Chapter 30 Baihe

A white crane on the Star Tower of Chengxiang Palace swept past the window, and its wings slid lightly between the palaces.

Yuqing stopped and looked up, her eyes showing envious gaze.

As the white crane gradually flew away, she buried her head and continued to do her own thing. She gently dragged the sleeve on her right with her left hand, picked up a small spoon with her right hand and put it into the container.

At this moment, a palace maid behind her said in the voice: Taoist priest, the Jincheng Palace is coming down.

Yuqing paused and said nothing. After a while, Princess Jincheng lifted the thick curtain and walked in.

The thick curtain behind the door of the warm pavilion is to block the smoke outside. The three bronze mirrors in the Star Tower are not repairing the alchemy day and night, and the smoke outside is very choking. The curtain hanging at the door of the warm pavilion where Princess Taiping cultivates effectively blocks the air turbidity caused by the alchemy.

Jincheng is radiant, with a white dress spotless and light and flowing, like a fairy descending to earth, and a beautiful face is rare in the world.

Yuqing looked at her thoughtfully and looked out the window again, but at this time there was nothing in the sky, and the white crane had no idea where to fly to.

You guys go down.Jin Cheng said, and the palace maid beside him hurriedly bowed his knees and retreated.Her voice was so pure and without any impurities, just like the sound of nature sounding from the sky.

When Jincheng saw Yuqing sitting there fidging with the pills without caring about it, she didn't care. She was already accustomed to Yuqing's self-proclaimed nobleness and elegance.

Her eyes moved from Yuqing to the translucent golden silk curtain of Uncle, and Princess Taiping was still lying there peacefully, as if she was taking a nap and like a body.

Princess Jincheng asked: Did Your Highness take the pills on time?

Yuqing nodded, everything was done as you said.

You... Jincheng said slowly. He was a Taoist disciple who took care of His Highness for so long, and never asked for any reward based on his favor. His character is admired by the world.

Yuqing said lightly: It doesn’t matter how people in the world think of me, and I don’t care.

Princess Jincheng nodded: Taoist priest to Your Highness...

What do you want to say?Yuqing interrupted immediately without waiting for her to finish her words, turned her pretty and thin face and stared at Jincheng quietly.

Jin Cheng smiled and said: You don’t have to be too careful, I have no other intentions. The feeling of reluctance to leave over time is the normal human nature.But I would like to remind the Taoist priest that this matter is of great importance. If you act without authorization, it would be fine if you harm yourself, but I am afraid it will not be of much benefit to Your Highness.

Yuqing remained silent, and Jincheng continued: King Jin is His Highness Princess Taiping's favorite biological son, and their mother-son relationship is probably not comparable to that of other outsiders.Therefore, the King of Jin will not be harmful to his mother. Now, you will continue to use pills to delay His Highness’s awakening, but in fact, there are helpless difficulties.The fierce palace struggle has been the tragic situation since ancient times when brothers fight and father and son are separated. Taoist Yuqing, as an outsider, cannot understand the difficulties in this... Do you hope that Your Highness will finally recover but face danger, or do you hope that she will fall into the pain of losing her son?You may not be able to understand who wins and who loses, but I know very well, but no matter what the result is, it is not a good thing for Your Highness, so please be careful in Taoist Master Yuqing.

Does Your Highness, Princess Jincheng, doubt that I will make a good decision?Yuqing said patiently after listening.

Princess Jincheng's smile was still, making people feel like spring breeze: Because it is of great importance, I just prevent problems before it happens. Please do not mind Taoist Yuqing.If you save Your Highness Taiping, everyone will be grateful to you.

……

Xue Chongxun stayed at home all night and thought about a lot of things. He thought that Princess Jincheng was in charge of Chengxiang Palace. He still trusted Princess Jincheng very much, whether it was her heart or her talents.

In addition to Jincheng, there is also Gao, who will also stand on his side. I think he is very popular with a woman...

It was just a heart-to-heart exchange. Although he was not very good to women, he was much better than those literati who completely regarded women as goods. Xue Chongxun still hoped that they could live a good life and see people's hearts over time, and they could feel it slowly.

He had a messy thought, but he could only think about it alone and did not dare to tell others, even his most confidant aide.

If he told those staff members to ask them to give advice, Xue Chongxun could think of what they would suggest: house arrest or kill him!

This is undoubtedly the best way to consider interests and power, because Princess Taiping is too weak now, what a good opportunity.

So Xue Chongxun didn't want to tell them that since there was still time to buffer, he planned to think about it again.

He often reflects on himself. Maybe he is really not suitable for the power field and cares about too many things...

This is a deeply rooted value orientation that is hard to change.

People with emperor appearance, especially the founding emperor, believe that the most valuable thing in the world is the power of dominance, right?

It is not entirely just a saying to claim to be alone.

But in Xue Chongxun's heart, if all his relatives leave me and cannot trust anyone, and only means of kindness and power, then what is the goal of life in one lifetime?

For the sake of future generations, remember a name, a few Chinese characters and a story.

Maybe they are all too lonely, for fear of being forgotten by this world.

Xue Chongxun actually has many relatives here, including a mother, a few younger brothers and sisters, and many people with blood relationships in the Xue Li family.

But his younger brothers and sisters didn't have a deep impression on him, and they all started their own families and careers, only Princess Taiping was his closest relative.

He didn't fall asleep all night, and Princess Taiping's love for him clearly appeared in his mind.

Power is good and wealth is good. Everyone wants to live a better and more casual life, but do you have to become a slave to power and interests in this way?

But this matter is not Xue Chongxun's wishful thinking, but a mutual action. Perhaps Princess Taiping will be a slave to power, so if Xue Chongxun's wishful thinking, she will not even be a slave.

The messy thoughts make people wander confusedly.

Before he knew it, it was already dawn. Xue Chongxun was not used to sleeping during the day, and he couldn't sleep. He had to endure his drowsy mind and get up and dress.

When he first walked out of the room, he was meeting Sun. When Sun saw Xue Chongxun's appearance, he was shocked and said in surprise: Why is Xue Lang's face so bad?

While she said that, she reached out to touch Xue Chongxun's forehead.

Don't worry if you're not sick.

Xue Chongxun just said something and found that his throat was a little sandy.

I had a good living habit in the Tang Dynasty and I almost never stayed up late. I couldn't stand it like this at once.

Xue Chongxun didn't know how ugly his face was, but he probably guessed something from Sun's eyes. Sun's eyes were full of pity and heartache.

She said tirelessly: You go into the house and rest, I will call Yuwen Ji to show you.

I'm not sick!Is it annoying for people to be noisy?!

Two bad attitudes blurted out.

This is completely inconsistent with Xue Chongxun's usual style. He was a little uncomfortable after he said it...

She could clearly feel Sun's concern, so why did she have to vent her head and hurt her?

Xue Chongxun quickly realized his bad habits and said slowly: I'm busy with my own affairs, don't worry about me, I want to be quiet for a while.

After saying that, he turned around and walked into a study room next to the living room. Yao Wan, who was on duty in the inner courtyard, also followed in. After hearing Xue Chongxun's order to polish the ink, she hurriedly picked up the inkstone and came out to fetch water.

After a while, another maid brought breakfast in, and Yao Wan ran in and out of the study and served.

Sun came under the roof again, but did not dare to go in, so he had to catch Yao Wan and asked: How much did Xue Lang eat for breakfast?

Yao Wan said innocently: He put the snacks in the inkstone and dipped them in ink, and his mouth was covered with black ink. I was rushing to fetch water to wash him.

Sun said in surprise: How did you think of this strange way to eat it?

Yao Wan said: If you think about something else, you will be distracted. You will lose your soul when you get up early in the morning.I was still complaining just now, maybe I encountered something difficult in the court.

After hearing this, Sun agreed and reminded him: Then listen to him more, it will be better if you can speak it out.

Well... Yao Wan nodded and suddenly remembered the affair that Li Yaner said that night. She immediately felt like she had knocked down Wuwei Ping. She thought that Sun was really caring about Xue Chongxun. If it were a legitimate couple, it would be an enviable family, but they were in a mess!

Yao Wan didn't say much, so she used a copper basin to make some hot water and add cold water to try the temperature was almost the same, so she took it in. She had been in the Xue Mansion for several months, and she had been doing these things in serving people very quickly and skillfully.

People are forced to do so. In the past, I really didn’t dare to imagine that I would do so much work at home.

Xue Chongxun was sitting there holding a thread-shaped book in his hand. He occasionally looked through it and didn't know if he had read it.

Yao Wan walked over quietly, took a towel to wipe his mouth, and silently packed his chin that was blackened by himself.

While working, she took a look at the cover of the book, the Zuo family's birth of the Spring and Autumn Period.

He looked much more peaceful than before, and after a while he said: I'm going to go out for a few days and ask him to inform the Flying Tiger Regiment to prepare for the cavalry to accompany him.

How many days?Is your husband going on a long journey?Yao Wan asked, and then Sun would answer no if he asked.

Xue Chongxun said: I went to Tongchuan and couldn't come back within one day. I guess I had to rest for two nights outside.

Yes, I will pass on the words of my husband now.Yao Wan glanced at Xue Chongxun’s clothes. Do you want to change into an official robe?

No need.

Yao Wan came back from the message and saw Sun again. He also told Sun about Xue Chongxun's outing and explained to her: The Langjun will handle some letters at home on weekdays. I was waiting by the side and I accidentally learned a lot of things. Tongchuan seemed to be the garrison of the Shence Army. He should have gone there for military affairs.

After hearing this, Sun said: Call Sanniang over later and ask her to take care of Xue Lang's food and clothing on the way.
