49. Beauty in the painting (4)

Being led to the West Guard of the East Palace, Li Yu couldn't help but feel strange.

Xiaozhou is a military general of the leading government, and it is understandable to live here, but ...... Why did he lead the guard to enter the palace through the prison gate, but the one who led the way was an internal servant?

"It's here, general, please come in."

The chamberlain led him to a living room and hurried away.

……

"Boatβ€”"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yu pushed the door and entered, looking all the way from the outer room to the inner room.

Like the rooms of ordinary military generals, the inner room is simply and elegantly furnished, and there is nothing superfluous. The only special thing is that a large screen on the west side separates the couch from the inner hall. Xiaozhou is a woman in the end, living with a group of military generals, so it is appropriate.

Incense was burned in the room, and it was the fragrance of the snow and the sea.

Hearing the slight sound of footsteps, he immediately looked up to see a woman in a long dress standing behind the screen in the smoke of the smoke. Although the inner room was a little dark, he still recognized it at a glance, this figure was definitely not Su Xiaozhou.

The man turned around slowly, and let out a fluttering "thorn", calling him to be six gods and no master in an instant.

"Your Highnessβ€”"

Li Yu didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a while. In the living room of the general of the Guard...... Your Highness...... Dressed in a woman's dress...... This...... It's not a situation he can take in stride.

"Did you scare you, thorny?"

Li Hong walked out from behind the screen, holding the silk with both arms, and dragging the wide skirt behind him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Yu was a little flustered and hurriedly lowered his head.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was once common for men to wear powder and skirts. In this dynasty, although this move is not very worthy of the table, but sometimes, in order to condense poetry, literati will also dress up as women, so as to figure out the state of mind of their daughter's family. Although I don't know what the prince's intentions are at the moment, he is doing this to avoid people's eyes after all. Suddenly glimpsed this situation, he really didn't know what to do.

Or pretend to be accustomed to it and don't care?

Or, pretend not to see it?

……

After thinking about it, Li Hong had already walked out of the darkness. A ray of sunlight shone on him, and the "Phoenix Yu Fei" embroidery on the blue and blue skirt was particularly dazzling.

"Ahem...... cough ......" A few coughs interrupted Li Yu's thoughts.

"What are you looking for Xiaozhou for?" He asked.

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Something happened to the Su family, ask me to come and look for her back." ”

Li Hong nodded, "She's already gone back." This palace wants to see you, so I asked Yuanhe to bring you here. ”

Li Yu immediately cheered up, "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

Li Hong raised his arms, turned around in front of his eyes, and asked in an unusually relaxed tone, "Is this monofilament Biluo long skirt good-looking?" ”

With a drum pounding in his heart, Li Yu was sweating on his forehead, and he could only say, "Okay...... Pretty. ”

This is Xiaozhou's living room, could it be that the dress is hers?

No, it must not be, she is not so bold!

Li Hong raised his right hand, against the light, as if admiring the delicate embroidery on the long sleeves, and muttered to himself: "Xiaozhou really understands the mind of the palace, the monofilament Luo is soft and soft, and the green and blue pigment is pure and elegant, and it must be beautiful to dance in the wind in this dress." It's a pity that this palace can't dance softly and can't perform for you. ”

"Your Highness, the ministers deserve to die." Li Yu fluttered and knelt down.

Although it was from the mouth of the prince that he wanted to perform a dance for him, he was here at this time and heard these words, and he deserved to die.

Li Hong walked over and half-squatted in front of him, "Xiaozhou asked Bengong, since you like skirts, why don't you put them on and try them?" At that time, Hongu said that his posture was not as graceful as that of a woman, and he was unwilling to wear it. In fact...... I want to wear it for you to see alone. Do you really think it looks good? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Saying that it looks good, is it easy for the prince to misunderstand? It's not good-looking, isn't it looking for death?

Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, Li Hong suddenly came up to him and wrapped his arms around his neck.

Instinctively, he jerked away.

"Panic!"

If it were the other robe brothers, it would be enough to make a fuss and ridicule a few words, but now it is the prince who behaves strangely.

"Thorn Ran-" Li Hong's expression was a little hurt, and he said word by word: "If this palace is a small boat at this moment, even if you don't have pity for her in your heart, you won't avoid it, right?" ”

He compares himself to the boat, making the already strange conversation even more dangerous.

Li Yu is like a thorn in the back, "The minister and Xiaozhou are not close." ”

Li Hong smiled and continued: "Don't worry, Xiaozhou is much closer to this palace than you, and I will never be angry with her because of this." In fact, Bengong has always envied her, beautiful, healthy, generous, and most importantly, pure-minded, she is a good match that no man in the world will refuse. Bengong himself can't get what he wants, and it won't be too sad to be replaced by her. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Li Yu gasped.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what's the matter? It hasn't been like this before. Suddenly, said this, is it the legendary Longyang? !

……

Looking at his stunned appearance, Li Hong suddenly sneered, "Hahahaβ€”β€”, thorny, it turns out that you also have this kind of embarrassment!" I've known each other for so many years, and I can't even think of it! The little gangster at the top of Chang'an City can't even cope with this kind of scene! ”

"This ......"

It turned out to be a joke, and Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, this kind of joke can't be made, the minister will lose his life!"

He sat on the ground and gasped for breath a few times before he realized that his chest was aching.

Li Hong sat next to him, unable to hold back his laughter, "Recently, I was writing a poem about my resentment, so I secretly came here and put on the skirt of Xiaozhou to ponder it." Who knew that there would be such an opportunity to play a good trick on you. Whoever let you enter the palace only look for a boat, and don't come to see the palace. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Yu sighed again in his heart.

This dress doesn't fit Xiaozhou's size at all, how could it be hers? Your Highness may really be hiding some secrets...... Xiaozhou obviously knew, no wonder she said several times that she wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and said that she would stay in the East Palace for the rest of her life.

"Your Highness, it was the minister's negligence. Are you feeling better today? He pondered.

Li Hong smiled, "I can't die left and right." ”

Looking at him, he is indeed very different from last night. Li Yu nodded, the matter of the palace is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, let alone something that should be made too clear. Although he also cares about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he and Xiaozhou are still slightly different.

"By the way, there is something that this palace has always wanted to ask you." Li Hong said suddenly.

Li Yu came back to his senses, "Huh? ”

Li Hong said: "Back then, where did you get the 'rootless fire' that you secretly brought into the palace to treat the fire of the palace? ”

"Fire ......"

Li Yu's breath tightened, and his thoughts returned to ten years ago.

At that time, he had been studying medicine with his grandfather for several years, and he thought that he was familiar with medical science, so he tried to show people in the market. He is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and the poor people who look down on the sick do not hesitate to die, allowing him to take turns with various prescriptions and needles and stones, and he has healed many people by mistake. Once he went to the palace with his grandfather to see him, and after befriending Li Hong, who was suffering from miasma, he began to think of finding a way to cure his incurable disease.

By chance, he got acquainted with the splash skin in the market-Ghost Six, and entered the "ghost market" in Chang'an by him. There, he obtained a number of hard-to-find medical books, including the long-lost Fire Cloud Sutra, which contained a recipe for fire healing that prompted him to take the plunge.

The "rootless fire" that Li Hong said was exactly what he did from the hands of Ghost Six...... Stolen.

It was a faint blue fire, without any support, hanging in the center of a glass bottle, and the mysterious light made him remember it vividly.
