Riding the Pheonix Chapter 678: Reunion
Emperor Tiancheng returned to the palace and was in such a good mood that he could go to heaven.
He said to Chang Zhengming: "Zhengming, I haven't figured out what the master said yet. I will tell you when I think about it clearly."
Chang Zhengming responded respectfully, resigned and left.
After taking a bath, Emperor Tiancheng said that he thought of his mother and went to the palace of the late Queen Mother.
He left the palace servants outside and entered the inner hall where the Queen Mother's relics were placed.
The candles on the lampstand were taken down one by one, and they slowly formed a circle facing the piece of paper written by Master Ignorance.
Then, he sat among the candles, took out the seal and held it in his hand, staring at the clepsydra.
When the scale of the clepsydra fell to zero, he placed the seal on the fire.
A puff of green smoke escaped from the seal and gradually turned into a white mist.
This white mist rose higher and higher, passing through the roof and reflecting a mirror-like glimmer above the palace.
……
The snow parrot drank too much water before going to bed and got up in the middle of the night to go to the latrine.
She yawned and walked out of the room. Her sleepy eyes seemed to see a white shadow flash past, and she suddenly became frightened.
After being stunned for a while, she pushed Haiyan: "Wake up, I think I saw someone just now."
Haiyan was very alert and immediately opened her eyes and took out the dagger on the bedside: "Where is it?"
"Just outside Miss Mingqi's door."
Haiyan immediately put on her shoes and went out.
The two of them are not only here to serve, but also shoulder the responsibility of surveillance.
Now that Miss Mingqi's skills have been restored, it will be difficult for them to explain if she runs away.
Haiyan sensed that there was no one around.
She carefully opened Mingwei's door, walked around the screen, and saw someone sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Because she was worried, she even opened the curtain.
"What are you doing up so late at night?" a voice came from the bed.
Haiyan immediately replied: "It's okay, I'm here to see if you are taking off the quilt."
Mingwei's voice was unclear: "Go to bed, I'm exhausted today."
"Yes."
Haiyan went out quietly and closed the door.
"How is it?" Snow Parrot asked impatiently.
"No one, you are dazzled."
"Really?" Xue Ying tilted her head. After all, she was a little confused just now and wasn't sure.
In the room, Mingwei walked out from behind the bed.
She was fully clothed, but there was someone else on the bed.
After waiting for a while, Haiyan and Xueying went back. She walked out of the house again and quietly left the Duke's mansion.
……
The street was quiet and quiet. The little white snake followed the marks left by Duofu and slowly found a yard.
"Knock knock!"
The door opened quickly, and a surprised voice came from inside: "Miss!"
Mingwei made a silent gesture and quickly ducked in.
When the door closed, Duofu was very happy: "Miss, I knew you would come! You will definitely come!"
Mingwei smiled and patted her head. When she turned around, she saw Yang Shu standing in front of the house, looking at her intently.
There is no disguise on his face, and the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows is bright and distinct.
The two looked at each other without blinking.
During the Lantern Festival, Mingwei was kidnapped.
For five months, they had no news from each other.
The last time they were separated for so long was when he was demoted to the northwest.
But it was different then. He thought she was doing well in the capital, unlike this time. He didn't know where she was living, whether she was well, or whether she was suffering.
Yang Shu ran over to her without hesitation and hugged her.
Mingwei was held so hard that he couldn't breathe, but she didn't push him away.
After a while, I heard his muffled voice: "I've lost so much weight, I feel like I'm just bones when I hold him."
Mingwei couldn't help but smile: "Then let me eat more?"
"Yeah."
Mingwei looked at his face.
She is not the only one who is thinner. His cheeks are not as plump as before. It must be difficult to live in anonymity all the way from Northern Qi to Southern Chu.
"Your Highness, we have found Miss Ming. Can we talk after we go in?" Hou Liang's voice sounded at the right time.
Yang Shu relaxed his embrace, but his eyes were still glued to her like sugar threads.
After entering the house, Hou Liang and others voluntarily retreated.
Duofu was also taken away by the knowledgeable A Xuan, leaving them alone.
Duofu was still unhappy: "I have a lot to say to the lady!"
A Xuan pressed her down on the bench in the verandah and said, "Your Highness also has a lot to say to Miss Ming."
"But..."
"You must have the self-consciousness of a maid," Ah Xuan taught earnestly, "The master must be in the front."
Duofu was very stubborn: "The lady didn't say that."
"..." Axuan had no choice but to change his approach, "Then think about it, are you close to your young lady, or is His Highness close to Miss Ming?"
"Of course..." Duofu said, "It's me! I'm with the lady every day!"
A Xuan failed in teaching and wanted to hit the wall.
He wanted to ask, where did he find such a stubborn girl? Ah Wan is much more sensible than her, okay?
Thinking of Ah Wan, he asked: "By the way, where is Ah Wan? Why didn't she follow?"
Duofu slapped his head: "Ah, I didn't think of asking." When she saw the young lady, what else could she remember?
"Isn't it convenient?" Ah Xuan found an excuse himself, but he felt very bad and kept restless.
He endured it for a while, but couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to knock on the door.
This time it was Duofu who pulled him: "You said not to disturb them!"
"It's different, I have important things to do this time."
"Oh, my things are not important, but your things are important?"
"This is not my business ~IndoMTL.com~ but also His Highness's business. Awan is also very important to His Highness."
"Oh, my maid is not important to the lady, but her maid is important to His Highness?"
Axuan wants to say that's not the case, but...why does it sound reasonable? Didn’t you say that this girl is very honest and not good at talking?
It didn't make sense, so he had no choice but to rush to the door while Duofu wasn't paying attention.
"Hey, how come you..."
Axuan has already knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
Yang Shu looked so decadent and flushed: "What are you doing? Someone is coming?"
A Xuan said: "I would like to ask Miss Ming, why A Wan didn't come?"
"A-Wan?" Mingwei was confused, "A-Wan is not here!"
"What do you mean not here?" A Xuan was shocked.
Yang Shu was also stunned, grabbed her and asked: "Didn't Ah Wan disappear with you? We found Ah Wan's silk flowers in the place where you disappeared."
Mingwei's face suddenly changed: "Oh my God!"
"What happened?" Yang Shu grabbed her, "Where did Awan go?"
"She was captured by the barbarians!" Mingwei briefly described what happened that night, "...a group of barbarians suddenly appeared and would definitely leave traces. I thought you would go find Ah Wan first! ”
Hu people...Sutu...
Yang Shu's face turned paler and paler, and he was on the verge of collapse.
He was so panicked at the time that he noticed the smell of medicinal powder, so he chased it south without any further investigation.
In this way, Ah Wan has been lost for five months, and she has been in Su Tu's hands for five months!
With Sutu’s hatred for them, what will happen to her? !
