Chapter 43: The Moon of the Heavenly Mountains
"That's what you did to me!"
Huo Ming gritted his teeth and said this sentence, turned around and slapped his sleeves to leave, Rong Yuejin only recovered from shock and despair at this time, and hurriedly grabbed the hem of Huo Ming's clothes.
"Brother Huo, Brother Huo, I was wrong."
"You help me again, you help me one last time, I won't be able to live in the future!"
Huo Ming still stopped, he turned his head, his eyes as bright as a falcon were full of coldness, and he pulled out the hem of his clothes from Rong Yuejin's hand, "You never gave me a way to live from the beginning." β
After speaking, he left the Closed Moon Garden without looking back.
Rong Yuejin wore this in the capital for four or five days, and Rong Yunxi heard that she was locked in the house by herself, and she used any trick to commit suicide by hanging herself and taking poison, and she was saved every time.
Daddy didn't let Rong Yuejin die, and sent someone to send Rong Yuejin and Huo Yurou to live in Zhuangzi together.
It seems like it's doing it on purpose.
Rong Yunxi still remembers that her mother, Kou Shu, died of illness after giving birth to her.
But my father said that my mother had always been in good health before giving birth to her, and she had taken good care of her body after giving birth to her.
According to Daddy, it is unlikely that the mother will die suddenly.
Coupled with Daddy's attitude towards Rong Yan and Huo Yurou, is it ......
The more Rong Yunxi thought about it, the heavier her mind became, if her mother was really killed by Huo Yurou back then, looking at her father's attitude, if Rong Yan was also involved, all this would be clear.
And my father didn't find out the real reason for his mother's death, because Concubine Huo was favored in the harem back then, and the Huo family's forces covered the sky with one hand, so he couldn't investigate, and now he keeps Huo Yurou, either to overturn the case, or to ...... Torture.
According to time calculation, fifteen years ago, Uncle Yuan Qi was still studying in Guozijian, together with Qi Zhan.
After that, Huo Taifei died, Huo Yuanhua's father, Huo Qingruan, the former prime minister of the dynasty, was killed when Qi Zhan led his troops into the capital, and the Huo family fell into the middle of the road when the new emperor took the throne, and later Huo Yuanhua relied on sending his eldest daughter into the palace to sit on Huo Guifei's seat, and the Huo family regained momentum.
What happened more than ten years ago has to be investigated now...... It's really difficult.
Rong Yunxi sighed lightly, and when he was doppelgΓ€nger, he accidentally poked the silver needle into his finger, and a trace of blood came out and fell on the snow-white brocade.
"Miss!" Seeing this, Cui Wei hurriedly took the ointment over and gave Rong Yunxi a brief treatment, frowning slightly and worried, "Don't be distracted when you do work in the future, your fingers have been pricked several times, if this is seen by the eldest young master of Yuanqi, you have to be angry." β
Rong Yunxi deliberately teased her, "My uncle is angry, can he still beat me?" β
"Young Master Yuanqi is naturally reluctant to beat you." Cuiwei was speechless for a while, so she had to sigh lightly, "But if you want to do this again, I have to tell Master Hou that I won't let you go out!" There's no material, see what else you do. β
"Okay~" Rong Yunxi shook her shoulders at Cuiwei coquettishly, "Cuiwei, I'm wrong, don't tell my father, I quickly made this cloak and sent it to my uncle, it's going to be late autumn soon, I will go to Bashu again for a month later, and when I come back, I will have to congratulate him, and I can't catch up in time." β
"What about the embroidery in Luo's Silk Village?"
"Here, I've already done it, you can pick a day and take it to Shopkeeper Luo to see." If it's appropriate, let's go to my uncle and ask for money!" β
Cui Wei couldn't help laughing, "Young Master Yuanqi is really the eldest lady's portable silver village. β
Rong Yunxi smiled embarrassedly, and buried his head again to continue to make the cloak in his hand, using the best snow fox fur, snow-white brocade and delicate core-spun satin embroidery, a snow-white cloak embroidered with a bright red plum blossom, as if standing proudly in the snow.
It took almost half a month to make this cloak, and Luo Lingyun had already prepared a paper deed written in black and white.
Listening to Cuiwei, as soon as the shopkeeper Luo saw the embroidery done by the eldest lady, he decided on this business, the tailor shop in the capital will be contracted by the Luo family silk village and the eldest lady in the future, the eldest lady is responsible for the appearance, teaching the embroidery girl, and the shopkeeper Luo is responsible for buying and selling accounts.
Rong Yunxi put the official business after Chaohe, and before that she was going to Tianshan.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Rong Yunxi wrapped the cloak and went to the National Medical Mansion with Cuiwei.
Before the front porch had passed, Kou Yuanqi's voice floated out from the depths of the corridor, "Yunxi is here?" β
Rong Yunxi couldn't help but say: "This little stone is a little fast......"
Kou Yuanqi ordered someone to put away the cloak sent by Rong Yunxi and put it into his room, and when the two of them went to Kou Yuanqi's back garden Huxin Pavilion to sit down, Rong Yunxi saw a plate of snacks on the stone table, and asked casually, "Uncle Fang Cai has a guest here?" β
"Well, Qi Zhan has just been here."
Rong Yunxi asked, "And then?" β
Kou Yuanqi said, "But I drove him away." β
"Why?"
"He said that Yunxi would definitely come to visit me today, and he came on purpose."
Rong Yunxi helplessly supported his forehead, "I see." β
"Big young master, this is the moon cake that the eldest lady brought to you." Cuiwei put down the food box in her hand, Rong Yunxi looked away a little embarrassed when she saw this, coughed lightly, and said, "This ...... I'm not very good at making mooncakes. Uncle, don't dislike it. β
Kou Yuanqi showed a meaningful smile, his eyes casually glanced at his wall, and deliberately talked to Rong Yunxi for a full hour before Rong Yunxi left.
Qi Zhan, who was lying on the wall, had already gritted his teeth with envy, and as soon as he saw Rong Yunxi leave, he jumped in directly over the wall and rushed to Kou Yuanqi indignantly.
"I also want to eat mooncakes made by Ah Xi herself!"
"I also want the cloak made by Ah Xi herself!"
"Hmm~Hmm~" Kou Yuanqi nodded leisurely and said, "Then you can go to Yunxi yourself." β
"You just kicked me away!"
Kou Yuanqi stretched out his hand and picked up the last moon cake, which was snatched away by Qi Zhan, and glared at him viciously, "The last one is still grabbing it from me, you can be a person!" β
"If you don't go, you can't go," Kou Yuanqi looked at Qi Zhan with a smile and smiled badly.
"In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with you, Princess Yale chased me to my country's medical office. I don't want to make Yunxi unhappy, so I can only drive you away. β
Qi Zhan bit the moon cake, his expression was a little absent-minded, and his eyes drooped slightly.
"If she's not the daughter of the royal brother...... If my mother's death wasn't her mother's doing......"
As he spoke, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, on the street, Princess Yale was looking for Qi Zhan all over the street with Zisu, "Didn't Uncle Seven say that he was going to find a moon cake shop to buy moon cakes?" Why are people gone in a blink of an eye? β
Rong Yunxi left the National Medical Mansion, sat in the carriage back to Wudehou's Mansion, and talked to Cuiwei.
"We will leave for Bashu the day after tomorrow, pack up our things today and tomorrow, and tell my father."
Kou Yuanqi's side, she had already said it just now, Qi Zhan's ......
Rong Yunxi immediately shook his head and drove this thought out of his mind.
What is there to say to Qi Zhan!
Cuiwei saw through Rong Yunxi's thoughts, sighed slightly, and asked, "Doesn't the eldest lady say a word to the Seventh Prince?" Anyway, I went to find herbs for him. β
Rong Yunxi turned her head away, and her voice was muffled, "There's nothing to say, but it makes people feel that they owe us something." β
Cuiwei pouted dissatisfiedly, "Originally, he should accompany the eldest lady, Bashu is so dangerous!" β
Rong Yunxi frowned, "I don't want to ask him to go." β
Rong Yunxi didn't tell Qi Zhan about this matter, so he planned to go alone, but Kou Yuanqi didn't plan to do so.
When Qi Zhan finished eating the last bite of the mooncake and was about to leave without mercy, Kou Yuanqi threw out his bait, "Promise me one thing, I'll let Yun Xi make you a cloak." β
Qi Zhan's brows that had just been twisted were stretched out in an instant, "Say, I will definitely do it for you." β
"Yunxi will go to Tianshan with Cuiwei the day after tomorrow, and you will go with her."
Qi Zhan's eyes widened in shock when he heard this, "You actually let me go for this kind of thing?" Who said I wasn't a good person anymore? β
Kou Yuanqi rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, "Cuiwei, I have other arrangements, otherwise I wouldn't have called you." β
"And you can't show your face."
Qi Zhan's face changed slightly, and he said dissatisfiedly, "You can only watch it, you can't eat it, this is too frustrating, right?" β
"You're not the only one going." Kou Yuanqi said lightly, his voice was very cold, and his eyes were hidden in the goose feather snow and the most bitter cold wind in winter, "I want to ensure that Yunxi can come back without fail." β
Qi Zhan looked away, "I'll just kidding, I don't need you to say that I will also keep an eye on Ah Xi's movements." β
Kou Yuanqi pinched the book in his hand into a cylinder and threw it at Qi Zhan, and his unfazed eyes showed a rare trace of anger, "You calculate me? β
Qi Zhan took the book steadily, and returned it to Kou Yuanqi, "This is the punishment for you to only leave me a moon cake." β
As he spoke, his good-looking brows furrowed again, "And I went to Ah Xi to ask for a cloak, and she didn't make it for me, hey......"
Kou Yuanqi snorted coldly, opened the medical book and read it again, "Anyway, take care of the person for me, otherwise I will ask you." β
"Of course," the corners of Qi Zhan's mouth raised, and a dangerous look gradually appeared in his eyes, like a wolf about to pounce on its prey in the dark night, "Then when I come back, you can almost solve it here, right?" β
Kou Yuan Qi Xiumei raised slightly, glanced at Qi Zhan, and said coldly, "I don't need to do it, he can't survive Chaohe." β
"Good."
Qi Zhan's bright eyes seemed to be clouded with fog, becoming more and more elusive.
The day before leaving, Cuiwei helped Rong Yunxi pack up her clothes and walked in front of Rong Yunxi, her face a little delicate.
"Miss, the slave may not be able to accompany you to the Tianshan Mountains the day after tomorrow."
"What happened to Uncle Yuanqi?"
Cuiwei nodded, "The eldest young master has been busy dealing with a case in the past two days, and he has to deal with everything before Chaohe. β
Rong Yunxi didn't say anything, just said lightly, "Well, you be careful." β
"Okay."
Cuiwei was not worried that Rong Yunxi had no arrangements here, so she retreated after answering.
Rong Yunxi looked at the bags packed in front of him, and went outside to call Ah Qing in.
Ah Qing used to be called Mo Qing, and after Rong Yuejin's incident, Rong Yunxi asked Mo Qing from her father's study to be her first-class girl.
After careful questioning, I learned that Ah Qing's family was poor, and her mother was seriously ill at that time and needed money urgently, so she did this kind of thing.
After Rong Yunxi found out, she immediately took Cuiwei to Ah Qing's house to see her mother, and now her mother's illness has gradually improved, and Ah Qing is also very grateful to Rong Yunxi.
