Chapter 82: Ten Thousand Flowers
The light is faintly drooping, and the pavilion is scattered like a halo.
Ying Zhichu looked at her and said calmly, "Sure enough, it's you." ”
"It was Liang Shangshu who asked you to come to Qiushui Pavilion to find me, right?"
"No, my dad didn't tell me anything. It's just that they gave me this thing, do you recognize it? Ying Zhichu glanced at no one around, and took out the jade whistle he carried with him.
The white jade whistle is delicate and chic, and it makes a crisp sound when placed on the stone table.
Lu Shu saw the jade whistle, and her beautiful eyes were fleeting.
"Naturally." She held the whistle in her jade hand and played with it, her fingertips brushing the notches on the sentry wall.
A slight reversal, eight small characters came into view.
The autumn water is silent, and the flowers are gorgeous.
"It was with this token that you thought I was the person you were looking for?" Lu Shu did not hide the suspicion in her words.
Ying Zhichu raised a bright little face and nodded affirmatively.
Lu Shu's eyebrows smiled lightly, like a bud blooming, "I asked you to come here to persuade you to leave the Qi Mansion." But you actually took out this token, do you know its weight? ”
Seeing that the girl shook her head and denied it, Lu Shu smiled helplessly.
"I'm Liang Shangshu's eyeliner in Qiushui Pavilion, not just me...... And this thing can make all the eyeliners in Jinjia City listen to the envoys. ”
As soon as the words fell, her soft waist swayed slightly, and she knelt down towards Ying Zhichugong.
"You, what are you doing?" Ying Zhichu was so frightened that he hurriedly got up to help her.
Lu Shu was helped up by the woman, and explained funny, "Kneel to the master, otherwise you think I really drank too much." ”
Ying Zhichu's mind was confused, and he bit his lip and didn't know what to do.
Lu Shu handed the whistle to Hui Zhichu and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Yu Du's eyeliner is not just me, the weight of this thing can make everyone repay with their lives, after all, what Lord Liang wants to do is for the sake of the world." ”
Ying Zhichu pinched the jade whistle and muttered, "The handwriting on this? ”
"It was engraved after the book, this whistle was originally unwritten, it seems that the adult was dying...... I entrusted you to me. Lu Shu thought of that Yan Ci face, and felt sad.
"Sister Lushu." Ying Zhichu's eyes were misty, and he hugged the woman tightly without saying anything.
Gradually, the whimpering sound became more and more fierce, Lu Shu stroked the girl's long hair, and comforted softly: "I didn't want to tell you this, I went to Qingxuan Courtyard that night to deliver a letter and let you go to see Yao Yu...... Who knew that he actually lied to me, and actually forced you to come back here. We had a big fight over this, but now that we look at it, we can't go if we can't go. ”
Ying Zhichu tapped his chin lightly, tears rubbed his eyelids and drooped, and the grievances and sorrows in his heart in the past two years all poured out.
She thought she had no more relatives and no home.
She should have been left alone in the world in the future, but her father gave her hope to live before he died......
She left Lu Shu's embrace and carefully wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Sister Lushu, who killed my father?"
Looking at the resentment in the girl's eyes, Lu Shu sighed and shook her head.
"I don't know, in the past two years, not only has the emperor assigned secret guards to investigate, but we have also secretly worked on the ministers of the court and the central government, but the clue is actually on the whereabouts of the scorpion, they disappeared as if they never existed, and I haven't been able to figure out this matter until now."
"Scorpions? I know their whereabouts! Sister Lushu, you wait for me! Ying Zhichu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly admonished, and the person ran towards Qingxuan Courtyard.
"Hey-" Lu Shu shouted softly, the girl had already run away a few feet away, she couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Liang, you handed over the jade whistle to Liang Zhen, didn't you want to push her into the fire pit, why didn't you let her live a plain and carefree life, such a young child would be involved in this filthy whirlpool?" ”
The sigh was left in the wind, and she was the only one who knew it.
Ying Zhichu's tearful little face was full of hope, and she remembered the letter.
Sikong Yao forwarded the letter sent by Qi Liangzheng, and there was the whereabouts of the scorpion.
She hid the letter in a wine jar and hid it in the corner of the rockery of Qingxuan Courtyard.
During the day, there were no people in Qingxuan Courtyard.
Before she came, Qi Liangzheng lived here alone, and his temperament was cold and picky, so the servants did not dare to walk around the courtyard at will on weekdays.
In addition to sprinkling and sweeping, the entire courtyard is basically empty.
She removed the hidden stones and removed the jar of wine from the grass.
I patted my hands clean of the wet soil, opened the wine cork, and sure enough, the wrapped yellow cloth bag was still inside.
The corners of Ying Zhichu's mouth were slightly raised, and he took out the yellow cloth bag and returned to the Breeze Courtyard.
But after taking two steps, she paused slightly, looking at the cloth bag in her hand thoughtfully.
After a few moments, he changed his mind and unwrapped the yellow cloth, revealing the intact cover.
With a slight force on his fingers, he staggered the corner of the seal and shook off the sheet of paper.
She promised Qi Liangzheng to steal the painting for him before checking the letter.
Although she also concealed something about the painting, it was also the completion of the agreement between the two.
Fingers trembled slightly and took out the letter paper, the sunlight fell on the yellow and white rice paper, and the small characters on the green paper fell into clear ink, but her face flashed with astonishment.
Those few small words were passed by at a glance, but she read them several times.
"How is that possible?" She looked at it in disbelief, and even checked again to see if she had missed anything else.
But no, only this one.
The letter said that Fu Scorpion was forced to flee Lang Country after the East Window incident two years ago, but was attacked and killed by unknown persons on the way, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
"If the Emperor were to investigate this matter, it would never be such a despicable act." She folded the letter again.
began to think deeply about the authenticity of it, could it be that Sikong Yao was lying to her?
"Girl, what are you doing here?" Xueshuang snorted softly and came to Ying Zhichu with the cloth.
"It's nothing, Xueshuang, are you looking for me?" Ying Zhichu stuffed the letter back into his sleeve pocket with his back hand, and his tone was as calm as possible.
Xue Shuang smiled softly, "It's the lady of the Wind Courtyard who asked someone to send a few horses, girl, you see, they are all new good goods in Yudu, it seems that this lady is really favored." ”
Ying Zhichu heard that the person she said was Lu Shu, glanced at the fabric and looked away, only asking the first half of the sentence, "What else did Hu Niangzi say?" ”
"Oh, she said that she and the girl were like-minded and had a good conversation, but she had no choice but to meet with an emergency, so she asked the girl to continue another day."
Ying Zhichu was puzzled when he heard it, and couldn't help asking, "What's the urgency?" ”
In such a short period of time, could it be that something happened to Lushu?
"Poof," Xue Shuang chuckled softly, and took out one of his hands holding the tray, helping Ying Zhichu towards the inner courtyard.
"It's not the credit of Prince Qi, he didn't return all night last night, but he had a dispute with someone and was ...... Anyway, don't ask, the girl doesn't ask, it's the ugly thing in their Wind Courtyard, and the second son won't be like this. ”
Ying Zhichu nodded slightly at the beginning, and when Xue Shuang talked about Qi Liangzheng, she frowned subconsciously, and her whole body became uncomfortable.
"Girl, I'll measure your size and cut some clothes."
Ying Weaving was embarrassed at first, and before he could refuse, he was dragged away from the rockery by Xueshuang.
"Xueshuang, I don't want a dress, it's enough to wear."
"No, the slave maid thinks it's not enough, the girl will give the slave a chance to please you, okay?"
