After Dawn Chapter 129: Su Qingran (4)
The waiting time is always very long, especially when there is hope in the heart.
Su Qingran sat by the window and looked out. The peach blossoms had all withered away, and the crushed petals could still be vaguely seen on the ground mixed in the soil, and the original fresh color could hardly be seen.
"Why isn't Ajin here yet?"
She sighs again.
"Are you in a hurry, miss?" asked the maid who was with her, "The journey from Beijing to Jiangcheng is a long way off, so I have to make some preparations when I go back. This time, it won't last for two or three months. ."
It is naturally impossible for Dugujin to let Su Qingran follow her without a name, but if he wants to formally ask for Su Qingran's marriage, it will take a lot of effort, and there are still more things he needs to do.
"Could it be that Miss misses Uncle?" the maid teased, "It seems that Miss really has a deep affection for Uncle. Uncle has only been away for a few days. But according to me, in the future, Miss and Uncle will spend more time together. There are too many, and the most urgent thing for you is to get the wedding dress out."
"Don't worry about the wedding dress," Su Qingran said, putting down the needle and thread in her hand, in fact, what she embroidered was just a hijab, "A Jin said, I just use it as a hijab and his underwear. , and the rest he will arrange for me."
"I think he does." She admitted generously, not showing much embarrassment on her face, instead she looked a little sad, "What I'm worried about is what happens in the middle?"
"What change will happen?" The maid asked in confusion, and then persuaded, "Oh, miss, you are unfounded, and the uncle is the current king of Jin, what other changes can make the two of you fail to get married or not? ?"
"Of course," Su Qingran said without hesitation, "Ayue was..."
Halfway through, she stopped again, not knowing what to say next. The maid didn't hear what she said behind her, she just asked curiously, "Of course what?"
"It's nothing." Su Qingran shook her head and stopped talking. She just looked out the window, as if she was looking at the peach tree with its green leaves, and at the sky in the distance.
The maid retreated wisely and stopped disturbing her.
After a long time, Su Qingran picked up the red cloth in the basket, twisted the needle again and stuck it down.
"His..."
She stared blankly at the forefinger where a drop of blood appeared, and regained her senses.
Ajin, this time, will you come back as promised?
……
"Brother, I don't know how holy Su Qingran is. She can fascinate you and make you willing to abolish the backyard and only ask her to be alone. I really want to meet her, the number one in this world What is the beauty of beauty?"
Dugu raised the tea in his hand, put it on his lips and sipped it lightly, the cold face seemed to be softened by the heat, and he even brought out a smile.
"The appearance is not ordinary, but the people are a little interesting."
"What kind of fun method?" another asked with interest.
"If I say she is willing to marry me just because she likes the craftsmanship of my cook, will the emperor believe it?"
"Hahahaha of course I believe it," the other person slapped his palm and laughed, "The emperor takes your cook with you anytime, anywhere, like a peerless treasure. It must be said that the cook's craftsmanship has made him the best in the world. Beauty, I believe it."
"But this future sister-in-law is interesting."
"I don't know what it will be like when she enters the capital."
Dugu remained silent, just turned his head sideways, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
On the other side, his royal brother, after laughing, the corners of his raised mouth sank a little.
"Jin Tianjian, check this woman's fate."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
Ajin, why haven't you come back?
Su Qingran muttered in her heart. After dinner, she sat by the window, hoping that Dugujin would jump in from the window like the first time they met, but only the cool moonlight jumped in. But there is no Ajin that she is thinking about.
"Miss, you haven't slept yet?" The maid who woke up passed by the window and asked subconsciously when she saw that she was still awake.
"I'm not sleepy, go to sleep." Su Qingran said, looking at the lantern in her hand again, and exhorting: "It's dry and dry, be careful with candles, and remember to turn off the lights in the room when you sleep. ."
"Yes." The maid nodded and walked over with a yawn. Su Qingran watched her slender figure walk into the long dark corridor, as if she had walked into a black mouth that could not see the bottom.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering, and she closed the clothes on her body, feeling a little cool.
The cold wind blew, Su Qingran rubbed her slightly swollen temples, leaned against the window, and half-closed her eyes.
"The water is gone, the water is gone—"
I don't know where the screams came from, and Su Qingran suddenly woke up from her dream. Standing up and looking out the window, there was a sea of fire not far away.
"Father, mother—"
The first thing she thought of was to save her parents. She just took two steps outside the door, but saw an arrow with a spark suddenly shot from the opposite eaves, rubbing her shoulders The fire shot out of the room from the window, just inserted into her bed, and the fire spread all at once.
Su Qingran's pupils clenched instantly, realizing that this was not a mistake by a servant, but someone deliberately set fire to kill their family.
"Shu Sha Sha Sha!" Several rockets shot over again. This time the shooter seemed to have spotted Su Qingran, and a series of arrows almost blocked all her escape routes.
In desperation, Su Qingran bent over to the side, rolled to the ground, and rubbed the side of the rocket to hide, but there was still a scorch mark on her waist. Fortunately, she just scratched her skin. No problem.
She rolled into a dark corner. The fire hadn't spread, but the smell of smoke was already very uncomfortable. I don't know what the arsonist added to the fire. Can't stop.
"Miss Su be careful." A person suddenly jumped out of the arch, and when he saw her, he threw the long sword in his hand. Su Qingran didn't dodge, but walked towards him clutching the wound on her shoulder. When he went over, he heard the sound of a symphony of gold and iron coming from behind. The man quickly walked over and picked up the long sword from the ground to support Su Qingran.
"Ms. Su, my subordinate is King Jin..."
"I know, you are from Ajin, I have seen you." Su Qingran interrupted him, "How are my parents now?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I don't know."
"A Jin left you alone?" Su Qingran asked calmly.
"More than that, there are twelve people in total." The man replied, "But this time there are too many people, and the martial arts are strong, and there are rockets to cover up in the dark. Our people and them have a great disadvantage against them. , I also worked hard to escape successfully."
"Where's Ah Jin?"
"The lord is still on the way. According to the news, he should be there in three days."
Su Qingran closed her eyes and asked, "Can you escape with me?"
"Subordinates are 70% sure."
"Go!"
The man was stunned for a moment. He thought that Su Qingran would cry and make a fuss and ask him to save her parents first, but she didn't expect that she would make a decision so simply.
"My father and mother will be together in life and death. Now that the enemy is strong, why should everyone be involved?" Su Qingran said, without the slightest confusion and innocence in front of Dugujin. Although she has a simple temperament, she Not stupid, and even more transparent than the average person: "If you can save my parents, it will be good, but if you can't save it, it's useless for you and me to go."
"So, let's go!" Su Qingran gritted her teeth and said, "Wait until Ah Jin comes back."
"Yes!"
……
"Ajin, Ajin, why haven't you come to me?"
"Ajin, you are a big liar!"
"Ajin, I hurt, it hurts, it hurts... Come and save me."
"No, don't--" Dugujin woke up from his sleep, slammed into the door with the subordinate beside him, and asked, "My lord, what happened?"
Dugu turned over and got up from the bed, hurriedly fastened his belt, and said as he walked out: "Pack up immediately, we'll set off immediately."
"But Lord, our talents are resting..." They brought a huge party to welcome their relatives. If it was only these people and Dugu, it would be easy to leave if they said to go, but bringing these people with them would undoubtedly become a burden. , and a carload of things can't be packed up and set off again in a moment.
"Just you and I go first." Dugu jumped on his horse, "Of course there is danger."
"Yes."
……
"Aifei, what do you think of the night sky today?"
The emperor put his arms around the charming beauty in his arms and asked while standing on the Picking Star Pavilion.
The beauty raised her head delicately, revealing the most beautiful angle in his eyes, making her eyes look as bright as if the entire galaxy was encased in them.
"It is beautiful."
"Yes, hahahaha." The emperor suddenly laughed and said, "It's so beautiful, you see—"
He stretched his finger in one direction, and the concubine in his arms followed his finger and saw that there was a blazing fire not far away.
"Ah, Your Majesty, the concubine's bedroom has gone into the water!" The originally beautiful woman was so frightened that her face turned pale in fright, but the emperor who hugged him laughed out loud, and the concubine also reacted and leaned against her. The person is the most powerful man in the world, but it is just a bedroom, and it will burn if it burns. If you can get the emperor's favor, there will be more and better things, so she pretends to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, Fen Quan lightly pounded on the emperor's chest: "Your Majesty, how are you, where do you live when your bedroom is gone?"
"Hahahaha... How could I really burn down your bedroom, baby can't blame me." The emperor lowered his head and took a sip on her lips, arousing the beauty's coquettish hatred, "But It's just for people to pile the spices into mountains and set them on fire to smoke your bedroom."
"This..." The concubine's eyes were filled with shock. She looked at the man who was laughing, suppressed her uneasiness, and said with a tender smile, "Your Majesty..."
"Xiangfei Xiangfei, it's not enough for you to be fragrant alone, you need the whole bedroom to be fragrant!"
"Thanks to the emperor, the concubine will know that the emperor is the best."
