Chapter 183: Two Steps Away
"You still know what you have to do." Cheng Qingsu's face was displeased, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "You have been closed since you came to Longhua Villa, are you trying to force me to kill her?" Obviously, I let it go, so I used a little trick to cover my ears, but I didn't expect such a result, Huai Xuanmo, a nosy ......"
Before he finished speaking, the soft sword at his waist was put on his neck, Cheng Qingsu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you going to kill my brother now?" After speaking, he gritted his teeth and looked at his brother in front of him, who was usually tepid, but now he had a different mood.
"Because you are a brother, I understand your feelings, and please be considerate of me, you and I should not turn against each other because of this." Cheng Qingxuan put away the sword after speaking.
"It's really a brother." Cheng Qingsu sarcastically said mercilessly, although he was angry, he couldn't refute it, so he had to sneer, "It was you who decided to let go at the beginning, and now you are the one who regrets it, and now the blame is all on me?" ”
"Naturally, the sin is mine, so I ask my brother to forgive me." Cheng Qingxuan bowed with his sleeves up, respectful.
"Qingsu is right, if you kill Su Ruoyun, maybe you can save a lot of trouble. But Qingsu, if you want to kill Su Ruoyun now, you will not only lose a younger brother, but also a close friend. A long figure appeared behind Cheng Qingsu with a grin, put one hand on his shoulder, and provoked Cheng Qingsu to raise his hand and open it dissatisfied.
"Baize is right." Cheng Qingxuan looked at Bai Ze, and calmly looked at Cheng Qingsu.
"Yu Baize, it's not enough for you to add fuel to the fire, are you trying to force me now?" Cheng Qingsu squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth and glared at Bai Ze fiercely.
"Gee, it's always up to you. I don't have the right to interject. Bai Ze ruthlessly exposed the time when he had monopolized affairs and was not accommodating at all glances, and touched Cheng Qingsu's gloomy face and yawned hurriedly. His gaze turned around him and then fell back to Cheng Qingxuan, "Hey." The girl woke up. ”
Cheng Qingxuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he saluted Cheng Qingsu again, and said solemnly: "I am here, begging my eldest brother to allow me one thing." ”
Cheng Qingsu saw that he couldn't afford to hold it for a long time, so he subconsciously turned sideways, but he didn't say anything if he refused.
Although Ruoyun was very carefully guarded, Penglai Pavilion was embedded in the mountainside, and it was surrounded by organs, so there was no need for anyone to guard it at all, and even the food and drink were teleported from the other side of the lake by relying on the mechanism. At night, it is even more silent and full of insects.
She leaned against the doorpost of Penglai Pavilion, looking up at the Tianhe River hanging high, sighing that it was only time to close her eyes and open her eyes, it was already summer to autumn, and everything in the palace seemed to be blown away by the cool breeze with the scorching heat.
Ruoyun felt tired after standing for a while, and had to believe that she was indeed seriously ill, so that although her spirit was good but her body was tired, but without the pain that often accompanied her every move, she felt smooth even if she stretched her body and moved her muscles and bones.
She jumped twice at random. When I went to the table and took a sip of tea, I heard the sound of the bridge moving, and then the beaded curtain outside the door was lifted.
"I thought that when this Penglai Pavilion arrived at night, no one would come." Ruoyun didn't turn around. Instead, he sniffed the aroma of tea and said casually.
"I couldn't get out of the medicine at noon, so Bai Ze visited me for me." Cheng Qingxuan's gentle voice sounded behind her, and then a steaming medicine was placed on the table.
"I was about to ask the prince. How many patches do I need to drink to heal? Ruoyun put down the teacup and picked up the medicine bowl with both hands. He drank without frowning, and asked as he looked at the long figure he threw on the ground.
"Did Bai Ze bring something to ask you?" Unexpectedly. Cheng Qingxuan avoided her question and asked.
"Yes, he asked me what to do with Li Mu." Ruoyun smiled helplessly, but still didn't turn around.
"How?"
The smile on Ruoyun's lips was gradually put away, and she simply sighed, "I said to Bai Ze, what Zhao Wuyang does, how to deal with this Li Mu." One is a disciple and the other is a son, and they can't move easily. So Bai Ze went with Zhao Wuyang. ”
Cheng Qingxuan looked at the splendid cuckoo behind her and lost her mind, and did not answer for a while.
Ruoyun was silent for a long time, and seeing that he still didn't mean to speak, he simply turned around and said, "Lord Wang, I think I'm also fine, so ......"
She was stunned, only to see Cheng Qingxuan wearing a plain white shirt hanging down to the ground, her long silk-like hair was gently brushed in the cool breeze, although her face was plain, but it was dull and pale and pale, more haggard than the one she met on the palace trail, the pair of eyes that had been cold or flickered were looking at her, as if the years had passed in a hurry, just as he was as happy as he saw her in the back mountain, mixed with her inexplicable emotions - emotions that he had never had when he spoke softly to her.
Ruoyun was stunned to accept such a gaze, and immediately blurted out: "Lord Wang, are you sick?" ”
Cheng Qingxuan shook his head gently, but he still didn't squint.
Ruoyun had to hang her head to avoid it, and when she saw the two steps between her and him, she couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Lord Wang, life is impermanent, you and I have become what we are now." I think that after all, I can only be 'Su Ruoyun', and the prince is the faith of the lord and subjects of the Su Jiangshan. ”
"Did you know that I almost couldn't get you back this time?" Cheng Qingxuan suddenly spoke, talking about her serious illness, and took a step towards her after speaking.
Ruoyun looked up in surprise, but saw that his face was painful, and his eyes unabashedly revealed the anxiety and uneasiness of the past, and she could only shake her head quickly under such gaze, not daring to say half a lie.
"Do you know how difficult it has been for me to be in a coma for half a month? You have a high fever that doesn't go away, and you have exhausted dozens of prescriptions and don't get better, how frightened am I? He raised his voice and asked again.
Ruoyun swallowed her saliva, looked at him in disbelief, and even forgot to shake her head: what he is good at is to restrain his emotions and hide them without revealing them, even if she apologizes, he can smile indifferently, such obvious emotions are written on his face, they are almost comparable to Yu Baize, isn't he really sick?
Cheng Qingxuan saw that she didn't answer, but didn't ask again, but said to her calmly: "I saved you back this time, and I don't plan to let go." ”
"Lord, I ......" Ruoyun didn't know whether to nod or shake her head for a while, she only felt that Cheng Qingxuan in front of her had an unprecedented sense of oppression, not only guessed what she wanted to say, but also clearly told her that his life was saved by him.
"This Penglai Pavilion is located in the mountains to the most beautiful place, very conducive to recovery, not to lock you up, but to be afraid that you will be seriously ill when there is a mistake to set up a mechanism, if you like it, you can walk around in Longhua Villa at will, there will be someone to follow, there will be no mistakes." He comforted her, and said it to her as if to himself, with sincerity and without reservation.
Ruoyun frowned, since he said so, she put aside the matter of returning to Beijing for the time being, and now his wrong face is the most worrying: "Lord Wang, are you really sick?" As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his hand to probe his forehead and see if he was burned out to say so much nonsense.
Cheng Qingxuan grabbed her hand in the air, suddenly took that step and clasped her tightly in his arms, bowed his head and said, "You are finally awake, you are finally awake......
As soon as Ruoyun fell into this embrace, she touched the warmth she had in her dream, and she realized that she had been held by him more than once in her illness.
She began to believe that she had been very sick and dangerous, and that it seemed that the person who had brought her back was close at hand, and that perseverance made her always walk towards one place......
She raised her head slightly, and subconsciously raised her hand to hug him, confirming the temperature of her arms in disbelief.
"In the future, if someone is unfavorable to you, don't hide it from me." He smiled lightly and whispered, for fear that something else he didn't know would delay her condition.
Ruoyun nodded, secretly sighing that he knew all the rights and wrongs he encountered in the palace, and he took his own step like this, and there was really no way for her to retreat.
She obviously made up her mind to return to Beijing as Su Ruoyun to live alone, why was she completely messed up by him with just a few words?
On the second day, sure enough, those organs were removed, but even so, without the orders of the lord, no one dared to come to Penglai Pavilion to spy on nothing.
Cheng Qingxuan always came at night, quietly waited for her to fall asleep after taking medicine, and then quietly left, which seemed to be several times busier than when she was in the capital.
Ruoyun saw the severity of his orders in the midst of boredom, and also sighed that this isolated Longhua Villa actually operated like a country in China, and the news of Fusu and Tianyi would come, but the servants here only listened to the orders of the lord and several patriarchs, and were not swayed by the news of any country.
The fog disperses at noon, from this Penglai Pavilion overlooks, you can see the light and picturesque Rumo distant mountain, Ruoyun is sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and playing the piano, only to listen to the bead curtain at first glance.
"Imperial sister-in-law." Rong Yuyun came in a pink dress, lifted the bead curtain and called her to salute, and there seemed to be a confused and cold look on her timid face.
"Sit." Ruoyun didn't stop in his hand, but he still slowly plucked the strings.
Rong Yuyun shyly poured tea for her and handed it to her: "Imperial sister-in-law, you are recovering from a serious illness, Yuyun should have come to visit ...... earlier"
"I'm afraid that the princess bracelet is lost, and I'm in a hurry to find it, so I naturally can't take care of me." Ruoyun didn't look at her, but glanced at the teacup in her hand, and smiled, "Princess, did you say so?" ”
Rong Yuyun's face changed greatly, and the hand holding the cup began to tremble.
"I thought that the princess gave me poisonous tea, so I was so nervous." Ruoyun gently pressed the string and said.
"Smack", the teacup in Rong Yuyun's hand rolled to the table, and the spilled tea was no longer ordinary yellow-green, but blood-red.
"Princess, don't panic, the tables and chairs here have been coated with anti-poison powder, and they will naturally react when they encounter poison." Ruoyun stopped the piano this time, raised her eyes to look straight at Rong Yuyun's pale face, and smiled slightly, "Why should the princess hide it between her fingers, why don't you hide it in the hairpin if she is smarter?"
