Chapter Twenty-Five: When I See You, I Love You
When they returned to Jinling City, the glow was red through half of the sky, and the sunset had long since disappeared, and the night was about to fall as soon as it touched.
Along the way, Xiao Mochen was afraid that the village road would be uneven, and he kept shouting to Xiaobei in the car, slow down, slow down, or shout to stop, to rest for a while.
Xiaobei felt that now his master had really called him as an animal. Thanks to Xiaoqiu, who was also sitting outside the car, his face was not good-looking, so he was a little better.
The carriage drove slowly and stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Xiaoqiu saw Liyu standing in front of the gate, a thin layer of sweat broke out behind him. She knew that since she was a child, the most unbearable thing for Xiangye was that Miss was injured and tired, and that Miss was with other men, but today, these two things were all together......
She didn't dare to think about it, so she hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, put the horse tie away, lifted the curtain, and wanted to help Ge get out of the car.
Unexpectedly, the person who came out first was Xiao Mochen, and he was holding the sleeping Lige in his hand, he stepped step by step, very steady, and did not wake up the person in his arms.
Xiaoqiu's face was dark, the wounds on her body ached faintly, she didn't dare to look in the direction of Liyu, she just muttered a few words in her heart.
Is Miss a pig? hasn't woken up after sleeping all the way, and this time the prime minister must be going crazy.
Liyu didn't go crazy, just quietly watched Xiao Mochen walk towards him with Lige in his arms, his eyes were vague and he couldn't detect his emotions.
When Xiao Mochen approached him, he stretched out his hand and wanted to take the song. I never thought that Xiao Mochen didn't mean to let go, but just stared at him coldly, looking provocative.
Li Yu didn't put his hand down, he endured the anger in his chest, squinted, and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, please return the minister's sister to the minister." ”
When Xiao Mochen heard this, he just hooked the corners of his mouth: "Since last night, she has been the king's." ”
Hearing this, Li Yu's shoulders shook, and he stared at Xiao Mochen incredulously. Xiaoqiu on the side heard this, and almost lost his breath.
She stirred the veil tightly, and her heart was not angry. Such a young man with red roots, after staying with the young lady for a long time, has become so shameless, can this be said by the way? Or in front of Xiangye!
Li Yu gritted his teeth, his body froze, his jaw tightened, and he looked at Xiao Mochen's eyes, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and he said word by word: "Your Highness, please be cautious, don't tarnish the reputation of your sister in vain." ”
Xiao Mochen sneered and didn't take his words seriously. Holding Lige and passing him directly, he walked towards the house, and suddenly stood on his feet, his head turned to the side: "Xiaoqiu, lead the way for this king!" ”
Xiao Qiu's face was entangled, she looked at Xiao Mochen, and then at Li Yu. The latter lifted her chin at her, and she was relieved to lead the way.
When Xiao Mochen came out, the afterglow of dusk had all dispersed, and night had fallen.
Li Yu still maintained the standing posture just now, he stood in the night, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, there was no light in it, and the bottom of his eyes was impenetrable depth.
Hearing the footsteps, he moved his lips: "How can His Highness let go of the minister's sister?" ”
"It's the king she provoked first, and since it started, it can't end."
Xiao Mochen walked forward, side by side with Li Yu, his eyes fell on the front, and his voice was cold, "Xiangye, this king advises you, in the future, you will be a little more possessive of Ge'er, she is now a master person." Also, don't think that this king will be unfavorable to Ge'er, what happened back then, this king will not be counted on her head again. ”
Xiao Mochen saw that Li Yu didn't respond to him, he sneered, flicked his sleeves and left. is also a man, can he not understand the eyes of Liyu looking at Ge'er? In the name of his brother, he had dirty thoughts, and he thought he was hiding it well, so he didn't see that stupid girl's nerves.
It seems that it is time to return to the palace of King Chen.
Li Yu took his hands and calmly watched Xiao Mochen pass over him and get into the carriage, which went farther and farther until it disappeared around the corner. Then he looked up at the night sky.
The summer sky is changing, the night sky was suddenly covered by a large number of dark clouds, and the dark sky no longer saw the moon and stars, but a depressing deep darkness. The shadows of the trees in front of them were longing, the wind swept away, and the willow leaves danced hideously, causing the night birds to fly in panic.
"A storm is coming." Li Yu muttered, turned around and entered the mansion, waved his sleeves, and let people close the door of the mansion.
Oh, the girl who has worked so hard to hold it in the palm of her hand, how can she let you take it away so easily! It's a dream! Wish for the moon!
Black clouds are pressing down on the city, thunderstorms are coming, Suzaku Street is not as lively as the daytime, and the vendors and bearers at this moment have all retreated, leaving only a few scattered shops selling oil-paper umbrellas and clothes. There are only a few teahouses and restaurants left in the whole street, and the land of smoke and willows is a little lively.
In the private room on the second floor of the Thousand Painting Pavilion, a man wore a green bamboo-colored robe, with an elegant belt around his waist, long hair tied in a crown, and a lazy posture. The man's lips are red and his teeth are white, the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned, and he is even more charming than a woman when he looks closely, and the tear moles in the corners of his eyes are more like a stroke of genius.
The man hugged left and right, tilted his head to this side for a while, swallowed the grapes fed by a woman, and turned his head to the other side, drinking a glass of wine handed by another woman, but his eyes fell on the graceful and enthusiastic dancer of the Western Regions in the audience.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and someone came to report his identity.
The man suddenly changed his expression, drove all the women in his arms out, and let the people outside the door in.
The man closed the door, walked up to the man, bowed his hand respectfully, and lowered his head: "Lord, I have failed again." ”
It turned out that this bewitching man was the valley master of the Valley of the Wicked.
Chen Nian looked disapplieving, he had already thought of it, he turned his wine glass: "Heh, who is Xiao Mochen?" Last time, he had a chance to get close to him because of a loophole, but now that he is scared, can he still obediently do nothing and wait for you to kill him? Don't worry, next time I'll use the sword passively, and I'll find a fun way to do it. ”
Chen Nian paused, and drained the wine in his hand, "Ah Yan, did you bring the drawings?" ”
Hearing this, Ah Yan hurriedly took out a drawing from his arms, spread it out on the table, and pushed it in front of Chen Nian.
Chen Nian slowly swiped the drawings with his fingers, only to see that it was a garden construction drawing, suddenly, his fingers stopped in a blank space, and clicked: "Add a swing here, look good, be firm, she has a lively personality, and this seat is afraid of smothering her." ”
When talking about "her", the corners of Chen Nian's eyes are gentle, the corners of his mouth are raised, and the unstoppable tenderness is like water, and it is charming.
Ah Yan was very surprised, and hurriedly replied yes, seeing that Chen Nian had nothing else to order, he put away the drawings and retreated.
After Ah Yan stepped back, Chen Nian leaned weakly on the chair as if he had been drained of strength. His eyes were glazed and his thoughts were confused.
When I saw her for the first time, she was still so small, only to his thighs, her eyes were bright and clean, and she was not afraid of people, so she loved to stick to him, hugging his neck, pink and cute.
Who knows, the time is so fast that people are caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. Now his girl has finally grown up, but she is always surrounded by a pack of vicious wolves.
As a man, you have to make some sense, he has waited for ten years, and he can't let others take the lead.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand to touch his face and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Before Xiao Mochen returned to the Floating Life Pavilion, it rained, lightning and thunder, and there was a painless assassination, but these bad things did not spoil his good mood.
When he returned to his lodgings, he warmed up a pot of sake and lay down in the soup pool that he had prepared. The heat was thick, the wine was warm, and I felt that the fatigue of the past two days had been swept away.
Soaking in the soup pool, Xiao Mochen would always unconsciously think of Lige, and the day they stayed in the carriage, the corners of his mouth could not be recovered. He gently shook the flask in his hand, and suddenly put it down, a dull brow between his eyebrows. He paddled to the bottom of the water, trying to numb himself with water, but to no avail.
Did that woman drug the king? After only an hour of separation, I began to think about her again. It's really like seeing you, I am lovesick, he muttered to himself.
This time, Xiao Mochen took a long time to take a bath, and when he returned to the room after washing, he found that there were people in the room early. He frowned and pursed his lips.
He doesn't like people coming into his room without saying hello, but there are always people who like to disagree with him.
"How did you get in?" With a cold tone, Xiao Mochen overflowed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Tang Linlang smiled embarrassedly, hurriedly brought a bowl of soup, and handed it to Xiao Mochen, "Knowing that Brother Mo Chen's brother was drenched in rain today, Linlang specially went to the back kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger soup for you, ginger soup can drive away the cold, so as not to get cold at night." ”
Xiao Mochen waved his hand and pulled off the coat on his body: "This king has taken a bath and driven away the cold, give this ginger soup to Xiaobei, he needs it more than this king." ”
Hearing this, Tang Linlang was stunned, and a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes. In the past, she also loved to boil all kinds of soup and medicinal food for him, although he had never drunk it in front of her, but he would never refute her intention to her face, but today he embarrassed her.
What kind of heart did she have in mind to boil this soup, would he not know, and let her take it for other men to enjoy. Heh, he has really changed, he was so happy when he first came in, and when he saw her, his face turned cold.
What the hell had she done wrong that made him feel disgusted when he looked at it now!
Tang Linlang put the white porcelain bowl back in the tray and turned his back to him, "Daddy has been looking for you today, if Brother Mo Chen still doesn't want to rest, let's go see him." After speaking, he picked up the tray and left, and when he left, he glanced at Xiao Mochen.
There was a bitterness at the corner of her mouth, and sure enough, he had already taken off the jade from his waist. In the past few days, the original position of hanging jade pendants before, now either hanging sachets, or hanging purses, those purses have different colors and different styles, the only similarity is that there seems to be nothing inside, dry and shriveled.
Several times she tried to ask him about the origin of the purse, but was blocked back. Oh, hide it so tightly, for fear she doesn't know it's that woman's thing?
Out of the room, Tang Linlang pouted with a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were fierce, and she slowly poured out all the ginger soup in the bowl, and the tray and bowl were thrown directly into the rain, the rain was very heavy, the rain was noisy, and the sound of the porcelain bowl falling to the ground was not abrupt.
The rain was still pouring in, the sky seemed to be broken, the rain did not stop at all, and the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and the branches of the trees shook the leaves viciously. When people look at and listen to it, they can't help but feel upset and irritable, and the hatred in their hearts is amplified little by little, like the rain that pours down, and they can't contain it at all.
Seeing that the raindrops drifting in outside the porch were about to wet the hem of his clothes, Tang Linlang raised his feet and left.
