of footsteps in her ear did not stop and gradually came towards her.

"What are you doing in the palace at this time?" She said lazily and casually, but it was casually cold. "Send someone to tell you something important, you shouldn't come here in person."

"My lord is getting married, I should come and say congratulations to my lord and Mrs. Hua in person."

"Xinyou, Qianyou is not feeling well and has already rested, and I have received my heart. It is late, you should go back quickly, lest anyone find you sneaking out of the palace."

This woman is not Hua Qianyou, her obedient voice is still from the palace, and her relationship with He Lianqing should not be ordinary.

The woman sobbed softly, "You are in a hurry to let me go, are you really worried about me or are you afraid that others will know about our ulterior relationship?"

"Little Luan!" Helianqing's tone changed.

An Zixun raised her head slightly, and saw the two figures fused into one in the dark night.He Lianqing didn't know what to say to her, after a while the woman stopped sobbing, the two of them kept their voices down and continued talking.

An Zixun frowned. Amorous men, no matter how good they are in ancient times or modern times, are not worthy of liking or even falling in love.

For He Lianqing, maybe she never really understood him, just like she and he also hid their real identities from each other back then, and never trusted each other...

While the two were lingering, she got up quietly and was just about to lift her foot when she felt something speeding towards her calf. She didn't dare to make a sound easily, so she could only move her body as much as possible to avoid it.

It was still a bit slow, and the calf was rubbed a little, and the pain was severe immediately.

"It's getting late, go back quickly." The figures of the two then walked towards the distance.

An Zixun rubbed her calf vigorously, struggled to stand up, if she didn't leave, she really couldn't leave!

Sighing secretly, he did not underestimate He Lianqing, and knew that he was more troublesome than he imagined.No matter when and where, even the slightest disturbance makes my heart wary.

Such a person is born with a lack of security and trust in people!

Looking around to make sure there was no one there, An Zixun took advantage of a little moonlight to carefully identify the way when he came.

She didn't go far, when the cold wind suddenly picked up behind Shu, she just felt a chill, she instinctively stopped and didn't dare to move again.

An Zixun opened her eyes wide, staring in astonishment at the person standing slowly in front of her.

Wearing a matching red and black dress, the wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, and the cold tip of the sword pressed against her throat, like Shura who had walked out of the fire of hell.

"After hiding for such a long time, even this king was almost fooled by you, but it's a pity..." With just a little more force, the long sword in his hand could penetrate her throat, killing her.

There was a smile on his lips, and when he met the bracelet on An Zixun's arm exposed outside the cloak, his gaze froze for a moment.

"An Zixun?" His eyes suddenly turned cold.

She smiled slightly, and met his cold eyes, "I have seen the prince."

The cold eyes stayed on her face, at this moment he really saw her appearance, her inconspicuous face, even the maid in his mansion was three points better than her.

Only those eyes are thick and graceful, shining like stars in the dark night.

The edge of the sword moved lightly on her skin, and each stroke made her tremble every inch of her body. "The princess has been here all this time?"

She blinked without avoiding his gaze, suddenly sighed helplessly, and quietly stared at the hostile Helian Qing. "Actually, I've been here for half a day, so I didn't come out in order not to disturb the prince!"

"It's been a long time?" He Lianqing smiled, slowly exerting force on the sword in his hand. "Eavesdropping is not good, what do you want me to do with you?"

"You want to kill me, but I don't want to die, so will the prince let me go?"

In an instant, his pupils were full of murderous intent. "You are really brave."

"You can't blame me. I didn't know there were people here, and I didn't hide here on purpose to eavesdrop on you."

"Did you hear that? Then the king can't let you go!" His smile deepened.

An Zixun also laughed along with him, "In this situation, killing me is not the perfect way."

"Oh?" He seemed interested in continuing to listen to what she had to say.

"Where the emperor is, the prince can't give an explanation."

He Lianqing laughed out of disapproval, "It's too simple to explain, the reason given by the king will definitely convince the emperor more than a corpse. Do you want to try it, princess?"

"It makes sense, this An Zixun is really not as powerful as the prince. But if you killed me, wouldn't you violate the original intention of the prince to marry me?" She saw He Lianqing's eyes sinking, "The prince has feelings for Mrs. Hua. But because of Concubine Ying, she reluctantly agreed to marry me. As long as you marry me into the palace, the emperor will definitely feel guilty for you, so the prince can logically accept Mrs. Hua into the palace."

"Once you die, the princess's seat will be shallow, so why not do it."

"It's not difficult for the prince to really not want to marry me. Why did he order someone to bring me into the palace in the first place. An Zixun is too stupid to guess what the prince is thinking, but the prince himself understands very clearly in his heart."

He was ruthless to her at all. At first she thought it was because of Hua Qianyou, but later Jin Henbo told her in a rage that He Lianqing had secretly launched an operation against Nanhai, and marrying her by his side was the best pawn.

People's hearts are unfathomable, and the sea is unpredictable. Three years ago, she saved him to get the Three Lives Gu; three years later, he married her as a pawn to destroy the South China Sea!
There was a flash of sword light above his head, and in the blink of an eye, An Zixun's heart ached, warm blood quickly seeped into his clothes, and a strong bloody smell tangled his nostrils.

He Lianqing slowly took away the long sword, with a casual smile on his lips.

The smile on his lips deepened, but the coldness in his eyes made An Zixun's heart shudder.It seemed that she was really doomed to die, and this man had long thought of various ways to escape.

"People who think they are smart but unfortunately know too much usually don't live long. How do you ask this king to keep you?"

"My lord, you and I are husband and wife, how could I betray you!" She whispered, trembling slightly.An Zixun covered her heart, her face was pale and her breathing was short of breath.

He Lianqing's eyes moved when he heard this, and seeing her in pain, he was about to say something when he was surprised to hear the sound of people outside the garden, who seemed to be panicking.

"Hurry up and call a doctor, Mrs. Hua is suffering from severe cold!"

He Lianqing's expression changed suddenly, and before he had time to care about An Zixun, he hurriedly turned around and hurried away, gradually moving away from her.

When the acupoints were unlocked, An Zixun took out the pill from her bosom with trembling fingers, and she couldn't hold it firmly on the ground a few times, so she took it quickly regardless of the dust.

The body is cold, the heart is even worse!

In Yazhu, He Lianqing stayed up all night, with red eyes watching, his hands tightly holding the paper-colored Hua Qianyou in the coma, and he, who was always calm, panicked and murmured incessantly.

"Qianyou, Qianyou!"

The white-clothed man sitting in the outer room listened impatiently, "You are calling for your soul!"

"Dongfang Feichi!" He Lianqing rarely changed his face and stared at him fiercely. "I've taken the medicine, why hasn't she woke up yet?"

"I'm not a doctor, Prince Qing." The white-clothed and black-haired Dongfang Feichi was sitting there, cold and arrogant and spotless.

He Lianqing carefully covered Hua Qianyou with a quilt, then came out and sat down beside Dongfang Feichi.

"The best doctor in Western Chu is not as good as your Dongfang Guoshi."

"You don't need to flatter me so deliberately, Dongfang Feichi already knew this."

His face was expressionless, his eyes were calm and unwavering, as if he had nothing to worry about, at this moment he stared at Helian Qing beside him without blinking his cold eyes.

"Dongfang, what's wrong with you?" He Lianqing felt that he was a little different from usual.

"There is something wrong with the Three Lives Gu on your body."

"Really?" He Lianqing's heart moved, "Have you figured out anything?" Dongfang Feichigui is the teacher of the Western Chu State, and his divination has never made a mistake.

Dongfang Feichi nodded, "At the end of the day, we can't be sure yet." After a pause, he continued, "When you insisted on looking for Three Lives Gu, I warned you that it can help the host fulfill his wish, but every time The final end of a host is not a good death."

"You think I will too?"

"Now you are just borrowing its power to suppress the poison of 'Li Ren Tear' that you had in the past, but after all, you are feeding it with flesh and blood. Unless you take it on your own initiative, it will stay in your body until you die , but if it stays in your body all the time, one day you will be cursed."

He Lianqing's eyes fell on her who was sleeping on the bed, and there was a little tenderness in her eyes, "Dongfang, I am not afraid of death, but since I was separated and reunited with her, I suddenly want to live longer, so that I can take care of her and guard her, If she hadn't saved me, Helian Qing wouldn't be where I am today!"

"That's all I have to say, so Prince Qing can do it for himself."

Dongfang Feichi understands that it is useless to talk too much, and possessing the Three Lives Gu will make He Lianqing invincible, and the end will not be a happy one, and doom is inevitable.

It worked out, but it didn't help at all.

After half a month, He Lianqing allowed Hua Qianyou to go out for a walk. For more than ten days, he didn't even go to court, and stayed by her side.

"I've been healed a long time ago, the prince doesn't need to be with me every day." Shuixie Lihua leaned against Helianqing's arms with a slight smile, admiring the moonlight.

"Don't like me here?" He hugged the petite her. In early summer, her body was colder than ordinary people. How did this weak body in the cold clear water save him with so much effort? His heart throbbed.

"It's not!" She raised her face and hurriedly explained to him.

"What's that?" He Lianqing deliberately teased her, watching her cheeks blush. "Tell me about it."

"You know." Seeing the strong smile in his eyes, she lowered her head shyly and snuggled up to him and whispered, "My lord, you and I are husband and wife, how could I not like you by my side."

Inexplicably, he suddenly remembered what An Zixun said that night, "My lord, you and I are husband and wife, how could I betray you!"
