The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 268 Returning to Jinling
On the day of passing Mangshan Pass, the first snow of the year fell.

And Li Huai didn't need to wait for Jinling to come to clear the customs documents. His customs clearance documents were already in Xi Lan's place long before he left Beijing!

They went to the Empress Dowager's place, and the Empress Dowager gave her the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures. At that time, the Empress Dowager said she didn't need to read them before returning to Beijing. Now that she came back, Xi Lan didn't expect that there were customs clearance documents in it. .

After walking forward for two days, the city of Jinling was looming in the winter twilight.

It has been several months since they left, what kind of everything in Jinling is waiting for them?
From Li Huai's indifferent and cold eyes, Xi Lan saw the daunting ambition, and at the same time saw the short-term power struggle.

The people of Jinling, when they heard that King Xu returned to the capital, they did not line up the road to welcome him like they left. On the contrary, everyone avoided the places they passed by and showed signs of extreme fear. It is said that Prince Xu is a murderous demon, and it is really embarrassing that what the people used to want has become so fearsome.

She saw Li Huai sitting quietly in the carriage, holding his finger wrench in his hand, obviously showing no emotion, but she regarded it as loss.

Su Shi hated the world because he felt cold for the world's ruthlessness, so would he feel more uncomfortable?
Xi Lan gently stretched out her hand to hold his cold palm. In the past, he used his hand to warm her, but now it's her!

The other party's downcast eyes saw her hand, and he turned his head slowly, and saw her big and agile eyes.

"Xi Lan, do you know? Your eyes are unparalleled in the world!" His eyes were soft and rippling, which is rare.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and replied: "Then I would like to thank these unparalleled eyes, so I can pity you!"

"You came 500 years late..." He suddenly lowered his head again, as if laughing, and said, "It's fine if you don't come here!"

She felt that he was also holding her hand hard, but she couldn't understand what he was talking about.

"Here we are!" The Dragon Army was unable to enter the city, and they were stationed in the western suburbs of the city. They only brought Wangfuwei back to Xuwangfu.

Although there were no common people to welcome them, there were still other people waiting outside the palace.

King Qu, Li Wei, Ji Jinjiang, Princess Changle, and Song Ziyao from Dali Temple, these people are really affectionate, knowing that being involved with Li Huai may cause disaster, they will appear at this time.

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister-in-Law!" When they got out of the carriage, Chang Le was the first to run towards them, hugged Xi Lan affectionately, rushed to Li Huai's side, held Li Huai's hand and said with tears: "Brother Seven, you're finally back. You haven't seen Concubine Mu for the last time. You don't know. Concubine Mu is chanting your name with her last breath..."

However, Li Huai stood like a wooden sculpture, his gaze fell on Chang Le's hand holding him.

In the past, this royal girl would do the same thing when she acted like a baby, but obviously after Su Shi woke up, she was a little disgusted or numb to such an intimate act, and even showed a state of complete indifference to the other party's sadness and happiness.He said coldly: "A mortal body will eventually die!"

Everyone was stunned. After many days, it was a sad and happy time to reunite. His appearance gave everyone a blow in the head.

Xi Lan coughed lightly, pulled Chang Le over, and explained: "Your brother is too sad for the mother and concubine, and his spirit is not good."

King Qu sighed: "Seventh Brother, don't be too sad, just take care of yourself."

Li Huai's cold eyes swept over, King Qu shuddered unexpectedly, he was a little afraid to look into those eyes, he said embarrassingly: "Seventh brother seems to be exhausted, and urgently needs to rest..."

Song Ziyao took the words and said: "Then let's come and get together another day, and then clean up the dust for King Xu!"

"Chang Le misses Seventh Brother so much, I want to stay! There are other things to discuss!" Chang Le said shyly.

So the others hurriedly said goodbye, and seeing other people in the palace, Sun Bo, Chen Niang, Qian Mo and Qinglian, Xi Lan felt a lot of emotion, but she was too tired, so she took a group of people in and settled down first. Start with dinner.

Chen Niang cooks in person, cooking all their favorite dishes, but there are only Xi Lan and Chang Le at the dinner table.

"Where is Brother Seven?"

Xi Lan looked calm, she had expected this to happen.

Whether it's master and servant or brother and sister, in Shu Shi's eyes, they all become cheap feelings belonging to mortals. He doesn't need them, and he doesn't even want to pretend.

"Your seventh brother is too tired, let's go back to the room to rest!" But she didn't want to hurt Changle's heart, and explained with a smile.

Fortunately, Changle's mind was simple, so he didn't think too much, and told Xi Lan about what happened in the capital during the time they left.

First, it talked about those ministers who supported Li Huai, who were demoted out of Beijing one after another, and then talked about which lady in Beijing married the prince as a concubine. At this point, Chang Le nodded with a low smile, and called out softly: "Sister-in-law Seventh Emperor!"

"Ok?"

"Mother and concubine are gone. Apart from father and emperor, Changle is closest to Seventh Brother. When the mother in the palace told Changle about the wedding ceremony a few days ago, she said that before her daughter got married, she asked her natal mother to give her hair It's auspicious, now that Changle has no mother and concubine, but I don't want other people around, Changle has already discussed with the father, and the father is up to me to choose, so Changle hopes that on the day of my wedding, the emperor's sister-in-law can Hair for me, okay?"

It turns out that she was referring to this when she said that she had something to discuss outside the residence.Xi Lan asked thoughtfully, "Have you set a date for your wedding with Prince Xian?"

"Well, at the end of this month."

Seeing this kind and innocent princess, Xi Lan feels distressed and pitiful. Concubine Yu is dead, and her dearest seventh brother has become like this again. If she wants to marry Mo Gongyi, will she really treat her well?
Xi Lan suddenly thought of the vision about Changle she saw a year ago, and couldn't help but worry about it.

"Changle, you have nothing to do in the future, don't go to your seventh brother's other courtyard, did you hear me?"

The other party looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly wanted to say this.

"Other courtyard? Why?"

"It was the Zi Daochang who told me that it's not peaceful there." She thought of an excuse casually, and Chang Le had a simple mind, so she agreed without thinking too much!

"Sister-in-law Seventh Emperor, have you agreed?"

She looked sideways and asked, "Do you want to curl your hair for you?"

"Ah."

"Okay! When the time comes, Qinglian and I will study hard and make a beautiful bun for you."

Changle was very happy after hearing this answer.

The two agreed, and almost finished their dinner, Xi Lan asked people to take out the green bamboo room for Changle to live in, and then she went back to Anrui Pavilion, the master bedroom where they used to live, and looked at everything that was familiar, feeling a sense of familiarity. It was also uncomfortable, when they left, everything was fine with them, but now everything has changed, the place is as cold as Li Huai's body.

Inadvertently, she saw the things that Ning Wanzhui gave her when she left Beijing in the side room. She had never looked through them before, and suddenly became a little interested. Fortunately, she didn't burn these things at the beginning Yes, because these are proofs that all the emotions of that gentle Ji Hai are also the love that most despises mortals in this world.

She sat on the ground, took out all those things, and put them in the palm of her hand. It was a pink ceramic doll. When she closed her eyes, she saw a young man in purple holding it contentedly.

"My lord, why don't you give some more valuable things to Miss Ning? This..." It was Liu Jin, who looked like she was only in her teens and hadn't even developed her facial features.

In contrast, Li Huai has distinct facial features and has always been so dazzling. He glanced at Liu Jin from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "What do you know, those rare treasures are not as good as this king's sincerity."

That smile was real and profound, Xi Lan hadn't seen it for a long time!

She picked up a wooden horse again, and when she closed her eyes, the picture appeared again.

It was in the palace, Li Huai was still wearing a light purple robe, a jade crown on his head, delicate features, and a carving knife in his hand, he was carefully carving an unfinished wooden horse. , calling out: "My lord, it's not good, Yan Ming met the palace guards on the street just now, and fought with them..."

When Li Huai was called out like this, the knife directly cut his index finger.

"Ouch, the prince is bleeding!" Liu Jin yelled in panic.

Li Huai only slightly tightened his eyebrows. "where is it?"

Xi Lan opened her eyes and looked down at the wooden horse. Although it was a little old, she could clearly see a red plum blossom painted on the wooden horse's neck.

It must have been blood stained on the wooden horse at that time, and he added it, so she closed her eyes again, and she really saw the gentle man sitting in the study, using a paintbrush to paint the blood on the horse into plum blossoms seriously After closing her eyes like this, she couldn't bear to open her eyes, because once she opened them, that appearance disappeared!She even wanted to reach out to touch his warm cheek, so she closed her eyes and stretched out her hand, and then she did touch a cheek, but it was cold.
