Since Wen Yang left, the days in the palace have returned to their previous boring and boring nature, which is annoying.

A few days have passed, Gan Meng has always had no smiling face, he has always been gentle, very decent and proper, careful and serious in his work, but recently he seems to have something on his mind, and he has repeatedly made mistakes, either with the wrong medicine, or by overturning the medicine jar. is so abnormal, naturally some people see it, but when others ask him, they just say that they have nothing to do.

That night, it was his turn to give medicine to the emperor, and even the emperor couldn't help but say, "Recently, your master said that you were sick, and I still didn't believe it, but today I believe that you are really sick." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gan Meng didn't come back to his senses for a while, and after a while, the little eunuch on the side tugged at the corner of his clothes, and he hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty is worried, and the slave is fine." ”

The Emperor didn't mind, and continued, "In the past, if you had sent medicine, you would have divided it, and you would have prepared a cake made by you, just in case I felt bitter in my mouth after taking it. It's just that the medicine you sent today has not been divided, nor has you prepared pastries, and I think that your illness is not light. ”

When Gan Meng heard this, he quickly knelt down, "It's the slave who doesn't do things carefully, please punish ...... Your Majesty."

The Emperor smiled, put the medicine bowl back in the medicine plate, and continued, "I don't want to cure your sin, but I just want to know what is the cause of your illness. ”

Gan Meng was puzzled and couldn't answer.

"I made a bet with your master, your master said that you were sick just because of a little girl, but I didn't think so, you have always been a simple and cautious child, your master has so many apprentices, but I only look up to you."

"If you have a heart in the future, you will definitely be able to surpass your master. I hope that in addition to being cautious, you can also learn to be sensible, and your master is a sensible person, so you can be your master. After all, many things are wrong steps...... Many people just make the mistake of not being able to discern things. You see that the fruit is fresh, and you think it is a good thing, but you don't know that it is already bad in your heart, and when you bite into it, you know that it smells bad, and you can only spit it out. You can't ask for rotten fruit, throw it away early, and don't let it spoil other fruits. ”

He realized that the emperor had something to say.

But he didn't know how to reply, and his heart was in a mess.

"I remember, that little girl is a child of the Wen family?"

Gan Meng's heart sank, and he replied, "Yes......"

The emperor said meaningfully, "The people of the Wen family are smart. ”

"When I was still the crown prince, my father told me that the people of the Wen family were all extremely smart. It's just that everyone understands the truth that Huiji will be hurt. I also said the same thing to the crown prince that my father said to me back then, and I will tell you it today, can you understand? ”

"Yes......" Gan Meng kowtowed, feeling a faint pain in his heart," His Majesty Xie reminded. ”

The Emperor smiled, "It seems that I won the bet with your master." If your illness is cured, your master will not have to worry about you. After speaking, he motioned for him to retreat, "You can retreat." ”

"Yes......"

Gan Meng walked out of the temple gate and looked up to see that the moonlight was just right. He had only been in for half an hour, but he felt tormented.

As soon as his eyes closed, two lines of tears slipped quietly.

Why the tears? Gan Meng didn't know.

Was it the emperor's words that scared him, or did the palace make him feel bored......

Maybe it's both, maybe he just thought of Wen Yang......

In those days, for the first time, he felt that people don't have to think much about what they say, and that they don't have to worry about everything when they get along with people, as long as they are sincere, they can be rewarded.

He forgot that this was the Imperial Palace, the last place to be sincere.

With a long sigh, he was already destined to not escape from fate, if he had never seen a good one, he would not feel how bad it was now, but it was a pity that he was only trapped here in this life. While the tears were not dry, he wiped away the tears with the corners of his sleeves, strode away, and hid in the night—

——————————————————

In the early morning of the second day, Wen Yang woke up and found that there was no comfortable place on his body, especially his neck was sore and painful, but fortunately, it was not a problem to turn over and get up.

I tossed for too long last night, and I really tasted the bitterness this time, so I should have learned a lesson, and there is no good fruit to eat if I am greedy for fun!

I got out of bed and changed my bedclothes, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was snowing heavily, fluttering like goose feathers, such a big snow wrapped everything, and the plum trees in the courtyard still had no flowers this year, but there was a touch of red missing in such a beautiful snow, which made people feel a little regretful.

Snow......

She still has no thoughts about that dream, but thinking of her mother makes her even more sad.

She walked down the corridor to the main hall, and on the way she bumped into the maidservant Satsuki holding her clothes from last night.

Xiao Yue said to Wen Yang, "Miss, I was about to send the clothes back to your room." ”

Wen Yang then remembered that he was in a hurry when he left yesterday, and even forgot to take his clothes with him.

"I'm sorry to trouble Sister Yue'er,"

Xiao Yue said with a smile, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, by the way, I heard from the little guy who sent the clothes, his son-in-law brought a letter to Miss." He handed her the letter.

Wen Yang took the letter and saw that the word "bird" was written on the envelope.

Bird......

Puzzled, she opened the letter and read it, "Wait for me." ”

After reading the letter, she hurriedly asked, "Sister Yue'er, who sent the little maid?" ”

"He said that he was from General Shen's family......"

Shen Jia...... But she didn't know the people of the Shen family......

...... Shen family? She remembered the two brothers of the Shen family last night, could it be that they were friends of the second brother?

Could it be that the bird back then was ...... People from the Shen family?

She had already guessed half of the points in her heart, and the remaining half points would have to be seen for herself.

At night, Xiao Yue saw that she was asleep and wondered, why did she sleep so early today? But when she left, she still blew out the candle in her room, in fact, she didn't fall asleep, and as soon as Satsuki left, she opened her eyes later.

She was going to wait, but she wasn't sure it would come.

It's almost time to make an appointment.

Sure enough, after a while, someone gently knocked on her door.

She was startled, and after a little composure, she walked over and opened the door.

Shen Chengxiao's eyes were darker than the night, and he stood at the door and looked at her like this, without saying a word.

The handsome young man who was much taller than her in front of her was the young man in black last night, and she was so unfamiliar with this face that she couldn't connect him with the "bird" eight years ago.

She asked slowly, her tone full of uncertainty, "You...... You are...... Birds...... Is it? ”

Although Shen Chengxiao had a lot to say in his heart, he was secretly entering the Xiuyuan Platform today, which was obviously not a good time to speak, he said, "Say it in another place." ”

"But how do you get out like that?"

"I'll take you out as I got in."

Before she could ask the sentence "Then how did you get in", Shen Chengxiao had already hugged her after saying "offended", and before she could react, she only felt that her body was light, and she didn't even scream, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them stood safely on the roof.

"Are you scared?" He asked her with his head down.

She shook her head stubbornly, but honestly closed her eyes tightly.

When he saw her like this, he felt a little funny, but he was still expressionless.

He took a breath, as if he was walking on a feather, stepping over the bricks and tiles without making a sound, and his steps were brisk. She could only hear the wind whistling in her ears in his arms, and she didn't dare to think what was going on. He was so light and strong that even if he was holding a person in his arms, he was still as light as a swallow, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at a pavilion in the middle of a lake.

He put her down, and she felt only a wave of vertigo. It was windy at night, and it was in the pavilion in the lake again, and she couldn't help but shiver. Seeing this, he took off his coat and put it on her, although this dress was thin, it had the body temperature he left, which immediately made her feel a lot warmer.

"You...... Give me the clothes, what about you? ”

The ink in Shen Chengxiao's eyes was still unwavering, like a pool of still water, and said, "I am a person who practices martial arts, you don't have to worry." ”

She felt a little dizzy from the cold, and sat on the stone chair with her head for a while, and when she looked up at him again, he was facing away from her, and his back was as lonely as his, making it impossible to get close.

She slowly asked, "Are you, a bird when you were a child?" ”

He remained silent.

This...... Is it a default?

She asked, "Is there anything you are looking for me today?" "The situation is really strange at the moment, one of her daughters came to the pavilion with a strange man in the middle of the night. What's the matter, I should also say it during the day, he and his second brother are friends again, and he has no contact with her, what can he do to find her?

But what's the connection...... Eight years ago, when Wen Yang was only eight or nine years old, she sneaked out of Xiuyuantai again, and when she passed by an alley, she saw a group of children of the same age bullying another child, who was thin and small, with a pale sickly look on his face, curled up in a ball.

Wen Yang recognized them, they were all child kings on the street, and they were used to bullying people on weekdays, but they didn't dare to bully Wen Yang, just because she had a powerful brother.

Wen Yang looked at it for a while and finally stood up to relieve him, she shouted at them, "Brother Wen Jue is here!" The group of children looked at Wen Yang one after another, and when they saw that it was really her, they all ran away in an instant. She walked over and helped him to his feet, and found that he was half a head shorter than her, and his body was weak, as if he would fall down after taking two steps.

The kid said "thank you" weakly, Wen Yang saw that he seemed to be dressed like a little young master, why did he fall into the hands of civilian children and be bullied? He was really curious and couldn't help but ask, and he said that he was walking well, and the group of children ran over and pushed him.

Wen Yang nodded, with a sympathetic look on his little face, probably because he saw that he was a bully, and he looked like a young master, so he treated him like that......

Wen Yang loves to fight for this kind of thing, although he is young, his temperament is very righteous, and he can't help but be angry when he hears about such a thing, "You have to learn to resist, even if you are beaten to the point that your head is bleeding, you have to rush forward!" That's what my dad said. If you don't fight back, someone will always bully you, endlessly! ”

"I have an older brother and a younger sister, and they're amazing! I've never seen anyone dare to bully them! ”

The child was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and said nothing, but he was envious in his heart, envious of her righteousness, and envious of her being protected......

After that, she took him to the sand by the river beach to play, and asked him his name, and he took a small branch and wrote on the sand, "Shen Chengxiao".

She didn't know any of them except the word "Cheng", only that the husband at home had taught her, but she forgot how to read it, she pointed to the word "owl" to read "bird", she thought the name was funny, but even if she read it wrong, the other party did not refute or laugh, a pair of good-looking eyes looked at her like this, although he was a child, but the eyes made people feel that they did not match the depth of the age, like a lake that could not be seen clearly at night.

……

These things have long been on her mind, and she has never seen the "birds" since they returned home that day.

The young man in front of him was the thin little boy at that time, and now he has grown into a teenager, with sword energy and heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and now he has grown up, and he is much taller than her.

He has changed, but his deep eyes can see through people at a glance.

He was frail and sickly when he was young, he didn't like to talk to people, and he was born in a general, so he was bullied by children of the same age and didn't dare to tell his elders.

There is nothing to do, and the Shen family can't keep cowards.

If she is an opportunity for him to change, then the real reason is only because of his surname Shen. He has worked hard to hone himself to become what he is now, and he has long since stopped being bullied. Now he is charging on the battlefield, and he is extremely brave, and seeing him is like seeing a hell Yama, and his swords, guns, swords, and halberds are all emotionless in his hands.

He said, "You were the one who saved me." ”

Wen Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was just more bold at that time, I don't even remember it, haha...... You ...... too. Don't take it too seriously. ”

Shen Chengxiao looked at her, his eyes were calm, rational, and even ruthless, looking at her with such eyes, making her feel as if she was on a chopping board, a piece of meat to be slaughtered in his hands, at a loss.

Wen Yang's face flushed slightly when he saw it, but fortunately he couldn't see it at night, he just wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, "For...... Why did the messenger meet me at night? It can also be said during the day......"

"Because, it's inconvenient."

"Why?" Not convenient during the day? Could it be that this is a rule?

He paused, as if pondering what to answer.

Helplessly, he really wouldn't lie and find a reason, and the real reason couldn't be told directly, so he thought about it for a while, but still replied, "It's nothing." ”

Waiting for an answer for a long time made her speechless, and she couldn't help but slander in her heart, this person is too boring, and his mind is heavy, and it is really difficult to talk.

He also found the atmosphere a little awkward, so he opened his mouth to change the subject, "I actually only have one thing to do today, and that is to hand this over to you." He placed a piece of bamboo the size of an index finger into her hand, "This is flint wolf smoke, in case of danger, just pull this ring open and throw it to the ground, no matter where you are, I will definitely save you." ”

She had seen flint wolf smoke in the book, this was a commonly used herald on the battlefield, a small section could emit seven days of continuous wolf smoke, and could locate the enemy's location. Moreover, "flint" also has a special smell, which can remain on the user for several days, and there is no way to eliminate it even by bathing and changing clothes, so it can only wait for it to fade alone.

She knew about the gadget, so when he handed it into her hands, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and it was so reassuring to say it. But why did he do it? Is it because she helped him once a few years ago?

When I raised my eyes to thank him, I found that his eyes were much softer, and there was a faint smile on his lips when he said this.

When he saw her looking at him, he immediately hid his smile and added awkwardly, "Only this time, I will only save your life once." ”
