Wu Zhongxian rode slowly on his horse by the Qinghe River in the inner courtyard of the palace. His buttocks were sore from the cowhide saddle. He forced himself to smile and think about his previous conversation with the empress, but his white pair of flowers were too long.
Legs lingered in his mind.
He naturally knew that including this time, it was not the first time he had met the empress in private, but the atmosphere of this conversation was obviously different from the previous ones.
Could it be that he wanted to protect Mo Jianqi and offended the empress?
Wu Zhongxian thought for a moment and then denied it in his heart. Even if he could justify the murderer who wantonly killed the county envoy, at most he was just ignoring the laws of the Qin Dynasty. This trivial matter would not make the empress change her view of him.
He reached out and pulled out a piece of dead wood and willow. Since he couldn't figure it out, he might as well ask the people around the empress, and then asked Wu Wuyou beside him: "I don't know what I did wrong in my humble duty today, and I offended His Majesty Long."
Yan.”
Then Wu Zhongxian sighed softly, pretending to be relieved of his guard after surviving a disaster, and said: "It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. I have seen that today in my humble position."
Wu Wuyou chuckled a few times and replied: "You usually use the words 'you and me' when nothing happens. Now that you have something to ask for, it has become a 'humble job' again. You don't know how to talk glibly all day long."
Your Majesty is interested in you."
Wu Zhongxian touched his nose guiltily, and could only laugh a few times with the latter, and then said: "Sir, please stop laughing at me. You can see that the clothes behind me are soaked with cold sweat."
Then he changed the topic and said: "I wonder if your Majesty knows why your Majesty is angry today? Is it really just because of the girl from the Criminal Department?"
Wu Zhongxian dared to ask Wu Wuyou directly, because he liked the latter as the real confidant of the empress. Although he didn't know how close the relationship between the two women was, it could be seen from Wu Wuyou's stay in the palace all day long.
.
The young girl in front of him was definitely not as simple as she seemed.
Although Wu Zhongxian was asking about Wu Wuyou, he was also asking about the empress behind this woman.
Wu Wuyou had been secretly observing Wu Zhongxian for a long time, and he knew that the latter was free and unrestrained at heart, and was by no means someone who could be restrained. Although he was gentle on the outside, apart from the occasional reckless impulse, he could still manage to remain calm and capable.
, couldn't help but wonder: "Shouldn't you put it in the left ear and out the right ear?"
Then Wu Wuyou looked at Wu Zhongxian and teased jokingly: "Don't you, the great director of Jianghu, always have soft jade with you, and you can't extricate yourself from the thousands of flowers? How can you worry about your future?"
Wu Zhongxian shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself, how could he be worried about his future in Great Qin? If he really offended the extremely ambitious empress, would he be able to make excuses in the future?
Seeing his helpless expression, Wu Wuyou felt a little dazed. After looking at him for a long time, he muttered: "You don't care about His Majesty, do you?"
When Wu Zhongxian heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. He suddenly turned back to look at the majestic palace behind him, fearing that the empress would just fly her sword from a distance and kill him.
Fa-rectification on the spot!81Zw.????m
"Sir, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say! I don't want to be killed for no reason just because of your words!"
At this time, Wu Wuyou also realized that what he said was inappropriate, two blushes appeared on his face, and he scolded Sister Seventeen a thousand times in his heart!
If it weren't for the fact that this woman became more and more strange after coming into contact with Wu Zhongxian, she found that this woman was secretly analyzing some things about the love between men and women every day. Over time, even Wu Wuyou herself became a little strange.
However, words can easily cause ambiguity, but Wu Wuyou firmly believes in the feeling in his heart. Wu Zhongxian's dejected look just now is exactly the same as the description in the novel of a frustrated boy and girl who cannot get what they want!
If Wu Zhongxian knew what Wu Wuyou was thinking at this time, he would definitely reward the latter with a chestnut!
Don't you know how much you weigh in this area? Do you think that an inexperienced girl will imitate others and eat melon randomly? Vulgar talk will destroy the world view! Talking nonsense can really kill people!
Wu Zhongxian stabilized his mind, widened his eyes and asked curiously: "Why do you think so, sir?"
Wu Wuyou also became interested at this time, like an innocent girl sharing gossip with others, Qianqian tied up her hands and dragged her small chin, her pouted little mouth was very cute, and said softly: "What I read in the book is...
No, this guess comes from my woman’s sixth sense. Isn’t it written in the book that women’s sixth sense is very accurate.”
Wu Wuyou now seems to have liberated his nature. On weekdays, he secretly reads many short stories, but he lives in the palace and has no one to share with him. Wu Zhongxian has now become the best listener.
In fact, Wu Wuyou himself didn't know why he shared his thoughts with the man in front of him. Maybe it was someone he had met in the past, either a maid in the palace or an old minister in the court.
The people she can come into contact with are either separated by status or class, or are old and rotten.
No one was worth her time to stop and chat, and no one dared to say what Wu Wuyou was thinking with confidence.
She had not met Wu Zhongxian a few times in private, but she could always feel that different feeling in him every time, a feeling that Wu Wuyou had never felt before.
Not only is he transcending the thousands of thoughts in the land of Qin, but he is also not obsessed with the flies and dogs in the court.
Especially when Wu Wuyou saw a poem written by Wu Zhongxian, she became more and more interested in everything about the man in front of her.
The two walked along the river, the horses' hooves kicked up dust, and the gentle breeze blew in their faces. Wu Zhongxian and Wu Wuyou talked and laughed all the way. They talked about everything, as if they had talked about half their lives.
In the end, Wu Zhongxian didn't ask why the Empress' attitude changed, and Wu Wuyou didn't find out in the end whether this man had a forbidden love for His Majesty...
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. No matter how far the road is, it will end. The inner city gate of the palace is in front of you. When Wu Zhongxian saw this, he immediately smiled and said: "You can stay, I can walk the rest of the road by myself."
Wu Wuyou looked at the city gate not far away. For some reason, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been stolen. He felt empty. For the first time, he felt that this huge palace was a bit too small. It was too small to accommodate a person worthy of speaking to him.
people.
Wu Wuyou waved his hand to lift up the green hair that had been blown away by the breeze, and finally smiled, his eyebrows curved like two small crescents, and slight dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he said with a smile: "I heard that you are good at composing poetry? Not so.
If you compose a song and give it to me now, it won’t be in vain that I have been carried so far by you.”
"Okay, if you let me treat you to a big meal, I will have to think about it a few times because I am shy in my pocket, but if you want to write poetry, this is a trivial matter to me." Wu Zhongxian put his hands on the saddle, his eyes
Looking at the sky, I thought over and over again in my heart the Tang poetry and Song lyrics I knew.
"The morning rain in the capital is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and the willows are new." Wu Zhong said the first two sentences leisurely. The original text was "Weicheng" and he changed it to "Jingcheng". After all, Wu Wuyou didn't know where Weicheng was.
Wu Wuyou's heart moved. In just two sentences, he described the scene after the rain in the capital. Such literary talent made him admire. But then he thought, these first two sentences had nothing to do with her, so he immediately said;
"Didn't you say it was given to me? This..."
"I advise you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west." Wu Zhongxian waited for Wu Wuyou to finish speaking before saying the following, and then walked towards the city gate without looking back. He was really afraid of the empress' decree.
Ling Zai called himself back...
Wu Wuyou looked at Wu Zhongxian's retreating back. The city gate was located to the west of the entire palace. She remained silent for a long time and did not leave until the horse on her crotch hummed impatiently for a few minutes before she reacted and murmured.
Said: "Is there no old friend when I leave Yangguan in the west..."
