Only Yu Wen Haoxuan, who looked tense, and Xue Chun, who was sobbing softly, were left in the room. Xi Qian was still unconscious, her face turned red and white, and she moaned in pain from time to time.
After a while, Yu Wen Haoxuan said quietly, "You should go out too." Although Xue Chun was unwilling in his heart, he had to obey the order and turned around reluctantly as he walked.
The room suddenly became quiet. Yuwen Haoxuan looked at the pale Xi Qian quietly, with a hint of worry in his dark eyes. The sky gradually turned dark, and Yuwen Haoxuan sat in front of the bed without moving.
Xuechun walked into the inner room with the decoction in hand. When he saw Yuwen Haoxuan in front of the bed, he paused and blinked hard. When he looked up again, the scene was just like when she left. Xuechun thought that he must have been dazzled just now.
Oh, she actually saw the emperor crying?
Xuechun put down the decoction and stood in the room for a while, but Yuwen Haoxuan never said a word or even raised his eyes. Xuechun felt that it was unnecessary and retreated to the door, turned around and walked out.
The room fell into silence again. After a long time, a faint sigh came from Yu Wen Haoxuan's mouth. At this moment, the majesty of the king in his body had already retreated completely, leaving a sad look on his face.
On the bed, Xiqian opened her mouth and rolled her eyes slightly, as if she was about to wake up. Yuwen Haoxuan finally let go of his tense face, tested her body temperature and called Xuechun into the room, but he was busy
Everyone left silently.
Xi Qian's illness meant she couldn't get out of bed for several days. The doctor only said she was worried and depressed, but Xuechun couldn't figure out what she was worried about and depressed. She couldn't help but want to ask several times, but every time
After seeing Xi Xian's miserable expression, he couldn't bear to make her sad again.
Liu Maolin came to check on Xi Xian's condition several times every day, asking about everything from his diet and daily life to his mood changes. However, Yu Wen Haoxuan had not shown up for several days, and Xi Xian did not deliberately ask about his affairs.
, often sent Liu Maolin away with just a few perfunctory words. After a few days, even Xuechun felt that there seemed to be some problems between her and the emperor.
In the afternoon, Xuechun held his nose with one hand and held a bowl of dark decoction in the other hand. When he walked into the inner room, he saw Xi Xian sitting in front of the dressing table, doing hairpins. Xuechun put down the bowl in his hand and took the
The jewelry on the dressing table was measured one by one on Xiqian's head.
"The princess has been sick for so many days, and she is finally in the mood to dress up today."
Xiqian just smiled indifferently, shook her head at the jewelry that Xuechun picked up, and finally picked a light green one among the colorful velvet flowers and inserted it in her hair.
Xuechun looked at Xi Zhi in the mirror and said, "The princess is beautiful and looks good in everything. It's so hot outside now, and the princess feels much cooler when she is dressed like this."
Xiqian didn't ridicule Xuechun like usual, she just stared blankly at her face in the mirror. After a long time, she stood up and said, "It's a little cold in the house, let's go for a walk on the street."
"Then, please go and tell Eunuch Liu first. The emperor will be worried if he can't find you." Xuechun said and turned to leave.
But Xi Qian said coldly behind her, "If you want to go, I'll leave first."
Xuechun stopped and looked at Xiqiu timidly. She knew that Xiqiu would definitely keep his word. Although he failed Liu Maolin's instructions, he could only take care of the present first.
Walking on the bustling street, Xi Qian felt that everything was incompatible with her. She wanted to let her cold body warm up a little with the joy of others, but it seemed as if a hard shell had formed on her body, separating herself from the outside world.
Completely isolated, I can only curl up in my own bleak little world and become even more bleak.
"Look how fun this is, let's sell it!" Xuechun begged Xi Qian holding a small figure made of painted pottery in his hand.
Xiqian didn't say anything but just nodded. Xuechun happily chose from a bunch of little people, and finally bought two. He raised one of them to Xiqian and said, "This beautiful lady in the red dress is you."
." Then he raised the other one and said, "This extraordinary young master is the emperor??? or the young master!"
Looking at the two small painted pottery figures in Xuechun's hands, Xi Xian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she reached out to grab the young master, but the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded behind her.
Xiqian looked back, but she didn't see anything clearly before she felt a pain in the back of her neck. In her last consciousness, she only remembered Xuechun's exclamation and the feeling of her body being lifted up into the air. Before she fainted, she saw the ball in Xuechun's hand.
The painted pottery man rolled to the ground and was trampled to pieces by the horse's hooves. He wanted to reach out to grab it, but his eyes were completely dark.
Xuechun chased the horses for several miles, and in the end he could only watch helplessly as several fast horses flew away. Before disappearing, he threw a letter to Xuechun, which read: "Personally signed by Yu Wen Haoxuan."
' Seeing that it was impossible to chase the horse, Xuechun quickly picked up her skirt and ran back to the general's mansion.
Yuwen Haoxuan's expression became heavier as he looked at the letter in his hand. Liu Maolin scolded Xuechun in a low voice. Xuechun lowered his head and cried without saying a word of defense. Yuwen Haoxuan gave them a cold look, and Liu Maolin immediately fell silent.
Xuechun was told to go out first.
"It's Habudan. He wants me to go alone to redeem the sage." Yuwen Haoxuan said and handed the letter to Liu Maolin.
After Liu Maolin quickly read the letter, he balled up the letter angrily and said, "Your Majesty, you cannot go into danger alone. Let your servants do it for you."
"No, if I don't go to Xiqian, my life will be in danger. Habudan has always been evil-minded and ruthless. If he is pushed to the limit, he will be ruined."
"But if the emperor goes, won't he fall into his trap?" Liu Maolin reminded nervously, he would not let Yu Wen Haoxuan be in danger alone.
Yu Wen Haoxuan patted his shoulder lightly and was about to offer words of comfort when Xia Zizhao walked in from the door and said, "Let me go. If you have something wrong with you, the whole Jiang Kingdom will collapse."
"Let me go. You have no less burdens than the Emperor. I am the only one in my family, and I have nothing to worry about. It's easy to talk about anything." Liu Maolin stood in front of Xia Zizhao, saying that he was the most suitable candidate.
"You all should stop arguing. This matter happened because of me. If I hadn't had people reveal the news about Habudan in Yangcheng to King Zuo Xian and King You Xian, he wouldn't have been forced to kidnap Xi Qian.
Come to blackmail me." Yuwen Haoxuan waved his hand so that the two of them could say no more, and took out the topographic map near Yangcheng and studied it carefully.
Liu Maolin looked at the map and smacked his lips anxiously, "The Fengyang Slope agreed by Habudan is on a higher terrain, and there are no trees around it, so we can't ambush people at all."
"In this case, there is no need to alarm the army. I will go up Fengyang Slope alone to hold them back. You and Zizhao will lie in wait a little further away and act upon my signal." Yuwen Haoxuan raised his head and looked confident.
Xia Zizhao looked at him, frowned thoughtfully, and wanted to say something, but in the end he just moved his lips slightly and looked down at the map on the table.
