Chapter 147: Thoughts in the Heart
"Are you the weather forecast, how do you say that this rain will fall? Then you see when it will stop, if it rains heavily, I won't be able to go into the palace to find Yuge. ”
Su Jiao was so cold by the falling rain that she hurriedly turned back to the room and closed the door. Xiao Huai'an helped her pat the water droplets on her body, and said slowly with a smile.
"I just saw that the clouds in the sky outside were a little thick, so I guessed at random, who knew that you would run into it as soon as you came out, and it could only be fate. But it doesn't seem like it will stay too long, so you can always go out tomorrow afternoon. ”
Hearing this, Su Jiao pouted but didn't say anything, it is estimated that her heart was already a mess, and she didn't know what to say, but after Xiao Huai'an patted the water stains on her body for her, she suddenly looked at it, and Su Jiao was a little nervous.
"It's just one thing, you have to keep in mind the current situation, let you stay away from Miss Zhang, I'm afraid you won't, but you'd better be careful, don't let others have the opportunity to frame you,"
"Miss Zhang suddenly had joy, this is the first grandson among all the princes of Daze, almost the same people, and even the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom, all of their eyes are also on Miss Zhang, but if there is an accident, if you are too close, you will also be implicated, so tomorrow you will come back early after seeing her, so as not to have more trouble."
Logically speaking, Xiao Huai'an's worries are not unreasonable, but this inevitably sounds a little unhappy in Su Jiao's heart.
is accustomed to a fair and strict society under the rule of law, and suddenly in such an era where it is difficult to find evidence without monitoring, she can only get rid of her suspicion by intimacy, which really makes Su Jiao feel a little unhappy.
Su Jiao pursed her mouth secretly, raised her head by biting her back molars, and looked at Xiao Huai'an with a puzzled expression, "Are you saying that you are worried that at this time, there are still people who want to think about the child in Yuge's belly?" You also said, this is the first emperor of Daze, if something really goes wrong, it is not a major crime to be sentenced to death, and anyone dares to act so boldly? ”
"Although you are smart, you really know very little about these things, and people in this world do not only value themselves, they can go forward and risk their lives for an idea that they believe in."
Xiao Huai'an lowered her head and met Su Jiao's gaze head-on, for the first time she felt like a little girl who knew nothing, able to rely on herself wholeheartedly, "You haven't seen the crazy scene at the beginning, and you are lucky, but you must not let your guard down because of this." ”
"If that's the case, then it's a big deal, and I have to take precautions." Su Jiao noticed that there was a trace of the past and a secret pain in his eyes, and he was not embarrassed to ask questions about what he said.
But Xiao Huai'an reminded himself that if he wanted to prevent others from making small moves around Yuge, he had to consult a professional first.
At the same time, it was the same night, when it was close to midnight, the rain was falling more and more clearly, Xu Rulie originally wanted to come back earlier, but when he saw such a big rain droplet on the way, he was a little hesitant.
The maid, who was arranged by the magpie on the order of the queen, noticed that something was wrong with him, because she didn't know much about Xu Rulie's romances, so she didn't know why he was so sad, so she only rode a horse to the front to see the distance, and then came back and urged.
"Third Highness, let's go quickly, it's this time, if you don't go back to the city, I'm afraid that the city gate will be closed, today's weather is not good, you need to go back to the house to drink a bowl of hot ginger soup to warm up, otherwise if something goes wrong, the slave will not be able to explain to the queen."
"You said the gates were about to close?" Xu Rulie raised his head, his eyes had just regained a little brightness, but he only heard such an inconsequential word as.
The was a little helpless, and after straightening the hat on his head, he nodded reluctantly, "Exactly, so His Highness ......"
"Then you won't go back in such a hurry, so as not to delay the time to close the city gate, but to make my father unhappy, there are also temples nearby, you can go to the Lotus Temple with His Royal Highness to complain, and tomorrow it will be just to save another trip out."
Xu Rulie pulled his mouth and laughed, making the opposite him look helpless, for fear that he was really going to change the route to the Lotus Temple, so he hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse and blocked it in front of him.
"Your Royal Highness, this is not in accordance with the rules, the queen said, you are not allowed to go to the Lotus Temple at will, besides, today's rain is too strong, and it is not convenient to go up to the Lotus Temple. And most of the people in the temple are nuns, and the things are not complete, so Your Highness, let's go back first. ”
"You are presumptuous, where is Your Highness going to accommodate you to talk nonsense here," just now for the queen's sake, so she specially explained to the, and now the have to stop in front of her three groups, which is to make Xu Rulie all his patience wear out.
"Don't you think that His Highness has nothing in mind? The backyard of the Lotus Temple is the residence where His Royal Highness Aunt Su lives, and His Royal Highness can go there to take shelter from the wind and rain, as for the Queen Mother, if you dare to say half a sentence about today's events, you will naturally know what kind of fate you will have,"
At this moment, the night light was dim, so that people could not even see each other's faces clearly, but the still read a strong threat from Xu Rulie's eyes.
Xu Rulie glared at the fiercely and then withdrew his gaze, and when he mentioned Su Lian, he suddenly became a little gentle.
"Li'er has always been afraid of such thunderstorms, if His Royal Highness doesn't accompany her, it really makes Li'er have a good time, and His Royal Highness won't let you go."
After that, Xu Rulie turned the horse's head and stubbornly went in the direction of the Lotus Temple, the had no choice, and all they could do now was to follow all the way.
And Su Lian in the backyard of the Lotus Temple, because of such a cold and damp weather, she was indeed shivering from the cold. Her bed was already ready, a thick quilt, but she seemed to be a little disgusted with the color and not very good-looking, and she was only huddled at the head of the bed with her knees hugged.
With the rain of this night, Su Lian couldn't help but think of the day when she was taken back to Su Mansion by Lord Su on the first day, it was also such a rainy day, she lost her parents, and since then she has changed her fate and become the second miss of the Su family.
If my father and mother hadn't offended the local rich and prominent people, maybe I would have been born in a good family, not to mention how noble I was, at least she was also a righteous eldest lady, where would she be able to use it like this now, barely surviving under Su Jiao's hands to this day.
After all, he and the Third Highness got along happily for a year, but because Su Jiao wanted to break the marriage contract and leaked it out for no reason, he offended the queen and caused himself to be dozens of miles away from the Third Highness, even if he missed each other in his heart, he never saw each other.
Thinking like this, Su Lian's tears couldn't help but slide down the corners of her eyes.
No one came to disturb her these days, but she was also living quietly, and today she was so emotional that she couldn't help crying. And just when she was about to raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, suddenly the door was opened, and Xu Rulie, who was still carrying the cold outside, hurriedly walked over.
Seeing Su Lian's face so discolored, Xu Rulie took her in his arms in distress, patted her on the back and comforted her.
"Li'er is not afraid, the husband is here, no one will dare to bully you again, I believe that in a short time, I will be able to take you back, you must believe me, you must not be discouraged."
As soon as these words came out, the that stood at the door and guarded them, not letting people come over, couldn't help but tremble, and they thought in their hearts that it was better not to tell the queen this sentence, otherwise I was afraid that the queen would be even more angry.
Su Lian's face was full of shock, she felt a cold touch under her hands, and for a moment she thought she was dreaming, but when she heard the heartbeat in his chest, and those two heart-warming words, she felt a thousand times in her heart, and she couldn't help but cry on his shoulder.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why did you come here, I thought I was here and had been forgotten by you, fortunately, Your Highness, you can still remember me, whether I can go out or not, a little scared, I am willing to die."
While crying, Su Lian's hand kept beating lightly on Xu Rulie's left shoulder, but he didn't dare to exert too much force, just like a cat's tail gently sweeping, making Xu Rulie's heart sweet and spoiled, and very unbearable.
Xu Rulie sighed in his heart, helped Su Lian lie down, and pulled up the quilt for her, "It's all my fault, it's because I didn't come to see you as soon as possible, so you suffered so much, but if you endure it a little longer, the matter will be over soon, and I won't let you stay here forever." ”
As soon as these words came out, the pestle was outside the door, and the, which had been used as a background board, finally couldn't help coughing lightly, and Su Lian found that there was still a person standing outside the door, and immediately buried his head in the pillow with a shy face.
And Xu Rulie was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly became angry again, glaring angrily at the direction outside the door, but he didn't know what to do with her.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Rulie carefully comforted and took care of Su Lian, and casually threw a word to the. "Go and rest in the next room, you don't need to wait here."
"She was originally sent by my mother to take care of me, you don't have to worry about it, she is just a slave." After all, it seemed that he was afraid that Su Lian would care, so Xu Rulie also explained it in particular. But it's also true, he can even turn a blind eye to Zhang Yuge, who is a young lady, how can he put a servant girl in his eyes.
