Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Inn

"Why do I always think of that mediocre-looking woman from time to time?" This is a question that Su Yixing has asked himself many times, but he has never been able to get an answer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until the afternoon of June 13 that Li Qinglan, who had gone to the Zhenqu Pavilion in late May to make an advance deposit to settle for the new June work of the "Qingshuang Layman", who was no longer in stock, brought back the three of Xia Shuanghan's latest paintings for Su Yixing, and stared at the paintings spread out on the desk, and finally realized that the reason why I couldn't forget Xia Shuanghan was because even though I knew that she was a woman, I was still interested in her.

So in this way, although he didn't know why he actually became interested in women, Su Yixing still made the decision to let Li Qinglan go down to find out the whole story as soon as he heard the news of "Xia Shuanghan eloped with his lover".

Subsequently, on the evening of the twenty-third day of June, in Room C No. 3 of Yuelai Inn in the suburbs of Beijing, Xia Shuanghan, who was sitting at the round table and wiping his hair after bathing, ushered in Su Yixing, who flew from the open window and jumped into the room on the second floor.

"Su Shizi?" Xia Shuanghan, who was so shocked by Su Yixing's sudden visit that she almost fell off the round stool, frowned and stood up in displeasure. She didn't intend to salute at all, she looked Su Yixing up and down suspiciously, and wondered: "Dare to ask Su Shizi about his late night visit, I don't know what to do?" ”

In fact, as early as a month ago, when Su Yixing broke into Sanqingguan with Xia Shuanghan, he found Lu Shaoyun's Xia Shuanghan, and thought about such a question on the way down the mountain: Su Yixing has already seen me and Ting Xuan love each other, so when he learns the news of my escape from marriage in the future, will he be puzzled about this?

But then, Xia Shuanghan, who turned around in his mind and determined that in addition to Su Yixing and Lin Xiran, there was no third person who knew about her and Lu Shaoyun's love affair, and still put his worries behind: Su Yixing is a dignified prince, plus he is still a broken sleeve who likes men, he shouldn't have any interest in things like "Why do I obviously love Tingxuan, but I still want to run away from marriage"!

But now, the encounter she experienced in the Yuelai Inn clearly told Xia Shuanghan that her optimistic idea was really wrong!

Glancing at Xia Shuanghan, who was unhappy in front of him and obviously didn't intend to beckon him to sit down, Su Yixing randomly found a convenient place to sit down, and then said: "Xia Shuanghan, this son came here tonight, mainly because I have a question I want to ask you." In the past few days, rumors have been spreading everywhere in Beijing that you and your lover have run away from marriage together. But how is it that as far as I know, you have stayed at this Joy Inn since the evening of the 18th, and that you have been here for more than five full days up to now? ”

"Dare to ask Su Shizi, what the folk girl has done, what she is doing, and what she plans to do in the future, do these things have anything to do with you?" In the neat and bright inn room, glancing at Su Yixing, who was free and easy in front of him, Xia Shuanghan just wanted to drive him out of the house as soon as possible, "If the folk girl remembers correctly, I don't know Su Shizi well, right?" ”

"Aren't we acquainted?" Glancing at Xia Shuanghan from the corner of his evil eyes, Su Yixing smiled playfully and said, "Then Xia Shuanghan, let me ask you, if we are not familiar with it, then how would I know that you have a cinnabar mole the size of a millet grain on your right shoulder?" ”

"......" remembered that he was almost lightened by Su Yixing as a man more than a month ago, and Xia Shuanghan was covered with goosebumps.

She sighed helplessly and compromised: "Su Shizi, I think since you can find out when I settled here, then you must also know that Ting Xuan is leaving Beijing tomorrow, right?" Therefore, for someone like you who knows that I have a deep relationship with Tingxuan Floice, is there another hidden reason for the escape from marriage, I guess I don't need to explain more, right? ”

"Is that really the case?" Glancing at the woman in front of him who was full of vigilance against him, Su Yixing couldn't help but have some thoughts of wanting to play tricks on Xia Shuanghan, "Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun just let such a young girl be single and wait for him so defenselessly, isn't he worried, what happened to you?" ”

"Accident?" Glancing at the ill-intentioned smile on the corner of Su Yixing's mouth, Xia Shuanghan, who was alarmed in his heart, turned around and ran towards the door. It's a pity that before she opened the door and escaped, she felt a numbness in her left leg, but she still fell to the ground uncontrollably because of the weakness of her calf.

"Su Shizi, can you change your habit of casually ordering people's acupoints?" knew that he was suffering from Su Yixing's "clear calculation" Xia Shuanghan, and glared at him angrily.

"I don't want to just order someone's acupoint, but who told you to run?" Throwing aside a few small pebbles in his hand for pointing, Su Yixing, who was smiling more and more ill-willedly, glanced at Xia Shuanghan, who was still struggling to stand up in his left leg, and then stepped forward and bent down to try to help her up. As for the disrespectful stare that Xia Shuanghan committed below, Su Yixing, who was currently in a good mood, decided not to bother with her.

"Don't, don't, stay away from me!" Xia Shuanghan, who still couldn't stand up, gave up his efforts for the time being, and only raised his hands to stop Su Yixing from approaching, "Lord Shizi, I really don't understand, I have no grievances with you, and the matter on Linze Lake has been written off, what are you still looking for me to do?" If there is something really going on, can you just say it and give it a good time? ”

Looking at the pair of amber eyes in front of him that were shining with anger, Su Yixing didn't know what kind of answer he should make. "I just came to see you because I was curious", could he say such an answer? Obviously not! So in this short silence, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside, completely cutting off the possibility of Su Yixing continuing the conversation in front of him.

"Tingxuan? What are you doing here? Didn't you say you wouldn't be able to come and make peace with me until tomorrow morning? Looking back at Lu Shaoyun who pushed open the door and walked in, Xia Shuanghan's first reaction was: When did Tingxuan come? What kind of conversation like the cinnabar mole on the shoulder, he didn't hear it just now, right?

"Things went well, so I got out of town early." Leng Leng glanced at Su Yixing, who took two steps back and distanced himself from Xia Shuanghan after he entered the door, Lu Shaoyun did not greet him like Xia Shuanghan, and only bent down and lifted the acupoint of his sweetheart. Then, he picked up Xia Shuanghan with half arms and half support, and sent him to the bedside.

"Su Shizi, dare to ask what is your purpose in coming from afar to visit my fiancΓ©e's temporary residence at night?" Lu Shaoyun, who signaled that Xia Shuanghan, who was numb in his legs, sat down on the edge of the bed, and turned around with a cold face.

stepped forward and put the bag on his back on the round table in the center of the room, and Lu Shaoyun, who had a serious expression, said to Su Yixing, who was standing on the opposite side of the table: "Also, Su Shizi, you can point points to the frost and cold at will, hindering her personal freedom, isn't it too inappropriate to do this?" ”

"Your fiancΓ©e?" Su Yixing glanced at Lu Shaoyun, who was wearing a human skin mask in front of him, but his disguise could not hide his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Why, Lu Gongzi, you took great pains to make the news of your fiancΓ©e's escape all over the sky, and finally covered up your true purpose of leaving Beijing." But now, are you going to destroy the Great Wall and expose your true identity in front of me? ”

"But even if I wanted to hide it, I couldn't hide it, could I? Su Shilang, you have been in the Criminal Department for many years, subtle or crude, what kind of disguise technique have you not seen? What's more, with your ingenuity, since you can track down here, who is Frost and Cold waiting for here, and you should have known such a thing, right? ”

"Well, I did guess, it's just ......" Su Yixing, who hooked the corners of his evil lips and decided to probe Lu Shaoyun's hypocrisy, bluffed: "Lu Tingxuan, aren't you afraid that I will publicize your next whereabouts?" ”

"Su Shilang won't, after all, you have always made a clear distinction between public and private affairs." Lu Shaoyun, who believed from the bottom of his heart that Su Yixing had definitely guessed that his and Xia Shuanghan's fake escape marriage was related to the red and white pills, glanced at Xia Shuanghan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing his left calf, and asked one last time: "Dare to ask Su Shizi, what is the purpose of your visit late at night?" ”

"It's hard to dispel doubts, so I'm here to solve them." Su Yixing, who also glanced at Xia Shuanghan who was sitting on the edge of the bed, knowing that with Lu Shaoyun present, it was impossible for him to have further contact with Xia Shuanghan, he hugged his fist at the man in front of him as he spoke, and then jumped out of the open window with a "farewell".

"What the hell?" Stopping the action of rubbing his soreness left calf, Xia Shuanghan, who stood up, walked to the table, glanced at the dark night scene outside the window, and wondered: "What is he doing here?" ”

"You ask me? Isn't that what you should be answering? What did you say to me in the Sanqingguan at the beginning, didn't you say that he was your friend? From Su Yixing's last look before leaving, Lu Shaoyun, who was keenly aware that he really had intentions for Xia Shuanghan, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Three days ago, when he learned from his grandfather's people that the people of the Xiangyang Palace were secretly investigating Xia Shuanghan's whereabouts after leaving Beijing, Lu Shaoyun also doubted whether all the doubts could be his own care. But now, the result of squeezing out time to meet Xia Shuanghan in advance told him that his intuition was not wrong: the reason why Su Yixing was so concerned about Shuang Han's escape from marriage was really because he coveted Shuang Han.

"Hehe, actually, I don't know Su Shizi at all, I don't know what he's doing today."

Staring at Lu Shaoyun beside him with a displeased face, Xia Shuanghan, who concluded from his words that he had not heard the topic of "cinnabar mole", turned to think of the situation where the latent plan was now discovered by Su Yixing, an outsider, so he couldn't help but worry: "Tingxuan, now, Su Shizi already knows about the latent plan, does it matter?" Would you like to send a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just in case? ”

"I'll take care of this myself, you don't have to worry." From Xia Shuanghan's attitude towards Su Yixing, it was judged that she did not notice that someone had a mind about her, and Lu Shaoyun, who was thinking about her, did not want to talk about questions such as "Why did Su Yixing point at your acupoint".

Walking to the window, Lu Shaoyun, who raised his hand to close the wide open window, said helplessly in his heart: It has only been more than a month since Liu Zirun's misunderstanding was resolved, and now he wants to add a strong rival like Su Yixing to the list of rivals? Sure enough, if I don't agree to the conditions offered by Frost and Cold, she has a reason to draw a line with me and marry someone else!

On the twenty-fourth day of June, this is the day when Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun officially embarked on their journey to Guanwai.

In the early morning, Xia Shuanghan, who was dressed as a man, handed over a small part of her luggage to Lu Shaoyun, who was only carrying a cloth bag, and then put on a hat and turned over on horseback.

"What are you doing here?" Judging from the sound of the contents of the cloth bag when he took it, Lu Shaoyun, who was filled with a bulging oil paper bag, said curiously: "This bag looks like it's not small, but it's not very heavy when you lift it, it shouldn't be filled with cotton or something, right?" ”

"What do you ask so much? Anyway, it's something that men don't need, so don't think about it. ”

So in this way, Lu Shaoyun, who put his mind on the matter of hurrying, quickly forgot about the oil paper package.

Along the way, the horse's travel speed was not fast, after all, Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan spent almost five hours on the road every day, such a long time, even if the people on horseback could withstand the bumps, the horse would not be able to run.

Wind and sun, dry food and cold water, the difficulties of the journey are far more than two. Staying on the back of the horse for a long time, the soreness in the lower back and the skin on the inner thighs worn by the saddle, these pains Xia Shuanghan didn't say a word to Lu Shaoyun, "Can you change the status quo if you say it?" Of course not, then since you can't, just put up with it. ”

But at night, when staying in an inn or a farmhouse, Xia Shuang's awkward walking posture and his skin that still tanned quickly even after wearing a hat still made Lu Shaoyun, who had everything in his eyes, feel distressed.

At the beginning, he shouldn't have dragged the frost into such a thing as "destroying the red and white pills" for his own selfish desires. After a long journey, those Rong girls who traveled with their father and brother still had carriages to sit on, but what about the frost and cold, what did she have?

"Frost and cold, your complexion today is really too bad." After leaving the Yuelai Inn and walking on the official road for ten days, on the afternoon of the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, Lu Shaoyun, who was riding on horseback, glanced at Xia Shuanghan's slightly pale face and listless expression beside him, and proposed: "Why don't we rest for half a day tomorrow and then go on the road?" ”

"I'm not tired, really, even if it's a whole day off, it's useless, so don't waste time." Glancing at Lu Shaoyun with a worried look on his side, Xia Shuanghan really couldn't explain to him that the reason why his state was so bad today was entirely because of his untimely Kwai Shui.

Waist and abdomen soreness, weakness of limbs, tiredness and sleepiness, cold hands and feet, whether in the past life or in this life, once the moon letter comes, Xia Shuanghan always looks so sluggish and unwell.

To be honest, if it comes to pain, Xia Shuanghan thinks that her mild pain, which is not as serious as the split qi, does not have much impact on her. However, not being in pain does not mean that the impact of Yuexin on her is small, because she has a lot of money!

Walking on the official road, I can't find a place to change the menstrual belt, which is the problem that makes Xia Shuanghan the most distressed. Riding on horseback, she has always been in a bad spirit, and every once in a while, she can clearly feel a hot current rushing down from her lower abdomen. And this bad experience made her complexion worse and worse.

"No, if you don't find a place to change it, you'll definitely have to reveal it!" Sitting on the back of the horse, anxious about whether it would leave blood stains on the saddle, Xia Shuanghan finally saw a dense grove in front of him. She quickly took out the oily paper bag that had puzzled him from the cloth bag that had been exchanged with Lu Shaoyun, and then said, "Tingxuan, stop in the grove in front of you, I have something to deal with." ”

Turning his head to look at the oiled paper bag that was carefully held in his hand by Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun, who obviously noticed that the paper bag was smaller than at the beginning, began to wonder again: It is still less than an hour since she left the place of lunch break, and Shuanghan didn't drink much water along the way, so why is she obviously not going to go to convenience, why is she resolutely not allowed me to follow as soon as she takes the oily paper bag?

Looking at Xia Shuanghan walking towards the depths of the woods with a paper bag, although he had heard a little about women's menstrual affairs, but because he was at the border all the year round and was not close to women, Lu Shaoyun, who was far from being able to understand this matter, finally pointed to the oil paper bag that was much smaller when he stayed at the inn at night, and asked the doubts in his heart.

...... "Do I have to explain this to him, both in my past life and in this life?" Glancing at Lu Shaoyun, who knew very little about all issues related to women's bodies, Xia Shuanghan said helplessly: "Ting Xuan, even if you are not close to women, you should have heard about menstruation, right?" Then you say that I have shed so much blood in one day, can I look better? ”

Hearing this, and then thinking of what Xia Shuanghan once said, "This is something that men don't need", Lu Shaoyun, who finally suddenly understood what was in the oil paper bag, couldn't help but have two not-so-obvious blush on his face. He coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and said as seriously as possible: "Then, what can I do for you so that you don't feel so uncomfortable?" ”

"Lu Tingxuan, you said it yourself, don't dislike it when the time comes."

In her previous life, Xia Shuanghan, who married into the Dingguo Mansion in April, was personally taken care of by Lu Shaoyun, who said nothing and refused to sleep in a separate room with her, every time she had a menstrual affair. Therefore, when she had long been accustomed to feeling abdominal pain because of menstruation, Lu Shaoyun rubbed Xia Shuanghan, who warmed her palm, and did not hesitate to support him to help her do this and that.

The water after washing his body was poured out of the house by Lu Shaoyun, and the ginger tea with brown sugar was stuffed into Xia Shuanghan's hand.

Glancing at Lu Shaoyun, who worked hard and sat back on the bed to help warm her feet after taking care of herself in a hurry, her hands and feet warmed up, her stomach also warmed, and Xia Shuanghan, who was even warmer in her heart, smiled knowingly and said, "Why don't you really mind?" Didn't most men find it filthy and unpleasant, and they didn't want to touch it at all? ”

"I'm used to being on the battlefield, and I don't care about the smell of blood or anything. What's more, the current situation was caused by me involving you in the case of the red and white pill, if I still dislike you and say that I don't want to take care of you, then I will slap myself twice. Just ......"

Looking up at Xia Shuanghan, who had obviously improved after drinking brown sugar ginger tea, Lu Shaoyun put aside his embarrassment and asked directly: "The basin of blood just now, I was quite shocked to see it, I didn't know that the amount of bleeding would be so big when the woman came to menstruation, and this blood first-class is seven days, can you really hold it?" If your body were thin, wouldn't you bleed to death? ”

"Haha...... Hahaha......" Glancing at Lu Shaoyun's ignorant and worried look, Xia Shuanghan put down the empty teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you really want to figure out this matter?" ”

"I ...... Well, if I don't know anything, how can I take good care of you? Originally, if I was in the capital, I would have asked a doctor, and it would have been clear, but now, I can only let you talk to me. ”

"Hey, Tingxuan, how can you say you can be so cute?"

sat up on the bed, happily and gratefully dropped a kiss on Lu Shaoyun's cheek, and then found a comfortable position in his arms to lean on Xia Shuanghan, raised his hands around his sweetheart's waist, and explained: "You don't have to worry, compared to those who roll in bed as soon as they menstruate, my symptoms are already very mild." As long as I don't catch a cold for a few days, after tomorrow night, after the amount of bleeding decreases, I will be alive again. ”

"Someone is rolling all over the bed in pain?" Lu Shaoyun, who pulled the quilt and wrapped Xia Shuanghan's lower limbs tightly, asked with concern: "What about you, do you hurt?" If I help you rub it, won't you feel better? ”

"Don't don't, don't rub it, if you rub it, I guess I'm going to bleed." The cold summer frost leaned on Lu Shaoyun's warm chest, and sighed comfortably: "I am afraid of the cold as soon as the menstrual affair comes, you don't do anything, it is enough to concentrate on being my portable stove." ”

"Okay." Hearing this, Lu Shaoyun, who held Xia Shuanghan with one hand and held her cold soft body in his arms by the way, hesitated several times, and then pasted his other hand on her lower abdomen through Xia Shuanghan's middle coat. "That's ...... Wouldn't it be warmer? ”

The soreness was resolved by the warm palm on the lower abdomen. Looking up at the increasingly obvious blush on Lu Shaoyun's cheeks, Xia Shuanghan did not raise an objection to the intimate posture that she had long been accustomed to in her previous life, but said "thank you". (To be continued.) )
