Chapter 164: Tranquility
The county lord of Nanyan followed her in and said in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”
Du Yunluo raised her chin slightly, signaling the county lord of Nanyan to look at the silver incense ball.
The county lord of Nanyan was stunned, came to the front and smelled it, and said, "But do you think this taste is novel?" Abi said that it was the princess who asked the queen mother for spices, and she asked for it with a thick face, and Suiyu gave her a little. ”
Abi was served by the county lord of Nanyan, and she was the palace maid who stayed in the carriage of Mu Lianhui and the lord of Nanyan County in the morning.
Suiyu is by Princess Yunhua's side, and it is Suiyu who makes tea for Du Yunluo during the day.
Du Yunluo pursed her lips and shook her head, and said to the county lord of Nanyan: "Don't order." That's not what I smelled at the princess at all. You're ...... here."
Halfway through the sentence, Abi had already returned.
Du Yunluo hurriedly shut up, and the county lord of Nanyan pinched Du Yunluo's palm, signaling that she knew.
Du Yunluo went back to her room.
The palace maid wanted to wait for her to rest, but she did not sleep, and sat under the couch by the north window.
If you really want to count it, she hasn't smelled the smell of spices in the silver incense ball for fifty years, but maybe she was too impressed before, and as soon as she smelled it, a sense of familiarity came to her face.
Then, it was quick to think of the source.
It is an excellent tranquilizing incense, and after lighting it, Rao is mind is too heavy, and no matter how shallow the sleep is, he can sleep dimly.
Du Yunluo pointed out before, in the first month or two after Mu Lianxiao's death, she couldn't sleep at night, if it weren't for this spice, I was afraid that before she got out of the pain mentally, her body would not be able to bear it.
The incense was given to her by Mrs. Xu of the third room.
Xu said that she has been ordering for more than ten years, starting from the death of her husband in battle and the disappearance of her son, slowly, she can sleep for a few hours, and she doesn't have to stare at the dawn.
Xu also said that there are many people who order this incense in this family, this thing helps sleep and does not damage the body, and the orphans and widows of the family even order it from Mrs. Wu.
Du Yunluo spent the first year or two on this spice, and later, Xu is heart slowly sank to death, and although she slept lightly, she didn't need to rely on incense.
But she didn't expect that tonight she would smell this tranquil incense at the county lord of Nanyan.
There was a muffled thunder outside, and in the blink of an eye, the rain was heavy and the wind was howling, and even the thunder was muffled.
Du Yunluo was startled, she knew that it was going to rain heavily, but she didn't expect it to be such a storm.
Seeing that the palace maid sitting at the table guarding her was drowsy, Du Yunluo planned to rest.
The palace maid opened her eyes with a vigilant eye, came over to her wide clothes, and suddenly there were a few soft knocks on the door.
In the sound of the wind and rain, the other sounds were very slight, Du Yunluo only thought that she had heard it wrong for a while, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the palace maid was also looking at the door with a blank face, so she said, "You go and take a look." ”
The palace maid answered, carried the lampstand over, and when she walked to the door, her voice became clearer, and there was indeed a knock on the door.
opened the door, before I could see the person who came, the door panel was blown by the wind and swayed, if it wasn't for the palace maid's quick hand, I was afraid that I would smash it on the wall.
The man stepped in, turned and helped close the door, and then unfastened his cloak.
Du Yunluo looked at it and exclaimed, "County lord." ”
The county lord of Nanyan made a silent gesture and walked to Du Yunluo in a few steps: "I can only come to you." Abi is asleep. ”
Du Yunluo raised her eyes and glanced at the county lord of Nanyan in surprise.
Abi fell asleep so quickly, and he didn't even know that the county lord of Nanyan came out, so it can be seen that the silver incense ball has been lit, so ......
The county lord of Nanyan stretched out his left hand and rolled up his sleeves.
Bruised.
Du Yunluo's eyes tightened: "You ......"
"If I hadn't, I'd have fallen." The county lord of Nanyan shook his head heavily.
The smell is not unpleasant, but it is very domineering, if she hadn't taken precautions first, gritted her teeth and endured it, she was afraid that she would have slept and snored like Abi, but Rao was ruthless to herself, and she was also smoked and groggy, and when she came out, the wind and rain blew on her face, which swept away a little drowsy.
"The county lord wants to squeeze in with me all night?" Du Yunluo asked her in a low voice.
The county lord of Nanyan smiled lightly and said helplessly: "Otherwise, who can I go to?" I don't know who it is, but it must not be you. ”
Du Yunluo glanced at her obliquely: "Aren't you afraid that I brought you here on purpose?" ”
"You won't," the county lord of Nanyan said firmly, "you may not be able to save me, but you won't be the princess's helper." ”
Facing each other, Du Yunluo didn't know how to answer for a while.
She admitted that the county lord Nanyan was very right, she would not help Princess Yunhua push Nanyan to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Du Yunluo had suffered so much, and when she saw Nan Yan kneeling in front of the Buddha, she thought for a moment that she had seen herself.
In this life, although she didn't want to get involved in these immortal fights, she completely ignored it, and Du Yunluo asked herself if she couldn't be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have reminded the county lord of Nanyan.
"It's just a tranquil incense, and it has no other use than to make people sleepless." Du Yunluo sat back on the couch and said lightly, "There will be a back hand tonight." ”
"So I hid here from you, if it weren't for the heavy wind and rain, I wouldn't have been able to hide from the people in the left and right wings when I came out, and I would have waited and seen what happened." After the county lord of Nanyan finished speaking, he found a chair and sat down, turned his head and said to the palace maid who was at a loss, "You just sleep with yours." ”
Du Yunluo shook her head: "Take the chessboard, I'll play chess with the county lord for a while." ”
The palace maid only agreed, took out the chessboard and Qilou, and when she added tea to the two, she said in a low voice: "The slave didn't hear anything just now, and she didn't see it. ”
The county lord of Nanyan hooked the corners of her lips, she pinched a white chess piece, turned it around her fingertips, and didn't raise her eyes to look at the palace maid: "You're not young, you can leave the palace in autumn, right?" Just wait half a year. ”
No one spoke anymore, and the pieces fell on the board one by one.
The wind and rain outside had subsided, and there was nothing left except a few thunderclaps in the distance.
After three shifts, the game was played to the second game.
The light in the room was extremely dim, except for the two people sitting opposite each other and the chessboard in the middle, all sides were hidden in darkness.
Du Yunluo pinched the chess pieces and pondered.
Compared to the first set, both of them were absent-minded and dropped at will, by the second set, they had calmed down, and each hand was much slower.
"Ahh
The screams pierced the silence of the night, Du Yunluo's hand trembled, and the fingertip chess pieces clicked and landed on the chessboard.
The county lord of Nanyan was also taken aback, and almost knocked over Qilou by mistake.
The scream woke up the sleeping man, and the outside lit up little by little, and someone must have gotten up and lit the lamp.
The county lord of Nanyan also took the scissors and flicked the wick on the table: "Do you want to go out and have a look?" ”
"It's better to wait." Du Yunluo took a deep breath.
The county lord of Nanyan was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and nodded: "Wait, let's see what kind of drama this is." ”
