night snow full of clear branches

After I left the tavern, Wei Xue also came out. She stood behind me and said, "The story is not over yet, what next?"

"You're not mad?" That surprised me a bit, but I wouldn't be so stupid as to think she was interested in my story.

"Not angry, not happy."

That is, there was no response, "I should go back."

"Don't tell such stories casually in the future. The mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan." After Wei Xue finished speaking, she walked past me. I looked at her back and found her hanging hand, a touch of bright red slipped by the little finger .

"Are you hurt?" I rushed over and grabbed her arm.

"Small injury, no problem." She withdrew her arm casually. I wanted to care about it a little more, but I was cut off by her back that seemed to say "Strange people should not come near".

A few days later, I ran into Wei Yu, and suddenly remembered what happened when I saw Wei Xue was injured that night, so I casually asked how is Princess Zhaoyun?

"If you want to know, ask her yourself."

Talk about the attitude of dying, it choked me... I didn't bother to ask in person, since I said it was a minor injury, I think it's really okay.

Until I heard Eunuch Lin say that recently Princess Zhaoyun said she was sick and asked for leave and did not go to court, but she did not announce the imperial physician to see her.Could it be that the injury is not serious?But he couldn't let other people know, so he didn't call the imperial physician.

Standing in front of Princess Zhaoyun's door, I hesitated again, neither could I look at it, nor could I not look at it.If I read it, wouldn't it make her worry again, thinking that I know too much, if I don't read it, I can't bear it.

"Miss Qing Zhi, since you're here, go in, what are you doing standing there?" Wei Yu brought a pot of hot water and was about to go in.

"Oh." I walked slowly into the house, and saw that Wei Xue's shoulders were half-naked, one sleeve was not on, and Wei Yu was changing her dressing, and the bandage next to her was still stained with blood.

"What are you doing standing so far away?" Wei Xue squinted at me.

If I had known, I would not have come. From the moment I entered the door, I felt uncomfortable. "You're all right, that's good, I'll go back first."

As soon as I turned around, Wei Xue said: "Come back!" The voice was very soft, but very domineering.

At this moment, Xiao Yu has changed her medicine and is going out with hot water.

"I said, did you take the wrong medicine recently or something happened, you keep avoiding me." Wei Xue asked while getting dressed.

"Where is it?" It's not too late to tell a lie at this time.

"Really?" Wei Xue put on her clothes and leaned against the bed. I sat closer and realized that her face was a little pale. Now it seems that she concealed it that night really well.

"are you OK?"

"Do you think it's good or not for me to look like this?"

This kind of esoteric question is not suitable for me to answer.

"You were hunted down again? Didn't the queen have already been killed by you—" Killed, I was stared at before I could say the word, I quickly shut up, the principle of being careful when speaking in the palace was almost ignored by me again .

Wei Xue withdrew her gaze and said, "I didn't kill her, I sent someone to kill her."

Uh... Doesn't this mean that you killed it, is it necessary to distinguish it like this?

"Send someone? Light rain?"

Wei Xue shook her head, if I guessed right, she should have a group of people who obey her secretly.

After a while, she said again: "There are many people who want to kill me, not just the queen."

"Then you are really worried about living like this."

"got used to."

I heard a girl about my age say that I am used to being chased and killed. This feeling is unbelievable no matter how I think about it. I think I used to live a very peaceful life.

"Then take care of your wounds, and I'll come see you when I have time." In fact, I didn't know how to answer the words, so I wanted to leave quickly. Even though I had many questions in my heart, I didn't dare to ask them.

"Is there anything urgent? I'm in a hurry to leave again."

"Um, Si Yong said that he wants me to help with something later." Forgive me for not being able to make up any excuses for a while, so I had to use Si Yong as a shield.

Wei Xue sat up again, "You are not good at lying."

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, the atmosphere is getting awkward again, I have to go to Qingtian Jian to figure it out if I have a disagreement with Princess Zhaoyun.

"Forget it, pour me a glass of water and go!" Wei Xue rested her forehead on the back of her hand and stopped looking at me.

Water, where is the water?After looking around the house, I finally found the teacup and teapot.

"Here, drink." I held the teacup with both hands, and instantly felt like a little maid.

She didn't take it right away, but raised her eyes to look at me. I felt my heart skip a beat, and I cried in my heart: Don't look at me like that.

She was about to pick it up, and I passed the cup forward again. "Hurry up and drink." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he realized that the cup had been half spilled because it hit her arm.

This is really a shameful mistake, and I blame Wei Xue for staring at me.

"You say you can't even serve a glass of water, what can you do?"

I felt a deep sense of contempt. "Why don't you change your clothes." I saw that her sleeves were wet.

She waved her sleeves and stood up, letting me go back first.

"You'd better sit down, I'll find you some clothes." I turned around and looked for a middle coat in the closet, and saw that she had already taken off her clothes, and there was only one obscene dress left.

I saw many old wounds on her body, one after another, crawling on her snow-white skin, which was particularly dazzling. I really wanted to move my eyes away but I couldn't move them away.

"Give me the clothes."

I quickly reached out to pass the clothes over, feeling a little uncomfortable. Could those injuries be left by the people who chased and killed her before?

Having encountered such a situation, it is no wonder that she is cruel and merciless. At that moment, I chose to understand her.

"You go." She put on her clothes and leaned back to the bed. I could tell that she really didn't want to see me this time.

The day after I visited Wei Xue, I heard that she recovered from her illness and went to court.

As for being so brave, it's not good to rest for a few more days... But she is a person who has to do big things, how can she be as decadent and lazy as us.

"Qingzhi, what are you looking for after rummaging through boxes and cabinets?"

"Si Yong, do you remember that a miracle doctor outside the palace gave us a bottle of ointment, saying that it can remove scars." I don't know what is wrong with me, but I suddenly remembered this, and felt that I must find it. .

"Hey, just tell me and let me help you find it. It's no wonder your memory is so good." Si Yong walked to the closet, opened a small compartment, and quickly found a small one. wooden box.

"Ah, Si Yong, you are the best, and you found it so quickly." With a small box of ointment in his hand, a trace of joy overflowed in his heart.

"Hey, why did you suddenly think of looking for this? Are you injured?" Si Yong looked at me suspiciously.

I hurriedly put away the medicine box, smiled and ran out, Wei Xue said that I am not good at lying, so I didn't want to make up a lie, so it's best not to say anything.

"Qingzhi! If you get hurt, you must tell me." Si Yong shouted from behind, it can be seen that she is still worried about me, there is a younger sister like this, what can I ask for.

When I excitedly brought the medicine box to Weixue and explained the purpose, she froze for a moment and then turned cold, "I don't need this medicine, you can keep it for yourself."

"Why?" Who wants to have scars on their body?

"I want to keep those scars." A wave of sadness blew across her face, fading to the point where I thought I was dazzled.

Alas, I wasted so much effort to find it out, but you don't want it, Wei Xue suddenly felt that it was even more difficult to figure out.

"Princess, the luggage has been packed." Wei Yu came to report.

"Luggage? Where are you going?"

"You don't know, my father sent me to the south to inspect." Wei Xue seemed to be blaming me for not caring about her affairs.

I squeezed my eyebrows, remembering that I had heard Eunuch Lin and Concubine Min mention it before.

"It's fine if you don't know, I'm leaving tomorrow, maybe I won't be back until half a year."

"Is your injury okay, can you leave a few days later?" Can you rest for a few more days.

Wei Xue glanced at her shoulder and said: "This kind of injury, I won't be able to..." She swallowed back before she finished speaking, and then said: "You let me leave a few days later, I can understand that you Do you hate me?"

Hmm, I nodded and said, "I must be reluctant to part with it. There is suddenly an annoying person missing in the palace. Thinking about it, I'm really not used to it."

"Ha, if you say this, you are not afraid that I will kill you."

"I'm sure you won't." Her eyes told me she was only joking.

The next day Zhaoyun left the palace as scheduled. I stood on the high platform and looked at the chariots and horses. He ran out of the palace gate.

After Never Xue left, Concubine Min seemed relieved, and she stopped scolding Xunjia for being naughty.

In fact, Weixue is gone, and my life is still going on. Even if she never comes back, I will leave the capital sooner or later to live the life I want to live, but I regret it. I promised Si Yong that when she married me Leaving again, I feel more and more sad at this time.

"Si Yong, why doesn't the emperor propose a marriage for you?"

"I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?" Si Yong gave me a blank look.

"I don't want to leave the palace as soon as possible."

Si Yong's mouth flattened, "You want to separate from me quickly like that? Hmph."

"When I didn't ask."

Si Yong was still relentless, "Do you think you just want to leave me quickly?" I avoided her gaze, "It's nothing."

The two of them fought and fought until the end, and they forgot what they were supposed to be arguing about, and somehow the topic turned to Princess Zhaoyun.Si Yong said: "Sister Weixue is so capable, maybe she will become the crown prince. Do you know how many years there has been no princess in Xuanguo who has been the crown prince?"

"It's only over 100 years." I still have this bit of historical knowledge.

"Yes, it's been more than 100 years, I'm looking forward to it."

"If you look forward to it, then you should do it too."

"I'm not interested." Si Yong is not interested, and neither am I, but I know that to become the crown prince step by step is not something that can be done just by being interested.
