127. Why do you want to hide it from me?
In the bedroom, Li Hongjing removed his cloak and roasted himself by the stove before going around to the inner room.
This was not the first time he had stepped into Liu Yue's bedroom, but it was different from before, his eyes were full of worry.
Thinking of the feeling of pain in his heart when Qin Yu sent back the letter saying that Liu Yue fell into a deep sleep inexplicably, it was as if someone had whipped him on his heart, making him unable to keep calm again and again, the royal jealous? The crisis of Yuwangfu? Officialdom? None of them are more important than her safety.
He rushed over without caring about all the matters in Beijing, he wanted to find his little girl, hug her, and accompany her.
Li Hongjing sat on the edge of the bed, his bony fingers caressed Liu Yue's eyebrows, he hadn't seen her for a while, the little girl seemed to be open again, her pretty face was like a white lotus blooming, her plump red lips, and her smooth skin, but her peach blossom eyes, which were shining, no longer looked at her as before.
Li Hongjing frowned slowly, Liu Yue's tender and soft hand was held in his palm, and his smooth skin carried the coldness of winter, he held it on his chest, trying in vain to use his body temperature to warm her.
His long narrow eyes were dark and deep, and his lips were pursed tightly.
"Qingqing?" He whispered in her ear.
The only thing that answered him was the silence of the room.
Li Hongjing still stubbornly held Liu Yue's hand, and tirelessly whispered her small words in her ear over and over again, the longer he called, the more cold air he felt all over his body, colder than the winter snow outside, as if the only life-saving medicine in heaven and earth that could rejuvenate and drive away the cold had been lost since then.
"Qingqing... Are you blaming me for being late? So don't want to wake up and see me? Li Hongjing bowed his head and put his lips on Liu Yue's forehead, kissing him lightly.
Long before Qin Yu sent the letter to him, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong, Liu Yue's letter would be delivered to the house every three days or so, but I don't know when the letter was changed to five days, and then there would be a letter from time to time.
In his reply to her, he bluntly asked Liu Yue if something had happened, but she replied that everything was fine.
He was worried that Liu Yue would hide it, so he asked Tie Yi to ask Qin Yu about them, and replied that everything was fine.
Now that I think about it, all this was arranged by Liu Yue, just to hide it from him.
"Why are you hiding it from me?"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't lie to me?"
For three days, Li Hongjing stayed in front of Liu Yue's bed inch by inch, his eyes staring at her for a moment, not daring to miss an inch.
Li Hongjing's guardianship did not make Liu Yue wake up early at all, on the contrary, Liu Yue has not woken up since he came, and has been in a deep sleep.
"Lord Wang, it's time to eat." Lu Zhu came in with a meal, followed by Qin Yu and Lan Jian.
They couldn't see the situation in the inner room through a screen, only a vague figure could be seen, Li Hongjing was sitting on the edge of the bed, and he didn't look back.
Lan Jian's subordinates gently tugged at Qin Yu's sleeve, wanting him to open his mouth to persuade him, but the master didn't wake up and the prince fell again.
Qin Yu pulled out his sleeve from his hand, and without giving a glance, Lan Jian consciously bowed to the screen and withdrew.
After Lu Zhu also laid out the dishes, he glanced at the direction of the inner room, and silently lowered his head and retreated.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, Lan Jian couldn't stay any longer, so he muttered in a low voice that the two guys who escaped from the battle retreated in a bad mood.
The room was suddenly clean again.
For three days, Li Hongjing never left the bedside, but his eyebrows did not decrease by half at all.
After maintaining a position for a long time, his shoulders and neck have long been numb, but he still stubbornly maintains the posture of holding the little girl's hand.
In the past, Li Hongjing didn't know what fear was, and he had never been afraid in his heart, but now he looked at Liu Yue sleeping on the bed, and he realized that when he was unable to protect his beloved, and watched her life pass away in front of you, this unknown panic and sadness was fear, like a vine in his heart, the pain was unbearable, and it was like falling into an endless abyss, without stopping.
"Still can't visit today?"
Outside the courtyard, Fifth Ge couldn't help but say to Lan Jian with his arms around his chest, "I was also treated like this when I came here the day before yesterday, and it was the same yesterday, who came to see Liu Yue?" She also turned away all our friends who cared about her. ”
Aiming at the direction of Liu Yue's bedroom, he said again: "Her father is here?" Then you can't refuse our kindness without even showing your face, right? ”
Lan Jian was in trouble for a while, and he didn't know how to answer this.
Of course, the prince is now guarding the master's side, of course, no one is allowed to visit, especially the prince's special status, and this time he came from the forces in Beijing to hide it, and it is impossible to show up in public at all, so he can only be wronged by the fifth brother and the Mei family sisters and brothers standing outside the courtyard.
At this time, Qin Yu walked towards them, stopped two steps away, and said with his fists clenched: "Please also ask the fifth son, Miss Mei and Mei Gongzi to go back and wait patiently, the master will send someone to inform you when he wakes up."
"Qin Yu, don't always reply to us with this, we are tired of listening to you if you don't say anything." Fifth Ge said.
Mei Zimo stepped forward with a little impatience, "No matter who the people in the Liuyue room are, we must go in today to have a look." ”
Mei Xuelan didn't stop Mei Zimo from stepping forward, she already made her attitude clear, and she also wanted to follow in to visit.
Qin Yu raised his eyes.
A silent confrontation swirled through the air.
Under the eye contest of both parties, which were not to be outdone, there was a sound of the door opening behind him.
Everyone followed the prestige, and the green beads came in a hurry, and they ran to the front and breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "The prince asked a few people to go back, and I will notify you when my young lady wakes up."
Rajah? Fifth Ge was stunned for a moment, could it be that King Yu is here?
Seeing Mei Zimo's confused expression, Mei Xuelan suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Mei Zimo about Liu Yue and Yu Wangfu's family affairs.
"Since Yue'er has the prince by her side to take care of us, we won't bother." Mei Xuelan pinched the handkerchief and gave Lu Zhu a reassuring look.
Lu Zhu cast a grateful gaze, the prince had already known that it was so lively outside, if it weren't for the sake of these few young ladies who cared, I am afraid she would not have been able to come forward.
Now Liu Yue doesn't need them by her side, and the three of them are not fools who don't understand anything, and Lu Zhu's words make it clear that they don't want them to come to visit again, just go back obediently.
Mei Zimo was taken away by Mei Xuelan, and the fifth Ge looked at the direction of the bedroom and returned, even if he wanted to see King Yu again, if the time was not right now, he should not go up to block it, anyway, he had already returned to the palace of King Yu and would have the opportunity to see King Yu in the future.
When everyone left, Lu Zhu sighed lightly, "The prince told us to go in, let's go quickly." ”
Qin Yu and Lan Jian looked at each other and nodded.
Li Hongjing sat on the chair with the back of the green bar wood, tilting his head slightly, "What is it that you are responsible for before Yue'er falls asleep?" ”
Green Bead, "Miss didn't explain anything to the slave. His eyes unconsciously glanced at Qin Yu and them.
She is only responsible for serving Miss's daily life by Liu Yue's side, and Miss will not hand over too complicated things to herself.
Lan Jian, "The master asked his subordinates to keep an eye on Zhou Congshang and the child in her womb on Zhuangzi, as well as the learning situation of the orphans on Zhuangzi. ”
Qin Yu, "The subordinate is responsible for investigating the relationship between Zhou Zhiwei and Beicang, and occasionally is responsible for contacting Nuan Chun and merchants and other miscellaneous matters. ”
Li Hongjing leaned back on the chair and listened earnestly, and after they all spoke, he looked up at the three of them for a while, and said, "Qin Yu and Lan Jian stayed behind and then dealt with the Jingdu affairs on behalf of Yue'er, Lu Zhu, you change Yue'er's clothes and clean up, and set off after dark." After a pause, his slender fingers tapped on the table, "Qin Yu over there informed Qi Luo that he doesn't have to come back if he can't exchange eight hundred war horses." ”
