Chapter 498 A sleepless night
"Drink the hot soup, it's really nourishing. I used a lot of good things. Don't turn around and let Eunuch Gao see that I didn't drink it. Then I will think that I refused you on purpose."
Wei Ruo had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was half joking and half serious.
After speaking, Wei Ruo turned and walked into the inner room behind the screen.
Wei Jin also looked down at the soup on the table...
A moment later, Wei Jin also poured the medicinal soup into the flower pot beside him.
He didn't dare to drink the soup as Wei Ruo said. If the soup was really that kind of nourishing soup, he would feel desire after drinking it, and he would regret it for the rest of his life if he overstepped her.
When he was next to him, he was confident in his self-control, and he was not afraid of a bowl of nourishing soup.
But facing Ruoer, he didn't have that much confidence, because there was already a demon hidden in his heart.
At night, Wei Ruo was lying on the bed, his eyes were piercing, and he was not sleepy.
Thinking that Wei Jin was also in the same room as him, Wei Ruo unexpectedly lost sleep.
It's summer, and the chirping of cicadas and crickets is especially obvious outside.
Wei Ruo's thoughts drifted away with these voices...
I don’t know if the second brother drank the bowl of soup, or if he threw it away secretly.
Wei Ruo is not lying when he said that Wei Jinyi drank that bowl of soup, he can indeed drink that bowl of soup.
Because even though the bowl of tonic soup was hotter after eating, it would only be soft and soft, and there was no aggressiveness.
If someone with a strong body like the second brother takes it, it will have the effect of nourishing qi and blood. The effect is probably similar to that of some aphrodisiac drugs, and it is easier to be energetic in a certain way.
Guessing that Eunuch Gao was afraid of hurting Wei Jinyi, he chose to use this conservative method.
If she turns into a hungry tiger, Wei Jinyi will be in serious trouble if her body is too strong.
So although Eunuch Gao has a mission, he still has to give priority to Wei Jinyi's personal safety, even if he uses some means, it will be more gentle.
Moreover, Eunuch Gao didn’t dare to make it too obvious. They would definitely settle accounts with him the next day after he really administered some aphrodisiac, so Eunuch Gao couldn’t afford it.
Wei Ruo also believed that Wei Jin would not enter the inner room.
Wei Ruo didn't know what Wei Jin was like to other people, but he would just shyly run away from her and would not intentionally offend her, let alone try to do something to her in the dead of night.
It is even safer to have him guarding outside than to fall asleep by herself, she can sleep with peace of mind.
So Wei Ruo doesn't know why she can't sleep.
Some images of getting along with Wei Jinyi unconsciously popped up in my mind. In my memory, his black gem-like eyes always looked at me deeply and deeply.
Especially after the goodbye in the capital, he always looks at himself with bottomless eyes, as if hiding many, many stories.
Across a screen, Wei Jin also did not fall asleep.
His hearing is extremely keen, and he can clearly hear Wei Ruo's breathing, and from Wei Ruo's breathing, he can tell that she is not asleep.
Why didn't she fall asleep?
Did something bother her?
Is it because he's here?
Although he couldn't see her, just by feeling that she was in the same space as him, hearing her breathing and slight movement on the bed, Wei Jin could feel his heart beating unusually.
He obviously poured out the bowl of decoction, but why did his body breathe heavily as if he drank the bowl of tonic soup?
In this way, from dark to dawn, neither of them managed to fall asleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Eunuch Gao led people to wait at the door, and when the people inside were summoned, he came in with washbasins, towels and toiletries for them to wash.
Because Wei Ruo didn't sleep well all night, the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, and his expression was very tired.
When Eunuch Gao saw this, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile. It seemed that yesterday's tonic soup had some effect, which made the princess suffer.
Looking at the situation of the prince, there is nothing unusual.
This is the best, I just hope to leave a queen for the prince on the premise of not hurting the prince.
On the afternoon of the second day, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also entered the boundary of Hejian Mansion, and arrived at Tongshan Temple on the third day.
The abbot of the temple had heard the news that Prince Rui and his wife came to offer incense early, and led a group of monks to wait at the gate of the temple.
Then Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also moved into the meditation room of the temple.
Because of Prince Rui's physical condition, Eunuch Gao arranged for the two of them to stay and rest first, and then go to various halls to offer incense and worship after resting.
In the next few days, the monks in the temple will do several prayers for Wei Jinyi, such as the Diamond Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra and so on.
After moving in, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin began to stay behind closed doors.
The two of them stayed in the room most of the time, and the only ones who could enter and leave the room to serve were their personal attendants and maids.
Because Wei Jin is also in poor health, no one suspects such behavior.
At the foot of the mountain, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also rode on the horses prepared in advance.
The two of them changed their appearance, and traveled as Xu Heyou and Wang Jin.
And this may be the last time Wei Ruo used the identity of Xu Heyou. This time, she intends to make this identity disappear when she goes back, and ask Lin Fang to make another human skin mask for her even if she changes her appearance again.
The two of them galloped on horseback in the wilderness, and the warm summer wind blew on Wei Ruo's face, which made Wei Ruo feel particularly good.
She didn't know how to ride a horse before, and she didn't have the opportunity to ride so happily after she learned it.
It is rare to have such an opportunity today, she can enjoy herself to the fullest.
Wei Jin also followed Wei Ruo closely. He knew that Wei Ruo was not proficient, so he followed her closely and kept a relatively close distance from her.
If something happens to her, he can protect her in time.
After riding for a while, the two slowed down.
Wei Ruo was panting slightly, her face was flushed.
She turned her head to Wei Jinyi, who was riding beside her on horseback: "Second Brother, you said that when you fulfill your wish in the future, will we have a chance to live such a carefree life for a long time?"
Wei Jin did not give an answer immediately.
He didn't want to commit lightly without being absolutely sure, and didn't want her to be hopeful and disappointed.
Wei Ruo also felt Wei Jinyi's uncertainty.
The two of them can't finish talking too early before the game is broken.
Wei Ruo smiled and said: "Second brother, you and I are in the same boat now, even if there is a good or bad, at least there is a companion on the road to Huangquan, it is better than walking alone, don't you think?"
Wei Jin also showed surprise in his eyes, and then there was a trace of warmth and warmth in his eyes.
"Ruo'er is right."
The two met each other with a smile and raised their whips again, speeding up.
