Chapter 21

After she showed her obedience, the slender hand that was covering her eyes finally moved away.

Rong Jin was a little out of strength, kneeling on the edge of the bed, but he did not bow his head as usual, but looked at Shen Yu without avoiding it.

But Shen Yu didn't seem to dare to confront him, and lowered his eyes, covering those deep eyes.

He coughed lowly, his voice becoming more and more hoarse: "You can mention what you want." ”

Rong Jin's hand under his sleeve tightened unconsciously, and he slowly spoke: "I don't want to be locked up in the courtyard day after day and live a messy ......."

"You can get someone to accompany you or keep a watchdog, but I want to be able to step out of the courtyard once in a while."

She didn't believe Shen Yu's "anything can be", even if she made a request, she was very measured, and even "intimately" thought of a countermeasure for Shen Yu.

Shen Yu heard the sarcasm in her words, and he was not annoyed, and his chin fell.

"Besides, I want to take my little sister out and completely break off the relationship with my family. Although Granny Su occasionally takes care of her, she is afraid that the whip will not be able to reach her and cause some accidents. ”

Rong Jin spoke more and more smoothly, as if he had already thought about it.

These are all trivial things to Shen Yu, and naturally they won't get along with her: "You can take her to your side......"

"No," Rong Jin decisively refused, but then realized that his reaction was a little too much, slowed down his expression and tone slightly, and said gloomily, "I don't want her to see me like this." ”

I don't want Rong Qi to step into this courtyard.

Even if he knew that Rong Qi would have Shen Yu's eyeliner staring at him, he still didn't want her to be too involved in it.

Since the night banquet in King Li's Mansion, she has been involved more and more with Shen Yu, and she is deeply involved, and she can't add any more.

Her expression was sad, Shen Yu was stunned, and only said, "Whatever you want." ”

Rong Jin's clenched hand slowly let go, and he didn't make any other requests, and then exited the inner room after bowing.

Shen Yu didn't expect Rong Jin to want to be like this, and watched her back disappear behind the screen fixedly, speechless for a while.

She didn't ask for gold or silver.

Granny Su had inadvertently sighed before, saying that Rong Jin had such a difficult life in the past, and he was young, but he was not greedy for vanity at all, which was a rare way to live in poverty.

She didn't think about helping her family.

If some women climb high branches, they always want to supplement their families, try their best to ask for an errand for their father and brother, and take a family of chickens and dogs to heaven.

But Rong Jinji hated her father for sending her to King Li's mansion, and she had no intention of carrying her, and she only thought about her own sister.

Love and hate are clear.

She didn't even think about asking for a name.

Everyone knows that the name "outer room" is not good, although Shen Yu himself has not experienced it, but he has always heard and seen it, and knows that the outer room and concubines of the courtiers next to him have tried every possible way to get serious, and they have also caused incidents for this.

Fang Cai Rongjin's expression was gloomy, Shen Yu thought that she would be like this, but unexpectedly, she didn't mention half a sentence.

People in the world either seek fame or profit, so they are very easy to handle, but Rong Jin seems to have no desire or desire, which makes Shen Yu a little dazed.

The sun is scorching, and the midsummer sunlight is always particularly dazzling.

Rong Jin stepped out of the threshold, only to feel dizzy, and held on to the pillar under the corridor in time to stabilize his figure.

"What's going on?" Yan Qingyi looked at Rong Jin's face and handed over a small white porcelain bottle.

This bottle contains the medicinal juice extracted from mint leaves and herb leaves, which has a particularly pungent taste, but has a cool aftertaste and has the effect of cooling off.

Rong Jin took a closer breath and thanked him weakly.

Recently, there has been no rain, and under the scorching sun, the green color of the bamboo forest seems to be not as bright as before.

Yan Qingyi brushed away a leaf that fell on her shoulder, and hesitated: "You ...... Shen Xiang"

When she rarely wanted to speak like this, Rong Jin smiled helplessly, and she didn't know where to start with this bad debt between herself and Shen Yu.

After thinking about it, the only thing I could say in the end was: "Sister Qingyi, I want to accompany him to plant Gu." ”

Yan Qingyi stopped, looked back at her, and said in a very solemn tone: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Rong Jin looked up at the sky, and the sunlight shone through the cascading bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on the porcelain-like skin. With a smile, she said softly, "I've thought about it." ”

She didn't mention much about it, and changed her words: "Sister Qingyi, I want to ask you for a favor......

She wanted to entrust Rong Qi to Yan Qingyi.

Among the women he has seen in the past ten years since he was a child, what Rong Jin envies is not the beauty that his stepmother has talked about countless times, the beauty who flew up to the branch and turned into a phoenix after being favored by King Li, nor the sister next door who was envied by everyone in the neighborhood and gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus after marrying Jinshi, but Yan Qingyi.

Even if I don't have much contact with Yan Qingyi, I always think that if I can be as powerful as her and have the ability to settle down and make my own life, there is nowhere in the world.

It's a pity that at the moment, I'm afraid I can't for a while.

So she hopes that Rong Qi can leave the home that is no longer a place to live, without any restraints, and be free.

"It's not a difficult thing," Yan Qingyi responded without much hesitation, "It just so happens that my little apprentice, who originally helped dry medicinal materials and keep accounts, took leave and returned to his hometown. ”

The smile on Rong Jin's face was much more real: "That's great." ”

After careful calculation, she hadn't seen Rong Qi for half a year.

It's just that Shen Yu's illness is here, and he can't be delayed, so he can only plant Gu first, and then pick up people.

What Shen Yu decides, no one will say anything, Granny Su is even happy to see it come true, and on the day of planting Gu, she personally supervised the decoction of the medicine and sent it.

It was dusk, and the sky was covered with a large area of brilliant fiery clouds, reflecting half of the sky red.

Rong Jin looked at the scenery in the distance through the window, but his line of sight did not fall into place, obviously he was in a daze.

Yan Qingyi wiped the knife that had been soaked for a long time and used to bleed, and with the tightly sealed purple bamboo tube in his hand, he saw that someone had brought the medicine, and reminded: "Drink the medicine while it's hot." ”

This medicine is used in conjunction with Yin and Yang Gu, and it also has the effect of helping sleep.

Yan Qingyi told her early in the morning that there was no need to be afraid of planting Gu, just close your eyes and sleep after drinking the medicine, and everything will be over after waking up.

Rong Jin came back to his senses, moved from the window to the bed, held the porcelain bowl in both hands, and blew on the scorching medicinal soup.

She looked extraordinarily calm, not panicked, not shy, rather resigned.

The cheeks that were breathing were slightly puffed up, but it reminded Shen Yu of the squirrel he saw in the forest when he was hunting with Xiao Pingyan in the early years, pitiful.

The pitch-black medicinal soup had an indescribable taste, but because it was hot, he couldn't hold his breath and pour it down, so he could only drink it in small sips, and the sour and bitter taste almost made Rong Jin nauseous.

She was so bitter that her facial features were wrinkled, and she glanced at Shen Yu, but found that he drank so much that his face did not change, as if his sense of taste had failed.

It wasn't until he finally swallowed a whole bowl of medicinal juice that Rong Jin touched a pine nut candy from the sachet and melted it, which relieved the feeling of nausea a little.

She leaned at the end of the bed, waiting for sleepiness to strike, but when she raised her eyes, she found Shen Yu looking at this side.

Rong Jin was stunned, and saw Shen Yu's eyes fall on the sachet on his waist, and a guess appeared in his heart-

Doesn't he want it too?

But Shen Yu didn't speak, Rong Jin hesitated slightly, and decided to pretend not to know logically, and closed his eyes.

This medicine works quickly, and after a short time, pretending to sleep becomes real sleep.

Rong Jin had an extremely long dream.

In a trance, when she was young, she followed her mother to take shelter from the rain in the mountain temple, the dilapidated Buddhist hall leaked wind and rain, and the thunder from time to time scared her even more.

The mother held her in her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Jinjin is not afraid, no matter how big the wind and rain will pass, there will always be a sunny day after the rain......"

The sound of wind and rain was endless, but the fragrance that made her extremely reassuring became lighter and weaker, and was gradually replaced by a bitter soothing fragrance.

Rong Jin stared at the bed tent in a daze for a long time, and finally woke up from a dream.

It's just that it really rained outside, and it gradually coincided with the scene in the dream, so she couldn't tell it for a while.

There was a pain in her wrist, and she subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to take a look, but someone held it down lightly.

Rong Jin turned his head and saw Shen Yu's outline clearly through the light that the candle flame penetrated into the account.

Shen Yu has a special physique, and increasing the dose of medicine can only make him sleep for a quarter of an hour at most, wake up early, and listen to the sound of rain for a while, and Rong Jin's dreams.

She didn't sleep well, she called "mother" intermittently, and even clinged to it, like a frightened little animal trying to seek comfort.

Shen Yu was afraid that she would affect the injury in her coma, so he could only distract herself from protecting her wrist, and waited until Rong Jin was completely awake before removing her hand.

Rong Jin held his wrist, saw the wound that had been properly bandaged, and asked in a low voice, "Is this ...... Is it planted? ”

Except for the faint pain of the wound, there seems to be no difference.

Shen Yu replied in a low voice.

He didn't sleep for long, he had seen with his own eyes how the Gu worm was planted in his body, he was soberly subjected to the initial torture, and he had already heard Yan Qingyi speak clearly.

After planting the Gu worm, there was no way to go back, but at this time, Shen Yu didn't know how to start.

It is true that he is not a good person, I don't know how much blood he has stained on his hands over the years, but there are old grievances due to the past, even if it is liquidated by the Yama Palace after his death, he can say that he has no regrets.

But Rong Jin didn't owe him anything.

It's just that when I was in Youxiantai, due to fate, it was Rong Jin who brought the cup of medicated wine.

In the long silence, Rong Jin had fallen asleep again.

She couldn't see Shen Yu's expression clearly, and she didn't bother to speculate on his thoughts, so she was about to turn over lightly, but Shen Yu held her waist down and froze there for a moment.

The tie around the waist spreads out, and the warm touch comes to the lips.

Shen Yu tasted the sweetness on her lips, and was stunned, only then did she realize that it was the taste of pine nut candy. The taste of the medicine was really unpleasant, and Rong Jin clearly saw what he meant before, but he wanted to pretend to be asleep and refused to give him a pill.

The long hair was scattered on the pillow, Rong Jin's cheeks were hot, and his breathing became more and more messy.

I don't know what Shen Yu remembered, he laughed lowly, and then licked her lips lightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Your pine nut candy, do you still have it?" ”
