Chapter 109: Cornered
Qiu Shuiman's heart was broken, and he ran out of King Yin's mansion in a hurry, and even coldly ordered Qingluo not to follow her. [Ran^Text^Library] Walking aimlessly on the bluestone pavement, Qiushui's face was sad, as if covered with a thick layer of mist, which could not be dispersed. The dark and translucent eyes looked ahead in confusion, just like the confusion in the heart of the autumn water.
"Brother, what should I do? Perhaps, I should have listened to you in the morning, and now I would not have made such a difficult choice. Qiu Shui muttered in a low voice, looking sad.
Suddenly, an elegant and fairy figure flashed in Qiu Shuiman's mind, and his desperate eyes lit up with a light in an instant.
That's right, in Zhaoyue Country, whose strength can be equal to Qiu, in addition to Xiao Jue hidden in the dark, there is another person, and that is the national teacher Nie Rongze. Thinking of this, Qiu Shuiman could only put his last hope on the national teacher Nie Rongze.
Qiushui rushed to the National Teacher's Mansion, and unlike other mansions, the door of the Great National Teacher was actually wide open, and there was no one to guard it. Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment, stepped forward, raised his hand and shook the bronzing ring doorknob on the bright red door.
After three crisp sounds, a boy with two small buns and a delicate and immature face walked lightly to the door from a distance.
"Princess Yin, my master has been waiting for a long time, please come with Xiao'er." The boy stroked his hand and bent down to wave the autumn water, and then led the way freely.
Qiu Shui was slightly shocked, but Nie Rongze knew that she was coming?
As the doorman walked into a bamboo forest, the doorman saluted and walked away. Qiu Shui looked down and saw refreshments on the table in front of him, obviously prepared for a long time.
Qiushuiman's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sat down calmly and poured himself a drink.
"Princess Yin came to the humble house of this seat, I don't know what happened? If this seat can help, please Princess Yin can speak. In the depths of the bamboo forest, a man in white slowly stepped towards it, it was the national teacher Nie Rongze.
When Qiushui heard this, he raised his head and looked at it. The man's white clothes were elegant, and his warm and handsome face was filled with a warm smile, like an immortal. It was not the first time that Qiu Shuiman had seen Nie Rongze, this time she was alone at such a close distance, she really understood the reason why everyone in the world called Nie Rongze the reincarnation of the Immortal.
"This time, I need the help of the national teacher. It's just that I didn't come in the name of Princess Yin, or the eldest lady of the Autumn Prime Minister's Mansion, but simply in the name of my autumn water. Qiu Shui was not surprised and panicked by Nie Rongze's eyes that saw through the world's thoughts, and said generously.
Nie Rongze smiled unabated, strolled to the golden silk nanmu chair, and suddenly asked, "That seat can call you a flood?" â
"Absolutely." Qiu Shuiman's brows were loose, his stunning face was light, his red lips were bent, he smiled lightly, and replied softly.
"Shui Man, is it for the autumn night marks of the adopted son?" Nie Rongze sat down in his robe, took the small white porcelain teapot with his slender and white hand, and asked while pouring tea.
The voice was soft, the voice was clear, and there was no artificiality or disgust between the eyebrows. Together with the gesture of taking the teapot, it is also too graceful. Qiu Shui sighed secretly, once again lamenting that Nie Rongze's guess was accurate, and at the same time, he secretly tightened a point.
Qiushui doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and the method of Taoism is also half-believed, but she believes more in human nature and a series of means to raise money. Above the imperial court, Nie Rongze's status can be described as below the emperor and above the hundred officials. Nie Rongze can guess the meaning of Qiu Shuiman at a glance, and Qiu Shuiman will not feel that it is simply a coincidence. Or, the so-called heavenly calculation.
"Since the national teacher has guessed, I will directly open the skylight and say something. Everyone calls the national teacher the reincarnation of the gods, and now I am in trouble and really desperate, so I want to ask the national teacher for a solution. Qiushui smiled slightly and said modestly and vaguely. The two eyebrows were tightly pressed together, and the sadness of the stunning face was revealed again.
The smile on the corner of Nie Rongze's mouth was withdrawn, his eyebrows were warm, his transparent black eyes looked at Qiu Shuiman, his eyelids drooped slightly, and a dark light fell.
"There are many ways to do it, but Shui Man probably wants the best of both worlds." Nie Rongze raised his hand and took the small teapot to pour the teacup in front of Qiu Shuiman.
The autumn water disappeared his true love, and the slender hand picked up the teacup so that Nie Rongze. The table was too wide, and the autumn water was also a good intention, but Nie Rongze didn't expect it. One hand poured, the other hand was picked up, and the two big and small hands quietly touched each other in mid-air.
The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed silently. Qiu Shuiman took the small teapot and said softly, "I'll come." â
Nie Rongze nodded gently, his fingertips inadvertently touched the white and delicate wrist, and in an instant, the clear black eyes flashed quickly, so fast that people wondered if there was a zĂ i.
"Counting, this seat and Shui Man are also destined people. This seat can help you, but the water is overflowing to meet one of the conditions of this seat. This condition was not thought of by this seat for the time being, and it was postponed to be fulfilled in the future. Slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and Nie Rongze said softly.
Qiu Shuiman held the small teapot for a moment, and agreed with a smile. In the current situation, even if Qiu Shuiman has bad expectations in her heart, she can't be allowed to pick and choose. Even if Nie Rongze really set a trap with bad intentions, she would voluntarily jump off without regrets.
The cooperation was negotiated, and the heartstrings of Qiushui were relaxed a little. Knowing that Qiu Xiang gave her a three-day deadline, now Qiu Yeji should have no worries about life. But every time she thinks of the good that Qiu Yeji is good to her, and puts herself in danger for her, Qiu Shuiman's heart is tightened and distressed.
"The autumn night mark was held in the prime minister's mansion by the autumn, and at the moment it was unscathed, and the water was reassuring. Shui Man should cherish the people in front of him, once some misunderstandings are missed, there will be no chance to explain. Nie Rongze said softly.
Last time, Qiu Shuiman and Xiao Jue had a cold war, and it was Nie Rongze who solved the misunderstanding between the two with the power of one person. The meaning of Nie Rongze's words, Qiu Shuiman understood, was persuading her to cherish Xiao and not to miss the misunderstanding in vain.
"The national teacher doesn't know, the love is strong, and the hatred and resentment are also born together. Originally, when there was no other, he could still deal with the solution by himself, but there was a person who could be compared, and the huge gap was difficult to balance in his heart. This kind of taste, the day later, the national teacher met a woman who was not married in this life, and he knew it. The autumn water hooked his lips, but it was as bitter as Coptis chinensis, and he said quietly.
Seeing this, Nie Rongze stopped talking. After Qiu Shuiman thanked him again, he got up and said goodbye.
Qiu Shuiman returned to King Yin's Mansion, and Qing Shen, who had been waiting for her at the gate of the palace, hurriedly ran forward, looked Qiu Shuiman up and down nervously, and then asked, "Princess, where did you go just now?" Is there any injury? â
Qiushui smiled lightly, frowning and loosening slightly. Although Qingluo was the person sent to her by Xiao Jue, she had been with her for a long time, and she did not follow her in disregard of her orders, and Qiu Shui was very relieved in despair.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I just went out for a walk, I'm not an enamel doll, where is it so easy to get hurt! Qiu Shuiman raised his hand and bent his fingers to flick Qingshen's forehead, and chuckled back.
Qing Shen saw that Qiu Shuiman's expression was much better than when he left, and he was secretly happy in his heart. It's just that his eyes are hesitant and shaking, and he doesn't know whether he should mention Xiao Jue to Qiu Shuiman.
"Okay, I'm too tired today, let's go back to Qiushuiju." Qiushui lowered his eyelids, and made a decisive voice in Qingshen's hesitation, blocking Qingshen's words.
Back at Qiushuiju, Qiushuiman let Qingshui go to rest, and ordered, no one will be seen today. This is well known to everyone in the house, and it is aimed at Xiao Jue.
As soon as Qiu Shuiman returned home, someone told Xiao Jue, and Qiu Shuiman's every move, word and deed did not fall one by one. Hearing this, Xiao Jue's face was gloomy, and his long body seemed to lean weakly against the windowsill, and his back was particularly bleak and lonely.
"Lord, why don't you tell the princess the truth? If the princess knew, she would definitely understand the prince. And now for the sake of the princess, the prince has also withdrawn his original plan to save the autumn night traces. â
Chang Feng felt heartache for Xiao Jue, he had followed Xiao Jue since he was a child, and he knew too well what Xiao Jue had endured. Now, it is rare for someone to enter his heart, Chang Feng never expected that his master's love road would be so bumpy.
"No, absolutely not! Chang Feng, if you leak the slightest bit of news, you know the end. Xiao Jue's posture instantly straightened, his tone was cold, and he scolded in a dangerous way.
Chang Feng hurriedly knelt on the ground, and when he saw Xiao Jue's disgraced expression, he sighed helplessly.
Qiu Xiangqiu Gongjin wanted to win over Nie Rongze and wanted to marry the princess to him. And the emperor, under the instigation and psychedelia of the queen, specially hosted a grand banquet for Jinghua Gong. Within the four seas of the imperial court, the invitation has not been married, and there is no family, and Nie Rongze is also on the list.
Princess Jinghua is the daughter of the queen, born a phoenix girl, if she marries the princess, she will be expensive by her wife, and she will be a royal relative. Let's talk about Princess Jinghua, who is gorgeous and talented, and is a well-known beauty and talent in Zhaoyue. With these two points, the sons of the hundred families, all of them squeezed their heads, and they wanted Princess Jinghua to notice them.
On the eve of the banquet, the grand duke beside Xiao Mohai went to the National Teacher's Mansion to find Nie Rongze, bowed with both hands, and said with a flattering smile: "National Teacher, the emperor has something to do, and the National Teacher will go to the back garden to discuss." â
Nie Rongze's eyebrows and eyes were warm, and he smiled slightly, then got up and got into the sedan chair with the eldest duke, and then walked to the back garden. But waiting for him in the back garden, where is the emperor, it is clearly a gorgeous dress in purple and red, and after carefully dressing up, Princess Jinghua standing on the edge of the lotus pond.
"Princess, may I ask the emperor ......" Nie Rongze pretended to be surprised, and was still two or three steps away from Princess Jinghua standing by the lotus pond, so he stopped and asked.
"National teacher, it was Jinghua who begged his father and gave us a chance to meet. National teacher, you won't blame Jinghua for making decisions without permission, right? Xiao Yin's fair-skinned and delicate fingers twisted around the golden silk peony handkerchief, covering her lips, her eyebrows were looking forward to it, and the streamer was turning around.
Nie Rongze smiled gently, there was no joy, anger and sorrow on his elegant and handsome face, and his eyes were as deep and dark as the sea, which made people accidentally drown in them, and they couldn't extricate themselves. Xiao Yin obviously belonged to the category of being obsessed with Nie Rongze's surface, and at this moment, the joy in a pair of phoenix eyes was revealed.
Xiao Yin bit her lip lightly, looking like she wanted to complain and was ashamed: "National teacher, I won't tell you, Jinghua fell in love at first sight since she first met the national teacher. Jinghua often heard about the deeds of the national teacher in Songhua Palace, and fell in love with him early. Actually, I've always wanted to call you... Appearance... Brother Ze. â
Xiao Yin said shyly, and shouted out the name she had read countless times in her heart. Feng eyes slanted up slightly, carefully looking at Nie Rongze's expression, and found that Nie Rongze was just smiling lightly, and his heart became more and more joyful, Xiao Yin thought that the other party was also interested in her.
