Chapter 60

"Sister, sister—"

Hearing a few distant calls and feeling someone tugging at her sleeves, Ming Yu opened her eyes in a daze, and found herself lying on the dressing table, pressing against the bronze mirror, If it wasn't for the fact that there was an armchair behind him, he might have slipped to the ground.An Mo was standing beside him and couldn't stop calling out, his eyes were full of worry.Only then did I understand, just now I thought that when I heard the words of An Mo's biography, I was angry and sick at the same time, and I lost my breath for a while.After waking up at this moment, he felt a little sweat on his forehead, and his temples still felt like prickly pains, so he sat down on the chair, and when the discomfort passed, he got up and took An Mo's hand Going to his own bed, he said with a smile: "Sister is fine, I just didn't stand firm just now. I haven't slept all night, Mo'er must be sleepy, you can sleep at Sister's place."

"Sister, your hands are cold..."

An Mo obediently sat down on the couch, her raised face still looked worried.

Ming Yu smiled and said: "Sister will add clothes. You can sleep well." While speaking, she already knelt down to remove An Mo's shoes, and when he was lying down and covered with a quilt, she put down the tent again and called the people outside The girl on duty at night kept watch, and then went to Xiaohua Hall.

Tonight, the Gao family held a funeral for the first time, and almost all the servants of the family were transferred to the front hall to entertain guests. The huge backyard was empty, and only the white lanterns hanging in the corridor swayed in the night wind.A thin layer of night mist had already descended from the sky, and Chao Mingyu was enveloped by the wind and rushed towards her. She couldn't help shivering slightly and quickened her pace.

When approaching the small flower hall, Ming Yu could faintly hear some commotion because of being close to the outer courtyard, and when she turned the corner of the corridor, she saw Chun Yuan approaching her head.

"Miss is here? Mr. Xie is already in the hall. I have dismissed all the servants. I will wait here, and the girl will just go there."

Ming Yu smiled, and continued to walk towards the illuminated hall, but unconsciously squeezed the hands in her sleeves, the palms of which were already sweating slightly, and unconsciously stepped up the bluestone eaves steps outside the flower hall, feeling Seeing a black shadow in front of him, he suddenly raised his head and saw Xie Zuiqiao standing there at some point.The halo of the lantern hanging high on the eaves sprinkled on his wide and comfortable forehead, casting a dark shadow on his face.

Ming Yu couldn't see his expression clearly, but felt that he was looking at her with a pair of dark and shining eyes.

"Thank you son..."

He was originally much taller than her, and standing on the steps like this, Ming Yu stopped, raised his face slightly to look at him, and called out softly, his face was covered with a faint layer of pearls by the light of the lantern White.

She was already beautiful in person, but now she was dressed in plain clothes, with no rouge on her face, and even her lips were a little faded, and the two eyebrows on her whole face were black, but it made her look a bit tired Its shocking beauty, standing there, looks like a pear tree stained with snow in March.

"Mo'er said, are you sick?"

Xie Zuiqiao looked at her silently for a moment, then asked softly.

"Accidentally caught wind and cold, rested for two days, it's much better."

When Xie Zuiqiao saw her talking, he only looked at the steps under his feet, suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart to support her, stepped aside, and said: "It's cool outside, come in."

Ming Yu smiled, lifted the hem of the plain dress slightly, and went into the flower hall.

This flower hall is in the west corner of the garden, and there are not many people coming to it on weekdays.On the front of the three rooms, a few half-rolled bamboo curtains are hung in front of a row of open windows near the garden, and there is a shelf next to it, where some porcelain and antiques are placed.

Ming Yu went inside first, and stood by the spotlessly clean desk, Xie Zuiqiao followed, and stopped in front of the open window five or six steps away from her.Neither of them spoke, only a few white candles burning on the lamp stand quietly spit out swaying flames, lighting up the inside in half-light and half-darkness, the figures swayed slightly, making the room even more quiet.

Xie Zuiqiao looked at the girl opposite.Seeing the light from the candlestick beside her slantingly shining on one cheek, revealing half of her white and slender neck exposed outside the collar, even the small earlobes became half transparent, as if they were made of porcelain teeth.At this moment, although her eyes were still half downcast, he could feel her eyelashes trembling slightly at a glance. After staring silently for a moment, he was already infatuated, and his chest was gradually filled with tenderness.

"Sit down, so relax..."

He finally spoke up.

Ming Yu didn't sit down, but raised her head, and said slowly: "Young Master Xie, I am now a beautiful girl. Not to mention myself, even my father can't be my master. You already know, Why are you still so obsessed?"

Xie Zuiqiao looked at her and said seriously, "Before I left Jiangzhou, I was fortunate enough to receive a hexagram from Hu Banxian, saying that I was destined to marry in the capital. To be on the safe side, I asked him to make another divination for me. Back to the front of the road, he misjudged the number of ziwei, and Jiangzhou was the place where I was destined. You also know the name of Hu Banxian. Since he said so, it must be true. The land of Jiangzhou, I only I only belong to you, how can I let go?
Ming Yu heard An Mo's message at first, and his first reaction was that he already knew Hu Banxian's old background, and even exposed himself. He was probing, and even lost his anger in a hurry.Seeing him talking like this at this time, his expression became serious again, and he was a little confused for a moment whether it was true or not.

Could it be that before he left, he went to Hu Banxian to ask him to start his divination again, and Hu Banxian, who is good at observing words and expressions, followed his tone and gave him a new verdict that was satisfactory?
Ming Yu's heart was beating loudly, and he held the corner of the table behind him with his hands, and said, "The so-called divination is originally illusory, and the name of Hu Banxian must have been hit by mistake in nine out of ten. How can someone like Mr. Xie believe in such things?"

Xie Zuiqiao stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Since Hu Banxian can predict the flood in mid-August, he has some way to figure it out. I naturally believe what he said."

At this time, Ming Yu had already concluded that Xie Zuiqiao's words just now must be true, so she finally settled in her heart, let out a little breath, and didn't want to continue to mention this Hu Banxian who made her feel uneasy, and changed her words: "Mr. Xie, Let me tell you the truth. A few days ago, I was summoned into the palace by Concubine Yan. From what she said, I was promoted as a beautiful girl, which was the meaning of the Third Highness. I have always loved your affection for me. Thank you, but I really don't want you to have a child with the Third Highness because of me..."

"I've already had a rift with him!"

Before Ming Yu could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Xie Zuiqiao. He looked up in surprise, and saw him frown and said: "That day in front of Zhakou Pier, he ignored your life and death. I don't care about that, just treat him as the same." For official business. But now he has moved his mind on you again. Let me tell you the truth, it is really impossible for you to ask me to reconcile with him now!" Then he talked about the day before yesterday The dialogue when I met him outside the Gaotao Pavilion in the palace was slightly improved.

Mingyu was startled when she heard this, and in an instant she was in a state of confusion. Gratitude and guilt were like two strands of hemp rope, tightly tangled in one place in her heart, and she looked at him for a long time and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. I never think about it, if one day in the future, if the Third Highness becomes a person above ten thousand people, is it worth it for you to offend him for me today? How will you deal with yourself then? "

Xie Zuiqiao stared at her in a daze for a moment, then suddenly said: "You are like a jewel in my heart, even if you ask me to exchange my life for yours, I will not hesitate. He wants to accept you, but he doesn't treat you sincerely. You How can I advance and retreat with him again? My seven-foot man, if I shrink my head and tail out of all kinds of jealousy, and can't even protect my own woman, what face will I have to stand in the world? And even if it's not about you, I will Breaking with him is only a matter of time. Since I have entered the imperial court, I am either left or right. One day, as you said, when you reach the extreme position, you must have used extraordinary means. As long as I have a breath, I will definitely follow my heart and nature, and make a career, so as to live up to my journey in the world. trip!"

She is like a jewel in his heart, even if he asks him to trade his life for hers, he will not hesitate...

What he said later, Ming Yu could no longer hear clearly, and only repeated his words in his mind.

In the previous life, she fell in love with someone wrongly, and Dugu despaired to death.In this life, I no longer want to, and I dare not think too much about emotional matters. I only hope that my family is safe, which is my joy.Unexpectedly, fate made a mistake, but made her get acquainted with this man who was originally a stranger in this world.After several years of invisibility, until today, I realized that being so persistently cared about by others would be so difficult for others.

How could she refuse him like this?If Mo Ruo advances and retreats together from now on, there is no way out.

Mingyu's stomach felt so tender, she didn't dare to raise her head again, her eyes were already slightly hot, she endured it with all her strength, but the agitation in her heart was still difficult to calm down, she couldn't lift her breath, suddenly felt chest tightness, dizziness, and buzzing in her ears There was a sound, the body just swayed slightly, the next moment, Xie Zuiqiao had already supported him.

"Miss Ruan!"

Xie Zuiqiao stepped forward and hugged her, seeing her eyes half closed, leaning softly on his arms, he was very anxious, he hurriedly picked her up and sat her on the wide chair, saying: " It’s all my fault. You are not in good health, I shouldn’t have called you out in such a hurry. I’ll call Chun Yuan over here, and I’ll take you back to your room to rest together…” As he spoke, he turned around in a hurry, but felt that his sleeves were covered with tears. He pulled it back, turned around, and saw that it was her hand that was grabbing his sleeve, startled, stopped in his tracks, and turned around slowly.

Ming Yu leaned back on the chair, but did not let go of his sleeve, but clenched it even tighter. Looking up, she slowly smiled at him.

"Young Master Xie, treat me well, and I'm not hard-hearted. It's just that in the current situation, I'm really afraid that it will be difficult for you..."

As she spoke, her voice became softer and her head lowered gradually. He stood there, only seeing her dark hair and smooth forehead.

Xie Zuiqiao was startled, and suddenly he seemed to understand, the blood in his whole body seemed to rush to the atrium, as if it was about to explode.

"You really……"

Xie Zuiqiao asked cautiously, staring at her without blinking.

Ming Yu finally raised her face, nodded slightly at him, then let go of his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "The jade ring I returned to you last time..."

"I brought it!" Xie Zuiqiao immediately took it out from his waist as if waking up from a dream, held it in his palm and said, "There was originally a pair, which was left by my mother. One is with my sister, and the other is just for me. Her daughter-in-law's. I didn't dare to mention it to you last time because I was afraid of scaring you..."

At this moment, he only felt that there were countless things to say, but he couldn't say it anymore, so he just laughed.

Ming Yu blushed slightly, and said, "Help me put it on, that's good."

Her white hands were resting on her knees, clenched into a pair of fists with some unease, and he could completely wrap these two small fleshy fists with just one hand.

Xie Zuiqiao slowly squatted down, squatting in front of her, and under her surprised gaze, took her hand and put the jade ring on her wrist.The white wrist and emerald ring are shining brightly in the candlelight.
