Chapter Seventy-Three: Drawing the Line
"Daughter-in-law?" Yue Xi, who had already inserted a few peach blossoms in his collar, stopped moving, hung on the tree like a monkey, and shook a peach blossom at the young man: "I'm Yue Xi!" β
The young man's delicate eyebrows furrowed even tighter, his eyes flickered, and one foot took a step back, as if he was ready to run away at any moment.
Yue Xi is in a hurry!
It's hard to see him again, if he runs away like this, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey next time!
Hurriedly lost the flower branch in his hand, Yue Xi floated down from the flower tree, and felt uncomfortable in his neck after taking two steps, only then did he remember that there were several peach blossoms on the back of his neck, and he could imagine his stupidity without looking: he must be like a pheasant essence with only the screen open!
"Hey, hey!" Three handfuls of two handfuls of peach blossoms on the body were thrown away, Yue Xi almost floated in front of the young man at an incredibly fast speed, and she herself was secretly taken aback: Damn, Lao Tzu is this a light skill?
"I'm Yue Xi, Yue Xi!" Yue Xi looked at him with her head tilted slightly, the last time she came and went in a hurry, and she was anxious to avoid the officers and soldiers, she didn't look at his appearance very carefully!
Yue Xi took another step forward and stood face to face with the young man, looking at his face with a smile in his eyes and infinite love and greed: That's right! This is Beibei...... The eyelashes are still so long and thick, the skin is still good that women are jealous, this high nose bridge, this pink mouth, is still beautiful bubbling......
It's just that why did he grow taller again?
It's only been a few months since they've been apart, and it's hard for me to even look up at him......
"Hey, I'm Yue Xi, Yue surnamed Yue, the sun hits the west and comes out of the west...... Yue Xi repeated the same sentence to him over and over again, full of sad expectations: Say it quickly, say it quickly, say that your name is Jun Bei, the king of the world, and the north of the north where the wild goose flies south...... Beibei, you are my Beibei......
"Su?" The woman's voice was soft and gentle, and it seemed to be nearby.
Yue Xi's heart sank suddenly, and he immediately felt that the temperature around him had dropped to freezing.
She poked her head out from the young man's body and looked expressionlessly at the woman behind him who was holding a servant girl stepping on lotus steps.
The woman was wearing white of the same color as the teenager, but the hem of her long skirt was slightly longer, although it was not 'swaying and hanging on the ground', and this kind of dress was very unsuitable for walking such an overgrown and withered mountain road, so even if she tried her best to maintain a graceful demeanor, in Yue Xi's opinion, she still walked with a sour posture!
The woman holds the hair of an unmarried girl, and there is a step on the left and right of the butterfly bun with a chain of seven treasures, and the wind blows, and the chain worn by the seven-colored gems sways gently with the wind, and it is brilliant!
The woman's facial features are bright and her figure is concave and convex, but her eyebrows are drawn on her face, so that people can't see the quality of her skin.
The person is a beauty, and she is still an extremely rare peerless beauty, but the beauty is not right when she appears, so Yue Xi can't help but have a subjective hatred for the other party when she sees her!
"Yikes!" Obviously, he didn't expect that there was a living person hidden in front of the young man, and the beauty with bright eyes and cool teeth exclaimed, and immediately stopped, standing there not far away and looking at Yue Xi's face without a trace: "Su, who is this?" β
"He's Yuexi."
The young man turned around and opened his mouth lightly, his voice was gentle and good!
The man behind him said his name so many times, he couldn't remember it anymore, didn't he really become an idiot.
"That ......," the young man paused as he spoke, presumably not wanting to repeat the old story, and continued, "He was the one who saved me." β
it! I haven't seen him for a few months, why has Beibei become a bastard boy who is heavy on color and light on friends?
If you say that you will always only smile at me as a woman? Although Lao Tzu is wearing a man's robe, it is a fake daughter's body!
Also, what's the matter with you butting your ass at me? Is your smile only for the vixen......
Yue Xi Neili fried and fried five flavors of mixed Chen to a certain Cheng dΓΉ but unusually calmed down, she took another step forward, stretched out her arms around the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, I didn't expect you to remember my name so clearly!" β
The boy's body stiffened leisurely.
With his keen intuition, Yue Xi immediately felt the sudden murderous aura on the other party's body!
But, she didn't want to retreat.
Especially in front of the unidentified beautiful woman, she didn't want to take half a step back.
The two of them hugged each other intimately in such a posture, and all their muscles stiffened and stood on guard.
The young man turned his head with a snow-white face, and almost whispered in Yue Xi's ear: "Let go." β
Yue Xi also turned his head, nose to nose to nose, eye to eye, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, no!" β
The young man's face was blank, and the palms hanging at his sides were already clenched into fists.
Yue Xi's empty right hand was raised, and he held his right hand without hesitation: "You said, we will celebrate the New Year together in the future, and I promised you, I always speak words, and we will all celebrate the New Year together in the future......"
Beibei, now it is you standing in front of me, and why is your palm held by my hand missing the warmth of the past?
What makes you cold like this from the inside out?
Don't be afraid, I'm here......
I'll warm you up......
From the moment he held the young man's palm, Yue Xi had already concluded: He is Beibei!
Beibei's palm was as soft as boneless, every time she held it, the other party would definitely blush and dodge, at this time, the young man blushed, and then even his eyes were red, and he wanted to stare at Yue Xi like a cannibal.
"It turned out to be the son-in-law," the beautiful woman in white let go of the hand holding the maidservant, and saluted: "Since you are a friend of Su, you are also my friend......"
"Hey......" Yue Xi's eyes were still looking at the young man, full of smiles, but what she said was to the woman in white: "You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" β
"I don't know you, why should I be friends with you?"
The woman in white and the young man in white were both stunned, obviously not expecting her to say such rude words, but the woman was stunned, and still bowed gently: "Since the son thinks that Han Huachao is not worthy of being friends with you, the little woman will no longer climb high, but I still have to thank you for saving my family!" β
The heart was beating wildly!
The memories belonging to Han Yuexi in Yue Xi's mind became active.
Hanhua Dynasty ......
Isn't it the first beauty in Zhao in Zheng Baocai's mouth, Miss Han Er's Han Xiangye's family!
Miss Han Er's words were very clever, which not only showed her identity, but also explained her position, it can be said that she was polite and courteous and maintained her posture as a superior.
It's a pity that the object of her speech is Yue Xi, who is like hob meat, so these beautiful words become like a fart, and only the sound and stink remain.
"Again: things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately! He is my daughter-in-law, this has been decided a long time ago, how did it become your family...... Plain? β
Yue Xi only watched the young man speak, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, even ...... Faint tears......
In this life, aren't you called Junbei? How did you become a vegetarian?
Such a look made the boy stunned, and then he frowned again.
From Yue Xi's eyes, he read thousands of tastes, but none of them were hostile to him.
This kind of realization surprised the young man, and he couldn't help but look at his Yue Xilai from a new perspective: Looking at his eyes, it is clear that he knows me, could it be that my memory is too poor, this person is really an old acquaintance?
"I ...... Said I wanted to celebrate the New Year with you? The boy asked hesitantly.
"Hmm." Yue Xi nodded: "You said it." β
"You also said that you would raise me...... But it doesn't matter, before you remember me, let me raise you so-so! β
"Nonsense!"
The young man was anxious, his face became redder, and he felt that he was being molested, or he was molested by a thin man!
It's just that he didn't dare to move and struggle, because the other party's posture of hugging him was really ingenious, one leg stood between his legs, and his right hand was still held by the other party...... In the end, I was pressed by the other party!
Such a result was obviously not what the boy wanted, so he still maintained a 'friendly' posture between the two and did not dare to act rashly.
"You know each other?" Such an intimate posture must be rare between close friends, and the two seem to be glued together, and they have no intention of separating, so Miss Han Er looked very strange: What's wrong with this? I usually want to touch him and cause him to be unhappy, but now he can let that person do this to him...... It's so strange!
"I know, and I have decided for life, he is my daughter-in-law......" Yue Xi said triumphantly.
"Humph!" The young man in white snorted coldly.
The two of them spoke at the same time, and the words they said were actually very different.
"Hey, hey!" The young man was unexpectedly restrained by himself and did not dare to act rashly, Yue Xi felt both desolate and funny in his heart: I didn't expect that I would have to work so hard to stand with you......
She raised her head and casually glanced at Miss Han Er, who was standing not far away, and when she saw the peach blossom she was still holding in her hand, she exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "Son! β
When Xilai heard Yue Xi's greeting, he immediately stepped on the flower branch she threw on the ground and rushed over, with a grain of bud rice flour on his lips.
The little thing rushed over, and first shouted to Yue Xi: "Daddy! β
Then Xilai walked up to the young man in white and looked at him with a little face for a moment before reluctantly speaking: "Mother." β
"Poof!" This title made the two people who hugged each other stunned, and Yue Xi immediately burst out laughing and said almost with his eyebrows flying: "Good son, don't be busy recognizing your relatives first, you hurry back and call someone up, just say that Daddy caught the murderer!" β
"What?" Yue Xi's words surprised both the boy and Miss Han Er, and the two of them didn't have time to find trouble with Xilai, so they looked at Yue Xi, who was smiling with his mouth open, and asked, "Where is the murderer?" β
"Haha...... Of course it's not you! The little thing has been with her for so long, and it really hasn't been in vain, and now it has become eccentric, and the words she said with one mouth are actually something that even Yue Xi never thought of, the more she thought about it, the more funny she felt, especially the young man's pretty face became more and more red, Yue Xi's bad taste was deeply satisfied, and he almost wanted to hold the joy to turn around a few times to express his happy mood now!
"Why do you talk like this, could it be that our young lady is a murderer?" Seeing that her own young lady was repeatedly suffocating under the sick man with a pale face opposite, Miss Han Er's personal maid looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, Yue Xi immediately nodded: "Haha...... That's her! β
"......" The young man looked sideways at her, his expression cold, waiting for her to finish speaking.
Yue Xi looked away from him, and she would be sad if she saw too much with such a detached look.
"Since the two of you are the people of the Jokhang, don't you know that the emperor's destiny is like a mountain?"
She opened her mouth solemnly, and her expression was as strict as the judge sculpted in the Chenghuang Temple: "This mountain is called Huagai Mountain, and the trees of a mountain have been given the title by the first emperor, and the name is: 'General Qingliang'!" Miss Han, you dare to blatantly break off the arm of the 'cool general' now, let me ask, how can a general ride a horse to kill the enemy without the arm of the sword? β
"So, the cool general who was killed by you will definitely die of depression, do you still say that you are not a murderer?"
"......" Yue Xi said generously, righteous and awe-inspiring, quite a knife to chop Miss Han Er at once to avenge General Shu, and the trees on this mountain are indeed sealed by the emperor, so if this thing is really stabbed out, it is still Miss Han Er's wrong!
"Son, hurry up and go down the mountain, and tell the people of the official mansion that someone is harming Zhongliang on the mountain, and many tree generals have already been poisoned by Miss Han Er!"
"Whew!" Xilai immediately responded, turned around and ran: "I'll go and tell Lord SΓΉ County, he likes to beat people on the board, spanking the board...... Bang bang bang ......"
"......" was almost a happy sentence, and Miss Han Er and the young man in white invariably imagined it, thinking that the two of them were spanked on the stool by the official messenger, and the two of them had a cold war at the same time.
It's not that I'm afraid of pain, but I can't afford to lose this person!
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
The young man in white and Miss Han Er opened their mouths at the same time, and their tones were the same: "Is it okay to borrow a step to speak?" β
Not good! Not good at all!
Yue Xi smiled and turned his head to look at the young man, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Do you want to intercede for her?" β
"I ......" The young man hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "I broke the flower branch, and I really don't know what my son-in-law said......
"Today...... Please raise your noble hand and let me go, okay? His voice grew lower and lower, so low that only the two people in close proximity could hear him.
Even the more angry he spoke, he softened......
He's coquettish to himself!
Yue Xi's heart was cold.
This young man who saved himself was playing a 'beautiful man's trick' on himself for Miss Han Er, and he was willing to do this for that woman!
The only smile left on Yue Xi's face could no longer be maintained.
She let go of the hand holding the young man's vein, her left leg retreated, and the arm that was on his shoulder and could lock the other party's throat at any time was withdrawn, and Yue Xi let go of him.
"That woman doesn't deserve that." Yue Xi said lightly and then turned around: "Son, let's go home." β
"Where's my mother?" Xi turned around and glanced at the boy again.
He ...... Lost...... I'll always go back in the future. Yue Xi said almost inaudibly.
"Oh." Xilai nodded, and didn't look at the boy again, but trotted to follow Yue Xi's footsteps.
"Yuexi." The young man's voice came from behind him, and it was also cold and terrible.
Yue Xi stood still and turned to look at him: "I am." β
He walked over and stood still in front of her, scrutinizing her countenance, as if trying to find the memory of their acquaintance......
However, in the end, he still didn't get anything from Yue Xi's pale and thin, clear-eyed face.
"Here's for you." The young man picked up the purse hanging from his waist, took out a paper roll from it and handed it to her: "Twice, I think this is enough." β
"What is this......" Yue Xi looked down at his slender fingers like jade, unable to take his eyes off, and wanted to hold the hand that made him feel warm again.
"Silver ticket." The young man said lightly, his tone detached: "This is the silver ticket of the 'Baotong', which can be exchanged for huΓ n in any silver village in the Jokhang territory." β
"Why do you want to give me money?" Yue Xi lowered his head, his eyes moved from his hand to the purse hanging from his waist, and the delicate purse made of moon-white brocade was embroidered with silver silk thread a cluster of fan-like flowers, which were acacia flowers......
"It's five thousand taels." He replied in a way that was not asked.
"Do you want to settle the matter with my money?" Yue Xi sniffed and asked softly.
The other party's hand was still stretched out in front of her eyes, but he stopped talking.
"Hey, hey! Earned! Raising his hand to snatch the silver ticket, Yue Xi led Xilai away quickly: "You are really cheap!" For such a big person, it's worth five thousand taels ......"
"Yuexi!" The boy stopped her again.
Yue Xi also stopped again, only this time she didn't look back.
"Remember what you said: our money and things are cleared! If you encounter ...... again in the future"
Yue Xi took Xilai's little hand and left without looking back.
She walked so fast that she didn't hear what the boy said at the end.
Some words will hurt people when they are spoken, Yue Xi died at the hands of Brother Dong, and she didn't want to be hurt by Beibei's words again......
In that way, she will also find the world boring.
"Su, today's things are all bad for me." It wasn't until the figure staring at Yue Xi completely disappeared behind the flower tree that Miss Han Er walked to the young man's side.
"If I hadn't insisted on coming outside the city, you wouldn't have been humiliated by him! It's all my fault......"
"Flowers towards ......" The young man lowered his head and stared deeply at the beautiful woman, his eyes were complicated.
"Su?" Miss Han Er raised her face and did not avoid his gaze: "Are you complaining about me?" β
"Alas......" The young man sighed loudly, and said to the maid who was standing aside, "Come and help your young lady......"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the path from which they had come, and his steps were vain.
Han Huachao held the handmaid's arm and stared at him, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "No wonder I didn't kill that person, it was poisoned......"
β¦β¦
"Go and invite your master over." Yue Xi returned to the palace expressionlessly, she didn't look back, and she knew that there was no one behind her.
It seemed that everything she had expected was about to begin.
Some people can't help but want to reach out to her!
"Whoa." Xilai responded and turned around and ran outside the Tingtao Palace, but Yue Xi behind him added: "Please invite Su Jinyan and Chu Yingzhi over again......"
Seeing that it was time to eat, everyone gathered in the kitchen early, and Xilai only ran one place to bring the three of them back together, followed by a cloud painting with a teapot.
When everyone saw Yue Xi, who was sitting at the table in the main hall, he was about to give a salute, so she waved her hand to stop her: "There are some things to discuss with everyone, hurry up and sit down." β
Taking the teapot in Yun Hua's hand, Yue Xi poured himself a cup, and then stretched out his arm to put the teapot in the middle of the table: "Who pours it ...... with whom?"
Seeing that there was no need to serve himself here, Yun Hua hurriedly saluted and retreated, and led Xilai, who was still standing at the door, out of the hall: "Go play with your aunt at the door......
"What's the matter?" There were only four people left in the huge listening hall, but they were so quiet that they could hear a needle falling on the ground.
Chu Yingzhi, who couldn't hold back, saw that everyone closed their mouths and didn't speak, so he felt a little furious in his heart, so he opened his mouth first.
"It's not been a peaceful time outside the palace lately." Yue Xi was holding the hot teacup in her hand, and she just wanted to scream, but she still endured the heat and did not let go, it seemed that only when her hand was burned, the coldness in her heart would thaw.
"What?!"
"Mother, do you see someone?"
"Is there anyone staring at this place of ours?"
The three people at the table opened their mouths at the same time, and they all expressed their shock at Yue Xi's words.
"There are not even decent tables and chairs in the palace, which are not what those people covet." Yue Xi opened his eyes, looked at Chu Yingzhi and said.
"That's it!" Chu Yingzhi patted his thigh: "I'll just say, although there are many houses on the mountain, they are covered by snow in winter, and it is difficult to even go down the mountain, who would want to live here?" Could it be that you are thinking about us? β
As soon as Chu Yingzhi's words came out, he suddenly understood: although there are no valuable things in the palace, there are still several women with beautiful faces!
Even if you trick a woman in the palace and sell it down the mountain, it's a lot of silver......
"Niangniang, did you see those people?" Someone had the idea of a woman in the palace? Su Jinyan, whose wife and children were in the palace, couldn't sit still, and he asked nervously.
Jiang Lan's current identity, their family will not be able to return to the original county after all, if even a place like the palace has become unpeaceful, then, what should be done in the future?
Su Jinyan's family's lives are in the palace, and he is naturally more worried about the safety of the palace than others.
Halfway through speaking, Yue Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had gone astray and thought of the danger to a few concubines.
This is exactly what she wants.
She was already condemned as a dead person by the one in the imperial palace, and she had to hide it for a while if she could hide it for a while. Otherwise, it is not good to make people panic and mess up.
"Just now I took Xilai up the mountain, walked around a few places near the palace, and I have seen a lot of footprints."
In the previous life, Yue Xi was a lazy person, and if it was not necessary, she rarely did things that wasted her body and financial resources.
For many days, she had the feeling of being spied on, and this morning she saw the tip of a tree on the top of the mountain still swaying a few times in the absence of wind, so she had this judgment: the palace is being watched!
So she took Xilai to wander around a few places on the mountain as if unintentionally, and sure enough, she found a lot of clues.
It's just that she didn't expect that she would meet him in such a situation.
When Cong Mountain came down, Yue Xi thought all the way, still not understanding what kind of person could be compared to someone like Miss Han Er?
And when she held the young man's pulse, she could clearly feel the scattered pulse beating under her hand and the sometimes strong and sometimes weak pulse.
It is clear that these people are only coming for themselves.
And it wasn't sent by the one in the palace.
Yue Xi can understand this as soon as he thinks about it.
But well, whose eyes are you hindering yourself in the palace?
"Don't let the women of the palace know about these things." Yue Xi took a sip of the teacup, the tea is very good, the tea is very fragrant, it was sent by Ye Miancheng last time.
"Hmm." A few people www.biquge.info their heads with a fun look.
"At night, we have to leave someone on duty, and you will arrange this high father-in-law. Let's say that there are wild beasts in the mountains, so that the big guys should be more vigilant and run less at night. β
"The most important point is that everyone has put on all the things that they don't need, and I don't know when we may have to move!"
The enemy is in the dark, she leads a large number of people to be exposed in the light, such a battle is not easy to fight, and Yue Xi can't leave these people to escape by himself, in that way, I'm afraid that once the news of her disappearance comes out, it will be time for these people in the palace to ascend to heaven together.
Therefore, she can only lead them to abandon the light and turn to the dark, which is a real way to live.

Beibei said that he wanted to clear the financial affairs, which was to draw a clear line with Yuexi~
