054 Feel at ease
He Zhizhou was infinitely beautiful in the previous dynasty, but Mingyue was surrounded by a group of embarrassed women in the dilapidated regent mansion and her crying scalp was numb.
Some of these women who mourned and cried were frightened by last night's battle, some of them were unfortunately because her family was all in trouble and she narrowly escaped death, and some of them probably simply came to see the excitement and saw others crying, but they didn't cry but seemed unsociable.
Although Mingyue didn't know how many women there were in He Zhizhou's backyard, she also knew that there were seven people who were unfortunately killed last night. No matter how arrogant these women are, they are just arrogant in the backyard of the inner house. Where did it go through such a thrilling thing last night, it was Mingyue, if it weren't for He Zhizhou who had been by her side, she didn't see too many corpses and blood, but those terrible and desperate shouts and the figure of panic running in the fire still made her tremble all night.
It wasn't until this morning that she heard that not only the regent family in Shangjing City had been attacked by assassins, but also that many ministers of the court and the central government had suffered at the same time, and that was the real purpose of He Zhizhou's pretending to be dead.
This trick will be calculated and borrowed to kill, and the use of it is skillful and perfect. Who would have thought that He Zhizhou would take advantage of the crisis of the palace and take the opportunity to eliminate all the dissidents forcefully and sparingly? After that, he can still push it on the poor Prime Minister Zong as if nothing happened. Prime Minister Zong is a person who is a little emperor, and He Zhizhou's move is undoubtedly to trample on the little emperor's face.
Although everyone in the world knows in their hearts that Zong Zhengming did do the assassination of the regent, but who doesn't know that no matter how capable Zong Zhengming is, he is just relying on the silver armor guard of the little emperor, how many people can he have, and dare to assassinate the regent while also dividing people to assassinate the ministers of the court?
What's more, who doesn't know that those families who were wiped out were either the political enemies of the regent, or they betrayed the regent and defected to the little emperor, Zong Zhengming couldn't do such a thing as killing his own people even if he was crazy! Especially Zong Zhengming was killed last night, and there is really no suspense at all.
But who would dare to question it? Even the little emperor didn't dare, because the silver armor guard who died in the palace was the little emperor's person, if it wasn't Zong Zhengming who wanted to assassinate the regent, then the little emperor was going to assassinate the regent, anyway, there were only two of him who had the silver armor guard to protect him, either Zong Zhengming or the little emperor. In such a situation, the little emperor dares to question? Not to mention defending Zong Zhengming, I'm afraid that I can't push everything onto Zong Zhengming's poor scapegoat!
Mingyue also figured it out before she knew how deep He Zhizhou's city government was and how ruthless his methods were. And he is really extremely indulgent to her, right?
She smiled bitterly, and was jerked at the hem of her skirt by Yin, who was kneeling at her feet, before she came back to her senses.
Yin's clothes were disheveled, her face was pale, her tears were flowing with snot, and she no longer had the beauty and arrogance of the past, she cried grief-stricken, knelt in front of Mingyue in embarrassment, and cried over and over again: "Lord Wang...... I want to see the prince! Princess, I beg you to let me meet the prince! My poor parents...... My younger brother, who is not yet five years old...... All slaughtered! Oh my God, what's the point of me living? They are all dead, all dead...... Princess, have mercy on me, and let me meet the prince......"
Mingyue looked down at Yin, and her eyes couldn't help but show pity. Yin is the one who unfortunately suffered the whole family and she escaped.
is a big family, and in a blink of an eye, she is the only one left.
In fact, it is not as good as the seven women who died with their parents' families, at least they don't have to face the situation where the whole family dies and she lives alone like the Yin family.
I don't know if Yin knows in his heart, whose hands did the lives of her parents and family fall? She kept asking to see He Zhizhou, could it be that she still counted on He Zhizhou to help her avenge the annihilation?
Mingyue couldn't help but shake her head, look, how ruthless is that man's heart? Yin still has the label of his woman on his face, if he has a little concern for her, Yin and women who are in a similar situation to Yin will not fall into this fate.
But then again, if their families didn't betray or didn't have the intention of betraying, how could He Zhizhou kill them? When they sent their daughter to the mansion, when they chose to betray He Zhizhou, they never thought that if He Zhizhou was really defeated or died, what would happen to their daughter?
They chose a dead end, and in the end, it was the poor daughter who was sent out by them to sacrifice.
Mingyue didn't know how He Zhizhou would send down the Yin family, even if she wouldn't take her life, she would definitely not let her stay in the mansion again.
What should such a homeless, rootless, fatherless and motherless woman do in the future?
She sighed, politics and governance have always been so cruel, some people lose the bet and they are broken, and some people win the bet to be prosperous and prosperous.
Who can blame such a thing? Hezhizhou? Someone wants to kill him, someone betrays him, is it possible that he should wait for someone to kill him, and he doesn't care about being betrayed? He just came with a quick and ruthless counterattack, which successfully deterred the little emperor and those with ill intentions. If he doesn't fight back, he will be the one who dies, and who wants to be killed?
Mingyue found that she had unconsciously excused He Zhizhou, her heart was terrified, she hurriedly came back to her senses, rubbed her forehead with a faint pain, and wanted to comfort Yin's two words, but at this time, Yin's listened to it, so she slowed down her tone and said: "Your business, I will tell him when the prince comes back." Okay, don't cry, let the prince come back and see you like this, I'm afraid I won't like it in my heart. ”
Yin Shi looked stunned, she didn't listen to what Mingyue said to her, and she still kept holding Mingyue's skirt and crying bitterly.
Mingyue looked down at her skirt that was wet with tears and snot, and in the end she still couldn't let someone drag Yin out, her eyes swept through the crowd a few times, and she saw Lin Baozhu, who had been silently wiping tears outside the circle.
If He Zhizhou hadn't specifically mentioned it, Mingyue wouldn't have known that Lin Baozhu was such a smart and understanding person, this time, the women's mothers in the backyard had more or less losses, and only Lin Baozhu and the Lin family survived this catastrophe safely.
Even so, she didn't show joy and happiness in public, her face was full of frightened fear, and she came to Mingyue with everyone, and accompanied everyone silently shed tears.
Such a low-key and unconventional appearance will naturally not make people feel anything unusual.
This is indeed a wise woman.
Mingyue thought and beckoned to her, "The Lin family, you and the Yin family have always been on good terms, but her family has suffered such a great change, I'm afraid that she will be sad and a little stunned." You send her back to the house and comfort her. People can't be resurrected after death, and all this, naturally the prince is in charge of her, let her cheer up first. ”
She also knew that these words were too light, anyone who encountered such a tragic thing would collapse and go crazy, and the Yin family was like this now, and it was light to think about it.
Lin Baozhu didn't expect Mingyue to call her out by name, and she couldn't keep a low profile at this time, so she had to bow her head and respond, "Yes, the princess is merciful, and Sister Yin is also pitiful, and I hope that the princess and the prince can pity her more." ”
While talking, he stepped forward and coaxed the Yin family softly: "Sister Yin, let's go back to the house and freshen up first, okay?" The princess has already answered you, and when the prince comes back, she will ask the prince to come over to see you, it's not good for the prince to see you like this, right? Okay, let's stop crying, let's go back to the house first. ”
I don't know if the Yin family trusts Lin Baozhu a lot on weekdays or what, anyway, as soon as Lin Baozhu came out, he really persuaded her to leave.
Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that Wang Manyu and Gong Yuer, who had been grounded by He Zhizhou before, were also present, although both of them looked frightened, but relatively calm, Mingyue knew that her family did not suffer too much misfortune, and she thought that she was frightened by last night's incident. Thinking that the father and brother of the two of them are very firm regent members, Mingyue couldn't help but wonder, did He Zhizhou expect that there would be last night's incident, so he locked the two of them in the name of grounding, but in fact, to protect their safety?
This thought only swirled in her mind for a moment before she put it away, what did He Zhizhou think, what did it matter to her?
Now the important thing is to quickly unload this burden from your body and fall asleep. Such a terrible thing happened last night, she stayed up until dawn with her eyes open, although He Zhizhou persuaded her to close her eyes and rest, and he was even willing to provide his shoulders as pillows, but Mingyue was not made of iron and stone, and it was strange that she could sleep peacefully in the face of the sky-high fire and the vicious assassins!
Finally, the corpse in the backyard was lifted, and it also made people wash the ground full of blood donations a little, but the smell of blood was not so strong, Mingyue was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, and the women of He Zhizhou cried.
Finally got rid of a Yin family, Mingyue really didn't have the energy to deal with them anymore, after thinking about it, she said to Wang Manyu: "Since the prince has lifted your grounding, the big and small affairs in this mansion are still left to you to take care of, after all, you are used to managing this palace, but today's things are so busy, you can't manage it alone, let the Gong family help you." The prince said, there are Hemo and them outside, we just need to take care of the back yard and not make a mess. ”
In this way, he handed over the burden to Wang Manyu and Gong Yuer without discussion.
Not only were the two who were originally silent startled, but the other women present were also stunned.
Wang Manyu has always won the favor of the regent, she was grounded, everyone was very gloating, although Gong Yuer is not as favored as Wang Manyu, compared to others, it is also very good, for a while both of them were locked up, naturally said that they have everything. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, Wang Manyu and Gong Yuer were not only released, but their fathers, brothers and relatives also lived safely, not to mention, Princess Xia Guo, who finally got the right to take charge, returned the right to manage so easily, isn't this a blessing in disguise?
Without waiting for Wang Manyu and Gong Yu'er to refuse, and without looking at everyone's different faces, Mingyue had already gotten up and walked out without saying anything.
……
Huang Hongfei was drawing a boring circle under a paulownia tree, and when he saw Mingyue coming out, he hurriedly flew over, "Xiao Zhou, you can figure it out, if you don't come out, I'll be bored to death." ”
"What are you doing there?" Mingyue asked him casually.
"Watch the ants move." Huang Hongfei also replied casually, and then couldn't wait to say to Mingyue, "I went out of the house just now, and I heard that several families were wiped out by killers last night, so I ran to take a look." Tsk-"
Mingyue's heart jumped, and she pretended to ask casually, "What?" ”
"I didn't see anything, I guess the fire was too big, and those houses were burned to ruins, not to mention people, even the gold and silver were melted by the fire." Huang Hongfei shook his head and sighed: "It's so pitiful." ”
Last night, Huang Hongfei has been fighting on the front line, especially when the silver armor guard attacked, because of Huang Hongfei's containment, he was able to take down the legendary silver armor guard with every kung fu so quickly and quickly, and cut them all under the knife, which can be said to have made a great contribution.
It is because the guards of the Regent's Mansion have remembered his favors, turned a blind eye to his entry and exit, and no longer treated him as a thief as before.
Mingyue didn't answer, only pressed the corner of her forehead, and it is estimated that this stunned young man still doesn't know that those are He Zhizhou's handiwork.
Sure enough, Huang Hongfei quickly frowned suspiciously, "Xiao Zhou, do you think that Zong Zhengming is stupid?" Knowing that the Regent's Mansion is not so easy to deal with, even if he receives the news of the Regent's violent death, he should wholeheartedly destroy the Regent's Mansion first, how can he still have the leisure to deal with other political enemies? I'm afraid my head is caught in the door. ”
Mingyue didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Xu is too confident, knowing that the regent is dead, he thought that he would be able to take the regent's mansion, so he divided people to kill other political enemies." ”
After finishing speaking, she bit her lower lip in annoyance, she didn't even think about covering up for He Zhizhou...... Tsk, it must have been a night of not sleeping and being frightened and frightened, which made her head dull!
It must be so, yes.
Huang Hongfei felt that it was reasonable, he had always believed in Mingyue's words, felt that Mingyue was very smart, and often told him the truth of being a man, which benefited him a lot, so even if he knew that He Zhizhou didn't like him to circle around Mingyue, he just didn't know, and pestered Mingyue to talk whenever he was free.
"Xiao Zhou, where are you going now?" Huang Hongfei quickly put these things behind him, and these things had nothing to do with him anyway.
"Find a place to sleep." Mingyue was very sleepy, and asked Huang Hongfei while yawning, "Did you find Xiaotan?" ”
"Found it." Huang Hongfei's round face was radiant, which formed a strong contrast with Mingyue's pale and haggard, "That little girl slept under her bed, she didn't wake up in such a big battle last night." However, her sleeping hole was not ordered by me, I saw that the person who pointed the acupoint was very peculiar, and I didn't dare to rashly solve her acupoint, she was an ordinary weak woman, and she couldn't help tossing. When the regent returns, you ask him, he didn't order it, it was his people's hand. ”
It's the same night that I haven't slept at night, looking at others, and then looking at myself, Mingyue can't help but want to despise her uselessness. But he is a person who practices martial arts, and he should be better than her.
Mingyue listened to Huang Hongfei's words while thinking wildly, and nodded reassuringly, "I'm relieved that she's okay." ”
Huang Hongfei hugged his stomach with a bitter face and cried out, "Xiaotan is fine, but I'm about to starve to death." Xiao Zhou, I'm so hungry! ”
As he spoke, he looked at Mingyue with pitiful eyes.
Mingyue looked back at him helplessly: "I don't know how to cook." You go to the kitchen and see if there's anything you can eat, so let's eat something. ”
The whole palace was in disarray, and the heavy piece of land in the kitchen was not spared. Those assassins last night were here to destroy the government, no matter who they were, they killed them when they saw them. Although there were not many assassins in the backyard, the maid who couldn't stand the house was frightened and ran away, but lost her life by mistake. Mingyue heard a report just now that three of the kitchen ladies died, and the rest were all scared and sick.
In this case, where is there any exquisite food to eat in the kitchen, so Mingyue asked Huang Hongfei to put some on it.
"I just went to see it." Huang Hongfei pouted and said: "Things are spilled all over the ground, chickens, ducks and fish are all raw, running all over the ground, but there are hot freshly born eggs, but they are also raw, I dare not eat them." Xiao Zhou, will you accompany me to eat out? ”
"Didn't you just go out, why didn't you eat something and come back?" Mingyue expressed helplessness about his coquettishness, but he had such a cute round baby face, which made Mingyue feel a little ruthless when he refused him directly.
"I was just surprised, where can I care about eating?" Huang Hongfei said vigorously, while trying his best to explain the moon, "Okay, you haven't eaten for so long, go out to eat something and come back to sleep." And there are so many people dead in this house, the smell of blood is too strong, and when they clean up, you can sleep comfortably, right? ”
"Sounds ...... Kind of makes sense. Mingyue couldn't be entangled by him, but, "Can you take me out?" ”
Huang Hongfei laughed twice, took out the hand that had been behind his back, and smiled at Mingyue with squeezing his eyebrows, "Look, I'm ready for you." ”
……
Huang Hongfei took Mingyue, who was dressed in small clothes, and swaggered out of the palace from the corner gate.
Until walking on the street in the sun, Mingyue still couldn't come back to her senses, "Let's come out now?" ”
She opened her big round eyes and looked at Huang Hongfei in disbelief, looking very stupid, judging from the two of them who pretended to be calm and steady on weekdays.
It was rare to see her look so stupid, Huang Hongfei laughed twice, and then said proudly: "It's not." ”
As he spoke, he showed off to Mingyue, "Didn't I make a meritorious contribution last night?" The people in the house have a much better attitude towards me, and they no longer look at me openly and secretly. I thought, these people are so busy like that today, if you are dressed up as a little girl, I don't think anyone will notice you. Sure enough, hehe, am I smart? ”
"Yes, you're the smartest." Mingyue praised him without hesitation, and gave him a thumbs up with a big smile and a smile. The Regent's Mansion had just experienced a catastrophe, and the air in the palace had a dull smell of blood, and the gloomy and cramped air that shrouded the palace in mid-air seemed to have lost its strength and could not dispel the gloom and gloom.
As soon as I came out, I felt that the whole person seemed to be relaxed, the sun was pouring on the sky, warm and golden. Mingyue only felt that the cold heart in her chest seemed to be very comfortable baked by the sun, like cotton wool that had been basked with enough sun, soft and warm.
The suffocating feeling of the Regent's Mansion was also dispelled by the warm sun and the breeze.
She squinted and stretched comfortably, her flower-like lips unconsciously curled.
Such a pleasant, contented look.
Smiling slightly, it seems that everything around him no longer exists, only the bustling in the ears, the wide number of people in front of him, the soft fragrance, and the bustling daylight.
Huang Hongfei looked at her in a daze.
The originally pale girl's cheeks seemed to be suddenly swept with a faint rouge, and her delicate silhouette melted into the sun. Inlaid on that white porcelain face is a pair of bright and transparent eyes. The sun shone into her pupils, as if there were two bright lights shining in her eyes.
She stood in the sunlight and suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then he opened his eyes suddenly, pulled the stunned Huang Hongfei and rushed forward without looking back, laughing happily as he ran.
Even if he has to be kept in captivity in that depressing mansion in the future, having such a free day is very precious to Mingyue.
They crawled through the crowd like naughty children, and they would cause some yelling if they didn't bumble into someone. But no one cared, she ran faster and faster, as if as she ran, even her body became lighter.
Like a happy little fish, she is at ease, a harmonious existence between heaven and earth, and she has integrated into it.
"Xiaofei, run faster, there is a candy seller in front." Mingyue turned around and winked at Huang Hongfei, the smile blended into the sun, bright and moving.
Huang Hongfei still doesn't seem to have come back to his senses, what does that feel like?
The ice and snow melt, the spring is warm in an instant, and the flowers bloom for a while.
Something that seems to be abnormal, but it makes people's hearts soft.
It turns out that Xiao Zhou is not only very good at telling the truth of life, but it turns out that Xiao Zhou will also laugh like a child.
It turned out that Xiao Zhou laughed, it looks so good.
Huang Hongfei thought dizzily.
……
Mingyue and Huang Hongfei ran like two little madmen, but they also bought a lot of things. Mingyue is responsible for buying, and Huang Hongfei is responsible for paying and carrying the bag, which makes Mingyue's desire to buy more and more vigorous.
Huang Hongfei followed behind her and complained pitifully: "Grandma, you have bought so much, can we eat something and then buy again?" ”
He looked at the big bag hanging around his neck and carrying it in his hands with a sad face, and saw that Mingyue, who was excited, was about to crash into a pastry shop again, Huang Hongfei finally couldn't help but cry bitterly, "Look, everyone is looking at us, I don't know and think that we are hillbillies from the mountains, look at you, even other people's broken stools have to be bought." What is there in the palace, what are you buying these for? ”
Huang Hongfei felt that he was very pitiful to be trapped in Shan Jianfeng all the year round, and finally went down the mountain and saw that the things outside were naturally very novel, but after the novelty, it was like that. Unexpectedly, this Xiao Zhou is even worse than when he first came down the mountain, and he has to look at everything he sees, touch it, buy it, and buy it, as if he has never been out before.
How can I feel more pitiful than him?
For her sake, which is more pitiful than herself, Huang Hongfei sighed helplessly, and continued to follow with a large bag full of hanging.
Finally, Mingyue had enough shopping and bought enough, and finally found a place to sit down and eat with great compassion.
Huang Hongfei has silver, so Mingyue won't save money for him, and found a restaurant that looks quite elegant, the two asked for a window position, and after ordering the food, they all collapsed in the chair without any image.
Seeing Huang Hongfei on the other side with a look of grievance, Mingyue poured him tea with a smile, "Today's expenses are all mine, how much silver is spent, and I will make it up to you when I go back." ”
She was in a good mood, and her smile was as if she didn't want money, "Don't be like this, don't worry, I won't eat and drink for nothing, I will definitely pay you back." ”
"Is it the silver?" Huang Hongfei opened his round eyes, looked at her with a look of resentment, and pouted and accused: "I'm tired and hungry, I've told you many times, but you didn't pretend to hear!" ”
"It's not that you pretend you didn't hear it, it's that you really didn't hear it." Mingyue looked innocent, "Look at the people coming and going on this street, I don't have as good ears as you." Okay, okay, don't be angry, isn't this going to bring you to dinner? Eat more after a while, let's go shopping, I just heard that there is a flower and bird market in the south, let's go inside, maybe you can buy what you like. ”
Huang Hongfei slammed his head on the table firmly, and said with a vague pain in his mouth: "Do you want to go shopping?" Kill me! ”
Mingyue pouted: "As for it?" ”
Huang Hongfei raised his head, looked at Mingyue weakly, and was about to speak, but a figure rolled over like the wind, Huang Hongfei subconsciously got up and blocked in front of Mingyue, only then did he frown and look at the middle-aged man who rushed over excitedly.
The man's skin is very white, his skin is not good-looking but not ugly, and he is well maintained, that is, he is middle-aged, and his figure has no signs of being out of shape. It's just that at this time, he looked at Huang Hongfei directly, with a complicated light in his eyes. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress himself so that he didn't look so excited, which scared Huang Hongfei and Mingyue. But his slightly reddened flashing eyes, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, and his rapidly heaving chest all showed that he could not hide his excitement.
Huang Hongfei looked at him, only feeling inexplicably familiar, but he was still very vigilant in front of Mingyue, frowning and asking, "Who are you?" What are you doing? ”
"Little boy! Little boy! The man shouted twice, still staring at Huang Hongfei intently, and bowed to Huang Hongfei very politely, for fear of scaring Huang Hongfei, trying his best to make his smile look more kind and kind, but the slightly hoarse voice still betrayed his tension and nervousness, "I don't know what to call the little boy?" ”
