Chapter 319: New Night Collides
Huff.
Because the two of them were too extreme, full of anger and peace with one faction, the collision of ice and fire returned to tranquility.
The back garden is quiet at night, and most people go to the lively banquet, so that no one wants to come to such a dark and wet place, unless it is a person who deliberately avoids the bustle and bustle and is not afraid of gloom and loneliness.
Although New Night is not as lively as Chinese New Year's Eve, it also has many customs and good expectations, and tonight seems to mean a lot to everyone, after all, it is a festival that has not been pleasant for a long time.
Asking for blessings under the moon, the new night is quiet and beautiful, Liu Li naturally wanted to spend it with Xue Ze, but he didn't expect that he would be unable to control himself after seeing that scene, and even he became surprised and doubted, when did he lose his breath so much?
Going the other way, Yukisawa walked a long way until there was no breath of anyone around anymore.
Calming down, the words just said reappeared in his mind, and Xue Ze's heart slowly gathered shame, annoyance, and uneasiness......
"Shouldn't I be so indifferent? After all, he has helped me so much, and there is a friendship between us, so isn't it too angry? I agreed to read a book tonight, although I didn't agree, but I didn't explicitly refuse, and it was also considered my no-show!" Yukizawa thought as he walked, feeling more and more guilty.
Liu Li walked to a bridge and saw some lotus lanterns floating on the water surface under the bridge, and he was quite uneasy.
The lantern floats and flutters slowly, as quiet as a glowing water lily. In such a wonderful scene, Liu Li first thought of Xue Ze, but he her off.
Although she and Mu Fan were alone, they didn't go over, just admiring the moon, just laughing and talking... What the hell do I can't see? She walks with others, she talks to others, she smiles softly at others...... I can't bear any of them, when has my selfishness been so heavy? How can I not tolerate the wicked like that, but I can't tolerate her? Thousands of people, but she is the only one who suffers from my most direct and impulsive emotions, which is really shameful!"
Liu Li stopped, looked at the lanterns, turned around and walked back. At this time, Yukizawa also felt that he should return with apologies, so he also turned around.
The two have been separated for some time, and the way back is complicated, and no one knows where the person went after parting.
Liu Li met a person before he could return to the place where he was separated.
The moonlight shines on the garden, but the road is not very bright, and the lanterns on the sparkling water are even brighter, which seems to reconcile a little warmth and romance.
He Yu was full of joy and couldn't help sighing: Fortunately, we put the lotus lantern, and the new night was not lonely, and it attracted the people I wanted to see the most. Shearling, you need to put more!
Liu Li glanced at He Yu, smiled slightly, and wanted to leave from the side.
The path was very narrow, with the river on one side and the stone wall on the other, and He Yu didn't seem to have any intention of getting out of the way, so Liu Li had to talk to her first.
"What are you doing here?"
"The new night is boring, He Yu thinks of the days of Xihai Mansion, so he sends his emotions to the lanterns! Emperor, it's so late, why are you here? No matter how beautiful the moonlit night is, it's a little sad to enjoy it here!"
He Yu looked at Liu Li, his expression had already told her the truth, but she still had to ask like this, maybe it could make him add a little bit of resentment towards Xue Ze.
Liu Li didn't look around, and replied indifferently: "The scenery here is good, just walk around when you have nothing to do, and there is no sadness!"
"Oh, so?" He Yu smiled lightly and said lightly: "I listened to the palace maid's chatter, the emperor seems to have been drunk in Yuexuan, why doesn't Concubine Xue accompany you out for a walk?
Liu Li looked at He Yu indifferently, with some displeasure and annoyance in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
"I was in Zuiyue Xuan before, and the food there was delicious, so I couldn't help but eat more! I just came out for a walk! Xue Concubine was sick and couldn't move around, so I didn't bring her with me, is there a problem with this?"
"No, no!" He Yu looked at Liu Li slowly and warmly, "If the emperor is tired, He Yu can talk to you to relieve your worries." If the emperor is not sleepy or tired, He Yu is willing to walk this garden path with you. How can you be alone in the new night?"
Liu Li shook his head, "No need, I'm just single now!"
He Yu lowered his head and smiled, bitter and sad. "In that case, it is time for He Yu to give way. It's just that my little sister doesn't know where to go, and the lanterns here are not good to put again, can the emperor do He Yu a small favor?"
Liu Li was stunned and looked around, there was indeed no one here.
"If I don't help her, then she definitely won't let me leave early, what if Xue Ze sees it?
"What's the matter?"
He Yu smiled slightly and took the basket behind him. "Put the lanterns!"
"This matter?" Liu Li looked at He Yu suspiciously, "How do you need me to help with this?"
"The water here is deep and the road is steep, and the rain is not familiar with the water, for fear of falling into the river. There was a little sister pulling me before, and it was quite safe, can the emperor help me with one or two?"
"What?" Liu Li was quite reluctant, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
He Yu lowered his head and smiled, full of anticipation in his heart: If I can hold your hand tonight, this year will be a complete one! In the future, I am full of hope, that is a good sign!
Liu Li raised his hands and looked at them, his face was embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "How do you want me to pull you? Although there is no one here, but men and women are not kissed! If you really want to put lanterns, then I will directly help you put everything in the basket into the water, okay?"
"The emperor doesn't understand customs, and he doesn't know how to put the lanterns I make into the water, so this matter can only be left to He Yu!"
"Is it that complicated?"
"Sort of!"
"This ......" Liu Li hesitated for a moment, and looked around unnaturally, as if looking for a figure but found nothing.
"Your Majesty, if you're embarrassed, let's go!"
"What about you?"
"I'll do it myself!"
He Yu thought about it, sighed, and said with a little sadness: "Actually, one is enough, make up an even number, and my wish can be realized! If it is a singular number, it may not be smooth in the coming year, but it will do bad things with good intentions!"
Liu Li looked around again, confirmed that there was silence, and said, "Then I'll help you put one!"
He Yu smiled softly, put down the basket without hesitation, took out the lantern and looked at Liu Li. "Why don't you squat down too? You can also see how the lanterns I made are launched!"
The water by the river is so cool that you can feel the chill even on the shore.
There is a faint white mist on the water surface, illuminated by the faint red light of the lanterns, and a warm and romantic red mist spreads, which has a different style that infects people.
Liu Li looked at the water and thought that she would like this kind of scenery too. He Yu held Liu Li's hand, no matter how indifferent he was, he never let go, this kind of warmth was more dreamy and gorgeous than any lantern beauty.
In the end, a sharp female voice broke the silence of the night and brought He Yu's fantasy back to reality.
"Cousin!"
He Yu got up and looked, only to see the shearling calling her from the bridge in the distance.
He Yu was thinking about blaming, but found a woman with a heavy face standing next to the shear. "How can they be together? and still be so safe?"
"Your Majesty, this!" He Yu looked at Liu Li's complicated expression, and then looked at his empty hand.
Since Liu Li saw Xue Ze, he immediately broke free of his hand, and only a cool breeze remained in He Yu's palm.
Liu Li looked at Xue Ze, and Xue Ze also looked at him.
Shearing looked at He Yu casually, and whispered to Xue Ze: "If you don't want to reveal your identity, then pretend not to know me, and I will pretend not to know you!"
Xue Ze glanced at Shearvel coldly, turned to leave, and the emotions in his heart were difficult to settle: How could he be with He Yu? Shearling suddenly appeared and brought me here just to prove to the emperor that she was innocent? In the future, she can come and go freely, what is the purpose of such a deliberate plan? Could it be that this palace still has what she wants? What can make her so attentive than to take revenge on me?
"Aifei!"
Liu Li's voice sounded behind her, Xue Ze's heart hurt suddenly, and she stopped but regretted it a little.
He Yu also rushed over, she looked at the shearing in surprise, only to hear her whisper in her ear: "Sister, Xue Concubine didn't recognize me, I can still help you do things in the future!"
"Come and meet the emperor and Xue Concubine!" He Yu pulled the shearer over, and was about to salute but was stopped by Liu Li.
"You don't have to salute, you go back!" Liu Li's eyes were all on Xue Ze, and he finished speaking without looking back, and went to explain and apologize to Xue Ze......
Yukisawa took a deep breath and became much calmer. "Your Majesty, you don't have to explain, the concubines don't have much heart!"
He Yu smiled softly, pulled the velvet and said, "Your Majesty, this is all my cousin's playfulness." If she were by my side, I wouldn't have to bother the emperor to help me personally. Falling into the water is a trivial matter, and it is not good to let Xue Concubine misunderstand!"
Shearling laughed in a low voice, and said softly: "Sister, isn't there a misunderstanding between Xue Concubine Niangniang?"
"You're embarrassed to say, maybe you're still a big misunderstanding! If it weren't for the emperor's trust in the Jianqiu Pavilion, you would have been guillotined by the rumors in the palace! Don't you thank the emperor?"
"Thank you for your insight!" Shearvel saluted, but his eyes never left Xueze.
Liu Li looked at the two people behind him, nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "This matter is over, don't mention it again!"
"Emperor Xie!"
Xue Ze turned to the side briskly, and said as he walked: "You guys chat, the concubine has retired first!"
He Yu smiled proudly, with a kind of refreshment that forced Xue Ze away. If Liu Li didn't step forward to grab her, it would be perfect!
"Aifei's cooking is good, I just came out to eat, and I bothered Aifei to come out to look for it, it's really my fault! It's cold at night, let's go back!"
Xue Ze was stunned for a moment, and wanted to get rid of it, but found that Liu Li's grip was getting tighter and tighter, and he wanted to say something, but it was difficult to speak out because of the number of people.
"I have heard for a long time that Concubine Xue is gentle and virtuous, but I didn't expect to be good at cooking, this is really a blessing for the emperor!"
"This is nature!" Liu Li saw Xue Ze's gloomy face, so he praised a few more words: "Concubine Ai is full of talent and many skills, which is indeed surprising." It is my greatest blessing to be able to marry a concubine in this life!"
He Yu smiled, stared at Xue Ze and said, "Everyone in the palace knows that Xue Concubine is seriously ill, and this is a critical moment. Please also ask Xue Concubine to stay in Zuiyue Xuan for a few more days, don't make people suspicious, otherwise He Yu's lie will not be fulfilled!"
Xue Ze was stunned, she understood the meaning of He Yu's words but was unwilling to respond.
Is this to thank her for hiding it from me? And want me to apologize for the hasty interruption? It should be, but I just don't want to, why is that?
"I'll take Concubine Ai back, and you should go back early!" Liu Li nervously walked up to Xue Ze and tentatively put his hand on her shoulder.
Xue Ze was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and took a step with an expressionless face.
"Aifei, slow down!" Liu Li smiled slightly, grabbed Xue Ze's waist and walked away with her slowly, leaving only silence for He Yu.
