Chapter 171: Rainy Day

A thick blanket was laid on the side of the soft couch in the study. Yi Yu sat on it holding a book in one hand, and stroked Yinxiao's neck who was lying on her side as if sleeping with the other, and from time to time she withdrew her hand to turn a page of the book, and in her ears was the sound of the drizzle outside the window, and the air smelled moist.

On the soft couch behind her, Li Tai was lying comfortably on his side, his slender fingers sliding over the pages of the book in his hand, and in the afterglow was the girl's somewhat thin figure, and on the half-white neck, the shallow fluffy hair was faintly recognizable.

His gaze shifted to the side, and the pure white feathers as white as snow fell into his eyes, making him think of Yinxiao disobeying his previous orders in the morning and suddenly running out, but strangely, he did not have the idea of punishment for this rare disobedience.

Yu Yu didn't notice the eyes of the people behind him who occasionally stayed on his back, not because he was attracted by the story in the book, but because he was sorting out the chaotic thoughts of the early morning.

I can't think about it, what is there about her that can make Li Tai "interested", but this is not a good thing for her after all.

For various reasons, her future life is destined to be full of twists and turns. It is not her wish to continue to add chaos to this already unpeaceful life.

Although she got along with him in the past few days was quite "pleasant", breaking some of her previous misunderstandings about him, but she didn't plan to continue, the nightmare decompression did have the effect of disturbing people's hearts, although she was vigilant in the morning, but as soon as she spoke, she would unconsciously relax, it seems that in the future, when she encounters something like this morning, she can only deal with it in silence.

Speaking of which, she is also grateful for Yinxiao's sudden intrusion in the morning, otherwise she really doesn't know what she will say if she continues to be questioned by that person.

The rain had been falling for half an hour, but it had not diminished in the slightest, the windows in her house had not yet been installed, and the people were reinforcing other places, so after freshening up for him, she could only stay in the study and share a room with him.

"Your Highness, the little girl went to see if the window had been repaired." Yi Yu propped himself up with his hands, turned to Li Tai, who had just withdrawn his gaze, and said.

"Zhao He." He called out and didn't say much, and Zhao He, who had been guarding the door, went to the west house of the small building with understanding.

Yiyu, who was thinking about leaving with this, felt depressed for a while. Before I could sit back down, I felt an itchy nose and a small sneeze.

Li Tai glanced at her slightly wrinkled little nose, and reached into the soft couch with one hand, grabbed the satin robe he had fallen on the armrest yesterday, and threw it onto the blanket in front of her.

Yi Yu's hand on the ground was covered with smooth satin, and after hearing Li Tai gently tapping his hand on the incense table next to him, someone walked to the door.

"Cook a bowl of hot soup and bring it."

Yi Yu subconsciously reached out and picked up the light blue robe, a strange feeling flowed through her heart, she looked up at the man, but saw that he didn't seem to have opened his mouth, he was still focused on the book, the handsome side face looked faint, she secretly laughed in her heart that she was too sensitive, but she still said softly:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After turning her head, she first leaned towards Yinxiao, although the feathers of this big bird were hard, there was a lot of heating on her body. She didn't drape the robe over her, but piled it up beside her knees with some restraint, but just so, the familiar scent of lavender still spilled into her nose. was contaminated with the smell of the incense burner behind her, but she easily sniffed out something different, lighter, with a quiet smell.

Just after she turned around, Li Taiqing's blue eyes stayed behind her for a moment, and after seeing her actions, his delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Zhao He came back soon, stood at the door, and respectfully reported, "Master, Miss Lu, the window has been installed, but we still need to check whether it is firm elsewhere." ”

Zhao He is also the number one person in the front row of Li Tai, although he is more than smart and lacks wisdom, he is good at observing words and watching people and waiting for people, and in the past two days, he has also seen some differences in Li Tai's attitude.

At the moment, it is rare to be a little clever together, only to be the master of their own family, and they have some other meanings for a little girl, although they wonder in their hearts, they also know how to say and do, and they will be more close to the master's heart.

Listening to his words, Li Tai did not express any opinions, but there was a trace of depression on Yi Yu's little face, which meant that she had to stay here.

After a while, someone brought a cup of hot soup, a delicate porcelain cup, and when the lid was lifted, there was a smell of sunken wood. There are circles of oil spots floating on the orange soup, this is the ginseng chicken soup made for Li Tai in the kitchen in the middle of the morning, although he doesn't use it most of the time, but the cook will still make it according to the time and rules, which is just cheaper.

She didn't eat much in the morning, and she was feeling hungry at this time, so she didn't feel embarrassed because she had her back to Li Tai, so she swallowed the ginseng soup with the two pieces of chicken breast inside.

After a bowl of hot soup into her stomach, she really felt a lot better, and her body with a cold feeling also warmed up, she was not afraid of the cold, but it was an exception on a rainy day, and her limbs habitually flushed with a little coolness, which was not uncomfortable.

Yinxiao didn't know what was wrong, since she arrived at the study in the morning, she had been lying lazily on the velvet blanket beside her, her head buried in her wings, and from time to time there was a faint "grunt" sound. I looked down at it again, but I was met by a pair of eyes that were oozing with terrifying blood!

I had never seen it with such eyes, and after being frightened, there was no fear, when it was unwell, and was about to reach out to touch it, when it approached its head, the pair of blood-colored eyes were even more bloody, and the snow-white feathers all over the body also had a sign of exploding.

"Huh?" Suddenly, a large hand reached out from the side and clasped it on Yinxiao's slender wrist before she was about to touch the white fluff on the top of Yinxiao's head. The dry, warm fingers made her suddenly lose her mind, and she missed the strange change in Yinxiao's blood-red pupils.

Yi Yu didn't know what kind of danger he had just avoided, so he turned his head to look at Li Tai, who was staring at Yinxiao coldly, and opened his mouth to wonder: "Your Highness? ”

"You get out."

At the same time as she asked, Li Tai let go of her wrist, turned over and got off the soft couch, covering its eyes with one hand, and pressing the top of Yinxiao's head with the other, seemingly caressing it gently.

Without waiting for Yi Yu to think about it, he listened to Li Tai again: "Zhao He, take Miss Lu to the king's house." ”

Zhao He pushed the door in response, and saw the situation in the room clearly at a glance, and after seeing the master who was "touching" Yinxiao, his eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to lure the jade out.

The rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, water droplets were dripping under the eaves, and half of the corridor was already soaked, Yi Yu frowned lightly, and followed Zhao He to Li Tai's room.

"Miss Lu, you can stay here for a while." Zhao He, who seemed to know something, did not explain for her, but closed the door from the outside, and walked back towards the study in a hurry.

Thinking of the slight panic on Zhao He's face before leaving, Yi Yu walked around the screen to the north window, stretched out his hand to push open the tightly covered window, the cold breath came to the surface, and the rain sounded louder.

She clasped one hand on the wrist of the other hand, as if there was still a warm touch on the cold skin, and her jade-like eyes showed a faint complex color, and after sighing lightly, she changed to wonder - what was wrong with Yinxiao?

The sound of the rain drowned out the faint sounds of the next room, and the earthy smell of the rain muffled the faint smell of blood in the air.

***

Zhao He was almost half-attached to the door of the study, listening to the movement in the room, he was anxious, and he wanted to go in to replace him, but he didn't dare to step in half a step without the permission of his master, so he could only make some simple gestures to the two maids who had just come out of the west side of the small building. The two of them, who were originally walking this way, went to the front yard in the rain in a bit of confusion.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhao He heard a low voice from the house: "Come in." ”

He took the steaming copper basin and cloth towel from the hands of the maids on the side, glanced at them, and after the two of them had gone away, he pushed the door into the house, and closed the elbow of the door again, and the faint smell of blood escaped from the crack in the door the moment the door was opened.

Li Tai sat on the beige velvet blanket with his back against the soft couch, and his left arm resting on the side of the soft couch was covered with a light blue robe, although it covered the fishy smell, the faint blood color slowly floated on it, like a blood-colored lotus flower blooming on the blue lake, and the white feathers were stained with a little crimson silver, shrunk into a ball, nestled at his feet, motionless.

Zhao He walked forward quickly, put the copper basin with hot water on the ground, went to the back of the bookshelf and groped for a while to find a cloth bag and two blue porcelain medicine bottles, pulled it out and smelled the smell, before kneeling down beside Li Tai, uncovering the light blue robe, and with a cautious face, he cleaned, wiped, medicated, and bandaged the half-bloodstained arm that he had exposed.

After Zhao He finished treating the somewhat hideous wound, Li Taicai reached out his right hand and tapped it twice on his arm to unlock the acupuncture point to stop bleeding.

"Master, why is it at this time... Why don't your subordinates send it back? ”

"Clean up the house." Li Tai did not respond to his suggestion, reached out and untied the blood-stained coat, took off it and threw it on the carpet, put down the cuffs of the white middle coat on his left arm, and covered it up layer by layer wrapped around his arm, which had already soaked out a little dark red white veil.

Zhao He looked at Yinxiao who seemed to have slept on the ground, did not persuade again, cleaned up the room, put everything that was stained with blood in one place, and went up to the east room to get a robe over, regardless of Yiyu's puzzled eyes, sent the clothes to the study, and then took the pile of clothes to the front yard to burn them in person.

(I'm sorry,-- I'm sorry for the delay for so long, and I said that it was noon and I couldn't upload it until now, so I'm ashamed.) This is the first update)
