Chapter Twenty-Six: A sigh and a coldness
The wind on the platform gradually cooled down, I pulled the cloak on my body, my whole face was in the dark, looking at Yan Yi in the moonlight, two lines of clear tears on my face, and I suddenly felt so guilty that I couldn't speak.
He was such an iron-clad man, who had been on the verge of death twice, who had been tortured twice, and who had never cried out in pain, and now such a man was in tears, and I really broke his heart.
I couldn't bear to stay any longer, turned around and stepped on the steps of the lower platform, Yan Yi's voice sounded behind me, "Tanyan, if you are not happy, I will take you away desperately, do you believe me......"
I paused, then nodded vigorously.
Running all the way down the platform, walking in the night sky like splashing ink, I finally couldn't help but look up at the towering platform, the white figure in the night sky stood alone, very lonely.
Every step is like the heart being torn apart from the body by an inch, and the farther and farther it goes, the farther the heart goes.
I hid my face and wept, and suddenly my forehead hit a "wall", I raised my head in astonishment, only to find that it was Jun Murong in front of me.
He was rarely dressed in a serious manner, dressed in dark clothes, as if the whole person was melted into the night.
"You ......" He was also startled when he saw my tear-stained face.
I panicked and tried to wipe away my tears, but the more I wiped them, I couldn't stop it, so I had to shake my head at him, and when I saw that he wanted to ask something more, I pushed him away in a panic and ran away.
Stumbling all the way back to the Lintoe Palace, I reflexively buckled the temple door, the tears in my eyes couldn't stop falling down, and my body fell to the ground along the temple door.
Yilang, do we count, as soon as we enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on? Are the two really going to be irrelevant?
"Sister...... What's going on? Don't sit on that cool ground. Rulan's voice sounded in my ears, and she hurriedly came to help me.
I picked me up by her, sat on the chair in the outer hall, and it took a long time to come to my senses, and when I saw Rulan in front of me, I knew that I was scared of her, and I eased my expression slightly.
Seeing that she was still wearing my clothes, I digressed and asked, "Is he here?" β
The throat seemed to have been soaked in salt water, and the astringency was not smooth at all.
Rulan's eyes instantly became a little unnatural, and she glanced at the inner hall.
I felt uneasy, and my absent-mindedness was quite relieved by this, and I asked cautiously, "He...... It won't be in there, right? β
Rulan met my gaze and nodded in embarrassment.
I let out a dejected sigh and leaned back in my chair.
Does this count as a house leak and even rain?
Jun Mochen was originally in the Qinzheng Palace, but before he knew it, the sky was dark, he was thinking about me, knowing that I was afraid of the dark, so he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and hurried over.
But as soon as I approached my dwelling, I felt that something was wrong, I had always been afraid of the dark, and every night I made the whole palace brightly lit, and there were no less people waiting in and outside the palace.
But as soon as he stepped in today, the whole room was not visible, and there was no one waiting, so he couldn't help but raise a trace of vigilance in his heart.
As soon as he entered the temple gate, he saw that there was someone on the couch, and he didn't even think about it to know that it wasn't me, so he directly raised his sword and asked, "Who is pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, get out of here." β
Hearing such a shout, Rulan was already timid, and now pretending to be me was even more frightened overnight, so she hurriedly got up and begged for mercy, Jun Mochen interrogated Rulan where I went, but how could Rulan say it after I had been with me for many years.
Jun Mochen knew that he couldn't ask, so he waited here for me to come back, and Rulan couldn't do it.
After I heard Rulan finish speaking, I breathed a sigh of relief, smart as Jun Mochen, how can I hide from him with these actions?
After a while, I don't know what kind of storm was waiting for me.
Seeing me like this, Rulan asked me nervously, "Sister, what can I do now?" β
I took a deep breath and smiled at her with a reassuring smile, "It's okay, thanks to you tonight, you can go back and rest quickly." β
Rulan was not at ease, hesitated and didn't want to leave, I urged, "Go back quickly, it's okay." β
Only then did she turn around and leave the temple.
Seeing that Rulan was gone, I settled down and walked towards the inner hall step by step.
There was no light in the inner sanctum, it was dark, and my heart was a little weak.
Groping for the candle and lighting it with a fire fold, there was light in the hall, a dark figure sat on the edge of the couch, and the whole person was trapped in the dark shadows, but the temperament of the whole body could not be hidden, until the whole hall was frozen.
Seeing that it was still dark in the temple, I did not dare to light a few more candlesβthe darkness would give me a sense of security.
I walked to the dressing table and sat down, took off my cloak and heavy beads, and combed my hair while carefully observing Jun Mochen on the side of the couch through the bronze mirror.
It's just that he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't even move his body.
For a long time, I had combed and combed my hair, and when I had nothing to do, I was thinking about whether to take the initiative to explain it to him, but he suddenly spoke.
The mellow voice pierced through the darkness and fell steadily into the eardrums, "Where did you go today?" I waited a long time. β
I "chuckled" in my heart, hesitating to tell him that I had gone to see Yan Yi.
He continued, "You still like the Imperial City after I have repaired it, and you have to go out at night to enjoy it, but it is inconvenient at night, so it is better to go during the day." β
I looked up in surprise, he was ...... Found a staircase for me?
He knew where I went, so why?
Before I could think clearly, he suddenly said, "It's not early, let's rest early." β
Then he turned over and turned sideways.
As I got closer, I suddenly heard his breathing heavily, as if he was angry, and I immediately understood seven or eight points in my heart.
Is it really for me, that he knew it, and was so angry, that he was going to pretend he didn't know it at all?
All of a sudden, I felt a little distressed.
Seeing him sleeping in his clothes, he was already suffering from cold, and it was not good to fall asleep like this.
stepped forward and nudged him, "Get up and take off your coat and sleep, you hurt your body carefully." β
He only ignored it, and looked inside, obviously not asleep, but he didn't answer a word.
Somehow, I just felt as if I owed him in my heart, and I persuaded him with kind words for a long time, but I still ignored him, so I had to give up.
A futon dragged over the head of the bed was put on for him, and the corners of the quilt were tucked before he lay down.
But I couldn't sleep, thinking of the two clear tears in Yan Yi's moonlight, I only felt uncomfortable in my heart for a while, and I thought of Jun Mochen beside me, pretending to be stupid and would rather sulk than say nothing, don't ask, don't doubt, this kind of Jun Mochen makes me a little unrecognizable.
Although I rejected Yan Yi, I couldn't respect Jun Mochen like an ordinary husband and wife.
I thought of my mother and grandmother again, and now there is really only one Rulan left, how pitiful and pathetic.
Is this the punishment that Heaven has given me?
Also, the negative deserve to be punished, as long as they are well.
After thinking about it like this for a long time, I couldn't sleep, looking out the window, the bright moon was shining, and my heart was full of thoughts for a while.
When I was thinking about it, suddenly an arm reached out and hugged me tightly, like an iron arm of a steel ring, tightening more and more, I was silent, my brow furrowed a little because of the pain, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.
Jun Mochen muttered in the night, "Gongya, I thought you weren't coming back. β
I stiffened, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Gongya, I'm afraid of losing your ......"
"Gongya, don't leave my ......"
β¦β¦
Such a fragile murmur is like a falling autumn leaf.
I slowly raised my hand and put it on his back, and said softly as if comforting a child, "I won't leave." β
It's also inseparable, it's fate.
When the sun shines tomorrow, there is no one around as usual, and the waiters waiting outside the tent are respectful and strict, and although there are many of them, they are so quiet that they can even hear a needle falling on the ground.
When they saw me get up, they said in unison, "Slaves and maidservants serve the girl and get up." β
Where his fingers touched, the futon was already cold, and he had been gone for a long time, or had not slept all night.
When freshening up, Rulan whispered a few words to Qiaohe, the palace maid in charge of the Lintoe Palace, and then handed over a hot white hand towel and said, "Sister, Your Majesty said that let my sister use a hot hand towel to compress her eyes, which can reduce swelling and make her eyes more comfortable." β
I was stunned for a moment before I took it, my eyes were still astringent and painful, but the last time he asked me why my eyes were swollen like that, I couldn't speak, so no one knew about the fragility of my eyelids.
But he not only knows, but also cares, doesn't he say that small things can see the sincerity the most?
Jun Mochen, is this your sincerity or concern?
Either way, it was only then that I was truly relieved that the matter was over.
Qiaohe on the side laughed, "The girl is really a blessed person, there are few in the world that can make our majesty so concerned about it, and the slave maid also has the girl's help, if the girl doesn't want to live in the Lintoe Palace, I'm afraid the slave and the maid will not be able to enter this Lintoe Palace for the rest of their lives." β
Hearing this, I looked up at her, and sure enough, there was some face, but she said it too much, Rao is to get someone else's help, as soon as she entered the palace, she became the palace maid, it can be seen that she is not an idle person, but a modest statement.
I only smiled and did not speak, and a group of girls in the temple spoke word by word.
Another little palace maid said, "It's really good for the slave to see the girl and the emperor, a talented woman, a pair of beautiful people." β
I was stunned, a pair of beautiful people?
Whether it's a beautiful person or a talented woman, you can't stay with Yilang, and the only person you can rely on in this long deep palace is Jun Mochen, just live like this, you have to live after all.
At this time, I thought that everything was calm and everything would continue like this, but what I didn't know was that it was just a small uproar, and the uproar was not yet coming.
My real catastrophe has only just begun.
