The faces of the nuns and maids serving around changed slightly, but soon everyone calmed down, but looked at her with more respectful eyes, Bo Ruoyou's heart jumped when she heard it, and she was looking at Huo Weilou suspiciously, but the eldest princess showed joy , "Look, I didn't remember wrongly! Since that's the case, you should call my mother, come and accompany me to paint—"
She pulled Bo Ruoyou, and the moment they touched, Bo Ruoyou looked at her hands. Her hands were well maintained, as delicate as porcelain, but she found that there were a few bumps on her palms. Walking to the desk and letting go, Bo Ruoyou saw several scars on her hands, her heart tightened slightly, looking at the smiling face in front of her, her heart felt a little heavy.
The eldest princess saw that her condition was improving like a normal person, but she was living in the illusion that everyone woven for her. At this time, she also entered this illusion. She couldn't help raising her heart, for fear that she would break the illusion by saying something wrong.
At this time, she heard the eldest princess laughing and saying: "Can you paint?"
The room is full of picture scrolls, most of which are ink paintings with sharp brushstrokes and magnificent patterns. It can be seen that Zhao Lingxiao loves this way very much, and he has a very high temperament, a broad mind, and is good at exquisite techniques. Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I can't draw well. …”
"It's okay, I'll teach you, just watch me draw—"
After she walked around to the desk, she raised her hand to write, and Bo Ruoyou looked along the tip of her pen, her complexion changed instantly.
The drawing paper was only about ten inches in size, but at this moment, a crimson woven gold embroidered phoenix pattern swaddle was drawn on it. Inside the swaddle was a naive baby, who looked no more than one year old, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, it looked like a girl.
She instantly understood that this was the daughter of the eldest princess who died, and Huo Weilou's biological sister.
However, what surprised Bo Ruoyou even more was the brushwork. Her lines were soft and freehand, and her colors were bright and bold, completely different from the ink landscape paintings hanging around her. Her fingertips trembled slightly, feeling bewildered, but Huo Weilou Standing behind him, he also saw the paintings on the desk, but he was not surprised.
The eldest princess was immersed in painting, one moment she said she wanted to teach Bo Ruoyou, but the next moment she forgot, but she had a gentle smile on her face, and she was relaxed and at ease. She was a little naive, Huo Weilou pulled her back two steps.
"She can't remember things clearly, and she has a lot of forgetfulness. This place used to be her father's painting pavilion. Later, when she got better, she took this place as her own. When she saw her father's things, she didn't have to worry about it." I mean, only at this time can I appear in front of her eyes, otherwise, I have to hide far away so that she can't see her, she probably remembers that my sister is still alive."
People suffering from madness seem to be insane, but they also have their own set of cognition and rules. However, the eldest princess has been ill for a long time and is very sick. Now it is not easy to maintain the surface peace.
Bo Ruoyou only felt worried, and thought that the improvement that Eunuch Fu said meant that she had regained her composure, "If you can feel relaxed and happy like this, that would be great, as long as the people around you take care of you."
Living in an upside-down world all her life, as long as she doesn't show her trace and has someone to serve her, it's better for her than remembering all the disasters, or being sober. Bo Ruoyou looked at the eldest princess, especially feeling sorry for her.
The eldest princess really painted alone, Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou waited for a long time, and only waited for her to finish the last stroke, and sighed a little tiredly, before Huo Weilou said: "Mother, I finally came back once, let me Let's have dinner with you."
"Okay, okay, you're going back to the northern border again." She looked sad, looking at Huo Weilou with distress, and no one corrected her this time.
Summer nights are also quite hot, dinner is placed in the side hall of the water pavilion, the windows on both sides are wide open, and the cool breeze with the fragrance of lotus in the pond slowly enters. I feel that such a scene is very good.
She tried her best to cooperate with the eldest princess in talking and laughing, and Huo Weilou would help her if she didn't know how to answer. The deep one, a group of people sang a play with her, no one dared to wake her up.
Bo Ruoyou originally thought that as long as the dinner was finished smoothly, the eldest princess would be able to continue singing the scene after they left without being disturbed by strangers. The princess woke up.
It was a lotus leaf and lotus seed soup, which was a soup snack at the end of the meal. Bo Ruoyou liked the sweet aroma, and she felt that the eldest princess must also like this sweet taste, but just as soon as the soup was put down, In an instant, the gentle smile on the eldest princess's face disappeared instantly, she frowned a few times, her pale face twitched strangely, then slowly got up, just when Huo Weilou realized something was wrong, she raised her hand He smashed the soup cup on the ground!
The tiles cracked and shattered, the hot soup splashed everywhere, she seemed to be a different person with a stern expression on her face, she turned around again, and saw Huo Weilou at a glance, the heart-pounding hatred burst out from the bottom of her eyes, she stared at him firmly Suddenly, she screamed angrily, and she swung the tea cups and chopsticks on the ground by her, and she backed away as if she hated a monster!
Bo Ruoyou held her breath in shock.
How gentle and elegant she was just a moment ago, how hysterical she is now, and she stepped back step by step, stepping on the broken porcelain soup, and she was about to fall into the porcelain pieces all over the floor—
Huo Weilou was at her side, he quickly stepped forward to hold her arm, and shouted outside: "Come here—"
This was a rare and happy scene, even Eunuch Fu was guarding the door, and when they heard the movement, everyone rushed in, but at this moment Bo Ruoyou exclaimed, "Master, be careful—"
Huo Weilou turned his head and a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. He grabbed the eldest princess' arm, but in order to struggle, the eldest princess pulled out the silver hairpin from the bun with her free hand, and stabbed at his arm with all her strength. down!
Huo Weilou had a chance to hide, but he didn't dodge, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp silver hairpin pierced into his flesh, blood immediately overflowed, he didn't let go, he didn't let go until Eunuch Fu and the nuns grabbed the eldest princess. Back off.
The eldest princess stared at him, her hatred landed on Huo Weilou like a cold arrow, wishing to devour his flesh and blood, the shrill cry echoed in the room, Huo Weilou turned around and walked out of the room quickly.
Bo Ruoyou stood stiffly, she watched the bloody hairpin slip out of the eldest princess's hand, and the moment she fell to the ground, she felt a pain in her arm, and she hurriedly chased it out.
After going out the door, the eldest princess's screams subsided. Bo Ruoyou walked forward along the corridor. After turning a corner, he saw Huo Weilou standing under the wind lamp. He stood upright and was instructing the servants of the Hou Mansion: "Go call Ming Guilan—"
The attendant left in response, the warm yellow light fell on his face, but it couldn't dispel the chill in his eyes, and a smear of blood flowed from his wrist, dripping on the wooden boards in the corridor under his feet.
"Lord Hou—"
Bo Ruoyou stepped forward quickly, lifted his sleeve robe to look at the injury, the hairpin pierced his forearm, and because of the great force, a bloody hole was pierced, Bo Ruoyou's heart twitched, but he didn't know what to do. Where can I find something to stop the bleeding, and the noise in the water pavilion has not stopped, obviously the eldest princess has not been appeased yet.
She had no choice but to take out a handkerchief from her sleeve first, and then neatly tied up the wound. Huo Weilou looked at her anxious look, and his voice softened, "It's okay, it's just a small injury, are you scared?"
Bo Ruoyou shook her head, "Okay, why is it suddenly wrong?"
Huo Weilou sighed, "There is no certainty about her illness. She has been to the water pavilion a lot in the past few days, so I thought it would last a lot longer."
While talking, the two nuns carried the eldest princess out together. Eunuch Fu walked in front and quickly walked up to him, "How is the injury of Lord Hou? Do you want to go back to the Hou's mansion first? The old slave stays and waits for the settlement to be settled." , I’ll go back and tell you.”
Hearing the sound of footsteps also coming this way, Huo Weilou brought Bo Ruoyou towards the gate of the mansion, for fear of irritating the eldest princess again.
After walking a little further, Huo Weilou just turned around, and saw more than a dozen servants going all the way to the main courtyard, and soon their figures disappeared behind the tower, the silver moon was in the sky, and the clear light streamed over Huo Weilou's shoulders, as cold as water.
Huo Weilou pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, are we going back to the Hou Mansion?"
Huo Weilou nodded, and led her out. He originally grew up in the eldest princess's mansion, but now because of his mother's disgust when she was ill, he seemed like an outsider. Thinking of the disgusted expression of the eldest princess just now, Bo Ruoyou She also didn't want him to stay here for a long time, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and held Huo Weilou's hand.
Huo Weilou looked at her sideways, grabbed her back, went out and got into the carriage.
The carriage was cramped, and the blood on Huo Weilou's arm hadn't stopped, it had soaked through the white kerchief. Bo Ruoyou knew that this injury was nothing to him, but seeing him injured and bleeding for the first time made her heart ache so badly. Before leaving, the appearance of the eldest princess also felt depressed in the bottom of her heart. The hysterical madness was quite self-inflicted, and the hatred in her eyes was deep-rooted. If she was immersed in such bitterness and despair all day long, it would really be like hell Torture is always exhausted until the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.
She looked at his wound through the light from the gap in the curtain, and saw more and more blood was leaking from the silk handkerchief, and the anxious expression on her face became more and more serious. Huo Weilou looked at her like this, and couldn't help raising her hand to caress her The top of her hair, "No problem."
Bo Ruoyou looked up at him, "It must be very painful."
Huo Weilou twitched the corners of his lips, "I used to have injuries that were a hundred times worse than this one, so it's really nothing."
Bo Ruoyou felt a lump in his throat, and he couldn't be comforted by his words. Thinking of the fact that swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, and he has the habit of sleeping with a knife on his head when he is out, he has experienced so many moments of life and death, and he feels heavy in his heart of.
When she didn't speak, Huo Weilou took her into his arms with his uninjured hand, "Have I ever lied to you? My mother, she... is like this, and I don't know when this disease will be cured. Anyone may judge me She is the only one who does not know how to marry."
Bo Ruoyou's nose felt sore when she heard this, and she couldn't help but leaned over and hugged him.
