flower dust

Chapter 7

"I heard that the concubine is ill, she is indeed a delicate person!" For a while, I didn't see King Yi coming over, and Liren was very worried for Liu'er, but Liu'er was calm every day, no tears, no sighs, no frowns, Only his thinner body betrayed his haggardness.

"Ill? Let's go and have a look." Although Liu'er didn't like to socialize with people, when she thought of Sheng Yun's young age and no relatives to take care of her here, she couldn't bear it.

Li Ren stared, pouted his mouth, "I don't want it, that affectation makes me uncomfortable."

"Then you stay here, I'll go by myself." Saying that, Liu'er had already changed into the clothes for going out.

"I'll go with you!" Li Ren was worried that Liu'er was alone, and got up to change clothes, but was stopped by Liu'er, "Since you don't want to see each other, why bother to go there, sick people, look at your face again , I felt even more uncomfortable."

"What kind of disease is it? It's a delicate disease!" Li Ren muttered dissatisfied.

Liu'er carried some fresh fruits, went out of the courtyard, turned around a few intersections, and came to the place where Sheng Yun lived.The little girl at the door went in and announced, and then welcomed Liu'er in.

Liu'er entered the door and saw Sheng Yun lying on the bed with a little girl beside her beating her legs.

"I heard that the concubine is ill. Liu'er wanted to visit and brought some fruits." Liu'er handed the fruit basket to the attendant at the side, and walked to Sheng Yun. Seeing her expression, she was indeed not very well.

"Liu'er, you're so kind. I'm sick. The doctor won't let me get up. I'm almost suffocated. Come and talk to me." Sheng Yun asked the girl who was beating her leg to step back, and beckoned Liu'er to sit down.

How could Liu'er dare to sit beside the princess' bed, she still stood with her hands down, with a faint smile, "It is reasonable for the doctor to let you rest more, if you are bored, let the prince come to accompany you often, Liu'er's words are boring, I'm afraid it will make you feel more bored."

Sheng Yun sighed after listening, "Oh, the prince is always busy recently, you see, I feel better today, I made some soup for him, I don't know when the prince will come, this soup has been kept for a long time, the taste I just left, not daring to give the prince another drink."

"By the way!" Sheng Yun seemed to suddenly think of something, and his brows and eyes immediately brightened up, "Liu'er, go and deliver it for me, the prince has been in the study all the time, let him drink some soup to replenish his body."

"Me?" Liu'er was surprised for a moment, and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "This is your wish, Wangfei, or it is more appropriate for you to present it to the prince yourself."

"There are so many particulars. As long as the prince can drink this soup, it is enough. Go ahead, otherwise you will have to throw it away. I stayed up all morning, so it's a pity." Couldn't bear to refuse, and thought of seeing Xiao Yun, he felt uneasy, and the thoughts that he had been suppressing desperately these days suddenly surged wildly.

In the end, Liu'er still finished the soup bowl, holding it in both hands, and walked to the study.Liu Er knocked on the door, but no one answered, but the door was open.It was inconvenient for Liu Er to carry the soup, so she wanted to go in and put the soup down.Walking to the desk, she put the soup bowl away, and there were some booklets piled up on the table, which was a bit messy, so Liu'er raised her hand to tidy it up.There was a book that Xiao Yun should be reading. He opened it and put it there. Liu Er glanced at it casually. The person who wrote the letter was Prime Minister Wu. The name made him frown. With this powerful father backing him, Wu Li would not be so domineering.

The content of this note is very simple, it is said that the emperor is in his prime of life, don't rush to choose the heir to the throne, the lost prince is still looking for, there are already some clues.

Liu'er couldn't understand these contents, isn't the emperor already old, how can he still be upright in his prime, who is the prince, doesn't the emperor have no sons, otherwise he wouldn't have valued King Yi so much.

"What are you doing!" A majestic voice suddenly came from the door, which shocked Liu'er, and immediately retracted the hand that was looking at the memorial.

"My lord!" Frightened by Xiao Yun, Liu'er's voice trembled a little, "Liu'er came to bring you a bowl of soup, seeing that you were not here, I just wanted to put the soup on the table..."

"And then took the opportunity to peek at the memorial, didn't you!" Xiao Yun's gloomy face made Liu'er panic, "No, Liu'er didn't peek on purpose, it was just..." Liu'er couldn't explain clearly, because he obviously just watched Yes, although I am not interested in the content, but what I have done, there is no way to cover up the past.

"You are so courageous. You dare to flip through the memorials presented to the emperor at will. Come here and press down!" Xiao Yun gave an order, and two strong men walked into the room. Er'er was already in a panic, and didn't even know how to plead for herself, so she was dragged down in a daze.

"Go in!" Liu'er was thrown into a cell, he never knew there was such a place in the palace.He curled up on the damp ground with a handful of musty straw in his hand.

The two escorts locked the cell door and looked at him disdainfully, "You are so courageous that you even dare to peek at the memorial. Could it be that you were sent by Prime Minister Wu?"

"Prime Minister Wu?" Hearing the name on the memorial, Liu'er became clearer, and looked up at the two people outside the prison door.

"Everyone in the world knows that the emperor wants to make our King Yi the heir. This Prime Minister Wu insists on finding some prince. It happened more than ten years ago. Can you find it? Maybe there is another conspiracy. Then Old fox!"

"Yeah, what kind of prince is that? It's no match for our King Yi, but it seems that the emperor is really thinking about getting the prince back."

"What about the King of Wings?"

"What else can I do, it's not my own, maybe it's for the stability of my son's throne, kah—" The man made a beheading gesture.

"Ah!" Liu'er exclaimed, and the two fell silent for a moment. They forgot that such a person was still here, and realized that they had talked too much, so they turned and left immediately.

Holding her beating heart, Liu'er didn't know what to do.Why is he so useless? At a time like this, he knew that Xiao Yun's life would be in danger, but there was nothing he could do.He leaned against a corner of the cell, weeping silently, no matter how he tried, he was trapped in the cell, but he couldn't do anything.

Sitting in a dank prison all night, a little sunlight shines through the small window on the wall.Liu'er was still huddled in the corner, hiding in a place out of the sunlight.Tears had been shed all night, but there was still nothing she could do. Liu'er was almost driven mad by despair, her eyes stared blankly at the front, her body remained motionless.

"Liu'er, Liu'er!" Someone called his name softly outside the cell, Liu'er just moved a bit, and looked over, it turned out to be Sheng Yun.

"Why are you here?" As soon as she opened her mouth, Liu'er realized that her voice had become hoarse, and she didn't know whether it was because of crying or because she didn't drink water all night.

"I heard that you were imprisoned here. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on you delivering that bowl of soup, such a thing wouldn't have happened." Sheng Yun pitifully bit his lower lip, looking apologetically With Liu Er.

Liu Er shook his head, he didn't want to think about why he was locked up here, and he didn't want to know what punishment he would receive, he just wanted to know how to help Xiao Yun.

Seeing Liu'er's eyes blurred again, Sheng Yun didn't know what he was thinking, "Liu'er, I'm going to intercede with the prince, this matter is big or small, the prince doesn't need to make things difficult for you like this."

Liu'er still shook her head and didn't speak, even if he was released, so what, what could he do in his capacity.Liu'er suddenly looked at Sheng Yun, her father was an important court official, since he married his daughter here, he naturally sided with Xiao Yun, maybe it would be useful to talk to her.

Before Liu'er could speak, Sheng Yun was already flustered. While looking at the entrance of the cell, he said to Liu'er, "It seems that someone is coming. I have to go. I will come to see you later!" far away.

Liu'er lost all strength, and leaned against the cold wall regretfully, why didn't she think of Sheng Yun earlier, if she had spoken earlier, Sheng Yun would have figured out a solution now.But it's too late to say anything now, annoyed, and suddenly thought that Xiao Yun himself knew the danger, with his wisdom, how could he not have thought of Sheng Yun, he shouldn't have to worry so much.

Although he felt relieved, he still couldn't calm down and was restless. He didn't even notice that the clothes on his body were already wet by the moisture in the prison.

After staying in the cold and humid prison for two days, Liu'er finally couldn't hold on any longer, her stomach hurt from cramps, and she broke out in a cold sweat. The clothes that were already wet were completely soaked, and they stuck to Liu'er's body. As soon as the cold wind in the room blew, I couldn't help shivering.

In pain, Liu Er thought of Li Ren, who hadn't seen Li Ren coming over these two days, wondering if she might be implicated because of her relationship.But at least he was not imprisoned in this prison, so he didn't have to suffer such torture. Li Ren's body was thin and young, Liu'er didn't want him to suffer such a crime, but he didn't think about his own body, let alone being able to bear this torture.

Liu'er fell to the ground weakly, and the cold air from the ground spread to his body, making it even more uncomfortable, but he didn't have the strength to sit up again, so he could only endure it like this, his mind was muddled, and even his eyes lost focus.

Will I just die like this, I don't want to die, this time I really don't want to die, Xiao Yun's life is in danger, if I don't see him safe, how can I die with peace of mind.You must get over it, you have survived so many times of pain, have you survived it? It has only been two days of confinement, how can you be so weak.

Liu'er wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, she was not rescued by Xiao Yun once, but this time it was completely different, now that she has become his prisoner, how could he have any reason to save herself, why would she be so stupid to provoke her like this he.But I don't regret it. If I didn't see the memorial, how would I know so much news? Although I can't help him now, it's better than being kept in the dark. Maybe, just maybe, he can do his best Strength, big deal, if you risk your life, you can still do something.

"My lord, my lord..." Thinking of the end, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out any more. Only Xiao Yun's shadow was left, and she couldn't see clearly. Liu'er was anxious and wanted to reach out to grab it. , but couldn't use any strength, and watched Xiao Yun slowly leave in vain, disappearing...

"My lord, my lord..." Liu'er murmured, but she didn't have the strength to move her body anymore.

In a trance, Liu'er felt someone pinch his chin with great strength and pain, but he couldn't struggle. He tried to open his eyes, trying to see who was coming, but vaguely recognized that it was Xiao Yun's. figure.Liu'er happily wanted to hold him back, but she still couldn't move, so she could only try to make her vision clearer so that she could watch Xiao Yun carefully.

"It's only been two days, and it's like this. I still pretend to be sympathetic!" Xiao Yun's voice was cold, but Liu Er was fascinated by it, as long as it was Xiao Yun's voice, because his mind is in a mess right now. He could no longer distinguish the meaning of the words, only knew that it was the voice of someone he had missed for a long time.

Xiao Yun saw that Liu'er was already weak all over, her frail body was trembling, but her brows and eyes were smiling, and the corners of her chapped mouth were slightly raised, and she looked up at herself with great effort.Xiao Yun couldn't bear to be stared at by Liu'er. He believed that Liu'er had no intention of peeking at the memorial, but if he ignored it and let it develop, he might cause trouble in the future.Doting on him too much a while ago, now neglecting him again, Xiao Yun knew Liu'er's tenacity, and was afraid that he would really feel resentful and do things that disrupted his plan.

Xiao Yun made up his mind to take advantage of this time to make Liu'er suffer a bit, to understand his identity, and not to try to do anything out of line.He threw Liu'er on the ground and turned to leave when a low voice came from behind him, "My lord, my lord..." Xiao Yun's heart ached when he heard it, he paused, turned to look at the person lying on the ground, and sighed He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and strode away, but when he reached the prison gate, he stopped and told the guards beside him, "Go and replace him with new straw, put on the stove, and that suit of clothes..." I wanted to The guard changed Liu'er into clean clothes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it, let's heat up the stove."

"Yes!" The guard replied respectfully, a little curious in his heart, how could the prince treat a prisoner so special, but he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly prepared straw and stove.

After lighting the fire and lying on the dry straw again, Liu'er felt better, and someone fed him some water again. He opened his eyes and saw that the person was not Xiao Yun. Although he was a little disappointed, he still rushed. The man smiled gratefully.

The guard was a little stunned. It was the first time he had seen such a pure and beautiful smile, and he didn't know why the prince was so cruel, keeping such a slender and weak person in this cold prison. of.But no matter how much he complained, it was useless. He didn't dare to disobey the order of the prince, so he could only take care of him with all his heart, and hoped that the prince would be merciful and let him go out one day sooner.

Sitting in the study, Xiao Yun felt restless and paced back and forth in the room. The attendant next to him could see that the prince was in a bad mood today, so he didn't dare to talk too much. He stood with his hands down and looked down.

Xiao Yun walked for a while, then sat back on the chair, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the boredom in his heart.It's all because I went to see Liu'er. Although the guards were asked to arrange the prison again, it is a place with a lot of gloom after all. I don't know if Liu'er's body can withstand it. When he comes out, he must make up one time.

"My lord! Congratulations, my lord!" A young man ran in quickly, his face full of joy.Xiao Yun was upset, when he saw this, he slapped the table suddenly, "Presumptuous, look what you look like, you ran into my palace at will!"

The boy was originally announcing the good news, and thought he would get some rewards, but before he could say anything, he was scolded first, and his face couldn't help becoming depressed, thinking that the prince didn't know about the happy event, if he heard it, maybe he wouldn't blame him He quickly raised his smiling face and said, "My lord, I'm too impatient, I'm here to announce the good news to my lord!"

"Say it!" Xiao Yun still didn't have a good face. Recently, there are only troubles, but where did the happy events come from.

"My lord, Madam is happy!" After the boy finished speaking, he was relieved when he saw that the lord's face had improved a lot.

"Go, go and have a look!" Xiao Yun was indeed a happy event to have his own flesh and blood, so he temporarily put Liu Er's affairs aside and hurried to visit Sheng Yun.

Sheng Yun hasn't been feeling well recently. The doctor said earlier that she was very happy, but she was afraid that the doctor might misread the pulse, so she didn't dare to say anything. Today, my father invited the imperial doctor from the palace. This time it was confirmed, so I hurried Send someone to inform Xiao Yun.When Xiao Yun entered the room, he saw Sheng Yun stroking his unswollen belly and smiling happily.This warm scene brightened his mood, "Haha, come on, let me touch our baby too!" Seeing that it was his husband coming, Sheng Yun stood up happily and fell into Xiao Yun's arms Li, "My lord, there is a baby here, and Sheng Yun is going to give birth to my lord!"

"Hey, don't move around. You can't be like a child in the future. You have to take care of yourself and your child. If you need anything, just say it. Don't let yourself be wronged." Xiao Yun helped Sheng Yun to sit down, gently He hugged her lightly.

Sheng Yun snuggled up beside him happily, giggling, that's all she wanted for happiness.

Enjoying the joy of becoming a father soon, Xiao Yun has forgotten that in the prison, there is still Liu'er, who is eagerly looking forward to a little pity from him...
