A Thousand Hills and Green Dai Section 57
"I have something to tell you." He said.
Su Yu knew that he had always attached importance to the neatness of his appearance, and he thought that he was embarrassed at the moment, and he didn't want her to see it. "You come with me." I've got the medicine you sent last time. β
"How dare you come, I'll take care of it myself, you waitβ" He stepped back.
"Here you go!" Su Yu didn't allow him to refuse, cut off his words, and turned around after speaking.
He paused, looked at the figure she had entered, hesitated, and finally followed, entered the outhouse, saw her bring a basin of water, and hurriedly went up to pick it up: "I'm coming!" β
"You just sit down." Su Yu glanced at the bed in the room and motioned for him to go.
Pei Xiaoyuan paused, and finally, sat down slowly, watched her bring the water, took a clean plain towel, wrung it into the water, unfolded it, leaned over, lit the lamp, and gently wiped the blood stains on his forehead for him.
Although he had approached her several times before, or hugged her or took her into his arms, but every time he had to do it, he asked himself frankly and without distractions. But tonight, at this moment, it seems to be a little different.
It was she who took the initiative to lean towards him, so close. When she raised her hand to wipe his face, as her hand moved, he smelled a faint warm fragrance from her wrist sleeve that seemed to carry her body temperature. The corners of her sleeves brushed against the skin of his face, and he felt a slight itch.
He couldn't help but hold his breath, with a little unnaturalness, raised his face back, and was about to speak, saying that he would wipe it himself, when he heard her say, "Sit up straight!" What are you doing when you lean back? When she raised her eyes, she saw that her eyes fell on his broken forehead, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her expression was focused, showing that she was not distracted, just wiping his face.
Pei Xiaoyuan was secretly ashamed of himself for a while, calmed down, dispelled the distracting thoughts that he shouldn't have, and sat up straight as he said.
She carefully cleaned his face and rinsed the vegetable. In the quiet night, accompanied by the sound of a clear splash of water, he suddenly heard her ask, "How did this injury come about?" β
"I accidentally bumped into it myself." He should.
Su Yu stopped looking at him. He was nothing.
"I don't believe it. How could you stumble into such a deep hole yourself? β
Pei Xiaoyuan shook his head: "It's really me who doesn't care." β
"You're still covering it up for him? I know, it's my Aye! What happened to him? Tell me about it! β
At this time, Pei Xiaoyuan heard someone whispering in his ear: "Your Majesty smashed it with a hot incense burner." When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was his own voice. Then, seeing the look of annoyance and anguish on her face, he also got on the bed, knelt beside him, picked out some wound medicine with a stick, and reached over him with his arms, and gently applied it to his forehead.
"Does it still hurt?" She asked softly.
"He's so bad to do this to you! The next time he does this, you'll tell me! She said indignantly, and the action of applying the medicine to him became more and more gentle, as if he were some glass treasure that would shatter at the slightest touch.
It seemed that a sweet spring was gushing out of his chest silently, and Pei Xiaoyuan felt a faint sweetness. He no longer defended the emperor who had fallen into a rage last night, and silently accepted the grievances she had avenged for him.
The emperor's smash seems to be able to be a few points heavier. He can handle it.
"When the day dawns, you remember to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office again, and you must ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look for you! If you get hurt, it won't look good. Finally, she finished the medicine for him, lowered her head to pack her things, and gave another advice.
Pei Xiaoyuan sat on the bed, looking at her busy figure, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.
"Okay." He answered in a low voice, and suddenly, as if remembering something, the faint smile in his eyes was like a cloud blown away by the wind, and his expression slowly became solemn, and when the rain was finished, he walked back towards him, he got up and got out of bed.
"You're tired too, aren't you?" The rain turned around and glanced at the night outside the window.
"There's not much time left until dawn. Hurry up and get some sleep. β
"I'm fine, don't worry." She comforted him again, and when she saw that he was not leaving, she stood beside her and asked puzzledly, "Do you still have something?" β
Pei Xiaoyuan had already made up his mind at this time. He looked at her, smiled and nodded, "Princess, please take a seat." Your Majesty has something to say and wants me to pass it on to the princess. Although he did not call himself a minister again, his tone had become respectful, no different from when he called himself a minister.
Su Yu stared at him, frowned slightly, but still obeyed, slowly walked to the bed where he had sat and sat down.
"What did he say?"
"Your Majesty asked me to tell the princess, he knew everything a long time ago, and the reason why he still hasn't been Zhaoxue for Empress Zhaode-"
"It's him who has a hard time!" Su Yu interrupted and turned his face away, "As for the hardship, it is his court, his imperial industry, all the people in the world, and the plan of the future generations!" That's it, right? β
"In the emperor's heart, compared to these, my aunt is really not that important. I understand. She said in a calm tone that she had endured.
Pei Xiaoyuan was silent for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty said that he knows that you still don't want to recognize him, and he won't force you to go back to the palace to be restrained and face those people you hate and don't want to see. You don't like to be a princess, Your Majesty is not reluctant. You can continue to be a court painter, and you will continue to be the same as before. Your Majesty, as long as you don't leave, stay where he can see, and everything else is up to you. β
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and turned his face back: "He really said that?" β
Pei Xiaoyuan shook his head.
"Your Majesty also said that he will definitely give you an explanation and give you an explanation." He stared at her, accentuated slightly, and uttered the words.
The rain slowly drooped down. The light of the candlestick filled the room, silently enveloping her lowered eyelashes.
Pei Xiaoyuan waited. In the middle of the night, she looked up.
Why didn't he say these things to me himself? I want you to tell me? She asked softly.
Pei Xiaoyuan didn't know how to reply to her question.
In fact, it was not only her, but he himself, who was also surprised and puzzled that the emperor would tell him those secret things tonight.
He hesitated, still considering how to respond to her words, and saw that she herself had already said, "I understand." It's because of his weak heart, he doesn't dare to face A-Niang. She couldn't help but think of the scene the night before when the emperor clearly pointed out that he wanted to touch Ah Niang's dress, but in the end he gave up, and sneered lightly.
"Okay, I'll just watch. I'll see how he does it. If he is still lying to me in the end, then don't blame me for not being considerate of him, I'll figure it out myself. β
When Pei Xiaoyuan heard this, he immediately stepped up, leaned over to her, and stopped her in a low voice: "Princess be cautious!" Be more cautious! Take care of yourself, don't do it! I think Your Majesty is by no means a man of his word, and the princess should be more patient. β
Su Yu saw the look of concern in his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person." β
He looked at her, and in the end, as if he still couldn't rest assured, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to her in a lower voice: "The Liu family will pay the price of blood for their evil, I promise the princess." β
When he said this, his face was grim, and his eyes shone with a cold clear light like a sword.
Su Yu looked up slightly, looked at the man standing in front of her for a moment, and nodded: "Pei Er, I believe you." β
He smiled at her and said no more. In the deep and warm silence that followed, a few faint sounds of morning drums suddenly came from the window.
Before I knew it, this night passed like this.
The rain moved. He seemed to be awakened by the sudden sound of the morning drum, and looked at her suddenly: "Princess, rest." I went first. β
Su Yu waited for him all night, but at this time there was no feeling of fatigue at all, only that people were a little lazy, about tired of sitting, and with a casual response, he raised one arm, leaned on the table of the bed, supported his cheeks on one side, and looked at his back as he walked out. He walked to the door, stopped abruptly, and slowly turned around.
"Anything else?" She didn't move, still holding her cheeks, only raising a pair of bright eyes and looking at him.
He didn't seem to expect that she had changed to such a sitting position, although she was still dressed as a young man, but after a night, her hair and temples were fluffy, and her clothes were casual, and her black hair and snow cheeks were under the lamp.
"It's a small thing, I want to say it to you. Your Majesty's longevity is imminent, and there will be more things in the division in the future than before, this Yongning Fang is still some way from the palace, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, if it is late in the future, I will stay in the previous residence. Just talk to you, you know. β
She listened, as if she was a little puzzled. Closed his arms, sat up straight slowly, and said, "Isn't there half a year left for longevity?" Why is it so tight? β
"In addition, there is something on Jin Wuwei's side." He explained unhurriedly.
Su Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense. If it was too late, his original residence would have been more convenient than here.
With less back and forth on the road, he can get more rest. Nodding: "I see." β
"The princess will rest too. I went. β
Pei Xiaoyuan didn't raise his eyes again, closed the door for her after speaking, and left the house.
Chapter 56
After Pei Xiaoyuan went, Su Yu sat alone on the bed for a while, and finally felt tired.
She hadn't closed her eyes for two nights, got up and went into the house to sleep, and when she woke up it was like afternoon, and the surroundings were quiet, except for a few distant chirping birds, and there was no noise in her ears.
She didn't get up immediately, closed her eyes, and combed through the many sudden things that had happened in the past few days in her mind, one by one, one by one.
Suddenly, she thought of Wei Yinniang.
Since Pei Xiaoyuan searched Pingkang Fang at night, she hadn't seen her face. Previously, in order to find out her details, her Aya interrogated all the people around her, Chengping, Yu Wenzhi, and even Qingtou, an inconspicuous little guy, he didn't let go. For some reason, she suddenly had a feeling that perhaps, after that night of searching, Wei Yinniang had also entered Aya's sight. If it was really as she thought, maybe Wei Yinniang was also tried by Aya.
Thinking of this, she immediately got up, got dressed and walked out of the courtyard, opened the door, and was about to ask Hu Ren Eminem to bring some washing water, and was stunned.
Outside the door, there were seven or eight girls of the same age as the candles in the Ganliang County Guard's Mansion, all of whom had good faces and respectful expressions, and at first glance they were well-trained maids. Not only that, but the eunuch Yang Zaien, who served in the west hall of Ziyun Palace, was also there. It's just that he changed his usual palace eunuch attire, wearing a round-necked robe that is not blue or green, tied with a belt, and only had to stick a beard to his face, which looks similar to the steward of a large family. He and the maids seemed to have been waiting here for some time, but they were meticulous, there was no impatience on their faces, and when they saw Su Yu open the door, he unexpectedly paused, and walked in front of her with a smile and bowed: "Xiao Langjun is up?" His Majesty loved the picture of the Queen Mother of the West made by Xiao Langjun, and specially gave eight maids for Xiao Langjun to send. In addition, His Majesty knew that the mansion that had been given to Pei Erlangjun before was still to be repaired, so he sent a slave to supervise the matter, so that Pei Erlangjun would no longer have to be disturbed by such miscellaneous matters and could do things for the court with peace of mind. β
As he spoke, the maids also stepped forward and saluted her.
Su Yu understood when he heard it. The emperor is going to send Yang Jae-eun to her side. It's hard to say whether you monitor or not, but if you see something, it's indispensable to pass a word to the palace. As far as she knows, Yang Zaien is Zhao Zhongfang's apprentice, and now in the palace, he is also a eunuch with status, so being sent to serve her as a court painter will be suspicious, and living in this name not only avoids suspicion, but also shows that His Majesty the Emperor treats Pei Xiaoyuan very well.
Su Yu was the lord of the palace when he was young, and he was also accustomed to the life of a group of slaves, but after growing up with his grandfather for so many years, he has long been accustomed to doing everything by himself, and now there is no need for so many people to serve him. Speechless for a moment, he reacted and said, "I don't need to send here." Pei Langjun shouldn't need Yang Neishou to repair his house. Let's take someone back with you. β
Yang Zaien could not be sent away so easily, if it weren't for the scruples of these maids, Su Yu would have knelt down and pleaded with him, saying that he had come on the orders of His Majesty, and he couldn't return to the palace until he finished his work.
How did she not know that her own emperor, Aya, was not a tolerant person. An old man like Zhao Zhongfang for many years was driven away by him when he said to drive him away, Yang Zaien is just a palace eunuch, so he can't embarrass him, so he can only give up for the time being. After hurriedly washing and tidying up, and when she came out again, she found that she still underestimated the person who was sent. In addition to those maids, there are also cooks, gardeners, rough servants, and even the guards originally arranged by Pei Xiaoyuan in the family have changed their faces, and the leader is a middle-aged guard officer named Zhang Dunyi, who was personally selected by Han Kerang, the general of Jinwu.
Naturally, everyone came in the name of Pei Xiaoyuan, who was generously gifted by the emperor. If it weren't for the completely stunned Qingtou and Hu Ren Eminem, Su Yu felt that Pei Xiaoyuan was no longer the owner of the mansion here, and he was completely hollowed.
She couldn't send anyone away, so she could only give up, packed up, and hurriedly went out, knowing that Yang Zaien Enbi also sent someone to follow behind, because she remembered Wei Yinniang, she couldn't care about these anymore, and rode to Pingkangfang.
In the past, she didn't know, but now she knows that Yin Niang's residence has another door, so she touched it from the original way, knocked on the small door, and after a while, she saw that the door opened a crack, and a tall and sturdy face gave birth to a servant woman, looked at her, and listened to her ask Yumian Niangzi, shook her head coldly, saying that the person was not there, and she was going to close the door after speaking.
Su Yu became more and more suspicious, forcibly pushed the door in, walked quickly through the courtyard and went upstairs, and was chased up from behind by the servant woman, and was blocked at the staircase again.
This healthy woman has a lot of strength, Su Yu was twisted by her wrist, and the person couldn't move, so she grabbed the staircase railing with her hand and shouted to it: "Sister, are you there!" It's me! Leaf rain! β
The healthy woman lowered her throat and dragged her out forcibly. At this time, the door on the small building moved, and someone rushed out, leaned out of the corridor and shouted: "Let go of her!" β
Su Yu looked at it, it was Wei Yinniang.
The healthy woman still looked a little reluctant, but she didn't seem to dare to forcibly disobey Wei Yinniang's intentions, so she let go of her hand. Su Yu boarded the small building, Wei Yinniang also walked quickly to meet her, Su Yu approached her, and was taken aback.
But I haven't seen it these days, she looks like she is seriously ill, her clothes are disheveled, she has a long shawl hanging down her shoulders, she is wearing a crumpled white cotton skirt, the green silk is not combed, she is loosely tied up in a lazy bun, most of her long hair hangs messily down on her shoulders, her face is pale, her lips are bloodless, and she looks very relieved.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Get on board! Su Yu didn't wait for her to say anything, she helped the person and walked inside, entered the dormitory, smelled of medicine, and saw the bedding on the bed was messy, obviously, she was sick in bed, heard her voice, and then got up and ran out.
Inside, Wei Yinniang withdrew her maid and wanted to kneel down and salute her, but Su Yu stopped her, sent her back to sit on the couch, and asked, "I haven't seen you these days, why are you so sick?" Is something wrong? β
Wei Yinniang looked much better at this time, and shook her head with a smile: "What can happen?" It's just that the weather is warm, the night is negligent, there is no cold, a few days ago accidentally infected with the disease, people are lazy, just lying down. I'm already taking medicine, and I'll be fine in two days. Ah Mei doesn't need to worry. β
Her words should be very natural, and she does not shy away from Su Yu's gaze. Intuition made Su Yu unable to believe it: "Did Your Majesty ask you anything a few days ago?" β
Wei Yinniang still shook her head: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to think of me here?" It's really fine, sister, don't worry! β
At this time, the medicinal juice that was simmering on the small stove in the room was boiling and overflowing. Seeing this, Wei Yinniang waited to get up, Su Yu sat her back, went up and lifted the small medicine jar and put it aside to cool, and then used small tongs to cage charcoal to reduce the fire, and said casually: "When I came here last time, I saw that you had a few other people serving here, why didn't you see them?" Where did the one outside answer the door come from......"
At this time, she accidentally saw a small bottle on the desk next to her, which seemed to be used to hold wound medicine, the medicine bottle should have not been opened, and the fire paint seal marked with the name of the pharmaceutical medical officer of the Tai Yi Department was still on the cap.
Su Yu was stunned, picked up the medicine bottle, and looked at it a few times.
Wei Yinniang also noticed the bottle at this time, hurriedly walked over, took it back from Su Yu's hand, and threw it into a box. Raising his eyes and meeting Su Yu's puzzled gaze, he reluctantly smiled and explained: "It's just the medicine from the imitation of the Imperial Doctor's Department that I bought outside before." Just a backupβ"
Su Yu's eyes fell and stopped at her hand.
She had already discovered that after meeting, Wei Yinniang's hands were always covered by a shawl. That's it, even Fang just reached out to grab the bottle, and he was covered with that drape. At this time, doubts came up and asked, "Sister, your hand is injured?" Let me see. β
Wei Yinniang's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she hurriedly retreated to dodge, but was caught by Su Yu, forcibly lifted the shawl, and was immediately shocked.
Yin Niang's jade hand that is good at adjusting silk strings makes people can't bear to look at it, and her slender five fingers have become blue and black and swollen.
