Chapter 54: Qi Xiao
Night falls, and there is no wind tonight. An inconspicuous carriage stopped at the back door of the Chu Palace.
Su Rin opened the back door and walked out, looked around vigilantly, and made sure that there was no one, so he nodded to the groom.
The groom opened the curtain, and a gray-haired old man got out of the carriage, and his figure entered the back door in a flash.
The groom hurried away.
Su Rin looked around vigilantly again, and then walked into the back door.
Fuyuki-in.
After a long dinner, he lay down on the bed. She will feel solid when she curls up in the quilt.
Since returning from Jiujiu, the Winter Snow Courtyard has been lit up every night. Because of this, she felt a little more at ease.
Under the pretext of renovating the Winter Snow Courtyard, as well as the roads and forests around the Winter Snow Courtyard, Yun Chuhan had already ordered that idlers were not allowed to approach.
However, in the distant darkness, there were more than one pair of eyes staring at the Winter Snow Courtyard.
"Miss, it's still early. The slave maid found the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the young lady taught the slave and maid to recite poetry. Bi Luo said with a smile.
"No, no matter how many poems you can read, it's useless. You better let Su Rin teach you martial arts. "Said for a long time.
Biluo sighed softly and didn't say anything more.
Lie in bed for a long time, no sleepiness.
The closed courtyard door opened, and Yun Chuhan walked in.
When he heard the voice for a long time, he quickly covered his head with a quilt.
Soon, the door to the main hall opened, and someone walked in. Listen to footsteps, more than one person.
Biluo opened the door and saw the three of them walking in. She hurriedly saluted, then closed the door. Looking back, he wondered why Yun Chuhan would bring an old man over.
This uncle has gray hair and a sad face.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Biluo. Bi Luo knew, opened the door and walked out. Mrs. Liu also walked out and closed the door from the outside.
Walking into the bedroom, Yun Chuhan pointed to Li Jiujiu, who was lying on the bed, and sighed.
"My child!" The old man lost his voice, and tears flowed out like a.
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Lijiujiu couldn't help but be curious and stuck his head out. She saw a gray-haired old man walking over with teary eyes.
I don't know who he is for a long time, but I just feel that this sentence of my child makes her feel more cordial.
Li Jiujiu sat up and glanced at Yun Chuhan suspiciously.
"Jiujiu, this is your grandfather." Yun Chuhan said.
There was a surprised expression on his face. It turned out that this was her legendary grandfather, Qi Xiao, the master of Xiaomen.
Such a meeting scene was unexpected for a long time. For a moment, she was at a loss.
How did he get here? Didn't he care if I lived or died? Could it be that Yun Chuhan invited him here?
Lijiu's heart was in a mess, and he looked at Yun Chuhan again.
Yun Chuhan saw Lijiu's puzzled gaze, and seemed to guess what she was thinking at the moment.
"You don't have to look at this king. If it weren't for Old Man Qi coming, this king wouldn't have been able to find him at all. β
After Yun Chuhan finished speaking, he said to Qi Xiao: "Old man, don't be sad. Now, you should be happy to finally see your granddaughter. β
Qi Xiao wiped his tears, looking at him for a long time, his eyes full of sadness.
What the hell is going on? Li Jiujiu looked at Qi Xiao and felt that he should not be pretending.
Anyway, he's been a long-time grandfather, and I can't be so cold. Thinking about it for a long time, he called out to his grandfather.
Although his tone was a little raw, Qi Xiao was very happy and nodded again and again. He reached out and took the hand that had left her for a long time, and looked at her carefully.
Outside the door, Biluo paced up and down in front of the door. Mrs. Liu was sitting on the steps next to her, and she was too embarrassed to eavesdrop under the bedroom window.
couldn't help but be curious, Bi Luo stopped, walked to Mrs. Liu's side and sat down, and asked, "Grandma Liu, is that old man a doctor?" β
"It's the doorman." Mrs. Liu said.
Bi Luo's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Mrs. Liu showed a faint smile, then let out a long sigh and said, "After so many years, the ancestors and grandchildren finally recognize each other. It's a pity that this is the case. β
Inside the room, Qi Xiao sat on the edge of the bed holding his hand for a long time. Yun Chuhan moved a chair and sat opposite,
"For a long time, the old man is not a ruthless person. Mother-in-law is the pearl of the old man's palm, you are his only bloodline, how can he not care about you. After so many years, he can't recognize you, but he has been secretly protecting you. However, it is always beyond our reach. You don't blame him. Yun Chuhan said.
Hearing Yun Chuhan's words, his nose was sour for a long time, and tears flowed out.
Qi Xiao hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief and wiped away his tears for Li Jiujiu, and said in a trembling voice: "Jiu'er, it's my grandfather who is not good and can't protect you by your side." You've been wronged so much! I knew that today, I should have taken the hidden rivers and lakes with me back then! β
After speaking, Qi Xiao's tears flowed out again.
His hands were trembling when he saw it for a long time.
At this time, Lijiujiu was both sad and happy in his heart.
"Grandpa, take me away now!" Lijiujiu said that she wanted to leave here, away from the capital, this is a place of right and wrong.
"No way!" Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao refused.
Li Jiujiu was stunned for a moment.
Qi Xiao continued: "Jiu'er, grandfather, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have made many enemies. It was with this in mind that I made every effort to keep you in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Then hide the rivers and lakes so that others don't know that you are my granddaughter. I never thought that I would hurt you! β
Qi Xiao's words made a strong warmth rise in Lijiu's heart. However, she still had some doubts in her heart.
"That'...... Why did that man say you don't care if I live or die? Li Jiujiu couldn't help but ask.
Qi Xiao wiped his eyes and said, "Jiu'er, although I generally know what happened. However, you still need to tell me exactly what happened during this time. β
Li Jiujiu glanced at Yun Chuhan, hesitated for a moment, and started from the first meeting with Situ Jing.
Yun Chuhan didn't want to hear it again, his brows were tightly locked, and there was an anger rising in his heart.
broke into the palace of the king of Chu at night, deceived and kidnapped the princess, and wanted to kill people. Entering the palace of the king of Chu was like entering a no-man's land, which really made him angry.
However, what made him most angry was that he fell in love with another man for a long time.
Yun Chuhan pressed this matter in his heart and didn't want to mention it to anyone. After all, he had been cold and harsh for a long time, and even wanted to kill her for the sake of leaving Moxuan.
Yun Chuhan still felt that he owed her more.
Lijiujiu told Qi Xiao about the development of the matter in 1510.
Qi Xiao frowned and said, "I received a message from the flying pigeon, saying that you are missing. So I sent people to look for it. However, my men never found it. The woman you are talking about, whether she is pretending to be a person from Xiaomen, or whether she has a ghost in her heart, I must find out who she is! β
A stone that had been pressed in my heart for a long time was finally taken down. She felt much lighter.
"I thought my grandfather really didn't care about me!" said aggrieved for a long time.
"Jiu'er, don't worry. When I find out, no matter who she is, I will never let her go! Qi Xiao said.
"Grandpa, take me away now. I don't think those people will let me go! "I feel like I finally have a lifesaver.
Qi Xiao patted his hand and said earnestly: "Jiu'er, our grandfather has no way out now. β
"Grandpa, what's going on?" Leave for a long time.
"Child, the emperor is no longer in his prime. There is no owner in the East Palace. I want to stay away from these rights and wrongs, but right and wrong still come to the door. Now, if we don't make a decision, in the future, you and I will die without a place to bury. Qi Xiao's words were full of helplessness.
Li Jiujiu suddenly understood what Qi Xiao meant.
Qi Xiao cleared his throat, with a serious expression on his face, and said to Yun Chuhan: "Lord Chu, in this life, I have never thought of dealing with the imperial court. It's just that for a long time, I did what I didn't want to do. At the beginning, the emperor gave the marriage, but the old man used some means. Otherwise, just by relying on Concubine De's words, the emperor may not listen. β
Listening to Qi Xiao's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Yun Chuhan's eyes.
Qi Xiao continued: "Actually, I thought that sooner or later I would go for such a day. I didn't expect it to come so soon. Lord Chu, the emperor's living princes, you should know better than the old decay. Mu Wangye is vicious and has a very small amount. Lord Chen is a little younger, and his mind is not in the court. β
"So, your old man chose me." Yun Chuhan said.
"There is indeed a reason for this. But the main reason is that Jiu'er likes you. After Qi Xiao finished speaking, Yu Guang glanced at Yun Chuhan.
With just a glance, Yun Chuhan could see that Qi Xiao was very dissatisfied with him.
"The old man knows everything about the things in the palace, and there must be eyeliner in the front and back harems. The king promised that he would stay in the East Palace in the future and be the crown princess for a long time. A hundred years after her father, she is a mother in the world. When Yun Chuhan said this, his eyes flashed.
Qi Xiao said coldly: "Lord Chu, your ambition has finally been revealed. β
Li Jiujiu's heart was cold, and then he sneered: "Yun Chuhan, it turns out that you are for the throne." That sentence is really good, since ancient times, the true feelings cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts. β
"Jiujiu, you listen to this king's explanation......" Yun Chuhan didn't expect that Lijiujiu would think like this.
"Well, I'm tired. If there is anything to say, you will have time to say later. Qi Xiao interrupted Yun Chuhan's words.
Li Jiujiu held Qi Xiao's hand tightly and said in a pleading tone, "Grandpa, I don't want to stay here any longer." Will you take me to the ends of the world? The world is so big, how can there be no place for it? Besides, isn't Xiaomen the first sect in the rivers and lakes? β
Qi Xiao patted Jiujiu's shoulder and said earnestly: "Jiu'er, if you really have this choice, I would have taken you away a long time ago." Today's Xiaomen has long been in vain. In your mother's generation, you began to intrigue and intrigue with each other. Today's Xiaomen is not far from falling apart. I'm old, and I'm not afraid of anything. But you are too young to be as disgraceful as your mother. β
When Qi Xiao said this, his eyes were filled with tears again.
Looking at Qi Xiao's pale hair and haggard appearance for a long time, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he didn't say anything anymore.
