37. The past

Yan Qiu didn't expect that Zhao Jin would be able to bring back a woman in the time he went out, and this woman was still good-looking. But the most important thing is not this, but Zhao Jin returned to the house as if nothing happened, without mentioning a word to Yan Qiu.

"Where is Your Highness now?" Yan Qiu sat in front of the bed, her face was clouded, so that Cai Wei couldn't really see her expression.

I don't know if my master is okay, although His Royal Highness's identity, three wives and four concubines are indispensable, but judging from the master's stickiness to His Highness these days, the master is afraid that he is very uncomfortable.

Also, no woman would be indifferent when she saw her husband with the woman next to her. Besides, the master's friendship with His Royal Highness, they can all be seen by those who serve.

Cai Wei's heart turned, but her face was not inconspicuous. She said respectfully: "It should be at His Royal Highness King You." "Although the subordinates are not allowed to listen to the whereabouts of the master, but just now Xu Lu personally came to pass the word, and Cai Wei also knew where Zhao Jin went.

"Let's go get ready for dinner! His Highness didn't think he would stay long. Yan Qiu put down the needle and thread, looked at the jade belt that was about to be completed in his hand, and sighed in his heart. Hearing Cai Wei's words, she didn't really feel a little bit. But this era is like this, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the noble Zhao Jin.

"Yes" Seeing that Yan Qiu didn't ask any more, but asked her to prepare dinner, Cai Wei was stunned for a while, but she didn't ask again, and went out after curtsimming.

After Cai Wei went out, Yan Qiu gently closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired.

It turns out that love can really make people's IQ lower, and when she first entered the Ji Palace, she kept telling herself not to leave her heart on the King of Ji. But...... In the end, she still didn't make it.

Yan Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, in fact, he didn't blame her, Zhao Jin was really difficult to be distracted by this. Although he is emotionally dull, he treats her well. And he is rich and jade, with a noble status, which satisfies all women's fantasies about the other half.

She is also confused these days, and she is stupid all day long, so she revolves around Zhao Jin. But...... In the end, she didn't hear him say it in person, and she still didn't give up.

Yan Qiu glanced at the jade belt in his hand and lowered his eyes. Suddenly, she got up and strode out, His Highness has not come back yet, and thinking about it will make her even more disturbed, it is better to go to the kitchen to have a look, at least she can find something to prevent herself from thinking nonsense.

********

It was already mid-autumn, and it was getting dark earlier and earlier, and Yan Qiu was walking in the dark night with a lantern, and his heart was a little confused. It's so late, and he hasn't come back yet, is it because of that woman?

She had already accused herself of not thinking too much, but all kinds of possibilities played out in her mind, and her feelings became more and more dull.

"Your Highness, it seems that Miss Yan is ...... in front" Xu Lu carried a lantern and walked beside Zhao Jin, and when he saw someone walking slowly in the distance, he whispered a reminder in Zhao Jin's ear.

Hearing the three words of Miss Yan, Zhao Jin came back to his senses from his contemplation. He paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "Let's go!" ”

The wind in the night was a little cool, rolling up the hem of Yan Qiu's clothes, making her already thin even more weak. A green shirt is not visible in the dark night, but under the light of the lantern, it looks very deserted.

"Your Highness" Zhao Jin heard Yan Qiu stop under a tree, different from the glutinous voice in the past, this time her voice was a little erratic.

"En" Zhao Jin responded in a low voice, strode over, grabbed Yan Qiu's cold hands, and said in a slightly reprimanded voice: "What are you doing when you come out so late?" ”

Zhao Jin had already prepared for her to be petty, and even thought about how to make her obedient. But tonight she was different. She replied softly and explained: "Seeing that His Highness has not come back for a long time, the concubine was a little worried, so she came out to greet her. ”

She followed Zhao Jin softly, that is, she was not coquettish, nor did she look aggrieved. Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked with a cold face: "What happened?" ”

What's going on, she's so weird today.

"Your Highness......" Yan Qiu couldn't say anything as soon as she started, how should she answer? Is it a direct question? She is not such a person, and she can't do it.

Zhao Jin rubbed her thin hands in her hands, and her voice seemed very attractive in the silent night. "But it doesn't hurt to say it."

When Yan Qiu heard this, he stopped, looked at Zhao Jin without blinking, and said after a long time: "Come back so late, Your Highness must be tired, let's go back and have dinner first!" ”

When it came to the moment, she didn't know how to speak. Should she question, or should she look heartbroken? Yan Qiu shook her head, these were not her style.

Zhao Jin's eyes were dark, he glanced at Yan Qiu fixedly, did not speak, but went to Ningyuan Courtyard.

Ningyuan Courtyard is Zhao Jin's residence in Youwang's Mansion, just listening to this name, you can imagine the elegance of Ningyuan Courtyard.

After Cai Wei put the meal on the table, she saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so she went out very interestingly, leaving space for the two of them.

"Let's eat!" Zhao Jin glanced at Yan Qiu and said. She didn't eat at all night, and with her gluttonous nature, she was afraid that she would have been hungry for a long time.

At this time, Zhao Jin thought of Yan Qiu's coquettish appearance to him, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a touch of tenderness.

Yan Qiu had been paying attention to Zhao Jin's expression, and seeing that he was actually sitting in front of her, and showing such a gentle look, he could really vomit to death. At the same time, it turned out that she was sulking alone from beginning to end, and he didn't know it at all.

Thinking about her, she couldn't help but feel very tired, although she knew that Zhao Jin didn't understand women, she was still depressed. In the past, she thought Zhao Jin was so dull and very cute, but now she only feels tired.

Glancing at Zhao Jin, Yan Qiu finally sighed, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, although the taste was the same as chewing wax.

After eating, Zhao Jin asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? He propped one hand on his forehead, and his tone was tired.

For some reason, seeing Zhao Jin like this, Yan Qiu didn't want to ask. Her heart softened, he was so tired, but she was thinking nonsense here.

"I'll rub it for Your Highness!" Yan Qiu got up and stood behind Zhao Jin, stretched out his white hand, and gently pressed it on Zhao Jin's head. "Why is Your Highness so tired?"

"Nothing." Zhao Jin closed his eyes and leaned on Yan Qiu.

When Yan Qiu heard this, he was not reluctant. Zhao Jin looked extremely tired, presumably he had encountered something annoying. As for the girl...... It may be for a reason.

She just stood still, not moving. The movements in his hands never stopped, and the candle flame jumped, pulling the shadows of the two of them for a long time.

"Your Highness, let's go to bed and rest!" Although he couldn't bear to disturb Zhao Jin, it was not a matter to sit like this.

Zhao Jin didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, pulled the hand off his head, and held it gently. looked extremely tired, so Yan Qiu didn't mention anything else after all.

"What's bothering Your Highness? Tell me about it. Yan Qiu sat on the couch and let Zhao Jin lean more comfortably.

Zhao Jin opened his eyes and pulled Yan Qiu, buried his head in Yan Qiu's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I always knew that he was ruthless, but I didn't know that he would be ruthless to this point......"

Yan Qiu patted Zhao Jin lightly on the back, silently comforting.

"Do you know how I got poisoned by the vulture?" Zhao Jin said lightly. "It's Liang, Liang sent me a bowl of soup. He knew what he knew, but he never cared about the life and death of our brother, and he only had the son of the Liang family in his eyes. Zhao Jin said alone.

No matter how depressed I was in my heart and how painful I was in the past, now I always have less thrilling when I mentioned it.

Yan Qiu didn't expect Zhao Jin to talk to her about this, after all, it was a royal secret, not to mention that it was still his scar. But she also knew that Zhao Jin, who looked cold and cruel, would have experienced this, and it was no wonder that his temperament was like this.

"When I was young, Zhao Yu broke Liang's vase, but it was me who was punished, and they said I didn't know how to protect my brother." Zhao Jin kept lying on Yan Qiu's shoulder and never raised his head.

"So I was starved for three days." When Zhao Jin talks about it now, he realizes that he can already mention it calmly, and he no longer has the grievances and anger in his heart. It's as if you haven't experienced it yourself.

"Your Highness......" Yan Qiu called softly in a hoarse voice, although she didn't understand why Zhao Jin suddenly mentioned the past, but his experience made her feel distressed.

Zhao Jin held her hand tightly, preventing her from continuing. He continued to confide alone: "If it weren't for the royal brother protecting me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to grow up safely." ”

"I didn't know why the Liang clan was more vicious to me before, but now I finally understand." He didn't call himself the king anymore, and at this time Yan Qiu felt that they were extremely close.

"Today, I met a woman with my royal brother." Zhao Jin mentioned the woman lightly, but Yan Qiu didn't make any extra moves, just listened carefully. Because after what he had just said, she knew that he must have a reason.
