Chapter 241: One Step Late

"County Lord?!" Ruoyun was terrified, and slapped the water a few times, only to find that she stood at the bottom of the pool, standing upright, leaving only her shoulders outside, and the pool water hidden by the branches was warm, like a hot spring.

Cheng Qingwen smiled on her lips, but she snorted at her and sneered: "You look like this, it's better to recuperate for a few days and see you again, otherwise the road is far away, and I'm afraid you will die if you don't see it." ”

"Qingxuan is in Fusu?" Ruoyun subconsciously asked, with a little relief, she asked with some palpitations, "Is it safe?" ”

"Is that still fake?!" Cheng Qingwen frowned coldly, as if she didn't want to pay attention to her dirty, kicked her skirt and turned around and left.

She looked at her back in a daze for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around at the maids who were standing by the pool, or holding a change of clothes, or standing respectfully on standby, and couldn't laugh or cry. The first time he beat her into the water, the second time he pushed her down the well, the third time he tricked her into bathing in the hot spring and showed disgust, did he want to change his tricks the fourth time?

Ruoyun sighed at Cheng Qingwen's actions, and the back of her broken hand was also stinging with blisters, and then slowly took off her clothes and threw them ashore, carefully removing the hairpin but not wanting to leave her hand, always holding it in her hand.

She calmed down a little, and there was sour pain in her heart, two guards died in a blink of an eye, Cheng Qingsu in Bai Ze's mouth was unconscious, and the initiator of all this was her blood relative, which made her feel full of sins and couldn't let go, but let her be ruthless and hostile to her father, but she couldn't do it.

Her current situation, I am afraid that Cheng Qingxuan's eyes that often look at the distant future have never seen it, and she is walking on the road with obsession at the moment. I had to endure all the bitterness and fear, looking forward to the way forward.

Don't think about it when it's cold, don't return late.

Red maple. It's cold, although she broke her promise and returned late, can she still miss it at this time?

Ruoyun curled up in the water, unresistingly letting thoughts and past events occupy the heart, gradually unable to distinguish whether the water is warm or cold, the body is cold or hot, and sour or astringent. The pain is intertwined with the warmth of the heart, and the little bits and pieces are like water.

She took a bath, changed clothes, drank tea and ate in a daze. Allowing people to medicate and bandage their hands, gradually sweeping away the previous fatigue and tension, the hinterland of this mountain villa is as safe as far away from the hustle and bustle, and no matter who or everything slows down as if they are infected.

Ruoyun took a short nap before waking up in the quiet and warm other residence. Look at the person who picks up the lantern and waits. She obediently bowed her head and asked the maid to wrap a thick cloak on her thin clothes, and the sweet fragrance on her clothes was strong, but at this time, her mood was empty in repeated entanglements, and finally peaceful, she sank into her thoughts wholeheartedly, and did not raise the slightest objection.

She looked at the maid leading the way in front of her, carrying a glass lamp, always keeping a certain distance from her, and walking in a winding way under the eaves, because of the heavy thoughts, her eyes were full of darkness like a fallen shadow, and it was no longer the glass lamp that was dangling in front of her. Rather, it was the deep eyes that had looked at himself calmly and through the prosperity of the world.

The sound of the door closing behind him was followed by the footsteps of the waiter hurrying away. It was particularly piercing in the silent darkness.

Ruoyun opened her eyes, stood indoors indoors, stunned for a long time before she found that the cold was coming through the thick cloak, it was pitch black in front of her eyes and behind her, only the far side was faintly bright, and she couldn't help but say: "Palm lamp." ”

No one answered, and even the tip of the needle could be heard when the needle tip landed.

She called several times in a row without reply, her mind was still in a chaotic and empty situation, so she instinctively looked for the only light in the room, slowly bypassed the screen-like block, and saw a courtyard appear behind the bamboo curtain.

If Yun stepped forward to open the curtain, the cold air will come to the face, the climate of Longhua Villa is unpredictable, the courtyard of this side has not melted at the beginning of the snow, the green pine hanging branches around, the cliff cypress stands upright, the bright moon swayed into the courtyard through the low branches, and the red maple leaves are embedded in the snow, which is particularly eye-catching on the silver white.

She looked at the frozen pond for a while, and suddenly sneezed coldly, then she shook her head, sobered up a little, and hurriedly dropped the bead curtain and retreated indoors, secretly saying that Cheng Qingwen would let herself eat and drink first, and it would be too much trouble to freeze herself to death.

She was about to look for the lamp first, before she turned around and took a step when she bumped into the couch facing the courtyard, and sat down on it, and hurriedly reached out to support herself, but accidentally pressed on one hand.

Ruoyun was a little frightened, and she wasn't sure if it was a real hand, and she felt as cold to the touch as if she was pressing on the snow, so she couldn't help leaning over, squinting her eyes, and looking forward at the moonlight that was faintly penetrating.

I saw a person lying quietly on the couch, closing his eyes and eyebrows, silent.

She shuddered as if she had been struck by something, and the ghost leaned forward again, trying to identify the person in front of her, only to see that he was not wearing a thick coat, but only loosely wrapped in a thin coat, lying on his back coldly, without any reaction to her arrival.

Ruoyun couldn't see it really in the dark, she only instinctively looked familiar, reached over tremblingly, her fingers slid down the bridge of her eyebrows, eyes and nose, and it was lifeless and cold when she touched her lips, even so, the clarity of her facial features and the soft curvature of her face and the smoothness of her tentacles were familiar, but lifeless.

Ruoyun immediately recognized Cheng Qingxuan, gasped for cold air, her brain was "buzzing", she held the hand she had just pressed, and a faint fragrance mixed with the smell of medicine and a little rust penetrated into her nose, and the fingers that touched his lips were extremely reluctant to lift up, probing towards her nose, and then breathing stagnant as if time had stood still.

She panicked, and poked her fingertips back and forth, trying to prove that Fang Cai was nothing more than an illusion.

And yet there is no gas, no gas at all!

The hand in her hand shook slightly in front of her because of her trembling, and her heart was like a feeling of five thunders, Ruoyun held the hand that couldn't feel the temperature at all, and suddenly the six gods had no master, and after the trance spirit woke up, it seemed to turn into boundless darkness and pain, and the wisps of it penetrated into her heart, making her tremble.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you scaring me? Her lips trembled and she whispered, blindly touching the back of his hand with her lips, hoping that this would make him warm up a little and even wake up.

Unfortunately, it backfired, no matter how much she rubbed his cheeks, rubbed his hands back and forth, and even untied his cloak and wrapped him. None of them made him warmer, and they didn't even make his disappearing breath come back for half a minute.

Cheng Qingwen asked people to bring her here, and she would never fool her. The road is far away, but is it the road to death?

Once the bad thoughts exploded in his heart, he immediately invaded his limbs and spread all over his head, and the uselessness in his hands was more chilling than the cold wind in the room, Ruoyun gradually stopped moving, put down his hand in a daze, and stared at him in the dark for a while. I couldn't help but lean over and hug him, closed my eyes, and the warm tears slipped down in large pieces.

"Something happened to you. Will lie here? Why didn't Baize say it? Isn't it that I'm coming back late, and you're angry? Ruoyun muttered with a sobbing voice, and finally asked loudly, "Why did I come back?" I finally came back. You're like that?! ”

But let her see him like this—lying here alone and cold.

The thick cloak wrapped in him was grabbed vigorously, and the pain spread little by little, even all over the body, and the pain and suffocation almost tore her apart, enveloping her and infecting her mind, making her silent tears gradually turn into wailing.

When Cheng Qingxuan signaled her to return to Beijing, she felt that it was wrong, and she always felt that it was not as simple as her wish, she only thought of it on the way back, but she only doubted it but did not think about the reason at all. I didn't know that a farewell would be a farewell.

She sniffed the faint fragrance and medicinal smell on his body, and cried and was a little dazed. He struggled to look up at his face with his eyes closed, and buried his face even more sadly.

She only got rid of distracting thoughts and did things wholeheartedly, thinking that she could keep the safety of the people around her by taking steps and being cautious, and she didn't calculate that she would be so late for a few days, let alone that she would see such a scene just a few days later.

If she had known, she would never have left here, and she would never have chosen to take on her self-righteous responsibilities and go to Rong Yixuan's army, at least she would have rushed back to see him alive!

She cried and gradually became hoarse, her eyes were hazy with tears, her consciousness seemed to leave her shell, her sense of touch and hearing became numb and dull, and she only tried her best to press her cheek against his, desperately closing her eyes.

If it weren't for Gu Yinzhao's leakage, she would have been handed over to Rong Jinhuan right now, under strict surveillance and protection, and she wouldn't have been able to return here at all if there was a slight deviation. Cheng Qingxuan has always been like this, she chooses and goes by herself, even in the face of doubts, she has never interfered with it, but the bits and pieces arranged are all extended to her safety.

Cheng Qingxuan should have counted the days and felt that it was wrong, so he told her that she should not return late, just as she left the letter and let her choose by herself, quietly hid all her emotions, and then let her be under the wings of several people almost unaware, and face the approach of the high priest alone.

Ruoyun thought about it, reached out and grabbed his collar, and Fang's eased mood collapsed again.

No, if she had known, maybe it would have been like this.

Huai Xuanmo followed Rong Jinhuan's meaning, and unabashedly put so many holy decrees for her to show instead of destroying, she thought that Rong Jinhuan was using her to surrender, but unexpectedly it was his Cheng Qingxuan's acquiescence, just like when Bai Ze was asked to deliver the box, she always had to face what her father did, always had to face the confrontation between him and her father, and even cannibalism, he wanted her to make a clear choice, so that she at least didn't regret it too much.

At the beginning, Cheng Qingxuan did not explain much to the letter, but presented the letter to let her think about it and see it clearly, she only looked at right and wrong but never thought about the fact that her father was still alive, and never thought that she would have to stand at the intersection of blood relatives and feelings in the end.

He knew that she would have to face this choice sooner or later, so he once thought that she gave up on him and entered the palace was the safest way, not only he thought, but the rest of the people also thought so, and now she looked back and felt that this path was very good—but it was not the one she wanted to take.

He also left her a way she could walk, he asked the guards to follow, if she could really abandon everything and return to the villa, he would provide her with convenience as much as possible, even if the guards failed, Xia Zhuyue remained, Xia Zhuyue failed and Bai Ze was on standby, and Cheng Qingwen responded, but it was precisely because of this that she was heartbroken, and she couldn't accept the reality of missing out at all!

If he left so silently, why did she come back here?!

"You're awake, are you okay when you're awake? At least tell me what the hell is going on...... I've stood here, I'm here. If you wake up, I promise that I won't leave half a step in the future, never run away from drinking medicine again, and never scratch your hair again, okay? Ruoyun gradually stopped her tears, spoke intermittently, and fell on his lifeless heart, shrinking into a ball of pain.

She was full of pain and couldn't help herself, snorting in her head, the tearing pain in her heart gradually ate away at her body and mind, and all she saw was a vivid smile when she closed her eyes, and gradually couldn't tell what was real and what was the phantom after severe pain, until the touch around her body was also lost. (To be continued......)
