Chapter 55: The Uninvited Guest

Ah Jin and Meng Yidi sat in the water pavilion of the Prince's Mansion, and the two were relatively speechless. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Meng Yidi looked at her carefully for a long time, and suddenly said: "This should be the first time I have met Mrs. Song alone." The few times we met in the past were just a quick meeting. “

Ah Jin nodded and said, "Indeed." “

"Are you curious why I asked you over?" Meng Yidi asked with a smile again.

Ah Jin shook his head, picked up the tea bowl and tasted the good tea of the Prince's Mansion, and then replied softly. "No matter how many women want to ask for an invitation from the prince's mansion, this great good thing fell on the head of the concubine, and the concubine is naturally so happy that she doesn't want to delve into the reason."

Meng Yidi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he had touched a soft nail. Looking at her lively appearance of talking and laughing, where there is the slightest fear of the powerful, it is as arbitrary as in her own home.

Thinking of the Song Mansion, Meng Yidi's heart inexplicably tingled again. Ah Jin held the tea bowl in his hand, and didn't seem to look at Meng Yidi, but in fact, he had already seen her subtle expressions.

For a moment, she was sure that Meng Yidi still had feelings for Song Wenyu. Although Ah Jin had expected this matter before she came, when she really saw Meng Yidi showing such a stunned look in front of her, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She was jealous, jealous of Song Wenyu and Meng Yidi's childhood sweethearts. At the same time, she was also curious about what earth-shattering things had happened between them. She has heard a lot of stories about talented and beautiful women, and there is nothing unusual about it. But if this story is about Song Wenyu, she really wants to hear it.

Just when Ah Jin was thinking wildly, Meng Yidi suddenly spoke up. "I'm here to apologize to you."

Ah Jin's sincere eyes didn't look fake, but because she was from the Meng family and had a lot of connections with Song Wenyu, she didn't dare to believe it. "Your Highness has broken the concubine's body. This?? Where to start? “

Ah Jin's words seemed to be frightened, but they seemed to be a little teasing. Xiao Yanagi waited on the side, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. It's hateful that there are rules in the prince's mansion, and the master didn't let her speak, so she couldn't say anything. I could only bite my lip and stand aside and sulk.

Ah Jin glanced at Xiao Liu defiantly, and then looked at Meng Yidi with a different look, waiting for her answer.

"I apologized to Mrs. Song on behalf of my second girl. What happened before, it was all my family's Meng Er's fault,", just said. Meng Yidi asked Xiao Liu to bring out a brocade box, "This is a little bit of my heart, and I ask Mrs. Song to accept it." “

"This??" Ah Jin glanced at the box, and didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Meng Yidi's gourd, "Your Highness, not to mention that it is useless, and you have never come to the door as a guest and brought gifts back." “

"It's a bit abrupt. But?? If you sincerely apologize, how can you not express it? Meng Yidi responded with a smile, not feeling offended by Ah Jin at all.

Ah Jin looked at the big red gift box and hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and let Ah Zhen accept it. "Your Royal Highness is kind, if the concubine keeps refusing, it is a bit hypocritical. That. The concubine is respectful, and it is better to obey the fate. “

"That's right." Meng Yidi was relieved to see the maid standing behind Ah Jin reach out and pick up the box.

Seeing that the atmosphere was finally more harmonious, suddenly the sound of footsteps behind him broke the silence here. Meng Yidi looked at the gate of the courtyard with some differences, and suddenly his face changed.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Ah Jin was originally drinking tea with his head down, but when he saw Meng Yidi looking behind him with a frightened look, he also turned around curiously.

Seeing that the prince was walking towards the pavilion in the water with King Qing, Ah Jin's face turned cold, and he turned his head to look at Meng Yidi.

Meng Yidi shook his head, subconsciously wanting to explain something, and the two uninvited guests had already arrived. Ah Jin stood up with Meng Yidi and saluted the visitor.

"The crown princess is exempt, and Mrs. Song is exempt," Xiao Shuo stepped forward with a smile and helped Meng Yidi up, and found that her hands were cold. He squeezed Meng Yidi's hand tightly, making Meng Yidi feel a little painful, but the smile on his face did not decrease, "Crown Princess, this pavilion was originally a summer resort, and it was even cooler in the afternoon. When you entertain guests here, you always have to put on an extra coat, so that you don't catch a cold. “

With that, he looked up. looked thoughtfully at the brocade box that Ah Zhen was holding in her hand. Meng Yidi lowered his head, hurriedly responded to Xiao Shuo's words, and asked Xiao Liu to get a cloak for himself.

Ah Jin stood aside and watched silently, like a spectator who had nothing to do with himself. Suddenly, she felt a hot gaze looking at her, which made her unconsciously think of that night in the Meng Mansion again.

Ah Jin raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Duo staring at her intently. She quickly lowered her head, avoiding any more eye contact with him. The man's gaze was like that of a viper, moving up and down her body, sticky and cold, making her uncomfortable.

Ah Jin took a deep breath and forced himself to endure it. and hinted that Ah Jiu and Ah Zhen should not shoot casually. The three masters and servants stood in the corner of the pavilion like statues, without any superfluous reaction to the changes in the external environment.

"Mrs. Song, if you are cold, this king's cloak can also be borrowed from you." Suddenly, Xiao Duo smiled evilly, and as he spoke, he really wanted to untie the cloak on his body.

Meng Yidi was frightened by Xiao Duo's bold behavior, she turned her head to look at Xiao Shuo, but saw that he was just staring at herself, and she didn't react at all to Xiao Duo's teasing of Ah Jin.

"No, King Xie Qing is kind." Ah Jin replied to Xiao Duo coldly, if this attitude was put on others, Xiao Duo would have turned his face and denied people. But the woman who was cold to him was Ah Jin, who he thought about day and night.

Not only was Xiao Duo not angry, the smile on his face was even more obvious, and even his gaze became more and more unscrupulous. Ah Jin was very sure, if this was not in the prince's mansion, if it was the two of them in the same room, Xiao Duo would definitely not just stand there obediently and eat some tofu on his mouth.

"It's okay, but if Madame is really cold, you must say it. Today?? Madame seems to be dressed a little thinly. Xiao Duo looked at Ah Jin again, slowed down his tone and said softly.

"Prince Xie cares," Meng Yidi was already so frightened that his face turned white, but Ah Jin could still laugh, "The concubine suddenly remembered, I don't know how the prince's injuries are recovering?" “

Ah Jin's words were full of provocation and aggression, so arrogant that even Xiao Shuo had to look at her twice. Xiao Duo was stunned, he has been playing life for many years, treating women as playthings, and he has always been playing with others, but it is the first time that he has been molested by a woman like this today.

"The injury is almost healed, thank you Madame for your concern." Xiao Duo came back to his senses, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

The two exchanged courtesies, and the appearance of the needle tip against Mai Mang made Meng Yidi's back break out in a cold sweat. She subconsciously grabbed Xiao Shuo's shirt and leaned into his arms, as if she wanted to draw warmth from him.

This kind of active and intimate behavior surprised Xiao Shuo, he looked down at Meng Yidi, and found that her eyes were full of shock and helplessness. "What's wrong?"

"Ah," Meng Yidi came back to his senses suddenly, wanting to withdraw from Xiao Shuo's embrace, but the other party pressed him into his arms again, "I, I'm fine??"

"Fifth brother. You don't want to be like this, scaring your sister-in-law and Mrs. Song. Xiao Shuo turned around and mentioned Xiao Duo.

"It's my younger brother who is reckless and abrupt of the beauty." When Xiao Duo heard this, he exaggerated and bowed deeply to Ah Jin, and there was no sincere apology at all when he said it.

Ah Jin's eyes closed, too lazy to look at this disciple again. She was afraid that after watching it for a long time, she couldn't help but kill people.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, it is windy and too cool here, and the concubine suddenly feels a little headache, please ask the prince and His Royal Highness the crown princess to allow the concubine to retire." After Ah Jin saluted Xiao Shuo and his wife. He stopped talking and waited for Xiao Shuo's decision.

Before Xiao Shuo spoke, he glanced at Xiao Duo and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his reluctant look. "You??"

Before he could finish his sentence, a maid came over with a cloak. Ah Jin glanced at the slave maid, and was wondering why it was not Xiao Liu, when the maid suddenly threw her cloak at Meng Yidi, and held a short blade with a flip of her right hand.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that this assassin was going for the prince, but they didn't expect the other party's fierce blade to slash directly at Meng Yidi, who was powerless.

Ah Jin's eyes condensed, and he tilted his head slightly, and Ah Jiu jumped forward, came to Meng Yidi's side, and took him out of the assassin's attack range. However, Xiao Shuo and Xiao Duo were exposed to the assassin's blade.

"Prince!" Seeing that the assassin's short blade had reached the prince's side, Meng Yidi was so frightened that he screamed and was about to rush over. However, Ah Jiu grabbed her and made her unable to take half a step forward.

"Your Highness, you must be calm at this time. Protecting yourself is the best aid to the crown prince. Ah Jin stood in the corner and watched the three of them gradually fight out of the pavilion, and suddenly said such a sentence.

Meng Yidi's body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at Ah Jinjiao's beautiful face. "Why??"

She didn't understand why a woman could still be indifferent in such a dangerous scene. She never felt that she could compare to this Shen girl, she just blamed her and Song Wenyu's misses.

Available at this moment. But she was ashamed of herself. Meng Yidi saw that even if Xiao Duo joined the battle, the crown prince would also fall into disadvantage. Suddenly rushed to Ah Jin and grabbed her hand. "Please, save him, save him??"

"Save whom?" Ah Jin asked her rhetorically, which made Meng Yidi stunned.

"Nature is, nature is??" She thought that Ah Jin was asking her to choose between Xiao Duo and Xiao Shuo.

"Your Highness, you should know very well what will happen to this assassin if she falls into the hands of the crown prince. Death, I'm afraid, is the best relief for her. It was a bloody thing, but Ah Jin said it in an extremely gentle tone, which made Meng Yidi tremble all over.

"The reason why they are at a disadvantage is because they want to stay alive," Ah Jin didn't care what Meng Yidi thought of her, she watched the changes in the battle situation, and at the same time said the inner essence in one sentence, "The dangers and disadvantages you see are just the surface. “

"Do you know martial arts?" This discovery made Meng Yidi stunned.

Ah Jin smiled when he heard this, but did not deny it. "Your Highness apologized to me on behalf of Second Miss Meng before, so naturally you know how she was able to be released from the Great Compassion Temple. In that case, how could His Highness not know Ah Jin's life experience. “

Meng Yidi lowered his head in shame. She was so frightened that she had forgotten about these things. "I, I didn't mean to test you, I just??"

Ah Jin sighed, she was sighing for Meng Yidi. She was curious how such a simple-hearted woman could survive in this struggle for power. Queen Zhu Liangxin pushed the boat down the river to seek this marriage, I am afraid that she just took a fancy to the prestige and power of Lord Meng in the court. With the ambition of these people, in the future, they will ask for more from her.

Even though it is pitiful, Ah Jin only has sympathy for Meng Yidi, without the slightest pity. "Your Highness, you see, the winner is going to be decided over there."

When Meng Yidi heard this, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the three of them fighting. But the assassin was long gone. "What about people? That person?? Where did it go. “

"I guess I escaped." Ah Jin looked at the belated government soldiers, and a trace of puzzlement swept over her eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Duo helped Xiao Shuo back to the pavilion. "Sister-in-law, the prince's brother is injured."

"Ah, quick, hurry up and help the prince to the room, I'll go and ask the imperial doctor." Meng Yidi saw the wound on Xiao Shuo's left arm, which was gurgling out with blood, and his eyes turned red.

"I'm not in the way, I don't have to go through so much trouble, just invite the doctor in the house to come over and debride and bandage me." Xiao Shuo raised his head and saw Meng Yidi looking at him with tears in his eyes and being frightened and frightened, and smiled and comforted.

"Okay, okay?? Then I'll ask the steward to invite Dr. Hu to come over. Although Meng Yidi was scared, he was still relatively calm. She looked up, and was about to give the order, when her face suddenly changed.

Ah Jin knew that she was thinking of Xiaoyanagi. She took a step forward and held the crumbling Meng Yidi behind her. Meng Yidi turned his head to look at her, and said the guess in his heart tremblingly. "What if?? If that maid came over instead of Xiaoyanagi, Xiaoyanagi she??"

Ah Jin looked at her wordlessly and did not speak. No matter which answer it is, Meng Yidi should not want to see it. Meng Yidi's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

Ah Jin turned his head to look at Xiao Duo, who was intact, and said, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is already like this. You need to get some rest. Lord Qing, I'm sorry for you to take someone to find the eldest girl next to the princess. Such a big thing happened in the prince's mansion, after all, he had to see people in life and corpses in death. “

Xiao Duo thought the same thing in his heart, but the owners of this mansion were all in the gazebo. Meng Yidi had no intention of speaking, but the crown prince Xiao Shuo was still conscious. He looked at Xiao Shuo, and after asking what he meant, he took a few soldiers to Xiao Shuo's backyard.

He hurried away and came in a hurry. When he arrived, Dr. Hu was still bandaging Xiao Shuo's wounds. Xiao Duo came full of blood, which made Ah Jin frown.

Meng Yidi saw Xiao Duo coming, and hurriedly stood up. "How. Did you find someone? “

"The person was found, but he was seriously injured," he said, he looked at Xiao Shuo again and said: "Brother Prince, although this slave and maid were indeed seriously injured by the gangster, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not a murder. The younger brother suggested that it should be strictly guarded. “

"No, Xiaoyanagi has followed me since she was a child, she won't do these things!" Meng Yidi didn't expect that as soon as Xiao Duo came in, he would say something unfavorable to Xiao Liu. She trembled and argued. It looks like a lily standing in the wind in the hollow valley.

Ah Jin stepped forward and gently held Meng Yidi's shoulder. "Lord Qing is right, but before strict supervision, the more important thing should be to save people."

Xiao Duo turned his head and glanced at Ah Jin meaningfully. Ah Jin didn't understand why this person always looked at him like this, as if she was a beautiful meal, and as if she was scratching her head at him, her eyes were like silk. He wanted to be close to her, to have her, but he was wondering if the food had been poisoned, whether the woman who had seduced her was trying to take her life.

This kind of cognition made Ah Jin a little helpless, she didn't know how to resolve this kind of entanglement that was unreasonable and chaotic. She turned her head away. Look at Xiao Shuo.

"Mrs. Song is right, no matter what, it is important to save people." Xiao Shuo stared at Ah Jin and said word by word.

Ah Jin smiled and put down the hand that comforted Meng Yidi. "It's not too early, and it's time for the concubine to go back to the house."

"Mrs. Song, the matter is serious, please don't do it until it is found." Xiao Shuo, who had finished bandaging, stood up and said respectfully to Ah Jin. This kind of respect came too suddenly, which made Ah Jin a little surprised.

She owed herself, and in response to Xiao Shuo's request, she left with Ah Zhen and Ah Jiu.

Xiao Duo stood up, his gaze as if he was glued to Ah Jin's body. The afterglow of the evening fell on Ah Jin's body, as if she had put another layer of gentle makeup on her. The more affectionate and vicious he looked at her, the faster her steps became.

In the end, Ah Jiu really couldn't bear it anymore. "Girl, I'd better go and gouge out the man's eyeballs."

"Don't worry about him, this is the prince's mansion, don't make any extraneous branches." Ah Jin replied lightly. The implication is that if she could, she would have done it herself.

"Yes." Ah Jiu unwillingly put the hidden weapon that he had held in his hand back into his sleeve.

After Ah Jin left, Xiao Shuo first sent Meng Yidi back to the room, and then said to Xiao Duo: "What you mean to Mrs. Song is inevitably too obvious. Although Song Wenyu is not used by me now, he is your fourth brother's confidant and friend, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha. “

"Brother Prince, you don't have to worry about not being able to control him in the future. Isn't that sister-in-law of yours really wanting to marry him? Such a scheming woman, if she really marries into the Song Mansion, Song Wenyu will have to be used by us sooner or later. Xiao Duo smiled, with some evil aura in his smile.

He was still recalling Ah Jin's cold face, today she came to see the crown princess, wearing a light green wide-sleeved skirt, that dignified and delicate appearance made his body restless again.

Xiao Shuo frowned, a little unable to stand Xiao Duo's unscrupulousness. "All in all, be a little more restrained. I see that the two of them have a good relationship, so how many tricks Meng Er used, and in the end, I didn't see the two of them separated. No matter how much you think about her, now is not the time. “

"Yes, my brother knows." After Xiao Shuo said this, Xiao Duo figured out the other meanings in Xiao Shuo's words. In order to be able to envelop his younger brother, Xiao Shuo still relented in the end, which was already the biggest concession for Xiao Shuo, who had always been unable to tolerate sand in his eyes.

Xiao Duo is not a stupid person, so he naturally understands that he will accept it when he wants to see it. He lowered his eyes and looked at the wound on Xiao Duo's arm.

"That assassin has a lot of martial arts. The two of us joined forces, but we couldn't hold her. “

"Well, I think that's weird too. I'm even more curious as to why she's headed for Ichika. Xiao Shuo was also puzzled by this.

Xiao Duo thought for a while and said, "Could it be that it has something to do with the previous murders?" “

Xiao Shuo's eyebrows jumped, and he raised his head to look at Xiao Duo. "What did you say?"

"The victims of the previous murders seem to be the relatives of the important members of the court, if not the wife, but the children, parents, etc. From this point of view, there are some similarities. “

Xiao Duo's words made Xiao Shuo's face gloomy. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Fifth brother." You should go back today. “

"But??"

Xiao Duo was still worried about Xiao Shuo's safety, but saw Xiao Shuo shake his head and said, "It's best not to make a big fuss, wait until Xiaoliu wakes up." “

Xiao Duo thought to himself, that maid was so badly injured, she might not be able to wake up yet.

"Then, do you need to talk to the queen mother?"

Speaking of Zhu Liangxin, Xiao Duo's eyes were even colder. "On the queen mother's side, I'll talk about it."

"Okay, Brother Prince, you must be careful." After Xiao Duo saluted Xiao Shuo, he silently retreated.

The pavilion that was not lively before, but now only Xiao Shuo is left sitting there quietly. In the dark night, there was a sigh from the gazebo, and I don't know who it was sighing for.

The Prince's Mansion was in chaos, everyone was panicked, and no one cared about how this Young Lady Song left and how she got out. As soon as King Kong got into the carriage, he collapsed on the cushion like a deflated ball.

"I'm so tired," Ah Jin muttered with one hand over his eyes, "I'm so hungry that I'm going to sing." “

Ah Zhen had an idea and picked up the long box. "Girl, do you want to see what Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has given you, what if it's food?"

Ah Jin was speechless. Looking at the innocent Ah Zhen and said: "If she gives me a thousand-year-old ginseng, even if it is eaten, I can't eat it raw." “

"Well, that makes sense." Ah Zhen nodded and held the box in her arms, "However, I think this box is quite heavy??" It shouldn't be old ginseng. “

Ah Jin ignored her self-talk, at this moment, she just wanted to go back to the Song Mansion to eat and drink. The coachman hurried to the Song Mansion, and as soon as King Kong got out of the car, he saw Song Wenyu standing at the door.

"You're going out?" She walked up to Song Wenyu with some surprise, looked at him and asked.

"It's not. Waiting for you. Song Wenyu lowered his head, stared at Ah Jin's eyes and replied softly.

Ah Jin smiled when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to hug Song Wenyu at the door of the Song Mansion and kiss him. "Then let's go in, I'm hungry."

"Well, why did the crown princess keep you until this time." Song Wenyu was holding her arm, and the two walked in side by side, and everyone who saw it envied this pelican couple.

"Huh??" Ah Jin's eyes flickered, looked at Song Wenyu and whispered, "Let's go back to the house." “

When Song Wenyu heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded a little. He understood very well why Ah Jin was so cautious, it seemed that something was going on in the Prince's Mansion.

The two came to the east wing in silence, Ah Zhen and Ah Jiu Zhang Luo went to eat, and Huairen stayed outside the room.

"You say, what's wrong?"

"There was an assassin in the Prince's Mansion today, and her martial arts skills were extremely high at that moment, but what made me feel strange was that she was actually going for Meng Yidi." Ah Jin sat opposite Song Wenyu, and he could see Song Wenyu's expression very clearly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Song Wenyu stunned. "Who do you think she's for?"

His reaction made Ah Jin frown, and his heart was mixed. "Meng Yidi."

"She??" Song Wenyu's hand on his knee grabbed his robe slightly, and then let go, "Is anyone hurt?" “

The prince had been wounded in the arm by the assassin, but there was no poison on the blade. is the princess's personal maid Xiaoliu, whose life and death are uncertain. Ah Jin finished speaking. I saw Song Wenyu pacing back and forth in the room, but he didn't say anything.

Ah Jin's eyes glanced at the gift box placed on the table. She stood up, stroked the gift box with her hand and said, "This is given to me by the crown princess, saying that it is a gift to make amends to me on behalf of the second girl Meng." “

After speaking, she opened the gift box and found that it was a guqin. Ah Jin gently plucked the string with his hand and said, "Sure enough, it's a good piano." But why do I think that she is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and the drunkard does not mean to drink. “

With that, she turned her head and glanced at Song Wenyu deeply, and then left the room. When he passed by Song Wenyu's side, he deliberately bumped into Song Wenyu.

"Ah Jin??" Song Wenyu came back to his senses and hurriedly grabbed Ah Jin's hand.

Ah Jin didn't look at him, just stood there sullenly and silently. Song Wenyu turned his head to look at the guqin lying quietly in the box, and muttered: "This piano was given to her when I was young." I gave her a piano, and she gave me a piece of jade back. The piece of jade, I returned to her shortly after I married you. At that time, she still played with this piano??"

"That's enough, don't say it." Ah Jin couldn't listen to it anymore, she knew everything about the meeting he said. can see that Song Wenyu is deeply trapped in memories and can't extricate herself, she only feels that her chest hurts a lot.

"No, you listen to me. Now, she has returned the piano to us, which can be regarded as completely severing the connection between the two of us. Ah Jin, there is no more relationship between me and her. Song Wenyu said, reaching out and closing the gift box again.

Ah Jin turned his head and looked at the red gift box. "Can it really have nothing to do with it?"

She looked at Song Wenyu and said, "If that's the case, what if you keep a piano by your side." Why do you want to return it? Song Wenyu, you still don't understand women. “

After saying this, she broke free of Song Wenyu's hand, opened the door and walked out.
