Chapter 223: Drunkenness and Jealousy
Zhu Fei stared at Yue'er's back, his expression a little complicated. He said slowly, "She can accurately call me by name at the first sight of me, and I am sure that tonight is the first time I have seen her, so it can be seen that she is not as lonely and helpless in this palace as she herself said." ”
After a pause, he said slowly: "What's more, she was forced not to step into the main hall tonight, but what happened inside can quickly reach her ears, and her ability in this palace can be imagined." ”
Zhu Fei's words made Zhong Ziyuan dumbfounded, and after a long while, she said suspiciously: "That is the case, then why do you still let me promise to let the heir recognize her as a righteous sister?" ”
Under the moonlight, although the corners of Zhu Fei's mouth were smiling, the smile was a little more cunning than usual. He glanced around, then suppressed his voice and said, "The emperor will not like the marriage of Yelutel to those princesses of the big tribes, because he does not want to see the second Yeluteri appear. If it is clearly referred to as a county lord or princess marrying, I am afraid that these Khitans will be defensive in their hearts. I think this month is very good, I have a friendship with Yerod, and I have enough ambition and brains, but what I lack is nothing more than an identity. You gave her this identity, and if she was smart enough, she would have grasped it firmly and been grateful. She will really become the great clan of Yelutar in the future, and it will not be a powerful help for you. ”
Zhong Ziyuan was puzzled and said, "Why did she become my help again?" ”
Zhu Fei stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, and sighed: "What a stupid boy, do you think the Zhenguo Mansion is so easy to enter?" Don't find a few more immortals to support you. That old witch of his house is afraid that she will skin you alive! ”
Zhong Ziyuan was a little stunned when she heard this, she really didn't expect it, she just recognized a righteous sister. The causal relationship can be so complex.
She could hear a worry in Zhu Fei's tone, a heartfelt worry about her future situation. She rolled her eyes and said briskly: "I'm not afraid!" I don't have you to back me up! If I was really bullied and miserable, I still had two legs, don't I know how to run? ”
Zhu Fei smiled faintly and said, "The day I am here is naturally your backing, if one day I ......" He immediately paused before he finished speaking. Then he said casually: "Actually, I'm just worrying about the sky, with Xiao Guozi's ability, it should be no problem to protect you." ”
Meet his slightly melancholy eyes. With thin gray-purple lips faintly revealing in the bright red, and a thinner and thinner body, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour. She didn't understand how she could have this man's wholehearted care! It's just that he is so desireless and wantless that it makes people feel distressed.
Zhong Ziyuan sniffed. Forced Yan smiled and said, "You said that." I don't even dare to marry him! ”
Zhu Fei snorted, laughed, and said, "That's not good, if you are really too scared by me to marry Xiao Guozi, I am afraid that he will take his pro-army from the Fengtai battalion to Shu to trouble me!"
Zhong Ziyuan was a little sullen in his heart, but he laughed when he said this. While she was talking and laughing, a gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing her waist-length hair and flying in the wind. The wide purple skirt rippled like waves between her ankles. A demeanor that flows from the bones is natural, as if the world has also become bright because of her.
There was a strong scent of roses enveloping the two of them. Zhu Fei took a deep breath, and his warm eyes slowly became misty. He couldn't help but creep closer to her until her fluttering hair touched his chest, and her breath mingled with his.
He reached out to touch her cheek, and at a moment's notice, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out two loud sneezes. He was startled, and finally came to his senses from his confusion.
Zhong Ziyuan covered his mouth, looked at him innocently with a pair of eyes, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold back for a while!"
Zhu Fei smiled helplessly and said, "It's windy, since you feel cold, let's go back to the main hall!" After coming out for so long, Xiao Guozi should be worried. ”
Zhong Ziyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay! ”
After only a few steps, she suddenly stopped and exclaimed in a low voice: "Oops, I was interrupted by Yue'er like this, and I almost forgot about important things." ”
"What else?" Zhu Fei asked in surprise.
Zhong Ziyuan approached him and asked in a low voice, "Do you know if Yelu Tilie is dead or alive now?" ”
Zhu Fei frowned and thought for a while, and said: "The fire outside the palace gate that day was amazing, and countless soldiers were burned to death, but no one knew whether Yelu Tilie was alive or dead in the chaos. Later, when he was cleaning the battlefield, someone found his scimitar in a pile of charred bones, so it was concluded that he had died in the fire. How did you remember to ask this? ”
Zhong Ziyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, she lowered her voice, and said a little nervously: "I suspect that he is not dead, not only is he not dead, but even the Queen Mother is not dead." ”
Zhu Fei was taken aback and said, "Why do you think that they are not dead?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan was afraid that Zhu Fei would think that she was talking about it, so she took it very seriously and told her about the strange maid she met in the palace, and then concluded: "I heard that when the maid described the tragic situation after the death of the queen mother, although she showed a look of horror on her face, she did not have a trace of compassion, which is completely unreasonable!" If she really followed the Queen Mother for so long, and the Queen Mother died so miserably, she should feel sad and sad, so I dare to speculate that not only the Queen Mother, but even Yelu Tilie did not die. ”
Zhu Fei seemed to be taken aback by her bold speculation, and he said incredulously: "No wonder the Queen Mother wanted to disfigure herself before she died, and left such a vicious blood book as a curse, in fact, it was to cover up the fact that she was not the Queen Mother at all!" ”
As Zhu Fei spoke, Talina's stubborn eyes suddenly broke into Zhong Ziyuan's mind. She couldn't help but mutter, "Yes! With a disguiser like her, anyone can become the Queen Mother and become Yelu Tilie" Speaking of this, she showed a trace of uneasiness on her face.
Zhu Fei frowned and said, "Yelu Tilie is just stealing his life if he doesn't die now, aren't you secretly trapping that maid!" Just catch her and torture her to extract a confession. I don't have to worry about the whereabouts of Jerutereth. ”
Zhong Ziyuan held up the big tree on the side with her right hand, her fingers unconsciously scratching on the rough bark, obviously in a strong struggle in her heart. She murmured, "Jerodreel is dead." The right should be to inherit the heirs and avenge the people of Juchong Pass! It's just that the Queen Mother treats me well, I really don't want to see her white-haired people send black-haired people. ”
Zhu Fei couldn't help but smile when she saw her bitter face and embarrassed, and said, "Since you are so embarrassed, you just don't know about it." Anyway, Jeruthereth is like a water dog today. There will be no more big waves. Once a tyrant like him loses his power, I'm afraid it will be even worse than death! ”
Zhong Ziyuan was stunned and said, "Is this okay?" After Zhong Ziyuan realized that the Empress Dowager Yelu Tilie might not have died, she was panicked and confused and didn't know what to do. That's why I played a trick. Temporarily trapped the maid in the dormitory. But then she calmed down, she regretted it a little, she always felt that the Queen Mother treated her well, and she felt a little down.
"Why not?" The corners of Zhu Fei's mouth lifted. Said briskly: "Later, I will find a reason to get the guards near the dormitory away." Let the maid wait for an opportunity to get out. After helping them this time, you don't have to feel indebted anymore.
What's more, what you heard today is just the words of the maid, in fact, you don't know the real thoughts of the Queen Mother. We will stay here for three days at most, and we will leave for Chang'an after three days, and it is estimated that you will rarely have the opportunity to come to Beijing again in your life, so everything here will be regarded as a dream in your previous life! ”
Zhong Ziyuan nodded and said quite reservedly: "What you said seems to be reasonable!" ”
See her like this. Zhu Fei almost burst out laughing. This soft-hearted stupid woman, she knows it in her heart. If Guo Chenghei had been told about this, that nerd would never let go of Yelu Tilie's mother and son in order to take care of the overall situation. So she chose to call herself out to tell all this, which was simply subconsciously looking for a comfortable excuse to let go of the mother and son.
After handing over this big trouble to Zhu Fei, Zhong Ziyuan returned to the main hall refreshed. The hall became more and more noisy, in addition to eating meat and drinking wine, those new rulers were busy walking around each other to communicate with each other, you toast me, I toast you, it seems that it is not lively. There are also those **** hearts, who directly hugged the beautiful and charming dancing girl and played on their knees.
Zhong Ziyuan frowned, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Guo Chengsi, but saw that Akezhen had occupied her place at some point, and she and Guo Chengsi were standing side by side, accepting a toast from an old man. That's it, after Zhong Ziyuan approached, he was stunned to find that Akezhen's cheeks were crimson and drunk. The misty eyes were misty, and the soft and boneless body was almost all attached to Guo Chenghe. Guo Chengsi was a little helpless on his face, but he couldn't help but reach out to protect her.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Ziyuan's face was stunned, and his steps suddenly became hesitant. At the moment of hesitation, she heard someone next to her smashing her mouth and laughing: "This General Guo is really a good blessing, look at the plain and cold appearance of the county lord of Akzhen, I didn't expect that once he became enthusiastic, he would be so charming and lovely." Looking at her demeanor, she was obviously attracted to General Guo. ”
"Yes, yes, this iceberg beauty is emotional, and it is even more unbearable." The tone of the two who spoke was light and rude, which made Zhong Ziyuan secretly angry.
She snorted heavily and strode forward, ignoring everyone's playful eyes that wanted to watch a good show, and said to Guo Chenghe, who had beads of sweat on her forehead: "The county lord of Akzhen is the proud daughter of the sky, how can the general let her get so drunk, if she hurts the county lord's noble body, wouldn't it be your or my sin!" ”
Waiting to see her jealous, everyone who sprinkled was disappointed. Unexpectedly, she actually accused Guo Chengsi of not taking good care of Akezhen, and with such an understatement, she had already made the difference between inside and outside clear.
When Guo Chengsi saw her, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he said with a bitter face: "You came just in time, come and help me." I didn't expect the county lord's amount of wine to be so shallow, only three glasses of honey wine, she couldn't stand, and she slid down to the ground as soon as I moved. ”
Zhong Ziyuan glared at him fiercely, endured the unhappiness in his heart, and took a few steps to grab Akzhen's other arm. Finally sat down, she whispered softly in Akzhen's ear: "If the county lord feels dizzy, rest on my shoulder for a while." ”
Akzhen squinted slightly, and the smell of wine was intoxicating. She snorted softly a few times, and sure enough, she leaned her head on Zhong Ziyuan's shoulder, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Zhong Ziyuan stretched out her hand to comb the messy hair on her sideburns, and unceremoniously instructed her personal maid, "Why don't you go and bring you the sobering soup for the county lord." By the way, you should put more old vinegar so that the effect is good. ”
The maid hesitated, but did not move.
Guo Chengsi's face sank, and he suddenly became angry and said, "How do you serve people? Could it be that your lord is drunk and out of shape? Don't go and bring the decanting soup yet. ”
The maid was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The general is angry, and the slave and maid will go and serve the sobering soup." ”
Looking at the back of the maid who fled in the wilderness, Zhong Ziyuan obviously felt that Akzhen's body stiffened. She couldn't help laughing secretly, telling you to try to seduce my man while I was away, and if I don't take the opportunity to pour you two large bowls of vinegar water later, I can't help you with your coy behavior.
Not long after, the maid tremblingly brought the decanting soup, Zhong Ziyuan picked up the bowl and put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it, frowned and said, "Didn't you put more old vinegar!" Why doesn't it taste sour at all? ”
The maid bit her lip and said timidly: "The county lord doesn't like to drink old vinegar!" ”
"Nonsense!" Zhong Ziyuan frowned and scolded: "This is a prescription for curing diseases, how can there be a reason to love to drink or not." Don't you want your lord to sober up soon? ”
Speaking of this, Zhong Ziyuan obviously felt that Akzhen's body moved. She hurriedly said: "You also saw how drunk the county lord was before, she couldn't even stand, if she didn't drink the sobering soup, it is estimated that she would not wake up until tomorrow morning." There will also be headaches, nausea and other discomforts. Can you bear to see the county lord so sad? As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that Akzhen was completely quiet.
While listening to Zhong Ziyuan's reprimand, the maid peeked at Akzhen's reaction, and saw that she was motionless from beginning to end, and Zhong Ziyuan became more and more aggressive. She had no choice but to say helplessly: "The noble man should not be angry, and the slave maid will recook a bowl of decanting soup." ”
Zhong Ziyuan said with satisfaction: "Hmm! Be quick, the sooner you drink sobering, the better the effect. ”
The maid retreated with a bitter face, and when she entered the main hall again, she was indeed brought a bowl of sour soup. (To be continued.) )
