Chapter 24 Talking about conditions
Chu Yuanlang looked at the person standing on the side, recognized it as Liu Qi, and immediately said with a respectful face: "It is a blessing to be appreciated by General Liu, and the third sister is taken care of by General Liu today." ”
"Brother Chu is polite, the contemptible people have some important matters, so I won't accompany the two of you for the time being."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Chu Nian, and said with a meaningful smile: "I had a good conversation with Sanniang today, and I will definitely visit you one day." ”
Chu Nian lowered his eyes and smiled, like a little daughter who had just fallen in love, Liu Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and he turned around and left without hesitation.
This scene fell in Chu Yuanlang's eyes, he glanced at Chu Nian implicitly, then withdrew his gaze, and when Liu Qi walked away, he sighed and said: "Blame the younger brother for being anxious, the third sister should not take it to heart." ”
Chu Nian looked at the worried look in the eyes of the boy who was one year younger than him, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, follow the teachings of the eldest brother." ”
The two sisters and brothers walked around for a while, and then went home, at this time the other three sisters and brothers had not returned home, and the brightly lit Chu family seemed extraordinarily quiet.
After returning to the herb house, Chu Nian rushed into the bedroom as soon as possible, and Mei Xiang had already prepared a basin of warm water to bathe and change clothes for Chu Nian, and then retreated.
The room was completely silent, only Chu Nian sat on the edge of the couch, looking fixedly at the flickering candle flame not far away.
The candle is newly replaced by Mei Xiang today, it seems that it has been in the warehouse for a long time and has fallen some dust, and in the firelight, there are curling green smoke rising, like the incense that is about to burn out in the three pillars at the door of the Su family's mansion.
It was Liu Qi who plunged the Su family into the abyss, and now that the Su family has been destroyed, it is Liu Qi who comes to worship, when does he want to play this sanctimonious appearance?
Heh, did he think that by destroying hundreds of lives of the Su family and then apologizing at will, he could erase the sins he had committed!
Give someone a knife and apologize with a grin?
Now, if he is willing to feel guilty, let him be ashamed! It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, she will ask him to pay back all the money he owes to the Su family sooner or later!
Chu Nian unconsciously clenched her fists, and a pair of eyes flashed with hatred, but at this time, the candle flame shook violently for a moment, and she immediately put away the hatred in her eyes and lowered her eyes silently.
A chuckle came from the darkness not far away: "How many secrets are there in Sanniang that I don't know?" ”
Chu Nian's face froze, this time it was actually Ming Xiu's deity? She adjusted her state, collapsed without raising her head, fell to the ground and said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Ming Xiu snorted lightly, "When you are only with Lone, Lone is allowed to let you not follow the etiquette." ”
I don't know how long Ming Xiu has been on the beam of that room, Chu Nian suddenly remembered, but half an hour ago, she had taken off her clothes and sat naked in the basin...... As soon as his face was hot, Chu Nian was not pretentious, he got up and looked directly at Ming Xiu, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you let me know before you come next time? After all, this is the boudoir of my daughter's house. ”
In her previous life, although she was blind and had a concubine with Shen Dulang, at most she only made eye contact, but today she asked a man to see his body naked...... Although she is not a person who is entangled in this, it is related to the reputation of a daughter's family, and no one will have no complaints in her heart.
Ming Xiu slowly walked out of the darkness, his knife-like silhouette softened a little in the flickering candle flame, and he raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it that you yourself are not vigilant enough?" ”
Chu Nian frowned, "The little girl really didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually had a habit of being a gentleman on the beam." ”
"Hmph, sharp teeth." Ming Xiu picked up the "Strange Story" on the table and rummaged it gently, "It's a big deal, Lone is responsible for you." ”
His casual appearance completely ignited Chu Nian's anger, what is "responsible for a big deal", who is responsible for you?
But after a while, Chu Nian regained her indifferent expression, and she also understood that even if Ming Xiu wanted to kill her right now, it was just a matter of moving her fingers.
With a long sigh of relief, Chu Niancai said: "If Your Highness just comes to watch the little girl wash, then Your Highness's purpose has been achieved." ”
Ming Xiu put down the book in his hand and looked at Chu Nian with deep meaning, not taking Chu Nian's counterattack to heart at all.
He turned over and sat leisurely on the Taishi chair beside him, "Where have you been today?" Don't you really know? ”
Chu Nian raised her eyes to look at Ming Xiu, her eyes narrowed slightly, she expected that he would send someone to urge, but she didn't expect that he would directly send someone to spy on her? Then she went to the gate of Sufu and met Liu Qi, and Ming Xiu already knew about it?
Is he a warning? This feeling of being naked for others to watch is really boring, but she is helpless.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Niancai repeated the statement with Liu Qi to Ming Xiu, and then the cherry lips opened lightly and continued: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not at ease, you can ask someone to check whether the little girl went to Muyuan Temple three years ago, and whether she met a thief on the way. ”
Her memory can't go wrong, it just so happened that Chu Nian was taken out by Xiao Chen at that time, and he met a thief on the way, who was rescued by a man in black with deep internal strength, Chu Nian didn't see that person's face, but it just so happened that the day coincided with the time when his brother went out.
Besides, she really didn't believe that it was so long ago, and Ming Xiu would really send someone to investigate.
In the dusk, Ming Xiu's deep eyes looked at Chu Nian inquiringly, as if he wanted to see her through.
"I hope what you say is true, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"Your Highness knows that the little girl doesn't dare to lie to His Highness, but ......" Chu Nian hooked her lips, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent so many people to the little girl's side, but are you afraid that the little girl will be in danger when she does things for the prince?" The little girl thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first. ”
The corners of Ming Xiu's mouth were obviously stiff, but it was only a moment, Chu Nian only felt a breeze blowing in front of him, and that heroic face was already close at hand, where was there still half a stupid appearance in front of outsiders?
He pinched Chu Nian's chin fiercely, and there was a warm breath in his thin lips that spread on Chu Nian's face again and again, a little itchy.
"Sanniang is really bold, Gu just appreciated you a few points, and you dare to talk to Gu about conditions?"
Chu Nianshui's eyes looked at those eyes with murderous intent without fear, "Does Your Highness think that you can just sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits of the fisherman?" Or do you think that there is a better candidate besides the little girl who can help His Highness remove all obstacles? ”
The eyes that were close at hand narrowed slightly, as if they wanted to find the slightest fear in Chu Nian's eyes.
After a while, Chu Nian felt a relief on his body, a gust of wind blew, and only a few fluttering words fell, "Something, ask the shadow guard to convey it to Gu is." ”
Looking at the silver wrap in the moonlight outside the window, Chu Nian hooked the corners of his lips slightly. She bet right, in addition to the forces that Ming Xiu cultivated in private, I am afraid that she is the only one who knows the truth that he is not stupid, and if Ming Xiu wants to bring down the prime minister's forces, she is the only way to go.
It is expected that Ming Xiu must regret that he didn't kill her at the moment, and now that she has turned over, he will never let him take advantage of the fisherman. Chu Nian has always had no available people with internal strength on her side, but now with Ming Xiu's words, it is undoubtedly an extra boost, and in the future, she and Ming Xiu can be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope.
can make Ming Xiu deflated, Chu Nian inexplicably felt in a good mood, turned over and lay on the couch, and fell asleep in a moment.
In the early morning of the next day, on the top of the high moat, a floating shadow was standing in the wind, and there was a paper with blood stains in the air sliding down with the wind.
"This girl is ...... The shopkeeper Wu who was expelled from the capital before? ”
"Oh, I heard that this girl had an affair with a man before she left the cabinet, so she is not ashamed!"
"Nonsense, what are you looking at in the blood book?"
"Luo Jiashilang ruined my innocence and killed my parents, if the thieves are left to continue their lives, how many families in the city will be in trouble like my Wu family? Now I am willing to die, begging the emperor to punish the wicked, so as to keep the party safe! ”
"I have long heard that Shilang of the General's Mansion does all kinds of evil, and there is no royal law at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"
When the defenders arrived, almost everyone had a copy of the blood book, and just as the commander of the city defenders led the people to deprive them of the blood book, the floating shadow jumped down, causing the people to exclaim.
"Something's wrong! Dead! ”
Between the lightning and flint, a dark shadow suddenly burst out, Wu Yuanniang's body was hugged before it landed, and the two bodies fell to the ground, rolling around a few times before stabilizing their figures.
"Yo! People are not dead! Caught up! ”
At this time, the defenders of the city could no longer stop the people who were extremely indignant by the blood book, and in the blink of an eye, the two people who landed were immediately surrounded.
Wu Yuanniang propped herself up in time, because of the momentum of the landing, Rao was caught, her forehead was still bruised, blood slid down her forehead, and with the thin face with only bones left, it looked more and more hideous and miserable.
"Xie Daxia rescued him, but if one day my Wu family's grievances cannot be settled, the little girl will have no shame to continue to live!"
The hero rubbed his aching arm and stood up a little helplessly, "If you die, your Wu family's grievances cannot be settled, I don't believe it, at the feet of this son of heaven, there is no royal law!" ”
The people were even more angry by his words, Luo Shilang did all kinds of evil outside Beijing, and now he has restrained a lot in Beijing, and it can be seen that the daughters of the people's families, but they still can't help but start teasing, they were all calmed down by the general's mansion, and the ordinary people who suffered losses had to swallow their anger because of the power of the general's mansion.
The hero is right! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no royal law left?
"Wu Yuanniang, don't be afraid! We will accompany you to the government to redress grievances! ”
"That's right! The emperor must know about this Luo Shilang's evil deeds! ”
"There is strength in numbers! Let's go! ”
Although the defenders of the city were armed, they could not stop the angry people, so they had to send someone to hurry to the general's palace to report, but this man had just walked out of the crowd and was killed by a knife in a remote corner.
Chu Nian kicked the corpse under her feet, and just then pulled down the mask, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind her, she looked back and smiled lightly.
"I'm tired."
The person who landed was the hero who had just saved Wu Yuanniang, and while the people were in chaos, he dodged and left the city tower, and at this moment he saw the corpse on the ground, and his narrow eyes were flashing with a strange light.
"I really don't know that Chu Sanniang has such skills, it seems that I still need to report to His Highness again."
