53 Good intentions
Sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake, the entourage carefully carried the precious guqin to Chu Yan in front of Chu Yan in a short time. Chu Yan plucked the strings, felt that the timbre was good, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, her hands pressed on the strings, and she elegantly outlined the strings, and the sound of the piano jumped out of her fingertips leisurely.
Chu Yan just plucked the strings at random at first, but after a while, he couldn't help but get serious and played the triumphant music played in the army. This song is sonorous and killing, with a strong killing intent and war intent, Chu Yan was immersed in the fantasy of life and death on the battlefield, recalling the days of being cautious and cautious in the court, as well as the emperor's favored smile, the words of the crown prince, the heavy and indifferent eyes of King Ning, and the meaningful advice of the prince...... Then came the deep questioning of Hua Du in the dark night, and Hua Xun gritted his teeth and begged with hatred...... Finally, there is Hana'an's smiling but not silent bewitching face. Chu Yan's mind was exposed to the sound of the piano, sometimes ruthless and cold, sometimes gentle and kind, sometimes depressed and solemn. But those faces disturbed the plan in her heart, whether they were friends or enemies, calculating and fighting, Chu Yan suppressed her distraction, but thinking of the approaching wedding date, King Ning's illness, the prince's actions, and the mess of flower inquiries, she couldn't help but grit her back molars and used a little strength.
The thin strings couldn't stop the murderous intent of Chu Yan's fingertips, and the thud came to an abrupt end, breaking at the moment when Chu Yan woke up. Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at the sun pouring down outside the pavilion and exhaled. The pastries were put up, and Bai Qian put a cup of tea in Chu Yan's hand, and made a salute: "Forgive the slave maid for making a claim and making a cup of chrysanthemum tea for the county lord." ”
Chu Yan's eyes turned to Bai Qi's smiling face, frowned, and showed doubts: "I heard from the next person, you went out in the morning, where did you go?" She asked casually, just strangely.
"The market in Chang'an City is very lively, I saw that there were chrysanthemums for sale, so I bought some to make tea for the county lord." Bai Qian motioned for Chu Yan to take a sip of the tea she had made.
Picking up the tea, Chu Yan sniffed the aroma carefully, his brows relaxed, his mood was much brighter, and he nodded: "It smells very fragrant, I know that Huafu has always been the manager of flowers, and this flower tea is also a good hand, I didn't expect that a maid in Huafu could also have such skills." As he spoke, he took a sip of flower tea, full of fragrance.
"It's just because we are the master's personal entourage, and the master likes these things very much, and in order to please the master, the entourage will have some skills to some extent." Bai Qian explained to Chu Yan, and then changed his words, "It's a pity that the slave and maid can't follow the master all the time, I don't know how the master is doing now, whether he is well fed and clothed, this weather changes a lot, it will be cold, the master is delicate, and he is most afraid of the cold." ”
Chu Yan held the tea and said with emotion: "Ask Tang that my worries are no less than yours." She said sullenly, "I hope she doesn't blame me." If she comes to Chang'an, I will personally apologize to her! ”
"County Lord, the master is so smart, he will definitely understand your good intentions." Bai Qi's face was sad, but he still comforted Chu Yan.
Not far from the Lake Center Pavilion, the flower bank pinched the melon seeds and knocked happily, and next to it stood Huadu holding an umbrella. Huadu is dressed in white, but her lips are a little whiter, and Hua'an is dressed in red, and she is red and white, and the two are extremely beautiful women, standing together like a landscape, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off. It's a pity that as soon as Hanaan opened his mouth, he ruined the quiet atmosphere.
"What are we doing here? Do you see Chu Xiaopang hooking up with our maid who asks Tang? Hua An curiously craned her neck and looked at the two people in the Huxin Pavilion.
Hua Du stared at it and said lightly: "Don't be rude." After all, Zhong Ci is the daughter of the dignified King Ning and the lord of Anhe, and you call her a nickname in front of people, so as not to be unseemly. ”
"What's out of shape? Look at how happy she is talking and laughing with Bai Qi, she doesn't care about her reputation and majesty at all! She rolled her eyes disdainfully and said, "This girl is clever, she has long seen through that Chu Xiaopang is a sanctimonious hypocrite, look, take advantage of her friend's absence to flirt with the servant!" This, this, what a system! The more he talked, the more angry he felt, threw away all the melon seeds, clapped his palms, and glared at Chu Yan with gritted teeth.
Hua Du turned his face to look at her and shook his head: "Seven emotions and six desires, what is the difference between you and ordinary people?" ”
"Eh, I said Hua Jieyu, don't think that if I believe what you say, you will get my forgiveness," Hua An pursed her lips and said unhappily, "This girl still suspects that your purpose has ulterior motives, although Chu Xiaopang, a fool, will listen to your words and really refuse Hua Xun, but don't forget, we all watched the mirror at the beginning, but you didn't see it, if you lie, you will be caught by Chu Xiaopang and cut down sooner or later!" She gestured and slashed her neck with her palm, "You must abide by the rules of the mortal world in this mortal world, and even if you are an immortal, you have to kill your head...... Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you can't kill your head. Shrugging his shoulders stupidly, Hanaan leaned against the rockery stones, holding his face to look at Huadu.
Hua Du said calmly: "Mingjing peeps at people, Zhong Ci must have seen something, otherwise, she wouldn't have heard me tell her that she and Wen Tang's fate was connected, her face changed drastically, and she believed my words." She glanced at Hua An and said solemnly, "Maybe it has something to do with you." ”
"What has to do with me?" This sentence without a beginning or an end Hua An immediately jumped up and asked, "I want to become an immortal in the future!" How could I have something to do with Chu Zhongci! ”
Seeing her so excited, Hua Du didn't say anything, but the corners of her lips hooked a small arc, as if she was smiling.
Hua An was so laughed by her that she didn't dare to say a word.
"What I asked for was not what I wanted. It's just that this imperial power is dangerous and the battle is cruel, I don't know when the prince will attack Ning Wangfu. If I make a mistake here, the Ningwang Mansion and even the court will stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and the city will be full of wind and rain, but it will be difficult to recover the water. Chu Yan stood up and looked at the scenery outside, "You and Wen Tang grew up together, you should know Wen Tang's temperament." She's not the kind of person who makes things difficult for people, and if she asks me, she must be at the end of her rope. Patting her hand on the railing, looking at the clear water of the lake, she said with a straight face, "A gentleman values benevolence and righteousness, and if it really comes to that point, I can't take any risks." ”
Bai Qian knelt down on the ground with emotion, and said with tears in his eyes: "I have been with the county lord in the mansion for a long time these days, and the slave and maid know that the county lord is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and before leaving, the master asked the slave and maid to say a word, saying that it was a last resort, but the slave and maid have not been willing to believe that things have come to this point......"
"What is she going to tell me?" Chu Yan held on to the railing and looked back at Bai Qi.
"She said: 'Abandoning the car to protect the handsome is also a gentleman. If you really do your best, ask Tang will never be involved. Bai Qian said sincerely, "The master has a deep relationship with the county lord, and often blames himself for not having the ability to help the county lord and drag the county lord down in the end." The master is going to come to Chang'an sooner or later, but she doesn't know how dangerous the situation is, she is afraid that she will encounter obstacles on the way to Chang'an, so she asks the slave to tell the county lord this sentence! ”
Chu Yan was even more sad in his heart. This feeling of powerlessness filled her eyes with sadness.
Hua Du, who was standing next to the rockery, frowned without a trace, and said to Hua An: "Wen Tang knows that it is dangerous and wants to come to the troubled waters, I have the heart to help her, but I can't even see her now." Why is she so persistent! Do you have to lose your life in a river of blood? ”
Hua An was uncomfortable with her angry and worried eyes, lowered her head and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her bag, and muttered: "What if you count the way of heaven and spy on the future, and even lose your own life?" Aren't you an idiot yourself, and you blame my cousin for being stupid...... You're really husband and wife. ”
"What did you say?" Hua Du held the umbrella, the sun sprinkled on the land and the umbrella surface around the umbrella, and she looked at Hua Shore suspiciously.
"I didn't say anything, I just said that asking Tang to teach Bai Qian to tell Chu Zhongci this, Chu Zhongci, who loves face and boasts that he is a righteous gentleman every day, will definitely feel more guilty about asking Tang. In the future, if Tang really wants to do something, Zhong Ci will definitely stand on her side...... This asked Cousin Tang inadvertently put you together. You see that if you want to instigate Chu Zhongci to do something against Cousin Tang's wishes in the future, it will be difficult again. Hua An smiled and said proudly, "I said Hua everyone, if you really can't do it, just arrest Hua Wentang and put her in prison, by the way, she won't experience a catastrophe if she can't run out, and if she can't go through the catastrophe, she will definitely not die or be injured, and Chu Zhongci will not be able to be killed or injured with her, and it will save you from being a bad guy inside and out." ”
"......" Hua Du suddenly stared at Hua An.
Hua An was furious by her strange eyes, shrunk her neck, and said stiffly, "What do you want to do?" I'm just talking, and I'm not asking you to really ......" She realized that something was wrong, and when Huadu turned her head and continued to look at the Huxin Pavilion, she suddenly thought of a possibility, "You won't ...... Are you really going to kidnap and ask Tang? ”
The carriage grunted on the road for more than half a month, the car was bumpy and bumpy, and Hua Xun, who rarely went out, couldn't stand the toss all the way, his face was slightly blue, and the whole person was sorrowful, leaning on the lily of the valley in his arms, tightly closing his eyes and silently enduring the pain. Gu Shangru, who was sitting opposite her, looked at her worriedly several times, and couldn't help but pull the curtain of the car, and shouted to the coachman outside: "What village is nearby?" Let's take a day off today, Miss Cousin is not feeling well and needs to rest. ”
"If you go back to Gongzi, there are no villages around here, but if you speed it up, you can go into the city to rest after dark."
The coachman has been to Chang'an and is familiar with this place. Gu Shangru is in a dilemma, if he speeds up, it will be even more uncomfortable, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it, if he doesn't speed up, he can't enter the city before dark, so he can only sleep in the wilderness.
Hua Xun raised his eyelids, opened and closed his white lips weakly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shangru, it's okay for me, let him hurry up." ”
"But you're so uncomfortable, won't you be able to stand it if you don't get it soon?" Gu Shangru looked at her hesitantly, his eyebrows lingering, and his face was full of confusion.
"It's okay, I can still hold on." Hua Xun smiled reluctantly, couldn't hold back and closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
