Chapter 321: Midnight
It's noon. The sun is high. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. Clear turquoise sky. It's like a glass cast.
The gate of Yanwangfu Zhuangzi is open. Three or five servants and the porter gathered in front of the door. Happy and laughing.
"You know what. The four members of the Zhu family. Throw it out." The porter said.
"Who doesn't know. I heard that the lady of the Zhu family didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Dangling outside the little princess's door. Annoyed the little princess."
"This person from the Zhu family is really bold. Don't look at the little princess from an ordinary family. It's not that he's a prince of the country."
"The little prince was not there last night. When the little prince was there. Our little princess always has a very good temperament......"
While these people are gossiping. On the main road in front of the door. There was a thunderous clatter of horses' hooves.
A sturdy and fat horse. Clouds of dust kicked up between the gallops. Almost in the blink of an eye. rushed to the gate of Yanwang's Mansion like thunder and lightning.
"It's the little prince who is back."
The horse. It was like the temperamental mount that Yan Xiuyu had returned from the North.
These people are scrambling. It's going to go to the threshold. But the horse would not wait. Gently straddle. and scurried into the door.
This horse is in addition to Yan Xiuyu. No one else can get close to it. It's a trivial matter to easily kick over a few people. Yan Xiuyu set it up in the stable. I don't even have time to dust off my body. Hurriedly went to the eldest princess of Jofu.
"Sister-in-law." Yan Xiuyu is gray-headed. into the house. Shout out.
The eldest princess of Roufu was sitting in the inner room talking with Yan Qingge. I heard his voice. Immediately stood up in unison. Ran out.
"Come on. Clean up this mud monkey." The eldest princess of Roufu saw Yan Xiuyu like this. His face didn't change at all. Instead, he smiled and commanded.
Yan Qingge's heart was beating suddenly.
Look at Yan Xiuyu like this. It's a hurry to get back. And Lord Yan wasn't with him. Don't. Is something really wrong?
"There's no rush to clean up. It was my brother who asked me to deliver a message to you. Last night, Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department walked with the five princes. Lord Zhao accidentally fell. Overwhelmed the Five Princes. There were several broken bones in their bodies. It's not going to get better for a while. The criminal department can't lose someone to preside over it. My brother was transferred to the town. I won't be able to come back for a while."
Listen to Yan Xiuyu. Yan Qingge breathed a sigh of relief before he was relieved.
"It's just a little thing. Is it worth your yelling?" The eldest princess of Roufu spoke her mind for Yan Qingge.
"How can you not be in a hurry. The horse of the next man is slow. I hurried back to get my brother's old uniform." Yan Xiuyu said in high spirits.
Yan Wang Ye was stripped of his position in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple last year. I've been at home all the time. There is finally hope for a recovery. How could Yan Xiuyu not be happy.
"What's the hurry. He just tops it for a few days. You don't have to worry about putting on that Rausch thing. Who knows when it will be replaced again." The eldest princess of Roufu pressed Yan Xiuyu nonchalantly. Calling the maid to clean his face.
Looks like. For a while. The eldest princess of Roufu didn't plan to ask Yan Xiuyu to leave.
Yan Qingge looked at Yan Xiuyu's bright lake blue clothes. Dusty. smiled: "I'll go back and give you a change of clothes."
The eldest princess of Roufu said, "I don't need you to go back. You two go back and change your clothes. Your brother's official uniform. I'll call someone to send it over."
Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu went out together. Took two steps. Yan Qingge remembered what happened last night. Hesitate. Or told Yan Xiuyu as it was.
"Brother Yu. You won't blame me for making a claim for myself. That's your staff after all." Yan Qingge said.
"Afraid of what. It's just a family. Rush to rush." While saying. Yan Xiuyu yawned loudly.
When he was in the house. Yan Qingge saw it. Yan Xiuyu's eyes were as red as rabbits. Bloodshot. The eldest princess of Roufu has always loved Yan Xiuyu. I think it's also to see his sleepy appearance. I drove him back to rest.
"You didn't sleep last night?" Yan Qingge asked.
"There was something going on last night. I have to do it." Yan Xiuyu gave Yan Qingge a look. Yan Qingge understood. What Yan Xiuyu did last night. It must be more confidential. Can't be easily said to be known.
Back in the courtyard where the two lived. Yan Qingge asked someone to bring hot water. Let Yan Xiuyu sit on the couch. She washed his hands with her own hands. It's only half the time to scrub. Yan Xiuyu fell asleep and died.
Do the math. He got up before dawn yesterday and went to Beijing. Until now. Nearly seventeen or eighteen hours without closing his eyes. I don't know how many things have happened in between. I'm also tired.
Yan Qingge couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Fang Cai shouldn't have told Yan Xiuyu about the Zhu family. lest he be anxious; That's a little thing. The past is gone.
Yan Xiuyu slept this time. I slept until midnight and woke up.
Yan Qingge was worried about him. I haven't slept soundly all the time. Yan Xiuyu turned over and sat up. She followed.
The oil lamp was lit. The lights are not very bright. Yan Qingge rubbed his eyes. With sleepiness, he said, "What are you going to eat. There are people on night duty in the kitchen tonight. Tell them to do some."
"Sleep. I'll just have two bites of snack." Yan Xiuyu walked to the table. Pour a large glass of temperature difference. I nibbled on the snack on my plate.
People are good-looking. Even a table of crumbs to eat dim sum. are more pleasing to the eye than others.
Yan Qingge looked at him gobbling up. I couldn't help but laugh.
It's just up. There was no one else in the house. Yan Qingge asked, "What the hell happened last night."
Yan Xiuyu listened. Shook his head. The complexion is a little heavy. Sighing, he said, "I've been going around the house of those barbarian nobles last night. I'm afraid they'll get into trouble. If I hadn't gone a few steps earlier. There are a few fierce ones. It's going to make a fuss."
"I heard from my sister-in-law. The palace banquet seems to mean the queen's mother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know."
"I started to think so. But in the morning, he announced that his brother would go to the criminal department to serve as a substitute. It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is said that the morning pilgrimage meeting. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also come out. It doesn't look like he's unaware of what happened last night."
"How so." Yan Qingge was shocked.
"What the hell is going on. It's going to be a few days before we know. There are different opinions outside. I can't even take it seriously."
This has come to this point. It's really a cloud mountain fog cover. Most people don't even know what's going on.
Fortunately. A crisis. It's finally dissipated invisibly.
The two of them were chattering. Outside. Suddenly there was a cry. Mournful and miserable. It seems to be at the base of the window outside Yan Qingge's bedroom.
Yan Qingge first barked at that time. Listened twice. I just felt that something was wrong.
Yan Xiuyu had already stood up. shouted, "Who."
"Ask the little prince to be the master of the slave family. The slave family is already pregnant with Master Zhu's child."
The female voice outside was still talking. Ruyi pushed the door in. Said: "Miss. Little Wangye. There was no one under the window. There was no one around the house."
Moment. The hairs on Yan Qingge's body stood up.
There was no one around. But you can hear people complaining about their grievances. Isn't there a ghost?
"Pretending to be a ghost. Climb me down from the roof." Yan Xiuyu thought for a moment. You can see what's going on. Shouted angrily.
After only listening to the sound of rustling. A few maids guarding the door. Carrying a woman dressed in a green man's clothes, he walked in.
"Little prince. The Little Princess. The woman climbed down from the roof. It's all the slaves and maids who don't guard it well." The maids and ladies knelt on the ground. Begging for mercy.
Pingbai made the little prince and the little princess have one more person on the roof of the bedroom. This crime. It's not small.
Yan Qingge's heart was still beating wildly. She stroked her chest. Look at the woman on the ground.
I saw this woman's long face with a slightly burnt yellow. The physiognomy is just ordinary. It looks like he was born in a farming family.
After entering the house. She kowtowed for a while. Ask Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu to call the shots for her.
"Tell me first. How did you get here?" Yan Qingge was even more curious about how she climbed onto the roof.
"Slaves and maids can climb trees. Follow the tree on the outer wall of the little prince's yard. One by one, they crawled over." The woman replied.
A lot of trees are planted on the Zhuangzi. It's all over the years. On the roof of the house where Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu lived. There is a big tree that covers the sky. With this big tree. Keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer. Come to think of it. The woman climbed onto the roof. It's the tree's work.
The aunts kneeling at the bottom also looked at each other. He didn't say anything: "Little prince. The Little Princess. We'll cut down all the trees tomorrow."
"No need to cut it. Someone will climb a tree today. Tomorrow there will be people who will climb the wall. Will we have to tear down the walls then?" Yan Qingge said.
The woman in the ground is dull again. I also saw that I had caused a big trouble. Shivered: "Slave maid...... The slave just wants to ask the little prince and the little princess to call the shots. If the slave maid can't enter the Xinguo Mansion to be the concubine of Master Zhu. The slave's father will definitely kill the slave."
Look at the woman underground. Yan Qingge had a headache for a while. She also thought . The Zhu family's business. I don't have anything to do with her anymore. But people and things related to the Zhu family. But it pops up from time to time.
"Who are you?" Yan Qingge asked.
"The slave's father is the head of the Zhou sect in the house. The slave maid is the second daughter of the head of the Zhou sect." The woman said with a wince.
Yan Qingge was stunned. Suddenly. This girl's face. It looks a little familiar.
"Your father is the head of the Zhou sect. His full name. Isn't it called Zhou Quanhu?" Yan Qingge asked.
Zhou Quanhu Zhou Jiaotou. Although Kung Fu is good. But let's get it into detail. At the beginning, he was just a house slave in the Yanwang Mansion. followed Yan Xiuyu to Qingzhou.
After Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu were separated. Together with Zhou Jiaotou. On the island of the outer lake of the Jade Lake. Ducked for a long time.
There is the care of the head of the week. Yan Qingge and Ruyi had a pretty good time on the island. To the head of the Zhou sect. Yan Qingge has a lot of admiration.
If the woman on the earth is really the daughter of the head of the Zhou sect. Yan Qingge really didn't know what to do.
