152 A thorn
This night, Ruotang didn't dare to close his eyes at all, for fear that Chu Qianlan would burn up in the middle of the night, rubbing his hands and feet from time to time, and measuring his body temperature with his hands.
Chu Qianlan also slept very heavily because of this day's toss. didn't know that Ruotang guarded him all night. When I opened my eyes the next day, I found that she was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding one of his arms and sleeping soundly.
As soon as he moved, she woke up in shock, and while testing his body temperature with her hand, she asked in a daze, "Are you awake?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”
Chu Qianlan saw that she hadn't taken off her clothes, so she knew that she had taken care of him all night, and her heart was soft, so she stretched out her hand and pulled her up, covered her with a big cover, and wrapped her tightly.
I saw her still struggling under the quilt. Chu Qianlan straightened her face: "Don't move, close your eyes and sleep!" ”
Ruotang closed his eyes as he said, but he didn't fall asleep, "The doctor I invited last night is still in the house." Let him come over to probe your pulse, I can rest assured when you are fine, and I can sleep when I am relieved. ”
Seeing her insistent look, Chu Qianlan had no choice but to rely on her and asked a doctor to come over. Ruotang is about to get up, after all, it is not good for people to see that the two of them are still wrapped in the quilt in broad daylight.
Chu Qianlan pressed her with one hand and couldn't move, and with a wave of the other hand, the bed curtain fell, "Isn't this okay?" ”
Seeing this, Ruotang no longer insisted, looking at him, although his face was still a little pale, but his mental state was very good, he couldn't help but let go of half of his heart first, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, he felt sleepy and struck. I couldn't help but yawn delicately.
Chu Qianlan stretched out her hand to smooth out the wrinkles in her eyebrows, and said softly: "You really don't have to worry about me, I am from a martial arts background, and my body is better than others, but I am a little cold, and it will be fine to take a hot bath and drink a bowl of ginger soup and sweat." You're so nervous. ”
Although the words are complaining, the tone is gentle and sweet.
It was the first time in his life that there was a person who was so nervous about him, and he couldn't take care of himself for him.
She's not the same as that woman!
Again, he told himself.
Ruotang glanced at him with a smile, opened his hand and hugged him, half joking and half serious: "I'm not nervous, who is nervous?" Thou art my heaven, if thou shalt fall. How is it good to call me? ”
Chu Qianlan was silent for a moment, and then hugged her back, and whispered in her ear as if assuring: "Don't be afraid, I won't collapse." ”
Ruotang leaned on this man's arms, the atmosphere was warm and mellow, and the air was full of pleasant and comfortable smells, which made people fascinated. was caressed by him without a match, and the force was just right, her eyelids gradually increased, and finally fell asleep completely.
……
When she woke up, all she could hear was a deliberately muffled conversation in the room.
looked over along the voice, only to find that it was Zhou Liangyun's mother and daughter who were talking in a whisper.
They didn't notice that she had woken up, Ruotang rolled her eyes, and was about to rush over to scare them unexpectedly, and when she gently pulled the quilt on her body, she heard her aunt speak in a low voice, "Why is Sister Tang uncomfortable, the prince didn't accompany her, but went to accompany the concubine?" Didn't you say that Prince Xiang loves Sister Tang very much, why doesn't it look like this? ”
Sensing Zhou Liangyun's gaze and glanced at her vigilantly, Ruotang hurriedly closed his eyes.
I heard Zhou Liangyun say to the eldest aunt in a warning manner, "Mother, you can just say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of Sister Tang-you think, if the prince doesn't care about Sister Tang, how can he order someone to take us over early in the morning?" It's just that he's a prince, a man, three wives and four concubines or something, it's inevitable to ......"
The eldest aunt said menacingly: "If Zhengqing dares to have three wives and four concubines, see that I don't break his legs!" ”
Zhou Liangyun's eyebrows jumped, and before she could speak, she heard Ruotang can't help but let out a "poof" laugh. Hurriedly glanced at the embarrassed mother-in-law, and then walked towards Ruotang with a straight face, "Wake up and don't make a sound, what's bad to hold back?" ”
"You're chatting with your aunt and uncle, I'm embarrassed to interrupt you." Ruotang got up and knelt on the bed, "My uncle and uncle are here together?" ”
Zhou Liangyun only looked at Ruotang's expression, obviously she had heard what Chu Qianlan had just said, and she was a little worried that she would be unhappy because of this.
The eldest aunt obviously didn't have that worry, and opened her mouth and replied: "It's all here, all of them are here, originally the prince was talking with them, who knows what people from the Changchun Pavilion came to spread a word, and the prince left them and went to the Changchun Pavilion......"
"Mother!" Zhou Liangyun hurriedly stopped her.
Only then did the eldest aunt remember her daughter's instructions just now, and lowered her head a little sneeringly.
"Alright, alright." Ruotang went to pull Zhou Liangyun's hand, "What can't you say about this?" This huge palace is all the prince's, he can go wherever he wants, and he can go to see whoever he wants, can I still hold a grudge against him because of this? ”
After all the beauties in the Changchun Pavilion were killed by the "assassins", Ruotang had an intuition that without Duan Qingyi, who was stumbling over those beauties, sooner or later there would still be moths. It's just that she didn't expect that she would choose to call Chu Qianlan over in public today when the Zhou family came over, if she said that she didn't mean it, she wouldn't believe it if she killed Ruotang.
Duan Qingyi!
There is also a limit to her patience - Ruotang's slightly drooping eyes flashed slightly, but her heart was inexplicably a little troubled.
She knew that Duan Qingyi's martial arts were not weak, and if she wanted to get rid of her, she was afraid that it would not be so easy. But as long as she wants to, she can always come up with a way. However, Chu Qianlan is clearly different from her, if because of Duan Qingyi, she hurts the relationship between their husband and wife, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
It was precisely because of such concerns that she would be stuck between them like a thorn by Duan Qingyi.
It's really unpleasant, but if you pull it out, you don't know what kind of consequences you have to face, which is really a dilemma!
……
When Ruotang was in a dilemma, Chu Qianlan was indifferently looking at Duan Qingyi, who grabbed his wrist and showed a shocked look!
"You actually used your blood to nourish the Butterfly Gu?" Duan Qingyi's always cold eyes flashed with incredible shock and annoyance, "She is so important to you?" ”
Chu Qianlan frowned impatiently, and was about to withdraw her hand.
Duan Qingyi held his hand tightly, the force was so great that the bandaged wound cracked open again, and the blood instantly soaked the snow-white cotton cloth on his wrist.
But she didn't realize it, she just stared at Chu Qianlan with those frantic and angry eyes, as if she was paranoid and wanted to get an answer from him.
Chu Qianlan didn't care about the pain in her wrist, she lowered her eyes and looked at her coldly, and hooked her lips sneeringly, "This king thought that the little uncle understood the king's intentions for her when he attacked her, why, the little uncle only has this realization now?" ”
"You!" Duan Qingyi trembled angrily, but he still refused to believe it, "I don't believe it!" How could a man like you do this for the sake of a woman? Yes, yes, there must be other uses for that woman, that's why you're ...... It must be yes, you have always been such a selfish and cold person, you will never fall in love with anyone but you, absolutely not! ”
She gritted her teeth and stared at Chu Qianlan intently, not knowing whether she was convincing Chu Qianlan or herself, "I never believe that you will fall in love with someone!" ”
After she said this, her expression became strangely calm, and she even smiled lightly at Chu Qianlan, "It's me who is suspicious, I shouldn't think about it." Ah Lan, even if that woman has other uses for you, you don't want her to die, and you don't need to use your blood to nourish the butterfly Gu in her body, don't you know that I will feel distressed? ”
Chu Qianlan frowned in disgust, "If you don't have anything else to do, this king still has something to do." ”
Duan Qingyi looked at him faintly, "Busy receiving her relatives?" Ah Lan, what is the Zhou family's money, what I can give you, even if it is a hundred Zhou families, you know it, why should you wronged yourself to deal with them? I haven't seen you for a long time, so I've talked to you well, so can you stay here with me? ”
Chu Qianlan shook her sleeves and threw away her hand, turned around and was about to leave.
"Ah Lan, if you walk out of this room today, don't blame me for being treacherous, two years later, let her accompany me to die!" Duan Qingyi's face was distorted with indifference and anger, and he chased after Chu Qianlan and shouted loudly in a sharp voice.
She looked at Chu Qianlan's abrupt stop, watched him Huo Ran turn his head, the eerie and terrifying cold and murderous aura, and suddenly burst out laughing.
She laughed and laughed all the time, laughing so much that her whole body was trembling, and she laughed so much that tears flowed down her face unconsciously.
She can find all kinds of reasons to convince herself that Ah Lan will never fall in love with anyone, but she knows better than anyone that Ah Lan has long fallen in love with the woman in Qingqiu Courtyard!
What a desperate and maddening love!
What she can't get, no one can imagine! Low chastity handsome skills.
She was reluctant to destroy him, so she would completely destroy that woman!
……
Although Ruotang tried his best, he failed to enliven the atmosphere on the table.
Because of Chu Qianlan's absence, the eldest uncle and younger uncle were very unhappy.
In their opinion, Chu Qianlan ordered someone to take them over, but she ran to another woman's yard and never showed her face again, not only did she not give them face, but she also slapped Ruotang's face fiercely.
This made the uncle, who had always been proud and uninhibited, even more angry, and Ruotang couldn't persuade him, so he couldn't help but collapse his face in frustration.
Zhou Liangyun pinched her angrily, "This is still in front of us, when we are not here, won't they even take you in their eyes?" Originally, I thought that the prince would treat you a little differently, but now it seems that ......"
"Cousin, don't say it!" Looking at the uncle's appearance of crying after drinking, Ruotang was tense, and the uncle who was crying like a child in front of her when she first entered Beijing really made her very unbearable! "Uncle, uncle, in fact, the prince is really good to me on weekdays, maybe something happened to the Changchun Pavilion today that stumbled him. Actually, it's okay for our family to have a happy meal, but the prince is still uncomfortable, right? ”
Uncle Zhou Houyuan's expression moved slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed very quickly and coldly, "What is the origin of that one in the Changchun Pavilion?" ”
"I heard that it's the prince's little uncle." Ruotang said lightly, "She has been gracious to the prince, and the prince naturally has some gratitude for her. ”
When Uncle Zhou Houqing heard this, his sad eyebrows and eyes immediately stretched, "I see, so it is, I should be a favored concubine in the house." The prince knows how to repay his kindness, human nature, let's not think about it. ”
"You elm pimple, what do you know about you?" The eldest aunt who knew the inside story couldn't help but interject, and was about to tell the truth about the concubine in the Changchun Pavilion, but the thigh under the table was poisoned by her own daughter, and she almost screamed out in pain.
glared at the innocent Zhou Liangyun hatefully, and then at the good son-in-law who looked at him in ignorance on the other side, in order to maintain her good image in front of the good son-in-law, the eldest aunt decided to endure it!
Compared with the uncle's trust in Ruotang, the uncle obviously has to think more, "The prince's little uncle, that is, she is also from the Valley of the Dead?" ”
Although he didn't deliberately inquire about who the little uncle in the Changchun Pavilion was, just looking at the looks of Ruotang and his eldest aunt, he could guess that the person living there must be a woman, not what the eldest brother thought.
If it was before yesterday, Zhou Houyuan would have doubted Chu Qianlan's intentions for Ruotang. But he already understood Ruotang's weight in Chu Qianlan's heart yesterday, and early this morning, Chu Qianlan personally ordered someone to take them over, obviously to make Ruotang happy. The absence in the middle of the process was not intentional on his part, but a last resort.
What could make Chu Qianlan have no choice but to do it, Zhou Houyuan naturally thought of the person who made a deal with Chu Qianlan!
How did Ruotang know that Zhou Houyuan's mind turned left and right, so he guessed Duan Qingyi, who was tricked on her, and nodded: "Yes, but the prince doesn't talk about her much, and I don't know her very well." ”
Anyway, when Duan Qingyi was mentioned, Ruotang, who was trying his best to show that he was casual, still felt that he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and disgusted.
Others may not have noticed it, but Zhou Houyuan and Zhou Liangyun quietly took in her subtle changes in their eyes.
"Okay, since the prince is busy with business, let's not wait for him." Zhou Houyuan took the lead and said, "Today, our family should celebrate the New Year in advance - if we want to have a meal together, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the New Year." Come, big brother, I'll fill you with wine, let's drink two glasses of wine, the good wine in this palace must be different from the outside, but you must drink enough to do it! ”
"Uncle, I will also have two drinks with you." Ruotang saw that he had messed up, so he hurriedly put the unhappy things behind him, and slapped the table with a smile, "You don't know, but I drank all the princesses of Guoan at the banquet in the Queen Mother's palace - hmph, fight with me for wine, and don't look at the mass of our Zhou family." ”
Now everyone became curious, and they rushed to ask her what was going on, and the atmosphere finally became pleasant and harmonious.
