You Yuji had other thoughts in mind, but she was too weak to even say a word. She stared at Si Que with her eyes slightly wide open, a hint of feigned anger between her usually gentle features. She stared at Si Que for a long time, then uttered one word lazily -
"cold."
Sure enough, Si Que immediately started helping her put on her clothes.
His hands and mouth were not idle. While helping You Yuji put on her clothes, he said leisurely, "It's just a question. Whether you want to or not, yes or no, there is only one answer."
He lifted You Yuji's legs, slowly moved his palms down her legs, grasped her ankles, and put her feet into her trouser legs. He gradually lifted her tight-fitting hakama up to her knees.
He paused and continued, "But I only want to hear the answer I like."
You Yuji stretched out her hand to cover it, but Si Que glanced at her, slapped her hand away, and said in a bad tone: "Why are you covering it? It's not like you haven't seen it before."
You Yuji sighed softly, she leaned over softly, rested her head on Si Que's shoulder, and whispered: "This is a busy city..."
"So what?" Si Que asked back.
You Yuji whispered again: "You know I'm not feeling well!"
"Sister, don't let your imagination run wild. I don't want to be intimate with you in the street." He pulled the waist of You Yuji's small hakama and tugged slowly.
You Yuji bit her lip, her face red as she glared at him angrily. He actually blamed her for having wild thoughts? If it wasn't for the pain in her lower back, she would have really been fooled by his serious look at the moment!
A naughty kid from somewhere threw a ball in his hand, which hit the wall of the carriage. The sound of the ball hitting the wall scared You Yuji, and she trembled and subconsciously shrank into Si Que's arms.
Then, the child's mother came over, knocked on the car wall, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry that my child was naughty!"
The woman's voice almost brushed You Yuzhi's ears. Her face turned red. Even though she buried her face in Si Que's arms, she still wanted to continue hiding. Her strengthless hands waved around to pull at the small hakama that rested on her knees.
She failed the first time, and Si Que's hand quickly came over, holding her hand and putting the small hakama on her obediently. Then Si Que picked up You Yuji's other clothes and put them on her one by one.
You Yuji lowered her head and remained silent.
Si Que put the bright red cloak on You Yuji and fastened the buckle on the chest. He lowered his head, rested his forehead on You Yuji's eyebrows, and asked, "Sister, are you unhappy? Did your brother make you unhappy just because he found you?"
You Yuji knew clearly that he was speaking like this on purpose, but she still sighed helplessly and said softly, "I'm not angry. I'm already very happy to see you."
She slowly raised her eyelashes and looked at the satisfied smile on Si Que's face.
The corners of You Yuji's lips couldn't help but curl up.
Smiles are indeed contagious.
Si Que raised his voice and asked Tingyun, who was sitting in the front, to drive to Lianhua Street. The night market during the Lantern Festival was extremely lively, and there were people everywhere. Even though Tingyun found a small road, he had to drive slowly to avoid hurting passers-by. It took a long time to reach Lianhua Street after stopping and starting along the way.
You Yuzhi sighed. If she was in good health, she could ride a horse with Si Que. Even walking would be faster than the jammed carriages.
She grasped Si Que's collar, shook it gently, frowned and asked, "My capable brother really won't help me get rid of the poison?"
She grabbed the hand on his collar and shook it again.
Si Que almost agreed to it when he heard the word "brother". He was silent for a moment before he said, "We've got an antidote, but it will take some time to develop. It doesn't matter if you don't take the antidote, the poison will slowly wear off."
You Yuji didn't feel relaxed at all when she heard Si Que's words. She kept thinking about Si Que's words that he would personally take care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
This is not okay. This is absolutely not okay.
She lowered her eyes, and snuggled into Si Que's chest again, poking his chest gently with her fingers, and whispered softly, "Then you have to develop it quickly."
Si Que lowered his eyes and glanced at her. If it weren't for the fact that her body couldn't bear it at the moment, he really wanted to let this vixen experience the consequences of seducing men by acting coquettishly.
After a while, Tingyun came outside to report that they had arrived at Lianhua Street.
Although there are fewer pedestrians on Lianhua Street, it is still bustling.
You Yuji didn't have the strength to walk, so Si Que pushed open the window on her side, lifted the curtains, and looked out the window with her, searching each stall one by one.
Children holding candied haws and night lights were chasing each other and laughing in the streets.
Before she found the Lantern Festival stall in her memory, You Yuji's eyes were already drawn to the children playing there. As she watched the children playing and laughing, her eyes became even more gentle.
A couple passed by the carriage, and the woman said worriedly, "After what happened in the palace today, you should go home early!"
The man next to him smiled and said, "What does it have to do with ordinary people like us? It's a big festival, let the children have fun."
You Yuji listened to the conversation between the couple passing by and couldn't help but think more -
She didn't ask Si Que how he took her out of the palace because she couldn't care for the moment, she was tired and just wanted to snuggle up to him for a while. Si Que must have done something to take her out of the palace, right
You Yuji couldn't help but think of the last time when Si Que burned down His Majesty's bedroom. The huge fire and the sky full of blue smoke made everyone attending the banquet look shocked.
At that time, she didn't know Si Que was the owner of the Poison Tower. At that time, she was still thinking that the owner of the Poison Tower was very powerful.
I wonder what earth-shattering thing he has done this time.
"Is it that one?" Si Que said.
You Yuji looked in the direction Si Que pointed, and joy immediately appeared in her eyes. She said hurriedly, "Yes, it's that old man!"
It was just a casual thought, and You Yuji didn't expect to find that stall on this day this year.
The carriage stopped by the roadside, Si Que got off first, and then helped You Yuji down. You Yuji had no strength, so she walked very slowly, leaning on Si Que for most of her weight. It took her a while to get to the stall.
It was getting late, and the old man saw that there was not much business, so he was about to close the stall. He saw You Yuji and Si Que coming over from afar, and immediately smiled lovingly and said, "There is only one bowl left!"
You Yuji was helped by Si Que to sit down at the table and smiled gently: "It seems that we are lucky."
The old man put all the Yuanxiao in the pot into a large bowl and brought it to the table.
You Yuji immediately picked up the spoon and carefully put a big round dumpling into her mouth. The dumpling from this shop was also a circle bigger than the ones in other shops, filling her small mouth. You Yuji rubbed her soft red lips lightly, savoring the steaming sweet dumpling. The familiar taste made her eyes bend, and because of the dumpling, her whole heart felt satisfied.
"Delicious!" You Yuji praised with a smile.
The old man sitting not far away heard the praise and smiled with his eyes narrowed into a loving slit.
"You try it too." You Yuzhi looked at Si Que with a smile and said softly.
Si Que ate one as he was told and said, "Well, it's not bad."
You Yuji smiled happily and continued to serve Yuanxiao, but Si Que raised his hand to hold her wrist. He took away the small spoon in You Yuji's hand, scooped a Yuanxiao and handed it to You Yuji's lips, feeding her.
The night breeze is gentle, carrying the fiery scent of fireworks.
A bowl of red dates and honey water was suddenly placed on the table.
You Yuji looked at the stall owner in surprise. How could she not remember that this shop still sold this? The old man smiled at her lovingly and turned to pack up his things.
Yuanxiao is something that is difficult to digest. Now it was night time, and even though You Yuji was greedy, she couldn't eat any more after eating several.
She looked at the big bowl of Yuanxiao on the table and felt sorry for it. She couldn't help but sighed: "I can't eat the Yuanxiao if I take it back..."
"You said the same thing last year." The old man smiled and said, "I will still set up a stall here next year, and come back to eat Yuanxiao next year!"
You Yuji's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect the old man still remembered her. She smiled and said, "Okay, we'll come again next year."
The old man smiled and waved his hand, looking at the two people snuggling together, and said from behind: "Bring the kids to eat together next year!"
You Yuji was startled, and looked at Si Que, only then she found that Si Que had changed into a snow-colored men's robe. Did the stall owner think she and Si Que were a young couple? She was really confused, and she didn't notice when Si Que changed his clothes. Was it when he went to buy her new clothes? It was clear that he was still dressed as a woman in the East Palace.
You Yuji withdrew his gaze, stopped, raised his chin and looked up at the starry sky.
She also hoped that the star that was destined for her would come into her belly as soon as possible and come with her next year.
You Yuji retracted her gaze and looked sideways at Si Que: "Let's go."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body was suspended in the air and was picked up by Si Que.
Obviously, Si Que was worried that she would have trouble walking.
Occasionally, passers-by looked over, and their inquiring gazes turned into friendly smiles.
After You Yuji was carried to the carriage by Si Que, she immediately felt exhausted. Si Que saw it and did not put her on the bench beside her. Instead, he held her in his arms and let her fall asleep in his arms.
"I'm not sleepy..."
Less than a quarter of an hour after You Yuji finished speaking, she fell asleep in Si Que's arms with a long breath. She slept very soundly, and when the carriage stopped, Si Que carried her out of the carriage and walked into the courtyard. It was not until he put her on the couch that You Yuji frowned slightly.
Suddenly she left the embrace that she had been leaning on for most of the night. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Si Que standing beside her. She closed her eyes again.
"Have a good sleep, Yuanyuan."
Si Que's voice came to my ears.
Soon, You Yuzhi fell into a complete sleep.
Si Que stood beside the bed, pursed his lips and stared at You Yuzhi for a long time before turning around and walking out, gently closing the door.
He went downstairs and sat alone in the huge library.
He sat motionless, with no expression on his face, quietly behind the large desk.
The sticky smell of books spread throughout the library.
Si Lang arrived at the courtyard half an hour later. With a gentle smile on his face, he stepped into the study and called out with a smile, "Brother."
Si Que lowered his eyes and ate slowly. His naturally aloof and aloof face was expressionless, yet it was already cold.
Si Lang put one hand behind his back and walked slowly towards Si Que.
"I've heard about the prince's situation." He sighed softly, "It's good enough if he's rescued."
Si Que was still eating and ignored Si Lang.
"Power is a good thing. He just relied on his status as the crown prince." Si Lang had walked to the desk. He squinted his eyes and looked at his twin brother. "A Que, are you really unwilling to help your brother? How can we, the people of Si, be willing to become prisoners of the Chen family?"
Si Que finally raised his head.
Si Lang stared at his brother's expression carefully, not wanting to miss any subtle changes in his expression. He clearly saw Si Que's expressionless face slowly reveal a brilliant and weird smile.
He said, "Okay, I'll help my brother."
Si Que suddenly agreed, which surprised Si Lang. He lowered his eyes and noticed what Si Que was eating.
It was a bag of roasted chestnuts, the same bag that You Yuzhi bought on the day she was kidnapped.
It has gone bad after being left out for many days.
Si Lang stared at the bright smile on his brother's face, which was exactly the same as his own, and felt a chill down his spine.
"Brother is right." Si Que picked up a chestnut and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.
Power is a good thing.
The author has something to say: Sister: Don’t kiss me with your mouth that’s used to eating rotten chestnuts! ! ! [Going crazy]! ! ! !
