Chapter 66: The Word of the Covenant
"Brother......" Chu Hao stretched out his hand to hug him.
Su Huihui's eyes appeared in front of the heavy rain on the day of the Qianqiu Festival. He acquiesced to Liang Guoren taking away the medicine specially for his sister's illness, and in exchange for telling her that she would be responsible for the princess's illness in the future. Now Chu Ai's condition has worsened, and she has not been able to pay attention in the past two months, and she has really not fulfilled her promise at that time.
After all, he had already given her the utmost tolerance.
"The princess's congenital illness has a tendency to worsen, and it needs to be suppressed urgently, Your Majesty xiΓ ......"
Sheng Yunyi glanced at Chu Hao and held her hand, "I have my own countermeasures, don't feel sorry for her." β
"Brother!" It took a long time for Chu Hao to lift the quilt, his breath was unstable, and he coughed violently, "You...... You're here, Yunyun is sick, can you not read? β
Sheng Yunyi carried her to the edge of the bed, Chu Hao hugged his legs, and looked at him expectantly with her big eyes.
"I thought that if you were sleeping, you wouldn't mention it, but it's rare that you are full of energy and take my words to heart, and I am very happy to be a brother." He raised his voice and said: "Fu Yu, take the princess down, Lu Duzhi is worried, let him check the princess's homework by the way." β
Fu Yu replied with a "hey", thinking that His Majesty really couldn't be out of line in front of His Royal Highness, so he nodded his head twice, but he choked in an instant-why did the bed curtain come down again, Your Highness, don't look there!
Su Huihui was holding on to the soft pillow in a daze, and he couldn't prevent him from bullying him, and quickly dropped a kiss on her forehead, and after figuring out what was wrong, he subconsciously lifted the quilt and separated his hot gaze.
Chu Wei was still shouting: "Brother, you bullied my sister in the court!" The court ruled that my sister was mine! β
Fu Yu covered the princess's chattering mouth with a bitter face, "Little ancestor, let's go." β
"Ahh Brother, you made tea, I haven't drunk it yet! β
The eunuchs who came and went in Fu Yu's documents, the strength in their hands couldn't withstand the children's struggle, but they heard a sentence coming up from the curtain tent:
"You can't drink tea after drinking the medicine, it's not for you."
Hatsuhai's throat was itchy, and if he couldn't shout, he made a gesture to cry, and said lazily: "Don't want you, go out." β
The little girl was shallow, and she was defeated in three or two strokes, and was reluctantly dragged out of the Liuyu Palace.
Su Huihui maintained the posture of holding the quilt, and suddenly remembered that his coat was still on the shelf, and his face was a little unsightly. She cleared her throat and said with a businesslike attitude:
"The person who let go of the medicine theft depot last time should have been prepared in terms of diagnosis and treatment, can you tell me about His Majesty's intentions?"
Sheng Yunyi took two cups of warm tea, "You have been a master for so long, drink some water to moisten your throat." β
Su Hui put down the quilt half an inch, looked over the silver silk auspicious cloud on the quilt and touched the cup suspiciously, it was genuine, and he withdrew his strength and was about to take it, which was exactly what he wanted. Sheng Yunyi covered her slender fingers and brought her cup to her mouth, and her other hand was already around her waist. Beneath the thin two layers of clothing was smooth and delicate skin, and he had warm nephrite in his arms, sniffing the faint medicinal fragrance on her body, and the message he had heard in the morning could no longer disturb his mind. At this time, it is too incomprehensible to talk about business, but he is a person who is extremely incomprehensible, and he can't just rely on a cup.
Su Huihui reluctantly took two sips, covered the quilt quietly, and whispered, "You really don't worry about her." Do you have a backhand? What were you going to do before, can you say? β
Sheng Yunyi thought for a moment, looked at her uneasy eyes and said, "Yes, yes, but not in the palace." I have the confidence to give the twelve-leaf green sand fruit to Beiliang to do so, and send the medicinal herbs to your cousin, and get more benefits than it spent on Chu Wei, besides, there is another medicinal material in Fanjing that can roughly top up, and Chu Wei will not worry about his life. Since you said that her situation is not optimistic, you will go with me to the Dingguo Mansion tomorrow. β
Su Hui said: "Yan Gongzi told me on the day of the exam in Tai Hospital, you let me go, it was just my routine?" β
He bowed his head, and his gaze was a little more complicated.
Su Hui warmed his heart and said that when his purpose was pure, there must be something else, and he didn't want to talk to her. So he obediently took a few sips of tea and changed his tone to a softer tone:
"Then, what benefits can Liang Guo give you?"
He pressed her hair and laughed a few times, "You might as well ask me what is the harm of harboring fellow Assassins in public." β
Su Huihui put a finger against his shoulder and slowly pushed the distance away, and said solemnly: "There are a lot of harms, you have to be careful." β
He took her messy fingers and drew a circle on the quilt, "This is Xuanying Mountain, and the north is Liang Guo, this area is back, I want their iron ore." β
There are many gold and silver mines in Southern Qi, iron ore is scarce and on the north and south sides, the north side presses the national border, and the other side of the mountain is rich in output, but it is people's homes.
ββ¦β¦ Want to go to war? She asked, stunned.
He tugged at her hair, "Just talk to me, and remember not to let your colleagues hear." Do you think your position in this court judgment is very stable? Seeing that she still didn't know, "At present, I don't have time to care about the affairs of the north, and it is not with Liang to go to war, but there will always be a day." Are you going back, or are you going to stay here? β
Su Huihui suddenly became afraid, she had never taken the initiative to think about this problem, half a month ago she was still thinking about resigning and going back to Yuxiao Mountain if she couldn't stay, but now it's different. She couldn't predict the future, she couldn't see that far, maybe she thought it was far away, but in the blink of an eye it was time to make a decision.
She said with difficulty and embarrassment: "Sheng Yunyi, I don't think I'm a person who thinks differently. β
He said, "I hope you keep thinking so." β
"When I was five and a half years old, my grandmother and I left my grandmother and came to Yuxiao Mountain, and before I left, my grandmother made me swear that I would not participate in all the storms in Mingdu, and they would do their best to exclude me, so that I could grow up as an ordinary Liang country person without worrying about food and clothing, and live a peaceful life. But I thought there were no absolutes in the world, my name was left on the jade for some reason I didn't know, and my grandmother was still alive, so it wasn't up to me to decide what to do. β
"I mean, if my mother-in-law didn't object, I would have continued to stay in Fanjing, because I spent a lot of energy in the country of Qi, I had a position here, I had friends, there were people who my master knew and could take care of me, but I knew almost nothing about Mingdu, and I couldn't live there at all. If she objects to having Qi people around me and doesn't let me continue to make this court judgment, I will go back to Yuxiao Mountain, and if she wants me to go back to Mingdu, I can only go back. But I don't think she would be willing to let me go back to Mingdu in her life, and I remember my mother begging her for a long time. β
Sheng Yunyi put down the crimson teacup and said slowly: "Do you think that what you said is very polite and impeccable?" β
She looked at him, her heart so weak that she wanted to bow her head, and he lifted her chin, "So, I'll help you pick a problem." First, the Empress Dowager has been against you coming to Qi from the beginning, and the reason why she has not contacted you is because she does not know that Qin Yu will push you to Fanjing against her will. Liang Guo knows that there are only a handful of people in Fanjing, and your master, the late King of Qinghe, has used all his remaining strength to clear your tracks, and there are people here to answer. β
She was completely stunned, why did her master let her come to Qi Kingdom? Wouldn't it be better for Rong Jianchi to be her backer?
"You say my grandmother doesn't know I'm here? But when Liang Guo's secret guard came to rob the medicine storehouse, he clearly knew me to arrange the whole plan. β
"The secret guards of the previous dynasties were only loyal to the monarch, Su Huan was the successor of the emperor, and all the secret guards of the Emperor Emperor that the empress dowager could control were given to him to prevent his relatives from making trouble. I guess if the twelve-leaf green sand fruit hasn't been delivered to Su Huan now, if he doesn't ask carefully, he won't know your whereabouts. As for Mo Ciju the day before yesterday, Princess Anyang expected that you stole her family's chryson, just because she was also in the dark. They all thought you were in Yuxiao Mountain. β
Su Hui was silent and said for a long time: "Are these your guesses?" The people of the original Qinghe County did the work of cleaning up the traces, but I have never been good at hiding, and one of the results is ...... You just asked me a question, and you confirmed my identity. β
Sheng Yunyi didn't seem to hear it, and continued: "Second, what I want is not your elder's response, but your own. You can get involved with the elders, why don't you say that your grandmother definitely wants you to stay in the Qi country on her behalf? β
"I can only say that you asked me at this time, I can't think of anything else, and it's not what you want to hear when you say it."
He raised his thin lips, "Third, I can't think of anything else. Three roads, you go back to Yuxiao Mountain, I will marry you; You go back to Liangguo, and I will marry you with a dowry; If you stay, I won't even save the dowry. So I want you to stay, understand? β
Su Huihui looked at him in shock, unable to say a word.
Sheng Yunyi took her earlobe and licked it gently, her breathing made the back of her neck itch, she didn't dare to move anymore, her wrists were stiff, and she pulled the end of his hair as if pleading. His lips came to her cheeks and slid to the edge of his lips, and the deep and beautiful eyes under the slightly closed eyelashes stared at her, and his voice was focused and low:
"I just heard you read to Chu Wei, and I think that if you come from Zhaoyuan Hall every day, you are here, I can boil tea and wait for a stick of incense, talk to you, and then accompany you back to the duty station by the way. Nuan Nuan, don't you like the hairpin that sent you? I want to see you wearing it. β
He stood outside the curtain, and there were two shadows, one large and one small, on the couch, all of whom were in the palm of his hand. She explained the sentences seriously, and there was a hint of childishness in her soft tone, as if she had returned to her childhood. He couldn't help but imagine what she looked like when she was as old as Chu Hao, a little girl with brown eyes, quiet, sitting on the bed holding a book and reading, well-behaved and obedient.
His arms fit nicely to lean, and the sandalwood lingers on the tangled strands of hair, making people dizzy. She mustered up the courage to peck at the corner of his mouth, a bold act that made her sweat and her heart beat fast.
"Put it away, at home."
He endured it for a long time, and finally pressed her to his chest and rubbed it against her lips, "The official house, that's not called home." You marry me, that's it, here it is. β
Her mind was almost scattered, she turned her face to avoid his delicate kiss, and was accidentally pressed on the pillow, "The tradition of our family, my grandfather and my father have only one wife, and my grandfather is also ......"
"You have been in Qi for so long, haven't you heard that Emperor Gaozu would rather have a prosperous descendant than favor the Empress Dowager?"
ββ¦β¦ There is also a tradition, the dowry is not enough, my mother is from the West Night, and my mother-in-law's family is worried that there is no money to marry her to the palace. β
"Your dowry is all the property of Qi State, if you are willing to give it to me, I can't ask for it."
ββ¦β¦ Also, follow etiquette, so you're like thisβ" she pushed him harder, "βand that's not okay! β
He simply propped herself on the couch, fixed her waist, and kissed her deeper, "So? β¦β¦ The regulations of the Ministry of Rites will not be missing, rest assured. β
Su Huihui's ears were full of his rapid gasps, and she stared at his right hand that was firmly held by him for a while, and finally found her reason in the gap:
"Then why do you say that I can save the dowry if I stay here?"
*
In winter, the river is calm and calm, and a small painting boat floats down the river, with the bow facing north. The stars in the night are reflected in the river, the water is covered with broken silver, and the moon is dappled.
The gray-clad guard knelt on the floor.
"Returning to His Royal Highness, his subordinates asked the doctor of the Huimin Pharmacy and the residents living in the surrounding area to inquire, and the deputy envoy did not have anything suspicious, and the prescriptions, notes and official uniforms he had written were still in the room. She will soon go south with the Yan clan, and both Emperor Qi and Yan Xugui value her. The owner of Diancuifang also confirmed before that someone did buy it on his behalf, and the source of the goods was a merchant from the Western Regions in a small border town, are you still not at ease? β
Ying Zhu held a small cup of decoction and asked the master to take it, and An Yang took it lightly, "It's not that I'm not worried, it's just that I don't like her." One or two, all mongrels. β
She took off a piece of gilded armor for her, and looked at her nervously, relieved to see that the anger and shame of that day had not returned. The princess was arrogant and never allowed others to expose her shortcomings, and the female deputy envoy gently and skillfully took off her nail cover to cover up her broken nails, but she was afraid that if Emperor Qi was not there, the princess would immediately take that person's life.
As for the hybrids...... must be referring to the little slut favored by Prince Helan. In recent years, the Turks have not only gone south, but also forced several countries in the Western Regions to have no way out, and a large number of Hu people who were exiled abroad tried their best to enter the pass, begging for business in the border city, and there were also those who were extremely charming and charming, and were taken to Mingdu by businessmen with eyes to serve the old men. The son of Helan was young and romantic, and went to the place of entertainment a few times, but somehow he fell in love with the brown-eyed orchid, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to make the beauty smile. The princess threw down dozens of people in the house and chased her to the private room, but she ran out of the building angrily with a few words, and even the nails like jade onions were broken, and she lost her temper when she went back and smashed the study.
They will be able to go to Mingdu next month, and they are in a hurry, and they expect that the princess will settle accounts with Prince Helan when she arrives.
Yingzhu doesn't think so. She is different from Lianbi, she has been in the palace for a long time, knows a lot of things, and sees more far-reaching. I'm afraid it involves memories that the princess loaths, bastard...... The most important thing for the royal family is blood. She rubbed An Yang's shoulders and said with a smile:
"When the princess saw Chuan Zi before, she suspected that something was wrong with Yuxiao Mountain? It's been many years, and there hasn't been even a message there, that is, Zhuyi County has gone down the mountain without following the orders of the Empress Dowager, and it is impossible to appear in the enemy king's capital. The royal bloodline is divided into several branches, and according to the slave maid, it is very likely that the things of the prince and county lord of the elder came out during the war, and were brought to the Qi country by a sharp-eyed businessman. β
The corners of An Yang's mouth hooked up a sneer, and the hibiscus between his eyebrows emitted a sharp golden glow, cutting through the silent moonlight.
"You don't have to say this, when has this palace ever been indecisive? An ant, worth my anger for ten days and half a month? β
Ying Zhu answered the promise, waited for a moment, and sure enough, she heard her suppressed angry whisper:
"Zhuyi County...... What kind of county lord is she? Hu Han's mongrel is just that! The emperor's grandmother takes her with her every day! Oh, the fifteenth day of the first month of the queen mother's first month, a whole room of people knelt in the Mingxin Palace, and she, relying on the support of the queen mother, didn't even give us a straight eye! She has been in the palace for three years, I don't even remember who she knelt to, and even when her father sealed Su Huan and her, he exempted her from going to Yuheng Hall to receive orders! Bengong can't speak and can't move in front of her, if she moves a hair, the imperial grandmother will have to fight desperately with Bengong! What did Hongu do? This palace is her so-called clan sister, and she can still kill her? β
Jiang Feng saw through the window, and Anyang's pale cheeks as white as snow showed a sad color, "After all these years, this palace still can't forget what the queen mother looked like back then." I just ordered someone to dispose of her maid, and the queen mother dragged me to the Mingxin Palace, and knelt on the steps in front of the palace for a whole night. She took the ring ruler and slapped my hand hard, for two months, I couldn't even hold a pen, and she asked me to personally copy the scriptures for the Empress Dowager to ask for guilt! I am her only daughter, and she really does anything for the sake of the joy of Grandma Bohuang! β
The maid hurriedly comforted: "Princess, be relieved, you have also said for so many years, that master has already gone to the barren mountains and mountains, and Fuchao Palace is not a place for you alone!" β
An Yang seemed to have a thorn in his heart, looked at the vast river in the dark night, and muttered: "Yes, it's been so long...... There is such a person in the world, who is obviously precarious under the fence, but there are always people who love her and protect her, and would rather offend everyone than make her superior, so that she can easily get what everyone can't ask for. β
Curtain Bi hurriedly quipped: "Princess, what are these words, you are a master, she is no different from a common people; You have the first emperor and the queen mother, you have your grandfather's family, she is a wild girl whose parents died, and the only queen mother who can rely on is getting worse and worse...... Let's take this woman's most important marriage as an example, you have a wide vision, even the king of a country praises you, and the sons of the Ming capital are rushing to be your concubines, and the lord of Zhuyi is miserable, if we take a closer look at the land under the name of the empress dowager, I am afraid that she will not even be able to carry a decent dowry. β
An Yang's anger disappeared, and he said coldly: "What you said is good. The decoction went down his throat and into his stomach, and a thin layer of sweat appeared all over his body, and his vitality seemed to be half back, "When Bengong goes back, he will discuss with the queen mother, and Bengong likes the one of Qi very much, and is willing to conclude a good relationship between the two countries for eternity." If the queen mother and grandfather have the ability to win over the envoys, they will let it go, and the palace has no objections. β
Lianbi took the opportunity to say: "The princess wants us to negotiate with Prince Helan after we go back?" β
Helan Jin's slender peach blossom eyes flashed in front of An Yang's eyes, and she snorted, "I don't know what to do, let General Helan kowtow to the palace first, and then he will apologize!" β
The moonlight sprinkled the deck, and the maids watched as she paced to the window, her neatly combed bun in the wind, except for a pair of jasper earrings that gracefully curved.
Ying Zhu said: "What about the lord of Zhuyi? The princess ...... to her"
"The palace has been negligent, and when I return to Beijing, I will ask people to go up to Yuxiao Mountain again. Qin Yu is dead, and it doesn't make sense to keep a king of Jingbei. Her parents are folded in our hands, if someone uses this reason to help her return to Mingdu, although she can't turn over the waves, it is enough for the palace to have a headache. β
An Yang said word by word: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and what the queen mother said, this palace will never dare to forget." β
