Chapter 133: Courage
As if there was a very thin and long needle piercing my heart, I suddenly raised my head and pushed away King Xiao's hand, and without looking at him, I reached out and put my clothes together. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
King Xiao put aside the Seven Cents Powder ointment, stretched out his hand to hold me, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Today is the king is late, and you are tired and injured." It is also to blame that the king was not thoughtful, and he didn't expect Qinggeltai to be so resistant to the conclusion of the covenant at the beginning, so he let him and Yao Huatang talk alone. Who knew that he might as well let him repel Hua Tang and run out of the big study by himself. β
He reached over and took my hand: "Frightened, didn't you?"
I lowered my head, but when I heard him say this, I subconsciously wanted to pretend to be strong and shook my head.
However, a scar on the palm of his hand came into viewβthe scar that had fallen from the sword with his bare hand in the plum grove near the Jokhang Temple to save me from the crown prince.
His heart suddenly became sour, his eyes were hot, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, I was very scared at that time." But you're not there. β
"It's the king who is late. β
King Xiao sighed in a very low voice.
I leaned into his arms and whispered, "But I'm a courageous one. β
He didn't hear it for a moment, but he didn't ask again.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before the Shangyuan Festival.
Yinghong came into the small study as usual and asked about the lunch arrangement, to see if I had any other dishes I wanted to add.
I remembered that she had behaved unusually in the past few days, so I raised my eyes to look at her, and did not say a word for a long time.
She was a little nervous.
After a while, he smiled and suggested, "If Zhao Xun has no other instructions today, would it be good for the maid to let the small kitchen prepare the dishes according to the menu drawn up at the beginning of the month?"
Putting down the scroll in my hand, I suddenly asked, "Have you been here with me for a few days?"
Yinghong's body trembled when she heard this: "Zhaoxun, do you want to drive me away?"
I laughed, "That's a strange thing, why should I drive you away?"
Yinghong knelt down and said: "The maid is indeed through Mrs. Sumire, ah, no, it is the Ye family that can be promoted from the second class to the first class." The servant's father said that Zhaoxun was a kind person, and he was highly valued by the prince, so it was good to be able to follow Zhaoxun. But at that time, the maid was not in Duofuxuan, and the Ye family transferred the outsiders from the ladies to death. As a last resort, the servant and his father went to ask for the Ye family. But he didn't collude with the Ye family, Zhao Xun Mingjian!"
"Yes. Ye is really good at talking, you went to ask for it, and she accepted it?"
Yinghong was startled, looked up suddenly, and bumped into my unwavering smile. Then he lowered his head and muttered: "She, she said, the maid sent the ......"
She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and raised her head to look at me: "Zhaoxun is a delicate person, and the property sent by the maid is naturally not valued by the Ye family, and it is just for the Jiao Ying in front of her to help say good things and beat the side drum." Ye was finally willing to send the maid to Duofuxuan because the maid promised to deliver the news for her. β
"Heh, go on. β
Yinghong took a deep breath and continued: "But Zhaoxun also knows that since the maid came to Duofuxuan, he has never done anything to be sorry for Zhaoxun! β
She saw a meaningful smile on the corner of my lips, and hurriedly said: "The servant doesn't mean how good the servant's character is, it's just that the servant and his family know a truth -- the one who knows the times is a handsome! Since Zhaoxun entered the mansion, the prince has made you the first person in the mansion, and Mrs. Sumire at that time really has no chance of winning compared to you. Therefore, the servant does not dig his own grave. It is true that he has not done what he promised Ye at that time, which is not good for Zhao Xun. Please also show the wisdom of the teachings. β
"In that case, where does your anxiety come from?"
"Slave, slave is not upset. β
I couldn't help laughing: "Since you say that I am a delicate person, then think about it, whether you are uneasy or not, I can't tell the difference!
Speaking of which, it was already very loud.
Tears rolled down her eyes: "The servant doesn't have two ends." β
For example, after I left with Zhan Lu that day, you accompanied the people from the retreat hall to bring a doctor to treat Mrs. Sumire, so there is nothing you need to tell me after that?"
"The servant ......", Ying Honghu kowtowed: "Yes, the servant does hide something from you." The maid reluctantly agreed to do things for her and got what she wanted. But he didn't fulfill his promise, after all, he was ashamed of her. Thinking that the deceased is great, he didn't report to you the words in front of Ye at the end. β
I shook my head slightly: "You have a good heart, but you used it in the wrong place. Since we have made a choice based on the situation, it is natural for us to recognize me as the master and do things for the master to defend the master. If you identify someone, you won't be so uncomfortable tearing on both sides. β
I glanced at her and continued to ask, "What, is Ye's words very ugly?"
Yinghong gritted her teeth and said: "Ye said: 'Shengyao, I want your most beloved person to live forever in the anxiety of worrying about losing you, and I want her to be in fear all day. If you can't communicate with her, you can't get her sincere heart. ββ
"The servant is learning to speak as it is, don't blame Zhaoxun!" she looked at me with some trepidation. Suddenly remembered something and added: "By the way, Mrs. Sumire left two letters for the prince. However, the servant didn't see the content. The prince's face was not good at that time, and it was very uncomfortable to see Ye's appearance. β
I pondered what Ye said to King Xiao, as if I heard her triumphant but sad laughter that day. He shook his head and reached out to touch the stove.
The hand stove was burning very hot, and it was very warm, dispelling the chill brought by the laughter.
"Anything else?"
Yinghong was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "That's it." However, later the prince instructed the maid's father to arrange for someone to send a letter she left to Ye's family. I heard that Ye's family was originally very dissatisfied with the fact that Ye's family gave his life in the palace, and they also had a lot of grievances against the prince, but after reading Ye's suicide note, they had a better attitude towards the people who were sent. β
I pondered for a while, and Fang Yinghong said, "You go down, you can watch the food for lunch." I can trust you. β
Yinghong raised her head in disbelief, and when she reacted, she kowtowed to me happily and said, "Xie Zhaoxun Mingjian." The servant must be a good person. β
I tapped lightly on the lid of the stove and said with a smile: "However, there will be no more concealment in the future!"
Yinghong saluted with a sigh of relief and withdrew with a hint of joy.
Chifu came in from outside, glanced at Yinghong's back, and asked, "Zhaoxun is really relieved?"
I picked up the scroll, looked down and looked at it where I had just left off.
said: "As she said, since I entered Duofuxuan, I have indeed not done anything really unfavorable to me." And this time the concealment is because of the guilt of Mrs. Sumire. But Chifu, she will feel guilty because of the purity in her heart. This was a precious part of her, and I could not bear to let her out, and because of this, I changed my character. Just knock it out. β
Chifu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Yes." The worst thing depends on her father's face. As long as the prince has been so good to you, no one will act rashly against you. β
My eyes were fixed on one place: it had been so good. How long has it been?
