Chapter 253: Wake up
The candles in the courtyard did not stop all night. A room full of people was busy, and they also probed into Zhou Xiaoyan's room from time to time to confirm that Zhou Xiaoyan was okay before continuing to be busy.
Today's events really frightened the big guys, and Hua Biluo refused to leave Hua Qingyan half a step, and she must make sure that she was within her sight to be relieved.
Because of her apologies, Hua Qingyan stayed by Zhou Xiaoyan's bedside all night and refused to leave a single step. Although Zhou Xiaoyan had no scars on her body, and her clothes were only slightly torn, Hua Qingyan felt heartache when she thought of the unknown despair that Zhou Xiaoyan faced alone. After all, everything that happened to Zhou Xiaoyan was caused by her.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was not good, she missed dinner because she was looking for someone, and Hua Qingyan rushed into Zhou Xiaoyan's room after she came back, and she simply regarded Yun Shumo as nothing. This kind of neglect made the cold and indifferent Yun Shumo also change his face.
The exquisite dishes on the dinner table have already cooled down because no one cares, Yun Shumo is sitting at the table, there is a pot of wine in front of him, although he is a little leisurely drinking by himself, but obviously his face reveals that the mood is not like this.
Yu Jiamin knelt tremblingly, she believed that Yun Shumo had already understood what had happened, strictly speaking, this matter was all caused by her, if she hadn't shaved Liu Mengying's hair on her own initiative, she would not have provoked Liu Mengying's hatred, let alone let Zhou Xiaoyan suffer an unwarranted disaster.
It's because she didn't handle things well, she should have wanted to protect Hua Qingyan's safety, but she didn't expect to push the person she wanted to protect into a dangerous situation, which is simply a serious dereliction of duty. If Yun Shumo wants to punish her today, she will definitely not have half a complaint.
"Yo, on your knees." Wei Xiao arranged the army transferred by Yu Jiamin, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Jiamin kneeling on the ground, and sat down next to Yun Shumo with a grin, regardless of whether the food was cold or not, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Where in the barracks is there such an exquisite dish, it is very good to be able to eat a mouthful of dry food during the war.
While eating, Wei Xiao also snorted, "I said Xiao Jiamin, why don't you take it easy with me." I also really want to stay with the princess, not only to eat and drink, but also to solve lifelong problems, it's really comfortable. ”
It's because it's so comfortable that it's the situation we have today. Yu Jiamin muttered a few words in her heart but didn't dare to say it, she didn't want to touch Yun Shumo's brows at this time.
Zhou Li went to Zhou Xiaoyan's room to take a look, looked at Hua Qingyan, who had been guarding the bedside without eating or drinking, and sighed. He stepped back and walked to the front hall, and looked at the front hall with a little headache. He already knew what had happened, although he also felt sorry for his own girl, but he couldn't completely blame Yu Jiamin at this time, after all, the situation in the tea shop at that time, if she wasn't tough, she would be bullied by that Liu Mengying.
Looking at Yu Jiamin, who had been kneeling for an hour, Zhou Li thought about it and said to Yun Shumo: "Yun Gongzi, you can't blame Miss Yu for this matter, although Miss Yu was ruthless at that time, she was also a protector. Fortunately, Xiao Yan has been rescued safely, and there is no other damage except for being frightened, so Yun Gongzi will be punished. ”
Zhou Lizheng now understands that the maid next to Hua Qingyan who is born with divine power is Yun Shumo's person, of course, in Zhou Lizheng's eyes, Yun Shumo and Hua Qingyan are husband and wife, and it doesn't matter who the owner of this maid is.
Zhou Lizheng sighed, and didn't wait for Yun Shumo to open his mouth and said: "Yun Gongzi go and see Qing Yan, if you don't eat or drink this night, you will always be hungry, Qing Yan's body is already relatively weak, so it's not good to consume it like this." ”
Yun Shumo put down his wine glass, nodded towards Zhou Lizheng, but didn't look at Yu Jiamin, and walked directly past her towards Zhou Xiaoyan's room.
In the room, the two children had fallen asleep under Hua Biluo's care, and the candles in the room were very bright, even a little dazzling. Yun Shumo quietly pushed the door in, only Hua Biluo noticed and nodded at him, while Hua Qingyan was holding Zhou Xiaoyan's hand with her back to him.
Yun Shumo couldn't see Hua Qingyan's expression, but he could feel her self-blame.
"Qing Yan." Yun Shumo's hand was on Hua Qingyan's shoulder, "What do you want to worry about?" ”
Yun Shumo's tone was serious, but it became a reproach in Hua Qingyan's ears, Hua Qingyan's eyes were red, but he deeply held back the grievances that came to his heart, and just lowered his head.
Yun Shumo frowned silently, scooped up Hua Qingyan's whole person, and forcefully made her face herself. Before he could say his reproach, he looked at Hua Qingyan's red eyes and swallowed the words that came to his mouth alive. Yun Shumo sighed helplessly and hugged Hua Qingyan into his arms, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
Hua Qingyan was originally aggrieved, but she couldn't help but burst out of her eyes when she was comforted by such a comfort. From the panic after learning of Zhou Xiaoyan's disappearance, but she still had to stay calm, to the anxiety when time passed little by little but there was still no news, none of them made Hua Qingyan suffer. She has been holding back, telling herself that she must be calm, because she is Hua Qingyan, Zhou Yao and Zhou Xiaoyan need her, in this case, if even she loses her calm, then Zhou Xiaoyan is afraid that she will not be able to find it back.
Fortunately, the final result was good, and Zhou Xiaoyan was successfully recovered. But the grievances and guilt in her heart have never been able to go away.
Tears soon soaked Yun Shumo's clothes, and Yun Shumo gently patted her back and comforted her silently. He knew how much pressure Hua Qingyan was under, if Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't find it, or if Zhou Xiaoyan had an accident, then Hua Qingyan was afraid that she would have to blame herself for the rest of her life, and she was afraid that she would not be able to face the Lizheng family who had always taken good care of her.
When Hua Qingyan had cried enough, she rubbed Yun Shumo's clothes, and felt that the place she touched was cold before she realized what she had done. The originally pale face finally turned a little bloody. She hung her head and grabbed Yun Shumo's clothes, but she didn't dare to look at his expression.
She heard about it, because she had been refusing to eat, so Yun Shumo didn't eat either, and the dishes on that table were cold.
Thinking of this, Hua Qingyan was both distressed and guilty, this person rushed over thousands of miles, not only did he accompany him, but also did so many things, not letting him live in peace, and he didn't even let the family eat a bite of hot rice, it was just a wolf's heart and dog lungs! Moreover, maybe his identity has been exposed, after all, Yun Shumo asked Yu Jiamin to transfer troops today. Hua Qingyan was a little worried. After all, Yun Shumo didn't want to reveal his identity when he came here.
Looking at that unpredictable little face, Yun Shumo couldn't guess what Hua Qingyan was thinking. He rubbed Hua Qingyan's forehead and said softly: "It's not in the way, I happen to take the emperor back to the court this time." By the way, set up a name for the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of Marshal Hua. So even if it's exposed, it doesn't matter, and it can still give you more leverage. ”
Hua Qingyan frowned, she knew what the chips in Yun Shumo's mouth were, but she didn't need these for the time being. She also understands that after Yun Shumo's identity is revealed, her future identity will change dramatically. And this kind of change is not what Hua Qingyan wants now.
Hua Qingyan shook her head: "I don't want anyone to associate my husband with the dignified regent, at least not now." ”
"Why are you so reluctant to rely on me? Tied to me? After Hua Qingyan finished speaking, Yun Shumo frowned, although he understood Hua Qingyan's inner insistence, and also understood why Hua Qingyan said this, but he understood it, but he was still a little annoyed when he heard Hua Qingyan say that he wanted to break off relations with him.
Yun Shumo understands Hua Qingyan, how can Hua Qingyan not know his thoughts, it is nothing more than machismo. But Yun Shumo's emotions are still very rare, and this person is also very good at communicating. Hua Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled: "This is only temporary." My brother and I hope to return to Yongjing again with our own efforts and means, so that the Hua family is not so easy to defeat. ”
"And you should also understand that if your identity is exposed, and our previous relationship is exposed, then I will inevitably become your vassal. That's not what I want, do you want that? ”
Yun Shumo didn't want to admit that he was persuaded by Hua Qingyan, he really wanted to see a Hua Qingyan who could stand side by side with him, and he even hoped that when he didn't talk about him, he would consciously think, oh, this is Hua Qingyan's husband Yun Shumo, not that she Hua Qingyan married Yun Shumo by any means and became Princess Rui.
But Yun Shumo was a little unwilling, because Hua Qingyan's refusal was so crisp that he didn't even hesitate at all, which made him feel frustrated. After all, he is a man, and he hopes to give his beloved a solid arm that she can rely on.
Yun Shumo lowered his head against Hua Qingyan's forehead and asked again: "Do you really not want me to disclose my identity?" This will be very convenient for your future plans! ”
Looking at Yun Shumo's gritted teeth, Hua Qingyan smiled and bent her eyebrows, but still shook her head: "I really don't need it, one day, I will bring a valuable dowry to the door." ”
Hua Qingyan hugged Yun Shumo's head, pecked him lightly on the lips, and left before Yun Shumo could respond. But as soon as she turned her head, she met a pair of smiling eyes.
Hua Qingyan exclaimed: "Xiao Yan! You're awake! That's great! ”
Zhou Xiaoyan nodded and said with a smile: "I don't want to disturb you, you can continue to be non-existent." ”
Looking at Zhou Xiaoyan's smiling face, Hua Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was even more sad. It was she who caused Zhou Xiaoyan to be like this, but this stupid girl still laughed and teased her. Although she didn't know anything, although Hua Qingyan could also hide the truth about her kidnapping, Hua Qingyan felt that she couldn't be so shameless!
"Xiaoyan, I'm sorry." Hua Qingyan lowered her eyes with a solemn expression.
Zhou Xiaoyan was stunned, "Why are you doing this, I still have to thank you, you must be looking for me, otherwise how could Jia Min find me in the end." ”
