Chapter 337: Preview of the Expedition
"On the contrary, if you look at the water beads on your body, when the water vapor evaporates and runs into your body, the joints hurt everywhere when you are old, and I don't have so much energy to take care of you."
Su Jiao blushed embarrassedly, her mouth was unforgiving, but she was very honest in helping Xiao Huai'an to bullet off the water droplets on his body, and then helped him untie his cloak with her own hands.
Xiao Huai'an turned his head and saw that she looked so delicate, and she didn't have the energy to lose her temper again, so she quietly watched him help him deal with all this with a smile in his eyes. Just when her mind was relaxed, Leng Buding suddenly came out with this sentence.
"That being said, I can't really ignore you, you're here to avoid me. is continuing to investigate, that's why you took the initiative to untie my clothes? ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Jiao was almost choked by her own saliva, and the hands that helped Xiao Huaian sort out his clothes suddenly stopped on his shoulders, and it was not to continue, nor to take it down.
Su Jiao's face turned red, her eyes lowered and she turned around several times with a little weakness before she raised her head and angrily met Xiao Huai'an's eyes with a little joking.
"You are a person, you really don't see it, you don't talk amazingly, you pretend to be so good in front of outsiders, you just let yourself go in front of me, if you are scared to death and dare to speak like this, believe it or not, I will clean you up?"
Su Jiao stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Huai'an's cigarette collar angrily, but her face was crimson because of excessive shyness. Mu Rong quietly turned her eyes away, only to pretend that she hadn't seen anything.
Xiao Huai'an lowered his head, even though the height gap between Su Jiao and himself was so big, Su Jiao was still so confident, which made him feel very interesting.
"Good, good." Xiao Huai'an blinked and agreed several times in a row, but this tone sounded like a child playing.
Su Jiao was not very embarrassed, but after all, her face was over, so she reluctantly withdrew her hand, pretended to tidy up her clothes, and turned her head to the cubicle first.
"Then since you have recognized your mistake, I will spare you first."
Seeing that Xiao Huai'an and Su Jiao had already reconciled before they quarreled, Mu Rong said that she was no longer surprised. She looked inside the room, there was nothing to prepare, so she stepped back first, and then Xiao Huai'an slowly walked to Su Jiao, who was sitting in front of the dresser, with a smile.
Su Jiao raised her eyes, and she could clearly see what kind of emotions Xiao Huai'an had in her eyes when she looked at her, which made her slightly shy, but Xiao Huai'an's delay in making her a little puzzled.
She turned her head curiously, but found that Xiao Huai'an's face suddenly had a trace of sadness, and she was stunned.
"You have already heard the things at today's banquet, now that there is no one in the court, I must be going to travel far away in the near future, but at this juncture of the New Year, I can only leave you alone to accompany my mother-in-law for the holiday."
"I'm going to go far again." Listening to Su Jiao, although she was prepared in her heart, but. It was clear from Xiao Huai'an's mouth that it still made her a little unhappy.
"This great dynasty, how can you be tired of running around for everything, even if you are a person with high power and outstanding ability, it is not iron-clad."
Su Jiao wrinkled her brows, although she wanted to complain that the emperor's control of power was too much, but she couldn't say it, so as not to bring trouble to Xiao Huai'an. She felt bad for a while, so she could only turn around and hug Xiao Huai'an.
"I'm also sorry, but I hope that during the time I can't go out, you can take good care of yourself, and I have to have you with me before I leave."
"Uh-huh?" Xiao Huai'an's tone was tinged with melancholy, which made Su Jiao accidentally fall into it, and unconsciously agreed, but as soon as she agreed with her front foot, she felt that this word was a little strange with her back foot.
She sat down and raised her head, but seeing that Xiao Huai'an's face was still with such a serious expression, it made him unconsciously think that he was thinking too much, but the next moment, Xiao Huai'an gently bent down and hugged Su Jiao, who had withdrawn from the outer cotton robe.
"Now that we have everything clear, it's not too early today, let's rest first."
Nothing was said all night.
Besides, Xu Rulie, who had been away from home for several days, Su Lian gave birth to a son for Xu Rulie in the inn outside on a snowy night, and Xu Rulie was so happy that he almost planned to settle down in this neighborhood and wait for Su Lian to recover first.
But before Su Lian gave birth, she thought that she had experienced the cuckoo's incident and would affect her life, but it was just a false alarm, which made her feel happy, but she was more determined to go home.
Xu Rulie couldn't do anything about her, but after all, he still felt sorry for her body.
But after resting for a night, he found that Su Lian's physical condition was much better than he imagined, which made Xu Rulie puzzled, and it was convenient to embark on the journey to Su Lian's past hometown, Liuzhou.
It was the first day of the new year after Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xu Rulie temporarily rested for a day in the suburbs of Liuzhou last night, and this morning, he officially entered the city with Su Li.
Su Lian was wearing a snow-white rabbit fur cloak, although she had rolled in the snow once before because of the cuckoo, but this was given by Xu Rulie after all, so she was not very willing, so after being simply washed and dried, she continued to wear it on her body.
It stands to reason that after washing clothes like this kind of big hair, it will be easier to affect its warmth, but because Xu Rulie had a good eye for choosing this cloak when he chose it, the warmth effect is still very good.
In order to prevent the cold wind from blowing in and freezing Su Lian and the baby, Xu Rulie only lifted the corner of the curtain, glanced at how much distance there was outside, and hurriedly put the curtain down, and turned his head to look at Su Lian and the child in her arms with a look of pity.
Su Lian also pursed her mouth and smiled back at Xu Rulie, and looked down at a sleeping son who was in her arms.
Because he was a newborn baby, it was not yet time to name him, so Xu Rulie first gave his son a milk name, named Wan'er, which means one in ten thousand, because Xu Rulie was also Su Lian who was selected in one in ten thousand.
"Actually, we don't have to rush over so quickly, we don't have to get tired on the road, you and Wan'er."
Xu Rulie stretched out his hand and looked at Wan'er, who was sleeping, with a little blushing face, very pleasing, so he hesitated to touch it, but he was afraid that the child would wake up, so he raised his hand and gently touched Su Lian's face.
Su Lian smiled lightly, turned her head sideways, and gently rubbed it in Xu Rulie's palm.
"Rulie, you don't have to worry about us like this, anyway, the road is very flat, and my body feels much better than before, so it's only been a few days, it's nothing at all, let's arrive earlier, and we can settle down earlier."
"And Wan'er, he deserves to be your child, but he slept more and more comfortably in the bumps along the way, but when I was in the inn at night, I didn't know how to coax him. I think when I grow up, I will become a talent like you in the future. ”
It is estimated that because of being a mother, Su Lian's voice faded from the immaturity of the past and became more calm and steady.
She and Xu Rulie escaped from the shackles of the capital, and they didn't call each other those specific identities, but let them get along with each other, with the same harmony and warmth as a civilian couple.
Xu Rulie's hands narrowed slightly this time, and his eyes were extremely glad that he had made the right decision to leave with her.
"Having said that, it is thanks to your protection of him that he was able to come to this world safely. Fortunately, our efforts over the years have not been in vain, the snow lotus of their Wa country seems to be really good, and now that the Wa country and Daze have signed a treaty, presumably the snow lotus will not be so difficult to get anymore, and when I am free, I will find a way to prepare a few more flowers for you. ”
"Okay." Su Lian nodded.
Although snow lotus as a tonic is not a special medicinal effect, it can ensure that it can be effective for anyone in any situation, which is still commendable.
But then again, what happened to Snow Lotus this year is really not a good memory.
Thinking about it, Su Lian lowered her head a little uncomfortably, although Xu Rulie was puzzled by her emotional changes, but before she could ask, the carriage had already arrived at the city gate of Liuzhou.
"Stop, where are you from, and who are you in the car?"
The voice outside sounded very vicious, it was the guards at the city gate who were shouting there, and the little guy who helped Xu Rulie drive saw this, and hurriedly got out of the car and took out the road prepared in the morning and handed it over.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are from the capital, and my lord and wife are going to take the little master back to their hometown to visit relatives, and they are not suspicious people."
That's all for the previous sentence, this last sentence, no matter how you listen to it, makes people feel a little weird.
Xu Rulie furrowed his brows, made a look with Su Lian, and lifted the curtain and leaned out. As soon as he stood on the carriage board, he saw that Liuzhou City was under martial law, and there were gathering points everywhere under the city walls that seemed to be for registration.
There were many plainly dressed young men with reluctant faces, but they were forced to form a long queue in front of the tables at these gathering points, and even their group of foreign guests were no exception.
This scene is really suspicious, according to the emperor's character, how could someone be so bold as to collect so many people in private.
The more Xu Rulie looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he lowered his head, he saw the guard who was checking with a road guide to check it, pretending to be selfless on the surface, but in fact, he was probably thinking about how to secretly touch porcelain and blackmail.
