38. Ruthless parting

There was silence for a while, only the sound of the wind.

After a long time, Tao Zhiyuan came back to her senses.

"Slave maid, may I ask my lord, how many wives do you have in the house?"

Yun Yi was silent, how could he say that he had countless beauties in his harem.

Tao Zhiyuan saw that he didn't answer, thinking that he also had three wives and four concubines, and felt a sense of loss in his heart, he was a doctor, how could he be an official, where would he have no wife.

"A slave and a maid only wish that their husbands should be only slaves and maids, and that they should love only slaves and maids."

This alone, Yunyi can't do it at all. He was still not reconciled, and said, "No matter how many wives I have, I promise that I will love you alone." ”

Tao Zhiyuan shook her head: "My lord, look at this harem, how many women are intrigued, even if the adult has only one wife, he will compete with the slave maid for the love of the adult." ”

Yun Yi understood, she was so beautiful and pure, how could he leave her in this dark harem, although he was lonely, only she was a confidant, and when they met for the first time, she said that he had not obtained the name Mo Yanhua well, and he couldn't put his pain on her.

"You're a good girl, I really can't bear it." Yun Yi was a little melancholy, "Let's just say nothing tonight." ”

Tao Zhiyuan suddenly felt that he was extremely lonely, far away, and still felt his loneliness.

I still remember someone told her about the difference between liking and loving, just like a flower, loving a flower is to water her, and liking a flower is to pluck her.

And he, does he love her?

"Don't come here again, as you did at the beginning, we were already strangers." He was afraid that if he continued to get along with her, there would be a day when he couldn't help it, then she would be imprisoned in this palace forever, he was reluctant, and he was afraid that one day Wei Manhui would find her, and he had no ability to protect him.

After a few months of getting along, the emotions that have been deeply planted are all buried in the bottom of his heart, he is not a free person in the first place, perhaps, he is not qualified to love someone at all.

Tao Zhiyuan wanted to speak and stopped, and thousands of thoughts were hidden in her heart.

Seeing him get up and want to leave, she remembered the purpose of her coming here, and she hurriedly called out to him: "Wait! ”

He paused, turning around in confusion.

"My lord, don't look over into the woods."

"What do you want to do?" Although Yunyi felt strange, he obediently turned to look at the woods.

Tao Zhiyuan approached him, took out the incense and put it on the stone table, looking at his back, there was an indescribable feeling, tears seemed to be about to burst out of her eyes, she gritted her teeth, and quickly turned around and ran away.

Yunyi heard the footsteps of her leaving, and felt a little lost in his heart, and turned around to see her running back, and was even more sad.

At this time, he noticed the incense tassel on the stone table, the cyan silk, embroidered with a bat, the image was realistic, he took a closer look, but found that this stitch was very similar to the butterfly incense tassel he had ever seen, he was suddenly very strange, could it be that she had anything to do with Yun Cairen?

Yun Cairen once said that she wouldn't know this kind of stitching, it wouldn't be her, so who is it?

Who the hell is she?

Tao Zhiyuan ran all the way, just wanting to escape from the place where he was, was she tempted by a stranger she had never met? How so? This makes no sense.

Ran out of the Imperial Garden, crouched in the corner, too tired to stand up again.

Tears soaked the veil and stuck to her cheeks uncomfortably, and she took it off and wiped it dry.

"Cloud Palm?" The sound of footsteps abruptly stopped.

Tao Zhiyuan looked up and saw Shi Fulin, Lao Dong and Lao Liu.

"What's going on? Why are you crying? Lao Dong is a warm-hearted person, and he hurriedly cared.

She shook her head, cracked her mouth and smiled, trying to pretend to be as casual as she could, and said, "No, the sand is in my eyes." "The excuse is very bad, I'm afraid only she can say such an excuse if she is irrational at this time.

Lao Dong saw that she didn't tell the truth, and he was embarrassed to ask again, looked at Shi Fulin's face, saw that he had a gloomy face, and didn't say that he would continue to patrol.

Tao Zhiyuan also noticed that Shi Fulin had been staring at her, and there was an indescribable feeling in her eyes, and she was also a little embarrassed, so she said, "Commander Shi, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back first." ”

As soon as she turned around, she heard Shi Fulin calling out to her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can you hear someone singing in the Imperial Garden just now?" Is it sung by cloud palms? ”

When he patrolled to the vicinity of the Imperial Garden, he faintly heard the same singing as Chinese New Year's Eve, and he accelerated the pace of patrolling, who would appear in the Imperial Garden at night? I just saw her.

Tao Zhiyuan was a little scared, although she was a female official, she was also nominally the emperor's woman, if it was known that she was with a lonely man and a widow with the imperial doctor, I am afraid that she would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

"No, I didn't hear anything." Tao Zhiyuan couldn't wait to slap herself twice, why did she stutter at a critical moment.

Shi Fulin is good at observing words and feelings, and at a glance, he knew that she was lying, and Lao Dong and Lao Liu also saw it, and the two looked at each other.

"It's getting late, I don't know what Yun Zhangzhi is doing when he is not resting in the room?" Shi Fulin continued to ask.

"This ...... I was drawing in my room, but I couldn't find inspiration, so I went out for a walk, and I came to the Imperial Garden, which isn't a big problem, is it? When she said this, Tao Zhiyuan's heart was beating wildly, and she tried her best to restrain her weakness, for fear that Shi Fulin would see any flaws again.

"It's fine, but let's go back early."

Tao Zhiyuan heard him say this, and breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

"Slow, on the night of your Chinese New Year's Eve, are you in Xiyun Pavilion?"

Tao Zhiyuan was stunned, how did he know?

Shi Fulin once helped her, and when Yun Qingyuan came to visit her in Shanggong Bureau, she also praised Shi Fulin, which is not something to hide, so she said: "Yes, I kept the New Year with my sister that day." ”

After Tao Zhiyuan left, Shi Fulin had already suddenly realized.

That person is not Yun Qingyuan, it is her.

She was the one who sang that song in Xiyun Pavilion, and she is the one who sings this song now.

Every time I hear this singing, she appears.

"Big brother, shall we wait to bypass the Xiyun Pavilion?" Since the New Year, Shi Fulin has developed the habit of always patrolling the Xiyun Pavilion, and they have been delayed for a lot of time, Lao Dong reminded.

Shi Fulin groaned for a moment, feeling that he was really stupid during that time, and he had been entangled for a long time just by a misunderstanding.

"That's not what we patrol, we will patrol according to the route in the future." After speaking, Shi Fulin had already taken a step forward and blended into the night.

Lao Dong and Lao Liu, who were still in place, didn't know why, so they could only look at each other.
