Chapter 023: Duchen keeps vigil for Xueqin
It turned out that the queen of heaven asked the moon god to leave Zhu to arrange the cloud palace for Xue Qin to live in, so Li Zhu would appear in the cloud palace, and Xue Qin was moved after learning the reason.
By the end of the night, Li Zhu had already gone to duty, and Duchen had already returned to his Chengjian Palace, and only Xue Qin's shadow accompanied her in the huge Cloud Palace.
Xue Qin walked back and forth in the Sending Cloud Palace, she never expected that there would be such a day, she would live in such a big house, this Sending Cloud Palace is big enough to accommodate herself, Aunt Sakura's family, Bei Ze, Si Ye, Duchen and Lizhu, but now she is the only one herself, if everyone lives together, it would be great.
She walked around, she was tired, thinking that there were no outsiders anyway, so she simply jumped and lay down directly under the plum forest, the grass behind her was soft, the moon shadow was hazy, the wind blew the plum shadow, the green calyx was spitting, and the light fragrance was in her heart, and she felt very comfortable.
Such a good night, but unfortunately no one to enjoy it, she suddenly missed Beize a little, in the past, Beize had to give herself any good things, and she had to take herself to see any good scenery, but she insisted on going to heaven, against his will, and I don't know how long he will be angry with himself? Beize, Beize, are you still angry with me?
She took out the water cushkite that Bei Ze gave her and kept playing with it, the water calamite refracted a faint blue light under the moonlight, and then looked carefully, she seemed to see a woman walking towards her, the woman seemed to be followed by the water monster behind her, I don't know why, the woman in front of her gave her a very familiar and warm feeling, she wanted to get closer to the woman, but no matter how hard she tried, there was a dark cloud river that could not be crossed between herself and the woman.
When Si Ye arrived at the Sending Cloud Palace, it was already on the willow tops, he heard that Xue Qin lived in the Sending Cloud Palace, so he wanted to come and see her, but as soon as he landed, he saw Xue Qin lying under the plum tree, the petals fell on her temples and clothes, but she didn't notice it at all, he approached her, but found that she seemed to be sobbing, and there were clear tear stains on her face, as if she was in a nightmare, he just wanted to wake her up, but heard someone calling "Xue Qin", he got up vigilantly, and immediately turned into a light and disappeared.
Duchen walked into the plum forest and brushed the plum branches, but found that Xue Qin was lying under the plum tree, holding a jade pendant in his hand, his face was full of tears, he gently pushed her, Xue Qin Fang woke up, she didn't know why she was so sad, and she couldn't help but sobbed when she woke up.
Duchen took her into his arms, patted her back gently, and asked softly:
"How do you sleep here? Have nightmares?"
Xue Qin just shook her head, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but the woman in the dream gave her an indescribable sadness, Du Chen gently picked her up, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, this posture was somewhat ambiguous, if it was before, she would definitely blush and even jump up, but today, she didn't feel anything except sadness.
Duchen carried her back to the room, gently crossed the threshold, and went straight to the jade bed, when he leaned over and put her down, he only felt his heart beating hard, and the two of them were very close, so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing, he suppressed his heart and gently put her down, pulled her across the cloud quilt and covered her and gently pinched the corners of the quilt, then got up, turned his back, and said softly:
"You have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow. ”
Xue Qin didn't respond, and when Duchen looked back at her, she was already sleeping on her side, and he felt distressed for the first time, and his eyes were full of pity.
He couldn't rest assured of her, and only gently closed the door after going out, and then sat directly on the steps, the night was as cold as water, and he was alone with the moon, he guarded her, and he kept it all night.
The next day, Xue Qin woke up, only felt a slight headache, pushed the window to see, it was very clear, and thought that he had overslept again.
She hurriedly finished washing, opened it and found that Li Zhu was standing outside the door, still holding a plate of stuffed spring cakes in her hand, and when she saw her come out, she said:
"Are you awake? I met Duchen in the morning, and he said that you haven't woken up yet, so let me go to his place and bring you some stuffed spring cakes, saying that you like to eat them. ”
"Huh?"
Li Zhu stepped directly into the hall with his legs, put the stuffed spring cake on the table, and then asked:
"What's the situation with your cousin? I heard that he didn't come back last night, so he couldn't be staying with you?"
Xue Qin rolled her eyes at her, then shook her head and said:
"What do you think about all day?"
Xue Qin just vaguely remembered that Du Chen carried her back to the room, but she clearly remembered that he left after carrying her back to the room, but in the face of Lizhu, she really didn't dare to say that Du Chen carried her back, otherwise, she didn't know how many breathtaking wonders this talented girl could conjure.
Duchen went to Zixiao Palace early in the morning, and the queen of heaven was pruning the plum branches in the vase, and when she saw him come in, she looked tired and asked:
"I heard that the fairy maid said that you didn't go back to Chengjian Palace last night, where did you go?"
"Last time, my father ordered my sons to investigate Hebo thoroughly, and my sons went to the mortal world last night. ”
"In the future, this kind of thing will be left to Wind and Shadow as much as possible!"
The queen of heaven knew that he went to the Fuyun Palace last night, but she didn't expect that Duchen, who had always been honest, would also lie, and he didn't blink his eyes when he lied, this kid also knew what was going on in her heart, and she didn't pick it up, so she let him go, but if she knew that her baby son was not lying on the bed in the Fuyun Palace last night, but sat outside the door and guarded all night, she didn't know how she would feel.
"By the way, Queen Mother, have you ever heard of the Xi Clan at the bottom of the West Sea?"
"The Tide Clan?"
"Well, Xue Qin said that she is a member of the Xi tribe and lives in the Xi Palace, and their tribe lives at the bottom of the West Sea, and I don't know if the queen mother knows this group. ”
The Queen of Heaven has been in charge of the sea for many years, and has never heard of such a group, she was puzzled, so she put down the scissors in her hand and said to Duchen:
"Si Hai has been in the sea for many years, the mother goddess has never heard of or found such a group, you come with me. ”
Bypassing the screen, what catches your eye is the invisible phantom mirror hanging on the shelf, the left index finger and middle finger of the queen of heaven are two fingers together, and then a finger to the invisible illusion, suddenly the invisible illusion begins to become tangible and colorful, you can clearly hear the sound of the waves, the mirror appears in the south, south, north, west and four seas of the sea, the queen of heaven pointed to a palace in the sea on the left and said:
"This is the West Sea, as far as I know, except for the Qinglong clan, there is no collateral in the West Sea, Xue Qin can weave cloud brocade, and it is not a shrimp soldier and crab general. And the immortal lineage will have a detailed registration and be included in the "Immortal Book Record". This phantom sea mirror was created by my father, and it took tens of thousands of years to tinker with it, just to include all the terrain and everything in the sea, so that it is convenient for future generations to take care of, and it is impossible to make mistakes. There is no record of Xue Qin in the "Immortal Book Record", and there is no Xi clan mentioned by Xue Qin in the Phantom Sea Mirror, Xue Qin, will she lie?"
Du Chen shook his head and said:
"From what I know about her, she shouldn't lie. It is possible that Xue Qin is not even very clear about his life experience, please give her son some more time, and her son will investigate this matter clearly. ”
Duchen arched his hand and took his leave. Queen Zhaobi just couldn't rest assured in her heart, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she was really afraid that Duchen would fall into it, so it seemed that she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing to let Xue Qin go to heaven to come to Si Yun, she just felt uneasy, and always felt that everything was not as simple as she imagined.
