23. Lonely and painful
The knife fell in his hand~ Without a trace of emotion, he slashed at Wan Yue, Wan Yue turned around and was about to run away, but the sharp blade only left a scar on Wan Yue's arm,
The blade of the scimitar has a little vermilion on it, and it flows down slowly along the edge of the scimitar, sticky and warm,
Wanyue covered her wounds, tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks, this time she may not be so lucky,
"Brother~" she shouted hoarsely,
Gao Yang stopped, and suddenly heard a low cry in his ears, her shout, as if through the clouds and the sun, reached the deepest part of his heart, awakening the already sleeping beast...
"Late, late." Gao Yang looked at Wan Yue who collapsed to the ground, and reached out to help, and Wan Yue instinctively dodged backwards to avoid his contact~
Looking at her retreating appearance, Gao Yang was also very different, stunned in place, the two of them froze, as if time had stopped passing.
"Your Majesty~ Oh, Your Majesty." The prince arrived with a group of chamberlains, it seemed that these people were here to deal with the aftermath, and the prince surrounded Gao Yang's side to ask for warmth.
Wan Yue smiled bitterly, it turned out that she really didn't matter, no one cared, no one cared, she was just a prisoner, and she had never corrected her identity.
Wan Yue stood up by herself, patted the dust on her body, followed the example of Confucianism, and turned around to leave after saluting Gao Yang, at this moment, she didn't feel the pain in her arm, and there was something in her chest when she was blocked, which was very uncomfortable.
Seeing her leaving, Gao Yang wanted to stop her, opened his mouth, and didn't make a sound,
The prince stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to call Miss Wanyue back?" ”
The prince has been watching Gao Yang's gaze, and he can become a celebrity around Gao Yang and stand tall, just by observing words and speculating on his intentions.
"Let her go~"
Gao Yang also left with a group of people, her eyes always lingered with her frightened eyes, helpless crying, she was always afraid of herself like others.
A silver hook in the night sky is like a deadly scimitar, and the bright crescent moon shines with infinite brilliance.
An Youju was still in the palace, and when he heard that His Majesty had become manic again, he came to ask for peace.
"Is there anything wrong with Your Majesty?" An Youju asked with concern, and looked around with his spare eyes, but he didn't see her figure,
"It's okay~ You stand down." Gao Yang, who was in a depressed mood, no one wanted to see more.
When he left, An Youju couldn't help but look back at the Guidian Lan Palace, in fact, he didn't like it here.
"Shh
As soon as An Youju stepped into the carriage with one foot, he saw Wan Yue hiding in his carriage, Wan Yue motioned for him not to make a sound, and he nodded.
"General, what's the matter?" Sang Zhe stepped forward and asked,
"It's okay, Sang Zhe, you go home first." With a smile on his lips, he walked into the carriage and ordered the coachman to drive out of the palace.
"Miss Wanyue, why are you here?" An Youju sat down not far from her position, and the two of them each took one side, keeping a certain distance.
An Youju saw her cowering in the corner, with a wound on her arm, the remaining bright tears in her eyes, and her eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had just cried,
"I'm tired of everything here, I want to leave, I don't want to stay here for a moment, can the general take me out of the palace?" Wanyue always sits with her knees crossed, which is the safest posture she feels, she can hold herself and feel her true self,
"If I can't find you, Your Majesty will be in a hurry, and he won't give up." An Youjue's tone was helpless, he couldn't disobey His Majesty's orders, how many people in this world can really do what they want!
"No, I don't want to stay in this filthy place any longer, and if you refuse to help me, I'll jump out of the carriage and leave by myself, and beg the general not to tell anyone that he's seen me."
Wanyue's emotions became excited, at the end of the day, she really couldn't bear it, the pain on her body was not terrible, what was terrible was that her soul was devastated, bloody, cunning, death... This is the palace, she doesn't belong here, she wants to change everything, but in the end, she can't even change herself.
The galloping carriage galloped away on the official road, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves, if An Youju really wanted to turn around and go back, Wanyue would really jump down, she had already made up her mind to leave, and she should not stay for a minute or a second.
An Youju chuckled, "Miss Wanyue, you will be at the market in a while, and you won't be too late to get off the bus by then." ”
"It's fine." Wan Yue sighed, and he agreed, that is, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, she was willing to go and only ask for her own life and death, in her own hands.
An Youju looked at her, at this moment she was discouraged, lost, depressed, she had long lost her original spirit, she experienced an experience that should not have been at this age, she had endured too much, it was common sense to be so lonely, if she fell from now on, I'm afraid...
The carriage stopped, Wan Yue rushed down, and An Youju motioned to the coachman to go home first.
"Thank you, General An, and leave it at that." Wan Yue said, ready to turn around and leave,
Looking at everything around her, the breath of freedom, and the lively atmosphere, she seemed to forget the pain she had suffered, she had never seen such a Yecheng,
At night, the lights are bright, the night is like day, the street is more lively than the day, the market is even more crowded, and the sound of selling comes from afar, and it is very lively.
What catches your eye is a dazzling array of goods, and a large number of people are rubbing shoulders and sweating like rain~
"Today is the fifteenth, and traders of all sizes can sell goods here~ Miss Wanyue, the outside of the palace is not as sinister as the palace, and the people are sinister, so it is better to travel with the girl in the end?" An Youju walked up to Wanyue's side and asked for her opinion.
If she is allowed to leave at this moment, it must be a dereliction of duty, and His Majesty will definitely blame her in the future, and it will be difficult to find her after she is gone.
"Yes~ as long as you don't take me back to the palace." Wanyue's mood changed slightly, looking forward to the ancient bazaar, looking down at her tattered palace maid's clothes, such a stroll around is not elegant, or should you change your clothes first.
"First of all, go buy clothes!" Looking at the tailor shop in the distance, he said with satisfaction,
"Okay." An Youju replied lightly, her eyes seemed to be different again, and she had somewhat returned to her former look,
She chose for herself a moon-white robe of straight placket, covered with a silver-gray silk coat, which hung very well, and her hair was coiled high, and she wore a crown hat that was the same silver-gray as her clothes, and on which was embroidered with a curved moon with silver thread just enough to cover the bruises on her forehead.
With Bai Juan's chest tightly wrapped, it was very flat, the waist was tightly tied with a wide belt with moon white auspicious cloud patterns, and a pair of black dark pattern boots stepped on the soles of his feet, like the image of a Confucian boy, walked in front of An Youju, smiled slightly, except for being a head shorter than him, the other appearances seemed to be no different from men.
The owner of this house has a very good heart, and when he saw that her arm was injured, he also applied medicine and bandaged her, hiding it in his sleeve, and there was no clue to it.
"How much does the boss cost?" Wanyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror, beautiful and happy, such clothes are comfortable to wear, loose fit, elegant and simple.
"The little boy is satisfied, just look at the appreciation." The boss didn't say the price, maybe he didn't see her bring silver taels when he threw away her clothes just now, so he didn't talk nonsense.
Wan Yue stopped smiling, she didn't have any silver taels on her, she looked at An Youju embarrassedly, and she was embarrassed to speak, and when she saw that she was still wearing a pair of pearl earrings in the mirror, she took them off, "Boss, can my pair of earrings match this dress?" ”
"Naturally." He smiled and took it, without saying a word.
An Youju never said a word.
He stood at the door of the tailor's shop, waiting for the evening joy, "Girl, do you know how many clothes you can buy for his earrings?" Sighing lightly, shaking his head helplessly, he really doesn't know the world~
Is it valuable? She doesn't think that being able to change into a suit of clothes is the best use of everything!
"It's time to eat!" Wanyue walked out of the tailor's shop, ignoring An Youju's muttering, and didn't give him any chance to sigh, and set off for the next place.
"What to eat?" An Youju looked at this miscellaneous food and was unmoved, Wanyue couldn't bear it anymore, after all, she didn't eat much breakfast, and she didn't eat for the rest of the day, looking at the delicacies on the stall, she was dazzled, and even the air was filled with fritters and buns... The alluring scent of her, she seemed hungrier.
Every time I passed a stall, the vendors were trying to recommend their food, scrambling to sell it, and Wan Yue noticed that there was a stall at the end of the alley, an old woman, boiling something in a cauldron.
Pulling An Youjue's cuffs, turning left and right, passing through many obstacles, and finally came to the only quiet place in the hustle and bustle,
"There are wontons~" Wan Yue's eyes lit up when he looked at the hot and hot wontons in the pot, and he was not very surprised when he looked back at An Youju, but he was surprised that Wan Yue had never seen such a scene, he was afraid that it was commonplace for a long time.
"Two bowls of wontons~" Wanyue pulled An Youju to sit at the table, it was still a little cool at night, and it was best to eat steaming wontons~
"Girl... Are you sure you want to eat? Ann asked in a whisper in her ear,
"Shh Wan Yue hurriedly stopped, "Tonight, I will call General An Brother An, and General An can call me Brother Xian." "Wanyue is dressed in men's clothes, and when he says a girl's mouth, won't he reveal his stuffing~
"Brother Xian?!" An Youju stumbled and shouted,
"Yes~"
The eldest lady took two bowls of wontons that had just come out of the pot and put them in front of them, the aroma was fragrant, Wanyue picked up a spoon and scooped one and blew it, and took a bite, the juice was fragrant and delicious.
The bowl is an oversized bowl, but the wontons are very delicate and small, and the snow-white thin dough is wrapped in meat filling and vegetable leaves, which is a great satisfaction for every bite of Wanyue.
The lady took advantage of the fact that there were no guests to wrap the wontons alone, a pot of fillings, and a piece of rolled dough, three or two wontons have been formed, whenever a guest comes, put the wrapped wontons into the boiling water,
After a short while, she sprinkled onions, garlic, and pepper in the bowl, dripped sesame oil, put on the mustard cut into small cubes, fished out the floating wontons, and then scooped a spoonful of hot noodle soup from the wontons, and finally garnished with tender green coriander, and then served to the guests~ The method is very simple, and the taste is also very delicious.
In addition to the happy expression on her face, she didn't know what words to use to describe it, as if her wounded heart was greatly satisfied~
Looking back at An Youjue again, the wontons in the bowl that he had eaten very little barely moved, and asked, "Brother An, isn't this wonton appetizing?" ”
