Chapter 114: Smooth
Yun Tao himself didn't expect that he would die in this way, he only felt that his abdomen hurt so much that he was numb, the world was spinning, and the feeling of death was approaching, which made people tremble from the bottom of his heart.
Wei Ruyi watched from afar as someone caught the mad cow, watched Yun Tao fall off the horns, and watched the people in a circle slowly disperse in fright, and then turned around and left.
As soon as Yun Tao died, the Yun family would no longer have anything to rely on, so there was nothing to fear.
But she thought that the most anxious person now should be King Rui.
King Rui is indeed in a hurry now, Yun Tao is the most powerful minister under him, although he has been unsatisfactory recently, but he has been in the officialdom for so long, and the branches and leaves are intertwined with huge figures, and he has not even been able to firmly grasp all his forces in his hands.
"Lord Wang, where are you going?"
Fang Qiaoqiao took the freshly stewed chicken soup and wanted to come close to King Rui, but when he walked to the door of his study, he saw him coming out of the house with a blue face.
When King Rui saw that it was her, his expression was cold: "Didn't you let you go back to Fang's house, why did you come back so soon?" ”
"The concubine wants to serve His Royal Highness......" Fang Qiaoqiao immediately said softly, and King Rui only got more and more bored the more he looked at it, snorted coldly, and then threw his sleeves and went out.
Fang Qiaoqiao saw that he repeatedly refused to give himself face, and the fingers holding the soup were white, she knew that it must be because Qi Zheng and Concubine had hooked King Rui's heart, so that he didn't even want to look at himself more.
"Princess, are you alright?" Yahuan on one side asked her cautiously, Fang Qiaoqiao came back to her senses, only to find that the decoction had actually spilled out and splashed on her hand, and it was very hot.
She snorted softly and threw the soup bowl on the ground, only then glared at the girl ring angrily: "You are dumb, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
"Slaves and maids are also ......" Yahuan was busy explaining, but Fang Qiaoqiao seemed to have thought of something, and her expression was slightly ruthless: "Go, find someone to get a dumb medicine." ”
"Dumb medicine?" Yahuan began to feel uneasy, and Fang Qiaoqiao only stared at her coldly: "What, don't you want to?" If you don't want to, then go find a rope and hang yourself! ”
"Yes, slave and maid are going!" Yahuan's face turned white, so she hurriedly went to do it.
As soon as she left, Fang Qiaoqiao rubbed her hot hand and went back, but she didn't see the other girl ring standing behind her with a sneaky look.
After Fang Qiaoqiao left, the girl turned her head and went to Qi Zheng's house.
After Wei Ruyi returned to Chen's mansion, he soon received a letter from Qi Zheng, saying that he wanted her to post a post and invite her to come out to play.
When she first got this post, Mu Ying was surprised: "When did she have such a good relationship with Miss You, and you want you to invite her out." ”
Wei Ruyi smiled lightly: "She probably wanted to do something to her sister-in-law, but she planned to kill three birds with one stone and count me into it." ”
"Then don't post to her."
"The post is still going to be placed, instruct people, go and prepare the gilding post, just say that there is a courtyard next to the Songshi Pavilion in the west of the city, and the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, please come out and enjoy the laurel by the lord of Qi." Wei Ruyi said with a smile.
Mu Ying thought about it, when did Miss have another courtyard there?
"Are you mistaken, when did you have another courtyard there?"
"I don't have it, but His Royal Highness King Rong does." Wei Ruyi swept Qi Zheng's letter again, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "The letter has been kept, when we enter the palace to greet the concubine Niangniang, we must bring it." ”
Wei Ru thought about it, and strode forward happily with his hands behind his back.
The afternoon sun was a little stronger, and after walking for a while, sweat oozed from her forehead, Wei Ruyi thought that there should be a ring in the house and be happy, and she was in a better mood, she cleaned up in the afternoon, and she wanted to go to see Sister Qingshui again later, I don't know if Jin Chenghan is dead or not, if she is dead, it is best to ask someone to pull it to bury it earlier.
She thought as she walked, and before she could enter the courtyard, she heard someone calling her.
She turned her head and saw that it was the housekeeper, and looked at him with a smile: "What are you doing in such a hurry, but my grandfather is looking for me?" ”
"Yes, the national teacher is here, and he is discussing with the old lady that he wants to advance the marriage, and the old lady said, if you come back, go to the front hall immediately......
Before the housekeeper's words were finished, he saw that Wei Ruyi, who was still panting and looking like he was about to die of heat, had already run to the front hall like an arrow from the string.
He blinked, glanced at Mu Ying, and barely squeezed out a sentence: "Miss Biao is really good legs!" ”
Mu Ying grinned and quickly followed.
After Wei Ruyi arrived in the front hall, he didn't say a word, he first drank two cups of tea before sitting aside, panting and saying, "I agree." ”
Lou Yan caught a glimpse of her like this, her eyes were slightly deep, but Old Lady Chen looked at her speechlessly: "What do you agree with?" ”
"Agree to advance the marriage!" Wei Ruyi is a serious way.
The second lady on the side laughed so badly that she pointed at her and said, "You little girl, look at what you are in a hurry, just now your grandfather is saying, does Lou Yan want to take a concubine, you ran in because you agreed, agreed to him to take a concubine?" How many concubines are there? What kind of identity did they bring in? ”
Wei Ruyi was blindfolded, she didn't expect her grandfather to be so lenient!
She immediately looked at Lou Yan seriously: "If you need it, it's okay to take a concubine." ”
Chen Youcai almost squirted out of the water he drank in his mouth, what is 'need', taking concubines is an ordinary thing, which man is not three wives and four concubines? Dare to be in Ruyi here, it has become a need or not.
He smiled directly: "Ruyi, there is no such thing as you, if he wants to take a concubine, he will naturally take a concubine." ”
"The national teacher is not like a talented brother." Wei Ruyi snorted proudly, Chen Youcai was so angry that he stood up and flicked her forehead with his hand: "How can you talk to my brother, what do you call me like this, what is wrong with me like this, young and handsome, young and ......"
"The national teacher is calm, and he is not a woman." Wei Ruyi raised his little face and asked Lou Yan: "Right?" ”
Lou Yan looked at her smug appearance, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she only nodded faintly.
Chen Youcai saw that Lou Yan actually indulged her like this, his eyebrows were slightly raised, he had only heard that this big corrupt official was scheming and scheming, but he couldn't see that he would be so attentive to Ruyi, a little girl.
"Then the national teacher is not going to take a concubine?"
"Wishful thinking is enough." Lou Yan opened his mouth, so that Chen Jian, who was drowsy on the side, woke up.
Old Lady Chen just stroked her beard with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, even if that's the case, it's easy to talk about the early marriage." The weather in October is just right, lukewarm, and just in time for the emperor's birthday, although the old lady and Princess An Chang died, everything is simple, but as long as you are willing, we won't say anything. He was a hundred satisfied with Lou Yan, because he knew things in his heart, and knew that he was going to talk about Ruyi to find himself, not to find Wei Xin's fool.
Wei Ruyi's heart jumped up like a fawn, she looked at Lou Yan sitting opposite, and only felt that the afterglow outside the house fell on him, making him look as if he would shine, and everything around him was dimmer.
In the evening, the old lady still left Lou Yan to eat, but Lou Yan still had to deal with the affairs of the Yun family, so he only stayed for a while and left, and specially told Wei Ruyi when he left: "If I find out that you are messing around with other men again, when you marry and come to the National Teacher's Mansion, I will ask you to stay alone in the empty room and think about it behind closed doors." ”
"I'm not messing with any other man!" Wei Ruyi immediately defended, and after arguing, he thought of Ayi and frowned, could it be that Brother Yan was referring to him, but it was clear that Ayi was his subordinate!
"Brother Yan, you shouldn't be jealous, right?" Wei Ruyi asked him sweetly, Lou Yan's long eyes turned slightly, with a little indifference: "The little girl is in the palm of my hand, what vinegar is there to eat?" ”
"Tut-tut...... It's clear that I'm jealous, and I don't admit it. Wei Ruyi shook her head exaggeratedly, glanced at her from the corner of her eye, pursed her lips slightly, and before she came back to her senses, she raised her hand and pinched her nose.
Wei Ruyi couldn't breathe suddenly, and hurriedly opened his mouth to exhale, looking at him blankly, only to find that his eyes were full of anger and vinegar, and his heart was sweet.
But sweet to sweet, she can't breathe!
"Brother Yan......" she shouted angrily, Lou Yan raised the corners of her lips and let her go, saw her almost bubbles of snot, took out her handkerchief and wiped it for her, and then turned around and left.
Wei Ruyi's face was flushed, but she didn't know what was wrong now, her skin became extraordinarily thick, even if she almost bubbled up her nose just now, she didn't feel embarrassed, she only smiled and waved the handkerchief that Lou Yan handed him and shouted at his carriage with a smile: "Master Guoshi, come and play next time!" ”
Ah Zhong's horsewhip almost struck him, and his face twitched, this Miss Wei is really shapeless.
Lou Yan only smiled slightly, could it be that he was relaxed and leaned back in the carriage, thinking that he would soon be able to welcome her, and his heart, which had no hope for the future, slowly warmed up again.
On the corner of the street, while combing the feathers of the Bailuo bird, she looked at Sha Mu on the street faintly, and saw Lou Yan's carriage driving into sight, and with a slight lift of her wrist, her bird flew out like an arrow from the string, and quickly headed towards Lou Yan's carriage.
However, before the bird could touch the carriage, a dart flew out of the shadows, directly cutting off the bird's head, and immediately after, another dart immediately stabbed into the wall in front of Shamu, cutting off a strand of her black hair.
"There are such masters around him." The man on the side said.
"yes, I didn't even notice it before." Sha Mu took off the dart, looked at it, and chuckled: "The people in the first village in the world are really extraordinary, but the person who destroyed half of my family's poison arsenal back then was also from the first village in the world, could it be that the man back then was the man who used the darts?" ”
"I don't know, since that incident, he seems to have disappeared, and there has never been such an amazing and brilliant teenager in the world." The man thought for a moment and said.
Sha Mu didn't speak, just watched Lou Yan's carriage drift away before going to the post house.
When she returned to the inn, the maid beside Princess Fusang ran over and said, "Miss Shamu, the princess wants to see you." ”
"I'm busy."
"The princess said that the matter of harmony has been decided, please make sure to go." The maid said that she was going to come to Fushamu, but Shamu only glanced at her with great disgust, and then frowned and walked towards the place where Princess Fusang was.
At that time, there was still a trace of the fragrance of a man's body in it, she had a keen sense of smell, and immediately sensed who it was, only looked at the veiled woman behind the bead curtain in the room, and said coldly: "Is it King Rong?" ”
"It's him. He had written to his father, and he was pleased with him. "Princess Fusang's name is Luo Ning, and after speaking, she just looked at Sha Mu stupidly.
Sha Mu didn't even want to take another step inside, so she only said coldly: "That's good, congratulations to the princess first." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Luo Ning stood up hurriedly, tears in her eyes: "Shamu, do you really hate me so much?" As I said, I can put away all the thoughts I shouldn't have, and we're friends who don't talk to anything, just like before......"
"No way, I remember how we used to ...... I just felt sick. After Shamu finished speaking in disgust, he asked her coldly, "Do you have anything else?" ”
"I ...... I just wanted to inform you. Luo Ning lowered her eyes in an injured manner, her voice was soft, her fair face became more and more pale, and her delicate body seemed to fall down in an instant.
Shamu frowned, didn't say a word, and walked out quickly.
Luo Ning looked at her back and left, only lying on the table and sobbing quietly, but the marriage with King Rong was already imperative.
King Rong is now only waiting for King Ping and King Zhao to leave the capital, and then he can join forces with Fusang and directly force the palace.
"You really plan to force the palace, you must know that although King Ping and King Zhao are gone, there is still a Lou Yan, and he is the biggest hidden danger." A slightly hoarse voice asked him.
King Rong looked at the woman dressed in black clothes and black veil, who clearly looked young, but she spoke like a woman in her forties and fifties, and couldn't help but say: "Didn't you say that Lou Yan died at the hands of King Xiao in his previous life?" How did King Xiao let him die, I will concoct the same method and let him die again. ”
"The reason why King Xiao was able to succeed in his previous life was because Wei Ruyi trusted him. But now, will Wei Ruyi trust you? The woman asked him in a deep voice, and King Rong smiled, "What are you afraid of?" Zuo is just a death, you can be reborn once, maybe you can be reborn a second time. ”
Seeing that he actually said such words, the woman pursed her lips slightly, and her black hole eyes seemed to have the flames of hell jumping, revealing endless coldness and killing intent.
"If you insist on going your own way, then before you do it, find someone who is born again like me, if you don't get rid of this person, you will definitely fail." The woman said.
King Rong had already suspected Wei Ruyi, and now he only lacked Wei Ruyi to admit it personally.
"Don't worry, I'll get rid of it!"
Soon, the emperor issued a summoning order, appointing King Ping as the crown prince and letting him tour Jiangnan on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
As soon as the news came out, the happiest person was the Pingwang Party, they all felt that they were on the right team, and what was waiting for them from now on was that it was smooth sailing!
Wei Xin was also very happy, so happy that he almost wanted to go out and set off a string of firecrackers, firstly, the Yun clan who brought him a green hat died, and secondly, Yun Tao, who might find him to settle accounts, also died, so that the Yun family's threat to him was completely gone, and thirdly, he knew that Lou Yan was from the Pingwang faction, so he himself was from the Pingwang faction, how could he not be happy?
"Master Hou, everything is ready, do you think you will send it to Pingwangfu or the National Teacher's Mansion first?" The little guy asked earnestly.
"First send it to the Pingwang Mansion, and then send it to the National Teacher's Mansion, the battle must be big, and it must be sent over decently." also let those people outside see what his identity is Wei Xin! Those who dare to break his legs in the gambling hall, he will never be spared!
Thinking of this, he became more and more happy, even if the Chen Mansion sent a message saying that Lou Yan was going to advance the marriage, he immediately agreed without much difficulty.
In the afternoon, Wei Ruyi finally waited for the snow to be traceless.
I didn't see her for a few days, Xue Wuxian was a lot haggard, her eyelids drooped weakly, the fat powder on her face had not been cleaned up, and she was still wearing that delicate pink gown, so when she came to her, she sat down on the stool like a puddle of mud, and said, "It's done, wait for the good news." ”
"Really?"
"I can't do anything?" Snow Traceless glanced at her and snorted softly.
Wei Ruyi immediately asked Mu Ying to inquire, and after a while, Mu Ying came back and said, "Just after noon today, Fang Jian was found to have spent 100,000 taels of cash to buy Juxian Building. ”
Wei Ruyi was very satisfied: "Yes, let him give you such a big blood." ”
"It's a pity that he lost all his money." After Xue Wuxian finished speaking, he got up to leave, Wei Ruyi glanced at Mu Ying, Mu Ying immediately went to the inner room with a sense of understanding, and after a while, he came out with a wooden box, handed it to Xue Wuxian and said, "Miss gave you a thank you gift." ”
Xue Wuxian looked at the box suspiciously, firstly, he couldn't believe that Wei Ruyi would be so kind, and secondly, he was very tired now, and he didn't want any thanks.
"Look, if you don't want it, I'll take it back for money." Wei Ruyi sat down comfortably, crossed Erlang's legs, and then squinted his eyes and said.
Xue Wuxian looked at her like this, but he still couldn't hold back, opened the wooden box, and when he opened it, he couldn't take his eyes off.
This smooth line, this perfect posture, this touch makes the heart beat faster......
"Where did you find this?" Snow Without a Trace picked it up like a treasure.
Mu Ying chuckled: "Where else can it be, naturally I bought it." This light skill cheats only appeared once in the black market some time ago, and the young lady paid attention to it and wanted to give it to you. ”
Xue Wuxian was so moved that he burst into tears, he didn't have much desire for anything else, but this kind of martial arts secret method was his favorite.
Wei Ru liked it, so he was relieved: "You are tired these days, go and rest, the rest of the things will be done by Xiaoyao and Dachun Erchun." ”
"Then I'll go back first. By the way, Fang Jian, that idiot, also said that he wanted to be my first ...... with him A big party will be held in Juxian Building, and a large group of people who have the same hobbies as him will pass by this evening, and there will be a lot of forcibly taken children......"
Xue Wuxian's eyes darkened, and Wei Ruyi immediately understood what he meant: "Don't worry." ”
Fang Jian's house, he has the goodness of Longyang, but he still likes to rely on the power of his father and sister to forcibly kidnap the children of his beloved family and go back to spoil them, this should be cut with a thousand cuts!
When it got dark, Wei Ruyi was ready to act, and at this time, Uncle Fang suddenly came to the door in person.
When Wei Ruyi saw him at the back corner door, he was followed by a little eunuch.
She felt familiar, lifted the lantern and looked at it carefully, only to recognize: "Ju'er, why are you here?" ”
"Miss Wei, you should go to the palace with the slave maid immediately, the concubine Niangniang...... Oh no. Ju'er knelt eagerly on the ground, her tone choked up.
Wei Ruyi remembered what Mu Ying said two days ago, the concubine Niangniang was sick, and couldn't help worrying: "Don't worry, what's going on, but you have asked the imperial doctor?" ”
"Please, yes, but the imperial doctor who often treats the concubine has been kept by the queen's side for the past two days, and the other imperial doctors said that they couldn't see any problems, but the concubine's health is getting worse day by day, and she coughed up blood after dinner tonight, and the slave maid really couldn't do anything, so she slipped out and begged Uncle Fang, so that Uncle Fang could wait for the slave to come to see you." Ju'er said quickly, and the more Wei Ruyi listened, the more frightened she became.
What is the identity of Ju'er, the big celebrity around the concubine Niangniang, even if she is out of the palace and is so sneaky, she doesn't dare to come to the Chen Mansion to find herself directly, but she is afraid that something will happen to the concubine Niangniang, not because of her own reasons, but because someone else has used the means.
"Did anyone find out when you came?" Wei Ruyi asked her.
Ju'er shook her head: "The slave maid has always been careful in her work, and she knows that this time the matter is serious, so she used the hidden connections of Concubine Xian to leave the palace, except for Concubine Xian, no one else will know." ”
"Okay, I'll enter the palace now." Wei Ruyi did not hesitate, Concubine Roujia is the reliance of Concubine Xian and King Zhao, that is, King Ping's biggest reliance, if something happens to her, not only King Zhao is in danger, Concubine Xian and King Ping are afraid that something will happen, but the queen can also take this opportunity to regain control of the harem.
Mu Ying also followed: "The slave and maid will also enter the palace with you......"
"No, Fang Jian's matter must be resolved tonight, otherwise my next plans will all be messed up." Wei Ruyi comforted Mu Ying, and looked at Ju'er, who had always been calm and composed, in a hurry, and didn't dare to delay any longer, so she immediately went back to change her clothes and went into the palace with her.
At this time, in the palace of the concubine, Roujia was lying on the bed in a semi-coma, and the imperial doctor said that she needed to recuperate, so the emperor sent Concubine Xian and the others back, but Zhuohua said that he wanted to stay and serve, so he left her alone.
After everyone went down, Zhuohua also said to the palace people in the palace: "You all go down." ”
Everyone was Roujia's people, and when they heard this, they did not leave.
Zhuohua got up slowly, took the medicine brought by the palace people on the side, and said softly: "There are many of you, the air in the room is stuffy, Yu Niangniang's body is not beneficial, if you are not at ease, just guard outside the door, I will serve here." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and then they bowed and withdrew.
Rou Jia's hand moved slightly, and Zhuohua only stood up lightly to cover her hand.
Before the palace people left, they also deliberately looked at Roujia, and when they saw that there was still no movement, they all withdrew.
When everyone left, Zhuohua picked up the medicine in the bowl, blew it, and said softly: "Guifei Niangniang, Zhuohua feeds you the medicine, drink this bowl of medicine, and your illness will be cured immediately." ”
