I hurriedly looked back, only to find that he was pulling me with his right hand and holding the blanket with his left hand. Although it was inappropriate, it was not as he said.Can't help but stare at him helplessly.Reach out to help him pinch the blanket so that he can lean on it.He dragged me to sit beside him.Both fell silent. He looked at me with a smile, and said, "It's like a dream! I've been thinking..." I hurriedly interrupted him, and asked without words: "How do you know that I have met Brother Fourteen? You Aren't you worried about him?" He looked at me with a smile and shook his head slightly, but he still said, "You were not surprised when you saw that I was injured, obviously you already knew it, and that can only be told to you by the fourteenth brother. As for worrying It’s not all the prince’s people here. If his people can search, my people can’t get in the way? No one has reported to me, so it means that everything is fine. Besides, since you have met the fourteenth brother, you have no face. Worrying, it can be seen that he must have hidden it."

Some of what he said I had thought of, and some I hadn't.I asked again: "How could it be discovered by the prince?" He frowned this time and thought for a while, then slowly said: "I was careful when I went out, no one should have noticed. Maybe I just happened to be seen. After all, there are not many people who are not familiar with me and the fourteenth brother. It is more likely that the prince has been on guard against the exchange of news between Beijing and China in the past few days and has already sent people to patrol around." I couldn't help asking: " What happened? Why should he be on guard?" The eighth elder brother looked at me with a smile, and said patiently: "Huang Ama forbids me to contact Jingzhong. The prince made this preparation to catch my sore feet. It is time to deal with my crime of resisting orders and not obeying orders. Erze Huang Ama plans to make a big transfer of officials in the near future. According to the fourteenth brother, most of them are not good for us. He naturally does not want me to respond now. Wait for me After returning to Beijing in September, everything is already a foregone conclusion."

After thinking about it, I said, "If your majesty has already made up his mind, what can you do?" He looked at me and said with a smile, "It's a long story! You can do whatever you want! If you really want to know, I am willing to tell you in detail." I pursed my lips, but didn't speak.He smiled and asked, "Where is the fourteenth brother hiding?" I thought about it and laughed, "Guess!" He smiled slightly and said, "Since you asked me to guess, it must be someone I can't easily think of. He thought for a while, then asked: "Is it Minmingege?"

I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and replied listlessly: "Yes!" He said with some surprise: "It's really her? How did you move her? This is not a trivial matter!" It turned out that he was still not sure, and I Then he was a little happy again, tilted his head and said triumphantly: "I won't tell you!" He didn't speak, just looked at me with a gentle smile.I looked at his arm and said with some fear: "Why is the prince so courageous to shoot you with arrows?" He said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's only right and proper to shoot thieves with arrows. I can take this opportunity to get rid of you." Wouldn't we be better?" I felt a chill in my heart.Suddenly remembering the final ending, An Ran's mood when talking and laughing just now was gone, her heart was full of sadness, and her expression began to become alienated.

He noticed the change in me, stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms, I was about to get up, he hugged me tightly, put his head on my head and said in a low voice: "I don't like the way you look just now .It always makes me feel that you are far away from me. What is in your heart? Are you afraid? Don’t be afraid! I have everything! I will not let you suffer any harm. " He was hugging me and whispering, Li Fu ran in all of a sudden, saw us suddenly, knelt on the ground in panic, just kowtowed.The eighth elder brother let go of me, and asked with his usual expression: "What's the matter?" I sat with my head bowed in embarrassment, not daring to look at Li Fu at all.

Li Fu hurriedly replied: "Someone came to report that the crown prince was in the Mongolian camp. He searched inside and out three times, and searched all around, but there was no result. Now he is planning to search the camp here." The eighth elder brother smiled slightly and sighed: "He is really going all out, and he is not afraid of alarming Huang Ama. But it is just in time, help me to be a witness." But I was shocked, looking at his arm and thinking that this is not easy to hide, even if I can hide it tonight, I can’t hide it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. How can it be possible to hide the bleeding from the wound when I get on horseback?What excuse do you have for not riding and not hunting?

The eighth elder brother told Li Fu: "Make a cup of hot tea! It must be boiling hot!" Li Fu responded and left quickly.I was still thinking about it, Eighth Brother sat up straight and said, "Help me take off the clothes." I responded, got up and handed the clothes to him, he stood up and wanted to wear them himself.I didn't care about the embarrassment, and while my face was burning, I helped him get dressed.He stood quietly and let me help him put on his clothes, button them, and turn up his collar. Finally, I checked everything carefully and found that everything was in order and there was no flaw.She nodded to him, indicating that there was no problem.

He looked at me, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked my face. Just as he was about to speak, Li Fu said from outside the screen: "Master! The tea is ready!" He withdrew his hand and whispered to me: "Let's go back first!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for my reply, he ordered: "Let Baozhu come in!" As he went to the outer room, I followed.He wanted to leave, but he was a little worried about how he would deal with the prince when he came.He hesitated for a while. He sat down at the table, took the book casually, glanced at me, saw that I was standing still, he didn't make a sound, picked up the tea and tested the temperature, and said: "It's not hot enough! I mean boiling hot .” Li Fu’s face tightened, and he hurriedly picked up the cup and went out.I began to feel that something was wrong, and looked at the eighth brother suspiciously.

The eighth elder brother looked at Baozhu with a smile and said, "I'm going to wrong you this time! Listen up!" Baozhu hurriedly knelt on the ground, and he said, "When the prince comes in later, don't you take the tea It fell on my right arm. It must burn me. As for how to do it naturally and seamlessly, you can figure it out yourself!" Bao Zhu was stunned.The eighth elder brother asked solemnly: "Do you understand?" Baozhu nodded quickly, and replied: "I understand!" The eighth elder brother laughed: "Go down!" I was startled, a whole cup of hot tea?But I couldn't think of a better way.I just looked at him with my eyes. He didn't look at me at this moment, but looked at the book with a peaceful expression.I bit my lip, turned around and left the tent.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the prince led four people to meet him. Although there were people searching around, it was very quiet.I thought to myself, it seems that he just had doubts in his heart, and he was not sure that the person he saw was Fourteen, and he didn't dare to make a big deal without real evidence.Since we can't search around with great fanfare, we can only come to test the eighth prince.I hurriedly knelt down to pay my respects. He frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "The girl is here! But your sister is the eighth younger brother Fujin, and she is indeed closer than others!" I smiled and replied: "Before entering the palace, she used to be in the eighth master's mansion. I've lived here for more than half a year, and I know that Ba Ye's plaster for bruises is good, so I came here to ask for some plaster." While thinking, since you said so, I don't need to get rid of it, anyway, the relationship has already been there, so I can simply be generous Fang booth for you to see.He stretched out his hand to show him.When he saw the bruises on my hands, he frowned, and asked the reason with concern. I simply said, "I strangled it while riding a horse in the afternoon!" He said, "I also have some good bruise medicine over there. Send someone to take the girl there later." How can someone refuse the crown prince's grace?I quickly bent down to thank you.He asked again: "How long has the girl been here?" I smiled and replied: "Because I chatted with Ba Ye for a while, and I have worked hard for a while!"

After hearing this, he pondered and wanted to talk, but the eighth elder brother had already come out to greet him, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the second brother is coming, but the younger brother is late to pick up the driver!" The crown prince smiled and asked him to get up.While scrutinizing his expression inadvertently, he said: "I also came to your place on a whim, so I don't need to be so polite." The eighth elder brother turned sideways and respectfully invited the prince to enter the tent. When he followed up, his eyes swept away from my face, and he paused slightly. His steps did not slow down, his expression remained unchanged, and his smile continued to enter the tent. I took two steps and saw Baozhu hastily entering the tent with two cups of tea, so I couldn't help but slow down.Not too long ago, I heard a sound of 'clang', the sound of a glass falling to the ground, followed by the voice of a servant calling 'Baye' in panic, Bao Zhu's voice of 'You should die', the voice of the crown prince yelling at the servant, and the voice of ordering the imperial doctor.My heart was throbbing tightly, I hurriedly walked a few steps, and hid behind the tent, I saw someone hurried out of the tent to call for the imperial doctor, Bao Zhu was dragged out, kneeling outside the tent with his head bowed.It seems that dozens of boards are inevitable anyway.Just as he was thinking, Li Fu had ordered two people to gag Baozhu, put him on the torture bench, and started fighting.One stroke after another, the blood soon oozes out, bright red. I closed my eyes tightly, took two deep breaths, turned my head and ran back to my tent quickly.I don't want to participate in their games anymore, I don't want to see so much blood.My life is already very unhappy, don't let blood make it more miserable! Why is it so dark?There was not a single star in the sky, only the sound of the wind blowing around, boundless pressure wrapped me tightly, and I was afraid, when I suddenly saw a faint light in front of me, and before I had time to think about it, I ran towards the light.I staggered all the way, but I didn't care about it, I just wanted to quickly grasp the only light source and warmth in the darkness. When I got closer, I realized that it was Eighth Prince walking slowly with a lantern in his hand, wearing a bamboo green robe, dancing with the wind.Seeing that it was me, he stopped and smiled softly at me.Seeing his gentle face and modest smile, my fear, panic, and bewilderment dissipated all of a sudden.Feeling at ease, he shouted joyfully: "Ba Ye!" Just as he was about to walk over, suddenly an arrow flew over and hit the lantern. A bit sad and desperate, staring at me with infinite sorrow, slowly disappearing into the darkness. I just felt heart-piercing pain, yelled "Don't!", sat up suddenly, and Yutan who was sleeping outside the screen rushed in: "Sister! Did you have a nightmare?" My heart kept trembling , my body was trembling non-stop, Yutan hugged me and called softly: "Sister! Sister!" That smile!That look!I hugged her violently, I was so cold!Yutan didn't ask any more questions, just hugged me back quietly. After a while, I slowly recovered and said to Yutan, "It's okay! You go to sleep!" Yutan asked softly, "How about I sleep with my sister?" I shook my head at her, Lie down.She covered me with the quilt and quietly retreated out. I opened my eyes wide in the dark, and dared not close them again.The stern and desperate smile, the infinitely sad eyes, desperately trying to dispel this picture, but it became clearer, I shrank into a ball under the quilt.Thoughts were churning, when we met for the first time in my sister’s room, he talked and laughed gracefully; his cold voice when he forced me to agree in the fluttering autumn leaves; in the white snow all over the sky, he was dressed in a black cloak, and he was silent when he walked slowly with me; When holding hands, let me promise him to wear a bracelet, eyes full of sadness and hope; a warm smile under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree; a lottery paper exuding the fragrance of lilies... Although Fourteen did not elaborate on what eighth elder brother did for me in secret, I am not a fool. When I first entered the palace, I taught my old mother to be tolerant to me, and the eunuchs and maids in charge did not reveal it to me. How could I not notice the traces of care?I'm afraid there are still many that I don't know. If I had a choice, I would rather land in the fourth elder brother's mansion; because I knew the result earlier, I always hoped that I could alienate myself. People are selfish, and it is impossible for me to join in without hesitation when I know the outcome.But for four years, little by little, like a bracelet on my wrist, has long been with me and become a part of my life.Even if I cast a wall of copper and iron for myself, I can't stand it for a long time, and water drops and stones wear it away. After a sleepless night, she heard the sound of jade sandalwood outside and knew that she had woken up.I have made up my mind and lifted the quilt.Seeing me, Yutan looked shocked and said, "Sister! Why did you lose so much weight overnight!" I looked at myself in the mirror, and said with a faint smile, "Probably because I didn't sleep well, and my face was a little haggard, which made me feel so tired." Life is just an illusion!" Carefully traced the black eyebrows, applied the rouge evenly, and put on the earrings, her face was extremely pale that even the rouge could not cover up, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright, and the black pupils were like two small flames burning in them .She smiled charmingly at the face in the mirror, and murmured, "Whether history can be changed depends on you!"
