Chapter 080: Leaving Beijing
Hua Mian didn't expect things to turn so around. She initially thought that Pei Yingshi was scheming, and she and Pei Gongcuo may not be of the same mind, but after a few contacts, she felt that she was a villain's heart. When she almost believed that Pei Yingshi and Pei Gongcuo had a very close relationship, but found that he and Pei Qijun were very familiar with the secret song, she couldn't help but sigh, Pei Yingshi was really a scheming person, I am afraid that Pei Gongcuo and Pei Qijun are both good-looking.
Seeing Pei Yingshi wrapping herself in the quilt and carrying herself out of the house, Hua Mian remembered that the soul was pulled back to her body by a strong force after leaving her soul last time, and this time her soul stayed next to her body for a long time and didn't see any strength to pull herself back, I don't know why? But now is not the time to think about this, the only thing she can do is to follow Pei Yingshi all the way.
This chase lasted all night. Pei Yingshi used a carriage to take Hua Mian to a courtyard on the outskirts of Guang'an, near the capital, and the carriage passed through the gate of the triple courtyard all the way to the "Bixi Garden".
Pei Yingshi took Hua Mian off the carriage and went straight to a hot spring covered by green bamboo. And a handmaid came to meet him, and he was commanded. Pei Yingshi gave a simple order, and then wanted to tear off the quilt and put Hua Mian into the water.
Hua Mian was embarrassed and anxious beside her, and she didn't know how to stop it, but she saw Pei Ying stop her movements in relief, looked at the person in her arms with a complicated expression, and finally handed her over to the maid beside her as if she had made up her mind, and she turned around and walked out of the hot spring.
Hua Mian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then caught up with Pei Yingshi.
After Pei Ying released into the main hall, she turned into the bedroom, opened a cabinet door, and carefully took out a straight-waisted and long-hemped deep coat embroidered with dark gold peony butterfly pattern on a pure white background woven from silk. He gently stroked the delicate pattern of his skirt, and his deep eyes stared at one place for a long time, as if he had not seen anything, but only remembered something.
Hua Mian remembered that Pei Qijun said that he also liked women. In this way, this dress must have been left by the woman he once loved deeply. But for some reason, they were separated, and he went further and further on the road of broken sleeves.
Hua Mian couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was also a poor child.
It's just that before she finished her emotion, her soul was forcefully pulled back to her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a maid of about thirteen or fourteen years old, blushing and rubbing her body from top to bottom. Presumably, it was the bath and massage that accelerated the blood circulation, so that her qi and blood were smooth, and her soul would return to her body.
But why did this servant girl blush? Hua Mian couldn't help but look at her body, and she was suddenly ashamed. I saw that her originally smooth skin was now covered with red and purple kiss marks, and the maid thought that she was trying to eliminate these marks by massage.
She pushed away the handmaiden's troubled little hand, got up and walked up the white jade steps in the pool. When she arrived at the pool, she took the bath towel from the handmaid next to her and wiped it and put it back, and then reached out to another handmaid to take the clothes and shake them open. When the clothes were displayed in front of her, she was suddenly stunned, turned her head to look at the person beside her, and looked at each other in a daze for a long time, and after a moment, a sharp cry resounded through the sky.
Pei Yingshi covered Hua Mian's mouth and whispered in her ear: "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to stop your shouting for a while, but can you save me some face in front of my subordinates?" Is it okay to say something in our room? ”
Hua Mian glared at him fiercely, and said with her lips, "Get out." ”
Pei Ying's eyes were smiling, and her gaze quickly swept over her whole body defiantly, and then disappeared in front of her like a wind before she could get angry.
When Hua Mian appeared in front of Pei Yingshi again, in addition to the unconcealable amazement in his eyes, there seemed to be a thick sadness that could not be dissolved.
Hua Mian's curiosity suddenly rose, she turned around and said straight to the point: "Do I look good in this dress, or does she look good in it?" ”
Pei Yingshi was stunned for a moment, and then hooked her lips and smiled: "You are really eccentric, you can even guess this." ”
Hua Mian smiled and motioned for him to continue.
Pei Ying let out a smile, turned her eyes to look at the sky that was gradually brightening, and said in a low voice: "I haven't had time to give her this dress yet." ”
It seems that it is another sad love song, Hua Mian said regretfully: "It's really a pity." So what kind of person is she? ”
Pei Yingshi said faintly: "She is not very beautiful, she is still six years older than me, but she is kind-hearted and very good to me, after the concubine was imprisoned in the cold palace, she is the person who cares about me the most." ”
"Oh?" Hua Mian was curious, "Whose girl can be so favored by King Duan?" ”
Pei Yingshi chuckled: "She is the palace maid by my side." After I left the palace, she has been waiting by the Queen Mother's side. ”
Hua Mian opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Duanwang is really extraordinary. No wonder you failed to achieve positive results, I think it was because the lintel was obstructed by the Queen Mother. ”
Pei Yingshi shook her head: "You are only half right. ”
Hua Mian was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Wasn't she executed by the Queen Mother?" ”
As soon as the words came out, she regretted her crow mouth a little, but the huge sadness emanating from Pei Yingshi's body told her that she guessed correctly.
"Why?" Hua Mian paced to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"If you want to execute a palace maid, does it matter for what reason?"
"Yes." Hua Mian said sympathetically, "The crime of seducing the prince alone can also cost her head." ”
Pei Yingshi was silent for a long time, only her eyes were a little dark.
Hua Mian said to herself: "She is not your biological mother, so she is a little more broad." Besides, it's just a little palace maid, why do you have to put her to death? Didn't she know what made the Queen Mother have to kill her? Anyway, you didn't see her make a big move when you broke your sleeves. ”
Seeing Pei Gongcuo looking at herself with complicated eyes, she hurriedly pulled the quilt and lay down and said, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously." ”
Pei Yingshi walked to the side of the bed and pulled her out of the quilt.
She was shocked and said, "I'm really just talking casually, don't be angry with me." ”
Pei Yingshi didn't say anything, put her hand into her arms and took out a small porcelain bottle, poured some medicinal powder into her hand, and then gently applied it to her injured neck.
His movements are extremely gentle, and the touch in his hands seems to be fragile treasures, giving Hua Mian the illusion of being cherished and cared for. She looked at the broken sleeve of this woman she once liked, and sighed regretfully again.
After smearing the wound, Pei Yingshi took out another bottle of ointment and threw it to her: "This is a traceless ointment, apply it to the kiss marks on your body, and your skin will soon be restored." ”
Hua Mian then remembered the embarrassment of being looked at by him, and her face suddenly turned red, and she wanted to attack him, but when she thought that a good man was forced to break his sleeves, her sympathy overflowed, and she suppressed the question that was about to blurt out, and asked instead: "What is her name?" ”
"Red apricots." Pei Yingshi did not shy away from it.
"Huh? Oh, that's a good name. "It's just too easy to associate with. Hua Mian took the medicine bottle into her arms and flattered, "Thank you for saving me today." Can you be a good person and send me back to Huangjue'an? ”
Pei Yingshi glanced at her, and said with a smile: "No." You'd better give up the idea of going back from now on and stay by my side for the rest of your life. ”
Hua Mian's heart couldn't help sinking, it turned out that what Pei Yingshi said to Pei Qijun was not an expedient measure, so does this mean that she will never be free again in the future? She turned around stupidly, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes and said, "I'm so tired, I slept." ”
After tossing all night, she was really tired, and fell asleep in a moment.
Pei Yingshi stepped forward to cover the quilt for her, and then stood for a long time, and finally let out a faint sigh.
