Rebirth of the Anti Demon Gate

It rained all night, accompanied by vague palpitations, Xuan reluctantly slept for two hours.

The sky gradually turned white, and the rain finally stopped. There was a kind of earthy fragrance in the air, and the fresh air was inhaled into the lungs, and the heavy feeling was a little less.

Someone opened the door and came in, and there was the sound of rustling clothes, and a petite figure was reflected on the curtain in front of the bed.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

"……kindness."

"Let the servants serve you up."

"……it is good"

The curtain was torn open, revealing Qinglian's delicate face, still in a blue dress, when she was helped to sit up, Xuan noticed a faint black shadow under Qinglian's eyes.

"...Your Highness." After putting on the clothes for Xuan, Qinglian bent over, arranging the hem of the clothes and the accessories hanging around her waist.The actions of his subordinates paused, and he finally asked the words he had held back all night, "Yesterday... when the prince came... are you really okay?"

I remembered that after the prince left last night, Qinglian was not asked to serve again.This girl won't stay up all night because of what happened yesterday.

"It's okay..." I don't want to talk about what happened yesterday.

"Ah, the servant is relieved." Qinglian smiled reassuringly, "This morning, the servant cooked white porridge, and there are a few side dishes that His Highness likes. Your Highness hasn't eaten for a few days, so I want to eat more today." some."

Thinking of Qinglian's reaction when she saw the prince last night, this girl obviously knew something.

After breakfast, a guard outside reported that someone from the Eastern Palace had asked to see the Fifth Prince.

The person who came was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch, holding a pile of brocade boxes, saying that it was a tonic given to the fifth prince by His Highness the Crown Prince.Although the little eunuch spoke respectfully and behaved well, his eyes were obviously filled with disdain and contempt.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the palace before dawn. He asked his servants to tell His Highness the Fifth Highness, please rest and recuperate. He will come back as soon as possible after the matter in the west is resolved."

"Get out with your stuff, our master doesn't need it." Before Xuan could make a sound, Qinglian on the side shouted first.

Xuan was startled, and turned to look at Qinglian beside her, clenched fists, a pair of almond eyes full of anger, biting her lips blue and white.

"What are you doing?" The little eunuch in the East Palace was also taken aback, not understanding why Qinglian reacted like this. "This is a reward from the crown prince."

"It is because of his things that our Highness is not rare." Qing Lian blushed and murmured, "If it wasn't for him...our Highness..."

The next sentence was too quiet, even Xuan couldn't hear it clearly.

"Bold, it's the opposite, you dare to be so rude to His Highness the Crown Prince." The little eunuch kneeling on the ground shouted in a shrill voice, "You are too ignorant, Fifth Highness, this kind of slave, you have to teach me a lesson. lesson.

With a loud crash, the white teacup hit the ground, green tea flowed out, and the ground was in a mess, but the room fell silent, and Xuan dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Your Highness, please calm down." Qing Lian immediately knelt down on the ground, did her impulsiveness hurt His Highness Fifth?Qinglian lowered her head, tears rolled into her eyes, but she was stubborn and didn't want to let them fall, and didn't want the people in the East Palace to see the joke.

"Since you are a slave, you should abide by the rules." A faint sentence.

"Your Highness Fifth is indeed a sensible person." The little eunuch of the Eastern Palace looked at Qinglian and smiled smugly.

Xuan glanced at the eunuch, ignored him, his brows were stern, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Qinglian, you know you are wrong."

"Qinglian is not wrong." Although the girl on the ground lowered her head, her back was straight, with a stubborn look.

"You still say there is nothing wrong?" Xuan's smile deepened, "Knowing that the hall is not in good health, you still let the dog in casually, disturbing the rest of your highness."

"Your Highness?" Qinglian looked up in confusion, and saw An Yi with a smile on the corner of her mouth, that smile was a kind of expression that Qinglian had never seen before. "Your Highness, what dog are you talking about?"

"Isn't it the dog that ran out of the East Palace?" Xuan slightly raised his hand, pointing to the little eunuch not far away, "How dare he run in front of my Highness to act wildly."

"Ah?" Qinglian was stunned.

"Why, is it necessary for His Highness to drive that dog out personally?"

"Hee hee..." Qinglian Linglong thought, and she quickly realized that she stood up from the ground and patted the dust off her clothes, "Of course I don't dare to bother Your Highness, this servant will beat this mad dog out."

"Your Highness Fifth, what do you mean?" The little eunuch looked at Xuan in horror. Although the fifth prince in front of him was smiling, why did he feel a chill, and the chill crawled up his back.

Xuan didn't say anything, just kept laughing, watching Qinglian beat the little eunuch out with a feather duster.This girl is really fierce, Xuan thinks it is very interesting, with such a girl by his side, life should be very interesting.

Qinglian is really loyal to An Yi, and she has seen enough in the past two days.He somewhat understood the fifth prince's status in the palace, an existence that even a young eunuch dared to despise.The shabby living room, although the clothes on the body are of good fabrics, are very old, and there are almost no complete tea leaves in the tea they drink, and they are all broken leaves and residues.

Xuan hasn't walked out of this room so far, so he doesn't know the situation of Jinghu Garden, so it must not be too good.Looking at Qinglian protecting the Lord, it is like the old hen protecting the young chickens when the chickens meet the eagle.Is this Prince An Yi really a prince? A master who needs a maid to protect him is really ridiculous and pathetic.

"Your Highness, that person was driven away by Qinglian." Qinglian, who was chasing that person out, quickly turned back, and the brocade boxes left by the little eunuch were scattered on the ground, some of which were thrown open, revealing the contents inside. Millennium ginseng "Your Highness, what should I do with these things?"

"Burn." Xuan didn't even look at it, these things were just dead branches in his eyes.

"..." Qinglian picked up those brocade boxes one by one, and bit her lips lightly, "Your Highness, it's a pity to burn them, why don't we keep them..."

"Qinglian, it was you who said no just now."

"That's me..." Qinglian lowered her head, "His Royal Highness actually still needs these supplements."

Seeing Qinglian's awkward look, Xuan suddenly understood that it is rare to find such good medicinal materials in Jinghu Garden, so even though she was angry, Qinglian still wanted to keep these medicinal materials for herself.

"Don't want it if you don't want it, why bother yourself." Xuan stood up, walked in front of Qinglian, and patted her on the shoulder, "If I care, even the world will..."

"Your Highness..." Qinglian raised her head. The face of the person in front of her was unnaturally fair, which was caused by the lack of sunlight in the room for a long time. Her long jet black hair was casually draped behind her back, and her cold eyebrows, but that The lips, which were so pale that they were almost transparent, were slightly curled up, with a hint of an arrogant smile hanging on them.It was this smile that made Qinglian stunned.Ever since she was with the fifth prince, Qinglian rarely saw him smile, and even if this expression occasionally appeared on His Highness's face, it also carried a bit of bitterness and pitiful self-mockery.

"what happened to you?"

"No...it's nothing." Qinglian came back to her senses, and said hesitantly, "Your Highness...it feels...somewhat different from before."

"Really?" Xuan smiled, "Maybe...it's really different."

At noon, there is still clear porridge and a few plates of vegetables.After lunch and medicine, Xuan proposed to go out for a walk, but Qinglian got a strange expression.

"His Royal Highness, you are going out of Jinghu Garden, I heard you right."

"What? What's wrong?" Xuan felt that his request was normal, why did Qinglian react so strongly.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that His Highness hasn't stepped out of Jinghu Garden for two years."

"Two years? It's time to go out."

It was the first time I walked out of the house, and it was also the first time I saw the whole picture of Jinghu Garden. It is said that the garden is a bit exaggerated, but it is actually a small yard with a small pond in the middle. The door is in the south, the main house is in the north, and there are There are two wing rooms, and Xuan's bedroom is on the east side.

There was no one else in the yard, and a small wooden bridge in the middle of the pond led to the door.

"Your Highness Fifth, why did you come out?" Standing at the door was a young man in light armor. He was tall, with a burly figure, healthy bronze skin, and a hearty smile.

"Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Qinglian was very familiar with that man.

"Yes, I was transferred to Gyeongbokgung Palace to be on duty a while ago." The guard smiled, showing his white teeth, "But I'm back now, and I will still be the guard of Jinghu Garden in the future."

"I just wanted to congratulate you on your promotion, why did you get demoted back to our place?" As soon as she said the words, Qinglian sensed that something was wrong. Didn't she say that Jinghu Garden is a very bad place?He hurriedly looked at the fifth prince beside him, afraid of causing his master's sadness.Fortunately, His Highness Fifth Highness didn't seem to respond, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Actually, I still like to stay in Jinghuyuan. The food cooked by Qinglian is better than the royal chef in the palace."

"Forget it, you have eaten the dishes made by the imperial chef." Qinglian curled her lips, "However, it's really good that Brother Yu is back."

"I heard that Your Highness has suffered another heart attack. Why don't you recuperate in the house? What are you going to do when you come out?"

"Go out for a walk, more activities are good for your body." Xuan nodded to the guard.

"That's right, you should go out and walk around more. How can you always be bored in the room? You finally figured it out, Your Highness." The guard surnamed Yu shook his arms in a serious manner, showing his strong muscles "body It just takes exercise to get strong."

"Okay, okay, Brother Yu, when did you become so wordy." Qinglian gently pushed the guard, "Hurry up and get out of the way, let Your Highness go out."

"Ah, yes, yes." The guard smiled honestly, and moved a step away from the side, "Please, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, let's go." Qinglian supported Xuan to leave the Mirror Lake Garden.

It was the beginning of summer, the scenery in the palace was just right, the warm wind was blowing head-on, with the smell of grass.

Along the way, I met many maids and servants, but Xuan found that their attitudes towards them were very intriguing.Or ignore, or look at in surprise, or ridicule, or be at a loss.

"Sister Bizhu, who was that person just now?"

"He, he is the Fifth Prince."

"Huh, fifth prince? Then we didn't greet you just now."

"Don't worry, he is a prince in name, but his status in the palace may not be as good as ours."

"Hey, how do you say that?"

"The emperor doesn't like him. I heard that he was thrown in the Mirror Lake Garden next to the Leng Palace since he was a child."

"What about the fifth prince's mother, don't you care about him?"

"You are new to the palace. I don't know. The fifth prince was brought back from outside the palace by the emperor when he was two years old. No one knows who his biological mother is. I also heard from the old ladies."

"very pitiful……"

"What's so pitiful, this is fate, I can only blame his bad fate."

Behind them came the voices of the maids whispering, although their voices were very small, Xuan could still hear them clearly.

"I hate it to death. I always like to gossip behind others' backs." Qinglian muttered softly.

"Let's go. I want to sit by the lake." Xuan smiled. "It's also good to hear some little sparrows chirping once in a while."

"..." Qinglian felt that since the Fifth Highness woke up from the illness this time, she was really different from before.His Highness was always very sad when encountering these things before, but now there is no trace of sadness on that face, as if what those people said had nothing to do with him.I don't know why this happened, but it should be a good thing.

In the small gazebo by the lake, Qinglian supported Xuan to sit on a stone bench, the sun left a golden radiance on the lake, Xuan held a wicker to tease the koi in the lake, and saw groups of fish competing to peck each other. Wicker in drinking water.

"Your Highness is really amazing, they all swam over here." Qinglian also forgot the troubles just now, and started playing with Xuan, the joyful laughter came from the gazebo, drifting far away.

A group of people came along the small road in the distance. The leader was a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe, followed by several servants, and then silver-armored guards, walking towards the lake.

"Zhao Jin, why did I hear laughter?" The middle-aged man stopped and asked the servant beside him.

"Going back to the emperor, it's the voice from the gazebo on the lake over there." The old slave looked towards Xuan, the corners of his wrinkled eyes trembled. "Your Majesty, it seems to be the Fifth Prince."

"It's Yi'er?" A trace of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, following the direction the old eunuch pointed, he saw the white figure in the gazebo.His long jet black hair was tied casually behind his back. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were exceptionally bright and he looked very energetic.

"Your Highness Fifth seems to be in good spirits." The old eunuch said with a bit of a sigh, "Your Majesty can feel at ease."

"He looks exactly like her mother. You know, among all my children, Yi'er is the one I care about the most, because he is unique." The emperor's eyes shone with love.

"This old slave knows that the Fifth Highness will also understand in the future that everything you do now is only to protect him."

"I hope so." The emperor sighed, "I always feel that I owe him too much."
