Chapter 56: Painting the Boat
As he spoke, he didn't care about Qu Qingwu's shocked gaze, but instead moved his gaze slightly, looked at Yang Yue, raised his voice, and continued: "Be optimistic about your sweetheart." If you can fight for it, you should strive for it, and if you can't fight for it, you should also let it go in a chic way, instead of stalking and fighting. ”
Liu Yue was also stunned, and looked at Sihan cautiously, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all.
Sihan didn't say anything more, just turned around, personally stretched out his hand to help Zhan Wenyi, and only said: "Today's matter is not the emperor's fault." This lantern festival is less crowded and more noisy, and besides, if it weren't for the nosy affairs of this palace, there wouldn't be so many forks today. ”
Zhan Wenyi is still extremely self-reproachful, "The eldest princess went out with the emperor, and Weichen failed to do his duty to protect it, which is indeed Weichen's fault." ”
Sihan took the young emperor's hand and said in a low voice: "There are accidents in everything, why should the emperor blame himself." Tonight's events are over, and the emperor doesn't need to mention them again. ”
After speaking, without further delay, he led the young emperor towards the stairs not far away.
Zhan Wenyi and Shan Zhongze hurriedly followed, after the group went down the stairs, on the first floor, Zhan Wenyi's relatives had already gathered at the staircase, all of them looked at Sihan and his party in shock and worry, and when they saw Zhan Wenyi also came down, someone asked, "The fight on the second floor is extremely powerful, Ruyi, have you ever had anything?" ”
Sihan's expression was flat, and he led the young emperor through the crowd.
Zhan Wenyi hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a friend learning martial arts upstairs, and it's up to the point." ”
Martial arts?
Everyone present was stunned, but no one believed it. Who can't hear the sound of such a hand-to-hand fight! It's just that Zhan Wenyi seems to have no intention of saying much, and everyone didn't say more, but after coming back to his senses, he saw that Sihan had already stepped out of the door on the first floor and stood on the plywood of the painting boat by the railing.
After instructing the boatman to dock the painting boat, Zhan Wenyi did not delay any longer, stepped out of the house, and finally stood in front of Sihan, and said respectfully: "The night is dark, wait a while, Weichen will send the eldest princess and the emperor back to the palace." ”
Sihan's face was silent, and he said in a low voice: "No need. ”
Zhan Wenyi said slowly: "Today, the eldest princess and the emperor are in danger, and the ministers are sending each other, and the night should be." ”
His voice was calm, slightly remorseful, and he was still persistent.
Sihan knew his thoughts, and didn't say anything, just turned his eyes to look at him, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "Tonight's matter, the emperor doesn't have to feel guilty. This palace said that this matter will be over after it is over, and there is no need to mention it. ”
Zhan Wenyi's expression moved slightly, and he condensed for a moment with a very serious Chao Sihan, and then finally compromised, and said slowly: "Weichen, I know." ”
For a while, the night breeze blew, slightly rolling a little bit of lake water, and the moonlight above the head was more and more clear and clean.
Sihan stopped talking and stood indifferently.
The young emperor also stood quietly leaning on Sihan, staring at the lanterns outside the painting boat, but in the depths of his pupils, it was extremely rare to accumulate a little fear and complexity.
Soon, the painting boat docked.
Zhan Wenyi took the lead in getting off the painting boat, and then stretched out his hand to hand it to Sihan.
Sihan picked up the young emperor, and did not refuse to Zhan Wenyi, but put his hand in his palm very naturally, and after he wrapped her hand in the palm of his hand very seriously and solemnly, he used a little force, Sihan followed the force and jumped forward slightly, and finally stood on the shore very steadily.
After Mama Zhou and Shan Zhongze both disembarked, the lights were intertwined, and Sihan said goodbye to Zhan Wenyi.
Zhan Wenyi loosened Sihan's hand slightly, but he insisted on sending him off.
Seeing that he was persistent and firm in his face, Sihan didn't say anything more, just silently acquiesced, and then led the young emperor to turn around.
The night is slightly dark, but the surroundings are still lively and boiling.
The painting boats in the lake are lined up one after another, and the sound of silk and bamboo is still being promoted.
Walking all the way along the lake, after walking a short distance, the painting boat with 'fairy' lanterns hanging all over its body appeared in front of me.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he turned his eyes to look carefully, but he saw that the surroundings of the painting boat were bright, but the house of the painting boat was already empty.
Those people are running fast.
Probably sensing her gaze, or being able to guess her thoughts, Zhan Wenyi slowly spoke up again, "Eldest princess, do you want Weichen to invite the master of the painting boat to ask again?" ”
Sihan came back to his senses, pressed his heart, and said in silence: "Don't ask, that exotic woman is not easy to deal with, and the people around her are more rigorous." The first time you didn't ask about the result, this time you went, it should be the same. ”
Zhan Wenyi frowned slightly, lowered his eyes, and said no more.
Sihan led the young emperor to continue forward, waited through the crowd, and finally arrived at the carriage, Zhan Wenyi respectfully helped Sihan and the young emperor into the carriage, and after saying goodbye to Sihan, Shan Zhongze began to drive.
After playing all night, he was shocked again, and when he finally relaxed, the young emperor came sleepy and fell asleep in Sihan's arms.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Sihan carried the young emperor all the way, and finally sent him to the dormitory to sleep.
And when he finally came out of the door of the young emperor's dormitory, the night was already very deep, and the surroundings were quiet and calm, silent.
Sihan didn't say a word, his body was cold, and he walked forward slowly.
Shan Zhongze followed quietly behind him, silent.
Not long after, when he saw that the road Sihan was traveling did not lead to Fengqi Palace, Shan Zhongze's expression moved slightly, and he spoke respectfully, "The eldest princess will not return to Fengqi Palace at this time?" ”
Sihan didn't speak immediately, but his expression sank.
After being silent for a long time, she didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Tonight's events, the king also sees it." Tell me, who is the man who saved the foreign woman tonight? ”
Shan Zhongze was slightly stunned, thought about it very seriously, and then said helplessly: "I hope that the eldest princess will forgive her sins, her subordinates are stupid, and I really don't know." ”
The corners of Sihan's eyes were slightly raised, and his tone was low and complicated, "Tonight, Qu Qingwu was able to forget about the painting boat, and when the exotic woman was controlled by the palace, she opened her mouth and called to the painting boat in a hurry, 'Brother Mo', this kind of action is undoubtedly directed at one person." Moreover, a foreign woman, regardless of her true identity, relies on her so-called 'Brother Mo' to be so unpresumptuous and arrogant in this Kyoto city, and this palace has to suspect someone. ”
Shan Zhongze's face suddenly became complicated, he was silent for a moment, and asked Chao Sihan very deeply: "Eldest princess, but you are suspicious ......?"
He seemed to have guessed something, but he felt that the person's identity was sensitive, so he immediately paused in his voice and did not say anything else.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he simply said coldly: "You guessed right, Bengong, it is the suspicion of him." ”
The surroundings were silent, and the moon was shining.
All around, the night insects whispered everywhere, messy, but inexplicably set off the surroundings more and more silently.
After leaving the palace gate, Shan Zhongze drove the carriage and drove Sihan all the way forward.
At this time, the street was empty, cold and empty, the carriage galloped on the road, and the sound of the wheels was slightly harsh, but it was slightly startled that the shallow old man in the house around the street woke up from his dream, and finally couldn't help but get up and open the window to take a look, but saw that the carriage had galloped to the end of the night.
The carriage jolted all the way forward, and after a short time, it slowly stopped.
Sihan's slightly closed eyes opened slightly, and at this time, Shan Zhongze's respectful voice was raised outside the car, "Eldest princess, it's here." ”
Sihan's expression changed slightly, and after slowly getting out of the car, he saw that the surroundings were empty and silent, and the mansion in front of him had the door closed, and the handwriting of the plaque above the door was a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and the atmosphere was chic.
"Knock on the door." Sihan raised his eyes, glanced at the words 'Regent Palace' on the plaque, and then casually ordered Shan Zhongze.
Shan Zhongze immediately received the order, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the mansion.
In a moment, someone came from behind the door of the house, and when the door was opened, the scolding voice suddenly choked, and the sleepy little guy suddenly widened his eyes and was shocked on the spot.
"Chief, Chief, Male......"
The trembling voice had not yet been completely shaken away, Sihan was full of coldness, and he had already raised his hand, unceremoniously pushed him aside, and then quickly stepped in.
"Eldest Princess." The little guy stumbled a few times before he stood still, and then hurriedly trotted towards Sihan, and opened his mouth to call, but as soon as these words came out, Shan Zhongze's hand had already pinched his arm, and he said gloomily and threateningly: "Don't make noise!" ”
The little guy was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he nodded hurriedly, not daring to make a sound again.
Shan Zhongze stared at him coldly, then he loosened his neck and ordered him to trot forward to lead the way for Sihan and go to the regent's main house.
The little guy trembled, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs staggered and trotted forward to lead the way.
Along the way, the Regent's Mansion was extremely clean and silent.
The further he went, the more cold Sihan's face became.
Not long after, when the little maid led Sihan and the others to the front of Lan Yeyu's main house, the little maid said nervously: "Eldest princess, the prince's main house has arrived." ”
Sihan's expression moved slightly, and when he turned to look, he saw that the main house was faintly lit, and the lights and shadows were heavy. When my eyes fell by chance, I saw that in front of the main house, there was a puddle of watermarks that seemed to have been wiped but had not been completely dried.
Could it be that Lan Yeyu didn't sleep? Or, just returned from East Lake and can't sleep?
At this point, Sihan became more and more gloomy, and said coldly: "Shan Zhongze, guard the door." ”
As soon as these words fell, her pupils shrank, she raised her feet, and suddenly kicked open the door of the main house.
The little girl was so shocked that her eyes were about to fall off, she had lived for twenty years, how could she have seen such a fierce and vicious woman, not to mention, this person is still a princess in the palace, golden branches and jade leaves, but what is it, how can this person have the appearance of golden branches and jade leaves, obviously a shrew who is about to fight and scold the street.
The little girl's face turned white in shock, and he froze in place and didn't dare to move.
At this time, Sihan had already begun to step into the house with a cold body, and then raised his hand and waved, and suddenly closed the door.
Lan Yeyu's main house, she came here for the first time, and the surrounding places were simple and elegant, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the table top of the round table is made of jade, and the ink pen handle on the case is gold, and even the ground on which you step on it is flat and unfolded, and even slightly glowing with light, which is obviously made of clear jade.
This moth is undoubtedly rich, and it is the warm jade on the main road in the front yard, but the jade and gold in this house have finally exposed his luxurious state.
A light is like a bean, and the light shadow is enough.
Sihan's pupils shrank, and he looked at the ground again, but he didn't notice any wet place. Perhaps, the jade floor is not soaked in water like the stone slab outside, and the water stains can be completely removed by simply wiping it with paper.
At this point, Sihan's face became more and more silent, and the doubts in his heart deepened more and more.
At this moment, in the inner room behind the screen not far away, a lazy and casual voice suddenly came, "Who?" ”
Sihan's pupils shrank suddenly, no longer delayed, and immediately walked forward, waiting to bypass the screen and open the curtain, but the sudden sight made her stunned.
