Chapter 167: Ice Release Suspicion
She was startled and turned around, only to see Cheng Qingsu staring at her with a cold face, wearing a blue satin sleeved robe embroidered with cloud patterns that she had never seen before, her hair was still meticulously tied, but she only coiled a green Luo bun fixed with a sandalwood hairpin, holding an umbrella in her hand, standing in the pouring rain.
Ruoyun looked at him dressed like this, and suddenly felt that the two brothers were also similar in shape and temperament, and she said in a gloomy voice: "This has nothing to do with conscience, leave aside right and wrong and right and wrong, only talk about the mind." ”
After she finished speaking, she turned her face away, she understood that Cheng Qingsu had always been jealous of her, but now even she felt that she should be, if she knew that Qingxuan was taking such a medicine because of her, he, as a brother, would definitely want to kill her.
"Oh?" Cheng Qingsu snorted coldly, changed his clothes but did not change his temper, still with a cold face behind his back, frowning and looking at her again and again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's best if it doesn't matter, I hope you really have a heart at this moment." ”
Ruoyun was slightly surprised, I don't know why he said this, but he knew that the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch were behind, and he didn't know how long he had been paying attention to her.
He suddenly tightened his eyebrows, sighed heavily, and thought for a long time as if he was thinking about something, and when he saw that she was puzzled, he suddenly handed her the umbrella in his hand, and he stood in the pavilion, folding his sleeves and standing upright.
Ruoyun looked at the umbrella in her hand blankly, and then looked at Cheng Qingsu's cold and solemn expression, and became even more puzzled.
"Ahead of the fork, turn right is Penglai Pavilion." Cheng Qingsu said without squinting.
"Thank you, Lord Cheng." Ruoyun nodded, turned around and left.
Cheng Qingsu's voice sounded again: "He told me that Tianyi is over." Whatever the outcome, he will resign from the throne. ”
Ruoyun's back stiffened, and she looked back at him in disbelief.
But Cheng Qingsu still stood with a straight face. As if what Fang just said was as inconsequential as talking about daily affairs, seeing her holding an umbrella in a daze, she said again: "I'm passing by, it's better to ask the secret guard for help in time next time." ”
Ruoyun didn't delay any longer, and then saluted again and walked along the road he said with an umbrella, Cheng Qingsu excused himself to pass by and chatted a few words, but there was only one way out of this pavilion. He won't show up unless he comes on purpose.
The rain was splashing, and she felt some warm liquid running down her cheeks along the rain, and at the end of the dimly lit road was the shore of Penglai Pavilion Lake.
She was suddenly very scared to see Cheng Qingxuan. I was afraid to see his tired face because of this prescription, and I was afraid that I would be embarrassed and embarrassed at the moment I faced it.
But even so, Ruoyun rushed to the Jiuqu Corridor Bridge for the first time, and the rain fell down the eaves one by one. The tranquil waters of the lake ripple through. The lotus leaves in the rain kept swaying.
She saw him standing tall in the doorway, his jade-like face shrouded in a glimmer of light, and the rain curtain rose up to cover his silver-glittering robes.
"Why do you want to use that prescription?! Something else, can't it? Ruoyun stood still on the covered bridge a few steps away from him and shouted.
He wanted to step forward but was stopped by her painful look, and suddenly said, "Since you know, you should take the medicine on time." Otherwise, I'll miss the hour, and I'll have to get another pair. ”
Touching his distant gaze. Her hands holding the handle of the umbrella trembled slightly, "So, you're in a new tune?" She looked at the medicine bowl on the table behind him and took a sharp step back, "You answer me, why don't you use anything else?" Or something else? ”
"The Fusu royal family has a lifespan of more than 100 years and a clear physique, and blood is the best medicine. This prescription is the best secret recipe to protect the heart and calm the nerves. Cheng Qingxuan suddenly straightened up, said without reservation, sighed slightly, and added in a low voice, "I don't want to fake others about your business." ”
"So, you told me to drink it when I was in the palace......" Ruoyun looked at his smiling expression in the rain, and felt a pain to the bone every time he breathed, but he still gritted his teeth and said slowly: "You tell me, the person I saw in the palace that day, is it you or a dream?!" ”
"You beg me to save Rong Jinhuan's country." Cheng Qingxuan replied with a little bitterness.
"The letter?" Ruoyun bit her lip and was already choked.
"When Chiyan delivered the letter and didn't leave Beijing, he met me." Cheng Qingxuan replied calmly.
"What about the formation outside the Golden Palace?" Ruoyun reluctantly stood and spoke hoarsely.
"It's a pity that after the break, there was a fire in southern Xinjiang, and I had to stay again." Cheng Qingxuan sighed, as if he had regret.
Ruoyun's hand holding the umbrella suddenly let go, and she watched with tears in her eyes as the white umbrella was blown down into the lake by the wind, and she felt that her doubts and hesitations had been quietly annihilated like rain before they had risen and fallen in the lake.
She raised her hand and followed the crystal clear raindrops, and had an epiphany that this was the "rootless water" that Cheng Qingxuan once said, and suddenly asked: "You came here to get water, are you using it to make pills?" It works so fast, it's a forbidden technique, right? ”
She pulled out an extremely ugly smile at him, and couldn't help but feel sad when she saw him close his eyes in acquiescence.
This time he did not answer, but walked two slow steps into the rain, and stood with her in the heavy rain, staring intently.
Ruoyun listened to the thunderous roar and suddenly laughed. From the beginning, she thought wrongly, she thought that everything was over, so no matter what, she felt that she was a person, thinking that it was okay for him to be angry and go to Jiangnan to avoid it, she couldn't see his hesitation and struggle, she only thought that she had gone to a place where he couldn't see and didn't want to see her.
She apologized to him, but he only smiled happily, it turned out that compared to her discouragement and refusal to look at it again, the momentary misunderstanding was insignificant, and he was indifferent, and he would never be obsessed with such things.
"Let's go in and don't catch a cold." He saw that she had stood still for a long time, so he reminded her.
"I am the emperor's concubine." She spoke in a deep voice, and finally asked the key, Rong Yuyun's cone cry was still in her ears, "It's not worth standing here." ”
Cheng Qingxuan frowned when she heard this, and looked at her Although she mustered up the courage to speak, her expression was cautious and gloomy, and she couldn't help but sigh, and said gently: "Rong Jinhuan personally abolished you, and you are not a concubine." ”
"Even if not, I'll put you to shame." Ruoyun said decisively, she knew that even if she had no skin-to-skin relationship with Rong Jinhuan, the rumors were enough to embarrass him, not to mention the rumors that there was a dispute in the palace that day.
Cheng Qingxuan shook his head slowly, stared at her pale face, and said calmly and softly: "You are here, why am I afraid of others?" ”
Ruoyun bit her lip fiercely, listened to him word by word, and every word she said was like a sharp knife scraping her bones, which made her extremely painful and relieved, and said softly with tears in her eyes: "I knew this was the case, why should I bother......
"I have agreed with my eldest brother that as soon as the matter of Tianyi is over, I will take you back to Fusu and hand over the position of the lord, so you don't need to worry." He said, smiling intently.
"What Cheng Qingsu said turned out to be true...... Ruoyun closed his eyes, let the tears flow, and asked the last question, "Can you have a conflict with the emperor?" ”
Cheng Qingxuan shook his head, and said in an affirmative tone: "Rong Jinhuan will not come hard, I am very sure of this." ”
Ruoyun subconsciously raised her eyes, saw him standing firmly, and was surprised to find that he also had that natural spirit, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Let's go inside." Cheng Qingxuan stretched out his hand and pulled her over, persuading.
Ruoyun was unmoved, but raised her hand to untie her soaked coat and threw it away, and pulled out the hairpin to let the green silk fall, her eyes flashed, and she said to him seriously: "I am alone, I have no strength, everything in the past is completely stripped, even if I can only accompany you for more than ten years, like this, will you regret it?" ”
He raised his eyes calmly, smiled elegantly, reached out to touch her cheeks, and his slender fingers gently wiped away the tears that slipped from the corners of his lips for her, and said, "No regrets." ”
Ruoyun was instantly relieved, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, then I won't drink that medicine again." ”
Cheng Qingxuan's face sank, as if he was unwilling to agree.
"Although I am afraid of bitterness and medicine, even if I drink a dozen pairs a day, I will not be able to recuperate, and I will not drink this secret recipe that has immediate results and harms others and benefits myself." She grabbed his hand and begged, "I have my attachments too. ”
Cheng Qingxuan seemed to think about it for a while before he sighed and nodded: "Okay." ”
Ruoyun looked at him and smiled, her long eyelashes cast shadows, the rain dripped down his condensed hair, and a simple word "good" was low and clear in the rumbling thunder, she turned from laughing to crying, and couldn't help but step forward and hug his neck tightly.
Perhaps after waiting for this step for too long, Cheng Qingxuan hesitated slightly, raised his hand slightly and gently covered her soaked hair, and only after a long time hugged her, turned around to the eaves, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm very worried that you will make other requests." ”
"What?" Ruoyun raised her head and looked at him inexplicably.
"I'm afraid that you will say that you want to go back to the palace again, and I can't bear to refuse." He let go of her, pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom, and unfolded it, the ink on it already mottled and unwritten.
She looked at the few unblurred words, and was stunned for a moment: this was the poem she had hidden in the middle of the Nine Palaces, the one she had written two lines in the palace.
"The cherry blossoms are deep in the shadow of the ink flower, and the green silk is dyed with mortal dust around the fingers. The smoke of the palace merchant Hongfeng was drunk, and he forgot to enter the mansion. Although Cheng Qingxuan didn't look at the page, he read it out loud.
"You ......," rudden.
"A song is chaotic, and the heart is lovesick. The authorities did not understand the meaning, and the court sang a sad song for this life. He finished slowly, looking at her deeply.
"Stop reading!" Ruoyun turned her back and left, extremely annoyed, regretting how she casually wrote this poem as an example of a nine-palace anagram.
"Fortunately, you don't plan to 'sing a sad song for this life' now." Cheng Qingxuan laughed to himself, his hands coldly wrapped around her back to her front waist and hugged her, and said, "It's just that you don't know another layer of Kunlun Qu." ”
"Huh?" She was trying to find a crack in the ground to get into, but she couldn't answer such a question.
"Didn't you like that piece so you learned it?" He asked, looking down and leaning closer to hers. (To be continued......)
