It was a mountain cold

Originally, I was crying implicitly, but after seeing him, I directly opened the floodgates of tears and cried loudly, but I couldn't hold it back.

I sobbed, "The lunar eclipse was taken out by Duobu to look for me, but she didn't look at it, and the lunar eclipse was lost-"

"I can't lose it, the lunar eclipse is very smart and will get it back by itself. Even if it doesn't come back on its own, I'll send someone to find it, and I'll help you get it, don't cry. Don't cry, behave, don't cry. ”

He took me into his arms and patiently coaxed me, like a child.

I understand the truth, and I am also relieved to take steps, but I am still sad.

I kept crying, Changji kept persuading, I leaned on him, tears and snot were all wiped on his clothes, he didn't like it, patted me on the shoulder and coaxed: "You are tired these days, you have to rest well." Go get some sleep, and maybe when you wake up, it will come back. ”

When I heard this, I was shocked and urged: "Then you can send someone to find it now, or I will go with you to find it."

Changji's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Not now, I have military affairs in my body, so I can't go."

I was a little discouraged: "It's okay, you just need to point a few guards to me, I can go by myself, you are busy with yours."

I was crying, and there were people in the courtyard again, and I was afraid that I would be seen as a joke, so I quickly wiped my face with my sleeve, and stood up and hid behind Changji. After seeing that it was Wu Pingqi and Shan Han, he relieved his heart and was not so panicked.

Wu Pingqi wore a long sword at his waist, stepped on his boots, and a silver helmet glowed with cold light, as if he was going to go to the battlefield to fight. Although Shan Han is dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, it can be black from head to toe, how to look wrong, and look very depressed.

I looked at them behind Changji, and Wu Pingqi saw me on one side, and he should have been surprised by my swollen eyes crying, obviously stunned. But he didn't ask much, only nodded at me, then turned his head to look at Changji, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, the cattle and sheep for the martyrdom have been prepared, and it is feasible to go out to sacrifice the ceremony tomorrow." The six armies waited for Beicheng, and asked the prince to go and read. ”

Let me guess correctly, Wu Pingqi came to Changji, really for the war with the Lu State.

This matter was decided early in the morning, and I agreed with him to go, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Changji let me into the house, saying that there was still something to discuss with Wu Pingqi, I was obedient and took the order, and when I was leaving, I unintentionally glanced at Shan Han behind Wu Pingqi, which made me have some doubts.

Shan Han looked at me very strangely, a little frightened, and dodged. The more I looked at him, the more he ducked, and the hand that was originally pressing the scabbard shrank back deliberately.

His behavior is really weird, is he afraid that I will find something, what secrets do he have?

"Missing?"

Changji called me out loud, but I didn't answer, bypassing him and walking straight in front of Shan Han, and said with a smile: "Shan Han, your sword looks good, lend me a look."

"The princess can't!"

I pretended to reach out to pull the sword from his waist, but he was fooled and hurriedly stopped him, and in this instant, I pressed his right hand.

I lowered my head, and the tooth marks on his tiger's mouth could be seen clearly, the location of this wound was coincidental, and the man in black who was bitten by me that night also had tooth marks in the tiger's mouth. It turned out that he was hiding it for this.

I stared at the tooth marks on Shan Han's hand in a daze, trembling and fearful, if I would fall into the abyss.

There is no wind in the courtyard, but the cold hits people, and it is cold to the heart.

Changji pulled my hand back, grabbed my shoulders and asked me softly, "What's wrong, why is your face so pale, but what's wrong?"

Shan Han was only ordered by Changji, if the man in black that night was him, then Changji ......

Slowly looking up at Changji, the person in front of me, do I really know him? At this moment, I looked at him, only to feel scared, cold, and my hands were trembling uncontrollably. I looked at him in astonishment, feeling at peace in my heart, and wanted to question, but I couldn't ask.

"It's okay—"

I pushed Changji away, ran back to the room as fast as I could, hurriedly closed the door, and then got into the bed, like a frightened beast, fleeing in embarrassment.

I remembered what Tao Xu'er had told me before, the strange things that have happened in Jiankang City in recent years, whether it is the Tao family's raid or the Zhao family's annihilation, are all related to Changji, he has done a lot of things, I don't know-

No, it won't be him.

Changji is my husband, and I should have trusted him unconditionally, didn't I, but I didn't know what my fear was for, and I was eager to deny it.

The sound of conversation outside the door, intermittent and stopping, even though I had covered my ears tightly, I could still hear it clearly.

After a while, Changji sent the two people back, and then, the door was pushed open, and he walked in.

I closed my eyes and mentally counted the steps he took, and he approached the bed and sat down beside me with very light movements, and I tugged at the quilt for fear of being lifted by him.

He just sat like that, not talking, not moving, and if I hadn't heard his breathing, I would have thought he was gone.

I don't want to believe that he did those things, I admit that I am afraid, really afraid, just like I am afraid that I am Minghua, although I feel ridiculous, I will still be uneasy.

I wondered how to ask him, what to ask, how to express it so that we could all be calm and not blush, and I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't think of any good solution.

I wanted to continue to be silent, so I spent it with him silently, wanting to wait for him to take the initiative to talk to me, instead of me asking questions, so that he could find an excuse to prevaricate me.

Waiting, waiting, he didn't move, but I couldn't stand the boredom in the quilt and took the lead.

I lifted the quilt and took a wild breath, feeling refreshed.

He said: "Hide in it and get stuffy~"

Teasing, is he laughing at me?

I didn't pay attention, I just twisted my face away from him.

"Are you really going to ignore me?"

I snubbed him, but he didn't pay much attention, and still teased me as usual, scratched my nose, and kissed my eyebrows. On weekdays, what I can't resist the most is his actions, which are so gentle that they can warm people into a puddle of water. But now, how can my fear be soothed by this sweetness.

I fended off Changji's hand touching my cheek and made a gesture of affection to him, acting unusually calm.

I sarcastically said, "I sneaked out of the city, don't you ask me why?" You didn't ask where I had been in the past two days, who I met along the way, and what I did. I said that Qiang Di saved me, but you didn't ask, why did she save me, and what did she say to me? Aren't you curious? Or did you know it early on? ”

Xu was my indifference, which made him have to face up to the seriousness of the problem, and gradually removed the smile on his face.

"No, have you ever lied? Have you ever lied to the people closest and most to you? ”

Changji's words stopped me, not because of how difficult the question was, but because he asked me what I wanted to ask.

Who has never lied, I have told countless lies, lying to the living, lying to acquaintances, even if it is the closest person to me, I have lied, although not many times, but I have also lied. Just like to Changji, I hid it from him because of Tao Xu'er, secretly ran out of the city, and almost died.

Now when he asks me this, I must have expected that I would have to confirm something to him, or that he had noticed that I was hiding something from him, but I just wanted to clarify everything with him after I had clarified it, and since he would not tell me, I had to find out for myself.

Seeing that I was silent for a long time, Changji said again: "You lied, right?" There are also secrets in you that I don't know, you didn't tell me, it's not that you don't want to say it, but you feel that the time has not yet come, and you can't make it clear to me immediately, am I right? ”

I didn't look too far to look him in the eyes, and I was silent, and my annoyance grew.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, and you don't have to be worried, because I lied too. I have secrets that I can't reveal to you before the time comes, and everyone has things that he can't say, even if they are loving couples, they will have appropriate reservations. You are like this, so am I, and all of us are the same. But no, I promise, no matter what I did, what I lied, you just need to know that I will not hurt you, never. I didn't confess to you today, sooner or later, one day, I will explain it to you clearly, you don't have to worry, don't ask, just wait for me quietly. ”

Every time I encountered something, as long as I was a little more serious, he was like this, softly and patiently comforting me, and using a childish way to dispel my worries. But my current suspicions are no longer dispelled by his words on weekdays.

I said coldly: "Since you can't tell your secret, then listen to me, my secret, I can tell you."

Changji held my face, I raised my eyes to meet his gaze, his expression was soft, and he whispered to me: "You don't have to be in a hurry to reveal it to me, even if you can say it, keep it for the time being, just use it as a condition for exchanging with me in the future, and wait until the right time to talk about it, okay?"

I took his hand and said resolutely, "You can keep it and leave it to me." I was very uncomfortable hiding the secret in my heart, and I didn't want to hide it for a long time. ”

After a pause, seeing that he didn't stop me, I continued: "On the eve of Tao Guifei's death, Zeng announced that I entered the palace, and I didn't see her for the last time, but Tingsheng handed me a pipa, saying that it was left to me by Tao Guifei. There are two paintings hidden in the pipa, one is the picture of Nanzhan Kanyu who caused the Tao family to destroy the door back then, and the other is the portrait of your biological mother Dongjia. You know all these things, and what I didn't say was later. ”

"I didn't understand why Tao Guifei would give me such an important thing to an outsider, but then I figured it out, and it was because she wanted to use me, use me to tell you everything she knew. She thinks that you still don't know your origins, you are still in the dark, and if you can see the paintings in the lute, you can lead you to find out everything. And I am the most suitable person for her, because she has treated me well, and has promised that I will help her, and has concluded that I am very interested in it, and because I am husband and wife, and closest to you, and this matter is in my hands more suitable than anyone else. But none of what I'm guessing is important, it's just a premise. ”

Speaking of which, I took a moment's breath.

Changji treated me indifferently and didn't interrupt me.

"Half a month ago, Tingsheng held a flower-viewing banquet and invited the officials and relatives of Beijing to the palace to have fun, and I also went. The banquet was about to start, but before I was seated, Sheng Yunjiang stopped me, she said that an old man wanted to see me and invited me to get together. I couldn't shirk it, so I followed her. It was a deserted palace, and in it, I met pottery. ”

Changji's face gradually turned white, and his expression was solemn.

I was silent and said, "After the Anyang Palace's mansion was raided, Tao Xu'er entered the palace and became a criminal slave of the court. She designed to meet me, and when she met her, she said that she knew all the secrets about the pipa, the portrait, the picture, including the cause of the palace change twenty years ago. She told me that all the big and small incidents that have happened in Jiankang City in recent years are because of you, you have done a lot of things that I don't know, and you have taken a lot of lives. She was going to make a deal with me, saying that if I could escort her out of the palace, she would tell me more important things. ”

"So you couldn't help but be curious, so you agreed to her?"

Changji's expression didn't know whether he was laughing or angry, but his tone was a little joking.

I nodded and said honestly, "Yes, I wanted to know, so I agreed." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just planned to figure it out and then confess to you, but I never had the right opportunity to say it, I asked you, I asked you if you had something to hide from me, but you refused to say it. Changji, I don't want to know anything about you, if you don't say it, I have to listen to it from others. ”

His tone was still calm, and he said gently, "Then what did you listen to?"

He still didn't pay much attention to it.

I was a little discouraged and sighed, "I just sent her out of the city, and before I could hear it, I met the assassin who came to intercept her. Two assassins trapped me and Duobu, and the other two caught up with her and Tao Guifei. Tao Gui'er died, and Tao Guifei was nowhere to be seen. What I wanted to hear, I didn't hear. ”

I deliberately pronounced the three words Tao Guifei very seriously, trying in vain to catch some strange emotions from Changji's face, but he was calm, as calm as ever, and he didn't care that I was reading the name of an old man who had already announced his death.

Could it be that he already knew that Concubine Tao was not dead? Or was everything designed by him?

Rao is like this, I still deliberately asked: "I just mentioned Tao Guifei, don't you wonder, how could I mention this person?"

He looked me in the eye and spoke clearly: "You want to say that she is not dead, I know this."

Sure enough, he really knew, no wonder he wouldn't be surprised.

"When...... Aware? ”

He said in a dumb voice, "When you brought the lute back, I became suspicious."

He's so smart.

I laughed to myself, "So you know everything I do secretly?" I met Tao Xu'er, you know, I promised to send her out of the palace, you know, even the mute who followed her, you guessed that she was Tao Guifei? ”

He replied, "Yes, all, all of them I know."

I couldn't sit still any longer, as if I had been sucked dry of energy all at once, and I was completely paralyzed on the couch.

It's terrible, whether I'm hiding it from him, or is it he hiding it from me.

I looked sideways, looked out the window lazily, my mind was still in the house, and I asked him unhurriedly: "I bit the tooth marks on Shanhan's hand, and the black-clothed man who blocked me outside the city that night was him, right?"

He didn't hesitate and answered me.

I lowered my eyes.

"So, you sent someone to kill Tao Gui'er, and you also let Tao Guifei rob her?"

He still said yes.

"What's the use of robbing her?"

He kept silent.

I asked, "Why are you doing this, and what do you want?"

He tilted his head slightly, avoiding my gaze, but he asked me, "Are you pitying them?"

I smiled indifferently and asked, "Pity them?" Why should I pity them, who am I to pity them? ”

I closed my eyes and tried to suppress the depression in my heart.

"I don't care about the life or death of the Tao family's aunt and nephew, I care about you, I'm afraid that you will know if something happens to you. Do you think I promised to send Tao Yu'er out of the palace, because I have a good heart? No, I just want to know what you've done from her, I want to know what my husband, what he wants! I have always been selfish, I only think about myself and the people I care about in everything, and you are the person I care about the most, I am afraid that you will be burned, I am afraid that you will be involved in right and wrong. I want you to be safe and smooth, I want you to stay away from fighting for your life, do you understand it? ”

I almost shouted these words. I tugged at his cuffs, and I cried out uncontrollably, and I couldn't hold back the depression in my heart for a long time.

He raised his hand to wipe my tears, but a slap in my mind flashed in my head, and the picture was so real that it seemed like a slap would really fall on my face, so frightened that I slapped him backhand and vigorously pushed his hand away.

Changji's hand hung in the air, staring at me in astonishment for a long time.

I don't know what's wrong with me, how can I be so defensive about him.

I looked up at him and muttered apologetically, "I, I didn't mean to."

He sighed and said, "What are you afraid of, how can I be against you?"

"No, I'm just ......"

I stammered and couldn't explain clearly.

He didn't care, hugged me again, and said softly: "No, I said, you don't have to go to the trouble of guessing what I did, when the time comes, I will tell you everything."

It's time again! Qiang Di has to wait for the heavenly opportunity, and Changji has to wait for the opportunity, don't they know how long the waiting process is, and how anxious the people who are waiting are!

I was still asking, but he suddenly became serious and said seriously, "Do you want to put me in trouble?"

I shook my head in amazement: "How can you say such a thing, of course I don't want to."

"The more I say, the more likely I am to be in danger," he said. If you still want me to say that, then I'll say it. ”

"Don't talk about it."

I was reluctant to embarrass him, so I finally let go, sniffed, looked up at him, and hummed: "But you have to promise me that you can protect yourself at any time and get out of the way."

He smiled and nodded, "I promise you."

I put away my tears, then wrapped my arms around his waist and threw myself into his arms.

He hugged me and quipped, "No, you look so ugly when you cry."

I was stunned, this sudden sarcasm, telling people how to answer.

"Ugly is also your family."

I calmly turned my back and pinched my sleeve and touched my face indiscriminately.

I heard his suppressed laughter, turned around and glared at him, he didn't think so, his hand touched my face, warm and cool, very comfortable.

He put his chin on my forehead and promised me, "You wait patiently for me, don't be in a hurry, don't be afraid, I will plan everything and give you the best."

I choked up and said, "I don't want anything, I just want you to be good."
