It was drizzling, and the sky and the earth seemed to be shrouded in smoke, misty.
Xuan Jinmo sat alone in this small shop. He was a frequent visitor here. He had come here often since he was a child when his mother was still there, asking for a bowl of rice porridge and a plate of pickles, and eating slowly.
Chew slowly to pass the time, especially on rainy days.
Only at this time did he feel that he was a human being, an ordinary person.
I could vaguely hear the sound of horse hooves. The road in front of this shop was a narrow bluestone, and there were small shops on both sides of the street. Everyone was busy at this time. Although there was noisy, the crisp sound of horse hooves still fell into my heart.
in the ears.
He smiled slightly, raised his head, and watched Tong Xiaoye, who was dressed in red, jumping off the horse and looking at him with a smile. He had never thought that red was an auspicious color. Even in his memory, red left
All that was left was the blood shed by her mother’s desperate struggle when she passed away.
However, the red dress on Tong Xiaoye brought with it a beauty that made him feel warm and at ease.
Her long black hair was loose and hanging on her shoulders, fluttering slightly in the drizzle. Her clean face, delicate eyebrows, shallow smile, and eyes full of love, as if the breeze blowing on her face, made Xuan Jinmo unable to help but feel deeply.
Take a deep breath.
There seems to be her refreshing and slightly sweet fragrance in the air.
That night, everything that could not be erased from his memory included this faint fragrance, which made him unable to resist kissing and breathing peacefully.
"Here we come." Xuan Jinmo asked lazily, stretching out his hand.
Tong Xiaoye smiled and put her hand into Xuan Jinmo's, sat down next to him, and said sweetly: "Here you are, are you in a hurry?"
"It's a blessing to wait for you to come." Xuan Jinmo stared at Tong Xiaoye's face and said softly. His eyes made Tong Xiaoye's face blush with shyness, and she lowered her head shyly, her hair hanging down, still
There was something wet about it, "I didn't even wear a hat, my hair was all wet."
Tong Xiaoye said softly: "I just got up and took a hot bath. I got the news and came out in a hurry. I didn't care whether my hair was dry or not. It has to be dry anyway, and it's still raining now. It's always going to be wet. It doesn't matter.
.”
Xuan Jinmo said pitifully: "Don't worry, I will wait."
Tong Xiaoye raised her head and blurted out: "I don't want you to wait, and I don't want to wait either, because -" she paused and continued, "because I hope to be by your side every moment."
"We will always be together, for the rest of our lives, no, for the rest of our lives." Xuan Jinmo held Tong Xiaoye's hand tightly and said word by word, "Even God can't take you away. I don't believe what Tianqi said.
, There is no unbreakable poison in this world, Xiaoye, believe me, I will do everything possible to keep you. If you leave, I will find you. No matter where you are, even if there is a separation between yin and yang, I will find you back.
"
Tong Xiaoye's expression changed slightly, then he immediately smiled and said, "What are Tianqi talking about?"
"He is not lying. Doctor Xu also told me that you are indeed poisoned by a strange poison, which is similar to the poison poisoned by the current emperor. If it were not for the need for him to prepare the antidote, there would be no need for his existence."
Xuan Jin said quietly, "The First Empress can live for a long time, and so can you. You will definitely live to leave with me."
"Maybe it's just the remnants of the poison you administered at that time. I'm weak and have been sick since I was a child, so that's why I'm like this. Dr. Xu is just being alarmist." Tong Xiaoye said with a soft smile.
Xuan Jinmo hesitated for a moment and said quietly: "Xiaoye, when you got married, I did poison you, but I didn't really poison you with one of the three poisons. I just chose one.
This kind of poison that easily causes pain will only temporarily fatigue your body, just like a serious illness, but it will not make you suffer from any other condition."
Tong Xiaoye looked at Xuan Jinmo in astonishment.
Xuan Jinmo smiled bitterly and said softly: "I can't do it. I thought I could, but when I faced you, I couldn't do it. So I tell you, deceiving you is one of the three poisons.
Because the pain caused by the poison I administered will vary depending on the psychology of the poisoned person, you might think that if you are poisoned by poison, you will have similar pain."
Tong Xiaoye looked at Xuan Jinmo quietly and listened to him with a smile.
"I'm even glad that I didn't put the long sword I was wearing in the middle of the bed." Xuan Jinmo also smiled and said softly, "You scared me at that time."
Recalling the time when she accidentally injured her arm with a long sword, Tong Xiaoye smiled softly and said softly: "It has been healed for a long time. Wumeng country is rich in strange medicines, so the injury is nothing. How is your injury? It's nothing.
You should have a good rest."
"It's okay." Xuan Jinmo said with a smile, "However, I really didn't dare to go anymore because I was afraid that you would hurt yourself with the sword again. I just went over to take a look after you fell asleep in the middle of the night to see that you still put the sword in the middle.
, I’m really angry and annoyed, but I can’t do anything about you.”
Tong Xiaoye smiled sweetly and said coquettishly: "No more, I'm hungry. It smells so fragrant, what kind of porridge is it?"
"Okay." Xuan Jinmo said with a faint smile, "The porridge and rice should be ready."
Tong Xiaoye looked around. Although the store was open, no one was coming in or out, and no one was looking around. It seemed that he had been used to this situation for a long time.
"Jin Mo, you won't take over the whole place, right?" Tong Xiaoye asked curiously.
"Haha, no." Xuan Jinmo smiled faintly and said gently, "Because this is my shop originally. You are looking at me with this expression. How about you try the porridge and rice cooked by me? I have already made it early.
I'm here, I'm done, and then I asked my close associates to call you."
Tong Xiaoye watched in surprise as Xuan Jinmo put two bowls of porridge on the table, and also placed a plate of very finely chopped pickles, carefully seasoned with red dried chili peppers and sesame oil.
"Did you really do it yourself?" Tong Xiaoye asked in disbelief.
"Try it. Compared with the fish soup I drank before, which one tastes better?" Xuan Jin smiled silently, scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Tong Xiaoye's mouth.
Tong Xiaoye swallowed the porridge and said softly: "It tastes really good."
"If it tastes good, drink more." Xuan Jinmo said gently.
Tong Xiaoye smiled and nodded. The porridge was a little hot, so she blew on it and drank it slowly.
Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Xiaoye slowly drinking porridge, smiled slightly, and said: "When I was young, about four or five years old, I was bullied by my two half-brothers and was blocked in a certain place.
Chu gave her a severe beating, but no one paid attention to her. My mother happened to be away from home. She must have been with Mu Ruokun at that time, because at that time, my mother was pregnant with Jinyan."
