Chapter Fifty-Eight: Let's Go with the Duckweed
Lou Zhen only gave Pei Yaowei such a word, and then, no matter how she asked, she kept silent and refused to answer again.
After a long time, Pei Yao's patience ran out, but her heart was full of doubts: "Heh...... Lou Zhen, since you don't plan to tell me anything, why are you here tonight? ”
She stopped her anxious steps, folded her arms on the table, and looked down at him: "Could it be that you just want to tell me to my face that you know everything, but you just don't plan to say anything?" Isn't it true that you're going to be angry with me? ”
He smiled lightly and said, "There are many things that I can't explain with just one mouth. ”
Pei Yaowei sat down again.
She raised her eyebrows to look at him, raised her chin, and said, "You say it first, I'll listen first, it's an attitude in the end." ”
Lou Zhen shook his head.
He didn't want to say anything, but he asked her, "Greetings, would you like to go with me to a place and meet someone?" ”
She frowned, and a sense of vigilance suddenly appeared on her face.
Lou Zhen told her unhurriedly: "He can solve all the mysteries in your heart." ”
All mysteries?
That's big enough.
After a long pause, she asked, "Who is he?" ”
Lou Zhen looked at her quietly, obviously unintentionally answering.
A sense of deflated powerlessness swelled up in his heart again, Pei Yao sighed, looking at him with hatred and helplessness: "...... Lou Zhen, all these years, what have you ......?"
Where did they all go? What was done?
Isn't it, everyone in the world underestimates the origin of your duckweed boy?
She remembered at this time that she knew Lou Zhen when she was ten years old, and he was fifteen years older than herself, but like her father and second brother, he didn't look like an adult at all. She has lived in the same house with him for more than four years, and from the beginning, she regarded him as a family member, and over time, she forgot that she was not his real family.
The person in front of him seems to know everything about his past and present lives, but how much do I know about him?
"When I was a child, I asked you who you learned from this skill." She said, "You told me that day that you are a self-taught genius who meets by chance. ”
Lou Zhen nodded, and also remembered this: "At that time, you said that I was shameless. ”
Pei Yaowei also nodded.
After a while, she asked again: "Lou Zhen, if I ask again now, will you give me a second answer?" ”
Lou Zhen smiled, and without thinking about it, he shook his head.
Pei Yao's eyes darkened.
"No, it won't." He said, "But if you promise to come with me on this trip, I will take you to the second answer." ”
This......
It's a great temptation.
Pei Yaowei chuckled twice unintentionally, turned the teacup twice with her white fingers, and suddenly pinched the wall of the cup.
She said, "Okay." ”
A neat word made Lou Zhen a little stunned: "Okay? ”
"Good. I promise. She nodded, "But my current identity is more troublesome, and I can't just leave." Here in the Chu Palace, I want to arrange it, you have to give me a few days,"
Lou Zhen had no objection to this, and responded slowly, and the two said a few more words on this matter, and he got up and planned to leave.
Pei Yaowei was still sitting at the table, she didn't mean to move, she didn't hear the sound of doors and windows opening for a long time, she looked up, and saw Lou Zhen standing under the window, looking at herself with a bitter face.
She asked, "What else?" ”
Lou Zhen didn't speak, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "You and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, do you really dare to go with me like this?" ”
He asked, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Pei Yaowei couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he asked this.
More than ten years is indeed long enough. Sometimes, between the fickleness of this person's heart and the inexorability of his nature, he really doesn't know which side to trust. In particular, she has now begun to doubt what Lou Zhen's nature is.
She thought that the reason why she agreed to go with him was probably because it had nothing to do with him and had nothing to do with trust. The reason for this is that the price he offered is too big.
If the truth is hidden in the trap, then even if she sees that it is a trap, she can only move forward.
She looked at Lou Zhen and asked instead of answering, "Will you harm me?" ”
“…… No. ”
Pei Yaowei nodded thoughtfully and didn't speak again.
Sneaking out all the way, standing outside Zhaoye Temple, Lou Zhen looked back and glanced into the depths of the night.
It's not easy to lie to a child you've seen growing up. He thought.
Pei Yaowei sat in front of the lamp and candle all night, her mind was almost spinning, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
At dawn the next day, after she had packed up, she called Yu Xu to her and handed her a bag.
Yu Xu checked the bag and was very puzzled: "Niangniang, this is ......"
"Later, I will tell the abbot that I will fast and chant in the small Buddha hall in the west to pray for the blessings of the front-line soldiers, and for a period of time to come, no one is allowed to enter and disturb except you, a personal maid." As she spoke, she changed her words and said, "But actually, I want to go out of Beijing once, and I don't know when I will come back, and I don't want anyone to find out." ”
"!"
Pei Yao was not in a hurry to speak, just looked at her quietly until Yu Xu calmed down, thought about it for a while, and asked her, "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" ”
"I can't explain the specifics yet, you just need to know that I have to go this time." She said: "And you are the only person I can trust, and the situation in this temple depends on you to help me control everything." ”
Giving this task to Yu Xu, she also knew that she was a strong man. Thinking that this girl has been with her for so long, and she hasn't done a few good things, she is really unlucky to be forced into such a hot potato by herself.
Except for a moment of surprise at first, once Yu Xu calmed down and received the death order, he didn't care about persuading his master. She thought for a moment and said, "Niangniang, you have to tell me where you are going?" With whom? If something happens......"
She was speechless for a long time, her face full of bitterness: "Niangniang, if something really happens to you, what should you do?" ”
Pei Yaoyan couldn't answer her.
In fact, she had no idea what was waiting for her on this trip, and she could not guarantee that she would return safely.
She got up and approached and took Yu Xu's hand, "If the incident in the east window happens, you give this bag to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he will not do anything to you." ”
"!" Yu Xu was a little anxious, "It doesn't matter what the slave and maid do, but you ......"
Pei Yaowei patted her hand, "I will try to come back as early as possible and try to ...... All beards and all tails come back. ”
At the end of September, Chengyang Palace came to report that Pan Guifei gave birth to a daughter.
Xiao was overjoyed, and in three or two days, he didn't care about the words in advance, and when the emperor's heir was 100 days old, he would take the concubine's mother and daughter back to the palace.
"What about the concubine?"
In Yuxiu Palace, Qin Se took the emperor's order and immediately asked.
"Concubine...... Xiao Zhu took a sip of tea lightly and said, "The concubine has not yet come out of the moon, so naturally it is not suitable to move." Let the concubine recuperate in Chengyang Palace for a while, it just so happens that she is weak after giving birth, and it is estimated that she can't help the child from making trouble, so she will take her back to the palace and raise it by your side first. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Se gently, "The concubines in this harem have also been born and raised by concubines, you have taught Fengyang very well, and the second princess will be handed over to you, and I can rest assured." ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, the concubines are grateful. It's just ......" Qin Se looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, whether it is according to the position or according to the ancestral family law, the noble concubine is in front, and the second princess's upbringing is not the turn of the concubine to intervene." Besides, Fengyang is now the age of trouble, the second princess has just landed, and she can't leave anyone at any time, and the concubines are also afraid...... If there is any negligence, then it is really not worthy of Your Majesty, and you are also sorry for the concubine! ”
As soon as she said this, Xiao Zhu's heart turned, and then he was also a little troubled.
"What does Concubine Yi mean?" He frowned and said, "The concubine won't come back for a while, and these two princesses have to be watched......"
Qin Se pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the short-term view of the concubines, the existing concubines and concubines are the highest in the ranks, and it is inevitable that there will be many incidents, and it is not appropriate for anyone to raise the second princess." She said, "However, the Queen Mother is the princess's own grandmother, and it is the best for the Queen Mother to raise the second princess herself, and it is also a great grace for the concubine." ”
Xiao Zhu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Well," he said, "Concubine Ai is thoughtful, so she will do as you say." ”
"Yes, the concubine is ordered."
Xiao Chai was busy and happy for a few days for the second princess, but he was happy about this idea, but he couldn't help the court's government affairs, and his daughter had not returned to the palace yet, so he was sad and gloomy again.
Since the Pan family raised troops in the name of the Qing monarch, for the sake of peace, Xiao Zhu has issued an edict and put Jiang Yi, who was on the cusp, into prison.
At first, the Chinese military capital of the DPRK peeked into the situation, and few dared to speak, but in the past few days, the front line has fought several times, the Pan clan is declining, seeing this, among the courtiers, some people are concerned about the emperor's intentions, thinking that the Son of Heaven relies on Jiang Yi, and this time he was imprisoned, but he was only forced to helpless, so there was a voice in the palace to shoot for Jiang Servant and ask the Holy Admiral to release him.
Xiao Zhu was still good-tempered, put aside the recitals of these people, and only said that he would discuss it later, and did not directly kill them with a rod.
On this day, Xiang Mindai served in the Lingyun Hall for half a day, went out to send off the sedan chair, held the shallow hand, and slowly returned to the Xiancui Palace, and the right to loosen his muscles.
A few steps after she walked out, she didn't know what she remembered, and suddenly smiled.
He asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Min Dai sighed and looked up at the sky, "This palace laughs at those courtiers who are wronged by Jiang Yi. She shook her head and sighed softly, "Really, flattery can't pick the right time, it's treacherous and stupid, it's them!" ”
