Chapter 42: Saltpeter
Shang Gongji walked into the room, and the stove was lit inside, and it was unusually warm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He sat down thoughtfully and said, "You're still up to now." ”
Xiao Xiaoyun smiled lightly, Shang Gongji would be involuntarily stunned every time he arrived, only to feel that it was the breeze and the bright moon passing in front of him. Xiao Xiao took a sip of tea and said, "Heaven and earth are furnaces, who is not suffering." ”
Shang Gongzhen was quite touched, and his complexion eased a lot. He said, "What are you still doing when you come back?" ”
"Shang Gong Scar...... Xiao Xiao pretended to look at Shang Gong Scar, "When did you learn to ask knowingly?" ”
Shang Gongji was choked, and his originally improved complexion suddenly deteriorated again.
Xiao Xiao laughed heartily, seeing him like this, she was indeed in a good mood.
"You know what," Xiao Xiao said while touching his face while laughing, "I thought I became like this, you wouldn't recognize me." ”
Shang Gongji was stunned.
There was a dull pain in my heart.
"How did you recognize me?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Shang Gongji asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I recognize you?" ”
For some reason, such a brainless conversation always appeared when they were arguing, Xiao Xiao habitually smiled and said, "Your gaze." ”
In the darkness of the night, his gaze was not wary of strangers, but familiar, with a long-lost hostility.
"Now it's your turn." Xiao Xiao said.
Shang Gongji was a little annoyed, he commanded the night envoy of the East Palace, and he should have cleaned up his expression well. Along with the look, it shouldn't be so obvious.
He said slowly, "You just changed your face. ”
Xiao Xiao stared at Shang Gongji.
His words are intriguing.
But it's subtle.
Xiao Xiao blinked and said, "Shang Gongji, what if I don't want more people to know my identity?" ”
Shang Gongji immediately understood what Xiao Xiao meant when he heard this, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Who are you and me?" ”
Xiao Xiao smiled, "You are naturally a gentleman, but in front of me, you seem to be a little angry." ”
Shang Gong was speechless.
After a long time, he said: "It's not that you are too annoying." ”
In the past, if Shang Gongji said that, Xiao Xiao would have pushed back, but now she has mixed tastes, and her eyes can't help but dim.
Back then, she had an excuse to do evil and make herself a person who was not tolerated by heaven and earth; Now that all titles have been stripped and the lead has been scattered, only the remaining regrets are fermenting endlessly.
"That's true."
Four words, but extremely bitter, are squeezed out of between the teeth little by little.
Shang Gongzhen was a little unaccustomed, he coughed dryly, and then said: "In the yellow developed rice line, there is a smell of saltpeter. ”
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows jumped, a little stunned, "I guess he has other things, but I didn't think he was hiding this kind of thing." ”
"I can only say so much...... "Shang Gongji is hindered by his identity, and it is inconvenient to help her too much.
"That's enough." Xiao Xiao nodded in gratitude, "Actually, what shocked me was that you were willing to help me." ”
Shang Gongzhen looked away a little unnaturally and said, "I just don't want anyone to do evil under His Majesty's nose. ”
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, but said, "Yes." ”
The two talked for a while, and Shang Gongji got up and prepared to go back. He is the "shadow" of Emperor Zhou, and if he leaves for too long, he will not be able to do so after all.
Before leaving, he looked back at Xiao Xiao deeply, and suddenly said, "Don't die." ”
She looked too weak to make him wonder if there would be another time to meet.
