Chapter 28: The Two Sides of Bamboo

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Leshui looking at her nervously, and when she woke up, she immediately took her hand to help her take her pulse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when she found that her pulse had improved, the smile on her lips gradually expanded, and she said, "Pavilion Master! This King Zhongtong is worthy of being a prince, and the medicinal herbs sent are also amazing! But one, the pavilion master's injury has been healed seventy percent. It's just that I've been asleep for too long, and I'm scared that Leshui thinks it's not right! ”

Mo Ruqi really felt better, so she sat up with her body propped up, and saw that in the big room, only Leshui and a group of maids took care of her, and there was no Xuanming.

Leshui saw at a glance that she was looking for Xuanming, so he said: "The son has been guarding, he just went out, what did he say about the three-day period, and Leshui doesn't know what he is doing when he goes out." ”

Three-day period...... Has she been asleep for three days? Mo Ruqi let out a long sigh and said, "Leshui, you help me to the gate." ”

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the pleasant sound of the brass bell.

On top of the hundred-year-old tree, Xuan Ming hung the copper bell, jumped down from the tree, and landed steadily in front of her. At the beginning of summer, the old trees are not too dense, and the copper bells are swaying in the wind, making a crisp sound.

"You've really decided?" Mo Ruqi let go of the hand holding Leshui, and seeing that he was sweating profusely, she took out a silk scarf and handed it to him.

Xuan Ming wiped his sweat, fixed his eyes on the copper bell, and said faintly: "Hmm." ”

A simple word, simple but heavy. With this agreement, the brotherhood that grew up and the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers who followed all the way turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in an instant.

"If you really embark on this road, there will be no turning back, can you think about it?" Mo Ruqi's eyes burned.

Xuan Ming laughed at himself and said: "Actually, I should have thought about it a long time ago, but I have always been reluctant to see the scene where brothers turn against each other and lovers become enemies." ”

"Since you have embarked on the road of revenge, you have to come to this point after all, don't you?" Mo Ruqi's expression was awe-inspiring, and his eyes were deep.

Xuan Ming nodded silently, for a long time, seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "According to your arrangement, the focus of the work of the Water Killing Pavilion is being moved to Zhonghou Kingdom, and in the past few days when you have been asleep, Shu Shui and Jianshui have arrived in Kyoto. At the same time, Jin Xin and Jin Se also gradually moved the sphere of influence of the Eight Music Workshop south to the Zhonghou Kingdom, and actively contacted the court musicians and related forces sent to the Zhonghou Palace by the Eight Music Fang, and both sides are waiting for your next arrangement. ”

Mo Ruqi nodded and said, "Okay, let Jinxin and Jinse continue to contact the forces of the DPRK and China." Shushui and Jianshui must prepare for the establishment of a sub-cabinet as soon as possible and do it within half a month. ”

"Good!" Xuan Ming responded and left.

And the informant who Yuwen Tongyi had been waiting at the gate of the bamboo garden, after seeing the signal above the old tree, quickly passed the news to King Zhongtong, who was far away in the palace.

In less than an hour, Yuwen Tongyi appeared in the bamboo garden.

"It's nice to see you so soon." Yuwen Tongyi smiled brightly, still as warm as jade, but faintly, there was a little more transparency of the people in the temple.

"Unfortunately, I still can't drink." Mo Ruqi smiled playfully, and the atmosphere between the two relaxed with this sentence.

Because she knew that King Zhongtong would come, after Xuanming left, she had already changed her clothes, and she was not as casual as last time.

The silver gold silk brocade robe, with a powerful aura, although she smiled shallowly, she exuded an aura of not being angry and arrogant. But this momentum is different from the last banquet, less guarded, more friendly.

But it is completely different from the softness in the last serious illness, less closeness, and more inviolable pavilion lord majesty.

Yuwen Tongyi's eyes were fixed on Mo Ruqi, and appreciation poured out. This woman can always inadvertently give him a new feeling.

He even wanted to see through her surface to see how many sides he didn't know about her.

"It doesn't matter. Now that they have become their own people, even if they don't have the opportunity to drink together in the future. ”

The large hands are particularly slender against the background of the cuffs tattooed with bamboo leaves. The jade fan in his hand waved gently, and the half-bundled hair also flew with it, with a leisurely and elegant feeling.

"Zhongtong Wang Neitang, please!" Mo Ruqi retreated to the side, gave way to the road, and was thoughtful.

Yuwen Tongyi smiled lightly, strode forward, and walked straight towards the inner hall, Mo Ruqi saw his striding meteor appearance, and his eyes flashed with a trace of scrutiny.

After King Zhongtong entered the inner hall, he sat down on the guest seat.

"Yuwen Tongyi seems to be familiar with Zhuyuan." Mo Ruqi picked up the teacup and raised it in the air in the direction of King Zhongtong, as if unintentionally.

"Oh?" Yuwen Tongyi also raised the teacup in return, and raised his eyebrows with a hint of question: "Why did the Moge Lord say this?" ”

Mo Ruqi lowered his eyes and smiled, his gaze fell on the delicate bamboo leaves embroidered on his cuffs and neckline, and said: "King Zhongtong's temperament is very compatible with this bamboo garden, and King Zhongtong seems to like bamboo very much. And this bamboo garden, although I am now sitting on the throne, but the real master is - King Zhongtong. ”

The people who can have such a large courtyard in Kyoto must not be ordinary people.

Yuwen Tongyi raised his cuffs calmly and said, "Lord Moge is observant, I do like bamboo." However, there are many ancient and modern literati and ink writers, and there are many people who love bamboo and chant bamboo. Why does the Lord of Moge think that I am the owner of this bamboo garden. ”

Mo Ruqi lowered his eyes and straightened his sleeves, and said with a smile: "There are many people who love bamboo, but the only person who is familiar with the location and layout of the inner hall when they come for the first time is King Zhongtong." ”

Yuwen Tongyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "The Lord of the Mo Pavilion is not only observant, but also extremely transparent. This king is indeed because he likes the character of Mo Zhu Zhong and is straightforward, rather unyielding, and has both humility and integrity, so he built this courtyard. ”

"It's really a coincidence that I moved out of the mansion given by Emperor Zhonghou and lived in the bamboo garden under the name of King Zhongtong." Mo Ruqi hooked her lips and smiled, full of deep meaning.

Yuwen Tong smiled and did not speak, nor did he defend himself.

Mo Ruqi continued: "Actually, in addition to what the prince said, bamboo also has a quality, does the prince know?" ”

Yuwen Tong became interested, straightened his body, and asked, "What characteristic?" ”

Mo Ruqi leaned on the armrest with both hands, his eyes moved from his cuffs to King Zhongtong, and he said with an unfathomable smile: "Although bamboo is modest, it is the most domineering plant in the world. Once planted, over time, it will develop into a bamboo forest, leaving no place for other species. And its seemingly weak leaves are full of barbs and extremely sharp, as long as it is supplemented by internal force, it will become a sharp weapon for killing. ”

This seems to be talking about bamboo, and it seems to be talking about people.

When Yuwen Tongyi heard this, he smiled instead of being angry: "Then, this king is looking forward to this bamboo, which can also develop into a large bamboo forest in time with the assistance of the Water Killing Pavilion." ”
