Chapter 32: Hate is nowhere to be found
In the half-bright and half-ambiguous sky, the rain suddenly came, and the rain became bigger and bigger, the sky was soon white and expansive, the raindrops of the rain fell and knocked on the ground, stirred up the jumping beads endlessly, splashed jade shattered, the torrential rain was like a pillar, thousands of threads of knocking on the rubble into a drum and blowing the sheng, the bell rang, under the rain curtain covering the sky, all kinds of dust turned into nothingness.
Originally, he was lying on a flat mountain rock in a corner of the imperial garden to rest, but who knew that the heavy rain was coming, and he couldn't hide, so he had to run away with his skirt to find a landing spot to shelter from the rain. The cold raindrops whipped down on his body like thorns, and soon his clothes were soaked, his hair was scattered, and he was embarrassed.
"Niangniang, there is a pavilion in front, go there to hide from the rain." Li Fei, who was running behind him, panted.
I raised my eyebrows and looked, in the hazy rain curtain, in the octagonal lacquer red square pavilion, there were three people sheltering from the rain, Chen Qian and the two common followers Jiang Yu and Han Zigao.
I didn't want to see Chen Qian's face, so I immediately frowned and said: "Anyway, I'm all soaking wet, and I still care about getting drenched for a while and a half, what kind of rain to hide, so I simply go back to the palace to change my clothes." ”
After that, he raised his legs and ran away faster, and Li Fei hurriedly shouted: "Niangniang, wait for the slave!" ”
The arm was suddenly grabbed by brute force, pulled and swirled, and when he raised his eyes, Chen Qian's tense face was raised, and he shouted in his ear, "It's raining so hard, what are you running, what should you do if you get sick!" ”
I couldn't help but say that he dragged me back to the pavilion with one hand, and Li Fei hurriedly followed. Chen Qian's moon-white clothes were already wet, and his face was also wet. Mine was even worse, my dress was wet and dripping with water, and a lock of hair scattered between my forehead was sliding down my wet and cool face, and some of them fell from between my eyebrows and into my eyes, and my eyes were sour and uncomfortable.
Jiang Yu handed over a fine silk to Chen Qian to wipe his face, and Chen Qian was about to wipe it on my face with the silk. I was startled, and subconsciously leaned away from it, and then stepped back. Chen Qian didn't comply, pulled me back, and wiped it on my face with a silk, one at a time, soft and delicate, so gentle that I wondered if this was the Chen Qian who shook my face at every turn?
wiped it clean, took away the handkerchief, and Chen Qian's eyebrows soothed slightly, gradually dyed with a layer of rippling tenderness of spring water. At first glance, the hairs on my body stood upside down, and the alarm bell in my heart was loud, why did this person suddenly become so kind, wouldn't he be planning any conspiracy again?
Thinking about it like this, the chill on my body was even worse, I took a step back, widened the distance between me and Chen Qian, and shouted at Li Fei: "Li Fei, go back to the palace!" ”
As soon as I took a step, I was immediately dragged back by the people behind me, Chen Qian glared at me angrily and annoyed, "I just pulled you in and want to leave, do you have to toss your body out of illness!" ”
With a wave of my hand, I shook off his hand and replied without showing weakness: "I don't know when the rain will stop when it rains so heavily, and if I don't go back and change this wet clothes, I will still get sick." ”
Chen Qian frowned slightly, and instructed Jiang Yu on the side, "Jiang Yu, you go and get me an umbrella." ”
With the emperor's order, Jiang Yu dared to delay, and hurriedly agreed to go to get an umbrella in the heavy rain.
After the order, Chen Qian glanced at me with a bad face, "Can you be less angry for a while?" ”
"Okay." My voice became clear and clear, "Your Majesty let me out of the palace, so you don't have to see me anymore, so naturally there is nothing to talk about." ”
"Nope." Chen Qian didn't want to think about it, so he vetoed it without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, women have been valued and women have been light, and women have been insignificant in the face of national affairs. I'm a weak woman, what use can I do to you? I patiently reasoned with him, "Yu Wenyong doesn't value me as much as you think, he may just be a whim for me, maybe he will forget me after a year and a half." I don't think I have that much charm to restrain him, not to mention whether Yuwen Yong is sincere to me, now it is Yuwen who is in charge of the government, and it is not Yuwen Yong's turn to take care of national affairs. He's just an empty shelf, even if he has the heart to save me, but as a puppet, what can he do? ”
I didn't shy away from Han Zigao's presence, he was also there when he caught the spies, he knew the grievances between me and Chen Qian best, there was no need to pretend in front of him, I concluded: "So, it won't work at all for you to use me to contain Yuwenyong." You better let me out of the palace, lest Your Majesty upset me when you see me, it will be good for you and me. ”
I thought that I would be reasonable with him in analyzing the situation, even if he didn't agree, he would be shaken, but who knew that Chen Qian's face was as cold as hail after listening to it, and his eyes pierced my heart like a knife, "I see that you see that I am upset, you say so much, don't you want to break off the relationship with Yuwen Yong?" You are afraid that your stay here will be detrimental to Yuwen Yong and make him a problem, so you try your best to convince me to let you go. ”
Chen Qian's black pupils were covered with heavy ice, and he approached me coldly, "You care about him so much?" Want to get out of the palace, go back to find Yu Wenyong, and live happily ever after with him? Don't! ”
"What I'm saying is the truth!" I was also annoyed, and said angrily, "What's the use of me staying with a woman who has nothing to do with the overall situation, what can I do to help you with the matter between you men, obviously it's useless for me to stay in this for you, and you still refuse to let go." Unless you still hold a grudge against me, you want to trap me in this palace to torture me and get revenge on me! ”
"Yes." Somehow, Chen Qian's eyes were red, and he shouted at me angrily, "I just hate you, I want to imprison your freedom, I just want to take revenge on you, what can you do!" ”
"You!" I was angry, and when I saw that Jiang Yu, who had gone and returned, happened to come back with an umbrella, I took three steps and snatched an umbrella from his hand, opened the umbrella angrily and ran into the rain.
"Mother." Li Fei hurriedly caught up, took the umbrella in my hand to hold it for me, and asked cautiously, "What is the matter between Niangniang and Your Majesty, how can it be ......?"
"What's going on?" I sneered angrily, "Didn't you hear it all?" ”
Seeing that my face was not good, Li Fei didn't dare to ask any more, so she just held an umbrella for me and followed me through the torrential rain.
Back in Yilan Palace, I changed into clean clothes, and Li Fei brought me a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold. When I was drinking the hot ginger soup, Li Fei suddenly said a few words, "Although the slave maid doesn't know what happened between His Majesty and Niangniang, the slave and maid look at Your Majesty, not like she is really angry with Niangniang, but like she is jealous." ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" I almost choked on the ginger soup, "what is there to be jealous of him?" ”
Li Fei peeked at my face and hesitated: "Niangniang is the person on the tip of Your Majesty's heart, but Niangniang's words made Your Majesty think ...... Think you're thinking about someone else...... Nature...... Naturally, I felt uncomfortable. ”
The person on the top of the heart? Indeed, he is indeed as much in his heart as I am, and he longs for the other person to die all the time.
Jealous? How could he be jealous? Joke!
Under the weather? Maybe there is, after all, nominally I'm still his concubine. I talked about other men in front of him and the palace people, and he felt that he couldn't get by on his face, and because of the man's vanity, he was naturally a little uncomfortable to see that I didn't love him like other women.
——
I heard from the palace people that Chen Qian was drenched in some rain, suffered from wind and cold, and was sick in bed, and many concubines went to the Shiqian Palace to serve the sick. I raised my eyebrows slightly, I wasn't sick, he was sick after so much rain? The foundation is really bad.
"Not really." Li Fei explained, "I heard Gonggong Jiang say that after Niangniang left that day, Your Majesty was alone in the rain for a long time before he got sick. ”
He has a problem with his brain, what is he doing in the rain when he has nothing to do? However, the corners of my lips unconsciously curled, revealing a smile that I couldn't hide, this illness is so good, it's better to toss him to death, he deserves it!
In the past few days of Chen Qian's illness, I have eaten well and slept soundly, I am in a good mood, and my life is delicious, I don't know how comfortable it is. Yunxi couldn't bear it anymore, watching me leaning on the recliner and flipping through a book with relish, I was so anxious to walk around, and persuaded: "Niangniang, all the palace niangniang have gone to serve the sick, and now there is only one Niangniang left, shouldn't Niangniang go to see Your Majesty?" ”
I flipped through a page and said lazily: "What am I going to do, I'm not a doctor, and I won't get better if I go to His Majesty's illness, so I won't go." ”
"Then it's good to simmer some decoction and show your feelings."
I changed to a more comfortable posture to read a book, and said casually: "There are too many people to simmer soup and medicine for Your Majesty, so I'm going to add to the mess." Besides, if Your Majesty drinks the decoction I sent, his condition worsens, and he does bad things with good intentions, which of you can afford it? ”
"Niangniang...... Yunxi wanted to say something, but I glared at her with one look, and she didn't dare to squeak.
I said with a straight face, "Don't make any more noises with me, let me read quietly for a while." ”
Yunxi had no choice but to retreat.
When I am not flipping through books, I also think of Master from time to time. Although Master treats me lightly, lukewarmly, he always goes out and wanders, leaving me alone at home. But at least he won't harm me, he won't calculate me, I'm free and safe. It's not like here, you're either being used by others, or you're framed by others, and you live in fear.
When he took Li Fei to wander around the Imperial Garden, he unfortunately ran into Chen Qian, and it was obvious that his illness had been cured, but his complexion was slightly pale and he had not fully recovered. I gritted my teeth secretly, why didn't I make him sick for a little longer, and it would only be a few days?
I pretended to salute him and wanted to smear oil on the soles of my feet and leave, but Chen Qian grabbed me with one hand and pulled me back forcefully, and his gloomy eyes pressed straight towards me, and his hand was clasped tighter and tighter. It makes my hand chuckle and hurt, I can't earn it no matter how much I earn it, how can I have so much strength when I have just been sick?
"Your Majesty, I don't seem to have offended you lately, have I?" I endured the pain and forced out a smile.
"Qing'er, you look good during your illness, your spirit is also sufficient, you eat and drink well, sleep well, and live happily." Chen Qian's smile was warm like a touch of the warm sun on an April day, and she even reached out and touched my face. I just felt shivers all over my body, especially when the hand moved over my face. Soon, Wen Xu's smile turned into Xiao Su's face, and he said with a sinister look in his eyes, "I've been sick for so many days, why haven't you come to see me once, don't you really take me seriously?" ”
