Chapter 480: Departure
Yi Ruo's heart was in a hurry, his pace quickened, and he rushed into the small kitchen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As soon as I entered, I felt smoke billowing in and choking on my nose.
At a glance, Yi Ruo saw Shui Muqing standing in front of the stove, the unknown dishes in the pot were completely burnt and dry, and a large area of scorched smoke was raised, Shui Muqing was in a hurry, his brows were furrowed tightly, he covered his mouth with one hand, and kept pouring water into the pot with a water scoop in the other hand, and even more smoke rose.
The pupils tightened suddenly, Yi Ruo's steps stepped forward suddenly, snatched the water scoop from Shui Muqing's hand, pushed Shui Muqing's body away with his empty hand, and his voice came down sharply: "What are you doing?!" ā
Immediately, the palm of his hand was heavily raised, and he pushed it violently towards the smoke, and in an instant, the entire small kitchen was clear.
Yi Ruo also instantly saw the pile of black scorched things in the pot that couldn't be seen at all, his brows furrowed more and more, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at Shui Muqing, who was standing behind him at a loss, and his voice became more and more stern: "Don't go out yet?!" ā
When the words fell, Shui Muqing's expression was obviously stunned for a long time, until he met Yi Ruo's extraordinarily stern eyes, then he turned around and walked away from the small kitchen, but he didn't go far, just stood not far from the small kitchen, and his sight was full of sorrow.
Seeing Shui Muqing leave the kitchen, Yi Ruo moved quickly, turned around and ran to the place where the fire was lit behind the stove, and another palm wind rose and pushed towards the bottom door of the pot where the fire was made.
In an instant, the fire that had been burning was extinguished.
Turning around again, Yi Ruo's hand holding the water scoop quickly scooped a scoop of water and poured it into the pot, "Thorn-" A large area of water vapor rose, and in an instant, it washed away the remaining smoke and became a lot clearer.
In a moment, the smoke cleared, and the small kitchen soon became apparent again. Yi Ruo stared at the thing in the pot that was already charred and black, his expression was heavy, he put down the water scoop, turned around and walked out.
Just three steps out of the small kitchen, at a glance, I saw Shui Muqing standing quietly on the side, his vision instantly dimmed again, his steps forward, and his voice fell: "I know that I am not in good health, so I don't want to do these things." The words sounded harsh, but they seemed to show concern.
Shui Muqing's head hung slightly, his eyes looked at the ground, and he listened to Yi Ruo's words for a long time before he raised his head, his smile was a little weak, and his voice said softly: "I used to ...... Will do ......."
His brows moved slightly, Yi Ruo glanced at Shui Muqing deeply, didn't say anything, raised his footsteps, turned around and walked back in the direction of the main hall.
Shui Muqing didn't move, and the water-green clothes dragged into the snow for a long time, wetting a large area.
"I used to ...... It's really going to be ......."
The voice fell more and more slightly.
Before, that before she was called Qi Qing.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Sitting down in the main room, the hem of the clothes drooped beside her legs, Shui Muqing realized that the clothes were already wet, lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand, and wanted to squeeze the wet place dry, and as soon as her body bent down, the woman's white robe had already appeared in her eyes.
After a moment's pause, Shui Muqing raised her eyes, and a clean water-pink robe had appeared in front of her.
"Let's change it." Yi Ruo's eyes were clean and calm.
His eyes fell slightly on the robe, and Shui Muqing's smile was still shallow: "It's okay, it's dry when you blow it." ā
Hearing the sound, Yi Ruo didn't make much of a move, put the clothes on the table next to Shui Muqing, cleared his throat, and began to get down to business:
"Prince, I'm back in the palace."
Shui Muqing, who lowered his head and wrung out the hem of his clothes, stopped his movements, raised his eyes, and looked at Yi Ruo, with a light expression, as if he had something in mind, but he did not speak, but listened to Yi Ruo's words quietly.
"The sacrificial ceremony is getting closer and closer, and with such a heavy snow falling this year, the standard of the sacrificial ceremony must be the highest ceremony. At that time, there will be some commotion on all sides. ā
Hearing Yi Ruo's last words, Shui Muqing's eyes swelled with doubts, and he asked softly: "Will all parties make moves?" ā
With a look in his eyes, Yi Ruo's eyes lifted, looked in the direction of the door of the house, and confirmed that no one was approaching, so he turned around and said softly but forcefully: "Yi Concubine, most of you can't wake up." ā
"What did you say?" Shui Muqing's expression stiffened suddenly, he got up, and slammed his hand on the table, and his voice instantly rose a lot.
Yi Ruo looked at Shui Muqing's reaction, but did not make a sound immediately, and sighed deeply in her heart, the reason why she would know was because she heard it from Ah Mu.
Although Ah Mu had also carefully examined Yi Concubine's injury, he didn't notice anything abnormal, it was just an ordinary palm injury, but Yi Concubine never woke up.
Ah Du finally had a bold inference in his heart, thinking about it, someone in this palace must have taken advantage of Yi Concubine's injury to do something to her.
"How would you know?!" Shui Muqing's heart was still shocked by Yi Ruo's words, and walked in front of her, as if she wanted to ask clearly.
"How do I know, you don't need to know." As soon as he came back to his senses, Yi Ruo's voice was very calm and calm, and he directly rejected Shui Muqing.
"But......" Shui Muqing opened his mouth, and wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Yi Ruo's voice.
"All you need to do is make some noise on the day of the sacrifice." After a moment's pause, Yi Ruo's vigilant eyes turned again and looked at the location at the door of the room, "As for how to do it, you should know." The bigger the movement, the better. ā
At the end, Yi Ruo's gaze looked away, and he said the last sentence deeply: "After the sacrifice ceremony, I will send you out of Kyoto safely." ā
"Yi Ruo!" Shui Muqing's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Yi Ruo's figure that was about to leave, he stretched out his hand in a panic, grabbed Yi Ruo's cuffs, and his voice trembled, "You say...... Send me out of Kyoto? ā
Yi Ruo was already facing away from Shui Muqing, and when he heard her words, he didn't turn around, paused for a moment, and with a force in his hand, he shook off Shui Muqing's hand, and his voice was so low that he couldn't distinguish it:
"Shui Muqing, your task is complete."
No more stops, stride away.
My mission, done.
Shui Muqing only felt that his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and when he stumbled under his feet, he was about to fall to the ground, and he held on to the door frame so that he wouldn't fall to the ground.
Finally...... Is it finally time for you to leave?
Get out of here, leave the Imperial Palace, leave Kyoto.
Haven't you always wanted to get out of here? Haven't you always wanted to get rid of the palace? Haven't you always wanted to go back to the place where you live?
But...... But why, the place in my heart hurts as if it is not my heart.
