Chapter 33: The Other Thirteen Princes
87_87438"Fluttershy, are you alright?" Yi Xun turned to Fluttershy, and there was a hint of warmth in her cold voice.
This tone made Shouxin slight, this was the first time she had seen Yi Xun so soft with others, of course, except for herself.
She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, feeling that Yi Xun's gentleness was just showing to herself, and this kind of treatment to others made her very unhappy. However, she was just unhappy and immediately scolded herself. Yi Xun is not her alone, they used to only see each other for one month a year, and she didn't know if Yi Xun would show tenderness to more other people at other times and other places.
She didn't know why she was uncomfortable in her heart, she wasn't such a jealous and selfish person!
After scolding herself, she didn't think about it anymore, because Yi Xun had already seen her and waved his hand at her: "Guard!" ”
"Master!" Shouxin goes over to greet Fluttershy and smiles when he meets him.
"You go back first!" Yi Xun sent Fluttershy away with a word, and then looked at Shouxin again, "Are you tired?" Why don't you take a break? ”
"I just fell asleep, and I heard the sound and got up to take a look." As soon as Shouxin said this, Yi Xun knew that Shoufu woke Shouxin up, and he suddenly became even more disgusted with Shoufu.
"Oh. Are you still used to it here? Let's delay here for a few days before entering the city and the palace! Speaking of this, Yi Xun's voice was lowered, obviously not wanting to be heard by others.
"Got it." Shouxin felt that there was no need for Yi Xun to come to her alone to talk to her about this, and he really didn't understand what to see when he didn't sleep at night. Is it to help Fluttershy? So how does he know that Blessing will trouble Fluttershy?
Without waiting for Shouxin to understand, Yi Xun asked her again, "How is the fruit?" Some of them were shipped from the south, and I ate them well, so I asked Fluttershy to bring them to you. ”
"Uh...... OK! "Guarding her heart is slightly embarrassed, she didn't eat it well, woo woo!
Yi Xun watched her 'grow up', and knew something about her, and when he saw her like this, he found something wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Not tasty? ”
"No, it's not ......"
"What's going on?"
Shouxin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, Yi Xun, Yi Xun, can you not be so clever? This is seen to be inappropriate. In the end, Shouxin had to tell the story, but she only said that she gave half of the fruit to Shoufu, and the other half to the senior brothers.
Yi Xun, who understood Shouxin, made up his own brain at that time, and felt that Shoufu had robbed Shoufu of the fruit of Shouxin, and decided to lock her up for a few more days.
"Send it, send it, there will be a caravan back from the south in two days, and see if there is any fruit when the time comes, and if there is, I will keep it for you." During this period, the transportation was not convenient, and it took about a month to walk from the south to the capital, so there were really not many fruits that could be saved.
"Then thank you, master!" The smiling guard is gone, and the sleepy insect is gone.
"What's polite to me, this is for you!" Yi Xun handed Shouxin a purse, and Shouxin was puzzled. This is generally a woman giving a man a purse, what does this mean?
At Yi Xun's suggestion, Shouxin opened the purse and looked at it, it turned out that it was full of broken silver, large and small, and a silver ticket of one hundred taels. She raised her head, looked at Yi Xun puzzled, and asked with her eyes: What do you want to give me money?
"Uncle Shi can come over after three days, you can go around to play in these three days, you can also go to the city, but you have to come back to Zhuangzi at night. I've got something to do these days, so I'll let the guard walk around with you, and buy whatever you want, and I'll not be able to ask Fluttershy for silver. ”
"Oh, that's it! I don't need so much silver, won't you give us money? Two taels of silver each time is enough. Shouxin remembered the matter of distributing the silver before, and felt that it was not good for him to find so much silver in vain, and she hadn't done much for him!
"Just take it, you are a little junior sister, so naturally you are biased." Yi Xun asked Shouxin to accept the money, and did not deny that he would send silver to others again.
As soon as the words fell, before Shouxin could thank him, a few strange bird chirps came from outside the courtyard.
Yi Xun said: "You go to sleep, I still have something!" ”
"Oh." Shouxin didn't say much, he knew that Yi Xun should still have something to do. He said goodbye to Yi Xun and went back to the house to sleep.
As soon as Yi had left the courtyard, someone owed the horse over, and he turned on his horse, followed by two sturdy men. The three of them rode out of Zhuangzi and went directly to the imperial city.
But now the gates were closed, and they did not stop when they reached them. After walking far around the city wall for another hour, he dismounted in a hidden place, and entered the secret passage again.
At this time, they are especially cautious, and their movements are even faster, like cheetahs in the night, elegant and dangerous.
This secret passage seemed to be longer than the secret passage of Feicheng, and after nearly four hours of zigzag, the sky was already bright, and when they reappeared, they were already somewhere in the palace.
Yi Xun was dressed in black and looked at the man lying on the bed in front of him in the dark.
Although the candle was not lit, Yi Xun could still see that the man's face was exactly the same as that of him without a human skin mask. At this moment, his face was pale, his breathing was weak, and he seemed to have been ill for a long time.
Yi Xun took out a small red porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a black pill from it and stuffed it into the mouth of the man on the bed. The pill melts in your mouth, but the taste is spicy and bitter. Woke the man from his slumber.
When he saw someone in front of the bed, he was startled at first, and then he struggled to get up and salute.
Yi Xun said lightly: "You hurt the city like this, don't care about these false courtesies." ”
"Thank you, master." The man thanked him, his voice quiet, but his breath was much more powerful than before. "Thank you for the medicine." The physical discomfort made the man a little confused, but he still felt the power of the medicine, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly thanked him.
"You were born and died for me, this pill is nothing." Yi Xun's indifferent eyes moved, and he helped the man to lie down again: "Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt in vain." ”
Hearing this, the man was excited: "Master, you mean ......?"
"Yes, I will not sit idly by in the future, just wait for the best time, when the time is right and the right person ......"
Yi Xun didn't finish speaking, but the man already understood. He suppressed his excitement, but his eyes showed extreme longing. Come to think of it, such a suffocated and passive life has passed for too long, and I want to resist too much.
"You take care of your injuries, I'll come back in a few days, be careful yourself." Yi Xun came to see him this time, and also to settle people's hearts.
"Yes!" The man answered, and saw Yi Xun turn around and hide in the darkness, disappearing without a trace in a short time, if it weren't for the much healer of the injuries on his body, he would have felt that he had a dream.
At the same time, Shouxin had already gotten up from the bed, and without Shoufu by her side, she slept very sweetly.
After a hurried freshening up and having breakfast, I went to the defensive.
The guard saw her slightly stunned, and then asked, "Shouxin, are you finally wearing women's clothes?" ”
"Well, how's that?" The women's clothes on Shouxin's body are not gorgeous, but the light-colored cotton dress I bought at Crab Roe Bend before, which is very ordinary peasant women's dress. However, this is also a good condition of the peasant girl's dress, because the average woman's family can't even afford to wear this kind of cotton cloth, but wears that kind of big green cloth.
The green cloth is strong and dirt-resistant, and even if the peasant woman does not work in the fields, the work in front of the house, behind the house and on the stove is dirty enough, and she is often busy all day, and her body is covered with dust. I can't do this light-colored cotton dress!
And Shouxin also combed two bags on his head at this time, which is very suitable for the dress of a thirteen-year-old girl, looking elf, well-behaved, and very cute.
It's the first time I've seen Shouxin do this kind of dress, usually on the island, even if she wears a girl's practice uniform, she has to put her hair up on the top of her head, this kind of cute bag and head really makes him have the urge to bite Shouxin.
"Hey, defensive, you talk!" Shouxin has just taken a bronze mirror in the room, and although he can't see clearly, it's also quite cute. Why doesn't the defense speak? Isn't it ugly?
"Ahem, that's good!" The defender hurriedly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at the cute Shouxin again.
"Have you heard? We could go into town and have a walk. ”
"Well, Miss Fluttershy said when she came to deliver breakfast. Let's go, let's go get the money. "The defender also wants to have a good time shopping, and he still has something to buy.
"Let's go!" Although she accepted Yi Xun's silver, if she didn't receive it, others would be strange, so she still received it.
This time, Huang Zhenwei is not responsible for handing out the money, but Fluttershy is in charge, and the two of them go to the hall at the front of the courtyard, where someone is already receiving the money. When Fluttershy sees that it's them, she laughs and says, "You can take whatever you want, but keep it in your account and deduct it when you pay it later." ”
"Oh! It turns out that you can get more this time! "I didn't expect that this time it wasn't two taels of silver, but the previous two taels of silver were given to them for free, but this time it will be returned in the future.
Shouxin thought about it, went up and said, "I'll get two taels of silver." ”
Fluttershy is a little surprised that everyone else has received more than 10 taels, and Shou Zheng has also received 100 taels! However, Fluttershy doesn't say much and writes a note in her account, asking Shouxin to sign it and send it to her.
"I'll take fifty taels." The guard then received fifty taels, and the guard was busy giving him frequent looks.
The defense was puzzled, signed and took the silver out and asked Shouxin: "Little junior sister, what did you just give me a look?" ”
"I have money here, why do you take so much?"
"Didn't you just receive two taels of silver? I have something I want to buy, so don't ask. ”
"I have a lot of money! Forget it, I've got it. Shouxin didn't ask again, although he didn't know what Defensive was going to buy, but everyone had his *not.
As they spoke, the two went to the stables to lead the horses.
When he arrived at the stable, Shouquan was also there, but this time he was alone, and Shoufu was still in confinement, so it was impossible to go out for a walk. A few people said hello, and Shouquan left first. Shouxin first fed Shenma some black feed, and found that Shenma Bai was not there, knowing that Yi Xun had not come back yet.
However, this time Shouxin did not ride the god horse black, she wore a cotton dress, and it was too unreliable to ride a sweaty BMW, so she rode directly with the guard.
The two led the horses and went straight to the imperial city out of Zhuangzi.
This is the first time Shouxin has seen the Imperial City, and compared to the walls of Feicheng, the walls of the Imperial City are taller and grander. The two big characters on the city wall, 'Imperial City', are plaques painted with gold lacquer, which looks even more noble.
And when entering the Imperial City, the inspection is much stricter than that of Feicheng
