Qingyun didn't speak, just knelt down halfway, held up one of her jade feet, brushed her fingers over the red and swollen part, and asked:
"Are you sprained?"
The queen kicked him lightly, drew back her foot, and said:
"Don't worry about it."
Qingyun stretched his hand into his bosom, but it was empty, as if recalling something, he said:
"Sorry, no medicine."
The two of them had such a long-term conversation. Only then did Alaiya realize it, and after groping around for a while, she found a small box of herbs, stepped forward and said:
"I made it myself according to the herbal medicine you made before. It should work."
Qingyun took the box from her hand, opened it, sniffed it, and said:
"good."
He leaned down again and carefully helped the queen apply herbal medicine on her ankles. This time the queen did not refuse, her face was a little red, trying to find something to talk about. But it was obviously not suitable to say anything between Qingyun and Qingyun, so he turned to Alaya, blinked, and asked with some jealousy:
"Who are you… ?"
Alaya replied:
"The guard of Master Li De, the owner of Yuxi City. He is also a half-disciple of Mr. Qingyun. According to the order of the young master, he will follow Mr. Qingyun for the time being."
The queen didn't pay attention to the latter part, and was slightly relieved when she heard the first half. asked again:
"What do you make herbs for?"
Alaya replied truthfully:
"The young master's injury is still not healed. And if you learn it, the young master can use it next time you get injured."
"You are really the young master who never leaves you in three words."
The queen smiled lightly, and suddenly asked:
"You like your young master, right?"
Alaya raised her head and looked at the queen blankly. The queen showed a meaningful smile and said softly:
"I remembered. The young master of your family is the one who was lucky enough to win the duel with other city lords. I can't really recognize who it is, but I heard from the ladies in private that he was I can let you play, and I can sit back and relax, but I have to keep you safe after fighting all over the injury. Is that right?"
Alaya replied:
"The young master is kind."
The Queen shook her head and said:
"It's not kind! There are a lot of kind people in this world, and everyone has a heart of compassion. But it's not very common for people who are willing to take their own lives to make fun of. Final abandonment, in normal times, you are full of love words, once you encounter any storms, you will fly away separately... You, don’t even think about it, if you don’t really like it, would your young master do this for a maid of yours? That’s not it Kindness is love."
Alaya felt her heart beating suddenly.
But in just two breaths, she returned to calm, and replied lightly:
"It doesn't matter who the young master likes, as long as I can be with the young master."
The queen looked at her with a smile.
For some reason, Alaya looked away guiltily.
Suddenly the queen said:
"When you are young, don't feel inferior. If you like someone, you can show your love boldly. It doesn't matter if you can't catch up. People, the best years are only a few years, no matter how absurd it is. Don't want to be alone one day. Lying on the bed desertedly, and then regretting the past... You can actually be more greedy. If you don't expect, you won't be disappointed, but if you don't expect, where will you find the courage to take that crucial step?"
Alayah listened in silence, without answering.
Qingyun helped her apply the medicine, and stretched out her hand. The queen put her hand on his, supported his hand and stood up, quietly standing beside him. Alaya really wanted to ask something, but she lowered her head when the words came to her lips, not daring to meet the Queen's eyes, nor did she dare to ask, for fear that she might touch something that shouldn't be touched.
She only thought that the queen was very pretty. Although she was past her prime, she still smiled like a girl; there were faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but they were only a little bit, adding a mature and charming charm to it. From Alayah's point of view, no one would object to saying that she was still in her "best years."
The queen patted Alaya's shoulder lightly, stroked the hairpin of her bun with her hand, and suddenly smiled.
Alaiya touched the hairpin on her head strangely, it was given to her by the young master when she went to the party.
"If young people have the opportunity to be together, they must be together. Don't think about all kinds of external factors, don't worry about possible storms in the future. Love itself is the purest thing in the world, don't think so much, Let’s walk hand in hand together.”
Alayah didn't answer.
Qingyun said:
"I don't think that kid Lide is a piece of wood. Maybe he has already been concerned about this kind of thing, so we don't need to worry about it."
The queen sniffed, a little sad but still said with a smile:
"I'm getting old! I'm going to worry about other people's love stories. But it's okay, let's go. Alayah, follow me."
Qingyun supported the queen and walked towards the silver-gray dragon.
Alaya couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"It's time to close the curtain."
The queen said softly to Qingyun:
"When the lord of Cangzhou raised his troops, the treaty signed with you also came to an end today. I'm sorry about that incident."
Alaiya blinked, and suddenly remembered that the young master once held a book, frowned and said to himself:
- "It shouldn't be."
- "Master, what's the matter?"
—"Look at this record. That year when the Cangzhou lord raised his troops, the white clothes of the previous generation could not defend the imperial city. Thanks to the great swordsman from the capital who went deep into the enemy's rear and killed the Cangzhou lord by surprise, he won the war. But don't you think it's strange? That great swordsman is a Zen sword master."
—"Master, is there anything strange about Zen Sword?"
——"Of course there is. Zen sword cultivates the great way of the world and the best principles in the world. This kind of swordsmanship can be used to subjugate demons and demons, and can be used to fight for justice. But it should not appear on the battlefield, it should not be used It's right to kill people. I don't know why he did this, but he will be punished for doing so. Maybe he has already fallen in the realm, but he still has the name of a great swordsman .”
In fact, Lide was not the only one who had doubts like this.
That year Qingyun was able to kill the lord of Cangzhou by surprise because the other party didn't consider that he would do so at all. Just ask, who would have thought that a guy who was determined to save the world with a sword in his hand would point his sword at his compatriots and start an unreasonable killing
And the strange thing is that since then, Qingyun has never left the capital.
Everyone is guessing, but no one has ever guessed the real answer.
Because that night, only Qingyun, the king and the queen knew about the agreement that Qingyun and the king secretly signed. No one will spread it, and no one dares to spread it. When it is mentioned now, it is just a sentence that has been scribbled.
When she got close to the dragon, Alaiya clearly felt the terrifying sense of oppression, and the hand holding the sword was constantly trembling.
But Qingyun and the queen looked as usual.
Qingyun lowered his hands and said in a hoarse voice:
"You know I never blamed you, so why bother to say I'm sorry."
