Chapter 44 Blooming Silent
The tourmaline has insomnia.
This night, she toss and turned and couldn't fall asleep, remembering some past events that she dared not touch before.
A few months ago, at Gongsun's house in Shazhou City, Gongsun Mu separated Bixi and Su Siman. They were not allowed to meet, and then they were taken to different brothels. After that, Liang Shaoxuan's people appeared and took her out of the kiln. Only then did Bixi find out that Su Siman was also trapped in the brothel.
Several times he wanted to save Su Siman, but because Liang Shaoxuan was in Shazhou City at this time and his whereabouts had to be kept secret, he could not find a suitable opportunity to sneak out.
Finally, Liang Shaoxuan and others went out and left her alone, pretending to be ill and lying in bed, which was a rare opportunity to act alone.
Unexpectedly, something happened halfway. She also went to Huichun Tower and met a person who was hunted down first. When she saw the person chasing the man clearly, she turned around before she thought much, because the person behind her was Liang Shaoxuan's men. If she is broken, it will take a lot of effort to justify herself, and she may not be able to fool the shrewd Liang Shaoxuan. So when Bixi recognized it, she almost did not hesitate to run in the same direction as the person being chased.
That person may be for his own safety, or maybe he is really kind-hearted and gave her a hand. The two were chased by Liang Shaoxuan's men and the master of night charm that they had to hide in the secret door at the end of the alley and entered the yard of a family. The two hid in the small space behind the warehouse, almost next to each other. Although both of them were covered, they recognized each other almost at the same time at the moment when their eyes met. Bixi recognized that the person who was almost next to her was Liyuan. At that moment, there was a crisp sound in her heart, and she didn't know how to react, and countless thoughts turned around her mind. Li Yuan only paid attention to the movement around him, his eyebrows did not wrinkle, and his expression was very calm.
Bixi was a little angry. Why did she look so surprised? I don't know if she was noticed by him. Her face in the dark was like a fire. She was thinking that her face must have turned red. She didn't expect that she was so close to a person for the first time, and she was avoiding the embarrassing situation of tracking.
Recalling the situation that day, Bixi's face was still a little hot. She thought that she hated him a little at that time, and even out of some strange psychology. Later, she stole his waist card, which indirectly contributed to the bloody tragedy of Yaoyun Villa, and there was a scene of blaming. If she hadn't handed over the waist card at the beginning, maybe Liang Shaoxuan would not have used such bloody and despicable means... Speaking of which, she was also an accomplice who could not be exoneated. But at that time, they were their respective masters and had different positions, and sometimes they were indeed involuntarily.
Thinking of this, Bixi turned over two bodies in a row and became more and more worried. It seemed that she couldn't sleep today, so she simply opened her eyes.
The room is dim, leaving only the window faintly white. The top of the black tent is like an open net, quietly opening its mouth, as if to swallow her. Bixi opened his eyes wide, stared at the top of the tent, and his mind was a little empty. At this moment, she didn't think about anything. The guilt that she had been unable to let go of in the past seemed to no longer be entangled with her, but she was still not relaxed. What was she was tightening and seemed to be afraid of something, but even she couldn't say it herself.
The eunuch who patrolled the night outside knocked on the bang and shouted sharply: "The sky is dry, be careful of the fire candle... The sky is dry, be careful of the fire candle..." Until the sound gradually faded away, the tourmaline still opened his eyes.
The world is so quiet, but her heart is like thousands of horses rushing to the river.
Nearly four days later, she finally fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, she looked depressed, her eyes were slightly dark, and she had to apply a wet towel with cold water for a long time. Because she was on duty, she had to cheer up. She washed her face with cold water for a while before she cleared her mind. After a hasty wash, he went straight to the prince's bedroom.
The maids live some distance away from the prince's bedroom, and they have to pass through a seven-fold corridor in the middle. At this time, it was still early. Except for the eunuchs on duty, the rest of the people had not yet got up. The whole Anqin Garden and even the East Palace were very quiet and few people walked around. As soon as the tourmaline turned out of the small garden, before he could enter the corridor, he saw a straight black figure standing at the entrance.
For no reason, her heart beat faster and her face suddenly turned red - she recognized the man at a glance.
Li Yuan was wearing light armor, with a sword hanging slightly around his waist, and the lines did not move. It was obvious that he had not just arrived, and he might have been waiting for a long time.
Hearing the slight footsteps, he turned his face and saw that there were no waves on Bixi's face, as calm as a bowl of flat water.
However, in the view of Bixi, that's all. He has always been this cold-faced and cold-blooded appearance, and she has long been used to it. But she didn't pay attention to it carefully. In fact, his facial expression was still a little different from usual. For example, the corners of his mouth, which had been squeezed in the past, were now slightly raised, although the curvature of the rise was not obvious.
Bixi stagnated for a moment, only glanced at Li Yuan, and immediately lowered his eyelids. The slightly drooping head seemed to be shy and angry. The distant mountain eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, and the apricot's eyes were filled with autumn water. His face was a little pale, and his cheeks were extremely blushing. It was really touching and pitiful.
She was not going to talk to him and bow her head to speed up. Almost as he passed by, he stretched out his hand and gently grabbed her slender wrist.
"You?" The tourmaline turned around in astonishment and raised his eyebrows high.
Li Yuan took the first half of the step and looked down at her slightly without talking. He put his other hand into his arms and took out the sachet thrown by the tourmaline last night.
Bixi's face immediately bulged, and his cheeks were a little redder. The mask was thin and angry, and he split his hand and grabbed it: "Gry me back!"
The curvature of the corners of Liyuan's mouth was obvious, and his eyebrows were slightly bent: "There is no reason to take back the gift."
Bixi's face was full of angrily: "Don't be sentimental! Who said it was for you? The movements of his hands did not fall at all, but Li Yuan's arms were longer than her, and his hands and feet were flexible, and he couldn't win them.
"Bastard, give me back!" Bixi looked up at him and whispered, "In the early morning, the general didn't go to patrol, but he was entangled with a maid of honor here. If he is seen, isn't the general afraid of being laughed at?"
Li Yuan did not answer, with a faint smile in his eyes, and whispered, "You are not afraid. What am I afraid of?"
This seems to be a pun. He is clearly hinting at something. Bixi's face is ashamed, and his plain lips and tongue are a little blunt.
She took a look at the sachet in his hand and asked with a little confidence, "What do you want?"
Li Yuan's men suddenly increased their strength, and there was a pain in Bixi's wrist. He stared at her eyes tightly. His eyes were deep, as if there was something burning faintly. He raised the thing in his hand and said, "I just want to ask you, did you made this sachet for me, right?"
