Chapter 36: Mingchen
At three o'clock, there was a woman in scarlet clothes kneeling outside Bao and Lin Dong's wing, her cloud bun was lightly pulled, delicate, and behind her stood a handsome young man in her early twenties, who was frowning and leaning over to pull her up, "Little sister, what's the matter?" ”
"Your Highness is still in a coma now, so if my sister thinks it is useful to kneel, she will keep kneeling." Cai Ling strode out of the house and walked into the courtyard, but stood a foot away from the two of them. The person who was guarding the prince's bed and only begged him to wake up safely had to be pulled to take care of these things. She was also angry in her heart.
The young man's face was cold, and his eyes were guarded when he looked at Cai Ling, but the kneeling woman seemed to have seen a savior, and begged: "Liangfu negligently made this big mistake, Mingyue shouldn't have come to ask for her sister, but it was a matter of the safety of the whole family, and Mingyue had to come." ”
Cai Ling was unmoved, "When you connived at your sister-in-law's misdeeds, did you think about the consequences?" ”
"Mingyue is at fault!" Liang Mingyue kowtowed twice, Cai Ling was soft-hearted, and kowtowing in Weiyang was also forced by the situation, unless it was a moment of life and death, who was willing to take the body to suffer, Mingyue said, "If my sister is willing to help Liangfu once, Mingyue will not dare to complain if she is a cow and a horse in this life." ”
Cai Ling thought to herself: How can I let you be a cow and a horse. There was no pity on his face, and he only turned his eyes to look at the young man with anger in his eyes, "Who is this?" ”
The young man kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, Mingyue hurriedly said, "Brother Mingchen." ”
The third uncle in Yuan'er's mouth, and the younger brother in the mouth of the third sister-in-law who can leap into the dragon gate. Cai Ling looked him up and down for a moment, and muttered: "Ten years of cold windows, the palace test is in April." He glanced at the haggard Liang Mingyue again before he said, "Mingyue, you are too considerate of them." ”
was already about to help her up, "If His Highness wakes up safely today, I can give it a try." ”
"Sister's kindness, Mingyue will repay him one day." When Liang Mingyue held Cai Ling's hand and slowly got up, she was already grateful.
Liang Mingchen stood on one side, as if it was none of his business.
After the two brothers and sisters left Mingyue, Cai Ling returned to the prince's sickbed. Wei Wei, who has been recuperating in the treasure and forest, is now very well, and is serving and taking care of the prince wholeheartedly.
After entering the house, Cai Ling took a light step, Wei Wei still turned her head to look at her, it was the alienated and guarded glance that made Cai Ling lose the courage to approach.
"Has Your Highness woken up?" Cai Ling couldn't help but ask.
"I lost too much blood, I'm afraid I won't wake up tonight." Wei Wei was still polite, "Girl, please go back, I will take care of His Highness here." ”
Cai Ling was reluctant to leave, she was not even willing to hand over the injured Shen Muchi to others, but the woman in front of her was a person who took care of his daily life, how could she say a "no".
"This matter started from me, if I can't see His Highness awake safely, how dare I leave." Cai Ling has a strong and resolute attitude.
Wei Wei sat on the edge of the bed, put her hands on the prince's right hand, and held it tightly, "The girl is right, His Royal Highness is coming to take me back to the palace, if it weren't for the girl's sudden visit in the morning and a sudden accident, this incident would never have happened." ”
It turned out that he came to pick up Wei Wei back to the palace in the morning, and he was really in love! Holding back the sourness in her heart, she said softly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”
Where is she a person who will easily admit her mistakes with irrelevant people, but in order to be able to stay in this room, to be able to guard Shen Muchi to wake up, let her do anything, let alone just say a few good words!
Wei Wei saw that he couldn't get rid of her, so he didn't say much, and only looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with white lips on the bed with concern. Cai Ling stood in the distance and also stood on tiptoe for a while.
Until late at night, Wei Wei naturally lay on the inside of Shen Muchi's sickbed, as if Cailing did not exist. Although the bed was spacious, after all, lying in one place, Cai Ling's heart was already sour, but her eyes only stayed on Shen Muchi's face.
The senior brother knocked on the door, and when he saw this scene, he sighed slightly, and said to Cai Ling: "Master has asked people to prepare a side room, you can go with me." ”
"Please close the door when you go out." The man on the bed took the command.
Cai Ling didn't want to stay any longer, so he followed the senior brother to the outside of the house, and then thanked the senior brother and said, "The weather is not cold, I will wait under this roof, maybe he will wake up in a short time." ”
Seeing that she was resolute and couldn't persuade her again, the senior brother shook his head and left. Cai Ling sat on the stone steps under the eaves, the lower Xuanyue was cold, Bao and the forest were silent, too many thoughts flashed in his mind, so he had to bury his head between his legs.
Sitting for two hours, sleepless, in the silence she heard the sound of rustling in the room, nervously quickly stood up suddenly, just approached the closed door, Wei Wei's voice was like a bird, "Your Highness, you finally woke up......"
The hanging heart finally fell into the stomach. Cai Ling pursed her lips, her right hand gently landed on the door panel, without making any sound, and heard the prince ask, "What time?" "Although the voice is weak, the breath is smooth.
"At the end of the day." Wei Wei turned over and got out of bed, and then listened to her persuade, "Your Highness, please drink water." ”
Cai Ling put her ear to the crack in the door, listening carefully to see if he was drinking. After a while, I heard Wei Wei persuade, "It's still early, Your Highness should sleep for a while." ”
He didn't speak, he should have been lying down again, Cai Ling just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard him ask, "Where is Miss Jiang?" ”
Cai Ling's heart was like beating a drum, and she wanted to push the door in immediately, but she heard Wei Wei say: "I have already rested in the West Wing." If Your Highness wants to see her, it will not be too late tomorrow morning. ”
He didn't speak again. Cai Ling waited, and it was the sound of Wei Wei turning over to bed. Sleeping together was acquiesced by him. I'm jealous again, damn it! Let's go to the West Wing, but I don't know which room it is. Go back to Dongxi Building, and I am afraid that he will return to the palace early after dawn, so he has not even said a word of thanks.
She sat down under the eaves again, and the evening breeze brought birdsong, and the sky in the distance showed a hint of fish-belly white, and gradually the day was about to dawn, and when the sun came out, it would not be cold. She sat with her arms wrapped and continued to bury her head between her legs, unconsciously falling asleep.
"Ginger girl!" The little master who got up in the morning and swept couldn't help but call her.
She woke up from the dream in a daze, the morning breeze was cold, and the pain on her face was raw, and when she looked closely, it turned out that her hair and clothes were covered with dew, and even her face was frozen red. Originally, it was the warm weather in March, who would have thought that it would be so cold early in the morning, usually after she slept in Dongxi Building until the end of the hour, even sent Yuan'er to He Yue to be responsible, and she had never seen the sunrise in spring. It turned out that the sun rose from the east, and it was red like a sugar cake turned by Yuan'er.
"Girls don't sit here all night." The little master held the broom and looked at her with curiosity.
She hurriedly made a silent gesture, and suddenly there was a noise in the room, and Wei Wei came to open the door. It was at that moment that the door was opened, Cai Ling bounced up from the stone steps and patted the snow-white pear blossoms that fell on the skirt, "I just woke up, and when I saw that His Highness hadn't gotten up yet, I enjoyed the flowers here for a while." ”
"Flower viewing?" Shen Muchi didn't know when he was already standing behind Wei Wei. What was draped on her body was the big puff he threw to her when the peach forest got together that day, and she washed it a few days ago and returned it to Wei Wei. Now that he was wearing a wound just enough to cover his shoulder, Cai Ling wanted to see his wound, but to no avail. I was stunned in my heart, but seeing him standing in front of me, it should be fine, and my hanging heart gradually fell back to its original place.
"When will you return to the palace?" This was the first thing she said after seeing him, there was no concerned inquiry, not crying with joy like Wei Wei, not even retaining, only asking when he would leave.
"Let's go." He replied coldly, Wei Wei never thought that he would say this, and it was difficult to hide his joy.
"I'll send it to Your Highness." This time she was very proactive.
The two walked side by side in the courtyard, and she wanted to speak and stopped. He sent Wei Wei away, and there was no one to help him, so his body inevitably tilted a little. Cai Ling held his arm with both hands, and he was tall, looking at her with his eyelashes lowered, his eyes complicated.
"Your Highness is so heavy." She laughed suddenly.
"I haven't used my full strength yet." The prince deliberately pressed most of his strength to her side, and Cai Ling immediately staggered, only trying to hold him steady, and scolded: "Be careful of falling." ”
They laughed with each other for a while, and seeing that he was about to get into the car, Cai Ling still didn't know how to speak. Helping Liangfu intercede, in fact, it is not all for Liangmingyue, she thinks about Yuan'er the most, her father has no power since Jiang Fu was guilty, and her brother is an idle person, he is just a businessman, and the backer behind Yuan'er in the future will have to be Liangfu. If Liangfu is defeated, Yu Yuan'er will be useless.
"Little Four, is there anything unspeakable?" He asked, slightly gleefully. If she said a word to stay, he could not return to the East Palace for three days. As long as she speaks.
"Brother Mu." For a long time, she politely called him the Third Highness, and when she saw each other, she bowed her knees and bowed her head to make a regular salute, and she had never called him like this. It was still on the Cuiwei Palace, and she circled around her aunt's phoenix chair, calling him from afar; The lotus lotus in the Ziwei Palace was full of ponds, and she rowed a flat boat, standing on the bow of the boat and raising her sleeves to call; In Dongxi Building, she poured wine for the young people one by one, and when she came to him, her cheeks were dyed red, and her chin called "Brother Mu". He never bothered.
"Hmm." This time he finally agreed, and he liked it when she called him that. No one has ever called him that, his sisters call him "Brother Three Emperors", and the concubines only dare to call him "Your Highness".
"This time I am really reckless, I have caused you to suffer, and I will definitely take it as a warning in the future and dare not do it arbitrarily." Cai Ling admits his mistake first.
"It's none of your business." He reassured.
Cai Ling looked into his eyes and continued: "But Sister-in-law Naliang originally had no intention of murdering the prince, so I blamed me for being too reckless and letting His Highness follow the danger." This person is mentally abnormal after experiencing the pain of losing a child, and Liangfu is just homesick and ugly, who knows that he made a big mistake, but he is not trying to do wrong. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, can His Royal Highness not be guilty of the past? ”
It took a lot of effort to say the words "not to blame in the past", it was really shameless, he was injured in order to save her, and she even persuaded him not to blame the murderer in the past! She didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore, even if he refused, she could bear it, but she didn't dare to look into his eyes, and the look slowly changed from expectation to indifference.
As the prince's car slowly left, the bright sunlight sprinkled every corner of the alley, but Cai Ling felt as if she was in boundless darkness.
In his mind, he remembered the way he left, without even replying, stepping on the horse and getting into the car, holding his hand on the crossbar of the car, stabilizing his body, but still not looking back.
Wei Wei got into the car and greeted her with a bow, but he didn't even say half a word.
In fact, she also wanted to ask: This time to go to the Deep Palace, how can I know if His Highness's injury has improved?
I also want to ask: When will His Royal Highness leave the palace again? Where are you going after leaving the palace?
Looking at the purple gold car cover that was gradually disappearing, Cai Ling endured the heartache, and those words never had a chance to be said again......
