Chapter 42: Mr. Wu has returned to Beijing
CHAPTER XLII
"You should know the rest. The tenth brother entered the Zongren Mansion, and after several thoughts, the fourth brother decided to confine him in the mansion. He made a big fuss, but he could only stay in the house honestly. I looked at the ninth master and said to him with a soft smile.
He nodded and whispered, "You girl, you always handle things so well. I don't know what will become of me when I get into your hands. ”
I looked him in the eye quietly, "I'll do my best." ”
The ninth master nodded, lay down and closed his eyes: "It's a long journey, let's sleep for a while." As he spoke, he fell asleep breathing.
I sighed and closed my eyes as I leaned into the carriage.
More than ten days of day and night have passed, and the gate of the capital is in front of me.
We stopped the carriage, and Jiu Ye and I stood in the Shili Pavilion and looked in the direction of the capital in front of us.
"This place again. That's where you saw me off when I first went. He said leisurely.
I nodded, "yes, now, I'll bring you back." Or stop here. ”
"Hehe~ Wuli Pavilion, Ten Mile Pavilion. Farewell ......"
I looked at his insignificant and senseless appearance, frowned and asked him, "Brother Jiu, do you really want to go back with me?" If you leave now, I won't say anything, and the fourth brother won't blame me. ”
He turned his head and smiled so warmly: "It's all here, you still want me to run?" I didn't plan to run away, I'm back and I'm not going to run anymore. I never thought of running away. It's all over the place, isn't it? ”
Ignoring what I was about to respond, he took me by the hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, go back quickly." He led me into the carriage and let the sound of horses' hooves lead us to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Xiao Shunzi was still waiting for me at the gate of the palace, and when he saw me get out of the car, he hurriedly said goodbye: "Blessed princess!" ”
"Get up, what about the emperor?"
"It's in the south study. Princess, the emperor asked the servant to take the ninth master to meet the driver alone. Please go back to the West Warm Pavilion to rest. ”
I frowned: "This ......"
The ninth master patted me on the shoulder: "It's okay, you go, what else can the fourth brother do to me?" You go and rest, and wait for the news for a while. ”
I nodded helplessly, "Okay." Ninth brother, you must not have any conflict with the fourth brother, you know? ”
"Don't worry, you can go."
"Xiao Shunzi," I called him softly, "lead the way for the Ninth Master." ”
"Huh!"
I watched the ninth master walk towards the south study accompanied by Xiao Shunzi. Biting my lip, I walked into the Xinuan Pavilion and dismissed everyone, I called softly, "Butterfly Seventeen." ”
Butterfly Seventeen appeared and knelt on the ground: "Master! ”
"What's going on these days?"
"Eighth Master...... It seems that he is about to be questioned. The emperor has a lot of evidence, just waiting for you to bring the ninth master back, and then ask for the guilt together. ”
I panicked: "What did you say?" ”
"Master...... That's it...... The emperor is going to completely attack the eight masters and his party. ”
I nodded, my eyes frozen, "I see...... There you go. ”
If the fourth master wants to completely attack the eighth master and his party, it means that ...... Imply...... As the treasury of the Eighth Master's Party, the Ninth Master will definitely be severely punished, is it true that I can only watch history move forward according to its own trajectory after all?
I sighed, and couldn't think of what to do for a while, so I closed my eyes quietly, lay down on the bed, and fell into an unstable sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, I was pushed to wake up, and when I opened my eyes in a daze, I saw the fourth master looking at me with a frown: "Awake?" ”
I sat up, wrapped my arms around him, and rested my head on his shoulder: "You're back." How's it going? ”
The fourth master patted me on the head: "You don't want him to suffer, but now I'm afraid you can't." ”
I sobered up a little and looked up at him: "What the hell is going on......
"Hongshi's side is all arranged, now is the best time, I can't miss it." He was a little embarrassed, I could tell.
Nodding helplessly: "I understand." I just beg you, don't be too cruel to Brother Jiu. At least let me take care of him secretly, okay? ”
The fourth master sighed and touched my head: "Cheng, whatever you say, you can do it." My silly jade, how could I be willing to embarrass you and make you sad. He saved your life, and I am grateful. I have to do something in the open, in private, I don't care how you want to take care of him. ”
"Fourth brother, thank you."
"Silly girl, thank you." He kissed me lightly on the forehead: "He has now been sent to the Zongren Mansion, and the Zongren Mansion trial will only take a few months." In the meantime, if you want to see him, you can. Just have to be careful, got it? Although both of them were locked up, and the old ten and fourteen were also banned on the surface, the old Bayi Party was afraid that they would not give up so easily. What's more, there is also a Guo Luo Luo. ”
I frowned, "Indeed...... I know, fourth brother, don't worry. I looked at his somewhat tired face, stretched out my hand and stroked gently: "You're tired too, aren't you?" Lie down and rest for a while. ”
He took the opportunity to lie down with me in his arms: "You're finally back." You don't know how much I miss you. ”
I leaned into his arms: "Fourth brother, I'm sorry. After all, I won't be able to save Dador, so I can only bring back his ashes and relics......"
The fourth master lamented bitterly: "That's it...... Perhaps, this is his fate. In the end, it's all my fault, I didn't clean up Nian Qianyao earlier, which killed him. ”
"Fourth brother, don't blame yourself......"
"Yu'er, you wait, I will make Nian Qianyao pay the most painful price."
"Okay, I'll wait ......"
Nian Qianyao, if you kill me Dai Duo and harm my Ninth Master, do you still think you can escape my revenge? You wait, wait, everything has already begun, everything is coming to an end......
Early the next morning, I was sitting in the Xinuan Pavilion drinking tea and reading, trying to calm my heart as much as possible, when Xiao Shunzi suddenly ran in, and looked in a hurry: "Princess! Princess! ”
I frowned: "Why are you always so frizzy?" After so many years, why is it still so unstable? ”
Xiao Shunzi knelt down and pleaded: "Princess, please forgive the slave this time." I'm really anxious to tell you about the happy event! ”
"What's the matter with you being so anxious?"
"Mr. Wu is back! Just entered the palace gate! ”
I quickly stood up, glared at him and asked, "What did you say?" Who's back? ”
"Mr. Wu! Mr. Wu Sidao is back! ”
"Really? Where? ”
"I'm heading to the Heart Cultivation Palace!"
I shouted anxiously: "Lan Yue? Lan Yue! ”
Lan Yue ran over: "Gege, what's wrong?" ”
"Hurry up, let's pick up Mr. Wu!" Lan Yue helped me, and I said to Xiao Shunzi, "Lead the way in front!" ”
"Huh!"
Mr. Wu's return suddenly calmed my messy heart as if it had taken a reassuring pill. I didn't care about anything else, but hurried to meet him with joy.
After so many years, Mr. Wu has become an extremely important elder in my heart, I can joke and talk about my heart, when I need it, he will enlighten me, comfort me, give me the support and encouragement I need, he is like my big brother, or ...... A father......
I've never run so fast in the bottom of this pot, and I'm most annoyed to wear them, most of the time I wear soft satin shoes or riding boots of all kinds of materials. Only when I'm upset do I wear the bottom of a flower pot, and with this, I can't run, I can't wander around the ground anxiously.
But today is different, even if I wear the bottom of this flower pot made of aventurine jade, I still run fast.
Lan Yue and Xiao Shunzi gasped on the side and comforted me: "Gege, you should be slow!" ”
"Slow, slow, hurry! I'm going to find Mr. Wu! ”
"Gege, slow down, don't fall!" Lan Yue shouted, but I didn't pay attention to it at all.
I just kept running forward, until I saw the carriage in front of me that I personally sent out of the palace gate, slowly stopping in front of me, I stood in a daze, watching the door of the carriage being pushed open by the people inside.
The man with fairy wind bones, I haven't seen him for a few years, and now he is no longer the same as when his temples were slightly frosted, but his hair is full of silver threads, but he looks very good, and his spirit is good, and he even looked at me with a smile, smiled at me and said, "Why is Gege still reckless like a child?" ”
I heard his voice, as if I could be sure of the reality in front of me, with tears in my eyes, I finally put on a smile, rushed to him, walked over step by step, stood in front of him, and called him with a smile: "Mr. Wu! ”
Mr. Wu patted me on the head: "Gege is getting more and more beautiful, Wu has been gone for a few years, and he is already an old man with white hair, but Gege is still so beautiful, it seems that his temperament is better." As he spoke, he was about to get out of the carriage.
I hurriedly supported him: "Sir, it's still far from the Heart Cultivation Palace, you can sit in the carriage." Get off again when you arrive at the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”
Mr. Wu smiled and nodded: "Since Gege said so, then that's it, I, an old man, will listen to Gege's words." He laughed like this, and said softly: "Gege also get in the car, look at you like this, you ran all the way from the Heart Cultivation Palace, right?" Breathless. ”
I stuck out my tongue embarrassedly: "Let the gentleman see it." ”
Mr. Wu sat in, and I followed into the carriage, and in the spacious carriage, Mr. Wu's faint laughter seemed to be louder: "Gege is still the same as when we first met more than ten years ago." ”
I tilted my head: "Why do you all say that, I was only a thirteen-year-old kid, and now I'm almost thirty years old." But they all said that I was still the same as back then. ”
"Isn't it the same as back then?" Mr. Wu smiled lovingly.
I scratched my head embarrassedly: "Sir......"
Mr. Wu patted me on the head: "You're so good!" It's really good. We are all very happy that although so many years have passed and you have experienced so much, you can still maintain such innocence and maintain such a heart, and we are all very happy. ”
I bit my lip and nodded, watching Mr. Wu smile so lovingly.
The carriage gradually stopped, and Xiao Shunzi knocked on the door outside: "Princess, sir." We're here. ”
