Chapter 33
Heh, it's been three days, and it's the first time here.The side of Zhong Tianqing's face facing Xuezhao was already burning, he thought hotly and contemptuously.
Letting the people around him look at him, he maintained his heroic posture, as cold as a hamster eating.
Xuezhao still had that tepid attitude, even caring appropriately, "Are you used to staying here?"
Zhong Tianqing stopped holding the chopsticks.
"I can't wait."
"Oh..." Xue Zhao couldn't hear any emotion in her tone.
"What's wrong with it?" He continued to ask.
Zhong Tianqing pinched the chopsticks so hard that his knuckles turned white.
It's not decent to comment on food, and he's not a woman, so he shouldn't be so fussy, but.
"I don't like the food, it's tasteless."
Xuezhao saw him picking the chopsticks on the plate of small vegetables, and asked softly, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Zhong Tianqing thought it was a human saying, and replied, "Spicy pig's trotters."
Xuezhao looked at him seriously for a while, and asked seriously: "What's so delicious about that kind of thing?"
Huh.
Zhong Tianqing rushed straight from his dantian into the air intake in one breath.
Spicy pig's trotters are not tasty, but is this kind of small green vegetables and stewed things delicious? !
"..." Before he opened his mouth, Xuezhao immediately changed his words: "Let them prepare tomorrow... don't get excited."
"?" Zhong Tianqing thought he was not excited, at most he was just finding fault, how could he be excited, he is not a woman!
Xue took care of the light blue under his eyes, and asked, "Did you not rest well?"
"En." Zhong Tianqing replied, but somehow felt that such an answer was inappropriate, so he specially added, "I'm not used to sleeping on bedding."
Xuezhao nodded. In fact, this was the first time the two of them got along quietly after their reunion. There should be many important things to say, and they shouldn't always focus on such small things as eating, drinking, and daily life. However, neither of them mentioned it.
Xuezhao sat for a while and said, "That won't bother you, go to bed earlier."
I don't know if he was delusional, Zhong Tianqing paused, but it was only for a moment, and he said, "Yes."
Xuezhao left, he left, he just left like that.
Zhong Tianqing finished his meal in a normal way, washed and changed his clothes in a normal way, and lay down on the bedding in a normal way.
His eyes were open, unable to rest at all.
The low mood lasted all night, and when he woke up the next day, the blue color under his eyes was obviously darker.
But the depression turned for the better the next morning.
Because the snow came again in the morning.
Just like how she cared for him yesterday, she stayed very gentle and polite for about a quarter of an hour before leaving.
Zhong Tianqing's cloud turned clear, and the ice on his face thawed slightly.
Not half an hour after Xuezhao left, seven or eight maids appeared in his room with large packages, Zhong Tianqing didn't know why.
The maids said: "We are ordered to change you a new bedding."
"What new bedding?" Why new bedding?Zhong Tianqing didn't react for a while.
"Didn't you say yesterday that the bedding was uncomfortable?"
"..." Zhong Tianqing was confused for a moment, and immediately said: "Uh...yes."
The maids shook open the big package, and inside was a brand new snow-white bedding, soft and fragrant. They said: "This is newly made by the Internal Affairs Department last night. You can try it to see if it suits you."
The original maids in Zhong Tianqing's room stepped forward to watch the commotion, and saw that the gauze as white as rice paper was finely stitched, and upon opening it, it was fluffy and soft, covered with cotton like clouds.
They didn't dare to make noise, but they were all whispering, "What kind of gauze is this, I've never seen it so soft."
"Cotton is not like cotton, it seems to be clouded."
They asked the maid who delivered the things in a low voice, "Forgive our blind eyes, but we can't recognize where the things came from."
The maid who delivered the things was very humble, "It's just ordinary things for daily use, and I can't talk about their origin."
After the people left, the maids replaced the old ones with new quilts and matching mattresses, and Zhong Tianqing tried it out, as if lying on a cloud.
There are as many as five layers of mattresses under the body alone.
Some of the maids laughed and sighed: "This means that if you sprinkle a handful of soybeans under your body, it won't hurt you."
Zhong Tianqing lowered his head and did not speak. That night, he lay down in the soft and comfortable quilt. Perhaps it was the softness that miraculously worked the curative effect. He was relaxed physically and mentally, and his consciousness became foggy after a while.
In the next few days, Xuezhao came to visit him regularly every day, but the two talked very little.
On the fourth day, Xuezhao suddenly didn't come.
Zhong Tianqing sat down at the round table early in the morning, very indifferently, ignoring anyone, and when Xuezhao usually came, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the door. The door was closed and no one came to disturb him.
Zhong Tianqing flipped through the books, looked out the window, or took a nap. It was no different from the past. When eating at night, he ate quietly, and suddenly pointed to the table and asked, "Why didn't you see that little green vegetable today?"
The maids replied: "As usual, not every day."
Zhong Tianqing nodded, took a few mouthfuls of rice with his chopsticks, then put it down lightly, and said, "I won't eat."
maid:"?"
A few days ago, you were very bored, saying that the thing was bland and tasteless?
They didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly cleaned up the things on the table.
Zhong Tianqing's life is very simple, similar to a prison, he can only go to sleep after meals.Under the moonlight, he was naked, his wheat-colored skin slid into the cloud-like snow-white quilt, and the strange yarn and cotton touched every inch of his body like gentle hands.
Zhong Tianqing slid his arms over the cotton yarn again and again, this illusion of being caressed made people feel extremely wronged.
He frowned slightly, and pressed it lightly with his fingers, feeling a little funny in his heart.
I am really... more and more like the real one.
At the same time, Xue shines on the study.
Since Xuezhao and the Tian family had agreed on Zhong Tianqing's life and death, they had different opinions on how to explain to the soldiers and civilians.
Dozens of candles were lit for lighting in the room, the lights were brilliant, Xuezhao sat behind the desk, Shi Zikai leaned against the desk and slowly grinded ink for him, while Ji Lin and Master Guo stood below.
Shi Zikai was the first to smile and said: "If it's my opinion, since the Tian family also promised to keep Zhong Tianqing alive, and we need to have an explanation to the world, why don't we find a death row prisoner to replace him, and behead him as a public display. It doesn't matter if we throw the ashes, the people of the world will be satisfied, and we will achieve our goal, this is the best way."
Master Guo thought for a while, then whispered: "...But Zhong Tianqing is going to be disemboweled and left to dry outside. He has a special body, where can we find someone who looks exactly like him to replace him? I think...if it's not safe, it needs to be considered. "
He lowered his head to glance at the snow photo above, and said in a lower voice, "Also...the rumors about him being pregnant have gone crazy, and there are even more discussions about who the child is...I have ordered all Silencing the servants is not a long-term solution, and we need to discuss an explanation."
Shi Zikai said: "This matter is quite simple. When people ask, they just say that they have not been interrogated, and then spread the news secretly...it can lead to others."
He thought for a while, then added: "Maybe it's like this: put Zhong Tianqing in labor first, and then find an excuse not to kill him, saying that the Tian Family will take him somewhere, and keep him in custody for a few years to make a show. In the past year, the news has faded, and then someone will be found to replace him."
After he finished speaking, he said to Ji Lin: "What do you think, Little General Ji?"
Since Ji Lin was exposed by Shi Zikai about Zhong Yusheng last time, he confronted Zhong Yusheng after returning home. Zhong Yusheng admitted the matter, arguing that it was not that he did not mention it, but that Ji Lin's family did not ask. Ji Lin was almost overwhelmed and made him Confinement at home, not allowed to go out.
Since then, Ji Lin's momentum has been reduced by half. At this moment, when Shi Zikai called him, he said weakly and hesitantly: "It is best to kill the mother and keep the son."
He knew in his heart that this should not be said again, but this was the only way that would do no harm to Xuezhao.
Xuezhao shook his head, and smiled at what they said, he said: "Concealing or fabricating will only create more troubles, this happened because of me, it was my fault, what should be done is what should be done stop."
Shi Zikai heard that he wanted to admit it, so he hurriedly said: "No hurry, no hurry, this matter can be discussed again... Uncle Emperor, you are supreme in the hearts of the people in the world, but Zhong Tianqing is the leader of the rebel army after all..."
And by calculation, the time of Zhong Tianqing's pregnancy is so sensitive.
He swallowed the second half of the sentence and said, "Please think twice."
Xuezhao smiled, "Don't worry, I understand what you said."
Shi Zikai waited for you to look at me, and I looked at you, and I felt even more worried.
There was no sound in the room, at this time, there was a maid swaying outside the door, upon seeing this, Master Guo quietly withdrew, whispered to the maid and came back.
Xuezhao took the time out of a bunch of important matters, and asked him in a low voice: "How is it?"
Master Guo said: "According to His Highness's instructions, the Internal Affairs Department has sent him a new bedding, which is the white snow gauze and cloud silk cotton that His Highness rewarded last time."
Hearing this, Shi Zikai next to him raised his eyebrows, while Ji Lin was even more depressed and gloomy.
Xizhou specialty white snow gauze is more expensive than gold, and the output is very small, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy gold.The best cloud silk cotton in the Northeast is only used as a tribute, exclusively for the use of the Tian family, and the clan's children such as Shi Zikai and others can't touch it.
Although these are everyday objects, their value is comparable to that of antiques and rare treasures. Therefore, the Tian family gave them to Xuezhao as a gift last time, and they selected the top grade among them.
In this way, a bedding was casually made for a "prisoner".
Shi Zikai teased Xuezhao, "These two are the best in the world, it's really scary for the emperor to make a move."
Xuezhao shook his head and said with a smile: "These things are dust in the warehouse, he needs them, and they happen to be used by him."
Shi Zikai still clicked his tongue.He also heard Master Guo say: "The two dragon's breath grasses in the storeroom are cut into small pieces every day and used as cold dishes for him. They have been used up in the past few days. I just said next, and he asked during dinner."
Xuezhao nodded.
Shi Zikai just watched the excitement, now he is crazy, he stretched out his hand: "Wait a minute! Dragon's Breath...are those two dragon's breath plants I sent last time?"
Master Guo calmly replied, "My lord, that's right."
Shi Zikai looked at Xuezhao, looked at Master Guo, and his voice broke out of shock: "Are you crazy? Dragon's breath grass can save people's lives, it is a treasure! You... mix it with cold dishes?"
Xuezhao smiled flatly, "What's the matter? It's all for people to eat."
Shi Zikai looked at him, dumbfounded.
Xuezhao thought for a while, and casually ordered Master Guo: "Bring me a pen and paper, I want to send a letter to Tianjia."
Shi Zikai recovered from the shock and hurriedly asked him, "Is there anything important?"
Xuezhao spread out the paper, with a calm expression, "It's nothing, I just want a few more dragon's breath grasses from him."
He lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said with a low laugh: "This is the first time for me... to ask for something from someone."
Yu Tianjia... want... a few more...
Shi Zikai was only shocked just now, but now he has been shattered.
Under the dim light, Xuezhao lowered his head to write a letter, and the warm light dyed his cheeks under his eyes a light pink.
Shi Zikai looked at him blankly, thinking that the little Huangshu looked calm, but his heart was crazy.
