171. Strange Walk

Back home?

The curtain is my usual red color, but the furnishings in the room are different, even though the tables and chairs are all available, there is no sense of familiarity.

The sun is getting bigger, and it's hard to see the damp and cold haze of last night, and the room is full of sunshine. Outside, there are birds chirping, and there is a strong aroma of grass and trees, and you can even hear the tinkling of water.

Sitting at the head of the bed and looking around, it didn't seem to be the famous garden, let alone the small courtyard.

With a soft squeak, a laughing female voice flashed into the door with a light yellow figure, "Fu Jin is awake......? Or if you're hungry, you'll have some porridge first?" she said, placing the tray in her hand on the low table beside the bed.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the familiar face in front of me, it turned out to be really her.

Seeing that I was just looking at her in a daze, the corners of Ruyi's lips were pursed, tears were already in her eyes, she lowered her head and lowered her body, her voice was a little hoarse, but she still smiled hard and said softly: "The slave maid asks for peace to Fujin, Fujin is auspicious." ”

"Hurry up. I reached out to drag her arm, but I saw a purple bruise almost three fingers wide on my wrist under the white sleeve.

Ruyi stood up and carefully held my hand, raised his eyes and whispered to me: "If Fujin is not hungry, the slave maid should wait for you to bathe first, the fourth master has left medicine and told the slave maid to use it for you, the fourth master also said that Fujin was drenched in some rain two days ago, I am afraid that I am infected with typhoid fever, and someone has already decocted the decoction, and the slave maid will bring it to you." ”

Two days ago...... Wasn't it yesterday?

Yinzhen ...... Absence?

I sniffed the light medicinal fragrance on my wrist and subconsciously looked out the window, there was no figure in half, only the dazzling sunlight.

Took me to this strange place, and he left. What about my son, didn't he bring me to him, and now he just gave me a wishful thinking!

Ruyi?

Did he have seen what I had given Nian, so he did this on purpose? I actually realized now, it turned out that he had already given me a wish, and I could not accept it, refuse it, or give it away.

I felt like a fool, I was tricked by him and thrown in this room, and I couldn't help it.

Fortunately, although there were red marks on his shoulders and necks that he had bitten, there was no uncomfortable feeling on his body. It seems that he did not take advantage of the danger, even if he had the right, or he had lost interest in me, the woman who refused. That's right, anyway, there are so many women in the house who are waiting for him to be favored, and as a prince, he can't lack women, let alone me, a woman who is old and unwilling.

Ruyi treated me as well or respectfully as before, that is, he didn't say anything, only let me eat, drink medicine or sleep, and didn't even let me step out of the door.

I sit by the window every day and look outside, it seems that this place is very big, I can't see the door, there are many rooms, and there are landscape pavilions, the scenery is very good. But I can only sit on a well and watch the sky β–‘β–‘, and the field of vision is that small window.

In the afternoon, the sun is blazing. I leaned on the windowsill and fell asleep, and vaguely heard a male voice outside that did not belong to Ruyi, clear but milky, and the kind of natural superiority and arrogance that belonged to the prince that I was familiar with.

With no figure in sight, I pressed my ears to the window, my heart beating faster and faster, and my nails almost digging into the window. I vaguely heard the little boy repeating a sentence constantly, and gradually became a little impatient, "E-Niang auspicious, say, E-Niang auspicious, say ...... quickly"

Is it him? I haven't been able to eat or sleep well for more than a month, and I've been locked up here, and I haven't waited in vain.

Eniang...... I have dreamed of that soft call for four years, and it is so like this, I can't hear it.

Yinzhen didn't lie to me, and really brought his son to see me!

I was still listening carefully by the window, but I couldn't hear the little boy's voice, but there was a strange and strange scream like Li Dequan or Gao Wuyong's shrill voice, extremely fast, "Huang Ma Fa auspicious." ”

"Stupid bird, it's wrong, it's Eniang's auspiciousness. ”

Listening to the little boy's anxious shouts, I couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was a stupid parrot, and being tamed by this child made him anxious.

It's not that there is no image anymore, my mind suddenly recalls his little face in swaddling clothes, and in a blink of an eye, it has become a childhood version of Yinzhen, just in front of the parrot's impatient appearance of barking and angry. I think it wouldn't be the case if Honghui or Hongwan were replaced, but it was possible.

"Fifth brother, take your time, don't worry, Huang Ma Fa auspicious will also teach for a few days. ”

"Stupid, stupid bird, boring. Hongday, let's go back. ”

Hongday...... Who is the fifth brother?

When I finally figured out that it was Hongli, I lost my strength in my hands, and I left the window in disappointment, only to see people standing in the yard.

Yin Zhen wore a black robe and stood in the sun and looked at me from a distance through the window, still like what I felt on that rainy night, tall. He twisted a string of beads in his right hand and hung it down to his lap, and stood for a moment before he raised his foot in the direction of the door.

I heard Ruyi open the curtain to welcome him in, and I asked Guo An to quietly exit, and then I crouched down by the door of the inner room. The black robe and boots appeared in front of him, and he said softly: "Greetings to the prince, the prince is auspicious." ”

Yin Zhen stood in front of me for a moment, and then replied with two words in a deep voice, "Get up." After saying that, he walked to the table, lifted his robe, and sat down in the chair, his fingertips tapped on the table and made two soft sounds.

I got up and walked over and poured a cup of tea and put it in his hand, and I was dazzled by the beads that slowly rotated under the thumb of my right hand. The brief conversation between the two boys just now kept ringing in my ears, reminding me that it was indeed his son who he had brought with him, but it was not mine.

Where did he hide my son? That night, I didn't even think about it, so I followed him in a daze, and I forgot to inquire about the news that came back, only Hongli and Hongday did not have a third four-year-old little brother in his house, and I still believed him like a fool.

The body shook slightly, and when my hand reached the edge of the table, he dragged my forearm, and I hurriedly took a wrong step back, looking at his hand and calling softly, "Lord Wang." ”

He hesitated for a moment, silently withdrew his hand, and coughed lightly without looking at me, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that there was no discoloration on his face, he knelt beside his lap and opened his mouth carefully, "Please let the princess go back, the girl has no luxury, no one wants to see her, she just wants to go home." It's been more than a month, and if I don't go back, I'm just afraid of ......"

A chuckle came from above my head, and my right hand holding the handball reached out in front of me and pinched my chin, and with the strength I looked up, I saw his face bent over slightly, and his thin lips moved slightly, and there was still a slight smile in his voice, "Don't you want to see your son, and now you don't want to see me?"

I couldn't avoid his hand, so I had to turn my eyes to look at the corner of the table, and shook my head stubbornly with irrepressible speculation and longing, "I don't want to." ”

"That's not true. His voice was still low and indifferent, as if he was saying that the weather was good today, and like our topic was not important at all, and after a pause, he continued: "You have been gone for four years, and this king has never been afraid, but for more than a month, what are you afraid of? Go home...... Isn't this your home, where are you going to go back without here?

He actually knows the courtyard in the eastern suburbs, so what else does he not know? After four years of separation, I am still a person with no secrets in front of him, and he, I don't understand it at all.

I didn't know what to say for a long time, but the thumb that was pinched on my chin moved slowly, caressing my lips and gently tracing it. The eyes that were close at hand narrowed slightly, the black pupils gradually narrowed, and they stared at me without blinking, not moving or speaking, as if they were still waiting for my answer.

Moving his gaze down to avoid my embarrassing gaze, he stayed on the black gold-trimmed neckline, but felt his Adam's apple slide, and the placket wrapped around his chest was flat and folded, showing the tightness of his body, only the fingers were still soft.

According to what I knew about him in the past, I was afraid that it would be troublesome to ignore him again, so I grabbed the skirt on my leg and whispered: "The world is big, there is always a place to go." ”

"Yue'er, let me say what is good about you?" Yinzhen's voice sounded closer to my ears, and the sigh was even lower, "This world is my love for the Xinjue Luo family, if you are my woman, where will the ends of the earth go with you, if you refuse to do it again today, what will you say?"

His heart trembled suddenly, and before he could react, his hand was already held in his palm, and with a crisp click, a very wide hollow gold bracelet was already set on his wrist, and a few fine rubies were simply inlaid with them. Under the sunlight, a dazzling golden red light shimmered, as if locking my wrist with his body heat.

I looked at it in amazement, the bracelet was slightly loose, and his thumb rubbed lightly under the bracelet before pulling down my sleeve to cover my wrist. Before I could figure out what he meant, the familiar black satin bag embroidered with bright red roses was stuffed back into my hand.

"Put it away, if I want to send another woman, I don't need to work with your hands, even if it's for you, I can't help it. Don't you believe in fate? This is your fate. If you give it away indiscriminately, you will not only harm the lives of others, but I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it. ”

What flashed in his eyes was firmness or what? I couldn't tell for a while, but I knew that this man had changed a lot, and I couldn't read or guess it.

As I watched him get up from his chair and walk to the door, I didn't have time to think about it, reaching out and grabbing the hem of his robe, and falling to the ground as he moved. Yinzhen stopped, stood in front of the door with his back to me, and the rosewood ornament on the Buddhist beads in his hand shook gently and made a slight sound.

I endured the pain in my elbows and sat up on the ground, still clutching the corners of my black robe in my hands, "Yinzhen ......"

Yin Zhen turned sideways slightly but didn't look at me, the lines in the corners of his eyes were much deeper than four years ago, the corners of his lips were pursed, and the knuckles holding the Buddha beads were white, "You can stay for a while, take advantage of the quiet here, think clearly...... Also nourish the body. ”

His words were no longer emotionless and indifferent, he gently pulled his robe and saw that I would not let go, looked down at me and shook his head almost invisibly, and the thumb with the white jade wrench touched the corner of my eye, and let out a long sigh as I closed my eyes.

"You don't have to be afraid, I have already told Yinxiang Honghui that you are here, so you can live and live. When you think clearly, tell sΓΉ Ruyi, and she will bring you to me. I've waited for four years, and I'm not afraid to wait another four years. ”

After saying that, he stopped looking at me, bent down and took my hand, pulled out the corner of his robe that I had crumpled, and turned to leave. Seeing that I chased after me and hesitated to stand in the door and didn't dare to step out again, he said again: "You can walk around this yard at will, don't go out...... I'm going to be away for a while in a few days, and I'm looking for something to do. ”

His voice was a little helpless, with a very soft smile that seemed to be self-deprecating.

I'm not familiar with such a person, but I still can't help but feel sad and painful.

"Yinzhen ......"
