Chapter 22: The Strings of the Warrior (11)

Almond helped Shen Feiming to the horse, she was now cold all over, trembling badly, her lips were flushed with dark blue, although the spring light in April was warm, but the spring water in April was absolutely freezing.

Coming out of the Qing Kite Pond, before the horse had taken a few steps, Almond heard Gu Peiqing's voice. "What's wrong with her?"

"Fifth Prince, Master Gu." Almond hurriedly saluted and replied in a crying voice: "I just met Zhang Tong'er, she slashed us with a sword, and Miss didn't pay attention when she was hiding and fell into the lake." ”

Without saying a word, Gu Peiqing stepped onto Shen Feiming's chestnut horse, his arms wrapped tightly around her, his hand covered her cold hand, and let her wet hair lean against his chest. "Feiming, we'll go back right away."

"Pei Qing," she said in a voice like a mosquito, reading his name, "It's so cold." ”

He hugged her tighter. Seeing her little huddle in his arms, he just wanted to change him to feel the biting cold.

Almond rode Gu Peiqing's white horse, his eyes didn't know where to go, it was not good to look at Shen Feiming and Gu Peiqing, and the five princes were too disrespectful to him, so he had to look at the two ears of the white horse and flick them around.

The fifth prince didn't have so many concerns, he looked at this scene in shock, and he also looked straight along the way, secretly feeling that this development was too fast, but last time Shen Feiming's heart-rending appearance, he could also feel that she was deeply affectionate to him, so he asked himself what it was like to like someone, but he didn't know.

When he arrived at the Shen Mansion, Lord Shen was still discussing matters in the palace, and the housekeeper Lao Xing was very anxious when he saw the second lady like this, and told the doctor in the house to take a look quickly. Lao Xing was about to help Miss get off the horse, Gu Peiqing hugged her first, Lao Xing hurriedly retracted his hand and led the way for Gu Peiqing. Entering Fei Ming's room, he gently laid her on the bed, as careful as he was afraid of breaking the treasure in his heart, his eyes were full of love and heartache.

The doctor prescribed her a few pairs of medicines, saying that it was fine, just keep warm and rest more, Almond drove Gu Peiqing and the fifth prince out of Feiming's room on the pretext of changing clothes. Lao Xing invited the two of them to the main hall to rest, and said that Prince Rui and Princess Rui would arrive soon, so he retreated.

The fifth prince looked Gu Pei Qing up and down again, and said, "Okay, Pei Qing, why are you so fast, how many people dream of the second miss of the Shen family." ”

"I don't like her because she's the second lady of the Shen family."

"Because of what?"

"Because she's her." Gu Peiqing shook off the fan and fanned it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.

The five princes didn't understand, so they took a sip of tea to hide their incomprehension. Prince Rui and Princess Rui walked in, Gu Peiqing hurriedly made a move, and the fifth prince shouted cheerfully: "Cousin, cousin-in-law." ”

"I just like our Xuandao, simple and energetic." Lord Rui patted him on the shoulder and continued: "I haven't seen him for two years, and my body has become a lot stronger." ”

"I can shoot a deer with a bow now."

"Yes, show me a hand during the autumn hunt."

"No problem, cousin, you have come back from this trip, will you stay in the city for so long?"

"yes, there's something to deal with."

"You keep talking, I'll go see Feiming." Shen Feiqing was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

After Shen Feiqing left, Lord Rui called a subordinate to go to King Rui's Mansion to bring the moon bow from Cangnan. As soon as the incense passed, the moon bow was sent to the five princes.

The three of them moved to the archery range in the Shen Mansion, and the five princes were full of joy, and they were trying with their bows. Rui Wang Ye and Gu Peiqing stood aside and watched him bend his bow and shoot arrows.

"Master Gu," Lord Rui lowered his voice, "How is the recent case investigated?" ”

Gu Peiqing looked at the side face of Lord Rui, it is rumored that he is the most beautiful man in the city, his side face has clear lines, his pupils are pure black, and he has a resolute appearance that cannot be explained. "The lower official is still investigating, and he has some slight eyebrows."

"Do you know why I'm concerned about this case?"

"Because this case may concern your princess."

"yes, I'm here to see who's behind it. If you find out the truth, please let me know. ”

"The villain must do his best."

"Cousin, you're really a good bow." The five princes were amazed and obviously couldn't put it down.

"Then I'll give it to you."

The fifth prince was obviously shocked by this sudden gift, "Is it really for me?" ”

Lord Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can't lie to you, you are my favorite fifth brother." ”

"You are also my most admired cousin!"

Shen Feiming fell into the fog, and heard someone calling her name lightly, so familiar.

"Feiming, this is a painting for you."

"Is it me who drew it? Not at all. ”

"I've practiced a lot of them, and this is the one I'm most satisfied with." It was a gentle voice.

"Come and see, the sunflower we planted together is blooming." Out of the mist, the pot of blooming sunflowers appeared, large and clustered together, bright and warm.

"Those stars are so beautiful." Fei Ming's head rested on someone's shoulder, looking at the endless starry sky, and the eternal stars blinked their eyes, as if looking back at them.

"Another fifty years? We're all old men and old ladies, but we're still able to bask in the sun together. Fei Ming didn't know whose hand he was taking, counting the veins of his fingers as he spoke.

"You're going to my house to propose? Tomorrow? She began to laugh infatuately, and then her forehead was covered with gentle lips.

Fei Ming opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was Fei Qing's flawless face.

"Sister, I had strange dreams."

"What dream?"

"All sorts of clips. It seems like it happened to me, but I don't remember it again. By the way, I remember that it seems that Gu Peiqing sent me back, but what about others? ”

"You've been asleep, Gu Gongzi just came to see you again, and you've already gone home." Shen Feiqing helped her tuck the quilt corners, Shen Feiqing helped her tuck the quilt corners, her expression was not as happy as when she woke up, and her face was helpless. "Are you eating now or continuing to fall asleep?"

"I'm just when I'm strong, why do I have to continue to lie down, hasn't my father come back yet?"

"No, then I'll ask Walnut to bring you something to eat."

"Where's the almonds?"

"She's going to see off Master Gu."

"Sister, you have something to hide from me."

"You think too much, sleep well, if only you didn't get into trouble outside. Worry about when you're going. ”

Almond sent Gu Peiqing to the door, but Gu Peiqing didn't step on the horse for a long time. Almond knew he had something to ask and honestly waited for him to speak.

"Did Fei Ming go to investigate the case by himself today?"

Almond felt that the question was difficult to answer, and simply fell silent. "It's Zhang Tong'er's name, and I can tell who wrote it at a glance." Almonds continue to pretend to be dumb.

"What kind of holiday does Feiming have with Zhang Tong'er?" Gu Peiqing changed the question. Almond thought about it with a sad face, this question is not easy to answer, it is better to play deaf and dumb to the end.

Gu Peiqing understood that she couldn't ask anything from Almond, she played a stone and stood in place. Gu Peiqing sighed and said, "You go, I'll go back." That sigh was like magic, turning the stone almond into a real person, she lowered her head, and said powerlessly, "Goodbye, Master Gu." ”

Gu Peiqing understood that he couldn't say anything from Almond, and he didn't know if the fifth prince knew the reason.

Gu Peiqing's courtyard door was being slapped wildly, Ah Ye hurriedly opened the door, and the happy face of the fifth prince appeared in front of Ah Ye's eyes. "Don't salute, don't salute," the fifth prince bypassed Ah Ye and walked into Gu Peiqing's room with a familiar car, and at this time he was reading a strange novel.

"Pei Qing, I think it's very strange, you obviously don't believe in ghosts and gods, why do you like to read this kind of strange novel."

"Because I know it's fake."

Although the fifth prince didn't understand, he pretended to know very well at this time, and said, "I see, aren't you going to investigate the case today?" ”

"Go, I finished chatting with the new owner of the herb shop yesterday, and I will go to Zheng Jixiang's house on West Third Street today. Let's go see Feiming again, I don't know if she's better. ”

Zheng Jixiang's wife and concubine happened to be at home, packing up their things, looking like they were about to leave the city, Zheng Jixiang's child was only two or three years old, sitting on the bed obediently, looking at the adults who were packing things with big eyes and not making a sound.

"Where are you going?" The five princes looked at the packed bags and saluted.

A woman raised her head and looked at the two of them, and found that they were strangers, and her tone was full of alertness: "Back to your hometown, what's the matter with the two of you?" My fruit shop has been sold, this house has also been sold, and there is nothing left to sell. ”

"Who did the fruit shop sell to?" Gu Peiqing squatted down and helped the two of them clean up together.

"I don't know, on the day Zheng Jixiang died, he took the title deed and left, saying that he sold it to a rich lady, but when he came back, something happened, and the gold was robbed by others, where can I reason."

"Which lady is it?"

"I don't know, he said that when he saw the young lady before, she was covered by a veil, but there were all kinds of golden hairpins and hostas on her head, and she was also wearing silk and satin, which was fragrant and sultry, although the maids around her looked old, but they were quick with their hands and feet, and they were much better than us."

"Where did they meet?"

"It seems that the first time was in the fruit shop, Zheng Jixiang didn't believe it at first, the rich lady invited him to the mirror lake cruise in order to prove that his family is rich, and he has been talking about seeing the world or something as soon as he comes back."

"It's really funny, I was deceived," the other woman was quite resentful, "what kind of rich lady is that, I secretly followed him to see it on the day he died, and the so-called rich lady's boat was rented, and my distant relatives rented a pleasure boat, and the decoration of the cruise ship was rented at a glance." must have cheated the title deed and killed Zheng Jixiang. ”

"You are talking nonsense again, Zheng Jixiang was asked for his life by the evil star female ghost."

The two women were clearly about to start arguing again, and although their tones were still calm, the smell of gunpowder was already there.

Gu Peiqing hurriedly said goodbye, and the fifth prince very much agreed to leave at this time.
