Chapter 24: The Promise
After stabilizing his figure, Yu Zhao hurriedly looked inside to see if Chu Ziyi had woken up, only to find that Chu Zikai had grabbed his two hands firmly in a hurry, and withdrew them as if he had been burned. He calmly asked, "Did the imperial doctor say that you can get out of bed?" ”
"Nature." After answering, Chu Zikai got closer. "I have no conscience, and I haven't come to see me for six days."
"I'm not free," Yu Zhao's eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at him, and replied indiscriminately: "I'll make medicine for His Highness."
Chu Zikai debunked her: "You and Miss Wen haven't stopped talking and laughing."
The lie couldn't go on, so Yu Zhao had to shut up and be silent. I heard Chu Zikai laugh quietly: "Just because of that, are you scared like this?" "I feel very puzzled, I was quite a gentleman at the time.
Yu Zhao glanced at him warningly, "Don't mention it." After crossing him to catch the rabbit outside, he turned his head and saw Chu Zikai picking up something, and hurriedly touched his sleeve pocket, and sure enough, he saw that the money bag was gone. hurriedly said: "Give it back to me, that's what you paid to me." ”
Touching the contents was not money, Chu Zikai wanted to open it and take a look, but this action shocked Yu Zhao, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab it.
"What's so mysterious?" Originally, he was just curious, but if Yu Zhao said that he was not allowed to see it, he didn't have to see it. But now that the reaction is so big, it has to be seen.
Hold the bag high and say quietly. "I haven't healed yet."
It worked immediately, Yu Zhao was quiet for a moment, broke the jar and fell into the house. "That's it anyway......"
Chu Zikai's laughter really came in, and Yu Zhao's cheeks rolled up. Seeing that he came in with the piece of paper full of Zhao characters, he sat down, folded it carefully and put it in, and put it in Yu Zhao's hand. "The so-called heart has a soul."
Yu Zhao looked up strangely when he heard this, and saw that he took out a peace charm from his arms, and opened it was the word she wrote.
It's a courtesy, and you don't need to be polite. Yu Zhao silently put away the money bag and hid it, and the two sat silently drinking tea. Yu Zhao took the book and looked at it, but it was rarely quiet and leisurely. Chu Zikai's gaze kept stopping at her, and Yu Zhao could see it, but he finally felt uncomfortable, so he simply put down the book and looked at him. "What's there to see?"
"Everything looks good......" Chu Zikai replied with a smile. Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "On the last day of the return trip, my father will go to the eastern suburbs to inspect the military camp, and the rest will rest in the other courtyard, I will take you to see your mother, and by the way, you will visit Jingzhou." ”
"Don't you have to accompany you?" Yu Zhao really wanted to go, but he felt that it would be very troublesome.
"I just have to accompany him, my father and the emperor will lead the ministers and soldiers to eat and live together for a day in order to show the army and the court."
"Where's Ziyi?" Looking at Chu Ziyi on the bed over there, and making sure that the conversation didn't disturb him, Yu Zhao continued: "Why don't you take him with you." ”
"No problem." Chu Zikai was very happy to see her agree, and responded happily.
For Yu Zhao wanting to see Yu Lu, Emperor Yuan would never refuse, because he knew that Yu Zhao was willing to go deep into the tiger's den to help Chu Zikai successfully inherit the great cause, and Yu Lu's idea accounted for a lot of reasons, so he readily agreed, only telling him to be careful in everything, and another one, in order not to let Yu Cheng be too careful, the movement was smaller.
promised one by one, when he set off, Chu Zikai's injuries had already healed, and the families of the ministers went back one after another, only Liu Wanrou pestered Concubine Liu to stay. Seeing a few people coming out, he hurriedly and timidly blocked up to ask for concern, crying about his worries and concerns. Wen Luo looked at Liu Wanrou, who was in a completely different state from the side, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and secretly obey, turning his head not to look at this embarrassing scene, and his movements were so big that he shook off his steps.
"Hmm......" Yu Zhao looked at Liu Wanrou, who was raining pear blossoms, and then at Chu Zikai, who was stunned, and cleared his throat and spoke. Miss Liu is really ...... It's a lot of infatuation. ”
Chu Zikai turned his head to look at her, Yu Zhao looked at her, and pushed the matter to him. "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks?"
After not daring to look at him again, he suddenly felt a little strange, this is his peach blossom, of course he decides for himself, why should he feel guilty. So I put my mind at ease and watched the excitement from the sidelines.
Chu Zikai straightened his expression and spoke. "Miss Liu is in love by mistake, and this king already has someone he likes."
Liu Wanrou looked up in astonishment, looking at Chu Zikai with tears in her eyes, Yu Zhao sighed and shook her head, looking at Wen Luo, who couldn't bear to look at the tragedy in front of her, and felt funny.
Liu Wanrou was so sad that she sobbed, and spit out a sentence intermittently for a long time. "The courtiers are not talented, and they have not been able to enter the eyes of His Highness, I am ashamed, can I ask His Highness to tell me who that woman is......"
Secretly glancing at Yu Zhao, who was watching the play next to him, Chu Zikai spoke: "It's the person who hides in my heart, and I don't want it to be disturbed by outsiders." It's not that Miss Liu is bad, but because I entrusted my heart when I met her in this life, I can't take it back. ”
Liu Wanrou heard the words of sadness, shame and anger surging together, turned around and left, riding a horse and galloping to the other side of the pasture, Concubine Liu was anxious, and hurriedly ordered people to chase after her.
Looking at her back, Wen Luo said straightforwardly. "It's really wrong, it's not worth it......" suddenly realized that he had said it in front of Chu Zikai, and apologized again and again. Yu Zhao stopped: "Why apologize, you are right." ”
Chu Zikai glanced at her and said vaguely: "Indeed, it is worth it for those who really pay right." ”
Wen Luo couldn't understand the dumb riddles that the two played, so he only went over and brought the gift made by his mother to Yu Zhao. "Mother, this is the venison jerky that my mother made, it's better than roasting, and it will last a long time."
Yu Zhao took the thanks, looked back, saw a simple woman bowing from afar, nodded hurriedly in response, and said to Wen Luo: "I heard that you are going to hand over to the next guard, and you will come later, and when he arrives in Jingzhou, he can enter the palace at any time to find me." ”
Wen Luo happily responded, and her mother over there hurriedly called her over to work, and hurriedly ran over there. Yu Zhao got into the carriage and lifted the curtain to see that the Luo skirt on her body was indeed a little out of place. But she didn't realize it at all, and she lifted the corners of her skirt high, which made people feel cute. Chu Zikai rode a horse and suddenly crossed in front of her, and asked thoughtfully: "I only care, do you think it's worth it?" ”
Yu Zhao didn't answer, lowered the curtain, and listened to his pleasant voice outside. "Oh...... Default. ”
With a sweet feeling in his heart, Yu Zhao lifted the curtain of the car after a while to peek at him, but he kept staring at him and didn't let go. The two looked at each other, and immediately put them down. The love in Chu Ziyi's eyes saw that Yu Zhao's thoughts were slightly confused, and he remembered what he said to Liu Wanrou just now, and he felt that his heart was filled, and he closed his eyes and pondered, trying to slow down his beating heart.
All the way back to Jingzhou safely, when I got off the car, there was a lot of noise, Concubine Liu and Concubine Feng waited for Yu Zhao to enter the palace in the eastern suburbs together. They each went back to the assigned garden to rest, Yu Zhao changed into a plain cloth robe, put on a curtain fence and prepared to take Chu Ziyi to the city.
I don't want Chu Ziyi to be sleepy as soon as he gets out of the car, and he can't wake up when he sleeps. Zhuo Yao said helplessly to Yu Zhao: "Why don't you go by yourself, the slave and maid are guarding here, and it will be fine." ”
Yu Zhao thanked him, went out of the side door and rode straight to Yu Lu's mansion with Chu Zikai.
The news that someone was going to assassinate the paddock had already arrived, and Yu Lu had been so worried recently that he couldn't think about it, and he lost a lot of weight. Suddenly, I heard that someone was reporting a visitor, and I felt strange in my heart, so I reluctantly got up to welcome him out.
Seeing that it was Chu Zikai, his heart moved and looked at the woman with the curtain next to him, slowly opened it, tears fell instantly, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her. "Zhaozhao, my mother is worried about death, have you been injured?"
"Don't worry, I'm unharmed." Yu Zhao patted her on the back and soothed. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave his life to save me."
Hearing this, Yu Lu looked at Chu Zikai and immediately wanted to kneel. "His Royal Highness Prince Xie, your great kindness will never be forgotten.
Chu Zikai hurriedly stopped. "Madame doesn't need to say thank you, if something happens to her, my heart will not be restless."
Yu Lu couldn't hear the implication, but Yu Zhao clearly understood it, glanced at him and helped Yu Lu to sit. After a long day of chatting and having lunch, the two of them left their horses there. Walking to the bustling city, the maple trees along the way are fresh green, and the fortune-telling stalls are placed in a row below. Each guest was satisfied with what they heard, and took out the money in their purse with a smile and gave a reward.
Seeing this, Yu Zhao nodded: "That's right, the poor can't eat enough, how can they have spare money to tell fortunes." ”
Hearing her say this, Chu Zikai said with a smile: "These people are just spending money to buy comfort when they encounter something that doesn't go well." If you have hope, you will have some hope. ”
As he spoke, he walked to a stall, and Yu Zhao was attracted by the various strange masks on it, and picked up a half-faced tiger. "Buy one and go back to Ziyi to play......"
"You haven't even given me anything." Chu Zikai's tone was uneven, and he complained: "You only think about him." ”
Yu Zhao picked up a mask and put it on his face: "Send you, no thanks." ”
Gladly accepting, Chu Zikai tied the string of the mask himself. Yu Zhao paid, and the mother-in-law who was guarding the stall looked at the two with a smile. "My wife is the same, she loves to compete with her son, but she has been good to me all her life and has never changed her mind."
"I will do the same." After Chu Zikai answered, he looked at Yu Zhao with a smile, and couldn't see what kind of demeanor she was through the curtain, but from the paused hand, she could see that she should be shocked and ashamed at this moment.
Reacting, Yu Zhao hurriedly thanked him, walked away quickly, and saw Chu Zikai coming up and patting him. said angrily: "It's messed up! ”
Taking it by the way, Chu Zikai held her hand and led her away. Although Yu Zhao stiffened unnaturally for a moment, he relaxed in an instant, letting him hold it, and warmth surged from his palm.
The people on the bank of the river are planting some peonies and peonies, which are in the flowering season and bloom like fire. Reflecting the green of the maple tree, it is vulgar and elegant, giving people a visual impact. Attracted many literati to come here as Danqing, not for money, if there is a beautiful woman in the crowd of onlookers, it will be given when the pen is written. won a shy smile, and lived up to the trip.
Yu Zhao looked at the person in front of him who gave the painting at a loss, and refused: "I don't know how to paint, I'm afraid I will live up to my son's masterpiece." ”
The painter has been here for several days, and he is very talented, whether it is a painter or a poem. For several days, all the young women came to wait every day, but they never gave away their works easily. was rejected for the first time, and was immediately a little stunned.
"She only appreciates the danqing made by the person she likes, don't be reluctant." Chu Zikai stepped forward to protect Yu Zhao behind him, and after saying that, he pulled her away quickly.
"It's not well drawn." After walking away, Chu Zikai said to Yu Zhao seriously. Thinking of the cat and fish he made for his birthday, Yu Zhao nodded helplessly. "It's really not as distinctive as your work."
was praised for being happy, Chu Zikai smiled a little proudly, and took her to Linjiang Tower to taste tea and rest. The condescending view is instantly wide, and the vast river is dotted with several fishing boats. From time to time, there are gulls and herons flying together, this scene makes people feel relaxed and happy, the two silently admire, from time to time look at each other, their minds are like the river that is blown by the spring breeze, and there are ripples.
