Chapter 171
Wu Zhen had recovered at this time, upon hearing this, she immediately opened her mouth to explain: "It was Zhu Zhiwei who pushed the princess into the water, I saw it with my own eyes! Prince Xiao was not called by the princess, it must be some passing maid See, I yelled out because I was afraid of accidents, I can testify to this point!"
Only then did everyone realize that Wu Zhen was also there, and quickly saluted, "I've seen Princess Chang'an!"
"Okay, don't be too polite, let's leave quickly!" Wu Zhen said: "Come here, bring two cloaks and send the Princess and Prince Xiao back to their rooms to change their clothes!"
A few court ladies just took orders to leave, and the queen mother is late.
Not only the Empress Dowager, but also the Emperor Longde and the Empress, "See the Emperor, see the Empress Dowager, and see the Empress Dowager!"
At this moment, Lu Xinyan was burying her face in Xiao Yichen's neck, looking like no one saw anyone.
Her hands and feet were wrapped around Xiao Yichen's body, and Xiao Yichen's arm wrapped around her waist in the water to prevent her from sliding down with all her strength.
However, the water in this hot spring is as deep as chest, and the color of the water is not clear. No one knows what's going on below.
Seeing the two hugging each other in the hot spring pool, Emperor Longde's expression was very bad. Originally, he had planned to betroth Lu Xinyan to Long Tianxing, but now Lu Xinyan hugged other men in the hot spring in a large crowd. Losing his reputation, how can he give him a marriage?
Thinking of the imminent entrustment of the Negative Dragon family, Emperor Longde had a headache and asked very unhappy, "What's going on?"
Wu Zhen hurriedly recounted what she saw before.
"This is a good daughter brought up by the Zhu family!" Emperor Longde snorted coldly and walked away, "It's all gone!"
Originally, he was a little bit suspicious, whether Lu Xinyan deliberately designed Xiao Yichen, but now that Wu Zhen explained, the doubts in his heart immediately dissipated.
As soon as Emperor Longde left, the empress followed, and the empress dowager looked at the two in the pool with complicated eyes, and then followed.
Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo, Bai Zhi, Wu Sheng and Li Yu.
Wu Sheng's expression was a little subtle, and the rest of the people were all worried.
"Xiao Shizi, you can let go now." Lu Xinyan leaned on his shoulder and whispered.
The shallow and warm breath and the soft body made Xiao Yichen stiff all over, "Didn't the princess say that you sprained your ankle? I'll carry you up!"
"...it's all right now."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Yichen hugged her horizontally, "Do all the tricks!"
Lu Xinyan blinked her bright eyes, "I didn't jump down!" Although if Zhu Zhiwei didn't push her, she would jump down too.
"Did I say you jumped off by yourself?" Someone's lips curled up.
Lu Xinyan choked, and secretly scolded herself for being stupid, isn't that just playing on her own? "I didn't jump down anyway." She muttered, refusing to admit it.
Someone hummed, and the corners of his lips became more and more curved.
It took only a moment to get out of the water to the shore, and before the coldness spread all over her body, Lu Xinyan was already wrapped in a big cloak.
Wu Zhen thanked and said: "Xiao Shizi, thank you, Qing Ruo and I take Zhuzhu to change clothes first, Xiao Shizi, you also hurry to change clothes, so as not to catch a cold."
Xiao Yichen cupped his hands and said: "Princess, you don't need to thank me, this is Xiao's internal affairs!" Of course it is an internal affair to save his wife.
Wu Zhen nodded before she had time to think, she led the way, Bai Zhi and Yan Qingruo supported Lu Xinyan on the left and right, and they left quickly.
"Xiao Shizi, are you alright?" Li Yu asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'll go change my clothes first." He used to be General Zuo Lang of the Imperial Forest Army, he was familiar with every place in the palace, so he left without anyone leading the way.
"Third prince, let's go back to Qingfeng Palace." Li Yu called out, but found Wu Sheng was stunned, and called out again, "Third prince?"
Only then did Wu Sheng come to his senses, with a strange voice, "Oh, let's go."
In Qingfeng Palace, because of the arrival of Emperor Longde, it was no longer as casual and natural as before. Everyone sat in their own seats and did not dare to move around at will, only dared to talk to those sitting around.
Emperor Longde's complexion was not good at this time.
Long Tianxing, who was sitting not far from his head, looked even worse.
Long Tianxing hadn't personally seen what happened in the hot spring, but he had heard a lot about it.
No man, after hearing such rumors, will not feel a little turmoil in his heart, especially the person at the center of the rumors is Lu Xinyan who is about to marry him!
Although he asked for a marriage for a different purpose, he couldn't ignore the face of the Long family.
Long Tianxing's face became more and more hostile, and after several changes, he finally made up his mind.
Marry, no matter what, we must marry her back first!
The Empress Dowager glanced at Emperor Longde a few times, but hesitated to speak.
She knew that Emperor Longde was Xiao Yichen's default candidate for the concubine, and she also knew that Emperor Longde intended to give Lu Xinyan to Long Tianxing, but now, Lu Xinyan fell into the water and Xiao Yichen rescued her. Accidentally, they got mixed up!
Xiao Yichen is a man, so he can gain the reputation of being a hero and saving the beauty, but Lu Xinyan's reputation will be completely ruined!
If Emperor Longde's previous plan is still followed, I'm afraid Lu Xinyan's life will not be easy in the future!
But the Queen Mother also understands Emperor Longde's difficulties!
The Empress Dowager is different from the late Emperor and Emperor Longde. She doesn't like the Long family, which once dominated the government and had too much influence on the late Emperor. In addition, she doesn't have that deep affection for the Empress and Wu Zhe's brothers and sisters.
However, Emperor Longde needs the Long family, and needs the Long family to contain the momentum of the Zhen Guo government and contain Ge Taishi's faction.
So even though the Empress Dowager thought she would make the mistake or make the mistake and betrothed Lu Xinyan to Xiao Yichen, she didn't say anything after all!
At this time, Long Tianxing stood up, cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "My Majesty, since I saw the heroic appearance of Princess Zhuzhu four days ago, I have fallen in love with her at first sight, thinking about her day and night, and never forgetting her. Your Majesty, betroth Princess Zhuzhu to my minister!"
This was originally an agreement between Emperor Longde and Long Tianxing. Whether it is the way of using the book, or now that Long Tianxing ignores Lu Xinyan and falls into the water and hugs others in public, it will not affect this matter. result.
There were gasps from below.
This Lu Xinyan had just made a fool of herself in public, and then someone asked Emperor Longde to marry him. She is still the No.1 in Emperor Longde's heart, the Dragon Family and Long Tianxing!
The young masters and ladies here, according to their age, many people have never met the Long family, but they have heard a lot of legends about the Long Taishi and the Long family from their elders.
Every time he talked about it, there was always a look of admiration and envy on his face, they couldn't forget it even if they wanted to!
After Long Tianxing returned to Beijing, everyone was told not to provoke Long Tianxing even if he offended the prince and princess. Save!
Now that Long Tianxing is asking for marriage in public, many ladies are envious and jealous!
With Lu Xinyan and Li's identity, marrying Long Tianxing is definitely a good marriage obtained through the blessings of three generations of family ancestors.
It stands to reason that at this time, Emperor Longde should follow Long Tianxing's request and ask the Queen Mother for her opinion symbolically, and then announce the marriage in public to complete the beautiful thing.
But Emperor Longde suddenly hesitated at this moment.
Half an hour ago, when he finished reviewing the memorial and was heading from Wende Hall to Qingfeng Hall, he suddenly heard a piece of news from Chang Chun. It was this news that shook Emperor Longde's original determination.
Coupled with the incident of falling into the water just now, Emperor Longde was shaken a little more.
Seeing Emperor Longde's sudden silence, Long Tianxing felt a bad feeling in his heart, and said again: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to betroth Princess Zhuzhu to you!"
"Your Majesty! I didn't even think about it before. I jumped into the water to save people and ruined the princess's innocence. I am willing to take responsibility for this matter and marry the princess as my wife! Please allow me!"
A clear and clear voice sounded from outside the hall, not too fast, not too slow, melodious and exciting.
When Lu Xinyan and Wu Zhen came over, they just heard these words.
Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo couldn't help but open their mouths wide to look at Lu Xinyan, but seeing that Lu Xinyan was not surprised at all, but relieved, they couldn't help but secretly marvel!
As soon as Xiao Yichen's words fell, everyone in the hall couldn't care less about losing their manners, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
Many ladies who came here with hope couldn't help crying bitterly when they heard Xiao Yichen's proposal of marriage.
In their hearts, Bai Yueguang, who was cold and noble, actually voluntarily married a woman who had divorced for the sake of saving lives!
This made them admire, feel sad and regret.
Why didn't they think of this trick?If they were the ones who fell into the water at that time, wouldn't they be the ones Xiao Yichen proposes to marry now?
But at the same time, they hated Lu Xinyan even more!
This shameless woman!To use such indecent means to snatch Xiao Shizi away!woo woo~
The ladies were beating their chests and stamping their feet, while the gentlemen were watching the show. There is no better and more exciting scene than two men competing for a woman!
Emperor Longde also showed a surprised expression on his face. He turned his head and asked the queen mother who was also surprised, "Queen mother, you have always loved the princess very much. Look at this..."
Although the Empress Dowager thought that she would make the mistake, she betrothed Lu Xinyan to Xiao Yichen, but when it really happened, thinking of the situation of Emperor Longde, she couldn't make up her mind, "Your Majesty, the Ai family thinks that these two people are suitable for Zhuzhu. You decide on your own, the Ai family has no objection!"
At this time, Long Tianxing said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, beauties are matched with heroes, and beauties are matched with heroes. I had a match with Xiao Shizi before and I didn't see the result. Why don't we have another match here in Qingfeng Palace. The winner is Princess Zhuzhu." Future husband!"
Emperor Longde said: "Xiao Aiqing, do you have any objection to Long Aiqing's proposal? The outcome between you will determine who is the princess' husband!"
Xiao Yichen cupped his hands, and said loudly: "I am willing to accept the challenge of Master Long!"
"The last time we discussed, Prince Xiao took a trick. Today, in front of the emperor, Prince Xiao, you have to really come."
"Master Long has any request, just say it, Xiao, I will accept it."
What a big tone!Long Tianxing shot a cold light from his long, narrow and cold eyes, "Then Long, just say it straight! In order to prevent people from being hurt, wooden swords will be used in this competition, and the agreed time is half an hour. If within half an hour, Xiao Shizi cannot get out If he retreats from the battle, then Xiao Shizi loses, otherwise, Longmou loses."
As long as he changed to a wooden sword, even if Xiao Yichen used his own vital points to head-to-head like last time, he didn't have to worry about the sword formation getting messed up.
Xiao Yichen's thin lips hooked lightly, "Xiao has no objection to Master Long's request."
Emperor Longde said: "Since the two lovers have reached an agreement, let me be a witness! Whoever wins, I will betroth the princess to whom!"
The hall was quickly emptied.
The eight men in black brought by Long Tianxing surrounded Xiao Yichen with wooden swords in their hands.
Xiao Yichen in the formation was dressed in white, with his hands behind his back, relaxed and at ease, with a handsome and cool face, like an exile.
"I thought it was Lord Long who personally fought against Xiao Shizi. It turned out that he used people around him. I heard that Xiao Shizi also has people with strong martial arts around him. Why didn't he use it?"
"I'm afraid I didn't bring it with me."
"It seems that Lord Long has long been prepared."
"Hey, eight fight one, who do you think will win?"
"I think it's Lord Long. Judging by the unanimous movements of those eight people, they are clearly trained masters in the martial arts world! Prince Xiao is good at killing enemies in battle, but if you want to fight against people in the martial arts world, then you have no advantage!"
"Do you think Xiao Shizi deliberately entered the battle on his own? If he loses, he can justifiably not marry the princess and preserve his reputation!"
"Bah! Do you think Mr. Xiao is as lowly as you?"
"Where did I go wrong? Where did I go wrong? Tell me clearly!"
Before it even started on the field, there was already a quarrel outside the field because of disagreements.
Chang Chun yelled, "Presumptuous! Don't make a noise in front of the emperor!" Only then did the few people who were about to fight were silenced.
Long Tianxing looked at Xiao Yichen who was calm in the field, and reminded maliciously, "Xiao Shizi, during the battle that day, Xiao Shizi almost broke the formation several times, and Long used this to realize the shortcomings of this sword formation. It has been adjusted daily, and its power is even greater than before! Xiao Shizi must be careful."
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen's calm face changed color, he put down his hands behind his back, half-closed his eyes, and concentrated on it.
Chang Chun asked: "Lord Long, Shizi Xiao, are you both ready?"
Long Tianxing nodded, "Long's side is ready."
Xiao Yichen didn't speak, but nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready.
Chang Chun cleared his throat, "Start!"
As soon as the words fell, the eight men in black in the field moved quickly, stabbing at Xiao Yichen with wooden swords in their hands.
I saw Xiao Yichen tapped his toes, and his body rose into the sky like a white crane, as if he wanted to break through the restriction.
Wow!The soaring figure is chic and graceful, and the ladies in the field couldn't help but exclaim like nympho!
The next moment, those eight people reacted quickly, and jumped up at the same time, like a cloud of black clouds, locking Xiao Yichen firmly in the sword array.
Hiss, be careful!The ladies covered their mouths and screamed in unison in their hearts.
Although they didn't want Xiao Yichen to win the game in their hearts, when they actually watched the game, no one wanted to see him lose!
At the beginning, everyone could barely see the people coming and going in the field, and there were bursts of exclamations from time to time.
In the end, the action on the field became faster and faster, and one could only see a mass of black and white, like dark clouds surrounding the moonlight, intertwined and wrestling together, time division and time integration, up and down.
"Oh my god, this is the Absolute Heaven Sword Formation!" the knowledgeable son exclaimed.
Immediately, people surrounded him and asked in a hurry: "What is the Tianjue Sword Formation?"
"It is a sword formation created by a strange man in the martial arts a hundred years ago. Eight people form a formation. Once deployed, the lethality is more than ten times that of one person fighting alone!"
"One person has increased by ten times, and there are eight people in the sword formation. Isn't this power increased by a hundred times? Then Xiao Shizi is now one against one hundred?"
"It's more than a pair of one hundred!" The young master said: "It is said that the sword formation created by the expert has never been broken by anyone. If you enter the formation, you will either die or be injured!"
Some people gasped, "So, Xiao Shizi will definitely lose?"
"Ninety-nine out of ten will lose, and if there is one more point, it depends on God's will!"
"For a reconciled princess, Lord Long actually sent such experts to fight. It seems that he really takes the princess seriously."
"Be careful! It's so dangerous, Shizi Xiao was almost stabbed!"
"This is just the beginning, Xiao Shizi has been in danger several times, it seems that the result..."
When everyone was watching the match with full attention, Wen Ruxiang quietly left behind the crowd, went outside, beckoned a court lady, and whispered a few words.
The palace maid left.
In Zhaoyang Palace, Wu Wan who received the news was so angry that she cursed, "That bastard, I felt that she had something wrong with Xiao Shizi early in the morning, so I targeted her everywhere, trying to kill her thoughts as soon as possible, but it's a pity that she was caught by her every time. Escape! Now she dares to set up Xiao Shizi, and wants her father to marry her! I must expose all of her dream of spring and autumn!"
Regardless of the maid's efforts to stop her, she was about to rush to Qingfeng Palace to stop what was about to happen.
The new grand maid knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly, "Princess, please think twice! The queen has ordered you not to leave this Zhaoyang Palace for half a step tonight, or all the slaves will be buried with you!"
The other court ladies also knelt on the ground, "Princess, please think twice!"
What does the death of a few servants have to do with her?Wu Wan kicked the palace maid away, "Go away!"
The big palace maid was kicked heavily in the chest by her, spitting out blood, the other palace maids were frightened, and no one dared to stop her.
Wu Wan quickly walked to the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, two swords in their scabbards obliquely blocked her, and a royal soldier on the left said: "Princess, the queen has ordered that you cannot be let out, please go back to the palace to rest!"
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will have your heads cut off immediately!" Wu Wan sternly roared.
The two imperial guards were unmoved, "I'm sorry princess, this is the queen's order, and the subordinates dare not disobey!"
"Okay, you guys, dare you disobey my order?" Wu Wan sneered twice, pulled out the sword of one of them, pointed at the two, "Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will kill you immediately!"
"Princess, without the queen's order, the subordinates cannot leave even if they die!"
Wu Wan trembled with anger, she didn't expect these two people to be so indifferent!
The Imperial Forest Army directly belongs to Emperor Longde, and no one in this palace can deal with them casually except Emperor Longde!
Wu Wan was angry, she was not so angry that she completely forgot the rules that the Queen had told her countless times!
What's more, she can order to kill without blinking an eye, but if she is really asked to kill herself, she doesn't have the courage.
Wu Wan's heart swayed, she retracted the sword, and put it on her shoulder, "Okay, you won't get out of the way even if you die, right? Then I won't kill you! But if you don't get out of the way, I will commit suicide in front of you !"
The faces of the two imperial guards changed.
The sword was still four or five inches away from Wu Wan's neck. It was obviously a pure threat, but even so, Wu Wan's daughter, the two royal guards, how dare they take half a risk?Not to mention suicide, even if they cut their fingers, they can't bear the responsibility!
One of the imperial guards persuaded him earnestly: "Princess, it's not that my subordinates don't let you leave, it's the queen's order..."
"Get out of the way!" Wu Wan moved the sword half a point, "Are you trying to force me to commit suicide and let your nine clans be buried with you?"
The two Yulin soldiers looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and had to step aside.
I thought in my heart that it's really unlucky, I'm going to eat the board again tomorrow!
In Qingfeng Hall, the competition is still in full swing.
The circle of black and the small piece of white have been in a stalemate, and it seems that no one has the upper hand.
A little smile appeared in Long Tianxing's narrow and cold eyes.
Most people can only see the black and white that turned into a phantom because it was too fast. As a master, he can clearly see every move on the field.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that his Heavenly Absolute Sword Formation has the upper hand.
It seems that this targeted adjustment of the sword array is very effective, half an hour is about to pass, and he hasn't seen Xiao Yichen once tried to break through.
Long Tianxing glanced in Lu Xinyan's direction, the smile in his eyes dissipated at that moment, turning into a colder chill.
Lu Xinyan stared at the field with full attention, her heart was tugging all the time, her mind was in a mess, she didn't have any thoughts, until Chang Chun shouted "It's time" and Xiao Yichen who was trapped in the formation didn't come out, she just came back God, and then he was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yichen... lost?
Then she is going to be married to Long Tianxing?
"Hey, what a pity! Xiao Shizi still lost in the end!"
"It's not a pity. Being able to support the Tianjue Sword Formation for half an hour is already a rare master in this Tianwu Kingdom! It seems that Xiao Shizi's kung fu really lives up to his reputation!"
"It's true, after all, Prince Xiao may not be willing to marry a peaceful princess! Although he lost, he let everyone see his character and strength. Even though he lost, he was honored!"
"Your Majesty, half an hour has passed, and Prince Xiao has not come out of the formation. Please issue an order from the Emperor. This time, Prince Xiao will lose, and Princess Zhuzhu's future husband will be a minister!" Long Tianxing said in a satisfied voice. sounded.
The other ladies in the hall sighed for a while, unhappy and happy at the same time, with very strange expressions.
What was unhappy was that Xiao Yichen lost, but what was happy was that Xiao Yichen didn't have to marry Lu Xinyan, and they had another chance.
The queen mother also sighed, it seems that the two are still not destined!Since God's will is so, it can only follow the sky.
Emperor Longde showed no emotion on his face. He looked at the nine people who hadn't stopped, and frowned slightly, "Long Aiqing, since the game has already been won or lost, let them retreat!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Long Tianxing bowed his hands in response, he turned around and shouted to the eight people: "Aren't you going to retreat?"
The eight people in the field didn't seem to hear it, and they continued to dance their long swords, airtight.
Long Tianxing's complexion changed slightly, he raised his voice, and shouted again: "Back off!"
If it was in the past, those eight people had already stopped when Long Tianxing issued the first command, no, when Chang Chun said the time was up.
But now, those eight people seem to be in some kind of confusion, and they don't respond to external voice commands.
When Long Tianxing shouted for the third time and retreated, and the eight people still didn't respond, even many young ladies who didn't know kung fu realized that something was wrong!
And just when Long Tianxing was about to speak out again, he saw a crescent-colored figure walking out of the black phantom as if strolling in a courtyard.
"Shizi Xiao has come out!" Someone cheered.
"It's a pity that it's a little bit short, otherwise we would be able to embrace the beauty." A young master secretly regretted it.
But more people focused on another point, "Hey, Xiao Shizi has come out, why are those eight people still fighting?"
"Yeah, why are you still fighting? Are you bewitched?"
The young masters and ladies who were eating melons all pointed and discussed in low voices.
After Xiao Yichen came out from the circle of black shadows, he walked up to Lu Xinyan, looked at her bewildered face, and said softly: "Princess, I kept you waiting, I'm coming out."
Lu Xinyan's nose was sore, she almost thought that she was going to be promised to Long Tianxing just now.
She held back her tears and glared at him, this guy, can't he come out a little earlier?She was so scared that her little heart almost stopped beating!
With a stare, Xiao Yichen's complexion was even whiter, but his thin lips were as red as gorgeous flowers.
"Are you okay?" Lu Xinyan asked lately.
Xiao Yichen smiled slightly, "Are you worried about me? I'm fine."
Who is worried about you, I am worried about myself, okay?Lu Xinyan pursed her mouth and did not speak. The moment she saw him, her heart finally returned to its place.
"Xiao Shizi! What did you do to my people?" Long Tianxing walked over with a dark face.
The eight people on the field seemed to be in a demonic state, and there was no one left, but as if there were still people, they kept fighting against the air in the middle.
"Master Long, the Tianjue Sword Formation is incomparably exquisite, not to mention half an hour, even if you give Xiao a few days, Xiao can't break it! And Lord Long, you have improved the Tianjue Sword Formation for Xiao, even more It is extraordinary, so Xiao never thought of breaking the Heavenly Absolute Sword Formation!" Xiao Yichen said.
Long Tianxing asked: "Since you can't break it, how did you get out? Did you drug my people? Let them lose their minds?"
Xiao Yichen said indifferently: "Lord Long, please be careful. As the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the second-rank General of the Fuguo, how could Xiao use such low-level methods?"
"Then what did you do to them?" Long Tianxing's eyes were tearing apart, and he was about to roar out.
He thinks that in martial arts, he can rank in the top [-], and the technique of mechanism formation can be ranked in the top three. He has never encountered a mechanism that he can't see through, or a formation that he can't break!But this person in front of him was under his nose, and he did not know what kind of means he used to trap his person in it without knowing it.
Xiao Yichen lightly hooked the corners of his lips, "With Master Long's ability, I must have guessed it! That's right! In the half hour just now, Xiao was not breaking the formation, but setting up the formation. Now the eight people are trapped in Xiao In the formation set up, compete with the phantoms in the formation! If the formation does not break, when it stops, it will be the time when the eight men collapse from exhaustion!"
"Lengge!" Long Tianxing called his personal bodyguard with a voice of hatred.
"Lord Long, don't say that Xiao didn't remind you, if you want your subordinates to forcefully enter and stop them, then you won't lose eight people, but nine people." Xiao Yichen said with a smile: "Because of this battle, Once an external force invades, the power will increase tenfold, and then both the people in the formation and the intruder will suffer!"
Long Tianxing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this time, he was proficient in formations, so he naturally understood that Xiao Yichen was not alarmist.
Once the Tianjue Sword Formation is deployed, its power will be several times or more than ten times that of the original, but because it must be fully concentrated and cannot be distracted, the energy consumption of each person in the sword formation is twice as much as usual. No way, Long Tianxing hasn't seen the slightest clue yet, he doesn't have the confidence to break through the formation and rescue the eight people before they are damaged.
It took him ten years to find these eight people. Once they were damaged, he would lose at least one-third of Long Tianxing's strength.
At this time, Long Tianxing exuded a cold aura all over his body, and the temperature in Qingfeng Hall dropped several points. He asked bitterly, "Xiao Shizi, what do you want?"
Facing Long Tianxing's strong and cold aura, Xiao Yichen remained unmoved, and slowly said: "It's very simple, as long as Lord Long admits that you lost this competition, and give up letting the emperor marry you to the princess, Xiao Yichen will marry you." So-and-so, the formation was scattered!"
Are the eight people who spent ten years more important, or one woman?For Long Tianxing, the answer is self-evident!
Anyway, what should he do in the future, and what will he do again!
The only thing that made Long Tianxing breathless was that he, who had never fallen before, fell twice in a row at the hands of a junior!
"This account, Long has written it down!" He glanced coldly at Xiao Yichen, turned around and shouted to Emperor Longde: "Your Majesty, in the competition just now, Prince Xiao won, and I admit defeat! Your Majesty, please come down!" The decree is to betroth Princess Zhuzhu to Shizi Xiao as his wife!"
At the same time, Xiao Yichen quickly stepped forward to undo the formation, the eight people holding wooden swords finally stopped, sweating profusely, their eyes were confused, it seemed that they didn't know what happened.
At this time, the hall was quiet, not only everyone in the hall heard Long Tianxing's words, but also Wu Wan who rushed over and was a few meters away from Qingfeng Hall.
"Can't!"
Wu Wan roared, and in desperation, she swung the sword she had just used to threaten the Imperial Forest Army, chopped off a red lantern with one sword, turned it upside down, and the red lantern immediately burst into flames.
She threw it towards Qingfeng Hall vigorously, trying to attract the attention of Emperor Longde in the hall.
One after another, and soon, the burning lanterns accidentally hit the curtain of Qingfeng Hall, and the small flames turned into big flames!
"Ah! It's water!" Wen Ruxiang screamed, and soon more girls started screaming, and the hall suddenly became chaotic.
"Escort!" Chang Chun screamed, and hundreds of imperial guards quickly entered Qingfeng Hall, surrounding the Empress Dowager Longde and others.
Xiao Yichen immediately retreated to Lu Xinyan's side, grabbed her tightly, and hugged her tightly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
At the same time, the queen, who had been silent all this time, stood up in shock, and quickly ordered people to put out the fire, "Come on, put out the fire!"
This banquet was hosted by her, if anything happened, she would be the first person responsible!
The clever little eunuchs quickly brought several buckets of water. The fire was discovered early, and the fire was extinguished in a short while due to the large number of people.
Looking at the clouds of thick smoke and the burnt palace lanterns beyond recognition, Emperor Longde was so angry that his face turned blue, "It's unreasonable, quick check, who is so courageous!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Before a small leader of the Imperial Forest Army left, Wu Wan arrived panting with a sword in one hand and a palace lantern in the other.
Who set the fire, no need to investigate, the answer is already clear at a glance.
"Chang Ping!" The queen's heart that had just come down quickly rose to her throat, and she sternly shouted: "I asked you to shut the door and think about your mistakes, why did you come out without permission? Someone, take the princess back immediately, and keep it under strict supervision!"
"Father!" Wu Wan threw the sword and lantern in her hand, and knelt down on the ground, "Father, Changping is happy with Prince Xiao, please marry Changping!"
Out of the corner of the queen's eyes, she saw Emperor Longde who was trembling with anger, and she was so startled that she immediately walked up to Wu Wan from above, and twisted Wu Wan's arm fiercely, "Chang Ping, shut up for me! As a princess of a country , Marriage matters are decided by the emperor for you, go back to your Zhaoyang Palace!"
Wu Wanlai couldn't get up on the ground, and said stubbornly: "No! Grandmother, father, queen, if you don't agree with Changping, Changping won't be able to kneel!"
The queen gasped, and before she had time to say anything, she heard Emperor Longde's cold voice coming from the seat, "Do you like to kneel here? Well, I do as you wish. Since you like to kneel, then you can always kneel here." This!"
"Your Majesty!" The Empress was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Chang Ping has been talking nonsense for the past two days because he has been feeling unwell. Please calm down, Your Majesty, and spare Chang Ping this time!"
Emperor Longde didn't even look at the two people on the ground, "Xiao Yichen, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the general of the Fuguo, is both intelligent and brave. A match made in heaven, I hereby bestow this marriage, and the Heavenly Supervisor will choose an auspicious day to get married!"
Emperor Longde was still hesitant at first, but now that Wu Wan made a fuss, he simply cut off her thoughts, so as not to cause trouble again!
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Xiao Yichen quickly reacted, and pulled Lu Xinyan to his knees to thank him, followed by countless congratulations.
Wu Wan collapsed to the ground.
"Congratulations, Shizi Xiao!" Long Tianxing thanked with a sullen face.
Xiao Yichen cupped his hands as a gift in return.
"Uncle!" A familiar clear voice sounded.
uncle?Suddenly something exploded in Lu Xinyan's mind.
Wen Ruxiang came over and pulled Long Tianxing's sleeve affectionately, "Uncle, Ruxiang has been looking for you for a long time."
Long Tianxing's face quickly turned into pampering, "Do you need to find uncle? Go, go over there and tell uncle."
"Yes, uncle." Wen Ruxiang smiled mischievously, and the two left together.
Lu Xinyan stared at the backs of the two leaving, her face pale, "Xiao Shizi, I know why Master Long married me!"
-
When Lin Ruyue first married and came to Ankangbo Mansion, she once went to Qingyan Temple to offer incense, met several wives, and had a good chat.
One of them is Wen Ruxiang's mother, Mrs. Wen San, and the other is Mrs. Yao Er from the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Although Lin Ruyue's status is lower than the two of them, but she is intelligent and has an extraordinary temperament. She and Mrs. Yao are very congenial, and occasionally exchange letters, or make an appointment to go to incense together.
Later, the three became pregnant one after another. Mrs. Wen gave birth to Wen Ruxiang in August, Lin Ruyue gave birth to Lu Xinyan in October, and Mrs. Yao gave birth to Yao Xue in March of the following year.
The three wives have a good relationship. Lu Xinyan, Wen Ruxiang and Yao Xue have had a lot of contact since they were young, and their relationship is not bad.
When Lu Xinyan and Wen Ruxiang were nine years old, that is, seven years ago, one day, the two of them, Yao Xue, who was eight years old, and several other friends secretly made an appointment to go to Qingyan Temple to play together, but on the way back they encountered bandits .
Wen Ruxiang is the oldest, with a generous and gentle personality, and has always been the one who has the most say among the few people. Therefore, when she suggested that everyone spread out to distract the bandits, no one objected.
Lu Xinyan and Yao Xue originally hid separately, but they accidentally ran into each other and were discovered by bandits. They held hands and ran as hard as they could. Later, Lu Xinyan accidentally fell from the hillside and passed out.
When he woke up, he was already in the Huanxi Courtyard of Ankangbo Mansion, beside the bed were Lin Ruyue who was weeping, and Lu Congyuan who was furious.
At that time, she learned that Yao Xue was taken away by bandits, and Wen Ruxiang and others accused her, saying that she pushed Yao Xue out for her own life, and let bandits take Yao Xue away.
Regardless of Lu Xinyan just waking up, Lu Congyuan picked her up from the bed, dragged her to Xuanpinghou Mansion, beat her half to death in front of Master Yao and Mrs. Yao Er, Lin Ruyue desperately protected her , and also suffered a lot of beatings, Mrs. Yao fainted from crying, Yao's house was in chaos, and Lu Congyuan stopped.
Later, Lu Xinyan was raised on the bed for nearly three months. Later, a little sister who was with Qingyan Temple at that time, before the whole family moved out of the capital, secretly asked Lu Xinyan to meet and told her that when the bandits came, Wen Ruxiang asked her They ran away, but they were actually using them as bait to lure the bandits away so that they could survive!As for the fact that Lu Xinyan betrayed Yao Xue, no one actually saw it. It was Wen Ruxiang who forced them to say this, saying that if they didn't say that, once the Xuanping Hou Mansion and Yao Xue's ancestral family started a fire, all their families would suffer. !They had to agree.
Angrily, Lu Xinyan went to find Wen Ruxiang to settle the score, but when she saw Wen Ruxiang was with Yao Xue's uncle, she called that person uncle affectionately, just like Yao Xue did back then, sweet and crisp.
And the person called uncle is Long Tianxing!
Mrs. Yao Er is the youngest daughter of Taishi Yao's younger brother, two years older than Long Tianxing.
When Long Tianxing was born, many of his brothers and sisters even had children, so Long Tianxing was not like a younger brother to them, but more like a son or nephew.
Those nephews who are about the same size as him, because Long Tianxing is too smart, are always praised as their role models, coupled with their status as elders, no one wants to play with him, so Long Tianxing and his elders The two-year-old cousin, Long Xin, has become a best friend.
Long Tianxing has a dark personality, but Long Xin is gentle and kind, and can tolerate all of Long Tianxing's bad tempers. The relationship between the two is closer than that of siblings.
Because the relationship between the two was so good, Yao Xue should have called him cousin, but at Long Tianxing's request, she called him uncle directly.
Yao Xue's appearance and character are similar to Mrs. Yao's. She is pure and kind, and Long Tianxing is very fond of her. Even if Yao Xue wants the moon in the sky, I'm afraid he will find a way to pick it off and give it to her.So Yao Xue disappeared, apart from Master Yao and Mrs. Yao, the one who was most annoyed and saddened was Long Tianxing.
This day, when Long Tianxing saw the culprit who caused Yao Xue's disappearance, he rushed up with scarlet eyes, and directly grabbed Lu Xinyan's neck. With that strength, her neck could be broken in the next moment.
Lu Xinyan was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder were torn apart, before she lost consciousness, she vaguely heard a man named Mo Shang say: "Master Long, have you forgotten the agreement with him?"
After that, Lu Xinyan didn't know anything.
Because this memory was too terrifying, when Lu Xinyan woke up, she subconsciously forgot that she had gone to Wen Ruxiang, met Long Tianxing, and sealed Long Tianxing's appearance in her memory.
Now that Wen Ruxiang called uncle, it brought back dusty memories in her, and the unbearable fear of the original owner when she was young surged in her heart at the same time.
Lu Xin's face was as white as paper, Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand to support her, with an anxious expression on his face, "Princess, what's wrong with you? Just bear with it, I'll take you to find Bai Zhi!"
"I'm fine!" Lu Xinyan stopped him, letting the sense of terror flow slowly in her body, and then slowly overflowing her body bit by bit as she took a deep breath.
The blood on his face gradually returned, "Xiao Shizi, I know why Lord Long married me! He wants to avenge Ah Xue!"
"Who is Ah Xue?" Seven years ago, Xiao Yichen was 12 years old, and he was concentrating on practicing martial arts with his master in the mountains. He knew little about the affairs of the capital. After he returned to Beijing, no one mentioned this matter again.
Lu Xinyan told Xiao Yichen about the changes back then, "Master Long knew who I was early on. When I was in Nanshan that day, I once said that he didn't look like a person from the capital. He asked me if I looked strange? It meant that he had recognized me, and even more so. What's more..."
Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice: "What's more, he knew you were going to Nanshan, and deliberately went to Nanshan to block you!"
Lu Xinyan nodded, "Otherwise, I really can't figure out why it's such a coincidence!"
"Long Tianxing returned to Beijing suddenly. I thought it was the Long family's decision to come back. Now it seems that it may just be Long Tianxing's personal act of revenge!"
Lu Xinyan said: "You're right, but I don't understand why he didn't seek revenge on me for so many years, but why did he show up at this time?"
Xiao Yichen took a deep look at her, "Because before this, in the eyes of others, you didn't live well! Your grandmother and father didn't like your mother and daughter, and you were bullied in the house; your mother died young, and you died at the age of 13. Entering the Guangping Marquis’ Mansion to live under the fence; getting married at sixteen, Miyata hates you and doesn’t want to touch you; after half a year of marriage, they are forced to reconcile and return to the mansion! To hate someone, sometimes you don’t have to kill her, but watch her live If you suffer, you will be satisfied in your heart! But now, with your own ability, you are loved by the Queen Mother and Princess Chang'an, and you have made great contributions to saving your family, and you have been awarded the title of princess. How can Long Tianxing sit still when he finds out about it?"
"You're right!" After Lu Xinyan thought about it, she was afraid for a while, "There is no evidence for what happened back then, Master Long always believed that I was the one who harmed Axue! This time, the plan to ask me to marry me and go back to torture me didn't work. I will think of other ways to take revenge on me."
With Long Tianxing's strength, she can't even match his little finger.
Xiao Yichen supported her shoulders, and looked into her eyes firmly, "Don't be afraid, with me here, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest."
Yes, with this thick thigh in front of her, what is she afraid of?Anyway, the emperor had granted them a marriage just now, and they will be a grasshopper on a boat from now on, of course he has to protect her!
Lu Xinyan smiled brightly, all the worries in her eyes disappeared, "With you here, I'm not afraid!"
The two were whispering here, while Emperor Longde was dealing with Wu Wan and Zhu Zhiwei's affairs over there.
After Zhu Zhiwei rode twenty, she was sent back to Zhu's mansion to be disciplined by the Zhu family's Yan family.
Wu Wan was fined to kneel in Qingfeng Hall, and was not allowed to get up without Emperor Longde's permission. The queen was still begging bitterly, but Emperor Longde said angrily, "What a good daughter you taught! Don't care about your shame, and openly expose her in the palace." Arson! Both my mother and I are here, if something goes wrong, can she bear the responsibility? Queen, if you say one more word, I will immediately ask my mother to hold a clan meeting and abolish you, the queen!"
As soon as these words came out, the queen was so frightened that she immediately fell silent.
"The emperor drives Wende Palace!"
"Send off the emperor!" Everyone knelt on the ground.
Emperor Longde left in a huff. He had just walked to the entrance of Qingfeng Hall when he saw Li Yu who was kneeling there dressed up and dejected. He suddenly stopped, "Li Yu, the grandson of General Li, right? You were Didn't you ask me to marry you?"
Li Yu regained his energy suddenly, and said with full strength: "Yes, Your Majesty! I am willing to ask the Emperor to marry you, Gong Jin, the fourth girl of Guangping Marquis Palace!"
He looked at Emperor Longde eagerly. Emperor Longde was originally very angry, but seeing his longing expression, he couldn't help laughing.
This person is good-looking, so he has an advantage!
"Okay, I agree, look at your eagerness! Let Qin Tianjian choose a date to get married!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Congratulations to your Majesty! Go slowly, Your Majesty! Your Majesty Jin'an! Long live your Majesty!" Li Yu was overjoyed and didn't know what to do.
"Stinky boy!" Emperor Longde cursed with a smile, and kicked him, "Don't let your mother make trouble, or I will take it back!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yu patted his chest very loudly.
Today's banquet was originally for Xiao Yichen's marriage, but now that the marriage was booked, the banquet broke up quickly.
Thanks to eleine1989 and Qingwu Feiyang for their monthly tickets!Thank you for the recommendation tickets from the little cuties in the book city!
(End of this chapter)
Wu Zhen had recovered at this time, upon hearing this, she immediately opened her mouth to explain: "It was Zhu Zhiwei who pushed the princess into the water, I saw it with my own eyes! Prince Xiao was not called by the princess, it must be some passing maid See, I yelled out because I was afraid of accidents, I can testify to this point!"
Only then did everyone realize that Wu Zhen was also there, and quickly saluted, "I've seen Princess Chang'an!"
"Okay, don't be too polite, let's leave quickly!" Wu Zhen said: "Come here, bring two cloaks and send the Princess and Prince Xiao back to their rooms to change their clothes!"
A few court ladies just took orders to leave, and the queen mother is late.
Not only the Empress Dowager, but also the Emperor Longde and the Empress, "See the Emperor, see the Empress Dowager, and see the Empress Dowager!"
At this moment, Lu Xinyan was burying her face in Xiao Yichen's neck, looking like no one saw anyone.
Her hands and feet were wrapped around Xiao Yichen's body, and Xiao Yichen's arm wrapped around her waist in the water to prevent her from sliding down with all her strength.
However, the water in this hot spring is as deep as chest, and the color of the water is not clear. No one knows what's going on below.
Seeing the two hugging each other in the hot spring pool, Emperor Longde's expression was very bad. Originally, he had planned to betroth Lu Xinyan to Long Tianxing, but now Lu Xinyan hugged other men in the hot spring in a large crowd. Losing his reputation, how can he give him a marriage?
Thinking of the imminent entrustment of the Negative Dragon family, Emperor Longde had a headache and asked very unhappy, "What's going on?"
Wu Zhen hurriedly recounted what she saw before.
"This is a good daughter brought up by the Zhu family!" Emperor Longde snorted coldly and walked away, "It's all gone!"
Originally, he was a little bit suspicious, whether Lu Xinyan deliberately designed Xiao Yichen, but now that Wu Zhen explained, the doubts in his heart immediately dissipated.
As soon as Emperor Longde left, the empress followed, and the empress dowager looked at the two in the pool with complicated eyes, and then followed.
Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo, Bai Zhi, Wu Sheng and Li Yu.
Wu Sheng's expression was a little subtle, and the rest of the people were all worried.
"Xiao Shizi, you can let go now." Lu Xinyan leaned on his shoulder and whispered.
The shallow and warm breath and the soft body made Xiao Yichen stiff all over, "Didn't the princess say that you sprained your ankle? I'll carry you up!"
"...it's all right now."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Yichen hugged her horizontally, "Do all the tricks!"
Lu Xinyan blinked her bright eyes, "I didn't jump down!" Although if Zhu Zhiwei didn't push her, she would jump down too.
"Did I say you jumped off by yourself?" Someone's lips curled up.
Lu Xinyan choked, and secretly scolded herself for being stupid, isn't that just playing on her own? "I didn't jump down anyway." She muttered, refusing to admit it.
Someone hummed, and the corners of his lips became more and more curved.
It took only a moment to get out of the water to the shore, and before the coldness spread all over her body, Lu Xinyan was already wrapped in a big cloak.
Wu Zhen thanked and said: "Xiao Shizi, thank you, Qing Ruo and I take Zhuzhu to change clothes first, Xiao Shizi, you also hurry to change clothes, so as not to catch a cold."
Xiao Yichen cupped his hands and said: "Princess, you don't need to thank me, this is Xiao's internal affairs!" Of course it is an internal affair to save his wife.
Wu Zhen nodded before she had time to think, she led the way, Bai Zhi and Yan Qingruo supported Lu Xinyan on the left and right, and they left quickly.
"Xiao Shizi, are you alright?" Li Yu asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'll go change my clothes first." He used to be General Zuo Lang of the Imperial Forest Army, he was familiar with every place in the palace, so he left without anyone leading the way.
"Third prince, let's go back to Qingfeng Palace." Li Yu called out, but found Wu Sheng was stunned, and called out again, "Third prince?"
Only then did Wu Sheng come to his senses, with a strange voice, "Oh, let's go."
In Qingfeng Palace, because of the arrival of Emperor Longde, it was no longer as casual and natural as before. Everyone sat in their own seats and did not dare to move around at will, only dared to talk to those sitting around.
Emperor Longde's complexion was not good at this time.
Long Tianxing, who was sitting not far from his head, looked even worse.
Long Tianxing hadn't personally seen what happened in the hot spring, but he had heard a lot about it.
No man, after hearing such rumors, will not feel a little turmoil in his heart, especially the person at the center of the rumors is Lu Xinyan who is about to marry him!
Although he asked for a marriage for a different purpose, he couldn't ignore the face of the Long family.
Long Tianxing's face became more and more hostile, and after several changes, he finally made up his mind.
Marry, no matter what, we must marry her back first!
The Empress Dowager glanced at Emperor Longde a few times, but hesitated to speak.
She knew that Emperor Longde was Xiao Yichen's default candidate for the concubine, and she also knew that Emperor Longde intended to give Lu Xinyan to Long Tianxing, but now, Lu Xinyan fell into the water and Xiao Yichen rescued her. Accidentally, they got mixed up!
Xiao Yichen is a man, so he can gain the reputation of being a hero and saving the beauty, but Lu Xinyan's reputation will be completely ruined!
If Emperor Longde's previous plan is still followed, I'm afraid Lu Xinyan's life will not be easy in the future!
But the Queen Mother also understands Emperor Longde's difficulties!
The Empress Dowager is different from the late Emperor and Emperor Longde. She doesn't like the Long family, which once dominated the government and had too much influence on the late Emperor. In addition, she doesn't have that deep affection for the Empress and Wu Zhe's brothers and sisters.
However, Emperor Longde needs the Long family, and needs the Long family to contain the momentum of the Zhen Guo government and contain Ge Taishi's faction.
So even though the Empress Dowager thought she would make the mistake or make the mistake and betrothed Lu Xinyan to Xiao Yichen, she didn't say anything after all!
At this time, Long Tianxing stood up, cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "My Majesty, since I saw the heroic appearance of Princess Zhuzhu four days ago, I have fallen in love with her at first sight, thinking about her day and night, and never forgetting her. Your Majesty, betroth Princess Zhuzhu to my minister!"
This was originally an agreement between Emperor Longde and Long Tianxing. Whether it is the way of using the book, or now that Long Tianxing ignores Lu Xinyan and falls into the water and hugs others in public, it will not affect this matter. result.
There were gasps from below.
This Lu Xinyan had just made a fool of herself in public, and then someone asked Emperor Longde to marry him. She is still the No.1 in Emperor Longde's heart, the Dragon Family and Long Tianxing!
The young masters and ladies here, according to their age, many people have never met the Long family, but they have heard a lot of legends about the Long Taishi and the Long family from their elders.
Every time he talked about it, there was always a look of admiration and envy on his face, they couldn't forget it even if they wanted to!
After Long Tianxing returned to Beijing, everyone was told not to provoke Long Tianxing even if he offended the prince and princess. Save!
Now that Long Tianxing is asking for marriage in public, many ladies are envious and jealous!
With Lu Xinyan and Li's identity, marrying Long Tianxing is definitely a good marriage obtained through the blessings of three generations of family ancestors.
It stands to reason that at this time, Emperor Longde should follow Long Tianxing's request and ask the Queen Mother for her opinion symbolically, and then announce the marriage in public to complete the beautiful thing.
But Emperor Longde suddenly hesitated at this moment.
Half an hour ago, when he finished reviewing the memorial and was heading from Wende Hall to Qingfeng Hall, he suddenly heard a piece of news from Chang Chun. It was this news that shook Emperor Longde's original determination.
Coupled with the incident of falling into the water just now, Emperor Longde was shaken a little more.
Seeing Emperor Longde's sudden silence, Long Tianxing felt a bad feeling in his heart, and said again: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to betroth Princess Zhuzhu to you!"
"Your Majesty! I didn't even think about it before. I jumped into the water to save people and ruined the princess's innocence. I am willing to take responsibility for this matter and marry the princess as my wife! Please allow me!"
A clear and clear voice sounded from outside the hall, not too fast, not too slow, melodious and exciting.
When Lu Xinyan and Wu Zhen came over, they just heard these words.
Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo couldn't help but open their mouths wide to look at Lu Xinyan, but seeing that Lu Xinyan was not surprised at all, but relieved, they couldn't help but secretly marvel!
As soon as Xiao Yichen's words fell, everyone in the hall couldn't care less about losing their manners, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
Many ladies who came here with hope couldn't help crying bitterly when they heard Xiao Yichen's proposal of marriage.
In their hearts, Bai Yueguang, who was cold and noble, actually voluntarily married a woman who had divorced for the sake of saving lives!
This made them admire, feel sad and regret.
Why didn't they think of this trick?If they were the ones who fell into the water at that time, wouldn't they be the ones Xiao Yichen proposes to marry now?
But at the same time, they hated Lu Xinyan even more!
This shameless woman!To use such indecent means to snatch Xiao Shizi away!woo woo~
The ladies were beating their chests and stamping their feet, while the gentlemen were watching the show. There is no better and more exciting scene than two men competing for a woman!
Emperor Longde also showed a surprised expression on his face. He turned his head and asked the queen mother who was also surprised, "Queen mother, you have always loved the princess very much. Look at this..."
Although the Empress Dowager thought that she would make the mistake, she betrothed Lu Xinyan to Xiao Yichen, but when it really happened, thinking of the situation of Emperor Longde, she couldn't make up her mind, "Your Majesty, the Ai family thinks that these two people are suitable for Zhuzhu. You decide on your own, the Ai family has no objection!"
At this time, Long Tianxing said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, beauties are matched with heroes, and beauties are matched with heroes. I had a match with Xiao Shizi before and I didn't see the result. Why don't we have another match here in Qingfeng Palace. The winner is Princess Zhuzhu." Future husband!"
Emperor Longde said: "Xiao Aiqing, do you have any objection to Long Aiqing's proposal? The outcome between you will determine who is the princess' husband!"
Xiao Yichen cupped his hands, and said loudly: "I am willing to accept the challenge of Master Long!"
"The last time we discussed, Prince Xiao took a trick. Today, in front of the emperor, Prince Xiao, you have to really come."
"Master Long has any request, just say it, Xiao, I will accept it."
What a big tone!Long Tianxing shot a cold light from his long, narrow and cold eyes, "Then Long, just say it straight! In order to prevent people from being hurt, wooden swords will be used in this competition, and the agreed time is half an hour. If within half an hour, Xiao Shizi cannot get out If he retreats from the battle, then Xiao Shizi loses, otherwise, Longmou loses."
As long as he changed to a wooden sword, even if Xiao Yichen used his own vital points to head-to-head like last time, he didn't have to worry about the sword formation getting messed up.
Xiao Yichen's thin lips hooked lightly, "Xiao has no objection to Master Long's request."
Emperor Longde said: "Since the two lovers have reached an agreement, let me be a witness! Whoever wins, I will betroth the princess to whom!"
The hall was quickly emptied.
The eight men in black brought by Long Tianxing surrounded Xiao Yichen with wooden swords in their hands.
Xiao Yichen in the formation was dressed in white, with his hands behind his back, relaxed and at ease, with a handsome and cool face, like an exile.
"I thought it was Lord Long who personally fought against Xiao Shizi. It turned out that he used people around him. I heard that Xiao Shizi also has people with strong martial arts around him. Why didn't he use it?"
"I'm afraid I didn't bring it with me."
"It seems that Lord Long has long been prepared."
"Hey, eight fight one, who do you think will win?"
"I think it's Lord Long. Judging by the unanimous movements of those eight people, they are clearly trained masters in the martial arts world! Prince Xiao is good at killing enemies in battle, but if you want to fight against people in the martial arts world, then you have no advantage!"
"Do you think Xiao Shizi deliberately entered the battle on his own? If he loses, he can justifiably not marry the princess and preserve his reputation!"
"Bah! Do you think Mr. Xiao is as lowly as you?"
"Where did I go wrong? Where did I go wrong? Tell me clearly!"
Before it even started on the field, there was already a quarrel outside the field because of disagreements.
Chang Chun yelled, "Presumptuous! Don't make a noise in front of the emperor!" Only then did the few people who were about to fight were silenced.
Long Tianxing looked at Xiao Yichen who was calm in the field, and reminded maliciously, "Xiao Shizi, during the battle that day, Xiao Shizi almost broke the formation several times, and Long used this to realize the shortcomings of this sword formation. It has been adjusted daily, and its power is even greater than before! Xiao Shizi must be careful."
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen's calm face changed color, he put down his hands behind his back, half-closed his eyes, and concentrated on it.
Chang Chun asked: "Lord Long, Shizi Xiao, are you both ready?"
Long Tianxing nodded, "Long's side is ready."
Xiao Yichen didn't speak, but nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready.
Chang Chun cleared his throat, "Start!"
As soon as the words fell, the eight men in black in the field moved quickly, stabbing at Xiao Yichen with wooden swords in their hands.
I saw Xiao Yichen tapped his toes, and his body rose into the sky like a white crane, as if he wanted to break through the restriction.
Wow!The soaring figure is chic and graceful, and the ladies in the field couldn't help but exclaim like nympho!
The next moment, those eight people reacted quickly, and jumped up at the same time, like a cloud of black clouds, locking Xiao Yichen firmly in the sword array.
Hiss, be careful!The ladies covered their mouths and screamed in unison in their hearts.
Although they didn't want Xiao Yichen to win the game in their hearts, when they actually watched the game, no one wanted to see him lose!
At the beginning, everyone could barely see the people coming and going in the field, and there were bursts of exclamations from time to time.
In the end, the action on the field became faster and faster, and one could only see a mass of black and white, like dark clouds surrounding the moonlight, intertwined and wrestling together, time division and time integration, up and down.
"Oh my god, this is the Absolute Heaven Sword Formation!" the knowledgeable son exclaimed.
Immediately, people surrounded him and asked in a hurry: "What is the Tianjue Sword Formation?"
"It is a sword formation created by a strange man in the martial arts a hundred years ago. Eight people form a formation. Once deployed, the lethality is more than ten times that of one person fighting alone!"
"One person has increased by ten times, and there are eight people in the sword formation. Isn't this power increased by a hundred times? Then Xiao Shizi is now one against one hundred?"
"It's more than a pair of one hundred!" The young master said: "It is said that the sword formation created by the expert has never been broken by anyone. If you enter the formation, you will either die or be injured!"
Some people gasped, "So, Xiao Shizi will definitely lose?"
"Ninety-nine out of ten will lose, and if there is one more point, it depends on God's will!"
"For a reconciled princess, Lord Long actually sent such experts to fight. It seems that he really takes the princess seriously."
"Be careful! It's so dangerous, Shizi Xiao was almost stabbed!"
"This is just the beginning, Xiao Shizi has been in danger several times, it seems that the result..."
When everyone was watching the match with full attention, Wen Ruxiang quietly left behind the crowd, went outside, beckoned a court lady, and whispered a few words.
The palace maid left.
In Zhaoyang Palace, Wu Wan who received the news was so angry that she cursed, "That bastard, I felt that she had something wrong with Xiao Shizi early in the morning, so I targeted her everywhere, trying to kill her thoughts as soon as possible, but it's a pity that she was caught by her every time. Escape! Now she dares to set up Xiao Shizi, and wants her father to marry her! I must expose all of her dream of spring and autumn!"
Regardless of the maid's efforts to stop her, she was about to rush to Qingfeng Palace to stop what was about to happen.
The new grand maid knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly, "Princess, please think twice! The queen has ordered you not to leave this Zhaoyang Palace for half a step tonight, or all the slaves will be buried with you!"
The other court ladies also knelt on the ground, "Princess, please think twice!"
What does the death of a few servants have to do with her?Wu Wan kicked the palace maid away, "Go away!"
The big palace maid was kicked heavily in the chest by her, spitting out blood, the other palace maids were frightened, and no one dared to stop her.
Wu Wan quickly walked to the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, two swords in their scabbards obliquely blocked her, and a royal soldier on the left said: "Princess, the queen has ordered that you cannot be let out, please go back to the palace to rest!"
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will have your heads cut off immediately!" Wu Wan sternly roared.
The two imperial guards were unmoved, "I'm sorry princess, this is the queen's order, and the subordinates dare not disobey!"
"Okay, you guys, dare you disobey my order?" Wu Wan sneered twice, pulled out the sword of one of them, pointed at the two, "Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will kill you immediately!"
"Princess, without the queen's order, the subordinates cannot leave even if they die!"
Wu Wan trembled with anger, she didn't expect these two people to be so indifferent!
The Imperial Forest Army directly belongs to Emperor Longde, and no one in this palace can deal with them casually except Emperor Longde!
Wu Wan was angry, she was not so angry that she completely forgot the rules that the Queen had told her countless times!
What's more, she can order to kill without blinking an eye, but if she is really asked to kill herself, she doesn't have the courage.
Wu Wan's heart swayed, she retracted the sword, and put it on her shoulder, "Okay, you won't get out of the way even if you die, right? Then I won't kill you! But if you don't get out of the way, I will commit suicide in front of you !"
The faces of the two imperial guards changed.
The sword was still four or five inches away from Wu Wan's neck. It was obviously a pure threat, but even so, Wu Wan's daughter, the two royal guards, how dare they take half a risk?Not to mention suicide, even if they cut their fingers, they can't bear the responsibility!
One of the imperial guards persuaded him earnestly: "Princess, it's not that my subordinates don't let you leave, it's the queen's order..."
"Get out of the way!" Wu Wan moved the sword half a point, "Are you trying to force me to commit suicide and let your nine clans be buried with you?"
The two Yulin soldiers looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and had to step aside.
I thought in my heart that it's really unlucky, I'm going to eat the board again tomorrow!
In Qingfeng Hall, the competition is still in full swing.
The circle of black and the small piece of white have been in a stalemate, and it seems that no one has the upper hand.
A little smile appeared in Long Tianxing's narrow and cold eyes.
Most people can only see the black and white that turned into a phantom because it was too fast. As a master, he can clearly see every move on the field.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that his Heavenly Absolute Sword Formation has the upper hand.
It seems that this targeted adjustment of the sword array is very effective, half an hour is about to pass, and he hasn't seen Xiao Yichen once tried to break through.
Long Tianxing glanced in Lu Xinyan's direction, the smile in his eyes dissipated at that moment, turning into a colder chill.
Lu Xinyan stared at the field with full attention, her heart was tugging all the time, her mind was in a mess, she didn't have any thoughts, until Chang Chun shouted "It's time" and Xiao Yichen who was trapped in the formation didn't come out, she just came back God, and then he was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yichen... lost?
Then she is going to be married to Long Tianxing?
"Hey, what a pity! Xiao Shizi still lost in the end!"
"It's not a pity. Being able to support the Tianjue Sword Formation for half an hour is already a rare master in this Tianwu Kingdom! It seems that Xiao Shizi's kung fu really lives up to his reputation!"
"It's true, after all, Prince Xiao may not be willing to marry a peaceful princess! Although he lost, he let everyone see his character and strength. Even though he lost, he was honored!"
"Your Majesty, half an hour has passed, and Prince Xiao has not come out of the formation. Please issue an order from the Emperor. This time, Prince Xiao will lose, and Princess Zhuzhu's future husband will be a minister!" Long Tianxing said in a satisfied voice. sounded.
The other ladies in the hall sighed for a while, unhappy and happy at the same time, with very strange expressions.
What was unhappy was that Xiao Yichen lost, but what was happy was that Xiao Yichen didn't have to marry Lu Xinyan, and they had another chance.
The queen mother also sighed, it seems that the two are still not destined!Since God's will is so, it can only follow the sky.
Emperor Longde showed no emotion on his face. He looked at the nine people who hadn't stopped, and frowned slightly, "Long Aiqing, since the game has already been won or lost, let them retreat!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Long Tianxing bowed his hands in response, he turned around and shouted to the eight people: "Aren't you going to retreat?"
The eight people in the field didn't seem to hear it, and they continued to dance their long swords, airtight.
Long Tianxing's complexion changed slightly, he raised his voice, and shouted again: "Back off!"
If it was in the past, those eight people had already stopped when Long Tianxing issued the first command, no, when Chang Chun said the time was up.
But now, those eight people seem to be in some kind of confusion, and they don't respond to external voice commands.
When Long Tianxing shouted for the third time and retreated, and the eight people still didn't respond, even many young ladies who didn't know kung fu realized that something was wrong!
And just when Long Tianxing was about to speak out again, he saw a crescent-colored figure walking out of the black phantom as if strolling in a courtyard.
"Shizi Xiao has come out!" Someone cheered.
"It's a pity that it's a little bit short, otherwise we would be able to embrace the beauty." A young master secretly regretted it.
But more people focused on another point, "Hey, Xiao Shizi has come out, why are those eight people still fighting?"
"Yeah, why are you still fighting? Are you bewitched?"
The young masters and ladies who were eating melons all pointed and discussed in low voices.
After Xiao Yichen came out from the circle of black shadows, he walked up to Lu Xinyan, looked at her bewildered face, and said softly: "Princess, I kept you waiting, I'm coming out."
Lu Xinyan's nose was sore, she almost thought that she was going to be promised to Long Tianxing just now.
She held back her tears and glared at him, this guy, can't he come out a little earlier?She was so scared that her little heart almost stopped beating!
With a stare, Xiao Yichen's complexion was even whiter, but his thin lips were as red as gorgeous flowers.
"Are you okay?" Lu Xinyan asked lately.
Xiao Yichen smiled slightly, "Are you worried about me? I'm fine."
Who is worried about you, I am worried about myself, okay?Lu Xinyan pursed her mouth and did not speak. The moment she saw him, her heart finally returned to its place.
"Xiao Shizi! What did you do to my people?" Long Tianxing walked over with a dark face.
The eight people on the field seemed to be in a demonic state, and there was no one left, but as if there were still people, they kept fighting against the air in the middle.
"Master Long, the Tianjue Sword Formation is incomparably exquisite, not to mention half an hour, even if you give Xiao a few days, Xiao can't break it! And Lord Long, you have improved the Tianjue Sword Formation for Xiao, even more It is extraordinary, so Xiao never thought of breaking the Heavenly Absolute Sword Formation!" Xiao Yichen said.
Long Tianxing asked: "Since you can't break it, how did you get out? Did you drug my people? Let them lose their minds?"
Xiao Yichen said indifferently: "Lord Long, please be careful. As the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the second-rank General of the Fuguo, how could Xiao use such low-level methods?"
"Then what did you do to them?" Long Tianxing's eyes were tearing apart, and he was about to roar out.
He thinks that in martial arts, he can rank in the top [-], and the technique of mechanism formation can be ranked in the top three. He has never encountered a mechanism that he can't see through, or a formation that he can't break!But this person in front of him was under his nose, and he did not know what kind of means he used to trap his person in it without knowing it.
Xiao Yichen lightly hooked the corners of his lips, "With Master Long's ability, I must have guessed it! That's right! In the half hour just now, Xiao was not breaking the formation, but setting up the formation. Now the eight people are trapped in Xiao In the formation set up, compete with the phantoms in the formation! If the formation does not break, when it stops, it will be the time when the eight men collapse from exhaustion!"
"Lengge!" Long Tianxing called his personal bodyguard with a voice of hatred.
"Lord Long, don't say that Xiao didn't remind you, if you want your subordinates to forcefully enter and stop them, then you won't lose eight people, but nine people." Xiao Yichen said with a smile: "Because of this battle, Once an external force invades, the power will increase tenfold, and then both the people in the formation and the intruder will suffer!"
Long Tianxing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this time, he was proficient in formations, so he naturally understood that Xiao Yichen was not alarmist.
Once the Tianjue Sword Formation is deployed, its power will be several times or more than ten times that of the original, but because it must be fully concentrated and cannot be distracted, the energy consumption of each person in the sword formation is twice as much as usual. No way, Long Tianxing hasn't seen the slightest clue yet, he doesn't have the confidence to break through the formation and rescue the eight people before they are damaged.
It took him ten years to find these eight people. Once they were damaged, he would lose at least one-third of Long Tianxing's strength.
At this time, Long Tianxing exuded a cold aura all over his body, and the temperature in Qingfeng Hall dropped several points. He asked bitterly, "Xiao Shizi, what do you want?"
Facing Long Tianxing's strong and cold aura, Xiao Yichen remained unmoved, and slowly said: "It's very simple, as long as Lord Long admits that you lost this competition, and give up letting the emperor marry you to the princess, Xiao Yichen will marry you." So-and-so, the formation was scattered!"
Are the eight people who spent ten years more important, or one woman?For Long Tianxing, the answer is self-evident!
Anyway, what should he do in the future, and what will he do again!
The only thing that made Long Tianxing breathless was that he, who had never fallen before, fell twice in a row at the hands of a junior!
"This account, Long has written it down!" He glanced coldly at Xiao Yichen, turned around and shouted to Emperor Longde: "Your Majesty, in the competition just now, Prince Xiao won, and I admit defeat! Your Majesty, please come down!" The decree is to betroth Princess Zhuzhu to Shizi Xiao as his wife!"
At the same time, Xiao Yichen quickly stepped forward to undo the formation, the eight people holding wooden swords finally stopped, sweating profusely, their eyes were confused, it seemed that they didn't know what happened.
At this time, the hall was quiet, not only everyone in the hall heard Long Tianxing's words, but also Wu Wan who rushed over and was a few meters away from Qingfeng Hall.
"Can't!"
Wu Wan roared, and in desperation, she swung the sword she had just used to threaten the Imperial Forest Army, chopped off a red lantern with one sword, turned it upside down, and the red lantern immediately burst into flames.
She threw it towards Qingfeng Hall vigorously, trying to attract the attention of Emperor Longde in the hall.
One after another, and soon, the burning lanterns accidentally hit the curtain of Qingfeng Hall, and the small flames turned into big flames!
"Ah! It's water!" Wen Ruxiang screamed, and soon more girls started screaming, and the hall suddenly became chaotic.
"Escort!" Chang Chun screamed, and hundreds of imperial guards quickly entered Qingfeng Hall, surrounding the Empress Dowager Longde and others.
Xiao Yichen immediately retreated to Lu Xinyan's side, grabbed her tightly, and hugged her tightly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
At the same time, the queen, who had been silent all this time, stood up in shock, and quickly ordered people to put out the fire, "Come on, put out the fire!"
This banquet was hosted by her, if anything happened, she would be the first person responsible!
The clever little eunuchs quickly brought several buckets of water. The fire was discovered early, and the fire was extinguished in a short while due to the large number of people.
Looking at the clouds of thick smoke and the burnt palace lanterns beyond recognition, Emperor Longde was so angry that his face turned blue, "It's unreasonable, quick check, who is so courageous!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Before a small leader of the Imperial Forest Army left, Wu Wan arrived panting with a sword in one hand and a palace lantern in the other.
Who set the fire, no need to investigate, the answer is already clear at a glance.
"Chang Ping!" The queen's heart that had just come down quickly rose to her throat, and she sternly shouted: "I asked you to shut the door and think about your mistakes, why did you come out without permission? Someone, take the princess back immediately, and keep it under strict supervision!"
"Father!" Wu Wan threw the sword and lantern in her hand, and knelt down on the ground, "Father, Changping is happy with Prince Xiao, please marry Changping!"
Out of the corner of the queen's eyes, she saw Emperor Longde who was trembling with anger, and she was so startled that she immediately walked up to Wu Wan from above, and twisted Wu Wan's arm fiercely, "Chang Ping, shut up for me! As a princess of a country , Marriage matters are decided by the emperor for you, go back to your Zhaoyang Palace!"
Wu Wanlai couldn't get up on the ground, and said stubbornly: "No! Grandmother, father, queen, if you don't agree with Changping, Changping won't be able to kneel!"
The queen gasped, and before she had time to say anything, she heard Emperor Longde's cold voice coming from the seat, "Do you like to kneel here? Well, I do as you wish. Since you like to kneel, then you can always kneel here." This!"
"Your Majesty!" The Empress was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Chang Ping has been talking nonsense for the past two days because he has been feeling unwell. Please calm down, Your Majesty, and spare Chang Ping this time!"
Emperor Longde didn't even look at the two people on the ground, "Xiao Yichen, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the general of the Fuguo, is both intelligent and brave. A match made in heaven, I hereby bestow this marriage, and the Heavenly Supervisor will choose an auspicious day to get married!"
Emperor Longde was still hesitant at first, but now that Wu Wan made a fuss, he simply cut off her thoughts, so as not to cause trouble again!
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Xiao Yichen quickly reacted, and pulled Lu Xinyan to his knees to thank him, followed by countless congratulations.
Wu Wan collapsed to the ground.
"Congratulations, Shizi Xiao!" Long Tianxing thanked with a sullen face.
Xiao Yichen cupped his hands as a gift in return.
"Uncle!" A familiar clear voice sounded.
uncle?Suddenly something exploded in Lu Xinyan's mind.
Wen Ruxiang came over and pulled Long Tianxing's sleeve affectionately, "Uncle, Ruxiang has been looking for you for a long time."
Long Tianxing's face quickly turned into pampering, "Do you need to find uncle? Go, go over there and tell uncle."
"Yes, uncle." Wen Ruxiang smiled mischievously, and the two left together.
Lu Xinyan stared at the backs of the two leaving, her face pale, "Xiao Shizi, I know why Master Long married me!"
-
When Lin Ruyue first married and came to Ankangbo Mansion, she once went to Qingyan Temple to offer incense, met several wives, and had a good chat.
One of them is Wen Ruxiang's mother, Mrs. Wen San, and the other is Mrs. Yao Er from the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Although Lin Ruyue's status is lower than the two of them, but she is intelligent and has an extraordinary temperament. She and Mrs. Yao are very congenial, and occasionally exchange letters, or make an appointment to go to incense together.
Later, the three became pregnant one after another. Mrs. Wen gave birth to Wen Ruxiang in August, Lin Ruyue gave birth to Lu Xinyan in October, and Mrs. Yao gave birth to Yao Xue in March of the following year.
The three wives have a good relationship. Lu Xinyan, Wen Ruxiang and Yao Xue have had a lot of contact since they were young, and their relationship is not bad.
When Lu Xinyan and Wen Ruxiang were nine years old, that is, seven years ago, one day, the two of them, Yao Xue, who was eight years old, and several other friends secretly made an appointment to go to Qingyan Temple to play together, but on the way back they encountered bandits .
Wen Ruxiang is the oldest, with a generous and gentle personality, and has always been the one who has the most say among the few people. Therefore, when she suggested that everyone spread out to distract the bandits, no one objected.
Lu Xinyan and Yao Xue originally hid separately, but they accidentally ran into each other and were discovered by bandits. They held hands and ran as hard as they could. Later, Lu Xinyan accidentally fell from the hillside and passed out.
When he woke up, he was already in the Huanxi Courtyard of Ankangbo Mansion, beside the bed were Lin Ruyue who was weeping, and Lu Congyuan who was furious.
At that time, she learned that Yao Xue was taken away by bandits, and Wen Ruxiang and others accused her, saying that she pushed Yao Xue out for her own life, and let bandits take Yao Xue away.
Regardless of Lu Xinyan just waking up, Lu Congyuan picked her up from the bed, dragged her to Xuanpinghou Mansion, beat her half to death in front of Master Yao and Mrs. Yao Er, Lin Ruyue desperately protected her , and also suffered a lot of beatings, Mrs. Yao fainted from crying, Yao's house was in chaos, and Lu Congyuan stopped.
Later, Lu Xinyan was raised on the bed for nearly three months. Later, a little sister who was with Qingyan Temple at that time, before the whole family moved out of the capital, secretly asked Lu Xinyan to meet and told her that when the bandits came, Wen Ruxiang asked her They ran away, but they were actually using them as bait to lure the bandits away so that they could survive!As for the fact that Lu Xinyan betrayed Yao Xue, no one actually saw it. It was Wen Ruxiang who forced them to say this, saying that if they didn't say that, once the Xuanping Hou Mansion and Yao Xue's ancestral family started a fire, all their families would suffer. !They had to agree.
Angrily, Lu Xinyan went to find Wen Ruxiang to settle the score, but when she saw Wen Ruxiang was with Yao Xue's uncle, she called that person uncle affectionately, just like Yao Xue did back then, sweet and crisp.
And the person called uncle is Long Tianxing!
Mrs. Yao Er is the youngest daughter of Taishi Yao's younger brother, two years older than Long Tianxing.
When Long Tianxing was born, many of his brothers and sisters even had children, so Long Tianxing was not like a younger brother to them, but more like a son or nephew.
Those nephews who are about the same size as him, because Long Tianxing is too smart, are always praised as their role models, coupled with their status as elders, no one wants to play with him, so Long Tianxing and his elders The two-year-old cousin, Long Xin, has become a best friend.
Long Tianxing has a dark personality, but Long Xin is gentle and kind, and can tolerate all of Long Tianxing's bad tempers. The relationship between the two is closer than that of siblings.
Because the relationship between the two was so good, Yao Xue should have called him cousin, but at Long Tianxing's request, she called him uncle directly.
Yao Xue's appearance and character are similar to Mrs. Yao's. She is pure and kind, and Long Tianxing is very fond of her. Even if Yao Xue wants the moon in the sky, I'm afraid he will find a way to pick it off and give it to her.So Yao Xue disappeared, apart from Master Yao and Mrs. Yao, the one who was most annoyed and saddened was Long Tianxing.
This day, when Long Tianxing saw the culprit who caused Yao Xue's disappearance, he rushed up with scarlet eyes, and directly grabbed Lu Xinyan's neck. With that strength, her neck could be broken in the next moment.
Lu Xinyan was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder were torn apart, before she lost consciousness, she vaguely heard a man named Mo Shang say: "Master Long, have you forgotten the agreement with him?"
After that, Lu Xinyan didn't know anything.
Because this memory was too terrifying, when Lu Xinyan woke up, she subconsciously forgot that she had gone to Wen Ruxiang, met Long Tianxing, and sealed Long Tianxing's appearance in her memory.
Now that Wen Ruxiang called uncle, it brought back dusty memories in her, and the unbearable fear of the original owner when she was young surged in her heart at the same time.
Lu Xin's face was as white as paper, Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand to support her, with an anxious expression on his face, "Princess, what's wrong with you? Just bear with it, I'll take you to find Bai Zhi!"
"I'm fine!" Lu Xinyan stopped him, letting the sense of terror flow slowly in her body, and then slowly overflowing her body bit by bit as she took a deep breath.
The blood on his face gradually returned, "Xiao Shizi, I know why Lord Long married me! He wants to avenge Ah Xue!"
"Who is Ah Xue?" Seven years ago, Xiao Yichen was 12 years old, and he was concentrating on practicing martial arts with his master in the mountains. He knew little about the affairs of the capital. After he returned to Beijing, no one mentioned this matter again.
Lu Xinyan told Xiao Yichen about the changes back then, "Master Long knew who I was early on. When I was in Nanshan that day, I once said that he didn't look like a person from the capital. He asked me if I looked strange? It meant that he had recognized me, and even more so. What's more..."
Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice: "What's more, he knew you were going to Nanshan, and deliberately went to Nanshan to block you!"
Lu Xinyan nodded, "Otherwise, I really can't figure out why it's such a coincidence!"
"Long Tianxing returned to Beijing suddenly. I thought it was the Long family's decision to come back. Now it seems that it may just be Long Tianxing's personal act of revenge!"
Lu Xinyan said: "You're right, but I don't understand why he didn't seek revenge on me for so many years, but why did he show up at this time?"
Xiao Yichen took a deep look at her, "Because before this, in the eyes of others, you didn't live well! Your grandmother and father didn't like your mother and daughter, and you were bullied in the house; your mother died young, and you died at the age of 13. Entering the Guangping Marquis’ Mansion to live under the fence; getting married at sixteen, Miyata hates you and doesn’t want to touch you; after half a year of marriage, they are forced to reconcile and return to the mansion! To hate someone, sometimes you don’t have to kill her, but watch her live If you suffer, you will be satisfied in your heart! But now, with your own ability, you are loved by the Queen Mother and Princess Chang'an, and you have made great contributions to saving your family, and you have been awarded the title of princess. How can Long Tianxing sit still when he finds out about it?"
"You're right!" After Lu Xinyan thought about it, she was afraid for a while, "There is no evidence for what happened back then, Master Long always believed that I was the one who harmed Axue! This time, the plan to ask me to marry me and go back to torture me didn't work. I will think of other ways to take revenge on me."
With Long Tianxing's strength, she can't even match his little finger.
Xiao Yichen supported her shoulders, and looked into her eyes firmly, "Don't be afraid, with me here, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest."
Yes, with this thick thigh in front of her, what is she afraid of?Anyway, the emperor had granted them a marriage just now, and they will be a grasshopper on a boat from now on, of course he has to protect her!
Lu Xinyan smiled brightly, all the worries in her eyes disappeared, "With you here, I'm not afraid!"
The two were whispering here, while Emperor Longde was dealing with Wu Wan and Zhu Zhiwei's affairs over there.
After Zhu Zhiwei rode twenty, she was sent back to Zhu's mansion to be disciplined by the Zhu family's Yan family.
Wu Wan was fined to kneel in Qingfeng Hall, and was not allowed to get up without Emperor Longde's permission. The queen was still begging bitterly, but Emperor Longde said angrily, "What a good daughter you taught! Don't care about your shame, and openly expose her in the palace." Arson! Both my mother and I are here, if something goes wrong, can she bear the responsibility? Queen, if you say one more word, I will immediately ask my mother to hold a clan meeting and abolish you, the queen!"
As soon as these words came out, the queen was so frightened that she immediately fell silent.
"The emperor drives Wende Palace!"
"Send off the emperor!" Everyone knelt on the ground.
Emperor Longde left in a huff. He had just walked to the entrance of Qingfeng Hall when he saw Li Yu who was kneeling there dressed up and dejected. He suddenly stopped, "Li Yu, the grandson of General Li, right? You were Didn't you ask me to marry you?"
Li Yu regained his energy suddenly, and said with full strength: "Yes, Your Majesty! I am willing to ask the Emperor to marry you, Gong Jin, the fourth girl of Guangping Marquis Palace!"
He looked at Emperor Longde eagerly. Emperor Longde was originally very angry, but seeing his longing expression, he couldn't help laughing.
This person is good-looking, so he has an advantage!
"Okay, I agree, look at your eagerness! Let Qin Tianjian choose a date to get married!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Congratulations to your Majesty! Go slowly, Your Majesty! Your Majesty Jin'an! Long live your Majesty!" Li Yu was overjoyed and didn't know what to do.
"Stinky boy!" Emperor Longde cursed with a smile, and kicked him, "Don't let your mother make trouble, or I will take it back!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yu patted his chest very loudly.
Today's banquet was originally for Xiao Yichen's marriage, but now that the marriage was booked, the banquet broke up quickly.
Thanks to eleine1989 and Qingwu Feiyang for their monthly tickets!Thank you for the recommendation tickets from the little cuties in the book city!
