15 Chapter 15
She seemed to sleep well, quietly, well-behaved, her white cheeks were slightly reddened, her breathing was smooth and long, and her long, docile eyelashes fluttered gently with her breath, like black feathers, casting two arc-shaped reflections under her eyes.
The faint smell of blood that had been lingering on the tip of the nose seemed to be diluted.
In her place, there was a fragrant fragrance on her body.
Why the hell is she here today? Is it a coincidence that she and the Assassin appeared at the same time?
"Hoo ......"
Her originally long and steady breathing suddenly took a beat, as if she was not lying comfortably, her slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and her tender white cheeks rubbed back and forth on the back of her hand.
She was asleep on her side, her clothes were all piled together, her white neckline was torn apart, and a white and delicate neck was exposed, decorated with a few green silks, I don't know if it was because of the moonlight, it looked even more white.
Even if he didn't think about it, his body had already helped him recall the feeling of holding her under him, soft, weak, and the psoas muscles wrapped around his legs had a soft toughness, like a tender wicker clinging to a rock.
Cen Canaan's out-of-focus eyes darkened.
Cen Canaan's Adam's apple moved slightly, unconsciously tightened his fist, and then slowly released, tightened again, and released again......
The two closed eyelashes trembled and trembled, and then opened them slowly, and a pair of black and starry eyes looked at him in a daze.
Meeting those clean eyes, Cen Jianan subconsciously tilted his head to the right.
The left eye, which was seen as an anomaly, was hidden in the shadows of the carriage.
He looked at her again, and she obviously broke through his peep, but she didn't seem to be frightened at all, but looked like she was used to it, raised her hand, covered her mouth and yawned delicately, and then said to him vaguely with a small nasal voice that had just woken up: "Ah, why did you come back." ”
This sentence sounded so ambiguous, so like what a wife said to her husband, it made his heart tremble for no reason, and Cen Jianan's cold face became even colder.
Tan Baolu sat up half-asleep and rubbed her eyelids with the back of her hand.
Now this scene is actually quite sparse and ordinary for her.
In the five years she was floating, she couldn't be too far away from Cen Canaan for a moment.
Cen Canaan is a living person, she is a dead person, Cen Canaan can sleep, she can't even sleep.
So when Cen Canaan fell asleep, she continued to float.
She is already a cigarette, so there is no need to talk about the difference between men and women.
Cen Canaan's bed was very large, and she lay in the corner of Cen Canaan's big bed and pretended to sleep. Every time he turned sideways in boredom, what caught her eyes was his straight nose, smooth jaw, and deep eyebrow bones......
Sometimes she raised her hand to iron Cen Canaan's frowning brow. But she was a soul, and her fingers could only pass between Cen Canaan's eyebrows.
Fortunately, Cen Canaan sleeps for a short time, never sleeps, and can recharge her energy in three hours a day at most, which makes her have a lot less boring moments.
Now that she suddenly opened her eyes in such a trance, and saw Cen Jianan again, she thought that she was still being a Piao.
Tan Baolu finished yawning lazily, and her sober consciousness finally occupied the high ground.
Her eyes widened slowly......
The pupils widened again......
Tan Baolu: "......"
Cengaan had already sat on the throne.
He sat up straight, his left hand clenched into a fist against the corner of his lips, and coughed lowly, "Ahem......"
Tan Baolu grabbed the corner of her skirt, moved to the side, let go inside, and gave him all the seats in the car, "Your Highness." ”
Cen Jianan changed into a cyan round-necked regular uniform to reduce the cold side of his temperament, but he was still arrogant and cold, and he was unapproachable. He asked her in a low voice, "Why are you waiting for this king here?" ”
Tan Baolu pursed her lips. She wanted to leave, but Cen Canaan's guards were a dead brain, saying that since His Highness had ordered him to stay here, he couldn't leave, and he had to stay until Cen Canaan came back.
"Didn't you order me to stay here, Your Highness?"
Cen Canaan's jaw tightened slightly, and he didn't say anything more.
Tan Baolu glanced down at Cen Canaan's hand.
Cen Canaan had a white bandage wrapped around the palm of his right hand.
He was still injured, but the wound on his palm, no matter how severe, was only a flesh wound, which would heal in a few days, and would no longer affect him to draw his bow and shoot arrows. This shows that things are constantly moving on the good side.
Cen Jianan seemed to notice her tentative gaze, and said, "Small injury, no problem. ”
"Oh." Tan Baolu was about to turn her head, when she suddenly heard Cen Jianan ask her: "Your eldest brother is doing things in Dayu now?" ”
"Yes." Tan Baolu nodded and replied: "My brother was ordered to build Dayu Ridge Road in Dayu. ”
That day, she heard several officials talking about Dayu Lingdao in Cen Jianan's bedroom. In her previous life, her eldest brother was excluded, and the source was the embezzlement of funds for the construction of Dayu Ling Road, and she wanted to take the opportunity to say some good things for her eldest brother in front of Cen Jianan, and seek some room for maneuver for her eldest brother to be imprisoned later.
Tan Baolu: "Your Royal Highness, my eldest brother Tan Yu is a good person and a good official, he was honest and loved the people when Dayu was an official, his sleeves were clean, and he didn't go home for a long time for official business, and he didn't even get married until now." ”
Cen Jianan listened silently, suddenly lifted his thin eyelids, looked at her with burning eyes, and asked her: "You deliberately entered the carriage of this king today, did you know in advance that the Dayu Lingdao conscripts planned to assassinate this king?" ”
Talking about Baolu's back, he secretly called the big thing bad.
Cen Jianan is too smart, and he guesses eight or nine without leaving ten.
But she also quickly calmed down. She was sure that Cen Canaan was cheating on her now.
Cen Canaan has absolutely no tangible evidence to prove that she has anything to do with this matter, she has nothing to do with this matter, she is just reborn and foresees the future in advance. Of course, she couldn't tell Cen Canaan about the reason of rebirth, and if she wanted to settle this matter, she had to find another excuse.
She forced herself to compose, twisted her skirt with her fingers, pretended to be innocent and innocent who knew nothing, and said softly, "The little girl doesn't know anything. The little girl is just a weak woman, if the little girl can know, she must run far in advance. ”
She wiped her eyes with her cuffs just right, wiping away the tears that were scared out of her non-existent at all, "Your Highness, today's assassination is so terrifying!" When the little girl just got out of the car, she saw several big arrow holes on the wall of the car! If it weren't for His Highness saving the little girl, the little girl, the little girl really doesn't know what to do......"
She performed very hard, and her shoulders were strained.
At the end of the performance, I felt that I had acted a little too much.
Cen Canaan is not stupid, can he still be deceived by her clumsy little trick?
Tan Baolu said and spoke, quietly silent.
Cen Jianan listened silently, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice, "There is no need to be afraid. ”
Tan Baolu looked up at Cen Jianan with some surprise.
The moonlight was as warm as water, which made Cen Jianan look a little mild, and his angular face was soaked in the silent moonlight, and he said softly: "The assassins have confessed their sins, and all of them will be imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and the punishment will be divided by the law in the near future." So no one will come and hurt you. You don't need to be afraid. Things like today's will never happen again. ”
Cen Canaan's voice was deep, making the glance at the explanation sound comforting.
Tan Baolu was originally deceiving people, but now he has deceived Cen Jianan, but he has no sense of accomplishment. She never relied on others, and she never expected the care of others, so she was suddenly burned by the warmth brought by Cen Jianan, and it was inevitable that she was a little uncomfortable.
She lowered her head and said softly, "Well, Xie, Your Highness." ”
She looked at Cen Canaan's hand resting on her knee.
The white bandages on the palms of his hands had fallen apart at some point, and two white cloth heads hung down at both ends.
Tan Baolu said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let me help you tie the bandage." ”
Cen Canaan looked at her, didn't speak, but didn't mean to refuse.
Tan Baolu leaned over silently and carefully picked up the white cloth at both ends.
When it was fastened, her eyes had to look at Cen Canaan's hand.
Cen Canaan's palm is so big and thick, she needs to use both hands at the same time to be able to hold one of his. With such a big hand, it seems that he can easily control a lot of things.
She held her breath and carefully moved her fingers, trying not to accidentally touch his skin as she had done this morning.
The bandages were folded, looped, interspersed through, and tightened on the back of his hand......
"As for your eldest brother," Cen Canaan's deep voice came from above her head.
Tan Baolu looked up curiously, and Cen Jianan looked down at her, so close to her, so close that she almost hit the tip of his nose, and could see his eyelashes, intertwined with his breath and breath.
She quickly let go of her hand and leaned back.
Cen Jianan also withdrew his hand, rested his palm on his knee, and continued to say to her: "Whether being an official is a good official or not, it should not be just a lip service. Whether you are a good official or not depends on the results and performance. ”
Tan Baolu couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that His Royal Highness only looks at the results and not the mind when he looks at people and employs people?" ”
"Yes." Cen Canaan could not refute, "If a person with an honest and honest character does not know how to act flexibly and does not know how to protect himself, he will also do things that harm others and himself, and harm the interests of the people; Even if you have a heart of love for the people, if you have mediocre qualifications and lack wisdom in talent and learning, and what you have achieved will not be harmed at the beginning, it will be eaten back in the future and will be harmful for thousands of years. To be a man, you can talk about your heart and no traces; But being an official is only about deeds. ”
Talking about Baolu was speechless for a long time. It seems that Cen Jianan, in the principle of being an official and doing things, is a person who is far more practical than ideal. If you want to get a glimmer of life for your eldest brother from him, it is completely useless to move with affection, and only by exchanging absolute interests can you impress him......
The body shook, Tan Baolu turned her head to look out the window, not knowing where Cen Jianan was going to take her again. Unconsciously, the scenery in front of her became more and more familiar, and Tan Baolu realized that the carriage had already driven to her way home.
The carriage slowly drove into the alley in front of the door of Tanfu, and there were two little maids in front of the door, one was building a ladder and the other was lighting a lamp, and the two were chatting non-stop, and they didn't see Cen Jianan's carriage approaching.
"See, the third girl didn't come back tonight."
"Hehe, what's so strange about this? The last time the emperor had a birthday banquet, wasn't she sent out? I've heard that she was given not only to one person, but to several princes. ”
"It's disgusting, I think of this kind of person I have to serve every day, I ...... Bah! ”
"It's a shame for an official lady to be like this......"
These words clearly drifted into Tan Baolu's ears.
For such rumors, it doesn't matter if you talk about Baolu.
She had expected that someone would say that behind her back. These teenage little maids are ignorant, and most of the words they say are learned from their masters. How ugly they are now, the words that their masters are scolding behind their backs will only get worse.
She always felt that her mouth grew on other people's faces, and others could say whatever they liked, as long as she didn't go to her heart and focused on herself, these words couldn't hurt her.
But today is different, today, Cen Canaan is also here.
The carriage was cramped, with only palm-sized space, and sat beside her, with a cyan hem stacked over her skirt. She could hear every word clearly. Cen Jianan still has martial arts on him, and he will only hear it more clearly.
Tan Baolu suddenly couldn't breathe.
What would Cen Canaan think of her?
She always seemed to show her unbearable side in front of Cen Canaan. The first time they met, she was dancing for He Dongyan, and the second time they met, she was sent to his bed.
The embarrassment of being sacrificed to the superior as an object is all back, Cen Jianan is also a man, will his thoughts be the same as the Ah Niu in the mouth of this little maid?
Tan Baolu pinched her fingertips, and quickly dispelled these negative thoughts in her mind with a hint of pain.
She repeatedly told herself that she wasn't trying to win anyone's favor this time.
Tan Baolu tilted his head up, sat up straight, put on the most gentle and decent smile on his face, and said to Cen Jianan generously, "His Royal Highness King Wulie." ”
Cen Jianan looked at her with a grim face.
Tan Baolu said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me home today, the little girl ...... first."
Before she finished saying the word "retirement", Cen Jianan was a step ahead of her and went straight to the carriage.
