Chapter 429: Staying in the Bamboo Tower
Seeing that the eldest princess was having fun in the hot spring, the housekeeper of the Xiangtang Pavilion smiled and said: "The eldest princess has slaves and maids to serve here, and a few girls can go to the next room, there is also a hot spring that leads to the past, but the pool is smaller!" ”
Shu Tong knew that his identity was different, Cuiyun was not as open as before, and waved his hand, "Then you guys go bubble too!" Has the snow stopped outside? ”
Mama smiled: "It's bigger than just now, it's darkening this day, and it is estimated that it will rain all night!" ”
Cuiyun walked to the window and saw that the snow flakes outside had indeed become larger, and the sky was gray!
"Oops, this day has really changed, I'll go back later, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to walk on the road!"
The housekeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, this is in the house and not outside, the eldest princess wants to go back and have a sedan chair to carry her." ”
"If you're afraid of snow and slippery roads, stay there! The second entry in the back deliberately left a bedroom for the master, and everything is good! ”
Cuiyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Look at me confused, it's still thoughtful!" ”
The housekeeper said again: "Dinner is also ready, Steward Tang has sent two live ducks, and the kitchen is ready to make duck soup, which is suitable for this kind of weather!" ”
Shutong ate two small snacks and nodded, "You are very well prepared, let's live here today!" ”
"Okay, I don't need anyone to serve you all here, let's go down in the ready-made hot spring pool!"
"Yes!" The maid prepared Shutong's clothes and put them on the hanger next to her before going out.
Shu Tong played alone in the hot spring pool for a while, and on a whim, he closed his eyes and crossed his knees and soaked in the pool water and began to cultivate.
By meditating and cultivating, you can only capture the subtle aura, but in this hot spring pool, there is another kind of comfort.
Slowly, her body and mind were at peace, and she entered a state of selflessness.
After soaking in the hot springs, the whole person becomes relaxed!
For dinner, Shutong drank two large bowls of delicious duck soup, and the maid led her along the verandah to the backyard.
At this time, the snow poured down and covered the whole world in a layer of silver.
When night falls, the snow everywhere brightens up the surroundings, and the light is better than usual at this time of year.
There is a small bamboo building in the backyard, the decoration is elegant and warm, and the boudoir of Shutong is on the second floor, and you can hear the rustling sound of the bamboo forest without opening the window.
She has always disliked to keep people at night, and the girls and mothers-in-law live downstairs.
Dredging lying on the window looking at the scenery, the snow had almost stopped, the hot spring in the front yard was steaming, and the snow was melting nearby.
More water vapor than in the daytime slowly diffuses, and it is a different kind of snow!
Looking up, the sky that had been gray before had cleared, and the extremely dark night was dotted with jewel-like stars, twinkling in the night sky.
It wasn't until late at night that Shu Tong went to bed.
At her level, it's okay if you don't eat or sleep for a few days!
The life experience of the last days made her always nervous, and she slowly learned to relax when she came to ancient times.
When it's time to sleep, I still go to bed and lie down, close my eyes and don't deliberately let go of my senses, but I can still hear the sounds outside.
In the cold winter, there is no birdsong and insect singing, but you can hear the occasional rustling sound in the bamboo forest, which is the bamboo branches bent by the snow, trembling and bounced back, shaking off the snow on the branches, making a sound.
Along with this sound was the shallow breathing of the maid of the night watch downstairs.
After a while, she was going to sleep.
Suddenly, there was a discordant gasp in my ears!
Shu Tong quietly opened his eyes, then closed them again, let go of his divine sense, and spread around with Xiaolou as the center, and soon grabbed the source of the voice.
On the wall of the tall backyard of the princess's mansion, there were two men in black under the roots of a dwarf holly tree.
Seeing the two men in black with their heads leaning on their heads, Shu Tong smiled secretly!
Under normal circumstances, it is no problem to wear black in the middle of the night, but it is snowing heavily today, and the world is white, and this black is too eye-catching!
One of them seemed to be wounded, and the other gasped eagerly and slowly.
"Master, how are you? Should I take medicine? ”
The other person's voice was relatively young, and he deliberately lowered it, "Don't worry, you can't die!" ”
After saying that, he vomited a mouthful of blood, but it was not obvious that he was wearing black clothes.
"Master, you vomited blood!"
The man chuckled, "It's just an old wound that asked you to prepare?" ”
The man before took out a hosta carved in the shape of a lotus flower, and this person took it, looked at it in the snowlight, and stuffed it into his arms!
"Go ahead, come back to me in three days!"
"Yes!" The man hesitated a little before climbing over the wall and leaving.
The man left behind cautiously poked his head out from under the holly tree, and a heavy snowfall obscured the garden.
He looked around and muttered in a low voice, "This garden under the snow seems to have grown!" ”
Finally, when he saw the bamboo forest of Xiangtang Pavilion, he smiled, "Fortunately, I didn't find the wrong place!" ”
With a sigh of relief, the whole person flew up, leaving shallow traces on the snow.
The man landed on the courtyard wall of the Xiangtang Pavilion and paused again.
At this moment, everything is quiet, as if he is the only one in the whole world who is still awake!
After looking closely, his face was a little hesitant, and he whispered to himself, "Why doesn't this place look right?" ”
After a moment's hesitation, he flew up to the second-floor window, because he noticed that the scenery in the garden was different, and this person was very cautious.
I waited by the window for a while, and found that the window of the attic was actually hidden.
He was secretly happy in his heart, tried not to make a sound, and opened the window and rolled in.
In the house, Shutong continued to lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, but his consciousness kept paying attention.
After seeing the man fall to the ground, he held his breath and waited until his eyes adjusted to the light in the room before moving cautiously forward.
It was found that this was a woman's boudoir, and the bedroom was separated by a beaded curtain, and his face relaxed!
Quietly came to the bead curtain, and could faintly see a woman on the carved bed, and besides, there was no one else in the room.
The man smiled at the corners of his mouth, and deliberately coughed backwards and fell to the ground.
Lying on the bed, waiting for someone to assassinate Shu Tong, he was dumbfounded, what is the situation?
This person was seriously injured and fainted?
Obviously, he flew all the way just now, and he didn't look like he was injured at all.
Dredging simply did not move and continued to observe.
But when he saw the man lying on the ground, he quietly opened his eyes and found that the person who had slept on the bed was not awake, and he coughed heavily.
At this time, Shu Tong finally saw his intentions and laughed silently.
Pretend to be woken up, rub your eyes and sit up.
Unhurriedly lit a candle and came out with a skirt.
Opened the bead curtain, pretended to have just found out, and exclaimed, "Ah! ”
The man who pretended to be stunned hurriedly closed his eyes, and Shu Tong stood in front of him, his eyes were like radar scanning, and he could be sure that this person's body was fine!
But why did he run into his room and pretend to be unconscious?
He didn't act like an assassin along the way!
What's even stranger is that she just got up to soak in the hot springs on a whim, and it's impossible for anyone to know that she's staying here, or maybe it's not aimed at her?
Shu Tong's mind turned sharply, thinking about various possibilities, and a pair of big eyes kept staring at the person who pretended to be unconscious.
That person is also experienced and determined, and tries to stay still, but for some reason there is always a feeling of being seen through.
