Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

repay?

When I heard these two words, I paused.

Under the dim light, he couldn't see the expression on his face, and only felt that he was smiling, but that half of the cold mask made the smile a little chill.

He asked me to repay?

I was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I thought that an adult would be a person who does not want to show mercy."

He laughed, "Is this first class saint?"

"What is that adult?"

"laity."

I looked at him and couldn't help but smile, so I asked, "But I don't know what the adult wants to repay?"

He calmly said: "Mrs. also knows that before the imperial court, she and Xixichuan had a bad relationship and entered Sichuan as their own government. I'm afraid that not many people would welcome it, and it might be more formidable. So this time, the government asked her to take the time to pick up To leave is to be accompanied by my wife. "

"..."

He looked at me and said positively: "This time I entered Sichuan, I hope my wife can take good care of me."

...

He wants me to protect him ...?

In fact, I never had this shadow in my heart, but when I really heard him say it, it was still a bit heavy. The people in Xichuan were not so welcome to Pei Yuanxiu, not to mention that he was a court official, only to fear that once he entered the territory of Xichuan, it had already caused some people to kill.

I thought about it and said, "Adults know that entering the Sichuan River this time may be more violent and less fortunate, why do they still risk their lives?"

He looked at me for a while, and smiled: "The prince of the prince eats food and bears the worry of the prince. The trend of Xichuan and Jiangnan cannot be overstated."

I also smiled-he was real.

If Pei Yuanxiu and I didn't go west, he wouldn't be here.

If Pei Yuanxiu and I don't stay in Nishikawa next, he doesn't have to enter the country by accident.

After all, he came to stare at Pei Yuanxiu.

The temporary peace agreement that they settled in Wangjiang Pavilion was between Jiangnan and the imperial court, but not only these two, but also Xichuan, a three-legged tribe with them, the situation is much more complicated. The proximity of any two of these three parties may cause earth-shaking upheaval. Therefore, when Pei Yuan Xiu entered Sichuan, the court will certainly not despise this matter.

No wonder Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi came together.

I looked at him: "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"However, if something really happens between Xichuan and Jiangnan, my lord will let me make a long journey here, and we will enter Sichuan together. During this time, what should happen, I am afraid it will happen."

"Not so fast."

"Oh?"

I raised my eyebrows and looked at him, and saw his calm and calm eyes.

Indeed, the relationship between Xichuan and Jiangnan was originally very sensitive. I am also very clear what kind of people Pei Yuanxiu and Yan Qingchen are, and this time is not enough for them to build trust; together with me, they ... … The dangers that Liu Qinghan entered the river also existed in Pei Yuanxiu.

I nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and looked at him with a smile: "But Lord Liu, if you enter Xichuan, it may be bad for my husband. You asked me to protect you, not to make me your complicity. ? "

"Because of this, the government only took part in the night and night and sent Lier to Xichuan."

"Oh?"

He looked at me with a smile: "Mrs. is a man with clear grudges, and I think that, I must have read the right person."

"..."

Watching him smile at Wen Wen with confidence, but I seemed to be blocked in my throat, speechless, silent for a long time, only a slight smile.

In my heart, I feel so cold.

Sometimes I feel like he has no amnesia at all.

Otherwise, how could you understand me so well?

However, if he has no memory loss, this gentle smile in front of him, but with obvious alienation in his eyes, is a cool man in the smile, who is it?

The former Liu Saner was long gone; but now Liu Qinghan, I still couldn't understand it.

He seemed to feel a little lost, and he lowered his head slightly to look at me, and whispered, "Madam?"

"what!"

I glanced back to God, looked up at him, and hurriedly concealed and smiled, and said, "The adult's consideration is really thorough, but there is one thing, I don't know if the adult considered it."

"What is it?"

"Does the adult know the identity of Lier?"

As soon as this was said, his face could not see any change, but his intact eyes seemed to blink.

I don't believe he doesn't know.

Even if there is no memory, but sending him south to take charge of such a big matter in Yangzhou, even if the emperor does not mention it, the people around him must analyze him and understand the interests of all parties. The identity of the child must be an unavoidable issue. Pei Yuanzhang has sent so many people to Jiangnan all these years back and forth, and has been looking for this daughter. This is no secret for a long time now. Now that he is in his hands, he has returned stubbornly.

If the emperor knew it, I was afraid that he would not use Xichuan's hands to do it. Naturally someone would unload him.

I asked again: "Does the adult know?"

He was silent for a moment and smiled at me.

"How dare that lord?"

"Don't dare, but you have to do it."

"Oh?"

He looked at me calmly and said, "If you don't send Lier back, what excuse does our government use to enter Sichuan? Your emperor is looking for someone, but this government is not going south to find someone."

"..."

I didn't expect that he would speak so directly, and for a moment he stopped and didn't know what to say. He looked at him for a while, finally relieved him and smiled.

Now, I understand a bit why Pei Yuanzhang must use him to control Yangzhou.

In fact, in terms of qualifications, experience, and connections, in all aspects, he and Wen Fengxi are not the best candidates. After all, one is cold, the other is not fledgling, and they are all suspected of climbing the dragon. However, there are only such young people. People will have the courage to act resolutely and vigorously. Imagine that if an old minister really went south and intercepted Li'er, he would definitely consider the face of the royal family, the event of the ancestor's admission to the ancestor, and she would definitely send her to the emperor to discuss the emperor's favor. When Pei Yuanxiu went to Xichuan to do anything, he was no longer under the control of the court.

But he didn't.

What he had to do was not to please the emperor, but to stand on the same ground as he and the emperor and do a big thing they both wanted to do.

He is not a jester.

Pei Yuanzhang used him, he used it dangerously, but he really used it right.

The next time, he and I didn't talk anymore, just sitting quietly, and the sky slowly brightened, and the dark shadows of the surrounding mountains also revealed their original appearance. When I turned my head, Seeing the first rays of sunlight hit that calm, half-full face.

Although he knows that he has half a ghost-like face, from this perspective, he feels that his cheeks are exceptionally clean, and the lines from the forehead to the chin are clear and clear. The feeling of fortitude rock.

Before, he was my dependant.

Now, he is relying on many people.

Seems to feel my sight, he looked up at me: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

I concealed and smiled. Before I had time to say anything, I suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance.

Bang--!

As if the whole world was shocked, Liu Qinghan and I were stunned, looked at each other, did not react to what happened, and felt that the hull was shaking slightly.

It is the rapids of the river!

I was just leaning on the guardrail, and I was shaken a little, so I couldn't stand upright.

Just then, one hand hurled across and protected me!

"Be careful!"

I was still a bit unstable, a rushed forward, slammed into a familiar but cool chest, and suddenly heard a sudden panic from above my head!

"what……"

His cheek rubbed his chest, it was a smooth satin robe, but the moment the skin touched, it seemed to bring a strange, rough texture from the smoothness of the water, which made my cheeks burn, Even the whole person was numb and froze there.

I looked up and faced his gaze.

At this moment, he seemed a little stunned. He held the railing with one hand and the other came around. It seemed to protect me, but he didn't touch any part of me, but-his taste and breath , But at that moment, I caught my entire body.

"Are you OK?"

I still look at him.

In this close distance, not only can he see his face clearly, but even the light reflected in his pupils can be seen clearly.

Therefore, the embarrassment and consternation in his eyes were so clear, but they just passed away.

There seemed to be a needle that pierced me.

"...!"

My breath was short, but I wasn't too aggressive. I just stood firm and slowly got up from his arms.

The next moment, he stepped back calmly, only to protect me, but never touched my hand to retract it, and put it properly in the back.

"It's rude," he said.

I reached out and held the fence, looked at him pale, and smiled: "I'm ill."

...

After these words, the two seemed to have nothing to say.

He bent down and picked up the fishing rods and baskets that had just been thrown to the ground in a hurry. When he got up again, he took a step back and moved further away from me.

Originally, the familiar atmosphere that had completely surrounded me, also disappeared at this moment. I froze my hand holding the fence and looked at him with a restrained and alienated look, and suddenly smiled.

A not too awkward, faint smile.

He also smiled.

But he didn't know. My nails were holding on to the wooden fence, exhausting my strength, and then I calmed down the heartbeat that was almost out of my chest at the moment.

I laughed a little, and I felt like I was a bit prostrate. I didn't speak or move, and he didn't notice. He turned to look at the place where the voice came: "What's going on?"

"It should be a flood."

"flood discharge?"

"At this time of the year, the Sanjiang Dam will be flooded with floodgates to release excess water."

However, the opening time of the gate must be controlled every day, and the amount of water released is also limited. Because once it is excessive, it may cause disasters along the river, and the ships on the river will be harmed.

For so many years, the Shu people still followed the rules established in the past, and only then they had the richness and richness of Xichuan's "flood and drought follow the people, I do not know how hungry".

I looked up at the stern, but it was surrounded by towering valleys. We had already turned into this channel. Even if we straightened our necks, it was impossible to see it. Liu Qinghan turned around and saw me like this. Said: "You want to see the Sanjiang Dam?"

"Ok."

"It's a pity our ship--" he smiled, "or else you can take your wife over to see."

Although I felt sorry in my heart, I couldn't say anything. I just smiled: "Nothing, I've seen it in the past, but I've been away too long. I want to take another look and see if there is any change."

"Mrs. has been here before in Sanjiang Dam?"

"Here, I came with my mother, she—" Speaking here, he didn't say anything, I stumbled a bit, but looking at him, it was still calm, as if it was just gossiping with me. Normally, when I paused, I asked, "What's wrong?"

I smiled again: "Nothing."

"..."

"The clouds and fog in that valley are like Tiangong's paintings, which are especially good-looking; in spring, the green mountains and green waters, the grasses and long-winged birds fly, and the pen and ink can't paint at all. My mother liked the scenery of the Sanjiang Dam. She takes me there every year. She loves fishing, and a few earthworms can fill a basket. "

"Really?"

"Of course, sir--" I looked at the empty fishing basket in his hand: "But there is still to learn."

"Haha."

"At that time, the fish was very fat. When it was picked up, it was boiled with water, and the smell was so unbearable ..."

He listened to me with interest, and laughed, "I can't help it."

I glanced at him: "Unfortunately, adults are busy with their official duties, and I'm afraid they don't have time to enjoy this-the pleasure of a fisherman."

He looked at me, thought for a while, and laughed: "Future, I hope there will be opportunities in the future."

I looked at him and laughed.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the wharf gradually became lively. Even on the river, there were many ships, and the horns were coming and going. The valley was like a pot of boiling water.

Liu Qinghan said: "It's not too early. Madam, see if she's getting up, we should--"

"mother."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sticky voice from Lier.

We turned around and saw that Lier was still wearing a crumpled nightdress, and his hair was disheveled. He was standing barefoot at the door of the cabin, holding the door with one hand, rubbing his eyes with one hand, and looked at it with sober eyes we.

"Liar? You're awake."

"Ok."

She said sullenly, coming up like sleepwalking, I was afraid she would catch cold, and hurriedly picked her up. The girl yawned, looked at me, and looked back at Liu Qinghan: "Uncle San ... "

"Is Lier sleeping well last night?"

"Okay." She nodded obediently. "I have a good mother and I sleep well."

Liu Qinghan laughed: "Children with mothers are just different."

As he spoke, he reached out and lied about Li Lier's hair that slept behind his head, and laughed, "The Lier obediently wash his face, and after a while, we should get off the boat."

"it is good."

He said, and looked at me again: "I will go with my wife."

I nodded. "Okay."

Having said that, he was about to go back to holding Lier, and as soon as he turned around, Lier suddenly raised his finger to the front: "Rainbow!"

Both Liu Qinghan and I stopped and looked back.

Sure enough, above the valley, a huge seven-color rainbow crosses people's eyes!

Lier clapped her hands happily: "So beautiful!"

It is indeed very beautiful. Such a huge rainbow is like the seven colorful brocades woven by the heavenly girl. The makeup is in the blue sky. The colors are colorful, dreamlike, carrying the vastness of the sky, and the magnificence of the mountains and rivers. Bridge.

I looked at it, and was moved by the beauty.

He turned to look at Liu Qinghan, and he seemed to be stunned. It took him a while to turn around and look at me.

They looked at each other and smiled.

There is more in the smile.

The rainbow has always been a symbol of rain and fine weather.

But this time, it was not that simple.

For the disappearance of Li Er, it may be raining and sunny, but for Xichuan, Jiangnan, and the entire Central Plains, he and Sichuan entered the beginning of the squall.
