Chapter 35: The Dark Night is Lonely
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it is the most lonely time.
The farce in Zhangde Palace in the morning took Deng Sui a lot of energy. When the night was low, his tiredness could not be concealed.
She curled up lazily in the comfortable soup bathtub, wrapping her arms around her. She forgot where she was, and also forgot about the sword and sword shadows surrounding the deep palace.
"Oh, why is I so clumsy?" Meishu quickly picked up the Peace Talisman that fell to the ground. "The talisman paper is wet."
"What?" Deng Sui opened his eyes lazily, looked at the peace talisman in her hand, and was stunned. "Where did it fall out?"
"I just sorted out the kilt that you changed, Miss, maybe it fell off at that time." Meishu hurriedly wiped the paper. "Why don't I take it apart and hang it first, and then fold it up after it's dry?"
Deng Sui only remembered: "I saw Suozi in the palace that day. It was the peace talisman he gave me casually. I kept it around my waist and forgot to take it out."
"Miss, there seems to be something hidden in this talisman paper." After Meishu wiped it, she felt that something was wrapped in the talisman paper. A thin layer was neither soft nor hard.
"Oh?" Deng Sui also felt spirited: "You open it and just look."
"No." Meishu carefully unfolded the talisman paper and opened the Ping An Talisman. Sure enough, a thin piece was wrapped in the center of the paper. It smelled like the bitterness of the medicine, but it was different from those round pills in the past.
"Miss, this looks like a pill..."
"Is there any handwriting on the talisman paper?" Deng Sui knew that Su Wen was a meticulous person. He would not do purposeless things. Thinking of this, Deng Sui hurriedly grabbed the white cotton scarf on the shelf.
Wipe your hands clean. "Show me."
Meishu carefully handed the talisman paper over.
After looking over and over again, he couldn't see any tricks. Deng Sui thought for a moment and said, "Go and take the candlestick."
Meishu held the small pill and handed the candlestick carefully. At this time, someone came in, and she looked at the door and made sure that the bathroom door was locked from inside.
Deng Sui stretched out the talisman paper with both hands and roasted it back and forth on the candlelight. Sure enough, the handwriting slowly appeared on the talisman paper. At a glance, he knew that it was the words written by sharpening the candle. "Dragon Boat Festival. Immediately sick."
.”
"Miss, what does this mean?" Meishu was scared and sweated. "Suanzi calculated that you had something wrong with your body and asserted that you would get sick after the Dragon Boat Festival? So can this medicine cure your illness?"
"It's just the opposite." Deng Sui sighed and said slowly: "This medicine is not for curing diseases, but for causing diseases."
"What does it mean..." Meishu looked confused.
"What I mean is that if you take this medicine, people will get sick. This is what Suanzi means." Deng Sui guessed that he was going to remind himself to avoid the edge. After all, the Dragon Boat Festival was quite unhappy, and she had already
Offended the noble man Yin.
"But why do you do this?" Meishu was puzzled: "Hasn't the glutinous rice incident and the sachet storm all been solved? Even if someone wants to harm the lady, we can survive without any harm. Why do you get sick at this time?
, I wish those who resent us happy for nothing?"
Deng Sui lit the talisman paper, and a wisp of yellow smoke made people unable to open their eyes.
She didn't throw it away until she almost got burned. "Where is the pill, take it over and let me take a look."
Meishu hurriedly handed it to her: "I don't feel good when I smell it. The pills look strange."
Before Deng Sui could speak, she heard the movement outside the door. "Miss, listen, it seems that it is Your Majesty."
Just after turning his head, when Meishu turned around, Deng Sui had already put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Meishu was so scared that she turned red. "Even if Suozi really has the ability, aren't you afraid that he would be bribed and wanted your life?"
"Cleaning the talisman paper on the ground quickly and don't leave any traces." Deng Sui took a deep breath, got up and walked out of the bathtub. His white skin was blown and broken, and crystal water droplets fell down his beautiful body.
.
Meishu couldn't help but be stunned.
"Still standing there." Deng Sui urged: "Hurry up."
"No." Meishu picked up the talisman paper that was not burned on the ground and slashed the ashes.
At this time, Deng Sui had already put on a wide bathrobe and wrapped himself up.
Meishu then took a clean cotton towel and wiped her wet hair. "Miss, your majesty is here at this time. What if the medicine is induced? Suanzi Suozi never said that the doctor in the medicine palace
If the traces of medication are found, then it is not..."
Deng Sui smiled gently at her: "Don't be troublesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, no one pushed the bathroom door from outside.
"Who is it?" Meishu deliberately pretended not to know, her voice full of blame: "Don't you know the noble man is bathing in it? Who is so frivolous?"
Liu Zhao only found it funny: "Is there any place in this harem that I can't come?"
As soon as he said this, Meishu hurriedly gave Deng Sui a wink.
"So it's Your Majesty." Deng Sui's tone seemed humble: "I am paying homage to Your Majesty through the door."
Is there no intention to open the door?
His eyebrows were slightly frowned, and Liu Zhaoduo was reluctant: "Is Concubine Deng going to take the trip like this? I haven't used the meal a few times in your palace, but I've been turned away and eaten a lot."
"I don't dare." The wide robe sucked the water droplets on his body, and Deng Sui slowly changed his clothes. Just because he broke in quickly last time, this time he specially ordered Meishu to lock the door from inside.
"Your Majesty said when he got up early, I would come to see you later. I dare not be negligent at all. I am ready to dress up and welcome you. I don't expect your Majesty to arrive first."
It is clearly a lie, Liu Zhao thought to himself, when has it been?
If you have the intention to accompany you, you can only take a shower at this time?
"I am... flattered by the fact that you are willing to think about me." Liu Zhao remembered the unhappiness last time, and his tone was a little serious: "But this time, the beech leaves will not fall again.
In your fragrant soup, let me return home in disappointment?"
"Of course not." Deng Sui walked to the door. The moment he touched the door bolt, he felt that something was pricked in his fingertips, and suddenly shrank back.
"Miss..." Meishu was startled and hurried over to come and see: "Are you okay?"
Deng Sui shook her head. In fact, there was nothing on the door handle. She was just a little timid. She didn't know if she had to pay for it if she opened the door. But if she didn't do this, she really couldn't be in this deep palace.
Establish a foothold. Over the years, the person she is waiting for is already strangers.
The women in the palace want not only favors, status, and honors. They also covet other people's lives anytime and anywhere, and plot against the lives and deaths of others. If they are not careful, they will be killed in the whole family and lose all their lives.
Deng Sui really didn't want to try this feeling of chills on his back.
She frowned and opened the door bolt with her own hands. Sirou obediently opened the door.
Liu Zhao stood in front of the door.
"Your Majesty." Deng Sui was about to salute, but his arms were dragged by a pair of broad hands.
"Aren't you asking me for peace through the door?" Liu Zhao looked at her with great interest: "My Concubine Deng is really different."
Deng Sui didn't know what the next sentence meant, but it felt strange anyway. "Your Majesty, the water vapor in the bathroom is too heavy. It's also cool. I'm afraid it's not good. Please move to the side hall and let me prepare it.
Xiangming, too, can speak quietly."
Looking at her gentle and gentle appearance, Liu Zhao shook his head: "I'll be spared from the side palace. It's time to go to the inner room to taste wine and talk."
Deng Sui's body shook, and his center of gravity was a little unstable.
Liu Zhao subconsciously expanded his big hand and rolled her into his arms: "How can you do this? You're drunk before you even drink?"
"Go and prepare." Deng Sui glanced at Meishu in a sideways.
"No." Meishu was so happy that she quickly retreated.
Liu Zhao helped her and went to the inner room.
Deng Sui doesn't like this feeling very much. She is not the kind of person with soft waists, she will snuggle in his arms and act coquettishly. She can't express her true feelings, and turns the fake into the real one. So this kind of close-up
Contact can only make her uncomfortable.
After entering the inner room, the lights have been lit and the wide bed has been laid.
Standing by the door, he saluted respectfully: "I pay homage to Your Majesty."
Liu Zhao nodded slightly and only ordered: "Go out first."
"No." Duan immediately retreated and closed the door from outside.
At this time, only Deng Sui and the Emperor were left alone in the inner room. "Do your Majesty believe that I have never murdered the daughter of Meiren Zhou, your eldest princess?"
The reason why I mentioned this was just to distract the emperor from the attention. At this moment, Deng Sui wanted to know what medicine Su Wen gave her. Why has it been so long and there was no reaction at all.
"If I don't believe it, will I still come to see you?" Liu Zhao glanced at her and chose a place to sit down.
Deng Sui was a little nervous: "Your Majesty believes in me, it is my blessing."
"There are no people here, you don't have to be so restrained." Liu Zhao saw her uncomfortableness and couldn't help but laugh. "Above the main hall of Zhangde Palace, you are neither humble nor arrogant, calm and self-control. Every sentence and every word are just right.
I think it’s hard to believe you. Why is the crisis over now, but you become more restrained and can’t even figure out where your hands should be placed? It seems that the first time I asked you, is it that scary?
”
Deng Sui couldn't help but tremble, and didn't know why he was so afraid of the emperor. "I am not afraid of Your Majesty, but... I have been afraid of everyone and everything here since I entered the palace. I really don't know what to do.
In this deep palace, live cautiously and carefully. You can save your life without hindering your relatives."
"Is that true?" Liu Zhao didn't expect that she would tell such a "big truth". He gently patted the position beside him.
Deng Sui looked at him and felt a hint of warmth from his affectionate gaze. He didn't know if he was afraid that he would be angry or had no other choice. She took small steps and gently walked to his side.
, and sat down with his hand.
