Chapter 083: Drinking Duck Soup
A moment of greed, no dreams, good sleep.
Yun Yao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers in the capital of Yiguo, she opened her eyes and found that she was still leaning on Gu Qingming's arms, and the lingering picture before falling asleep was replayed in her mind, making her blush.
She looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, full of satisfaction.
The red lanterns on both sides of the river bank are still lit, reflecting the fireworks on the horizon, and the man next to her who makes her feel at ease suddenly merge into the most beautiful scenery in the world.
"It's a new year again...... Yun Yao sighed, "Time flies so fast." ”
"Yes, time flies so fast, and it won't be long before we can get rid of the distractions of this world, go to a place where no one disturbs, and live our own peaceful life. Gu Qingming hugged Yun Yao tighter and spoke.
"General, send me back. Yun Yao listened to Gu Qingming's words and said, "For the sake of a peaceful life without fighting the world in the future, we can only continue to wait." When you have completed the Gu family's legacy, we will be able to return to peace. ”
When Yun Yao said this, a strong reluctance surged in her heart. She and Gu Qingming get together less and leave more, every time they are together, they also abide by their duties, and now that they have skin to skin, the relationship between the two is one step closer.
This is the most memorable night in her life since she entered the palace, and it is also the happiest night, because she is with the person she likes. However, no matter how reluctant they are, for the sake of the overall situation, they have to suppress their thoughts in the bottom of their hearts and live a life of forbearance.
Gu Qingming didn't move, he took a deep breath, quietly listened to the noise not far away, and suddenly wanted to leave everything behind, take Yun Yao out of this deceitful palace, and enjoy the mountains and rivers.
But the heavy responsibility of Jiangshan Sheji is still on his shoulders, Shen Che's trust, Shen Ze's entrustment, he has not yet completed it.
Struggling in his heart for a moment, and finally reason prevailed over emotion, he got up, picked up Yun Yao, slowly walked off the boat, and then walked in the direction of Yiwang Palace.
Although the position where they got off the boat now was no longer the place where they first got on the boat, although there was still a long distance from the Yiwang Palace, Gu Qingming had been holding Yun Yao, and it seemed that he couldn't hold it enough.
Fortunately, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, not the fifteenth day of the first month, there are not many people on the street, even if they see Gu Qingming and Yun Yao, they all think that it is a little couple who came out to find a quiet, and in the world of the two, they just cover their mouths and smile, and do not say much.
Walking to the vicinity of Yiwang Palace, Gu Qingming saw that there was no one around, so he performed light skills, jumped in, and took Yun Yao into Yiwang Palace, heading towards Linglong Pavilion.
The black figure walked in the Yiwang Palace like a ghost, Yun Yao didn't know how Gu Qingming did it, but in a few deep ups and downs, the two of them had already arrived at the cold palace next to the Linglong Pavilion.
Yun Yao originally wanted Gu Qingming to put her down in the cold palace, so as not to be seen and cause trouble, but before she could speak, Gu Qingming carried her and jumped over the wall and entered the Linglong Pavilion.
Gu Qingming sent Yun Yao back to the room, still entering through the window, without going through the door. After making sure that Yun Yao was safe, Gu Qingming kissed Yun Yao, then turned around and jumped out of the window to leave.
But after thousands of calculations, Gu Qingming didn't calculate that the figure he left from Yun Yao's window happened to fall into the eyes of another person.
The back window of Yun Yao's room faces the center of Yiwang Palace, that is, the direction of Suochuntai, Guangming Palace, and Fengyi Palace, but there is a small garden between it and these three palaces. The other palace concubines had to pass through this small garden to go to the Internal Affairs Office.
And Gu Qingming left from Yun Yao's back window, directly crossed the wall, and ran towards the outside of the palace, but he never thought that there happened to be a person on the road of the small garden, it was Mrs. Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi took the finch and originally wanted to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get charcoal, because the charcoal in her palace happened to run out, and she, as the operator of this palace banquet, had to keep the New Year all night, if there was no charcoal, this would not last.
But she didn't expect that when she first walked here, she saw Gu Qingming running out of Linglong Pavilion.
Of course, Jiang Yi didn't know that Gu Qingming took Yun Yao out of the palace in the middle of the night and didn't send it back until not long ago, and she didn't see Gu Qingming's appearance clearly, so she didn't know what this person looked like.
However, she was sure that the person who came out of the Linglong Pavilion was a man, and his martial arts were not weak, so he could perform light skills and leave so quickly.
At this time, the palace banquet has already ended, Shen Che is accompanying the Queen Mother to keep the New Year in Suochuntai, and Lu Yingquan has already returned to Linglong Pavilion, so it is no coincidence that this man appeared in Linglong Pavilion!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Yi's mouth, and she turned her head and asked Que'er, "Que'er, did you see anything just now?"
"The slave maid saw ...... It seems that someone came out of the Linglong Pavilion, but it was soon gone, and the slave didn't know if she was wrong. The finch replied, uncertain in her voice.
Jiang Yi was not sure herself, but when she heard Que'er say the same, it meant that someone really came out of Linglong Pavilion, otherwise it would be impossible for both of them to see it at the same time.
"What a coincidence, I saw it too. Jiang Yi said, "It seems that this Lu beauty is really not simple, it is not enough to have His Highness's favor, and he actually fornicates with a man behind His Highness's back!"
"Fornication?" Finch was shocked, "Madam, just the two of us have seen it, and there is no evidence, this can't be nonsense." If His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother know about it, and you have no evidence, I'm afraid you'll be the one who suffers. ”
"If you want evidence, won't you make one?" Jiang Yi snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, it is a new year, and it has just struck the midnight bell, and I have discovered such a secret." I see where Lu Yingquan is running this time. ”
"Yes, what is Madame going to do?" asked the finch.
"Don't worry, it's only the first day of the new year, we have been here for a long time, Lu Yingquan wants to grab the position of queen with me, I will make her unable to turn over." Jiang Yi said, "This time, even if it's an aunt, don't try to cover her." ”
After saying this, Jiang Yi continued to go towards the Internal Affairs Mansion and took the charcoal.
At this time, in the Linglong Pavilion, Yun Yao endured the discomfort of her body, asked Xiaozhi and the others to bring her some hot water, poured it in the bath bucket, and then took everyone away, took off her clothes and stepped into the bath tub and began to take a bath.
There was still a faint pain in a certain part of her body, she suddenly felt a little ashamed, but also a little sweet, she gently picked up a handful of water with both hands, slowly poured it on her body, and then stroked the marks on her body, gritted her teeth, and her face was hot.
Suddenly, Yun Yao buried her whole head in the water, trying to sober herself up, suppressing all the beautiful images in her mind, and after calming down, she resurfaced and exhaled deeply.
Yun Yaozai carefully washed his body, then dried his body, took out the ointment he had concocted, and medicated himself in the mirror.
It was a medicine to remove the traces of bruises, and the traces on Lu Yingquan's body before also disappeared quickly after smearing these medicines. She had a few extra bottles before, which was originally intended to be left for Lu Yingquan, but she didn't expect to use them on herself.
After taking the medicine, she got dressed, asked people to pour out the water in the bathtub, and went to the main hall to find Lu Yingquan.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Lu Yingquan saw Yun Yao and asked, "I thought you would have to stay until tomorrow morning." ”
"No, it's too dazzling to stay until tomorrow morning, and it's not convenient to go back to the palace, so I'll come back at night. Yun Yao said, "Do you want to keep the New Year? I'll keep it with you." ”
"No need, Your Highness is accompanying the Queen Mother to celebrate the New Year today, let's rest early. Lu Yingquan said, "Anyway, as soon as the palace gate is closed, no one knows whether there is a New Year's Eve or not." ”
"That's right. Yun Yao nodded and said, "Yingquan, is there any fuzi soup we collected from Mangkhut last time?"
"You mean that Wei Liangren asked Wan Xin to stuff Mangosteen's Shunzi Soup, the one that caused me to fake pregnancy?" Lu Yingquan asked with some confusion, "What are you going to do with something so old?"
"I ......" Yun Yao opened her mouth, but only one word was uttered, and she suddenly blushed, and it was hard to say anything more.
Lu Yingquan looked at Yun Yao's expression, and suddenly seemed to understand something in his heart, and suddenly with a mocking tone, he asked, "You won't be with General Gu...... Skin-to-skin kiss, right?"
This is a straightforward question, but for Yun Yao, it is like a fire, burning on her body and face, making her hot for a while.
She didn't even know how to answer, so she had to pretend to be angry and said, "Is there anything else?" If not, I have to find a way to ask Imperial Doctor Ye to send some." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Lu Yingquan saw that Yun Yao seemed to be really anxious, so he immediately nodded, "I kept everything I took from Mangosteen last time, and it has been useless, so I'll give it to you." ”
Lu Yingquan also knew that if Yun Yao was really asked to go to Imperial Doctor Ye to avoid Zi Tang, if this matter spread, I am afraid that there would be another storm. After all, Yun Yao is now the palace maid of Yiwang Palace, since she is a palace maid and is not favored by His Royal Highness, how can she drink the soup of avoiding children?
So this matter can't be made public, fortunately, the previous Wei Liangren asked Mangosteen to frame Lu Yingquan with Shunzi Soup, and they confiscated a lot from Mangosteen, and they have always kept it, and it is convenient to use it now.
Lu Yingquan took out the powder of the dodge soup and handed it to Yun Yao, but when he saw Yun Yao say thank you, he turned around and went to the small kitchen to get the stove and medicine jar, got water, and took it back to his room to boil the dodge soup.
Yun Yao acted cautiously after all, although there was no one in the small kitchen now, and the other palace maids and eunuchs had gathered together to celebrate the New Year, it should be no big deal, but she just didn't worry, such a thing must be covered up, if it was discovered, not only her, but even Lu Yingquan would be implicated.
Lu Yingquan was also worried about Yun Yao in his heart, so he came to Yun Yao's room, accompanied Yun Yao to boil the shunzi soup, and watched Yun Yao drink it, so he was relieved.
Yun Yao cleaned up the stove and the medicine jar, put them back in place, and thoroughly cleaned the medicine jar inside and out, leaving no traces, before returning to her room and sleeping peacefully.
And in her dream, it was not long ago, on that small boat, the scene of lingering with Gu Qingming was lingering.
