Chapter 28:

"Where is the lantern that you asked you to bring back?"
Su Jin's voice this time was not gentle, and even brought a bit of tight repression, but Huiming was not why, always felt like he heard a hint of care from this calm question.
It's just that Huiming didn't tell her to relax because of this. He lowered his head when he heard the words, and replied in a very regular manner as before: "In the house." After a pause, thinking of something, he quickly added: " I forgot, I will send it back with my father-in-law tomorrow."
As if he was waiting for the broken lantern specifically for her!
Su Jin's eyes were sinking slightly, and it was clear that before today, she was not so polite, she still smiled and looked close when she talked to him. It seems that his words and deeds in the morning still made her aware...
That's right, Huiming has always been keen, and there are many things that people don't need to show clearly.
In this way, it's better to stay away from him, so as not to fall into the eyes of those who are interested, if there is anything else... it will make him regret it.
Su Jin thought so in his heart, but under the darkness of night, his eyes were a little deeper than this night. He opened his mouth, facing her, as if holding a fragile in his hand. His treasures are not too light or too heavy. They are only born with a heavy burden in my heart, yet they cannot speak to others a word.
There was silence for a long time, until Huiming felt something was wrong. He raised his head and discerned the face of Grandpa Su from the darkness. Su Jin was suddenly surprised, but worried about what Huiming would see, and took a step back. , The dark night that only completely concealed.
Huiming didn't expect many of them. He just felt that he had already met up and said nothing, and had made an appointment to return the lantern. It was already very good, so he decided to take it right away and blessed himself: "If there is nothing wrong, I will go first." After a pause, he said with concern: "It's not early, father-in-law rests earlier." After all, seeing that there was no response from Grandpa Su, he passed the two of them and moved forward. went.
Su Jin's expression suddenly softened because of her concern. He stood there and watched Huiming's back walk for more than ten steps. After all, he couldn't let it go, and only turned his side to the ingot messenger. Winks.
Yuan Bao was very clever today. He didn't make Master worry a little bit. As soon as he received this look, he picked up the lantern and ran after Huiming.
"Wait, please!" Yuan Bao stopped Huiming, and smiled diligently: "It's late, I'll take you there."
Huiming stopped when he heard the words, and looked at the father Su who was a little hesitant, and Yuan Bao knew the opportunity again: "Don't worry, you haven't walked this road a few times. We are all used to this road. The pits and hurdles are clearly memorized, and there is nothing wrong with Master without the lights!"
Seeing Yuan Bao said this, Huiming thanked him for the kindness, because Grandpa Su was not far behind, so he lowered his voice and asked, "You come to see me off, and Grandpa Su will not blame you when you go back?"
Yuan Bao deliberately explained a few words for her master, but she was worried that Su Jin would hear it, so she only replied in a lower voice than Huiming: "Of course not! Actually, it was the master who asked me to come. Don’t get me wrong. I'm worried about my aunt, but I'm embarrassed. Don't blame him!"
Huiming always felt that Grandpa Su was a good-hearted person, and he agreed with Yuan Bao's words: "I understand naturally. Grandpa is so kind to me. I really want to repay you. You help me. Tell me one or two, let the father-in-law do not care, take into account these useless reputations, it is part of me."
Although the "misunderstanding" and "cause" mentioned by the two are not the same thing, at this moment they have reached a high degree of agreement magically. At the moment, they only nod their heads, feeling that the other party has understood what they mean. There was a sense of acquaintance, and the more he talked about it, the more he rose up. Before he knew it, he had passed the door where Su Jin was, and went straight into it.
It’s just that Su Jin, who has been in front of his house, has not been too far and fallen behind him, obviously is not good to continue to follow. He stood on the spot, quietly watching the two people who were extremely close, whispering and chatting together. The journey went farther, until the light of the lantern was almost invisible like a flashing firefly.
Su Jin originally thought that he had tasted enough of the many sufferings in the world, and thought that the deliberate neglect of Huiming these few days had made him sad enough, but only now did he realize that resentment and hatred, love parting, and begging No, it turns out that the suffering of the five accumulative aggregates is not the end. To Huiming, in addition to his past feelings, he will actually give birth to such a kind that he has never had before, but it is meticulous and dense, only called the palm The cold pain came.
He knew from the bottom of his heart that the scene before him was not what he thought, and he also understood that this emotion was unreasonable, but the strange pain was still uncontrollable, so that he didn't even care about the origin of Yuanbao. Regardless of the former affection, only a cold killing intent came into being in an instant.
Yuan Baoyou didn’t notice, he sent Huiming all the way, and he kept boasting his master all the way. After sending Huiming into Mother Xu’s courtyard, he was consciously satisfied and happily. Turned around and turned back--
Until inadvertently almost hit the black shadow standing at the door.
A cold wind blew in, and the palms of Yuanbao's palms trembled, and even the Qifeng Lantern in his hand dropped out.
The lantern in the palace is made of fine white mulberry paper. Even if it is ignited by a flame, it can’t be easily burned for a while. The ingot lowered its head and swept over the lantern on the ground, but it was completely ignored. , Only screamed "Master."
Su Jin had already recovered at this moment, but his complexion was still faint and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. His cool gaze swept past Yuan Bao's complexion, and he turned straight around: "Go back."
He didn't intend to ask what the former ingot had said, not only because he knew that his narrow mind was really inexplicable and unreasonable, but also because of his affection and conscience. Today, these things have already been cleansed by him. The reason why he didn’t ask about it was because it was Huiming, the only piece of pure land in his heart. He didn’t want to, and couldn’t take it away. The general guesswork is placed on Huiming.

At the same time, Huiming, who had already walked to the door of Mother Xu, naturally did not think of Father Su's thoughts. She stood at the door and yelled twice. When someone agreed, she lifted the curtain and entered the house.
There were more than a dozen candles burning in the room, and everything was clearly illuminated, but when you entered the door, the first thing people noticed was not the decoration in the house, but the smell of bitter medicine everywhere.
Huiming walked around the wooden screen at the door, and saw Mother Xu sitting on the Arhat couch, her trouser legs high above her knees, her feet soaked in the hot water, and there was a rough little maid on the side. To help add water, Mother Xu took a bottle of greenish brown medicinal oil, poured it in her hand and smeared it on her knees. This pungent medicine smell came from this.
"Why are you here at this hour?" Mother Xu glanced up at her and asked unhurriedly.
Ashamed, after Huiming offended Aunt Wei, she was able to gain a foothold in the Palace of Gan De, and she couldn’t do without the support and care of her mother, but she was only thinking about the life of Grandpa Su, which was added a few days ago. Regarding the condition of Madam Wang, His Royal Highness Seven, although she had known that Madam Xu had severe rheumatism, she hadn't come to take a good look these days except for a pair of knee pads.
Although her intention to come today was for Grandpa Su, since she has already come, Huiming, who is ashamed, greeted her, so she only asked Mother Xu to lean back, and she rolled up her sleeves and took the medicated oil. , Carefully rubbed and rubbed it on Mother Xu’s knee.
I don’t know what the origin of this medicated oil is, but it is very irritating to start with. After a long time, Huiming’s palm has a faint burning sensation. Mother Xu obviously knows this very well. After a while, he stretched out his hand to stop her, and said solemnly: "In a while, you won't be able to catch up with the Gande Palace. If the person called Ming Zhengji finds it out, I won't give you this burden. What are you looking for?"
Huiming smiled: "It's more than half an hour. It's too late. It's really okay. Just looking at the wind in the past few days, and seeing you haven't been to Yuqian for a long time, come and see how you are."
"Nonsense, it's so cold in the sky. It's not a day and a half since I didn't go to the Imperial Front. I didn't see you so respectful..." Mother Xu still shook her head sharply in disbelief, just looking at her complexion, but it was already Obviously loosened a lot.
Upon seeing this, Huiming remembered what Grandpa Su said last time, "Mother Xu looked stubborn and stubborn, but inside is softer", the inside is also soft, bringing a bit of sincere intimacy: " It's natural to come to honor you, but it's just that you came here with Father Su."
When Mother Xu heard this, not only was she not angry, but she was pleased to see what happened, and she showed a smile: "When you came to the Palace of Virtue, I looked at it coldly. You were reluctant, and it was forced. No, it's rare that you want to drive now, he is also a poor one, you two, just live your life well!"
Hearing what Mother Xu said, Huiming didn’t make any excuses. He even lowered his head deliberately following the words, showing a bit of shyness:
Last time I was taught by the mother, I also asked in private. The father-in-law had his own deaths."
Mother Xu closed her eyes slightly: "Can Manager Su tell you?"
"Yes, I already know." Huiming nodded slightly, and then seriously asked: "It's just that I still want to ask my mother, how on earth is this family background, I was ransacked? Afraid to bring up this sad thing, I didn't dare to ask Grandpa Su, so I thought about asking your old man."
Fearing that he could not speak up about Su Gonggong’s sadness, it is certainly a time, but more importantly, it is the situation that Su Gonggong did to avoid suspicion. Huiming wants to speak now, but he has no chance. She thought about it, and she had to take advantage of the fact that everyone thought that Grandpa Su was really interested in her, and came to ask Grandma Xu clearly. Otherwise, in the short term, she was afraid that there was really nowhere to know the reason.
Mother Xu paused when she heard the words, and was silent for a moment, then waved her hand to tell the little palace lady who helped her to fill her with water. Huiming looked straight when she saw her, and waited quietly for a while, and she heard Mother Xu. He shook his head: "What else can it be for such an emperor's relatives, the crime of being able to rob the family and destroy the door is nothing more than that, it is just that different. It's a red book and iron coupons."
Huiming frowned, collaborating with the enemy and treason? Although she has lived in the palace for a long time and has no knowledge of state affairs, she can also detect that this statement is wrong. The stately king, this is almost the top lord in the DPRK. Moreover, Morty and her own daughter are the queens in the DPRK, and the East Palace. He is a grandson who is connected by blood. What advantage did he do to collaborate with the enemy and treason? Can you still be a king or emperor?
Huiming thought so, so she asked like that, but Mother Xu frowned when she heard the words, and only shook her head: "That's what I say, but people are not sages, and they always make mistakes. ..."
After all, without waiting for Huiming to speak again, Mother Xu said solemnly: "Guo Xianzhen made a big mistake, and he is to blame for this end. Your Majesty is kind, and it is extraordinarily special for the sake of the first pure queen and the first prince. Kaien didn't rush to kill him, and he believed in Director Su so much. Even the first queen's sacrifices were made to him. You saw this..."
"The past and the dust have returned to the dust. It's right that you didn't rush to ask. It's all about the past." Mother Xu said, she shook her head again, just a pair. Unwilling to talk in detail, she didn't even give her a second chance to speak. After a few words, she just said that it was not early, and urged her to return to the Palace of Gande.
Although Hui Ming was unwilling, but seeing that he really couldn't ask anything at this moment, he had to put it down for the time being, and still carefully helped Mother Xu to apply the medicinal oil. This cleansed his hands and turned to Qiande Hall. Go inside.
Liu'an in the room was already asleep. Hearing the movement of her coming back, he got up to help fetch water. Huiming quickly stopped, and took off his coat outside at the door to reward him. He could not do anything else, so he just took Su Father-in-law took out the hexagonal palace lantern that she brought back to her last time, put it on the cage and gently wiped it clean with a soft cloth. After thinking about the situation when returning the lantern tomorrow, he went to wash and sleep.
