Chapter 70: Awakening
"Hey! Empress! You're waiting for Sujin! ”
The girl in the back has been following her master, and somehow tonight, the gentle Concubine Wen walked really quickly, not caring about her own dignity and dignity, just walking all the way.
"! You wait for Su Jin, Su Jin can't catch up with you......"
When Su Jin was panting and barely catching up with his master, he was shocked to find that Mo Xiru's face was already covered with tears, as if he had suffered a huge pain, which was really distressing.
"Mother...... Empress...... You're ......"
Su Jin couldn't catch up and gasp for fresh air, but was busy soothing Mo Xiru. The hasty look appeared in front of her, and she also knew where Mo Xiru's sorrow was, but she didn't know that she was hurt so deeply.
"Niangniang, don't cry, if you continue like this, Su Jin will have to cry with you."
"Sujin...... You said...... Do you say that Your Majesty cares about this palace? Not even at all? Why is His Majesty's treatment of the palace always so uncertain? Is this palace really not worthy of the pity of others? The palace doesn't want much, probably just hoping that His Majesty can give the palace a touch of warmth while caring for Miss Zhilan, but His Majesty turned the palace away, and didn't even let the door in...... Not long ago, he was clearly ...... Alas......"
The more Mo Xiru spoke, the more sad she became, and her body couldn't stop shaking because of crying, and she couldn't help herself with deep affection, Mo Xiru was really aggrieved at this time. But seeing her throw herself into the arms of the person in front of her, now in this empty palace, only Su Jin is her only place of reliance and spiritual sustenance.
"Mother, there is nothing at all! It's just that you're cranky! If Your Majesty doesn't care about you, why would he come to our dormitory tonight to accompany you? In the final analysis, today is just a bad luck, but a fire caused His Majesty to leave. But we have to think about everything, since Your Majesty can come here once or twice, there will be three or four times in the future, why worry that Your Majesty will not care about you and love you? Look at the concubine, Your Majesty has never even been to her bedroom, so it seems that Niangniang is still deeply loved by His Majesty. ”
I don't know if Su Jin's soothing words were listened to by Mo Xiru, in short, her emotions have indeed eased a lot. Not long after, Yan Qi hurried over, looking at his figure, Mo Xiru hurriedly pulled out of Su Jin's arms, and immediately wiped away the tears under his eyes in a panic, as if he was afraid that someone would see him.
"Yan Guard, why are you here?"
Mo Xiru barely pulled out a smile, but her slightly moist gaze began to dodge.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty asked me to take you to the new palace, and told you not to wade into the fire again, that side is in danger, Niangniang better stay away."
"In this way, Your Majesty has a heart......
At this moment, Mo Xiru can no longer be moved, how can a fragile heart that has just been injured be rescued and returned in the pitch? She echoed faintly, her expression was quite sad, if it had been in the past, she would have been happy for a while because of the care of the Son of Heaven.
"What's wrong with Miss Zhilan, is there any escape?"
"Answer Concubine Wen, I walked tightly in the next place, and I don't know the details of Miss Zhilan, but there is His Majesty guarding there, so there will be no big event."
"Is that so...... That's better, just bother the Yan guards to lead the palace away, and when you come back later, you must ask Your Majesty to take care of your body, he is also injured, don't delay......"
"Yes, that's my job."
After finishing speaking, Mo Xiru silently turned her head, even though her tenderness was still there, Yan Qi could clearly perceive the hopelessness and grief emanating from this person, and all of this was caused by the negligence of the Son of Heaven.
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and because of the fire that suddenly arrived tonight, the whole palace is in chaos, but Yi Zhixing, who has already jumped out of the fire, seems to be an outsider, and has never stepped out of the dormitory, let alone asked about the affairs outside the palace, although he is eager to know who the arsonist behind it is? What is the conspiracy? And is this murderer his acquaintance? But he never stepped out of the dormitory.
All of this is still in doubt, but the Son of Heaven has been guarding the temple, and he has no mind to pursue too much.
At this moment, an hour has passed since Wu Lao treated Zhilan, and Wu Lao has even recuperated from Yi Zhixing's injuries, but Yi Zhixing is still here.
Wu Lao was gone, and the Son of Heaven sat beside the case, seemingly criticizing the twists and turns.
The next moment, he stopped his pen and turned his head and stepped into the inner sanctum.
When he walked to the couch, he didn't make any moves, but just stared at the silent but haggard woman on the couch, and Zhilan's face seemed to be thinner now than the face he had seen when he first met him.
"Hmph, how many times did my dragon bed make you lie down? It's really cheap for you. ”
The mouth full of ridicule and contempt never raised the smile on the lips of the Son of Heaven, he stared at the person in front of him, the memory in his mind was hot and churning, it was all the memories related to Yu Zhilan, good or bad, but in the end they often stayed in a good situation.
Zhilan didn't have any intention of waking up, and Yi Zhixing's long sighs and short sighs had been made a lot.
"Traitor, if you can't be used by me in the future, then I will definitely kill you."
The evil face reappeared, as if to justify his actions today, the Son of Heaven said to himself. The next moment, I saw him snort coldly, then brushed his sleeves away, and returned to the case side of the outer hall to deal with political affairs. However, tonight's political affairs did not seem to be able to mobilize all the prudence of the Son of Heaven as in the past, and in less than half an hour, the Son of Heaven fell to the side of the desk and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, rumors spread inside and outside the palace, and Yi Zhixing's originally handy situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he was no longer under his control.
However, he didn't know all this at this moment, the clothes on his body were put on for him when Yan Qi arrived in the middle of the night, and the Son of Heaven was still lying next to the desk, in a long-lost sleep, Yi Zhixing rarely had such a peaceful night's sleep.
It was Zhilan who woke up before him, and when the woman's eyes opened, the memory of last night had instantly sprung into her mind, so clear that her sleepy eyes were still unable to accommodate the surrounding scenes, and her thoughts had completely awakened from the residual tremors.
"This ...... It's easy ......."
Obviously, when she saw the current situation clearly, even if she recognized the place where she lived now, she had already moved from the dark and gloomy private palace to the carved and jade palace of the Son of Heaven.
Zhi Lan was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously sat up, although this action was enough to kill her for half of her life.
"Excuse me...... Anyone? ”
There was a call, but no one answered, but at this time, Zhilan's lips were already chapped and white, and she really wanted to drink a pot of water under the roasting of last night's fire.
Repeatedly called, but often silent, in desperation, Zhi Lan had to endure the pain of the sick body to get up, trembling and holding on to the wall, staggering and painfully came to the outer hall, it took almost half a pillar of incense.
At this time, Dan saw that the Son of Heaven was lying on his stomach next to the case, looking motionless, and he was probably asleep. Zhi Lan was immediately stunned, but she still walked straight to that side, because the Son of Heaven had all the water on the table, and she was really thirsty.
I don't know if it was her movement that disturbed the Son of Heaven's sweet dream, or if the Son of Heaven woke up naturally, when Zhi Lan's steps did not reach the side of the case, Yi Zhixing slowly lifted the beast-like head from the case.
The drowsiness was still strong, but when he saw Zhi Lan's figure, Yi Zhixing suddenly became nervous.
"What are you going to do?"
The man's sudden stern voice shocked Zhi Lan, and she stumbled this time really unstable and fell down fiercely. Fortunately, Yi Zhixing's eyes were quick and he immediately made up for his mistakes with his vigorous skills, and Zhilan was firmly caught by him.
"What the hell are you doing?"
With the voice of the Son of Heaven, Zhi Lan, who was in his arms, stood up in an instant, staggered a few steps, and then stood still.
"I'm thirsty and want water."
As soon as the words fell, Yi Zhixing glared at her, but at the same time quickly poured a cup of water for her, Zhilan quickly poured the water into her stomach after taking the cup, and then handed the empty cup in her hand back to the person in front of her.
"One more drink."
Losing his old anger, his tone was mixed with some vague and implicit meanings, Yi Zhixing was a little uncomfortable, and the accusations he wanted to blurt out could only rot in his stomach, looking at Zhi Lan's pitiful appearance at this time, Yi Zhixing couldn't help her at all, which made him a little uneasy.
After drinking four or five glasses of water in a row, Zhilan's chapped lips eased slightly, and she didn't say anything more, just turned back indifferently, without thanking or scolding, and was surprisingly quiet.
However, the stumbling figure did not listen to her at all, and after just one step, the blood on Zhilan's back was stained again, followed by another fall.
However, this time, the Son of Heaven still caught her quickly, but he did not continue to tolerate Zhilan's reckless behavior like Shicai, on the contrary, once he caught the woman's body, he picked her up on the spot, and then walked quickly into the inner hall.
"Hey......"
In the face of this overly intimate behavior, Zhi Lan finally said something, she couldn't refuse, but in just a few steps, she had completely blushed, and of course, the crimson on Yi Zhixing's cheeks was only a lot more.
"I just think you're troublesome, I think you're an eyesore, so I helped you from the side, you don't need to think about it."
The Son of Heaven explained coldly, and at the same time removed his crimson face, not glancing at Zhi Lan.
What is strange is that now Zhilan no longer sneers at the opportunity as in the past, and she is really much more indifferent and demure when she gets out of the fire.
"I wouldn't think much of it."
Almost a few words that are not salty or light, Zhilan's voice is not weak at all, and there is no emotion at all. Her indifference made Yi Zhixing unexpected, and he was even more at a loss, he suddenly felt that the distance between him and Zhilan was inexplicably pushed apart by something, which was separated by a layer of mysterious veil, so that he couldn't beat, scolded and scolded, it was obvious that he was the person he hated, but he couldn't help but take care of it inexplicably, and the depression was piled up in the angry heart of the Son of Heaven.
"That's very good."
Yi Zhixing put Zhilan here with Zhizhi, and even if he returned to the case again, the two had no intention of quarreling, let alone the true feelings of caring for each other.
However, Yi Zhixing's demeanor after his trip was inexplicably wrapped in a faint anger and anxiety, and his vicious posture returned again. And the woman lying on the couch inside was just lying silently, her face sluggish, her eyes empty and blank, as if she was thinking about something, and as if she was not thinking about anything.
The wordless tacit understanding between the two lasted for half an hour, until a roar outside completely tore apart the inexplicable atmosphere here.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What the hell is going on! ”
What's going on? Yi Zhixing also wanted to know, what caused Mo Hongfeng to be so anxious and disregard his prestige? Could it be ...... Was it the events of last night that were exposed?
