Chapter 22: The Jade Fragments
She didn't have time to think about it, and as soon as she raised her footsteps, she chased straight after her.
It's just that she has old wounds on her body that are not as stable as before, and she can't use light work, and she is about to catch up, but the thief looks back at her and throws the brocade bag far away.
With a "plop", the beautifully made brocade bag fell into the river.
Song Yi's usually calm face changed color in an instant, and his eyes were wide open with faint anger, but the thief had disappeared into the sea of people.
She spun on her tiptoes and jumped off without thinking.
"Song Yi!" Mu Xiuhan didn't expect her to jump into the icy river for a brocade bag, a pair of sword eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and the hands in her sleeves moved uncontrollably.
The river is not deep, but this black light has to be found for a while, Song Yi groped in the river for a long time, his robe was wet for most of the time, his hair was also stained with water, and he was wet and embarrassed.
I couldn't stand it, Mu Xiu shouted coldly, "Song Yi, you come up for me!" What's so great about a trick, you come up and I'll give you a hundred thousand! ”
But the people in the river seemed to be deaf and only groped at the bottom of the river, and turned a deaf ear to his words.
Mu Xiuhan's thin lips were pursed, his face was pale, he was not good at having a seizure outside the palace, this person dared to disobey his orders!
And the people in the river were already cold, and just when her fingers were numb and almost unconscious, she finally touched the soft bag, and she stood up with the bag on her face.
Song Yi rarely laughs on weekdays, this time it is really rare, Mu Xiuhan has a full view of her appearance, even if she is soaked all over at the moment, a few strands of wet hair are attached to her face, but her facial features are delicate, the bridge of her nose is straight, her lips are red and her teeth are white when she laughs, and her appearance is very different from the cold and frosty appearance on weekdays, but at this moment she looks like a woman, which is particularly good-looking.
Song Yi slowly went ashore with a brocade bag in his hand, and when he arrived at Mu Xiuhan's side, he leaned over and gathered the blistered robe, and the sound of the water pulled Mu Xiuhan's thoughts back.
"You're so daring!" He watched her move swiftly and twist her clothes, and said coldly, "Song Yi, the general doesn't have enough money on weekdays, isn't it?" You just jumped into the river to get some money?! ”
Pretending to be poor in front of the king of a country?
Song Yi didn't respond, she didn't argue, she straightened up after wringing out the water, and hung the brocade bag around her waist again.
Mu Xiuhan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly pulled out the brocade bag in her hand, untied the bag before Song Yi could stop it, and poured it into the palm of her hand, her body was stunned.
It's not broken silver, it's a piece of emerald jade, but it's only half, and it looks a little familiar.
"Which girl gave it?" He asked coldly, seeing that she didn't answer, he put the jade pendant back into the brocade bag with a straight face, and gave it to Song Yi, he took a step forward, lowered his voice and said in her ear, "I tell you, no matter which girl it is, Yunluo has to be in the main room!" ”
Before Song Yi could speak, the man ignored her and walked to the carriage at the end of the bridge alone.
He didn't even remember this jade pendant at all.
The corners of Song Yi's mouth moved slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his lips.
This is before going to Mobei he rewarded her, he once said "jade broken tiles", and asked her to be a tile for the ember country to shelter from the wind and rain, so he gave her a piece of broken jade, meaning that she can return to the dynasty safely.
It turned out that he had forgotten all this, and he must have just said it casually at the beginning.
Ninety-five, how can you remember every sentence clearly? The only people he can remember are people who are extremely important to him, such as Yun Luo, such as Xu Lian'er, but it will not be her Song Yi.
The man had already gotten into the carriage, Song Yi looked at his back, and tied the brocade bag around his waist again.
As soon as she reached the carriage, a bright fireworks rose in the night sky.
One after another, as bright as a galaxy. The fireworks kept going off, like a colorful rain.
Song Yi looked around, it turned out that the stone bridge had already been hung with red lanterns, one after another, from the bridge to the opposite alley, this kind of liveliness of thousands of lights can not be experienced in Mobei.
Song Yi was in a trance, the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted in a corner, the dark light between Mu Xiuhan's phoenix eyes flowed, and a cyan robe was reflected light red by the fireworks, he held a pot of wine in his left hand, turned his head to her and said impatiently, "You don't know that it's cold at night, and you have to stand in the wind in wet clothes, you're afraid that you won't be able to fall into the cold, right?" ”
Song Yi got into the car in a daze, sat on the side and took the wine jug he gave, she looked at the words engraved on the wine jug, it turned out to be something from Huayuan, and she didn't know when he took it.
Looking up at the person sitting on the throne opposite, he still had a cold and impatient expression on his face, but his eyes were calm at the moment, there was no usual calculation, and there was even a trace of mist in his brown eyes.
Song Yi opened the lid of the pot and poured the pot of wine, which was much warmer.
In the midst of the flow of light, the carriage had moved away from the noisy stone bridge, and the road back to the palace was silent but dark.
Song Yi was overwhelmed by alcohol, only drank a pot, and felt dizzy, the car moved forward slowly, the wheels rolled over the bluestone slab, the carriage was quiet, Song Yi only smelled the elegant ambergris between the sleeves of the people around her, her eyes were blurred, and she only felt drowsy.
It was dark in the carriage, and Mu Xiuhan never expected that Song Yi's body would be weak and he would be pillowed on his lap.
The March wind was chilling, and the corner of the carriage curtain was blown open, and by a ray of moonlight, he looked at the sleeping sweet.
Song Yi's eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is like jade, her eyelashes are as long as a fan, and her long hair like ink is scattered behind her......
The pale pink peach petals that floated from nowhere fell on her lips, making the red lips even more attractive, and Mu Xiuhan's ghost made it seem that he was close to Song Yi.
While thinking about it, the carriage gradually stopped, and the people outside said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the General's Palace." ”
Mu Xiuhan suddenly woke up like a dream, what's wrong with him?
He lifted the curtain and looked out, the gate of the General's Mansion was closed, it was already late at night, and he went to knock on the door again to let people know that Song Yi and the emperor were going on a tour to arouse suspicion, and after thinking about it, Mu Xiu said coldly, "Go back to the palace." ”
The carriage moved forward again, and along the way, Mu Xiuhan didn't want to look at Song Yi anymore, his eyes were distracted, and he only felt that what he had just done was ridiculous.
The next day, Song Yi woke up on the dragon collapse of the Lama Temple, her slightly squinted eyes opened, staring straight at the screen of the carved beams and paintings.
kept recalling in her mind, she drank a pot of wine last night, and then got drunk, could it be that Mu Xiuhan brought her back to the palace?
She quickly sat up, but luckily she was fully dressed.
Song Yi had never entered Mu Xiuhan's bedroom, she just thought that this was a side hall, and when she walked out of the palace gate neatly, she was surprised to realize that this was Mu Xiuhan's bedroom.
"General Song." The great eunuch Li Quan saw her come out and said, "The emperor has gone to the morning court, and said that you can just leave the palace when you wake up." ”
Compared to last night's drunkenness, Song Yi felt even more dizzy at the moment, and she hurriedly left the palace before the end of the morning dynasty.
It's just that the emperor's late night return to the palace last night has long been known to Xu Lian'er.
The elegant and dignified woman sat in front of the desk, a jade hand holding a brush and drawing on rice paper, the thrush bird on the painting was vivid, and the palace maid next to her was standing respectfully.
"There was nothing unusual last night, the emperor didn't summon any concubines to serve, but he brought the Song general back for the night, presumably the monarch and ministers had important matters to discuss, so they forgot the time." The old palace maid said.
The smooth brush blade turned in vain, and a vivid painting was ruined.
"It's a pity." The palace maid who was waiting beside Xu Lian'er said regretfully, "I'm still waiting for Niangniang's painting to be rewarded to the slave......
The woman didn't care, put the pen on the pen holder casually, shook her sore hand and walked to the table, "Go and get the silver reward for Mama Wang." ”
She turned her back to the old man who nodded and bowed, and picked up a lychee and put it away.
She had already heard about the emperor's day and Song Yi's flower thanksgiving, and the emperor, who never gave in, finally relented, and took Song Yi into the palace for the night last night......
Although the three of them grew up together since childhood, but now that the monarchs and ministers are different, Mu Xiuhan is full of suspicion of Song Yi, when did these two become so close?
Outsiders can't see through it, but Xu Lian'er is keenly aware of the abnormality.
She has suspected that Song Yi is a woman disguised as a man since she was a child, but there has been no tangible evidence, and now she has to be suspicious.
It didn't take long for the eyeliner to report, saying that when the emperor was in the early dynasty, he said that Yan Song, the secretary of the ministry, bought and sold official positions, and was furious, and ordered to completely investigate Yan Song's corruption and bribery case, and all Yan Song's party members were severely punished.
But this Yan Song is just a pawn who does things for the Xu family, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is Xu Lian'er's father, now that such an investigation will soon find out her head, what should I do then?
Xu Lian'er exerted force in her hands, her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and her eyes were full of sadness.
