Chapter 157: The Truth Revealed
Dongfang Shuo woke up immediately when he heard the sound, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Meng Xiaoran's complicated eyes, such a look made his heart skip a beat, he only thought that she had been sick for too long, so he asked with a smile: "How is it, do you feel better?" Are you thirsty or not, do you want to drink some water? ”
At this time, he was embarrassed, the cyan stubble on his chin was exposed, it could be seen that he hadn't slept for a few days, Meng Xiaoran looked at him with mixed feelings, and finally nodded, Dongfang Shuo immediately went to the table and poured a glass of water and fed her to drink.
"How long did I sleep?" Meng Xiaoran's memory was still stuck in that day, after returning from the Treasure Pavilion, after that, she was like a dream, she knew that she should have been sick at that time.
"You slept for three days and three nights, and it frightened me, but you must be well, and you must not be fine." Dongfang Shuo's affectionate appearance made Meng Xiaoran in a trance, and she couldn't help thinking: He should really love me, but once this love is compared to his country, it becomes insignificant again.
"I'm fine, you go back and rest, let Gu Yu and the others take care of me." She couldn't bear it when she saw the tiredness on Dongfang Shuo's face, and because she was sticky and wanted to bathe, she said so.
Dongfang Shuo saw that she was indeed fine, and finally relieved, he was indeed tired after not closing his eyes for a few days, and they still had a lot of things to do recently, he had been delayed for a few days, so he nodded, and repeatedly told her to have a good rest, and then called Gu Yu and them to come in, and he went back.
As soon as Gu Yu came in, Meng Xiaoran said to her, "You go and prepare some hot water, I want to bathe." ”
Gu Yu hesitated, the girl's wind chill is just right, will it be okay to bathe at this time?
Chunyue's brain was flexible, and she immediately said: "Let's put a few more stoves behind the screen, so that the girl won't be cold when she bathes, and she won't have to worry about catching a cold." ”
It can only be like this, the two of them went down to arrange, Meng Xiaoran finally washed off the stickiness of her body, the bedding on the bed was changed again, she had a feeling of unreality when she lay down refreshingly, the lake water in the dream was cold and biting, it felt really real, she still remembered, fortunately, it was just a dream, and she was lying in the warm quilt when she woke up from the dream.
I didn't expect to get here, my body became so weak, she was an orphan in the past, even if life was difficult, she never let herself get sick, because she didn't have the capital to get sick, but after coming here, she was sick many times.
It turned out that she was sick for three days and three nights this time, was it because the blow was too big at that time? Actually, it's not a blow at all, these things, she should be okay with them, isn't it?
In the past three days, the snow has melted, the weather is a little colder, and in a few days it will be Laba, and the New Year will come soon.
Meng Xiaoran recovered from a serious illness, and the whole person was still a little weak, but she had been working very hard to recuperate in the past few days, and she drank whatever tonic soup Gu Yu and the others brought, and the tonic soup did have an effect, and soon she felt that she was full of strength.
She was so eager to recover her body because she wanted to verify something, although she had believed most of what Qingfeng said, she still didn't want to give up like this, she didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, maybe this was her mentality at this time.
Dongfang Shuo has never been here since she recovered from her illness, he has accumulated too many things to deal with, these days, he goes out early and returns late every day, and it is not easy for Meng Xiaoran to check some things, so he can only act at night.
On this night, she took a walk in the small round under the pretext of eating after dinner, which was the closest to Dongfang Shuo's study, she had tried it in the past few days, standing on the high place of the pavilion, she could clearly see the situation in Dongfang Shuo's courtyard, so she waited here.
When night fell, sure enough, a few figures flickered, Meng Xiaoran looked fixedly, and there were four people, who went straight into Dongfang Shuo's study.
Meng Xiaoran knew that they were back, so she deliberately said to Gu Yu, who was following her: "I feel a little cold, you go and help me get the cloak, I'll wait for you here."
Since the incident last time, Gu Yu and the others no longer dared to disobey Meng Xiaoran's wishes, although they felt that it was inappropriate to leave her here alone, she still nodded and left.
Meng Xiaoran saw her leaving, and immediately took out a small porcelain bottle in her arms, poured out a pill and swallowed it, this is still the breath pill that Chen Jingfeng prepared for her when she went to Fenghua Xueyue Building, fortunately she has always kept it, and this time it finally came in handy.
She quickly flew to the courtyard wall, jumped down lightly, walked to the back of the study, and squatted against the wall.
There was a faint sound from the house, it was far away, she couldn't hear it so clearly, but it was too close to be easily noticed, so she had to stay here.
"Master, the Dog Emperor is not as good as day by day, and his body has completely collapsed, can we act?"
"Don't worry, wait a few more days, if he can't bear to move the Shen family in the past few days, it's not too late for us to act again, send letters to people from all over the country, press the troops first, and wait for our news."
"Yes!"
"Feng Yu, you continue to monitor Dongfang Rui's situation these days, and report to us as soon as there is a situation."
As soon as Meng Xiaoran heard the name "Feng Yu", his heart was half cold, Feng Yu, it was really the person they placed next to the Seventh Prince, so it was really as Qingfeng said, they deliberately used tricks to make Shen Qian think that they were taken away by the people of the Seventh Prince, so as to separate the relationship between Shen Qian and the Seventh Prince.
Now the Seventh Prince has begun to suppress the Shen family everywhere, perhaps because of Feng Yu's provocation, but in any case, all this was planned by Dongfang Shuo, and he was really used again.
Meng Xiaoran was heartbroken and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Ye Chunqiu's voice again, "Young Master, now that the general trend has been decided, I don't know when the Young Master's promise to me in the past will be fulfilled?" ”
Meng Xiaoran stopped again, wanting to hear what Dongfang Shuo had promised him, and heard Ye Chunqiu say: "The young master promised to take Fanghua as his wife, and in the future, the young master will succeed, and Fanghua will be the queen."
Even though Meng Xiaoran has always been very clear in her heart that Dongfang Shuo will not marry her, but after hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, her heart still fell to the bottom in an instant, Dongfang Shuo had promised Ye Chunqiu to marry Ye Fanghua, so what were his promises to himself?
Deception? Meng Xiaoran covered her mouth tightly, didn't let herself make a sound, and left quietly, when she returned to the pavilion, Gu Yuzheng was standing there with an anxious face, and she was relieved when she saw her coming, "Girl, where have you been?" Scared the slave to death. ”
Meng Xiaoran walked over in despair, didn't look at Gu Yu, and walked straight forward, Gu Yu immediately followed when he saw this, "Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Meng Xiaoran walked back like this, the whole person was like a walking corpse without a soul, Gu Yu followed aside, anxious, but no matter how she asked, Meng Xiaoran ignored it, and closed the door when she returned to the house.
"Girl, girl...... Hey, what can I do? Gu Yu was guarding the door a little anxiously, and then Chunyue also came over, "Gu Yu, what happened?" ”
Gu Yu shook his head, "I don't know, the girl said that she was cold, let me come back to get the cloak, I took the cloak and found that the girl was not in the pavilion, and after a while the girl came back, but as if she had lost her soul, she didn't talk to me, and when she came back, she locked herself in the house, and I don't know what happened." ”
Chunyue frowned, "Did something happen during the time you left?" ”
Gu Yu shook his head, "How do I know this?" Hey, I shouldn't have listened to the girl and just let me follow, and you would have gone later. ”
"It's useless to talk about this now, let's hurry up and think of a way, if we let Gongzi know that we don't take good care of us, the two of us will be to blame." Chunyue had a sad face.
Gu Yu was also very anxious, Meng Xiaoran sat in the room, listened to the words of the two of them, and couldn't help but sneer, who in this world can really care about themselves? These two girls are so anxious, not because they are afraid of being punished.
And what about Dongfang Shuo himself? Maybe there is really a bit of affection, but these feelings have long disappeared in the use and deception again and again, and their long-term suffering and reluctance are a joke!
Meng Xiaoran sat for a long time, and suddenly felt that he was a little childish in doing this, why scare these two maids, they didn't know anything.
Thinking of this, she turned on the lights in the house and said to Gu Yu and Chunyue outside the house, "You two go and bring some hot water, I want to wash."
Gu Yu and Chunyue were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately went down to prepare, Meng Xiaoran sat in front of the dresser after washing, and let Gu Yu untie the bun on her head, and smeared her face with good balsam, and then she asked the two of them to retreat, blew the lamp and fell asleep.
Gu Yu and Chunyue thought that she was fine, and finally relieved, but Meng Xiaoran in the room couldn't sleep for a long time, she opened her eyes and looked up, and kept thinking about what had happened since she met Dongfang Shuo.
The first time she saw him, when she had just come here, she was mistaken for a maid and dragged into a mansion, and was seen by the master of the mansion, who relieved herself, and invited herself, who was already hungry at that time, to have a meal.
She thought it was just a Pingshui meeting, and she didn't take him to heart until she met again in the Prime Minister's Mansion later.
At that time, he was still called Lu Ziqing, and he was in danger several times in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he helped him, and even did not hesitate to offend the four princes who were gaining power at that time for himself.
The more Meng Xiaoran thought about it, the more confused he became, obviously all this past incident showed that he was sincere to himself, but why did he continue to use himself? Doesn't he know that he hates being used the most?
In the bamboo forest, when she first learned his true identity, she knew that they were using themselves in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even in Fenghua Xueyue Building, and they wanted to reap the benefits, so they let Shen Qian and his actions go.
She could forgive him for being involuntary at the time, but what happened later? Why did she use Shen Qian's feelings for her to drive a wedge between him and the Seventh Prince, this was something she couldn't forgive.
Maybe this time, their relationship is really coming to an end, right?
