Chapter 125: Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Fog (5)
As the night deepened, the vast sky was dotted with a few cold stars, and the bleak wind floated in the silent cold current, occasionally sweeping down the remnants of snow between the tiles in the eaves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the withered lotus pond, a pool of clear water froze into an ice mirror in the wind, and the frost and cold air gradually deepened.
In the inner courtyard of the imperial city, the lights are still as bright as ever, and today's Shaohua Palace seems to be much more lively than other palaces.
Shen Yu has been staying in Shaohua Palace since he entered the palace in the afternoon, and at this moment, his heart is undoubtedly broken. He looked at the cup of hot tea personally served by the Lord of Lanke in front of him, and his smiling face was mixed with unspeakable pain. He found that the county lord, whom he hadn't seen for a few years, was even more delicate and willful than before, and he actually took advantage of the emperor's departure to drag him down, not caring about his reputation at all, which was unheard of......
Ignoring Shen Yu's helplessness, the county lord of Lanke diligently ordered someone to send a few plates of exquisite pastries, and personally stuffed a hand warmer into his hand, his simple and harmless eyes were full of sweet smiles.
As soon as she sat down, she affectionately grabbed his arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Yu, can you often come to the palace to see Ke'er in the future?" ”
"Don't embarrass me, the county lord, I'm always an outsider, and I can't enter the palace without the emperor's summons." Shen Yu shook his head in embarrassment, twisted the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Why not...... Lord Lanke pouted unhappily: "Then Ke'er will go and beg the imperial brother to summon you into the palace every day to accompany me!" ”
Shen Yu almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, he put down the teacup, and said helplessly: "My lord of the county, this is a rule set by the royal family for thousands of years, how can it be such a child's play?" ”
"But what should I do if Ke'er wants to see you?" Lord Lanke shrugged his head, almost leaning on his shoulder, and the sound sounded like he was about to cry.
"I don't know about this, the county lord should go back and ask your royal brother." Shen Yu was embarrassed, but he had to let her hold him, he was just a little girl, he couldn't really make her cry, right? The family is also the county lord, and the status is noble.
"Brother Jade."
"Yes."
"Why don't you call me Lanke the way you used to?"
"Because you're the county lord."
"Then I used to be the county lord?"
“……”
Shen Yu clenched the white jade teacup in her hand tightly, her heart was on the verge of collapse, she was the county lord again, and she couldn't be easily offended. He must have owed this little girl a debt in his previous life, and he came to torture him like this in this life.
He looked out of the window helplessly, only to see that the night was like iron, and his mood sank with the night, it seemed that he would not be able to get out of the palace today anyway.
The frost outside the palace is freezing, and there are people in the palace who cook hot tea. When it seemed so quiet and warm, Shen Yu couldn't help but think of another person, I don't know where she is in the imperial city now, and whether she is safe and sound?
He thought about how nice it would be if the person he was sitting with at this time and gossiping with her. It's a pity that these are just illusions of his imagination.
When Gong Ling came to Shaohua Palace, his good sister was dragging her longing Brother Yu and not letting go, he suddenly darkened his face, he didn't care about Lan Ke's bitter face and pretending to be pitiful, and he took Shen Yu out of Shaohua Palace.
Outside the Huaqing Palace, the two stood in the wind in the night, and the eunuchs and palace maids who served were waiting far away, not daring to slack off.
Feeling the cold brought by the dark night, Gong Ling turned his eyes to look at the person standing beside him, and said, "In the past few years since you disappeared, Lan Ke is about to be spoiled by me and become lawless, don't be surprised." ”
Shen Yu shook his head, "The emperor doesn't have to mind, the county lord of Lanke has been this temperament since he was a child, I understand." ”
"Presumably you know Lan Ke's mind very well, if you also mean this, maybe I will consider it properly......" When Gong Ling said this, her eyes looked at the long night, and there was a slight wavering in her expression.
If it was for Lanke, he would have made as many concessions as possible.
"Presumably the emperor can also see that my mind is not here." Shen Yu shook his head, and looked at the long night like Gong Ling, and answered very simply, without a trace of hesitation.
"I knew you would say that, but I pity Lan Ke, she has been focusing on you all these years." Gong Ling said, her tone was full of helplessness and regret, he was such a sister, and he was reluctant to break her heart no matter what, but the person next to him didn't have this idea.
Hearing the helplessness in Gong Ling's words, Shen Yu suddenly felt a trace of guilt.
The two were silent for a moment before he opened his mouth lightly, "The county lord has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there are only a few people who can usually be seen, she just temporarily mistook me for the object of dependence, and when she comes into contact with someone she really likes, she will understand." ”
"I hope so." Gong Ling reluctantly agreed with his point of view, looked back at him and said, "It's late at night, I have ordered someone to prepare a place for you to live, and I will let the minions take you over in a while, and go out of the palace early tomorrow morning." ”
"Understood, thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yu said.
However, although he said thank you, he felt that this thank you was really unnecessary in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that his spoiled imperial sister was pestering him in every way, he would not have to stay in the palace for the night, in the final analysis, it was not the emperor who harmed him.
The two little eunuchs were holding the lamp in front, followed by four palace maids, and Shen Yu walked for at least half an hour before he reached the side hall that Gong Ling had prepared for him. It is said that it is really against the palace rules to ask him to stay overnight as an outsider, so Gong Ling chose a remote place for him, so that no one would pay attention.
He was full of helplessness, and for the first time in his life, he stayed in the palace, and it seemed that he couldn't sleep tonight. Just as he sighed, he caught a glimpse of two figures, one black and one white, walking towards this place from a distance, looking dressed and dressed, they didn't look like people in the palace.
He squinted slightly, as if he had lost his mind, and stood in front of the hall and watched from afar.
Needless to say, the man in black seemed to be Qi Yu, the guard beside Gong Ling, and the man in white ...... The more he looked at that figure and posture, the more familiar it became, as if the man's shadow had been engraved on his heart.
No, it's Allure!
He was shocked, and in an instant, he moved to a hidden place to hide, and the eunuchs and palace maids who followed him were surprised, and felt inexplicable about his sudden reaction, and looked around, did Lord Nangong see what could scare him like this?
Duan Chengcheng followed the black-clothed guard Qi Yu in the direction of the Shenji Camp, but the strange wind that swept through her ears made her suspicious.
She stopped, because just now, she seemed to feel someone flashing in front of her, and that breath was still a little familiar, was it an illusion?
"What's wrong?" Qi Yu saw her stop inexplicably and asked in a low voice.
She stared silently at the few eunuchs and palace maids in front of her, and shook her head after a moment, "It's nothing." ”
"Let's go, there's the Divine Machine Camp ahead." Qi Yu urged on the side.
"Yes." She nodded suspiciously.
The two of them didn't pay attention to the people who stayed here, but went straight to the Shenji Camp, and disappeared into the darkness for a moment.
Feeling that after the two of them walked away, Shen Yu appeared from the secret place, he didn't expect that he only remembered her in Shaohua Palace a moment ago, and now he found her whereabouts. He thought that it was really dangerous just now, if she found out that he had a deep relationship with the palace, according to the temperament of Allure, something big would definitely happen.
But why did she walk with Qiyu? And they went in the direction of the Shenji Battalion, could it be......
His face changed, and a bad premonition arose. According to his understanding of Allure and Gong Ling, there are no more than two possibilities at the moment.
One is that Allure was suspected of being arrested, but seeing that Qi Yu's reaction to her was not very similar, and the two of them went to the direction of the Shenji Camp at the same time, there was only the second possibility...... (To be continued.) )
