Chapter 177: Heavy Snow Overnight
Su Momo and Anxin have no place to go at all, the small courtyard of the palace is their only residence, besides, their salutes are still in the palace, even if they want to leave, they have to come back to pack up their salutes.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to go to the small courtyard to see if they had returned.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he soon arrived at the small courtyard where Su Momo lived, the door of the small courtyard was not locked, and from the crack in the door, there were several wings with warm candle flames......
They're really back. Suddenly, my heart became relaxed, and the snowflakes in front of me became poetic......
I was just about to push open the courtyard door with my hands.
But the hands stopped.
If they do come back, will this son be retained? But what about retaining words?
If you don't keep it, it's so late, what's the point of going in, and what is there to say? Do you want to continue arguing with her?
Just when he was undecided, the courtyard door creaked open, "The slave has seen the son." β
It turned out to be the girl who was in charge of the daily life in this small courtyard.
Helian Li coughed lightly, and raised his head very high coldly: "It's so late, where are you going?" β
The girl immediately replied: "The slave heard footsteps at the door, and thought it was Miss Su who was back, so she came to take a look." β
It turned out that she never came back, and the candle in the side room was lit by the girl.
The eyes that had just brightened suddenly darkened, and somewhere in my heart began to feel uncomfortable again.
This crazy woman is really stubborn, just leave......
Since she has done such a desperate job, what else does this world want her to do?
"She's not coming back tonight, so you'd better go to bed early." After saying it coldly, he turned around and walked back.
Only then did he realize that he had done a very ridiculous thing, and he had braved the wind and snow to see if the crazy woman had returned, and not only that, but he still had a desire to see her again.
When I returned to Cuizhuju, I lay on the bed with a huff, wanting to fall asleep quickly and forget all the things that happened today.
But the more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn't sleep, he got up in the middle of the night, took the candle to the window and looked, there was still snow flying outside, piece by piece, the whole world was white, the fluorescence of the snow illuminated the world a little, and the blurred outline of the courtyard was imprinted in the bottom of his eyes.
Anxin should have found the crazy woman, there is peace of mind, the crazy woman should have a warm place......
He had to admit that he was worried, the reason why he was worried, he also had a good excuse in his heart, wasn't it that the crazy woman had been by his side for a while, there was no merit and hard work, and now he was just thinking about the old love.
It was almost dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but a slight knock on the door woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already dawn, and he knew that the hour was not early.
"Come in." Helian Li stretched and immediately got up.
I saw that Wanxi had already walked in with his clothes, and the light blue brocade robe prepared for him today, the brocade robe was embroidered with gold thread with the dark lines of begonia flowers, and the neckline and cuffs were trimmed with pure white fox fur, and the outside was covered with a long coat made of white feathers.
Wanxi Mali helped him put on his clothes, and then came in with hot water to wash his face. The pair of white and tender little hands soaked in the hot water, and the inside was ruddy, and the ten fingers deftly unscrewed the cloth towel, and then handed it to Helian Li's hand.
Helian Li carefully wiped his handsome face with a cloth towel, the heat floating from the basin hit his cheeks, the face was white and red, more and more delicate and soft, those eyes, smoky and foggy, sunny and bright, with a touch of red thin lips embellishment the perfect chin more clearly.
This face will be unforgettable at any time. Like the stars in the sky, it shines with eternal brilliance.
"Wanxi, why didn't you wake me up earlier......"
"The slave and maid saw that the prince slept late last night, so let the prince sleep a little longer, please rest assured, the slave and maid have already prepared breakfast, and the son will never be late to go to the criminal department after eating."
"Oh." He Lianli replied softly, speaking of the Criminal Department, Helian Li then remembered that Su Momo and Anxin had already left, and he was going to the Criminal Department alone today.
"By the way, the people on the other side of the courtyard, Miss Su didn't come back yesterday night, but in the morning she found that their luggage was missing. The people on the other side of the courtyard said that it was impossible for Miss Su to accompany Shizi to the Criminal Department today, so the slave maid went to tell Steward Hu that it would be good for him to arrange a few guards to accompany Shizi to the Criminal Department? β
They came back last night, but they only came back secretly to get a salute, and the salute has already been taken, and it seems that the crazy woman will not come back in the future.
The heart became restless, and the mood was also unusually irritable, "Today, the son of this world will not return to the punishment department, and there is no need for the guards to follow." β
Before, Su Momo followed, he felt annoyed, but now that Su Momo is gone, his heart is empty again.
I don't know how long it will take to get used to.
Since he hasn't been by the side of this son for long, he shouldn't have promised his father for the silver in the first place, but now it's good, and he still needs this son to adapt slowly......
He thought hatefully in his heart, the two beautiful eyebrows unconsciously condensed, and the good-looking eyes also sank.
"It snowed heavily last night, and the roads in many places were blocked, so it's good for the prince to have a day off today, anyway, Miss Su, they didn't come back......"
"Wanxi, aren't you going out to prepare breakfast?" Helian Li's voice was a little cold, and Wanxi mentioned the crazy woman over and over again, making him feel that his chest was clogged.
Wanxi found out that the prince's mood was a little abnormal, from the day he went to the criminal department, the prince would go to the criminal department with Miss Su on time, Miss Su didn't come back last night, and the prince didn't want to go to the criminal department today......
It must have been something that happened to Shizi and Miss Su, and Shizi's current mood is a little abnormal......
Wanxi had already guessed seven or eight points, so naturally he didn't dare to say any more and retreated.
After breakfast, Helian Li came to the courtyard and saw five or six people shoveling snow in the courtyard, and the snow in the courtyard was more than a foot thick.
The green bamboos in the courtyard were bent over by the snow, and the yellowed ones were mainly covered with a layer of snow, and the snow was frozen by ice, making the bamboo leaves look less weak than before, but more cold and arrogant.
Under the eaves, long ices hung one after another, and the raging wind could not shake them for half a minuteγ......
The trunk of the tree is still straight, but it is wrapped in a layer of crystal clear ice, and the dark trunk inside has become somewhat beautiful.
In the morning after the heavy snowfall, it was still cold and quiet, except for the sound of shoveling snow in the courtyard, even the call of the birds could not be heard, and the birds should have flown south this season.
