013: Midnight visitor
readx;? Lou Yueqing has been living in Gusu City for several days, and every day except for reading, painting, and writing in her own residence, she has never left the city lord's mansion once. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Taking advantage of her opportunity here, Duanmu Hanxi prepared some tonic medicine for her to recuperate, because she came to Kwai Shui before, her body was a little lacking in qi and blood, and she looked fine these days, but in fact, she was also a little weak, and Kwai Shui came every month, I don't know if it will be so serious next time, I have already lost too much blood and has not made up for it, if I come again, I am afraid that it will really kill her, so Duanmu Huanxi prescribed some prescriptions for blood tonic medicinal diet, and now that Lou Yueqing is here, Duanmu Huanxi is naturally happy to stare at Lou Yueqing every day to drink medicine。
Being stared at by Duanmu Hanxi, Lou Yueqing really didn't dare to cheat, and every time she drank not a drop left, so after only drinking for two days, her face turned a lot ruddy.
Duanmu Hanxi's medical skills are extremely high, and she has studied Lou Yueqing's cold poison for more than ten years, so she naturally knows what medicine is best for her body, so the prescriptions prescribed are also very beneficial to Lou Yueqing, and after only eating for a few days, the whole person looks a lot more energetic, her face is ruddy, and she no longer looks a little weak like before.
Duanmu Xixi's recipe, Mo Yan came to boil, and the taste was not difficult to stomach, anyway, Lou Yueqing was quite happy to eat.
In the afternoon, the wind and the sun are beautiful.
The city lord's mansion, which was originally a little deserted, suddenly sounded a burst of melodious and pleasant guzheng sound, the music was crisp and tactful, very beautiful, like a spring dingdong, and like a horse rattle, the ethereal sound seemed to be in the valley, making people feel as if they were in the scene when they heard it, and people were intoxicated.
In the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the sound of the piano is heard.
Duanmu Hanxi leaned on the beauty couch and slept for a while, as if she was taking a nap, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and the hand placed on her waist was rhythmically flicked with the sound of the music, which showed that she had not fallen asleep at this time.
Three thousand white silk fell in front of the beauty couch and poured down, like a waterfall.
Not far from her, Lou Yueqing sat on the ground, with a beautifully made guzheng in front of her, she sat there, her head was slightly polished, her face was smiling, her slender and tender jade fingers were caressing the strings, or kneading, or slipping, or hooking, or pressing, the technique was skillful, and bursts of music flowed out from under her fingertips, lingering in her ears, echoing in the courtyard sky, and even the entire city lord's mansion could faintly hear this pleasant and crisp piano sound.
The music sounded for a long time, and no one disturbed it during this period, and Lou Yueqing kept playing, Duanmu Huanxi leaned on the beauty couch and moved her fingers with the rhythm of the instrument, which showed that she was extremely enjoyable.
The song was closed, Lou Yueqing slowly put her hand on the strings, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The moment she stopped, Duanmu slowly opened her eyes.
looked at Lou Yueqing, who was sitting there with his back to him not far away, and chuckled, "I haven't heard a song that I played without worry for a long time, I miss it very much, and now I can be regarded as a blessing!"
As soon as the voice came out, Lou Yueqing came back to her senses, slowly stood up, walked to the low table in front of the beauty couch and sat down, took a sip of tea and didn't speak.
Seeing that Lou Yueqing didn't speak, Duanmu Hanxi slowly sat up and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lou Yueqing raised her head and looked at Duanmu Xixi and shook her head slowly, "It's okay......"
When Duanmu Huanxi heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he slowly stood up and sat opposite Lou Yueqing, looked at Lou Yueqing and asked, "Do you have anything to worry about?"
Although it was a question, it had an affirmative tone.
Lou Yueqing raised her eyes, do you have something on her mind?
Duanmu Hanxi said with a smile, "When you come this time, I always feel that you are very different from before, did you encounter something in Chujing?"
This child was brought up by her, so she naturally knows a little better than others, this time Lou Yueqing came here, the mood between her eyebrows and eyes is very different from before, but she can't tell what is different, she only feels a little familiar.
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing disagreed, lowered her eyebrows, "Master is too worried, what can I encounter?"
She was sure that Duanmu Xixi didn't know about her and Rong Zhi, and she didn't want Duanmu Xixi to know, so naturally no one would dare to talk more, so she naturally couldn't let her know about this matter now.
Duanmu Hanxi didn't ask, but looked at Lou Yueqing's demeanor, and said with a smile, "It seems that I have thought too much, but you told me before that you have found the spirit fox, and the master is curious, I have not found it for several months, where did I find it?"
Naturally, when the first day arrived, Lou Yueqing confessed about the spirit fox, otherwise Duanmu Huanxi would definitely still be worried, knowing that Lou Yueqing had found it, Duanmu Huanxi was very happy.
However, after thinking about it, she was very puzzled, the spirit fox is not something that can be found at will, she searched for a long time, only to know that there is Qianxi Island in the East China Sea, so she went to Qianxi Island, but was seriously injured for some reasons, but; she didn't know what it was like for most of the past six months, where did she get the opportunity to find the spirit fox?
Lou Yueqing naturally couldn't say that it was sent by Rong Zhi, otherwise, with Duanmu Hanxi's sensitive mind, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide it, so she said, "I got it by chance, how I got it, I'm afraid I can't tell Master, but since I already have it, Master shouldn't worry about it!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Hanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Lou Yueqing, how did she feel that this girl was a little different.
In the past, Lou Yueqing never hid anything from her, but since she woke up last year, she found that this child was always preoccupied, although she was always full of worries before, but she never had anything to hide from herself, but now somehow, now she rarely takes the initiative to talk to herself, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see through.
Seeing Duanmu Xixi looking at herself like this, Lou Yueqing smiled lightly, "What's the matter, did you say the wrong thing without worry?"
Duanmu Hanxi smiled, suppressed the incomprehension and doubts in his heart, and looked at Lou Yueqing with a gentle expression, "Not really, I just feel that I have grown up without worry!"
Lou Yueqing was stunned.
Duanmu Hanxi changed the topic, "Since I have found the spirit fox, when my injury is healed, I will go to Chujing to help you detoxify, but you have to think clearly, detoxification will come at a price!"
As for the price, Lou Yueqing knew it very well in her heart.
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she bit her lower lip lightly and lowered her eyes silently.
She naturally knows that there are gains and losses, and if she resolves the cold poison, she gives up the internal force in her body, and in this life, she can only live like now.
If she doesn't solve the cold poison, the cold poison is sealed in her body, which is her biggest hidden danger, and there is a hidden danger of cold poison attacks at any time.
The coldness that seemed to have her soul embedded in an iceberg, the despair that was frozen to the point of disconsciousness, she had had enough.
With a slight sigh, Duanmu Hanxi slowly stood up, slowly walked to the outside of the pavilion, and a helpless voice came in, "The ice lake at the bottom of the cliff of no return, I don't know how many people have been buried, and none of the people who fell into it were able to come up alive, and you were able to survive at that time because of the internal breath that your mother sealed in your body to save your life before her death, and those internal breaths kept your heart, but absorbed the cold of the ice lake, this cold poison has tormented you for more than ten years, but it also keeps you from dying at a young age and dying at the bottom of the lake." But once it is stripped from your body, what it means, you should also know how to choose, Master will not interfere with you!"
If you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price, this is the cycle of cause and effect, and no one can change it.
Lou Yueqing lowered her eyes, sat there, and didn't speak.
The trade-offs are all in her thoughts......
Half a sound, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, Lou Yueqing opened her mouth as if sighing, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Do I still have a choice......
……
When he left Duanmu Xi's residence, it was already evening.
was about to go back to where he lived, but saw Ning Xuan coming from Nanyuan.
Lou Yueqing stopped and waited for Ning Xuan to come over.
Ning Xuan was originally looking for her, and when he saw her, he naturally walked quickly in front of her.
As soon as he walked in front of her, Ning Xuan handed her the note in his hand and said softly, "Chu Jing is here!"
Raising her eyebrows, she took the note, and after a glance, Lou Yueqing frowned.
After a while, he crumpled the note and said, "I see!"
Ning Xuan frowned and looked at Lou Yueqing, thought for a while, and said, "Since he is out of Beijing, I'm afraid he is looking for you, so ......"
Lou Yueqing, "Maybe, but please keep this matter from your master, if she knows, I'm afraid she won't let me go back to Chu State!"
Rong Zhi went out of Beijing at this time, whether he came to find her or not, Duanmu Hanxi couldn't know about her and Rong Zhi, otherwise, according to the master's temperament, I am afraid that he would not let himself return to Chu Jing.
Hearing this, Ning Xuan's face moved slightly, "Are you afraid that your predecessors won't let you be with Rong Zhi......?"
Is there such a fear because you have already decided to be together?
If it wasn't decided to stay together, why worry about Duanmu Hanxi's opposition?
When Lou Yueqing heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and then she turned her head and said lightly, "Master's opposition, I'm not afraid, if I really decide to stay with Rong Zhi for the rest of my life, anyone's opposition is meaningless, but before I make up my mind, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, do you understand?"
She didn't know what would happen to He Rongzhi in the future, so now letting Duanmu Hanxi know was just an extraneous branch, but if she made a decision on something, Master's opposition would actually not be able to stop it.
Ning Xuan lowered his eyes, "I know ......"
Lou Yueqing didn't want to say more, so she said lightly, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first!"
After speaking, he slowly walked to the place where he lived.
The people on Chu Jing's side reported the news of Rong Zhi's departure from Beijing, so if Rong Zhi is not here to deal with government affairs, he is really coming to find himself.
Along the way, he carefully avoided hiding tracks, but he was afraid that he still knew that he was here.
It's night......
The originally quiet City Lord's Mansion suddenly sounded a commotion......
Lou Yueqing fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly there was a commotion, mixed with a voice......
"Someone breaks in, report it to the city lord ......"
"Quick search, there are assassins ......"
“……”
Lou Yueqing was originally dazed, but when she heard this voice, she slowly sat up with a tired face, rubbing her eyes, and sure enough, as soon as the voice started, the door was pushed open by Xuanying......
She's been standing guard outside the door.
Lou Yueqing held her forehead, a little sleepy, and when she saw Xuanying coming in, she was puzzled and asked, "What's going on outside?"
The voice was tired.
Xuan Ying was relieved to see that Lou Yueqing was fine sitting on the bed, and reported, "Qiqi County Lord, the organs of the City Lord's Mansion have been touched, someone has broken in, and now they are being searched outside!"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing's face changed.
Someone broke in?
If she hadn't lived here many times, it would be difficult to guarantee that she wouldn't have died when she touched something, not to mention, if she didn't come in from the main gate or from elsewhere, she would have been trapped by the formation, and no one had ever dared to challenge the various mechanism formations of the City Lord's Mansion so desperately, and someone actually broke in?
Even if her martial arts skills were so high back then, she was not sure that she could break in without a trace, even if she was not injured, she would definitely alarm the people in the house, and the people who broke in tonight didn't know what would happen......
Xuanying was also very puzzled.
The first time she came, the day she arrived, Mo Yan told her for a long time to tell her not to move what things, she wrote down everything, she was sure that if Mo Yan hadn't told her, she would definitely not have noticed.
Unlike Xuanying, who stayed outside the door from time to time and refused to rest, Mo Yan and the others were all resting, and when they heard the movement, they immediately came here, and as soon as they entered the door, they said in a hurry, "Master......"
Lou Yueqing interrupted a few people, "I already know ......"
Seeing Xuanying standing there, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Listening to the never-ending commotion and footsteps outside, and then seeing that the dawn still hadn't broken outside, Lou Yueqing asked, "What time is it now?"
Mo Yan said in a low voice, "The ugly hour has just passed, and it will take more than an hour before dawn!"
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing frowned, she was very sleepy now.
Listening to the movement outside, Lou Yueqing rubbed her eyes and said to Mo Yan, "You go out and see how it's going outside!"
Mo Yan bowed his head and withdrew.
It didn't take long to come in.
Someone broke into the City Lord's Mansion late at night, which naturally alarmed the people in the entire Mansion, and the originally quiet City Lord's Mansion suddenly became in a commotion, but, except for touching a mechanism, even the formation couldn't trap the comers, and all the guards and secret guards poured out, looking all over the entire City Lord's Mansion, and there were no outsiders, but it was naturally not a trivial matter for someone to break in.
When Ning Xuan got the news, he immediately came to Lou Yueqing's side, made sure that Lou Yueqing was fine, and sent more than 20 people to fence Lou Yueqing's house, so that no one could take advantage of it, and the inhabited courtyards in the mansion were surrounded by people.
However, after rummaging through the entire city lord's mansion, he found no one in the city, so he had to send someone to guard it, and look for it again at dawn.
It's been a commotion outside for a long time, and the footsteps of the guards on patrol haven't stopped, especially the building where she lives, the old city lord stays at Duanmu Xi's side at night, Ning Xuan lives in Nanyuan to deal with the affairs of the city, and there is no one else living here except her, so most of the guards are patrolling here, at most, every once in a while, there is a team of guards walking outside.
Lou Yueqing put on a cloak, shrugged her eyelids and glanced at the guards outside the window, yawned, turned her head to look at the two girls who were sober in the room, and pouted, "You all go back and rest!"
I was very worried, after all, except for her a few years ago, no one dared to trespass, the organs and formations in the city lord's mansion were set up by the first two generations of city lords who were good at tricks and formations, it is said that at that time, no one could escape, and over time, no one dared to mess around, she was not afraid of being arrested, she made a fuss, and was cut by the master at the beginning, and tonight there were people who were not afraid to visit the city lord's mansion at night, but this riot has been going on for a while, that is, the organ touched and disturbed the guards, but there was no one, listening to the noise outside, the entire city lord's mansion was in chaos, and Lou Yueqing had nothing to worry about。
I guess the intruder had already run away......
I don't know if I can sleep if it's so noisy......
had already let Fuyun go to Mo Li's side, and sent Huirao to Duanmu Hanxi to watch, and there was only a frosty Xuanying and a worried Mo Yan left in the hall.
Xuan Ying said with a stiff face, "My subordinates slept yesterday, and they are not sleepy!"
The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth twitched.
Mo Yan also said, "I don't worry about the master alone, let's stay here!"
Lou Yueqing rolled her eyes, "If you don't sleep, I'll sleep!" It's so noisy outside, and the two "tigers are eyeing each other" inside, how can she sleep?
As soon as the words came out, the two naturally understood what Lou Yueqing meant.
Lou Yueqing doesn't like to be guarded when she sleeps, especially she feels that someone keeping vigil is a superfluous move, and she also makes the night watchman unable to rest, so all along, she never lets Mo leave them to guard herself when she sleeps, and lets them sleep on their own, Xuanying insisted on keeping vigil when she first came, but she was driven by Lou Yueqing several times, let her rest well, she rested whenever she was free, she couldn't stay inside, it was a big deal to stay at the door......
Lou Yueqing couldn't resist her, so she never took her out during the day for the past two days, saving herself from following her day and night, and I don't know how this girl could survive the sleepiness......
I don't know how Rong Zhi abuses this girl on weekdays, so that she doesn't even have to sleep, and she can sleep for two hours a day.
She has always been very disgusted with such things, so none of her subordinates around her will be like this, and she will have to discuss it with that guy another day, don't toss a few of her subordinates all die young!
"That subordinate is guarding the door!"
The shadow is hard to open.
Mo Yan also bowed his head, someone had broken into the house, where did they dare to rest?
Lou Yueqing naturally knew that it was impossible to drive them to sleep, so she didn't force it, and waved her hand, "Go out, let them be quiet when they are on patrol, don't make noise with me before dawn!"
The two bowed their heads and withdrew.
Lou Yueqing yawned, closed the window, turned around and walked back to her bed, took off her cloak and lay down slowly, planning to sleep again.
Anyway, she can't control these things in the City Lord's Mansion, so she will talk about it tomorrow......
Because she was woken up, Lou Yueqing was very sleepy, and after lying on the bed for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
However......
In a daze, her cheek suddenly seemed to be touched by an unknown object, and then the unknown object was directly attached to her face......
------Off topic------
Hey, hey, hey...... I want to hide Han in the boudoir......
