Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 195 Drunk Confession (3)
"Yes." Lou Xiyue continued to nod.

Chu Yudao: "Have you brought any information on the priests of the Eastern Zhi Kingdom?"

Lou Xiyue shook her head and said: "We are sending people to investigate, but there is no definite news so far. It will probably come tomorrow. But this time, although we didn't find the portraits of those people or anything else, we were surprised. Found something."

Chu Yu looked at him.

Lou Xiyue said: "We found an ancient book, which recorded some secrets of Dongzhi Kingdom. It is said that the blood of the royal family of Dongzhi Kingdom has a very powerful effect, and even in a vaguely mentioned secret history, it is said that There was one year when more than [-] people died in the Eastern Zhi Kingdom. It was said that it was a plague, but in fact it was 'innate emperor's blood, noble and evil coexist'. But we haven't found out exactly how."

Chu Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "This matter may be a bit mysterious, be careful. Besides, it is said that civil strife broke out in the palace, and the new crown prince is a child who is only a few years old. Go and investigate what is going on with this child .”

"Yes."

Chu Yu said: "That's all for today. Go and rest for a while."

As he spoke, he turned around and stepped into a small tent next to him. After reading the letters by the candlelight inside, he frowned slightly and burned all the letters clean. He watched the flames licking the paper, and finally Silvery white ashes, then the heat gradually decreased, and after being annihilated, it became a mass of black.He stretched out his hand to rub the paper dust that was still hot, and it flew in front of his eyes in an instant. He didn't stand up until the dust had completely settled, and then returned to the tent with Jiang Li.

After he washed a little, he opened the mosquito net and entered. The insects and mosquitoes in southern Xinjiang are very powerful. He had been bitten several times on his arm.Chu Yu took out the ointment from the head of the bed, then gently wiped it on Jiang Li's arm, and felt that the redness and swelling felt like it was burned on his heart.

He put the ointment away, and then held her arm with his hand, fearing that she would wipe off the ointment when she turned over.

Jiang Li was in a daze, and subconsciously began to rub his head against his chest, then pressed against his chest, and said in an indistinct voice: "Zixiu."

Chu Yu didn't dare to move anymore, afraid of disturbing her sleep, so she could only use the other hand to gently pull the quilt to hug her, and said softly, "I'm here."

He knew that she was just talking in her sleep, but even if she didn't know, he also hoped to respond, as long as there was a chance to respond.

He hugged her, changed his body to a suitable temperature, opened his eyes and looked at the flickering candlelight in the dark night, but he was destined to have no sleep all night.

Gucheng rode on his horse, and when he saw her off, he seemed to be walking fairly fast, but when he went back, he just rode forward slowly.

In the middle of the night, it started to rain, and Gucheng didn't feel anything, but the rain was heavy, but there was no chill.He actually began to think again in his mind, wondering where she was at this time, and whether there would be a place to shelter from the rain.Thinking of this, there was another thought in my heart, wanting to turn the horse's head around, but this thought only passed deeply in my mind and was suppressed.

After walking for a long time, I came to the place where I lived with her that day again, but at this time, the small shop had not yet proofread, and a lantern was floating in the wind and rain, and was wrapped in the wind. On the mottled wall eroded by wind and rain, it flickered slightly, then extinguished, and then ignited again.

He suddenly stopped his horse and looked at the lantern.

But at this time, a voice came from inside the shop: "It's raining so hard, what are you still doing there, sir? Hurry up and take shelter from the rain."

Gucheng wanted to just ride his horse and leave like this, but seeing the flames rising in the small shop, thinking of the last night, he couldn't help but dismounted again, tied the horse in the canopy next to it, and walked in.

As soon as I entered the store, my wet clothes took on a layer of water stains and flowed around the ground.

The owner of the small shop was obviously very enthusiastic, and hurriedly said: "Master, come and cook by the fire, let's dry the clothes."

Normally, I wouldn’t go back to the lonely city, but today, there seems to be a painful and numb string in my heart, and I have to be plucked on it, as if I can feel the slightest meaning of being alive.He walked over and sat down, his clothes were smoked by the fire and gradually fogged up.

The owner of the inn next to him hastily handed over a cup of hot wine and said, "My lord, drink some of this wine to get rid of the cold."

Gu Cheng reached out to take it, turned it in the palm of his hand, and looked down.

This is wine?The wine is in the heart of sorrow, but I don't know what it can turn into, so that I can fill the gap in my heart.

But he just looked at it, and poured it in without hesitation. The wine was not good wine, and his throat was cut with pain, but his temper was strong, and a gust of hot air rushed up like that, straight along his back.

Such burning pain made him feel a little better.

The owner of the inn saw that he drank the strong wine in one sip, he didn't even take a breath, and his eyes were extremely clear, like a person who had nothing to do, he couldn't help but secretly marveled, but he also admired him meaning.I couldn't help but poured another glass of wine and handed it over: "Sir, do you want more?"

Gucheng didn't speak, just took it silently and drank it again.

Just like that, the man handed him a cup, and Gu Cheng drank it completely. The more he drank, the brighter his eyes became, and the ice in his eyes became thinner.After half an hour, Gucheng drank a large jar of wine to the bottom.

Seeing that the jar was empty, Gu Cheng stood up straight, said "Thank you" straightly, and then walked straight into the room with steady steps.

He walked straight, feeling a little pain in his head, but on those slight pains, he could feel an extremely strong sense of dizziness and relief. He felt a little refreshed, as if all the things that were pressing on his body had disappeared, and he Can do whatever he wants.

The alcohol evaporated into sweat, but the sweat was transparent. He watched everything in front of him drifting away. He gained some strength by using the table, and then sat on the bed, tilted his head and fell down.

There are some things that cannot be told to anyone. You can only hide them in your heart if you love them so much that you hate them. The heart is ice but the body is fire. It is almost a world of ice and fire.

In a blur, he seemed to see a person smiling at him. The smile was so bright that his heart skipped a beat, and he opened his eyes wide to look at it, but it disappeared again.He couldn't help feeling a little self-deprecating in his heart, it turned out that this is what it's like to be drunk.

He thought to himself, but hoped that the feeling would still be there.

In a daze, he saw a person push the door open, still with a smile on her face, she stepped forward and stood in front of him.
