Chapter 331: Barley Soup
When Lu Qingjin woke up, it was almost dawn, Qin Zhao sat quietly at the head of the bed with his clothes on, looked at her and held a soaked handkerchief in his hand, and said as if relieved when he saw her wake up: "You are awake!" Isn't it a nightmare? Did you have any dreams? ”
Lu Qingjin's eyes were a little misty, looking at the slight light outside the window, he felt cold, and leaned towards Qin Zhao unconsciously: "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, I think I have seen hell, I have seen those who are struggling with sin, I have also seen myself, and there are many people and things I don't know and don't know, as if I have arrived in a new place." ”
Qin Zhao pursed her lips when she heard her hoarse voice, got up and poured her a cup of tea, the tea was steaming, and finally dispelled a lot of fear in Lu Qingjin's heart, she took a sip before saying, "Seeing that the sky is almost dawn, you better rest quickly!" If it is seen in the morning at the meeting, it is my fault. ”
Qin Zhao ignored her teasing and just looked at the teapot in his hand quietly, until the long scar left by the hot teapot in his palm did not stop, Lu Qingjin should have been distressed, but looking at Qin Zhao's appearance, he inexplicably thought of the man in his dream, and all his emotions disappeared in that instant.
Qin Zhao lowered his head as if he didn't know anything, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, this morning has been canceled today, now let's talk about this dream of yours!" ”
Lu Qingjin thought for a while, he really didn't know what to say about his dream, nodded and waited, Qin Zhao hesitated for a long time as if he couldn't speak, and then said: "I forget when I heard a legend that there was a very mediocre emperor when this imperial city was not established, but this emperor has a daughter who is very talented in governing the country, but the old king is worried that his position will not be able to keep it and set fire to kill his daughter and wife in one night, but their residence takes in more than 100 refugees, According to the recollections of the people in the city, they saw the princess in a white dress and lantern in the fire come out with some wailing people, but in fact, the princess was the only one who survived, and even if others asked her, they refused to tell what was going on. ”
Lu Qingjin remembered the situation in his dream, and a trace of coolness appeared in his heart, and finally calmed down, and then he remembered and asked, "Why do you know the scene in my dream?" Why did you choose to speak up at this time? ”
Qin Zhao still lowered his head and didn't speak, and the two of them were suffocated as if they were separated by a layer of invisible things, and after a while, Xiao Si outside the door said slowly: "Emperor Qi, Queen Mother, the mage has arrived, do you want to go in and do something?" ”
Lu Qingjin smiled bitterly and said lightly: "It's still dark, it's long gone, you just take someone and send it back, anyway, the ghosts in people's hearts can't be eliminated by such a three-by-two rhetoric." ”
The last two sentences were very quiet, that is, they were said to Qin Zhao, Xiao Si agreed outside the door and left, the silence surrounded the two people again, Qin Zhao finally stood up as if he couldn't stand it anymore and said a little gloomy: "Don't you already know?" I'm the emperor of this country, but I'm also a thief who has seized power, even if there is any cooperation with Jiu'an, it should be, you are an alien star, you are guarded against, let alone me, even your aunt really believes you? ”
The biting coldness of these words couldn't stand even Lu Qingjin's experience, she shivered fiercely and said slowly: "Forget it!" I don't care if you're a little excited today, but now it's getting dark, so go back and rest! We'll talk about this later, when we all calm down. ”
Qin Zhao walked to the door and stopped thinking for a while before saying, "I don't know what your dream is, it's just that this matter is the only secret, I just want to tell you, as for other things, you still can't know now, but what is certain is that there is no grievance in the previous dynasty that you don't know." ”
Lu Qingjin buried his head in his arm for a while before he heard the sound of the door closing, the sun slowly rose, there was no movement in the room at all, if it weren't for the emperor just coming out of the house, not long after Xiao Si suspected that his master had died inside.
After a while, there was no voice, Xiao Si couldn't stand it, knocked on the door softly and asked, "Now that it's almost noon, Niangniang should come out and eat something!" If there is anything you can discuss together, today the small kitchen also made barley soup, you won't have nightmares after drinking it. ”
I don't know if it was time that moved Lu Qingjin or Xiao Si's barley soup moved her, the door that had not made a sound for a long time made a creaking sound, Lu Qingjin's white ghost-like face was exposed to the sun, Xiao Si was so frightened that he forgot to speak, Lu Qingjin looked at her indifferently and asked lightly: "Where is my barley soup?" ”
Xiao Si swallowed his saliva and drove the panic out before pushing Lu Qingjin into the house: "Niangniang, let's go in first!" Now that the sun is so strong outside, it wouldn't be good if you had a heat stroke. ”
Lu Qingjin didn't refute, just drank the barley soup little by little, the sweet taste of the barley soup neutralized Lu Qingjin's panicked feeling, she felt how ill-fitting her outfit was, fortunately, Xiao Si was already prepared, and slowly changed the clothes in her hand into her.
Xiao Si thought for a while and then said slowly: "Last night's incident was too big, the ladies in the palace have heard about it, and many people think that this matter was caused by someone poisoning, and now the palace is investigating everywhere, do you see if you come forward to take care of it?" ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head, closed his eyes a little tiredly, and said lightly: "Let them go!" It's not the first time left and right, and besides, the people in this palace can only be clean if they are properly liquidated, how many of them are really innocent? ”
Xiao Si's hand shook inexplicably, and the comb fell to the ground with a crisp sound, she pretended to be casual and picked it up, but the ivory comb had been broken into two, Lu Qingjin turned his head slightly and smiled shallowly: "Are you feeling weak?" I don't know when you started to be like this? What's so terrible about being born innocent? ”
Xiao Si smiled reluctantly and said slowly: "The slave has never seen you like this, and I'm a little scared, it's not that I'm weak-hearted, I'll go change the comb." ”
