Chapter 141
The smoke and rain were misty, and the carriage clattered on the bluestone slabs.
The carriage was warm, Liang Tan took off his big hat, held the soup woman in one hand, and warmed his stomach in small sips of hot tea in the other.
Through the distant rain curtain, Chunmian, who was sitting on the wheel, found a person who seemed to be lying in the rain not far away, and Chunmian shuddered: "Miss, there seems to be a person lying in front." ”
Liang Tan sipped the tea, as if she knew it in her heart, and she ordered lightly: "Ignore him." ”
The coachman answered, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and prepared to go around.
In the noisy rain, the sound of horses' hooves was slightly chaotic.
He raised his hand, quickly took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and with a few fingers, the blade was unsheathed, and he saw the right time to slash at the horse's leg.
With a neighing roar in the sky, the horse rampaged uncontrollably in the rain, and saw that the horse's hooves were about to step on the man's body, and the spring sleep on the wheel screamed in horror.
The coachman blushed and grasped the reins, and when the horse's hooves were about to step down, he pulled back a little for half a minute, but the heavy horse's hooves trampled on his waist and abdomen, leaving a huge horseshoe print, and his robe was dirty, full of blood, which slid over his forehead, and was washed away by the downpour.
- Just a few centimeters, and the horse's hooves will stomp on his chest.
The coachman tried his best to control the frightened horse, and it took a long time for the horse to calm down.
Chunmian looked at Liang Tan in the car at a loss: "Miss, our horse seems to have stepped on him......"
When the frame stopped steadily, Liang Tan got out of the carriage with an umbrella and walked to him, only then did he see his appearance clearly.
The complexion is cold and white, it is the kind of cold and thin white without blood, the whole person is two points thinner than a normal man due to malnutrition, looking at the embarrassed Zhao Xingzhan, Liang Tan's heart flickered, and the wrist holding the umbrella was suddenly held by a hand covered with scars.
Zhao Xingzhan grabbed her hand tightly, raised his head, his face was extremely pale, and he smiled miserably at Liang Tan's lips, and then his body fell on top of her.
Liang Tan frowned slightly, asked the coachman to lift him up, covered his big coat, and looked at the man in front of him with complicated eyes.
Caught off guard, she met a pair of light brown eyes.
Liang Tan seemed to be suppressing the emotions churning in his heart, and lowered his voice and ordered: "Spring Sleep, take him back to the house." ”
Zhao Xingzhan slowly closed his eyes, his brows tightened suddenly, and his pale lips were slowly pursed, as if it was too painful, Zhao Xingzhan tilted his head on Liang Tan's shoulder.
Chunmian had never seen Zhao Xingzhan, nor had he ever seen his own young lady show such a look, Chunmian asked in a low and cautious manner: "Miss, do you recognize him?" ”
Liang Tan's eyes were calm, and he replied very calmly: "I don't recognize it." ”
Chunmian sat on the side, and she looked at the sick man leaning on the young lady's shoulder: "Is it inappropriate for men and women to kiss or not......?"
Liang Tan didn't move, and still let him lean on himself: "It's okay." ”
"But miss, aren't we going to find His Royal Highness King Xing?"
Liang Tan did not answer.
Chunmian knew that he was talkative, so he asked the coachman to turn around and go home.
Seeing that the rain outside the car was getting lighter, Liang Tanwan sighed.
Liang Tan came to this world by accident three months ago, her identity is the Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Dynasty, her task is to help the down-and-out male protagonist ascend to the throne smoothly, but I didn't expect Zhao Xingzhan to kill the entire Prime Minister's Mansion after he ascended the throne, although the mission was successful, but it was also declared a failure.
And she, again, is back to square one.
Only then did Liang Tan know that Zhao Xingzhan ascended the throne and the entire family of the Prime Minister's Mansion could be preserved, which could be regarded as a success of the mission.
If one of the two is missing, she will always be in this world, never able to get out.
As Liang Tan, who has already accompanied Zhao Xingzhan once, she knows very well that Zhao Xingzhan's background is bleak but he acts ruthlessly.
Zhao Xingzhan, the ninth son of the emperor, his biological mother is unknown, he was born by a locust plague from the sky, flooded in the south, and drought in the north, which was regarded as a bad omen by the royal family, so Zhao Xingzhan was born and thrown into the cold palace, and even the name was taken for the people of the Jade Saucer Palace.
Last time, she didn't have too much direct contact with Zhao Xingzhan, and Zhao Xingzhan was a forbearant master, under Liang Tan's guidance from afar, Taoguang raised obscurity for many years, killed his father and brother, and ascended to the throne, but he was too good at dormancy and disguise, and after he took power, Liang Tan could no longer control the development of the situation, which led to the suffering of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The worst thing is that the last time she wore here, she didn't know that there was a bug in this world, she didn't know that Zhao Xingzhan had mind reading skills, as long as it was within ten zhang, Zhao Xingzhan could hear her heart.
It seems that it is safer to keep Zhao Xingzhan by his side.
And she still has to set up a white rabbit character for herself, so that she can deal with Zhao Xingzhan, a vicious dog cub.
The carriage stopped steadily at the small door of the backyard, Zhao Xingzhan opened his eyes weakly, and Chun Mian pushed him: "It's here, you can go down." ”
Zhao Xingzhan took a breath and left from Liang Tan's shoulder: "I'm sorry......"
Zhao Xingzhan covered the deepest wound on his stomach and got out of the carriage with great difficulty.
Chunmian watched Zhao Xingzhan get out of the carriage, still panicked: "Miss, take him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it is known by others, won't it ruin Miss's reputation." ”
Liang Tan didn't answer yet, but he heard a suppressed snort under the carriage.
Liang Tan looked at it, the young man was already kneeling on the ground in pain, bent down, supported one hand on the wheel, and the other finger covered the wound on his waist, and blood lines overflowed from his fingers like rain.
He raised a pair of light brown eyes to look at her, and frantically reached out to block the blood lines that were falling from him. Zhao Xingzhan stood up and walked in the opposite direction with little difficulty: "Miss is noble, don't bring me in." ”
The tail note trembled a little, as if holding back the pain, but still repeated softly, "Don't worry about me." ”
The thin body was crumbling, as if he was going to fall down at any time, Liang Tan pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart that this Zhao Xingzhan was really a natural actor, so good at pretending.
At the moment when Zhao Xingzhan was about to fall, through his sleeves, Liang Tan still supported him: "Zhao Xingzhan." ”
Hearing her call his name, Zhao Xingzhan was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Liang Tan in a daze.
"If you can't get in, I say it." Liang Tan's voice is as soft and soft as a white rabbit.
Liang Tan and Chunmian supported Zhao Xingzhan, who was covered in injuries, left and right, and took him to a stable not far from him.
This position is just right, he can not hear his own heart, but he can also take care of him.
Liang Tan instructed Chunmian to go back and find two quilts to cover Zhao Xingzhan, and his tone was very gentle: "You also know that my identity is inconvenient, so I can only place you here, and after some time, I will find a way out for you, how about it?" ”
Zhao Xingzhan's eyes were half-open weakly, and he looked at Liang Tan who was standing in front of him: "So, thank you Miss." ”
It's a stable, and on weekdays there is only "Who haven't you asked who you are?" ”
Liang Tan walked out of the firewood room with a smile on his face, and the spring sleep behind him locked the stable, Liang Tan had a gloomy face, and ordered sideways: "Don't let him out without my permission." ”
Chunmian was frightened by her own young lady's tone, why did the young lady who was still gentle just now suddenly become cold.
Liang Tan counted the time, and she walked straight out the door.
Chunmian picked up the bamboo umbrella and followed Liang Tan: "Miss's clothes are all wet, why don't you go to the bedroom to change your clothes?" ”
Liang Tan paused, she looked up at the drizzle falling under the eaves, without pausing, walking into the rain, the cold wind blew her hair up, her pace was more hurried, as if she was in a hurry to catch something.
Chunmian shook her head, she lowered her eyebrows, and quietly followed behind Liang Tan.
The master and servant walked through the long corridor and just walked to the door, just when they bumped into Zhao Jinghuan head-on.
Liang Tan breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately caught up.
She feels like an NPC, going through all kinds of plots.
"Tan'er." A warm and jade-like male voice sounded not far away.
Liang Tan turned around and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion the moment he saw Zhao Jinghuan.
"Tan'er-" Zhao Jinghuan chased after him, followed by a small eunuch, and hurriedly held an umbrella for Zhao Jinghuan: "Your Highness, Your Highness, slow down-"
The man was dressed in a snow-white brocade robe, outlining a slender and upright figure, and the cuffs of the shirt were embroidered with light golden dark flowers, he stopped Liang Tan from taking steps, and his voice was warm and eager: "Why doesn't Tan'er refuse to meet?" ”
The little eunuch behind Zhao Jinghuan caught up and hurriedly added: "Yes, Miss Liang, our Highness has been waiting for you in Lanting for an hour, and seeing that you have not come for a long time, Your Highness is worried that something has happened to you, so he hurried here." You see, our Highness is waiting for you, and his clothes are wet. ”
Zhao Jinghuan didn't seem to like the little eunuch's words, he frowned slightly and scolded, but Yu Guang quietly paid attention to Liang Tan's direction: "Did this king let you speak, what more mouths." I waited for Tan'er willingly, as long as I could see Tan'er, what if my clothes were wet. ”
"Slaves know their mistakes." The little eunuch slapped himself twice, and then stood beside Zhao Jinghuan with his eyebrows lowered.
Liang Tan is the crown princess appointed by the emperor, and whoever can marry Liang Tan is the crown prince.
And Zhao Jinghuan and Liang Tan grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and have a deep relationship.
Therefore, everyone tacitly assumed that Zhao Jinghuan was the future prince.
Liang Tan stood inside the door, she looked at Zhao Jinghuan outside, her fingertips shrunk in her sleeves trembled slightly, and her eyes cooled inch by inch, leaving only the cold silence in her bones.
Liang Tan smiled, the smile was not over, and a pair of eyes seemed to be dyed with a thin layer of frost and snow.
Zhao Jinghuan's eyes were deep, he couldn't understand what Liang Tan's smile meant, why, so dazzling. Zhao Jinghuan tilted his head slightly towards the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch obediently took out a brocade box from his sleeve, bowed his head and bent down to offer it with both hands.
Chunmian took the brocade box and took it to Liang Tan's eyes.
Liang Tan opened the brocade box, and there was a quiet bead lying inside.
Zhao Jinghuan laughed softly: "This is the night pearl that my father gave me today, I thought Tan'er would like it, so I sent it." ”
Liang Tan smiled slightly and closed the brocade box again.
Her fingertips trembled heavily, the brocade box was thrown on the ground, and the night pearl inside rolled down, and the little eunuch was busy chasing the bead that rolled away, and Zhao Jinghuan was standing in front of Liang Tan's eyes.
Liang Tan's voice was very clear, like melting snow water on the top of the snow-capped mountains in Tibet, clean and cold: "Tan'er's friendship with His Highness is shallow, and His Highness doesn't need to be polite." ”
When the words fell, Liang Tan turned around and went back to the house, and the maidservant Chunmian bowed slightly to Zhao Jinghuan and turned her head together.
The little eunuch chased ten steps away, and then caught up with the night pearl that was rolling away, and put the brocade box containing the night pearl under Zhao Jinghuan's eyes.
"Your Highness, this Miss Liang ......"
Zhao Jinghuan glanced at the night pearl with deep eyes, and then looked at the distant shadow.
A scholarly face with frowns.
Zhao Jinghuan was puzzled in his heart, why Liang Tan became so detached.
Zhao Jinghuan looked sideways slightly: "Let's check, Liang Tan has something abnormal recently." ”
"Yes."
