Survival
The rain was falling continuously in the dark clouds and moonlit night, and the cold and lonely city was deserted, and there was no longer the short-lived lively scene on the occasion of Mrs. Rong Ying's birthday a few days ago.
The doors of each palace were closed very early, and everyone secretly wondered why there was a sudden coolness in the autumn in this good summer night.
And all this, the clouds that are crawling in the tunnel right now don't know.
She only felt hot and humid, and her mind was a little dizzy, but she never forgot Xianyue's tearful eyes and earnest entrustment to herself before she left.
This cave originally carved out for letter dogs is not very spacious, and the narrow cave is even darker, as if there is no end in sight. The shallow layer of muddy water under her body was also very sticky, causing her skin to itch slightly, but Shuyun knew that this was the best way for her to escape from the cold and lonely city.
Shuyun held the faint fire fold in his right wrist, and crawled forward with all his strength in his left hand.
She didn't dare to estimate how long she still had to go, and she didn't know what kept her going......
Is it really just to see Ze Xiu, or to live up to Xianyue's sincerity to himself?
She suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and before she knew it, the two people she cared about the most in the world had become a pair of beautiful people she once deeply resented.
Although from the very beginning of her friendship with Xianyue, she often had a sympathetic affection for Shuyun, and she always felt that she was the same as her former self, a poor person who was ruthlessly abandoned by the uncertain Lonely Zexiu. But then she relieved herself, and she was always too wishful thinking.
Although Xianyue has never said it, how can she and herself be the same in Ze Xiu's heart?
Ze Xiu is sincere to Xianyue, and she is the only person in this world who can bear Ze Xiu's sincerity. And in this cold palace wall, I can only feel the slightest comfort and relief when I am with her...... So she wants to live, and she hopes that she will one day be able to return smoothly and reunite with Xianyue.
So now I have to work hard and try my best to survive!
No matter how difficult it is, even if the road ahead is boundless, she Cui Shuyun has to do her best to grasp it with all her life!
A few hours later, the tall pale cyan figure at the end of the corridor, leaning lightly in front of the bookcase, was slightly anxiously caressing the oily hair of the little orange cat lying in his arms.
It was midnight, and it was almost a full day and night before the agreed departure time in the letter.
Luo Yunyao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was an obvious sad look on his face like a crown of jade. If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly received a letter of entrustment written by Nalan Xianyue the day before yesterday, he would not have been so nervous about someone he had never met. He naturally understood that Concubine Li Xian was the person his cousin put in the deepest part of his heart. Although I don't know why Yan Jingzhi suddenly involved her, how could I ignore her earnest request?
It's just that I don't know if Mrs. Rong Ying, who is pampered on weekdays, will not be able to stand such hardships and faint on the way......
Just as he was hesitating in his heart, the palm-sized cat in his arms suddenly opened his eyes and meowed softly.
Luo Yunyao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put the cat in his arms in the brocade nest on the rattan trellis, and then raised his hand and gently twisted the Pixiu table on his side, so that the bookcase was slowly shifted. Then he crouched down and lifted a crescent-colored floor tile, revealing a dark hole in the study.
The candlelight inside the house was dim, and the drizzle in the elegant courtyard outside was quiet.
At this moment, after a heavy gasp, a pair of slender hands suddenly emerged from the hole. Luo Yunyao's heart tightened, and then he leaned down and forcefully held the soft and boneless soft wattles, and finally helped Shuyun's entire weak body out of the dark corridor.
For fear of hurting her eyesight, Luo Yunyao only lit a thin candle at each of the four corners of the room in the morning. But even in such dim light and shadow, at the moment when the two of them looked at each other, his heart, which had been as calm as a waveless ancient well for nearly twenty years, was quietly shaken in a moment......
What kind of beautiful eyes are that, the cut pupils are like a pair of rare pearls, soft and resolute, and the fire of hope can be ignited in a desperate situation.
Shuyun was covered in mud, his clothes were tattered, and a large area of her torn delicate skin was exposed, and he looked very embarrassed. And at this moment, she turned a blind eye to all this, just raised her head and tried to move her beautiful cherry lips, but as soon as the words came out, she was already a little trembling and silent.
"You're you, Luo...... Childe?"
"It's me," Luo Yunyao bowed slightly, "Mrs. Rong Ying." ”
Shuyun's lips were slightly raised, and a heart finally slowly fell, and then the whole person seemed to be covered by a strong tiredness, and he couldn't use or want to use any strength, so he could only close his eyes with peace of mind.
She succeeded!
She really escaped from that involuntary cage!
The more her consciousness became blurred, but Shuyun still faintly realized that she was now lying in the arms of a strange man she had never met, but there was no resistance or fear in her heart. Maybe it's because his bottomless eyes are as deep as the ocean, and they are really similar to that person!
Yes, the man in front of him in the fog is much like the Four Highnesses who broke the siege and made himself fall in the night a few years ago. In a blink of an eye, it seems that it is really just a blink of an eye, and so many years have passed......
Luo Yunyao looked at the picturesque beauty in front of him who was exhausted and sleeping in his arms, stunned for a moment, and finally laughed at himself. He then got up and carried him to the bathtub that had been prepared not far away, and used iron tongs to clamp a few pieces of hot carbon into the nearby brazier and throw them into the water.
"Aunt Xuan, come in. ”
After finishing speaking, I saw a tall apricot figure hidden behind the bookshelf pacing calmly. I saw that she had a thoughtful appearance and a generous posture, but there was some wisdom and sharpness in her eyebrows and eyes. It seems that he has already seen through the history of this world, and he can see through the deepest thoughts of people at a glance.
"This lady is really good-looking and handsome. ”
Luo Yunyao lowered his head and glanced at Shuyun, who had been placed on the bamboo couch by him, and nodded slowly, the short-lived warmth of Fang Cai had long since disappeared from his eyebrows.
"Aunt Xuan, the rest will trouble you. ”
Aunt Xuan respectfully blessed Luo Yunyao, "Okay, I'll leave it to me here, young master, go and rest." ”
"Hmm. ”
Luo Yunyao immediately turned his back and raised his hand to lower the cyan gauze curtain with silver threads on his side. His mind seemed to be a little confused, and it was better to get out of here as soon as possible.
But just as he was about to push the door and leave with one hand, Aunt Xuan suddenly whispered to him.
"Young Master, is this woman really Mrs. Rong Ying from the palace?"
"Why does my aunt ask that?"
Luo Yunyao's eyebrows were furrowed, and a bad premonition suddenly ignited in his heart, and he couldn't say how it tasted for a while. So he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, and no longer shy away from lifting the curtain in front of him.
Aunt Xuan seemed to be smiling, as if mocking his rare embarrassment at this moment.
But in just an instant, she regained her usual solemn expression, and then slowly raised Shuyun's smooth white and tender right arm to Luo Yunyao.
"On her wrist, she still has Shougong Sand!"
