Chapter 22: His Thoughts

With this in her heart, she tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, she got up and hurriedly put on a velvet coat, and decided to take a walk on the way to deliver the soup today, maybe she could find any clues.

In winter, there is more yin and less yang, and it is midnight, walking on the long palace road with water, and the dim yellow palace lamp on the side emits a faint light, which is a bit bleak.

Strangely, after walking most of the way, by the dim light, he found that there was nothing clean on the ground except stones.

Just as Daishui was strange about this, he heard a faint voice behind the rockery not far ahead. The distance is too far, and mixed with the sound of the wind, Daishui can only roughly judge that there are two men behind the rockery.

The two did not talk for a long time, but briefly explained something. The wind was a little lighter, and the water only heard a few words.

"Master, today's matter is not small for you to investigate..."

"Idiot! The carving insect is delusional and wants to cause a riot, and it must not be rash at this time...", a cold voice came.

The voices of the two people weakened, and the water was suddenly stunned, it was broken! There is nothing here, although it is the middle of the night, but the palace lamps on both sides can barely illuminate the silhouette of people. If they find out, even if they do it unintentionally, they won't be able to argue.

Daishui suddenly recalled in his mind that the sixth prince was poisoned and lost his voice, a chill spread from his scalp, and his hand trembled slightly to the silver needle in his arms, staring vigilantly at the movement ahead.

...

The night is quiet, cold to the bone...

Suddenly, a pair of hands covered the mouth with water, with water eyes wide in horror, with his left hand to attack backwards, but he didn't want to be guessed by the other party, a smell of wine came from behind, with water was even more disgusted, and was about to use poison, but heard a familiar voice sound, "What are you doing here?" ”

When he looked back at the water, it was Jing Yao, who was busy covering his mouth, but all the complicated emotions in his heart fell instantly, and he leaned into his ear and said urgently, "Take me out of here."

As soon as the words fell, a pair of thick hands were already covered around his waist, and although he was a little embarrassed with water, he was in a hurry at the moment, and he couldn't care about it so much. Jing Yao's body was as light as a swallow, and he left this place in a few steps, and when he opened his eyes again, the two of them had already arrived at Jing Yao's palace.

Jing Yao didn't let go, tightly wrapped around his waist with water, and had no intention of letting go. Daishui struggled angrily, "Hey, I'm grateful for saving me just now, but a gentleman can't take advantage of others' danger, you let it go!" With the water pushed violently, Xu is Lingding was drunk, Jing Yao was defenseless and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the drunken man on the ground had stopped moving, she hurriedly leaned down - but saw a scene that she would never forget.

In the moonlight, on the pale and angular face, there was a line of tears.

With the water stunned, "You...", Jing Yao suddenly turned his head sideways, raised an arm to cover his face, maybe he wanted to hide his embarrassment.

What, this person was drunk and still wanted to save face, helpless with water, sitting beside him with his back to him, but he happened to see the wisteria trellis not far in front.

The book says: Wisteria buds in March and blooms in April, and now the dead branches and barren vines on the trellis seem lifeless and deserted.

"Today... It's the day my mother leaves." The face under the arm didn't know what expression was, but the tone was very sober.

Daishui didn't look back, and she didn't know or dare to look at the person behind her. drowning her sorrows with wine is nothing more than wanting to forget her numbness, but she is clearly a little sober, so that she can pay tribute to the deceased and punish herself for the mistakes of others, she is suddenly a little distressed.

After a while, the person behind him seemed to be drunk, dazed, bowing with water, and drowsiness gradually came...

At that time, Linchi heard some movement in the lower room, and hurriedly got up to look in the middle courtyard, but saw Jing Yao holding a girl in his hand and was about to go back to the hall to rest.

In previous years, every time Concubine Jing Niangniang was on this day, His Royal Highness would be drunk and not return, and they had nothing to do, how could they be today... Lin Chi was full of suspicion, and then looked at it, the woman in His Royal Highness's arms looked like the girl in the spiritual dining room that day, Lin Chi squinted his eyes, and wanted to see clearly, but he heard a cold and arrogant voice, "Closer, wouldn't you see it more clearly?" ”

Lin Chi was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked over quickly.

Jing Yao walked towards the hall and said casually, "Take some incense and put it in the side hall to make grass smoke."

In the side hall, Jing Yao gently placed the woman in his arms on the red heart carved wooden bed, patiently covered the futon for the woman, stared at the jade face in front of him with burning eyes, and left after a while.
