CHAPTER XXIII
The night was beautiful, like the moonlight of the water illuminating the courtyard. The cool breeze blows on the face at night, making people feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly hearing a sound, Ah Xiang looked into the courtyard and saw a person going out of the door, and his movements were very light. If you look closely, it turned out to be a cow. What is this bull going to do on the big night? Sneaky. When Ah Xiang was puzzled, Ah Niu looked around the courtyard, because Ah Xiang didn't light candles, and the room was pitch black, so he couldn't see anything. After confirming that there was no one around, Ah Niu used light power to fly up to the roof, leaving Ah Xiang messy in the wind.
She just stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
This Ah Niu knows martial arts? But how could an ordinary subordinate have martial arts? This Ah Niu is not an ordinary person, only this conclusion is correct. Yu Niang, yes, looking at Yu Niang's temperament, she doesn't look like a chef. There must be something ulterior for them to hide in the Shen Mansion. Also, why is Ah Niu suddenly so enthusiastic about her, and what is the purpose? Suddenly feeling that this Shen Mansion was not safe, Ah Xiang shook goosebumps all over her body. Think about it, go to bed first, and think about it later.
All day, Ah Xiang was thinking about it, and Shen Ruomeng, the director, shouted to her a few times but didn't hear it.
"Ah Xiang!"
Ah Xiang woke up at this time. "Miss, are you calling me?"
"Ah Xiang, what's wrong with you today? You can't hear it all the time. Shen Ruomeng was inexplicably a little aggrieved, how could Ah Xiang ever ignore her?
"I'm sorry, Miss, I'm a little unwell today, so I'm in a bit of a trance."
As soon as she heard Ah Xiang say that she was not feeling well, Shen Ruomeng hurriedly asked, "Where is it uncomfortable, do you want to ask a doctor?" ”
This made Ah Xiang a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "No, it may be that I didn't sleep well last night." ”
Shen Ruomeng listened to it and told Ah Xiang to rest early in the future, which made Ah Xiang even more embarrassed. She goes back to rest in the morning and evening, and she can't see when the other party rests. But forget it, seeing that she is young and ignorant, don't worry about her.
On the way, Ah Xiang met Ah Niu and subconsciously wanted to escape, but he was afraid that the other party would find out, so he had to pretend to say hello.
"Ah Niu, what are you going to do?"
Ah Niu smiled innocently, "Some vegetables were brought from the back door, and Kangzi said that he was not feeling well, so I came to help him carry things." "Listen, how honest you are, you are bullied by others. If Ah Xiang had thought so before, but now he will only think that this Ah Niu's acting skills are really good!
"Oh oh, then you go get busy." After saying that, Ah Xiang left. Ah Niu glanced at the direction that Ah Xiang was walking and walked in another direction, not the direction of the back door.
"Master, what do you mean by that!" Shen Shangshu said angrily.
"Shen Shangshu don't be angry. The old decay is just showing you the way. Taishi Cai said with a smile, looking genuinely considerate.
Shen Shangshu has also been in the officialdom for decades, don't you know his true face for this old fox!?
"What clear road? Following the Three Princes is the clear road? ”
"You also know how much the emperor attaches importance to the three princes now, although the crown prince has already been determined, but I don't know who will be the one who will take the throne in the end."
"Master don't want to talk about it anymore, I don't think we need to talk about this matter anymore."
Ah Xiang holds a tray in her hand, on which are placed two teacups and teapots, both of which are blue and white porcelain, with intricate patterns but not tacky, and the porcelain glaze is smooth and shiny. On the way, I met Xingyu and suddenly had an urgency to urinate, but this tea had to be delivered to the front hall quickly. It's just a matter of sending a tea, and Ah Xiang helped her deliver it.
When I was about to get to the front hall, I saw Ah Niu behind the pillar at the door. Ah Xiang wondered if Ah Niu didn't go to the back door? Looking at Ah Niu's expression, it was not what a simple young man should have, his eyes were dark, his face was stern, and he stared at the people in the front hall tightly. Noticing that someone was coming, Ah Niu quickly withdrew his gaze. When he found out that it was Ah Xiang, he was embarrassed and fled away. Ah Xiang shrugged his shoulders, this Ah Niu is really not a simple subordinate.
Ah Xiang entered the front hall and interrupted the heated conversation. He put the tray down and took out the teacup and teapot and put them on the table beside the guest and Master Shen. Ah Xiang noticed that the other party was a very old man. The other party just glanced at himself and didn't pay attention to Ah Xiang.
As she was leaving, she heard a conversation behind her.
"Shen Shangshu, you see that you have no foresight, the talents and strategies of the three princes are even worse than those of the crown prince, otherwise the emperor would not value the three princes so much."
"Someone, send off!"
Seeing this, Taishi Cai knew that there was no hope, so he just threw down the sentence "Hello for yourself" and left. was so angry that Shen Shangshu slapped the table beside him, the teapots fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea was spilled everywhere.
"It's so deceitful!"
On the way, Ah Xiang recalled the conversation just now, that person should also be a court official, and she didn't know what it was. Speaking of the three princes, it seems that this person persuaded Master Shen to join Xuanyuan Ming's side, but it is obvious that Master Shen is on Xuanyuan Sheng's side. In this way, it seems that Xuanyuan Ming and Xuanyuan Sheng are working hard to compete for the throne, in other words, there is also a storm in the court. And what about the emperor, allowing their brothers to kill each other? Think about it, I guess he is looking at it, he should have experienced all of this. Thinking like this, Ah Xiang was secretly glad that he didn't wear it to the royal family, although he enjoyed the glory and wealth, he also had to have a fate. Isn't her simple brain circuit abused into scum every minute?
"Ah Xiang."
"Huh? Is there something wrong? Ah Xiang looked at Ah Niu, who was a little helpless in front of him, and knew very well what he wanted to say.
"It's today in the antechamber. Kangzi said that he was fine, so I saw that it was okay to walk around, and I happened to see someone in the front hall and looked at it curiously. ”
Looking at such a Niu, Ah Xiang sighed secretly, still not mature enough!
"Well, don't worry, I didn't take it to heart."
"It's good that you didn't take it to heart, I'm still worried that you'll be angry with me and say that I lied to you!" looks like I'm afraid that the object will misunderstand and get angry, so I'm not in a hurry!
"Uh-huh, don't be angry. If it's okay, I'll go first, and Miss should be in a hurry when I go back late. ”
Hearing Ah Xiang say this, Ah Niu couldn't continue to block her, and turned sideways to let her pass. Watching Ah Xiang walk away, Ah Niu's face sank, and he shouldn't have found anything, but he was just an ordinary maid. But thinking of the reason why he was entangled with her, he couldn't treat her as an ordinary maid.
Hey, I feel like I'm going to be suspicious of Ah Niu. Ah Xiang was very worried when she thought of this. If this is the case, then your own safety will be threatened. Looking at Ah Niu today, he doesn't look like a good stubble, and the other party still has martial arts, so he can't abuse himself to death?
But who is this Ah Niu? In the front hall, except for Master Shen, it is the old man. Except for Master Shen, then his target is another person. The old man came to persuade Master Shen to go to Xuanyuan Ming's side, what kind of person Xuanyuan Ming is Ah Xiang doesn't know very well, the only thing he knows is that he likes Shen Ruomeng, or the kind he grew up with, and he is also a lover. But thinking about it, it is difficult to ensure that Xuanyuan Ming didn't want to start from Shen Ruomeng's side, so that Master Shen had to go to his side. It's not that Ah Xiang deliberately thinks about people, she is afraid that she thinks of others simply. Or speaking of Ah Niu, is he Xuanyuan Sheng's person? But I don't think it's like it, not to mention that Xuanyuan Sheng has been here many times, he hasn't moved, only that he can get any useful information in the Shen Mansion, except for today, there is no more. And seeing that Master Shen is very resolutely on Xuanyuan Sheng's side, so Xuanyuan Sheng can rest assured that Shen Mansion. Assuming that Ah Niu is not Xuanyuan Sheng's person, then who is he from?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ah Xiang didn't think about it, so she could only observe it slowly in the future.
After Ye Chenqing's face was good, he couldn't be quiet. pestered Aunt Ye left and right to let her out.
Seeing Ye Chenqing go out, a subordinate hurriedly ran to Ye Kexin's room.
"Miss, Ye Chenqing has gone out."
"Well, let those people be prepared. This time, I'm going to ruin this Ye Chenqing! Said and sneered, but it scared the people next to her, the young lady was really vicious, and she actually came up with such a trick.
Ye Chenqing took Liu Qing to walk in the streets and alleys. The capital is very big, and she still has a lot of places to visit!
Walking into an offset alleyway, several strong men suddenly appeared in front and back, looking at Ye Chenqing with squinting eyes. This little lady is really good-looking, it seems that she has made a lot of money today! Several people thought of this in unison.
Watching them slowly approach the middle, Ye Chenqing shouted: "Run", and pulled Liu Qing to run forward, trying to rush away from them.
But obviously Ye Chenqing overestimated his strength, just her and Liu Qing, a strong man can bring them both down.
Seeing that he was caught by two strong men, Ye Chenqing struggled desperately but couldn't break free. Liu Qing was also restrained by one person and couldn't move. Crying and shouting, "Miss." ”
Hearing Liu Qing shouting to himself, Ye Chenqing became even more annoyed. But I thought of an idea - shout!
"Help! Help me! A few people next to her immediately covered Ye Chenqing's mouth and didn't let her shout.
Ye Chenqing opened his mouth and bit the hand covering his mouth with his teeth.
"Ahh One person was bitten by Ye Chenqing and let go of his hand and screamed in pain.
Ye Chenqing took the opportunity to shout again: "Help!" ”
At this time, a man appeared in the alleyway and knocked them to the ground in a few strokes.
Ye Chenqing shouted happily when he saw someone coming: "Du Sheng! ”
Du Sheng heard Ye Chenqing shouting to himself and looked up. He looked at the few people on the ground who were desperately begging for mercy. I wanted to kill them all, but I didn't want this person to see it, so I gave up.
"Hero, spare your life! The little ones don't dare anymore. ”
Ye Chenqing walked up to them and said in a tough tone: "Say, who sent you?" After speaking, he kicked those people, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly gave everything out.
Ye Kexin, the old lady and you have a tie, you wait for me! Ye Chenqing thought hatefully.
Seeing that those people were looking at him with pleading eyes, Ye Chenqing really couldn't do anything to them, after all, they were also doing things for others.
"Du Sheng let them go!"
As soon as those people heard this, they got up and left, even if they were covered with injuries, they couldn't take care of it, after all, life is the most important thing.
"Du Sheng, are you here?"
Looking at the woman in front of him who was smiling gratefully at herself, Du Sheng's tone became gentle.
"The prince sent me to this neighborhood for something." So I heard Ye Chenqing's cry for help.
"That's right. Xuanyuan Sheng didn't know what he was busy with lately, and he hadn't seen him for a long time. ”
Du Sheng was speechless and didn't say anything more.
"Then you're busy, I have to go back." Go back and settle the score! Then he pulled Liu Qing out of here.
Du Sheng remained in place, watching Ye Chenqing's figure disappear into the alleyway. I don't know what's going on, and I suddenly thought of the one named Ah Xiang. This was the case for her that time, but she didn't shout, she didn't say a word, she just lay there, gave up the struggle, and was full of despair. Du Sheng thought that he might never forget the smile she smiled at himself when he saved her, so miserable, but ...... It's so beautiful.
At this time, a person appeared next to Du Sheng and stood respectfully aside. Du Sheng glanced at the other party, then turned around and left, and the man followed Du Sheng away.
