Ask Sword

Chapter 345 Assassination

In the study, Chai Chai, who was staring at the sachet in a daze, heard the sound of the carriage stopping outside the courtyard again, and the brisk footsteps accompanied by the collision of jade pendants.

"Risheng, are you there?"

Li Leling's voice.

Chai Chai hastily put the sachet in the desk drawer, cleared his throat, "I'm in the study.

Well, I don't have any clothes on right now."

"I know."

Li Leling came to the door of the study and said softly: "I happened to meet Qiu Feng on the way here, she told me."

"ah"

Chai Chai opened his mouth and almost asked, "What else did she say?"

Fortunately, I didn't ask the exit.

Li Leling smelled the scent of the sachet left on the door frame, her expression darkened, and she said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to miss the appointment today. Something happened to the wedding, so it was delayed for a while."

"Uh, it's okay."

Chai Chai said quickly, "Have you encountered any problems with the wedding?"

"Sister Yan is going to get married, she's a little scared."

Li Leling paused for a moment, her mood was complicated - she could understand Yan Xuan's mood, after all, there were too many cases of not being able to be happy in royal marriages.

Or a marriage of interest, with indifference to each other;

Thinking of this, Li Leling took a light breath, pressed his hand on the door frame, and asked, "Risheng, what do you think of me?"

Sit and watch.

Of course Chai Chai knew that Li Leling didn't ask this question, but how should he answer?

There is silence in the study,

Standing outside the study, Li Leling couldn't wait for a response. The expression on his face changed from nervousness at the beginning, to disappointment, to loneliness.

"Sorry, did I ask too inappropriately?"

She lowered her head and laughed at herself, "I grew up in the palace, and I have been in and out of the palace freely for a few years. So I don't know how to get along with others, and I will ask such embarrassing questions .”

She exhaled, tried her best to suppress the fluctuations in her voice, raised her head to keep the tears from shedding, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go first. I won't bother you again in the future"

"Wait a moment!"

There was the sound of chairs rubbing against the floor in the study. Chai Chai approached the door and said seriously: "When I first came to Chang'an, I had no relatives. I am really happy that you are willing to be my friend."

Li Leling blushed, and whispered, "Is it just a friend?"

"No,"

Chai Chai shook his head, "I like the way you sometimes blush when you talk to me, I like that you are by my side, I like the profile of your face when you are asleep, and I like the fragrance of your hair."

"Well?"

The redness of Li Leling's neck spread all the way to his face, and he asked with some doubts, "Asleep?"

"Ahem!"

Chai Chai realized immediately, as Li Leling's best friend, she often slept together, but Li Ang didn't!

"I mean in a dream,"

Chai Chai hurriedly remedied: "I often dream of you at night, and I sleep with you at the school desk in the morning."

"Eh?!"

Li Leling's face was red, her eyes were erratic, "Is this so?"

"Yes, that's right."

Chai Chai nodded vigorously, "Anyway, you have always been special in my heart.

The world is changing, I can't guarantee what the future will be like, but I promise, I will protect you with my life. "

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, illuminating Li Leling's profile.

Does this count as a promise?

"Leon?"

"Um?"

"I'm serious about that."

Li Leling smiled slightly: "The wedding is about to start, I'll rush over there first, you and Cuiqiao will come over later. You are the little medicine god, you must be at the wedding venue."

"Um."

Chai Chai nodded, listening to the sound of footsteps fading away and the sound of the carriage driving, she finally felt relieved.

She leaned her back against the door frame, pressed the back of her head against the door, and let out a long sigh of relief. Although only a few hours have passed, it feels like a whole year.

The fatigue subsided, but the complicated mood came to my heart again.

Master, where have you been?

Chai Chai shook his head, walked quickly to the desk, picked up a pen and paper after thinking for a while, and wrote a note to Li Ang.

She pressed the sticky note with an inkstone, and put Qiu Feng's sachet on it, making sure that Li Ang would see it as soon as he came back, and went to the backyard to pull out the claret horse and prepare the carriage.

She couldn't stay at home and wait for Li Ang to come back. If Li Ang didn't show up for a long time, Li Leling, classmates, teachers, and even the emperor and queen might ask.

Chai Chai needs to arrive at the wedding venue at the right time, so that when others ask about it, he can make up a reason for them not to look for it, and delay some time for Li Ang.

Changlefang, a certain restaurant.

Lu Yunan, dressed in men's clothing, leaned on the railing of a high-rise building, looking down at the bustling lights of Wanjia with a blank expression.

She held a kit in her hand, which seemed to contain some kind of living creature, and was pulling the kit into various shapes.

There is still about half an hour.

She silently estimated the time until midnight, and she had already ordered the caravan to leave ahead of time, and left Chang'an with the goods in the afternoon.

Even if Zhaoming's plot is successfully realized, the tribe will not be endangered.

Just what kind of conspiracy can endanger Chang'an City?

Numerous restrictions and formations have long made Chang'an a watertight fortress,

Even if a dozen Zhuxiao strong men came outside the city in person, it would be impossible to break through the city.

What's more, there are Xuegong Siye, the commander of the Zhenfu Division, the imperial palace enshrined, the Taihaoshan Cardinal, etc., and the Xuegongshan chief Lian Xuanxiao.

Lu Yunan narrowed her eyes slightly. If she was the leader of Zhaoming and wanted to defeat the State of Yu, then the best way was not to assassinate the emperor, but to kill Xuegong Shanzhang.

She paused, and suddenly laughed at her absurd imagination.

The power Zhaoming secretly accumulated is enough to destroy a small country, but he can only hide in the dark and act stealthily.

A big reason for this is the fear of Lian Xuanxiao himself.

Furong Garden, Green Cottage.

The traffic jam in Chang'an City was serious, and Li Leling, who hurried back to the wedding scene from Jinchengfang, met Yan Xuan, the bride who was about to get married, in the Qinglu.

After being comforted by a group of girlfriends and friends, Yan Xuan's condition has improved a lot, but she still looks a little nervous.

The hour has come.

The female officer and Yan Xuan's sisters and friends took out walking barriers and round fans, covered her body, and sent her out of the Qinglu, stepping on felt mats, to Ziyun Tower

During this period, there have been maids holding a round mirror supported by a tripod, facing Yan Xuan - this is the custom of the Yu country. During the marriage process, the mirror should be facing the bride to prevent the three evil spirits from causing trouble. This mirror is also commonly known as the town demon mirror.

The demon-suppressing mirror used in King Yue's wedding is naturally also a treasure in the palace.

The mirror surface was bright and clean, and Yan Xuan's figure was clearly reflected in it, without any abnormality.

Li Leling was not in good health, and couldn't hold the fan with other people, so she stood aside,

She noticed Chai Chai trotting over from a distance, hurried over, and said in a low voice, "Cuiqiao, you came here alone? Where's Risheng?"

"There was a traffic jam in the city. On the road, he encountered a patient whose foot was trampled and was receiving emergency treatment."

Chai Chai, who didn't know where Li Ang had gone, bit the bullet and said, "Should be able to come here."

".All right."

Li Leling nodded hesitantly, "There is still time for the wedding ceremony, I will talk to the painters later and ask them not to paint the part of the rising sun."

At this time, Yan Xuan had already passed the felt mat and came to Li Hui who was standing at the entrance of Ziyun Building.

The waiters and girlfriends removed the barrier fans, revealing Yan Xuan's beautiful face.

Li Hui's smile was still contagious, he patted Yan Xuan's hand lightly, telling the latter not to be nervous, and led her slowly up the Purple Cloud Tower.

Sitting in front of the Emperor and Empress and Yan Xuan's parents, they looked relieved,

The crown prince and princess concubine smiled sweetly, and all the guests at the banquet offered their best wishes.

As the master of ceremonies, Cardinal Xinxiu showed a rare smile. Emperor Yu asked him to serve as a witness to the King of Yue. Even if it wasn't to please Taihao Mountain, it would make the world fear Haotian even more.

In contrast, reading a few lines at a wedding is really not a hard job.

"A pair in the same prison, and will serve as a second official in the future."

Thinking of this, Cardinal Xinxiu stood in front of Li Hui and Yan Xuan, recited poems, and began to hold the wedding ceremony according to the ancient Zhou rituals.
