Chapter 125: Goodbye
The concubine invited the opera troupe in the Chongxi Hall today, and the singer sang on the temporary stage, Su Chi watched with interest, and hummed a few words in a low voice from time to time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info recent days, the concubine often invited her into the palace, the strange thing is that in the past, the aunt often asked her to behave moderately, talk etiquette, and now it seems that the more casual she is, the more happy the aunt is.
While watching the play, the concubine quietly looked at Su Chi's expression from time to time, she didn't like women's female workers, and she was also mediocre in collecting landscapes, so she only liked to watch plays. Su Jiang shook the fan in the palace, "Are you still satisfied with this play?"
Su Chi's eyes were still staring at the stage, but he nodded subconsciously: "Why are you not satisfied? I have searched the entire Jinling, and I have never seen such a fresh and moving play." Although I've read this book a long time ago, this kind of body and voice seems like a natural play. "Su Chi is not scolding, Jinling's drama is good at Yue opera, and every sentence is tactful.
Today's concubine originally ordered "Tanuki for the Prince", but later Su Chi didn't know, so she ordered "Drunk Golden Branch" and other shows as soon as she came, and now she sings "Peacock Flying Southeast". It's an old-fashioned plot, but because of the actors' concentration, they sing a new feeling.
The concubine listened to Su Chi's words, and really smiled, and Aunt Xingbai on the side said: "It's rare for a girl to like it, this opera troupe was invited from Jinling by the concubine at a great price." ”
Su Chi was taken aback, no wonder she felt that these people were dressed up pretty, and their tones were tactful, it turned out to be from Nanqi, "Aunt is really bothered, Daddy always says that Ah Chi is arrogant and extravagant, which shows that this is due to family style." ”
The concubine handed the fan to Xingbai, "When the eldest brother was young, he was really ······ That's it, this troupe will be given to you, and it will save you from being bored by your father being locked up at home all day. Don't go to those places for the time being, wait for Achen to come back, and let him accompany you. ”
Su Chi knew that her aunt was talking about the Taoqiu Opera Society, and she no longer blatantly passed these days, but often took a detour to the past, and it seemed that the concubine was watching very closely. However, Su Chi was happy to get such a troupe for no reason, and Xingbai stood up here: "Niangniang, Gonggong Qi said that His Majesty is in the south study, and he will come over later." ”
The concubine looked at Su Chi, and only after a while did she respond: "I know, let's step down!"
When everyone retreated, leaving only Su Chi and the concubine, Su Jiang pulled her with one hand and touched her hair with the other, "Ah Chi, your father said that you have always been in contact with the prince, is this true?"
Su Chi has been in contact with both the prince and Su Zen, and has always been, but nodded silently.
Su Jiang raised her eyebrows, and asked softly: "Ah Chi, the Knowles will definitely stuff Lou Jinyue to the East Palace, and they will definitely not allow you to be the crown princess, do you understand?"
Su Chi was a little confused, had he been too confused for so many years, so that he personally felt that he had no regrets about His Royal Highness the Prince. Su Chi frowned and replied to Su Jiang, "Naturally, I know." ”
Su Jiang's brows furrowed even more, "Even so, you still have to marry him?"
Su Chi was a little depressed at this moment, and resolutely denied: "Naturally not." ”
Su Jiang was skeptical: "Isn't it?"
Su Chi put away his smile and said solemnly: "Brother Crown Prince has taken great care of me since he was a child, whether it is in the martial arts hall or in the palace, Ah Chi returns him as a brother's gift. Even if the relationship is better than others, it is just a love that I grew up with, and I will never dare to go beyond it. ”
Su Chi said this cleverly, in fact, where is the relationship between her and Ning Lizhen better?
Over the years, because of the tacit understanding between the royal family and the Su family and the custom of marriage between the two families for generations, everyone regards Su Chi as a future concubine, and the two are even more in and out together, very close.
Su Jiang looked at her and didn't seem to be fake, if Su Chi really thought so, it would be a blessing for the Su family, but Su Chi has been able to hide her thoughts since she was a child, and now His Majesty is coming, she privately wants Su Chi to avoid it, and she doesn't have time to ask for verification, so she has to put it aside for the time being: "Ah Chi, Lu Shuyi just lost her child, you take the things prepared by Xingbai, and go to see her for the palace." Su Jiang always uses various ways to keep Su Chi, and this child is at ease by her side for no reason.
Su Chi was puzzled, and he didn't understand why he sent himself to deliver something, so he only responded.
Lu Shuyi lives in Qingyuan, she does not live in the main hall of the first palace, and when His Majesty entrusted the little prince to him, the Lu family was overjoyed. In the harem, the mother is more expensive than the son, so she cleaned the main hall and packed up the prince's things and put them in, even the queen didn't say anything.
Su Chi walked towards Qingyuan, she was very familiar with the harem as if she were visiting her own back garden, but she didn't expect to meet an unexpected person in the harem.
Su Chi saw that the person's back was very familiar from a distance, dressed in a dark blue cloth shirt, capable and simple, and when Yan Zhi turned around, Su Chi didn't have time to leave.
Yan Zhizhi was very excited to meet Su Chi here, "Girl, Miss Su, don't go! I'm Yan Zhizhi, hey, don't go, don't go······"
Su Chi had no choice but to stretch back his half-step foot and squeeze a smile: "I know, it turned out to be you." "I muttered in my heart, the backyard of the palace, so loud and noisy, even if you are the young master of the East Palace, you have to be leisurely!
Su Chi couldn't hide, but he heard a more familiar and hoarse voice: "Ah Chi, long time no see!" Chongyao didn't know when he had already crossed Yan Zhi and stood straight in front of Su Chi.
Su Chi's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't set his eyes on Chongyao, and said casually: "I don't see." She repeated his last two words at random, but the more she listened to them, the more false they felt.
Su Chi already wanted to say goodbye, but Chongyao didn't care about it at all, and stepped forward, and could smell the fragrance on her head, Su Chi felt uncomfortable. Regardless of the apricot white gaze behind him, he directly had a plan to escape.
Chongyao looked at her closely, "I heard that you were sick, and I wanted to go and see you, but the threshold of the Su family is a little high." After Su Chi fell ill, Chongyao handed over the post in the name of Yan Zhizhi, but the font, the dark lines of the post, Su Chi was clear, and naturally did not let Wei Ming let him go. What's more, Chongyao's injury has also been lying for a few months, so Chongyao really hasn't seen her.
If Su Chi didn't see him, when he saw Chongyao today, he remembered what happened that day in the village of Daoge, he turned his back on his words and left himself in a grand manner. Su Chi laughed at himself and thought about it, saying that the two of them were allies, but in fact, it was just conjecture.
Su Chi didn't like people to have a whisper about Su's family, but Chongyao made a taboo as soon as he opened his mouth, so Su Chi lowered his eyes: "Su's family is a small temple, and naturally it can't accommodate the big Buddha of His Royal Highness." ”
After saying this, Su Chi knew that she couldn't solve it in a few words today, so she turned around and ordered Xingbai: "Aunt Xingbai, send things in." ”
Xingbai glanced at Su Chi disapprovingly, and then her eyes lingered slightly between Chongyao and Su Chi, still with a little distrust. When he left, he gave Wei Ming a look, and Wei Ming stepped forward and looked at Chongyao like a thief.
Chongyao didn't know that Weiming's head was missing tendons, he only thought that the personal guards around Su Chi must have conveyed the master's attitude to a certain extent. Chongyao heard that she had come to the harem early in the morning, so he let people watch at the door of the out, but he didn't expect to block her here, but he saw that she looked indifferent, didn't know each other, and was unspeakably stunned. It was as if a boulder was pressed against his chest, and like a fish spine in his throat, and for a moment he only felt that his words were very pale and weak.
She still can't tolerate disrespect for her family, how can she tolerate herself saying "Su Yuan is a traitor, wolf ambition?" Not to mention that she doesn't have any evidence in her hand?
If she asked him why he said this, did he have to tell her: it was he and Lan Qi who joined forces to make use of her, and only then did he find out that Dao Gezhai was just a trick for the Su family to train private soldiers. The so-called Daoge Village,It's not a green forest Haojie,It's not a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes,It's Su Yuan's tricks there,Using the cliff as a barrier actually made a small martial arts arena under the nose of the imperial court。
Chongyao had gone through this scene countless times in his heart, and he still felt aggrieved in the face of Su Chi at this moment, so he had to tolerate Su Chi's rare bad temper: "I came today to visit the concubine?"
When it came to the concubine, Chongyao couldn't wait to bite off his teeth, only to hear Su Chi's attitude even colder: "Otherwise?"
"Since I'm here to visit the concubine, why did you come here again?" Lu Shuyi is a remote place, and she needs a cup of tea to sit in a sedan chair from the Chongxi Hall of the concubine, let alone walk.
Su Chi remembered the cause of the child's death, at this time, there was no one here, and even Yan Zhi didn't know where he went, only Su Chi, Chongyao and Weiming, who had no city government. In Su Chi's heart, Wei Ming can only be regarded as half a person.
Su Chi lowered his voice, "Since there is no one here, it is better to be frank and open, who is the person who ambushed on the mountain of Ridaige?"
Chongyao didn't know how much Su Chi knew, but it would be much easier if Su Chi found out about it himself, and if Su Chi was willing to talk about it, things would take a turn for the better, Chongyao hurriedly asked, "What do you say?"
Su Chi was a little surprised by Chongyao's surprise, and she looked at Chongyao in slight surprise: "Whether you recognize it or not, you left a mark all the way along the road in Daoge Mountain that day, yes or no?"
"Yes. ”
"The other party obviously has a lot of personnel, but he doesn't want to hurt us, and would rather capture us alive, yes or no?"
"Yes. ”
"That day, the other party's martial arts were strong, but he couldn't show it to us, and he kept his hands everywhere, and he seemed to have a lot of scruples, yes or no?"
"Yes. ”
"Even if I don't stop that day, you won't fight them to the end, yes or no?"
"Yes. ”
With so many questions solved, Su Chi stepped forward and asked directly, "Is there someone who has you in that village?" Su Chi did not forget that when he was imprisoned in the mountains that night, Chongyao was clearly answered.
Chongyao listened to himself being sentenced to death by Chongyao step by step, and was very depressed, wanting to explain but felt that there was nothing wrong with every sentence, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "Yes." ”
Her conjecture was confirmed by the person concerned, and So-chi was not happy at all, she thought about many other conjectures, but they were all rejected by herself. But how much I hope at this moment, all this is fake.
But Chongyao admitted it in person, and Su Chi couldn't even find an excuse to explain it to him.
Su Chi's eyes closed, and he said helplessly: "In that case, what are you still talking about so much?" ”
Chongyao didn't let him, "You forgot, that day at the Taoqiu Opera Society, you promised that from now on we will be allies and stand on the same front." ”
Su Chi sneered: "The so-called allies are born for profit, and naturally they are also destroyed for profit, and now there is only the Chu River in the Han realm between you and me." It is better to divide it clearly so as not to be embarrassed in the future. ”
"Since the king has agreed at the beginning, you can't tell you that this matter is over, you remember. ”
Su Chi has rarely been talked to like this since she was a child, so she is even more unhappy: "Otherwise, what else can Your Highness do?"
Su Chi's temper came up, and Chongyao felt a little playful and funny: "Ah Chi, isn't it that the illness is not cured yet?" Although it is a cool autumn, you have to find a doctor to control the anger, such a big temper hurts the liver and the spleen and stomach. ”
Although Chongyao's illness has been cured, he coughs from time to time because of the injury to his lungs, and it is said that he has tuberculosis with an incurable disease. Su Chi knew that this person had always pretended to be sick, so he didn't believe the rumors outside, and at this moment, standing in front of Chongyao, hearing his hoarse voice, coughing one after another, Su Chi couldn't help but sigh.
Forget it, healer, say something nice!
Su Chi thought about it and untied the sachet on his waist, handed it to Chongyao, and turned around to leave.
But he didn't want to be dragged into Chongyao's arms by suddenly pulling his sleeves, the two of them sighed tightly, and Su Chi felt frivolous in his heart, so he taught Chongyao with a straight face: "Your Highness is self-respecting, Su Chi farewell." With the strength of his elbow, he poked Chongyao's chest straight into the chest.
The heart and lungs were tightly connected under his chest, and Chongyao took a small half step back and didn't hold back, and then began to cough.
Su Chi didn't expect it at all, and hurriedly patted him on the back: "What's wrong? Could it be that it's really tuberculosis?
Chongyao coughed out of breath, and recovered for a long time before he said slowly: "I was indeed injured in the cottage that day, but ······ But Ah Chi, the people on the mountain do taboo the identities of you and me, but it is definitely not my intention. Ever since you gave me the ledger, I have never doubted your intentions. It's just trust, it's mutual, isn't it?"
Su Chi looked at Chongyao's embarrassed coughed face with a flushed face, and his whole skin became even paler, so he had to swallow back his rebuttal, and only whispered: "This sachet has mint leaves added to it, and when you want to cough, put it on your nose and sniff it, it can play the role of a snuff bottle." ”
The corners of Chongyao's mouth were slightly hooked, Su Chi's moody problem had to be changed, and he couldn't turn all the rare meetings into enemy meetings. Chongyao was about to hang up the sachet, but Su Chi put it back in his hand, "Let's change the sachet again!"
Chongyao picked up the sachet and put it into his sleeve in silence, unable to see his emotions.
Su Chi looked at the sachet and only felt that her face was hot, but she had always been able to hide things, and she returned to normal in an instant!
