Chapter 17 Reluctantly
The raging flames finally died down, and there was a faint green smoke, and the bright morning sun had shone obliquely from outside the cave, lying softly on Yu Yuqing's pale pink face and reluctant to get up.
She slowly opened her eyes and smiled a little drunkly: it was a good night's sleep.
Mo Jing sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, he was like a statue of a god to worship at this time, mighty and silent.
Yu Yuqing couldn't help but smile deepen.
"Awake?" Mo Jing seemed to be aware of her awakening, and when she smiled, he also opened his eyes. Yu Yuqing was a little surprised: "Hmm." "How are you doing?" Yu Yuqing gently picked up the cloak and stood up: "It's all right, thank you." "Then let's hurry!" Mo Jing smiled at her, only to hear a horse neighing outside the cave. She nodded, and the two of them cleaned up a little and walked out. But there was only one horse outside the cave. "I'm sorry, only the wronged jade girl is riding the same horse with Zaixia." Mo Jing stroked the horse's head, looking embarrassed. Yu Yuqing suddenly hesitated: After all, it was just a man who had just met yesterday, although there was a reason for it, but it was really inappropriate to have such intimate contact. Fortunately, no third person will know about this matter. "It's also to blame me for not being thoughtful." Mo Jing frowned and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, I was in a hurry to let Jinyang report the news, but I forgot that he rode the horse away. He smiled self-deprecatingly. How can I blame you? You asked the prince of Jinyang to report the news, and it has been very thoughtful. Mo Jing looked at Yu Yuqing's sparkling eyes, and suddenly felt that even the splendor of the rising sun at this moment could not compare to her gaze. Then you can only ask the jade girl to give in. But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we will dismount when we are almost at the station, and I will watch you meet them from a distance. I think that's appropriate. You tell me? Yu Yuqing couldn't help but nodded seriously, and glanced at him gratefully: Mo Jing is really too hearty, if he lets Gonggong Cen and them see the scene of the two, I am afraid that it will cause some turmoil. The two didn't say anything more, Mo Jing picked up Yu Yuqing and put it on the horse, and he jumped over the horse lightly, he sat behind Yu Yuqing, and grabbed the reins with both hands around her waist. "Sit down?" He asked softly, feeling a little embarrassed, but helpless. The strange and warm breath was lightly exhaled in her ears, and an inexplicable warm current suddenly surged in her heart, and her cheeks unconsciously had a delicate red light. She nodded, Mo Jing clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, and ran forward like an arrow. ——The first post station to enter the official road of Xishan. From a distance, it seems that only small figures can be seen shaking. On both sides of the official road are fields that can not be seen at a glance, it is the middle of spring, and the flowers and plants are already luxuriant, competing with each other, or golden or emerald green or red or blue and purple, the breeze blows, and there are unknown kinds of people who can feel the fragrance of spring spreading under the sky. Mo Jing turned over and dismounted, and gently helped Yu Yuqing down. "Jade girl, I'll send you here, go and meet them! Rest assured, I'll be on the sidelines until you see them safely. We'll see you later. Hearing this, Yu Yuqing couldn't help but show her face: Why is the man in front of him so careful and considerate? If this is just an illusion, what a warm illusion it is! However, when will this farewell be able to meet again? Thinking of this, her heart was suddenly pinched, as if something was whipping, and there was an indescribable soreness and pain. What is this? It turns out that a person's life is full of so many helplessness...... Quickly putting away her misty eyes, she thanked Mo Jing very politely, and then turned around and walked towards the post station. Mo Jing led the horse and watched her from a distance beside the official road. When she walked out of a distance, she couldn't help but look back, but saw that in the chirping spring breeze, there was a tall and slightly tired figure standing between heaven and earth, so quiet that it was like a line of green smoke in the shrine. My heart suddenly felt empty, as if I had lost something important, but I still didn't find it. The front of me is a little hazy, I can't see the road ahead, the wind is coming, the cheeks to the chin are suddenly cold, I reach out and touch it, I don't know when there are tears. - "Jade Girl? Oh, what a jade girl! "There was a figure at the door of the post station who stared left and right for a long time, and after confirming that it was Yu Yuqing, he couldn't help shouting excitedly." Father-in-law Cen is good. Putting away all the melancholy and sadness for the time being, Yu Yuqing smiled reluctantly and blessed slightly. Ouch Jade Picking Girl, you're really anxious to die, it's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay! "Father-in-law Cen rushed to Yu Yuqing, looked up and down carefully, and looked at her spirit without injury and pain, and the heart that had been hanging all night could be regarded as letting go." Yesterday it was me who was wrong, and my father-in-law was worried. Yu Yuqing chuckled. Come in, come in, come in. Gonggong Cen led Yu Yuqing into the post station, and asked the palace maid to quickly bring tea and pour water, and freshen her up. Only then did Yu Yuqing know that the team that went to Xishan to pray for blessings had gone back to the palace first, and Gonggong Cen stayed at the post station with a few palace people and the Ouchi guards as a response, in order to continue the search tomorrow. Unexpectedly, on the eve of the rainstorm last night, they received a note from someone who put it at the door of the post station, asking them to wait here. "Yu Cainu, our family has sent someone back to the palace to report the news, you don't know, your disappearance has caused a storm in the city, and after returning to the palace, I am afraid that it will inevitably be interrogated by the queen." When Gonggong Cen said this, he suddenly felt a little worried. "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you? Any questions? Yu Yuqing saw the strange look on Father-in-law Cen's expression, and her heart suddenly became inexplicably confused. Alas," Father-in-law Cen sighed, "Our family is afraid that the queen's interrogation may make Cai Nu feel embarrassed." When Yu Yuqing heard this, she was even more irritable: although she didn't know what kind of embarrassment it would be, she could faintly sense the wind and rain in the near future. What people in the world are most worried about is often not the embarrassment of the moment, but the fear of the unknown. ——After resting at the post station for an hour, after breakfast, Gonggong Cen took Yu Yuqing and returned to the palace under the protection of the Ouchi guards. The closer she got to the palace, somehow, her heart seemed to beat faster and faster? "Yu Yuqing? Eh, it's really Yu Yuqing! "Yu Yuqing is back?" "I said, Yu Yuqing, where have you been?" "What happened to you in the woods?" "yes, how did you spend the night?" …… As soon as he stepped into the door of the West Garden, a group of picking girls who were gossiping in the courtyard immediately surrounded them and asked questions about the west. Xia Pianpian was in a daze in the house, but when she heard the noise outside, she hurriedly ran out, and she was naturally excited when she saw Yu Yuqing. Aunt Jinyun had already received the news of Yu Yuqing's return to the palace, but she didn't ask anything, just asked the palace maid to prepare hot water for her to wash her body in advance, and brought a bowl of ginseng soup for her to take. Yu Yuqing was lying in the hot water, and the noise just now had disappeared under Jinyun's greeting. It was really quiet at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt that after entering the palace for so long, there were only a handful of people who were good to me. In fact, she didn't expect Aunt Jinyun to take care of herself much, after all, there are more than 60 pickers in Xiyuan, and there are so many people who give her benefits and want to give her benefits, why should she care about an unknown little picker? But Jinyun's actions surprised her: you must know that ginseng soup is not a necessary supply for women, it must be Jinyun's own things, but she gave it to herself. Thinking of this, Yu Yuqing couldn't help but smile slightly, but the shadow of the square silk handkerchief involuntarily appeared in her mind, and the smile froze for a moment. Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps outside. "Jade Girl!" It's Jinyun's voice. "Auntie, what's wrong?" Yu Yuqing lay on the edge of the barrel, staring in the direction where Jinyun came. "Jade Cainu, the queen has sent someone to announce the decree, summoning you to Fengcheng Palace tomorrow for questioning!" Jinyun wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and gasped slightly.
