46. Hypocrisy
The sky was getting darker and darker, and there was no sound of the wind blowing the leaves all around, and nothing could be heard, and the red lanterns hanging on the promenade were swaying slightly in the wind, if it was normal, Wei Ruge would definitely be scared and ran away.
But at this moment, Wei Ruge's mind is full of the conversation between Tao Yunfei and Xiao Qi just now, is it that she has always been making herself amorous?
Now that she can survive, it seems that she really has to thank Nangong Yuelan, if it weren't for his timely appearance, I'm afraid she wouldn't know until she died, whose knife she died in.
It turns out that the most vicious people are often those who look weak on the outside.
Today, Wei Ruge can be regarded as a teacher.
Sitting in one position for a long time, and curled up in the cracks of the rocks, Wei Ruge felt that her legs were a little sore, so she stood up with the rocks, I don't know if it was because of the fever, as soon as she stood up, Wei Ruge felt that her eyes were dark, and her brain was very confused, she hurriedly leaned on the rockery, closed her eyes, and eased up for a long time.
Looking at the teapot that had been held tightly in her arms, Wei Ruge didn't have the heart to drink water, now she just wanted to go back quickly, climb into bed and sleep well, maybe this was a dream she had, and when she woke up, everything was back to normal.
Holding the teapot, she returned the same way, and when she walked to the door of her room, she saw a black shadow wandering at the door of her room, when Wei Ruge saw this black shadow, her heart was suddenly shocked, her hands shook, and the teapot in her hand slipped down from her arms and fell to the ground, only to hear a broken sound.
The black shadow heard the voice and turned his head to look in the direction of Wei Ruge, even though the sky was very dark, only the light of a few lanterns, but Wei Ruge still saw the sharp eyes full of vigilance.
"Ruge, where have you been?" the black shadow called Wei Ruge's name, and approached her step by step.
"I ...... I'm a little thirsty...... Xiao Qi, why are you so late?" Wei Ruge tried her best to show herself calm, but she was still a little flustered, and even stammered when she spoke, and when she saw Xiao Qi approaching her, she subconsciously took two steps back.
"Ruge, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qi's soft voice was full of concern, and even his eyes turned into inquiries in an instant.
"No, nothing......" Wei Ruge shook his head, trying to avoid any contact with Xiao Qi.
The man who was still talking about how to kill him in an evil tone just now became the other person who had gained her trust and even regarded him as her best friend.
After dodging twice in a row, Wei Ruge found that there was doubt in Xiao Qi's eyes, and suddenly thought that she had just overheard their conversation, and she couldn't show it now, otherwise, it would be easy for him to be killed here at night.
"I, I'm really nothing, I just felt thirsty just now, and I fainted after walking a short distance......" Wei Ruge lied and scratched his head while smirking at Xiao Qi.
Seeing that Wei Ruge had returned to his original state, Xiao Qi finally put his mind at ease, walked over, and stretched out his hand to support Wei Ruge, "Come, I'll help you into the house." You're always so frizzy. ”
Wei Ruge turned his head sideways, looking at Xiao Qi with a gentle face, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart, how could such a Xiao Qi be a bad person! Wei Ruge questioned himself.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Qi asked, finding that Wei Ruge had been staring at him.
"Ah...... No, nothing...... It's Xiao who said to Xiao Qi...... Thank you Xiao Qi, thank you ......" Wei Ruge said the truth, this thank you is to thank Xiao Qi who once gave her infinitely beautiful illusions, the Xiao Qi who was gentle to her, thought about her everywhere, and helped her.
"Hehe, what is there to thank for. Xiao Qi helped Wei Ruge to the chair and sat down, took out an ointment from his arms and handed it to Wei Ruge, "When I came last time, I found that the ointment I gave you last time was used up, use this, don't leave a scar on your neck." After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he put the ointment on the table.
Wei Ruge looked at the ointment, and subconsciously touched his neck, there was a not very deep scar here, which was the trace left by the big man when he took her hostage during the last hunt.
This is obviously what he left, why do you have to pretend to be a good person to help her! Wei Ruge felt a terrible headache when he thought of this question.
"Are you okay? Why don't I go and pour you a pot of tea?" Xiao Qi asked with concern when he saw Wei Ruge frowning and painful.
"No need. Wei Ruge smiled and shook his head, "It's late, Xiao Qi, you can also go and rest, there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow, I'll just sleep for one night." Wei Ruge smiled weakly at Xiao Qi.
"Is it really okay?" Xiao Qi asked uncertainly.
"It's fine. Wei Ruge shook his head.
"Well, you have a good rest. I'll see you again tomorrow. After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he left.
Seeing that Xiao Qi was gone, Wei Ruge climbed into bed weakly, if the previous weakness was due to the wind chill contracted by falling into the water, then the current powerlessness definitely came from the heart.
After covering the quilt, Wei Ruge closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything.
This night, Wei Ruge tossed and turned, but when he got up the next morning, his head was even more dizzy than yesterday.
But today is an important day for Nangong Yuelan, so Wei Ruge adjusted her state and went to wait for Nangong Yuelan to get up, what do you think, Nangong Yuelan has already gotten up.
"The banquet is in the afternoon, so before you go get some sleep again. Nangong Yuelan looked at the listless Wei Ruge and said casually.
"Huh?" Wei Ruge looked at Nangong Yuelan's back and was stunned.
Nangong Yuelan turned her head with a smile, walked in front of Wei Ruge, stretched out her hand and patted her head, and said softly: "You still have to stay by my side to serve at the banquet, I don't want you to faint while standing." ”
Seeing that Wei Ruge didn't react, Nangong Yuelan turned around, stretched out her hand to her bed, and said jokingly: "If you can't bear me, how about sleeping in my bed?"
After Wei Ruge listened, three black lines slid down from the top of his head, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'd better go back to sleep, and I'll come back in the afternoon." ”
Nangong Yuelan smiled and nodded.
So Wei Ruge blushed and bowed his head and walked out of Nangong Yuelan's room.
Maybe he was really tired, this time, Wei Ruge didn't lie in bed for long, and then fell asleep.
If someone hadn't called her to lunch, I'm afraid she would have slept until the next morning.
I don't know if everyone is preparing for the distinguished guests who came today, even the lunch is very simple, anyway, Wei Ruge has no appetite, and after a few simple bites, he went to Nangong Yuelan.
On the way to Nangong Yuelan's courtyard, Wei Ruge Yu met the person he didn't want to see now, Tao Yunfei.
Seeing Tao Yunfei from a distance, Wei Ruge hurriedly lowered her head and walked towards the fork next to her, but after walking a few steps, she heard Tao Yunfei call her.
"Like a song girl. ”
The business was sweet and smiling, but the voice was like a dagger inserted into Wei Ruge's heart, stimulating every nerve in her and only making her tremble.
It was impossible to pretend not to hear, Wei Ruge stopped, lowered his head, turned around, and stood in place.
"I thought I was wrong, but she was really a singing girl. Tao Yunfei twisted her waist and walked over with a spring breeze on her face.
In fact, Wei Ruge had discovered that after Luo Xuewen was kicked out of the Twilight Sky Pavilion, Tao Yunfei's mental state seemed to be much better than before, and her identity and status had suddenly changed from being unpopular to now everyone was stammering.
"The slave maid asks for peace to the little master Tao. Wei Ruge lowered his head and blessed Tao Yunfei.
This move made Tao Yunfei stunned, she hurriedly reached out to help Wei Ruge up, and asked puzzledly: "Miss Ruge, what's wrong with you, why did you suddenly get separated from me?" Could it be that Xiaoxi accidentally pushed you off the lotus pond yesterday?"
"No, no, no......" Wei Ruge hurriedly shook his head and denied, "How dare the slave." "Wei Ruge is a person who doesn't hide her inner thoughts, so it's really too difficult for her to pretend that she doesn't know anything and treat her like before.
"Master Tao, don't be careful, I just feel that I used to do things too unruly, you are the master, I am a slave, whether you speak or do things, you must conform to your identity...... So ......" Wei Ruge wanted to explain as much as he could. She can't act like she knows everything.
"What should I be!" Tao Yunfei laughed when she heard Wei Ruge's words, "It's that you think too much, from the moment I saw you for the first time, you said that I looked very much like your old friend, I looked at you differently, so we don't want to divide any master and servant, let's be friends?"
"Little Lord Tao is in love......" Wei Ruge lowered her head, not knowing what to say, because when she heard this now, she felt so funny and harsh.
"By the way, I heard that you had a very hot fever yesterday, are you getting better now?" Tao Yunfei said, leaning back and touching Wei Ruge's forehead.
"It's all right......" Wei Ruge didn't dare to hide, she wanted to end this hypocritical conversation as soon as possible.
"Wei Ruge, I've been waiting for you for a long time, do you want to be lazy?"
Suddenly, Nangong Yuelan's voice came from the front, Wei Ruge looked up, and saw Nangong Yuelan standing five steps away from them, full of energy and radiant, it seemed that he had a full grasp of today's banquet.
"Thirteenth Master......" Wei Ruge had never seen Nangong Yuelan so close as she was now, she hurriedly ran over, waiting for Nangong Yuelan to tease her with all kinds of sharp words, because even if she was ridiculed by Nangong Yuelan, it was better than Tao Yunfei's false sweet words.
"The concubine is a concubine, please say goodbye to the thirteenth master. Tao Yunfei walked over and blessed herself in front of Nangong Yuelan.
"Tao Yunfei, how are you preparing?" Nangong Yuelan asked with a smile.
