imprinted you in my heart

With Shi Min's help, Qing Ying finally got her wish and broke free from the curtain, and went directly to the bedside to rub her head against the quilt.

The moment Shi Min opened the curtain, he finally saw Bu Qianxue, whom he had been thinking about so much, lying quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if in a deep sleep, without any response. I tried my nose with my hand, and the moment I felt the breath, I finally exhaled the breath that raised my throat.

The feeling of lingering fear in his heart was still sweeping his whole body, his legs were a little weak, he put his hands on his chest, and fell directly to the side of the bed.

Tired and hungry, Qingying rubbed against Shi Min for a while but couldn't get the quilt off, so she gave up, found a comfortable place, turned around twice, and lay down on the ground to rest.

The door was ajar, Zuo Xuan stood outside the door and couldn't see clearly inside, relying entirely on her hearing, she had always been on high alert, but after so long there were only the footsteps of His Majesty and Qingying inside, she also relaxed a little.

The rest of the imperial guards were searching inside and outside the house, not sparing the perimeter of the fence.

On the eve of Chenshi, in the palace, seeing that the morning time was getting closer, His Majesty was nowhere to be seen. The road was turning around in a hurry. Yesterday afternoon, she sent someone to Buhou Mansion to ask for instructions, only to know that His Majesty had personally led people to chase him.

In the past, His Majesty would make arrangements in advance, but this time the departure happened suddenly, without leaving a single word. Although Lu Guanchu was the chief executive, he did not dare to risk the death penalty to falsely preach the imperial decree.

In desperation, she could only disregard His Majesty's order and go to Anren Palace to seek an audience with the Empress Dowager, and report to the Empress Dowager what she knew and the difficulties she encountered so far.

Wen Yu had just got up and was about to go to the Wenxuan Hall to offer incense to the Empress Dowager, only after seeing Lu Guanchu did he realize that such a big event had happened, he was anxious and angry, the emperor really liked to hide all important things from her as always.

She knew about the martial law in the palace yesterday, she said that Shi Min had lost something, she didn't think much about it, and ordered the Shangguan Bureau to strictly investigate and make sure to bring back the lost things in Shi Min's palace. worry.

Wen Yu pondered for a while before opening his mouth and said: "I pass on the decree of the palace, saying that your majesty is not feeling well today, so that one day, if there is any latest news or your majesty is back, let her come to see me, go."

"Yes" Lu Guanchu received his order, and immediately rushed to Chengtian Palace to pass on the decree.

The ministers who originally wanted to know why the whole city was under martial law through the morning court today were even more puzzled when they heard that Lu Guanchu announced the Queen Mother's decree. The Hua Dynasty strictly forbids the harem to participate in politics, so the harem will not underestimate the decree under normal circumstances.

Dali Guan Yucheng and others who knew the inside story directly handed over the memorial to ask for leave. First, they knew that His Majesty had not returned, and second, His Majesty only gave them three days to solve the case, and the time was too tight to be wasted.

In the thatched hut, after Shi Min relaxed a bit, he unscrewed the quilt and prepared to give Bu Qianxue a preliminary inspection. The white jacket he was wearing was intact, and there was a set of neatly stacked gray bunts in the pillow, which seemed to be the same as when he was caught before. people wear the same clothes.

When doing a further and careful inspection, Shi Min put down the curtain again, and after checking everything, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Bu Qianxue didn't have any trauma, her breathing was smooth, her body temperature was normal, her complexion was normal, and she didn't show any signs of poisoning, such as turning purple, but she didn't wake up no matter how much she shook and screamed, she didn't know if she was drugged or raped With other hands and feet, it is impossible to determine for a while.

Shi Min was very worried, and didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately called out: "Come on!"

The search outside also came to an end, Zuo Xuan was about to ask for instructions and report, when His Majesty's voice came from inside the room, he quickly opened the door and went in to salute: "May Your Majesty rest in peace".

The curtains were tightly covering the bed, and Shi Min stood in front of the bed and said, "Excuse me, I have something to arrange for you to do, one is to send two people to rush back to Buhou's mansion immediately, and drive the carriage in Zhonggong to the intersection to wait. The second is to send another person to the Imperial Hospital to bring Lu Yuanshi; the third is to send another person to inform Commander Mu, and after receiving Yun Chuan, he will be directly escorted to Dali Temple for strict custody, waiting for my disposal."

"Chen Zunzhi" Zuo Xuan took the order, and immediately went down to make arrangements, and after a while, there was the sound of horseshoes leaving.

After making arrangements according to His Majesty's will, Zuo Xuan went in again to report the search results and findings.

There are only three thatched huts. There is a mountain stream on the right side, and there is a path that leads directly to the small pool. Because of the terrain, a small waterfall with a small drop is formed. Below the waterfall is the small pool. Hear the sound of water.

The house is locked from the inside, and the windows are locked from the outside. The method is sophisticated, as if it is intended to prevent the people in the room from coming out. The chances of ordinary people trying to escape from the thatched hut are very slim.

The room on the left is a kitchen, with obvious burn marks on the stove, and the iron pot is shiny with oil. There are cooked mutton, pork and steamed buns in the pot, about two days’ worth for one person, and a few catties of rice in the rice tank. There are still a few Chinese cabbages on the ground, which are already a little dying, and the water tank is full of water.

The room at the entrance is like a special place for eating. The small courtyard is clean and tidy, and the perimeter of the fence is also cleaned up. It is obvious that someone has lived here, and for a long time. As for the specific number of people living here, it is temporarily unpredictable.

After the report, Zuo Xuan mentioned by the way: "...this place is so hidden, if there is no clear shadow to lead the way, and the other party does not give timely reminders, the chances of finding it with the minister alone may not be great."

As for His Majesty's previous arrangements, she already knew that the middle palace had been found, and it was on the bed, so she reported everything in detail.

Shi Min nodded in agreement, and sighed: "It's really thanks to Qingying, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Since there is food in the pot, let someone who is good at cooking cook it. Everyone has traveled for so long. Tired and hungry, except those on duty and cooking, everyone else should take a good rest."

"Yes, I will leave." Zuo Xuan backed out again, and opened the door by the way.

As soon as Zuo Xuan went out, he summoned everyone to the yard, but when asked, none of the twenty or so people could cook, but there were many people who could eat a few big bowls. In the end, she had no choice but to do it herself .

Picked two smart people to fight, and the remaining people were divided into three groups, one group was on duty, one group grazed the horses around, and the other group rested, changing every two quarters of an hour. place to rest.

Shi Min was alone in the room, looking here and there, and found a simple toilet under the bed. It happened that she suddenly felt urgent to urinate, so she picked a corner that Qingying couldn't see to solve it.

After solving the problem and putting away the toilet, Shi Min sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to take a rest, thinking in his heart: Not only did they prepare enough food and water, but they also prepared the toilet, obviously they only wanted to trap Qianxue here , and no one is sent to guard, either too confident, or the manpower is really limited, no matter what the reason...

Shi Min thought about it, and after a while, his eyelids began to fight, and finally fell asleep.

Since Bu Qianxue disappeared, she couldn't eat well, she didn't sleep well, and she rode horses all the way. If she didn't often ride horses and practice swords to exercise her body, and she was young, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it for other nobles.

Because Bu Qianxue has been found, Shi Min is also beside it, Qingying fell asleep not long after laying down, really tired, not panting, Shi Min went to the toilet or something, it was really completely have no idea.

During Zuo Xuan's hard work and cooking, time passed like flowing water, and the sun slowly climbed up. Before everyone noticed, it had already climbed a certain distance, and birds flew by from time to time, leaving nothing behind.

Bu Qianxue, who was quietly lying on the bed under the quilt, finally woke up. This sleep made her feel like she had been asleep for a year. In her sleep, she kept trying to wake up, but she couldn't.

His eyes got used to it for a while, and after he could see clearly, he began to look around. He saw a strange curtain and environment that he had never seen before, and his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he immediately saw Shi Min, who was sleeping by the bed, and was not disturbed. Shout out in fright.

Her angle was just enough to see Shi Min's full face and upper body. Her face looked tired, and she had two small pimples on her chin. She was sleeping deeply. The clothes were Shi Min's regular clothes, which were a little dirty and dirty. Wrinkled, not as neat and tidy as usual.

What made her so tired?Can't even take care of the sleeping environment and grooming that you usually care about the most?Just fell asleep on the bed?Bu Qianxue didn't know, but seeing Shi Min like this, she felt so distressed, and wanted to share the burden for her, and wanted her to go to bed and sleep well, but she was afraid of waking her up.

She also remembered the quarrel between the two before, and she was angry until before going to bed, because she felt that she was right, and what made her even more angry was that no one came from the palace from her return to Bufu to before going to bed, Not even a word.

But now seeing Shi Min like this, she couldn't get angry at once. In the final analysis, Shi Min was right, but they both wanted to think about each other too much, but forgot to consider the problem from the other's perspective.

She wanted Shi Min to sleep well, and then the two of them sat face to face and had a good talk.

As a result, it took her half a day to sit up lightly, and before she could make the next move, a loud voice from Zuo Xuan sounded outside, "Your Majesty, the meal is ready, do you want to come out to eat?".

Shi Min was startled awake at once, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of amber eyes, whoever it was Bu Qianxue, burst into tears of joy, hugged Bu Qianxue and cried, "You finally woke up, don't you know I know how hard it was for me to find you, but luckily you are safe and sound, otherwise what would be the point of life......".

At this moment, Shi Min is like a thirsty person meeting water, or a dying fire meeting flammable objects. How much you care.

"Hmm..." Bu Qianxue had never seen Shi Min who was so enthusiastic and sincere. At first, she was a little at a loss, but immediately instinctively hugged him back, while listening quietly to what the other said, in time. In response, he patted his hand to comfort him.

Through Shi Min's all-in-one narration, Bu Qianxue understood a little bit, and a little bit didn't understand. She seemed to be missing, but her memory was just a sleep. The last picture was still in the room at home, and she arrived when she woke up. This strange place has its own stones.

"...By the way, do you have any discomfort? Yes, you must tell me, I have sent someone to call the envoy Lu Yuan to come over." Shi Min, who was happy, finally returned to the cage rationally. Reluctantly parted ways.

Bu Qianxue held Shi Min's hand, looked her in the eyes and said, "I'm fine, I don't feel any discomfort, don't worry, Commander Zuo is still waiting for your reply."

"Well, good." Bu Qianxue's words and deeds convinced Shi Min, and finally remembered Zuo Xuan who was still waiting outside, stood up and tidied up his appearance, and then said to the outside: "Come right away, prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks ".

"Yes" Zuo Xuan, who stood outside the door for a long time, hurriedly went to refill the bowls and chopsticks. Well, she really didn't hear anything about what happened inside just now, she can swear.

The material of the gray bunt on the bed was so poor that it was uncomfortable to touch. Shi Min wanted to take off his clothes and let Bu Qianxue wear them, but Bu Qianxue disagreed, and in the end Bu Qianxue wore the gray bunt, which was unexpectedly suitable. It can't hide her already beautiful face.

Shi Min and Bu Qianxue left the room one after the other, and Qing Ying, who was also awakened by Zuo Xuan, also slowly came out after him. Give it a little more time, and it can sleep for another day.

Sliced ​​cooked mutton and cooked pork were filled to the brim, and there was also a bowl of sliced ​​cabbage soup, a bowl of steamed buns, and a pot of tea, all of which were steaming. The pair of bowls and chopsticks are placed opposite each other, and the tea in the cup is steaming.

"Your Majesty and Zhonggong forgive me, the food here is vulgar, and my cooking skills are not good, I have wronged Your Majesty and Zhonggong." Before the two of them sat down, Zuo Xuan hurriedly apologized, her cooking skills are only good at cooking soup and It's just cooking porridge, her friend taught it, put water, ingredients and seasonings, and start the pot when it's boiled.

Zuo Xuan thought about it again, she did follow the steps taught by her partner, and every step was correct.In order to prevent the other party from poisoning the food cruelly, she tried all of them, and it was very safe.

God knows how hard it is for a general like her to make a meal that doesn't look like a meal, especially the ingredients here are only salt, and what's worse is that there is no tea. Finally, fortunately, I found a tea tree behind the house, so I can only It was really hard for her to pick some leaves and cook them now.

After Shi Min and Bu Qianxue sat down, Qingying also squatted on the side, looking at the table of food in front of her, Bu Qianxue felt that it was not as miserable as Zuo Xuan said, at least there was meat to eat. You can only eat green vegetables for three meals, and the real clear soup lacks water.

As far as Shi Min is concerned, it's okay, the only thing she's not used to is steamed buns, because she prefers to eat rice, and shouldn't cooked meat be served with some dipping sauce?Forget it, when you're away from home, it's good to have meat to eat. What surprised her was that the cabbage sliced ​​meat soup was made with left-handed meat.

"Aiqing has worked hard. It's great to eat meat when you are away from home. Don't blame yourself. You can also sit down and eat with a pair of bowls and chopsticks. By the way, do other people eat?" Shi Min asked happily.

Zuo Xuan replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have all of them. I cooked a pot of porridge with the remaining rice, cabbage and meat, and it will be ready to eat in a while."

Shi Min couldn't bear it, and said, "I'll just eat one steamed bun, and keep Zhonggong's portion and yours, and share the extra steamed buns with them, and share half of the meat with them."

Bu Qianxue continued, "I only need one." Although she was really hungry, the Imperial Army must be hungrier than her.

The two imperial guards who were lighting the fire and cooking porridge in the kitchen, one was the internal imperial guard in disguise, the other was the outer imperial guard, they were not far away, and they happened to hear what Shi Min and Bu Qianxue said clearly.

When they knew that they could only eat porridge, they were still a little unhappy. After all, they were tired and hungry. The real people were tired and exhausted. Although it was the same yesterday, they had a good meal at the Water Transportation Department after all.

While Zuo Xuan was going to report, the two whispered a few words. They both felt that His Majesty, who is well-clothed and well-fed every day, must not be able to eat these simple meals. Now he is so ashamed that he can't wait to find a crack in the ground.

In the end, Zuo Xuan only kept one steamed bun for himself, and took the rest to the kitchen, and put some more meat into the porridge according to Shi Min's wishes, and was still a little cautious when he sat down to eat with His Majesty and the others again.

She had already discovered that Zhonggong was wearing bunts, and the material was not good, but they didn't bring extra clothes, so she could only pretend not to know, admiring and happy in her heart.

After Shi Min moved his chopsticks, the three of them began to eat. The cooked meat seemed to have been marinated, and the taste was okay, but the cabbage soup was a bit salty. After Zuo Xuan ate it, there was nothing unusual. Just in time, Bu Qianxue also took a bite. They looked at each other and said nothing in the end.

Some people eat heavy salt, some people eat light salt, the taste is just different, not to mention Zuo Xuan's job is not a chef, as a general can cook is already very good. ?
