Tang Xian tried not to think about it anymore, took a deep breath, pinched Zhang Shuzi with two fingers, lowered her head and slowly handed it to Yun Zhu.

"Do what?" The cloud stop is very cold.

Tang Xian couldn't speak, and she was afraid that she would be heard by the Ming carp on the shore, so she turned her back to the lake, stretched out a hand and quietly pointed at the corner of his mouth.

Yun Zhu frowned and said, "I have something to say." ”

"The corners of her mouth ......," Tang Xian was embarrassed to say that it was stained with her blood, and handed the veil closer, and her voice was extremely low, "...... It's dirty. ”

Yun Zhu still didn't answer her handkerchief, frowned, stretched out his thumb and wiped the corner of his mouth, and saw half-dried blood.

He froze for a moment, realizing where it came from.

But he still refused to take Tang Xian's veil, and wiped it twice with his fingertips.

Tang Xian watched as the blood on his lower lip was wiped away by his fingertips, and unconsciously pursed his lips.

He would rather use his hand than take her veil.

It must be that I still remember the unpleasantness in the cabin...... She is not angry with any girl, and the big man is still unforgiving.

What a grudge.

Forget it, don't bother with him, after all, this is a man who even the water snake wants to take revenge on.

"Disembark." Yun stopped coldly ordering.

Tang Xian retracted her veil in restraint, turned to the lakeside with the lantern, and slowly turned back again.

She didn't look up, stretched out the hand holding the lantern, and the thin white index finger quietly touched the right finger of Yun Zhu, and hummed in a breathy voice: "It's not dirty......"

After saying that, she turned to the lakeside, borrowed strength on Ming Carp's arm, and carefully disembarked from the boat.

Yun Zhu, who was at the back, did not understand what she was talking about, and stood in the bow of the boat for a while while The wind blew, and felt the smell of blood lingering on the tip of his nose.

He pursed his lips inadvertently, tasting a faint smell of rust.

Yun Zhu's throat twitched twice, and then he remembered the conversation between the two in the cabin, and was immediately annoyed by his reaction.

He frowned and raised his hand again.

The thumb and fingertips were pressed to the lower lip, and Yun Zhu's arm stiffened, and he understood what Tang Xian was talking about.

He didn't wash his hands.

Chapter 44: Seeing

When she returned to her residence, the scratches on Tang Xian's ankle were no longer in trouble, and after re-cleaning, she smeared the wound medicine, and she didn't even need to bandage it.

"Maomao is so unlucky." Yun Yuan had already washed, and lay on the bed to watch the carp change the dressing on Tang Xian's shoulder.

Tang Xian let out an absent-hearted "um".

Yun Yuan chattered: "Brother said that he will be able to change the official road tomorrow, the weather is too hot, let's go faster." Maomao, can you hold on? ”

Tang Xian was silent.

Yun Xuan raised her voice and shouted to her again, "Maomao, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"I didn't ...... I'm sleepy. ”

After changing the dressing, turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Tang Xian was lying on her side, with the sound of Yun Yuan's whirring sleep in her ears, and she answered Yun Yuan's worried question in her heart.

"What does it have to do with me starting to walk the official road tomorrow? I am about to be separated from you. ”

Tang Xian should have made plans for the future, in this wilderness and separated from Yun Zhu and his party, should she go back to the imperial mausoleum first, or go directly to Beijing?

The former is not sure if it is safe, and the latter is too dangerous for a single girl.

Impulsive, it's time to talk to Yun Zhi about leaving after returning to Beijing.

When you say it, you are resolute, and if you change your words tomorrow, will it make people look down on you?

is about to regain her freedom, she should plan for the future, but Tang Xian's mind is cluttered and she can't calm down.

After lying in a daze for a long time, Tang Xian suddenly sat up and touched her ankles, and then remembered an old incident.

Once, there was a high-ranking official in Beijing who married a daughter, and Tang Xian went with her mother to add makeup.

The room was full of flowers, and the guests laughed and congratulated loudly.

Tang Xian followed Mrs. Tang into the inner room and saw the bride who had not yet covered the hippa.

Everyone was laughing, except the bride.

Later, on the way back to the house, Mrs. Tang said to her: "I didn't marry voluntarily, where can I laugh." ”

Tang Xian realized that this young lady had accidentally fallen into the water and had been rescued in full view of everyone, and that with such a skin-to-skin relationship, it was to prevent rumors and not marry the other party.

"Whether it was an accident or a calculation, who knows......"

They are such high-ranking ladies, and their marriages and in-laws are often involved in interests, and they are not as glamorous as they are on the outside.

After Mrs. Tang sighed, she told Tang Xian to be careful when she went out, and she must not easily get close to the water's edge and be calculated.

Tang Xian touched her ankle and remembered this, and was shocked to realize that her experience today was somewhat similar to that of the bride......

When she was still a noble girl, her innocence was ruined, and she was very likely to be coerced by the other party to marry her.

Yun Zhu had that kind of thought about her, but he never used this to blackmail Tang Xian into committing to him, and he never mentioned it later.

From the first day of their acquaintance, he did not use such means.

Tang Xian's thoughts gradually fell silent, and she finally fell asleep and had another dream.

In her dream, she was still the pampered eldest lady of the Tang family, and on that day, the city was full of snow, and the number of people who came to celebrate her birthday was endless.

She wore a newly cut garnet-colored gold-sprinkled flower dress and a cloak of silver and white fox fur, and frolicked in the attic with three or five friends.

Some of the friends are bold, pointing at the sons below, this face is too long and not good-looking, the other is too weak to afford the family business, or the family background is not good, and there is no literary talent......

Tang Xian listened one by one, and suddenly saw a tall figure emerge from the wind and snow, he did not hold an umbrella, and there was no servant with him, and he appeared without warning, like an aspen rising from the ground in the snow.

"Who's that?" Tang Xian asked a friend.

"It's the eldest son of the Baili family." Her friend grabbed her hand and muttered, "Isn't that handsome?" But he has a very bad temperament, and he likes to embarrass people when he throws a cold face at everyone...... What did he come to do? ”

"I'm here to give Miss a birthday gift." I don't know when the maid has a delicate mahogany double carp box in her hand, "It was sent by the eldest prince of the Baili family." ”

Tang Xian thought to herself: What Baili family? Why haven't I heard of it?

I don't know this person, but Tang Xian in the dream is a little happy.

Probably because of her birthday, she was always happy on the day of her birthday.

And because she drank sweet wine, her face was a little hot, and she went to open the brocade box behind everyone's back.

Most of the congratulatory gifts she received were gold and jade ornaments, or ancient books of poetry and painting.

Tang Xian opened the box curiously, and before she could see the contents clearly, the maid screamed and overturned the brocade box.

A slender water snake quickly swam over, climbed up along Tang Xian's upper, and tightly wrapped around her calf.

Tang Xian saw the snake's sharp fangs in a scream-

Her feet jerked, and when she opened her eyes to the gauze tent beside the bed, she realized that it was dawn, and she had a nightmare.

The feeling of something wrapped around her feet was so real that Tang Xian sat up on the bed and found that the blanket on Yun Yuan's body was gone, and the person had shrunk down, sleeping crookedly, with one leg on her calf.

No wonder it feels so real to be entangled.

Tang Xian's mind never stopped all night, and when she woke up, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and she was thinking about the scene of dreaming back to the fifteen-year-old on the couch, and her heart was empty.

After sitting blankly for a long time, she returned to reality, sighed heavily, and picked up the memory of last night, and couldn't help but regret a little.

I regret that I thought about it all the time last night, and now it's time to face it, and I can't find a clue.

Is it a dead face begging to go to the capital together, or say goodbye and transfer to the imperial tomb?

Let's leave...... Yesterday, she also said that she was just very defensive and didn't trust Yun Zhu......

Tang Xian made a decision, she only brought two clothes with her when she came, and when she left, there was nothing to pack, and the people who could say goodbye were only Yun Yuan in the end, and she reluctantly added an "uncle" Zhuang Lian.

The child was difficult to coax, she couldn't open her mouth, so she went to find Zhuang Lian first.

"You're leaving?" Zhuang Lian was surprised, "Did Childe agree?" ”

When Tang Xian didn't know that the Dao Treasure Map had been returned to Yun Zhu, she recounted the events of last night and said, "He promised, let me and Yanxia go free." ”

Zhuang Lian was even more surprised, "I heard from Gongzi about the treasure map, but I can let you and Yanxia ......"

Last night he had gone to Yunzhu to study the treasure map, and the year on the parchment, the direction of the river on the map, and so on, were all in line with a hundred years ago, and they were true.

“…… Childe didn't say he was going to let you go. ”

Tang Xian was surprised, she finally made a choice, but Yun Zhu wanted to lose her trust?

She thought about staying in the capital for the time being, but she never thought of staying passively.

Take the initiative to stay, she is free and can go at any time.

Forced to stay, then she would be a captive as before, and she would be trapped in her movements, which was not what she wanted.

She argued, "He said it, he was in the cabin last night, and he promised it himself, otherwise how could I give him the treasure map?" ”

"Then I don't know, anyway, the son didn't tell me that the girl can go." Zhuang Lian spread his hands.

In fact, in Zhuang Lian's opinion, Tang Xian really shouldn't be let go, especially after Yanxia had already tried everything to find her once.

The treasure map has arrived, but before that, Yanxia should have been to this treasure cave, who can guarantee that the treasure is still there?

Therefore, before seeing the treasure with his own eyes, he could not let Tang Xian go.

Zhuang Lian reminded Yun Zhu, and Yun Zhu's reply was: "I didn't plan to let her go." ”

However, Zhuang Lian was not allowed to use this reason as a means to keep Tang Xian.

Zhuang Lian figured out what was going on and didn't dare to ask in detail, but faced Tang Xian, who was arguing with him, and said, "The son didn't give orders, and I didn't dare to let you go...... Why don't you ask Childe yourself? ”

Inexplicably, the candlelight of the boat that shook last night and the wind and snow in her dream flashed in Tang Xian's mind, and she flinched in her heart.
