Chapter 159: The Lake of Forgetfulness
When the first rays of the morning sun rose, the earth was gilded with a golden halo, warm, a little hot, and summer had arrived.
The birds were chirping in the trees, and even the bugs were getting up early in the morning for their food.
"Ruoxi girl, why don't you rest for a while?" Qiu Ming, who was sleepy and asleep outside the door, was awakened by a little noise, she rubbed her worried eyes, looked at Ruoxi who had changed her clothes, her hair was lightly pulled, and she just tied a knot to wrap her black hair around her head as she wanted. She was wearing a cyan silk dress, and her bright texture showed off her thinness.
It's just that there is obvious tiredness in her eyes.
She knew she had not slept all night.
Ruoxi seemed stunned when she saw her, and sighed, "You kid, why didn't you go back to sleep?" Didn't I come back last night and tell you to go to rest? ”
There is anger in the words.
Qiu Ming lowered her head a little frightened, and said cowardly, "I...... Wrong. ”
Ruoxi looked at her soft and soft appearance, softened her heart again, and took her cold hand, "I know you're worried about me, but even if you don't want to go, you should go into the house and wait for dawn, why do you sit outside alone, look at this hand, it's as cold as something." ”
Qiu Ming's eyes were red again, Ruoxi hurriedly stopped, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, now go back to the kitchen to get a bowl of ginger syrup to drink, to drive away the cold, although it is summer, but it is always heavy at night, it is terrible to go on like this." ”
Qiu Ming nodded, turned around and left, Ruoxi took her hand and didn't move, she looked back, "Does Miss Ruoxi have any other orders?" ”
"Is it okay not to let a third person know about last night's incident?" There was a clear meaning of supplication in her gaze.
"yes, I know." Such an awkward encounter, she definitely didn't want superfluous people to know, Qiu Ming understood this truth.
She left. In the morning light, Ruoxi was the only one left, looking at the clouds in the sky getting thicker, and his expression was sad.

"Treasure Flame!" Wei Sa closed the paper in his hand, and for half a night, all the ministers he saw mentioned about the general's Huaqi, some agreed, some opposed, and some watched from the wall. After all, this great general Hua Qi is a figure who is both good and evil, not to mention that he has such a mysterious younger brother, let's just say that the various estrangements between him and the lord of the country before Wei Ying are enough for these ministers who see the wind and rudder to speculate on the holy will.
Even if they wanted to break their heads, they wouldn't have thought that he would have already won the Great General Hua Qi! Bao Yan came in at this time, holding a copper basin and towel in his hand, "Your Highness, freshen up and rest." Wei Sa got up and stretched, stretched his muscles, and sat all night, his body was sore. I washed my face comfortably and rinsed my mouth again, and I felt much refreshed. Taking a towel to wipe his face, Bao Yanshen mysteriously leaned over, touched his hand into his arms, and took out a letter, the shape of the letter was very peculiar, as if it had been rolled up and then unfolded, and it was slightly curved with a little arc.
"What's the matter, it's so mysterious." Wei Sa threw the towel to him, took the letter, unfolded it, and saw a light in front of him, which was a very short letter taken out of the flying pigeon's foot ring, sealed with wax paper, and no one had seen it.
Could it be him......
When he opened it, the joy on Wei Sa's face was even worse, and he slapped his thigh, "Bai Jiang really didn't disappoint me!" That's great! Bao Yan looked at his master's rare joy, and laughed, Wei Sa didn't say, he also guessed where this letter came from.
Bai Jiang was ordered to set off from the capital half a month ago, and met the secret team of Huaqi entering Beijing, and in the tavern, the two had a long talk. Bai Jiang's extremely enchanting man, as a lobbyist of the Third Highness Wei Sa, skillfully used three inches without rotting, his tongue was like a spring, and the success of the lotus tongue touched the wavering heart of the general Huaqi. Originally, it was just fanning the flames, Bai Jiang knew very well that a proud man like Hua Qi had been imprisoned for so many years, and he must have worn out too much of his heart, and the hero would also become a bear, so in other words, he only said three points, but he did ten points.
After a cordial conversation with Hua Qi, Bai Jiang took the lead in returning to Beijing, firstly, to avoid others from seeing him and Hua Qi entering the city at the same time, and secondly, because he had to return to Beijing one step ahead of him and spread rumors along the road. Otherwise, how did those rumors come about? The one mouth that everyone is afraid of, and the two detoxified teeth, is the best hitchhiker for him to move Huaqi, which can help him.
Sure enough, as soon as Hua Qi, who had been absent from Beijing for a long time, entered the city, he heard the past that was being preached everywhere about his past, the past he didn't want to look back, and those sad pasts.
The unbearable past was recalled one by one, and the dust that was deliberately sealed in his heart was also exposed to the sun, which made him embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Bai Jiang's words that day came back to his ears, and he finally made up his mind, and wrote a short and profound letter to Wei Sa at the moment before entering the palace.
It is nothing more than a few vigorous and powerful words.
"I am willing to abandon the past and go to the Lord."
Eight words, that's enough.
It is enough to make Wei Sa ecstatic at the moment, and getting the secret support of Hua Qi is equivalent to adding half of the country to the country, if he can add the legendary tiger talisman in Zi Yan's hands, then the army of the entire Great Qi Kingdom is completely under his control.
Thinking of this, Wei Sa couldn't help but show an evil and arrogant smile.
"Today, my father is going to announce the news of Huaqi's return to Beijing, right?" Wei Sa read the letter again, which was only eight characters, and muttered, "If he comes, I won't go." The wicked raised his eyebrows, and the smile was even stronger, "I haven't seen a stream all night, and this king can't miss the beautiful scenery anymore." ”
Bao Yan thought about it, and was about to go out with a basin of water, but if he wanted to leave, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness, last night...... It seems that Sister Ruoxi has been here. ”
"What?" Wei Sa's hand shook, and the letter paper fell.
Bao Yan swallowed, "I mean, like. Not very sure either. ”
Wei Sa's brows furrowed quickly, "Really? ”
Bao Yan didn't dare to speak again, hesitated for a while, and left with a basin of water. If you don't run at this time, when will you stay?
"Changing clothes." Wei Sa beckoned, summoning in the other two little guys who had been waiting outside.
Although his face was calm, his heart was already a little scattered, if what Baoyan said was true, then, where is Ruoxi...... Hey, speaking of which, it's another series of troubles.
The morning light revealed at the beginning of the morning was like green silk, like a dreamy coat, gently draped on her body. She sat quietly by the edge of her favorite lake, and there were traces of shallow dew on the floor near the water source, slowly evaporating in the sun, and she sat on those water trails, as if she were not afraid of getting her clothes wet.
In the morning light, her eyebrows are picturesque, her shallow and transparent contours outline her thin cheeks, narrow shoulders, and slender waist, all of which are so helpless and so durable.
She sat there quietly, unmoving, stunned as she watched the ripples on the water.
Wei Sa sighed low and said softly, "Xiaoxi'er." ”
Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, and smiled slightly, "Your Highness, you're back." ”
"Don't you have to go to court today?" Wei Sa came over and sat down next to her, reaching out to put his hand around her shoulder, her body was cold, it seemed that she had been sitting here for a long time. Her brows couldn't help frowning, blaming her for her nonsense, "My body is better, what are you doing when you run out early?" ”
Ruoxi lowered his head and smiled, he only guessed that she was sitting here for a long time, but he couldn't imagine how sad she was last night, how sleepless she was all night.
However, the corners of his lips were unexpectedly hooked, as if everything was the wind on the horizon, gently, blowing, leaving nothing. She told herself that everything last night was a dream and that nothing had happened, so nothing remained in her heart.
"I'm waiting for Your Highness." She raised her tone to make herself look no different than usual.
Wei Sa looked down at her slightly pale face, scratched her little nose, and smiled, "How do you know that I will definitely come." ”
"I heard people say that His Royal Highness was busy with business in the study last night, and he was very tired, and I think that this is the only place in the Hall of Forgotten Souls that can make you feel at ease." She snuggled into his bosom and whispered that for him this was a resting place of tranquility, and for her, his broad chest and strong arms were not another resting place.
"In the world, you are the only one who knows me best." Wei Sa's heart warmed, and he laughed, the sun cast on the surface of the lake, and refracted on the faces of the two of them, some dazzling dazzling lights, which made both of them involuntarily squint.
"Do you want to sit here? Go back and add a piece of clothing, and we'll come back? He asked softly. It seems that his brook loves the water.
Ruoxi nodded, "If His Highness accompanies me, I'll go." If Your Highness doesn't accompany me...... I just sat there all the time. ”
Wei Sa smiled dumbly, and gently kissed her trembling eyelashes at the rare coquettish Ruoxi, "Xiaoxi'er said so, how can I not accompany it." Besides, I love it here too, because my brook is here, isn't it? His love words rippled in her ears like ripples, soft and glutinous, rippling straight into her heart.
"Xiaoxi'er likes this lake so much, why don't you give it a name, how about finding a craftsman to carve a mountain rock here?"
"It's fine." Ruoxi changed her posture, pillowed her head on his shoulder, looked at the lake that was as clear as a fine jasper, thousands of indescribable thoughts flowed in her heart, and the chaotic past hurriedly passed through her mind, and finally, she opened her mouth gently, "It's better to call, forget the lake." ”
The temple is the palace of forgetting the soul, and the lake is the lake of forgetting love.
In the end, who fell in love with whose soul, whose soul, and who forgot, whose love, whose love.
