Chapter 32: Parting
"Crisp girl" Su Qinghui opened the door, and Yuan Dai stood outside the door with a box and fell snowy.
Su Qinghui beckoned: "Sister Yuandai, enter the house and say." ”
Yuan Dai put down the box and smiled: "The clothes are ready"
Su Qinghui's eyes lit up: "Is Your Highness coming back soon?" ”
"Yes, I'll be back tomorrow"
Since that day, in the name of consolation, the saint has been dissolved in the west, Su Qinghui was restless at first, and every time he woke up from his dream, he was in a cold sweat, but after a long time, he received a letter from him every five days to say that he was safe, and he was relieved.
She looked at the snowman outside the window, and it looked like he was preaching. The corners of his mouth curled and muttered, "I'm finally coming back"
The sky was bright, as soon as Yuan Dai stepped into the courtyard, she saw a figure squatting in the courtyard, I don't know what she was busy doing, and when she got closer, she saw that it was Su Qinghui, and she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why did the girl get up so early?"
She gathered the snowman in her hand, "The wind blew yesterday, and it was a little crooked." ”
"The girl has been working hard about the affairs of the palace these days, so she should have a good rest"
"How can you be tired," Su Qinghui's eyelashes drooped slightly, "I also want to help him guard his home like you." ”、
Yuan Dai was stunned for a moment and looked at the layout in the courtyard and said with a smile: "The girl is so attentive, His Royal Highness will definitely like it"
Towards noon, the snow stopped, leaving a clear blue sky.
Nian Rong stomped her feet on the side: "Sister, let's go in, you have been standing all morning, if Your Highness comes back, Sister Yuandai will send someone to inform you in advance."
"It's okay, it's cold, you go in first, I'll wait." Su Qinghui saw the corner of Yuan Dai's clothes flashing behind the door, she moved her stiff feet and asked, "Nian Rong, how is it, I am blushing." ”
Nian Rong looked at Su Qinghui, who was dressed in embroidered gold and red, and smiled: "No, my sister is very good-looking, as good as a bride." ”
"Sister Yuandai, are you back?"
Hearing the voice, Yuan Dai clenched the sword in her hand, calmed down a few times before slowly turning around, and approached step by step with all her strength.
"What about Your Highness?"
"Didn't come back"
Su Qinghui lowered his head and showed a dry smile: "It's a delay on the road, then it's called the kitchen to wait, the food is not delicious when it is cold."
Yuan Dai closed her eyes and said with difficulty: "Your Highness, I didn't come back, the mountain road outside the city"
Su Qinghui dropped the warm bag and said sharply: "I know, you don't need to repeat it again and again, I said it, wait"
"We sent someone to look for it all morning, the mountain is full of fallen rocks, and we can't find anything, I will increase the number of people to find it, there will definitely be news from His Highness, girl"
"Sister" exclaimed twice, Su Qinghui waved away the supporting hand: "I'll come by myself" She said and slowly stood up: "Give me the horse"
"Girl"
"Give me a horse" almost roared, and after a neigh, a drop of tears fell into the snow: "Please, give me a horse"
A piece of red clothes faded away in the wind, blending into a patch of snow.
Chang An grabbed Su Qinghui, who was looking for him like crazy, and begged: "You are injured, at least let Yuan Dai show you" Su Qinghui spread his hands numbly, and the blood on his fingertips dripped on the gravel, scratching a blood mark.
"No, he's still waiting for me, it's dirty and cold here, he must not like it"
Chang An sighed: "Your Highness won't want to see you like this."
Su Qinghui pulled out a smile that was more ugly than bitterness: "I know, when I see him, I'll be" When she saw the object in Chang An's hand, she suddenly disappeared, and her whole body began to tremble: "What is this?"
"Feng Hairpin" paused for a moment as he said and choked his voice: "This one on your body is actually a wedding dress, a pattern drawn by His Royal Highness himself, and he originally wanted to put this Feng Hairpin on it for you with his own hands."
Su Qinghui's face turned pale and he staggered: "He never told me"
Chang An smiled bitterly: "Your Highness wants to arrange everything, so that you have no worries, so that you can have a home with peace of mind." ”
"Liar, liar," Su Qinghui muttered, and his body fell as if he had lost all his strength.
With tears in her eyes, she saw a river running through the snow.
"I want to be so presumptuous, anyway, you have a bad reputation in my hands"
"What were you going to say"
"Anyway, it's all a happy wine, it's better to save a glass"
"That's it"
The scene changed, and under the lights, Su Qinghui held the sugar man in his hand and smiled at the people around him: "Don't go"
With a bang, the fireworks scattered, and a few sparks fell behind Jing Rong, and the few scatters dissipated, and she finally heard the whisper clearly.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't go, don't go" Su Qinghui reached out and touched it, it was cold.
"Don't go" cried, she opened her eyes, and the miserable white moonlight hit the phoenix hairpin next to the pillow, lifeless. She grabbed it and raised her hand, and the hairpin bell shook softly like a cry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" In the corner, tears fell on the phoenix hairpin in her heart, reflecting her face full of tears.
Yuan Dai looked at the food that had been removed as it was, frowning. It's been three days, and there is still no water, and if it continues like this, how can it hold on. She thought that Su Qinghui had not slept all day and all night a few days ago, and sent people around to find Jing Rong's figure, which was already the worst state, but now she realized that at least she was still unwilling at that time and was willing to struggle to live.
After a few seconds, a hint of determination flashed in Yuan Dai's eyes.
She pulled out the broken hair on Su Qinghui's eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Don't you want to know why His Highness is going west, and why is on the way" Before she finished speaking, the person on the bed finally reacted, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"What is the use of me telling you what you are like now?"
"I'll eat"
Su Qinghui put down his chopsticks and said hoarsely: "Say it"
"The national teacher is sick and unable to assist the government, but His Royal Highness is young and promising, and the future is promising, do you understand what I mean?"
She pinched the knuckles of her skirt and turned white, she understood, how could she not understand, Jing Rong was like a sharp sword with a blade, hanging on the dragon bed day and night, how could that person sleep peacefully.
"What should I do"
Yuan Dai said: "Teach Chen Si, I have always been an assistant to that person to set up a political bureau."
"Are there any of you in there?" After a few seconds of silence, Yuan Dai nodded slowly.
"Go and prepare, and leave in two days"
Yuan Dai looked at the lonely back and walked away, lowered her eyes and sighed, Your Highness, is it right or wrong for me to do this.
When Jingsheng stepped into the courtyard, he saw Su Qinghui stunned and said, "You, here" The voice was like dry wood dragging on the ground.
"Did you find it?"
Jing Sheng took out a blood-stained sachet: "Is it his?" ”
Su Qinghui took it with all his strength, his pale lips opened and closed several times, but he couldn't make a sound at all. She longed to find a little bit of him, but she was afraid to find only this piece of nothingness.
The tea in the cup is bubbling with a few wisps of cyan, and the wind blows and disappears, and it stops and gathers.
Jing Sheng said: "Brother is thinking of you, and I hope you can take good care of yourself." ”
"I know"
"I'm not going to let go, I'll keep looking for it no matter how long it takes"
"I know" Su Qinghui said and raised his head, his gaze fixed on him in the distance: "It's not enough"
Jing Sheng frowned and said, "What?"
"He must have been tired after walking so far"
Su Qinghui said again: "I missed the lonely years of his life, I never asked him to do anything, nor did I accompany him through those swords and blood, but now, I want to protect everything he fought so hard for him."
As I said, even if it is one person, it is also a promise of two parties.
There was a tea and a person in the room, and Jing Sheng leaned back on the chair to hide the emotions in his eyes. Su Qinghui's words lingered in his mind like an echo.
If you wish, I will do my best to pave the way for you. If you don't want to, then I will never be here today, and I will not see each other and I will not know each other.
Jingsheng smiled bitterly: Brother, she has become your appearance after all, if you see it, you will not be happy.
Under the porch of the mansion, Yuan Dai stretched out her hand to hold the thin shoulder: "Su'er, the journey is smooth, be careful in everything"
"Keeping a Good Home for Him"
"Good"
After running all the way, Su Qinghui reined in his horse, stopped on the slope, and looked at the white and lifeless grassland, feeling irritable, like a mourner.
As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I heard a crisp voice in the distance hovering in the air: "Crisp"
Yuan turned over and dismounted again, and hugged Su Qinghui: "I heard that you are coming, I have already gone out to meet you, for fear that you will not be able to find the direction when the snow falls, so I can only feel at ease when I see you."
After finishing speaking, the person in front of him just hooked his lips lightly, and he couldn't smile at the bottom of his eyes. Leaned over and said, "Thank you, county lord" Yuan glanced at her somewhat red face and chapped lips in the snow again, and sighed in his heart, "Since you are here, go back to the city first." ”
In the house, Su Qinghui leaned over and said, "County Lord, Su'er has something to ask for"
"You say"
"I would like to ask the county lord to arrange for me to meet with Hai Rigu." Yuan rubbed the cup in his hand again and said softly, "Have you thought about it?" There is no turning back from the bow, and once you have taken this path, many things are beyond your control. ”
"But in this world, it is delusional to be alone, and it is the reality to be involuntarily"
Yuan said again: "I, how much time do I have?"
"At most tomorrow morning"
In the early morning, the cold wind swept a layer of rustic air, blowing through the old window frames in the house, Hai Rigu sat cross-legged at the low table, lifted the pot and poured two bowls of wine, pushed it casually, and shook out the bowl and seeped into the crack of the table at a few o'clock.
"Do you drink alcohol?"
"I can learn"
"Some things may not be as good as they should be, even if they put in the effort"
"Is it" Su Qinghui took the knife next to the table, the light and shadow flashed, and the ink painting in the bowl was like a few blood flowers. The short knife slammed on the ground with a sound, and she drank it without changing her face, hiding a few points of blood on her lips: "I can learn"
Hai Rigu took a sip of the wine and frowned: "This is different"
"If it happens, I will fulfill his promise to you, and if it fails, I will bear it with all my might, and I will never involve anyone else."
Hai Rigu hesitated for a moment and took out a piece of paper: "Teach Chen Si to only obey the orders of the saint, layer by layer is strictly distinct, and the communication between the high and low levels depends on the operator, I joined the division late, and I only know a few people at the same level, and the rest are just acting according to orders." ”
Su Qinghui swept a few names on the paper: "Have you made any recent moves?" He shook his head: "The big matter is only handed over to a few adults in Beijing, and we are only responsible for contacting the grassland merchants, but recently, the operator went to the capital." ”
Su Qinghui stood up and saluted, "Thank you"
"No, it's not a good place to stay for a long time, if you have nothing to do, leave early"
"Thank you, we'll see you later."
Turning the corner, the wine was surging, and Su Qinghui staggered a few steps against the wall.
Chang An followed him with the bloodstains, and saw Su Qinghui sitting in the corner with his head down, like a discarded rag doll. He tore off the cloth to wrap the wound and said softly: "Let's go home"
"I saw him, and he blamed me for drinking outside" Su Qinghui said and wiped his face: "I begged God every day to let me see him in my dreams, but I never got my wish, but now I can hear him preach just by taking a few sips of wine, you say, is this destined for me to see him only if I make mistakes?"
"You're drunk"
Su Qinghui smiled suddenly, tears crossed his face: "Yes, I'm drunk"
