Chapter 132: The Old Man of the Night Meeting
After discussing the details with Na Zhuo Lao's subordinates, it was already past noon, Ye Ziyi turned out of the back hall, and was about to step out, but she heard someone suddenly call her behind her.
"Ji and walk slowly. ”
Ye Ziyi turned around, and saw Gu Cheng in plain clothes standing behind her, she hadn't seen her for nearly a month, Gu Cheng was obviously a lot haggard, she stepped forward and bent slightly to Ye Ziyi, but she was much more polite than before.
"Jiaojiao is looking for me, what's the matter?" Ye Ziyi returned the salute, calmly looking at Gu Cheng, who was obviously a little cramped opposite, and suddenly felt a little pitiful for her.
In the past, when he was in Fengcheng, Gu Cheng and Jing Ying designed together, wanting to get close to Gongzi Cheng, but now he climbed up to Xiang Fu, but he failed to do so, this daughter of Qian Zong is really persistent, is there no one in this world except Gongzi Cheng, she has no one to marry? Besides, with Xiang Fu entering the mansion, she is just a concubine Teng, is it so good? Compared with ordinary couples raising their eyebrows, will there really be happiness in this way? She really doesn't understand.
Gu Cheng lowered his head and bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind with great determination, and only after a while did he raise his head again and look at Ye Ziyi with a hint of expectation. "Ji ...... Can you take a step forward and speak?"
"Alas. Ye Ziyi sighed and said lightly. "Since Jiaojiao has something to say, come with me to the private room to talk. ”
Gu Cheng obviously didn't expect Ye Ziyi to agree so happily, she was stunned, nodded subconsciously, and followed Ye Ziyi to the elegant room on the second floor of Buzhuang.
As soon as he entered the elegant room, Ye Ziyi did not give Gu Cheng manners, and sat on the main seat first, Gu Cheng was not angry, followed Ye Ziyi to the side of the couch, bowed his head and knelt down.
"There are no outsiders here, what is the matter with Jiaojiao, just say it. Ye Ziyi was straight to the point, and she didn't be polite with her, but Gu Cheng didn't know how to speak for a while.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Cheng slowly raised her head, and she looked at Ye Ziyi with complicated eyes. "What Ji said in the post house that day, is it all sincere?"
"Yes. ”
Ye Ziyi didn't deny it, she knew that Gu Cheng was asking about the words she wanted to monopolize Gongzicheng, this was what she was thinking, there was no need to lie, besides, for Gu Cheng, this should not be what she should worry about, at this time, what Gu Cheng should worry about the most should be her future fate, right?
"Afu, she ......" Gu Cheng paused, as if he had accumulated enough courage before he spoke. "After Afu fell back into the water last time, in order to prove her innocence, she cut her wrist vein and almost died...... Later, she was grounded by Hou Ye again, and I heard that she had to be married to an old ugly person, Ye Ji, did she end up like this today, was it Ji Ji?"
"Huh. Ye Ziyi looked at her lightly, her eyes were a little cold and a little disdainful. "Jiaojiao came here today to seek justice for the Xiang family?
"I, I really can't figure out why Afu is what she is today, these days, she only has a disagreement with Ji, she is such a good person, others will not ......"
"Gu Jiaojiao!" Ye Ziyi interrupted Gu Cheng's words sharply and said with a calm face. "Do you know what you're talking about! Do you think I, a commoner, have the ability to influence the fate of a woman from a family? How can you speak so casually! I can't afford such a big trumped-up crime! If Jiaojiao talks like this again, please go back! Concubines and Jiaojiao, there is nothing to say!"
I have to say that Gu Cheng still has some brains, and he can see that someone did it on purpose in this matter, and he is indeed not too stupid, but when he came to ask her in such a stunned manner, it was really funny, no matter whether he had done it or not, who would admit such a thing? It's just a joke!
"No, no, no, sister, stop being angry!" Gu Cheng hurriedly waved her hand, and even changed her title, she argued anxiously. Ah Cheng didn't mean to blame, just guessed. ”
"Gu Jiaojiao, you and I have no grudges, you can eat things indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense. Ye Ziyi raised her chin slightly, very unhappy. "Jiaojiao has finished what she said, so the concubine will not be accompanied!"
"This, this, sister, don't annoy me, I'm a person, I really can't speak, I annoy my sister, I really shouldn't be, please let my sister say a few more words, I really have no intention of embarrassing my sister!" Gu Cheng said this truthfully, and Ye Ziyi didn't want to refute her face too much, so she just sat upright and motioned for her to continue.
Gu Cheng wrung his sleeves, bit his lip, and said in a low voice. "Sister, I came to Yecheng, I wanted to scatter my heart, and then Afu befriended me and took care of me everywhere, I really felt that she was good, and then I heard that the queen gave marriage, Afu was very happy to ask me to be her concubine, I was really happy to hear her say this. Actually, I've been in love with Childe for a long time, but Childe is a person like heaven and man, and he has never looked at me, so I'm very happy to have the opportunity to accompany Childe. ”
"Why are you talking to me about this?" Ye Ziyi really didn't understand this Gu Cheng, could it be that she didn't give up and wanted to be Gongzicheng's concubine? Could it be that without Xiang Fu, this woman still wanted to beg herself to let her enter the mansion?
"I, I'm the only one who can talk here, and I don't know anyone else, I only know my sister, so I ......" Gu Cheng said, slowly shrinking into a ball, looking really pitiful.
Ye Ziyi looked at her, and suddenly felt a little funny, in the past, she was regarded as a shoe, but today she is helpless but comes to her to show her goodwill, this Gu Cheng is really a strange thing, could it be that if she asks for it like this, does she think that others should help her? If it is really a little white lotus, she may still be able to lend a helping hand to her, but it is a pity that she Ye Ziyi is really not so kind.
"Since Jiaojiao has found me, I will advise Jiaojiao a few words. Ye Ziyi slowly stood up, with one hand behind his back and the other in front of his abdomen, and said lightly. "How much can people do, they can do as much as they can, although Jiaojiao is a rich and noble person, but in this capital is nothing, neither is it a person here, or where to go back and forth. Farewell!"
After that, Ye Ziyi flicked her sleeves and went downstairs without looking back, leaving only Gu Cheng, whose face was as white as paper, staring blankly at the staircase and not moving for a long time.
After shopping in the market for a long time, when Ye Ziyi returned to Gongzi's Mansion, it was already sunset and the sun was shining.
As soon as he entered the mansion gate, the little man who guarded the door came over and said hurriedly. "Madam, you're back, Childe has been waiting for you for more than an hour, and I've urged you a few times, go and have a look!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Ziyi threw the clay puppet she was playing with to the little guy and walked inside quickly.
The little guy followed Ye Ziyi, trotting while holding the puppet, panting and saying. "No, nothing. ”
"What's wrong?" stopped suddenly, looking at the little guy who nodded vigorously beside him, Ye Ziyi suddenly had the urge to beat people. "I said, 'You kid...... Never mind. ”
Ye Ziyi really didn't bother to explain to this little guy, it was rare that her husband came back early, and her time was wasted on this child, it was really boring, so she simply waved her hand and let the little guy retreat.
"Madam, this ......" The little guy lifted the clay puppet in his hand with a careful face.
Ye Ziyi glanced at him, and didn't look back. "Let's have fun. ”
Walking quickly to the outside of the hall of the main room, Ye Ziyi slowed down and entered the front hall lightly, but Gongzi Cheng was not found in the hall, so she turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
Pulling out the layers of curtains, and seeing the familiar figure lying on several cases, the corners of Ye Ziyi's lips were slightly curved, and she tiptoed to him, squatting beside him and looking at his face carefully, her eyes were full of tenderness.
I haven't seen him for three days, and I didn't feel anything when I didn't see him, but when I met him like this, I felt my heart was pinching and aching.
Gently brushing the hair from his cheeks, Ye Ziyi leaned on a few sides, looking at his handsome face covered with thin dust inch by inch, and the smile on the corner of his lips became stronger and stronger.
Although the Xiang clan has been hit hard, but the power is still there, the big war is imminent, he must not be easy, in the court, in the barracks, everywhere has to be thoughtful, is it worth it to be so exhausted? The next big war is about the dispute between countries, how can he come back unscathed? How long will she wait for him?
Suddenly a little blurry in front of her eyes, Ye Ziyi blinked, and two crystalline tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes, dripping on several brown-red surfaces, glowing with a faint shimmer.
Snorting gently, raising her sleeve to wipe the tears on her face, Ye Ziyi stood up carefully, took off a cloak from the embroidery screen on the side, covered Gongzicheng with a very light movement, and tiptoed out of the house.
The sky outside had already darkened, and when I looked up from the doorway, the purple clouds were gradually darkening in the western sky, and the breeze was like silk, with the smell of fireworks, everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful.
Ye Ziyi leaned against the door frame of the hall, looking at the rapidly fading glow in the sky, and the worry in her heart became more and more intense.
Today, I heard the news of Xuan from Tingfeng Pavilion, after he returned to Chen, he was already protected by the two county kings, and began to denounce Gongzi Shang's crimes, if it continues to develop like this, it is not impossible to pacify Chen's civil strife in less than half a year, things have developed as she expected, however......
Sighing softly, Ye Ziyi looked at the darkening sky and closed her eyes tightly.
However, she still can't think of a way to help Gongzicheng win, Qi State attacked Wei, there are many dangers, King Qi's ambition is like a bottomless abyss, he didn't put his son's life in his eyes at all, and he won't care, if Chen Guo has changed, what will happen to Gongzi Cheng.
Da Liang had long planned to take advantage of the chaos to attack Chen, and now that Chen was going to settle down, they didn't have time to raise troops.
Qi wants to swallow Wei, where is it so simple?
Among the four countries, Wei is the weakest, and if Qi dares to send troops, Liang will inevitably get a piece of the pie, so Gongzi Cheng must send troops early, before Chen has no domestic strife and Liang makes a decision.
