Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rumors
After returning from the western suburbs, Yu Ruoxu has been dreaming the same dream over and over again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's the familiar Hechuan Academy again, the familiar table and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, everything seems to be back to when she was fourteen years old, she just entered Yue Chengxiang's door, Yue Zirong often has a straight face, hating iron and steel to teach the naughty Zheng Bingjie. Like the rest of her brothers, she buried her face in the book, covered her mouth and snickered.
As soon as the picture turned, it seemed that I had arrived at the training ground in the back mountain again. She was born with a good archery, almost no missing arrows, often one arrow can hit the birds that are speeding through the sky, and later learned to fire two arrows, two arrows one after the other whistling away, so that the prey has no room to escape.
The eyes of the senior brothers were straight, and Zheng Bingjie even came up to her and said with a hippie smile, "Senior sister, why are you so powerful?" Senior brother, I can't even draw a bow, or you teach me, otherwise Senior Brother Zirong will come to train me again......"
Yu Ruoxu saw Yue Zirong walking from a distance with a tense face, and couldn't help but smile, "If you have time to come and talk to me, it's better to go to the shooting range to practice more, you can draw the bow, and if you don't pull it well, it's just related to arm strength, how do I teach you?" “
Zheng Bingjie pouted, "Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zirong have been staying for a long time, and even the tone of their voice has become almost the same." “
Yu Ruoxu choked for a while, but the roots of his ears were quietly dyed red, "What are you talking nonsense again!" “
"Where am I talking nonsense?!" Zheng Bingjie saw her with a shy expression, and suddenly became playful, "I look at you, I revolve around Senior Brother Zirong every day, and Senior Brother Zirong is only gentle to you alone, and he is ......fierce to us."
"Zheng Bingjie!"
Zheng Bingjie seemed to have heard some terrible spell, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around, and even stumbled when he spoke, "Senior Brother Zirong......"
Yue Zirong had a thin layer of anger on his face, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go back to practice?! “
When Zheng Bingjie heard this, he didn't even have time to reply, he turned around and ran away, and he couldn't see his figure as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
"Senior brother is too strict." Yu Ruoxu sighed, but there was a smile in his eyes, "He is still young, and it is normal for him to be careful." “
Zheng Bingjie came to the academy half a year earlier than Yu Ruoxu, but his actual age was more than a year younger than her.
Yue Zirong didn't care, and pointed to a light cyan figure in the distance, "Look at Senior Brother Huaining, who is about the same age as him, why is he not so nonsense?!" “
Yu Ruoxu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a thin teenager practicing archery. Yu Ruoxu could only see his side face, he pursed his lips tightly, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, but there was a coldness in his focused eyes that was beyond his peers.
"Whoosh-"
He let go of his bow, and the feathered arrow flew straight towards the target.
"Senior Brother Huaining--Zhengzhong Heart-"
"Whew......" Yu Ruoxu woke up from her dream, sat up straight, and was so frightened that Xiu'er, who was taking a nap on the side, bounced up from the chair, "Miss woke up from a nap?" “
Yu Ruoxu had just woken up, and her head was still a little dizzy, "Hmm." ”
Xiu'er hurriedly brought a cup of tea and wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, "Miss is sweating so much, I'm afraid it's a nightmare, right?" ”
Yu Ruoxu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "No...... It's just a dream about what used to be. ”
She almost didn't remember Xiao Huaining, it was only later that Pei Changyuan came to Yu Mansion to be a guard, and she heard a little about him. She only remembered that he was a taciturn man who hardly participated in any of the academy's activities, so much so that she had no impression of him.
But the man in blue in the Cloud Temple...... and the silent figure in the impression gradually coincided.
She vaguely felt like it, but she didn't dare to confirm it, so she only buried her guess in her heart. But at night, she would dream about Tsurukawa Academy over and over again, so that she sometimes couldn't tell where she was.
Since she made a marriage contract with Liang Jin, she has never dreamed of Yue Zirong again.
"Miss, the Queen Mother will hold a hundred flowers banquet in Shouning Palace the day after tomorrow, we are almost ready now, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" Xiu'er saw that she looked uncertain, and hurriedly changed the topic.
Yu Ruoxu rubbed her temples, "That's right...... I almost forgot about it. “
She and Liang Jin were assassinated in the western suburbs and returned to Beijing, Liang Jin recuperated in the Hou Mansion, Yu Ruoxu was hindered by his identity, and could only visit occasionally, but fortunately Liang Jin only suffered some skin injuries, and after the fever subsided, he got better day by day.
When she went to the Hou Mansion the day before yesterday, Liang Jin's wound had already scabbed, and when he went, he was changing the dressing, his left shoulder and arm were exposed, and Yu Ruoxu was standing at the door with a red face, neither in nor out.
"Ruoxu?" Liang Jin looked at her helpless appearance, and felt funny in her heart, "What are you doing standing there?" Come on in. “
Yu Ruoxu looked at him frankly, and he didn't want to twist too much, so he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at his wounds carefully, "New flesh has grown...... It looks like it's going to be almost good. “
Liang Jin's arms and shoulders were whiter than the skin color on his face, and in addition to the fox's scratches, there were also some old sword wounds, which looked a little shocking against the background of his skin color. In particular, a long scar that winds down from the left shoulder, and I don't know where the end is.
"Ruo Xu......" Liang Jin said in a low voice, "My gauze is loose, can you help me get it again?" ”
Yu Ruoxu came back to her senses and found that the imperial doctor who had changed the dressing had disappeared, while Liang Jin was leaning on the head of the bed, pointing to the newly changed gauze on her shoulder with her right hand, and looking at her with a smile on her face.
She felt that Liang Jin was the worst when she was playing tricks on people, she obviously looked like a breeze and a bright moon, and the words she said made her ashamed, "It's tied so well, where is it loose?" ”
“…… It's not loose, it's a little tight, and it hurts my wound. Liang Jin immediately changed his tone, "You can help me take a look, it hurts me uncomfortably." ”
He frowned, as if he was trying to hold back the pain.
Yu Ruoxu was helpless, so she had to lightly open the gauze and saw that the wound was coated with ointment to remove saprophytic muscle, but the position of the gauze was slightly wrong, and a small part of the wound was not dressed. She sighed and blew softly into the wound, "Is this better?" ”
Liang Jin was so close to her, seeing her eyelashes trembling, puffing out his cheeks and exhaling softly, like a baby's little hand brushing his left shoulder, he couldn't help but tighten his throat, "...... It's better. ”
Yu Ruoxu chuckled, aimed the gauze at the wound, and carefully retied it with a bandage, "In the future, I won't come in when you change the dressing, so you won't have to squeeze your eyebrows at the imperial doctor again, urging others to leave quickly, and then blame the imperial doctor for not getting it for you." “
Liang Jin had a surprised expression on his face, "Ruoxu, do you have eyes on the back of your head?" How do you know what I do? “
Yu Ruoxu couldn't help laughing, "Not only do I have eyes on the back of my head, but I also have eyes on the top of my head, so don't do anything bad behind my back in the future." “
Liang Jin sighed and smiled wryly, "No wonder Yuanzhao told me that once a woman becomes a pro, her combat strength is comparable to that of thousands of troops, I didn't understand what it meant at the time, so it turned out to be like this." “
Yu Ruoxu glanced at him, "Lord Shizi, why don't you go to the door before the girl has passed the door, let's go to the Hou Ye to make it clear and withdraw this family business?" “
"Eh, don't......" Liang Jin heard her say that, and hurriedly raised his hand to surrender, "If I'm wrong, don't take it to heart...... On the table, there is a preserved fruit just sent from Fujian today, which is very sweet, do you want to try it? ”
Yu Ruoxu couldn't cry or laugh, but she still had a tight face, "I don't like sweets." “
Liang Jin was anxious at this time, and sat up from the bed with a gesture, but he didn't know what to say, and he seemed a little in a hurry, "That's ......"
This person...... Still won't coax people.
"Lie down, sit up in such a hurry, be careful to open the wound again." Yu Ruoxu laughed out loud, "You......"
Liang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently lay back again, there was silence between the two for a long time, and Liang Jin suddenly chuckled a few times, "Ruoxu, it's good that we will always be like this in the future." ”
"Huh?"
"No matter where you go, you have to stay by my side, chatting like this, whether you are angry with me, beating me and scolding me, as long as you are here, I feel satisfied."
Yu Ruoxu smiled softly, "Okay." ”
However, she clearly felt that there was something unusual in the capital.
Because Liang Jin was assassinated twice, the Marquis of Dingyuan was furious and sent many secret guards to investigate, but the most suspicious little emperor did not leave any handle, but the first to be suspected was the mainstay of the opposition to the abolition of the imperial examination - Zou Lijian, the secretary of the ministry.
Yu Zhongjun was a little worried, and the Marquis of Dingyuan would take advantage of the assassination of the prince to cut off dissidents.
As a result, the day after Yu Ruoxu returned from the Hou Mansion, Zou Lijian was imprisoned for the crime of great rebellion.
And the proof of the great rebellion is a poem he wrote before-
The rope sawn wood will break, and when will the gold and stone be opened. (To be continued.) )
