Chapter 069: Rebellion
Autumn is sad, but it is not inevitable, and the light cold is a lovely day.
The misty spring sky, the painting of the building towers over the clouds. Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near.
The mountains are red all over, and the forests are dyed. Among them, there is a plane tree that stands out, full of golden leaves falling and returning to the roots.
Mid-Autumn Festival, Mu holiday.
Zhao Sizhuo changed into an ink-colored robe, with a dark blue lychee pattern jade belt tied around his waist, a pair of sideburns like cloud hair, a pair of deep and indifferent eyes, and a handsome figure.
Early in the morning, two carriages drove out of Yefu and slowly walked towards the outskirts of the city, one after the other.
At the same time, the carriage of the Lin Mansion drove into the palace.
Lin Yanning thought that he could sleep lazily today, but he was summoned to the palace early in the morning. When he saw Zhao Sizhuo's radiant spirit, his eyebrows were clear, and he was so depressed in his heart, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
"I'm out for two hours today, and I need you to stay in the dormitory."
"Huh? Your Majesty doesn't have to go to the temple today, why do you want to leave the palace? ”
Lin Yanning subconsciously asked, and then closed his mouth after feeling the cold eyes.
"Where's that letter yesterday?"
"Your Majesty, are you talking about the letter from the daughter of the Ye family?"
Lin Yanning found a letter on the dragon pattern royal case, and Juanxiu's font read, "Lin son, Yanning personally opened." ”
"Didn't Your Majesty read it yesterday?" Lin Yanning guessed that it was written by a woman as soon as he looked at the font. Although it was written in his name, because Zhao Sizhuo had been in the Taimiao Temple for three years with his identity, any letters to him were still presented to His Majesty first, so as not to accidentally see the emperor's privacy, which he could not afford.
"If someone comes from the Queen Mother's side, you will sleep. Wait for me to come back. "It means that the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager don't know that the emperor is out.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Yanning was depressed in his heart, hating why his father wanted to give his identity to the Son of Heaven to experience the people's livelihood.
When the Lin Fu carriage stopped at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, the Ye Fu carriage had already stopped beside it. Zhao Sizhuo instructed the servant to drive the carriage elsewhere. When he walked up the stairs leading to the Guanyin Temple, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous: why did you come here? Could it be that he wanted to see if the person who made the appointment was the one who had "no intention" towards him?

Ye Zhiqiu is not very enthusiastic about praying to God and worshiping Buddha, she believes: things are done by people, and believing in fate can not accept fate. I still followed my mother around the temple: kneeling, offering incense, and asking for signs. One did not fall, and walked the whole audience.
"My sister is tired? Let's go to the courtyard to rest~" Ye Mengjie was very enthusiastic and flattering to her today, as if she didn't come to worship Guanyin today, but to travel with her.
"It's a little tired, but it's not in the way. I'll just sit here and wait for my mother~" Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye were still in the hall, and they asked Mrs. Shi to understand what the signing of the hexagram meant. Ye Zhiqiu didn't know why, but he always felt that Ye Mengjie was a little abnormal today: he was too enthusiastic about her.
She rested, just in time to look at the mountain scenery.
The misty spring sky, the painting of the building towers over the clouds. Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near.
The mountains are red all over, and the forests are dyed. Among them, there is a plane tree that stands out, full of golden leaves falling and returning to the roots.
Just when she was immersed in the scenery, Ye Mengjie exclaimed: "Oops~!" My coral bead bracelet is missing! Maybe I accidentally fell somewhere when I just knelt down. I'm going to look over there, but my sister is going to help me look for it on the other side? ”
I just came down in a circle, and I walked through a lot of places. Therefore, her proposal is not excessive. In order to avoid too many people during the festival and avoid trouble, only the families of officials above the third grade are allowed to go up the mountain in the morning, and the maids and entourage are waiting outside. It is open to the public after noon. They came early, and there were few people in the temple at this time. Ye Zhiqiu didn't have much of a heart, and got up to help find it.
Guanyin Temple is located on the mountainside, the courtyard of the temple is staggered, with a century-old plane tree as the center, and the trees are clustered. After looking for a while, Ye Zhiqiu realized: Today's abnormality of Ye Mengjie seems to have been looking for an opportunity to break herself apart, and when she knelt down to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, she was obviously a little absent-minded. She thought that Ye Mengjie seemed to go straight to the courtyard of the hundred-year-old plane tree. I was suspicious, and my footsteps approached there.
In the courtyard of the sycamore tree, there is a side hall. There was a beautiful and charming woman in the hall, looking forward to it. Seeing that the appointed time had come, no one came. Anxious......
After a while, footsteps rang out. But it was Ye Mengjie's personal maid who was supposed to be waiting outside the temple.
"Miss, Miss! There was no carriage from the Lin Mansion at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that Lin Gongzi would not come to the appointment today. ”
Ye Mengjie's disappointment was overflowing, and she was unwilling to ask: "Are you sure the letter was delivered to Lin Gongzi's personal servant?!" ”
"Yes, miss. There can be no mistake. ”
The multi-day arrangement of bamboo baskets to fetch water is empty. Ye Mengjie's eyes showed jealousy and unwillingness. "If you can't even see Lin Gongzi's face, how can you tempt him to fall in love with me! He must be as lustful as Old Man Lin, as long as he sees my beauty, there must be a way to make him fall under my pomegranate skirt. After she had vented, she calmed down. Yin Qian said: "It seems that Ye Zhiqiu's name is not easy to use, I thought that they would be classmates for three years, and then use Old Man Ye to ...... the Lin family's residual power" Before the words were finished, the words changed: "Are you sure no one will see the letter?" "The eyes are poisonous, which makes people feel cold.
The maid shook her head again and again, and promised, "No, absolutely not." I did as the young lady ordered........ just dawned."
Ye Mengjie waved her hand, impatient to listen. "Quietly return all the handkerchiefs and notebooks stolen from Xiao Yao, even if this matter is mentioned by Lin Gongzi in the future, it is Ye Zhiqiu who seduces him, so that she can't argue with it....."
Ye Zhiqiu listened to it under the window, but he didn't really hear it, and he wanted to take two steps closer. I accidentally stepped on a fallen leaf under my feet, and made a "click" sound.
"Who?!"
Ye Zhiqiu was closing his eyes and waiting to be caught, and a figure swept down from above, lifting her onto the roof. Due to the rain in the south, the eaves are stretched outward. There is only a small space to stand on, which needs to be clinging to the roof and cannot be seen by the people below.
The two of them lay on their stomachs close to each other, motionless.
Listen to the voice from below: "Miss, no one." There are many wild cats and hamsters in the mountains, and they may be small animals making noise. ”
"Go back, Ye Zhiqiu is looking for the bracelet over there, and I guess I'm almost looking for it."
Listening to the sound of departing footsteps, and the sound of a heartbeat that was close to the end of the foot. The two looked at each other, and this was the second time. But the distance is close enough to count each other's eyelashes, and it is the first time in each other's lives.
Both of them were stunned. Zhao Sizhuo saw that the little face that was still nervous was a moving face that was difficult to hide, the original fair skin was dyed with a faint flush due to nervousness and excitement, like a white and smooth satin dotted with crystal clear and round beautiful pearls, the long black and soft hair was scattered, the pale yellow dress swayed lightly in the wind, and the faint fragrance of hair fluttered in the air. I can't help but feel a stir in my heart.
Ye Zhiqiu came back to his senses, thinking of the sentence he had just heard, "He must be as lustful as his grandfather", and he was ashamed in his heart. There were tears flashing in his eyes, but he still stubbornly stared at his eyes to prevent tears from flowing.
"Dengzi, let go!"
Ye Zhiqiu's angry low drink brought Zhao Sizhuo back to his senses, and he realized that his hands were on her waist, which was in line with the sentence "ascending to the disciple", and hurriedly let go.
"Ah~" A delicate exclamation, Ye Zhiqiu, who suddenly lost his pulling force, fell behind him, and if he fell directly to the ground, he would either die or be injured.
Zhao Sizhuo reacted quickly, on tiptoe, and with the help of one hand, he grabbed Ye Zhiqiu's waist again, grabbed the scattered branches of the century-old sycamore with the other, and rolled down on the ground full of fallen leaves. He landed on his back and held Ye Zhiqiu in his arms, unharmed.
Even though Zhao Sizhuo was brisk, there was still pain in his right arm and back that landed on the ground first. He unconsciously "muffled" a snort.
Ye Zhiqiu originally closed his eyes and felt that he was finished, and if he fell so high, he would have to break his arms and legs if he didn't die. Unexpectedly, he would save her regardless of the danger............
"You're hurt?" When she heard the muffled snort, she hurriedly got up, helped Zhao Sizhuo up, and leaned against the trunk of the sycamore tree. Examine him carefully where he was injured.
"What to do? It's all bruised and bleeding....... "I saw a bruise around the knee on his right leg, and a trace of blood had oozed out. She felt guilty in her heart, and if she hadn't let him go, she wouldn't have fallen; But he didn't let go, his hand was on her waist............
Thinking of this, she was anxious and angry. The urgency is that someone just saved you and was injured; It's angry that she has grown so big, and it is the first time she has been hugged and hugged by a man.
Zhao Sizhuo looked at the teary-eyed, beautiful and vulgar woman in front of him, and looked embarrassed when he thought of the touch of Yingying in his hand just now. Ignoring the injury, he defended himself: "I.... Not intentionally. ”
The tone was unfamiliar to him, nervous and flustered.
"Hmm." Ye Zhiqiu lowered his head and responded sullenly.
"The situation is urgent, and it surprises you. I'm sorry..... You let me go....."
"Oh! If I don't let you go, it's hard to ........"
Ye Zhiqiu raised his head and glared, his delicate goose egg face flushed, "Don't talk about this matter!" She widened her eyes and said "threatening", but she didn't know that it was not a deterrent at all, but it made people feel that she looked very cute in a bulging manner.
Sure enough, a smile flashed in Zhao Sizhuo's eyes. Afraid of angering her, he tried his best to endure it. A pair of clear eyes with a smile on a perfectly handsome face, looking at her intently.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't stand it a little too much..... Deceptive face, don't overdo it, stand up.
"I'm serious! If you dare to say it to others, I ...... Just say that you are light on me. Ye Zhiqiu was a little scared and a little anxious, although she knew that he was willing to sacrifice his life to save her, he should not be a bad person. But a woman's reputation is related to her reputation and family reputation, and she never dares to treat it sloppily.
"I won't, don't worry."
Ye Zhiqiu, who was assured by him, relaxed a little.
"Can you still go? Do you need my help...... You? "Although I was a little embarrassed, after all, it was to save her injuries.
Although she was flustered, the worry in her eyes was always there. Zhao Sizhuo seemed to have a warm current in his heart, "It's okay, you should go back." Someone will come to you after a while. ”
"And what do you do?" Of course, Ye Zhiqiu was anxious, in case someone came to her and saw the two lonely men and widows, she was really full of mouths and couldn't explain it. But if she wanted to leave the injured person here, she couldn't bear it, and she felt extremely guilty.
"Naturally, people will come looking for me. If you don't leave, you'll be seen......" After speaking, he glanced at her meaningfully, and both of them were stained with a little fallen leaves and soil, which looked like .......
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned at first, and then looked at his clothes, and his face turned red.
"Hum den disciple! I don't care about you anymore! After saying that, he lifted the skirt and fled.
After the people were gone, the smile in Zhao Sizhuo's eyes gradually faded, and coldness appeared in his clear eyes. Looking at the empty courtyard, "Don't come out yet?" ”
A person flashed from behind the side hall, dressed in black. Like a mysterious figure, there is no trace, there is no trace.
The successive monarchs of the Southern Zhou Dynasty had a loyal shadow guard of their own, who usually took turns to guard in the shadows, and only appeared when the master was in danger. Because it is extremely secretive, very few people know about it.
Just now, when Ye Zhiqiu was about to fall off the roof, Ying Qi was about to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, Zhao Sizhuo actually rescued him. No matter how fast Shadow Qi is, he can't be as fast as he is close to him.
"The master forgives his sins, and his subordinates will die." Shadow Seven respectfully knelt on the ground and waited for the hair to fall.
"Without your stone, I wouldn't have landed more than just my legs today." It turned out that before Zhao Sizhuo fell to the ground, the right half of the back of his head landed first, and it was Ying Qi's stone that hit him on the shoulder to adjust his center of gravity.
"The master is injured, and his subordinates should die."
"Forget it, today is my ......." It's not Zhao Sizhuo who is in danger, the shadow guard can't show up, it's the rules. Therefore, Shadow Seven is not at fault. But as long as the master is injured during the guard, it is the shadow guard's great fault.
"Closed for three days." It seems to be a cold sentence, but it is actually Zhao Sizhuo's lightest punishment for Ying Qi. Today, he was injured, if he didn't punish himself, and waited for Ying Qi to return to the team in rotation, he would be punished only severely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Yefu carriage slowly drove back to the imperial city from the outskirts of the city.
Suddenly it rained lightly in the sky, Ye Zhiqiu lifted the curtain, looking at the rain with some worry: I didn't see the carriage of the Lin Mansion at the foot of the mountain just now, and I didn't know ..... How is he doing now? In autumn, it was already a little cold. If it rains again..........
Until she fell asleep, she was still thinking about what happened at the White Sun Kannon Temple. Although she didn't hear it very really, she could speculate that it was Ye Mengjie who met Lin Yanning in her name. It also happened to correspond to the above, in the school temple, Liu Yan said that her little maid saw the maid of Yefu sending a letter to Lin Gongzi. But the strange thing is: there are many children in the temple, why did he choose him alone? Could it be just because he's good-looking?
Ye Zhiqiu's mind came up with the handsome face that was close at hand, with red lips and white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows...... A face that is more delicate than a woman, but it is not feminine at all, but it complements the cold temperament, and it is peerless.
When she reacted, she was actually reminiscing, no.... Think back to his beauty. Hurriedly shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, and urged himself to go to bed quickly!
The breeze is sassy and the rain is miserable, and the autumn colors are far away.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Zhiqiu was in a state of low spirits, and his face was sleepy and appeared at the dinner table. Because she has a fair complexion, the dark blue under her eyes is particularly conspicuous.
As soon as Ye Ruochen took a seat, she was shocked by her tired face. "Didn't sleep last night?"
Ye Zhiqiu replied weakly: "I slept, I kept dreaming, and I didn't sleep well." ”
"What are you dreaming about? Look at the toss that tosses you, the nightmare is not real, don't be afraid! ”
"It's okay if it's a nightmare........."
"Huh? Not a nightmare, how are you? ”
"Eat your meal!" Ye Zhiqiu gritted his teeth and was angry.
Although Ye Ruochen was curious, he didn't dare to provoke her again, so he obediently shut up and eat.
Ye Zhiqiu was even more depressed, he didn't sleep well and his appetite was not good. Thinking back to last night, in my dreams, it was the same .............. who saved her and lightened her
"Ah~!"
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly shouted with a complaint, which frightened Ye Ruochen's hand and the soup bag caught in the chopsticks fell into the white porridge in front of him.
"Puff~" splashed stars.......
Just like Ye Zhiqiu's calm heart, it has caused ripples, but he doesn't know it.
