Chapter 8: The Secret Summoning
Seeing that Xin Yi's eyes were calm, she didn't seem to be listening at all, Sun Yuling was not interested, put down her satin and twisted the waist of the water snake and left, only her chatter came from afar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The rich are restless every day, and the poor are happy every year...... Things in this world are often reversed......"
The last vague sentence fell on Xin Yi's ears, like a thunderclap on a sunny day, which made her tremble, and the satin on her knees fell to the ground with a thud.
Things in the world are often reversed.
Xin Yi suddenly felt that the little cat hidden in the corner in her heart screamed strangely, and then pounced on her.
"Anti-...... Then, the Lu family, the queen, and the three princes may also be opposed......" Xin Yi muttered, flashing through his mind, "The Lu family seems to have won, but in fact it has not won, and the most wronged three princes may be the winners......"
Xin Yi's eyes were calm inch by inch, and it was a dead silence precipitated after the waves surged, so silent that it was chilling to the bones.
In the superimposed memories of the two reigns of Xin Yi, the third prince, Li Jingting. Xiuyi Wu's out. is not favored or disgraced, has no merit and no fault, and belongs to a character who cannot be found if he is thrown into a group of people called "prince".
Hit the grass, scare the snake. Xin Yi seemed to have guessed which snake she was surprised of.
This is her turnaround. It's also her life.
The cicadas are chirping, and the sun is in the sky. The thousands of volumes in the floating building are like golden light, spread by the fragrance of ink baked by the sun, cutting out a silent shadow between the bookshelves.
Xin Yi stayed in the floating chariot building all night, and then fell asleep, and the green butterfly came to find her and brought her a brocade quilt.
When the early morning sunlight entered the study building, the cicadas in the courtyard were already hissing.
Xin Yi opened his eyes and realized that another day and night had passed, and there was still no movement. Her heart cooled suddenly.
Could it be that my conjecture has been wrong all along? I thought that I was getting rid of the killing machine step by step, but in fact, I was pushing myself into real danger step by step?
When the old lady returns to the house this morning, she will be expelled from the house, and there is already a noise in the front yard to welcome the old lady. However, when Xin Qi appeared at the door of the floating chariot building alone, Xin Yi's troubled heart instantly calmed down.
Wrong. If you want to mention her to the old lady to confess her guilt and then expel from the house, there is no reason for Xin Qi to come alone.
"Greetings to Daddy. Xin Yi stood up and saluted in an orderly manner.
Xin Qi didn't pay attention to her, but respectfully retreated to the side, and the old waist was bowed at ninety degrees: "Manager Wu, this is the little girl." ”
Xin Yi realized that Xin Qi was followed by a middle-aged man. The reunion face, the shy belly, and the dark green brocade clothes are a little more luxurious than Xinqi.
Chief Wu glanced at Xin Yi a few times, pinched his throat and said, "Sixth girl Xin, let's go with the minions." ”
Immediately, regardless of Xin Yi's intentions, someone came up from the dark, covered Xin Yi's eyes with a black cloth, and then stuffed her into a sedan chair.
Xin Yi didn't resist, and he heard the head of the sedan car say to Xin Qi, "Lord Xin, this is a secret summons from the master..."
"Yes, yes, Weichen remembers. Up and down this Xin Mansion, except for Wei Chen, there will be no second person who knows. Weichen will declare to the public that the little girl has contracted a fever because of staying in the study building at night, and it is not suitable to see guests. ”
"Lord Xin is a smart man. Let's go!"
The sedan chair swayed forward, and no one spoke. Xin Yi felt that he had left the mansion, came to the outskirts of Chang'an City, and then entered a mansion. The mansion seemed to be very wide, and the sedan chair did not stop for half an hour.
Xin Yi was calm in his heart, and even had a hint of joy. She didn't miscalculate in the end, this is her turning point, and she can break the game in one opportunity.
And from the magnificent mansion that didn't come to an end for half an hour and the "Wu" surname of the manager, she became more and more sure which snake she was startling out.
When the black cloth in front of him was removed, Xin Yi was already in a grand hall. There are not many furnishings and decorations around, but the best rosewood of the same color secretly shows the calm and nobility of the owner.
In the north of the hall is an agarwood couch, the couch is placed on the case, there is a chess game on the case, and a famous young man sits in front of the chess game, he holds the son and ponders, and ignores the Xin Yi under the hall.
There were only these two people in the hall, the door of the hall was closed, the cicadas were silent, and only the faint sound of the man dropping the chess piece was heard.
Xin Yi looked at the man unhurriedly. In his early twenties, he has a long body, and his face lines are as clear as a knife carving, hard and handsome, and he has a pair of eagle eyes on his face. He wore a hosta hairpin, and wore a dark green pleated embroidered round-necked robe with bats and pomegranate flowers, and the makeup satin was the material that was only paid tribute this summer.
The corners of Xin Yi's mouth curled slightly, and he saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The people's daughter Xin Yi greets the Third Highness." ”
Li Jingting didn't respond in the slightest, and didn't even turn his head to look at Xin Yi. He stared at the chess case, as if he was completely immersed in the game.
It wasn't until Xin Yi's legs were numb that Li Jingting said leisurely: "The boudoir jokes that Miss Xin Liu is a wooden ruler." Since it is a precept, how can you not know the ancient precept of not seeing your husband before marriage?"
Xin Yi's heart was happy, but his face became more and more calm. She could see that the game was unraveling along her plan, but the more time it was, the more she couldn't mess around.
Because she is facing, although she is unknown, she is the prince of Dawei.
"Because I heard that Lu Gongzi is too ugly. The more the girl thinks about it before she gets married, the more heartwarming she becomes, so she thinks about meeting each other, and she can get on the sedan chair with peace of mind. ”
Xin Yi said the coquettish words of her little daughter, but there was no trace of warmth in her tone.
"Really..."Li Jingting sneered, intentionally or unintentionally dropping the chess pieces.
There was a bang, like the terrible sound of a guillotine cutting off a man's head,
Xin Yi's face was as good as before, and the cold air between his eyebrows was a little thicker: "Your Highness is angry." Is it wrong for the folk girl to say something? Could it be that the folk girl is not on a sedan chair, but on Huangquan Road. ”
Li Jingting's fingertips froze for a moment, and then the chess pieces fell, silently, and a large piece of the opponent's chess pieces was instantly taken away. He was playing against himself.
The hall was silent.
After a while, Xin Yi's quiet words came: "Moreover, it is not the Lu family, but His Highness's Huangquan Road." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Jingting's fingertip chess pieces fell fiercely, and the sheep fat jade chess pieces were instantly broken into two halves.
A killing intent suddenly rose in the hall, and Xin Yi seemed to be able to hear the slight sound of the shadow guards' long swords slowly pulling out their scabbards.
Xin Yi's forehead instinctively soaked in cold sweat, but her eyes became more and more burning to look at Li Jingting.
The more abnormal it is, the more it can confirm Li Jingting's suspicion. The more dead it is, the more vitality is hidden.
Reliving her life, she has no other choice but this life, and there is nothing else to be afraid of.
Such a confrontation seems to have passed for a long time, and it seems to be only for a moment.
Li Jingting's face softened suddenly, and he said lightly, "Stand down", and the killing intent in the room suddenly dissipated.
"How do you know?" Li Jingting calmly re-grasped the chess, as if nothing had happened just now.
Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and the snow color flashed across his eyes: "It's not the little guy sent by Gongzi Lu, his brain is stupid, and his tone is not strict." ”
"Lu Zhao's little servant?"
However, from the leaky mouth of the little guy, the folk girl only guessed Lu Gongzi's murderous intentions. It was calculated that it was related to His Highness, because His Highness suddenly summoned the people in secret, so he gambled. ”
