Chapter 33: The Peach Forest

Let's talk about Manyun's side, the three of them are martial idiots and have a lot of common topics, and they are chatting happily with each other, when they suddenly see the full moon staggering over with a mouth. He Yue stopped him: "Who made you angry." ”

"Don't dare." Yue Yuan hurriedly said, and only when he walked to the front did he kneel down and answer in a low voice, "That is the celebrity next to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He was referring to Wei Wei, many days ago, the name change ceremony of Duchi Xuan, the people brought by the prince with him, today the peach forest gathered and came together, what is not a celebrity? He Yue glanced at Manyun for verification, and Manyun nodded slightly to corroborate it.

Several people were silent for a moment, and He Yue had just picked up the wine jug, but he heard a rustling sound in the distance, and the hand holding the jug stopped in mid-air. Yue Yuan said in a pleading tone, "Brother He, can you give me a cup of peach blossom brew today?" ”

"Shh Tao Tao's guards made a silent gesture. Manyun also listened with bated breath.

After a while, the three of them decided to go in one direction to check, and when they were leaving, Tao Tao's guards still couldn't help muttering: "Obviously, guards have been placed everywhere, who has the courage to do this?" ”

The clouds go to the west, the depths of the peach forest are light and crimson, the breeze passes, the petals are scattered, and the peach fragrance stains the sleeves. That person came in this intoxicating scenery of peach blossoms blooming, peach blossoms red, and peach blossoms dancing. She heard footsteps, the sword given by Tao Tao guards was held in her hand, and just about to draw the sword out of the sheath, the man flashed out from in front of the peach blossom tree, wearing an ink-colored suit, and the appearance of a dusty servant, "Miss Yu......" others called her "Manyun", and he actually remembered her surname "Yu".

"Brother Yuan." She clenched her sword tightly, and suddenly realized that the peach blossoms all over the mountains could not match the smiles of the people in front of her.

The two returned side by side, and Manyun asked, "How can Brother Yuan avoid many levels?" ”

"I'm just explaining my intentions to the guards." Yuan Jie left the flower branch in front of his forehead.

Manyun was a little surprised, "So, they let you in?" ”

Yuan Jieyi said in a low voice, "I gave a piece of gold, and the guard was willing to introduce it." ”

"What about the guards?" Manyun looked around left and right.

"Separated." Yuan Jie's faction didn't matter, which made Manyun laugh.

As soon as a few people gathered, He Yue and Yue Yuan were still immersed in the lovesickness of not seeing Brother Yuan for half a month, Cai Ling's eyes came, and they were already overjoyed, and personally welcomed Yuan Jie to the main table, "Didn't you say that it would take a month, why did you come back in half a month?" Without waiting for him to speak, Cai Ling said, "That's very good." When Yuan returned to Beijing, I was idle again. ”

Yuan Jie smiled in his eyes, and only let her drag it. Walking to the crown prince, Cai Ling introduced: "Your Highness, this is my right-hand man Yuan Jieyi, Jiang's business is thriving thanks to him, and he was also the one who made meritorious contributions in the silver case last time." He was not only good at business, but also knowledgeable. ”

Yuan Jie knelt down, and the prince looked at him for a moment before he bowed his head and said, "Since you are your confidant, sit down and drink together." ”

Cai Ling placed Yuan Jie's relics on his side and personally sandwiched the duck lotus cake for him, "Hungry, right?" Eat some food. ”

She was full of smiles, and she only thanked Yuan Jie for returning to Chang'an safely, where did she know how to avoid taboos, and she didn't know that someone was staring at him coldly.

Tao Tao cleared his throat, which was a reminder. Cai Ling raised her eyes to look at Tao Tao and only asked, "Eat chili peel?" Don't take a sip of water yet. ”

Tao Tao looked at the prince out of the corner of his eyes, and although the young king covered half of his face with his hand holding the teacup, his eyes were still staring at Cai Ling. Tao Tao's heart was cold, and he couldn't help shouting: "It's over!" ”

"What's over?" Cai Ling exclaimed, raised his eyes and looked, the prince's expression was grim, and he said slowly: "That's it." The king is going back to the palace. ”

"In less than half an hour, your highness can't stay a little longer?" Seeing that the table full of delicacies seemed to be untouched, she couldn't help but hold back.

When the prince looked at her again, his gaze had lost a lot of sharpness, "Why? ”

She never thought that Shen Muchi would ask like this, in the past, when he left her to stay, he had to leave, so she took the opportunity to send it off, but this time he asked her why she stayed. Keeping customers is etiquette, she just has been in the catering industry for a long time, and it has formed a habit. Could it be that Shen Muchi said, "That's it today, this king is gone", Cai Ling echoed with a sentence of "That's good", which is unreasonable!

"It's not easy to see each other." By Wei Wei's side, she said without confidence, and she could almost only hear herself.

He sat stunned, those four words seemed to be a spell, trapping him in a prison where he was painted. It turns out that she also knows that "it is not easy to meet", in the past, she ran after him, and he could still see her at various parties, but now although she is in Chang'an City, if she is not invited, how can she meet?

The sound of vomiting came suddenly, and Cai Ling didn't have time to react, and the placket of his clothes was stained with a lot ......of ink-colored dirt. In a hurry, she saw the prince, Tao Tao and Jie standing up awkwardly, she just wanted to say that she was fine, and then saw that Wei Wei beside her had collapsed weakly on the muddy ground full of fallen Ying, and beads of sweat the size of beans were sliding down the tips of her forehead.

How does Wei Wei vomit? Cai Ling looked at the prince who held Wei Wei in his arms, and there were already seven guesses in his heart. In the past, the third sister-in-law, Huai Yuan'er, would vomit when she ate and drank water, until she ate how many sour dates she ate, and she gradually stopped vomiting when she was a month old. This Wei Wei is really his beloved, Biluo was already a side concubine when she was pregnant, and now she has let this little palace maid Tongfang also conceive a dragon descendant.

"What are you doing?" Shen Muchi looked at Cai Ling, Cai Ling didn't move, and Man Yun had already stepped forward to help Wei Wei up.

Wei Wei was personally carried into the carriage by the prince, Cai Ling stood in place, watching coldly, there were so many guards, and he was sick with his body, so he was willing to carry him into the carriage in person, and he was really treated differently. Tao Tao reminded in his ear, "Your Highness called you." ”

"Ahh Cai Ling came back to his senses, and Fang approached the wheel.

"Get in the car." He commanded in the car. She didn't name her name, she could completely pretend that she didn't hear it, and was about to leave, when Tao Tao stepped over and reminded: "Your Highness told you to get in the car!" ”

She glanced at Tao Tao fiercely, and then she was reluctant to get into the carriage. In the carriage, Biluo leaned against the corner, Shen Muchi sat next to her, and when the body swayed, she suddenly climbed up Shen Muchi's neck like a boneless. Cai Ling sat by the window on one side, looking at all this coldly, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a cloud of turbidity in her chest, so she didn't vomit or feel unhappy, and quickly leaned her face towards the car window.

It's ridiculous! In the past, I ate Biluo's vinegar, and I really watched Biluo being favored and conceived, and gradually let go, and now I eat Wei Wei's vinegar, and it is better to never see each other in the long run. She is doing innocent business, how can she have a good relationship with the powerful! Without him, would her life have lost its luster?

"What are you doing?" He asked again, his tone already displeased.

"What do you care I'm doing!" She said coyly, suddenly feeling that her attitude was really indifferent, and said, "This is His Royal Highness's favorite concubine, and the little woman is only a few faces, and the little woman has no responsibility to take care of it." ”

He looked at her, his chin raised slightly, "It's dirty on my clothes, don't take it off quickly." ”

It turns out that the "what to do in a daze" he refers to is this. Cai Ling suddenly felt out of order, but said forcefully: "If you take off your coat, only your middle coat will be cold." I'm afraid of the cold. ”

"Take it off!" The tone is incomprehensible. Cai Ling didn't dare to disobey, and was extremely reluctant to take off her green robe and throw it in another corner.

He pursed his lips lightly, put the pale Wei Wei aside, took off the lilac coat on his body and threw it to Cai Ling. Under the hood, there is still the aroma of peach blossoms and red sandalwood, but there is also a trace of the sour smell of Wei Wei's vomit. Cai Ling looked disgusted, "Your Highness, this one is not necessarily clean!" ”

"Put it on!" He warned, impatience in his words.

Not daring not to wear it, she casually put his big coat on the outside of her middle coat, glanced out the window, and didn't look at the two people in the car.

Che Yu traveled to Bao and Linnei, Jiang Taichang personally diagnosed, and only after a long time did he say with a straight face: "Thunder wilford is poisoned, if you come half an hour late, I am afraid that your life will not be saved." ”

Cai Lingben looked indifferent, playing with the wide sleeves of Da Yu on the side, and suddenly heard the word poisoning, and then raised his head, "Aren't you pregnant?" ”

Everyone's eyes brushed over together, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly turned her head to the side, and saw Wei Wei, who was lying on the bed, was lying on the bed with cyanosis and blood from her nose, so she was pitiful. She hated herself for being jealous and almost delayed saving someone's life.

Jiang Taichang and others used a lot of effort to induce vomiting for Wei Wei and poured a lot of water for mung bean licorice decoction, but fortunately she finally saved her life, but she needed to recuperate in Baohe Forest for some time, and used the fine powder made of fresh black fern and Tian Sanqi and other eight medicinal herbs to nourish the juice.

Cai Ling was introduced into the house by the master and received the smallest light blue regular clothes. Over the past few days, Cai Ling has come to Baohe Lin several times, in order to send some ginseng, angelica, poria cocos, old hens, etc., and steal Jiang Taichang's medical skills. gradually got acquainted with Jiang Taichang's apprentices, and shouted in the room before they came out, "Senior brother! The waist of this dress you gave is a little fat. ”

The senior brother didn't speak, Cai Ling rushed out of the house without tying his clothes, the dazzling afternoon sun shone through the layers of leaves of the bamboo cultivation and was mottled, the man stood in the light and shadow with his hands in his hands, he was in his prime, his appearance was dignified, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to smile and said: "This king thinks it's very good." ”

She hurriedly flashed back into the house, and only slowly walked out of the house after she was in order, and there was only a row of bamboo in the empty courtyard except for the senior brother. couldn't help but sigh softly, and smiled at the senior brother, "I'll go back first, and return the clothes another day." The elder brother readily agreed, and sent her to the gate of the courtyard.

There was still the prince's car parked at the door, she didn't come forward to check, maybe the prince was still in the house to accompany the seriously ill Wei Wei, it was better for her, an irrelevant person, to leave early.

On a spring afternoon, the sun was shining warmly on her body, taking off her complicated skirt and putting on a man's robe, striding in the clean alley, the green grass and small wildflowers on the side of the road, everything was beautiful, she couldn't help humming a little tune.

"Little four." He stood at the corner of the alley, and suddenly leaned out and called her.

She was startled, and the tune was long, like a lute with broken strings, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

"I'll be waiting for you here." He walked over to her side and stared at her.

She was uncomfortable, and quickly explained: "The food in the peach forest is prepared by me, but I definitely didn't mix it with Tripterygium wilfordii, I ate the most of those foods, and it's okay." Your Highness is discerning! Besides, I didn't know that Miss Reed would come. ”

"Little four." He rubbed the tiredness on his brow, "Come with me." It was a command, and the tone was gentle and like a request.

"Looking at His Highness's appearance, you already know who the poisoner is?" Cai Ling followed the prince one step away and asked unrelentingly.

"Biluo." The prince's tone was not shocked when he said these two words, but Cai Ling shivered for no reason. I remember when I first entered the Qin Palace, someone sent lotus cake in the name of Dongxi Lou, she almost ate it, but fortunately she was scolded by Shen Muchi in front of everyone to wake up, it turned out that the person who poisoned was also Biluo, right?

"What do such people do when they stay around?" She hated to complain, half of it was for Wei Wei, and more worried about the people in front of her.

He was speechless for a moment, and she knew that she was rude, so she buried her head in silence. The prince suddenly explained, "Before the critical time, it's still useful to keep her." ”

She is pregnant with the eldest son of the crown prince in her belly, and her status is noble, of course it is useful! Cai Ling pursed her lips, not wanting to talk. He coughed lightly twice. Cai Ling hurriedly said, "Your Highness shouldn't be poisoned too, right?" ”

"I'm fine." He turned his head sideways, and a smile gradually appeared on his grim face.

How can it be okay? I have known each other for many years, and he is always high-spirited, even if he was targeted by the cronies of the abolished *** in the DPRK in those years, his words and deeds are like walking on thin ice, and he does not see today's fatigue. Will it be **** by someone? The more Cai Ling thought about it, the more anxious she became, and took his hand and said, "Let's go back and let Jiang Taichang take the pulse." ”

"The wind chill that I suffered from last month is now very good." He didn't know why he was telling her, he just loved being held by her.

Cai Ling suddenly realized that she had forgotten their respective identities in a hurry, and hurriedly put the prince's hand back in its place, "Spring is warm and cold, and it is most likely to suffer from wind chills, Your Highness should be more careful." After finishing speaking, I suddenly realized that this was a nonsense, the prince's illness had become a fact, and no matter how careful he was, it would be useless, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, not knowing what to do.

"Hmm." He nodded, his gaze like water, reflecting her pale blue figure.

They walked a little further, and the carriage slowly followed behind them. The prince said: "It seems that you often go in and out of Baohe Forest. ”

"Secretly, I often steal from Master Jiang in the name of giving gifts." Cai Ling said with a smile.

"What have you learned?" The prince asked with a smile.

"It's just scratching the surface." Cai Ling was interested, "The medical science and herbology are so profound that it will take a long time to learn the mysteries. ”

"How's it been? Want to give up business and become a doctor? He quipped.

"Is there a doctor in the hospital?" She said suddenly.

He thought for a moment, "No. ”

"If after completing my studies, the Tai Hospital will recruit a medical woman one day, I will apply. At that time, when I meet His Highness in this form today, I will prick a silver needle on His Highness's forehead to see if His Highness wants to take medicine on time or prefer to prick the needle! She pretended to be vicious.

But the prince couldn't help laughing out loud. Only then did she say quietly in her heart: In this way, she has the appearance of the past that is full of energy.

After a long time, in the crowded street, he suddenly stopped, she didn't have time to notice, gently bumped into his arm, and hurriedly held her bun to stand firm, "I'm sorry." ”

"Little four." He said softly, "You can go back." ”

After this street, there is Dongxi Building. She was still thinking just now, if he had accompanied her to the door of Dongxi Tower, should she have invited him to sit upstairs hospitablely, or should she bow politely? It turned out that he was only leaving at this fork in the road, and those thoughts were just superfluous!

"Hmm." She curtsied, but was bumped by a passer-by and leaned forward unsteadily.

This collision knocked her into the prince's arms, the sound of her heartbeat was really good, she indulged for a moment, and when she left, her frightened face was already full of anger, and shouted to the passer-by, "I don't know how to apologize for bumping into this girl!" ”

"I'm sorry." The passer-by, after walking a few steps, turned his eyes to look at her, and muttered, "It's a tomboy!" ”

Cai Ling was already angry, but Shen Muchi smiled heartily, turned around and got into the carriage, and gradually disappeared into the crowded street.
