Chapter 113: The Trouble in the Courtyard 2

"Let go of the baggage that doesn't belong to me?" Xi Cui smiled self-deprecatingly, "I never wanted to willingly carry anything that didn't belong to me, but I was still forced to get to where I am today. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info now you came to tell me to put it down? What did you do earlier? The world that once belonged to me has long been destroyed, is there a way back for me now? You told me to put it down? How to put it? Where do I go from here? ”

"Trust me, it's time for you to have your own life. I'll take care of the rest, and that's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it? Xi Yunjian's hand moved slowly, holding her shoulders, "The VIP building is no longer safe, the people of the third prince have infiltrated it, you still don't want to go there in the future." Since it's a mother's thing, I'll end it. ”

"What? What are you going to do with the people in the VIP building? Xi Cui stared at Xi Yunjian vigilantly, "Their existence didn't hinder the three princes in anything?" You can even help him! Why ......"

"Why? Such a stupid question can actually come out of your mouth......" The corners of Xi Yunjian's mouth raised to tell Xi Cui that he was smiling, but this smile made Xi Cui extremely cold. "And the cold smoke of Ruyi Pavilion, if I were you, I wouldn't go to see her again, because I knew her end but was powerless, and seeing it would only add to the sadness......"

"Cold smoke? What are you going to do with her? Xi Cui broke free of his hand and grabbed his arm with his backhand, "You should know her identity, can you figure out a way?" Whatever she's done, she's ...... to you."

Xi Yunjian slowly broke away from her hand and shook his head, "Why do you think the third prince wants to reveal his identity in front of a woman of her status?" At this point, Han Yan understands better than you can see, after the third prince left last night, she sent someone to find me. I believe everything you say, of course I understand her affection for me, but I can only live up to it...... She also made the most suitable choice, and she also asked me to tell you that in the future, Ruyi Pavilion asked you not to go again......"

"......" Xi Cui was speechless, the plea was obviously redundant, Han Yan had already made a choice, just looking at Xi Yunjian's current appearance, he should guess what choice she made. Xi Cui's mind suddenly went blank, she really wanted to calm down and think of a way, she couldn't really close her eyes and wait for her death without doing anything, right? But why is your mind like it's empty, aren't you very smart on weekdays? Why, why? Xi Cui hit her head like crazy, Xi Yunjian hurriedly stepped forward to pull her, but was separated by Lixiang drawing her sword and couldn't get close. Lingxiang grabbed Xi Cui's hands, pressed Xi Cui in her arms, and slowly moved in the direction of the carriage. Lixiang held the sword and retreated step by step, not allowing Xi Yunjian a chance to get closer.

Duan San came out of nowhere, snatched Xi Cui from Lingxiang's arms, and strode forward with her in his arms. Xi Cui raised his eyes and saw that it was Duan San, and his tears immediately poured down like a river that had burst the embankment. Duan San didn't speak, put her in gently, and then watched Lingxiang Lixiang follow in, then got into the car, raised the horsewhip and drove away.

When the carriage drove in front of Xi Yunjian, Duan San glanced back at Xi Yunjian, "Childe, I'll send Xi Cui off." ”

Xi Yunjian didn't speak, turned around and entered the gate.

The person sent by the princess to find Xi Cui came back and said that Xi Cui was not found, and the princess was naturally anxious, and when she heard the report from outside that Xi Cui was back, she hurriedly carried her skirt and came over. But as soon as she saw Xi Cui's appearance, she couldn't say a word of the words she had prepared, because Xi Cui's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at the front emptyly, like a corpse that had lost its soul. Lingxiang followed behind Lixiang, Lixiang carried Xi Cui on her back, and the three of them entered the door like this. Seeing the princess Lingxiang Lixiang hurriedly saluted, but Xi Cui on Lixiang's back did not react at all.

The princess didn't say anything, and watched as the three of them walked past her towards Yufeng's courtyard. Suddenly, she thought of Yu Feng's appearance this morning, and was afraid that they would make trouble again, so she hurriedly ran over.

When Lixiang carried Xi Cui into the door, Yu Feng was reading in the study, and when he heard another movement outside, he knew that Xi Cui was back and hurriedly opened the door and came out.

As soon as he saw that Xi Cui was being carried back, he thought she was injured, so he immediately changed his face, chased after them and picked up Xi Cui, and said angrily, "What happened?" Aren't you accompanying the princess? Why did she get hurt? ”

Lingxiang Lixiang hurriedly knelt down, "Princess Shizi, you are not injured...... It's hard to say what happened to the slaves and maids, so let's wait for the princess to wake up and tell you in person. ”

"No injuries?" Only then did Yu Feng put Xi Cui down, checked up and down, and made sure that he was really not injured, so he put his mind at ease, "It's okay if you're not injured, you guys go back first." ”

After speaking, he helped Xi Cui into the house.

When the princess arrived, she happened to see this scene, and made sure that they didn't make trouble, so she left with confidence.

Returning to the room and helping Xi Cui sit on the bed, Yu Feng found that Xi Cui seemed to be delirious. He held Xi Cui's hand and checked the pulse, the pulse seemed normal, why did Xi Cui look like this? Xi Cui didn't even get a response after calling three times, so Yu Feng panicked and hurriedly called someone to ask the doctor to come over.

Lingxiang Lixiang kept kneeling outside and didn't dare to leave, and when she heard that she was looking for a doctor inside, she was about to invite her, but she was stopped by Yufeng. "Have you been following the princess today?"

The two nodded.

"Do you know who she's seen? What happened? Yu Feng then asked.

Lingxiang Lixiang looked at each other, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Looking at their appearance, it seems that they don't dare to tell themselves privately, knowing the rules of the VIP building, Yu Feng can't force them, so he has to wait for the doctor to come.

After the doctor came to see it, he only said that he couldn't find the cause, Yufeng was furious, but he found several doctors in succession and said the same thing. After a few tosses, it was the middle of the night, during which Xi Cui vomited once, but he still didn't say anything, and he refused to close his eyes to sleep, just staring at him in a daze.

stayed up like this until the second day, Princess Huali's banquet, Xi Cui seemed to be unable to go. Originally, no male guests were invited to the banquet, and Yu Feng resigned from other things and stayed in the mansion to take care of Xi Cui.

Princess Li had no choice but to go to the other courtyard alone.

About just after noon, Princess Li suddenly appeared in front of Yu Feng, as if something urgent had happened, and pulled Yu Feng to go outside.

When she got outside, she looked at Xi Cui inside, "Is it still like that?" ”

Yu Feng nodded.

The princess pondered for a moment, sat down, and pointed to the chair next to her to ask Yu Feng to sit down as well, "There is an accident in the other courtyard, I think the third prince is finished this time......"

"Why did the concubine say this?" As soon as he heard that it was related to the three princes, Yu Feng couldn't help but ask.

The princess told the story of the other courtyard today. It turned out that the emperor and the empress were unable to attend the banquet on time because of the delay in the palace, so they sent someone to inform them not to wait for them to start first. Originally, they were all women, and the scene was quite passable, but after Lao Xuefen appeared, she worked against Huali everywhere, and the two of them finally flipped the table. As a result, the clothes of the two people were dirty, so they each took their maids to the back to change their clothes. I didn't know that I didn't see anyone back for a long time, so everyone went to look for it. Finally, she finally found Lao Xuefen in a wing room in the East Cross Courtyard, and when she found her, she seemed to have been drugged, and she actually stripped naked and sang and danced in the room. On the other side, Princess Huali was even worse, she was on the bed in her room, and she seemed to have been drugged, and she was lying with the third prince. When the emperor and queen arrived, there was chaos inside, Princess Huali couldn't say anything clearly when she cried, but the third prince kept lying still, it is said that he didn't know how much wine he drank, and it was useless to pour two bowls of sobering soup.

The emperor was angry at that time, and directly ordered someone to put the three princes in prison, and when the princess came back, Princess Chaoyang was kneeling in the courtyard to intercede for the three princes, but the emperor did not seem to have any intention of retracting his will.

Yu Feng just smiled after hearing this, and didn't say anything more. But he knew in his heart that the three princes had succeeded, and Princess Huali could only marry the three princes.

Xi Cui, who was lying on the bed, had actually woken up a long time ago, and she heard what was said outside clearly. In the end, it was still according to Qi Yu's plan, although he reminded Huali, but obviously Huali was not obedient. Maybe this is fate, how can a mortal like her be easily changed?

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes, and a drop of Yan Lie slid down her cheek and landed on the pillow.

What happened next revealed a series of questions in Xi Cui's heart.

After the third prince was imprisoned, he did not intercede with the emperor, but directly confessed his guilt and was willing to apologize with death. But the emperor pressed the matter without interrogation.

And those old ministers who have been following the three princes did not come forward at this time, but the old lady resigned, which means that after experiencing Han Bin's incident, his health is not as good as day by day, and he may not be able to continue to assume the duties of the prince, so he implores the emperor to allow him to return to his hometown. In addition, as an old minister, he has been in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory for many years, and finally made a request to implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the humiliation of Princess Huali by the third prince.

The emperor could only agree to such a request from the Taishi, but after all, it involved the royal family, and he had to find someone he really trusted to investigate. So this matter was handed over to Qi Yu.

And Qi Yu secretly reported the results to the emperor within three days. According to Qi Yu's investigation, the banquet itself does not invite male guests, but according to the arrangement of the queen's mother, it is Uncle Lao's personal guard who is responsible for security and defense this time. And Lao Xuefen seems to have had a holiday with Princess Huali for a long time, so she said that she mobilized her brother Lao Keqin to help take revenge, instigated Lao Keqin to help arrange a few men to come in, and bought banned drugs on the black market in advance to ruin Princess Huali's reputation. Just in case, Lao Keqin brought in the drunken and unconscious third prince, the purpose of which was to find a scapegoat once the matter was revealed. As for what went wrong in the middle, Lao Xuefen was also tricked, so I can't find out. At the same time, he also sent evidence that Lao Xuefen bought medicine on the black market, as well as the personal guards of Uncle Lao who saw Lao Keqin take the man into the other courtyard.

The evidence in front of him could not be believed by the emperor, and the emperor naturally gritted his teeth with hatred for the brothers and sisters of the Lao family who ruined his good deeds. Uncle Lao Guo was summoned to the palace overnight.

Seeing these evidences, Uncle Lao Guo suddenly sat on the ground with weak legs, what to do with them Although the emperor did not say, but Uncle Lao's heart has begun to beat the drum, and he knows very well what his killing intent is like after raising the emperor for so many years. The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, what should he do?

The matter has been investigated, but the emperor still does not punish or release the three princes, and the emperor does not deal with the Lao brothers and sisters.

After experiencing Han Bin's incident last time, Uncle Lao Guo didn't dare to relax his vigilance this time, because he already knew that the later the emperor attacked, the more terrible what was about to happen.

Lao Keqin knew that after this incident, his mind was even more confused, and he was already secretly planning to escape. But he was originally a vicious person, and even if he was fleeing, he wanted to get what he longed for for a long time and never got it. That's Princess Chaoyang! It's a pity that he sneaked into the princess's mansion with people and was taken down by Liu Chen and the Praetorian Guards before he took a few steps, and the person who ordered the Praetorian Guards to guard the princess's mansion was the queen.

Besides, the three princes in prison are said to have been pouring alcohol desperately, drunk and dreaming all day long, and repeatedly muttering about a woman named Hanyan in his mouth. And this woman called Hanyan is the famous Oiran of Ruyi Pavilion, it is said that the three princes have been drinking and having fun in Hanyan's room since they entered Beijing, but when Hanyan knew the identity of the three princes, he actually drove the three princes out of Ruyi Pavilion, and vowed never to see him again. The reason is that this girl has a high character, and she feels that her status is low and she is not worthy of the third prince, and she doesn't want to tarnish the reputation of the third prince. But the third prince was so affectionate to Hanyan that he refused to leave, and in desperation, Hanyan committed suicide in the room. Since then, the third prince has begun to **** buy drunk in his room, and now he is in prison, he is still just thinking about the Hanyan girl, and even begged the jailer to kill him when he was drunk, so that he could see Hanyan. It seems that he seems to hate his status as a prince.

And these news naturally reached the emperor's ears in detail, and soon, the emperor ordered the jailers to watch the three princes closely, so as not to make any mistakes, this is to save the lives of the three princes. On the other hand, after Hua Li woke up from the fright, she pestered Prince Baituo and General Deng to ask them to take him into the palace to meet the emperor, saying that he wanted the emperor to be his own decision. Baituo meant that since this kind of thing had happened, he simply let the third prince marry Huali, and the emperor did not nod, but he did not shake his head. He still has to press this matter.

And Xi Cui has been lying on the bed and not caring about anything, not asking anything, not talking, Yu Feng has started to get busy again, and he has hardly seen anyone else in the past few days. The princess would come and sit every day, talk some gossip and leave, and the days passed quickly.

Rui Niang came to see Xi Cui once, said something, and told her that the shops of the Yang family had been taken back, and now she was running them, and she also found some old friends from the past, but they didn't recognize her. Duan San has never returned to the twilight moon since he followed Xi Yunjian, and Huanhuan always can't see anyone when he goes to find him. The child can already call her mother, but she still hasn't figured out what to name the child.

The VIP building is really gone, even Rui Niang doesn't know what's going on, she didn't go for three days, and when she went again, she found that the signboard had changed, and all the people inside had changed, and the previous shopkeeper didn't know where to go.

Zhang Xun and the white fat man also seem to have encountered trouble, they can't find Xi Cui, they can only find Rui Niang, but Rui Niang doesn't know what happened, but Wang Yonglin called them away from the twilight moon and didn't know what to tell them, these two people never came to Rui Niang again.

Rui Niang said these things and left.

After she left, Xi Cui sat up and frightened Ling Xiang and Li Xiang. They hurriedly ran over and asked Xi Cui what she wanted to eat and drink while checking Xi Cui's pulse.

Xi Cui got out of bed silently, walked to the cabinet behind the bed, took out a key from his arms, opened it, took out a box from it, and walked to Lingxiang with the box in his hand, "Send this thing to the other courtyard and give it to General Deng, just say it's his thing, and now it's all back to him." ”

Lingxiang took the box and left, Xi Cui asked Lixiang to help her wash up and ask for something to eat. When the princess heard that she was awake, she hurriedly ran over, and when she saw that she was eating, she was finally relieved. She only thought that Xi Cui was angry because Yu Feng didn't return all night, and she was angry until now, and when she saw that she had almost eaten, she opened her mouth to comfort, "You kid, I only know that you are stubborn, I didn't expect you to be a fool!" What's the one who can't get over it, and can still be angry with yourself like this? Yu Feng was born to me, I can't know what kind of character he is, he has absolutely no second heart for you! How can there be a husband and wife who don't bump and bump, and when their teeth bite their lips. If you want to open up something in the future, you will be angry at a young age, and your body is not worth it! Look at the way you've been doing these days, I'm scared of all the mothers......"

"Concubine Lao is worried, it's Xi Cui's, isn't it......" Xi Cui hurriedly saluted the princess. The princess hurriedly helped her, "I've been lying on the bed for so many days, my movements are still slowing down, don't make any more mistakes......"

Xi Cui smiled and sat down with the princess.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked again, and Yu Feng came back, and the princess left, and before leaving, she reminded Yu Feng not to let Xi Cui be too tired, in the end, she had just woken up, and she couldn't be careless.

After sending off the princess, Yu Feng sat down in front of Xi Cui, and Xi Cui reached out to comb the fine hair on his sideburns, only to find that there was a slight scar on his neck. "What's hurt? Who did you fight with? ”

Yu Feng nodded, "Well, I went to the other courtyard and met Xi Yunjian......"

"Who is more seriously injured?" Xi Cui's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Yu Feng and asked.

Yu Feng didn't understand what she meant for a while, and said, "I beat him to the point where he vomited blood, it should be considered that he was seriously injured." But that's fine, he's wearing a mask all the time anyway, and no one can see it. ”

Xi Cui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's fine, if you suffer a loss, then wouldn't I be very faceless?" You must know that I will only be left with you in the future, and my rise and fall of honor and disgrace will all be placed on you alone! You have to fight for it! ”

Yu Feng hugged her into his arms with a smile and said softly, "In the future, I will protect you......"

At this moment, Lingxiang came back, but he was holding another box in his hand, Yu Feng didn't know the origin of this box, so he looked at Xi Cui. Xi Cui said with a smile, "Xi Yunjian gave it, I guess it must contain a lot of valuable things, it can be regarded as compensation for everything I have done!" As he spoke, he opened the box, and sure enough, there were some title deeds inside, and all of them were in good locations. (To be continued.) )
