Chapter 42
The Nine Emperors' eyes originally exuded a cold feeling, but at this time, when he saw the tears in Ah Yan's eyes, he suddenly froze there.
He looked at her in a daze, and pursed his lips into a straight line, and after half a sound, he finally sighed.
Since the previous life, he seems to be an extremely terrifying existence.
In fact, he really never wanted her to be afraid of himself.
In this life, from a very young age, he silently installed his connections, helped her clear the obstacles without a trace, secretly prepared elixirs for her, and did what the emperor in the previous life would never do, all in order to make up for the regrets of the previous life.
He frowned, looking at the girl whose tears were about to fall again, and his heart swelled with unbearable irritability.
"Don't cry, I won't ask" He stood up abruptly, turned his face away, and decided not to look at her again.
Ah Yan looked at the Nine Emperor Princes who suddenly had their backs to him in surprise, and blinked ignorantly. Although she couldn't guess, it was good that she could escape.
So while wiping her tears, she said in a thick nasal voice: "Ah Yan thanked the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
The Nine Emperors' tense voice said, "No thanks. ”
So neither of them spoke, one sat there caressing his bandaged ankle, and the other stood there, like a tall door god.
The night breeze blows, bringing with it the scent of unknown flowers in the distance.
It was very quiet, except for the occasional dog barking and the sound of an old man laughing next door.
The two of them were silent until the crescent moon was hidden in the clouds, and the Nine Emperor Princes looked at the sky and finally said, "Are you tired? ”
In fact, Ah Yan no longer touched the ankle that was bandaged into a big steamed bun, and she began to count the wisps of green silk beside her shoulder.
At this time, when he heard the Nine Emperors say this, he hurriedly whispered: "I'm really tired." ”
When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they walked over and bent down, and suddenly a shadow enveloped Ah Yan.
When Ah Yan was curious about what he was going to do, he felt his whole body hang in the air.
He was beaten and hugged again.
Ah Yan stiffened, nervously clutching the clothes on his shoulders.
The Nine Emperors picked her up, put her on the kang with a blank face, and then picked up the quilt on the side and covered her.
"You sleep, I'll go to another room. ”
Then the Nine Emperors didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.
The door opened and closed again.
Ayan heard the footsteps of the Nine Emperor Princes, followed by the sound of another door being pushed open.
She didn't dare to move, for fear that her ankle would hurt if she moved, so she could only lie there silently, smelling the smell of dirt in the kang and looking at the roof in the dark.
When I thought of my mother and brother and Xiqing, I just felt that my heart was chaotic.
She came out to see Shen Congjia today, it was indeed reckless, but how did things come to this point?
How did it become that the Nine Emperor Princes got her here, and then she was injured and lay alone on the strange kang, enduring loneliness and fear.
She was thinking about it when suddenly, a small animal jumped onto the bed quickly, and its movements were staggering.
Her eyes widened in horror as she felt the little thing jump on the quilt and throb heavily at her feet.
She couldn't take it anymore, opened her mouth wide, let go of her throat, and roared the most terrifying sound in her two lives combined.
"Ahh
Hearing this voice, the Nine Emperor Princes rushed into the house almost immediately.
"What's wrong?" his voice was rough and tense.
Ayan cried and mourned, frowned, and said in a trembling voice: "Old ...... Rats ......"
At this time, the rat was startled by the Nine Emperors, and had already swooped out, heading straight to the dark place in the corner of the room.
The Nine Emperors frowned, like an arrow off the string, and rushed straight there, and the knife in his hand was about to strike.
"Ahh
Ayan shouted.
When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they had to pause, and then they saw that the rat had scurried into a cave somewhere and was never seen again.
At this time, the old doctor next door and his neighbor also hurriedly ran over: "Young man, what happened?"
The Nine Emperor Princes put away the dagger and said lightly: "I'm really sorry to disturb the two, it's nothing." ”
The old doctor was puzzled: "Why does it sound like I have died?" ”
The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at Ah Yan on the kang and said, "It's just a mouse." ”
The old doctor and the old neighbor were dumbfounded: "A mouse, scared like this?"
Ah Yan blushed and said, "Hmm." ”
The old doctor and the neighbor glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and said with a smile: "Girl's family, haha, fortunately there is this young man!"
At that moment, the old doctor and the neighbor continued to go to the next door to play chess all night, and Ah Yan was lying on the bed, not daring to move, she could feel that the Nine Emperor Princes were looking at her with strange eyes.
So she decided to pretend to be asleep and tried to close her eyes.
But the Nine Emperors finally asked, "Why didn't you let me kill the rats?"
When Ah Yan heard the word "kill", he immediately shuddered.
"You...... Don't you think it's scary......"
Terrible?The Nine Emperor Princes had doubts in their eyes.
Ah Yan was helpless, so he had to say with a bitter face: "I'm so afraid of mice, I'm so scared of the dead and alive, if you kill it, I'm even more scared when I look at it, so it's better to let it run away." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at Ah Yan speechlessly, the wind blowing, and the black hair brushed his young and jade-like face.
"Then let's not kill. Half-ringing, he finally compromised.
Ah Yan really didn't know how she spent this night, this was the first time in her two lives that she had slept in such horror and simplicity.
In the middle of the night, she woke up and suddenly wanted to relieve herself, but thinking of the difficulty of this matter, she tried to endure it.
The next morning, she heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and then she heard a familiar voice: "This is it." ”
When Ah Yan heard this, tears suddenly fell.
Brother, I've finally found it!
Immediately afterwards, it was the sound of Gu Song and the Nine Emperor Princes talking outside the door, and then he heard the door open, Gu Song came in, and he was startled.
"Ah Yan, are you okay?" Gu Song usually feels the most sorry for his sister, but now he sees his sister lying there with tears streaming down her face, motionless, and she is really distressed.
Ah Yan pursed his mouth and cried while saying, "Brother, I want to cherish the sun, cherish the sun!"
Gu Song was surprised: "Xiqing, Xiqing is behind, what do you want Xiqing to do? Don't wait for her first, I'll carry you to the carriage first." ”
Ah Yan tensed, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "I want to cherish Qing!
Gu Song had never seen his sister so excited, so he nodded in fright: "Okay, okay, you calm down, don't cry, my brother will go and call Xiqing." ”
Ah Yan didn't say a word, biting his lip tightly, his two bright eyes opened wide, looking straight at the roof.
After half a ring, Xiqing finally hurried into the house under the urging of everyone.
At the door of the house, the Nine Emperor Princes frowned and looked inside, their cold eyes filled with worry.
Gu Song looked at his sister even more worriedly, what's wrong with my sister, it feels like she has fallen into an evil spirit.
Ah Yan twisted his face and saw his brother and the Nine Emperor Princes at the door of the house.
A wave of grief and indignation surged from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't care about anything else, and waved her hand: "You guys go out, go out, close the door!"
Gu Song was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with his mouth wide open.
The Nine Emperors were speechless, stepped back, and closed the door.
So Gu Song laughed and said to the Nine Emperors: "My sister was spoiled when she was a child, and her temperament is really bad!"
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at the mountains in the distance and said lightly, "It's nothing. ”
Gu Song had long been accustomed to the coldness of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he didn't feel anything unusual at the moment.
And in the house, Ah Yan saw Xiqing, and finally couldn't help it anymore, crying aggrievedly with a pouted mouth, and whispered: "I want to relieve myself...... ......Hurry up," she almost trembled as she said this.
Seeing this, Xiqing was also frightened, and was busy looking around the ground, and finally saw a bowl on the ground that had been eaten and unwashed, and hurriedly picked it up.
After a while, Ah Yan tidied up her dress and looked at the bowl of yellow soup just now with shame.
"You can't let them see it. "If that's the case, she'll really never see anyone again in her life.
Xiqing coughed lightly, looked outside, there were big men outside, and she whispered: "Don't worry, girl, I'll take it out and throw it out secretly." But now you have to get into the carriage, I'll go out, and call the young master to come and carry you over first, right?"
Ayan nodded: "Okay, that's the only way." ”
His eyes fell on the bowl of yellow soup again: "You, you must be careful not to let people see it!"
Xiqing naturally agreed, and took a curtain and covered it.
"So that no one can see it. ”
Here Xiqing walked out of the house, so she motioned to the young master Gu Song, Gu Song saw this, and hurriedly entered the house, and when she entered, she saw her sister sitting quietly and shyly on the edge of the kang, her face flushed.
He said worriedly: "Ah Yan, what happened to you just now, are you okay?"
Ah Yan hurriedly shook his head: "I'm fine, brother." But you, why did you come here to find me? Is my mother very worried at home? Does my ancestor know about it?"
Gu Song walked over and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Yesterday, a Xiqing was saved by the subordinates of the Nine Emperor Princes, and then the subordinates of the Nine Emperor Princes had sent someone to inform our house, saying that you were praying for your mother in the Reclining Buddha Temple, and as a result, she met Princess Pingxi, and Princess Pingxi saw that you were filial, so she left you by her side to talk. ”
Princess Pingxi?
Ah Yan blinked and thought about it.
In my impression, this princess Pingxi is the eleventh daughter of the first emperor, that is, the aunt of the Nine Emperors, named Pingxi, and now widowed in Yanjing, and loves to burn incense to the Buddha on weekdays.
Gu Song approached and whispered: "I really have to thank the Nine Emperor Princes this time, everything was arranged by him, and then I will send you to Princess Pingxi, and you will follow Princess Pingxi into the city together, otherwise it will inevitably damage our reputation." ”
Ah Yan was actually worried a lot this night, and he was also afraid that if this matter spread, he would never be able to marry again. But when she heard her brother's words, she suddenly relaxed.
If Princess Pingxi, who is widowed and worships the Buddha, returns to the city together, I believe that no one will dare to spread half a rumor about her, and even the ancestors will not dare to embarrass themselves with this matter anymore.
Ayan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother, it's not easy for me to walk here, so I can only trouble my brother to carry me to the carriage." ”
Gu Song bent down and picked up his sister, and at this time the carriage had stopped outside the door, so Gu Song placed Ah Yan in the carriage.
On the other side, Xiqing was carefully holding the bowl hidden under the curtain, sneaking past the eyes of the guards, and came to a corner, about to shake off the curtain and pour out the bowl of soup.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"What are you doing sneaking around!"
The boss's voice sounded like thunder on the ground
