She was stunned, and suddenly looked at someone she hadn't seen for two days. He really had such a good skin, so when she connected the events of these days with him, it was this face that came to mind.

She whispered.

Xie Yuwan looked at her fixedly, and after a long time, he said softly: "I have already told Your Majesty that this time in the autumn hunt, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not go." After King An's affairs are dealt with this time, we will go to Jiangnan. By then, the boat ride should be a few days away. Wait until you're done there for the New Year, and then come back. ”

Jiang Wu looked at him and knew all this, just because of the small letter left by his aunt.

She was at a loss in her heart, these are good, thank you too late, is it because of guilt?

Also, he never seems to have said a word of love.

Maybe she misunderstood, if he didn't love her in the first place, and everything he did was just out of guilt for his aunt, then the charges she added for love were slander.

Seem...... As long as he doesn't love her, everything becomes reasonable.

was because of guilt, in the house, when she recommended herself as a pillow, the cold and noble son did not push her away.

Still because of guilt, after she was embarrassed by the elders and knelt in the ancestral hall for half a day, he stood under the banyan tree with a lamp and said to her, 'Go home'.

It was also because of guilt that he blocked the deviation......

Jiang Wu couldn't read it anymore, would anyone really do it because of guilt? She knew that he abided by the law of etiquette, obeyed the rules, and was a gentleman with dignity.

But his aunt's suffering, in the end, has nothing to do with him. But if it's not because of guilt, then what?

Jiang Wan looked at Xie Yuwan calmly, and answered with a soft voice, 'Okay'.

Nighttime.

When Xie Yuwan returned to the room, Jiang Wan was reading a book.

Her heart was too quiet, and in this silent night, it was terrifying. So she opened the book on the desk and flipped through it by the light of an oil lamp.

The door was tapped, then squeaked, and opened.

Under the cold moonlight, there was Xie Yuwan, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, and she raised her eyes to look at him.

He walked up to her and took her hand.

She was stunned for a moment, it was warm, it should have just taken a shower. She shook his hand back as usual. That's how they do it every day, they say very little.

Wait until the candlelight goes out and the clothes fade.

Jiang Wu didn't know what kind of thoughts she had, so she asked lightly: "Thank you for being late, do you love me?" ”

She had never been so blunt in her memory.

She didn't even know what kind of answer she wanted, she just wanted to ask suddenly. Just like she wanted to see the snow in Jiangnan, she also wanted to try to ask the answer to this question.

She lived in his love for a long time, but perhaps, this love was a lie she made for herself.

Xie Yuwan's tone was calm: "Why do you ask so?" ”

He stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Wu, who was also calm in the candlelight.

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and softly threw herself into his arms, avoiding the collision of eyes. She climbed up on his neck and wrapped her arms around him, as she had done many years ago.

So counted.

In the past ten years, it has already been stolen.

Heartache?

Actually, it seems to be okay. Compared with her aunt, everything in this world is too light for her. Xie is late, but it is only a slightly stronger stroke among all living beings.

He doesn't love her......

That's great.

In this world, she finally has nothing to be nostalgic about. She wanted to see the snow in Jiangnan in her aunt's letter, and after reading it, she invited herself to go down to the church and slept in Qingshan with her aunt.

A muffled grunt came from between her teeth, and in the dimness, she calmly looked at the person around her.

Seem...... Why are you angry again, it should be, it has something to do with her. It's okay, in a few days, he won't have to be angry with her anymore, and he won't have to ...... Feel guilty again.

The son who is too dignified and polite will be bound by this little guilt for a lifetime.

Another month passed.

The clothes on Jiang Wan's body became thicker and thicker, and when she opened the door one day, she saw an ice pick on the beam.

...... That Chang'an, it should be snowing soon.

After he told her about going to Jiangnan last time, he didn't mention it again this month. It seems that something is going on in the palace again, he has been really busy lately, and even she rarely sees him.

Although I went back to the house today, there was also a noble person who came back with me.

At this moment, Tangtang pushed open the door and whispered: "Lady, the person you asked Tangtang to look for last time handed over a greeting post to Lady today." ”

She looked back, looked at Tangtang Candy lightly, and said softly, "Okay." ”

Tangtang pinched the fingers of the worship post tightly, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Lady, even if you want to take a concubine for your son, you don't need to ...... Such a family background. Although it is a concubine, it is the prince's mansion after all. Lady, ...... in the future"

Jiang Wu smiled lightly: "If you want to be powerful, you are the princess, what will those ministers say?" ”

Orange Candy was dumbfounded, and no one dared to say anything, but her lady ......

It seems to be just a small episode, and after saying it, Jiang Wu never mentioned it again. The prayer post was lying on the desk in front of her, and she didn't open it for a long time.

She calmly looked at the ledger in her hand, and when Tangerine Candy left, she whispered to the cicada in the corner: "What you said last time, I can't answer you." However, I will arrange a place for Tangerine Candy, and you can rest assured that it will be much better than what you asked me for. ”

The corner darkened for a minute, and the cicada did not speak again.

It was a long time before he knew what she was talking about...... It's much better.

When Jiang Wu looked out the window after processing the last ledger, she found that it was snowing. She was so surprised that she didn't even have time to put down her pen and ran to the window.

The snow on her fingertips melted into warm water, and she felt it.

It's true...... It's snowing.

This year, how did it come, so early. That Jiangnan side, isn't it, it's already snowing. She looked in the direction of Xie Yuwan's study in the distance and sighed lightly.

Can't you go?

Because of the confusion between the Son of Heaven and King An, now everyone in Chang'an is in danger, and the slightly more noble families have avoided the banquet together. No one knows what the situation will be in the court tomorrow.

She didn't know, but it had nothing to do with her.

In the past ten years, many people have begged her, begging for officials, money, and the government to release people, but she shook her head. Xie Wanwan would never talk to her about the affairs of the court, and according to Xie Wanwan, when she dealt with the lady next to her, she only had the share of others who were close to her.

She didn't go to the banquet very much, but in the past few days, because of the matter of the Son of Heaven and King An, the banquet she was going to go to was gone. She was happy to be idle, and if she was not careful, she would have dealt with all the things that had not been dealt with before.

She flickered with her fingertips, then looked out the window at the snow that was flying in the sky.

Is it really impossible to go to Gangnam?

After thinking about it, Jiang Wu went to the kitchen and took a cup of soup, and the porcelain bowl that was specially placed next to it was the only one in Jiangnan. The weather is so cold, she went to the study and sent a cup of warm soup, it shouldn't be too much.

When Xie Yuwan saw this porcelain bowl, he should have understood.

She knew that the court and the central government had been busy recently, and the confusion between the Son of Heaven and King An had thrown the court into a mess. But after being busy these days, he should be busy too, and he can't go to Jiangnan again, isn't he too useless......

As if to convince herself, Jiang Wu took a cup of soup and walked in the direction of the study.

Along the way, the snow was falling, and Tangerine Candy came out of nowhere and held an umbrella for her: "Lady, why don't you say a word, and leave by yourself." As she spoke, she looked at the warm soup in Jiang Wu's hand and chuckled: "Do you want to send it to the son, then I, then I will send the lady to the door, if the lady wants to eat, I will make it for the lady." ”

For some reason, Jiang Wu suddenly remembered the dumplings of that day. She couldn't taste it for a long time, but she waited until in Fuchu, Tangerine Candy made it for her.

So she looked at the umbrella above her head, the umbrella was holding it, as if she had survived the wind and snow around her, she smiled softly: "Can I eat dumplings?" ”

"Okay, the orange candy will be made for the lady when I go back, and I will only be the lady's ......"

Tangerine Candy chirped, and the two of them, in this wind and snow, walked together for the last part of their lives.

When he arrived at the study, Tangerine laughed secretly and was about to leave. Jiang Wu reluctantly pulled the person back and handed her the umbrella she pulled down: "It's cold, don't be infected with the wind cold." ”

"Got it, I know, lady, I'm leaving. When the lady comes back, she will be able to eat hot, hand-wrapped dumplings with orange candy. ”

Watching the orange candy run into the wind and snow, Jiang Wu's eyes couldn't help but be astringent. When he turned his head to look at the study, Shicai's emotions were gone.

In front of the small courtyard, there were only two guards guarding the door, and she lifted the wooden box in her hand: "It's cold, come and send a cup of warm soup to the adults." ”

The guard at the gate saluted respectfully: "Madam." Later, one of them congratulated and asked, "Do you want me to bring it in for Madame?" ”

Jiang Wu shook her head: "It's just a cup of soup, I'll just go in by myself." ”

The guards didn't say anything more, and got out of the way.

It was cold, and it snowed, and there was a thin layer of ice on the ground. Afraid of spilling the soup in her hand, Jiang Wu walked carefully and walked in the direction of the study.

When I got to the door, I suddenly heard the sound of conversation.

She didn't listen carefully, she just thought, who is this distinguished guest, who has been talking for a long time, and has not left yet? She looked at the warm soup in her hand, sighed, and didn't leave directly.

When the conversation was quieter inside, she knocked on the door again, and that's it.

Then I heard an unfamiliar male voice: "Brother Xie, a few days ago, a cousin came to my house. It is said that my cousin fell in love with me at first sight when I was a child and worshiped the family wine. A few days ago, she was in a hurry, and she clamored to come to Chang'an to find me. Her parents died young, and she was raised by her brother since she was a child. ”

Jiang Wu listened to it and lowered her head.

How can I talk to people every day, it's like this.

But there was no reason why she didn't listen to half of the story, and she pricked up her ears, and heard the strange man say in distress: "Brother doesn't know, that cousin is too clingy." Men and women are not taboo, and they can't see that there are maids around me, but anyone who knows that the mosquitoes around me are a mother, they have to roll up their sleeves to kill the mosquitoes. ”

Jiang Wu curled her lips lightly.

The man seemed to be a little crazy: "Forget it, a few days ago, she actually put that kind of medicine in my tea, that kind of medicine!" I looked at her earnest eyes at the time, and felt that it was wrong, so I gave it to the guard next to me, but the guard was only for a moment...... He took leave with me with a red face. She's a woman, and she, alas, my mother likes her, and she knows about it, and she's shut me up. Brother, you say, you say this kind of behavior ......"

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, this story ...... Her hand holding the wooden box tightened, and she turned her head blankly to look inside the door. She knew he couldn't see her, but she waited for his answer with the last shred of anticipation.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat.

It's been a long time since I've skipped so forcefully.

The unfamiliar voice automatically passed in her ears, and she stayed for a long time before finally hearing the cold male voice. Her eyes were stunned, and she repeated every word he said in her mind.

His tone was cold, as cold as ice.

He said: "Self-destruction and reputation are the work of villains." ”

So did she.
