017 First awakening
He looked at her for a long time.
Jiang Yan waited quietly for his reply.
Until she raised her head to look at him, he replied: "It's not impossible, it's just that there are few people on your side to serve, and I will let Dongxue arrange a few more people." β
"Thank you, Lord Wang, but it is enough to have Yun'er by the concubine's side. Besides, the manpower of the other courtyard is not sufficient, and it also needs someone to take care of it for the time being. β
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was held firmly, and the whole person was pulled in front of him. His chest was broad and warm, heaving slightly from his quiet breathing.
"When did you start being so unfamiliar with me and thinking about refusing everything?"
Jiang Yan didn't expect him to make such a sudden move, and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but after listening to his words, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She even thought he would never notice her transformation.
Looking closely at his delicate facial features, it is clear that he is the same person, but his words and deeds today reveal memories of the past.
Her eyes were sour, she blinked vigorously, and her heart was happy for a while, sad for a while, and finally turned into calm.
It's a little too late.
"The concubine is not to refuse the prince's kindness, the prince should know that the concubine likes to be quiet and does not want others to dangle in front of him." She was no longer the little girl who loved to be boisterous, who couldn't wait to come to him and tell him all the things that was on her mind, and who was also discouraged by his coldness.
Jun Ruojin didn't know how to catch a glimpse of the loneliness and gloom in her eyes, and he felt guilty for the first time. It's not that he doesn't know that the palace gate marquis is urging people to change, but he understands that it is he who makes her change more. He thought that letting her have no worries about food and clothing without interruption was the greatest care for her, and it was one of the few things he could do for her, but now it seems that he is just self-righteous.
In the end, they mistook her, and the dumping of power ultimately harmed her happiness.
His silence and eyes made her uneasy, for fear that she had seen something, she hurriedly staggered her eyes, not wanting to make herself more pathetic, "Since the prince should go down, then it will be troublesome for the prince to send someone to take care of it during this time, and the concubine will thank the prince for the sake first." β
"Anything else?" He asked.
Jiang Yan shook her head.
Jun Ruojin let go of her hand and whispered softly, "You just need to remember that if you say it, if I can do it, I will definitely agree." β
Jiang Yan seemed to hear something, but his expression was as cold as ever, making her expectation for some reason fade little by little. She had always known that he was good, but what she asked for was exactly what he couldn't give.
Hearing her reply, 'I know,' there was a flicker of helplessness in his eyes.
"It's night, be careful on the road, this king asked Yin Hong and Chuxue to send you back." He finally walked away from her.
Jiang Yan habitually refuses, thinks about it and gives up, only bows her head.
Dongxue sent Mrs. Song back and went to Fuqu Pavilion again, carefully explained Jin Yan and Linglong before leaving, and when she went around to Fuyun Pavilion, she met Chu Xue and Yin Hong coming in from outside. Yin Hong nodded at her and staggered over, Chu Xue's face was uncertain, and he was carrying a burden in his hand.
"What's in your hand?" Dongxue asked curiously.
Chu Xue impatiently stuffed the burden into her hand, lifted her feet and left, "I asked knowingly." β
Dong Xue knew her temper, so she only smiled and followed behind, while looking at the things in her arms, "Whose burden still bothers our Miss Chuxue?" β
Chu Xuetou didn't look back and pointed in the direction of Fuqu Pavilion, "You leaned in the direction of the eldest lady." β
Dong Xue weighed the weight of the burden in her hand, a little surprised, "Why did you bring so much?" I was still thinking about why I didn't see you and Brother Yin, it turned out that I went to see Mrs. Yan. β
followed into Chu Xue's room, and watched her lazily fall on the bed, with no cold posture outside.
"Well, I'm exhausted." The voice was also a little lazy, "I was so busy this afternoon that I didn't even bother to drink tea, and I didn't work so hard to serve the prince."
Dongxue hurriedly handed her a cup of tea, and Chu Xue shook her hand again and again, "Let me lie down for a while." By the way, did Mrs. Song go back? β
"Well, I'll send it back personally." She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
"I've been here so many times, I didn't know that there was such a number one person, but listening to the little boy next to her, they haven't lived here for a year or two, and they are really deep enough."
"Well, I heard that her brother once saved the life of our prince, and five years ago, Mr. Song suddenly found the prince and said that he wanted to ask the prince to take care of two people. The prince wanted to take her to the palace for good placement, but she didn't expect her to say that she was too lazy to socialize with people, so the prince placed her in another courtyard and took care of her with good food and drink. It's just that Mr. Song never appeared again, and I don't know what happened.
It is said that the two brothers and sisters are from a family of divine doctors, and they are all skilled in medicine. Every time the prince came to stay, it was not long ago, and the wives were all sick and disaster-free, so no one had seen her all this time. β
Chu Xue nodded, it turned out that this was the case.
Dong Xue suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help laughing: "This Mrs. Song is really a temper, Mrs. Min sent a little girl ring out, this girl ring was anxious to pull Mrs. Song's hand, and her tone was also a little anxious, saying that Xiu'e woke up and asked her to hurry up and take a look first, so as not to delay." Mrs. Song shook off her hand, and said that she was in a hurry if she didn't wake up, what was the hurry when she woke up, just boil two pills and take it, and then turned around and went into Mu Tianwan. β
Speaking of Tilting, I couldn't help but glance at the burden again, "Does Mrs. Yan mean that you want Mu Tilt to stay here?" β
"Not really. You know how, when I arrived at Tingfeng Pavilion Yun'er, I left me for a while, and when I left, I stuffed this burden to me, saying that Mrs. had already told the prince that it was not convenient to go back over there, so let Mu Tianwan recuperate with us first. She sat up from the bed, "Isn't it convenient for them, we are convenient, as long as we are idle, we deserve to take care of others." β
Dong Xue hurriedly stepped forward and covered her mouth, "You be quiet, you will be like a cannon if you say a word casually, and you are not afraid of reaching the ears of the prince." How can we say anything about what the prince should have inherited, and let alone such a few people, it will not be your turn to serve. You have been by the prince's side for so many years, and you should have known that the prince didn't like people below to chew the root of his tongue and make irresponsible remarks. β
Chu Xue took her hand away, "I'm just talking about it in front of you, and I don't want to say it in front of Yun'er to reassure her." It's just that I think it's awkward to think about it, you said that Mrs. Yan just stayed here, what's the matter with throwing a little girl here. β
"Just say a few words for the sake of her near death."
Dongxue felt creepy as long as she thought that someone was almost drowning here, and she would never dare to hit the pool in the future.
"It's not pitiful, I don't know, but it's a pity that my clothes, made of materials rewarded by the prince, haven't been put on this year."
Dongxue patted Chuxue with a gesture, "How do you speak, that dead thing is worth more than human life?" β
Chu Xue fell back on the bed and snorted coldly, "Who asked you to take my things to please others, and you chose that one." β
"I'm angry because of this. If I hadn't brought this one, how would I have taken you? Stingy ghost, it's a big deal to go back and compensate you for the piece that the prince rewarded me. β
"Alright, whatever you want, it's just a piece of clothing." Chu Xue waved her hand, "I used to think that Mrs. Min was a child, but now if you want to come to the palace, you know how to be measured, and the Fuqu Pavilion can be lived by anyone?" β
"Okay," Dongxue got up and picked up her baggage, "I don't know, I think you're jealous?" β
"you." The first snow is gentle.
*****
Dizzy, he kept repeating a dream.
She was so entangled in the vines that she couldn't move her hands and feet, and no matter how much she struggled, she could only sink down in despair. The light on the surface of the water is getting weaker and weaker, and only a faint point of light can be faintly seen. The bottom of the water was so cold that she couldn't breathe, and her eyes were gradually covered in darkness.
But suddenly, something slipped away from her, and the feeling was so clear, she opened her eyes slightly, only to see that the thing was wrapped in a white glow, floating upward with the bubbles.
She didn't know what it was, vaguely felt it was important, and she struggled to raise her hand, still unable to break free from the vines. Just when she was finally disheartened, a pair of broad and powerful hands broke through the water and dragged her upward, and with this force, she finally took the mass back into her hands.
Then, she didn't know where she was being taken, the chaos was unclear, and she could instantly feel the heat and cold. She was tormented, painful and tormented.
In the fog, she heard her name whispered, and with difficulty she opened a small slit to see the aqua-blue curtain, and the smoking incense burner at the end of the bed. Her throat was dry and hoarse, and she opened her mouth and couldn't make a sound. With a headache that seemed to be torn apart, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again before she knew it.
When I woke up at night, there was a hazy halo outside the tent, quiet and warm. This time, she saw a strange and gentle face with a smile appear in front of her.
"Are you awake? Don't talk yet, I'll help you sit up. The woman helped her up and leaned against the head of the bed with gentle movements, and after seeing her inquiring eyes, she smiled and said: "My name is Dongxue, I didn't expect you to wake up at this time, I'll feed you something." β
It turned out that she was Dongxue, a person with such gentle eyebrows, and she didn't know how to come up with such a name, and she was secretly worried.
Dongxue walked away and soon came back, sitting on the edge of the bed with a bowl of hot porridge in his hand.
Seeing her posture of wanting to feed herself, she hurriedly reached out to take it, but was stunned by the cloth wrapped around her hand. Above the ten fingers, a circle of white cloth was tightly wrapped, looking extremely bloated. He moved his fingers slightly, but he could still feel the swelling and itching. The white cloth was a little sticky, and the ointment inside had a refreshing smell.
"You have a slight frostbite on your hands and feet, Jin Yan and the others have already dressed the medicine for you, you don't have to worry, as long as you apply the medicine on time, it is not a problem to cure these frostbites. But during this time, it's better not to move casually, just tell SΓΉ Jinyan and Linglong if there is anything and let them do it for you. As she spoke, she took a spoonful of porridge and brought it to her mouth.
"Although you drank a stomach full of water before, you can only eat porridge now."
The sweet aroma is fragrant, just white porridge, which looks glutinous. Listening to her words, she pursed her lips and smiled, there was a warm and real pleasure of returning to the world, and slowly swallowed the porridge, it was sweet, she squinted.
When she saw the winter snow, she knew that this was still the Zizhu Courtyard, but it didn't look like the Echo Pavilion. Although the layout of the house is not luxurious, it is all fine, and it does not look like a subordinate room, what is it?
Perhaps the doubts and inquiries in her eyes were too obvious, Dong Xue said: "This is Fuqu Pavilion, because it is far away from ......" She hesitated for a moment, skipping the middle words, "It's closer, so I sent you here." β
Sensing her kindness, he nodded.
Trying to open her mouth to make a little sound, she asked, "What about Xiu'e?" β
Dongxue put down the bowl and picked up a handkerchief to wipe it for her, "She's fine, she woke up earlier than you, and she was sent back by Mrs. Min." β
Knowing that Xiu'e was fine, she relieved herself, "Are the Jin Yan and Linglong you said to be the ones who helped take care of me?" She still remembers the sounds she heard when she burned to the ground.
Dongxue took off the pillow behind her and helped her lie down again, "Yes, Linglong you should have seen it, it is the little girl who gave you the cloak, Jin Yan, you can see it tomorrow." β
"I'm sorry for you." Not to mention Linglong and Jin Yan, Dong Xue has a heavy daily errand to serve the prince, and she has to take time to see her.
Dongxue pulled the quilt to her chin, "Don't say that, it should be." Don't think about anything now, just rest well and get better. β
He hummed and stopped saying polite words, closing his eyes and resting.
