Chapter 135: The Best Chess
As soon as Yingchun's words fell, the maid of the virtuous concubine on the side immediately grabbed Chen Yan's wrist, and everyone also saw the slight powder in her fingernails.
"Princess, what is this?"
Jiang Yan asked her, and Chen Yansleeve only shook his head: "I don't know." She didn't poison her, but her hand didn't touch anything, but when Yingchun handed her the medicine, her fingernails seemed to rub against her sleeves, but it was so gentle.
She immediately looked at Yingchun, but Yingchun had already knelt down, crying: "It's all because the slave is careless, when I served the medicine to the princess, I saw that the princess's nails were soaked in the medicine, and I thought that the princess was just careless, but I didn't expect it...... The princess was poisoned! β
"I didn't ......" Chen Yansleeve explained palely, and hurriedly looked at Wei Ruyi: "Ruyi, I rubbed the clothes of the Spring Festival just now, you can see if it is poisonous." β
"Okay." Wei Ruyi first looked at the medicinal powder in Chen Yan's sleeve nails, and after confirming that it was poisonous powder, he immediately walked to Yingchun: "Raise your hand." β
"Yes." Although Yingchun cried with tears on her face, she did not show any timidity, as if she really had nothing to do with her.
Everyone stared at Wei Ruyi, as long as she was sure that Yingchun had this poisonous powder on her body, it meant that the poison must have been placed by her.
But Wei Ruyi grabbed her sleeve, and Yingchun grabbed her hand with his backhand, Wei Ruyi only felt that his wrist seemed to be pricked by something, and before he could lower his eyes to see, he felt dizzy, and then he didn't even have time to make a sound, so he fell aside.
"Ruyi ......" Chen Yansleeve was startled, and immediately wanted to help her, but was stopped by Jiang Yan first: "Pass on the imperial doctor!" β
"Lord Wang, Ruyi ...... her"
"Come on, arrest Yingchun first, and wait for the imperial doctor to come over." Jiang Yan didn't believe Chen Yansleeve, but now that his mother was on the line of life and death, he couldn't help but take precautions, and Ruyi actually fainted, there must be a master of poison in this room who is more powerful than her.
Who is it, the little palace maid Yingchun?
Chen Yansleeve looked at the hesitation in Jiang Yan's eyes, only endured the grievances, and stood quietly on the side silently anxious.
Because Concubine Roujia was in a hurry to take care of Concubine Xian, she didn't take care of her for a while, but fortunately, the imperial doctor came after a while.
The surname of the imperial physician who came this time is Xu, and he is an old friend of Imperial Physician Hu, although his medical skills are not as good as Imperial Physician Hu, but he is the most credible imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital today.
After Imperial Physician Xu came, he first checked Concubine Xian's pulse, but shook his head heavily.
"If it can't be saved, then no one in this room wants to get out alive!" Jiang Yan was furious, Chen Yansleeve raised his head, and when he saw his cold gaze, his heart trembled slightly, did the person he refer to also include himself?
Yingchun still couldn't stop crying, but Jiang Yan only narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked Imperial Doctor Xu to check her sleeves, but after the inspection, there was no result he wanted.
"There is no poisonous powder on this palace maid's clothes." After Imperial Physician Xu finished speaking, Concubine Roujia asked him to check the powder from Chen Yan's sleeve nails for the sake of prudence: "Look at this, but it's poisonous powder, and it's the poisonous powder that Concubine Xian poisoned?" β
Imperial Physician Xu walked over tremblingly, took a closer look, and sniffed it in the water before nodding: "This poisonous powder is called Soul Scattering Powder, if the dose is small, it can stop the bleeding, and some of this kind of medicinal powder are often prepared in the military camp, but it is very rare in the market." β
Chen Yan's palms tightened slightly, so that the people behind the scenes were coming for him.
She didn't dare to look at Jiang Yan's disappointed and cold eyes, she only felt that her nose was sour, she had always done things uprightly, and she would never use such despicable means as poisoning, didn't he believe himself at all? Or is it that he has never let go of the deaths of the two aunts before.
"This matter, before the real murderer is found out, you are rotten in the stomach!" Jiang Yan said coldly.
"Yes, Concubine Xian doesn't know how many days she can last, Your Highness ......" Imperial Physician Xu reminded, Jiang Yan only endured the killing intent in his heart and let him retreat.
Then he said to Chen Yansleeve: "You can go down too, I want to stay alone with my mother for a while." β
"Yan'er, I believe that the sleeves must have been calculated." Roujia said softly.
"I know, noble concubine, Erchen just wants to sit alone with his mother for a while now." Didn't Jiang Yan look at Chen Yan's sleeves? Resentful of her? It's resentful, if it weren't for her, maybe the people behind the scenes wouldn't have poisoned the mother, wouldn't they?
Chen Yansleeve knew him and understood him, she thought, if it was her, she couldn't accept that she was still expecting her mother to wake up soon, but the next moment she got the news that her mother was poisoned and there was no cure.
She lowered her eyes and bowed gently.
Rou Jia sighed softly, her eyes were slightly red, and she pulled her to the outside room, and saw that Yingchun and the other palace maids were still waiting on the side, so she said, "Take her down first." β
"Yes."
Yingchun deliberately glanced at Chen Yan's dejected appearance, and then was guarded and taken out.
When the door slammed shut, Wei Ruyi, who was originally lying on the warm couch on one side, opened his eyes, and he didn't have time to talk to Rou Jia and Chen Yanchong, so he turned his head and went inside.
Jiang Yan originally wanted to say a final goodbye to Concubine Xian, but when he saw Wei Ruyi coming, he frowned: "Ruyi, you are not ......"
"I was pricked by Yingchun with a poison needle, but it's okay, I took an antidote pill before entering the palace." This is her habit, just in case of emergency, although the antidote pill can't completely solve the drug, but it can still keep her awake.
When Jiang Yan saw her say this, he immediately wanted to send someone to arrest Yingchun, but Wei Ruyi hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be in a hurry first." After speaking, she pulled out a silver needle at the back of Concubine Xian's neck, which was the acupuncture point on the back of Concubine Xian's neck when everyone was suspicious of Sister Yan Sleeve before, in order to let Imperial Doctor Xu come to check and determine the illusion that Concubine Xian's mother would not live long.
"Ruyi, is she okay with the concubine?" Jiang Yan saw that she had already taken precautions, and asked her with a little excitement.
"Some time ago, when I came to see Concubine Xian, I gave Niangniang a Heart Protection Pill, so I can still save it for the time being, but I can't be discovered by people outside, otherwise they will definitely have follow-up actions." Wei Ruyi quickly explained, and turned out her own silver needles, but the silver needles were not enough, these were just what she had prepared urgently, and if she wanted to detoxify, she needed at least a full set of silver needles.
"I'll get you the silver needle."
Chen Yansleeve, who followed up, said softly.
Wei Ruyi was a little worried, after all, those people calculated her: "Sister Yansleeve, you are still pregnant......
"It's okay, I know how to fight, and I have to be prepared, and nothing will happen." After speaking, he turned his head and went out, and after a while, there was a word from outside that Chen Yansleeve fell down and wanted to see the imperial doctor.
Jiang Yan clenched his fists tightly, his mood was complicated, Rou Jia looked at him from the side, and only said: "Sleeve is a good child, and she is calculated, not necessarily because of her, maybe because of you." β
Jiang Yanru was hit hard, turned his head to look at Rou Jia, and the remorse in his heart welled up, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Roujia knows his character, soft and delicate, affectionate and righteous, but because of this, he is a little more indecisive.
Not long after, Chen Yansleeve's maid came with a silver needle, but Chen Yansleeve didn't come, it seemed that he was dragging the imperial doctor in the side hall.
"Princess Shizu." The maid gave the silver needle to Wei Ruyi, and Wei Ruyi only said: "You go to guard the princess, you have to be careful with what you eat, don't have an accident." β
"The slave understands." The maid nodded emphatically before running out again.
Wei Ruyi looked at Jiang Yan, who was frowning on one side, and didn't say anything, only devoting all his limited energy to detoxification.
The person who poisoned him was really vicious, and he actually thought of using such a method to start, not only provoking Sister Yansleeve and Jiang Yan, if Concubine Xian Niangniang was really gone, the emperor would blame him, and the Chen family would be in a catastrophe, if Jiang Yan was more confused, then the Chen family would really be over.
After half an hour like this, Wei Ruyi watched Concubine Xian's dark face finally return to its normal color, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the smell of blood in the room was so bad that she couldn't hold it anymore.
"Guifei Niangniang, why don't you let the virtuous concubine Niangniang...... Let's go to the palace for a while. Wei Ruyi barely stood up and said to Rou Jia.
Rou Jia also means this, now that she guards Concubine Xian's bedroom so tightly, she was actually poisoned, it can be seen that this palace is not safe, and before the mastermind behind the scenes is revealed, Concubine Xian may still be in danger, rather than this, it is better to send her to King Zhao's Mansion first, at least King Zhao's Mansion is not big, and Jiang Yan is in charge, so it is better to control it.
"I'll go and ask the emperor, Yan'er, you take care of Concubine Xian here......" Before Rou Jia finished speaking, Wei Ruyi's legs weakened and fell down directly.
Jiang Yan's eyes were quick, and he immediately took her in his arms: "Ruyi, are you okay?" β
"I'm fine, Your Highness should care more about Sister Yansleeve."
Wei Ruyi struggled out of his arms and looked at Rou Jia, who understood: "I'll send you out of the palace first, and the people behind Yingchun will be inquired about." β
"And it's best to say that Concubine Xian's poison has not yet been resolved." Wei Ruyi reminded.
Rou Jia understands that in this way, the people behind the scenes will no longer design such a provocative drama as today.
Jiang Yan looked at Wei Ruyi's alienated and indifferent appearance towards him, thinking about Fang Cai's attitude towards Yan Sleeve, and only felt that his heart was very stuffy. He didn't mean to, he just ...... I'm so anxious......
Wei Ruyi followed Concubine Xian to leave, and he immediately arranged for someone to guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter without orders.
"Your Highness, it's cold outside, be careful of catching a cold."
The cloak was on his shoulders, and it was still a gentle voice, Jiang Yan turned his head and saw Chen Yan's sleeves smiling shallowly at him.
It was a little late, the snow fell again, the flying snowflakes were like curtains on the stage, the not-so-bright sunlight also illuminated her facial features very softly, and the smile on the corners of her lips was even warmer.
It turned out that she was ...... It's so beautiful......
"Tired?" Jiang Yan grabbed her withdrawn hand and said softly.
"No, I didn't." Chen Yansleeve looked at the guilt in his eyes and smiled shallowly. He's not an infallible character, he's just never experienced this, she's a wife, and she should understand him.
Jiang Yan hugged her gently, smelling the unique fragrance on her body, and her turbulent heart finally calmed down: "Sleeve, thank you." β
Chen Yan's sleeve eyes were slightly wet: "As long as His Highness is willing to trust the concubine, the concubine will always stand behind His Highness and accompany His Highness." β
The night is quietly coming, the wind and snow are gradually getting bigger, and the poisoning of Concubine Xian is blowing like the wind in this night, and everyone in the palace knows about it.
Zhuohua leaned on the side of the warm couch, listening to the replies of the palace people below, and knew that the plan was only half successful.
"Princess, that Wei Ruyi has successfully left the palace, and she is still dizzy when she leaves, so it should be impossible to solve the poison of Concubine Xian."
"The imperial brother also said that as long as the poison is drunk, it will not be able to solve it for more than a stick of incense, even if Wei Ruyi is awake, he can't solve it, and Concubine Xian doesn't have to worry about it." Zhuohua said as he looked out the window at the snow. It's snowing again, and this year, it's going to be over again.
The palace maid looked at her and looked at the snow outside the palace, and said flatteringly: "Does the princess like snow, the slave maid asked someone to build a few snowmen." β
"No, I don't want to see a snowman." Snowman, when she was young, Concubine Xian always liked to let people pile a few in front of the palace gate to make her happy. Now that everyone is going to die, what else do you want this snowman to do?
Her eyes were slightly astringent, but she turned her face away, looked at the jumping candle flame, and said, "To my surprise, the Seventh Emperor Brother didn't turn against Chen Yansleeve. β
"Yingchun is now detained, and it is estimated that she has been found. Fortunately, Yingchun didn't know that you were the person behind the scenes, even if you were tortured, you would never be able to confess. β
"That's good." Zhuohua said lightly, only asked someone to close all the doors, and went to rest silently.
But for some reason, she always felt a dull pain in her heart, just like when she and the royal brother saw her mother die that year.
Wei Ruyi left the palace, people were still groggy, Mu Ying was by her side, looking at her like this, a little worried: "Miss, do you still have any medicine with you, do you want to take some more?" β
Wei Ruyi smiled reluctantly: "That antidote pill can't be eaten as a meal." Don't worry, I know in my heart that this poison will be solved in a while. β
Mu Ying sighed softly, lifted the curtain and looked out, there was still some distance from the National Teacher's Mansion, so he could only tell the person driving the carriage to be faster.
Wei Ruyi nestled in the corner of the carriage, letting the carriage jolt, and forcibly let herself not fall into a deep sleep first, she also had to think about it carefully, how could the people behind the scenes suddenly calculate Sister Yansleeve, and where did the poison come from, Imperial Doctor Xu also said, even if it is commonly used in the military camp, it is not often found in the market, and those people should not be so easy to get these medicines.
"Be carefulββ!
Suddenly, there was the sound of weapons clashing, and the carriage stopped suddenly.
Mu Ying immediately took out the short sword on his waist to protect Wei Ruyi, and only then did he dare to lift the curtain and look out, but saw that the carriage happened to stop in an uninhabited alley, and the group of black-clothed people who were doing it should have been hiding near this for a long time.
"Mu Ying, drive the carriage through this alley." Wei Ruyi reluctantly opened his eyes and said.
Passing through this alley is the boundary dedicated to the temporary residence of the envoys, and these black-clothed people should not dare to do it there, after all, the masters of Fusang are also there.
Mu Ying understood, stepped forward and pushed away the coachman who was already out of breath, and quickly headed towards the end of the alley with the reins.
It's just that the group of men in black seemed to see through her thoughts, and immediately stepped forward, and without doing anything to her, they directly cut off one of the horse's legs......
The horse fell to the ground with a bang, and Wei Ruyi rolled out of the carriage defenselessly, hitting her head on the wheel, so painful that she almost cried.
Mu Ying was immediately entangled by two black-clothed people, and couldn't take care of her at all, Wei Ruyi saw that someone was going to catch her, she was holding a handful of snow in her hand, and when the person approached, she directly pasted his eyes with her backhand, and her foot also kicked three inches down to him, but her kick was soft and weak.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then directly took a knife and cut off Wei Ruyi's leg.
"Miss!"
Mu Ying snorted softly, and a swift shadow flashed in the night, and Wei Ruyi was scooped up.
Xue Wuxian sandwiched Wei Ruyi's small body in the creaking nest, and quickly walked through the alley, the guards at the door of the post house saw that someone suddenly appeared, and they were on guard, Xue Wuxian only said: "It's the wife of the national teacher, someone is chasing us." β
After the words fell, the door of the post house opened, and a column of guards quickly ran out, and the black-clothed man who was chasing after saw this situation, and did not raise his knife to kill, but just aimed at Xue Wuxian with a bow and arrow.
Xue Wuxian already had an extra blood mark on his back, and he was alert to the murderous aura behind him, and his backhand shot down the two sharp arrows that flew in, and the guards of the post house looked at it and hurriedly set out. Regardless of whether this is the wife of the national teacher or not, as long as someone comes to assassinate, they can't sit idly by.
Wei Ruyi smelled the strong smell of blood, raised his hand and touched his forehead, slimy, knowing that his forehead must be broken, he patted Xue Wuxi's hand: "Let me down." β
Xue Wuxian put her on the ground, holding a scimitar in his hand, cold-eyed and vigilant, and asked her, "You can't die, can you?" β
"Probably so." Wei Ruyi took out a handkerchief and wrapped some snow, then hurriedly put it on his bleeding forehead, looked at the phantoms flying around in the dark night in a daze, and said to Xue Wuxi: "Is there an army?" β
Xue Wuxian was dumbfounded: "If you can't see clearly, don't look at it, I won't let you die." β
"Okay, I'll invite you to eat the roast chicken made by Uncle Fang." Wei Ruyi smiled, the corners of Xue Wuji's mouth twitched, seeing that the group of black-clothed people was about to retreat, Mu Ying, who was covered in blood, rushed out of the alley again, still holding a live mouth with a jaw off in his hand.
Xue Wuxian had a bad heart, and just as he was about to remind Mu Ying, he saw the black-clothed man who only dared to release dark arrows on the side and killed him directly. Even if they die, they must not let their mouths fall into the hands of the people of the National Teacher's Mansion.
"Protect yourself first." After Xue Wuxian finished speaking, the scimitar in his hand flew out, and the person flew directly towards Mu Ying.
Wei Ruyi sat on the ground, sniffling from the cold, looked at the people around him who were full of phantoms, and said softly: "Who will help me, I think I'm dying." β
After the words fell, a chuckle came, Wei Ruyi squinted his eyes and looked, only to see a girl wearing a floral silk dress coming slowly, but she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
The girl walked up to her, gently grabbed her, and asked her, "Are you the lady of the national teacher?" I've wanted to see you for a long time, but when I see you today, it's really different......"
"The little beauty's voice is so gentle, but I'm about to bleed to death, can you find a doctor to show me, I think I can save it." Wei Ruyi smiled, but her head became more and more dizzy, and she only vaguely heard what she said, and the person fell down.
Mu Yun didn't expect Wei Ruyi to be attacked on the way back to his home, he knelt at the gate of Qingfeng Courtyard, and refused to get up even though his knees were already frozen and unconscious.
When the second master came out of Qingfeng Courtyard, he saw him and shook his head slightly: "She's fine, although she has been poisoned, most of the poison has been resolved, and the injury is not too serious, so it will be fine to recuperate for two months." β
"Thank you, Second Master." Muyun Road.
"You are really reckless this time, and so is Lingxi, but it is just a few gossips from the subordinates, and you are still making a fuss about leaving, and you are still coaxing." The second master sighed, but he didn't want to say much about this fateful thing, so he only instructed Mu Yun: "Don't be so impulsive next time." β
"I know, but the Lingxi thing ......"
"You still don't get it?" The second master saw that he was still a little indignant, and raised his hand and knocked him on the head: "The subordinates are idle and have nothing to do when they come out to chew their tongues and talk nonsense, you still don't know Ruyi's temperament, if she really minds Lingxi and wants to drive her away, there are so many ways that you can't detect, will she do this?" There is also Lingxi......" Before the second master finished speaking, he saw Lingxi also coming over, and said directly: "You too, you don't know what kind of temperament Xiaoyan has?" A few words of gossip, making it like this, you are really ......" The second master didn't say the word 'disgrace', after all, Lingxi is just a daughter's family, and it's not good to say too much.
The second master didn't speak, just sighed and shook his head, and left.
Lingxi looked at the maids in the courtyard who were pressed to the ground and boarded, and then looked at Mu Yun, who was kneeling on one side and his face was frozen blue, and walked inside.
Mu Yun hurriedly stopped her: "Lingxi, Your Excellency is angry, don't go in now." β
"You don't have to worry about my business." Lingxi said coldly, and walked inside.
Zhiyu just came out of the basin full of blood, and when he saw that it was her, his eyebrows were slightly twisted, and he didn't know what to say, so he just turned his head and left.
Lingxi's palms tightened, and after walking in, he saw Lou Yan who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a solemn expression and Wei Ruyi, who was still unconscious.
"Your Excellency."
Lou Yan didn't say anything, and he didn't look at her.
Lingxi stopped in front of the bead curtain and said, "It's my fault this time, if you want to punish me, punish me alone, and the others are just passing the word." β
"If there is right and wrong in the National Teacher's Mansion, do you think they can still be tolerated?" Lou Yan has never said anything serious to Lingxi, they all grew up together, and he has different feelings for her and Mu Yun, but he can't fall into an unrighteous place because of this.
Lingxi looked at him, as if he had mustered up enough courage and caution: "What about me?" Isn't Your Excellency unable to tolerate me? β
Lou Yan glanced at her, disappointed, but only said: "You continue to go back and guard the villa, with Mu Yun here, there will be no accident in the National Teacher's Mansion for the time being." β
"But Muyun's medical skills are not as good as mine at all, and Wei ...... Although my wife's medical skills are good, I don't know what you have suffered for more than ten years, nor do I know the poison in your body, only I know best......"
Lou Yan looked at her and couldn't control her appearance, and glanced at the maid who was waiting: "Serve a good lady." With that, he got up and walked out, stopping slightly beside Lingxi: "Follow me." β
Lingxi's heart moved slightly, and he glanced at Wei Ruyi, who was lying motionless on the bed, before turning around and following Lou Yan all the way out of Qingfeng Courtyard.
After they left, Wei Ruyi slowly opened his eyes.
The maid on the side saw it, and hurriedly said in surprise: "Madam, you are awake, is there anything unwell, the slave and maid will go and tell the Venerable ......"
"How long have I been asleep?" Wei Ruyi asked her.
"You were sent back yesterday." The maid said, "Miss Muying is seriously injured, but Your Excellency has already asked the doctor to show her, and it is fine." β
"That's good." Wei Ruyi's hanging heart let go slightly, and when he saw that Zhiyu was back, he smiled and said to the maid: "I'm hungry, go to the kitchen and get me some food." β
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
The maid was particularly happy to comply, and hurried away.
Zhiyu came over, helped her up halfway, and took a soft pillow to cushion her back, and then cried with joy: "Fortunately, Miss, you are fine, otherwise the slave and maid will not live." β
"What a stupid thing to say." Wei Ruyi heard a strange sound outside the courtyard and asked Zhiyu, "What's wrong outside?" β
"Those yahuans who chew the root of the tongue have been found out, and they will be beaten in the courtyard at this time, and the honorable lord has ordered, one person will beat fifty boards, and then drive them out of the house, hum, let them be idle and talk nonsense."
"What nonsense?" Wei Ruyi asked her again.
Zhiyu pursed her lips slightly, thought about it, and told her truthfully: "What nonsense do you want to make the Lingxi girl want to make the honorable small, you don't agree or something, and then the girl who passed the word obviously knew about it, but only told you that the Lingxi girl was leaving, but you only thought that she was going to leave normally, and asked someone to send her a carriage, and the misunderstanding occurred, and Mu Yun felt that you deliberately forced her to go." β
Wei Ruyi remembered what Fang Cai Lingxi said to Lou Yan in the room, and was a little sad, if Brother Yan really wanted to marry her, then what should she do, Lingxi obviously couldn't bear the affection in his heart, so he would be provoked by these three words to leave the house.
"Tell the people outside to stop fighting, just kick everyone out." Wei Ruyi leaned on the side of the bed and said softly.
"Wouldn't that be cheaper for them......"
"They are already more familiar with Lingxi, and it is understandable that they want her to be a child for Brother Yan, let them go." Wei Ruyi really didn't want to make any more troubles in this matter, just drive people away, and now like this, it can be regarded as a deterrent to other restless subordinates, and it is enough.
Zhiyu still wanted to say more, Wei Ruyi only told her: "We just came to the National Teacher's Mansion, in the final analysis, no matter how much Brother Yan loves me, it is impossible to help me keep an eye on these hundreds of subordinates every day, you are now the big girl ring by my side, words and deeds, all represent my meaning, if you have to be unforgiving, in the future, the subordinates of this Manchu Mansion are only rampant when our master and servant are rampant, what do we want to do, if the bottom shirks and delays, wouldn't it be troublesome?" β
"But ...... are you the master?"
"Although I am the master, do I have the energy to watch them do everything every day?" Wei Ruyi asked her.
Zhiyu heard this, thought about it carefully, but also realized the truth, if she had been more secure before, maybe she would not have made this oolong.
She was about to kneel down immediately, but Wei Ruyi was only busy saying: "Stop, stop, don't kneel and admit your mistakes at every turn, it's good that you understand in your heart, go and tell the outside to stop first." β
Zhiyu is not a twisted character, so he immediately stood up straight and hurried outside.
Wei Ruyi felt that her head was still a little dizzy, and she remembered that it was Princess Luoning who lived in the post house who saved her that day, she had a good temperament, but she didn't like men, but it was a pity that Chen Youcai didn't have this blessing.
"By the way, Miss, Mu Yun is still kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, do you want to tell him to get up?" Zhiyu stretched his head in and asked.
"Nature." Wei Ruyi looked at her with a smile, and Zhiyu ran out.
When Mu Yun heard Zhiyu's words, he still couldn't believe it: "Madam doesn't blame me? β
"Madame said, it's useless to blame you, so get up, don't kneel here." Zhiyu blamed him, if he had brought someone to guard him yesterday, Miss might not have been so seriously injured.
When Mu Yun heard this, he thought about the Lingxi who had left with his honor, and he was not at ease, so he immediately got up, just because he had been kneeling for too long, and as soon as he stood up, he pounced directly on his legs and threw Zhiyu to the ground.
Zhiyu felt that her internal organs seemed to move, and her breathing was a little out of breath, her eyes stared at Mu Yun, who completely treated her as a meat cushion, and her teeth were clenched.
Mu Yun was busy getting up, but his legs couldn't make up his strength, and as soon as he got up a little, he fell down again, and Zhiyu almost cried.
Fortunately, someone in the yard soon came to help Mu Yun up, and Zhiyu got up from the snow with a sore body, but the clothes that Miss gave her some time ago were dirty, which was her favorite set.
"Zhiyu, I didn't mean to ......"
Zhiyu ignored him with a black face, turned his head and left.
Mu Yun was really guilty, but seeing her leave in a huff, and remembering the matter of Lingxi, he didn't stay long, and turned his head to chase forward.
In the pavilion near the lake, Lou Yan stood with his hands in his hands, and Lingxi stood behind to see that he was silent, plucked up his courage, and said with a slightly flushed face: "If you think that Lingxi is a woman, it is inconvenient to take care of your dignity like a lady, Lingxi doesn't mind......"
"I never thought you'd think like that. Lingxi, for so many years, I have always treated you as a relative, no different from other people in the mountain villa. Lou Yan interrupted her coldly.
Lingxi listened to his words, and her whole body froze in place, embarrassment, shame, and sadness of being clearly rejected welled up, leaving her at a loss, and she didn't even know whether to leave or stay here.
"It's cold, add more clothes." Lou Yan turned around, looked at her tearful eyes, and walked away.
Lingxi wanted to stop him, but the words reached his throat and blocked again.
...... the hell she What is inferior to people? In terms of companionship, she has been with him for more than ten years, and in terms of feelings, she has been in his heart since she first met him. She knew that he was not disgusted with herself, otherwise she would not have accepted herself close to him to take care of him for so many years, but why...... Why is it the way it is?
"Lingxi, are you okay, Xiao Yan has lost his temper with you, have you been injured...... When Mu Yun hurriedly came, she saw her standing alone in the gazebo, distressed.
Lingxi faced his nagging, and only turned away in a deep voice.
Mu Yun looked at her back and asked her unwillingly: "Lingxi, why do you want to chase an impossible person." β
"And what about you, and why are you??" Lingxi turned his head and asked him.
Mu Yun was stunned.
Lingxi looked at him, tears slowly fell, Mu Yun's palms tightened slightly, stepped forward to gently wipe away her tears, and said gently: "Even if you don't want to accept me, I am willing to be by your side like this for the rest of my life, as long as you are happy." β
"Really? How much are you willing to do for me? Lingxi asked him coldly.
"My life is yours, as long as you ...... I can give you anything if you want. Mu Yun said eagerly.
Hearing this, Lingxi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and hugged him, feeling his slightly stiff body, and his eyes were slightly cold.
Wei Ruyi had just finished drinking the secret porridge sent by Uncle Fang, when he saw Lou Yan coming back, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Brother Yan, has you had dinner?" β
"It's useless, slave and maid, let the kitchen prepare dinner." The maid on one side said, but Zhiyu said with a smile: "The meals sent by Uncle Fang are all for two people, why don't you just sit down here and use it with the young lady." β
The maids next to him didn't dare to speak, after all, with such an identity, how could they eat what others left.
But before Zhiyu finished speaking, Lou Yan nodded, asked someone to bring the dishes and chopsticks, sat down cross-legged opposite Wei Ruyi, and ate with her at this low table.
The meals are extremely light, but Lou Yan is still unhurried, not picky.
The dim candlelight was flickering, and the oblique shadows in the room were swaying, Wei Ruyi had to sneak a look at him from time to time, with long eyebrows and sideburns, phoenix eyes and hidden stars, high nose bridge and slightly cool lips, all of them were so perfect, especially when he lowered his eyes to eat, the long eyelashes like wings matched his flawless skin, which made Wei Ruyi's heart beat wildly.
"Enough of it?"
"No, the color of the Supreme is 'the stone is like jade, and the pine is like emerald.'" Lang Yan is unique, there is no other in the world', such a look, how can there be enough of a day? Wei Ruyi looked at him with a small face and smiled.
The maids on the side all lowered their heads and snickered in interest, Lou Yan lifted her eyelids slightly to see her unstingy appearance, and shook her head helplessly: "Learn some obscene words and songs." β
"Obscene lyrics? Do you know what is a lewd song? Wei Ruyi asked him.
Lou Yan looked at her deeply: "Every word of Madame, for me, is an obscene song and a beautiful song, touching and breathtaking. β
Wei Ruyi's little face turned red, Lou Yan only lightly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and glanced at her with half a bowl of porridge left: "Eat first." β
Wei Ruyi lowered his head to pick up the rice, picked it up, and couldn't help but look up at him, and whispered: "Where is Your Excellency staying tonight?" β
Lou Yan looked at her unrelenting appearance and raised her hand, Wei Ruyi thought that he was going to knock his head again, so he immediately closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not come, Lou Yan only gently rubbed her little head: "There is a couch in the compartment." β
"Let Zun Shang sleep on the warm couch, how bad is this." Wei Ruyi smiled: "Anyway, there are so many rooms, so many beds, and so many beauties in the house......"
"Okay, then sleep on the couch of the beauty. Knowing the rain, go to prepare the beauty and the couch. Lou Yan was about to get up as he spoke, but Wei Ruyi saw that he had teased the boat of love, and coughed hurriedly.
Seeing this, Lou Yan immediately asked someone to remove the low table, sat on the edge of the bed and ordered someone to bring water, but the water was not brought, Wei Ruyi snuggled in his arms, and laughed softly: "There is a beauty here, why bother to prepare an extra bed, it's not a waste of it." β
Lou Yan smiled at her: "Madame, is this going to recommend yourself for a pillow?" β
Wei Ruyi: "......"
Zhiyu is blushing anyway, this national teacher, who usually looks cold and doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, was taken by Miss like this, hey, Miss is really harmful.
At night, the lamp was blown out and the quilt was covered, Wei Ruyi lay on him and wanted to take off his clothes, but he was directly encircled in his arms by Lou Yan and couldn't move.
"Your Excellency, I can't sleep......"
"No, you really want to sleep." Lou Yan wrapped her tightly, seeing that she was still wrapped in thick gauze on her forehead, her eyes were cold, and she hugged him tightly before falling asleep.
That night, a large fire broke out in a treasury secretly hidden in the capital of Xiao Wangfu, and the fire burned all night, and all the silver tickets and countless treasures in it were burned clean.
It's just a loss of money, but it's this fire that burned out the bunch of weapons that he hid inside.
When the news came back, although Jiang Di didn't expect it, he was not as annoyed as he imagined: "Can you be sure that someone from the National Teacher's Mansion did it?" β
"Except for the National Teacher's Mansion, who would dare to do it?" The man below said in a deep voice.
Jiang Di smiled coldly, and after sending everyone out, he turned around and entered the secret room: "It seems that Lou Yan can't hold his breath, now that he is doing something to me, I can go and tell my father that he noticed the secret that I discovered the son of his Qin family, and did it, and when his trust in his father is destroyed little by little, I see what capital he has to fight with this king!" β
"Are you really sure it's the hand of the National Teacher's Mansion?"
"Who else but him? And the evidence is very simple, they didn't stay, I'll just do some evidence. β
The black-robed man inside turned around with a sneer, looked at his conceited appearance, and chuckled: "I chose King Rong first for the sake of his willingness to be obedient. You're more sophisticated than him, but you're nowhere near as good as him. β
Jiang Di's face was slightly pale, and his eyes overflowed with murderous intent.
"You can think about killing me, but now you don't have the capital. This time, you should admit it, I advise you not to go to the palace, otherwise it will be you who will lose more than you gain. β
"Is this king going to see the loss ......?"
"What's the loss of something outside of your body? I've told you that murder is a punishment. Zhuohua did a good job this time, let her continue to do it, don't think that one move can get rid of Lou Yan and his wife, and it is interesting to disintegrate them little by little. β
Jiang Di looked at her, he couldn't guess her identity at all, just like Lou Ruo, even if she said that she wanted to help herself, he didn't know if she really helped herself or took revenge.
He turned to leave, but heard her say, "Sacrifice ceremony...... Do you want to go? β
Jiang Di's footsteps stopped slightly: "Can you do it?" β
The woman smiled coldly: "I can't do it, but there is one person who can do it." β
"Who?"
"Wei Xin, his life is the best chess piece you can use in your hand."
