Chapter 23 Turning Hands into Clouds
Li Chong was furious, he couldn't see Han Qian's slow procrastination, and pushed him from behind, almost stuffing Han Qian into the carriage.
The curtains on both sides of the carriage were hung down, and it was pitch black inside, and Li Chong slammed it from behind, Han Qian's foot was tripped by the rungwood at the door of the carriage, and he staggered into the carriage, and he held the soft object with both hands in a hurry so that he did not fall.
Hearing a familiar muffled snort from the person in his arms, if he hadn't been able to feel Yao Xishui's murderous intent in the dark, if he hadn't been worried that Yao Xishui would have been angered, it would have been possible to stab him directly, Han Qian would definitely not mind pinching two more handfuls on that delicate body full of elasticity and temptation.
"Miss Yao waited here all afternoon?" Han Qian sat next to Yao Xishui, even if he couldn't directly stretch out his hand, but he felt very beautiful against his warm and soft body.
"......" The sharp hard object came over, and Han Qian honestly gave way to the side.
Li rushed into the car and opened the curtain of the carriage to let the lanterns hanging on the street let in the light, so that the carriage would not be pitch black.
Li Chong and Yao Xishui were silent, but Han Qian could feel the surging anger and murderous intent in their chests, Yao Xishui put a short blade into his sleeve, and Li Chong directly put a slashing saber across his knee.
Day, when Lao Tzu is bluffing?
Han Qian was not afraid that Li Chong and Yao Xishui, a pair of dogs and men would beat him on the street, and he also stared at Li Chong with wide eyes, seeing that Li Chong was so angry that his snort was thick, and he secretly thought in his heart how to convince others that he was not acting recklessly by instigating the third prince Yang Yuanpu today.
This not only determines whether it is possible for him to further participate in the more confidential conspiracy of the Late Red Mansion, so as to have the opportunity to seize the initiative, but also determines whether he can continue to gain Yang Yuanpu's trust in the future.
He believed that Yang Yuanpu was only a teenager who was less than fourteen years old after all, and he should feel scared at this time, if the princess and Mrs. Wang hated him for acting recklessly and almost causing a big disaster, it was hard to believe that Yang Yuanpu would continue to trust him in the future.
The carriage ran over the long street, and the sound of "clicking" horses' hooves broke the silence of the long night, Han Qian glanced out of the corner of the window, and saw more than a dozen knights surrounded by the carriage, thinking that the style of the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion was indeed not comparable to his Han family.
As soon as the incense passed, Han Qian glanced out from the corner of the window, and saw that the carriage turned directly into the Evening Red Mansion, and galloped to a green hill from the inner alley, where he was sandwiched by Yao Xishui and Li Chong, and went up the stone steps, only to find that there was a three-story small wooden building among several towering ancient trees.
Climb up the wooden building, the third floor is a hall, climb the stairs, look out of the window at the staircase, through the dense foliage, the lights of the streets and alleys on the left and right are all under your feet.
A screen is placed horizontally in the hall, and the candle flame is high, reflecting the hall as bright as day, and the two figures sitting behind the screen are reflected on the silk embroidered screen.
From the reflection on the screen, Han Qian could see that behind him were sitting a woman with her hair in a bun and a middle-aged man with a long beard under her jaw and a head with a stretched head.
The head is a kind of leno soft towel wrapped around the head, and the head is tied to the two roots behind the head, which is also called the head and feet.
Emperor Tianyou founded the Chu State, and all systems were modeled after the previous dynasty, and ordinary people and low-level officials would hang down softly with their heads and feet; Only officials with high rank and rank are allowed to use materials such as gold and wood to support the head and spread it out on both sides, which is also called the foot of the head.
The long-bearded man behind the screen wore a foot on his head, except for the Marquis of Xinchang personally pursuing his reckless actions in the Evening Red Mansion, Han Qian also couldn't imagine that other officials in the court would run to the Evening Red Mansion to wait for him at this time.
"Han Qian has seen Madame and Master Hou!" Han Qian gritted his teeth regardless of Li Chong beside him, and bowed to the screen.
"If you don't pretend to be clever and clever there, will this save you from the sin of recklessness today?" Li Chong really couldn't imagine what a terrifying and catastrophic result this case would lead to if it was handed over to the officials of the Anning Palace and the crown prince's family to pursue today, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to draw the knife and sheath it in Han Qian's face.
"Madam, today is a close line and all the games are lost, Han Qian must not stay in the Linjiang Hou Mansion anymore!"
Li Chong gritted his back teeth and spoke behind the screen, his exposed hand holding the saber, staring at Han Qian with fierce eyes, as if waiting for Han Qian to make any rash moves, he drew his knife and slashed over.
Li Chong's words were threatening, but Han Qian, who had thought of a good statement on the way, didn't want to deal with him.
Han Qian guessed that Xinchanghou was also sitting behind the screen, such a big thing happened today, it was normal for Xinchanghou Li Pu to not be able to sit still, but when he saw Li Chong, he said to the woman who was wearing a pendant and a phoenix and shaking hairpin, and secretly wondered if this woman was presiding over the Red Chamber this night?
Yao Xishui stood aside, and his beautiful face was also full of frost.
At the beginning, she advocated using Han Qian as a chess piece, but she never thought that Han Qian would dare to instigate the third prince to do this risky trick today, she had no opinion on Li Chong's suggestion, but the question was what excuse to use to make Han Qian no longer show up in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion?
Killing Han Qian is obviously unrealistic.
The old servants of the Han Mansion, the family soldiers, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong and others all saw Han Qian being dragged into the carriage by Li Chong, and even if Han Qian himself agreed not to go to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, how could he persuade Han Daoxun to agree and persuade the palace to approve without pursuing it?
"Miss Yao wants to think about the future, it's best to wait for me to return home, send a team of robbers to destroy my family, and it is best to extinguish Qiuhu Mountain, but a fire will be burned clean, so that I don't leave a few words to implicate the late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang and the concubine......" Han Qian changed his meekness when he was in the carriage just now, stared at Yao Xishui with sharp eyes, and said with a sneer.
Yao Xishui raised her eyebrows, it wasn't that she didn't think of this plan, but it was just that it disturbed too much, and once the consequences were out of control and unimaginable, she didn't think of proposing it.
Han Qian knew that his momentum had to be fierce, but he couldn't let others see that he had a weak heart, so he continued to aggressively ask Yao Xishui: "Or does Miss Yao want me to fall off the horse like Zhou Kun and fall halfway, and all the problems will be solved?" ”
"It's better than losing your life or having your mouth destroyed!" Li Chong said compassionately.
"Idiot!" Han Qian scolded.
"Who are you scolding?" Li Chong held the knife horizontally in front of him, pulled out a piece of flickering cold light, and stared at Han Qian murderously and asked.
"Whoever is a fool will be scolded." Han Qian was not afraid of Li Chong's threat at all, and seemed to be happy to see Li Chong's forehead fluttering with anger.
In the carriage just now, he was still afraid of angering Li Chong and Yao Xishui, but at this time, he wanted to use Li Chong and Yao Xishui's anger to enhance his momentum.
Seeing that there were two backrest chairs in the corner of the wall, Han Qian rolled up the wide sleeves of his robe to his elbows, moved the chair to sit down in front of the screen, arched his hand towards the back of the screen and said, "Lord Hou and Madam, you have a great plan, but if you let Li Chong, a fool, continue to waste time in the Linjiang Hou Mansion, it will be a bad thing and you will lose everything!" ”
"Nonsense!" Li Chong raised his saber and was about to draw it with a sheath.
Li Chong thought that pulling Han Qian to the Evening Red Mansion would scare him so much that he could not be forced to self-harm and withdraw from the Third Prince, he could also tell him to be more peaceful in the future, but he didn't expect Han Qian to walk into the Evening Red Mansion, and he became arrogant, and he kept scolding him for being a fool, which was so angry that his heart and lungs were about to explode.
"Chong'er, don't be impatient, when he finishes speaking, it's not too late to sew up his mouth and cut off his tongue!" The man behind the screen finally spoke out to stop Li Chong, and also indirectly admitted his identity.
"Your Majesty is already sixty-four, if Your Majesty dies of a violent illness tomorrow, I ask the Hou Ye and Mrs., how will the Xinchang Hou Mansion and the Late Red Mansion deal with themselves?" Han Qian asked, "Anning Palace is not a good person, all these years of hatred for the concubine, once Your Majesty dies, how long will the Anning Palace endure before it will attack the concubine, His Royal Highness, and the Marquis of Xinchang's mansion and cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”
The original historical trajectory will not change, and Emperor Tianyou will die within five years, so Han Qian's words were full of confidence, and his tone was even more aggressive.
"The emperor is still in good health, you are alarmist, can you reduce your responsibility for being reckless today?" Yao Xishui stood beside him, and said with raised eyebrows, and he didn't mind letting Han Qian see the short blade she had hidden in her sleeve flickering with cold light.
"You still regard me as a reckless person who doesn't know how to learn, and it seems that I'm just another fool," Han Qian sneered, seeing Yao Xishui's eyebrows raised again, he asked, "Let me ask you, that fool Li Chong is on guard against me and slanders me in front of His Highness, but I am really as unlearned and reckless as Miss Yao thought, how can I persuade Your Highness to act with what I said today?" ”
Han Qian didn't want to risk being killed, so naturally he would never admit that he was also scared into a cold sweat afterwards.
Yao Xishui never thought that Han Qian's mouth would be so clever that she couldn't argue; She saw that Li Chong sneered again and again at this time, and there must be nothing to stop Han Qian's stinky mouth.
"When Miss Yao chose me as a target, she should have a very clear understanding of my situation, and she should also know that I had the name of a prodigy in Chuzhou when I was a child, in addition to reciting poems and books, I also have the ability to hold a strong bow, and I should also know that after my mother's death, my father thought I was a burden by my side and sent me back to Xuanzhou for sustenance, but what Miss Yao didn't know was that when I first arrived in Xuanzhou, I vomited and leaked day after day, and almost lost my life, and others said that I was unadaptable; What Miss Yao didn't know was that before Miss Yao, there were people who wanted to die of a violent illness,"
Han Qian looked up at the roof, as if he had fallen into the memories of the past,
"Miss Yao, think about it, if I wasn't greedy, lustful, and uninhibited, would I still be able to live a good life until now?"
Any lie must be nine percent true and a little false in order to confuse people's minds.
Speaking of this, Han Qian turned his head again, staring at Yao Xishui's eyes with confidence, he could see the hesitation in Yao Xishui's eyes, this was exactly the effect he needed, slowed down his speech, but asked more loudly: "Miss Yao still thinks that I am a reckless person who does not learn and has no skills?" ”
"Even if I used to look away, don't you know that if you act recklessly today, you will lose all the games if you miss one move?" With Han Qian's calmness and this rhetoric, no matter how much Yao Xishui wanted to quibble, he could only admit that he had looked at Han Qian in the past in front of Xinchang Marquis and his wife, but this did not mean that Han Qian acted without permission today, which was worthy of forgiveness.
