Chapter 103: Between Husband and Wife
"Second sister, has she returned home?" Xiao Liangyun poured tea for him, handed him the teacup and said casually. "yes, I guess I'm still there, it seems that I plan to go back to live for a few days."
"Then why don't you join in the fun with them, but come to my palace to join in the fun."
"Isn't this to see that you are clean here, besides, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how you're doing."
"That's good, didn't you see that?" After pouring him tea, he turned sideways to the other side and continued to prune his flowers. "You have been very clean these days, I see that the second sister always has a bad complexion, unlike you, although you look thin, your complexion is still ruddy."
"Brother, don't laugh at me, I'm lucky to meet His Highness, His Highness has always treated me sincerely, and the people in the palace are loyal and honest, so I don't need too much scheming to plan anything like my sister."
"That's right, I thought that the prince was gentle and honest, and the seven kings were debauched, but who knows, it was the opposite, and the one who was not sensible was actually the prince. But it's good to think about it this way, at least you didn't suffer, so that my mother won't blame me for not taking good care of you. ”
Xiao Liangyu's body trembled, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Ling had not been by his mother's side since he was a child, and on the surface, he was the eldest son of the General's Mansion in this General's Mansion, but in fact, it was not his own reason, Xiao Yu never took the initiative to give him any benefits and status, he was excluded by Wang Huiyan since he was a child, but he has always insisted on surviving. And himself, although he followed his mother and his mother died, he was accompanied and trained by so many disciples from the underworld sect when he was a child, even if he was hated, he was also the person on the tip of Mu Fengqin's heart. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel guilty about this brother in her heart, "Brother." ”
"What's wrong, Hu'er? Are you uncomfortable? Do you need me to go out and report to the doctor? Xiao Ling saw that her expression was a little wrong, and thought it was her angina, so she immediately got up a little anxiously.
"No, brother, I'm fine. I'm just, just thinking about it for so many years, hard brother. ”
"You're kidding, we're a family."
"Well, family." Nodding violently, Xiao Liangyun's eyes moistened. "Silly sister, why are you crying? My brother didn't come here today with the intention of asking you to cry, I have other things to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Father said that my grandmother is getting old, and her body bones are getting weaker and weaker recently, and she wants me or my fourth sister to have a happy event, and my father has been choosing a husband for my fourth sister these days."
"It's ridiculous, Chong Xi actually believes in such a vulgar superstition, so why don't you pass it on to the imperial doctor?"
"My father and grandmother didn't think it was necessary."
"What about you, brother?"
"My marriage, harm, you also know, my marriage is also something I can't decide." Xiao Ling was a little speechless, "I naturally know, but Xiao Qingqing wants to get married, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yu, why does Xiao Yu want to make trouble at home." ”
"I don't know very well, but it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's power is getting weaker and weaker, and my father is getting more and more worried these days."
Of course he was worried, originally because Xiao Yu's daughter was able to make a difference on the treasure of the prince, but he didn't expect that the prince didn't like her, but he was getting colder and colder, and the prince's power was now getting weaker and weaker by Xiao Liangyu's secret box operation, but it was really difficult to tighten. Xiao Liangyun sneered, and suddenly heard a cat meow outside, Xiao Ling saw a pure white blue-eyed cat jump in outside the window, and the cat instantly jumped into Xiao Liangyun's arms and lay on his stomach. And Xiao Ling just looked at Xiao Liangyun and stroked the cat with a doting face.
"Huh? Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid of cats? ”
"Huh? No, no, no, I'm not afraid of cats, I just vaguely remember that you never touched cats when you were a child. ”
Yes, when Xiao Liangyu was born to the age of four or five, because Wang Huiyan raised a black cat, she and her mother had been bullied, every night, this black cat stared at its big round eyes, barked day and night, and used its paws to scratch her beloved little skirt, and scratched her mother's favorite books and picture albums.
When did you start getting a cat?
She thought for a while, and then smiled helplessly and said, "Brother, in fact, cats are not worth being afraid of, the most frightening thing is the human heart." ”
The two of them chatted casually in the house, and the chess game between He Lian and Zhu Ming outside the night was not over. "I said Zhu Ming, your chess skills are getting better and better!"
"Of course, I'm studying hard, right?"
"No, you must have a helper or a master behind the scenes, otherwise you have only been a few days, and your ability to perceive is so high, you have actually won three of them."
"Okay, let me tell you, I secretly learned a few tricks with your little princess a few days ago, I don't know what's going on, although your little princess played chess very well at the beginning, but it can't reach the point of being superb. But I don't know what's going on, since she came back to the palace, she must have learned some tricks from someone, you know. ”
"I know, of course I do." He Lianye said that he knew, but the vinegar sour taste of smoke in his heart obviously rushed out.
After Xiao Ling went back, he immediately walked back to the house from the courtyard, grabbed Xiao Liangyun and asked, "Who did you learn to play chess with?" ”
"Huh? No, I don't. ”
"It's not like I don't want you to play chess with others, I just, I just want to ask who taught you who taught you, you know."
"Huh?" Xiao Liangyun seemed to feel this different smell, and said in a long voice with a smug smile, "Me? Actually, I originally imagined that Your Highness would ask you for advice on how to play chess, but I knew that Your Majesty had a lot of opportunities, so I just found a friend and taught me a few tricks. ”
"Friends? Male or female? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me? How did I not know? ”
"Then since it's my friend, I naturally have the right not to tell His Highness, right?"
"Xiao, cool, water!"
"Well, people know it's wrong, and they can't pay you anymore." Xiao Liangyun immediately pouted and coquettishly pouted at him, this time it really made Helian nightly useless, and waved his hand again and again and said, "Okay, okay, I don't blame you Actually, I'm just afraid that you will be deceived You know, plus, I'm your husband, I, I'm just a little unhappy." ”
"Okay, I know, the person who taught me is a man, but I have nothing to do with him at all, what about me, I like you the most."
His face turned red suddenly by this series of confessions, "Well, so do I." ”
"Okay, my brother just came to talk to me about something, about the marriage of my fourth sister. In order to consolidate his power, my father is no longer satisfied with me and Xiao Yu, he knows, first, although my current momentum is on the rise, I did not give him a clear answer, and for now, you are still a prince, and the prince is still a prince. Second, although Xiao Yu is married to the crown prince, she does not have any actual power, most of the power in the palace still belongs to the concubine and him, and the rest of the power is probably intended to be handed over to the one who canonized the crown princess in two days. Therefore, Xiao Yu had to cultivate other forces, even the smallest ones would be useful to him. ”
"Actually, I suspected one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Come into the house and say." He glanced outside, and then pulled Xiao Liangyu back to the house, "When I was investigating the case, you told me that you had seen ruts in the warehouse in the Xiao Mansion, and Fu Shoufu, who should have been in the field, actually appeared in your Xiao Mansion for some reason, and then said some inexplicable words, I think Xiao Yu is making a deal with Fu Shoufu, and the content of the transaction is likely to be arms smuggling." However, I have no substantive evidence, if the rut marks and confessions you said alone are not enough to bring down Fu Shoufu, they may be beaten upside down, and all our efforts for so long will be in vain. ”
"I know, you can rest assured, since you have confessed to me, I will naturally confess to you."
"My mother is the eldest lady of the Liu family, and she is also the direct head of the Hades Gate, maybe my maternal grandmother is also a member of the Hades Gate, but I have never seen it. You should know a little bit about the Hades Gate, it is one of the best hermits in the rivers and lakes to practice poison, so when I first met you, why did I take the initiative to suck the knife poison on your body, because my physique is special, and it will not be eroded by ordinary poisons, even if it is a demon black grass. So for me, there is no difference between medicine and poison, and I also told you that the purpose of my return was to kill Xiao Yu. Although you were out of my plan because I didn't think I would fall in love with you, it was not planned, but it was also expected. I always feel that you have something to hide from me, maybe you have cultivated some kind of secret guard, and you may not be a disciple from any gate, but what I want to know is why you are willing to help me, and I went to Tianji Pavilion to get information about my life experience. ”
"How did you ......?"
"Don't forget, although Qiluo sneaked out at the request of my aunt to report that my whereabouts were tracked by Zhuqu, but Qiluo is one of the best shadows cultivated by my underworld after all, she knows that she is being followed, even if she doesn't have the tracking speed of Zhuqu's ghost step gate, she can find out where you have been and what you have done."
"Well done." He Lianye praised Xiao Liangyun's series of logical answers, "Of course, I can't interfere with your actions, I just want to know, why do you think that my mother's death has something to do with the death of the former queen?" ”
"Obviously, the timeline is the same, the cases involved are the same, and the person who accepts it is the same person."
"Fu Shoufu?"
"That's right."
