Chapter 43: The Water Falls and the Stone Emerges (1)
Early in the morning of the fourth day, as soon as the gate of Lingcheng opened, Xiao Di left with his men.
Xiao Jingchi finally let him go back safely for this 'uncle'. Xiao Di understands that if we say goodbye and meet again, there will be no more uncles and nephews.
A few days after returning to the dust, Instant Rain came to report to him, saying that Xin'er had just arrived from the north, and the princess had arrived at the Zhao Mansion safely, so please rest assured.
"This is there?" When Xiao Di heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "It's only been a few days?" ”
Instant rain said helplessly: "There is no way, for the illness of the prince of Yasukuni, the princess was uneasy, not long after leaving the city, she took Mr. Yiyuan to take the first step, and hurried to the north forest. ”
Xiao Yu closed the book and reprimanded 'nonsense'.
Instant rain silently didn't talk, and after a while, he said: "In addition, Your Highness, there is another matter." ”
"At the other end of Yuze Palace, it is said that the emperor's spirit has become more and more poor recently, and Princess Erqi passed yesterday."
Gentle ......
Xiao Di's face was slightly pale, and he was relieved.
"Hmm." He replied lightly, reopened the scroll, and didn't seem to take the matter seriously, but said, "Go and go." ”
Instant Rain was somewhat surprised by his reaction.
It turned out that earlier, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already relented and asked Li Lin to go back to Mangyuan, and secretly recruited some capable people to raise them in case of emergency. She also thought that His Royal Highness had changed sex, and finally listened to the persuasion and understood the importance of this mysticism. And now, Jiguang has been used by Xiao Zhu, if another princess is added...... I'm afraid that even if Li Yan can find Wen Yan, it will be difficult to compete with him.
She thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Your Highness, aren't you worried? The Emperor, let's ...... Just stand still and do nothing? ”
Xiao Di shook his head.
Xiao Zhu's side, there was no need for him to do anything anymore. Now most of his energy has been put on two people - Jiguang and Yuwen Zhijun.
He asked, "Is there a reply from the other side of the silent speech?" ”
"Not yet."
He bowed his head and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first." As he spoke, he did not forget to instruct: "Keep an eye on the movements of the princess carefully, and tell me immediately if there is anything." ”
Instant rain blessed the body and slowly retired.
Compared with Xiao Di's futile return at King Ning's place, Pei Yao's side is a different scene.
On the first day of his arrival in Beilin, Mr. Yiyuan checked the pulse of his son Zhao Xun, and then only said a word that reassured the Yasukuni couple, and Li Yujian's heart was relieved.
In less than three days, Mr. used only seven pairs of medicines and two injections, and the child, who was originally lying on the bed, was able to get out of bed in a blink of an eye.
It was at this time that Pei Yaowei took advantage of Zhao Ju's happiness to invite their husband and wife to their residence and confessed their identities.
"Niangniang, slave maid look, since you talked to Yasukuni Gong that day, your mood has been getting better and better these days!" Qingchen closed the door of the room, blocked the surging cold wind in the north, brought her a few plates of melons and fruits, and teased: "If it goes on like this, the slaves and maids will have to worry about Your Highness!" ”
Pei Yao glanced at her with a smile, "What are you worried about him?" ”
"I'm afraid that you are in Beilin brother and sister Gong, and you are not happy to go back!"
She shook her head and scolded with a smile, calmed down for a while, and recalled the situation when she recognized Zhao a few days ago, and felt a feeling of nostalgia again.
"My cousin has always been the most rigorous, I didn't expect him to believe my words so easily......"
Qingchen said: "Is that your relationship with Yasukuni good?" Is it difficult to talk about some privacy that others don't know? What's more, there is Qingtan on the side to help you testify! ”
“…… Niangniang, the slave maid can also see that a person like Yasukuni Gong who is not smiling has a tense face and frowns even in front of the sickbed of the prince, and has never shed a single tear, but the little words that called you that day actually cried...... It can be seen that he really loves you! ”
Pei Yaowei nodded, ironing in her heart, and then weighing Qingchen's words at this time, she found that she did have a little bit of happiness.
While the two were talking, Yu Xu entered the inner hall and said, "Niangniang, the supplements stewed for the prince are all ready, and the slave maid will send them now?" ”
Pei Yaowei turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, thought about it, and told her to fetch the things, and she wanted to see Zhao Xun in person.
When passing through Su Ling Zhai, he accidentally met Mr. Yiyuan outside the hospital.
"Sir?" Pei Yaowei walked over curiously to greet him, "It's windy today, why are you standing here?" As she spoke, she looked left and right, and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?" ”
Mr. Yiyuan shook his head, and only said that he had just passed by and passed by here, and somehow stood down.
When Pei Yao heard this, she turned her head and stared at the courtyard in front of her for a long time, then turned back to Yu Xu and said, let her send the things to Zhao Xun, and stand here with her husband.
Yu Xu didn't say much, and took the order to go.
She turned her head and saw Mr. Yiyuan looking at her without saying a word.
Pei Yao smiled and walked towards the courtyard gate, and asked at the same time, "Sir, do you know what kind of place this Su Lingzhai is?" ”
Behind her, Mr. Yiyuan shook his head, and then remembered that she couldn't see, and said again.
"This ......," she said, reaching for the courtyard door, "it was the residence of Lingqiu Marquis Zhao Xun." ”
Mr. Yiyuan's heart moved, and a creaking sound slowly rose - the door opened.
When Pei Yaowei was young, he once returned to Beilin Province with his mother, when his uncle Xiangong was still alive, because of the absurdity of his uncle's youth, his uncle has always had a knot in his heart, hate, resentment and worry, after he disappeared, he ordered someone to lock up this Su Lingzhai, and strictly ordered everyone in the house not to enter, let alone mention a word about Zhao Xian.
It was still my aunt who was bold and bold, and secretly took the key from my uncle and secretly stuffed it to my mother, so that my mother came here at night to mourn.
“…… At that time, I was playful, and when I saw my mother quietly going out with someone on her back at night, I became curious, and pretended to sleep in front of her, and when she left, I followed her......
Since the death of Xian Gongxian, Zhao is in charge of the house, and he has removed the lock of this Su Lingzhai. With a respect, he ordered the slaves to come and sweep every day, just as if the Marquis of Lingqiu had traveled far away and had not returned.
When the two entered the house, Pei Yao talked to himself for a long time, looked back at Mr. Yiyuan, and suddenly patted his head: "Look at my brain, I said this plainly, I should have asked Mr. first-
My identity and Qingchen should have already told you, right? ”
When she first arrived in Beilin, before Zhao Xun was sick, she blurted out 'cousin' to Zhao in a hurry. Because of that light voice, Zhao didn't notice it, but Mr. Yiyuan, who was standing beside her, heard it very clearly.
At that time, she reacted, first shocked, and then saw that Mr. Yiyuan did not have any reaction, so she also had a spectrum in her heart.
At this moment, Mr. Yiyuan heard what she asked, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Before leaving the earthly capital, I got the news of His Highness." ”
Pei Yaowei nodded.
"Princess, you ......"
Separated by a layer of hats, she didn't know what Mr. Yiyuan's expression was at the moment, but just listening to his tone, she was full of desire to speak.
After waiting for a long time, she took the initiative to ask, "What does Mr. want to ask?" ”
Mr. Yiyuan opened his mouth, but finally shook his head.
“…… It's nothing. He said.
Regarding the affairs of Xiang Yu, Zhao Qingchou, and Pei Yaowei, he had many questions and tried to confide in him, but even if he had been away from Beijing for so long, to this day, he was still not ready.
Even for Xiao Di's request, he couldn't go to the Wen Mansion to ask Princess Qi for the truth.
Why did these three people toss and turn, and in the end, only their own daughter is gone?
Is my own daughter really gone?
Or is it like Pei Yao became Xiang Xiang and Xiang Xiang became Zhao Qingchou, light sorrow...... She has also become someone else, living in a place she doesn't know?
These problems tortured him into a trapped beast, drawing the ground as a prison, unable to get out.
“…… Sir, sir? ”
Pei Yao called out casually, he looked back at her, and saw her asking worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”
Mr. Yiyuan shook his head.
He asked, "What did the princess say?" ”
Seeing that he didn't want to say much, Pei Yao didn't ask much, he was in a mood, and said with a faint smile: "I said that this huge Zhao Mansion, Mr. doesn't stand anywhere, but the ghost makes a god stand in front of this Su Lingzhai, I'm afraid it is related to my uncle!" ”
He smiled and said, "They are both children of Xinglin, and they are destined." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional-
"The Marquis of Lingqiu became famous at a young age, and the old man also longed for his style...... It's a pity that providence makes people, and I don't think there is a chance to drink with them......"
Yes, Pei Yao's heart is harmonious, and it is a pity.
Standing in Zhao's room, she couldn't help but think of another person-
Shen Tingru.
"Huh! That's right......"
Seeing that she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and went to the study, and Mr. Yiyuan became curious, so he also chased after her.
Pei Yaowei rummaged through the boxes containing calligraphy and paintings under the wall, and finally found what she was looking for in the third one.
It's a painting.
A painting she had seen when she was young, and after she was reborn, she saw a real person in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She unfolded the scroll, and behind her, Mr. Yiyuan saw it and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Huh? The person in this painting is not ......"
Pei Yaowei nodded.
"You read that right." She said: "The person in the painting you have seen is Mrs. Huan. ”
"Or, you should call her Mrs. Shen."
As early as in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when she first saw Shen Tingru, she felt that this person was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her for a long time.
It wasn't until later, when Chao Rong appeared, that Mrs. Huan became Mrs. Shen, and she blessed her soul -
But isn't it, it was in this Su Ling Zhai that I naughtily turned out this picture scroll, pointed to the person on the painting and asked my mother, who this beautiful sister is, but my mother only sighed, closed the picture scroll, and carefully put it into the box.
"She's your little aunt who hasn't been through the door."
- At that time, my mother said.
