Chapter 108: Pain
"What time is it?"
"Master, it's time. Do you want to rest? β
Jing Yan shook his head, "Why hasn't Shi Mo come back yet?" β
How can it be so fast? The emperor's bedroom is far from Kuntai Palace, even if it is a fast journey, and it takes two quarters of an hour to go back and forth.
Bingbi slandered in his heart, but he also knew that the Queen Mother was anxious, and hurriedly comforted: "I think I'm coming back soon." Don't worry, master! β
I haven't seen Worry-Free for half a day, what is she doing? It's never been a long time since I've seen it.
The more Jing Yan thought about it, the more irritable she felt, and the stitches under her hands became more and more messy, so she simply put aside the purse and needlework in her hands.
The sound of hurried footsteps, wrapped in cool air, burst in through the open curtain.
"Master! The slave and maid have returned. "It's Shimo.
"Is the emperor resting?" Jing Yan asked anxiously.
Shi Mo was quite embarrassed, and said in a slur manner: "Slave maid...... The slave didn't see His Majesty xiΓ ......"
"The emperor is not in the palace?" Jing Yan propped himself up.
"Yes."
"Where did she go? What about the excerpts in Chongyang Palace? On such a cold day, it is the coldest in Chongyang Palace, and it is not a joke to freeze! β
Shi Mo was afraid that his master would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, master, Your Majesty is not in Chongyang Palace." β
Jing Yan frowned.
"When the slave and maid turned back, they met Shen Quan beside His Majesty, and he said that His Majesty was in Langhuan Pavilion all night."
"Lang Huan Pavilion?"
"Yes. Shen Quan said that His Majesty had been with the girl in white who had escorted him on the battlements back then, and it seemed that he had something important to discuss, and even he was sent away. β
Chai Qi?
What can worry-free and Chai Qi discuss in Langhuan Pavilion? Jing Yan thought to himself.
She is not Yu Wenrui, and she can't be unguarded against Chai Qi, not to mention that Chai Qi and the one in King Yi's Mansion still have that kind of relationship.
Since he found out about Shen Cheng, in the past few days, Jing Yan sent people to stare at what Shen Cheng had done, and secretly sent people to investigate, and the clues pointed directly to King Yi's mansion. Although she didn't dare to be very sure, she was able to conclude that the mysterious person who secretly met Shen Cheng and the Yi Wangfu were inseparable.
She is the queen mother, since Yuwen Rui ascended the throne, she is always vigilant and cautious, it can be said that she is trembling on thin ice, and the slightest difference may be overturned. Yes, Jing Yan is not as light as Yu Wenrui can believe in Chai Qi. The first thing she thought of was: If Chai Qi and Yi Wangfu really have any interests, it will be a great danger to Wuwu.
"The emperor is still talking to the girl in white in Langhuan Pavilion at this moment?"
"Shen Quan said that the girl in white is gone, but His Majesty is still there." Shi Mo replied truthfully.
Jing Yan was slightly angry: "What is she still doing there?" β
In the middle of the night, if you don't sleep in the palace honestly, what are you doing in that cold and remote place? Do you have to toss out of illness before you give up?
Jing Yan got up, "Go to Langhuan Pavilion!" β
Bingbi hurriedly stopped: "Master! It's snowy, and you're just ......."
Shimo also panicked: "The master is angry!" Shen Quan said that His Majesty was neither hungry nor frozen in Langhuan Pavilion, and ordered to take a big sweater, and Zhang Luo asked to prepare a meal......"
Jing Yan gritted his teeth: "What is she messing around again!" β
Shen Quan said, Her Majesty's original words, she wanted to be quiet.
Jing Yan Qi Knot: Quiet? She wants to be quiet? What happened, as for making her so disorganized that she had to hide?
What she was even more angry about was that the emperor would rather hide in that cold and remote place by himself than go to the Kuntai Palace to confide in him what he thought! Could it be that Kuntai Palace is some kind of sinister place? Or can't I hear her heartfelt words?
Jing Yan simply didn't care about that little enemy-
If you have something on your mind, don't you want to say it to the mourning family, do you still want to put a hot face on it? Is it okay to mourn the queen mother?
"It's all gone! The mourning family is going to rest! β
Bingbi and Shimo glanced at each other tacitly: The Queen Mother is here for Her Majesty not to come to serve the sick and angry?
It is said to be resting, but there is something in my heart, how can I sleep?
In the faint scent of soothing incense, Jing Yan tossed and turned back and forth more than a dozen times, without any sleep. She simply opened her eyes and stared blankly at the intricate patterns on the roof of the tent.
Even when it was time of rest, it was not completely dark in the Kuntai Palace. The yellow, warm candlelight leaked through the curtains, and the tassels on the tent cast graceful shadows. It's warm indoors. In this yellow like the warmth of the twilight spring sunset, Jing Yan didn't feel warm.
No, the body is warm, warm enough to wear only a gauzy bedgown.
However, the heart is lonely and cold.
She tossed and turned upside down and didn't know how many times before she fell asleep.
When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was. The dazzling light of the sun wheel is faintly visible.
Jing Yan didn't sleep peacefully, and the bones in his body were very stiff.
She got up, the brocade quilt piled under her chest.
"Bingbi? Serving ink? β
The answer to her was a curtain that had been stirred up. Against the sun, the figure of a girl in a five-clawed golden dragon robe covered her body. I couldn't see the expression on my face clearly, but Jing Yan intuitively felt that it was pure gentleness.
Hassle-free!
Jing Yan was shocked, and his first reaction was to grab the brocade quilt under his chest and pull it to his shoulder, covering the incomparably beautiful place in Yu Wenrui's eyes.
Yu Wenrui's stunning look at the beginning turned into a faint loss in an instant, but she smiled lightly in an instant: "Sister-in-law sleeps well? β
Jing Yan was slightly stunned, lowered his eyes and said angrily: "The emperor doesn't go to the early dynasty, what is he doing in Kuntai Palace?" β
Yuwen Rui flattened his mouth: "Sister-in-law doesn't look at what time it is?" The early dynasties are all scattered! β
As she spoke, she sat down next to Jing Yan with a smile: "Shi Aiqing's decoction has also been eaten, I will accompany my sister-in-law to eat delicious food." β
As soon as she gets close to her now, Jing Yan is nervous, especially since she is still so "untidy".
"You go out first...... The mourning family wants to change their clothes. β
Yu Wenrui was disgusted, very unwilling, and wanted to get tired of it, but was glared at by Jing Yan, so he had to retreat obediently.
It wasn't until the maid served Jing Yan to change clothes, clean her face, rinse her mouth, and comb her hair again that the two sat down face to face.
Yu Wenrui struck with both palms like offering treasures, and the maid rushed in and filled the various meals.
"Sister-in-law's health is just right, worry-free only let the imperial kitchen make a few snacks, sister-in-law taste?" Yu Wenrui said, grinning.
Jing Yan shook his head slightly, and immediately scolded himself: It must be that the sun is too warm, and it is carefree and long...... It's so beautiful.
She then looked down at the food on this table, which is still "a little"?
"How much can the mourning family eat? The rest is wasted, isn't it a tyrannical thing? β
Yu Wenrui just thought that she was good-looking, and nodded like pounded garlic: "What my sister-in-law said is, change it next time, change it next time." β
Jing Yan raised her eyes and glanced at her face, there seemed to be no tired look between her eyebrows, and her heart was a little more steady, but she didn't want to erase last night's incident.
"The emperor didn't go back to the palace last night?"
"Well, here in Langhuan Pavilion."
Jing Yan waited for the following, but only waited for a sentence: "Sister-in-law is hungry, right?" β
There was something in her heart, Jing Yan had no appetite, she looked at Yu Wenrui quietly.
Yu Wenrui was furious by her.
Jing Yan said coolly: "The emperor saw Miss Chai yesterday? β
Yu Wenrui was stunned for a while, and his mood that was just better because of the face to face with his beloved instantly fell to the bottom again.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat first."
Jing Yan didn't like her to hide something from herself, and said bluntly: "What happened that the emperor didn't go back to the palace at night and stayed in Langhuan Pavilion?" β
Yu Wenrui was not sluggish, he had already noticed that her expression was different, so he had to say: "I wanted to wait for my sister-in-law to eat......
"What the hell is going on?"
"Yang Lie is...... Little Eight Sister killed. Yu Wenrui was depressed.
Jing Yan was startled, and several possibilities quickly swirled in his mind, but he saw Yu Wenrui's painful expression.
"Little Eighth Sister was surrounded by Yang Lie's guards...... Seriously injured...... Gone"
Whenβ
Hearing the sentence "go", the silver chopsticks in Jing Yan's hand fell to the ground.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Yu Wenrui was frightened and hurriedly held on.
Jing Yan nudged her away, gritted his teeth and said, "How do you know?" β
"Senior Sister Chai sued me last night."
Jing Yan's heart raised in his throat, "How did she know?" β
"Senior Sister Chai was ordered by the master to go to Beizheng to retrieve this ......," Yu Wenrui said and called Shen Quan.
Shen Quan held a long box. Yu Wenrui opened the box and took out a long object.
Jing Yan stared at the thing in disbelief, and the muscles on his face trembled from excessive tension.
"Senior Sister Chai is here to get this." Yu Wenrui said, holding a simple long sword in front of Jing Yan.
Jing Yansu's hand trembled and pressed on the scabbard, with a slight force, brushing the two seals on it - non-attack.
Yes, that's it.
It was it that accompanied the high-spirited man to the battlefield.
But when he returned, the man was gone, and the sword was gone.
That man, who had been with him when his mother died when he was young and was most helpless, coaxed himself in different ways; That person once did not hesitate to turn against his biological mother in order to marry him; The man said that he would give himself stability for the rest of his life; That man said that he wanted to lay down a rule for himself.
Suddenly, all kinds of past things poured into Jing Yan's brain, making her sitting body shake unbearably.
However, she finally clenched the scabbard, and even though her palm was in pain, she would not let go of it.
"Sister-in-law......" Although she had long expected the reaction that her sister-in-law might have, when she really saw it, Yu Wenrui's heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
Jing Yan twisted his neck stiffly, his eyes were red, I don't know if his eyes were red because of sadness, or his eyes were bloodshot because of grief and anger.
Such a Jing Yan, Yu Wenrui felt unfamiliar, and an inexplicable panic permeated her, occupying her heart.
"You just said that the man really ...... He's dead? Jing Yan said almost word by word.
Yu Wenrui naturally knew who "that person" was, her nose was sore, her heart was sad, she bit her lip, and squeezed out a "um" word.
Jing Yan laughed suddenly, laughing desolately, laughing helplessly.
Her cherry lips opened slightly, and only one word popped out, but it hurt Yu Wenrui's heart-
"Good!"
