Chapter 266: The Capital Palace

Wei Rui's words made Jing Xing a little stunned for a while, he didn't seem to expect Wei Rui to ask him like this, and he was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Looking at Jing Xing's reaction, Wei Rui knew that he had guessed correctly. She sat on the bed and was stunned for a while before she said to Jing Xing, "Did they threaten you with me?" That's why you're going to compromise with them? ”

Jing Xing hurriedly shook his head and said no.

"Then why did you say yes?" Wei Rui asked.

"Do you think I don't know you? If you'd already done this kind of thing, why wait until today? You want to go back now, so that's why you agreed to them for the time being, right? Wei Rui asked more than once, Jing Xing hesitated for a moment before replying: "I can't tell you the specifics, but things are not what you think, maybe you don't know me at all." ”

Wei Rui: "??? ”

Her chest rose and fell several times, and she didn't seem to believe what Jing Xing said, but she saw that his expression was serious and serious, not laughing at all.

Wei Rui had mixed emotions in her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Knowing that Wei Rui couldn't accept this fact for the time being, Jing Xing didn't continue to speak, but only said to Wei Rui: "Tomorrow, we will set off to return to Beijing." When you arrive in the capital, you may be locked up in a large courtyard, and there will be people guarding you outside the door, and it may be difficult for you to go out and move around, but there will be someone to take care of you in your daily life, so you don't have to worry a lot. ”

Wei Rui raised her eyelids and looked at him, and said after a while: "Although I don't know what you're doing now, I hope you can understand that no matter what you do, you should know clearly in your heart what you're doing, no one will bear the consequences of this matter for you, whether it's success or failure, you need to deal with the rest of the things yourself, if you think you can bear the consequences of doing this, then I have nothing to say." ”

"But even if the love of children is not as good as the righteousness of the family and the country, if you really do something that I despise very much, then the relationship between the two of us will end here."

"You may not care about it, but I still have to make it clear to you in advance, lest it become my fault again."

Jingxing was silent, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Pei Ling'an's voice sounded outside the house, looking for Jingxing to talk about things. Jing Xing glanced at Wei Rui, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed sulking, and after hesitating for a moment, he got up and opened the door and walked out.

After Jingxing left, Wei Rui sat alone in the house in a daze, and when it was time to have breakfast, a woman the age of a mother-in-law knocked on the door from outside the house, saying that it was for her to eat.

Wei Rui was indeed hungry, but she didn't want to eat at all, she was flustered now, she didn't know what Jing Xing had done, so she still had the heart to do this.

But the instinctive reaction of her body made her look at those delicacies frequently.

To tell the truth, although this village looks very shabby, but this meal is quite delicious, Wei Rui looked at the color of the food, and the smell of the fragrance, he liked it very much, and wanted to pounce on it and eat it clean.

But the woman stood aside and watched, and Wei Rui was a little embarrassed.

Probably aware of Wei Rui's thoughts, the woman said: "Girl, don't be polite, these meals are made according to the requirements of that official, he specifically told me how to do it, I want you to have a good meal, and I will take care of you in a few days, so I thought I would come and see it now, so I would be more familiar." ”

Wei Rui reacted at this time, no wonder he just looked at these dishes that he liked, it turned out that Jing Xing ordered them.

She unconsciously became melancholy again, if she wanted to say that she was worried, she also knew that even if she was worried, she couldn't do anything, and she didn't relax her mind, but she was really afraid that Jingxing would really join.

If the reason is still because of her, then she really can't be better at all.

The matter of rebellion is not an understatement, it is a great rebellion that is indignant to people and gods, and it is something that people dare not think of, and it is not something that can be solved by fining money and degrading it.

It's going to kill the head, and it's going to sit together!

Thinking of this, Wei Rui felt that her heart was crumpled into a ball, and the fragrant meal in front of her was difficult to swallow for a moment.

The mother-in-law saw that Wei Rui was in a wrong mood, so she asked, "Why doesn't the girl eat it?" Do you think the meal I cooked is not fragrant? Or is it that the taste has changed again and you don't want to eat these dishes? If you don't want to eat it, I'll go down and make it for the girl. "Heyuan book

Wei Rui looked at her suspiciously, this is not the case of treating hostages, she looked at her mother-in-law, and said for a while: "Do you know something?" Did you say that the official promised your village owner something? That's why your owner of the village instructed you to treat me well and make me these dishes to eat. ”

The woman waved her hand and shook her head and said, "How can there be! Don't hide it from the girl, I haven't seen our village master, but the official gave me a few taels of silver and asked me to take good care of you. ”

When Wei Rui heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable, she picked up the rice bowl, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and then said to her mother-in-law: "What you make is delicious, cook for me in the future." ”

The woman said happily: "It's good if the girl likes it, I'm afraid that the girl won't like it, and if the official asks for the money back, then it won't be done." ”

Wei Rui thought about it, and took out a few pieces of broken silver from her sleeve, she handed it to her mother-in-law and said: "You have worked hard, you keep this money, I will never ask for it back, but please cook more carefully in the future, I don't know how long I will be trapped, if there is no good food when I am trapped, then I will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

The woman looked at the broken silver in Wei Rui's palm, hesitated for a moment and said: "That's natural, since the girl gave me the silver, then I must serve the girl well, no matter where it is, in the village or in the courtyard, although the girl tells me what she wants to eat, I will definitely do it." ”

Wei Rui smiled and said, "Thank you very much." I'm fine here, you go down, you and I will finish eating, you can clean up. ”

The woman responded again and again, and walked out of the house briskly, and it could be seen that she was quite satisfied with the errand of cooking for Wei Rui.

After the old woman left, Wei Rui didn't seem to have any appetite, she put down her chopsticks and thought carefully about what the old woman said.

According to what the old woman said, she may have to live in the big courtyard for a long time, and in the next few days, I am afraid that the only person she can know around her may be this old woman. Therefore, Wei Rui thought that he would first have a good relationship with this mother-in-law, whether it was to give money or other ways, after all, in the days to come, the only way to know the outside news was through this old woman.

However, this old woman seems to be honest and honest, and she should not be a person who can cheat, and she has no city government, so she is a very cooperative person.

Jing Xing only came back in the afternoon, and seeing that Wei Rui didn't seem to be in a bad mood, he said a few words to her, and Wei Rui responded to him without a match, and the atmosphere between the two was not very good.

Just thinking that they would be able to return to the capital tomorrow, the two of them didn't seem to be thinking about solving the situation.

On the way back to the capital, Wei Rui and Jing Xing walked separately, and when they were about to arrive in the capital, Wei Rui's carriage stopped. At this time, Jingxing got into the car and told her: "You must be careful alone, if you have any needs, just tell that mother-in-law, she will listen to you." In addition, although the big annex is a bit big, it is not a particularly desolate place, and the courtyard is basically guarded by servants, which is similar to the courtyard where you and I got along at that time, so don't be too afraid. ”

Wei Rui looked at Jing Xing's worried expression, and knew that his feelings for him must not be fake, but Jing Xing's decision had never been discussed with her from beginning to end, and she still didn't know what kind of decision Jing Xing had made and what kind of things he was going to do. Now, putting her alone in the Great Annex, it is obvious that she wants to be excluded from the matter, but Wei Rui does not approve of this approach, she doesn't want to drag Jingxing down, but she doesn't want to stay out of the matter.

Seeing that Wei Rui didn't speak, Jing Xing thought she was still angry, hesitated, reached out and touched her face, as if she was reluctant. But Wei Rui still didn't look at him in the end, and Jing Xing still turned around and planned to leave. Seeing that he was leaving, Wei Rui suddenly called his name anxiously, and reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Jing Xing turned her head to look at her, the two of them looked at each other for a long time, Wei Rui's eyes were red, but she didn't know what to say, and in the end she only said: "Take care, I'll wait for you to come to me." ”

This sentence made Jing Xing feel at ease.

Jing Xing's back went farther and farther until he finally disappeared. Wei Rui finally put away the curtain on the carriage and sat in the carriage obediently.

But the carriage didn't move for a long time, Wei Rui was a little curious, so she opened the curtain to look, but found that the people next to the carriage, except for the mother-in-law, the others had changed, and they were all looks she didn't recognize.

Wei Rui asked the mother-in-law, "Why did you change people?" ”

The mother-in-law also seemed a little strange, shook her head and said, "I don't know about the mother-in-law, I don't know what's going on." But these ones look stronger, very powerful, and can protect the girl better. ”

Wei Rui naturally knew that these people were not here to protect her safety, but to guard herself, but at this time she couldn't say anything, so she could only pretend not to know.

Lowering the curtain, Wei Rui set off again, this time, she vaguely felt that the road seemed to have been going up, as if it was going to the mountain.

It's the mountains again, I'm afraid it's not so easy to escape.

Thinking like this, it didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and Wei Rui was taken off the carriage and looked around for a week, and before he could take a closer look, he was dragged into the annex.

But as soon as he entered, Wei Rui was stunned, this annex, as Jing Xing said, was exactly the same as the one in Minglang County!
