Chapter 122 Red Spirit
They arrived at Feiyu Pavilion in silence. When they opened the door and went inside, there was no one in the cage. Shen Yining was stunned and ran forward to hold the cage, looking anxiously inside. Where was Xiao Yuan?
"He doesn't want you anymore, Princess Ning'an." A cold and somewhat playful voice sounded behind her.
Shen Yining held the cage and didn't believe it. Could it be that Xiao Yuan... was dead? Tears fell, and she lowered her head in sorrow and slid down the cage to sit on the ground. He was gone, Xiao Yuan was gone.
A Lianyi walked closer, took Shen Yining's arm and asked, "Are you sad? Are you crying for yourself or for him?"
Seeing that she lowered her eyes and cried without replying, Alianyi pushed her against the edge of the cage and asked sternly: "I ask you, who are you crying for!"
Shen Yining sobbed and said, "What did you do to him?"
"It's really for him. Are every tear you shed just for him?"
"Xiao Yuan, what happened to Xiao Yuan..."
"He, Song Xiaoyuan, doesn't want you anymore."
Shen Yining didn't believe it. She looked at Alianyi in front of her with tears in her eyes and full of disappointment: "Alianyi, why did you become like this? How did Xiaoyuan and I let you down? Why are he and I together? It's all because of you! He came to Qiang country to find medicine for you. He was seriously injured and I happened to take care of him. That's how we met. What you saw on the Lantern Festival that day was a misunderstanding. We were just acquaintances at that time. Xiaoyuan came to Qiang country this time, and you tortured him in every way, but he almost lost his life for you before! Where is Xiaoyuan?"
Alianyi's eyes were red. "Injured for me! But he didn't save me, so it doesn't count as injured for me. If he had saved me, I wouldn't be in this state now! He went to Loulan. Going there is no different from being dead. Just treat him as dead!"
"You are simply unreasonable!" Shen Yining pushed away Alianyi who was approaching him.
But he grabbed her wrist again: "Princess Ning'an, I am unreasonable. Just wait for his body to come back."
"You...let me go!" Shen Yining's hand was held so tightly that it hurt. She struggled to get away from this crazy man, but she was not as strong as Allenyi and could not break free.
He looked at Shen Yining coldly, his face full of madness: "The former master of Loulan was still alive, but now the whole Loulan is in turmoil and wants to rebel! They want to struggle and turn over like you are now, but your Xiao Yuan is gone, he went alone... Now he is poisoned and can't even use martial arts, isn't it the same as death? Was I wrong? He likes to be a hero, so he can trick you into giving it to him, right?"
"Antidote! You have the antidote!" Shen Yining stopped struggling, stood firm and looked into his eyes.
Instead, Alianyi let her go, put on his clothes and said in a silent tone: "I don't have the antidote..."
"The Holy Lord said you did!"
"Then you have been deceived. Shen Yining, shouldn't you know me very well... How can I understand medical knowledge?"
Shen Yining turned around and walked out, and the lady followed him as usual. Shen Yining turned around and couldn't help but yelled at the lady: "Don't follow me anymore!!"
Alianyi walked out slowly and told the maid, "No need to follow me. Princess can come to Feiyu Pavilion anytime from now on."
Shen Yining looked at A Lianyi angrily, turned around and walked away alone without saying a word. The lady followed his instructions and did not follow him.
It was winter and the weather was very cold. Chi Ling stood on a tree branch in the camp, and Ah Wu picked meat to feed him. Since Song Xiaoyuan was imprisoned, Chi Ling had not sent any messages to him, and he had been waiting on the tree branch for food all day. At this moment, he closed his eyes after eating, and Ah Wu would not eat even if he fed him. Suddenly, as if he heard something, Chi Ling opened his eyes and turned to look outside the tent. The tent door curtain was closed, and Chi Ling flew up and fluttered on the curtain. Ah Wu put down the meat bowl: "Chi Ling!"
He hurriedly opened the curtain, and Chi Ling flew out and immediately flew high on the wind towards the direction of Qiang State. A Wu chased after it. He was happy at this moment. Looking at Chi Ling flying far away, he clenched his fists. A Wu wished he was also a Chi Ling: "Fly higher, Chi Ling! You can see the young master..." The movement of Chi Ling meant that Song Xiaoyuan had come out, and he was calling it!
Xuan Ji was also neighing in the stable, and the fodder soldier hurried over to report: "General Zhao, the black horse has been very excited today and has refused to eat the fodder."
Zhao Jinmo stood up and hurried to the stable with the fodder soldier. On the way, he met Awu who was rushing over. Zhao Jinmo hurriedly asked: "Awu, is the master's horse..."
Before he finished speaking, Ah Wu excitedly lowered his hands and said, "Young Master! Young Master is coming out!"
"Oh!! Really!" The three of them hurried over. Xuan Ji neighed and struggled. A Wu hurriedly untied his horse and chased after Xuan Ji, and Zhao Jinmo did the same.
After rushing all the way from Tongzhou to the gate of Qiang State, Ah Wu finally saw the young man in white. He was so happy that he dismounted from his horse and ran to the gate of the city in tears. He was stopped by the Qiang soldiers: "Young Master! I finally see you! Are you okay?"
Song Xiaoyuan was also stopped. He nodded and signaled to Zhao Jinmo, then raised his hand to comfort Awu: "It's okay, go back."
Zhao Jinmo looked at Song Xiaoyuan, who looked sick and thin, and frowned worriedly while holding the spear of the Qiang soldier who was blocking him: "Sir! You..."
"It's okay, go back."
Ah Wu wanted to push the spear away, anxious to see his son being held in the Qiang State as usual: "Sir, are you going to do something? Ah Wu will go with you!"
Song Xiaoyuan couldn't protect himself at this moment, so he nodded in agreement. Zhao Jinmo was about to speak, but when he saw the young man in white raised his hand to signal, he had to step back and clasp his fists: "My lord, take care!"
With tears in his eyes, Awu walked in and helped Song Xiaoyuan onto the horse, and instructed him, "Young Master, go slower! Young Master..." His throat tightened and he could not utter a word. He lowered his head and cried. It was the first time he saw his young master so haggard. When he was mounting the horse, he saw him covering his left chest with his hand, which must have hurt.
Song Xiaoyuan, who was on the horse, patted Awu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. I'm fine. Let's go."
Ah Wu raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, looked up at the young man who was still gentle despite his sick face, and nodded heavily: "Okay!" They mounted their horses, and the two of them looked back at Zhao Jinmo outside the city gate, whipped their horses, and left, followed by the Qiang soldiers.
Zhao Jinmo stopped and watched the two people walk away. The elegant demeanor that the master had at first seen was gone. The scholar looked frail under his pale and thin white clothes. He turned around, mounted his horse and whipped it back to Tongzhou. Something must have happened.
Shen Yining asked to see the Saint, but was told that she was not there, so he had to go back to the palace and sit by the window alone, the crescent moon was like a hook. Chi Ling fell silently, Shen Yining was surprised: "Chi..." Thinking of someone watching, he did not speak again. There was a letter at his feet, he gently stroked Chi Yue's soft feathers, unwrapped the letter and burst into tears of surprise.
[Yining, you must take care of yourself in Qiang. I will take you away when I return to Loulan. Don't worry if you are safe! ]
"Xiao Yuan..." Shen Yining stroked the letter gently, thinking of the time when he was writing at his desk while flowers were falling outside the window, and she was sitting opposite him secretly glancing at him... She reluctantly burned the letter to ashes in the candlelight.
Song Xiaoyuan came to look for Shen Yining that night, but was stopped in front of the palace. Alianyi handed Chiyue over and said, "If you meet her, the princess may not even have the freedom she has now. Do you still want to meet her?"
Song Xiaoyuan raised his sword, looked at him coldly, and turned to leave, not wanting to say anything more to him.
