Volume 1 The Smoke Rises Chapter 19
After combing things through myself, my heart was a little numb. I don't know what kind of situation Xia Qian is in now, although he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.
Qiaoyun boiled hot water, but I still didn't dare to take a bath, so I simply wiped my body. I like the moon-white fairy dress that I wore back from Zuishenglou that day, but it was dyed with blood, so I couldn't wear it after all. I found a similar moon-white dress, but I didn't tie my hair casually like that day, after all, the occasion was different, but asked Qiaoyun to help me pull an ingot bun.
During this time, King Li sent a lot of jewelry, but I didn't wear it, and today I still picked out a pair of orchid bud-shaped earrings from it.
After dressing up, I turned around and told Qiaoyun, "You don't have to accompany me, just stay in Fangfei Courtyard and take good care of Hongyuan." ”
I didn't plan to go straight to the front, because I didn't know where the feast would be. As soon as I arrived at the garden, I was met by a group of people. Although I hope to find Chu Yi soon, it really doesn't take much effort to get it now. However, Xia Qian, who was standing next to Chu Yi, I didn't know what attitude was facing him.
I stiffened my head and stepped forward to say hello. Chu Yi raised his hand. I got up, intending to step aside quietly. Chu Yi said: "Awake? Are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern!" I didn't know what to call myself for a while, so I had to stop there.
Before Chu Yi could speak, Xia Qian suddenly said, "King Li, I'm out of company." I have something to ask this girl. ”
As he spoke, he walked up and dragged me away without my consent. The worst thing is that he is holding my injured wrist. I gasped in pain, but I couldn't say anything.
Leaving the crowd, his pace slowed down considerably. I pushed his hand hard, "Xia Qian, it hurts to let go of me." ”
He let go of my wrist and took my hand instead. He pulled me to a pavilion and pulled a small bottle out of his sleeve. He rolled up the sleeve of my left hand slightly. I withdrew my hand, "What is this?"
"You think I'm going to hurt you?" He opened the bottle, and the smell of medicine came to his nose. He applied the medicine to my wrist, and the slight tingling sensation made me instinctively withdraw my hand. "Just bear with it." His voice softened a lot, and his tone was more like coaxing a child.
This medicine feels familiar, including this scene. I used to be a wild monkey in the palace, jumping up and down, plus occasionally coming out for Xia Qian. There are always big and small injuries on my arms, and every time I am afraid of my father's and mother's blame, every time I am smeared medicine for me.
"Third brother, my attitude the day before yesterday, I, not on purpose, I just, just."
He lowered his head to help me blow on the wound, "You don't have to explain, how could I really blame you?"
"You're not angry?" I asked in disbelief.
"Angry! I recognize you at a glance, if you don't hear the pear blossom song, where will you recognize me? Okay, that's it, after all, I haven't seen you in six years. However, I didn't expect that when you recognized me, it would be like seeing a ghost. ”
I laughed awkwardly, "I really don't know why." I may have been a turtle for a long time, I hid in Qi country, but I can't forget the incident in Yucheng, I see you, I, I don't know why I subconsciously hid. ”
Xia Qian held my hand and said, "Sister, I'm going back to Zhou tomorrow." Come back with me! Jun Mo and I will take good care of you. You are in the Qi Kingdom, and King Li seems to be helping you, but I am not at ease after all. ”
"Third brother, Chu Yi is not a bad person, it's just that our positions are different. Third brother, have you thought about it, if I return to China, what identity will I live? Shang Wan is dead, and she has become the county lord of the martyrdom. ”
Xia Qian's face was embarrassed, "I haven't thought about this yet." I'm so happy to see you're alive. ”
I rubbed my wrist, "Zhou Guo, I'll go back." After you go back, you can do it no matter what your status, even if it's a lowly person. But will you let me continue to go to war? I can't put my merchant to shame. ”
Xia Qian categorically refused, "No, now that Shang Ru's whereabouts are unknown, if you go to the battlefield and make any mistakes, how can I be worthy of my father and General Shang." ”
Xia Qian's character, I am very familiar with it, now I just talk, I don't have to touch the dragon scales. I changed the subject and said, "Third brother, is Jun Mo okay?" ”
When it came to Xia Junmo, Xia Qian's expression relieved a lot. "King Li originally buried you and General Shang, and when I ascended the throne, I sent envoys to ask for you and General Shang back."
I interrupted him, "At what cost?" ”
"King Li didn't offer any price. It's just that I promised that I would come to Jinling in person to thank Emperor Qi in half a year. ”
I lowered my eyes, full of guilt, "Third brother, I'm sorry! Let you be wronged! ”
Xia Qian reached out and touched my head, "Without you and General Shang, I'm afraid the Lord of Zhou Country wouldn't be me!" This little grievance is nothing. Besides, it's always going to be doubled back. "He doesn't know, his eyes now make me shudder a little, maybe he is really no longer the prince who needs the protection of me and Jun Mo." Well, let's not talk about that. After you and General Shang were sent back to Chang'an, Jun Mo held your coffin and cried for a few days and nights, and he stayed in front of the spirit and refused to leave. ”
I wanted to laugh but I couldn't. Xia Junmo is my cousin logically speaking, Jun Mo's mother is my cousin, I have always been good friends with Jun Mo, he is two years older than me, we all call him by his name, and we will never be called brother and sister. Unless there is something to ask the other party for. Jun Mo and Xia Qian are good friends, but it's just because of me, the middleman. "Third brother, since you know that it wasn't me who was lying there, why didn't you tell the sixth brother? Let him be so sad. ”
Xia Qian said: "I'm not sure, I'm also worried that it's just me lying to myself. If you give Jun Mo hope, I'm afraid he will come out desperately to find you. Wan'er, I haven't asked you yet, how did you end up in a place like Zuishenglou, and how did you know Chu Yi? You've had a wonderful past few months! ”
