Chapter 182: Red Sleeves
"Lord Wang?" Red Sleeves put down the tea cup in his hand, the pen in Beiyu Jinchen's hand was pinched off by him for some time, and the wooden stubble was stuck between his fingers and he was unconscious.
There were several copies of the birth on the desk, which were messy.
He folded one of them and handed it to her, and the red sleeves glanced down at it, and the words "wait for me" were written on it, but the handwriting of this word was very different from his own, more like he imitated someone's penmanship.
"Today, above the court, the envoy of Nanjing asked me for a person - Su Yanqing, the eldest prince of Nanjing. Hearing that their ancestor had died, the only surviving prince accidentally fell off his horse, and two years ago he sent people to Beiyan to find his whereabouts, and only got the news yesterday that he was in prison, so he had left. ”
He said it slowly, without the slightest surprise, but as if he had a premonition.
Red sleeves knew that he had always been like this, and he was afraid that he had already found out Su Yanqing's identity, but he had been waiting for this opportunity, and he personally released him and let Nanjing owe him a favor.
"Then, this letter is ......"
"He was taken away and left nothing, and those people will not allow him to leave anything. Jin'er ...... I have him in my heart, and if I know that he is leaving like this...... She's been through so much and I don't want to upset her anymore. ”
"Lord Wang...... "He is becoming less and less like him, obviously so decisive in killing, bottomless people, there is no room for sand in his eyes, and he can retreat step by step for the sake of Miss Jin.
Red Sleeves knew in her heart that Miss Jin was the prince in her heart, not Su Yanqing, even if she hated him again, she couldn't hide the intertwined emotions. The prince is smart, and now he can't see through the person in Miss Jin's heart, who is a fan of the authorities and a bystander.
Red Sleeves returned to the garden with the letter, and saw Su Jin staring at Yun Tang's wooden hair in a daze from a distance.
Because she was pregnant, she couldn't eat for days, and the whole person lost weight, and the tip of her small nose was blown by the cool breeze, which was red and more lovely.
Clutching the letter tightly in her hand, she didn't take a step until Su Jin turned her head to see her.
"Red Sleeves? What happened to you? ”
Red Sleeves opened his mouth and didn't speak, and only said after a while: "Su Gongzi has been released from prison." ”
"What!" Su Jin looked extremely surprised: "Where is he?" Where is he now, did he ask you to bring me a message? ”
The red sleeves held the letter tighter, and Su Jin's performance would indeed make people misunderstand her feelings for Su Yanqing, and it is estimated that Su Yanqing himself could not distinguish this feeling. But she knew that if it was Xin Li who was released today, she would be just as happy.
"He left and didn't say anything." After a pause, Redsleeves tucked the letter back into his sleeve. "There's nothing left either."
"Impossible!" Su Jin suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands, the force was terrifying, as if the next moment, this shoulder blade would shatter. "Did you kill him and lie to me that he left? Why are you doing this? Where is Beiyu Jinchen, I want to see him! ”
Redsleeves took a few steps back before he could break free. Su Jin's eyes were already full of disappointment and doubt, and the bloodshot left by the long-term failure to rest was snaking around the black pupils, making her eyes a little more tired, and she couldn't help but feel pity.
Red Sleeves knelt down in front of her, and this kneeling, Su Jin also had to take a step back.
"Miss Jin, people are released by the Son of Heaven, he is the prince of Nanjing, so he naturally wants to go back to inherit the throne. If you don't believe it, tomorrow the prince will take you into the palace, and you will hear with your own ears how the ministers discuss this matter. ”
"Nanjing ......" Su Jin was like a drowning man who had lost the last straw, and muttered: "No wonder, they said that he has a special status, so he is held in solitary confinement." It turned out, it turned out, because of this. ”
Her gaze fell on the tassel knot around her waist, gently caressing it like a treasure, and then untying it in the palm of her hand.
She failed to return the tassel knot to him, and he left.
It seemed a little disappointed and sad, but she was even happier, and he finally got out of the cage that had been set up because of her. Her guilt is one point less, and her concern is one point less.
Redsleeves kept looking at her, watching her put the tassel knot back in the brocade box and put it on the shelf.
Then he sat alone on the edge of the corridor and watched the sky get darker and darker.
No tears were shed, and no other emotions were revealed.
Although Red Sleeves has an intuition, the person in Su Jin's heart should be the prince, but I have to say that Su Yanqing seems to be very important to her, beyond the importance of friends, I don't know what this kind of feeling is, Red Sleeves has not experienced it, and it is impossible to identify.
The letter that was written and waiting for me was torn apart in the wind.
Maybe that Su Gongzi also had such a letter, but it couldn't be handed over to Miss Jin.
In any case, this matter became a secret.
Whether it is Beiyu Jinchen's distress for Su Jin, or Su Yanqing's reluctance to Su Jin, they are all buried in the earth with shredded paper.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of autumn, and the bleak trees showed signs of early winter.
Su Jin's lower abdomen has slightly bulged, and she has become quiet, often stroking her lower abdomen to sleep in Xiao Yuan's rocking chair, more and more like a person who is about to become a mother.
My appetite began to show signs of improvement, and I slowly plumped up, no longer overly thin, and regained my beauty as sweet and greasy as a rose in the first rain.
Whether it was Ah Xiu or Red Sleeves, they were all more cautious, enjoying the hard-won peace and tranquility of Xiaoyuan.
Beiyu Jinchen came frequently, often covering her after she fell asleep, or taking away the books that were about to fall, and sometimes the weather was too cold, she would gently pick her up and take her back to the bedroom to rest.
She didn't reject him as much as she used to, and because of the cold, she would curl up in his arms at night to sleep all night.
He would tell her over and over again what name he wanted to give his child, even if she ignored it and pretended to be indifferent. Sometimes, I also get angry when I hear him deliberately say a few strange names.
Red Sleeves could see that the prince was trying to make her learn to care about them and this child, and it all seemed to be slowly starting to turn around when the cold winter came.
However, it all came to an abrupt end on the night he was preparing to rob the prison.
It was already the middle of the night, but Beiyu Jinchen asked his subordinates to prepare horses.
Wearing a night suit that had not been touched for a long time, he spoke softly, for fear of waking up the sleeping Su Jin in the house.
"Lord Wang...... What are you? Redsleeves was puzzled, but obediently handed him his usual long face and dagger.
"The emperor ordered that three days later, the remnants of the previous dynasty would be beheaded. I had promised Jin'er that if I wanted to protect him, I could only get him out of prison before they could act. "Red Sleeves is someone he trusts, and he doesn't hesitate to tell the reason." Help me take care of her. ”
"Didn't the emperor ignore the government? How could it be ......"
Beiyu Jinchen frowned slightly, and his pupils were dark.
"It's Concubine Nian, I don't know what she knows, but this is really what she did."
He said no more, and disappeared into the night.
Redsleeves sighed, feeling uneasy in his heart.
