Chapter 118: The long-lost heartbeat

Jiang Cailing woke up the next day, and if she hadn't felt the pain in her leg, she would probably have thought that what happened last night was a nightmare.

After flashing what happened in her mind one by one, Jiang Cailing's eyes became sharp, and infinite questions surged in her heart: Who sent that girl yesterday? What is the purpose of the killing?

He Xiaoxiao and Hefeng are first-class masters, but in the face of the woman wearing the hood and the masked people who appeared later, the two of them did not have half an advantage, which shows that the woman and the masked man are not mediocre. Moreover, the poison quenched on the scissors can be said to be as poisonous as arsenic, and if it weren't for the poison she suppressed with herbs in time, she would have turned into a dead corpse.

can use such a trick to kill him, the mastermind behind it must not be a good type, and must have the dual blessing of power and financial resources. The figures of Empress Chu and Luan Wenzhi gradually appeared in his mind, Jiang Cailing's eyes darkened, could this matter be their hands and feet?

There is so little information that is known at present, and she can't analyze the whole story of the matter at all, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but get irritable in her heart, and got out of bed to get some tea to drink.

As soon as He Xiaoxiao came in, she saw Jiang Cailing about to get out of bed and drink water, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you feel that the wound still hurts, the imperial doctor said that you can't get out of bed for a few days and need to recuperate, and you can't drink tea, you can only drink warm water." ”

Jiang Cailing shook her head and chuckled, "I know how my body is, not to mention that I also know how to use medical skills, just listen to half of what the doctor says, don't believe it all, it's all used to bluff people." ”

As he spoke, he reached the teacup.

He Xiaoxiao was still not at ease, snatched the flower tea from Jiang Cailing's hand, and spoke seriously, "I think what the imperial doctor said is much more reasonable than your fallacies, as long as I am next to you, you can't do these things." ”

Looking at He Xiaoxiao like this, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but think of the fear of being dominated by Mother Sun when she was told to recuperate last time, and said angrily and with a smile, "When did you become as wordy and dogmatic as Mother Sun?" ”

"In short, if you don't allow it, you don't want it." After handing the cup of warm water to Jiang Cailing, He Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something, and took out a golden box from her sleeve, "This is the medicine that Su Qingcheng asked me to give you to wipe on the wound yesterday, I heard that it is very good to fade the scar." You didn't see that when Su Qingcheng said that he wanted to give you this medicine, Du Nianyu and Yanyun's faces were as dark as if they were something. ”

Opening the ointment, the fragrant smell came to his face, and the medicine was in the form of a white jade-colored paste, Jiang Cailing opened her mouth in a slightly surprised manner, "This is the snow lotus paste developed by my master and his old man, because the snow lotus is extremely precious, and only three boxes were made at the beginning, even I didn't have it, how could Su Qingcheng have it?" ”

"I heard Yanyun say yesterday that this was given by Doctor Xiao back then...... Wait, in other words, Doctor Xiao is your master? The famous Xiao Yi Xiao Divine Doctor is your master? ”

As the so-called real person does not show her face, she never thought that Jiang Cailing's background would be so powerful, and even Doctor Xiao had a master-apprentice relationship with her. She chose to follow her at the beginning, and sure enough, her originally boring life became full of surprises, and she really wanted to know what Jiang Cailing couldn't.

Jiang Cailing smiled helplessly, and said leisurely, "The divine doctor in everyone's imagination should be a fairy wind bone, living in seclusion in the bamboo forest, taking the hanging pot to help the world as its own responsibility, and being ashamed of the smell of money and copper." However, my master and his old man have a round body, and he is a person who would rather live without bamboo than eat meat.

The reason why I chose to go out of the mountain to teach back then was that I was tempted by Emperor Zhaohong's thousand taels of gold, the most important thing is that he is a very unserious person, and he likes to wear some flowers and plants on his head, and the more colorful the flowers, the more he likes it, if you see him, I promise that you will not worship him like now. ”

"Huh?" He Xiaoxiao looked at her suspiciously, and then laughed again, "Doctor Xiao turned out to be an old naughty boy, I am even more looking forward to meeting Doctor Xiao!" ”

He Xiaoxiao didn't let her do this, nor did she let her do that, Jiang Cailing was originally an idle person, and finally forced He Xiaoxiao to move the small table to the bed, and drew it to give Gu Jiming's birthday gift.

On the picture scroll, the maple leaves are dyed, as if the vermilion color has been overturned, and the only place that has not been colored except for the blank space is the figures.

The character is the soul of the scroll, and when Jiang Cailing was thinking carefully, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a cheerful male voice came in.

A red shadow swept from the corner of her eye, and Jiang Cailing knew that someone was coming.

Su Qingcheng had just come back from the court, so he naturally walked to the side of the bed and asked, "Is the injury on your leg better?" ”

"It's almost, it will heal in a few days, thank you for saving me that day." Although she was dissatisfied with Su Qingcheng's intrusion, but when she thought that this was someone's mansion after all, Jiang Cailing didn't say anything. Although she didn't know exactly who she saw when she was unconscious, she still thanked him for saving her.

"It's fine." Su Qingcheng's expression was slightly unnatural, but neither of them noticed this subtle expression.

"Your jade pendant has been found, but it's just ......"

Su Qing's tone with bad news made Jiang Cailing's heart tense, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Yu Pei?" ”

Su Qingcheng didn't expect her reaction to be so big, so he said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask why the carved word on this is the word 昤, and the name of your yard is also used in this word, this word is a relatively rare word, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, does it have any special meaning?" ”

As he spoke, Su Qingcheng put the white-fat jade pendant with smooth edges on the small table on the bed, and inadvertently saw the fiery maple leaves on the picture scroll and a man standing like jade. The eyebrows and eyes of the painted man had not yet been painted, but the figure vaguely gave him a bold idea.

Jiang Cailing saw that Su Qingcheng saw the painting, and was worried that he would recognize the person on the painting as Gu Jiming through this scroll, so when he took the jade pendant, he pretended to roll up the scroll unintentionally, which just covered the man's outline.

Ask her why she likes the word? She can't answer because this character has Gu Jiming's clear character and her Jiang Cailing's Ling character. After thinking for a while, Jiang Cailing said lightly, "There is no special meaning, this is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Chu Guangxi, I like this poem very much, so I also like the words in the poem." ”

Spring is about to be halfway through, and the shadow of the garden is playing.

The song is gone, and the wind blows the fragrance and returns one by one.

Su Qingcheng knew this poem, thinking of the man in the painting just now, he didn't know what emotion he was in his heart for a while, and turned away very abnormally, as if he had fled.

He Xiaoxiao, who had just returned to the courtyard, bumped into Su Qingcheng, and after entering the house, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Su Qingcheng, I saw that he left in a panic, and it was not the same as usual?" ”

"There are strange things every year, and this year there are a lot of them." Jiang Cailing raised her eyebrows and said, she seemed to be used to Su Qingcheng's hot and cold. Hanging the jade pendant back on his waist, his eyebrows and eyes stretched out a soft smile, and then he unfolded the scroll and carefully painted the man's eyebrows.

The eyebrows and eyes are delicately outlined, the eyebrows are like arrows into the temples, the eyes are cold and lonely, it seems to contain mountains and lakes, and the sun and moon are contained in a pair of inky pupils.

Ren is familiar with each other, and he can recognize that the person in the painting is the Ruyu Gu Xiang of Da Zhou.

When it was time for dinner, Jiang Cailing's paintings had all been painted, and asked He Xiaoxiao to find a reliable person to send them to the Great Zhou Xiangfu as soon as possible, but he was told that Gu Xiang had been appointed as an envoy to go to Chu three days ago.

In other words, Gu Jiming is coming?

Jiang Cailing didn't seem to believe it, and asked three times in a row, "Really?" ”

He Xiaoxiao smiled, "It's not wrong, it's true, I also asked that person many times." ”

Compared with Jiang Cailing's full expectation, Su Qingcheng on that side was not in such a good mood.

After coming out of the courtyard, he went straight to Biyuntian, as if some demons and monsters were chasing him, and he walked in a hurry.

Du Nianyu had never seen Su Qingcheng look like this, in her impression he had always been a strategist, always lazy, and never as flustered as he was at this moment.

Worried in his heart, he stepped forward and said softly, "Qingcheng, has something happened?" ”

These words were like an initiation, Su Qingcheng instantly sobered up, and the painting just now flashed in his mind, if he was not mistaken...... The man in the painting should be him.

His favorite thing to write in the book is the scene where the hero saves the beauty, he originally scoffed at it, but he didn't think that He Linger actually liked him because of his rescue.

Since he was sensible, there was no shortage of people around him who loved and chased him, so what made him flustered was not He Ling'er's sudden liking, but ...... He actually found out that after learning that she liked him, he didn't have any displeasure in his heart, and even a trace of joy.

This is a very terrible thing, what he hates the most is people who are inattentive, if his father had not taken a fancy to his mother and concubine indiscriminately, his mother would not have died tragically.

Since he was a child, his only heart-warming moment was eleven years ago, when the picture of the little girl holding a sour and astringent sugar gourd eating very happily made him understand what love is.

He didn't actually feel this heartbeat in Du Nianyu, but because the time and place in her story were the same as back then, he began to gradually transform the heartbeat of the year into a kind of responsibility.

He originally thought that he would never be attracted to anyone again in this life...... Just now, when he saw that painting, his heart was pounding, just like it was back then.

Su Qingcheng began to fall into infinite contempt for himself, could it be that because he had the blood of the Luan family on his body, he also inherited the characteristics of the royal family's abuse?

Raising his eyes to see the soft Du Nianyu looking at him worriedly, the guilt in his heart will increase. Weakly don't open the realization, leave a sentence of "you eat well" and walked quickly to the study.

Tonight, it seems, is another sleepless night.
