Chapter 180: Warmth
In the second half of the night, the temperature dropped more and more. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The neat footsteps of the info sentry pass outside the courtyard, and in the distance, you can occasionally hear a dog barking or two. Hua Lianyue walked out of Liu Hui's room, and couldn't help but sneeze a little when she was swept away by the cold wind, and Feng Si immediately appeared from the shadows under the eaves of the corridor.
Unexpectedly, Feng Si was still waiting here, and I didn't know how many private words I overheard them, Hua Lianyue coughed lightly, and her ears were slightly hot.
Feng Si strode up to her, bowed, and said respectfully, "Thank you Miss Hua for saving my lord." Speaking of this, there was a hint of fear on his face: "If the prince really has any accident because of that poisonous woman, I can only apologize for my guilt with death in front of the emperor!"
After a pause, he said again: "Miss Hua has been tired for most of the day and has lost blood, so let's go back and rest early! ”
Hua Lianyue bit her lip and said in a low voice: "It's okay, your prince has already fallen asleep, and it doesn't matter if you want to come here for a while." After she took a few steps, she suddenly turned back to Feng Si, who was watching her leave, and said, "I have something to tell you!"
Feng Si said respectfully: "Miss Hua, please speak." ”
Hua Lianyue thought for a while and said, "If your prince asks how the poison on his body is solved, you can tell him that there happens to be a military doctor in the house who is good at detoxification, so he can be saved." ”
"This ......" Feng Si said hesitantly: "Miss Hua's hard work, wouldn't my prince not be able to understand it." ”
Hua Lianyue had a calm face and said in a low voice: "This is my biggest secret, of course, I hope that the fewer people who know, the better." If it spreads, I'll have a lot of trouble. ”
Feng Si's face turned solemn, his hands clenched into fists, and he said very sincerely: "I know, even if the prince asks about it in the future, he will keep his mouth shut, and he will definitely not publicize Miss Hua's secret." ”
"That's good!"
Seeing the thin back of Hua Lianyue gradually disappearing in the dark, Feng Si shook his head in confusion, opened the door curtain and entered the room.
Hua Lianyue returned to her room, but saw that the female prisoners who used to serve were all gone, and Liu Gu was sitting alone under the bright candlestick and reading an old book. He looked up and saw Hua Liyue come in, a smile on his slightly tired face.
"Big brother?" Hua Lianyue said in surprise: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Liu Gu closed the book and said lightly: "It's so late, you haven't rested either." Just came out of Liu Hui's side?"
"Knowingly asked!" Hua Liyue's face was hot, and she walked to the warm brazier in a few steps, and put her frozen hand on it to absorb the warmth.
The sleeves faded slightly, revealing her slender and delicate wrists, as well as the eye-catching gauze on her wrists. Liu Gu's gaze turned around on the gauze, and his brows furrowed slightly. He stared at Hua Lianyue, who hung his head slightly and looked peaceful, and his brows frowned even tighter.
Hua Lianyue finally asked the doubts in her heart: "Sister Ruolan...... It's the female prisoner who committed suicide, how could her face be ruined like that?" she didn't look up, and naturally she didn't notice the displeasure in Liu Gu's expression.
Liu Gu closed the military book, got up and poured a cup of warm tea and put it in Hua Lianyue's hand, before he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, I heard that there was a fire two years ago that killed many people in the prison cell, and she was the only survivor. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed slightly and said apologetically: "When I went to the prison to pick people, the steward there said that she was gentle and timid, and she would be bullied to death sooner or later if she stayed in the prison. I thought that nothing would go wrong with such a person, so I brought her back to serve you.
It's a pity that I don't know my face but I don't know my heart, I didn't expect her to not only know you and you, but also have such a deep grudge, which almost caused a catastrophe. Speaking of which, I am still terrified, so I will send all the other female prisoners back, so as not to cause trouble again. ”
After a pause, he said again: "Speaking of which, this time it is really thanks to Liu Hui, the virtuous king, who took this disaster for you." If my father found out about this, he would definitely scold me to death!"
"But I've never regarded her as an enemy!" mentioning Li Ruolan, Hua Lianyue was still very uncomfortable in her heart. It's a pity that the beauty has passed away, and Hua Liyue can't know what happened to her, let alone why she hates herself so much.
She sighed slightly and said, "What will you do with her corpse?"
Seeing that she mentioned that Li Ruolan only had regret and no hatred, Liu Gu coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what to do with the corpses of other prisoners, but what do you want to do with Li Ruolan's corpse, I can help you decide." ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Hua Lianyue slowly paced to the window, looked at the cold moon in the sky, and said after half a sound: "Send her ashes back to Meiling County for burial!"
Before she died, she once said that she ruined her love, presumably her good memories of love must have happened in Meiling County, and letting her go back is the best choice.
"Okay!" Liu Gu nodded and said, "It just so happens that Ding Darttou is going back tomorrow, and this matter can be left to him." ”
After chatting a few more words, Liu Gu didn't want to affect Hua Lianyue's rest, and quickly said goodbye and left. Hua Lianyue was also very tired, her head was next to the pillow, and she immediately fell into a deep sleep. This sleep, in a blink of an eye, it is the third pole of the sun.
After washing, Liu Gu accompanied her again and couldn't tell whether it was breakfast or lunch, in short, it was a very rich meat feast. Liu Gu saw that she put down the bamboo chopstick, and added a bowl of black chicken and red date soup with his own hands, put it in front of her, and said, "This is to nourish qi and replenish blood, drink a few more bowls while it's hot." ”
Hua Lianyue grabbed Liu Gu's sleeve and begged for mercy with a bitter face: "Big brother, if you eat it again, your belly will be broken." ”
Liu Gu rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll let people hang this pot of soup on the brazier to warm it, and when you don't hold it up, drink it all." ”
"Big brother, you know I don't like these. Hua Lianyue said coquettishly.
"There's no need to discuss!" Liu Gu said without refusal: "If you don't drink, I will pass on the news of what happened in the past two days to my father, and he will probably rush over immediately when he gets the news......."
"Big brother!" Before Liu Gu finished speaking, Hua Lianyue had already loosened his sleeves, and sat down with a serious face: "This is what you personally ordered the kitchen to prepare for me, I can't repay this piece of little sister, I will definitely drink them all up, and there will be no drop left." ”
"That's good!" Liu Gu smiled and rubbed her head, stood up and said, "You have a good rest, I still have official business, so I won't accompany you." ”
Hua Lianyue also stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, you just have to be busy with you, don't worry about me!"
After sending Liu Gu away, Wei Ping neatly removed the remnant seat, and before leaving, he didn't forget to hang the sauce-brown soup can on top of the brazier with an iron hook, and the room was suddenly filled with the sweet fragrance of red dates.
Hua Liyue held her round belly, half-leaned on the warm couch under the window, and took a book next to the pillow and flipped through it.
The book was dropped by Liu Gu, and Hua Lianyue took a closer look and realized that it was a "Sun Wubing Book". Hua Lianyue couldn't help pursing her lips, remembering that the eldest brother used to like to read all kinds of martial arts cheats!
Well, he is now a general, so naturally he can't just be obsessed with cultivating his own martial arts like before. Hua Lianyue was bored and flipped through the military book in her hand, wanting to use it to pass the time, but after reading it, she felt a little tasteful, and she slowly fell into her mind.
"Why are you so fascinated by it?"
Liu Hui's voice sounded in her ears without warning, making her tremble in fright, and the book in her hand was almost thrown out. She jerked her head up, and saw him leaning against the door with a pale face, dressed in a thick fox fur, looking at her with a smile.
Hua Lianyue was startled, and subconsciously said, "Your injury is not healed yet, why did you come out?"
Liu Hui blinked and said, "I was forced by Feng Si to drink a big bowl of medicine early in the morning, and now I have a bad appetite, so I brought the food box to you." He moved his right hand, and Hua Lianyue realized that there was a three-story vermilion lacquer depiction food box at his feet.
The corners of Hua Lianyue's eyes twitched, and she said, "You don't have a good appetite, so you come here to have fun, am I your appetizer?"
Liu Hui didn't speak, staring at her with deep black eyes. Hua Lianyue was stunned, and suddenly realized the ambiguity in her words. Her ears were hot, and she coughed lightly to hide her sex, and said, "Don't stand at the door, it's cold, come in and talk!"
Liu Hui smiled again, her white teeth dazzling her eyes. He made a gesture to lift the food box, and the fox fur draped over his shoulders slipped to the side, revealing his shoulders wrapped in thick gauze.
Hua Lianyue suddenly remembered in her conscience that the person in front of her was injured to save herself, and the wound was on the back of her shoulder. If you use force, the wound that has finally stopped the bleeding will not burst again. She hurriedly shouted, "Slow, stand there and don't move!"
Liu Hui was pretending, and when he heard her shouting, he immediately withdrew his hand and straightened his waist, looking at her innocently. A pair of deep but shining black eyes looked at her with a smile on their faces.
Hua Lianyue coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "You are a dignified prince, delicate and expensive, if something goes wrong, then Feng Si will die or live again." I'll do all the rough work!" she pretended not to hear Feng Si's dissatisfied cold snort outside the house, threw aside the military book in her hand, climbed down from the warm couch neatly, and lifted the food box with one hand and supported Liu Hui with the other.
Liu Hui suffered a shoulder injury, and although he had some difficulty lifting heavy objects, his walking was not affected at all. However, he didn't mind showing weakness in front of the woman he loved. He even exaggeratedly leaned half of his body on Hua Lianyue's shoulder, humming and chirping, making a weak appearance.
Hua Lianyue carried the heavy food box while struggling to support his body, and finally moved to the table and sat down. In these few short steps, she was forced to sweat.
After Liu Hui sat down, he didn't forget to cover his shoulders, frowning lightly and moaning a few times. Hua Lianyue really thought that she had touched his wound, and asked worriedly: "It's so uncomfortable, but the wound is cracked?" Why don't I go to Dr. Xu to take a look!"
Liu Hui shook his head and said with a bitter face: "The wound has not cracked, it just hurts more and more." ”
"The wound hurts, and you're still walking around all over the house!I'll see if there's any bleeding!" Hua Lianyue snorted while untying the big slug on his body and carefully checking whether there were blood stains on the gauze.
Liu Hui looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Walking around will hurt the wound, and if you can't see it, you will feel distressed." Since they both hurt, I must choose one of the two, and I still prefer the wound to hurt. ”
The corners of Hua Liyue's eyes twitched, and she had an urge to touch her forehead. She withdrew her hand, resisted the urge to poke a finger at his wound, and said lightly: "I haven't seen him for a few years, and the prince is more and more able to laugh!"
Why did you change back to the prince again? This title that obviously cleared the relationship made Liu Hui squint his eyes unhappily. Forget it, Feng Si's words are really unbelievable, the bitter meat plan or something is still not suitable for the image of this king.
Liu Hui coughed lightly, pointed to the food box and said to Hua Lianyue: "There are some Jiangnan side dishes in here, you can open it and see if you like it!"
Hua Lianyue sighed, opened the food box one by one, and brought out pearl fish balls, spiced rabbit breast, tofu soup, steamed rice noodles and meat from inside....... In the last layer are a dozen hot sesame pancakes with sauce and meat.
Hua Lianyue's hand paused, and she squinted at Liu Hui, what an old fox! He didn't forget to play some tricks with a few dishes. I remember that when I was in Meiling County before, she liked to prepare these small dishes for him the most, and he was not good at seeing the bitter meat and preparing to take the nostalgic route!
Liu Hui didn't speak, just looked at her fixedly, his dark eyes were extremely focused. Hua Lianyue laughed dryly a few times and said, "You are a patient, and you have so much blood, how can you only eat these." ”
Liu Hui's eyes darkened, obviously a little disappointed by her reaction.
Hua Lianyue didn't pay attention to his expression, her eyes turned around, and she happened to see the eye-catching soup can, and hurriedly said: "I have a pot of black chicken and red date soup here, which is the most beneficial for qi and blood." You wait, I'll bring it to you. ”
Liu Hui's originally dimmed eyes immediately rejuvenated, he hooked his lips and smiled, and said gently: "Then thank you!"
His tone was so gentle, like a beehive falling into a sugar jar that was so sweet. Hua Lianyue trembled all over, forcibly suppressed the hair standing up all over her body, and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be!"
Liu Hui thought that this bowl of soup was specially prepared for him by Hua Lianyue, and he drank it very sweetly, and a large pot almost went into his stomach. The moment he occasionally raised his eyes, the warmth of the veins between his eyebrows and eyes was sweeter than that bowl of hot soup.
Hua Lianyue was secretly happy that she could finally pass the test safely in front of her eldest brother, and she didn't have to worry about him inviting her father to catch her back, and she was also very satisfied. So she obediently accompanied Liu Hui, tore half a piece of sauce meat and sesame baked cakes and ate them slowly.
The atmosphere of the meal was once very peaceful, calm, and even a little warm.
As a result, Hua Liyue finally became sleepy because she had eaten too much. She moved to the warm couch with difficulty, and fell asleep next to the soft pillow. In a daze, she felt someone gently pull up her sleeve, and a few warm fingers brushed over the gauze wrapped around her wrist.
There was a soft sigh in his ears, as if he had said something, and as if he had said nothing. I felt his warm thin lips touch her forehead like a dragonfly, tickling and numb, like being gently fanned on the tip of her heart by butterfly wings. In the next moment, she fell into a dark sweet dream.
