27. From now on is a passerby
She couldn't tell if he was sober or not, and it didn't matter what the truth was.
Looking into the distance behind him, a person with a carriage and dozens of soldiers were waiting there, probably waiting for Wanyue.
"General An, tonight is the happiest day since I entered the palace, but time has changed, I will also bury this memory deeply in my heart, please forget it."
Standing in front of him, he still had the smell of wine on his body, his eyes were cold, it seemed that he should be awake, and there was a silence around him, walking calmly in the direction of the carriage.
"If you don't want to go back, I can..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wan Yue, "General, they are waiting for me." She had to go back, what the consequences would be if she didn't go back, she didn't dare to imagine, "And you are the most trusted person of Your Majesty, the pillar of the southern sky of my Qi country." ”
He has been weird lately, he used to be arrogant, when and where he was restrained and elegant, cautious, but now it has become a little chaotic.
Bypassing his side, he walked towards Bi Yiyun behind him, "Go back to the palace." ”
Her voice was so soft, word by word, it blew into his heart along the breeze like that, forgetting ~ By the way, he seemed to have really forgotten something,
Listening to the sound of the carriage behind her, she had already gotten into the carriage and decided to go back to the palace, he already knew that she would not stay outside the palace for too long, she said that she wanted to leave, but now she still chose to go back,
Even if she doesn't go back, His Majesty will send more people to look for her until he finds her, and he will not give up, all he thinks is wishful thinking.
Before every dawn broke, it was an endless night that was about to suffocate, it was almost dawn, he couldn't see the way back clearly, the surroundings were quiet, he could hear his own breathing, his breathing was rapid, his heart and lungs were almost unbearable,
He hated his powerlessness, hated his cowardice, in the end he couldn't do anything, she was gone, why did I feel her smell still in the air, her words still echoed in my ears,
Maybe tonight was just his delusion?
So why did he stay here and be reluctant to leave?
When His Majesty summoned him, he lied, and at that moment he said that he had chosen not to see her, and that it would be good if she could be outside the palace all the time, and that he wanted to take her back and hide her in a place where no one knew.
Now, it has become an unattainable dream~
And Wanyue returned to the palace, but was sent back to the same place, and Gao Yang didn't ask a word, as if nothing had happened.
However, there are many more people around her, it seems that Gao Yang arranged the eyeliner in order to prevent her from escaping again, she can only work calmly every morning, return late at night, day after day, she seems to have never seen An Youju appear in front of Gao Yang again.
In the past, all kinds of things are like water flowing through the years~
She didn't remember how long it had been since she saw Yuan Shu, and when she didn't see him, she was protecting herself, and she was also protecting Yuan Shu, and when there were many eyeliners, she could only honestly sleep in her own room when she was idle.
Looking at her sleeping appearance, they will disappear, and only in this way can Gao Yang relax his vigilance and find another opportunity to pull them out one by one.
Curled up in the quilt, the cold made her sleepy and cold, it was difficult to sleep, she didn't know when she fell asleep, she still remembered the scene of him running around with An Youju that day, he was not a little impatient, but happy.
But he is very disgusted with the matter of visiting the Qinglou, and he really doesn't know what kind of Mrs. An will be able to subdue him in the future, and this Mrs. An is also the luckiest!

"You have no soul in hatching chicks like this!" Wanyue watched as An Youju soaked raw eggs in hot water.
He shook his head in confusion,
"The hen hatches the chicks and is motionless under the body, keeping it warm, you soak it in hot water like this and cook it for a while, you can directly eat boiled eggs, I want to be soft, thank you."
Looking at An Youjue's depressed expression, I couldn't help but want to laugh, hahaha, a child without a child, when Wanyue was young, because she was told by her parents that she couldn't turn on the gas by herself, she also soaked her eggs in hot water, but the weather was cold, the water was cold for a while, and the temperature dropped down, and raw eggs couldn't be cooked.
When you grow up, you will know that boiling water can be cooked in a thermos cup for an hour, and you can satisfy your desire to eat eggs in such a lazy way but are not willing to boil hard.
*
The morning sun shone down, Wanyue woke up, she found that the corners of her mouth were smiling, it turned out that what was just now was a dream, a feeling of loss spontaneously arose, sadness from the bottom of her heart.
There are some things that she always wants An Youju to forget, but she always remembers, and the more she wants to forget, the clearer it will be in her mind.
Wanyue changed into the clothes of a palace maid who was unharmed with ordinary people, and went where she should be, her eyes were scattered, although she was here, she didn't know what she was thinking.
"See the Queen."
Hearing the voices of the palace maids, she also knelt on the ground, buried her head lower, and couldn't see anyone's figure.
"See Concubine Pei." Get up and bow again, then bury your head down,
On the same road, the queen and Concubine Pei couldn't pass through the two sedan chairs at the same time, so the two were in a stalemate and didn't look like backing down.
"Let's." Empress Li Zu'e's mouth opened slightly and spit out a word.
The waiter beside him comprehended, and said loudly to the sedan chair on Pei Concubine's side, "Let." Motioning for them to go aside,
Concubine Pei clenched her teeth and spit out a word viciously, "Come in." ”
The people under her command immediately understood what she meant, and wanted to compete with the queen's ceremonial driver, and for a while, both parties had already walked to the middle of the road, facing each other face to face, on par.
After a long time, Concubine Pei opened her mouth first, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has summoned you, can you let me go first?" ”
I have long heard that this concubine Pei has been more publicized after being favored, and I never thought that I would dare to intercept the queen's way now, if the queen does not show some majestic posture, I am afraid that no one in this harem can compete with her anymore.
"Concubine Pei, remember your identity, this palace is the queen, how can there be any reason!" The queen's tone was calm, but the dissatisfaction and anger in her tone could also be heard.
"The respect and humility of the concubines are related to the will of the gods, and the concubines and concubines are strong, and the future path is unknown." It seems that she has a heart of arrogance, waiting for when the queen will fall, and she can take her place.
The queen, who couldn't see her expression clearly, didn't know what to say to Concubine Pei, so Concubine Pei decided to lean her sedan chair aside and let the queen pass first.
It's also tiring to watch a farce on the sidelines, and I don't know when the other people will disperse, leaving only myself in place,
When he raised his head again, An Youju stood in front of him, wanting to stretch out a hand for himself, the hands of the man, his hands were a little dark and rough, and he had left a little callouse on his hands after years of training and leading soldiers to fight, and he seemed to want to help himself up,
Wan Yue ignored it, stood up and patted the dust on her body, she was not a ruthless person, for his good and for her own good, she still avoided suspicion.
He froze in place, looking at his empty hand in distraction, and when he looked around, making sure that no one else was watching, he took his hesitant hand and pulled him to a hidden place.
"General An, come with me."
Wan Yue: "I'm very grateful to General An for helping me when I was in trouble, but General An, you don't know, it's not what it used to be, my current situation is really embarrassing, if the general has something to do with me, I'm afraid I'll be burdened, in the long run, it's better to keep a distance." ”
She smiled, the smile was as false as when she first saw it, and I could gradually tell the truth behind her smile from the bright smile I had seen her drunk.
An Youju: "I just want to help you up, I haven't thought about it so much..."
She knelt on the cold stone slab, I don't know how long she knelt, worried that she would not be able to stand on her feet, so she reached out to help, but she directly ignored it, did she really know each other from then on?
Why? What is the reason for this? He was not afraid of the majesty and suspicion of the emperor, he was not afraid of the opinions of the people of the world, he never thought of approaching, he only hoped to look from his side, but this could not be done.
Wan Yue: "But such a move is a party in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, General An is upright, naturally he will not have anything to do with a humble person like me, you can stand in the sun and feel the warmth, you can also stand in the center of ten thousand people to feel the infinite glory, but I just want to protect myself." ”
An Youju: "If you really think so, then do as you wish~"
An Youju turned to leave, looking at his back a little lonely, he has always been alone, and he should go on like this alone.
When Wanyue came, he saw Pei Concubine crying here with a pear blossom and rain on her face, Gao Yang listened expressionlessly, saw Wanyue coming, reprimanded Pei Concubine and punished her to think about it behind closed doors for a month.
It seems that it is to give the queen dignity, no matter which concubine is favored in Gao Yang's heart, it is not as important as Li Zu'e in his heart, and Concubine Pei is boring for herself.
Wan Yue didn't say a word, and went to serve tea, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”
Gao Yang quietly peeked at her every move, she didn't seem to like to talk anymore, she became less talkative, and she was not as lively and cheerful as before.
"You... Nothing to say? Gao Yang took a sip of tea, expecting her answer.
"Not really, Your Majesty." Wan Yue lowered her eyes from beginning to end, reluctant to meet his gaze, although she knew that Gao Yang was paying attention to her every move, so she was extra cautious and did not make mistakes.
"Late, late." Gao Yang called softly,
"Your Majesty, the slave can't afford it." Wan Yue put down everything in her hand, walked to Gao Yang and knelt in front of her, bowed, bowed her head and her hands and her whole body to the ground,
Gao Yang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and threw the whole cup of tea on the ground, and the hot tea splashed on the corner of his clothes without checking it, "If you want something, just say it, and you can tell me what you want to do, don't be so indifferent, remember, you are my Gao Yang's sister." ”
Hearing his words, Wan Yue's heart was both aggrieved and resentful, as if she was angry with him, and said confidently, "The slave doesn't dare, I'm just a slave in the palace, I obey the holy order, and I don't dare to disobey." ”
Looking at her humble appearance again, she said disdainfully, "The Gao Wanyue in my memory will not swallow her anger like this, and her eyebrows will be pleasing to the eye." ”
Hearing this, Wanyue no longer knelt on the ground, straightened up, and met Gao Yang's gaze, "Your Majesty should remember that Gao Wanyue has almost died in your hands twice!" If it weren't for me, Gao Wanyue would have died. ”
