Chapter 18: Up the Mountain

"yes, I don't know when it will stop?"

Ning Yi turned the page of the book in his hand and coughed twice: "Today's courtyard in Fujin is still like that?" ”

Qiu Lu sat on the stool next to the table and picked up the handkerchief embroidered in the sewing basket with only half a butterfly left: "But isn't it, now the main courtyard is panicked, it has been ten days, and Fujin has tried many people in the courtyard, and there is no news, but many people have eaten the board, and I heard that there are also deaths." ”

"Human life?" Ning Yi straightened up slightly, and a cool breeze got into the quilt, causing her to cough twice, "What life?" ”

Qiu Lu stepped forward and tucked her quilt back again, "The day before yesterday, when Fu Jin interrogated a laughing girl who was serving next to the little brother, he used the torture, and I heard her in the same room this morning that the little girl died last night. ”

Ning Yi frowned: "The fourth sister-in-law made too much trouble this time. ”

Ning Yi also has some understanding of Zaifeng's lack of action these days, he not only pities the little brother, but also holds the expectation that this matter is done by the women in the backyard who are jealous, so he turns a blind eye to Fujin's actions in the inner courtyard these days, but now there is a death........

Ning Yi thought that the palace should soon return to its previous calm.

Sure enough, when Qiu Lu came with food in the evening, she also came back with a message.

The prince went back to the house today and came into the courtyard of Fujin, and he didn't know what was going on, and the husband and wife quarreled, and many people didn't look good when they saw the prince go out.

"That's the end of it." Ning Yi was also relieved, she was also uncomfortable with the trembling atmosphere in the house these days.

In the study, Zaifeng put down the music and frowned and looked at the person in front of him: "Is there something going on in the house again?" ”

The subordinate said: "Fu Jin said that the little brother has had many disasters recently, and he wants to go to the temple for two days to go to the disaster. ”

"What does she want to do?" Zaifeng's face was not good, "Wuge took him to the temple at such a young age, and it was rainy these days, so I couldn't go out in a hurry." ”

"Fu Jin said that since the little brother was born, the grandmother has been praying in the temple for blessings, and now that the little brother has been born for so long, he should go to see his grandmother." The subordinate lowered his head and did not dare to look at his master's face.

"It's just nonsense!" Zaifeng slapped the music in his hand on the table, "How old is Wuge, meet grandmother?" That's a nice thing to say, you go back and tell her to let her stay in the house. ”

"Fu Jin also said...

Zaifeng raised his eyes: "What else did she say?" ”

"Fu Jin said that she went to the temple for the good of her brother, and she was more at ease in the temple than in the palace."

Zaifeng sat on the chair, and her heart was also uncomfortable, she really blamed herself for not protecting her son, and the previous toughness disappeared, but let their mother and son go to the mountain, but he was not at ease, he had not found out the identity of the person behind the scenes, if something happened outside, he would not be able to whip him.

When Ning Yi came, he just heard the last sentence.

"Fourth brother." Ning Yi entered the door, and when she saw his face that had lost a lot of weight, her heart rose and she felt distressed, and the fourth sister-in-law felt sorry for her son, but wasn't the fourth brother uncomfortable?

"If the fourth brother is not at ease, it is better for me to accompany the fourth sister-in-law to live in the temple for a few days, which can be regarded as a distraction." How can husband and wife have an overnight feud, both of them have pimples in their hearts, according to her, the fourth sister-in-law can figure it out after leaving for a while.

"I've heard people say, you're sick again these days, how can I let you go." Zaifeng didn't expect her to come in and directly mention this matter, waving her hand and disagreeing.

Ning Yi smiled: "It's just a small problem, my body has been useless since I was a child, and my brother doesn't know, maybe the Buddha will see me pitiful after staying in the temple for a few days, and the illness will be cured, and I also miss my mother, as a child, it's not filial piety to see me for so long, brother, don't you say?" ”

When Zaifeng saw her calling her brother, he knew that he couldn't get through this matter, and from childhood to adulthood, she only called her brother when she had something to ask for herself.

It hasn't changed over the years, but he also eats this set.

"Okay, but people need to bring a little more."

Fu Jin didn't say anything about Ning Yi going with him, but asked Lan Xin to send a fox fur cloak before setting off again.

"Fu Jin said, the mountain is not as good as the city, and it has been raining outside for a long time, and Gege's illness has not yet healed, so I specially ordered the slave maid to send it to you."

Ning Yi asked Qiu Lu to pick it up, and thought that her four sisters-in-law had such a special way of remembering it, and expressed her gratitude to Lan Xin, who was waiting outside the car.

Because the Guerjia clan and the Queen Mother didn't like these foreign things, and the Jietai Temple was on a mountain thirty miles away, and it was not suitable to take a car on the road, so they divided their group into three carriages and headed for the Jietai Temple.

Fu Jin took Little Brother and Lan Xin and a nurse to sit in the first largest carriage, Ning Yi and Qiu Lu sat in the second carriage, and the last most inconspicuous carriage was full of maids and grandmothers.

By the time the group came out of the tree, the rain had stopped, but it was still cloudy.

Ning Yi sat in the carriage as if her bones were about to fall apart, Qiu Lu felt distressed, and took a few more cushions to put behind her, and complained: "Gege, why do you bother to find guilt for yourself, you are not well yet, and you still follow Fujin to Jietai Temple, Fujin will not miss your good, and what is the use of you going." ”

Ning Yi put the direction of the book in her hand, coughed twice, and the carriage shook so much that she couldn't read the book: "My sister-in-law and my mother have always been unaccustomed to each other, if I don't go, I'm afraid that I will scatter my heart and scatter bigger problems." ”

Qiu Lu put away the book in her hand and looked at her pale face distressedly, "Gege, don't read, there will be an hour to get to the Jietai Temple, Gege should sleep for a while." ”

Ning Yi did feel a little sleepy listening to the raindrops dripping outside, nodded, leaned on the pillow, and squinted.

Qiu Lu just put on the fox fur cloak that Fu Jin sent just now.

Ning Yi's exposed little face was surrounded by flawless white fox skin, like a porcelain doll.

Qiu Lu saw that people were asleep, so she also relaxed her hands and feet and quietly stayed aside.

I don't know how long she slept, Ning Yi felt that the car had stopped, she opened her eyes, and there was still a hint of confusion: "Have you arrived?" ”

Qiu Lu saw that the person woke up, and immediately stepped forward to help the person up, "I just arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and the rain is heavy again, and our carriage is afraid that it will not be able to go up the mountain." ”

"What then?" Only then did Ning Yi notice that the sound of the rain outside was much louder.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage approached them.

Autumn Dew lifted the corner of the curtain and looked outside.

"Brother Guard, how are we going to go up the mountain?"
