Chapter 55: Isn't Business Peaceful (2)
When Mrs. Huan returned to Nanyuan, she did not see Mr. Yiyuan.
The little maid who was serving outside came in and said, I saw Mr. Yiyuan leave in a hurry, and I don't know why, I probably went back to the front hall at this time.
"What is the temporary matter on His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" Juan Niang was suspicious, and then said: "Madame, wait a minute, the slave maid will go and invite again!" β
She was about to leave, but Mrs. Huan came back to her senses, but stopped her.
"That's it." Mrs. Huan closed her eyes and shook her head, without saying another word.
Juan Niang frowned, staring at her master tightly, and the worry in her heart became more and more serious.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Juan Niang asked in a low voice, "But what happened?" β
Mrs. Huan shook her head.
"I'm just tired." She said.
Juan Niang wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Huan said: "You go to the front to take care of it for me first, I'll take a break, and I'll pass." β
Juan Niang couldn't rest assured, so she had to go back three times in one step. Seeing her figure slowly disappear into the rain, the breath that Mrs. Huan held in her heart suddenly poured out. She thought about what she saw in the Lixing Building, and her whole body trembled violently uncontrollably.
Xiangyao was wet with rain and hurried back to Xiyuan to change clothes. However, as soon as he entered the room, his eyes sharpened, and Huo Ran became vigilant.
- In the room, there was a thick smell of blood.
He slowed his pace, stepped forward and picked up the sword on the shelf, and then rushed into the inner room with a brisk stride.
But the situation in front of him fixed him in the same place.
The west window was wide open, and the cold wind sent layers of bean-sized raindrops into the house, and under the window, there was a pool of blood and rain, and a man covered in blood.
- One, a man without a left hand.
The sword in his hand was thrown to the ground, and Xiang Yao shouted 'old-timer', took three steps and made two steps, and came to Chaorong's side.
"What's going on?" There was horror and anger in his eyes, "Who did it!" β
Hearing his voice, Chao Rong reluctantly opened his eyes.
He covered the hole in his chest with his right hand, and in addition to that, there were six other sword wounds all over his body, like springs, gurgling out of blood.
Xiang Yao stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to touch him.
"You ......" Chao Rong gasped deeply. Just saying such a word made him feel deeply overwhelmed.
His gaze fell on Xiang Yao, looking at him at a loss and looking at him eagerly. He originally had a lot of things to tell Xiang Yao and a lot of things he wanted to entrust to him, but he didn't have so much time for himself.
Chao Rong trembled, removed his right hand from his chest, and grabbed Xiang Yao's collar.
His eyes were red and round, and he wept blood: "You kid, I'm ...... Take, take! β
Xiang Yao was stunned for a moment, followed and cried.
He hurriedly called out to his master, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hear him a moment later, "Master, Master, tell me who hurt you like this!" Who exactly! β
Chaorong swallowed several times before his throat could make a sound again. He confessed with a dying breath: "I exist in the back room, and the baggage in the room...... There is, there is my manuscript, although it is not up to ...... Your brother's, but to teach you, there is still a surplus ......"
"For the teacher...... After becoming a teacher, I can't teach you personally, you can only learn it yourself, and as for the completion of the study...... It's all up to your understanding......"
"Master, don't worry! Apprentice ......" Xiang Yao wiped his face fiercely, "Apprentice will never disgrace you!" β
Chao Rong used the last of his strength, glared at him, and pulled him to himself: "Tell Xiangyu, tell her, I'...... I have ββ! β
"Masterββ!"
The rain is getting lighter.
In front of the Jiyang County Mansion, Mrs. Huan was late, Xiang Tao personally held an umbrella and took her to his side, looking at her pale and heavy face, he couldn't help frowning.
He lowered his voice and asked in her ear, "What's the matter, who made you unhappy?" β
Mrs. Huan raised her eyes to look at him, and slowly brought a light smile on her lips, shaking her head.
She said: "When a daughter marries as an adult, she is always reluctant to be a mother." β
Xiang Tao seemed to believe it, and after a long time, he said to her again: "We have a good time." β
Mrs. Huan's eyebrows moved imperceptibly, she hung her head, no one could see her expression, Xiang Tao only saw her nodding.
He dissolved some mixed emotions in his heart and shook her hand heavily.
The sedan chair took the bride out of her mother's house and went away with the groom.
It wasn't until the welcoming team could no longer be seen that Mrs. Huan was pulled by Xiang Tao and returned to the house.
The thick Zhumen closed behind her back, and the muffled voice was like a drum beating on her heart, which sealed her life.
Xiang Tao also had to go to Lixing Building to deal with government affairs, and after instructing Juan Niang Haosheng to send his wife back to Nanyuan, he parted ways with her.
Mrs. Huan asked for an umbrella.
Juan Niang was not at ease, "Madam, there are slaves and maids to hold an umbrella for you, you don't have to work by yourself!" β
Mrs. Huan still brought the umbrella over.
"Yu'er is leaving, I feel depressed, you go back first, I'll go to the garden by myself and relax."
This reason is really speechless, Juan Niang also feels at this time that Xu is too careful, and Mrs. is wrong, most of them are just the reluctance to send her daughter to marry for the first time, and nothing else.
Thinking so, she told her to go back early, to be careful not to suffer the wind, and then left first.
After standing alone for a while, Lady Huan slowly turned her gaze and looked in the direction of the Five Beasts Pavilion to the north.
She glanced south again, and at last she took a step towards the north.
The palace of the king of Chu is bustling.
Before the wedding banquet was over, Pei Yao sat alone on the couch in the room with a fan in her hand, feeling rarely nervous.
Tonight, she closed her fan and got married, she didn't know what was waiting for her, but she ......
Is it really going to get that far?
She exhaled slowly, and no matter how much she controlled her fingertips, there were still small tremors. She trembled and took out a packet of medicinal powder from her waist sealβa medicine she had been seeking with her nest a few days ago, which could promote the heat of love between men and women.
To take revenge and send yourself to the bed of another enemy? If this kind of thing is not fulfilled without this package of medicine, she will definitely not be able to do this.
His fingers clutched the powder tightly, and it turned blue-white. Chao Rong said that this substance is not strong, but it is very effective, and only a little bit can make the love between men and women warm and lingering.
With just a little bit, she can abandon all her dignity and pride and throw herself into Xiao Di's arms......
"Squeakββ!"
The door was opened, Pei Yao was excited, and before he could react, he stuffed the medicinal powder back into the waist seal, and held the fan with both hands upright, blocking his face.
Xiao Di walked in alone, wearing a red and dark wedding dress, and in the ambiguous candle flame, his face seemed to be more and more gloomy.
To her surprise, Xiao Di entered the door and didn't say much, and the piles and piles were all in accordance with the rules in the cave room, inscribed poems, fans, and closed together. Xu was too calm and calm, Pei Yaowei forgot about his nervousness for a while, and was curious, eager to see what kind of poem he mentioned on the fan.
But just when she was about to take the fan to watch, Xiao Di was quick and took the fan away before her.
"Your Highness...... She was stunned, a little crying and laughing, "This fan is mine." β
Xiao Di's face did not change: "It's mine now." β
After a pause, he raised his head, and a pair of deep eyes looked at her fixedly: "You are mine too." β
Pei Yao's heart suddenly burst.
"Yes, I ......" No matter how awkward it was, she still changed her name, "Concubine...... From today on, she will be your princess, and she will be with her in life and death. β
Xiao Di was silent.
After a while, he said, "You are a wise man, and you should know why this king wants to marry you." β
Pei Yao said in her heart, then have you ever known, why do I want to marry you?
"Yes," she lowered her eyebrows and said slowly, "Your Highness married me just to give another person a request." β
Xiao Di's eyes moved, and he nodded slowly, "Yes, what this king wants from you is not life and death, but to keep to himself, to be sensible and obedient." β
He got up and moved to her side, his slender fingers gently curling her chin so that she had to raise her eyes to meet her own.
"You are obedient, this Chu Wangfu, you are the only master mother, the scenery is sheltered, and this king will not miss you." His tone was light, but there was a power to restrain his mind, "On the contrary, you are not sensible......"
"Your Highness,"
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Pei Yao's words.
She stared at him steadily, with just the right amount of flattery and attachment in her eyes.
"Your Highness rest assured," she said, "the concubine should do her best for His Highness, and after death, she will not dare to disobey His Highness's order." β
Xiao Di let go of his hand.
He summoned Instant Rain and instructed her to carefully receive the fan into his bedroom, Instant Rain received the order, his eyes wandered between the two, and said carefully: "Then Your Highness and the princess...... Settle in early? β
Pei Yao's heart rose to his throat. She was afraid of revealing her true emotions, so she didn't dare to look at Xiao Di, but in her selfish heart, she sincerely hoped to hear a word from him to leave.
However, Xiao Di disappointed her again.
He nodded to the instantaneous rain, and the little girl retreated with interest, and before leaving, her face was still a little excited.
Pei Yaowei took a deep breath, presumably he should have come, but he couldn't escape after all.
"Concubine Rong went to change her clothes."
After that, as if she was resigned to her fate, she planned to take the medicine powder while she was changing her clothes, but before she could take two steps, Xiao Di suddenly said, "You don't have to prepare." β
Pei Yaowei didn't understand what he meant for a while, and looked at him suspiciously.
"You're my man," Xiao Di told her, "but not my woman." β
The difference of one word, for Pei Yaowei, is an instant bliss and an instant hell.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiang Tao finished his work in the Lixing Building, and then went to Nanyuan as usual.
Before returning to Mrs. Huan's room, he first turned around to see his little daughter Fangshi, and was pulled by the little girl and wrote with her for a while. By the time I finally coaxed the child to sleep, it was already the middle of the moon.
Outside Mrs. Huan's room, Juan Niang paced back and forth with a sad face. Seeing that the county prince was coming, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him.
