Chapter Eighty-Four: Meeting the Dead
There is nothing more embarrassing in the world than when you don't want to see someone, but this person appears in front of you so suddenly, defenseless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I've been uneasy these days, I don't know if I'm uneasy because the murderer of Chenxi hasn't been caught for a long time, or if I feel like something is going to happen. For a long time, how many people have spared no cost for the emperor's dream, but there are really a few people who can have the last laugh. I've never thought about it in this way, not because I don't think it's possible, but because I don't dare to think about it.
I know I'm not a timid person, but once I think about some things too much, I will be afraid a lot. For example, if you don't think about some things in your heart, you won't have so many troubles, and the reason why there are so many problems in front of you is just for yourself.
For several days, the prince entered the palace early and returned to the palace very late, saying that there was something important in the palace. Even the Seventh Master, who has always come to the palace often, has not appeared for a long time, so the emperor must have something to discuss with them.
Jinqiu saw that I was bored in the mansion, so she proposed: "Princess, why don't you go outside with Sister Slave and Sister Qianping?" Princess, you haven't been out for a few days? ”
In the past, I was trying my best to go out of the house to play, and Chen Xi was afraid that I would have something to do when I went out, so he didn't worry about me leaving the palace, but now it's much better, but what should I do when I go out? Chenxi has already accompanied me to finish shopping in the market, and I have already played and watched what I should see.
"Yes, yes, princess, it's okay to stay in the mansion anyway, besides, the prince is not in the mansion, why don't you go out with you for a walk as Jinqiu said?" Qianping also echoed on the side.
I looked at the two of them and talked about how they were more motivated than I was when they went out.
"I think it's good to stay in the house." I deliberately said it seriously, deliberately acting like I didn't want to go out.
Qianping and Jinqiu didn't expect me to say this, with disappointed expressions, these two girls are still hard-mouthed, obviously they just want to go.
"Tell me, don't you two want to go out on your own?" I asked.
"No, no." Jin Qiu immediately explained.
Seeing this, Qianping immediately grabbed Jinqiu and stopped her from continuing, but Jinqiu had to keep her mouth shut.
"I think it's the two of you who want to get out, right?" I asked again.
Now, the two girls stopped talking, maybe they didn't know what to say, and they were afraid of saying the wrong thing if they said too much, so they had to say nothing.
"Okay, let's not tease the two of you, the weather is good today, the three of us will change our clothes and go out for a walk later." I told me that if I didn't agree to the two of them, I guess I would be disappointed.
"Really?" The first to speak was the girl Ka Ping, "Then Jinqiu and I will go back to the house and get ready, and come over later." After speaking, he pulled Jinqiu and ran out.
Seeing her immediately happy appearance, I knew that she wanted to go out more than me, so I shouldn't be disappointed now.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
The street market in the Northern Desert is extremely lively, not to mention that it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven.
Qianping and Jinqiu, the two girls, have not been idle since they left the palace, they will look at this, and they will look at that, in short, where is there fun, there must be the two of them, looking at this posture, and said that the two of them don't want to come out.
When I saw the two of her, I remembered myself at that time, I was so carefree at that time, I didn't have to think about anything, I didn't have to worry about anything, I always felt that it should be something far away from me. However, once people have experienced some things, they will know how to grow up, and they will really grow up.
Later, the three of us passed by Gu Yi's "Penglai Pavilion", and Chen Xi brought me here last time, and it has been a while, and this is the second time I have come here.
As soon as I arrived outside the door, Gu Yi, who was busy with work, saw me at a glance and immediately greeted me.
"Girl, why are you here? Didn't he accompany you, Fourth Master? Gu Yi looked at the two girls behind me and asked.
I smiled and said, "The fourth master has something to do, so he will come out to hang out when he has nothing to do, and it is just time for lunch, so he will bring two girls to you." ”
I glanced inside, they were all guests eating, the guys were serving food, greeting guests, very busy, but as the boss Gu Yi didn't care about this, he patronized and greeted the three of us.
"I wonder what the girl wants to eat?" Gu Yi asked.
"If you have anything delicious here, just have a few things, and the three of us won't be able to eat them all." I say.
"Then I'll take you to the Accord that the fourth master usually uses." As he spoke, Gu Yi was going to lead us there.
I saw that there was a vacant seat on the first floor, and that Accord belonged to Chenxi's usual use, but it was too quiet, presumably for Qianping and Jinqiu, who have always liked to be lively, should not be used to eating in such a special way!
"Gu Yi, wait a minute, let's be here!" I hurriedly stopped, pointed to an empty seat in front of me and said to him.
"Girl, but there are more guests here, and it's a little noisy." Gu Yixian explained.
Naturally, crowded places are more lively, but I don't pay much attention to them. As long as you can eat well, a lively environment is not necessarily bad.
"It's okay, let's just have a meal, you can just bring us a few side dishes, there are a lot of guests here to eat, don't take care of us." I told Gu Yi that he didn't have to be so polite, just treat us as ordinary guests.
Gu Yi led us to our seats and poured tea for us personally. There are so many customers here, and it is rare for the owner to provide such warm service to the guests. For such a special "hospitality", some guests and guys attracted the attention, and most of them looked puzzled and puzzled.
However, Gu Yi, who greeted us on the side, didn't pay attention to these, "Girl, you wait here, I'll go to the kitchen and order you to prepare some special dishes from our store." "After arranging us, he hurried to the kitchen, for fear of neglecting us.
After Gu Yi left, Qianping and Jinqiu, who had been looking at these in their eyes, looked at me suspiciously.
"What's wrong with you two? Why do you look at me like that? I asked as I drank tea.
"Miss, how do you know the boss here?" Miss is what I called the two of them especially for me, looking at Qianping's surprised expression, she must be full of questions.
I put down the teacup and said casually: "This matter is related to the fourth master, it's a long story, or the fourth master brought me here last time, so I know each other once I am born and twice cooked." ”
It's normal for Qianping to be surprised, I'm from Chu State, and I'm very unfamiliar with the Northern Desert, let alone know people here.
"I see." Qianping slowly understood what was going on.
Then this boss should be very familiar with the fourth master, and he is very polite to us! There were so many guests, just the three of us. Jinqiu said.
I think there should be more than one familiar word to describe it!
During the conversation, Gu Yi had already brought the food to us, each side dish was unique, and the knife work was also good. Some of the other guests are still waiting, I came to eat last time, and it goes without saying that it tastes good.
"Girl, you use it slowly!" Gu Yi said.
"Okay, thank you." I thanked him.
After Gu Yi left, Qianping tasted a bite of the dish and gave a thumbs up again and again.
"Miss, don't say it, this dish tastes pretty good. No wonder there are so many guests who come back, if I have eaten once, I will come back next time. ”
"Well, if it's delicious, you can eat more." I say.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"How many guest officers? Do you want to stay or eat? "It's the voice of the little two hungry in the store, and another customer is coming.
"Prepare three rooms for us, and a few more for us to prepare."
I was picking up vegetables when I was suddenly stopped by this voice, that voice ・・・・・・・・・・・・・
I quickly turned my head and looked at the person who was speaking.
At that moment, I thought that I had never been here, yes, it was him, the person who I thought he was about to forget, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes one day, so all the memories came back, no matter how hard I tried to forget, once that person appeared, even the forgotten memories would be deeply rooted in my mind.
And that's how I feel at the moment.
"Miss, are you alright?" Qianping asked me in a low voice, she should have seen that person like me.
How did he come to the Northern Desert? Isn't he supposed to stay in the Qi Kingdom?
"Don't worry, I'm fine." I smiled at Qianping to hide the uneasiness in my heart.
Jinqiu looked at the two of me inexplicably, not knowing what was going on.
When I was about to turn around and not be discovered by Qi Junxuan, I happened to be seen by him, and at that moment, I thought that this must be the most unwilling thing in the world, and it is also the last thing I want to encounter in my life.
Obviously, Qi Junxuan was also stunned, maybe he didn't expect me to be here.
Qianping put her eyes behind me, and I felt someone slowly walking towards me, and my heart was extremely nervous, as if I couldn't breathe.
Suddenly, I was gently tapped on the shoulder.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here."
I hurriedly looked back at the people standing behind me, and of course the Seventh Master who came with me.
"Fourth master, why are you here?" I asked, with a strange delight.
"When I went back to the house, I heard that you came out, and I found a few places and I didn't see you, thinking that it was time to eat, so I came here to have a look, I didn't want you to be here." Chen Xi replied, and then set his eyes on another person, and this person was Qi Junxuan.
Maybe what should come will always come, and you can't hide it, since you can't escape, then you can only face it!
Qi Junxuan didn't turn around and leave, but walked towards me and Chenxi step by step.
My hand was suddenly grabbed by Chenxi, and I held it tightly, as if I felt protected, very warm.
The next moment, I noticed that Qi Junxuan's eyes looked at the hand held by Chen Xi for a long time.
"What a coincidence, Fourth Prince." He said indifferently, then looked at me and called my name.
"It's a coincidence, thinking we'll see each other tomorrow." I didn't make a sound, it was Chenxi who was talking alone. Listening to his tone, it seemed that he had known that Qi Junxuan would come to the Northern Desert, could it be that the two of them had been in and out of the palace frequently in the past few days for this matter?
"It's rare to come to the Northern Desert, I want to come and see it in advance." Qi Junxuan said lightly.
"Okay, we have to go back and don't bother you, if you need anything, you can come to me at any time, and I will order someone to arrange it for you tomorrow." After saying that, Chen Xi took me and a few others out of Penglai Pavilion.
The seventh master wanted to go back to his palace first, and he parted with us halfway.
I didn't speak all the way, I really didn't know what to say. It wasn't until the back garden of the palace was in the back garden that Chen Xi told Qianping and Jinqiu to go their separate ways, and then let go of my hand.
"Didn't think I'd see him again, did you?" Chenxi opened his mouth and said, there was a feeling of coldness and heartache, but he said it behind my back, so I couldn't see any expression from him.
"You already knew he was coming to the Northern Desert, right?" I asked him angrily, he actually knew in the morning, why did he hide it from me, did he not believe me so much? Are you afraid that I will go to him and break off the connection with him?
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.
"Yes, I knew early on that he would come to the Northern Desert. I wanted to talk to you about it several times, but every time the words came to my lips, I couldn't help but say it, not because I didn't dare, but because I was afraid that you know? ”
I looked at him in astonishment, he has always been not afraid of anything, how could he be afraid of this matter? I don't understand.
"Why are you hiding it from me?" I asked, full of questions.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"I didn't mean to hide it from me, why didn't you tell me that he came to Qi Kingdom, if I didn't happen to meet him today, did you plan to never let me know."
Who knew that such an angry remark from me also made him angry.
"Tell you, did you just go to him?" He didn't look gentle at all when he was angry.
It was the first time he had lashed out at me.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
For a long time, we were silent for a long time, and finally he broke the silence.
"Bingxi, I just want you to be well, and I don't want to affect you again because of this person. You finally got better, and gradually got a smile, and I can't bear or want you to change back to what you used to be. ”
I listened quietly, just quietly.
"Maybe there is an arrangement in the dark, the more you hide it, God let you meet like this."
The more he calmed himself, the more I knew it was all the surface he had put up on himself, and it wasn't the truest expression of his heart.
However, perhaps it was this meeting that made me realize that I had already begun to let go, forget the past, and start anew. It was this insight that made me understand the importance of the man in front of me to me.
Although I care a lot in my heart, what I care about is not that I met Qi Junxuan today, but that I care about Chenxi's distrust of me. I said I wanted to be honest, but he hid it from me and didn't let me know. And making so many excuses that it is for my own good, is obviously cheating.
"After all, you just don't trust me? Didn't you say you would be honest with each other? Did you do it? No. "This is the first time I have quarreled with him, for the sake of others, for the sake of mutual distrust, I finished talking and ran back to my house alone, ignoring his explanation.
