Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lost and Favored
Chapter Eighty-Nine: Lost and Favored
In Yujing's memory, someone once said that taste the eight-flavor soup to know the taste of the world, the eight-flavor soup, the eater, taste its taste, sweet and bitter, sour and salty, fragrant and hemp, astringent and spicy, only those who eat its taste know the following, it is said that people who have eaten eight-flavor soup, I am afraid that they will never encounter this taste again in the future, no matter what taste you eat, in the future, even if it is exactly the same thing, it is difficult to find.
"This is the only sweetness in the eight-flavor soup, the more bitter it is, the more bitter it is, the more sweet it is, is this sweet taste as they say, even if you taste all the bitterness in the world, it will be difficult to be sweet again?" Yujing muttered to herself while drinking the soup, Qianyu was half-aware of her words, and she was confused.
Mu Changfeng kept frowning when he drank the soup, and he wondered, was he the only one who felt that this eight-flavor soup was bitter? It's obviously bitter and hard to swallow, why do they say it's sweet? He took small sips of the soup in the bowl, and the bowls of Qianyu and Yan Feng were bottomed out, and he still had more than half a bowl.
The night outside was dark and the wind was high, and suddenly some noise gradually came in the quiet palace, and there were more palace lights, Yujing was shocked to realize that the hour was not early, and he had to leave, this Shui Weixuan was not a place he could stay in after all.
"You take care of the two princes, now that the queen is not here, don't make any mistakes, and don't leave things in the palace behind, otherwise it will be difficult for the queen to come back."
Yujing pulled Qianyu to walk in the corridor, she tidied up the cloak on her body while instructing the palace ladies of Shui Weixuan, as soon as several palace ladies heard that their mothers would come back, they all put away the tears on their faces, and nodded happily, as the queen's mother, they don't need Yujing to say, they will also try their best to protect Yan Feng.
Yan Feng sent Yujing and Qianyu to the door, the two children had a very good relationship, and they were reluctant to let go of their little hands, Yujing felt very relieved, she gave Yan Feng a promise, and every time he brought a thousand words back to Weixuan in the future, Yan Feng reluctantly let go of his hand, you know, this is his only sister!
If she didn't go back before the end of the dinner, Gongsun Yuting would definitely know that she came to Shui Weixuan, because he said that he would look for himself tonight, Yujing pulled Qianyu and hurriedly walked on the snow, Yujing held the lamp in one hand and Qianyu in the other, the ground was slippery, and the two walked a little slowly.
Shui Weixuan's location in the palace was already remote, the night outside was hazy, the moonlight was faint, Yujing was not familiar with Shui Weixuan's surroundings, the two of them got lost under the moonlight, Qianyu didn't know that they had lost their way, they only knew that they were following Yujing, seeing that the road was getting more and more deviated, Yujing was a little scared, and kept telling herself not to panic in her heart, but she still couldn't help trembling her hands and feet, she was just a seventeen-year-old daughter's family, how could she not be afraid in this snowy land where no one was around?
Yujing didn't know where the two of them went, she had been approaching those places with lights, but she always felt that she was getting farther and farther away from them, Yujing was a little tired, gasping and stopped, she didn't know what this place was, she didn't dare to speak out, how many people in this harem were already angry with themselves, and they didn't know, if they let others be alone at this time, there would be people with bad intentions, and no one knew what they would do to themselves, but she was worried that it would affect Qianyu.
After resting for a while, the two continued to hurry, Yujing never knew that this palace was so big, it had turned around so much, and he still hadn't met anyone, there were still many lights and noises around just now, and now the sound around was gone, and the lights were gradually decreasing, Yujing became more and more afraid, and his heart was pounding.
"Plop ......" Qianyu, who was walking beside Yujing, was stopped by something, fell, and the whole person lay on the snow, Yujing hurriedly squatted down to check, the moonlight was too light, she approached Qianyu with the palace lamp in her hand, Qianyu supported the ground with both hands, and was about to get up, but there seemed to be something beside her, Yujing took a closer look at it through the faint light, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
It was a female corpse, although it was covered with a little snowflake, but it could be seen that it was a young Gong E, who looked too closely just now, that person Gong E's eyes seemed to be staring at her, the corners of her mouth were still dry, and her face was dark.
Yujing was so frightened that the palace lamp in her hand was thrown out, and the palace lamp happened to fall next to the face of the female corpse, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, Qianyu just got up at this time, and when she turned around, she saw the female corpse, she was so frightened that she leaned on Yujing, Yujing hurriedly hugged her, covering her eyes and not letting her look.
"Don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid, princess, I'm here" Yujing's trembling voice comforted Qianyu, she was already stiff with fright, but she still had the courage to protect Qianyu.
Qianyu just glanced at it, and that face was already imprinted in her mind, and she remembered that this Gong'e had seen it during the day, and it was one of the people who poisoned Fuyu, but what about the other person?
The cold wind was howling, and the sky began to flutter with snowflakes again, Yujing hugged Qianyu and shivered, her breathing was short, she felt that her vision was gradually blurred, and she was almost unable to see the things around her, she shook her head hard, stood up staggeringly, and pulled Qianyu to leave here, but as soon as she stood up, the whole person slowly fell, and Qianyu watched Yujing fall in front of her but couldn't do anything.
Yujing woke up lying on the warm bed, just opened his eyes and didn't see where he was, so he was in a hurry to find Qianyu, but Gong'e, who took care of her, didn't let her get out of bed, until she heard footsteps outside, and those Gong'e all went out in a panic, Yujing raised his head and looked at the comer, only to see Gongsun Yuting in light clothes standing behind the curtain, he was looking at himself, knowing that it was Gongsun Yuting, Yujing hurriedly got up from the bed, and was about to get out of bed but was grabbed by a strong arm.
"Are you feeling better?" Gongsun Yuting pressed Yujing back to the bed with one hand, looking at her with a concerned face, gentle and majestic, if it weren't for worrying about Qianyu in his heart, Yujing was afraid that he would fall into his trap.
Yujing: Back to the king, I'm fine, it's okay,
Yujing was absent-minded, her eyes were always looking out of the curtain, and Gongsun Yuting could see that she was looking for the child.
Gongsun Yuting: That kid is fine, I've already asked people to lead him down, I'm afraid I'm asleep at this time.
Yujing: Did he sleep? Did I sleep for a long time?
Yujing asked a little embarrassedly, arranging his hair with his hands at a loss, and his head was lowered to his chest.
Gongsun Yuting: Soon, this king has just finished processing some official documents, so it's only a few hours!
Gongsun Yuting's faint tone made people care very much, no matter how they sounded, it didn't look like they didn't mind Yujing sleeping for so long, hearing him say this, Yujing's little face became even redder, and he could barely see his face with his head lowered.
Yujing: Did that kid come to me?
Gongsun Yuting: Yes, I didn't let him in and disturb you.
Yujing: If you don't fight, it doesn't matter at all, he's very quiet, and he won't disturb me at all......
Gongsun Yuting: You seem to care about that kid very much!
Gongsun Yuting's tone changed suddenly, his face was condensed, and there was a little more scruple in his eyes.
Yujing: No...... It's just that I feel that the child is very pitiful, staying alone in a strange place at such a young age, and seeing him is like seeing myself.
Yujing knew that he cared too much about Qianyu and made Gongsun Yuting a little jealous of him, because he recognized Qianyu as Mu Changfeng, so he immediately explained it to him.
Gongsun Yuting: Huh?
Yujing: I didn't have parents since I was a child, and I also left Chu with my brother when I was young, and I spent many years in a foreign land, so I ......
Gongsun Yuting: Yu'er still has an older brother? Why haven't you heard Yu'er talk about it?
Yujing: You didn't ask me, Your Majesty.
Gongsun Yuting: Yu'er is now by the king's side, and there is no need to live those days of wandering, and she must forget all those earthly things that have been wandering around.
Gongsun Yuting put his arms around Yujing and whispered in her ear, his fingers lightly tapping her forehead.
Yujing: Yes, Yu'er will definitely forget.
Yujing's whole person was buried in Gongsun Yuting's broad chest, snuggling up to him, leaning on his chest with a small face, listening to his heartbeat, Gongsun Yuting's hand wandered restlessly in the quilt, little by little towards Yujing's delicate body, Yujing seemed to expect him to make a move tonight, her eyes flashed with a charming and uneasy brilliance, and she closed her eyes tightly before Gongsun Yuting's palm invaded her own territory.
Gongsun Yuting has been waiting for this moment, when this moment finally came, he was a little impatient, with a wave of his palm extinguished all the palace lights in the room, he fiercely took Yujing's pink lips, hugged her and rolled into the quilt, his palm roamed around her, all her clothes were untied by him, unceremoniously thrown out of the curtain, domineering Yujing under him, he attacked her field savagely and gently, and ate Yujing in less than a while.
Early in the morning, the cold is very heavy, the winter sun is shining, the scenery outside is unique, Yujing was woken up by a noise outside, and endured the soreness all over her body, she sat up, just sat up, the palace E outside came in, a row of palace women handed over clothes, which made Yujing very embarrassed, she had never been used to being served by others, and she put on her clothes by herself.
"Did the kid get up last night?" Yujing, who was dressed, sat in front of the dresser, his eyes inadvertently aimed at a few palace ladies who were cleaning up the bed, only to see that they were all blushing with a face, Yujing saw the red on the embroidered sheets, his cheeks were also red, the hand that combed his hair stopped in mid-air, and his eyes darkened.
"Hui Yu Beauty, the child is up and is in the back yard"
A palace lady came forward to help Yujing make up, but Yujing refused, she still didn't worry about Qianyu, she gave medicine to her wound yesterday, and it was time to change the dressing today, but it was not okay to change others, Yujing put on a cloak and went to the backyard by herself.
