The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 283 Free From Now On

Long Xilan was silent for a long time, and finally closed her eyes, "That's all!"

Even if she doesn't leave, the Ji family has countless ways to make her leave, so let's go!

"You can think about it, I'm very pleased." Ji Jinjiang said hypocritically.

However, she didn't want to leave like this. She wanted to go back to see Li Huai and Xu'er, so she truthfully told them about her plan and asked them to promise that after Ji Jinhua went to the palace, she would treat Li Xuru's parents well. , and then she rode towards Prince Xu's mansion.

The horse galloped on the streets of Jinling again. Although the snow had stopped, the wind was stingingly cold. She returned to the Xu Palace in the fastest time, dismounted at the end of the yard, and galloped like Li Huai. Sure enough, today he was in the palace, writing something, when Xi Lan saw a letter on the table.

Everything in the palace was no longer important to a person like her who was about to leave, so she didn't pay attention to what was written in the letter and where it was going to be sent.

"Li Huai." She came running, panting heavily, and even her face turned red!
Li Huai raised his eyes and glanced at her, then lowered his head, continued to be busy with the matter in his hands, and replied: "If you run like this, what important things do you want to say?"

There was a hint of a smile on her face, but after hearing these words, she slowly closed her face. She thought that since she was not at the house all night, Li Huai should be worried about her whereabouts, right?No matter how many times she was in trouble, he could find her accurately. Could it be that he didn't know anything?No, Xi Lan still understands him. When he saw Li Xu for the first time, he knew that he was the child of illusion. Maybe he would have discovered that she came like this too, right?He doesn't say, there is only one reason, he doesn't care!

That's right, he didn't care about anything, and he didn't have any extra emotion to give to her, and how could her role as a substitute for him compare to the real reincarnation of Bodhi Star?

And he used to be a little special to her because Bodhi saved him from the devil world, but Bodhi is not her anymore, and that little bit of special is gone!

At this moment Li Huai didn't hear her answer, so he slowly raised his eyes, "Xi Lan?"

She put away all the disappointment on her face, and asked softly, "I'm hungry, Li Huai, do you want breakfast?"

The other party didn't answer immediately, and continued to lower his head and write something in his hand.It seems that he has no intention of having breakfast with her, and that's right, he doesn't need to eat these mortal food. Xi Lan stood where he was, carefully looking at his calm and profound handsome face, and finally decided to eat from this study room. back out.

So she turned around, opened the door and stepped out, knowing that she would never go back to Jinling after leaving, but her farewell to Li Huai made her completely give up. This indifference slowly washes away and wears away.

Standing outside the study, she took a long breath, the sky was blue today, but it was still cold, her body was cold, and her heart was even colder.

"What are you doing standing here? Aren't you going to eat breakfast?" Li Huai's plain voice came from behind, and she was naturally surprised. Looking back, Li Huai's face was as calm as her voice. Xi Lan changed his expression, but Xi Lan got used to all his expressions.

"I thought you didn't want to eat." She grinned, and her heart changed slightly.

Li Huai looked away from her face, turned and walked forward, "It's not bad to eat some once in a while."

Xi Lan ordered Chen Niang to prepare breakfast. It had been a long time since she served the prince herself for breakfast. Chen Niang was very happy and prepared a table of food, including yellow rice porridge, white flour snacks, shallot noodles, etc., which were not like the rare tastes in the palace. , but it can be regarded as a delicacy for ordinary people!
"Chen Niang, sit down and eat together!" Xi Lan used to have a deep estrangement from Chen Niang, but it doesn't matter now. She actually respects this elder, and this is the last time she eats in the palace. Yes, she hopes that everyone can sit at the table happily, like sending off friends and relatives.

Chen Niang delayed and said: "Princess, there are still some snacks in the dining room, I have to look at them personally, you and the prince should eat more."

Xi Lan nodded without forcing her, and looked at Li Huai. She asked Chen Niang to sit down to eat, but she was a little surprised that Li Huai didn't speak.After Chen Niang went out, she said: "Chen Niang has taken good care of the prince all her life, and the prince should treat her well in the future." Having encountered so many things, there are not many people around Li Huai who truly treat him. It was also her kind advice to Li Huai before she left.

The man who was slowly chewing his food had heard her words and didn't respond. She thought to herself, he didn't ignore it, maybe he just listened to it, so he didn't speak.He is so lofty, so naturally there is no need to answer every sentence!

She also knew that these thoughts were probably deceiving herself, she said: "My lord, Xu'er is still young, if you have time, spend more time with him."

Li Huai Renjiu didn't answer, as if her words were speaking to the air; she lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said: "No matter how forgetful the world is, children are innocent. I hope that when Xu'er grows up, he can be like a Just like his father, kind, wise, gentle and meticulous, if the prince doesn't speak, I'll take it as your promise!"

This time, she lost her promise to Mrs. Rongguo and couldn't raise Li Xu as an adult herself. She had a lot of worries in her heart, but she thought that Ji Jinhua was the reincarnation of Bodhi after all, not a treacherous villain, but also a truly educated and reasonable person. A lady was born, and Li Xu followed her, so he was naturally better than her, so he was a little relieved.

Thinking of this, she buried her head and gulped down the small porridge in the bowl, but because she was too anxious, she choked and coughed. She turned around, and her face turned red instantly due to coughing.She didn't expect that a big cold hand patted her back gently to relieve her pain. This pat was more effective than any elixir. She suddenly stopped coughing and put her reddish face Turning around, I saw Li Huai's indifferent face, and said in a reproachful tone: "There is so much food on the table, and this king won't let you snatch it, what are you in a hurry for?"

"I... Thank you, my lord." She buried her head down, struggling with many complicated emotions in her heart. The most profound thing was the pain of forcing herself to let go even though she clearly felt that he was changing.

Li Huai took back the hands on her back, continued to pick up the bowls and chopsticks in front of her, ate them tastelessly, and said lightly: "Don't you like to call me by my name, which one is it this morning?" The tendons are long and fall down, and each mouthful is screaming like a prince!"

"Oh? Yes, I didn't pay attention!" She hurriedly made an excuse, probably because she was learning slowly, and regarded this person as someone who had nothing to do with her!
Not long after the two finished their breakfast, Li Huai got up and went back to his room to change clothes. According to his instructions, he seemed to be going out of the city to the military camp.

Xi Lan's heart tightened. After Li Huai left the mansion, it was the best time for her to leave. She had never worried about how to escape, but she never thought that she would have so many things to say to him so soon!
Li Huai found that she had followed him into the bedroom, and the maid who waited on him had already prepared his robes!
"Go out, I'll wait for the prince to change his clothes!"

The two servants retreated obediently. Xi Lan went over and changed his clothes skillfully. This was the last time she changed his clothes. She wanted to take this opportunity to have a few more words with him. But she didn't know how to speak the words she had hidden.

"The king saw your dream that day!" Li Huai said suddenly.

Xi Lan raised her head and asked softly, "What dream?"

She was always having all kinds of dreams, how could he know which dream was remembered by him like this.

The other party replied: "It's your childhood dream with Zi Xuyuan!"

"Oh!" She smiled awkwardly, she didn't know why he mentioned this, but there must be a reason!
Then I heard him say: "Zixu Yuan was also a Taoist with a lot of cultivation in his first life before Yuan."

She raised her head in surprise, "You know?"

"Naturally, he was called Yuan Zang in his previous life, and he practiced with me on Yiling Mountain. He was originally a very talented practitioner, but he fell in love with a demon, but after the demon died, he also gave up suffering. Xiu, from then on, willing to degenerate, drifted away from the world, and became a wandering Taoist priest."

It turned out that Zi Xuyuan's previous life was also so affectionate, Xi Lan sighed after hearing this, and replied: "It's rare that you would tell me this."

Hearing his tone, she felt very sorry for Yuan Zangshi's talent. Thinking about it, they were still friends in the time of death, right?
"Many people feel sorry for him, but this king feels that Yuanzang is the most detached person I have ever seen in the world. Although his life was short, he traveled all over the world..."

Hearing Li Huaijiang's words, Xi Lan felt strange.She asked him: "What about you? Do you also miss everything from 2000 years ago?"

The other party's eyes slowly turned to her face, seeming to be thinking, but also unwilling to answer.

Not long after, she had dressed all the clothes for him, and she knew that he was leaving soon!When she saw him go back to the study, she still followed behind him every step of the way. Li Huai put away the written letter, called someone to come over, and asked someone to send it out. When she looked back, she was still standing at the door, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "Are you still waiting?" what to say?"

Xi Lan looked at him deeply, unable to be calm anymore, she ran over and hugged Li Huai's waist, "Li Huai, you will be fine from now on, okay?"

Li Huai looked down at her with calm eyes. She couldn't understand what was going on in his heart, but she had written all the sadness on her face. She really wanted him to ask what's the matter, and she really wanted him to find out. What could keep her, tell her that by his side, she was never a backup.

But in the long silence, from his unmoved face, she found how pathetic her letting go of her feelings was, so she let her go slowly.

At some point, the corners of her eyes were wet, she reached out her hand to touch it, and after regaining her composure, she said softly, "Li Huai, I'm sorry."

Sorry, I can't do what I promised!Although you never care!

The other party seemed to understand her apology, gave a soft 'um', turned around and went out to the study door, where the Wangfuwei who had been waiting for a long time was waiting outside.

Xi Lan watched his back as he walked out, and said in a voice that she could only hear: "Goodbye!"

When can we see you again?Her heart is sad, everything is over!
Unexpectedly, Li Huai seemed to hear her voice, stopped outside the door and said, "Xi Lan, you will be fine in the future."

Her face froze, and the tears that had just stopped flowing fell silently again, but the figure that made her nostalgic did not stay in front of the door for long, and disappeared into the courtyard the next moment.

Xi Lan felt sad, she thought, in this life, there are no cruel missions to be completed by herself, and she should go happily after regaining her freedom. Why did she make herself look like a bitter woman? Taking a breath, he went to Li Xu's room and said goodbye to the child.

At this time, Yan Ming and Xiao Man were also there, and they both noticed the red circles under her eyes. Presumably, the prince made the concubine uncomfortable again!But the two of them didn't dare to say more, they hugged Li Xu to make her laugh, and Yan Ming told her a dry joke, Xi Lan really couldn't laugh after hearing it, but Xiaoman fully verified the sentence in the eyes of lovers Speaking of Xi Shi's proverbs, I kept laughing.

"What were you doing just now?" she asked softly.

Xiaoman replied: "Yan Ming is studying for the little prince!"

"Study? Or the "Analects" that the prince gave you?"

"Yes!" The other party smiled and took out the old booklet in his arms and flipped through it, and replied: "Read it to the little prince every day. It is said that it can cultivate him to be eager to learn. In the future, the little prince will be like the prince. Profound and knowledgeable, talented!"

Xi Lan used to plan to let Yan Ming leave the palace and take Yan Ting and Xiaoman to live the lives of ordinary people, but now she has to leave first, and she still can't let Li Xu go, she said apologetically: "If you can That's fine!"

Yan Ming's expression changed, "What did the princess say? Naturally, my subordinates are willing to do their best to the little prince like this every day!"

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Although Xiaoman and I also yearn for a life outside, the palace has always been the place where I have lived for more than ten years. There are so many brothers of mine here. How could I be willing to leave them behind and go have a good time by myself."

Xiaoman also said: "Yes, Wangfei, Yan Ming is a person who values ​​affection. Xiaoman has been a slave all his life. To be able to meet Wangfei and Yan Ming to treat Xiaoman so well is a blessing in his life. The little prince is Xiaoman is willing to serve him all his life as the princess's child."

She was naturally very moved after hearing these words, and hoped that Ji Jinhua would treat them kindly when he came here in the future.

She hugged Li Xu into her arms, took out a bunch of silver bells worn by children from her sleeves, and put them on for Li Xu. She bought them casually on the street that day. At that time, she thought they were pretty and not expensive. But he was about to leave, but he didn't leave anything for the child, so he could only use this silver bell instead!
"Is there something on your mind?" Xiao Man was more careful than Yan Ming, and found that she was behaving abnormally today, so she couldn't help asking worriedly.

"It's okay!" She shook her head and hugged Li Xu to her, "Take good care of Xu'er!"

"Ah."

After speaking, she got up and went out, came to the side of Lianhu Lake, rowed to the small island in the lake by herself, saw the orchids blooming in the cave, she found the biggest one among them, and sat on the round stone next to it.Since they came back, she has raised the flower body of Ping An here, and now it is snowing in the cold winter, and everything outside is withered, only the stone cave in the center of the lotus lake is full of life, Xi Lan sits among these fairy flowers, Yu Pingan said softly: "Ping An, I have to leave, everything in this palace is up to you to guard!"

In fact, she didn't need to say that, Ping An would do it.

Ping An didn't show up, and she didn't sit for too long, and soon she left Lianhu Lake. Except for a few men's clothes she had prepared, she didn't take anything with her. When the servants in the house didn't pay attention, she quietly went out through the back door. go.

But after she took two steps, Yan Ming chased after her, "Princess, where are you going? Bring your subordinates with you!"

She didn't expect this guy to follow, her heart tightened, but she smiled slightly, "I'm going to a place, I don't want others to disturb you, you should stay in the palace!"

Yan Ming naturally refused to do it, and replied in a twisted manner: "That's not possible. The situation in Beijing and China is uncertain recently. It's better for the princess to take her subordinates with her wherever she goes!"

"If something happens to you, your little ability is just holding me back, go back, I really won't take you this time!"

Hearing this, the other party bowed his head in shame. The princess was right, and it was the princess who saved him several times.

But he soon realized the burden on Xi Lan, "Princess, are you going to travel far away?"

She explained: "It contains the ones I want to use, for self-defense, don't think about it, I will be back today!"

Naturally, she will come back, but the one who comes back is another Princess Xu.

The other party asked half-believingly: "Really?"

"Why did you lie to you? Go back quickly, I'm leaving!" After she finished speaking, she walked forward quickly.

Standing at the door, Yan Ming watched her turn the corner, scratched his head and said to himself, "Why do you think the princess won't come back?"

At this moment, Xi Lan turned the corner of the street, raised her head and took a deep breath. She was really afraid of shed tears in front of that fool Yan Ming just now, but fortunately, she held back!
However, she seemed to sense that there was someone on the other side of the street, so she immediately turned around to look alertly, but was there anyone in the empty alley?She let out a breath and left here quickly.

When she completely disappeared at the corner of the street, just now Xi Lan noticed a tall and straight figure walking out of the alley around the corner. His handsome face, which was not angry and arrogant, looked at the direction of her disappearance and stood there for a long time.

He is not alone, and there is a team of disciplined guards behind him. Zhuang Junfan has not seen his master's affectionate appearance for a long time, and he felt a lot of confusion in his heart. Anyone going to follow?"

Li Huai didn't turn his head back, his eyes were still looking in that direction, and he sighed softly: "No need!"

"The princess, she..."

He immediately put away all the weaknesses in his eyes just now, and turned to an intimidating look, and asked coldly: "When did you learn to make your own decisions!"

"This subordinate is sloppy!" Zhuang Zhimou immediately bowed his head to admit his mistake, and he didn't say anything more, and soon he led everyone away.

Xi Lan wore men's clothes, and soon left the city, went to the north gate of the city to look for Zi Xuyuan, she didn't know where the brat was waiting for her, but she went out of the city gate and searched around, but she didn't see him Human shadow, if something happened to him, he would not miss the appointment. Xi Lan saw an open-air tea shed over there. There are many people going in and out of the city, so the business of the tea shed is very good. She finally found a seat to sit down. , Boss Guan asked for a bowl of rough tea.

"Okay, a bowl of weak tea!" The boss was wearing an old jacket, and his voice was loud, and he brought her a bowl of tea after a while, but the boss didn't leave, and carefully looked at the clothes on her body. After looking at his clothes and appearance, he asked, "Is my brother's surname Long?"

Xi Lan was drinking tea, she was naturally surprised when she heard this question, she raised her head and asked him, "How does the boss know?"

"Zi Daochang is really amazing. He said that the people he was waiting for would come here to look for him today, but he went to the city on an urgent matter, so he asked me to help keep an eye out."

She asked him, "Then how do you know it's me?"

The owner of the tea shed replied: "Zi Daochang explained that you would sit at this table. It is strange to say that there are so many guests today, one after another, no one has ever sat at this table. Zi Daozhang also said You look handsome, just like a woman! I, Tan San'er, have not seen many young masters as handsome as my brother in the north gate of today's city."

Zi Xuyuan actually counted that she would come today, but she still went to the city, presumably there is some urgent need to go!
She raised her head and asked the other party: "Then Taoist Priest Zi, did you explain anything else?"

"He asked you to wait for him in the tea shed, but he didn't say when you'd be back, but don't worry brother, the refreshments in the tea shed are not considered money."

Not to mention, she really doesn't have much money on her body, she is no longer Princess Xu, and those things don't belong to her.

"Thank you boss!"

"Thank you, since I am a friend of Daoist Zi, I am also an expert, Daoist Zi has helped me a lot!"

It was only later that I found out that Zi Xuyuan was not idle at the north gate every day, and he often helped people in need around him. At first, it was about ghosts. Later, many people came to him for fortune-telling and Feng Shui. They don’t charge money, and over time, when Po Wang’s chicken disappeared, he asked him about his whereabouts. Aunt Zhang’s daughter-in-law couldn’t conceive, so she also asked him to solve the problem. one god.

Xi Lan's heart was originally heavy, but when she heard the boss say this, she suddenly relaxed a lot, and echoed, "Beimen Yishen? I think the name Beimenshen is more or less the same."

But she sat in the tea shed all afternoon and did not see Zi Xuyuan coming back. She was a little annoyed and would not go out of the city for a while, and the city gates were closed, so she asked the boss: "Have you heard from Taoist Zi that he is going into the city?" Where?"

The boss thought for a while and replied: "It seems that a teahouse called Yunhezhuang went to meet someone, because someone came to invite someone before dawn this morning."

When Xi Lan found out, she immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go find him. If he misses me when he comes back, the boss will tell him not to go anywhere, and I will come back again."

"Row."

Soon, she re-entered the city, and the sky was getting dark. She quickened her pace to go to Yunhezhuang, but she still didn't find Zixuyuan's whereabouts when she got there. She asked the teahouse owner, who said that Zixuyuan was in the morning Been here indeed, with a very pretty girl.

"Pretty girl?" Xi Lan frowned, did this guy commit a crime recently? "Does the boss know where they went?"

The boss shook his head, "My Yunhe Village has countless customers every day. If it weren't for the two of them who are both talented and beautiful, and the girl is carrying a big cloth bag, I don't even remember them coming."

"A black cloth bag?"

"Yes! It seems that there are some musical instruments in it!"

Xi Lan seems to realize who that beautiful girl is. Mrs. Miaoqu has come to the capital, maybe Zhu Lao Taisui and others are also here?Xi Lan didn't stay any longer, and walked outside quickly. The city gate was closed at this moment, and she couldn't go out, so she had to find a remote inn in the capital to stay. There was no room in the inn, so she had to live in a stable, lying in the haystack at night, listening to the snow wind blowing outside, recalling that it was about this time a year ago, when she lived in a stable with the horse guard. People chatting, everything, as if it happened just now.Clearly, she was pushed awake by someone, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zi Xuyuan squatting beside her, looking at her with disgust: "Stinky girl, if the princess doesn't do it, she doesn't have to sleep in a stable like this, right?"
