Chapter Forty-Six: Incense

Yu Ruoxu returned to the room and instructed Pei Changyuan outside the door, "You pay attention to the movements of the prince over there during your vigil these days, I'm worried that something will happen." ”

"The little one is written down." Pei Changyuan replied in a low voice.

Yu Ruoxu breathed a long sigh of relief and began to carefully look at the guest room that Liang Jin had prepared for her. The bedding was freshly replaced, clean towels and copper basins were placed on the shelves, and pen and ink were placed on the table. She couldn't help but smile, she could finally get a good night's sleep tonight.

"Miss Yu." Qiao Huanyan's voice came, "The prince has prepared hot water for Miss, saying that he can go to the bath and wash up at any time." ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, "Thank you for me." ”

Clean rooms are not far from the rooms. Yu Ruoxu withdrew from everyone and soaked herself in the bathtub, the warm water soaked her skin, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes. Unexpectedly, Liang Jin thought so thoughtfully, seeing that she had been in the dust all the way and urgently needed to take a hot bath, so he prepared hot water for her silently.

After taking a bath, she walked out of the clean room with her wet hair wrapped in a silk handkerchief, and was stunned when she saw the scenery in front of her.

I don't know when it snowed, and the pure white snowflakes fell one after another, and the yard was suddenly paved with white expanse. When the full moon is in the sky, the bright moonlight is scattered all over the ground, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the crystal snow light or the clear moonlight. Looking at the horizon, it seems that you can still see the majestic outline of Yanshan. Yu Ruoxu wrapped her cloak tightly, slowly walked towards the guest room, and finally stood at the door of the room, looking at the snow scene in front of her, as if she was stunned.

She seems to be able to understand Liang Jin's words-

Just think I want to see the snow scene in Liaodong.

"Miss Yu is also enjoying the snow?" Liang Jin's voice was low, slightly nasal, "Although the snow scene is good, but standing outside with wet hair like this, if you get caught by the wind cold, it will be worth the loss." ”

Yu Ruo looked back suddenly, only to see him wearing a royal blue cloak, standing a few steps away from her, his dark pupils flashing with an unpredictable light.

Seeing that she was still looking at him in a daze, Liang Jin couldn't help but sigh and stretched out his hand to pull her into the room. There was a brazier in the room, and the heat on her face made her can't help but sneeze several times in a row.

Liang Jin gently pressed her on the chair, took off the silk handkerchief on her head, and wiped her hair with a clean handkerchief, "The climate in Liaodong is cold, and you have just taken a bath, so you are cold and hot, and you stand on the tuyere with wet hair, which is especially easy to catch the wind." ”

Yu Ruoxu saw him standing behind her, and naturally helped her wipe her hair, her face became hot with a "Teng" sound, and she stammered, "Lord Shizi, the daughter of the people...... The folk girl should come by herself. ”

Liang Jin couldn't help but smile when she saw that her expression was quite unnatural, but the movements of her hands did not stop, "Your hair is so many and long, it is inconvenient to make it yourself." You've been on the road for a few days and don't want to get an early break tonight? ”

Yu Ruoxu was silent, he ...... Still worried about her old wounds.

She couldn't lift her right shoulder, and she couldn't wipe her hair with two hands. If you only use your left hand, you don't know how long it will take.

"Thank you, Lord Shizi." Yu Ruoxu bit her lower lip, "The prince doesn't have to take care of the people's daughters so much." ”

Liang Jin was stunned, and the movements in his hands paused, "Don't think about it." I'm not taking pity on you, nor am I trying to repay you. You're my confidant, and you should know what I mean. ”

Yu Ruoxu raised her head and saw Liang Jin in the rhombic mirror bending slightly, her slender fingers interspersed between her wet black hair, and her movements were gentle as if she was wiping a treasure, "Lord Shizi, the ...... of the people's daughter"

"Will you promise me one thing?" Liang Jin said suddenly.

"What?"

"In the future, if there are only two of us, don't call the prince and the people's daughter." Liang Jin said lightly, "Just call me by my name." I'll call you by your name too, okay? ”

"This ......" Yu Ruoxu's eyes widened, "how can this be ......"

"I don't like to see you so restrained in front of me." As if he remembered something, Liang Jin smiled in a low voice, "I still remember the day of Lord Yu's wedding, I wanted to have a few drinks with you, but I didn't expect you to get drunk." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, he continued, "You probably don't remember, right? You were so drunk that you had completely forgotten your status and honorific titles, but I think it was the most enjoyable conversation we've ever had. ”

She was a little overwhelmed, "I ......"

"Ruoxu." Liang Jin suddenly said, "Call me by name." Now it's just the two of us, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Yu Ruoxu heard his name come out of his mouth, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little. His voice was low, and the words "Ruoxu" were so good.

"Huh?" Liang Jin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw that she had been silent.

Yu Ruoxu suddenly felt a gentle oppressive force, Liang Jin in front of her seemed a little strange, she remembered that he had always been a gentleman, and his gestures were full of warm and jade-like temperament, but now, ...... She suddenly felt that he was still faint on the surface, but there seemed to be an invisible force that made you have to bow to him.

"Liang ......" Yu Ruoxu's voice was as thin as a gnat, "Liang ......"

"Liang what?" Liang Jin smiled, "I have a name and a surname." ”

"Liang Jin!" Yu Ruoxu was almost maddened by him, and her face turned red after speaking, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

"It's too quiet, I can't hear it." Liang Jin didn't seem to intend to let her go, "You call again." “

Yu Ruoxu looked at him indignantly, "When did you learn to play tricks on people?" ”

"Where did I play a trick on you?" Liang Jin looked wronged, "I really didn't hear clearly, call it again, huh?" ”

She couldn't stand his "um" the most, and her voice rose slightly, like a gentle and dangerous leopard, waiting for the prey to take the bait, "Liang Jin!" “

Liang Jin suddenly smiled, the corners of his eyes turned up slightly, happy like a child who had eaten candy, "Well, I'm here." ”

Yu Ruoxu looked at his smile and couldn't help but be in a trance. She remembered what she had experienced with Liang Jin in the capital before, when they each had their own feelings and understood each other's deepest pain. She remembered that when she first met, he looked like a breeze and a moon, but the corners of his eyes were always detached, and later he said that he was suffering from himself, and told her that he had exhausted his life and would not be disappointed, and it seemed that he had never seen him smile so heartily.

Now when she saw it, she was stunned.

Xiu'er said that he used to be a young man in the capital, so you can vaguely see the shadow of his radiant spirit.

"Lord Shizi......" Yu Ruoxu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are much more cheerful." “

"It's not cheerful." Liang Jin smiled, "People always have to learn to let go." “

Yu Ruoxu sighed, "Yes, you have to learn to let go." “

Otherwise, you will be trapped in place and will never be able to take a new step.

Yue Zirong also sued her back then, there is no need to feel guilty, this is his own choice. It's just that he is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of conscience, but only sorry for her.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Yu. I didn't want to involve you, but you're the only one I can rely on at the moment. After the dust settles, I hope you will learn to let go and forget about it. ”

This is his last words, although they were relayed to her by others, but the words are bloody, how can she forget them?

The two fell into a short silence, and Liang Jin coughed lightly, "It's not early, you should rest early." ”

Yu Ruoxu nodded, "You too." Although military affairs are busy, it is still necessary to focus on the body. ”

Liang Jin looked at her, and for some reason, she was suddenly a little reluctant, "I'm in the room to the east, if you have something, just come to me at any time." ”

"Hmm." Yu Ruoxu felt a little funny, "Go back quickly." ”

Liang Jin turned around and closed the door, paused at the door, and turned around and walked towards the east chamber.

Yu Ruoxu had been on the road for several days, and at this time there was a wave of fatigue, and when she touched her hair, it was almost dry, so she turned off the lights and got into bed.

She was thinking in a daze, after a little rest for a day or two, she would be ready to return to the capital the day after tomorrow.

Her eyelids were so heavy that they looked like they had been filled with lead, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep. She seemed to see a great bow in front of her, she couldn't help but reach out and pick it up, wanting to pull the bow to try her hand, but there was a pain in her right shoulder, and she grinned in pain, "My shoulder hurts so much, I don't want to try it." ”

"That's because you only use brute force." Yue Zirong stood next to her, took the big bow in her hand, and pulled it away lightly with a feather arrow, "Pay attention to the shoulders and arms, elbows, and wrists to work together." You have always only used the strength of your shoulders, and it will naturally hurt after practicing for a long time. ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little unconvinced, snatched the bow from his hand, and pulled it away in one go, "Where can I only use brute force?" ”

Yue Zirong smiled, walked up to her, held her shoulder with one hand, and held the bow arm with the other, and said in a low voice, "You still say it's not brute force?" You see, your wrists and lower arms are loose, and the force is concentrated in the upper arms and shoulders, so it naturally hurts. ”

He was taller than the average Langzhong man, more than half a foot taller than her. At this time, he almost held her in his arms, and as soon as she looked up, she could see his good-looking side face, thick eyelashes, high nose bridge, and a pair of eyes that flew obliquely into the sideburns, which were full of serious looks.

"Remember?" Yue Zirong said.

"Remember!" Yu Ruoxu came back to his senses and hurriedly said.

"Then you can try it." Yue Zirong pointed to the target in the distance, "Bow open the full moon and shoot red hearts." “

Yu Ruoxu narrowed her eyes, aimed her arrow at the target in the distance, and pulled the bow full, but the pain on her right shoulder did not lessen at all, but at this time she couldn't care so much. Aim, release the arrows.

The moment she shot the arrow, her eyes widened in panic.

Another arrow, from the direction of the target, shot straight at itself.

She sat up from the bed with a "whew", her back covered in cold sweat. It was only after a while that she realized that she had a nightmare.

But the next moment, she couldn't tell whether it was a nightmare or a reality.

She seemed to hear the sound of small crumbling from the roof, like someone tiptoeing over the roof of the roof on a tile, followed by the sound of jumping from the roof to the ground, and it sounded like more than one person. Then the footsteps were gone. The blink of an eye made her wonder if it was her auditory hallucination.

She felt as if someone was walking gently towards her house, and the uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger, it stands to reason that Pei Changyuan and Qiao Huanyan were guarding the door, and it should be fine, but her heart still rose to her throat. If she guessed correctly, it should be the group that started to move.

Liang Jin...... She was a little nervous, did he notice it?

But for now, she seemed to be more worried about herself, for she could clearly see that the shadow had stuffed a perfume into the crack in the door.
