I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 65 Throwing into the Lake
At night, the drizzle slapped the roof tiles and made a crackling sound.

Cheng Yu was lying on the bed, his eyes glazed over.

His back was completely red, and the welts were still clearly discernible.Huan'er looked at his injury, tears could not stop flowing down.

While rubbing the medicine for Cheng Yu, she choked up and said, "You have to be very careful when working with the king. You are so injured, what can you do?"

"Why was I careless?" Cheng Yu said with a lot of grief and indignation: "The king is just angry with Miss Linglong. Hmph! We are the ones who suffer in the end."

Huan'er covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and wept a few times before she said, "That's the case, but you must not have the slightest resentment towards the king. He beat you because he loves you."

Cheng Yu was taken aback, and glanced at her sideways, and said, "What do you call that, the king loves others when he angers others for no reason? Then if you hate someone, why don't you want good wine and good food to entertain you? "

"Hmph! Look at what you said, you were just bickering with me." Huan'er said with some dissatisfaction: "The king's house is kind, how could he beat and scold the servants at will? He must have a deep reason for beating you. You have to remember , you must not be angry with the king, or you will only chill people's hearts."

Cheng Yu was a little angry, turned around slightly, looked at Huan'er's still lovely face, and said, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with the king and want to be his little boy?"

Huan'er raised her eyebrows, and said with great grievance: "What? Do you think I'm going to climb high?"

"Otherwise, why do you speak for the king like this?" Seeing Huan'er's appearance, he also felt that his words were serious, but his words were not forgiving.

"You...you...you really treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Huan'er cursed, then covered her face and began to cry.

Cheng Yu didn't continue her conversation, nor did he come to comfort her, but said coldly: "Huan'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have changed a lot. In the past, you were nailed or riveted, and you were very clear about whether you were right or wrong. .But now? When you enter the palace, you forget about your roots when you get rich. "

Huan'er ignored him, just kept crying.Cheng Yu felt upset, so he said: "Okay, you go out. I will stay alone for a while."

At this time the door was pushed open, and coral came in.

Coral lowered her head to look at the medicine bottle and cotton cloth she was holding in her hand, and it was also very embarrassing to see the two of them.

"Sister Coral?" Huan'er hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I..." Shan Shan looked at Huan'er, and then at Cheng Yu, who looked embarrassed. He guessed the relationship between the two of them a little bit, and said, "The king asked me to come. The king said he would do it today." I made a mistake and asked me to take a look at brother Cheng Yu's injury. I was going to come right away, but thinking that the palace was short of medicine, I went out to buy medicine, so I was delayed."

"Look!" Huan'er was reasonable again, and said to Cheng Yu, "Your Majesty is kind, and he still misses your injury."

Cheng Yu was nervous, afraid that Shan Hu would tell about Zhao Si's marriage offer, so he pretended to be angry and said to Huan'er, "You always have something to say. Go away! Don't stand in my way here!"

Huan'er was taken aback for a moment, and cried, "Okay! From now on, let's ignore each other!" After speaking, she ran out crying.Coral even yelled "Huan'er!" She wanted to stop her, but how could she be stopped?
Coral looked out the door worriedly, and saw Huan'er running farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the night.She was a little worried, but Cheng Yu stopped her: "Shu Shan, don't bother with her, just tell her to go out and cry."

Shan Shan came over and said, "Huan'er has a strong temper, I'm afraid something will happen to her."

"Hmph! What could happen to her?" Cheng Yu was also a little worried, but he couldn't show the slightest concern for Huan'er in front of Shan Shan: "She seems to be a different person, I don't know her at all,"

Coral came over and gently sprinkled the ointment on Cheng Yu's wound.Cheng Yu's back muscles tightened, and he groaned softly.Coral asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit." Cheng Yu said.

Coral gently spread the ointment evenly with her fingers, the technique is extremely gentle, which is many times more comfortable than Huan'er.

"Huan'er is your cousin, isn't it?" Coral asked tentatively.

Cheng Yu knew what she wanted to ask, so he said, "Yes, our two families are relatives. However, she is her, and I am me, so we don't have much to do with each other."

"Why do you say that?" Although the words were a bit reproachful, Coral's tone was very gentle, without any dissatisfaction: "I heard that you were able to come back from Lingnan this time because of Huan'er's troubles. You You just said so many things that hurt her heart, no one can stand it."

"I told her that I have a marriage contract with you, and it was promised by the king. I told her not to come to my place in the future. It's strange to provoke gossip." Cheng Yu sighed again, and said, "It's my tone that is a bit harsh. , that made her cry."

When he said this, he thought in his heart: "Huan'er, I know you treat me well. But now I can't figure out your thoughts and what kind of person you are. For the sake of my future, I can only I have wronged you. If you really have me in your heart, don't blame me."

Shan Shan said lightly: "Huan'er has a deep affection for you. Although you and I have a marriage contract with the king, but if you really miss her and are happy to be with her. Then I will go and tell the king that the king is a person who can People who think about others will understand."

"No, Shanhu." Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "You came to see me today, and I am happier than ever. Huan'er grew up with me and is my good girl. I also hope that she can find someone worthy of entrustment." person, but that person will not be me."

"But won't you repay her kindness to you?" Shan Shan was also a little excited.

"Repay, I should repay. But, I can't wrong you, and I can't bear to wrong you. I always have other ways to repay Huan'er, but this is the only way to repay you." Cheng Yu gritted his teeth, but thought in his heart: "I was sent to Lingnan and suffered a lot. Now even though I come back, I have to sell myself as a slave. These are all thanks to Huan'er's family. Why should I repay her? Why should I repay her?"

Coral was a little shy, and said with a smile: "I can't tell that this person is as stupid as a piece of wood, but he only speaks nice words."

"What I said is true." Cheng Yu said: "From now on, I will only cherish you alone, and I will never forget the kindness of the King and you."

After hearing his words, Coral was so moved that she almost shed tears.She held back her tears and said, "Okay, okay, I'll put the ointment here, and I'll rub it on for you tomorrow."

"Are you leaving?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Why don't you leave, listen to your sour words?" Coral sobbed, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Cheng Yu was about to speak when the door was pushed open again.This time it was Zhao Si who came in.

The two were a little embarrassed when they saw Zhao Si.Shan Shan hurriedly got up and saluted, Cheng Yu also struggled to get up, Zhao Si hurriedly came over to support him, and said: "There is no need to be too polite, you will be well-behaved."

"Thank you... Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Yu was uneasy and could only lie down slowly.

Zhao Siwang looked at Shan Shan, who was lowering his head and looking shy, and said to Cheng Yu with a smile: "Shan Shan is an old man in the house, I should carefully choose a husband for her. At first I was worried that Shan Shan would not With you, but seeing the two of you like this, I feel much more at ease."

Cheng Yu was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Okay, you go out first, I have something to say to Cheng Yu." Zhao Si ordered Shan Shan.

"Yes." Coral replied, and ran away quickly.

Zhao Si closed the door, sat beside Cheng Yu, and asked, "How? Does the wound still hurt?"

"Thank you, King, for your concern. Coral gave the little one medicine, and the pain doesn't hurt much anymore." Cheng Yu replied anxiously.

"Well, it's very good." Zhao Si said, "Today I vented my anger on others and caused you to suffer. I'll make it up to you. I hope you don't hate me."

Cheng Yu was terrified, and hurriedly said: "What did the king say? The little one's life was saved by the king. If the king wants to beat him and punish him, the little one has absolutely no resentment. What is this little pain?"

"I remember your credit." Zhao Si said: "You took the risk of poisoning the wine cup of the official family, and you did a good job. Even if Zhao Ji saved the wine and vegetables, he failed to protect the wine cup. In the future, I will be the emperor. , I will make you a great official, and call you Guangzong Yaozu. Shanhu, I also want to give her the honorary title of first-rank imperial order."

Hearing Zhao Si's words, Cheng Yu was very moved. Even if there was any resentment towards him, it had disappeared at this moment. Even if he died for him, he was willing to die.

"Your Majesty, the villain is willing to die for your Majesty." Cheng Yu struggled to get up.

Zhao Si raised his hand to signal him to lie down, and said, "There is no need to die, none of us need to die. The one who deserves to die is Zhao Ji. Only when he dies can we have a good life."

"Yes." Cheng Yu replied.

Zhao Si turned his gaze and said, "Miss Linglong will go home tomorrow, I'm really worried. I want you to follow her."

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, this Linglong girl is Mo Yunxiao, the eldest daughter of the Mo family in Minglou. Does your lord know about this?"

Zhao Si nodded and said with a smile, "I know."

"Your Majesty should also know that this person has the nickname of 'Female Yan Luo', and she is the tyrant of Tokyo City. She has always been the only one who bullies others, and no one has ever dared to bully her." Cheng Yu said, "Why don't you worry about it, Your Majesty? ?”

Zhao Si smiled and said: "That's why I want you to follow her secretly, don't startle the snake."

Cheng Yu frowned, and said, "Your Majesty has a clever plan, but the villain doesn't understand."

"This person has deep scheming, so we have to guard against it." Zhao Si withdrew his smile and looked around solemnly.This sentence deeply shocked Cheng Yu.It turned out that all Zhao Si's love for Mo Yunxiao was fake, and he was still full of wariness towards her.

"I want to see what she does and who she meets after she returns home." Zhao Si said to Cheng Yu, "I want to leave this matter to the people around me, but your injury is really worrying."

"It doesn't matter!" Cheng Yu agreed straight away: "Even if the body is broken to pieces, the little one has to repay the king's kindness."

Zhao Si nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's good. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and tomorrow will work hard for you. But, be careful in everything, and don't let her find out."

"Yes, the villain understands." Cheng Yu said.

"But what if she finds out?" Zhao Si asked tentatively.

Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "The little one just says what he wants, and the king will never be involved."

Zhao Si laughed and said, "You are smart. When you come back, I will deal with the gift for you and Shan Shan first. With a family, you can also do things for me with peace of mind."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making it perfect." Cheng Yu couldn't hide his joy.At this time, Huan'er's affection for him was all forgotten, and she couldn't even think about it.

At the moment when Zhao Si and Cheng Yu were talking happily, Huan'er was staring at a pool of lake water in a daze.

She took two steps forward, closed her eyes, and the tears still couldn't stop flowing out.

It's not yet summer, but the cicadas are already ringing.There were also bursts of frog calls in the lake.It was such a beautiful night, but it would be a shame for someone to end his life on such a beautiful night.

Huan'er opened her red and swollen eyes, and then looked up at the dark world.She has been abandoned here, and the Western Paradise is the real pure land.The third grandmother Li Xian'e often said this sentence, and it was deeply reflected in her mind at this moment.

"Cheng Yu, we can meet again only if you live your life without any disasters or difficulties." After she finished speaking, she jumped up, and there was a muffled "plop", splashes of water splashed everywhere, and then the lake water was like boiling water The same rolled up layers of waves.

Huan'er's throwing into the lake attracted the attention of a pair of eyes.Those eyes approached slowly and saw the struggling person in the water.The owner of these eyes is Mo Yunxiao.

She came to the lake for a walk in a comfortable mood, but she saw this shocking scene.So without thinking about it, she jumped into the lake and fished out the people in the lake with all her strength.

When the two came ashore, they were exhausted.Mo Yunxiao gasped heavily, seeing Huan'er who kept vomiting and coughing, couldn't help being startled, and shouted: "Huan'er? Why are you!"

Huan'er was still crying and said: "Miss, I have no fun in life, I will only hinder people's eyes, and I can only die cleanly."

Mo Yunxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you in the way of? Who told you that? Is it Cheng Yu?"

Huan'er shook her head and said: "I don't need others to tell me, I know it myself. Cheng Yu doesn't want me anymore, my only hope of living is Cheng Yu. He has abandoned me, so what's my interest?"

"He doesn't want you, I want you!" Mo Yunxiao grabbed her hand and said, "Although I don't know what happened between you, but since he hurt you, you don't have to be attached to him anymore. Tomorrow and I Let's go home together, okay?"

However, Huan'er gently broke free from Mo Yunxiao's hand, and said, "I am grateful for the kindness of the eldest girl, but I can't leave the palace."

"Why? Just for Cheng Yu?" Mo Yunxiao asked strangely.

"No, it's not for him, it's for the king." Huan'er choked up and said, "I can't repay the favor of the king, even if I die, I can only die in this palace. I absolutely can't go to other places gone."

Huan'er's words greatly exceeded Mo Yunxiao's expectations.She froze on the spot for a long time, unable to say a word.
