Chapter 423: Back to North City
The tower that Emperor Su Fang wanted to build was rare in Xiyue, but it was only more than three zhang old at the moment, and it was still far from the tower he had ordered to be built, but it collapsed.
The stones fell off, and the craftsmen below were in a mess, fleeing, running, but someone still took a step slower and smashed the big stone above his head, and his body suddenly fell to the ground, and his head broke and bled out. When the smoke and dust cleared, the officers and soldiers searched everywhere, and finally pulled the two people out from under the rocks.
Fortunately, only two ordinary craftsmen died, and although the official in charge of building the tower broke out in a cold sweat, after the people below counted the roster one by one and told him the specific number of casualties, his hanging heart was put down again. Emperor Su Fang is also still sick, and after this matter is good, it will pass.
He made the money counted, gave the unexpected craftsman's family a pension, and found two people to shirk the responsibility for the matter, and let the matter pass.
However, the movement of the collapse of the tower was not small, and there were also deaths, so the news could not be hidden from the world, and it did not take long for it to spread all over Kyoto, and everyone knew about it. People come and go in Dongcheng, and the news is the most chaotic, Xie Shuning and Yan Huai each have someone to inquire about the news outside, and this matter reached their ears on the same day.
When Xiao Qi sent the news, she was talking to Yan Huai about Emperor Su Fang's illness in the room.
As soon as Qingxu died, Emperor Su Fang quit those pills, and the imperial doctor carefully regulated them, but Emperor Su Fang's illness did not improve. The wine hollowed out his body, and there was no more than a ball of cotton wool inside, and it was so weak that it was tight. The disease came like a mountain. I'm afraid it's hard to get better for a while.
The sudden collapse of the tower also seems to indicate some kind of mystery in the dark.
Yan Huai finished reading the note in his hand, and said. I'm afraid that this matter will be used by people with a heart to make a big fuss.
When a cloud of purple gas comes out of the sky, it can be said to be an auspicious omen, and now that Emperor Su Fang is sick, the tower he is bent on building will collapse again, and it will inevitably be said to be a bad omen.
Xie Shuning lazily crooked on the beauty couch, threw away the fan in his hand when he heard the words, sat up straight and said, "This is not good." ”
Emperor Su Fang has been confused in recent days, and he has done a lot of things. It is already enough to make people criticize, if someone talks about this matter this time, this disaster will definitely not only affect Emperor Su Fang. Change of throne. Which time does not shed blood without the dead? If those princes moved their minds and each stepped in sideways, it would be difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne smoothly.
"The Bai family's side. It should be time to get a letter to the imperial concubine. Yan Huai bowed his head. raised an eyebrow, "The emperor didn't look good before, but at least he was healthy, but now, the imperial concubine has to change her mind." ”
Xie Shuning twisted the tassel on the handle of the fan, narrowed her eyes slightly, and muttered: "The more this is the case, the more Niangniang's side will be inseparable from the support of the Bai family." ”
Talking. Suddenly there were two "tuk tuk" sounds outside the door.
Immediately, Xiao Qi's voice sounded outside. "Master, King Jing invites you to eat and drink."
Since the last time Ji Yun and Yan Huai met, the two have not seen each other for many days, they are busy with their own affairs, and they rarely contact each other.
Xie Shuning took off her shoes, stood up, walked to Yan Huai's side and took the robe for him, and said: "You are secretly investigating him, he must have checked you a lot, and now he suddenly invites you out, I'm afraid it's almost done." ”
Yan Huai chuckled, turned his head and raised his head to ask in a loud voice, "Have you ever set a place?" ”
"It's settled." Xiao Qi's voice outside the door seemed to hesitate slightly, and then he said in a muffled voice, "It's set in Fugui Lane." ”
"......" Yan Huai looked at Xie Shuning, who was tying his belt, and touched his nose, "Why don't I let someone change places?" ”
What kind of place is Fugui Lane, everyone in Kyoto knows that at night, the fragrant breeze blows on the face, and the flowers are red and willow green everywhere. However, to talk about things and avoid people's eyes, Fugui Lane is naturally the most suitable place. Xie Shuning didn't think much about it, but when she heard Yan Huai say this, she couldn't help but tease him and said, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to control it yourself?" ”
"I'm afraid that Senior Brother he won't be able to control ......" Yan Huai muttered, suddenly lowered his head and bit her lip lightly, "I only lost control like this when I saw you......"
Xie Shuning asked him to say that his face was slightly drunk, and he quickly withdrew his hand from his waist: "Okay, don't make people wait." ”
Yan Huai looked at her and smiled, laughing so much that she was helpless, and pushed him out: "Let's go, let's go, I have to go to Beicheng too." ”
"Can you bring that ginseng?" Yan Huai went out the door and asked her while opening the door.
Xie Shuning nodded, "I've brought everything I should have brought." ”
Yan Huai went out with confidence, and Xie Shuning also called Qingfei to come in and wait for him to change his clothes.
Although Mr. Yun Zhan's illness has been improving, it is not obvious, for twelve hours a day, he is awake only for one time, and most of the rest of the time is groggy and asleep. Lu Kong went to take a look, the medicine was also prescribed, and the needle was pricked, but the effect was slow. Xie Shuning asked Lu Kong if Mr. Yun Zhan's illness had worsened. Lukong said no, and it has indeed been improving. The reason why he is like this is because his heart is depressed.
In other words, Mr. Yun Zhan's physical illness can be cured, but there is no medicine for this heart disease.
He has something hidden in his heart, and he is restless day and night, so naturally he can't get better. is a good person who is in good health, and he is troubled by his heart day and night, and his body has to collapse, let alone like Mr. Yun Zhan.
He is already old, has old diseases, and now has heart diseases, where can he get better.
However, Mr. Yun Zhan's mouth is a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, and it is not easy to ask him to reveal his heart to others. Xie Shuning and Yun Guihe mentioned this matter carefully, but even he, who grew up with Mr. Yun Zhan since he was a child, couldn't understand what Mr. Yun Zhan was thinking.
Even if they chased and asked, Mr. Yun Zhan would not mention it.
Xie Shuning had no choice but to let Lu Kong use medicine to condition his body better.
Yesterday, there was a letter from the house, and my mother mentioned Mr. Yun Zhan's illness in the letter, so she thought about going to find out in person today. Yan Huaiyuan also wanted to go with her, but since Ji Jun was invited, he naturally had to take care of that side first.
She led Qingfei out of the door with her things. Xiao Qi drove the carriage to Beicheng.
Unexpectedly, not long after entering Beicheng, he encountered a funeral procession.
The carriage retreated to the side, and Qing Fei lifted a corner of the curtain and asked Xiao Qi, "Did you come out of Shijing Hutong?" ”
"It's Miss Xie Jiajiu." Xiao Qi said.
Qingfei lowered the curtain and said nothing. Retreating into the carriage, he looked at Xie Shuning and said softly, "It's the Xie family." ”
Xie Shuning closed her eyes, let out a faint "um", and did not speak.
Only then did she know that it was today......
Xie Yuanmao is still alive, the old lady of the long house is also alive, and the eldest lady and her third uncle are still alive. They are all still alive, but Xie Shumin is dead.
Not long after they left the Xie family, the third lady Jiang took the sixth girl, Xie Zhiruo and Xie Shumin, back from the nunnery. Now, too, it's been a while. She had the intention to avoid the Xie family, but she still paid attention to the movements of the Xie family. She had to guard against the bunch of cannibals who didn't spit out bones. One day, suddenly the devil went crazy and came to them again.
Fortunately, the Xie family has no time to take care of themselves. But there has been no movement.
When she left the cabinet, the Xie family sent someone to join in the fun, and she knew it, so after that, she let people stare at the Xie family for a while.
Therefore, the news of Xie Shumin's accident also reached her ears as soon as possible.
Xie Shumin's purpose for coming back was to leave the nunnery, and the other must be for them.
But before Xie Shumin came back. They had already left the Xie family.
It's a pity, Xie Shumin is full of resentment. And so it was empty. The third room has withered, and only the crazy Xie Yuanmao remains, and there is a little Zhou who was forced by the old lady of the long room to stay by Xie Yuanmao's side. Although Xie Shumin was taken back to the house by the Jiang family, she was not a child of the long house, so she could only go back to the third room.
Xiao Zhou doesn't like her, and she doesn't like Xiao Zhou.
After going back and forth, the two got into a grudge.
Xiao Zhou stayed in the third room for a long time, and it seemed that his brain was not very normal, so he instigated Xie Yuanmao to take a stone and smash Xie Shumin to death.
The huge Xie family, Xie Yuanmao only listened to her.
She asked him to smash it, and he smashed it, smiling and smashing all the time.
The third room can no longer be inhabited, and the old lady of the long room asked Xie Yuanmao to secretly send Xie Yuanmao to live in the grange, and beat Xiao Zhou to death, so this matter was covered.
But Xie Shumin couldn't be rescued in the end, so the old lady made up a lie about falling into the water and drowning, and hurriedly mourned.
Suddenly, the funeral procession gradually moved away.
Xie Shuning opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and said, "Let's go." ”
Xiao Qiyi raised the horsewhip, the horse's hooves clicked and sounded, and they entered the Green Lantern Lane.
Qing Fei got out of the carriage first, said "huh", turned around to help Xie Shuning, and said suspiciously: "There are guests in the house." ”
Xie Shuning fixed his eyes and saw a bare carriage parked in front of him.
She looked at it a few times and laughed, "What other guests can there be in the house?" "Except for Wang Ren, no one will run to Beicheng all day long.
When I entered the door, sure enough, it was Wang Ren.
She saw Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu talking together, and she knew that Wang Ren was here for a while. She turned back to Xiao Qi behind her and smiled and said, "You send the things to the next door first, and when you come back, you can also go and rest together, Qingfei too, go down to find Yuzi and a few people to talk, you don't have to follow." ”
Qing Fei answered, and then helped her lift the curtain and send her in, and then retreated.
The Song family inside had already heard the movement, and hurriedly greeted him: "Why did you come back today?" ”
"My mother's house is close, what does it matter if I move around more."
Before Xie Shuning could speak, she heard a familiar voice coming from the corner.
She smiled and explained to Song: "Come and see Master, thinking that Master should still be asleep this time, I will come to see you first." While looking inside, he met Wang Ren.
Song was happy to see her, left her to eat, and said that he would cook himself.
Wang Ren also watched her go with a smile, saying that he would accompany Xie Shuning to talk and let her go.
Who knew that as soon as this person left, he smiled and said coolly: "When he is still newlywed, Yan'er runs to his mother's house all day long, is there something wrong with him?" (To be continued......)
