Chapter Seventy-Five: A Safe Return
The brown liquid in her hand made her shiver even at a glance: not only was it unpleasant but it also smelled bad, and there was no bitterness of herbs at all.
In the past few days, she has been busy looking for water after drinking the medicine, and she has drunk it several times, Cheng Qingxuan said that she was afraid that poisonous insects and the like were added to fight poison with poison, and she almost turned into nausea on the spot.
What is Su Mansion too conspicuous, she can't even see Xiaohong, let alone ask the ghost girl for help.
Bai Ze has no news yet, how can he, as a compatriot, sit here so calmly? Won't go home at sunset?
But the man sitting quietly in front of him was a blind man, and he couldn't see her pleading eyes at all, so he said disapprovingly: "No." ”
The tone was as flat as water, but there was no room for bargaining.
"But I've drunk it during the day...... Can you ......" she wanted to make a final struggle.
"No, you can't."
Huai Xuanmo looked like a matter of course, which made her suddenly deflated, turned her back and looked at the medicine for a while, her heart was horizontal, and she held her breath and poured it in.
The unusually bitter and strange smell of liquid flowed down her throat, and she "snapped" down the medicine bowl and shouted, "It's so bitter!" ”
The mouth is stuffed with a piece of pastry at the right time, and the bite is soft and glutinous, and a fragrant floral fragrance fills the mouth.
Looking at it, Cheng Qingxuan didn't know when she came in with a plate, with a pink pattern of dim sum on the plate, and was looking at her with a smile.
"I'm leaving." Huai Xuanmo "watched" her finish drinking, got up directly and picked up the empty bowl and went out.
Ruoyun sat down with a bitter face, and complained: "I don't have to drink it if you come early." After saying that, he picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, so that the strange smell of medicine could dissipate as soon as possible.
Cheng Qingxuan smiled thoughtfully. Said: "If I come, I'm afraid I'll let you escape like in the afternoon." ”
Ruoyun choked with a "grunt". His face was flushed, and he swallowed and glared at the person in front of him with picturesque eyebrows. Struggling to say: "King Huai was called by you to let me drink medicine?" ”
He was noncommittal, only stretched out his hand to calm her breath, and said with a smile: "Xuanmo is busy on weekdays, and it is good to be willing to come, besides, you must be careful before the remaining poison is cleared, and you must not be careless." As he spoke, he poured a glass of water with his other hand and handed it to her.
Ruoyun took it and drank it all before she breathed a sigh of relief. Quickly glanced at him complainingly, but he couldn't blame him.
Yu Baize is willing to cooperate with him, Cheng Qingsu can listen to his words, even King Huai doesn't say a word to help, Cheng Qingxuan is far more than the second-ranked prince of Cheng Wangfu, and he speaks and does everything carefully and indifferently, which makes people incomprehensible and inaccurate, and the son of heaven on the throne is also more than afraid of him and lacks enough catches.
But he was obsessed with her, and his gestures were soft and almost doting. Laughing frequently, she saw that his eyes were already immersed in it, forgetting everything else.
Pampered and proud? Got carried away?
Indeed, there is a little bit of it.
"Does the prince really like me?" She blinked. Asked.
He was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Oh?" She couldn't help but smile and asked, "Miss Jingcheng is slim and beautiful like a flower. So many years without a childhood sweetheart? Don't have a girl who has a secret heart for you? ”
was joking, but I didn't expect Cheng Qingxuan to stare into her eyes. "You are you, just like the sweet and lovely when you first met." So radiant and pure as an orchid, it has never changed. ”
"Lord Wang, you are laughing at me. Three years as a maid, how can I still have the delicate appearance of a bachelor's daughter? She pursed her lips and gave him a strange look, obviously he himself was as beautiful as a celestial person, but he said that she was good-looking, and it was clearly a mouthful.
Her thoughts stopped for a moment, and he said that when she first saw her...... Not the gazebo of the day? Not even the previous Chang'an Avenue?
"Look, but I'm laughing at you?" She was still surprised, and he got up to get the bronze mirror and put it in front of her.
Hearing this, her heart missed half a beat, and she couldn't help biting her lip and looking into the silver mirror.
The person in the mirror is not powdered, the eyebrows are clear, the hair hangs naturally behind the head, and the mirror surface coated with silver is unusually clear:
After three years of hard work, the slightly gray complexion was gone, replaced by white cheeks, bright eyes with surprise on the beautiful face, and slightly purple pale pink lips biting gently.
After staying for a long time, she unconsciously touched her face, and the person in the mirror also stretched out her hand, she was in a trance, and suddenly realized that this was herself!
"How so?" She turned back happily and looked at Cheng Qingxuan with a smile on her face in disbelief.
The latter looked at her deeply and meaningfully, and sighed: "What Xuan Mo has in his hand is a panacea, and it is not a problem to heal the flesh and bones of the dead, let alone remove this dark skin?" As he spoke, he reached out and gently twisted her face, allowing her to look closely at the silver mirror again.
She listened to his explanation in a daze, remembering that he personally handed over the handkerchief used to wash her face in the past few days, no wonder her daily washing water was muddy after use, could it be that there was medicine on it?
If Huai Wang's precious medicine is taken to Chang'an Street, I am afraid that it can be sold for the price of a city.
And Cheng Qingxuan even thought of her regret.
Her heart was extremely soft, but she could still feel his hesitation and desire to speak, how many secrets and how many pasts were buried in his body, and could she believe that this was what she had been pursuing, whether she could believe in his true heart?
Cheng Qingxuan looked at her in a daze, slowly leaned down, touched her face with his fingers, and added, "Even if you are not very elegant and old and ugly, you are still you, just like in the past." As he spoke, he took her hand as he sank.
Her mind fluttered, and once again she couldn't think.
He looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to see her thoughts from her eyes, but sighed softly for a long time: "I know you have doubts, yes, you and I did have a few relationships many years ago, but you are weak now, when your body is better, I will give you an injection to help you remember, and you will understand." Would you like to wait? ”
When she heard this, the confusion in her heart disappeared with his whisper, and she looked into his eyes with more and more affirmation: "Naturally." ”
From leaving the country to Jingshi, he did not hesitate to take her back at the risk of the wrath of the Son of Heaven, what reason did she have to doubt him anymore?
It's a long time coming. It's never too late to find out later.
"I thought you would be happy to see that you were good-looking...... unexpectedly. Cheng Qingxuan muttered softly, and his gaze moved away slightly.
She was stunned. Then he laughed, it turned out that he would be so innocent like a child.
"Oh, it's really not interesting to hide from eating peach blossom cake and not shouting at me." A naughty and clear voice rang out.
The tall figure who was lying on the window jumped in, unceremoniously grabbed the remaining piece of pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and waved to say hello contentedly after eating.
Ruoyun stood up in a daze, and the tears in her eyes fell from the sudden scene, but the smile on her face widened little by little.
Cheng Qingxuan only cared about her, and hurriedly stretched out his sleeves to wipe for her. As if he had known it for a long time, he turned around and smiled lightly: "Bai Ze, if you don't leave the door, you have to climb the window, what about Qingsu?" ”
The person who came was Yu Baize, with a white coat with a gold belt and a gold pendant, decorating the neckline with gold threads, and the hair plugs on his head to fix his hair were also gold.
He held the pastry plate in one hand, stretched out a finger in the other hand and shook it, although his face was pale but not a little dirty, and his smile was clean and bright: "Don't ask me." As soon as I came back, I hurried back to the house to take a shower and change my clothes, and I was tortured to death. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ruoyun, who was standing stupidly: "Girl, why are you stunned?" Immediately looked at her hand held by Cheng Qingxuan. With a sudden realization, "You've found the answer, it's good, it's good." ”
"Baize! Did you collude in the first place? "A wave of ecstasy rose from the bottom of my heart and spread throughout my body. She burst out.
She originally wanted to say, "You're fine", but it was this sentence that blurted out. But looking at Bai Ze's extremely innocent appearance, she didn't regret saying it at all. Wiping away tears.
Bai Ze shrugged his shoulders, crossed his waist with an injured look, and said, "Hey, I was stabbed and didn't die, why are you so conscienceless!" ”
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered General Luo's ruthless and deep knife, and couldn't help showing concern: "Does it matter if you want it?" ”
Bai Ze smiled, swallowed the last piece of pastry before he said contentedly: "Who am I, how can there be anything?" But how could I die with such a small injury? As he spoke, he looked like he was nothing.
"Qingsu secretly sent him back to Beijing, and Xuanmo treated his injuries, but he didn't hurt his heart, and he was already fine." Cheng Qingxuan added in a timely manner.
"Hey, don't sell me again." Bai Ze glared at him with a sad face.
Ruoyun looked at him and was startled, this action was enough to make her angry, but the smile on her face was more comfortable than ever, and she was a little confused for a while to receive good news from the sky.
Bai Ze poked Cheng Qingxuan with his elbow in time, and said loudly without hesitation: "You are really right, this girl is happier to see me alive than she is to become better!" ”
Seeing Cheng Qingxuan's faint smile, Ruoyun's nose soured, and he asked Bai Ze again, "When did you return to Beijing?" ”
Bai Ze narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I came back secretly in the early hours of last morning, but I have to recuperate, I want to take a bath, and I want to repair, so I dare to go out, otherwise how could I stand here so refreshed?" Don't say it, this 'King Yu' is still on the way. ”
Ruoyun laughed in her heart, what this Bai Ze cares about most is really the appearance, and he hangs a gold chain and a gold belt when he goes out at night, fortunately he is King Yu, and he is not afraid of being robbed, half of the reputation of "King Yu's good wealth" must be this reason.
He was by no means seriously injured, his eyebrows fluttered as if he had only suffered a minor injury, but in the end, the knife was deep and ruthless, and no matter how miraculous his medical skills were, he would not be so fast.
As he spoke, Bai Ze's face was still a little pale, he was not as lively as usual, but An An found a chair to sit on, not forgetting to squeeze his eyebrows.
If you want to save face, Ruoyun can only think of this.
Counting the days, the one brought by Yu Wang only arrived in Yizhou for two or three days, and if he hadn't been seriously injured, Cheng Qingsu would not have taken the risk of sending him back to Beijing in advance.
They did this, clearly wanting the emperor to have no knowledge, and they also intended to let Rong Yixuan go, but on Yao Hua Mountain that day, would Rong Yixuan be merciful?
She thought, her smile fading a little.
As he spoke, he heard an anxious but somewhat gloating immature voice with the footsteps: "Big brother! Brother Qingsu and Brother Qinghe are quarreling again! The little boy who was white and tender like a dough screamed and pounced on Bai Ze, Bai Ze frowned, and grinned in pain. (To be continued......)
