Chapter 149: Dark Moon Mansion Master
Nie Qingwan returned to Longyang Palace, had enough to eat and drink, and had nothing to do, so she wanted to see Nie Bei.
This is also an opportunity to enter the Nie family smoothly and meet the Nie family, but it seems too abrupt to go directly like this, so let's go to see Xie Youhan first, and take the opportunity to see Xie Youhan to go to see Nie Bei smoothly.
Xie Youhan is from Washington, and he is the commander of the Left Guard of the Royal Forest who is guarding her, something happened to him, and she should go back to take a look.
Nie Qingwan did it when she thought of it, and she didn't delay, first let Huandong go back to the courtyard to see if Wang Yunyao was awake, and then asked Huanxi to find Suihai and bring the trouble back.
After Huandong and Huanxi went separately, Nie Qingwan walked around the dormitory again and again, thinking about how to take the opportunity to negotiate with Xuanyuan Ling.
Before he could figure out a clue, he sent the trouble back with the sea first.
However, the commotion was not nested in that small basket, but in a small clay pot.
The clay pot is surrounded by holes, and the bottom is covered with a layer of water, and the noisy people are crawling around curiously there, looking in a good mood, and their long, slender and soft heads are piercing in and out of those chiseled holes, and they are having fun by themselves.
Nie Qingwan raised her eyebrows, and asked Suihai with a smile: "You changed the nest for it?" ”
Sui Hai smiled back: "The slave went to ask the eunuchs in the palace who are good at raising animals, and they gave the branch a trick, saying that such a ceramic chiseled jar is used to raise turtles, called a pottery turtle jar, and it is more comfortable to keep small things here." ”
Nie Qingwan sighed and said with a smile: "It's called noisy, don't call it wrong in the future." ”
Sui Hai was stunned for a moment, and glanced down at the little guy who was still sticking out his head and playing back and forth, and the thoughts in his heart were the same as his emperor master, and he felt that Concubine Wan really cared about this little guy enough, and named it!
Sui Hai smiled and said, "The slave knows." ”
Nie Qingwan walked out and glanced at the sky, at the end of July, the sun was still the same hot, the sky was cloudless, and the miles were golden, but it was already past the middle of summer, and the weather was not so hot when I got up early.
Nie Qingwan pointed to a small flower pavilion not far in front of the hall gate, and asked Suihai to put the pottery turtle pot in the grass at the flower pavilion.
Respond with the sea, and quickly let it go.
Put it away, he stood up straight, and said to Nie Qingwan who came over: "The slave is going to serve in the imperial study, so he won't wait for the mother." ”
Nie Qingwan said, "Go ahead." ”
Sui Hai leaned over her and hurried to the imperial study.
Huandong went back to the courtyard and knocked on the door of Wang Yunyao's house, Wang Yunyao didn't answer, Huandong thought that she was still sleeping, so he came back to Nie Qingwan to give revenge.
Nie Qingwan said: "Since she is still sleeping, I won't call her, let's go back to Washington and see Xie Youhan." ”
Huandong said: "Do you want to say it to the emperor?" ”
Nie Qingwan said, "No need. ”
Huandong sighed, although she didn't think it was appropriate, but it seemed that Niangniang didn't have the habit of reporting anything to the emperor, she was self-determined, so she didn't say anything anymore.
Before Huanxi came back, Nie Qingwan asked Huandong to prepare the carriage first.
Zhang Kan has actually been guarding the door, as well as the forbidden army, Zhang Kan and the forbidden army were there when he just came in with the sea.
At this time, hearing Nie Qingwan say that he wanted to go back to Washington to see Xie Youhan, and he didn't report to the emperor yet, Zhang Kan couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Nie Qingwan, but he didn't dare to say more, so he secretly gave a look to a forbidden army beside him and asked him to inform the emperor.
The forbidden army understood, quietly left, went to the imperial study, and reported the matter to Yin Xuan.
Nie Qingwan turned her back to them and didn't see the forbidden army leave.
When Huanxi came back, he was originally going to tell Nie Qingwan that he was looking for a circle, but he didn't see Suihai, but as a result, he saw the commotion of crawling in the flowers and grass at a glance.
Huanxi asked, "Father-in-law Suihai has already returned?" ”
Nie Qingwan said, "Hmm. ”
Huanxi raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Huanxi came back, and after Huandong also prepared the carriage, Nie Qingwan called a few palace maids to come over and let them watch the trouble, but didn't let them disturb the noisy play, just watch it, so as not to have fun and run without a shadow.
When the palace maids heard this, they immediately went to serve the little things cautiously.
Nie Qingwan entered the house, changed his clothes, and then called Zhang Kan to drive the horse, Zhang Kan did not shirk, leaving the forbidden army, he drove the carriage alone, and returned to Washington with Nie Qingwan.
There was Zhang Kan, the commander of the forbidden army, who drove the carriage, and the palace people naturally did not dare to stop it, not to mention that the carriage was still sitting in the concubine Wan Gui, who favored the harem, they let it go without asking.
The carriage drove all the way to Washington, and now it is three o'clock in the morning, there is no one in Washington, Yuan Boxi and Huazhou have not returned, Xie Baocheng has not returned, and Huatu has not returned.
Nie Bei was assassinated last night, and now he is bedridden, everything in the Criminal Department has fallen on Huatu, Bolu is the person who follows Nie Bei, Bolu knows everything, and now Bolu is also injured, and if he is not there, Huatu is a little anxious, but fortunately, there is still a Gong Yongqin in the Criminal Department.
The two discussed it a little and decided to buy some gifts to see Nie Bei first.
It's just that before he set off, someone from the palace came and announced the two of them to the imperial study.
At this time, Huatu was not at home, and the house was very deserted.
Nie Qingwan got out of the carriage, Huandong and Huanxi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a long time, Yan Yi was late enough to open the door, and when he saw Nie Qingwan standing at the door, he hurriedly shouted: "County Lord!" ”
Nie Qingwan said, "I'll come to see Xie Youhan." ”
Yan Yi hurriedly got out of the way and let Nie Qingwan in.
After Nie Qingwan came in, Huandong and Huanxi also followed, Zhang Kan drove the carriage into the mansion and handed it to Yan Yi, and also followed Nie Qingwan to see Xie Youhan.
But Nie Qingwan didn't let Zhang Kan follow, let him stay in the carriage and wait for her to come back.
Zhang Kan opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Nie Qingwan didn't give him a chance to speak, so he turned around and left.
Zhang Kan saw that Nie Qingwan was gone, so he had to return to the carriage, squatting with his arms and legs, waiting.
Yan Yi also had to keep up, and was sent by Nie Qingwan to busy himself.
Nie Qingwan took Huandong and Huanxi to Zhufeng Courtyard.
Xie Youhan was lying on the bed, Wang Yunzhi was sitting on the side of the bed, Zhu Yinan had already come over to feed Xie Youhan with medicine, and he had also taken the pulse, changed the gauze, and changed the medicine, and he was busy with the medicine at noon at this time.
Wang Yunzhi's face was not very good, but his mood was still good.
The reason why Wang Yunzhi was separated from Xie Youhan yesterday was because he unexpectedly saw Yuan Lingyue in the West Market of the Great Yin Empire, and Wang Yunzhi had to express surprise when he could see Yuan Lingyue here, so Wang Yunzhi left Xie Youhan lightly.
And the consequences of this abandonment actually hurt Xie Youhan and almost died!
Wang Yunzhi thought that if he hadn't left Xie Youhan and returned home with him, there would never be such a thing.
Wang Yunzhi blamed himself.
And seeing that Xie Youhan was so badly injured, and heard about last night's incident from Xie Youhan's mouth, and then thought of Yuan Lingyue's sudden appearance last night, Wang Yunzhi knew who did it.
Others don't know Yuan Lingyue and don't know what Yuan Lingyue does, but Wang Yunzhi knows it very well.
Yuan Lingyue is in charge of the Dark Moon Building, the second top position in the assassination world on the rivers and lakes, specializing in the business of killing, the people in the rivers and lakes never deal with the imperial power, but the murder does not distinguish between rich and poor.
The reason why Dark Moon Tower can be born out of thin air and sit firmly in the second place in the assassination world is because Dark Moon Tower dares to take any business.
Itself, behind Yuan Lingyue, is also powerful, the Yuan family, who is in charge of more than half of the military strength of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, is not someone who wants to move, and Yuan Lingyue is married to the third prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, this reputation is not comparable to anyone, power and prestige, but it makes Yuan Lingyue more and more bold, and even the children of the Nie family of the Great Yin Empire dare to kill.
The Nie clan has a god-like queen mother, and Yuan Lingyue doesn't know that the person who moved the Nie clan is provoking the gods?
Yes, Dayin's Queen Mother is dead, but Dayin's Nie family has not fallen.
Wang Yunzhi was angry and annoyed, Qi Yuan Lingyue was too bold, and he was also angry that she took business indiscriminately, annoyed that her killer hurt Xie Youhan, but after knowing that the killer was beheaded by Chen Wen, he felt sorry for Yuan Lingyue again.
Wang Yunzhi knew that the killers of the Dark Moon Tower were all loyal servants of Yuan Lingyue, and many of them were people she rescued from chivalry, so those people were so loyal to her, and some of them were veterans from the old department of the Yuan family, and they were the people who served Yuan Lingyue, and they were not only killers to Yuan Lingyue, but also relatives.
Now that the killer is dead, it is tantamount to the death of a relative, and it is strange that Yuan Lingyue is not sad.
But now Wang Yunzhi can't control Yuan Lingyue, Xie You's cold injury is too serious, fortunately, there is still Zhu Yinan, the royal family doctor in the house, and he is not afraid that Xie Youhan's treatment will not be timely.
But even if there is Zhu Yinan, Wang Yunzhi is not at ease to leave.
On the night Wang Yunzhi came back last night, he and Yuan Lingyue were sitting in a small wine shop under the moon to drink and catch up, but Yuan Lingyue suddenly seemed to have received some kind of information, his face changed suddenly, he put the wine glass aside, stood up, and left immediately before he had time to speak.
Wang Yunzhi was a little melancholy, so he sat alone for a while, drank more wine, got drunk and fell asleep on his stomach for a while, until the shopkeeper called him, he didn't wake up.
At that time, it was almost time, Wang Yunzhi rubbed his forehead, rubbed his brows, put down the wine money, and went home.
When he returned to the house, he fell asleep, and when he got up, he heard that Xie Youhan was seriously injured, and heard that Wang Yunyao was also there at the time, so he hurried to see Wang Yunyao and found that Wang Yunyao had returned to the palace, so Wang Yunzhi had to come to see Xie Youhan first.
When Nie Qingwan came, Wang Yunzhi was still sitting on the edge of the bed, Xie Youhan's face, arms, and even legs were wrapped with gauze, but because his arms and legs were blocked by clothes, he couldn't see the tragic situation inside, only half of his face was swollen and covered with a layer of gauze, and there should be medicine under the gauze, and it was pitch black.
Because of this medicine, Xie Youhan lay there and didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to speak, only his eyes were closed, and he closed the sullenness and regret churning in his heart.
He should have listened to the words of the county lord and learned martial arts from Chen Wen, if he had learned martial arts from Chen Wen, he would definitely not have suffered a great shame last night!
Xie Youhan took a sharp breath, and his hands resting under the quilt clenched silently.
was entangled and depressed, Nie Qingwan came, and Xie Youhan opened his eyes suddenly.
Nie Qingwan stood beside the bed, looking at him from top to bottom, and seeing that his face was swollen and unpresentable, she first sighed slightly, and then motioned to Wang Yunzhi to get out of the way.
Wang Yunzhi pursed his lips, got out of the way, and let her sit.
After Nie Qingwan sat down, she reached out and touched the gauze on Xie Youhan's left face, and felt the thick ointment, she didn't worry, but joked very emotionally: "If this can't be cured, shouldn't it be disfigured?" Originally, I asked you to learn martial arts from Chen Wen, but you don't want to learn, now it's okay, you really deserve to be beaten like this, if you listen to me earlier, can you be beaten so badly? ”
Xie Youhan couldn't speak, because as soon as he spoke, the muscles of his face would be pulled, and the muscle pulling would make the gauze and ointment slide with him.
But when he heard Nie Qingwan's words, he was really uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but open his mouth, and said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "I'm hurt like this, you don't say something to care about it, and you are so sarcastic about me." ”
Nie Qingwan smiled: "If I don't tease you, you don't know the pain, you don't know the pain, how can you make up your mind and make up your mind?" ”
Xie Youhan pursed the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes turned around her face, and said, "I will be obedient this time." ”
Nie Qingwan nodded, and reached out to re-smooth out the gauze on the left side of his face that was a little crumpled by his words.
The fragrant fingertips touched his face, although it was separated by a layer of gauze, it still made Xie Youhan obsessed, his heart speed increased, he smiled in his eyes, and asked her, "Your injuries are healed?" ”
As soon as he spoke, the gauze on his face wrinkled together again, Nie Qingwan had just flattened him, and now she was going to pull it again, she glared at him: "Don't speak." ”
Xie Youhan wanted to speak, and he was smiling, as soon as he saw her, he didn't feel any pain all over his body, and he asked persistently: "Have you recovered from your injury?" ”
Nie Qingwan was helpless, knowing that if he didn't answer, he would ask endlessly, so he lightly opened his lips and said, "It's done, the scab has fallen off, use some scar removal cream later, and you won't be able to see the scars." ”
When Xie Youhan heard this, he finally nodded with reassurance, the thrilling scene of her being shot by an arrow that day seemed to fade from his heart, although every time he thought of that scene, his heart would still clench, but she had recovered from her injuries, and she was now intact, so he was really relieved.
Xie Youhan asked: "Did you come back because you recovered from your injuries, or did you come back after hearing about last night's incident?" ”
Nie Qingwan patiently rubbed the gauze on his face and said, "After hearing about last night, the emperor is coming back to preside over the court meeting, so I am also back." ”
Xie Youhan looked at her and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, these injuries look serious, they are actually very easy to raise, just raise them for a few days." ”
Before Nie Qingwan could respond, Wang Yunzhi, who was squeezed away by Nie Qingwan next to her, quipped: "Heh, someone didn't say that just now, and Zhu Yinan didn't say that, Zhu Yinan said that you injured three ribs, two shoulder bones, and your face bones seem to be injured, if you raise them carefully, you have to raise them for half a year, and if you raise them extensively, you have to raise them for at least three months, and then you can use martial arts like a normal martial arts practitioner, even if the bones are fixed and returned to their places within a month, and if you raise them, you can only move around normally, but you can't use martial arts, did I hear me wrong?" ”
Xie Youhan was choked, glared at Wang Yunzhi angrily, and said to Nie Qingwan: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I know my own injuries." ”
Nie Qingwan gently pressed his mouth with his fingers, Xie Youhan was stunned for a moment, the roots of his ears were red, he looked at her without blinking, and his eyes gradually became soft.
Nie Qingwan took her hand away and said, "Take care of it, I'll come back to see you when I have time, you almost died in order to save Nie Bei, this great kindness, I will always remember it." ”
Xie Youhan lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "The situation at that time, no matter who encountered it, would save Nie Bei, and besides, it has nothing to do with you if I save Nie Bei, what kind of favor do you have with me?" ”
What is the relationship between Nie Qingwan and Nie Bei, Xie Youhan didn't know, and Nie Qingwan wouldn't say it, so he said, "Well, don't talk anymore, take care of it." ”
Xie Youhan glanced at her twice and felt that she was a little strange, but when she came to see him, he was happy, so he nodded obediently and closed his eyes.
Nie Qingwan stood up, took out the silk handkerchief in her sleeve pocket and wiped her fingers, her fingers were sticky with ointment, she glanced at Wang Yunzhi while wiping, and then walked outside.
Wang Yunzhi glanced at Xie Youhan and followed Nie Qingwan out.
Huandong and Huanxi were also about to come out, but they were stopped by Nie Qingwan, and Nie Qingwan asked the two of them to wait in the house first, looking at Xie Youhan.
Huandong and Huanxi then stayed in the house.
Nie Qingwan and Wang Yunzhi walked to the courtyard, found a shady tree, and stood.
Before Nie Qingwan could open her mouth to ask, Wang Yunzhi took the lead in asking, "Why didn't Yun Yao come back with you?" I heard that she entered the palace. ”
Nie Qingwan said: "She didn't sleep last night, I saw that she was not in good spirits, so I let her go to sleep, and she didn't wake up when she left the palace, so I didn't call her." ”
Wang Yunzhi sighed and asked again, "Is Yun Yao injured?" I didn't see her when I came back today. ”
Nie Qingwan said: "I didn't see where she was injured, she herself said that she was not injured, but I heard her say that Xian Bi prescribed medicine to her, it should have been affected to some extent, it should not be serious, you don't have to worry, wait for her to wake up, let her come back, you show her." ”
Wang Yunzhi said yes, and Nie Qingwan asked him, "You weren't with Xie Youhan last night?" ”
Wang Yunzhi sighed slightly, his face showed self-blame again, although he didn't want to mention Yuan Lingyue, but he felt that there was nothing to hide from the county lord, so he told him that he had touched Yuan Lingyue halfway last night, and asked Xie Youhan to go back to the house first, so that Xie Youhan was so seriously injured.
After speaking, Nie Qingwan raised her eyebrows, and her tone was quite strange: "Yuan Lingyue? The surname is Yuan, is he a descendant of the Yuan clan of the Xuanyuan Dynasty? ”
Wang Yunzhi said softly: "Hmm." ”
Nie Qingwan asked, "Why did she suddenly come to the Great Yin Empire?" ”
Suddenly thinking of something, he said: "Oh, Xuanyuan Ling came to the Great Yin Empire, so she also came." ”
Wang Yunzhi was stunned: "Xuanyuan Ling also came to the Great Yin Empire?" ”
Nie Qingwan glanced at him and nodded, "Hmm." ”
The relationship between Wang Yunzhi and Yuan Lingyue and Xuanyuan Ling was unknown to Hua Beijiao, as the county lord, and Nie Qingwan, who was the queen mother, did not know.
Nie Qingwan didn't care what the relationship between them was, but she cared more about Wang Yunzhi's tone when he mentioned Yuan Lingyue, especially when he talked about Xie Youhan's injury, there was a slight stiffness in that tone, and there was blame.
Nie Qingwan asked Wang Yunzhi: "Yuan Lingyue is not only a descendant of the Yuan Clan's martial arts, but also has another identity, right?" You have been wandering in the rivers and lakes before, and it stands to reason that you should not know the descendants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, but when you mention Yuan Lingyue, it seems that you have a deep feeling, and you can leave Xie Youhan's brother for such a woman, it can be seen that this woman and you not only have a deep relationship, but also have a deep friendship, then, this woman must also be mixed in the rivers and lakes, and so coincidentally came to the Great Yin Empire, probably related to last night's assassination, right? ”
Wang Yunzhi smiled bitterly, looked at Nie Qingwan with clear eyebrows, and said: "Since the county lord entered the harem of the Great Yin Empire, this brain is getting smarter and smarter, and he can catch up with the sixteen Yan judgments in Nie Bei, could it be that the palace of the Great Yin Empire is really the palace of the king of gods, nourished by the gods?" Otherwise, how can the county lord be reborn. ”
Nie Qingwan said in her heart that she had been reborn.
Nie Qingwan didn't respond to this sentence, but said quietly: "Don't divert the topic, is Yuan Lingyue related to last night's assassination?" ”
Wang Yunzhi's expression froze, silence gathered in his eyes, and his face sank slightly, he pondered for a long time, and still said Yuan Lingyue's second identity, that is, her identity in the rivers and lakes.
After Nie Qingwan heard this, she sighed in surprise, she couldn't be said to be shocked, she thought to herself, hey, this is really a coincidence, there are surprises everywhere in life, there are accidents all the time!
Chen Fumai murder and contacted one of the top assassination agencies in the rivers and lakes, and it happened that this assassination agency was in charge of Yuan Lingyue, and Yuan Lingyue was Xuanyuan Ling's wife.
Now Xuanyuan Ling has also come to the Great Yin Empire.
Yuan Lingyue's people hurt Nie Bei, and Xuanyuan Ling's people were detained by Nie Bei again, does this count as Yuan Lingyue helping Xuanyuan Ling breathe a sigh of relief without knowing it?
Chen Wen beheaded Yuan Lingyue's people and betrayed the sale agreement, then the Dark Moon Building would definitely not give up, even if he didn't settle accounts with Chen Mansion, he would definitely find Chen Wen to settle accounts, so Chen Wen would be mixed up with this Yuan Lingyue, or even with the entire Dark Moon Tower.
Nie Qingwan wants to talk about business with Xuanyuan Ling, it is inconvenient to come forward, and she is worried about the lack of a clear and honest connector.
Although Nie Bei was injured and all the affairs of the criminal department fell into the hands of Huatu, Nie Qingwan could let Huatu be the connector, but Huatu was too loyal to Yin Xuan, and Nie Qingwan could let Huatu contact Hua Zijun in order to mend the relationship between Hua's Imperial Gate and Hua's Medicine Gate, but he would not hand over such a matter as the death of the Empress Dowager to Huatu, so it was none other than Chen Wen's decision.
And Chen Wen beheaded him, probably a sheep into the mouth of a tiger and appeared in prison.
Well, it should be regarded as a punishment for Chen Wen for beheading Nie Bei's first army.
Nie Qingwan laughed, thinking that this matter was really getting more and more mysterious.
Nie Qingwan said: "When you have time, you call this Yuan girl to come out and get together, she is not only your friend, but also hurt Xie Youhan, so you have to go to the mansion to compensate for it." ”
Wang Yunzhi said: "Well, I will look for her." ”
Nie Qingwan said: "Wait for someone to come to Washington, and send someone to inform me, I also want to meet this Yuan girl, who can marry Xuanyuan Ling, and was born after the Yuan family's Jiangmen, and is so prosperous in the rivers and lakes, this girl must be very good, just hearing such a reputation, I really want to see it, not to mention, she is so bold, dare to get involved in the fight between the two powerful ministers of the Great Yin Empire, and send a killer to assassinate Nie Bei." ”
Wang Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Dark Moon Tower is an assassination agency on the rivers and lakes, only talking about the rules of the rivers and lakes, if someone gives money, they will contribute, this has nothing to do with whether it is mixed or not, it's just business, you don't want to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Nie Qingwan interrupted him with a smile: "You like her?" ”
Wang Yunzhi choked and didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
He basically didn't tell his family about his affairs on the rivers and lakes, and Wang Yunyao didn't know about it, let alone the county lord.
Nie Qingwan saw that he shouldn't, and he knew that he liked Yuan Lingyue, and he was anxious to exonerate Yuan Lingyue, it was completely like protecting the calf, not liking, but liking it very much.
Nie Qingwan said: "Love is love, things are things, you have to treat them separately, of course, I don't want to see her to embarrass her, it's just pure admiration, don't be nervous." ”
Wang Yunzhi glanced at her resentfully and said, "The county lord did it on purpose, right?" ”
deliberately tricked his words, deliberately tricked his feelings.
Nie Qingwan smiled: "Don't worry, I won't say that you like Yuan Lingyue, after all, she is the third princess of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and now the third prince is also here, knowing that you covet other people's princesses, I don't know what the third prince will do, I don't want to see the two countries fighting each other because of you." ”
Wang Yunzhi teased: "The Xuanyuan Dynasty can't beat the Great Yin Empire. ”
Nie Qingwan said: "You can't beat it, but Xuanyuan Ling may be able to beat you." ”
When Wang Yunzhi heard this, he calmly said nothing, he thought with some displeasure, he really beat it.
Nie Qingwan saw that Wang Yunzhi looked ugly and didn't speak, knowing that she had guessed correctly again, she smiled, no matter what happened to the relationship between Wang Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Ling and Yuan Lingyue, she just had to see this Yuan Lingyue, and the rest didn't matter.
