265. Reliable friends
One day after the boycott, the courtiers came to the dormitory to ask for a meeting, so that Ah Ping had to leave me temporarily. Later, it was supposed that the medicine worked, and I fell asleep in a daze, but the discomfort of my whole body couldn't make me fall asleep completely, so I woke up as soon as I felt someone around me. When I opened my eyes in a daze, a figure shook in front of me, and after a while, I realized that it was not the figure shaking, but my own dizziness due to high fever.
"Why are you so sick?" A deep voice touched the ear.
My dull brain slowed down, I don't know how many beats before I realized that this voice was Zhu Di's, and then I was surprised, "Why are you here?" The hoarse voice didn't look like himself anymore, and his heart was really shocked.
This is the important place of the harem, and it is also Ah Ping's bedroom, and Ah Ping arranged guards to guard in secret, no matter what, Zhu Di can't appear here, is it that I am dreaming again?
But I heard the deep voice come again: "I'm coming to see you." After a pause, he said, "Alain, why are you pushing yourself like this?" I told you a long time ago that this imperial city is not suitable for you, but you insist on going your own way, but at least you don't have trouble with yourself. He sighed lightly at this, stared at me for a moment, and then suddenly stretched out his palm, I subconsciously trembled, but saw that the palm was above my head, and it was grasped into a fist, and finally I took it back.
"I'm leaving, I'm here today to bring you the Tianshan Snow Lotus that I have treasured for many years. There may not be much chance to meet in the future, so I hope you ...... Be fine. ”
I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart when I heard the second half of his words, since I met him, I thought he was Lu Feng, and I kept looking for various reasons to prove that he was not Lu Feng, but as the voice in the chaos said, since I can come to this era, why can't Lu Feng? What's more, he looks so similar to Lu Feng. But after proving that he is, what can I do? Alienating him, ignoring his emotions, and cutting off all possible ties with him.
Even so, he remained the same to me. I won't see you again, and I hope I'll be well.
He said he was leaving, and Ah Ping was finally willing to let go because of me. I'm afraid it's really impossible to see each other again, so let's forget about each other. But when he was about to turn away, I suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and when he turned around, I looked up at him and pleaded: "Promise me that if you leave, you will never come back, okay?" ”
I want Zhu Di's promise, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease.
He looked at me calmly for a while, and finally answered: "Okay, as long as you are here, I will never return to Beijing." ”
This is a promise to me, and he will fulfill this promise with his Zhu Di's character. I loosened his sleeves, watched him walk out of sight, and whispered in my heart: Lu Feng, goodbye.
Maybe it's really because of the knot, my high fever miraculously subsided that night, and when I woke up, Ah Ping sat on the edge of the bed with his back to me. He moved all the tables to the bedside, and the documents and folds were piled up on the table, and he was burying his head in annotating the folds and didn't notice that I was awake.
Looking at his silhouette quietly, it felt like he had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Xiaoxiao walked in with a tray, and when she saw me open her eyes, she immediately shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, the queen is awake." ”
The person sitting on his back turned his head, his dark eyes flashed with joy, he lost the pen in his hand and turned around and sat on the edge of the bed and approached me, "Lan, do you feel better?" Although his head was a little heavy, at least the pain all over his body was gone, and he responded hoarsely: "Hmm." ”
Xiaoxiao stepped forward and handed over a bowl of medicine in the tray, Ah Ping took it and helped me up from the bed with one hand and leaned in front of him, and then wrapped his hand around me to feed me the medicine. The whole set of movements is very skillful, and it is obvious that it is often done.
The soup in the medicine bowl is not black and mushy, but transparent, and it is slightly sweet and astringent in the mouth, but it is not bitter. I can't help but ask, "What is this?" The space was silent, and I heard Ah Ping answer: "It is a special medicinal herb, and drinking it is beneficial to your body." ”
After drinking the medicine, Xiaoxiao put away the bowl, and only me and Ah Ping were left in the room. Without waiting for me to inquire, he first told the matter: "Uncle Wang has returned to Beiping, don't worry about this matter anymore." In the future, I will tell you all the major events of the DPRK and China, but you must promise me that no matter what my fate will be in the future, you will never leak any more opportunities. Lan, I'm not afraid of anything in the future, I'm just afraid that you will fall into my arms again and talk lifeless, I can't let this happen again. ”
He had already thought that I was vomiting blood and fell ill this time as a curse for leaking history, but I knew that it was because I couldn't accept that all the consequences were the cause of me. I don't want to hurt my heart anymore, things have already begun, and the only thing I can do is to do my best to make up for it. Now at least it is certain that Zhu Di has left and will no longer contradict Ah Ping, and he promised that I will never return to Beijing, and since he has promised, he will not regret it.
But I didn't think that there was something behind the scenes that I didn't expect.
I saw Zhu Gaoxu again, in a corner of the palace.
Xiao Yuan'er took me there, and he didn't forget it after receiving gifts, and he always dragged me out after my body gradually recovered. The first few times I arrived, I turned back, but once I insisted on going to that corner, so I saw Zhu Gaoxu in a deserted palace. At that time, Zhu Gaoxu climbed onto the roof and lay down, with a branch in his mouth, and his feet crossed Erlang's legs as if he was asleep.
Xiao Yuan'er pointed to the roof and smiled happily and shouted, "Uncle Xu." ”
Zhu Gaoxu closed his eyes and said lazily: "Stinky boy, why are you so late today?" Don't you want my bow anymore? ”
"I want it, I want it." Xiao Yuan'er immediately expressed his position anxiously.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu sat up, and was about to open his mouth to say something, but he saw me stunned, looked down from top to bottom and blurted out, "Xiaolan, why are you here?" ”
I don't answer the rhetorical question, "Why are you here?" ”
He looked around, "You say this roof?" It's cooler on top, and it's comfortable to sleep, so you can wait for Xiao Yuan'er to come while sleeping. ”
I glanced at my son next to me, he had already been here more than once? Who brought him here? It's impossible to smile, she's my personal maid, and she's been by my side almost all the time. That's Yun Gu? But I heard Zhu Gaoxu's inquiry from the rooftop, and immediately gave me an answer.
"Why didn't Yan Qi come today? It's not that it doesn't alarm you. ”
I was a little surprised, it was actually Yan Qi. But what I was even more surprised was that Zhu Gaoxu should not have returned to Peking with his father? How can you still be in the capital? Don't...... I immediately asked, "What about your father?" Is he there too? ”
"Father? My father has gone back with my eldest brother. ”
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi are gone? Then why did you leave Zhu Gaoxu behind? "Why didn't you leave the capital together?"
After I asked a question, Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer immediately, just smiled lazily, and said after a while: "The emperor arranged this palace for me, it's quiet and quiet, it's good." ”
What does he mean is that Ah Ping released Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, but put him under house arrest here?
Why? Isn't it already settled? When I woke up from a serious illness, I heard Ah Ping personally say that Zhu Di was released. A voice immediately retorted after the thought was crossed: he only said that he would let Zhu Di go, but did not say that he would let Zhu Gaoxu go.
"Xiaolan." Zhu Gaoxu jumped off the roof, "Don't go to the emperor, last time I didn't run to find you, and later I learned that you vomited blood and became seriously ill." When I turned around, my father beat me hard and ordered me to stay in Beijing to reflect, and I regretted it very much. Anyway, there is no war now, and Xiao Yuan'er comes to play with me every day, and life is quite good. ”
I like Zhu Gaoxu, not the kind of relationship between men and women, but his upright character, frankness when encountering problems, and his heartlessness. But staring at that smiling face at the moment, he used to feel that his smile was pure and carefree, but now he showed bitterness. After taking off the wings of galloping on the battlefield, he is equivalent to being imprisoned here, how can he still be as heartless as before?
Lowering his eyes, his nose was inexplicably sour. I thought the knot had been opened, but I didn't think it was hidden deeper here.
The sleeves were lifted, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhu Gaoxu and said distressedly: "Look at you, you can't wear thin clothes." When I learned that you vomited blood, I really regretted that my intestines were blue, and I wanted to run to you immediately, but I couldn't enter the imperial city, and my father punished me with pain but was willing. In the future, you don't have to worry about these things anymore, let us men solve it on our own. ”
Seeing that he was sincere, I nodded. There is no need to ask Ah Ping about this matter, he can allow Yan Qi to bring Xiao Yuan'er to Zhu Gaoxu, obviously he is not afraid of me. I went to ask, he must have a reason, maybe he was not at ease about letting Zhu Di go and left Zhu Gaoxu as a proton.
Intellectually speaking, there is nothing wrong with Ah Ping doing this. In this way to maintain a balance, even if Zhu Di regrets it in the future, he should be warned, but Zhu Di promised me that he would never return to Beijing, so he should not regret it.
After eliminating this concern, in fact, I was still happy to see Zhu Gaoxu in the palace, his age can be my younger brother, but I have known him for so long, and I have not regarded him as a younger brother, he is a reliable friend.
