Chapter 82: Accident or Conspiracy
After inquiring about Ji Yu's injury, I asked Xiao Jingqi to boil some medicine and go to visit Ji Yu with him.
He looked at me blankly, nodding or shaking his head.
"Isn't Bai Langzhong here to save people?"
"If you didn't come to save people, why did you come to Wuzhou Mountain?"
I asked him twice.
I have a bad breath and always feel like I'm angry with him.
"Are you mad at me?" His expression was stunned.
"Nope." I replied to him coldly.
"You're blaming me, the emperor ordered you to enter the palace as a concubine, and I won't come, right?" He took a step closer to me, close to my face.
I took a step back in a panic, and at this time, it was daylight, and there were patrols everywhere, and he actually spoke to me like this.
Be louder and others will hear you.
But I was stumbling over something, and I was so stiff that I couldn't move.
In fact, he was panicking.
"Rong'er, you like me, don't you?" He looked at me affectionately, without any scruples, and Yinglin was also beside him.
My palms were sweaty, and I was afraid that anyone would hear me, though he said it so lightly, so lightly that only he and I could hear it.
I looked at him with my eyes raised, and for a moment I was dumbfounded.
I just looked at him for a moment before I came back to my senses.
I didn't answer him, and muttered, "I'm going to see His Royal Highness the King of the North Sea, you come with me." ”
I shifted the conversation back to the main topic.
He didn't react, I was unusually concerned about the King of the North Sea, he just looked at me with a blank expression.
Then, he chuckled before replying to me plainly, "Okay." ”
That "good" made me feel like he was jealous.
But I couldn't tell if he was really displeased or if he had returned to his usual calmness.
I didn't expect him to come to Wuzhou Mountain with such a blatant assertion, and I thought that he would come to see me secretly like coming to Gaofu at night.
It's that I'm thinking too much, maybe he doesn't think there's anything about my relationship with him that is unspeakable.
There is nothing to be above board.
Yes, I have nothing with him.
We didn't say anything more, he went to boil the medicine, and I waited.
After he boiled the medicine, I asked Yinglin to serve it and calmly went to the King of the North Sea.
Xiao Jingqi and I came to Ji Yu's door, and Yinglin held the boiled medicine in her hand. I was a little impatient, but I still waited for Xiao Jingqi to knock on the door.
It was Xie Rin who opened the door, and when he saw me, he was visibly surprised.
Bow to me, no longer call me "Miss Bai" or "Miss Gao", but "Rong Noble." ”
I smiled slightly, "Is Your Highness here?" ”
Xie Rin responded: "Inside, your nobleman, please."
I stepped straight into the threshold and headed for the inner room. As soon as I lifted the curtain, a sweet picture appeared in front of me, and I was at a loss.
Xie Rin had already walked in quickly, and said to Ji Yu, who was half-leaning on the bed, "Your Highness, you have come to see you."
The two pairs of eyes over there looked over, and Ji Yu and I looked at each other.
Zheng Minya was still holding the bowl, and she was feeding Ji Yu porridge just now, at this time, she hurriedly put down the porridge bowl, took two steps forward, and saluted me, "Minya has seen Rong Guiren." ”
I just glanced at her, and there was no change in her expression.
Xiao Jingqi's face was expressionless, and after he saluted Ji Yu, he said, "The noble man heard that His Royal Highness the King of Beihai was injured, so he came with the grass people to see His Highness."
He may be explaining my presence to them, lest some be misunderstood.
But I don't know what his heart is.
I didn't know what was going on, I was still standing, not moving or smiling.
Ying Lin had already put down the medicine bowl.
At this time, I heard Ji Yu say calmly: "Brother Chen, thank you for coming to visit."
Those words are very rusty, like ordinary people. My heart trembled, and somehow, there was a slight unpleasantness.
I walked to Yinglin's side quietly, picked up the bowl of medicine again, and walked towards Ji Yu's bedside. I knew that all eyes were looking at me, but I only looked at Ji Yu with a solemn expression.
Zheng Minya may have seen what I was going to do, so she hurriedly blocked in front of me, and bowed and said, "Let Minya come, you can't be too tired and tolerant of nobles."
I smiled lightly, "No, the palace personally fed His Royal Highness, thank Your Highness for saving the palace and the emperor in the stone field, without His Highness's help, the palace may have been pressed in the rocks, do some of these things, it is the palace should." ”
Zheng Minya stood there and didn't stop me again, and the others didn't say much.
But I always felt that there was a cold eye looking at me over there, and I knew that Xiao Jingqi's gaze had been with me, but I didn't care what he thought.
I brushed Zheng Minya's body and sat down in front of Ji Yu's bed.
The eyes of the King of the North Sea looked at me deeply, and he probably didn't understand why I came to see him in front of so many people, and even gave him medicine myself.
I just want him to know that I'm not treating him like air.
He's injured, I'll take a look, after all, it's for me and the emperor.
I took a spoonful of the medicine and brought it to his lips.
He was slightly stunned, staring straight at me, his eyes almost unfathomably black.
I knew he was speculating about my heart, and I didn't understand what I was doing this series of actions.
Being so close to him, although I was a little throbbing, I still calmed myself down, and said with an unnatural smile: "This is the decoction that Bai Langzhong specially boiled for His Highness, Your Highness should drink it hot, and your body should recover as soon as possible." ”
With a complicated expression on his face, he opened his thin lips and let me feed him.
He drank a bowl of medicine, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
No one in the room was silent, and they seemed to be watching my movements.
I saw the sachet that Ji Yu was wearing on his waist, and a few snow-white pear blossoms were shining, which was the sachet I embroidered for him in Mengxian Residence, and put it in his room when I left.
My heart beat faster, and the fragments of the Dream Immortal Residence shook in front of me again, and his gentle words echoed in my mind.
I didn't dare to let my emotions fluctuate too much, and there were several pairs of eyes in the room looking at us.
"Thank you for coming to see the minister." The King of the North Sea is gentle and authentic.
His words pulled my thoughts back, and I pulled the corners of my mouth and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Your Highness was injured in order to save this palace, and this palace should come to see His Highness, no need to say thank you."
I stood up, "Your Highness has a good rest." ”
I got up, didn't stop any longer, and walked straight away.
When I walked out of the door, I slowly passed by Xiao Jingqi's cold eyes, and he immediately bowed to the King of the North Sea and walked out after me.
Maybe Xiao Jingqi saw that my concern for the King of the North Sea was too abnormal.
"Do you have him in your heart?"
He asked faintly, catching up with me.
Ying Lin was behind her, and she might have heard him.
I froze, he stopped, and I looked at him again.
I didn't know how to answer him for a moment, yes or no?
There is a little, but only a little, and that point is the original intention.
I don't deny it.
A girl's original heart once stayed in the dream fairy residence, but that has passed.
I was silent, didn't answer him, started again, and kept walking.
He stayed where he was and didn't catch up with me again.
Back in the wing, I sat quietly at the table, alone.
Yinglin didn't ask anything, nor did she say anything.
Perhaps she understands that a slave shouldn't ask too much.
Tuoba Hong went to deal with this landslide incident, and Zheng Zixi was calming the people.
I don't know what happened to him?
This landslide seems to be accidental, but it is also man-made.
If so, what is its purpose?
At dinner, Tuoba Hong came to the wing room to eat with me.
The weather is still sunny during the day, but at this time, it will change, and it will rain and it will be difficult to prevent it.
Tuoba Hong told me that he went to check the location of the landslide today, and it was obvious that someone had pried the rocks to loosen and roll down.
Then someone did it deliberately.
It's a conspiracy.
"So who does the emperor think it will be?" I asked softly.
Tuoba Hong shook his head, "I haven't found out yet. ”
"What is the purpose of this catastrophe?" I'm puzzled.
Tuoba Hong straightened his complexion and put down his chopsticks.
"Some people don't want me to be close to the people, and use unexpected disasters to provoke trouble, so that I will bear the name of a disaster star, not an emperor who is blessed and a country."
His eyes were dark.
Hearing his words, I felt that the situation was serious.
"Maybe it was an accident to assassinate me, it's all possible."
His eyes tightened.
I was suspicious and afraid that it had something to do with Xiao Jingqi.
All I can think of is him.
He used to love Yi Hua so much, and the Yi family let the Northern Wei court punish him, I wonder if he will take revenge for Yi Hua.
Yi Hua hated the court so much that he finally died at the hands of the Empress Dowager.
Could it be that Xiao Jingqi has no resentment at all?
If it's him, what should I do?
Will Tuoba Hong find out about him?
But why is he still so unfazed and trembling under the eyes of this emperor?
I let my body relax slightly, maybe I was thinking too much about it.
I looked at Tuoba Hong with a faint smile and whispered, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, maybe it's really an accident." ”
After saying this, I was stunned again.
Where so many surprises.
I remembered that dream in my mind, and I remembered all the truths about Wang Zhen'er's death.
It wasn't an accident, it was murder.
The real murderer is Gao Li.
Back then, I clearly knew that Gao Li pushed Wang Zhen'er into the river, but I didn't say anything.
I was afraid that Gao Li would die because of this incident, and I thought about it for a long time in the house that year, but I still didn't confess her.
Even if she later made a big deal about me accidentally pushing Li Minxin into the river and asked my father to send me back to the old house, I didn't care about her.
I always buried her secret deep in my heart and forgot it.
If I say it, my father will not forgive her, and the Wang family will not let her go.
The accident has become a file, so let the truth of this matter be buried forever.
Three days later, Tuoba Hong was going back to the palace.
The truth of this landslide is still an accident, maybe Tuoba Hong thinks that an accident is fine.
Before leaving, You Ran bowed in front of me, and he said to me that he would not return to Gaofu, and that he would resign from Gaofu when he came out this time, and would no longer be a nurse.
I asked him where he was going?
You Ran said that he was going to go far away to look for something, and when he found it, he would come back to see me, so that I could protect myself in the palace.
I asked him what he was looking for, and he kept silent.
I had to let him value himself.
Xiao Jingqi went back to the city with my chariot.
During these three days, he only came to check my pulse every day, and he didn't say much.
I treated him with courtesy, and there were few words.
When the convoy arrived at the city gate, Xiao Jingqi said goodbye to Tuoba Hong.
Tuoba Hong thanked him.
I could tell that Takubahiro didn't suspect him of anything.
It's good to have no doubts.
He can live well, and I can live my life quietly.
He and I have become a thread that can no longer intersect, after all, my current identity is already there.
If he did anything for me, it would have brought his life to death.
Perhaps Takubahiro would have hurt him.
In this way, it is better to be quiet.
The moment he took his leave in front of the chariot, I felt a glance at me, but I still didn't react and watched him ride away.
