Heartburn - Chapter 111
“You, you, you…” I pointed at her, my fingers trembling lightly, and my brain was in a mess, but what I wanted to say was like a lick in my throat.
She didn’t even notice my depression, she still looked at me with a smile: “His Royal Highness, what’s your order?”
“Why are you here?” I settled, and suppressed the emotion that was shocked by seeing her, and the uncontrollable joy that was about to emerge-after being overwhelmed and overjoyed, it was Deeply worried.
“Why, I’ll be with you, isn’t it?” She blinked her eyes and asked innocently. The next moment her face changed, she became self-pity and loneliness, “Or are you tired of me and don’t want to see me? “
“This is not the point! You are the emperor! The dignified monarch of a country, if you leave, what should you do if you encounter military affairs! And…” The more I talk, the more anxious I become, and I can’t wait to teach people to turn back. “The most important thing is , Haven’t you considered your safety issue! I only brought four guards with me this time, so there is no way to protect you! Have you taken your own safety at heart!”
The thought of what might happen to her made me feel confused and almost lost the ability to think.
“Do you still know my martial arts?” She smiled disapprovingly and comforted me softly. Seeing that I was still staring at her with frowning, she pursed her lips like a sudden reaction, “Yes. You can’t remember anything, so naturally you forgot that I know martial arts…”
Seeing her so depressed, even if I am dissatisfied, I don’t have to say a lot. I think of comforting her, but I really can’t say it against my heart. According to me, it’s best if she can retreat and go back. The palace, as if nothing happened, so even if my trip ended without a problem, I would be willing.
But she didn’t know what I thought, and she didn’t appreciate it. She insisted on being with me, and even vowed to promise: “Don’t worry, I will not put you in any danger.”
——How can I tell her: The fundamental purpose of this trip is to avoid you!
It’s better now, not only failed to achieve the goal, but also feared and bound all the way… I really want to turn around directly on the street corner in front, just go back to the palace like this.
“Then, what about the political affairs? Who do you leave to take charge of the government? What would the officials say?” Although I clearly realized that the other party would not be moved by me and just leave, I had already given up on persuading her persistence. It’s just that she is still making the last effort in face, and she has raised a few problems that she will face when she leaves the palace. However, in the final analysis, it was just to convince myself that she was included in this journey. It seemed to be able to eliminate the gap and secret joy that had not been achieved for the original purpose.
I have to say that this is a meaningless self-deception.
“You don’t need to worry about it. Seven days are enough for me to arrange it together. If I encounter a very important and difficult to decide affairs, there will be a guard who will pass the message through the training of the Raptor, and the news will be received in half a day at the earliest. Can’t delay.” She said lightly, as if she hadn’t heard the implication that I didn’t welcome her to join, “As for the response of the supervisors, let them go and ignore it.”
“Okay, what are your plans?” I looked at her slim-fitting samurai suit, dark and straight, with the waist slightly retracted, to set off her upright figure-compared to a tall one who enjoys a lot of protection. The emperor, her figure is more like a tempered warrior, her body is full of unspeakable strength and fluidity. Hidden in the beautiful lined texture is infinite explosive power, which is undoubtedly a powerful and beautiful. Good coordination of the body.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but look at it a few more times, then quietly averted my eyes before she noticed it… I hope she won’t notice the burning on my face.
“It’s hard to come by, so I might as well go a little further, from the nearest Molin to Siyang, via Zechang, passing through Rongxi, Nanfeng, and finally to the Lingjue Temple in Xining…On the way, there is nothing Kuang Xidong. There is no Ling Wang Xihan Kuang, only me and you.” She leaned forward slightly, and in the already narrow carriage, she was very close to me. I could count each of her eyelashes without much effort. I can see clearly under her slender and slightly curled eyelashes, the deep and indifferent pupils, the gradual waves, and the breathtaking amber streamer, “I am your personal guard, Jiang Zhuo, and You are my boss, Jian Xin.”
“Jiang Zhuo? Jian Xin? Is it our previous pseudonym?” When I heard the name “Jiang Zhuo”, my mind was already faintly throbbing, and the name “Jian Xin” taught me even more. There was a deafening and unvoiced sound in the brain, as if the so-called divine enlightenment, the aura suddenly appeared-under the strong stimulus, it was accompanied by the sharp pain of acupuncture.
“Jiang, Jiang Zhuo…” I stared into her eyes and murmured and repeated the name that shook me. Before I had time to ask anything else, I fell into a coma.
——What does this name mean to me?
Why do you feel a heartache that cannot be extricated from the moment you just read it?
Jiang Zhuo, who is it?
Jian Xin…who is it?
“Wake up? Want to eat?” I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful and flawless face, which occupies most of the picture in my consciousness, as if my emotions were all affected by it.
After a few breaths, I remembered in a daze: Oh, this beauty who has concerns in her eyes, but smiles gracefully at me, has left the government of the Great Wu Kingdom and has to come willfully. My sister who served as a guard for me, Kwong Ximing.
——Well, accept the reality.
Touching my grunting belly, I nodded, straightened up, and leaned on the soft cushion she tucked behind me. I was about to ask where it was and the two who taught me to react violently. When the name had any profound meaning, the door knocked.
“Two guest officials, the younger one is here to deliver food.” A respectful female voice said through the door.
“Come in.” Kuang Ximing commanded without looking back, squeezed my hand, and asked softly, “Can you get up with strength? Why don’t you put a short table at the foot of the bed and just eat like this?”
“It’s okay, I’ll just go to the table to eat.” Except for the head and some dizziness, it’s not a big problem. When the hunger in the stomach came up, it actually overwhelmed other negative states, and I just wanted to eat faster. .
“Alright, I will help you over.” She followed my intention and smiled slightly. Before I could react, she squatted down, raised my feet with one hand, and picked up the brocade shoes by the bed with one hand, cherished and importantly. I put it on, and then put on another one. Then I stood up, gently held me, who was too dazed to think, and slowly walked towards the mahogany round table a few steps away.
——She, she, she is helping me put on shoes?
It’s not so-called wearing small shoes, but really put on the shoes for me in a gentle and gentle manner.
The movements are meticulous, and the look is as religious as if they are performing some solemn ceremony.
Although she has to pretend to be my personal guard, she is too devoted, right?
The dignified nine-five-year-old, but more considerate than ordinary attendants, but like, like… a prince who serves his wife’s lord.
Thinking of this metaphor inexplicably, I blushed, and quickly got rid of this unrealistic idea, and sat down at the table pretending to be nonchalant.
The guard at the door only glanced when he opened the door and put them into the food delivery shop, and then kept the previous guard state without squinting, and there was only an outsider in the room who was arranging vegetables.
I thought for a while, since she wanted to act like a show, I’m not easy to show off, so let’s cooperate with her.
So he pointed to the empty seat on hand, raised his head and said to her: “Thanks for your hard work, Jiang Zhuo, sit down and eat with me.”
If she wanted to stay by my side, she should have never used anything before-and there is no basis, that’s how I feel.
Especially after she heard me call out the name “Jiang Zhuo”, the look in her eyes seemed to be excited by the master’s appreciation, but it was far more complicated than that emotion, making me feel like I was The cooperation is not meaningless.
“Benefactor! Benefactor!” Suddenly, after finishing the food, the shop stood aside and waited for the order to step forward excitedly, staring at me eagerly and asked, “This distinguished guest, you are a simple, simple word? “
“Huh? You are…” This pseudonym was told to me by Kuang Ximin in the carriage before. It is rare that this shop knew it too, and it seemed that it wasn’t just talking about it.
Seeing that I didn’t deny it, the shop’s expression became more agitated, and without waiting for me to ask, he explained like a bamboo tube pouring beans: “Three years ago, the Jinhe River burst its bank and Xiangwei was hit by a disaster. The villain’s family fled to Si. Yang, you can be helped by the nobles and recreated by grace. The family often offers the benefactor’s longevity tablet. Today, God opens your eyes and teaches the villain to meet the benefactor again…Please be worshipped by the villain!”
Before I could understand the meaning of her words, I saw her kneeling on the ground with a thump, her knees hitting the ground really muffled, and my knees hurt.
“Uh, this way…you, why don’t you get up first?” I didn’t remember what she said. I went to see Kuang Xidong as if asking for help, but saw that she was curling her lips and looking at me. Her eyes were full of gentleness and encouragement. Nodded, it was affirmation of this shop.
“It’s not enough, you don’t have to worry about it.” I tried my best to smile, not to make myself look so stiff, but in my heart I only hoped that she would leave with a few words of greeting, so that I can eat quickly-I have been hungry for a long time. Once again attracted by the aroma of the table full of dishes, this feeling of hungry is really hard.
Feeling the hint I cast, Kuang Ximing smiled clearly, and said to the shop: “I remember you, is your family okay?”
“Everything is good. For the blessing of the trustees, my mother took over the work of the accountant. A year ago, she became the shopkeeper again and took the store. Life is even more prosperous than in Xiangwei. Today, it’s all from the benefactor!” Seeing that she was about to kneel down and kowtow when she talked about emotions, I quickly looked at Kuang Xidong, but saw her fingertips move slightly, and I didn’t know what tricks she had done. Can’t kneel down anymore.
Then she listened to her with a casual smile: “It’s a long time no reunion, it’s God’s will. It’s just that we are tired and tired all the way. It’s a little tired. Why don’t you go back and inform your family first, and wait until the evening is free, and then come with your family.” How about telling each other?”
“Yes, yes, the villain is abrupt, benefactor, take a good rest, the villain will stew some tonic later, and then we will retreat.” She has a reddish face, and bows cautiously, and then goes out in a hurry. , For fear of disturbing my rest, but it taught me to breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, I can finally eat with peace of mind.
After revealing this, I didn’t think much about it. I was full of Astragalus and Cordyceps Chicken Soup in front of me, Eel Cone with Eggplant Herbs and Mushroom, Star Bass and Chestnut Soup, Goose Palm Braised Lamb Loin with Grass Sauce…Oh, which one should I eat first? What?
Regardless of the image, he was bulging his mouth, and listened to the people around him with a chuckle, and looked at me with crooked eyebrows, reflecting my unruly eating look in his eyes.
Blushing, I swallowed the food in my mouth and glared at her in shame: “What are you laughing at.”
“I’m here, uh… happy for the club.” She closed the arc of her mouth, but there was still a slightly bright smile in her eyes.
“Oh, what are you happy about?” With a light chuckle, I curled my lips towards her, thinking with a bit of sullenness: If she doesn’t give a satisfactory explanation, I will ask the store to serve a special green onion mixed tofu with her-as for None of the dishes on the table are for her to eat!
Humph!
She slowly closed her smile, took out a clean and elegant silk handkerchief from her arms, gently wiped the corners of my mouth, with a focused expression, the softness in her eyes seemed to flow out, and meticulously Wrapped in it, almost unable to breathe.
For a long time, before my face was so red that I couldn’t help but get up and flee, I saw her smile faintly, like a spring breeze, and flowers bloomed for ten miles: “I was fortunate to witness what happened back then, and now I can see that your Highness has a profound and kindness. Good retribution…I am very happy.”
——She didn’t know how happy I was when seeing her smile like this untainted by the haze.
