Volume 2: Ten Years of Life and Death [64] Mei Family Twins (1)
After some of the guards locked Mei Makeup in the firewood room, Yi Lunhuan asked Chu Changting to go back to the Splendid Pavilion to rest first, and then went back to Zhaoyang Courtyard by himself.
When looking at Chu Changting's figure in the distance, Yi Lunhuan suddenly wanted to catch up and grab her arm, and asked her, is it because she is playing another person, if she continues to act for a long time in the future, will it be the same as today.
But he could only stand, watching Chu Changting's slightly lonely back disappear into the corner of the pavilion corridor, and the last corner of the skirt disappeared leisurely, like a swimming fish that couldn't be caught.
Yi Lunhuan pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and then turned back to Zhaoyang Courtyard. Just as he stepped into the courtyard, Mei Rong behind him suddenly took two steps forward and knelt in front of Yi Lunhuan, nodded his head to the ground, and said loudly: "Please give the emperor a sin!" ”
"What's the crime?" Yi Lunhuan's anger did not subside, his chest was still trembling slightly, and he glanced at Mei Rong very quickly.
"Mei Makeup's current behavior is really disrespectful, and it is vain for the Mei family. And the slave maid is the head of the Mei family, and she is the sister of the rebel son. I hope that Your Majesty will be condemned to his humble duties! Mei Rong said loudly, but her brain was blank, and she didn't know what was coming out of her mouth.
"Sister?" Yi Lunhuan smiled coldly, and his cold face was murderous.
"When did the Mei family rise up like this?" Yi Lunhuan squatted down and pinched Mei Rong's face, his eyes were as violent as a tiger wolf, "Those who follow me are all covered in the worldly smell of fireworks." You are truly ashamed of your ancestors. ”
"Since she is your sister, you will personally go to the execution in three days and cut your sister with a thousand knives to wash away the tattered red dust." Yi Lunhuan shook Mei Rong's face hard, and Mei Rong was slammed to the ground and ate a mouthful of dirt. This hit made her hurt, but she didn't dare to slack off, quickly got up from the ground, continued to kneel respectfully in front of Yi Lunhuan, hastily spit out the mud in her mouth, and said, "The slave knows her mistake." ”
"I didn't want to be angry with you, but if I let you do this, wouldn't I bring the Mei clan into the fire? If the Mei clan declines in my hands, how can I be worthy of my mother and concubine, and how can I be worthy of the saints of the Qi Kingdom? Yi Lunhuan's face suddenly changed, and his voice became much softer. As soon as Mei Rong heard Yi Lunhuan mention the Holy Maiden of the Qi Kingdom, her body softened, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed wildly, and agreed repeatedly. Yi Lunhuan pushed her shoulder to signal that she didn't have to knock anymore, then helped her up and said, "Go and wash your face."
Mei Rong answered and quickly went to wash her face. Yi Lunhuan stood in the middle hall, watching the night gradually darken, and his eyes became gloomy little by little. Today's events are a bit chaotic, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, he can only follow the general trend, but there are still many questions in his mind. He beckoned and asked Kang Jiuhe to call Su He over, but he turned to pity and the pain of losing his sister, so he temporarily gave up and prepared to go to Heyuxuan in person to express his condolences.
In the twilight, Crane Feather Xuan was as silent as death, there were no people coming and going, and there was no candlelight that should be lit from time to time. Yi Lunhuan stood at the door of Heyuxuan, and suddenly felt a little distressed for Su He in his heart, and felt sorry for Su Jin, who had been a victim, and he couldn't help himself with his life in his life.
In fact, Yi Lunhuan will be distressed. When stepping on the accumulated white bones at the peak of power, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, he would occasionally look back with pity, look at the tens of millions of bodies that surrendered to his feet, and sighed that it was hard work.
You have been a stepping stone for me, you have never been able to help yourself, you have lived in the palm of my hand and cannot escape, but if you do it all over again, it will be the same result.
Yi Lunhuan walked into Heyuxuan softly, and the sight was Su He, whose face was full of tears, he leaned on the bamboo chair, his eyes were blank, and his crying voice was depressed and sad. Seeing Yi Lunhuan walk in, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face and knelt down to salute, Yi Lunhuan sat on the soft couch on the side, stared at Su He, who had aged more than ten years in a day, and said slowly: "Mourn." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su He trembled and got up, his voice was hoarse and dark, and he had no previous demeanor.
"Now tell me what is going on today, right?" Yi Lun stared at Su He, his voice majestic and cold.
"Today's events? Didn't the emperor arrange it? Su He raised his head and looked at Yi Lunhuan, his face full of restrained sadness. He wanted to be angry, but he didn't even have the qualifications to be angry. He could only look at the culprit with a pleasant face and greet him humbly. He felt deeply sad and despised.
"Today's events have nothing to do with me. But I guess, maybe Aiqing won't believe it. Yi Lunhuan said lightly, "I don't know why you replaced Su Jin with Chu Changting, and I don't know why Mei Xiang suddenly killed Su Jin." Now tell me everything you know. ”
Su He was stunned for a moment, he looked at Yi Lunhuan who was sitting on the top with a gloomy face with tears in his eyes, and his heart swayed with doubts, not knowing whether he should believe him or not.
"Su Jin is insane? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Yi Lun Huan's voice was a little angry, "Someone is doing it right under my nose?" ”
Su He was stunned for a while, he didn't know if Yi Lunhuan really didn't know or was acting, but at this moment, he didn't have the heart to calculate, he only smiled haggardly, and his eyes were all about withering. He sniffed and said, "Yes, Wechen has also been investigating, but it has not yet been conclusive." ”
"Be sure to find out to me who did it. I will not be spared. Yi Lunhuan patted the table, his face gloomy, "And if you want to say so, then Mei Makeup deliberately wanted to kill Chu Changting, but unfortunately accidentally injured Su Jin." I can't keep this plum makeup. ”
"In addition, Su Jinzhi's fact is unfortunate, and I am also very sad. Since she died for Changting, I will not treat her lightly. I know what you're thinking, and you're worried that she won't be able to enter the grave if her identity is unknown, but rest assured that I'll help you settle everything down. ”
Yi Lunhuan said very sincerely, although his face was gloomy, but it was also dyed with a little warmth by his gentle tone. Su He had never seen such a Yi Lun Huan, and a warm current surged in his heart, he had a little more trust in Yi Lun Huan out of thin air at the moment, and he kowtowed deeply to thank God.
"In addition to grief, don't remember to find out the real culprit who killed Su Jin, the person who caused her to get madness, three months later, I am waiting for your news in Fengzhao." Yi Lunhuan got up, walked to the door of Heyuxuan, and turned around and whispered.
Wechen understood. Even if it is for himself, Weichen will definitely find out the matter. Su He gritted his teeth and said firmly, his eyes red as blood.
Yi Lunhuan raised his eyebrows, then opened the curtain and left. It was already late at night when he came out of Crane Feather Xuan, and Yi Lunhuan felt a little tired, so he went back to Zhaoyang Courtyard first, planning to interrogate Mei Makeup early tomorrow morning. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Kang Jiuhe waiting at the door with a lamp, the warm light reflected on his dense wrinkles, Yi Lunhuan's lips moved slightly, and his face eased.
Seeing Yi Lunhuan coming back from a distance, Kang Jiuhe hurriedly trotted up to meet him, and followed Yi Lunhuan to light him up. Yi Lunhuan spoke to Kang Jiuhe in a warm voice while walking: "Why are you still guarding the door so late, the night breeze is cold, you are old, don't break your body." ”
"What is the emperor saying, isn't it the duty of a slave to wait for the emperor to come back. Besides, it's getting dark, and this Su Mansion has not been peaceful recently, and the emperor has not returned for a long time, so how can the servants rest assured. As soon as the slave worries about the emperor's safety, wouldn't his body deteriorate faster? Kang Jiuhe chattered a lot, Yi Lunhuan listened silently, and suddenly looked back at Kang Jiuhe who was chattering, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, and his voice was indistinguishable: "I see that you are getting older, and you are talking more." ”
Kang Jiuhe knew that Yi Lunhuan had always disliked noise, and he rarely talked much with him on weekdays. Xu saw Yi Lunhuan looking at him more gently than in the past, so he said a few more words. He hurriedly patted his mouth in a pretended manner, signaling himself to say no more.
But as he walked, he couldn't bear his gossip heart, and said in a low voice and cautiously: "Your Majesty, forgive the slave for talking too much, but the slave still wants to know, do you really like the fourth lady of the Su family?" The slave has followed the emperor for so many years, and he has never seen the emperor so tempted by a certain woman. ”
"Kang Jiuhe." Yi Lunhuan's face finally darkened, he stood still, his narrow phoenix eyes slanted at Kang Jiuhe, who was scolding with his head down, and after taking a deep breath, he squinted and said, "You also know how much you talk?" ”
Kang Jiuhe was stunned and had nothing to say, so he had to smack his mouth again, and then muttered: "The old slave should die, the old slave should die......"
Walking into the house, Yi Lunhuan looked around left and right, and found that Mei Rong was not in the house, so he asked Kang Jiu and her whereabouts. Kang Jiuhe rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Miss Meirong disappeared an hour ago, and the slave thought she had gone to find you." ”
"I see." Yi Lunhuan frowned, and beckoned Kang Jiuhe to come and change his clothes. Kang Jiuhe cautiously and carefully unbuttoned Yi Lunhuan, and at the same time, he couldn't help asking, "What position is the emperor going to give to Su Jin's little master?" ”
Yi Lunhuan squinted, and this time he didn't go back, but replied seriously: "I'm also thinking about this question. She has a great appearance, a noble birth, and the key is that I really like it. I thought maybe I could give her a concubine or a wife. ”
"Your Majesty...... Forgive the old slave for talking too much, in the main hall today, the moral character of Miss Su Si that Mei Makeup was referring to in every sentence, and the slave felt that it was ......" Kang Jiuhe's voice became smaller and smaller, because he secretly looked at Yi Lunhuan's face getting worse and worse.
"Why do you believe what a slut said?" Yi Lunhuan frowned, and his voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.
"The slave naturally doesn't believe it, but the slave believes in His Majesty's vision even more!" Kang Jiuhe immediately straightened up, and Zhen Zhen said, "But after all, the emperor has not known Miss Su Si for a long time, and Miss Susi's temperament must not be well understood, it is better to give her a low position first, and the emperor will slowly realize that if he thinks that Miss is really good in the future, it will not be too late to give a high position at that time." ”
"Or don't talk about this, let's just say that she is so favored, and her position is higher than the whole palace, which will definitely make her the target of everyone. The woman in the harem, in fact, doesn't need to talk too much, the emperor knows in your heart that the woman's jealousy is much more powerful than the sword and gun that the eye can look at. ”
Thinking of the situation when the mother died tragically, Yi Lunhuan's previously shiny eyes instantly fell like extinguished stars. He took a deep breath, and his voice floated in the air: "I don't know. ”
After all, it was Su Jin at this moment, not Chu Changting. Today's tentative words, back and forth, can still see that Chu Changting is dissatisfied with himself. He didn't want to rush it, but he was already itching. After waiting for so many years, he can finally love her without any scruples, and he can't wait to correct her on the spot immediately. But after all, it is a matter of right and wrong, he can't erase Chu Changting's hatred for himself and his attachment to Shen Liangchen, there are too many bloody lives and irreparable sores between them, he can only redeem his lost sincerity little by little.
"What you said today is reasonable, I will think about it. Step aside. Saying this, Kang Jiuhe has finished changing clothes for Yi Lunhuan. Yi Lunhuan waved his hand to signal him to step back, leaning lazily on the bed, reminiscing about the scene of today's rafting and swimming, although there was an undercurrent, it was still a good scenery in early summer. The handsome face is like a drizzle of Jiangnan, the corners of the mouth are hooked with a warm arc, and the eyes are filled with a gentle light.
After all these years, you finally came back to me.
