The night is quiet.
In the darkness, only the lantern in Hongfu's hand emitted a rather bright light.
Su Wanqing, who withdrew from the study, was slowly walking in the direction of the west courtyard along the road she came from at this moment.
She pursed her lips, and there was a dark look that bordered on despair in her quiet eyes.
Su Wanqing felt as if she was falling into the endless cold, she gently tugged at her big, trying to wrap herself tighter, but her whole person was still so cold, and her heart was still so cold.
When she came back to her senses, she glanced in the direction of Hongfu with some concern.
Hongfu lowered her eyes, her expression was serene, but the frustration she tried to restrain at the bottom of her eyes was still in her eyes.
Su Wanqing sighed in her heart, a little unbearable, and wanted to speak a few more words to appease her, but she looked at Hongfu and groaned for a while, and still fell into silence again and again.
Since she came out of the study, she had already said that she would try to arrange it for Hongfu again, but she knew in her heart that it would be easier said than done to reverse the current situation.
Su Wanqing is just a seventeen-year-old woman, even a year younger than Hongfu, what Hongfu has lost now is only a chance to be allowed to go to Yandong, but she is about to fall into the hands of Shen Qingyi, and if she falls into a careless move, she will lose her life.
This sober feeling made her understand that what was in front of her was the key to her own survival.
Desperate, desperate, in a desperate situation...... What should I do?
Along the way, the master and servant had their own hearts, and no one broke the quiet.
It wasn't until she was about to enter the west courtyard that Su Wanqing saw Biwu waiting for her back in the courtyard from a distance, and her eyebrows finally relaxed, however, in the next second, her expression returned to seriousness.
Yes, she still has them by her side, time is pressing, she can't wait any longer.
At least, she can't try to think about it in the long run, and stay in King Yi's Mansion stupidly and wait for death!
Su Wanqing stopped suddenly, lowered her voice, and said slowly in a voice that only two people could hear: "Hongfu, I have an important matter, I want you to go to the Taiwei Mansion to report to Mrs. now." ā
Hongfu was slightly surprised when she heard this, and immediately withdrew from her emotions, and looked at her with some puzzlement: "It's already late at night, I don't know what the master commands?" ā
ā¦ā¦
In the middle of the night, snow began to fall in the sky again. Until the early morning of the next day, there was no sign of stopping.
The snow in the capital had not yet melted, and it was once again covered with snow.
In the palace, many palace people got up early in the morning to clear the snow inside and outside the palace.
Only Qinqiu Hall was very quiet, and there was no movement.
In the courtyard of Qinqiutang Palace, a proud and tall man stood upright in the snow, and the wind hair from the collar outlined his three-dimensional and perfect jaw, but the cold alienation from that person's body made people dare not look greedy.
The palace maid who retired from the dormitory looked at the man not far away, and was stunned unconsciously, and then retracted her gaze like an electric shock, calmed down, and walked up slowly: "Back to His Royal Highness King Yi, Niangniang hasn't gotten up yet, I'm afraid that the prince will have to wait a while." ā
Su Yuanyi's gaze seemed to fall on the closed door, and it seemed to fall on nothingness, he was silent for a moment, and nodded faintly.
Everyone in Qinqiutang knew that Su Yuanyi was cold, and the palace maid didn't dare to say more, so she bowed her head and retreated.
Hengwen looked up at the snow, hesitated to take half a step forward, and said in a low voice: "It's freezing this day, and the prince has only been able to get better for a while, so let's go to the house and wait." ā
Su Yuanyi's expression was faint, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Hengwen had expected his master's reaction, but he still couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The holy decree was issued yesterday, and at noon today, Su Yuanyi was about to set off for the north, so after the early dynasty, he bid farewell to Emperor Zhongzheng and came to bid farewell to Concubine Tong.
However, as the minutes ticked by, there was still silence in the door, and there was no sound.
I don't know how long later, the palace maid retreated from the dormitory again.
"Lord Qiqi, Niangniang will let you in."
"Yes." Su Yuanyi's expression did not change, he responded calmly, and walked towards the hall.
Hengwen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly followed.
The two walked a few steps, and Su Yuanyi's steps were another pause, and he untied the big curtain on his body, "Concubine Tong is still sick, don't bring this in, so as not to cool off the concubine." ā
Hengwen stretched out his hand to take it, bowed down and said yes.
The light in the dormitory was dim.
There were no lights in the room, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the smell of sandalwood diffused, which seemed a little strong in this somewhat enclosed space.
A woman in her thirties reclined on the couch, and by the light coming in from the window, it could be seen that her lips were lighter than ordinary people, and the look on her face was also sorrowful, but even so, it could not hide her elegant and delicate appearance.
Su Yuanyi stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Erchen greets his mother." ā
Concubine Tong responded lightly and said slowly, "Why are you here, didn't I say that you don't have to come if you have nothing to do?" ā
There was a coldness in that tone.
Su Yuanyi said: "The son knows his mistake, and he hopes that the concubine will be angry." It's just that there is a plague in the jurisdiction of Yanling, and the sons have asked their father for their orders and personally went to quell the epidemic, so they came to resign to their mother. ā
Concubine Tong raised her head and glanced at Su Yuanyi, and said lightly: "I know about this matter." ā
Su Yuanyi's expression was strange for a moment, and he quickly recovered without waves, and lowered his eyes, "It's the son-in-law who disturbed the concubine's recuperation." ā
Concubine Tong was noncommittal, silent for a moment, and then opened her mouth and ordered: "Come on, don't see the tea yet." ā
"Yes." On the side, the palace maid Nuonuo, who didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, responded and brought up the tea that had been prepared a long time ago.
At this moment, Su Yuanyi was still standing in the hall, and Concubine Tong did not let go of the seat, so he did not trespass, and stood there without moving.
There is nowhere to put the tea bowl, but fortunately, this situation is not once or twice, the palace maid glanced at Su Yuanyi's expression, and stopped beside him with the tea tray as usual.
Su Yuanyi reached out and took the tea bowl and took a shallow sip.
"Are you scared?" Concubine Tong suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Su Yuanyi didn't raise his eyes, and calmly put the tea bowl back as it was, "Erchen is not afraid." ā
"That's for the best." Concubine Tong paused, and her tone gradually became a little stern, "You remember, your father has cultivated you for so many years, and he didn't let you hide in the capital to be a pampered and carefree prince, if you can't even do this little thing, others will think that my recuperation is fake, and it is true that I have no face to see people!"
