Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Moon Shines on the Ditch
The sun was born, and the wisps of light entered the house, and there was finally a little bit of starry light in the dark room.
Xue Lingyun, who was holding two panda eyes, was pulling the last few pieces of fabric while napping. A pair of jade hands were strangled by thin threads, and there were even a few blood stains.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." Cao Shu's voice came from outside the door, which frightened Xue Lingyun and suddenly fell asleep.
If Cao Pi woke up and saw that he hadn't finished it, would he kill himself? Thinking of this, Xue Lingyun trembled all over, grabbed the things in his hand calmly, hesitated too hard, stabbed, and a bloody mouth was strangled from the tiger's mouth on his fingertips. Xue's willow eyebrows tightened, and tears filled his eyes.
"Alright, you'll have a good night's sleep here when I'm gone." The sharp gaze swept over the messy ball of thread, and the sword eyebrows tightened slightly.
Cao Pi sat up with his clothes neat and walked towards the teary-eyed Xue Lingyun. Pinch your fingers lightly and hook your delicate chin. The eyes are swollen with dark circles, and the cat-like face is slightly yellow. It's only been one night, and yesterday's radiant beauty is like a refugee.
"Listen, tonight's matter, if you say half a word, you won't be able to get out of the Changqiu Palace." I want to take advantage of the steps of the Changqiu Palace to soar, but it's a pity that the place is not easy to get in and out.
Cao Pi looked at the woman in front of him coldly, without a trace of nostalgia and pity in his eyes. On the contrary, it is like looking at a worthless thing, and even a little disgusted.
"Huh......" Xue Lingyun shook her jaw and cried with fear.
She didn't expect Cao Pi to be really so terrible, her eyes were still so gentle yesterday, and she could be cold overnight.
The door opened lightly, and Cao Pizi, who was like Laneige, walked out of the door. Cao Shu hurriedly stepped forward and glanced into the door. This is the first time in several months that Cao Pi has spent the night in the palace outside the Changxuan Palace and the Xuanzheng Palace. He was very curious about what kind of face the woman who could keep Cao Pi looked like.
"Xue Shi is unwell, let her take a good rest, and tell her to go down, if she doesn't come out, no one is allowed to disturb her." Cao Pi said in a deep voice. It sounded like he was concerned about Xue's physical condition, but the hard tone made Cao Shu feel a little strange.
"Whoa." Cao Shu leaned over, and when he looked at the door again, the two little girls who had been guarding the door had closed. I think they also heard Cao Pi's orders.
sent Cao Pi away, Xue Lingyun's whole person was not good. I got up from the ground weakly, and moved to the edge of the couch like a snail with my sore and numb knees, and sat down with great difficulty.
Raising his hand to look at the deep and shallow strangulation marks, a pair of green smoke-like curved willow eyebrows suddenly hung full of melancholy, pushed out all the grievances in a long breath, turned over, and fell heavily on the bed.
For the Xue family at this time, the best place is this bed. is the only place to comfort her heart that has been tortured all night.
Xue Lingyun, who was holding the quilt, sobbed bitterly twice. Xu was too sleepy, and fell asleep after a while, but I was afraid that there would be no desire to wake up for a while.
*
Chai Xuan, who was lying on the bed, stared at the ceiling with round eyes, counted the last rooster crow, and sat up from the bed with a snort. Looking at a large empty place on his side, the two eyebrows couldn't help but tighten.
I woke up so early?
Chai Xuan rolled her eyes and looked at the whitened window with a dejected expression, presumably Cao Pi had already gone to the early court at this time. It's no wonder that he got up so early, and at this time, it was the time when Cao Shu shouted to urge Cao Pi to get up.
Getting out of bed, Chai Xuan hooked her two shoes indiscriminately, drooped her two arms, and moved to the vanity mirror like Tarzan, looking at herself in the mirror in a daze.
"Your honor, you're awake." Xiao Man came in from outside the door with toiletries, and usually, Xiao Man also came at this time.
Chai Xuan held her eyes and watched Xiao Man float from one end of the room to the other, pouting helplessly. Unexpectedly, the biological clocks of their master and servant are so consistent.
The listless Chai Xuan lay on the table again, pouting at the goldfish mouth and not knowing what to do, looking at the snowflake hosta inserted on the side in a daze.
Looking at the wilting Chai Xuan, Xiao Man was a little strange, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
"No, but I just can't lift my spirits." Chai Xuan twisted her chin and pouted, "Xiaoman, is there anything new recently?" "I've been studying the tune of the piano for the past few days, and I haven't been able to go out and have fun.
Hearing Chai Xuan say that he was going out, Xiao Man immediately raised his spirit. If Chai Xuan went out, he would definitely hear about Cao Pi's pampering of the Xue family last night, wouldn't it be even worse.
"How can there be, what has been in this palace for decades, even if there is, it will only be an old thing."
Xiao Man's eyes narrowed, trying not to let Chai Xuan find out about her abnormality. picked up the comb next to him and sorted out Chai Xuan's unkempt hair.
Chai Xuan tensed her head and let Xiao Man slide the comb from the top of her head to the tips of her hair, but she was thinking about how to relieve the irritability in her heart.
"Xiaoman, do you have a pimple on your forehead?" Chai Xuan, who had sharp eyes, glanced at it sharply, and found a small red bump hidden under Xiao Man's hair.
Xiao Man pulled his hair twice in a panic, and covered the little red dot tightly at one time, "Noble." You're looking so good, aren't you? ”
This acne is normal for ordinary people. But for the palace maids and concubines, it is a big deal.
If the subordinate has acne, he has to avoid some masters, so as not to affect the mood of the master. But if the concubines have acne, they have to use all the beauty and hair things in the world. Once you have a pimple that ruins your face, it's really the end of the day.
However, Chai Xuan seems to have not been bothered for a long time. I've been following her for so long, and I've never seen her worry about these trivial matters.
Staring at the covered acne on Xiaoman's forehead, Chai Xuan suddenly remembered something, and mysteriously yelled at Xiaoman Nunu, "Xiaoman, do you want to put on a mask?" ”
"Face mask, what's that?" Xiaoman crooked his neck, curious like a kitten.
I only heard Chai Xuan laughing, and the smile was so small that her back was cold. Before Xiaoman could react, he was dragged out of the door by Chai Xuan for a long time.
"Your lord, your hair hasn't been combed yet." Xiao Man looked at Chai Xuan's wind-like back with a frightened face, and the corners of his mouth were about to be blown to the back of his head by the wind.
Chai Xuan was stunned and pulled Xiaoman out of the house. "What's the head, whatever!"
Xiao Man watched completely helplessly as Chai Xuan coiled her hair in a bun with a hosta, and half of the green silk lay smoothly behind her, although Chai Xuan looked casual, she added a bit of natural beauty.
"Hey, noble, why are you going?" Xiao Man, who was pulling his throat, had not finished spitting out his words, and the person had already been dragged out of Changxuan Palace by Chai Xuan.
Xiao Man was dragged by Chai Xuan without tears, and his heart was full of bitterness: My nobleman, can't you consider changing the problem of saying that the wind is the rain, my arm......
In other words, Xue Lingyun was tortured all night, and Cao Pi didn't get much better this night. As long as he noticed that there was no Chai Xuan around, his body couldn't help but be nervous. In addition, there was a Xue Lingyun by his side who was concentrating on tearing the cloth, and he couldn't sleep peacefully at all.
I wanted to teach her to stop, but I was afraid that she would get a gap and rub against herself like Fang Cai. Therefore, Cao Pi was also half-asleep and half-awake all night, and did not sleep for a few minutes.
Above the main hall, the courtiers who started playing one after another, but Cao Pi's eyelids were one after another. Not only Cao Shu was surprised to see it, but even the ministers were also surprised. Cao Pi, who has always attached importance to government affairs, how can he still fall asleep?
Finally finished listening to the last minister's recital, Cao Pi squinted his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief. With the support of Cao Shu, he quickly withdrew from the dull court.
"Your Majesty, where are you going to have breakfast?" Cao Shu helped Cao Pi, who was in a trance, for fear that he would fall to the ground in a drowsy manner.
Cao Pi calmed his mind and tried his best to stay sober and said, "Go to Changxuan Palace." "It doesn't matter if he eats or not, what he needs now is to catch up on some sleep.

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true......" Chai Xuan was sniffing the flowers while humming the tune, and she shuttled among the flowers with her hands behind her back.
Plain clothes and light yarn, green silk beauty, Chai Xuan at this time is elegant and fresh, like a little elf lingering in the flowers, playful and cute.
"What are you going to do, noble?"
Xiao Man followed Chai Xuan, who was scurrying around and taking a closer look, listening to the strange and interesting tune. Unexpectedly, Chai Xuan was in such a good mood when she came out.
"Picking flowers!"
Chai Xuan was faintly happy, squeezing out a big smile at Xiaoman, which was even brighter than the sunshine in the sky.
"Picking flowers?"
In a word, Xiao Man was even more depressed, he didn't take anything out to pick flowers, could it be that Chai Xuan wanted to let himself hold it for a while? The point is, these roses are all thorny, Chai Xuan is not joking.
"Do you want to take a bath, noble?" Xiaoman asked.
Generally, when you pick flowers, you do it for bathing. But every day, there will be a little palace maid who comes to pick it specially, but what is Chai Xuan doing when she runs out early in the morning, and she still looks like this.
"I don't have that much time to take a bath. I'm looking for some flowers to make a mask. Chai Xuan raised her chin triumphantly, looking like a skilled craftsman.
Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but sigh, I was afraid that Chai Xuan would want to do something to make him stunned. Sure enough, as long as Chai Xuan is free, there must be nothing calm.
Seeing Xiao Man's dejected appearance, Chai Xuan raised her hand and patted Xiao Man's shoulder, "Hey, I'm here to cure the acne on your head, why do you look like this?" ”
Xiao Man suddenly became interested, and looked at Chai Xuan with blank eyes. "Pimples? Noble, do you mean, that mask can cure acne? ”
"Of course!"
Chai Xuan swept her nose with great confidence and swore a promise.
But this expression made Xiaoman's excitement disappear most of it suddenly. According to the past practice, whenever Chai Xuan said this, the hope was not very great.
