Chapter 40: Accompanying Him (2)

Before the snow could be swept away on the street, the horses' hooves fell on it and slid uncontrollably, and the carriages behind them swayed from side to side. Hongli scolded the coachman several times in the car, but at this time, even the best coachman was useless, so he had to sit with Zero Tears and hug her tightly to prevent her from being thrown out of her seat.

The carriage jolted even more, tearing the wound on her shoulder that had only healed like a tearing pain, she gritted her teeth and endured it, cold sweat dripping down her forehead and gradually soaking through the clothes on the back of her placket. Hongli couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw this, "Why are you so troubled, you can't wait any longer"

"No," she shook her head stubbornly, took a breath on her back with difficulty, and said softly, "While the emperor and Concubine Xi haven't found out that I'm awake, otherwise, they will never let me go out." ”

He smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid that when I go back, I will be punished again." ”

"Why are you afraid that you will be punished for kneeling in the Buddha Tower with me again" Her lips were as pale as paper, but she was still smiling heartlessly.

The corners of his mouth pursed a light smile, and he gently brushed away the already wet bangs on her forehead with his hand, "I'm used to being affected by you." As long as you are at ease, your body can get better quickly, not to mention the punishment of kneeling, it is worth it if you are beaten by Eniang for a few boards. ”

When Zero Tears heard this, warmth welled up in his heart, and he whispered, "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what" he smiled gently, "Thank you for going crazy with you"

"Thank you for saving my life. I know that you worked so hard to carry me back, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be dead" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and patted her mouth, "Don't say unlucky things." In the future, you will have more things to thank me. Now, be obedient and close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll wake you up when the time comes. ”

"Hmm", she closed her eyes obediently, never thinking that this person who was arguing with him everywhere would now make her feel so down-to-earth. She lay quietly in his arms, her mind gradually relaxed.

The carriage drove up the main road in the city, where the snow had cleared, and the carriage finally recovered and headed for Fucha at a rapid pace.

When Zero Tears pushed the door in, the room was silent, and the faint smell of soothing incense permeated the room. She walked into the inner room with very light steps, and saw Fu Heng lying quietly on the bed, barely hearing his breathing. There was still half a bowl of medicinal soup that had cooled down on the round stool next to the bed, and at this moment, everyone in the house was busy with Li Rongbao's funeral in the front yard, and no one was waiting on Fu Heng's side.

He slept very unsteadily on the bed, and the quilt was kicked open and half of his body came out. There was no brazier in the house, and Zero Tears was afraid that he would freeze, so he sat on the edge of the bed and gently covered the quilt for him. A moment later, he dishonestly lifted it again. After repeating it several times, she found that it was not that he didn't sleep deeply, but that the uneasiness in his heart made him always move around, and she gently held his hand and let him gradually calm down.

"Fourth elder brother, why don't you stand at the door and not go in" Qi Lan took advantage of the time to visit Fu Heng, but saw Hongli standing in front of his door all the time. She strangely stepped forward and was about to push open the door, but he stopped him and said, "Let him sleep well, don't disturb him", after speaking, she turned and went to the front yard.

Qi Lan saw that his back was a little lonely, and couldn't help but turn to the window of the inner room, and saw Zero Tears sitting on the edge of the bed, still holding Fu Heng's hand. She suddenly understood something, looked at Hongli's distant back, sighed silently, and went to the front yard with him.

Fu Heng's frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed, he kept holding her hand so tightly, and fell asleep deeply. The purple copper incense was burning in the incense, the fragrant aroma had a bit of hypnotic medicinal properties, and after sitting for a long time, zero tears couldn't help but feel sleepy, leaning down on Fu Heng's lap, and his eyelids slowly went down.

I don't know how long it took, Fu Heng woke up and saw her leaning on her and falling asleep. He sat up in disbelief and rubbed his eyes, her face clear and real in his eyes, but it seemed like a dream that was about to wake up, thin and fragile to the touch. He gently lifted his hand to caress her face, fingers sliding inch by inch, finally convincing him that she was here, that she was here, within reach of him.

Zero tears felt itchy on his face, his sleepy eyes opened, and when he saw him, he couldn't help laughing, "You are awake" sat up, carefully put a soft pillow on his back for him, and tucked the quilt, and then slowly sat down next to him, and said with a light smile on his face, "I heard that you were seriously injured, I asked Ah Si about your situation, he refused to tell me, besides, I don't believe his words." I pestered him to take me to see you, and I can't rest assured if I don't see it with my own eyes. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Aren't I living a good life?" It's you, who have shed so much blood, you should stay in the bamboo courtyard and recuperate. ”

"Who of us is not well-behaved" She glanced obliquely, wanting to scold him a few words, but she couldn't bear it, and unconsciously gently shook his hand, his fingertips were cold, and there was no temperature at all. She silently moistened her eyes, but she couldn't let the tears flow, and secretly made up her mind that he had sacrificed his life to protect her before, and now, she would also seek justice for him Amma.

Fu Heng didn't avoid it this time, but instead shook her hand back, shaking his head with a wry smile, "I said I wanted to protect you, but it almost hurt you."

She immediately reached out to cover his mouth, "Don't say that. If you have three longs and two shorts in order to save me, I will not be happy in this life. ”

His heart warmed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, just stared at her clear eyes and smiled shyly like a child.

After talking to him for a while, seeing that the melancholy between his eyebrows had dissipated a little, she also got up with peace of mind and picked up the half bowl of medicine next to the bed, "I can't help but drink the medicine, I'll go and warm it up for you." ”

He grabbed her without letting go, "Don't go, let someone do this kind of thing." ”

"Why, are you afraid that I will boil the medicine into muddy water again and cause you to faint again", she half-joked.

"Of course not," he said slowly, glancing at her, "I can eat whatever you do." I'm afraid that you will work hard, after all, you also have injuries on your body. ”

She stuck out her tongue and knocked his hand off with a smile, "Lie down obediently and wait for me to come back", after saying that, she turned around and walked out of the house, but the moment she closed the door, the smile that had been on her face was all put away, and she sighed lightly. From the moment she entered the door, she didn't dare to mention Li Rongbao without a word, for fear that it would make him sad. Although she tried her best to make him laugh just now, the remorse and sorrow hidden in his eyes became heavier and heavier.

Yes, after such a big change, and he witnessed it with his own eyes, no matter how strong he is, he can't let go of it for a while. As she walked past the window, she couldn't help but peek inside, and sure enough, she saw him silently wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. He never showed his vulnerable side, especially not for her to see. She pursed her lips and turned away.

In the kitchen, she squatted in front of the stove hole with chopsticks, looking at the red firelight in a daze, she had experienced a lot of life and death over the years, and she should have felt numb to these things. The killer's blood is cold, so cold that even the most basic human nature should not be there. But when she saw him smiling strongly, she couldn't help but want to cry. She hadn't shed a tear for a long, long time, and raised her hand to wipe the wetness from the corners of her eyes, laughing at herself for what had happened to her, and she had learned to be sentimental

"What's wrong with you crying" She turned around and saw Hongli standing behind him at some point, she raised her face and said stiffly, "No, it's smoked." ”

He saw a thorn in his heart, but Rong Shang smiled slightly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Don't always stare at the fire, it will hurt your eyes." She said "um", took the handkerchief, and got up to wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

"It's been a long time, let's go back"

"Now" She turned her head and glanced at Choshi on the fire, the decoction was already boiling, "I still have to send the medicine to Fu Heng."

"There are dozens of people in this house, isn't there anyone who can deliver medicine" Hongli's voice was a little cold, obviously displeased, "Besides, Qilan is also here, she will take care of her younger brother." You have always been careless in doing things, and you can't help much, so let's go back with me quickly and don't let Huang Ama and Eniang worry. ”

She didn't want to go, so she pouted and twisted her body, turning her back to him, "You let me stay here a little longer." Fu Heng's appearance, I really don't feel at ease. ”

"You haven't married into this mansion yet, what kind of system do you rely on" His voice became even more powerful.

Zero Tears was startled, although she usually didn't make him angry, but this time, it seemed that the situation was very different, she glanced at him weakly, "Go back, what are you fierce" Flattened her mouth, and said, "This medicine is hot, you have to let me bring it to him, and say goodbye by the way." ”

"No need", Hongli waved his hand, and the next person waiting outside immediately walked in, "Leave it to him, let's leave now." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry," she said in surprise, and before she could finish speaking, he impatiently stepped forward and pulled her hand and dragged him out of the door. ~
