A Thousand Hills Indigo Section 44
"The princess did not allow the ministers to call the princess or bow to the princess, but the ministers did not dare to disobey. Only this time, please accept it to the princess. ”
"Please pay tribute to the princess, remember the body of gold and jade, which is indistinguishable. In the future, no matter what happens, be sure to protect yourself first, and don't put the princess herself in danger because of anyone else! ”
Pei Xiaoyuan looked at the woman opposite who was wide-eyed with surprise, and said word by word.
Chapter 44
The white porcelain candlestick spitted flames, illuminating the face of the young man kneeling in front of her bed, and even his neat eyebrow lines.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his back to her slightly, his eyes fixed on her face, and his expression was serious.
He was always like this, kneeling down to her at every turn.
Especially tonight, the tone of his voice, and the way he looked at her at the moment, made her secretly feel a sense of guilt in her heart, as if she couldn't bear him, and as if she had really done an unforgivable and great wrong thing to offend him.
Soon she came to her senses, sat reclining and moved forward, closer to him, leaned over, and held out a hand.
"You get up first! I said, don't talk to me like that! ”
His figure did not move, nor did he answer her words, but his gaze fell, stopping at the hand she was reaching for him.
The sleeves of her shirt tucked up with her movements, revealing one of her wrists, and the candle flame shone on the scars left on her skin, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, and the blood oozing from the broken thin skin was still faintly visible at this moment.
Su Yu quickly noticed where his gaze fell, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and quietly put it behind his back, not letting him look.
"I've just wiped the medicine you sent, and it will be fine soon, and it won't hurt." He hurriedly explained again.
"Also, one of them is my niece and the other is my cousin. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, how can I leave them alone? ”
After she explained, he still kept his lips closed, let alone got up.
Su Yu learned this person's stubbornness for the first time, and had no choice but to compromise: "I understand." ”
His expression softened slightly, and he spoke again: "Please keep it in mind, princess." ”
Su Yu sighed in her belly, "Yes, I remember!" You can get up, right? ”
"The minister also has a rash request, and I beg the princess to grant it."
"You say."
"The minister knows that this should not be the case, but for the sake of the princess's thoughtfulness, before the princess returns to her position, if she goes in the future, you must let me know in advance."
Su Yu sighed again: "I remember!" ”
"One more thing."
He went on and on.
"For the convenience of having something to echo, the minister lives in the west courtyard of the princess's partition wall, and whenever the princess has any needs, although the minister is called."
"Got it!"
"So you can always get up, right?"
He moved his shoulders and finally got up from her bedside.
"Thank you for your forgiveness."
In front of this person, Su Yu was completely defeated. kept calling her a princess, which seemed to be respectful, but in fact, in and out of words, it meant that she listened to him.
In the future, he will kneel when he likes to kneel, and he will scream as much as he likes, and he can do whatever he wants.
And he went.
With a casual sigh, she turned sideways to him, and then continued to wipe her long hair while reminding, "You don't have anything else to say?" ”
Pei Xiaoyuan said: "Tell me everything that happened after you got on the boat." ”
Su Yu told him about the experience, how he found the water leak, how Feng Shilang sank in despair, and King Kang killed people and abandoned his second daughter and left.
As for how she saved people, she only mentioned two words briefly.
He listened intently to all her words, was silent for a moment, and finally looked at her deeply, and said, "The princess is righteous and powerful, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The minister was very impressed. ”
His tone sounded serious.
It is not easy to get his approval.
Suyu was inevitably praised to the point that his heart was beating hot. Close your lips and stop talking, and continue to wipe your hair. After a while, I noticed that he seemed to have no words, but he didn't say anything about leaving, and still stood by her side as before, quietly accompanying her.
It may not be a big deal, but once she realizes the situation, what he thinks, she doesn't know, and in her place, the atmosphere suddenly turns ambiguous. Not only that, but she was shocked that she seemed to be too casual in front of him, and even what she was wearing was just a thin middle shirt......
Quietly, quietly, she moved again and again, so that she could turn her back a little more to him.
At this time, if he was also aware, he suddenly took a few steps back and said, "The princess is very frightened today, rest in peace early." The minister retired. ”
Su Yu hummed, didn't look at it, only secretly heard the sound of his departing boots, suddenly remembered something again, and turned to stop him: "Wait a minute." ”
Pei Xiaoyuan had already walked to the door, raised his hand and was about to cover the door for her, when he heard the words, he stopped and looked up.
"A few days ago, I mentioned to you that Guo Dianjun, who was lost to save me, has a son left, do you remember?"
Pei Xiaoyuan immediately said: "It's called Guo Guo'er, right?" I've called someone to look for it, and there should be news tomorrow. When I receive it, I will go and bring it to you. ”
"Bothered. But if I find someone, I'd better pick him up myself. ”
He glanced at her and bowed his head: "It's okay." You wait for my news. Rest early. ”
After he finished speaking, he gently closed the door.
With the sound of boots that gradually disappeared until they disappeared, Su Yu slowly stopped wiping his hand, and finally took a towel and took a picture of himself in the mirror.
With long hair and light clothes, he looks completely lazy and private.
She didn't know what happened to her, she knew that he was coming, but she still didn't care, she didn't even think of this. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, pressed the mirror, and reminded myself in my heart.
Pei Ji's nephew is dignified and cautious.
In the future, if you live in the same room with only one wall, there will inevitably be many encounters like this night.
It would be better for her to be more cautious, so as not to embarrass him.
The light of the window went out, and the bright moon hanging above the Yongning house was clear. Across a courtyard wall, the insects in the west courtyard that were hidden in some corner were tirelessly cooing all night, and they slept peacefully.
And in the palace in the depths of the palace, the emperor still didn't sleep late at night, and before he could finish listening to the report of Yuan Zhi, who had been holding a knife and killing countless people, the back of the palm was crisscrossed with green tendons, and he suddenly twisted and bent a piece of music under the palm of his hand, and crumpled it into a ball.
His eyes shone with anger, and when he turned into a beast about to devour people, he roared: "Go and call the prince to me!" Immediately! ”
Yuan Zhifang only said that the leakage of the cruise ship caused the death of the Feng family's son, and that King Kang and the second county lord were almost killed, but did not state some of the details he had learned, let alone mention the matter about the little painter that the emperor originally asked him to report back today.
He knew that the emperor was angry, so he put down the rest of the matter for the time being, hurriedly withdrew, and did the matter first.
At the same time tonight, in a quiet villa located in Nanshan outside the city, at the end of the heavy deep tent, the beautiful woman has a jade body, waiting for your mercy.
Today's crown prince Li Mao sniffed the faint fragrance that I don't know whether it came from the smoker in the corner of the bed or from Yin Niang, lingering on her, only hating the rooster and the moon falling, and the good night is short.
Li Mao was hunted out of the city under the pretext of yesterday. And the reason that caused him to leave the city was the Yin Niang who was lying beside him at this moment.
He had known her for a long time, but at that time, he was just the eldest son of the royal palace who was favored by his stepmother and would take his position away from him at any time. And she is the favorite of the emperor's grandson. He could only wait and see. Later, when he became the crown prince, she became a lowly official prostitute, but he was still far from being able to bring her under his wings.
Even now, he doesn't have enough confidence to bring her to his side. The daughter of a criminal general who plotted rebellion with the old party.
The only thing he could do was to buy her out secretly and meet occasionally.
He didn't know why he was so obsessed with this woman. Or, she is the epitome of everything he has been asking for since he was a child.
The night missed the report of five watches. The heavens will tell. He also had to go back to the city.
Thinking that this moment is the last piece of time that has been stolen. The next time I can come out, I don't know when, so I beckoned her to get closer, and whispered a few words in my ear.
Yin Niangxing's eyes were half open, if she hadn't woken up from her sleep, but after listening to him, she slapped him lightly with a smile, and finally complied, turned over and sat on top of him.
In the ripples of the microwave, Li Mao, who had closed his eyes, thought that after being a cautious prince for many years, he seemed to have finally begun to wait for the faint dawn ahead, and suddenly felt excited, raised his arm to drag Yin Niang down, and turned over and pressed her.
"You'll be miserable a little longer."
He put his lips to her ear and spoke endless tender promises.
"When I can completely call the shots, the first thing I will do is to bring you into the palace."
Yin Niang pulled out a lazy sideburns last night and had already turned into a bunch of clouds. She leaned back on the pillow weakly, staring fixedly at Li Mao's handsome face, and after a moment, a smile slowly bloomed on her lips.
"Thank you, Your Highness......"
The voice was suddenly shattered, and then turned into a whimper, if the delicate flower was crushed into the core, if the flute and the broken kite were broken, the wisps of wisps, and the gentle weeping, through the cover of the heavy curtains, finally reached the corner of a side pavilion nearby.
Li Yan sat quietly in a dim corner of the pavilion where the morning light did not shine, closed his eyes, and leaned his head against the wall, as if in a state of flux.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of boots stepping on the ground from far and near from a corridor outside the dormitory, and someone was rushing from outside.
He opened his eyes and listened intently.
It was the palace envoy from Chang'an who came to the villa overnight, and sent a message from His Majesty the Emperor, ordering the prince to return immediately to face the saint without delay.
When Li Mao was served and dressed, although he tried his best to show a calm appearance, the subtle movements of constantly swallowing the Adam's apple and sliding up and down still revealed his panic at the moment, and even his heart.
He didn't go to King Ning's banquet yesterday, of course, he shouldn't have been, but even if the emperor knew about it, he would never send someone out of the city to summon him like this overnight.
The only possibility is that something else has happened.
And his hunch told him that what awaited him would never be a good thing.
The Emperor hadn't summoned him alone for nearly half a year. Although this made his uncle Liu Ceye deeply uneasy, and asked him to write several times to express his filial piety of longing for the face saint, for him, in addition to uneasiness and speculation, he actually felt a little secretly relieved.
He was afraid of his father. This has been the case since childhood. Now, even after the years have passed, nothing has changed.
The emperor's gloomy and majestic face appeared in his mind, and a burst of restlessness suddenly welled up in his heart, and he didn't need Wei Yinniang to put on his boots, he put them on indiscriminately, and hurriedly said You will stay for a few more days, turned around and walked away.
Wei Yinniang squatted in front of the couch, and heard the chaotic footsteps made by him and the people outside gradually disappearing, disappearing, and slowly, sitting on the ground.
The candles were weak, the windows were white, and the dim morning light filtered through the deep tent like water.
I don't know how long it took, a pair of arms came out from behind her, and with a lot of love, gently picked her up from the cold ground and sent her back to the bed.
Wei Yinniang opened her eyes, met Li Yan's soft eyes that looked at her, and shed tears.
