Chapter 24: Two Shots (2)
The Buddha building is silent, only the cold wind outside the window blows, and occasionally a few wisps slip in from the crack in the window, blowing the candle flame on the long case is uncertain.
Zero Tears was dazzled, rubbed, and tried to cheer up, although the kneeling knee hurt a little, she still barely endured it. Turning her head to look at Hongli on the side, she saw that he knelt on the futon very well, his waist was straight, she didn't admit defeat and straightened her chest, but after a while, she collapsed, her back hurt so much that she pressed this, pounded that, and said with a bitter gourd face, "Aren't you tired at all?" It can't be that I have been punished a lot before, and I have already practiced it, right? ”
Hongli frowned slightly, and said unhappily, "Thanks to Dorogge's blessing, this is the first time in my life that I have been punished for kneeling in the Buddha Tower. ”
Didn't she just complain that she was tiring people, she stared at him coldly for a while, and then said, "After tonight, your hard life will come to an end." Congratulations. ”
He laughed cooperatively, "That's right, when I get out, I have to celebrate, and I can finally get out of the sea of suffering." ”
She took a deep breath, kept her composure, and hummed, "The sea of bitterness is boundless, and you can't swim to shore if you are careful to turn back." ”
"Don't worry, I'm a top swimmer," he said, turning his face to the side, not looking at her.
When she heard this, she stood up angrily, and was just about to start knocking on his head, when she heard the eunuch guarding the door outside shouting, "Gege, Concubine Xi has a purpose, and you are not allowed to stand up before the time." She turned back to him and protested, "It's so cold in this Buddhist building, if I don't get up to do anything, I'm going to freeze to death." ”
"This ......," the eunuch hesitated, and muttered, "Then you can move for a while."
Zero tears jumped a few times, rubbed the backs of his hands again, and still couldn't warm up. She found that since she came here, her body's resistance was much less than before. Before, she would lie on her stomach in the cold field for half a day, and she would be fine. Now, she had only been kneeling for an hour, and her body was already numb from the cold. It seems that her heart has not adapted to Gege's identity, but her body has adapted very much.
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly a robe was draped over her, and she looked up strangely to see that Hongli had taken off his coat and given it to her, and she was only wearing a single coat. She was stunned and immediately wanted to return him, but he raised his hand to block it, "You're arguing here to annoy me, so let's wear it honestly." Frostbite, Huang Ama and Eniang should be distressed again. ”
She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Hongli, do you hate me very much?" ”
He smiled wryly, "You don't like it, but you can't talk about hate." ”
She added, "Then you don't like me, is it because you think I robbed your father?" ”
He was stunned, her voice was as light as a soft wind, but like a sharp needle, it poked into his heart. Since he was a child, he never felt how close Huang Ama and Eniang treated him, he always thought that they were so cold to others, until he saw how they treated him without tears......
He stared at her and didn't answer.
She raised her head and looked at him, "They all say that the authorities are confused, but I say that the authorities are the ones who know best." The emperor is just that, but Concubine Xi only has one son, but she thinks about everything for me, do you think I can't see the unhappiness in your heart? Especially this day, her attitude towards you and me shows that she cares more about me than you. You really should hate me. ”
He looked at her in astonishment, how could he believe that this was the words of the heartless Chen Lingxi. He always thought she was simple, but he didn't expect him to look away.
"I don't understand why the emperor and Concubine Xi are so good to me", she shook her head and said with a puzzled expression, "But I vaguely feel that it should have something to do with my mother." ”
His handsome face wiped his surprise, stared at her and said slowly, "Why do you think that? Could it be that Huang Ama and Eniang are old acquaintances with your mother? ”
"Maybe", she was a little dumb, remembering Concubine Xi's attitude whenever she mentioned her mother, it seemed that there was something to be done, she sighed, hoping that she had guessed wrong.
"I'm also curious, even if you fall in love again, it won't be in such a short period of time, E-Niang will treat you as her own", Hongli squinted slightly, taking Chen's mother and daughter into Beijing is not a confidential matter, why did Huang Ama send Fu Heng to act secretly? After she dialed it out so indiscriminately, he thought it through a little, there must be a ...... behind the Chen family He couldn't help but sneeze, touched his nose, and felt the chill invade his body.
"Frostbite, huh? What can you do, put your clothes on", she was about to take them off her shoulders, and he immediately took her hand down and tightened them tighter, "One person is better than two people who are sick." ”
She raised her head and looked at him with a complicated expression, she didn't have a good impression of him at all, but if she was compared to Hiroshi, she would rather choose to continue to be provoked by him. Alas, she smiled bitterly, people are like this, and when the cup is empty, she feels that this half glass of water is okay. Sure enough, people need to compare to see the good.
When the sky was slightly bright, someone unlocked the door of the Buddha Tower.
Zero tears were sleeping in a daze on the futon, the good aroma made her nose flutter a few times, she struggled to raise her eyelids, and her eyes fell on Concubine Xi and Qiu Nong who were standing at the door, she suddenly shook her spirits, stood up, and couldn't help laughing, "Niangniang just feels sorry for me, what delicious food are you sending me?" ”
Concubine Xi took a step forward and poked her forehead lightly, "You are a scourge, and your brother will be punished together, and you still have the face to beg for food with me?" ”
Zero tears looked at her eyes slightly, obediently came to her side, pulled her sleeves and said, "I know it's wrong, you scolded and scolded, and you were punished, it's time to dissipate your anger." ”
Concubine Xi glared at her helplessly, "It's really okay to take you." I haven't eaten all night, I'm hungry. I'll let Qiu Nao stew the chicken soup for you, and drink it while it's hot. ”
Zero Tears nodded again and again, turned back to Hongli and said, "You can also drink a bowl." ”
Hongli coughed a few times, his face was slightly pale, and he only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, and he was dizzy. Seeing that he was about to fall, Zero Tears quickly helped him steady, and said to Concubine Xi urgently, "He took off his clothes and put them on me, he froze all night, Niangniang quickly asked a doctor to come and show him." ”
Concubine Xi disagreed, "He's fine, you don't have to worry." As he spoke, Xiang Qiu Nong winked. Qiu Nong summoned a few little eunuchs and helped Hongli back to the Lotus Pavilion.
Is he really Concubine Xi's own child? Zero Tears is very adamantly skeptical.
After finishing the meal at Concubine Xi's, it was already noon when I returned to the bamboo courtyard.
Jian Chun and Hua Jian were worried for a day, and finally saw their master walking slowly this way, so they immediately greeted her, asked her if she had eaten, and asked her if she had frozen...... Zero Tears enjoyed the taste of being cared for, patted them on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just a punishment for kneeling, it's too pediatric." ”
"Gege", suddenly someone called her behind her, she turned around and saw Fu Heng running over quickly, kneeling down and pleading, "It's Weichen's dereliction of duty, he didn't protect Gege, and let Gege suffer." ”
She bent down, leaned close to the top of his head and whispered, "I'm not taking your leave, are you used to listening to the fourth elder brother's call, or do you not treat me as a master at all?" ”
He said vaguely, "I don't have ......" I really don't understand how her focus is always different from others.
"Forget it, for the sake of you coming to me as soon as you enter the garden, I'll let you go," she graciously told him to rise.
He slowly raised his handsome eyes to look at her, and said, "Actually...... I just came from the Lotus Pavilion. ”
"Hmph, you really miss the old", she glared at him fiercely, compared to being infatuated, he definitely did not lose Hongli's wife, isn't it...... She quickly shook her head, the thought just now would definitely stun the fragile little hearts of thousands of girls. She came back to her senses and asked calmly, "Has the doctor seen it?" He's fine, right? ”
"It's just a cold, and I have to stay in bed for a few days," he replied softly.
She breathed a sigh of relief. She has always had revenge and revenge, and she will never owe debts, especially human debts, "Let's go, let's go and see him." Anyway, he was sick because of me. ”
Fu Heng hesitated and didn't move, after all, she had a history of taking advantage of others, and felt that it was necessary to use a delaying strategy, "The fourth elder brother has fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, why don't you wait until he is better to go?" ”
"Since Gege is going to visit the patient, why don't we go together", Hongshi came to her.
Seeing that it was him, Zero Tears couldn't help pouting, "The third elder brother should have a lot of official duties, right?" Don't delay your big business because of me. ”
Hiroshi chuckled, "My biggest job now is to take care of Gege. This is the will of the emperor, is Gege going to resist the will? ”
"How dare you," she said with a smirk at the corner of her mouth, "in that case, let's go together." ”
The two walked side by side, Fu Heng followed behind, sighing silently in his heart, the fourth elder brother was afraid that he would have to lie on the bed for a few more days.
