The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 199
Having said so much, how could Li Huai not know who Xi Lan's hexagrams were for?

The expression on his face dimmed, and it was very different from when he came in just now.

After a moment of silence, his voice became hoarse, and he replied: "No need, this king... still wants to enter the palace!"

Such an answer is like a simple one-line answer.

But the listener understood that there was a distance between life and death, which made Xi Lan feel a little heavy.

Knowing that it might be a farewell, Li Huai decided not to see each other. In the heart of this noble prince, there is a strong sense of fear of parting between life and death.

Seeing that he was really going to the study to pretend to be busy with other things, Xi Lan asked him again: "Won't you regret it in the future?"

Li Huai remained silent and did not answer.

In his heart, he was actually very afraid to answer this question.

After a long time, he said calmly, "You want to enter the palace with me, so don't delay any longer!"

Xi Lan didn't say anything else, she never had any hatred for Ning Wanzhui, and even, deep down in her heart, she still admired this woman very much!

So she hoped that Ning Wanzhu could have a good death.

Soon, she was ready and entered the palace with Li Huai.

Because the situation in the western region cannot wait for others, they must leave as soon as possible, and even miss the emperor's birthday, so they have to enter the palace to greet the elders.

The carriage stopped outside the Nangong Gate, Li Huai sat in the carriage absent-mindedly and forgot to get off.

Xi Lan turned her head sideways, saw his drooping face, seemed to feel his mood in her heart, and asked softly, "Li Huai, are you feeling bad?"

Li Huai turned his head slightly to look at her, and once vowed in his heart that he would not let her notice anything, only to realize that he couldn't do it.

In the carriage, he moved his body, gently held Xi Lan in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Xi Lan, this king is very uncomfortable, I'm sorry!"

"If you don't feel bad, then you are not Li Huai!" Xi Lan didn't feel that he should apologize to herself.

As a person of flesh and blood, is it wrong to feel uncomfortable when faced with these things?

How sad was she when she heard the news of Zi Xuyuan's death?Isn't it also Li Huai who accompanied her in the search outside the city?
Even now, people are still sending people out to inquire.

At this moment, it's just all over again, they have switched positions!

She gently raised her hands and hugged Li Huai in her arms.

Didn't say anything, just about the same.

But as long as such a simple action is enough, it has given Li Huai enough support.

After a long time, Li Huai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Shall we go down?"

"it is good!"

Only then did the two slowly get down from the carriage. At this moment, Li Huai had calmed down all the discomfort on his face, and turned back into that gentle and calm prince.

"Prince Xu, Princess Xu enters the palace!"

After the father-in-law's high-pitched communication, Li Huai and Xi Lan appeared one after the other in the magnificent hall of the West Palace.

This is the first time for Xi Lan to go to the innermost hall of the West Palace. Usually when she enters the palace to pay her respects to the queen, it is always in the outer hall.

So Xi Lan soon discovered the brilliantly blooming snow orchid in the center of the palace. This kind of flower is extremely difficult to grow, and there are so many in the Queen's Palace, she couldn't help being amazed.

"The sons are for the emperor, and the queen mother pays her respects!"

Nalan's head injury has not healed, and she is lying behind the bead curtain, only a figure can be vaguely seen in it.

The emperor sat outside and waved to them: "Excuse me! I'm leaving tomorrow, there should be a lot of things to deal with, so I don't need to enter the palace to delay it if I don't have a call!"

The emperor's attitude towards Li Huai has always been gentle and loving, such an attitude is very rare.

Apparently because of the affairs of Princess Chaoyang, a large part of the blame was given to Li Huai. Among them, the queen also made a lot of stalks.

Li Huai nodded unhurriedly in response to 'yes', and then replied respectfully: "My child has already dealt with most of the official affairs in his hands, and some unfinished tasks have also been handed over to several relevant adults. The first thing to do when entering the palace today is Come to bid farewell to father, queen mother, and queen mother, and then, present a detailed list!"

Li Huai has always done things safely, and he listed out the details of the city's reconstruction a few days ago.

Xi Lan accidentally read some in the morning, just the detailed book in his hand, it took the whole night, surrounded by all kinds of troubles, he forced himself to calm down, and meticulously completed what he was supposed to do , This attitude, she appreciates and supports.

The emperor asked the imperial father-in-law to take it over, and he was not in a hurry to check it in the hall, but said: "An also invited, and the chapter was submitted, so let's step down!"

Li Huai still hesitated for a while. When he was parting, his father was so impatient to see him, he felt somewhat lost!

"Your Majesty, Huai'er is going to the western region tomorrow, but you should say a few nice words for Huai'er to practice!" As a queen, Nalan's posture of being the mother of the world has never been less, such a face can't help but Heart, nothing could be more normal.

The emperor listened to Nalan's persuasion, his expression changed a little, looked over, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will live up to my expectations!"

"Your servant must do his best!"

After all, there was no longer any reason to stay, and the two withdrew.

Leaving the West Palace, one has to go to the Empress Dowager's Xianghe Palace.

Li Huai walked ahead calmly, Xi Lan looked at his tall and powerful back, and could easily feel his frustration.

"Li Huai, Royal Father is not really angry with you!"

Hearing her voice, Li Huai stopped and waited for her to approach, and heaved a long sigh. "How can this king not know the situation of his father at the moment?"

Knowing that there are many difficulties in going to the western region this time, the emperor is also well aware of Nalan's methods, so he snubbed Li Huai in such a way that he wanted Nalan's to give up his guard against Li Huai and show mercy.

"Then why is the prince lost?"

"It's just that I know my father's love for this king, but I still let him down!"

Xi Lan refuted him very bluntly, "You seem petty to belittle yourself like this."

"Yes!" Li Huai was helpless, she really made him a little ashamed when she said it so bluntly.

However, at this moment, he feels fortunate that at least no matter how difficult it is, there is such a persistent woman by his side.

"Xi Lan!" He took her hand lightly, and had something to say.

"Ok?"

But in the end, he hesitated to speak and shook his head, saying perfunctorily: "It's nothing, let's go see the Queen Mother!"

The two brought their attendants and arrived at Xianghe Palace soon.

The difference is that at this time, the empress dowager, who was supposed to chant scriptures and send the Buddha to the Buddha, did not. She was sitting in the main hall holding the cat named Bell and waiting for something.

"Queen Mother, Prince Xu and Princess Wang are here!"

The queen mother nodded, and heard the voices of two people coming in to say hello.Both of them knelt down and gave a big gift to the old ancestor.

"Get up!" She said kindly, "I heard that Huai'er is going to the western region tomorrow, girl, do you want to go with me?"

Xi Lan looked over and nodded without concealment.

Originally, it was very taboo for a female family member to accompany such a major national event, but the Empress Dowager smiled again when she got her affirmative answer.

"Okay, it's really similar to Ai's family back then." After finishing speaking, she asked Mammy to bring a box that she had prepared a long time ago, which seemed to be a gift for Xi Lan.

"This is the Buddhist scripture you copied for Ai's family a few days ago, and now Ai's family sewed it into a book and gave it to you!" The queen mother did not ask the nanny to pass it to her, but beckoned her to go.

Xi Lan stepped over and picked it up with both hands.

The Empress Dowager sat on the carved chair, looked at her face, and said softly: "You should keep this Buddhist scripture alive. You don't need to open it to read it until you return to Beijing!"

She didn't know what it meant, but the Empress Dowager was a person of great wisdom, she would not pretend to be clever, so she obediently agreed.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and then gave some instructions to Li Huai before allowing them to leave.

According to the usual practice, we finally arrived at Luxi Palace.

Speaking of which, the past few days have been busy with various things, Li Huai went to the palace every time, but he never had time to come and see Concubine Yu.

So during the journey into Luxi Pavilion, Li Huai quickened his pace.

I have long heard that her son is coming to pay his respects, Concubine Yu has already combed the most suitable chaise bun for her, and is waiting in the sky blue dress that best suits her complexion.

She also prepared all kinds of delicious cakes for them. Hearing the announcement from the father-in-law outside the hall, she couldn't wait to welcome them. The two of them saluted according to the etiquette in the palace. She was willing to help Xi Lan up with one hand.

"No need, our third mother is the only one in the palace, come in and talk!"

When Xi Lan heard the title 'Niang San', she was deeply moved. Her biological mother never said that to her, did she?
Moreover, she used to have a deep grudge against this woman who killed innocent people, but what she saw in her eyes at this moment was just a woman who loved her son like her own life.

First, Concubine Yu Gui and the two ordered many things to go out, and then Concubine Yu said other things.

"Huai'er, a woman from Jinhua is going to the western region with you. She may feel uncomfortable during the journey. You should take good care of her."

Li Huai replied naturally and obediently: "My child knows, mother and concubine, please rest assured."

Concubine Yu Gui nodded in relief, looked at Long Xilan, and sighed: "Jin Hua, you are a smart child. You have worked hard on this journey. With you by his side, I believe that you can overcome all difficulties together. !"

"The child will remember what the concubine mother said."

At this time, it was just in time for lunch.

Concubine Yu Guifei cooks for them herself and cooks their specialty dishes, which can be regarded as practicing for them.

The three of them sat down, during which time Li Huai and Xi Lan ate again, Concubine Yu smiled to see that the two were full on the grounds that they were not hungry.

Concubine Yu said, "Huai'er, why don't you make a pot of filial piety tea for your mother and concubine?"

Li Huai has always been very particular about drinking tea, and is even more exquisite in tea art, but he rarely does it himself.

Hearing his mother's words, he immediately stood up and responded, and turned around to order the people below to prepare tea sets.

Seeing him go out, Xi Lan's expression, which was still smiling just now, suddenly changed.

"Mother, how long has it been?"

Hearing her question, Concubine Yu looked a little sluggish, turned her head, and asked pretending not to understand: "Jin Hua, how long have you been asking?"

"How long has the concubine been unwell?"

Concubine Yu Gui smiled lightly, spread her arms, and showed her the gorgeous robe. "Concubine Mu is so energetic, why do you think Concubine Mu is unwell, Jin Hua?"

"When the brocade painting entered the palace just now, the concubine's hands were shaking!"

Concubine Yu's expression eased, and she no longer concealed it.

"This is an old disease that fell when I was young. It's just a little frequent recently. It's not a serious problem, and it doesn't affect others. I don't tell you because I'm afraid you will worry outside."

"Really?" Xi Lan asked uncertainly.

"Well, don't worry." After Yu Guifei finished speaking, she called out again: "Jin Hua, you have to promise Mother Concubine that you must never mention this matter to Li Huai, okay?"

Xi Lan was a little embarrassed, she replied: "The mother and concubine said that the disease is not serious, why can't you tell the prince?"

Concubine Yu Gui didn't answer, but asked again in a low voice: "Are you agreeing to Concubine Mother? Jin Hua?"

Seeing the expectant gaze of the other party, she struggled inwardly.

If Concubine Yu really had troubles, Li Huai must be very uncomfortable, right?
At this time, Concubine Yu said earnestly: "Jin Hua, you were right at the time, my palace has committed a heinous crime, and it is God's favor to make it this far. I will spend the rest of my life repaying the sins I committed back then. , but Huai'er has nothing to do with this, if you really want him, then let him know nothing and go on the road with peace of mind!"

Xi Lan's heart fluctuated. The words said by the other party should have happened before "Fan Mantra", right?

In fact, for those who have done evil, whether it is a dream or reality, there is no distinction between true and false.

When Li Huai came in again, the two had returned to normal.

Immediately, Li Huai skillfully made tea for Concubine Yu Gui. He offered the teacup and wished: "May the mother and concubine be in good health and everything goes well!"

"Okay, good Huai'er!" Concubine Yu Guifei had tears in her eyes and took it from his hand, but she didn't drink it and put it aside.

When eating just now, Concubine Yu did not move her chopsticks, for the same reason as at this moment, her hands were shaking violently, in order to prevent Li Huai from noticing, she avoided all the process of holding things with her hands.

"Huai'er, you are the son of my concubine, and my concubine has always been proud of you!" Concubine Yu wanted to touch her son's cheek before he left, but she could only hide her hand in her sleeve robe. Hold tight.

Finally, her expectant eyes fell on Xi Lan's face, and she said softly, "Jin Hua, do you still remember what the concubine mother said to you in the inner hall when you entered the palace for the first time?"

Hearing this, the scene at that time immediately appeared in Xi Lan's mind.

Concubine Yu Guifei said to her: You were chosen by me personally for Huai'er. I must have chosen the right person, so you must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will protect Huai'er for me. ?
