Bright Spring

Only Duan Xuehen walked slowly because she had no destination.Anyone who is on the road always thinks about where to go.

At this moment, there is no enemy to deal with, no danger to guard against.The Mu family is no longer her enemy, Duan Yang was also let go by herself, no one even wants to stare at her anymore.Suddenly, Duan Xuehen felt that he had become a superfluous person.

There is nowhere else to go, she just wants to deal with Mrs. Chen.How could Duan Xuehen go to the places that belonged to the Duan and Yang clans?She is not from the Duan family at all, but just a tool of Duan Yang's family, and now she is also a tool that has been discarded.

Duan Xuehen walked aimlessly in the streets and alleys of Kunming City all afternoon.

The sound of bells and drums from Youshi came from the city tower one after another. She decided to go to the inn to deal with it for a few days before thinking about what to do in the future.

But at this moment, Duan Xuehen reached into his pocket and found that there were only a few copper coins left.She was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that before entering Hanwang's mansion, she was doing the assassination of Mu Sheng... For the sake of dexterity, she didn't bring too much money with her.Then she was taken to Hanwang Mansion, never thinking about money.

Duan Xuehen frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that there was still some money in a yard that she and Duan Yang had passed by in Kunming City.

Duan Yang just left Han Palace today, will he be in that house?

Duan Xuehen sighed, she was too lazy to think about these trivial things, she felt as if she had no strength in her whole body, and just continued walking blankly.She doesn't want to go anywhere, just standing on the side of the street, looks weirder, doesn't it?

!!:!!

Chapter 257 The sky is high and the earth is thick

Only after dark does it remind people that it is already deep winter in Kunming.I don't know when it started, there was a light rain in the sky, and the weather became colder.

Duan Xuehen folded his arms, still maintaining his original pace, walking aimlessly along the street.If she encountered this difficulty in normal times, she would quickly find a solution; but today, for some reason, she simply didn't want to do anything.

Many years ago, Duan Xuehen also often moved around alone at night, but he never felt like this.Perhaps at that time, she knew who she was and what she wanted to do, and her mother always missed her more or less.

So now Duan Xuehen is occasionally a little bit lucky, glad that he didn't kill Mrs. Duan in a moment of anger today.At least until now, she has not regretted her decision.

As night fell, it was raining again, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

Duan Xuehen looked back and forth for a while, but couldn't recognize the way, and didn't know where in the city he went.The street was pitch-black, and the cold wind mixed with rainwater poured in through the vents and made a loud "woo-woo" sound, adding to the frightening atmosphere.

She didn't know what she was going to do in the future, maybe she died on the side of the road now, and no one would ask her any more.

At this moment, a carriage with a lantern on it slowly drove up from behind, and the road was briefly illuminated by the lantern.Duan Xuehen glanced back, her eyes were so pierced by the light of the lantern that she couldn't fully open them.

The carriage stopped slowly on the road.Duan Xuehen squinted her eyes and saw a tall shadow walking out from inside.It took a while for her to see clearly that it was Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu!

A few bright lanterns have illuminated the damp|damp and dark old street.Duan Xuehen, who often stays out by day and night, suddenly feels that the bright light can be so good.

Duan Xuehen asked in surprise, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Zhu Gaoxu came over with an umbrella covering Duan Xuehen's head. His voice said: "I'm here to pick you up. If you don't come in person, I'm afraid you won't want to come back."

Immediately afterwards, without further ado, he put a fur coat on Duan Xuehen.This fur is really soft and warm in the night when the light rain is flying.

Duan Xuehen couldn't say a word, but she didn't intend to refuse.

"Let's go, let's go back to the residence." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Duan Xuehen responded with a bold "Yes".Her face flushed slightly immediately, she lowered her head, and for some reason suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.

Holding an umbrella, Zhu Gaoxu walked towards the carriage with her.For a short distance, Duan Xuehen felt a little dazed, as if she was dreaming, because she never thought that it would be late at night, and she would still meet King Han.

In a trance, she turned her head quietly, and she could only look at Zhu Gaoxu's side face when she looked up. She had a faint feeling in her heart that this figure seemed to be the father that her mother said, and Mu Chun from the Mu family... But when she returned After a while, she realized that the man beside her might be slightly younger than her.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door of the carriage first, opened the wooden door, and helped Duan Xuehen to go up first.When Duan Xuehen raised her head and bumped into something soft, she realized that she had touched Zhu Gaoxu's hand; the wood she was about to hit was already blocked by Zhu Gaoxu's hand.

"Crack!" Zhu Gaoxu closed the umbrella vigorously, then jumped into the carriage and said, "Go home."

The man on horseback outside replied: "Deling!"

Duan Xuehen kept her head lowered and said nothing at all.Suddenly she was not used to it, because the only person close to her used to beat her or scold her, and she was used to it; now she suddenly felt protected by someone, it was so strange that she felt uncomfortable all over.

This carriage was an ordinary felt cart, but it was packed very clean inside, and soft blankets were laid under its feet.Duan Xuehen walked in the rainy mud for a long time, her shoes and legs were covered with mud, and the blanket was immediately stained.Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay attention to these things at all.

"My lord..." Duan Xuehen finally said, "What use is there for me now, is it worth the lord's treatment of me?"

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment, and said: "I am a person who is willing to do anything and can do anything for the people I care about."

"Caring?" Duan Xuehen asked a little blankly.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "I care about you, and you will care about me."

...Bringing Duan Xuehen back to Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu was in a good mood.After asking someone to settle her down, it was already late at night, so he went straight to the harem.

Charcoal was burning in the bedroom, and he felt much warmer as soon as he entered.In this legendary Spring|City, there are still times when it is cold, not only depending on the season, but also on the weather. It will be chilly at night when it rains continuously.

Concubine Guo Wei and several court ladies stepped forward and took off Zhu Gaoxu's muddy robe, boots and socks tied to his feet.

When the maids came in with hot water, Guo Wei told them to step back and came in to help Zhu Gaoxu take a bath and change clothes.

"It's so late, is the prince going out to pick up Duan Xuehen?" Guo Wei asked.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "This person is quite capable. Today I asked the brother of the Shouyusuo to watch her, and I found that she did not enter the Mu Mansion. I got the news in Youshi, so I was going to take her back to the Palace."

Guo Wei said in a low voice: "My lord went to pick her up in person, it's really nice to treat her..."

Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at Guo Wei's face: "Wei'er seems jealous?"

Guo Wei was noncommittal, and cautiously asked in a tentative tone: "Will the prince blame me for being jealous?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head with a smile and said: "I just think it's a little strange that there are so many women in the palace, some of them will help me take a bath, and some will serve me when I sleep. Wei'er doesn't take their jealousy, why does she care about a female assassin? I Didn't even touch her with a finger."

Guo Wei murmured: "I don't care how the maids get close to the prince, how they serve the prince... It doesn't matter who gets close to you. The last thing I want to see is that the prince treats other women well. And the prince likes their bodies , touch them, and say something nice to them. At that time, I know it’s wrong to be jealous, and I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Guo Wei in embarrassment, and said thoughtfully, "I see."

……

Within two days, the rain stopped, and the sky was immediately blue and white.The weather in the chief envoy of Yunnan changed suddenly.

A steward in the Mu residence, wearing a cloth robe and a hooded head, was talking in front of Mu Sheng: "Master Hou's cousin, Geng Qi, has been waiting in the living room for two hours, saying that he would like to see Lord Hou no matter what."

Mu Sheng took a few steps and blurted out, "What can I say after seeing him?"

The steward bowed and stood in the room, only said: "Yes." After a while, he clasped his fists and said: "Young one, go now, try to get rid of him."

At this moment, Mu Sheng thought of the old lady, and said, "Wait a minute. No matter what, I still can't be too ungrateful. I should let him meet."

The steward said again: "Yes."

Mu Sheng walked out of the room and went straight to the living room in the front hall.

Geng Qi looked haggard, seeing Mu Sheng knelt down on the ground.Mu Sheng was taken aback, so he quickly walked up, supported Geng Qi and said, "How can this be done? Isn't my cousin's gift shortening my life?"

Geng Qi lowered his head and frowned, "Brother Yu is here to apologize today!"
