The servant lowered his hands to serve him respectfully, without making a sound. Only the sound of crackling charcoal in the stove sounded warm to his ears.
Xian Zi Ai frowned slightly and said softly and bitterly: "I don't believe you can't freeze to death!"
The voice sounded half-angry, but also vaguely resentful, akin to hatred.
The guard's horse left the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the lonely street was a bit chaotic. In front of it was the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion. In the cold, there was some light sweat on the guard's forehead, and the handkerchief carefully wrapped around his chest was obviously too light to weigh.
, but the pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
When the horse arrived at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion, the guard sent by Xian Ziyi quickly jumped off the horse, raised his voice slightly and said to the gate: "I am willing to look forward to it. On the order of the Queen, I have an urgent matter to see Prince Xuan. Please allow Prince Xuan to see me."
.”
The servants in front of the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion were quietly sweeping the fallen leaves. As the day turned cooler, the leaves fell faster and yellower day by day. After sweeping with the broom, they were still flying in the wind. When they heard the voice of the visitor, none of the servants showed their faces.
He looked surprised and only glanced at the person coming.
A servant responded: "Wait for a while, let me know. The prince is willing to see you, then we can talk."
Gan Chongwang stopped talking and stayed in front of his horse. He had passed this place countless times from far away. Every time, he only took a quick glance. This was a place more majestic than the palace, but it seemed so simple.
Can't fault anything weird.
"Why do you want to see the prince?" Guard Jin walked out and took a look at the person who came. He was about the same age as himself. His eyebrows were reserved and he was not a showy person.
Gan Chongwang looked at the Jin guards. He had seen this person before. He was one of the close guards of Prince Xuan. He had outstanding martial arts skills and was calm and restrained. He secretly admired this person and said in a gentle tone: "I am the Queen.
The escort was ordered by the Queen to look for the Prince Consort and Princess Butterfly who was taken away by the Prince Consort. A few days ago, I got something by chance. When the Queen saw it, I asked you to send it over immediately for Prince Xuan to take a look at."
Guard Jin took the handkerchief that was wrapped very carefully. Looking from the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside. It was very light, so light that it was completely weightless. He glanced at Gan Chongwang.
"I think that Prince Xuan will definitely be impressed by the items inside." Gan Chongwang said softly, without explaining what was inside. "Please ask the Jin guards to hand it over to Prince Xuan on your behalf. I'll wait here."
The Jin guards did not speak, turned around and left with their things. The servants cleaning the fallen leaves at the door continued to do their own things. Although Gan Zhongwang was the guard in front of the Empress and seemed to be trusted by the Empress, in their eyes, he was just a
An ordinary guy.
The guards of Jin greeted Xuan Yi who came out of Prince Lao
The person who brought the items looked unfamiliar, he was about the same age as my subordinates, and he was a steady man of few words. He knew that his subordinates were going to ask him what the items were, but he avoided talking about them."
Xuan Yi took the items handed over by the guards of Jin and opened them casually. He had never seen Xian Zi Ai again since they separated in front of the princess's house that day. However, Xian Zi Ai did a great job as the empress.
For Xian Zi's sake, as long as this Xian Zi Ai does not bring harm to the country and the people, she can take the position of empress.
"Your Majesty—" Guard Jin seemed to stiffen when he saw Xuan Yi. He was startled, thinking that the items sent by the man named Gan Zhongwang were poisonous. He was about to take the items back from Xuan Yi, but his eyes froze in Xuan Yi's hands.
On the items in his hands, he blurted out, "This, this, isn't this the Madam's? This is very similar to the flowers on the cloak given by Aunt Chun's mother. Could it be, could it be that Xian Zi Ai has found the Madam?!"
"Bring him to see me." Xuan Yi shook his hand, holding the handkerchief tightly in his hand, "Study."
"Yes." Guard Jin didn't say much, and immediately turned around and ran towards the door. His heart was beating so hard that he was panicking, as if something important was about to happen. His steps were very fast, but inexplicably.
It was a bit messy, and he even took several steps before he realized that he was on track.
Xuan Yi sat in front of the desk and looked at the handkerchief placed on the table quietly. This was not a precious fabric. It was only found in ordinary people's homes, and it was not a wealthy family. Where is Zi Qian? Is there any?
Suffering? How on earth does she survive without her memory?
"Your Majesty, we've brought them." Guard Jin's footsteps were a little heavy. When he arrived at the gate, he didn't ask any questions. He only motioned for Gan Chongwang to follow him. The two of them arrived here in silence all the way. Guard Jin didn't ask any questions until they arrived.
It was only then that he spoke. After holding back his words, he let out a long breath.
His tone even startled Xiaopei, who had made tea and brought it in. When had Jin Guards been doing this? He looked calm, as usual, but was nervous and awkward. It seemed that Xiaopei was also following him inexplicably.
I'm getting nervous, is something going to happen?
Xuan Yi raised his eyes and looked at Guard Jin and Gan Zhongwang who was following Guard Jin. His expression was calm but gentle, and he simply said: "Sit down."
Xiao Pei put down the tea and looked curiously at the unfamiliar man who was a little embarrassed. Is he this person? Guard Jin, who had always been calm, became vaguely nervous. Guard Jin ignored Xiao Pei's curiosity and even pretended not to see Xiao Pei ask.
With a look in his eyes, he just moved a chair for Gan Chongwang to sit down.
"I'm still kneeling down to speak." Gan Chongwang did not sit down. He knelt down in front of the desk with a plop, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "I am the guard in front of the empress. My surname is Gan Chongwang, and I have met Prince Xuan."
Xuan Yi did not stop him and said calmly: "Did you get this handkerchief?"
"Yes." Gan Chongwang said respectfully, "On the surface, my subordinates were ordered by the Empress to search for the missing Prince Consort Guan Yucheng and Princess Die who was taken away by the Prince Consort Guan Yucheng. In fact, they were following the Empress's instructions to blend in with the searching people.
Secretly looking for some clues related to Princess Xuan. The Queen Mother said that she believed that Princess Xuan must still be alive because she and Princess Xuan, who is known to the world to have passed away, are from the same mother. They are different from others in that they are sisters.
There is a good connection between them."
"Yes, I am ashamed of myself for this." Xuan Yi did not deny that Gan Zhongwang said that Xian Zi Ai did not believe that Xian Zi Jian was not dead, and said in a light tone.
"I have seen many items related to Princess Xuan before, including some items from before Princess Xuan married Prince Xuan. Among them are items embroidered by Princess Xuan." Gan Chongwang said respectfully.
