Chapter 164: Two Thoughts
When Li Yuejiao went home, she was very upset, but she couldn't tell why she was upset.
Is it because of your own worries about Xue Zhen? Or is it just for the softness and fragility he showed in that moment?
The more Li Yuejiao thought about it, the more she felt that her steps were heavy, and tiredness surged up with sadness, grievances and unwillingness.
Look, how unproductive are you? I would still worry about him and be sad for him.
Reasoning and grievances, the moment they saw Xue Zhen, they collapsed.
Just like when I was a child, when I saw him for the first time, I just glanced at him, and I didn't know what a marriage contract was, but I suddenly understood what Qin Jin was good and what the full moon was. new
"Li Yuejiao...... You're really ......," she whispered, only half of the sentence, the second half of which was scattered in the winter wind of the northern frontier, and she didn't even hear it.
Hu Rong followed behind in confusion, just thinking that the prince and his wife had quarreled, and he didn't dare to persuade him more, he was very embarrassed.
When she walked home, the family, who had long since lost sleep, were anxiously waiting for her at home.
Seeing her come back, Qin Le breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped towards her, and asked nervously:
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? What's going on?"
Zheng Xiaoxi looked at her with a stiff face, and her body trembled slightly, for fear that her own words would cause trouble.
Li Yuejiao looked at them, restrained her desire to cry, and reluctantly smiled:
"It's okay, senior sister, I just remembered something, so I'm in a hurry to find the son."
Qin Le looked at her in disbelief, frowning slightly:
"Really...... Are you alright?"
Li Yuejiao nodded, her eyes swept over Qin Le and Zheng Xiaoxi's faces, and she suddenly became excited and said:
"Senior sister, sixth brother."
"Huh? What?" Zheng Xiaoxi asked hurriedly.
"We...... Let's go back to Beijing." Li Yuejiao's eyes were empty, as if she was looking at them, and as if she was looking past them, looking at the future that was destined to hurt others and herself, and said, "The matter of Tuntian is over, let's go back to Beijing, I miss my father."
Although Qin Le also thought about returning to Beijing, he thought that Li Yuejiao would at least stay after the spring planting, after making sure that the water conservancy and bridges were all ready. will ask to go home.
On the contrary, Zheng Xiaoxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her words.
It seems that he heard it correctly and did not cause trouble for Li Yuejiao.
"Okay, it's better to go back to Beijing sooner." Zheng Xiaoxi followed her words and said, "I'm also worried about Master now."
Li Yuejiao listened to Zheng Xiaoxi's agreement, but somehow, she couldn't control her tears, and she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
Qin Le had already seen Li Yuejiao's sadness, and he was anxious and confused, but he couldn't show it in front of the people in the courtyard, so he hurriedly walked over, gently took Li Yuejiao in his arms, and said:
"Okay, Jiaojiao, listen to you, let's go back to Beijing."
She didn't ask her why, but Li Yuejiao burst into tears the moment she hugged herself.
"Senior sister, I'm so tired."
She whispered something in her ear, and then her eyes went dark and she fainted.
"Jiaojiao!"
*
Li Yuejiao was dizzy, and she fainted for three whole days, and the whole family made a fuss, and even Wei Hong was invited to stay overnight.
By the time she woke up, it was already the afternoon of the fourth day.
The sunshine of late winter and early spring came in through the window, and the clouds were sitting on the edge of the bed, embroidering Li Yuejiao's belly pocket.
Suddenly, Yuntuan raised his head to look, and just saw Li Yuejiao's eyes just turning to her, and he was immediately overjoyed, got up and said:
"Miss woke up?"
Li Yuejiao struggled to sit up, but she didn't have any strength in her body, so she could only lie on the bed and said:
"Lift me up, I'm thirsty."
The voices are weak.
"Yes." Yun Tuan hurriedly helped her to sit up, went to pour water for her, and served
She drank it and asked softly, "What does Miss think?" Go and call Brother Zheng and Dr. Wei in."
Li Yuejiao couldn't drink it after only drinking a little water, pushed the teacup back to Yuntuan, shook her head, leaned against the bed and asked:
"How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been three days, it's weird and scary, if it weren't for Brother Zheng and Doctor Wei saying that Miss was fine, Nu and Miss Qin would have cried to death." Yuntuan remembered the people who turned on their backs that day, and remembered the fear of the past three days, and he really had palpitations.
"It's strange that I'm feeling a little hungry now," Li Yuejiao smiled reluctantly and asked, "What about Senior Sister?"
"Miss Qin kept watch all night last night, and I pushed her to sleep." Yun Tuan said, "What does the young lady want to eat?" Let's let people in and have a look."
Li Yuejiao still shook her head, sat for a moment with a loveless look, and suddenly asked again:
"What words have come from the Son of the World these days?"
"Nope."
"Where's my cousin? Have you ever been there?"
"No, Miss is like this these days, how can everyone take care of anything else?" Yun Tuan said softly, thought about it again, and asked, "Does Miss have something to tell Shizi?" The slave told him to come and find the Son?"
Li Yuejiao shook her head for the third time: "What about Sanniang? Is she coming?"
"Yesterday came," Yun Tuan said, "I'm worried about Miss too, but Shizi sent someone to look for her last night, so she's not here now."
Li Yuejiao was puzzled, frowned and asked:
"The prince didn't say what to do with her?"
"No, the person who came was not Changfeng, but Vice General Liu, who was beside the prince, came in person and led four sergeants, a big battle." Yun Tuan explained, but now her heart is on Li Yuejiao, so she didn't take this matter seriously, and when she said it, she only talked about it.
Li Yuejiao was even more puzzled, bowed her head and muttered for a moment, she couldn't think of Xue Zhen's clue to find Chen Sanniang, so she could only sigh and cheer up and say:
"Mirror, I want to look at the mirror."
Yun Tuan sighed, took the mirror out of the makeup, and held it in his hand for Li Yuejiao to see.
Li Yuejiao looked at the mirror and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar face in the mirror.
In the past three years of coma, she has lost a lot of weight visibly with the naked eye, her round face and cheekbones have popped up, and her dimples seem to be shallower.
Li Yuejiao looked at the mirror for a while, raised her hand and touched her cheekbones, sighed and said:
"Let's drink porridge...... I don't have much appetite either."
Yun Tuan listened to her willingness to ask for food, and felt more at ease at the moment, smiled and said yes, got up and went out, instructed Cui Qiao to prepare porridge and side dishes, and called Zheng Xiaoxi and Wei Hong to come in and give her Li Yuejiao a look.
Suddenly, in the small courtyard, there was another tossing and turning of people on their backs, and even Qin Le, who was sleeping lightly, woke up, and together with Tong's mother, they asked Zheng Xiaoxi and Wei Hong for a long time, and after making sure that Li Yuejiao was fine, they finally settled down.
"You," when they were all busy, Cui Qiao's side was ready to eat, Qin Le sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Li Yuejiao's appearance of having no appetite to eat, and sighed helplessly, "What is it that can't be over? As for this? Is it the son of the world and ......?"
"Senior sister," Li Yuejiao only ate half a bowl of porridge, and then she couldn't eat it anymore, and when she heard Qin Le mention Qin Le, she hurriedly stopped her words, and only said, "Senior sister, it has nothing to do with him, but now that the matter has nothing to do with him, it has long been nothing to do with him."
Qin Le opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but seeing Li Yuejiao's evasive appearance, although he was angry, he was afraid that she was sick, so he could only poke her forehead hatefully, and said helplessly:
"Forget it, I can't control you. But you said you wanted to go back to Beijing...... Really?"
Li Yuejiao was about to nod, when she suddenly heard movement outside, and then heard Yun Tuan say:
"The Son is here?"
The voice was strange and suspicious.
When the words fell, Li Yuejiao was slightly stunned, and then she heard Xue Zhen's voice say, "How is your young lady's body?"
Yun Tuan intuitively felt that Li Yuejiao's illness was related to Xue Zhen, therefore
I wasn't very happy to pay attention to him, but I didn't dare to really shake my face at Xue Zhen, so I could only say nonchalantly:
"Back to the world, the doctor said that Miss's body is fine for the time being, but she can't move."
"Temporary", "can't move" and the like, she bit her hard.
Xue Zhen smiled faintly and said through the door: "I know, Brother Zheng, these medicinal materials, you can see if they are suitable."
"Ah, thank you." Zheng Xiaoxi said busily.
「…… Yes, the prince has a heart, and he always sends things, and our young lady hasn't finished the medicine sent by the previous child, and now I send so much, is it because my young lady can't eat the medicine as a meal?"
The cloud outside the door glanced at Xue Zhen and brought a box of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, cinnamon, etc., and his words became more and more thorny, and he didn't mention a word about asking Xue Zhen to see Li Yuejiao.
Xue Zhen understood why Yuntuan was unhappy, so he didn't get angry, but after a slightly awkward silence, he said softly:
"Is your young lady awake now? I might see her?"
After Yun Tuan stabbed him, he didn't dare to be polite again, but made it difficult for Li Yuejiao, so she could only pout, squatted down and saluted:
"Then the son of the world will wait first."
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, entered the house, looked at Li Yuejiao, and asked, "Miss, the prince is here, and he brought a lot of things, Miss...... See?"
Li Yuejiao let out a breath and struggled to get up, but she was really powerless, so she could only say:
"Come in, and put the tent down."
"Yes."
Yun Tuan put down the bed tent as instructed, and when Qin Le saw this, he got up and said, "Then I'll avoid it first, and don't waste your energy too much."
Li Yuejiao smiled reluctantly and nodded yes.
Qin Le just left, and when she went out, she happened to be on the wrong shoulder with Xue Zhen, not only did she not salute, but she also gave him a blank look and snorted heavily.
Xue Zhen's footsteps stopped, looked at her and said, "Miss Qin."
Good voice.
Qin Le also stopped, continued to roll his eyes and looked at him, and said in a weird manner:
"Yo, the prince is here? The folk girl was worried about her junior sister in her heart, and she didn't see the son, so don't be angry. My junior sister is weak now, don't be picky."
After speaking, he saluted indiscriminately, turned his head and left.
Xue Zhen looked at her back helplessly and entered Li Yuejiao's house.
*
Li Yuejiao sat behind the bed tent made of cloud yarn, looking at Xue Zhen Yushu's figure in the wind, there was a sad cramp in her heart, and she wanted to cry a little, but she still held her emotions, and said in a slightly cold voice:
"Why is the Son here today?"
Xue Zhen wanted to walk over, but in the end he stood under his feet and looked at her through the bed tent.
But it's not real, it's just a vague shadow.
Li Yuejiao is not a rude person, but now that she is here, she will neither give up her seat nor tea.
Even if he didn't say it, he understood that Li Yuejiao was deliberately alienating him and didn't want to see him.
Li Yuejiao mentioned peace and departure before, and said that she would leave, but after all, due to various incidents, it could not be done; But today, when those tricks have less to do with her and her mother, it is time for her to really realize the word "leave".
His heart was faintly tingled, and he wanted to say a lot to her, but every word he wanted to say in his heart, even if he thought about it himself, was just an excuse for her to stay.
For example, from the first time he saw her, he kept her in his heart; For example, the box of dragon beard candy she gave herself; For example, he is so obsessed with her marrying him, under the so-called search for the truth, and he was full of hatred at that time, and he can't and shouldn't say selfishness.
He wanted her to be his wife, he wanted to be her husband, and he thought that when the truth was revealed, he could use his husband to ensure that she was at least alive as the "daughter of a foreign traitor".
But when the truth approached step by step, his thoughts at that time became today's joke, and he didn't even have the courage to say it.
He suddenly felt faintly nauseous, thinking
I'm going to throw up.
In the past, his heart was sick because of that inhumane selfishness; Today's heart disease is because of his hypocritical self.
He looked at her leaning on the bed through the tent, and the first sentence he finally spoke was:
"Chen Sanniang said that you are sick, and I have nothing to do in the army today, so I came to see you."
But when the words came out, he regretted it again, and his internal organs were even more painful.
Whether it was the content of this sentence, or the flat tone in which he said it, it made him even more tired of his hypocrisy.
He was so sick that he didn't even dare to tell the truth.
Li Yuejiao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xue Zhen's words and attitude, she only endured her sadness and said calmly:
"The son of the world has a heart, and I am well now."
Calmer, calmer, calmer, she can always deceive herself, lie to herself that she has long lost the first time she saw him when she was a child, the throbbing of the longing of the new marriage, and lie to herself that she is now and just wants to reconcile with him.
「…… Okay, I'll bring some herbs and see if they work."
"I don't have a shortage of medicinal herbs here, so the prince should take them back." Li Yuejiao said lightly, "Besides, there are too many things, and it's not easy to get them to the capital."
Xue Zhen was stunned for a moment, and blurted out and asked, "You, you want to go back to Beijing?"
「…… Yes." Li Yuejiao made up her mind and said this word, but her heart was even more uneasy, "Yes, Shizi, I want to go back to Beijing, after all, I am not from Anhua County, and that matter is almost the same, my father is alone in the capital, I am worried about him."
Xue Zhen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words that let her stay, so he said:
"That...... When is the girl going to go back? I'll send you."
When Li Yuejiao heard him say this, her emotions, which she could have restrained, suddenly became a little unbearable, and tears fell uncontrollably.
She hurriedly lowered her head, restrained her tears, and said:
"Leave tomorrow, the sooner the better......
But after finishing speaking, she felt that her words were like anger, and she was afraid that Xue Zhen would hear the clues, so she said again: "Has the prince found out about Mengtong's matter?"
Xue Zhen didn't want to say much, but he still said frankly:
"He...... Yesterday he died."
"What?" Li Yuejiao's tears hung on her cheeks, and she asked in surprise.
He's dead?
Why so suddenly?
