Chapter Ninety-Four: Shang'er
The night bird cried, and Su warmed up and pushed him away, with heat still lingering on his ears, "You go back and live." β
He sniffed the faint scent of her hair and whispered, "Someone asked me what I would do if there had never been you." I think I'll probably marry An Yang and snub her for the rest of my life, just like my father did. I don't want you to be either a mother or an empress of Yuan, I just ask you to trust me. β
"Others can accuse me, so can you, others can alienate me, but you can't. Nuan Nuan, do you understand?"
His eyes were calm and hot, and she lowered her eyelashes in response, "I didn't question your methods and plans, because now that you're here, I can feel at ease." I've always thought a little more about myself, and if one day I don't feel safe, maybe I won't pretend I can't see anything like I am now. At that point, I don't want you to look at me with that look tonight. β
Sheng Yunyi picked her up, "No." β
She pushed and pushed, but he still carried her back to Yuqiao Pavilion. The maids downstairs were already asleep, and only the lights on duty were faintly lit in the night.
The flowers are soaked in crystal bottles filled with clear water, and the irregularly shaped petals are covered with a layer of frost and snow, glowing in the light of candles.
Su Huihui picked up some incense ash and sprinkled it evenly on the mouth of the bottle, and after a while, the pure white flowers were wrinkled like absorbent paper. She rubbed it with her hands, and the surface was slippery, as if it had been coated with wax. Let it sit overnight and then clean up the stems and leaves tomorrow morning.
After she was busy, she moved away from the small table on the couch, found the quilt from the cabinet and threw it on, originally wanting to drag a screen in front of the bed, but she was afraid that the movement would be too loud for people to hear.
He took off his black robe, hung his belt on the curtain hook, and said, "I really have to leave in the morning, I don't know how many days later." β
"So you don't want a quilt. β
She made a gesture to put it away, but he pressed it against the corner of the bed, "Don't waste it, one bed is enough." β
"Do you want to chat or talk about life?" Sheng Yunyi first occupied the position against the wall, "Gentlemen will choose to sleep in it, it is difficult to defend and easy to attack." β
"Why do you have to do this! Before I said it, I barely acquiesced because I couldn't move, otherwise I would have kicked you down!"
Su Huihui looked at his actions, one head and two big. He pulled her wrist, his long hair curled on the pillow, and his eyes were a little childish.
"It's been washed briefly, and it's cleaner than your quilt. β
She was inexperienced, and said stubbornly: "You sleep on that end, you are not allowed to move your hands and feet, and I don't want to talk to you about life." He stared at his wrist, which was held very tightly by him, and added as if threatening: "If my master was still here, you would have been finished a long time ago." β
Sheng Yunyi was happy that she praised him so much, looking up at the smokeballs hanging from the top of the bed, enjoying the squirming around him comfortably.
Su Huihui couldn't let go of the quilt at all, he was as far away as he could, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
The drums sounded in the night, and she closed her eyes, and there was the sound of leaves trembling in the wind, the sound of water swaying, the sound of soldiers' boots rubbing against the dirt, and the crept sound of the moon passing through the clouds.
"Did King Yue really send a killer to assassinate King Zhao?"
She heard her own voice too, hoarse and hesitant.
There was no answer on the other end, she turned over, retracted her hand into the quilt boredly, groped for warmth through the handkerchief, and scratched it wickedly, "Hey, you didn't sleep, did you?"
Sheng Yunyi immediately grabbed her feet, "Try to move again." β
Su Huihui's stomach hurt when he smiled, and he begged for mercy again and again, "I'm very strict, don't say it if you don't want to." β
His fingertips rested on the palms of her feet, and he said nonchalantly, "What if not?"
Without waiting for her to speak, he continued: "I can't believe what I said in front of everyone, but it's more than enough to make this uncle Wang believe. Although King Yue hired many people from the Rain Hall, this time I bought the people. β
Even though Su Huihui imagined several possibilities, he was still shocked. In Qingtai Mountain, she was almost wiped out by this killer organization, and her grandmother, who had only seen one side, was also buried in the fire. There are doctors in the world who save lives and help the wounded, and there are killers who buy lives to make money, and out of nature, she is particularly disgusted by the actions related to YiqiΔ, even if she understands his position and purpose, she cannot understand and agree.
Sheng Yunyi sat up and opened the curtain a gap, and the moonlight shone on his face through the pane, half-light and half-dark.
"You're angry. β
Su Huihui lay there, shielded the light with the back of his hand, and said sullenly: "We are not the same kind of people, I can't ask you to become what I prefer, otherwise it will be bad." Tell me why. β
He eventually moved to her pillow and curled the corners of his lips, "yes, I've never been a good person, I know best." What should a qualified bad guy do? Seek money, kill people, deceive the heavens and the earth, and then sit back and reap the benefits. β
As if telling a moving story, he told it eloquently: "The letter that Uncle Zhao received was written by me in imitation of Sheng Fuyu's handwriting. The head snake sat for a long time, Fanjing wanted to cut the domain, and the vassal kings were naturally unwilling, and King Zhao tried to unite with the king of Yue to prevent the Yan clan from taking root and settling in Qining, so as to ensure that he could collect wealth as usual. As for the reason, first, the Yan family, on behalf of the imperial court, infiltrated the industrial and commercial industry, and grasped the lifeblood of the southern provinces; second, the king of Zhao was short-sighted, and his only pleasure was to hoard silver tickets, and when he learned that Xuan Ze was coming, he was afraid to entertain them, for fear of provoking them before he made trouble. β
"No wonder the palace picked us up with such fanfare, I thought you specially greeted us. β
Sheng Yunyi reacted very quickly: "I specially greeted the Ministry of Rites, not only let them prepare a sedan chair carried by eight people, but even eighty-one entourages personally selected and carried you into Jinghui Palace." β
Su Huihui couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered, "Rhetoric." β
"If the Yue clan has some brains, he will not be an ally with the king of Zhao, but the other party is bent on finding a help to resist the imperial court, so I will build a yΓ¬ for him, and let the local big businessmen work together to give the Yan family a dismount at the reception banquet. Unbeknownst to him, the merchants were dead long before they arrived at the palace, and the merchants disguised as the killer targeted him and began to act after Maihime's wine cup shattered. Xuan Ze sat very close to King Zhao, not only to protect you, but also to take care of the life of the prince and prevent the killer from succeeding. β
I paid for the killer by myself, and then I put the killer out of the pot by myself, this kind of contradictory behavior is really rare.
"King Zhao feels that Sheng Fuyu is not a good ally, and he is ashamed of Fanjing in front of me, so he will at least not lose his sense of proportion in doing things after that. After all, he is the richest man in Qi Ning, and after the war, he has a place to use money. β
Su Huihui clasped his hands around his chest, "I remember that you were quite stingy, where did you get the money to hire assassins?"
He bent down, stared at her soft neck, and said nonchalantly: "Those merchants are engaged in the business of selling smuggled iron, and they are innocent of death, and their family property can still be burned to them if they are not used to replenish the treasury? β
"Is this what your husband taught?"
Sheng Yunyi reached out and grabbed her slender shoulder, felt that she was a little stiff, and dragged her to the front without refusing.
"Say no, don't ......"
Her voice suddenly became hoarse in shock, and he took her earlobe in his mouth and sucked slowly, "My husband has taught many others, if Doctor Su is not satisfied with what he just said, it doesn't hurt to change it." β
Su Huihui struggled in his arms in vain, and he was confined tighter, "Okay, just hold you for a while, do you want to make them all come up?"
She bit his left hand and said viciously, "At first, I said it was just chatting!"
Sheng Yunyi took a painful breath and pinched her waist, she turned around suddenly, her fingers in the quilt wiped something, and her hairs immediately stood up.
His breath suddenly became hot and sprayed on her beating pulse, which frightened her into stammering and apologizing:
"Right...... I'm sorry, you calm down......"
His hand landed on the ribbon of his midcoat, and with one hand he easily untied the slipknot. The skin under his fingers was fatally warm and greasy, exuding a faint fragrance after bathing, and he couldn't help himself, wanting to take every inch for himself.
She was afraid of him, and she might even hate his hypocrisy and cunning in her heart, his mind was uncontrollable, full of inexplicable anger, and she just wanted her to never speak again tonight.
Su Huihui held down his presumptuous hand, but calmed down, "Although I don't pay much attention to etiquette and the like, but I might as well wait until you promise to return to Fanjing and get married! This day, it's a little dry, can you ...... I understand you, it's only a few months, can't you bear it......"
"It's not the weather, I'm afraid you'll run away, who am I going to marry?"
He let go of her waist and sighed very lowly, "Nuan Nuan, don't leave here, okay? No matter what happens in the Northern Dynasty, you have to remember that you are my fiancΓ©e." I have never forced you to make a choice, but since you have chosen me, you have to be responsible, otherwise it will be unfair to me. β
Her heart was extremely chaotic, and she said with a ghost: "I know that Liang Guo is about to die......
Suddenly reacted to what he said, the tip of his nose was sour, and he was a little aggrieved: "Su Huan is weak, the Yuwen clan is in power, and even collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, I have no expectations for Liang Guo." When I was a child, my parents died, and the elders told me the reason, that is, I should not be involved with the emperor anymore. I'm also afraid of people's words, ten years later, if I don't get rid of the name of the jade reconstruction, then at least I have to get the consent of my mother-in-law to have no guilt. I don't want to get married with distracting thoughts, it's very bad for you and me, and if something really happens that makes me have to go back, it's useless for you to say anything more. β
He said bluntly: "There will be more rain than usual this autumn, and after solving the problem of the Yue Domain, while the grain, grass, and soldiers and horses are still sufficient, I will personally lead the troops to the north." If they were fighting the idea of marriage, they would have sent envoys before, and if Emperor Liang still had a little backbone, no matter how Zuo Xiang suppressed it, he would also support the war. The Sheng family has been in business for two hundred years, and I hope to go all out in this life and garrison the Central Plains. β
Su Hui leaned on his chin, "Let's both stop talking, we're a little sleepy." β
He still hugged her, "If no one in Beiliang agrees, then I will rob someone, what do you think of the identity of Mrs. Zhai?"
She covered his mouth, and two lines of tears fell in the darkness.
Su Huihui didn't fall asleep all night, he wanted to accompany her, but she was ordered to rest by covering his eyes with a handkerchief, and slept until the end of the ugly hour.
He lied to her again, saying that he would leave in the morning and tie his hair tiara now. She was so upset for some reason that she tugged at his sleeve and wiped his eyes, which overwhelmed him.
Sheng Yunyi put on her boots, lowered her body to listen to the sobs in her throat, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
After listening to it for a long time, I realized that she was complaining that he didn't talk to her well every time he left, and it was like this when he left Beijing, and it was still like this ten days ago. He seemed to remember that she hadn't been so clingy to him before, and he thought it was all his own credit.
He comforted her while changing clothes, and in the end, he pinched her cold nose helplessly, "Pack up your sister-in-law's medicine in the palace, and clean it up yourself." I'm going to be on this trip for many days, and I'm going to have to ask you to help me get my spirits up. β
Su Huihui watched his figure disappear into the window, and there was still a warm breath on the pillow, so he sat up directly, got out of bed with his clothes on, and prepared to go to work.
In the middle of the night, she sneezed, added an extra piece of charcoal to the brazier, and leaned on the edge of the table to observe the hard-won flowers.
After standing for two hours, the petals of the silver silk phoenix pill have turned moon-white, which is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the flower is, it will not be cut down. She rummaged through the room, and the next thing she had was to chop up the roots, and she had a silver knife, but a bowl was missing for the filtered liquid.
There were people down there who were on duty, and she was going to do everything she could before asking them for something. Before she knew it, the night sky faded to a deep blue, and she changed the medicine for her left leg and jumped out of the window to look at the house opposite.
The house is still not lit, Xu Buyang doesn't like to be served, he lives alone and fiddles with bottles and cans, he hasn't seen him for a day, and Su Huihui is not used to being so quiet.
When the sharp pain caused by the drug power at the beginning was better, she lifted her skirt and stepped down the stairs step by step, lifted the curtain to call someone, but was stunned for a moment.
There was a silent circle of people in front of the bead curtain, but there were no maids, and five or six river drum guards in civilian clothes stood in front of the couch, their faces cloudy.
Su Hui suddenly had a bad premonition: "Something happened?"
They saluted respectfully and got out of the way, and Su Huihui saw a person lying on the couch, his clothes stained with blood, and his chest had been bandaged.
It was Xu Buyang.
A round-faced guard said: "A certain is Ling Zhanxuan's secret guard, Mr. Xu wanted to come to the Yuqiao Pavilion to see Master Su before a stick of incense, and he fainted after speaking." Seeing that his injury is not worrying about his life, Lord Su is busy upstairs again, so I want to wait for you to do something good before reporting it. β
Feng Shui took turns, this time Su Hui warmed his pulse and checked it carefully, and then asked anxiously:
"How did he do this? Aren't you responsible for watching him?"
Ling Zhanxuan's secret guard touched his head and defended: "Doctor Xu came back very late, and when he got to the house, he went to the clean room first, and it took more than half an hour to go. A certain person felt strange, so he sneaked in to see, but he didn't think that there was an extra hole in his body. Someone protected his heart, and Mr. Xu was also quite angry, so he woke up and asked us to carry him to Master Su's Yuqiao Pavilion. β
Su Hui warmed the blue tendons on his forehead, and was assassinated in the clean room, this kind of thing will probably only happen to her, a senior brother.
