Chapter 057: Old Memories of the Yan Mansion
readx;
Sun Qin's gaze swept over Chaoxi and Shang Jue, and at a certain moment, an extremely sharp light suddenly flashed under her eyes, "I still want to avenge the murder of my son, but Her Royal Highness the princess is indifferent to the revenge of killing her mother?"
"Bang dang", the tea cup in Chaoxi's hand fell in response, the tea soup in the tea cup was poured on the case, and even her skirt was wet, Shang Jue frowned slightly and took out a moon white towel from his sleeve, turned around and grabbed her hand, "Why are you so careless, fortunately it's not hot." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" While talking, he wiped the tea from her hands, and wiped the wet skirt on her knees, and the waiting slave behind the curtain heard the movement and came forward to tidy it up, and served the tea again
During the whole process, Chao Xi didn't move, just watched Shang Jue's ten fingers with distinct bones dangling in front of his eyes, and after wiping the tea, Shang Jue grabbed Chaoxi's hand and didn't let go, Chaoxi stopped struggling this time, and then raised his eyes to look at Sun Qin, "What does Madame mean by this? Madame knows the inside story of the death of the queen mother?"
Sun Qin had been quietly watching Chaoxi's gaffe, and then looked at how meticulous and considerate Shang Jue was to Chaoxi, and then glanced at the hand they were holding under the case before his expression was slightly solemn, "Like the death of the fourth prince, I mostly just guess." β
Chao Xi squinted, and the words were sharp, "Oh? It's just a guess that Madam said this to me, if I believe it and really fight to the death with the Duan family, Madam must be very happy to hear it." β
These words are really sharp, Sun is just guessing, but he is clear to Chaoxi, if Chaoxi really believes it and goes hard, it will become a sword in Sun Qin's hand and become Sun Qin's chess piece, Sun Qin frowned when he heard this, but at the end he shook his head and sighed lightly, "The princess can think of me like this, but the princess asks herself, is there no such guess in the princess's heart?"
After a slight pause, Sun Qin continued, "The princess was still young, but the princess was born with extraordinary talent, and she must have never completely forgotten the things of that year, Princess Zhuang Ji was suddenly ill in the middle of 235 years, and there were countless imperial doctors in the palace, but her illness has not been good, and she has been gentle and can't find out why, and at the end of 235, it suddenly became serious, I had practiced medicine for two years when I was young, and Princess Zhuang Ji didn't look like a disease, but like a ...... Poison. β
Princess Zhuang Ji died on the New Year of 236, although she married to the Shu Kingdom, but the first identity that the world remembered was her princess identity, even Sun Qin still called Princess Zhuang Ji, after she said this, her expression was still calm, "My father also searched for famous doctors back then, if it was really poisonous, how could it not have been found out?"
Sun Qin shook his head, but looked at Shang Jue, "His Royal Highness the Prince should know that there is not no poison in the world that even a peerless famous doctor can't detect, if someone deliberately does it, Princess Zhuang Ji will die in vain." β
Seeing that he didn't move, Sun Qin turned his target to Shang Jue, but Shang Jue didn't move when he heard the words, "There is some truth in what Madame said, this matter will naturally be investigated, thank you Madame for reminding me." β
This is just a reminder, Chaoxi will not make any moves because of her words, Sun Qin saw that Shang Jue's words were so rigorous, and his eyes were a little dim, and he could only bow his head and smile, "That's it, thank Your Highness for meeting the princess today, I will not stop the matter of the fourth prince, as for His Royal Highness and the princess, if you need help from the Sun family, just send someone to say it." β
Shang Jue bent his lips and bowed his head, "Madame's kindness is in our hearts." β
Sun Qin didn't say much, only turned his head to look at the sky outside, "I can only come out for an hour, I can't stay longer now, I originally wanted to meet the princess in the palace, but the princess has never entered the palace, and there are many people in the palace, so I have to do it as a last resort, I will go first, it is very safe here, and the two of you can go or stay at will." β
Chaoxi nodded, Sun Qin stood up and walked behind the curtain, the servant bowed his head and said something to her, the two continued to walk deep into the courtyard, and after a while, they couldn't even hear the footsteps, there were only two people left in this hall, Chaoxi and Shang Jue, this hall was really elegantly arranged, the two were facing the orchid garden outside, the orchid grass in the garden was full of vitality, and the orchid fragrance was even more fragrant and long, Sun Qin left, Chaoxi didn't know what his mentality was, and he didn't react after sitting quietly for a long time, Shang Jue pinched her palm, but seemed to enjoy this moment of tranquility, at a certain moment, Chaoxi suddenly pulled his hand out of his palm and stood up and leftγ
Shang Jue raised his eyebrows, and immediately got up, the two walked to the courtyard, walked straight to the door of the small courtyard, opened the door in the morning and evening, and Yun Zhe was still waiting quietly outside, and got into the carriage without saying a word, Shang Jue then followed, and as soon as he got into the carriage, the rain began to fall in the sky, and Yun Zhe sat on the wheel, but he didn't know where to go.
The carriage was silent, and Shang Jue said, "Go to the south of the city."
γ β
Yun Zhe hesitated for a moment before starting to drive, and Chaoxi was obviously not in the mood to care about where they were going this time, she leaned against the wall of the car, lowered her eyes, and looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, although she was not a lively person on weekdays, but now her whole person looked silent and depressed, and it was more like she was ...... Sulking?
"Just listen to Mrs. Sun's words, and I will check this matter. β
Shang Jue's words settled, but there was still no reaction, he pursed his lips, "I'm not sure if you want to come and see her, but at the moment, if the Sun family is inclined to us, it will be very beneficial to you!"
Chao Xi raised his eyes, his eyes were cold and sharp, "His Royal Highness the Prince not only knows Shu very well, but also has a connection with the Shu family. β
Chaoxi said word by word, although the tone was ordinary, but she didn't look angry or something, Shang Jue was slightly stunned, but then smiled, "Xixi, what are you thinking, I did this to help you." β
Chao Xi squinted, "His Royal Highness the Prince has bothered. β
Shang Jue shook his head and sighed, "This Sun Qin...... Since I knew that you were back, I sent someone to keep an eye on you all day long, there are a lot of eyeliners she planted around your princess's mansion, and the day before yesterday there was a glimpse of the line exposed and was arrested, she learned the news before she openly expressed her attitude, she has no ill will towards you for the time being, just want to know your whereabouts and take the opportunity to say those words to you, the current situation is like this, I agreed to this meeting on my own initiative, before that, I had no contact with her. β
Chaoxi didn't know how the two had a connection before, she had long guessed that Shang Jue's eyeliner was all over the inside and outside of the Shu Palace, but she didn't expect that the lady of the inner palace could also be used by him, and Sun Qin's performance this time was mostly aimed at his face, she couldn't be angry, but she was a little depressed in her heart, Shang Jue's move was indeed beneficial to her, and she had already begun to pay attention to Sun's family, if she had the opportunity, she would also have a meeting with Sun Qin today, but she didn't expect this meeting to be so unexpected, or Shang Jue arranged it single-handedly.
He and Sun Qin have long been in contact, and she didn't know it at all, and she finally learned that she was like an outsider between the three of them, and it was clear that he and she were the ones who formed the alliance...... I don't know if I am in Yu Jie, Shang Jue's self-assertion or something else, but now that she knows the inside story, her state of mind is still a little complicated, and Yu Jie is a little lighter, and she is a little at a loss for a while.
Chaoxi's expression changed slightly, and Shang Jue didn't know what to think of, and showed a funny expression for a while, "I'm not a person with hands and eyes to the sky, there are so many princes of Dayin, don't say that I'm not a real immortal, even if it's true, it's impossible to take care of it everywhere." β
Chaoxi was a little stunned, probably didn't know what to look at, people were dumbfounded for a while, Shang Jue looked even more funny, and couldn't help but raise her hand and brush the messy hair on her shoulder, "Don't be angry, otherwise I will be greatly wronged." β
Wake up suddenly, "Who is angry, how can you ......be wronged?"
Shang Jue couldn't help but shake his head again when he heard this, "Okay, okay, you are not angry, and I have never been wronged." β
As he spoke, he brushed the cloak on her body again, lifted the curtain and glanced out, "It's still early, let's go around elsewhere, and it's not a good feeling to travel in the rain, how many days have you come back, have you ever gone out of the house to play?"
Chaoxi couldn't help frowning again, "What's the feeling, it's better to go home early." β
The corners of Shang Jue's lips curled slightly, "Then do you want to go back by yourself?"
Hearing this, Chaoxi stood up and shouted softly, "Stop!"
Under an order, Yun Zhe couldn't help but slow down the car, it was drizzling outside, and Chaoxi couldn't stand Shang Jue's seemingly agitated words and really wanted to go home, he grabbed Chaoxi's wrist with a smile, "I'm joking, how can you really believe it." β
He turned his head again, "You don't have to stop, just keep walking."
οΌβ
The speed of the car became faster again, day and night half bent over and stood in the car and refused to move, stalemate for a long time, Shang Jue shook his head helplessly, just didn't know what to do, but the carriage suddenly jerked, day and night stood in the car The center of gravity was unstable, Shang Jue saw the situation is a pull, morning and night light "ah" sound, the next moment the person has arrived in Shang Jue's arms, before he reacted, he heard Shang Jue's low smile.
The intuition of the day and night was extremely embarrassing, and he didn't like to see Shang Jue have the upper hand, and he was about to struggle, but he was held down by Shang Jue, he still said with a smile, "Aren't you curious where I took you that night?"
Even if she was stunned for a moment, Shang Jue was right, she didn't know where Shang Jue took her during her ignorant night, and she didn't believe what Shang Jue said about the divine doctor's treatment, with Tang Shu, how could he take her to find another divine doctor?!
Shang Jue's arms tightened, as if he was greedy, he hugged her tightly, Chaoxi thought he was still going to cheat, but the next moment Shang Jue really let her go, Chaoxi took a shallow breath, got up and sat on the side seat.
The carriage twisted around the streets and alleys of Baling, and it took a long time to reach the south of the city, Shang Jue only said the word "south of the city", but Yun Zhe knew that he was talking about the small courtyard that night he had been to, the more the carriage went around, the more noisy and chaotic it became, listening to all kinds of voices in the morning and evening, he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out, most of the people in the south of the city are places where untouchables live, the market is not as neat and clean as elsewhere, and some places are still a mess of chickens and dogs, and the morning and evening look in his eyes, but there is no disgust on his face.
"You must have never been here, even the rich and noble families who have lived in Baling for a long time must not know that Baling has such a place, this place is noisy, but it can make the superior see the epitome of the Shu people outside Baling. β
Baling is the capital of the king of Shu, in addition to this piece of mixed residence elsewhere there is a prosperous capital of the king, the rich people are drunk all day long, many people can't even see the ruins in the south of the city, not to mention the Shu people outside Baling, the nobles are fascinated by the illusion, the superior sits in Baling to enjoy himself, but he doesn't know that the crisis of the building will fall has already been secretly born.
Chaoxi's demeanor suddenly changed from bleak to calm, she looked quietly for a long time, and suddenly said calmly, "I heard that Yandu is as prosperous as Baling, is there such a place?"
Shang Jue's eyes were long, "Naturally, there is." β
Chaoxi couldn't help frowning, she was reprimanded out of Baling when she was young, and Shang Jue was also exiled from the court at a young age, he and she are not people who are in the midst of glory and wealth and do not know the suffering of the world, she has been to Huaiyin, to Zhao State, and was trapped in Liangshan, if you talk about the suffering in the world, she has seen so much, she herself has been miserable.
"But it's a little different from Shu. β
Raising eyebrows day and night, looking at him, "How can it be different?"
Shang Jue smiled deeply, "If you want to know, don't you know if you go to Yandu to see it yourself?"
Yandu ...... Yan Kingdom is in the extreme north of Dayin, Yan Capital is even more in the north of Yan Kingdom, separated from Shu by thousands of mountains and rivers, before this, when did you think about going to Yan Capital, it was at this moment, she also felt that Yan Capital was so far away, how many people had never been out of Shu in their lives, and she ...... Turning his gaze day and night, "There is a difference between rich and poor, even if you think about it, it is not much different." β
Shang Jue's eyes were slightly dark, but his smile remained unchanged, and he nodded and said no more.
Chaoxi's mind moved slightly, and she thought of what Sun Qinshi said in Nalan Ting, and after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Back then...... How did you leave the Yan Kingdom's court?"
Shang Jue raised his eyebrows, naturally knowing that Chaoxi's curiosity was aroused by Sun Qin's words.
He groaned slightly, "Just as Sun Qin said."
γ β
Chaoxi didn't expect him to answer so neatly, and he didn't expect that he was really killed by his mother-in-law back then...... Shang Jue's life experience is varied, it is said that his biological mother was just an ordinary concubine of King Yan back then, and he didn't even have the position of a beauty, and Shang Jue was in the palace at what age, and how was it found three years ago, these huge Yan countries can't find any kind of exact statement, it is really weird.
Shang Jue's life experience is not very important, and Chaoxi is a person who is not very interested in other people's private problems, at this moment a question is already the limit, she will definitely not break the casserole to ask to the end, so she stopped the topic in time, she is in Shu Kingdom, and she didn't think about going to Yan Kingdom, so what does the dispute in the internal palace of Yan Kingdom have to do with her?
It's just that he was persecuted by his mother-in-law, and it is rumored that he had a bad relationship with King Yan's father and son, in this case, how was he found and enshrined as the prince? Chaoxi was puzzled, and only had more doubts about Shang Jue's secret power.
She didn't ask anymore, Shang Jue didn't say any more, just at this time the carriage traveled to an alley, different from the previous places, this place is really quiet in comparison, the surrounding houses are also much neater, and the curtain is lifted day and night to look out, when I first saw a school-like place, the school is simple only a ruin low wall, because it rained most of the children in it ran out again, as if the narrow house could not accommodate a few people, frowning day and night, the untouched people are not allowed to enter the school, this kind of schoolhouse that looks very simple is also easy to be seized by the servants, probably because this place is too remote so far no one has paid attention to this placeγ
The eyes of the morning and evening are getting darker, the eyes are flickering, and I can't help but see a blue tile and white wall in a house, the lintel of the house is not tall and wide, but it looks very elegant and pure from the outside, and what is more refreshing is the verdant bamboo forest that emerges behind the high wall, a large area of lush green and lush in the hazy rain curtain, and the old distance gives people a sense of cool and quiet, the eyes of the morning and evening have been falling on the bamboo forest and have not moved away, and when the carriage stopped before the lintel, she couldn't help but light up in her eyes.
"This is it, get out of the car, get in and sit. β
Because I like the bamboo forest, I got up very neatly in the morning and evening, Shang Jue saw her get up and put her hood on, so she got off the carriage first, followed down in the morning and evening, and saw the word "Yan Mansion" when she looked up, you must know that they are in the south of the city, most of the houses here are low and narrow, and the untouchables do not have the word "house", but this courtyard can have such an eye-catching lintel, its owner must not be an ordinary untouchable, and this courtyard is also quiet and elegant, compared to the houses in the rich and noble land, it is not much worse......
Chaoxi was puzzled for a while, but Shang Jue took her hand, "It's raining, go in quickly." β
Yun Zhe stepped forward to open the door, Chaoxi only felt a breeze with bamboo fragrance coming, so that her whole person woke up, facing the door is a shadow wall, there is no calligraphy and painting on it, only some simple ancient seal patterns, I can't see what the words are, but it gives people a sense of simplicity, the rain is as thin as cow hair, but it is not too big, Shang Jue is worried that the day and night will be cold, or pull him towards the house, Yun Zhe stopped the carriage behind and also entered the door, far behind.
Bypassing the shadow wall, it is the bamboo forest that makes the morning and evening fascinated outside, it looks pleasant from afar, and it is more refreshing and secluded from a distance, the bamboo forest here is luxuriant and extraordinary, even the rain is blocked, the path is full of bamboo leaves on the ground, stepping on it makes a light sound, walking day and night, the heart also calms down, "Who is the owner here?"
The corners of Shang Jue's lips curved slightly, and he muttered for a moment before saying, "It's an old friend." β
Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, "Do you still have old friends in Shu?"
Shang Jue shook his head, "He is a Jianghu man, he bought this place, but he hasn't lived in it yet, I'm here, this place is mine, it's quiet and quiet, I think you must like it here." β
"You brought me here that night?"
Shang Jue pursed his lips, nodded, and said with a smile again, "The divine doctor is gone?"
Before Shang Jue could speak, he said again, "No, your old friend surnamed Yan is the miracle doctor."
γ β
Shang Jue smiled, "Naturally not, my old friend has long been missing." β
Chaoxi looked at Shang Jue, still didn't believe what he said that night, but who could force him to say what Shang Jue didn't want to say, glanced at the hand held by Shang Jue, Chaoxi still pursed her lips and broke free, she walked in front of herself, and soon found that this courtyard was pleasing to the eye at all This bamboo forest, although it was in a remote place, but the furnishings in this courtyard could be seen at the beginning of ingenuity, and its owner knew that he was not an ordinary person when he thought about it, and stood still day and night, "Your old friend must be a capable person." β
Standing in the middle of the bamboo forest path, Shang Jue followed, "Oh?
Not only that, the breeze that can be felt outside the bamboo forest seems to have disappeared out of thin air, the more you go to the depths of the bamboo forest, the more you can't even feel the sound of the wind, but the bamboo leaves are not windy, as if it is not the wind that controls them, but some other strange force.
"The mechanism formation here is very powerful. β
After a moment of silence before speaking, Shang Jue suddenly smiled when he heard this, "Can you break it?"
A glimmer of light flashed under her eyes, she squinted, and her left hand in the wide sleeves of the red dress suddenly raised, only to see her fingertips flashing slightly, a few steps away from a low bamboo branch suddenly broken, the broken bamboo branch shook and fell, the moment it touched the ground, the calm bamboo forest suddenly blew fiercely, the wind rolled up the dead leaves on the ground into a huge curtain, and suddenly isolated Chaoxi and Shang Jue, the next moment the curtain snake-like attack on her, five steps away from her The curtain suddenly dispersed, and each bamboo leaf turned into a dagger towards her door quickly, Chaoxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he retreated rapidlyββ
The wind, the bamboo leaves like flying knives, the small bamboo forest that was quiet a moment ago was boundless and unbounded, and there was only one step away from Shang Jue, but when the formation occurred, she couldn't see where Shang Jue was, this was not a simple formation, even Yun Zhe didn't dare to try it easily, but the seventeen-year-old Chaoxi was heavy and calm in the formation, not like ordinary people.
When the last curtain rose on the ground, Chaoxi finally bent the corners of his lips, the cold light flashed at his fingertips, and the cold cicada shot out of his hand like an arrow from the string, shooting straight towards the curtain in front, and the dense bamboo leaves piled up, but the cold cicada split that leaf seemed to be different, and in an instant, the curtain of the killing waves collapsed instantly, and he jumped up in the morning and evening, caught it before the cicada landed, flicked his sleeves and turned around, and the dead leaves fell behind her, and returned to calm with her fluttering skirt.
Shang Jue was still standing in place, not moving a single step, he was very nervous about Chaoxi, but this time he was relieved to let Chaoxi enter the formation, and he was not the slightest surprise when he saw her break out of the formation unharmed.
"Your friend's formation isn't strong enough. β
Chaoxi said this calmly, without the slightest intention of showing off, Shang Jue laughed and walked slowly towards her, "Okay, I will tell him your words word for word." Walking to stand still in front of the morning and night, Shang Jue smiled again, "The ink pavilion really lives up to its reputation, although you don't have a deep cultivation on you, but there are very few people who can break this formation so quickly." β
Chaoxi put her hands in her sleeves, turned around and walked towards the exit of this bamboo forest, the more she walked out, the wind hit, and then she took a few steps to look back towards the center of the bamboo forest, sure enough, the calmer the more dangerous it was......
Thinking about it, the footsteps that had just walked out of the bamboo forest stopped at dawn and night.
Shang Jue came up and frowned slightly when he saw her like this, "What's wrong?"
Chaoxi pursed his lips, "I just think this formation is a little familiar......"
Shang Jue raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?"
Chaoxi turned to look at him, "There is something in common with the formation I have practiced
γ β
Shang Jue just smiled, "The Qimen formation has a lot of things to figure out, and it's not a big deal, but it's a pity that he doesn't know where to go now, otherwise I can ask him how he learned this formation." β
Chaoxi just suddenly remembered, and didn't want to pursue so much, so he shook his head and walked towards the hall not far away, and took two steps, and saw an old servant standing in front of the hall, and when he saw someone coming, the old servant hurriedly knelt down and saluted the two, and his expression was extremely respectful, and he couldn't help but stop, "Get up, don't be polite." β
The voice settled, but the man did not respond, Shang Jue walked up, "He is a deaf and dumb person." β
Chaoxi frowned, the old servant had raised his head, Shang Jue didn't say anything, only nodded to it, the old servant got up with a smile, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, the table in the hall was prepared, I thought I knew that he was coming.
Since they are all here, the morning and evening took the initiative to walk in, a sense of inexplicable familiarity will come to the face, the hall is extremely simple, but every small object is very exquisite, and are the favorite color styles of the morning and evening, the same look at the past, suddenly on the wall to see an extremely complex windmill, the windmill is exquisitely made, there are five wheels, the wind comes, there are five wind wheels together, and the five colors of the wind wheel are different, together it is good-looking.
The breathing of the morning and night suddenly stopped, no, not right at all.
Since he was born, he really had his own preferences before the age of four, and then he lived under the Huaiyin fence, and it was good not to be deducted from eating and wearing on weekdays, where could he still let himself be picky, and later came to Zhao State, even if the world knew that Zhao Yi loved him in every way, but Zhao Wanggong was walking on thin ice, and she did not dare to show her preferences, as for Liangshan, she was a blind man who was sent to the cold palace to atone for her sins, and she was more like a puppet doll without consciousness, so she was sure that no one in this world knew her preferences on weekdays, as small as the style and color of the tea cup she liked, and as large as the orientation of the pavilion, she did not regard these things as very important, but when everything was in accordance with her original intention, the room made her feel so comfortable and kind.
At the moment, she was shocked by this long-lost kindness, and then a chill ran down her spine.
If the color of the tea cup is a coincidence, why is the texture of the table so much that she likes, if it is also a coincidence, then the plum bottle on the low couch on the incense burner on the bookcase on the pine smoke ink screen on the picture of the lady, each of them actually has the taste of her childhood dormitory, as for the windmill, there is absolutely no place in the outside market, the person who can make such a complicated windmill must be a skillful person, and such a windmill, day and night in the childhood had one.
"Go in and sit, beware of catching a cold. Shang Jue gently pushed Chaoxi into the door, and untied her cloak from behind, and when she turned around, she saw that her hair was steamy, so she came up to wipe it again, and saw that she looked a little stunned and couldn't help but be a little funny, "What's wrong? This place is a little simple, but it is quiet, we have dinner here, and we will go back when the rain stops." β
Shang Jue wiped the moisture off her hair very carefully, but unexpectedly, she took a step back after wiping it halfway through, and then looked at him and said, "Is this really your old friend's?
Shang Jue stopped his movements and nodded, "Yes, this is his, but he is not from Shu, he is from Yan." β
Chaoxi couldn't help but clench his fists, "The layout here ......"
Shang Jue nodded, "There wasn't such a good place before, I asked someone to take care of it." β
Chaoxi frowned and looked at Shang Jue, Shang Jue was inexplicably looked at by her gaze, "What's wrong?"
Shang Jue's expression was too natural, and she didn't see anything wrong with it, and then looked at this hall, except for the windmill, it seemed that everything could also be bought in the market outside, but it just happened to match it to the appearance she liked
Chaoxi frowned, could it be that she was thinking too much?
She looked at the windmill, "The windmill ......."
Shang Jue also looked over, "Oh, I saw it by chance and asked someone to buy it back." β
Chaoxi frowned, looking at Shang Jue's eyes full of suspicion, Shang Jue took the towel, looked at her lightly, Chaoxi saw him like this, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and walked deeper inside, the more he walked inward, the more intimate the feeling became, and he looked at every layout in the room, and then looked at Shang Jue's calm expression, and suppressed his doubts.
It's impossible, Shang Jue can't know her so well, since he doesn't say it, it should be regarded as a coincidence......
"This place is very similar to the dormitory I had when I was a child. β
Chaoxi said while looking at Shang Jue's expression, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh?"
Chaoxi said, "At that time, every place in the palace was placed for me by the queen mother herself. β
When it comes to Princess Zhuang Ji, Chaoxi's words can't help but be a little heavy, Sun Qin's words have been lingering in her mind, although she is calm and calm in front of Sun Qin, but in front of Shang Jue, she obviously reveals more.
As soon as he turned around, he sat down in front of the Xi case, a small red clay stove was placed on the case, and the tea soup on it was just boiling, Shang Jue came over and sat down opposite her, and then picked up the teapot to add tea to the two, he was high and incomparable, but when he did this in front of her, he was at his fingertips, and whenever she saw these things that did not conform to his identity, she would always think about what he had experienced outside the court in those years, but now was not the time for her to ask, nothing heavier than the cause of death of Princess Zhuang Ji.
After the two teas were poured, the expression of the day and night was still calm and tight, and she had already suppressed the matter on the way, but when she arrived here, the memories of her childhood were all vivid, and the dusty past and the suspicions that had lingered in her heart for so many years could no longer be suppressed, she raised her hand to hold the tea cup that Shang Jue put in front of her, and she was about to hold it, but her hand was grabbed by Shang Jue!
"Beware of ......"
Raising her eyes day and night, Shang Jue looked at her with some concern.
She came back to her senses and withdrew her hand......
Shang Jue also sat up straight and looked at her for a long time before speaking, "You are thinking about Princess Zhuang Ji." β
Chaoxi did not refute, Shang Jue continued to speak calmly, "If it is really as Mrs. Sun said, but if it is poisoned, there will definitely be traces left, whether it is a person or an object, it is impossible to leave no trace at all." β
Raising his head at the beginning, "I was still young back then, I didn't notice many things, and now I remember it vaguely, if it was really the Duan family's doing, they would have erased all traces of it for so many years." β
Silent, he raised his eyes to look at the rain curtain outside the roller blinds, "I also sent people to investigate in many ways, but the results were disappointing, when the queen mother died, the people around her were also cut out one by one, after my brother and I went to Huaiyin, the slaves around us were also harmed, and the best opportunity was lost, and now the chance to find evidence is really slim." β
Shang Jue shook his head, "That's not the case. β
Raising his eyes to look at him day and night, Shang Jue continued, "There are no absolutes in the world, although the chance is slim, it is not hopeless, the current situation is unclear, we can secretly investigate, once there is evidence, we can not let the princess die in vain." β
Looking at each other, Shang Jue's eyes were dark but firm, and there was a gratuitous gentle infiltration, the mood of the day and night was actually dispelled, and he felt a little cold when he shook his body for a while, Shang Jue saw her smile like this, and pushed the tea cup forward by half a minute, "It's not hot now, it will warm up when you taste it, it's different from what you drank just now, this is the tea of Yan Kingdom."
γ β
Tea in Yan Country? There is tea in a cold place like Yan Country?
Chaoxi lowered her head with two doubts and tasted it lightly, and her brows were furrowed as soon as the tea soup was entered, so bitter!
Shang Jue always looked at Chaoxi with a smile, under his gaze, Chaoxi really couldn't bear to spit out the tea soup on the tip of his tongue, hesitated slightly, and had to swallow it slowly, but at the moment of swallowing, the bitter taste of the tea soup all turned into sweetness, and warmed all the way to the stomach, Chaoxi straightened up, couldn't help but take another sip, this mouthful, the tea soup no longer has the bitter taste of Shicai, the sweeter the aftertaste, the warmer the body, and Chaoxi couldn't help but like this bitter Yan tea......
"This tea is called Sansheng, and it was only delivered from Yan Country yesterday. β
Shang Jue said as he put the teapot on the stove again, "Most people in the southern country are not used to drinking. β
Listening to it day and night, I only thought the name was very interesting, "Why is it called Sansheng?"
Shang Jue curled his lips, "The climate of Yan Country is very cold, originally there was no tea, this Sansheng tea grows in a place near the hot spring in the Suzaku Mountains, that place is sometimes cold and sometimes warm, and somehow it grows Sansheng tea trees, ordinary southern tea can be harvested once or twice a year, but these Sansheng tea takes three years to grow once, so it is called Sansheng." β
Shang Jue's movements are skillful, he seems to often make tea, looking at his flowing movements day and night, he can't help but think of the bowl of fresh fish soup between the mountains and fields of the Jin Kingdom, he can make tea, make soup, write and dance swords, and most importantly, these hands are in charge of the Yan Kingdom can make the great Yin wind and clouds change, what else can he not, and what kind of past does he have......
"Sansheng tea and snake fruit are almost the same, although it is tea, but it is more like medicine, because it is the terrain of the growing place is dangerous and it matures once every three years, so the annual collection is very small, this year I let them all send here. β
All of them were sent here? The hand holding the tea cup was slightly stunned, what are you doing here......
Thinking so in her heart, she didn't really ask, she took another sip of tea, and looked at this hall again, and only felt very strange, five months ago, did she ever think that one day she would sit face to face with Shang Jue and drink tea?
It may not have been obvious earlier, but since he arrived in Baling, what he has done is almost all for her, and he is not an emotionless person, but every time she thinks of this, she only feels puzzled and uneasy, she looks down at the tea cup in her hand, the tea soup clearly reflects her appearance, black hair and red dress, her appearance is peerless, the world hates her and praises her, but only she knows what kind of ruthlessness is hidden under this beautiful skin, so she held the tea cup and asked lightly, " The death of the fourth prince must be suppressed, Sun Qin must not move, today I rejected her, with the current status of the Duan family, she is really powerless. β
The topic turned back to business, and his tone was calm, and Shang Jue also stopped what he was doing, "The Duan family is powerful, but it has been suspected and feared by the King of Shu, and Duan Jinyi also overestimated the Duan family when he sat on the back seat, the Yu family and the Yang family in the inner palace, the Sun family and the Lin family in the outer court, and many other wealthy families, either relying on the Duan family, or trying to watch the Duan family fall without moving, the Duan family looks bright, but once an incident occurs, their position is extremely dangerous." β
Chaoxi put down the teacup, "Hearing you say this, I think of a folk proverb that has been circulated in Shu. β
Shang Jue couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her when he heard this, his eyes were facing each other, and the two spoke almost at the same time.
"The tree that is bound by the entanglement is either dead or dying. β
