Chapter 7: Lies
"Huangfu Jingyao, how could this guy be poisoned, I haven't seen him for a while, his kung fu has regressed, and even people like Bian Yi can hurt him." No one saw it, but the voice was relaxed. Chu Xiangwan thought to himself, sure enough, things gather by like, people by groups, his friends and him are the same virtue, and Mount Tai will not change color before it collapses.
Walking into the room was a man in a white shirt, what adjective to use to say good? Floating out of the dust, this is the first word that pops up in Chu Xiangwan's mind. I thought that "Mr. Ning" would be about the same age as his father, but I didn't expect that this person looked so many years older than Huangfu Jingyao. This person has a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes, and the whole person's demeanor comes from these peach blossom eyes, as soon as he enters the door, it makes people feel that the sun is shining all over the earth. This point is completely different from Huangfu Jingyao's calm domineering. Chu Xiangwan felt that it was a very happy thing to have such a friend.
After Ning Yanchen entered the house, he looked at Chu Xiangwan at first sight. It is indeed a city and a country, no wonder Huangfu Jingyao wants to be a hero to save the United States. It's just ······ Hong Xia had already told him Chu Xiangwan's identity, and he sighed in his heart: It's not easy for Jing Yao to be tempted, but it's a pity that it's a bad fate, Jing Yao is a persistent person, and it is estimated that these two people will suffer in the future.
Ning Yanchen didn't think about it anymore, and walked straight to the bed, he looked at Huangfu Jingyao's face, then looked at the wound on his back, and then left the room.
Chu Xiangwan was puzzled, and when Ning Yanchen was about to step out of the door, he asked, "Mr. Ning, how is the prince now?" ”
Ning Yanchen didn't reply: "Mountain people have their own clever plans. ”
Then there was Hongxia and a group of people busily moving things. They moved the table and brought a big wooden barrel, and the bucket was filled with boiling hot water, and when Ning Yanchen came in again, he was holding a handful of herbs in his hand, and he faced Chu Xiangwan and said: "This one in my hand is a herb, which can relieve the poison of intestinal grass, although it can be seen everywhere, few people know about it." It's just that Jing Yao has been in a coma for a few days, and I have to use my unique internal strength to infuse the medicinal power of the herb into his body, and ask the girl to wait outside for a while. During this process, the poisoner must sit naked in the water, and he has to help Jingyao change his clothes. ”
After Ning Yanchen finished speaking, he deliberately winked at Chu Xiangwan, which was really not commensurate with his dusty appearance.
"That's annoying sir." Chu Xiangwan withdrew with an embarrassed face.
Two hours later, Ning Yanchen finally opened the door, and he said to Chu Xiangwan: "The poison is detoxified, you can go in to see him." ”
Chu Xiangwan rushed into the house, she ran to the side of the bed, and saw that Huangfu Jingyao's face had recovered its bloody color, she turned around and asked Ning Yanchen: "Sir, when will King Rui wake up?" ”
Ning Yanchen waved his hand: "Don't worry, let the medicinal power slow down in his body a little longer." Tomorrow this time, he will surely wake up. ”
Chu Xiangwan hugged Huangfu Jingyao's hand, put it on his cheek, and said to him, "Brother Rui, great, you're finally fine." ”
"It's just that it's time for me to leave." Chu Xiangwan said silently in his heart.
This night, Chu Xiangwan still sang "The Ballad of the Stars", and in Huangfu Jingyao's dream, she also appeared all the time, because Chu Xiangwan heard Huangfu Jingyao calling her name several times throughout the night. Every time Huangfu Jingyao called, Chu Xiangwan felt that his heart had been slashed out one after another, and it was so mutilated that it was broken.
In the second half of the night, Chu Xiangwan left the house, and as soon as he went out, he saw Ning Yanchen sitting on the stone steps outside drinking. He saw Chu Xiangwan coming over and beckoned, "Sit." ”
Chu Xiangwan was also like him, sitting on the ground.
He glanced at Chu Xiangwan and said in an appreciative tone: "The crown princess is also a temperamental, so I'll just say, that guy Jingyao is not a layman who covets beauty." ”
He said it bluntly, and Chu Xiangwan also replied directly: "Since Mr. Ning said so, it seems that he already knows about us, so don't call me the crown princess anymore." I don't like that title. ”
"Okay."
"Even if you don't want to hear the words 'crown princess' anymore, everything is already doomed. We are going to be strangers after all. Chu Xiangwan suddenly muttered to himself again, and two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Does the girl regret it?"
"Why, I'm actually very grateful to God for allowing me to meet him. Even if it was wrong, I lived from my heart at least once. In my life, I am content to meet such a person who knows each other and promises each other. ”
"Do you know that ballad you hum? When Jing Yao was young, Concubine Xiao often hummed to him. ”
Chu Xiangwan nodded: "He mentioned it to me." "Thinking about it now, Huangfu Jingyao said that her mother became a victim of the wives and concubines, but in fact, he said that the harem battles were endless, and I am afraid that the initiator was the high-ranking aunt in the harem.
"Concubine Xiao Niangniang's time with Jing Yao is very short, at the age of thirteen, Concubine Xiao Niangniang died, Xiang Xiaoyu died, Jing Yao has no siblings of compatriots, Concubine Xiao Niangniang was born as a singer, so he has been bullied by other brothers and sisters. In the sixteenth year, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the front line to exercise, starting from the lowest level of firehead, but he didn't expect the emperor to approve his request and send him to northern Xinjiang. Although he is a prince, he has never had a fight, eats and lives with the soldiers, and practices martial arts and the art of war. In the past eight years, there have been dozens of large and small scars on his body, and it has taken me a lot of good medicine. ”
Ning Yanchen said it simply, but Chu Xiangwan could imagine that a prince who had lost his mother and was not favored, when he arrived in a barren place like northern Xinjiang, how much hardship he had to endure and how many times his efforts would make him have today's achievements, so that a group of people in the court were willing to take his lead and look forward. Huangfu Jingyao is no longer a powerless prince who is bullied, but the most powerful contender for the crown prince to succeed to the throne.
"After I leave, please ask Mr. Ning to tell him a word."
"You say."
"My heart is not like a gentleman's heart, I have negative lovesickness, don't read it."
Ning Yanchen poured another sip of wine: "Why did the girl say it so decisively? ”
"Mr. Nanning thinks that I should leave a little possibility for him? Since you know that it is impossible, it is better to leave his life early and leave no thoughts. Also, after I leave, please don't tell him my true identity for the time being. Time is the best medicine to heal wounds, and I will try to avoid seeing him at the palace banquet in the future, hoping that he can forget Fang Wan with time. ”
"Even if the girl retreats any longer, sooner or later you will meet in the palace. At that time, I'm afraid Jing Yao will resent you deeply. ”
"I just hope he's okay and nothing else matters. When the interruption continues, but suffers from the chaos, if he keeps thinking about me, it is a hidden danger. ”
"Okay, I'll pass on the girl's words later. How long can he hide it, even if he tells the truth, he has to wait for his injuries to heal. Ning Yanchen also knew that the lethality of this truth was far more powerful than a lie, if Jing Yao knew that he and Chu Xiangwan were about to become uncles and sisters-in-law, I don't know what he would do. It is not easy for Jing Yao to have today's power, and his secret layout for many years cannot be exposed at this time, so let him Ning Yanchen do it.
"It's not too early, and I ask my husband to arrange for someone to send me back to the capital." Chu Xiangwan didn't look at the room again, just numbly waited for Ning Yanchen's arrangement.
But in an hour, Hongxia prepared dry food and carriages, and she said to Chu Xiangwan: "Miss Chu, you are a woman, it is inconvenient for other men to send you, I will send you back, and I should thank you for taking care of the prince in the past few days." After hearing Chu Xiangwan and Ning Yanchen's words, Hong Xia began to admire this woman. She is indeed worthy of the prince's love, but unfortunately, the world does not tolerate this relationship, for the sake of the prince, they can only weave a lie.
Chu Xiangwan smiled bitterly, said "thank you", and got into the carriage.
Three days later, the left prime minister's mansion in the capital. After days of traveling, I finally arrived home. Before getting out of the car, Chu Xiangwan grabbed Hongxia's arm and said to her: "Miss Hongxia, I can see that you have affection for King Rui, I have nothing to do with him in this life, I hope you take good care of him." ”
"The prince is my benefactor, and I swear allegiance to the prince." Hong Xia didn't say it explicitly, but Chu Xiangwan knew that she had the right person.
The carriage left, Chu Xiangwan knocked on the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as the family opened the door, he saw that it was Chu Xiangwan, and his jaw almost didn't fall.
"Shhhhhh She didn't know what was going on in the house, she had to see her father first.
Chu Xiangwan arrived outside Chu Huaifeng's room alone, and when it was close to her son, the lights in her father's house were still on, which showed that her father must be anxious these days when she was gone. She gently pushed open the door and saw her father talking to herself with her back to the portrait of her mother: "Yan'er, I'm sorry for you, Xiangwan is our only child, but I can't take good care of her, let her be out of exile for so many days, now her whereabouts are unknown, I sent people to look around and there is no news, I am really not a competent father." Yan'er, you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless our daughter safely. ”
"Daddy." Chu Xiangwan was already in tears, she looked at her father from behind, and suddenly felt that there was a lot of gray hair on his head.
Chu Huaifeng turned around and saw his daughter standing behind him, he was a little incredulous, he looked at his daughter, and his eyes were wet for a moment: "Evening, you're back." ”
Chu Xiang held Chu Huaifeng before the evening: "Daddy, my daughter is not filial, so I worry about you." ”
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Chu Huaifeng looked Chu Xiangwan up and down, "Child, where have you been these days?" ”
"Daughter······ Chu Xiangwan wanted to speak and stopped, "When I went out for a walk, I met a group of robbers, and then I was forced to fall off the cliff and injured my foot, but fortunately I was rescued by a farmer, and I came back after a few days of recuperation." ”
"Then how did you get back to the capital?" Chu Huaifeng asked.
"After my daughter's foot injury healed, the farmer wanted to go to the capital to buy some daily necessities, so I brought my daughter with me."
Chu Xiangwan didn't want to mention Huangfu Jingyao, she didn't want her father to worry. The battle between the court and the inside is already very fierce, her entry into the palace is a transaction of power, and her father is already worried, if he knows that this assassination was planned by the queen, his father will only be more worried. She was involuntarily involved in it, and she couldn't involve her father anymore.
"I see, Xiang Wan, have you encountered something these days outside?" Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, Chu Huaifeng intuitively felt that Chu Xiangwan did not tell the truth. Besides, on this big night, how could the farmers not leave the city at this time?
"Daddy, don't worry, nothing happens. Look, isn't that a good daughter? Chu Xiangwan remembered Huangfu Jingyao again, and she forcibly suppressed a trace of choking in her voice.
"Child, you have always had your own ideas, and you will do things in a measured manner, since you said that it was okay, Dad will no longer ask. The prince asked his father the day before yesterday, why don't you stay in the Shangyang Mountain Courtyard, because your father used the excuse that you were infected with the wind and cold, and you have returned to the house to recuperate. When you enter the palace in the future, if the prince asks, deal with it carefully. ”
"Yes, my daughter knows."
"You're going to enter the palace in a few days, so you have a good rest these days." Chu Huaifeng patted Chu Xiangwan's head lovingly, his eyes were both worried and reluctant.
Chu Xiangwan returned to her room, just lying on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep. His mind was full of Huangfu Jingyao's figure, thinking about whether he was healed, thinking about his reaction to hearing that sentence when he woke up, and thinking about the memories that can only be recalled.
Maybe it was because he had a soul, when Chu Xiangwan thought about Huangfu Jingyao, Huangfu Jingyao finally woke up from his coma.
"Late, late." In the murmur, Huangfu Jingyao suddenly opened his eyes. He looked around, there was no one in the room, and he had a bad premonition and sat up from the bed abruptly.
Ning Yanchen heard the voice and walked in: "You finally woke up, it seems that my calculation is good, this poison has just been solved for a day, you will be fine." As he spoke, he also took the pulse of Huangfu Jingyao.
"Where's Fang Wan?" Huangfu Jingyao ignored him and pushed his hand away.
"When you meet old friends, you don't greet me, so you're in a hurry to find your little beauty?" Ning Yanchen was really not afraid of death, knowing that Huangfu Jingyao's face was no longer good, and he was still delaying time here.
"Ning Yanchen, let me ask you what about Fang Wan?" Huangfu Jingyao's voice began to be anxious and impatient.
"Little beauty, let's go, people see your noble status, and I'm afraid that I can't climb high. Hongxia had already sent her away. ”
"She said everything would happen when I woke up, and it was impossible to say goodbye." Huangfu Jingyao didn't believe that Fang Wanjia would suddenly disappear.
"The little beauty only asked me to bring you a sentence, 'My heart is not like a gentleman's heart, I have negative lovesickness, don't read it'." When Ning Yanchen said this, he suddenly became serious.
Huangfu Jingyao saw that Ning Yanchen was serious, and he suddenly couldn't say a word.
My heart is not like the heart of a king, my heart is not like the heart of a king······ Could it be that he was just moved from beginning to end, no, he could see clearly, Wan'er, like him, gave his heart in this relationship.
"Why the hell did she leave?" Huangfu Jingyao forced Ning Yanchen to ask.
"Jing Yao, I won't say, don't ask again. People naturally have her reasons to leave, she has cut off this love, why should you be persistent? It can only be said that there is something more important in her heart than you. Ning Yanchen was also a little unbearable, but the carrion from the wound had to be stripped away at one time, otherwise there would only be endless troubles in the future.
Huangfu Jingyao didn't speak again, he began to be silent, making Ning Yanchen feel like he was in an ice cellar. A few days later, Hongxia came back, and Huangfu Jingyao didn't ask any news about Fang Wan, but he was just a person, but he was getting more and more cold.
