Chapter 37: The Urging Call
Rong Xi looked at his eyes and felt that this man was really inexplicable, wasn't it just an "auction", as for being so serious?
"You ......" Leng Yixiu looked at her innocent look, and finally didn't get angry, but just asked sadly: "Have you secretly been to the Qinglou?" ”
"Hmmm......" The sip of tea that Rong Xi had just drunk in her mouth was squirted out, she coughed a few times, and looked at Leng Yixiu with a pair of eyes full of water, "What do you mean?" ”
"How else would you know this?" Leng Yixiu saw her cough and involuntarily stretched out his hand.
Rong Xi turned around, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Which one?" Which do I know? ”
"Auction." Leng Yixiu pursed his lips after speaking, for fear that he would not be able to resist asking again.
Rong Xi rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smile that couldn't help it, "Please, the auction is not a big secret, what's so strange about knowing this?" Don't you know that strange goods are inhabitable? Isn't it just for the auction in the end? ”
Leng Yixiu listened to Rong Xi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then there was a contemplation, although he had not heard of the words in Rong Xi's words, but the meaning in them was vaguely understandable, he was surprised to find that Rong Xi's little head contained too many surprising things, not only in court affairs, but even in the scope of business, what was she and how could she do this?
And from the time she mentioned the word "auction", her eyes were clear, her expression was open, there was no trace of evasion, and there was not even a trace of artificiality in the tone of her voice, which showed that she didn't think of the aspect she was thinking about at all.
Leng Yixiu suddenly felt a little ashamed.
When he looked up at Rong Xi again with a little apology, he found that she was asleep with her elbows on her cheeks, her eyelashes together.
Leng Yixiu looked at her who was sleeping, there was a rare quiet and peace on her face, her eyebrows were as dark as a feather, her eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids, and her smooth eyelashes reminded people of the wings of a perched bird, so quiet that people couldn't bear to disturb it, the wings of her nose moved gently, the tip of her nose was as bright as a pearl, and her lips were pursed together, like a red cherry.
Thinking of the series of things that happened today, Leng Yixiu felt slightly distressed in her heart, she was too tired...... Since the accident in Rongfu, the nerves have not been loosened, and they have been tightly tightened, and the anxiety in her heart can be imagined, especially today......
For the first time in Leng Yixiu's life, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and even his own woman was almost unable to protect him, his heart suddenly twitched, and an astringent pain spread.
He stood up gently, his fingers flew quickly and gently across Rong Xi's sleeping hole, her breathing was a little heavier, he stepped forward, bent down and picked her up gently, marveling at her lightness and softness, the bones in the shoulders under the fingers seemed to be clearer, hard and hard made his fingertips hurt a little, and the pain lingered in his heart, this woman ...... I don't know how to cherish myself at all, but I'm losing weight again!
Angry, his movements were gentle, he unconsciously leaned down his face, and put his head sideways against her face, her skin was slightly cool as jade, as delicate as fat, the two touched each other, the slight elasticity and slippery feeling made Leng Yixiu's heart admire.
He chuckled, pulled his arms into his arms again, took a deep breath, and finally worried that she would not be comfortable sleeping like this, and slowly put her on the bed.
Looking at her sleeping appearance, Leng Yixiu's eyes were heavy and warm, and there was a moist glow in his eyes that he didn't even know, the flowers outside the window were fluttering, and the fragrance of flowers was faint, which couldn't match the current affection in front of the bed.
For a long time, Leng Yixiu smiled faintly, that smile came from the heart, there was no previous entanglement, no previous hesitation, that smile was plain and real, and there was a kind of clarity of understanding.
Rong Xi slept until dawn, she couldn't remember how she fell asleep while sitting and sitting, and she didn't seem to have eaten dinner, and her stomach began to rumble in protest.
"Miss, are you awake? The slave and maid will wait for you to wash up, and the food will be warm. As soon as Xiao'er saw that she was awake, she hurriedly came over and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm really hungry." Rong Xi rubbed his head and said, "Where is the food warm?" ”
The smile on Xiao'er's face was even stronger, "In the small kitchen, last night, the prince personally ordered it, and a few grandmothers came immediately, and the pots and pans are all new." ”
"Kitchenette?" Rong Xi turned his head to look, and didn't seem to hear any movement.
"Miss, don't look at it," Xiao'er couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she looked at Zhang Wang, "The prince has ordered, the other people only need to cook the meal, and other voices are not allowed to make other sounds, and they must not disturb your rest." ”
Rong Xi was stunned for a moment, and Leng Yixiu's usually tense face appeared in front of him, as if he was in his sleep last night, he smiled warmly, the corners of his mouth were like a moon, and his smile was as bright as spring.
"Miss, go and taste it, eat the rest to reward the slave maid, that aroma ...... The slaves and maids are drooling. Xiao'er's voice was cheerful like a bird, her eyebrows fluttered, and her face was ruddy.
Rong Xi rolled her eyes, this girl was obviously much more lively than when she first came, her eyes lit up, and it seemed that the oppression she had suffered before was really not small.
Seeing Xiao'er happy, her mood slowly soared, and her stomach was really hungry, and after washing, she sat down at the dining table, and couldn't help but marvel at those exquisite dishes.
Rong Xi has never eaten such an exquisite and rich breakfast in his memory, but he didn't expect to experience it here, and his heart was slightly warm, but he ...... Where did that guy go?
Removed the food and rinsed his mouth again, Rong Xi came to the courtyard, stood under the corridor and thought about what happened in the East Palace yesterday, the strange "suicide" of the little eunuch, the sudden cold light on the roof, the prince came in a hurry, these many signs, people do not suspect the prince, it is really difficult.
However, now that the person is dead, how do you start?! After calculating the time, half a month has passed, and the only clue has been broken like this, which is really unwilling.
"Woo ......" Suddenly, there was a hum in the distance, the voice was low and desolate, the tone was extremely slow, and it was extremely long, as if someone was whimpering in the air, and the sound of the wind had a sense of sorrow, as if even the sun was dimmed.
Rong Xi listened to the voice, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition slowly hit his heart, like a big dark cloud, coming quietly, slowly blocking the dazzling sunlight, leaving only a dark and dull breath.
"Bang dang", Rong Xi turned his head to look, Xiao'er was standing behind him, the tea cup in his hand had been shattered, the fragments of blue and white porcelain on the corridor were shining dazzlingly in the sun, almost burning people's eyes, a piece of tea was splashed on the corridor, and the splashing on the blue bricks suddenly reminded Rong Xi of the blood that flowed slowly when the little eunuch died yesterday.
Xiao'er's face was as white as paper, her lips were trembling uncontrollably, her eyes were staring at Rong Xi, and the big tears rolled down silently.
This sudden abnormality made Rong Xi's heart tighten and tighten, and she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao'er's voice changed tone, and she stammered, "Miss...... This...... The voice...... It's ......"
"What is it?" Rong Xi took a step forward, and there was a burning pain in his eyes.
"Miss, that's the folk commonly known as the 'Urging Horn', as soon as this horn sounds, it means...... The representative ...... "Xiao'er's voice choked," representing that someone was going to be executed. And when it sounds, it means that the person who is put to death is a member of the court, and that it is a sin and a ...... of the whole family."
Rong Xi doesn't know much about these ancient cumbersome rules and systems, but even if she doesn't understand it, she already understands that who else can be copied by the whole family now?
Her body shook slightly, and she reached out to hold the pillar, her nails digging tightly into the wood, leaving a slight finger mark, "But, even if you are guilty, don't you usually be executed after the autumn?" ”
"Miss," Xiao'er's tears flowed faster, "the master is guilty of collaborating with the enemy, this crime...... It was decided by the emperor himself, so naturally there was no need to follow the old practice. ”
Rong Xi suddenly felt that the sun was extremely dazzling, she closed her eyes slightly, Xiao'er's extraneous meaning, that is, it all had to be in accordance with the emperor's thoughts? He can live whoever he wants, and die whoever he wants, and he still wants people to die when they die, and people have to die happily? How can there be such a truth in the world?
Rong Xi's eyes sharpened, and such a sudden change made her more convinced in her heart, this matter must have a lot to do with the prince, otherwise, why did she go to the East Palace yesterday, and it would be like this today?
She gritted her teeth fiercely, swallowing all the anger into her stomach, her fingers were retracted fiercely, the sawdust on the wooden pillar fell down, and her little fingernails were broken off due to too much force, and blood flowed out instantly.
Rong Xi didn't care about this, she quickly turned around and entered the room, Xiao'er's eyes widened, "Miss, Miss!" And Rong Xitou didn't go back, Xiao'er hurriedly chased after him.
Rong Xi rummaged in the closet and asked, "Xiao'er, what about the men's clothes I wore when I went out that day?" ”
"On the second floor," Hyo-a replied, but she didn't know what she was doing.
Rong Xi grabbed out the set of clothes, quickly changed his makeup, and then took out a dagger from under the pillow and quickly walked out of the room.
"Miss!" Xiao'er vaguely knew what she was going to do, so she screamed in a hurry, her voice was hoarse, and her sadness made her heart ache.
"Xiao'er, you can stay here." Rong Xi stopped, said briefly, and quickly ran towards the horse shed in the side yard.
"Something big is going to happen!" Leng Fifteen was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "What can I do about this?" The prince hasn't come back yet! It is said that he should come back at this hour, and someone must have deliberately dragged the prince! ”
Leng Sixteen looked in Rong Xi's direction, his eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and then, he gritted his teeth.
