After he hugged her whole person, he gently patted her on the back as if comfortingly.

"Are you really okay? What dreams have you just had? ”

Her actions finally reassured her a little, and she slumped into his chest, her pounding heart pressed against his. When he felt his heartbeat gradually calm down, he was also a little calmer, and raised his face to ask him.

"I'm fine. I just scared you, it's me who is not good. His voice was apologetic, but his tone was muffled.

Obviously, he didn't want to talk to her about the dream that made him so horrible.

She tried her best to keep her eyes open, trying to see his eyes hidden by the night, but she couldn't see them, only a few bits of luminous light flickering under his eyes.

"It's not dawn yet. You can sleep again. ”

Finally he whispered, hugged her, and put her back on the pillow.

The dormitory, which had been resounding because of this nightmare, was once again quiet.

This time, he slept soundly, breathed evenly, and there were no more accidents.

Su Yu shrunk himself under the quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes, quietly opened, looked at the sleeping side face of the person next to the pillow, and woke up until dawn.

There had never been a moment like this night that made her unusually aware of something.

He has his own heart, a very heavy heart.

However, he would not say a word to her.

Chapter 127

The faint sound of street drums sounded in the distance, and Su Yu looked at the figure who quietly came out of the tent and began to dress.

Cui Daosi did not dare to delay for a moment after receiving the post of Anbei envoy yesterday, so he chose his entourage, selected translators, officials, and guards from Honglu Temple, and formed a team of hundreds of envoys, and immediately set off for the north this morning.

Pei Xiaoyuan is going to see him off in the morning, and she will also go with her.

He was wearing a coat over his body. In the slight sound of the rustling of his clothes, he let out a breeze with his movements, causing a cluster of candles to flicker nearby, and the light gauze tent door also swayed slightly.

Su Yu's gaze paused.

After all, he didn't notice what was so special about the newly hung bed net. It should have been forgotten a long time ago.

How long ago was that a trivial matter?

In fact, Mo said that it was him, it was herself, and she had forgotten it long ago before she saw it last night.

I always keep in mind that there is only about one Qingtou.

Su Yu suddenly felt a little funny, thinking carefully about his little bit that he couldn't get on the stage. Soon, she completely put aside the matter and followed the quilt to stay. However, somehow, my feet hit the ground, and I stood up, and my chest suddenly felt tight.

Then, a feeling of nausea hit, and the person felt unwell.

He must have heard the slight noise of her getting out of bed behind him, turned his face to look at her, and when he saw this, he immediately walked back, and reached out to hold her arm.

"What's wrong with you? People are uncomfortable? ”

Su Yu borrowed his support and slowly sat back on the edge of the bed.

Soon, the discomfort disappeared.

She raised her face, met the two glances he cast, and shook her head, "It's okay." Fang Cai was just a little depressed suddenly, and he was already fine. ”

He looked at her face, which had always been lacking in blood recently, and was obviously still not very relieved.

"Lie down. I don't have to go this morning, I'll just go. I asked Emu to send a messenger and take a look for you. ”

He turned around and was about to call someone, but Su Yu grabbed his sleeve from behind.

"I'm really fine. Early in the morning, it doesn't have to be much. ”

Picking up a hairpin that had fallen on her pillow last night, she raised her arm and explained while recurling her long loose hair with the hairpin.

"I think it's because I've had a lot of things lately, and I can't sleep well, so I'm just depressed."

He seemed to hesitate.

She stood up and smiled at him.

"I'm really fine. I know best how my body is, and I'll rest more. Your uncle must have left for the palace at this moment to pay homage to me. Let's not delay, lest we miss the send-off. ”

In the light of the candlelight, her face was much clearer than before, like a thin moon on a light spring night.

At this moment, she should be weak and tactful, and she is infinitely loving.

However, in front of her, she is clearly smiling, radiant and reassuring.

He couldn't help but remember the scene he had had encountered last nightmare, and she hugged him when she pounced on him. She had never seen her look so frightened, and she must have been frightened by him.

However, the full response he could give her was so limited.

After knowing the final face of the event, an invisible wall had quietly erected between him and her. All the pleasures of being with her before had come to an abrupt end in his place, like the morning dew of the blades of grass, and the sun was gone.

The blood that had once covered outside the city of Beiyuan was too thick. Wind and sand can bury everything, and calm the sword and sword marks on the earth. He couldn't do it after all, as if nothing had happened.

In last night's dream, the arrow he shot into Chengping's back took him to the land of the North Abyss once again. The mountain of corpses is like a dump, and the sea of blood is covered with top.

She must have thought that he couldn't recognize the new cloud tent last night, and he couldn't remember the first secret thing that he and her shared in the days of Chang'an, wanting to talk about it, half-happy and half-angry.

He remembers everything. I just don't know how to respond, but I can't do it, as if I am ignorant and unconscious.

However, at this moment, in front of such a smiling her, he felt as if his heart had been silently whipped by a sharp whip. suddenly hated himself, that night, why did he finally go to the West Market.

If he hadn't gotten and hadn't listened, at least to her, would he have been able to feel at ease when he stretched out his hand, and wouldn't have to wear an invisible shackle like now.

Under his wordless gaze, she put on her clothes, went out, opened the door, and called for someone to serve and wash.

The first morning sun of the winter morning shot in front of a vertical and horizontal willow elm forest outside the Kaiyuan Gate, reflecting the ice cubes that hung on the willow gray branches last night, shining with a little crystal light.

King Ning led a group of courtiers and sent Cui Daosi to the land of the Ten Miles Pavilion outside the Kaiyuan Gate, and Pei Xiaoyuan waited next to the willow elm forest ten miles away.

Wearing a hat and a cloak with a lapel and a long journey, Cui Daoji led a group of followers from far and near to appear on the empty official road nearby.

Cui Daosi is not as high-spirited as he was when he said goodbye to everyone a moment ago. He frowned slightly, he should have something on his mind, and when he saw Pei Xiaoyuan on the side of the road, he didn't have much surprise, obviously this was what he expected. But then, when he found another figure wearing a fur-edged cloak appearing from a blue oil car behind Pei Xiaoyuan, he looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Then, he reacted, rolled off his horse, and led the people behind him to kneel on the side of the road, shouting to see the princess. The miscellaneous birds in the nearby forest were startled and fled one after another.

The green heads who came out together neatly placed a pedal in front of the carriage. Su Yu got out of the car and immediately picked up Cui Daosi, telling him that he didn't need to be polite.

Cui Daosi hurriedly bowed down, saying how could he afford to be so respectful to the princess.

Su Yu said with a smile: "Cui Gong is the head of the horse, just like my parent." What's more, this mission, not afraid of dangers, running for the country, I admire it very much, and it is my duty to give wine before leaving. ”

Qingtou brought a tray early and waited aside. She lifted the flask that had just been heated on the stove in the carriage on her plate, poured a glass of warm wine, and served it with both hands.

"Please Cui Gongman drink this wine. I wish this journey smoothly and a safe return as soon as possible. ”

Cui Daosi was grateful, took it tremblingly, drank it in one gulp, put down the wine bottle and said, "Please rest assured, princess!" The old minister is old and sick, like a rotten wood, and the saint will not give up, and he will entrust such a heavy task, even if he knows the future, he will not retreat. Even if you are righteous and die, you will not hesitate! ”

Qingtou saw that Cui Daosi looked like an old illness, but he still said this, he was moved, and knelt down and kowtowed: "Cui Gong is righteous!" If it weren't for the uselessness of the villain, he was afraid that he would cause chaos to Cui Gong, and the villain couldn't wait to follow Cui Gong to the north to make meritorious contributions and return to Chang'an! ”

Cui Daosi waved his hand again and again, telling him to stay with peace of mind and serve the horse and the princess well.

Su Yu had already seen it, Cui Daosi was perfunctory with his green head in his mouth, but the wind in the corner of his eyes swept towards Pei Xiaoyuan, who was standing aside and did not speak. Only Qingtou was sincere and wanted to continue, so he spoke up and interrupted with a smile: "I see that there are a lot of birds around, and there are just a few cakes in the car, so I can feed them." ”

When Qingtou heard this, he hurriedly followed her back to the carriage to get food.

Cui Daosi and the princess went to the side to feed the birds, ordered the entourage to wait in place, threw a look at Pei Xiaoyuan, and led him to the nearby forest corner, seeing that the nephew stopped, and dragged him to force him to continue walking, until he entered the forest, came to a wild stream with dry water in winter, looked back behind him, and made sure that the words would not fall into people's ears, so he stopped.

"My uncle's debasement is all because of my sin. I had already wanted to seek reparation from my uncle, but it was inconvenient to meet, so I had to take this opportunity to confess to my uncle. I beg your forgiveness! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Cui Daosi grabbed him from the ground, "That's it, what's the use of all this?" ”

He no longer looked old and weak in front of the princess a moment ago, and then he split his head and asked, "Have you reconciled with the princess?" Is it really okay? ”

Since the accident of the abolished prince and King Kang, the emperor has obviously been hit hard, and he wants to come to the dragon body restlessly, so he has become more and more simple and has not shown up for a long time. Even recently, occasionally I began to call my subordinates to ask questions, but the monarch and the ministers were relative, far away, and there must be a princess by his side. Nowadays, the daily affairs in the southern courtyard are mostly ordered by King Ning. But everyone knows that the person who actually assists the emperor to participate in the deliberations, and even makes orders together, is the princess who is favored by the emperor. The actual status of the princess now can be seen.

The nephew will go out of the city today to see him off, which is what Cui Daoji expected. But it was a surprise that the princess should come with him, and be so courteous to him, and even flattered. After all, not long ago, the princess became increasingly estranged from him because of the suspicion of the crime and saw the evil of the emperor, and she did not return to the Yongning Mansion for a long time, which everyone knows.

Pei Xiaoyuan paused and responded vaguely.

The trapping of Li Yan, even now, the number of people who know the inside story is limited. To the outside world, it is only said that Chengping is arrested. Naturally, he won't talk to Cui Daosi.

Cui Daosi thought that his guess was correct, his eyes were happy, and he was relieved.

"So good! So much better! ”

He muttered, "That's what I was worried about. I don't know how many people want you and the princess to do bad things, so that they can compete for the position of this concubine! ”

"I want to revitalize the clan, the children are like Lin, how can I let the villain succeed!" In addition to being relieved, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Pei Xiaoyuan didn't want to mention this more, so he said: "Uncle led the envoy to take responsibility, and after he arrives, he must take care of himself." Uncle can find the fox festival to help. He used to be my uncle's general, he was my boss, and he was a man I could trust. ”

Unexpectedly, when Cui Daosi heard this, he showed a strange look on his face and said: "Erlangzi, do you think that the saint really believes in me and can persuade Ashina to confess his sins and stop, or can I unite the surrounding chieftains and prevent him from doing rebellious things?" That little child's ruthlessness and arrogance are very within the reach of people, and they dare to poke Chang'an's sky out of such a big hole, and it is useless for anyone to go! It's just that because my status is quite appropriate, send me to go through the motions, salute first and then soldier, and leave some time to prepare for the next thing! Your uncle and I, this time I am a dead horse as a live horse doctor! Go, improvised, take one step at a time. ”

This time, it was really his nephew who made friends carelessly and got involved, so he had to stand up and take the drudgery. Glancing at his nephew, who looked more and more guilty, he sighed secretly and changed his words again.

"However, I also took this opportunity to come out and avoid the limelight."

He frowned.

"I always feel that there will be accidents in the court. Isn't Wanshou suspended? I got a piece of gossip, and I don't know if it's true or not, the prince of Xiping County took the opportunity to ask for a return from Beijing a few days ago, but the princess didn't allow it. I also heard that after the return of the Great Shooting Salute, the King of the County Jinjuan had planned to take the prince out of Chang'an, but somehow, the plan did not work, and the prince was actually under house arrest afterwards. If it's true, could it be that something is going to happen in the southwest? ”

He let out a long sigh of concern.

"It's only been a long time since the peaceful days, chaos here, chaos there, I'm afraid something big is really going to happen."

Pei Xiaoyuan was silent and motionless.

"Xiao Yuan!"

Cui Daosi suddenly called him. He lifted his eyes.

Cui Daosi's expression turned solemn.

"Your uncle isn't here. If he were there, he would have spoken to you of some responsibility. But you might as well listen to your uncle's advice! In the future, if there is a fight, it doesn't matter where the fight is, you remember, don't get into trouble immediately! Now that you are free, why not avoid suspicion to the end, retreat a little, and ask others to compete for merit first. If you can win a battle easily, it doesn't hurt to ask others to fight, and in the end it's not a big credit. Wait until others can't win, you think you can, and then come out to the rescue! Got it, at that time, not only did you show your ability to save the trouble, but the enemy also lost its strength, and the chance of victory was greater. If it's a battle that you're not sure of, then it's a different matter, and you can't accept it lightly! ”

He paused, "You may look down on your uncle's way of being a human being." But these are my uncle's experiences as an official for many years, and they are all lessons! Of course, you should serve the court, so why not think about it for yourself. Your father, he was just too loyal, he didn't think about himself at all, that's why ......"

Cui Daoji stopped suddenly and shook his head.

"In short, it's all a lesson from the past! Bloody lesson! You must listen to your uncle's words, and don't be brave in your flesh! Think twice, it won't hurt you! ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that his nephew was silent all the time, and couldn't help urging: "Did you listen?" If you don't, I won't be at ease when I go out! ”

"I made a note of it. Thank you uncle for the point, I will definitely consider it carefully. Finally, Pei Xiaoyuan responded.
