Once upon a time
*
The sound of wheels and the hooves of horses, Wen Xi slept very unsteadily, and when he woke up from a deep sleep, he was already sweating all over his body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Miss, wipe your sweat. Along with these words of concern came a cool silk handkerchief.
Wen Ximulan took it, wiped her forehead, she turned her head to look out of the bamboo curtain of the car window, the carriage kept going south, and the road was lined with lush trees.
It was very hot, and the towel soon became a little warm, and the maid was very careful, took it from Wen Xi's hand, washed it in the clear water on the copper plate, and handed it to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi pinched the towel and squeezed it very tightly, she didn't move, and the water dripped from between her fingers, dripping so wet that her knees were wet.
The two maids looked at each other, and one of them called softly: "Miss, if you don't need it, give the veil to the slave." ”
Wenxi remained as indifferent as a stone carving.
"Miss?" she called again.
"Slave ......" Wen Xi opened his mouth, turned his head, looked at her, and asked, "Where are you from, why do you call yourself a slave?"
The maid hurriedly bowed her head and replied: "The slave is the maid in the Jade Mirror Palace, and the girl can be called Tong'er." ”
"The slave is Bi'er. The other also bowed his head.
"Jade Mirror Palace?" Wen Xi looked at them, "Where is that?"
"It's the royal palace in Yongtai Palace. Tong'er replied.
Wen Xi was dazed, she tried to think about something, suddenly she had a headache, and hurriedly threw the towel to cover her head.
"Miss!" Tong'er hurriedly called, "Miss, where is she unwell?"
Wen Xi didn't have the strength to answer her, she had a splitting headache, why was she here, where was she going, who were they, what was Jade Mirror Palace?
Wen Xi suddenly put down her hand, who is herself?!
"Wang, Miss, she ......" Bi'er hurriedly lifted the curtain and called to the front.
Xu Changling immediately threw the reins of the horse to the adjutant general on the side, and he himself swept up, jumped onto the car, and got into the carriage.
Wen Xi sat with his knees crossed, his fingers clasped tightly on his arm, he hadn't seen Wen Xi like this for many years, when he rescued her, she was restless day and night, whenever she recalled the past, when she was in pain and terrified, he made her forget all those past events in her sleep.
Xu Changling's brows furrowed tightly, he sat down beside her, took her hand again, and put his three fingers on the veins.
Her breath was disordered, her pulse seemed to be insignificant, and her mind was distracted—she could no longer bear such a slumber that drained her memory, her heart was in turmoil, perhaps because of the poison she had done two years ago, perhaps because she had practiced the evil art of bad birth, or perhaps because he had inflicted his worries too often.
He put her hand down and held her in his arms again, "Xiaoxi, what's uncomfortable?"
Wenxi shook her head and didn't speak, she felt very confused, not only chaotic, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but this embrace was very warm and reassuring to her, she really wanted to sleep again, maybe after falling asleep, these uncomfortable feelings would disappear.
"Konishi. Xu Changling called again.
"Hmm......" Wen Xi raised her head, her eyes misty, bothering to look at the person in front of her, "Konishi?" she shook her head again, "Master?" she said, tentatively.
Xu Changling breathed a sigh of relief, he took one of her hands and said, "Master is here." ”
Wen Xi hugged him tightly, crying like a child, "Master, I'm not lazy in my practice, don't let me carry water to the concave moon valley again." ”
That was once upon a time, but from the past......
Xu Changling stroked her hair, "Okay." He replied.
"Then I don't want to learn the piano. "She's a bit more scoundrel.
Xu Changling smiled softly, and his tone was soft as if he was facing a ball of feathers: "Okay." ”
Tong'er and Bi'er sat on their knees, they had never seen such a regent in front of them, although they were so gentle, they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.
"Can I still go down the hill then?" asked Wency.
"Not good. Xu Changling refused.
"Why?" said Wency.
"Did the stinky boy at the dim sum shop in the town ask you to see the lanterns?" Xu Changling said with a slight smile, as if that thing was happening.
"Hey, Master knows?" Wen Xi was surprised, she obviously didn't say anything.
Xu Changling pinched her face and said, "What doesn't Master know?"
Wen Xi was not discouraged, "Master, I'll just go for a while, just a while, okay?"
Xu Changling still shook his head: "It's not good, it's not good for a while, you go to see the excitement, the master is alone on the mountain, it will be very lonely." ”
"Ah......" Wen Xi looked at him, and sure enough, there was some loss in this smile, and she rubbed her head against his chest, "Then, I'll still accompany Master." ”
"Good. Xu Changling rubbed his chin against the top of her head, "You will always accompany Master......
The carriage shook slightly, and Wincy yawned, she was still very tired, but the master was here, everything would be fine, and she fell asleep.
Xu Changling's index finger curled slightly, clasped her face, and gently brushed the corner of her lips with his thumb, and looked at this sleeping face for a long time, after all, he let go of his hand and exhaled deeply.
The sky gradually darkened, without Xu Changling's order, the team still walked forward, this area is a vein of Hengshan, stretching for more than 300 miles, after the narrow valley, it will arrive at the territory of Yucheng.
As twilight wore on, the torches were lit, and there was no murmur in the long procession except for the sound of horses' hooves and wheels.
Xu Changling was motionless, holding Wen Xi, who was sleeping sweetly, in the car, she muttered a few times from time to time, and Xu Changling gently coaxed.
Tong'er and Bi'er's legs were already numb, and they still didn't dare to move half of them, they still remembered the regent's killing methods, which treated a girl as a daughter and coaxed the regent, which was really very different from the previous appearance, no, not quite right, this is no longer like treating a daughter or an apprentice, but more like a lover......
Tong'er pursed her lips tightly, she would never confide in anyone, everything in front of her, every word she heard, she had to forget it cleanly.
The carriage suddenly jolted, Tong'er couldn't sit steadily, and fell directly on Bi'er, and before the two could ask the regent for their guilt, they suddenly saw the regent suddenly lift the curtain and stretch out a hand, and the team immediately stopped neatly.
He gently put the sleeping Wenxi down on the brocade mat in the car, and then slowly got out of the car.
"My lord, there are so many stones on the road that I am afraid it will be difficult to pass by. "Someone rushed back from the front to give a report.
Countless torches shine on the ground, and the majestic procession of armor is like a fire dragon moving at night, and the road in front of the ground is full of large and small stones, which are clearly distinguished in light and shadow.
Xu Changling took a torch from the hand of the attendant beside him, took a few steps forward, kicked away a stone under his feet, turned back suddenly, and said, "Bingliang, remember to leave a few more alive!"
Before his words fell, he suddenly heard an overwhelming roar that seemed to be coming from all directions.
A few startled horses that raised their hooves and neighed fell to a pool of blood in an instant, Xu Changling withdrew his hand, and there were several silver nails with a three-inch length between his fingers.
