It was night, the moon was rising, and in the East Palace, Xiao Chengyue took the thirteenth note from the secret guard, only glanced at it casually, and threw it on the candle flame on the table.
Kong Lingfeng stood aside, looking at Xiao Chengyue's flickering face, and said tentatively, "Master, you ordered your subordinates to keep an eye on King Ning every day, and today, King Ning has a new move." β
Xiao Chengyue, dressed in black, stood in front of the bookcase with his hands in his hands, watching the notes on the candle flame being devoured little by little, and finally turning into a smear of ashes.
He said in a deep voice, "Say." β
"King Ning went to Baihualou today, but he didn't see anyone, he only drank a pot of sake in the hall, and hurried away, and then went to ......"
Kong Lingfeng paused and continued, "After that, King Ning took a detour to East Street and went to Luofu alone, leaving to come back after dinner. β
Xiao Chengyue didn't mention Lin Qi or Luo Baisu in the past few days, and he was not even allowed to hear the slightest sentence about her, but Kong Lingfeng knew that the more light Xiao Chengyue was on the surface, the more turbulent his heart became.
On the surface, he seems to be unconcerned, but in fact, his heart is very worried.
"Today in Baihualou, he really hasn't seen anyone? What about the second child who delivered wine? β
Xiao Chengyue directly skipped everything about Lin Qi and focused on King Ning.
The second child who delivers wine?
Kong Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at him, "My subordinates will send someone to investigate." β
"No need, people, I'm afraid I'll be dead a long time ago."
Before Kong Lingfeng could react, Xiao Chengyue flicked his long sleeves, took a few steps, sat down in front of the bookcase, and continued to deal with official business.
"The person you were looking for, how did you find it?"
"Back to the master, the person found it, but the man was very angry, saying that he hadn't touched this business for more than ten years and refused to come."
"Revenge to be said?"
"I said it, but the man said that when he was brave, his daughter was long gone, even if he took revenge, his daughter would not survive, so why bother to invite this murder again."
"Go and beg, no matter what, I will definitely bring someone to Baihualou within three days."
Kong Lingfeng nodded yes.
As early as ten days ago, Xiao Chengyue ordered Kong Lingfeng to go and find a Danjiao named Liu Meng, who sang anti-drama in the palace back then.
It is said that Liu Meng was a protΓ©gΓ© of the Wei Mansion more than ten years ago, because Wei Guifei loved to listen to operas, so after entering the palace, he was brought into the palace as usual, and he was very loving.
Liu Meng has only one daughter, Liu Ziluo, when she entered the palace, she was only five years old, and she followed her father to learn drama all the year round, and over time, she often entered and exited the palace of Wei Guifei.
However, unfortunately, Liu Ziluo was only twelve years old and died early, and back then, Wei Guifei covered up the incident with her own strength, claiming that she accidentally fell off the stage and died.
The truth of why a commoner's daughter set off a big storm is even less known.
But Xiao Chengyue's sources are far and wide, and it is easy to find this bit of gossip, it is known that Liu Ziluo did not die by accident that year, but died at the hands of the young Xiao Qingyi.
This also happened to give Xiao Chengyue a good opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop.
Since he wants to get married, he will give a big gift.
He wants to see how he can do it in the face of the crowd!
Kong Lingfeng didn't understand the reason, let alone what Xiao Chengyue was thinking.
Seeing that the early spring of March is solstice, and the wedding date of Lin Qi and King Ning is approaching, Xiao Chengyue is looking for a drama everywhere, and he is not worried about it at all, and even Kong Lingfeng can't help but wonder if Xiao Chengyue really has Lin Qi in his heart.
"Master, there are only ten days left, do you really watch Miss Lin marry Prince Ning? If you regret it in the future, it's too late. β
Kong Lingfeng couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to persuade.
However, Xiao Chengyue was still unmoved, picked up a pen, and quietly painted on rice paper, a landscape map splashed with ink, which took shape in an instant.
"Do your own part, other people's business, and don't interfere."
"However, Miss Lin is none other than her. She lied to you, but her subordinates believe that Miss Lin must have a last resort, Miss Lin's intentions for the master, the subordinates see it in their eyes, and similarly, the subordinates can also see that the master still cares, since she has her in her heart, why do you want to watch her marry someone else? β
Kong Lingfeng finished speaking in one breath, he was determined today, even if he risked angering Xiao Chengyue and being punished by the military order, he would say what was in his heart!
Why do two people who love each other so much torture each other and can't be together directly?
Xiao Chengyue did not respond, still bowed his head to paint, and his face was peaceful.
"Master!" Kong Lingfeng reluctantly called again, and seeing that he still didn't react, he finally clasped his fists and saluted in disappointment, "It belongs to retirement." β
However, behind him, Xiao Chengyue looked at the door where Kong Lingfeng left, and the ink night outside the courtyard was dark, and he suddenly stopped writing.
Do you still care?
Xiao Chengyue was stunned for a moment, his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and then, a few strokes were hastily waved on the rice paper.
When I looked at it, it was exactly the same as the ones that Lin Qi made at the celebration banquet that day.
Xiao Chengyue suddenly put down his pen, and a few flashes quickly disappeared into the dark night.
East Street Luofu.
It was already the third watch, and in the sky, the last moment it was clear that the full moon was hanging high, and the next moment the dark clouds were stacked, and suddenly it rained heavily.
Due to illness, Lin Qi drank the medicine early and fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of the rain hitting the window eaves.
"Ugly ugly ......" she called while lying on the bed, but no one answered outside the door.
"Ahem...... Ugly, ugly? "There's still no one.
Lin Qi coughed a few times in a row, opened his eyes, and the candle flame in the room had been blown out by the cold wind, and it was pitch black all around.
But at that time, the thunder flashed, and the sound of a torrential rain hitting the stone platform sounded in the courtyard.
Only then did Lin Qi see clearly that the door of the house in the courtyard was not closed, and the ugly ugly was nowhere to be found at this time.
Xiao Chengyue stood in the dark, watching her lift the brocade quilt, trembling and getting up, her eyebrows jumping.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the person behind him had just stretched out his feet, and before he could land, he tripped over the edge of the bed.
Immediately, the whole person couldn't hold it anymore, and flashed over to catch her.
The expected pain did not come, but was replaced by a warm embrace, soft and slightly familiar with a scent.
"I've only been around for a few days, why are you making such a mess of yourself."
In the darkness, Xiao Chengyue clasped her palm, imprisoned her firmly in his arms, and then picked her up steadily and walked to the bed.
"Xiao Chengyue?"
In the darkness, Lin Qi suddenly woke up, reached out a little panicked, and touched his sleeve upward, "Is that you?" β
"Well, it's me." The voice was a little hoarse.
Xiao Chengyue held her cold hand at the right time, warmed her with his palm, and slowly stroked her cheeks, her breath was slightly chaotic.
"Su ......" Xiao Chengyue was just about to call out, but suddenly paused, and the steps under his feet also paused slightly, in the dark night, his dark and deep eyes stared at the woman in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "No, Ah Qi." β
His voice was barely audible.
Lin Qifang's hope to be ignited was depressed with his short words.
"You're finally willing to trust me." There was a hint of sneer at the corner of Lin Qi's mouth, these days, she often saw Xiao Chengyue in her sleep, but every time, it was Xiao Chengyue who held the Qingpin sword in his hand and pointed it directly at her.
He said that he would make her pay for Luo Baisu's life.
He said that if it weren't for her invasion, Luo Baisu wouldn't have died at all.
He said that from beginning to end, he only had Luo Baisu in his heart, and he had never heard the name Lin Qi, let alone liked it.
And now, Xiao Chengyue is in front of her, her voice is exactly the same as when she was in her dream, without any warmth.
Lin Qi couldn't help but think that this time, it was another dream.
"As long as you say it, I will believe it." Like Lin Qi, Xiao Chengyue has been dreaming all night these days.
However, the person who appeared in the dream was not Luo Baisu, but the woman in front of her, and what they had experienced along the way.
Xiao Chengyue once thought that the person in his heart was Luo Baisu.
However, just a moment ago, Xiao Chengyue finally figured it out, Luo Baisu, but a beautiful dream in the shadow of childhood, appeared in the shadow, lost in the shadow, she appeared when he needed it most, but never entered his life.
And Lin Qi is the one who has really walked into his life and touched him.
These days, he has been repeatedly entangled for a long time, looking forward to the creed that records her life day and night.
If you learn that her condition is worsening, you will feel a pang of colic, and if you learn that King Ning is going, you will rise up with a burst of anger, but when you see that the creed says that King Ning is going, and the third lady is closed, there will be a burst of joy.
And so cycled, capricious.
Dreams can deceive people, but hearts and feelings don't.
Xiao Chengyue carried her to the bed, then lay down with his clothes, and held her tightly in his arms, for fear that in the blink of an eye, she would disappear again.
"Xiao Chengyue." Lin Qi snorted in his sleep, and then cried, "I didn't kill her, I didn't hurt her, you believe me." β
The person in front of him shrank in his arms, as if he had dreamed of something terrible, and his body trembled slightly.
"I believe in you, don't be afraid, I'm here."
He gently patted Lin Ji's back, feeling that the person in his arms gradually calmed down, found a comfortable position in his arms, and soon, fell into a deep sleep again.
When Lin Ji woke up, it was dark outside the house, the door was closed, and the room was empty.
The ugly ugly came with a bowl of lotus seed soup and pushed the door, and when he saw that she was awake, he hurriedly went over to help her up, "Miss, do you feel better today?" β
Lin Qi looked around, "What about others?" β
She obviously felt that Xiao Chengyue had come last night, but when she woke up, she didn't see anyone.
"He? Who is the lady talking about? Ugly raised his head suspiciously, and reached out to put his hand on her forehead, "Isn't Miss's condition getting worse again?" β
Lin Qi paused, pulled her hand off her forehead, frowned and asked, "Last night, didn't anyone come?" β
"The slave and maid stayed outside the house last night, and no one came." The ugly got up and was afraid to wipe her hands with wet wipes, "Isn't Miss Miss missing someone too much and having an illusion?" β
Lin Qizhi glanced at the room in a daze, and then immediately turned over and got out of bed, pushed open the door, and the courtyard was clean, as if it had experienced a storm.
Could it be that it is really an illusion of oneself?
Last night...... The familiar temperature and taste are so real.
"Really, no one has ever been here?" She asked again.
"Miss, no one really came last night." The ugly tried his best to hide the smile in his heart, and answered seriously according to Xiao Chengyue's instructions.
But at that time, a figure suddenly flew down from the beam of the house, Hua Seventeen held a jade fan in his hand, and the corner of his orange eyes was wicked, and a pure voice like a pearl came out, "Girl, but are you waiting for this son?" β
