Chapter 13: The Man in the Shadows
Ling Xue'er proudly put the plate in the tray carefully in front of Kong Mingye, and introduced: "This is osmanthus rock sugar cake, and these kinds of cakes are made of tea leaves that have been baked for several days, as well as glutinous rice dumplings. ”
Kong Mingye scooped up a plow pastry made of tea leaves, looked at it carefully, and then put it in his mouth. To Liuyanqing's surprise, there was no trace of tea leaves on it, probably because the person who made the zuò carefully removed it. I didn't expect Ling Xue'er to be so diligent in making these things for Kong Mingye.
Liuyanqing also randomly selected a few of them, although the workmanship is very good, but compared to the modern cooking skills are still much worse, probably the taste has gradually become greedy, so this kind of ancient people seem to be delicious things can not impress Liuyanqing.
"It's a thing made by Xue Fei, it's delicious." Liuyanqing smiled and said with a clear conscience.
Kong Mingye still had no expression on his face, but he got up after eating the tea cake, but the tense atmosphere was not a little leisurely.
"This king hates this lively scene, which disturbs his appetite!" Kong Mingye threw down this sentence and left here. Leaving two stunned and overwhelmed people.
"What's wrong, so suddenly." Liuyanqing said with a tea cake in his mouth.
"Hmph, now my sister can get her wish." Ling Xue'er's face was ugly, and she pretended to be friendly while motioning for Xiaoqing to clean up the pastries.
Liuyanqing looked at Ling Xue'er with her big beautiful eyes suspiciously, not knowing what she had done wrong.
"Maybe it's not suitable for my sister to come today, and my sister will find a good day to say goodbye to my sister again in the future." Ling Xue'er and all the maidservants asked Liu Yanqing for a good day, and then left in a big way.
"Tsk, my dignified concubine's palace doesn't have such a big pomp."
After leaving, I don't know when the tea cake fell on the ground, Liuyanqing sighed and picked it up, and said like a baby: "Who knows the Chinese food; It's hard work, but I can't waste it, my little fish haven't tasted it yet. ”
Liuyanqing crushed the duck tea cake and sprinkled it in the pool a little bit, and then looked at the remaining things on the stone table, the two plates of salad had been eaten and there was not much left, and there was no cream cake left, Liuyanqing couldn't help but murmur when he saw this: "This brutal person has been a lot more behaved recently, it's really a strange thing, a duplicitous guy." ”
When he returned to the hall in the night, he was upset and flipped through the excerpts, and he couldn't put his mind at all, so he simply threw down these and lay on the chair to close his eyes and recuperate.
A fresh breeze blew, and the scent of some herbs wafted in it, and the smell became stronger and stronger.
"It seems that the security in this king's mansion is not very strict, you can come whenever you want, it seems that my palace should take care of those guards." Kong Mingye didn't get up, still lying there with his eyes slightly closed.
At this time, the sound of brisk footsteps gradually became rhythmic, and while jumping on this side, he leaned on the side of Kong Mingye, and when he saw that he did not react, he gently poked his body: "Can't you brother and I come at any time?" ”
"Who is your brother? But you think it is your own. ”
"Yo, duplicitous guy, I really can't scoop you, haven't you seen any movement on Kong Mingjin's side for a long time?"
Kong Mingye said lightly: "I don't know what to do." ”
"So, what about your concubine? I haven't heard you mention it since the last time I healed her. ”
Kong Mingye seemed a little anxious when he heard this question, so he turned over and said that he was not interested in it.
Yuan Fu smiled when he saw Kong Mingye's frowning and not speaking, and then said: "You once hinted that Concubine Zheng was a spy sent by Kong Mingjin, but you approached your Concubine step by step, aren't you afraid that one day she will give you a fatal blow?" ”
"Regardless of whether she is a spy or not, this king will put her under house arrest in the Thorn Lan Palace, and will not allow her to go out for half a step." Kong Mingye immediately bounced up and shouted.
Yuanfu jumped on the table and said seriously: "Do you think it's easy for you to do this?" Who knows how many traitors you have around you? ”
Hearing this, Kong Mingye collapsed on the chair weakly, his deep eyes were no longer focused, and he muttered: "So I hate betrayers the most, and if I catch them, they will pay a terrible price!" ”
The late night of the Thorn Orchid Hall did not feel very deserted, and the bright moonlight shining on the courtyard like the Grand View Garden seemed to have a unique flavor, so Liuyanqing had already smelled the moist sentiment and fell asleep peacefully. Because there was no one else in the courtyard except for the concubines during the day, it seemed much quieter at night.
The majestic wind rustled the leaves, the fish in the pool seemed to be awakened by something, swimming around in a panic, and no one was necessarily disturbed when Liuyanqing was sleeping, because he slept very lightly, and he would wake up if he was a little noisy, which was probably the reason for Liuyueqing's own physique, so Liuyanqing was very impatient, and the rustling leaves outside seemed to be unwilling to stop, and he became more and more presumptuous.
"Ah, really, what's going on today? Is there a storm? Liuyan muttered angrily, and was about to light the candle, but he didn't want to be frightened by the flashing figure outside the window.
Could it be the legendary robber, Liuyan thought in horror. But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible, the Thorn Orchid Hall is in the Night King's Mansion, although the vigilance is not very meticulous, but it is already the best for ordinary Jiangyang thieves, so the figure just now is not the person in the Night King's Mansion? Originally, there were many people in this house who were jealous of themselves, so they shouldn't have taken advantage of the night to murder themselves.
Thinking like this, Liuyanqing had already tiptoed to follow, but he didn't want to, the figure did sneak in, and there seemed to be a flashing spark in his hand, Liuyanqing hurriedly hid in a corner and observed carefully.
It was a woman in shape, but she was wearing a light night suit, and her face was covered so that she couldn't see who it was. I saw that this man put the sparkling thing at the head of his bed and left quickly.
What is it that deserves to be sent overnight? And it's strange that they are so careful not to be noticed by others.
Soon after, Liuyanqing lit a candle to illuminate the things at the head of the bed, and saw a thing that seemed to be a stove placed there, and in the center of the stove there was something like sandalwood, but there were several holes in the part of the central sphere, which was something that he had never seen before, and it was not a candle, nor was it an incense platform.
After carefully studying it for a long time, I was about to disassemble the part of the central sphere to study it, but I didn't want to drill a slender thing in one of the small holes, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly threw it out, but I accidentally touched the sandalwood at the top, and the slender thing retracted back into the body.
"Damn, what the hell is this, it's so disgusting!" Liuyanqing trembled and shrunk in a corner, but he felt more and more that this thing was very weird, if he hadn't woken up, then this thing would have gotten into his ears or mouth.
Thinking of this, Liu Yanqing felt a churning in his stomach, and kept retching, but he couldn't spit out anything.
It seems that there is no way to stay in this place, maybe I don't know how I didn't have a little life in the middle of the night, damn it, if I find out who is so plotting, I will definitely punish it severely, a concubine is treated like this, is there no law in the eyes? Liuyanqing secretly scolded in his heart, and moved out the modern set of things.
There are two bedrooms in the Thorn Orchid Hall where Liuyanqing is located, one is the main hall, but the other bedroom has been converted into a place for his own pastime, all of which are some things with modern style, specially invited craftsmen to make sofas and coffee tables, on the sofa covered with soft couches sewn by embroidered clothes, the coffee table is placed in the center, and animal fur is spread on the ground, and the modern pastoral style plus the new flowers on the table make Liuyanqing feel like he has returned to his home.
It's just that these are secrets, because this room was originally a storeroom, so most people will come here, so they have designed it secretly, in order to enjoy themselves, if someone else finds out, then they must not have to play. It's just a pity that the bed in this room is not ready, so I have to spend the night on the sofa.
But the Thorn Orchid Hall is the cleanest time at night, since the sky left tonight, more people have been sent to the Thorn Orchid Hall to hold the handle, there is no possibility that outsiders will come, and just now I looked at the woman in black, her body is vigorous and light, it seems that she is more or less good at martial arts, and it is inconvenient to go out at night now, it is not good to startle the snake, or pretend not to know, although the enemy is in the dark, then as long as he is in the dark, it is good, in the end, see who is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking like this, Liuyanqing let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't fall for the enemy's trick just now. When you get the handle, you can use your identity as the master of the harem to deal with it.
Just as I was about to lie down and rest, but I didn't want to, I heard rustling footsteps in the yard again. Qiang is powerful, not in a hurry or slow, listening to the footsteps of a man.
It can't be a killer sent by someone else, thinking about it like this, Liu Yanqing was so frightened that he quickly shrank into the quilt, and secretly prayed in his heart not to enter this room, he was almost killed just now, and it would be even more sad if he lost his life for no reason.
After a while, I heard the creaking of the main door, but the footsteps were blatant, and I walked straight to my bedroom, and tiptoed up to see who it was, but it was dark in the room, and I had to move slowly.
"Bang..."The sound of porcelain falling to the ground sounded crisply throughout the room, and before the smoke could react, the footsteps in the dormitory had rushed quickly.
