Chapter 15: Is It Still Cold?
"Back to the prince," Mama Fang hurriedly explained, "In the morning, Mama Qiu brought Zhang Yinu to see Madame, and Concubine Liu came to see our Madame at that time, and the old slave said that Madame was unwell and asked her to come back another day." When Concubine Liu left, she asked the maid Miaozhu to reward Mei'er with a roast chicken leg to eat. The old slave didn't think so much, so he let Mei'er accept it. ”
"Mama Qiu, this matter is handed over to you, be sure to find out." Lu Yan glanced coldly at Mama Qiu, who hurriedly lowered his head and said "yes".
Seeing that things were getting bigger and bigger, Wen Yujiao was a little apprehensive, thinking about calming things down, and curtsy to Lu Yan and said, "Lord Wang, the most important thing at the moment is ...... It's Mei'er who is fine, as for the rest...... The concubine doesn't plan to pursue it, anyway, we won't be able to stay for a few days......"
She counted the days every day, and felt that the people on the other side of the heron hill should be about to arrive.
At most, it will only be about twenty days. As long as nothing happens during this period of time, they will be gone in the future, and the people in the house will make trouble as much as they like.
King Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Mama Qiu with a cold face, and raised his voice: "How can my Zhaowang Mansion tolerate people who poison people?" This man has a vicious mind, and he must not stay. Mama Qiu, no matter who finds out who caused this ice and fire to disperse, I will send her to Qingyu Nunnery! ”
Qingyuan? When Mama Qiu heard this, she knew that the prince was really angry this time.
The Gaomen clan of Weizhou City will occasionally send concubines who have committed crimes to the Qingyu Nunnery, so as to save the matter from being sent to the official to investigate and make a big deal of it, which can not only punish the sinners, but also protect the family's reputation.
But unless they are guilty of fornication, murder and other serious crimes, the women of the Gaomen clan are usually not sent to Qingyu Nunnery.
Although the prince has always been indifferent to the concubines in the house, he has never been ruthless, let alone a killer, but now he wants to send people to Qingyu Nunnery for the sake of a little girl!
Mama Qiu pondered, either because the prince loved Mrs. Nachen very much, or ...... It's because the prince is still thinking about Concubine Rong's mother.
The courage of the person behind the curtain is also great, who doesn't know that Prince Zhao's most taboo is ice and fire? Usually he didn't even dare to mention it, but the man dared to use poison under his nose, as if he was deliberately provoking and provoking him to anger.
There are a lot of poisons in Beirong, why did that person choose this "Ice and Fire Scatter", Mama Qiu's thoughts turned a few times in her heart, and the two wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became deeper because of her thoughts.
Night was falling.
In the spring cold courtyard, the wind suddenly rose.
After tossing all day, Wen Yujiao stayed by Mei'er's side, feeling a sore back.
At that time, Mei'er woke up slightly, Mama Fang brought a bowl of porridge and served Mei'er to drink, Wen Yujiao was relieved, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, she heard a man coughing twice outside the door, Wen Yujiao turned her head and found that it was Lu Yan, the king of Zhao, and the slender figure stood at the door as if she wanted her to see it, but she didn't come in.
Wen Yujiao hurriedly got up and walked out of the door, saluted the brocade-robed man, and said, "Why is the prince here?" It doesn't let people pass it on. ”
Lu Yan was wearing a light cyan wide-sleeved brocade robe, wearing a black coat, standing under the corridor.
The handsome face reflected the soft lantern firelight, and a clear and elegant air flowed along the light.
"You come with me to the study in the outer courtyard, this king has something to tell you." The man's voice was as cold and dull as the night wind, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotion.
When Wen Yujiao heard about the study in the outer courtyard, she was a little stunned, "Lord, Mei'er is sick, and the concubine thinks about it...... Stay by her side, if the prince has something, it's better to talk about it here. ”
Lu Yan's gaze swept over her silhouette as if she were substance, glanced at the room behind her, and saw Mama Fang and Lu Zhu serving Mei'er.
"Isn't she awake? With the maid here, what's the use of you staying? Lu Yan couldn't help but say, pulled her down the steps, "Follow me!" ”
The snow in the courtyard had just reached their ankles, and the two of them walked to the gate of the courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and there was already a sedan chair waiting there.
Wen Yujiao was forced into the sedan chair by him, and then Lu Yan himself lowered his head and got in, and made a gesture towards Chengshu.
"Get up!" As soon as the book was written, a few small servants lifted the sedan chair.
This sedan chair is not a sedan chair sealed on all sides, but only a canopy, with blue curtains hanging on all sides.
The guards who followed the sedan chair were carrying lanterns in their hands, but it was dark in the sedan chair, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.
Wen Yujiao lifted a corner of the curtain, only to see a small piece of heaven and earth reflected by the lantern, sprinkled with many snowflakes, flickering and flickering, like a flying insect Fluttershy chasing the firelight.
She rubbed her hands together and exhaled a breath of white air, feeling a burning gaze coming from her side, but she didn't dare to turn her head to look at him.
Lu Yan just stared at her, silent.
The two sat side by side, occasionally touching each other due to the shaking of the sedan chair, but both of them pretended not to care.
When he arrived at the outer study, Lu Yan walked in front, and as soon as he stepped into the house, two maids, Qingzhu and Qinglan, greeted him, holding a warm basin of water and a wet cloth in their hands, one took the big water in Lu Yan's hand, and the other served Lu Yan to clean his hands and face.
Wen Yujiao followed behind him awkwardly, watching him being served. She put her hands in front of her, feeling that she couldn't advance or retreat, so she could only hide behind and blow the cold wind not far away.
"Come here!" The blue-robed man suddenly turned his head, greeted her, brought her closer, pulled the woman who was shivering with cold in front of him, wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, brushed the snowflakes off her forehead and hair, washed her hands with warm water, and then carefully dried her two little hands that were frozen red, held them in his hands and blew a breath of white air, and asked, "Is it still cold?" ”
"No...... It's not cold anymore. Wen Yujiao was flattered and panicked by his care.
In the sedan chair just now, the two of them didn't say a word, and Lu Yan had a cold expression all the time, and she didn't act too closely, and she couldn't figure out his intention of calling her to come to the study for a while.
As a result, you suddenly warmed your hands again?
Sure enough, this man was hot and cold, and people couldn't guess.
Qingzhu and Qinglan glanced at each other and stood aside in shock.
How has the prince ever served a woman to clean his hands and face? He also warmed her hands, and his voice was extremely gentle, as if she had suddenly changed her character.
In the past, there were many women around the prince, whether it was the concubines in the back house, or some nameless dancing girls and singers, the prince occasionally took people to the water pavilion.
Just like when I invited His Royal Highness King Xiang to the banquet today, I also invited a few dancing girls to help the fun. But if you want to take someone back to the outer study, except for Mrs. Chen, the two little maids have really never seen anyone else.
Lu Yan saw that the two maids looked puzzled, so he instructed the two of them: "If you see me bringing Mrs. Chen again in the future, everything that is prepared for me must also be prepared for Mrs. Chen." Remember? ”
