Chapter 204: Waiting
Less than twelve hours later, Liu Yu came to the Capital International Airport again, after completing the check-in procedures. He walked in front of the fat man and Su Wei who came to see him off, the former looked at him calmly, Liu Yuchao stretched out his arms, the fat man hesitated slightly, but still smiled and greeted him, just like in the past, they each punched each other, and then hugged each other.
"Have a nice trip."
"Take care, too, and if you have time, go pick her up."
I couldn't hold back, Liu Yu still added one more sentence, and the fat man's body was obviously stagnant, but he didn't say anything, and then the two let go. Liu Yu looked at Su Wei with a smile, and the latter also gave him a warm smile back.
"I won't hug you or me, the time is too rushed, and I didn't take my aunt and you to play in the imperial capital, next time, next time."
Su Wei said "um", this trip is very strange, the whole country has walked around, but nothing has been done. However, after giving some work, I learned about the progress of Qiongya City, threw her a house and car, and left in a hurry.
Sending Liu Yu away, Su Wei took the fat man's car back to the city, she planned to clean up the house first, and then let her mother move over. In any case, it was much better than the small room she had rented before, and it could save a lot of rent.
She knew that this was Liu Yu's kindness, not sympathy and pity, and people had taken care of her self-esteem very much, so that she couldn't say anything to refuse. This affection is very important in her opinion, but it is just a gesture to others, so so be it, anyway, she is still working for him.
"Yuzi is a good person, unlike me, in short, if you really like him, don't hurt him."
Hearing the fat man's words coldly, Su Wei turned his head to look at him, and the fat man drove the car with a concentrated face, and never opened his mouth again, as if what he said just now was not what he said. In the same way, the statement seems to have been said, Su Wei felt very strange, didn't their husband and wife never worry that it was the boss who hurt her?
When I returned to Lin'an City, it was already dark, but fortunately, there was no curfew in the city, and people were not forbidden to walk at night. Still, probably out of habit, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and many places were hung with lanterns, not pitch black, but of course dark in some places, and he was worried that a man or a dog would suddenly pop out of the alley.
Fortunately, there was a lantern hanging on the gate of his mansion, which could be seen from a distance, but after getting closer, Liu Yu found that the door of the mansion was open. The old housekeeper stood on the steps and probed his brain, wasn't the person who followed him Sun Qi? If you don't go home so late, the city gates are already closed.
"Lang Lang Jun!"
Seeing his figure, the old butler seemed incredulous, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again before calling out. Sun Qi was even more dumbfounded, unable to speak, Liu Yu was very strange about their reaction, wasn't he waiting for himself?
"Lao Qi, these medicines are prescribed to your mother, how to take them, write them on paper in detail, if you know the words, do it yourself." I won't be able to get out of the city this time, so I'll go home early tomorrow morning, and hurry up and give her something to eat, maybe it will get better soon. ”
"What are you doing here, who is going to come to the house? Oh, I know, it's the second brother, did he arrive so late? ”
Throwing the medicine in his hand along with the instructions to Sun Qi, it was a four-month supply, a big bag full, Sun Qi took it with a blank expression, and even forgot about thanks. Liu Yu then asked, he suddenly remembered that Ye Yingyou would arrive in the next two days, could it be this?
"The eldest lady has entered the palace, it has been four hours, there is no news at this time, and the little messenger is waiting outside the Hening Gate, and he has not waited for anyone to come out. The little ones were a little worried, so they kept watch here, never thinking that Lang Jun would come back. ”
Jing Niang went to the palace? Liu Yu didn't think it was so surprising, and his little wife would go on a trip from time to time. Sometimes he goes by himself, sometimes he goes with the Yun Niang of the Xie family, he looked at the sky, generally speaking, he rarely stays so late, is it that he is happy to have fun today, and he is left to eat?
"The thirteenth sister hasn't returned yet? Ziqing! You're finally back. ”
Just about to ask a question, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, Ye Yingji's voice came into his ears, Liu Yu turned back in surprise, he walked in a hurry, holding the corner of his robe with one hand, almost running to the front.
"What's going on, why are you waiting with such expressions?"
"You don't know?"
This time, even Liu Yu was a little anxious, Ye Mansion is not far from here, and it belongs to the same square, but there is usually nothing to do, and Ye Yingji rarely comes to the door, let alone at such a late hour, something must have happened, as soon as he thought of the little girl, his tone became stiff.
"The court wants to negotiate peace with the Yuan people, and the appointment is sent over, and the condition put forward by the people is that you can ask the envoy to go to their capital. When the news reached the house, the thirteenth sister immediately decided to enter the palace to see the saint, and the second brother also returned to Qingyuan Mansion overnight, and went to ask his father for advice. ”
As soon as he heard that it was not about Jing Niang, Liu Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as for what the matter, he didn't care about it now. There is only one priority, to pick up my wife immediately, and it is very unreassuring to throw her outside in this big night.
"Yunyong, don't be bored for a while, what's the matter, wait for a certain to pick up Jing Niang back, hurry up and prepare the horse, a certain will go to the inner city."
The old housekeeper listened to his instructions and immediately called someone to do it, and he also sent a waist card for court clothes, without which he could not enter the palace. After preparing to stop, Liu Yu jumped on his horse and galloped towards the palace gate with two entourages.
In the dormitory behind the Ciyuan Palace, several palace maids are replacing lamps and candles and incense, and at this time in the past, the Empress Dowager fell asleep early in the morning. But today, after she came back from the front hall, she sat there motionless, her face was not very good, and the palace people who were waiting were all cautious, for fear that she would make a mistake and provoke the saint to anger.
The sound of "boom" came from the ground, which broke the tranquility in the palace, Xie Shi woke up from a dream, raised his eyes and looked, except for the female official standing aside, the other palace people were busy, and there was her seal on the small table in front of him, which was now almost equivalent to the effectiveness of the national seal.
"What time has it been?"
"It's the first shift, and the saint is still settled."
Finally waited for Xie Shi to open his mouth, and the female officer hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, but she didn't dare to say a word before, but her heart was always hanging.
"She's still waiting?"
"Yes, the news just came, and even the princess went to persuade her in person, but Liu Ren still refused to leave, because she stood for so long at a young age."
Xie originally blurted out, but she didn't expect that the person really hadn't left, the weather at this time was extremely hot, she was wearing a heavy court dress, just standing outside the hall, alas, what a stubborn woman.
Sigh and sigh, but Xie Shi had no way to see her, she thought that what was obvious was obvious, she couldn't agree, what was the use of meeting. I thought that when she couldn't stand it anymore, she would be sent back to the house by someone, and even the imperial doctor had been preparing for this, but who would have thought that she would be fine until now, and her physique was too good.
I don't know why, once something happens in her heart, she herself is completely sleepy, and she just wants to speak. At this moment, a woman in palace clothes walked in and bowed in front of her.
"Are you also here to persuade the old man to take back his life?"
"The slave thought that the saint was troubled and sleepless, and came to play a tranquil, but I don't know if I can hear it."
After the woman finished speaking, she stood up, walked behind Xie, and stretched out her hand to rub her shoulder. Xie Shi sat for so long, and suddenly realized that his shoulders and neck were indeed a little sore, and when he was rubbed by these hands, he was immediately relieved a lot, and the expression on his face calmed down.
"I didn't bring the piano, and I still said what to play, what do you want to say, but it's a state affair, and even I can't change it, what can you women do."
"The sage is right, women naturally can't ignore state affairs, but for Liu Ren, it's about her man, isn't this a woman's business?"
"You want me to see her and promise her that she will be safe and sound? The old body can't do it and doesn't want to lie to her, what's the benefit of seeing it. ”
Xie Shi half-closed her eyes, enjoying the comfort coming from her body, she could only say some words to this woman, and after saying it, her heart was a little lighter, but what about the one outside the hall, did it really make her stand and faint?
"The saint is merciful, how could she not know, she is only here to ask the truth in the hope of what happens. Not only her, but even the slaves don't understand, there are so many courtiers, why is he alone, Yuan Ren is so scheming, but he has bad intentions? ”
"'Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it', he is too young and too conspicuous, even the Yuan people have some scruples, but it's a pity that the old body still wants to keep him for the official family."
Muttering these words, Xie Shi suddenly stopped, reflexively grabbed her hand, and stared at her without blinking, the woman didn't know why, but she didn't have much panic.
"You just said that it was her man, not yours, remember clearly. The old body is tired and wants to rest, so you can retreat if you have nothing to do. ”
Xie stood up, walked a few steps and stopped, and pointed to the personal female officer, pointing to the seal on the small table.
"You'll remember to put it away in a moment, and you'll need it tomorrow."
After speaking, he took the female official into the back room, and as soon as the bead curtain was lowered, the woman found that she was the only one left outside, and all the palace people ran in. On the small table in front of him, the jade seal engraved with "Shouhe Shengfu Empress Dowager" was placed there, and the pure gold seal button at the top shone dazzlingly under the lamp.
What Xie Shi said before she went in has always been in her mind, why would she babble a word, do what she is used to every day, if she has to be reminded like this, how can she be close to her for decades, could it be that this is for herself?
The woman desperately suppressed the "bang" heartbeat, and a bold idea was born in her heart. She picked up a few pens and scribbled a line on a blank piece of rice paper, then picked up the big seal, dipped it in bright red ink, and slammed it on it.
"People, the saint has already slept peacefully, you might as well come back tomorrow, the palace door will be locked for a while, but you really can't get out."
"Thank you for your kindness, the slave will not go out if he can't see the saint's face today, so he doesn't need to be here to accompany him, go and rest."
Jing Niang's little face was extremely stubborn, she didn't know how many times she had rejected similar constructions, even Sister Qing was persuaded by her to go back, that was her husband, it was her God, there was no result that satisfied her, and it was not easy for anyone to persuade her.
The chubby Huang Neishou shook his head helplessly, he had done his best, this was the third and last time, if it weren't for the fact that Liu waiter was not bad, he would have gone to rest a long time ago, why not persuade him here.
This little woman's insistence touched him a little, on a hot day, there was no wind at this point, she was neatly dressed, the sweat beads on her face were wet and dry, but she didn't even untie her neckline. I've been standing for almost five hours, not moving, and there is no sign of fainting at all, what should I do? Is it really to stay with her for a night.
Only Jing Niang knows that her physical fitness is almost at the limit, and thanks to the daily exercise, it is not easy for her to persist until now. But the discomfort on her body tightened for a while, her legs shook slowly, and she also felt dizzy in her brain, she didn't know how long she could last, and now she was completely relying on an idea to grit her teeth and insist, no matter what, she must not fall down until the saint did not speak.
"Alas, I'm here to worship you, hurry up and persuade her, our family is out of line."
In a trance, a woman walked to her side, Jing Niang tried to gather her mind, and when she saw that it was the princess's qin music master, she seemed to sigh and grabbed her arm.
"Let's take a step to speak."
Before she could say no, Jing Niang was pulled aside, and just as she stood still, a roll of paper was stuffed into her hand.
"This is the decree of the saint, and the seal has been used, so take it with you, and go with him quickly." The world is so big, save your life first, as long as you pass this limelight, and then think about coming back. ”
Jing Niang was stunned by what she said, the saint is gracious? Let her husband avoid it first, she happily squeezed out a smile, but found it very difficult, and wanted to say thank you, but the woman looked very anxious.
"Hurry up, I'll be out of town tonight, it's too late, remember."
After speaking, she let go of her hand and hurried to the back of the hall, Jing Niang had not yet come to her senses, and there was a shout behind her, which she had dreamed of hearing. And immediately after, her body that was about to collapse was supported by a pair of hands, and her husband's familiar breath lingered in her nose, making her not want to stand up.
"Lady, let's go home."
Liu Yu picked her up, and when he came over, he saw the back of a woman from a distance, and he had a sense of déjà vu. But now that his heart is full of his wife, how can others no longer take it to heart, the wife in his arms is so delicate, but so strong, worthy of his protection.
