Yunqi Jiangxin

As night fell, Long Xiu helped Rong Xun who was still kneeling on the ground, and left Fayun Temple half-embraced and half-supported. As soon as he left the temple gate, he picked up Rong Xun and got into the waiting carriage.Rong Xun had already calmed down at this time, he had already guessed most of how Chang Le survived, and he had arranged the manpower at the beginning, so he must have not planned Long Xiu meticulously, and he was unwilling to mention it.

But about Changle and Shi Jinglin, he wanted to hear Long Xiu tell him personally.

The stove was burning in the carriage, and the faint fragrance lingered between the two of them. Long Xiu put Rong Xun on the soft chair, and saw that his face was no longer covered with ashes when he was in the palace, and he felt relieved. asked, speaking slowly.

"You probably guessed what happened to Changle. Back then, she picked up knowledge on a whim and grew up together. She was both a servant and a friend. I know that you arranged people to lurk beside Changle, but your other elder brothers also placed many people. , Zhiqu didn’t ask much questions at all, it doesn’t distinguish between the enemy and us, except the seven or eighty-eight. The news came back after your death, and Changle jumped into Lianhu directly. Rescued from the lake, sneaked out of the palace. After Changle woke up, he was just like you. The three pains of losing his mother, brother, and country were intertwined. He was seriously injured against the enemy, considering his relationship with Shi Chuanhai, Zhiqu rescued him back, just to give Changle another thought."

He saw that Rong Xun was listening seriously, and smiled: "Furthermore, Shi Family Zhonglie didn't save Shi Chuanhai back then, so I thought if I could save Shi Jinglin, it would be a compensation to the two generations of Shifu."

When Rong Xun heard this, he didn't know what to think for a while, Long Xiu told him that Chang Le was dead before, and now he pulled Chang Le to him again, the meaning was so obvious.However, how should I compensate those soldiers who died in battle, those soldiers who were captured and killed because of myself?

He looked at the street vegetation covered with residual snow outside the carriage, and the desolation in his heart seemed to have lost its edge.

Long Xiu watched every change in his expression, paused for a while, and continued: "Who knows that when the two of them are in dire straits, they fell in love not long after supporting each other. At that time, regardless of etiquette, she made a private decision for life. Unfortunately, Changle was less than two months pregnant, and Shi Jinglin passed away. Changle was sad for a long time, but because of the child in her womb, she cheered up instead. Zhiqu helped arrange this The temple helped to burn the body, and set up a secret incense hall, so that she could come to worship from time to time. In the past year, Zhiqu helped take care of the big and small affairs, and she never suffered from displacement and shortage."

Unexpectedly, the noisy sister who said that she must wait for Rong Xun to get married before marrying would entrust her life under such circumstances. Rong Xun knew that Chang Le was strong in heart and not a fragile and casual woman. He couldn't imagine that Shi How much support Jinglin's arrival gave her, and how much pain his departure gave her. Although he didn't suffer from homelessness, his heart was probably broken countless times. Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head and looking at him. Long Xiu asked, "Is it true that Shi Jinglin can't be saved?"

Long Xiu looked at him, and still said calmly: "You should have heard that Shi Jinglin was born with a weak disease. If he is a disciple of an aristocratic family with peace of mind, he will only live for 20 years if he is pampered. He has participated in the government in recent years. Too many, already exhausted physically and mentally, struggling to hold on, if not for Liao Jiang trying his best to save him, how could he live to see Changle. After I knew his situation, I also sent Ziyou to watch him secretly. If I hadn't met Liao Jiang and Ziyou, I would Keeping him alive for one more year, although I didn't expect him to have such a friendship with Chang Le, but it is not a bad thing for him to leave incense."

Rong Xun knew that Long Xiu would not lie to him, and that Shi Jinglin's illness had also been mentioned by Shi Chuanhai, but when he thought that Changle would spend the rest of his life alone in remembrance, his heart felt sad.What a jade-faced Asura, what a mighty guardian of the country, no matter how hard he killed on the battlefield, he couldn't keep the people from being oppressed. He earned his military exploits desperately, but in the end not only failed to protect his mother and concubine, but also failed to protect his only sister. Not to mention the unborn child.

Seeing the bleakness in his eyes, Long Xiu knew what he was thinking.At this time, the carriage stopped, and Rong Xun saw that there was no sound outside, and the palace wall was not far away, so he didn't know what he was going to do.

The door curtain was lifted, and Eunuch An brought in a food box. Rong Xun glanced over, and when the door curtain was lowered, he saw a familiar small stall not far away. Before he could think about it, Long Xiu had already received the food box, and opened it until Rong On the small table in front of Xun, he said, "You once said that the Liuji Wonton outside the East Gate was delicious. An Yuan went to buy it now. You should eat something."

Liu Ji Wonton, when Long Xiu was still in Zhangbei, he wrote to tell him that there was a delicious restaurant next to Renxin Hall in Ganzhou, and the lady who made the wonton was very delicious. He has eaten a lot of wontons, but he feels that Liu Ji wontons outside the east gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace make him never forget.

Looking at the steaming wontons, Rong Xun laughed at himself for inviting him, "If there is a chance, I must bring my virtuous brother to eat a few bowls."Now the onion is fragrant, and the other party is sitting opposite to him, but he has no appetite at all.

He watched Long Xiu gently stirring the wonton soup, and asked, "If Changle gives birth to a boy, what are your plans?"

Stopping the spoon, Long Xiu looked at him and said, "If it's a boy, I guarantee his life will be safe and free, but I'm afraid I won't let him know what happened back then; if it's a girl, as long as you nod, she will be my most honorable princess in Huang Yu." .”

Rong Xun shook his head, what's the use of honor, peace and freedom are far better than honor and wealth.

"Rong Xun," Long Xiu looked at him and continued, "Ziyou mentioned to me that regardless of whether Changle is pregnant with a man or a woman, there is a high possibility of her being born with a weak disease. Take good care of yourself, I'm afraid you won't live long. You can't bear any harm until you are six or seven years old. After that time, you can grow up like an ordinary child. I know you are angry, but it's for the sake of happiness, don't Let's mess around again, okay?"

Rong Xun let out a miserable laugh in his heart, six or seven years?Exile?How could I be willing to let Changle take the child into exile?

He knew what Long Xiu said was true, but being so blunt was not at all like his usual style of choking someone's throat quietly, also, he had no power to fight back, so why not be a little more straightforward?

"Are you threatening me?"

"...You just take it as it is, without you, there is no difference between ten Changle in front of me." Long Xiu saw that Rong Xun's face darkened again, and added: "Two years, don't act rashly, stay by my side obediently , two years later, if you can recover your health, I will let you go out."

Rong Xun raised his eyes, a little unbelievable, and asked for a while: "Where are you going with me?"

"Yes."

"Don't send people to follow and interfere?"

"…Can."

"I have one condition."

"You said."

"I want to see Changle regularly. When she gives birth, I want to be beside her, at least close to her."

Long Xiu smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, I will take you out of the palace once a month, and then arrange for you to meet him. You can also worship the spirit seat if you want, and I can even arrange for you to get to know each other."

Rong Xun flicked his eyelashes, and asked, "Really?"

"Not right now, let's talk about it when you get better."

The negotiation has reached the bottom line, Rong Xun nodded and did not speak again, but Long Xiu scooped up a wonton and brought it to his mouth, Rong Xun struggled for a moment, and opened his mouth to eat.Seeing that he was loose, Long Xiu fed another one, Rong Xun wanted to eat it by himself, but Long Xiu refused, and insisted on feeding three or four, fearing that he would eat too much at once, so he finished the remaining half of the bowl by himself.

The two had their own concerns, and returned to the palace listening to the crisp sound of horseshoes.

After this day, life suddenly became plain and clean. Xu Youzhen was assigned to clean the yard in Tinglu Hall. Although she was closely monitored, she really did not have any fear of her life.It's just that when he was brought here, he saw Rong Xun sitting in Tinglu Hall, and he had to cry for a long time, until he saw that Rong Xun was struggling to walk but came to comfort him, then he stopped crying, knelt down and asked Rong Xun Apologize.

Rong Xun felt a little sorry for the little eunuch who played with him when he was a child. He remembered how timid he was. He never thought that after the country was subjugated, this person who could have lived a quiet life would risk his life to come here without even seeing if he was right. Help yourself, if you want to apologize, you should apologize to him.

"Before my concubine passed away, you were always by her side, and Ting Lu Hall will be left to you to take good care of it. If you have a chance in the future, if you want to go out or do something, just tell me."

Xu Youzhen stared blankly at Rong Xun, thinking of the coldest Spring Festival in previous years, he was not as pale as he was wrapped up in layers, kowtowed with red eyes, and said, "I only hope that Your Highness is safe and healthy, and I am willing to serve you all my life." Your Highness."

Rong Xun smiled and walked slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve. According to the law, today was the last day before the Spring Festival. In the evening, Longxiu hosted a banquet for all the officials. Concubine Rong did not show up as usual.It's just that everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor has a deep affection for the Empress, and the gifts presented are all rare medicinal materials, jewelry and warm jade.

After Long Xiu bestowed presents one by one, he ordered Mr. An to take away the jewels, hairpins, medicinal supplements, etc., and take the rest to the bedroom for Rong Xun to pick and choose. He also brought some snacks before going to bed, and stared at him to eat some.

Rong Xun was even less interested in these things, he just picked a piece of warm jade and a pillow for calming the nerves, and asked him to find a way to give it to Changle. Eunuch An really watched him eat a piece of snack, and then came back to report to Long Xiu.

In the middle of the night, when Long Xiu returned to the bedroom, Rong Xun had already fallen asleep. He took off his bathrobe, got into the quilt lightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Rong Xun into his arms. After falling into a deep sleep, he snorted twice in a daze, without struggling.

Since the two made an agreement, Rong Xun really no longer resisted taking medicine, and insisted on taking a walk for one to two hours every day, and then went to Tinglu Hall to sit for a while, and even ate every day, Long Xiu would put more dishes in his bowl. eat some.

Rong Xun's heart is soft, but after all, it's not a character that hurts the spring and the autumn. It's just that he struggled a bit about where to sleep.When the two came back from the palace that day, Long Xiu carried him all the way to the bedroom as usual, Rong Xun watched the maids bring all the daily necessities over, his expression was a little stiff.When Long Xiu carried him into the bathtub at the back of the hall, his stiffness had turned into uneasiness. Long Xiu originally wanted to go all out to restore him to the life of bathing him before he woke up, but he backed out after seeing his face turn pale.It wasn't until he suspected that he was going to sleep in the bathtub that he hardened his heart and took him out and carried him to the bed. Rong Xun froze on the inside of the bed all night, and fell asleep when he couldn't bear it, and woke up when he touched it. Long Xiu Enduring the turmoil in his heart, he took out the patience that he had never experienced in plotting the throne, and told him "I will never touch you as long as you don't agree", only then did he feel the relaxation from the heart of Rong Xun, and slowly fell asleep.

In this way, the days of sharing the same bed and being ascetic have passed by in a flash.Seeing that he was sleeping deeply, relaxed and quiet, Long Xiu gently stole two kisses on his lips, and fell asleep too.
