It took a long time before he said the last sentence, "The poison that dad lost killed your mother, and Xiaoye also died from the poison you gave. Can we make it even?"
Unfortunately, the last two sentences were too soft and were blown away by the wind near his lips. Xuan Jinmo didn't hear them at all. He only heard Tong Xiaoye's somewhat suppressed and faint crying.
A woman who is only sixteen years old still doesn't know how to hide her feelings perfectly, especially when she is drunk and has no one she loves in front of her, guarding her drunken brother who is sleeping on the street.
Momentarily helpless.
Xuan Jin silently stopped in the distance. Perhaps the two Tong brothers and sisters had drunk too much and did not hear the faint sound of horse hooves. In fact, in the faint cold wind, the sound of horse hooves was almost swallowed up by the wind and mixed with it.
There was some rushing sound of running water under the bridge, soaked in the night atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, Tong Xiaoye also became a little tired and took a nap while watching Tong Hua'an, who was already drunk and asleep.
"Princess." A respectful voice sounded, "Why are you here? Please get in the carriage."
He was Xuan Jinmo's confidant. A carriage from Xuanfu parked quietly beside Tong Xiaoye.
Tong Xiaoye looked at the man with a respectful and obedient expression in a daze. He didn't react for a while, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "How did you find this place?"
"It's what the prince ordered. The prince went out to return to the mansion. When he didn't see the princess, he asked his subordinates to go out and look for her. When they passed by, they saw the princess here. General Tong was escorted back to General Tong's mansion by his subordinates. The princess could go back in a carriage, and so did the coachman.
The family will take care of the princess's safety along the way." The confidant replied in a respectful tone.
Tong Xiaoye felt a little dizzy, so she responded and took the man's hand to get into the carriage.
Watching the man return and lean over to help Tong Huaan up, he vaguely saw another carriage behind him, which was also the carriage on Xuanfu. He half-supported and half-carried Tong Huaan into the carriage behind him, and drove towards the direction of General Tong's Mansion.
go.
After sitting down in his carriage, Tong Xiaoye felt weak. He closed his eyes and rested against the carriage. Hearing the faint sound of wind and the sound of horse hooves in his ears, he felt a little depressed.
"Madam, are you awake?" It was a familiar voice from Junzi, who asked a little worriedly and cautiously, "Do you want a slave to help you freshen up?"
Tong Xiaoye wanted to open her eyes, but she felt her eyes were sore, so she kept them closed and said lazily: "What time is it?"
"Your Majesty has already had breakfast and is talking to General Tong." Kuanzi said softly.
Tong Xiaoye opened her eyes instantly, sat up suddenly, and stared at the startled Juanzi, "My eldest brother is already here? Are you here to pick up Jinyan?"
Junuzi subconsciously covered her chest and whispered softly: "Yes, madam, what's wrong with you?"
Maybe she got up in a hurry. Tong Xiaoye felt like stars were appearing in front of her eyes, and it was getting dark. Her ears were buzzing, her chest felt tight, and her heartbeat was very fast. It took her a long time before she murmured: "I want to get up."
"Yes." Junzi looked at the pale Tong Xiaoye, responded softly, and stepped forward to help Tong Xiaoye out of bed, "Slow down, madam, you don't look good. When you came back yesterday, the master was very angry. Today
I asked Miss Mingyue to come and have a look early in the morning, and then I heard that you were still drunk, so I asked Miss Mingyue to tell the slave that you are not allowed to drink without the master's permission, and you are not allowed to step out of this courtyard again."
"Who?" Tong Xiaoye asked with a dazed expression and a somewhat casual tone.
Junzi looked at Tong Xiaoye and said softly: "It's Miss Mingyue from the original residence. She is back to serve the master again. She came back from Xiluan Pavilion yesterday. The master said that she will serve the master for the time being."
Tong Xiaoye felt that the depression in her chest was getting worse. She lowered her head. After a while, she took a long breath and said lazily: "That's all, wait for me to wash up. I want to go to the front to see my brother."
After washing up and changing clothes, Tong Xiaoye walked slowly towards the front hall. Junzi said that Xuan Jinmo and Tong Huaan were talking in the front hall.
While I was washing up, I already remembered what happened last night. It seemed that I drank too much with my brother at Wangyue Tower. Then, it seemed that my brother fell asleep on the way. Then, it seemed that when she was about to fall asleep, Xuan
Jin Mo's cronies showed up and took away her brother and asked the family's carriage to take her back to her. She had no memory of what happened next.
"Princess." A voice rang from the front.
Tong Xiaoye raised her head and saw Mingyue. She had lost a lot of weight, and she was still dressed as she had been in the mansion. With this thinness, her eyes became bigger and bigger. She looked pitiful, but she suddenly thought of the fake Mu Ruokun and her
Regarding the relationship and the misunderstanding caused, I felt a little ups and downs in my heart. Without saying anything, I nodded lightly and continued to move forward into the front hall.
Mingyue said nothing and followed behind, her footsteps so light that she could hardly hear them.
Surprisingly, Xuan Jinyan was there too, with his head lowered and his expression unclear, but he looked depressed and sad, with no attempt to hide his unhappiness.
Tong Huaan looked a little haggard, but still polite.
"Brother." Tong Xiaoye called softly, walked to the chair opposite Tong Huaan and Xuan Jinmo and sat down, "I just woke up, brother came very early."
Tong Huaan smiled and said, "You drank too much last night. When I woke up this morning, my parents scolded me, saying that they knew you were not in good health, but they still let you drink, and they scolded me:
If there is a next time, you will definitely skin me."
Tong Xiaoye smiled covertly. Tong Ke knew the poison in her body, but he had never thought of a good diagnosis and treatment strategy, so he kept putting it off, "It's rare to have a chance to drink, so once in a while, it doesn't hurt."
Xuan Jin coughed silently, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone: "At least you two have to consider that I am still sitting here. If you want to have sex with me, you have to wait until you are no longer brothers and sisters in the next life. Xiaoye, shouldn't you be here when you come in?"
Say hello to me first?"
Tong Xiaoye felt that Xuan Jinmo's words were a bit harsh, but they were familiar to her, but she couldn't remember why they were familiar for a while. She frowned, but immediately smiled and said: "Brother should be a guest in the house when he comes here, so
I say hello first, I don’t mean to ignore the prince."
As he spoke, he said to Tong Huaan, "Brother, are you here to pick up your sister-in-law?"
"Yes." Tong Hua'an smiled faintly, "We were discussing with Jin Mo. Jin Yan is reluctant to leave, but my uncle said that my aunt is unwell and cannot take care of Jin Yan for the time being. Jin Yan can only choose one place here or at the border."
"Jinyan." Xuan Jinmo called out calmly, "Have you thought about it?"
Xuan Jinyan hummed like a mosquito, not sure whether he agreed or disagreed.
Xuan Jinmo frowned and said indifferently: "Mingyue, pour some tea. Xiaoye hasn't had breakfast yet, so I'll excuse you."
