Li Huang

"Girl, do you know how to get to the official road to Hanyang?" Shen Xiyao's voice came into my ears, but I didn't seem to hear anything.

The sound of running water, the rustling of wind blowing through the treetops, the chirping of birds...I can't hear everything, only that sound echoes in my ears.

"Girl, this girl?" Shen Xiyao's voice was puzzled, he called me softly, but I didn't know what to do.

"Hey, my host asks you something. Xu Zhengyuan shouted roughly.

"Zhengyuan, don't be so rude." Shen Xiyao scolded softly.

"Yes, Master." Xu Zhengyuan's voice weakened.

I'm desperately thinking of ways to deal with it. How should I answer? But no matter what I say, Shen Xiyao will definitely recognize my voice. Also, I looked at the turban that I put aside before, and thought to myself that I couldn't look back, or even stand up. Because I believe that based on what Shen Xiyao knows about me and his affection for me according to what Mr. Huang said, then he will not let go of any woman who resembles me in any way.

I retracted carefully, arched my body as much as possible, held my clothes tightly, and said nothing.

"This girl, do you know how to get to the official road to Anyang?" Shen Xiyao's voice was gentle, it sounded like a spring rain: "We took the wrong road ahead and made several turns. Because of an emergency, if the girl I know, please help us to point it out." He paused and said, "I will reward the girl."

I shook my head, but did not dare to make a sound.

"Don't be afraid of the girl. We are not bad guys." There was a smile in his voice.

"Master, this person is very strange." Xu Zhengyuan's voice was full of alert: "I will ask."

A string of footsteps came, and the footsteps were heavy, and I settled down a bit. It should be Xu Zhengyuan.

"This girl." Xu Zhengyuan said: "Do you know how to get to the official road?" As he said, a silver coin rolled over to me.

I took a deep breath, and muttered in a low voice: "Go straight, turn the road ahead to the right, then to the left, that's it."

"Thank you girl." Xu Zhengyuan saw me answer, thanked him, and then turned around after losing another coin.

I heard them go away with horseshoes, and their tight bodies suddenly slumped down, as if they were drained of energy. I glanced at the two silver coins at my feet, quickly put the clothes into the clothes basket, and planned to go home immediately.

I got up and walked a few steps, but there was the sound of horseshoes behind me. I was surprised and hurriedly hid behind a small willow. The heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"It should be here. Let's look for it carefully." Shen Xiyao's voice was full of anxiety.

"Master, is your wallet?" Xu Zhengyuan asked.

"Yeah. Golden thread embroidered Panlong." Shen Xiyao's voice was faint: "Find it soon."

"The master has so many purses, why care about such one? We have to rush back today." Xu Zhengyuan dared to persuade him.

"Why are there so many words?" Shen Xiyao's tone was angry: "Hurry up and find it." He paused and said softly: "All purses can't match that one."

"It's the emperor..." Xu Zhengyuan didn't say any more: "Please calm down your anger."

I was standing behind the tree, and their conversation entered my ears without fail. At the beginning, I also embroidered a gold-thread purse with a Panlong to Shen Xiyao, but I came out of the palace before finishing the embroidery. The one he missed at this time should be made by his new favorite concubine.

I felt a little sad, but I was forced by the situation before me. I can't walk away without incident, because my back is familiar to Shen Xiyao. But standing here, they will definitely be surprised by them.

I was thinking, Xu Zhengyuan found me.

"Girl, I'm sorry, we have no intention of offending." He probably thought that as a woman, I can't easily see a man.

"It's okay." I lowered my head and turned my back to them.

"Can the girl help us find it?" Shen Xiyao's voice came: "That purse is very important to me. If the girl finds it, I can give you a lot of money."

Before he finished his words, Xu Zhengyuan over there said "Hey" and walked to Shen Xiyao's side.

"Isn't this... talented talent?" Shen Xiyao asked in doubt, and I felt a gaze fall on me through the trees: "Girl, you forgot your silver."

Shen Xiyao said he was going to step forward, Xu Zhengyuan took a quick step, "Master, this person is very weird." His voice was ruthless: "I'll go see."

When I panicked, the clothes basket in my hand fell to the ground, and I bent over to pick it up, and saw a bright yellow purse beside my feet. There is a golden dragon plate on the auspicious clouds, the longan is obsidian, but the dragon body has not been embroidered... I couldn't help covering my mouth and whispered in surprise. That purse is exactly the one I embroidered for Shen Xiyao.

I picked it up quickly, and handed it to Xu Zhengyuan who was approaching, "This is what you are looking for."

I thought for a while and said again, still a concealed voice: "The money, thank you very much. It's just too much. I take it back, fearing that my family will not believe it and it will cause trouble."

My explanation is reasonable. I don't know whether Xu Zhengyuan's doubts are dispelled or not, but he will not embarrass me if he wants to come.

"Thank you girl."

I was shocked, Shen Xiyao's voice was close at hand, thinking about coming, he and me would be separated by a tree.

The purse in the hand was picked up by someone, and even because we were not careful, the tips of our fingers touched each other lightly, but within a short breath, the temperature disappeared in the wind before it came up.

I buried my head deeply and stopped talking, only begging them to leave soon and let me make a living.

"Master, now that we have found it, let's hurry up on the road." Xu Zhengyuan urged slightly.

"Yeah." Shen Xiyao replied, and suddenly said jokingly: "This girl, are we so scary? Do you want to avoid seeing it all the time?"

My heart stopped for a while. Although I knew he meant more jokes, I was still very alarmed. After all, he is the emperor, and he has never failed to get what he wants.

I dared not speak, nor could I speak, so I stood quietly, my feet numb.

"Zhengyuan, give the silver to this girl." Shen Xiyao dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

I heard his footsteps go away, and I let out a long sigh of relief. Looking from behind the tree, Shen Xiyao's posture is as handsome as an immortal, drifting away from me.

This is the last time, so close. This is the last time, see him.

I smiled slightly and said in my heart to that figure: "Goodbye, Xiyao. May you be happy and all the best."

In his eyes, his steps were not hurried, but he suddenly turned to look over. I was so scared that I hid, and secretly prayed that he did not see me, after all, the distance was not short.

Shen Xiyao actually watched Xu Zhengyuan follow up, his eyes drifted by accidentally, but he turned back.

"You?" He stepped forward with surprise in his tone: "You look like a person." He said lightly: "Is it my illusion again?"

When I saw him shaking his head, I didn't seem to take it seriously, thinking it was his own sake.

"Master, we should go." Xu Zhengyuan reminded quietly.

"Let's go." Shen Xiyao even brought a warm smile on his face, but his tone was so helpless: "It's time to go back."

Just at this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Vil, Weier."

It's Xihe, I look at the sun, he should have come to find me back.

"Vir?" Shen Xiyao's voice was full of doubts. I heard him step forward quickly, even Xu Zhengyuan tried to stop him.

I hurriedly turned around, trying to escape.

Clenched my shoulders with one hand. His breath is in his ears.

"You, you are..." He was breathing fast: "Turn around and let me see you."

"Master, this..." Xu Zhengyuan seemed to be frightened, and Shen Xiyao's reaction shocked him.

"You retreat." Shen Xiyao shouted.

I desperately controlled myself not to be straightened by him, tears rolling in my eyes, resenting why I didn't leave early. However, after all, I still couldn't hold back his strength, and was forced to face him abruptly.

In an instant, what I saw were his shocked eyes, and his eyes focused on me almost for a while.

"Vir." Xihe's voice came again. Getting closer.

Then, in those eyes, the original surprise was swept away, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the lines on his face became sharp. I only saw anger and extreme anger. Because of that call, his forehead was blue veins violently, and his face even paled with excitement. His lips trembled slightly, his eyes almost forced to bleed.

My shoulders were painful because the force he exerted on my shoulders increased, and it was so heavy that I couldn't bear it anymore, even for another moment, I felt that my shoulders would be removed by him. But I can only hold back silently, lower my head, and don't look at him, and I can't do much.

"You..." Shen Xiyao's voice trembled.

The word "you" contains too many emotions. But, the most obvious thing I saw in those eyes was his bottomless anger. The eyes that were once bright are now completely gloomy, and the eyes that were once deep now look like a terrifying abyss. It seems that as long as you fall in, you will lose everything, even life.

He is an emperor and naturally has such power.

Xu Zhengyuan has retreated far, and I can't see him.

A hand suddenly appeared on Shen Xiyao's shoulder.

"Let go of her!" I have never heard Xi He's tone. For an instant, he was no longer the gentle and jade-like Young Master Pian Pianjia. The threatening voice was like his dark eyes, revealing murderous intent.

Shen Xiyao did not move, I saw his face twitched slightly.

"Who are you?" Xi He's tone was full of danger, as if he would get rid of the person in front of him in the next second.

A sneer slowly appeared on Shen Xiyao's face, which could almost coagulate human blood. Then, in a very slow tone, he said every word: "Wang Yu Xihe, don't you recognize me?"

In the bamboo house at the bottom of the mountain, Shen Xiyao sat in the main hall calmly, and I knelt side by side in front of him. Xu Zhengyuan stood by with a pale face.

Shen Xiyao's initial anger has passed, and at this time he just held a frightening sneer, and looked around carelessly.

"You really know how to live." He said coldly, picked up a porcelain bottle on the table, and threw it at Xihe without warning.

I watched in horror as the porcelain bottle slid across the air, and then slammed Xihe's body with a "bang", breaking apart, but Xihe didn't even frown. There was a dark red blooming flowers on his coat, and my heart trembled, it seemed that he was hurt.

Shen Xiyao picked up a tea cup and played with it again, with a hint of smile, raised his hand, but his eyes fell on me.

"The emperor..." I exclaimed, almost leaping on my body.

"Why, distressed?" Shen Xiyao's tone seemed to catch a cat playing with a mouse, and his smile revealed killing intent.

I leaned over and knocked my head, knocking again and again until the pain on my forehead was numb, and it still kept going.

"Fine." Shen Xiyao's voice came like the sky: "Do you think that, I will forgive you?"

"Please forgive the emperor." Xihe said: "It's all Xiaomin's fault."

"Xiaomin?" Shen Xiyao smirked: "Do you think your identity means you don't want it? It's up to me if you want it or not."

"The criminal has committed a big mistake, don't ask the emperor for pardon." Xihe's tone was very free and easy.

"I won't forgive you." Shen Xiyao's expression became cold, and there was a bit of sadness in her tone: "I promised not to take your life after I passed my mother. You will leave me in the imperial tomb, facing the ancestors and sects, and think carefully. Live it."
