Chapter 706: Fear
Lan Xi nodded, understanding that Geng Xiwu was going to take the opportunity to test the new emperor's attitude towards the Geng family, so he could make the next arrangements. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is not a bad time.
"Alright. I'll take care of these things, so you don't have to worry about it! Don't think about it now, it's all about going back and getting some sleep. ”
This is what it means to shut up Lan Xi. But he came out in a hurry, and he wanted to chase people, but he didn't bring a carriage. In the end, he couldn't, Geng Xiwu had to hug Lanxi on the horse's back, but in this way, he didn't dare to gallop like he did when he came.
Therefore, I had to deliberately let Changfeng and the two guards take the first step and report back to the house, so as not to worry about Mrs. Geng and Mother Qin. They slowed down and slowly headed home.
Leaning on Geng Xiwu's arms, Lan Xi only felt unusually relieved, the sun was not as strong as at noon, the clouds covered most of the daylight, and a cool breeze blew in the field, blowing away a little stuffy heat in early summer, but it made Lan Xi a little drowsy.
Under Geng Xiwu's control, the horse walked slowly and steadily, and after a while, Lan Xi really fell asleep.
This sleep is to sleep very deeply, that is, kneeling, was carefully carried into the house by Geng Xiwu, and when she was sent to the bed to lie down, she did not wake up, but just sighed, tossed and turned on the pillow for a while, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already the time when the night was falling, and I opened my eyes in a daze and began to come, but I saw the person sitting next to the pillow in the night, a pair of eyes, staring at her for a moment, I don't know what I was thinking, and the eyes like the deep sea in the dark night seemed unusually deep.
Lan Xi covered her lips and yawned, looked out at the sky, and knew that the hour was not early, so she couldn't help asking, "Why don't you sleep?" ”
Geng Xiwu shook his head, a light in the corner of the wall was like a bean, which couldn't reflect the look on his face, he just replied in a low voice, "I can't sleep." ”
Can't sleep? He got up so early today, went through all these things, and ran around all day, isn't he tired? Nature is impossible! But I was tired but couldn't sleep...... Lan Xihu frowned suspiciously.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'll sleep with you when I'm sleepy, and I'll just guard you."
Lan Xi listened, but his eyes flashed, he moved his body in, patted the vacant seat next to him, and said, "After sleeping for a while, I'm not sleepy, you lie down, let's talk together, okay?" ”
Geng Xiwu hesitated slightly, but finally lay down. As he had done before, as soon as he lay down, Lan Xi rolled into his arms, his hands clasped tightly behind his waist, and his face buried in his broad chest. Half an hour later, her voice muffled through his chest, "Today...... You're freaking out, aren't you? ”
This was what he had asked her earlier, but now, in the blink of an eye, she asked him again.
But such a fluttering question made Geng Xiwu stiffen, and the hand that was originally caressing the back of her head and gently running her hair also stopped. Oh, yes! Fear! How not to be afraid? In his life, even in the face of thousands of troops, he can remain silent, but only one person can make him lose his calm and composure in an instant, and let the panic dominate.
Even if she was lying by his side safe and sound at this time, but when he thought about it, he still had palpitations, how could he close his eyes? No! You can't close your eyes, you have to look at her in your eyes and stay by your side to feel at ease.
He consciously hid it well, but he didn't want to, he couldn't hide it from her eyes.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry, ...... today It's me who was too careless, and I caught the word of others and made you worried. Lan Xi's voice was still a little muffled. Now that I think about it, today's events are full of coincidences, and it's too much of a coincidence. First of all, the mud pit on the official road that let the carriage fall, the season has entered the summer, but it has not rained in the past few days, and the sun is big, how can there be such a big pit on the road for no reason? There are still good people who don't die, and Mrs. Geng's carriage is stuck in it and can't get out? Again, Zhao Yunfang and Shen Yan quarreled with each other, and said that they wanted to do it, she was afraid that things would make a big deal, so she could only send Chang Rou, who knew some fists and feet around her, and the others, even if Qin's mother was not left in the hall by her, she was the same as Fangcao, but they were all weak women, so why be afraid?
"How can I blame you for today's events? I didn't think about it more and more wrong on the way, and it just so happened that the secret sentinel sent back a message to stare at the Pingwang Mansion, and I realized it. If it's a little later, then I'm really ...... Never forgive myself. Geng Xiwu's tone was a little hoarse, and his heart was full of fear.
It's just these things, but it's not something that Zhao Yu can arrange alone, right? Lan Xi's eyes flashed, "There are Zhao Yu's accomplices in our house?" ”
Geng Xiwu didn't speak, silently rubbing the top of Lanxi's hair.
"Is it Shen Yanshu?" Now that I think about it, there is no one else but her.
"Hmm." Geng Xiwu sighed and nodded, "It was my grandmother's self-examination, she couldn't argue with it, she already admitted it." She connected with Zhao Yu's people during the funeral, and at that time, today's situation was decided. ”
I see. No wonder she's been going on so hard these days. Lanxi thought that because the Shen family was crazy and she had no backer, she was smart enough to clamp her tail and be a man, but it turned out that people had already sharpened their knives and were waiting for her!
"And ...... The killers who chased me at Xiangguo Temple were people she sent, right? Lan Xi had long suspected that at that time, her marriage with Geng Xiwu had been decided, and if she was killed, but offending the Geng family and the Lan family at the same time, and even the Zhenwu Emperor who gave the marriage, it would really outweigh the losses. Except for Shen Yanshu, who is bent on marrying Geng Xiwu, she really can't think of anyone else.
Later, Geng Xiwu's move of intervening in Geng Xikai's marriage made Lan Xi even more affirmative.
I haven't said it because Shen Yanshu also married into the Geng family after all, and some things, if they are broken, it will hurt everyone, so why is it so rare to be confused?
This time, Geng Xiwu did not answer directly. Just raised his hand and gently brushed the messy hair on her forehead behind her ear, "Don't worry! This time, my grandmother was ruthless and sent her to the family temple. ”
The family temple of the Geng family, on a low hill on the outskirts of the city, enshrines the ancestors of the Geng family for generations, it is a place of pure suffering, if there is no accident, Shen Yanshu goes, there is indeed no possibility of being a demon.
Lan Xi was also relieved and nodded. After the family affairs were straightened out, Lan Xi turned to care about things outside the mansion. "You're going to the palace tomorrow to plead guilty?"
Geng Xiwu nodded, "I'm going to go this way." ”
"Discussed with Grandmother?" Old Madam Geng is an extremely wise person, this matter, in the final analysis, is related to the entire Geng family, so it is natural to listen to her opinion.
Geng Xiwu nodded silently.
This is what he means when he and Mrs. Geng reach an agreement.
"I don't know, what will the Holy One do?" Lan Xi was a little worried.
Geng Xiwu stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, "I said, you don't have to worry about these things." Go to sleep! ”
