CHAPTER XXXI
Yao Pu sat in the carriage, his fingers clutching his long sleeves, he had followed the first emperor to the battlefield, and he had seen countless weapons. If he was not mistaken, it should have been an arrow that flashed in the cold light in Taihe Palace just now.
Who else but the emperor can place guards in the imperial palace? It's obvious who you're dealing with in this way......
And as soon as he thought of this possibility, Yao Pu suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his fingers kept tightening. With a crisp sound, Yao Pu suddenly felt a pain in his hand, he looked down, the jade wrench on his thumb was broken into two sections, and the broken half of the jade crushed in the palm of his hand was deeply pierced into the flesh, dripping blood.
Out of the imperial city, and then walk twelve miles to the prime minister's mansion.
Without waiting for the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to step forward to help, Yao Pu stepped on the pestle and got out of the car, his face was gloomy, his figure was not as tall as usual, and the sound of "popping" continued, and when Qiu Qi stepped forward with the lamp, everyone realized that his left hand covered by the sleeve was dripping blood.
"Prime Minister, you're injured!" A servant exclaimed.
Qiu Qi hurriedly greeted him, looking calm: "Family master, hurry up and go in." ”
Yao Pu nodded imperceptibly and walked in.
Qiu Qi looked at the people behind him and ordered: "Everyone understands the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and tonight's incident should not have happened, leaving two people to clean up the blood stains on the ground, and the others will go back to watch the night." ”
"Yes."
Qiu Qi was not worried about Yao Pu, and followed after giving the order, but before she stepped into Yao Pu's courtyard with her front foot, she heard a cold voice: "Stop." ”
Qiu Qi retracted his feet and bent down: "The head of the family." After the salute, Qiu Qi got up and looked over, there was no lamp in the courtyard, only the candle was clear, Qiu Qi saw Yao Pu standing there, his head down, looking at the orchid without saying a word, his face was hidden in the dark, the jade crown on the ink hair, and the hosta with the crown were shining in the moonlight.
"Master, take care of your wounds."
Yao Pu: "......"
"The head of the house?" Qiu Qi shouted at him again.
"Qiu Qi, you go down, you don't have to be on duty tonight, the wound will be dealt with."
"Yes, Master."
Qiu Ji turned around to leave, but after thinking about it, she put the lantern in her hand on the ground and left.
Yao Pu bent down, his injured hand caressed the most beautiful orchid, the blood beads soaked into the soil little by little, his right hand trembled, and he gently pinched off one of the petals.
He muttered, "Your Majesty...", in a very soft voice, as ethereal as smoke, and ignorant at night.
Yao Pu grabbed the petal flower in his hand, and sighed for a moment in his heart, although he had taken the hangover pill in advance, but the drug in the wine was unexpected, if the emperor in his arms struggled a moment later, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would do anything beyond the norm next.
Yao Pu sighed deeply, paced back to the house, he went straight to the statue of the saint who was enshrined in the incense candle, his right hand was opened, and the petal fell melodiously into the incense ash, he did not kneel down again, and for the first time looked up at the sage and master standing on it, a pair of eyes stared closely, and then only bowed down and bowed, blowing out the incense candle.
……
Inside the Deqing Palace.
Jiang Churan didn't know Yao Pu's state of mind at all, she opened the brocade bag and took out a bead chain, Jiang Churan looked at it in the candlelight for a long time, it was decorated with nine pearls, she held her head, and played with those beads and thought secretly: This Yao Pu won't lie to her, right......
But after thinking about it: probably not, after drinking the wine and drugs, where is the brain to deceive her?
Jiang Churan looked down, her eyes suddenly paused, she pulled back the largest bead, pinched it up, and found that there were two words carved on it, and she said to Yun Zhi: "Yun Niang, you hold the candlestick closer." ”
Jiang Churan approached, squinted his eyes, and said unconsciously: "...... 沄渘. "It's my nickname.
She was a little relieved, the world knew that she was qualified and dared to call it only her mother Jiang Junlan.
"Yun Niang will help me bring it."
Jiang Churan stretched out his hand towards Yun Zhi, leaking his wrist, Yun Zhi stepped forward, knelt down, and fastened the bead chain to her, Jiang Churan shook it twice, and asked with a smile: "How?" ”
Yun Zhi stared at the girl's wrist, and the pearl rarely set off the girly girl of the emperor in front of her: "It is very compatible with Your Majesty." ”
Jiang Churan was playing with this beautiful little object, and suddenly remembered something, she looked at Yun Zhi: "Yun Niang, do you say that I should also give the prime minister a gift, he put a lot of blood this time." ”
Yun Zhi knelt behind her, holding a gilded jade comb to smooth her hair, and the hand felt exceptionally good like silk: "Naturally there is no need, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, even if it is a punishment or a reward, let alone just take back your own things." ”
Jiang Churan's little head nodded: "Yes." ”
Yun Zhi put the jade comb back into the mirror, got up and helped Jiang Churan up: "Your Majesty, rest early, there will be an early dynasty tomorrow." ”
Jiang Churan nodded and got up and walked through the Purple Sandalwood Bogu frame, the long skirt dragged to the ground, Yun Zhi took off her robe and put it on the truss, turned around and put down the curtain on the dragon bed again, the sound of the tassel colliding was like knocking on the ice jade, I don't know if it was too much in the Taihe Palace, it really made Jiang Churan feel a little sleepy.
There was a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and Jiang Churan thought vaguely: It should be in the smoke cage.
After a while, Yun Zhi heard the slow breathing of the people in the tent, with a shallow smile on his face, and thought in his heart: The calming incense prepared by Xu Ergongzi is really good.
Once again, the little emperor tucked the quilt into the corners, and she retreated lightly.
And Jiang Churan, who was sleeping, frowned slightly at this moment, obviously dreaming:
Jiang Churan frowned and looked at the surrounding environment, and quickly came to the conclusion that this was not the Imperial Palace, so... Where is she? Just thinking about it, she tentatively took a few steps forward, and the scene in front of her suddenly changed greatly, and what appeared in front of her was an atrium with embroidered carvings, and the courtyard was surrounded by carved screens in all directions.
She hesitated for a while, stepped forward, stopped in front of the screen painted with cold plums, a figure was reflected on it, and she whispered: "Visiting late at night, alarming the living, the master is not strange." ”
Then she heard a warm voice that she could no longer familiarize: "Your Majesty." Yao Pu walked out from behind the screen and stared at Jiang Churan with lowered eyes.
"It turned out to be a teacher." Xu is thinking of the matter of Taihe Palace, Jiang Churan's words are obviously not confident enough, and his heart is empty.
Yao Pu stared at her tightly, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Jiang Churan looking up at him, so he turned sideways and made a way and spoke again: "Your Majesty, go in and have a look?" ”
Jiang Churan didn't speak, Yao Pu didn't wait for her to react, took her hand and walked in, Jiang Churan was startled by his sudden movement, and couldn't help but struggle: "Yao Pu, you are bold." ”
Yao Pu didn't want her, and walked straight to the inside that was deliberately covered by four screens, and when Jiang Churan saw it clearly, he was stunned there, it was actually a garden of orchids, but it was a pity that everything was prosperous this night, but the clear light of the high moon alone shone on a few orchids, and the cold frost shattered the ground.
Yao Pu didn't let go of her hand, his fingers deliberately hooked upward, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he touched the beaded chain.
Jiang Churan suddenly came back to her senses, shook off his hand, the bead chain in her hand made a jade-like sound, and her tone returned to the indifference of the emperor in the past: "Yao Xiang's orchids are well planted. ”
Yao Pu looked at her silently, suddenly turned around, stretched out his big palm and folded down an orchid, Jiang Churan stared at his movements with some vigilance, only to find that Yao Pu was still wearing the official uniform at the banquet, she looked down at herself, and suddenly her eyes dimmed, only a bed coat.
Yao Pu walked towards her, Jiang Churan was stared at by him, and couldn't help but take a step back, and Yao Pu saw that she wanted to run away, strode forward and grabbed her arm, and couldn't help but insert the orchid in her hand between her temples.
"Your Majesty is indeed more beautiful than the most beautiful orchid of the minister." Yao Pu's eyes showed a hint of plunder.
"Yao Pu! I don't know if you can afford the sin of great disrespect? Jiang Churan raised his hand to pick off the orchid and threw it on the ground mercilessly.
Yao Pu didn't seem to be afraid of her threat, squatted down, picked up the orchid, and sighed, "Your Majesty can't throw it away if you don't like it." ”
He stood up and stroked the unnecessary dust with his sleeve, Yao Pu did not put it on Jiang Churan again, but put the orchid back in his sleeve, he took a step forward, grabbed Jiang Churanhao's wrist violently, and leaked the bead chain, Yao Pu's eyes flashed with amazement: "It is really suitable for Your Majesty." ”
Jiang Churan was panicked and found that she couldn't move, she looked at Yao Pu in front of her, still with that warm and jade-like face, but she felt extremely strange: "Yao Pu, what have you done, don't let me go quickly." ”
Yao Pu approached her, bent down and looked at the emperor at eye level: "If the minister doesn't hand over this bead chain, His Majesty will kill the minister, right?" ”
Jiang Churan was shocked, how did Yao Pu know? But she would never admit it at this moment: "The teacher is... What do you laugh about? How could I kill my most powerful prime minister for the sake of a single bead play? ”
Yao Pu obviously didn't believe it, his eyes were as black as the boundless night behind him, and he was crazy: "Your Majesty will only admit that the minister is your teacher when he needs it, or when he is weak-hearted." ”
Jiang Churan choked on his words, swallowed his saliva and didn't know what to reply.
She was used to staying in a high position, and at this moment, facing Yao Pu, who was a little stunned, Jiang Churan's nose was dripping with beads of sweat, and her red lips snorted lightly: "I... I won't kill you. ”
Seeing that the little emperor was still lying, the green tendons on Yao Pu's hands could not be smoothed out, Jiang Churan looked at the handsome face in front of him and suddenly enlarged, and Yao Pu actually kissed him directly......
Jiang Churan exclaimed, sat up suddenly, and it took a while for her eyes to regain clarity, and there was some wet hair on her forehead, she looked around and confirmed that it was her own bedroom that unloaded.
"Yun Niang, Yun Niang!"
Yun Zhi heard the voice of the little emperor in the hall, and hurriedly put on his clothes and entered.
"Your Majesty, the slave is here."
Jiang Churan only felt ridiculous when he remembered the dream just now, and his tone was a little flustered: "National teacher, bring the national teacher over to see me." ”
Yun Zhi looked at Jiang Churan's appearance, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the palace people to Xuanqing Palace to invite.
