Chapter 095 Chapter 95

After Cheng Hao finished speaking.

Xu Duanyi's expression changed subconsciously, and then he turned around to look at Xie Qingya who was a few steps away.

Then she realized that Xie Qingya had also been looking at her.

Although she had expected that after coming out, she would not be able to wait to go back with Xie Qingya, Xu Duanyi did not expect that her aunt would be so fast.

The imperial decree was given to Uncle Cheng very early, leaving her no time to relax.

She thought.

At least they are still together today.

The hand was held.

Xu Duanyi came back to her senses with trembling eyelashes, and found that Xie Qingya had walked back to her without her knowing when.

"It's okay. You go back with General Cheng first. Once I've dealt with the problem here, I'll go back to Beijing immediately." Xie Qingya held Xu Duanyi's hand and said to him.

After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and said to the other person: "Remember what I told you before, Xu Duanyi, don't be afraid."

"I am not a responsible person. I will not be irresponsible."

This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team. Xie Qingya said this to her deliberately with a self-deprecating tone.

He knew that Xu Duanyi was a thoughtful person and was in a dilemma. Naturally, he didn't want her to take everything on herself after leaving him.

There were some things he couldn't explain to her in detail for the time being.

But he absolutely did not want, nor did he want her to get hurt because of him.

I don't want her to take on everything this time she returns to Beijing.

He held her hand and was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly whispered to her, "Wait until things here are settled, and when we meet next time, I have something to tell you."

When Xu Duanyi heard this, his eyelashes trembled violently and he looked at the person.

Although Xie Qingya didn't say it explicitly, she seemed to have guessed in her heart what he was going to say to her.

Eyes met.

She looked at Xie Qingya's deep eyes, which were now staring at her deeply.

Her hand was once again held with a little more force, and Xie Qingya's voice was heard again.

"So don't be afraid. Just go back and have a good rest for a while. I'll come back to you as soon as I finish my work here."

"……good."

Xu Duanyi replied in a hoarse voice.

Her originally uneasy heart was indeed calmed down by this.

If this wasn't in public, she would have hugged him regardless of the consequences.

Only now.

She could only say to Xie Qingya in a hoarse voice: "Take good care of yourself."

Seeing that her mood had returned to normal, Xie Qingya looked at her and said "OK". He did not let go of her hand, but took the initiative to hold her hand and said to her: "I will take you out of the city."

If it were a weekday.

Xu Duanyi was naturally reluctant to let someone travel so far, but since she didn't know when they would see each other again, she was reluctant to refuse.

Say yes softly.

Afterwards, Xie Qingya took Xu Duanyi's hand and looked at Cheng Hao: "General Cheng, I will go out of the city with you."

Cheng Hao would naturally not refuse such a small matter.

He nodded to the two of them, and then took the initiative to return to his horse.

Xie Qingya wanted to ask Xu Duanyi to return the carriage first and send him out of the city.

Xu Duanyi had more to say: "Wait a minute, I'll go ask Mr. Sun."

She spoke to Xie Qingya.

Xie Qingya nodded.

Afterwards, he took everyone to go to Sun Lao's place first.

Xu Duanyi walked over, looked at Sun Chengqi and called him "Sun Lao", then took the initiative to ask him: "Sun Lao, will you come back to Beijing with me?"

Seeing that she was still thinking about him, Sun Chengqi comforted her and said with a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry about me, an old man. I will just fish at home when I return to Beijing. I have nothing to do. It's better for me to stay here and do my best."

Xu Duanyi knew that he had a kind heart, so he didn't say anything.

She was just worried that no one would take care of him here, so she said, "Then I'll let Bixi..."

Before she could finish her words, Sun Chengqi interrupted her: "No, the old man has his hands and feet, he doesn't need anyone to serve him, Bixi should go back with His Highness."

"Besides, I didn't bring anyone with me this time."

"This is my grandson, his name is Jingyu." Sun Chengqi introduced the young man beside him to Xu Duanyi, "He also likes medicine. This time I brought him out to gain experience."

"Your Highness."

Sun Jingyu had not said a word before, but stood obediently beside Sun Lao with his head down.

After hearing my grandfather introduce me, I just bowed and greeted Xu Duanyi and his wife: "Your Highness, Prince."

It was only at this moment that Xu Duanyi noticed that there was such a young and handsome boy standing next to Mr. Sun.

I've heard Bixi mention it before.

Apart from Sun Lao, everyone else in the Sun family either liked doing business or studying. As a result, Sun Lao often felt regretful until his little grandson came along.

Xu Duanyi remembered that in the early years when Grandmother Sun was still in the palace, there was often a child who came to the palace to visit Grandmother Sun. Once when she passed by on her way to the garden, she saw a child excitedly calling Bixi "Senior Sister".

She found it interesting at the time, so she asked Shi Yu a question.

I just found out that this child is from my grandson's family.

I never thought that after so many years, the child at that time would grow up to be so tall and straight.

Xu Duanyi couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Until someone suddenly pulled my hand.

Xu Duanyi subconsciously looked to the side, thinking that Xie Qingya had something to say to her.

But when he looked back, he saw someone looking straight ahead with a serious face, and said to Sun Jingyu calmly, "Get up."

There was absolutely no intention of talking to her.

Xu Duanyi realized some things belatedly and couldn't help laughing.

She also looked away.

He did not even look at Sun Jingyu any more. He just told someone to take good care of Old Sun, and said a few words of thanks to the imperial doctors. Then he followed Xie Qingya towards the carriage.

Along the way, everyone else was watching them.

Mr. Chu and the others had already stood up, and now everyone's eyes were on them.

"Princess, are you leaving now?" The first person to speak was Grandma Cui. She was holding her grandson Guawa's hand and looking at Xu Duanyi with tears in her eyes.

"I heard that you and the prince were coming back today, so I prepared a lot of dishes to welcome you." Granny Cui said while wiping her tears.

"Princess, will you come back in the future?" Guawa also looked up and asked Xu Duanyi.

Xu Duanyi looked at those pairs of eyes, from Granny Cui's ancestors and grandchildren, to Master Wang, Chief Clerk Qiao, and then to Old Chu and the others... She was also deeply moved.

The human heart is unpredictable.

But human heart is the most precious.

The time they spent together also made her feel how lovely they were.

"Yutian is a good place. I will definitely come back again in the future," she said to them with a smile.

After hearing her say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing again.

"Princess, you must come back in the future. We haven't had the chance to thank you properly." A group of people said to Xu Duanyi at the same time.

Xu Duanyi smiled and said yes.

Afterwards, she took the initiative to ask Granny Cui: "Granny, while the prince is in Yutian, I'd like to trouble you to take care of him."

"He is usually very busy and has no time to take care of food and drink. Please give him some more advice."

Granny Cui agreed with everyone: "Don't worry, Princess. I will take good care of you and will never let you go hungry."

Xu Duanyi smiled and thanked everyone, then touched Guawawa's head.

Then he said goodbye to Wang Fuxin, Li Wengao and others.

Only then did Xie Qingya continue to lead him towards the carriage.

When she was about to get on the carriage, Xu Duanyi turned around again. Seeing that everyone's eyes were still on them, she smiled again, waved to everyone, then bent down and got into the carriage.

The carriage set off.

Go along the long street out of the city.

There were people seeing us off on both sides of the alley, and their voices could be heard from time to time.

Xu Duanyi naturally responded to them in the carriage.

Only when there was no one outside did Xu Duanyi feel so tired that he lowered the car curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're not tired either."

Xie Qingya's voice came to my ears.

Before Xu Duanyi could say anything, she saw him pour a cup of tea and hand it to her.

Xu Duanyi saw it and smiled.

She took it from the person and took two sips, which relieved the dryness in her throat.

The original bustle was gone, and no one was talking outside. There was only the sound of horseshoes, foreshadowing the fact that they were about to separate.

Xu Duanyi held the teacup and looked at Xie Qingya.

She should have a lot to say, but the fact is, looking at Xie Qingya at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

All that needs to be instructed has been instructed.

The rest are either clichés or out of date.

The same is true for Xie Qingya.

However, the method chosen by Xie Qingya was much simpler.

He only asked Xu Duanyi: "Don't you want to drink anymore?"

Xu Duanyi didn't seem to expect him to ask this. After a moment of surprise, he shook his head slightly and replied, "I'm not thirsty anymore."

As she spoke, she wanted to put the teacup back on the table. This book was compiled exclusively for you by the LK team and was taken over by Xie Qingya halfway.

Xie Qingya put down the teacup and said to the others, "Just right."

Before Xu Duanyi could wonder what he meant, she was suddenly pulled into Xie Qingya's arms.

This sudden action almost made Xu Duanyi scream out in surprise.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and realized what was happening outside. She immediately swallowed her scream and didn't really shout out loud.

If someone else really heard it, she would be too embarrassed to face anyone in the future.

"What are you doing?"

Being held face to face by Xie Qingya while sitting on his lap, Xu Duanyi lowered her voice and asked the person in front of her with shyness and embarrassment.

As he spoke, Xu Duanyi looked at the curtains on both sides of the car in panic, fearing that they would be blown up by the wind at any time and people outside would see what was going on inside.

"Xie Qingya, please let me down."

After all, he was worried, Xu Duanyi said as he tried to struggle away.

This is not a small courtyard, and they are not the only two here, so Xu Duanyi will naturally feel uncomfortable.

But Xie Qingya is really good at controlling her.

他清楚這種時候，跟人說再多保證的話，都是沒有用的。徐端宜該緊張還是會緊張，該擔心，也還是會擔心。

他知道什麽才有用。

雙手仍放在徐端宜的腰上，帶着不容拒絕的力道，強勢地絲毫不肯松開，放人下來。

可他望着人的眼神，卻帶着一股子可憐的味道，就連說話的聲音，也可憐巴巴的。

“我們就要分開了，徐端宜，你真舍得推開我？”

果然——

他這話才落下，原本放在他胳膊上，掙紮推辭的力道，就立刻消失了。

雖然手還放在他的胳膊上。

但徐端宜卻沒再掙紮着要下來，而是面露猶豫地看着他。

謝清崖知道自己計謀成了。

也沒露出驕傲自滿的模樣，只抱着人，先親了一口，又繼續委屈巴巴問她：“你不想跟我親近嗎？”

謝清崖總說自己抵擋不了徐端宜，她的一颦一笑都讓他心動不已。

可對徐端宜而言，他也一樣。

他只要稍微露出一點可憐模樣，徐端宜便什麽都顧不得了。

明明最是循規蹈矩。

但此時，被謝清崖這樣看着，徐端宜哪裏還舍得狠心拒絕他？最後還是沒有那麽做。

不僅沒有。

徐端宜看着謝清崖，明明是無奈的模樣，但還是主動把原本放在他胳膊上的手，一點點往上攀升，如從前兩人親密時一樣，懸挂于他的脖子上。

謝清崖忍不住看着她笑了。

唯恐被人察覺，同他生氣，謝清崖未等人注意到，便先抱着她的腰，仰着頭，朝人鋪天蓋地的親了過去。

親吻果然是最好的解壓方式。

剛才徐端宜還滿心不舍，不知該說什麽，此時倒是什麽都不用想了，她也想不到什麽了。

只能被謝清崖一步步進攻、索取。

直到馬車停下。

外頭傳來昌豐的聲音：“王爺，到了。”

徐端宜都不知道被人親了多久了，她大腦昏昏，連該有的意識都沒有了，只能用力握着謝清崖的胳膊，靠在他的頸窩處，不住喘息。

“知道了。”

謝清崖抱着徐端宜，一邊揩拭着她嘴角的瑩潤，一邊淡聲回了昌豐一句。

他也沒準備在這待太久。

他其實比徐端宜自己，還要在乎她的名聲，自然不會讓外頭的人胡思亂想。

因此在答應完之後，他便把徐端宜小心翼翼放到了馬車上，又拿過一旁的毯子給人蓋上。

看着此時淚眼婆娑，又意識不清望着他的徐端宜。

謝清崖單膝跪在她身旁，又俯身在她額頭印下一個吻，與她叮囑道：“回去好好休息，別胡思亂想，也別擔心我。”

“等我回去。”

他的嗓音也沙啞。

不知是情-欲造成，還是心有不舍。

大概都有。

徐端宜緩了一會，意識也變得清楚了一些，她輕聲跟人說好。

眼中也跟謝清崖一樣，有着濃濃的不舍。

謝清崖被她這樣看着，真恨不得直接跟人一起回去，或者回小院，以後就他們倆。

但這自是不可能的事。

從那個小院出來之後，他們就不能只做自己了。

只能咬着牙，往人唇上又親了一口，這才悶着聲，跟人說道：“——走了。”

說罷。

他便真的未再停留，只重新拾掇了下自己身上的衣裳，便起身朝馬車外走去。

徐端宜也沒有挽留，只坐起身，目送謝清崖離開。

她聽到謝清崖出去之後，和外頭的人打招呼，沒一會，時雨和碧溪就都進來了。

時雨最高興了。

能離開這個鬼地方，還能跟主子一起乘坐馬車回去，她自是高興不已。

一進馬車，就藏不住笑。

碧溪卻是知曉她心裏的不舍。

進來之後，就端詳起她的臉色，卻也不敢說什麽，只能拉着時雨，讓她別煩主子，好讓主子好好休息。

馬車啓程。

徐端宜沒忍住，掀起車簾往外看去。

她看到謝清崖已重新坐到馬上，似是早有所察，她會掀起車簾一般。

在她看向他的時候，他就早已經看着她了。

四目相對。

謝清崖的眼中先拾起了笑意，朝她揮了揮手，然後無聲啓唇，與她說了幾個字。

——“等我回去。”

這是謝清崖跟她說的。

……

馬車已經啓程離開了這邊。

但謝清崖卻還留在原地，目送馬車離開的方向。

直到徹底看不見了，他這才收回視線。

“……走吧。”

他說着，率先策馬離開了這邊。

他現在能做的，就是快些把玉田的事解決，然後回京城去。

不過謝清崖還未進城，就先看到了一個熟悉的身影。

“王爺，是梅大人。”

令吉也瞧見了，跟謝清崖說道。

謝清崖早就猜到，他一定會單獨來見他一下，此時看見梅雪征的身影，他自是也不意外。

正好梅雪征所在之處，原本也偏僻，正是一個适合說話的地方。

先前說是送出城。

但其實還是送到了城外十裏的地方。

古來都有長亭送別的習慣。

因此每個州府縣城，城外都會建立一座十裏長亭，這十裏長亭也是最後告示一遍送別的人，該停了。

而此時梅雪征所在的位置，則是十裏長亭和玉田縣的中間處。

玉田四面環山。

洪災已過，那原本會危害人生命的龐然大物，如今在陽光的照射下，好似又變得青翠可愛起來了。

不過在場之人，都是無心去賞景的人。

倒是讓這大好風景白費了。

“你們前後守着。”以防萬一，謝清崖去找梅雪征之前，還是先跟昌豐二人說了這麽一句。

二人自是應是。

而後一人往前，一人往後。

謝清崖便只身一人，朝梅雪征所在的方向，策馬而去。

兩人十分有默契。

都沒騎馬，只朝前邊視野開闊之地走去。

謝清崖跟在人身後走着，沒走幾步，忽然發現，這個地方，竟然還能看到徐端宜的馬車。

不由駐步向遠處看去。

“怎麽了？”梅雪征沒聽到身後傳來腳步聲，不由回頭看去，待見謝清崖這副失神模樣，他心中已猜到了一些。

果然，順着他的視線往前看去，就瞧見那位嘉順長公主乘坐的馬車正在于蜿蜒小路下前行。

原本有許多話要問。

但此時好像也都沒什麽必要了。

他索性也沒再繼續往前走，就停在謝清崖的身邊，與他一道看着徐端宜離去的方向，問他：“之後打算怎麽辦？”

謝清崖聽到他的聲音才回過神。

眼睫微微抖動了兩下。

他當然知道梅雪征問得是什麽，這也正是他原本準備與他說的。

“我打算等下次回去，和她說下我的事。”他開口與梅雪征說話，視線卻依舊停留在遠處馬車的方向。

餘光能看到。

他說完之後，身邊之人猛地朝他看了過來。

謝清崖也早就準備好，會被人訓斥一頓了。

但他等了許久，卻都未聽到梅雪征的訓斥聲，等到的，反而是他扭頭收回視線。

這自然令他驚訝。

就連原本一直望着前方的視線，也落到了他的身上。

“看什麽？”

梅雪征察覺到他的注視，不鹹不淡問他。

謝清崖蹙眉看着他，沒有隐瞞地與他說道：“我還以為你會罵我。”

梅雪征看着他嗤笑：“罵你有用嗎？你決定的事，什麽時候更改過？”

話是這麽說。

但謝清崖還是能感覺出梅雪征的語氣，并未生氣。

梅雪征顯然也看出他的困惑了。

他忽然拍了拍謝清崖的肩膀，先坐在了草地上。

這幾日沒下雨，草地也都很是幹燥。

謝清崖也跟着他一起坐了下去。

“你知道那天，我替你去跟她說話的時候，她跟我說了什麽嗎？”梅雪征忽然問他。

這話沒頭沒尾。

但謝清崖還是立刻就反應過來，他說的那天是什麽時候了。

“什麽？”他看着梅雪征問。

梅雪征則看着前方說道：“我說了所有能說的，軟的、硬的，都說了，我甚至問她，如果你真的感染時疫，無藥可救，她準備怎麽辦。”

“你知道她是怎麽跟我說的嗎？”梅雪征說着，忽然回過頭看謝清崖。

謝清崖其實心中已有答案，但還是看着梅雪征問道：“怎麽說的？”

梅雪征看着他笑道：“她跟我說，若上蒼憐惜，她與你自不會有事，若上蒼不憐，那她便陪你一起。”

“你生她生，你死她死。”  本書由LK團隊為您獨家整理　　即便早有猜想，但謝清崖在聽到這一句的時候，心裏還是止不住狠狠震動了一下。

就連原先那雙平靜的眼睛，也控制不住地睜大了。

心跳在身體內不住跳動。

謝清崖目光失神，說不出話。

肩膀忽然又被人輕輕拍了兩下，梅雪征看着他說：“清崖，我知道你在想什麽。”

“是，我從前是擔心過，我怕她有詐，我也怕她會背叛你。”

“我怕我們這麽多年的籌謀、計劃，都會付之東流。”

“可我現在知道了，這世上，她是最不可能背叛你的人，她這樣的人，太難得了。”

梅雪征說到這的時候，停頓了好一會。

He never believed in these love things, and he never gave his true heart to anyone. He has wine today, but worries about tomorrow.

This is his life principle.

Live in the present moment.

The most important thing is to live happily and freely.

Love affairs are too torturous, and he doesn't want to be trapped in these things for the rest of his life.

But he thought of the man's expression when he stood in front of him that day and said these words.

He could actually see the raging fire within her soft appearance...

He had never seen such a scenery in his life.

Mei Xuezheng lowered his eyes again: "Just say what you want to say. I believe you know your limits."

That was all he had to say. He patted his shoulders twice and stood up.

Mei Xuezheng walked forward.

After walking a few steps, he turned back.

There were no more carriages on the winding road, so he withdrew his gaze and focused it again on the young man not far away.

"Qingya."

He looked at the young man and shouted.

When the young man looked up, he suddenly smiled and said, "You must remember that before any other identities, I am first and foremost your brother."

"As a brother, what I hope most is that you can be happy."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to think that what he said was too pretentious, so he turned around and waved to the others, saying, "Let's go." Then he walked forward in a leisurely manner.
