First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 889 Going to see Xinyang (first update)

Xiao Heng looked at him and asked in confusion: "Brother, why don't you say anything? Did Aheng do something wrong? Then Aheng doesn't want these things."

 Are you kidding me?

Having given away things and thrown out water, can you still regret it?

Where does this put the dignity of His Majesty the Ghost King?

Shangguan Qing knocked out his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach. He was so aggrieved that he couldn't help it.

On the way back, he didn’t want Xiao Heng to say a word.

While passing by a shop selling preserved meat, the carriage stopped.

Shangguan Qing asked angrily: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Heng said: "I bought dried meat from this shop when I entered the city this morning. It was not ready yet. Let me come back in an hour. It should be almost done now."

Shangguan Qing raised his eyebrows: "How do you know I like to eat dried meat?"

Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment: "Ah, I don't know, I bought it for Jiaojiao."

 I was caught off guard and was stuffed with another mouthful of dog food.

Shangguan Qing had a dark face and decided to ignore this younger brother for the rest of his life!

 Xiao Heng went to the shop to get the dried meat and had to wait for a while.

The carriage was very stuffy, so Shangguan Qing decided to get out of the carriage and get some fresh air.

 He stood at the door of the shop for a while.

The aroma of meat jerky made people want to eat, but he didn't have much appetite these days. From time to time, there were guests passing by, so he stepped aside a little.

 At last I had no choice but to go into the shop.

This shop sells preserved meat and other snacks. Customers can take away or dine in.

There were many people at the moment and the lobby was crowded. Xiao Heng didn’t like lively scenes, so he went to the backyard to wait alone.

Shangguan Qing looked at Xiao Heng who was acting dignified and self-possessed, and the evil thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart came out again.

He came behind Xiao Heng without leaving a trace. When Xiao Heng turned around to get the dried meat, he stretched out his foot to trip him up.

The yard is covered with thick snow, and it won’t hurt if he falls. At most, it will only make Xiao Heng embarrassed.

 And Xiao Heng really didn’t know that Shangguan Qing had come to cause trouble.

This move was supposed to be successful, but Shangguan Qing took too big a step and lost his footing. He slipped and fell forward.

"oops-"

He screamed.

Xiao Heng turned around and almost instinctively stretched out his hand to grab Shangguan Qing.

 The inertia was too great and they couldn't catch it. The two brothers fell to the snow together.

 At this time, the brothel madam across the street came in through the back door to buy dried meat. As soon as she entered the backyard, two young men fell under her pomegranate skirt.

 Lao Bustard: “???”

Shangguan Qing: “???”

Xiao Heng: “???”

The madam was startled at first, then she was trembling with excitement, and the makeup on her face slid off. She put one hand on her fat waist, and held the handkerchief with the other and pointed at the two of them. She gritted her teeth and said: "Where did you come from, that little bastard! In broad daylight." You dare to take advantage of me now! You are not doing anything right! Let’s see how I deal with you!”

 As she spoke, she bent down and was about to grab the ears of the two brothers.

 The two brothers exchanged a look.

Shangguan Qing: “Run!”

The two brothers stood up from the snow. Shangguan Qing grabbed Xiao Heng's wrist and rushed out of the back door in one breath!

“You took advantage of me and ran away? Stop for me!”

“I told you to stop! Do you hear me?”

 “Someone is coming! Arrest those two boys!”

The two brothers' scalps exploded and they ran forward as fast as they could reincarnate.

“Over there!” Xiao Heng pointed to the alley on the right and said.

"No! Left! I am the elder brother! Listen to me!" Shangguan Qing decisively pulled his younger brother and turned into the alley on the left.

Facts have proved that Shangguan Qing did not lead the wrong way.

The two of them ran for who knows how long. After making sure that no one from Chunhua Tower caught up with them, they held on to the fence on the side and gasped for air.

This used to be a dyeing workshop. After the war, the people in the workshop left and everything inside was emptied, leaving only an empty yard.

Shangguan Qing lost all his strength and lay directly in the snow.

Xiao Heng glanced at him and lay down next to him.

 “How do you know to go left?” he asked, “Have you walked by?”

 “I haven’t been there before, so I have an intuition.” Shangguan Qing said.

Xiao Heng thought for a moment and felt that it was not intuition but experience.

Shangguan Qing was not a child who was confined to a house and grew up. He didn’t like studying, but it didn’t mean that he wasn’t knowledgeable enough.

Isn’t there a saying that reading ten thousand books is worse than traveling ten thousand miles?

  It is the most appropriate word to describe Shangguan Qing.

“On the first day when brothers met, they ‘molested’ the brothel’s aunt together...” Shangguan Qing habitually wanted to say the girl, but when he thought of the madam’s appearance, he decisively changed his words, “Auntie.”

When he said this, Xiao Heng couldn't help laughing.

　　Yeah, who are brothers like these two?

　　They met and fought in various ways, and finally the two of them were fooled together.

Shangguan Qing looked at the blue sky with white clouds and said, "Hey, shouldn't scholars be honest? Or is it that being your number one scholar is different from ordinary scholars?"

"What?" Xiao Heng didn't understand for a moment. He also looked at the sky, feeling very strange.

Shangguan Qing said casually: "You took my money bag with me, right? And those antiques, did you do it on purpose?"

Without giving Xiao Heng a chance to make excuses, he hummed to himself, "I thought you were such a nerd!"

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a small glutinous rice dumpling stuffed with black sesame and thick skin!

After being exposed, Xiao Heng didn't feel any embarrassment.

This is not in line with his temperament. He can do very shameless things in front of outsiders, but he is not so profound when facing his own people.

 So, why do you get along so naturally with Shangguan Qinghui?

 Because he is the elder brother?

 You can let yourself go and be yourself with peace of mind, because you understand me, just like I understand you.

 We are like each other’s other selves in the world.

Xiao Heng put his right arm behind his head and said calmly: "It's not as powerful as yours."

 Thick-skinned.

 “I’m your brother, of course I’m better than you!” He said this, but it was only now that he really came to his senses.

 As soon as I lay on the snow, my mind suddenly opened up.

  No evidence was needed, it was more like a feeling between brothers, and he suddenly understood that this boy was playing a trick on him.

He said calmly: "Hey, Number One Scholar, recite a poem and listen to it."

Now that the window paper was pierced, Xiao Heng no longer pretended to be a good little brother, and rejected him very coldly: "I won't bear it."

"You've shown your true form, haven't you?" Shangguan Qing turned around, glared at Xiao Heng coldly, and said mockingly, "You are a younger brother, but you still dare to disobey your elder brother? Can you become a little more self-conscious about being a younger brother?"

"You have to carry it on your own." Xiao Heng said calmly, turned over in the snow, and gave Shangguan Qing a big swing on his back.

Shangguan Qing was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the villain in his heart jumped up. He picked up his stinky brother and beat him Duang-Duang-Duang into the snow, the kind that he couldn't even dig out!

"snort!"

Shangguan Qing snorted and did not turn over, but closed his eyes coldly.

Xiao Heng opened his eyes, feeling the heat on his body dissipate little by little, and quietly looked at the scenery in the distance.

 The wind has stopped and there are more people on the street.

Occasionally, passers-by would notice them, look at them as if they were fools, and then pass by in a hurry.

The meeting between the two brothers was very sudden, and neither of them was mentally prepared. Maybe Shangguan Qing was a little prepared, but only a little.

 From the time the two met until now, some topics have been avoided.

 For example, do you want the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson to be returned to you?

  For example, if I take your antidote, will you be angry?

 Actually, neither the young marquis of Zhaodu nor the eldest grandson of Emperor Yan had a smooth life. It is difficult to say who endured the greater suffering.

 Xiao Heng did not die, but the young marquis of Zhaodu died once.

Shangguan Qing is still alive, but his life is coming to an end.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiao Heng's body became cold.

 “It’s time to get up.” He said, “Don’t lie down. You’ll catch a cold if you lie down any longer.”

 He sat up.

Shangguan Qing behind him did not react.

 He looked at Shangguan Qing strangely.

Shangguan Qing's face turned pale, and his lips were bloodless.

 When I saw him in the camp in the morning, his face was not as rosy as normal, but he was not as weak as now.

“Shangguan Qing, what’s wrong with you?” Xiao Heng raised his hand and touched his forehead.

 Not hot.

 But his breath was very weak.

Xiao Heng patted his shoulder gently: "Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Qing, Shangguan Qing!"

  Xiao Heng is not a long-term healer, but he can still tell whether a person is really weak.

 No wonder he hasn’t moved since he laid down.

He was either too lazy to move or simply couldn't move.

 “Wake up!”

 “Don’t you want to hear me recite a poem? I’ll recite it to you!”

“It’s snowy in the Tianshan Mountains in May, and there are no flowers, only cold. I hear broken willows in the flute, but I haven’t seen the spring scenery. I fight with the golden drum at dawn, and hug the jade saddle at night. I would like to put the sword under my waist to kill Loulan!"

“…It’s really unpleasant.” Shangguan Qing slowly opened his heavy eyelids and glanced weakly at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng corrected him: "This poem is not unpleasant to listen to!"

"It's your voice." Shangguan Qing rolled his eyes and said, "How old are you?"

 Xiao Heng's throat was a little sore, and there was a hint of choking in his voice that he was not even aware of.

Xiao Heng took a long breath. In just one move, his back was already soaked.

“I don’t even call you brother anymore,” Shangguan Qing complained.

Xiao Heng chuckled and said, "Can you beat me or pass my test? Why do you call me brother?"

Shangguan Qing grabbed the firecracker in the snow and said, "One shot will kill you."

 “Brother.” Those who know the current affairs are distinguished.

Shangguan Qing hummed with satisfaction.

The wind became stronger and stronger, Xiao Heng reached out his hand: "I will help you up."

Shangguan Qing suddenly said: "I can't wait for the antidote."

  Xiao Heng’s hand paused, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: “No, father will definitely bring the antidote back.”

Shangguan Qing did not answer, but looked at the distant sky and said, "How is she doing?"

 It didn't say which "she" it was, it might even be "he".

But Xiao Heng was stunned for just a moment before he understood who she was referring to.

Without waiting for Xiao Heng's reply, Shangguan Qing spoke in a low voice: "Take me to meet her. I want to take a look at her before leaving."
