Chapter 120: A Raccoon Dog
Next to a stall selling masks, King Xuan saw that Lord Yushu's eyes fell on the mask with the little rabbit pattern, and waved his big hand, "Come, this book...... I bought it. ”
Seeing that Yushu frowned, King Xuan pointed to a few masks next to him, and said self-righteously: "This, that, and that, also wrap them together." ”
He took out a silver ticket and looked very generous and bold.
It was the first time that the peddler had seen a mask that was obviously a few pennies, and someone had such a generous shot, so he hurriedly took the silver ticket with a grateful expression: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
"Xuan ...... Son. Yushu's red lips opened lightly, and she said in a low voice, "I don't want these masks." ”
"Huh?" When King Xuan heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled awkwardly: "Miss Yu doesn't like it?" ”
When you go out, you naturally can't reveal your identity.
Since Yushu called King Xuan "Prince Xuan", then King Xuan called Yushu "Miss Jade".
"I don't like it." Okok shook her head, turned and walked forward.
King Xuan touched his nose and was puzzled.
Doesn't it mean that Lord Yushu likes rabbits the most? And the look in her eyes that looked at the rabbit mask just now obviously liked it very much, why didn't she say she didn't like it?
"Childe, then these masks ......" The peddler finally got such a large sum of silver, and when he heard Yushu say no, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys suddenly twisted together, and he clutched the silver ticket in his hand tightly, and he was very distressed.
King Xuan waved his hand irritably and hurried to follow Yushu.
Yushu looked at the couple of men and women who stopped next to the sugar gourd stall in front of her, her eyes were lonely.
The man is dressed in purple, and his elegance is unparalleled, there is no doubt that Chen Zexuan is it.
The woman was dressed in pink, delicate and shy, and she was Princess Xiyue, the sister of King Xuan.
King Xuan not only wanted to marry the lord of Yushu, but also wanted Xiyue to marry Chen Zexuan, so he was even more happy. Strong alliance, and the in-law relationship with Nanyang can be more stable.
Therefore, today King Xuan took Xi Yue to take the initiative to go to the old mansion of King Nanyang, under the pretext of letting Xi Yue take Yushu to the capital, in order to increase the chance of contact with Chen Zexuan's brothers and sisters.
Regarding King Xuan's invitation, Chen Zexuan did not refuse, but readily agreed.
As for Yushu, at first she didn't know the purpose of King Xuan.
In her opinion, as long as she can be with her brother, she can go anywhere.
Previously, for the sake of Xiyue's future, Concubine De did not approve of her marriage to Chen Zexuan.
This time, Xiyue was able to come out, and it was King Xuan who casually lied and deceived Concubine De, so that Xiyue was able to get out.
Originally, it was four people walking, but because King Xuan deliberately slowed down his pace, it gradually became a two-person walk.
Along the way, looking at King Xuan's courtesy from time to time, Yushu, who has always been sensitive, also guessed what he meant......
When she was a child, she once made the king of Nanyang angry, so she angrily locked herself in the house for a whole day.
didn't eat or drink, the king and princess of Nanyang couldn't do anything about her, so Chen Zexuan didn't know where to catch a little rabbit to make her happy.
When she saw the cute little rabbit, she burst into tears and laughed.
She raised the rabbit for many years, and then died because she accidentally ate the mouse medicine. She was sad for a long, long time.
It's true that she likes rabbits, but she only likes what Chen Zexuan gave her.
As for what others gave, even if it was a golden rabbit mask, she couldn't look at it......
"Jade ......" King Xuan didn't know Yushu's thoughts, so when he saw that there was something wrong with her expression, he dared to hold her hand, but before the hand was stretched out, and the words had just spoken, suddenly a hand grabbed his arm hard behind him.
Then, after he turned around, a slap "snapped" into his face.
Growing so big, King Xuan seems to have never been beaten by anyone. So this sudden slap blinded him.
After he reacted, covering his swollen face with one hand and clenching his fist with the other, he gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Jin...... Glass! ”
Gu Jinxiu's eyes were red, and she looked like tears were about to fall.
Gritting her teeth, she looked at the surprised Lord Yushu on the side, and said with a stiff neck: "Give me an explanation." ”
When she was in the carriage just now, all she saw was King Xuan's back.
Even if you are separated by a sea of people, if you really love someone, you will definitely recognize him at a glance in the crowd.
I hadn't seen King Xuan for a few days, and she missed him so much.
That's why he ran to him directly with his skirt regardless of his image.
Weave through the crowd. She didn't dare to blink, for fear that one would accidentally miss him.
I wanted to open my mouth to call his name, but I was afraid of revealing his identity, so she could only squeeze forward one by one.
Finally waited for him to stop, but as she approached, she found that there was another woman beside him.
She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she could see that he was smiling lightly at the woman, and his eyebrows were full of tenderness and sweetness.
A wave of jealousy filled her heart, and she hurried after her, impulsively slapping her the moment he tried to hold hands with the woman.
It's just that he didn't expect that the woman next to him would be the lord of Yushu.
But even if Yushu is not an outsider, then King Xuan has no reason to accompany her shopping, and he has to hold her hand!
King Xuan didn't expect to meet Gu Jinxiu on the street, and he was slapped in front of Yushu, so there were two raging fires in his eyes, and he wanted to burn Gu Jinxiu to death.
"Are you...... Miss Gu Er? At the previous welcome banquet, Yushu seemed to have seen Gu Jinxiu, and saw her looking straight at King Xuan, and King Xuan glared at Gu Jinxiu fiercely, so her eyes unconsciously looked between the two.
If this were another woman, don't say that she had any physical contact with King Xuan, but whenever she was within five steps of King Xuan, Gu Jinxiu would definitely step forward and tear her up.
But the person in front of her is Yushu, the younger sister of Xuan Shizi, and the pearl of the king of Nanyang, so Gu Jinxiu is now the second lady of the Gu family, what capital does she have to dare to argue with Yushu?
Of course, in the eyes of the lover, Yushu does not look down on King Xuan.
Unable to vent her anger on Yushu, Gu Jinxiu could only clench her fists, endure the sourness of her nose, and wait for King Xuan's explanation unrelentingly.
Seeing that Gu Jinxiu ignored herself, Yushu said to King Xuan with a frosty face: "Second Miss Gu seems to have something to say to you, I won't bother you for now." ”
In fact, there was nothing to talk about between Yushu and King Xuan, so Gu Jinxiu's appearance just allowed her to have an excuse to go to Chen Zexuan.
"Hey, county lord!" King Xuan finally had the opportunity to be alone with the beauty, how could he just do it?
Seeing that Yushu was leaving, he hurriedly wanted to chase after him, but was dragged by Gu Jinxiu again, "Stop!" ”
In the past, Gu Jinxiu had a temper, and King Xuan only thought that it was okay for a girl to play a little innocuous little temperament, but now Gu Jinxiu not only did it to him, but also made him so embarrassed in front of Yushu. How could he tolerate it?
"Let it go!" A hint of disgust crossed his eyes, and he was annoyed.
"I won't let go!" Seeing King Xuan's attitude, Gu Jinxiu became even more aggrieved, so he became more angry: "If you don't explain it to me today, you can try!" ”
On the other side, Chen Zexuan and Xiyue just looked at this side, and after seeing King Xuan and Gu Jinxiu pulling and pulling, they turned around and walked back.
"Brother." Yushu came over and saw that Xiyue and Chen Zexuan were shoulder to shoulder, and the smile on her face was a little unnatural.
"What's going on?" Chen Zexuan glanced at Gu Jinxiu, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Miss Gu Er, she slapped King Xuan just now, and I don't know why." Although Yushu guessed what the story was between King Xuan and Gu Jinxiu. But in the end, it's someone's private matter, she's a woman, how can she comment at will?
Xiyue lives with Concubine De, and she doesn't care about things outside the palace at all.
Therefore, she didn't know about Gu Jinxiu's love for King Xuan.
Seeing King Xuan unceremoniously pushing Gu Jinxiu's hand away, Gu Jinxiu wiped her tears and continued to pull, Xiyue also widened her eyes and whispered, "When did the imperial brother meet Miss Gu Er?" ”
Chen Zexuan's eyes darkened, he shook the fan in his hand, hooked his lips and smiled: "It seems." King Xuan has caused a lot of romantic debts! ”
"Xuan Shizi, don't get me wrong!" When Xiyue heard this, she hurriedly defended King Xuan and said: "My imperial brother has always been clean and self-conscious, and he will never have any entanglements with women casually. ”
The reason why she is so eager to prove King Xuan's innocence is that first, King Xuan is her brother, and he is bent on marrying Yushu, so how can King Xuan leave a bad impression in front of Yushu?
Second, if King Xuan's style is not correct, the relationship between men and women is chaotic, and he is King Xuan's sister, will Chen Zexuan think that he is a raccoon dog?
So, for yourself. For the sake of King Xuan, Xiyue must not let Chen Zexuan and Yushu misunderstand.
"Hehe, Princess Xiyue, don't be nervous, this son is joking!" Seeing that Xiyue's expression was a little nervous, Chen Zexuan shook his head with a smile, and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
After that, without waiting for Xiyue to react, he took the lead and strode in the direction of King Xuan and Gu Jinxiu.
Yushu glanced at Xiyue and quickly followed.
"This king repeats, let go!" When King Xuan saw Chen Zexuan coming over with Yushu and Xiyue, his heart jumped, he lowered his voice, and warned in a warning tone: "If you don't let go, don't want to see this king again in this life!" ”
In the balance of feelings, if one person pays more, the other person will pay less.
In the same way, if one person loves more, the other person will love less.
The person who loves more will lose the initiative in comparison, gradually become humble, and become both gains and losses.
And the person who loves less, because he is sure that the other party will not leave, will be more and more fearless. High.
Obviously, Gu Jinxiu is the one who loves so much that he loses his dignity.
Even if she slapped King Xuan just now, it was just a negative move.
She can't bear to see King Xuan for a day, how can she accept that she can't see him for the rest of her life?
"Qi Ze......" hand was broken by King Xuan little by little, and Gu Jinxiu's voice was full of heavy crying.
"Don't ask for trouble!" After King Xuan dropped a cold word, he left Gu Jinxiu with a cold and hard back.
"Xuan Shizi, Lord Yushu, this Second Miss Gu has recognized the wrong person, there is a misunderstanding, hahaha!" After turning around, King Xuan immediately changed his face and looked as if nothing had happened.
"Oh. I see! Chen Zexuan nodded, pretending to suddenly realize: "Since it's okay, then let's go to Baiyulou for lunch!" ”
"Okay, okay, noon today, this king has a treat!" After hearing this, King Xuan caught a glimpse of Gu Jinxiu still standing in place and looking at him stupidly, eager to fly away immediately.
Chen Zexuan smiled and arched his hand: "Then thank King Xuan first." ”
After that, the four of them walked towards the white jade building with a lively chat.
Gu Jinxiu watched King Xuan leave, bursting into tears.
In Taifu's mansion, Taifu Yin looked at Qi Hao coldly and didn't speak. Just drinking tea on your own.
Qi Hao knew that Taifu Yin was angry with him in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "That day in the Criminal Department, it was indeed the king who was wrong, and he shouldn't ......."
"Lord Ning." When Mrs. Yin heard Qi Hao mention the events of that day, his face drooped even more, waved his hand, and directly interrupted him: "The past is over, and the old man doesn't want to mention it again." ”
"Lord Ning came to the door today, I don't know what happened?"
said that the past was in the past, but in fact, Mrs. Yin's heart couldn't get over.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly let Qi Hao have something to say, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do.
Qi Hao pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then the king will get straight to the point." ”
"Regardless of whether Taifu believes it or not, in short, the person who hurt Yin Ergongzi is indeed someone else."
Selfishly, it doesn't matter whether it was Gu Jinli's poisonous hand to Yin Penglin.
The important thing is that Gu Jinli was at the scene at the time, and the charge of attempted murder, Mrs. Yin must put it on her head.
Therefore, Mrs. Yin sent someone to protect the servant.
However...... Not only did the cheap slaves recruit all, but they also signed and drew the pledge, how could Mrs. Yin feel comfortable?
first took a kick from Qi Hao. Coupled with the matter of the servant, in short, Mrs. Yin's dissatisfaction with Qi Hao is getting bigger and bigger: "Hmph, even the subordinate of my Taifu's mansion, Lord Ning, can be bought, what else in this world can't be reversed black and white?" ”
Qi Hao wanted to have a good talk with Mrs. Yin in a calm mind, seeing his attitude, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "The craftsmanship of the dagger is from the hands of Nanyang craftsmen, and now the merchants in the capital come and go, it is indeed not easy to find the owner of the dagger." ”
"However, it is impossible for the person behind it to assassinate Yin Er Gongzi for no reason. Therefore, this person either has a grudge against Yin Ergongzi, or he wants to achieve some ulterior motives by assassinating Yin Ergongzi. ”
"Nanyang?" When Mrs. Yin heard that this matter involved Nanyang, she felt that this was simply a fantasy, and a touch of ridicule flashed in her old eyes, as if she was satirizing Qi Hao and making up nonsense.
Taking the look in Taifu Yin's eyes into his eyes, Qi Hao said quietly: "Don't hide it from Taifu, this king has sent someone to carefully investigate, and the owner of the dagger is Xuan Shizi." ”
"What? Xuan Shizi? After hearing this, Mrs. Yin suddenly stood up from the chair and said angrily: "In order to exonerate Gu Jinxiu, you did not hesitate to pull Xuan Shizi into the water?" ”
"You...... You are really fascinated by Gu Jinxiu! ”
In Mrs. Yin's heart. Or in other words, in the hearts of most people, Chen Zexuan is a person with both intelligence and high moral character, how could he do such a sinister and cunning thing?
You must know that seven years ago, if it weren't for Chen Zexuan, the current Qi Kingdom must have changed its dynasty!
Qi Hao's words were definitely deliberately smearing Chen Zexuan because he was protecting Gu Jinxiu!
"Taifu, even if this king wants to exonerate Gu Jinxiu, why don't you find someone to blame at random, but choose Xuan Shizi?" Qi Hao pulled his lips and continued: "Uncle Nanyang Wang is old, and Xuan Shizi represents the whole of Nanyang, does Taifu think that it is necessary for this king to go against Nanyang because of a Gu Jinxiu?" ”
Having said that, in fact, he did move eastward for Gu Jinli's sake, and targeted Taifu Yin and the old emperor on Chen Zexuan.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yin looked at Qi Hao's eyes with suspicion.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Qi Hao said seemed to have a little bit of truth.
Sitting down again, clearing his throat, Mrs. Yin said in a muffled voice: "You just said that Xuan Shizi assassinated Lin Er for an ulterior motive?" ”
Qi Hao nodded and said in a low voice: "Over the years, under the management of Uncle Wang of Nanyang, the people of Nanyang have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a prosperous life, which is a good thing, but no one can guarantee that Nanyang has no ambition to rebel and become the emperor." ”
As soon as he heard the words "conspiring against the emperor and becoming the emperor", Mrs. Yin suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said tentatively: "You mean...... King of Nanyang? ”
Qi Hao shook his head and said slowly: "This king sent someone to Nanyang to check, and Uncle Nanyang Wang is considered to be safe and self-contained, and he has not had any abnormal behavior. ”
"But...... After Xuan Shizi entered Beijing this time, he was very restless. ”
"A few days ago, the soldiers of the Dongshan military camp were poisoned, and Xuan Shizi sent someone to do it."
"And this time about the second son of Yin, this king guesses that Xuan Shizi wants to use Gu Jinxiu's hand to provoke the relationship between this king and Yin Taifu."
After a pause, he saw that Mrs. Yin was listening carefully, and raised his voice a little more, explaining: "The reason why this king saved Gu Jinxiu was not because he was confused by women, but because he didn't want to let Xuan Shizi succeed. ”
"Mrs. Yin, if Xuan Shizi succeeds in framing Gu Jinxiu this time, then the grievances between the Yin family and the Gu family will deepen."
"Taifu Yin is the most trusted and relied on person by this king, in the same way, Gu Xiang is also the backing of King Xuan, once you both lose, this will be a great loss for this king and King Xuan."
After Mrs. Yin calmed down, his head finally opened up.
His body was agitated, and he restrained the shock in his heart, "Xuan Shizi...... He wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman?! ”
Qi Hao nodded heavily, "Yes." ”
Mrs. Yin's eyes darkened, and he said after a while: "If this is the case, then Xuan Shizi's scheming is really terrifying!" ”
Picked up the tea book and calmed down his mood. He raised his eyes to look at Qi Hao again, "Are you really not here for Gu Jinxiu?" ”
Qi Hao's hand hidden in his sleeve robe clenched into a fist slightly, and he said against his will: "No." ”
Mrs. Yin looked at Qi Hao for a while, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and his face looked slightly better than just now.
Coughing lightly, he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then let Lin Sheng cure Lin Er as soon as possible." ”
It sounds like half the story, but the implication is obvious.
Let Qi Hao send Lin Sheng over, once Yin Penglin wakes up, then this matter will not be pursued for the time being.
It's just that Lin Sheng can't come and go as soon as he calls, and he can't be moved by anyone who can command him casually.
Besides, Qi Hao privately hoped that Yin Penglin would continue to lie down, otherwise when he, a scourge who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, woke up, I am afraid that he would find an opportunity to find trouble with Gu Jinli again in the future!
I don't know when, once Gu Jinli gets into trouble, then she will definitely suffer from it!
Therefore, in order to avoid being involved in trouble, it is better not to let Yin Penglin wake up.
Qi Hao did not directly respond to Mrs. Yin's request, but changed the topic and said, "By the way, Wanwan's leg is good." ”
"What?" If it was said that Chen Zexuan's intention to rebel just now frightened Mrs. Yin, then this incident made him ecstatic.
looked at Qi Hao in disbelief, and the excitement in his voice couldn't be stopped: "Wanwan can really go?" ”
Qi Hao nodded, "Lin Sheng's credit." ”
"Great. That's great! Mrs. Yin had tears in her eyes, and she really cried with joy.
"Master, master!" Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and Mrs. Yin walked in with an anxious face.
Behind her, followed by Yin Suxi, who was wearing a blue dress.
Probably didn't expect Qi Hao to be there, the eldest lady was stunned at first, and then hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Lord Ning." ”
Yin Suxi's eyes lit up, and then her ears were slightly red and she bowed her head, and her voice was sweet: "Xi'er has seen her brother-in-law." ”
After Qi Hao motioned for the two of them to be exempted, Mrs. Yin asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Mrs. Yin glanced at Qi Hao, and then stepped forward. said to Mrs. Yin: "Master, what mistake did Ke'er make, and you want to punish him for grounding?" ”
Yesterday, after Guo Mingshun left, Mrs. Yin left Yin Zike in the study for a night.
No one knew what the two of them were talking about in the study, but when someone passed by the door of the study, they occasionally heard a faint argument coming from inside.
Early this morning, Mrs. Yin gave an order without warning, saying that Yin Zike had made a mistake and punished him with a month's grounding.
Moreover, Mrs. Yin also sent a family member to guard outside Yin Zike's courtyard, and no one could enter at will, not even the eldest lady, which couldn't help but frighten the eldest lady.
Yin Suxi was also puzzled, so the mother and daughter hurried over.
In front of Qi Hao, how could Mrs. Yin say that he and Guo Mingshun conspired to assassinate Gu Chengen?
Even if Qi Hao was not there, he didn't want to reveal the matter to Mrs. Yin and Yin Suxi.
After all, he has always been upright and loyal in the eyes of his family and colleagues, and if he told them such insidious calculations, wouldn't it damage his image?
Waving his hand, Mrs. Yin looked unhappy and said, "I know this matter in my heart, don't worry about it." ”
"Sir!" Seeing that Mrs. Yin didn't even mean to explain, Mrs. Yin couldn't help but be more anxious: "Good people will be locked up for a month, and they will be stuffy!" ”
Yin Zike accidentally overheard the conversation between Guo Mingshun and Mrs. Yin, but because Mrs. Yin was a thief, he thought that Yin Zike was deliberately eavesdropping.
In addition, Yin Zike strongly opposed Mrs. Yin's plan, so Mrs. Yin suddenly felt that she had lost face in front of her son, so she was angry and punished him for thinking about it for a month on the grounds that Yin Zike was disrespectful to his father.
"It's boring, it's just enough for him to reflect deeply!" After snorting coldly, Mrs. Yin said again: "By the way, Wan'er's leg has recovered, if you are okay today, you can take Xi'er to King Ning's Mansion to see her." ”
"Master, Zike, he ......" Mrs. Yin was so focused on Yin Zike that she didn't notice what Mrs. Yin was talking about.
However, Yin Suxi noticed.
As a result, her face changed. The eyes are full of incredible.
How so? Why did Yoon So-wan's leg suddenly get better?
Clenching his fists, Yin Suxi's face was a little distorted.
Qi Hao inadvertently captured Yin Suxi's extremely forbearant and indescribable complex look, and his eyes were faint.
It is understandable that the eldest lady can't take care of Yin Suwan because of Yin Zike at this time, but it stands to reason that Yin Suxi and Yin Suwan have a very good relationship, so why didn't they see the excitement and excitement on Yin Suxi's face?
Could it be ...... She didn't want Yin Suwan to get better at all?
It's not that Qi Hao spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and deliberately thinks how bad Yin Suxi is, but when Yin Suxi went to Ning Wangfu before, he always said something from time to time that made Yin Suwan misunderstand, anyway, Qi Hao felt that this little sister-in-law was not as simple as it seemed.
Seeing that the eldest lady still wanted to chatter endlessly, Mrs. Yin glared at her, "I still have something to say with King Ning." You go out first. ”
Although the eldest lady is very unwilling, she also understands Mrs. Yin, looking at him usually gentle and elegant, if his temper comes up, no one can suppress it!
Lowering her eyes, the eldest lady said in a sullen voice: "Yes." ”
After saying that, he glanced at Yin Suxi, who didn't know what he was thinking.
Yin Suxi came back to her senses and followed the eldest lady out of the room with a calm face.
