The warm breath came over, Le Zhi lowered his head in a panic, and his kiss fell on her forehead... As soon as he touched it, he left, leaving only a little bit of warmth.
At night, even with the stove burning in the house, it was still a little cold. Huo Du lightly hugged Le Zhi and lay down together, then pulled the quilt and wrapped the two of them. The quilt in the nunnery was a bit rough, not as soft as in the mansion. Le Zhi turned around and frowned slightly—
The rough quilt on the neck was a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Huo Du pulled the quilt off her body and stared at her neck. In just a moment, the tender and white skin was rubbed red. He didn't think much about it, he took off the crimson shirt on his body, covered her exposed neck, and then covered the quilt.
His clothes were wrapped around her, and the quiet and familiar smell was entangled in her nose, making her a little dazed... But she didn't want to think about the reason why she was in a trance.
After gently closing her eyes and then opening them again, Le Zhi continued to think about Shen Qingyan's affairs. She detailed all the plans she had in mind and compared them carefully.
"...But if this is the case, if Shen Qingyan changes his mind halfway, we will become very passive..."
The voice gradually weakened, and she finally couldn't hold back her sleepiness, and closed her eyelids and fell asleep.
The long breathing sounded around his ears, Huo Du stood up, fixed his eyes on her sleeping face, and watched quietly for a long time...
Le Zhi suddenly fell into a nightmare when he was about to wake up. There was an invisible force dragging her in, and in a trance, she had returned to Dali, in the bustling capital street...
She lowered her eyes and saw that she was wearing the clothes of ordinary people.
"Twigs!"
A bunch of candied haws suddenly appeared in front of him, Lezhi raised his eyes in astonishment, and saw a familiar face—
Royal brother.
"Why are you dumbfounded? Take it!"
Le Zhi raised his hand to wipe the wetness from the corner of his eyes, and then took the candied haws... Le Jun smiled and turned to the end of the street to buy a candy man for her.
This was the scene when the emperor's brother secretly took her out of the palace to go shopping in the city last summer. Le Zhi woke up instantly, she knew that she was in a dream, but she didn't want to wake up, she wanted to see the emperor's brother's face again.
Feeling suffocated, she raised her legs and quickly followed...
But suddenly, she was mad, and she was blocked by the wind and could not move forward. She blocked the sand with her sleeves until the wind subsided.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any hustle and bustle around. The people who were joking and laughing on the street just now fell to the ground covered in blood.
"Princess, have you forgotten?"
There was no anger on their faces, only deep sadness.
Le Zhi's face turned pale, she shook her head vigorously—
She didn't forget, not for a moment.
But the expressions of the people didn't change. The people of Dali were always kind, they wouldn't blame her, they just closed their eyes in disappointment.
Seeing this, Lezhi's heart aches like a twist. She hurriedly turned around and went to find the figure of the emperor's brother... Finally, she saw Le Jun standing at the end of the street looking at her.
She hurried towards him, and when she was about to reach him, she saw Le Jun suddenly fall to the ground, and blood holes appeared on his body one after another, blood flowing like a stream...
"Brother Huang!" Le Zhi ran over crying, half-kneeling to hug Le Jun's shoulder, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't, shouldn't... "
Don't allow yourself to fall into love.
- No matter how many reasons and excuses you find for yourself, it won't work.
The blood stained the clothes of Tou Lezhi, and the palm of her hand touched the warm blood flowing from Le Jun's body, and her vision was blurred. Blood spilled from the corners of Le Jun's lips, he was speechless, he could only smile and shake his head, his eyes were full of consolation and understanding.
No matter what she did wrong, her imperial brother would never annoy her and blame her.
The temperature in my arms cooled little by little until it was cold...
Le Zhi opened her eyes in the cold, her neck wet with tears. She turned her head and found that the person beside her was long gone... She breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps, Huo Du never came last night? Could it be that he is also just a part of her dream
She stood up in confusion, the scarlet clothes around her neck slipped down and landed on the quilt. The bright red stings her eyes. She stared blankly at the tears that fell on Feiyi, soaking her clothes.
Even so, the faint mint smell has not dissipated.
The stuffiness in her heart was getting heavier and heavier, and she spit out a mouthful of blood while surrounded by the fragrance.
The tears on Feiyi melted blood, and a dazzling red was dizzy.
"Can you find out?" The queen sat on the soft chair and took a sip of tea.
After Mother Qin entered the house, she carefully closed the door. She walked up to the queen and said, "Yes, as expected by the mother, someone is protecting her in secret."
Hearing this, Lin Wanning slightly raised the corners of her lips—
This time, she didn't plan to do anything. She just wanted to make sure of some things through this trip.
"It's just..." Mother Qin showed a look of embarrassment.
"What?" Lin Wanning put down the teacup and asked with a frown.
"It's just that there seems to be more than one person protecting her. The spy said that outside her house, there are many hidden guards from near to far, some of them are so skilled that they can't even detect their figures. It's not the same group of people."
"Who are the bad ones?"
"It should be from Concubine Hui."
Lin Wanning couldn't help laughing, "Mind your own business. You deserve to be from the same clan as Chu Yu, they're both just as stupid."
As for those with good skills, Lin Wanning knew who they were without asking. In Daqi, apart from the dark guards that Huo Changyun had trained, the only people who could avoid her spies were Huo Du's people.
The stronger the smile on his face, the more rewarding this trip was.
For so many years, she couldn't get rid of Huo Du and paved an unimpeded road for Xu'er to the throne.
But now, Huo Du has a weakness.
Heh, he's already lame, adding a weakness - he's a wreck.
The fox spirit that Xu'er brought back has some effect after all.
-Then leave it for now.
Since Huo Du likes her, then let her go on the road with him at that time, it is a gift from her mother to him.
After praying for a total of three days, nothing special happened, and the queen didn't even call her to speak alone. This trip seems to be really just to pray.
But... Except for the day he first arrived, Huo Du never came back for the next few days.
On the contrary, Le Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. The nightmare was haunting her and she didn't know how to face him. She wanted to take advantage of these few days to think about what to do next, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became...
She is going back at noon today, what should she do
"Li Yao." Le Zhi put down the silver chopstick in his hand, looked up at the person beside him, "Come out with me."
Now is the time to clean up and repair. The two masters and servants walked out of Fuxi Nunnery slowly, looked at their position in the middle of the mountain, and walked up the mountain.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was fine.
I was praying in the nunnery a few days ago, but I missed this wonderful scenery. After walking for a while, he met Shen Qingyan face to face.
Because of what happened that night, both of them were obviously taken aback. In just a moment, Le Zhi reacted, and she nodded to Shen Qingyan.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyan bowed slightly and saluted, "I have seen the Crown Princess."
Le Zhi has a plan in mind, but now is not a good time to talk to Shen Qingyan. So she just smiled, then took Li Yao's hand and continued to walk up the mountain.
But after only two steps, the voice behind him sounded—
"Prince Concubine, this Cangyan Mountain is getting hotter and hotter as it goes up. Don't stay on it for too long."
Le Zhi looked back, Shen Qingyan had turned around and walked down the mountain. Looking at her distant back, Le Zhi sighed silently.
After a while, she turned to look at the top of the mountain again, thinking of Shen Qingyan's words, she realized that the temperature around her had indeed risen a lot, and even her palms were slightly sweaty.
This mountain is so strange...
Ordinary mountains are getting colder and colder as they go up, but this mountain is getting hotter and hotter.
"Master, let's go back." Li Yao frowned, apparently feeling a little weird here, she whispered, "Which mountain is so hot in this season..."
Hearing the sound, Lezhi thought it would be okay, but she saw the lush trees on the mountain, which contrasted sharply with the depression below. She suddenly remembered Uncle Yin's book of medicine—
Isn't the lush jungle and hot and humid temperature the best environment for snow bone lotus to grow
She didn't know that she had memorized that page by heart...
"Go up and have a look."
Seeing that Lezhi insisted on going up, Li Yao did not stop him, and walked up the mountain with her. Qiuyu and Xiaoxi quietly followed them not far away, carefully observing whether there was an ambush around them.
When she finally reached the top of the mountain, Le Zhi's cheeks were a little red, she took a few breaths and felt a little stuffy. Sure enough, the temperature at the top of the mountain made her feel like it was back to summer.
She looked at the wild flowers and plants around her and was shocked.
She broke off a twig, pushed aside the long grass under her feet, and rummaged through...
Li Yao finally understood something, is the master looking for something
"What is the master looking for? The slaves will accompany you to find it."
"I'm looking for a flower with petals like snowflakes." Le Zhi continued to lean over and fiddle.
The two people in the distance watched their figures silently, but couldn't come forward—
Le Zhi had told them that they should not show up unless there was danger.
"Master, it's almost time to leave, we have to go back."
Holding Twig's hand for a while, Le Zhi stopped, straightened up and nodded.
—Forget it, she is not a lucky person, how could she find the snow bone lotus that even Uncle Yin couldn’t find
Throwing in the twigs, she prepares to go down the mountain. But at the moment of turning around, a white horn that looked like a snowflake appeared in the jungle to the north. Lezhi's heart moved, and he strode over to check...
"Slow down!" Li Yao quickly followed, but his foot was tripped and twisted a little, so he had to drag his feet to chase after her.
Finally walking to the edge of the white corner, Le Zhi squatted down and carefully pushed aside the grass outside, and finally saw a flower as white as snow—
Exactly as described in medical books.
She also remembered that the flower must be picked carefully so that it does not break the roots. Because the rootless snow bone lotus is useless.
She didn't dare to use a wooden stick to poke it, she stretched out her hand to poke the mud under it... A slight pain came from her fingertips, and Lezhi thought it was a pebble, but she didn't care.
The thin roots soaked in mud were exposed, Le Zhi let out a sigh of relief, took off the snow bone lotus root, took out the handkerchief and gently wrapped it in the wide sleeves.
Not daring to delay any longer, the master and servant walked straight down the mountain.
The carriage started and drove towards the capital.
"Why is it swollen?" Li Yao stared at Le Zhi's index finger, feeling extremely uneasy.
- It's all her fault, if she hadn't twisted her foot and didn't keep up, the master wouldn't have to be bitten by bugs.
"It's just a small matter." Le Zhi smiled, "It's just that I was bitten by a bug, how can I be so delicate."
She didn't care at all about her red and swollen fingers.
Gently peeling off the veil, Le Zhi stared at the snow bone lotus, and the panic and confusion in his heart faded a lot.
- With it, Huo Du's leg can be cured.
She has seen all the kindness he has treated to her these days. She knew better what he wanted.
It's just that she couldn't give him what he wanted.
For love and hate, she is so sober.
Therefore, her heart is very clear-
Lezhi could like Huo Du, but Princess Dali couldn't.
Where in the world is there a law of both worlds
To live up to Le's and Da Li's people, so that he can no longer rely on crutches to walk, this is the best way to think of both.
Because of her responsibilities and feelings, she can never have both.
Closing her eyes, she empties herself in the chaos...
It was not until the carriage stopped and Li Yao called her softly that Le Zhi woke up from her stupor. Her body was a little heavy and her head hurt a little, she thought she might have caught a cold.
After getting off the carriage, Li Yao hurriedly went to ask the doctor.
Jing Xin supported Le Zhi and walked towards the dormitory, but only a few steps after entering the gate, she bumped into Huo Du walking slowly towards her with a cane.
Not seeing him for three days, Le Zhi was stunned for a moment. Then she walked up to Huo Du, took out the item in her sleeve with a smile, and handed it to him—
"Well, I found it."
As soon as the words came out, Le Zhi frowned. Why did her voice become so hoarse
Huo Du looked at the dark red on her snow cheeks, and his heart skipped a beat. Then he lowered his eyes and fell on her hand, only glanced at the snow bone lotus, and his eyes were all fixed on her red and swollen fingers.
Raised his hand and pulled her wrist, put his long fingers on it—
The hot body temperature, the chaotic pulse direction, the red complexion...
Huo Du's heart froze for a moment.
"Who told you to meddle in your business?" He stared at the snow bone lotus she was holding in his hand, feeling his eyes hurt from being stabbed.
Le Zhi was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
"Who told you to meddle in your own business!" Huo Du raised his eyes and repeated it again. It's just that the volume has been raised a lot this time, with anger in his tone and a hint of trembling.
Since the two met, this was the first time that Huo Du had spoken to her in such a fierce tone. Le Zhi lowered his eyes, trying to hold back the uncomfortable feeling of being entangled with heat and cold, and looked at the snow bone lotus in his hands.
The snow-thin petals were blown slightly by the wind...
She suddenly felt like a joke.
