Chapter 8: Drunken 1
After sitting down, Wu Niang thought about it and said: "For such a big thing, it is difficult to have an impermeable wall." The general told me about your poisoning, but I don't know how the general knew about it. Last night there was an Assassin in our house, and I don't know what the Assassin wanted, the general said that he had just seen the Assassin, and I arrived, but the Assassin was very good, and in the blink of an eye, the Lady was gone. The elite of the General's Mansion immediately chased him out, but no trace of him was found. ”
Chu Tian feigned surprise: "Assassin? Is the general okay? Thinking about it in my heart, I probably couldn't ask for any useful news, not to mention that she was accompanied by two maids, and it was inconvenient to break it up.
Wu Niang shook her head: "He's fine." Wu Niang noticed Chu Tian's gaze at the maid, and immediately said, "Oh, that's right." This is the lotus seed clear lotus root mung bean soup I sent to bring and the bitter lotus pumpkin cake, both of which can clear the poisonous gas. ”
As she spoke, Wu Niang took the porcelain pot from the maid and put it on the table, then took the box and gently opened it.
Chu Tian looked at Wu Niang's hand, which was indeed slightly rough, and the cocoon in the palm of his hand was faintly visible, and he immediately said, "Thank you." I haven't been to your mansion for a long time to listen to the play, and I'm almost bored when I stay in the Seven Princes' mansion, when can I be invited? Chu Qian wanted to have the opportunity to go to Cixiao Mansion again to investigate the situation.
Wu Niang's face was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it can't be done recently." Last night's assassination made the general very angry, and the entire Xiao Mansion is now full of soldiers. The general felt that there were assassins in the mansion, which was due to the negligence of the general's defense, and suspected that there were traitors in the mansion. Ordered me not to associate with the troupe again. ”
It is also expected, if it is true, the General's Mansion will not be able to go now. Chu Qian said: "That sister should also be more careful in the next few days. By the way, I heard the Seventh Prince say that the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the completion of the Suzaku Tower, and my sister is going? "Chu Tian was asking General Xiao if he was going.
"Yes. I was going, and the general asked me to prepare a congratulatory gift, but I forgot about it. Saying that, Wu Niang hurriedly stood up: "Then I won't disturb my sister, and I'll talk about family affairs tomorrow." ”
Chu poured his eyes and sent Wu Niang away. Looking back at the soup and pastries on the table, he said to himself: "Mrs. Xiao is kind to Qingyue. ”
=====
At night, a cool breeze rises. Chu Tian ascended the Shenyue Tower, the tallest building in the Seven Princes' Mansion.
The Seven Princes' Mansion is also called the Xiwang Mansion, and the Seven Princes are young and promising, and their military achievements are impressive. He was the first prince to be crowned a prince among the princes. Shenyue Tower was built after he was crowned prince, and it is the Moon Tower, and it is also the Wangyuan Tower.
As the night wore on, the lights faded, and there was no one on the street, except for the occasional ghost. Chu Tian looked at the night in this world, and didn't know what kind of emotions he should have.
It's been thousands of years. At first, every life and death made her feel painful, like a sword piercing her heart. At first, whenever she had the opportunity, she wanted to ask Meng Po why it was her and why she had to go through these pains over and over again.
But everything was useless, and Meng Po would never answer her questions when she asked. If she doesn't complete the task, she will be sunk into Lethe, unable to move, unable to speak, until she figures it out.
She thought that she would not complete the task and would definitely cut herself off early. But I hope that this thing is really the most beautiful thing in the world, and it is also the most terrible thing in the world. It guides people's beliefs and obsessions. Chu Tian counted the tasks he completed one by one, and he actually persevered like this.
It turns out that a thousand years are just a flick of a finger. But she really lived enough for such a thousand years.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of the tiles directly above his head knocking, Chu Tian was stunned, and instantly stepped on the railing and jumped up.
On the roof, the figure of a young man, dressed in a gray brocade coat and a snow fox fur cloak, fell lightly on the tiles like a cloud. As the wind rose and fell, a strand of hair skimmed over his slightly drunken eyes. Chu tilted down, met the stars in his eyes, and missed another beat in his heart.
Yes, he held a pot of wine in his hand, poured a pot of wine on the side, and stood with a pot of wine. The sound must have come from the poured flask.
Chu Tian is really powerless against Qingyue's body, and often if he is not careful, he will miss a beat in his heart when he sees Zhixi. Now Chu Tian stood on the roof awkwardly, calming down his beating little heart, wondering how to explain that he could fly up casually.
"Oh, princess? The Qingyue I know doesn't know martial arts at all. Zhixi smiled lightly.
Chu Tian looked at him, the moonlight sprinkled on Zhixi's angular face, she had never seen a man with such a good-looking smile, and she lost her mind for a moment. Immediately, he sighed in his heart that he had lived in vain for a thousand years.
Zhixi stared at her with a tilted head, undisguised the drunkenness in his eyes. Chu Tian stammered slightly: "Anyway, you have to learn some work secretly, so it's better to defend yourself." ”
"Send someone to follow you, saying that you have done a good job, and you will be gone in the blink of an eye, and you can't chase after you." Zhixi took a sip of wine, and exhaled a cold breath between his thin lips.
Chu Tian was a little flustered, but Zhixi didn't exude a terrifying aura around his body, even if he said something that could attack people, it sounded like gossip. She walked over and sat down beside Zhixi. In itself, what she wanted didn't conflict at all with what he might want, so there was nothing to hide.
Chu Tian asked, "Why did you send someone to follow me?" ”
Zhixi looked at Liang Yue, and his tone was still light: "What do you think?" ”
Chu said: "Because I am Qin Xiang's daughter, and Qin Xiang... Forget it, let's talk to you so. Before I married you, I was sincere, and I really admired you, and I didn't know that my father was the prince's person. But after marrying you, I saw through the red dust, forgot a lot of things, and understood a lot of things. As for my father's business, I only found out about it when I sneaked into the General's Mansion that night. I think you must have known about my dad for a long time, but what I said is true, believe it or not. Chu was honest with each other, and said a lot of things.
Zhixi suddenly smiled, and Chu Tian looked at him with wide eyes, a look of incomprehension. He smiled and said, "I believe it." It's just that you're completely different from what you've always been, and you find it funny. ”
Chu Tian glanced at his mouth and asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Zhixi smiled: "Before, you have never been so calm in front of me, and you have never spoken more than a few words. Nowadays, it is said that your father and the prince's party are so generous. ”
Chu was interested: "So, you knew about my father and the prince's party early on?" Isn't Xiao Wei openly and the prince's party, and my father is secret? ”
Zhixi sat up straight and did not answer. The drunkenness in his eyes was like a mist, as if he was cut off from the world.
Chu Tian retracted his gaze and pondered, although he was an outsider who didn't care about all this, but as far as Zhixi was concerned, his identity was the daughter of an enemy, and his behavior was strange, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, he didn't lock himself up for a long-term plan, he was already benevolent, how could he expect him to have a calm fellowship with himself.
