Li Yu did not enter Penglai City, he parted ways with He Guanglie's men outside the city, and went to Donghuandao under the escort of Cheng Yan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He Linwan was not surprised when he learned the news from He Guanglie, Li Yu had already been delayed for a lot of time on the road, even if he wanted to enter Penglai City to rest for a while, He Guanglie, who already knew the plans of the five princes, would not dare to keep him.
"Out-of-town refugees?" He Linwan looked up at He Guanglie.
He Guanglie said: "The fifth prince just wants to get rid of Li Yu under the cover of the exiles, but I have already informed Gongsun Xian of this matter. β
He Linwan couldn't help frowning when he thought of something: "You said that there were only you and Yan Hui around the five princes at that time, if the news leaked and the five princes' plan failed, father, I am afraid that you will not escape the suspicion......"
He Guanglie interrupted indifferently: "Even if the fifth prince has suspicions, he can't do anything to me for a while." It's just that that's all I can do, Penglai City has Xue Xingyi, and if I move too much, I will be discovered. β
When He Linwan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Father, you have already done your duty, and you don't need to ask about the next things." β
He Guanglie looked at He Linwan's gaze with a rare sense of majesty and sharpness: "It's good that you know! β
He Linwan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Knowing my father, I won't go anywhere." "Are you still worried that she won't be able to sneak away to see Li Yu?
He Guanglie squinted his eyes and looked at He Linwan carefully, and saw that she didn't look like she was perfunctory, so her face looked a little better. In fact, He Guanglie's worries are not unreasonable, in his opinion, a woman who is willing to unconditionally help a man who is not related to him is nothing more than a fancy to him, Li Yu He Guanglie has also seen it, and that appearance can indeed hook the little girl to go to the soup for him.
"Appearance is the most useless thing for men, you must remember not to judge people by their appearance!" He Guanglie rarely taught his daughter seriously.
He Linwan pretended to be ignorant: "A man should be like his father?"
He Guanglie wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, glanced at Wei Shi, who was sitting not far away with a pen and drawing patterns, coughed and said slightly: "Of course, there is no shortage of perfect men with outstanding abilities and great looks in this world, if you can meet such a person, it must be the ancestral tomb that is smoking." β
He Linwan followed He Guanglie's gaze and nodded with a smile.
This night is destined to be an eventful night, just after the end of the hour, someone knocked on the door of the He family to the sky, when the lights in the main room were turned on, He Linwan woke up, and the spring dawn on duty was still asleep. As soon as he opened the door of the west chamber, he saw that He Guanglie was already dressed and strode out behind a mother-in-law carrying a lantern.
Seeing He Lin coming out late, He Guanglie took the lantern from his mother-in-law's hand and ordered: "Go and see if the horse is ready." Then he walked towards the West Chamber.
"Father, what's wrong?" Even on a starless and moonless winter night, He Linwan could see He Guanglie's tightly locked brows.
He Guanglie was just about to speak, when he saw that He Linwan was only wearing a thin jacket, and his brows couldn't help but rise: "Why do you wear so little! Who let you come out! Go back!"
Fortunately, Chunxiao, who heard the movement at this time, chased after him with a thick wool cloak and quickly put it on He Linwan.
He Guanglie glared at the master and servant, and heard the urging outside, so he hurriedly said to He Linwan: "As soon as the prince came to the island, he had a conflict with a group of refugees, and the east ring island was set on fire by someone, and the fifth prince asked me to take someone to the island to have a look." β
"Who set the fire?" He Linwan immediately grasped the point.
He Guanglie glanced at Chunxiao, shook his head at He Linwan, and then said, "I don't know, it was the refugees who set the fire." β
He Linwan understood that He Guanglie just shook his head and meant that the fire was not let by the five princes, and he understood that the five princes asked He Guanglie to take people to the island, it must be more than just to see the situation.
The people waiting outside were urging again, He Guanglie was in a hurry to go out, so he didn't say much to He Linwan, and explained: "I'll go and see, don't worry about going back to sleep." "And left.
Seeing He Guanglie striding out of the courtyard, He Linwan turned his head and saw that the light in the main room was still on, knowing that Wei was also awake, afraid that Wei was worried that He Linwan tightened the cloak on his body and walked towards the main room.
Wei Shi had really woken up, sitting at the head of the bed with his jacket on, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he saw He Linwan coming in, he reproached: "Why are you here? Is it cold? Come up and warm up!"
He Linwan obediently took off her cloak and climbed into Wei's bed, and Wei immediately grabbed her somewhat cold hand and put it on his stomach to warm it.
He Linwan leaned on Wei's warm arms and felt very relieved, and couldn't help but call softly: "Mother." β
Wei Shi replied and hugged her tighter: "What's wrong?
He Linwan shook his head.
Seeing that He Linwan didn't speak, Wei touched her head.
"Ah Wan, do you like it here?" Wei suddenly asked softly.
He Linwan raised his head when he heard this: "Why does my mother ask that?"
Wei sighed: "The day before yesterday, there was another letter from Jingzhong, and your grandmother specially asked about you. I think she seems to mean that she intends to let you go back to Beijing. β
He Linwan thought for a while: "Grandmother has time to worry about my affairs, it seems that the Wei family is hopeful." β
Wei couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw that He Linwan could think of such a distance after hearing her say this, but he still followed her words and said: "On Fan Xiang's birthday this year, the saint specially sent a congratulatory gift to Fan Xiang, and praised Fan Xiang for being the minister of the humerus many times, and it was rumored that the saint intended to let Fan Xiang return to the court. If Fan Xiang recovers, Lord Wei, Fan Xiang's protΓ©gΓ©, will definitely be able to be reused. β
He Linwan nodded and yawned: "Mother, I don't want to go back to Beijing, I want to be with you." β
Wei's heart softened when he heard this: "My mother is reluctant to let you go back to Beijing alone, if you have to go, my mother will go back with you." β
He Linwan knew that Wei and He Guanglie had a deep relationship, but she was willing to endure the separation from He Guanglie and his wife for her sake, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only say coquettishly in a nasal voice: "Isn't it okay if we don't go back?
Wei naturally didn't want to go back, but after thinking about it, she hesitated: "Ah Wan, after all, you have grown up, and it is about to be time to say goodbye." Wei knew that He Linwan was smart, and he also knew that she was not like ordinary boudoir women who were shy and at a loss when they mentioned marriage, so they said it bluntly.
He Linwan was coquettish: "Mother, are you willing to sweep me out of the house so early?"
Wei couldn't help but laugh.
In her heart, her daughter is still a child who needs to be cared for, and she can't imagine that she will marry a man now and have children, and she will have to set rules in front of her mother-in-law all day long, fight with a group of concubines, and even intrigue with the warblers and Yanyan in her husband's backyard.
It's just that as He Lin gets older and more calm, and he becomes delicate and beautiful, there are more people who try her mouth openly and secretly, and even ......
Seeing Wei's brows furrowed, He Lin immediately raised his hand to smooth it out for her: "Mother, I'm still young, you can keep me for a few more years." β
Wei sighed, looked at his daughter's little face that was somewhat similar to himself, and suddenly asked with some hesitation: "Ah Wan, you seem to be particularly concerned about that son?"
He Linwan said casually: "I have had a few encounters, and he has helped me a few times, but that's all, there is not much to do with it, after all, ...... Not all the way. β
Wei also relieved when he saw that He Linwan said calmly, worried that his daughter was not the only one who secretly promised Li Shizifang.
He Linwan remembered the five-year contract with Li Yu, it was already the fifth year, and after the deadline, the two married separately and had nothing to do with each other. She really helped Li Yu out of interest considerations, even if there was a little bit of childhood friendship, how much could she have left now? The world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are changeable.
Wei saw that He Linwan was quiet, thinking that she was asleep, so he didn't make a sound again.
Unfortunately, they were not destined to sleep peacefully that night.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Shi and He Linwan were woken up by the sound of gongs outside, He Linwan was not asleep, and immediately sat up alertly when he heard the movement.
Wei also woke up: "Why is it so noisy outside, what's wrong?"
At this time, Mama Li ran in in a panic: "Oh no, madam, it's out of the water!"
Wei Shi was frightened, and immediately sobered up: "Where's the little tiger?
He Linwan immediately took Wei's hand: "Mother, I'm here, don't worry, the place where you listen to the movement and walk the water is still far from us, Mama, do you know where to go to the water?"
Mama Li also reacted that she scared Wei's, and immediately said: "Madam, it's the Xinglin Lane two streets away that takes the water, don't worry, no matter how big the fire is, it won't burn for a while and a half!"
Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart still carried it: "Send someone to see the situation, it's dry on this day, and it's easy to burn." Send some more people to help put out the fire! By the way, the gate will also be guarded!"
Seeing that several big maids also got up and came to the main room, Wei immediately ordered them to bring Xiaohuzi to the main room.
The little tiger was soon brought in, and the little boy also wore a saber on his waist, and when he walked in, he was full of tigers, and stood in front of Wei and He Linwan.
The people sent by Mama Li to inquire about the situation had not yet returned, and the five princes sent someone to say that the fire was too big, and for the sake of safety, let the Wei family and them go to a safe place to avoid it, and then come back when the fire was extinguished.
The streets around here are all inhabited by officials from Dengzhou City, and the five princes not only let people pick up Wei's family, but also other officials and dependents, and Wei's family members are also not easy to refuse, so they put on thick clothes for their children and take them in the car and leave the house.
