Chapter 38: If You and I Had Taken Off Our Disguises
While the father and son were talking in the restaurant, someone quietly climbed into a courtyard along the back wall of the handsome mansion, and the man carefully avoided the maid and servant, avoided everyone's eyes, and flashed into the wing room with ease.
There were already people waiting in the wing, the light was dim, and there was a bit of a pretending to be a ghost.
The man came in and knelt on the spot, "Your Excellency." β
"Is it done?"
Come to the human: "Back to the adult, it's all right," he couldn't help but grit his teeth, "The lion surnamed Xu opened his mouth, and he dared to add thirty percent more to the price given by the adult, it's really hateful!" β
The person called "adult" raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said indifferently: "It's okay, as long as the matter is done for me, I can still afford a few stinky money!" β
The person who came made a flattering expression on his face, knelt down a few steps forward, and said treacherously: "My lord is wise, this time I will use both prongs, I don't believe that he can't die!" β
The eyes of the "adult" flashed a trace of gloom, and the folding fan that looked like a door in his hand was broken in response, and Sen Ran spoke: "He can't die, it's you who die!" β
The person who came shivered on the spot, but soon his expression was covered with gloom, and he said as if assuring: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely call him, and there is no place to bury him!" β
"My lord" threw the folding fan on him in disgust, and snorted coldly, "You go, be careful not to be seen!" β
The person who came carefully put away the folding fan, and after saying goodbye in a deep voice, he came and left.
A conversation was silent, and no one understood what it meant except for the two people involved.
The father and son returned from the restaurant, both slightly drunk, and the two separated at the door of the house and went to their respective yards.
Cheng Jingxi hasn't been a demon again in the past two days, perhaps because she has been moisturized with her heart, her mood is not as big as before, she has not overeaten anymore, and she can still keep a smiling face in front of Ye Huaiyu all the time, which is really rare.
But even so, Ye Huaiyu's heart still has a deep sense of powerlessness.
Like a marionette, she is a puppet.
His requests were accepted by her one by one, and she spared no effort to go in the direction he requested, everything seemed to be developing for the better, but Ye Huaiyu was still faintly angry.
She's so obedient that she doesn't have emotions of her own, she should have them.
Since beating his father's birthday party, he has been waiting for her questioning, but he has never waited.
Maybe there is no evidence, maybe he won't admit it at all, she doesn't cry, she doesn't make trouble, she doesn't hurry, maybe she doesn't take him seriously at all.
There is a saying that wine strengthens people's courage, Ye San doesn't admit that he coaxes, it's just that he drinks a lot of wine today.
Bi'er brought the decanting tea, seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, she hurriedly withdrew, and wanted to run away, but suddenly realized that she had nowhere to go, so she had to stay outside in fear.
"What is Your Highness thinking?"
Cheng Jingxi's eyebrows raised slightly, although she was smiling, her words were not straightforward, "I wonder why you drank so much wine, and when will you be able to drink the decanting soup." β
Ye Huaiyu raised a finger and shook it, "No, this is not what His Highness thinks!" β
Cheng Jingxi: "Do you drink?" β
Ye Huaiyu snorted and laughed, shaking his head, like a big child who does not forgive and makes trouble, "I don't drink." β
Cheng Jingxi greeted his ancestors in his heart very civilly.
After marrying in for so long, it was the first time she had seen that the person she married would be an occasional drunkard.
"Don't you really drink it?"
Ye Huaiyu shook his head, but he was very stubborn, and said categorically: "I really don't drink it!" β
However, in the next moment, he was poured a mouthful of soup without warning.
Some of them flowed out of their mouths, and some of them didn't seem to go into their stomachs, but went straight to their heads.
It was dark in front of him, and Ye Huaiyu almost fainted.
It's rude.
In the interval between being poured soup, I couldn't help but think like this.
But perhaps the person who poured the soup was too serious, and he didn't realize that the person who was poured had quietly stretched out his hands and wrapped her to one side, a void circle, but like an extremely simple shackle.
I want to paint the ground as a prison, and I want to be desperate. Little did I know that one day I would be so attached to you, even if it was only for a short time, it would be so unbearable.
"Are you sober?" The unaware person asked in a vicious voice, without a hint of princess temperament.
Ye Huaiyu looked at her like a fool, the smile on her face seemed to be unable to go away from now, and she began to play hooligan with a very shameless face, and her empty hands began to touch Cheng Jingxi's body dishonestly, "Xu is even more drunk......"
Cheng Jingxi was really shocked, and even forgot about the resistance for a short time, and stood on the spot dumbfounded, and was touched neatly.
Cheng Jingxi's face was almost distorted.
"It's uglier," Ye Huaiyu thought wildly, "It's so ugly......"
But his aesthetics are also distorted, but he loves this look.
I'm afraid it's not crazy.
But, so what?
"Ye Huaiyu?"
Can't hear can't hear can't hear!
He staggered to his feet, ignoring the impending punches and kicks she had warned about, and even less of her struggles, he tightened the cage he had built, and she was hugged by him.
The smell of wine came to her face, and Cheng Jingxi was so smoked that she couldn't breathe, so she could only hold her breath and grit her teeth and swear: "When you wake up, His Royal Highness will definitely kill you!" β
There was no threat at all.
Ye Huaiyu was still smiling, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
"When I wake up, I'll lie down at your mercy." He didn't add any fatal condiments to his wine today, so that the smell of wine spewed out was mixed with shamelessness.
Cheng Jingxi was really difficult to cope with in the face of such a person, and when she was helpless, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the maid probing her brain by the door, and she didn't care about any face problems for a while, and while pushing him, she yelled outside: "Bi'erββ"
"Bi'er," Ye Huaiyu also shouted outside when she saw this, and deliberately covered her voice, "Close the door, don't guard it!" β
"No ......"
Just as she was about to stop her, Ye Huaiyu actually didn't want to kiss her in an image gesture, and Cheng Jingxi immediately obediently shut up.
And it was this one who shut up Cheng Jingxi completely lost the opportunity, the maid Bi'er adhered to the principle that whoever has the loudest voice will listen to whomever it is, snickered and closed the door very dutifully, and kicked to the gate to lock the courtyard door, and then ran back to her room without delay, and covered her head with a quilt.
Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people.
Cheng Jingxi in the house completely lost her usual good face.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
What does he mean by being held face to face and standing in the middle of the room, not advancing or retreating?
"I'm going out of Beijing tomorrow." He suddenly became serious, his tone was lonely, and he was completely different from the previous drunkard.
The style of painting changed sharply, and Cheng Jingxi was caught off guard, so she once again lost the opportunity to seize the opportunity, and only had time to stammer, "...... Yes? β
Ye Huaiyu said, "You asked me why I drank so much wine," he paused and continued, "Today, my father called me out and told me a lot of things after leaving Beijing, although he didn't say it explicitly, but I could see that he was not at ease. β
Cheng Jingxi was taken in in a daze, and asked by the way: "That gang of bandits, but it is very tricky?" β
Ye Huaiyu nodded, the truth is like fake wine mixed with water, "The bandit led by him is very powerful, it is said that he is still a person who is both civil and military, experienced and ruthless, and he does not let go of the old and young women and children everywhere he goes, and he is an extremely dangerous person." β
Cheng Jingxi was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but worry: "But you are inexperienced, how can you eliminate him?" β
Ye Huaiyu sighed sincerely, and his heart was lax before the victory was in his hands, "It's because I don't know what to do that I didn't pay attention to drinking a lot of wine." β
"I want to enter the palace to see the emperor!"
Ye Huaiyu was distracted half-heartedly, and unfortunately, Cheng Jingxi, who was struggling in a hurry, suddenly unloaded her strength, and seeing that people were about to run out, Ye Huaiyu hurriedly chased after her and hugged her from behind, "Don't go!" β
"You have a limited number of battles with your troops, how can you withstand such a veteran person? I went to the emperor to plead and asked him to assign someone else to go again! β
Ye Huaiyu's tone was helpless, "I'm going to go tomorrow, who do you ask the emperor to assign temporarily?" β
Cheng Jingxi still kept struggling outside, "That's not good, it's dangerous for you to go, what should you do if you die?" No, don't stop me, I'm going to enter the palace to see the emperor today! β
Ye Huaiyu said in his heart, isn't he playing big hair, his ugly wife is really serious.
But the play always has to go on, and it can't just collapse.
He led her little by little and led her into the ditch, but he had not yet heard what he wanted to hear.
But what's terrible is that the strength of the wine seems to have only come up at this time, and the heart and head are all clamoring and shouting at him, and there are many words on his lips intermittently, but he can't form a complete sentence.
I can't trap her! Ye Huaiyu thought dizzily, okay, it's the last resort.
He let go of his hand suddenly, but the person who had been struggling forward did not rush forward, she stood steadily, but as soon as she turned around, she saw that the person behind her fell to the ground first and rolled her eyes, and then she was likely to foam at the mouth.
Cheng Jingxi couldn't help but start admiring.
After waiting for a while, without waiting for the white foam to spit out, Cheng Jingxi estimated that maybe this performance was a bit difficult, so that people who had not prepared in advance could not show it, so they had to continue to pretend to be unconscious.
When she's a fool?
And drunk!
I'll play your grandma's legs!
The man on the ground fell asleep silently, and then snored softly.
Cheng Jingxi raised his leg and wanted to kick him awake, but after trying, he finally gave up, thinking that he was about to leave tomorrow, no matter how big his anger was, it turned into a soft breeze and dissipated.
opened the door and shouted Bi'er, the little maid hurriedly responded, a pair of eyes wanted to look at her but didn't dare to look at her, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth that couldn't be held back.
Cheng Jingxi didn't have the heart to settle the account with her just now, so she turned around and went back to the house, "Come here and help!" β
Bi'er trotted in, and said neatly: "Your Highness rests, how can this kind of thing bother Your Highness, it's all a slave's business!" β
The maid couldn't stop her inner life when she spoke, and said that the young master was really good at playing, and that kind of thing could still be on the ground!
"Can you help him to the couch yourself?"
Bi'er gave it a try, shook her head embarrassedly, and sincerely suggested, "Princess, there are really too few maids in our yard, we should ask Madame more for a few." β
Cheng Jingxi ignored her, leaned over and dragged the person over with her, during which Bi'er kept looking at Cheng Jingxi from time to time, and she didn't know what she was looking at.
Cheng Jingxi didn't know why, but she didn't have the heart to dig into it at the moment, and after telling her to clean the house, she went to the window and sat down quietly, and she didn't say a word until the little maid left.
An hour later, Ye Huaiyu woke up slowly.
The figure of Jingxi's gaze swayed back and forth, and he had a headache.
After a while, he felt much more awake than before, and he could see that no one was actually looking at him in front of him, which was completely his delusion.
Ye Huaiyu, who realized this, opened his eyes suddenly, and his drunken voice was like a male duck calling, "Jingxi! β
However, there was no one in the room.
After waiting for a long time, he tried to call again: "Bi'er? β
"It's coming!" The little maid responded in a timely manner, and said inside through the screen, "The young master is awake?" β
There was a squirming sound inside, and then Ye Huaiyu's voice came after clearing his throat, "Well, what about the princess?" β
Bi'er said briskly: "The princess is watching the sunset in the courtyard!" The slave and maid are calling you! β
After saying that, he turned around and ran, not having time to listen to his master's next orders.
Ye Huaiyu's hand was in the air, and a hoarse "no" was held between his lips and teeth, and then how did he come and how to go back.
When he pretended to be crazy and stupid in front of her, he hadn't figured out how to meet her face to face.
It's just that the traces of his performance are too heavy, and she can see it!
When he was in a daze, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps outside the door, and Ye Huaiyu's empty heart was suddenly retracted, and he hung up uncompetitively.
Cheng Jingxi turned the screen, his gaze fell on Ye Huaiyu for a moment, and then swept away.
Her face was expressionless, as if she was about to burst out laughing.
Ye Huaiyu wanted to speak, but he wanted to speak and stopped, at this time, even if someone was full of wealth or could say that the dead were alive, they would not have the face to open this mouth.
Cheng Jingxi turned outside and poured a glass of water back, and didn't pass it over directly, but asked, "Are you thirsty?" β
"No...... Ah I drink, drink! β
Smooth sailing, people before and after are people who have been like dogs for more than 20 years, and unfortunately encountered Cheng Jingxi, a watershed.
"Are you done singing?"
Ye Huaiyu felt very sad in his heart, nodded and admitted helplessly: "The singing is over." β
"Actually, I don't know why you're going crazy with the fact that you haven't drunk much."
Ye Huaiyu looked at her and scratched his heart with a hundred claws.
He wanted to hear her say, since the road ahead is difficult and difficult, why not go with you.
But he didn't want her to be like that.
Most of what she said to her was made up, but if it wasn't enough, it would happen in case the time came.
She didn't have to put herself in danger for him.
Ye Huaiyu, who was self-styled, thought left and right in his heart, and faintly put a smile on his lips, and replied: "Xu hasn't left home for a long time, and I'm a little sad." β
Cheng Jingxi pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids and sighed: "Husband Jun is really a sentimental person. β
Ye Huaiyu smiled, ignored her sarcasm, and admitted: "Xu is a common problem of literati who have drunk too much ink in the past few years. Or maybe it's the sequelae of drunkenness, so the words he said are still extremely shameless, "How did Your Highness find out that I did it on purpose?" β
When drunk, the mask is taken off, and all the layers of camouflage are removed; After sobering up, everything returned to its place again, as if no one had lost their guard for anyone, and was honest with each other.
Cheng Jingxi said quietly: "From your first sentence." β
Ye Huaiyu raised his forehead, "My play is so clumsy? β
Cheng Jingxi said: "Yes, my husband Xu was born with incomplete five tones, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was out of tune. β
It turned out that he had been too restrained for a long time, so that the change was abrupt and the opening was absurd, which led to flaws, which people could see through at a glance.
"So Your Highness is willing to accompany me in this play to see what my purpose is."
Cheng Jingxi's throat was a little dry, and her eyes were staring at the glass of water in Ye Huaiyu's hand, "No, I'm idle." β
When she has any mood swings, she has a dry mouth and an empty stomach.
But she didn't want him to see it at this time.
Ye Huaiyu smiled silently, got up and got out of bed, as if he was very easy to put the cup closer to his wife, "Your Highness is really interested." β
"Each other, each other." Cheng Jingxi stretched out her hand unexpectedly, thinking that she had secretly rolled the water cup in front of her, pretending to moisten her throat, taking a small sip and another sip.
Ye Huaiyu didn't see it, nor did he look at her, the sunset outside the window was about to disappear, and it was smeared into a very wonderful appearance in the sky, he looked at it for a long time, his eyes were cold, and he proposed, "Is Your Highness hungry?" β
Cheng Jingxi is very honest at this point: "Hungry." β
"Then let's set the table!"
This night passed quietly, and the next morning, the sun was sharp, and Ye Huaiyu went out of the room neatly dressed.
Cheng Jingxi rarely got up early, followed closely behind, "Ye Huaiyu! β
The person who was stopped was really stunned, and even a trace of emotion flashed on his calm face, he froze in place, quickly picked up his facial expression, turned to look at her, and the corners of his eyes softened, "What's wrong?" β
"Are you sure Anqu County is to the east?"
"I'm sure."
"Oh, it's okay."
Ye Huaiyu's lips moved slightly, he looked at his ugly wife, and saw that she didn't have any facial features that could be handled, and suddenly felt a little sad.
"Don't worry." He said.
"I'm not worried," she stiffened, "your play is mixed with ninety percent water, what do I have to worry about?" β
He raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently covered Cheng Jingxi's cheek with a calloused palm, he still said, "Don't worry." β
The area covered was expected to be red, not very pretty, just like yesterday's sunset.
At this time, Ye Huaiyu's eyes were slightly warm.
She lowered her head and hummed almost inaudibly, "Hmm." β
When seeing off outside the gate, no one expected that there would be people hiding in the dark, and the man followed the Ye family father and son all the way, and after making sure that they were really out of Beijing, they changed the route to the west, and traveled all the way.
Someone was holding a woman in one hand on the bed, and when he heard the report, he smiled solemnly.
