Chapter VIII
This plausible move to change the topic made Dark Cloud even more suspicious, "Brother Du, you sue Yun'er, is it because Yun'er is a secret guard that you want to alienate Yun'er?" β
Dongfang Du was stunned and looked at the dark cloud in front of him, who was obviously still a child but had a delicate and sensitive mind, was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head gently, "The first day I met you, you told me that you were a secret guard." The implication is not that Dark Cloud is a dark guard that alienates her.
"Then why ......"
"Okay Yun'er, go back quickly." Dongfang Du didn't want to say anything more to Dark Cloud.
Seeing that Dongfang Du seemed to be impatient on his face, Dark Cloud could only get up and say, "That... That Yun'er will come to see ...... tomorrow" Before he finished speaking, he heard Dongfang Du say: "You don't have to come tomorrow." β
"For ...... Why? "Dark Cloud bit his lip lightly, even he felt a little annoying to himself, and always asked so many whys, 'Does Brother Du hate me anymore?' looks pitiful, as if he has been abandoned.
"I'm leaving the palace tomorrow." Dongfang Du's cold voice explained, "During this time, you don't have to come to Fengqing Palace to find me. "I thought to myself, 'It's best not to come to me in the future, each of you will live your own life, you learn your secret guard duties and become a good secret guard in the future, I will be my prince, and I will become the emperor one day......
It turned out that Brother Du was going to leave the palace. Dark Cloud breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since it was because he left the palace that he didn't have to come to him, then Brother Du must have been in a bad mood because he was sick before, not because he made him disgusted, and then thought that Dongfang Du was still sick, and asked worriedly: "Brother Du, aren't you still sick?" Why are you leaving the palace tomorrow? β
'I asked another why, Brother Du, don't hate me...... As soon as Dark Cloud finished asking, he reacted and asked why again, and he could only pray silently in his heart, praying that Dongfang Du would not hate himself because he kept asking why.
Dongfang Du thought that today is the seventh day of the first month of November, and today will also pass, there is only one month left before the seventh day of the first month of December, even if he is sick, he has to find a way to save his mother's life in this month, so he can only choose to leave the palace tomorrow. Dongfang Du tried to recall what he was doing when he was fourteen years old in his previous life, and he couldn't seem to remember anything, obviously it had only been six years, why couldn't he remember anything?
Seeing that Dongfang Du seemed to be distracted, Dark Cloud whispered "Brother Du", Dongfang Du came back to his senses from his memories, looked up and saw that Dark Cloud was still there, and thought that the question asked by Dark Cloud had not been answered, so he slowly replied: "I want to go to Wuya Mountain to find my master." I have a fever for no reason, and although the doctor is fine, he is afraid that I am congenitally deficient and have a disease that the doctor cannot diagnose. β
Dongfang Du casually found an excuse to prevaricate, thought about it and added, "Tomorrow I will go to Emperor Ming and ask him to allow me to leave the palace for ten days." "I wondered if the ten days would be enough. It takes four days to go to Wuya Mountain, if you are fast, you should be able to arrive in three days, and you can count six days back and forth, and you can find your sister and brother in four days, I only hope that your sister and brother can stay in Wuya Mountain, otherwise, I am afraid that ten days will not be enough.
"Are you going to go that long?" Dark Cloud didn't know where the Cliffless Mountain in Dongfangdu's mouth was, and he didn't know how long it would take to go to Cliffless Mountain from the capital, but when he heard Dongfangdu say that he would leave the palace for ten days, he felt that it was a long time, and he would come to Fengqing Palace almost every day to find Dongfangdu, and if he couldn't see Dongfangdu for so long, he always felt a little unspeakable panic in his heart.
"I'm afraid that ten days is not enough, it's not too long." Dongfang Du replied coldly.
Dark Cloud thought for a while, took out a bird flute from his arms, handed it to Dongfang Du, and said, "Brother Du, this... Put this bird flute away, and if you are in danger, blow it. Seeing that Dongfang Du only stared at the bird flute in his hand but did not reach out to take it from his hand, his face was slightly red, and he put the bird flute next to Dongfang Du's pillow, "I...... I'm leaving. After speaking, he left the Fengqing Palace in Dongfang with a gust of wind.
Seeing that the dark cloud was gone, Dongfang Du slowly sat up with his hands on the bed, picked up the bird flute that the dark cloud placed next to his pillow, frowned, and wondered in his heart, "What does this mean by leaving me the bird flute?" Will it be that if I blow it, dark clouds will appear? Thinking that he had such an idea, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, "My danger has always been only you." β
Dongfang Du stared at the bird flute in his hand with his eyes, and his fingers gently stroked the three-inch-long bird flute over and over again, this bird flute was made of bamboo, and there seemed to be nothing special, the end of the flute was simply engraved with a cloud character, and nothing else, recalling his previous life, he spit out a sentence leisurely: "In my previous life, it seems that you never gave me a bird flute." Hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, in this life, some things seem to be different from the previous life.
On the second day, Dongfang Du changed into the prince's regular clothes and went to Zhaoxian Palace first. When the eunuch in front of Zhaoxian Palace saw that it was the second prince, his face was happy and worried: "Second prince, aren't you still sick?" How did you come to Concubine Xian Niangniang! The second prince is really filial, and the virtuous concubine is really a mother and son! The slave will go in and tell sΓΉ the virtuous concubine that you are here......"
"No need," Dongfang Du waved his hand at the little eunuch, "This palace goes directly to find the concubine, you continue to guard here." After speaking, he went directly into the palace, and saw that Concubine Xian was sitting on the couch drinking tea, Dongfang Du stepped forward and bowed and said, "Mother, the son has come to greet you." "How many years have I not asked my mother to say goodbye, Dongfang Du couldn't help but reddened when he thought of it, and he kept bending down and bowing his hand, forgetting to get up.
"Du'er, why are you here? Stop saluting! Sit down beside the concubine. Concubine Xian put down the teacup in her hand, patted the position beside her, and saw that Dongfang Du still had a stunned expression, so she got up and walked to Dongfang Duan, took her hand and took her to her couch.
The two sat down, but Concubine Xian still didn't let go of Dongfang Du's hand, and gently patted the back of Dongfang Du's hand with her other hand, and asked with a kind face: "Du'er, are you better today?" Did you start the fever again? As he spoke, he raised his hand and probed Dongfang's forehead.
"Mother, the son-in-law is fine." Dongfang Du gently took the hand that Concubine Xian placed in front of his forehead, "Mother, Erchen came today because I have something to tell you." β
As soon as Concubine Xian heard that her imperial son had something to tell her, she thought of Dongfangdu's idea of wanting to win the world, so she said to the palace maids and eunuchs beside her: "You all retreat first." β
After the palace maids and eunuchs, including her personal maid Leng Mei Ningzhu, also retreated, Concubine Xian asked, "What do you want to tell Concubine SΓΉ?" Concubine Xian looked at her emperor gently, "Do you want to discuss with your mother, or have you already decided to do it, just to inform your mother?" β
"Erchen is going out of the palace today, and I want to go to Wuya Mountain" Without waiting for Concubine Xian to ask why she went to Wuya Mountain, Dongfang Du directly said the reason why she went to Wuya Mountain, "Erchen wants to invite back the senior sister, and the senior sister will be a palace maid for a while, and the senior sister is by the mother's side to protect the mother, and the son-in-law can rest assured." β
"That's what happened." Concubine Xian's clenched heart let go slightly, and after a pause, she continued: "Emperor, why bother so much? The mother concubine has Leng Mei and Ning Zhu by her side, which is enough. β
"Mother, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, even if it is the two of them, the sons and daughters can't believe it. If they can really protect you, how can you ......" Dongfang Du was afraid of his crow's mouth, afraid that Concubine Xian would still not be able to escape a dead word in this life, so he was busy keeping his mouth shut.
