Chapter 103: The Emperor's Explicit Request

In the dark night, Zixuan Pavilion, Liu Piao had insomnia, and after she came out of Runze Villa, she was restless, and kept thinking about Runzeyu's words, that he didn't live long and needed her rescue.

Every word he said that night was in her head. She didn't know if she was right or wrong in making such a decision, if she was too cruel not to help him, if she was too ruthless.

Maybe Runzeyu must hate her very much at this time, even if she lets her go, she hates herself in her heart.

She didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't calm her down. The night is very quiet, and the prime minister's house is also very quiet, and it is the time to fall asleep.

In the silence of the night, the sound of the piano came from afar, and in this night I don't know who was playing that pleasant music, which had never been heard before.

"Who plays the piano at night?" Liu Piaoyi raised his feet in confusion and gently opened the door of the red lacquer room. Except for a bright moon overhead, there is no one else. Thinking about it, I was too worried, so I softly closed the door.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" A male voice outside the door sounded, and Qingyue's voice was like a bluestone in a water stream.

Liu Piaoyi pushed open the door, only to see a man sitting on the branch of a peach tree not far away, and after a closer look, he realized that it was his third cousin Zhang Minxiu, and the cold moonlight shone on his body, which looked like the person in the painting.

recognized him, Liu Piao politely called him, "Third cousin." ”

"I couldn't sleep, so I walked around the house, so I simply hid in this tree and watched the moonlight." The man jumped and landed safely in three steps and two steps.

Liu Piaoyi looked up at the starry sky, the moon was getting fuller and fuller, and it was only a few days before the full moon, and her eyes were dark when she thought of this.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Min Xiu asked suddenly, staring at her all the time.

Liu Piao's eyes were cold, he pursed his lips and didn't speak, just shook his head silently.

"It's okay to talk to my third cousin, my cousin won't talk nonsense." Min Xiu wanted to know, with a smile on the corner of his lips.

Her curled eyelashes shook slightly, and she smiled faintly, "It's really okay, I'm back in the room, and the third cousin has returned to rest early, so it's time to accompany the third young grandmother." ”

She curtsied, turned around and walked straight in. But she didn't know that Min Xiu's smiling eyes behind her instantly darkened and were melancholy after her words.

Back in the room, Liu Piaoyi couldn't fall asleep, only the faint sound of the piano could make her take a nap.

As soon as she got up the next day and freshened up, Wan Xiu brought her maid Xiaoyin to deliver white fungus lotus seed soup, which was unexpected by Liu Piaoyi.

Miss Wan Xiu, who had always looked at her unkindly, came to visit today, and Liu Piaoyi guessed her intentions with doubts, but generously invited her to take a seat.

"Xiaoyin's freshly boiled soup, Miss Biao should eat it while it's hot, this is my sister's intention." There was an unknown smile on the corner of Wan Xiu's mouth, and she couldn't see her sincerity.

The maids of Zixuan Pavilion, Chunlin and Hua Ying, looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Miss Liu's reaction.

"What, come and see if I'm thin or fat?"

Liu Piaoyi's tone was slightly raised, cold as an ice cellar, and she was indifferent to her kindness.

Wan Xiu smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and stared at her with a pair of eyes, "Of course, I came to see how you are still living so well, it's okay to be robbed, but it's really a blessing, and your life is so good, so why don't I come to visit as a sister," she smiled strangely, "My sister specially asked Xiaoyin to boil the soup and give it to you in person, Miss Biao should give you a face, drink it." ”

In such a tone, Chunlin was even more worried that there was something wrong with the soup, so she couldn't help but snort softly, "Miss." It seems to remind Miss Liu not to drink.

Liu Piao's eyes bent, and he looked at Wan Xiu with a smile, and thanked her with a face, "My sister is so kind, how can I live up to my sister." ”

She picked up the soup bowl and picked up the spoon and wanted to drink, Chunlin was anxious and exhaled again, "Miss." ”

Liu Piaoyi smiled faintly and said to Chunlin, "Miss Wan Xiu's kindness can't be disappointed, besides, how can she harm me, she will definitely not do anything in the soup to hurt me, if that's the case, Miss Wan Xiu won't send it herself, right?" ”

When he said "is it not", Liu Piaoyi stared at Wan Xiu, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, Miss Wanxiu understood this, and immediately smiled, "Sister really understands, sister is a good intention." ”

"So good, then I'll drink it." Liu Piaoyi smiled again, and the meaning of that smile was really unclear.

Coming out of Zixuan Pavilion, Wan Xiu no longer had a smile on his face, and his cold eyes were full of disgust.

Knowing that Ling Xinan chased Yangzhou together, her heart hated that woman even more. When that woman was there, Ling Xinan wouldn't look at her more, and she blamed all her anger on that woman.

And Ling Mansion, Ling Xinan went to Yangzhou privately this time to make Ling Yunyi angry, and on that day, he learned that Ling Xinan went to Yangzhou and became angry. After coming back this time, he thought about Ling Xinan's punishment and confinement.

Ling Yunyi taught his son not to lose himself for the sake of a woman, whether it was Ling Xiyue or Ling Xinan, it was the same.

It has been a few times, and Ling Xinan has done something that Ling Yunyi can't tolerate for Liu Piaoyi. Last time Xiangshan Peach Blossom View, he already knew it clearly for Liu Piaoyi and Zhao Xuhao, and this time he went to Yangzhou for Liu Piaoyi.

Although Ling Yunyi's previous impression of Liu Piaoyi was okay, and it didn't stop the two of them from interacting, but now Ling Yunyi didn't want his son to be bent on that woman.

That stunning woman had caused too much trouble, which was not what Ling Yunyi wanted to see.

ordered confinement for three days, even if Ling Xinan roared in the room, no one outside dared to open the door.

"Kumquat, Kumquat ......"

Ling Xinan kept calling in the house, and the kumquat outside the door had no choice but to persuade, "Third young master, you can stay in peace for three days, lest the old man get angry and the kumquat can't do anything." ”

Speaking of Zhao Xuhao, the Zhao Mansion has been asking people in the mansion to look for Lin Weiyu since his disappearance, and even posted the news of Lin Weiyu's disappearance all over the capital. I also asked the people in Jingzhao Yamen to help find it, but I still found nothing.

Lin Weiyu, who is in Danzhou, has long hidden his identity and disguised himself a little, and the appearance of a village woman is difficult to recognize.

She was bent on killing the person who hurt her that day, and she didn't want to return to Zhao Mansion again. How can a person who wants to hide his identity be easily found out.

Lin Weiyu's disappearance made Lin Youtan, who was in the mansion of Feng Bao, the master of ceremonies, panic. One night, she quietly came to Zhao's mansion and saw that the people in the mansion were still looking for Lin Weiyu, and knew that Lin Weiyu had not returned to the mansion. But she is also secretly looking for it, and she goes out of Feng's Mansion every day to hang out. In order not to let the people in the Feng Mansion doubt her, she could only come out to buy and buy as if she was a habitual.

Lin Weiyu's disappearance, Zhao Xuhao was like a nobody, and after his body recovered, he often went out of the house and was excited in the land of fireworks. I played until late at night and got drunk before returning home.

One night, Zhao Xuhao returned again, walking alone on the street, and suddenly a woman fell from the sky in front of him.

When Zhao Xuhao saw it, he was extremely excited, the beauty who blocked his way was none other than Lin Youtan, the sister who broke into his house that night to find Lin Weiyu.

Seeing Zhao Xuhao's behavior, Lin Youtan was extremely angry in his heart, and immediately gave Zhao Xuhao a slap. scolded him, "My sister is missing, your father-in-law as a sister doesn't care at all, and even stays in the land of fireworks, you don't deserve to let your sister fall in love with you." ”

Lin Youtan sneered, "My sister was really blind at the beginning, ...... for you"

The words of betraying the organization, Lin Youtan did not say it.

Zhao Xuhao was slapped and did not get angry, but wanted to step forward and hug Lin Youtan with a look on his face, but Lin Youtan waved his hand again and slapped him. This slap made Zhao Xuhao sober up a lot, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't get angry, the anger hurts your body, everyone in the family is looking for her, and she hasn't stopped, and you can't blame me if you don't find it, right?" ”

There was a hint of helplessness in Zhao Xuhao's eyebrows, as if he had done his best.

Lin Youtan put down his cruel words.

"If you Zhao Xuhao can't find your sister, I, Lin Youtan, will never let you go."

After saying that, the woman disappeared, as if she had never appeared in front of Zhao Xuhao, so she flew away and disappeared into the night.

Zhao Xuhao was stunned in place, and the whole person who was stunned was awake. Thinking about the woman's tone, she wasn't joking.

After returning home, Zhao Xuhao was always worried, afraid that Lin Youtan would come to him for trouble. also made the people in the house step up their search for Lin Weiyu.

Palace.

Jian Xiu came back from Yangzhou to meet the emperor this time, but the task was not completed, so he had to ask for guilt.

The emperor on the dragon chair in the imperial study only frowned and did not get angry, nor did he condemn himself. It is inevitable that such a difficult task will fail.

The emperor stepped down from the dragon chair, walked up to Jian Xiu in front of him, and looked at him with a smile, "I won't blame you for the crime, but you can do something else for me." ”

Jian Xiu hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

The emperor smiled leisurely, "Tomorrow, I will bring Miss Liu into the palace to have tea with me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jian Xiu immediately frowned deeply and did not agree.

"What, no?" The emperor lowered his eyes.

Jian Xiu gave his hand again, "Your Majesty, Weichen has already said that Ji'er is already a minister." He looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him and replied with a firm look in his eyes.

Even if he understood what the emperor thought, as a courtier, Jian Xiu still treated it calmly and was not arrogant.

The emperor was stunned, and then smiled, "I don't want anything, I just want to talk to Miss Liu, chat, it's so simple, can't it?" ”

Jian Xiu's face was dark and he did not answer.

The emperor smiled again, "Otherwise, you can also take Miss Liu around the palace casually, she has never entered the palace, maybe she can't say it if she wants to take a look." ”

"Your Majestyβ€”" Jian Xiu didn't want to agree.

The emperor patted Jian Xiu's shoulder and stopped him, "It's decided, let her come tomorrow, I can wait." ”

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jian Xiu soaked himself in the bathtub, upset and irritable.

What should the emperor do if he asks him so, provoke the wrath of the saint or accommodate the holy will?

The hesitation made him unable to decide whether to ask for his memory.

When Wen Si came in to serve him to change clothes, he asked expressionlessly, "Can you rest?" ”

Wen Si looked at Jian Xiu, and saw that the young master's handsome face was expressionless as always, and if he looked closely, he could see a trace of worry.

"I shouldn't have rested yet." Wen Si replied.

After putting on his robe, Jian Xiu calmly went to Zixuan Pavilion, and in the dark night, he saw a figure shaking in the garden.
