Chapter 450: Green Silk and White Hair
Cheng Haofeng pursed his lips and said with some embarrassment: "After I find a suitable opportunity and a suitable reason to let Duan Mengrou out of the battle, I will go to see you." You can't take the initiative to approach me, don't blame me for snubbing you again.
If they provoke Duan Mengrou to violate the temporary cooperation with Mao Riwu and Zha Cuo, then the superficial harmony we currently maintain will not be maintained.
We move separately and can disrupt their sight......"
Cheng Haofeng raised his eyes to look at the floating clouds, and the chessboard in his heart began to lay out.
Hu Xianxian knew that he had some things that were not good to say, and he regarded his lover as a pawn, and he felt ashamed in his heart. Among the forces they have to deal with, Orihun and Gongjue are currently the weakest, and joining forces to eliminate the weak is the most suitable way for them at present.
Hu Xianxian waved goodbye to him and smiled: "I'm waiting for you to come to me, don't worry." I'm not in a hurry to go back to Lingzhou, I will bend around the east and west along the way, and let's make Orihun and Gongjue amuse. ”
With that, she hurriedly flew away, she was afraid that if she said a few more words, she would be even more reluctant to separate.
Hu Xianxian flew for a while, summoned a colorful magpie to ride for a while, and arrived outside the palace of King Qingqiu on June 24.
She was outside the palace gate, and was about to enter the palace as she had done several times, when the guards stopped her.
She couldn't find anything to prove her identity, and she was so anxious that her face turned red. She was arguing with the guards, and Ah Pian came in a sedan chair. The red sedan chair carried by four people was accompanied by more than ten slaves.
Ah Pian explained to the guards with a pleasant face, and they hesitated for a moment before letting them go.
Hu Xianxian refused to ride in the same sedan chair with Ah Pian, and walked to the Imperial Garden with some annoyance. Ah Pian asked people to stop the sedan chair first, and then got off the sedan chair and flew up to catch up with her.
"Hu Yuanjun don't be angry, now the queen has a lot of worldly etiquette rules, and we have to follow them. Also, all the guards inside and outside the palace have changed, and they are all cronies of the queen, and they will embarrass you if they don't recognize you. ”
Ah Pian looked anxious, and Hu Xianxian asked puzzledly: "Are you saying that now Qingqiu Country is Shang Weiran in full power?" ”
Ah Pian nodded in acquiescence, and whispered: "Hu Yuanjun, please forgive me, the queen summoned me to the imperial study to discuss matters, if I go late, I may be punished." When I'm done, I'll talk a little bit more about the current situation. ”
Hu Xianxian patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You go quickly, don't be embarrassed." I'll go directly to the fifth senior brother, and you can tell me where he is. ”
"The lord of the country now lives in the courtyard where Miss Hong'er used to live, and he doesn't go out for ten days and a half months."
Hu Xianxian laughed a few times, and went to the courtyard, and Ah Pian also got into the sedan chair and went to the imperial study.
The small courtyard in the corner of the imperial garden was so quiet that it was a little lonely, Hu Xianxian gently pushed open half of the wooden door, and the courtyard was sparse and vibrant.
When Lie Yufeng saw her coming, he just looked up at her and smiled, then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the bottles and cans on the wooden table.
Hu Xianxian walked to the small kapok seedlings that Hong'er had turned into, bowed and said hello: "Hong'er, I'm here to disturb you and the fifth senior brother alone, do you bother me?" ”
Hong'er can't transform into a human at the moment, and she doesn't have the wisdom yet, so of course she won't answer her.
Hu Xianxian learned Hong'er's gentle tone and asked herself: "Miss Hu said that you laughed, you can come to see us, I can't be happy, how can I be annoyed by you?" ”
Lie Yufeng laughed twice when he heard it, first put away a porcelain bottle close to his body, and then went to clean up those bottles and cans.
When he was free, he took out the teapot and tea bowl to entertain Hu Xianxian: "The hospitality is not good, please forgive me, seventh senior sister." There is no one here to call you, and it is not that I deliberately neglect you. ”
As soon as he said this, Hu Xianxian noticed that there were many guards around this small courtyard, but there was not a single slave in the courtyard.
"How can there be neglect? Without those people along, we were more comfortable chatting like that. As she spoke, she glanced at the guards outside and asked in a low voice, "How do I feel that you are under house arrest?" ”
"Sort of. In fact, there is no need for the people of the Shang family to do this, no matter whether there is someone guarding me or not, I will not leave this courtyard at will. ”
Lie Yufeng looked at the guards with disdain, and said to Hu Xianxian with a smile: "Some troubles are that I have to take care of my own life, and it is difficult for Cui'er to see me, so I am so busy that I am sloppy again." ”
Hu Xianxian looked at him, dressed in a simple moon-white robe, with his hair curled at will, he no longer looked delicate and noble, but he was definitely not sloppy.
It's just that when she took a closer look, she saw a lot of gray hair on his forehead, and asked in surprise: "I see that your breath is normal, and your lifespan has not decreased, why is your hair so white?" ”
Lie Yufeng looked at the kapok seedlings, smiled bitterly and said: "Lovesickness is inexhaustible, and it happens in vain unconsciously." ”
Hu Xianxian sighed melancholy, and wanted to say comforting words, but his heart was sour and unspeakable. Lie Yufeng and Hong'er are not easy to show their temperament of great sorrow and joy, they are not strong enough to bear everything, but they would rather look down on themselves than cause trouble to others.
Hong'er doesn't know when and when she can re-transform into a human form, and Qingqiu Country may also be in a crisis, and there is a lot of irrepressible heartache hidden under Lie Yufeng's indifferent appearance?
Hu Xianxian secretly rejoiced that Cheng Haofeng was still there, even if he couldn't stay with each other all the time, at least he could clearly know that he was okay.
"Fifth Senior Brother, I'm here to send Cai Que to take Yi Gu Dan and improve its cultivation. I'll go to Michitose first, and I'll come back with you later. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't know how to comfort Lie Yufeng, and was a little indignant at Shang Weiran's approach, so he thought about handling the matter of Caique first, and then went to Shang Weiran to theorize.
When he arrived outside the palace where he lived, Hu Xianxian was afraid that he would be troubled by the guards again, so he flew straight into the mansion. She followed her breath and went straight to the door of the study.
"Three thousand years old, I'm here to beg for dinner, do you have my share?"
Outside the column was reading a book, and saw Hu Xianxian standing at the door with a smile, and hurriedly greeted her: "Come in and sit, Xianxian, you finally remember to come to Qingqiu Country to go around." He enthusiastically got up to greet Hu Xianxian, and asked the servant to serve tea quickly.
After a few words of greeting between the two, Hu Xianxian took out the colorful magpie that had turned into a jade carving, and made a request: "After the colorful magpie takes the Yi Gu Dan, it will change its muscles and bones, and the pain will be unbearable, please take care of it for three thousand years." ”
"Okay, let it refine its muscles and bones here with me, and when you come to pick it up, keep it and cultivate it to a higher level." After receiving the magpie, he sighed a few more times.
Hu Xianxian asked in a low voice: "Three thousand years old is worried about the affairs of the lord of the country?" ”
"Can you not be worried? The power of the lord of the country has fallen, the clans with the surnames have been excluded, and the queens of all kinds of important positions have appointed people from the Shang family, which is the dictatorship of foreign relatives. ”
After blowing the tea leaves floating on the water outside the column, he took a sip of tea and said, "But I also know what the lord thinks, and I myself have no objection to the lord doing that." After experiencing all the ups and downs of life, I have long been downish on fame and fortune, so let them make trouble.
It's just that they are too much, and they are not satisfied with the power, so they have to pour dirty water on the lord of the country. The reputation of the lord of the country is really stinky, and they talk like crazy people who only know how to miss Hong'er.
In the past, only me and Ah Pian could still have some dignity, and everyone else was worse than the common people. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't expect that Lie Yufeng would cause so many things if he wanted to give up the throne to Shang Weiran, and he hadn't really given up at this time, what would happen when he really gave way?
As a result, the fate of those former ministers of the former dynasty has changed, and Lie Yufeng has not become the murderer who pushed them into the abyss of bad luck?
It's hard to have both worlds, and of course Lie Yufeng didn't make these decisions just for Hong'er, but who can really understand his hard work?
Hu Xianxian clenched his fists and pounded the corner of the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Shang Weiran should know that the fifth senior brother sincerely wants to give way to her, what is the point of her engaging in these intrigues?" I need to meet her. ”
"Don't be busy, the queen is not easy to see now, it's better to wait for me to talk to Ah Pian and let Ah Pian take you to see her."
Hu Xianxian waved his hand and flew out. She couldn't figure out why Shang Weiran did this, would Shang Weiran feel good in putting Lie Yufeng in a difficult situation?
There are many people in this world who are icing on the cake, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow. Just from the few hours she has been in Qingqiu Country, she can also think of some of the old ministers who are loyal to him, and they may have had a worse life than they seem.
At the door of the imperial study, the guards wanted to stop her, but she raised her hand and waved it lightly, restrained them, and broke straight in.
Shang Weiran was discussing with Ah Pian and a few other courtiers, and Ah Pian said with a little surprise: "We are discussing business, Hu Yuanjun ......"
"When I'm done meddling, you guys will talk about business!" Hu Xianxian flashed in front of Shang Weiran and said in a cold voice.
Shang Weiran waved his hand to let the guards who rushed in retreat, and then let those courtiers also retreat, and then looked at Hu Xianxian and asked in a low voice, "Are you here to vent your anger to the lord of the country?" ”
"I can't get used to you being so mean to him, I just want to get justice for him. The affairs between your husband and wife are still settled by yourself, and I don't care much. ”
"Husband and wife? Who is husband and wife between me and him? There is neither husband and wife affection, nor husband and wife. Shang Weiran reluctantly smiled and said, "I hope he asked you to come to me to ask for an explanation, but unfortunately, it should just be you who want to fight the grievances, right?" ”
Hu Xianxian's anger subsided a little, and he didn't understand what Shang Weiran meant. Shang Weiran saw her face full of doubts, and said, "Why should I be so mean to him? I just want to get his attention, let him know that I married into Qingqiu Kingdom, I don't care about being a queen or even a queen, what I care about is whether there is a chance for him to fall in love with me!
But what about him? No matter what I tried to do to him, he had a faint attitude of indifference. I can't even provoke him to be angry, he is determined to throw the burden of Qingqiu Kingdom to me, and he will go and live happily by himself.
He is so selfish and irresponsible, I deserve it to him! If you can't stand it, you can persuade your fifth senior brother to take responsibility well! ”
Shang Weiran's ugly face was distorted because he was too excited, and he looked a little hideous. But on this hideous countenance, there are a pair of quiet and bright eyes, and there is no sinister and vicious meaning in the eyes, only sadness and helplessness.
Hu Xianxian sighed twice and asked, "Do you know that Fifth Senior Brother deliberately wants you to take power, and what you did was just to provoke him?" You just want him back in power, but do you know he has a bigger mission? Watching his green hair turn white, have you ever thought about how many contradictions and struggles he has experienced in his heart when he chooses to do this? ”
Hu Xianxian asked a series of rhetorical questions, and Shang Weiran was stunned, and she whispered: "Listen to what you mean, isn't he just depressed for Hong'er?" ”
