Chapter 1062 Familiar Strangers
The room where the master of the Wenxuan Palace lived was filled with ground dragons, and it was very warm without burning charcoal at night. Logically speaking, no matter how Xuan Tiange sleeps, he could not feel the shade. But this kind of feeling came tonight, so that she turned over several times, and finally had to sit up from the bed, and called the maid who was watching the night-watching maid-"Huan'er, do you see, is the ground dragon no longer hot, why is it so cold?"
There was a maid watching the night beside the princess' bed, and the maid was buried there with a bedding. She could respond immediately as soon as the master shouted. But strangely, Xuan Tiange shouted a few times, and after waiting for a while, he did not hear the maid's answer, nor did he shout.
"Huan'er, why are you sleeping so hard?" She frowned, raised the curtain and looked down, and saw that the girl was sleeping heavily, with a slight snoring sound, which was as good as her master. She reached out and pushed her down a few times, and shouted, "Huan'er, wake up, Huan'er!" However, the maid did not react at all and was still sleeping.
Xuan Tiange suddenly felt something was wrong. Huan'er was her personal maid. She has been with her for many years and has always been the safest thing to do. How could she suddenly sleep even harder than her during the night watch? This has never happened before. Is Huan'er sick? Or something unexpected?
She was thinking, and at this moment, she heard a sudden laugh from the middle of the room. She was shocked and looked up. But in the dark night, a man in his brocade robe stood in the middle of her boudoir. He looked in his twenties and looked very noble. He had a clear facial features and horns, so he was a person with a very outstanding appearance. She felt that this person looked familiar, but in this situation, she was shocked. How could she have the heart to analyze where she had seen it?
Xuan Tiange stepped back cautiously, then grabbed the long gown beside the bed and wrapped herself. Then he looked around again and found that no one except the man appeared. He seemed to be the other party, but he didn't know if there were any accomplices in secret. She asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Why did you break into this princess's sleeping in the middle of the night?"
She didn't know whether she should yell, so she was afraid that before the person who saved her would come, the other party would kill her. After all, a maid who could enter her room under the noses of the secret guards outside the house and successfully fainted her. Such a person must be good at it. Besides, the unmarried princess was broken into bed by a man in the middle of the night. This is a bad saying, but it may be like what it will be if it is spread. But can she not shout? Can she deal with this person?
Xuan Tiange was very conflicted and also very scared. Although this man didn't seem to be malicious, his eyes were dangerous no matter how he looked at it. He was as sharp as a poisonous snake, and it was straight into people's hearts.
She took a deep breath and asked again: "Speak, since you are here, I have to let this princess know who you are."
After she said this, the man finally spoke. His voice was nice and feminine, but he didn't look feminine. He said-"I just came to see if the princess of Dashun is doing well now, and do you still remember my old friend."
Old friend Xuan Tiange was stunned. After looking at it carefully, the more he looked, the more he looked familiar. However, this person looked different from the Han people in Dashun, and he looked very much like the ancient Shu people in the desert. When she thought of ancient Shu, her eyes lit up and she burst out - "Is it you?"
He is indeed a person he knows, but he is not a friend. Xuan Tiange remembered that when he went to Damo, he participated in the wedding between Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming. She entered Damo a few days in advance, but one afternoon she rescued a seriously injured person from the street. In fact, it was not considered a rescue. The man was covered in blood and fell on the side of the road, just begging her to hire a doctor and leave some silver. Xuan Tiange thought that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming were going to get married, so it would be better not to have such a person on the street.
So she left him twenty taels of silver and went to the clinic to ask the doctor to deal with it. She met in a hurry, but she had a deep impression of the injured person, because although the man was in a mess, his clothes looked good, and his status was either rich or noble. In addition, the typical portrait of the ancient Shu people made her look at him a few more glances. She also suspected that person's identity at that time, but after all, it was better to have less things than more. She had just arrived and had to go back in a few days, so there was no need to worry about this little business.
However, unexpectedly, a few months later, the man came to Kyoto of Dashun and touched her boudoir in the middle of the night. She was a little angry, but because she knew each other, her fear was reduced a lot. She asked the other party: "Why did you come to Dashun? Who are you?" After saying that, she couldn't help but look up and down, and then asked inexplicably: "All the injuries on your body are healed? I was seriously injured at the beginning."
The man smiled on his face and held the corners of his lips evilly, looking a little bit like Xuan Tianming's evil charm. He said, "It's all right to thank Princess Wuyang for help. And the reason why he came to Dashun was mainly to come and see my life savior. Is it a pleasant life in Dashun?"
"Of course I am happy!" Xuan Tiange rolled his eyes, "This is my home. I am the princess of Dashun. Who dares to make me unhappy? Is your concern a little unnecessary? Moreover, we two don't have such a deep friendship. Your reason is too false and unfair." She shook her head, denying that the man said it was to see her, but at the same time she thought of the matter in the palace. She had said before that no one dared to make her unhappy, but in fact, hasn't she been unhappy for the past few months?
Seeing Xuan Tiange's face collapse, his condition fell into the man's eyes, and a hint of worry arose. He asked Xuan Tiange: "But someone bullies you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Xuan Tiange scolded the other party with a serious face: "Do you know what the charge is for breaking into the princess's boudoir? You still don't leave quickly, waiting for the princess to call someone to take you down?"
She thought she was very stern. Although she was very curious about the other party's identity and purpose, she still felt that she could send the person away first. It was a bit panicked in the middle of the night. But after saying this, the other party sneered, and he said: "There are four secret guards outside of you, and there are two servants watching the night in the yard. There are this sleeping maid in the room. In addition, the personal soldiers and guards of the Wenxuan Palace, and there are many people from all over the country. These people couldn't stop me. Do you think, who else can you call to take me down?"
Xuan Tiange took a breath of air conditioning, and the previous dangerous feeling came again, so that she felt colder. She subconsciously shrank back again, holding the quilt with both hands. Knowing that this would not have any protective effect at all, she still had to strive for more security for herself.
The man stood there without moving, his eyes always looking at her until he saw the growing fear in Xuan Tiange's eyes that he felt a little regretful. What was he doing? Was he scared her? This was not his intention. So, the evil charm in his eyes slightly restrained, and the whole person's breath changed a little, his face slowed down, and he looked no longer so gloomy. He originally had a black cloak outside his pale yellow robe. Although it was April in Dashun, for him, the temperature at night was still a bit too cold, and he had to wear more. The black cloak hat held his head and only showed a face, which looked mysterious and terrifying. At this time, he took off the cloak hat and looked at Xuan Tiange again, which was even more like when Xuan Tiange saved him in the desert.
"I didn't intend to scare you." He spoke with a more normal tone. "I have something to do when I come to Dashun Capital, but I want to see you. After all, you have saved my life. We ancient Shu people take it very seriously for their kindness to save lives." He did not hide where he came from. After all, the two of them met in the desert. Moreover, his appearance is obviously a foreigner, and they can't hide it even if they want to.
Xuan Tiange's mood gradually calmed down under the change of his momentum. She originally wanted to say that you could leave when you saw me, but what rushed out was a curious question: "What are you doing in Dashun?" Thinking about it again, remembering the visit of the new king of Gu Shu, he guessed: "Are you from the new king of Gu Shu? Did you come with him?" After saying that, he shook his head in his mind, "No, right, he should still be on the road, not so soon, then you should be the vanguard, going to Beijing to explore the way. Well, this is normal. After all, Dashun and Gu Shu are not harmonious when they are on a visit. It is common sense to send people in advance to see it."
The man felt very interesting when he listened to her reasoning, so he wrapped his arms in front of him and listened to it until Xuan Tiange finished analyzing the matter and added another sentence: "But the new king chose to come to Dashun at this time, and I don't know if it was an enemy or a friend. Now Dashun is the eighth prince, and the relationship between the eighth prince in ancient Shu was very good. I think there should be many remnants of the general in ancient Shu, and it is not guaranteed that the new king secretly supports Lao Ba. So, you choose to come to Dashun at this time, and I am afraid that he will help Lao Ba with one arm?"
The man shook his head very happily and told her, "No, that's not the case. The new king doesn't know your eighth prince at all, and he doesn't have any good feelings for him. On the contrary, if the eighth prince hadn't instigated him from it, why would the ancient Shu lose several important cities? Therefore, the new king hated him for not having time, so how could he help him? The princess was thinking too much."
"Really?" Xuan Tiange's eyes flashed, and the whole person became excited. He didn't care about being afraid. He leaned forward slightly and asked in a hurry: "What you said is serious? The other end of Gu Shu really has a grudge against Lao Ba?"
The man nodded, "Really." Just as he was about to say something, his ear suddenly stood up, then he raised his index finger to his lips and made a silence. He lowered his voice and said to Xuan Tiange: "Someone is coming here, I'll leave first, we will see you again if we have the chance." After that, his figure flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Before Xuan Tiange could come back to his senses, at this time, someone from outside had already arrived at the door, and the voice of a maid: "Princess, are you talking? Is there something wrong?"
