Chapter Fifty-Nine: Yu Feng Returns to Beijing
Duan San stood beside Xi Cui but couldn't help Xi Cui up in person, because Xi Cui at this moment was playing Wang Shaoyan's wife Xi Yunting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Shaoyan didn't have the courage to follow Xi Cui all the way like Duan San, he only dared to stand guard near Sun's house, waiting for everything to end and personally take Xi Cui away.
Finally, he appeared, followed behind Duan San, walked straight to Xi Cui who fell to the ground, didn't look at anyone, carefully picked up Xi Cui, and walked out of the gate of the Sun family.
The Wang family's car gradually moved away, and the voices behind him began to rise, and everyone realized that everyone had been silent since just now......
Princess Li glanced at the distant Wang family's car, and felt very uncomfortable. This feeling started as soon as Wang Shaoyan appeared, especially when she saw Wang Shaoyan hugging Xi Cui, it was like something she had taken a fancy to, but she accidentally hesitated and was bought by someone else.
The farce of the Sun family continues.
On the other side, the Laojia Annex.
Lao Keqin put his foot on a man in black with blood on the corner of his mouth, "You ****** are all a bunch of rubbish!" On weekdays, when I get benefits from my lord, one is more beautiful than the other, but when I really need you? All of them became sake bags and rice bags! What did you say before? How did you reply to your grandfather now? He scolded loudly as he straightened his clothes, his narrow eyes wide as if he were in a hurry.
"You can't blame us for this. We found someone to arrange it before, and the people sent by the emperor to help the Wang family had already collected our money and promised to cooperate with us when the time came. Master, this thing is very strange! In the past, the people we were looking for were all reliable, and there had never been such a problem. The man in black carefully observed Lao Keqin's face as he spoke, and sure enough, he was relieved to see that his face softened, as if he was thinking about something.
"Who did you say was the eunuch who came out on this errand this time?" Lao Keqin suddenly asked.
"We haven't seen each other before, it's quite young, wearing a red official uniform, and it will be a few strokes." The man in black quickly replied.
Lao Keqin fumbled his fingers, squinted his eyes and thought about it, "The red official uniform is quite young...... Haven't you seen it? He muttered for a long time, then turned to them and said, "I will investigate this matter, and you go down first." ”
"Yes!" Several people disappeared at once.
Lao Keqin also left the courtyard after they left, he wanted to talk about this matter with his father, it seems that the person they arranged in the palace before has been discovered, and it is better to ask his father to enter the palace to explore the emperor's tone as soon as possible.
Xi Cui returned to Wang's house, Wang Shaoyan didn't dare to let Yun Ting see it, the doctor had already prepared it, and when he saw someone hurrying up to take the pulse and take the medicine, even Huan Huanxi came over to help.
Wang Shangshu felt a little empty in his heart, and wanted to come over to see Xi Cui's injuries but felt that he was very shameless to do so, so he asked a few words when he met Wang Shaoyan.
Xi Cui was in a coma for two days, and when she woke up, she found that her knees were wrapped in a bulging bag, and she couldn't bend her legs at all. Rui Niang and Qi's mother have been taking care of them all the time, and they have been hiding from Yun Ting.
During this time, the old lady sent Mother Mu over to see it, but Xi Cui didn't wake up, and Mother Mu didn't say anything.
Xi Cui was lying on the bed, thinking about what had happened recently, fortunately she was still alive, and fortunately Yun Ting was also alive.
Knowing that Xi Cui was awake, Duan San finally showed up, and when he appeared, Xi Cui was reaching for a bowl on the round stool next to the bed. Duan San handed the bowl to Xi Cui, she smiled as she wished, took a sip of the bowl and asked Qi's mother to make soup for her. "I thought you were gone......"
"Why should I go?" Duan San watched her take a few sips, took the bowl and put it back in its place.
"You came to me for Xi Yunjian, but now that he is gone, it won't help if you continue to stay with me, right?" Xi Cui wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Duan San.
"Do you believe that Xi Yunjian will do treason with the enemy?" Duan San stared at Xi Cui's eyes, wanting to see what he was expecting.
Xi Cui shook her head, although she was very disappointed in Xi Yunjian because of Qin Niang's matter, but she still knew what kind of person Xi Yunjian was, collaborating with the enemy and treason? Xi Yunjian would never do something like that!
Duan San smiled with satisfaction, "So he must have been framed!" I want to help him clear his grievances, return his innocence, and return the innocence of Huai'an Houfu! ”
Xi Cui was really shocked when he heard him say this, when will he Duan San be able to investigate the case? Why didn't she know that Duan San was still a person who was good at catching clues? Who is the thick-branched, bold and atmospheric Duan San I knew before?
Duan San was embarrassed by Xi Cui, and quickly explained, "I know that I am a rough person, and I will definitely not be able to do such a thing, so I decided to continue to stay by your side to protect you." You're so smart and capable, you must have a way to find out the truth! ”
Oh...... That's the idea. Xi Cui glanced at Duan San, what about this matter during this time? But after thinking about it again, what Duan San said was very reasonable, this matter was clearly a bureau that had been arranged in advance, Xi Yunjian and the Hou Mansion were all outcasts among them, and she wanted to know what the person who laid out the layout wanted to save in the end.
It's a pity that she is trapped in the Wang family, and to investigate these things, she must first have an identity that is not controlled by others, and this identity now seems to be obviously a fool's dream. The Hou Mansion is gone, and her deed of sale will be burned with it, and she may not be able to redeem herself in this life...... Or can she find a way to create a new identity for herself, and from then on, please say goodbye to the identity of a slave? But it is difficult for everyone in the Wang family to know her identity, and if someone comes up with her deed of sale, how can she convince the public? She has too many things to worry about now, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the identity of the big treasurer.
When there is no way to retreat, he can only bury his head and forge ahead, Xi Cui has no choice. She may not be able to leave the Wang family, in this case, she can only change Yun Ting's status in the Wang family as much as possible, although she may not be able to turn the Wang family's back house into Yun Ting's house, at least she can't let the Wang family want to manipulate her at will. As for the affairs of the Hou Mansion, she also knows that it is not something that can be found out overnight, so she can only take care of the present first, and long-term things need to be long-term.
The words were divided into two sides, and at the same time that Xi Cui was recuperating from his injury, Nangong Yufeng was already on his way back to Beijing. The soldiers left their hometowns to fight for several months, and it was rare to triumph, and naturally they returned to their hearts like arrows, and they were eager to travel day and night. Leading such a group of people to march, the team marched very fast, and in less than half a month, they had already reached a small city a hundred miles away from the capital. After arranging for the army to rest on the spot, Nangong Yufeng found a few trustworthy young generals to explain a few words, and then borrowed a fast horse from a local official, changed into a disguise, and went on the road alone.
The scenery along the way is no longer the desolation of everything when leaving, a state of silence, now he is stepping on the feet of the iron hooves of the horse is the grass, the line is in a hurry to pass by the flowers in full bloom, although the north in the spring of March is not as amazing as the south, but also has a unique style when the wind and the sun are beautiful.
Running non-stop from dark to dawn, and then from dawn to dusk, Nangong Yufeng finally arrived at the city gate.
Now the horse could no longer run, and as soon as he stopped, the horse lay on the ground. In the end, it is not a war horse, and it has not suffered anything, so it has been exhausted after running like this for a day. Nangong Yufeng pulled it a few times and saw that it couldn't move at all, so he simply dropped the horse rope and walked into the city by himself. He left a group of men circling around his horse behind him, but he didn't even look at it.
The main street of the capital has not changed much, as if the emperor has changed, and the deep winter that has experienced a blizzard has no effect on these blue bricks and blue tiles, and they are still silently hanging red lanterns, calmly looking at the bustling crowd.
At this moment, Nangong Yufeng's face was full of stubble, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, his messy hairstyle and robes, coupled with the killing aura that had just come down from the battlefield and had not yet completely subsided, although he just stood there and didn't speak, the crowd around him couldn't help but stay away and didn't dare to approach easily.
He passed by the teahouse he used to care for, and the guy who came up to greet him politely when he saw him from afar actually looked at him for a long time and didn't recognize him. He then continued along the street in front of the teahouse, and then turned into a quiet alley. Continuing along the alley, less than two hundred paces away, he saw two stone lions in front of the gate of the Huai'an Hou Mansion.
The gate behind them was still there, although the rust was mottled, it still completely blocked his view, and the plaque of the Huai'an Hou Mansion hung crookedly under the corridor, crumbling. He took a few steps back, and saw the courtyard walls on either side of the gate, standing bare, the houses inside were long gone, and all that came into view were a few smoky black rafters, and some broken bricks and tiles left over from the burning.
Xi Yunjian's words before he died suddenly appeared in his ears, "The Hou Mansion is over, the worst result is that none of them can escape, they will all die, don't go and see it!" It's just a matter of adding sadness...... "He wasn't wrong, it turned out that all this was a designed game from beginning to end." It turns out that each of them is just a pawn in the hands of others...... But Xi Yunjian didn't explain clearly who arranged this bureau, and why did he do such a bureau?
He reached out and touched his arms, Xi Yunjian gave him that thing before he died, he thought it was some important evidence, but it turned out to be Xi Cui's deed of sale. It seems that his brother really cares about Xi Cui, otherwise he wouldn't be worried about it until he died. Thinking of the cause of Xi Yunjian's death, Nangong Yufeng clenched his fists...... Although he already knew at that time that the Hou Mansion was annihilated and that dying was his only way out, in the end, his death was still related to himself, which was owed by his Nangong Yufeng to Xi Yunjian, and he had to pay it back.
Xi Cui...... I wonder what happened to this girl? Did she know that Xi Yunjian had handed her over to him in the end?
He really wanted to go to the Wang family to see Xi Cui right away, but he was a little hesitant, he was probably not able to enter the gate of the Wang family at all now, right? It's better to go back to the palace to see your father and mother first, and then clean up by the way, he looks like a beggar at first glance.
Before he could turn around, a beggar ran towards him, as if he was afraid that his nest would be occupied by him, and scolded himself as he ran, and sounded like a woman.
If it was a man, Nangong Yufeng would definitely grab and beat him, but when he heard that it was a woman, he didn't want to care. So he hastened his pace and left the place, and the provincial got entangled with a female beggar.
The Liwang Mansion was in the other direction of the capital, and it was already dark when Nangong Yufeng walked to the door on foot. Standing at the gate of the palace, the familiar feeling instantly made him excited, and he ran up the steps without waiting for him to take a few steps, and the little guy standing at the door immediately ran over to block in front of him, with an angry face on his face, "You beggar is so bold!" Liwang's Mansion is also something you can enter casually? ”
"Beggar!" Nangong Yufeng looked at his body. Because of his unkempt appearance, he was blocked at the door by his own servants, and this was the first time for him. couldn't help but feel funny, so he smiled and straightened his clothes, standing up straight, "Look clearly, who am I?" ”
The little guy took a closer look, and the anger on his face became even stronger, "Stinky beggar, you didn't beat you, you still dare to play tricks!" Show me who you are! I think you're looking for death! As he spoke, he picked up the stick and was about to greet Nangong Yufeng.
Nangong Yufeng was really a little tired, too lazy to entangle with him, knocked his stick down, and a dodge crossed him to the threshold, but soon he was entangled by another little guy, the man shouted while pulling him, "Come on, there is a beggar beating people in front of the palace......
Soon the housekeeper rushed out of it with more than a dozen courtyards, and at this time, Nangong Yufeng had already left the two little servants aside and entered the palace for a long time.
The housekeeper shouted, and more than a dozen courtyards immediately dispersed to surround Nangong Yufeng.
Nangong Yufeng was so tired that he glanced at everyone and shouted in a tired voice, "Butler, don't you really recognize who I am?" ”
The housekeeper immediately shuddered when he heard Shi Shizi's voice, and cautiously leaned over and lifted his hair covering his face, seeing that it was really Shizi. Dengshi was frightened and quickly knelt down, "The prince is back!" You are back, the princess, and the princess has been talking about it for the past few days...... It's all these minions who don't have long eyes, and the old slaves must take care of them when they turn around......"
"Okay, let's talk about these words later, get me some food first, I haven't even had time to drink saliva after a day and a night's journey." Wang Shaoyan really didn't have the patience to wait for him to finish talking nonsense, and hurriedly walked to his yard, what he wanted to do most now was to take a hot bath, clean up and then eat a comfortable meal, and put down his body to sleep.
The butler got up after listening to his footsteps and pointed to the two little guys at the door, "You two are really ...... You don't know what the temper of our prince is, wash your ass and wait, a meal is indispensable! After the housekeeper scolded them, they hurriedly followed Nangong Yufeng's footsteps and walked inside, instructing the people around them as they walked, "You, go and tell the kitchen to prepare some digestible hot dishes and send them to the prince, you hurry up and inform the princess that the prince is back, and you, hurry up and ask someone to prepare hot water for the prince...... Wait, you're not very good at talking, so I'm going to serve the prince......"
The two little guys at the door touched their buttocks and watched the housekeeper disappear with a group of people, they were really wronged. In the past, the prince only wore snow-white clothes, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest stain, but the one in front of him was completely different from his previous style. They haven't been serving by the side of the prince, they have seen him from a distance a few times before, and even the work of guarding the door was only started after the prince set out on the expedition. How can they recognize the prince?
Nangong Yufeng returned to the room with his front foot, and the housekeeper came in with hot water on his back foot. When he was taking a bath, several little maids had already prepared a change of clothes, and the colors and styles were all the ones he was used to wearing before. Nangong Yufeng, who came out of the ear room, saw that the people who served him had become a few little girls, and his face changed. Or the housekeeper knew his temper and knew that he was not used to being served by maids, so he asked a few girls to step down, and personally served him to get dressed and shaved. "Lord Shizi, you came back early, we didn't have time to arrange, didn't the little guys who served you before follow you out? It will not be easy to find a few more people who are easy to use, and the princess means to wait for you to come back and pick a few from the mansion herself. ”
"Hmm......" Nangong Yufeng didn't say much, and came to the front hall after cleaning up.
The princess and princess were already waiting there, and when they saw him, the two of them quickly got up from the chair, and the prince was fine, his eyes were a little hot, and his expression was very excited, but he still maintained his manners. But the princess was different, she ran over directly, took Nangong Yufeng's hand and looked up and down carefully, eager to count every hair on his head. He breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there were no visible scars on his body. Nangong Yufeng heard her breathing relax a little, thinking that he could finally sit down to eat, but who knew that the princess's hand turned to his face again, and complained while stroking, "Lost weight...... It doesn't feel as smooth to the touch as it used to be. I heard a report from someone that when you came back, you didn't even recognize the guy at the door...... My poor son, why do you say this? We're so good, it's also a dignified royal mansion, what kind of hussar general, we don't have much, a lot more......" He cried as he spoke.
Nangong Yufeng shook his head helplessly, helped his mother to sit down, and let her cry on the side, but he grabbed his chopsticks and gobbled up the bowl with his bowl. Seeing this, Princess Li hurriedly served the vegetables, and whispered while adding, "Eat slowly, don't choke...... How long has it been since this kid had a solid meal? "I'm going to cry again.
Lord Li pushed her, "Look at you, the child is so easy to come back, do you want to make him uncomfortable even eating?" ”
The princess thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and wiped away her tears...... (To be continued.) )
