Chapter Eighty-Seven: The True Face of Lushan
Seeing Dugu Jialuo's expression change greatly, I had a feeling of gaining the upper hand, and said: "It's strange, how do I know that you are the jade prince." Then I'll tell you one by one. ”
"Jade Boy, Jade Boy. When ordinary people hear Gongzi, they think it is a man, but they never think that Yu Gongzi can actually be a woman. After all, no one has ever seen the true face of Yu Gongzi, except for Yu Wenyong. You love to wear magnolia-scented sachets, so Yuwenyong will have some magnolia scent on his body every time he meets you. As soon as I went back to Liuxuefang, I noticed the magnolia fragrance on Yuwen Yong's body, and you were afraid of arousing my suspicion, so you threw away the sachet you had been wearing. But I didn't expect that your husband, Yang Jian, put away the sachet you threw away, and still wore it on his body, which I saw. Later, I found out that every time Yuwenyong went to Liuxue Fang, a pot of green bamboo would be placed in the window of the private room on the third floor where you met alone, and in normal times, there was no bamboo in that room, which was intriguing. It wasn't until I went to Yang's Mansion and saw that your daughter also used the same method to avoid her father with the green bamboo as a code, that I was more sure of the idea in my heart - Yu Gongzi and Yu Wenyong used the green bamboo by the window as the code for their meeting. So what kind of meeting needs to be so cautious? ”
"Fengyue has always been an excellent place to explore intelligence. Liuxuefang is the most famous song and dance workshop in Chang'an City, and it is a place where dignitaries and nobles often come and go, as long as they have a heart, they can get some news from these officials, even secrets. ”
"Yang Jian told me that his wife is a talented woman who is good at composing, and it just so happens that Yu Gongzi is also a composer genius. You like to wear sachets, you are good at composing, and your daughter has learned from you how to use green bamboo as a code for action. This kind of connection makes me sure that you are the jade prince. And you, in fact, are the person in charge of collecting and sorting out the information of the imperial court officials in Liuxue Fang. Every meeting between you and Yuwen Yong is to pass on information, so that he can keep abreast of the movements of the court and fight against Yuwen Woo! ”
I looked at her fixedly, Dugu Jialuo looked shocked, and said: "You are really careful, you can deduce everything from observation alone, no wonder Brother Yong told me not to underestimate you." ”
"I know that your father was killed by Yuwen Go, and you are doing all this to avenge your father." I tried my best to ignore the dagger around my neck, and lowered her heart defense with a kind gaze, "Dugu Jialuo is not a woman who is bound by the private affairs of her children, you want to kill me, in fact, it is for the sake of that painting." You think that picture of Concubine Xiang was stolen by me, you don't believe that I am on your side, and you don't believe that I am pretending to take refuge in Yuwenhu, right? ”
Dugu Jialuo suddenly became vigilant, "How much do you know about painting?" ”
"Yuwen Xiaobo, like you, is also one of the important people who collected news of the court for Yuwen Yong. Every time he presents books, calligraphy and paintings to Yuwen Yong, he is delivering news to Yu Wenyong. On that day, the second prince licked the calligraphy and painting because there was sugar on it, and the child was so sweet that he would lick it non-stop. Therefore, I guess that Yuwen Xiaobo's method of delivering the message is: use sugar water to write words in the blank space of the book or calligraphy and painting, and as long as Yuwen Yong roasts it with fire, those words will appear. Therefore, the books presented by Yuwen Xiaobo will always be a single page, only one side is written, and the other side is left blank. Yu Wenyong will burn it every time he finishes what he offers. ”
Looking at Dugu Jialuo's shocked appearance, I patiently persuaded: "Look, I know everything. If it was really me who stole that painting, I was really Yuwen Hu's person, Liuxue Fang would have been copied a long time ago, and you and Yuwen Xiaobo would not have been safe until now. I didn't tell Ubungo your secrets, doesn't that prove that I'm on your side? ”
Dugu Jialuo's heart gradually relaxed, and I was about to continue to persuade when I suddenly heard a loud shout, "Jialuo, put down the knife!" ”
But seeing Yuwen Yong and Yuwen Xiaobo hurrying to this side, Dugu Jialuo was already relaxed, and when he shouted like this, he gave up the idea of hurting me, and finally put down the dagger.
"How are you, are you alright?" As soon as Yuwen Yong arrived, he pulled me aside, for fear that Dugu Jialuo would make another move. He was very nervous, and after carefully examining my neck to make sure that there were no scratches, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to reprimand Dugu Jialuo, "Jialuo, you are too nonsense!" ”
"Brother Ah Yong-" Seeing Yuwen Yong's cold appearance, Dugu Jialuo had to change his words, "Your Majesty, I was too impulsive and misunderstood Xiao Shangshu, and it won't be like this in the future." ”
"No more, I won't let you hurt her in the slightest! If not, Hugh blames me for being ruthless! ”
Yuwen Yong put down such cruel words, Dugu Jialuo and Yuwen Xiaobo were shocked. Yu Wenyong grabbed my hand and took me away from Bitan, where there was a thrilling scene.
At night, Dugu Jialuo came to apologize to me: "Today I was too impulsive and misunderstood you, I apologize to you." ”
Dugu Jialuo said very sincerely, the moonlight like water fell on her beautiful face and looked particularly moving, I smiled back and said: "I don't blame you, you are also anxious for a while, and now the misunderstanding is solved." ”
Dugu Jialuo was stunned for a moment, and said: "You didn't care about my unreasonableness, which shows your generosity, no wonder Brother A Yong is ......"
I stopped her and said something else, "Mrs. Yang, have you ever wondered why Yang Jian put away the sachet you threw away?" ”
"Why?"
I smiled like a clear breeze, "Because he has you in his heart, because he loves you, he values everything about you so much, even the things you discard and don't use, he has to pick them up and treasure them carefully." He also told me that you are unique and irreplaceable. Don't you understand his affection for you? ”
Dugu Jialuo's eyes were shocked, and then he understood, and his eyebrows were half surprised and half moved.
When I saw her like this, I understood seven or eight points in my heart, and said: "Maybe your union was a political marriage and an exchange of interests. But now? For you, is it just a benefit, can you say that you don't care about him and have no feelings for him? ”
Hearing me ask like this, Dugu Jialuo stopped talking and fell into a silent silence.
I had the heart to mention her and said, "Have you ever thought that he praised me in front of you, maybe he wanted you to be vinegared, to see if you care about him and whether you have him in your heart." He's doing this just to get your attention. ”
Looking at Dugu Jialuo, who was deeply touched and overwhelmed under the hazy moonlight, I continued to induce, "Actually, you care about him, right, then why don't you tell him?" and led him to take me and tempt you in every way. ”
Even if he is as cool as Dugu Jialuo, he can't help but be scared in the face of love, and he is confused: "I don't know how to say it." ”
"What are you afraid of, you are husband and wife, isn't it normal for you to be happy with each other?" I couldn't help but smile and resolve to encourage her.
"Actually, you also understand that Your Majesty is just a memory of your youth, and the person you really love now is your husband. But he doesn't understand, you have to say it so he understands. I pointed out the crux of their couple's problems, "You just need to say 'care', and all the problems can be solved." I've often heard people say that the most important thing for a husband and wife is to be honest with each other. If you can't even be honest about your true feelings, then what kind of husband and wife? ”
The moonlight was silent, and after some entanglement and contemplation, Dugu Jialuo finally figured it out, "I understand, Xiao Shangshu, thank you." ”
Looking at the figure of Dugu Jialuo walking away in the cool moonlight, my eyebrows stretched, do I count as a good deed.
"Qingqiang is really warm-hearted, and she is here at night to help His Majesty's old lover untie his knot." Caught off guard, a deep voice sounded behind him.
Yuwen Hu, who was dressed in a dark robe, suddenly appeared, and the white carved flying pattern embroidered with silver on the robe became more and more piercing under the reflection of the moonlight. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately I didn't say anything dangerous with Dugu Jialuo, otherwise it would have been bad.
I bowed down to him, "Otsuka Zai." ”
"Are there any abnormalities in the days you have been with Yu Wenyong?" Yuwen Hu asked suddenly.
I pondered: "He spends his whole day playing chess, playing calligraphy and painting, playing the flute and playing music, riding a horse and practicing swords, and then he goes out of the palace to play." No anomalies have been observed at this time. ”
"What do you think of Yuwen Xiaobo?"
My heart skipped a slight beat, and I quickly regained my composure, "This person has no ambitions, and he will only follow His Majesty's chant and make the moon all day long, and he will not do his job. Why, Otsuka Jae suspects him? ”
"It's not that I suspect it, maybe it's a lot of hearts." Yuwen Wu hesitated.
I said, "Don't worry, Otsuka Zai, I will keep an eye on him, and once Yuwen Xiaobo has any changes, Qingqiang will immediately inform Otsuka Zai." ”
Yuwen Hu sighed at Yue Changkong, "I hope it's a lot of hearts." ”
——
After meeting with Yu Wenhu, I returned to the residence of Lishan Palace, walked alone on the white stone path, the moonlight on the palace wall moved, and the moonlight soaked my apricot yellow striped skirt, all over my body was translucent, and I gently raised my sleeves, as if the water light fluctuated, as if placed between the water and the moon in the deep lake. Looking at the leaves of the surrounding trees are silver-plated, bright and shining, it is really dreamlike.
Looking up, looking at the blue white moon, his eyebrows were lightly raised, and he didn't feel a sense of amazement. I think I'm missing Mo Ziwei a little.
Suddenly, under the snowy moonlight, there was a lonely person, and when I stared at it, it was Ling'er. Then he walked over and said, "Ling'er, the moonlight is cold, what are you doing standing here alone?" ”
The snow-white moonlight illuminated Ling'er's face a little pale, "I'm waiting for my sister." ”
I felt that something was wrong, and said, "What's wrong with you, with a sad face, this is not like you." ”
"Maybe I've read too many novels, and I'm inexplicably a little sad." Ling Er's bright face lost her usual brightness, "I suddenly feel that people's hearts are unpredictable, just like what is written in the book, love this for a while, love that for a while." One moment hates this, the next hates that. Today they are friends, tomorrow they may be enemies. The world is unpredictable and unpredictable. ”
"The human heart is unpredictable." I whispered a little, then smiled at her again, "But that doesn't include you, Ling'er. Our Ling'er, the mind is the simplest, and it will definitely not deceive people. Right? ”
Ling'er replied with a smile as insignificant as my starlight, and after a moment of silence, she said firmly: "However, no matter how people's hearts change and how things change in the world, I will always stand on my sister's side, and Ling'er will never betray my sister." ”
I was a little moved, and softly told her: "It's cold, you take care of yourself, and go back to rest early." ”
Ling'er nodded, and when she went back, she turned her head and smiled at me, smiling like the most brilliant sunflower under the day.
After I watched Ling'er leave, I walked to the door, and my mind suddenly flashed the situation of the maid of the Flower Palace, Lu Ming, when she died, and the beaded flower style of the third-grade female official, and my thoughts became confused for a while.
The scholar girl Zhong Yu didn't admit it, maybe she was really wronged? However, the dead should not lie, doesn't Lu Ming's finger stretching out to the north hint at the direction of our murderer, could it be that we are mistaken, she is not referring to the direction, but something else?
Qi Guogong - Yuwen Xian, only he knows that Yuwen Xiaobo wants to sacrifice the picture of the Xiang concubine. Although Yuwen Xiaobo repeatedly promised that Yuwenxian would not leak secrets, what if Yuwenxian inadvertently said that he leaked his mouth and was taken advantage of.
I think it's necessary for me to pay a visit to Woo Wen-heon.
After thinking about it again, I still took a step and walked in the direction of Yu Wenxian's residence.
At the end of the two-day autumn hunt, the group set off back to Chang'an. I sat in the carriage, thinking about what Yu Wenxian told me last night, my eyebrows were locked, and I couldn't calm down.
"What's wrong with you, you look preoccupied." Yu Wenyong saw my strange appearance.
I shook my head and denied, "It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired from the autumn hunt these two days, and I'm a little out of spirit, so it's okay to slow down." ”
Yu Wenyong looked suspicious, I turned to the shadow of the mountains and trees outside the car window, my heart fluctuated, and I couldn't even hear the sound of the wheels turning in my ears.
