Chapter 42: The Blending of Blood
Winter nights always come quickly, Mo Mei cleverly made a firefly lamp, the firefly lamp is not a firefly but a small piece of fluorite that absorbs the sun's light in the daytime, put it in a special lampshade and shake it a little, the pebble begins to slowly emit light, the yellow warm light will reflect the little people and small animals in the lampshade on the wall, which is very beautiful.
Chu Xiang also saw A-Niang make a similar small lamp when he was a child, but he didn't know where he threw it, and now he misses it very much. Mo Mei handed the small lamp to Chu Xiang and picked up another small lamp and turned it in the same way, the time on the wall changed, the villain was running after the little rabbit, or the little rabbit was chasing the person, and the birds flying in the sky were looking down; Suddenly, a huge tiger came out from behind and bit the rabbit.
Tuanzi tilted his little head and looked at the shadow on the wall very curious, and gently touched it with his little paw and found that it would move! The hind legs were forced, and the mouth made a whining sound, but after waiting for a while, he realized that nothing had happened, and he began to provoke again. The little rabbit ran to the top again, and the ball jumped up to catch it, but he fell down on the blanket and looked around vigilantly.
Chu Xiang had a lot of fun, and then felt unhappy, so Mo Mei brought two more, one on the other side of the two hands, playing happily with Mo Mei on the wall, the ball was busy before and after, and finally turned to the ground, leaning on his little belly and whining, Chu Xiang squatted down and scratched its little belly with his fingers, and the ball instantly shrank into a ball for fear of itching. When Liang Qi came back from the outer hall, he heard the laughter like a silver bell, and he laughed too, and quietly pushed open the door to see a big one and a small one frolicking, so unhappy.
Lowered her footsteps and waved her hand to signal Mo Mei to put down the lamp in her hand and withdraw quietly, Mo Mei covered her mouth and nodded secretly and handed him the small lamp in her hand before slowly walking out. Liang Qi walked behind her step by step with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stretched out his hands to hold her tightly from behind, and at the same time extinguished the small lights in his hands in some way.
All this happened so fast that Chu Xiang was held up in the air without even reacting, and when he was flustered, his fingers grabbed a strand of hair tightly and did not let go, Liang Qi originally wanted to tease her, but she reacted so much, her scalp was scratched and hurt, so she could only whisper "Xiang'er, don't catch it... Hiss.. It's me."
As soon as Chu Xiang heard Liang Qi's voice, he let go of his hand and said angrily, "Why does the emperor also play this kind of trick!" Like a disciple, he scared the concubine! Liang Qi smiled and put her down, waved her sleeves, and the candle in the hall was lit at once, and the ball was also shocked, and shrunk into the nest and did not dare to move.
"Xiang'er was scared? Strange and weird, I can't be scared when I touch my hair" After finishing speaking, he gently stroked the small broken hair on her forehead with his hand, and muttered something in his mouth, Chu Xiang knew that this was a means to coax the little doll, and he didn't break it, so he just touched it, Liang Qi touched it for a long time, and suddenly held her little face with both hands, and took a closer look, this distance could already clearly see that his bright eyes were all himself.
"I want to ask for a piece of treasure jade for Xiang'er to carry with me"
Chu Xiang looked at him blankly, Liang Qi also looked at her like that, and after a long time, he heard him say again, "I have accidentally heard that there is a Taoist priest who claims to be unified, and his Taoist attainments are already perfect. I have checked the ancient books and classics of the superior treasure jade after a certain amount of refining will have the effect of sticking to the original god, a few days ago I have sent someone to find no one scholar, if you find it, you will make a treasure jade for Xiang'er. That way, I'm not afraid that there will be some imps or the like to harass my treasure."
Liang Qi said something serious, not like a lie or a joke at all. Chu Xiang stretched out his hand and put it on top of his hand quilt, rubbed it like a cat, and said softly, "Your Majesty, did you suddenly think of this? The First Emperor searched all over the country and refined all kinds of pills, but he couldn't escape death, and the concubines still knew about the body of the concubine, so why bother the emperor about it..."
"Shhhh I had a dream last night, and in the dream, Xiang'er suddenly left me, leaving me and the child in the empty palace... I'm scared. Although the dream is the opposite, I don't want to have a trace of luck, no one has tried the method of raising jade, but I have confidence! There will be no taxi! ”
Chu Xiang looked at Liang Qi with confidence and couldn't bear to continue, this method had actually been tried when she was young, but it was a little different from what he said, and she didn't know when the jade pendant at that time was gone, she only knew that her memory was not complete... Something was missing in the middle, my brother once said that she was sick and woke up with a high fever and forgot something...
Liang Qi saw that she was distracted, so he simply tore off a sleeve of the dragon robe and tied it to his eyes, coughed and said, "When I was young, I was the best in the world to catch cats! Xiang'er, dare to play with me?! There is a penalty for losing! ”
Chu Xiang raised his eyebrows, and his body slowly left the bed, "This is what the emperor said, if the concubine wins the emperor, everything must be listened to by the concubine!"
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase! Let Xiang'er see what the child king is today! Liang Qi's hand was still touching it on the couch, only to find out that she was long gone, there was a trace of redness on her handsome face, and she coughed and reached forward to touch it, "Xiang'er, I have already seen you!" Don't run! ”
Chu Xiang stood behind the round table and covered his mouth and secretly watched Liang Qi look crooked, but he seemed to have very sensitive ears, and suddenly turned back to his head like her.
Chu Xiang saw that he was about to be caught, so he simply took off his embroidered shoes and stepped on the basket socks and walked to the nest of the dumplings next to the bed. Tuanzi was very smart, jumped off the table and ran several steps to climb on top of the curtain and hung it, there was a small crystal hanging under the curtain, Liang Qi smiled and touched it, "I know where Xiang'er is"
finally touched the bed with his memory, who knows if there is still no one, which makes Liang Qi a little impatient, who came up with this game! Then I slapped myself in annoyance, and I didn't choose it myself! Gritted his teeth and continued to touch it, while his mouth kept talking, it was okay at first, but in the later stage, it was the disciple who possessed Chu Xiang who listened to it with a red face and red ears, what kind of book does the emperor read on weekdays! It's so shy!
Liang Qi seemed to have figured out the cooperation between her and Tuanzi, as long as he made a sound, he would walk in the opposite direction, and over time he would become familiar, Chu Xiang was hugged by her before he could react, and at the same time, one hand covered her eyes, and there was a burning gasp from the side of her neck, "When did Xiang'er become so smart? Well? Fooling me with that ball"
Tuanzi hung aggrievedly on his dragon robe, opened his small mouth and showed his small teeth, biting his leg fiercely, it was Tuanzi! It's not a ball! Liang Qi didn't seem to feel the opportunity to lean down and kiss Fang Ze, and through the carved crystal window, he could vaguely see the entangled figures inside.
Yan Hong stood on a big tree outside the Mingluan Palace, put down his fists clenched and weakly, leaned on the trunk of the tree, looked sideways at the brightly lit inner hall, although it was very vague, but he could see which one was her at a glance, his chest was restless, stretched out his hand and pressed it tightly, and suddenly touched a hard thing, took it out, and saw by the cool moonlight that this was the snow handed over to him 'forget the dust'.
Forget the dust, forget the love of the world. Seeking a dull and hopeless life.
The finger pressed the vial and seemed to make the sound of the bottle cracking, and then released the clenched finger. The cold wind blew his robe and made a sound, and his fierce eyes stared at the tall figure by the window, if... Finally, he sighed, leaned weakly on the trunk of the tree, blew the cold wind to calm the fire in his heart, and the vial was put into his arms again, I don't know if there will be a day to come out again.
Leaning on the trunk of the tree like this until the sun showed a corner, Rong Cheng stood outside the hall and called the people inside to get up and face up, Liang Qi was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the jade chariot and walked towards the Panlong Palace, the new maid gently pushed open the door with a copper basin and left, it should be to get some hot water. Yan Hong got up and exhaled, and after a few jumps, he arrived at the door, and slipped in while there was no one around.
With experience, he also knew that he had to take off his shoes, the earth dragon in the hall burned very warm, and baked the cold air on his body, and then slowly pushed open the door of the inner hall, a faint fragrance came to his nose, the hall was very quiet, Yan Hong looked at the small figure in the curtain, the Adam's apple moved up and down, and gently stepped forward and was just about to lift the curtain, when he heard a very vigilant whining sound, he lowered his head and saw a snow-white mink was blowing up his hair and looking at him with his teeth bared.
Yan Hong smiled lightly, squatted down and grabbed the back of its neck and carried it in front of him, Tuanzi's four paws were constantly struggling, tilting his head to bite his hand, but before he struggled a few times, his light blue eyes flashed and he fell asleep. Put it back in the nest and open the curtain again, the fragrance inside is overflowing and even stronger, Yan Hong didn't dare to hang the curtain, so he could only put down himself again, or sit on the pedal and look at her sleeping face stupidly.
Chu Xiang slept very deeply, and a small hand was stretched out like a baby. Yan Hong carefully held the small hand, the rough big hand did not dare to use force, for fear of pinching it, slowly leaned down and approached the white tender little hand, tangled for a moment, and finally dropped a kiss, raised his eyes and looked at her, the other hand tucked the futon up, and inadvertently saw a faint red mark next to the jade neck, the originally extinguished fire was surging instantly, and the heart was beating wildly.
Holding her hand couldn't help but exert force, Chu Xiang seemed to feel that something was wrong, his eyelashes trembled lightly, and he was about to wake up, Yan Hong's eyes were quick, and Chu Xiang fell into a deep sleep again. Yan Hong leaned on the edge of the bed and tried to calm himself, the green tendons on his forehead were jumping, and his body began to sweat again... Thinking that the maid was about to come back, she didn't dare to delay, got up and sat on the edge of the couch, carefully helped her up, leaned in her arms, took out a small dagger from her waist, swiped it lightly on her wrist, sucked the blood with her mouth, and then pinched her chin, and crossed over little by little...
The surrounding aroma is even stronger, and there is a unique smell of looming blood, after the last mouthful, Yan Hong is very skillful with a strip of cloth to tie his wrists, obsessively with his thumb gently caressing the lip flap that is not known to be red by blood or sucked by him, the footsteps of the maid can already be heard in the distance, and she is very reluctant to put her back on the bed, cover the bedding, and look at it for a while, until the footsteps are outside the hall and are about to push the door in, then get up and disappear in place.
When Momei came back with a copper basin, she found that Niangniang and Tuanzi had not woken up! I didn't dare to disturb and sat in the outer hall to recall how to tie the rope, and at the edge of the bed in the inner hall, a drop of bright red blood slowly dripped on the snow-white blanket...
