Pluto's Golden Apple

"See Princess Nine." The two guards guarding the gate saw that Princess Nine was coming, and hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me, is Concubine Xian in there?" Li Yao smiled innocently.The wedding day is getting closer and closer, and my heart can't help but jump, and I want to find someone to share the joy with at this moment.After much deliberation, Concubine Xian is the one she likes to talk the most. She is about the same age as herself, but she has an elder temperament that makes her feel at ease.

"Your Highness, Concubine Xian is inside, and His Highness the Third Prince is also inside, saying that they took the emperor's token and sent gifts from the Beizhi Kingdom to the empresses of the palaces."

Li Yao laughed, this Hu Xian knew how to make the emperor happy.I can't take the initiative to find him, I didn't expect him to meet me here.Thinking of this, Li Yao's face turned red again.

After Li Yao entered, she just felt a little strange, although there was no one here before Concubine Xian, but Tweet must be serving her personally, now Concubine Xian's bedroom is tightly closed, and there is no sound from inside.

She walked to the door of Concubine Xian's bedroom, and just about to open the door to enter, she heard Hu Xian's voice: "Huanrou, the chances of us meeting are too few, I must find a way to take you out of the palace, let's escape Okay? I don't want you to live in such fear. You have lost weight, you have lost a lot of weight, and there is no blood on your face, is it because they treat you badly? "

At that moment, like electric sparks and flints, it violently hit Li Yao's heart.Could it be...

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered why when she saw Hu Xian for the first time, she always felt that his mind was not on her.She also suddenly remembered that at the moment when Hu Xian took off the mask, both Hu Xian and Concubine Xian seemed to have some strange expressions on their faces, but she was also attracted by Hu Xian's appearance at that time, so she didn't see some things more clearly. for real.She always thought that it was an illusion, she thought that Hu Xian also cared about her, otherwise she would not have traveled all the way to propose marriage for her.

All the dreams of a young girl were trampled to pieces by that sentence, and she didn't know when she was trembling all over.

"Okay, I'm going to discuss with Qianyue now. She has high martial arts skills. I think we have a well-planned plan, so there should be no problem. It's just that this matter must be done before the big wedding, otherwise, let the nine princesses know, maybe we will both The head is gone."

Hu Xian's voice sounded extremely cold and sarcastic at this moment.Can't let the nine princesses know, otherwise they should all be decapitated?Listening to those words, Li Yao laughed at herself.

The door swung open, Jue Leng and Huan Rou raised their heads and looked at this side.

When had Li Yao ever seen Concubine Xian with such gentle eyes?In her memory, Concubine Xian is always gentle but somewhat alienated, and no one can see through her thoughts.But she was leaning on Hu Xian's shoulder at this time, and her eyes seemed to be full of tenderness and love.That look hurt Li Yao's heart.What about Hu Xian?Hu Xian's eyes were not as calm as he had seen before, but full of scorching heat.She felt that the scorching sight was about to burn her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, it seems that no one has ever embarrassed himself so much.Because no one has ever dared to offend me, so I feel angry. It turns out that the feeling of anger is that there is a raging fire in my heart that seems to burn me, and I am eager to yell and roar.

Jue Leng and Huan Rou were only slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down again.Having experienced too many storms, they may have long regarded life and death as ordinary, and it is beautiful enough to be immersed in the embrace at this moment.

Li Yao's face became livid little by little: "Hu Xian, don't you give me an explanation? You embarrass this princess in front of so many people, do you know how you will die? Even if you fight with your Beizhi country Arise, and I will seek my justice."

Huanrou frowned.It seems that it is true that Li Yao likes Jue Leng.Otherwise, a woman who hears and sees everything will definitely explode, and this princess, who has never been hit or frustrated since childhood, even held back her anger and asked her to give herself an explanation.

"You are my father's favorite concubine. Now you are leaning in the arms of a man. Do you know how miserable you will be if my father finds out?" Li Yao's face became more and more gloomy.

Just as Jue Leng was about to speak, Huanrou stood up and returned to her usual expression, gentle, noble, but alienated.

There was a smile on the corner of Huanrou's mouth: "I am his favorite concubine, but he is not my beloved. Back then, he threatened the lives of Lord Wang's family and forced me to stay in this palace. , it feels worse than death."

Li Yao was shocked by the aura of this woman, such words from the always kind Concubine Xian really shocked her.But she still felt shame, because not only was she betrayed, but her most beloved father was also betrayed.

"Okay, even if he has something to say sorry to you, do I have any? In the palace, I think I have the best relationship with you, but what are you doing now?"

Huanrou smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.At this time, there was a trace of sorrow and anger on her usually elegant and gentle face: "Do you think I robbed your beloved? But do you really know her? You don't even know her name." name."

Li Yao was completely stunned, is this Concubine Xian really the Concubine Xian she knew before?

Jue Leng felt sorry after all, indeed, Li Yao was innocent: "Princess Nine, I am not Hu Xian, the real Hu Xian was killed by bandits on the way to Huang Xie. I just happened to witness everything, when I I wanted to go to the palace to find her, so I pretended to be him."

This explanation didn't make Li Yao feel any better. She stared at Hu Xian gloomyly and said, "I don't care if you are the real Hu Xian or not. Even if you pretend for the rest of your life, I will not change if I recognize you."

Seeing her like this, Jue Leng felt very sad.

She hung all her bundled hair down, and opened her clothes, revealing a white corset.

Li Yao was stunned. She didn't expect that the person in front of her was not only deceiving her about her identity, but also about her gender.At that moment, she was too surprised to speak.

"Princess Nine, Jue Leng is not the person you are looking for. Princess Nine's happiness should be given by an excellent man. Jue Leng just wants to spend the rest of her life with Huanrou. I have offended Princess Nine so much before. I hope Princess Nine will forgive me. As for how the Ninth Princess will punish us, it is up to you, after all, we are sorry for the Ninth Princess first." The coldness is still the same as before, the voice is very soft, and the expression is very normal, as if life and death are really not important at all. .

What she used to be most obsessed with was this aura.If we say that we were curious about him when we met for the first time, then when we heard him playing the piano, our heart was already moved.When she heard what he said, she mistook it for herself, and she felt that it was the love she was looking for.But now, the temperament she is most obsessed with makes her feel cold all over her body.

The anger just now has basically subsided, and what is left is one surprise after another and shock after shock.The three of them were silent for a long, long time.

"You guys, did you know each other long ago outside the palace?" Li Yao said lightly, with indescribable disappointment in her voice.

"Well, we met a long time ago. We fell in love before she entered the palace. But my parents didn't allow it, so we were separated. It's all my fault. I came too late and made Huanrou suffer." Jue Leng His tone was full of annoyance.

Li Yaozai carefully looked at the woman with loose hair, and realized that indeed, as a man, she was too elegant and delicate, and even had a touch of charm, but as a woman, her appearance made him feel uncomfortable. I am ashamed.

Two such beautiful people, but such a rough fate.

Li Yao sighed: "You know that in this deep palace, it's easy to get in, but difficult to get out."

Jue Leng nodded: "I know, but as long as I'm with Huanrou, I won't be afraid of anything, so we thought about running away before the big wedding, so as not to hurt you, and if you know, Maybe we'll die here too."

Li Yao smiled, so running away before the big wedding won't hurt her?When it gets out that the son-in-law-to-be has escaped marriage, will outsiders think that he is not virtuous or virtuous?A love has not yet begun, and there are too many things to bear.

"Now, aren't you afraid that I will let you die here?"

"Don't be afraid, I've already seen her, so I won't be afraid of other things." Huanrou's voice was still very soft, but her expression was full of determination.

Li Yao sighed, she suddenly felt that she was really wrong.Indeed, as Concubine Xian said, why is he obsessed with this woman named Jue Leng?Maybe it's just her piano skills, maybe it's just her beautiful face, or maybe it's just the same noble aura on her body.I don't understand her at all, and my imagination of her is only my imagination after all.

Thinking back to the past, she once asked Concubine Xian what she loved about her father, and Concubine Xian was also evasive at that time. Thinking about it this way, maybe she is not the most pitiful person, but the two of them are.Two weak girls fell in love, but they were forced to separate, how difficult the road ahead would be for them.In the past, when I didn't know these things, I liked Concubine Xian very much.She felt that Concubine Xian was different from all other concubines in the palace, there was no desire in her eyes.Thinking about it now, in addition to the desire to be frozen with ice, there may also be the affection frozen by ice in those eyes.

"I will not report on you. In this matter, perhaps it is my father who owes you. Even if it is to redeem some sins for him, I am willing to help you escape. Without my help in this deep palace, you are It is impossible to run out, even if the maid next to you is strong in martial arts, she will be outnumbered in the end." Li Yao never thought that this was her own voice, but after she said these words, she was surprised .

Jue Leng and Huan Rou looked at each other, in Jue Leng's eyes there was anticipation and enthusiasm that he hadn't seen for a long time: "Really?"

Li Yao smiled and nodded: "I will make all the arrangements before the wedding ceremony. You can't tell outsiders about this matter, you can only tell your most trusted servants so that they can make preparations. Take care, I will notify you. Also, I don't care if your name is Jue Leng or Hu Xian, but at the moment you are the third prince Hu Xian and the prospective son-in-law Hu Xian, you can't stay too long in Concubine Xian's bedroom, This will make people suspicious. If you want to meet in the future, you can find someone to inform me, and I will find a way for you." After finishing speaking, Li Yao left without looking back, probably thinking that she should stay for a second longer , Maybe I can't convince myself anymore.

"Huanrou, will she really help us?" Jue Leng's eyes were full of joy. How long has it been since he was so happy?Probably since the memory was restored, I have never experienced this kind of joy again.

Huanrou looked at Jue and sneered. Indeed, from what she knew, Li Yao was at least a kind-hearted princess. If she said she would help them, she would definitely not break her promise.

"It's just suffering for Li Yao, what kind of reputation will she bear in the future?" Huanrou couldn't help sighing again thinking of this.Jue Leng was also brought back to reality from the joy by this sentence.

"We are sorry for her. I will always remember her kindness, and I will definitely repay her if I have the opportunity in the future."

Huanrou lightly stroked Jue Leng's hair. If it was said that she was still suffering from missing just now, then there was a little more tenderness at this moment. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I just want to hold her tightly in my arms.Jue Leng saw that Huanrou's expression also changed, that kind of crazy yearning brought a desire to conquer.

"Huanrou...I..." Jue Leng blushed.

"You should go back." Huanrou regained some of her sanity.Reason told her that it would be dangerous for Jue Leng not to leave, not to mention others, the two guards at the door would become suspicious.

Jue Leng sighed, of course she understood Huanrou's worry, so she stood up and said, "Okay, wait for me."

Huanrou pretended to send Jue Leng out of the palace gate, and still did not forget to smile slightly: "Thank you for the makeup from His Royal Highness, I really like it very much, I can't repay you, I just hope that your highness will not dislike the gift I gave you when your highness got married .”

"Don't dare, thank you for your mother's perseverance, then Hu Xian will retire first." Jue Leng also made a pretentious salute and left.

"Hey, tell me, why doesn't Her Royal Highness the princess go with the prospective son-in-law?" A guard guarding the gate looked at Jue Leng's back and murmured.

"Hey, isn't this simple? After all, Her Royal Highness hasn't left the cabinet yet, so I'm shy." Another guard replied with a smile.

"Have you noticed that Concubine Xian looks better today than before?"

"That's right, I also found that the empress is really beautiful when she smiles. It's a pity that she didn't like to smile very much in the past. It seems that this prospective son-in-law is quite good at making people happy."

Not only Huanrou's complexion has improved, but Jue Leng's complexion has also improved. I really hope that there will be no more troubles, and I will wish myself and Huanrou to escape safely.

Li Qianyue looked at Jue Leng's expression and swept away the haze of the past, and thought that seeing Huanrou would naturally make her feel better, so she couldn't help muttering: "I just met you once, and I'm happy to see you."

Jue sneered: "Qianyue doesn't know, the matter between me and Huanrou today was known by Princess Nine."

Li Qianyue was so frightened that she broke out in sweat: "Then, are we going to die soon?"

Jue sneered, Li Qianyue seemed to have never seen Jue sneer so happily in her memory.Her heart became a little colder again, could it be that the death is imminent, and Jue Leng is a little foolish?

"She is indeed very angry, but after I told her that I am also a woman, she might be very helpless, but she is also really good, willing to help Huanrou and me go out of the palace." Jue Leng smiled.

Li Qianyue said it was good, but she sighed in her heart.Jue Leng may not know what this means to a woman.He helped his fiancé escape, and also brought his father's concubine with him.Not to mention that Li Yao was able to bear the reputation of being a runaway marriage for her, but just preparing to bear the consequences of the emperor's wrath and disappearance of her beloved concubine is not brave and resolute that ordinary people can have.

It seems that I have always disliked her, and there may be another reason. She may have done more for Jue Leng than myself, so a lot of resentment arose.

"Okay, anyway, tell me what preparations you need to make, and I will definitely help you to the end." Li Qianyue looked a little sad when she spoke, but Jue Leng didn't notice this, she was only engrossed in being able to go out with Huanrou In the dream of the palace.

"Your majesty, my servant." Seeing the emperor coming, Cui'er quickly knelt down and saluted.

Recently, Li Yan felt that the palace was peaceful and festive, so he was very happy: "Okay, don't be too polite, how about your empress?"

"Your Majesty is trying out the powder brought by His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"Oh?!" Li Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling very happy in his heart. It seems that this prospective son-in-law is quite good. No matter what he sends someone to give Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian's reaction is very flat. With such an elegant spirit, he even tried the powder. Could it be that the powder of Beizhi Kingdom is really much better than that of Daqian?

"My concubine, are you so upbeat today?" Li Yan looked at Huanrou with a smile on his face.

I don't know if it's because the makeup powder from Beizhi Kingdom is really easy to use, or because I saw someone who I miss so much, Huanrou's whole demeanor today is not the same as before. At this moment, there is hope and look in her eyes again. , including the eyes, also have a little more luster.In the sunshine of autumn, it looks extraordinarily gentle and charming.

Li Yan was almost stunned at that moment.Such a beautiful person belongs to me, and when I think about it, I feel that I am really blessed.So the complacency became even stronger.

Huanrou was in the right mood. When she saw Li Yan coming, she suddenly couldn't tell what it was like. Too much happiness and a big blow came together, making her feel like she couldn't hold on anymore.

She only felt that her eyes were darkened, her body became weaker and weaker, and then she didn't feel any more.

Li Yan wanted to catch her, but it was too late, and she fell to the ground.Cui'er and Li Yan were both petrified.

"Imperial doctor, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!" Li Yan yelled, Tweety reacted and ran out.

"Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian, you have nothing to do, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?" Li Yan had never felt so flustered, so he had no choice but to support Concubine Xian and carry her to the bed.

After a while, the imperial doctor hurried in, his hat still not straightened: "My minister sees..."

"See what a fart, come here quickly!" Li Yan gave the imperial doctor a hard look, who was startled and hurried to the bed.

When he was taking the pulse for Concubine Xian, his brows kept frowning, as if there was something mysterious about the pulse.

"What's wrong with Concubine Xian, tell me quickly!" Li Yan was anxious.

"Report to the emperor, concubine Xian..." The imperial doctor's expression was disbelieving.
