Chapter 140: Drunken Thoughts
Sijun is still temporarily in the town general's mansion, and when I come back from the Yinshan Palace, I will take him away from the life of a slave, I want to accept him as a righteous brother, and I want to take care of this child without a father and mother for Yihua.
The brigade set off again for Yinshan.
The palace is at the southern foot of Yin Mountain, there is a large meadow in front of the palace gate, and the palace is surrounded by mountains and lush trees. The feng shui here looks extremely good.
The Praetorian Guards who came with them were all encamped in front of the palace and stationed the guards of the palace city.
Only the slaves and maidservants around the emperor and some powerful people lived in the palace.
The Yinshan Palace seems to be older than the Pingcheng Imperial Palace, just like the Han Palace in the Qin Dynasty.
Yi Hua once came to Yinshan, but I don't know if she has ever entered the palace, and I don't have such a memory in my mind.
From the moment I stepped through the gate of the palace, I was deeply attracted by this majestic blue brick hall.
After passing through several heavy gates, the fine white jade paved ground in the hall shone with a warm light.
Tuoba Hong took me by the hand and walked to the platform of the dragon chair in front of the various guards of the northern realm, and he and I accepted the bows of the generals below.
After accepting the courtiers' bows, I was greeted into the dormitory by the palace keeper.
The slaves and maids in the palace bowed in front of me, and the grandmother introduced herself, and she said that the slaves and maids had been calling her Mama Luo, and I would call her so.
In the evening, I didn't see Tuoba Hong, and when Gao Xian came to greet me, he told me that the emperor had gone to the military camp stationed in Baidao City.
After listening, I understood that the emperor had gone to inspect the army.
Baidao City is a military castle built in Yinshan, a fortress that controls the communication between the north and the south, and it is also the most important place for the garrison of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
I know that Tuoba Hong must have something to do with him when he comes to the Yinshan Palace, and I don't need to ask more, he won't come back to the palace in a few days after he goes to Baidao City.
The purpose of my trip is to find out what Mofang does.
I asked Yinglin to call Xiao Jingqi in front of her, and then retreated left and right, leaving Xiao Jingqi alone.
He looked at me and smiled, I didn't let him come to me to see his expression, I looked at him silently.
When I took out the ink cube and put it in front of him, his eyes were still deep and indifferent, and he was unusually calm.
"Do you know this?" I looked at him and asked.
Xiao Jingqi just shook his head calmly.
"What is this?" He asked lightly, picking it up and looking at it carefully.
Looking at the puzzled look on his face, it seemed that he really didn't know.
Yes, Yi Huan went to Yinshan, and Xiao Jingqi had already left her and returned to Nantu.
How much does he know about what happened next?
"Where did this thing come from?" He looked at me earnestly.
Xiao Jingqi called me by my name and spoke so casually, fortunately no one else was present.
I looked out and saw that there were no guards walking around, so I followed him.
I looked at him expectantly and asked, "Whatever this thing is, do you see what?" ”
His good-looking eyes smiled slightly, and he replied to me, "Yes." ”
I immediately asked, "What is it?" ”
Xiao Jingqi's deep contour crossed his handsome face, and a trace of contemplation crossed before he replied to me.
The material of this thing, I have seen, is very similar to the Nanmu of the building of this palace, regardless of the age or the pattern engraved on it. I think it's a decoration somewhere in this palace. ’
I believed his words and asked, "You mean this thing came from this palace?"
Xiao Jingqi said with great certainty, "It should be." ’
A hint of doubt appeared on his handsome face, "Can you tell me, where did you get this piece of nanmu?" ”
I don't know if I should tell him in my dream that Yi Hua had been to Yaohua Palace, and the relationship between Yi Hua and Li Amaranth and Concubine Li.
However, I am still in a state of belief in him, after all, the love between him and Otoki should be true.
After thinking about it, I still answered his question, told him that I had dreamed that Yi Hua went to Yaohua Palace to look for something, and also told him about the piece of ink I found in Yaohua Palace.
After Xiao Jingqi heard this, he was very calm.
And I wondered, did he know what he was looking for this thing for?
So, do you know what Otoki was looking for this thing for? ’
Regarding my question, Xiao Jingqi just glanced at me indifferently, and finally shook his head.
Looking at him, I really didn't seem to know, but the strangeness in his eyes confused me a little.
I looked at him and asked, "Can you help me find a place in the palace where this piece of nanmu is needed, and where is it possible?" ”
Xiao Jingqi nodded in agreement, and replied to me seriously, "Even if you don't ask me, I will figure out what Yihua did this for." ”
I looked at him intently.
"I'll figure out everything about Yihua." He said solemnly.
He departed from me, gracefully and indifferently, and I seemed to see firmness in his eyes.
I watched his back until he stepped out of my dormitory.
At the moment, I feel that it is good for him to come along, and some things can only be discussed with him.
~~~~~~~~
At night, in the mountains behind the palace, on the big trees.
Xiao Jingqi lay on the tree pole, staring intently at the faint light of the branches and leaves.
He held the wine bag in his hand and drank it slowly, one sip at a time.
He was afraid that when she remembered all the things about Etoku, she would remember the things that hurt her heart.
So, will she forgive him?
Thinking of this, he took a sharp sip of wine.
Tears glistened in his eyes.
He really wanted to go back to back to where he was back then, then he would choose her instead of leaving when she needed him.
He didn't want to comfort Da Xilan that night, so she wouldn't see it and wouldn't be sad.
Just when he was a little dazed and drunk, he suddenly felt someone walking nearby.
It's a man, it's a woman.
He was stunned, and his white clothes floated down from the tree pole and landed in front of the woman.
He saw clearly that the woman was Yinglin, a slave beside her, holding a handful of flowers in her hand.
He glanced at it, and it was Viburnum.
Ying Lin was very surprised when she saw him suddenly, and said without a pause, "Bai Langzhong is so late, why is he here?" ”
He looked at Yinglin indifferently and said in a deep voice, "It's so late, why doesn't Miss Yinglin serve by Niangniang's side and come to this mountain to do something?" ”
Ying Lin's face turned pale, then she smiled and said, "Niangniang asked the slave maid to see if there was any such flower, so the slave maid went up the mountain to take a look, and picked a handful, so I went back." ”
Ying Lin looked at him, saw that he didn't say anything more, bowed to him, and hurriedly went down the mountain.
Xiao Jing was perched behind her, just looking at her back coldly.
He saw the look of this slave and maid completely, if he really just came to pick flowers, why should he be so nervous when he saw him.
He was skeptical.
The wine bag in his hand poured the wine into his mouth again, but he realized when the wine had run out.
The mountain chill made him feel cold, and his thin clothes were already covered with dew.
When he returned to the palace, it was already late at night, and he knew that the emperor was not there, and he would stay there for a few days when he went to Baidao City.
As he passed by the door of the dormitory, he felt the slightest urge to resist it.
It's just a door, but he feels thousands of miles away from her, which is heart-wrenching.
He ignored the door for a long time, until he realized that he had lost his temper, and then he suddenly came to his senses.
Tonight, he was drunk and missed her even more.
Even if he knew she wasn't her......
"Bai Rui..."
A flat voice came.
Xiao Jingqi hurriedly turned around and looked at Gao Xian who was walking towards him, Gao Xian's look at him seemed to see all the abnormalities he had just seen.
Gao Xian understands his thoughts very well, but he just doesn't want to find him in front of him.
He pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly to hide his gaffe.
Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and smiled, putting one hand on his shoulder, "I see that you can't sleep either, it's better to drink with you." ”
Xiao Jingqi reluctantly smiled lightly, "I've only drunk it in the next." ”
Gao Xian sniffed him and frowned, "No matter how you drink, it's not interesting." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll keep drinking with you." Xiao Jingqi dragged Gao Xian away, as if he was afraid that the people inside the door would hear it.
~~~~~~~~~~
The night was cold, my dreams were cold, and I dreamed of the abyssal cave again.
I found that it was very dark around me, and I was walking forward, a quiet and cold road.
I was alone, there was no Amaranth around, no one.
I don't know where the sword in my hand has gone, and I can't remember what I've been through.
I was scared, my body was shaking, and my eyes were staring straight ahead.
The road under my feet was very long, and I was groping my way forward.
I panicked, and I couldn't calm my nervous mood at all.
"Amaranth, Amaranth, are you there?" I shouted softly forward.
There was only my voice in the hallway, and there was no reply.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a scream rang out, and I covered my ears in fear.
"Mother......" a voice shouted in my ear.
I snapped my eyes open, and when I calmed down, I realized that I had another dream.
Qiuyun kept vigil by my bed, hurriedly bringing a hot towel to wipe the sweat on my forehead.
"Niangniang, can the slave ask Imperial Doctor Jia to cook you some soothing soup?" Qiuyun helped me to sit on the bed.
I took a deep breath and was about to get out of bed, and Qiuyun was busy waiting for me to put on my boots.
I approached the window and wanted to push open the window to take a breath, but Qiuyun hurriedly said, "Niangniang, it's cold outside, it's not good for your body." ”
As if I didn't feel anything in my melancholy eyes, I pushed open the window and let the cool breeze blow on my face.
In this way, I feel very comfortable.
