Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sleepless Night
Today's events annoyed Duan Tangtang, and after running to the General's Mansion to seek Wu Yu's comfort, he felt that he didn't have such a headache.
Back in the palace, Duan Yuelian went to Duan Yuelian's palace non-stop, but when she arrived, she didn't see Duan Yuelian's figure, her personal maid was waiting in the palace, and it seemed that she hadn't come back yet.
Duan Tangtang suddenly paused before leaving, and asked, "The sixth sister is not in the palace, why are you here, not accompanying the sixth sister?" ”
"Back to the seventh princess, the sixth princess said that she was going to do something, and specially instructed the slave and maid not to accompany her."
Duan Tangtang asked again: "Do you say where to go and what to do?" ”
The sixth princess didn't elaborate.
didn't let the palace maid accompany him, and went out of the palace alone to meet a man, I don't know what I thought, Duan Tangtang was suddenly startled, could the sixth sister be a sweetheart and go out for a tryst.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible, otherwise how to explain Duan Yuelian's strange behavior.
Duan Tangtang had a thought in his heart: the sixth sister's watery cabbage was about to be arched by a strange pig.
With this thought, Duan Tangtang couldn't eat or sleep tonight, and even Duan Ruiyun's affairs were left behind by her, and the fact that Duan Yuelian might have a sweetheart was ranked first.
At this time, it was late at night, Duan Tangtang opened his eyes and looked at the curtain on the top of the bed, although sleepiness came, he couldn't sleep.
Turning over again, staring at the sleeping white turnip like a dead pig beside her, Duan Tangtang couldn't help but feel envious, she really wanted to sleep.
After lying down for a while, Duan Ditang simply got out of bed and dressed, went out with a lantern, and went to Duan Yuelian's palace again, this series of movements did not wake Bai Wuyi, she even began to snore.
The night was cold, Duan Tangtang tightened the cloak on his body, and there were faint lights on both sides of the road along the way, so the lantern in his hand did not play a role.
After a short time, Duan Tangtang arrived, and the palace maid who was keeping vigil was about to salute when she saw her, but she stopped her and asked in a low voice, "Is the sixth sister back?" ”
"Back to the seventh princess, the sixth princess has been back for almost half an hour, and when she comes back, she washes up, and she hasn't been asleep for long now."
Duan Tangtang frowned and said, "Half an hour? ”
I came back so late, what are you going out for, I won't be taken advantage of by that pig.
"Is there anything unusual about the sixth sister when she comes back?"
The palace maid thought about it for a while, "After the sixth princess came back, she looked in a good mood, and her face was better than usual, and she was much ruddy, as for the rest, the slave maid didn't know." ”
Hearing this, Duan Tangtang became more and more sure, can he not be happy when he goes out with his sweetheart.
I couldn't sleep because I didn't worry about Duan Yuelian, but after coming to her palace and asking the palace maid, my mood became even heavier and more painful, and Duan Tangtang returned to the Qiyun Palace, and he didn't close his eyes all night.
Duan Tangtang sat until the sky was dark, the sky was already full of fish white belly, the morning light sprinkled on everything through the morning mist, and the crystal clear dew drops shimmered on the green leaves.
Although it is only the middle of the day, but now is the time to go to the early court, the palace maids and eunuchs are busy performing their duties in the palace, Duan Tangtang received their salutes all the way, came to the imperial garden, and saw a person sitting on the stone table from a distance.
When I got closer, I saw that this man was a little familiar.
"Second brother?"
Duan Tangtang patted him on the shoulder behind him, Duan Ruiyun slowly turned his head, and said weakly: "Morning, Seventh Sister." ”
After saying that, he turned back, propped his head, and continued to empty his eyes.
Duan Tangtang sat down in front of him, and also learned from him to hold his head, looking at him with empty eyes.
The two looked at each other so strangely, and after a long time, Duan Tangtang took the lead in breaking the strange atmosphere, "Second brother, haven't you slept all night?" ”
Duan Ruiyun's eyeballs were bloodshot, his eyes were dark green under his sockets, and the whole person looked haggard.
"Hmm." Duan Ruiyun responded, paused, and continued, "Are you too?" ”
Duan Tangtang, who also didn't sleep all night, was no better, his face was a little worse, and the dark circles under his eyes were comparable to those of pandas.
Duan Tangtang sighed, "I can't sleep." ”
Duan Ruiyun also sighed heavily.
"Second brother, why can't you sleep?"
"Because...... Something about you? ”
"I'm also because of something."
"What a coincidence."
"yes."
The above is an emotionless conversation between the two "pandas", and after saying that, the air is quiet again.
Duan Tangtang suddenly remembered something, and asked Duan Ruiyun tentatively: "By the way, second brother." How was your hanging out with Princess Qinghui yesterday? ”
Duan Ruiyun said: "It's okay, Princess Qinghui had a lot of fun." ”
Duan Tangtang said: "What do you think of Princess Qinghui?" ”
Duan Ruiyun looked at her strangely: "What's the matter?" ”
Duan Tangtang thought for a while and said, "It's her appearance, her personality, and her ...... Something else. ”
"Princess Qinghui, she is very beautiful, gentle and easy-going, very good." Duan Ruiyun said suspiciously, "However, why are you asking this?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask casually, curious." Duan Tangtang secretly scarred in his heart, of course he couldn't directly say that I think you two have that kind of cat to ask.
Maybe this is the difference between men and women, knowing that Duan Yuelian may have a sweetheart, Duan Tangtang was worried and sleepless all night, and she found that Duan Ruiyun and Princess Qinghui seemed to be possible, but it would not be like this.
"Second brother, between you and the eldest brother...... What happened? ”
Duan Tangtang asked again, but Duan Ruiyun still avoided answering, excused himself to go to breakfast, and left in a hurry.
The more Duan Ruiyun avoided it, the more curious Duan Tangtang became, and he felt a hundred claws scratching his heart.
After Duan Ruiyun left, Duan Tangtang walked all the way, and unconsciously came to the court of the early dynasty, Duan Tangtang had secretly seen it at the door because he was curious about how he went to the early dynasty, and was found by the emperor after a good lecture, the emperor was still soft-hearted, reluctant to punish her, and let her go after saying a word.
Duan Tangtang wanted to leave, but vaguely heard the voice of the eldest brother.
Strange, isn't the eldest brother imprisoned?
Curious, I glanced inside, and found that the emperor and Duan Kongqing were inside.
Duan Kongqing knelt on the ground with his back straight, the emperor's sharp eyes stared at him, and after a while, the emperor shook his head: "Kongqing, Kongqing, why are you so obsessed." ”
Duan Kongqing didn't speak.
"You don't care, but what about the second child? How sad would he be if he knew about it, and what if I let it go like this, and let the rest of the world know about your relationship? ”
Duan Kongqing said firmly: "Erchen will protect him and will not let gossip hurt him in the slightest." ”
Duan Kongqing said again: "Second brother, he ...... No, Ruiyun likes to play the world, Erchen can accompany him, Ruiyun said that he wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and woods, and Erchen can accompany him, away from all the gossip of the mortal world. ”
Duan Tangtang's expression now can be described as shocked, because when Duan Kongqing said this, it was in a gentle tone that she had never heard before, and he directly called Duan Ruiyun's name, not the second brother.
Although she couldn't see Duan Kongqing's face at this time, she could imagine his expression, and when she said it, Duan Kongqing's expression should also be very gentle.
At this time, an incredible idea emerged in Duan Tangtang's mind.
