Chapter 494: Paper Can't Hold Fire
When I followed Li Rui back to the main building, I was drunk and golden, full of fragrant fragrance, and singing constantly.
He led me through the porch, and many dignitaries recognized his identity, and greeted him respectfully and respectfully, even officials who looked much older than him, and no one was pretending to be in front of him.
In particular, my new face in the Star Pavilion was still closely followed, which made those guests curious to look at it several times.
"Master Li, are we going to find Mother Liu now?" I lowered my voice, vigilant like a thief.
It's no wonder that I, this time I have picked out all the weirdness of the Star Picking Pavilion, and Li Rui is now the extremely trusted favorite of the current saint, if he intervenes, I am afraid that he will not be able to give a clear result.
But...... If the Xingxing Pavilion really made a bizarre murder, it was I who smashed Liu's mother's gold-inlaid jade rice bowl with my own hands!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tighten my neck and followed behind Li Rui.
Li Rui seemed to sense my uneasiness, and deliberately walked slowly, and passed a hand through the shadow of the glass lamp hanging under the cloister.
"I'm not going to let you have anything to do. ”
He seemed to know exactly what I was afraid of.
It is true that with his current ability, such a guarantee is a promise, but I also know very well that I am in an illusion, and if the crisis is not resolved, this cycle of illusion will not deceive me.
"Master Li, just listen to me, are you really willing to intervene without hesitation?"
I quietly stretched out my right hand to hold it, and my fingertips slid gently and staggered between his fingers, interlocking with his fingers, warm and dry, as if with a firm and mysterious power, and slowly merging from his palm into my body.
The wonderful sense of stability made my tense face relax a little.
Li Rui shuttled through the crowd, raising his hand from time to time to block the guests who were too drunk to swing west, so that they would not collide or get too close to me.
After walking for about a dozen steps, he came to the long staircase on the west side of the hall on the first floor, and only then did he turn around, and his eyes were precipitated by the quiet mountains and lakes, which were lined with a shining scorching light by the faint candlelight.
"Eastward, in this world, I don't trust anyone, except you. ”
Except for me.
These four words are like a bell hammer that knocks on the door of my heart, and the rumbling sound echoes throughout my heart.
It was a memory that I would recall after a long time and still feel the profound power.
Whenever I think about it, I have the illusion of a blessed soul.
When I got to the second floor, I had already noticed that some of the mahogany signs the size of a palm were hanging on the side of the doors, and there were delicate and warm nephrite jade coming from them, and there was a lewd laugh from time to time.
Even as I passed by a few rooms, I could faintly hear vague gasps and moans.
It's not a girl who doesn't do anything less, and I naturally hear that voice.
"Ahem......"
Because I was a little embarrassed, I deliberately clenched my fist to my lips and coughed lightly twice in an attempt to cover up the sound of mandarin ducks playing in the water coming from the room.
Li Rui hooked the corners of his lips lightly, and teased me with humor.
"People are on the rise, and you are not afraid to startle them if you suddenly cough so loudly. ”
"Then you should be a little more restrained!"
I pressed the back of his hand with my index finger, complaining in my heart that the level of this ancient building was not good, and the sound insulation effect was too poor.
Li Rui smiled and didn't say anything, probably pretending to be a murder in his heart, and didn't continue to tease, but I still saw two small blush quietly crawling under his ears.
This guy came to Qinglou in the past, but he never ordered a girl, and it is said that there are no ladies and concubines in the house, so theoretically speaking, he should be unfamiliar with this kind of thing.
When we walked to the door of Miss Mingxiang's room, we saw the long copper-colored padlock.
Li Rui frowned, as if he was thinking about something, when he suddenly heard a flattering and surprised shout from the corridor on the other side.
"Yo, Master Li, why did Green Glaze come here with you!"
The person who came was Liu's mother, who was wearing a jujube red gauze skirt, with a red face and a slightly drunk state.
She seemed to have come in a hurry, she didn't hold the usual fan in her hand, her coat fell diagonally over half of her shoulder, and with a slight wheezing, the spring snow on her chest looked particularly attractive.
Li Rui's eyes look at the nose and nose and the heart, and his eyes do not squint.
With a decent face, "Mother Liu, you came just in time." ”
In that tone, it seemed that he knew that Mother Liu would come!
I secretly observed Liu's mother's expression, and on the surface I looked smiling, but those frivolous expressions were too deliberate, and she glanced at me quickly, and her knife-like eyes poked me with a chill in my back.
"Master Li, this green-glazed room, not here, I'm afraid she won't know the way the first day, or I'll take you to her room myself?"
Catching a glimpse of our hands clasped with ten fingers, Mother Liu took the opportunity to speak.
Li Rui's expression was faint and he snorted coldly, "Mother Liu, is this pretending to be confused in front of this official? Whether or not to enter the green glazed room is up to the official to decide, as for the lock on the door of this Mingxiang girl's room, it can't be opened, but it's not for Mother Liu, you can decide!"
I have to say that Li Rui, who played the official power, was really majestic, and the irresistible pressure was exerted, and Mother Liu, who was still gagging, immediately lowered her eyebrows.
"What Master Li said is that the little woman drank two more glasses of wine, and then she didn't choose what to say, but this tea fragrance, Mingxiang her...... I was unwell and had already rested, lest I be disturbed by the drunken guest, so I ordered the door to be locked, and it would be better for you to ...... tomorrow."
"Paper can't hold the fire. ”
Li Rui didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and he was already imposingly interrupted: "Mother Liu, I don't know who this Star Picking Pavilion was under the protection of whom, but since I dare to stand here today, it means that even if that person comes, I can't condone it, in that case, why do you delay time?"
An indescribable sense of panic emerged from Liu's mother's Danfeng's eyes.
He, he knows?!
Click.
The keyhole of the brass lock was gently pushed open by the key, and the ring popped open, and with the snap of Wednesday's finger, the lock broke away from the wooden door.
In the corridor, it was still noisy like a vegetable market in the early morning, with the smell of wine running through, lewd songs singing indiscriminately, and a stream of mixed fat powder incense and the body odor of the man's temperament, intertwined and entangled, as if they all became extremely clear at this moment.
Liu's mother, who was in a cold sweat, stood beside her, not daring to move, Wednesday next to her had a cold face, her body was stiff, only the sleeves were rolled up to the elbow joints to expose a large area of dark skin, and a few green tendons were pulsating suddenly.
