Chapter 852: He is practicing, is it your illness?
While talking, the carriage stopped.
The Prince's Mansion is not far from the palace, and due to the special situation tonight, Yu Wenyuan authorized the Xuanwu Gate to be closed at 3:00 pm, allowing them to return to the palace from the Xuanwu Gate. When the carriage stopped, the two of them The individual got out of the car with his child in his arms.
It was dark all around.
Shang Ruyi had an indescribable feeling towards this palace gate from the very beginning. At this time, he could not see his fingers. There was only a faint firelight flickering in the distant palace gate, but it could not illuminate it. Surrounding it, and on both sides of the wide corridor that leads directly to the palace gate, are dense pines and cypresses. Although they are planted very neatly, in this night, it only feels like two thick and tall walls, blocking the eyes.
The wind blew, and the pine needles swayed and rustled, as if there were countless figures hiding in it.
Shang Ruyi suddenly took a breath.
As if she felt her tight heartstrings being suddenly twitched at this moment, Yu Wenye lowered his head and held his shoulders: "What's wrong?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi did not speak immediately, but still stared straight at the woods ahead. He was relieved when he saw clearly that there was no figure hiding behind the swaying pine branches.
And Yu Wenye seemed to have noticed something. He looked at the pine trees, then at her, and said softly: "It's okay."
"..."
"Hurry back. Come on, the palace will be closed later.”
“Yes.”
Shang Ruyi recovered his mind and stopped asking the questions he had not answered just now. He followed Yu Wenye and walked forward. Tusheer and the others soon followed, holding a lantern and holding Yuanzi. Mariko, the group of people hurriedly walked back to Qianqiu Palace under the cover of night.
By this time, it was almost time.
Shang Ruyi asked Tusheer to take Yuanzi to the wet nurse, and asked Changwan to remove the hairpin ring for him. When Wuxue brought hot water and other things, Yuwenye also changed into a pair of light pajamas. Said: "You all go down, these things will be packed tomorrow."
Chang Wan and Wuxue followed the order and exited the inner hall.
The entire Qianqiu Palace was completely quiet until this moment, and the two of them, returning from the noisy Prince's Mansion, seemed to have only found a moment of tranquility until this moment.
Yu Wenye stood up and walked to the copper basin. He was leaning over to wash his face, but suddenly stopped.
Shang Ruyi was combing her hair in front of the dressing mirror. Through the mirror, she saw him looking at the copper basin in a daze. She couldn't help but turn her head. There was a candlestick next to Yu Wenye. The candlelight illuminated the warm water in the basin and the surface of the basin. The swaying, uncertain waves also reflected on Yu Wenye's face, and in his eyes, his whole body seemed to be quiet and turbulent at the same time, and his mind did not know where and when it flew to at this moment.
Shang Ruyi stood up and walked to his side: "What are you thinking about?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye's pupils reflected in the water trembled slightly After a moment, he glanced at her through the reflection in the water and said, "I'm thinking about Brother Huang."
Yuwen Sui...
Shang Ruyi immediately thought of her last question. Because she was interrupted, Yu Wenye had not answered her until now, so she said: "Are you thinking, once?"
"..."
Yu Wenye was silent again, and gave a low "hmm".
Then he leaned down, picked up a handful of water and poured it on his face. The water was still a little hot when it was delivered, but now it has become warm, and the fumigation caused the alcohol smell in his body to gradually rise. , not only his face turned redder, but even the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little red. Until this moment, he seemed to be drunk.
Shang Ruyi didn't say much, just handed him a towel and asked him to wipe it clean. He also washed himself hastily, and the two finally went to bed before the fourth watch.
Except for some nights when Yu Wenye’s indulgent demands might keep Shang Ruyi up all night, they usually didn’t sleep too late. Besides, they spent the whole afternoon at the Prince’s Mansion dealing with officials at all levels, and there were even lakes at night Both of them were very tired from the confrontation. But as soon as he lay down, his tiredness seemed to be driven away by something. Two pairs of bright eyes faced each other in the darkness, and he could clearly see the confusion and desolation in each other's eyes.
Shang Ruyi finally said: "伱——"
At the same time as she spoke, Yu Wenye also spoke, but his voice was unexpectedly hoarse, as if the fatigue was still with him after all. Showing some strength, he said hoarsely: "You remember what I said, I was sick once when I was a child."
Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered again in the darkness.
Of course I didn't forget it.
Even just a few days ago, when Yu Wenye refused to let her go to deliver the spirit to Duke Shenwu on the pretext of her physical weakness, she retorted to him, saying that he was also a human being and had been sick before. Why look down on yourself.
At that time, Yu Wenye’s expression was very strange.
He said to her - I was sick that time, but it was not because of weakness.
After that sentence rang in his mind, Shang Ruyi almost immediately asked: "What's the reason for that?"
And Yu Wenye seemed to have thought that the two of them had mentioned this matter a few days ago, and naturally understood that this sudden question was a continuation of his previous words. He breathed slightly, but still did not answer, but continued. : "Then do you still remember, I said, what happened after I got sick?"
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
When Yu Wenye told her these things, they were on their way back to Chang'an from Jiangdu, and they had just experienced someone rolling down huge rocks on their carriage in the valley, almost killing them. More than a year has passed since the incident at the scene.
However, her memory is not bad. As soon as she thought about it, she whispered: "I remember you said that you got sick when you were very young, but the medicine and stone failed to work, and you almost died—— , later, your parents went to Dayan Temple to pray for you, and you recovered."
"Yes."
"Then..."
The deep and thick voice of Yu Wenye in his memory sounded more and more clearly in his ears. Shang Ruyi suddenly shuddered, as if another cold wind had penetrated into the quilt, but Jin was clearly covered with it. She was covered tightly, and Yu Wenye also hugged her tightly. His body temperature was constantly flowing against her skin. It was so warm that there was no possibility of cold wind blowing in.
It was more like the chill in her heart.
And she also recalled the words Yu Wenye once said to her as if unintentionally. Each word was lower, deeper, and more trembling than the last word: "Later, you were at home. I didn’t see him, but after asking, I found out that he went to Dayan Temple to listen to the Zen master’s lectures, but refused to come back.”
“…”
"After that, he often went to live in temples. Later, he left home to travel and began to practice."
Yu Wenye nodded gently: "Yes."
Shang Ruyi walked out of his arms He raised his head, looked at his stern eyes that seemed a bit desolate, and said in a deep voice: "He is practicing, your illness -?"
