Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 73 How long do you want me to wait for you this time?
As night fell, a bonfire was lit outside the tent.

The grassland was windy at night, so Su Xi put on an apricot-white cloak with patterns of bees and butterflies, and stood by the stream outside the forest.

The evening wind blows, blowing her cloak and ink-like long hair.Su Xi walked two steps along the stream, turned her head to look at the forest, it was pitch black inside, and she didn't know where Wei Wei was, so she didn't dare to go in rashly.

Su Xi waited for a while, and was hesitating whether to turn around and go back to the tent, when someone behind him shouted loudly: "Who?"

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes.

Su Xi was already guilty, and she wanted to run away after hearing this conditioned reflex.But the other party's movements were faster than hers. He came up behind her on horseback very quickly. Maybe he took her for some kind of thief, turned over and jumped off the horseback, stretched out his palm to clasp her slender shoulders, and asked in a solemn voice. Said: "Who?"

The opponent's hand was strong, and Su Xi only felt his shoulders sink, followed by severe pain.She took a deep breath, turned around and met Li Yan's shocked eyes, and said word by word: "Young Master Li, it's me."

Probably because he has been with Wei Feng for a long time, Su Xi has also learned his manner of speaking, the more angry he is, the slower and calmer he will be.As soon as Li Yan opened his mouth, she recognized his voice.After all, they lived together for a few years in the previous life, and Su Xi's only deepest memory of Li Yan is his rock-deep voice.The reason why he ran away was entirely because he didn't want to have positive contact with Li Yan.It's just that he didn't expect Li Yan to be so blind that he would chase after him.He was wearing casual clothes, and he was leading a maid by his side. If he was really a thief, he would be too blatant, wouldn't he?

Ting Yan behind said anxiously: "Quickly let go of my girl."

Li Yan was shocked, and hurriedly let go of Su Xi's shoulder.

Li Yan is now an imperial guard, wearing a flying fish suit and wearing a long knife at his waist.It happened to be his turn to be on duty tonight, and just now he saw a figure standing by the stream from a distance, and after drinking, seeing the other party panicking and trying to escape, he instinctively grabbed him.

Now he looked at the girl in front of him, unable to recover for a long time.

The moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the bright light shone on Su Xi's small face. When she turned around, her almond eyes were filled with anger and anger. Perhaps it was hurt by his scratching. Her big bright eyes were quickly covered with mist, pink His lips were pursed lightly, his appearance was both stubborn and dissatisfied.Li Yan remembered this face, the Ninth Girl of the General's Mansion, she was born delicately when she was a child, but she never expected to grow up to be such a fairy and beautiful face, like a person who walked out of a painting, every stroke was done with care Outlined, every stroke is just right.Her lips are red without spots, her eyebrows are green without painting, her eyes are beautiful, and her face is bright. No matter who looks at her, she can't help but have the idea of ​​hiding her and enjoying her charm and beauty to herself.Even Li Yan, who is so calm and prudent, couldn't help but stare blankly at this moment.

This move was clearly disrespectful.

Su Xi got annoyed, turned around and left.

Li Yan hurriedly said: "It was Li who offended me. It's just that it's getting late and Miss Su Jiu isn't resting in the tent, so why did you come here?"

Su Xi looked back at him. She didn't want to see him at first, but now she hurt her shoulder again, so her tone was not very good, "If you can't sleep, come out for a walk. If you know you will meet Mr. Li, you shouldn't even if you can't sleep." Just walk around."

Li Yan heard the blame in her words, cupped his fists in apology and said: "Li is just doing his duty, and I hope Miss Su Jiu will not blame her."

But there was no trace of guilt in his tone.

Li Yan is such a person.No matter what happens, he will only think that others are wrong, and he cannot be wrong.Today's matter is that Su Xi shouldn't be here, he offended her, that's the responsibility.

Su Xi didn't want to talk to him, so she turned around and went back to her tent.

It just so happened that there was a strange movement in the forest not far away. Li Yan raised his eyes and saw a figure passing by quickly in front of him. He hurriedly bid farewell to Su Xi, and immediately got on his horse and chased after him.

After riding far away one by one, Su Xi saw something unusual in the forest, and for a moment didn't know whether to go back or continue looking for Wei Feng.There was a burst of pain in the shoulder, which must have been pinched and swollen.

In the end, Su Xi still asked Ting Yan to follow him every step of the way, holding her skirt and stepping on the stones in the stream to the other side.

Although the stream was very slow, Su Xi's embroidered shoes were still wet by the current.She just stomped the water droplets on her shoes, when she looked up, she saw Wei Feng in a dark brocade robe standing under a tall camphor tree a few steps away.

Su Xi was taken aback for a moment, she never expected Wei Feng to be so close.The forest is dark, it is normal for her not to be able to see him, but she is in the light, she has been wandering outside for so long just now, and she was almost caught by Li Yan, he should be able to see it, why is she still silent ?
Su Xi couldn't figure it out, so she didn't come forward for a long time.

After a while, Wei Yan saw that she was hesitating, and finally said: "Not yet, how long do you want me to wait for you this time?"

So Su Xi walked up to him obediently.

Listening to the geese to stay where they are.

Maybe it was because we hadn't seen each other for so long, and the last time we met on Lantern Festival, we didn't speak properly at all, so he kissed me hard.The way back to the northwest paddock was full of eyeliners, and it was even more impossible for the two of them to have a chance to talk.All in all, this was the first time the two of them met in a serious way after three years.

Su Xi put her hands behind her back, lowered her eyes, and looked embarrassed.I have been brewing a lot of words just now, but now I have forgotten them.

In the sparse and bright moonlight, she saw the sachet worn by Wei Feng's waist, which was embroidered with the moon rabbit holding the hydrangea ball, and she was very familiar with every stitch and thread.The color of the sachet was a bit old, and she saw an unnatural circle of needles and threads around the hydrangea, which was to cover up the holes that were burnt at the beginning. Very funny.Wearing such a sachet on Wei Feng's body does not match his image of gold and jade at all.

Su Xi didn't expect Wei Yan to wear this sachet all the time, she thought it was just a whim...

Su Xi's nose was a little sore. Before she could speak, Wei Yan asked, "Does your shoulder hurt?"

Sure enough, I saw the scene just now.

Su Xi lowered her head and blinked her eyes, without hiding it: "It hurts."

As if hearing Wei Yan sighed softly, he leaned over, wrapping his big palm around her little hand, and brought her under the tree.There was a big flat rock under the tree. He hugged Su Xi and sat on it, put his palm on her shoulder and gently pressed it, and asked, "What did you see Li Yan running?"

Su Xi lowered her head, guiltily silent.It can't be said that she was married to Li Yan in her previous life, so she feels uncomfortable seeing him in this life, right?

Fortunately, Wei Yan didn't continue to ask.His hand strength was moderate, just right, and Su Xi was very comfortable when he pressed it.

It was originally a very peaceful moment, but Su Xi knew that all of this was an illusion.There was one thing in her heart, and it was impossible for Wei Yan to be free from estrangement. After all, she missed the appointment first, first made him wait for a whole day, and then made him wait for three years.

After a while, Su Xi felt that her shoulders didn't hurt so much, so she opened her lips and asked slowly while deliberating: "At that time in the other courtyard in the western suburbs... my horse was startled, did you do it?"

Wei Yan above his head didn't speak, but stopped moving.

Su Xi looked down at her fingernails, and her voice was soft. She had learned a lot in Wu County in the past three years, and her speech became more and more like the girl over there, with a long accent, and her voice was like a wrapped With a layer of honey, it is sweet and soft. "I heard from Brother Lu that there is something called a blood fly on that horse, which is why the horse lost control... Dr. Wen also has that kind of thing at home, and Dr. Wen's medicine boy said that you gave it to him... and Back then when the horse fell into the cliff, you were the one who destroyed the body." He paused for a moment, and then said again: "So I want to know, does it have anything to do with you?"

Su Xi waited for a long time, but did not wait for Wei Yan's answer.

She squeezed her fingertips, feeling a little uneasy.

Just when Su Xi thought that Wei Yan would not answer, his cold voice rang above: "You left without saying goodbye, didn't it be because you believed his words and thought I did it?"

Su Xi raised her head abruptly, and said in surprise, "You know everything?"

Wei Feng's thin lips curled up in a cool arc, neither affirming nor denying.

Su Xi's heart was getting colder and her little face was getting paler and paler. He knew it, but why didn't he explain it to her?Could it be that he did it?
Wei Yan could see through what she was thinking at a glance, his black eyes sank, and the hand holding her shoulder tightened involuntarily.

Su Xi frowned, and said coquettishly, "Ugh...it hurts."

Why can't this little fool be smarter after three years?Wei Yan grabbed her wrist and lifted her up, leading her to the depths of the forest.

Su Xi staggered, his legs were long and his strides were long, she had a hard time following him. "Where are you taking me?"

Wei Yan remained silent, and finally walked under a tree where the horse was tied, untied the rope, and carried Su Xi to sit on the horse's back.

Since several accidents were related to horses, Su Xi was instinctively afraid when he saw a horse.Holding the saddle with both hands, she asked in panic, "Cousin Tingzhou, what are you doing?"

Wei Yan said: "Don't you think I want to harm you? Youyou, what do you think is my reason for doing that?"

Su Xi froze, "To save me...force me to accept you."

"That's a good guess, I thought so too." Wei Yan's voice could not hear any emotion, he wrapped one hand around Su Xi's slender waist, and held the rein with the other, "Then it's more straightforward for me to do this? Hold on tight, Otherwise, if you fall, I don't care about you."

Before Su Xi could get ready, she flicked the whip hard, and the horse rushed out like an arrow off the string.

There was a rush of wind in my ears, the scenery on both sides reversed quickly, and Wei Yan rode fast on his horse.The mountains and forests at night were dim, and several times Su Xi thought they would hit the trees in front of them, but Wei Wei narrowly avoided them.Her heart was beating like a drum, her face was pale, and she wanted to beg Wei Feng to stop, but because the wind was too loud, she was blown away in the wind before she could finish speaking.

Su Xi gradually lost her grip on the saddle in front of her, but Wei Yan didn't intend to stop, instead he whipped the whip a few more times.She turned around and hugged Wei Yan's waist tightly, tears rolling down from her eyes, "Please, stop..."

Wei Yan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Youyou, is it only at this time that you are willing to hug me?"

As soon as Su Xi's tears fell, they were blown dry by the wind.She buried her face in Wei Yan's chest and cried, "No."

They unknowingly ran to the depths of the mountain forest, and there happened to be a downhill in front of them. The horses carried them and galloped down, and the wind whistled.The feeling of weightlessness made people even more frightened. Su Xi hugged Wei Feng's waist tightly, annoyed him, but she had to hug him tightly, crying pitifully: "Cousin Tingzhou, I'm so scared... woo, you stop, okay?"

Wei Yan suddenly asked nonchalantly, "Su Xi, do you know what I've been thinking these three years?"

Su Xi didn't want to think about anything else, she shook her head, and wiped her tears on his clothes by the way.

Wei Yan said in a hoarse voice, "I want to crush you and put you in my heart."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Feng finally slowed down and rode his horse slowly through the forest.

But Su Xi never let go of him, her hands were tightly wrapped around his waist, her whole body was nestled into his arms, her cheek was pressed against his chest, she looked obedient and docile.

Wei Yan's words just now echoed in his mind——

"If I really wanted to force you, I should have engaged you at that time. Why wait until now? The reason for the horse to be taken back is to check its signs. As for the bloodfly, you really believe what Lu Jianghuai said. You, If a person holds a knife in his hand, does it mean that he has just killed someone? Isn’t it too unfair to me to be beaten to death with a stick without giving me room to explain?”

Wei Yan brushed her thick eyelashes with one hand and wiped away the tears from her face. "The horse has stopped, why don't you let go?"

Su Xi turned her head to hide, her hands were still holding him, just to hug him.

Wei Yan smiled in a low voice, kissed her tear-stained little face, all the way down, enfolded her lips, and entangled in the kiss.It took a long time to let her go, and said: "If you don't let go, it will be more than just a kiss."

Su Xi blushed, and quickly let go of his arm, but Wei Yan pressed it back again the next moment.He said: "Forget it, let's continue to hug."

Su Xi raised her head and asked, "Then who was the one who hurt me?"

"When you were playing Lu Qiqin, who were you by your side?" Wei Yan's thumb stroked her pink lips.

Su Xi thought for a while, "Sister Qi?"

Wei Yan gave a faint "hmm".

Su Xi was surprised: "Why did she treat me like this?" After contacting the cause and effect, she said in disbelief, "Is it because I took the Lu Qiqin?"

Wei Yan was silent.This is just one of them.

Another reason is that Yin Qiqi knew about their relationship. When he released fireflies for Su Xi in the western suburbs courtyard, he was inadvertently not aware that Yin Qiqi was nearby.Afterwards, Yin Qiqi devises a plan to scare the horse, and wants to let Lu Jianghuai rescue Su Xi when Lu Jianghuai is by Su Xi's side, so that the two can have a skin-to-skin relationship.

Afterwards, it was found out that it was her who did it. Not only was she not afraid, but on Wei Feng's birthday, she threatened him to accept the fan she made herself.

"Then where is she now?" Su Xi asked hurriedly.

Wei Yan's words were uneventful: "He's dead."

Su Xi opened her eyes.Although Yin Qiqi also died in her previous life, she died after she got engaged to Wei Fen. This time, she didn't get engaged to Wei Fen, so why did she die?
Wei Yan pinched Su Xi's nose to prevent her from thinking wildly, "I didn't do it."

Su Xi said: "Then why does she..."

It's true that Wei Feng didn't do anything, but the news that Yin Qiqi had privately handed him something private, first a purse, then a fan.Therefore, Yin Qiqi's reputation is not good, and the concubine of Jin even publicly called her "immoral".

The Yin family saw that there was no hope of marrying Jin Wangfu, so they found another marriage for Yin Qiqi.Yin Qiqi couldn't accept it for a while, and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake in her backyard.

It's been two years since this happened.

Su Xitan opened her mouth slightly, and mumbled, "I've never heard of it."

Wei Yan rubbed her lips with his finger, and his eyes darkened, "You are in Wu County, how do you know about the capital?"

Su Xi knew that she was wrong, so she pursed her mouth and said strangely: "Then why didn't cousin Tingzhou go to Wu Jun to ask me to clarify?"

Wei Yan smiled coldly, pinching her chin with his fingers, "Youyou, you trust other men's words, I don't blame you, but you blame me instead?" He cared about her, but he was still worried, and sent two people to follow her all the way to Wu County.

Su Xi's eyeballs rolled around, and before she could figure out how to explain, she was hugged by Wei Feng and turned around, sitting face to face with him on horseback.Then there was a crisp sound, and there was a burning pain in her little buttocks.

Su Xi was ashamed and annoyed, staring at Wei Wei: "You, what are you doing?"

Wei Yan didn't speak, and hit her little butt a few more times.

Rao Wei Yan only used three layers of strength, but he is a martial arts practitioner, with such strong hands, it is natural for Su Xi, who is delicate and tender, to be unable to bear it.

Su Xi's eyes turned red quickly, she didn't know whether it was from shame or pain, "Woo...don't hit me."

Only then did Wei Yan stop his hand, and rubbed the place where he had just hit it, "This is punishment for trusting others' words."

Su Xi blinked her big watery eyes, not knowing why, could it be something else?
Sure enough, Wei Yan continued: "Next time I will punish you for leaving without saying goodbye."

Su Xi: "..."

After walking back for an hour, Wei Yanmao cried and pretended to be merciful. He was the one who hurt Su Xi, but he still said he wanted to rub her.Su Xi refused to let him take advantage.

Wei Yan pressed against her ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to look at it for you?"

How could Su Xi let him see such a private place, she immediately pushed his chest angrily, and refused solemnly with a blushing face: "No."

After returning to the camp, Su Xi wanted to take a look at her injuries, but was too embarrassed to speak to Ting Yan, so she had to endure it, wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.

The next day was the first day of hunting.There are three days in total.

Emperor Zhaoyuan personally sat in the town and generously promised that whoever won the first prize in this hunting competition would agree to any request of this person.
