Chapter 22: Death by Death
Ye Gongming walked into the room slowly with Shang Zhaoyi in his arms, and looked around, the bright sunlight spilled down from the bamboo window, and the table there was also sprinkled with sunlight.
There is a yellowish plain silk on the table, an inkstone next to it, and a few brushes are inserted in the pen holder.
In a porcelain pot by the window is a delicate pearl plum.
Turning his head, it was a dresser that the daughters of the boudoir had, on which was placed a diamond bronze mirror covered with a brocade sleeve and a jewelry box with red lacquer carved plum blossoms, as well as a gold-inlaid treasure flower and phoenix crown and a string of rare inverted prayer beads, which seemed to secretly indicate that the owner of the room was not an ordinary woman.
Picking up the beaded curtain worn by Yingluo, on one side is the bedroom, and the sandalwood shelf bed is hung with a lilac gauze tent, and the whole room looks simple and elegant.
Ye Gongming walked to the bed, put Shang Zhaoyi down slowly, and then walked to the dresser: "Didn't you say that there was no money?" Where did these pieces of jewelry come from? Ye Gongming picked up the gold-encrusted treasure flower and phoenix crown and a rare inverted rosary on the table.
Before Si'er could speak, Ye Gongming's hand crushed the so-called jewelry.
"That's what Miss used as a faΓ§ade, and it was also the last thought that Madame gave Madam to Mademoiselle before her death, but because the people in the General's Mansion withheld our meals, Miss had to sell Madame's dowry and exchange it for silver to maintain our daily meals, and the jewelry on the table was carefully carved by Mademoiselle herself with stones, and it was also painted with paint......" Si'er looked at the jewelry that was broken into slag on the ground, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Ye Gongming heard Si'er's words and didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on Shang Zhaoyi, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
"Yukun, let's go!" Ye Gongming retracted his gaze after a long time, with a sneer on his face.
"Little obedience!" Yukun lowered his head slightly, and after Ye Gongming left, he also followed behind.
"Cut! Yes man! Si'er looked at Yukun hurriedly following up, and couldn't help but say with a sneer, and then turned her head to look at Shang Zhaoyi, who was sleeping on the bed, and couldn't help sighing, with a sad face.
"Yukun, you stay and secretly protect Zhaoyi's safety." Ye Gongming, who had walked halfway to the general, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Yu Kun, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Little obedience!" Yu Kun received the order, and disappeared directly, Ye Gongming stood in place, looked at Shang Zhaoyi's courtyard, sighed slightly, and then walked out of the general's mansion with a ruffian smile.
"Congratulations to the Nine Emperor Princes!" As soon as Ye Gongming arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, the voices of the people in the General's Mansion came, and the Nine Emperors looked at them with an evil smile, and said stubbornly: "The General's Mansion is so angry!" β
The subordinates all knelt on their knees, bowed their heads, and did not dare to speak.
"The concubine sees the Nine Emperor Princes, the concubines have just learned the news that the Nine Emperor Princes have entered the palace, and they are late to take over, so please forgive them." Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a coquettish voice came out from behind them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief for an instant.
"Nine Emperor Princes, is there anything wrong with the General's Mansion?"
Ye Gongming looked at the woman in front of her, frowned slightly impatiently, the woman in front of her was wearing a purple embroidered Luo Shan, wearing a pearl white lake crepe skirt, the melon seed-shaped face, a slight shyness, a peach blossom face, a slightly bulging belly, telling everyone that she was pregnant.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Ye Gongming looked at her appearance, frowned in disgust, and then left the General's Mansion directly.
The woman looked at the back of the Nine Emperor Princes leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Third aunt, the master has explained, I want you to rest well to protect the heirs of our General's Mansion, why did you come out like this? What about the third lady? As soon as Leng Youran turned around, he heard the housekeeper's complaint.
"Oops! Steward Wang, am I not doing this for the good of the General's Mansion? Leng Youran looked at the cold meaning in Steward Wang's eyes, and immediately said, there are too many people in the huge general's mansion that she can't offend.
"The third aunt, please go back to her yard." Steward Wang looked at the appearance of the third aunt, said lightly, and then dismissed a kind of maid and guard.
"Alas, I don't know what the third aunt is going to do?" As soon as the crowd dispersed, there was the whispering of the maids.
"I don't know, the third aunt probably wants to find a good home for the third lady......" one of the maids' tone was slightly disdainful.
"Isn't it? At this time, he dared to climb the royal family? Behind the two maids, one of them exclaimed quietly.
"Liu'er?! What's wrong with Climbing Royale now? The two maids who were discussing turned their heads to look at Liu'er in surprise, as if it was very unusual for Liu'er to be able to speak.
The maid named Liu Er never spoke again, but her eyes looked at the people who were talking, bent down, looked at the northeast corner of the General's Mansion, and then walked away cautiously.
"Liu Er is such a weirdo!"
"yes!"
"Ever since we entered the house, we've been like this, not talking, and at first I thought she was a mute!"
"Do you still want to stay and work in the General's Mansion? If you don't want to, go today! When the maidservants and guards who were discussing heard the words of the king's steward, they immediately dispersed.
Steward Wang looked at the scattered people, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and his eyes unconsciously looked out, as if he was looking forward to someone.
β¦β¦
It was getting dark, Shang Zhaoyi stretched his waist, turned around, opened his eyes, looked at the sky outside, and shouted with a slightly hazy sleeping voice: "Si'er!" β
Si'er, who was guarding outside the door, immediately came in, looked at Shang Zhaoyi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Miss, are you awake?!" β
"Hmm......" Shang Zhaoyi rubbed her eyes and looked at her dresser, she vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have asked a question, didn't he say that there was no silver? I didn't hear the rest of the sentence clearly......
When Shang Zhaoyi's gaze fell on the broken jewelry on the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Miss, this is the Nine Emperor Princes...... Crushed! Si'er looked at Shang Zhaoyi's expression, and hurriedly expressed his position, indicating that he had nothing to do with this matter, and at the same time looked at Shang Zhaoyi worriedly.
Shang Zhaoyi raised her head stiffly, and when she looked at Si'er's face with an expression that had nothing to do with me, she was in a state of rage again, and just as Si'er was about to say something, she stretched out her slender hands and tried to calm her mood.
Si'er looked at Shang Zhaoyi, who was trying to calm down his mood, and couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face.
After a while, Shang Zhaoyi soothed his mood, raised his eyes, looked at the pile of debris calmly, and said coldly: "That's it, let's pass the past, and in the future, we will start again!" β
After Si'er looked at the look in Shang Zhaoyi's eyes, she didn't speak, but she knew that the days of their master and servant who had a meal and a meal were coming to an end.
"Miss, the slave is willing to die with you!" Si'er knelt down in a proper manner and looked at Shang Zhaoyi, but her clean eyes were resolute at this moment.
"Si'er, you must know that the current situation is very dangerous, if we take a wrong step, we will all be doomed." Shang Zhaoyi sat on the edge of the bed, a pair of eyes revealing worry, and looked at Si'er.
Si'er raised her head, her eyes were full of determination, and she said sonorously: "The slave and maid are still the same sentence, swear to die!" β
