Chapter Seventy-One: To the Courtyard
On this day, Zhao Qirui rushed back home before dinner, but his expression was much deeper than when he left in the morning, just like the sky outside, overcast.
The first thing he did when he returned home every day was to change his clothes and bathe, but today he did not let anyone prepare water. Du Qin was suspicious, so he asked people to arrange the meal, and the two of them simply ate a little and let Su Qing pull it down.
After a while, there was lightning and thunder outside, and the wind suddenly rose, and Du Qinxin, who had been holding back for a long time, still opened his mouth and asked him what happened.
Zhao Qirui glanced at her and stopped talking.
"Have you packed your things?"
"Go back to the prince, pack up!" He didn't want to say it, and Du Qinxin couldn't ask after him.
A heavy rain fell, smashing down the few remaining flowers on the pomegranate tree.
Su Li came in the rain, looking sad, "Lord..."
Zhao Qirui closed his eyes, sighed deeply, turned around to let Du Qinxin rest, and the two disappeared into the night rain.
Zhao Qirui was not there, and Du Qinxin naturally couldn't sleep steadily, but fortunately, the rain stopped not long after, and it swept away the heat that had been stuffy for a day.
Dali Temple.
There were two corpses lying on the ground with countless knife wounds, and the grieving Zhao Qirui and others stood aside. This is a few of his right-hand men who sent to investigate those old departments, after so many years of birth and death for him, Zhao Qirui's friendship with them is no weaker than Su Li's long wind.
"Lord Wang, the three of us are gone, and this account can't be settled like this. Guiyun's life and death are now unknown! Su Li's eyes were red and full of anger.
"Quickly find and return to the clouds!" Zhao Qirui put his hands behind his back and clenched his fists, hating to break those people into pieces.
"Lord Wang! The Long Wind is back! ”
Changfeng, who spoke, came in with Guiyun, who was seriously injured, on his back.
"Lord Wang!"
Guiyun's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his original face clearly.
"Doctor, please! Fast! Zhao Qirui roared angrily.
"Back to the prince, I've already gone!" Changfeng carefully put Guiyun down and returned.
Guiyun heard a familiar voice, and it took him a long time to open his eyes, and his breath was weak, "Wang... Lord, there are more than 8,000 people, some mixed in Beijing, some outside, all under the orders of the prince..."
Guiyun was powerless to tell Zhao Qirui the news that he had exchanged his life.
"You rest first, and we'll talk about these things later!"
"The queen may have any movements, and her subordinates haven't found out yet..." Guiyun didn't listen to Zhao Qirui's words, for fear that he would die, so he couldn't tell him the news. But as soon as the words were finished, a mouthful of blood gushed out.
"Good, good! The king knows, and the doctor will come soon! Zhao Qirui clicked on a few of his acupoints, making him unable to move or speak.
When the doctor came, Guiyun was already dying, and he had to work hard to save his life for the time being, but if he couldn't survive this night, even Da Luo Immortal couldn't!
Fortunately, although the person did not wake up on the second day, his pulse was much more stable, and it should not be a big problem to take care of him for a while.
Zhao Qirui left Su Li and Changfeng to take care of Guiyun and returned to the palace by himself.
After the rain, the sky was clear, but Du Qinxin was sad because Zhao Qirui did not return overnight.
"Niangniang, the prince is back!"
Su Ling came to report.
Du Qinxin got up and greeted him outside the durian garden, something must have happened when he left in such a hurry last night, and he thought that he would not be able to go to the other courtyard today!
"Lord Wang, are you back?"
Zhao Qirui noticed the faint black green under her eyes, and knew that she might not have rested well last night, so he reached out to help her up.
"Worries you!"
It was natural to be worried, but fortunately he returned safely, but the expression on his face was not much better than last night.
After Du Qinxin got up, he took his arm and entered the courtyard, and asked as he walked: "Lord, can you go to the other courtyard today?" ”
"Go! You tell them to load their stuff into the wagon! After the king changes clothes and washes, let's go! ”
Du Qin was stunned for a moment, nodded, and motioned Su Qing to go down and personally serve Zhao Qirui to change clothes and wash!
"Lord Wang, otherwise, let's go to another courtyard another day!" After Zhao Qirui bathed, Du Qinxin helped him twist his ink hair and reminded him in a low voice.
"What? You don't want to go! Zhao Qirui looked at her through the bronze mirror and asked.
"It's not that the concubine doesn't want to go, it's just that I'm afraid of delaying the prince's handling of government affairs!" She was cautious, for fear of hurting him.
"Nothing is bigger than that!" Zhao Qirui didn't say much after saying this.
The loss of two loyal subordinates was very painful for him, who had been so brave on the battlefield, but now they died in vain.
"When this king returns, I will definitely settle this account with them!"
Feeling the chill in his words, Du Qin was stunned for a moment, and looked down to see her clenched fist, her green tendons bulged, she bit her lip lightly, and didn't ask any more.
By the time Zhao Qirui cleaned up, Su Qing had already loaded all the things he needed into the carriage.
When Du Qinxin arrived at the gate of the mansion, he found that Mama Qin was also there, "Mama will also go with you?" ”
After Mama Qin saluted, she nodded, "The old slave must accompany the princess and princess!" ”
After everyone got into the carriage and set off, a green kite in a peach-pink dress in the palace was full of regret!
"Where can the prince go?" happened to catch the housekeeper who sent Zhao Qirui out of the house.
"Mrs. Huizhuang, the prince said to take the princess to the Wanguo Temple for incense!" The butler replied respectfully.
Wanguo Temple?
"When will you return?"
"The old slave doesn't know!" The butler replied and withdrew.
Zhuang Qingyuan returned to the glazed pavilion in disbelief.
The prince and Du Qinxin were not in the mansion, it was a great opportunity to do it, Zhuang Qingyuan thought of that incident for a while.
Zhao Qirui and his entourage were indeed heading in the direction of Wanguo Temple. It's just that when I got to the intersection in front of the Temple of All Nations, I turned around and headed in another direction.
Xu didn't sleep all night, Zhao Qirui was closing his eyes all the way, and Du Qinxin was not easy to disturb.
After a long time of staggering, the carriage stopped.
"Lord Wang! It's here! ”
Zhao Qirui jumped down, Su Qing lifted the curtain, and there was a delicate courtyard in his eyes, even the words on the door plaque were different from other places, and the pen was from the woman's hand, and the three words of "Lingyun Courtyard" showed a graceful atmosphere.
"Mother, slow down!" Helping Du Qinxin get out of the carriage, the others were busy carrying the things on the carriage.
Zhao Qirui stared at the door plaque since he got out of the car. He didn't even notice Du Qinxin approaching.
"Lord Wang?"
When he came back to his senses, he turned around and glanced at Du Qinxin, his eyes were moist, and he took her hand and entered the courtyard.
This courtyard is not large, it is built against the mountain, and there is a stream flowing not far away. Elegant and refined, even the grass and trees in the yard are finely trimmed and perfect.
"Lord Wang! It's so beautiful here! Du Qin was emotional.
Zhao Qirui smiled at her, he had been looking for half a year to find such a place, not to mention the effort spent on construction!
Xu informed the servants here in advance, they had already prepared lunch, and after a morning in the car, they were indeed a little hungry, or even because of this beautiful scenery, their appetite was also greatly increased, and Du Qinxin ate more than usual!
"Don't be greedy, hold on!" Zhao Qirui seemed to be in a much better mood since he arrived in this courtyard, and when he saw that she was using more meals than usual, he reminded with a doting face!
