Chapter 3 Chapter Three: A One-Year Covenant

Perhaps it was the affection in Liu Fuling's flute, or perhaps it was Yunge's own will to survive, Yunge's condition gradually eased, and the fever subsided. The moment Yun Ge opened her eyes, she vaguely felt that someone was leaning over to look at her. In a trance, she felt heartache and body pain at the same time, and subconsciously called out: "Jue, I'm in so much pain!" You can complain to him about any grievance or unhappiness. As soon as the words came out, she immediately remembered that Meng Jue was no longer her Meng Jue, and her heart twitched fiercely. After seeing the person in front of her clearly, Yun Ge felt as if struck by lightning, and felt that her world was completely in turmoil for a moment.

Liu Fuling pretended not to hear the previous words, and said softly: "Be patient, I have asked the doctor to prescribe analgesics, and when the effect of the medicine wears off, it will be better." Yun Ge stared blankly at him, and Liu Fu Ling also looked at her. There are too many things hidden in his darkness, she can read them all with just a light poke, but she can't. Her gaze suddenly moved away, then slowly moved down to look at his waist. Without the jade pendant, she felt relieved. Liu Fuling took the jade pendant from Yu An's hand and handed it to her: "I rarely wear it."

She stared at Yupei blankly, with horror, fear, and despair in her eyes. Liu Fuling has been waiting quietly. After a long time, Yun Ge turned his head, looked at the corner of the room, and said very coldly and politely: "I've never met before, thank you for saving my life, my lord." The jade pendant in Liu Fuling's hand fell to the ground with a crisp "bang". There was only deathly darkness in his eyes. Her body trembled slightly. Golden sunlight poured in from the window, shining on the two people in front of the couch. The gentle warmth outlines the figures of men and women.

Inside the house, there is only silence that would suffocate even the warm sunlight. Her eyes were still fixed on the corner of the wall, and she said very calmly: "If you have nothing to do, young master, can you let the slave family rest?" He stood up and said very calmly: "The girl just woke up from a serious injury and needs a good rest, so I won't bother you. Don't take anything seriously, the most important thing is to take good care of your body." Zuo bowed and left the house . She only felt empty in her heart, and her mind was blank. It seemed that if she took a small step forward, she would fall off a cliff that was beyond redemption. She could only step back desperately, telling herself over and over again that her brother Ling was Brother Liu, and he was married to sister Xu.

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not wrong! Absolutely can't go wrong! Yun Ge couldn't move yet, in order to relieve the pain, he added a lot of sedative medicine to the medicine stone, so he was groggy every day, woke up for a while, and slept for most of the day. When he woke up, he didn't speak, and he was just in a daze. Yu An asked Yun Ge what she wanted and what she wanted to eat, but she didn't seem to hear, she refused to say a word, and she didn't show any expression. If he didn't know that Yun Ge could speak, Yu Anding would have regarded her as dumb.

Yun Ge just wanted to close herself up, and didn't want to touch the outside world.She just wants to hide in her corner and never wants to go forward. Yun Ge was silent, and Liu Fuling was also silent. All lost weight in silence, all haggard in silence. Two people who are close at hand seem to be far apart. Liu Fuling visited Yun Ge twice, but each time Yun Ge just stared at the corner of the wall, not looking at him, and spoke very politely, but that kind of politeness would only make people feel that she was cold and distant. Every time Liu Fuling came, Yun Ge's illness would recur.

Once, he even had a high fever again, which made Dr. Zhang completely puzzled. How could his condition suddenly deteriorate when his condition was clearly stable? From then on, Liu Fuling never came to see Yunge again, and completely disappeared in front of Yunge. Only the maid Matcha and Yunge accompanied her every day, and Yu An occasionally came over to check on her diet. It's as if the man who turned her world upside down never existed.Yun Ge also told herself over and over that there was nothing wrong, everything was right! She always recalled in her sleep, and the fragments in her dreams were very clear.

In the middle of the night, you will hear the faint sound of the flute, and the long thoughts are like spring rain, falling silently but affectionately. In the fragments of her dream, she seemed to be joyful, with the scorching sun of the desert, chirping stories, and giggling. But she will try to forget when she wakes up. When she was awake, she was full of pain, all kinds of pain, she couldn't think about it at all, she could only think about it and forget everything. One afternoon, the medicine had just worn off. Yun Ge half-opened his eyes, half-opening his eyes, and saw a faint shadow cast on the green screen window.

She immediately closed her eyes, telling herself she saw nothing and knew nothing. The sun at noon is the strongest. The shadow never disappeared, and she didn't dare to move. Hearing Yu An's soft voice, the shadow whispered something, and finally disappeared. Her tight heart was only slightly relaxed, and then she felt like crying. She told herself that there was no reason, how could she cry indiscriminately?It was just a stranger who kindly rescued her, but there were tears on the pillow. From then on, every noon, Yun Geren lay on the couch, although he had just taken the medicine and should be the most drowsy, but his mind was always extraordinarily clear.

Every noon, he would choose the time when she had taken the medicine to see her, and he would just stand quietly in the courtyard through the green screen window, never stepping into the house. Come quietly, and go quietly. Sometimes it's long, sometimes it's short. Inside and outside the house, this stop lasts for two months. one night. After serving Yunge with matcha and taking the medicine, Yunge pointed to the rattan chair in the room, and then pointed to the wisteria trellis in the courtyard. Matcha thought she wanted to go out to sit, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, you can't! You are seriously injured, and you need to take care of it for a while before you can go to the ground."

Yun Ge shook his head, then pointed to the rattan chair. Matcha finally understood, even though she didn't understand what Yunge wanted to do, she still moved the wicker chair under the wisteria trellis as promised. Yun Ge glanced outside through the window, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again. the second day. When Liu Fuling came, the room was as quiet as before.He was still facing the scorching sun, standing under the green screen window, quietly accompanying her. Even if she doesn't want to see him, knowing that she is sleeping peacefully inside the window, knowing that she is so close to him, no matter how far away he is, he can feel at ease. When Yu An came to ask Liu Fuling to go back, he frowned when he saw the rattan chair under the pergola. Matcha immediately said in a low voice in fear: "It's not that the servants are hiding away, but the young lady specially ordered them to be placed here." Liu Fuling was about to walk out of the yard, when he heard the reply, he stopped immediately, and turned his gaze to the window, as if he wanted to see through the green screen to see clearly the people inside. Yu An asked in surprise, "Miss, did you talk?" Matcha shook her head. Yu An didn't know what was going on with the emperor and Yun Ge, so he didn't dare to ask further.But since it was Yun Ge's order, he didn't dare to order Matcha to put away the rattan chair, so he just waved his hand to let Matcha go down. Yu An whispered to Liu Fuling: "Your Majesty, Qixi is here to report, Lord Huo Guang has been waiting in the main hall above for a while." Liu Fuling ignored Yu An's words, turned around and walked under the pergola, and sat down on the wicker chair without saying a word. Yu An was anxious and puzzled, and just wanted to ask if he should send a message ordering Huo Guang to go back. Liu Fuling only sat there for a moment, then got up again and left in a hurry. Yu An became more and more confused and could only rub his forehead, hating his parents for missing two heads. Yun Ge's injury healed extremely slowly, partly because the injury was serious, and partly because of heart disease. By the time I could barely go to the ground, it was already late autumn. After lying on the couch for two months, Yun Ge's whole frame was already itchy, and after finally waiting for the doctor to say that he could go to the ground, he immediately wanted to leave the house for a walk. Matcha wanted to help Yunge, but she pushed Matcha away, and walked slowly while holding onto the wall. She never knew where she was, nor how she could be here. These things were nothing in her suddenly upside-down world. Yun Ge slowly walked out of the yard along the wall.For a short distance, I was sweating profusely. She hasn't walked for a long time, and she really hates herself being limp.She still wanted to climb up the steps for a while, but she was exhausted, her legs were weak and she was about to fall, and the people behind her hurriedly supported her. Yun Ge thought it was matcha, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Fuling, and his body stiffened immediately. She desperately wanted to break free from him. Because the sword qi hurt the lungs, he became anxious at this moment, not only could he not use his strength, but he coughed violently. Liu Fuling supported her with one hand, and breathed lightly for her with the other. She wanted him to go, and when the words came to her lips, seeing those deep eyes and the corners of her lips tightly pressed together, she felt sore in her heart and couldn't say anything at all. She pushed away his hand and sat down on the steps. I buried my head in my knees, I didn't want to see or feel any more. It seems that her world will be as usual. Liu Fuling sat silently, looking at the golden and splendid forest below, as if he said to himself: "Did you see the leaves in front? It reminds me of the color of the desert. I live here for a while every year. I have free time. When I was young, my favorite place to stay was here. I could enjoy the autumn scenery during the day and the night sky at night. For so many years, I have not made much progress in other things, but I have studied astrology. , Fang Ritu..." Yun Ge's tears fell drop by drop on the skirt. Canglong in the East Palace, Xuanwu in the North Palace, White Tiger in the West Palace, Suzaku in the South Palace, and Horns, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Ji, Dou, Niu, Nv, Xu, Wei, Shi, Bi, Kui, Lou, Wei, Pleiades , Bi, 觜, ginseng... She has also studied them all, flipping through the book, looking for the starry sky, looking at it day by day, she knows more than those fortune tellers who are familiar with the astronomical phenomena and the stars. She knew he would know and understand. She knew that "the king's heart is like mine", but she did not "will live up to the king's will". How could she face him now? Liu Fuling raised Yun Ge's head and wiped away her tears: "Yun Ge, are you and I really strangers? Do you really want me to call you 'Miss' and 'Girl' from now on?" Yun Ge just wept silently, her eyes filled with pain and confusion. Liu Fuling was reluctant to force her again: "I'll send you back!" Even though he took the medicine to help sleep, Yun Ge couldn't fall asleep. In the middle of the night, he heard the faint sound of flute, playing a very familiar tune. It turns out that everything is not a dream! Yun Ge tossed and turned for a while, then put on her clothes and got up. Seeing a person hiding in the dark, Yu An was suddenly furious.Does anyone in the hot spring palace dare to spy on the emperor? When he came to him, he found that it was Yun Ge.Yu An shook his head and sighed, turned around to leave, but turned back: "Miss Yun, I have a few words to say to you." Yun Ge was startled, turned around and found that it was Liu Fuling's personal attendant, she didn't speak, just stood silently. Yu An hesitated for a while, but decided to go all out, and began to report Liu Fuling's daily life these years to Yun Ge like a bill: The young master has been waiting for the person holding the hair rope. The young master loves watching the stars. The young master prefers green. In the middle of the night, when the young master couldn't fall asleep, he would play the flute, but it was just a song over and over again... He actually talked for more than half an hour in one breath, and when he finished speaking, Yun Ge was already in tears. Yu An cleared his throat: "Miss Yun, what's the matter if you don't talk all day? No matter what you think in your heart, you should explain clearly to the young master. The slave has finished speaking, and the slave will leave." Liu Fuling leaned against the railing, silently looking at the sky full of stars. Hearing movement behind him, he thought it was Yu An, but he didn't hear a word of greetings for a long time. When he turned around, he saw Yun Ge standing prettyly under the corridor. Liu Fuling hurriedly walked a few steps, took off the cloak on his body, and put it on her body: "Why haven't you slept yet? It's very windy here, I'll take you back to your room." She grabbed his sleeve and motioned him to stop. Yun Ge sat down leaning against the railing, looked sideways into the distance, and said calmly about her experience in Chang'an: "The hair rope was taken away by my mother. I have been in Chang'an for more than a year. Before coming to Chang'an, I still Worrying about not having a token, how should I find Brother Ling, but I never expected to meet Brother Ling on the first day..." Liu Fuling was shocked when he heard that there was someone who looked similar to him and had the same jade pendant, but what hurt him even more was the trick of God. Yun Ge calmly narrated that she met another person again, her expression was indifferent, as if she was telling someone else's story.She didn't want to mention that person's name, and simply used the word "he". From meeting to parting, she explained it in a few words, but her hand holding the railing was tightly clenched, and her face was pale. "...He is ruthless, and I made Luohua intentionally in vain. Since I have already breached the contract, you don't have to keep the promise. My injury is almost healed, and it is time for me to leave." Liu Fuling held Yun Ge's shoulders and made her look at him: "You didn't breach the contract, it was just... just a mistake. Yun Ge, if you are happy now, I will return the pearl shoes to you. A write-off. But you have decided to cut off the past, so I don't want to return the pearl shoes to you. I don't want you to promise anything now, but I hope you give us some time. I only want one year. If after one year, you still want to Go, I will return the pearl shoes to you." No matter how hard Yun Ge was to maintain her indifference, tears welled up in her eyes, she suddenly turned her head away. She would rather he scold her, would rather he questioned her how could she break the covenant?I would rather he be furious and angry at her betrayal. But he just looked at her like this, his face was calm, his tone was light, and he didn't seem to show any emotion, but there was distress and bitterness in those dark eyes. Liu Fuling wiped away Yunge's tears with his sleeve: "Don't cry against the wind, it will hurt your body too much." He smiled slightly, and his tone was light on purpose: "Yun Ge, at least you should finish the unfinished story. It's been nine years. There are a lot of other cubs, sons, and grandchildren. Our one But the little wolf is still being spanked by you. After nine years of spanking, all anger should be gone, but poor little wolf..." Yun Ge burst out laughing through his tears, but before the joke could unfold, tears fell down again. Yun Ge no longer refuses to see Liu Fuling, but there is still not much talk between the two of them. Liu Fuling is a person who doesn't talk much, but Yun Ge is often unwilling to talk because of physical and mental injuries. Often the two are in the same room, but they don't speak a word for half a day. Sometimes after a long time, Yu An and Matcha, who were guarding outside, would even suspect that there were really two people in the room? Although there is a lot of silence, the two have their own way of getting along. Liu Fuling helped Yun Ge find the piano, and found a large volume of anecdotes and stories, the two played a section of the qin, and read anecdotes and legends for a while.Seeing the funny parts, she would purse her lips and smile slightly, and he would stare at her with a smile in his eyes. Liu Fuling neither mentioned the past nor the future to Yun Geruo to his friends, neither intentionally getting close nor deliberately keeping a distance. His indifferent attitude affected her. When she faced him, her nervousness and guilt gradually disappeared, and the calmness and leisure in her nature gradually revealed. The two of them already had a tacit understanding than ordinary people. Often without saying a word, the other party already knew what they wanted. Liu Fuling ordered someone to bring all the recipes that could be found in the palace, and let Yun Ge watch and play with them in his free time. There are quite a few unique recipes, and some talk about the mutual generation and restraint of the ingredients, but most of them are just a few words, not systematic, and Yun Ge often stamps his feet and sighs when his heart is moved. Liu Fuling encouraged her to write recipes. Since ancient times, "a gentleman is far away from the kitchen", literati and inkmen are not willing to take up pens to record things in the kitchen, and chefs can't write articles. It is rare that Yunge can do both. It is better to write a recipe to record contemporary food and cooking. Save a copy of the information for future generations, so that future generations will sigh while reading it. Yun Ge was full of pride, and decided to organize his notes from now on, in preparation for writing recipes and handing them down to the world. Liu Fuling didn't allow her to write, but only asked her to mark it. After he finished his official duties, he would help her carefully copy down the recipes he liked. Some ancient articles discussing ingredients use too many legends, and the words are obscure and difficult to understand. He will help her annotate them one by one, and indicate the source, so that she can find out the truth in the future. Liu Fuling's handwriting is excellent, and every word can be rubbed down for future generations to copy. It is full of small seal script, like a dragon roaming nine heavens, and Yun Ge couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "It is said that Li Si's small seal script was shown by Xunzi, and he didn't know the taste of meat in three months, so he immediately decided to accept him as a student. If Xunzi is still alive, I definitely have to accept you as a student, but if he knows that you use such good characters to write recipes for me, he will definitely call me an ignorant woman." Liu Fuling's profound knowledge also amazed Yun Ge, his head seemed to hold all the books in it, for any allusion, no matter how uncommon, he didn't need to flip through the book, he could think of where it came from at a glance, even Which chapter and which section. Yun Ge's health gradually improved, and the fatigue in his body also gradually disappeared.Quiet and eager to move, often deliberately making things difficult for Liu Fuling. When Liu Fuling was not around, she searched here and there, and found some strange words to test Liu Fuling, from various schools of thought to poems, from allusions to riddles. At the beginning, Liu Fuling gave the answer as soon as he picked up the pen. Later, he needed to think for a while, and the time may be long or short, but he can still give the answer. As long as Liu Fuling answered correctly, Yun Ge would lose and had to play him a piece of music he specified. Day by day, Yun Ge's originally terrible piano skills improved by leaps and bounds, and Yun Ge also got a glimpse of a world she had neglected from the music. If Yun Ge wins, Liu Fuling will have to do one thing she appointed, but Yun Ge has not had the opportunity to exercise her right until now. Yun Ge lost every day, lost no temper at all, racked his brains and thought, and suddenly realized that these books were brought to her by his order, since they were his books, he naturally read them all. Of course she can't win such a fight, if she wants to win, she can only jump out of these books. Jump out of these books? It's easy to say, Yun Ge's face is ashen as he thinks about the books piled up in several rooms. After Liu Fuling entered the room, he saw Yun Ge leaning over on the couch flipping through a book, and when he heard him enter the room, he didn't even raise his eyes, and looked very concentrated. The girl, Matcha, couldn't hide her excitement, standing by the door, looking like she was on standby at any time. Just as Yu An wanted to clean Liu Fuling's hands, Liu Fuling waved his hand and told him to go down, walked straight to the table, and picked up the question given by Yun Ge. "There is something in the sky, but not on the ground; there is something in the mouth, but not in the eyes; there is something in the text, but nothing in the martial arts; there is something in the mountains, but nothing on the ground. Name people." The words are straightforward and simple, but it is difficult to answer. Liu Fuling pondered intently, first the allusion, then the dismantling of the characters, and finally the transformation, but no one agrees with the meaning of this sentence. Liu Fuling thought it would be better to give up and let Yun Ge win once.Yun Ge is active by nature, this game is afraid that she will be bored, so she is not allowed to win, so that she can continue to make things difficult for her. But the moment he put down the silk silk, he suddenly realized that he had entered into a fixed train of thought. Who stipulated that "hitting a person's name" is an ancient person or a famous person?Is it the name on the book? This riddle contained the names of two people, but Yun Ge deliberately did not make it clear. Although Yun Ge's riddle was a bit of a rogue, but for the two of them, it was barely plausible.His fingers stroked the words she wrote, and there was a smile in his eyes. Looking up and seeing the cunning smile on her lips, his heart skipped a beat and he put down the silk. "I can't guess." Yun Ge immediately threw away the book, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Matcha." Matcha hurriedly moved the charcoal stove and tea kettle in, obviously the master and servant had already discussed it. Yun Ge said to Liu Fuling with a smile: "I'm thirsty, please ask Mr. Ling to make me a cup of tea." Yu An, who was standing outside the curtain, was also smiling. The emperor has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he has learned a lot. The name of child prodigy is by no means in vain. The emperor can easily write poems, compose Fu, play music and play the piano, but how about cooking tea... … Something to watch! Liu Fuling squatted down calmly, stared at the charcoal stove calmly, and studied calmly. Yun Ge waited for a while, seeing that he was only staring at the charcoal stove, very puzzled: "What's wrong with this stove? Isn't it good?" Liu Fuling said calmly: "I'm thinking about how this thing can have fire. If you're thirsty, drink some water first. It may take me a while to figure it out." His expression was so calm and calm that Yun Ge couldn't laugh when he wanted to. Yun Ge was stunned and said, "I'll teach you, but I'm only in charge of oral instructions. You have to cook it yourself, or I'll be in vain. I won. You don't know when you will win next time!" Liu Fuling smiled: "It will definitely make you drink." One said, the other did, Yu An and Matcha laughed so hard outside the curtain that their intestines would break. After all, how many people can see the dignified emperor, rolling up his sleeves, making a fire, drawing water, and making tea in a hurry? Finally, the tea was brewed, Liu Fuling brought a cup to Yun Ge, Yun Ge took a sip, paused for a moment, then swallowed it reluctantly, asked with a smile: "How much tea did you put?" "You said you put tea when the water bubbled like crab eyes, but I saw that there wasn't much tea in the jar, so I put all of it in. Did you put it wrong?" Both Yu An and Matcha shook their bodies and put all the jars in?Did the emperor think he was cooking porridge? Yu An sighed with some distress, that was the tribute tea from Wuyi Mountain, and it only cost four or two or three dollars a year. This pot of tea is really very precious! Precious is extremely precious, but that taste... At this time, Yu An suddenly felt a little bit different about Yun Ge's smile, and began to really have a good impression of Yun Ge. At first I sat far away and didn't pay attention.At this moment, Yun Ge saw that Liu Fuling's hands were burnt, and there were a few smears on the side of his face, Yun Ge's smile gradually turned sour, and he drank all the tea in the cup in a few sips: "Not bad, not bad. " Seeing that Liu Fuling wanted to pour it for himself, Yun Ge quickly grabbed the teapot, grabbed three cups, and poured exactly three cups. I took a cup first: "Yu An, matcha, it's rare for your young master to make tea, you should try it too." Yu An and Matcha looked at each other, Yun Ge raised his eyebrows and stared at them with a smile: "You guys should be thirsty after laughing for so long." Yu An immediately walked forward quickly, holding the heart of a strong man with a severed wrist, and drank it in one gulp. The matcha tea held the teacup and took a sip, the bitterness in the mouth was so bitter that even the tongue was numb, but the face was about to smile like a flower: "Thank you miss for giving me the tea, I will drink it slowly outside." Yun Ge's reaction was astute, but Liu Fuling grew up, who was not a scheming person with him all day long? He knew it in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Yun Ge deeply. Seeing Yunge sipping tea with a happy expression. He wanted to take Yun Ge's cup, but Yun Ge refused to let it go, he simply held Yun Ge's hand forcefully, and drank the remaining half of the cup. Yun Ge stared at him blankly, and he smiled lightly: "From now on, with me around, I won't let you suffer alone." Yun Ge felt sore, pretended not to understand what he said, and gave him a handkerchief, forced a smile and said, "You have charcoal marks on your face." After Liu Fuling wiped it with the veil a few times, there were still a few places that were not wiped off, Yun Ge was anxious to see it, so he took the veil and wiped it for him.When he withdrew his hand, Liu Fuling held Yun Ge's hand lightly. Yun Ge's body was stiff, his head was lowered, and he slowly withdrew his hand: "I'm a little tired." Liu Fuling's face darkened, he stood up and said, "Then you should rest for a while, you can have dinner later." Yun Ge lowered her head and did not speak, but when she heard the footsteps gradually receding, she stood up suddenly and called out: "Matcha." Matcha hurried in and obeyed orders. "Go and tell Yu An that brother Ling's hand was burned." Matcha nodded and walked out the door. Yun Ge's body gradually recovered, but the sword wound was too serious, even though there were famous doctors and good medicines, the root cause of the disease was still left behind. Liu Fuling was heartbroken, and secretly ordered all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital to study the prescriptions for coughing, and reward those who succeeded. Yun Ge himself didn't care about it: "It's lucky that I can save my life, but I just cough a few times, it's okay." There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and time flows like water. It was the end of summer when Yun Ge was injured, and it was early winter when he recovered from his illness. She tried her best to restrain herself from thinking about that person. During the day, she was fine. She could try to find something for herself, but in the dead of night, she couldn't help feeling sad. Thinking that he should raise the eyebrows with Miss Huo's family now, saying that it has nothing to do with him, but the "tie the hair together" he said when he tied her hair in the wind that day would always pop into his mind, and now he It should be hairpins for Miss Huo's family. Fortunately, her hatred for him has faded a lot. The taste of hatred is like being poisoned by the legendary Miaojiang Gu poison. Countless insects are gnawing at your heart every day, which is the pain of pain. Yun Ge doesn't like the feeling of hating people. He failed her, but she failed Brother Ling. The vows of the mountain alliance are still in my ears, but they cannot withstand the wind and rain of the world. She couldn't stand his temptation, and he couldn't stand the temptation of worldly power, so she couldn't hate him. If she wanted to hate, she should hate herself, hated herself for not knowing people with eyes, hated herself for being too self-righteous. Seeing Liu Fuling come in, Yun Ge, who was staring at a furnace of incense in a daze, jumped up eagerly, Liu Fuling's eyes dimmed. Yun Ge knew that she wanted to cover up, but she left traces instead, not to mention it was too difficult for her to hide from him, so she stopped putting on a happy face and just looked at him quietly. Liu Fuling walked up to her, stared at her for a while, then sighed softly, and took her into his arms: "How can I keep your smile on? If you only need to play with the princes, it's easy." Yun Ge wanted to push him away, but when she heard his deep voice, it made her feel sad, she suddenly became weak and leaned her head on his shoulder, just wanting to cry. If some things never happened, how happy would she be with him now? Liu Fuling hugged her silently for a while, then said suddenly: "Didn't you say yesterday that you are recovering from illness and you are going to get sick from boredom? I will accompany you down the mountain to relax, do you want to go?" Yun Ge thought for a while, then nodded. When Yu An heard that the emperor was going to play at the foot of the mountain, he hurriedly arranged for manpower, but the emperor refused to allow it. Yu An had no choice but to let people disguise themselves and follow them secretly. Yun Ge didn't know where she was. When she went down the mountain, she realized that she lived in a remote place, hidden deep in the forest among the peaks. It took a while to get to the main mountain road. Looking up from the main mountain road, there was a faint house Continuous terraces. "This is where?" Liu Fuling was silent for a moment before saying, "Lishan." Yun Ge didn't know about the various residences of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, so he didn't think too much about it, and just sighed inwardly, it turned out that it was still very close to Chang'an. They came by coincidence, it was market day.The streets are bustling with activity. This year is a bumper harvest year, and taxes have really come down again. The prices of items related to daily life such as salt and iron have also dropped compared with previous years.The people who come and go on the street all look peaceful. They have bought the necessities of life at home, and have spare money to buy a silk flower for their wife and snacks for their children. The business of the vendors is good, and their hearts and brows are also relaxed.During the greeting, they asked about each other's recent situation, and there were many jokes. Yun Ge smiled: "The weather is different from when I first came to the Han Dynasty. This emperor is a good emperor, and Huo Guang is also very good." It was the first time for Liu Fuling to visit the market in the suburbs of Chang'an, watching the people coming and going, listening to the loud noise, it was very different from the daily scene in the deep palace. Although it was noisy, he liked the smell of fireworks. Because normal, so warm. The two were often separated by crowds, Liu Fuling was afraid of losing Yunge, so he simply held Yunge's hand, led her, and walked carelessly on the street. The two of them were casual, but it was hard for Yu An, his eyes had looked in all directions, and he still felt that it was not enough, but seeing the warmth hidden in the corners of Liu Fuling's eyebrows, he felt that everything was worth it. Seeing a group of people densely surrounded in the square, Yun Ge immediately dragged Liu Fuling and squeezed past.I only heard the people in front laughing for a while, and amazed for a while, which made people very curious. "The appearance is really pitiful!" "Look at this little one!" "Are these two brothers?" "Looks like, I wonder if they are twin brothers?" "Where are the parents? How did they come here to play alone? I don't know if they have eaten anything." Yun Ge wandered around, but still couldn't get in, glanced at Yu An who was following behind them, and thought to himself: "Yu An, do you want to squeeze in and have a look?" Under Liu Fuling's gaze, Yu An dared to say no?He could only say with a half-smile: "Yes." Yun Ge said with a smile: "I have a method, it works very well, you just yell 'the one inside is my nephew', and everyone will definitely give way to you." Yu An's expression relaxed, it's okay, it's not a trouble.He breathed a sigh of relief, and roared angrily: "Let me go, let me go, the one inside is my nephew." The people outside didn't know what was inside, they all gave way when they heard the urgent shout, but the people inside were surprised and also gave way. "Let's go, let's go, the one inside is my nephew..." Seeing the things in the crowd, Yu An swallowed his words and almost choked to death. There was silence all around. Everyone looked at Yu An silently, with different expressions. I saw two little monkeys who looked exactly the same were playing in the arena. At this time, the crowd suddenly became quiet. They seemed very strange, scratching their heads, their big eyes rolled around, and a slender tail swayed back and forth. Yun Ge suppressed a laugh, quickly pulled Liu Fuling away a few steps, drew a line with Yu An, and said in a low voice, "We don't know him." Moments later, the crowd burst into laughter. The two little monkeys also got excited, screaming "Zhizhi", somersaulting, and scratching their buttocks, happily. Someone laughed and said loudly: "I don't know where two little monkeys came. We were thinking that if we don't care about them, they will starve to death in the winter. Now that Uncle Baby is here, it's easy to handle! Please come to him!" Uncle took them home." Yu An's face turned pale and red, Yun Ge laughed until he fell down. Fearing that she would start coughing again, Liu Fuling quickly patted her on the back, and told An: "Brother Yu, take them back and release them to the mountains when the older ones are born. This is also a kind deed of Brother Yu." Yu An looked at Liu Fuling in astonishment, the first time he looked directly after many years. Liu Fuling supported the woman in green beside him, although there was no expression on his face, there was a light smile in his eyes.At this time, he is no longer alone and aloof, no longer without joy or anger, he is just an ordinary man doting on the women around him. Yu An's eyes were sour, he lowered his head, and answered: "Yes". Although Yu An took the monkey in, he kept a straight face. When Yun Ge talked to him, he only said "hmmmhmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"?" Yun Ge asked Liu Fuling for help, Liu Fuling fed the monkeys with food, and said to Yun Ge, "You will deal with the troubles you caused yourself." Yun Ge rushed to Yu An's side, being careful: "Brother Yu, I didn't know there were two little monkeys inside! I thought it was someone's lost child. Brother Yu, it's good to be a monkey's uncle! Look at this How cute are the two monkeys!" Yu Anweng said in a low voice: "It's so cute, and I don't see girls saying that's your nephew." Yun Ge smiled: "Don't say it's my nephew, it's my son! My mother was raised by wolves, and my grandmother is a wolf. It would be nice to have a monkey son..." Yu An was also annoyed by Yun Ge's anger, "You didn't succeed in kissing, so you just talk about your son, son, aren't you ashamed? Where is your son's father?" As soon as Yu An finished speaking, he thought that Yun Ge was his mother, he was his uncle, and the emperor just called him big brother, so the emperor became two monkeys... Wanting to laugh, but not daring to laugh, endured very hard. Yun Ge knew that he had said something wrong, so he sneaked a glance at Liu Fuling, who also happened to be looking at her, and the two of them met their gazes. He was half-smiling, kind of joking, Yun Ge immediately blushed with embarrassment. Yun Ge stomped her feet, turned around and left: "You two tease me together!" Liu Fuling hurriedly ordered Yu An to take good care of the monkey, and went to chase Yunge by himself, but after Yunge hadn't gone far, he turned around sharply and ran back in a hurry, with a very ugly expression on his face, Liu Fuling held her arm: "Why? gone?" Yun Ge didn't answer, and led him into a store in a panic. It is a store that sells pottery. There are large and small pottery vessels in the spacious yard, including huge water tanks, medium and small rice tanks, and smaller pickle jars. Yun Ge looked around, there was nowhere to hide, and when he heard the screams from outside, he was anxious, and dragged Liu Fuling into a large water tank without caring too much. Although the water tank is big, it can accommodate two people and it is still unbearably crowded. Yun Ge and Liu Fuling face each other, as if hugging each other tightly, very intimate. Yun Ge said softly: "I'm confused, and they don't know you, why did I pull you and hide?" Liu Fuling didn't have much expression, but there was bitterness in his eyes. Liu Bing had already heard from his brothers that he saw a woman who looked like Yun Ge, so he immediately called Meng Jue and hurried over.Indeed, they saw a similar figure, but before they got close, they saw that figure swaying among the crowded crowd for a few moments before disappearing. After searching for a few months, Meng Jue has already used all available news networks, from Da Han to the Western Regions, but there is no news about Yun Ge, she seems to have disappeared from the world suddenly, without leaving a trace. He couldn't even find out who the two parties who fought that night were. From being confident at the beginning to being worried now, he began to wonder if Yun Ge escaped that night?Did an accident happen?Is she alive or dead? Worry and fear tormented him so much that he could not sleep peacefully every day. I searched a lot, but couldn't find the person I was looking for.The two stood outside the pottery shop, both dejected. Liu Bing already sighed and said, "Maybe I have identified the wrong person." Meng Jue was silent for a while, then suddenly shattered the crock pot beside her as a signboard with a palm: "It must be her." Yun Ge, who was hiding in the water tank, couldn't help shaking slightly. Liu Fuling hastily stretched out his arms to hug her, as if he wanted to shield Yunge from all harm. The dozing clerk in the store heard the movement and came out to look around. Seeing someone smashing the goods, he was about to curse, but was stared at by Meng Jue's Senhan, and he couldn't say a word. Meng Jue threw a piece of gold leaf to him: "It's nothing to do with you, go back and sleep with you." The clerk put away the gold leaf, ran back to the store, and shrank directly under the counter, closing his eyes. Meng Jue said to Liu Bing, "I didn't see her around here, and ordered someone to search all the nearby shops." After speaking, Meng Jue personally began to check the pottery shop. Clap it with your palm and shake the cylinder into pieces. Yun Ge didn't understand what he was thinking at all, he was the one who used her, he was the one who went in and out of Huo's mansion, he was the one who wanted to reach the pinnacle of power, he was the one who hugged Huo Chengjun intimately, since he wanted Huo Chengjun, why did he want Huo Chengjun? Looking for her?Could it be that he thought she could serve Huo Chengjun together? Seeing Yun Ge's pale face, Liu Fu Ling knew that Meng Jue was still very important in her heart.It is because I still care about it that I am afraid to face it. I am afraid that I still care about what I am, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help myself. Hearing the sound of crumbling pottery gradually coming towards them, Liu Fuling whispered in Yunge's ear, "If you don't want to see him, I'll go and keep him away for you." Yun Ge shook his head. Meng Jue looks like a gentle gentleman on the outside, but his personality is actually very unruly. Now he doesn't even need that gentleman's coat, so it can be seen that if he doesn't search the neighborhood today and find her, he won't let it go.Brother Ling is just an ordinary person and doesn't know a little bit of kung fu, so how can he stop Meng Jue? Yun Ge suddenly grabbed Liu Fuling's hand: "You can tell me a lie and be my husband, okay? I told him that we are already engaged, and told him not to come to me again..." There was a bit of sadness in Liu Fuling's eyes, and he interrupted Yun Ge gently: "Yun Ge, we are a fiancée with a covenant." Yun Ge's language is harsh, yes, they have exchanged tokens long ago, and have made oaths...husband...wife! Yun Ge's hand holding Liu Fuling became weak and slowly slipped, but Liu Fuling held her tightly. The sound of footsteps gradually approaching, Yun Ge's heart was in a mess, fear, pain, resentment, shame, warmth, sourness, all crowded in her chest, tearing her, tearing her, a heart would be torn apart, Only the hand holding her firmly protected her. She firmly held Liu Fuling's hand, and smiled at him, although it disappeared before fully unfolding, but her eyes were no longer flustered. Yun Ge heard the tank next to him shatter, knowing that the next tank they were hiding in was next, took a deep breath, mustered all the courage in his body and waited to face Meng Jue. Meng Jue raised his palm and was about to wave it down when he heard someone laughing and shouting, "Isn't this Mr. Meng?" Meng Jue paused, turned around slowly, and smiled with his hands behind his back: "Yu..." Yu An quickly waved his hand: "They're all outside, so there's no need to be so polite. I'm crazy about how old you are, if Mr. Meng doesn't mind, just call me Brother Yu!" Meng Jue smiled and bowed: "Being obedient is worse than being respectful. Why is Brother Yu here?" Yu An said with a smile: "I came out to do some private business. When I passed by here, I saw Mr. Meng knocking on the tank. I came in to take a look when I was curious. If Mr. Meng needs help with anything, feel free to speak." Meng Jue smiled and went to the outsider: "It's nothing serious. The guys in this store are annoying. It's a moment of anger. It's rare for elder brother to go outside. If you have time, let younger brother be the host and have a few drinks." Meng Jue and Yu An chatted and laughed as they left the shop. As soon as they left, eunuchs immediately came in to pick up Liu Fuling and Yun Ge, escorted them into the carriage through the back door, and returned to Mount Li. Yun Ge's mind was full of thoughts, Yu An and Meng Jue knew each other, and Meng Jue was obviously afraid of An, and was as polite to An as he was to Huo Guang, but Yu An was just brother Ling's housekeeper. Yun Ge sat silently, and Liu Fuling remained silent, only the sound of the horse's hoof beating on the mountain road was heard. Back at the residence in the other courtyard, Liu Fuling told everyone to retreat: "Yun Ge, is there anything you want to ask me?" Yun Ge took the hairpin and flicked the candle lightly, frowning slightly: "I used to think that as long as I treat people well, they will treat me well. If I treat people with sincerity, people will naturally treat them with sincerity." Treat me, but later I found out that it was not the case. People in this world are very complicated, with deception, suspicion, betrayal, and hurt. I will not lie, but now I don’t trust anyone easily anymore, but..." Yun Ge looked up at Liu Fuling, "Brother Ling, I trust you. If you lie to me, who else can I trust? I just want to know the truth, you tell me." Liu Fuling quietly stared at Yunge. Yun Ge saw the familiar shadow Shen Shen again, filled with helplessness. Yun Ge felt sad, she wanted him to be happy, since she was a child, she always said: "Brother Ling, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it, wait until later..." Liu Fuling shook his head: "My name is three characters, not two characters, and there is a 'Fu' added between the two characters Liu Ling." Yun Ge's hairpin that was picking up the candle fell, knocking out the candle, and the room suddenly plunged into darkness. Yun Ge unconsciously murmured and repeated: "Liu Fuling, Liu Fuling... Brother Ling, you...you have the same name as the emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Liu Fuling sat beside Yunge, went to hold Yunge's hand, and said coldly, "Yunge, no matter what my identity is, I'm still me, I'm your elder brother Ling." Yun Ge just wondered why the world is so chaotic, how could brother Ling be the emperor?how is this possible? "Brother Ling, you are not the emperor, are you?" She looked at him helplessly, and the only answer she expected was obviously: "No". Liu Fuling couldn't face Yun Ge's eyes, so he went to hug her, ignoring her struggle, and hugged her tightly in his arms: "Yun Ge, I am me, past, present, and future, I am your mausoleum." elder brother." Yun Ge hit Liu Fuling's chest, trying to push him away. Liu Fuling hugged her tightly, no matter how much she beat her, he just wouldn't let her break free. Yun Ge fought for a while, and finally burst into tears: "I don't like the emperor, I don't like it! Don't be the emperor, okay? Isn't this very good now? Build a house in the mountains, and we can live in peace and quiet. Life, don’t you like to read topography and anecdotes? Nowadays, topography is incomplete, we can travel around in person, collect local customs, climate legends, and food. You write a local annals and anecdotes, and I write a cookbook... ..." Liu Fuling pressed Yun Ge's head tightly on his shoulder, his eyes were full of powerlessness and helplessness, and he could only say in Yun Ge's ear over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Because of his identity, there is already too much helplessness in his life, so he has been trying to avoid creating helplessness in the lives of others because of his own identity. After eating Mr. Zhu's food, he didn't want to take it for granted just because he was the emperor, and he didn't want to make Mr. Zhu helpless because of a decision of his own. But he was making Yun Ge helpless, this was the last thing he wanted, but it was a helpless one. Everything was already quiet, but Yun Ge suddenly sat up from the couch, and put on his clothes lightly. Looking around the room, there was nothing that belonged to her, she turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly turned back and put the notes that Liu Fuling had written for her on the table into her arms. Yun Ge turned out of the house through the window, trotted all the way, ran, but stopped again, turned to look at his residence. The lights and candles were extinguished there, and it was pitch black, presumably he was asleep. She had been thinking about it for so many years, and looking for him for so long, brother Ling was exactly as she had imagined. She didn't need to say anything, he knew everything she thought, but why was he the emperor? He is the emperor, isn't he her elder brother Ling? Yun Ge didn't want to answer her own question, whether she was cowardly or selfish, she just wanted to avoid everything now. Ever since she was injured, it seemed that her head hadn't really woken up. Before she could fully accept one surprise, another surprise came again. Now she just wanted to stay away from everyone and everything. Finally made up her mind to leave, and when she turned around, she found that at some point, Liu Fuling was already standing quietly behind her. In the dark night, his eyes were also dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly inside. Yun Ge stared blankly at Liu Fuling, and after a long time, suddenly lowered his head, trying to walk past him. "Yun Ge." Liu Fuling held an object and handed it to her. When Yun Ge glanced at it, his heart trembled, and he couldn't move forward anymore. A small light green embroidered shoe was lying in Liu Fuling's palm, a pearl the size of a longan on the shoe was shining softly under the starlight. Yun Ge dazedly stretched out his hand to take it, the hand was still warm, he thought he kept it close to his body all the time. ... "Okay, I'll wait for you in Chang'an." "Pull the hook, hang yourself, for a hundred years, don't change!" "Do you know what it means for a woman to give embroidered shoes to a man?" "I accept it. Yun Ge, you must also remember!" "With the stars as an alliance, there will be no repentance." ... That night is also like this night, the sky is full of stars. Under the same starry sky, the same person stands. Such a star, such a night, isn't it what she has thought about countless times? Just why...why is it so bitter? Liu Fuling's eyes fell on the embroidered shoes of Singer Yun: "Yun Ge, I only need one year. I have been waiting for nine years, at least please give me some time to listen to your stories. You must have been there again in nine years. I just want to know and understand what you have done. Give me a chance to tell you what I have done in these nine years, don't you care at all?" "I……" Yun Ge's speech was stagnant.How could it be possible not to care, not want to know?Countless times when I lay on the roof and looked at the stars, I would think about what brother Ling was doing.He even purposely wrote down everything he did on a certain day, at a certain hour, and wanted to wait until the reunion in the future to ask Brother Ling to see what he was doing on that day, at that hour, and if he had thought about her?And those words that have been accumulated over the years... Liu Fuling took back the embroidered shoes from Yun Singer: "It only takes one year. If you still want to leave after one year, I will return the pearl embroidered shoes to you. There is no agreement between me and you. But now, I I want you to fulfill your oath." Yun Ge suddenly turned his head to the side and laughed: "Brother Ling, you are so smart. Who told me that I was a little idiot back then, and I will be a big idiot when I grow up? Good! A one-year agreement." Turning around and walking towards the house, "One year later Today, when I leave, I don't need you to see me off." Liu Fuling stood with his hands behind his back, clutching the embroidered shoes tightly, watching Yun Ge's figure slowly walk into the room. Long after she had entered the house, he remained where he was. He raised his head slightly and looked at the starry sky. The night is low, the stars are densely covered, and the beauty is eternal. Such a star, such a night.
