The neat and consistent palace maids brought up the dishes for dinner one by one, and Pingshun generally understood Beigong Yu's mind better than others, and quickly served the food well, and retreated with everyone with a cigarette.

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't speak, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"You care about them?"

Beigong Yu picked up the soup spoon, filled a bowl of fresh soup, and handed it to Xia Xiaoxiao with a slight smile on his face.

Xia Xiaoxiao's puffed cheeks suddenly deflated, and he turned his head to stare at him, with an inexplicable expression, "What do I care about them." ”

They didn't have much to worry about.

Beigong Yu didn't speak again, but brought the bowl in front of him with his own hands, blew cool air into it one by one, handed the soup spoon to her mouth and smiled and coaxed, "Come, drink some soup to cushion your stomach first, aren't you hungry?" ”

The cooking skills of the imperial chef in the palace must be much better than that outside, from the moment these dishes were served, she was so tempted that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, she was not hypocritical, and directly snatched the spoon and bowl from Beigong Yu's hand, "I'll drink it myself." ”

"Well," she was really hungry, Beigong Yu watched her start to drink as soon as she got her hand, and hurriedly reminded, "Be careful of burning." ”

As soon as the food reached her mouth, she couldn't stop, and all the stuffiness she had before was left behind, she glanced at the table full of her favorite food, and then raised her eyes to look at Beigong Yu, who was only staring at her and didn't move the chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks and poked a plate of braised pork, "What are you just looking at me?" ”

Beigong Yu just began to eat at this time, he hasn't eaten much for a day since he came back, but after all, he has lived in the royal family since he was a child, and there are many rules, and eating is also pleasing to the eye, but the speed is still a lot faster than Xia Xiaoxiao, but he is more like deliberately, putting the speed to the slowest speed, and always habitually putting some of her favorite in her bowl, Xia Xiaoxiao also did not refuse, and all of them were stuffed into his stomach without any image.

The sky is getting late, and the whole imperial city is gradually lit up with palace lights, and the glass color at night makes the whole imperial city look brilliant and luxurious.

Xia Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed over by Beigong Yu and wiped her mouth, and drank a large cup of herbal tea, then rubbed her stomach that she had already eaten and couldn't hold up, and hiccuped fiercely, and almost all the dishes on the table were swept away by her alone.

Beigong Yu looked at her full of food and tea, and the corners of her mouth were hooked with a thick smile.

"You should have seen the Dusk Pavilion today, it's been too long and no one has lived there, so you can go there after I order someone to sort it out?"

Asked like this, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't have time to get up, Beigong Yu's hand had already wrapped his arms around her waist.

Xia Xiaoxiao thought about it, it seemed to be the case, the dust in the Dusk Pavilion was piled up with a thick layer, so he thought for two moments before he said lightly, "Then you hurry up and let people tidy up, I'll go sleep first, I haven't slept enough during the day." ”

She waved her hand, and came out of Beigong Yu's arms and headed towards her small side hall.

"Where are you going to sleep?"

Beigong Yu suddenly stopped her.

"Side hall."

Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at him, and said as a matter of course.

A sullen breath in Beigong Yu's chest finally had a faint tendency to explode, the huge Lingyun Palace, in addition to his couch, the small side hall where she used to live had a bed to sleep on, but obviously, she said so and did not plan to be with him.

He twisted his eyebrows and beckoned to Xia Xiaoxiao, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, but as soon as he arrived in front of him, he was hugged horizontally by the man in front of him!

"I've been tired for a day today, just right, together."

Beigong Yu hugged her without changing his face and walked in the direction of his dragon couch.

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes widened a little, staring at him almost sluggishly, and then smiled lowly, "Beigong Yu, do you really want to bring me back, or do you just want me to warm your bed?" ”

Beigong Yu put her on the bed, looking at the little woman in his arms staring at him with a pair of watery eyes, his eyes were moving, he couldn't say that he refused, but he didn't have much enthusiasm, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the corner of her mouth, and smiled lowly, "Yes." ”

"Fuck your uncle!"

Xia Xiaoxiao kicked Beigong Yu's knee with a kick, and warmed the bed, knowing that she was not in a good mood now, she didn't know how to coax her to say something nice?

This time she was wearing shoes, and when she went down, Beigong Yu's two sword eyebrows wrinkled together all of a sudden, "It's so unreasonable to go back to the palace." ”

The words are said like this, but the tone is not necessarily very serious, and even if you listen deeply, you can still hear a little pleasant taste.

Xia Xiaoxiao just stared at him like this, so angry that he couldn't even speak, until Beigong Yu smiled faintly, stood up from her, pinched her fleshy cheeks dotingly, and said softly, "If you're tired, just rest here, and I'll go and deal with some things and come back." ”

After speaking, he put down the curtain in front of the bed, the weather was hot, there were many mosquitoes, he lit some mosquito repellent incense in front of his bed, the smoke lingered, Xia Xiaoxiao stared at Beigong Yu's slender and bony fingers, slowly lowered the curtain from the curtain hook, his face was separated from the bed by the tulle, faintly, looking through the curtain, the begonia flowers on it seemed to be printed on his face, very demonic.

In the end, he didn't forget to instruct, "Just your broken house, there are many mosquitoes in the middle of the night, you are not afraid to pass." ”

Through the smoke and tulle, Xia Xiaoxiao could still see the low smile on his face, as if he had concluded that she loved a comfortable environment.

He turned around and went out, his steps were light, he was a person with a foundation in martial arts, and he couldn't make a sound when he walked.

He was dealing with business either in the imperial study or in the Lingyun Palace, and there was a large screen painted by a beautiful woman outside, and the sound of Pingshun coming in and putting down the fold could be faintly heard.

Xia Xiaoxiao got up, hung the thin curtain with a hook again before lying down again, leaned sideways, one hand comfortably pillowed behind his head, and the other hand was on his cheek.

She looked straight over, and as soon as she showed the long screen, she was in front of her, and the screen seemed to have been changed, and when she was here half a year ago, she still used a landscape painting of landscapes and birds. The picture of the beauties, almost extending from one side of the window to the other end, Xia Xiaoxiao counted, there were seven or eight beauties, the background was about a courtyard, all of them were showing, and even the ones they wore were so little, almost a layer of tulle, Xia Xiaoxiao thought, what kind of aesthetic vision is Beigong Yu, the key is the beauties above, she thinks the appearance is not so good-looking.

Men are still good, especially Beigong Yu, with so many concubines and concubines in the harem, he doesn't look enough, and even puts such an eye-damaging thing in the sleeping place.

Beigong Yu looked so well-dressed on the outside, but in fact, he didn't know what dirty things were thinking about in his head, Xia Xiaoxiao turned over sullenly, today is only a day, and those women in his harem may still come to greet him.

I had already thought about this when I decided to come back, but it's one thing to want to see it, and it's another thing to actually see it.

The room was silent, Beigong Yu's candlelight outside came through the screen, casting a shadow on the ground, green smoke curled in the small smoke stove at the head of the bed, and the light and familiar cloud fragrance lingered in the room.

It seemed like a dream but not a dream, as if she was awake or not, she seemed to hear the name again, and called her over and over again, Ze Iridium.

The pain, the pain that had never been seen before, was only a moment all over her body, and she didn't even know where it was coming from.

She only felt that her vision was blurred by flesh and blood, she fell in a pool of blood, looking at the sky, the sunset was gorgeous, even the sky was dyed red, there was a man walking unhurriedly, she almost exhausted all her strength to raise her eyelids, but she couldn't see the man's face, listening to his voice full of sneer and disdain sounded in the cold air, "Look, this is the man you believe in." ”

"So, you're here to laugh at me?"

She smiled lowly, which should have been sad, but she smiled unconcernedly.

"I let the Pure Law warn you, you never believe it, you only believe in yourself."

The man said plainly, a neat ink robe out of place in the blood, "Since the day you appeared with that thing, the world has been in chaos. ”

She didn't need to look to know that the man must still be holding the twelve-bone fan in his hand, even if he stepped on the bloody road of this fight, there must be no dust under his feet, so she closed her eyes and asked softly, "Is it the world that is chaotic?" ”

She suddenly remembered the day she first came to this place, the blue sea and blue sky, the scenery they couldn't see there, and a sea of jacaranda flowers, shining at night, she suddenly laughed, and the pain in her body no longer allowed her to work so hard, but she laughed more presumptuously, loudly, and even mockingly.

"It's the world that is chaotic"

Listening to her rhetorical question, the man finally wrinkled his eyebrows, seeing that she was almost out of breath with laughter, and the tears that had just dried from the corners of her eyes were all over her cheeks, mixed with the blood of unknown people, she sneered again, "But, that's my thing, how did it become a bad thing in their mouths?" ”

"Is it the world or the human heart that is in chaos?"

She raised her hand and muttered, as if asking the man, as if asking herself.

The dried blood stains condensed directly on the eyelashes, staring at the dirty and bloody palms, so much blood, she saw it for the first time, there were his own, and there were others.

At last, even the last bit of strength in her body was gradually lost, and the pain had become numb, and she suddenly remembered that when the great battle had been there, in the vast sea of people, she had found him at first sight, and then he had pierced her chest with his spear, and the eyes that had been fascinated for a thousand days and nights were cold and nothing, and he said, "You should not have appeared." ”

"No one can move my country."

"For a thousand days and nights, I will leave you with your whole corpse."

"If you say that you love you and can make you willing to die, you should be like this."

A fire burned out in front of her, despair, helplessness, anger, sadness, and the fear that surged up from the bottom of her heart was like a thousand pounds of boulder that overwhelmed her.

Then, as if from the most distant and ancient place, mixed with thousands of murmurs that I don't know whether it was pain or despair, echoed in her ears over and over again, like the most intimate and ambiguous aftertaste between lovers:

"Iridium Iridium Ze Iridium"

Xia Xiaoxiao trembled suddenly, her pupils constricted and stared at the curtain of begonia flowers outlined above her head, and the scenes in the dream seemed to still appear in front of her, frightened.

"Awake?"

Beigong Yu's face was gloomy, and his two thick eyebrows were deeply wrinkled together.

"Miss Xia should have had a nightmare, the emperor doesn't have to worry too much"

Pingshun was also taken aback by Xia Xiaoxiao, and when he saw him wake up, he immediately handed a handkerchief to Beigong Yu, but the comfort was so comforting, not to mention Beigong Yu, just now Xia Xiaoxiao's pale face, he was a little worried.

Beigong Yu directly took a cold handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat off her forehead little by little, put his hand on her forehead, and said worriedly, "Have a nightmare?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed sweating profusely, and he was stunned at first glance, and he was still saying something from time to time, he came to call her, but she didn't wake up no matter how she was called, and her heart sank several degrees.

"Hmm."

The cool breeze outside was gusting for a while, and Xia Xiaoxiao saw Beigong Yu in front of her clearly, her face was ugly, and Beigong Yu didn't seem to be much better.

"Rest and sleep."

Beigong Yu helped her up from the bed, and smoothly took a cup of herbal tea, Xia Xiaoxiao still felt a headache after taking a sip, and as soon as her hand was on her forehead, her eyes inadvertently swept to the incense burner at the head of the bed.

"What's wrong?"

Beigong Yu followed her gaze and glanced at the incense burner at the head of the bed, at this time most of the incense in it had been burned, and even the light smoke was a little less.

"It's okay, maybe I'm not used to the incense in the palace."

Xia Xiaoxiao waved his hand, only then did he find that his other hand had been held by Beigong Yu, and then he said in a deep voice to Pingshun, "Go and change the incense," turned his head, and with the side of his clothes removed, he got into the quilt and hugged Xia Xiaoxiao, "With me, there will be no more nightmares." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was almost semi-forced next to him and fell back on the bed, she smiled with her eyebrows, "You don't approve it?" ”

"Read it again tomorrow."

Beigong Yu lowered the curtain again, separating the entire bed from the room outside, the begonia flowers on the curtain bloomed bewitching under the dim candlelight, and with the breeze blowing in from the window, Beigong Yu suddenly lowered his head, and his lips fell on Xia Xiaoxiao's forehead, "What did you dream about?" ”

"It's nothing, I don't remember when I wake up."

Xia Xiaoxiao's smile was about to rise at the corner of her lips again, but fortunately, she lowered her head and Beigong Yu couldn't see it.

"It's good if you don't remember." Beigong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but no matter how much Xia Xiaoxiao tried to hide it, he couldn't hide the palpitations in his eyes, saying that he had forgotten, but in fact, he just didn't want to tell him.

The wind at night was also strong, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep when she closed the window, no matter how strong the wind was, it was summer in the end, but Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lean into Beigong Yu's arms, and she didn't even dare to close her eyes.

She hadn't had this dream once or twice, but after each night, whether she remembered the strange and familiar dreams or not, she always had no sleep.

The night is getting deeper, the night is long, Xia Xiaoxiao slept for so much before, but Beigong Yu has not rested all day, as soon as he lies down at this time, coupled with the person in his arms, all the tiredness and peace of mind come up, Xia Xiaoxiao soon heard the sound of steady breathing from the person next to him.

Pingshun quickly brought in a new incense from the outside, he pushed the door open, Xia Xiaoxiao immediately made a booing gesture, Pingshun glanced at Beigong Yu on the bed, understood, changed the incense with his hands and feet, and by the way, he also put out the night candle before tiptoeing out.

There was no candlelight, but the person was lying beside her, through the bright and dark moonlight, she could still see Beigong Yu's appearance clearly, and she found that these days, Beigong Yu seemed to like to say what he was saying to her.

After listening to it a lot, I somehow liked it.

What about love words, a man like Beigong Yu is the best at talking about love.

Xia Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed again, how could she take off her armor and surrender so easily, biting her lip, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, she raised her head slightly, and quickly, her lips were imprinted on Beigong Yu's meager lips, and she retreated as soon as she touched it.

In the night, Xia Xiaoxiao blinked twice, like a child who had eaten candy, her heart was pounding, her face was dyed pink, and she was so hot that she couldn't do it.

Seeing that Beigong Yu showed no signs of waking up for a long time, she gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and her previous mood of being a little irritable and anxious improved a lot.

At this moment, Beigong Yu's arm that had been holding her suddenly tightened, Xia Xiaoxiao was startled, her whole body tensed instantly, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Little Xia'er"

A soft, almost whispering sounded in Xia Xiaoxiao's ears, and Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Beigong Yu didn't wake up, but slept more deeply.

Xia Xiaoxiao raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on the corner of his lips, unlike the majesty he was in front of Pingshun during the day, and his eyebrows and eyes softened a lot, and even with a faint smile, the deepest piece of Xia Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to have been touched by something suddenly, a little sour.

Following.

When Xia Xiaoxiao woke up, it was already three poles of the sun, the scorching sun was shining outside the window, and Beigong Yu had already gone to the early dynasty.

She just woke up when she bumped into Pingshun and came back, and led a person behind her to walk in with broken steps.

"Miss Xia, can you get up?"

Through the screen, Ping Shun lowered his head and asked tentatively.

"I just woke up," Xia Xiaoxiao yawned loudly, "I haven't dressed yet." ”

When Ping Shun heard this, he turned his head and nodded to the person behind him, motioning for him to go in, and the woman behind him immediately nodded, took a big stride, and went behind the screen.

"Miss Xia, the things that the emperor ordered the servants to do have been arranged, Miss Xia should live in Lingyun Hall first."

Xia Xiaoxiao raised her head at this time, and when she saw the person coming out from behind the screen, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she thought, Pingshun this guy, and didn't forget to tell her that Beigong Yu arranged such a thing.

"Father-in-law, you go down first."

It's just that Xia Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to say anything to Pingshun now, she turned over and sat up from the bed directly, and the woman who had already walked to the bed let go, and the kitten she was holding in her arms jumped directly onto Xia Xiaoxiao's lap.

Xia Xiaoxiao smiled, brushing the soft white hair on the bun, this little guy still remembered her.

"Master"

Before Xia Xiaoxiao could react, Qingyue's knees had already fallen to the ground with a pop.

"Qingyue, what are you doing?"

Xia Xiaoxiao panicked and threw the bun directly at the head of the bed.

"The master and slave still think that you won't come back, how can you not clear the moon?"

Qingyue wiped her nose and sobbed as she spoke, her eyes as red as a rabbit.

Xia Xiaoxiao supported her forehead, this girl has been with her for three years, and she is also clear about her sentimental nature, but she almost lost her life when she escaped from the palace, where can she take Qingyue with her?

"Come on, won't this come back, take you next time, take you next time."

She stepped forward and pulled her up, a little perfunctory.

"Huh?"

How do you know that Qingyue was shocked again when she heard this, "Master, you still want to leave?" ”

"Ahh

Xia Xiaoxiao glared at Qingyue, and then looked at Pingshun who was guarding the door through the window, if Beigong Yu heard this again, she felt that she might not have a good life.

Qingyue immediately shut up, even a little aggrieved, now her master knows that this is a matter of losing her head, why didn't she think about it when she ran out.

Xia Xiaoxiao had already turned around to tease the bun who was sleeping on the bed, Qingyue smiled, it's okay, as long as her master comes back, those past are gone, it will always be fine, besides, her master is sleeping on the dragon couch now.

Qingyue brought her clothes, Xia Xiaoxiao put them on lazily, looked at Qingyue's eyes that were still a little red, and sighed, this person, just can't be served, she didn't do anything by herself when she was alone outside the palace, and now when she arrived in the palace, there was someone who served her, and she really didn't bother to lift a finger.

Qingyue was so much shorter than her that her hands had to be raised when she changed her clothes, Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze inadvertently fell to her forearm, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

Qingyue seemed to notice Xia Xiaoxiao's gaze, and took her hand back in a little panic, "Master, the slave will go and feed the buns some food first."

As he spoke, he bypassed Xia Xiaoxiao and was about to hug the sleeping bun on the bed, but was interrupted by Xia Xiaoxiao's cold voice, "What's the matter with your hand." ”

"It's okay"

Qingyue lowered her head, Xia Xiaoxiao had already turned around, just in time to see the horror flashing in her eyes.

Xia Xiaoxiao was fast, an arrow stepped forward, clasped her wrist, and lifted her long sleeves, when she saw the ugly scar on her hand, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but take a hard breath, Qingyue was anxious, and she didn't dare to push her.

From the small arm to the arm, from the left hand to the right hand, and then from the shoulder to the chest, in these places she has seen, ugly scars are almost all over her body, the palace maid does not wear many clothes in summer, but they are not very thin, but Xia Xiaoxiao no longer dares to look down, and even the hands holding her clothes begin to tremble uncontrollably.

"Master, don't look at it, it will scare you"

Qingyue finally took a step back, and put on Xia Xiaoxiao's messy clothes again, but Xia Xiaoxiao's hands were still in the air, those scars had already formed scars and grown flesh, she had seen exactly the same ones on Yun Xiao's body, most of them were left by soldering irons and long whips.
