Turning his head again, Zhu Gaoxu was no longer beside the carriage, and heard Yan Qi ask in front of him: "Do you believe him?" ”

"Him?"

"Zhu Gaoxu."

I thought about it, but I replied, "I do." ”

Yan Qiliang answered me after a long silence: "Okay." ”

In the evening, when the sergeants rested and the soldiers were busy setting up camp, I once again carried Ah Ping to a quiet clearing. I wiped his face and hands with a wet cloth towel, thinking that if the poison of the Soul Forgetting Incense was resolved, it should be able to remember the past, and it would be good to wake up when I woke up, although the cold ice poison was damaged, at least it was not immediately fatal, as long as there was time to respend, I could always find a way to save it. At this time, I can only comfort myself like this, otherwise what else can I do?

"Ah Ping, you can actually hear us, you just don't want to wake up, right?" I whispered softly to his ear, which seemed to be a habit for me, and whether he could hear him or not, I always liked to talk to him when I was alone at night. The stars and moon are sparse tonight, and tomorrow is afraid that it will be a cloudy day, so I asked Ah Ping: "How long have we been out?" Do you think Xiao Yuan'er will be able to sit and climb anymore? That kid's round body, I'm afraid it's so difficult to do. ”

Yuan'er's figure appeared in his mind, and the longing in his heart deepened and deepened. During the period when I followed Ah Ping on the expedition, I almost didn't turn my thoughts to Yuan'er, because I knew that if I thought about it, I would definitely not be able to stop the flood of longing, and it would be out of control.

I tapped Ah Ping's head and pointed him away from his place before saying, "You said that you robbed me from the palace like a bandit, and now you want to pat your ass and ignore it?" I tell you, there are no doors. ”

I was interrupted by a click behind me, and I turned my head to see Zhu Gaoxu hiding behind a stone, and I found him and shrank his head back. I didn't move, I continued to stare at the place, and after a moment he poked his head out again, only to meet my gaze and not to appear, and not to shrink his head, and to pause there with embarrassment.

"Come here." It wasn't until I raised my voice that he stepped out from behind the rocks. Nor did I come near, but at some distance I stopped talking as if I was afraid of me, and I asked softly, "What did you just do?" ”

"I'm going back to interrogating the woman."

I was not surprised to hear Zhu Gaoxu's answer, and focused on him: "What did she say?" ”

She said...... Oh, in fact, I wanted to bring people to you for personal interrogation, but my father stopped me, and then my father interrogated, and I hid aside and eavesdropped, and heard her and my father admit it. Originally...... It turns out that Brother Wei was also poisoned? Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows furrowed as he spoke, and his eyes showed worry.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and chuckled, "yes." The tone was a little indifferent, and he didn't seem to care, which made Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows frown even tighter, he couldn't help but come to him, hesitated and reached out to probe my forehead, and when I stepped back slightly, I heard him ask above his head: "Xiaolan, are you sick?" ”

I opened his hand angrily, "Who's sick?" ”

"How can this be an attitude if you are not sick? You care about Brother Bong, but now Brother Bin has detoxified a poison but there is still some cold ice poison, you should be the kind that is in a hurry to go crazy. ”

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's exaggerated appearance, he couldn't help but smile, and he understood that he was deliberately making me laugh. But soon I smiled and said to him seriously: "Ah Xu, now that you have married her, you should be good to her no matter what, but," I took a deep breath and warned him word by word: "What should be guarded against must also be guarded against." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes shrank, and he nodded back: "I can save it." ”

If a marriage is full of calculations and precautions, can it still run well? The answer is necessarily no. I am ashamed of Zhu Gaoxu in this matter, if it weren't for saving Ah Ping, he wouldn't have agreed to marry Lu He.

I didn't want to continue this topic, so I shifted my focus and asked, "How long will it take to get back to the capital?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu sat down next to him and replied to me: "It will take about two days, we have already arrived at the outskirts of the capital, and when we are ten miles away from the capital, we will have to camp in place, and the generals will all enter the capital to face the saint." ”

"Has Aping's matter been reported back?"

"There should be, I don't know, the emperor's grandfather loves Brother Wei so much, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry."

I found that Zhu Gaoxu had some envy in his eyes when he said this, I am afraid that he also has a deep respect for Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandfather who fought on horseback. I couldn't be relieved, so I had to pretend that I didn't see it and said: "It's easier to get warm after going back to the palace, I hope I can restrain the poison of ice and poison and wake up early, so as not to worry about many people." ”

Zhu Gaoxu stared at me sideways and was silent for a long time, I was a little uncomfortable and spoke again: "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking at you, if someone can treat me like you do to Brother Wei, I'm willing to die."

Hearing this, I reprimanded: "What nonsense is not dead, how old are you, you will definitely meet someone caring in the future." "I don't know about his historical information, all I remembered in the dream at that time was about Ah Ping, and Zhu Di's content was roughly scanned, so I really couldn't predict what would happen to Zhu Gaoxu.

But with Zhu Gaoxu's true temperament, it should be good. It seems that the throne of the Ming Dynasty has the rule of passing on the eldest son-in-law, and Zhu Gaochi has long been established as the prince, if Zhu Di becomes the emperor in the future, Zhu Gaochi will be the emperor, and Zhu Gaochu will not compete with his eldest brother with his nature.

But I didn't know that Zhu Gaochi, the emperor, had only been in office for ten months. That's for another time.

Zhu Gaoxu also nodded happily after listening to what I said: "What you said must be true, I will invite you to have a drink when that day comes." Hearing such a beautiful prayer, I also smiled lightly: "It's drinking, not eating." ”

"Eating wine is our saying in Beiping, and what you put in your mouth is what you eat." Zhu Gaoxu insisted on arguing with me, and without waiting for my response, he put his shoulder on my shoulder and asked, "Did you say that?" ”

And by this time I could no longer listen to him, because just now when I habitually lowered my eyes and glanced back at Ah Ping, his gaze froze, and I don't know when he opened his eyes and looked at me for a moment...... Behind.

At first glance, I thought he was looking at me, but when I looked closely, I found that his gaze was empty, without a focus, just open, no sadness, no joy, like a deep ancient well and pool, the waves were silent.

It was Zhu Gaoxu who broke the silence and said in a loud voice what was in my heart: "Huh? Brother Wei woke up. ”

"Ah Xu, go and call Imperial Doctor Jiang to come."

"Oh, I'll go." As he got up, he muttered to himself, "But that old man is so difficult, and I will be punished by my father's lawsuit against me again." ”

After hearing his muttering fade away, I leaned my face slightly and called softly: "Ah Ping." ”

The light of his eyes slowly turned back after a long pause, and when it finally fell on my face, I wondered if he would forget me again. Or do you deliberately deny me in some way? What should I do in both situations?

For a moment, I was at a loss when I faced him, and the fingers that tugged at the placket of his shirt were all tight until they turned white, waiting for the answer that was coming. As a result, his eyes closed after looking at me for a while, and his breathing was shallow......

I froze in place, my heartbeat changed from agitated to calm, maybe I just opened my eyes like the last time Yan Qi saw it. When a person has been immersed in gloomy emotions for too long, disappointment and loss have become commonplace, and they slowly get used to it.

After snorting lightly, he curled the corners of his lips and looked up, and muttered in his mouth: "Ah Ping, are you losing your temper with me again?" So again and again I was disappointed after giving me hope? It's because I know I'm used to it, you're really bad. ”

Suddenly, a very low voice came from below: "Lan, why do you speak ill of me when I am asleep?" ”

I lowered my eyes as if in slow motion, and saw that the eyes that had just been closed were opened again, but they were no longer as unwavering as before, there was more vividness in them, and my gaze fell on my face gently, if I didn't know his previous situation, I would feel that he had a trace of laziness at this moment.

The excited reaction did not come out, but my state of mind was very calm, looking back shallowly, and then learning his very low tone: "That's because you are really bad, you fell asleep after talking to me, and you slept for a long time." ”

His eyebrows frowned, and he nodded in response: "Yes, next time ......"

I raised an eyebrow to cut off his words: "And next time?" You're looking for a fight. Pretending to pat him on the forehead, he grabbed his hand lightly, and then put it on his head and snuggled up to him. Suddenly, he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I'm laughing at you for being a bit like a puppy."

I was joking, but he said seriously: "Puppies also have breeds, and I must be a noble race." ”

Again, he deliberately said, "Noble?" I look like a Chinese pastoral dog at best. ”

"What breed is the Chinese pastoral dog?"

Thinking of something, I really laughed: "Do you remember the rhubarb at the entrance of my mother's village?" It is the Chinese pastoral dog, referred to as the earth dog, which can be seen everywhere. ”

Ah Ping was unhappy: "Is the level so low?" ”

"I don't like rhubarb, then I'll reluctantly upgrade you to Labrador."

"What breed is Labrador?"

I paused, and when I first saw Ah Ping, I really woke up and forgot some things, I am afraid that there is no Labrador breed in this era, so I can only make it up by myself: "It is the purest black dog, without a single variegated hair on its body, and the kind with big ears." It is very gentle, intelligent and obedient. ”

"Then let's do it reluctantly." He finally listened and was willing to compromise.
