Chapter 34 He Received a Letter
The candlelight on the river floats with the water waves, and pieces of fire light pave another unique long river.The crowds are dense and piled up into mountains and seas.
I ran along the river bank with the lotus lantern in my arms, but there was no room to put the lantern.Zuo Ziling was just stunned for a moment, and when he realized that I wasn't around, he looked for me with a dark face.There were a lot of people, but he was still so conspicuous because of his handsome face, because he was full of hostility, and more, in fact, because of his flamboyant bright red.
I rolled my eyes secretly, but didn't show it on my face.Finally, when there was an empty seat, I lowered my waist and put down the lotus lantern, clasping my hands together as a gesture of prayer.I have so many wishes, I don't know which one to choose.
He paced to my side, stood up straight, held a lotus lamp and looked down at me condescendingly: "To realize your wish, it's useless to just stare at the lamp and think about it. You have to work hard to get what you want, even if you are bruised all over your body. "
I froze for a moment, then looked up at him.His expression was unruly and rampant, and those pure and deep eyes seemed to be shining in the candlelight.The lotus lantern was held by him casually, and I noticed that there were also words written on the lotus petals.
I smiled slightly, once again annoyed by the disadvantages of illiteracy, and said in a light tone: "Zi Ling, I didn't intend to make a wish to the lotus lamp because of it. Wishes for people are naturally realized by people. Lian Lamps, shooting stars, fireworks, these things are the sustenance of people's wishes, because they have wishes in their hearts, but they cannot be realized in a short period of time, so they think of using other things to dispel them. Wishes have been made, but life has not. This is the end, people still have to work hard on their own, little by little, and slowly approach success. When a person is tired, tired, or even wants to give up in the process of hard work, remember that he once made a wish, The lotus lantern floating with the river is traveling far away with its own wish, and the tiredness will turn into blood. Don’t you think it’s wonderful?”
There was a lot of noise, and the number of people standing around the shore was by no means countable with bare hands.
Zuo Ziling was very quiet, just looking at me.I didn't feel awkward, and looked at him lightly.After a while, he withdrew his eyes and turned his eyes to the moat full of candles, but there was no joy in the corners of his slightly curled lips.
There was a pair of children on the other side of the river bank. The boy was wearing a neat blouse, made of rough fabric, and the color was gray. It could be seen that he was not a child from a wealthy family.The girl's clothing is made of very expensive and high-quality silk, and her family background can be guessed at a glance.The two children who seem to have no intersection in childhood are now holding hands and carefully placing the same lotus lantern. The meticulous movements are like treating a priceless treasure.
"Perhaps, you are right..." Zuo Ziling's tone suddenly softened, which made me a little dazed.While I was amazed that he didn't refute, I watched him put the lotus lantern into the river with his own hands.His long, slender, jade-like fingers seemed to be connected to the entire candlelight, and his long black hair, which was casually scattered, fell into the water along his shoulders, and his focused and serious side face actually brought a clear detachment.
I turned my eyes away, I didn't feel anything about his heaven-defying appearance.If you look at too many beautiful things, you will also experience aesthetic fatigue.
We squeezed in the crowd until Xushi, and bought a lot of things for no reason. As for whether it was useful or useless, I didn't delve into it. I just bought it because it was pleasing to the eye.
When I returned to the inn at Haishi, I was already so tired that I didn't bother to pay attention to Zuo Ziling's hesitant expression and went straight to my room.After closing the door, I fell on the bed and rubbed my temples.
I heard the news about Huangfu Huyi before, but I didn't have time to verify it because I was afraid of being discovered, and now it's just right.
I got up, opened the door and looked out, the door of Zuo Ziling's room was closed and it was dark, it seemed that he had fallen asleep.Few of the other rooms were lit.I retreated to the room and waited for about half an hour, and when I looked again, the whole building was silent.
I opened the window and meowed like a cat, three long beeps and one short beep.
After a while, a dark figure stood by the window.The figure is thin, not very tall, about 1.7 meters five, wearing a black turban, a black mask, the whole body is black, a neat short shirt, and a very neat long belt around the waist.
The eyes above the mask are narrow and sharp, and there is a long scar at the corner of the right eye, which is dark gray and has been for some time.
He is an octopus, Luo Chen's secret guard.
Before setting off, Luo Chen taught me the code, although I always thought that it was very likely that Luo Chen deliberately made up the code to see me when he was bored.
"Octopus, I have something to ask you." I looked at the gloomy black figure in front of me and got straight to the point.
He didn't answer, just stared at me with a pair of sharp eyes, which seemed to be glowing coldly.I shivered secretly, turned my eyes away, and never looked directly into his eyes. "Do you know what Huangfu Huyi will do four days later?"
He was silent for a moment, and his hoarse voice floated out with a touch of cold air: "I know, the right protector wrote and asked me to investigate."
"turn out?"
"Four days later is Emperor Haoxi's birthday, and Huangfu Huyi will bring his family to Qi Oak Temple to worship and pray for blessings." The hoarse voice that broke like clockwork still answered mechanically.
I sat back on the bed and rubbed my temples: "Then the third imperial concubine will also be there?"
"Yes."
"Are there other members of the Huangfu family besides Huangfu Huyi?"
"No, only Huangfu Huyi and Huangfu Lin maintained the habit of worshiping the late emperor's birthday."
I nodded, as if I understood what the eavesdropping was about.
Four days later it will be Emperor Haoxi’s birthday, and only Huangfu Lin, who is currently ill, and Huangfu Huyi, whom I am most likely to meet during this trip, will be worshiped on the late Emperor’s birthday. And the female voice at that time probably belongs to someone who can’t get used to Huangfu Huyi and wants to dispose of her Prince of death.
"Will you be accompanied by the army four days later?" I thought for a while.
His voice was still shallow and calm: "No."
No?This is a good opportunity.Since the third imperial concubine will go to Qi Oak Temple in four days, and there is no army guard, I can use this to get in touch with him and give him the letter.As for Zuo Ziling, I just said that I want to go to the temple to pray for blessings, and then I will send him away.
With the bottom line in my mind, I waved my hand and got up to bow to send him away, but I didn't see his movements after I bowed. I felt bad. I looked up at him, trying to find a trace of resentment.But he just took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to me.
The font on the envelope is neither sharp nor soft, but elegant and powerful. Although I don't recognize it, I can guess that it came from Luo Chen.
Holding the letter in silence for a while, I finally compromised, handed it to the octopus who didn't understand what I wanted, and motioned him to read it to me.
A master is a master, he has no hesitation and so-called twitching at all, and his hoarse voice is plain and ordinary: "Xiaoya, you have been away from home for some time, and you should have arrived at the capital of Haoxi by the time. Huangfu Huyi is not easy to guess." Few people in Haoxi said she was wrong, because Haoxi had a severe drought that day, she almost gave out all her family property and donated good food, and the people who received her favor were countless. She also seldom fought for favor in the court , in the eyes of outsiders, he keeps his own place and fulfills his duties, but I can't say for sure how it is.
You must be very careful this time, don't hurt yourself.As for homework, you must not forget to review it in time, and there must be no next time the octopus reads the letter for you.
Looking forward to your triumph, miss you, Luo. "
I felt powerless when I looked at the unemotional crocodile in my eyes, Luo Chen's letter was read out by him, ... Forget it, I can't care about it.In other words, he expected that I would let the octopus read the letter?Ahem, as expected, I still can't pass the words.
The octopus handed the letter to me again, but he disappeared before I could speak.I put away the letter, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The night in Haoxi Country is also quiet, but for me, this tranquility hides a shallow crisis. From the moment I step here, everything will be like a river, moving forward without turning back, without looking back the road.
