Chapter 107: Embroidered Heart
"Good and dignified, why did she kill Yang Lie?" Yu Wenrui muttered, his eyes red.
"Maybe there's something going on." Chai Qi said.
Yu Wenrui's eyes were bright, and he gritted his teeth and said to Chai Qi: "She...... When is it not ...... Painful? ”
Chai Qi's eyelids jumped, "When I snatched her out, she was covered in blood. ”
Yu Wenrui's nose was sour, and he blinked his eyes vigorously to prevent tears from coming out of his eyes.
She was silent, and Chai Qi accompanied her silently.
After a while, Yu Wenrui said in an astringent voice: "Thank you, Senior Sister Chai!" ”
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for snatching Sister Bachi out. Although she ...... But you snatched her out so that she wouldn't stay in Beizheng and be humiliated......"
Chai Qi knew in his heart: The so-called 'Shi can be killed but not humiliated', and the corpse or something left in Beizheng must not be shown to the public? It's a shame.
Her eyes slipped to the "non-attacking" sword that was thrown aside by Yu Wenrui, and said in her heart, "Little junior sister, don't you deserve to thank me the most, isn't it my sister that I took the risk to retrieve this for you?"
Yu Wenrui didn't know what Chai Qi was thinking, she asked Chai Qi with red eyes: "Little Eighth Sister...... Do you have anything to say? ”
Chai Qi suddenly shook his head for a moment and said, "No." ”
Yu Wenrui is even more sad, which means that when Senior Sister Chai snatched out the little eighth sister, she was already ...... No more.
"Where is she buried? I'm going to see her! ”
Chai Qi raised his eyebrows, "There is a chance." ”
Yu Wenrui curled up, hanging his head and staring at the tips of the dragon pattern boots on his feet, "I thought I would still see her...... She is such a proud person, she will definitely come to me again and let me kill her to avenge the first emperor. I don't even know what I'm going to do one day...... How could she just go? I don't want her to die! ”
Chai Qi frowned secretly when he heard this.
"Senior Sister Chai," Yu Wenrui said to Chai Qi with tears in his eyes, "The revenge of the first emperor, I can't get revenge, I can't live with my sister-in-law, and I lost my eighth sister, I ......"
Chai Qi sighed silently, stretched his arms and hugged her into his arms, "Little junior sister, most of the things in this world are helpless. Don't be embarrassed for yourself, wouldn't it be nice to be your emperor obediently? ”
Yu Wenrui sniffled, calmed down, and then said, "What happened in Yang Lie's dormitory last night?" ”
Chai Qi then told Yu Wenrui everything he saw and heard at that time.
"So, Little Eighth Sister was not instructed to kill Yang Lie?"
Chai Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know if someone instructed me, but she was indeed the only one in the dormitory at that time. If someone is premeditated, according to common sense, it should be safe to send a few more people. ”
Yu Wenrui bit her lip, she couldn't know why Yang Min was stabbing after all.
"Senior sister, do you know that not long after Yang Lie's death, Zhan Teng led his troops into the Beizheng harem and protected the East Palace?"
"I don't know that. For more than a dozen hours, I hurried to ...... After burying the girl, I came to you in a hurry. ”
Yu Wenrui's eyes crossed with gratitude: "Senior sister is really hard! ”
Chai Qi looked away unnaturally, as if he was ashamed to make eye contact with her.
Yu Wenrui didn't take it to heart, "Senior sister, don't you think this Zhan Teng is overreacting?" Even if he is the general of Beizheng, it is his duty to protect the country and protect the people, and Guozuo inherits his own clan and royal family to worry about, how can he be a foreign minister in charge? Or, what selfish motives did he have? Or what did he do with Yang Lie? ”
Chai Qi said: "I don't know about the affairs of the government, but I know that the father and son of the Zhan family are skilled in bows and horses, and they are strong in martial arts. ”
When Yu Wenrui heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly: "In the early dynasty, the ministers said that Zhan Yu had few opponents in Beizheng, but I wanted to see his ability!" ”
Chai Qi was afraid that she would be in danger, so he shook his head and said: "It's just a small subordinate's son, you have so many good generals and talents, leave it to them to clean up." ”
Yu Wenrui is a young man, although he endures it on his face, he secretly has enough strength in his heart.
"The sword has been handed over to you, and I'm leaving."
Chai Qi said that he got up to leave, but was pulled by Yu Wenrui.
"Seeing that the New Year is coming, senior sister, don't be in a hurry to leave, it will be lively in the palace, let's leave after the New Year!"
Chai Qi looked at the little junior sister's earnest look and smiled lightly, "What's so lively in the palace?" I am cheating, intrigue, nine out of ten stops are false......"
Seeing the disappointment in the eyes of the little junior sister, Chai Qi smiled again: "You only said that your palace is lively? My Xuanyuan Gate is also very lively during the New Year's Festival, and this year is my first head, and I will have to go back. ”
Yuwen Ruiqi said: "Master passed on the position of head to you, senior sister?" ”
Chai Qi blinked, "It's not from the master, it's from our senior sister Yan Wunian." ”
Yu Wenrui was also speechless. Their master is also a talented person, so in order to be able to hide, he created an identity of "Yan Wunian".
"Senior Sister Chai doesn't blame Master?" Senior Sister Chai can easily tease the master now, and I think that knot in my heart is also looser, right?
Chai Qi smiled bitterly: "Master, her old man is a person who has become an immortal, and it is better not to want to." ”
Yuwen Rui understood. To be able to "not want to" means that you have already begun to let go. If you really care about a person, you never want to "don't want to" to be able to "don't want to", thinking is something that will be born involuntarily. Just like she is to Jing Yan, or people, things or things, she can always evoke her thoughts and concerns about Jing Yan in different ways, even if they see each other every day.
She couldn't think about Jing Yan, so she couldn't let go of Jing Yan.
Looking at Chai Qi's snow-colored back, in the cold night, Yu Wenrui actually felt more free and easy than when he first saw her, how could such a senior sister like the rules and stylization in the palace?
Yu Wenrui then asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time-
"Senior sister doesn't want to restore her identity? That's your right, after all, you have the blood of the Yuwen clan in your veins......"
Chai Qi shook his head and interrupted her: "Little junior sister, I understand your kindness." But what kind of clan status, what royal bloodline, for me, it doesn't matter. Master picked me up next to the firewood stack of a village and gave me the word 'chai' as his surname, and then found out my background and chose a name for me, and that was enough. It doesn't matter to me who is the emperor in this world, who wins and who loses, who becomes the king and who loses. I will do my best to help you, because you are my junior sister, and I like you very much, not because you are the emperor of the Great Zhou, or because I should have the surname Yuwen. ”
"Senior Sister ......"
"That's it! Don't talk about that. I'm leaving, take care of your life, don't forget Master's instructions! ”
"Senior sister is going back to Xuanyuan Gate?"
Chai Qi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he said slowly: "I'll go to King Yi's Mansion to have a look, and then go back to Xuanyuan Gate." ”
"Senior sister...... Missing Brother Dahuang? ”
Chai Qi exhaled a long breath: "After all, he is my own brother......"
She pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Little junior sister, Yiwang's mansion is very complicated......"
Yuwen Rui was awe-inspiring: "Senior sister is talking about Brother Dahuang, he ......"
"It's not him...... I think he was also helpless. ”
Shi Ran deserves to be a master of Xinglin, after his decoction treatment, although Jing Yan's illness has not gone to the root, but it has indeed been alleviated a lot, not to mention that she is not bedridden, she finally found some of her own spirit that once belonged to health, which made her very happy.
It's cold and snowy outside, and she doesn't take a step out of Kuntai Palace according to Shi Ran's doctor's advice, but inside the palace, she can always do what she likes, right?
"Master, rest! Beware of tired eyes. Shi Mo took the freshly fried decoction, served Jing Yan to drink it, and leaned a big pillow behind Jing Yan to make her more comfortable.
Jing Yan wiped off the medicine stains on the corners of his lips, and ate two brown sugar dates with a smile in his eyes, "Since I was sick, this purse fell after half of the embroidery, and the mourning family looked at the one that the emperor was carrying with him was old." ”
Shi Mo said with a smile: "If you want to say that our majesty is really careful with the master, the former Lord Shi just said that the crystal cake is not easy to digest, for fear of hurting the spleen and stomach, His Majesty sent this brown sugar date, and said that brown sugar and jujube are all blood and qi, which is good for your body." ”
Jing Yanwaner: "It's hard for her to be so careful." ”
"Hehe, master, you are also very meticulous to Your Majesty! Looking at the embroidery of this purse, there is almost no trace of stitches. ”
Jing Yan's slender jade-white fingers involuntarily rubbed the bright yellow material of the purse, "Her personal materials must always be used comfortably, and the mourning family is steady." ”
Shi Mo suddenly realized something: "Huh? It's strange today, it's this hour, why didn't His Majesty come to our palace? ”
The corners of Jing Yan's mouth hooked a shallow arc, and his voice was faint: "I think it's because of busy political affairs, right?" The emperor has grown up and is sensible, and he knows that it is a good thing to devote more attention to the affairs of the court. ”
Although she said this, a faint sense of loss welled up in her heart.
Habit is a terrible thing, especially getting used to a person's existence.
When she appears, she may be found to be disturbing and pure; But when she didn't appear, the purity that she should have been used to a long time ago made people feel restless, as if she couldn't feel at ease at every moment.
I thought to myself, why didn't she show up on time? Is she criticizing the folds or meeting the courtiers? Can you make it to dinner on time? In such a cold weather, can the people around her be careful?
Suddenly, Jing Yan was alert to the fact that he had actually clenched the bright yellow purse at some point, and the embroidery needle pinned to it was lightly pierced into his palm through the silky silk, like being stung on the tip of his heart by a bee.
Jing Yan stared at the tiny red dots in his palm stupidly, but fortunately the stab was not deep, and there was no bleeding, just a little hissing and itchy pain.
She sighed softly, rubbed her bright yellow purse again, and smoothed every fold in distress, as if she was calming the waves in her heart.
However, the folds are easy to flat, but the mood is difficult to flatten.
So by the light of the lamp, she picked up the embroidery needle, and pierced the tip of the needle with her own blood and body temperature into the purse again and again, saying that it was an embroidery pattern, more like sewing her heart with silk threads.
Maybe only in this way can she feel better.
