Chapter 16: Chasing the Wind
Fu San'er walked over with a smile on her face, and was thinking about asking her aunt what she wanted, when Mei Rui's face fell, and she looked at him with her legs crossed: "Father-in-law Fu, you didn't make an appointment with Huaizhu to wait by the Taiye Pool that day, right?" ”
The smile on her face froze, and Fu San'er screamed in her heart that it was not good, so she could only change to a wry smile and clench her fists and say to her: "Auntie, don't say it, the villain was also helpless at that time, and he couldn't tell you that the Lord Protector was on the island, right?" ”
He looked at Mei Rui resentfully: "You still mention this, the villain is about to be frightened by you, let you wait on the shore, and then put the river lantern and leave, you will never encounter so many things again." Who knew you were going inside, haven't you heard of the water ghosts in the Taiye Pool? Aren't you afraid to go deeper into it and meet those water ghosts? ”
Later, when she really met the water ghost, Mei Rui remembered the scene when she met Lu Zhi at that time, and her expression was a little abrupt, she didn't take this matter to heart, so she revealed it like this, but Fu San'er couldn't stop it, and said it like a soybean: "You are lucky, you got an eye in front of your majesty's eyes, and the adults feel sorry for your majesty, so I didn't do anything for you, if you were someone else, you would probably have been thrown into the palace people a long time ago." ”
He was there with a sad face, as if she was more worried than herself, and Mei Rui was amused by him, and covered her lips and smiled: "But if it weren't for the errand in front of the emperor, I don't think I would have encountered these things that would be thrown into the palace." ”
Fu San'er was speechless, scratched his head and said, "What you said is also right, but do you think it's not good to be in front of the emperor?" ”
Mei Rui naturally didn't think it was good, but these thoughts could be said to Huaizhu, but she couldn't say it to others, and her smile faded: "The royal front is very good, but the companion is like a tiger, so I have to be cautious." ”
But where is the current tiger the little emperor, it is clearly Lu Zhi, he eats people without blinking, and he doesn't even vomit bones, Fu San'er is the person who has been following Lu Zhi, his eyesight has been trained early in the morning, and Mei Rui's hidden reluctance has been seen by him. In fact, he couldn't figure out the meaning of his own protectors, but he felt that the guards were always a little different from others compared to her, maybe it was for the emperor's face, and maybe it was because of something else.
That other, Fu San'er didn't dare to think about it, the protector was a fairy figure in his heart, how could he be involved with love, just thinking about Fu San'er felt that the sky was falling apart, he hurriedly shook his head, threw away the thoughts in his head, and said to Mei Rui: "Wealth and danger are sought, the villain looks at you, you can do it!" ”
"Then thank Gonggong for his false praise?" Mei Rui looked at him, Fu San'er touched his head and smiled: "Where are you, it's just that you remember not to splash tea on the adult again, you didn't see the injury on the adult's leg," his eyebrows twisted, "Hey, it hurts to look at it!" ”
Mei Rui was shocked when he said this, and guilt flooded her heart, grabbing him and asking, "What is the injury?" Does it matter? ”
Fu San'er raised his eyebrows: "The piece on the leg is hot and blistered, and the villain is watching from the side when the imperial doctor gives medicine to the adult, and the imperial doctor's hands are trembling, but the big head and brows are not wrinkled." He felt that his own protector was really powerful, and he boasted for a while, and then found that he was too forgetful, and coughed with his fists, and said regretfully, "I just don't know if it will leave a scar, and adults don't like to have scars on their bodies the most." ”
Isn't it good for a man to have some scars, Mei Rui remembered watching Zhao Chun practice swords in Zhao Mansion before, and he had a few scars on his body, some of which were naughty when he was a child and fell from the rockery, and some of them were caused by fights with his peers, Zhao Chun was very proud when he talked about these with her, like those scars were honorable. But she almost forgot that she couldn't use common sense to talk to Lu Zhi, the most important thing at the moment was Lu Zhen's injury, in the final analysis, it was because of her, she hesitated for a moment before asking: "Where is the protector now?" ”
Fu San'er replied casually: "Taichang Temple still has some things waiting for adults to deal with, I think it's in the study." ”
Mei Rui stood up suddenly, and blessed Fu San'er: "Father-in-law Lao Fu will take me to the study." ”
"What are you doing in the study?" Fu San'er was a little puzzled, "Although the villain doesn't know why the adults want to bring you out, but now the palace gate has been keyed, and you can't get in, the adults have ordered you to temporarily rest in the mansion for one night, and enter the palace with the adults tomorrow." ”
She shook her head violently: "This can't be done, lonely men and widows, how can you rest here?" ”
Fu San'er burst out laughing: "What are you worried about, can anyone in this mansion do anything to you?" ”
Mei Rui's ears turned red in an instant, after all, she was still an untrained girl, where could she hear this, she was silent for a while, Fu San'er knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly raised her hand to slap her mouth: "Look at the villain's mouth, what are you talking about, it dirties your ears, don't take it to heart." ”
She waved her hand very kindly: "I'm just going to send a medicine to the guards, this medicine is better to use early, it is much more effective than the imperial doctor's prescription, Gonggong Lao Fu will take me on a trip, and I will give the medicine to the guards." ”
"What kind of medicine is better than the imperial doctor's prescription?" Fu San'er was surprised, Mei Rui took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Fu San'er, Fu San'er looked at it for a while, rolled her eyes, and patted her head: "That's good, it's good that the villain will go to the study for you to give it to the guards, so that you don't have to run more, rest early, and you will get up earlier than you are in the palace tomorrow." ”
Mei Rui was dumbfounded, this is indeed a good way, but she always felt that something was wrong, why didn't she think of this earlier, and avoid abandoning these tongues again, she tightened the medicine bottle in her hand, and finally handed it to Fu San'er, and said with a smile: "Then there is Lao Fu's father-in-law." ”
"It's the villain's duty." Fu San'er put away the medicine bottle and glanced at the table, "Have you finished eating?" ”
Mei Rui nodded, she didn't eat too much on weekdays, Huaizhu always thought she ate less, and now she remembered the things beside her, and she couldn't eat too much, Fu San'er belched: "That's okay, the adult has already asked people to clean up the East Chamber, please come with the villain." ”
It was late at night, and I couldn't see the scenery of the Protector's Mansion clearly, only dark shadows from far and near, rockeries and flowers and trees. Under the corridor, there are eight exquisite landscape red gauze lamps, the cyan corridor pillars are illuminated with a warm light, Fu San'er walks in front, his waist leans forward slightly, it is the old problem of bowing his head on weekdays, and it has been carved into the bones for a long time, and he can't change it. But that person is different, his waist is straight like a green pine that is pulled out, and he would rather bend than bend.
Mei Rui pinched her cuffs, feeling that this huge Protector Mansion was really deserted, and she hadn't even seen a figure after walking for so long, so she asked Fu San'er: "Aren't there many people in the Protector Mansion?" ”
"Yes," Fu San'er didn't hide it, "Adults like to be quiet, and there will always be courtiers who will give your lordship a maid or something, I think this will impress my lord, hey!" Don't look at the adults who are confused by beauty, those beauties are really not beautiful, in the eyes of the villain, they can't be an adult's fingers. ”
He suddenly subconsciously covered his mouth, and after looking around, he turned around and scratched his head and said to Mei Rui: "The adult is the most disliked by others to talk about his appearance, the villain is saying that he has leaked his mouth, you can hide it for the villain, if the adult knows, he will not be punished." ”
Such a person, the stone is like jade, green like pine, but he hates to judge people by appearance, Mei Rui feels that he must be troubled by this side from time to time, there is a saying in ancient fashion to see the killing of Wei Jue, so it is not perverse to see Lu Zhi's likes and dislikes, she smiled: "Since the guards don't love beauties, where are the beauties who were sent to the mansion now?" ”
Speaking of this, Fu San'er shrunk his neck, and his low voice was particularly calm in the dim corridor: "Adults don't care much about it, and it's not a big deal to raise so many idle people." But where is the beauty, it is clear that the courtiers sent in the fine work, specially to monitor the adult, although the Protector Mansion is the mansion given to the adult when the first emperor was still there, but the adult is rare to come back on weekdays, once they conspired to poison the adult's diet......"
Mei Rui took a low breath: "What about later?" ”
"Later, fortunately, the adults were favored by God and escaped death, and from that time on, the adults' spleen and stomach were broken, and they ate less," Fu San'er was sad when he mentioned this incident, gritting his teeth and being angry, "Later, when the adults were cured, they chopped off the hands of those who poisoned them, put them in a box and sent them back to the original owner, and the next day when they went to court, the adults all took leave." He clenched his fists and exclaimed, "It's really a pleasure!" ”
It sounded like Lu Zhi had done it, Mei Rui only frowned, those people deserved it, but she still saw less of this kind of bloody anger, and because she stayed out of the matter, she couldn't understand Lu Zhen's situation like Fu San'er. She only followed Fu San'er to continue walking, and after arriving at the East Chamber, Fu San'er pushed open the door for her, bowed down and invited her in: "This is it, take a look, are you still satisfied?" ”
Mei Rui raised her legs and walked in, there was everything in it, but it smelled a little damp, full of dust, she turned her head to look at Fu San'er, Fu San'er also knew what she was thinking, rubbed her hands and said: "No one else has ever lived in the adult's house, you are the first, and you quickly cleaned up the house for you, don't mind, it will be one night." ”
Maybe it was a beautiful woman who was sent to the Protector's Mansion in the past to live, Mei Rui looked at the furnishings in the house, her daughter was full of breath, she lowered her eyes, and said to Fu San'er without a trace: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
"Then you rest, the villain will send you medicine."
Fu San'er closed the door for Mei Rui, and then turned around and walked to the study, the wind and rain were coming, and the wind blew the leaves on the ground, and the candles between the gauze lamps were flickering, as if they were about to be blown out.
Standing at the door of the study, Fu San'er knocked on the door three times, and Lu Zhen's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
