Chapter 14 The Collapse of the Building
Even if Ruan Niang really said that the prince would marry her? On a whim, she was sad about the appearance of the county lord of Qiulu, and also saw the distance between her and the prince, it turned out that the difference between her and the prince every morning was not a gauze tent, but the difference between the identity of the king of Yuyang and the abandoned baby of Jishengtang above ten thousand people under one person.
The prince was surprised, this was the first time in three years that Qiqi showed disobedience to him, and every word pierced his heart like a steel nail.
"Qiqi, you ......" The prince's heart was like a knife, and he clenched his silver teeth.
The prince was about to say something, but he saw Bai Su panting and walked in: "Lord, Your Majesty will enter the palace immediately!" ”
"This king knows, go out and wait first." The prince frowned in displeasure.
"The chariot sent by His Majesty is already waiting outside the door, let the prince go over immediately!" Bai Su couldn't hide his anxiety.
Seeing that the situation was different from the past, King Yuyang glanced at Qiqi unwillingly, and handed the watermelon tourmaline into Qiqi's hands without saying anything, and said in a low voice: "Wait for me to come back." With that, he walked out.
Sitting in the chariot, the anxious look on King Yuyang's face was swept away, replaced by a frightening calm. Qiqi was angry with him, and he thought of it; His Majesty was urgently summoned to the palace, and he also thought of it; He didn't expect Qiqi to be so painful that he didn't want to see him. He has Qiqi in his heart, which is true, and even Qiqi is the most important person in his heart. But there are some things, if he doesn't do it, neither he nor Qiqi can survive in the world.
From Ruan Niang to Chunyan, nearly half of the people in his house are minions cultivated by his mother, and his revival of Liu Nanguo is not so much voluntary as forced. Ruan Niang thinks that he is sincerely reviving Liu Nanguo, and pretends to be finally the big beam; The royal brother thinks he is his confidant. But in fact, the King of Yuyang has always been loyal to only himself. This time he entered the palace, in the eyes of Ruan Niang and others, he wanted to deliberately anger Emperor Liang and be demoted to a concubine, so as to cause everyone in the eight heirlooms to endanger themselves, and in the eyes of the imperial brother, it was a trick to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. The exquisite thinking given by his mother and the foresight given by his father allowed him to protect himself in these two opposing forces. And all he can do is protect himself.
Superfluous, you can't even protect Qiqi! King Yuyang was full of resentment, his hands were clenched, and his fingers sank into the flesh of his palms without the slightest pain. Qiqi was originally a chess piece for the restoration of the country, and he and her met and separated, all because of the remnants of Liu Nanguo!
It turns out that before you get it, you are doomed to lose!
Qiqi was still determined to be ruthless at first, but three days later, he still didn't see the prince come back, so he began to worry.
Not only Qiqi, the people of the palace are panicked, and there are rumors in Yijing City, some people have realized that the mountain rain is coming, and in order to clear up the relationship, they have taken several days of leave, and even worse, they have not taken leave, and they have disappeared. Fortunately, Xue Sheng Ruan Niang managed it well and didn't let them take away anything valuable.
At noon three days later, Ruan Niang was taking Liu Shiyi and Liu Qiqi to eat in Liu Shiyi's bedroom.
When the three of them were silent, Bai Su ran in and saluted Ruan Niang: "The Yulin Zhonglang who was routinely searched by the holy decree last time came here, saying that he had taken a fancy to a house in the suburbs of Beijing, which was short of five hundred taels of silver, and my father made up two hundred taels and asked Aunt Ruan if he had?" ”
Ruan Niang knew that the prince would design to provoke His Majesty, but she didn't expect the effect to be so fast, and deliberately made a shocked look: "This is strange, how can there be a reason for Yulin Zhonglang to ask for silver in the prince's mansion in the future?" ”
Bai Su looked embarrassed, walked to Ruan Niang's side and bowed down and lowered his voice: "Aunt Ruan, this time is different from the past, listening to the news from the palace, the prince has angered His Majesty for some reason, and he has been detained in the palace for the past few days, and the palace is still waiting for these Yulin Zhonglang generals who can face the saint to find out the news!" ”
Ruan Niang sighed heavily: "I remember that this Lord Li is an old acquaintance of the prince, when he was ordered to conduct a routine search some time ago, he still passed the news to the palace, why was he the first to take advantage of the fire to rob it today?" ”
Ruan Niang made a look of grief and helplessness, and Liu Qiqi saw it, and her heart was as cold as an ancient well.
Ruan Niang untied the purse around her waist, took out a silver ticket, and handed it to Bai Su: "In the past few days, people in the house have been panicking, I am afraid that someone will have a crooked mind, so I took the ladder money I have saved in the past few years with me, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today...... There are one hundred taels here, and in one box of the eleventh young master, there are twenty or thirty taels of broken silver. ”
Bai Su was so anxious that he almost forgot the number of etiquette, and he didn't care about hiding Qiqi and Eleven, and said: "Even if the eldest lady takes out the remaining broken silver, she can't make up the rest for a while, and Lord Li is still waiting in the front hall, so I can only go to the prince's house to find it first!" ”
Ruan Niang glanced at Bai Su: "Nonsense, how could you have turned over the master's house?" The prince treats us well, let's fill in this money for the time being, and when the prince comes back in half of the day, he will definitely double the reward. ”
Bai Su sighed helplessly.
Liu Qiqi had already put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Bai Su's situation, and took off something from his neck, not the side, it was the watermelon tourmaline sent by the lord of Qiulu County. Liu Qiqi was angry with the prince at first and refused to answer, but now the prince has not heard from him for a few days, and he has already sworn several times in his heart that if the prince can return safely, he will definitely settle his past suspicions with him.
Liu Qiqi put the watermelon tourmaline on the table, stroked the red rope tied with the tourmaline with his hand, his eyes were full of water, and he was stunned: "Bai Su, take this tourmaline as a pawn, if it can be worth five hundred taels of silver, don't spend Ruan Niang and Uncle Xue's ladder money, and the prince will redeem it again after he returns." ”
Having said that, when will the prince come back? Qiqi felt a faint pain in his heart.
Liu Qiqi said, and handed the tourmaline to Bai Su through Ruan Niang's hand, and said: "Go in front of Lord Li and tell him that this is a gift from the county lord of Qiulu, which can not only make him appreciate it more, but also let him know that the palace is not very profitable, so as not to taste the sweetness, and come back later." ”
Ruan Niang couldn't help but secretly admire when she heard these words, the eyes of the prince and Du Huainan are really good, this seventh lady is not only good-looking, but also so smart at a young age. sneered secretly, such a smart woman would also be mistaken by love, and unconsciously become a pawn for them to retaliate against the beam!
"Yes." Bai Su took the watermelon tourmaline and withdrew.
Liu Qiqi looked at the remaining half of the osmanthus cake in his dish for a long time, filling it into his mouth, but it was bitter and tasteless.
