Synopsis:The male protagonist will not fall in love at first, and he will be crazy about his wife after marrying the female protagonist in the later period!
[Article excerpt]
It's cold, it's really ...... It's cold.
Jiang Shu only felt that the surroundings were cold and biting.
Water, all around!
Jiang Shu wanted to shout for help, but the cold water overflowed her whole body, wrapping her impenetrably.
She wanted to open her eyes, she wanted to breathe.
But the water sealed her mouth and nose, cutting off the air from the outside world.
Are you going to die like this......
No, you can't!
She wanted to struggle, desperately tried to swim to the shore, but her hands and feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at this time, and she couldn't move at all.
Jiang Shu's consciousness slowly became blurred, and she vaguely seemed to hear Wei Zi'an's voice calling her name.
This...... How can it be? How could Wei Zi'an be here...... Maybe I heard it wrong......
Gradually, she lost consciousness underwater and slowly sank to the bottom.
Jiang Shu had a long dream.
She dreamed that she had fallen into a bottomless sea.
Cold, suffocating, difficult to move.
It was as if she was imprisoned.
Until they came across a floating log.
She was desperate to live, like she had found a life-saving straw, so her hands were wrapped around the wood, and she was clinging to it like an octopus.
But that wood is so strange!
Unexpectedly...... I kissed myself!
Jiang Shu was incredulous.
Maybe this is the fantasy of dreams......
………
When Jiang Shu woke up again, it was already afternoon.
She opened her eyes weakly, a little incredulous that she was still alive!
Jiang Shu wanted to get up and take a look around, but she was weak and couldn't use any strength.
"Awake?" The voice is cold and familiar.
Jiang Shu was stunned, Wei Zi'an?
In the next second, Wei Zi'an's familiar mask appeared in Jiang Shu's sight.
Jiang Shu's eyes were open, and her eyes were full of shock and stunned.
"What's wrong? Surprised to see me? Wei Zi'an smiled playfully on his lips.
After he helped Jiang Shu up against the mountain wall, Jiang Shu saw the surrounding environment clearly.
It's a cave, and it's snowing heavily outside the cave at the moment.
The cold wind outside couldn't blow in, and there was a fire burning on the side, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be too cold, but Jiang Shu was still shivering with cold at the moment.
She looked at Wei Zi'an in front of her.
Compared to his usual life, he is indeed a little embarrassed at the moment.
His hair was a little messy, and his clothes were a little dusty.
But all this is nothing compared to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu's hair was completely scattered at the moment, her face was pale, the left side of her face was still red and swollen, her lips were not bloody, and although the clothes on her body were slightly warm, they were stained with stains and blood.
The original white fur collar and cuffs were intertwined with blood stains and brown stains, and the clothes were also scratched by tree branches and rocks, and the delicate dark lines and embroidery on them had long been torn apart.
"You...... Why are you here? Jiang Shu spoke with difficulty, her voice so hoarse that she couldn't even tell that it was hers.
"I heard you're missing, and I've been looking for you all the way." Wei Zi'an reached out and touched Jiang Shu's forehead as he spoke, frowning, "It's still burning badly." ”
Her forehead was hot, and on the contrary, Jiang Shu's very cold body, even if she leaned against the fire, she still felt extremely cold, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.
Jiang Shu leaned against the mountain wall and shook her head weakly to signal that she was fine.
Seeing this, Wei Zi'an sat next to Jiang Shu.
"Rely on me." His tone was as usual.
Jiang Shu was stunned, if he was a little close to him before, he would be frowned at and disgusted.
Thinking of being in Wanhualou again, he just patted him on the shoulder ordinarily, and he looked disgusted.
Wei Zi'an continued: "The mountain bandits in the Minghua cottage have been wiped out by my people, and I have already sent someone to inform Jiang Beihe, calculate the time, they will come to pick you up soon." ”
"Thank you." Jiang Shu finally leaned on his shoulder.
"Don't thank me, you are also a fortune teller, although it snowed heavily overnight, fortunately, the river in Minghua Mountain is big, there is no freezing, you fell from the mountain into the river, there is no danger to your life."
Jiang Shu paused, and reluctantly showed a smile: "That's not it, princess...... This princess Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she is blessed with a great life ......"
The voice was very weak.
Wei Zi'an looked at her appearance and was a little helpless: "Your smile is more ugly than crying." ”
"Princess Ben... You can see all the ugliness of this princess. ”
"The princess is really joking." He still looks cold and unapproachable.
"Wei Zi'an..."
"Huh?"
"What exactly is your purpose and identity..."Jiang Shu leaned against him and closed her eyes and asked.
"It's all like this, still thinking about this?"
"I want to know ......" Jiang Shu's mind began to be groggy again.
Wei Zi'an stared at the fire with an expressionless face and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he spoke: "In the future, I will always know." ”
Jiang Shu, who was leaning on his shoulder, did not respond, and fell into a coma again at some point.
……
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the princess is awake! The princess is awake! ”
It was the exclamation of Yanxia.
Jiang Shu opened her eyes slightly and saw Jiang Beihe standing beside the bed, frowning, her eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine......" Jiang Shu's voice was very small and very weak.
The imperial doctor on the side got Jiang Beihe's order, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Jiang Shu's pulse, trembling.
After a while, he spoke: "Now the princess is sweating and the fever has subsided, but she needs to rest in bed after the bone of her left leg, and the rest of the abrasions on her body only need to rest well." The minister prescribes a prescription to the princess, and she can take it for one month. ”
After speaking, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the imperial doctor secretly thought in his heart: It's okay, the princess is fine, I was scared to sweat on this cold day.
Jiang Beihe waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go." ”
Jiang Shu wanted to get up, but was stopped by Jiang Beihe.
In the end, he couldn't resist Jiang Shu, so he sent Yan Xia to take a soft pillow and put it behind his back, and helped Jiang Shu sit up and drink water.
"Where's Chunxi?" Jiang Shu took a sip of tea and looked around her room, but she didn't find Chunxi's figure.
"The protector is not good, and she is punished to go to the courtyard and kneel." Jiang Beihe was still frowning, stepped forward to shake Jiang Shu's hand, and then changed his tone: "Sister, you should send more people to follow you." It's all my fault that I took Qiu Yan and Yu Dong away. ”
As he spoke, he summoned Qiu Yan and Yu Dong in.
Among the four, Qiu Yan's martial arts are the highest.
"Now that I have returned to the palace, naturally I don't need them to take care of me, so let's return it to my sister."
"It's not about spring." Jiang Shu explained: "This incident is too unexpected. Then he told Yanxia to help Chunxi in.
"Sister!" Jiang Beihe was rarely so angry: "Do you know how anxious I am? I heard you're missing, and I'd love to turn over the day! ”
Jiang Shu looked at Jiang Beihe's cloudy face, and held his hand with her backhand: "I know, my sister will definitely take them all with me next time, and this situation will not happen again." ”
After speaking, he motioned for Yanxia to go outside to help Chunxi.
When Jiang Beihe heard this, his face was only three or four points better, and he didn't stop Yanxia from going out. Then he turned around and said, "Qiu Yan, you go to the palace to report the news of your father's safety, and your father hasn't slept well for several days." ”
After Qiu Yan left, Yan Xia helped the limping Chun Xi in.
As soon as Chunxi saw Jiang Shu knelt down again, she already opened her mouth with a crying voice: "Chunxi did not protect the princess well, please punish the princess." She was also haggard at the moment, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
"Hurry up, it's none of your business." Jiang Shu waved her hand weakly and handed the teacup in her hand to Jiang Beihe.
"If the princess has any mistakes, Chunxi can't atone for her guilt with death." Chunxi lowered his head, reluctant to get up.
"It's all over." Jiang Shu looked at Chunxi's eyes that were already swollen like peaches, and she was also very distressed.
In the end, with the support of Yanxia, Chunxi got up and was limped back to his room to rest.
Jiang Beihe wanted to explain the matter of Huashan to her, Jiang Shu saw that he was dark and green at the moment, and was distressed, so he hurriedly urged him to go back to rest, and other things will be talked about later.
Jiang Beihe finally got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, took out a delicate small porcelain vase from his arms, handed it to Yu Dong on the side, and turned to Jiang Shu and said: "Sister, this is the scar cream made by Mrs. Lin, and it was inconvenient for him to come over from the princess's mansion, so he asked me to bring it over." ”
Jiang Shu nodded when she heard this: "I have him, thank him for me, you all have a good rest." ”
After Jiang Beihe left, Jiang Shu asked Yu Dong to pour a glass of water for herself.
After Jiang Shu took a small sip of a whole glass of water, he asked.
"How long has Hongu been in a coma?"
"Back to the princess, it's been two whole days." Yu Dong stood to the side in a proper manner and replied respectfully.
Qiu Yan and Yu Dong have been following Jiang Beihe, and their temperament is not known whether they are born or influenced by Jiang Beihe, and they are not as lively as Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant and Yanxia.
Jiang Shu was stunned for holding the hand of the teacup, and then spoke again after a while: "You tell the palace about the situation at that time." At the end, another sentence was added: "Word by word, no concealment." ”
"Back to the princess, two days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mrs. Lin got secret news that the assassin that night was a bandit from Minghua Mountain. So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went quietly with his cronies, and Mrs. Lin took some of his cronies up the mountain to find that the people in the cottage were dead and fled, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked for traces under the mountain and found you who were unconscious in the cave. ”
"Is it only Hongu?" Jiang Shu asked casually.
"The slave saw with her own eyes that the princess was alone in a coma in the cave, with a high fever that did not go away, and there was no one else." Yu Dong thought that Jiang Shu was afraid that his reputation would not be protected, and added: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to the outside world that when the princess was assassinated by assassins in the city, she had been rescued, and everything that followed was a last resort to catch the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"What do you mean?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.
"The emperor thought that the mountain bandits in Minghua Mountain were exterminated by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was very happy, and he had already ordered to reward His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness originally wanted to go to the palace to explain the cause and effect, but was persuaded by Mrs. Lin, and the specific reason Yu Dong didn't know."
Jiang Shu nodded when she heard this, but Wei Zi'an's appearance gradually appeared in her mind.
I don't know what happened to him now.
"I can't imagine that our indifferent and ruthless Highness will have such a day." The man who spoke was dressed in a goose-yellow brocade robe with gold trim, his facial features were a little more beautiful than that of a woman, and his charming eyes seemed to be able to seduce people's souls.
The guard on the opposite side turned a deaf ear and unhurriedly played a chess: "It's your turn." ”
The man looked at the chess game, threw down the chess pieces in his hand, and was sullen: "If you don't play, you lose every time." ”
Wei Zi'an didn't pay attention to him, picked up the book on the side and continued to read.
The man on the other side came up again after a moment, "Your Highness, what do you have to do with that little princess, so desperately trying to save her?" A pair of gossip eyes sparkled.
"She saved me, and this distress is because of me." Wei Zi'an didn't lift his eyelids.
"It's the first time that Your Highness has saved a beauty...... "The man smirked, "I accidentally caught the cold." ”
After speaking, he also looked at the empty medicine bowl on the table.
"Xiao Qi, are you very idle?" Wei Zi'an finally raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of disgust, and even because of his proximity, Wei Zi'an deliberately stepped back and continued: "Ordinary women are not as fragrant as you. ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wei Zian frowned and covered his nose.
Speaking of this, Wei Zi'an suddenly remembered the first time he saw Jiang Shu in Zhaohua Palace.
She has a faint floral fragrance on her body, very light but very distant.
"I'm here to report to you! That's what you did to me! The man who was called Xiao Qi pretended to be heartbroken, and he was a drama spirit.
"What?"
"You've been here for more than half a year, it's time to go back." Xiao Qi began to babble and break his thoughts, "Recently, Empress Xu has made another move. ”
"Got it." Wei Zi'an took a sip of tea, still unhurried.
"What's the situation with the old puff now?" Xiao Qi also straightened his face.
"Cowardly and afraid, he knows that I am coming, and now he just wants to kill me."
Xiao Qi snorted, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
Wei Zi'an didn't answer his question, just raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you really idle?" ”
……
Jiang Shu has been recuperating in bed for more than half a month.
The closer it is to the end of the year, even if Jiang Shu is resting in bed, she can feel the lively atmosphere of the upcoming Yuan Day.
"In the spring, it's hard to get sunny, go open the window to breathe, the house is full of bitter taste." Jiang Shu sniffed the smell of medicine in the room and frowned.
"Princess, there are two days left before the year." After Chunxi opened the window, he handed the medicine to Jiang Shu, and held a small plate of dates in the other hand.
Jiang Shu is bitter about the medicine, and usually eats a few dates after drinking the medicine.
In previous years, palace banquets would be held in the palace, and men and women would sit separately.
This year, Jiang Shu's health reasons, Emperor Dequan was distressed, and during this time, he appreciated ginseng and snow lotus every few days, and even told Jiang Shu that he did not have to participate in the palace banquet in addition to the New Year, and he could recuperate in the house.
It is exactly what Jiang Shu wants.
Jiang Shu held the snow-white dumplings in her arms, and after drinking the medicine, she ate a candied date, looking comfortable.
Dango has been raised to gain a lot of weight, and it is very cute.
Chunxi had to take care of Jiang Shu since her leg was recuperated, and Jiang Shu wanted her to rest for a few more days, but Chunxi didn't listen.
I only saw Chunxi today, "What about the three of them?" Jiang Shu was a little puzzled and ate another date.
"Yan Xia and Qiu Yan are in the yard, one is building a snowman, and the other is practicing a sword. Yu Dong makes snacks in the kitchenette. Chunxi replied with a smile, "Princess, that snowman in the smoke and summer pile is so big." He gestured as he spoke.
Jiang Shu nodded, "This year, everything will be simple on the first day of the princess's mansion." ”
After Chunxi got down, he packed up the empty bowls and plates, attached them to Jiang Shu's ear and whispered: "Princess, the slave maid went to Wanhualou and still didn't find the person the princess ordered. ”
Jiang Shu paused, answered, didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to let Chunxi retreat.
After Chunxi retreated, Jiang Shu touched the dumplings with one hand and watched the script with relish.
Suddenly, a figure rolled in through the window.
Just as he landed, Chunxi from the outer room rushed in when he heard the voice: "There are assassins!" ”
While shouting people, he protected Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was taken aback, and after raising her eyes to see the person clearly, she smiled: "Chunxi doesn't have to be nervous, my old friend is visiting." He paused deliberately before continuing: "It's just that this old friend of this princess doesn't like to take the usual path. ”
With that, he let Chunxi retreat.
Chunxi saw Wei Zi'an in Wanhualou, only to realize that he was reckless, so he hurriedly closed the door and retreated.
The three people who had just arrived were also blocked by Chunxi.
Wei Zi'an closed the window, as if he didn't hear Jiang Shu's sarcasm just now, sat down at the table by himself, and poured himself a glass of water.
"You're welcome." The group in Jiang Shu's arms heard the movement, opened a pair of heterochromatic pupils, jumped out of bed, ran to Wei Zi'an's side and sniffed his robe.
"After all, I'm your savior." It's rare for Wei Zi'an to be so shameless.
Wait a minute......
Why is this sentence so familiar......
Jiang Shu suddenly remembered that it was the same last time in Wanhualou.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu coughed before saying, "I haven't had time to thank you yet." ”
"And how is the princess going to say thanks?" Wei Zi'an looked at Jiang Shu with a calm face.
This question really surprised Jiang Shu.
Before Jiang Shu could figure out how to answer, Wei Zi'an said again: "It is worthy of being a princess's cat, and it is already like a piglet." ”
Jiang Shu choked, although this ball was indeed raised for white and fat, but Chunxi and they all praised it for being beautiful, how could they say that it was the same as a piglet.
Tuanzi seemed to feel Wei Zi'an's disgust, "meow and meow" a few times, and returned to Jiang Shu's side, looking pitiful.
Jiang Shu hurriedly touched and comforted it, it was very rare.
In the face of Wei Zi'an's pickiness and poisonous tongue, Jiang Shu hated it so much, but it was true that this time Wei Zi'an saved himself, Jiang Shu snorted and didn't say much.
"Wei Zi'an, I've been asking Chunxi to find you and have something to tell you." Jiang Shu suddenly remembered what was going on.
"What?"
"Yi'er took the credit for Minghua Mountain on your behalf, and I apologize to you." Jiang Shu looked sincere.
Wei Zi'an smiled rarely: "Princess, I sent someone to find the prince to come over with the intention of giving him the credit, after all, I blame you for being arrested." ”
Jiang Shu was puzzled.
Wei Zi'an continued to say slowly: "They may have wanted to arrest me, but when they saw me chatting with you under the porch for a few words, they wanted to poison you." ”
"So...... Do you know who paid a lot of money to hire mountain bandits to arrest me? Jiang Shu asked.
"Hmm." It's a simple word, I just don't want to say it.
No wonder...... No wonder Jiang Shu later asked Lin Fengzhi why he took the risk of letting Yi'er receive the credit, it turned out that Lin Fengzhi had already guessed his intentions after receiving Wei Zi'an's report.
"Words of thanks...... If Wei Gongzi doesn't dislike it, this princess will give you her favorite dumpling. Jiang Shu didn't like the dumplings when he saw him, so he joked.
Sure enough, in the next second, Wei Zi'an's disgusted eyes, even if he was half a room, Jiang Shu could feel it deeply.
"It's really unfortunate that I hate these stuffed cats and dogs the most." Wei Zi'an returned to the Jedi that called a ruthless indifference.
Jiang Shu had long guessed that he would look like this, but it was still very interesting to see him like this.
"However, then again, Wei Zi'an, you have been elusive all day long, and when you disappear, it is like evaporating from the world, how can I find you if I have something?"
When Wei Zi'an heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you and I don't know each other, and now we have nothing to do with it, what are you looking for me to do?" ”
Jiang Shu was speechless when asked, it is true that she doesn't seem to be so familiar with Wei Zi'an, but the two of them have already saved each other's lives.
Familiar yet unfamiliar.
"That's true, but Wei Gongzi, what else do you know about my mother?" Jiang Shu went back to what she wanted to know most.
"I have already told the princess everything I know." Wei Zi'an's eyes turned slightly, and he asked again: "After this accident, the princess is still in contact with me, so she is not afraid that she will have an accident because of my involvement?" ”
Jiang Shu smiled slightly after hearing this, shook her head indifferently and said, "If finding the cause of the queen mother's death will have something to do with your affairs, then I don't regret it, I must know how the queen mother died!" ”
"I have lived in the palace since I was a child, and I know that everyone has their own secrets, and the higher you are, the more you enjoy the eyes of the public, you must always pay attention to whether there is an abyss behind you." Jiang Shu stared at the thin veil on the bed and continued to speak slowly.
"You don't want to say anything about you, I have no position to force you, but you and I have known each other now, and we are not familiar, but we are also half friends, I hope you can tell me if you have clues about my mother."
After speaking, a pair of bright and clear eyes looked at Wei Zi'an.
When Wei Zi'an heard this, although his face was expressionless, he also raised his eyes to look at Jiang Shu.
The two men looked at each other, and the room became very quiet for a moment.
For a moment, Wei Zi'an looked away quietly, just nodded slightly.
Seeing him nodding, Jiang Shu temporarily put his suspicions about him in his heart and asked, "How did you know that I fell into the river at that time?" ”
"I met the Assassins who captured you on the way, and I wanted to know who was behind them, so I followed them all the way up the mountain. The terrain of Minghua Mountain is complex, and it looks like a labyrinth to outsiders, which is why the mountain bandits here are so rampant. Later, he took advantage of the night to slaughter the stockade, only to find that you had been taken away through the back door. ”
Wei Zi'an took a sip of tea and continued: "I guess that person will definitely take you down the mountain, so I went down the mountain directly, and asked people to guard everywhere under the mountain." Behold...... I saw you fall. ”
While speaking, Wei Zi'an's mind resurfaced the picture at that time.
Until now, he was shocked by his decisiveness at that time, and he jumped directly into the cold winter river, and even ...... He even gave her a breath under the water.
Thinking about it, Wei Zi'an's gaze unconsciously moved to Jiang Shu's lips.
"I see." Jiang Shu suddenly realized and nodded.
Wei Zi'an came back to his senses when he heard the sound, and took a sip of tea to hide his gaffe.
