Chapter 16: Something to Say
"Yes, slave remembers." The two maids hurriedly curtsied.
"Let's go down."
"Yes." Qingzhu and Qinglan took the handkerchief in Lu Yan's hand, picked up the basin on the table, and withdrew with interest.
Seeing the carved hollow wooden door closed, Wen Yujiao was a little embarrassed, and unconsciously took a half step back.
"Follow me." Lu Yan glanced at her, then walked straight inside with his hands behind his back.
In addition to the terrace and clean room with a view, there are three separate study rooms in front and back, separated by corridors and bamboo curtains.
Lu Yan led her through a curtain and arrived at the study where they met last time. Thinking of the incident last time, Wen Yujiao couldn't help but take a second look at the spacious mahogany table.
The man caught a glimpse of her expression, hooked the corners of his mouth, lifted a bamboo curtain on the inner wall, and said to Wen Yujiao, "Go in." ”
Behind the bamboo curtain is a water corridor, and when you walk past it, there is a study in the innermost part, which is more like a spacious bedroom than a study.
Wen Yujiao was surprised to find that this bedroom was built on the lake, and the wind was a little strong, but the scenery outside the window was unique.
It was night now, and the wind was strong on the water, so Lu Yan closed the window.
On the four walls are a whole bookcase, and in the middle of the room is a bronze hollow incense burner, and the four corners are lit with charcoal basins, and there is a faint intoxicating fragrance in the room.
Lu Yan rarely goes back to the house, and even when he comes back, he rarely goes to the back house, and mostly rests in the study in the outer courtyard, so he asks people to clean up a study and come out as a bedroom.
The windows of this room are open, and there are no curtains, couches, dressing tables, etc., which are usually found in the bedroom, except for a square double couch in the corner, and a mahogany wardrobe, which is very simple and simple, as if it is not a regular resident.
Looking at the furnishings in this house, Wen Yujiao's mind suddenly remembered what Lu Yan had done to her that day.
Thinking of the appearance of Qingzhu and Qinglan's two maids, they are outstanding among the maids, and then looking at this double sleeping couch, Wen Yujiao suddenly understood a little, and saw that Lu Yan's eyes also had some flickering flashes.
In the past, she heard that King Zhao didn't like to go to the back house, and occasionally returned to the palace, and liked to rest in the outer courtyard study.
At that time, she thought that His Royal Highness King Zhao was busy with military affairs, and he was really busy forgetting to sleep and eat, but now that she thinks about it, people are here with red sleeves and beauties as companions, so she is naturally too lazy to go to the back house.
This is also normal, not to mention a prince with a noble status, that is, her grandfather Wen Xiang, who was fifty or sixty years old, still has two warm bed maids with red sleeves and fragrance in the study. Wen Yujiao has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Lu Yan saw that she was suddenly worried for no reason, and saw that her eyes were a little more contemptuous and evasive, and she roughly guessed what she was thinking.
"Ahem!" The man coughed lightly, hugged the person with his long arms, and whispered in her ear, "Are you usable the ointment given by Doctor Zhang?" ”
When Wen Yujiao heard this, she immediately broke away from him in embarrassment, tidied up her clothes and said, "Didn't the prince say that he had something to say to his concubine?" There is something to talk about. ”
If you have something to do, just say it, don't just say something like a tiger.
"Hmm...... This king just wants to ask you...... Do you need this king to give you medicine......" Lu Yan tilted his head to look at her, his eyes were three points serious and seven points ridiculous.
Both of them have done what they should have done, what else is she going to wear? Since they're all here, do you think you can get out of the way?
King Zhao's face got closer and closer, and was suddenly blocked by her small hand.
"If the prince has no serious business, the concubine will not be accompanied." Wen Yujiao was shy and annoyed, with a small face.
"Okay, I won't tease you, this king really has something to tell you." Seeing her serious expression, Lu Yan's face also sank, and his chin pointed to the mahogany couch, "You sit down first." ”
Wen Yujiao looked around and found that there were no chairs at all in this room, and there was no couch, only the square couch, and then she turned her head and saw Lu Yan looking at her meaningfully.
She had to sit on the couch reluctantly, but she only dared to sit on the edge, and asked a little impatiently, "What does the prince want to say?" ”
This man called himself in on a snowy night, and his words were frivolous, and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was deceiving himself.
He endured it all night last night, Wen Yujiao suddenly had a bad premonition, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide tonight.
"Just now, Mama Qiu sent someone to arrest Concubine Liu and asked about the dispersal of ice and fire. Liu bit to death and said that she didn't know what poison was, and that the roasted chicken leg was bought from the street by the maid Miaozhu, and she thought that she could make Mei'er happy, so she took it to the Chunhan Courtyard. Lu Yan said, pacing to her side.
Wen Yujiao let out a "hmm" absentmindedly, and for some reason, she felt that her earlobes were slightly hot.
With Lu Yan's height, she was sitting, just up to the position on his waist.
Lu Yan suddenly reached out and rubbed her chin and asked, "Don't you want to ask this king to administer justice for you?" Liu hurt Mei'er, she should be targeting you, aren't you afraid? ”
Beirong people have high noses and deep eyes, and Lu Yan's tough and handsome face is one of the best in a thousand Beirong people, and in Liang Guo's opinion, he is even more handsome.
Looking at his high eyebrow bones and those deep and beautiful phoenix eyes, Wen Yujiao was in a trance for a moment, and then came back to her senses.
"The concubine and Mei'er didn't belong to the Zhaowang Mansion in the first place. Although they misunderstood, whether it was Concubine Liu, Concubine Yu, or anyone else, they all thought that the concubine was favored, and they naturally felt uncomfortable. If the prince wants to keep his concubine and Mei'er safe, he will ...... in the future Don't come to the spring cold courtyard less. As long as the prince does not come, the concubine will be safe. ”
Wen Yujiao blocked his hand and said a lot to herself, but the face of the man in front of her became more and more gloomy.
She usually doesn't speak, but she sees the deep reasons for this matter very thoroughly. The concubines are not naturally fierce and aggressive, and the most ruthless women fight for ...... It's just a "pet" word.
Lu Yan sat beside her gently, looked at the fire in the charcoal basin, his eyes were out of focus, and he said to himself: "My mother was also framed by someone back then, and died from the poison of ice and fire. ”
It was rare to see him in such a heart-to-heart tone, Wen Yujiao was stunned for a while and did not speak, only looked at him cautiously.
"This king wants to see if it is in broad daylight, which person with a heart like a snake and scorpion dares to bring ice and fire into the palace!" The man's eyes suddenly sank, and his tone seemed to be trying to suppress his anger.
The lights and candles in the house were flickering, the fire in the charcoal basin was melting, and the man exuded layers of warmth, Wen Yujiao suddenly felt that following him, no matter how cold the snowy night was, there was a temperature, and her mood couldn't help relaxing: "The inner courtyard of the deep palace, the clouds and waves are treacherous, in fact, it is not better than on the battlefield at all." ”
