Chapter 9 Blood-stained dragon robes, the show begins
Lime packed up her things and saw that Fang Han was still sitting there drinking tea.
"The tea is cold, the emperor will drink it in another place." Lime said coldly.
"Yu'er is angry?" Fang Han smiled at the corner of his mouth, got up and grabbed Lime's hand.
"The courtiers don't dare." Lime withdrew her hand, her tone detached.
"Is there anything else I don't dare to do?" Fang Han naturally withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
When the emperor said this, the courtiers were deeply frightened. The courtiers will return to the house immediately, and they will not cause any more trouble to the emperor. Lime handed over the packed items to Cai He, and didn't look at Fang Han from beginning to end.
Fang Han didn't speak, just looked at her angry appearance and felt very cute.
The imperial dining room brought a few side dishes and a pot of wine at the right time, breaking the silence.
"It's past dinner time, you haven't eaten yet, come and eat some." Fang Han said.
"Just go back and eat it." Lime refused, looking very cold.
"I know that you have been wronged today, and I must be blamed in my heart, this is your favorite osmanthus brew, so I should make amends to you." Fang Han pulled the lime, placed her in the seat, and poured her a glass of wine, "When I was young, I often made you angry, every time I invite you to drink osmanthus stuffed, you don't blame me." ”
Lime sat down reluctantly, picked up her glass, and drank the whole glass with her head up, and her cheeks flushed at a visible rate, and her eyes became much more misty.
"I drank so quickly, because I had a lot of grievances in my heart." Fang Han took her cup and poured half a cup for her, "Your amount of wine is not good, if you drink another half a glass, you can't drink it anymore, and I cried out when I was wronged, I am here." ”
After a long time, a voice with a thick nasal voice sounded, "You bullied me with her." ”
Lime snatched half a glass of wine poured by Fang Han for her and drank it all, and felt unhappy, she reached out to get the wine jug, but before she touched the wine jug, her hand was taken by Fang Han, and she didn't get what she wanted, she began to cry.
He took her in his arms, hugged her tightly, and let her cry. Today, he did wronged her, "Yu'er, no one will dare to bully you in the future." ”
He blamed himself deeply.
"You bullied me, you bullied me." She cried fiercely on his shoulder, "You don't allow me to enter the palace again, don't you want to see me again?" ”
"How could it be, why didn't I want to see you, I can't wait to take you with me every day." Her whisper in his ear pierced his heart deeply, "I'm sorry I didn't protect you. ”
The girl's body fragrance lingered in his nose, and her trembling body struck his heartstrings with crying, and her thick nasal voice was full of endless grievances and expectations, hitting his heart hard, and she said, "When will you marry me?" ”
"Yu'er, what did you say?" Fang Han's heart was shocked, he lifted her shoulder, looked at her carefully, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, "Yu'er, are you willing to marry me?" ”
"Hmm." The woman's crimson cheeks could no longer tell whether she was shy or drunk, only the thick nasal voice still revealed grievances.
I haven't seen him for ten years, and her indifference to him when I first met made him dare not make a rash decision, he was afraid that she would not want to, and wronged her. Now it seems that it was his hesitation that made her feel wronged.
Since she is willing to marry, why should he look ahead and backward, the family and the country, the people of the court, and the rivers and mountains are not as good as her.
"Yu'er." He whispered her name, "I'll marry you." ”
She was drunk, and fell asleep crying and crying in his arms. He carried her into the carriage with his own hands, and instructed the coachman to slow down before letting her leave with confidence.
Inside the carriage, the originally sleeping woman opened her eyes without warning, and her originally blurred eyes also regained their clarity.
"Let Jing Chuchu come to see me." Lime cupped her forehead and said in a deep voice.
When she returned to Xiao's Mansion, it was already late at night, and Lime got out of the carriage, and she saw the snow waiting for her in the night wind, and her cheeks were a little red from the cold and smiled happily, "Sister, you're back!" ”
"Well, I'm back." Looking at her smile, Lime's mood also improved a lot, she held her hand and frowned slightly, "Your hands are so cold, follow me back to the house." ”
When I returned to Sakurayukaku, I felt comfortable, and I didn't return for a month, and there was no change here.
"Come out." Lime Road.
"Master." A dark shadow quickly appeared in front of Lime, kneeling on one knee, very respectful.
"How's it going?" Lime asked.
"Ten years ago, the prince and Xiao Shiyi went down to Taihang Mountain together, and were robbed and killed halfway, one dead and one injured." As he spoke, Jing Chuchu took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, handed it to the lime, and continued, "This was recently found in a pawnshop in the city near Taihang Mountain, and the jade pendant came from a male corpse in the mountain ten years ago. It was an old man who came to pawn the pawn, who buried the body and took away the jade pendant. This jade pendant was half of it when it was discovered. ”
Lime took the jade pendant, and her face turned white in an instant. Although this jade pendant is half a piece, the word "Yi" on the back can also be recognized, this is the thing of King Yi's mansion, this is the jade pendant of my brother.
"One dead and one wounded, the injured person is Xiao Shizhi." Lime rubbed the jade pendant, tears flowed in his eyes, and his choked voice was full of despair, tear-jerking, and distressing, "The one who died is my brother." ”
"Sister." At this moment, Manxue's mood is extremely complicated, she is glad that her eldest brother is alive, but at the same time she is worried about her sister next to her. Manxue stepped forward to support her, but couldn't say anything comforting.
"Can you find the other half of the jade pendant?" Lime calmed down for a long time before asking.
"There are no clues yet, and no bones have been found in the place where the old man said." After Jing Chuchu finished speaking, after getting the signal from Lime, he left quietly.
"Xue'er, who taught Xiao Shizhi's tea ceremony?" Lime asked suddenly.
"Big brother's tea ceremony?" Man Xue was slightly stunned, not understanding why Lime suddenly asked this, but she still answered truthfully, "It's the daughter of an old friend of my father." When he was a child, he lived in Xiao Mansion and taught his eldest brother tea ceremony, but the girl died of illness soon after. ”
Hearing this, Lime felt as if the last glimmer of hope had been shattered, and he lost his strength.
My brother came out of Taihang, and what he learned was the Taihang Zen tea ceremony, but the product of Xiao Shi was the tea rhyme of Yashi.
That folding fan is the last thought that my brother left for Xiao Shizhi.
How she wished that her brother was still alive and that she still had a family.
Half a month passed very quickly for ordinary people, but for Xiao Guogong, it was like sitting on pins and needles, and he was anxious.
The reason is that the queen mother summoned him to the palace half a month ago to discuss the marriage, and the marriage between the emperor and his daughter. If this matter is put on others, he will definitely be grateful for a thousand thanks, and the emperor's grace is great, but he is so angry that he falls ill.
Now that the decree has been issued, if he does not obey it, he will lose the lives of hundreds of members of his family.
"Dad, how is your body?" Xiao Shiqian rushed back from the army overnight.
"Qian'er, how is this good?" Xiao Guogong's face was pale and very weak, and after saying a few words, he caused a cough.
"Dad, leave this matter to me to deal with, your health is not good, and you need to recuperate." Xiao Shiqian hurriedly got up and poured a glass of water for his father to comfort his father.
"Qian'er, when the prince and princess were martyred, I promised the prince to keep his children, and the prince died, I am already sorry for the prince." As he spoke, Xiao Guogong coughed again, and this time he coughed up a mouthful of blood, "Now that the prince only has the only blood of lime left, I just hope that she can live her life plainly." Not to mention that the hearts of the people in the deep palace are unpredictable and intriguing, just her and the emperor are unusual. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Guogong became excited again and coughed even more.
"Dad, don't you know, the person in the emperor's heart is not Lime, but Xue'er." Xiao Shiqian patted his father's back and comforted him, "Lime is just Xue'er's identity." I'll take care of this matter, you just have to rest in peace, and don't worry about anything else. ”
"However, the emperor has already seen Lime, and if he marries Xue'er, it will be a bully." Xiao Guo is fair.
"Dad, the prince and princess were martyred, and Lime is the queen of loyalty. It was only because the facts of that year were secrets that he had to cover up the facts under the pretext of King Yi's rebellion. When the county lord disappeared, the first emperor did not pursue it, but announced to the world that except for the prince, all the Yiwangfu family were buried in the sea of fire. Today's saint is a benevolent monarch, even if he knows the identity of the lime, it will not be unfavorable to the lime. Hearing the sound outside the door, Xiao Shiqian stopped at the right time.
"Second brother, you're back." Lime was holding the medicinal food, and he was very surprised to see Xiao Shiqian, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Hmm." When Xiao Shiqian saw her, he also raised the corners of his mouth.
"Uncle Xiao's illness came suddenly, thanks to the eldest brother who arrived in time." Lime put the medicinal food aside, sat on the edge of Xiao Guogong's bed, and asked softly, "Lime has studied medical skills with Master in Yuangu for many years, and now it can be regarded as a small success, so it is better to let Lime take the pulse for you." ”
"Don't bother, I'm a doctor, my own body knows by myself, just rest for a few days." Hearing Lime's words, Xiao Guogong quietly put away his hand and rejected Lime's proposal.
Seeing that Xiao Guogong had scruples, Lime didn't ask, she picked up the medicinal food and handed it to Xiao Guogong.
Those who needed to recuperate were not bothered for a long time, and when Xiao Guogong drank the medicinal food, Lime and Xiao Shiqian left his bedroom.
"In a few days, it's time to get married. At that time, Uncle Xiao's body doesn't know if he can get better. Lime looked worried, but also uncontrollably happy.
"Lime, you really want to marry the emperor." Seeing her so unconcealed joy, Xiao Shiqian's heart suddenly felt a little stuffy. "Actually, you don't want to get married." He never said this sentence.
"If you don't obey the order, who will protect the lives of hundreds of people in the Xiao family." Lime stopped, her face was solemn, and then she lowered her head again, "Second brother, I am willing." ”
"Lime, the second brother still has something to do, so I won't accompany you." Xiao Shiqian tried to pull out a smiling face, but his heart was even more painful. Lime, you know he's your cousin, you can't be together.
Lime looked at Xiao Shiqian's distant figure with mixed feelings. You are my respected second brother, you know my background, but you don't tell me, if I don't recover my memory, do you plan to hide it from me for the rest of my life?
Xiao Mansion, Ao Ge.
"Big brother." As soon as Xiao Shiqian entered the door, he saw Xiao Shizhi sitting at the table, leisurely making tea.
"I'm back." Xiao Shizhi glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down, "Have you seen it?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Shiqian sat down, picked up the cup of fragrant tea prepared for him, raised his head and drank a whole cup, "It's been two years since the last poison, although the poison was sudden this time, but fortunately, it was controlled in time." ”
"He is old after all, and it is not easy to carry it for so many years." Xiao Shizhi frowned when he saw him drinking tea, and felt a little sorry for the tea he had brewed, "Do you know how precious this tea is?" It's a terrible thing to give you a drink. ”
"For me, as long as it's not wine, tea and water are the same, just quenching my thirst." Xiao Shiqian pursed his lips, put down the cup, and said in an eager tone, "The emperor wants to marry Yu'er, how should I deal with this?" ”
"The third sister is alone, and there are more than 100 people in the Xiao Mansion, which is more important?" Xiao Shizhi closed his eyes and enjoyed the fragrance of tea, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"However, the eldest brother ......" Xiao Shizhi's attitude made him even more anxious.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Xiao Shizhi suddenly opened his eyes, took a sip of tea, and asked casually.
"Nope." Xiao Shizhi's casual question made Xiao Shiqian's heartbeat skip a beat. He knew that the eldest brother was the most sensitive, and he must not let him catch any clues, so he replied calmly, "I just don't want to be a victim of politics." ”
"Your brother is competent, but in comparison, I seem indifferent." Xiao Shizhi smiled and said jokingly.
"It would be nice if Big Brother could be closer to us on weekdays." Seeing that he didn't continue to ask, Xiao Shiqian's heart relaxed.
"Close." Xiao Shizhi whispered silently, and a hazy figure appeared in his mind, although he couldn't see it really, he knew that if she was still alive, she would be a peerless beauty. It's a pity that she's gone.
"There's a way." Xiao Shizhi rubbed the teacup, took a sip, and said leisurely.
"What is it?" Xiao Shiqian hurriedly asked.
Xiao Shizhi looked at him, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and slowly spit out two words, "Forcing the palace." ”
