Chapter 162: The Golden Lotus of the Earth

The man quickly tied up the broken arm with his sleeve, picked up the broken arm with a hideous face, and wanted to jump into the carriage, but suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Du Ruo.

Du Ruo happened to meet his bone-chilling gaze, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and it was as if he had fallen into hell for a moment.

The carriage moved forward, stopping directly below her.

The curtain opened, and a young man in a dark robe stretched out his head, holding the curtain in one hand, looked up at Du Ruo, smiled slightly, and asked, "But Mrs. Xiao?" ”

Du Ruo looked at him vigilantly, hesitated for a moment, and said to him, "I didn't see anything just now." ”

"Don't let the second person know?"

"No one but me knows, and I won't remember soon."

"That's very good." With that, he lowered the curtain.

When the carriage was far away, Du Ruo slowly took a few steps back, covered his mouth and retched a few times, his stomach churned, and he quickly squatted down and vomited all the food he had eaten in the morning.

The scene of the middle-aged man picking up the broken arm and picking it up lingered in her mind.

The two maidservants below heard that she seemed unwell and quickly ran up to see her.

Du Ruo couldn't eat a few bites at noon, and he still didn't want to eat much at night. The two maidservants persuaded her to eat more, and Du Ruo drank half a bowl of lotus seed soup.

It was raining lightly outside, and the autumn rain was cooling the day, and I am afraid that winter is not far away.

She picked up a few fallen leaves from the yard and wiped them clean and tucked them inside the book. He took out a few of Song Ju'an's clothes and looked at them, planning to make him a moon-white robe, which seemed to be good to embroider maple leaves with silver thread, just in time for the season.

Seeing that Ari was filling the incense burner, she also walked over and tinkered with it for a while. There is also a handkerchief has not been embroidered, she has nothing to do, before thinking of the current holy Buddha, Du Ruo suddenly had a whim, embroidered a few golden lotus in the middle, and embroidered the Buddha's heart seal swastika in the four corners.

She didn't believe in Buddhism before, but Song Ju'an believed that she was going to embroider it for him.

When the silk was finished, she brought a stool and put it beside the bed, on which she put a book, and she took off her shoes and climbed up on the bed, and put her head on the side of the bed to read.

It's raining outside, and it's a good time to read at this moment, but Song Ju'an is not there, and her heart has not been settled.

I don't know how long I watched it, Ah Qi stood at the door and said something, Du Ruo raised his head and saw Song Ju'an who walked into the house, "You're back?" She hurriedly got up and was about to get out of bed, but saw him coming this way.

"Have you eaten?" He asked, hugging her over to the bed.

Before Du Ruo returned, Ah Rui, who was standing at the door, said: "Madame has barely eaten anything for two meals in a row, and she vomited out all the food she ate in the morning. ”

Song Ju'an was taken aback, helped her up, and asked suspiciously, "Is your body uncomfortable?" Did you invite Langzhong? ”

"I'm fine, it's about the morning food that was too greasy." Du Ruo explained.

"But that's how Madame eats every day." Ah Qi hurriedly explained, afraid that Song Ju'an would blame them.

Song Ju'an turned his head to look at Du Ruo again, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, and even the obvious tiredness on his body was gone, he bent down and whispered in her ear, "Are you pregnant?" ”

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, blushed slightly, and shook his head, "No." ”

"How do you know it's not?" He rubbed his hand in her hair, and seemed a little displeased with her categorical answer, and then turned back to Ari, "Bring some more food, you can't stop eating." ”

Du Ruo sighed secretly in her heart, how could she not know, she vomited because she saw the scene of the broken arm outside the wall.

"Why don't I go and ask Lang Zhong from His Highness's Mansion to come here and check your pulse?"

"No need, I've just been on my menstrual period for five or six days, so how can I get pregnant." Du Ruo stopped him.

The excitement in his heart finally calmed down, sat on the edge of the bed and took the soup bowl brought by Ah Qi, touched it, it was still warm, and handed it to Du Ruo: "You drink some more." ”

Du Ruo took a few sips, and hurriedly asked him, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Well, I did." He nodded.

When she felt that she couldn't drink it anymore, she wanted to hand the bowl to Ah Rui, but she didn't expect to be picked up by Song Ju'an, and after drinking the soup, she put it on the tray and let people take it away.

Both of them changed their bedclothes and sat on the bed. Although it was still early, it was cloudy outside and looked like it was getting dark.

Du Ruo took out the embroidered silk and handed it to him, "I have nothing to do to embroider for you, may the Buddha and Bodhisattva in your heart bless you with peace and security, and everything goes well." ”

Song Ju'an unfolded it and looked at it carefully, then smiled and put the silk on his face, raised his head slightly and sniffed deeply, "What kind of incense did you smoke on this?" ”

"I didn't smoke any incense, maybe I fiddled with the incense burner for a while this afternoon, and it was Canaan incense." Du Ruo knelt behind him and rubbed his temples for him.

He turned around and buried himself on her and sniffed, "You smell the same on you." Then he wrapped the silk around his hand and held it up in front of his eyes, with a faint and peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I felt that the fragrance was a bit strong, and I could smell it when I pulled it out of my body, and I wanted to soak it in water with the petals to wash and dry." Du Ruo said, she reached out and took the comb on the dressing table to comb his hair.

Song Ju'an squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the silk in his hand thoughtfully.

While combing his hair, Du Ruo asked him with a little thought in his heart: "I will go up to the attic to sit for a while when I have nothing to do, pass the time, every day I can see a carriage passing by outside the wall, sometimes followed by a few guards, I wonder if it is the car of the Fifth Highness?" If there are five highnesses sitting above, and the main gate of his house is facing the street, but he is not out of the alley, he is curious to ask you. ”

"That's the car of the Fifth Highness." Song Ju'an said.

Du Ruoxin said, it seems that the man in Xuanyi in the car today is the Fifth Highness Yang Shao, he calls himself the palace, and the person who got off the car called him His Royal Highness.

"Why do you go off the rails every day? Passing through that alley? Du Ruoqi said.

"This is not the same as in the past, the situation is tense, and we have to guard against it." He said, "Every day, His Royal Highness sets out from the house, not only from the side gate, but also from the main gate, with two carriages at the same time, each facing both sides of the street, but the destination is the same. He would sit in either carriage and disrupt the assassin's line of sight. ”

"I see." Du Ruo was secretly surprised, "Then you must be careful!" ”

"I know." He raised his hand and touched her head.

"I'm going out for a walk tomorrow, and I'm going to suffocate to death in this yard every day!" She said to him angrily again.

"It's a mess out there, what are you doing out there? Don't go out. When things are done, you can go wherever you want. ”

Du Ruo put the comb on the table and looked at him complainingly, "I'm not your cat or dog, when will this be the end?" I knew I shouldn't have come with you, but I didn't worry about you being here by myself when I went back. ”

"Wait a few more days." He turned to her and said to her in a kind voice.

Du Ruo couldn't make any noise when she looked at his face, as if she had nothing to do, so she had to sulk by herself, lie down and pull the quilt over her body.

He let out a long sigh and lifted the covers and lay down next to her.

After a while, Du Ruo couldn't help but ask him, "How are you and the Fifth Highness planning here?" I heard Ah Qi say that the emperor's condition has worsened, and it seems that he will not last long. ”

"It's all bloody things, so I won't tell you." He said.

After speaking, he lifted the quilt on the two of them, turned over, stepped over her with one leg, knelt directly above her, looked at her and said softly: "I am more anxious than you in my heart." ”

He propped one hand on her head and untied the strap on the side of her shoulder with the other.

Du Ruo's fingertips tapped back and forth on the skin of his chest a few times, and the other hand hooked the loose bedclothes on his body, and the next moment he pressed up.

After a while, Du Ruo pillowed his arm and gasped, allowing his lips to leave a small kiss on his shoulder and neck.

He suddenly laughed and said to her, "There are also benefits to raising it." ”

"What's the benefit?" Du Ruo asked him lazily, and she gradually became a little sleepy.

"It's longer fleshy than a while ago, and it's delicate and soft." He said.

"......", are you fat? She didn't seem to feel much of it herself.

Looks like she really has to go out for a walk.

A few wolf howls came, and Du Ruo pulled the quilt on his head and grabbed Song Ju'an's hand, "How can there be so many wild wolves in Kyoto?" Could it be that a hole in the wall has collapsed and no one has noticed, and wild beasts have taken the opportunity to run in from outside? ”

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a thing is simply a big joke in the world!

"It won't be in a while." He said.

On the second day, Du Ruo still went up to the second floor of the attic after breakfast, secretly took a thick rope, and soon after the carriage passed, she took Ah Qi and Ah Rui down.

Quickly tying the rope to the post, she left a note on the table that she had already written, and then grabbed the rope with her hand and slid down. After standing firm, she threw the rope into the high wall, and when she returned, it was impossible for the people inside not to open the door for her!

After walking along the wide alley paved with bluestone slabs for a while, I finally came to the street.

She walked through the street a few times a few days before she first arrived, and she still knew a little way. I haven't come out for a while, everything looks good, and everything is strange.

Although Kyoto has been experiencing various unpeaceful events recently, it is still bustling during the day.

After wandering around for a while, she passed by a relatively large study, walked over and retreated.

After thinking about it, Du Ruo walked in, browsed at random, and asked the guy: "Is there a book that Zheng Bin, the prime minister of the Dayong Dynasty, has the right to color?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The guy hurriedly ran to the other side, tiptoed down seven or eight books from the bookshelf, and handed them to her.

"Why are there so many?" Du Ruo was taken aback, and the book covers were also different.

"That's not a lot! There are more than a dozen versions of this story! There is also Zheng Bin's shemale love! Ghost love! Less in, sold out! "Dude.

Du Ruo: "......"

It seems that what Qin Rui said is not an exaggeration at all.

She flipped through it, picked out a slightly more normal one, paid the money, and walked out of the study.
