Chapter 63

Because she was about to leave the next day, the Queen Mother said nothing on the evening of this day, and she didn't agree that Su Yan would keep a vigil for herself, so she sent her to rest early.

Su Yan also knew that the carriage and horses were bumpy and the road was tiring, and she was afraid that she would be as unwell as last time, so she didn't insist anymore, and went back to the house after talking to the Queen Mother for a while.

As soon as Su Yan left, the Queen Mother ordered someone to invite Dou Xian over.

The lights in the main house were on for a long time before they went out.

***

The next day, after having a morning meal and packing their bags, the group set off.

There are several carriages parked outside the temple, when the first one is a slightly larger is the carriage of the Queen Mother, the ordinary black lacquer flat-topped carriage, the appearance looks extremely inconspicuous, but the carriage is completely different, spacious is needless to say, it is rare to be in this number nine cold winter, as soon as you get into the carriage, you can feel the warmth that comes to the face, the inside and outside of the carriage are completely two seasons, Rao is dripping water into ice outside, but the carriage is warm as spring.

Su Yan has seen a lot of carriages before, even how luxuriously arranged it is difficult to resist the cold in winter, so she is a little surprised to see this carriage now, but after so many days by the side of the Queen Mother, she also knows how to restrain her feelings, although she is strange in her heart, she does not show it on her face.

Others can't see it, but the Queen Mother, who has been paying attention to her, can see it, and said with a smile: "You'er, it's strange how this carriage can withstand the cold outside?" ”

After all, there were no outsiders in the carriage, so Su Yan simply asked generously, "It's really strange, ordinary carriages are more or less cool on such cold days, but this carriage is warm." ”

"I thought about what special method the skilled craftsmen in the palace used to concoct wood to do this." Su Yan thought for a moment and said.

The Queen Mother nodded, "There is also this reason, but no matter how you concoct it, it is still wood." ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and tapped the wall of the car, and said: "The biggest reason is still on the wall of this car, which is double-layered, and the mezzanine is wrapped in iron sheets, so as to resist the cold." ”

It is only a few words, but it is extremely difficult to do, this carriage does not know how much manpower it takes to make, ordinary people do not have such human and financial resources to make such a carriage, it is rare.

Su Yan nodded when she heard this, lowering her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking.

Mama Yuezhi dialed the charcoal fire in the gilded beast carved copper furnace, opened the carriage and took out a black lacquered gold-edged food box, which contained a few plates of snacks and fruits such as snacks and fruits, and said to Su Yan: "The old slave sees that the girl doesn't use much for breakfast, and now she should be hungry in her stomach, these snacks are made by the old slave in the morning, and they are still hot, so the girl uses some." ”

Su Yan didn't think that Mama Yuezhi really felt a little hungry in her stomach when she said this, so she ate a few pieces of dim sum as kindly.

Taking a sip of the teacup handed by Mama Yuezhi, Su Yan suddenly remembered something, her eyelashes trembled, she put down the teacup and hesitated, and finally obeyed her mind and slightly rolled up the window to look out.

Because the queen mother's temperament is indifferent and does not like extravagance, she has not played the queen mother's honor guard, only the light car is simple, Rao is so, several carriages and escort the guards in front and back of the road are still huge, from a distance only feel that the mighty like a long dragon.

At the forefront, the Praetorian Guards, who had not been used for their cloth in the temple, were now all dressed in guard uniforms, with swords at their waists, and riding on horses, which was a very strong and eye-catching sight on this desolate official road in winter.

Su Yan only glanced at the Praetorian Guards and then looked away, landing on the two horses that were driving side by side.

Today, the man changed into a dark color clean face and straight silk jacket, the same color of the big coat was fierce in the wind, his posture was tall and handsome like a pine, and when he turned his head slightly, he showed a cold jaw.

For a while, there was only one figure left in Su Yan's eyes.

Dou Xianzheng was talking to Wu Qing, and suddenly his heart moved and he looked back, and saw that the carriage window behind him had opened a narrow slit to reveal half of the little wife's face, as if he didn't expect to be bumped into by him, and a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed in his watery pupils, but it was even more affectionate.

Dou Xian tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and drove the horse to the car window, smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was serious, and asked, "But the Queen Mother has orders?" ”

The secret "voyeurism" was caught, Su Yan was ashamed and embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with herself, and when she heard this, she was relieved, and she shook her head and said, "No, no." ”

If it was in the past, according to her temperament, she must have hurriedly closed the car window and hid at this moment, but today she didn't have it for some reason, her fingertips clasped the car window, and she looked down at the ground that was slowly driving by.

The sound of the horse's hooves rang in the ears very regularly, unhurriedly, just like the calmness of the person riding the horse, but it disturbed the mood of the person who listened.

The two of them faced each other across the car wall, and between them was the warmth of the veins that the cold wind could not disperse.

After a while, Fang listened to Dou Xian's call: "Medicine." ”

Su Yan raised her head, "Huh? ”

Dou Xian leaned over and stroked the corners of her lips with his fingertips, and the palm was close to her cheek, and the cold touch from the palm made him frown, and said, "I know your mind, it's cold, don't look at it." ”

As he spoke, he gently removed her hand holding the window and let it fall.

Su Yan turned around, holding the hand stove handed by Mama Xuezhi with both hands, and a little heat spread from her fingertips and palms, gradually driving away the cold.

Su Yan's frozen eyes blinked slowly, and she lowered her eyes to look at the plum blossoms that were budding on her sleeves.

Who watched him?

In the middle of the night, she held the stove in both hands in front of her, but she laughed silently.

***

Near noon, the carriages and horses stopped at the side of the official road to light a fire to cook and continue on the road after a little rectification.

Winter people are very easy to be lazy, not to mention that this is the time for an afternoon nap, Su Yan leaned on the pillow, her body swayed with the car, and her eyes were half open and half in one.

"You'er." The Queen Mother called softly, and saw Su Yan looking at herself with a pair of misty apricot eyes, her heart was weak, and she said, "If you are tired, you don't have to hold on, go to the carriage behind to rest." ”

"Yes, girl, let's go and rest, there are still more than three hours to get to the station." Mama Yuezhi helped Su Yan up and persuaded softly.

Su Yan didn't shirk anymore and went to rest in the carriage prepared for her at the back.

There was only one person in the carriage, and when she came in, the little maid's eyes lit up instantly, her eyebrows and eyes rose a little, and she pulled Su Yan and chirped: "Girl, you are here, the maid is so bored alone!" ”

Just changed the carriage, and breathed some cold air in one after another, Su Yan's sleepiness disappeared for the most part, so she cheered up and talked to Liu Ying, "Why don't you go to the carriage behind to find Aunt Fang?" ”

Liuying paused when she heard this, and said, "Isn't the maid and the maid waiting for the girl......

Su Yan didn't notice her slightly dodging eyes, and asked again, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Liuying's appetite is bigger than that of ordinary women, and Su Yan always feels that she can't eat enough.

"Full, full......" Liuying lowered her head and sorted out the pillow behind Su Yan, and said in a low voice: "Youfang, Aunt Fang......"

Su Yan found a more comfortable posture to lean on, and didn't think much about it when she heard the words, but only advised: "Don't say that you have to go for six or seven days on the road, if you are bored alone, you can go and talk to Aunt Fang, or you can call the palace people you have befriended to come to the carriage, don't wronged yourself." ”

"Hmm." Liuying responded in a low voice, took out a blanket and gently covered Su Yan's body.

After such a while, Su Yan became more and more sleepy, pulled the blanket along with Liuying's movements, closed her eyes, and let her consciousness gradually sink into darkness.

The carriage was quiet for a while, and for a long time, the voice of the flowing fireflies was almost silent, "Girl, in fact, ......"

As if hesitating about something, the words paused for a long time at this point, and only after Su Yan had completely fallen asleep did they sound again.

"The slave lied to you......"

Liuying looked at Su Yan, who was sleeping sweetly, twisted her hands hard, and said cautiously: "The maid refused to go to the carriage behind because, because ......"

Thinking of the situation when the man was riding a horse and talking to her through the car window, Liuying's cheeks were slightly red, and she bit her lip and was about to continue, but when she saw Su Yan move suddenly, Liuying was startled, and it was easy to take advantage of Su Yan's courage to dissipate in an instant, and swallowed the words in her mouth.

Liu Ying stiffened her back against the wall of the car and held her breath for a while, seeing that Su Yan didn't move anymore, she breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and folded the blanket for Su Yan, knelt in front of Su Yan, and looked at Su Yan's quiet sleepy eyes with her head resting on her folded arms.

After a long time, she muttered: "Girl, they all say that Commander Wu's face is colder and his heart is colder, but the maid thinks he is a good person......"

Otherwise, how could he meet her alone, so he came to talk to her and gave her snacks to eat.
