Chapter 111: Catching the Rapist (Continued)
In a corner of the garden, under the pavilion between the mountains and rivers, the Queen Mother Chi Mingyue is watching the fish, and Wang Xin, the left small palace uncle who is not on duty today, sits next to him and says some interesting things, which makes Yu Chi Mingyue smile from time to time, covering her mouth with a fan.
There is a fruit plate on the dining table, with all kinds of melons and fruits, Yu Chi Mingyue looked at the fish in the pond by the pavilion, and his heart was not on these fish at all, and Wang Xin, who was telling jokes, was not in the jokes he said.
Wang Xin looks handsome, young, and noble, while Yu Chi Mingyue looks like a fairy, also young and noble, a man and a woman sit so close, talking and laughing, looking like a newlywed couple from a distance, it is the time to mix oil in honey.
Several palace maids who followed the Queen Mother stood not far from the pavilion, standing with their hands down, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Zuo Xiaogongbo has been pleasing the Queen Mother, this matter is an open secret, but no one has said it, since the Prime Minister, the Duke and Mrs. of the Emperor and the Queen Mother herself have no opinions, then the palace maids naturally dare not do much.
It is said that the queen mother wants to widow the first emperor, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the prime minister will change the dynasty sooner or later, so in the new dynasty, the queen mother, as the niece of the prime minister, will probably become the princess of the new dynasty, and it is inevitable to remarry.
And marrying Zuo Xiaogongbo, the two are a good match, and they are both happy, since they are a couple sooner or later, it is not a big deal to be intimate now.
When the Duchess of the Kingdom of Xuan was present, the Zuo Xiaogong Uncle did not dare to be so close to the Queen Mother, and now the Duchess of the Kingdom has taken the prince out of the palace, and the Queen of the Kingdom of Xuan is talking to the nobles on the other side of the garden.
Seeing that Xiao Zuo Gongbo picked up a grape and handed it to the queen mother's mouth, the heads of the palace maids became lower and lower.
Yu Chi Mingyue saw Wang Xin pinching a peeled grape and handed it over, her heart was like a deer, her cheeks were red, and when she hesitated, she saw Wang Xin smiling at herself, so she shyly opened her cherry mouth, bit the grape, and ate it into her mouth.
The taste of grapes, Yu Chi Mingyue can't taste it anymore, because she is now full of sweetness, and she feels that everything she eats is sweet.
When she was hanging, Wang Xin was pursuing her, and Yu Chi Mingyue didn't react at first, but she was not a fool, Wang Xin was dangling in front of her when she had something to do, and she could always react.
After returning to Yecheng, Wang Xin became more and more attentive, Yu Chi Mingyue was in turmoil, she thought that she had no chance of happiness after being abandoned by the Son of Heaven, and now that someone is so close to her, she doesn't know what to do for a while.
The mood was scared and expectant, seeing that her parents acquiesced, and her sister didn't make a sound, Wei Chi Mingyue felt that she should be bitter.
Since she will inevitably marry Wang Xin in the future, Yu Chi Mingyue feels that it doesn't hurt to be closer to her future husband now, so the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, although there is no substantial breakthrough, and there is no hugging, but the two sit closer and closer when they are alone.
Seeing Wang Xin hand over another grape, Yu Chi Mingyue still ate it shyly, and then heard the other party ask: "Mingyue, is this grape delicious?" ”
"Hmm." Yu Chi Mingyue nodded, not feeling rude because the other party called her name.
"Do you still want to eat it?"
"I won't eat it."
A woman's name is generally not known to outsiders, and the people who can call her name are basically relatives, Yu Chi Mingyue no longer regards Wang Xin as an outsider, and Wang Xin only felt dry when she saw Yu Chi Mingyue's shy face.
Glancing outside the pavilion, he was sure that Queen Yi did not appear, and the other party's position could not be seen here, and the Duchess and the prince of the Kingdom of Xuan had already left the palace, so now was the best opportunity.
Yu Chi Mingyue lowered her head and wrung her hands, and suddenly her right hand was held by Wang Xin, and at that moment she almost jumped up, wanting to withdraw her hand, but she heard a sentence: "Mingyue, I'm leaving, going to Henan to fight." ”
"Huh?"
Yu Chi Mingyue's attention was instantly shifted to "going to Henan to fight", and she couldn't care about pulling her hand back, Wang Xin smiled, in Yu Chi Mingyue's opinion, she was forced to laugh, and couldn't help blurting out: "Then that, then when will you come back?" ”
"The war situation in Henan is critical, I don't know when I can come back."
Wei Chi Mingyue was upset when she heard this, but she was stopped by Wang Xin and picked up, and before she could exclaim, she heard the other party say: "Before I go on the expedition, I want to marry you!" Concubine Shu is in charge, I will marry you soon, let you give birth to offspring for me, and continue the incense for the Wang family! ”
Yu Chi Mingyue's head went blank when she heard this, and she forgot to struggle, Wang Xinlan held her in the pavilion and turned around a few times, making her a little dizzy, and she didn't even know what to say.
The palace maid outside the pavilion saw that Zuo Xiaogongbo actually walked outside the pavilion of the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but be shocked.
The palace maids were just about to step forward, but they were glared at by Wang Xin: "It's not a lot!" The official and the queen mother have their own concubine Shu in charge! ”
When it comes to this, where do the palace ladies dare to speak up, let alone go to the Queen Mother's sister Queen Yi for help, after all, Concubine Shu wants them to die, but it is just a matter of one sentence.
So they could only watch, watching Xiao Zuo Gongbo stop his waist and hug the queen mother, and walk briskly along the corridor towards the rockery on the other side, but no one dared to say anything, no one dared to ask for help.
Yu Chi Mingyue's mind is full of "proposing", she knows that sooner or later she will be Wang Xin's person, and the other party is now going to propose to her in advance, to be married to her before going to the battlefield, and to make her pregnant with the blood of the Wang family.
Panic, happiness, shyness, all kinds of thoughts mixed together Yu Chi Mingyue didn't know how to face it, didn't know whether to refuse or accept, she had forgotten that she was being held by Wang Xin, and when she came back to her senses, she had been placed by Wang Xin on the grass behind the rockery.
There was a rockery on one side and a wall on the other, and the rockery blocked the view in the direction of the pavilion, and Wang Xin, just above her, knelt on the ground, with his hands on the ground next to her shoulders, looking down at her.
At this moment, there are only two people here.
Although they hadn't hugged each other yet, Yu Chi Mingyue couldn't help but breathe short of breath when she saw the other party's burning gaze, and she didn't know whether to resist or be at the mercy of the other party, but she just kept saying, "Don't... Don't...."
Wang Xin looked at the beauty with red cheeks under him, and felt that his whole body was very hot, and he wanted to "cook raw rice and mature rice" today, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Yu Chi Mingyue will inevitably remarry in the future, and the elders will let him marry each other by default, but Wang Xin is always worried that the night will be long and dreamy, so he has always wanted to "strike first".
Although Concubine Shu is tough, she is not young after all, in case of an accident, there is no need for Gong Yu to please the Wang family, and I am afraid that he will not agree to the marriage between him and Yu Chi Mingyue at that time.
Similarly, after Concubine Shu is no longer alive, Cheng is afraid that he will not be too concerned about this marriage, not to mention that the situation in the court is not very good now, in case the prime minister wants to win over some local heroes, and even the family is high-level, and uses Yu Chi Mingyue as a bargaining chip, what will happen to him Wang Xin at that time?
So cook the raw rice to mature rice!
Seeing that Yu Chi Mingyue was now like a ripe fruit, waiting for him to pick it, Wang Xin became more and more excited, in order to avoid being too anxious and causing an accident, he used another trick: "Mingyue, you were going to marry me, didn't you?" ”
Wei Chi Mingyue knew that this was right and couldn't refuse, Wang Xin saw that the beauty had no intention of resisting, his heart was overjoyed, and he was about to press it down, but he heard movement on the side, turned his head to look, and saw several eunuchs jumping over the wall, and just landed beside them.
Wu Ming, who was pretending to be a eunuch, saw the scene in front of him, and his first reaction was to apologize, after all, it was not authentic to disturb a pair of mandarin ducks.
Then when he saw the woman lying on the grass, he was stunned for a few moments, and then froze: What is the situation?!
One of the situations: before he climbed over the wall, he found that there was a pavilion on the other side of the rockery, and there were palace maids outside the pavilion, and they turned their backs one by one, as if they deliberately did not look at the rockery.
Situation 2: In front of her, Princess Xiyang was lying under the man, although the two had not hugged each other, Princess Xiyang obviously had no intention of resisting.
Situation 3: Princess Xiyang looked at him, full of horror, her eyes were not dazed, not like she had been drugged, drunk and even delirious.
Conclusion: Princess Xiyang opened the palace maid and deliberately hid behind the rockery and had an affair with this man.
Wu Ming's thinking was quick, and he instantly came to a conclusion based on various circumstances, he looked at the men and women in front of him who were about to compromise, and only felt that his heart cracked.
He didn't have any thoughts about Princess Xiyang, he just felt sad for King Xiyang, how deep King Xiyang's feelings for the princess were, Wu Ming knew, King Xiyang had been trying to find a way to save the princess, and the princess turned out to be....
Wu Ming didn't know what kind of sad and indignant expression King Xiyang would have after knowing the truth.
'I did my duty loyally, and led people to dig tunnels into the palace with great difficulty, originally to save people, but it turned out to be a traitor!! ’
Wu Ming thought so, his heart was full of grief and indignation, and several other subordinates were also stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, they didn't expect that the princess, who was in love with the King of Xiyang, would do such a thing.
They ventured to dig tunnels into the palace this time to save the princess and the prince, but they ran into the princess's ugly thing, in this case, where would the princess go with them, but they couldn't save the princess, how could they go back?
People on both sides froze, and the first to react was Wang Xin, who was at a critical juncture when he saw these eunuchs who came over the wall holding short knives and wooden sticks in their hands, and his heart almost stopped beating in fright.
Wang Xin, who was about to erupt with a fever all over his body, was frightened by this moment and instantly "cooled", and something that was already tense immediately softened.
He got up in fright, turned around and ran around, leaving the frightened Yu Chi Mingyue, curled up, his originally rosy cheeks turned white.
said that it was too late and that was fast, Wu Mingsan chased after him in two steps, picked up the short stick and knocked it on the back of Wang Xin's head, Wang Xin was knocked unconscious before he could shout, Wu Ming took the short stick, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and saluted and said:
"His subordinate Wu Ming has knocked out the person who intended to despise the princess, and asked the princess to lead her subordinates down to save the son, and then escape with her subordinates."
Wu Ming felt that he had come, and he had to put **... The princess and the prince were rescued, and how the king of Xiyang dealt with it in the future is none of his business.
The scene he saw today, he would truthfully tell the king of Xiyang, if the princess was unwilling to go, then he would only save the world, but now in order to give the princess a step down, he had to open his eyes and talk nonsense, Wu Ming felt that it was too aggrieved.
After a while, I heard a female voice ask, "You... Are you Wu Ming? ”
The voice is not right, this is not the voice of the princess, Wu Ming raised his head and looked at the "princess" carefully, and then was dumbfounded: "Ah.. Is it the Four Girls? ”
Yu Chi Mingyue, who was curled up on the ground, recognized that the person in front of her was Wu Ming, when she was in Anlu, she often went in and out of her sister's and brother-in-law's mansion, so she was very familiar with the lay monk Wu Ming, and now she saw that the uninvited guest was Wu Ming, she didn't know what to say next.
Fang was bumped into by an acquaintance in that scene, she was ashamed of herself, and she still had some face.
Wu Ming and his subordinates looked at each other, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief, almost crying with joy: Amitabha, it's okay, it's okay, it's not a princess!
Princess Xiyang has a younger sister, the two sisters are a few years apart, but they look very similar, and most of the palace guards know about it, so Wu Ming knew that he had recognized the wrong person just now, and he couldn't help but feel guilty for his malicious speculation about the princess.
Without further ado, there was no time to reminisce, Wu Ming opened his mouth and asked: "Girl, I came to save the princess and the prince on the order of the king of Xiyang, I don't know if the girl knows where the princess and the prince are now?" ”
。。。。。。
In the other corner of the garden, Queen Yi (Princess of Xiyang) Wei Chi Chifan is talking with Princess Qianjin, and the Son of Heaven (Prince of Xiyang) Yuwen Weicheng is frolicking on the side, teasing the white dog "Xiaobai" with his playmates.
Yu Chi Chi Fan and his son were placed under house arrest in the palace, and Princess Qianjin was also placed under house arrest in the palace.
The princess broke a leg in the accident last year, although it was connected, but she limped and walked at a lame speed, so Yu Chi Chi ordered someone to build a cart, and the princess sat on the cart with her feet down, and was pushed around the palace by the palace maid, as a means of transportation.
Because of the attention of Yu Chi Chi Fan and Yu Chi Mingyue from time to time, the daughter princess, who had already lost power, lived a good life in the palace, except that she had no freedom, and her food and clothing had always maintained the level of the eldest princess.
Today's weather is good, and after Wei Chi Chifan sent his mother and younger brother away, he sent someone to invite the princess to come to the garden to sit and chat by the way.
The princess has gone through hardships over the years, and she doesn't care about what happened to her, she is very open-minded, although she broke her leg and became lame, but she has always been very cheerful.
The daughter princess who was under house arrest in the palace was in a state of isolation, and the only more reliable source was the sister of the Yu Chi family, but there were some things that Yu Chi Chi Chi and Yu Chi Mingyue could not say, so the daughter princess still didn't know how her brother was, let alone what the situation outside had become.
Chatting and chatting, Princess Qianjin was thoughtful, Yu Chi Chifan was also thoughtful, Yu Chi Mingyue and Zuo Xiaogong Bo Wang Xin went to the mountain pool on the other side of the garden, she always felt that it was inappropriate, and wanted to go and see, but it was not easy to leave.
This kind of thing involves his sister's reputation, and Wei Chi Chifan feels that if he behaves too anxiously, he is afraid that it will make people gossip, but if he doesn't go over to take a look, in case something happens...
However, Yu Chi Mingyue will inevitably marry Wang Xin in the future, this is a tacit matter for the elders, and Wei Chi Chifan feels that if he makes a "catch" in the past, everyone will not look good.
Therefore, what can happen to the two of them over there, and what can they do, Wei Chi Chifan is afraid that she will be nosy, which will lead to a failure in her marriage, and she has no face to face her parents and sister.
Yu Chi Chi Fan and Princess Qianjin had their own thoughts, chatting one sentence at a time, at this moment, several eunuchs came over from the side of the mountain pool, and Yu Chi Chi Fan felt a little strange when he saw it.
In that area of Shanshui Pond, there is only one door in and out, and if others want to go, they must pass near the place where she is, and there is no other way.
The entourage who followed Yu Chi Mingyue to the Shanshui Pond were all palace maids, and after that, Yu Chi Chi Fan never saw a eunuch in the past, she didn't feel that she was looking away, so....
How did these eunuchs come from the Shanshui Pond?
