Chapter 124: What Do You Want to Do?
Yun Zhen presented a clear face, and she hunched over, using the cold water of the lake to awaken her current senses.
The droplets of water that slipped from between her fingers dripped into the lake and rippled.
After a long time, Yun Zhen stood up with her body and wiped the water stains on her face with the embroidered handkerchief in her arms.
Stimulated by the cold water, the blood red at the bottom of Yun Zhen's eyes had faded by half, and it was not as terrifying as before.
Yun Zhen looked down at the handkerchief that was wet with the lake water, shook her head slightly, and forced herself to be sober.
She still has a lot to do, and she will definitely make them repay a hundredfold of the humiliations she has suffered in the past.
Yun Zhen felt a thin anger in her heart, and with a flick of her hand, the handkerchief fell into the water, and I don't know if it was because of her strength, the handkerchief actually sank towards the bottom of the lake.
Yun Zhen stood by the lake for a long time before striding towards the main hall.
When Yun Zhen returned to the banquet, after three rounds of drinking, everyone at the banquet was already blushing, it was Yun Xiu who was sitting next to her, and there was a faint flush between his cold eyebrows, Hua Yunxiu was already very handsome, but his temperament was too cold, giving people a sense of intimidation.
Today, I have some wine, and it seems to be stained with a little dust, and I look more and more handsome.
As if sensing Yun Zhen's return, Hua Yun Xiu slightly adjusted his sitting posture, raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zhen.
"Sister Wang."
At the moment when he saw Yun Zhen, Hua Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, his eyes instantly condensed on Yun Zhen's sideburns that were slightly soaked by the lake water, and his eyebrows raised slightly. "How?"
After Yun Zhen sat down, she glanced at Hua Yunxiu silently, and after a long time, she slowly shook her head.
Although she has regained her calm now, she was too emotional before, and there was still some blood red oozing from the bottom of her eyes, Hua Yunxiu has always been very careful, and it is normal to see that something is wrong.
Knowing that Yun Zhen was afraid that she was reluctant to speak, Hua Yunxiu was not good at continuing to ask.
Yun Zhen's eyes looked around, and found that not only Liu Qingqing's position was empty, but Liu Zongpei was also missing, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice. "Already arranged?"
Although Hua Yunxiu didn't speak, his eyes were always looking at Yun Zhen, and when he heard Yun Zhen ask, he immediately nodded. "He went out for about a cup of tea, and he would come back later to take his leave."
When Yun Zhen heard this, she nodded.
In fact, at the moment when Yun Zhen stepped in, Sikong Ao saw it, and his eyes involuntarily kept circling around Yun Zhen's body, looking at Yun Zhen talking to Hua Yunxiu normally, he was already in a much calmer mood, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but squint slightly.
The wine cup in his hand was clenched in his right hand, and he raised his head and drank it all immediately, looking at Yun Zhen and not knowing what he was thinking.
After all, the night is getting darker, and many people have already moved to resign, and if they fall into the palace ban, they will not be able to leave the palace.
Hua Zijing obviously also saw the intentions of these people, and raised his hand slightly, and the hall was quiet in an instant.
After all, this is a royal feast, and no matter how enjoyable it is, it also needs to be described appropriately with scruples.
Listening to Hua Zijing talking about some polite etiquette, Yun Zhen is eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously leaned over and asked Hua Yun Cultivator on the side. "What did Father go out of?"
Hua Yunxiu pondered carefully for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then spoke. "It's not long after you left the table, Sister Wang."
Yun Zhen's heart moved slightly, and her eyes slowly moved from the vacant seat of King Dehuai to Li Jingrui, who had been smiling faintly and talking to others.
"Has the Lord Regent been out?"
Hearing Yun Zhen ask about this, Hua Yun Xiu remembered something and nodded. "But this is the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged for the eunuch on his side to invite Li Jingrui to leave the table."
Hua Zijing and Li Jingrui?
Hua Zijing set up this Hongmen banquet today, naturally it is impossible to ask for nothing, but looking at Hua Zijing's calm and calm look, there is no movement until now.
What exactly are they trying to do?
Just after Yun Zhen thought about it carefully, he only saw that after Hua Zijing announced the dismissal, Sikong Ao took the lead in standing up and asked Hua Zijing to resign.
But due to the distance, Yun Zhen couldn't hear what they were talking about.
Seeing what Hua Zijing said with a smile, Sikong Ao fell silent, shirked it many times, and still stood by Hua Zijing's side.
Yun Zhen's heart moved slightly, as if she probably understood something, her eyes hurriedly searched around the hall, and finally found Xu Wenhui's figure, she turned her head and quickly leaned into Hua Yunxiu's ear and said.
"Yun Xiu, you will wait..."
It's just that Yun Zhen's words haven't finished yet, and he saw that Hua Zijing moved his gaze to himself and Hua Yunxiu at this moment.
After coming into contact with Dao Hua Zijing's gaze, Yun Zhen's mind thought a lot, and unconsciously swallowed all the words into her stomach.
"Sister Wang?" Hua Yunxiu found that Yun Zhen was halfway through what he said, and swallowed it back, and couldn't help but cast a puzzled gaze on Yun Zhen's body and spoke.
It's just that under Hua Zijing's gaze, Yun Zhen just shook her head.
But I don't know if it's because Yun Zhen's current appearance will remind Hua Zijing of his old friend, or because of something else, Hua Zijing didn't seem to dare to look at Yun Zhen, and quickly moved his gaze to Hua Yunxiu on the side, and he raised his voice.
"Yun Zhen, Yun Xiu."
When Yun Zhen and the two stood closer, Hua Zijing asked with a smile. "What were you talking about? It was a great conversation. ”
In fact, after Hua Zijing cast his gaze, Yun Zhen already had a speculation in her heart.
Her thoughts turned a thousand times in her mind, but her reaction was extremely fast, and she left the table with Hua Yunxiu and stood in front of Hua Zijing.
Hua Yun's body leaned slightly, and he wanted to salute Hua Zijing, but Hua Zijing stretched out his hand to help him up.
"It's all a family, why be so polite." Hua Zi laughed loudly. "I think Uncle Huang has been in a good mood recently, so I can't help but drink a few more drinks tonight, and the news came before that I have rested in Xuantian Pavilion."
Hua Zijing paused as he spoke, and added. "It's getting late today, so why don't you stay in the palace together tonight."
Without waiting for Yun Zhen and Hua Yun Xiu to refuse, Hua Zijing shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"There are very few peers on the side of the main hall since childhood, and in the past, when I was younger, I often played with Yun Zhen, and I heard Yun Zhen talk about her baby brother all year round, and my ears were almost calloused. I often hear that Yun Xiu has the name of your intelligence, but I haven't talked to you yet, so I just took this opportunity to talk about you and my brother at night? ”
Yun Zhen listened to this, and only then did she remember in a trance that Hua Zijing was not wrong in what he said, when his father raised him by his side, and Qinghuang stayed in Kyoto for various reasons, because the royal family withered, and his father was afraid of people because he was young, so he often asked people to bring Qinghuang into the palace and accompany Hua Zijing.
After all, Hua Zijing and Qinghuang are of the same age, and it is good to talk together.
It was only later that the two grew up, Hua Zijing was busy with homework, and there was a difference between men and women, so they became estranged.
Hearing Hua Zijing suddenly mention this, Yun Zhen's mind couldn't help but think of the past.
Originally, his father held Hua Zijing on his knees and raised him, but because his father was not in good health, horizontally and vertically, Hua Zijing was brought up by her.
When Hua Zijing was a child, she was silent, she put a lot of effort into it, and he slowly began to talk to her, and for a while, he was still very clingy.
When did it start that Hua Zijing began to change?
When did Hua Zijing plant a seed of hatred in his heart?
Hate her?
Seeing Hua Zijing grow up, she was very pleased.
She and Hua Zijing didn't even have a quarrel, what was it for?
Hua Zijing can't wait to divide her five horses?
Even if it wasn't enough to imprison her for half a year, she was not allowed to be buried in the ground, just for a ridiculous rumor, he chopped off her hands, wanting her to completely turn into a lonely ghost?
Although Hua Zijing used a questioning tone, Hua Yunxiu had never heard any questioning sentences from his words.
Since Hua Zijing opened his mouth like this, Hua Yunxiu naturally didn't want to open his mouth to refuse again. After all, King Dehuai stayed in the palace, and Hua Zijing opened his mouth like this, if he refused, wouldn't it be to offend him?
Hua Yunxiu subconsciously glanced at Yun Zhen, and found that Yun Zhen's expression was quite complicated, he was slightly stunned, and then for fear that Hua Zijing would find out that Yun Zhen was wrong, he hurriedly spoke.
"Since the imperial brother said so, then Yun Xiu might as well be respectful and obey his fate."
Compared with Hua Zijing's eagerness for Hua Yunxiu, when Hua Zijing cast his eyes on Hua Yunzhen's body, the smile on his face was stiff. "As for Sister Wang, it is more exposed, and I will have a good rest later."
Yun Zhen naturally noticed Hua Zijing's resistance to herself, she originally hated Hua Yunxiu very much, and seeing Hua Zijing looking at her face so much, she nodded lightly.
The bottom of her eyes, which were originally surging with many emotions, gradually deposited, and she forcibly closed her eyes and forcibly suppressed all her thoughts.
Know that now is the right moment, and don't let hatred stir it up.
Yun Zhen raised her head in a trance and met Sikong Ao's eyes.
In a daze, she seemed to see a trace of worry in Sikong Ao's eyes, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then subconsciously nodded at Sikong Ao.
Sikong Ao looked at her, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and in the end he didn't say anything.
When Yun Zhen came out of his mind, Hua Zijing and Hua Yunxiu had already talked.
When Yun Zhen came back to her senses, she naturally understood that Hua Zijing's previous sentence meant to drive away guests, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Thank you for the royal brother's care, Yun Zhen will retire first."
Hua Zijing was very satisfied with Yun Zhen's acquaintance, beckoned, called the eunuch on the side, and whispered a few words.
The eunuch bowed his body, looking at him only about thirty years old, he was very delicate, and his attitude towards Hua Zijing was very respectful.
"County Lord, come here."
She had never seen this eunuch before.
Yun Zhen saw that this eunuch was a little familiar, and her eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.
