Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

The windows and doors were not closed, and the cold wind was floating, blowing up the girl's lonely clothes. From a distance, under the flickering lights, it was such a lonely silhouette.

Turning the corner of the corridor, Hua Jianyue saw such a scene.

The picture is so beautiful, the girl stands quietly like someone's carefully splashed ink painting, which feels a little unreal.

However, he still walked over, getting closer and closer, so close that the girl's black hair slid over the back of his hand, which was extremely cool and gentle to the touch.

The quiet moonlight sprinkled on her face, showing such a sharp outline.

Who is she?

He wanted to ask her, but he was afraid of destroying the beautiful picture and startling her, so he didn't make a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, he kept staring at her back, looking at her slender figure, with only a snow-colored cloak fluttering on her body.

What is she thinking?So engrossed?So lonely?For a moment, he even wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he knew that it would be too abrupt and would frighten such a soft girl.

The movement of the moon shadow, the moonlight is bright and white, and the dark light is pouring.

Sprinkled on her hair, fell on his heart.

It seems as long as 1000 years, and it seems to be just a moment.

The girl suddenly turned around, her black pupils, snowy face, and blue hair flowing down her chest all fell into his eyes. She was as beautiful as a moonlight fairy, but he was stunned.

"Yurong, is that you?" He took a step back subconsciously, perhaps because he was afraid of blocking her way.

Bei Tangjin looked up and down at the man in bright colors and enchanting face, was shocked for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Is the Duke of the Kingdom coming to stay here too?"

As if the picture was too beautiful just now, Hua Jianyue still hadn't recovered from what she said just now, and said softly: "Why is Yurong here alone?" Blowing cold wind?He added a few more words in his mind.

Bei Tangjin said casually, "I'm here to take care of the patients."

"Patient? Who is sick?" Hua Jianyue's face was slightly confused. In fact, he wanted to know what Bei Tangjin was thinking here. How could she be so different from the one he usually saw?

"Why don't you go and see with Yurong?" Bei Tangjin suggested.

Hua Jianyue's long and narrow phoenix eyes blinked slightly, and said, "Can I see this person?"

Bei Tangjin smiled and said, "Of course it can, maybe she really wants to see you, but I don't know."

The confusion on Hua Jianyue's face deepened, and she said, "Want to see me? Who is he?"

Bei Tangjin smiled and led the way, saying: "The Duke will know when he sees it."

Hua Jianyue even forgot her own business, and followed Bei Tangjin in a strange way.

Walking to an extremely exquisite carved door, Hua Jianyue raised her head, and saw that there were four large characters of "flowing water is ruthless" written in extremely beautiful lower script on it.

He was not surprised by the strange name of this room, because the names of every room in this inn were extremely strange, so, seeing him now, he was no stranger to it.

The smell of red plums is very fragrant at the entrance. Hua Jianyue feels that this smell is very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that this kind of plum fragrance is on Bei Tangjin's body, but this plum fragrance is slightly different from that on Bei Tangjin's body. different.

The bead curtain was raised, and Hua Jianyue followed Bei Tangjin into the room. Before she could raise the bed curtain, she heard a woman's extremely vague and fragile voice.

"Mother, mother... Mother, don't abandon us..."

Intermittently, this sentence was repeated over and over again.

Hua Jianyue felt that this voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it at all. He was so confused that he turned his eyes to Bei Tangjin, only to see that her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and her usual ice-snow face had complexities that he couldn't understand. look.

Is it worry?Distressed?Confused?yes……

That look was too complicated, even if he was good at observing words and expressions, he couldn't quite understand it.

"Miss Jin, you are here!" At this moment, the bed curtain was lifted, and a woman in a snow-white robe walked out from inside. The woman's black hair was scattered, but Hua Jianyue felt very strange when she saw her outfit. , Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that the clothes on this woman were actually worn by Bei Tangjin on weekdays.

"Has the fever gone?" Bei Tangjin asked very normally, already slowly stretching the brows.

The woman who came out of the bed tent looked worried, and said: "Miss Jin, you should come in and have a look at my princess, hey, she hasn't slept well, and has been having nightmares."

Bei Tangjin nodded slowly, and said, "Xia Feng, this is the Duke of Qi, go and pour a cup of tea for the Duke."

Only then did Xia Feng notice that there was another person beside Bei Tangjin. She nodded hesitantly and looked at Bei Tangjin, feeling more and more uneasy.

Actually, the princess is sick...

Hey……

If Miss Jin sees...

Seeing that Xia Feng seemed to be hesitant to speak but stopped, Bei Tangjin asked: "Xia Feng, do you have something to say to me?"

"No, no, no..." Hearing this, Xia Feng hurried out to pour tea for Hua Jianyue. She didn't know that she was guilty and forgot to salute Hua Jianyue.

Bei Tangjin obviously noticed something strange, and his expression moved slightly, but he didn't intend to ask.

Princess?

Hua Jianyue was so keen to capture this word, the princess and maid who was familiar with Bei Tangjin was named Xia Feng, could it be Xia Sha?

"Princess Sha here?" Hua Jianyue turned her confused eyes to Bei Tangjin.

Bei Tangjin nodded, and said: "She has had a high fever for three days. If the fever continues like this, people will be stupid." As she spoke, she had already lifted the bed curtain and closed it. At this time, Huajian Only then did Yue see the people inside clearly.

The woman inside had jet-black hair all over the bed, and her flushed cheeks looked like clouds in the sky, making her already seductive face even more seductive, but the seductiveness lacked a bit of freedom and domineering, and a bit more frailty and helpless.

This is actually Xia Sha's sick appearance, she is like a drowning child, very fragile and helpless.

Her hands were very unsteady as she fumbled and struggled, shouting incessantly: "Mother, mother..."

"Is she suffering from the cold?" Seeing that Xia Sha was talking nonsense like she was insane, Hua Jianyue simply came to a conclusion.

Bei Tangjin nodded, and said: "Master, please sit down as you please, if the hospitality is not good, please take care of me." She said it very respectfully, but she had already sat on the bed sideways.

Hua Jianyue didn't sit down, but was still standing in the same position just now, looking at Xia Sha inside who was so weird that she grabbed Bei Tangjin's skirt, and then rubbed her head into her arms, those pure white arms He even hugged Bei Tangjin's slender waist.

What's even more strange is that Xia Sha, who was talking nonsense just now, fell asleep in Bei Tangjin's arms very peacefully at this time. Her even breathing seemed extremely reassuring. Xia Sha looked very well-behaved, like a child, with cheeks The flush on her face made her silhouette soft and lovely.

Hua Jianyue opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "She actually...what's going on?"

Bei Tangjin shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

In fact, for so many years, every time Xia Sha has a fever, she always looks like this, and she always has to rely on her arms to survive. She always thinks that it is because the smell of her body makes her feel better, but in fact it is. There is some connection, every time the whole house is smelled of plum blossoms, she will be much safer, at least she will not draw a sword to kill.Most of the time, she took off her own clothes and asked her maid to put them on, and it would last for a while, but after a long time, it would not work.

Therefore, Bei Tangjin is always wondering, is Xia Sha's nose a dog's nose?It's so smart?

"Are you going to stay with her all night like this? No wonder your face is so haggard. You might as well touch her sleeping point, so as to save you from working so hard." Hua Jianyue said with some pity.

But Bei Tangjin shook her head, and said, "It's useless, she can break through the acupoints in less than a stick of incense."

The more abnormal Xia Sha was, the more frighteningly powerful her martial arts became.

Hua Jianyue was extremely shocked and said: "This is really strange!"

"Then give her the medicine that can make her drowsy, it's not an option for you!" Hua Jianyue suggested again.

"It doesn't work. She has a very special constitution. She can automatically detoxify the medicine, not only the poison, but also the medicine for curing the disease." Bei Tangjin shook her head and said, her face became more and more worried.

Hua Jianyue was stunned by Bei Tangjin's words. Then, isn't Xia Sha's body invulnerable to all poisons?This is too scary, too strange!

"What did she eat to grow up?" Hua Jianyue asked in shock.

"The witch doctor in the Mandala Kingdom is very powerful. I guess they have taken some powerful pills." Bei Tangjin replied casually.

Only then did Hua Jianyue understand. He had also heard that the witch doctors in the Mandala Kingdom were extremely magical in witchcraft. Now that he thought about it, Xia Sha was the princess of a country. In order to save her life, these witch doctors Naturally, we have to study some weird pills.

"Huh? Yurong seems to be very close to Princess Sha?" At this time, Hua Jianyue realized something was wrong. Weren't these two people hostile in the past?Why are you so close?It's like a sister.

Bei Tangjin said naturally: "She is my senior sister after all, I can't just let her die, and more importantly, I don't want her to hurt innocent people."

"Injured the innocent? What's going on?" Hua Jianyue was very surprised.

But Bei Tangjin said very normally: "When she is insane, she will kill anyone she sees."

"Ah! What kind of weird person is this!" Hua Jianyue exclaimed, remembering that Xia Sha went berserk on the boat that day, and said, "Could it be like that day?"

Bei Tangjin nodded and said, "That's right, but it's more serious than that day. As long as she gets close to her, she will kill, no matter who it is."

"Then why is she so quiet?" Hua Jianyue was very surprised, she would kill anyone she saw, why was she lying here so quietly at this time, could it be because of Bei Tangjin?

Bei Tangjin didn't seem to see Hua Jianyue's surprised expression, and said normally: "She will calm down when she smells the fragrance of plum blossoms."

"Oh... no wonder!" No wonder the room smells like plum blossoms.

At this time, Xia Feng came in from the outside, poured tea for Hua Jianyue, and said, "Grandpa, please drink tea."

Hua Jianyue nodded, but his gaze was still on Xia Sha's face. He felt that Xia Sha was simply too strange, too weird!Not only does her temper not look like a woman, but her physique doesn't look like a person!

However, Xia Feng didn't pay attention to Hua Jianyue's expression. She just felt a lot more relaxed when she saw her princess's stable appearance. She poured a cup of tea, walked to the bed, handed it to Bei Tang Jin and said, "Miss Jin, have a cup of tea." Moisturize your throat."

Bei Tangjin nodded and took the teacup, stirred the tea with the lid of the teacup, and took a sip slowly.

In the end, she turned her gaze to Xia Feng.

Facing those deep eyes, Xia Feng bowed his head very guilty, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Jin, for taking care of me! Speaking of which, my master has not had a fever for many years, and you know that her special constitution is not easy to get sick." , This time, somehow! Hey, it was like this early in the morning after I came back the day before yesterday!" The words were words of gratitude, but there was a bit of blame in the words.

Bei Tangjin knew that Xia Feng blamed her for dressing Xia Sha as a monkey and squatting in the cold wind for most of the day.

But when did Xia Sha become so fragile?Not to mention blowing in the cold wind for half a day, even if it blows all night, she should be fine. However, Xia Sha has such a high fever, she somewhat believes it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to help with such guilt.

Hua Jianyue also heard the meaning of blame, but seeing Bei Tangjin's appearance, it seemed that he didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't ask.

"Xia Feng, go get some wine and wipe her body." Seeing that Xia Sha had fallen asleep peacefully, Bei Tangjin ordered.

Xia Feng nodded, and went to prepare wine and handkerchiefs.

But when she came over and opened the lid of the wine, Bei Tangjin had already got up, Xia Feng looked at Bei Tangjin's ice-snow face, hesitantly said: "Miss Jin, you should come, you know, my master is very disturbed Health..." Xia Feng said with a guilty conscience.

Bei Tangjin's face became more and more serious, because she felt that this request was a little too much, so she raised her hand and touched Xia Sha's acupuncture points, and said, "This is enough time to last a stick of incense."

"This..." Xia Feng was so shocked to see that Bei Tangjin tapped her princess' acupuncture points so neatly, her face was extremely ugly. If the princess knew that she moved her body, she would die...

"What's the matter?" Bei Tangjin was very puzzled seeing Xia Feng's extremely ugly expression.

Xia Feng smiled and said: "Hehe...Miss Jin, I suddenly remembered that I didn't do something very important. I'm afraid the princess will blame me when she wakes up, so..." Xia Feng was about to turn around, but Bei Tangjin grabbed his shoulders .

Xia Feng smiled guiltyly, but Bei Tangjin's face was extremely gloomy, and said: "This trick has been used, it's not working anymore, you'd better wipe your master's body honestly, lest it's too late to do it. "

Xia Feng knew that things were messed up, so he nodded and said: "Then, please wait for my princess to sleep before leaving?" The voice was pleading.

Bei Tangjin nodded and said, "Okay." Then he turned to Hua Jianyue and said, "Master, let's go outside."

Only then did Hua Jianyue turn her extremely strange eyes away from Xia Feng's body, and looked at the jar of wine that also smelled of plum blossoms, feeling amazed in her heart.

Even this wine is made from plum blossoms!

What's even more strange is, why did this maid let Bei Tangjin do it?

It's just that it's not appropriate to ask more about this matter, Hua Jianyue followed Bei Tangjin to the outside room with doubts.

Bei Tangjin personally poured tea for Hua Jianyue. Seeing the confusion on the other side's face, she knew that he was full of doubts, but she didn't intend to answer the other side's doubts. Instead, she asked, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Ming is traveling again. Didn't the Duke go with you?"

On the second day of the banquet, Bei Tangjin got the news that Ming Wang Feng Xitang actually left overnight, and he didn't know what was important, but he was so anxious.

Hua Jianyue laughed, and said, "Next month is Su Jinxiu's birthday. He was afraid that he would not make it, so he rushed all night." Hua Jianyue told Bei Tangjin the answer she had prepared long ago.

Bei Tangjin nodded with some understanding and said, "Su Jinxiu is indeed a very unflattering person. Presumably His Royal Highness Prince Ming wants to ask her to embroider handkerchiefs again?"

Hua Jianyue nodded and said: "That's right, ever since Yurong destroyed Yi Ning's handkerchief, he has been distressed for a long time, so it is just in time for the master's birthday, so naturally he can't neglect it!" Hua Jianyue told lies that were worse than the truth smooth.

In fact, even if Feng Xitang doesn't go to Jiangnan to celebrate Su Jinxiu's birthday, as long as Feng Xitang says a word, Su Jinxiu is very willing to embroider the handkerchief for him. Jianyue didn't believe it, but he really didn't know what Feng Xitang was doing in such a hurry to go to Jiangnan.

As if there is really nothing important?Really weird?But he was strange, he would still say that to others.

"When is the Lord going to leave?" This is also a question that Bei Tangjin is concerned about. As long as the two plague gods leave, she will be more able to act.

Hua Jianyue took a sip of tea slowly, and fixed her eyes on Bei Tangjin's face for a moment, but she couldn't find the weak and lonely look she had standing by the window, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Bei Tangjin was extremely strange, wondering what the other party was looking at, was there something on her face?

"Heh... I'm not going to look for him, but I think this one is very interesting, much better than the outside." Hua Jianyue said with a sudden smile, and there was a strange look between her eyebrows and eyes lingering on Bei Tangjin's body. .

Bei Tangjin let out an "oh", feeling extremely disappointed in her heart, but her expression was extremely normal, and she said again: "It will be New Year's Eve in a few days, so it must be that the Duke has not been together with his family for many years, right?"

Hua Jianyue glanced at Bei Tangjin's flattering smirk, and felt more and more regretful in her heart. I'm afraid I will never see her so fragile again, and I feel pity for her.

"Haha, family members, where do I have family members? When my father died and my mother died in love, I was the only one in the entire Qi State Duke's mansion. My father only had my mother and a wife, and I have no brothers or sisters..." Huajian Yueji shook his head normally and said.

Bei Tangjin was extremely guilty, and said: "I'm really sorry, Yurong actually forgot about this incident."

Hua Jianyue waved her hands and said: "It's okay, actually there's nothing wrong with it, so I don't worry about it."

Bei Tangjin nodded, this is true, it can be seen that Hua Jianyue's mother was as in love with Feng Xitang's mother, but Feng Xitang's mother did not die in love, but not long after the death of Old Ming King, she also died of depression, which is actually also true. almost.

And Feng Xitang's father is also a very loving person. He has only one wife in his life, but this woman only gave birth to one child. Therefore, Feng Xitang is the only person in the huge Ming Palace, so if Hua Jianyue and Feng Xichen didn't go back to Dadu, Ming Palace and Duke Qi's Palace were both empty.

However, there are extremely capable housekeepers and maidservants inside, and they have a very good view of the two mansions.

These two people are very unusual characters, and they are very skillful in cultivating people, just look at the fact that all the maids around Feng Xitang were going to die for their love that day.

Hua Jianyue sat in a very casual posture, leaning her head with her hands and tilting her body to see Bei Tang Jin holding a teacup. With a consistent expression, she couldn't help saying, "Why don't Yurong accompany me on New Year's Eve, so that I won't be lonely." He said this When talking, he looked at Bei Tangjin with a very sincere smile.

Bei Tangjin was taken aback by his thoughts, and said, "What did you just say?" She really thought she had heard it wrong, they had been fighting against each other for so long, and it was not a good mood for her to spend a good New Year's Eve with them.

Hua Jianyue is very thick-skinned, even though he thinks that Bei Tangjin will not be willing, but he is still very sincere, pleading with sadness on his face: "You know, Yurong, in the past years, Yi Ning stayed with me, this year Yi Ning went to Jiangnan , I can't keep up with his schedule, so, can Yurong accompany me?"

Although the other party was so sincere, Bei Tangjin felt that his thoughts were too absurd, so he said, "Master, you know that the New Year's Eve is to worship the ancestors. Even if I want to, how can I have time to accompany you?" The meaning behind the words That is, don't you have ancestor worship on New Year's Eve?

"Worshiping the ancestors?" Hua Jianyue raised his eyebrows. He had never worshiped the ancestors before, and those things were managed by the housekeepers. Moreover, he was only waiting for the last offering of incense. He didn't understand the things ahead!

"Yes, so Yurong didn't have any free time that day, please forgive me." Bei Tangjin said sincerely.

Hua Jianyue was obviously extremely disappointed, and said: "The ancestor worship will be over in half a day, how about..." He looked at Bei Tang Jin's tightly furrowed brows, and continued: "Why don't Yurong stay with me in the middle of the night? ?”

Bei Tangjin was really taken aback by the other party's thoughts, so she asked, "Why does the Duke have to be accompanied by Yu Rong?" Could it be that he was intentionally embarrassing her?

Hua Jianyue was extremely sincere, and said: "After thinking about it, I think there is no more suitable person than Yurong. Therefore, can Yurong agree?"

"This..." Bei Tangjin stared at Hua Jianyue's extremely sincere eyes, those black pupils were extremely soft, as if what he said came from the bottom of his heart, but she knew Hua Jianyue's temperament very well, where was he? Sincerely?Could it be that he came up with another ghost idea?

When Hua Jianyue saw Bei Tangjin frowning and thinking, she knew what she was thinking, so she immediately assured her: "Hey, Yurong actually doubted my intentions, but it's all because I used to always... Can Yurong let go of the past? Just reluctantly agree to this?" Hua Jianyue's expression became more and more miserable, as if mist had risen in her eyes, as if she was about to burst into tears.

Bei Tangjin raised his forehead, isn't this person acting too real?It looked as if she had bullied him, but in fact, if she was not in the Beitang mansion on New Year's Eve, it would be easy to be discovered. At that time, she would be the one who was unlucky!Her grandmother's temper is not generally difficult to coax!
