Chapter 117 The Empress Dowager

Chapter 117 Crown Princess

Xixia is now very powerful, even slightly stronger than the Song Dynasty.

There is no shortage of common things in the Xixia Palace.

To match the delicacies of mountains and seas, silk and satin are certainly not bad.

Although Li Qinglu is a princess of Xixia, she is not a prince after all, so she naturally misses a lot of social activities on weekdays.

In addition, this royal family and nobles are far different from ordinary people's homes, where they can't be seen when they look up and look down.

If there is nothing to do, I usually won't go to visit.

Li Qinglu lives deep in the palace and has little entertainment on weekdays.

However, it has been a bit too much for fun these days.

She never expected that Chen Xuanzhen was like a dog, with so much energy that he could not stop.

If it weren't for the experts from the Xixia First Grade Hall who had been summoned before, it would have caused trouble, and she would have to prepare some excuses.

I'm afraid she won't be able to get up today.

Although she left the palace, she couldn't bear to leave Meng Lang, so she asked Chen Xuan to follow him disguised as a guard all the way.

Chen Xuan followed her around the palace and clearly noticed that there were many more patrolling guards in the palace.

"Your Highness, do you have so many guards patrolling on weekdays?"

Li Qinglu glanced at him faintly, and there was no need to say more about the meaning beyond these words.

It was probably Chen Xuan's fault for sneaking into her bedroom and causing so much trouble.

Chen Xuan didn't know the reason, so he just took it as such when he saw Li Qinglu winking.

Li Qinglu is going to see her father to pay her respects today.

The current Emperor of Xixia is not Li Yuanhao, but Li Yuanhao's son Li Liangzuo.

Naturally, it is unlikely that Crown Princess Li Qiu Shui will show up.

Chen Xuan had no intention of joining in the fun, but Li Qinglu didn't force him.

But before parting, she seemed to have thought of something and said softly.

"You said, if I ask my father to find a son-in-law, would you be willing to stay with me?"

"It depends."

Chen Xuan agreed simply, but it made Li Qinglu roll her eyes.

Although she was resentful in her heart, Chen Xuan was extremely skilled in martial arts and sneaked into her palace to do bad things.

To put it bluntly, he is an evil thief.

Li Qinglu had no way to control him. Besides, the two of them had already talked about recruiting a son-in-law a few days ago.

Chen Xuan also expressed his attitude that he could marry Li Qinglu, but he would not stay in Xixia.

Although Li Qinglu was angry, she also knew that he was from the Song Dynasty, and he was afraid that he would not stay in Xixia for a long time. This matter was left unresolved.

After a few simple words, Li Qinglu went to another hall.

Chen Xuan stood waiting outside the palace gate. He originally planned to wait for her to come back before going back to play new tricks.

Unexpectedly, after a quick glance, I suddenly noticed a familiar figure flying past on the roof of the main hall not far away.

"Tong Lao?"

He raised his eyebrows, naturally he would not stand so stupidly.

After finding some excuses, he walked directly to the corner, jumped up, and chased after the Tianshan Child Elder.

The Tianshan Child Mother passed quickly on the ridge of the hall, and in the blink of an eye she jumped into a courtyard.

Chen Xuan followed her quietly.

The number of guards in the palace has obviously more than doubled.

In the courtyard, four guards came from east to west, followed by four more guards from the west.

Eight people patrolled across the area, and there were almost no blind spots.

And looking at the physical appearance and temperament of these eight people, it is obvious that their martial arts are not weak.

Chen Xuan stood on the eaves, watching the Tianshan child's grandmother hiding in the corner without saying a word, deliberately wanting to see what this girl wanted to do.

Not long after, there was a brief gap in the imperial guard's inspection.

The Tianshan Child Elder quickly rushed into the courtyard and jumped into the palace wall.

When I entered another courtyard, another patrol came over.

There are so many masters in this palace, if they discover his whereabouts, they will stir up a hornet's nest.

Not to mention Tianshan Tonglao, even Chen Xuan had to stay away.

Tianshan Child Mother obviously also knew the danger of sneaking into the palace. She jumped into the courtyard like a kitten and stopped moving or making a sound.

Chen Xuanzheng felt strange. He did not expect that four more people came out from behind the courtyard wall and patrolled past quietly.

These four people appeared so suddenly that people never expected that there would be someone hiding in that corner.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows secretly for a moment, thinking to himself.

"You actually know the time when the secret guards are patrolling? It's not in vain that Child Elder and the Crown Princess have been in love and killed each other for so many years."

After the four people had gone far away, Tianshan Child Elder poked her head in from the alley in the corner of the yard.

There are high walls on both sides of the alley. It is actually a gap between the two palaces, not really a straight road.

Thanks to her careful thinking, she was able to find such a route.

After passing through this narrow passage, she crouched in a peony bush for a moment, waiting until eight imperial guards passed by and passed through a large rockery.

This rockery winds to the north and stretches for fifty or sixty feet. It is a large-scale mountain scenery.

Every time Tianshan Child Elder walked a few feet, she would secretly mark the right time to stop and hide.

Soon after each hiding place, there would be imperial guards patrolling by, as if the Tianshan boy's grandmother was the manager of the imperial guards.

She knew exactly where someone was patrolling and when a guard was passing by.

Thanks to her, Chen Xuan followed her and did not alert the patrolling guards.

After walking like this for half an hour, I saw that the surrounding buildings were obviously much smaller and simpler, and there were obviously fewer patrolling guards. In the end, they were almost gone.

Tianshan Child Mother walked quickly towards a large stone house on the left front.

In front of the stone house was an open space without any cover. If you walked too slowly, you might be discovered.

She took a breath, jumped up and dodges in front of the stone house, and quietly hid inside.

Chen Xuan waited for her to enter before drifting in. He saw that the walls of the stone house were made of green strips of stone and were unusually thick.

The gate is made of a row of eight original pine trees cut into half and nailed together, making it look particularly heavy.

Just now, the Tianshan child's grandmother hid in, but the wooden door happened to be not closed tightly.

A burst of cold air seeped out from inside the door, like a puff of white smoke.

"icehouse?"

Chen Xuan's heart moved and he continued to move forward.

The design of this ice cellar is quite strict, and there are several doors inside. The innermost door is exposed to cold air all year round.

There was already a thick layer of frost on the door.

At this moment, the door has been opened a few feet, and a cold air rushes towards the face.

"Did you get injured?"

Although no blood was seen along the way, Chen Xuan knew that the Tianshan Child Lao was running in a hurry when he saw the door that had not been closed in time.

Pushing the door open, you will be greeted by a narrow passage.

The closer we got inside, the colder the air became, and soon we saw a large block of ice all around, a large block of ice cut squarely.

Chen Xuan didn't bring any fire tips, so he could only go in based on his feeling.

After walking not long, he noticed a flickering fire reflected on the ice.

The firelight jumped from blue to red, which was very beautiful.

Chen Xuan's heart moved and he followed him quietly.

After walking around the ice cellar a few more times, he walked down the stone steps and reached the second floor.

Chen Xuan thought that it was almost done here, but he didn't expect that the fire was still going forward.

He chuckled and shook his head. He didn't know for a moment whether he should say that the Tianshan Child Elder was cautious or too cautious.

In this way, we walked all the way to the third floor, and there was another large stone room, which was also filled with ice cubes like the previous ice cellar.

The Tianshan Child Mother put the fire on the ice cubes aside and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She had just fled all the way here. Not only had she gone deep into the inner courtyard of the palace alone, she had also easily avoided the eyes and ears of all the experts.

It seems very easy at first glance, but in fact it is extremely energy-consuming.

Even if she sneaked into the palace several times to find trouble for Li Qiu Shui, every time she sneaked into the palace like this, she still found it extremely thrilling.

After she breathed a little less, she jumped forward a few steps with her right foot, intending to find a cleaner place to sit cross-legged to heal her injuries.

Unexpectedly, she just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard the faint voice of a man behind her.

"Tong Lao, why are you fighting like a cat? Where did you get injured?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, she suddenly felt stiff and looked back almost numbly.

I saw a young man dressed as a bodyguard sitting on the steps.

His smile was bright, but Tianshan's child's heart sank to the bottom of his heart.

"Chen Xuan?!"

"It's me."

Chen Xuan smiled brightly.

Tianshan Child Elder took half a step back unconsciously.

"When did you follow?"

"It's pointless to ask these questions. Child Lam, you made it so hard for me to find you. Why did you leave me and run away halfway?"

"...There's nothing to throw away. Didn't I take your kid to enjoy it?"

Tianshan Child Elder changed the topic and frowned.

"Looking at what a bitch you are, you must be living a comfortable life these days. Can you still blame grandma now?"

"How can Chen blame Tong Lao? It's too late for me to express my gratitude to Tong Lao for her kindness."

"That's it. I'm slightly injured now, so it doesn't matter. You go find your own fun, don't stay here."

"Tong Lao's words are so true."

As Chen Xuan said this, he stood up with a smile and walked down.

When Tianshan Child Elder saw him coming, she felt a little scared.

Chen Xuan didn't want to but flashed the Qibao ring on his hand, suppressed his smile a little, and said lightly.

"I treat you with kindness, Child Elder, please don't let me feel cold again."

While he was talking, he couldn't help but lean over and take a look at the Tianshan child's leg injury.

Although Tianshan Child Elder felt that he was dishonest, when she saw him showing off the Seven Treasures Ring, she couldn't help but think of Wu Yazi, and she couldn't fall out with him for a while.

Chen Xuan took a look at her first, but couldn't see any symptoms for the moment, so he had to roll up her trouser legs.

At this glance, the wound on her calf was extremely hideous, as if someone had knocked her off the cliff and caused such a severe fall.

The Tianshan Child Elder frowned when she saw that he was looking carefully.

"Does your kid also have medical skills?"

"No, I just saw how beautiful Tong Lao's legs are and want to take a second look at them."

Hearing this, Tianshan Child Elder was so angry that she almost lost her temper.

However, even though Chen Xuan was joking, he didn't dare to delay. He pinched his sword fingers and used a strong force to tap several acupuncture points to help her temporarily stop the bleeding.

Tianshan's child grandmother saw that he was very good at acupuncture points, so she knew that he indeed had medical skills.

But her leg injury was not the most serious at this time, she sighed softly.

"The leg injury doesn't matter. Chen, if you are sincere, you might as well protect me. I'm worried that that bitch is going to chase me."

Chen Xuan's heart moved, "Bitch? What bitch?"

The two of them had just finished speaking when they heard a subtle sound like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

"Senior sister, senior sister, where are you hiding? My little sister misses you so much, why did you arrive at her home and not come out to see her? Isn't that too out of touch?"

The voice was extremely soft, but every word could be heard clearly and clearly. It was obviously an extremely clever method of transmitting sounds across thousands of miles.

Looking at this posture, who else could it be if not Li Qiushui?

Tianshan Child Elder's face suddenly turned pale. Her skills were far from being restored, so naturally she couldn't beat her.

When she was frightened, she couldn't help but said "ah" and ran towards Chen Xuan.

It was this panic that made Li Qiu Shui outside hear the movement.

Before the Tianshan Child Elder could react, a woman in white slowly walked down the steps of the ice cellar.

Chen Xuan looked back and saw that the woman in white was slender and graceful. Her face was covered with a piece of white silk, so her face could not be seen clearly.

But when I heard her call her "Senior Sister", she also sounded coquettish and coquettish, which was extremely annoying.

When Chen Xuan followed her eyes and looked at Child Lao, he saw that the expression on her face was one of panic and anger, with a hint of undisguised contempt.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Tianshan Child Elder hid behind him and said anxiously.

"Hurry up and run away with me!"

Chen Xuan paused and then said, "...there's no rush."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Child Elder was so frightened and angry that she slapped him with her hand and said in a trembling voice.

"This bitch is chasing me. She wants to harm me! Didn't you see it?"

Before Chen Xuan could speak, he heard the woman in white cover her face and chuckle.

"Senior sister, you still have this temper when you are old. You always force others to do things they don't want to do, and you beat and scold them. What's the point? My little sister advises you, it's better to be polite to others."

If an ordinary person saw the two of them at first glance, they would feel that they came from the same family, but their temperaments were completely different.

Especially Li Qiu Shui, his words were very gentle and reasonable.

To be fair, if Chen Xuan didn't know what she had done, he would really think that Li Qiushui was a very good woman.

How could Tianshan Child Elder not hear that she meant to be sarcastic?

But at this moment, she was afraid of being caught and tortured by Li Qiu Shui, so she hurriedly tugged at the corner of Chen Xuan's clothes and said.

"Good boy, hurry up and leave me. Get as far away from this bitch as possible. Grandma will definitely not forget your kindness in the future, and you will be rewarded heavily."

Chen Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and whispered, "How much does it weigh? Is it as heavy as committing yourself to it?"

As soon as these words came out, even though the Tianshan child elder hurriedly ran for her life, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She never expected that Chen Xuan would be so bold.

Li Qingshui stood calmly and calmly in the distance, his white clothes floating in the air, looking as if he were an immortal.

She didn't seem to hear Chen Xuan's joke and just said:

"Senior sister, we sisters have not seen each other for many years. Why are you not happy when we meet today, but you want to leave in a hurry? My little sister thought that the past few days were the happy days for you to rejuvenate. I heard that you have taken over a lot of people under your command in recent years.

Jiang Hu Ke, my little sister was afraid that they would take the opportunity to rebel, so she went to the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace to look for you in person, wanting to help you, but she couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to come looking for me?"
