Su Baitong sat sideways in front of the window, and the little civet curled up and fell asleep beside her lap.
On the tabletop, a night pearl is exuding a faint brilliance, and the moonlight outside the window is obviously very quiet.
At this moment, there was the sound of small footsteps in the courtyard.
Su Baitong's fingers moved as he flipped through the book. The voice was familiar to her, so she didn't raise her head and continued to read.
In the courtyard, a long figure walked in, stopping at the window and looking at her.
"Who's there?" Huixiang was the first to spot the intruder in the yard.
She opened the door and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the other party.
Dressed in a red brocade robe, the four-clawed coiled dragon embroidered with gold thread shines in the night.
"Lord Yushi......" Huixiang hurriedly saluted in a panic, but she didn't expect that it would be so late, and the patrol would suddenly visit Yushi.
Ling Xiaotian completely ignored Hui Xiang and walked directly past her, looking like she wanted to enter the door.
Huixiang hurriedly said, "My lord." My young lady has already rested. The implication is that you can't let him in and break the rules.
"Ghost Face." Ling Xiaotian called out without looking back.
"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates outside have already made arrangements." Ghostface suddenly emerges from the shadows. Scared Huixiang aback.
Ling Xiaotian turned his head and glanced at Hui Xiang, majestic and breathtaking.
In the past few days, when Huixiang lived in the yamen with Miss Hui, it was not uncommon to see Ling Xiaotian, at that time, he looked good-natured in bed, but now after changing into a serious official uniform, the whole person seems to be majestic and inviolable, and the words she originally wanted to continue to dissuade were all stuck in her throat.
Begonia quietly came over and pulled her over.
Seeing Ling Xiaotian turn around and enter the door, Haitang whispered in Huixiang's ear: "Good sister, we can't control this matter." ”
Huixiang was about to cry in a hurry, "But...... But ...... "in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows." If this spreads, Su Baitong's reputation will be over.
Haitang said helplessly: "How can we stop this by worrying?" Don't worry, Lord Yushi naturally has a number in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have asked his people to stay outside. "Macro He group planning.
Huixiang thought about it and felt that what Haitang said was also reasonable, if Su Baitong didn't want to see him, he would definitely kick him out directly.
Their young lady is not afraid of his status as a royal historian.
Ling Xiaotian pushed open the door.
On the table, the night pearl exudes a faint light.
Su Baitong leaned sideways. With one hand on his cheek and the other on his hand, his clear eyes are like the bright moon in the night.
She didn't seem to notice that Ling Xiaotian had entered the door, and her heart was still on the scroll in her hand.
Ling Xiaotian walked in slowly, his steps were very slow, his breathing was a little heavy, he walked all the way to the table, and looked at her fixedly.
"It's only been a few days before you start to be idle?" Su Baitong said softly, and she raised her head. The delicate facial features in the darkness look particularly distinct, and under the long eyelashes, the eyes seem to be plated with a layer of mercury, like a mirror, reflecting all his figures on it.
"You're not in the yamen, how can I stay." Ling Xiaotian's voice sounded like he was laughing.
Su Baitong's gaze swept around his body, and finally landed on the golden coiling dragon pattern on his chest.
It was a pattern she hated, and that bright red...... All of them disliked her.
But she was not going to tell him what she liked, for soon he would be leaving and returning to the perilous palace.
"Sit down." She said lightly.
Ling Xiaotian's body moved, and he slowly sat down with his hand on the table, his willow-like eyebrows frowning slightly.
It must have touched the wound.
"Lord Yushi came so late, what do you have to say?" Su Baitong knelt opposite him, looking businesslike.
"Nothing...... Can't you come? After the pain of the injury passed, Ling Xiaotian's face showed a playful smile again.
"Ling Xiaotian." Su Baitong said, "How much time do you have left?" ”
"Two days ......" Two days later, the people from Kyoto will arrive in Qiliang City, and now, not only Feng Zhaoyuan is on the run, but even the Qi people and the city defense map have no news.
"I have a way to help you catch Qi Ren Worm Niang." Su Baitong said word by word.
Ling Xiaotian looked at her with a smile, without the slightest expression of surprise on his face, "I know." ”
He believed her...... He had always believed in her......
I didn't ask her why, I didn't ask her for anything, I just believed her.
The thorn hidden in the depths of his heart hurt heavily, and Su Baitong lowered his eyes and avoided his gaze.
"I'll help you...... Think of it as repaying the favor you owe. She made excuses for herself.
"Actually, it's good like this." Ling Xiaotian chuckled softly, "Anyway, I'm going back to Beijing to report on my work, wouldn't it be interesting to leave a mess for them?" ”
Su Baitong was silent, he didn't expect him to refuse.
It's not that he doesn't want to catch those people, he just doesn't want her to get involved in this danger.
"I'm here tonight because of another thing." Ling Xiaotian reached out and took the candlestick on the table, before leaving, he wanted to teach her the most important thing.
He took out the fire sickle inlaid with an agate pendant and put it on the table, "Tongtong, do you want to try to light the lamp?" ”
Su Baitong's breath couldn't help but stagnate.
Ling Xiaotian's eyes flickered, "I know Tongtong is afraid of fire, but it's not a way to do it in the long run, why don't I teach you to light the lamp?" ”
He didn't want to remember her later, always in the dark. His life was already unhappy, and he didn't want his only good memory to be clouded with sadness.
Su Baitong stared at the fire sickle on the table for a long time.
She, afraid of the flames.
The pain of burning the flames of her previous life has never dissipated in her heart, and it is better to hide herself in the darkness than to suffer every day.
Ling Xiaotian got up and came behind her at some point, grabbed her hand, and picked up the fire sickle on the table.
Su Baitong retracted his hand backwards suddenly, as if the fire sickle was a hot object.
Ling Xiaotian gasped, "Tongtong, don't move, my wound hurts so much......"
Su Baitong's body froze there.
He seems to have gradually grasped his weakness, obviously he didn't hit his chest just now, but he deliberately coquetted with her and forced her to comply.
Ling Xiaotian saw that she didn't dare to move again, so he smiled and stretched out his hand from her waist to grab the flint for her.
"Try it, it won't burn yours." His voice was slower than usual, with a glowing warmth.
When Su Baitong came back to his senses, he found that he had already held the fire sickle in his hand at some point.
"Try it......" The heat of his exhalation pressed to her ear, as if a small cluster of fire was sliding down her back.
"Take your time, don't panic." He took her hand and struck the flint in his hand.
In the darkness, little sparks lit up, like stars in the night sky.
"As long as you control it properly, no matter how dangerous things are, they won't hurt you." Ling Xiaotian's voice was like a jumping flame, gradually illuminating her face, "Tongtong, I'm sure you can do it." ”
