Chapter 278: The Lie That Women Love to Hear
Zhuang Siyan left the palace, but Ling Tiancheng did not go out.
Because he knew that she was in a hurry to get out, she just didn't want to see anyone inside.
Unfortunately, Ling Tiancheng is not only the person here, but also the master here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Guiren's death was caused by him.
And his own mistakes, but now he wants his face to carry it.
He was very distressed, very heartbroken, but helpless.
sent a message to Wen Qing and asked him to find a way to ask Mi Yueqing to see her.
When the moon cleared, it was already mid-afternoon, and the light of the setting sun was slanting, stretching the shadows of everything very long.
Her carriage stopped at the gate, and Qing Ran went out to greet her, thinking that Wen Qing would also follow, but in the end she saw Mi Yueqing getting out of the car alone.
The light of the slanting sun hit half of her face, as well as the Luo skirt on her body, and half of her body was covered with a layer of golden light.
But on the other side is a shadow, and the yin part is a little bigger, it looks like Mi Yueqing has lost a lot of weight, but people are more generous than when they first left the palace.
She looked up and asked Qing Ran, "Where is my sister?" ”
"In the backyard, something happened in the palace, you know this, right?"
Mi Yueqing nodded, raised her feet and walked inside.
Qing Ran was behind her, closing the door again.
He didn't follow the past, that kind of place is not suitable for people like him, but he has to ensure Zhuang Siyan's safety, this is a dead task.
Mi Yueqing's footsteps are very light, and she doesn't walk fast, she belongs to the authentic light lotus step, slowly from the front yard, through the horizontal rockery, to the backyard, and saw Zhuang Siyan.
She sat in the gazebo, her head half-hung down, looking at the lotus pond outside the cool.
The small lotus leaves inside have already sprouted their heads, but only a little small, and some are even underwater, not exposed.
Occasionally, one or two fish swim by, unhurried, a bit like Mi Yueqing at this time.
When Ah Si saw her coming, he also stepped back a little, standing still where he couldn't hear their conversation, but his eyes were focused on the direction of the gazebo.
Sun Xi has changed, in fact, their house is not too safe, it's good that the master is not here, the rest are rough envoys, useless, and life is not expensive.
But if the master comes back, then he has to pay full attention and must protect her safety.
When Mi Yueqing walked to Zhuang Siyan's side, she glanced back at her, but did not speak, turned her face again, and continued to look at the fish underwater.
Mi Yueqing didn't speak, and sat with her, watching the fish below.
The sun sank little by little, and finally completely fell on the other side of the courtyard wall, leaving only the light that refused to leave to shine on the scenery and people in the courtyard that had gone down in the dark.
The spring breeze is cool, but it is also as harsh as winter, but there is a feeling of comfort.
Zhuang Siyan turned his head, and when he saw that Mi Yueqing also turned to look at her, he smiled and asked, "Do you know about Xiao Guiren?" ”
Mi Yueqing nodded: "I don't blame my sister for her affairs, it's all self-inflicted, and my sister doesn't have to feel guilty." ”
When Zhuang Siyan heard this, he laughed a little bigger: "I don't think I blame me, she died by herself, but after all, I caused this incident, maybe if I didn't make a move at that time, there would be a better solution?" ”
Mi Yueqing shook her head slightly: "Sister, there won't be a better way to deal with it, you only saw her death, do you know how many people died for her?"
The palace people in her palace often disappeared innocently, and even Xin Zheku couldn't find out where those people went?
Occasionally, some bones were found in a corner of the palace, and her head was never found, so how did my sister know that those people did not die because of her?
Those palace people are also born and raised by their parents, even if they enter the palace, they are still alive, they are carefully waiting for their masters, why should they die? ”
These words still have a certain reassuring effect.
Zhuang Siyan was not entirely guilty of Xiao Guiren, she knew very well what was going on with that person, she even dared to poison herself at the beginning, and those palace people were not like ants in her hands.
It's one thing to just know, and it's another thing to pass that threshold in your heart.
She looked at Mi Yueqing for a while before asking her, "What about you?" Do you regret it now? ”
Mi Yueqing shook her head again: "I've always wanted to come up with it, but I've never had a good idea, and now it's my sister who has fulfilled my wish, how can I regret it?" ”
"But I haven't found you a good home, now living in the Wen Mansion ......, what, I think Wen Qing is almost fine now, if you don't want to live there, come to me, there are many houses here, there are no outsiders, and I am more comfortable, I usually come out and we can meet often."
Mi Yueqing nodded: "I came this time to bring my luggage here, and I will live here in the future." ”
When she said this, Zhuang Siyan breathed a sigh of relief.
The last time I went to Wen's house, I saw Wen Qing's attitude towards her, it was really bad, Mi Yueqing just lived in the palace for a few years, she didn't do anything wrong, and she shouldn't be treated like this.
Now that she lives here, she doesn't have to carry a strange man in the middle, but gets along better.
Zhuang Siyan also put down Xiao Guiren's affairs for the time being, took her hand and said, "Where is your luggage, bring it over, let's go to your room." ”
Said it was luggage, not a small burden, when Mi Yueqing came in, she handed it to a servant, and the servant had already sent it to her room.
At this time, the two sisters walked hand in hand to the room, and even Ah Si, who was standing in the backyard, and Qing Ran in the distance breathed a sigh of relief.
The gossip took a long time, and before I knew it, it was dark, and the servants in the house came to deliver food.
Zhuang Siyan said to Mi Yueqing: "Let's go, let's eat, I still have to go to the General's Mansion after dinner, do you want to go with me?" ”
Mi Yueqing shook her head: "I won't go, I'll wait for news from my sister at home." ”
Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment and asked her, "What did you just say?" ”
Mi Yueqing was also stunned by her question, and repeated: "I'm not going, my sister is careful on the road." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "I asked about the latter sentence. ”
Mi Yueqing let out an "oh", and then repeated the following words: "I said, wait for my sister to come back at home." ”
She used a "home", which made Zhuang Siyan feel a lot of emotion.
She was homeless since she was a child, and later she only had a job, and she traveled to the Dasheng Dynasty and entered the palace, which was not called home.
Even if she bought this house and usually came to live there, it was just a place to stay, but she didn't want to be said to be a home by Mi Yueqing.
Zhuang Siyan smiled at her, and didn't dwell on this matter anymore, but in his heart, he had already put Mi Yueqing closer again.
It is a sister who can have a common family with her, and she is different from others.
Zhuang Siyan held her hand, took her to the front hall, gathered all the people in the house, and solemnly introduced Mi Yueqing: "This is my sister, I will live here in the future, she is the same as me, I hope you can take good care of her." ”
Mi Yueqing's face flushed, and she tugged at her sleeve and said, "Sister, you have already said it before." ”
"Different." Zhuang Siyan replied to her.
Mi Yueqing has nothing to do in the Wen Mansion, and there is nothing to do here, so she sits in the room and reads when she has nothing to do, fortunately Zhuang Siyan has nothing to do and has the habit of reading, there are a few books to read here, just to kill her time.
Zhuang Siyan took Ah Si to the General's Mansion.
On the way, Ah Si told her about the moat: "Forty or fifty corpses have been found so far, but the subordinates don't seem to pay attention to what Lord Gu means. ”
"It's okay, don't say much, just watch inside, pay attention to the new people who come and go with the ancient books, and also, these corpses have come out, and no people will recognize them?"
Ah Si shook his head: "It's strange to say, there are a lot of people in the capital who go to see the excitement, but no one recognizes the corpse." ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't say anything, but his mind was thinking, it's really weird enough, could it be that these people are all from other places, and there is no one in the capital?
Even so, they should have friends on a regular basis, right? Did a friend die with them too?
Until the matter is clarified, this question can only be a problem.
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, it was almost the second watch, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street, Zhuang Siyan stopped at the door and said: "If you have Qingran to accompany me, you go back first, remember not to expose yourself, you can report when you come back, don't make a rash move, if I am not there, you will go to Mr. Wen." ”
Ah Si nodded, watching her knock on the door of the General's Mansion, someone inside answered, the door opened, and then turned to leave.
Ye Yuanpei has no news, he has been leading the army away for a while, and not a single letter has been sent back until now.
The housekeeper of the General's Mansion said: "Sir, when the general left, he said that he has his own natural appearance, and if you want to ask, I will tell you that it is okay." ”
Zhuang Siyan's brows furrowed: "Did he say anything else?" ”
The butler shook his head.
He might as well not say anything.
In the past, Ye Yuanpei also came and went from south to north, but he rarely talked to Zhuang Siyan, and he even sometimes avoided her and sneaked away.
This time he deliberately left words, but it made people listen awkwardly.
Zhuang Siyan didn't dare to think about it, but his heart was still a little chaotic.
She asked the butler, "Who did he take with him when he left?" ”
In the army, the housekeeper didn't know very well, and only said a few names of people he was familiar with, all of whom had been with him all the year round, and they all had lifelong friendships.
Zhuang Siyan's heart was slightly lowered, and under the guidance of the housekeeper, he went to see Li Hua.
When Li Hua heard that Ye Yuanpei was going to go on the expedition, she also had to go with him.
But Ye Yuanpei can't take her away, such a ruthless person, he can't fully believe what he says, and this time he went to Kashgar, it was particularly dangerous, and he had to bring someone he trusted.
If this woman goes with her, if something happens, it will not be his life alone.
But Ye Yuanpei is a very smart person, of course he won't tell her these truths, but made up a lie, a lie that all women love to hear.
He said that for so many years, there had never been a woman who liked him as much as Li Hua, so he was very moved.
But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if she follows, it will inevitably distract Ye Yuanpei, and if she doesn't get it right, she will be buried in the yellow sand.
It's better for her to wait for him in the mansion, and when she returns triumphantly, she will take care of this matter carefully.
The words were very measured, which not only gave Li Hua hope, kept her in the house, and did not follow her to make trouble, but also did not say a reliable promise.
Who knows what he can sort out with this woman when he really returns from the Ghoshi tribe, and if he doesn't manage anything at that time, this woman will have nothing to say.
