Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 37
Unable to sleep at night, I pulled the quilt and sat up.Leaning his back against the wall, he stared blankly at the display in front of him.The incense burner on the table gave off a little light, and it looked like a monster's eyes in the night, staring at me eagerly.

The moonlight came in through the window, bringing a chill, and I couldn't help shrinking my shoulders, and buried my whole face in the quilt.

There was a light knock on the door, and he poked his head out and asked "who" vigilantly.

Minghui spoke with a thick nasal voice: "Miss, it's me."

So he lifted the quilt and ran to open the door, without even seeing her face clearly, he quickly turned around and returned to the bed, wrapping himself tightly.

Minghui held a bowl of food in his hand and looked at me helplessly.She looked tired, and she seemed to be struggling to get up.

"Miss, I saw that you couldn't fall asleep, so I went to warm a bowl of milk, and you'll fall asleep after drinking it."

Can't help complaining: "Why is the sound insulation effect of this house so poor!"

Minghui smiled secretly, and brought the tits to me.Reluctantly, he took it and drank it in one gulp, then threw the bowl back to Minghui, and lay down again.She took it, tucked the corner of the quilt for me, and quietly stepped back.

After drinking milk, I still couldn't fall asleep. I opened my eyes and looked at the roof of the tent, and then slowly closed them when I saw that my eyes were sore.When I opened my eyes again, the sky was bright.

Knowing that I didn't sleep well at night, Minghui brought clear water to wake me up at noon.By the way, he also took the medicine powder and a clean veil to change the medicine for me.

I laughed: "It's just such a small injury, so it doesn't take so much effort."

Minghui's face immediately fell down, and I didn't dare to resist, so I obediently let her play with a hand.The other empty hand was bored, so he kept curling his hair and tangling it between his fingers.

When everything was done, Mingchen reported outside the door: "Master wrote a letter saying that something is delayed and he can't rush to Luoyang in the near future."

Wei Wei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "I will reply to the letter, you go first."

Hearing that Mingchen was drifting away, Minghui had already changed his wound medicine, so he sent her out as well.After laying out the pen and paper, I thought for a while, and could only write down the four words "I am safe, don't read".I also thought that luckily my father stayed in Huadu, otherwise I don't know what to tell him.

Cheng Yu no longer remembers the time he kissed me, maybe in his memory, it was just an illusion.He looked plain in front of me and told me that he was getting married.

And I didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but calmly and self-sufficiently said to him, I know.

He said he wanted me to move back to the palace, but I refused.Blessing him from a distance is the best I can do. If I want to see their love every day, it would be better to kill me with one knife.

Usually, I would compromise as long as he said a few more nice words, but this time, no matter what, I refused to let go.He had no choice but to tell me to go back from time to time.

I don't want to entangle with him any more, so I agree.Cheng Yu also felt relieved to leave.

Watching his back gradually drifting away, I only felt that there was no wave in my heart.But I couldn't sleep all night.

My heart was empty, as if it had been hollowed out, even the wind could pour into my atrium from my nose and ears, swaying back and forth inside, making a sound like a cat whimpering.

Minghui went and came back, and said in a low voice in front of the door: "Second Young Master is here."

The tip of the pen paused, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper.Looks like it needs to be rewritten.

He took out a new piece of paper without raising his head, "No."

There was silence outside the door, but after a while, the sound of Minghui leaving was heard again.

After writing a new one, put it on the case, and read the idle books prepared by shopkeeper Zhu, leaning on the beauty's couch.

One page at a time, until the book is finished, it is almost time for dinner.

Knowing that I didn't want to go out, Minghui brought food to the room.Standing on the side hesitated for a while, until the hem of the clothes was almost torn with his hands, he said, "Second Young Master is still waiting downstairs."

Pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it to the nose and smell it, the sweetness is slightly sour, it is very delicious.

Minghui saw that she was making fun of herself, so she stopped talking and waited blankly for me to finish eating before putting away the bowls and chopsticks.Turning to look out the window, the sky was overcast, and it must be raining soon.The rain in winter is the coldest. It seems that we need to prepare more carbon so as not to be damaged by freezing.

Sure enough, within three quarters of an hour, the sky began to rain lightly.Although it is not big, it is very dense, and a layer of Luo Qi is woven, covering the whole world.The cold wind came in through the crack of the window, and I hurried forward to close it, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw a lonely man downstairs, who raised his head slightly, looking at the window.

It was hazy, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.I could only feel him slightly pursing his lips and revealing a smile.

He closed the window with a "bang", folded himself and picked up another book, this time he abandoned the beauty couch and lay down on the bed.Putting the pillows behind him, pulling the quilt to cover himself, he quietly read a book.

After a long time, it still stopped at the first page.

He raised his eyes and looked out the window, only to remember that he had closed it just now, but he didn't want to move, so he kept this posture.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, beating on the roof, and then staying along the eaves.The sound is hypnotic.Suddenly feeling a little stuffy, I got up and opened a corner of the window to let the wind blow in.

He was still standing downstairs with his back straight and his face blurred.Xing Chen was standing three steps away from him, her whole body was soaked, her clothes were clinging to her body, and there was a layer of moisture on her eyelashes, whether it was rain or tears.An oil-paper umbrella fell at the feet of Xingchen.

As if feeling something, Xingchen suddenly raised his head and shot his gaze straight at me.There was a mixture of resentment, pity, and unspeakable bitterness and astonishment in a pair of eyes.

She just looked at me like that, or rather, just looked in this direction.But in an instant, I seemed to become her, able to experience such helpless feelings.At the end of the day, we are all the same.

They are all the same stupid, the same no hesitation.And it is destined to have no results.

Sighing slightly, he picked up the umbrella by the corner, opened the door and went downstairs.Due to the weather, the business of Chunfenglou was not good today. There were only a few people who were sheltering from the rain sitting in one place, chatting about something, pointing at the door from time to time.

The waiter leaned against the counter, saw me going downstairs, and rushed to meet me and asked what I needed.She waved her hand, smiled and passed by, and walked to the door, the raindrops splashed down, soaking the hem of the skirt.

He opened the umbrella to cover himself and walked in front of the stars, picked up the umbrella at her feet and handed it to her.Xingchen's eyes were complex, he hesitated for a moment, but reached out to take it.I smiled reassuringly, turned around and walked in front of Li Xiaoyi, and raised the umbrella above his head.His entire body was exposed, and the raindrops fell hard on his body, but there was only slight pain.

Li Xiaoyi's eyes were blurred, and he slowly focused after seeing me.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth again, and there was a hint of happiness in his eyes, but it hurt my eyes.

"Qing, Qing'er," he said with difficulty, his voice trembling.Counting it, I have been standing for nearly a day, and with the rain for half a day, it is rare to be able to stand upright now. "I will definitely solve Linlang's matter, don't be angry, okay?"

But for a moment, tears poured out.

He looked at me with bright eyes, sincerity in his eyes, and begging in his tone.He was talking to me so carefully, so carefully.He is obviously such a proud person, but he can be as low as dust in front of me.

Warm tears slid down the cheeks, intertwined with the rain, indistinguishable from each other.

How could I blame him.

I never made any promises about the future between the two of us, and even if he really changed his mind, I wouldn't complain at all.

But, I just don't want to face, almost the same situation.The two men in my life who once made me want to be honest with each other are going to belong to other women.Whether it's Cheng Yu or Li Xiaoyi, they cannot completely belong to me after all.

Thinking of this, my heart ached again.Cheng Yu's back when he left is still in his mind, and even the temperature of his kiss is still hot.A tooth mark on the collarbone is still reminding me of my self-righteousness.In a blink of an eye, he will marry someone else.For the rest of my life, I have no way of knowing whether he ever liked me for a moment.

As for Li Xiaoyi, he didn't even agree to the marriage, he promised me that there would be a future.I can't even blame Cheng Yu, let alone him.

I don't love him, it might be the best choice for him to marry Lin Lang.From then on, the husband can be as expensive as his wife, and he can rise to the top.His status in Shangshufu will rise, and his mother will have a bright future.

"Second Young Master," as soon as he opened his mouth, tears slipped into his mouth, unbearably salty, "Don't come to me in the future." Squeezing out a smile, "It's bad for my reputation."

The stars have already receded into the distance, avoiding our eyes.

"After all, I'm going to marry. If my reputation is ruined, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married." She frowned deliberately, pretending to be troubled.

Li Xiaoyi was stunned, and grinned: "Qing'er, I swear that I will not let you suffer any grievances." The corners of his lips curled up, "Don't be angry." He stared at me earnestly, his eyes were clear and clear , but there was an imperceptible sadness in the corners of his eyes.Then he came to hold my hand.

Turning around and staggering, his hand stopped awkwardly in the air, the knuckles were slender and beautiful, and the index finger curled slightly inward.

I sneered: "Second Young Master, since that's the case, I might as well explain it." Weiwei opened his eyes sideways, unable to bear to continue looking at him. "The reason why I am like this is not because of your marriage to Princess Linlang." She raised her head, and the rain dripped into her eyes, causing a sharp pain.

"We've known each other for so long, and you're such a smart person, there's no reason why you can't see it." He said coldly, looking down at him.

His face was terribly pale, and his lips were slightly blue.Hands clenched into fists at sides.

Suddenly feeling a little bored, he threw the umbrella aside, and the two of them simply stood in the heavy rain.Xingchen also sensed that something was wrong and looked at us anxiously.

The eye sockets were warm and hot, and the tears flowed down like a river that broke its embankment.Fortunately, it was covered by rain, otherwise I don't know how embarrassed it would be.

"From the beginning to the end, there is only one person I like." Slightly smiled.

"Stop talking!" Li Xiaoyi staggered back a step and shouted.Xingchen's expression shook, as if he wanted to rush over, but he didn't dare.

I took a step forward and looked directly at him.There was still that harmless smile on the corner of his mouth, but the words he spit out were as cold as ice.

"You don't have to be sentimental. The reason why I met you was because of Leng Xiang. But now I understand that I still love Cheng Yu." Every time he said a word, his face became paler At one point, he stared blankly at my lips, as if he didn't believe I said these words.

"Even if Cheng Yu is about to marry someone else, even if he can't give me a title in this life," he grinned, with a bitter taste filling the tip of his tongue. "I still only like him, and I still want to stay by his side. I don't regret it in this life."

Li Xiaoyi let out a low growl from his throat, and stretched out his hand to embrace him the next second.

I didn't know that he would be like this, he was unprepared for a moment, and fell into his embrace.His lips eagerly cover mine.

Struggles and kicks are useless.

Tighten your lips tightly and refuse to compromise.He grabbed my jaw with one free hand, forcing me to open my mouth.His tongue took the opportunity to enter, entangled me, and refused to let go.

So enthusiastic, so eager, as if exhausted the strength of a lifetime.I was already overwhelmed by fright, but my mouth was still full of bitter taste.The raindrops on his face fell on my face, and it was the same warm breath.

He froze for a moment, stunned and didn't know how to react.

He cried.

He... actually cried.

His heart seemed to be twisted into pieces by someone holding scissors. His love was obviously a bowl of honey, but I forced it into a bowl of poison.

But I can't give him anything after all.If the eldest prince is offended, the Li family will definitely not have a good life in the court.What's more, he was originally a concubine, against his father's will, the situation between him and his mother can be imagined in the future.

Since I don't love him, why bother him.

Give up resistance and look at him coldly.

His kiss was hot, but it was still slowly cooling down.Let me go, the temperature in a pair of eyes has dissipated, as if I was just a stranger.

I laughed: "Is this enough? Can it offset what you have done for me?" After speaking, I stretched out my hand and pushed him with very light force, but he was like a weightless kite, and I pushed him lightly , and fell backwards.

I wanted to pull him, but finally restrained my hand.

"Don't come to me again." After throwing out such a sentence, he quickly turned around and entered Chunfeng Building.

All the people in the lobby stared at me blankly, and when they realized it, they all looked contemptuous.

Drops of water dripped down from his body, and Minghui stood on the stairs with a difficult expression.

I really don't have the strength to face other people anymore, I just want to fall on the bed and have a good sleep.Leaping over Minghui, went straight to the room, and lay down on the bed.The wet suit sticks to me like hell, but I don't have the energy to care about it anymore.

Vaguely, I seemed to hear someone knocking on the door. The sound was very loud. I wanted to get angry, but I couldn't make a sound.I wanted to get up to open the door, but I couldn't move.Tilting his head, he fell asleep again.

There was a cool touch on my forehead, and someone whispered something in my ear.I tried hard, but I still couldn't hear clearly.Someone held my hand, his warm and strong hand covered my hand, giving me an unprecedented sense of security.

"Water..." whispered unconsciously.

After a while of busy hands, warm water flowed into my mouth along the corner of my mouth, alleviating my anxiety.

There is a sense of nothingness in my heart, as if I want to catch something, but in the end it is nothing.

It was pitch black, but at this moment, it reflected Li Xiaoyi in the heavy rain like a mirror.His eyes have no temperature, he hates me.

My heart started throbbing and I fell asleep again.

After fully waking up, it was two days later.Minghui fell asleep lying on the bedside, her face was full of exhaustion.

Moonlight shines in through the window.Today is actually a rare good moonlight.

Fearing that Minghui would catch a cold, I wanted to ask her to go to bed.But when he opened his mouth, his throat was burning like it had been burned by fire, and the voice he made was hoarse and unpleasant.Minghui woke up instantly. When she saw me wake up, she shed tears before she could speak.

"You...you..." He wanted to persuade her not to cry, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

It was Minghui who came to understand, wiped away tears, and smiled brightly: "Miss is awake, you must be hungry, I'll go get some porridge right now." Without waiting for my reaction, she got up and ran out.When it's coming, don't forget to bring it to the door.

After lying down for so long, my body was already stiff.Struggling to half sit up, leaning against the wall.The cold air spread to the body through the wall, but it was rare to feel much more comfortable.

There was a soft knock on the door, thinking it was Minghui coming back, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Cheng Yu Shiran walking in.He was holding a bowl of things in his hand, and when he saw me open my eyes and looked at him, he smiled in relief.Walked over and handed the bowl to me, it turned out to be pitch-black medicine.

Submissively took it, drank it in one gulp, and handed the bowl back to him casually.Wiping his mouth, he asked, "Why are you here?"

He reached out to touch my forehead and didn't answer directly. "It's not hot anymore. Feeling better?"

I nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Suddenly he saw something gray and black on the front of his shirt, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it off, but it was coal.

Looking at him in surprise, Cheng Yu turned sideways unnaturally, avoiding my scrutiny. "There is not enough manpower, so this son has to cook the medicine for you with his own hands. You should be very grateful."

Sneered: "From childhood to adulthood, how many times have I endured medicine for you? This is just this one time, and you are eager to ask me to repay you?" After speaking, the subject changed: "By the way, where is Leng Xiang? Are you here? Where is she?"

Before Cheng Yu could speak, the door creaked open, revealing Minghui's face.She walked in, followed by another person.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Shun'er.

At this moment, Shun Ren's eyebrows were all gathered together. When he saw Cheng Yu, it was like seeing the Tathagata Buddha. He cried and rushed forward to hug Cheng Yu's leg.I can't cry.

Cheng Yu frowned, and said in a cold voice: "If you have something to say, talk it out, don't panic and panic."

Shun'er calmed down a lot after being hit by him like this, sobbing and choking: "Master, Leng...Princess Lengxiang is gone!"

"What?!" Cheng Yu screamed and stood up, the sudden pressure made Shun'er fall back.

He hurriedly got up, too anxious to speak.I rolled out of bed with difficulty and put on my shoes.Dizzy, almost fell.Minghui quickly supported me.

"Don't panic, speak slowly." Among the people who know the truth here, I am the only one who can keep calm.Her lips were dry, and she licked them uncomfortably a few times.

Shun'er took a few deep breaths, and slowly he was able to say Shun: "Today, the princess asked about my master's whereabouts, and I told her when I saw she was angry and scared." He sneaked a glance at me as he spoke.

I frowned and turned to Cheng Yu: "But did she misunderstand?"

Knowing what happened, Cheng Yu calmed down a lot.Hearing me say this, he also frowned, "Maybe."

"The princess hasn't returned home yet. I thought she might be staying in Chunfenglou, but I asked that girl just now." He pointed to Ming Hui, "I didn't know the princess was here."

He tilted his head to signal Minghui to fetch the cloak, then turned around and said, "Let's go find it together. It's so late, maybe we got lost."

Naturally, Cheng Yu would not object, he just said that I was recovering from a serious illness and that I was not allowed to follow.

He was indeed a little weak, so he didn't try to be brave, and asked Ming Chen and Ming Ye to follow him.Minghui forced me to finish my porridge and then went to bed to rest.

This time I fell asleep very quickly and had a dream.In the dream, I was playing on the swing in Xu's house in Fenghuang, and I was the only one in the yard.But I'm not surprised, I just sang songs while playing by myself.The sun is just right, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Suddenly the force of the swing increased, I exclaimed and quickly stabilized myself.Turning around, I saw Li Xiaoyi standing behind me with a smile on his face. His blue clothes looked like a sapphire under the sun, exuding a warm luster.

I tilted my head and asked him why you came here.

He fished out a plum from behind as if by magic.I cheered, jumped off the swing and ran to him.It's just a summer scene at the moment, I don't know where he found the plum blossoms.

He curled his lips, and his eyes sparkled with joy.

I said that next year today, I will definitely put another plum blossom here for you.

I'm surprised, it's obviously Xia...

Before the words fell, I was shocked to realize that the world had changed, and it was clearly winter at this time.

Li Xiaoyi straightened my head, inserted the plum between his fingers into my hair, and the smile on the corner of his lips grew wider.

I raised my head and asked him if he looked good.

He nodded, looking at me deeply, as if with a lot of reluctance.

Suddenly he smiled, and sighed that next year today, it won't be someone who will give you hairpins.

My heart panicked for no reason, and I hurriedly grabbed his hand.

Of course it's you!Are you going somewhere? !
He was still smiling, but the smile became distinctly thinner, like clouds and mist, gradually becoming indistinct.

I'm in a hurry, won't you accompany me?

Son, it's time to go.Xingchen appeared out of nowhere, standing on the other side calling Li Xiaoyi.

Li Xiaoyi nodded to her, and opened my hand.The smile disappeared without knowing when, and the eyes were cold.
