Chapter 140: Peach Blossoms
Qin Changhuan raised his eyes, his gaze wandered, and in an instant, all his true feelings disappeared, and she was the same as when she first saw her, her narrow phoenix eyes seemed to be smiling, but if she looked closely, she was cold and rejecting thousands of miles away.
"His Highness's suspicion is still so serious."
The corners of her lips seemed to move, but she didn't seem to move, but the action of drinking was still smooth.
With just one sentence, she hid all her true joy, tenderness.
Just a name makes her so cold.
No one wants others to explore their past at will, Tang Ruoxu knows this very well, but for some reason, he who knows how to measure himself, but he can't help but touch her bottom line again and again, and even wants to know everything about her.
Especially everything about a thousand cities.
This feeling made him know that some subtle change was brewing between the two, but he believed that he could control it.
He chuckled, "I helped you, shouldn't you reciprocate?" ”
This may not have been his intention, but he said it like that, and the words he said were like water spilled out.
"Sure enough." Qin Changhuan laughed and sat upright, "I knew that His Highness didn't just want to invite me to Dongshen to come to Dongyan, in exchange for conditions?" Has Your Highness figured it out? ”
The room was instantly quiet, the wind rustled the willow leaves against the window lattice, and the atmosphere was subtle.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but in the end, Tang Ruoxu was defeated, and said with a wry smile, "That's it, I really can't help you, I have to travel tomorrow, don't be unhappy." ”
He just said lightly, but with instructions and concern.
The more he treated himself, the more Qin Changhuan felt alienated.
Xu is seeing a lot of people, and she can see at a glance that Tang Ruoxu is different from others.
Even if he disguised himself as a businessman that day, there was a kind of stubbornness in his eyes, as if he never knew what it was to lose, let alone win.
He has his own goal, as long as he sees it, he will always move towards that goal, and nothing will stop him.
This kind of person with a clear goal cannot have any full true feelings, and some are just partial compromises he makes for his own purposes.
However, Qin Changhuan thought, at least, he had helped himself a lot, and he really shouldn't say it too ruthlessly.
"I'll punish myself with three glasses." She poured cup after cup and drank them all, "For those words I said in the Fuhua Palace today, I apologize to you very sincerely now!" ”
She bowed her head slightly, and her attitude was satisfying.
Tang Ruoxu looked at her state, she was already drunk for seven or eight minutes, and before she raised her head, she got up and walked to the door and ordered Lin Zhi to let people clean up a warm pavilion for Qin Changhuan to rest.
Lin Zhi naturally felt that something was wrong.
"Your Highness, Miss Qin is resting in the East Palace, I'm afraid that it will be criticized, the Fengyi Hall is ......"
"Go ahead." Tang Ruoxu said firmly, "I have a sense of proportion. ”
Lin Zhi hesitated and left.
Back in front of the table, Qin Changhuan still maintained that position, and Tang Ruoxu even wondered if she had fallen asleep.
"Changhuan?"
As soon as he slapped the table, Qin Changhuan straightened his waist and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you forgiven me?"
Tang Ruoxu was helpless and helped her pick up some dishes, "Eat a little more, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable, otherwise you will eat some peach blossom crisp, if someone sends it in the afternoon, I see that you love to eat." ”
Qin Changhuan's eyes stared at the peach blossom cake, and his eyes gradually became erratic.
She stretched out her hand to support her chin, and her thoughts seemed to go back to the season of peach blossoms three years ago.
Tang Ruoxu looked at her and was not quite right, "But sleepy?" I've already asked someone to arrange a warm pavilion, do you want to go over and rest? He said tentatively.
Qin Changhuan smiled and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake, "Peach blossom...... How nice would it be if I hadn't met you that day? But it's okay, it's all over. ”
There was a little light in her eyes, her eyelids opened and closed, and her gaze was confused and confused.
"You seem to ...... Hate Peach Blossoms? Tang Ruoxu said the question in his heart.
In the Fuhua Palace during the day, when Tang Ruoling mentioned that he was going to enjoy the peach blossoms, Qin Changhuan was a little wrong, but at that time, he didn't care.
Although Qin Changhuan was half drunk, she was very sober about Yan Heng's affairs, everything was just whether she wanted to say it or not.
"That year, at the foot of Yin Yang Mountain, it was the season of peach blossoms, I met Yan Heng, and at a glance, I decided that he was my beloved...... Can...... Things don't always go as people want, and I never knew that he didn't want to take advantage of me for a moment. ”
When I talk about the past, I am always full of sadness.
She picked up the wine and continued to drink, but never touched the peach cake again anyway.
Tang Ruoxu didn't stop her, just let her drink happily.
Just looking at her painful look, he was not happy in his heart, so he picked up the jar and drank a few sips.
The events of that year were well known to everyone in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital of Northern Yan, and it was easy to inquire, but there were different opinions, and almost all opinions were that Qin Changhuan was a demon girl who caused chaos in the dynasty, and he was also a traitor to Northern Yan.
But after listening to Qin Changhuan's words just now, it was very different.
It seems that it was not she who betrayed Beiyan, but the entire Beiyan who betrayed her.
He saw with his own eyes that she peeled Helan Qingyi's skin and cramped, without a trace of hesitation and pity, and she was resolute in what she said that day, what kind of hatred should be able to make her so sparing.
She returned to Beiyan as the ninth lady of Chongyue Mansion and set off a bloody storm in the entire imperial capital, was it just to avenge the revenge of the year? I don't know what Yan Heng did to her.
He looked at her quietly, but there was no ripple in his eyes, and he was really distressed.
When the watch rang outside, Tang Ruoxu saw Qin Changhuan lying unconscious on the table, so he got up and picked her up and sent her to the warm pavilion.
Lin Zhi escorted them all the way, and watched the queen's eyes stare at them all the way into the warm pavilion, and then left through the west corner gate of the side hall.
"Your Highness, someone has gone to report the news."
As if Tang Ruoxu hadn't heard it, he put Qin Changhuan into the quilt, and helped her take off her shoes and put them away, "Find someone to take care of her and help her take off her clothes, otherwise she will sleep really uncomfortable." ”
"Your Highness...... It seems that I have never cared so much about others. Lin Zhi's head was raised.
This is true and a reminder.
He is so close to a person, the queen's side must have something to do, and now is an extraordinary time.
"How's that guy you tracked down last time?" Tang Ruoxu not only did not answer his question, but asked about other things as if reproached.
Lin Zhi naturally answered honestly.
With only one token and the cross behind the ears of those people, it was really difficult to trace, and although they had appeared many times, they were very organized.
As long as you dare to come desperately, you almost don't want to go back alive, the dead are dead, and there is no clue on your body, if you are only injured, you will immediately swallow deadly poison, and you will definitely not be able to leave any clues.
Tang Ruoxu squinted at him, "I haven't figured out my own affairs yet, but I'm here to remind me, Lin Zhi, you're really getting more and more good at being an errand now." ”
Fear flashed in Lin Zhi's eyes, and he immediately knelt down on one knee towards him.
"Subordinate, subordinate is just worried that there will be any action on the queen's side, and it will not be good to threaten the future of His Highness, those assassins, his subordinates will definitely try their best to investigate, and never let His Highness down."
Tang Ruoxu gently looked at Qin Changhuan, who had fallen asleep on the bed, and helped her tuck the quilt before leaving the Dongnuan Pavilion.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and tomorrow will be a good day with clear air.
In the Fengyi Palace, the queen has not slept because of a head wind.
Behind her, Zhu Yi was helping her gently rub her sideburns.
In front of her, the little palace maid of the East Palace was kneeling on the ground, her body trembling and replying.
"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid did see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carrying Miss Qin into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and indeed I didn't see when Miss Qin entered the prince's bedroom, the prince didn't have dinner today, the slave maid has been guarding outside the dormitory, only the Lin guards came out to let the slave maid go to heat up a meal, and then I heard the voice of Miss Qin in the dormitory."
The queen frowned, and after listening to her words, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "Raise your head." ”
The little palace maid was stunned, holding her hands stiffly, and slowly raised her head, but she didn't dare to look at the queen.
After a long time, the queen stopped Zhu Yi, "Reward." ”
After speaking, she got up and walked towards the bed, and let out a long sigh, thinking that the emperor had not entered Fengyi Palace for more than a month, and tomorrow, she would always have someone to send some pastries to remind the emperor that the harem was always her, the queen.
Zhu Yi gave the little palace maid a piece of broken silver, and sent someone away.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is never close to women, this Qin Changhuan just entered the palace that day, and the Fuhua Palace was still arranged by the emperor, and now, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and her ......"
Before she finished speaking, the queen's sharp gaze shot towards Zhu Yi, reminding her that what she said was a little excessive.
Zhu Yi immediately lowered her head in fear, "The slave is too talkative, and the mother spares her life." ”
The queen breathed through her nose, laughed twice, reached out to hold hers, and pulled her to her side, "Don't be so afraid of me, thanks to your hands, my head doesn't hurt so much, serve me to lie down, and you go to rest." ”
Zhu Yi blessed her body, "Yes, Niangniang, I helped you light the soothing incense, and you can sleep more peacefully later." ”
The queen replied lightly, "Tomorrow, is Ruoling going out of the palace with the prince?" And that Qin Changhuan? She never thought that after so many years, her daughter would actually come to Dongyan.
Zhu Yi nodded, "Yes, Niangniang, do you want to send more people to protect the princess?" ”
The queen nodded, "That's natural, but tomorrow you arrange someone to follow, and by the way, see if Situ Yufeng is worthy of my Ling'er." ”
The hour had passed, and it was getting darker and darker outside, like a windowless house.
Zhu Yi saw the queen fall asleep, so he turned off the lights and left the dormitory.
"You two go in and keep watch, I'm going to run some errands and I'll be back in a while." She instructed the two people at the door, and then walked towards the back door of Fengyi Palace.
