Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Double Shadow Is True and False
The figure under the overlapping candles witnessed it gradually merge into a line. Cao Bao's heart tightened, and he suddenly closed the hidden window.
"Cao Bao, what's wrong with you?" Cao Shu also wanted to see something through the crack in the window, but found that it had already been covered tightly by Cao Bao.
With his eyes lowered, Cao Bao left the window expressionlessly. "Cao Shu, you don't have to serve Gongzi today. You go back first! ”
The faint words were not half angry, and it was strange to hear Cao Shusha. "Cao Bao, what's wrong? Could it be that there is ...... in this house?"
"What does it matter to you in the house!" Cao Bao suddenly turned to anger, his two thin eyebrows were tightly twisted, and he stared at Cao Shu with a calm black face and angry eyes. "If you let you go, you can go, there are so many questions there!"
With inexplicable anger, Cao Shu was stunned in place. I was very surprised that Cao Bao, who has always been good-tempered, was so angry at people for the first time. Timidly squinted at Cao Bao, whose face was pale, and left with his neck curled and his mouth shut.
Cao Shu's departure made the surrounding night quiet and desolate, and Cao Bao instantly felt like a durian pressed in his heart, like a thorn in the heart, like a stone pressing his throat. Looking back at the brightly lit room, a wry smile slanted out.
With a bang, Li Xiang, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by a loud noise. Suddenly glared at his round eyes and sat up like a corpse. frowned, trembling and complaining: "Chai Xuan, why don't you sleep at night!" ”
Chai Xuan rubbed her sore arms with her hands in turn, obviously lying on the table and taking a nap, but she didn't expect it to hit the ground. Entangled in two thin eyebrows, he struggled up from the ground. Very embarrassed, he looked at Lixiang, who was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and dozing, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I try to keep it quiet. He just moved half a step on his toes, and ran to the side of Li Xiang who had just lay down, pinched his throat and said, "Li Xiang, you said it was so late, why didn't Chu Die come back!" ”
With a twist of her neck, Li Xiang didn't even bother to open her eyes, and muttered reluctantly, "What about the vigil?" "Pull the quilt and turn it to the side, covering your head firmly. It's almost the middle of the night, and I haven't seen Chu Die come back yet, Chai Xuan's double eyelids have been jumping, and she always feels that something is going to happen.
Looking at Lixiang and Xiaohe, who were already asleep, Chai Xuan sighed deeply, extinguished the candle and turned off the light, and moved back to the bed. Looking at the moonlight through the seams, I couldn't sleep for a long time. If it was Chu Die's vigil today, what would she not tell herself? Moreover, since Cao Pi was punished to Dali Temple, that face has hardly been happy. As soon as Cao Pi came back today, the person was gone, and I always felt a little strange.
Chai Xuan yawned fiercely, leaned over her body, and shook her slightly heavy head. There are too many strange things in Cao Pifu, and now he is actually beginning to suspect that Chu Die is abnormal, it seems that he must leave as soon as possible, otherwise he will be forced to become a suspicious psychotic all day long.
By the dim candlelight, Chu Die carefully looked at Cao Pi who was sleeping on his lap. The side face of the jade carving, the sword eyebrows of the ink spots, such a peerless son is not rare. Unconsciously raised his hand and swept over the well-defined cheeks, the trace of temperature transmitted from the palm of his hand, but Chu Die's tears seemed to find the open door valve, and one drop overflowed and fell.
When the lips that were about to be covered shouted the word "Chai Xuan" warmly like honey, Chu Die's whole heart was shattered into pieces. Just after a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Cao Pi fainted and fell asleep due to the surging of alcohol, and fell on Chu Die's legs impartially.
Transparent pearls poured out, breaking the placket of the chest into pieces of flowers. He looked down at the sleeping man with affection, raised his hand and gently wrapped it around the crook of his arm, his hot cheeks pressed against the slightly cold forehead. Even if this short period of warmth is only for a second, it is enough.
With his eyes closed, Chu Die gently dragged Cao Pi like this, trying to make him as comfortable as possible. Clear tears crossed the corners of the mouth, seeped into the corners of the mouth and melted into the tip of the tongue, the lips bloomed with a hint of smile, leisurely and slightly joyful, shallow and half haunting sadness.
Chai Xuan stretched her waist and did a week and a half of exercise around her neck, holding her old buddy and planning to continue to work. As soon as I entered the garden, I saw Cao Bao staring at the lake in a daze.
Chai Xuan dropped the water ladle and tiptoed towards the shadow. With two big paws, I'm going to scare someone. As soon as he approached his side, he heard Cao Bao say coldly: "I'm not in the mood, I don't want to mess with you." ”
With his arms ringed, he sat expressionlessly on a big rock next to the rockery. lowered her eyes, and the stunned expression made Chai Xuan's heart strange. The corners of her eyebrows were slightly slanted, and Chai Xuan half-shrunk her neck and asked cautiously, "Cao Bao, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable." Cao Bao still looked like he was very apprehensive, and replied lightly.
"Are you alright?" Chai Xuan half-pinched her chin and looked at Cao Bao with a frown. His eyes were blank, his eyes were slightly frustrated, and his face was bitter, as if he had something to say. With a turn of his eyes, he inexplicably thought of Chu Die's failure to return overnight, and asked casually: "Cao Bao, Chu Die didn't come overnight yesterday." I went to ask Aunt Feng early in the morning, and she said that last night was not Chu Die's vigil. Did you see her last night, and where did you go? ”
Chai Xuan shook a circle in front of Cao Bao half-inquiring, half-talking to herself, and sighed slightly. I thought that Cao Bao's appearance would not have any reaction. But he heard the person beside him, and replied in a stiff tone: "Chu Die was at Gongzi's place last night." ”
His eyes were shocked, a pair of peach blossom eyes were round, and his black grape-like eyes were completely exposed. Chai Xuan stared at Cao Bao's face as heavy as iron, and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. "Cao, Cao Bao, don't talk nonsense! How could this Chu Die be ...... with Cao Pi No, it can't be ......."
"How is it impossible, I saw Chu Die close the door and enter, and I personally guarded the door all night. But even at dawn and sunrise today, I didn't see her come out. Cao Bao suddenly stood up angrily, gritted his teeth and looked at Chai Xuan, his slender eyes flashing with faint tears. Chai Xuan, are you a fool? You are with her every day, can't you see that she likes Cao Pi! ”
Suddenly, Chai Xuan's whole body trembled, and he sat on the bluestone behind him in a daze like a frightened deer, completely unable to believe Cao Bao's words. "Cao Bao, is Chu Die and Cao Pi...... No...... Chu Die is not that kind of person, how could she follow Cao Pi like this! ”
"Hehehe......" Cao Bao suddenly let out a sneer from his throat, and Chai Xuan was cold from head to toe. Chai Xuan, how could it be! She's that kind of person! In order to curry favor with Cao Pi, she was willing to go undercover in the Prime Minister's Mansion. No wonder, no wonder you are so good to her, she is still willing to spy on you and betray you! Now it seems that she can even betray herself, let alone a person who has nothing to do with her! ”
Cao Bao's angry eyes were like two erupting volcanoes, not only burning his reason to the ground, but also burning Chai Xuan's entire heart. Chai Xuan's pale lips were stunned and said, "What did you say?" Betraying me, spying on me? ”
After venting, Cao Bao came back to his senses in an instant, "No, nothing." "I still want to make amends. can see Chai Xuan's expression, it is obvious that it is too late to remedy something.
Cao Bao's words were like a thousand firecrackers thrown into his mind, which blew up Chai Xuan's head blank. A heart seems to have been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, ready to suffer. The sorrow overflowing from the heart is like an infinitely spreading vineman, tying the heart and lungs, tightening the throat, only to feel that the chest cavity is very depressed.
"Cao Bao, you mean to say that Chu Die has always been Cao Pi's spy. Since the Prime Minister's Mansion, you haven't stopped monitoring me, right? ”
Cao Bao panicked and helped Chai Xuan, who was stumbling, and looked at someone with a face like earth in horror: "Chai Xuan, listen to me, it's actually ......"
Chai Xuan stared at Cao Bao with deep eyebrows, shaking her head in disbelief to interrupt Cao Bao. Looking at Cao Bao with tears in his eyes, he asked softly, "You just need to tell me if this is true!" ”
Cao Bao sighed helplessly, his brows tightened, and his chin sank a little. didn't know this, which shattered Chai Xuan's trust in Chu Die, and put all his wholehearted efforts for so long on the red cross. Silent and depressed, depressed and hesitant, Chai Xuan fell on the cold bluestone, unable to believe Cao Bao's words for a long time.
Chu Die, this friend who has nothing to say, is a sister who is determined by all his minds. It's actually the monitor that Cao Pi planted next to him! No wonder Cao Pi can always know his words and deeds, no wonder Chu Die has always given himself an indescribable sense of forbearance.
"Chai Xuan, you're okay. In fact, Chu Die, she was also forced to be helpless! Cao Bao comforted Chai Xuan apologetically, after all, he had promised Chu Die not to say it, but now he broke the contract.
With a slight movement in her throat, Chai Xuan seemed to have something to say. But he looked at Cao Bao's concerned eyes, but swallowed the words back into his stomach. With a calm face, he got up and left. Didn't reply, didn't say hello. She must now see Chu Die for the first time and listen to her every word she says to herself.
The breeze surrounds the hall and blows quiet and shallow dust. The hair is slightly messy, and the blue sky is far away. It's obviously a good weather with a bright sun, but this heart is faintly cold.
The lotus step was lightly lifted, and Chu Die Yingying walked in from outside the door. When I raised my eyes, I saw Chai Xuan looking out the window in a daze, slightly sentimental. "Sister Xuan, why are you here?"
"Chu Die, where did you go last night?" He asked in a calm tone.
Chu Die's eyes lowered, not daring to look at Chai Xuan's twisted eyes, and walked straight to the table. He replied, "Last night, I naturally kept a vigil for my wife. ”
"Really?" Looking back, he looked at Chu Die's weak eyes.
Don't look over, escape those sharp eyes again. "Sister Xuan, why do you suddenly ask that?"
Approaching step by step, Chai Xuan's eyes never left Chu Die's delicate face. When I met for the first time, I thought it was so cute and immature, but at this time, it was so deep and chilling. "I want to hear the truth."
The voice is deep, the heart is cold, how can you lie? The double shadow is true and false, a shallow mood is deep. I am most afraid that the infatuation will be the wrong payment, and it will be difficult for the cold bosom friend to be the same.
