Chapter 93: Heating Up (1)
Rong Ying breathed rapidly, he tightened his horse's belly, and looked straight at the light in front of him, it was the lotus lantern that Xinyue handed out of the carriage, she had been carefully holding it when she was in the market, and she refused to pretend to be in the hands of others.
At this time, she must have encountered an extremely dangerous thing, riding on the horse, Rong Ying drew a sword from his waist, held it in his hand and walked with him, first understood the horse thief on the left side at the end, the one on the right was on guard, but he picked off the horse before he could draw the knife, and now there is only one one left, at this time the man has already raised his knife and slashed at the crescent moon, so he did not hesitate for a moment, raised his sword and cut off the man's hand, and the new moon also lost its center of gravity and was about to be thrown out of the carriage.
The moment Rong Ying grabbed the new moon, the heart that came all the way finally fell, he used the force in his hand, and the good smell of camellia on the new moon came up, and when she saw who she was, her face was full of sweat and tears, and she pointed at herself with consternation, "You, you bastard." ”
"Oh? This king has saved you. Rong Ying frowned, she didn't expect that she would come with kindness, and she could be scolded by her, she was really kind enough to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Saying that, Xinyue struggled, and Rong Ying could only restrain the horse and let her go to the ground.
Crescent Moon stepped on the stiff ground, but her feet fell to the ground with weakness, and the whole person fell to the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.
The guards in the courtyard ran out, first surrounding the crescent moon behind them, and then went to arrest the three people behind.
Fei'er and Feng'er struggled to run to Xinyue's side, "Girl, girl, are you okay?" ”
Crescent Moon shook her head, "It's just that your legs are a little weak, are you okay?" ”
"The slave and maid were waiting for nothing, but when the coachman broke through the door, he tripped over the reins of the horse and was slightly injured."
"Okay, let Lang Zhong be called and healed properly. Then have people clean it up. If you have a living mouth, you will also be healed, and I will report to Fu Yin tomorrow. After Xinyue finished giving her instructions, Feng'er went to do what she was told, and Fei'er accompanied her, and after a while, Xinyue looked up at Rong Ying.
Rong Ying was standing bored, and suddenly felt the eyes of the new moon, and was a little surprised, "What's wrong?" ”
"Why are you here?" Crescent Moon asked in a hoarse voice.
"I, this king... Just passing by. ”
"Then how did you come to be so coincidental?"
"Listen to this hoarse voice of yours, which can be heard half a mile, therefore this king is coming. I see that those people are equipped with scimitars at their waists, they must be Liang people, I'm afraid they have been staring at you for a few hours. As she spoke, Rong Ying bent down and stretched out her hand to the crescent moon.
Xinyue looked at his turned palm, there was a wound on it that had just healed, this should be the injury he suffered when he blocked Wang's knife for himself in the East Palace, and he couldn't help but caress his hand.
Rong Ying used force in her hand and pulled her up, and then the guards came to report, "Girl, the three of them are still angry, but the hands of the people at the front have been cut off, and they need to stop the bleeding quickly." ”
"Then send two men to take him directly to the doctor. The other two are tied up and sent to the official early tomorrow morning. With that, Xinyue withdrew the hand that was covering Rong Ying's hand and turned away, not looking at Rong Ying.
Rong Ying could feel the temperature on her hands, she should be shy.
"Yes," he said, and the guard received the order and went about his work.
At this time, Xinyue, who slowly eased up, thought about the matter and asked Rong Ying, "You said that they are Liang people, and now Liang people have been injured on my Zhuangzi and have broken a hand, what should I do?" ”
Rong Ying also said calmly, "Naturally, tell the truth, they robbed you, and this king happened to pass by and saved you from the siege." I wounded people, and I cut my hands, and I have nothing to do with you. ”
"No," Xinyue immediately retorted, "I refused General Jiang's send-off, but something like this happened on the way back, the Jiang family and even the Queen Mother would pay attention to this matter, if they knew that the two of us were involved, it would not be something that could be explained clearly in a few words." ”
"What do you mean to be involved with me? What's wrong with being involved with me? ”
"It's always not a good thing to have a relationship with you." Crescent Moon looked at the dust on his body and the hole that the sparks had fallen on his clothes, and said angrily.
After Rong Ying heard this, she nodded, "Then you can handle it yourself." ”
With that, Rong Ying turned around and got on the horse, preparing to leave.
But the new moon grabbed the reins of the horse, raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Where did nature come from, and where did it go back." Rong Ying said angrily.
"You've got an arm injury." Crescent Moon pointed to Rong Ying's left arm, "It's bleeding." ”
Rong Ying glanced sideways at his arm, he didn't pay attention just now, he should have been scraped by a branch on the side of the road, which made him think of Xinyue's words just now, and he still blocked his breath and wanted to leave, but he was still pulled by her, "The city gate is closed, and there is no place to stay on this road, anyway, you can't go to the north camp to rest, come in with me." ”
Saying that, Xinyue didn't care if he agreed or not, turned around and walked into the courtyard, saving his life, Xinyue really couldn't say words of thanks to Rong Ying, it was okay to take him in for one night.
Xinyue entered the yard, Mama Wang and a few little girls got the news and ran over, seeing that Xinyue was embarrassed, and Feng'er and Fei'er were also wilting, and they were followed by this eight-foot-tall man, but she was frightened, and quickly pulled Xinyue to look at it from top to small, and saw that there were no scars on her body, so she put down her heart and asked, "What's wrong?" Why is it that His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent you back. ”
When Xinyue heard Mama Wang say this, she couldn't help but sneer, "You still think you are innocent, and the mammas around me think that it will be no good thing for you to send me back." ”
Rong Ying didn't speak, just reached out and patted the clothes on his body, because of the horse and fighting, the clothes on Rong Ying's body were not much better than those on Xinyue's body, Xinyue saw the injury on his arm, and said to Mama Wang, "Mama, clean out the wing room in the outer courtyard, burn the stove, and then take out the bed clothes I made for Rong Xu before." ”
"Girl, do you want His Royal Highness King Jin to stay overnight?" Mama Wang said incredulously.
Crescent Moon nodded, "It's just one night, and even if someone says it, no one will believe it, go ahead." ”
"Yes" Mama Wang looked back at Xinyue and King Jin standing in the courtyard step by step, walked to the second gate, and turned around.
Xinyue looked Rong Ying up and down, and Rong Ying was a little hairy by her and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this king?" ”
"Although they are clan brothers, you and Rong Xu are still about the same size, and you can wear that bed clothes if you want to."
"This king doesn't have a habit of wearing clothes that others have worn, no, when did I say I want to stay overnight..."
Before Rong Ying finished speaking, he was told by Xinyue, "Do you want to go in and have a cup of tea?" It will take some time to clean up the wings. ”
"Well, this king has come all the way, and he is really a little thirsty." As he spoke, Rong Ying walked into the house with Xinyue very cooperatively.
This place is completely different from the last time Rong Ying broke in. There is a special place for hospitality in front, this room, the left is the study, the right is the bedroom and bathroom, Rong Ying stands at the tea table, you can see the crescent moon from the half-hidden screen, and under the east window, the crescent moon often leans on the soft collapse. Everywhere the scenery is arranged by the new moon according to her own preferences, exuding her breath and elegance.
Xinyue gave Mo'er beside her a look, and Mo'er closed the screen door on the right side, which blocked Rong Ying's gaze.
Rong Ying walked up, sat on the side of the crescent moon, and saw her instruct, "It's already night, pour two cups of dandelion tea, drink it to help you sleep." ”
"Yes, girl, Mama Wang stewed pear pork rib soup, do you want to use some?"
"I'm just hungry, bring a bowl..."
Rong Ying frowned a little embarrassedly, the fog that had originally dispersed in his eyes, as if this would fill up again, Xinyue listened to the sound of his stomach gurgling, and said to Mo'er, "Let the kitchen cook a few dishes, fry them lightly and deliciously, and then heat the pot of wine." ”
"Yes" Saying that, Mo'er walked out, and after a while, when Cui'er came in with tea, she saw that Xinyue was turning her face away, smiling secretly, while His Royal Highness King Jin on the side showed a red cloud on his face and coughed, "Do you treat guests like this?" ”
Xinyue stretched out her hand, and after Cui'er went out with good tea, she said, "A dignified prince, you can do it, your hungry stomach is growling, fortunately it is in front of me, otherwise where is your majesty." ”
Rong Ying tilted his head, because he found that Xinyue, who was talking to him at this time, seemed to be in a very good mood, and when he was facing himself, it was rare not to be nervous and defensive, this was not her in the past at all, was she too frightened and hurt her brain just now?
Xinyue picked up the cup, she was a little thirsty, only to feel the heat in the teacup surge, Xinyue smelled the rich fragrance of dandelion grass in the cup, and said to Rong Ying, "Drink some, it can relieve tension." ”
"Are you alright?" Rong Yingzhen felt that Xinyue was frightened.
Crescent Moon shook her head, "I'm naturally fine, after all, it's not the first time I've encountered something like this." Under the hands of His Royal Highness King Jin, he also exercised once. It's just that this time it was saved by His Royal Highness King Jin, and we will settle it. ”
Rong Ying saw that she really didn't look like she was in trouble, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she was smiling.
"Didn't what happened just now scare you?" Rong Ying asked.
"Rong Ying, let me ask you" Xinyue suddenly called Rong Ying's name, Rong Ying frowned, "Bold." ”
"Let me ask you, is that person today Liang Wei?" Xinyue restrained her smile and looked at Rong Ying with a straight face.
Rong Ying pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it's just why did he come..."
"Since you're here, you kill him. It's the same as when he killed the prince's brother. ”
"You lost your temper in the harness shop, is that because of this? Want to avenge the crown prince? Rong Ying's originally stretched brows were tightly wrinkled together at this time.
"I can, but you can." Crescent Moon put down the cup in her hand.
Rong Ying frowned, as if she was not used to the new moon that suddenly changed her face, and the person who was smiling and relaxed just now seemed to be another Xu Xinyue.
I only heard Xinyue continue to say, "If you can't do it, I think, Jiang Yang should have a way, but he should keep Liang Wei, let him speak, as for what he said, His Royal Highness King Jin won't worry?" ”
"Jiang Yang? I heard that the relationship between the two of you has developed by leaps and bounds recently, and that old lady Zhuang is also walking around with you, as if treating you as a second daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you won't marry Jiang Yang? ”
"I don't want to, and we're not talking about this issue now, let's talk about Liang Wei, the damn prince of Liang Guo." As she spoke, Crescent Moon became emotional, waving her hand and breaking the teacup that had been set aside.
"You don't want to? According to your temperament, what you don't want to do, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't help you when he comes. You obviously want to, and you smile so happily at him, he has always been in love with his deceased wife, and there is no you in his heart at all" Rong Ying finished roaring, and found that Xinyue's fingers were curled up, and the exposed skin was visibly red and swollen.
Rong Ying's heart immediately softened, "Your hand..."
"It's okay" said, Xinyue took a few quick breaths and controlled her emotions, "I don't want you to have anything to do with him anymore." I also stood by and watched Brother Zhao's death, and I have no way to hate you, but Liang Wei, I want you to kill him, if you can't, if I can, then I will kill him too. As she spoke, Crescent Moon hung her head, trying to suppress her emotions.
"How do you kill? Was it to break into his inn? Or is he in the East Palace of the Liang Kingdom? I can tell you right now that he lives in the Baiyun Inn outside the West City, and have you ever thought that he would die in the fate of the Great Sage. Liang Guo is not the great sage you are familiar with. The sick and crooked Emperor Liang had no real power, and the clan of the Liang State was the actual ruler of the Liang State. And these clans are like eyeballs in the treasure of Liang Wei, died in Liang State, they will do their best, Jincheng has just fought, your brother Zhao's blood has not dried up, if the whole country comes to attack, Jincheng will be bitten off immediately, Jincheng is lost, Yanzhou will be lost, Yanzhou is gone, and the state and the eastern capital, half of the holy land, can not be saved. At that time, Huaizhou will be the only barrier in Jinling. You say, they all hit Huaizhou, don't they come to Jinling to have a look? Your grandmother of the Queen Mother, can she withstand the toss of moving the capital? After Rong Ying finished speaking, she smiled, "Female streamers, short-sighted..."
Rong Ying felt a pain in front of her eyes, and it turned out that Xinyue picked up the saucer on the side and smashed it on her eyes to "shut up"
"Okay, I'll shut up" Rong Ying nodded, he felt a fire in his chest, but this fire was not because of Xinyue, but because of what he just said, he was complaining about his incompetence, yes, he was afraid of Liang Guo's big attack, and he also understood why Xinyue picked up the saucer and smashed himself, the sentence that could not be blurted out was already ringing in his ears.
"You're right, you're right" Crescent Moon covered her face with her hands, she was indeed impulsive, if she didn't think about it, she said it herself, and Xinyue couldn't help but ask herself what was wrong.
"It's me, useless. But Xinyue, I can't kill him now, but five years, only five years, I won't be afraid of him. ”
Xinyue didn't know that five years later, he did it, and he dreamed of it in his dreams, Xinyue asked, "Since you are so ambitious and difficult to control, then Liang Wei, why do you still want to conspire with you, or Brother Zhao." ”
"Because of him, jealousy. Jealous of Rong Zhao, the first prince of the four countries, praised the magnificent and incomparably noble His Royal Highness. And he consciously held the handle of me killing Rong Zhao, so he could blackmail me..."
"You are more than a coercion." Saying that, after Xinyue bit her lip and felt the pain, she completely calmed down, "Your tea is almost cold, let's drink it while it's hot." ”
"Your hand..."Rong Ying was still worried, but saw that Xinyue hid her hand more and more inside.
Xinyue looked at the door, and Feng'er, who came in with food, rescued her, only letting her breathe a sigh of relief, "It's not that I'm hungry, use, let's eat." ”
Rong Ying saw her uncomfortable look, and couldn't help but sneer, "You can still eat now?" ”
"You say five years, okay, then five years." As she spoke, Xinyue picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Rong Ying.
Rong Ying didn't understand Xinyue, and it was because of this ignorance that he always wanted to look at her. Wanting to know what she was thinking, what she was going to do, what she was wanting. This uneasy mood made him feel that he had become inexplicable, and reached out to take the chopsticks in Xinyue's hand.
On the dining table are meals prepared from the kitchen, which are mainly stir-fried dishes, which are easy to cook and taste good.
Xinyue saw that he picked up the chopsticks, she also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, put it on the rice at hand, and walked a whole afternoon, Xinyue was really a little hungry, this fried pork slices with winter bamboo shoots, the juice was delicious, the winter bamboo shoots soaked in the taste, put on the hot rice, even under the rice.
Rong Ying saw that she liked it, and she wanted to taste it herself, but she turned her chopsticks and sandwiched another mushroom cabbage sum in her bowl, and Rong Ying also wanted to taste it.
The six dishes and one soup on the table, Xinyue seems to like to eat them very much, but Rong Ying didn't eat a bite.
Crescent Moon frowned and asked, "Don't you eat it?" ”
"I don't think you'll be able to eat this way, your hands are hot and blistered." Rong Ying put down her chopsticks and looked at Xinyue's hand.
Xinyue paused and said, "After eating, let's take medicine together." ”
"We?" Rong Ying picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of bamboo shoots.
Xinyue waved her hand, "Otherwise, it's still Fei'er." ”
At this time, Fei'er came in with pear pork rib soup and asked blankly, "What's the matter, girl?" ”
"It's okay, His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't have much appetite, let her taste Mama Wang's craftsmanship."
"Yes" said, Fei'er filled Rong Ying with a bowl of soup.
While eating, Cui'er came out of the inner room, holding a white porcelain vase in her hand, on which was a red plum that had withered a little, she was going to throw it away, but was stopped by the new moon, "The flowers on the top, aren't they not finished yet?" ”
Rong Ying turned around to see that the flower in the bottle was the "Snow Ying" that Xinyue said, and that was her own plum blossom.
"Yes," she said, and Cui'er took it back as she was.
"Do you like this flower?" Rong Ying asked.
The new moon nodded, "It is said that the white plum green stamen, this red plum astragalus is the most important thing to see in winter, and the thing that reflects the snow is naturally as bright as new." ”
Rong Ying didn't speak, but he felt as if he had come to taste, he didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food today, but at the Jiang family's banquet, he was poured a stomach full of wine, which would have already evaporated with the alcohol.
In the pear pork rib soup, it has been stewed for a long time, but it is still not a crisp and tough pear, and when paired with a mouthful of elastic pork ribs, the taste is very strange and the taste is very outstanding.
"Girl, the guards are back."
"Let Wang Da come in and talk back." As soon as the words fell, Wang Da bowed and walked in, bowed and saluted, "Girl, prince." ”
"What did the doctor say?" Crescent asked.
"The back two thieves were used to break the clothes and abdomen with a sword, but it is not too deep a mouth, after stopping the bleeding, there is no big problem, the head of the person, the hand is already useless, the bleeding has stopped at this time, but the person is still sober, now send a doctor to wait, the guards in the courtyard are guarding, the girl can rest assured."
"I don't have to go back and forth tomorrow morning, I'll go to the official, if the government asks, just say that on the way back to the house, I encountered these three people robbing and chasing, and was injured by the guards I was accompanying me, so let them watch it." Xinyue didn't plan to involve Rong Ying, it was dark anyway, and those people naturally wouldn't be too clear who hurt them.
"Yes," replied Wang Da.
Rong Ying asked, "Have you found out your identity?" ”
"After checking it out, the three of them are all from Liang Guo and have documents on them. The leader was a leather merchant from the Liang State, and the other two were his attendants. This person has been running a leather business all the year round, and his family is quite rich, and he has been doing business in our Dasheng for more than ten years. I don't know why I suddenly robbed you, girl. ”
Rong Ying frowned when she heard this, and was not surprised to be glared at by Xinyue, and then said helplessly, "I can't watch you buy rotten skins anyway." ”
"It's all your fault" Xinyue gritted her teeth and turned her head to Wang Da, "Today I am in the West Market, and I have selected furs on their shop, but who knows that they sold me shoddy goods, General Jiang Yang felt that it was not good to let them continue to deceive people here, so he notified the shop manager in the West Market, took their shop, and drove them away." ”
"It's not to blame Jiang Yang. If you cut off people's financial resources, you will be killed and killed. Rong Ying found a reason to open up for herself, and naturally refused to admit her mistakes.
The crescent moon drooped "You..."
"Don't you, you, yours, I have a name, if I have something to say." Rong Ying didn't like Xinyue so much that she had nothing to say, and she didn't care if Xinyue was so angry that she said it.
"Tomorrow..."Xinyue changed the conversation, otherwise he would really be angry with Rong Ying" Tomorrow, you will tell the government truthfully, saying that they moved the murderous intention because they have a grudge against me, you know? ”
"Yes," Wang Da got the order, and when he saw that Xinyue's face was flushed, he asked carefully, "but you have to find a doctor for the girl to take a look, your face and hands are red." ”
Xinyue shook her head, "You don't have to worry about it, I have something to trouble the girl next to me, you go down first." ”
"Yes," the king commanded, turned and walked out.
Rong Ying watched from the side, and then looked at Xinyue's face, "You are not beautiful enough to make people who see your face like you." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xinyue poured wine for Rong Ying, but he didn't drink.
"That head of the village is still a butler, so don't let him serve in your courtyard." After Rong Ying finished speaking, like Xinyue, she picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat.
Wang Da's matter, how could Xinyue not see it, but she didn't care very much except to keep her distance, after all, she didn't believe that Wang Da would have such courage.
In this way, the two of them were speechless and began to continue to eat this inexplicable dinner.
