Chapter 289: Secret Path
After closing the words, another dark shadow flashed, the fire candle in the room dimmed a little, and Xuanyuan Chen, who was dressed in black, "swished ......" and came out, and the cat's waist was close, and he jumped directly on the couch and hugged me.
"Little girl, I miss you to death."
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly approached and I kissed him the lips.
"Little girl, you are so fragrant."
Xuanyuan Chen sniffed between my hair, pecked my ear gently, and encircled me with his long strong arms......
The night breeze blew in through the cracks in the windows, the candles shook violently, the lights swirled, and the curtains on the side of the couch spread out......
I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss him very much, his kiss is hot, and in the faint fragrance of violet flowers, my will gradually indulges, and my arm unconsciously hooks his neck and begins to kiss back fiery......
"Dangdangdang...... Lord, you're asleep. ”
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the abrupt voice completely pulled the person back from the illusion, and I quickly dodged away, my heart pounding like a child who had done something wrong.
"Ahem, come in." I answered, folding the curtain on the side of the couch tightly, and Xuanyuan Chen stepped back a little more cooperatively, hiding in the dark corner.
Knowing that I am a leprosy, the house has added two layers of curtains on the side of my couch, and the candle flame in the house is slightly dim, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see the situation on the couch.
"Squeak ......", the door opened, and there was a shallow footstep stop two meters away from the couch, and Qingteng's voice was about to come, "County Lord, it's time to drink medicine." ”
"Well, put it on the table, ahem......" I coughed twice.
Qingteng hesitated for a while, and said lightly, "County Lord, you are not in good health, the slave maid will serve you to drink medicine, the slave maid is not afraid to turn over, if Sister Luzhu is here, she will also serve the county lord to take medicine." ”
I sighed.
This is a fake disease, whether it is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor or the Jianghu artist, I have never taken it, and I always ask people to put the medicine on the table, and secretly spill it when they leave.
In the spring, the wind is strong, and the hospital will sprinkle the medicine once every hour, and no one will find out about the pouring of medicine.
This Qingteng has also followed me since I was a child, and the little girl is also smart, but I always feel that I am not as intimate as Luzhu, so I hid her from her.
I sighed, "Let's put the medicine there, this medicine has become more and more bitter recently, I want to eat rock sugar hibiscus soup, you go cook some." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Qing Teng answered, turned around and went out, closing the door by the way.
When her footsteps were far away, I opened the curtain, went to the table and picked up the lotus porcelain bowl, stared at the window and saw that there was no one, and sprinkled water out of the window.
Xuanyuan Chen hugged his shoulders and stood beside him and watched, and said, "Little girl, when are you going to take the remaining half of the pill." ”
There is a layer of residual stains left at the bottom of the bowl, which seems to be different from the past, I approached the medicine bowl and sniffed it lightly, there seems to be a shallow aftertaste, I am afraid that I am talking about bitterness all day long, and the imperial hospital has changed the prescription.
I put it back on the table and said, "I have to wait a few days, I'm afraid I'm sick and it's already suspicious, it's too fast, I'm afraid it's suspicious." ”
He smiled and said, "Now, I guess no one will pay attention to your situation." Now, this is what Qiu Jin asked me to hand you. ”
He handed me a folded envelope, and I took it and sat down at the table, baked it with fire paint, and opened it one by one.
These are the news from the Red Pavilion and the letters from all sides, but in just a few days, the situation outside is a lot more complicated.
Xuanyuan Chen is right, but now, no one cares about me.
Helian Yunnuma ascended the throne, and King Pan from all over the country came to congratulate.
Now it has been half a month, but those Pan Wang did not have the slightest intention of leaving, a few days ago as soon as the curfew was lifted, a few people gathered with the Red Pavilion and other places, drinking and having fun, although the words are cautious, but occasionally can reveal the words "hoarding soldiers", "everyone is looking forward to returning" and so on. It seems a little uneasy......
Everything was fine on the border side, after getting grain and grass, the army was invincible, and after a short repair, it captured another city in southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop. Tuoba Hong was ruined again and again, and he drank too much, and the next morning he got the problem of vomiting blood.
After some research, the Khan King of Southern Xinjiang asked Tuoba Qing to come to Xiqi in the name of congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne.
The queen mother's side, in the name of the inheritance of the heirs, a piece of paper, responsible for the six grades or more, the family has not been out of the cabinet of the school-age women into the palace draft, Helian Yunnuma learned that at this time after going to the tower theory, the queen mother coughed angrily, and got up in the middle of the night.
This matter has spread widely among well-intentioned people, and everyone is talking about the unfilial piety of the new emperor......
On Dongmu's side, Baili Tianqi also had a move, he sent a large number of people to store grain and grass, and set up a conscription order to recruit soldiers, most of the letters I put next to him were pulled out, I can't grasp his exact movements, but I know that he is going to make a move......
After reading the pages of the letter one by one, I shook the letter slightly, and with a "...... swoop", the pages ignited a flame and instantly turned into ashes.
King Pan, draft, rumors of unfilial piety, Tuoba Qing came to Beijing, and Baili Tianqi conscripted......
A lot of things don't seem to be related, but for some reason, I always feel that there are some strands of thread pulling in the dark, as if there is a big hand at the mercy of something.
"Dangdangdang...... County Lord, the sugar water is ready. The voice of Qingteng came from the door, Xuanyuan Chen stepped a little, flashed over the beam, I coughed twice, and said shallowly, "Come in." ”
"Yes."
Qing Teng answered, pushed the door in, saw me sitting at the table, something flashed in his eyes, bowed his head and walked lightly, put a porcelain cup next to him, and brought a small bowl of soup with a small spoon, "County Lord, it's just the right temperature, you can taste it." ”
"Hmm." I took the sugar water, tasted it twice, and saw that she was reaching for the empty medicine bowl, and the candle flame flickered, and her wrist flickered, and something faint flashed.
Well?
I was suspicious, and when I looked at it, I found that it was a jadeite with excellent color, which was dark green and moistened thoroughly, and it was difficult to see it on the market.
I treat the people around me well, in addition to the moon service, every festival is indispensable for their food and clothing, but this jade bracelet, how to say it is also worth a thousand taels. This Qingteng has always been thrifty, how could he be willing to buy such valuable jewelry?
I ate some sugar water again, and said with a fake cough, "Today's medicine seems to be less bitter than in the past, but the prescription has been changed?" ”
"Back to the county lord, the imperial doctor said that the county lord is about to get better, and he will replace the two medicines." Qing Teng replied in a shallow voice, but his hand consciously shrank into the mouth of his wide-sleeved shirt.
I put the little pot down, "I've eaten, I want to rest, you can go down." ”
"Yes." She answered, put the cup away, and after bowing, she went out the door.
She walked very lightly, every step was very polite, and when she closed the door, she seemed to deliberately slow down her movements, for fear of disturbing me.
The candle flame flickered, and I smiled slightly.
I don't blame Chu Qi, she is just a confused woman tired of love, but I hate the deliberate betrayal of the people around me.
Xuanyuan Chen fell off the beam, glanced at the direction of the door, sat down and asked me, "But what's wrong?" ”
I shook my head, turned around and went to the study to pick up the pen and ink, brushed and wrote a few words, folded it and handed it to him, "Brother Chen, hand this to Qiu Jin for me, and let her check it as soon as possible." ”
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, stuffed the page into his sleeve, I thought about it, looked through it, and saw that there was no one around, so I opened the gap in the window, picked a leaf stained with medicine and handed it to him, "Help me see, is there anything wrong with this leaf?" ”
His expression froze, he put the leaf on the tip of his nose and sniffed it twice, shook his head and said, "The smell of the medicinal juice has been blown away, and I can't see anything abnormal." If you are afraid of anything, leave some potion in a vial tomorrow, and I will know when I come in the evening. ”
"It's fine." I nodded, glanced at the green bricks on the ground, and said with a smile, "You really have a way, you can even think of such a way as a secret path." ”
Xuanyuan Chen curled his lips and smiled, stepped forward and hugged me from behind, "It's too rushed, the dark passage is also rough, and after waiting for two days, we can go out to breathe from here." You have been in the house for a long time, and the flowers in the mountains have bloomed. ”
yes, the flowers are blooming outside.
In the past, I always liked to dance a sword under a blooming flower tree, but I haven't danced a sword for a long time......
Also, at this time last year, it was the time when the nineteenth princess got married, which is fast, and she has been dead for a year......
By the way, there is also Liu Rong'er, she has been married for more than half a year, and there has been no news, and I don't know what happened......
I sighed slightly, and suddenly remembered my birthday when I was ten years old.
At that time, everyone was there, which was great......
Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, pulled my hand and kissed it lightly, "Little girl, you have something on your mind, why are you suddenly worried." ”
I smiled lightly, "No." ”
He didn't tear it down, kissed me on the cheek, and hugged me quietly.
I suddenly remembered something, and asked, "That day, your father and queen mother ran away, and then you found a trace again?" ”
He chuckled, "When I woke up that day, it was a few hours later, and the two of them had already disappeared without a trace, what's the matter, little girl, do you miss them?" If you want to, I'll think of ideas, and maybe I'll find them. ”
My face burned, "No." ”
He laughed, picked me up by the waist, gently put me back on the couch, extinguished the candle flame with his palm, and turned around and came up.
"It's late at night, go to sleep." He covered the thin quilt with the horns and put his arms around me.
I narrowed my eyes and wanted to ask Donghu if the news came, but I saw that he had closed his eyes, his nose moved slightly, his breathing was very steady, and he was asleep.
In the past few days, he has been tired.
My heart softened, and I leaned closer, leaning on him and closing my eyes. After a while, it was also a solid sleep.
The next morning, when I woke up, Xuanyuan Chen had already left, and the brocade civet placed on the bookshelf was held by him next to the pillow, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the big light blue eyes of the little brocade civet.
I picked up the little thing and poked it lightly at the glass wall, and it suddenly burst into joy and kept jumping in the ball. I got up and went to the bookshelf, and the other civet looked up lazily, glanced at me, and then lay down and went back to sleep.
I smiled, took out the bottle of snow dew, and first dropped some of the koi fish in the bottle, and then poured the rest onto the small plate next to the bookshelf.
The brocade civet who had been sleeping seemed to smell the smell, got up and jumped to the small plate, and drank greedily.
"Squeak......" The civet in the bottle screamed, stretched out its small claws like snow balls, and kept poking at the glass wall, as if it was summoning.
It's been a few months since I left, and the civet outside the ball is actually by this side.
I didn't feel like I was not trapped in the house, but now I feel a little uncomfortable looking at two small things in one ball and one outside the ball.
After thinking about it, I finally slid down the ink and slid lightly on the ball.
"Click......
The glass ball shattered into two pieces in an instant. I took half of it away, and the little thing in the ball didn't seem to believe it, so I stretched out my little paw and poked forward, but there was nothing to cover, and I jumped directly onto the roof.
Like a bird in a cage, it jumped to the couch, to the windowsill, and to my floor......
The other one was also excited, and followed it back and forth, left and right, and finally both of them drilled out of the crack in the window......
These two little things, just ran away.
Isn't this called double residence and double flying......
I would smile heartily, look at the position of the blue brick under the window, walk over and stomp twice with my foot, but there was no response at all, and I tried to pull it with my hand, but I couldn't pull it.
Xuanyuan Chen's secret path is quite rigorous......
"Dangdangdang...... County Lord, are you awake? The slave has sent you breakfast. ”
"Come in." Pulling the ink back into my sleeve, I turned and sat back down at the table.
Qing Tengmeng came in with a tray, put the porridge and side dishes away, and handed the lotus porcelain medicine bowl over, "County Lord, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
