Chapter 52 Piano Sound



Why?

Zongzheng Xiaoting's eyeballs moved, and his long eyelashes fluttered as his eyelids drooped. If he were Situ Xunxiao, he would probably ask who the little palace maid who saved him was, right?

Situ Xunxiao was so cautious in his actions, which showed how suspicious and defensive he was. If I were in his shoes, I would definitely ask who saved me right away. Of course, this had nothing to do with good feelings.

If it is true as the rumors say, Situ Xunxiao is not someone who is easily moved. If he is moved by me, I am afraid that he has never met someone who values ​​money as much as his life. Is he acting this way? Sometimes, some good feelings start from curiosity.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and shook his head, and simply told Qingqing about his encounter with Situ Xunxiao. Naturally, he couldn't help but think about the inadvertent kiss. Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head, automatically filtering out that little episode, and told Qingqing everything.

And Qingqing, who was standing by, seemed to understand something gradually.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting stopped talking, and ran his fingertips through her hair, thinking about his own ideas, and letting Qingqing think about her own plans beside him.

The silence between the master and servant made Cuiyun Palace silent and hushed.

"Princess, now, isn't it said that the War God Prince of Yunguang Kingdom mistook you for a slave?"

"That's right, the person who is most capable to this princess is only you, Qingqing. You are able to save people and hide them in Cuiyun Palace. I'm afraid that except for the princess's confidant, no one else has the confidence to hide people." Zong Zheng Xiaoting winked at Qingqing mischievously.

"I understand. Now, if my identity is exposed, it will be equivalent to the princess's identity being exposed. After the assassination incident, the princess asked Qingqing to represent you and showed that she loved money as much as her life. Is it because the princess knew about it all along?"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting shook his head. "That's right and wrong. Originally, I was just thinking of taking precautions. After all, the other party's identity was uncertain at that time, and I only guessed that he was a secret agent of the marriage alliance with another country. I didn't think too much about it. I asked you to play such a role in order to cover up for myself."

Qingqing heard this and nodded firmly, "I understand."

"So, now we have to be careful."

"Then Qingqing will report to the Empress immediately."

"No rush. Let's call Doctor Chen to come and take a look. As for you, I'm afraid you will have to close the door and refuse visitors." Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised the corner of his mouth.

"Yes!" As soon as Qingqing heard her master's decision, she quickly went to the Imperial Hospital. Zongzheng Xiaoting, who was bored, got up and walked to the guzheng beside her. She stroked it with her jade hand and had an idea.

Her delicate hands gently plucked the strings of the zither, and the sound of the zither aroused Zongzheng Xiaoting's melancholy. She walked around the zither platform and exhaled a long breath from her nose, which sounded helpless and melancholy.

I don't know how my mother is doing now. In my memory, she would get sick whenever there was any unusual movement. I must find this jade haze ball as soon as possible.

Missing her mother, Zong Zheng Xiaoting hesitated and plucked the strings of the zither. The sisters had been taught by their mother Xianhui since they were young, and they were proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. They could still adapt to this ancient era.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting lowered his eyelids, touched the strings of the zither with his bare hands, his fingertips slid, and the sound of the zither was faint.

This is the origin of the saying "one can know a person's heart by listening to the music".

At this moment, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was worried. The sound of the piano plucked from his fingertips was filled with hidden sorrow, making the originally majestic flowing water song even more helpless because of Zong Zheng Xiaoting's inner sorrow.

Although this piece of music does not belong to this era, it is still ranked as one of the top ten ancient songs in the 21st century, and it has its own excellence and wonderful sound.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was immersed in his own world, did not know that this song, which was sung out of emotion and sorrow, attracted the attention of Nangong Muxi, who had originally shaken off the attention of the palace ladies to admire the scenery of the Luozha Kingdom's palace.

Nangong Muxi's charming peach blossom eyes showed surprise without disguising it. He followed the sound of the piano and approached Cuiyun Palace step by step. The closer he got, the more admiration he had in his eyes. It was incredible that a piece of music could depict the trickling mountain springs and rushing rivers in front of the listener's eyes. It transformed the hearing, and its melody brought different feelings to the heart, either stable or light. It even made him feel the collision of water and rocks and the rapid rotation of whirlpools. He was fascinated and yearned for it.

Nangong Muxi quickened his pace, his eyes showing urgency, fearing that if he was a little late, the sound of the zither would stop and the person playing the zither would be nowhere to be found. Finally, Nangong Muxi landed outside Cuiyun Palace, and with his swift light skills, he climbed over the wall and entered through a wooden door, but he could not bear to disturb her and listened quietly.

only……

Obviously, the discordant sounds are used intentionally to increase the impact of the water, and the short overtones remind people of the joy and relief of the water colliding along the way and then converging into a river. However, there is a hint of sadness. Although this sadness is obscure, it cannot escape the eyes of Nangong Muxilai, who is proficient in music.

Even before I saw the true face of Lushan, I already felt pity for it.

Nangong Muxi laughed at himself.

The slight sound made Zongzheng Xiaoting's piano stop abruptly. Nangong Muxi, who was about to push the door open, was alerted by the person coming. He frowned, as if he was unhappy, but soon calmed down. Now, his status was not suitable for him to climb over the wall like this. Although he and the emperor of Luozha Kingdom were allowed to visit the magnificent palace and enter the harem to find out what was going on as a friend, it was not appropriate for him to be too arrogant.

Getting rid of the eunuchs was one thing, but not entering through the main gate meant getting lost, which was not an excuse.

Nangong Muxi stared at the closed door, looked away with some regret, and disappeared into Cuiyun Palace in one leap.

Chen Xianzhi, who followed Qingqing into Cuiyun Palace, seemed to have noticed something. He stared in the direction where Nangong Muxi left and narrowed his eyes.

"Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen!" Qingqing was walking along the path when she realized that Doctor Chen had stopped. She had no choice but to turn back and call him a few times.

Chen Xianzhi looked at Qingqing and smiled gently, "Let's go."

Qingqing followed Doctor Chen and asked him in a low voice: "Doctor Chen, did you find anything? Now, the princess is doing this for your sake. You can't have anything that would harm our princess. We are in the same boat."

"Haha, Miss Qingqing, don't worry. I just remembered that there seems to be something in the medical books that may be able to cure the princess's poison. I would not do something ungrateful." Chen Xianzhi comforted Qingqing's heart and walked into the inner hall with the medicine box on his back.

"Princess, Doctor Chen is here." Seeing the palace door closed, Qingqing lowered her voice and spoke to Zong Zheng Xiaoting who was inside the house, fearing that her master would be frightened by the sudden high-pitched voice while she was resting.

"Come in." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled knowingly when he heard Qingqing's voice. This little girl was obviously loud, and every time she whispered so considerately, it always touched his heart.

The door opened as Qingqing pushed it gently. Zong Zheng Xiaoting appeared with her hair disheveled, wearing goose-yellow casual clothes and a fox fur cape. Her face, with bright eyes and white teeth, and without makeup, lacked the dignified and noble look she usually had when she was dressed up.

Without the ugly face that was deliberately made up, Zong Zheng Xiaoting was like a lotus flower emerging from the water in the eyes of Doctor Chen, as if she was not affected by the worldly affairs, which was stunning.

"Your humble servant has seen the princess." Qingqing's coughs reminded the slightly distracted Doctor Chen to come to his senses. Doctor Chen bowed hastily with some embarrassment.

"Doctor Chen, there's no need to be so polite." Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled and waved his hand.

Imperial Physician Chen just stood aside, thanking him politely.

This was the first time that I saw such a friendly princess. One person could have so many different faces, the natural gentleness and the majestic and domineering, which were contradictory yet harmonious.

The most important thing for a woman is etiquette and manners, and this is even more so for a noble princess. However, the princess in front of her didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it and summoned her like this. A princess who doesn't follow the rules makes her uneasy about how to proceed.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the subtle movements on Chen Xianzhi's face, the corners of his lips slightly raised, his eyes flickering.
