Chapter 72: Heartache (2)
Xue Chunyue lowered her head and pursed her lips, but still stubbornly put the spoon to her mouth, Ye Qinyu couldn't, so she had to open her mouth and drink it.
A nauseous bitter taste overflowed the entire mouth...... Ye Qinyu almost threw up.
Xue Chunyue twisted her eyebrows and helped her wipe the medicinal juice on her lips, "I've found it, but there is no trace." But if they are all suffering, there is no reason why none of the three can find them. ”
Ye Qinyu grabbed his hand and stared at him nervously, "You mean they might still be alive?!" ”
Xue Chunyue took the opportunity to feed her another spoonful, and then lowered his voice and said, "Xuecheng's water nature is above me, more flexible than a fish, and there is no water in this world that can be rare for him." In my estimation, he just jumped down when he knew that there was a deep pool below, first, to save Zhun and Yuming, and secondly, to avoid the pursuit. ”
Ye Qinyu looked at him with wide eyes, "Really?!" ”
"Naturally, take it seriously."
The tense string in her heart could finally relax a little, but the pain in her abdomen became clearer and clearer, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore after taking another sip of medicine, and she broke out in a cold sweat on the bed.
Xue Chunyue hurriedly put the medicine bowl aside, helped her lie down again, and stroked her cheek reluctantly, "It's all my fault...... I shouldn't have sent you away from Changxing's ......"
Ye Qinyu held his hand with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry...... I couldn't save our children......"
Xue Chunyue wrinkled her eyebrows, "It's obvious that I didn't protect you well, how can I blame myself!" You know that watching you suffer and not being able to do anything about it is more uncomfortable for me than digging out my heart and lungs......"
Although Ye Qinyu's body hurt, he finally felt a little comforted when he heard him say this, so he turned his head and kissed his palm gently.
Xue Chunyue squeezed out a distressed wry smile, leaned over and gently kissed her lips, and said while licking, "I'm sorry...... I'm never going to make you suffer again......"
said that he would share the joys and sorrows, and he naturally had to share the bitter taste with her.
Listening to his rich voice, Ye Qinyu's tears burst out of his eyes again......
After a while, Xue Chunyue pressed against her forehead and said extremely sadly, "Qinyu, there is still something going on in the court, I can't stay in Luo'an for too long, this residence is newly found by me, it is relatively secret, and it should not be discovered in the short term", he closed his eyes and paused for a while before continuing, "It will be fine in ten days and a half months...... During this period, you must remember not to take half a step out of this place, if you have something, tell your heart, and she will deal with it......"
"But Uncle Quasi, they ......"
"Trust me! There is a ...... of learning sincerity that will be fine."
Ask yourself, he is not very sure, but at this time he must stabilize Ye Qinyu's emotions, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable.
Ye Qinyu opened a pair of big empty eyes, finally closed her eyes and nodded, and soon she opened her eyes and looked at him again and said, "But you have to promise me one thing, send someone to Tianhai Peak Qingyang Temple to investigate Changyinghou Wang Bodang, Sister Yu Ming once told me that her son has a lot of true traces of Xinyangzi, senior brother Xinyangzi, and these authentic works must come from Wang Bodang, so it seems that the father and son of the Wang family may know the whereabouts of some Wuyizi disciples." ”
"I know, the cuckoo has already told me, the heart will be arranged, don't worry......"
"Chunyue, is it dangerous for you to go back this time...... I used to think that the biggest source of danger for you and Uncle Xiao Zhun was Xiangwangfu, and I once thought that Uncle Xiaozhun was in trouble in the Yujiang River, which was planned by Xiangwangfu, but now that King Xiangjun is dead and Yi'an is imprisoned, there are still killers chasing after Uncle Xiaozhun relentlessly, which means that it is not the problem of Xiangwangfu, so who is it...... Their goal is not to include you ......"
Xue Chunyue took her into his arms and comforted her, "Qinyu, don't think about it, Changxing City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and I am a member of the third rank of the imperial court, except for Your Majesty, no one can touch me, including King Xu who you are worried about." ”
"Chunyue, I miss my life in Haizhou so much...... At that time, although there was still a misunderstanding between us, life was very easy......"
Speaking of Haizhou, Ye Qinyu suddenly thought of Xue Chunyue's mother, and his heart was even more sad, "I promised my mother that I would give her a grandson, but now, I lost this child with my own hands......"
Hearing her say this, Xue Chunyue was even more uncomfortable, and hurriedly hugged her tightly, cheering up and comforting her, "Don't worry, you should believe in my ability, child, as long as I work hard, there will always be." ”
Ye Qinyu thought of the "hard work" he said, and immediately blushed, patted his chest and stopped talking.
Xinyan sent Xue Chunyue to leave through the back door, before leaving, Xue Chunyue once again told Xinyan to take care of Ye Qinyu, Xinyan nodded, but he was always a little uneasy, stepped forward and said, "Young master, Xinyan always feels that we are being used this time, Lord Ye has been hiding well, sooner or later, we only found him on the front foot, and the killer arrived on the back foot." ”
"That's why I transferred you, maybe...... It's not just us who are being used, but also the Xiangwang Mansion...... In short, no matter what, the most important thing now is the safety of Qinyu and Cizhun, this place is secluded, and you must not let Qinyu leave easily. Xinyangzi's matter, you command Yi Ruhai to do it in the courtyard. Hmph, it's useless for Wang Bodang to hide it, the Taoist who his master Yuanzhen murdered ten years ago to seize the position of abbot of Qingyangguan should be Xinyangzi's closed disciple Hongzhen, Hongzhen and Wufeizi disciple Hongqin are close friends, so Hongzhen's handwriting should leave traces of Hongqin. I've already explained this, and you keep in touch with him. ”
Xinyan nodded solemnly and took advantage of the twilight to send Xue Chunyue away.
Ye Cizhun colluded with the Xiangwang Mansion to rebel, and Xue Chunyue, who was with him like a shadow, was able to retreat with his whole body, obviously because Emperor Hongyuan was biased. Even if the ministers were afraid of Emperor Hongyuan, King Xu didn't care, and he participated in Xue Chunyue in the court several times.
There is a reason for Emperor Hongyuan not to move Xue Chunyue, the situation in the state is unstable after this turmoil, and the imperial court intends to completely incorporate it into the territory and become the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the great cause, so that the war with the tribes of the state is unavoidable, and the military expenditure has increased sharply.
In addition to Ye Cizhun and Xue Chunyue, there is no one in the DPRK and China who can lead the affairs of the whole country, and the average loss is a major source of the national treasury. Now Ye Cizhun is dead, and only Xue Chunyue is left.
King Xu knew Emperor Hongyuan's thoughts, he did not come empty-handed, but recommended another young talent of the Xue family, Xue Peiqi, with the intention of him to take over Xue Chunyue's position and take charge of the world's materials.
The two are both grandchildren of Xue Yin, and they are both influenced by the family atmosphere, and Xue Peiqi has also experienced the experience of Haizhou City Bosi and Dali Temple, and he is no longer a fledgling general, and his political achievements and prestige are well-known in the court.
King Xu mobilized almost all his forces in the court and vowed to pull Xue Chunyue off the horse!
Seeing the turmoil in the court, Emperor Hongyuan seemed to have finally made up his mind to make a move on Xue Chunyue, demoting him to the transfer envoy of Zhengsi Pinxing Dongdao, and his vacant household servant was served by King Xi's father-in-law, Changenhou Wenheng, but in order to make a balance, Emperor Hongyuan satisfied King Xu's desire to recommend Xue Peiqi to enter the finance and taxation yamen, and changed his position with Wei Shaoqing, Wei Shaoqing was transferred to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Xue Peiqi was transferred to Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.
Yuan Su, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Wei Shaoqing, the new young secretary of Dali Temple, first had the life-saving grace of the robbery in the suburbs of Luo'an more than ten years ago, and then had the friendship of the joint investigation and punishment of the corruption nest case of the Jingnan Dao Losing Agency. Not long after, Yuan Su personally went to the Wei Mansion to greet Wei Ying, the head of the household department, revealing a hint of an alliance with it.
Wei Yingshi and Yuan Su have always been considered to be the henchmen of Emperor Hongyuan, coupled with the transfer of Xue Peiqi, Dali Temple, which has been robbed by King Xi and King Xu, seems to have been quietly withdrawn by Emperor Hongyuan. The distribution of power in the imperial court is waiting for a new round of reshuffle.
Xuecheng disappeared, and he said that he would shoulder the heavy responsibility of Xue Chunyue's layout, so he became more and more busy, but fortunately, there is a cuckoo by her side now, and she can help her share some of the responsibilities of taking care of Ye Qinyu.
Half a month passed, Ye Qinyu's body gradually improved, but there was still no news of Ye Cizhun and others, and under anxiety and depression, he could only pace back and forth in the study, waiting for Xinyan's investigation of Changying Marquis Wang Bodang.
Looking closely, it turns out that this room is fully furnished, such as this study, even pen, ink, paper and inkstone, judging from its old use traces, it doesn't look like Xue Chunyue found it temporarily, but it seems that it was purchased early in the morning, and someone has been cleaning and taking care of it for a long time. When she was bored, she began to look through some books in her study. The shelves were spotless, apparently cleaned diligently, but the books were dusty and should not have been opened for a long time.
A travelogue "Notes on the Nations" written by Ouyang Zhi, a famous scholar of the former dynasty, came into her eyes, the book lay quietly in a corner of the bookshelf, seemingly neglected, but there was little dust, obviously someone occasionally looked at it, she was curious, walked over and picked it up.
The book was opened and a yellowed letterhead was dropped, Ye Qinyu picked it up and opened it, only to see the four lines of Juanxiu's handwriting neatly written in the center, and she couldn't help but read it out:
Ziyan is bright
It's hard to hold back
It's like a heart
The heart has forgotten its words
Ye Qinyu pondered a few times, and when she was smart, she thought that this was a small poem with a hidden head, "Zi, Hong, Yi, Xin, the old man's honorable name Xue Chenggui, the word Zihong, the one in front should be the old man, who is that Yixin...... Looking at the handwriting of the letter, it should be a woman's reply, and in just a few words, her feelings of joy and shyness jumped on the paper, could it be ...... Is it the master's sweetheart?! ”
One Aunt Ma and one Aunt Zheng are not enough?! How many more are there?!
Thinking of Mrs. Xue's disgraceful life and her quiet death, Ye Qinyu suddenly felt a little indignant in his heart. After thinking about it, they all said that "the son is like the father", it can be seen that Xue Chunyue is not a good thing, she was Sister Yuming before, and then she was the county lord of Yi'an and her, I don't know who there is in the future!
After some cranky thinking, Xue Chunyue lay down inexplicably, and Ye Qinyu himself was depressed, so he put the letterhead back in the book, put it back on the bookshelf as it was, and went back to the room to sleep.
