Chapter 8: The Race for the Deer (1)
I am depressed, I don't know if it's because the residual poison has not been cleared, or because the plan has failed, or because of the unforeseeable and helpless future...... Anyway, since that day, I can't keep up my spirits, and my diet has been reduced.
When Bao Yuan saw me like this, he was anxious, and repeatedly called Liluo to treat me, but every time I saw him, my heart became even more uncomfortable, for what? I really can't tell.
On this day, Liluo was ordered to ask for a pulse. I sat there quietly, as if I had a big ball of cotton stuffed in my chest, and it was very clogged.
After checking his pulse as usual, he packed up his utensils and whispered to me: "Niangniang, but you are still thinking about going against the sky?" ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and looked up at him, but I didn't expect to meet his eyes, and in his eyes, I seemed to have suddenly become a glass man with a transparent heart. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything.
He retracted his gaze, turned to Ming'er on the side, and said, "Miss Ming, I'm sorry for you to go and guard outside the door, and I have a few important words to say to Niangniang." ”
Ming'er was stunned for a moment, looking at me hesitantly. I smiled slightly and said lightly: "I've been in a depressed mood recently, and I have to ask Mr. Li for some things I don't understand, Ming'er, you can avoid it first!" ”
Ming'er thought about it, nodded obediently, served tea to the two of us, and quietly withdrew from the tent.
He sat down and took tea from Luo'an, and his focused expression became mysterious in the steam. I looked at the man in front of me, and I was very uneasy, what did he want to say to me?!
"Li......" Before I could say anything, I saw Liluo put down the teacup and said slowly: "Niangniang, let's go back to the palace in a few days!" ”
"What?"
"When the emperor returns to the camp, Niangniang will ask for a decree to return to the palace!"
But ...... "I was unwilling to go back like this." What a fateful relationship Zhao Kuangyin has with the Shu Kingdom, no one knows better than me in this time and space. In the past, there was no chance, but now he is nearby, if he misses it, then I don't know when I will have another chance.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Niangniang still left with the emperor to go back to the palace early." He looked at me deeply, and the look in his eyes was stressful, as if he was immediately asking me to say yes to leave.
I was inexplicably flustered in my heart, avoided his gaze, and said in a low voice: "When I leave, it's not up to me to be the master, everything depends on the emperor's will." ”
"You still want to date that Zhao Kuangyin again?" Liluo looked at me with deep eyes, as if he could see everything.
I fixed my mind, stubbornly met his gaze, and said frankly: "This person will affect the lifeblood of my Great Shu national fortune in the future, even if I can't get rid of him, I have to find a way to get him out of the Zhou army." ”
The corner of his lips suddenly had a slight smile, and that smile made me feel as if I had just told a joke, and I only heard Liluo say indifferently: "If you go against the sky, there will be disasters, so it is better to live in peace." This is a light word, but it makes people even more upset and distraught? What plague?
I was ashamed and anxious, and my voice became rapid: "You, what do you mean by that, do you know something?" ”
His gaze deepened and deepened, and he said slowly for a while: "When I saw Zhao Kuangyin for the first time that day, it was convenient for him to see that he was extraordinary, and the fate of this person and Niangniang was also extraordinary. ”
Heh, the future Song Taizu is naturally not an ordinary person, but what fate does he have with me, it's really ridiculous! I sneered in my heart, in the memory that has long been a little vague in the years, what else can there be between Mrs. Hua Rui and Song Taizu except the relationship between the concubine and the new lord of the world? However, there are still some wild histories and fragmentary legends that cannot be verified.
"Niangniang......" Liluo's soft call pulled my thoughts back from the distant future to the present.
I settled down and said, "This time the Zhou army invaded the territory, and the emperor was worried day and night. I heard that this Zhao Kuangyin is Chai Rong's most relied on general, this person is resourceful, brave and good at fighting. If we don't take this opportunity, then he will become a fierce enemy of my Shu Kingdom in the future. ”
"Niangniang's heart is about the emperor and the people of Shu, and Weichen admires your intentions very much. It's just that now is not a good time, and if the mother and the emperor delay here any longer, I'm afraid that there will be more accidents. The more he spoke, the more mysterious it became, and my brow tightened.
"Did you get any news when you said that, sir?"
"Recently, I also occasionally accompanied the emperor to patrol around, the two armies of Zhou and Shu have been facing each other for a long time, and the Zhou army seems to have no intention of retreating, and the emperor seems to have the intention of fighting to the end. It's just that this time the emperor is coming in a small service, if he is accidentally detected by the enemy, then I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, and besides, Zhao Kuangyin is not an unwise person, he will be able to guess the emperor's whereabouts when he sees you here, so Niangniang still needs to leave this place with the emperor as soon as possible. ”
Is that really the case? I knew that Liluo had some point, but his expression seemed to imply something else, but I couldn't figure it out right now.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xu Luo continued: "Besides, Niangniang has been here with the emperor for more than half a month, if you don't go back, there may be something wrong in the palace......"
Liluo's words woke up the dreamer, yes, I forgot everything. This time I came secretly with Baoyuan to patrol the border, but now it is more than half a month, if I don't go back, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are worried not to say, and it is not trivial for the Queen Mother to know, let alone those concubines in the harem who are good things!
In addition to Bao Yuan's safety, I actually forgot that the stability of the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty, thinking of this, I can no longer care about the incomprehensible look behind Liluo's eyes, and I only hope that Bao Yuan will come back soon, so I can persuade him to leave safely as soon as possible.
After leaving Luo, I told Ming'er to pack her bags, and I also helped on the side. In the midst of the busyness, suddenly a figure loomed outside my tent, and I was suspicious, and I was about to get closer to check, but I saw a wax pill rolling into the tent.
Suddenly I saw the wax pill, and before I could think about it, I rushed forward and raised my hand to wave the curtain of the tent, and there were no strangers outside the tent except for the Yulin Guard, who was guarding ten steps away. Who is it? Who delivered the message?
Leaned over and picked up the wax pill, and there was indeed a note inside, with a line of delicate small words, "Ugly at two o'clock, please see it outside the tent." ”
Who is it? Zhao Kuangyin? Or Zhang Jizhao? When ugly, outside the account. Could it be that this person has been hiding in the barracks, no, it is impossible, neither Zhao Kuangyin nor Zhang Jizhao can be so reckless, this is too bold, too unworthy of the Shu army.
Her heart was beating so hard, and her chest was rising and falling rapidly because of the rapid breathing, Ming'er noticed my abnormality, and was anxious to go to Liluo again. I was afraid of complications, so I tried my best to stop her, and I must see this messenger, whoever he is.
