Chapter 176 Winter Snow
"Why do I bother you to look for Concubine Lang Gui..."
Bai Qianqian couldn't help but sound a little sour while speaking, but the two of them were in open contact at the moment and couldn't show it too obviously.
Helian Tuo naturally understood her thoughts, but because of Shen Rongrong's matter, he was already in a bad mood, and it was inevitable that he was a little more impatient with Bai Qianqian.
"As a member of the royal family, the emperor's affairs are naturally my own business."
Helian Tuo was about to leave when he spoke. Bai Qianqian was stunned by his attitude and couldn't help but call out to him, "Prince!"
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she asked aggrievedly, "Prince, did Qianqian do something wrong?"
Helian Tuo looked at her and suddenly smiled, but his smile was a little cold, "Your Highness knows what you did."
Bai Qianqian was stunned, and subconsciously remembered Shen Rongrong's dance last night, and her heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that her plot against Shen Rongrong was discovered?
That's why she sent him a message last night wanting to meet him secretly today, but the prince didn't respond to her...
Helian Tuo looked at Bai Qianqian, who looked a little guilty and unwilling. He was dissatisfied with her for not considering the overall situation and disrupting his plan. He wanted to let her know his attitude, and his face became more and more indifferent.
"I have informed my father that there is no need for me to choose a wife for the time being. Since you wish me not to marry, I will do as you wish."
He paused deliberately as he spoke, with a look of helplessness and loneliness on his face, "This way, you can also believe in my feelings for you."
Helian Tuo stopped talking and walked forward without caring about her reaction, leading the horse.
Bai Qianqian was shocked by his words. She subconsciously wanted to catch up with him to explain, but Ziyue stopped her and whispered, "Madam, this is outside."
Bai Qianqian was anxious, shocked and worried about what Helian Tuo had just said.
I wanted to rush over and explain it to him.
She really didn't mean to ask him to never marry, nor did she not believe him, she just couldn't accept it for the time being...
Because of Helian Tuo's words, Bai Qianqian felt as if she was on fire for the whole night.
If Si Linglong witnessed the whole scene, she might not be able to help but sigh.
Heliantuo's method of abusing fans is quite professional...
Anyway, it can be said that no one slept well that night.
It was also that night that a winter snow fell quietly and lasted for three days.
Considering the difficulty of traveling in the snow, Helian Yue ordered to postpone the return trip. At this time, a guard from the Imperial Army Camp came on horseback to report that the mountain road to the Huguo Temple where the Queen Mother was worshipping Buddha was blocked by snow, and the group of people were currently trapped in the temple.
When Helian Yue heard the news, he immediately ordered some of his men to stay behind to escort everyone back to the capital, while he led the rest of his men to the Huguo Temple.
Since Yutai Mountain, where the Huguo Temple is located, is not far from Jiuzhu Mountain, it would be most appropriate for Helian Yue to lead his men directly there. However, the news came suddenly and no one had time to react.
The same is true for Si Linglong.
Because of her anger, Si Linglong had been hiding in her tent for the past two days, and Helian Yue was waiting for her to calm down and think things through. In addition, there were some memorials sent from the palace that needed to be dealt with urgently, so the two had not seen each other for the past two days.
When Si Linglong heard the news and walked out of the tent, she only had time to see his back in light armor sitting on the horse.
As she approached with Concubine Quan and her entourage, the man seemed to sense something, turned his head, and accurately captured her figure among the concubines.
Their eyes met and Si Linglong subconsciously looked away.
[What are you looking at? I'm just following the crowd and coming to see you off. Do you understand my superficial efforts? ]
The more Helian listened to her inner thoughts, he knew that she was still angry. He pursed his lips and said nothing. His eyes lingered on her slightly well-behaved hair for a few moments before he rode away with his men amid the respectful farewells of the concubines.
Si Linglong followed the crowd and watched the huge group of people moving further and further away. She felt a sense of emptiness in her heart until she saw a group of people turn a corner and head in a certain direction.
She blinked, a little stunned.
[Why does that direction seem familiar? ]
As if she thought of something, Si Linglong suddenly turned her head to look at the dense forest where Cheng Huang had disappeared before, and the golden thread that it left for her, flowing in a certain direction.
[This is the direction that Master Cheng Huang pointed me to! ! ]
[Could it be that the place indicated in that direction is the Gokokuji Temple?! ]
Si Linglong suddenly couldn't sit still anymore.
If Cheng Huang pointed to the direction of Huguo Temple...
So here comes the problem.
[How can I escape from the current large group and catch up with Helian Yue's large group? ? ]
