Chapter 22: The Past 2
Xiao Yiyun would not be so ruthless to Zuo Qing, and if he could, then he would definitely not be soft on Yun Yi. Zuo Qing is a person that Yun Yi cares about very much, but if Xiao Yiyun has a trace of kindness to Yun Yi, he will not do such an excessive thing to Zuo Qing.
At that time, Zuo Jing had an extremely bad premonition, but she didn't want to believe all this, so she chose to escape, preferring to believe that Yun Yi was arrested by Xiao Yiyun, so that there was no news.
But the longer the time passed, the deeper the uneasiness became. Zuo Jing, who had nothing to do, could only comfort herself in this way, otherwise, she might collapse in the next second.
However, Xiaocheng's words dug out all the secrets hidden in the deepest part of her heart and exposed them to the blue sky and white sun.
Zuo Jing squatted down, his eyes were empty, and his voice was completely frightened and helpless. Xiaocheng squatted down and hugged Zuo Jing, his voice was not turbulent, but it implied concern, and his voice was gentle. It's just that Zuo Jing didn't have time to take care of these at that time.
"Actually, my master and you are also in the same mood. The bystander Qing, who has always been fully prepared, and never taboos even the worst plans, is actually as afraid that something will happen to his wife just like you, but he never refuses to admit it. ”
"General Yun tried every means to get Donglin, that is, he thinks that if Madame can be ruthless and ignore you, but her biological father will definitely not care, so she will definitely come back. If so, just like that, she hasn't come back, then Madame really ...... Something went wrong. Xiao Cheng said in a difficult voice.
"Although I don't want anything to happen to my wife, judging from the situation, my wife is only afraid that it will be...... You still have to be prepared for the worst. ”
Zuo Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and cried loudly on Xiaocheng's shoulder.
It took a while for Zuo Jing to regain her composure. Xiao Cheng took a wet towel to wipe Zuo Jing's cheeks, Xiao Feng held Zuo Jing's chin with his left hand, and gently wiped Zuo Jing with his right hand, the action was extremely careful, as if he was wiping the dust off the most precious treasure in the world.
Xu is Xiaocheng's movements are too careful, and Zuo Jing, who has always been slow to feelings, is also slightly stunned, and some don't pinch to open his face, but Xiaocheng broke Zuo Jing's face to prevent Zuo Jing from escaping, and then continued to concentrate on wiping Zuo Jing's face. That focused expression made Zuo Jing slightly embarrassed and annoyed by her pinching, and felt that she was hypocritical.
It wasn't until the tears on Zuo Jing's face were wiped away that Xiaocheng looked at Zuo Jing with satisfaction, and then nodded and let go of his hand.
Zuo Jing stood up, but because he had been squawing for too long, his legs were numb, he didn't stand firm for a while, and he was about to fall, Xiaocheng hurriedly supported Zuo Jing, and then in Zuo Jing's exclamation, he picked up Zuo Jing's waist, Zuo Jing was afraid that he would fall, and subconsciously hugged Xiaocheng's neck.
Xiaocheng put Zuo Jing on the chair next to her, Zuo Jing wanted to scold Xiaocheng for ignoring the defense of men and women, but also felt that she seemed to be making a big fuss, Xiaocheng obviously had no other thoughts, if she was careful, she would be too cautious, and it would also make things complicated and embarrassing. Besides, people still helped her, maybe she should say thank you......
Of course, whether Xiaocheng simply wants to help Zuo Jing without thinking about it, only Xiaocheng himself knows.
Xiaocheng saw that Zuo Jing had calmed down, bent down, grabbed the armrest of the chair where Zuo Jing was sitting with both hands, and imprisoned Zuo Jing between the chair and his chest. Zuo Jing frowned, and just wanted to open her mouth to ask Xiaocheng to get out of the way, but Xiaocheng opened her mouth first.
"You shouldn't have come to the palace like this to make a fuss, so the master might lock you up again. I understand that you can't sit idly by, but if you're locked up, you can't do anything. It is a foregone conclusion that General Yun will come to the east, why don't you save your strength, wait and see what happens, and then think of saving people when the time comes. ”
Zuo Jing pursed her lips, looking at the man who was looking at her eyes, and with plain but sincere words, Zuo Jing still found it difficult to stand by and watch.
"It's not about sitting on the sidelines. The man saw through Zuo Jing's mind and continued to persuade: "It's just that you are asked to wait for the right time before rescuing." ”
"But when the master comes to the palace in the east, it will be more and more difficult to act. Zuo Jing frowned.
Xiaocheng shook his head and said calmly: "Zuo Jing, General Yun came here as an envoy, not to mention that Donglin here will never let him leave halfway, even Anqing is there, General Yun is a person who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he values his family and country more than his own life, and he will never leave until he completes his mission." That's why you've been here to sabotage. ”
Zuo Jing pursed her lips again and was silent. That's true, she also sent someone to persuade Yun Zhentian to leave, but Yun Zhentian refused, besides, he thought that Yun Yi was also in the east, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and he missed it very much, so it was good to take this opportunity to come and see Yun Yi.
In desperation, the person sent to find General Yun told Yun Zhentian about Yun Yi's disappearance, and told Yun Yi how he wanted to leave the Donglin Palace, how he designed to leave there, and finally lost contact with him.
Yun Yi was worried about Yun Zhentian, he didn't tell Yun Zhentian many things, leaving the Donglin Palace, Yun Yi also planned to tell his father slowly afterwards, and in the letter to Yun Zhentian's family, Yun Yi has always reported good news and not bad news, so Yun Zhentian also knew for the first time that Yun Yi wanted to escape from the palace like that.
Yun Zhentian was silent for a long time, and the man advised Yun Zhentian again, saying that Xiao Yiyun brought him to the east, maybe he wanted to use him to threaten Yun Yi's submission. Yun Yi is very likely to be imprisoned by Xiao Yiyun now.
Yun Zhentian was still silent, and it took a while before he made up his mind and said to the man: "Whether it is for the sake of the family or the country, the old man can't leave." For the sake of the country, I am the envoy of Anqing to the east, shouldering the heavy burden of peace talks between the two countries, and I must not leave everything behind. ”
"For home, whether Yiyi is in the palace or not, I want to find out. If not, that's the best, and if so, I'll always find a way to get her out. One more person is always one more effort. You don't even know if Yiyi is in the palace in the east, so this trip, the old man has to go. Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, the old man has to break through. ”
The man was a little frustrated, and he couldn't persuade the general to quit according to the instructions from above, because he was not good enough to speak.
Yun Zhentian patted the man's shoulder with a proud smile, and said: "Don't be frustrated, go back and tell Jing'er that the old man has been on the battlefield countless times in his life, isn't it just a palace in the east? Let that girl put her heart in her stomach, and when the old man goes, he will definitely solve the trouble for her!"
After the man came back, he told Zuo Jing the conversation with Yun Zhentian word for word. Zuo Jing also knows the stubbornness of his master, which is more difficult to change his mind than his own young lady's stubbornness, once he makes a decision, except for his own young lady, no one can move him to change his mind.
Zuo Jing was extremely helpless, Yun Zhentian had no way to do it, so he could only toss around the palace in the east.
Zuo Jing didn't expect that Xiaocheng, who looked cold, would observe people so slightly, and her speculation on people's hearts was also extremely accurate.
Yes, why can't you say what is on her mind, how long has it been, Xiaocheng's few words have released all the negative emotions such as fear, anxiety and so on that she has been suppressing in her heart, so that she can avoid it, and finally she can only face her heart and expose her most vulnerable and uneasy side.
Xiaocheng, in fact, is also an extremely terrible person, silently, he has insight into the thoughts and minds of others, so that people have no way to avoid it, and they can only lose.
Zuo Jing was a little angry for a while, and she was uneasy and irritated at that time. Zuo Jing retreated from Xiaocheng fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Don't make it look like you know everything! Who do you think you are? You can see everything clearly? Tell you, there is nothing to do, so everything is just your speculation, you don't know anything, don't point fingers on the side." You don't want to use me to do things for your master. ”
Xiaocheng still stood very steady under Zuo Jing's vigorous pushing, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes - Zuo Jing was really hurt by Xiaofeng, and to this day, he is still afraid that someone will use her to achieve his own goals like Xiaofeng.
In fact, although Xiaocheng is an extremely intelligent person who is good at observation and speculation, he may not be able to hide them in his heart and feel their thoughts so clearly for others. Because that person is Zuo Jing, he is always paying attention, thinking about problems from Zuo Jing's position, and feeling Zuo Jing's feelings. It's just that Zuo Jing never knew.
Xiaocheng stretched out his hand to hold Zuo Jing's wrist, which couldn't push him, and struck his chest with a fist, and said in a slightly aggravated tone: "No matter what you think, what you are doing now is meaningless, you can't get anything except to lose yourself! Have you ever thought that if you can't protect yourself at this time, what else do you want to protect your master and young lady? What else can you do that is beneficial to them? No! You can't do anything!"
Zuo Jing froze, looking at Xiaocheng's eyes slightly sluggish, and then there was a shock, and tears fell again. Xiaocheng sighed and took Zuo Jing into his arms. Xiao Cheng was distressed, but he had to say something serious, otherwise Zuo Jing, who had no purpose at all, would continue to do stupid things. And that's what he didn't want to see anyway.
During the years when Zuo Jing was imprisoned, Zuo Jing was in pain in the cell, and he was tormented outside the cell. Every time I look at Zuo Jing with dull and sad eyes inside through the iron fence, Xiaocheng's mind will come up with the scene when he first saw Zuo Jing, such a lively and agile woman, who was forced to look like this one day, how can it not make people sigh and regret? What's more, it is still the woman on the tip of her heart, how can Xiaocheng not feel distressed?
