Breaking through the sky again

"Oh, it's really you, you're really here!"

Princess Anle followed Xiuxiu's voice to find her figure, called out, jumped briskly into the threshold, and walked towards her quickly.The wide sleeves and skirt filled with the wind, fluttering like a butterfly.

"Hey, be careful there are teacup fragments on the floor, don't prick your feet." Xiuxiu saw that she was walking in a hurry and didn't look carefully at her feet, so she hurriedly reminded her, her nasal voice was very heavy, she took out her handkerchief and blew it.

"Oh, oh" she just noticed, avoiding them under her feet, then frowned and complained: "The eunuchs on duty here are too lazy, they don't even clean up!" Then she came to Xiuxiu's side, and called again: "And you, Bao Xiuxiu, why are you staying alone in this ghost place in the middle of the night? Still kneeling? Who made you kneel? Is it Brother Huang? What's wrong with you, did you provoke him?" She While asking a series of questions, he stuffed the lantern handle into the hand of the maid next to her, and reached out to grab Xiuxiu on the ground, "Get up!" and told the maid to light up the lamp, saying that it was so dark and frightening.

When they came in with lanterns, they already alarmed the palace guards watching the yard. At this time, they hurriedly lit all the candles in the room according to their words, and the hall instantly became bright.Princess Anle suddenly saw the wound and blood on Xiuxiu's face, and screamed again: "Ah! Your face! How did you do it!"

Xiuxiu suppressed Princess Anle's supporting hand, and didn't move—she couldn't move for a while.

"It was the emperor who asked me to reflect here. I... I made a mistake."

"What's wrong! No matter what's wrong, get up and talk first." The princess insisted on supporting Xiuxiu, but found that her legs couldn't move at all, so she called the maids who followed her to stand up Xiuxiu from left to right, Sit down on the chair.

Xiuxiu grinned, gasping for air hissingly, and slowly straightened her almost unconscious legs.Princess An Le squatted beside her legs, watching her in pain, stretched out her hands to touch her knees distressedly.

"Oh--"

Just after rubbing it, Xiuxiu let out a scream.The princess withdrew her hands immediately in fright, and asked cautiously, "Does it hurt?"

Seeing that she was frightened, Xiuxiu hurriedly used a smirk to drive away the painful expression, "Hey, no, a little bit, a little bit."

Lele didn't know that she was comforting herself, she stood up and pouted, "Then how long have you been kneeling here?"

Xiuxiu thought for a while, "It's only a day."

"One day? Just pay it off!" Princess An Le yelled again, "Do you know that if you kneel for a long time, you will die!"

Alas——Xiuxiu felt emotional in her heart, the king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had no choice but to die. If the minister did not die, what would happen to the minister's family?Xiaobao, Liu Fei, Ruyi...there are dozens of them, so they can't be implicated by her.

"What serious crime have you committed? Brother Huang wants to torture you like this? Doesn't he know that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated!"

"That's right!" Xiuxiu nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic, "That's all, it's better not to kill me, I haven't lived enough yet, hehe..."

"You can still laugh!" Princess An Le stomped her feet, and continued to complain about Xiu Xiu, "No, Brother Huang is too much! I'll go to him to argue! No! I'll go to the Queen Mother to complain!" Then she turned around in a hurry.

Xiuxiu hurriedly leaned forward and grabbed her, "Hey—Princess, don't go, it's all my fault."

Princess Anle burst into tears suddenly, turned around and hugged Xiuxiu from the side, tears falling on her head.

Xiuxiu patted her hand, "What's the matter? Don't cry, alas——" When the delicate and soft girl cried in front of her, pity and the desire to protect surged in people's hearts—probably her It's because the man has been pretending for a long time.

Lele sobbed: "Wen Bizheng, why are you always so nice? So kind? You're already like this, and you're still thinking of others..." Woohoo, how can this make her think of other men?

Xiuxiu froze, let go of Lele's hand and slowly lowered it, she smiled wryly, "Don't think so well of me, this time... I'm not kind, it's really my fault..."

"Then after talking for a long time, what did you do wrong?"

Xiuxiu was silent for a while, although she felt ashamed to speak up, she still had to face the matter, "Lele, I'm sorry for you. I... broke up your marriage..."

"Ah?——" The princess was dumbfounded, "What is my marriage? Who am I married to?"

"You and Liu Fei! Don't you like him? The emperor wants to give you a marriage, but I... didn't agree."Seeing Princess Anle's surprised look, Xiuxiu felt even more guilty, "Lele, I did something wrong to you, you must hate me. But... a scholar has been in the cold for many years, in order to get a title on the gold list and become an official in the imperial court. A career. If Liu Fei can't fulfill his ambitions, he will be unhappy all his life, and you will not be happy. Princess, if you really like him, can you..." Xiuxiu wanted to say, let him go, but then Feeling cruel, is it because she is a princess that she should let go of her own happiness?She couldn't go on.

"Hehe...hehe...that's ridiculous!" Princess Anle laughed dryly.

"Yeah, it's ridiculous..." Xiuxiu murmured to herself, who set so many rules and regulations that hinder women from pursuing the life they want?A proud girl like Lele was not spared, and she herself fell into these rules and became the one to hurt this young girl. She bit her lip with self-blame and contradiction, "Lele, you blame me It should be..."

"I mean your words are ridiculous! Who said that I like Liu Fei and want to marry him?"

ah?Xiuxiu was stunned, didn't she?When visiting the garden yesterday, Lele mentioned Liu Fei a few times, and she really admired it. Later, she said that she wanted to keep him in the garden for medical treatment. Was it because she liked him?But she has always been outspoken, she can't lie to me, and she doesn't need to lie to me.Xiuxiu was puzzled, "Then you, yesterday..."

Princess An Le sat down on another chair, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and rolled her eyes at her, "Please, what did I say yesterday that caused your misunderstanding? Is Liu Fei some kind of treasure? He wants to be loved by everyone, I see, only you are rare!"

Xiuxiu became embarrassed, "You know everything again? Did someone tell you?"

"Hmph! For someone as smart as me, do you need someone else to tell you? I can't see anything!"

In fact, back then she felt that Liu Fei's attitude towards Xiuxiu and herself was not quite right, but at that time she thought that Xiuxiu was a man, so she didn't think much about it.But after these few days, what else can she not figure out?

"So, I like Liu Fei? It's nothing, let him be a consort? It's a big joke in the world--I told you, the queen mother and the emperor's brother promised me to make up their own minds about the marriage, and I didn't." What you heard must be nothing! This time, did you hear clearly? Are you relieved?"

"Oh..." The heart that had been hanging for more than a day finally let go, Xiuxiu said with gratitude and sincerity: "Thank you, princess" - although there are still many things she can't understand, for example, if she doesn't recruit a son-in-law Why did the emperor lie to her about this matter?Since his objection did not affect the happiness of the princess, why was the emperor furious with her?

Princess Anle sighed, and gave Xiuxiu the hot tea that the palace servants poured just now, but Xiuxiu didn't show politeness to her, and took a sip of it.Her lips were so dry that she couldn't even speak with her tongue.The princess soaked the handkerchief with water again, gently supported her chin with one hand, and wiped the dried blood on her face.Xiuxiu looked up at her, and suddenly asked: "Princess, how do you know I'm here?"

"The emperor asked me to come."

"Oh...the emperor, did you say anything?" Xiuxiu asked cautiously.

Princess An Le rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "He asked me to tell you that if Liu Fei doesn't become a son-in-law, you will have to enter the palace as a concubine. There are two paths, you choose one."

"What!" Xiuxiu was so surprised that the teacup almost dropped.The emperor also said that Liu Fei's wish to marry her was whimsical, and he himself was even more absurd!To save Liu Fei and put himself in it?No, she would rather die than obey!

Xiuxiu froze for a long time in a state of confusion, and suddenly found that Princess Anle was covering her mouth and laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe, only then did she realize that the princess was teasing her.

She stroked her chest and complained helplessly: "Princess, this kind of thing can't be joked about!"

It is said that you are not joking, but the two brothers and sisters she met, how can they talk as they please?

The princess smiled and had enough fun, and then told her the truth, "Brother Huang just told me that you might be here, let me take a look, and didn't say anything else."

"Ah? Didn't say anything, so what should I do?"

Xiuxiu couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so she held her head and felt worried, but Princess Anle guessed her emperor's brother's thoughts clearly.Her elder brother was out of his mind and sighed all day because he got angry with Xiuxiu yesterday.He regretted punishing Xiuxiu, but there were no steps to go down, so he vaguely ordered her to come over as a peacemaker to clean up the aftermath. Since she was asked to come instead of someone else, he must have guessed what she would do.

Princess Anle smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Whatever you have to do, you can do whatever you want, for example, if you are hungry after dark, then go home to eat and rest ~ Bao Xiuxiu, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn , when I came, the doors inside and outside were open, but you were stuck here for a day and a night."

Xiuxiu asked in disbelief: "You mean, can I go?" But even though she didn't have the emperor's approval, she had the princess "backing her up", and her longing for returning immediately began to stir.

"You don't believe me?" Princess An Le simply called the gatekeeper to ask, she stared at him with a smile and said, "Hey, this princess is going to take her bag and leave now, you won't object, will you?"

The eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, and lowered his hands to reply: "I don't dare. Long live, I sent someone to pass the oral order last night, and Bao Xun was ordered to do things in the palace. If she finishes her work and wants to leave the palace, no matter when, anyone Don't stop it."

Xiuxiu was dumbfounded, was the crime of cooperating with her for this day in vain?

Xiuxiu's knee was seriously bruised and she was unable to move. Princess Anle ordered someone to drive her back in her own car, and then alarmed the guests living in the guild hall. How much honor is this?However, no one dared to be overly envious. After all, one of the two came back lying down, and the other was limping.Envious of other people's glory, you have to think about whether you have the life to bear it.

When Xiuxiu helped her into the yard, Ruyi was coming out of Liu Fei's room with an empty medicine bowl.

"Ru Yi", she greeted.

Ru Yi raised her head and saw her, her expression relaxed, and she let out a long breath, "Xiu Xiu, you're finally back."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open from the inside, and Xiaobao poked his head out from the room, "Er Niang, what are you talking about? Is my mother back?"

Ru Yi smiled and moved away, "Look."

"Big brother—"

When Xiaobao saw Xiuxiu, he cheered and rushed towards her, "Why did you take so long to come back?"

Xiuxiu has a knee injury, how can she withstand the ejection of a "human bomb" as big as Xiaobao?With an ouch, he fell back and sat on the ground, his waist, hips, and knees ached everywhere.But this day, she thought that she would never see her son again. At this moment, even the pain on her body became the joy and joy of escaping from death.She hugged Xiaobao tightly, "You miss your mother, don't you?"

"Yeah..." Xiaobao didn't get up either, and stayed in Xiuxiu's arms, "I've been waiting for you, and while I was waiting, I took care of Uncle Liu with Erniang."

"Good boy!" Xiuxiu held his little head and kissed him big.

"Ouch~ It's been so long since we haven't seen each other in a day. Mr. Xun Press and the eldest son sat on the ground and chatted." Ru Yi joked with a smile, handed the tray to Si Duan and took Xiao Bao's hand. Hands pulled him up, but it was very difficult for Xiuxiu to get up.Ru Yi frowned, in fact, she felt strange just now, she had never seen Xiu Xiu being thrown down by someone.

"Sister, what's wrong with your leg?" She looked at Xiuxiu carefully by the light from the window, and exclaimed again: "Ouch! Why did you scratch your face?"

"It's okay, don't be surprised." Xiuxiu supported Xiaobao's shoulders and stood up straight. Just as she said something, there was a loud noise in the room, as if something had fallen over.Xiuxiu's expression froze, "Is Liu Fei alone in the room?"

"Oh! Ah Fei!" Ruyi was reminded by Xiuxiu, and immediately turned around to go back to take care of her, but hesitated to help Xiuxiu.

"Oh, why are you dawdling, why don't you hurry up!" Xiuxiu pushed her and urged her, ignoring the pain in her legs, she helped Xiaobao limping and followed quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Fei on the ground next to the bed, struggling to get up. It turned out that the sound just now was Liu Fei falling from the bed.Surprised and delighted, Xiuxiu rushed over to hold Liu Fei, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did you fall off? Get up quickly!" While talking, she and Ruyi helped him back to the bed, and sat on the head of the bed . "You finally woke up, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" She touched Liu Fei's forehead again, "Oh, I still have a little fever, but it's okay, just drink a few medicines, hey, You don't know that you've scared people to death these two days! By the way, when did he wake up?"

Xiuxiu's brows and eyes were full of joy, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say first, what to ask, but Liu Fei didn't answer a word, her eyes flickered, roving on Xiuxiu's face, seeing the wound on her face, it was even more painful. Stared for a long time.Xiuxiu was a little embarrassed by his stare, and was about to raise her hand to cover it, when Liu Fei's eyelids suddenly dropped and then raised again.

Then he smiled slightly, "Who are you?"

Xiuxiu was stunned by the question, but after a while, she felt her body was cold and her heart sank.

"Afei..." She tentatively called softly.

Liu Fei kept the smile just now on his face, and didn't respond to his name.

Xiuxiu slowly turned her stiff neck, turned her head to look at Ru Yi, hoping she would give her a negative answer, but Ru Yi sighed sadly and nodded to her.
