Chapter 294: In the Night
In another village outside the city, Qingzhi looked worriedly at the leftover meals that a few little girls with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes who didn't dare to raise their heads packed up, although they knew that everyone waiting here was deaf and mute except for Huang Ming, so he cautiously waited for the little girls to leave the house before moving over and said worriedly: "Girl, you have eaten too little, this is really going to make you sick." ”
"It's okay, I know what to expect." Li Tian's voice was low and weak, Yin Hua took a cup of tea and handed it over: "Didn't the girl say that the crab leg cake sent yesterday was delicious, why don't you tell Huang Ming about it, let him go to the capital every day to buy food and send it over." When Yinhua said this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he clapped his hands lightly and shouted: "Didn't the girl say that it is good for that villain to come every night, maybe our prince will be able to find the girl after him, if he sends food here every day, maybe he can also attract our prince over!" ”
"That's a good idea! Kill two birds with one stone! Qingzhi's eyes also lit up, Li Tian held the cup in both hands, pondered it carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't rush back, it's November, and I'll talk about it then." ”
"What's wrong with November?" Yinhua looked dazed, Qingzhi also looked at Li Tian in confusion, Li Tian looked at the two of them with extraordinarily big eyes because of his thinness, and smiled and didn't answer.
"Girl, it's better to go back early, the man runs here every night and turns back...... How can this be explained? Qingzhi persuaded with worry, from being taken here from being captive, from knowing who was kidnapped, this is the biggest worry in her heart, Yinhua sighed: "What if...... It's good that the girl hasn't rounded up yet, so she can explain it clearly. Li Tian almost choked on a sip of tea, handed the cup to Yinhua, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, the expression on his face was very indifferent: "There is nothing to say about this, he believes in it naturally, if he doesn't believe it, it's useless to say anything, okay, don't worry about these useless things first, is today's charcoal ash ready?" ”
"I'll go!" Yinhua hurriedly jumped up and said, the bottle of incense powder was used up overnight, the amount of two bottles of incense powder in one night was too suspicious, and Li Tian was sick again, so Yinhua and Qingzhi came up with a way to sprinkle charcoal powder on the ground, which was better than incense powder.
It was bitterly cold in the early morning in the suburbs, and the four princes walked out of the courtyard very lightly, standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking back at the few low lanterns placed in the courtyard, and after a long while, he quickly went out and got on the horse to go back, no matter what, he had to stay away from this warm courtyard that haunted him before dawn.
In the dark, Li Tian opened his eyes and looked at the dark window, it was cloudy again, there was no moonlight and no starlight outside the window, Li Tian was cold and gathered himself together, the fire in the house was very full, warm as spring, but she still felt cold, Li Tian wrapped the quilt, moved his head on the pillow, put a bunch of green silk pressed under his face to the back, moved it again, listened carefully to the long breathing of the green branches, she smelled a very faint fragrance before falling asleep, Li Tian showed a wry smile at the corner of her mouth, and looked up slightly at the window that was still dark. I was stunned.
She was actually taken captive as a caged bird, Li Tian's heart swelled with indescribable emotions, she couldn't understand the mentality of taking people as pet keepers, but she knew that no matter how noble the cage was, it was a cage, for pets, the cage was a cage, whether it was made of pig iron or gold and jade inlay, it was all for the owner to see, for pets, all the cages were no different, Li Tian suddenly remembered the Jingba she had raised, and she also used a red sapphire dog leash for it, and the corners of Li Tian's mouth oozed a sarcastic smile.
People can't be pets, that's because people have ideas, scheming, and calculations, and people who don't want to be pets will devour the self-righteous owner, Li Tian's eyes narrowed, and he once again stretched out his fingers to calculate Zhu Mingyan's due date.
In the main courtyard of the palace of Jinning County, the five princes put on a cloak and pushed the door to stand under the corridor, looking up at the inky black sky, thinking about the nightmare just now, and his heart was as empty and black as this sky.
What happened to her? The fifth prince lowered his head and stepped forward step by step around the corridor, she had a hard temper, Yue Niang was not around, the fifth prince felt a pain in his heart, in case there was anything in case, she should not be stupid, her life is the most important thing. The fifth prince paused, his two hands clenched and released, took a deep breath of cold air, suppressed the resentment and hatred in his heart, and raised his hand to pound heavily on the pillar next to him, this is not to blame her, it was she who caused her, if it weren't for herself, she would not have been involved in this biggest and dirtiest struggle for power and profit in the world.
What is she doing now? Asleep or awake? She slept very lightly, her mind was heavy, and she didn't know how to suffer these days, the fifth prince stood in the yellow halo at the door of the main house, turned his head to see the little girl open the curtain, waved his hand to signal that they didn't have to follow, and continued to walk around the corridor with his hands behind his back.
"Lord Wang, it's cold outside, let's go in." Mama Xiong didn't know what came out, and found an opportunity to persuade softly, the fifth prince paused and looked at Mama Xiong fixedly, and then nodded after a while, lowered his head and walked into the house, while talking to Mama Xiong: "I can't sleep, Mama will talk to me." Mama Xiong agreed, and followed the fifth prince into the room, and she was also about to talk to him.
"Mama sit." The five princes went to the cloak and sat on the kang, signaling Mama Xiong to sit too, Mama Xiong first waited with Yingluo and others for the five princes to rinse their mouths and clean their hands and faces, and then took the tea and served it to him, and then sat down on the small pestle next to him.
"You went to the temple again yesterday to make incense?" The fifth prince took a sip of tea and said softly, Mama Xiong sighed softly: "Shangzhu incense asks for peace for the princess, and also asks for peace of mind for yourself, since the princess went to Puji Temple that day and didn't come back, I haven't slept deeply." Mama Xiong sighed again, the fifth prince looked gloomy, looked down at the clear tea in the cup, and looked up at Mama Xiong after a while, and said in an extremely firm tone: "Tian Tian will come back safely." ”
"I think so too," Mama Xiong raised her hand and wiped her tears: "The princess has a hard temper and has a strong temper, she has grown so big, and she has never gossiped about people, but in the past two years, she has ...... many eyes, and she can't wipe them clean: "The princess is too old!" You say, who is our girl trying to provoke? The fifth prince's body stiffened slightly, and without waiting for him to speak, Mama Xiong wiped her tears one after another and said: "The prince is not an outsider, and he is not afraid of the prince's jokes, I don't care about anything else, I just want the girl to come back safely, as long as the girl is safe, the next ...... Nothing matters, don't you say, prince? If that life is gone, what can be done no matter how decent it is? It's a big deal that I accompanied the girl to find a nunnery to live in, and the old lady took my hand before leaving, and explained that I should protect the girl no matter what, but I am a useless ......" Mama Xiong became more and more sad the more she spoke.
The fifth prince's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he looked at Mama Xiong silently, and watched her cry for a while, before his voice was slow and clear: "Mama is right, nothing matters to life, Mama don't worry, I'm the same as you, I just want Tian Tian to come back safely, as long as she comes back safely!" The fifth prince emphasized the last sentence, Mama Xiong's sobbing voice suddenly lowered, and the veil carefully looked at the expression of the fifth prince according to the corner of his eye. The five princes' expressions revealed a trace of exhaustion: "Mama," the slender fingers of the five princes pressed between their eyebrows, as if they didn't know how to say it, and it took a while to put down their fingers, and looked directly at Mama Xiong and said: "Mama is Tiantian's grandmother, she has been raised since she was a child, I know that Mama treats her more painfully than her own daughter, I am an enemy of her husband and wife, if there is no her......" The fifth prince couldn't go on, he never thought about what would happen if there was no her? Yes, without her, would I still be the same as before? Can you go back to the way you lived before you didn't marry her, before you didn't know her? Without her...... The fifth prince shuddered heavily, if there was no her, wouldn't he be alone in this world? Standing alone, looking around blankly...... The fifth prince didn't dare to think about it anymore, as if to embolden himself, he clenched his fists and bit down word by word: "Tian Tian must be fine, she won't have anything!" She's coming back safely! ”
Mama Xiong stared at the fifth prince without letting go of a trace of expression, and when she saw him say this, her heart was slightly relieved.
In the post house of Ningqian Mansion, Xu Sihai sat on Erlang's legs, sat on the top chair in the left row with a relaxed and casual expression, holding the tea bowl and sipping the tea, squinting his eyes and enjoying it very much.
Zhao Mingqian came in from the back hall a few steps in an indigo robe, and smiled at Xu Sihai: "Xu Bangyan came to look for me, why didn't you let people come over first to spread the word?" It also saves Xu Bang's eyes from waiting for a long time. ”
"I haven't finished drinking a bowl of tea, so why wait a long time?" Xu Sihai had a spring breeze on his face: "Zhao Yushi is a senior, so I have to wait for you, but there is no reason for you to wait for me!" Zhao Mingqian's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and while bowing politely, he stared at Xu Sihai solemnly and cautiously, just afraid that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this matter would definitely not be a good thing! The incident in Dingfu, his scheming and acting are all amazing!
Zhao Ming couldn't help but didn't ask Xu Sihai about his intentions, Xu Sihai seemed to be in a pretty good mood, and Zhao Mingqian really first filled in the popularity of Taoist robes and which new word was the most flavorful, and then this Ningqian Mansion was not bad in winter, I don't know how the capital is now, all the way down, it took 108,000 miles, Xu Sihai took the conversation with a look of unfinished and turned to the topic: "Compared with the capital, this Ningqian Mansion is really boring, and the cases of Ding Zhifu and Leng Zhixian are almost tried, I have to discuss with Zhao Yushi how to deal with this case. Zhao Ming's heart jumped violently when he listened, his whole body was on guard, even his hairs stood up, and he looked at Xu Sihai and said with a dry smile: "You have to listen to Xu Bangyan about this matter, you tell me first, what is going on in this case?" ”
"It's not a big deal," Xu Sihai replied lightly: "Ding Jin was born in miscellaneous ways, and he jumped to the post of prefect of Ningqian Mansion, it is inevitable that he will be a little proud, Leng Zhi County is a list of flowers, and it is common for him to have no dust, and it is not one person's fault that the two are not in harmony, but because of this, he slandered the magistrate of a county in detention, and Ding Governor's Mansion is also too bold." ”
