Chapter 117: Politely declined
"Where are you going to see her?" Sima Liang pulled Zhuo Jinxuan's arm tightly, although cruel, he still said to him: "Bai Shuqin left yesterday, and he didn't find it all night, did you forget?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan suddenly stopped struggling, and his face suddenly lost his life. He remembered that last night, he had personally taken his favorite Shu Erqi away.
Pain hit his heart, Zhuo Jinxuan sat down on the chair and closed his eyes decadently, he hoped that all this was just his dream, as long as he woke up, he could see Bai Shuqin lying beside him, smiling at him.
"Ryo, help me get my clothes." Zhuo Jinxuan closed his eyes and said to Sima Liang.
"Are you still going to look for it?" Sima Liang walked to the hanger and took off Zhuo Jinxuan's clothes, looking at his tired face distressedly, "If you go on like this, your body will not be able to bear it." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't speak, his body would be unbearable, what about Bai Shuqin? She lost her child, and she didn't know where she went last night, can her body withstand it?
"The capital is so big, when are you going to find it alone? I sent someone to inquire secretly, and she wouldn't find out. Sima Liang suggested, and he put Zhuo Jinxuan's clothes on his arm, ready to follow his own ideas.
As soon as Sima Liang took two steps away, Zhuo Jinxuan called out to him, "No!" I don't want her to be angry again, if I can't even find her, what qualifications do I have to be her husband! ”
Sima Liang sighed deeply, "The folk legend is true, what is said that every generation of the royal family will be infatuated, your generation, I think it is you, you can't be wrong!" ”
"Maybe." Zhuo Jinxuan got up, put on his coat, and prepared to continue to go out to find Bai Shuqin.
"Hey, I don't object to you going to find someone. But can you eat something first, if you fall, I won't help you find someone. Sima Liang said half-threateningly.
Zhuo Jinxuan was in the mood to eat, but what Sima Liang said was reasonable, he couldn't fall down before finding Bai Shuqin.
The noon sun had already begun to be scorching, and Beizhu was sweating profusely, and his lips were peeling. She hasn't rested for a day and a night, and from yesterday noon to now, she hasn't eaten a drop of water.
Her eyes began to lose sight, and even though she tried to open them to the fullest, she still couldn't see, but instead began to become dark, and even the heavens and the earth began to spin. She moaned weakly, "Brother Zijun, help me, I can't see anything." ”
Du Zijun was startled when he heard Beizhu's voice, and seeing that he was about to arrive at the Third Prince's Mansion, he desperately sped up, "Xiao Zhu, you are holding on, we will be there soon." ”
Chitu rushed to the front of the Three Princes' Mansion and stopped obediently. Du Zijun hurriedly hugged Beizhu and dismounted, Beizhu looked weak, his lips were chapped, and even his moans of pain were as thin as mosquitoes and flies.
Thinking that Beizhu had not rested for so long, Du Zijun began to blame himself, what could he do if something happened to Beizhu.
He hugged Beizhu and ran into the Three Princes' Mansion like crazy to find Imperial Doctor Li.
"Imperial Doctor Li, help me save Xiao Zhu, she's going to die!" Du Zijun shouted anxiously when he entered Imperial Doctor Li's room.
Imperial Doctor Li came out of the inner room with a rag, and when he saw Du Zijun's anxious appearance, he glanced at Beizhu, pointed to the stool, and motioned for Du Zijun to put Beizhu down.
Du Zijun understood, and quickly put Beizhu on the chair and supported her. "Imperial Doctor Li, Xiao Zhu just said that she can't see with her eyes, you see she can't even speak now."
His voice was a little choked, and Li Yuyi opened Beizhu's eyes with his hand to look at it, then withdrew his hand, pointed at Du Zijun and said, "It's just heat stroke, look at your fussy look." ”
"Huh?" Du Zijun opened his mouth, and then he took a closer look at Beizhu, and it was indeed a heat stroke.
"You go to that wet towel and put it on her forehead, and then go to the kitchen to cook the medicine that relieves the heat, and drink it." Imperial Doctor Li picked up his rag and went back to the back room and continued to wipe his medicine box.
After all, it was inconvenient in Imperial Doctor Li's room, so Du Zijun picked up Beizhu and prepared to find a maid to take care of her.
Even if Bai Shuqin was not there, there were still many maids in her room. Qingluan came back and heard about Bai Shuqin, and felt even more annoyed about his departure yesterday, and was ready to go to Zhuo Jinxuan to ask for guilt.
Qingluan walked halfway and saw Du Zijun walking towards her with Beizhu in his arms, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Du Zijun worriedly: "What's wrong with Beizhu?" ”
"I'm suffering from heat stroke, Sister Qing, you came back just in time, you help me take care of Xiaozhu." Du Zijun said that he was about to hand over Beizhu to Qingluan, and Qingluan hurriedly reached out to take Beizhu over.
Du Zijun hung the medicine bag he took from Imperial Doctor Li on Qingluan's shoulder, "This is medicine, you remember to cook it and feed it to Xiaozhu." Also, she hasn't eaten for a day, so cook some porridge for her. ”
Qingluan was a little annoyed by his approach, "Leave it all to me, why are you going?" ”
"I have something urgent, otherwise how could I let you take care of my Xiaozhu." Du Zijun smiled, turned around and slipped away.
Qingluan looked helplessly at Beizhu in her arms, since Du Zijun handed it over to her, she could only take care of Beizhu first. Please let the sinful things go for now.
When sending Zhuo Jinxuan back in the morning, Du Zijun wanted to send it to Bai Shuqin's room, but Sima Liang was afraid that Zhuo Jinxuan would hurt the scene, so he insisted on asking him to send Zhuo Jinxuan back to the room where he had not lived for a long time.
When Du Zijun arrived, Zhuo Jinxuan was about to go out.
Seeing Du Zijun's hurried appearance, Sima Liang thought that he had found Bai Shuqin, and stepped forward and asked, "Have you found the Third Imperial Concubine?" ”
"It's not." Du Zijun shook his head, bypassed Sima Liang, and handed the letter that Xu Fei handed him to Zhuo Jinxuan, "This is what they found in Baohetang in the morning, and there may be the whereabouts of the three imperial concubines in it." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan eagerly took the letter, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter.
At the beginning of the letter was the word "Hugh Shu", these two words were like sharp knives, inserted into Zhuo Jinxuan's heart, he clenched the letter paper tightly, and continued to look down.
"You and I have no fate, but today our fate is over, and we have nothing to do with it. You and the white bet are made in heaven, and from now on, the two of them can raise their eyebrows. ”
The lower left is Bai Shuqin.
There were traces on the letter paper after being wet and dried by water, and Zhuo Jinxuan knew that they were Bai Shuqin's tears. If she really wanted to cut him off, how could she cry.
Sima Liang also saw the contents of the letter, it was the first time he had seen the woman Hugh, and this Hugh was still the prince. He observed Zhuo Jinxuan's face worriedly, afraid that he would do irrational things in anger.
However, Zhuo Jinxuan was not as angry as Sima Liang was worried about, but showed a look of pity on his face.
Sima Liang felt strange and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and tucked it into the cuff. His expression seemed to calm down, and he said to Sima Liang, "Let's go." ”
His behavior made Sima Liang even more curious, whether he was angry, angry or sad, Sima Liang could understand. But it was like nothing had happened, and he really couldn't understand it.
Du Zijun didn't see what was written on the letter, and when he heard Zhuo Jinxuan say to leave, he thought that he knew Bai Shuqin's whereabouts, so he almost cheered happily, and hurriedly followed Zhuo Jinxuan and them.
"You seem happy?" Sima Liang frowned and asked Du Zijun, thinking that these people were really stranger than the other.
Du Zijun thought that the letter had mentioned Bai Shuqin's whereabouts, and of course he was happy. All his tension and worries were relieved, and his face became a little lighter, "You'll be able to see the Third Imperial Concubine soon, aren't you happy?" ”
From his words, Sima Liang knew that he must have misunderstood the content of the letter. But after all, it was a divorce, and he didn't know the best. Sima Liang didn't say anything to him, just kept up with Zhuo Jinxuan's steps.
In the afternoon, Yihong Mansion gradually began to be lively, and Chu Qiao was so happy that he was idle for half a day, drinking tea leisurely.
Bai Shuqin sits by the window all day long, and most of the people who come and go on the street are men, here are fireworks and willows, and most ordinary women are too late to avoid it.
It was already about three o'clock in the afternoon, and Nangong Che hadn't appeared since he left last night.
Yesterday, Nangong Che said that the emperor would take action against Bai Shao'an in three days, Bai Shuqin hoped that time would pass quickly and see the downfall of Bai Mansion as soon as possible.
According to the amount of money embezzled by Bai Shao'an, even the nine clans are not sorry. But when the time comes, in order to vent his anger, Bai Shao'an will inevitably shake out Bai Shuqin's identity, and it is unknown what the emperor will do with Bai Shuqin at that time.
Bai Shuqin really didn't like the feeling of being pinched by someone else's fate, and she had to go to Han Yu, the culprit who caused her miscarriage.
If Bai Shao'an is investigated, Bai Shuqin knows that she will not be able to be spared, and the only way is to stay away from the capital for the time being, but she still has to watch Bai Shao'an go to prison with her own eyes.
Chu Qiao saw that Bai Shuqin was alone for a long time, so he proposed to her: "Girl, after sitting for so long, let's go out for a walk." ”
There were a lot of guests outside, and Bai Shuqin didn't want to go out to meet people, so he politely declined.
"Do you want me to play a tune for you?" Chu Qiao wanted to make Bai Shuqin relax, and without waiting for her to reply, he took the pipa over and played it with his slender jade hand.
"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the end of the Yangtze River, and I don't see you every day..."
The singing is tactful, accompanied by the music of the pipa, which expresses the sorrow of a lovesick woman. Bai Shuqin saw a faint sadness in Chu Qiao's eyes, this song sang about herself, and it also reminded Bai Shuqin of Zhuo Jinxuan.
She frowned, she didn't feel how much she loved Zhuo Jinxuan, why did her heart hurt at this time? She clutched her chest and looked at the willows blown by the wind outside, is Zhuo Jinxuan still looking for her?
Oh, what if you look for her? Maybe it's just to see if she's dead. Bai Shuqin's eyes were cold, they had nothing to do with each other anymore.
"You're so elegant!" Nangong Che pushed the door open and walked in from the outside.
Today, he is not wearing an official uniform, it should be said that as long as he comes to Yihong Mansion, he will wear ordinary clothes. However, even if he only wore Pusha's cyan robe, it couldn't hide the temperament of the Imperial Forest Army on him.
Chu Qiao understood that Nangong Che was saying this to Bai Shuqin, and his eyes were a little lonely, but he disappeared in an instant. She paused, leaned her back in her chair, and got up to meet her.
"Master, it's really early today." Chu Qiao took off Nangong Che's cloak and held it in his hand.
Nangong Che didn't reply to her, sat down on the chair, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Bai Shuqin heard that Nangong Che was really mocking her just now, and she didn't take it to heart, and let him laugh, who made her owe him a favor before.
"How's going on with Bai Shao'an?" Bai Shuqin asked, she only cared about this matter now.
Nangong Che took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Bai Bingbin was injured by you for half of his life, and the emperor is not unkind, he always has to give people time to heal." Don't you want to know about him? ”
Bai Shuqin naturally knew that he was talking about Zhuo Jinxuan, she really wanted to know, but she still said stiffly: "I don't want to!" I think you're just making excuses for your own incompetence, I'm afraid the third concubine has changed her mind! ”
"You don't want to believe it, and you can't help it." Nangong Che didn't eat her agitation method, "Chu Qiao, I have something to talk about with her, you go out." ”
"Got it, master!" Chu Qiao glanced at Nangong Che, put his cloak on the hanger, and left the room softly.
