Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Rain Curtain
Miao Zhi and Xiang Yan finished shopping for a few blacksmithing shops on the main street in Xinjin City, and finally had a bottom in their hearts, and the January deadline given by Bei'an Huang was really long enough.
The night is as quiet as water, the soft white moonlight spreads in the small courtyard, and the faint breeze is wrapped with the fragrance of wisps of flowers.
Miao Zhi, who should have been asleep, couldn't sleep now, so she only put on a thin cloak and walked out of the room.
Walking to the edge of the fish pond, she folded a few small flowers, and Miao Zhi pondered while pulling the petals.
It's almost a month since I came here, but I'm dozens of times more tired than I am in modern times, and the first thing the nurse who loves me said was to be careful of my own mother.
Inexplicably, she also carried the imperial decree of firing glass bottles, and it seemed that there was always a huge net that kept her firmly in it, and every step was like walking on thin ice.
At some point, a dark cloud drifted in the sky, covering most of the white moon, and a light rain as thin as a cow's hair fell from the sky.
The slender jade hand took a few drops of rain, and the pink lilac tongue licked it on the soft palm, as if there was a kind of sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue, Miao Zhi sneered, amused by her somewhat stupid behavior.
The cow drizzle became heavier and heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops became a little cold under the cool breeze, she tightened the cloak on her body, and couldn't help rubbing her palms back and forth, even the breath from her small mouth could see a trace of white mist. It seemed that it was really not suitable to stay in the courtyard for too long, and then a pair of white and tender little feet with embroidered shoes hurried into the house.
Not long after lying down, Miao Zhi seemed to have fallen into a light sleep, and two white shadows quietly came to her bedside. Miao Zhi, who was a little confused, was excited, and just wanted to get up, she suddenly found that she couldn't move at all, her heavy eyelids seemed to be pressing on a thousand pounds of boulders, and she still couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried. Even the lips seem to be covered with layers of paste, let alone shouting.
"Master, I gave a small amount of medicine to the people in the young lady's courtyard so as not to be detected like last time." A low female voice struck her ears, and the people on the bed struggled to prick up their ears to listen.
"Got it, Tuanori." Another female voice, the voice is like a spring breeze in March, soft and delicate, tickling people's hearts.
The woman who was frozen on the bed couldn't do anything at the moment, she could only cheer up and listen carefully, she had countless questions and speculations in her heart, just like ten thousand wild horses galloping by, good and bad, all brushing the sensitive nerves in an instant.
Woman? Who the hell are they? They call me Miss, could it be that the previous deity knew me?
Miao Zhi was thinking nonsense, while silently reciting the scriptures in her heart, Amitabha, whether it is in the previous life or this life, she is a pure and kind good citizen, don't kill me, I haven't lived enough.
She thought in her heart, and heard the woman murmur again: "I just miss Zhi'er so much, and I have to bother you to take the risk of coming to this bachelor's mansion with me." ”
Miao Zhi felt a slender and soft palm attached to her face, rubbing back and forth. There is a delicate and fresh fragrance between the noses, not like the fragrance of flowers, but more than it. The smell is sweet, and people will feel good when they smell it.
Miao Zhi's tense nerves seemed to be disintegrated inch by inch by the fragrance, and even the nervous mood disappeared.
"Zhi'er, my mother has come to see you. Mother knows that you also miss mother, right? It's my mother who is sorry for you, and my mother also has a last resort, so she will let you live here alone. She couldn't stop muttering to the woman on the bed, her voice full of longing and deep guilt.
"However, my mother promised you, in another year, no, half a year, my mother will take you back to my mother's side, okay? Zhi'er, okay? ”
There was a hint of hesitation in his tone, but he couldn't wait. "When the time comes, don't you want me as a mother."
As she spoke, the woman seemed to be a little unable to help herself, holding Miaozhi's hand tightly and sobbing quietly.
After listening to the woman's words, Miao Zhi's heart was like a storm and waves swept by, she tried very hard to open her eyes and look at the woman who claimed to be her mother next to the bed, but after all, she couldn't resist the wave after wave of drowsiness, so she fell asleep so deeply.
"Master, it's time to go, we still have to find out the whereabouts of Aunt Xiu. In addition, tonight I have to go to the village outside the city to see if Ling Shuirong's mother has been there. ”
Frost nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, hung up the tulle between her ears, and disappeared into the vast night with Tuanori.
As soon as they left, they saw a black shadow flying away from a tree in the corner of the courtyard, carrying a fine rain silk to the "Yuan Mansion" in the north of the city.
The young man with the bandage on his right arm slowly pushed the wooden wheelchair out of the room, the injury and poisonous hair of the previous day made Yuan Hongxuan's vitality greatly damaged, his resolute and handsome face was a little pale, and his thin lips were lightly opened.
"Say it."
The black-clothed man who had been waiting by the door for a long time knelt on one knee and hurriedly explained what he saw in the bachelor's mansion last night to Yuan Hongxuan.
Yuan Hongxuan listened carefully, his slender fingers tapped the armrest of the wheelchair down, and the corners of his lips tightened.
"Okay, I know, if there is any movement over there, I'll come back and report it as soon as possible, if there is anything urgent, don't wait like this time, just let the seven guards wake me up, go down."
"Yes, the little one knows." After the man in black finished speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had not appeared in the courtyard just now.
Two women? got drugged, but didn't make a deeper move. According to the reply just now, I just said that I vaguely heard something like "mother's kiss", what is it?
Yuan Hongxuan frowned, and his mind was full of suspicions. He thought of the woman like a dazzling sunshine again, gently shallow, and unconsciously entered his heart.
Mandarin Pavilion, Miao Zhi woke up to the sound of a flock of birds "chirping", she opened her eyes, although she was really unable to cope with the surging sleepiness last night, but what the woman said in front of her was really imprinted in her mind.
For such a long time, she had always suspected in her heart that Ling Shuirong might not be the mother of Xian Miaozhi, but because she couldn't find any reason to refute it, she had to force herself to stop thinking nonsense.
The tone of the woman's grievances and thoughts that she had only heard last night did not seem like she was lying, and besides, her subordinates only drugged everyone, which showed that the woman did not want others to find out.
The more Miao Zhi thought about it, the more she had a headache, "Alas, forget it." I don't want to, with my IQ, I guess I can't figure it out if I want to break my head. ”
She tauntingly tapped her head, stretched her waist, and walked step by step.
