Chapter 19 Edge Vertical

【Ancheng·Qin Mansion】

It was early in the morning, and the smoke from the kitchen was coming out of the chimney early. The maid brought a copper basin, mixed some cold water, and then poured some hot water into it. Let it soak in.

Qin Leyuan sat by the bed, put on his cloth shoes, took the white handkerchief, and stood up.

When the maid wanted to change the water again, Qin Leyuan quietly stopped him. He turned around and saw Mrs. Qin lying on the bed with tears still in the corners of her eyes.

Qin Leyuan closed the door softly.

"General, the prince is here." said the old waiter.

"Is the tea ready?"

"It's brewed."

"Let's go." Qin Leyuan looked at the open door in the distance, and there was a person pacing back and forth inside.

"See the prince." Qin Leyuan saluted.

"You don't need to be polite, general, please get up quickly." Chu Yuechen quickly helped Qin Leyuan up.

"I don't know what's the important thing for your Highness to come this time?" Qin Leyuan took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the wooden chair to mix tea into the cup.

"General, do you know where Qin Huaizhen is now?" Chu Yuechen sat beside Qin Leyuan and looked at his expression.

"My Nier has nothing to do all day, wandering around, how would I know where he went." Qin Leyuan smiled and put the teacup in front of Chu Yuechen.

Seeing Qin Leyuan's unhurried look, Chu Yuechen felt a little annoyed, frowned and said, "I'll just say it, Huaizhen and I have been friends since we were young, and you must have known about it at the last banquet, General." gone."

Chu Yuechen pursed his lips and looked at the indifferent Qin Leyuan and said, "We always know each other well, but this time he disappeared suddenly, and even I don't know where to go."

He sighed and said: "It's a pity that there are too many people here, so I can't send someone to search casually. After all, Huai Zhen is your son. If the general finds out any news, I hope you can let me know."

After Chu Yuechen finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Qin Leyuan expectantly.

"The last time His Highness invited a banquet for his ministers, I really thank you very much. I can't repay you." Qin Leyuan lowered his head and poured tea into his cup.

"I......"

"However, what His Highness said has already involved the old man's family affairs, haha, you see, I have already begun to call myself an old man." Qin Leyuan interrupted Chu Yuechen's words, and sipped the tea in his cup with a smile.

Chu Yuechen was quite helpless, sighed and picked up the teacup, Qin Leyuan put the teapot in the middle after seeing it.

"If the general stands by now, I will look for him." Chu Yuechen stood up.

"That's your freedom." Qin Leyuan picked up the teapot and filled the cup.

"Farewell." Chu Yuechen bowed and pushed the door away.

Qin Leyuan continued to pour tea into the cup, it was almost full.

"Bang!"

When the copper basin fell to the ground, Mrs. Qin stood outside the door, her hair was loose, and she was wearing a thin pink coat, which was the dress she wore to the banquet that day. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, like a red-eyed rabbit.

Qin Leyuan looked at her with some distress.

"You said he would come back tomorrow." Mrs. Qin said with a sob.

"I said so." Qin Leyuan put down the teapot.

"But you just now..." Mrs. Qin's tears began to flow down uncontrollably, and she was a little out of breath.

"I also said at the beginning that I will come back in a year." Qin Leyuan looked at Mrs. Qin and said.

"That's right, anyway, every time you talk, you don't count." Mrs. Qin took a deep breath, bent down to pick up the basin.

"He will be back." Qin Leyuan walked up to Mrs. Qin first, and picked up the dropped copper basin.

"Do you believe me or not?" Mrs. Qin glared at Qin Leyuan and turned away.

Qin Leyuan's eyes were dimmed, he waved his hand, and the old waiter came out from the door.

"Madam heard everything." The old waiter said word by word.

"Go and get the silver helmeted spear from the storage room."

"Yes."

【Anseong Suburbs Ice Cave】

An iron pot was set up on the stove in the girl's house, and it was covered with a wooden lid. It was steaming uncontrollably. It should be cooking something. The girl put her hand not far from the stove, and her cheeks were slightly radiant by the fire. hot.

Next to it was the bathing room, and the girl faintly heard the sound of the wooden ladle filled with water pouring down from a height.

Qin Huaizhen entered not long ago.The parents were called to go to business, usually at this time it was the most critical time, but the parents were very relieved to let her stay here, and said that she would never escape.

"What?" The girl pouted and looked at the fire light swaying slightly.

As the wooden door opened, there was a creaking sound. The girl took a deep breath, looked at the boiler intently, picked up a small shovel very seriously, opened the lid and stirred in.

"What are you cooking?"

A deep voice came from very close, and the water vapor that floated out seemed to have a purpose and floated onto the girl's face, she instantly flushed, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her neck, her eyes stared straight at the girl. in the pot.

"I'm cooking...radish soup." The little girl struggled to squeeze out a few words through her teeth.

"Oh."

Qin Huaizhen was wearing a long white dress at this time, which was a bit thin, and there was a hint of sweet fragrance wafting from his body.Just now, the girl's mother enthusiastically took out honey from the wooden cabinet and handed it to Qin Huaizhen. While saying that it was good for the skin, she dragged the girl's father out of the door.

There is no way, the hospitality is really hard to refuse...

Qin Huaizhen bent down, took the girl's shovel, stirred it in, and stood very close to the girl and said, "It seems familiar."

"Ah... yes, let's eat." The girl lowered her head and picked up the porcelain bowl.

"Yes." Qin Huaizhen said with a smile.

"It's been hard for you these days." Qin Huaizhen walked to the wooden bed and put on a cotton coat.

"It's nothing..." The girl put the radish into a bowl, the bowl was still smoking hot, and the green onion was floating back and forth in the soup. She glanced at Qin Huaizhen's legs, where the indigo silk was still faintly swaying, and raised her head. Come and take a look, stunned, quickly buried his head down again.

Qin Huaizhen half opened her clothes, her collarbone was exposed, her fair skin was propped up, her hair was still a little wet, and when it fell on her collar, one or two drops of water soaked out. Her charming eyes were slightly bent. When the girl raised her head, she was Eyes met with him.

Qin Huaizhen came over, knelt down to take the bowl, and said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about going outside to have a look?"

"I don't know." The girl's hand was pulling out the cotton that came out of the hole in the sleeve one by one.

"Do you want me to take you to see it?" Qin Huaizhen said with a smile.

The girl didn't answer, but kept her mouth tightly shut.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huaizhen put down the bowl and picked her up, put her in his arms, and tugged at her flushed face.

The smell on Qin Huaizhen's body always makes people feel very comfortable. The sweet smell penetrated into the nose and slowly moisturized the lungs. There was a faint heat on his body. In this cold day, people couldn't help but want to get closer.

The girl's eye sockets were a little wet, she wiped her tears and said, "Are you really going out?"

"Well, it depends. What if you don't want me to go out?" Qin Huaizhen stroked the girl's hair.

"Then what if I don't let you go out..." The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, so faint that she couldn't hear it.

"Then don't go out." Qin Huaizhen's voice was firm, looking at the girl, he said, "Wait, are you going to cry again?"

"I didn't!" The girl returned to her original arrogance.

"Okay, no." Qin Huaizhen put her down with a smile, and bent down to pick up the porcelain bowl on the table.

He put the porcelain bowl to his lips, blew on it, and glanced at the girl, she was not facing this way.

"If there is a chance, I really want to take you to see Ancheng. It is very beautiful there, and there are many toys and clothes that you can't see here." Qin Huaizhen said softly, gesturing.

The girl turned around, the tears in her eyes disappeared a little, and there was a hint of expectation.

"I'll take you there when I have a chance." Qin Huaizhen said with a smile, putting the porcelain bowl to his mouth, rubbing his bright red lips on the porcelain bowl, seeing that the oily soup was about to enter his mouth.

"Wait!" The girl suddenly yelled, Qin Huaizhen smiled and put down the bowl.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"Forget it...my parents are coming back...they'll cook something delicious...don't eat this..." the girl faltered.

"It's okay." Qin Huaizhen smiled and picked up the bowl again.

"Oh, wait! Don't eat... you go, before they come back, go quickly." The girl suddenly felt a little relieved after saying this.

"Why?" Qin Huaizhen put down the bowl.

"Because I want to kill you, you have to go quickly, you can't even tell?" the girl said with a puffy face, her nails were almost embedded in her flesh.

The smile on Qin Huaizhen's face was less, but she still asked patiently: "Why did you harm me?"

"Ah, don't worry about it, let's go! If they come back, you will die. Usually they will be there at this time, but today they went out. You should be the one chosen by the prince. Although you don't have to die, you must be the same as the last one. , will be surrounded by people from the entire ice cave, and will never be able to get out!" After the girl yelled, she took the soup and drank it.

"Come on, now, go to the window..." The girl pointed to the wooden window next to the bed, rolled her eyes up and then fell down.

Qin Huaizhen took the girl, and didn't know what to say. To him, the trick in this soup was obvious at a glance. He said a few words just to tease her, and later coaxed her to escape. Unexpectedly .....

Qin Huaizhen saw that the girl's breath was calm, she must have fallen asleep, put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and walked to the window, suddenly remembered something, and took out a yellow paper bag from the interlayer of the clothes. Although the candy was not his, he believed that Master Yan Yue would not murder him, so he put the candy next to the girl's pillow.

Qin Huaizhen opened the window, and there was a group of people walking towards him from a distance. He jumped out at once, closed the window and door, jumped down from the other side of the house, and went to the boy's designated point.

A group of people were getting closer and closer to the girl's house, and they were discussing all the way.

"Hey, I talked to this man today, he looks good, our prince really has vision." A man holding a stove said.

"It's true, every time it falls to my house, it's the same, so I have to sharpen the knife every time. Last time, I chopped off a piece of the knife to get the bone frame." A woman complained.

"Hey, who is so lucky! It's fresh every time, and the prince likes it when he sees it. They don't use knives at home. They are all candied fruit and candied fruits piled up for serving and waiting for money!" The man next to him rubbed his hands and joked. .

"After all, your daughter has good eyesight! Every time she sees a good product!"

"Hey." The aunt smiled and touched her head embarrassedly.

"Should the man be down now?" asked the others.

"That's right, my daughter is an old hand! Come on! Let's go in!"

Here, on the other side.

Qin Huaizhen walked out of the courtyard, looked back at the light in the window, wrapped up some clothes and walked forward.

It was cold and windy along the way, the lights of the ice house were all turned off, and it looked deserted, the outside was covered with frost and snow, and there was no debris on the ground, like a world that had been abandoned for a long time.

He noticed a very special thing. Now there is a wooden barrel in front of every house, and there is a thin layer of frost on it.

Qin Huaizhen approached and brushed away the layer of frost with his hands. There was no candlelight here, so he couldn't see anything clearly, but it felt no different from ordinary ice.

"That..." A voice came, and Qin Huaizhen turned around immediately, and there was a black figure, which seemed to be about the height of his waist.

"It's you." Qin Huaizhen said with a smile.

"Come with me..." The boy turned around and walked forward, followed by Qin Huaizhen.

"What are those wooden barrels?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"They have bacon sausages for New Year's Eve."

"Your house doesn't have one either." Qin Huaizhen saw that there was also a wooden barrel in front of the boy's house.

"No, my family has no money, those are ice." After the boy answered, he stopped talking.

Qin Huaizhen followed him through the long snowy road, and came to the rare grass in the ice cave. The candles here have never been used, and they can no longer be lit.

"It's here, it can lead to the outside, last time those people were here to accept the things bought outside.

Qin Huaizhen walked over, brushed away the grass with his arm, and found that there was really a hole, he stood up and said softly.

"Thank you."

"No... I just can't get used to them... that's why." The boy blushed and replied awkwardly.

Qin Huaizhen touched his head and said, "Is there really no money at home?"

The boy froze and looked up at him. It was too dark to see any expression on his face.

"Hmm..." the boy whispered.

"I see, it's because you saved me..." Qin Huaizhen turned around with a smile.

"I'm leaving?" Qin Huaizhen said.

The boy didn't answer, Qin Huaizhen smiled when he saw this, went into the black hole and disappeared.

The boy felt a strange feeling, a little uncomfortable, looked at the cave entrance shrouded in darkness, he was relieved, turned around and walked towards the biggest house in the ice cave.
