Chapter 498: Qingxi's Covenant
Taking advantage of the first day of spring, Guo Wan rarely sent a post to Chen Ying, asking her to talk about it, and the location was on the clear stream outside the village.
When Chen Ying arrived, Guo Wan had already arrived, Chen Ying swept her eyes and saw that she was dressed in a cocoon pigment weft brocade shirt, a light lake-colored peach and plum spring pleated skirt, standing on the edge of the blue water, lined with the four wild wind and clouds, and the distant mountains and clouds.
"You came on time." Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Guo Wan looked back, the sun was shining all over the sky, shining directly on her red lips like dyed pills, apricot eyes like spring, the golden hairpin on the crow's sideburns was bright and swaying, and the pearls falling from the hairpin head were the size of a thumb, moist and shiny, adding a bit of charm.
"I'm late." Chen Ying took two steps forward and was about to salute, but Guo Wan had already smiled first: "Excuse me, come and talk." ”
After that, he looked at her a few more times.
Chen Ying is also wearing a newly made spring shirt today, white on the top and purple on the bottom, the purple is not dark purple, but a light and tender snow blue, the skirt is cut into eight pieces, embroidered with fine pink primrose flowers, a little delicate, a little cold, and Chen Ying's clean face, particularly compatible.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't even recognize you." Guo Wan looked at Chen Ying with a smile, and there was real admiration in her eyes: "It's rare to see you wearing such a bright color, but it really looks so good." ”
Seeing that she was smiling with her eyebrows and eyes bent, and her demeanor was a little more graceful than she had seen before, like a peony in full bloom, beautiful and dazzling, Chen Ying's slightly tight heart was also a little relaxed.
"I see that you are in good spirits, and you should be in a good mood when you think about it." She said softly, walked to Guo Wan, and stood with her on the bank of the stream, watching the fish swimming under the water.
The crimson fish, sometimes jumping out of the water, its bright back like a long and narrow fallen leaf, turning over a few times on the surface of the water, and diving into the water.
"I invited you here to ask you, are you going back to Shandong?" Guo Wan asked, taking a few grains of fish food from the small brocade bag and spilling it into the water.
Chen Ying said "um": "I want to go back to see the girls' school, and by the way, I will also marry Miss Chen from the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion." ”
"That's what I've heard." Guo Wan took out a square handkerchief, wiped off the remaining fish food from her fingertips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then sighed.
"Miss Chen's marriage is 'I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me'." She said, with a melancholy sound, the tail note fell in the east wind, and gradually became inaudible.
Chen Ying raised her head suddenly.
Guo Wan was also looking at her, and her bright and charming apricot eyes were calm.
The spring breeze was slightly cold, blowing through her skirt, a scene of blue water was slight, and when it turned to the corner of Chen Ying's skirt, it was like a morning mist and a dream.
The eyes of the two were frozen for a moment, and Chen Yingqi asked, "Is it you?" ”
Chen Lu was lured into Songhe Courtyard, Guo Yuan was poisoned, and Cai Juan cut himself...... Did you do all this?
This is the whole of Chen Ying's questioning.
She believes that Guo Wan can understand.
Guo Wan smiled.
She did understand.
Looking at the gorgeous face in front of him, Chen Ying's mood was like the wind blowing in his face.
It's cold, but it's calm.
She never shied away from the question.
This is also a question that has been in her mind for a long time.
She suspected from a long time ago that this poisoning case was written by Guo Wan from beginning to end, and there was only one reason for her suspicion:
Guo Wan is the only beneficiary.
Or rather, Guo Wan's motives are the fullest of all the suspects; And there is also a certain causal relationship between the timing of the case and the time when Guo Wan entered Beijing, so Chen Ying can't help but notice her.
This poisoning case has an extremely strong sense of revenge, and its layout is complicated, its thinking is meticulous, and its methods are vicious, which is very different from the simple and crude political assassination of King Kang's remnants.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ying has never confused the poisoning case with the assassination case, but Emperor Yuan Jia and the officials of the three legal divisions have already combined the two cases to deal with them.
Chen Ying did not say anything about this.
Guo Yuan is not innocent.
Chen Ying very much hopes that she will be punished by the law and pay the price for her previous crimes.
However, this does not mean that Chen Ying supports the use of crime to punish crimes, nor does it mean that she agrees that some people take the lives of innocent people in retaliation.
Guo Wan looked directly into Chen Ying's eyes.
No dodging, no flinching.
Such a bright and dazzling face, but the eyes are strangely calm, and even a little twilight, like a drooping old woman.
"You doubt me?" She asked, her expression unchanged.
Chen Ying's head bowed: "Yes, I doubt you." ”
After speaking, he turned his eyes away and looked down at the water.
The clear stream flows freely, and when the fish jumps, the water splashes and the blue water murmurs, and the music is like a rhyme.
Chen Ying's eyes were watering, and the eyebrows and eyes were still clean: "Although I doubt you, I have no evidence." Therefore, this suspicion can only be a suspicion and has no substantive significance. ”
"Really?" Guo Wan smiled very lightly, and also looked at the water: "Since it is useless to doubt, does that mean that you will not continue to doubt, or is this matter already in the past?" ”
"I don't know." Chen Ying squatted down, picked up a green grass by the stream, threw it into the water, and watched it flow leisurely with the water into the distance.
"I just don't want to hide it from you. Including my suspicions about you. She said, stood up, and looked at Guo Wan.
She had to admit that at that moment, the bottom of her peaceful lake-like heart seemed to throw a piece of gravel, with shallow ripples, scattering.
The courage to doubt everyone, this is Mr. Detective's belief.
However, doubting one's best friend is not a pleasant experience.
"I think one day, we're going to drift apart." Chen Ying finally sighed, turned her face away, and looked at the cheerful fish in the stream: "I feel sorry for this." However, this may well turn out to be true, and my regret does not play a role. ”
"I know." Guo Wan took over the conversation, her expression as calm as hers.
Such quietness adds a touch of solemnity and grace to her gorgeous face, reminding people of poems like "Peony True National Color".
"I'm sorry too." She said again, picking up a few grains of fish food and throwing them into the water.
In an instant, the swimming fish were coming, the red ridge was flickering, and the clear stream under the sun became bright and bright, as if it was reflected by her face.
"We're not on the same path." Guo Wan spoke for the third time, and between her lowered eyebrows, there was a hint of loneliness: "The path I chose is the best and fastest path I can take, and your path,"
She sighed again and groaned: "The road is long, I will go up and down and seek." After finishing speaking, he shook his head and chuckled, and slid out a few golden threads with his movements: "I can't walk this road, and I don't have so much time to spend on this." ”
She looked up into the distance, the idle clouds on the horizon were gone, and the blue sky was like a wash.
"I can't wait." She muttered, the twilight on her face getting deeper.
