Chapter 42: The Waste
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ji Yuluo's mouth. Lowered her head, trying not to let Tianlou see the tears in her eyes, "Actually...... I think of you sometimes, too. A few times...... Anyway, thank you anyway! ”
Tianlou suddenly felt that Ji Yuluo was panicked in her heart. It was a good opportunity, only she knew the identity of the man who had escaped. Said tentatively: "You can tell me if you have anything." Maybe, I can help you! ”
Ji Yuluo's mouth was bitter, and she thought to herself: Why would the moonlit night be so rude to her? Why can't he be as generous and pure as the heavenly tower? But he prevaricated: "I am already a princess, what will happen!" ”
"Yes! You are now a princess. As you wish, you will be able to get your money. But wearing a mask to be a man, are you happy? ”
Ji Yuluo raised her head and looked thoughtfully at the curtains in the hall.
In the five years in the Lotus Garden, it was the happiest time, but once she entered the palace, she did not have a happy day. Especially tonight, that kick on a moonlit night simply broke her heart. She didn't dare to imagine that he would be so rude to her in the future when she lived with the moonlit night.
Tianlou said bitterly: "Luo'er! Although the food is good, it can't be compared to being open-minded! ”
He called him kindly, but Ji Yuluo didn't reprimand him angrily, and acquiesced to his title. buried his head, flew the needle, and stubbornly said: "I don't have anything to be unruly." Sky Tower! It's time for you to go back. ”
gave the order to evict the guest, and seeing that Ji Yuluo was unwilling to say what was in her heart, Tianlou had to stand up.
She found an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to him, but she didn't dare to look into his sincere eyes.
He took it, went out the door, and turned around expectantly, "Luo'er! I've kept your identity a secret. You have to believe that I can share a qiē for you! ”
Ji Yuluo's heart tingled suddenly, and she nodded with a smile.
The door closed, Tianlou sighed in pain, and walked towards the secluded corridor with his hands in his hands.
He failed again, defeated by her stubbornness and loyalty. No matter how hard he talks, words and deeds, she is unmoved.
"Then what kind of talented man would make her serve so hard?"
The only answers to the skytower were the raging wind, the drizzle drifting in, the brighter electric light, and the louder roaring thunder.
The door of the temple was lightly opened, and the lightning that swept by from time to time illuminated the corridor, and the lost back of the skytower suddenly brightened and darkened in the corridor, gradually drifting away. Two tears slipped out of her eyes, and Ji Yuluo gently closed the door of the hall.
She had a strong feeling that she was turning away people who really cared about her, and that that precious care was not something that a moonlit night could give......
Taiwei Mansion Xiahou Fu study. Dull and depressing.
Xiahou Fu had no intention of going back to his room to sleep at all. He sat in the armchair with a cold face and said nothing.
The wine at the banquet in the main hall in the evening was poisoned, how could he sleep peacefully, and how could he not let him think hard.
Outside the window, the torrential rain was like a note, and the noise and thunder were endless, just like his mood at the moment.
After many years of playing in officialdom, he felt dangerous for the first time.
Xiahou Zixin, who was sitting on a chair next to him, took a sip of tea, pressed the cover porcelain with his palm, and said to Xiahou Fu in a reckless voice: "Dad! What do you think about poisoned alcohol? ”
Xiahou Fu glanced at his son unhappily, and there was a little impatience between his eyebrows.
"If it hadn't been discovered just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Xiahou Zixin said again: "According to my son, the person who poisoned him was either sent by the emperor or Jiang Chumo. Jiang Chumo's Northern Army is a fart. My Southern Army is fully capable of taking the palace quickly. Help you sit on the throne. ”
Xiahou Fu patted the chair a few times, his face full of anger, "You are a reckless man, you can't become a big thing." Not more than one-third of your second brother. ”
Xiahou Zixin blew his beard and stared for a long time, Huo Di stood up, "What about him?" He can, has he counseled you? Have you ever cared about the government? It's not yet a day of routine in the arsenal. Indulge in koji and martial arts all day long. The plaything is demoralized, although it is drunk on studying martial arts, but it has not grown at all, but it is just a dog-trick cat style, not as good as an ordinary nursing home. Besides, his biological mother said that she was a fifth aunt, and her identity was actually not a first-class girl. ”
This is an indisputable fact, Xiahou Fu sighed and sat down on the chair, "A few years ago, I blamed my father for constantly making decisions and missing opportunities, but now it's too late to regret it!" This time, since Princess Tianxiang returned to the palace, the emperor has treated their Jiang family father and son like a family. often summons Jiang Gu into the palace at night for secret talks. Not to mention the princess. I heard that Jiang Chumo is called the big brother again and again, and he is so affectionate. The queen mother even intends to recruit Jiang Chumo as a concubine. The situation is too complicated, here and there! ”
"Otherwise......" Xiahou Zixin rolled his eyes, approached Xiahou Fu, and made a killing gesture.
"You need to say that!" Xiahou Fu glanced at Xiahou Zixin, "But you haven't learned Jiang Chumo's skills." That Jiang Xiang took Liu Lingyun with him in and out, and it was really difficult to start. There are many palace guards, and killing the princess is not the best policy. ”
"I wanted to kill the princess that night. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by Ma Rufeng. Xiahou Zixin slapped his palm on the chair, causing regret.
There was a thunderous bang, and there was a soft knock on the door at this moment, interrupting the conversation between father and son. Xiahou Fu asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”
"Daddy! Haven't slept yet? A nice male voice sounded outside the door.
Xiahou Fu grinned embarrassedly, and wanted to reprimand outsiders to go back, but he couldn't open his mouth. After pondering for a while, his face was soft, and he motioned for Xiahou Zixin to open the door.
Xiahou Zixin reluctantly opened the door. A man in his twenties, dressed in a sleeping gown, stood outside the door.
The wind was gentle, mixed with a faint fragrance of roses, his loose and wet robe moved slightly, thunder and lightning and boundless black clusters surrounded him, hazy, like a fairy.
The man's pretty eyes were smiling, and he bowed to Xiahou Zixin, "Big brother is also here!" ”
Xiahou Zixin snorted coldly, ignored it, turned his head and walked back.
is a concubine, and after all, he is his own brother, so there is no need to do so much in front of his father. Xiahou Fu glanced at Xiahou Zixin dissatisfiedly, and said to the man outside the door: "I haven't slept at night, come in quickly." ”
The man leaned over and picked up the wine jar in front of the door, and walked slowly into the door. Gently put the wine jar on the carpet, and politely bowed to Xiahou Fu, "The child just took the jar of wine in the wine cellar, and saw that the lamp in his father's study was on, so he came over to take a look...... Father! It's cold in the middle of the night, or the child will leave the wine here. Dad is also good at driving away the cold. ”
Xiahou Fu raised his hand to refuse, and said in his mouth: "Night! How do you know there's poison in that jar tonight? ”
The man's eyes were like stars, flashing and flashing, "Dad! Children often go in and out of the wine cellar, how many varieties of wine are in the wine cellar, and what kind of flavor each child has. The jar of wine is fragrant, and the aroma is very good. It's different, but it's also toxic and unexpected. ”
"I see!" Xiahou Fu thought that the second son had some special ability, but when he heard it, he was disappointed, and he smiled, lowered his head and waved his hand to let the people retreat.
