Chapter 38: The Starry Sky
Yun Yanzheng suddenly had a stretched smile on the corner of his lips, and he felt extremely relaxed in his heart, sweeping away the hardship and bitterness in his previous memories.
"This is Lushan Villa?" She asked, somewhat uncertain.
"Hmm." He replied lightly and said, "Your Majesty asked how to regulate Yun Shuai's body?" Gu said that he wanted to be quiet and free of idle people, and the environment was quiet and elegant, so he gave Yun Shuai to come here to recuperate. ”
"How many days have I been asleep?"
"Five days."
Yun Yanzheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What kind of medicine did you give me?" ”
"Is it a little late to care about this now?" He glanced back at her, with an intriguing smile in the black paint, "With the plan of the Nine Heavens Riding Commander and the eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom, it shouldn't be so careless. ”
"Between life and death, facing someone like you, I have to gamble." She also replied with a smile, and the phoenix eyes with slightly raised corners of her eyes were full of teasing.
"Someone like me? Is it good or bad for you? Gu Xi's tone was as fluctuating as the wind, and it was even more difficult to understand his emotions.
Yun Yanzheng's heart was gently plucked, crispy, numb, faint, and apprehensive, and her fingers gently crossed the pear petals in front of her. From his appearance to now, as far as she is concerned, it is like the wind in the sky, the moon in the clouds, the snow on the top of the mountain, untouchable, incomprehensible, unattainable, even if people are by her side at the moment, the feeling of coldness, mystery, and alienation is still so clear, so clear that they seem to be separated by a secluded galaxy, and feel that they should not think crankily, they will be wrong, and said with a smile: "If you are an enemy, it is naturally the worst thing in this world; But as a friend, it should be the best thing in the world, don't you think? ”
"Sometimes being an enemy is the best meeting; Being friends is the worst encounter. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile, and there seemed to be a faint cloud of smoke flying in his eyes, but his face was so quiet and leisurely, as if he was just saying a joke casually.
But her heart was like a cloud, and she couldn't help but feel guilty when she remembered her and her third brother's plan against him. Since they met, they had never seen what he wanted, but they had treated him again and again with a scheming heart, and he did not resist, did not resent, did not have the ability to perceive these mental strategies, but seemed to really do not care and did not mind.
So what kind of mood did he have to fellowship with them, open, lonely, and disdainful?
If it is true that his presence was just an accident and had no purpose in coming, then were they no longer worthy to be his confidants?
I'm sorry!
She couldn't pronounce this sentence. It contains too many thoughts, too many calculations, and it is not a sentence or two that can be explained clearly.
"The Gu poison on her body has been unraveled, Your Majesty has authorized the eldest princess to stay here for a while and then return to the barracks." Gu Xi pillowed his hands behind his head, and said in a relaxed tone, he knew the world well, but he did not sink in it.
Yun Yanzheng sighed softly in her heart, she couldn't and couldn't chase such a calm and leisurely elegance, or did she dare to break free from the fierceness that was imprisoned in her and let it go?
"It's a good idea to be lazy for a few days." She whispered indifferently, but the slight pick-up of Qingying's phoenix eyes swept a trace of scheming.
She has been working step by step since she was a child, and she has gone deep into her bone marrow, and she can't tolerate real relaxation, even if she doesn't think about it deliberately, that kind of calculation will still naturally rise to her heart. Now the court and harem must be reorganized, if she is in a hurry to go back to control the military power, she can only arouse the suspicion of the emperor more and more, it is better to have a good time in this Luming Villa. The slower the body recovers, the more advantageous, and after the crisis, there will always be someone to worry about those troubles in Kyoto, so she has nothing to worry about, as long as she prevents others from taking advantage of the problem.
"Thank you!" Yun Yanzheng grabbed a handful of pear petals, put them close to his lips and blew them lightly, and a cloud of snow rose up at random like broken snow, turning into a cloud of smoke. This is a childhood game, so blowing a breath, watching those petals fall far away, it seems that the uncertainty in my heart will also be taken away, and at this moment I still can't help but chuckle out loud for this innocent idea, and there is a happy smile in my eyes.
"How can you say thank you?" Gu Xi turned his head to look at her very childish behavior, imagining what kind of expression she had on her face when she was young when she blew the petals in her hand? Empress Wei Guoxian must have died when she was five years old, and the five-year-old child held the petals in both hands and blew them away, did there already tears in her eyes? Had she ever had a real laugh before?
A slight ripple appeared in his calm expression, but in an instant, it seemed to be submerged in the dark bottomless. Who doesn't have some unspeakable sadness in their hearts? A clear smile appeared on Gu Xi's face, and his pupils returned to their usual indifference.
"Thank you for giving me Tao Xun......" Yun Yanzheng only wondered if he had mistaken the look in his eyes, paused for a moment, and then sighed: "It's a pity that I still broke it." ”
A Tao Xun represents too many things, and she can't say it frankly. One of his Tao Xun will make each other indescribably entangled in the eyes of the emperor, he presses the emperor's attention to him, his own life and death, guarantees her survival, and guarantees the emperor's trust in her. With a single hair and a whole body, they are now like two grasshoppers on a rope, and that one Tao Xun seems to be that vital rope.
There is also the medicine in Tao Xun, if she hadn't broken it, she wouldn't have been infected with this almost fatal Gu poison.
He naturally understood what she meant.
Gu Xi didn't say anything, but his eyes were as clear as water, and he stared at her with a shallow smile.
In the midst of the pear blossoms, this young man who is as weak as snow is rendered to be exquisite. Whether he is smiling or staring; Whether he frowned or showed his face, he was so moving and penetrating, as if he had received the love of God, and gave all the best things in this world, all gathered on him alone, no matter what it was, no one could take half of the brilliance from him.
Can I have another Tao Xun?
I pondered this sentence in my heart for a long time, but finally I couldn't say it. Yun Yanzheng's heart was pounding, as if there was a bright stone standing under the calm water, there were too many worries, afraid that his words would break the peace between each other at the moment, afraid that all his feelings were just weakness spawned by the suppression of this crisis and not real. After thinking about it, the words that finally came out of his mouth were: "Did Huang Ying hand over the prescription?" ”
"Your Majesty only asked Gu if she could remove the Gu poison on the eldest princess, and then gave her a glass of fake poisonous wine, and asked her to secretly send her out of the palace." Gu Xi told the truth softly and slowly, his eyelids were half-closed, and the corners of his lips pursed into a playful smile.
Yun Yanzheng's face was silent, but the thoughts in his heart changed and changed, and finally they all turned into a long sigh.
Luming Mountain Resort is located in the suburbs of Kyoto, and the days here seem quiet and quiet.
In addition to drinking medicine and reading books, Yun Yanzheng walked among the flowers in the other garden at will, and occasionally played against Gu Xizhizi; Occasionally boil water and make tea with him; occasionally talk to him about books and Taoism; Occasionally stargazing with him; Occasionally reckoning with him on the calendar; Occasionally set up a sand table with him.
These many occasional times were spread over the seven days and seven nights.
It is also these many occasional times that let each other know each other better. Yun Yanzheng couldn't help but admire more and more, as long as she could come up with something to ask for, he could analyze it for her, up to astronomy, stars, mountains and rivers geography; down to the national policy, commerce, trade, cultivation and iron smelting, and literature to poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting; Wu Zhi arranges the troops to arrange bows, swords and arrows, every word is Bo Gu Tong Jin, galloping vertically and horizontally, thought-provoking, and introducing deep thought.
In the afternoon of this day, the apricots and plums outside the window are white, and the new green is green.
The housekeeper of the outer courtyard came to report, and the prince of the Zhenfang Houfu came to visit, and he was already waiting in the front hall at this moment.
Yun Yanzheng commanded, put down the "Getaway" he was looking at in his hand, got up from the Xiangfei chair, and let the maid pinch at will. After a pause before leaving, he reached out and picked up the idle cloak on the shelf and tied it to his body, and then walked out of the Dongyuan wing room and walked to the living room in the front yard.
Under the plaque of "Zhuqing Lanwan", a hall is elegantly and quaintly arranged, and the incense is pleasant.
On the first place next to the left hand in the hall, Chu Ruirong was tasting the Longling snow buds of the season.
As Yun Yanzheng walked into the hall with light footsteps, he slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up with a gentle expression, elegant demeanor, and graceful and luxurious like a Lanzhi jade tree. Looking at her from a distance with her robe and beautiful palace costumes, she approached, her eyes turned around on her brows, Shu Ya's face, which was already ruddy, and said with a slight smile: "The county lord has an excellent complexion, and he looks safe and sound." ”
Yun Yanzheng's footsteps did not stop, but he was slightly stunned in his heart, and walked straight to the main seat and sat down, only then looked at him, and said with a smile: "Chu Shizi, are you here to visit the palace on the orders of the emperor?" ”
Chu Ruirong's noble face looked a little lonely, and he said in a low voice: "If you don't receive the emperor's order, you won't be allowed to come?" ”
A kind of gambling alienation inexplicably permeated between the two, making the air in the room seem to become stagnant, so oppressive that people can't breathe.
Yun Yanzheng coughed lightly, but did not make a sound, only took the tea on the side and sipped lightly, half-lowering his eyes.
Chu Ruirong listened to her cough from time to time, looked at the windswept robe that looked a little thin after the illness, and was a little worried in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper: "Are you feeling better?" ”
"It's no big deal, just a little more time to recuperate." Yun Yanzheng said lightly, holding the teacup in his hand, his face was slightly pale.
"Shall I escort you back to the County Lord's Mansion to recuperate? It's closer to me and Yan Jin in Kyoto, and I'm ...... We're all worried about you. Chu Ruirong took two steps forward towards her, smelling the soft incense in the room, and his eyes were filled with unmistakable concern and tenderness.
