Chapter 220: A Lonely Man and a Widow Alone in a Room
"What a joke." Rong Ruo licked his dry lips and wanted to look at each other fearlessly, but finally bowed down under the other party's cold eyes, looked at the corner of the room, and said to himself: "The prince is beautiful and fragrant, rare in the world, which I can afford, I can still see my own catties clearly." β
Rong Ruo felt the cold air of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves on the opposite side, she squinted her eyes and smirked, and then lowered her head to find her cup to drink tea calmly.
The dust has settled on Wang Ze's matter, Li Renyi's fold is a headless public case, and he was secretly pressed down by the emperor, and basically no one in the court knows about it, but in the future, the prince will have to ask the emperor to punish him, and that is also after the fact, he must be looking for other names.
yes, it's all over for the time being, isn't it okay as she wishes?
Rong Ruo lowered her eyes and looked at the tea soup shaking in the tea cup, she blew a breath, and the tea leaves in it stretched and sank, leaving only one piece that seemed to be unwilling, moving up and down in the middle, ups and downs, and never really fell.
Unwilling to ...... These three words lingered on the tip of Rong Ruo's tongue, and he wanted to blurt out several times.
Life should never be let down, but what identity does she use to ask others.
After being deceived, taken advantage of, and at the mercy of a pawn, tell her gameover and you can leave.
If you want to question loudly, why?
Why should her life be pointed at by others, why is there no explanation, and why is she oppressed by the right -
People live so undignified.
Rong Ruo's previous life added up to more than 20 years, that is, when she grew up in an orphanage, life has never been so gloomy and powerless, she never believed that fate could be dominated, she always had to work hard again, who knows what the future will be.
Later, Rong Ruo was funded with excellent grades and successfully admitted to medical school, and became the youngest and most promising surgeon......
Many times Rong Ruo thinks that she has accepted this identity, and the era when this person is divided into three, five, nine and so on, but more often, Rong Ruo feels that she is still powerless, she is like a wandering soul who walks alone after a thousand years, watching the joys, sorrows and sorrows of others, which is out of place.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, Rong Ruo knew in her heart that Mu Beichen forcibly broke into her life when she was most at a loss, and saved her from danger several times with the posture of a god, and she could no longer treat him indifferently as any other passerby.
took the initiative to detoxify Mu Beichen, in addition to the spirit of exploration of incurable diseases as a doctor, he wanted to repay his kindness in his own way, or more precisely, to repay his debts.
But this does not mean that Mu Beichen can use her without scruples, and repeatedly use her identity to cover up his ulterior motives.
Rong Ruo approached the cup and drank a sip of tea, the tea entrance was slightly astringent, bitter over the tip of the tongue, the aftertaste was sweet, and the tea fragrance between the lips and teeth was pervasive, but the cold tea was like a cold heart, and no matter how you could not taste the original taste.
Rong Ruo sneered, did Mu Beichen treat her as a fool, or did men in this era think that women are all dependencies and vases, and the biggest role is to use them as paving bricks for men to climb up, and even when needed, they can also become bargaining chips in transactions.
Rong Ruo fell into his own thoughts, Mu Beichen has always cherished words like gold, and the warm pavilion suddenly calmed down, only the smoke and incense curled, and the sound of wind and snow outside the window that could not be separated.
Lonely men and widows are alone, and anyone who thinks about it feels ambiguous, but just looking at Rong Ruo and Mu Beichen sitting opposite each other at the moment, one has a dull face, far-reaching eyebrows and eyes, and the other has a cold expression, and his black eyes are as cold as an ancient well, and he can't see the slightest charm.
The atmosphere was quiet until there was a knock on the door outside, and then a bright orange shook strongly into Rong Ruo's eyes, which made her temporarily collect her thoughts and raise her head, and what she saw was Caidie's beautiful and delicate face, as well as the natural charm of the eyebrows.
"Caidie has seen the prince," she said, tilting her head and winking at Rong Ruo quickly in a direction that Mu Beichen couldn't see, "Miss Rong is also there." β
Mu Beichen didn't look at her, only hummed in a low voice.
The sound of gurgling boiling water sounded, and Rong Ruo found that on the originally empty charcoal basin, I don't know when a pot of water was put on it, and at this moment the water was boiling, and it rolled in it and made a lot of noise.
Caidie looked left and right, the atmosphere of these two people was a little subtle, her eyes turned smartly, she turned around and took a cotton cloth pad to take off the kettle, and opened the porcelain pot on the table with her empty hand, poured the remaining cold water inside, and then poured a pot of hot water into it.
After pouring the hot water, Caidie prepared a new pot of tea, and asked Mu Beichen to raise his hand to block it halfway, so he shrugged his shoulders and retreated to the back obediently.
Rong Ruo watched Mu Beichen's slender fingers twist a few out of the tea can, hold the porcelain pot and go through the hot water into the empty quilt, and then put the tea leaves in, and then pass the water again.
The fingers are as white as jade, the finger bones are distinct, and the fingers are holding the porcelain pot with blue lines on a white background, which is as cold as jade, like a beautiful work of art, but there is no temperature, just like the feeling he himself gives people, which is chilling.
Mu Beichen lowered his eyes on the movements in his hands, and Caidie silently opened his mouth at Rong Ruo, the boss was in a bad mood?
Rong Ruo rested her elbows on the table and watched Mu Beichen pour tea and water seriously and rigorously, as if she was completing a harsh process, her bowl of half-drunk tea had been completely cooled, and she didn't want to continue drinking, so she put her fingertips and toyed with it, seeing Caidie desperately squeezing her eyebrows at her, she sighed in her heart, how did a boring person like Mu Beichen bring Caidie under his command.
Besides, what about when he looks like he is paralyzed, and I really doubt that he is still in a good mood?
"Butterflies." Fiercely, Mu Beichen called Caidie, and she was frightened that she did something wrong.
Caidie rubbed her throat to restrain her mind, and took a step out of the shadow behind, not as deliberately pretentious as usual, her voice was still the same as the murmuring in the past, with an inadvertent enchanting style, "Lord Wang, the news I received today is that Prince Chu will arrive in Beijing soon." β
Rong Ruo raised his eyebrows, Chu Feng is coming back? Then the eyebrows twisted down, Chu Feng was uninhibited, chic and dignified, just as his name should be, often wandering outside, although he led the official position like a nominal person, he didn't see anything serious, this time he left Beijing for more than a month, and no one ever cared.
Cai Die deliberately mentioned it, obviously it was not as simple as Chu Feng wandering in private.
Thinking about it carefully, the ridiculous bet that Rong Ruo and Mu Beichen became a fiancΓ© that day didn't come from Chu Feng, I didn't think it was now, but now that I think about it carefully, it is more and more worth pondering.
Mu Beichen's gesture of pouring tea was smooth, looking pleasing to the eye, and he did not pause when he heard the words, poured the tea that had passed the hot water, and re-injected the new hot water, before saying: "Let him go to Luozhou, go to an old friend for this king to get a thing, and enter Beijing a few days later." β
Caidie immediately understood Mu Beichen's intentions, they knew that the affairs in Jiangnan looked like the handiwork of Lord Wang, in fact, it was Mu Beichen who asked Chu Feng to go over to control the scene, if they returned to Beijing together, now the emperor didn't know, and they would inevitably be linked together to make trouble when the time came.
"The subordinates understand, and Lord Wang ......" Caidie said this, subconsciously stopped, and glanced at Rong Ruo with some scruples, she still didn't know the status of this Rong girl in the heart of the prince, the matter was more involved, she still looked at Mu Beichen with solicitation.
Mu Beichen picked up the re-brewed tea and took a sip slowly, his eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, the water vapor of the hot tea rushed to it, and his cheeks between his eyebrows were blurred with a layer of fog to see the flowers, and he couldn't see through his expression for a while.
"I'll go out ......"
"Say."
The two voices came out together, Rong Ruo was already half of her body, and she was really shocked when she heard the cold word explode neatly in her ears.
She looked at Mu Beichen suspiciously, could it be that she had just exposed his intentions, so she felt that it didn't matter to cover it up in front of her?
It's just that I can't see his face covered by the smell of tea no matter what, let alone distinguish his expression.
Rong Ruozhong sat down again, and flicked his fingertips to the cup in front of him, do you dare to say, I'm still afraid that I won't be able to hear it?
Caidie felt more and more that there was a strange relationship between these two people, she was happy by nature, and she didn't dare to inquire at the moment, so she only said to Mu Beichen: "Lord Wang met an assassin on the way back to Beijing, and there was no danger, and the assassin called Lord Wang's guards to take it down, and they were going to take it back to the capital for interrogation." Caidie carefully chose the words, and continued: "Fortunately, Lord Wang has made two arrangements before, he will take the Ming Road to attract attention, and the guards escorting the prisoner car will take a detour and take another road, and according to the itinerary, it will be almost there in ten days." β
Mu Beichen took the tea lid and slowly gathered the tea leaves in the cup, and when he heard this, he didn't necessarily have any mood fluctuations, so he only said lightly: "Let our people withdraw, and don't worry about the rest of the matter." β
"But ......" Caidie frowned, "It's getting closer and closer to Beijing, and I can't guarantee that King Duan and the crown prince have already gotten the news, and if they encounter trouble along the way, I'm afraid that Lord Wang's guards won't be able to solve it." β
Mu Beichen tapped his fingertips, and the tea lid fell on the cup, covering half a cup of water, "Didn't you just say that Duanwang had already gotten the news?" β
Caidie blinked her eyes in confusion, and then suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, now I hope that the prince is ......unlucky" Caidie coughed dryly, swallowed the words in time, and said with a sweet smile: "My subordinates know how to do it." β
The more stable the prince's position, the less obstacles there are to inherit the throne, and as the emperor gets older, everyone can see that he is deliberately cultivating the prince so that he can prepare to take his position, which means that other princes who are interested in getting involved in the throne have a smaller chance!
