Chapter 17 Charges of Unwarranted Crimes
On the branches of the trees in the Yongshou Palace, there were faint scattered cicadas. The sparkling surface of the lake is reflected in layers of sparkling, and the water surface is paved with a lotus to dye this brilliance into a blue color.
Because the Queen Mother is already old and her physical strength is a little exhausted, she has already gone to rest.
Su Yirong ate something, only felt a little tired, dazed, and slept again. When I woke up again, the strength in my body also recovered a little.
When the Queen Mother woke up, she came to see her. Su Yirong's heart was not only moved, but also moved.
"How? After a good night's sleep, do you feel better? The Queen Mother asked softly.
Su Yirong's heart warmed, "It's already better, grandmother." ”
Suddenly, she thought of Liu Guifei. Concubine Liu fell into the water before her, and I don't know what happened to her. Even the queen mother was alarmed, and the emperor must have been alarmed.
I don't know what the palace people said about it.
The Queen Mother seemed to see through her thoughts, sighed in her heart, and asked, "Rong'er, what happened when you told your grandmother?" ”
Su Yirong was taken aback, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. She didn't know what the answer the emperor heard, and she didn't know how the palace people spread the news. Although she knows that the Queen Mother loves her in her heart, and the Queen Mother treats her like this now, she knows what she says, and the Queen Mother will believe it.
However, the key lies in what Liu Guifei will say.
If Liu Guifei said that she was pushed into the lake by her, then of course she had to defend herself. However, if Liu Guifei just said that the two accidentally fell into the lake, she naturally couldn't say that Liu Guifei deliberately fell into the water and then pulled her into the water.
When Su Yirong was secretly thinking about what to say, Leng Yanxi arrived at Yongshou Palace. She looked up at him, her usual expression, dark and indistinguishable eyes, and she didn't know whether he was angry or happy at this time.
Ever since he came, there seemed to be a strange air in the air.
Su Yirong took a deep breath, wanting to break the atmosphere, and said a little unnaturally, "Grandmother, you see, the prince ignores the concubines. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said: "In the three days that you have been in a coma, Yanxi has not slept well, knowing that you woke up, I am afraid that I am overwhelmed with joy." ”
Three days in a coma?
Su Yirong thought that he had only been in a coma for a few hours, but he never thought that he had been in a coma for so long.
The Queen Mother told her what the imperial doctor said, saying that before she fell into the water, she had a wind chill on her body, and the long time she fell into the water aggravated the wind chill, resulting in a high fever that did not go away. The doctor was busy for a whole day and a night before she was relieved of her fever.
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother choked up, "You stupid girl, you are sick, and you are still here to accompany your grandmother." If Yanxi hadn't happened to pass by Siyu Lake and saved you, grandmother would only be afraid of ......" The Queen Mother choked up and couldn't speak.
Leng Yanxi hurriedly comforted a few words, his eyes fell on Su Yirong's side from time to time, and he couldn't see any emotion in his deep eyes. Su Yirong shuddered at this gaze, and had an indescribable feeling.
Have kittens? Or is it inexplicably sore?
The Queen Mother was persuaded by Leng Yanxi to rest, and when he came out, she looked at Su Yirong coldly, "Can you go by yourself?" ”
After knowing that he had saved himself, Su Yirong felt a burst of gratitude in his heart. However, her gratitude was lost because of the look he had just looked.
In fact, she can barely walk, but when the words come to her mouth, they have changed, "I'm afraid I can't." ”
He stared at her for a few seconds, then turned to leave.
For some reason, she was slightly lost in her heart, staring at his back, gradually moving away, approaching the door, but seeing him suddenly froze her steps, before she could react, he had already looked back, walked fast, and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.
He hugged her suddenly, her head tilted, and her hands instinctively rested on his shoulders. Raising her head, she met his complicated eyes. She saw the contradictory struggle in his deep eyes.
He walked out of the palace with her in his arms like this, and the eunuchs and palace maids who passed by along the way couldn't help but look at them secretly.
Su Yirong didn't expect him to carry her out of the palace, but she felt that there seemed to be a fire on her face, burning her face so hot that even the roots of her ears were red.
Several times, she begged him to let her go. And he, as if he had not heard of it.
Out of the palace gate, he carried her and boarded the carriage. However, as soon as he entered the carriage, he rudely threw her on the soft sleeper. Her head hit the wall of the car straight on.
Her cheeks were redder, and she was shocked and angry for a moment. And when she looked up and glared at him, his eyes revealed his hidden anger and coldness.
Su Yirong's heart trembled slightly, this was the first time she had seen him have such obvious anger.
Leng Yanxi sat on the soft sleeper, cast his deep and sharp eyes on her, and the icy words spit out from his mouth, cold and terrifying, "Su Yirong, you pushed Liu Guifei down the lake?" ”
She pushed Liu Guifei down the lake?
When he said this, did it show that the truth in Liu Guifei's mouth was that she Su Yirong pushed her into the lake?
Su Yirong frowned, "Did Concubine Liu say that?" ”
Leng Yanxi squinted, exuding a compelling coldness all over his body, "This king is asking you, did you push Liu Guifei down Siyu Lake?" ”
Inexplicably, Su Yirong's heart was sour.
"Then the prince thinks the concubine will do this?" She wondered how he thought of her.
"Su Yirong, don't test the patience of this king." When he said this, the anger in his eyes burned, and every word was accompanied by cold anger, "Say, did you push Liu Guifei down the lake?" ”
Su Yirong bit her lower lip, he asked her so angrily, why did she bother with what he thought. He had already told him so clearly that he believed she had pushed Liu Guifei into the lake.
However, Su Yirong will not admit to the trumped-up charge.
She raised her head, looked directly into his eyes without fear, and said coldly: "I, Su Yirong, do things above board, I didn't push her." ”
Leng Yanxi's eyes narrowed dangerously, and the color in his dark eyes became a little darker. It's just that even he didn't notice it, and there was a trace of pain in the depths of his eyes.
"Does the prince still have anything to ask his concubines?" Su Yirong asked coldly.
Leng Yanxi blinked and looked at her coldly.
Su Yirong looked at him quietly, and in the depths of his heart, an indescribable sourness and pain surged up. She didn't understand why she was in pain. He didn't believe her, as for being so uncomfortable?
Su Yirong closed her eyes, and after a while, she stubbornly raised her head and looked at him coldly, "Since the prince has nothing to ask the concubine, the concubine wants to get out of the car." ”
Hearing this, his body stiffened, and his deep eyes stared at her, and the emotions in his eyes were once again unrecognizable.
On the lively street, a carved horse-drawn carriage with a vermilion wheel stopped on the side of the road.
Su Yirong exhaled deeply, didn't look at him, and got out of the carriage. Soon, the carriage gradually drove away from her. The afternoon sun was blazing, and Su Yirong stretched out his hand to block it. Looking at the bustling streets, she suddenly didn't know where to go.
Rui Wangfu? When she thought of it now, she resisted it deeply.
Prime Minister's Mansion? How could she go?
She was at a loss, where should she go?
Thinking of the past, she always likes to go shopping, and whenever she sees something interesting, she can always be happy for a long time. And today, it is still a familiar street, and there are still novelties in front of her, but she has no heart to look at it, and her heart is even more empty and heavy.
The scene where he questioned her angrily always came to mind, and the more I thought about it, the more sour my my heart became, and tears flowed out of my eyes uncontrollably.
Immediately reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she secretly scolded herself for being useless, and it was not that she had not been misunderstood, why did he not believe her, she had to cry.
Su Yirong, you're really useless!
She hates tears, it's just a sign of weakness and uselessness.
But now she couldn't stop crying.
"Rong'er?"
Suddenly, a warm voice sounded behind him.
Su Yirong was shocked when she heard this voice. She didn't dare to look back, she recognized this voice, it was King Yi! She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, but the more she wiped them. In a panic, she wanted to run. However, King Yi had already walked in front of her a few steps.
"Rong ......" Leng Yanyi just opened her mouth to call her, caught a glimpse of the tears on her face, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Su Yirong choked up and couldn't speak, in front of him, she suddenly felt that her grievances had been magnified many times.
Seeing that she was crying so much, he led her to the river where there were few people, and sat down in the shade of a large tree.
He handed her a brocade and quipped, "I'm about to cry like a flower-faced cat, so let's wipe it off." ”
When Su Yirong heard this, he laughed out loud.
After sitting by the river for a while, Su Yirong's mood gradually improved. King Yi sat quietly next to him, and when she stopped crying, he smiled lightly, "I'll send you home." ”
"Don't." Su Yirong blurted out, and hurriedly explained, "I deliberately came out to relax, and I don't want to go back now." However, after saying this, even she herself did not believe it. Who will come out to relax, crying can't be seen?
Obviously, Leng Yanyi didn't believe her explanation either. It's just that she didn't want to say, and he didn't ask.
Time passed, and the sun began to sink in the west.
The twilight of the evening glows brightly on the riverside.
Looking at the boats on the river, he got up, "I still have something to do, so I won't send you home." You go back alone, no problem, right? ”
She shook her head and looked at his back.
Suddenly, she called out to him. He stopped, turned around slowly, and looked at her gently, "Something?" ”
"Thank you, Uncle Huang."
He looked at her, smiled warmly, and didn't say anything.
She squirmed for a while, "Also, Uncle Huang, I was very out of shape just now, can you not see me so unproductive?" ”
"You also know that you are very unproductive?" He blurted out, suddenly feeling that this was a little spoiled and inappropriate, so he coughed a few times and said with a smile, "Don't cry anymore after crying, Uncle Huang will act as if he didn't see anything." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Su Yirong stared at his back, suddenly stretched out his hand at his back, raised his handkerchief and opened his mouth, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and whispered, "It's all stained by my tears, how can he still want it." ”
