Chapter 087: The Shu royal family arrives
Jun Yan left, and stood alone in the warm pavilion for a long time without moving.
Zi Wei looked at the door three times, and couldn't help it before she walked in, "Princess, are you okay?"
Coming back to her senses, she turned her head and saw Zi Jing walking in with a cup of tea, she shook her head, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "I'm fine, but you, you were frightened just now, right?"
Zixing's face was still pale, and she pulled the corners of her lips when she heard the words, "It's okay, it's okay, the slave is not afraid." ”
Saying that, he stepped forward and put down the teacup, Zi Wei frowned and said, "These people are inevitably a little too bold, they can come to assassinate the princess in broad daylight, it was really scary just now, if it weren't for His Highness holding the sword and holding that person, the sneak attack would have been successful." ”
Zi Wei said and glanced at Chaoxi, "Princess, Your Highness is really good to you. ”
These words are often said on the lips on weekdays, and the ears that have long been listening to them have been calloused, but listening to them now, these words have some weight, and nothing touches people's hearts more than red and bright blood.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zi Wei sighed again, "The princess's temperament is too cold, and she thinks about what she doesn't like to show on her face, and the princess is also very moved in her heart, right? Now that Her Royal Highness is injured, the princess should care more about Your Highness, hey, what about Your Highness? Didn't that prince who left the country come to find His Highness?"
Chaoxi frowned and glanced at Zixing, but still didn't speak.
Zi Wei looked at Chao Xi and kept shaking her head and sighing, "Why is the princess always unenlightened?"
Zi Jing's little face was about to wrinkle, looking at her day and night, she almost said that she and Shang Jue were just playing, but in the end, she couldn't help it, thinking that Shang Jue had gone to the inner room for a long time, and she turned around and walked to the inner room.
Zixing's eyes lit up, "The princess should care more about His Royal Highness." ”
Chaoxi's footsteps paused, and he went directly into the inner room without paying attention to Zixing, Shang Jue was leaning on the brocade couch next to the bed to read, he was holding a book in his right hand, and there was a cup of tea on the table, he wanted to take the teacup while reading, but when his hand touched the teacup, he frowned lightly, he forgot that his hand was still injured.
Chaoxi walked over quietly, and sent the teacup forward with a calm face.
Shang Jue watched her put down the book, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Finished talking?"
Chaoxi nodded, and Shang Jue picked up the book again and looked at it.
He sat across from him for a while before asking, "Why don't you ask us what we talked about?"
The corners of Shang Jue's lips curled slightly, "Will you say it when you ask?"
Chaoxi turned around and stopped looking at Shang Jue, Shang Jue put down the book with a deep smile, and his eyes suddenly became stern, "Compared to what you talked about with Jun Yan, Gu wants to know what happened to you outside the Hidden Sword Pavilion today?"
Chaoxi frowned, the lines of her side face became more and more cold and hard, she shook her head, "It's nothing, it's probably because the cold is about to attack, and occasionally there will be some slight discomfort." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes again, "If it weren't for my cold, today's mess wouldn't have come out." ”
Chao Xi said, and swept his side eyes at Shang Jue's exposed hand.
Shang Jue curled his lips, "Lone said, you don't have to take this injury to heart. ”
Chaoxi turned his head stiffly, "I didn't take it to heart, Tang Shu said that it would be fine after a month." ”
Shang Jue nodded and stopped talking to her, but couldn't help but chuckle, Chaoxi's brows furrowed even tighter, Shang Jue's warm gaze fell on her side face and did not move away, Chaoxi straightened his back, "This kind of thing happened in Huaiyin Houcheng, Luo Shunhua can't not know, I'm afraid that others will know soon, but anyone who knows about Shu's internal affairs can probably guess what's going on." ”
Shang Jue's smile deepened, "There is loneliness, what are you worried about?"
Chaoxi frowned, his expression was a little stern for a while, Shang Jue smiled, and simply walked to her side, he leaned slightly, raised his hand to hold her chin and let her raise her face, "Lone knows what you are worried about, this world relies on fists to speak, and the internal affairs of Shu are already minor in collapse, which is not unknown to others, now let them see these chaos, maybe there will be some unexpected benefits, the lower the sense of Shu in their eyes, the less obstacles you will have." ”
Chaoxi and Shang Jue looked at each other, and couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.
Shang Jue looked at her expression, his fingertips twisted at the corners of her lips, and his breath stagnated, but his hand let go again, "The sword test conference is getting closer and closer, and the people of Baling should also arrive, the alliance between Shu and Zhao has been broken, and Shu urgently needs an ally, at this time, Lone took you back to Shu, and it is impossible for the King of Shu not to be moved, but what the final situation is, it depends on how he decides." ”
Shang Jue said, suddenly remembered something and walked to the side of the table, he picked up a battle report in his hand and walked to Chaoxi, and said with a smile, "The Zhao State and the Jin State are at war, the spring of Shu is approaching, and it is still cold in the north." ”
Chaoxi's eyebrows jumped, and he took the battle report and looked at it.
This letter was sent by Yu Kun, and it was not very detailed, but looking at the number of dead and wounded on the battle report, he knew that the battle situation was very anxious, Shang Jue looked at the subtle changes on his face, and suddenly asked, "Who do you want to win?"
Raising her eyes to look at the past, there was an unfathomable dark light in Shang Jue's eyes, she put down the letter lightly, very calm, "It's too late for either of them to win, didn't the real big winner already withdraw and watch the fire from the other side?"
Chaoxi's words pleased Shang Jue, and the corners of his lips curled, "It's good that you know." ”
Lowering his eyes day and night, as if he did not see the deep meaning in his eyes.
There was a little silence, and suddenly footsteps sounded outside, Chaoxi and Shang Jue looked towards the door, and heard Zi Jing say outside, "Your Highness, princess, the Hou Ye is here for the assassination of the right talent." ”
Shang Jue's eyes swept away, and he took a brand new silk belt and took it to Chaoxi, "I'm going to meet the guest." ”
Shang Jue's hand was injured and it was a little inconvenient, so he took it and tied it himself, Shang Jue pulled her up and grabbed her with his right hand, Chaoxi had long been used to being like this with Shang Jue, and he was no longer struggling at the moment, seeing that he was about to walk out of the inner room, Shang Jue suddenly leaned over, and the hot air blew in her ear and said, "You should feel more distressed......
I only felt that my ears were numb, and half of my body was a little stiff.
Shang Jue's palm was scrubbed around her waist, and she gritted her teeth, and her brows immediately frowned!
Acting is what she is very good at, as long as she is willing to act.
"Didn't Master Hou go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion?"
Shang Jue strode out, his voice was no longer unusually gentle and noble, and his cold tone showed that he was not in a good mood now.
Luo Shunhua led the people outside, only he sat alone in the main hall, he immediately got up when he heard the voice, and saw Shang Jue's bandaged hand at first glance, Luo Shunhua's eyebrows jumped fiercely, "Your Highness's hand ......"
Shang Jue glanced down at his hand, pursed his lips and said nothing.
On the side, he grabbed Shang Jue's arm, and said in the direction of Luo Shunhua with a slightly anxious expression, "If Hou Ye doesn't come, we also have to ask Hou Ye, how can there be assassins in the Huaiyin Hou Mansion?" His Royal Highness was not damaged on the battlefield of Beiyan, but when he arrived in the mansion, he saw blood, should Hou Ye give an explanation to His Royal Highness?"
Luo Shunhua had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and when he went to the Tibetan Sword Pavilion today, the guests were very interested in seeing the treasures in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, Luo Shunhua could almost foresee that there would be endless business in the future Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, but before the group came out of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, they heard that someone had reported that something had happened in the Snow Courtyard, and Luo Shunhua's heart suddenly sank.
Hurried over, and sure enough, he saw Shang Jue hanging up the lottery, although it was not a major injury, but Shang Jue's status was extraordinary, but anyone who saw blood could not shirk it, not to mention that this was still in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, no matter how he could not escape the blame, Luo Shunhua couldn't laugh anymore, listening to the slightly trembling voice of the morning and evening, his heart was even more drumming, "Your Highness atoned for your sins, this incident happened in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion is really Luo's responsibility, Your Highness can rest assured, Luo will definitely thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to His Highness, His Highness's injury is serious?" Did you hurt the vital point? Luo immediately asked the government doctor to come over!"
Luo Shunhua opened his eyes and said nonsense, obviously seeing that Shang Jue just injured his hand but still had to ask more, Shang Jue saw his thoughts, and gave him a step down by the way, "Hou Ye doesn't have to be busy, it's just a small injury, Gu is just two points disappointed in the guards of the Huaiyin Hou Mansion, Gu Shang can be injured, if others encounter it, I am afraid it will only be more dangerous." ”
Luo Shunhua raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "Your Highness, please rest assured, Luo Mou immediately increased the guards in the mansion, fortunately, His Royal Highness was only slightly injured, otherwise Luo Mou is really to blame, by the way, why did His Highness not go to the Hidden Sword Pavilion today?"
Shang Jue's face did not change, "Halfway through, Lone suddenly lost interest. ”
Luo Shunhua's eyes flashed, "Then do you want Luo to send the booklet of the Hidden Sword Pavilion to His Highness for your Highness?"
Shang Jue held Chaoxi's hand, as if to soothe her worries, and smiled when he heard the words, but without any emotion, "The business that Gu Yao and Hou Ye did had already started, and as for the rest, Gu has no interest for the time being." ”
Luo Shunhua couldn't help but smile when he thought of the batch of Xirong knives earlier, "Yes, yes, Your Highness, rest assured, the workshop has already begun to be made, and what you want will definitely satisfy you." ”
Shang Jue looked at Luo Shunhua fixedly, "Is this matter confidential?"
Luo Shunhua nodded immediately when he heard this, "Of course, only Luo knows about it." ”
Shang Jue nodded, and the expression on his face finally eased by two points, "Since this is the case, it will all be arranged by Hou Ye, and today's matter is waiting for Hou Ye's good news, speaking of which, since entering the mansion, the chaos in the mansion has never been broken, which does not seem to be a good sign." ”
Luo Shunhua was shocked when he heard this, and immediately smiled dryly, "Your Highness, don't worry, Luo Mou will give an explanation, and he will definitely give His Highness an explanation, there are many people in the mansion here, so it is easy to get into chaos, but Luo Mou promises to ......"
Luo Shunhua swore for a while before leaving, Shang Jue looked at the direction of Luo Shunhua's exit and smiled lightly, "In the end, it was also the prince who was personally crowned by the empress back then, but now where is the spirit of the Luo family, Luo Shunhua is not only anxious to do business with Yan Guo, but also eager to collect money for other people, do you know why?"
Chaoxi's brows furrowed, as if he was hesitating.
Shang Jue looked at her face to face and said firmly, "It seems that you know the reason." ”
Hearing this, Chaoxi immediately spoke, "I-"
Before he finished speaking, Shang Jue's fingertips fell on Chaoxi Sakura's lips, and he sighed, "If you don't want to say it, Lone won't force you anyway, but there is only one thing, every word you say in the future can't deceive Lone." ”
As she spoke, she slid lightly on her lips, and the soft touch made Shang Jue's eyes narrow.
"Your Highness, the prince and princess of the country are here!"
Yun Zhe's voice sounded at the right time, and he took a big step back sharply.
She turned her head outward, as if she saw Wei Yuan and Wei Shi through the ribbon, and couldn't help but say, "They came quickly." ”
Shang Jue smiled, "Really, it's not as fast as Jun Yan." ”
Before he could speak, Wei Yuan and Wei Shi had already entered the courtyard, and when they saw Shang Jue's bandaged hands, Wei Yuan was quite calm, and Wei Shi had already exclaimed, "Your Highness, how could you be injured? Who dares to attack you in the mansion?"
Wei Shi was full of surprise, and said quietly beside him, "Their goal is me." ”
Wei Shi was stunned, "So His Highness is ......"
Chaoxi's voice was calm, "Yes, it's to save me." ”
The corners of Wei Shi's lips moved a few times, and she couldn't speak.
Shang Jue smiled and sat down, and then pointed to the other two seats, "Sit down." ”
Wei Shi and Wei Yuan sat down, and Shang Jue asked, "What did you see when you went to the Hidden Sword Pavilion today?"
Wei Shi and Wei Yuan glanced at each other, Wei Yuan smiled and said, "The Luo family really lives up to their reputation, they do have some good things in the Sword Pavilion, by the way, why didn't His Highness come to the Sword Pavilion today......?"
Shang Jue shook his head, "No need, when it comes to swords, the third prince of Wu loves swords very much, you can do whatever you like." Seeing that the two of them were a little confused, Shang Jue frowned, "What's the matter?"
Wei Yuan and Wei Shi were flustered, and Shang Jue's eyes sank here, "After the seventh day of the second month, everyone will disperse, and the remaining less than half a month is your last chance, so you have to have a snack." ”
Wei Yuan and Wei Shi's faces were straight, and they nodded busily, Wei Shi's face was slightly pale, the corners of his lips trembled, and he didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, there were voices outside, Zi Wei walked to the door and said, "Your Highness, princess, the king steward came to invite, saying that the luncheon was ready, please go to dinner with the princess, Ao, and the prince and the princess." ”
Today's Hidden Sword Pavilion and his entourage are naturally not just going to see the sword weapons, the luncheon here is the main topic, Shang Jue didn't say to go or not to go, just looked at the morning and evening, "Do you want to go?"
Suddenly, she felt that everyone's eyes fell on her.
If he said he didn't want to, Shang Jue would definitely not go, but if that was the case, it would be inevitable......
Chaoxi nodded calmly, "Naturally, I want to go." ”
Shang Jue stepped forward and grabbed her, and when she put on her cloak, he said, "Okay, let's go." ”
After speaking, he took her waist and took her out of the door, Wei Yuan and Wei Shi followed behind them, and went silently to the Qiushui Garden in the luncheon land along the way, they had walked this road many times, and when they arrived at the gate of the Qiushui Garden, they found that today's Qiushui Garden was extremely lively, and I don't know what happened, Shang Jue's big eyes swept his eyes.
"Today, a new guest is coming. ”
Hearing the voices of guests waiting outside the door, she knew that it was not only a new guest, but also a distinguished guest.
Because no one else went in, several people also stood at the intersection, and Chaoxi was thinking about who would be in the mansion today, when he suddenly heard an extremely sharp voice shouting, "Mrs. Duan has arrived, the third princess has arrived, the fifth princess has arrived, and the ninth princess has arrived-"
After a slight pause, the shrill voice sounded again!
"The fourth son has arrived, the seventh son has arrived!"
Suddenly, there were so many princesses and princesses and a lady, although they didn't say which country they came from, but Chaoxi still tensed up in an instant, her hand just moved, and was grabbed by Shang Jue violently, Shang Jue took her into his arms, and put the chilling cicada between her fingers back into her sleeve, and her teeth clenched, so that the Shu royal family that she had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived!
