Chapter 231: Joy and Sorrow for Gains and Losses
"Yes, why did the Queen Mother kill me?"
Danli was still confused, Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled slightly, and couldn't help but rub the top of her head again, "Instead of thinking about this, you better think about it carefully, how did you come back to life?" ”
Dan Li's eyes widened suddenly, "I don't even know how I died, what else do I say?" ”
She blinked, her clear and beautiful apricot eyes fluttering, "However, it seems that before I woke up, I vaguely saw a person." ”
"Who is it?"
"It's the national teacher who wears a luminous mask all day long."
Dan Li said simply, and everyone present gasped, but they didn't expect this answer.
"He appeared in my dream and told me to wake him up and waste a lot of work to save him, and let you repay him this favor."
When Emperor Zhaoyuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to smile and said, "His abacus is very good." ”
The national teacher's move is quite kind - but, this person is never for no profit, what is he planning?
At the critical moment, he was deliberately late, but now he came to save a concubine, what is the reason?
Emperor Zhaoyuan fell into deep thought.
Dan Li found that his hair was rubbed more like straw by him as he spoke, and hurriedly snatched the handful he was holding in his hand, pulled out the horizontal crystal lotus hairpin, and rearranged it.
The crystal lotus hairpin made a soft jingling sound, which was very clear in the silent hall.
Tang Wang saw this hairpin several times, and couldn't help but look at it twice, but he felt a little familiar, "This is ......"
"Father, have you forgotten?"
Danli smiled and inserted it into his hair, "This is made by my mother's hand for our sisters, there are two of them."
She looked at Tang Wang with a smile, as if she didn't notice that his face was pale and his body was shaky, "Father, your face is ugly, is it from the cold?" ”
King Tang suppressed the nameless uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, when my father went out to avoid the rebels, he contracted the wind cold, and he will probably be raised for a while." ”
"Oh, that's right...... Then my father must take care of yourself, you must live a long life, let me honor you. ”
Dan Li's words are still so out of tune, although they are kind, there is still a sense of weirdness in the ears.
Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't want her to be wordy with Tang Wang's family, so he took her hand and said lightly: "It's time for us to go back to the palace." ”
When he said this, the people around him suddenly took a few steps back obediently, kowtowed and knelt down.
Emperor Zhaoyuan turned around and wanted to leave, but he was pulled by the corner of his clothes, and turned back slightly impatiently, "What are you messing around with again?" ”
"I can't walk, I don't have any strength on my feet."
Dan Li pursed his lips, frowned, and shook his head like a rattle.
"You're ......"
Emperor Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows, but remembered that she had been sleeping for many days, and it was inevitable that her legs and feet would be weak, so his tone was no longer stiff, "You can ride in the chariot with me." ”
As soon as the words fell, he remembered that his chariot had been smashed by the inexplicable queen mother's body on the way here
Danli still shook his head, "I don't want to sit in the chariot, that one is too stuffy to sit up." ”
"And what do you want?"
"I want you to carry me back"
Dan Li said close to his ear, and gave him a slightly shy and mischievous smile.
"It's just nonsense"
Emperor Zhaoyuan's face turned dark, and he glared at her fiercely, but someone was not afraid of him at all, and his apricot eyes gradually became watery, "I'm serious, not fooling around." ”
"You ......"
"You're so inconsiderate of me...... I was locked up in that black coffin for so many days before you remembered to come and see me, and now you don't even want to do it."
Danli complained with tears, Emperor Zhaoyuan was angry and funny, remembering that she had encountered this terrible and bizarre thing, and she was almost alive, and her heart couldn't help but soften again, and she muttered for a while, and ordered the people around her: "I and Concubine Xian have to go alone, you don't have to follow." ”
Under his cold glance, everyone retreated.
"Come on."
He reached out and naturally wanted to take her into his arms.
"Let's talk about it first, you can't carry me like a sack like last time"
Dan Li finished speaking first, and then leaned into his chest with confidence.
After a while, he picked her up, carefully protected her in his arms, and then strode out of the door of the house. The mahjong on the side was very obedient, and jumped on Danli's shoulder, and the two of them walked away, leaving only a group of people from the Shi family looking at each other.
The night gradually deepened, the wind blew from the end of the alley, mixed with a little rain, and the bluestone pavement looked slightly moist under the feet.
Summer is finally over, the cool wind is dyed with a bit of autumn, and the raindrops are smashing on the eaves, which is crisp and beautiful. On the pavilion in the distance, there are rare old lights, but there is no longer a song and a bamboo, only a low shakuhachi sound, close your eyes and listen, but there is also a charm.
The streets are still sparsely populated, and even when chaos is settled, few people dare to walk after dark. There are even a few houses in the alley that hang white flags, as if a family member has died in the disaster, and there is a faint mourning murmuring in the dark night.
The wind blew the clothes of the two, entangled and ambiguously wrapped together, Dan Li lay in his arms, lazily didn't think about anything, only felt a burst of relaxed sleepiness hit him.
Emperor Zhaoyuan felt that the warm delicate body fit closely with him, and the heavy chest seemed to fill the vacancy that was eternal and sorrowful-
"Next time, don't run away from the palace, this time you almost lost your life, you should have a longer memory"
"Hmmm......"
"Your father and eldest sister are not good people, so I won't have much contact with them in the future - you don't even know if I sold you."
"Hmmm......"
"There is still a bit of chaos in the palace, but the Queen Mother and her gang are gone, you can be free and relaxed in the future."
“……”
This time, he didn't even owe a word of hum, and Dan Li slept soundly, completely ignoring Emperor Zhaoyuan's advice.
"You......"
With a sigh of hatred, he hugged her tighter, and put the cloak over her shoulders, his hands moving very softly.
The night breeze blew his coat, and the silhouettes of the two were reflected on the dim street stones. He walked all the way, completely unnoticed, in the dark shadow on the street corner, someone with tears in his eyes, looking at him in disbelief-
Haori stood stiffly, his whole body spasming, unable to believe what he was seeing: in his arms, he would hold other women so affectionately
That position has always belonged to her
At this moment, Haori stood in the shadows blankly, watching the two of them grinding their ears and temples in a daze, and gradually moving away.
Her heart was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
At the beginning of the palace, Emperor Zhaoyuan simply placed Danli in his own bedroom, completely watched her, and did not let her go out and run around.
Above the Jing Pavilion, Zuo Xiang was about to speak, but he heard the faint sound of a woman's laughter in the courtyard, and his brows furrowed for a while. He raised his head and looked at the figure of the woman chasing and playing with the cat in the atrium, and when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything after all, but still returned to the original topic, "The chaos has been decided, but several original culprits have not been caught, and there is a fly in the ointment after all!!
