Chapter 43: Unexpected Secrets

Qingtian first returned to the Chenghua Palace, and ordered Yanwu to investigate, what happened in the Chenghua Hall yesterday?

One morning, Qingtian was a little restless, and in the afternoon, he put down some things, returned to Yongzheng Palace early, and saw Yanwu as soon as he entered the palace gate.

Yan Wu told Qingtian that yesterday the scholar was punished by Wu Mei Niangniang for kneeling for three hours for his private use of painting brocade.

Qing Tian naturally knew about the intrigues and tricks and methods of competing for favor in the harem, and he really wanted to see Xiao Wu immediately, who was implicated and wronged because of his thoughtlessness.

As soon as I entered the Chenghua Palace, I heard Guiyan's voice coming from the study, "Xiao Wu, the prince's brother has to check his homework tomorrow, I haven't prepared it yet, this article is really difficult to do."

Optimus quietly returned to the dormitory, wanting to hear what they had to say?

"It's okay, it's still in a hurry, use the method I told you, concentrate and meditate, and you will definitely be able to handle it after a while! I believe in you!"

Listening to Xiao Wu's tone, Qingtian didn't seem to be sad or sad, so he let go of a lot of worries.

"Xiao Wu, you endorse the book, how many times do you usually have to memorize it?"

"Uh-huh, if I want to memorize it, I can do it all over again."

"Really?", Qingtian heard Zixiao's surprised voice.

"Xiao Wu, you brag, you can remember it once, I don't believe it!", Guiyan was full of disbelief.

Xiao Wu responded confidently, "If you don't believe it, then try it...... But if you lose, you have to bring five jars of osmanthus wine."

If I lose, don't talk about the five altars, I'll give you the ten altars...... Hehe, Xiao Wu, you just memorize this set of boxing techniques", Guiyan knew that Xiao Wu was not interested in martial arts, so naturally he didn't usually read this kind of book, he thought he was smart enough to take out the boxing book to test Xiao Wu.

Hearing the sound of Shujian unfolding, it was also half a pillar of incense, "Okay! It's okay", and after that, I heard Xiao Wu's recitation, "The magic of boxing lies in ...... Static braking, the square is fundamental".

When Xiao Wu recited, there was a constant sound of heavy objects knocking on the case, and the more he memorized to the end, the faster and louder the percussion became, until Xiao Wu finished reciting.

"Wow, Xiao Wu, you can really remember it over and over again, it's amazing!", it was Zixiao's voice, and there was surprise and excitement in his voice.

"Wow, wow, Xiao Wu, you're amazing...... After serving you, how many surprises are still hidden in you?...... Don't forget, there are really such people in the world, who lose your ten jars of wine, and lose your heart...... Cute little white deer, come and hug, hahaha".

Xiao Wu said "Oops!", which made Gui Yan's laughter stop abruptly, thinking that Gui Yan was overjoyed and hurt Xiao Wu.

Immediately afterwards, Zixiao's concerned and worried voice came, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with your leg?" I feel that something is wrong with you today, ...... Let me show you."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a little scrape, I've been drugged, it's not in the way...... How can I be so squeamish? Okay, okay...... You two don't want to be beaten, so sit down and read a book now."

Standing in the dormitory, Qingtian was also shocked that Xiao Wu had the ability to never forget, there was such a talented little girl, who was by his side every day, and the corners of Qingtian's mouth unconsciously aroused a touch of pride. In just a moment, I felt distressed again, and Xiao Wu hid her thoughts and grievances in her heart.

Qingtian walked out of the dormitory, pretending to have just entered the door, and walked into the "sea of books". When the three men saw him come in, they all knelt down and saluted. When Xiao Wu was about to fall down and bow down, he was held up by Qingtian and stopped by his hands: "In private, there is no need to make a big salute."

Xiao Wu and Qingtian met each other, their eyes were full of affection, meaning and shyness.

This series of actions fell into Zixiao's eyes, he felt his heart ache violently, and found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and Guiyan also said goodbye and chased out.

Zi Xiao walked fast, and Gui Yan couldn't stop it, he complained: "Hey, Zi Xiao, don't go so fast? What's wrong with you? It's okay?"

Zi Xiao turned his head suddenly, frowned, and his expression was complicated: "I have something, so I'll leave first", after speaking, he cleared the smoke and left.

Looking at Zixiao, who had a sudden change in emotion, Guiyan was the second monk of Zhang, who was confused, touched his head, and nagged to himself, "Huh?...... What's going on?".

Zi Xiao went to the edge of Xuanqi Pond in a state of confusion, sat down under a tree in a forest, looked at the sun-dappled grass in front of him, and was in a daze. This is the place where he first saw Xiao Wu's original body, Xiao Bailu, the scene of that day and the affectionate gaze of the prince's brother just now alternated, Zi Xiao bit his lip tightly, and was in pain.

Zi Xiao has been waiting for Xiao Wu to grow up, and has been waiting silently for more than 80 years...... He saw her grow taller and understood the situation, and was about to confess to her, but when he liked her, the prince's brother suddenly intervened.

From the time she saw the little white deer, Zi Xiao had already liked those clear and beautiful eyes. He had already made up his mind that he would not let Xiao Wu go anywhere, he wanted to marry her and protect her, as she said, as long as she was alone in this life, the two would stay together for a lifetime and never give up. Zi Xiao has thought about the scene when she married Xiao Wu countless times, and she has thought about it a lot, and she feels that the real one is like a fixed fact.

However, I didn't expect that all my plans and dreams were shattered by the amorous eyes of the prince's brother, and the sensitive and careful Zi Xiao pounced, the prince's brother fell in love with Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu also had the prince's brother in his heart.

Zi Xiao was reminiscing, suffering, and struggling in the place where he met Xiao Wu......

Seeing that Xiao Wu was still standing with a bow, Qingtian patted the position beside him, and said softly: "Xiao Wu, sit here."

Xiao Wu came to Qingtian's side with some friction and sat down on her knees slowly, the pain in her knees still made her tremble unconsciously.

Qingtian was a little annoyed with Xiao Wu's recklessness, and said angrily: "This gentleman let you sit down."

Xiao Wu raised her big eyes and glanced at Qingtian, her eyes met, and she saw that there was a gentle look of pity in her deep eyes, so she sat down slowly and obediently.

"Pull up the corners of your pants and let Benjun see, how is the injury?"

"Ah?...... No, there is, a little bruise, the slave and maid dare not ...... Slaves...... Make tea for His Highness", Xiao Wu said incoherently as she got up in a panic and walked out.

I only felt a wave of qi dragging me backwards from behind, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu had fallen in the crook of Qingtian's strong arm.

Qingtian helped Xiao Wu to sit down, and before she could react, he opened her trouser leg and saw the wound simply wrapped in a white cloth, and there were blood stains on the white cloth.

Xiao Wu used his hand to block Qingtian's hand, and was stared at by his sharp gaze like a knife, and he didn't dare to move again.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was honest, Qingtian had a cold face, and slowly opened the bandage, only to see that the knees were bruised, the black scabs had been broken, bright red blood oozed from the black cracks, and pus and blood were still flowing in some places.

Obviously, the wound has not been medicated, Qingtian glared at Xiao Wu with anger, took out a knife, a vial and some bandaging supplies from his sleeve, and said: "It will hurt a little, bear with me", as he spoke, he scraped off the purulent part with the knife, and the blood flowed out.

Although the pain was a little shivering, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

Catching a glimpse of the sweat on Xiao Wu's forehead, although Qingtian was annoyed, he was even more distressed, the movements in his hands were very gentle, and after scraping, he applied the white medicine in the bottle to the wound thickly, and then carefully bandaged it with a medicinal cloth.

"How did you get the wound?", Qingtian asked, checking the other leg, but fortunately it was only bruised, and he only dealt with it briefly, "Didn't hear Ben Jun ask?".

Xiao Wu touched her head, her face was full of embarrassment, and she said embarrassedly: "Oh, it's from the tree...... Accidentally fell ...... It's okay, the slave is not so squeamish."

Qingtian leaned forward, his face facing Xiao Wu's face, so close that even the heat of his breath could hit her face, "Then, why did the scar crack again?...... Why don't you apply medicine if you have an injury?".

The prince with a displeased face was so close to him, Xiao Wu's flustered "bang" jumped, "Oh, yes...... I accidentally touched it again, but I haven't had time to take the medicine...... Ah, it's just a small injury, there is His Royal Highness Lao, and the slave and maid are ......".

Qingtian grabbed Xiao Wu's hand violently, his face was anxious, and his eyes were full ?......of affection, "Don't say anything about slaves and maids!

Sensing his gaffe, Qingtian's eyes gradually became cold mist again, "You are Benjun...... Difficulty...... Cultivated single-handedly, this gentleman does not allow you to abuse yourself...... If there is a next time, I will not spare it!".

Looking at Qingtian's uncertain face, Xiao Wu was at a loss.

After a long silence, Qingcai said in a whimsical and absent-minded manner, "You are injured, so you don't have to serve today."

"Yes!"

Xiao Wu responded, and walked out of the study after giving a salute, and Qingtian's eyes kept chasing her back until she disappeared.

Xiao Wu would rather not take the medicine, and boiled until the wound suppurated, but she stubbornly refused to ask for help, and did not let people know that she had been punished for kneeling, and she didn't even say the best Zixiao and Guiyan, and refused to do it when she asked for a bottle of medicine. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the bitterness in her stomach, and hardened the grievances in her heart, behind this forbearance and perseverance, Qingtian couldn't guess what this thoughtful little girl was thinking, and what was she going to do?

A faint uneasiness spread in Qingtian's heart......

This is more than 80 years, tonight is the only time that Qingtian is in the study, the only time without Xiao Wu's company, he feels empty and at a loss, there is a melancholy of loss, and there is Xiao Wu's figure and voice and smile everywhere.

A prince of the Heavenly Clan, who has been through a hundred battles and can collapse in front of Mount Tai and stand still, at this time, he can't settle down for a long time.

There are too many official documents today, and Qingtian realized that the little scholar who often accompanies him has actually shared most of the things for himself on weekdays, and when he glimpsed Yanran in front of him, who could only grind ink and serve tea and pour water, Qingtian only felt that it was an eyesore and redundant.

Qingtian really wanted to go and see Xiao Wu who was close at hand, but reason made him not do that, thinking again and again, and under pressure again and again, Qingtian looked restless without Xiao Wu by his side.

When the day was about to dawn, Qingtian, who had barely finished reading the official document, finally picked up the medicine on the case and walked out of the Chenghua Palace.

The sky is bright with the white color of fish belly, and a tall pomegranate tree in front of the hall is blooming, with a sweet fragrance of flowers.

Qingtian remembered that after he complained about Xiao Wu once, saying that she was not as interested in Yongzheng Palace as she was about Xiyi Immortal Mansion, Xiao Wu begged someone to find this old tree that could bloom undefeated for thousands of years and bear continuous fruits. Xiao Wu personally watered the old tree with Yao Chi water, and in just one year, the old pomegranate tree bloomed again, and it was red, and Qingtian himself often practiced swords under the tree.

Thinking of this, he turned sideways to look at Xiao Wu's residence, which was still shining with a faint light, and Qingtian no longer hesitated to wander and walked towards the light. He entered Xiao Wu's room through the wall, only to see that except for a bed and a set of tables and stools, there was almost nothing else in the room, simple and shabby. A red candle was burning on the small table before the collapse, and a book was half-scattered, presumably the little girl had read by candlelight before going to bed.

Xiao Wu was lying on the couch in a white robe, sleeping soundly, the quilt was kicked to her feet, perhaps because she felt cold, and her body was rolled into a small ball.

Qingtian's eyes were full of pampering, covered Xiao Wu with a quilt, and sighed with a smile, "Alas!

Taking out Xiao Wu's badly injured right leg from the quilt, Optimus gently opened the bandage, Xiao Wu felt the pain, twisted her body, he medicated her wound, and bandaged it again.

Sitting on the edge of the couch, carefully looking at Xiao Wu who was sleeping, Qingtian felt more and more that the little girl was very beautiful! Her satin-like silky black hair was scattered, reflecting the white and flawless little face, and her ruddy little mouth was still hooked from time to time, as if she was having a happy dream.

Qingtian's eyes were full of affection, and he brushed away the messy hair in front of Xiao Wu's forehead, and couldn't help but kiss it lightly on that smooth forehead. He knew that he was in love with this little girl, and he himself couldn't figure out when this love began.

After staring at it quietly for a long time, Qingtian picked up the scroll that was scattered on the collapsed floor, and saw that it was a volume of "Kyushu Geography and Customs", he chuckled, thinking to himself, how could a little girl like this kind of book?

Seeing that there were a few books on the table, he walked to the table and sat down, opened a book, and saw that the title read, "Hold the sword and go to the end of the world, and the four seas are my home." After that, the list is some human scenery and fun things, such as tasting a hundred wines in Luodu, riding a handsome horse on the grassland, hunting goshawks in the Snow Mountain, listening to the tide in the East China Sea, and watching waterfalls and so on......

After reading it, Qingtian was amused, looked at the little girl who was still asleep, and knew that she was a child, and all she cared about and thought about was something to play and eat. Opening the second volume again, the smile on Qingtian's face slowly froze on his face, this bamboo slip recorded the countdown record of her being punished as a scholar, the record shows that there are still 4080 days to end the penalty period, it is obvious that Xiao Wu is counting the days. The record of the first volume should be the place where the little girl is planning to go in the future.

Discovering this big secret, Qingtian was nervous, and the fact that Xiao Wu was going to leave hit his heart, and it hurt all over his body.

For more than 80 years, this Lu Xiaowu has been obedient to herself, but she doesn't want to be close, no wonder she has always been alienated from herself, it turns out that all she wants is to leave, it turns out that she doesn't have him in her heart at all.

The fact made Qing Tian feel sad and frustrated, and he was so upset that he looked at the sleeping Xiao Wu and walked out through the wall......
