Chapter 182: Heart Knot
Ji Huang was gone, and the charcoal fire in the brazier also dimmed, occasionally making a slight pop, but it quickly calmed down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hua Liyue sat alone in the gazebo, looking at the snow flying in the sky in a daze!
After half a ring, the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched, and she let out a sneer. She stood up, patted the snowflakes on her body, wrapped her sheepskin jacket tightly, and lazily walked out of the gazebo.
The dead grass was already covered with snow, and a few large trees with sparse branches and foliage shivered in the wind and snow, looking extremely depressed. After walking for a while, she suddenly heard a soft shout: "Yue'er!"
Hua Lianyue raised her head, and she was stunned!
What appeared in her field of vision was Liu Hui, who was supposed to rest in the room. I don't know how long he stood in the snow, his shoulders were already white, he frowned slightly, looked at her intently, and there was hidden worry and worry in his eyes.
Hua Lianyue stepped forward quickly, stretched out her hand to pat the cold snowflakes on his shoulders, and said angrily: "I just removed the poison from my body, it's not good to lie in the house, and what are you running around!"
Liu Hui looked at her deeply, seeing that her eyes were full of concern and did not seem to be fake, he quietly exhaled a long breath. Stretching out his slender fingers, he swept across her cold face. He muttered, "Yue'er, but what did Ji Huang tell you?"
Hua Lianyue's hand froze and quickly retracted it, and her eyes subconsciously began to dodge. She looked at the delicately stacked crane Izumo pattern on his neckline, and said with a sneer: "I said a few words, but they are all gossip that is not tight." The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so I'd better send you back to your room!"
A trace of pain flashed in his lowered eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The scene where he rushed over to block the sword for her without thinking about it had finally drawn the strongest color in her heart. It's not the long-lost Xiao Rong, or the ill-intentioned Ji Huang who can change it.
Liu Hui hung her head, but she could only see the top of her hair that was even darker after being hit by snow water. Her hands unconsciously clenched her neckline, as if this action would help her block all the wind and snow.
Liu Hui knew that Ji Xuan was coming, but he didn't rush to see his injured self, but went directly to see Hua Lianyue, and his heart immediately hung high. He endured the severe pain on his body and hurried over, only to see her walking alone in the wind and snow with a calm face. Instead of falling into place, his heart fell into nothingness, and the feeling of panic continued unabated.
He knows Ji Xuan too well, just as he knows himself. As long as Ji Huang thinks it is right, whether he accepts it or not, Ji Huang will stubbornly protect him in the way he thinks is right, even if he loses in the end.
As if sensing his caution, Hua Lianyue finally raised her face, showed a smile at him, and said, "Let's go!"
Liu Hui's deep dark eyes looked at her, and when he saw her smile again, his eyebrows tightened, and he finally sighed helplessly, and obediently let her help her back to the courtyard where he was temporarily sheltering.
At night, when Hua Lianyue and Liu Gu were dining together, she asked lightly, "Did you deliberately use Ji Huang's mouth to remind me?" If it weren't for Liu Gu's secret permission, in this heavily guarded general's mansion, Ji Huang wouldn't have had the opportunity to chat with him for so long.
Liu Gu didn't raise his eyelids, and quietly took a large piece of mutton and put it into her bowl, and said with interest: "What did Ji Huang say to you?"
Hua Lianyue rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Big brother, I don't know when you became so gossipy!"
Liu Gu smiled and said, "I'm not curious!" He leaned forward again, and said in a sly manner: "He is menacing today, and he clearly wants to talk to you alone." Based on his relationship with Liu Hui, I guess he will definitely tell you many secrets that Liu Hui does not know, so he will reluctantly agree. Hurry up and hear what he has to say to you!"
"Big brother, do you know that it's not a good thing to be too curious!" she subconsciously hid Xiao Rong's matter.
Liu Gu smiled, and then said stupidly: "It's really a big girl! Now I will start to hide something from my eldest brother." ”
Hua Lianyue unconsciously poked the soft mutton stewed in the bowl with the bamboo chopsticks in her hand, and only after half a ring, did she say, "Big brother, have you ever been in contact with Ji Huang before?"
Liu Gu shook his head and said, "I've met a few times, but it's all nodding friendship, and my understanding of this person is limited to rumors from the outside world." Then he said meaningfully: "But if you want to know, I can ask someone to inquire in secret." The bright candle flame shook his wheat-colored skin, and his white teeth shone brighter.
Hua Lianyue squinted, but finally shook her head and said softly: "Forget it, it's not interesting!" She stuffed the piece of mutton that had been poked beyond recognition into her mouth, and chewed hard with her teeth, while saying vaguely: "This person is as cunning as a fox, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, so it is better to have less contact with him." ”
Liu Gu smiled contemptuously and said arrogantly: "No matter how cunning he is like a fox, he can't escape from the palm of a good hunter." Don't worry, big brother knows it. ”
Outside, the snow was falling flickering, making a shuddering sound. Hua Lianyue sat in the room, holding an old book that was a little old, but she didn't turn a page for a long time.
After sending those female prisoners away, Liu Gu still found two military dependents who knew the bottom of the story to temporarily take care of Hua Lianyue's diet and daily life. Sister-in-law Li was holding a steaming tea, and when she saw that she seemed to be reading a book, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she put it on the desk in her hand.
Sister-in-law Zhu had already made the bed properly, and when she saw that Hua Lianyue had been reading with her eyes down, she used small copper scissors to cut off the excess wick to make the light brighter and brighter, and then said with a smile: "Miss, it's getting late, and it's freezing cold, let's go to bed early!"
Sister-in-law Li also interjected with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, reading under the candlelight at night is the most hurtful to the eyes." If Miss wants to see it, let's wait until daytime!"
Hua Lianyue's body shook slightly, and she raised her eyes like waking up from a dream. Looking at the hot tea at hand, and then at the soft and warm bed, she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you two sisters-in-law, it's freezing this day, and there must be someone in your family who needs to take care of it." You can go back first, I really don't need your help here. ”
After speaking, she pointed to a three-layer food box on the table and said, "Here are some southern dim sum, I haven't touched them, they are all clean." If you don't dislike it, take it back and give it to the children to taste!"
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Zhu glanced at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes. Sister-in-law Zhu said with a smiling face: "These are specially sent by His Royal Highness King Xian, if the young lady rewards us, King Xian's side ......."
Hua Lianyue said lightly, "Since it was sent to me, it was naturally arranged by me." At this moment, even if the virtuous king is in front of me, I will eat if I want to eat, and I will reward people if I want to reward them, and he will not be verbose. ”
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Zhu are not much older than Hua Lianyue, but they both got married early, and there are children in the family waiting to be waiting. Now that I can go back earlier, I can bring some southern dim sum that is known for its exquisite taste to the children at home, so I can't ask for it. They thanked Hua Lianyue, found kraft paper and packed those snacks one by one, and left satisfied.
Before leaving, Sister-in-law Li suddenly remembered something, and said to Hua Lianyue: "When I came in with hot water, the guards on King Xian's side came to ask if Miss was resting, if not, please go to King Xian's side to have a look." ”
Hua Lianyue bit her lower lip lightly and said, "But what's the important matter on King Xian's side?"
Sister-in-law Li thought about it, shook her head and said, "Then he didn't say it!"
Hua Liyue let out an "oh" and withdrew her gaze. She flipped the page casually and said casually: "Then when I ask Sister-in-law Li to go out, say to the guard, and say that I have rested." If there's anything going on, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Zhu each carried a few bulging cow paper bags and left happily. The room was warm and silent, and Hua Lianyue returned to her appearance of studying hard, but it was full of paper, and it was unknown how much she had seen it.
After getting Sister-in-law Li's reply, Feng Si reluctantly returned to the small courtyard, and saw his prince sitting upright at the round table, looking at the exquisite dishes full of color, fragrance and fragrance. He still had dishes and bamboo chopsticks at hand, but there was no sign of moving.
Although the house was crackling with charcoal fire, it still looked very deserted.
The moment he opened the curtain, the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes and swept in, blowing through the long collapse, the thick curtain hanging from the wooden table and bed, like a puff of light dust, and finally disappeared by the warm breath into a void mist. Except for a moment of cold, they were as if they had never been there.
Feng Si rarely saw his own prince look so lonely, and he only felt a slight sour nasal cavity. He coughed lightly, hugged Liu Hui, and said, "Miss Hua has rested, and it seems that she won't be able to come tonight." ”
He lightly touched the wall of the bowl with his fingers, and then frowned, "These are already cold, and they can't be eaten." Please wait a moment, and I'll have these meals served hot at once. ”
Liu Hui waved his hand and said, "Withdraw it, withdraw it! ”
"Lord Wang!" Feng Si raised his voice and said, "You still have injuries on your body now, how can you not take care of your body so much." If the lady in the palace knows, I'm afraid she will be sad. ”
Liu Hui pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and said weakly: "Feng Si, Hugh wants to bluff the king with his mother." One meal or two meals without appetite, nothing to worry about. What's more, there is a more powerful poison and a more serious injury than this, and this king has experienced it before, and he has not survived as well, and he has not had any life-threatening events. ”
"Lord Wang!" Feng Si raised his voice unwillingly.
"Let's go down! This king just wants to stay alone!" Liu Hui only felt a little messy in his mind at the moment. I don't know what Ji Huang said to Hua Lianyue, so that she finally regained some warmth and became indifferent again. This unpredictable feeling made him very upset, and naturally he lost the patience to entangle with Feng Si.
Feng Si couldn't resist it, but still obediently retreated.
Liu Hui stood up, went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, sipping slowly.
The tea had already cooled, and the original warm and mellow had turned into cold and bitter, but he still drank it one after another. The herbal tea glides down the throat, bringing a slight stinging sensation and a refreshing sensation. Exhaling a cool breath, the burning boredom in his heart dissipated slightly, and his thoughts were clearer than before.
After drinking three cups of herbal tea in a row, the fire in his heart was suppressed. Returning to the soft bed and lying down, touching the soft and warm leather mattress under him, he finally smiled faintly after pursing his lips for a day.
Although she is cold on her face, the dark light is reflected in the subtleties. The mattress under his body and the brazier under his feet are the best proof.
It's just that......
What are Ji Xuan's plans?
Obviously, he almost died with a sword for Yue'er, which had already pierced his nerves. Although Ji Huang had promised that he would not attack Yue'er before, with his tricky temperament, it would be easy to force her away again by saying a few nonsense words in front of Yue'er.
The most terrible thing is that Liu Hui is very clear in his heart, but he is helpless! Because Ji Huang is not his enemy, but a close friend who can give up his life for him.
If you want to completely dispel his inexplicable hostility towards Yue'er, it is definitely a hard war. Liu Hui is really depressed, this open and secret battle is unprecedentedly difficult.
Liu Hui suddenly felt depressed, only to feel that this room was also depressing and uncomfortable. He simply rolled over, lifted the thick cotton curtain and walked out. The smell of ice and snow on his face shocked him, and he unconsciously recalled the snowy night he experienced in Meiling Fahua Temple three years ago.
He walked in front of him, and she mischievously stepped into the snow pit she had left behind, and followed him step by step. At that time, there was no estrangement between the two, only wholehearted trust. No matter how dangerous the situation is, you can calmly deal with it side by side.
And now, although the feelings between the two are still the same, there are more suspicions, concealment, temptation and distrust.
Liu Hui has been thinking tonight, if it weren't for the concealment and self-righteous deliberate estrangement three years ago, would Ji Huang still be able to easily make waves between Yue'er and himself? The answer is definitely no, but unfortunately there is everything in this world, that is, there is no if......
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"
Liu Hui came back to his senses, only to find that Feng Si was looking at him in surprise. He cautiously asked, "Why did the prince come out, but what else do you have to order?"
Liu Hui suddenly smiled and said to Feng Si: "Go find a little sunflower crested parrot, this king will want it tomorrow." ”
"Lord Wang!" Feng Si twitched the corners of his eyes, with a bitter face, and said helplessly: "It's freezing this day, except for the jackdaws, the rest of the birds have flown south, where can I catch birds for you!" He said with anticipation: "If you feel bored, I'll go to the mountains tonight to find a wolf cub for you to play?"
"Get out...... Liu Hui said arrogantly: "In this ancient town of Erna, there are always some masters of big families who raise these gadgets to play. I don't care if you're buying, grabbing, stealing, or even robbing. Anyway, I must see the little sunflower cockatoo tomorrow!"
The appeal was invalid, Feng Si could only pinch his nose and reply: "Yes!"
