Chapter 170: Gu Jue's counterattack
Seeing that Feng Huang's narrow eyes were filled with murderous intent, Yu Zhiyan only felt the fear emanating from the bottom of her heart, and this fear was far better than the holy decree that tortured her to death.
Yu Zhiyan only stood aside in a daze, and could only see Feng Huang walking over and punching Bai Feng in the chest again.
Before Bai Feng could get up, he was punched again, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
At this time, the people watching from the sidelines shouted: "Stop fighting, you will die in a while." β
Taking advantage of Feng Huang's stopping, Bai Feng said angrily to Peony: "He's your best friend again?" β
After all, this man will not beat him for no reason, but I am afraid that it is because of the woman. But in his opinion, this man will never have anything to do with Yu Zhiyan, and only the woman in this Qinglou is the trouble.
Peony was also frightened on the side, covering her mouth tightly with her jade-like hand.
She was just playing tricks on Bai Feng, and she knew that this man was ruthless, so naturally she wouldn't really spend money to redeem him.
It's just that I bumped into him on the street today, so I followed, just wanting to cheat some money and leave, but I didn't expect that I was about to die.
But she promised that she had never seen this man in the wind in Yushu, and with his appearance, she naturally couldn't forget it.
She hurriedly retreated in fright, and then said tremblingly, "I don't know him, I don't know anything, I don't know anything-"
After saying that, the peony had already run away, completely ignoring Bai Feng's life or death.
And with such a murderous face on his face, Yu Zhiyanche felt so strange. Seeing that he swung his fist again at Bai Feng, who had just gotten up.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Zhiyan suddenly blocked in front of Bai Feng, and then hurriedly said, "Don't fight." β
Feng Huang really paused, just reached out and slowly wiped her cheek, and there was endless coolness in his voice, "Don't let anyone touch you so easily in the future." β
Yu Zhiyan didn't know how to explain to him at all, and that Bai Feng was just playing on the spot.
And Bai Feng also got up from the ground, and when he saw Feng Huang's ambiguous words to Yu Zhiyan, he couldn't help but get angry, as if he wanted to fight desperately.
Yu Zhiyan saw that the waves were uneven and the waves rose again, so he hurriedly turned his head and silently spit out two words to Bai Feng.
"Your Majestyβ"
Bai Feng couldn't understand what she was saying, but he suddenly understood, and then he knew that he was in trouble.
Feng Huang looked at Yu Zhiyan, who slowly turned around, his eyes were as heavy as water, but he didn't say anything again, and left the goose back to the building.
She hurriedly helped Bai Feng up and checked the wounds on his body, but fortunately there were no major injuries, just a broken layer of skin.
Yu Zhiyan couldn't eat this meal, but sighed: "You go to a doctor for a while, and I'll go buy something." β
For the rest of his life after the robbery, Bai Feng's face was terrifyingly pale, and he just said lightly: "Naturally, someone will buy it in a while, and you can go back to your house before dark." β
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh and said: "In this case, I'll go to see Dong Lang, he must be uncomfortable now that he has done this drudgery."
γ β
Bai Feng covered the ground where he was beaten, and couldn't help frowning: "Sure enough, it is a ruthless and unrighteous woman, I was almost beaten for you, but you remember others." β
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, "You brought it all on yourself, and now you are complaining that I am ruthless, who asked you to provoke the woman in the Qinglou." β
After saying that, she went straight to the city gate, it was past noon, and the streets were full of people carrying bird cages and drinking tea, looking very comfortable and peaceful.
Yu Zhiyan came to the city gate, and she saw Gu Jue standing on the city tower from a distance, with a majestic appearance, and his armor was like a silver lin.
But he was standing too high to see her at all.
Yu Zhiyan was at a loss, but he saw a little girl flying a kite next to the city wall, and the butterflies painted with cinnabar and other paints were vivid, which was very cute.
She hurriedly bought a string of sugar gourds from the vendor on the side, and then lowered her head and said a few words to the lively little girl, who hurriedly took the sugar gourd and handed the thread in her hand to Yu Zhiyan's hand.
Yu Zhiyan slowly pulled the string tight until it reached a height with the city wall, and then slammed into the silver-armored man.
Gu Jue stood on the city wall unguarded, but he didn't expect a kite to hit him, so he hurriedly dodged.
When he looked down the city wall, he saw a familiar figure, still holding a thread in his hand, smiling sweetly at him.
**********
In the palace, it was as cold and silent as a tomb.
The glass palace lamp in the queen's palace was bright and a little dazzling, but the queen was still leaning on the chair and asked the palace maid to pinch her legs.
Unexpectedly, her old enemy in the palace went, not only was she not happy, but she felt more and more lonely.
In the past, when she slept alone every day, she always thought about how to get rid of the unsightly woman. Now there are no more people who are scheming every day.
Everyone in the world knows that the emperor and queen are of the same heart, and the emperor of a queen after the dynasties is almost unprecedented, and the people in the world know the good story of the deep love of the emperor and the queen.
And how much coldness there is in her heart, how can others know.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then Gu Jiao hurriedly ran in from outside, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he was out of breath.
"Queen Mother, there is a fire in Zhaoyang Palace, go and take a look." He gasped for breath as he hurried.
The queen's phoenix eyes opened suddenly, and she stood up from the phoenix couch all of a sudden, and even her voice changed, "Is the emperor still in the Zhaoyang Palace?" β
Zhaoyang Hall is the dormitory of Fenghuang, but if he has endless folds in the Jinluan Palace, he will take them back to the palace for approval.
Gu Jiao hurriedly replied: "Back to the queen's mother, please rest assured, the emperor is discussing with the minister in the Jinluan Palace, and when he heard that the water was gone, he also hurried over." β
The water in this palace is rare, and now that the New Year has fallen, and the virtuous concubine has just died, I am afraid that there will be some rumors
γ
After all, if the name of Fenghuang's throne is not right, it is inevitable that there will be old ministers of the old dynasty who will make people panic.
The queen hurriedly put on her clothes and hurriedly walked out of the hall, and when she went out of the palace gate, she saw a burst of fire in the sky in the east, and almost even the glazed tiles on the room were reflected in a piece of red.
She hurried over, but saw that the Zhaoyang Hall was caught in a sea of fire, the entire dormitory had been burned half, and the minions had already seen that the wall next to the hall had been broken to prevent the fire from spreading.
Lin Caohua saw that the eunuchs were pouring water on the wood of the dormitory, while Feng Huang was standing not far away to command the minions.
She hurriedly walked over, and then said respectfully: "The concubine asked the emperor for peace, but how did this good one catch fire." β
Feng Huang's face was flushed by the firelight, but the expression on his face was still flat, and even his voice was as dim as autumn water, "It was a little eunuch from Zhaoyang Hall who knocked over the charcoal basin and locked it up." β
Lin Caohua was just about to speak, but saw a little eunuch rush out of the firelight, his face was dark, and he knelt straight in front of Feng Huang, "The slave should be damned, he didn't find what the emperor wanted." β
Lin Caohua's face couldn't help but change, she didn't know what was so precious.
At this moment, Feng Huang snatched the basin in the hands of the eunuch who passed by, and then poured it on his body.
Lin Caohua immediately knew something, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", and then cried: "Your Majesty, you can't go, if you hurt the dragon body, the concubine will be to blame." β
Liu Xuanwu also knew what he was going to do, and while kowtowing, he howled and cried: "Your Majesty, you only think about this country, and you can't go." β
He didn't have the slightest mercy for his wife and his personal servants' pleas, and seemed to be a little unhappy because of their obstruction, "What do I have to do, you just have to support Moshu to ascend to the throne." β
After saying that, he left everyone behind and rushed to the Zhaoyang Hall where the fire was burning, leaving only a bunch of people there staring, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
It was Lin Caohua who recovered from the shock first and said hurriedly: "Go and save the emperor." β
The eunuchs around him didn't care about life and death, and were busy rushing into the hall, but before he could take a few steps, he saw Feng Huang rushing out of the hall, and the bright yellow dragon robe was burned out of several black holes.
The group hurriedly greeted him, but saw that the emperor ran out of the Zhaoyang Hall a few steps, and the entire hall collapsed, and the plaque smashed down was only half a step away from him.
Feng Huang fell to the ground all of a sudden, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly helped him up, but saw that his face was pale, but he was holding an iron box as long as an arm tightly in his hand.
Everyone didn't know what was important, so they could only put the people and things on the dragon bowl together, and they didn't care about the fire, so they hurriedly sent him to the Jinluan Palace.
Lin Caohua was anxious to sit still, and after the imperial doctor finished the diagnosis and treatment, she hurriedly asked, "How is the emperor?" β
The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Back to the queen's mother, it's just a few puffs of cigarettes, it's no big deal, Weichen will write a mild prescription."
Son, serve the emperor with the next one. β
Hearing that Feng Huang was safe and sound, Lin Caohua breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and hurriedly called the palace maids to boil the medicine, and then for fear that everyone would make a noise about Feng Huang, he sent everyone out.
She wrung the hot handkerchief to wipe the dirt on Feng Huang's face, and when she was about to wipe her hands, the box he was holding tightly slowly fell onto the bed.
Lin Caohua wanted to know for a moment what was inside, what could make him look for it so desperately.
She slowly took the iron box in her hand, and her heart was nervous as if something was about to jump out.
The box still had the lingering warmth on it, and her fingers were burning red. With a "click" sound, the box was opened, but it turned out to be the portrait of Yu Zhiyan inside.
It's just that the portrait is faintly blackened, but the bright face is like a sharp needle, rushing from her eyes to her heart.
When she came out of the Jinluan Palace, she saw the prince standing outside the hall with a worried face, because she had instructed no one not to disturb, and even Moshu was stopped outside the door.
Seeing her come out, Mo Shu didn't care about the prince's etiquette, so he only hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, how is my father?" β
Looking at this child, Lin Caohua couldn't help but think that the woman in the portrait was so dazzling.
Her voice was not as gentle as usual, and there seemed to be a gap between her and the prince, "It's okay, I've already taken the medicine, I'm afraid I'll wake up in a while, you go back to the East Palace to study." β
Mo Shu was very worried about his father, and when he saw his mother say this, he didn't dare to refute it, but only respectfully said, "Yes." Then he turned and walked away.
However, before he could take a few steps, Lin Caohua's voice came again, "I heard the eunuch who served you say that you want to leave the palace, right?" β
"After returning to his mother, Erchen just heard that his mother was having a hard time outside the palace, and he just wanted to go and see it." Mo Shu is smart, but he is just a child, and he has some things that should not be said, but he does not hide them.
Hearing this, the queen's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and then she smiled and said: "It's rare that you are filial, this palace will let people go to see your mother, and naturally she won't suffer." β
Mo Shu was overjoyed, "Thank you." β
After Moshu left, Gu Jiao also helped the queen to his bedroom.
After all, he is the queen's confidant, how can he not guess his master's thoughts, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young now, so naturally he doesn't know who to rely on in the future, and he will definitely understand in the future." β
The queen just walked towards the palace with lotus steps, and when she passed by the bedroom of the virtuous concubine, she faintly saw a few crows hovering over the palace, and then let out a terrible cry.
"She's dead, and Hongu isn't happy. And when that woman died, Hongu would be extremely happy. She said this lightly, and then turned and left.
************
Yu Zhiyan waited under the city wall until it was dark, and did not leave.
Gu Jue came down from the city wall and walked into the tea shed, but saw Yu Zhiyan lying on the table sleeping sweetly, like a butterfly's eyelashes tightly closed.
The cold wind was whining, and he was afraid that she would suffer from the cold, so he hurriedly took off his cloak and covered her body.
Yu Zhiyan seemed to be noisy, and only slowly opened his eyes. Because the sky was dark, she couldn't see his face, but only the eyes that were as bright as the stars, and fell straight on her face.
"What time is it?" Yu Zhiyan looked at the dark sky, and couldn't help patting his head in astonishment, "Bai Feng said that I was going back to the house before dark, but I didn't expect to fall asleep, and I don't know what to do when I go back?" β
Seeing her so flustered, Gu Jue couldn't help but smile and said, "This Chengguo Mansion is ours, you are the master, who dares to say anything." β
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help sighing, he was not as good as a rough maid who lived in the Chengguo Mansion, where could he be called a master.
After Gu Jue finished speaking, he took her hand and walked in the direction of the Chengguo Mansion, and Yuehui pulled the backs of the two people very long.
When Yu Zhiyan and Gu Jue returned to the Chengguo Mansion, they saw that Bai Feng was already guarding the corner outside the mansion gate, and there were still a few bruises on his face because he had been beaten.
Seeing Yu Zhenyan, he said angrily: "I know that you are unreliable, do you know that I have been waiting for you here for a few hours."
Only then did Yu Zhiyan realize that there were several bags of things under his feet, all of which were things that he was going to go out of the house to purchase today.
After all, he was at a loss, and Yu Zhiyan didn't dare to defend anything, so he only said lightly: "It's not mine today, I'm making amends to the uncle, don't worry, I will never let you suffer any more sin next time." β
It was the first time for Gu Jue to see Yu Zhiyan making amends in such a low voice, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you, just let you wait."
A few hours, that is, a few years, are all lifting you up. β
Bai Feng couldn't help but feel indignant when he saw Gu Jue protecting Yu Zhiyan who had done something wrong, but because he was afraid of Gu Jue, he only smiled and said, "Grandma, I know it's wrong, so you can spare me." β
Looking at his appearance, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Only then did Gu Jue notice the wound on his face, frowned and asked, "Where did you get into trouble again?" β
Bai Feng naturally knew that Gu Jue couldn't know about what happened today, otherwise his little life would not be saved, so he smiled and only agreed.
However, when Yu Zhiyan and Gu Jue returned to the mansion, they heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, which was crisp and very likable.
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help frowning, the Chengguo Mansion was full of people sent by Fenghuang, and they were all safe and secure people, but they had never seen such a flamboyant woman.
However, she was stunned, but she saw Yu Zheshuang walking over slowly, and the maid next to her was still carrying a lantern in her hand.
And beside her, there was a woman dressed in green, but she was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a flying bun on her head, which naturally had a bit of charm.
Seeing Gu Jue, Yu Zheshuang's face was full of gentle smiles, "Counting the time, the husband is about to come back, so I came out, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." β
"What are you looking for me to do?" Gu Jue's voice was full of disgust, even in front of everyone, he still didn't save any face for Yu Zheshuang, "
Don't get out of here. β
Who knew that Yu Zheshuang was not annoyed, but said to the playful woman beside him: "Don't hurry up and ask your husband for peace, you will definitely serve well in the future." β
The woman took a step forward, and then bent down in a proper manner, "Concubine Begonia to my lord." β
Yu Zhiyan only stood aside and watched this farce, only listening to the woman's name to know her origin, it turned out that the Qinglou in the capital named the woman, all of which were flowers and grasses, and they were very cheesy.
Gu Jue looked directly at Yu Zheshuang, "What are you trying to make trouble about?" Wouldn't it be pretending to be virtuous and generous, giving me a woman? β
Yu Zhishuang didn't refute his words, "Don't you hate concubines, then concubines will naturally find someone to serve your side, this is the Oiran in the Qinglou, didn't you like these the most?" β
Gu Jue was not annoyed, but slowly walked to the Qinglou woman named Begonia, and then pinched her chin fiercely with her bony hand.
"Sure enough, it's a beauty, someone who knows my heart, but it's really you Yu Zheshuang." His handsome face was full of satisfaction.
As he spoke, he took her woman's hand and walked in the direction of his yard.
