Chapter 187: Monsters
"No, it's not! The slave had never done anything like this! Qingyang burst into tears, her fists clenched, anyone could insult her and make her angry, but she just couldn't slander her for killing her dearest miss.
Bailijin raised his eyebrows and sneered twice, his eyes locked on her, and his tone suddenly hardened: "Whether you have done it or not, I tell you, General Gongsun will become a concubine sooner or later, don't be whimsical, the emperor has already decreed, after this civil strife is calmed down, choose a good day and an auspicious day to order General Gongsun and the princess to marry, even if you worship Lian Jin as a god, it will be useless." ”
……
The quarrel outside the house stopped for a while, Lu Qingya shook her head, and said helplessly: "This is now, I really shouldn't let her follow." ”
She dismantled Yue Mingchong's bun on the top of her head, and the wet hair hung down like aquatic plants, Lu Qingya picked up the dry cloth next to her hand and wrapped Yue Mingchong's green silk into the cloth, and a soft smile rose on her lips, "Even the girl's head happened so well, it was black and shiny, just like General Gongsun." ”
Turning her head and glancing in the mirror, the person in the mirror was sitting upright, without a trace of waves on her face, she said regretfully: "When I heard General Gongsun say, I thought he was joking, what happened to you?" I'm sick like this, I wonder if you can understand what I'm saying? ”
She noticed that no matter what she said, even if she mentioned Gongsun Yi intentionally or unintentionally, the person sitting next to her was indifferent, not even a trace of surprise or anger.
Wet hair flows like water in the palm, and Gongsun Yi's appearance appears in her mind from time to time, but every time he sees him, he always has a gloomy face and refuses to be thousands of miles away, even if the imperial brother gives marriage and forcibly ties them together, Gongsun Yi never gives her a smile, but when he mentions his wife Yue Mingchong, he will unconsciously burst into a deep smile, and even, when he told her about bringing Lian Jin back, he even showed a long-lost smile.
She will never be as good as Yue Mingchong, or it can be said that he will fall in love with any woman, but he will not pretend to be her in his heart, as a woman, how can she not be jealous, but the free and casual temperament she has cultivated since she was a child makes her jealous. Gradually, she understood that she and Gongsun Yi were basically two shijie people, and they would not have any intersection in this life, however, the more she enlightened herself like this, the stronger the desire in her heart became.
"Lian girl, what kind of person is Gongsun Yi? He loves his wife so much that he said he would never marry again in his life, but why, all of a sudden, he fell in love with you again? Involuntarily, his mind ran away, and the wooden comb in his hand began to be combed haphazardly.
After a while, she felt as if something was wrapped around her hand, and when she looked down, she hurriedly pulled back her thoughts and sat down beside Yue Mingchong, "I'm sorry Miss Lian, I'm distracted, does it hurt?" ”
Lu Qingya stroked Yue Mingchong's hair with guilt, she was thousands of miles away just now, and accidentally lost a strand of her hair, knowing that she couldn't say anything even if she couldn't bear the pain at this time.
For a while, the guilt and pity in her heart arose, she admired Gongsun Yi Yes, and hoped that Gongsun Yi could understand her heart, but she hoped that Gongsun Yi would accept her out of sincerity, not the pressure of imperial power. What if Gongsun Yi likes Lian Jin? As long as it can make him happy, let his frowning brows stretch, and let him sweep away the depression and gloom that he has been depressed for a long time, who does it, and what does it matter?
"Miss Lian, hurry up and get better, General Gongsun is very worried about your body...... Me too, actually, I really like General Gongsun, it's just that he ......"
Lu Qingya laughed self-deprecatingly, took Yue Mingchong's hand and moved it to her lips, and passed the warm breath to the other party, "There is a big problem with his eyes, he can't always see my existence, he often appears in my dreams, but unfortunately, I can only see his back forever, and when I am in danger, he will go out of his way to save me, but he will never let me see his appearance, you say, are we really not fateful?" I heard that the marriage of mortals is determined by the old man under the moon, is the marriage line between me and Gongsun Yi not tied together? ”
After finishing speaking, he laughed, and said a little shyly: "This is my secret, don't even tell the girl to others." She stretched out her hand and hooked Yue Mingchong's little finger, "We are good friends, after pulling the hook, we have to keep it a secret." ”
There was a knock on the door, and it was Qingyang who came in, she walked in with a tray in a panic, and the moment she looked up, Lu Qingya caught a glimpse of her eyes red and swollen, and both cheeks were red.
"Qingyang, come here."
After sobbing twice, Qingyang walked over as she said, lowering her head and not daring to look directly at Lu Qingya.
"Now I am straightforward, if I say something that makes you sad, I will compensate you."
Qingyang was about to kneel, but was stopped by Lu Qingya, "I heard General Gongsun say, what is your character, I also know that the death of Mrs. Gongsun has nothing to do with you, no matter who says anything in the future, don't take it seriously, no one can stop the rumors, as long as we are innocent, why bother with other people's remarks?" ”
"Princess, in fact, ......" Qingyang was moved to tears, at first she suspected that Princess Gucheng would bully Miss, it turned out that she was too villainous, Princess Gucheng is a heroine, she has been on the battlefield, and she is informal, how can she be the same as a woman in the market?
Lu Qingya wiped away her tears for Qingyang and asked softly, "Do you want to say something?" If someone in the house bullies you, I will make decisions for you. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Qingyang rubbed her eyes and said, "It's okay, the princess is kind to the slave maid, which reminds the slave maid of Miss." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qingya sighed lightly, full of pity, and patted Qingyang, "Mrs. Gongsun is a good person, I think she will definitely be reborn into a good family in the next life, and she will no longer have to endure the torture of illness and will not be bullied again." ”
These heartfelt words are definitely from Lu Qingya's sincerity, the only thing the three souls can do is to peek into people's hearts, what is in people's hearts, whether it is dark or light, Yue Mingchong's three souls can be guessed clearly, with her insight, Lu Qingya is the only one who has no evil thoughts so far, such a frank person, it makes Yue Mingchong extremely embarrassed, compared with Lu Qingya's integrity and purity, she Yue Mingchong is too inferior.
When the porridge was delivered to Yue Mingchong's mouth, it was removed again, and Lu Qingya blew on the porridge in the spoon before slowly handing it over.
"I asked the imperial doctor, your illness is a soul-leaving disease caused by lack of qi, you need to recuperate slowly, avoid eating raw, cold and greasy, when General Gongsun is away, I will help take care of you."
Indeed, as Lu Qingya said, she has been in the General's Mansion for the past few days, and because Princess Gucheng is here, Yu Zhaoyuan and Yu Qiaofeng dare not use it even if they come up with a new trick. The two of them couldn't figure it out, now Princess Gucheng and the still stupid wood were rivals in love, but why, so loving each other, could it be a deliberate illusion?
"Illusion?" Yu Zhaoyuan flattened his mouth, swaggered into the rice shop with a basket, threw the basket on the counter and pulled Yu Qiaofeng to the restaurant on the other side.
The two of them chose a place near the window to sit down, she propped her elbows on the table, hooked her fingers, and smiled mysteriously: "Whether it is an illusion or not, you will know if it is true or not." ”
"Come on again, I'll forget it, I don't know how the princess knew about the last time we tried Lian Jin, what else do you want to try this time? Something happened to me, but it had nothing to do with me. ”
Yu Qiaofeng cleared up the relationship in time, no matter whether Lian Jin was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he didn't want to spend any more time trying to test it, as long as the second brother liked it, whether it was true or false, what did it have to do with him, an outsider. He is not as persistent as Yu Zhaoyuan, seeing that Princess Gucheng takes care of his rival in love, and has the idea of temptation, he swears that he will never follow the trend again and save himself from trouble.
"You're so cowardly, what are you afraid of? The princess took the stupid wood to Yunlai Temple to make incense, let's go back to prepare after shopping, I don't believe that the princess has no selfishness. ”
Yu Qiaofeng held the rice bowl and picked it up on the plate in disgust, "Yunlai Temple is only a hundred zhang away from the General's Mansion, a small temple, and I don't know that the gods and Buddhas in the temple are not spiritual, if you sincerely pray, why is it less than ten miles away from the Fatong Temple?" ”
"You don't know, do you? Now the situation is chaotic, Fatong Temple is located in a remote area, Yunlai Temple is at the door of the house, if something happens, we can also rush to it immediately. Yu Zhaoyuan summoned the shopkeeper and shouted, "What's wrong with your cook?" I don't know if this girl likes to eat spicy mom? Take it back, put more chili peppers, and if the dish is not spicy, I will make it spicy. ”
The shopkeeper had a headache, every time he met this unruly and domineering girl, it must not be peaceful here, but when he heard that this person was a female general who protected the safety of the dynasty, he didn't dare to say more, and retreated with a dish that didn't even move a chopstick.
"Are you good at spicy food?" Yu Qiaofeng said curiously, she didn't think her taste was so heavy before.
Yu Zhaoyuan smiled, "This is for that stupid wood, I asked the cook to put the amount of chili peppers, ordinary people can't stand it, I don't believe that the princess will not be a little proud when she sees her rival in love?" ”
When he was chatting, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and someone ran through the window in a panic.
"What's going on? What do you all run? ”
As soon as the thin young man who was thrown to pieces came back to his senses, his collar was grabbed by Yu Zhaoyuan, "Hurry up, what's going on outside?" ”
"Out, something is wrong...... There are ghosts, no, no, there are, there are monsters! After a scream, the skinny boy broke free from Yu Zhaoyuan, smeared oil on the soles of his feet and fled into the crowd.
Zhen Zhaoyuan, who was stunned on the side, had not yet woken up from the young man's frightened answer. Monster? Jingshi is the place where the aura of heaven and earth gathers, under normal circumstances, there will be demons and monsters anywhere in the world, only Jingshi has a good wind and rain.
Legend has it that three hundred years ago, there was a celestial man who exhausted his divine power to eradicate the demons and monsters in the world, and when he was exhausted, the aura was attached to this land, which was the imperial master of the dynasty who had been peaceful for hundreds of years. Because of the suppression and protection of the heavenly souls of the heavenly people, Jingshi has always been stable and Kangtai, this time, there are monsters appearing, how can she be as alarmist and spread rumors as those ordinary people?
"Could it be true?"
Yu Qiaofeng took Yu Zhaoyuan's hand, and his heart was inexplicably flustered, although he still didn't know what was going on, judging from the sound of the people crying outside, Jingshi must have encountered unprecedented trouble.
"Has King Jin Huai finally made a move?" He muttered, turned his face to look at Yu Zhaoyuan, and saw that her expression was solemn as if she was thinking about countermeasures, and he said, "What should we do now?" ”
"I'm afraid that this has nothing to do with King Jin Huai, haven't you heard, it's a monster, these people are scared like this, it must not be King Jin Huai's army that is making trouble."
As soon as Yu Zhaoyuan's words fell, a group of people rushed in, and before the shopkeeper could speak, someone shouted: "Hurry up, close the door quickly!" Something is wrong! ”
