Chapter 160: The Vortex of Conspiracy
Three days later, Song Wenyu recovered from his injuries and stood on the court again. Meng Yiwei looked at him from a distance, his expression was very entangled, as if he was a little guilty and unwilling. Until Chaosan, I never saw him come to find Song Wenyu.
Luo Teng, as a bystander, saw all this in his eyes, "You and Meng Dalangjun, what's the matter?" ”
Song Wenyu was silent, and walked off the horse without squinting. Luo Teng pondered beside him for a while, and suddenly began to look at his face, and asked after a while: "I heard that Meng Dalangjun broke into your house and beat you, is this true?" ”
"Who did you listen to?" Song Wenyu suddenly paused, looked at Luo Teng in a serious tone and asked.
"My eldest sister went back to Luofu a few days ago, and I heard her say this to her father," Song Wenyu's eyes were fierce, making Luo Teng subconsciously take half a step back, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Song Wenyu listened to Luo Teng's answer, his face was a little pale, and he walked forward silently, no matter how Luo Teng asked along the way, he never gave a response. It wasn't until he got into the carriage that he looked at Luo Teng and said, "For this matter, you just keep your mouth shut." If you shouldn't ask, don't ask, lest you get into trouble. ”
If you don't know Song Wenyu, you will definitely feel that there is a threat in his words. Luo Teng grew up with him since childhood, and naturally understood that Song Wenyu was talking about things. The more this was the case, the more cold his palms became, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it, but finally stopped the idea.
Luo Teng stepped aside, looking at the carriage of the Song family leaving, and the hands hanging on his sides couldn't help but clench into fists slightly. After a few moments, he also rolled over and did not stop long.
……
As early as an hour ago, when the men of the Song family had not yet returned from the next dynasty, Wei Lingyun had already come to visit.
He came abruptly this time, and did not prepare any greetings, but after the porter heard him report his home, he hurried to the main house to deliver the message and ask the old lady what he meant.
"Why did Wei Yuanzheng's son-in-law suddenly visit?" Old Madam Song also felt strange, as far as she knew, there was no friendship between their Song Mansion and Wei Mansion. It was even more strange to hear the porter say that he was here to find Song Dalangjun. But after all, the people of the Wei family are walking in the deep palace, and it is not easy to refute his face, so the old lady Song instructed: "Lead Wei Dalangjun to sit in the side hall, and then go to the east wing to spread the word, if Wen Yu has not come back, you will have a good talk with this Wei Dalangjun." ”
After pondering for a while, he added, "It's not good for me and the eldest lady to entertain the juniors, so you can let the eldest young lady go on a trip." ”
"Yes", the porter responded, and hurriedly rushed to the east wing. As a result, there is now the embarrassment of Ah Jin and Wei Lingyun being in the same room, staring at each other with big eyes.
In order to avoid lonely men and widows living in the same room, the door of the side hall was open, and two maids stood guard outside. Wei Lingyun fidgeted and glanced at the two maids several times, and then looked sideways at Ah Jin, his anxious expression overflowing.
Ah Jin, on the other hand, is much calmer. I saw her take a sip of tea, then put the tea bowl aside, looked at Wei Lingyun with a smile and said: "Doctor Wei doesn't need to be anxious, my husband didn't send a message home today to say that he would not return home for dinner, and he estimated that he would come back after the dynasty dispersed." ”
"Good, good. It was abrupt", Wei Lingyun also knew that the wall had ears, so it was inconvenient to say more. But when he thought of Shen Yu's current state, his whole person seemed to have been thrown into boiling water, suffering and torture, "Young lady, I ......"
Seeing that he couldn't hold his breath anymore, Ah Jin hurriedly raised a finger and pressed it on his lips. Seeing this, Wei Lingyun suddenly lost his voice and lowered his head in frustration. After about a cup of tea, the maid who was guarding outside estimated that the tea was probably cold, and brought in new refreshments.
Wei Lingyun looked at the steaming bowl of tea and was thinking about when Song Wenyu would come back, when Song Wenyu himself had already come to the side hall.
"Husband", Ah Jin stood up first, and watched Song Wenyu walk in front of him with a smile, "Doctor Wei has been waiting here for a long time, and if you are talking, I will step back." ”
As he spoke, Ah Jin was about to go out with Ah Zhen. Seeing this, Wei Lingyun was a little anxious. He hurriedly stood up, looked at Song Wenyu and his wife eagerly, and said, "Please also ask the young lady to stay." What Ling Yun asked for, he also needed the young lady to stay and listen. ”
Hearing him say this, Song Wenyu guessed Wei Lingyun's intention by eight or nine points. He first glanced back at Ah Jin, and saw that she had no intention of shirking, so he said to Huairen again: "You go outside and guard, and let everyone who waits go down." ”
"Yes", Huairen took the order and went straight out. Seeing this, Ah Zhen also went out after asking Ah Jin what he meant.
"Why did Doctor Wei come to visit my Song Mansion today, now I can talk about it", after the door was closed, Song Wenyu looked at Wei Lingyun and said.
Wei Lingyun watched the two of them return to the main seat and sit down hand in hand, and then felt a little relieved, "Doctor Song, I really have something to ask for." I lied before, saying that I was visiting you, but in fact I asked for the young lady. Young lady, please think of a way to save Ayu's life. ”
Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but Ah Jin was very calm. From the moment Wei Lingyun stepped into the Song Mansion, she had already guessed it. It's just that he didn't expect Wei Lingyun to do such a thing for the sake of Shen Yu's life.
So she raised her head, looked at Wei Lingyun, and asked softly word by word: "Doctor Wei should know that the current predicament of Ayu, if you want to use ordinary methods, there is basically no way out. ”
"I know below", Wei Lingyun replied firmly, and the look in his eyes was even more firm, not like he was telling a lie, "Because of this, I dared to come here and ask the young lady to help." Young lady, I ...... I've been to see Ayu, and I'm afraid of her, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on. ”
Wei Lingyun's voice was choked, and the words he said made both of them feel nervous. Song Wenyu looked at him with a solemn expression and was silent. The corners of Ah Jin's originally raised mouth gradually turned into a line, making her whole person look even more indifferent.
"You go back first, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. If necessary, I will let my husband contact you", for a long time, before Song Wenyu could speak, Ah Jin said such a sentence.
Wei Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and saluted respectfully to Ah Jin, then turned around and opened the door and walked out of the house. Song Wenyu looked at Wei Lingyun's back as he walked away uncertainly, until the figure had already passed through the second door, and then he turned his head to look at Ah Jin, who had already sat back on the main seat, "You should know that what you said just now is equivalent to agreeing." ”
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Ah Jin raised his eyes and looked at Song Wenyu, "Refused indifferently, and then watched Shen Yu innocently implicated." ”
"What do you want to do," Song Wenyu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.
"I have already written to inform the Medicine King Valley, hoping that their people can rush to the royal capital as soon as possible, and with their help, maybe there is a good way for the golden cicada to get out of its shell. You can save Ayu without causing trouble to the crown princess," she said, turning her head to look at Song Wenyu meaningfully, "In this way, the husband can rest assured." ”
"Ah Jin, you ......" Song Wenyu smelled a smell of vinegar from these words, but it was not easy to attack. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to wrap it on the back of Ah Jin's hand, looked at her very solemnly and said, "I don't care about others, I'm really just worried about you." ”
"That's not necessary, I won't make a rash move for such a big thing," Ah Jin withdrew his hand without a trace, stood up and was about to leave, then turned around and asked a few words deliberately, "Do you want me to rescue the crown princess together?" ”
Song Wenyu frowned slightly and shook his head, "You see that the inner city is a cage, but it is a cage again, and now it is her home." You take her out of her house, what happens after that? Where else could she go. ”
Ah Jin squinted at Song Wenyu and did not say anything. She is used to having a poisonous tongue, but she has never been able to fall into the trap of a poor woman who is embattled. At this point, she lost the interest in chatting, so she simply took Ah Zhen back to the east wing first.
……
After a long wait, the people of the Medicine King Valley finally arrived in the royal capital ten days later. As soon as Ah Jin received the letter, he immediately took Ah Zhen to the inn. The person who came was still Tuoba Liang, and when Ah Jin was guided into the room by Hatsumi, he saw him kneeling at the table in a dark shirt.
Liuli and Ah Yin are also in the room.
"Senior sister, Ah Yin," Ah Jin came in and greeted the two of them one by one, and then turned his eyes on Tuoba Liang's body, "Tuoba Gongzi, long time no see." ”
Tuoba Liang raised his head to look at the smiling little woman, nodded coldly, and then turned his head away, looking ahead without squinting. The people who came out of the Medicine King Valley had such an attitude towards themselves, Ah Jin had already gotten used to it, but Ah Yin squinted his eyes slightly and clenched the broken star in his hand.
"Miss Ah Jin is full of her word, and she promised me before I left that she would protect Shen Yu's thoughtfulness. If something happens to Shen Yu, it must be no matter how big or small, and he will report it as soon as possible. But why, when we knew, Shen Yu had already been injured by those people and turned into that look? ”
Faced with Tuoba Liang's successive interrogations, Ah Jin did not rush to answer, she first walked to Tuoba Liang and sat down, and then scooped a bowl of tea soup for the other party, and gently pushed it in front of him, and then said: "The matter has come to this, we have no intention of shirking responsibility." It's just that Tongtian Pavilion has never placed eyeliner in the palace, and a while ago, all the pigeons in the royal capital were recalled to Unruly Mountain. This matter, presumably the Medicine King Valley also knows. After all, ours and yours were evacuated at the same time. ”
Ah Jin's humble and arrogant answer made Tuoba Liang angry, and looked at her very aggrievedly, "Ah Jin girl thinks that what should be done now." ”
"I made it very clear in the letter, I just asked the Medicine King Gu to bring a medicine to help Shen Yujin Cicada get out of its shell. The rest, I, Tsutenkaku, will arrange it. ”
The Medicine King Valley is good at using poisons for medicine, and Tongtian Pavilion is good at changing the appearance and turning decay into magic, if the two forces can cooperate. It is not difficult to rescue Shen Yu.
It's just that it depends on whether Shen Yu himself is worthy of cooperation. Thinking of this, Tuoba Liang looked at Ah Jin with some hesitation, "There is one thing that I have been worried about. Senior sister has always been worried about the crown princess of Lao Shizi in her heart, and now, will she be reluctant to leave because of her. ”
"This time is different from the past," Ah Jin understood this matter, "Shen Yu is very smart, she should know it." This time, whether she goes or not, she can't help Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. She stayed behind to make a senseless sacrifice. ”
Ah Jin lowered her eyes, and the mist in the tea soup blurred her outline.
……
The main hall of the huge East Palace is full of doors and gloriousness on weekdays. Now all the servants have been removed, leaving only Zhu'er to wait by Meng Yidi's side. Meng Yidi knelt in front of several cases in plain clothes, and his bulging lower abdomen was particularly obvious. Zhu'er looked at her thin but still straight back, and a trace of unbearability and grief flashed in her eyes.
"Niangniang, if you are tired, go and rest," for a while, Meng Yidi kept copying Buddhist scriptures as soon as he opened his eyes. Since Zhu Liangxin escorted Shen Yu away indiscriminately, Meng Yidi couldn't get out of the main hall of the East Palace.
"Your face, is it better," Meng Yidi asked.
Zhu'er's heart was warm, and her eyes were a little astringent, but her face was still expressionless, "If you go back to Niangniang, it's okay." ”
Meng Yidi put down the brush, raised Zhu'er's chin and looked at it carefully for a while, then gently let go of his hand and said, "It's still a little swollen, I want some ice cubes to apply it to you." ”
"Niangniang," Zhu'er's voice became a little strange. She knew she wanted to cry, but the rigorous training she had experienced since she was a child had made her lose the ability to cry.
Meng Yidi also noticed Zhu'er's strange appearance, she looked at her, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's just some ice cubes." I still want to come, didn't the queen mother say, don't shorten my food and clothing. ”
Zhu'er bit her lower lip tightly and didn't make a sound. For the high-ranking Zhu family, she hated a little more in her heart. For the Zhu family, her feelings are complicated. If it weren't for the Zhu family, she would have frozen to death in the snow a long time ago, or become a starving corpse outside the royal capital. It was the Zhu family who picked her up and trained her to be a killing machine.
Zhu'er looked at Meng Yidi's way of concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures, and suddenly thought of the little maid who was the soul of her sword. What's that little girl's name? It seems to be called Xiaoliu, Zhu'er remembers that Meng Yidi was saddened for a long time because of Xiaoliu's death.
The past is like smoke, and the scenes come back to my heart. Just as Zhu'er was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The master and servant both raised their heads and looked out, and saw Meng Yihan standing at the door, blocking the light that should have poured in. Meng Yidi squinted at her for a while before he realized that it was her.
Meng Yihan stood there against the light, she thought that Meng Yidi would say something when she saw her, but the other party didn't say anything, just lowered her head and continued to copy the Buddhist scriptures. Meng Yihan was not angry at such indifference, she smiled indifferently, walked into the room slowly, and saw that Meng Yidi was getting closer and closer, and Zhu'er suddenly appeared to block her way.
Meng Yihan glanced at the maid who saluted in front of him, and then looked at Meng Yidi and smiled slightly: "Sister, why don't you send this slave out so that the two sisters can talk about themselves." ”
When Meng Yidi heard this, she almost stained the handwriting, but fortunately, she immediately retracted her strength and finally wrote the word completely. So she exhaled softly, put the brush into the pen wash, and watched the plate of water gradually turn into ink, "What else is there to say between me and you." ”
"Sister's words are out of sight. You and I are siblings, and we can't write two Mengzi characters with one stroke. Besides, the two of us sisters serve a husband together. If you want to say this kind of self-talking, you must be endless, you can say as much as you want. ”
Meng Yidi washed the brush with a cold expression, and then hung it on the pen holder. After doing this, she raised her head and looked at Meng Yihan, "Zhu'er, you should step back first." ”
"Niangniang...... Zhu'er turned around abruptly to look at Meng Yidi, and saw that her eyes were firm and did not doubt him, so she retreated unwillingly.
Meng Yihan's gaze followed the figure of Zhu'er leaving, and then turned his head to look at Meng Yidi and said, "Sister's ability to convince people's hearts, my sister really admires." Even the people who the Queen Mother planted beside you can be so loyal to you now. ”
"Are you here to say just that?" Meng Yidi leaned on his bulky body and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and asked.
"My sister's body, I'm afraid it's been seven or eight months. In another month, it will be production. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking forward to this child...... After all, if it is a boy, he will be the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Prince. It's just a pity, it's still in the womb, and you have to go through a lot of tribulations......" Meng Yihan stared at Meng Yidi's stomach and muttered.
"Finished? When you're done, please go out," Meng Yidi looked at her expressionlessly, without a trace of fear on her face, as calm as if this woman with a heart like a femme fatale was talking about not the child she valued the most, but something else insignificant.
Seeing that Meng Yidi was so oily and salty, the bright smile on Meng Yihan's face finally faded, "Sister, do you know what I hate about you the most." Your magnanimity, your self-righteousness, are the most obnoxious. It's all this time, do you still think you are the crown princess on top? ”
"Even if I'm so down, it's not your turn to make a big deal out of a woman who doesn't even have the title of side concubine," Facing Meng Yihan's hideousness, Meng Yidi was still arrogant. She knew that there was Zhu'er guarding outside, and Meng Yihan was at most quick in front of her, and she would not worry about her life.
Being alive is more important than anything else.
Only by living can there be hope.
Meng Yidi thought so, and as soon as he stretched out his hands, he let the wide sleeves completely cover his bulging abdomen, blocking Meng Yihan's resentful sight. She smiled on her lips, looked at Meng Yihan sarcastically, and said, "I thought you would never appear here." In the end, you still can't hold your breath. ”
Meng Yihan was poked in the heart by her, and his face became even more ugly. It is considered that her royal son is already full moon, but the crown prince rarely comes to visit her and the child. Even her children are still unnamed.
On the other hand, Meng Yidi, even if she has a stigma, even if the queen suspects that the child in her womb is not of proper blood, the prince still protects her without hesitation. If it weren't for the prince's sworn protection, Meng Yidi would have become a wisp of soul in this deep palace - along with the child in her womb.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Meng Yihan's mind. In the next second, her face returned to calm. Seeing this, Meng Yidi's brows furrowed slightly.
"Sister, you are really magnanimous. The person who knows that Zhu'er is the queen will keep her by his side and heal her injuries," Meng Yihan said this, his words changed, and his red lips hooked a beautiful arc, "It's just that I'm curious, if you know what Zhu'er has done, would you still be so calm?" ”
Meng Yidi looked at Meng Yihan silently, she knew that the other party was deliberately selling Guanzi, so she didn't plan to take this stubble, "Don't bother you." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be here later, so you better go back early and don't bump into him. At that time, why bother thinking about rhetoric. ”
"Heh," mentioning the prince, Meng Yihan also broke the jar. Xiao Shuo is not stupid, and to this day he naturally knows who is behind the scenes, and when Meng Yihan was doing these things, he didn't think that he could hide it. After all, as long as Meng Yidi and her child are gone, her son will be the eldest son. In this way, all that she has done is worth it, "I'm afraid the prince won't come today." Sister, think about what I just said. I'm really looking forward to whether you'll be able to be so calm and light when you know what Bamboo has done. ”
With that, she brushed her sleeves and left this secluded place that made her feel unlucky. Zhu'er was guarding the door, naturally hearing her provocative words. So when Meng Yihan walked out of the main hall, she looked at her with a murderous look in her eyes.
But Meng Yihan was not afraid of the coldness in her eyes, the more Zhu'er stared at her like this, the more she smiled brightly at Zhu'er. So much so that Zhu'er felt that this woman was simply a madman.
After seeing Meng Yihan leave, Zhu'er hurriedly walked into the hall and knelt on the ground, "Niangniang......"
Meng Yidi, who was in a daze, came back to her senses, and she said softly: "Get up, it's cold on the ground." ”
Although it was the height of summer, it was really cold in this hall. Meng Yidi knew that his state of mind was still affected by Meng Yihan, "Zhu'er, I miss Ayu, I don't know what happened to her." ”
Zhu'er remembered the tragic situation of Shen Yu's punishment, and really didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only reply vaguely: "Shen Yu, except for the poor food and accommodation, everything else can be endured." ”
Meng Yidi didn't ask any more questions, in fact, she had already faintly felt Shen Yu's fierce luck, "It's all on my behalf......"
Meng Yidi closed her eyes in despair, and her eyes were dark. Just like the whirlpool of power and intrigue she is now in, she looks around blankly, but there is no light.
