Chapter 269: Entanglement
Ling Kite, the back alley of the prince's mansion, it rained again and again, and the street was unusually cold, but there were two gorgeous oil-paper umbrellas in the alley in the rain, and the eyes moved downward, and the people under the umbrella were more gorgeous.
"Why did my mother come to me in person, life in the prince's mansion is not easy now, my mother came rashly, but she gave Pei Bai trouble."
The drizzling rain hit the oil-paper umbrella, let's click, the woman dressed in a flamboyant dress was opposite Yu Peibai, and I could tell from her words that this was the old bustard of the Chunhong Building, and Yu Peibai's previous old boss had found it.
The old bustard laughed.
"I heard about the assassination of the crown princess and Princess Jing, saying that the maid next to the crown princess was tricked, and the whole hand is gone, the crown princess and Princess Jing have been investigating who assassinated recently, and those who have intersections with other continents in the house are not spared, Pei Bai, you still have dealings with corrupt people when you were in the Chunhong Mansion, I am afraid that this day is not very easy.
Mom is also worried, I wrote to you to greet you before, but I can't always receive your reply, I can treat you as my own daughter, so I'll see for myself. ”
What the old bustard said seemed to be true, but those eyes were not real, Yu Peibai didn't believe it, and there was no expression on his face.
Running the Chunhong Mansion for many years, all kinds of people have never seen anything, the old bustard saw at a glance that Yu Peibai's attitude was not as good as before, and he was perfunctory and impatient with her, and the smile on his face dropped a little, and he didn't come to accompany the smiling face.
"Thank you for your mother's care, Pei Bai hasn't affected much, after all, a little concubine, living quietly in this prince's mansion, no one will pay attention to me if I don't fight, not to mention being involved in those disputes, Chunhong Mansion is busy with business, my mother might as well go back and take care of it quickly, my mother and Pei Bai are also inconvenient, and my mother will not bother to run to this prince's mansion in the future."
Before he said a few words, Yu Peibai was going to drive people away, how could the old bustard rely on it, laughing and waving his hand as if he didn't understand, and it didn't hurt to say it.
"Where did you get any business in this daytime, you can be a little busier at night, not to mention today's rainy day, but it's a good day to sleep, and now the business of Chunhong Mansion is also a lot bleaker, you should not know, after you came to this prince's mansion, the business of this Chunhong Mansion is going down, and I don't know if it's because of the loss of your top brand, or because of the hot and impetuousness of summer, this man doesn't like the place where Yingying Yanyan is, Mom, I~ But I have thought of a lot of ways, but this effect is very small~"
Yu Peibai stood under the rain with an umbrella, a lotus-colored robe on his body, a long black and smooth hair draped behind him, and a simple bun embellished with elegant beads, and his gentle appearance looked like a Jiangnan person, but this look did not have the gentle charm of a Jiangnan person, and the depths of his eyes were not friendly to the bustard in front of him.
How did she not understand the bottom meaning of the bustard's words, and when she heard that she was a concubine, she began to write letters from the two ends of three days, saying this and that, for fear that she would forget that the bustard had helped her before.
Yu Peibai didn't have such an attitude in the early stage, became a concubine and rose the monthly example, took out a part of it and picked a few of the rewards she got to thank the bustard, I don't want the bustard to be dissatisfied, the letters sent are still frequent, and the words are full of wanting to ask her to help Chunhong Mansion publicize.
Yu Peibai can't wait to erase the things he has been in the Qinglou forever, completely erase! This old bustard still wants her to help promote the Chunhong Mansion, it's a fool's dream!
This began to ignore her, but attracted people.
"The reputation of Chunhong Mansion is the loudest among the peers in this Huicheng, my mother is afraid that she is joking, Pei Bai is even more virtuous, how can she affect the business of Chunhong Mansion, I am afraid that most of them are lazy in the summer, and they don't want to come out, if Pei Bai gets the opportunity, since he chatters with others about Chunhong Mansion, help some mothers."
When the words fell, the old bustard under the big peony on his clothes smiled more enthusiastically, and his eyes were like a crescent moon, and the person in front of him was clearly different from the Mrs. Zhu who bullied her in her memory, but she always hooked that face, arousing the resentment and viciousness in her heart.
"Oops! Then I have to thank us Yu Xuan, oops, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's our Peibai. ”
The old bustard smiled and spit out the word Yu Xuan, and then reacted and glared at Pei Bai, I really don't know if it was a mistake or deliberate.
Yu Peibai's face was instantly ugly, his eyes added a lot of threatening meanings, and he looked at the embarrassed old bustard, and his whole person became sharper.
"This is different from the past, my mother has to be cautious in her words and deeds, and there are some things that my mother should forget about quickly."
Seeing Yu Peibai's clearly changed look, the old bustard accompanied her smiling face again and again, Yu Peibai closed his gaze and stopped looking at her, and said coldly.
"It seems to be raining harder, Mom will come back."
Turned around and walked a few meters into the back door of the prince's mansion, leaving the old bustard still in the back alley with a stinky face.
The moment Yu Peibai turned around, the old bustard turned cold, rolled his eyes at the back door of the prince's mansion, and muttered in his mouth.
"But when I became a concubine, when I became the princess, the people who have been soaked in the stinky jar, no matter how clean they are, the stench that penetrates deep into the bones can't be washed away, and besides, it's not very clean, hum! Zhu Yuxuan. ”
Walking on the street with a bright red oil-paper umbrella, enjoying the crackling raindrops in her ears, walking enchantingly, some puffy hands holding orchid fingers and carrying the clothes of the big peony embroidered on her body, like walking on the red carpet, but there was no one on the street, she could only walk the catwalk to show the air.
A few dark shadows broke through under the rain and fog, and disappeared in the blink of an eye on the street, leaving only a ripple on the stone road.
The rain flashed rapidly, and the dripping raindrops slowed down on them, only a thin layer of rain mist covered them, and the broken hair on their faces was more like being wet with sweat.
The black shadow shuttled through the empty streets, and finally stopped in front of the county lord's mansion, which had not been open for a long time, stepped on the steps and stood in front of the mansion gate, wiped a handful of rain on his face, and finally was able to see clearly, it was the ink shadow and the hidden guards that had not been seen for a long time.
Mo Ying raised his hand and grabbed the copper ring of the gate, and the door of the mansion was snapped, and the heavy door was opened with a creak, and the hidden guard who opened the door knew that Cai Wenxi would go directly to Jingang to participate in the Shenwu Conference, and he would definitely not be able to come back at this time, but he couldn't help but fantasize that Cai Wenxi was back.
Seeing the faces of Mo Ying and the other hidden guards at the gate of the mansion, they immediately reacted, they were here to find the floating monk who sent someone to kill Cai Wenxi and then came back.
"What news has come back from the county lord's side during this time?"
Mo Ying stepped into the mansion, stared at the hidden guard who opened the door and asked, and kept stepping into the mansion and went to their room.
The hidden guard replied, telling Mo Ying everything about the news that had been sent back recently, the rain from the sky was getting heavier and heavier, but Mo Ying and the others didn't care at all, and when they heard that Cai Wenxi was going to go directly to the Shenwu Conference, they suddenly paused, their eyebrows furrowed, obviously not at ease.
"The county lord only has more than a dozen or twenty people at hand, how can I go to water chestnut enough."
The hidden guards who followed behind continued to talk, and there were still some hidden guards who were looking for Lord Ling Shun who could answer the county lord.
The black clothes on his body were completely wet, and Mo Ying finally took another step, went back to the courtyard and stayed under the porch, letting the other hidden guards go to rest first, but he went back to the room to write a letter, not slack at all, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all when he was wet and sticking to his body.
{The county lord, the subordinates have rushed back to Lingyu, and the subordinates of the floating monk who sent someone to kill the county lord have been caught and interrogated, and he said that the matter of sending someone to kill the county lord was done by Zhu Yuxuan to confuse him, but there is one thing, the third prince of Hui Yan ascended the throne as the emperor, and Zhu Yuxuan was his side concubine, and he died of illness before the third prince ascended the throne, and his subordinates were incompetent, and he was about to ask what the name of Zhu Yuxuan's incarnation was? Where are you hiding? But the floating monk ran away, he used the magic of witchcraft, and his subordinates couldn't find it, and now he came back to check Zhu Yuxuan, and he would have some eyebrows in the near future. }
The rain fell on the rice paper, fainting the words that had just been written, and Mo Ying realized that it was time to change his clothes, so he quickly wiped the sweat towel and changed his clothes and rewrote it, wrapped the oil paper and asked the hidden guard in charge of transmitting the message to send it to the rot, and the rainy day was not delayed at all.
Let the hidden guards never rest for two hours, standing in the courtyard and shouting and coming to distribute tasks, the appearance of the floating monk, the identity, etc. told the hidden guards, and after the assignment, they went out of the house to check the women that the floating monk had come into contact with when he was a young kite, and he must find Zhu Yuxuan, and he said yes in unison, and Yu Peibai, who was nested on the bed with a thin quilt, sneezed loudly.
Pulled the handkerchief in his hand and blew his nose heavily, slandering that the old bustard was really a broom star, and seeing her caused him to be infected with the wind cold, it was clear that the rain was not drenched at all, when was the body so weak?
The maid pushed the door in with the hot ginger soup, there was no wind on a rainy day, it was unusually hot, Yu Peibai still closed the door and closed the windows here, and put on a thin quilt on the collapse, the maid looked at the hot ginger soup, and looked down at this bowl of hot ginger soup, it was hard to imagine that she had to drink this.
"Concubine Yu, the ginger soup is ready, the concubine should drink it while it is hot, and it will be good to have typhoid fever after drinking."
Yu Peibai threw aside the handkerchief full of snot, blew it briefly through the ginger soup with both hands, and poured it down, this throat is also powerful, I'm afraid it will be iron.
"By the way, Concubine Yu, there is another letter today, no one has signed, the concubine was not in the house when the letter came, the slave maid put it on the table for you first, and the concubine wants to take a look now."
Raised his head and drank the ginger soup, raised a face and spit out a big breath of hot air, put the bowl on the tray, his body was immediately hot, listening to no signature, he thought of the few that made her very big now, and her face was more ugly, so she asked the maid to bring the letter and send the person out, until the door was closed again, then she took out the letter paper to see, seeing that her flushed face was getting stiffer and stiffer, and the newly repaired sharp nails directly pinched out several holes in the corners of the letter.
"Recently, I haven't even seen the prince in person a few times, so you still want me to find out which ministers the prince is meeting with? Scold! No, no, such a situation is bound to be impossible, one or two take me as a spy, take me as a relative to trouble, again and again, but never stop. ”
