She frowned and gasped softly.

"What's wrong?" Jun Ruojin seemed to notice her strangeness.

Outside the window, another flash of light, the strong light quickly enveloped the figures of several people, and then dissipated in an instant, and the ensuing thunder sound was several times larger than that of Fang Cai. He was already suffocated in his heart, and he was frightened without defense, and his body trembled.

The thunder continued for a long time, and the wind blew up, extinguishing the candles in the room again, and in the dimness she seemed to see Jun Ruojin stretching out his hand towards her.

Tilting was a little overwhelmed for a while because of his sudden actions, and looked at him in a daze, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared in her sullen and irritable heart, whether it was moved, apprehensive, or uneasy, she couldn't tell clearly.

On this stormy night, she suddenly had a lot of indescribable feelings.

Er Lan looked at the two of them silently in the faint light outside, her eyes were uncertain, and she murmured in a low voice for a while: "I didn't believe it when the emperor said it......"

The long tail tune accompanied by sighs and self-deprecation was obviously unfinished, but she didn't continue, but her words made her suddenly remember that this person was arranged by the emperor to the prince after all.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and slowly lowered his hand to his palm.

His fingers were slightly cold, because of the loss of blood, and his palm was large, and he wrapped her hand in the palm of his hand with a slight close.

"Afraid of thunder?" He asked.

Erlan stepped aside and lit the lamp.

The flames lit up, tilted his eyes, shook his head, and said, "Don't be afraid, I was accidentally scared just now." ”

The corners of Er Lan's pursed mouth raised slightly, "What a reckless little girl, if you're afraid, just say it, no one will laugh at you." ”

So are you crying right now? I couldn't stop thinking.

I always feel that she likes to emphasize the three words "little girl", I don't know if she is particularly disgusted by this sentence, or her attitude, she pursed her lips and said: "Miss Erlan is just going to make people happy, and I should have married someone a long time ago when I put it in an ordinary family at my age." ”

Erlan's smile froze on her face.

She is forty-four this year, and she missed the last opportunity to leave the palace, and the next time will be when she is thirty years old, and she can only marry a widower at that time. But if she found a lover for herself during this period, her burning eyes fell on Jun Ruojin's body, and sighed lightly, the most she could do was to be a concubine, and the word "marry" would never belong to her.

After saying this, she felt regretful, but it was not because of Er Lan's reaction, but because she felt that she was so uncontrollable, not what was the behavior of a child. What the hell is wrong with her today, hasn't she learned to endure a long time ago.

The two of them fell silent together, and Jun Ruojin also felt a little strange about her reaction today, and looked thoughtful.

Tilting away from his gaze and said, "Lord Wang, the slave maid will change the medicine for you." ”

Jun Ruojin hummed for a long time, and then turned his gaze away.

Relieved, he unbuttoned his shirt and carefully removed the cloth that was wrapped around his shoulder. The white shoulders were blurred with flesh and blood, and the bruises and purples around the wound were particularly seeping, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

She gritted her teeth and thought that she had forgotten that she had deliberately avoided it every time the prince changed the dressing before. But if she wanted to retreat now, it would be a sign of weakness, she opened her eyes, pretended to be casual, took the white cloth that had been coated with medicine handed over by Er Lan, quickly pasted it on top of his wound, and then wrapped it carefully around and around it.

When he was done, he put on his coat and nudged his arm to get him back down, but he touched her hand and motioned to wait.

Turning to Erlan, "The first day I asked you to be busy until so late, you should go back and rest first." ”

His words were very polite, so polite that he was negligent and cold, Er Lan lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, and seemed to glance at the hands that the two touched together, and then said: "The prince's injury is not yet healed, and Er Lan will no longer bother." ”

Tilting heard the implicit urging in her words, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't get up from the prince's bed while she deliberately waited. Erlan stood for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Tilt Wan watched her thin figure disappear into the darkness of the courtyard.

The back of her hand was suddenly covered with warmth, and she turned back in surprise, only to see that instead of withdrawing his hand, he had pressed against the back of her hand.

Tilting was stunned and lifted his eyes, but at this moment, his hand had been gently moved away, and it was only a moment's effort.

"If you're afraid of blood, don't be strong." He said.

It turned out that she noticed that her hands were getting colder.

He bent his lips and smiled, his hands folded together, but he didn't feel cold at all, and the warm heat flowed from his heart to his hands.

"The slave is fine, I stopped the bleeding for Xiu'e last time, it's much more terrible than this." obviously said such a terrible thing, and his tone became softer.

"Don't deliberately provoke her." He suddenly said in a deep voice, as if he hadn't heard what she was saying before, "You don't have to care about her, and you don't have to get too close to her, you just can't take the initiative to provoke." ”

His gaze slowly fell silent like boiling water.

"Lord," she called to him, "slave, slave seems to like ......"

Suddenly, she touched his quietly falling gaze, and the words unconsciously stopped.

She quietly took a deep breath, "The slave didn't mean to provoke her on purpose, isn't this exactly what the slave should do?" She likes the prince so obviously, if the slave doesn't react, it will arouse suspicion. ”

His eyes gradually waved, slowly condensed into a smile, and he didn't continue the topic, but said: "This king knows, it's late, go back and rest." ”

helped him lie down, covered the thin quilt, leaned down the lights and left softly.

That night, I rarely lost sleep, listening to the sound of the rain outside until dawn.

*****

The first snow in winter did not return to the residence immediately, and the two of them happened to encounter a torrential rain soon after going out, so they had to run to a pavilion to take shelter from the rain in a hurry.

Dongxue put away the umbrella, patted off the raindrops on his shoulders, looked up at the gloomy sky in front of him, and said, "Look at this posture, this rain can't stop for a while." ”

Hatsuyuki unconcernedly set the umbrella aside and sat down on a stone bench, his elbows propped up on the table with his chin propped up.

Looking at the stormy pavilion, he said for a while: "What's the hurry, just rest here." ”

"You," Dongxue reluctantly turned around and sat on the other side of the table, "what else in this world can make you anxious?" I'm curious about how Mama Wang picked you up and tied the two of us together, and more than ten years have passed. ”

Her words were ridicule and reminiscence, Chu Xue tilted her head and hooked her lips with a smile, "Maybe Mama Wang wants the two of us to complement each other." Everyone says that you are gentle and I am proud, and that is exactly what happened. You are gentle and kind to others, and you are used to treating other people's troubles as your own, but because of this, you have a lot of things in your heart, and it is actually difficult to calm down. And I am selfish, I only have myself in my heart and don't care about others, so I am a cold observer of everything, and my heart is like water. Do you think Mama Wang really looked like a torch and picked out you and me? ”

Dongxue said angrily: "Why do you say that about yourself? ”

"Facts are facts." Chu Xue raised her head absently, "Even Mama Wang told me that the reason why you want to be in charge of the affairs around the prince is because you are careful and proper." But when it comes to being calm and sober, I am stronger than you, so I want me to help you behind you all the time. ”

Dong Xue was surprised and asked, "Did Mama Wang really say that?" I never knew. ”

Chu Xue shrugged, "Sue sù what you have done, it's always my business." ”

Dongxue looked at her deeply, "I've always been grateful to have a sister like you. Although outsiders say that you are not easy to get along with, in fact, I have always known that you are a soft girl on the inside, but no one can see you. ”

"Why do you suddenly say such a thing, the numbness of the flesh is unbearable." Hatsuyuki hugged her arms coldly, "Hey, do you remember the first time we spoke in the palace?" ”

"How could you not remember?" Dong Xue chuckled and looked at her on the table, "At that time, both of us had just entered the palace, and the palace maid who was older than us was going to bully me when she saw that I was weak and urinating, just when I was so scared that I couldn't help myself, it was you who helped me." I remember that you were holding a piece of letterhead in your hand at the time, and you said extremely arrogantly that if she dared to bully people again, she would give the letter to Sister Lan. ”

Chu Xue snorted contemptuously, "She liked the person Sister Lan liked at the time, and she was delusional enough to write a letter and want to hand it to him." If Sister Lan knows, she has to pick up a layer of skin. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, although what they did back then was naïve, it was the beginning of more than ten years later.

After the laughter, Chu Xue said again: "But if you really talk about it, it's not the first time I've met you." ”

"Oh?" Dongxue's questioning look.

Chu Xue nodded at her, "You may not know, the first time I saw you was a few days before that incident, when the handkerchief that your mother embroidered for you was thrown into the lake, and you almost fell into it when you went to pick it up." "Fortunately, I was saved.

Dongxue's body straightened up a little, and her face gradually became expressionless.

The first snow didn't know when she also straightened her look, and she looked back.

The wind howled outside the pavilion, and the raindrops wet most of the pavilion floor.

Dong Xue recalled the conversation between the two little by little in her mind, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Hatsuyuki stood up, the rain wetting her sideburns and clothes, hazy her eyes. She smiled bleakly, "As I said, find you when you're lost, and correct you when you're wrong." ”

Dongxue's puzzled expression became clear, but it became even colder, "Did you hear that day?" ”

"Yes, I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect to hear your conversation. Dongxue, you have been in the palace for so many years, how the prince and Mama Wang know how you know you, how can you betray them? ”

"My heart has never been here, so how can I talk about betrayal. Chu Xue, you won't understand these things, and we don't have to argue, you just need to tell me, what are you going to do? ”

"What am I going to do?" Hatsuyuki turned around abruptly and stepped forward to grab her arms, "What do you say I want?" I should have sued the prince immediately, even if I had a little sense, instead of letting you stop here. ”

Dongxue only stared at her and didn't speak, without the slightest emotion, Chu Xue shook her head with a wry smile and took a few steps back, "Everything is wrong, I, you, and Mama Wang actually looked at both of us wrong." ”

She spun around and rushed into the rain.

Dongxue hurriedly chased after him in shock, then turned to the other side of the flower bush and stopped suddenly.

In front of her eyes, Chu Xue fainted in the rain unconsciously, and on the side, a woman in green palace clothes was holding an umbrella and looking at her with a smile.
