Chapter 40: The Secret Letter
Qingli stepped into Lanyue Zhai, the eyes of the diners on the first floor gathered one after another, his steps were unhurried, and he went upstairs without squinting, Nanshu saw Qingyuan coming back, waiting at the corner of the stairs early in the morning, as soon as he went upstairs, he greeted him: "Childe, are you okay?" β
There was a lot of worry in the words, every time the emperor summoned his son into the palace, there was no good thing, and this time it was obviously the same, the blood on Qingli's forehead had dried up, and he looked a little hideous, but he held Nanshu's outstretched arm without noticing, and closed his eyes slightly before saying: "It's okay, you go and inform Shenghua, just say that I am a little tired, go back to the room to rest first!" β
After going up a few steps, as if thinking of something, he stopped again and said to Nan Shu who followed behind him: "You still don't need to inform him, let's get some hot water first, and I'll talk about it later." After being injured many times over the years, he gradually became numb to the pain, and when he returned to the house, Qingli sat down in front of the bronze mirror, facing the portrait reflected in the mirror, and his fingertips roamed on his face one by one.
This face, he couldn't express how much he hated it!
This face is very similar to the former Qingdi, and all the officials who have seen him say so.
But in fact? His mother was just a substitute, and he never received a trace of pity from that man!
Qingli's fingers stopped at the red place in front of his forehead, the force on his fingers gradually increased, and then aggravated, a wisp of bright red flowed down, covering the original dry imprints, and it became fresh and bright, Nanshu came in with hot water, and at first glance, he was startled: "Childe, what are you doing!" β
He exclaimed, put down the copper basin and rushed up, counting endlessly in his mouth: "Childe, be sober!" Look what you're doing! β
In Nanshu's eyes, Childe has always been polite, humble and orderly, but he has a strange reaction to blood, how deep his resentment is against that person, how deep this obsession is, every time he has an injury on his body, ordinary people are recuperating in the hope that the injury will get better faster, but he, but after he broke him apart, he was like a demon to the extreme to break open the wound that was about to heal again, even if he has been taking care of it all these years, there are still times when he can't take care of it, and he knows, Childe's illness is not saved by Shenghua Gongzi, the death of Mrs. has become the deepest and most painful wound in Childe's heart, the wound on the body can be treated, it will heal, but what about the wound in the heart? And what should be used to cure it?
Nanshu's exclamation regained Qingli's senses, and he turned his head a little dizzily and looked at the blood stains on his fingers in a daze: "I'm crazy againγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Childeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Nan Shu looked at him helplessly and sadly, a bubble of tears swirled in his eyes, but in the end he pursed his lips and didn't say anything, walked to the basin rack and took off the handkerchief, and returned to Qingli with the water in the basin: "Childe, the water temperature is just right, I'll wipe it for you first, and then I'll go get you a medicine box!" β
Qingli felt that his heart was extremely tired, every step he took had the purpose he wanted to achieve, in the game with the Qingdi, he not only had to follow the person's fall and be ready to deal with it at any time, but also tried his best to hide his identity as a gambler and not be spied on.
Nanshu gave him medicine, and was about to go out to change the water, as soon as the door opened, Shenghua stood at the door, his right hand was loosely clenched into a fist and raised, and at a glance, he knew that he was about to knock on the door and come in, Nanshu took a basin to make way for him, glanced at it thoughtfully, and whispered in Shenghua's ear and said: "Shenghua Gongzi, Gongzi's heart is depressed, you comfort him more!" β
Shenghua is a little confused by the second monk, is it possible, what happened to him from entering the palace today?
Thinking of this, he shook his hand and closed the door, and rushed into the inner room in a few steps, and did not see Qingli on the bed, Shenghua couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Qingli!" Qingli! β
Qingli suddenly heard Shenghua's shout, changed his clothes, and came out from behind the screen naked: "Xiao Shengsheng, don't you call me 'Qingli' only when you are angry?" β
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Shenghua took a long breath, the stone hanging high in his heart fell to the ground, and he smacked him angrily: "Nanshu said that you are γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" As he was talking, he suddenly stopped, Shenghua covered his mouth and stared roundly, how could he accidentally say that he leaked his mouth, and he didn't like to reveal his own things from other people's mouths.
Sure enough, I saw Qing Li put on his middle coat three or two times, and frowned slightly between his eyebrows: "What did Nanshu tell you again?" β
Shenghua covered his mouth and shook his head again and again, "woo woo" and did not speak.
"Huh?" Qingli snorted lightly, and there was obviously some displeasure in his tone.
Shenghua had no choice but to say: "I didn't say anything, I just said that you are depressed, let me comfort you!" Although he and Nanshu have already reached an agreement, the purpose of the two of them is the same, they both hope that Qingli will be well, naturally Nanshu will tell him a lot of things, but this, he will not fail to admit himself!
"I'm fine!" Qing Lijing sat down at the table and slapped the note he had just taken out on the table: "This is given by Aunt Rou today, you can take a look!" β
Shenghua said "ah" incredulously, sat down on the round stool beside him, stretched out one finger with each hand to press both sides of the note, looked at it for a few seconds, suddenly raised his head, and said in some astonishment: "The emperor is pretending to be sick?!! β
This news is so important!!
Whether the Qingdi is a real disease or a fake disease plays a vital role for them, directly affecting Qingli's future, of course, including his, since he opened this moon fast with Qingli, the two of them are destined to be grasshoppers on a rope, and one wrong step may be a loss.
"How did you get this note?" Shenghua was amazed, the emperor lived in Concubine Rou's bedroom, surrounded by the emperor's eyeliner and secret guards, how did she pass the note to him?
"Pastry." Qing Li said the answer succinctly, and now Shenghua didn't believe it: "How is it possible!" Fang Cai Qingyuan told me, the details of your entry into the palace today, he has been eating this pastry since it arrived in your hands, how can you get it? β
It is extremely unwise to put the note into the pastry, in case the palace maid makes the wrong pastry, or if the piece of paper is eaten by Qingyuan, something big will happen, how can Aunt Rou take such a risk?
Qingli took the note out from under his hand, lit it against the candle, and threw it into the incense burner on the side, watching the white plain huddle in the firelight, gradually scorching black, and finally turning into ashes: "Knowing that you can't do it, although there is a risk, it is also in the hearts of the people, he must have thought of this, otherwise how could Qingyuan eat all the pastries piece by piece, but he still missed a move, and the pastries that were hidden in the note were already in my hands before Qingyuan arrived!" β
