Chapter 149: Turning Direction
"Brother Ruo, why did you enter the palace, or in this way?" Kang Yufei tugged at the square scarf he hung around his neck to cover his face.
Du Ruo followed her and said casually, "There is an extremely important matter that Master Hou wants us to do." ”
Is it important enough for Du Ruo to ignore the third brother's serious injury? Kang Yufei immediately straightened up and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"There is a sword, a cyan scabbard, a pale cyan hilt, the style is simple and ordinary, and there is no decoration......"
When Kang Yufei heard this, there were only four words in her mind, "Blood Book Iron Edict", her heart was beating rapidly, but she didn't dare to speak, for fear of missing a word.
"Master Hou asked us to find this sword no matter what, and bring it to him."
Kang Yufei took a deep breath and stabilized his heartbeat before asking, "Why?" My dad told you why he was looking for this sword. ”
Du Ruo shook his head, "I didn't have time to elaborate, Sanshao also said that this sword is very important." He paused and smiled faintly, "We do things according to orders, and we rarely ask why. ”
Naturally, I didn't dare to say in detail, how important the blood book iron edict was, if a little wind leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"So, Brother Ruo, what are you going to do?"
"Sanshao said that the sword was packed with other weapons, but he didn't know where to transport it. Master Qu also arranged for people to find him, and I and Yecheng and a few of them were in the capital. ”
"Do you think it will be in Qiansheng Palace?"
"Just try your luck." Du Ruo smiled reluctantly.
If you enter the palace and enter the internal affairs office, as usual, the list of items will be given to the emperor, and some of them will probably be sent to the Qiansheng Palace if they enter the emperor's eyes, Du Ruo is not wrong if they think so.
It's just that the sword is really mediocre.
On the day of the accident, my father happened to take it out of the secret compartment in his room and put it on the weapon rack in his study to wipe it clean. In Dad's study, there are many weapons, and they are all rare boutiques, and this thing is really not eye-catching when placed in it.
I just heard that the third brother meant to see it enter the weapon box with his own eyes, so he must have not received any preferential treatment, and once it was registered in the warehouse, it would definitely not attract attention.
Thinking about it this way, even in this palace, it may be lying peacefully in the treasury.
Kang Yufei breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the distance, the white of the fish's belly gradually revealed, and the sun was about to rise.
"Brother Ruo, you go quickly, I also know this sword, I will find an opportunity to find it."
"You? Aren't you going to go out? Du Ruo seemed surprised by Kang Yufei's words.
Kang Yufei lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Du Ruo's eyes, "When I find the sword, I'm trying to find a way to get out." Now that I have someone else's name, it is more convenient to walk in the palace. ”
But her somewhat hurried demeanor was still noticed by Du Ruo that something was wrong, and he wanted to ask the reason.
"Brother Ruo, you have to get out quickly, it's about to dawn." Kang Yufei didn't give him a chance to ask.
Du Ruo flew off the roof, and Kang Yufei followed.
"Then, find a chance to meet again, you ......"
Du Ruo wanted to ask a few more words, but was urged by Kang Yufei, "Let's go, you look for Yumin, and I will have a message to be delivered." ”
Du Ruo moved his mouth, but in the end, many of the things he wanted to say were still not said after all. The dawn of the sky has appeared, and there is no longer time to delay, although he is apprehensive, Du Ruo still runs towards the gate of the palace, not daring to turn back.
Kang Yufei cleaned up her mood and quickened her pace to walk towards the Hundred Gardens. The morning was cold, the ice did not melt, the pace was fast, and if I was not careful, I stumbled two steps under my feet and almost fell. She steadied herself and slowed her pace.
"That...... Girl, girl......"
After the sound someone called her, Kang Yufei stood still, and when she looked back, this person was dressed in a eunuch suit, and she was squatting on the ground to pick up something at the moment, she turned around and walked back to this person.
Seeing him pick up a jade pendant and hand it over, Kang Yufei stared at the jade pendant, there was a vague word "north" on it, she quickly reached out and grabbed it and held it in the palm of her hand, "This is mine, thank you." ”
She smiled at the face, but was greeted by a terrible face, and the traces of fire on one cheek were as terrifying as a ghost. She was unprepared, and was shocked by the face and took a half step back.
"Yes, I'm sorry." The man felt guilty and hurriedly turned his head sideways, the other cheek was intact, the eyebrows were resolute, the bridge of the nose was high, and he had a different countenance.
On one side is the quagmire abyss, and on the other side is the breeze and bright moon, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Kang Yufei would have found it hard to believe that such two different cheeks would grow on the same person's face.
She took a step forward, took the man's hand, and softened her smile, "It's that I'm sorry, I didn't see it clearly, it's not mine." ”
This jade pendant, she thought it was Du Ruo who fell down, but when she touched it in her hand just now, it was not the word "north", but the broken lines of the jade pendant.
The man shrank his hand, not daring to turn his head to look at her, just looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and asked blankly, "Isn't it really yours?" ”
"This little brother laughed, how can there be anything you don't recognize, it's really not mine."
"Then hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." He said it as if he was saying it to her, and it was like he was talking to himself.
When Kang Yufei heard the words "Internal Affairs Office", he suddenly had other thoughts, "Then this little brother, leave this thing to me, I have to hand it over in the afternoon." She saw that his face changed slightly, and quickly explained, "This is close to our hundred gardens, I'll take it back first and ask who in our garden may have dropped it." ”
The man smiled lightly, but still didn't turn his head, "The girl is going to take it out and ask, I'm afraid that I can ask a lot of lost owners." ”
"Oh, that's right." Seeing that his hand was retracted, and he was about to put the jade pendant in his pocket, she hurriedly said, "I don't know where the little brother is on an errand, this thing looks worth some money, so I hurriedly hand it over, don't be discredited." ”
The man turned his guilty and panicked look just now, and suddenly laughed, "Ha, the girl is thoughtful, but the color of this thing is not transparent, and it is really not worth much." ”
Kang Yufei saw that if he didn't want to come to this thing, it was not good to force it, so he smiled dryly, "Then it will bother the little brother." ”
She bowed slightly, and was just about to turn around and leave, when she heard this person suddenly say, "Shen Mo, Shen Mo." ”
She paused, thinking that this person had told her name, and she turned around again, "Baihuayuan, Zhao Jie." Looking up, he just looked at Shen Mo's face, smiling, delicate and hearty on the one hand, and terrifying on the other. But she wasn't afraid, she'd seen more horrible and bloody appearances, but it wasn't enough. She smiled like a spring breeze.
When she returned to Baihuayuan, everyone was already busy just now, and no one seemed to care about her existence.
She simply stuffed a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, then looked for Hongxia's figure and followed to help.
A few days ago, the pink, yellow, and purple flowers were painted white, and today, the white flowers have to be painted into other bright colors.
Hongxia caught a glimpse of Kang Yufei's unhappy expression, and hurriedly stabbed her, "I'm in a hurry to get the throne ceremony tomorrow, but I can't be lazy, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after today." ”
Kang Yufei pressed down her pouting mouth and got busy with her hands carefully. This life was quite boring, and it didn't take long for her mouth to open again, "Sister Hongxia......"
"Don't talk, be careful that your aunt punishes you."
"No, I don't talk about that." Kang Yufei's hands didn't stop, he didn't even turn his head, he just turned his body slightly towards Hongxia, "Shen Xi, Shen Mo, do you know?" ”
