Chapter 225: When no one whispers in the middle of the night
No one answered outside the tent.
However, after a while, the body was cold, and someone lifted the brocade quilt and lay in. Without saying a word, he skillfully took me into his arms.
I curled the corners of my mouth, and the person came to his senses. But he closed his eyes and put his body into his arms, and whispered, "It's late, why is this coming?"
He leaned over and looked at the wound on my face, waved his hand and lowered the curtain, and said, "Come and see you." Otherwise, don't worry. β
I couldn't help but ask, "From Ruan Liangdi?"
Sheng Yao was bored for a while, and then replied, "Yes." Shuoren cried and cried, and said that she was an old man who was by my side when she was in the palace, and today she called Wu Shanghua a later bully. β
I was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If it's in the people, it's okay, it's better to get started first." But even if the crown princess enters the palace late, she is still the crown princess and the concubine of the East Palace. There's nothing to talk about here!"
He pressed his chin against the top of my head, and his voice was low: "Xiaoguan, did I make you all wronged?"
I was silent.
He couldn't wait for my answer, so he looked up at the look on my face again, as if he wanted an answer. I was helpless, so I asked, "I was wronged, what is Your Highness going to do?"
He was silent for a long time and said: "In all dynasties, the families of the East Palace and the Harem have all come over like this. For a moment, I didn't know what to do. Let me think about this for a long time. β
I rolled over and buried my head in his arms, and my voice contained a thick tiredness: "I'm very tired." β
He reassured gently: "Sleep, I'm here." β
I rubbed my head against his chest twice, "Okay." He closed his eyes with peace of mind.
However, listening to the powerful heartbeat in his chest, he was obviously very sleepy, but he was so caught by his words that he didn't feel sleepy. I used to read poetry, but I didn't like poetry the most. But there is an exception - the penitent husband is looking for a marquis. I thought it was just a hypocritical rhetoric of marrying a noble son-in-law and a pampered woman, and implying a little affectionate and full of water in it, so I liked it.
Only now can I realize the deep coolness of helplessness and powerlessness in this poem.
Su Bai's fingers unconsciously swiped around his heart - here, how many sweethearts are pretended? How many beautiful women with different backgrounds will accompany him in his future imperial career?
The fingers that were about to curl up were suddenly grasped by a strong hand. His gentle voice came from the top of his head: "Can't sleep? β
I nestled quietly in his arms. After a while, he whispered, "Your Highness, I want to listen to "Ni Dress". β
He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Is this going to make a fuss and play the pipa? I shouldn't be able to sleep for a while." He raised his hand and rubbed my hair, and whispered, "Shall I hum it to you?"
I nodded silently.
He reached out and patted me on the back, humming slowly in a deep voice. I suddenly felt that there had never been a moment when the tone of "Neon Dress" was so good. I fell asleep unconsciously.

When he woke up on the second day, Sheng Yao had already gotten up and gone to the palace of Emperor Wei to discuss matters, thinking that the war was tight again.
I sat in front of the dressing table, and the wound reflected in the bronze mirror had formed a shallow scab. The pain was tingling and itchy, and I couldn't help but reach out my fingers to touch it. Thinking of Imperial Physician Bai's words, Sheng Sheng held back. After applying the ointment, and seeing that the discomfort had eased somewhat, he took the veil and put it on.
Mother Tong saw that I was depressed, so she explained: "The old slave quietly went to see it, and the princess is gritting her teeth and cursing at this time, and she is still obediently copying "The Female Rule" in Yuhua Pavilion. β
Kou'er, who was standing on the side, said in an uneven tone: "So what, in the end, it is the Huiyin Hall that suffers." Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's trust in Liangyuan and his dedication to protecting him, but even so, isn't it still our Liangyuan who is injured. Even Ruan Liangdi experienced danger yesterday, if the crown princess really succeeded, and their family's crime was confirmed, it would be useless to kowtow her head. If it comes to feelings, Ruan Liangdi has been by His Royal Highness's side for many years. The crown princess just relied on the support of a good family. β
I saw that the more she spoke, the more she didn't look like it, so I glanced at her, and Kou'er stopped talking.
In the afternoon, I sat in a chair in the sun in front of the window, watching Yinghong play a few knots. Kou Er suddenly ran in happily and said with a smile: "Liangyuan, take a look, who's coming!"
"Liangyuan is well! This handmaid was sent by His Royal Highness to Yude Hall to work hard, and you don't let people go to see the handmaid, and ask the handmaid back. Zhan Lu walked into the hall with a hibiscus face and a smile on her cheeks. Behind him was Mo Di and a black-armored guard with his head bowed.
I was also full of joy when I saw her, stood up and smiled: "I know that Your Highness can't do without you." It's not easy to find a capable person who knows the root and knows the bottom of the matter, and I heard that he has been promoted to Shanggong. But you don't say that you often come back to see me, but you still arrange me. β
Zhan Lu quipped: "The person Your Highness can't do without is not a servant, it's you! Don't talk about it, just talk about it, but His Highness Ba'er ordered me to bring Master Mo to Huiyin Palace." As he spoke, he pointed at Mo Di behind him, and said with a smile: "Lord Mo led His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come here, and discuss something with Liangyuan, please Liangyuan retreat." β
I smiled and bowed my head.
Mo Di said: "There is Lao Song Shanggong." β
I was slightly stunned, Zhan Lu had always regarded herself as the surviving person of her fiancΓ© Song Linjiang, but now she was called her husband's surname. looked at her dignified figure standing aside, and felt a little pity for her.
Seeing that Cuinong had already withdrawn from the hall to guard, Mo Di turned sideways, pushed the black-armored guard behind him a few steps forward, and said with a blank face: "This, Liangyuan will see you." β
The black-armored guard, who had been keeping his head down, looked up at me with a smile.
Brother!
I was pleasantly surprised. Just about to call out, he caught a glimpse of Mo Di's eyes indicating that Zhan Lu was also there, and finally covered his lips with a handkerchief, so he couldn't bear to make a sound. But the eye sockets were already involuntarily red.
With a warm smile, the elder brother said, "I am ordered to tell Liangyuan about the recent Gu family." The Turkic cavalry of the five princes was fierce and good at killing, and more than a month ago, they went down to Xinye, Fangling and Shangyong, and approached Kyoto. Somehow, he did not move, and so far he has not advanced forward and captured the new city. His Royal Highness consulted with the ministers and planned to send an envoy to find out the meaning of the five princes. If he can be persuaded to defect against the Gosher rebels, it will be extremely advantageous to counter the rebellion. β
Mo Dijing sat down on a chair on the side, and said nonchalantly: "The general of the chariot cavalry, Gu Mingjue, took this errand. β
I was immediately anxious: the two armies were still facing each other, and half of the envoys sent at this time might be beheaded in front of the barracks.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop it, his brother said indifferently: "The general of the chariot cavalry eats the king, and he should be loyal to the monarch and share worries for the country." It was his father and his people who worried about him. I heard that I had been on my way back to Beijing from the place of exile, and a few days ago I wrote that I had already arrived in the Jiangzhou area. β
