Chapter 90: Some People Rejoice and Some People Worry
Night is the end of the day.
Su Qi sat alone on the roof, looking up at the sky, the sky was full of stars, twinkling, looking close in front of him, but it was actually so far away. For some reason, he pointed at a star and reached out, trying to grab a little light, but only the night breeze passed by, wrapping and kissing his slender fingers.
It's warm, it's almost summer.
This star, like today's junior sister, is obviously close in front of her, but she has never been able to enter her heart. Sometimes there is endless tenderness in the eyes, and sometimes it is terrifyingly cold. However, no matter how heartless the words she spoke, she could always see through the contradictions in her heart from her tense nerves, so she learned to ignore those hurtful words, and no longer forced her, just watched so quietly, so stupidly looking forward to it......
Lowered his head and let his eyes go away, at the end was Tingyuxuan, Xia Xue'er's room. The night was deep, and the dim candlelight spread through the thin window paper of the cicadas, melting into the boundless darkness.
I wonder if she's awake......
In the main room of Yuxuan, Xia Xue'er was still asleep on the sandalwood bed, softly sinking most of her body. Unlike before, his face had faded from a sickly paleness, and his cheeks had risen two flushes, as seductive as ripe cherries; The frowning brow has also been loosened, like a mountain peak in the mist, faintly verdant; The corners of the plump lips slowly rose at a slight angle, and finally froze in the most beautiful state.
Xianglan, who had been guarding the bedside, finally fell after seeing this scene, Xia Xue'er dreamed, it seems that it was still a good dream!
Cuizhu tiptoed in, glanced at the bed and whispered, "Miss's complexion seems to be much better." โ
Xianglan stretched out her hand to gently rub her already stiff waist, and said with a smile while looking back and pretending to be relaxed: "Yes, it's finally better." โ
Yu Guang glanced at the wooden box in Cuizhu's hand and asked, "What is in your hand?" โ
"Oh," Cuizhu looked at the beautifully carved wooden box in his hand, and replied softly: "This is the ambergris sent by Mu Gongzi, which has the effect of helping sleep, so that the young lady can sleep peacefully." After that, clean up the ashes left over from the incense burner, skillfully take out two spoonfuls with a small spoon and pour them into it, and then gently close the lid of the incense burner. After a while, the curling green smoke drifted out along the hollow wall of the incense burner, and the quiet and elegant aroma instantly spread to every corner of the house, like a peaceful and tranquil breath flowing slowly, invading the heart and spleen while comforting every restless heart.
Standing up, she glanced at Dongmei, who was already lying on the edge of the bed and was asleep, smiled slightly, and tiptoed outside, she needed to change her breath of fresh air, empty her mind, and some things needed to be pondered.
Su Qi, who was on the roof in the distance, had been staring at the candlelit window of Xia Xue'er's room for a long time, resisting the urge to go down and check it out for himself, stood up and wanted to fly away, but his sensitive hearing caught a sound of opening the door at that moment. The long but not crisp "creaking" sound reveals the caution of the person who opened the door, but it is particularly harsh in this dead night.
Looking fixedly, a girl in purple strode out of the room, only standing under the porch and looking up in the direction where she was, her eyes blazing. Although they were far apart, Su Qi still felt the familiarity when they looked at each other, it was Xianglan!
"Senior brother."
Su Qi nodded slightly, looked at Xianglan, who had fallen in front of him, and opened his mouth, but he never made any sound. I couldn't help laughing at myself in my heart, so why bother? Just looking at Xianglan's expression, I already had the answer in my heart.
"In the evening, the doctor came to visit, and the young lady also took the medicine, and now the situation is much better, you don't have to worry." Xianglan knew that Su Qi was standing here late at night because she couldn't let go of Miss's injury in her heart, so she comforted her intimately.
After hearing this, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in his heart finally let go of half of it, and half of it was estimated that it would be hung all the time, and he was already used to this kind of care.
"But what is the reason?"
"Hey~ It's still the same!"
Xianglan sighed and replied, then took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve robe and handed them to Su Qi, explaining: "These are two prescriptions, please take them back to Senior Brother Zhang to see if there is anything wrong."
Su Qi took the prescription, opened it and took a look, one dragon flying and phoenix dancing, at a glance, he knew that it was from the hand of the imperial doctor, and the other font Juanxiu, not just who wrote it, looked at Xianglan suspiciously, but Xianglan didn't open her mouth to explain, just shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't want him to know, or there was no need to say it.
"Oh, and," Cuizhu patted her head, almost forgetting the most important thing, since she met Senior Brother Su, it would save her from going to the Netherworld Valley again! Besides, now that the young lady has been blocked from the meridians, she often has to be followed by someone with good skills, and she is not at ease to leave. So he said: "In the afternoon, Young Master Zhuxuan just came to inform Miss that Dengxian Tower is fine, and Uncle Rong will be released soon."
Although I don't know when Uncle Rong will be released, listening to the tone of Zhu Xuan's speech in the afternoon, it seems that the emperor is biting this matter, and I don't know what method Mu Feiyang used, but it was able to loosen up so quickly, no matter what, it is a good thing.
Su Qi had a bright light in his eyes after hearing this, but he didn't show too much surprise, he only nodded and said, "Got it." He has always trusted his sister 100% in doing things, although this matter is much faster than he imagined.
Shizun was furious after knowing that his sister ventured back to the city alone, and he was very worried, but under the persuasion of all the uncles and brothers, he finally resisted the urge to lurk in, and now the whole valley is waiting solemnly, only looking at the direction of the development of the situation, and he is really worried about the junior sister so he went to ask for the master, I don't want the master to have the same idea, he is forced to sit in the valley because of his identity, and he can sneak into the city, anyway, no one knows this face! Now that I have learned the news, I should tell Master Sรน as soon as possible!
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Xianglan Dao: "Don't tell Senior Sister Sรน about what I've been here."
"Why?"
Pandan was puzzled. When Miss was in trouble, Senior Brother Su Qi suddenly came, isn't it a good thing for a hero to save beauty? Miss will definitely be moved in her heart when she knows it, and her good impression of Su Qi will also deepen, isn't this what she needs at the moment? Why can't you sue her yet?!
However, Su Qi just said softly: "I don't want her to be angry." Then he flew away, and for a moment, he was gone, as if he had never appeared.
When the junior sister left Taoyuan, she deliberately explained that Senior Brother Zhang took care of herself, and she also promised her that she would be fine, but now she not only sneaked out without telling Senior Brother Zhang, but also entered the Xia Mansion in broad daylight, although no one saw it, and she was forced to do so, but after the senior sister knew it, she would inevitably worry about getting angry, it was already bitter enough, so why let her know it and get angry in vain? !
Xianglan didn't know the reason, so she only pouted towards the place where Su Qi was standing, and a sigh slipped out unconsciously.
Once upon a time, the young lady was no less skilled than her, and it was more appropriate for her to stay by her side than to protect her. In this mixed imperial capital, they never care about the troubles from the outside world, nor are they worried about the challenges that they can't avoid, no matter what, the two can face it together. Their partner is the trust who can give their back to each other, and it is a lifelong friendship!
But since last year, this feeling has changed imperceptibly. In the past, no matter what happened, as long as she decided, she could accompany her to do it without any worries. And now, the young lady not only acts forward-looking, without the ability and decisiveness of the past, but also prefers to take a lot of detours than to tell her to make a move, is it distrustful or afraid of losing?!
Take Bai Yining's case as an example, it's a miracle that Miss can live so long and comfortably after doing so many bad things!
I don't know what the hell is she hesitating about?!
I can't figure it out, I can't guess it. Those eyes are no longer as clear as before, deep and tranquil like an old pool in the mountains. I simply didn't want to do anything, and I also learned from Senior Brother Su Qi, sitting on this roof, quietly watching the stars for a while.
What a night! A bright moon hangs above the nine heavens, accompanied by the stars, dancing with the night. The starlight was scattered in the dark sky like chess pieces, and the night wind passed slowly, blowing away the clouds, but it could not blow away the swarm of stars, and could not blow away the moonlight as clear as water.
It's just a little colder......
I don't know how many times later, the originally slim woman is now lying on her back on the roof. His eyes were closed, as peaceful as a statue with a graceful figure, and if it weren't for the even breathing that made the still air tremble slightly, no one would have noticed that there was a living thing here!
Suddenly, Xianglan opened her closed eyes, and her bright eyes instantly became cold and beautiful, and her eyes followed the white dove that had just passed overhead, as if she wanted to shoot it down with her eyes. And the white dove also seemed to feel the strong murderous aura below, knowing that the danger was approaching, it quickly turned around, flapped its wings and fled from this ominous place, and its elegant body slid across the sky, shooting into the distance like a line, and finally disappeared.
Xianglan squinted her eyes and turned her head, looking in a certain direction of Xia Mansion, where the white dove had just flown out, her eyes were full of unpredictable colors, and she seemed to be excited, but also seemed to be very bland.
"Bai Yining, this is what you asked for, Miss is indecisive, but it doesn't mean that I will be merciful!"
He muttered in his mouth, and his face was ruthless that he had never seen before. The glowing eyes seemed to tear the night apart, and even the moon hid behind the clouds.
The humiliation of the master is the incompetence of the slave, I don't remember who said this, but Xianglan agrees very much. She didn't sell her body to press in Xia Mansion, although she and Xia Xue'er are not masters and servants in the real sense, but she has followed her for so many years, I have seen her gallop the rivers and lakes with a sword, famous all over the world, and I have also seen her well-behaved and cute, around her father's knees, but I have never seen her suffer such a grievance, she can neither speak nor fight back, it can be described as a wretch! She didn't mean that Xia Xue'er was a wretch, she could understand her kindness, but she couldn't swallow this breath anyway!
Jianghu people can not want anything, but they can't do without the backbone of this body!
There was another sound of birds flying across the night sky, Xianglan quickly came back to her senses, and a pair of sharp eyes chased away, it was a pigeon again!
The gray bird feathers are flamboyant and depressed, and they seem to reveal a dark aura all over their bodies. Pandan stared at the dove that flew southwest to the southwest, getting smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared into darkness and disappeared from sight, and could not recover for a long time. Unconsciously bit his lip, frowned, and a wave of uneasiness came to his mind.
Although she didn't see where the carrier pigeon flew from, she also knew that it was not released by Bai Yining. Because the breath of the dove was completely different from the previous one, and it would not be an exaggeration to compare it to a messenger from hell!
There was a "buzzing" sound in addition to the sound of "popping" flapping wings, which Xianglan knew was the unique sound of a pigeon's whistle.
Pigeon breeders like to hang a beautiful pigeon whistle at the tail feather of the pigeon, the shape and material of the pigeon whistle are varied, the most common is made of reeds, bamboo and gourds. When the pigeon returns from afar, the whistle will be different from the angle of the wind, especially when the flock is rotating left and right, the change of sound is more obvious and pleasant. Occasionally, the flock descends from a high and plummets, and suddenly the whistle is in unison, and the whistle is repeated, and the pause makes people feel that "silence is better than sound at this time". Watching the whistle in the blue sky is a pleasure for both the pigeon breeder and the listener, and it is also a way for the rich and noble to have fun.
It's just that now it's almost time, who would let go of the pigeons in the middle of the night without sleeping, just to listen to the whistle? And the timing of the pigeon's release was too coincidental, not long after Bai Yining. Xianglan couldn't help but think of what had happened around her in recent days.
Who the hell is it?
The eyes were always fixed on the place where the pigeon had disappeared, which was the southwest direction surrounded by mountains, and although it was long since he could see the figure soaring in the sky, he still seemed to be able to hear the loud whistle in the sky, and for a moment he only felt the sound of the wind.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night, some people are happy, and some people are sad.
