Chapter 8 Waiting for leisure has not changed people's hearts
Luo Hansheng glanced at Xiao Wu: "You are used to speculating about the master's mind."
Xiao Wu immediately lowered his head when he heard this: "My subordinates know their mistakes."
Luo Hansheng's mood improved, and the speed of handling official affairs was much faster, and the official affairs that could only be handled in two or three days had been handled by midnight.
Luo Hansheng walked out of the study and walked through the corridor back to his bedroom, a bowl of lotus seed soup on the table attracted his attention, and he touched the wall of the bowl, which was almost cold, but there was still a meager temperature.
He summoned the subordinates on duty at night and asked, "This lotus seed soup was given by the second lady?"
The maidservant on duty at night blessed her body and replied: "It was sent by Lian'er, and I think it should be the meaning of the second lady." It should be cold after a long time, but do you need the slave to take it hot?"
Luo Hansheng replied, and he was in a good mood, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips: "No need, you can go down."
After the maidservant went down, Luo Hansheng picked up the lotus seed soup and scooped it up. The soft and glutinous sweet taste is refreshing, but there is a slight bitterness when you taste it carefully, and I think it is the water that has been boiled with lotus hearts.
Originally, I was a little hungry, but this bowl of lotus seed soup filled the gap in my stomach. Luo Hansheng took off his robe and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Luo Hansheng woke up to the sound of cooking tea.
On the other side of the screen, Ruoyan sat on a round stool, fiddling with a set of tea sets on the table. Next to the table was a small red clay stove with a pot of water boiling on it.
Ruoyan's aqua blue skirt hung on the ground, lining the room a little more angry.
Her melodious voice was a little joking: "Xiangye can really sleep, it's already hour." Are you lazy and sleepy if you don't go to court today? ”
The maidservant heard the commotion and came in and brought her ironed clothes behind the screen. Luo Hansheng got dressed and turned out from behind the screen.
Ruoyan glanced at him, frowned, stood up and walked in front of Luo Hansheng, straightened Luo Hansheng's collar, and sat back on the chair.
Luo Hansheng stood in place and was stunned, until Ruoyan asked, "Do you want tea?" only to come back to his senses.
Xiao Wu suddenly came in and said hello to Luo Hansheng: "Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, and the forbidden army has stopped at the door." ”
Luo Hansheng got up and rubbed Ruoyan's head: "You wait for me to come back in the mansion." ”
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, the general of the forbidden army led by him took a step forward and saluted him: "The last general will meet Xiangye!"
Luo Hansheng arched his hand to the visitor: "General Lin stopped him, but what's the matter?"
Lin Feng said respectfully: "Your Majesty urgently summoned the prime minister into the palace. It is said that there is something important to discuss. ”
"Xiangye, please."
Luo Hansheng boarded the carriage and entered the palace.
Ruoyan looked at the back of the carriage behind the door of the mansion and was faintly uneasy.
After lunch, Ruoyan sat in the gazebo of Huayan Courtyard all afternoon. On the stone table were a few books of poetry that had been turned into a mess.
By evening, Luo Hansheng hadn't come back yet. Ruoyan didn't have much to think about for dinner, so she took Lian'er and waited for Luo Hansheng to come back at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It was getting completely dark, and the cold wind was still a little biting on my body. Lian'er took the cloak and put it on Ruoyan, and persuaded: "Second Miss, I'm afraid that Xiangye will be late when he comes back." It's windy at the door, and it's cold at night, so let's go back to the house and have something to eat. ”
Ruoyan nodded: "Okay."
As he spoke, Luo Hansheng's carriage appeared in Ruoyan's field of vision from the other end of the street. The carriage was moving quickly, but it was only a few moments before it reached the door.
Luo Hansheng lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and when he saw Ruoyan sweeping away the haze, he smiled: "Why are you waiting here?" What should I do if I freeze to death?"
"I wonder why you were suddenly summoned to the palace? How did you go for so long? ”
"Nothing serious, don't worry." Luo Hansheng covered the unnaturalness in his eyes and said with a smile.
Luo Hansheng hid it very well, and Ruoyan didn't find anything wrong.
"Have you had dinner?" Luo Hansheng asked.
"Not yet."
"Let's use some together. I'll go to bed early. Luo Hansheng rubbed Ruoyan's head.
"What about you?"
"I have to do business at night. I took leave with Your Majesty, and I will be busy these days. I can accompany you in two days. ”
"Why do I need you to accompany me? All you have to do is make a promise to cut yourself after a month. Ruoyan turned around and left.
Luo Hansheng stood at the door with an embarrassed and lonely face. He thought that a good day like the morning could be maintained, but he underestimated the hatred that Ruoyan had in his heart. It turns out that everything is just for him to cut himself? His face is really ruthless.
Ruoyan returned to the courtyard and closed the door and drove the maids and servants out.
She clumped herself up on the bed, crying so hard that her shoulders trembled.
"Yun Ruoyan, have you forgotten? He's not your Sheng brother anymore. He's the murderer of your family! You can't, you can't be emotional about him anymore. Ruoyan cried and said to herself.
"Why are you so spineless. Why can't you resist his tenderness after so many years of hating. No, no. ”
"But I just like him. How could I not like him?" Ruoyan muttered.
Although Luo Hansheng was sad, he still couldn't restrain his steps, and unconsciously walked to the gate of Huayan Courtyard.
The begonia flowers have fallen, and a layer of fallen flowers is laid in front of the door, which looks so messy and messy.
Luo Hansheng stood in front of the courtyard gate and hesitated, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Luo Hansheng hesitated for a moment and stepped into the courtyard. As soon as I entered, I saw the maids and servants standing in front of the door one by one, waiting in fear. Luo Hansheng frowned and asked, "What happened?" What are you all doing here?"
Lian'er hurriedly took the maid and servant woman to salute Luo Hansheng, and said in a panic: "Second Miss locked herself in and didn't let us in." The slaves and maidservants were worried. I didn't dare to disturb Xiangye. ”
"Well, you all go down."
After everyone left, Luo Hansheng walked to the door and knocked on the door and called, "Yan'er?"
Ruoyan sat on the bed and did not respond, but accepted the crying.
Luo Hansheng frowned and glanced at Xiao Wu, who was guarding at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Wu walked over briskly and handed over a lacquered gold knife as thin as a cicada's wings.
Luo Hansheng inserted the knife into the crack of the door and easily cut the latch. Ruoyan panicked when she saw the door latch broken, wiped the tears on her face and covered herself in the quilt.
Luo Hansheng entered the door and sighed when he saw a big bag bulging out of the bed. Sit on the edge of the bed and try to pull off the covers.
Ruoyan reprimanded in a sullen voice: "You go out."
"Are you hiding from me in the quilt like this? Beware of stuffiness. ”
Ruoyan's eyes turned red again: "You leave me alone, go out."
"How can it not be cared for? Behave, come out. Don't suffocate yourself. ”
Ruoyan listened and tightened the quilt, for fear that Luo Hansheng lifted the quilt and saw her red-eyed and embarrassed.
Luo Hansheng saw that she didn't come out, so he quickly lifted the corner of the quilt and covered himself in. He hugged Ruoyan's thin shoulders and asked, "Crying?"
Ruoyan didn't answer.
"You still hate me." It is not a question sentence that is spoken, but an affirmative sentence.
"Want revenge?" Luo Hansheng smiled, "I must have thought so." ”
Luo Hansheng stuffed the lacquered gold knife in his arms into Ruoyan's hand, and before Ruoyan could react, the knife had already sunk into Luo Hansheng's shoulder blade and pulled it out.
The strong smell of blood filled the bed. Ruoyan reacted at this time, threw off the knife, lifted the quilt, and cried loudly outside the door: "Come on, Langzhong, please Langzhong!"
Luo Hansheng's face turned a little pale because of the pain, and he even laughed after enduring the severe pain: "Does my Yan'er care about me?"
Ruoyan stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Luo Hansheng and cried and scolded: "Luo Hansheng, you fool." Are you sick? You idiot, why are you so nasty! ”
Luo Hansheng laughed even more: "Yan'er, I hurt."
"You deserve it! Why are you stabbing yourself! It hurts! Having said that, Ruoyan hurriedly pressed the wound to stop the bleeding, and tears fell down the ground.
At this time, Lian'er and Xiao Wu rushed in with Lang Zhong in the house.
Lang Zhong gasped when he saw Luo Hansheng's blood all over his body, and pulled off the clothes on Luo Hansheng's shoulders to check the wound. The wound was a little deep, and the white flesh was turned out. Lang Zhong took out the medicine and applied it to the wound, and then stitched the wound with needles and threads.
After treating the wound, Lang Zhong went down. Xiao Wu endured it for a long time and asked Ruoyan angrily: "Did you stab Xiangye with a knife?" Why are you so vicious?"
Luo Hansheng said in a gloomy face and in a deep voice: "Little Wu, go down and get twenty boards by yourself." I stabbed myself and stabbed myself, what happened to Guan Yan'er? What are you yelling at here? ”
Xiao Wu responded with a fist clenched and went down indignantly. Lian'er saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly retired.
When everyone went out, Luo Hansheng spread the scoundrel on the bed and said, "The wound hurts so much, I'm going to sleep here tonight."
Ruoyan wiped away her tears and said, "Where do I sleep when you sleep here?" Why are you such a scoundrel? ”
"You take care of me, I'm a wounded now."
"Didn't you hurt yourself so badly? I don't care about you. Ruoyan stood up and was going out.
"Yan'er, I hurt." Luo Hansheng grabbed the corner of Ruoyan's clothes and said aggrievedly.
Ruoyan hurriedly checked Luo Hansheng's wound: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Is it cracked? Where does it hurt? ”
Luo Hansheng chuckled: "I don't feel pain if you accompany me."
If you are thin-skinned, how can you stand his teasing? Immediately blushing, he was about to run away from Luo Hansheng, and said in a panic, "I'll pour some tea."
How could Luo Hansheng let her go so easily? grabbed her sleeve and pulled it into his arms, and hugged Ruoyan into his arms. He buried his head in Ruoyan's neck and whispered, "Don't run away, I'm afraid I'll lose you again." Let me hold it for a moment. ”
Ruoyan was already easy to be soft-hearted, and his hard heart turned into a soft finger when he was so young, and he was quietly hugged by Luo Hansheng.
"Do you still care if I am? It's just that you can't forget the blood feud, right? Luo Hansheng asked.
"If you know, why do you provoke me to soften my heart and put me in a dilemma?" Ruoyan closed her eyes and held back her tears, and said coldly.
"But, Yan'er. Where do I get my self-control in front of you? I can't restrain myself from approaching you. ”
Ruoyan gently pushed Luo Hansheng away, and smiled sadly with tears: "Luo Hansheng, the past affection is in the past. There's so much between us. ”
"I can't get by!" Luo Hansheng hugged Ruoyan, his body trembled slightly, "Yan'er, I love you." You know that. After so many years, I was ready to die alone. But you're back, and you hate me. I love you, but I dare not say anything about marrying you. ”
Ruoyan didn't respond, just cried silently.
"It doesn't matter if you love me or not, it's good if I love you. All I beg you is not to reject me. Luo Hansheng said bitterly.
