When Yu Jing woke up, Xiao Kong was at the side frying medicine. The rich aroma of Chinese medicine permeated the entire imperial pharmacy.
At this moment, Yu Jing was lying on the bed that Xiao Kong usually slept on. She slowly sat up and opened her eyes, looking around her surroundings, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, and it was very obvious that it was the pain of being beaten. She remembered that she had gone to Her Majesty's chambers, and then she had seen a strange man. After that, she didn't remember anything.
What happened then?
Yu Jing began to search her memories for the memories of that time. She remembered! She was going to tell Lu Shaoheng that the empress dowager was in danger!
"Jing Er, you're awake?" Seeing that she had woken up, Xiao Kong smiled as he handed her a bowl of medicine. "Just now, you came to find me, saying that you wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to put the kite together with me. Are you better now? "Come, sit up first and drink some Spirit Boosting Medicine to recover your vitality."
"I came looking for you to play the kite? "But I clearly remember that I didn't come to find you. I seem to have gone to the empress dowager's chambers." Yu Jing's memories were a little messy. She felt that her memories were not like this.
"Did you really run into a fool? "You've been at the imperial pharmacy all day, how could you possibly go to the empress dowager's sleeping quarters?" Xiao Kong began to mislead her.
"Really? Am I dreaming? But my head really hurts. Didn't I get knocked out? Did I really faint? And then he had a dream? " Yu Jing was skeptical, but she still sat up and took the bowl from Xiao Kong. The light brown liquid looked extremely bitter, and steam was slowly rising from it.
A bitter taste rushed into her nose. Yu Jing looked at the bowl of medicine and was still thinking about what had happened today. She came looking for Xiao Kong to put the kite? Really? But she clearly remembered that she wasn't going to the imperial pharmacy. She wanted to go to the empress dowager's sleeping quarters. Could she have remembered wrongly?
Yu Jing took a few sips of the medicine and felt that what Xiao Kong said was true.
Then, was he really dreaming just now?
"Jing'er, you're Lu Shaoheng's Jingfei?" Little Kong turned his back to the quiet rain, quietly arranging the herbs. His tone was somewhat probing.
"Yeah, that's right." Yu Jing answered matter-of-factly, using her nasal voice to make an "En" sound. Then, she continued to drink a few mouthfuls of the medicine that had been fried in the air.
"Then... You... Is there... There has been a relationship between husband and wife … " When Little Kong spat out those words, he felt his heart clench. Wasn't this a question only an idiot would ask? The dumbest! Yu Jing was already the emperor's concubine, so the two were definitely husband and wife. There was no need to doubt him, so why would he ask? What's more, Yu Jing was the emperor's favorite concubine, how could she not have …
The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Xiao Kong suddenly wanted to slap himself a few times. He already had a name, so what was he waiting for?
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? What is between husband and wife? " Yu Jing was somewhat perplexed. She walked to the side of Xiao Kong, turned her head to the side, and blinked with her round eyes. She looked at Xiao Kong's flushed cheeks and did not understand what he meant.
"Ugh …" That is … That... Couples... After marriage... "That …" Xiao Kong stammered, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Yu Jing's eyes, he was embarrassed to the point of being powerless.
"I don't understand what you're trying to say. What's between husband and wife? What after marriage? I don't understand, please be clear about it. " Yu Jing paced back and forth in front of Xiao Kong. She looked straight at him, and when she saw his stunned expression, she became even more perplexed.
"That's right …" For example... " For some reason, Xiao Kong suddenly felt a surge of courage. He turned around and kissed Yu Jing's lips. His actions were stiff and he said, "For example, something like this …"
Yu Jing was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly retreated. She slapped Xiao Kong on the face, turned around and ran away quickly.
Xiao Kong was at a loss, not knowing whether he should give chase or not. In the end, he could only stare at her back, standing there in a daze.
In the teaching workshop.
Delicious Snow had nothing better to do, so she sat in the yard drinking tea. Ever since she entered the palace, Lu Shaoheng often went to the teaching field to look for her. Although there wasn't much to do, he always liked to visit her. Many matters of the imperial court had been handed over to Lin Xuan to take care of. The cold harem had become even more desolate.
The people within the palace all saw the emperor's transformation with their own eyes, but they didn't dare to say too much. They were all afraid of disobeying the emperor's wishes, so they dropped their heads. The court official was somewhat disgusted by Lu Shaoheng's actions of not wanting the beauty in the world. However, with the recent beheading incident, no one dared to say another word inside.
A few days ago, Lord Lin, who advised Lu Shaoheng, was stabbed to death on the spot for contradicting Lu Shaoheng a few times. Lu Shaoheng was trying to set an example, and the people in the court were also very scared. Thus, from then on, no one dared to speak out against him.
At the same time, Xie Zimo also didn't stay idle. He was in the middle of recruiting people from all walks of life. He was trying to pull everyone who was dissatisfied with Lu Shaoheng over to his side. After this winter, when all the conditions were met, he would kill Lu Shaoheng without any warning.
Lu Shaoheng had killed quite a few officials who had come to advise him not to be greedy for beautiful women, so he had merely swept them with a cold gaze and flicked his sleeves as he left.
It was as if the life and death of others meant nothing to him.
On this day, Lu Shaoheng asked Baili Kuangxue if there was anything he especially wanted, anything he wanted. Kui Xue wanted his world, but naturally she would not say it out loud. Thus, she just asked for a zither.
In the quiet and desolate teaching grounds, the sound of a zither could be heard in the silent night.
Lu Shaoheng liked to open the window and raise his lips to listen to the zither music drifting in from the wind.
Because Baili Xingxue had said that she didn't like people visiting late at night, Lu Shaoheng usually didn't look for him at night and would only look for her at the teaching workshop during the day.
A hundred miles of fragrant snow in the palace distributed a lot of search wasps, but for more than half a month, there was still no news of quiet rain. What she was looking for was half a piece of jade, the same jade as the one hanging on her waist …
The days in the palace were never particularly peaceful. For example, the earlier Yan Fei was unable to swallow her anger, but had to act as though nothing had happened. She secretly observed the Hundred Miles of Exquisite Snow. At the same time, she also whispered into Yu Jing's ear what she said was wrong. The people in the palace all seemed to be interested in the Hundred Miles of Fragrance, some wanting to please her, some giving gifts, some not liking her, and some making things difficult for her. "Strange ingredients" would occasionally appear in her food, but these things would easily spread to Lu Shaoheng's ears.
Afterwards, someone specially delivered all three meals in a day to Lu Shaoheng's palace maids and Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan's eyes weren't too friendly when he looked at her. He didn't seem to like her, but he wouldn't do anything to her either.
It was late autumn, and the palace was a desolate scene. The fallen leaves were swept up by the wind, filling the sky. The bare trees were like the old woman's dry face. All that was left was the evergreen pine tree, swaying in the wind as it endured its bleakness. The flowers in the royal garden were all gone, and the poor branches of the flowers swayed in the autumn wind.
Lu Shaoheng could feel the change in temperature, so he sent someone to deliver some cotton-stained clothes to Kui Xue. He held the sweet snow in his hands for fear of breaking it, and kept it in his mouth for fear of melting. Later on, Lu Shaoheng ordered his people to remodel the teaching workshop and rearrange it so that it looked more like a concubine's sleeping quarters. Fifty kilometers of fragrant snow did not say a word about the refurbishment, because she had never placed Lu Shaoheng in her eyes.
The day after tomorrow, Lu Shaoheng had promised to allow the snow to come out of the palace. Fifty miles of snow playing the zither, sitting in the open air in the courtyard, the stars flowing above her head, like a beautiful Milky Way. "Huu." The sound was like flowing water, floating in the wind. The Hundred Miles of Snow played the zither, her clothes and hair fluttering in the wind as if she was an ink painting …
After everything was prepared, Baili Kuangxue and Lu Shaoheng got into the sedans that were sent out of the palace. Lin Xuan was riding his horse and was about to whip it when a purple figure suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of the carriage. Lin Xuan hastily reined in his horse and barely bumped into Yu Jing.
Yu Jing had changed into a long black jacket and was standing in front of the carriage that was about to leave the palace.
Lin Xuan looked at Yu Jing who had suddenly ran out and didn't know what to do. They were preparing to leave the palace today. How did Yu Jing know about this?
"Your Majesty! Why didn't you bring me along when you went out to play? What's so good about that guy called Luo Ying? You ignored me for the better part of a month. You don't want me anymore, do you, your majesty? "Sob, sob …" Yu Jing spoke with a wronged tone, as if she was about to cry at any moment. She rushed into the car, said to Lu Shaoheng, and pointed at Baili Kuangxue, and shouted: "The Emperor once said that he would properly love Jing`er and prevent others from bullying Jing`er, but what about now? The emperor's heart changed. The emperor doesn't care about Jing'er anymore. Hmph, it doesn't hurt Jing'er at all … "Sob, sob …"
Lu Shaoheng let out a helpless sigh. It was unknown where the rumors had leaked out, letting Yu Jing know that they were about to leave the palace. At this moment, Yu Jing also came. She had the temper of a child, so it was about time for her to be in an awkward situation again.
However, thinking about it for the past half month, he indeed didn't pay much attention to her and treated her coldly.
Lu Shaoheng thought that he was in the wrong, so he waved his hand and let Yu Jing follow them out of the palace.
"Alright, Jing Er, I'll bring you out to play too. Alright, Lin Xuan, let's go."
Lin Xuan nodded. With a helpless expression, he whipped his horse and left.
Ever since Yu Jing got into the car, Lu Shaoheng's arm had been wrapped around by her. Yu Jing took over Lu Shaoheng. She used an unfriendly gaze to stare at Kui Xue, as if she was writing a written challenge, as if she was warning her: Lu Shaheng is mine, he's mine! Don't even think about stealing it!
Duan Ling Tian didn't know what to say, but he didn't want her to say it out loud. He didn't want her to say it out loud, so to avoid his gaze, she opened the curtain of the carriage and turned her gaze to the scene outside.
Far from the palace, the streets outside were already shrouded in darkness.
Yu Jing had fallen asleep in Lu Shaoheng's arms. Lu Shaoheng couldn't bear to wake up Yu Jing, so he carried her horizontally and walked out of the sedan. Lin Xuan carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage and they entered the inn. They had four rooms, one for each of them. After arranging for the rain to calm down, Lu Shaoheng returned to his own room to rest.
When she returned, she sensed that there was someone else in the house, so she raised her guard. He turned his head to the side and saw an agile figure flying past him.
As she turned around, Baili Kuangxue's arm was grasped in reverse, her chin was lifted up as if she was being invaded, and the back of her head naturally pressed up against the chest of the person behind her. The warm breath landed on her sensitive ears, and the numbness quickly spread all over her body.
"Beautiful snow, long time no see, I miss you." Xie Zimo said softly, smiling in the darkness.
"Xie Zimo!" Let go of me! " In the silence of the darkness, her voice was very clear.
"You miss me even after not seeing me for half a month?" The downcast voice lingered for a hundred li in Kuangxue's ears, "Could it be, that you and Lu Shaoheng talked about the condition of leaving the palace, and that it wasn't to see me? "Isn't it because I knew I would come looking for you?"
"Xie Zimo, you're too shameless!" Lu Shaoheng's in the next room, let go of me. "
"Lu Shaoheng?" Xie Zimo gently kissed Baili Xueyue's exquisite skin, "This is just nice, let me check if he touched you or not."
"You! He didn't touch me! Release me! " Fifty miles of fragrant snow was struggling restlessly in Xie Zimo's arms, her body had been turned away. His lips were covered by a layer of warm moisture and entangled with each other. Only after that did he slowly loosen his mouth.
"Qiangxue, are you unhappy that I've come to see you?" Xie Zimo lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.
"Lu Shaoheng is here, you should leave first." Baili Xiang Xue gently pushed Xie Zimo away.
The next moment, she was carried by Xie Zimo and jumped out of the open window. Xie Zimo held her as they flew lightly over the roof. They were like night eagles, soaring through the night.
Then, Baili Xiang Xue took the opportunity to embrace him, preventing him from falling down. She gazed at him quietly. The moonlight was like water, outlining his handsome profile. He was like a gust of wind, unrestrained and unrestrained. Kui Xue stared blankly at it for a long time, then suddenly recalled something, and asked in astonishment: What are you trying to do? Where are you taking me? Put me down. "
"Didn't you want to find someone? I have a clue. " The sound of his body being cleansed by the wind flowed out from Xie Zimo's mouth like a long, melodious song.
In the depths of the bamboo forest where the croaks of frogs could be heard, a man was tied to a tree. He was unable to make a sound and could only open his eyes in panic. He did not know whether to beg for help or to beg for mercy. He was the trafficker who had taken Yu Jing away to sell her, and he knew who had bought her.
