Chapter Ninety-Eight: Love is the Most Complicated
Zhao Ziqian pushed the window, it should have fallen inside, but he didn't push it open. So he pondered outside the window for a while, and then decided to enter through the main entrance.
It's not that he hasn't been a gentleman on the beam, but this time, he felt inexplicably apprehensive and scared.
I saw him tiptoe into the main room and close the door, and stopped in front of the hall for a while, making sure that he had not disturbed the people in the room, and then began to continue moving. He slowly moved forward, bypassed the landscape screen, came to the collapse step by step, and then gently lifted the curtain.
The people on the couch were sleeping soundly with the brocade quilt, and Zhao Ziqian took advantage of the faint moonlight to carefully examine Yi Xiangxiang's face.
Acacia has long since invaded the bones.
Zhao Ziqian gently hung the curtain in his hand on the copper barb beside him, and then he sat down in the Huanghuali footstool in front of the collapse, and looked at the people on the couch with one hand supporting his chin.
Yi Xiangxiang ate two Chinese New Year's Eve dinners today, and drank several cups of ten-mile incense in the Huanxi Pavilion in the evening, and it was already midnight again, so she naturally slept sweetly. But she didn't like to see the light when she slept, so she specially made this thick bed curtain. So, when she was half-asleep and half-awake, she felt the light, and opened her eyes in a daze, but she was almost not scared by Zhao Ziqian to reincarnate again.
Seeing that Yi Xiangxiang was about to scream, Zhao Ziqian hurriedly pounced and covered her mouth.
"It's me."
The hoarse voice is still charming, but it is a little dry, but Yi Xiangxiang still recognizes the person.
She calmed down her fear, then raised her hand and patted the back of Zhao Ziqian's hand, signaling him to let go of herself. So Zhao Ziqian reluctantly sat back on the footstool, leaning on the edge of the bed.
Yi Xiangxiang patted her cheek to sober herself up, then took out a gold silk soft pillow from the bed as a cushion, and sat up before looking at Zhao Ziqian.
She originally wanted to scold him for being sick, but she couldn't bear to see him drooping his head.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Something? Yi Xiangxiang asked this sentence helplessly.
She couldn't imagine what Zhao Ziqian was doing when she came to her at this point, but if it was deliberately scary in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be so boring, right? Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.
When Zhao Ziqian heard this, he snorted coldly: "You changed your words quickly!" ”
Yi Xiangxiang was stunned, this person is really sick! Running her in the middle of the night is weird with her! What the?
Because of Zhao Ziqian's cold snort, Yi Xiangxiang was no longer good-tempered, and she stretched out her foot and pushed Zhao Ziqian's back hard and said, "What the hell are you doing at night!" ”
Zhao Ziqian did not defend himself, and was kicked by Yi Xiangxiang and let out a gasp.
"Isn't it? Just a few days without seeing, you are weak like this? I can't even stand my kick! ”
Yi Xiangxiang said and got up from the bed, intending to break Zhao Ziqian to see if the other party was really kicked by her. She had heard the evil spirits say before that there are many acupuncture points on people's bodies that cannot be touched, and Yi Xiangxiang thought that she would inadvertently kick any acupuncture points that could not be moved, otherwise even Zhao Ziqian would be in pain.
She knew that when this person was recuperating in Yongle Ju, he even boasted about his great ability to endure pain.
But to Yi Xiangxiang's surprise, as soon as she broke her hand on Zhao Ziqian's shoulder, the latter snorted again. This made Yi Xiangxiang quickly get out of bed and stand in front of Zhao Ziqian, and then lifted his robe with his hands.
Zhao Ziqian only wore an outer robe, which was soaked by snow at this moment, and the white single coat inside had oozed blood.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at the bloodstains, frowned and asked, "Are you injured?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Ziqian to answer, she let the latter sit on the bed and hung up the curtain on the other side by herself.
Then she walked to the table outside, took out the fire fold from the purple-brown lacquer box on it, and lit a few candlesticks. Then she took the candlestick back and forth into the inner room and laid it on the carved round table in front of the bed.
After that, she went to the outer room again, and brought in a Ringo Double Oriole Diagram Pick-up Box, which contained gold sore medicine and some bandaging tools. After everything was put away, she began to undress Zhao Ziqian.
First, the outer robe, which was already soaked, should have been snowflakes falling on the robe, and then when they entered the warm inner room, they all turned into water and soaked the robe.
Yi Xiangxiang shook her head with her clothes, she threw out the robe in disgust, and then looked at Zhao Ziqian like a fool.
Eh, she sighed helplessly, and then started to pull the white single clothes on Zhao Ziqian's body again. And because the wound was not bandaged, the flesh and blood were stuck together with the clothes, which made Yi Xiangxiang feel pain when she looked at it.
After the single clothes were torn off, Zhao Ziqian was shirtless. Yi Xiangxiang thought that it was so cold outside, and this guy was only wearing two! Do you really think that you are invulnerable to wind and snow? She was just about to complain, when she saw traces of medicine on the side of the wound, and the direction of complaining immediately changed.
"That's not right! You've been drugged here, why don't you know how to bandage it? Yi Xiangxiang asked with a glare.
Zhao Ziqian looked at the wound when he heard this, and said, "He may not understand the glimpse treatment." ”
Don't understand? People who dance and play swords all year round don't understand this? Yi Xiangxiang expressed some doubts.
Glimpses are very wronged, when he just wanted to call his Royal Highness at the gate of the prince's mansion, he just wanted to say that if he wanted to go out, he had to bandage the wound first! The reason why he didn't wrap it at first was because he was afraid that the wound would itch when the room was warm, so he wanted to let it breathe!
Yi Xiangxiang didn't have anything to do with Zhao Ziqian, and began to clean his wound again, and then bandaged it with gauze. She is not very skilled, but she strives for perfection, so the series of movements is completed very slowly.
The sweet aroma of the wine floats in the air, and every breath of Yi Xiangxiang carries a charming fragrance.
Zhao Ziqian looked at the person who was focused in front of her, she didn't apply powder, and the three thousand green silk were pinned behind her ears like a waterfall. Under the light of the candle flame, her face was clearly extinguished in front of her eyes, as if she was about to disappear at any moment.
He felt like he was about to settle down.
Yi Xiangxiang naturally didn't notice Zhao Ziqian's abnormality, and as the last bow buckle was fastened, she said with satisfaction: "Okay!" ”
Then, Yi Xiangxiang began to pack up the things on the desk, and when she was about to leave, she found that Zhao Ziqian was holding her skirt.
She shook and motioned for Zhao Ziqian to let go, and the latter reluctantly let go.
Yi Xiangxiang looked down at the corner of her skirt, there were already folds on it, and it seemed that she had been caught for a long time. Could it be that she hurt him too hard when she was drugged? Yi Xiangxiang remembered that when she was a child, she fell and injured herself, and when her grandmother gave her medicine, she always pulled her grandmother's sleeve because she was afraid of pain. I didn't expect Zhao Ziqian, who was reinforced and iron-clad, to be afraid of pain, Yi Xiangxiang.
After packing up her things, Yi Xiangxiang turned back to the inner room. After she saw the shirtless Zhao Ziqian, she patted her head as if she thought of something, so she saw her walk to the begonia rich flower closet, open the cabinet door and take out a set of clothes.
"This is made in Tongzhou when Leqi, pure handmade! Originally, I was going to give it to my brother, but now it's cheaper for you! Come and try it, you and your brother are about the same size, and they should fit. Yi Xiangxiang said and beckoned Zhao Ziqian over, and then handed him the clothes.
"Since it's for my brother, why don't you do it yourself?" Zhao Ziqian took the clothes and walked around behind the screen on the side.
Yi Xiangxiang smiled when she heard this, she walked to the table and sat down, poured herself a glass of water and said, "I dare to do it, he doesn't dare to wear it!" My embroidery is the worst in our entire house! ”
Her biggest headache is embroidery, and using an embroidery needle to thread the needle is more uncomfortable than asking her to write ten more pages of big characters!
Well, it's also hard to write in large letters.
Zhao Ziqian changed his clothes and walked out of the screen, looked at Yi Xiangxiang and said, "If you do it, I will dare to wear it." ”
Yi Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment holding the cup, and she obviously felt an ambiguous smell floating in the air. After a long moment, she shook her head and put the cup down.
"Tell me, why did you come to me at night?" Yi Xiangxiang yawned.
At this moment, she felt a chill on her feet, and then she realized that she had forgotten to put on her shoes just now, and she was running around barefoot the whole time. Yi Xiangxiang sighed at the moment, if she were a doctor, she would definitely be the kind who worked tirelessly and sacrificed herself for others! She teased herself inwardly as she shrunk her feet into the lap chair and shielded herself with her skirt.
Zhao Ziqian naturally saw her movements, his heart moved slightly, and he strode over and hugged Yi Xiangxiang to the bed.
Before Yi Xiangxiang could react, she found herself sitting on the bed, and Zhao Ziqian was pulling the quilt over her.
"Dirty, dirty!" Yi Xiangxiang exclaimed.
Zhao Ziqian was puzzled and frowned.
Yi Xiangxiang sighed heavily and said, "I just ran around underneath, and the floor is dirty!" ”
"Don't you ask them to mop the floor every day?" Zhao Ziqian knew that when Yi Xiangxiang was in Tongzhou, there was a maid who was responsible for cleaning the floor, and the floor of Yongleju was cleaned every day!
"It was wiped in the morning, and it came and went during the day, and the floor was already dirty!" Yi Xiangxiang said and stretched her feet out of the bed, but she refused to cover the quilt.
Zhao Ziqian was helpless: "Then what should I do?" ”
Yi Xiangxiang pointed to the outside room and said, "There is a kettle on the stove next to the door, and a handkerchief and a copper basin are on the shelf. ”
Her meaning was clear, she was going to wash her feet.
"Blind!" Zhao Ziqian complained, but he was still appointed to play the role of a little maid and wash Yi Xiangxiang's feet with water.
After a period of tossing, Yi Xiangxiang finally went to bed satisfied, holding the warm brocade quilt and falling asleep, fortunately, she still remembered that there was an uninvited guest in the room and did not really fall asleep.
"What the hell are you here for?" Yi Xiangxiang had to admit that she was running out of patience again.
Zhao Ziqian replied in a cool tone: "Come and see you." ”
Yi Xiangxiang couldn't control her eyes anymore, and said angrily: "Then you've seen it, go back!" With that, she slipped into the bed.
There was silence in the air.
After a long time, Zhao Ziqian finally spoke again: "Do you think Zhao Zixiu helped you at the palace banquet and cared about you?" ”
Yi Xiangxiang ripped off the quilt when she heard this, and her hair was messy, and she looked at Zhao Ziqian: "Are you eavesdropping on me?" ”
Zhao Ziqian acquiesced.
"I deliberately provoked Jiang Xuanrui, Zhao Zixiu just made a voice to brush up on his favor in front of the Yi family, I won't be so sentimental." Yi Xiangxiang didn't know the purpose of Zhao Ziqian's question, but she still truthfully said what she thought in her heart.
Sure enough, in her heart, they outsiders value interests. If he had spoken in the palace at that time, she would have thought that it was for another purpose, right? Zhao Ziqian didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Do you think that there must be interests behind everything?" Zhao Ziqian threw out another question.
"Isn't it? Isn't the reason why you are silent because you are afraid of influencing the decision of the Holy One? Aren't you also worried that the Holy One will not give this canonization decree? Yi Xiangxiang asked Zhao Ziqian rhetorically.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that Yi Luochuan helped the Seven Princes Zhao Ziqian to save the driver together, and the Yi family and the Seven Princes' Mansion were in the same boat. Yi Xiangxiang still wondered why Zhao Ziqian didn't say a word when he was in the main hall. Later, after the holy decree of canonizing the crown prince, Yi Xiangxiang understood that Zhao Ziqian was afraid that he would say too much and make too many mistakes and affect the overall situation.
She can understand that if she learned about the crown prince in advance, she would be able to get her hands on it immediately, and she would not have any extraneous complications.
"But if Jiang Xuanrui and I had opened their mouths at that time, the result would be the same as Zhao Zixiu, and it wouldn't have any effect!" Zhao Ziqian explained.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to argue, in her opinion, this was the trade-off, and anyone had the power to weigh the pros and cons, and she didn't want to stop anyone or dominate anyone. Everyone's position is different, and she can't ask for anything.
So she pulled her hair and said, "Okay, don't say any more." I know it's useless, and I can understand your position! It's all in the past, you don't have to explain it, and I didn't take it to heart. ”
Her tone was impatient, there were too many things going on today, she had a little headache now, and her chest was stuffy.
"Why don't you take it to heart?" Zhao Ziqian was a little excited.
It's because you treat me like an outsider, so you don't care if I help you or not, do you? Zhao Ziqian didn't ask this sentence.
"You...... You are really conflicted! I said I understand your position of not speaking up at the palace banquet, but you mean that you don't need me to understand your position, right? So what are you doing on this trip? Well, in fact, to be honest, how you choose, it has nothing to do with me, okay? I don't care, and it has nothing to do with you! Or do you want to use me for something? You've got the crown prince, and the chair in the palace is at your fingertips! Please, don't bother me anymore, okay? ”
Yi Xiangxiang finally went crazy!
Can she not be mad! This man came to his house in the middle of the night, dressed and wounded, and asked some strange questions! She's not a good-tempered person in the first place, and it's normal to have outbursts.
And Zhao Ziqian's logic is also problematic, if he has his own position, then maintain his own position, so what does she think and do? Easy to smell and aroma knots.
Yes, Zhao Ziqian is contradictory.
He was angry that he didn't care about her gains and losses as Yi Xiangxiang said, not right or wrong.
To be honest, when he heard what Yi Xiangxiang said to Jiang Xuanrui outside the carriage, his first reaction was that he didn't care enough about Yi Xiangxiang, so he would remain rational about the things at the palace banquet. So he didn't feel happy the moment he received the holy decree, and he entered the silent building.
However, at this time, I heard Yi Xiangxiang say that she understood the reason why he didn't stand up, and said that she wouldn't take it to heart, and Zhao Ziqian was also angry. Because this means that Yi Xiangxiang doesn't care if he helps her or not, in her eyes, he is just an ordinary outsider.
There is only one sentence around and around, that is, Zhao Ziqian doesn't want Yi Xiangxiang to think that if he doesn't support, it means that he doesn't care about her, but he also hopes that Yi Xiangxiang will care about his lack of support, because this can mean that she cares about his actions.
Well, it's paradoxical.
Zhao Ziqian didn't find his contradiction, because he heard Yi Xiangxiang say the word "utilization", only to see him smile bitterly: "You blame me for borrowing your hand to suppress Zhao Zixiu?" But if it weren't for you, someone else would have sent Zhao Ziyu's account book to Zhao Zixiu! ”
Yi Xiangxiang stood up when she heard this, and looked at Zhao Ziqian condescendingly: "Then why me?" Well? Why me? Yes, I want to help Mo Wen take revenge, but I don't want to end up and become indebted to Zhao Zixiu! ”
"You don't owe him anything! This is a struggle for imperial power, the winner is king, and the loser is cole! Zhao Ziqian was very excited.
"Heh, then you will have your royal power to yourself, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to talk about it.
At that time, when she was hiding in the Seven Princes' Mansion, she thought that she and Zhao Ziqian were at least friends, and as a result, a deal was a deal.
Her brother saved Zhao Ziqian's life, and the latter saved the life of her subordinates! She gave the account book prepared by Zhao Ziqian to Zhao Zixiu, and asked the latter to expose Zhao Ziyu's case of selling official positions, and indirectly avenged Mo Wen's family! However, Zhao Ziqian used the revelation of the betrayal case to make the saint degrade Zhao Zixiu, thus arching himself to the position of the crown prince. In this way, there is also a silver deal between her and Zhao Ziqian.
Then return from the bridge to the bridge, and the road to the road.
Zhao Ziqian saw Yi Xiangxiang lying down again, and said coolly: "Do you really want to choose him?" ”
This he, naturally, refers to Zhao Zixiu.
"I didn't choose him, didn't you pick up the Yi family? If you get the skill of saving the driver, then you will always be your soldiers under Zhao Ziqian! However, I promised Zhao Zixiu a promise that if he needs my help in the future, I will not stand idly by. ”
"What if he wants you to be my enemy?"
Yi Xiangxiang snorted coldly: "The Yi family is already your person, I have already spoken first, and he will not force me to choose between the Yi family and the promise." ”
Zhao Ziqian was a little relieved when he heard this: "He has actually been defeated, if he settles down in the future, I will not embarrass him, just treat it as if you repay his promise." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves to worry, but I promise that since I gave it myself, I won't bother you! Also, please don't interfere in my affairs in the future, for example, it is not your job to ask the envoy of Xiaodongguo! I'm also thinking about you too, so as not to make a big fuss after being misunderstood by someone with a heart! The Yi family will always be loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, so let's not be friends in the future, just be a monarch and a minister! In this way, everyone can be rational! It's late at night, so Your Highness should go back early to rest. ”
If it was a monarch, she would not care about Zhao Ziqian's design of her.
Zhao Ziqian's expression was unknown, and after a long time, he left Yongle Residence.
