Chapter 114: The Beauty of the Country
When Yu Ruyan broke into Yue Yu's camp tent in a hurry, he was bathing-
In the steam, he leaned back in the tub and closed his eyes.
Hearing the sound, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned back, and suddenly saw Yu Ruyan at the door, his face was red, he suddenly remembered something, his body shook, and he wanted to drown his body in the water, however, he didn't do it in the end.
He knew that even if he drowned his body in the water again, she would see it after all.
Yu Ruyan looked at Yue Yu's back exposed from the water in a daze-
His back was covered with scars, a hideous dark red, like the scars of a burn.
Seeing that she was frightened, Yue Yu smiled bitterly, stretched out her hand and pulled the clothes on the side and put them on her body, turned back to Yu Ruyan and smiled bitterly: "Can the princess go outside and wait for me for a while." ”
Yu Ruyan suddenly remembered that he was still bathing, and he was still standing like this and not leaving?!
She hid her face with a flushed face and escaped, and said shyly: "Brother Yue, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry......"
She left the camp tent for a while, Yue Yu stayed in the bucket and didn't come out, and a trace of sadness flashed on his face-
She saw that she was now covered with scars, and she was afraid that she would ...... If she dislikes it, the distance between them will be even greater......
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he finally came out of the bucket, dressed neatly, and when he came to Yu Ruyan again, he became the handsome boy in white again.
"What's the matter with the princess hurrying to me?" Yue Yu invited Yu Ruyan into the house again, as if he had forgotten the embarrassing thing just now, and asked slowly and unhurriedly.
Yu Ruyan was embarrassed, thinking that she had recklessly broken his injury, she felt very guilty, and couldn't help lowering her head and whispering: "Brother Yue, I was reckless, I recklessly bumped into it without your consent, I'm really sorry......"
"Nothing!" Yue Yu smiled lightly without care, "As long as it doesn't scare you." ”
Yu Ruyan looked at him in a daze, thinking of the scars on his body, and felt faintly sad for him in her heart-
Although he has no noble background and is just a ninth-rate merchant, his elegant temperament makes people never dare to despise him, and even standing with a prince of noble origin like Mu Lingzhi is not inferior.
Looking at him with a feeling of indifference, Yu Ruyan has always thought that his life must be peaceful and calm, which will make him so indifferent and so calm forever......
However, after seeing the scars on his body, Yu Ruyan suddenly felt that under his calm face, it seemed that he was also enduring countless pains......
She told him about the county lord of Yuhan, and Yue Yu walked with her to Xie Yuhan's camp with a slight chin and when he was about to arrive at the camp, he suddenly said softly: "What the princess saw today, I hope the princess ...... Don't mention it to a third person again! ”
Yu Ruyan hurriedly nodded in response, and said firmly: "Brother Yue, please rest assured, I will not talk to anyone about this matter." ”
Xie Yuhan was still a symptom of a woman's menstrual period, and Yue Yu checked her pulse and said to Chen Yiqing, who was sweating profusely: "The general doesn't need to be in a hurry, it's just an ordinary illness, and it will be fine if you drink some decoction and medicine for a while." ”
Anyway, prescribe a good prescription for people to grab medicine.
Hearing that Xie Yuhan was fine, after Yue Yu and the others left, Chen Yiqing said to Mu Ling with a guilty face: "Your Highness, I really deserve to die, disturbing His Highness's good things, don't worry, it won't be in the future......"
"Don't go even a step near my tent in the future." Mu Lingzhi replied unceremoniously with a dark face.
Yu Ruyan sent Yue Yu out, and he hesitated for a moment before finally bidding farewell to her.
"Princess, now that you have found the Third Highness as you wished, and the war is over, it's time for me to leave here."
His words were a little reluctant and helpless, Yu Ruyan was shocked, and said reluctantly: "Brother Yue, are you because of ...... Because it was just morning......"
"It's not." Yue Yu's clear eyes looked at her fixedly, and said with a bitter smile: "The princess once said...... Thank you for my fulfillment...... So, now that I see that you are happy, I have no regrets, and it is time to leave. ”
Qingcha drove the carriage over, and Yu Ruyan looked at the luggage that had been prepared in his car, and realized that he was ready to leave early in the morning, and the luggage had already been prepared.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, her heart was sour, but Yu Ruyan didn't do much to keep him, because she also knew that she was going to let him down after all, so why bother to keep him by his side and make him uncomfortable.
She felt guilty and uneasy, and asked softly, "Is Brother Yue going back to the Wuwei Medical Center?" I'll visit you later when I go to Daliang. ”
Yue Yu sat quietly in the carriage, looked at her with clear eyes, shook his head, and said, "Daliang...... I'm just afraid that I won't go back in the future, I'm an idle businessman, and it's also a pleasure to walk around and make my home in the future. The princess lives her life well, and she doesn't have to worry about me. After that, he slowly lowered the curtain and said softly: "Get out!" ”
Qingcha was ordered, and with a whip, the carriage drove forward......
Yu Ruyan couldn't help but catch up a few steps, feeling stunned.
Although he has no love for Yue Yu, he has repeatedly helped her, from the first time she escaped from Qin Xianglou, he rescued her, and brought her back to help her treat her leg injury, and later, at the Chen banquet in the prince's mansion, he came forward to relieve himself and helped her set up a bureau to fight back against Mu Ziyue; Later, because of Brother An's illness, she came to Wuwei Hospital to find him in desperation, and it was he who ignored his own safety and stayed by Brother An's side for more than half a month to prick her with needles so that the clothes in her body fell off smoothly and saved her life......
For some reason, every time he appeared, it was when she was most helpless and in need of help. Yu Ruyan is not a fool, the previous things can be said to be due to coincidences, but in many later things, she understands that there are not so many coincidences in the world, everything is just his friendship and concern for herself......
The carriage got farther and farther away, and soon disappeared from her field of vision, Yu Ruyan's heart seemed to be empty, for Yue Yu, I was afraid that she was the most ashamed person in her life.
When I went back, I went to see the knife on the way, and when I arrived at the door of his tent, I saw Xiaoru standing at the door in a daze with a tray, bowing her head and saying nothing, but her expression was very lost.
Yu Ruyan stepped forward and asked softly, "Xiaoru, what are you doing here?" Why don't you go in when you get to the door? ”
When Xiao Ru saw her, her face flew red, and her big black eyes flashed and said, "Sister Princess, I roasted his favorite roast chicken for the knife, but ...... But he won't let me in, what should I do? ”
Xiaoru grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and she was like a blank sheet of paper for human feelings, she didn't know that after Xiaodao rejected her, she would go away or be sad, but she insisted that she made what he liked to eat for him, and he must have eaten it, so she waited at the door and refused to leave.
Looking at her, Yu Ruyan seemed to see the appearance of the knife he first saw three years ago, at that time, he was like Xiaoru now, thinking of everything as he thought in his heart, he would not look at people's faces, nor would he guess the thoughts of others, and only did what he wanted to do......
Yu Ruyan smiled at Xiao Ru and said kindly: "Xiao Ru, Xiao Dao, like you, is also a simple and kind good boy, he will know about your kindness to him one day, so don't be discouraged." Also, don't call him Xiaodao in the future, he is Mu Chenzhi, the eighth prince of Daliang, you have to respect him in the future! ”
"But Xiaoru thinks that the name of the knife is still good!" Xiao Ru looked at Yu Ruyan innocently and smiled.
She looked at Yu Ruyan's good-looking eyes and said enviously: "No wonder Xiaodao said that my sister's eyes are the best eyes he has ever seen, I thought he was bragging before, but now I see Sister Princess, it is indeed beautiful." ”
Yu Ruyan blushed by what she said, and was about to lead her in to see the knife, Mu Lingzhi looked for her, and when he saw her, his expression was relieved, and he couldn't help but take her into his arms, and said fearfully: "I heard that the more the head of the family left, I was still afraid...... Fortunately! ”
"Afraid of what?" Yu Ruyan looked at him ignorantly and asked curiously.
"I'm afraid that the princess will be abducted by Yue Gongzi!" Copper coins can be said without thinking about what they want to say. But as soon as the words came out, he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so frightened that he covered his mouth and asked Yu Ruyan for help in a panic.
Mu Lingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "When I go back this time, I will definitely replace you." You go to the stable and raise horses. ”
Tong Qian wailed, and immediately pleaded: "Your Highness, the little one will not dare next time...... Please forgive the little one for the last ......"
Mu Lingzhi said with a dark face: "You are stupider than anyone else when you should be smart, but you are very flexible when it is not your business, and your mouth can't be closed!" ”
"The little one went back and got a rusty needle and sewed up his mouth. Your Highness...... The little one has been by His Highness's side since he was a child, how can His Highness be willing to ......"
"Forget it, Your Highness, don't scare him!" Yuru Yan Wan'er smiled, remembering the unhappiness of the two brothers last night, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaoru roasted the roast chicken, I will go to the room to let them fry a few more dishes, and His Royal Highness and Xiaodao have a few drinks and chat." ”
Mu Lingzhi understood what she meant in her heart, knowing that she was worried about his relationship with Xiaodao, so he nodded.
Xiao Ru was finally able to enter the tent of the knife, she was overjoyed, she didn't want to leave if she stuck there, Yu Ruyan wanted to leave the space to the two brothers alone, and was about to pull Xiao Ru out, but Mu Lingzhi asked her to stay, and said, "Do you still need to avoid it between me and you?" I don't have to hide anything from you. ”
Seeing that Yu Ruyan stayed, Xiaoru also stayed, and Yu Ruyan saw that she was innocent and cute, and no longer let her go out.
Xiaodao's mood was much calmer than yesterday, and when he saw them come in, he respectfully called Mu Lingzhi's 'brother', but to Yu Ruyan, he still called her 'sister', and when he sat at the table, he couldn't help but sit next to Yu Ruyan to the nearest place.
Xiaoru hadn't seen the knife for a long time, and as soon as she was on the table, she happily tore off the chicken leg and put it into the bowl of the knife, but the chicken leg was taken into Yu Ruyan's bowl by the knife without a pause.
Xiao Ru looked at the chicken leg in Yu Ruyan's bowl and was stunned for a moment, and perseveringly tore off the remaining chicken leg and put it into the bowl of the knife, and said, "You like to eat chicken leg the most, and this one is not allowed to be given to others." ”
Xiao Ru's simplicity and straightforwardness made Yu Ruyan's face show a trace of embarrassment, she thought about it and re-handed the chicken leg to the knife, and said, "You are growing your body, eat more!" ”
The knife was about to re-arm the chicken leg to Yu Ruyan, a pair of chopsticks stretched out to stop him, Mu Ling said: "Your sister-in-law is right, you are growing your body, it is good to eat more, so as not to go back to the palace and let your father and mother see that you are too thin and worried!" ”
After that, he took a chopstick braised pork and put it into the Yuruyan bowl, and said: "You have also lost weight, I specially asked the room to make your favorite braised pork at every meal from today onwards, spicy, you eat more, and strive to grow the lost meat back." ”
Looking at the plate of fragrant and tempting braised pork in front of her, Yu Ruyan suddenly remembered that when he was in the Daliang military camp before, he was afraid that he would be hungry, so he specially prepared braised pork for her for supper, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in his heart, and also took a piece and put it in his bowl, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has also lost weight, and you have worked hard to lead the troops for so long, you should eat more." ”
The affection between the two of them couldn't help but make the knife on the side feel so sad that he couldn't do it, looking at the chicken leg in the bowl, he couldn't eat a bite, he poured himself wine, and poured it cup after cup.
Xiaoru just felt that Xiaodao seemed to be unhappy, but why was he unhappy, but she couldn't see it clearly, and thought that her roast chicken was not done, so she couldn't help pouting and said sadly: "Xiaodao, is my roast chicken not ready?" You used to be able to eat a whole chicken by yourself, why can't you eat two chicken legs now? You taste it, I've added your favorite fennel to it......"
Xiao Ru was in a hurry and brought the chicken leg to his mouth, but was blocked by the disgusted wave of the knife, and the chicken leg fell on the table with a 'horn' click, and Xiao Ru's eyes immediately turned red.
"If you want to eat here, keep your mouth shut, and if you say anything more, get out of here." The knife pointed at the door and scolded her coldly.
Looking at his indifferent appearance when he scolded people, Mu Lingzhi suddenly felt that the younger brother from before was back-
In the palace before, Mu Chenzhi, the eighth prince, was the most majestic and domineering, he never showed mercy to people, and those who liked him liked it very much, and those who didn't like it were annoyed to look at him more.
Thinking of this, Mu Lingzhi thought about it again and saw his attitude towards Yu Ruyan in the past two days, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart-
For the sake of jade and beauty, he can disown his mother and concubine, not the eighth prince; He was willing to sleep on the floor in order to sleep in the same room with her, and he was happy to sleep on the floor!
This is too far from the previous Mu Chenzhi.
Thinking of his completely different attitude towards Yu Ruyan, that kind of attitude Mu Lingzhi had never seen before, even when he used to treat his favorite mother, Concubine Xie Guifei, Mu Chenzhi was not as protective as he was to Yu Ruyan.
As smart as he is, something is wrong from the emotions of the knife yesterday, and now that he thinks about it, he forced himself to write a farewell letter to Yu Ruyan, it seems that he just doesn't want to be with her again......
Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes darkened, his brows furrowed almost inaudibly, watching the knife keep carrying all kinds of dishes into Yu Ruyan's bowl, but not the braised pork he had given her just now, her heart was already clear, and her heart couldn't help but sink again......
After Xiaoru was reprimanded by the knife, she sat there alone and sad unhappily, and she didn't eat anymore, Mu Lingzhi saw it, and hurriedly took a chopstick dish into her bowl, and said, "Xiaoru has also worked hard, you should also eat more." ”
Originally, I wanted the brothers to have a meal together, but now the atmosphere is unusually silent, Xiao Ru didn't dare to speak again, Xiao Dao only talked to Yu Ruyan, Mu Lingzhi was silent, Yu Ruyan took care of it left and right, but she was very tired.
Finally finished eating a meal, Mu Lingzhi got up and took Yu Ruyan's hand and walked out, just when he walked to the door, the knife suddenly cooled behind him and asked: "Brother Huang, choose one of the two beauties in the country, which one do you want?" ”
Mu Lingzhi's footsteps stagnated when he heard this, he slowly looked back at the knife, looked at him fixedly, and saw that his gaze had been locked on the hand he was shaking with Yu Ruyan, and his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but hold Yu Ruyan's hand tighter, and said solemnly: "Now that the eldest brother is the crown prince, you must not say such things, be careful that someone with a heart hears it and reaches the ears of your father." ”
"Huh!" Xiaodao smiled disapprovingly, obsidian's eyes were cold, and he said disappreciatively: "It's not a secret that the imperial brother is competing for the crown, when the imperial brother heard that the prince was going to marry Mu Ziyue, wasn't he still confident that he wanted to regain the crown prince's position, and Mu Ziyue also wanted to take it back, what?" With a new love and forgetting the old love, the royal brother doesn't want Mu Ziyue! ”
Xiao Dao's light words were clearly to provoke the relationship between Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi, and he also knew in his heart that his words were wrong, but as soon as he saw the hands clasped together, the anger in Xiao Dao's heart couldn't help but let out.
Hearing such words, Yu Ruyan's heart ached-
She didn't mention Mu Lingzhi's past with Mu Ziyue in her words of pain knife, but she didn't expect that Xiaodao would become what it is now, speaking viciously and hurting her relatives without care.
She looked at the somewhat unfamiliar knife in front of her in a daze, her eyes swelled with anger, and she said in a deep voice: "Xiaodao, Your Highness is your own brother, if you say these words, if they reach the ears of the crown prince or King Liang, are you harming him to know?" You know about your sister and Your Highness, why do you still ......?"
"Sister, have you forgotten what he did to you before? Have you forgotten that he hurt you because of Mu Ziyue? The knife had been so shocked by the vinegar intent that he had lost his last sanity, and he rushed forward and snatched Yu Ruyan from Mu Lingzhi's hand.
"If you insist on an answer, I can tell you that there is no man who doesn't love the country, and only by keeping the country can he keep the person he likes." Mu Lingzhi looked at the knife with an angry face coldly, and said indifferently: "How much do you know about the matter between me and Ah Yan?" After all, you are too young, I will not take today's words to heart, I just hope that when you really grow up, you will understand that liking is not possession, but fulfillment! ”
After that, he bypassed him and took Yu Ruyan's hand back to his tent.
It was only at this time that Yu Ruyan finally sensed that something was wrong, and she vaguely understood in her heart that the knife might have feelings for her that she shouldn't have......
Back in the camp, Mu Lingzhi's face was as cold as water, although the anger on his body was not directed at Yu Ruyan, but it also made her heart chill, after all, everything seemed to start from her......
She seemed to want to free herself and the knife, and couldn't help but say, "The knife is ...... for me." Maybe it's because in the past three years, he has been by my side, accustomed to staying with me every day, and now he suddenly wants to part with me, he is either not adaptable, and after a long time, he will definitely not be like this. ”
Mu Lingzhi knew that her appearance made her worried, thinking that they had finally gotten rid of all their suspicions and reunited together, and he didn't want to affect their hard-won reunion because of the knife, so he smiled: "Don't worry, that stinky boy has liked to work against me since he was a child, but his heart is good to me, it's just that the child is too heavy and hasn't grown up yet." ”
Yu Ruyan knew that he was comforting himself and letting herself not worry, but since this was the case, she didn't want to add worry to his heart.
Looking at his frowning brows, Yu Ruyan stepped forward as usual, stretched out her hand and gently kneaded his forehead. At this time, a military doctor happened to come in to change the gauze on his body, Mu Lingzhi waved his hand to let them out, went to lie down on the bed by himself, beckoned Yu Ruyan to pass, let go of the worries in his heart, and said comfortably: "Listen to them, your way of changing gauze is good, and my gauze will please ask the lady in the future." ”
Yu Ruyan glared at him helplessly, but she also obediently stepped forward to help him remove the gauze on his body, carefully smear the medicine and then bandage the clean gauze......
It was evening and sunset, but it was still hot, and although the windows of the tent were wide open and the wind was blowing on all sides, it was still steaming like a steamer.
Yu Ruyan sweated all over her body, and told Mu Lingzhi that she would go back to her camp tent to bathe and then come to accompany him to dinner, Mu Lingzhi held her hand and didn't let go, her eyes glanced at the corner of the camp tent, and said proudly: "I have already let Tong Qian and Brother An move here for your things, from now on, you have to eat with me, and you must not leave me half a step." ”
After that, he raised his hand and let the servant carry it into the bathtub, prepared everything for the bath, picked up Yu Ruyan and put it into the bathtub with his own hands, and said obediently: "In order to thank the lady for helping me change the gauze, I will personally serve the lady for my husband to bathe!" ”
Yu Ruyan looked at him and started to look old and indecent again, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and quipped: "According to what you say, those military doctors who have helped you change gauze, do you have to wait for them to bathe one by one!" ”
Mu Lingzhi himself couldn't help laughing, and the depression in his heart that had been caused by the knife dissipated in an instant after seeing her delicate smile.
Untied her clothes with both hands, and was about to take off her essence, Yu Ruyan exclaimed, and said with a red face: "Your Highness, I really can't afford your way of repaying your kindness, so you better let me come by myself." ”
Mu Lingzhi's face was blank, and he was unhappy: "It's all old husbands and wives, you are still shy, where did the sultry goblin go?" Hongu misses it day and night! ”
As soon as Yu Ruyan heard him mention the goblin, her face was so red that she was about to drip blood, looking at the heat in his eyes, she knew that he was having a bad idea in his stomach, so she hurriedly hid outside, "I'll go somewhere else......"
However, Mu Lingzhi, who couldn't wait, couldn't wait, and fell into the bathtub with her and himself, even if there was a cool spring water to wet his body, he still couldn't extinguish the desire in Mu Ling's heart, and his fiery lips were overwhelming, turning such a long-term longing into a strong love and indulgent underwater......
It seems to have disturbed a pool of spring water, and even the warm bath water in the bath bucket seems to be beginning to burn, and the whole camp tent is full of beautiful spring......
However, a person outside the window stood like a stone sculpture, he didn't know how long he had been standing, the intertwined figures, the fiery love words and the heart-wrenching moans all turned into the most vicious and ruthless blades that pierced him to a thousand holes and blood......
The long sword in his hand couldn't control it several times and wanted to rush in and kill the man who indulged in his sister, but again and again, the green tendons on his forehead were about to break, and his teeth were bloody, and he finally gritted his teeth and endured it......
