Chapter 444: Brother Dispute
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these days, and Chu Xingyue almost can't wait to stay at home every day and not move anywhere.
She is already a heat-sensitive physique, but whenever she sweats a little, she will feel sticky, so summer is simply the hardest for her.
Chun Xing waited by Chu Xingyue's side, looking at the heat-reducing ice cubes that had been brought up from the ice cellar early, while fanning and looking at her own young lady strangely.
In the past, the young lady was afraid of heat, she knew it, but she found that the current young lady seemed to be more afraid than before.
The ice cubes used to cool down the heat are stored in the ice cellar in winter to prepare for the heat, and in the capital, only the real rich and noble families can use ice in the summer; However, it can only be used when it is the hottest, after all, the project of storing ice cubes is still relatively large, and there are more people in the house who need to use ice, so the ice cubes are used sparingly, but what about their young lady?
It was not long before it was hot, and he was clamoring that he was about to lose his breath, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was a very loving young lady, immediately ordered the servants in the palace to bring up the ice stored in the ice cellar; Although some ice cubes are not too rare for the prince, this intention is very touching and cherished.
Chu Xingyue was lying on the chaise longue, extremely nostalgic for the air-conditioned room of modern society, thinking that the people around her told her that this was not the hottest time in Dawei, she felt that she was about to lose her life; I feel that even if I lie still, it is like taking a sauna in a sauna.
"Chunxing, go and bring me another bowl of ice cheese."
Chun Xing, who was playing a fan, heard Chu Xingyue's weak voice, and refused without thinking about it: "I can't eat Miss anymore, you have already eaten five bowls of ice cream today, although the ice cream is delicious to reduce the heat, but if you eat too much, you will have a stomachache, have you forgotten the time when you died of pain a few days ago?" ”
Hearing Chun Xing's words, Chu Xingyue subconsciously hugged her belly, obviously remembering the pain vividly.
This is not good in ancient society, and the ways to cool down in summer are really limited, but fortunately, there are delicious ice cheeses here to relieve the heat.
Speaking of this ice cheese, it is not much different from modern smoothies, but Chu Xingyue loves sweets, so the fruits and jams placed on the smoothie are more than ordinary ice cheese.
Two days ago, she couldn't help but eat a few more bowls because of her greed and greed, but she didn't expect her stomach to start making trouble at night, and she almost died of pain from the intestines that were about to be twisted together; The doctors in the palace and the imperial doctors in the palace were called seven or eight, and each kneeling outside was frightened by the movement she made up; A mouthful of bitter medicine soup was poured down, and she hugged the pillow and cried uncomfortably, Zhao Ling stayed up with her all night with a nervous face, and the next day it was rare for her to stare at a pair of panda eyes and leave.
Afterwards, she finally quieted down, looking at Zhao Ling who came back from the next dynasty with a tired face, her eyes were full of guilt, she knew that she shouldn't be cold, but she really couldn't stand the heat of Da Wei, especially recently, she was afraid of heat, and even refused to let Zhao Ling sleep with her at night, always disgusted that he was a big stove.
Chunxing's words made her heart palpitate, but the heat in her heart really made her uncomfortable and wanted to lose her temper, but fortunately, she is now more sensible, knowing that if she is sick again, I am afraid that the entire Ling Wangfu will be turned on her back again, even for those innocent people, she can't do it anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xingyue spoke, "Then you pour me a glass of cold boiled water, I need to pour a fire on the fire burning in my heart." ”
Listening to her own young lady's pitiful voice, Chun Xing couldn't help laughing, hurriedly walked to the round table and poured a glass of cold water for Chu Xingyue, and at the same time coaxed her own young lady with good words like a child: "Miss, if you endure it a little longer, in another two months, the weather will gradually get cooler; Although we can't eat too much ice cheese now, the slave maid asked people to ice some melons and fruits in the ice cellar, and after a while, the slave and maid cut the melons and fruits and brought them to the young lady to cool down; Miss, be obedient, don't toss your body anymore, don't eat more of those smoothies, eat more fruits can not only quench your thirst but also nourish your skin. ”
Listening to Chun Xing's broken thoughts, Chu Xingyue finally sat up from the chaise longue, drooped her shoulders weakly, and took the cold water handed by Chun Xing and drank it, only then did she feel that the fire in her heart had been extinguished a little.
When she handed the cup back to Chun Xing, and was about to ask for another cup of cold water, she heard a noise outside, and then, she saw a figure rushing in in a hurry, and the person looked around after rushing in, and finally after seeing Chu Xingyue's figure, he hurriedly worked together, like a picture of the rivers and lakes in an emergency.
Chu Xingyue looked at this guy who suddenly appeared in surprise, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "Look who is here?" Zhao Xiaojiu, if you don't clean up today, you'll start to itch, right? You even dared to trespass on this flying feather courtyard in this main palace? Believe it or not, I'll tell you the third brother, let the third brother do it himself, and give you a tight skin? ”
That's right, the person who rushed in at this moment was Zhao Heng, who had been driven back by Pegasus all the way.
Zhao Hengran out of breath, and naturally knew that the ancestor in front of him was not easy to provoke, but right now, it was really important to save people!
……
Besides, Zhao Ling's study, as time passed bit by bit, someone soon came in to report that King Xi was coming.
Zhao Ling, who was sitting on the wide-backed chair to recuperate, heard the report of his subordinates, and slowly opened his eyes, his deep eyes flashed with a dull and unknown luster, so that people could not guess what he was thinking in his heart at the moment.
"Biography!"
The subordinates who were kneeling on the ground heard the reply from above, and hurriedly went out to welcome King Xi in.
Zhao Xi galloped back all the way, he was already in the dust, he was even more embarrassed at the moment, and even the brocade robe on his body was splashed with mud, but as if he didn't notice these at all, he walked quickly to the desk, opened a pair of eyes that were quite similar to Zhao Ling, panted, and put the plum blossom meteor dart in his hand on the desk.
With the sound of the dart being placed on the table, Zhao Lingqing's cold and quiet gaze fell on the glittering silver dart, and then stretched out his hand and took the dart in his hand, as if he saw it for the first time, he actually played it carefully, and did not say anything without hurry.
Even if Zhao Xi followed Zhao Ling's side for a long time, he couldn't learn the calm appearance of the third brother from home, and he rushed all the way from Longquan Temple to King Ling's mansion, God knows how much torment he endured in his heart.
He couldn't believe that the third brother had done all this, but in the face of evidence, he couldn't find any excuses to justify; But he really didn't understand, how could a high-ranking and powerful person like the third brother be eyeing a girl who had not yet left the cabinet, and he would have to go to great lengths to put her to death?
One was his brother, whom he had greatly respected since childhood, and the other was the girl he had fallen in love with for the first time in his life, and he did not want any of them to be harmed; But God loves to joke with him, and throws the most difficult problem in front of him.
Right now, looking at his brother like this, he has a thousand words in his heart, but he doesn't know how to say it, and he should start with that sentence.
In this way, the quiet and oppressive atmosphere stagnated in the study for about half a pillar of incense, and in the end, Zhao Xi couldn't help but break the quiet.
"Third brother, did you order someone to do Luo Qing's poisoning?"
Zhao Ling's gaze finally moved away from the dart, raised his head, looked at him with a faint expression, and replied, "Yes." ”
"The carriage of the Luo family was hijacked, Second Master Luo and Mrs. Luo were frightened, including that Luo Qing was taken away by thieves disguised by Jingwei later, and the third brother asked someone to do it?"
Zhao Ling said: "In the entire Great Wei, apart from His Highness, who else can order the people of His Highness?!" ”
When Zhao Xi heard this answer, his pupils shook violently, and then, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his arms were supported on the desk, and finally he couldn't control himself anymore, and shouted to his most respected brother: "Why?" Third brother, why is that? Luo Qing is just an official lady, even Ling Wangfu was the first time she came last time, with her character, she would definitely not do anything to offend you, why did you let her die? Third brother, do you know that the younger brother likes her, and really likes him. ”
Looking at Zhao Xi, who was about to collapse, Zhao Ling looked at him coldly and said, "You can't like her." I know, at your current age, it's time to get married and have a princess, you can choose the beautiful flowers in the capital at will, and Her Royal Highness can make decisions for you, but only her, no. ”
"Why?"
"There's no why, you just have to do it."
Zhao Xi felt that his heart was cold, and the whole person was about to shrink in pain because of the third brother's words; Since he was a child, he has always followed behind the third brother, he listens to whatever he says, if the third brother asks him to die one day, he may not hesitate.
But now, he doesn't want to be that well-behaved and obedient brother anymore, he wants to protect the woman he loves like a man, and wants to know why the third brother, who has always been calm and wise, suddenly makes things difficult for a helpless woman; Thinking of Luo Qing, who was dying at the moment, Zhao Xi felt that his heart was suffering from Ling Chi's punishment, which made him extremely tormented.
Zhao Xi, who seemed to be forced into a desperate situation, unconsciously shed tears from his eyes, opened his red eyes, and looked directly at the third brother who was sitting on the chair as calm as a mountain, word by word, and said it very clearly.
"What if, the younger brother doesn't listen to the third brother this time? What will the third brother do? Did you kill your brother quietly like killing Luo Qing? ”
