Volume 2 The Dark Tide of the Silent Night Chapter 19 Twin Springs
Yinhua looked at the moon, leaned against the palace wall, and the crackling melon seed shell in her mouth flew out like a butterfly, and waited until the whole bag of melon seeds was eaten, and said to herself: "Well, it's almost time." Twisting his body, shrinking into a small black shadow, he flew up to the wall in an instant, and he didn't know what he was using in his hand, every time he climbed on the silver wall, his body flew up, and it was already hanging on the eaves of the Yongjinmen Tower in a few clicks.
Yinhua hooked her feet to the eaves and looked upside down, Zhao Wuyun, the princess of the Qing Shark, had just turned around and left, and Zhu Zhiling, the princess of the Qing Shark, was still standing there as usual. After a while, I heard her call: "Come out." ”
Yinhua skillfully hid herself in the shadow of the corner of the wall beside the princess, only three steps away from the princess.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Zhiling still looked at the bright moon.
"The Songlan Palace is a little persuasive, Princess Yinquan said that she must return to Taiye City within three days at the latest, and she will not continue to wait." The girl's voice came from the darkness.
Zhu Zhiling frowned, after all, she was an aunt, and her temper was not under the mother queen at all, so saying this is also like the character of the Zhu family. Recently, things have happened one after another, and I was expecting the mission to pick her up after leaving Taiye City, but now it seems that it will not work.
"Then take her back, three days later is the day when the mother emperor meets the mission, and you have to think of a way......" Zhu Zhiling pondered for a moment, and said concisely and briskly: "You go and bring a message to Mo Daqiu, tell him that there is a business of 30,000 taels of gold coming to the door, he doesn't need to do anything, as long as he brings two golden sword retinues in three days, and comes to Taiqing Island to sit on my Jiade Hall for a while, without saying a word." ”
"Your Majesty's side......" Yinhua hesitated a little.
"I'll go and say, you go." Zhu Zhiling is confident.
Half an hour later, Emperor Ming heard the news in the Dingxiang Hall of the Lai Yi Palace.
"She can't bear it, she should be, after so many years, it is easy to come back and lock her in the palace again, it is inevitable to think crankily. It's just that you took her back to Taiye City like this, what did you say with the mission three days later? Do you want to hide her in my palace first? Emperor Ming looked at Zhu Zhiling, and thought to himself that he would let him pick up someone, and only report afterwards to see how you deal with it.
Zhu Zhiling smiled and said: "Don't bother with such trivial matters, the daughter of the Jiade Palace will deal with it in three days, but the mother emperor looks at it, if you don't do it well, just punish me." Emperor Ming gently put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a moment, and spit out a word: "Okay." ”
Sometimes a "good" word is equivalent to a military order.
* * * * * *.
In the south of the city, near the wicker lake, there is a large area of green tile buildings, there are countless commercial houses and markets, stretching for seven or eight miles, called Nanchi Street, which is the most lively place under the Taiye City. The Golden Blade King's merchant house in the Blue Sea Country occupies the best position in this street.
At night, the door of the merchant house had already been closed, and Master Hao was still counting the accounts with the lights on the counter downstairs, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of him, and he picked up a pack of hawthorn strips in front of Master Hao and disappeared. Master Hao didn't raise his eyes, still looking at the ledger, just shook his head and smiled.
Upstairs, Mo Daqiu lit a bag of cigarettes and smoked a puff of smoke, and smiled: "Sister is here." ”
Yinhua sat down in front of Mo Daqiu in the blink of an eye, and said in disgust, "I'm smoking again." ”
"Just take two bites!" Mo Daqiu also didn't take her seriously, "Say, what did Zhu Zhiling let you do again?" ”
"She asked you to earn money, and in three days she took two brothers to the Garter Temple, and she sat and did not speak, thirty thousand taels of gold." Yinhua said it extremely simply.
"Oh." Mo Daqiu replied more simply, and then asked, "Is there any other news?" ”
"Nothing else...... Oh, by the way, Zhu Yuxiao is clamoring to come back, go to Taiye City in three days, you report to the big housekeeper," Yinhua asked, "Hey, where is the big housekeeper?" ”
"I slept, I said it was a toss for a day."
"Speaking of which, why did you point out those little thieves to the little boy today? Those few thieves can use it. Yinhua asked puzzled.
"I don't know, it's the meaning of the big butler, I'm just doing it." Mo Daqiu took a sharp puff of his cigarette and exhaled a large smoke ring with great enjoyment, feeling that he could put the silver flower in it.
"Choked to death...... I really can't stay for a moment. Remember, three days later, the Garter Temple. After that, there was no trace of him.
As soon as Yinhua left, the light next door came on. Mo Daqiu looked at it and hurriedly asked, "Butler, are you awake?" ”
A lazy voice came from inside: "Yinhua, this guy, doesn't let people live in peace in the middle of the night, and he eats melon seeds and goes on the beam." ”
Mo Daqiu replied, "Yinhua wants me to tell the big housekeeper that Zhu Yuxiao will be here in three days." ”
The voice was silent for a moment.
"Got it, let's do it a few days in advance. Find a way to get the news to the ears of the maid named Xiaobei, and then these people will sing this play, and we can just watch, hehe. ”
* * * * * *.
Nanchi Street is still so lively, and the lotus flowers of Wicker Lake are declining again. Oh, my sister demolished this alley, it's convenient to go to the east of the city.
Zhu Yuxiao sat in the car, looking at the street scene dizzily. After 24 years of absence, he was at a prime age when he left, and now he has gray temples and is alone.
Life is like chess, one son makes a mistake, and the whole thing is lost. When you first play this move, who thinks you are wrong? Everything can only be decided by time, but when the results are really known, they are not a few steps away from that piece of loess.
If you're right, you won't see it. If I am wrong, I will lose this life. Mother, are you satisfied to see your daughter like this underground?
Qibao incense car slowly drove into the Taiye City Gate, all the way unimpeded, until it passed the Qinxin Gate, and stopped at the Shuangquan Pavilion on the north side of Taiying Island.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty is in the pavilion in front, and at the order of Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are waiting outside this purple bamboo forest."
Shuangquan Pavilion ...... How many times have I dreamed of the place I have missed is a gift from my mother to my sister and me, and I loved to play in the water with my sister when I was a child. Surrounded by a purple bamboo forest, rustling when the wind blows, and a light breeze, looking at the sunset. My sister always wears that purple robe, saying that it matches the color of the forest, but I love to wear green, and I want to reflect the murmuring of the spring......
Zhu Yuxiao slowly walked across the nine-curved bridge covered by bamboo leaves, and a pavilion appeared in front of her, and a graceful figure stood in the pavilion. Suddenly, her tears overwhelmed her vision, and for twenty-four years, all resentment, unwillingness, hatred, and pain receded like a tide, leaving only a stretch of white sand.
A faint purple robe, turned around and turned around was Zhu Yutang's deceased face.
"Sister......" The two women hugged each other.
"I should have someone prepare your green robe...... too," Zhu Yutang's tone was as gentle as water.
Zhu Yuxiao burst into tears and laughed: "It's been twenty-four years, and I've been thinking about what you would say in the first sentence when we meet again, but it's this." ”
Zhu Yutang looked at his sister's face carefully, and sighed: "We are all old ladies, I don't let them into the forest, firstly, because I don't want them to disturb us, and secondly, I am afraid that I will be seen wearing such a tender color and secretly laugh at me." ”
Zhu Yuxiao also smiled and said proudly: "Sister doesn't care what they do, our daughter of the Zhu family, do whatever she wants." ”
Zhu Yutang listened, but smiled bitterly. Zhu Yuxiao instantly understood what her sister meant.
Yes, they can do whatever they want, and this is something that the two of them have never been able to do in their lives.
Zhu Yutang said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to wait for the mission to leave before picking you back, but Ling Er said that you worked hard there, and I couldn't bear it." It's better to come back sooner, and you won't have to suffer anymore after all. ”
Zhu Yuxiao's face turned red: "There is nothing inconvenient about Songlan Palace, but I am like being in a cage all day long, and I am bored, so I ran back, which is to cause chaos for my sister." I just don't know how I'm going to explain it to the cangwu mission when I come back. ”
Zhu Yutang smiled: "Since you are back, don't worry about this, Ling Er said that she will deal with it, and said that the mission will meet you tomorrow, and you will also go to the Jiade Hall to meet you." ”
Zhu Yuxiao's heart sank, and said: "I have heard that Ling Er has won the true inheritance of her sister, and the mother emperor praised her for her intelligence back then. Okay, then let's see what she means tomorrow. ”
Zhu Yutang poured a cup of tea for his sister and asked, "I heard that Li Taijun in Muyun Mansion is very difficult to mess with, and there is a powerful sister, fortunately she died early." You must have suffered a lot over the years. ”
"Her sister is the concubine of Emperor Qinwen and the biological mother of Emperor Wen Li Houcong. I heard that it was really powerful, Emperor Qin Wen originally had two sons, and Concubine Jing died a few years after entering the palace, but fortunately, Concubine Jing later had a son, and the Li family would not be broken. But the other concubines did not give birth again, so only Li Houcong, an only son, naturally ascended the throne. Zhu Yuxiao took a sip of tea.
"What's wrong with that?" Zhu Yutang asked.
"It's hard to tell, but even rumors are circulating about this matter, saying that Concubine Jing's methods are ruthless, she has caused a lot of evil, and she must have suffered retribution if she died early. Who knows? Zhu Yuxiao looked like she didn't care about herself.
"Could it be that Emperor Qin Wen is not half suspicious?" Zhu Yutang listened with some curiosity.
"I heard those old slaves in Muyun's mansion say that Emperor Qinwen is also a mental deficiency, at first he was still healthy, and then he became a medicine jar, hanging with decoction every day, and all the big and small things were handed over to the third master of Muyun at that time, how can he manage this. Their Li family has intermarried, and they have been fools for generations, and it is also a miracle in the world that it can continue to this day. Zhu Yuxiao's face was full of sarcasm.
"Emperor Wen Li Houcong is not a fool." Zhu Yutang remembered that Zhu Zhiling and Emperor Wen teamed up to send his sister back to China without concealment, and felt that Emperor Wen had no mental deficiency. Suddenly, his heart moved: "Didn't you use the Mind Contemplation Technique to see that Emperor Wen?" ”
