164. Thoughtful
In the inner room, an ordinary oil lamp was lit, and in the shadow of the lamp, Gu Moyan's cold side face was even more angular, at this time, he was leaning sideways, moving to the side of the bed and looking at a book, and when he heard the footsteps coming in, he didn't look up, but just picked up the pages of the book and gently turned over a book.
Lin Mu'er slowed down, looked at Gu Moyan's drooping eyelids, casting a shadow under her thick eyelashes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This Gu family's skin is really good!
"Lord Wang, it's getting late, let's watch it after dinner?" Lin Mu'er opened her mouth gently, but her eyes were carefully observing Gu Moyan. Seeing that his expression was as usual, and he was not as unhappy as Hong Xing said, he also relaxed slightly, with a little smile, and stood in front of Gu Moyan.
"Good!" It was still a voice as clear as jade, faint, without a trace of emotion, just closed the book and put it on the low table next to the bed.
Seeing that he was still the same as usual, although he still had a cold face, but it was rare to see him smile on weekdays, Lin Mu'er couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the girl who was Hongxing, it must have been Gu Moyan's appearance that frightened her, and the little girl thought that she had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to do anything.
Twisted the hot handkerchief and cleaned her hands, the girls also came in with a tray, Lan Xue set up a low table, put on the dishes, a few light dishes commonly used, and an extra plate of peach blossom cake brought back from the drunken flower shade, placed in a few plates of plain dishes, the pink color jumped out at a glance, and the plain white added a little joy.
"Lord Wang, this is a pastry brought back by Drunken Huayin, I ate it well, so I brought some back, do you want to try it?" Lin Mu'er spread the dishes, pointed to the tempting plate of peach blossoms and smiled.
Gu Moyan nodded, and Lin Mu'er took a piece of it, but he only ate two or three bites, and then put it aside, seeing Gu Moyan's lack of interest, the smile on Lin Mu'er's face was a little unbearable: "Isn't it delicious?" ”
"I'm tired of it." Gu Moyan was not polite, took a sip of water, as if he didn't notice Lin Mu'er's embarrassment, wiped his hands and continued: "Sit down and eat together, it should be cold for a while." ”
Looking at Gu Moyanyun's breezy appearance, Lin Mu'er didn't know if he really didn't like sweetness, he only remembered his resistance to sleep that day and refused to drink bitter medicine, and couldn't help but refute: "Well, it's sweeter, if you drink bitter medicine one day, with this, you can go to bitterness!" ”
Gu Moyan raised his hand to pick up the vegetables slightly, looked up at Lin Mu'er, who seemed to have a teasing look, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still continued: "If you think it's good, let them prepare it next time!" ”
Lin Mu'er couldn't react a little, and stared at Gu Moyan in surprise with wide eyes: How did this become his own antidote to bitterness!
Gu Moyan was still eating the side dishes on the plate slowly, and he didn't feel that what he said was inappropriate, although Lin Mu'er was unhappy in his heart, he finally looked at it, and said in his belly: It's okay, what do you do with him, if you don't like to eat, you don't like to eat!
Seeing that Gu Moyan didn't want anyone to serve him, he simply took the dishes and brought them over, and ate a lot at noon, so he didn't feel hungry, and he still only ate a piece of peach blossom crisp and a bowl as if he was angry
White fungus soup. The two of them did not speak again until they finished eating.
The night of early spring is still a little cold and biting, this time, it is actually raining again, after serving the masters to freshen up, Hong Xing added a few pieces of hot carbon to the smoked cage, and stuffed a soup woman in Lin Muer's brocade quilt, and then led everyone down to rest.
"I'm in the palace today, but it's going well?"
Just as Lin Mu'er was covering her mouth and yawning and preparing to rest, she was unguarded, Gu Moyan opened her mouth, and as soon as the words fell, the candle wick not far away "crackled", which startled Lin Mu'er.
Lin Mu'er patted his chest, his face was still frightened, and he only squeezed out a reluctant smile to deal with it: "It's okay, anyway, it can be regarded as a worthy mission." ”
"Is it..."Gu Moyan put down the scroll in his hand, and his deep eyes looked directly at Lin Mu'er, whose face was still stiff: "The emperor dropped the teacup, and the concubine should be grounded, what kind of situation made our majesty move such a thunderous rage!" ”
Lin Mu'er smiled wryly, a little embarrassed, the words came to her mouth, but she was a little embarrassed to say it, the trick of crying and making trouble, in the end, she couldn't get on the stage, and finally she was forced to take a risk, although she got what she wanted, but she didn't know what kind of thorn she had buried in the emperor's heart.
"It's just, just to tell the truth, which made the emperor a little unhappy." Picking, Lin Mu'er only said these words vaguely.
Gu Moyan is such a foolish person, his cold face was a little playful, and he looked at the cramped Lin Mu'er so straightly: "Oh? Fact? What did the princess tell the truth? ”
Lin Mu'er avoided Gu Moyan's eyes, although she didn't look at her with any oppression at all, but it made people feel nervous for no reason, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, Lin Mu'er sat sideways on the embroidery stool on the side, sighed slightly, knowing that Gu Moyan was determined to ask, and no longer covered it up, and told the things in the imperial study as it was.
For a moment, the room was eerily quiet, as if the sound of candles flickering could be heard.
"Huh!" After a long time, the smile on Gu Moyan's lips was even worse, and he dusted the scroll in his hand, revealing a few hints of approval: "I didn't realize that Princess Jin is not only courageous, but also transparent, and the likes and dislikes of our Liang Tianzi are seen by you clearly." ”
"You... Aren't you sad? Lin Mu'er looked at Gu Moyan who was smiling with satisfaction, and couldn't help blurting out that at the moment in the imperial study, in the face of the emperor's perfunctory and ruthless attitude, Lin Mu'er couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart. But at this moment, Gu Moyan is a relaxed appearance of staying out of the matter.
Gu Moyan didn't speak, but just pulled the brocade quilt covering his body, and his expression became serious: "Do you know that I am in this capital, but I actually have nothing to rely on." ”
Gu Moyan's face was calm, and suddenly he said this so seriously, Lin Mu'er couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and he didn't know what he meant by this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to look at him with some doubts.
"I'm afraid you can also feel it, although this Jin Wangfu has been cleaned and pulled out a lot of eyeliner, but..."
After a pause, he said in a calm voice: "I'm sorry for my mother's business." ”
Lin Mu'er's heart sank, and she looked at Gu Moyan with some surprise, Xu is candle flame was dim, and the flickering light reflected on Gu Moyan's face, which seemed a little unreal. Lin Mu'er seemed to see a little apology in those deep eyes, but in her heart she suspected that she had seen something wrong! For a while, I was even more apprehensive in my heart.
"You..."
"This Jin Palace, in fact, is just a brocade of flowers deliberately held out by the emperor! It looks like it's beautiful, but it's like walking on thin ice inside. Without waiting for Lin Mu'er to speak, Gu Moyan skipped her shocked face and continued to talk to herself.
"I haven't been in the capital for a long time, and the people in this capital are completely incomprehensible, let alone help in the court. Now, the emperor has not torn his face in front of everyone, and I am still the favored King of Jin. After a pause, Gu Moyan snorted lightly: "I can now lie in the Jin Palace's mansion to recuperate, and what I rely on is only the 300,000 ironclad army in the northern Xinjiang." ”
The Iron Armor Army, hearing Gu Moyan mention the Iron Armor Army again, Lin Mu'er's heart was a little calmer, the military power was in hand, no matter what, it was always able to be deterred.
"However, it's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows! In this capital, if you leave the Jin Palace, I'm afraid, I won't be able to protect you! As soon as the words changed, Gu Moyan suddenly popped out of this sentence.
Lin Mu'er's originally relaxed mood suddenly tensed up again: What do you mean?
"Nowadays, the time for planning is still short, and everything is at stake, and our own safety is of the essence, and we must not be brave for a while!" Gu Moyan's face was calm, his eyes were focused, and he solemnly looked at Lin Mu'er, who was a little overwhelmed in front of him.
"I..." Lin Mu'er was a little embarrassed, although she had done something, but she also knew in her heart that if she didn't die and Concubine Yi made a mess in it, it was still unknown whether she could get out of it with her whole body. And at this moment, Gu Moyan, who was originally silent, actually revealed his shortcomings and told himself that if he was reckless, he would not be able to protect himself!
"I'm sorry, I was reckless!" Lin Mu'er pursed her lips, her eyes sour.
Seeing that Lin Mu'er's eyes were filled with tears, Gu Moyan frowned slightly: "I have thought about this again, is it difficult or is it too serious?"
"You don't have to think about it too much, this trip to Yunshui Hot Spring is imperative, even if you can't ask for it in front of the emperor, I will definitely be able to think of other ways, don't have to take such risks." Looking at Lin Mu'er's appearance holding back tears, Gu Moyan finally said one more word.
Lin Mu'er nodded, knowing that he had good intentions, but he couldn't hold his face and his head was confused, and he couldn't ease up for a while.
Seeing her like this, Gu Moyan sighed slightly: "Do you know that this trip to Yunshui Hot Spring is also dangerous." In your mind, you'd better have some plans. ”
"Dangerous?" Lin Mu'er raised her head, the tears in her eyes did not disappear, under the reflection of the candle flame, like pieces of broken gold on the surface of the lake, shining brightly, sultry but unconscious, still tilted her head and wondered: "Why is there danger?" ”
Gu Moyan's pupils shrank slightly, and he coughed lightly: "That Yunshui Hot Spring is surrounded by mountains on three sides
Leaving only a path for carriages to enter and exit, it seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if he has the heart, he will only have someone to block the exit......"
Gu Moyan didn't finish speaking, but Lin Mu'er suddenly understood what he meant: "Since you already know, then, why do you still want to go?" ”
"Talisman." Gu Moyan's words were concise, and he bent his fingers and knocked on the book in his hand: "That holy decree, within three months, if you can't find the talisman, if the emperor wants to move me, it will be justified!" So, it's better to take the initiative. ”
Lin Mu'er was even more puzzled, what does this have to do with the talisman? When I entered Yunshui Hot Spring, I was obviously sitting and waiting to die, but how did I take the initiative?
