Chapter 7: Intimate Deceased
The place arranged by the red sister-in-law for Ruoxi is very good, next to the back garden, there are flowers and plants nearby, although it is in winter, there are also a lot of plum transplanted from the north, but the plum blossoms in the north are in the south, obviously not adapted, only a few winters down, the so-called plum forest has been bare, and the rest are some black trunks with no appearance. It's like a flat-leaved pine, evergreen or something, it's still green and beautiful, Ruoxi only feels that the house is full of fragrant and emerald green smell here, compared to the fireworks in the evergreen hall, this place is already a paradise.
She only came back for a while, Ning Xiang's girl changed, pinched Ruoxi from head to toe, crying so miserably, Ruoxi persuaded her for a long time to let her stop her tears, in the middle Ning Xiang's tears rubbed against Ruoxi's face, so that the skin and flesh were extremely stinging, causing Ruoxi to scream several times before she endured it.
While slowly medicating this face, which was no different from a pig's head, Ning Xiang sulked while also seemed to be a little puzzled, and at the end, she put down the ointment and spoon, and asked softly, "Sister Ruoxi, what you said outside is true?" ”
Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, squinted at her, and her voice was flat, "What do you say?" ”
"I don't believe it," Ning Xiang sighed and shook her head, "You and I are mixed together all day long, and we have no time to separate at all, if you want to say that you have an affair with the Third Highness. Love, I'm the first one not to believe. ”
Ruoxi's heart warmed, and she was about to say something thankful, but she continued.
"Although you are usually very cunning, and two of the three sentences are intended to deceive people, you are still very good to me, I can see this. In fact, you know so much truth, and you can see things so clearly, how can you let yourself get into such big trouble? Besides, His Royal Highness has always liked a girl as beautiful as a princess, how could he take a fancy to Sister Ruoxi's face? ”
All the words of thanks were swallowed back by Ruoxi, and she rolled her eyes vigorously.
"Don't you say that I also know about you and Laifu's fat pig, since you came to the Evergreen Palace, she has regarded you as the number one enemy, and she usually looks at you as if she wants to kill you a thousand times. You stay away from her in the future, but don't suffer any more. Ning Xiang said very seriously, picked up a delicate small fan and gently fanned it next to Ruoxi's face, so that the ointment could solidify quickly.
The little wind blew Ruoxi with a cold shiver, waved away the small fan in Ning Xiang's hand, and said vaguely, "Don't fan, it's so cold." ”
"Hey Ruoxi, are you hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and bring you something to eat."
"No need, I'm just the time to memorize words now, don't always run to me, if you don't get people to think of you. I wouldn't be fine if I didn't eat one night......"
"Gollum...... ......"Ruoxi's stomach is honestly sending a signal of hunger, and at the same time, it is also very faceless to deny what she said earlier.
Ning Xiang burst out laughing and covered her with a quilt, "The brazier in your house is pitiful, I'll bring some food and coal over in a while, Sister-in-law Hong said that you have a cold wind in your wound during the day, and you will have a fever at night, and it is not good to be so cold in the house." After saying that, she walked out quickly, and before leaving, she turned back to her and said, "I'll come over when I'm done at night, don't worry." ”
Ruoxi shook her hand weakly, "Your sister Ruoxi is stiff, you can't die." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door shut, and lay quietly on the bed, listening to the whining sound of the cold wind blowing in through the crack in the window, everything seemed to go back to that night.
The princess of the dead country, who had escaped from death, fled to the deserted back mountain with her husband, who had been teaching her, and that night she had beaten a lot of rabbits, roasted a few, tied a few with ropes and put them in the cave, trying to tease the princess, who had not spoken a word, to speak. However, the princess that night was only in a daze at the dark sky, she lay on the straw mat that her husband laid for her, looking at the sky outside the cave, there was no star, and it was dark and desperate.
She also saw the gentleman who had never been spotless, his white clothes were stained with stains, and gradually stained by rabbit blood, and the mess was not good, and finally the two people quietly watched the rabbits on the shelves burn to black ashes, and no one took a bite.
That night, it was also as dark as tonight, but at this time, there was no white figure by her side, she was just alone at this time, of course, this was also the result of her own choice, and she couldn't blame anyone.
Ruoxi, who fell into the bed and was thinking wildly, felt a pain in her face, a cold and a little hot, and her mind became confused, and Ruoxi fell asleep in a drowsy state.
I don't know how long I slept, since I woke up at noon, Ruoxi has never drunk a sip of water, I woke up in the middle of the night only to feel dry mouth, like a fire in my stomach, I vaguely remember that when I came, I saw a water tank in the courtyard outside, and I struggled to get up, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I found that trouble was coming.
Her face was so swollen that she couldn't even open her eyes, and it was only a tiny gap when she opened her eyes with great effort, and she could barely see the outline of the scene clearly, and it seemed to have a faint layer of blood red, and she couldn't help but scold that Laifu in her heart for being vicious.
Step by step to the door of the house, Ruoxi realized how painful it was to have bad eyes, she couldn't see the road, and this place was a completely unfamiliar environment for her, even if such a short distance from the house to the courtyard was already sad for her. When she reached the door of the house, she crossed the threshold, but she forgot that there were two steps beyond the threshold. The ointment that had just been dried off on his face was rubbed on the ground and a few pieces fell off, and his face was not embarrassed.
What is a house leak that happened to rain overnight, Ruoxi really understood at this moment, supported her knees and got up, bending over and rubbing the painful places on her body, she didn't need to look at it to know that there were a few places that must have broken the skin.
There seemed to be a potted plant next to her, holding the potted plant shelf and moving little by little to the position of the water tank in her memory, and at this time, she realized how painful it is for people who have no eyes.
"What are you doing?" When she was struggling to rub forward, a beautiful male voice broke through the air, startling her to stay on the spot.
The sound of the ice cracking would always belong to him alone.
"You...... Is that the one in the afternoon? ”
Ruoxi subconsciously wanted to hide her embarrassed face, and suddenly remembered that the man in front of her couldn't see her, she smiled, twisted her stiff neck, knelt down for him in a proper manner, and performed a national salute, "The little one asks Lord Zhong for peace, Lord Zhong is healthy and auspicious!" ”
A trace of confusion flashed on Zhong Wuyan's handsome cheeks, he lowered his head, as if he wanted to get closer, Ruoxi felt his sense of oppression approaching, and he stepped back a little more than he could. Then she suddenly kowtowed again, "Thank you Lord Zhong for giving the sedan chair to the small one in the afternoon, the small one is really a blessing for several lifetimes, and I can sit on your luxurious sedan chair, and the small one's gratitude to you is like a surging river." ”
Zhong Wuyan listened to her without saying a word, his eyebrows and eyes were a little loose, his long black and thick eyelashes trembled, and he "looked" at her with his closed eyes, although he already knew that he couldn't see himself at all, but being "stared" at him like this, Ruoxi still felt a little cold.
"Do you know why I'm helping you?" Zhong Wuyan rubbed a withered vine and leaned on it, his eyes still looking at her.
Ruoxi reluctantly opened his eyes, and looked at him, he hadn't seen him for ten years, he had grown up, grown taller, and at the same time became more handsome and handsome, at the moment he was dressed in a gorgeous robe, black silk three thousand dragged behind his back, the moonlight hit his cheeks with a touch of confusion, a little sadness, and as cold and ruthless as ever, so that everyone who saw him was fascinated.
The child who smiled at her gently on the Chaoyang platform was already a noble son, and he was no longer the son of the prime minister of the Northern Underworld Kingdom, but the guest of the Qi Kingdom, Lord Zhong Wuyan.
In fact, Ruoxi couldn't see him at all, and what was reflected in her eyes was just a little bit of the color of his robe, and everything was so clear and natural reflected in her mind, as if she had thought a few years ago that he would become as handsome as he is today.
"Where is the mind of an adult, it is small that can be guessed." She was as humble as ever.
Zhong Wuyan smiled rarely, as if he was caught in a memory, and after a long time, he said lightly, "Your voice is very similar to one of mine...... Old friend. ”
Ruoxi knelt on the spot in shock, her hands couldn't help but tremble, and her body seemed to be soaked in ice water.
"Where is your home, what is your last name, what is your name? Who else is left in the family? ”
"The small family lives in front of the slope of Xinglin Mountain, and the family name is Bai, because there is a Ruoxi in front of the door, so the small one is called Bai Ruoxi. My parents died young, I have no brothers and sisters, only a distant cousin, and my cousin's family does not interact with my family because my family is poor. ”
"It's pathetic." For a long time, when the night wind blew through her single clothes, Zhong Wuyan slowly spit out these three words. Standing up by touching the vines, Zhong Wuyan walked out slowly, obviously he had fully adapted to the inconvenience caused by blindness, and was used to exploring the way of walking.
Ruoxi knelt on the ground and watched him walk away step by step, the figure became a little bit in the sight, and a part of her body began to numb with pain, she couldn't imagine how this noble and arrogant man accepted the fact that he was blind in both eyes, and how he began to get used to a life without light.
Well, he. After I lost my sight, I hated her to the bone.
Hate, hate, no matter how much he hates, it is not as deep as the hatred in her heart, and the pain in her heart is piercing. It was his father's treason, and his avoidance at the time, that led to the destruction of her kingdom, the tragic death of her family, and the fall of herself from the clouds of supreme honor and nobility to the bottom of the eighteen layers of hell.
When she was six years old, she knew that she would never forget this hatred in her life, and she would never forgive that person in her life! On her sixth birthday, she begged her husband for a birthday present, and she wanted his eyes that had fascinated her in the first place. The omnipotent gentleman really did, and when he came back in the evening, he handed her a box, gently, but with all the weight, and she remembered clearly how she cried and laughed while holding the box until she fainted.
The night breeze was cool, and the ground that had just fallen was already soaked in her clothes against the icy snow water.
"Just exchanged love tokens with this king, did you seduce Zhong Wuyan in turn? It seems that most of the women are water-based poplars. A bit of a joking voice sounded behind her, Ruoxi wanted to turn back, but forgot that her body had already frozen, and fell backwards, and then her body fell into a bergamot-scented embrace, strong and warm.
"If your face wasn't like this pig's head at this time, how useful nephrite would be in King Huaiben after such a flower." Before she passed out, she heard the man say this.
