Chapter 38: Crane in a Flower Cage
It wasn’t until he raised his eyebrows and looked over that Liang Huan woke up from a dream and explained: "Wang Su was stabbed before. From then on, anyone who gets close will have to undergo physical examination." Changing clothes, taking out hairpins and spreading them out."
Lu Xiu glanced at her from top to bottom, her appearance was indeed checked thoroughly.
Seeing him withdraw his gaze, Liang Huan said again, "That day, Zhang Shi was killed not only to protect himself out of desperation, but also to breathe a sigh of relief, but the price was to put himself in greater danger. Even though I don't regret killing him, but now that I think about it, it is not necessary to do it myself, especially when the enemy is strong and we are weak, we should not show off our anger.
Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom, so this is the reason. Even if I really had the hairpin, I would not do it directly, but would choose to kill Wang Su with a borrowed knife. After all, if I really killed Wang Su, I would never be as lucky as last time——"
Speaking of luck, Liang Huan frowned. Could it be that Zhou Yun was entrusted by him to help him today?
She thought on one side and immediately denied it on the other. This was not overestimating herself, but underestimating him.
“You learn pretty quickly!”
While thinking, Lu Xiu wiped off the blood and looked over, “I don’t like to drink cold tea.”
< br>Liang Huan was stunned, and hurriedly got up, tried the sobering tea on the test table, and took it carefully, "It's not cold yet."
Lu Xiu took it casually, but did not drink it. He just stared at the cup, "It's boring to drink alone."
She couldn't help but sweat. I wonder if it was because of being drunk. He was very different tonight. , who wants to drink sobering tea with someone else?
"What do you mean, sir?"
Lu Xiu tilted his head, lowered his thick and long eyelashes, and concealed the emotion in his eyes: "Go and finish the remaining wine."
Liang Huan turned to look at the wine glass on the table and frowned.
So everyone has two sides? She could never have imagined that the murderous, cold-blooded Taishi Lu in her previous life would look like this and act like this when she was slightly drunk...
Liang Huan did not dare to disobey and took a sip. At the corner of his lips, he reached out to hold the wine glass, but felt uncomfortable touching the body of the glass, so he suddenly picked up the wine bottle.
"Although it was unintentional, Sir, Zhou Shaobao saved me for the sake of Sir. Liang Huan is very grateful."
After running around for a day, after many twists and turns, not only did he fail The expected plan also affected Wang Tingyue, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
She also knew that it was no coincidence that Zhou Yun was waiting there. If possible, she only hoped to save Wang Tingyue, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. Based on her understanding of Lu Xiu, not only would he not If you help her, I'm afraid you'll be tempted to test her.
She had already been anxious once, so she might as well wait until tomorrow to see how things would develop before making any plans -
Thinking of this, she raised her head and drank hard, the spicy liquid burning all the way and sliding into her stomach, stinging her Tears flowed freely. It was true that I had never been forced to do something by a tyrant before, but this was the first time I had done it to myself.
She coughed and drank at the same time, just intermittently, and she drank half of the bottle of wine.
Liang Han shook the wine bottle and made sure not a drop was left in it before putting it back on the table. Within a moment, a fire was lit in her stomach and her whole body was on fire. Quickly, even the things you look at are shaking in front of your eyes.
After drinking, his whole body was full of courage. Liang Huan shook his head and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't lift his head while covering his stomach. "Are you satisfied, sir? Is it interesting?"
Lu Xiu looked at the corners of her eyes that were turning red, squinted his eyes, drank the tea in silence, put down the cup, and pulled her forward, "You are still far from it!"
< br>She was injured on the ground, and after drinking, she became even more top-heavy and unsteady. She was pulled by him unprepared and fell in front of him again.
Liang Huan was drowsy and nodded while holding back her nausea, knowing in her heart that she was still far away. She looked up at him with red eyes, her eyes wandering and her tone firm: "It doesn't matter, I will learn!"
However, she was really dizzy at the moment and just wanted to rest for a while.
Lu Xiu saw that the head was nodding and there was no movement, but within a moment, her whole body was limp in his lap.
Lu Xiu looked at the wrinkled hem of her clothes with a sullen face. He originally wanted to give her a try, but he was so inexperienced that he impatiently picked her up and hugged her. Throw it on the carved bed in the inner room.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to turn around, she grabbed the corner of his clothes and held on tightly. His lowered eyes were clear and bright, not at all like he had been drinking.
Lu Xiu wanted to take out the hem of his clothes, but she pulled him tightly. He couldn't do anything, so he had to sit down on the edge of the bed, turned his face sideways, and his eyes fell on the bite marks on her neck inadvertently. The clouds are so dense that they seem to be able to wring out wind and rain.
I wanted to give it up, but she bumped into it again. It was really interesting to recall that long and ridiculous engagement.
But the drunken man on the bed had no idea that red clouds were floating on his cheeks as white as jade, his blurred black eyes were filled with water, and some of his cherry lips were dripping red, and he was murmuring in his mouth.
When the words fell into his ears, a smile gradually appeared in Lu Xiu's heavy eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to touch the soft pink neck, suddenly remembering the bright and brisk shadow of the past, and couldn't help but look complicated.
She has changed a lot, like a piece of fine porcelain that was accidentally broken by someone's hand. What he sees in front of him is just the sticky remains that have been reassembled. He really wants to know whether this remains will be stronger than before. Or will it shatter into pieces again at the slightest touch?
Lu Xiu retracted his hand, opened her fingers, and pulled out the corner of her clothes.
Before leaving, he paused briefly at the door.
“Watch carefully.”
The birds singing outside the window were crisp and clear, and a few rays of sunlight came in through the window, falling on her body warmly.
Liang Han rubbed his eyes and struggled to get up from the bed. His throat was dry, his stomach was churning uncomfortably, and what was worse, his head hurt badly.
She held her heavy head and looked around. There was a splendid orchid hanging in the room, and the furnishings in the room were gorgeous and extravagant. Even though the people of Qi had always loved luxury, this was definitely not something ordinary officials could have.
Liang Huan's head hurt more and more. Where is this?
As soon as my toes touched the ground, I heard footsteps coming in from outside.
The visitor walked around the red sandalwood tablet (yi) painted with birds and animals, and they were two maids with submissive features.
"Madam, you are awake. You have been injured on your foot. The doctor said you need to rest."
Liang Huan then noticed that someone had applied medicine to the ankle at some point. . After the maid finished speaking, she stepped forward to help her, while the other one went to get water to wash herself with.
It wasn't until she left the inner room that she discovered that this was the same room where Lu Xiu drank last night. She didn't expect that Lu Xiu would leave her here, let alone stay there for several days.
She didn’t know whether Prime Minister Cao had attacked Wang Su, or what Wang Tingyue’s situation was. Her daily activities were limited to this room. She expected Lu Xiu to come see her once, but the only result was that The only person she could see was the doctor who came to treat her ankle every day.
From being restless at the beginning, she is now able to calm down and sit in front of the case and read a book or two.
The early sunshine shines on Xuanfu. Liang Huan stands in front of the bead window, looking at the eaves in the distance. How long does Lu Xiu plan to trap her here?
