Chapter 15: Whispering Outside the Window in the Late Night
The Queen Mother originally thought that although Lin Yu's health did not seem to be very good, since the prince was so insistent and the daughter of his own family, it was not unavoidable to marry as the crown princess, and maybe he would be able to recuperate well in the future.
But now that it hasn't been done, the prince can sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night to see her, with such influence, in the future, will this be a virtuous queen or a demon queen?
For a moment, she couldn't help but hesitate.
β¦β¦
Lin Yu woke up from his sleep and saw that the room was pitch black, but there was a firelight outside the window, and someone else was whispering.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she habitually turned to look at the side, and found that it was empty, lonely and cold, and then she came back to her senses in a trance, remembering that Cangtao could no longer be by her side.
She had a nightmare, and she could no longer push him awake and complain to him, but instead - he was now part of her nightmare.
She was about to rush out of her mouth with a "Ah Tao", but finally swallowed it in time and became: "Ah Lu? β
But there was no response.
As her personal maid, Bai Lu should stay in the cubicle at night, Lin Yu got out of bed and groped her way towards the back of the screen, but saw that only the futon and pillow were left on the small couch behind the screen.
Bai Lu was not there.
And the voice coming from outside the house was very familiar to Lin Yu.
One was Bai Lu's voice, and the other was the other......
"What's going on?"
The voice...... Is it Zhu Rongzhan's voice?
How did he end up here?
Didn't you hear it wrong?!
Lin Yu was stunned, and hurriedly ran to the window, listened with bated breath, and heard Bai Lu repeating the words of the doctor invited in the evening: "...... Some doctors said it was cold, some said it was fever, some doctors said it was acupuncture, some doctors said it was necessary to take a medicated bath, and some doctors said it was necessary to let blood...... For the sake of safety, the old man only let the young lady drink a few doses of medicine for the time being, but it never got better. β
Lin Yu naturally poured out those medicines.
Zhu Rongzhan was extremely annoyed when he heard this: "What kind of quack doctors are they!" β
Bai Lu said in a low voice: "Your Highness, these doctors are already the most famous in the Jingshi......
"I know that there is a famous miracle doctor among the people." Zhu Rongzhan said: "I have already sent someone to invite ......."
Hearing this, Lin Yu frowned, only feeling that the importance shown in his words exceeded common sense in any case.
Moreover, in the middle of the night, how could he be in the Lin Mansion?
How could he be talking to Bai Lu?
When did he get in touch with Bai Lu?
He and Bai Lu were connected so quickly?
Obviously when they met in the morning, Bai Lu kept his head down and didn't squint, and he didn't seem to throw a look at her, but he was outside her house at night, meeting in private?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's really amazing.
Lin Yu did a lot of calculations, but she didn't calculate this - she only thought that pretending to be sick could delay the will of the palace, but she didn't expect that she could directly attract the prince.
Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that she was sickβalthough not really sickβbut felt that he could use this as an excuse to get close to Bai Lu?
Lin Yu sighed in his heart: If you look for Bai Lu, you will find Bai Lu, and you have to use her as a cover, as if you are here to care about her condition.
If this matter spreads, Lin Yu really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't tell.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu opened his mouth and interrupted the conversation between the two outside: "Ah Lu, who are you talking to?" β
Voices outside the hospital stopped.
After a while, Bai Lu hesitated a little and said, "Miss...... No one. β
Lin Yu thought to herself, could it be that I haven't woken up from a dream and have hallucinations?
She pushed open the window and looked out into the courtyard.
In the moonlight, I saw that the Xifu begonias in the courtyard were blooming warmly. Bai Lu stood alone under the tree, carrying a lantern with a long branch, and said uneasily: "Miss forgive me, the slave and maid can't sleep at night, so they ...... So he went out alone to look at the flowers. β
There was indeed no one else around her, but Lin Yu had clearly heard Zhu Rongzhan's voice before.
In this courtyard, there is no other hiding place except behind the tree, Zhu Rongzhan has inconvenient legs and feet, and it is impossible to leave or go up the tree in just a few breaths, right?
Lin Yu walked away from the window, pushed the door out, and also walked into the courtyard.
Bai Lu hurriedly rushed over to illuminate her, trying to persuade her to go back: "Miss, the night is heavy and the dew is heavy, you are still sick, you can't blow the wind......"
Indeed, if the two of them are secretly having a private meeting, then it is indeed not the right time for her to wake up, in order to prevent everyone from being embarrassed, it is a good strategy to go back and continue to lie down.
But she was really worried that if she was lying down, she would lie down in the East Palace.
Lin Yu said: "It's okay, I have my own measure." What time is it? β
Bai Lu said in a low voice, "It's time for it." β
When?
The palace gate has been locked, if Zhu Rongzhan is really here, is he the prince now, or is he the prince whose status has been shaken, and he even ignores the palace rules for the sake of Bai Lu? Don't even care about possible reprimands?
If Bai Lu is really so important to him, then you might as well talk to him straight to the point.
Lin Yu made up his mind and walked straight towards the begonia tree, and at this moment, suddenly a gust of night wind blew by, blowing down the rain all over the sky.
In the fragrance of flowers and leaves, a touch of clear and slightly astringent white sandalwood incense is mixed in.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, someone sighed softly and took the initiative to turn out from behind the tree.
The crown of begonia flowers is like clouds, dotted with green branches, and it is very elegant, but the flowers and branches are splendid, like clouds, and it is not as amazing as this young man in brocade.
Zhu Rongzhan is dressed in purple tonight, such a strong color, ordinary people can't suppress it, and it will look vulgar, but he is lined with skin like jade, luxurious and cold, and the prince in Lin Yu's memory is more and more similar.
It is said that enjoying flowers under the moon and watching beauties under the lights have a unique flavor. And tonight the moonlight is gentle, the lanterns exude a dim and warm halo between the two, the lights are beautiful, the flowers are flourishing, and the beauty is bright, Lin Yu looked at this scene and thought to himself, such a young man Langjun would have appeared in the spring boudoir dreams of countless girls, if Bai Lu admired him, it was no wonder that her.
Zhu Rongzhan soothed: "Don't be afraid, lady, it's me." β
Lin Yu frowned and said, "Now that it's time, why is His Highness still outside the palace?" Your Highness is here, why don't you see my parents accompanying you for such a big event? β
"I didn't let them know." Zhu Rongzhan said: "I'm afraid that people will know that I came to the door late at night, which will hinder your reputation." β
Lin Yu said in his heart: This is like words.
If he blatantly came to the door, even if there was no holy decree in the palace to give marriage, with his attitude, I was afraid that his parents would also make up their minds to marry her to the East Palace.
But how did he get in without alerting anyone?
Bai Lu explained to him: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about you, and as soon as he heard that you are seriously ill, he hurried to see you......"
Zhu Rongzhan was originally staring at Lin Yu intently, but at this moment, he moved his eyes to look at her, and said with a calm expression: "Shhh β
His Ah Yu hadn't spoken to him for a long time, so outsiders shouldn't bother.
Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and obediently lowered his head and remained silent.
Lin Yu looked at this scene, and only felt that they might have other tacit understandings in private, and even more felt that they wanted to draw a line with the prince: "But why did His Highness come?" β
"I'm so worried. I heard the news that you are too sick to be able to afford it, and the medicine is useless, and I ......"
Lin Yu lowered her eyes and said: "The little girl is stupid, it's just that the little girl and His Royal Highness only have one relationship this morning, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... Why? β
Zhu Rongzhan was silent for a moment.
Another gust of night breeze blew, and he suddenly stretched out his hand towards Lin Yu, startling her to retreat. saw his fingers softly, twisting a wind-blown begonia from her hair.
He said in a low voice: "Lady Lin, can you believe in the past life and this life?" β
