Chapter 34: Turbidity's Heart

I was speechless.

I don't know who wrote this letterhead that day, so I kept it carefully in the small drawer of the dowry and never destroyed it. I just laughed and laughed when I was a cloudy moon, but where did I think that she was so attentive to me.

"When did you find out?"

"It's been days... The slave waits for the girl to dress up every day, and what you put in each cabinet is naturally clear. Turbidity Moon burst into tears and said, "The slave knows that this is someone else's handwriting, but... But the slave doesn't know, who is writing this for you, and who are you who get along with the slave and maid day and night? ”

I watched the girl in front of me cast a tear-blurred but innocent gaze at me, and my heart silently grew with sour guilt and distress.

In my heart, the moon has always been so bright and happy, even in the most dangerous situation, I have never seen her shed a single tear. She seems to be born optimistic, always looking towards the sun. I now understand that the rain after seeing the sun is so heartbreaking, and it is the sun that brings her dark clouds.

"Turbidity Moon ......"

"The slave really thought about it for a long time. But the slave and maid don't understand, the slave and maid really can't figure it out......" Turbidity's hands were cold, but she still trembled and held my weak arm tightly. "The slave didn't dare to tell the Hou Ye, the slave knew that this might not be the truth that my little maid should touch. But girl, for the past month, the slave and maid have been serving you every day, and the slave and maid know you very well! You treat your subordinates well, thank Hou Ye, you are not the kind of person who will lie to Hou Ye and be unfavorable to Hou Mansion! But you always have so many secrets, so many things that slaves can't read... The slave is really confused, the slave really wants to ask you clearly! ”

I took Turbidity Moon in my arms and gently soothed her trembling body.

The cinnamon fragrance is quiet, which is the unique smell of this girl's hair.

When the curtain is lifted in the morning, when you massage at noon, when you take a walk at dusk, when you take incense before going to bed... I don't know when I developed a similar obsession with the taste. This is the smell of the fact that I have been alone in this Hou Mansion for the past month, symbolizing that my happiness and hope have never been extinguished.

However, now that the product comes, there can only be a sour and sad parting sadness in my heart.

"Turbidity, there are some things, don't say you don't know, how can I know it myself." I said gloomily, "I just know that I have my destiny, and I have a home that should belong to me." Outside of my homeland, you and Lord Hou are my only relatives. I can't do anything for you, but try to keep it as much as possible, or rather, try not to keep it at all. It's not that I don't want to, I really don't know how to tell you what happened to me, so I can only keep it. What I don't keep is my true feelings for you. Only in this way can I be comforted and feel a little bit of peace of mind about your efforts......"

"I don't understand, I still don't understand... Girl, I just want to know, are you sincere to me and to Hou Ye, and you have no lies? Turbidity straightened up and looked at me again with a pleading gaze, "Do you know who wrote this note, and do you plan to leave here one day suddenly according to the words on it?" ”

"I... How could I leave? I couldn't help but lie to Xunyue, "Didn't I just say that I am in Jiazhou City, and there is no one who can even talk to you except Hou Ye and you." If I can't live in such a good Hou Mansion, where can I go? ”

Turbidity was slightly stunned for a moment, and seemed a little incredulous at my words.

I tried to smile and make myself look happy and believable. I know Turbidity's loyalty, but I remember Wen Zhao's instruction that day that I should not tell anyone about my relationship with him, not even the most innocent of Turbidity. And the matter of leaving the house involves Wen Zhao, so even if he can't bear it, he has to be ruthless and hide the truth from Xunyue.

"The slave was sold into the Hou Mansion by her sister when she was young, and she has never had the privilege of serving any good master. Girl, meeting you is the only blessing in the slave's life. Turbidity stopped her tears and raised the corners of her mouth sweetly, "Except for the slave's sister, you can treat the slave and maid the best in the world." You are the first master of the slave maid to serve in the Hou Mansion, how the slave and the maid hope, you will also be the last and only one to serve the slave in this life! ”

I was speechless and choked - anything more would be a cruel lie.

I am about to leave, how can I make a promise to this girl who really treats me beyond the reach of half a sentence? Thinking of this, my heart became more and more sour, and I once again took the Turbidity Moon in my arms and gently caressed her thin back. The fragrance of osmanthus soaked into my heart, and I realized that for the rest of my life, I may not be able to feel the peace brought by this fragrance as greedily and contentedly as I did now.

"Turbidity, you're a good girl. Promise me, from today onwards, you will learn to protect yourself and never let anyone hurt you or bully you again......"

In this way, I appeased the turbid moon for a long time, and in a blink of an eye, I found that it was sunset.

There was a faint aroma wafting, and I walked out of the warm pavilion hand in hand, but we saw that the cooks outside had already wrapped all the colorful dumplings and placed them neatly on the drawer just to be put into the pot. The small kitchen in the east head was cooked, and the whitebait soup with lettuce was out of the pot, and the mellow fragrance overflowed the entire courtyard.

I thanked them one by one, and instructed everyone to leave only thirty dumplings for the Hou Ye to use when he came back in the evening, and the rest were all boiled and sent to the camp in the outer garden, and called a clever person to send a message to General Wen for me.

Everyone dispersed one after another, and Xunyue burned a charcoal basin outside and waited for Hou Ye with me. However, after waiting for nearly two hours, no one came to the courtyard to spread the word. I was a little anxious, so I pushed the door and looked at the gate of the courtyard, but I saw that there were stars outside, and it was already night. An armored soldier suddenly came in, trotted all the way, and when he reached me, he knelt straight down.

"Please even Miss Ann!"

"Get up," I wondered, "Is it the Hou Ye who has returned to the house, and the former sent you to deliver the message?" ”

"Back to the girl, the lowly position is a subordinate of General Wen of the Praetorian Guard, and I came to thank the girl for the general on the order of the general." The soldier replied, "The general also told the girl that he understood your intentions. The day after tomorrow, he will come to give the girl a return gift. ”

The heart fluttered. The day after tomorrow... Is it so fast?

I didn't have time to think deeply, but seeing the puzzled look on the face of Xunyue beside me, I had to ease my expression and replied slightly, "The general is polite." When the soldiers of Nafu received the order, they bowed their heads again, got up and took their leave.

"Girl... How could General Wen be so polite to you," Turbidity Moon Qi said, "It's just a dinner, what can he give you-"

"-Hou Ye!"

Turbidity Moon was startled and looked into my eyes towards the gate of the courtyard. Seeing that Hou Ye's gait was shaking, his figure flashed into the courtyard gate. We hurriedly greeted him, and when we got closer, we saw that there was a little guy behind Hou Ye supporting his waist, and when he saw me, he said with a bitter face: "Even girl." Hou Ye drank too much wine today, and the little one was going to send his old man back to Yiyunzhai, but——"

"——What is Yiyun Zhai, Ben Hou said a few times, even the girl will set up a banquet tonight..."Hou Ye shook his feet, and then said as if nothing happened, "Set up a banquet and spend the beginning of winter with me, what can Ben Hou do if he drinks some wine, you are making a fuss, it is really disappointing!" ”

"Master Hou!" I stepped forward to hold Hou Ye's arm and walked into the room, Yibi turned his head and frowned and said to the little guy, "Hou Ye is calm, why did you drink so much wine in the palace today?" ”

"Back to Miss Lian's words, the emperor in the palace today set up a winter banquet, but the Hou Ye wanted to have an appointment with you, and he rarely drank wine, so he asked the emperor to resign and return to the house early in the morning, although the emperor was not very happy, he didn't say anything serious in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military......

"Lord Hou offended the emperor...?" I felt guilty and reluctantly continued to ask, "But didn't Master Hou drink at all?" ”

"Yes! I didn't drink much in the palace, but Hou Ye just left the palace, and he was born by... was stopped by His Royal Highness the Prince, "The little guy looked embarrassed, "Our prince is really a failure, and he dragged the Hou Ye to his mansion to drink." Hou Ye couldn't excuse himself in every possible way, thinking about socializing a few words and coming back, who would have thought that the prince was depressed and depressed because he lost the princess a few days ago, and was depressed by the emperor's application, and he was looking for someone to accompany him for wine. Seeing that Hou Ye wanted to leave, he became more and more arrogant, and said that Hou Ye saw that the East Palace was losing power, and there was no prince in his eyes. Hou Ye couldn't, he had to accompany him for a long time before the prince was willing to let him go——"

"How can it be!" I said angrily, "Su Ri has heard a lot of absurd behaviors of that prince, and he has not repented after being scolded by his own father, but he has become more and more serious, isn't the Hou Ye his young master, how can he be so heartless, actually——"

"—Return to Hotaru! Don't talk nonsense..."Although the Hou Ye was a little confused, he was still cautious when he was drunk, "How can the prince be accused at will... Your Highness has always been close to me, and today I am really sad, that's why... ......"

Before Hou Ye finished his words, he was about to vomit as soon as he bent his body. I patted the Hou Ye on the back, and hurriedly ordered Xunyue to go back to the house to decorate, and let the little guy tell the small kitchen to cook a bowl of decanting soup. Step by step, extremely slowly, he finally carried Hou Ye into the room.
