"If the son doesn't believe it, you can try to send some unimportant things out tomorrow. My lord dares to conclude that even if you have a pass, they won't relax their investigation of you. Son, do you want to gamble with me?"
Listening to Gongsun Li's analysis one by one, Xu Shian only felt that the prince of the northern kingdom had a deep mind and couldn't help believing it. "So, you deliberately broke my official's clothes to ask the way?"
Gongsun Li was noncommittal. "If the prince said so, it's OK. Time waits for no man. Since the crown prince has made a move, the prince's impoliteness has really failed to live up to his Highness's kindness, don't you think?"
Gongsun Liyin measured Xu Shian's dark eyes with a sneer. They looked at each other. No one spoke again, but they both knew that the agreement was reached.
As soon as Xu Shian left, the wind and snow outside began to blow and howl.
When there was no one around, Gongsun Li turned slowly and walked to the side room where Yan Qiqi was placed.
The room was dark, and for fear of suspicion, there was neither a stove nor a candle in the room.
The north wind outside whimpered louder, and there was a loud crash of the window lattice. Gongsun Li's footsteps were very light, and the dim vision did not stop him. He walked to the edge of the bed in a few steps, bent down and gently tucked in the quilt corner for Yan Qiqi, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed.
Only when there was no one else, Gongsun Li would restrain the evil spirit of his whole body, and the whole person looked quiet and calm.
Looking at Yan Qiqi's sleeping face, sometimes even he couldn't understand whether he attached extra importance to her because she was Linlang's daughter, or because she was special and involuntarily attracted by her. When he couldn't restrain himself, he would take Linlang as a shield.
Time seemed to be at a standstill. Gongsun Li suddenly had a good feeling of years' stillness. He just looked at her so blankly that he didn't think he was wasting time.
However, he still had more important things waiting for him to do. He repressed his feelings. Gongsun Li leaned over, carefully wiped her face, gently smoothed the scattered hair, and after doing all this, he pulled out her arm from the bedding, spread out her five fingers, and took out the dagger he carried with him, Gently cut a small opening in her little thumb.
Something creepy happened!
Dead people don't bleed, but Yan Qiqi is different.
The little thumb that had just been cut open was squeezed by Gongsun Li with his fingers, and the bright red blood trickled down along the blood mouth. Finally, Gongsun Li sprinkled medicine powder to stop the blood.
Gongsun Li caught the blood in a bottle and didn't leak a drop.
But the color looks black, just like ink.
Then, her hand was put back into the quilt again. Gongsun Li lowered his head and looked at her quietly for a long time. The hot breath sprayed on her face. Yan Qiqi's face was like a deep sleep without any reaction.
Gongsun Li endured again and again. Finally, he couldn't resist. His head dropped lower and lower. Slowly and gently, he dropped a kiss on Yan Qiqi's cold forehead.
……
Hao lianche had just returned to the Chaolu hall, and an internal servant came and told him that the envoy of the state of Yan asked for a meeting. Jing Shu followed Hao lianche behind him. Before Hao lianche spoke, he stopped first.
"Your Highness, is Xu Shian too good at picking time?"
Everything is complicated. Yan Qiqi is gone again. Although his highness looks no different from usual, Jing Shu knows that his Highness's character is like this. He is so cold that people can't see his inner emotions. In fact, he bears more than anyone.
"Your Highness, I'll push it for you."
Now is not a good time to see Xu Shian. If your highness shows her true face at this moment, all her previous efforts will be in vain.
Unexpectedly, Hao lianche stopped Jingshu's way, "no, since others have provoked the door, if the palace retreats again, it will lose momentum in vain?"
Jingshu couldn't understand what he said. He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, what provocation? I remember you didn't reveal your true identity, and you didn't have a close enemy with Xu Shian. How could you... "
Hao lianche smiled coldly. His words made people feel colder than the white snow outside. "How can there be no near hatred? Look at this."
In front of Jing Shu's eyes is the rag the size of the nail cap just taken out by Hao lianche from the prison. There are fine grains on the royal blue robe. Jing Shu recognized it at a glance, "this..."
"Interesting. What's more ridiculous is that I have no evidence to prove that he kidnapped 77. Therefore, even if he doesn't come today, I will go to him."
Jingshu also wanted to stop, "but in this way, don't you want to meet each other?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm wearing a veil. He can't see it at a distance."
Summoning the eunuch, he soon took Xu Shian to the hall.
According to the etiquette, the envoys of Yan did not have to kneel down to anyone except the emperor of the northern kingdom. Therefore, Xu Shian only slightly bent down when he arrived at the Chaolu hall and did not kneel down.
Jingshu and Hao lianche take a look at Xu Shian's clothes and shrink their eyes at the same time.
At this time, he was wearing a royal blue robe. There was a hole the size of a nail cap three inches from his knee.
Is this a provocation, or does he really not know?
Xu Shian didn't seem to understand why the prince kept staring at him and didn't speak. He looked down at his clothes. "Your Highness, why are you staring at me so much, but what's wrong?"
Hao lianche responded quickly, and his eyes immediately withdrew. "Lord Xu was worried. The palace thought that Lord Xu looked particularly natural and unrestrained in his clothes, so he looked more. Yan country has a vast territory and rich resources, especially weaving, which is very famous in the whole continent. Is the green bamboo on Lord Xu's clothes Suzhou embroidery?"
Just before entering the palace, Xu Shian, after Gongsun Li's advice, felt like a mirror. Now that he knew Hao lianche's purpose, he had more numbers in his heart and answered calmly, "Your Highness is really knowledgeable. It seems that in those days of Yan state, your highness didn't neglect learning."
