Chapter 51: Thrilling
At night, Su Qinghui lay on the bed, and those memories of the past were let go like a marquee, and Nian Rong was thrown into a mass grave like rags and covered in blood; lost his mind and died with hatred; The girl in the room with no place to go; And the innocent and tragic deaths, the unsightly maidens seemed to be all around her, their faces were pale and their cries were terrible.
Su Qinghui lifted the quilt and sat up, her heart was so stuffy that she seemed to be out of breath, and even her stomach ached, she put on her coat and pushed the door open, and a cold air hit her body, instantly reducing a lot of boredom.
After walking two laps and coming back, Su Qinghui was just about to enter the courtyard when he saw a black shadow flashing into the house with a sword, and the alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart.
After a while, the black shadow turned around and went out of the house, looking around, seeing that he was about to find this side, Su Qinghui's heart trembled a few times, and he took off his cloak lightly and escaped into the road along the corner of the wall.
Out of the gate, Su Qinghui glanced at the guards who were put down on both sides of the door, stomped his feet, and hated that iron could not become steel.
The people behind her seemed to have noticed her traces, and there was no hope of going back to hide, and she was weak and had no way to ask for help, so she had to swallow her breath with hatred and run all the way along the palace road.
Crossing the path, Su Qinghui suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, swaying and leisurely carrying a pot of wine, and suddenly burst into tears.
Here Jing Sheng was shaking his steps, and his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and he was startled. Turning her head and seeing a woman with a disheveled hair, she was even more frightened and incoherent, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the wine slammed on the ground, which was particularly loud in the silent night.
Su Qinghui was glad that he hadn't gotten down yet, and when he heard that, he was powerless again.
"It's a human or a ghost!"
"Me"
Jingsheng stood up straight, uncertain: "Su'er? ”
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Su Qinghui frowned, and said, "Don't say much, run first, where to go." ”
"Come here"
A moment later, Jing Sheng sneaked into Qingfeng Garden with Su Qinghui.
"Brother"
"It's so late, you" Jing Rong paused, threw down the book and walked over, and said sharply: "What's the matter, who asked you to bring her here." ”
Jing Sheng raised his voice, full of grievances: "Blame me again, I picked it up on the road." ”
Only then did Jing Rong notice that Su Qinghui's hair was scattered, and he was wearing an untimely robe. He opened the window and looked around, closed the doors and windows, pulled Su Qinghui to the stove, and said loudly: "What's the matter?" Where are you hurt? ”
Su Qinghui shook his head, his stomach aching slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Someone is trying to harm me." ”
Before Jing Rong could speak, Jing Yu leaned over and sat down: "Tell me carefully." ”
Su Qinghui frowned slightly: "I don't know the specifics, the night is dark and cloudy, and the person is dressed in black, I don't see who it is." I can't figure out who it is. ”
Jing Sheng nodded: "I agree with the first half of the sentence, if she doesn't say anything on the road, I won't recognize it." Jing Sheng said and turned to Su Qinghui and said: "But the second half of this sentence is not right, how can you not think that this afternoon, didn't you also show off your power and punish the two young ladies of the family?" ”
Su Qinghui pouted: "It's really a good thing not to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles." ”
"Jing Sheng"
With a light reprimand, Jing Sheng pursed his lips and raised his hand in surrender: "Okay, let's get down to business, I've already asked Ah Xun to chase after that person, and there will be news in a while." ”
Su Qinghui's body finally had warmth, and his stomach seemed to be more comfortable, so he took off his robe and handed it to Jing Sheng: "Thank you." ”
Jing Sheng stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly looked at him: "Wait, where did you come from?" ”
Su Qinghui lowered his head and took off the jade pendant: "Ah, this is from Zhao Mulan today, I look very valuable, I think it is some heirloom of hers, so I put it away first." ”
Jing Sheng raised his eyebrows: "You are quite knowledgeable, and you are quite accurate." ”
Su Qinghui looked up suspiciously, and before he could speak, he heard Jing Rong ask in a loud voice: "What, what's wrong with this jade." ”
Jing Sheng shook the piece of jade in his hand: "There is nothing wrong with jade, but this person is wrong." ”
Su Qinghui was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Jing Sheng said: "This jade was paid tribute by the vassal state, and when it was sent to the palace, the queen mother had a piece, and my mother had a piece, what do you say?" ”
Su Qinghui was shocked: "The tribute is not a detailed number, how can it be taken at will, not to mention that since this jade is so valuable, it is even more impossible for the Zhao family to give it to Zhao Mulan so blatantly." ”
"I have to ask our Lord Liu about this. As for the piece of jade that Zhao Mulan stole under whose instigation and stimulation, and then the news spread to the emperor's ears like the wind, then we have to ask our Miss Zhou. ”
Jing Rong looked at Su Qinghui, who was confused, and explained softly: "This tribute is the responsibility of the Liu family. And the Zhou family has always been at odds with the Liu family, and now the Zhao family is blocking the way of the Zhou family. In addition, the personal relationship between Liu and Zhao is very secret. The Zhou family has this opportunity to catch them all, so naturally they will not let it go. ”
Jing Sheng clapped his hands: "Now everything has a reason to be found, so ah, it's better to touch less of these things, don't you say, Broken Jade Girl." ”
Su Qinghui raised his eyebrows: "You have something to say from just now, what do you mean, what is the rumor of me outside." ”
Jing Sheng burst out laughing, and his words were playful: "No, no need to pass it on, I can see it clearly." Isn't it, brother. ”
Su Qinghui sighed in his heart, carefully recalled his appearance in the afternoon, rubbed his hands and bit his lip, and remorse slipped across his face.
Jing Rong saw Su Qinghui turning his head sideways and wringing his hands, and his heart slowly relaxed, and his eyes were helpless. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that her appearance of teaching people was so independent and strange, which was amazing.
It's just that Jing Rong glanced at Su Qinghui again, and she still shrank back, looking like she didn't dare to see anyone.
In the afternoon, her and Jing Yu's words pierced his heart like a thorn, reminding him of the past, and he was always scared.
Jing Sheng didn't see that Jing Rong was complicated in his heart, but just looked at Su Qinghui's shy appearance, remembering Wen Yun's anxious appearance in the afternoon when he couldn't find Jing Yu and called them to persuade them, and jokingly said: "Someone is scared outside the palace all day long, and when I see it today, I feel at ease." Jing Sheng said and touched Su Qinghui: "Hey, you are very powerful today, you are scolding the world, and you are also disturbing the peace in Jingyu Palace, and rumors are spreading." It's amazing that Jing Yu can keep you alive to this day. ”
"Shut up"
Jing Sheng listened to the uniform voice in his ear and raised his eyebrows: "Heh, I'm not too rare to care?" ”
There was a sound of tuk tuk outside the window, Jing Sheng stood up and made a lazy waist, and said in a lazy tone: "Do your job." ”
On the second day, Cai Wei cleaned up the bed and came out, and saw Su Qinghui wrapped in three or five layers, sitting quietly in the courtyard, motionless. Cai Wei stepped forward and took a hot bag and put it in Su Qinghui's arms, and said strangely: "In the cold weather, the mother is not warm in the house, how can she be cold here." ”
"Don't worry, I'll wait for someone, otherwise I'll have to work hard for him to send someone to my house."
Cai Wei was a little confused, so she had to say: "Niangniang, don't stay too long, you are weak and prone to cold." As she was talking, a few little maids walked outside the courtyard, and one of them poked his head into the courtyard, looked at Su Qinghui's smiling eyes, and hurriedly shrank his head and sped up his pace.
Su Qinghui chuckled, and sure enough, it was not much different from what Jing Sheng said, she patted her dress and got up, and said, "Okay, let's go." Go back to the house to warm your hands and feet. By the way, what arrangements does the emperor have today? ”
"The slave maid was about to talk to Niangniang about this, and the emperor sent someone to pass the word, saying that he was going to the South Temple this afternoon to pray for the people."
Su Qinghui turned his head slowly and asked with difficulty, "I won't go too." ”
"It stands to reason that Niangniang is going to go, but if Niangniang is not feeling well, she doesn't have to walk the whole way, just wait on the mountainside, pray for this matter, and be sincere."
Su Qinghui immediately answered: "Since this is the case, I can be sincere here, and I will be spiritual." ”
Cai Wei said helplessly: "Niangniang, the emperor has to go to the temple in person, how can you, as a concubine, be lazy and disrespectful." Let others hear it again, and they will misunderstand you, and then you have sinned. ”
Su Qinghui pursed his lips and did not respond again.
After breakfast, the sun was hanging and there was finally a hint of warmth outside.
There were two taps outside the door, and Cai Wei opened the door, and saw Zhao Pu, who was hanging his head and waist, with a flattering smile on his face: "Miss Cai Wei, Concubine Jing is here." ”
Su Qinghui's vague voice came from inside the house: "Well, I'm here, come in and talk." ”
"The slave has seen Concubine Jing."
"Get up, what, what is the emperor calling me?"
Zhao Pu said: "The emperor wants to go to Nanshan Temple to pray for blessings, and he wants the slave to come and tell me again, so as not to forget the time." ”
Su Qinghui put down the pastry in his hand and rubbed it on the handkerchief casually, "I haven't forgotten, isn't it today?" I remember. ”
Zhao Pu glanced at Su Qinghui, who was still dressed casually, hesitated and said repeatedly: "Niangniang, it's right today, but now it's time, and the carriages and horses are waiting outside." ”
Su Qinghui's eyes widened, turned his head to look at Cai Wei, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, didn't you say it was afternoon?" ”
After Cai Wei was stunned, a haze suddenly fell between her eyebrows, Su Qinghui looked at Cai Wei's appearance, only knew that one or two sentences were not clear, and only asked: "Is it difficult to go out on this trip?" ”
Zhao Pu on the side was confused, only to see Cai Wei raise her head and regain her calmness.
"Mother, it should always be good to go out for a walk."
When Su Qinghui heard this, he immediately knew the bottom in his heart. Also, if Jing Yu takes people to the South Temple, where can the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates in the palace be reliable. Staying here alone may make people plot, and no one will know. There are always people watching when she goes out, as long as she doesn't leave people, even if those people in the Zhao family want to harm her, they should always look at their eyes.
Su Qinghui thought about it again in his heart, and now he wanted to harm her, except for the Zhao family, who was half of the bottom by her, and the Liu family, who were implicated by her, there seemed to be no one else, and now since the Zhou family wants to take advantage of the situation and borrow her hand to sweep away the troubles, they will not make any big moves against her. So after this trip, there are some things that will be clear who loses and who wins.
Su Qinghui thought of this, and suddenly felt in vain. She slid down from her seat, waved at Zhao Pu, and said casually, "Wait outside." ”
"Yes"
Zhao Pu went out, and Su Qinghui asked while putting on his clothes, "Cai Wei, did anyone come to deliver anything in the morning?" ”
"Yes, a little girl next to the emperor sent someone to deliver soup."
Su Qinghui raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't I see it?" ”
Cai Wei said unhurriedly: "In the past, when the emperor sent things to Niangniang, he used cracked cloud disks, but today it is not. ”
Su Qinghui's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Cai Wei, who was hanging her head to tie her belt, and suddenly her face was dyed with a smile: "No wonder I just came in, and the house was like a strong wind." ”
Cai Wei suddenly moved, bowed her head and knelt on the ground: "Today is the dereliction of duty of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are willing to accept the punishment." ”
"Okay, then punish you for eating that plate of pastries on the table."
"Niangniang"
"All right, get up, I know your heart is enough." Su Qinghui said as he picked up a hairpin and put it on his head, turned around and said with a smile: "How is it, is it good-looking?" ”
"Good-looking"
Su Qinghui smiled even more in his eyes, opened the door and exhaled deeply, and walked towards the carriage.
