Winter goes to spring and I don't know the time (20)

"Why did you take the hijab off yourself?"

With a "squeak", the door was opened, and Xia Yuan's indifferent voice came in from outside the room.

The mandarin duck was shocked, hurriedly touched the bed, picked up the red hijab that he had thrown on the bed, and put it on his head again.

Fortunately, the light in the room itself was dim, and Xia Yuan didn't see the appearance of the mandarin duck under the head.

"I didn't ...... No. ”

"Forget it, don't worry about this for now, you come with me first." Xia Yuan walked into the room, tore off the hijab that the mandarin duck had just put on his head and threw it aside, and just wanted to pull her up and walk out, but after seeing the mandarin duck's appearance clearly, he stepped back in surprise, "Ah Yang? How are you? Didn't I let you go home? What's going on here? ”

"Back to what's home? Your Majesty, isn't this my home? The mandarin duck hurriedly pretended not to understand what Xia Yuan was saying.

"No, I'm asking you to go back to the General's Mansion."

"General's Mansion? Why should I go back to the General's Palace? And where is the General's Palace? Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? ”

"Are you really Ah Yang? No, you're not a duck, what's your name? ”

"Back to the emperor, the little girl's name is Mandarin Duck."

"You are a mandarin duck, then how can you not know the General's Mansion, what is going on?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why do I need to know the General's Mansion? The mandarin duck tilted his head and looked at Xia Yuan curiously.

"Because the General's Mansion is your home...... It's not you......" Xia Yuan suddenly seemed to understand something, isn't this mandarin duck breaking his head? "Ah Yang, I ask you, where are you from?"

"I'm a witch from the Western Regions, so naturally I'm from the Western Regions."

"Have you always lived in the Western Regions?"

"This ...... I don't know very well, but for as long as I can remember, I've been in the Western Regions. ”

"When do you remember the earliest?"

"About a few months ago? However, the owner of the village said that I grew up in the Western Regions since I was a child, and the owner of the village is a good person, so I believe him! ”

"In that case, then why did you come to the Central Plains?"

"Because when I see your portrait, I want to marry you! So he ran out of the stockade with the lord of Chu Gu. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Xia Yuanhu stared suspiciously at the mandarin duck's eyes, trying to find a trace of lying in her eyes, but after meeting her untimid and clear eyes, Xia Yuan believed that the mandarin duck in front of him had really lost his memory.

"Okay, let's not worry about this for now, you come with me first."

"Yes."

The mandarin duck got up from the bed, but because of sitting for a long time, her legs were a little stiff, but fortunately, Xia Yuan supported her body in time and didn't let her fall to the ground.

"Be careful." Xia Yuan saw that the mandarin duck was almost on its feet, so he slowly let go of his hand.

Her face flushed, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Nothing."

Xia Yuan strode out of the room, and didn't care if the mandarin duck could keep up with him, so he walked out without looking back.

The mandarin duck carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and indeed as she had guessed at first, this room was in a very remote corner of the palace, and the path under her feet was already overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it up for a long time.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" The mandarin duck trotted a few steps, caught up with Xia Yuan, and asked sideways.

And since Xia Yuan came out of that room, he hasn't seen the mandarin duck once, even now.

"Go to see Ah Lan, in the days before you came, Ah Lan had been avoiding me and refused to come out to see me, I really missed her."

Ahh The mandarin duck held back his anger, but he still had to pretend to be curious: "But if the emperor wants to see her, why do you want to take me with you?" ”

Xia Yuan paused, turned his head, and looked at the face that looked like Wen Mu, "Didn't Gongzi Chu tell you?" ”

"Young Master Chu didn't tell me anything."

"I don't know why I have a strange disease, as long as I get close to Ah Yan, my chest will hurt as if it is torn, Chu Gongzi told me that after marrying a witch from the Western Regions, I can alleviate my illness, and it is because of this that I agreed to accept you as a concubine, but I really didn't expect that the witch that Chu Gongzi said was actually you."

"So that's the case, so you took me just to see if what Master Chu said was true?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Along the way, Xia Yuan never said a word to Mandarin Duck again, he was bent on returning to Wen Mu's side as soon as possible, so he always sped up his steps when he didn't realize it.

The mandarin duck had a hard time following, but she didn't dare to say anything, how she wished that she could be alone with Xia Yuan for a longer time now, it was enough for her to just look at his back from a distance.

"Where's Ran?" After walking out of the side hall, Xia Yuan casually grabbed the shoulders of a palace maid.

"The Emperor...... The emperor ......" The palace maid was frightened by Xia Yuan's sudden voice, and her face turned pale instantly, and even the hand holding the wooden basin became stiff and unable to move, "The emperor ...... The Queen Mother is now ...... It is time to rest in the dormitory. ”

"Hmm."

It wasn't until Xia Yuan walked away that the palace maid relaxed her body and poured the contents of the wooden basin into the stone mill.

It's really scary!

"Ahh Before Xia Yuan entered the dormitory, the voice had already reached Wen Yuan's ears.

Wen Mu hurriedly put down the embroidery in his hand, stood up from the side of the bed, and looked around, but there was no other place for him to hide, "Your Majesty, why are you here, didn't I tell you that we won't meet for this time?" ”

"It's fine, Ah, I don't hurt anymore." Xia Yuan pushed open the door of the dormitory, quickly walked into the room, and hugged Wen Mu into his arms, "Look, I have nothing to do now, Ah Lan, I really miss you." ”

"Haven't we seen each other in a few days? How can it be as exaggerated as you say. Seeing that Xia Yuan was indeed standing in front of her, Wen Muan's heart that had been holding together for several days finally let go, she gently closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to hug him back.

"If you don't see each other for a day, it's like three autumns, and you don't know it." Xia Yuan let go of Wen Mu's body and stroked Wen Mu's bulging lower abdomen with his hand, "Has Ling'er grown up a little more?" ”

"Well, I can feel Ling'er's liveliness at night lately."

"Thank you, Ah."

"With you, it's hard to talk about." Wen Mu noticed that Xia Yuan was actually following a person behind her, but she didn't know when this person started standing outside the door, and there was no sound, and there was even a feeling that the more she looked at it, the more familiar she became, "This is ...... Sister? ”

The mandarin duck clasped his hands, half-leaning against the door, and his eyes were not shy about staring at the two of them. Wen Mu didn't know when she started looking, or where she heard it.

The sun rose behind her, and she hid in the shadows, and at this moment she looked so cold that Wen Mu's heart trembled.
