Luo nine needles

Chapter 117

With Princess Xuanwen's departure, this family affair was revealed.

Although the emperor was still sad, he had no choice but to deal with the accumulation of state affairs, but when he talked to the officials, he mentioned Prince Changping and couldn't help crying.

"I was wrong, I will not take children."

The officials sighed and persuaded each other, talking about the children in their families, the ones who went to the roof tiles, broke their legs while riding a horse, and caught fish and fell into the river everywhere.

"Children are like this. It has nothing to do with whether they will bring them or not. There are always various disasters. It is very lucky to grow up safely."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Prince Changping survived this catastrophe, and he will be safe and worry-free in this life."

After talking some words and discussing a few court affairs, the officials all knew that they had retired early, and no one came to bother them anymore. The empress in the harem also sent someone to pick up the emperor, telling His Majesty not to work hard and go back to the palace to rest.

The emperor accepted his wife's kindness, and dragged his tired body out of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty's face." The eunuch who accompanied him sighed, with a distressed look on his face, "When the emperor is really not pure every day."

The emperor is still surrounded by old people from back then, and he speaks and does things a little casually, as if he is facing the sixth prince from back then.

The emperor didn't care either, he was happy to feel the old times occasionally, or to be entertained, or to be inspired.

"It's not a good thing when the emperor's heart is pure," he said.

"Master Huo is too." The eunuch continued to sigh, "He didn't even say hello."

The emperor smiled wryly, and looked down at the stain on his cuff, which was just now when he knelt down to Princess Xuanwen and wiped away his tears.

"It was really a surprise." He sighed.

The eunuch snorted: "It's because His Majesty indulged Dudu Huo too much. He is getting more and more courageous and dares to do anything."

As he spoke, he looked around again.

"It's good for him, he walked away by himself, leaving His Majesty in a state of distress."

"Things like this are not something he can handle. It's even more embarrassing for me not to leave and stay here to make noise." The emperor said, stretching out his hand to press his forehead, "Let's go."

The eunuch sighed: "Look at what he did!"

The emperor stretched out his hand to press his forehead and walked slowly.

That's right, Huo Lian did a really good job on this matter!
It's so good, it's so good, the emperor put his hand on his forehead and walked briskly.

When it was dark, Liang Siwan also got up from the bed.

"Is the governor back?" she asked.

She is Huo Lian's favorite pet, ready to welcome the return of her master.

The maid hesitated and said, "I'm back."

I'm back, why hesitate?Liang Siwan glanced at the maid.

"The governor has gone to the front yard again." The maid said hastily.

The front yard is the Duchasi. Huo Lian's errands are often day and night, let alone go out after returning home, and there are many times when he is called away in the middle of the night. Why hesitate?
Liang Siwan glanced at the maid again.

The maid looked a little flustered, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what do you want to eat? The kitchen has prepared your favorite steamed meat."

Liang Siwan didn't look at the maid again, she hummed, she didn't quite understand why there was any reason to panic, what could be going on in this empty house with no people or ghosts?

In the dark prison cell echoed faint sorrow, and even the bright torches were covered with a layer of grayness, which seemed real and unreal, more like the world and more like ghosts.

But in addition to mourning, there was also enthusiastic talking and laughing in the cell today.

"Captain, you must not have imagined how quickly this injury heals."

"The medicine that my old Sui Xin concocted is really miraculous when taken internally and externally."

"I can guarantee that in two days she will be up and out of bed."

Ever since Dr. Sui saw Huo Lian, his voice has not stopped.

Hearing this, the jailer interrupted him and said, "Captain, according to your reminder, I have put her in chains."

Huo Lian hummed, and looked at the girl on the bed, she was indeed wrapped in several chains.

"Captain, she." Doctor Sui spoke again, but this time he was caught and dragged out by the jailer.

"Captain, we are waiting outside, you can give us your orders whenever you need something," said the jailer.

After all, he dragged Doctor Sui out.

"What are you doing?" Doctor Sui complained, "I haven't finished yet."

The jailer glared at him: "What did you say?"

"It hurts." Doctor Sui said.

"Can't the governor read it himself?" The jailer scolded, "It's noisy."

Doctor Sui was annoyed: "Why is this noisy? This young lady's injury is very strange, I can't understand it without explanation."

The jailer glanced at him: "Noisy."

The dispute between the two was isolated outside the cell, and the inside was silent.

Huo Lian looked at the girl on the bed. He didn't need the doctor to go into details. He could tell that she hadn't seen her reborn in a few days. The fine wounds all over the place had healed, and her pale face became clear. Wrapped in wound cloth and heavy chains, she was like sleeping. The baby bird in the nest is safe and sweet.

Huo Lian sat down beside her, her eyes fell on Qixing's arms.

The six-foot sword lay quietly.

Ever since Qixing rushed to fetch the sword dripping with blood that night, and Huo Lian handed the sword to her, the Liufoot Sword has never left her these days.

At first she held on to it, fell into a coma, her hand was as stiff as iron, and then she could let it go, but as soon as she took it away, she became restless, so Huo Lian let the sword stay by her side.

"It's a good medicine to heal wounds." Dr. Sui agreed very much.

Good medicine, Huo Lian stretched out her hand and pulled the six-foot sword out of the iron chain. How could a heavy and cold sword be good medicine?It is a murder weapon.

The face of Princess Xuanwen rang in his ears.

"Is it really not sad at all when you touch a child?"

Questions echoed again.

It was especially harsh in this gloomy and unpopular cell.

Huo Lian sneered: "What's so sad about that?"

Born as a prince to enjoy the royal glory and wealth, of course he has to bear the dangers brought by the glory and wealth.

What happened to the child?
He could even cut off the head of his adoptive father.

"What's so sad about this!"

There seemed to be voices in the cell again, not Princess Xuanwen's sharp female voice, nor Huo Lian's faint sneer, but an old man's stern voice.

The flaming torches jumped, burning the dim shadows into a human form. This man was tall, with white hair messily spread on his broad shoulders.

"Liang Bazi—" His voice swept through the cell like the wind, "Listen to me—"

Huo Lian raised her head and looked at the void.

"You are loyal to the emperor and protect the country, for the peace of the world, for the orthodoxy, what you do is justified, you have nothing wrong, and you don't need to be ashamed."

"Liang Bazi, raise the sword in your hand!"

Huo Lian raised the six-foot sword, slowly pulled out the scabbard, the flames jumped down, and the sword body exuded a faint light.

"What are you still doing!"

"Chop—"

Huo Lian closed her eyes, and the six-foot sword fell on the back of her hand. The blade instantly cut through the flesh, and bright red blood dripped down.

Qi Xing, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, opened his eyes.

"Why did you cut yourself again?" she asked.
