10 State of affairs
Chapter 10 --- the state of affairs
At that time, in the dead of night, the veil in Yan Xi's room moved slightly, and Qinglian carefully opened a gap and walked out, turned around and seriously covered the light veil.
She walked to the candlelight, extinguished a candle, turned back to study the lady's movements, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, and relieved herself.
Back in the room, Peach had not yet gone to bed, lighting the lamp and drawing something in front of the table, Qinglian walked by, looked at the paper, laughed, and urged: "Hurry up and go to sleep!" Not to mention, in the past few years, I have been painting with Miss, and your painting skills have become more and more sophisticated. β
Peach didn't follow her words, but "snorted" angrily.
"You won't let me go! You know how torturous it is to wait at home! What can I do? Draw more snow lotus, pray for the young lady, and bless the young lady with good luck!! β
Qinglian sighed silently.
The "Snow Lotus" incident was a childish childish tale of the young lady who had fun before the Shen family had an accident.
Because of the white and flawless nature of the birth, it is very good-looking, and it is the favorite flower of the young lady when she is a little big, and she gives it a special meaning, saying that this snow lotus is her lucky flower and can protect her. But that's an old thing, and no one remembers it anymore.
Peach mentioned it at this time, and kept painting here angrily, but it was just to show her and get angry at her.
After a moment of silence, Qinglian spoke softly.
"There is always someone left in the cabinet to cover, isn't Jiang Shizi here today?"
"Then you stay!"
"I'm not afraid that it won't go well, what's the danger..."
Peach twisted her body, snorted, her eyes gradually reddened, and scolded in a low voice: "Rotten good person!" β
*******
The next day, Yan Xi woke up early and prepared early, just waiting for the time to go out as promised.
She was worried in her heart, saying that she was not afraid that it must be false, but she didn't know what Lu insisted on, and with that dream, no one could feel at ease.
The only good thing at the moment is that the place where he met is Jingzhao Mansion.
Jingzhao Mansion, after all, is a yamen.
Seeing that the hour was near, a second-class maidservant knocked on the door.
The three people in the room sat and stood in pairs, all a little nervous and absent-minded, and suddenly they were startled when they heard the knock on the door.
Peach was the first to speak: "Who, who?" What's the matter? β
The maidservant girl outside said: "It's me, Xiaoliu, Miss Peach, the old lady sent a bowl of lotus seed soup to Miss in the room, saying that it is getting colder and colder, and she will make up for Miss Miss." β
Yan Xi heard it and let Taohong open the door.
The door opened, and Koyanagi handed her the food box.
Pink let people go out first.
Qinglian came over to help, took out the contents of the box, turned her head to Yan Xi and asked:
"Can you eat it?"
Yan Xi didn't eat anything for breakfast and lunch, and he didn't have much appetite because of something, and the same is true now.
But of course, you can't help but eat what the old lady sent.
The little girl nodded, got up, and sat down at the table.
Since the beginning of winter, the old lady and the lady have been thinking about her body, and this is not the first time that they have brought her food.
Yan Xi ate a small half bowl, her stomach was quite warm, but it was comfortable, and when she dropped the spoon, Qinglian said, "Miss, it's time to go..."
Yan Xi's heartstrings tightened and nodded.
RosΓ© sent the two of them all the way to the Hanging Flower Gate.
When I got out of the gate and walked out a short distance, the carriage that had been hired was waiting.
Yan Xi hugged Tang Pozi and was helped up by the maidservant, her eyes were a little afraid to look around, for fear of being seen.
Qinglian said the location with the groom, got into the car, closed the curtain, and from time to time, the car gradually got up.
Yan Xi sat there obediently, his clothes and hat were not taken off, and he was always holding the soup woman in his hand to keep warm, trembling.
Because of the state of affairs, and because she ran out secretly after all.
She is very well-behaved, very timid, and not an unruly person, but she has been out of the house twice in a row yesterday and today, and she is afraid that her wife and old lady will know.
But she didn't think too much about it, and after about a quarter of an hour of running in the carriage, she suddenly felt something strange in her body, and she was not very comfortable.
Yan Xi didn't say it, even with Qinglian, who was so close.
Because it wasn't a pain, it wasn't even uncomfortable, it was an extremely subtle feeling......
After a while, she realized something of what it was, blushed slightly, and turned to heat.
The maidservant girl on the side didn't notice her abnormality, and occasionally greeted her with warmth, and was very concerned, but Yan Xi didn't listen to a word, she kept her head down, and she was so ashamed that she was so frightened that she was about to cry: how could she suddenly ......
She had never thought of such a thing before.
Those dozen dreams, the first few times, when I woke up, I was scared to cry.
Now, how can it be......
However, the mind was soon occupied by instinct, and the mind gradually became chaotic......
At this moment, the carriage, which had been galloping, suddenly slowed down, and the horse neighed, and was reined in, and actually stopped.
Yan Xi didn't have time to think about what was going on, and Qinglian's surprise question came from his ears:
"W-where is this?! How did you get here? We're going to Gyeongzhaofu! But on the wrong track?! Feed! Speak! You speak! β
She knocked vigorously on the carriage, and was about to open the door to go out, intending to get out of the carriage and question the groom, but before her hand touched the door, she had already heard the chaotic footsteps, and she was one step ahead of her, and the door of the carriage was dragged open from the outside.
Three men immediately met her eyes, one of them was dressed in white, holding a folding fan in one hand, gauze wrapped in the other, his eyes were round, he didn't look at her at all, and went straight behind her, the person was Wang Qing'an!
"Wang Qing'an, you!"
The maid didn't finish a sentence, and was immediately covered by the two people next to Wang Qingan, dragged out of the car, and tied up.
"Woo! Woo! Woo! β
Everything was only in a moment, although her brain was almost unable to think, but the little girl in the car immediately reacted to what had happened, including why she felt so strange.
"You..."
The soup woman in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", Yan Xi turned around, kept retreating, leaning on the carriage, the already extremely delicate little face was even more charming like a begonia at this time, shocking, the fragrance emitted by the delicate body, even in winter through heavy clothes, is still very distinct. Floating into Wang Qing'an's snort, the man was even more enchanted.
"My heart, why are you so beautiful, so delicate, so fragrant, but you really want my father's life! Ye just died for you, it's all worth it! β
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't wait to climb into the car.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the master will pity you, but when you don't say it, I won't say it, no one will know....."
He said and laughed, one leg knee was already on the car, but at this moment, the person's side waist was suddenly hit by something, "sigh", because of the serious injury of his left hand, he did not struggle, did not hold the car door, and fell straight down.
Then there was a cacophony of footsteps.
Yan Xi, who had been scared half to death, only felt that it was difficult to breathe, his vision became more and more blurred, and his ears gradually became deaf.
I don't know if it's the effect of the drug or it's pure fright, and the consciousness will be unclear.
Before she knew it, a tall man appeared in front of her.
The man took off his cloak and wrapped it around her, revealing only half of her face.
Then she felt herself being picked up by him, and then she felt as if she were unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, she finally had a slight sense again, she felt the silky quilt softly, there seemed to be a good smell of incense between her noses, and she seemed to be sweating a lot...
However, these feelings were very faint, and they were quickly overwhelmed by a wave of instinct.
Her slender white hand unconsciously tugged at her shirt, panting heavily, and her mouth made a choppy and soft sound.
After a while, her blurred vision gradually became clearer.
Flickering in the light and dark, under the shadow of the red candle, she saw a person.
The first thing that caught her eye was his waist.
A piece of white mutton fat jade pendant hung from his dark waistband.
On top of the jade pendant, it is faintly visible, engraved with a white snow lotus.
Looking at it, the trend is like a knife and a pen, and it is an extremely good-looking man's face.
She raised her hand and tugged at his garment little by little, but she had no strength, several times, just grabbed it, and then let go.
Finally, for the last time, she moved her hand up inch by inch, grabbed his clothes, and with her weak strength, slowly pulled the person to her side.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many times she pulled him, before the man moved...
Lu Zhi leaned over, pinched her sweaty little face, and his voice was very low.
"Are you awake?"
The little girl's lips furrowed one by one, and she nodded slowly.
Lu Zhi said unhurriedly: "Know who I am?" β
Yan Xi was still the same, nodding slowly in his palm.
The corners of Lu Zhi's lips moved meaninglessly, and his big hand stroked her delicate face, detached:
"I've sent someone to dispense your medicine, and you just have to endure it for another half an hour..."
"If not, bear with it..."
The little girl shook her head, and again, and again...
Lu Zhi tugged at his thin lips.....
