Chapter 29: Night Talk (1)
Time flies, since that day she was in a coma for three full days before waking up, Ziyang looked at her stupid appearance and couldn't stop sighing, but she didn't know what to say, took her soul blood and did a ritual to recall Huai Wenhan's soul, and then took someone to Qi Yunfeng to retrieve the lost treasure.

The atmosphere in the palace of Chengping is also very depressing, the prince Yanhan has always been calm recently, those lost the treasures that were recalled did not make him feel happy, the people of the palace also trembled and counted them one by one several times, and found that there was still a lack of the nine flutes given by Emperor Yanwu a few years ago, that was when the prince had just turned sixteen years old at a banquet because of the good poetry, Emperor Yanwu was happy and rewarded a lot of things, this Jiuhuan flute is not a valuable thing, but because it is a royal gift, if it is not recovered, it will inevitably cause criticism, and Emperor Yanwu is old, and now it is a crisis moment for the five kings to compete for the throne, and the slightest difference may cause a series of blows, Yan Han naturally knew this truth, and announced to the outside world that all the treasures were returned, but secretly ordered the mountain to be searched, turning the entire Qi Yunfeng upside down.
Yan Han did not hide it when he presented himself to the emperor, and he also added oil and vinegar to Ziyang's exploits, but did not mention Zhu Yifei, Ziyang was reluctantly called into the palace to accompany the emperor day and night, and at the age of Emperor Yanwu, the desire to pursue immortality is naturally the strongest, Ziyang is not a fool and can't tell the truth, but he passed on some health preservation methods, and refined some anti-Yan pills and the like, busy feet do not touch the ground, Emperor Yanwu was happy, and he wanted to seal the national teacher was rejected by Ziyang, he admired Ziyang very much This kind of transcendent thing that does not seek fame and fame, so he gave the sponsor Chengping Wang Yanhan the title of King Zhuo。
The throne of Yanwu Kingdom is divided into four levels, Kai, Cheng, Yu, and Zhuo, and this time it jumped to the top, and the other four kings and other princes were a little envious and jealous.
Yan Han has been proud of his talents since he was a child, and there are almost no brothers who can play with him, it can be said that among the princes, he is the most powerless and lonely person, and he doesn't care, he has always been the most indifferent to people, romantic and beautiful, and the ministers of the court and the central government all look down on him.
However, this time, he jumped into the dragon gate to make Chengping Wangfu from the door to the traffic, and in less than a month, he became the object of competition among the ministers, including Zhao Gulan's father.
Yan Han was busy dealing with the ministers, Ziyang was busy taking care of the emperor, Zhu Yifei, who was left out in the Huai Mansion to the freezing point, just stared at the moon blankly every day, Huai Wenhan had basically recovered, and the Huai family never mentioned her affairs, but fortunately, after leaving the soul, he seemed to have lost this memory of her, and the Huai family began to work with Mu Wangfu to advance the marriage.
This night Zhu Yifei is still looking at the moon, the yard where she lives is in the most remote west corner, there is no time to clean it for more than a month, the yard is full of residual leaves, only a bare old tree and a dry well, there are a few swallows in the low part of the eaves of the mud nest, now in late autumn, they are not as happy as before, except for the occasional hunting, the rest of the time is nesting under the eaves to resist the boring cold.
The sound of neat footsteps approached, and the squeaky and somewhat dilapidated lacquered mahogany door opened, and a group of pink and green maids walked in with lamps, led by Huai Wenhan's mother Mu Shi and two familiar maids, one named Cherry and the other called Xiang'er.
The servants moved their chairs, and Mu sat down gracefully, coughing lightly as she looked at the woman in white who was still staring at the moon at the threshold.
"What a wild girl, didn't the family teach you the rules?" said an old woman in a weird way.
"She's not raised by a father, what rules are she talking about?" Xiang'er smiled next to her with a handkerchief covering the corners of her mouth.
Zhu Yifei turned her head to look at Xiang'er, her eyes were sharp, and in the next second, she rushed in front of her with a whoosh, raised her hand and slapped her twice, and said in a hoarse voice, "You dare to insult my parents." ”
Her speed was not ordinary, and several of the mothers-in-law behind her had already begun to shout, "Youkai, youkai." ”
"Shut up. Zhu Yifei shouted, and suddenly the surroundings fell silent. Mu's face changed a few times, Xiang'er's face was swollen, she cried but didn't dare to say anything, Cherry stroked Mu's back, and said gently, "Girl, Mrs. is here to talk to you today, after all, you have lived in Huaifu for so long, and you don't want to hurt your peace because of some trivial things."
Zhu Yifei didn't speak, she quietly glanced at everyone and closed it again, the expression on her face was not only sluggish but sad, like a sad fairy in the bright moonlight, a green lotus bathing in dew, so otherworldly, charming and profound. Even Mu Shi had to admit that his son's vision was not bad, just in terms of appearance, the woman in front of him had thrown off Lord Mu Xiao for several streets, not to mention his temperament, if it wasn't for his helpless behavior and vulgar behavior.....
"Zhu girl, we also know that you are not an ordinary person, presumably you yourself know in your heart, my family Wenhan went out to study in the early years, and it is also a kind of fate to be able to meet you on the way back, but you and him are people of two worlds after all, I implore you here, do not appear in front of him in the future, if you can leave Taijing, no matter what you want, my Huaifu can meet your requirements, what are the difficulties, I wish the girl to say. Mu Shi said, took the tea handed by the cherry, and her elegant movements showed that she had a good upbringing, and every move of the lady from a famous family seemed to be imprinted in the bone marrow, with an enviable extravagance.
"You can't meet my difficulties. She opened her eyes and continued, "I will leave Huaifu, but not Taijing.
Mu Shi took a deep breath and said slowly, "Girl, our Huaifu has a garden in the western suburbs of Taijing, if the girl is willing to leave Taijing, I can make the decision to give the garden to the girl, or sell or live as you wish." A mother-in-law behind him widened her eyes and stepped forward and said, "Madam, that garden covers an area of 100 hectares, with mountains and rivers, it is your dowry, how can you just give it away." ”
Mu Shi waved his hand and said, "As long as the girl is willing, not Wenhan, what about a garden?"
"I said, I won't leave Taijing, I have my own reasons, not to mention a garden or ten, I don't care about it. Zhu Yifei snorted coldly.
"Our lady has given you enough face, and you dare to be a helpless wild girl in Taijing Huaifu? A stout woman suddenly shouted.
"Madame, ma'am、..... Hey, young master, young master........ Outside the open mahogany door, there was a sudden anxious voice of a maid, and Mu Shi sat up straight and tensed up instantly, and hurriedly gave Cherry a look, and Cherry gestured to a few mothers-in-law behind her, and several mothers-in-law ran to the wooden door to top it.
Huai Wenhan was already close at hand, rushed to the door and pushed it away with both hands, and the mother-in-law on both sides fell to the ground.
Seeing his hurried figure, Muhammad sat upright in his chair with a stern and gloomy expression.
At this time, Jin Yan also panted and followed, and when he saw Cherry, he smiled innocently, and Cherry glared at him fiercely and gestured at the overwhelmed mothers-in-law, who honestly stood behind Muhammad.
"Mother. Huai Wenhan's thin body was covered in a wide purple robe, and he looked a lot thinner.
"You're just recovering from a serious illness, so what if you catch a wind? Mu Shi said, and then said in a deep voice, "I left Gongzi to you to take care of, why are you so careless and don't add a piece of clothing to Gongzi?"
Hearing this, he hurriedly put the cloak in his hand on Huai Wenhan's back, and then made a detour to tie the belt in front of him.
Huai Wenhan glanced at Zhu Yifei, who had an indifferent face, and turned his head and knelt in front of Mu Shi, "Mother, the child has something to say to talk to Yifei alone." ”
"Do you want to say anything and avoid me? Wake up, haven't you been harmed by her enough? Your father and I have broken your heart for you, what have you learned over the years of studying abroad?Are you greedy for beauty?" Mu looked a little excited, and her eyes were also a little tearful, crystal clear in the moonlight, and unusually beautiful.
"Mother, it is the child who is not filial, but please rest assured that the mother just said goodbye to her, and from then on the child will respect the mother's arrangement in words and deeds, and after the filial piety period is over, he will personally go to the palace of King Mu to take the guilt and marry the lord of Mu Xiaojun as his wife. Huai Wenhan's voice was also a little choked, but it was very calm.
Only then did Mu Shi ease his expression, and after being silent for a while, he sighed, "Sincerely, help the young master up." On the side, followed by the kneeling Yan hurriedly complied, Huai Wenhan's body was still not very good, he coughed faintly a few times, and Cherry hurriedly handed over hot tea, but he waved his hand and refused.
"It's good that you can see it, Han'er, there are some things you have to understand, whoever is born in this world has a little involuntarily, your eldest brother and second brother are stationed in the frontier and can't even participate in the funeral of your grandmother's death, your father is old, and your third brother is a person who doesn't like to study, the family and the court are counting on you to occupy a place, and in the future, you can take care of your eldest brother and second brother. Mu also shed tears as she spoke, and the servants behind her were all her children, so she did not shy away from it.
Zhu Yifei was a little speechless, she was sabotaging the family who dared to love her, but what did she do? It is nothing more than that a better face has caused so many rights and wrongs, and the people who are in trouble are just some people who are greedy for beauty.
After Huai Wenhan and Mu Shi said some inconsequential words, Mu Shi left with people, leaving only Huai Wenhan and her in the empty courtyard, Huai Wenhan walked in front of her and took out an emerald flute from his sleeve and handed it over.
Zhu Yifei was stunned, she knew this flute, it was the one that Yan Jun used when he played by the lake, he was sad and sad at that time, but she didn't know why he was sad and why he was sad.
Start with cold lubrication, green **** drops, the whole body is clear and transparent without a trace of flaws, there is a circle of red gold hoops at the end of the flute, and there are three words faintly engraved on it 'Jiuhuan', except for the best jade polishing, there is nothing special about the rest.
"How can you be here?" she looked at Huai Wenhan with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't see his picturesque eyebrows clearly, and she was sad and lost.
"I've been with you since I left the soul, hidden in your headband, but you don't know it. Huai Wenhan said with a wry smile.
"I wanted to leave Huaifu secretly, but I didn't expect a series of things to happen, I'm sorry, but I can't leave Taijing at the moment. Zhu Yifei pinned the Jiuhuan flute to her waist and said after controlling her emotions.
"You come and go freely, it's just that I'm overestimating myself, in fact, why don't I know that your heart belongs? Huai Wenhan moved the realization away from her beautiful forehead with difficulty, and just like her, he looked at the moon hanging on the treetops for a moment and said, "In the door of death, I was almost burned to death, but I didn't have the courage to protect you in my arms, I can't compare to him." ”
"I killed him. When he closed his eyes, a crystal clear teardrop fell from his eyelashes and turned into a white jade bead.
Huai Wenhan bent down to pick up the jade beads that rolled down at his feet, silently clutched them in the palm of his hand and comforted, "Actually, what he said is very right, everything is just a few days, I used to not believe in ghosts, gods and demons, but now I have experienced it personally, but it is a different taste, especially demons can't escape a love word." ”
"It's cold, I'm leaving. Sucking her nose, Zhu Yifei turned around and smiled, she hoped that all this cause and effect related to her could have a good beginning and end, even if the process was not very good, but she was willing to attach the most beautiful smile to the result.
"Yifei. Huai Wenhan's thin body shook, and after a few light coughs, his cheeks, which were as white as jade, were dyed with two touches of red.
"Well, you say, I'll leave when you're done. She looked at the wall, in the seven days of Qi Yunfeng, Yan Jun taught her some ways to breathe in breath, and now it is no longer a problem to climb trees over the wall.
"Take care. Huai Wenhan's lips squirmed a few times before he spit out two words.
"Take care, too. She didn't turn her head, she jumped up, her slender and soft body, her flowing dress, like a butterfly in a dream, a meteor in the sky, disappeared in an instant, leaving a dark fragrance lingering.
