The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 156 The Things in the Letter

1
This time Langcheng walked through the door. When the man came in, he brought in the cold air from outside. Xu Qingluo's sense was sharp, and he subconsciously retracted his hand a little. He had experienced many things in the past few days, and it took a lot of effort. Too much, plus not having a good rest, even with the tonics I prepared, I will eventually wear down my body, and I am more sensitive to cold and heat than in the past.

Lang Sheng stopped at the door, Xu Qingluo tilted her head, she was still a little confused at first, so she said, "Come in quickly, are you starting to feel embarrassed again after you have entered and exited my room so many times?"

There was mockery in the girl's voice.

There was no answer, and he stopped by the door. The man reached out and took off the heavy coat on his body, revealing the black robe inside. The tailored robe obediently attached to the man's body. The broad shoulders, the gentle chest, the vigor With a thin waist and a straight figure, Xu Qingluo has even seen men without clothes on. It shouldn't be a big deal, but sometimes, wearing clothes is more attractive than taking them off. Looking at Langsheng, he felt a little thirsty.

Lang Sheng didn't see Xu Qingluo's scorching gaze, he turned around and hung the coat he took off on the shelf by the door, and walked into the room, but instead of sitting directly opposite Xu Qingluo, he walked into the room The place where the brazier was placed, fiddled with it for a while, and the fire was lit in two or three strokes.

The silver charcoal is gradually stained with sparks, exuding a warm breath little by little.

The man squatted over there, fiddled with the tongs a couple of times in a very natural way, then rubbed his hands against the steaming heat twice, and finally stood up and sat down by Xu Qingluo's side.

Xu Qingluo watched the man's every move, how smart she was, she was a little confused just now, now seeing the behavior behind the man, she already knew what the man was doing.

The warm feeling in my heart is about to melt away. In the past and present, no one has ever been so considerate and careful to her.

Men don't love her with poems, don't talk sweet words, and even want to back down in their relationship several times. He has countless things that are bad for ordinary women, but these bad things are caused by his kindness to her. , Those who are careful before, can't be compared at all.

The man's several retreats, the man's hesitation, have always been because he cares about her. He likes her and has a man's possession, but it is more because men rarely cherish women sincerely.

Just like at this moment, before approaching her, what he cared about first was worrying that the coldness on his body would chill her.

A man is not a careful person emotionally, but every bit of tenderness he gives Xu Qingluo is something that even those who claim to be the most careful in the world cannot give.

"Although it's spring, the weather is still a bit cold. Cover the windows when you read in the future, don't let yourself catch the cold just to look at the moonlight and spring."

Lang Sheng stretched out his hand to hold Xu Qingluo's hand, and said softly.

There was a little warmth in the man's palm, and Xu Qingluo's somewhat cold hand was wrapped by the man's big hand, and the little warmth spread along the touching palms and passed to the girl's heart.

"Understood, butler."

The arc of Xu Qingluo's lips was clearly playful, and the address in her mouth made Lang Cheng stunned.

He frowned: "Your mouth sometimes has no taboos. It will do anything to me in the future. If it is to other people, you'd better be careful."

This is a lesson, but it is more concerned.

What he thought of was not the girl's address to him, but the news he learned in the palace. The girl actually hijacked Mrs. Wang to go to Jingzhao Mansion Yin. Even if he didn't use his skills to protect himself, he would be seriously injured.

Xu Qingluo pursed her lips, sometimes Lang Sheng was really incomprehensible to the extreme, if she was dexterous, she should be called housekeeper now.

Hey.

"You knew already?"

After Xu Qingluo pursed his lips, he opened his mouth uncomfortably.

"The daughter of the Xu family hijacked the crown prince and side concubine to make a big fuss with the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. His reputation of being courageous and open-minded than a man's eyebrows has been spread not only in the capital, but also in the palace. If I don't You know, but you are really deaf."

Lang Sheng's voice was a bit cold, but he still held Xu Qingluo's hand with his warm hand, providing her with warmth.

Xu Qingluo snorted, and wanted to take his hand away from Lang Sheng's, but the man clenched it tightly and refused to let him.

The girl struggled harder: "Then you mean that I'm meddling?"

Even if she knew that the man didn't mean that, and knew that the man might be worried about her, she still felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. Xu Qingluo could always be rational in front of others, but in front of Lang Cheng alone, her reason always slipped halfway from time to time. Go, I can't control it.

Lang Cheng's downcast face couldn't hold back anymore. He frowned and looked at the girl, looking at the stubbornness in the girl's face and eyes. After a while, he stretched out his other arm and hugged the struggling girl fiercely, comparing her to him. The petite too much body tightly protected: "Thanks to you for what happened in the general's mansion today, my mother was not frightened more, and the plaque of the general's mansion and the reputation of the general's mansion were saved. You are very good. That's great, but have you ever thought about hijacking the concubine of the crown prince and forcibly breaking into Jingzhao's mansion, if you have something, what do you want me to do? I clearly left you a protector in Xu's mansion, but you let People must stay in Xu's mansion and must not interfere with the affairs of the general's mansion, you are really "

What is it, Lang Sheng can't say it.

"It would be great if you could rely on me more. It would be great if I could let you rely on me at ease. After all, I am incompetent. There is no way to make you and my mother not afraid of anyone."

Lang Sheng hugged the girl's body even tighter, his voice became lower and lower, and finally became silent.

Xu Qingluo listened to the man's heartbeat, and heard his somewhat rapid heartbeat, put away the dissatisfaction on his face, and the girl in the arms of the man slowly stretched out her hand, with jade-colored slender fingers, pressed Live in a man's heart, where is the hottest and warmest place on his body, because that heart really holds her.

"It's not that you are not enough for me to rely on, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that, Ah Cheng, you want to protect me, provide me with a barrier, and make no one dare to hurt me, humiliate me, or slander me." , slander me, why am I not like this?"

"I don't care about the General's Mansion, but that's the dignity you bought with your life. How can I not protect it?"

Xu Qingluo's two rhetorical questions came out, and Lang Sheng's face was a little tangled, touched, and even more helpless.

He was happy that she was kind to him, but her kindness always made him feel unable to repay.

All along, in this relationship, she has been too firm, and her firmness made him feel ashamed.

"If anyone wants to hurt you, they must first step on my dead body!"

The girl's fingertips were at the center of the heart, pointing softly without any force, but her words were the most powerful in the world.

The man felt like an arrow had been shot in his heart, and could no longer say anything.

Lang Cheng felt that his entanglement and hesitation were so ridiculous in front of the girl's steadfastness.

"Today is actually not without good things. In fact, I should also be grateful to the prince and side concubine."

Xu Qingluo raised his head, pretending not to see the expression on Lang Sheng's face, the corners of his lips slanted slightly, and said so.

Lang Sheng came back to his senses, and looked at Xu Qingluo with a wicked smile, he was a little puzzled: "Then Wang's actions are so presumptuous and vicious, how can I be grateful to her?"

He was always too serious and didn't realize that it was just a joke that the girl wanted to divert his mind.

"...Well, today, the Wang family made such a fuss in the general's mansion, so I have the opportunity to appear on the stage like a hero, have the opportunity to live and die with the general's mansion, and only then have your mother's little approval for me , when the two of us came back, we came back together in a carriage, and Huang Yiyi came back by herself, tell me, is this something to be happy about?"

Xu Qingluo made no secret of his gloating.

This kind of her is a little more cute than before, and the beautiful eyes that should be moist and moist seem to be filled with smiles, which makes the man a little dumbfounded.

"as long as you are happy."

The boredom in my heart seemed to dissipate for a moment, that's all, no matter what, as long as the girl can smile as happily as she is at this moment, it's better than anything else, he just needs to pay more attention to her in the future.

Lang Sheng couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress the girl's hair, the feeling was still so good, the extremely soft hair was flowing in the palm of his hand like flowing water, which didn't match her stubborn temper at all.

"Can you brush my hair again?"

Xu Qingluo suddenly said.

Lang Sheng's hand stopped, and the next moment, the corner of the man's lips curled up, and he replied, "Okay."

"Use this comb."

Xu Qingluo took out a mahogany comb from the jewelry box in front of the dressing table. The small and exquisite wooden comb was held in Lang Sheng's palm, and it looked even smaller. It seemed a little funny to hold it in a man's big hand.

"It was then."

Lang Sheng felt that this comb looked familiar. After turning the comb over, he looked at the marks on it that he intentionally or unintentionally wrote down when he combed the girl's hair last time. The smile on his lips expanded uncontrollably, and he moved away several times. The Xu family threw away so many things, but Xu Qingluo always carried this comb.

"It's my 'favorite'."

Xu Qingluo's fingertips brushed slightly between his temples, deliberately emphasizing the three words "favorite".

Lang Sheng felt that the room was a bit hot, and it had been a long time since the charcoal pot was fired, and he didn't control the heat properly.

The mahogany-colored comb slowly ran down the ebony-like hair. The man's big hands seemed clumsy, but they combed the girl's hair with exceptional gentleness and dexterity.

"Your combing hair is much more proficient than before."

Xu Qingluo couldn't help teasing, looking at the tall figure of the man behind him from the dizzy yellow bronze mirror, his somewhat blurred face, and his gentle movements, he felt satisfied but felt a little regretful, if this mirror It would be nice to be clearer.

Xu Qingluo thought of the mercury mirror in the hands of Westerners. She also had it in her previous life, and she regarded it as a treasure at first, but at that time it was to ensure her own beauty. Later, she fell into such a situation where she could not advance or retreat, and was cast aside by thousands of people. On the contrary, I don't like the mercury mirror very much.

But now, she especially wanted one side, wanted to be able to see clearly the figure and face of the man combing her hair, and wanted to see clearly the affection in his eyes at the moment.

"Don't go out easily in the past few days. Your Majesty means to let this matter go. The Wang family must hate you now. She has the support of the Wang family and the prince behind her. I am worried that she will treat you."

Lang Sheng's words were interrupted by Xu Qingluo.

"so what?"

The girl sneered, turned her head to look at the man, the light in her eyes was extremely bright: "The Wang family's support from the Wang family behind them and the prince's support really made many people jealous, but there are more than just the Wang family and the prince in the capital. !"

In addition to the third prince who was removed from the royal family, Qin Heng who was named the prince, and the nine princes, there is also a fifth prince and a seventh prince in the capital, although those two princes are not very good. The emperor's favorite, but there are people behind it.

"Today's matter, the Wang family wants to be kind, and His Majesty wants to make big things small, and small things should be made small, but the other princes and families in the capital must agree."

The maliciousness of Xu Qingluo's smile did not conceal her thoughts at all.

Just told her just now that seeing Huang Yiyi come back alone, she was very happy.

Lang Cheng suddenly realized that the girl seemed to be more and more relaxed in front of him. He used to think that she was too mature and stable. Although such a stable and mature girl moved his heart, sometimes he was worried about regret, worried Why is a 13-year-old girl acting more orderly than a 24-year-old girl? Some precocious people are born, some are forced, just like him, when he was a teenager, because of the death of his father Under pressure, he pretended to be old enough to join the army at a young age.

It was a pity that he couldn't see the girl's immature side. In his heart, he wanted to see a girl with more faces, and wanted the girl to relax in front of him.

But at this moment, he knew that he had done it and got it.

For a while, he didn't pay attention to the analysis of the court situation in the girl's mouth.

Xu Qingluo talked a lot without concealing her familiarity with certain people and certain family forces. After the analysis, she looked up at Langcheng, waiting for him to ask how she knew these things, although she made up her mind that she would not She will tell Lang Sheng about her past life, but she wants to be as honest as possible about other things.

Xu Qingluo got it. Only the man smiled and praised: "Luo'er is really amazing."

that's all?Don't ask yourself how you know, don't ask yourself if there is anything you are hiding from him, don't ask yourself why you are so sure that there will be a lot of fun in the court tomorrow?
that's it!
Don't ask anything, don't say anything, don't need reasons, don't need doubts, Xu Qingluo said it, and Lang Sheng believed it.

Xu Qingluo looked at the back of the man leaving, and stroked her hair which was tied by the man. It was a ponytail, and on it was a pearl flower made of pink pearls. It was exquisite and small, and the craftsmanship was really good.

It seems that I have really practiced hard, and it is nothing compared to the last time when I was clumsy even combing my hair.

The girl's hand slowly slid down from the beads in her hair to her cheeks, the corners of her lips, and her fingers clearly outlined the upward curve of her lips at this moment.

Forget it, the most important thing now is not those reasons, but to take advantage of this rare opportunity to stabilize the relationship with Langmu.

She couldn't wait to marry Lang Sheng.

For such a good man, especially after being trained by himself, Xu Qingluo is really worried about being snatched away by others.

Well, Mother Lang was quite frightened today, so I'll go to the kitchen to make some peace of mind and let Baicao deliver it later.

Thinking about this, Xu Qingluo turned around and went to the kitchen. She paused and saw the basin of water that Baicao brought in at noon.

Xu Qingluo pulled out the letter paper from his sleeve, walked to the basin, unfolded the white snow-white paper, twisted a corner with both hands, and gently and slowly put it into the water.

The water stains quickly covered the paper, and the ink marks gradually appeared on the white paper.

Xu Qingluo looked at the handwriting on the letter paper, which was the same as that on the envelope.

"Tonight?"

Xu Qingluo was talking to himself, rubbing his fingertips, reaching out for a long time to take out the paper soaked in water, slowly folding it up, kneading it into a ball, and then walked over to the burning charcoal basin , The paper ball was thrown in, and there was a stabbing sound.

In the misty white mist, the ball of paper slowly turned to ashes.

No matter who the inviter is, she will always go to see her. She has to pay attention to what is said in the letter.

-

There is a curfew in the capital, and at night it is almost impossible to see anyone. Xu Qingluo wore a dark cloak, went out from the back door, turned left and right to a small alley, and the smell of wine continued to radiate from the alley. The mellow and pure fragrance is not inferior to those tribute wine and imperial wine.

Xu Qingluo slowed down and turned into the alley. From a distance, he saw a table, two stools, and a small burning stove, glowing red, with a jug of wine on it, two The cup, illuminated by the moonlight, dyed half of the table with sparse halos of light, dividing it into light and dark halves, which was inexplicably bleak.

Xu Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the shadow where the moonlight could not reflect at all, there was no movement at all.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, showing a sneering expression. She walked to the table, sat down, and stretched out her hand.

Another hand, much bigger than Xu Qingluo's, pressed the back of her hand: "This wine is not hot enough, if you want to drink the best wine, you need to wait patiently."

The man's voice was very familiar, Xu Qingluo raised his eyes, looking at the face of the man whose back was facing the moonlight and only a faint outline could be seen: "Mr. Yan's body is better not to drink casually, if you really want to Drink, it’s better to drink medicinal wine, the few jars of medicinal wine I gave you should be drunk more diligently, and I think they can be used for a few more months.”

Xu Qingluo directly pointed out the identity of the other party.

A man's deep laughter fell from the top of his head, and Gong Ziyan lightly lifted his robe, and sat down on the seat opposite Xu Qingluo: "I don't see you every day, Luo'er, like three autumns since the day of separation. Counting from the beginning, up to now, we have been separated for countless years, seeing you today, I am really very happy in my heart, it is not a big problem to have a drink to enjoy myself."

The young master Yan Ruyu has a gentle and elegant smile and an elegant temperament. Even if he is sitting in a dilapidated alley, he still seems to be in the middle of Yuyu Qionglou, lighting up the alley.

"Young Master Yan, I came here today only for the things you said in your letter. For the rest, please forgive me for not thinking."

Xu Qingluo lowered his eyebrows, but he did not hide the sharpness in his words.

Listening to Xu Qingluo's unceremonious words, Gong Ziyan smiled, took down the already hot wine from the small stove, tilted it, and the crystal clear and mellow wine fell into the porcelain cup.

The man raised his glass in front of Xu Qingluo: "It's rare to meet you, how about having a drink with me and I'll tell you?"

Xu Qingluo took the wine glass from Young Master Yan's hand, and put his head up into his throat.

She was so happy, but Gong Ziyan was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I will use some ingredients in your wine?"

You know, no matter how good Xu Qingluo's medical skills are, he can't know all the poisons and drugs in the world. This thing is impossible to guard against.

Xu Qingluo finally raised his eyes, with a faint color in his eyes, put down the empty wine glass, and said word by word: "You can't!"

"You have countless chances to attack me. If you really want to deal with me, I won't sit here right now, let alone."

Xu Qingluo reached out, took the jug in front of Gong Ziyan, poured himself a glass of wine, and poured it down his throat: "You are not such a person."

It's not that Gong Ziyan won't use insidious methods, but Xu Qingluo feels that he treats him and Lang Sheng like himself. Gong Ziyan seems to be joking, but in fact he has always adhered to a little principle.

Maybe it's because he and Lang Sheng are each other's 'friends'.

Gong Ziyan watched Xu Qingluo drink another glass of wine unpreparedly, and after hearing her affirmative words, he suddenly laughed out loud, first in a low voice, then loudly, and finally he couldn't breathe The breath is normal, and the corners of the eyes are shining with crystals.

Xu Qingluo looked at Gong Ziyan's almost crazy smile, didn't say anything, just poured a glass of wine again, although she didn't know what kind of wine it was, but according to her judgment, it was the kind of wine that was worth a thousand gold, rare and rare Yes, it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to drink more at this time.

Xu Qingluo doesn't like wine, but she likes good wine.

Gong Ziyan's laughter gradually changed from strong to weak, and finally stopped. He looked at Xu Qingluo, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the sparkle from the corner of his eyes: "Luo'er, you are indeed my confidant."

"Just because of what you said just now, I'll give you what you want."

A small booklet was placed on the table. It was an old booklet with a blue cover. There was no writing on the cover, and the corners of the pages were rough. It could be seen that it had been read too many times: "This thing, If you really understand it, you might be able to save Langsheng."

His eyes gradually turned cold, as if there was a piercing chill in his eyes: "From now on, I will be the enemy."
