(154) The heart of the bridge (3)
Cen Xi left, and I didn't stay in the palace for long, so I got in the carriage and went home.
Wang Jie had already received the news that we were going back to the house today, and he had been standing outside the gate waiting for us, and as soon as he saw me get out of the carriage, he immediately greeted me.
"Master." Wang Jie's shout was a little hoarse, he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look up at me.
"Xiao Jie? I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but you're getting more and more handsome. I joked with him, trying to ease the frozen atmosphere between us.
"The master doesn't want to take his subordinates with him when he goes to Jiangnan, and he doesn't want to take his subordinates with him when he goes to Qiguo, the master is...... Tired of your subordinates? Or are you still haunted by the affairs of Tuzhou? Wang Jie finally raised his head, but his cold eyes were full of self-blame, chagrin, and worry that could not be hidden.
I was slightly stunned by his gaze, and then shook my head and smiled.
With a fan in my hand and a knock on his right shoulder, I held back a smile and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all the dust was washed all the way, I came to the study and called Wang Jie and Sun Hu in by the way.
"Is the girl I brought back already housed?" I first asked Sun Hu, who was closer to me.
Sun Hu nodded, "I have settled down according to the instructions of the son, and the injuries on her body have been quietly looked at by the doctors in the house and given medicine." ”
"That's good." Letting go of a matter of concern, I then turned my head to look at Wang Jie, who was still making trouble there, and asked with a smile, "Madame, you should have been taken back to Wei Yinghou's mansion three days ago, right?" Did the journey go well? ”
Wang Jie actually didn't want to pay attention to me, but on the one hand, I was his master, and he couldn't disobey me, on the other hand, I looked at him with such a kind smile, and he was not too embarrassed to slap my face, so he could only reply, "Madame, everything is safe, and there is no obstacle on the road." ”
"That's good." I nodded reassuringly.
"But......" Wang Jie hesitated, but still told me, "Master Hou was on the way back, because the second lady, the second young master and the lady were arguing, and the master wanted to persuade him to fight, but he accidentally fell off the carriage and broke his leg. ”
"The second lady, the second young master and my mother are arguing?" I immediately frowned, "Why are they arguing?" My mother has suffered a loss? Were you hurt by those two shrews? ”
Wang Jie paused, a little unsure of how to answer me.
It seems that his focus is not on this......
"That's it, I'll go there myself tomorrow." I saw that Wang Jie didn't answer, and I didn't ask questions.
"Childe." Sun Hu has been suppressing the question in his heart for a long time, and now is a good opportunity, "Is that girl the assassin who assassinated you?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded faintly.
"Since you're an Assassin, why did you bring it back to the mansion?" Sun Hu was puzzled, and raised his eyes to look at me, "And as far as I know, she should still be in the prison of Dali Temple now, how can she appear in the envoy team?" ”
"Well...... "Well," I thought, "she's not really an assassin, she's just a dancing girl with a little bit of martial arts." ”
"On that day, I made a deal with her. She pretended to be an assassin to assassinate me, giving me the opportunity to force Emperor Qi to summon me, and I was setting her sisters free from the oppression of the court. ”
Thinking of the scene of rescuing her from prison that day, I still can't help but sigh.
I had warned her in advance that it would not be wise to cooperate with me, not to mention what kind of torture she would be subjected to in prison, or even whether she would survive her life.
Besides, I wasn't sure I could save her.
But she is such a weak girl, but her heart is very firm, she stabbed me, she can endure the cruel interrogation of Dali Temple, and she has not confessed anything.
Almost half of her life has been put into it, her delicate appearance is gone, her dancing posture is ruined, and she can only be regarded as a half-crippled person now.
To be honest, I really admire her self-sacrificing, big and fearless spirit.
There is true love in the world, and this kind of "sisterhood" should also be a gorgeous chapter in the love of the world, right?
"The night before we were about to leave for Qinguo, I went to the prison of Dali Temple alone, brought her back, asked Du Rong to give her a little easier appearance, and then hid in the envoy's team and brought her back to Qinguo."
After listening to my explanation, Sun Hu still had a vague feeling, and he opened his mouth to ask me, "The Dali Temple of Qiguo is heavily guarded, how did you take her out of the prison, Gongzi?" It can't be that they deliberately let you in and let you out, right? “
I looked at Sun Hu and couldn't help but smile, "They deliberately let me in, and they deliberately let me out." ”
"Huh?" Sun Hu was surprised.
"I have a three-day deadline to let them find out the cause and effect of the assassin's assassination of me, they can't find out, so they can only ask General Chen Kun to come to me, I said that I can ignore this matter for the time being, but I have to bring the assassin back to Qinguo for personal interrogation, Chen Kun deduced that Emperor Qi had ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and they couldn't openly hand people over to me, so I followed his hint and went to rob the prison at night."
“......”
They just see that it's your old tricks, and they don't bother to bother anymore, right? Qiandu Chinese Network
"Alright, is there anything else you have to say or ask? If not, I will have to rest, and I will suffer from the bumpy road. I got up and raised my hand and tapped my sore shoulder.
Su Hu and Wang Jie glanced at each other, and they both saluted and withdrew.
"Why did you walk so fast, and you haven't seen anyone come to pinch my shoulder?" Seeing that they didn't say a word and left the study, I wondered if I was hinting too much.
Shaking my head, I followed myself out of the study and tossed and turned to a guest room.
After a little hesitation, I pushed open the door and walked in.
Everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion is simple, and there is no particularly elaborate arrangement in the guest room, only a small screen can be seen behind the screen, and the woman sleeping quietly on the bed can be seen behind the screen.
"Why pretend to be asleep when you're awake?" I stood on the edge of the bed and sighed slightly.
With an injury like hers, I'm afraid it's going to hurt so much that I can't sleep every night, right?
The woman on the bed opened her eyes slightly, and her pale and colorless face was as calm as water.
"Your Excellency is full of official duties, so why do you need to spend time visiting me?"
I sat down at the head of her bed and reached out to pull the slippery quilt for her.
"If you are willing to stay in Qi Kingdom, Mei Yan will definitely be able to heal your injuries."
Nishang shook her head lightly, "My face is ruined, I don't have to be disturbed anymore, I can't dance, and I can forget everything that happened earlier." My misfortunes are all caused by them, and now I don't need to try to get them back. Qi Guo...... The sad place can't stay for long, and now that my sisters are in the country of Qin, there is nothing left for me to remember in the country of Qi. ”
You can't stay in the place of sadness for long......
I sighed in my heart.
Before trading with Nishang, I sent someone to find out all her background.
She was born in a merchant family, the daughter of a concubine, although her status was not high, but she could live a safe and smooth life, but in the middle of the family, his father in order to pay off the debt, sold her to the land of fireworks, and since then she has spent five years in chaos there.
Later, she fell in love with a wealthy and noble son who frequently showed favor to her, but people's hearts have always been cold, and the gentleman still let down her infatuation after all, in order to forget this sad thing, she has been practicing dance desperately for three years, and finally God has mercy, and she was recommended to the palace.
I thought that the palace was widowed, and life would not be as difficult as before, who would have thought that this palace was not a good place, she was just a lowly dancing girl after all, and her life was not up to her, and people were not up to herself.
"If you don't have any other places to go, just stay here for the time being, and when you have a place you want to go in the future, Benxiang will send someone to send you there."
Nishang nodded slightly and replied, "Okay." ”
"Then you have a good rest, and the original appearance will go out first." I stood up and prepared to get out of here.
Nishang still nodded, but when I pushed the door open and walked out, she suddenly mustered up the courage to ask me, "My lord, why did you risk coming to save me that day?" I have promised you that I will not blame you for life and death. ”
I shook my head and smiled, and closed the door quietly.
Nishang didn't hear my answer, but somehow she actually smiled, just laughing and laughing, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and instantly wet the broken hair around her ears.
It's so good, it turns out that she can still meet such a person in her life.
When I came out of the room, I went into my bedroom and fell asleep, and I slept so deeply that I did not get up from my bed in a hurry until the next day, when the sun was rising.
"Childe, Childe!" Sun Hu knocked on the door eagerly, as if something terrible had happened.
"What's wrong?" I opened the porter and looked at him in bewilderment.
When Sun Hu saw me, his panic was barely suppressed, and he urged me, "Childe, go to the reception hall to have a look, six ...... The sixth princess is here, and she is throwing a tantrum there to see you! ”
"Six princesses?" Stunned, I shrank behind the door a little timidly, "Why is she here?" Her brother hasn't even found her yet! ”
"Childe, don't hide, you dodge, it's us who suffer." As soon as Sun Hu saw that I was going to hide back, and no matter what etiquette and humility I had, he pulled me out from behind the door, and pushed me towards the reception hall, staring at my movements, not giving me a chance to escape.
Can anyone tell me whether it is a blessing or a curse to have such a subordinate......
was pushed into the reception hall by Sun Hu all the way, and I didn't even have a chance to breathe before I was looked at by Cen Yuhe.
"Shen Qingzhi." Cen Yuhe lifted her skirt and ran in front of me.
I smiled politely and saluted her, "Weichen has seen the sixth princess. ”
