Chapter Thirty-Eight: Beauty Comes Out of the Bath

Ziruo continued: "Do you think that I loved Hong Jingxiao before, just because he was a prince of the Houmen? The enmity of my parents is so deep, and now the emperor of the Wei Dynasty has done a lot of evil, and only by overthrowing the Wei Dynasty in the name of the Great Qi Hong clan can I realize my parents' wish and avenge them." ”

She didn't care much about politics before, and she knew that her parents' revenge could not be avenged, could it be that she could kill all the Great Wei royal family and courtiers?

After fleeing for a few days, Zhao Weisong talked about it along the way, and inadvertently awakened the seeds of her revenge: it turned out that she overthrew the Great Wei and let Xianbei return to the original Mobei grassland, so that she could truly realize the will of her parents and complete revenge.

Ling Yun said: "Then do you still love your Hong Gongzi now?"

Zi Ruo said gloomily: "I'm a servant girl, where can I talk about love or not, it's just that the court has already classified me and them as key criminals, grasshoppers on a rope, and there are eggs under the nest, can I still survive?"

Ling Yun said: "The emperor of the Wei Dynasty has millions of soldiers and thousands of miles of land, but he is afraid of more than a dozen of you, do you think it's strange?"

Zi Ruo said: "Not all emperors in the world are the same, let alone a dozen, there is one person who doesn't listen to his orders and makes trouble with him all day long, and he can't sleep." If you become the emperor, you think, the whole world is all yours, but there is one person who is unwilling to submit to you, there is such a small piece of land that does not listen to you, even if you spend ten thousand taels of silver and kill thousands of people, you have to conquer that one person and that piece of land, otherwise, the world is not all yours, one day, you are facing a group of ministers and hundreds of officials, you can't say, the whole world is not the king's land, you are worried about that land that does not surrender, where can you sleep at night. ”

Ling Yun teased: "You seem to have been an emperor, and you even know his thoughts." ”

Ziruo smiled miserably and said, "I have never been an emperor, but I am a woman, and a woman is a domineering emperor in her feelings." In the relationship, women demand that all the man's is mine, and she can't tolerate a trace of betrayal, otherwise she will do it, even if the chickens and dogs are jumping upside down, even if she knows that she is unreasonable, she will not stop, unless the man throws away his armor, cuts the land and pays compensation, and completely admits defeat. ”

Her eyes were glazed, and she said thoughtfully: "I just know that the more this is the case, it is always the woman who loses." ”

Ling Yun said: "Alas, it shouldn't remind you of your parents, it was originally because that Hong Gongzi was unhappy, and now it makes you even more sad, I'm really not good at comforting others, forgive me." ”

Zi Ruo said: "It's nothing, it's all over, I'm just impulsive, I shouldn't have hit you." ”

The two of them actually said kind words to each other, which really made Ling Yun puzzled.

Zi Ruo said: "I know, you are an official, I am a prisoner, I will go to the dungeon obediently in a while, can you find a place for me to take a bath before this." "She smelled of vegetable juice and blood, and it was unbearable.

Ling Yun said: "Let's go to the backyard." ”

Glancing at the two corpses in the hall, Ling Yun said in his heart: "It would be convenient if there was Hu Shao's corpse water. "Anyway, these two people are going to commit crimes, wait until tomorrow to tell Sun Xun, it's not bad to let him take him away as a favor, I'm too lazy to deal with it myself.

The two came to the dark backyard, where there was silence.

Ling Yun took the candlestick on the table in the front hall, reflecting a piece of light, and the two of them came to the master's room in the backyard, which was simply furnished, and the master only occasionally counted accounts and wrote documents, and spent the night here, not a long stay, so there were not too many things.

There was a large wooden barrel in the house, and it had accumulated a lot of dust, and it seemed that it had not been used for a long time.

Ziruo frowned and said, "This is so dirty, forget it, I still won't wash it." ”

Ling Yunxin said: "I don't want to wash in this bucket, let alone her." ”

So, Ling Yun had to take Ziruo to an aunt's room, I don't know how many aunts and wives are here, the room is neat and fresh, the furnishings are gorgeous, there is a bath bucket in the inner room, the room is relatively hidden, except for a screen, there is also a room separated from the outside, Ziruo is more satisfied.

"This is your aunt's room?" Zi Ruo asked when she saw that the room was full of women's supplies.

"No, this is my room for my next aunt. Ling Yun smiled.

"Then why did you bring me here?" Ziruo has been in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he has a strict distinction between master and servant, and he never dares to use the supplies of the masters, so when he heard him say that it was prepared for the next aunt's wife, he thought that he already had a candidate, and he was afraid of getting into trouble.

"Because that's what it's for you. Lingyun said.

Zi Ruo understood what he meant, although his aunt had not chosen, the room was prepared, and he said angrily: "You just give up, I don't want to be your aunt's wife, you have to find a young lady, preferably the kind that is spicy and arrogant, treat you well, I am a maidservant, where is worthy of you." ”

There was a stove in the house, with unburned black charcoal piled up underneath, and a chimney on top of it drained out of the house. There was a large vat of water beside it, and Ling Yun lit the stove, and the vat of water was baked by the stove across the wall of the vat wall, and after a while, the water became warm. Generally, when the water is hot, the next person will use a scoop to scoop the water from the tank into the bath bucket, for convenience, you can also use the scoop water to rinse, no need to soak in the wooden barrel to wash.

Ling Yun said: "Here is a scoop, you scoop up the water and wash it yourself, I won't wash it for you." ”

"Get out!" Zi Ruo angrily picked up the scoop and made a gesture to smash it, taking advantage of Lingyun to rush out of the room, and hurriedly plugged in the door latch from the house.

Ling Yun said outside the door: "Don't you want to escape, as long as you hear the sound of water inside, I will rush in." ”

Zi Ruo said angrily: "Rush in, and I will poke you blind." ”

There was a sound of water in the house, and sure enough, Ziruo was worried that this scoundrel really rushed in, so she kept scooping water to rinse.

The candlestick was left in the room, Ling Yun sat down on the chair next to the screen outside the door, looked at the room, and said in his heart: "This candlestick is misplaced, you can't see a shadow at all, it's boring." ”

"Okay?" Ling Yun asked after a long time.

There was no sound in the room.

Ling Yun was suspicious, knocked on the door, and said, "Okay, okay, can I rush in without speaking?"

There was no one in the room to answer, not even the sound of water.

Ling Yun secretly screamed that something was wrong, took a few steps back, and rushed towards the thin wooden door, and was about to hit the door when the door opened from the inside.

Ling Yun hit with too much force, didn't brake for a while, and rushed to Ziruo's body.

Ziruo finished taking a bath, exuding a strange fragrance all over his body, and his clothes were changed, with a smile on his face, he didn't push Ling Yun away, and let him lean on himself.

Ling Yun stood firm and said, "Why haven't you replied to me all the time?"

Zi Ruo said angrily: "I'm getting dressed, how can I answer you?"

Ling Yun asked, "Where did this dress come from?"

Ziruo smiled and said, "On the bench next to the bathtub in the house, there is a new dress, I will wear it, what's wrong, isn't it beautiful?"

Ling Yun glanced at it, and sure enough, the old clothes were thrown on the bench next to him, piled up.

Zi Ruoyan smiled and said, "You won't blame me for changing this clothes, right?"

Ling Yun saw her demeanor change drastically, and said in her heart: "After taking a bath, how can you look like a different person?"

Ling Yun picked up the iron chain placed on the ground and said, "Now I have wronged you to go to the dungeon to rest for one night, in order to prevent you from escaping, you still have to lock the chain." ”

Zi Ruo shyly threw herself into his arms and said, "The dungeon is so terrible, are you willing to send me to that kind of place?"
