Yijuan cloud

Chapter 269
When winter comes, the house is warmer than before due to the use of charcoal.

Linghua was afraid that I would get cold, so she wanted to add another thick quilt at night.

That day, in the second half of the night, I woke up and felt hot. There was a sticky layer of sweat on my back. I reached out and lifted the quilt.

What catches the eye is a halo of warm golden light from the setting sun.Gradually, the whole body of the indigo kingfisher, the unique red flowers, and the exquisite gold-painted cloud patterns... The entire red sandalwood carved tent ceiling came into view.

The thin and translucent shark gauze curtains were half-draped, and Linghua faced me, sleeping in her clothes on a narrow cot next to the bed.

I raised my hand to lift the gauze curtain and looked at her peaceful sleeping face.

Compared with before, she lost a lot of weight and looked more beautiful.

I just looked at her quietly for a while, then looked away.

It was the old palace, Liang Xianyi's bedroom, and now it has become the residence of a patient of mine.

On a high cabinet shelf not far away, a pot of ink orchid bloomed with purple-pink flowers.

This is the extremely rare red Dutch flower. It has just bloomed now. Later, it will turn purple and become more and more beautiful as it blooms.

"Cirrus—"

Linghua's voice was distant and unfamiliar. She sat sideways on the small bed, extremely surprised.

I twitched the corners of my mouth and smiled at her.

She was stunned for another moment, then jumped out of bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes. She rushed to my side, held my hand with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Cirrus...Cirrus, you...you... "

I raised my hand and put it on her lips, and tried to open her mouth. It took a long time before I could make a sound: "Don't make any noise——"

Her hot tears fell on my hands and she kept nodding.

I was so excited that I finally woke up, finally woke up from the sinking dream.

Even now when I think back to that dream, the pain in my limbs is still so intense.

I couldn't help but touch my upper body. The arrows were gone, and the brocade pajamas on my body were soft and soft.Those injuries have long since healed.

If my memory in the "dream" was good, it would have been two years now, right?But it was like a dream, as if I had just come back from the battlefield under the heavy rain.My heart was pounding.

In such a quiet night, only Linghua is by my side.

There were no tightly guarded Beijing troops outside, and there was no Liang Xianyi who wanted to take me back to the palace. I was still in northern Xinjiang.

"That's great." I said softly.

Even the sounds I make make me happy.

Linghua kept nodding.

I had been lying there for so long. I had a lot to say and a lot of things to do, but I didn’t know what to say or do for a moment, so I just let Linghua help me sit up.

Linghua pointed outside.

I understood that there was a palace guard outside, so I asked Linghua: "What time is it?"

Linghua looked at Sha Zhong, and brought me ginseng soup to feed me: "Chou Shi." It was late at night, it was winter again, and even the most conscientious palace servants had already fallen asleep.

What's more, who would have thought that I, a person who had been in a coma for two years, would suddenly wake up?
As I gained more strength, I lifted the quilt and said, "Help me get out of bed."

Saying that, I was about to struggle, and Linghua quickly came over to help me.

After finally putting on my shoes, I stood up, my legs went weak, and I fell heavily on the bed.

The idea of ​​getting out of bed and walking around didn't work, so I could only lie back on the bed and talk to Linghua.

Linghua said: "If you wake up, the palace people will know about it tomorrow morning and report back to the capital. The emperor will definitely come to take you back to the palace soon."

The candlelight flickered like water ripples, and I said, "I don't want to enter the palace."

Linghua was silent for a while and said: "When you fell asleep in the past, I always thought, when will you wake up? What if you just fall asleep like this all the time? Even if you wake up and have to go to the palace, It's better than just lying in bed like this, but if you wake up, I'm afraid of the future."

She murmured, then suddenly fell silent, took a deep breath, pursed her lips and smiled: "Cirrus, we have said before that no matter what, life will always go on, and I am alone. . But you still have family in this world, and, moreover, the emperor treats you sincerely. It would be great if you enter the palace and live a peaceful life."

I looked at her face full of tears, thinking about the night when Fan Li came over in autumn, Sudiya questioned Linghua, her parents were killed under the emperor's order, she hated the emperor's words, and suddenly realized that she had neglected this in the past. One thing.

Linghua doesn't want to see the emperor even more than me, right?But for me, she stayed by my side like this and decided to go into the palace with me.

I said: "Linghua, do you want to enter the palace?"

Linghua looked at me blankly for a few times, shook her head, and then shook her head again: "Who in this world can only live according to their own thoughts? Cirrus Yun, you finally saved a life, don't think about those things that you have or have not." Yes, enter the palace well and live well. Think about it, your mother, Xing'er, General Fan, Master Cao... which one doesn't want you to live well?"

I shook her hand: "I know. I just don't want to live in that place for the rest of my life."

After a pause, I continued: "Don't talk about going out yet. It takes a day to delay. Besides, it is winter now, people from Beijing will not come, and it is inconvenient to walk around. After this winter, talk later."

Linghua said in surprise: "How can you hide this?"

I thought about it and said: "There are a lot of people left in the palace. I have been lying down for so long, and they probably don't think I can wake up. Why don't they relax? Besides, you are serving me closely. People like us, can’t we two fool those palace people?”

Linghua was hesitant and held my hand tightly: "Juanyun, you are right, but I am still worried..."

"Then are you willing to go inside the palace wall now? You can only look at the four corners of the sky for the rest of your life..."

I lowered my eyes, thinking of the time I spent in Xiyuan, it felt like a lifetime ago... the time I was waiting for.

He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Come here, General Fan. How does he look?"

Linghua was startled, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stammered: "You...you all know? I, I didn't expect that when you were asleep, how did you know it was winter? You...can really hear us talking. ?”

I nodded: "Sometimes I'm asleep, sometimes I'm awake. When I'm awake, I can hear it."

"It's true." Linghua wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at me deeply, "General Fan is getting married. The emperor personally approved the marriage, just last month."

I was stunned, then thought about it, Fan Li should have gotten married a long time ago. His family had made a marriage arrangement for him before, but he canceled it. This time it was a royal marriage, and he couldn't refuse it.

After saying this, I suddenly felt a little sleepy, so I said: "This is as it should be. He is not young, and it is a good thing for him to get a marriage from the emperor. You go to sleep, I am also tired, let me think about it, How could you hide it from those palace people?"
