Chapter 253: The bluestone in front of the hall hates a little
Qi Xiuwu saw Xiao Zijin looking so emotionally out of control, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook up a chuckle.
"Prince, the concubine doesn't know what your intention is in saying these words to the concubine, and I don't want to know, the Tang family and Imperial Physician Zhang don't have any grievances, don't bother His Royal Highness the Prince!" Xiao Zijin looked directly at Qi Xiuwu and said coldly, his eyes were full of sharp emotions.
"It's true that it has nothing to do with me, but don't the fifth siblings think it's too unfair? Imperial Doctor Zhang is so chic now, but the Tang family has long since lost its original glory, until now, the Tang family is even more unsustainable, are the five brothers and sisters willing? Qi Xiuwu's words were hard and painful, which made Xiao Zijin breathless.
Xiao Zijin exhaled a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down, her neatly trimmed nails left scratches on the dark brown wooden table, but her eyes were still cold and sober.
"Brother Huang, the concubine is indeed very unwilling, but ...... This is a private matter of the concubine, and it really has nothing to do with the royal brother! ”
Before Qi Xiuwu could say something, at this time, Xiao Zijin's maid Heyi had already pushed the door in, and when she saw Qi Xiuwu's posture, she couldn't help but be startled, and slowly leaned over and saluted.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Qi Xiuwu saw that there were outsiders, and it was not easy to say anything more, so he twisted his eyebrows slightly and brushed his sleeves and left.
Xiao Zijin's eyes were as cold as ice, and her heart was turbulent, she thought that the relationship between the prince and Qi Xiuchao was very good, but now looking at the situation, I am afraid that it is just a false rumor, and even more, it is more likely that Qi Xiuwu is still waiting to beat Qi Xiuchao upside down!
"Miss?" Heyi came over with some worry, she was cold by nature. Naturally, he would not take the initiative to ask Xiao Zijin what happened, but looking at that look, it seemed that Qi Xiuwu wanted to mistreat Xiao Zijin.
Xiao Zijin reluctantly withdrew his god. His face was a little pale, and he said lightly, "What about the prince?" ”
"The prince has just returned to the house, and now he is resting in the room, is the young lady going to see the prince?" He Yi also didn't ask any more questions, but just answered Xiao Zijin's question.
Xiao Zijin replied lightly, and after packing up the medicinal materials on the table, he left the pharmacy and went straight to Qi Xiu's resting room.
This side of the Xiao family's courtyard. Liu Yufei got up early in the morning, and after freshening up, she was ready to say goodbye to Xiao Zihuan, and the plague on her body had been completely cured. Presumably he will not be infected with malaria again in the future, so he wants to go back to Linshan County to say goodbye to Liu County, and by the way, he will also go to find Lin Mei.
He had just walked outside Xiao Zihuan's door, but he heard a commotion outside the door. And the sound of the horses. I don't know who drove here.
"Could it be...... Lin Mei, right? Liu Yufei muttered to herself, and gradually rejoiced in her heart, she hadn't seen Lin Mei for two or three days, and I don't know if she and Aunt Lin were still in Linshan County these days, what if she was accidentally infected with the plague?
Lin Shi followed Liu Yufei in a daze, blinked her eyes and still didn't like to talk, she liked to stick to Lin Mei when Lin Mei was there, and she liked to stick to Liu Yufei when Lin Mei was away.
Liu Yufei saw that Lin Shi also came out with him. He smiled lightly, "Why did you come out too?" ”
Lin Shi smirked at her. Still don't talk much.
Liu Yufei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, took Lin Shi's hand and walked towards the gate.
As soon as the two of them left the gate, they saw a fierce black man jumping off the carriage, repelling the servants gathered around, and said viciously, "Where is your young master?" Let him come out and see me! ”
As he spoke, there was a faint sound of a woman crying in the carriage, and it seemed that there was more than one woman.
Liu Yufei's bad premonition in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, this person acts rudely and looks fierce, I don't know how Xiao Zihuan could get acquainted with such a person, and there is a woman's crying voice in the carriage, if it is also the reason for this man, then this character is too bad!
Lin Shi was also taken aback by this person's fierce tone, and retreated again and again.
Among those servants, there was a young man who looked smart, looked at the black-faced man a few times, and said happily, "This master, I don't know if you are?" ”
The black-faced man snorted and said coldly, "Just tell your son-in-law that there is a person named Sun Li looking for him outside, and ask him to come out to see me quickly!" Otherwise, if Mr. Yun blames him, he can't afford it. ”
The little guy's face changed when he heard this, as if Mr. Yun's identity was extremely precious.
Mr. Yun...... Who is this?
Liu Yufei frowned suspiciously, and was about to continue looking when he saw Xiao Zihuan coming from the back room in a hurry, and the hairbands on his head were all tied in a hurry, which was extremely inconsistent with his usual gentle appearance.
As soon as Xiao Zihuan came out, he saw Liu Yufei also standing outside, his already not very good-looking face instantly became whiter, and he walked over and whispered beside Liu Yufei, "Why did you come out?" Hurry up and take Young Lady Tang in, it's better for you not to get contaminated with these things, otherwise it will be difficult to get out when the time comes......"
He thought that Liu Yufei was curious about his own affairs, but he didn't know that the reason why Liu Yufei came out was just because he thought it was Lin Mei who came back, so now that he heard Xiao Zihuan's self-righteous words, he couldn't help but sneer, and said coldly, "Xiao Gongzi, I just thought that Lin Mei was back, as for the dirty things you said, I really have no interest!" ”
Xiao Zihuan's face immediately turned pale, but Sun Li, the black-faced man waiting outside, couldn't wait, and hurriedly said as soon as he saw Xiao Zihuan come out, "Xiao Zihuan, help me!" ”
"Sun Li?" Xiao Zihuan only felt that these things encountered today were worse than the other.
"That's right, it's me! Help me, those officers and soldiers behind are about to chase here! Sun Li said that he was about to drive to the courtyard of the Xiao family, but without Xiao Zihuan's order, those subordinates naturally would not let Sun Li break in like this, and they all blocked in front of Sun Li's carriage and did not allow him to come in.
Xiao Zihuan was about to say something to Liu Yufei to explain, but when he saw her holding Lin Shi's hand and leaving without looking back, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, and the momentum on his body immediately became cold.
"Sun Li, how could you provoke those officers and soldiers?" Xiao Zihuan's voice was a little angry. I really don't want to help Sun Li clean up the mess.
"Xiao Zihuan, you and I are both working under Mr., if I am arrested by those people. I'm afraid that you will also be implicated, even if you are not implicated, will Mr. Yun spare you? Sun Li's face was full of eagerness, he finally thought that Xiao Zihuan had a courtyard here, if he didn't even help Xiao Zihuan cover it up, he was afraid that his little life would really be difficult to protect!
As soon as Xiao Zihuan heard the words "Mr. Yun", he couldn't help but tremble, pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he spoke, "If I leave you so rashly, I am afraid that I will find your traces in the end." Maybe it will affect me even more. ”
"You!" Hearing Xiao Zihuan's words, Sun Li's expression became more and more fierce, and his gaze staring at Xiao Zihuan almost didn't break him into pieces.
"Therefore, you should stay in my yard with the girl in the carriage. I'll send a servant to drive this carriage to another place. When the time comes, if you abandon the car and come back, even if those officers and soldiers chase after you along the way, they will not pursue him for anything when they see that it is not you, let alone that I will take you in. Xiao Zihuan's eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, and he naturally heard the sound of a woman crying in the carriage, but he was not familiar with Sun Li. The things in charge are also different, and it's not good to ask more indifferently.
Sun Li heard Xiao Zihuan's words, but he immediately turned his anger into joy. replied in a loud voice, "Xiao Zihuan, you are still smart, no wonder Mr. Yun values you so much......"
Xiao Zihuan frowned slightly, and seemed to be very disgusted by Sun Li's words, but in the end he still endured it, and just said lightly, "Then don't you get out of the car quickly?" and the women behind your carriage, whom you brought yourself, so please keep an eye on them yourself. ”
Sun Lixi responded diligently, and immediately got into the carriage and shouted angrily, "Don't come out yet, otherwise the master wants you to look good!" ”
I saw that four sloppy women with their hands tied and frightened immediately came out of the carriage, trembling and crawling out of the carriage, their faces were dirty, but they could vaguely see that their original appearance should not be bad, and they didn't know how they would be treated like this by Sun Li, they really didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Those subordinates in the courtyard of the Xiao family couldn't bear to see this, and whispered gossip next to them, but how could Sun Li care about these things? After driving those women down, he urged them to rush into the courtyard of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zihuan seemed to be used to this kind of thing, his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "Little Liu, you go and drive this carriage to the direction of Linshan County, the farther the better, and then abandon the car and return on foot." ”
"Yes, Childe." After listening to Xiao Zihuan's instructions, he got into the carriage without saying a word, picked up the reins from the side, and drove the horse to the direction of Linshan County.
Xiao Zihuan watched Xiao Liu go away, and then he instructed the Xiao family people who were waiting at the door, "None of you saw this today. ”
"Yes, Childe......" Those people were also clever, and after answering the words, they immediately went back to the other courtyard, performing their duties, as if what happened just now did not happen at all, but there was no dispute.
Xiao Zihuan saw that the crowd had retreated, so he sighed softly and slowly paced back to the courtyard, and then, there was a hard battle.
Sure enough, not long after Xiao Zihuan entered the house, he heard a message from his own little servant, saying that the prefect of Jinju asked to see him.
At that time, he just curled up his originally scattered hair, inserted a hosta, wore a light blue robe, starry eyes, sword eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and was really more handsome than those beautiful women.
The prefect of Jinzhou had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and as soon as he saw Xiao Zihuan going out, he immediately smiled and said politely, "Zihuan's nephew, I don't know how good the teacher has been in health over the years?" ”
Xiao Zihuan also bowed back, and said with a light smile, "Lord Prefect is polite, my grandfather has been fine all these years, and his body has become tougher and tougher, and Lord Lao Zhifu has remembered it." ”
The prefect of Jinzhou originally planned to come hard, but after knowing that this was the Xiao family's other courtyard, his attitude immediately softened, and told those subordinates to ask them to inform their young master, no matter how they said that they were all students taught by the Xiao family, and they couldn't be too rude to the people of the Xiao family, otherwise those officials were not vegetarians, and a casual letter could make him speechless.
"Zihuan's nephew doesn't need to be polite, but just now, did Zihuan's nephew ever see a carriage pass by here? The driver was a black-faced man......" The prefect of Jinju said this, and the smile on his face slowly retracted, carefully observing the changes in Xiao Zihuan's expression.
He also had some doubts in his heart about whether the fugitive Sun Li had something to do with Xiao Zihuan, after all, Xiao Zihuan, as a concubine, had mastered the power of the Xiao family in just a few years, and his ability should not be underestimated, and he was already a tribute at a young age, and he would be recommended by the ministers of the court to become the champion next year, this knowledge is indeed rare in the world, not to mention that he is so young. And this Sun Li didn't go anywhere to come here, if he wasn't an acquaintance, how would he know that there was another courtyard behind here?
Xiao Zihuan naturally didn't know that the prefect of Jinzhou had already suspected himself, and his facial expression was as usual, but he said with some doubts, "Carriage? If you were talking about a carriage set up by a black-faced man, the younger generation would have seen it......"
"The nephew has seen it?" The prefect of Jinju's tone became intense, and his eyes were full of heat when he looked at Xiao Zihuan.
"At that time, the strong man wanted to ask me to take him in, saying that he would stay in it for a night, but the junior saw that the man didn't seem to be a good person, so he refused his request, and later, he went in the direction of Linshan County." Xiao Zihuan glanced at the official road in Linshan County, and saw that there were two distinct traces of car wheels printed on the road, pointing straight to Linshan County.
The prefect of Jinzhou was slightly wide, Xiao Zihuan's words should not have bluffed him, so he sent someone to chase after Linshan County, and he exchanged a few words with Xiao Zihuan, and also rode a horse to chase him.
Xiao Zihuan stood at the door for a long time, and saw that the figures of the prefect of Jinzhou and others had disappeared, so he turned around and went back to the house, and the door of the Xiao family's courtyard was slowly closed.
Not long after they closed the door, the prefect of Jinzhou led people to come around from Linshan County, and they didn't approach this side, just standing not far away and silently watching the Xiao family's courtyard.
"Your Excellency, what are you?" The entourage who followed was a little puzzled by what he meant, obviously Sun Li had already driven the carriage to Linshan County, but why did his family still look unhurried? Isn't he not afraid of Sun Li's escape at all?
The prefect of Jinju stared at the gate of the Xiao family's courtyard and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Zihuan is just lying to us......
"Xiao Gongzi is lying to us?" The attendant looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe it. (To be continued.) )
