"Then I'll leave first. Please take care of yourself. What if?"
Xiqian was confused when she heard it, but she was warned not to ask any more questions, because the answer must be something she couldn't give.
"Jieyu???" Fan Tao's voice came from not far away, Xi Xian hurriedly pushed Xia Zizhao behind the rockery, "You hide here for a while, and then come out after I send her away."
"Jieyu, why are you here?" Xi Xian came up to Fan Tao as soon as she walked out from behind the rockery, "Wang Zhaoyi is here, please come out and take a look."
"What did she come for? How many people did she bring?" Xiqian's heart tightened. Although she knew that the conflict between Wanyun Palace and Lanchi Palace was inevitable sooner or later, she didn't expect Wang Baoluo to move so quickly.
"They said they came to express their condolences to Empress Zhaoyuan, and the servants didn't dare to stop her. However, Wang Zhaoyi came alone, not even Eunuch Liang. She is probably already in the mourning hall now."
"Alone? Fantao, you go deal with it first, I'll be there later."
"Why don't you go there with me?" Fan Tao said, looking behind the rockery intentionally or unintentionally.
Xi Qian blocked her sight and said, "You go there first, I still have some things to do."
Fantao bowed and left, and Xia Zizhao walked out from behind the rockery with a worried look on his face, "What are you doing here, Wang Baoluo? Let me go and see with you."
Xi Qian stretched out her arm to stop him, "No! If you let her recognize it, it will be troublesome. Not only will it implicate me, I'm afraid Haoxuan will also be implicated by you."
"But what if she makes things difficult for you?"
"No, she came alone. How can I embarrass her with so many people here? You go find Haoxuan so that he doesn't have to worry. I can handle it."
"Then be careful." Xia Zizhao hesitated and looked in the direction where Fan Tao disappeared, "The palace maid just now seems to have some skills, you'd better be careful."
"Are you sure?" Xi Qian frowned slightly. If it was true as Xia Zizhao said, then the suspicion in her heart would be confirmed again.
Xia Zizhao smiled confidently, "I'm not sure, it's just an intuition, but my intuition is always very accurate."
"Okay, I will be wary of her." Watching Xia Zizhao disappear into the night, Xi Qian stood there for a long time, until a gust of night wind hit her and she suddenly shuddered.
When they returned to the mourning hall, they saw the palace people kneeling on both sides of the mourning hall, not even daring to breathe. Wang Baoluo sat motionless in front of Li Zhaoyuan's memorial tablet. Xi Qian motioned to Fan Tao to be quiet and quietly entered the mourning hall to stand.
On one side.
Suddenly Wang Baolu chuckled twice, "Sister, haven't you always wanted me to recognize you as my sister? Now you got your wish, but you can never hear it again."
Although Wang Baoluo was laughing, there was sadness in the laughter. Xi Qian looked at her back and intuitively felt that she must be bursting with tears now. What kind of emotion is this? When she was alive, she fought to the death, but if it really happened
Parting but sad to say goodbye.
Xiqian waved her hand silently, causing the palace attendants kneeling on both sides to retreat. The mourning hall immediately became empty, leaving only her and Wang Baoluo.
"Sister, I have actually admired you since I was a child. I admire your heroic appearance on a horse and your power when wearing silver armor. So as long as you know what you know, I will learn it, and I will follow what you do."
Wang Baoluo smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But after all, I am my father's only daughter! Why am I not as good as you in everything? Why does everyone only see your excellence and ignore me? Others don't care.
Even my father and brother are like this, so I hate you! I vowed to trample you under my feet. Today you died, but I am still alive, so in the end I won, I won! Hahaha??
?”
Wang Baoluo laughed like crazy, but in the end it turned into crying.
Xiqian also felt that her nose was sore and almost shed tears, but Wang Baoluo stopped crying at this moment, stood up and straightened his clothes. When he looked back at her, except for his eyes which were slightly red, there was no trace of crying.
signs.
Xiqian was stunned for a moment, then saluted Wang Baoluo and said, "Thank you very much for coming to express condolences. There is no resurrection after death, so please don't be too sad."
Wang Baoluo glanced at Li Zhaoyuan's memorial tablet and smiled like a flower, "I am sad? Which of your eyes can see that I am sad?"
Xi Qian lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I came here to express my condolences. It is natural that I am sad to remember the deceased. If I am mistaken, please forgive me."
Wang Baoluo glanced at her contemptuously, "Of course you may have misunderstood. I just want to come here today to see if your Wanyun Palace can still be as arrogant as before."
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Wanyun Palace has never been so arrogant. If you want to compare with your Majesty's Lanchi Palace, I'm afraid it won't even be one of the top ten." Xi Qian raised her head and faced Wang Bao without showing any signs of weakness.
network of eyes.
Wang Baoluo snorted coldly, "Are you saying that I am arrogant?"
"Your Majesty, you heard wrong. I never said that." Under Xi Xian's tough gaze, Wang Baoluo actually felt a bit at a disadvantage.
"Okay! I like you to be so eloquent." Wang Baoluo smiled instead of getting angry, "But there are so many eloquent people in this palace, how long do you think you can be proud of yourself?"
"It doesn't matter how long the concubine can be proud of. The concubine has just been favored and naturally has plenty of time to plan. But you are different. It has been a long time since the emperor called the empress to serve you? The empress should think more about how she can be like before.
Just as proud."
"You???" Wang Baoluo was furious but knew that every word Xi Xian said was true, "You don't have to be proud. It's said that flowers can't last for a hundred days, and a person can be famous for a thousand days. I want to see if you can continue to do that."
proud."
Wang Baoluo fluttered his sleeves and left, and Xi Xian said respectfully with a smile, "Madam, please go slowly, I will see you off not far away." Wang Baoluo turned around and gave her a venomous look in return.
It wasn't until she returned to Sumeng Pavilion that Xi Qian felt her legs and feet were a little weak. If Wang Baoluo had really slapped her with a reckless palm just now, she might not be able to resist.
Xi Qian sent the palace attendants who were serving her out and sat alone in front of the window. The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the window was dark, as if a big mouth was about to swallow people up at any time.
She was a little scared, but she didn't know whether it was the dark night outside the window or the cold palace. Xi Qian forced herself to face it. Although her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, she still insisted on opening her eyes and looking at the bloody mouth in front of her.
, she must overcome the fear in her heart.
Xi Zhi looked out the window steadily, her heartbeat slowly calmed down as time went by, and the corners of her mouth unknowingly evoked a confident arc. Her wide mouth seemed to be frightened by her smile, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
