Chapter 142: Cornered
The bandits outside rushed into the hall one by one, and when they found an opportunity, Jiang Di quietly left.
Lou Yan glanced at the direction Jiang Di left and instructed Mu Yun: "Follow up." ”
"And what do you do?" Mu Yun was not at ease, Lou Yan only waited in a deep voice: "Go and see who he is meeting with, where did so many bandits come from, you must find out." ”
Mu Yun saw that his tone was resolute, so he could only follow him out quickly.
After he left, Jiang Yan pulled out his sword and guarded Lou Yan's side: "I didn't expect the Fourth Emperor Brother to make such a move." ”
"He was also forced to be anxious, now that the emperor's body is not getting better day by day, he must be in a hurry, whether you or the prince sit in that position, he will not end well." Lou Yan said, glancing at the prince who was on guard on the side, his eyes were faint.
The people outside came in, and the hall that should have been a clean area was quickly filled with blood, and the solemn Buddha statue was particularly ironic now.
The prince looked at Lou Yan, stepped back to his side, and asked, "Since General Chen was able to come in time, you must have anticipated this incident in advance." ”
"Wechen doesn't have the ability to predict the future." Lou Yan said lightly, the prince did not say anything, but smiled sarcastically: "You said that the palace forgot its original intention, so what about King Zhao?" Didn't you tell him that there would be a river of blood today? ”
Jiang Yan frowned, he really didn't know that this would happen, and it seemed that Xiao Yan shouldn't know either.
Soon someone assassinated Lou Yan, Jiang Yan raised his sword to block it, but the guards retreated and began to escort the prince away.
The prince glanced at Jiang Yan with a serious face, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
After he left, Jiang Yan said, "Xiao Yan, do you want to avoid the limelight too." ”
"Well, you stay and deal with it here." After Lou Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left, and several times he had to assassinate him regardless of life and death, but he was solved by Ah Zhong Ayi, who had been hiding in the shadows, until he came out of the apse and saw the novice who had been waiting for him here.
The little novice came forward and recited the words of Amitabha, and said, "Donor, the host wants to see you." ”
"Please." After Lou Yan said that, Xiao Shami led him to the back of the pagoda that was still quiet.
Bypassing the pagoda, it is where the monks live, and the abbot is a small courtyard alone, with vermilion walls and green glazed tiles, with a camphor tree that has only been planted for two years at the door, like a place outside the world.
Lou Yan asked Ah Zhong Ayi to wait outside, and then walked inside.
"You're here." When the abbot heard the sound, he poured out two cups of freshly brewed tea and said with a light smile.
"Master won't go out and have a look?" Lou Yan sat down cross-legged on the futon opposite him, and the abbot only smiled: "Life and death are fate, and when the old man goes out, he just watches the lives in misery, so it is better to recite the mantra of death here, and pray that they can enter reincarnation and reincarnate as soon as possible." ”
Lou Yan took the tea he handed over, and his eyes were still faint: "The master invited me to come because he knows what is going on today." ”
Master Abbot still smiled calmly, and after taking a sip of tea, he shook his head with a smile: "I invited Xiaoyou here today, I am here to say goodbye." ”
"The master is going to Yunyou again?"
"It's been too long, and the day has come." Master Lingtong was still smiling, looking at Lou Yan, as if he was going to see through his life.
Lou Yan heard him say that he was about to pass away, as if he wanted to witness the death of his old friend, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted.
Lingtong saw it very openly, and took out a talisman from his arms with a smile: "I wrote it in my spare time, although it is useless, but it is good for you to keep it at ease." And your wife, although her life is different from others, she is willing to endure hardships, as long as you can get through it. ”
Lou Yan knew that Lingtong's words had always worked, although he looked like a pedantic old monk, and whether it was the previous guidance or the later reminders, they were very accurate.
He said that he and Ruyi need to boil, what is it?
Coming out of the Lingtong Master, the front hall has slowly returned to silence.
Ah Zhong walked over, looked at him and said, "Your Excellency, Madam is fine now, the assassins in the front hall have almost been caught, but His Royal Highness King Zhao and Xiao Jiang Gongzi have been injured a little." ”
"How's the injury?" Lou Yan asked him.
"Xiao Jiang Gongzi is fine, only slightly injured, but His Royal Highness King Zhao was pierced through the left abdomen by a sharp sword, although he has already taken the Heart Protection Pill, but I don't know if there is poison on the sword." Ah Chung.
Lou Yan's face condensed slightly: "What about the medical monks in the temple?" ”
"They are all taking care of the people, and His Royal Highness King Zhao also said that he will take care of the people first." Ah Zhong replied.
"In that case, please come out as you wish, you go and protect it, there should be a lot of assassins lurking in the woods." Lou Yan said that, and went to find Jiang Yan.
Wei Ruyi was eating dim sum little by little at this time, but he was worried about Lou Yan in his heart, he didn't know how to work hard, in case the protection was not good, if he was injured, how good would it be. 、
In the secret room, except for her worry, no one's heart was let go.
Chen Yansleeve and Mu Ying were guarding the entrance of the cave with swords in case someone broke in, but Hu Qingwei couldn't sit still at all, walking back and forth, and his heart was in his throat, which made Mrs. Hu's face pale with nervousness.
Seeing this, Mother Xie whispered to Wei Ruyi: "Miss, this son should be about the same." ”
"Well, I'm worried that there's someone out there."
As soon as Wei Ruyi's words fell, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.
Everyone breathed in unison, and then the sound of swords clashing was heard.
Wei Ruyi said happily: "Could it be that Brother Yan and they have already come?" ”
Mu Ying hurriedly opened the entrance, but before he could see Lou Yan, he saw the prince who was smiling coldly.
"You're here." The prince looked at Wei Ruyi and Chen Yansleeve who were hidden, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, if those people were Jiang Di's killers, then Jiang Di would definitely send someone to catch Wei Ruyi and Chen Yansleeve in addition to killing them, but Wei Ruyi and they hid here, indicating that Lou Yan really guessed Jiang Di's actions early on.
Chen Yansleeve looked back at Wei Ruyi, put away the sword in his hand, but did not relax his vigilance, and only said: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, have the bandits outside been solved?" ”
After speaking, a sharp blade stabbed behind the prince, and as soon as Chen Yansleeve wanted to make a move, the sword that stabbed at the prince was picked open, and then those assassins disguised as bandits were also killed.
The prince's people surrounded this small entrance, Wei Ruyi faintly felt that something was wrong, and secretly glanced at Xie's mother, asking her to take out all the drugs hidden in this cave.
Just when she decided to find a way to get out of the prince's control and go to Lou Yan first, she heard a laugh outside: "What a coincidence, I actually met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, what's wrong here, why have so many people died?" ”
Zhao Ji?
Wei Ruyi blinked strangely, how could he appear here?
The prince was also surprised when he saw that it was him, but Zhao Ji is the most favored great-grandson of the emperor of Qi now, and offending him is equivalent to offending Qi Guo.
The crown prince glanced at the people in the secret room, and then smiled faintly: "Why did the fourteenth prince come here too?" ”
"Princess Jinghe and the national teacher invited me here, are the two of them here?" Zhao Ji walked over with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Wei Ruyi's blank eyes, he smiled lightly: "Princess Jinghe, why are you hiding here, is the weather bad outside, I just saw General Chen coming here with someone, you haven't come out yet, he won't be able to find it for a while." ”
The prince's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at Zhao Ji: "I have never heard that the relationship between the fourteenth prince and the National Teacher's Mansion is so good." ”
"I have a good relationship with Gongzi Chen, so I have gotten closer to the National Teacher's Mansion, especially Princess Jinghe has a cook, and the dim sum she makes is particularly delicious, has the prince ever tasted it?" Zhao Ji said as he walked towards the edge of the secret room, stopping the guards with knives behind him.
Although Wei Ruyi was not sure of the purpose of his appearance here, since he was there, the crown prince would not act rashly.
After thinking about it, he said to Mrs. Hu and Hu Qingwei: "Let's come out too, otherwise Brother Yan and His Royal Highness King Zhao will not be able to find us when they come over in a while." ”
Although Mrs. Hu was afraid, seeing Wei Ruyi's firm gaze, she still nodded and came out with her.
When they all came out, Chen Yansleeve obviously felt a murderous aura, Mu Ying carefully guarded Wei Ruyi and Hu Qingwei's mother and daughter, but Zhao Ji still smiled lightly: "It's boring to stand here, His Royal Highness the Prince, let's go ahead and take a look." ”
The prince was still hesitating, it was easy for him to take Wei Ruyi away, but a Zhao Ji appeared, if he wanted to take Wei Ruyi away now, Zhao Ji would definitely not pretend not to see it.
Just as he hesitated, Ah Zhong had already arrived.
Ah Zhong sensed the condensed atmosphere around him, and saluted Wei Ruyi: "Madam, now that the front is in place, Your Excellency will let your subordinates pick you up." ”
"Hmm." Wei Ru saw Ah Zhong, and the stone in his heart was put down, and he walked forward quickly.
The prince watched the duck fly like this, only slightly hooked the corners of his lips, stared at Zhao Ji, who was about to leave, and said with a smile: "When did Qi Guo also want to get involved in the affairs of Beiyan?" ”
Zhao Ji hurriedly said: "Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstand something?" When did Daqi participate in the affairs of Beiyan, could it be that I suddenly appeared here just now, delaying His Royal Highness the Prince, and making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy? ”
Zhao Ji asked so clearly, the prince's face stiffened slightly, and he listened to him again: "Speaking of which, I am still related to Jiang Wangfu, and it is not too much for me to pick up the future daughter-in-law of the Jiang family now, I really can't figure out what is delaying His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give you some advice?" ”
The crown prince saw that Zhao Ji was deliberately blocking his steps, and he completely dispelled the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to take Wei Ruyi away today, and only chuckled: "The fourteenth prince misunderstood, and the palace just asked casually." ”
Zhao Ji smiled lightly, didn't talk anymore, looked at the women who were far away, only raised his eyebrows slightly, and followed.
When he arrived at the front hall, the strong blood made Wei Ruyi feel uncomfortable for a while, and he almost didn't vomit it out, and he brought a sachet with Xie's mother and immediately gave it to her.
Wei Ruyi covered the sachet and didn't dare to look at the bloodstained hall, so he hurried to the side room.
At that time, Princess Jiang was talking in the flower hall, little Jiang Gongzi's arm was injured and he had already been bandaged, Hu Qingwei came, and saw that he was actually injured, and his eyes were immediately wet.
"Are you alright?"
She is not married yet, so she doesn't dare to express her emotions too bluntly, so she only asks him quietly when there are many people.
Jiang Zhan smiled on his face when he heard her greeting like a thief, and quietly replied to her: "It's okay, it's just a slight injury." ”
"Really?" Hu Qingwei asked secretly.
Jiang Zhan also quietly replied: "Really, when you get married, I'll let you take a look at the wound, a very small injury, it's fine." ”
Hu Qingwei listened to his words, although it was normal, but she couldn't help but blush.
Princess Jiang quietly watched the two of them whispering secretly and obediently, her eyes were bent into a slit, her daughter-in-law is really good.
After Wei Ruyi saluted everyone, he went to see Jiang Yan in the room with Chen Yanchong.
Since Jiang Yan was injured, he began to slowly develop a fever, and his consciousness gradually became unclear.
"How's it going?" Wei Ruyi came over, looked Lou Yan up and down, back and forth, and after making sure that he was fine, he took a handkerchief and put it on Jiang Yan's wrist to check the pulse.
After a while, she furrowed her brows: "When will the imperial doctor arrive?" ”
"Coming here from the capital, it will take half a day to say the least." Someone replied.
Chen Yansleeve hurriedly asked Wei Ruyi: "Is it okay to do half a day......
"Half a day...... I'm afraid that he will be cold at that time. ”
Wei Ruyi said, turned his head and looked at Lou Yan: "I want to apply needles." ”
Lou Yan's eyes flashed slightly: "Whole body? ”
Wei Ruyi nodded.
Lou Yan's face was entangled a few times, he was really entangled, but it was impossible for him to watch Jiang Yan die, and he would have left Mu Yun behind.
He sat down next to him with a dark face: "Needle." ”
Wei Ruyi saw that he had no intention of going out, and smiled lightly: "There are masters here who know medical skills, and there are some parts, I will tell the masters where to pierce them." ”
Lou Yan glanced at Ayi, Ayi understood, flew out, and after a while, he grabbed a monk with a confused face and came back.
Wei Ruyi knew that there were still many injured people outside, so he only said, "Then start with the important parts first." ”
After that, Chen Yansleeve began to undress, and the medical monk began to prick needles, and after piercing the parts that Wei Ruyi couldn't see with his eyes, Ayi You hugged the monk and went out quickly.
After the others left, Wei Ruyi turned around and began to deal with Jiang Yan with a silver needle.
This treatment was more than half an hour, and when all the needles were pricked, Wei Ruyi was already sweating profusely, and she almost fell to the ground weakly, but fortunately, Lou Yan easily fished her in her arms.
Chen Yansleeve saw that Lou Yan was distressed and eager to suffer this crime for her, his eyes were full of envy, and Jiang Yan was also sweating because of the needle, and the fever also subsided.
"Water ......"
He called in a low voice, and Chen Yansleeve hurriedly poured water, and carefully fed it to his mouth one by one, for fear that he would accidentally choke.
After the tea was fed, Wei Ruyi hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, don't talk first, you have to rest for a while, and after the poison in the body is discharged, I will give you moxibustion ......."
Jiang Yan vaguely heard Wei Ruyi's voice, and barely opened his eyes, only to see that not only Wei Ruyi was also there, but Lou Yan was also there, and Yan Sleeve was also there.
He was relieved, but before he could speak, Ayi came back from outside, and brought a gust of wind, which was cool on his body.
Jiang Yan paused for a moment, feeling that this coolness was unusual, and when he lowered his head slightly, he found that he was naked except for a cloth covering his lower body!
His face turned red, Chen Yansleeve thought he was hot like this, and looked at Wei Ruyi, but Wei Ruyi immediately came over, and hurriedly signaled Chen Yansleeve to pull down the curtain.
Chen Yansleeve has been accustomed to the field outside the Saiwai Territory, and he is also used to seeing the man's body, so he reacted with a thick line and immediately ripped off the curtain.
Wei Ruyi coughed twice in embarrassment, and then reached out to probe Jiang Yan's pulse again, and found that the poison had all been forced out, so he said: "Since the poison has been almost discharged, wait a little longer, and it will not be too late for the imperial doctor to come and deal with it." ”
"Then let's go out first." After Lou Yan finished speaking, he immediately took Wei Ruyi's hand and took her away.
When the couple left, Chen Yansleeve smiled lightly, turned around and asked Jiang Yan, "Your Highness, do you still want to drink water?" ”
Jiang Yan saw that she still dared to laugh at herself, and laughed angrily: "That's it, anyway, you've seen it anyway, this king doesn't mind if you take a second look." ”
Chen Yansleeve smiled lightly, and then brought water and slowly fed it to him.
When all the front was cleaned up, Jiang Di, who had disappeared without a trace, was also injured and sent back, and the people who sent him back said that he was stabbed by the vicious bandits in order to save a few people.
Such a result was expected by Wei Ruyi, so she needed Mother Xie to make arrangements in advance.
Early the next morning, when this matter spread, Jiang Yan's reputation and Jiang Di's reputation spread, but Jiang Yan's holy decree was not as good as Jiang Di.
But just when Jiang Di thought that the news was good, the people he had saved before were immediately exploded, they were not helpless people at all, but ruffians who were extremely vicious in this area.
When the news reached King Xiao's Mansion, Jiang Di didn't even care about recuperating from his injuries.
"How is it possible, when this king saw them, they clearly went up the mountain with the people to watch the sacrificial ceremony, where would the ruffians do such a thing?"
"But the subordinates went to check, and those people said that someone hired them to go up the mountain, and there are many people like them, but there are not many real people, and the people who hired them also said that if something happens, they must follow you, and you will definitely save them." The man below replied.
Jiang Di listened, why didn't he know that someone was calculating him at all?
He thought that the anomaly he had been preparing for so long had turned into a joke again, and he was so angry that he kicked away the person who wanted to look after his wounds, turned around and entered through the secret room in the study.
When he arrived, his face was dark: "Why have my plans been calculated every time, is it really as Lou Ruo said, Wei Ruyi is the reborn demon, who can know what happened in his previous life!" ”
"Didn't you already know that?"
"The king just can't really believe it. "He didn't believe that there was really such a strange thing in this world, but there were some plans he remembered that Lou Ruo also said that it didn't happen in his previous life, so it wasn't Wei Ruyi's calculations, but Lou Yan's calculations were clear!"
"This king can't stand it, if it goes on like this, the throne is no longer with me, how can I kill Wei Ruyi, how can I kill Lou Yan!" Jiang Di yelled at her, if she couldn't kill them again, she would be the one who died.
Fu Mei turned her head to look at his irritable appearance, although she wanted to sarcastically mock him for being small, but think about it, it's okay, his character can't be changed, he was really lucky in his previous life, so many people trusted him!
"How long is it until the end of the year?" Flicker asked him.
Jiang Di frowned, although he didn't know how she asked this, he still replied: "There are less than ten days." ”
"Then let's wait until after the New Year's Pass, I'm going to go to Daqi in the next few days, you stay in King Xiao's Mansion in peace, and when I come back, I will get rid of Lou Yan and Wei Ruyi for you." After saying that, Jiang Di's sword was already on her neck: "Do you want to play this king?" ”
Fu Mei was cold, raised his hand and removed his sword: "The only person you can use now is me, I'm dead, you are the fish on the board, why bother to cut off your own back road?" With that, she walked away.
Jiang Di watched her leave lightly like this, thinking of the recent failures of his plans one after another, he was furious, and raised the sword in his hand to smash the things in this secret room!
"Lou Yan, I want you to live better than die!"
When Fumei left, she heard his yell, and her expression was extremely cold.
There are still a few days to come to the end of the year, another year is about to pass, and finally, this year is no longer as cold as before.
Although the matter of the sacrificial ceremony was not satisfactory, the follow-up was successfully resolved, and the emperor was more and more optimistic about Jiang Yan, after they came back from Ciyun Temple, they did not blame, but rewarded a lot of things, and the marriage of Hu Qingwei and Jiang Zhan was also close.
Wei Ruyi and Chen Yansleeve were both sitting in Hu Qingwei's boudoir, listening to her nagging about what to worry about and what to prepare, the two laughed, but both of them were experienced people, and Hu Qingwei was not too nervous with them.
It's just that compared with the joy and blessings of Hu Qingwei's wedding, Zhuohua, who was married on the same day, was a lot colder.
She was married from a small courtyard outside the palace, a cold sedan chair, four sedan chair men, and she didn't even have joy, let alone the groom's official to pick it up in person.
Jiang Di didn't dare to send his relatives generously, so he could only listen to the return of his subordinates, locked himself in the study, and did not move for a long time.
Zhuohua wore the wedding dress of her dreams, but she never thought that she would end up like this.
"Princess...... Miss, the prince asked the slave to tell you, even if you marry into Yunfu, don't worry, there is still him. "There was a voice from outside.
Zhuohua was somewhat comforted when he heard it.
However, not long after her sedan chair left, she heard the lively sound of firecrackers and endless congratulations not far away.
"What's going on out there?" Zhuohua couldn't help but ask Yahuan.
Yahuan glanced at the lively door of Hufu, Hu Qingwei was carried out by a distant cousin, Jiang Zhan of Yushu Linfeng was waiting at the door of Hufu with a big red wedding robe leading a horse, the lively suona, the people who watched and congratulated, ten miles of red makeup, these should be the things that a woman should have when she gets married.
Yahuan couldn't bear to tell Zhuohua, and only smiled: "It's nothing." ”
"Really?"
Zhuohua smiled bitterly, and heard a carriage passing by beside him, and then someone shouted: "The National Teacher is here with a congratulatory gift!" ”
"The national teacher has arrived!"
"Yes, the Hu family really has a face, and they can invite a national teacher!"
A group of people began to discuss, Zhuo Hua's eyes were slightly astringent, and he couldn't help but lift the curtain slightly to look out, Lou Yan seemed to have just gotten out of the carriage. His clothes today are still very plain, a white wide-sleeved robe, a light gray cloak, the green silk is all pulled up with a jade crown, and the phoenix eyes are still faint, but when it falls on the delicate little girl at the door, the cold gaze softens.
Zhuohua pinched his hand to prevent tears from falling.
How many times did she look forward to such a scene in her dreams, she was wearing a red wedding dress, and Lou Yan also looked at her with gentle eyes and welcomed her into the door.
"Okay, let's go." There was a sound of urging outside, and Zhuohua's sedan chair was lifted again.
The small sedan chair was swaying, and Hu Qingwei was just helped by Jiang Zhan to sit in the gorgeous eight-lift sedan chair with a smile at this time.
The joy played, Zhuohua finally looked at Lou Yan reluctantly, and finally put down the curtain and closed his eyes deeply.
The small sedan chair swayed, she thought that after arriving at the Yun family, she would have the support of the imperial brother, and the life should not be too sad, and as long as she survived until the imperial brother sat in that position in the future, she could kick the Yun family away, and still be her princess on top, and Lou Yan ...... Brother Yan has been staying for a lifetime, as for Wei Ruyi, he must die!
But before she could finish thinking about it, the sedan chair that had only been gone for half a moment suddenly shook violently, and then the sedan chair fell to the ground hard, and she rolled out directly in embarrassment.
She was hit on the forehead and almost fainted in pain, and just as she wanted to see what was going on, the hijab was suddenly ripped off, and an unceremonious curse followed.
"Do you still have the face to marry? You killed my Zheng'er, killed so many concubines, Zhuohua, you are such a vicious person, you should go to hell now! After Princess Runan finished speaking, she grabbed her and pushed her into the black coffin of Qi Zheng on the side.
When Zhuo Hua saw Qi Zheng's abnormally white dead face, he was really frightened, and he couldn't stop stepping back: "No, I don't want to ......"
"Is it up to you to choose?" Princess Runan slapped her in the face, and saw that the left side of her face was swollen, so she continued to pull her into the coffin.
Zhuohua felt frightened for the first time, and she grabbed Princess Runan's hand: "I want to marry the Yun family, even if I am not a princess, I am still the young lady of the Yun family, you can't treat me like this......"
"Then wait until you go to accompany my Zheng'er first, and then talk about the Yun family!" Princess Runan saw that she was still struggling, kicked her in the leg, and pinched her flesh and dragged her inside.
Zhuohua felt trembling all over, she was afraid, she didn't want to really die yet, she still had a lot of things to do, she still had to kill Wei Ruyi and Brother Yan for life......
Just as she was struggling desperately, the fierce-looking Princess Runan suddenly snorted, and then Zhuohua pushed her away.
Zhuo Hua took a few steps back, hid beside the fallen sedan chair and begged for mercy from the person next to him: "I don't want to die yet, save me......"
The onlookers had already heard of her notoriety, but now they looked at her without the slightest pity, and her hair was messy, her face was swollen, and her face was full of horror like a madman.
Just when she was still afraid of Princess Runan, an exclamation came: "Princess, princess, what's wrong with you, wake up, don't scare the slave!" ”
After a few calls in succession, Zhuo Hua looked at the blood hole that was broken in Princess Runan's heart, and was stunned: "I didn't kill the ...... people."
"But it's clear that you're the only one with the princess." Princess Runan's maid immediately accused, but Princess Runan didn't breathe yet, she just saw the person who shot this hidden weapon at her, in the inn not far away, on the second floor, her phoenix.
But why......
She snorted and wanted to look up at the inn, only to see Qi Huang's painful face: "Huang'er......"
She wanted to say more, but the strength in her body seemed to have been taken away, and she finally fell to the ground weakly.
Zhuohua saw that Princess Runan had already swallowed her breath, and there was a mess around her, so she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she turned around and ran to Yunfu in embarrassment with her skirt.
And in the inn, Qi Huang curled up on the ground in pain while covering his heart: "Mother...... Why, why kill her......"
"Because of you, of course! It was you who killed the mother with your own hands, it was you who killed the only person in the world who was good to you, you really deserve to die, you see that the mother was good to you before, and now she is dying so painfully, you should also die, go with her, don't let her feel lonely in hell! ”
The red-eyed Qi Huang persuaded one by one, he seemed to be able to see another cowardly, timid and useless Qi Huang, showing his bloodthirsty fangs, until the cowardly Qi Huang finally completely disappeared in his consciousness, he stood up again, looking at the princess of Runan who was carried away, the corners of his mouth were evil, he couldn't imagine killing him so easily.
Princess Runan was assassinated, Zhuohua was almost buried alive, and these news were only quietly transmitted to Wei Ruyi's ears by Zhiyu.
Wei Ruyi glanced at the lively Chen Mansion and instructed her: "Don't spread the news to the Hu family for the time being, let's talk about it after today." "Today is a day of great joy, so naturally do not add to the bad luck caused by these things.
Zhiyu nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Ying came from outside and said, "Miss, the second son is outside, saying that he wants to see you." ”
"Second brother?" Wei Ruyi remembered that he hadn't seen him since the last funeral, and when he saw that Lou Yan was still talking to someone outside, he nodded and went out with Mu Ying.
Out of the main gate, Wei Qizhang was leading the horse to wait for her at the door, and when he saw her coming, he smiled lightly: "I recently went outside the city, I haven't been here for a long time, I heard that you are pregnant, and I just returned to the city today, so I came to see it." After saying that, he took two paper bags from his horse and gave them to her: "A small gift from outside the city, for you." ”
Wei Ruyi took it and smelled it, both happy and a little moved: "This is hazelnut cake, the second brother shouldn't have brought it from Quzhou." ”
"Didn't you say that the hazelnut cake is still the best in Quzhou, don't worry, I bought it last night, and I rode back overnight, it shouldn't be bad." Wei Qizhang looked at her happy appearance and became happy.
Wei Ru thought that he even remembered what she said casually, and he didn't know what to say.
Wei Qizhang's hand moved, wanting to raise it and rub her forehead as before, but looking at Mu Ying and Zhiyu, who were staring straight at him, he said, "Okay, you just got pregnant, you need to rest more, go inside, it's cold outside." ”
"Hmm."
"By the way, on the day of the New Year, Qingshui and Xiaobao both came to Wei Mansion, and the eldest aunt and eldest uncle also came, are you back?" Wei Qizhang asked her.
Wei Ruyi hesitated for a moment, at the end of the year, she was going to spend it with Brother Yan and them in the National Teacher's Mansion.
Seeing this, Wei Qizhang smiled clearly: "It's okay to come back when you're free, my aunt said I wanted to see you." He hid the bitterness in his heart, his most painful sister is really someone else's forever, and he can't even be with him anymore.
He rolled over his horse and smiled at her before he grabbed the reins and turned away.
Wei Ruyi looked at the hazelnut cake in his hand, listening to the cold wind howling, and his heart was mixed.
Zhiyu said softly: "Miss, it's cold outside, go inside." ”
"Hmm." After Wei Ruyi finished speaking, he paused and said, "The second brother came to look for me today, don't tell Brother Yan for the time being, I'll tell him in person later." ”
"The slave understands."
"Ah Zhong, do you understand?" Wei Ruyi raised his voice and said, Ah Zhong in the dark had a stalk in his throat, and he hurriedly said 'um'.
Wei Ruyi's heart was heavy, the second brother suddenly went to Quzhou, what to do in Quzhou? There is only one Lao An Wang in Quzhou, and he is also the only brother of the emperor who is still alive, did the second brother go to see him? See what he does?
Her heart was very dull, she lowered her head and walked all the way in, and as she walked, a familiar faint fragrance came.
Wei Ruyi looked up in amazement and saw Lou Yan who seemed to be waiting for her.
"Brother Yan......"
"Tired?" Lou Yan asked her.
Wei Ruyi shook his head, walked forward obediently, and put his head on his chest: "I'm just worried." ”
"Worried about Wei Qizhang's rebellion?" Lou Yan asked him again.
Wei Ruyi didn't say anything, in her previous life, the second brother treated her kindly, and the third sister treated her kindly, and in this life, they have nothing to be sorry for, she doesn't want that one day, they will become enemies standing on opposite sides.
Lou Yan stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry." "Even if Wei Qizhang really stood on Jiang Di's side, he wouldn't take his life easily, as long as Ruyi recognized this second brother, he wouldn't do it easily.
The Hu family's banquet was over, and Wei Ruyi had already slept.
Back at the National Teacher's Mansion, Lou Yan returned to the room with her sleepy, covered the quilt for her again, and walked out of the room, Ah Zhong was already waiting: "Princess Runan was killed today, and the people in Runan Wangfu thought it was Zhuohua's hand, and now it has gone to Yunfu, but with King Xiao's protection, Yunfu has not handed over anyone for the time being." ”
"Can you find out who caused the killer?" Lou Yan asked Ah Zhong, and Ah Zhong frowned: "It was a dark arrow that someone put it, and my subordinates went down to check the inn where the dark arrow was placed, and only found that the person who was in that position during that time was Qi Huang." ”
"Qi Huang ......" Lou Yan had never taken him to heart, but he also knew that there were two souls in his body, but now the king of Runan was no longer a threat at all, and he also knew: "Let people stare at it, don't interfere." ”
"But King Xiao seems to think that this matter is the hand of our National Teacher's Mansion, what can we do?" Ah Zhong is a little worried, Jiang Di is now forced to this part, and they all say that things must be reversed, and Jiang Di will definitely do something reckless because of anger.
Lou Yan is also worried about this, but now Jiang Di is no longer in his calculations, the New Year is approaching, and there is one thing, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to have a good year this year.
After thinking about it, someone suddenly came from outside: "Your Excellency, the fourteenth prince of Daqi asks to see you." ”
"Zhao Ji."
Lou Yan mentioned him, not only wanted to avoid it, but also worried that Zhao Ji would guess something, Zhao Ji was very smart, he seemed to be cynical, but he was meticulous in observing people, he didn't see him, he was afraid that he felt that he had a ghost in his heart. When I saw him, I was worried that he would find clues from his words and deeds.
"He's going to give me a problem." Lou Yan's face sank slightly, and then he said, "Let him come in and see me." ”
"Yes!" The people below were busy and immediately went to invite Zhao Ji in.
When Zhao Ji saw Lou Yan's extremely cold face, he smiled very happily, and stepped forward and said, "Master Guoshi, let me tell you a big secret, do you want to hear it." ”
Lou Yan ignored him and walked straight to the study.
Zhao Ji was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "I recently heard from the prince of your Northern Yan that I suspect that you are not a child of the Lou family at all, your surname is Qin, and you are the heir of the Qin family who was destroyed by the Emperor of Northern Yan back then, right?" ”
Lou Yan's expression was still faint, Zhao Ji looked at his unfazed appearance, and continued: "Xiao Yan liked Qionghua brewing the most back then, and I buried two jars under the big tree in the main courtyard of Qin Mansion with him at the beginning, and now I have dug them out, and the national teacher will accompany me to have a drink?" ”
Lou Yan's footsteps paused slightly, and Mu Yun hurriedly said: "Fourteenth prince, my family is weak and can't drink. ”
"Xiao Yan, are you really not going to drink with me?" Zhao Ji looked straight at Lou Yan, Lou Yan's eyes became colder and colder, and he only said, "I don't drink." ”
"Why is the national teacher so rude, and he doesn't look into my eyes when he speaks, why, don't you dare to look, for fear that I will find something?" Zhao Ji saw that he was still denying it, and his fists clenched tightly.
Lingxi had obviously told him everything, and he had already come to him, why did he hide it, did he just want to see him?
Lou Yan turned around and looked at him lightly: "If the fourteenth prince is only here to say something unrelated, then he can go back." With that, he turned and walked away.
Zhao Ji was angry: "Qin Liyan, you coward, what are you afraid of, what are you hiding!" ”
Lou Yan's footsteps did not stop, but the qi and blood in his body were surging, and the poison was faintly about to be released.
His steps were faster, Zhao Ji only thought he was running away, and sneered: "Okay, you run." Now I will go to your emperor of Beiyan and ask him to retry the tragedy of the Qin family's annihilation! Qin Liyan, you are afraid, Lao Tzu is not afraid, Lao Tzu will avenge your Qin family! After that, Zhao Ji turned his head and walked out of the house, Lou Yan was so angry that he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, turned his head and shouted at Zhao Ji's back: "Zhao Ji, you stop for me!" ”
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward, but suddenly there was a soft cry from the people behind him, and he turned his head to see that Lou Yan had fallen down with a white face.
