Chapter Eighty-Nine: Mutual Voices
The wheels turned round and round, Xia Mengning leaned in the shaking carriage, her eyes closed, Jiu'er sat on the side, worried and anxious, but she didn't dare to ask.
Xia Mengning leaned back against the carriage, feeling that after relaxing her whole body, she was extremely sore, and her whole body was as cold and hot as if she was soaked in water, and it was very uncomfortable.
With her left hand on her right wrist, Xia Mengning carefully felt the beating of her pulse, knowing that she was cold and had not yet recovered, and she had just done it with Leng Xiao, which consumed a lot of internal strength.
At this moment, the carriage slowly slowed down, and Jiu'er said softly: "Miss, it's time to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Xia Mengning opened her eyes, supported her forehead a little weakly, and wanted to open her mouth, but felt that her throat was extremely dry.
Jiu'er lifted the curtain and tied Xia Mengning's cloak before carefully helping her out of the carriage.
After returning to the Bamboo Branch Garden, as soon as she entered the door, Zhu Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xia Mengning's body and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xia Mengning shook her head, Zhu Lian looked at Xia Mengning's pale lips and the unnormal flush on her face, and reached out to try, the tentacles were hot, "Oh my God, Miss, you have a fever." ”
The two helped Xia Mengning into the room, changed her clothes and let her lie on the bed, Zhu Lian said anxiously: "I'll go find a doctor for Miss." ”
Xia Mengning shook his head, "Don't, Zhulian, Shui ......"
Jiu'er hurriedly poured water and handed it over, Zhulian held Xia Mengning's body with one hand, fed her water with the other, and drank some before putting her back on the bed.
"Miss, your head is so hot, how can you do it without looking at the doctor?" Zhu Lian said anxiously on the side, tears coming out of her eyes.
Xia Mengning shook her head, "I'm fine......"
As she was talking, Wu Qing walked in from outside the door, Zhu Lian saw her, and said angrily: "Where are you going, why don't you go with Miss to the palace today, get Miss like this, you still have the face to come back." ”
Jiu'er was a smart person, and knew that today's events were a little strange, so she walked over and pulled Zhulian's hand, "Sister Zhulian, don't talk about Wu Qing." ”
As if he hadn't heard, Wu Qing walked to the bed and looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Get up!" ”
Xia Mengning didn't make a sound, Wu Qing pulled her up, and without saying a word, he used his internal strength to go to Xia Mengning's back.
After about half an hour, Xia Mengning's face improved slightly, Zhu Lian walked over and took an embroidered handkerchief to wipe Xia Mengning's sweat, Wu Qing took his hand and said: "I know everything today, don't worry, I'm on your side." ”
didn't expect Wu Qing to say such a thing, Xia Mengning smiled bitterly, "It's hard for you." ”
Wu Qing sighed, looked at Xia Mengning and said: "It's not that I said you, I usually see that you are a shrewd lord, why did you get dizzy today, what kind of county lord is obviously jealous of the senior brother being good to you, so he deliberately said something angry with you to make you angry, you are good, you don't need anyone to contribute, just move your mouth to get you into the pit, why are you so stupid......"
Xia Mengning shook her head, pulled the thin quilt over her body, leaned on the edge of the bed and did not speak.
Zhu Lian was confused when she heard this, Jiu'er saw this, and knew that Wu Qing was specially here to enlighten the third lady, so she took Zhu Lian's hand, made a look, and the two walked out quietly.
Wu Qing sat on the small couch by the window, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, raised his head and saw Xia Mengning's dejected appearance, he was also a little unbearable, walked over and sat next to Xia Mengning, looked at her and said: "Even if the senior brother is moved by you because of your appearance, then after so many days, can't you still see his heart for you, as long as you are in danger, he is more anxious than anyone else, why do you bother yourself for a Ruoxin that has disappeared?" ”
Xia Mengning listened, bit her lip and shook her head, "You don't understand, if you were a stand-in, would you still say such a thing?" ”
Wu Qing nodded nonchalantly, "Although I haven't experienced real feelings, I also know what it means to be in love over time, senior brother is a rare good man, don't fall out with him because of this little thing, in that case, you know who is cheaper." ”
After saying this, Wu Qing stood up, "Okay, I'll stop here, how to do it depends on your own heart." After speaking, Wu Qing turned around and walked out.
Xia Mengning sighed softly, looking at the scenery outside the window and slightly distracted, how could she not know that Yu Ziran's words were to provoke herself, but when she asked him, she didn't get a positive answer, what she cared about most was his attitude, when Xia Mengning thought like this, two lines of tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Well, in that case, let it go with the flow, and no longer ask for anything, nor do you want anything extravagant, but only to keep the peace of your aunt and the child in your womb, and nothing else.
In the Dingxi Palace, the eldest grandson Yun was sitting in the room in a daze, when he suddenly felt a sinking on his shoulders, and turned his head to see Wu Qing's face.
"Senior brother is so interested, can you still sit here?"
Seeing that Changsun Yun ignored him, Wu Qing walked in front of Changsun Yun and sat down, and asked with a smile.
Eldest Sun Yun raised his head, "Why are you here, don't stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Wu Qing sighed, "She has a fever, and because of her internal strength, she is almost half dead now." ”
As soon as the words fell, Changsun Yun hurriedly stood up, "What, how can this be, have you seen the doctor?" ”
Wu Qing glanced at him and said, "If I could watch her die of grief for you, I wouldn't have healed her injuries first, and then I would come here to tell you." ”
After saying this, Changsun Yun's face relaxed, Wu Qing saw it, and couldn't help but stand up and said: "Senior brother, what kind of woman Xia Mengning is You should know, her self-esteem is extremely strong, and now she thinks that you have used her as a stand-in for something, and she refuses to forgive you whether she lives or dies, you can do it, if you still want to continue, act quickly, if you think that there is no grass at the end of the world, then do whatever you want." ”
When Eldest Sun Yun heard this, his face was a little sad, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said, "It's my fault." ”
Wu Qing nodded, "It seems that you want to continue?" Well, since you said so, as a fellow junior sister, I will do my best to help you no matter what. ”
After eating at night, Xia Mengning went to bed early, the moonlight was beautiful, and through the screen window into the tent, a figure suddenly turned in from the window, and walked lightly to Xia Mengning's bedside.
Seeing that Xia Mengning was already asleep, the figure walked over and wanted to cover the quilt for her, but as soon as her hand touched the quilt, she was quickly clamped by the person on the bed, and at the same time, the person on the bed also quickly opened her eyes, "Who?!" ”
The moonlight outside the window spilled in, shining the appearance of the person in front of him more and more clearly, Xia Meng was stunned, quickly let go of his hand and sat up, and said coldly: "What are you doing?" ”
The person who came was Changsun Yun, who wanted to take advantage of the night to take a look at Xia Mengning and see how her injuries were, but he was caught without thinking about it.
"Ning'er ......" Eldest Sun Yun hesitated to speak, seeing Xia Mengning's head full of green silk pouring on the back of his head, his face became more and more pointy, and he couldn't help but feel unbearable, and said softly: "I'll come to see if your body is better." ”
Xia Mengning smiled softly, and turned her head to look at the eldest grandson, "Thanks to the prince of the world, what I am like now, the prince should know very well." ”
Eldest Sun Yun looked at Xia Mengning's face and said softly, "Would you like to listen to my explanation?" ”
Xia Mengning shook his head, "It's okay, don't force it all the time in your life, please go back." ”
Eldest Sun Yun stretched out his hand and shook Xia Mengning's, and said, "Don't you really want to know?" ”
The distance between the two was shortened, and Xia Mengning looked at the person in front of him, but he could no longer trust him as before.
Eldest Sun Yun sighed and said: "I admit that when I first saw you, I was a little surprised that you were similar to Ruoxin, and I also slowly began to approach you for this, but do you know, I don't know when I started, I have been moved by you, this feeling has never been, even I didn't notice it myself, until today, looking at the back of your departure, I realized that I had fallen in love with you." ”
Looking at each other, Xia Mengning looked at Changsun Yun's eyes, which showed her own reflection, she didn't know whether to believe it or not, but the eyes of the person in front of her were so sincere that she couldn't find a reason to doubt.
"Do you know, I was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was born as a concubine, I have known since I was a child to forbear, don't expect what I shouldn't expect, when my mother was there, the children of the concubine couldn't even eat a full meal, I am used to seeing all kinds of things in this world, I know that there is no affection between people only interests, I have tried to harden my heart until you appear."
Xia Mengning looked at the person in front of her, there were already a little tears in her eyes, "I thought that as long as I could get your attention, I would be able to save my aunt and my life, I didn't want to follow my mother's words to marry someone to make the pedal for the eldest sister, so I put the bet on you, I originally thought it was just a mutual use, but I gradually fell into it unconsciously, I gave you all my trust, if it was before, I could believe anything you said, but now, I don't know if I should believe you." ”
Hearing Xia Mengning's words, Eldest Sun Yun only felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, he stretched out his arm and grabbed Xia Mengning's shoulder, and whispered: "It's my fault, are you willing to forgive me once?" ”
Xia Mengning was silently crying, unable to say a word, her heart was full of chaotic emotions, and she didn't know what to say.
The moonlight was cold, quietly sprinkled on the two of them, revealing a soft luster, what Xia Mengning's heart was, probably only the moon knew.
