Chapter Thirty-Seven: Another Wave
Nianyun came back from the inner square, and it was getting late. was about to ask Yuzhu to put dinner up, but he saw a person sitting in the room, dressed in crimson clothes, who was particularly eye-catching in the elegantly furnished Yiqiu Palace.
Nian Yun looked at it fixedly, and pulled out a smiling face to greet him: "What kind of wind blew Niu Zhaoxun over today, but are the newly transferred subordinates serving inappropriately?" If there is anything bad, don't be polite, you must tell me. ”
The women in the East Palace are not easy to get along with, Niu Zhaoxun is one of the leaders, and now Nianyun's foundation is not stable, so I am afraid that she is here to find fault, so I will speak beautifully first.
Unexpectedly, Niu Zhaoxun didn't make a difficulty, but said with a smile: "Mrs. Jun has done a good job, there is nothing bad, and His Royal Highness has always praised it." ”
Since I'm not here to find fault, I'm here to ask for something. Nianyun remained silent and continued to play with her: "Zhao Xun praises." Nianyun's ability is low, and he knows that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive when he is in charge of the family, and he is not as good as his predecessors, so he has to be frugal, fortunately, His Royal Highness does not blame. ”
Niu Zhaoxun smiled: "I just heard that Mrs. Jun entered the door with a dowry of five hundred and twelve carrying, so she began to cry poor, and she was not afraid of people's jokes." Don't worry, the Cheng'en Hall has withdrawn the ambergris, how can we people not even have this bit of eyesight? I have come to you today for a private matter. ”
Nian Yun was a little surprised, and she didn't know what personal matters she had with Niu Zhaoxun.
Niu Zhaoxun just smiled and said nothing, Nianyun understood, and sent the maids out, leaving only one fennel: "It is fennel to serve, it is a close person, Zhaoxun has something to say, it doesn't matter." ”
Only then did Niu Zhaoxun smile: "Concubine Wei Xian has searched for several family affairs for His Royal Highness King Shu, but His Royal Highness has rejected them. ”
It took Nian Yun a moment to understand what she was talking about. Since she decided to be Guo Nianyun, the love that belonged to Guo Muye was buried with her sister. Even if she doesn't love Li Chun for the time being, she is already Li Chun's wife after all.
She lowered her head and groaned, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head and said: "King Shu has always been in love with my sister, but it's a pity that Siren has passed away, and I hope that His Royal Highness will accept the facts and find another lover." ”
Niu Zhaoxun stretched out his hand and took out the hosta from her hair, his eyes were sharp, as if penetrating her soul, and he lightly opened his lips: "Really?" ”
Really?
With just two words, her disguise was easily shattered and she was defeated.
Niu Zhaoxun said to the maid behind him: "Lan Xin, how is King Shu?" ”
The maid, who had been silent, bowed slightly: "Your Highness has been seriously ill, and now he has not recovered." The imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital has been to several batches, and all of them are heart diseases, which are beyond the reach of medicinal stones. ”
She only felt frightened, she didn't believe in Niu Zhaoxun, but she believed in Lan Xin, she knew it, Lan Xin was the maid by Li Yi's side, and she was quite trusted.
Nianyun suddenly remembered what Li Yi told her that he had a marriage contract, but the woman did not choose him, but broke off the relationship with the family without hesitation and entered the East Palace, so she had to declare that she was sick and died.
It turned out to be her.
How ridiculous, they should have met in King Shu's Mansion, but now they are gathering in the East Palace.
There was mockery in Nianyun's tone: "I thought that Zhaoxun admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, so he did not hesitate to break with the family and step into the East Palace." ”
Niu Zhaoxun said: "I naturally admire His Royal Highness, but I have known each other since childhood, and he is a downright gentleman. ”
Nian Yun didn't understand this woman anymore.
"In this way, Zhao Xun and King Shu are still childhood sweethearts."
Niu Zhaoxun smiled: "Childhood sweetheart? Speaking of which, it can be regarded as well. She seemed to see Nianyun's doubts, "My parents went early and were raised by my uncles of the same clan, but I have always had differences of opinion with my uncles in the family. I was eighteen years old the year I was married. ”
Oh, I see. The marriage finally fell through, and she was forcibly allowed to be a stepconcubine to King Shu. However, the little girl under the fence finally refused to be their pawn anymore, broke free from the shackles, and fought hard for her own future.
In this way, her severance of ties with the family was not a sacrifice, but the result of her deliberate pursuit.
And she also lost a lot of things, she had no dowry, and she didn't have the support of her mother's family, so she could only walk alone, struggle alone, be a little Zhaoxun, and was suppressed by Wang Liangdi.
Nianyun was not as resolute as Niu Zhaoxun, she obeyed her family's arrangement and married to the East Palace, and the princess's mansion also gave her a generous dowry and enough support to repay her.
Nian Yun saw her frank and said, "Zhao Xun has been difficult all these years. It's just that you and I are now in the East Palace, if Zhaoxun persuades me to turn back, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the East Palace and the Guo family, what is the benefit of Yu Zhaoxun? ”
Niu Zhaoxun stood up, "Have I persuaded you?" I'm just looking at the old days, and I'll bring you a word for you, as for how to do it, it's all up to you, what do you have to do with me? ”
She walked out the door, walked to the door, and stopped: "If you want to see him, I can arrange it for you." ”
She walked straight out.
At this time, she just started to cut through the mess quickly and neatly rectify the East Palace, which was the time when she was most afraid of falling into the hands of others.
But this incident started because of her, if Yi had anything to do, she would have indirectly hurt him. So in her life, even if she wins the praise of the East Palace?
No matter what Concubine Wei Xian was, even if Yi approached her with some intention at the beginning, she would never believe that he was hypocritical.
It was easy to survive until dawn, and she almost got out of the dark circles under her eyes, and she finally went to find Niu Zhaoxun.
Niu Zhaoxun seemed to expect her to come, and there was no surprise, and said, "You go out often, but it's convenient." In the afternoon, you only said that you would go to the East City and the West Market, and when you get out of this East Palace, I have my own way to quietly take you to King Shu's Mansion. ”
In the afternoon, Nian Yun ordered the green pothos to deal with trivial matters, brought a small servant sent by fennel and Niu Zhaoxun, and went out of the East Palace and went to the East Market.
Not long after, when they arrived at a spice shop in Dongshi, the little maid led them in, and only named a few of the best benzoin and **.
And after a short time the shopkeeper came out, and when he saw them, he saluted, and without saying much, he led them into the bedroom. There is a bookshelf next to the couch, and the shopkeeper pushes the bookshelf open, and there is a secret door behind it.
Niu Zhaoxun's little servant took Nianyun into the secret door, handed her a candlestick, pointed to a little light at the end and said, "Madame walked to the end, and the exit was King Shu's Mansion, where Sister Lan Xin answered." ”
Nianyun told Fennel to stay, and walked in with a candlestick.
The secret door behind him slowly closed, except for the little light of the candlestick in his hand, and the unknown ahead.
Every step under your feet is like a dance on the tip of a knife. As soon as you set foot on it, you may be doomed, and there is no turning back.
It was just a few tens of meters away, and Nianyun seemed to have walked as long as a century.
The light gradually increased, narrower and narrower, and finally she saw the light of day, and she stood in a dry well. The manhole cover is half-covered, which can not only cover the hole on the side, but also make it convenient for people to grab the edge and climb up with strength.
Lan Xin stood at the entrance of the cave without saying a word, and silently stretched out his hand to pull Nianyun up.
Lan Xin didn't know what was going on, she even thought that Konoha was really dead as it was said outside. When she saw her yesterday, she resented Konoha's unkindness, why did she suddenly abandon King Shu?
But now that she is here, Lan Xin suddenly feels less hated for her again.
Nian Yun didn't notice her thoughts, just followed her silently and walked into the courtyard close to King Shu's recuperation.
He was asleep, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and the smell of medicine in the whole room seemed to seep into the cracks in the walls, apparently permeating the room for some time.
The last time I saw him, I rode a horse with him, and he was the strongest son in Chang'an City. In just seven or eight months, he was pale and skeletal.
His hand was outside the brocade quilt, as if he was holding something. Nian Yun turned his hand over, only to find that he was holding a crumpled purse with poor embroidery, which she had given him many years earlier.
They were lucky to be reunited, and she became his future princess. But she finally married someone else, and the crumpled purse and the smooth hosta have become an indescribable story.
Nian Yun sat down in front of his bed, "Yi, I'm coming to see you." ”
Before he finished speaking, tears rolled down unconsciously.
He had just finished drinking the medicine, and there was still a trace of medicinal juice left in the corner of his mouth. Nian Yun took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, his eyes brushed over the corners of his eyes and eyebrows over and over again, and finally stood up and patted the back of his hand, "I'll go back, I'll come to see you another day." ”
Just as he was about to turn around, his wrist was grasped. She turned around and saw that he had woken up, so she smiled: "Yi, you are awake." ”
The afternoon sun shone in from outside the door, her gentle smile was brighter than the sun behind her, and this brilliant bloom was all to see him, to see him wake up, Li Yi looked at her, his heart was also full of joy, overflowing from his eyes.
His face was a sickly pale, and the sunlight shone in and dyed an unreal gold. The smile spread out from the eyes in a circle, and in an instant, the whole face bloomed, and there was vitality in an instant.
She stood in front of him, as if the girl who had learned riding from him was running in a bearded dress again, no different from before, all the pain and pain could not withstand the smile on the corner of her mouth at this moment.
He suddenly had a dreamlike feeling, reached out and held her hand, and said softly, "I'm sorry ......"
She lowered her eyes slightly. No, it's not his fault, he just doesn't have the power to change.
Li Yi stroked her eyebrows, "Mother said you...... The people in the princess's mansion said the same thing, but I didn't believe it. On the day of Chun's wedding, I finally saw you, and at that moment I was so far away from you, as if the whole world was between you and me, but I knew that it was you, and I was at ease. ”
On the day of the wedding, he saw it?
She looked at him in a daze, she didn't know. The red Sheepa was covering her face as she saluted, and she couldn't see far away.
Li Yi sighed: "Konoha, it's me who can't stand you." If you are not doing well in the East Palace, tell me and I will take you away. ”
Walk?
"No, no, Yi, don't say stupid things, you are the second prince, you are the king of Shu."
"There is already a prince in this world, and the second prince is a joke, so don't do it. I'm Li Yi, and I'm your general's brother. ”
She had mixed feelings in her heart. It was expected that he would not give up everything about King Shu, so he decided to be Guo Nianyun. Now he is willing to take her away, but do you want to go with him?
Seeing that the sun was already setting in the west, she stood up in a bit of a panic: "Yi, I have to go back, and I'll see you another day." ”
"Tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow I said that I would check the account books of the Inner House...... I'm afraid it's not empty. ”
"The day after tomorrow, then."
"The day after tomorrow will not be possible, and there are many things to deal with."
Li Yi insisted on asking: "The day after tomorrow?" ”
She knew that she had to make an appointment with him, so she had to say, "Five days later, I'll come back in five days." ”
Li Yi nodded: "Okay." ”
