Chapter 54: The Storm is Coming
"Holy Lord, where are you going tonight?" You Dexing brought a ginseng soup and put it in Mu Jianyu's hand, and the flickering candlelight made the roots of Mu Jianyu's sideburns and white hair shine.
"Go...... Let's go see Xiao Guifei. After speaking, Mu Jianyu drank the ginseng soup in one gulp, stood up and moved his muscles and bones.
The deep palace in the middle of the night is like ink, Mu Jianyu did not sit in a sedan chair, once when Concubine Yun entered the prince's mansion, he also went to Concubine Yun's bedroom like this, and now that Concubine Yun has passed away, what he wants to visit is the woman whose temperament is very similar to Concubine Yun, and her appearance is also somewhat similar.
did not allow the palace people to pass it on, Mu Jianyu walked into the silent dormitory alone, and was so shocked that Qingxing hurriedly knelt down: "The slave maid doesn't know that the saint has arrived, and the saint forgives the sins." ”
"Get up." Mu Jianyu didn't pursue it, bypassed Qingxing, sat on the edge of Zhang Wan's couch, looking at Zhang Wan's sleeping appearance, Mu Jianyu couldn't help touching Zhang Wan's hair, "How is Concubine Xiao these days?" ”
"Back to the saint, the master has been much better these days, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is being drunk every day, but the imperial doctor said that the master is too tired and needs a lot of rest, so he can't get up to greet the holy car, please forgive the saint." Qingxing didn't dare to get up.
"Get up." Mu Jianyu glanced at Qingxing, who was still kneeling on the ground, "I'm thirsty, go pour me a glass of water." ”
may have heard the sound of conversation, Zhang Wan slowly opened her eyes, and dimly saw Mu Jianyu's vague appearance, unconsciously frightened, and felt in a trance that she was dreaming: "Qingxing ......"
Hearing her master's voice, Qingxing hurriedly squatted down and leaned on Zhang Wan's lips, and Zhang Wan's faint voice asking for water was heard in her ears.
Seeing that Qingxing wanted to get up and pour water, Mu Jianyu picked up Zhang Wan and handed the tea bowl in his hand to Zhang Wan's lips: "Come, drink water." ”
Mu Jianyu's voice made Zhang Wan completely sober, her eyes widened, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief, the heat in the tea bowl wet Zhang Wan's eyelashes, and her dry lips opened one by one: "Shengshang, Shengshang, Shengshang, is really you...... The concubine is finally, finally seeing you again......"
"Don't talk, come, drink the water first." Mu Jianyu smiled slightly. Zhang Wan's appearance made Mu Jianyu feel distressed, such a surprise, she must have waited for a long, long time, and she should have come to see her earlier.
A cup of tea was poured into Zhang Wan's mouth little by little, Mu Jianyu looked at Zhang Wan's cheeks that were gradually rosy, and her heart was a little more steady: "You are so born and raised, I think about you, and you have to take care of yourself." It's late at night, go to sleep, and I'll come back to see you in a few days. After speaking, Mu Jianyu put Zhang Wan down, and reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt, "Take care of Concubine Xiao, if you lack anything, let Xiao Shunzi ask You Dexing for anything." Don't wronged Concubine Xiao. The latter words were said to Qingxing and Xiao Shunzi at the door.
"Qingxing, call Xiao Shunzi over." It wasn't until she couldn't hear Mu Jianyu's footsteps that Zhang Wan opened her eyes and called out to Qingxing.
"Master." Xiao Shunzi knelt in front of the couch and didn't dare to look up.
"You are quite clever, things are done well, from now on, you are the chief eunuch of Yulan Palace, this is your reward." Zhang Wan said, handing a look to Qingxing, Qingxing took out a small bag of silver from the bottom drawer of the makeup and handed it to Xiaoshunzi, "These are what you deserve, take it." Do things well for me in the future, and reward you more. Seeing that Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to take it, Zhang Wanxiao persuaded him.
"Thank you, mother." Xiao Shunzi took the silver and kowtowed a few times, "In the future, if the mother is useful to the miscellaneous family, although the mother commands, go to the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and the miscellaneous family will never give up!" ”
"Alright, get up. Hongu is going to rest. ”
"Shaolang, come over here." Si Duhan leaned on crutches and knocked on Shaolang's door.
"Master, why haven't you slept so late?" Shao Lang heard the voice of Si Du Han outside the door, hurriedly put on a coat and opened the door. Si Duhan looked so old in the moonlight, Shao Lang stepped out of the room and hugged Si Duhan.
"I'm fine. You come with me. Si Duhan led Shao Lang into the night, went around and around, and came to the underground secret room again.
"Master, sit down." Seeing that there was no place to sit around, Shao Lang took off his clothes, spread them on the ground, and helped Si Duhan to sit down.
"Shaolang, for the sake of the master's life for a short time, there is something to entrust to you." Elder Si Duhan's voice echoed through the secret room.
"Master, don't say that, your body is tough, if you have anything to do, just say it." As soon as he heard that the master had something to explain, Shao Lang knelt in front of Si Duhan.
"Child, my body may last for a year and a half, but the world may not allow me to live for so long." Si Duhan paused and continued, "Do you remember the benefactor you mentioned to you before being a teacher? ”
"Remember, the benefactor's name is Chen Kaiyun." Shao Lang replied.
"Yes, Chen Kaiyun, only one girl in Chen Kaiyun's family is still alive in this world, and the teacher may not be able to protect her anymore, and the teacher hopes that you can protect her." Si Duhan nodded.
"Master, don't worry, even if the apprentice fights hard, he will protect that girl thoroughly." Shao Lang's words were sincere.
"Well, she may have to leave here in a few days, and you will go out of the city tomorrow, and go out of the city, remember, where she goes, where you go. No matter what happens in the mausoleum, don't come back! Gotta stay by her side! Si Duhan's tone was more stern than ever.
"Master, don't worry." Shao Lang knew that this might be the Master's last wish.
"I've written her name in the bag, and you won't be able to open it until you're out of town tomorrow. Remember? Si Duhan took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Shao Lang.
"I remember." Shao Lang took it with both hands and put it in his arms.
"Remember, you'll be gone early tomorrow morning. If you leave here, if you go out, you won't be allowed to come back! "Si Duhan's heart is dripping blood.
"I remember." Shao Lang had already burst into tears.
"Mother Xu." Early in the morning, Fei'er came to Linglong Pavilion with the personal maid Miaoyi given by Xu's mother.
"Oh, distinguished guest." Mother Xu came out with pearls, "Fei'er is getting more and more smart, why do you think of this place today?" ”
"Mother Xu," Fei'er handed over a silver bag, "Mother Xu, I have a few words I want to say to Sister Qiutang, I don't know if it's inconvenient." ”
"After all, it's with the city lord, Fei'er understands the rules more and more. Linglong Pavilion is your home, where is there anything convenient or inconvenient, she is in the backyard, you go. Mother Xu smiled and accepted the silver and handed it to Pearl, and made a false lead in the direction of the backyard, "Pearl, go and tell Master Quan, Miss Fei'er is here, I want to talk to Qiu Tang, let him not stop him." ”
"Yes." Pearl replied, "Miss Fei'er come with me." ”
"Thank you, Mother Xu." Fei'er was blessed again, and followed Pearl to the backyard.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Tang asked, wiping the water on his hands.
"Let's go, say inside." Fei'er looked around, took Qiu Tang's wet hand and walked into the house.
"What's wrong? The lord of the city treats you badly? Qiu Tang thought that Fei'er had suffered some grievances and was driven back to Linglong Pavilion by the city lord.
"Sister," Fei'er lowered her voice, "Sister, you go quickly." Get out of here. ”
"Why?" Qiu Tang was shocked, but he still kept a smile on his face.
"I can't say the reason, but Linglong Pavilion only has my sister you are the best for me, I don't want you to die in vain, quickly, you must be fast, do everything you can to leave Lingcheng." Fei'er's forehead was full of beads of sweat.
"Leaving the Mausoleum? Death in vain? Fei'er, why can't I understand what you're saying? Qiu Tang asked with a forced smile.
"They, those strangers, they're going to slaughter the city!" Fei'er saw that Qiu Tang didn't care, so she had to tell the truth, "I don't know why, anyway, that foreigner has been urging the city lord to help him get poison for the past few days, and he said it himself, he wants to slaughter the city." There is no one left in the mausoleum! ”
"Outlander." Qiu Tang instantly understood. The fears finally happened, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and to use such cruel methods, "Okay, I see, thank you for telling me this." Let me think about it. ”
"What else do you want, it's just a matter of the past one or two, and if you don't leave, you'll really die!" Fei'er was about to cry.
"Fei'er doesn't cry, I know, I'll leave here, don't worry, I can't die." Qiu Tang comforted the little man in front of him.
"Okay, don't tell anyone about it, if this thing gets out, none of us will be able to leave." Fei'er said uncomfortably when she left.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Qiu Tang nodded and hugged Fei'er tightly in his arms.
"Ma'am." After washing all the clothes, Qiu Tang came to the front room.
"What? Can't stay any longer? Mother Xu thought that Qiu Tang couldn't stand the hardships of Linglong Pavilion and wanted to leave, "If you can't stay, then follow Boss Gu to the Holy City." ”
"Madam, Qiu Tang wants to ask you for something." Qiu Tang didn't pay attention to Xu's mother's proposal.
"Say it. You've never asked me for anything. Mother Xu looked Qiu Tang up and down.
"Qiu Tang wants to ask Madame to enter the Holy City with Boss Gu with me." Qiu Tang wanted to take Xu's mother to escape for her life. After all, if there was no Mother Xu at the beginning, she might have starved to death or been discovered by Chen Xiao to kill people.
"Why do you want me to come along?" Xu's mother was very puzzled by Qiu Tang's request.
"Madame has worked hard in Lingcheng for most of her life, and has been dragged down by us, so I don't have time to go out for a walk, so it's better to take this opportunity to go out for a walk together, and let me serve you well, and repay you for saving my life and raising me for so many years." Qiu Tang gently slapped Xu's mother on the shoulder. The words made Xu's mother a little moved.
"It's not impossible, you let me think about it." Mother Xu wants to go, but she can't let go of Linglong Pavilion, Linglong Pavilion is brought up by her, if it is because of her own distraction, what will happen to Linglong Pavilion, then what will she eat and drink for the rest of her life.
"I heard that Boss Gu's drama troupe will leave in these two days, so Madame will bring some soft and go with me." Qiu Tang continued to lobby, she thought about it, if Xu's mother went with her, then in the second half of her life, she would support Xu's mother for the elderly, if Xu's mother didn't go, then this great kindness could only be repaid in the next life.
