Chapter 147: Peeling Back the Cocoon (2)
(Today's 3,000 words ~ is still not enough, continue to make up for it!) There will be a small theater tomorrow~)
Half an hour later, Luo Wushuang walked out of the East and West Sixth Institute.
She looked at the sunset on the horizon, sighed faintly, and froze her lonely back.
The screen reverses back.
In the Dragon Gate Inn, Luo Wushuang sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the Shaoqing court dress of Dali Temple on the table.
The court dress was a small Ko Yara, the color was made of vermilion, and it was decorated with gold.
After Luo Wushuang sighed, he planned to stand up and change into court clothes.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door in, and Luo Wushuang was slightly stunned when he saw the person reflected in the bronze mirror.
I saw the visitor: "You stupid girl, are you still going?" I know you women are in trouble!"
A face as warm as jade appeared beside him, with a smile on his face.
"Third Brother"
"What? Today, I can only listen to opera, and don't even think about anything else. Song Yi sat down at the table with a big sting.
Luo Wushuang's fingers tightly clasped the edge of the dresser, held his breath, and slowly turned around.
Sure enough, where is the annoying third brother Song Yi at the table?
Luo Wushuang let out a breath of turbidity, as if he couldn't hold it.
She propped herself up on the table with one hand and took a deep breath.
"Your Excellencyβ" There was a knock at the door.
"What?" Luo Wushuang asked calmly.
"The slave is the servant of King Jing's Mansion, and he was sent by King Jing to invite Lord Luo to the box in the front yard."
When Luo Wushuang heard this, he stopped the hand that was originally caressing the court clothes.
FeelingsHelan Jingrui, the couple always like to find themselves at this time, and the last time they were in Cangzhou, it was Gusu Modye. This time in the capital, it was Helan Jingrui.
But Luo Wushuang didn't want to see Helan Jingrui, she understood why Helan Jingrui came to find her at this time.
is nothing more than wanting to explain the ins and outs of the previous case clearly before Luo Wushuang takes office.
Luo Wushuang is still on his heels now. It can not only coerce but also induce.
"Please go back and return to Lord Jing, Weichen is waiting for the holy decree, and he can't move a step."
Luo Wubi said, moving his footsteps and opening the door.
Helan Jingrui stood proudly in front of the door.
Luo Wushuang was not surprised to see Helan Jingrui, after all, this case implicated Concubine Ling and even the entire Chu family, and he had long expected that Helan Jingrui would play some small tricks.
"Wechen has seen King Jing."
"Flat."
"King Jing wants to come in for tea?"
"Lord Luo's tea is really unpalatable."
"No, Lord Luo said that he would invite this king to tea. But he had no intention of letting the king in. β
Luo Wushuang smiled slightly when he heard this, turned half of his body sideways, and gave up his position.
Helan Jingrui walked straight to the table and sat down. Not only did he pour himself a cup of tea, but he also poured a cup of tea for Luo Wushuang.
"King Jing is so polite, but Weichen is embarrassed."
Helan Jingrui smiled gently, and did not answer Luo Wushuang's words.
Luo Wushuang is naturally not stupid. will never take the initiative to talk to Helan Jingrui to take advantage of it.
The two fell silent. Just silently taste the Biluo Spring in the early spring of this year.
Judging from the picture, the two really look like tea friends who often get together to enjoy tea.
But both of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them broke the silence first.
Until the father-in-law of Xuan Paper came to summon Luo Wushuang into the palace, Helan Jingrui didn't say a word.
This made Luo Wushuang a little stunned, and after Luo Wushuang received the order, he was about to enter the palace with his father-in-law on Xuan Paper.
Luo Wushuang turned around and was about to ask Helan Jingrui to resign.
Helan Jingrui just stood up lightly and said, "The tea is good." β
When the two passed by, Luo Wushuang's afterglow caught a glimpse of the sadness that flashed on Helan Jingrui's face.
But there was no time to take a closer look, Helan Jingrui had already gone out. The sound of the two of them rubbing against each other was unusually loud.
Luo Wushuang was drumming in his heart, and he didn't know what Helan Jingrui was thinking.
Is it just to find yourself a cup of tea?
But the two are neither friends nor enemies. Why did Helan Jingrui find Luo Wushuang to drink such a meaningless cup of tea?
Helan Jingrui got out of the Longmen Inn, got into the carriage and went straight to Fulu Tower.
Fu Lu Lou is a restaurant in the capital with many signature dishes.
There were already people waiting in the Lan Ya room on the second floor.
After standing in Lan Ya and calming down a little, Helan Jingrui pushed open the door of Lan Ya Room.
"Shaojie."
With Helan Jingrui's call, a wheat-skinned man turned his head and burst into a warm smile.
It was Qi Shaojie who had not been seen for many days.
The two approached, Qi Shaojie clenched his fist and pounded Helan Jingrui's chest and said:
"Shaojie has been in the barracks for so long, and he has been promoted from an unknown junior general to a centurion, but you don't even want to send a letter to Shaojie."
Helan Jingrui didn't avoid Qi Shaojie's 'violence', but just said stupidly:
"I still don't know Shaojie's abilities? Sending those family letters with 'short love for children', wouldn't it disturb Shaojie's military morale?"
Helan Jingrui quipped wickedly, and a chill immediately flashed on Qi Shaojie's face.
"Sure enough, they are the ones who have become relatives, and they talk like those pedantic masters."
Helan Jingrui laughed when he heard this, and sat down with Qi Shaojie's shoulder.
"Shaojie, are you okay these days?"
"When I first entered the barracks, I was inevitably bullied by those oil sticks, and I endured it at first"
"Later, I simply rolled up my sleeves and beat them one by one and stopped."
"Also, I don't look at who our Shaojie is, when I was a child, I didn't learn to scratch and pinch from the girls."
"What are you talking about, when did I get involved with the girls?"
"Really? Shaojie doesn't seem to have suffered at someone's hands. β
"Tell me, if you can't say one, two, three today, Shaojie will have to compete with you."
"I don't fight you, you lose every time. If you lose, you will sue my mother. β
Qi Shaojie listened to Helan Jingrui's ridicule, and also recalled the eve.
"Hahaha, if you don't mention it. Shaojie really forgot that he was often used by you and Yan when he was a child."
Helan Jingrui heard Yan Ya's words, looked down, picked up the wine glass on the table and poured it down.
The thriving and lively market is still full of people, and the more prosperous it is, the more lonely it is.
When Qi Shaojie was about to say something, Helan Jingrui opened his mouth first:
"The case of the mother concubine has seen the light of day again."
"Concubine Ling? The "
Qi Shaojie's face was full of disbelief, and Helan Jingrui nodded solemnly.
"But Concubine Ling's case can be regarded as a royal taboo, why was it so easily re-investigated?"
Helan Jingrui shook his head. said he didn't know.
"But Shaojie, when I was a child, I was so hopeful that someone could give my mother a justice, so I looked forward to a clear explanation."
"When the day really comes. I didn't want to hear anything anymore. β
Helan Jingrui's voice was like a sleepy beast, low and sad.
Qi Shaojie naturally understands the thoughts of this long-time friend, and since the reappearance of Concubine Ling six years ago, it has made Helan Jing Rui more and more difficult to let go.
Helan Jingrui's childhood was shrouded in shadows. Song Chenyan is the brightest star in his few happy days.
When the mother concubine who has been dead for many years comes back, the first thing is not to care for herself. Instead, he forced himself to die and forced himself to give up the equally important woman in his life.
Helan Jingrui eventually figured out the ins and outs of everything, but so what? He eventually lost his little Yan.
Compared with the deep scheming of his mother, Helan Jingrui is more willing to choose Xiao Yan, who is ignorant of the world.
"Shaojie, you don't know how many filthy undercurrents are hidden in the seemingly resplendent palace."
"It's like a behemoth, it eats people and never spits out bones, and none of us want to escape."
"Until death, no one will want to escape from it."
Helan Jingrui said. While pouring the flask.
"Even his own mother and concubine can't be trusted."
"No matter what Concubine Ling does. She must be wholeheartedly for you. β
Qi Shaojie couldn't see Helan Jingrui drinking wine alone, so he grabbed the wine jug and poured it directly into his throat, and the spicy instantly burned in his throat.
"Born into the royal family wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly just for the supreme power."
"Even I have become the same person as them."
"Shaojie, will you deceive me too?"
Helan Jingrui spread out his hands, as if looking for something.
"Shaojie doesn't care what is different, Shaojie only knows that if one day"
"No matter what day it is, Shaojie will take the lead for his master."
The two glanced at each other, fully understanding the deep meaning of the other party's unspoken meaning.
Helan Jingrui smiled desolate and continued:
"But Shaojie, I don't know what happened today."
"I went to the minister who investigated my mother's concubine case and drank a cup of inexplicable tea."
"Which minister deserves such a grief from my King Jing?"
"Shaojie, you say, will Xiao Yan still be alive?"
Helan Jingrui did not answer Qi Shaojie's question positively, but asked such a question without making a fuss.
Qi Shaojie looked at Helan Jingrui's eyebrows full of sadness, and it was not difficult to guess who this minister was.
"Jiangnan Luo's family? Cangzhou Wedding Banquet Luo Wushuang is also?"
Helan Jingrui nodded, Qi Shaojie actually didn't have a hard time imagining why Helan Jingrui would go to Luo Wushuang to drink such a cup of tea.
Maybe it was when he was in Cangzhou, Luo Wushuang's active provocation made Helan Jingrui slightly wipe out some of his guilt for Song Chenyan.
Or in the case of Concubine Ling, apart from Helan Jingrui herself, Luo Wushuang knows the most.
These are the two women who are most valued in Helan Jingrui's life, and they happen to be inexplicably involved with Luo Wushuang.
This mixture of emotions made Helan Jingrui can't help but want to get close to Luo Wushuang, and want to find the resonance point between the two from Luo Wushuang's words.
"How is Yueya'er doing? Don't snub her, she's a good girl, after all. β
Qi Shaojie took the initiative to divert the topic, he really didn't want to talk to Helan Jingrui about Luo Wushuang, he knew that the final direction of the topic would be Song Chenyan.
And Song Chenyan is the living scab in Helan Jingrui's heart, which will never heal and will always be drenched in blood.
How dare he mention it? (To be continued.) )
