Chapter 144: Seriously ill
Zhong Ziyuan smiled, and immediately cleverly diverted the topic: "Rongxi said that you were injured, where did you get hurt?" Show me. ”
Good thing in this'Lazar. Angelov' didn't sound like a personal name, and he was instantly left behind by Guo Chengsi. The corners of his lips raised, he sat down on the chair next to him with his back to Zhong Ziyuan, and said slyly: "You are standing so far away, how can you see it?" Not yet. ”
Zhong Ziyuan bit her lip, her worry about him still overpowered the shyness in her heart, and she slowly walked behind him. As soon as she got closer, she was immediately surrounded by a warm and humid male breath. She swallowed quietly, stretched out her fingertips to brush away his loose black hair, and pulled down the soft and lifeless silk yarn on his shoulders.
Her cold fingertips accidentally touched his smooth and warm skin, causing him to shiver slightly. Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Wait a minute, my hands are too cold." ”
She put her hands on the burning red cage beside her and warmed it, her amber eyes shining like jewels under the reflection of the charcoal fire. Guo Chengsi tilted her head sideways and subconsciously looked over, her hands were slender and skeletal, and there was a thin layer of calluses between her fingers, which was very different from the hands carefully maintained by those pampered young ladies.
He couldn't help but lean over and stretch out his big palm to gently hold her hand, and as he got closer, the breath that rushed into her nose became a little thicker. Zhong Ziyuan only felt that her cheeks were hot and hot, and gradually, her bright eyes began to become flustered and confused, and an ambiguous aura permeated between the two.
Guo Chengsi's deep and obsessive gaze lingered on her not-so-perfect hands, and his fingertips gently caressed the thin calluses of her hands. It tickled her, and she couldn't help but chuckle. The ambiguous aura between the two immediately dissipated a lot.
Guo Chengsi sighed lightly and said, "I really haven't seen a young lady like you." Anyway, it can be regarded as a family of eunuchs, but he has made himself so hard and embarrassed, why? ”
Zhong Ziyuan blinked and said, "What should the young lady of the eunuch family be like?" Every day, I sit in the embroidery room and write poems and paintings, play chess, or stewardship. Look at the ledger? I can't do that, if I stay at home every day, I'll suffocate to death. I want to take care of the ledger every day. I'm going to faint. My favorite thing is to wander around the streets, and I feel lively and interesting when I watch the people coming and going on the streets. And the smiling faces of those who have been cured by the pain are the greatest consolation for me. So it's not hard for me to be so busy all day. On the contrary, I feel that every day is very fulfilling. ”
Guo Chengsi was silent. Zhong Ziyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the hands held by the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I am not suitable for you like this."
Guo Chengsi raised his eyes to look at her, his dark eyes, the light flashed, and it was extremely deep. Half a ring, he reached out and touched her face. At this time, Zhong Ziyuan also raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he said meaningfully: "You look down on me." ”
Zhong Ziyuan was stunned. Suddenly smiled with relief and said briskly: "I'm sorry." ”
"Hmm." Guo Chengsi bowed his head proudly. "I don't want to hear anything like that next time," he said. ”
Zhong Ziyuan's fine white teeth bit her lower lip slightly, and she chuckled, "Got it." ”
Warming his hands, Zhong Ziyuan pulled down the plain silk robe from his shoulders again, revealing his bare-naked back. You can clearly see the shocking purple marks entrenched on it, which is obviously caused by the beating during training. Those scars were large and small, old and new.
Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but muttered distressedly: "Do you really think that you are beaten by iron?" After so many injuries, I didn't know if I was called earlier. She opened the medicine box she carried with her, took out some medicinal wine that invigorated blood and dispelled blood stasis, poured it into the palm of her hand, rubbed it hot, covered the bruises on his back, and began to carefully massage it. Guo Chengsi didn't speak, he closed his starry eyes slightly, enjoying her rare careful care.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the barracks, and a soldier reported outside: "General Wuxian, the prince of Shu is asking to see you outside the camp." ”
"Let him in!" Guo Chengsi said in a deep voice. The soldiers outside the house received the order and immediately turned and left. Guo Chengsi said puzzledly: "Fei has always been the most afraid of the cold, and whenever it snows, he will never stay in those places where there is no earth dragon." How can you think of my Fengtai camp today? ”
Zhong Ziyuan put away the medicine and wine, and took a robe to put on him. While helping him tidy up his clothes, she said with a smile: "Maybe there has been no one to accompany him for the past two months, and he feels bored, so he comes to us to relieve his boredom." ”
Guo Chengsi heard this. couldn't help laughing: "You have touched his temper thoroughly now." ”
Zhong Ziyuan pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "His temper is on his face!" Do you still need to touch it?"
When Zhu Fei entered the house wrapped in wind and frost, Zhong Ziyuan almost thought that it was a big bear that had forgotten to hibernate and rolled in. He was not only wearing a thick Shu brocade cotton jacket, but also a thick and plump Xuanhu cloak on the outside, and an exaggerated Xuanhu fur hat on his head. The whole person looks extremely bloated, and the elegant and elegant show of the past has long been gone.
Inside, he stomped on the snow on his sheepskin boots and said with a smile, "You guys have taken a mouth, and someone has brought me a few deer today." I was bored eating alone, so I simply brought one over. Throw it in the room now, and we'll bake it later. Hearing this, Zhong Ziyuan and Guo Chengsi couldn't help but smile at each other, this guy is really boring.
Zhu Feifeng's eyes fell on Zhong Ziyuan, and after looking up and down a few times, he couldn't help but fuss and said, "What kind of dress are you?" It's ugly. Then he pinched his nose and shouted in disgust: "There is still a strange smell on my body, I said that you are not here to be a military doctor?" How to make yourself like a gang leader. ”
Because Zhong Ziyuan was active in the barracks, he did not wear the robes that were carefully sewn by Qingdai at home, but put on a dark blue rough cotton military uniform like those soldiers. For ease of movement, she also wore a thick cowhide belt around her waist. In addition, she had been boiling ginger soup in the room before, and the bloated cotton clothes on her body were also stained with a faint smell of fireworks. Look at it from afar. is just like those reckless big-headed soldiers, no wonder Zhu Fei, who is used to being exquisite, is not pleasing to the eye.
Zhong Ziyuan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I don't look good." Don't look at it. You think you look good like a bear. ”
Zhu Fei's phoenix eyes bent slightly, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Since the two of you entered this Fengtai camp, no one has been arguing with me for a long time, I really miss it!" ”
Zhong Ziyuan crossed his waist and replied sharply: "I've seen people looking for food to eat, and I've also seen people looking for silver flowers, but I really haven't seen you rush to find scolding like this." Guo Chengsi couldn't help laughing. Zhong Ziyuan proudly raised his little chin, pushed open the camp gate and walked out.
"It's really hard to raise only women and villains!" Zhu Fei stupidly took off the Xuanhu cloak and sat down in front of the fire cage. Stretched out his hands that were almost frozen, faintly purple and black, and caged them. He has always had a heart disease, even if he can't tolerate the cold or the scorching heat, and he is always exposed to these two extreme weather. He also has a much more frequent chance of getting sick.
After a few pleasantries. Zhu Fei said suddenly: "Do you know that the Queen Mother's head stroke is getting worse and worse, and now she is bedridden, and she is asleep for at least half of the day." ”
Guo Chengsi was shocked, he really didn't know about this, and said in surprise: "How can this be?" Isn't there anything anyone in the hospital can do? ”
A strange light flashed in Zhu Fei's eyes, and he quickly covered it again. He only pursed his lips and said, "You don't know the people in the Tai Hospital, they are all deep in the golden mean. The medicine prescribed is not good for treating people and eating people, and the Queen Mother falls into their hands. Where is it good. Guo Chengsi also knew the problems of everyone in the Tai Hospital, and he just smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard the words.
Zhu Fei suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I remember that the Queen Mother's head wind disease was favored by the Zhongyuan envoy in the past, but now she is so sick, but the Tai Hospital has no way, isn't it a good time for the Zhongyuan to come forward!" ”
Guo Chengsi's heart moved, and said: "You mean to take the opportunity of the Queen Mother's serious illness to recommend the Zhongyuan envoy to the Queen Mother's illness, so that he can take the opportunity to get out of prison?" ”
Zhu Fei nodded and said: "Yes, no matter how heavy the concubine in the emperor's heart is, it can't be as heavy as the queen mother, this is a great opportunity." ”
Guo Chengsi couldn't sit still, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, and began to think carefully in his heart. Zhu Fei looked at him and said hurriedly: "What are you hesitating about, the opportunity is just like this, if you let it go, I don't know when it will be next time." ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Chengsi still shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, in case you recommend Zhongyuan to make it." But he couldn't cure the queen mother's headwind, wouldn't it make the emperor even more angry? Both of them and their husbands are now under my protection, and there is no danger except that they are not free to move. Let's not be so anxious, we should wait for a more secure opportunity. The corners of Zhu Fei's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.
Guo Chengsi sat down again and sighed: "No wonder I haven't seen Yi for a long time, he must be anxious during this time!" ”
Zhu Fei lowered his head, rubbed his hands that were gradually regaining warmth, and said, "It should be!" I saw him outside the palace gate some time ago. Seeing that he was a lot haggard, I heard him say that the Queen Mother is seriously ill now, and she said that she would be relieved if she wanted to see him get married as soon as possible. So he had to take care of the Queen Mother while preparing for the marriage, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to you and me. ”
Guo Chengsi frowned and said, "It's so urgent, is it the young lady of Mrs. Liu's family?" ”
Zhu Fei nodded and said, "Yes, he nodded and agreed, and the emperor personally pointed out the marriage." ”
Guo Chengsi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I didn't expect the three of us, he was the first to get married." I don't know what kind of charm the young lady of Mrs. Liu's family has, she can make him who is used to being comfortable and surrender willingly. ”
While speaking, Zhong Ziyuan pushed open the door with a bowl of steaming ginger soup and walked in, she didn't hear anything else, but she heard the words 'Miss Liu's family clearly. She hurriedly stuffed the ginger soup into Zhu Fei's hand, and then asked eagerly, "What's wrong with the young lady of Mrs. Liu's family?" ”
Guo Chengsi was surprised: "Are you very familiar with the young lady of Mrs. Liu's family?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan knew that the two people in front of her had already checked their details clearly, and she no longer concealed it, nodded and said: "Sister Liu has always regarded me as her own sister, and I also regard her as the closest person, I want to know about her." ”
When Guo Chengsi and Zhu Fei heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and Guo Chengsi said: "Then you don't have to worry, your good sister is about to become the most envied person among the nobles of Chang'an City." ”
Zhu Fei slowly blew the ginger soup in his hand, took a small sip, and said with a smile: "It's not!" Prince Rui and Princess yes! In the past few days, I don't know how many Chang'an nobles have cried red eyes and rubbed their liver and sausages. ”
"Princess Rui?" Zhong Ziyuan was stunned, her eyes gradually became confused, and she couldn't help but think of the days when she and Liu Yuqing used to laugh and have fun together, unrestrained. If you do the math, the two haven't seen each other for at least nearly a year. She couldn't help muttering: "I really didn't expect that Sister Liu would actually be going to be Prince Rui's princess." ”
The loss on her face made Guo Chengsi unhappy, and she couldn't help but say sourly: "What's wrong with being Prince Rui's princess, isn't it amazing?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan shook her head and smiled: "It's amazing, Sister Liu has always been in love with Prince Rui but is ashamed to say it, she can finally get what she wants, I'm really happy for her." It's just that "she remembered Zhu Yi's reputation as a merry man, the pink Oiran who was still entangled to this day, and the hug she picked up outside the walls of Zhongfu that day. She began to feel faintly uneasy about Liu Yuqing in her heart.
Guo Chengsi immediately asked, "Just what?" ”
Knowing that the two people in front of him had a great relationship with Zhu Yi, Zhong Ziyuan swallowed back all his worries about Liu Yuqing, and only sighed: "It's just that I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little." ”
Zhu Fei happened to drink the last mouthful of ginger soup, so he asked casually: "That's not simple, the lady and the young lady of Mrs. Liu's mansion are going to Jinyu Mantang to choose jewelry in seven days." When the time comes, you can go to the Golden Jade Hall and wait, and you will be able to meet her. ”
Zhong Ziyuan was surprised: "How do you know? "Jinyu Mantang is the most luxurious jewelry shop in Chang'an City, and Mrs. Liu's family will definitely choose this place when they buy a dowry for Miss Yan. But how could Zhu Fei even know so clearly which day they were going?
Guo Chengsi immediately explained her confusion: "Do you remember that Yuji?" is the boss behind the scenes. Zhong Ziyuan was speechless for a moment
As if to confirm the uneasiness in Zhong Ziyuan's heart, at this moment, outside the majestic and luxurious Prince Rui's mansion, there was really an uninvited guest.
Ye Meisu held Ying'er's hand and stood for a long time under the smooth white jade steps. She was wearing a thin moon-white feather cloak, her much thinner body was shivering, and her cheeks, which had been bright and showy, were now red from the cold. A pair of thick-soled magpie spring embroidery shoes on his feet have long been stained by snow, cold, damp, and dirty.
Ying'er looked up at the gloomy sky, and there seemed to be signs of imminent snowfall, and the pedestrians on the road were also curling their necks and holding their hands, hurrying back and forth. She couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Miss, the people in the concierge have said that Prince Rui is not in the mansion at the moment, so wouldn't you be ruining your body in vain." Let's find a place to avoid the snow first! ”
Ye Meisu bit her thin lips, which had turned purple, and said sadly: "Now where else can I go except here?" (To be continued......)
