Chapter 78: A Woman's Heart (1)
Chang'an at sunset, the afterglow is reflected.
The slanting sun sprinkled the golden glow all over every inch of bricks and tiles in Chang'an City, and under the bricks and tiles, ordinary people returned day and night, rushing for their livelihood. The cries of hawking, laughter, scolding, and bargaining along the street are intertwined, like browned shortbread baked in the golden rays of light, fragrant and real.
Zhao Xing likes this kind of scene, which reminds her of a long time ago, every time she eats supper on Xianxia Road after work, the scene of ** point, but Shanghai is still full of lights, many people are still like her, just finished a busy day's trip, the night is slightly cool, under the thousands of bright lights, in the torrent of thousands of rubbing shoulders, a qiΔ beauty is not as hot and simple food as the mouth.
Her heart warmed, and she stopped at a snack stall and picked out some licorice preserves, wanting to moisten Liu's throat, but he seemed to have a bad cough last time.
Outside the Huofu Courtyard, Wei Qing's people were still waiting there.
Walking into the courtyard, she smiled at the hot spring, and threw him a pack of delicious food in her arms, he didn't say a word, waved his long sword, and brushed a few times. Zhao Xing and the guards looked at the countless plums, dates, and kumquat flying in the sky with a black line on their facesβeh, Brother Quan, that's not a secret weapon......
Zhao Xing wiped his forehead, so he had to throw him another pack, he poured it this time, grabbed it with his hand, and took it honestly.
Zhao Xing showed a big smile of approval to him, and then went upstairs with his hands and feet with food, wanting to pat him on the shoulder from behind to tease him while Liu was not paying attention, but suddenly saw a pair of figures around the corner.
The tall figure was wrapped in a touch of slenderness.
Liu, who had his back to her, was intimate with a woman.
Zhao Xing was a little stunned and stood on the stairs. The woman was facing her, tiptoeing slightly, her chin resting lightly on Liu's shoulder.
She saw the other side clearly.
This face is stunningly beautiful, it is Atau.
Atau is here......
It's just them, they're ......
At this time, Ah Tao was also a little surprised, pursed his lips and smiled, with a little embarrassment and shyness, and there was a faint trace of emotion and complexity in his eyes.
Zhao Xing saw that she hesitated slightly, and was about to call Liu to go, although she had prejudices against this woman, she also knew that she was really wrong, she smiled and shook her head, no longer bothered, and quietly walked downstairs.
Holding the things in his arms, he slowly paced home.
It turned out that Liu Qu was not a broken sleeve.
He was lying to her.
No, it's not a lie, he's an ancient man, and there are many women.
There can never be only one of the good things he treats.
She took a piece of candied fruit and imported it, the taste of licorice, a little bitter and astringent.
"Daddy, buy Meimei ......"
Suddenly, a childish laugh woke her mind away. I saw a little girl of five or six years old walking by holding the hand of a simple man, pointing at her and saying to the big man with a greedy face.
Daddy......
Her heart was shocked, what was wrong with her?
How could she be so cranky?
Since the front hall of Weiyang, I have witnessed Liu go to all kinds of things. This man doesn't seem to be strong, but he has a strategy, but the situation dictates that the power is divided...... She actually began to slowly recognize this Taishi, thinking that the person who would choose her as the crown of heaven and worry about the Bai Yinshuang case would not be such a cruel person, and she felt that he was familiar. That kind of familiarity is like a friend who has been deeply connected, and you can't look down on him badly. Unconsciously, deep down in his heart, he blamed Emperor Wu for the murder case.
Now, she even went to buy something for him, feeling strange that what he had said could not be practiced as she understood.
It's good that she doesn't love him, but she treats him as a ...... Friends. How can she be worthy of her father, brother and Mingyue!
Back at the mansion, it was already night, and Qingfeng and the others had also returned. In the past two days, she has another task for them.
All five of them had a slight tiredness on their faces. She gave them the snacks and asked carefully about the situation, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Qingfeng to accompany her to the roof to sit. The Imperial Shadow is a very lively person, shouting that she is also going to come up, and teaches her to kick down.
He sat on the eaves and raised his head, the blue sky was like a wash, and the moon was like a transparent jade, round and smooth, and as clear as water.
The moonlight is so beautiful. She thought to herself, but she was slightly stupid, she stared at the huge jade plate in a daze, and couldn't help but think of some very distant things in her heart, the past life and this life came to her heart like a tide......
For a moment, she felt so tired and lonely. I never felt this way at home before.
Breeze reached out and pulled her onto his shoulder.
Zhao Xing's eyes were half questioning, half lazy and looked at him.
Qingfeng said lightly: "This way the neck is not so tired." β
Zhao Xing's heart warmed, and she suddenly felt that a thousand words were not worth this sentence. She pillowed on Qingfeng's arm and whispered: "Qingfeng, if everything is done and I am still alive, let's find a green mountains and green waters, a secret and secluded place to live in seclusion, do you say?" β
Qingfeng was stunned, and when she didn't mean she said this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said in a dumb voice: "Okay." β
Zhao Xing happily rubbed his arm, and suddenly heard Qingfeng ask in a low voice: "Seclusion...... Just the two of us? β
There was a strange tremor in his voice.
Zhao Xingqi said: "It's just the two of us, who else do you want to bring?" β
Qingfeng's gaze suddenly changed to ten points brighter than the moon, and he stared at her, and suddenly rubbed her into his arms. Zhao Xing thought he was going to trouble her, so she chuckled to avoid it, to tickle him, like when she was a child.
After being relaxed for a while, Zhao Xing sat down and took a deep breath. Half a month, Liu went to take half a moon to help her, and she also had to work harder.
If this case is to be over, she must start investigating the case of Yang Cheng's family and destroying the family, and it can't be too late! One day later, she softened Liu Qu's heart!
Reminiscing about the day, a bold idea slowly took shape in her mind.
Under the eaves, Jingyun looked at a person lightly, "What, Zheng Gongzi, is it good-looking?" β
Next to the tree, the young man lowered his slightly tilted neck, smiled and asked, "Jingyun, I also want to ask, why is it you the first person to find the carrier pigeon every time?" I don't know what is in the pigeon? β
Seeing that Qingfeng jumped down with Zhao Xing, Xiao Zheng didn't stay where he was, and then entered the house. Behind him, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.
Zhao Xing went into the house and sharpened the ink, and quickly wrote a letter and asked the imperial shadow to send it to Huo Guang.
Half a month passed quickly, and these days, the west wind building outside the palace is becoming more and more lively, and the men are constantly coming and going, which is better than the previous scenery. In the palace, there is a little silence and terrible feeling.
It is said that Liu went back to the palace, Wei Zifu went to the greenhouse hall, and the two had a long talk, but in the end it ended in a quarrel.
It was the first time in many years that the two of them had argued so violently. The people walking in the palace felt uneasy and were extra careful, just afraid that this dark fire would leak to their heads if they were not careful.
On this day, in the courtyard of the palace, Xiahou Rong and the visiting Shi Ruoxian also had a few quarrels over this matter.
This Shi Ruoxian is Wei Qing's wife and Shi Ruoyan's sister. Throughout the ages, men's world, women's families, men are fighting outside, and women are no less than inside.
They are all children of high-ranking officials, and they have been taught by court education since childhood, and they have their own connections. Originally, this Shi Ruoxian and Xiahou Rong were friends in the boudoir, Xiahou Rong entered the palace as a concubine, and this Shi Ruoxian often visited the palace.
But now, as the dispute between Liu Qu and Ji Di becomes increasingly fierce, Wei Qing is the main general of Ji Di's subordinates, and Xiahou Rong also smells about the things outside the palace. Liu went to be busy with business, and she didn't come to her bedroom for many days. She is the daughter of the Xiahou family, with a noble status, pampered since she was a child, and her heart is already a nest of smoldering.
However, how can this woman not talk about her husband? When Shi Ruoxian talked about Wei Qing, her words carried a little smugness. Xiahou Rong sneered in her heart, and said in her heart: Sooner or later, I want you to look good. But with her background, she also practiced self-cultivation kung fu, so she only endured it for the time being, and sarcastically said a few words without a trace, saying that Wei Qingnai was from a low background.
Shi Ruoxian also quickly realized that something was wrong, although the Taishi was not as good as Ji Di, but she was not dead, in terms of status and background, although she was high, Xiahou Rong was expensive, and she was busy laughing and diverting the topic.
However, how can the fire in Xiahou Rong's heart be extinguished in three or two clicks? At this time, when I looked left and right, I happened to see Tao Wangqing walking by with the maid, and thought: This little cheap maid entered the palace, and within a few days, she stroked the qin to seduce the princess, which caused the princess to stay awake all night and accompany her in the wind for half a night. I heard that I went out of the palace yesterday and came back with the Taishi. Even if she wants to leave the palace, she must report to the queen or Liu in advance. What is this woman relying on?
Although she was a little jealous of Liu Qu's leniency towards this woman, but behind her was the Xiahou family, Queen Wei was her aunt, how close she was to her mother Princess Pingyang and Liu Qu's mother Xiahou Huan, plus Liu Qu treated her very much in the past, and Wei Zifu obviously disliked Tao Wangqing to the extreme, and heard Wei Zifu show a little bit of a mouth, and even had the intention of getting rid of it by Shi Ruoyan's hand. What is she afraid of?
She then made a move to Tao Wangqing and said lightly: "Miss Tao, where is this going?" β
