Chapter Forty-Seven: Night Deng

Taoist priests avoid eating less meat, and after eating on the first night of Qingtai Shen, more than a dozen female crowns in the temple went to their respective quiet rooms to practice chanting scriptures. Su warmed up and bathed and had no appetite, drank half a bowl of white rice porridge, wrapped a steamed bun in oil paper and went back to the room, and suddenly remembered that she was carrying a small half bottle of rose sauce on her body, which she bought in Dianrongzhai the day before she left Beijing, and Yan also discounted it.

As she walked, she took out a finger-high porcelain bottle, opened the lid and smelled it, and couldn't resist the urge to apply it to the steamed buns. She hadn't eaten much in the morning, and the scent of roses was so strong that she took a big bite with her face facing the trunk to avoid being seen.

Then she heard the faint sound of the door opening from behind, and she rushed to the room with an arrow, still covering her mouth with a little sauce, as if she was chasing a debtor behind.

Sheng Yunyi swept what she was doing at a glance, and she had to smear a bottle of sauce with eight coins of silver when she ate a steamed bun, no wonder she had to take it back to the room, just for fear of being said to be hypocritical.

It's really a girl who is overly well raised.

He stood alone in the courtyard for a long time, and the setting sun gradually sank down the mountain, and the clouds and mist full of water vapor on the top of the mountain rolled down, and the dark blue mountains in the distance were not visible at all. The sky darkened, and a star in the east showed its brilliant brilliance with the moon, and sprinkled the entire courtyard safely.

When the evening bell rang, the female crowns had gone to bed early, and the night wind was extremely cold and sharp as a blade, and he still stood by the crooked stele, watching the moon move westward.

Tomorrow he will pay tribute to the deceased, probably for the last time. The River Drum Guard was ready, and he only needed to wait for an order to put an end to all the past that had made him lose his sense of proportion.

On the top of the moon, the shadow of a short hairpin appeared on the side of the stone at some point, and the hairpin head was carved in the shape of an orchid. He quietly removed the soles of his boots, as if he could not bear to crush its first bloom.

"Has His Majesty been here all along?"

Sheng Yunyi looked back, and the bright moonlight covered her loose robe layer by layer, lining the whole person like a snow orchid open in the wind. He looked at her for a long time before his clear eyes fell on the hosta in her black hair.

The flower is in his pupils, and the shadow is at his feet.

He turned his head at such a close distance, but the corners of his lips were slightly curled, "Your ears are not good, and you didn't hear the door closing." ”

Su Huihui said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you lie to me again, I sat in the house and stayed for an afternoon, how could I not hear if I entered the room next door and closed the door." ”

He saw her expression calm, the fingers in his sleeve rubbing a certain object, and lowered his voice a little softer, "You are much more awake now than in the afternoon, do you still want to ask me questions?"

Su Huihui forgot what to pry out of his mouth in the afternoon, she obviously didn't do anything to make herself feel sorry, but she always couldn't say a word in front of him for a long time, and she couldn't listen to the prevarication that she finally pulled out.

Maybe it's because the face is too dazzling, and the eyes are too penetrating and sharp.

The shadows of the trees swayed, the night owls cried, and the wet mist wrapped around her, and she said in a tidal wave of night:

"Actually, I don't want to ask anything, I just want to know, is it the Lu family who came to worship? If so, then I won't be suspicious anymore. Can you take me to the mound of clothes?"

Sheng Yunyi's body absorbed the brilliance of the stars and moon, and the melting color flowed silently, and he sighed silently,

"This is not the palace, so there is no need to beat around the bush with me. ”

She was a little confused by his helpless tone, and after a long time, she whispered, "I have nothing to say." I went back to my room. ”

His eyesight was very good, and he saw her shoulder shake, and her words were faster than thinking for a while, "In that case, it's a pity that I won't take you to see General Lu's tomb." ”

Su Huihui stood still, feeling that he had countless handles pinched in other people's hands, and his hesitant gaze touched his spring-like eyes, but he suddenly calmed down.

He was waiting for her to speak.

"I really don't want to ask His Majesty any more, it's just ...... I remembered something about Majesty. ”

He bent his eyes, as if he thought it was funny, "When did Doctor Su remember something about me?" Okay, Su Huihui, I will listen to everything you say. ”

She was stunned, but it was even more unnatural, but she was not a person who couldn't stand the scene, so she simply said very slowly:

"I rushed from Fanjing to Qingtai Mountain non-stop, and I didn't have much hope, I just wanted to see her. I thought I was cold, but when I got here, I realized that it was still ...... It's sad. ”

She looked at him directly, and once she started, it was much smoother, "Actually, I haven't been wronged since I was a child, and I didn't feel it when I was a child, and I didn't find out until I got older...... It turns out that all the people I care about are being wronged, but I am so satisfied that I can hardly remember what kind of life they are doing. I didn't worry about my livelihood, and I didn't feel bad about being alone, but when I came out of her room today, I realized that it wasn't something to celebrate. It was precisely because of the lack of experience that the rejection was particularly unbearable, and I wanted to take her down the mountain to spend her old age with her and cure her illness, but I didn't have time to say a word. ”

Sheng Yunyi said: "She doesn't remember the past, so you don't need to worry about it." ”

Su Huihui shook his head and said, "I won't worry about this, and I don't think it's against the law to respect her...... Of course, there is no medical ethics anymore. She couldn't remember the sins she had suffered in her early years, and it was a relief for her. That's it," she put her hand on her forehead to cover her eyebrows, "and she told me directly that she didn't have to go to great lengths to see her in the future, she wouldn't recognize me, and she wouldn't want to see me." ”

She almost choked up when she said the last word, unable to survive under his attentive and bright eyes, turning her back and not taking a single step.

Sheng Yunyi Qingyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "So squeamish, I really haven't suffered a little grievance." He added: "I didn't expect your reaction to let you say it." ”

Su Huihui hung his head, "There are only a few people I care about, but I haven't thought about them, I looked at my grandmother and thought of others." The rest of the people probably won't want to see me anymore. They don't have bad intentions, just pure ...... for various reasons. Don't want to see me. ”

She was probably talking about the people who had opened a way for her, and as she realized, they would be very uneasy if they saw her go back, and all their hard work would come to naught. Sheng Yunyi looked at her shadow and got a little closer to the hem of her clothes, and the round and slightly cool thing in her hand was half a circle on her thumb, and said lightly:

"If you don't want to see it, you don't want to see it, I thought you were cold-blooded, but now you are wrong. ”

Su Huihui couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Where am I cold-blood......ed! Where did you see that, don't make it up out of thin air, it's just a little-"

He smiled like a fox, "It's just a little bit unexpressive, or a little indifferent? girl, with all due respect, your usual attitude towards people is really respectful." ”

Su Huihui glared at him fiercely, and poked out all his anger at him, making him seem to know everything. watched an intriguing show, and it was very comfortable to think about.

Suddenly, I heard him call: "Su warms up." ”

Reluctantly, she put her eyes on him and said weakly, "What are you doing?" ”

Sheng Yunyi's cuffs had an extra turquoise chun, soaring in the air, making a gesture to fall. His well-proportioned fingers were like snow in the moonlight, resting on two translucent crystal beads, indescribably refreshing and beautiful.

Su warmed up and stiffened to pick it up.

The palms of his fingertips were soft, like freshly peeled silk in a silkworm cocoon, and his heart was also soaked soft by a keen sense of touch, so that his eyes were bright, clear and shallow like flowing clouds brushing her face.

"The thing is returned to its rightful owner. ”

She froze in place for a moment, forgetting all her words.

She had been wearing a bracelet for more than a decade, once it was taken away, and now the person who took it has returned it. Taken away in front of her, and appeared in front of her again. She looked at him incomprehensibly, and he returned to that indifferent appearance, motionless as a mountain, solid as a rock, and could not see a single fluctuation.

"I don't need to kneel in the future, Su Huihui, I think you haven't forgotten what your surname is, and I can't afford to be a big gift from someone who is not my dynasty. ”

It's finally here. From the moment she met him on the beach, she knew everything he knew about her background. It is really useless to deceive oneself.

Su Huihui has always avoided talking about her identity in her heart, she knows that the unwarranted identity has already been exposed in front of him, but she thought that without saying anything, she could live in an official uniform step by step, but just when she was most relaxed, he gave her a blow that caught her off guard.

Her voice was dry in thanks, and he said lightly: "Master Su is afraid of being kicked out of the official office? Didn't the people of your country say that day, with Master Su's identity that he was not removed from the jade office, how dare I move?"

Su Huihui was dumbfounded, how much did he know! When Liang Guo's secret guard who stole medicine told her this sentence that day, no one else was present at all! Could it be that he had an invisible eyeliner next to her?

Sheng Yunyi flicked off the fallen leaves on his clothes, "I have always disliked others to hide it in front of me, thinking that you have never had the heart to hide it, so I only said this to you now, just to remind you that if you want to continue to stay in my Qi country, don't get involved in those things thousands of miles away." ”

Su Huihui barely calmed down, "Your Majesty has been counting it in my heart since I first entered the palace." ”

How could he let a person with a vague background enter the Tai Hospital?

The curvature of the corners of Sheng Yunyi's mouth was like a crescent moon on the canopy, "You have never covered it." To be honest, I have never met someone as broad-hearted as Dr. Su. ”

I've never seen such a girl who can't resist questioning, being exposed, and not much self-awareness. It's really awe-inspiring, and if someone tortures her to extract a confession, it must be a very boring thing.

Su Hui was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "Your Majesty just said that I have no experience in resisting confessions." ”

He said, "When did I force you?"

A gust of wind blew through the ends of her hair, and she recited a few words in a very low voice, saying, "So, I have always been grateful to Your Majesty for giving me a place to stay." ”

Sheng Yunyi snorted, "What do I can't tolerate? There are thousands of mansions in this world, and people are no more than nine feet tall, so let's see how much weight you can occupy." You shouldn't thank me, it's your elders and master who paved the way for you, and it's up to you how you go next. I didn't interfere because you're smart. ”

"His Majesty is really broad-minded. She complimented with a blank face.

He suppressed the inexplicable discomfort in his heart, and snorted coldly: "It's only been a few days, and I've learned to play official." Now I'm going to go to the top of the mountain, and if you don't want to rest, come with me, and I won't help you if you fall. ”

“…… Well. ”

Su Huihui had no confidence to speak in front of him, even if he asked her to walk all night, she would not refute.

It was late at night, the dew was heavy on the mountain paths, and the weeds were crushed by the cold of early winter, and they were covered with stones and dry streams, and the stars flashed silver and white.

Shoes on the soft branches and fallen leaves are pleasant, but walking for more than an hour is not a pleasure. The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and she had the foresight to bring her baggage, and when she got to the place, she would eat something to replenish her body. I hadn't climbed the mountain for a long time, and the stone steps of the abandoned previous generation were covered with stones, and the soles of my feet were swollen and painful, but when I saw the sassy figure a few steps ahead, I had to trot to keep up.

Sheng Yunyi took someone with her, but her steps showed no signs of slowing down, she suddenly realized that she couldn't blame him, he had actually given her the greatest leniency, she was self-inflicted and exhausted. Was there anything she didn't do? He never stopped her, and even helped her in private, speaking for her in front of everyone......

Su Huihui's feet were empty, she screamed, her eyes quickly grabbed a vine that was born on the ground, and most of her body was already hanging outside the mound, and she glanced back at it in the moonlight, and suddenly got goosebumps. I saw that the feet were about three zhang high from the loess, and there were several lonely graves at the bottom, and there seemed to be black and swarthy rats shuttling and jumping in between.

Just thinking about what Sheng Yunyi was doing, he forgot to look at the road, and didn't notice that a large piece was missing from the edge of the steps where the two of them walked, if he didn't hold the rattan, it would definitely be the consequence of falling.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but found that the wrist-thick vine could not bear the weight, and was sliding down little by little, even if she was ashamed, she still shouted:

"Majesty?"

Sheng Yunyi didn't need to look at it to understand what was going on, and stopped his boots, "I said, if you fall, I won't help you." ”

Su Hui's waist hung in mid-air, holding the vines that could not last long with both hands, and forced him to calm down:

"I remember, so your majesty can find a sturdy branch to pull me!"

Who wants him to remind!

Seeing that the skin of the plant turned from green to brown and was about to reach the roots, she wanted to cry without tears, she should not fall to death, but it was more than enough to break her legs, she really didn't want to sleep with the mouse in the crooked graveyard for a night!

The sound of squirming was that he was rummaging on the ground, and after a while, a leisurely sentence came out:

"Can't find it. ”

Su Huihui suddenly returned to Zou Yuan's pond, the feeling of the iron pendant sinking down was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and his voice was urgent and frightened:

"I heard you pick up several!"

A pair of satin boots painted with rosewood painted clouds appeared in front of her, he lifted up his robe and squatted down, his eyes were full of spring breeze smiles, and said seriously:

"You said you wanted to be strong, so I tried every one I picked up and it broke when I skimmed it, which didn't meet your requirements. ”

Su Huihui calmed down at this time, and stopped making a sound, staring firmly at his beautiful eyes, holding the branches and leaves with his fingers, pulling down the traces of blood.

He sighed and said, "Don't move yet." ”

She loosened her nerves, knowing that he would not leave herself alone, and moved her arm to the right, but she heard him say:

"It's a nuisance. ”

For the first time, she looked so close and so intently at his slender and powerful hand, slowly reaching out to her eyes. The hand was dyed with a clear moonlight, and there were a few thin cocoons, but it did not affect the beauty and nobility of the craftsman's exquisite carving.

Then her eyes went dark, thinking that her body couldn't hold it anymore, but her eyelashes suddenly itched slightly.

The moonlight returned, and Su Huihui recovered from his shock, he had already withdrawn the fingers that brushed her eyelashes, and the warm palm pressed against the back of her scrubbed hand, wrapped around her shoulder, and easily pulled her up.

Her feet touched the ground, and she subconsciously swept the grass clippings off her shoulders, as if to wipe away the residual heat from him.

Sheng Yunyi took a few steps, "Still stunned for what to do, we have to arrive before sunrise." ”

After a while, she woke up and answered in a low voice.

The clouds in the distance obscured the moon hook, and the fog in the forest grew thicker, surging down the old stone steps in front of it, burrowing into the cuffs and collar.

He didn't hear footsteps, and glanced back at her, who stood in the silent darkness, her eyes flickering with a warm glow, as if he were a light source in the still night.

Sheng Yunyi turned her back, her eyes laughed softly in a place she couldn't see, but her voice was still cold:

"Got a foot? ”
