Chapter 354: Threats
The tip of the sword was dripping with blood, the cold light in the phoenix's eyes was sharp, but the slanted sword eyebrows were slightly raised, as if he was enjoying the bloody qi very much, and squatted down and said, "How is it?" Is it comfortable? ”
The man lying on the ground was already trembling with pain, and he really wanted to faint directly, but the intense pain tugged at his consciousness and made him more awake than ever.
"King, prince, I was wrong, I know that I was wrong, the prince spares his life!"
The man's plea for mercy was faint and inaudible, but in the quiet of the hall, where even a pin could be heard, his voice was like a hammer, slamming into everyone's hearts.
Mrs. Lu had already been frightened, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she wrinkled her brows and said, "How can Prince Zhongshun be so cruel? ”
"Cruel? What kind of product is this? This king also thinks that he has defiled Ah Lan's sword! Xiao Xiao rubbed the blood stains on the sword on the man's body, and threw it towards Ji Zeyu casually.
If it was a bystander, he would have been stunned by Xiao Xiao's sudden move, but Ji Zeyu still stood motionless with a frosty face.
I could only hear the sound of "bang", and the sword was accurately returned to the scabbard on Ji Zeyu's waist.
The dashing sword swing, Ji Zeyu's wholehearted trust, and the murderous aura exuded by the two of them at the same time made everyone present panic.
Li Helan looked at these two handsome men, and her ears became hotter.
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and smiled, and said excitedly: "That's it, since the prince can dissipate his anger like this, it doesn't matter if the prince takes these people." ”
When those few people heard this, they looked at Mrs. Lu in disbelief.
They never imagined that Mrs. Lu would take the initiative to send them out.
Looking at the people on the ground who had fallen into a semi-coma and had their arms gone, they all trembled like chaff, and they all knelt down and kowtowed again and again.
Xiao Xiao sneered: "Aren't these all Mrs. Lu's sweethearts?" You say that, and you are not afraid of people being sad? ”
Mrs. Lu wanted to say, "I can make you laugh, what do you want their lives to do."
But as soon as he raised his eyes and looked at the owl with a cold light, even if this person was smiling, he was still full of murderous energy, as if he would pounce on the beast that would be devoured at any time, Mrs. Lu's words choked in her throat, and she didn't dare to say it when she was killed.
Ji Zeyu tightened the collar of the fox fur and said to Li Helan: "The eldest princess, please feel free to play here, you have to have fun, and the minister will retire first." ”
After the words fell, he turned his arm and motioned for him to go along.
Li Helan hurriedly chased the footsteps of the two in a panic: "There is nothing to play in this palace, donkey, you send this palace back to the princess's mansion!" ”
Ji Zeyu glanced back at Li Helan lightly, and said, "The minister is stupid, he can't serve the eldest princess well, and he still has to trouble the people around the eldest princess to serve you properly." With a polite bow, he walked again.
Li Helan was really a little panicked this time.
In the past, even if Ji Zeyu was cold to her, he was not as polite and distant as he is now. Only then did she realize that Ji Zeyu was cold to her, not the most terrifying, because Ji Zeyu's temperament was originally cold. The most terrifying thing is that Ji Zeyu suddenly became polite to her.
It's not too late for them to get acquainted, they met before, and Ji Zeyu didn't have such a polite time.
Li Helan found out that after the wedding, although one of them lived in the princess's mansion and the other lived in the concubine's mansion, and only the day of the cave house had been husband and wife, Ji Zeyu was also cold to her in general, revealing some casualness.
Li Helan really regrets that she shouldn't have done it in the first place. She shouldn't be greedy to come and play and do anything, Ji Zeyu is like that, how will the life between their husband and wife go on in the future?
Li Helan chased a few steps, and when she saw the black and white figure walking away quickly without any nostalgia, she finally couldn't help crying.
Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu walked side by side, and they were silent all the way out of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.
Xiao Xiao was unhappy for Ji Zeyu in his heart.
But he also knew that Ji Zeyu was afraid that he had made all kinds of mental preparations since he agreed to be a royal concubine.
Over the years, although there have been many gentle, kind, noble and elegant princesses, there are not a few people like Mrs. Lu.
Princess Shang, the husband and wife are not standing in an equal position, the princess is the master, the horse is specially used to serve the princess, when the princess has needs, please come to the princess's house, the horse can be close to his wife, if there is no princess on weekdays, the horse can not only not touch the princess's finger, but even a room girl can not be used.
This is the helplessness of serving the royal people.
Xiao Xiao felt that with Ji Zeyu's talent and character, being a colt was really wronged him. But he also understands that Ji Zeyu's current situation is also a great achievement, and his situation is as difficult as his.
Ji Zeyu agreed to be Li Helan's concubine, but I am afraid it is also the result of multiple considerations.
The two walked out of the house without saying a word. I saw that their mounts were kicking their hooves in the snow, and they had stepped on a piece of mud on the ground, and on the carriage on the side, Qin Yining was lifting the curtain and looking here.
When he saw Qin Yining, he was overjoyed, but he couldn't show anything on his face, and scolded: "What are you still doing here?" Do you still want to go in and continue to enjoy it with Mrs. Lu? ”
Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu and lowered his eyes, lowered the curtains, and without answering, he ordered the carriage to set off.
As the sound of horses' hooves gradually moved away, Ji Zeyu said helplessly: "Don't you like the Qin family?" Why are you so unpretentious, how can you make up for it in the future if you hurt her heart? ”
Xiao Xiao said: "The daughter of the enemy, how can you like it?" ”
Ji Zeyu sighed silently when he heard this, patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, and said, "Thank you very much." ”
"There is no need to thank each other. It's just Ah Lan, you can also talk to the saint about this matter. ”
"What's the use of saying that? The saint doesn't have so much spare time to manage these mundane things, not to mention that I was meant to serve the princess in the first place, and the princess is free to do whatever she wants. She can also raise her face, but I can only defend her. ”
Ji Zeyu is used to being quiet and talking, and he can only speak so freely in front of his brothers, and he no longer spares words like gold.
Xiao Xiao said: "That's it, don't think about it so much, I'll invite you to eat and drink, go, go to my house." As he spoke, he pulled the reins and turned over neatly on his horse.
Ji Zeyu also led his horse, looked up at the owl who was sitting on the horse, and asked, "I heard that your mother-in-law is back, is it convenient to go to your house to eat and drink?" ”
"The palace is so big, isn't there a place for the two of us to eat and drink? Don't be verbose. Let's go. ”
Ji Zeyu didn't ask any more, got on the horse and followed Xiao Xiao to the palace, and the two drank together in the study of the outer courtyard until midnight, they were both drunk, and slept on the warm kang in the study.
And Qin Yining also caught up with Qin Huaiyuan in the evening of the next day, and told Qin Huaiyuan everything about yesterday, and finally said worriedly: "Father, are we really guilty of the Lumen family?" ”
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "The Lumen family was already a big family as early as the Northern Hebei Kingdom, and their economic strength was unfathomable, so it is probably not an exaggeration to say that they are rich and rival the country. At the beginning, because the Lu family was loyal to the saint and provided grain, grass and silver for the rebel army, the Great Zhou had the ability to destroy the Northern Ji Kingdom, which shows the current power of their family. ”
"That Mrs. Lu, although she is only from a side branch of the Lu family, but even if it is a side branch, in the capital of the Great Zhou, as long as the surname is Lu, you must be careful when intersecting with her."
Hearing this, Qin Yining frowned thoughtfully, pondered for a moment before saying worriedly: "Father, I'm afraid that my actions yesterday have already convicted Mrs. Lu and the eldest princess of Anyang. You say, will I inadvertently provoke the Lu family? Hurt our family? I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for our family. ”
Although she did not regret her decision, she was also worried about the Qin family.
After all, the Qin family had just gained a foothold in the Great Zhou, so how could they be the enemy of a big family like the Lumen family?
Qin Huai saw that it was rare for her daughter to look so wizened, and couldn't help laughing.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten what your father told you before? Don't think so much about the future, just do what you think is right, and the father will help you when something happens. When we come to this world, we don't come to suffer sins and be wronged. No matter how powerful the Lumen family is, what can it do? ”
Qin Yining looked at Qin Huaiyuan's hearty smiling face, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What my father said is that I was stubborn." No matter how strong the enemy is, we can't back down, not to mention that I believe that with my father's talent, it will be a matter of time before we become a generation of famous ministers. ”
The father and daughter talked happily with each other, just like when they were in Dayan before.
Qin Huai is far from having a son, only an only daughter like Qin Yining, who naturally spoils her to the top of his heart.
And Qin Yining has never been a pampered and arrogant person, she is not stable and open-minded in line with her age, and Qin Huaiyuan can say some of her own opinions no matter what court affairs she says, the father and daughter can really talk about it, so that Qin Huaiyuan wants to be more and more kind to her daughter, so as to make up for the pain she endured when she was young.
Two days later, there were some rumors outside.
I heard that Mrs. Lu and the fourth lady of the Qin family did not agree, and there was a discord for a long time, Mrs. Lu heard that the courtyard where the Qin family lives now was rented, and she actually threatened to buy the house, even if it was vacant, she would not rent it to the Qin family, and let the Qin family know that it was powerful, and not everyone could be guilty of one acre and three points of land in the capital.
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news.
"It's really interesting. This Mrs. Lu is very fun, and I will not be so boring when I have her in the capital in the future. ”
Seeing Qin Yining like this, Bingtang couldn't help frowning and said: "The girl is too lenient, you offended Mrs. Lu, and the angry Mrs. Lu wants to drive away the Qin family, you said that this matter has reached the ears of the old lady, the lady and the master, do you still have good fruits to eat?" I don't know how to think about countermeasures, and I still have the leisure to praise Mrs. Lu here? ”
