Chapter 228: An Eventful Season
In the bedroom of Mrs. Shizi of Guogong Mansion, Xiaoyu cat hunched her back, curled up in a ball and lying on the bed, the red brocade quilt was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, Xiaoyu arched into the quilt again, and scolded the little girl outside: "Don't remove the window panel!"
Yingxue frowned and pushed the door lightly, only took two steps, and Xiaoyu said again: "Don't come in!"
Yingxue didn't know what was going on, and heard the cicada shrimp say in the morning: "The prince is happy, if it weren't for the slave maid, I think he would have to turn his head and go to the front yard." ”
Yingxue retreated and asked in a low voice, "What about breakfast?"
Xiaoyu wanted to cry without tears, and said angrily: "Don't eat it!"
At noon, Yingxue came to ask for lunch again: "Do you want to send one to the prince as well?" ”
Xiaoyu just twisted her waist, and when she wanted to turn over, she felt terrible pain, and she was angry when she heard this: "Don't send it!"
Ying Xue said, "What does the lady want to eat?"
Xiaoyu put the quilt on his head, and a sullen voice came out of the quilt: "Go out!
Yingxue hesitated and walked out, and was about to ask yesterday's night watchman, when she heard another shout inside: "Yingxue, Yingxue." Yingxue hurriedly entered, and Xiaoyu snorted: "Cook me a bowl of porridge." "It's so clogged, I can't swallow the things next to me.
Yingxue nodded yes and was about to quit. Xiaoyu continued: "Bring some rice to your uncle, and then stir-fry a Luohan assortment, mushroom and cabbage sum, fried cabbage and leaves, and braised spring bamboo shoots in oil......"
Yingxue was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Aunt... Madam. Where are the spring shoots nowhere? ”
Xiaoyu said impatiently: "Then the winter bamboo shoots are stuffy." ”
Ying Xue hesitated for a moment and persuaded, "Wouldn't it be too plain?" Seeing Xiaoyu waving his hand impatiently, he had to retreat. The drum beat in his heart: "Didn't the two of them quarrel again?"
After a while, she came in with a bowl of porridge, Xiaoyu was already sitting in front of the dresser, and motioned for her to put the porridge in front of her: "Comb a peony bun and change my black silk clothes." ”
Yingxue was frightened, and secretly thought: "I heard Wen Niang say that girls like to wear black silk clothes when they kill people. ”
Because there is no window panel, even though it is noon. The room was also a little dim, and Yingxue couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to remove the window panels?" Xiaoyu tilted her head and glanced at it, thinking to himself, "I can't hide in this house for the rest of my life." There's a lot of work to do out there. He nodded with a cold face.
Yingxue hurriedly called someone to come over to remove the window panel, and at this time, Xiaoyu drank almost the porridge, so she helped comb her hair, and closed her eyes to think about things. Ying Xue pulled her hair up little by little. I saw that it was almost combed. Only then did he see the red and purple scars on Xiaoyu's neck, and couldn't help but take a closer look, and then suddenly realized: "Although Xue Shizi is a general, he has always been polite, actually... Beat someone, and beat your daughter-in-law!?"
Xiaoyu saw her stop, and felt a little strange in her heart. When I opened my eyes, I saw her staring at her neck with a change of face, so I took a mirror and took a photo. It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, I was so angry that I was smoking. I didn't think it last night. Now I see the neck and collarbone, on the fair skin, the purple-red kiss marks look very shocking. Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes angrily, and thought viciously: "Xue Boyan, if you don't swear this revenge, you won't be a person!"
Ying Xue looked at the murderous light rain, and only after a while did she tremble and said, "Auntie, girl, let Wen Niang be on duty tonight." ”
Xiaoyu snorted, raised his hand and gestured at his neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Cover this with powder first." ”
Yingxue saw her sleeves slipping down, and the exposed arm was actually ....... hurriedly leaning over to pull her sleeve, and sure enough, the spots on her arms were also purple. Yingxue's tears fell: "This ...... Shizi, how can he be so light and heavy, how good is this. Girl, don't be angry with him in the future, although the uncles are very powerful......" Yingxue saw that Xiaoyu's eyes were narrowed and her expression was not good, so she was so frightened that she was silent, lowered her head and wiped her tears, and combed her hair.
Xiaoyu thought about it, and she couldn't cover it up even if she was afraid of it: "Forget it, let's change it to a high-necked one to cover it." ”
The more Ying Xue thought about it, the more angry she became, and said hatefully: "This Xue Shizi! ”
Xiaoyu didn't know what Yingxue thought, so she nodded disapprerovingly: "It's okay, you can go out first, and ask someone to clean up my study." ”
Seeing that Yingxue covered the door, she endured the pain and moved twice, and felt that it was not too much of a problem, so she slowly paced to the study, and after a while, the cicada shrimp ran in: "Li Ying from the Evergreen Pavilion asks to see." Xiaoyu nodded, Li Ying's eloquence was on par with An Ge.
"Congratulations, ma'am. Li Ying arched her hand.
Xiaoyu bowed slightly: "How has Jingzhong been in the past few days?"
"The capture of the capital and the soldiers and horses of the five cities dispatched a large number of people, these days to check the city and outside the city, until now there is no clue, now the capital is talking about this matter. I heard that King Shou has always fought in the southwest, and it stands to reason that there is no deep hatred with the Xidu people, but Xue Shizi has been in Yanbei, so now there is anything to say, and the more credible statement is that the Xidu people took advantage of Xue Shizi's wedding to take revenge, and King Shou accompanied the prince to welcome relatives to find out the clues, but was wiped out by the Xidu people. ”
After that, Li Ying glanced at Xiaoyu's expression and said curtly: "As for the little thing when you got married, Jingzhong will only talk about the disappearance of King Shou. ”
Xiaoyu took a sip of tea, squinted, and smiled meaningfully.
Xue Yu got off his horse and walked slowly to the Fengtian Palace, before appearing outside the main hall, Liu Qing in the Criminal Department and Fang Yuan, the left attendant of the Military Department, quickly greeted him. Fang Yuan is about fifty, and he is stronger than Liu Qing, who is in his early thirties, both of them have quite solemn faces, and when they saw Xue Yu, they hurriedly arched their hands and said: "Boyan, you are finally here, the saint has been in a bad mood these days...... " As he was talking, he hid in the corner, and the Dali Temple Division, who was not in the court on weekdays, was standing cautiously aside, and when he saw Xue Yu at this time, he ran over with a sad face.
Xue Yu pretended to be all about the cave room last night, and when he saw a familiar friend coming over, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Happy, happy." ”
It was Fang Shilang, Liu Lang and others were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered the newlywed marriage of Boyan's "virtuous brother", and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”
Xue Yu didn't bother to be wordy, and returned the salute one by one with a smile: "Happy, happy." So saying, he turned to meet the others.
Liu Langzhong hurriedly pulled his sleeve and pulled him aside: "This is Song Sizheng of Dali Temple, have you heard about Ruowu's case? The Soldiers and Horses Division has been curfew for three days, and the city gate has been very meticulously investigated in the past few days, but King Shou doesn't even have a shadow, this is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, hey! Fang Shilang and I have had most of the gray hair in the past few days, and we can't sleep at night. ”
Song Sizheng didn't expect that he would be so unlucky, he had already reached such a large age, and he could return to his hometown when he saw it, and there was such a shocking case. Seeing Xue Yu looking over, he also hurriedly saluted: "General Xue, in Song Jinghe, if you have any clues about the car, please be sure to inform you." ”
Xue Yu was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "This is really the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard, and even the emperor's relatives dare to be taken captive." Zhou Chong is also a general who attacked the city and plundered the pool, if there were really thieves to arrest him, how could he be willing to capture him obediently. ”
Song Sizheng saw that he was silent, so he said with a sigh of hope: "That day, King Shou attended the general's wedding, listen, I heard that King Shou has been with the general?"
Xue Yu nodded, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and secretly thought: "Could it be that these people are not aiming at our husband and wife, but King Shou." At that time, the silver spear shot out, and I remember that Zhou Chong was beside me. Later, I didn't remember much. Didn't they attack the west and take the opportunity to arrest King Shou?"
Just as he was thinking about catching a glimpse of Han Xiangchao looking at him not far away, and seeing that Xue Yu also saw him, he arched his hand at him with a smile, and Xue Yu hurriedly returned the salute respectfully.
At this time, Chen Xiang also came, glanced around and really ran to Xue Yu, Xue Yu knew that there must be something wrong with this old man, but he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, so he had to let them bubble everywhere, arched his hand to Chen Xiang from a distance, and said loudly: "Tongxi, Tongxi." At this moment, the ministers who were discussing political affairs suddenly came to their senses and came over to congratulate them. Xue Yu returned the salute one by one happily, Chen Xiang grabbed his free time, and hurriedly pulled Xue Yuwang next to him: "Something is wrong! What kind of prince in Xidu, yesterday he promised never to return to Xidu, as long as he is willing to marry the county lord Jing to him, he is willing to be a vassal to the saint from now on." ”
Xue Yu raised his eyebrows and thought secretly: "In the past few days, I haven't thought much about this. If you see it, it is strange, in Jiu'er's words: Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Then he came to Chen Xiang's side, lowered his voice and asked, "According to Chen Xiang's opinion, is it better to marry?
Chen Xiangchang sighed: "If you want to count the people of Li, it is naturally a good marriage." It's just that...... Han Xiang meant, I'm afraid that they will have to look at Shu, and now that they have sent a prince over, why should we send a princess over. ”
Xue Yu couldn't help but nodded: "What Han Xiang said is extremely true. It's just that in this way, we can take two noble girls out. ”
Chen Xiang sighed again: "After this morning, I'm afraid that the saint will stay with us to discuss this matter." ”
Xue Yu saw that no one was busy and asked in a low voice: "How is Ruowu's trial? Why can't King Shou find it now?"
Chen Xiang shook his head and sighed: "This is an eventful autumn!" As he was speaking, there was a faint voice from inside: "The Holy Lord has arrived!" The civil and military officials hurriedly lined up and entered the Fengtian Palace.
After everyone discussed the political affairs of various places, the sage left Han Xiang, Chen Xiang, Fang Shilang and Xue Yu to the Jinshen Hall to discuss matters. When he got there, he saw that the prince was also sitting there very anxiously, and when he saw the saint coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Just now, a person dressed as a small servant crashed into the house of the head of the military department. ”
The saint frowned, and thought to himself, "You have to come and tell me about such a trivial matter?"
The prince continued: "The man did not speak, but tore the clothes on his chest with all his might, but in the blink of an eye he died. Some people who know it say it's a little guy with a squirt. (To be continued......)
