Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 89

The man didn't look back, but found no one in the haystack, so he raised the lantern, and whispered in surprise, "Qianmei!"

Before the words were finished, there was the sound of shackles, and a sudden wind rose from behind. When she hurriedly turned her head, Ke Qianmei stabbed him head-on with a steel needle between her palms.

He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but with a slight movement of his body, he stood still again.

A hard shot pierced his shoulder, then a second shot, a third shot...

He stood with his teeth gritted, being prodded by her, without even humming.

"emperor!"

Someone outside exclaimed in a low voice, and a figure rushed in, pinching Ke Qianmei's arm, but it was Zhuo Rui.

"Let her do it!"

Tang Tianxiao, who came here in disguise, still held the lantern, his eyes were quiet and gloomy, like the night outside the window that was too thick to melt.

"sorry."

He whispered to Ke Qianmei, his voice hoarse, as if he was holding his throat, "I'm useless, I'm not worthy, I failed you."

Zhuo Rui let go of the hand that was pinching Ke Qianmei's arm, lowered his head and retreated slowly, and gently closed the door.

But Qian Mei still pursed her lips and stared at him, but her black eyes were already clouded.

Tang Tianxiao groaned softly, threw away the lantern and hugged her into his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his own flesh and blood, so that he could never separate again.

Neither of them spoke, but their breathing was equally uneven, and the turbulence in each other's chests and the choking between their nostrils were equally clear in the still night air.

It took a long time, but with a slight "Ding", the steel needle she closed between her palms fell to the ground.

When Tang Tianxiao saw it, his eyes became brighter, he tilted his head and kissed her lips, then slipped into her mouth, chasing her softness.

But Qianmei's body was a little stiff, and she suddenly closed her teeth and bit down on him.

He trembled in pain, finally let go of her, stared at her for a while, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand.

She noticed that there was a piece of silk handkerchief wrapped around his hand, the material was excellent, and a small green plum was embroidered on the corner, and she said, "She wrapped it for you? Since I have received her favor, why don't you stay with her day and night?" go?"

After finishing speaking, both of them were stunned.

Finally she opened her mouth, first of all, Ke Qianmei herself was surprised by the sour and jealous words, she hurriedly turned cold, turned her head away and remained silent.

Tang Tianxiao lowered his head and untied the silk handkerchief, threw it aside casually, stuck the lantern in the crack of the wall, then untied the cloak and spread it on the grass, and asked her with a smile, "Do you think it's too dirty to sleep? Forbearance, come over and sit down first. The ground is cold after all, so be careful if you catch a cold."

But if Qian Meiwai wanted to ignore him, he just smiled and took the key to remove the shackles on her hands and feet, which weighed tens of catties, and carefully helped her to sit beside him on the hay covered with a cloak. , took out the comb again, combed her messy hair one by one, and removed the tangled dirt from the hair little by little.

She noticed a row of deep comb marks on his palm, blood still oozing out; and on the shoulder where she pricked with a steel needle, although the dark clothes were not visible at the moment, she also felt that the clothes were gone. Wet one.

When she harbors hatred, she will not be merciful when she strikes.

Although the steel needle is thin, the piercing is not shallow.

It won't cause pain like ten fingers connecting to the heart, but it's enough to choke.

But he just focused on combing her hair, and didn't pay attention to his little injury.

What's even better is that he actually remembered to bring in an unobtrusive plain silver hairpin, and tied his neat hair in a simple bun behind his head.

After tidying it up neatly, he looked at it for a while, probably thought it was not very pretty, coughed a little embarrassedly, and said: "It's a pity that I can only do this bun, I will remember how many times you do it."

She didn't know much about Zhongyuan's hair accessories, and she was not proficient in the few that she had learned so easily. Tang Tianxiao could see one or two of them when she was dressing up. Not easy.

There are no mirrors in the prison.

She wanted to feel the shape of the bun he combed, but just as her fingertips touched the wire, she was already trembling with pain.

He didn't speak, he held her fingers, sucked them into his mouth one by one, gently sucked off the dirty blood, spat it aside, then applied medicine, and bandaged her one by one.

When the intimate warmth surrounded her bruised fingers, she was about to cry again, she quickly endured it, and said angrily: "Since you want to kill me alive, why bother to be hypocritical now?"

"Who wants to kill you?"

Tang Tianxiao sighed, "I was just caught off guard! I was ready to pick you up, but suddenly there was news that Shen Du went to the Queen Mother to report a black case. When I was about to deal with it, the Queen Mother had already issued an order , I only had time for Zhuo Rui and Chen Cai to rush over and take care of you first. If those people intend to take your life, or impose punishments that may take your life, they will definitely take my handbook and stop them. But not until that point , I don't want to be stiff."

"You are the king, and they are ministers. Could it be that General Shen is more powerful than the regent and Marquis Kang back then, so you are afraid?"

"I'm afraid."

Tang Tianxiao raised his head, his distant gaze seemed to cast his distant gaze into the depths of the dim sky through the stained roof.

"I'm not afraid of them. I'm just afraid that they will cause a big disturbance and create another disaster. The countries in the Central Plains have coexisted for 60 years. During this period, wars have continued, and many people have been displaced. Five years ago, they were unified at the end of the Great Weekend, but they came again. After the Kanghou Rebellion, even the ever-prosperous land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River suffered a sharp drop in population and empty warehouses, let alone the north and south of the river. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the people have not been able to live for a long time. In the past four years, I have devoted myself to government affairs, dredging the river, encouraging agriculture and mulberry, and doing my best. Resting with the people, it's easy to get a little better, and I really don't want to destroy these achievements."

"Even if you know I'm wronged?"

"Since you have been wronged, you shouldn't recruit indiscriminately. Coupled with the fact that you are casually slandering important officials in the court, it will become a big trouble. Just investigating the case can last for a year and a half. I want to protect you, but I can't protect you for a while." Come down. Do you want to spend the New Year in this prison?"

"So, you, the majestic king of a country, let them bully the king and exercise power?"
