Chapter 214: Building Momentum
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of July. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The summer is scorching, the weather in July is the hottest time, the scorching sun is ruthlessly scorching the earth, there is no wind, the flowers and plants in the yard are wilted and hung down by the sun, and the trees are shouting loudly, which makes people feel that the weather is more and more boring.
Kang Yeon fiddles with a huge upside-down golden bell in the gazebo in the garden.
This pavilion is a relatively high place in Zhuangzi, because of the high terrain, so there is a faint ** movement, so I don't feel very hot and boring.
Kang Yeon carefully sprinkled water on the tiny light green leaves, hanging the Admiralty upside down is not resistant to high temperatures, the weather is too hot, and it is necessary to sprinkle some water on its leaves every day.
After sprinkling the water, Kang Yan picked up small scissors and carefully pruned the leaves that had wilted and yellowed, so as not to rot the leaves and cause the leaves next to them to rot.
"Hey, isn't that the Ninth Young Master and the Young Master Cousin?" Qingmei's surprised voice sounded behind her, Kang Yan looked up, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Jiu and Chen Yikang coming together in front of her.
Xiao Jiu, who had just passed his twelfth birthday, grew up like a bud, and was almost as tall as Kang Yan, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and already had the demeanor of a beautiful young man.
Looking at Chen Yikang next to him, his posture is tall, his sword eyebrows are starry, and his dark red brocade robe is a perfect fusion of the nobility and coldness on his body.
It's no wonder that Qingmei was surprised, Chen Yikang's personality has always been deep and indifferent, and he rarely sees him talking and laughing with others like this.
I don't know what the two are talking about.
Kang Yan was about to open her mouth to call the two of them, and Chen Yikang also looked up and saw her.
In the huge flower pot in the pavilion, a coral-red upside-down golden bell is just opened, the small turquoise leaves are still hanging with water droplets, which reflect the crystal light in the sun, the huge flower branches are hung with bright flowers, slender flower stalks, crimson clover petals are wrapped in lilac multicolor petals, and the slender and soft coral red stamens hang down in the layers of petals.
Kang Yan wore a water-blue cloud gauze cardigan, a blue disc playing narcissus long skirt, and her waist was full of bixia cloud pattern waist lining, she stood beside the coral red upside-down golden bell, looking at herself with a shallow smile, and the smile on her lips loomed.
Chen Yikang's eyes flashed slightly, and a smile unconsciously hung on his lips.
People are more delicate than flowers, and only this word flashed in his mind for a moment.
"Hey, sister, are you here?" Xiao Jiu looked up and saw Kang Yan, "Wow, this pot of upside-down golden bells is really good-looking, sixth cousin, let's go up and have a look." ”
Xiao Jiu said and walked towards the pavilion, and Chen Yikang behind him hesitated slightly, but also followed.
Kang Yeon instructed Qingmei to pour cold mung bean soup for the two, "Drink a bowl and go to the heat." ”
Chen Yikang took the mung bean soup and drank it all, and the cold but sweetness instantly filled his heart, making people feel indescribably comfortable.
"Cousin, this pot of upside-down golden bells is really well cultivated." Chen Yikang glanced at Kang Yan deeply before speaking.
Kang Yan smiled, lowered her head and continued to cut off the yellowed leaves she saw just now, "Where did my cousin and ninth brother come from?" How did you two meet today? ”
Xiao Jiu drank another bowl of mung bean soup and replied to Kang Yan's words, "I came back from the academy, since Mr. Cheng returned to Beijing, the new gentleman doesn't seem to be in good health, always sick, and today we have a half-day vacation, and when I came back, I happened to meet the sixth cousin, he went to buy some things, ready to go back to the capital." ”
Back to the capital? Kang Yan looked up at Chen Yikang in surprise, "But my aunt's illness hasn't healed yet?" ”
A few days ago, my uncle sent a letter, saying that my aunt was sick and couldn't get down, and now Chen Yikang is going back to Beijing, but my aunt's condition is serious again.
Kang Yan thought about it, and a little worry appeared on her face, "When does my cousin plan to leave?" I also brought some things for my aunt and cousins. ”
Chen Yikang was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke, "My mother is fine, I have other things to do when I go back to the capital, and I have to deal with some urgent matters." ”
After a pause, his brows furrowed again, "I was going to leave tomorrow, but the ninth brother told me one thing just now, I still have to think about when to leave?" ”
Xiao Jiu told him something? Kang Yan looked at Xiao Jiu with puzzled eyes.
"Oh, that's right," Xiao Jiu explained: "Recently, there has been a rumor outside, and I don't know when this matter spread, anyway, it is now spreading in Macheng Mansion." ”
Kang Yan's heart jumped inexplicably, and she couldn't help but clench the small scissors in her hand and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xiao Jiu touched his head, "It seems that the first emperor also had a little prince, because something happened in the palace, accidentally let the second prince live among the people, I heard that the queen mother and the emperor in the palace After years of investigation, it has been determined that the second prince is in our Macheng Mansion, and sent a lot of guards to Macheng Mansion to find the second prince." ”
Has Su Chenjing already started to act? Kang Yan took a breath, he disappeared for so long, and said a few days ago that he was looking for someone, could it be that he was looking for help?
Kang Yan subconsciously felt that this news was spread by Su Chenjing, and if he wanted his identity to be revealed to the world, he must first spread the news of the existence of a second prince, so that the people knew and believed that the former emperor still had a second prince, not that the first emperor only had one prince in the current emperor as said before.
The people will not really examine the authenticity of this news, let alone trace the source, as long as they know that the high heavenly family also has such things that they can discuss after dinner.
The three of them become tigers, and there are many people who say it, and this matter will be believed to be 100% true, and people's attention will only be on whether the second prince is really in Macheng Mansion? Where is it and who is it? And no one thinks about how a second prince suddenly appeared, this is to build momentum first.
Moreover, in the news that came and went, the secret guards sent by the Queen Mother were said to be the guards who came to find the second prince, which means that Su Chenjing and the secret guards are standing in the light, if the secret guards want to harm Su Chenjing, they will inevitably have scruples about throwing a mouse trap, after all, in the eyes of the people, they are here to find the second prince, not to harm the second prince.
I don't know what method Su Chenjing will use next to quickly "prove" that he is the second prince left by the emperor?
This was a very important step for them to discuss that day, only by implementing the identity of Su Chenjing's second prince as soon as possible, the queen mother would not dare to act rashly.
After all, if a prince who has just been recognized suddenly dies, anyone will suspect the queen mother and the emperor.
"Sister, do you really say that there is really a second prince in our Macheng Mansion?" Xiao Jiu approached Kang Yan with a curious face, who knew but saw Kang Yan's face in a trance, and couldn't help but pull Kang Yan, "Sister, what are you doing in a daze?" ”
"Ahh Kang Yan was distracted, and Xiao Jiu suddenly pulled her, and the scissors she held in her hand swiped across the fingertips of the little finger of her left hand, and red blood beads suddenly came out.
"Sister, I didn't mean to," Xiao Jiu saw that Kang Yan had scratched, his face turned white, and he was about to step forward to check Kang Yan's left hand.
Who knew that the figure flashed, and there was a person who was just faster than him.
"Are you alright?" Chen Yikang frowned and pulled Kang Yan's left hand, and at the same time picked up the small scissors in her right hand and threw them in the flower pot, ready to wipe off the blood donation on her fingertips with her sleeve.
Kang Yan shook her head, "It's okay, it's just a small wound." ”
She withdrew her hand from Chen Yikang's hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her fingertips, "Look, it's just a drop of blood, it's fine." ”
Chen Yikang saw that there was indeed no wound on her white fingers, presumably only a little puncture.
He remembered the delicate and smooth touch in his palm just now, and felt a little lost in his heart.
Xiao Jiu saw that Kang Yan was really fine, and he also put his mind at ease, and apologized to Kang Yan with a guilty face, "Sister, I didn't mean to, what were you thinking just now, so you didn't hear it?" ”
Kang Yan smiled and comforted him, "........ I didn't think about anything, I just felt strange and a little surprised when I heard what you said. ”
Xiao Jiu sighed, didn't say anything, he always believed what Kang Yan said.
Chen Yikang glanced at Kang Yan deeply, she didn't want to be surprised by the look she had just now, and it was almost relieved.
Does she know something? Chen Yikang frowned, his grandmother has been a little strange recently, I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter.
"Is it because of this incident that the sixth cousin hesitated to return to the capital?" Kang Yan didn't notice Chen Yikang's eyes, and turned her head to ask.
Chen Yikang nodded, "It's not just that, I found that there are always strangers wandering around outside Zhuangzi in the past two days, I originally thought that someone was eyeing us, but now I think it may have something to do with it." ”
After all, my grandmother is the eldest princess of Fuyun, if there is really any second prince, it is very likely that she will come to find her grandmother, I don't know what the identity of those people who are wandering around outside, looking at the appearance of those people, they all have kung fu.
Stranger? It can't be a dark guard, right? Kang Yan's heart tightened, "Is the sixth cousin worried about the safety of his grandmother?" ”
Not only grandmother, but also you, Chen Yikang glanced at Kang Yan steadily, turned his head, and snorted in a low voice as a reply.
Kang Yan was used to Chen Yikang's strange temper, and she didn't care, "This Zhuangzi is heavily guarded, and ordinary people can't get in, so the sixth cousin can rest assured that he will return to Beijing." ”
As for the rest, the eldest princess of Fuyun has not yet told Chen Yikang about Su Chenjing being the second prince, and she is not easy to ask Chen Yikang to stay and help Su Chenjing.
Besides, there are Ren Shinian and Ren Shishun on Zhuangzi.
Chen Yikang was silent for a moment before he nodded.
Hurry back and hurry back to deal with the matter and then rush back, if you don't go back to Beijing, it is estimated that his mother will set his family affairs, and he doesn't want to marry a woman he has never seen at all.
Glancing at Kang Yan again, Chen Yikang made up his mind. rs
