Chapter 571, life for life
Xian'er obviously didn't expect Shui Muqing to ask herself such a question, her eyes quickly raised to look at Shui Muqing, and then quickly retracted: "If Niang Niang wants to eat, the maid will do it." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
As he spoke, he was about to retreat and leave.
"Slim."
Shui Muqing seemed to be anxious for a while, and the exit called her.
Xian'er turned around, raised her eyes, and looked at Shui Muqing.
Inexplicably, Shui Muqing's eyes were filled with tears, but the corners of his mouth still tried his best to pull out a smile: "No, you can do something...... If you like to eat, it's fine. β
At the same time, Yi Ruo also appeared at the door of the front hall. looked at the two of them who were all standing, and didn't say much.
Xian'er glanced at Yi Ruo, and then replied softly: "Yes." β
He turned around without raising his head at all, and trotted towards the kitchen.
Yi Ruo's steps paused for a moment, and then walked into the hall, without the slightest discomfort, he sat down directly next to the main seat, looking at Shui Muqing, who was still standing at the table and looking down at the dishes, and his voice was calm and calm: "Sit down." β
When there is no one else, it is indeed true, and it is easy to have the identity of a master.
"Yi Ruo, I haven't eaten these dishes in a long time."
The smile on Shui Muqing's face has never diminished, one raised his head, pointed to the braised fish closest to him, and the ease and joy in his words were like a child.
"Then you will eat more today." Yi Ruo only glanced at Shui Muqing, then immediately retracted his gaze and looked at the dishes on the table, his voice was still flat.
"But what about that kid...... As if talking to herself, Shui Muqing slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, then supported her chin with her hand, her eyes were still looking at the dishes on the table, and she muttered.
"What?"
Yi Ruo didn't listen to Qing Shui Muqing's words, he stared and asked in doubt.
The next moment, Shui Muqing's voice had changed tone, with a hint of muffled timbre, turned his face, and looked at Yi Ruo on his left: "Xian'er...... She will ...... later I can't eat these anymore......" At the end, a weak and helpless smile rose with the water in her eyes.
Yi Ruo's eyes instantly slid through a trace of fluctuation, and he was silent, and did not continue to speak.
As if he didn't intend to hear her answer from Yi Ruo's mouth, Shui Muqing regained his head and looked at the steaming dish in front of him: "That kid ...... It's really good......"
"You're thinking too much."
In the end, he couldn't hold back the mood in his heart, Yi Ruo opened his mouth, and a sentence interrupted Shui Muqing's thoughts.
The smile on his face suddenly dissipated, Shui Muqing was silent for a long time and didn't speak again, watching the heat of the dish gradually drift away, and gradually lost his mind.
After another half of effort, Xian'er came to the front hall with a large white porcelain bowl, and the bowl was steaming hot, and the aroma was extremely strong.
Putting down the vegetable soup in her hand, Xian'er's face looked extremely normal: "Niangniang, the barley and red date cake have just been steamed, it will take a while to get better, and the slave will bring the rice first." β
After saying a word, Xian'er bowed obediently, turned around and walked out again.
The new vegetable soup is steaming hot, and the fragrance is bursting, even though it is some home-cooked side dishes, but it is very comfortable to look at.
Shui Muqing's eyes fell on the hundred vegetable soup, and he was out of his mind for a long time, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes were condensed, his body turned sharply, and his tone was extremely heavy: "I don't want to leave the palace!" β
In an instant, Yi Ruo, who had been hanging his eyes, raised his head suddenly, looked at the woman beside him with sharp eyes, and did not speak immediately.
"I'm not out of the palace, today's plan is canceled, don't let that child suffer, don't, don't want it all!"
As if to affirm what he was thinking, Shui Muqing's hand grabbed Yi Ruo's arm, with great strength, and his tone was extremely eager.
"Yi Ruo, I don't have to leave the palace. Don't worry, I won't do anything, I won't, I won't...... Is it okay to cancel the plan? Cancel, right? Shui Muqing's words were obviously a little confused, his eyes were full of eagerness, and his breathing became rapid.
Yi Ruo didn't have the slightest fluctuation, looking at the woman's eager appearance, her expression became more and more indifferent, until Shui Muqing's voice gradually stopped and dissipated.
Yi Ruo's eyes froze with heavy light, and met Shui Muqing's eyes flashing with tears: "Shui Muqing, are you crazy?" β
Shortness of breath and panting, Shui Muqing's hand clasped Yi Ruo's arm tightly, and finally began to tremble because of excessive force: "I...... I...... I don't want to hurt anyone......"
Pulling her eyes away, Yi Ruo's eyes lowered slightly to look at Shui Muqing's hand, and then she broke free with all her strength, her expression was all her indifference in the past: "Impossible." β
"Easy to ...... Please......"
"Shui Muqing, there are only two roads in front of you now."
"One, tonight's plan is implemented, you leave the palace and leave Kyoto."
"Two, the plan is canceled, and you stay in the palace."
"In less than three days, you will die on this temple of three waters."
Yi Ruo's voice became colder and colder, but the chill that burst out of his eyes was scorching.
Die on this temple of three waters.
The seven words, like a magic spell, echoed in Shui Muqing's mind over and over again. made her body tremble instantly.
There seemed to be a hint of ridicule in his words, and Yi Ruo's voice fell again: "Aren't you kind-hearted?" Then stay, and exchange your life for Xian'er's life. β
The trembling hand slowly hung down, and Shui Muqing still wanted to say something, but in the end, it gradually fell silent.
Yes, she wants to save Xian'er, but if she wants to use her life...... In her heart, she still hesitated.
The sound of Xian'er's footsteps rang out again, and this time, she walked in with a steaming cage drawer.
"Niangniang, the barley and red date cake are ready. I don't know if you like it or not? β
Xian'er's expression was never unusual, but there were a lot of shallow smiles. As he spoke, he opened the first layer of the cage, and the heat instantly rose even more intensely.
In an instant, the heat drifted to Shui Muqing's eyes, blurring his vision.
Shui Muqing didn't speak for a long time, his eyes looked at the pastries in the cage drawer in a hot air, and there was an indescribable cramping pain in his heart.
"Xian'er, sit down."
Seeing that Shui Muqing hadn't spoken, Yi Ruo raised his eyes and whispered to Xian'er.
Xian'er obviously still had a hint of restraint, and when she heard Yi Ruo's words, she shook her head with a shy smile, signaling that she could just stand aside.
"It's okay, Niang Niang is right. Have a seat. Yi Ruo understood Xian'er's thoughts very well, and a sentence in her words made Xian'er dispel her worries.
Xian'er bent down slightly, and carefully sat down beside Yi Ruo, with a slightly nervous look on her face.
