Chapter 45: Listening to the Piano in the Garden
. :
As Luo Yu remained silent, Sang Zixin sat down tremblingly, at the farthest place from the two of them, with his head lowered tremblingly, not daring to pick up the chopsticks.
"Eat," Qian Heliyou picked up the chopsticks and signaled to start eating, and first picked up a piece of steamed goose meat for Luo Yu, "Eat more."
"Yeah." Luo Yu nodded, his eyes full of warmth, and began to eat gracefully. Qian He Liyou, on the other hand, just looked at him and didn't eat anything, just drinking tea.
Sang Zixin lowered his head and held the bowl, trying to make himself as small as possible so as not to disturb the two people who were having their meal. If possible, he really didn't want to sit here. He always felt that he was redundant.
"You'er, don't you want to eat?" After taking a few bites, Luo Yu also noticed that Qianhe Liyou was acting strangely.
"I'm not hungry." These foods had no appeal to her, not as much as the person in front of her. If she really wanted to eat, she would choose him, or the appetizer next to it would also be fine.
"Even if you're not hungry, you should eat something. Don't drink too much tea, otherwise it will harm your body." As he said that, Luo Yu picked up a piece of Huadiao chicken for Li You and looked at her with persistence, meaning that you must eat it.
Qianhe Liyou was a little helpless. She really didn't like eating these things, but under Luo Yu's expectant gaze, she still ate the piece of meat.
Luo Yu smiled with satisfaction, like a thawing ice crystal, dazzling and beautiful in the sun. Qian He Li You saw this smile and felt that he had not eaten this piece of meat in vain.
After lunch, Luo Yu and Li You drank another pot of tea. Luo Yu stood up and wanted to leave. He didn't want to disturb You'er's handling of state affairs here.
"It's nothing serious. Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden." She was there before Luo Yu came. There was nothing going on in the court now, so she was relatively free.
"Okay." Luo Yu agreed of course. The two of them walked out of the bedroom together. Sang Zixin followed not far behind. Feng Ying and others also followed behind, not daring to disturb them.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, they heard the melodious sound of a piano. Qian Heliyou knew it was Li Qujun's piano as soon as she heard it. The sound was high and bright, and she remembered it clearly. After all, she seldom listened to the piano, and Li Qujun's piano sound was so special.
"There is a familiar sound of the piano. You'er, do you know who it is?" Luo Yu asked softly, but there was a hint of understanding in his eyes. It was obvious that he already knew the other party's identity. After all, there were not many people in this palace who could play the piano here, and the melody was so light and lively.
"Yu, do you like his piano playing, too?" The two of them talked as they moved closer to the sound of the piano. They had already seen Li Qujun's figure. He was sitting in the gazebo with a heater next to him. It was already late autumn and the weather was cold. It was easy to catch a cold sitting outdoors like this.
The music stopped, and Li Qujun stood up and saluted the two of them, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
"Get up. Why are you playing the piano here? I hope you don't get sick." Qianhe Liyou took two steps forward, with a hint of concern in his tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will pay attention to it." He just suddenly wanted to play the piano outdoors, and the scenery here was his favorite, so he came here, but he didn't expect to meet the emperor and the empress dowager.
"Play another song. I want to listen." Qianhe Liyou took Luo Yu's hand and sat down beside him, signaling Li Qujun that he could start.
Li Qujun's piano music makes people feel very relaxed, and his piano music is mostly light and bright. The song "March in Spring" makes people feel that spring is in full swing and everything is reviving.
"Good." Another song ended, Qianhe Liyou clapped his hands and praised.
Li Qujun blushed slightly and smiled a little embarrassedly, "As long as the emperor and the queen mother like it."
"It's very good. You'er's people are indeed very distinctive." He knew everyone in the harem, and had read their detailed information, identity background, personality and preferences. However, he had only read them and never studied them carefully, nor did he take these people to heart.
But now things seemed a little different. After such close contact with these people, he began to evaluate them.
Qianhe Liyou was a little surprised that Luo Yu would say such a thing, and had a strange feeling in his heart. Li Qujun seemed to be equally surprised. He was stunned at first and looked at Qianhe Liyou, then lowered his head in embarrassment. He looked a little cute when he was at a loss.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, do you still want to listen to the zither? I'll play you another tune." Li Qujun broke the brief silence. After seeing Qianhe Liyou nod, he started a new tune with his fingers.
This time Qianhe Liyou did not listen to the piano for the whole afternoon, because the temperature outside was not suitable for staying for a long time. She didn't care, but Luo Yu and Li Qujun's bodies couldn't bear it. After listening to two more songs, she saw Li Qujun shivering, so she let him go back to the palace. She also sent Luo Yu all the way back to Luoxian Palace and left after dinner.
Two days later, Sang Zixin's face began to turn pale, she began to cough, she moved in a panic after coughing, and her body became weaker and weaker.
His poison took effect, Qianhe Liyou could even feel Sang Zixin's painful breathing, but he was very suppressed, as if he was afraid of disturbing himself.
"If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest." After enduring for a long time, Qianhe Liyou finally couldn't help it and said to Sang Zixin in a rather cold tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine and I can still serve Your Majesty." He didn't have much time left and he couldn't waste any more.
"You can still serve me like this, as if you could fall down at any time. Do you want people to think that I am abusing you?" What on earth was he thinking? She gave him countless opportunities to poison her, but he did nothing. The poison in his body also began to take effect. Needless to say, everyone could feel the pain. Could it be that...
Qian He Li You suddenly thought of a possibility that he had already thought of. Could it be that this poor little girl had already made this decision?
"You're poisoned." Since she had guessed his decision, she didn't want to waste any more time. She was not a sadist and didn't want to see someone struggling in pain beside her. Even if it didn't hurt, she wouldn't be happy.
"Poisoned slave, slave, cough, cough, cough." Sang Zixin was shocked and wanted to explain urgently, but he suddenly coughed and couldn't help coughing out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't lie. You are in this state and still want to hide it. Are you a fool?" Qian Heliyou's tone began to become sharp, but her movements were gentle. She tapped Sang Zixin's brow lightly for the first time, and a ray of black light shone out. Sang Zixin suddenly felt much more comfortable, but before she had time to think too much, she was frightened by the emperor's stern tone and knelt on the ground suddenly. "Your Majesty, your servant, your servant does not know what your Majesty is talking about."
"Sang Zixin, do you really not know?"
