Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 359 I, Respect Her (4)
"This is not a time for etiquette, Shaoxian doesn't have to."

Xiao Shaoxian didn't make any gestures, stood up, saw Ling Xihan who was beside Xiao Tingxuan, and curled his lips in surprise and understanding.

"In the past, I heard that the princess of Changle went to Yunzhou, but she didn't want to involve Su Tongzhi's death. This incident caused an uproar in the court. But I didn't expect the princess to be so smart and so easy to resolve it and turn the crisis into safety. I admire." He said words of praise, but there was a mocking smile in his eyes.

Ling Xihan really wanted to smash his smiling face.It really deserves to be the genes of the royal family. Not only does it look evil, but it is also so smooth-tongued, no wonder it can please so many women.This Xiao Shaoxian is a well-known playboy in Kyoto, with a hundred flowers that never touch her body, and a noble family background, combined with this gorgeous face like a peach blossom, how can she not make women fall in love with her?

Even if the heart is as peaceful as Qiao hopes to return, isn't it unavoidable?
Thinking of this, Ling Xihan's eyes suddenly sank.

Xiao Tingxuan saw her expression in his eyes, and without explaining, he said to Xiao Shaoxian, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Xiao Shaoxian immediately restrained his cynical smile, and his face returned to calm and solemn, without any flamboyant attitude of a playboy.

"I've found it." He took out something from his pocket, and Ling Xihan squinted over it, and saw that what he was holding in his hand was a black token about three inches long and two inches wide, with a tiger's head carved on it , blue-faced and long-toothed, looked a little frightening under the morning light.

Ling Xihan's heart was shaken, not for anything else.Only because that token is the one stolen from Prince Gong's mansion, which can command ten thousand soldiers and horses of the left-wing general.

She looked at Xiao Shaoxian with serious eyes, her eyes were deep and clear.

Xiao Tingxuan's low voice sounded next to his ears, "I'll tell you about this later."

Ling Xihan's eyes moved, and the trace of displeasure in his heart suddenly dissipated invisible.Luo Tianxiang had already walked over when Xiao Shaoxian arrived, and he knew the inside story of the conversation after hearing it, but seeing the interaction between Ling Xihan and Xiao Tingxuan, he felt a pain in his heart again, so he turned his eyes away and let the morning wind blow On him, the heavy sadness spreading in his eyes could not be blown away.

Xiao Tingxuan put the soldier talisman in his palm, took out another black token from his bosom, and summoned Chi Lian.

"Call out the left and right wings of soldiers and horses, and wait at the foot of Yuyang Mountain, ten miles outside the capital, to wait for orders."

Chi Lian received two tokens, "Yes!" Then he disappeared into the jungle.

Xiao Shaoxian clasped his hands and said: "The minister has been out for a long time, it is inevitable that people will find out, so I will take my leave first."

"Shaoxian" Xiao Tingxuan called out, Xiao Shaoxian paused and turned around.

"What orders does Your Highness have?"

Xiao Tingxuan looked at him, Shen Lian's phoenix eyes were like a bright mirror, shining directly into Xiao Shaoxian's heart.

"Have you ever complained about your mother?"

Xiao Shaoxian was startled, pursed his lips, then took a deep breath and said, "I dare not."

"Don't dare or never?" Xiao Tingxuan's phoenix eyes suddenly cleared, and he looked at Xiao Shaoxian a little aggressively.

Xiao Shaoxian's eyes froze, and he clenched his fists tightly. After he calmed down, he said: "I used to... hated it." He raised his eyes frankly, and looked at Xiao Tingxuan, neither avoiding nor retreating.

Xiao Tingxuan suddenly smiled softly, "Go."

Xiao Shaoxian nodded and left. Behind him, Ling Xihan looked at his back going down the mountain, thoughtfully.

Along the way, Ling Xihan remained silent and did not speak.Xiao Tingxuan looked at her face bathed in the sun, her eyes were as penetrating as blue waves and clear springs, and as deep as a thousand-year-old well, making it hard for people to see the deep emotions in her eyes.

He frowned and said softly, "Shaoxian..."

"He's not Prince Gong's son, is he?" Ling Xihan interrupted him just as he spoke, with a sharp light in his clear eyes.

Xiao Tingxuan's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

"Ah."

Ling Xihan pursed her lips, and said, "Who is Pan Gui?"

Xiao Tingxuan walked on the path with his hands behind his back, his voice didn't fluctuate.

"Her mother is from Carefree City."

Ling Xihan was startled, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So she is an insider planted by Ouyang Hen?"

Xiao Tingxuan didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

Ling Xihan looked away and said, "Then... where is Zhao Xinyue?"

Xiao Tingxuan's footsteps paused slightly, as if he was thinking about how to answer.Ling Xihan didn't urge him, but also stopped, looking at him silently.

After a long time, Xiao Tingxuan said: "Do you know what opportunities and conditions are needed to break the barrier of Wuyou City?"

Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, while Xiao Tingxuan's gaze moved into the distance.

"You've heard the story of Fairy Qionghua, right?" His wandering eyes moved to Ling Xihan's face, and there was a light of special meaning in his gentle eyes.

Ling Xihan looked at him with pursed lips, and clenched her hands unconsciously.Those eyes were dark and clear, like a ray of wind shrouded in mist, helpless and sad.

Xiao Tingxuan felt a pain in his heart, and there was an invisible layer of pain and sadness in his eyes.

"The story spread by the world is quite different from the facts." He moved his eyes to the distance again, watching the morning glow rise and the fog clear away.

"It is said that Fairy Qionghua was dissatisfied with China and Japan being trapped by the rules of heaven, so she stole the Queen Mother's jade hairpin and slipped down to the mortal world. People have been involved in constant emotional entanglements." He said that he looked straight into Ling Xihan's eyes, the eyes were clear and clear, mixed with a little dark light, which almost made Ling Xihan suffocate, she asked subconsciously.

"And what about the scholar?"

Xiao Tingxuan suddenly smiled again, "Scholar?"

I don't know if it's just an illusion, but when Xiao Tingxuan mentioned the word "scholar", a dark light flashed across his eyes very quickly.It just so happened that a ray of sunlight shone through the branches, allowing Ling Xihan to truly see the gloom and irony buried under the deep ancient story.

"Fairy Qionghua fell in love with General Xiao, but was opposed and hunted down by the elders of law enforcement in the heavens. In order to be with her beloved, Fairy Qionghua did not hesitate to remove the fairy bones, self-destruct her cultivation, and live forever. Originally, they could We depended on each other, but unfortunately, things backfired." Xiao Tingxuan closed his eyes when he said this, with a sigh and depression between his brows.

"Since the Qionghua Fairy entered Beijing, she has been the most beautiful in the world, attracting countless men to love and chase her, including Ouyang Min, the young patriarch of a century-old family. In troubled times, there are constant disputes in the world. Almost every year there will be friction wars with neighboring countries. General Xiao is also from a century-old family of generals. He went out with his father when he was young. He has won countless wars, big and small, and is known as the "God of War". The day I met Fairy Qionghua was the time when General Xiao was hunted down by the enemy on his way back from a great victory. General Xiao was seriously injured and was rescued by Qionghua..."
