Chapter 368: Late Night Conversation
"Ruyi, face is just a kind of thing given by others, what I haven't done, and there's nothing to be ashamed of, why should I be afraid of other people's remarks? Tell me, did Chu Hongze really bully you? If he really bullies you, you tell me, and he will definitely find a way for you! ”
Mu Zirong listened to Wen Ruyi's words, and felt that he was really angry, he really wanted to put it in the palm of his hand as a woman who was the pearl of his palm, why was he so uncherished and bullied by Chu Hongze.
"Things are not what you think, he didn't bully me, it's just a ......" Wen Ruyi didn't want to say any more in the middle of his words, he felt that there was no need to tell Mu Zirong everything about this matter, although Mu Zirong was also really good for her, but she felt that her decision, as long as she felt that it was right, she didn't need to let others agree.
"He really didn't bully you?" Mu Zirong looked at Wen Ruyi's eyes and looked like he wanted to say something, although he didn't know what he wanted to say, but he didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask, so he had to calm down his mood and said to her: "If he bullies you, you tell me, no matter what the price is, I will protect you, don't think about it." ”
"Don't worry, I just suddenly wanted to talk to you about such a thing, and it's okay to see you so excited, when I didn't say it!"
Wen Ruyi felt that he still couldn't talk to Mu Zirong too thoroughly about the matter he was leaving, otherwise, he would definitely take this matter to heart.
Seeing him so excited, if he really wants to leave, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing.
Just when the two of them were chatting and talking, they heard footsteps and exchanges outside, Wen Ruyi's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly hit her heart.
"It seems that the emperor is coming!"
Wen Ruyi looked at Mu Zirong as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words, still standing in front of him, Wen Ruyi felt as if he was talking to a pig, and he was extremely angry.
"It's coming, it's coming, what's the big deal, is it possible that he can still eat me?" Mu Zirong's voice was trembling when he heard Wen Ruyi say that Chu Hongze was coming, and his eyes were also very panicked, as if he had done something unseemly, which made Mu Zirong very angry.
"It's just to talk to me, and you haven't done anything unseemly, so why are you so nervous?" Mu Zirong felt that he and Wen Ruyi were just chatting together, even if they were seen by Chu Hongze, it didn't matter, he just wanted to have a good theory with him.
"I'm not nervous!" Wen Ruyi couldn't help blinking her eyes after listening to Mu Zirong's words, and continued to say to Mu Zirong: "You are the prince of the enemy country, I am the queen of the Longteng country, we are two lonely men and widows in the same room, if the emperor breaks in at this time, he will definitely misunderstand us, and it may cause unnecessary trouble at that time, so you better leave quickly!" ”
Mu Zirong thought about it, after all, it was the dead of night now, and when he appeared in Wen Ruyi's room, no matter who saw it, he couldn't tell it.
"You hurry up, while the emperor is still outside, you still have a chance to leave, and if the emperor really breaks in, the two of us will really jump into the Yellow River and won't be able to wash it by then!"
"Then you must be careful, don't worry, I will come again!" Although he was unwilling, Mu Zirong also understood that now was not the time to meet.
Looking at the back of Mu Zirong jumping out of the window and leaving, Wen Ruyi's heart quieted down.
Chu Hongze, who was outside the Feng Palace, saw that all the maids who were supposed to be guarding outside were gone, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, so he asked the eunuch next to him, "What are these maids in the Feng Palace doing?" Why is no one out on night duty? ”
Looking at the empty room outside, and looking at the dim lights inside, Chu Hongze couldn't help but have extra thoughts in his heart, although he knew that it was not good for him to guess like this, but looking at the situation in front of him, he really couldn't control his heart, and always guessed about some other things.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang has never needed the slaves and maids to serve beside her, so she drove the slaves and maids out, and Niangniang is now reading books inside." The palace maid hurriedly came over to say goodbye, feeling uneasy.
"It's so late, and I don't turn the lights up a little bit when I read a book, what can I see in such a dim light, I really don't know how you serve people!" Chu Hongze was very dissatisfied when he heard the maid at the door talking to him like this, looking at the dim light in the room, if he was reading in this environment, he would feel that his eyes hurt.
"What the hell is the Queen doing in there?" Seeing these many doubts, Chu Hongze was very skeptical that the palace maid was telling the truth.
"Niangniang really read a book inside, probably because she was too fascinated by it, so she didn't hear any movement outside." At this time of the day, Wen Ruyi was reading a book in the house, and there was nothing else to do.
Looking at the maid's shrunken expression, Chu Hongze didn't say anything, and walked straight into the room.
"What for?"
As soon as Chu Hongze entered, he saw Wen Ruyi sitting at the table pretending to be reading, although she pretended to be very serious, but Chu Hongze still found something suspicious, in fact, she should not have looked into it at all, otherwise she would not have been in the same place for so long.
"You're here?" Wen Ruyi pretended that she was too fascinated by the book she had just read, so she didn't react, and hurriedly put the book on the table as she spoke: "Aren't you busy with a lot of things today, why did you come to me?" Is it because everything is done? ”
Wen Ruyi felt that she was really weak at this moment, and even the simple thing of picking up the teapot to help Chu Hongze pour a glass of water was always shaking.
"What's wrong?" Chu Hongze looked at Wen Ruyi's hands trembling all the time, and he was even more puzzled, although he always had a strange feeling when he came in from outside, but he didn't have any strangers in the room, so he really didn't know what happened to Wen Ruyi: "Why are your hands shaking so much?" Is there something wrong with your body? ”
After listening to Chu Hongze's words, Wen Ruyi tried her best to calm her mood, trying to pretend that nothing had happened just now, she just wanted to simply help Chu Hongze pour a glass of water, what happened?
"Ancient medical books?" Seeing that Wen Ruyi didn't answer, Chu Hongze had to pretend to be very casual and picked up the book Wen Ruyi was reading from the table, the book was simple, just such a simple three or two sentences and an illustration, nothing worth studying, but since Chu Hongze came in, Wen Ruyi looked at this page and never turned it: "Is there any special point on this page of this book?" Or is there anything particularly interesting about this illustration? As soon as I came in, I watched you look at the page without moving, as if it was particularly interesting. ”
Chu Hongze pretended to be very interested in holding the book in his hand, and looked at the painting on it carefully, and even looked carefully at the few words written in hairpin flowers next to him, and found that there was nothing special, so he continued: "It's just a simple painting, you have been reading it for a long time, and even the small words next to it I have seen it many times, I really don't see anything special, why don't you tell me about it, What the hell is there that I don't see. ”
"No, it's just a simple book, I don't think I have anything to do, so I'm just going to pass the time." I don't know why, Wen Ruyi always felt that Chu Hongze looked like he meant when he said these words.
"There's really nothing good about this book, if you really want to learn about it, I have a few books I can recommend to you, and I'll have someone send it to you later."
After Chu Hongze said this, he put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and walked around the bedroom, and found that there was nothing wrong, but he always felt that something was weird.
"That's great!" Listening to Chu Hongze's words, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, pretending to be very satisfied.
It's just that Chu Hongze has been going around this place in circles and doesn't leave, I don't know what he wants to do, and just now Mu Zirong just rolled over the window, which made Wen Ruyi really feel a little weak, and he didn't know how to face Chu Hongze, and he was also afraid that he would find any clues.
"Is there anything over the window? You've been looking that way ever since I came in! ”
Chu Hongze found that since he entered the room just now, although Wen Ruyi was talking to him on the surface, in fact, everything she said was coping, and her eyes looked at the window from time to time, as if she was afraid that something would be discovered by others.
"You're thinking too much, where are you looking at the window?" Wen Ruyi was startled instantly, quickly withdrew his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's pitch black outside the window, what can I see?" If it were in the daytime, I would like to look at it twice, but unfortunately, it is such a dark day, even if I want to see it, I can't see it, so why waste that time and energy? ”
"It's really dark!" Chu Hongze looked at the sky outside the window, it was already dark at this time, but he didn't know what to say at this moment, so he just answered casually.
