The two of them went with Xia Zhuyue, and the atmosphere in the cabin condensed in an instant, and only the lights at the four corners kept beating.

Cheng Qingxuan sat not far from her, but he didn't look at her, and only after a long time did he raise his voice and order: "Start the boat." ”

Someone let go of the rope that tied the bow of the boat, Ruoyun looked through the window covered with beaded curtains, and the lights of the stilted building in the Miao Village in the distance from bottom to top like sky lanterns gradually blurred, and the moon and stars became more and more bright.

Fang Cai's title made her feel as painful as a dream, she didn't dare to look at Cheng Qingxuan, she pretended to be sleepy and lay down on her back, and the humid and hot air in southern Xinjiang seemed to be slightly cold.

She was silently depressed, it was difficult to resolve her love and hatred, and the knot of death could not be resolved, especially when she took over the golden book, she embarked on a road from which there was no turning back.

Ruoyun looked down and saw that she was wearing Tianyi's clothes when she came and was regarded as a spy, and when she went, she was wearing Miao people's clothes and was incompatible with this elegantly arranged cabin, she lost blood and felt depressed, so she fell asleep on her back.

Unexpectedly, the next day due to the change of the sky and the southwest wind rose, when the wind and water came, at this moment the light boat was pushed forward quickly is also smooth sailing, the dawn she knew that there were three or four ships with her, no matter where they went, they were not close or far away.

There have always been few people in the palace with different surnames, although there are occasional attendants in the light boat, but most of them are only her and Cheng Qingxuan, and although she was surprised and happy because of the reunion, she was melancholy because she was a palace concubine.

And Cheng Qingxuan has a very light temperament, either sitting upright and concentrating, or thinking deeply from afar, or checking the pulse with her, although he has mentioned the pulse and told her to rest, he has never said much the rest of the time, as if he is thinking about what problem is at a loss.

Such and such. It was even more difficult for her to speak to Cheng Qingxuan, and she couldn't speak for a long time when she looked at his elegant figure, let alone mention the misunderstanding back then and apologized in person.

Fortunately, Ruoyun's body has not recovered. Most of the time, I will take a nap when I look at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and I will be confused except for changing my clothes and eating two light pasta meals throughout the day.

When it was dark, the vision suddenly opened up, and it seemed that the boat had left the mountain river and merged into the tributaries of the river.

Ruoyun never knew how the river in the mountains was circuitous, obviously only separated by a village, this Dongzhai light boat into the water was even faster than the trip to find the Xizhai, looking at the lights on the other bank and exclaiming: "Are we going back to Beijing?" ”

"Do you want to go back to Beijing?" Cheng Qingxuan asked in surprise, took a soft cushion and put it under her wrist.

"I thought this was the ......" Ruoyun reacted to the abrupt question asked. He stopped suddenly, looked at his calm face and said in annoyance, "I don't have a home." You shouldn't say 'back'. After that, he looked at the light boat that followed behind, and it seemed that the boat was loaded with something, because it was useful.

"It's okay, you can go back if you want." Cheng Qingxuan tapped her pulse and pondered it carefully. He didn't lift his head. "Zhu Yue and I are here to clear the Valley of Gu Poison, and we were planning to return. You grew up in Beijing since childhood, and it is not suitable to stay in a hot and humid place for a long time, but it is a tiring journey, so it is best for you to close your eyes and recuperate. ”

Listening to his instructions and giving her a proper reason, Ruoyun couldn't help but grab Bai and said: "Xia Zhuyue has solved the Gu for me, it should be fine." The prince must have something to do, so he should listen to the prince first. ”

Cheng Qingxuan's face darkened. He withdrew his finger and looked at her, and sighed, "There are more than a dozen kinds of blood Gu. Xia Zhuyue's method of pulling out Gu is to use the blood qi to force it out, rather than finding out the Gu seed and pulling it out, which is also the last thing I want to see. But when you lost a lot of blood and qi, Zhu Yue also solved it smoothly in case there was a change, but unfortunately, in this way, your body was afraid of losing even more......"

He looked at her white, dark face, her radiated and emaciated appearance, and let out a long sigh.

"I'm fine, I really ......" Ruoyun hurriedly comforted her, except for the fact that she couldn't run and jump and was mentally sluggish, everything else was as usual compared to the painful heart-lung situation when the cold palace was filled with blood and begonias were slapped again, and she couldn't survive.

Cheng Qingxuan was gloomy and took out the needle to follow her blood qi, checked the pulse casually and frowned slightly: "Do you take the medicine you bring with you every day?" ”

"Yes, Lord Huai instructed me to have one a day." As she spoke, she reached for it.

Cheng Qingxuan raised his hand to stop her and shook his head: "You don't need to check it, I know the prescription." ”

"Does the prince know the way?" This time it was Ruoyun's turn to be surprised.

"It's because I know that I feel strange, it's unreasonable for you to take medicine on time and be so weak, not to mention that I have ......more than a day of acupuncture" Cheng Qingxuan quickly withdrew his hand from the needle, pondered for a moment, and said, "The water is not grounded, and there is a lack of medicine in the boat, you can endure it for two days for the time being, and then go to the shore for treatment." As he spoke, he untied the white silk and applied medicine for her.

Ruoyun couldn't guess the reason when she touched his deep gaze, but seeing him methodically pressing the medicine powder, the smooth hair hanging down between her head and brushing her wrist, she couldn't help but take a breath and pluck up the courage to say: "It's Ruoyun who is sorry for the prince and misunderstood the prince, and it is not worth the prince to do this for me." ”

Cheng Qingxuan's movements on his hands paused suddenly, and then said softly: "The humidity is heavier, and your hands should not be wrapped for a long time, so you should be careful not to get wet." ”

"Lord Wang!" Ruoyun retracted her palms violently, sat up straight and said hurriedly, "I have seen all the things in the box that Bai Ze brought me that day, I ......" She grabbed his medicine hand in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice, "I think of how I met Lu and how I saw you again, I think of how you taught me to play the qin, I think of the quiet light we spent together, and I also think of the meeting of the prince in the mountains that day...... I...... Sorry ......"

Cheng Qingxuan slowly raised her head, her watery eyes met hers, and she smiled: "I understand." ”

Her words were mixed and mixed, and they all disappeared under his gaze: "The second half of the letter from the prince, but I got it from Zhao Wuyang?" ”

"Yes, I have something to blackmail him." He told the truth.

"It's a pity that I didn't know that the prince was concerned about my safety that day, and I didn't listen to the prince, so I really shouldn't." Every time she remembered that when he tried to stop her in the Forbidden Palace, she was ashamed, and couldn't help but look away, and said worriedly, "I just don't know, in the Ronghua Palace that day, the prince asked me to ...... Let me 'self-respect' words, but sincerely? ”

She held her breath as if she was waiting for the verdict to be announced.

"Yes." Cheng Qingxuan replied almost without thinking.

She suddenly felt her heart quickly fall to the bottom, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that his eyes were in pain.

Cheng Qingxuan did not dodge or dodge. He also said: "The emperor is on the throne and the ministers are in the ranks, and every move is related to safety, how can you not be self-respecting and considerate?" ”

Ruoyun was stunned. I didn't expect him to answer like this, remembering that day the Ronghua Palace gaffe, almost pinched the handle, and felt guilty for a while, his heart was like a knife, and he lowered his head and said, "Lord Wang...... I'm sorry...... I...... I shouldn't have ......"

"It's useless to talk about the past." Cheng Qingxuan withdrew his hand quietly, and continued to sprinkle medicinal powder on her palm as if nothing had happened.

Ruoyun's breath was stagnant. I don't know if the "past" he said includes everything about her and him, but looking at his indifferent appearance, he became more and more depressed, and understood that it was useless to understand whether it was or not. Then he smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am already a palace concubine." ”

Cheng Qingxuan tightened the strength of his fingers, put away the medicine bottle and stood up, raised his hand to her neck and pressed it to a place: "Don't think about it." Take care of your body first. ”

The words are out. Ruoyun felt that his eyes were blurry, and he realized that he had pressed some acupuncture points to promote sleepiness, opened his mouth and leaned on the couch obediently.

The light boat seemed to be diverted, she didn't know the road and couldn't distinguish it, she only felt that the scenery on both sides of the strait was different from when she came, and it was only half a day's work to occasionally pass by the small city and anchor.

Since asking those few words, Cheng Qingxuan has not neglected a little because she is a palace concubine, and she has not been happy or sad because of her apology. She never treated her even half a minute because of the past, she felt that she was shrouded in hopelessness and gloomy clouds. I don't have the courage to ask any more questions.

When there were still two pills left in the bottle, and the weather had already changed from the damp heat of the seedling field to the cool, she knew that she was far away from southern Xinjiang.

When it reached a water area, the light boat quickly turned into the river, and after a short time, it actually entered the crowded city and slowly approached the shore.

"Come ashore with me, the man should be in a hurry." Cheng Qingxuan, who had been standing on the side of the boat for a long time, approached her and stretched out his hand to her.

"Who?" Ruoyunhu was suspicious, but still obediently followed him ashore.

Cheng Qingxuan smiled slightly and did not answer, and after going ashore, he gave a few words to the guards and sent someone to do something, and he hired a car to sit with her.

The carriage passed through the noisy city and stopped in front of a large mansion, Ruoyun was still in a trance after sitting on the boat for too long, turned her head and did not see the attendants following, and the things of the light boat were not transported here, only to hear a high-raised voice coming from the house:

"It's finally here! I'm going to rust! Hurry up, I'm relieved that I'm on a good job. ”

As soon as the words fell, the extremely familiar figure flashed out from within, with a gold pendant inlaid under Bai Ze's refreshing and capable white robe, and a row of gems embedded in his waist, and his white face suddenly showed brilliance.

He stood firm in front of her and narrowed his eyes at her: "Girl! Long time no see! You ......"

Yu Baize looked her up and down, and his eyes widened as if he had seen something terrible: "Why did you make yourself like this?" Are you still sick? Huai Xuanmo abused you? Or Xia Zhuyue's bastard? ”

He asked a beaded question as he stepped forward and shook her shoulders hard.

Ruoyun bared his teeth when he tried hard, glared at him and said, "Don't you have something serious to do?" As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Qingxuan beside him.

Cheng Qingxuan secretly raised his hand and pulled her over, motioned for her to enter together, and hooked his lips at Bai Ze: "Zhao Wuyang? ”

"This is Old Man An's house, it's okay to stay as long as you want, but it's very boring." Bai Ze seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, said to Cheng Qingxuan as he walked, raised his foot and kicked the door, "I detained him in Longhua Villa, and I couldn't wait for you to come, so I went down to Yecheng and waited." ”

"Did you catch Zhao Wuyang?" Ruoyun exclaimed.

"Zhao Wuyang is not a difficult person to catch, and he doesn't know kung fu." Bai Ze looked like he was taken for granted and caught, and suddenly became embarrassed again, "That is very strange, not only is he good, but he would even think of the Taishi Si Hakodate hiding in the palace, which is too unexpected." This time, the golden cicada came out of its shell, and it was really unexpected. ”

Cheng Qingxuan sighed, his face solemn.

"I know who that person is." Ruoyun thought about it and stood in front of the hall, met their surprised gazes, and nodded almost certainly, "I found some clues in Zhao Wuyang's letters, this person—you may know." (To be continued......)
