Chapter 29: The Night Banquet (Part II)
When Shen Ji turned his head to look, King Ming's seat was empty, and Yun Huang didn't know where he went, and he was about to get up to look for it, but a palace maid stopped in front of him and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty is invited." He had no choice but to go with the palace people.
Su Rui, the king of Ming, stood under the tree, looking at Su Qingluo with a blue face, as if he had been slapped in the face, "Should Your Highness give this king an explanation?" ”
Su Qingluo smiled lightly, "Isn't it great that Uncle Huang lost a son and now has another daughter?" ”
"That's what you said you were going to give me?!" King Ming almost gritted his teeth, but he kept his voice calm, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.
"Shen Yu is smart, much better than Su Jian, and today she has received a lot of rewards for you when she first shows her edge, Uncle Wang should be grateful."
King Ming clenched his fists, "She killed my son, how can I recognize an enemy who killed my son as a daughter?" ”
Su Qingluo looked at him funny, "Then what should I do?" Uncle Huang Wang has admitted that he has this daughter in front of the hundred officials today. If you say this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it back. ”
King Ming's beard trembled, and he was already angry, "You have done this time, but you have calculated it, kill my son, let her take her place, so as to stay by my side for a long time, and I can only be controlled by you!" ”
Su Qingluo brushed the hair in front of her sideburns, and said calmly: "Ah Jian's death was unexpected by me, this plan is only a temporary decision." ”
"You! ......" King Ming's fist clenched tighter, and he picked up his fist and was about to hit Su Qingluo in the face, but Su Qingluo held it, he raised his eyebrows, and said proudly, "Uncle Wang, don't forget." Now you and I are tied to a rope. Then he shook off King Ming's hand, "I hope that you will be with me in the future." Otherwise, Shen Yu is a sharp sword, she can not only kill Ah Jian, but also kill you! With that, he threw up his sleeves and left. King Ming stood in place and punched the trunk of the tree, shaking the leaves to spill a little.
Yun Huang left the table early, and he suppressed his mind for a long time, and finally came out to breathe. After walking a few steps, she heard someone behind her calling her: "The county lord stays." ”
She turned around, and the man was dressed in ink, and his air was magnificent, and he was in the night. She blinked and called out in some surprise, "Sleep." "And the county lord who is generous and calm and unfazed is like two people.
Chengye said: "Can the county lord take a step to speak?" The voice was cold and hard.
Yun Huang blinked, then nodded.
It is said that Chengye has not seen Yun Huang since that day, but she was taken back to the palace by Su Qingluo, but she never thought that she would appear in this way.
The two of them stood by the pool, the night breeze blew from the water, with a little coolness, Chengye's expression became a little solemn, he wanted to ask her how her injury was healing, but he felt that his identity was wrong. After brewing for a long time, the words blurted out were very sour, "You said that your name is Yunhuang, but it turned out that you lied to me." ”
Yun Huang was anxious for a while, and quickly shook his head, his eyebrows twisted together, and explained: "No, I didn't lie to you, I'm called Yun Huang, I'm not the county lord...... I am the county lord today, no, no, no, no, ......no, ”
Chengye sneered, "I saw the wrong person. ”
Yun Huang was a little sad, she raised her head and asked, "What about you, I didn't know that you were the third prince of Dongyan." ”
The water of the pond is cool, reflecting a bright moon, the moon shadow is like a sickle hook, incomplete, and when the wind passes, it is even more chaotic.
Yun Huang looked at Mingyue in the pool, frowning slightly, "You came to Yucheng to provoke a war between the two countries, and in the future, we will be enemies." ”
Chengye said: "The county lord is raised, Chengye is just an unfavored prince, just responsible for spreading the word and the war, and it is not my turn to interfere." After returning to Dongyan, you and I will not see each other again. ”
Yun Huang originally hung his head and pulled the corners of his clothes, not knowing what to say.
Hearing that he was leaving, he was a little anxious, "Just, you're leaving?" ”
"The war has been decided, the mission has been accomplished, and it is natural that it is time to go."
Yun Huang was a little lost for some reason, and lowered his head and said "oh".
Chengye suddenly raised his head and showed his face, and said with his hand: "You are really beautiful today, that mountain and river meander, and it is also the most wonderful song that Ye has heard in his life, but unfortunately I can't hear it in the future." ”
Yun Huang looked up with tears in her eyes, and she muttered, "Chengye ......"
"There is something else to do tonight, so I will take my leave first, county lord." Chengye arched his hand and resolutely turned around.
The sound of the county lord made people's hearts cold.
Cheng Ye naturally knew the origin of Yun Huang, but she didn't belong to this court, why did Shen Ji let her get involved, but this was not something she should ask. But since this is already the case, they will inevitably have a day of hostility, and if this is the case, it is better to break it off.
When Shen Ji came out of the Taihe Palace, his face was very bad, extremely sad, no one knew what Emperor Yin said to him, he seemed to be greatly stimulated. So much so that after walking in the palace for a long time, he forgot the way, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly thought of Yunhuang, but he didn't know where he was, and when he was regretting, a black shadow blocked his way.
Chengye stood in front of Shen Ji, saluted with his hands, and said solemnly: "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”
Shen Ji looked at Cheng Ye and frowned.
Cheng Ye said: "I was in Chu Yuan that day, I couldn't recognize my uncle, it's a pity, I came to see you today." ”
"You're stopping me here, just for this?" Shen Ji was concerned about the cloud famine, and he was very impatient.
"Not only that, I heard that my uncle returned to the dynasty and came to congratulate him at night, but because of his identity, he couldn't offer a glass of wine at the banquet, so he had to invite him again."
"I have received my heart, so I don't have to drink the wine, I have drunk enough today."
Shen Ji wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chengye again, "Chengye has two words I want to ask my uncle." Over the years, Kyushu has been in turmoil, and my uncle can sleep peacefully at night? Have you ever dreamed? ”
Shen Ji already had anger on his face, "Your Highness has been stranded in Yin Xia for too long, and you are not afraid that Emperor Yan will blame you?" ”
Chengye smiled: "My business, don't bother my uncle." My nephew came here to tell my uncle that the two countries were at war, and it was a great honor to be an enemy of my uncle. There was hatred in his eyes, as if he had seen the scene of the two fighting on the battlefield in the future, fighting each other. When he meets on the battlefield, uncle must not show mercy! With that, he threw his sleeves and left.
Shen Ji stood in place for a moment, and then asked the palace maid passing by, "Do you know where the Lord of Shenyu has gone?" But no one knew.
At this time, Su Qingluo came to look for him, and when he saw Shen Ji, he smiled faintly, "What is Mr. looking for?" ”
Shen Ji was furious, grabbed Su Qingluo's collar and asked, "What did you do to Yunhuang?" ”
Su Qingluo smiled: "Didn't Mr. see it all?" ”
"I said I didn't want her to be involved!"
"It's a pity that this is no longer something that Mr. can control." Su Qingluo let go of Shen Ji's hand and straightened the folds on his clothes, "How are you chatting with your father today?" ”
Shen Ji lowered his head and had a dark face, "Since I have returned to the dynasty and made my attitude clear in front of the hundred officials, what concerns does the prince have?!" ”
"Yu Xin once said that Mr. is talented, it is rare in the world, and it is difficult to find a person through the ages. However, in Luo's view, even though Mr. is talented, he is too restrained and confined to the love of his children. It was then, and it is true today. Mr. can ignore the lives of the people, but he cares too much about a woman. Is she really more important than the world? ”
Shen Ji was silent for a moment, "The prince should know that Shen Ji has no country, he is just a nobody, and he has never had any grand ambitions, just to repay His Majesty for his kindness." ”
"Now, but for a woman?" Su Qingluo sneered.
Shen Ji raised his head and said solemnly: "You don't want to touch her, she doesn't belong here." ”
"Whether she belongs here or not, whether she wants to belong here, Mr. should go back and ask her."
Shen Ji's eyes were red, "What did you say to her and do?" Where is she now?! ”
Su Qingluo still smiled: "She is now the lord of the county, so she should naturally live in the palace, and General Luo has already sent her back, along with the things rewarded by His Majesty." ”
"You're crazy! You know that King Ming treats her like a thorn in the flesh, but why did you deliberately push her to him! Is the life of others just a mustard in the eyes of His Highness?! ”
Su Qingluo said: "I'm crazy, I can do anything for the sake of power, but what about sir, how much better is it to give up the world for one person?" ”
Shen Ji lowered his hands silently, as if he was very sleepy, "Let her go, she's just a child." ”
"It's late." Su Qingluo said, "I'm going to the palace tomorrow, Mr. come with me, if you have anything to say, you can ask it in person." ”
When Shen Ji returned to the Youlan Palace, the moon had sunk in the west. Walking into the round arch, a small figure suddenly jumped out of him, jumped in front of him, and hooked his neck, "Master, you are back." ”
Shen Ji was stunned, and only after smelling the familiar smell between his noses did he feel relieved, and carefully looked at the joyful Yunhuang in front of him, and hugged her tightly in his arms, like a lost and recovered treasure.
Yun Huang was almost out of breath when she was hugged, she raised her head and asked, "What's wrong with the master?" What happened? ”
"The prince said that you went to the Ming Palace."
"I was going to go, but I didn't want to go, I told them that I was still a little soft in the palace and hadn't cleaned up, not to mention that I had to tell the master first, and I told them to go first." She said again, "Master, is Yunhuang good-looking today?" How good is that tune? She jumped down and pulled at her skirt, smug and intoxicated.
Shen Ji's face changed suddenly, he pushed her away and asked, "What did Su Qingluo say to you?" ”
Yun Huang didn't know why the master suddenly became angry, and he was yelled at for a while, almost crying, and blinked his eyes and said, "I didn't agree on anything with him, I just want to help a group of masters." ”
Shen Ji was heartbroken, "Ridiculous! Do you know what you're doing right now?! ”
"Isn't that what the master is doing? Seek the world for the monarch and seek peace for the common people. "The clouds are incomprehensible.
Shen Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "These have nothing to do with you, it's the master who can't stand you, and you shouldn't be involved." ”
Reaching out to pull her, Yun Huang suddenly knelt down and said righteously in that immature voice: "How can it be irrelevant? The shame of extermination, Yunhuang will not dare to forget it for a moment! ”
"Snap" a slap fell, leaving a pink mark on that white face, Shen Ji never thought that she would still have such a thought, over the years, he never mentioned a word about the Wu clan, but she remembered it deeply. Shen Ji raised his hand and asked almost tremblingly, "Do you know what you're talking about?!" ”
Yun Huang bit her lip, suddenly her eyes were hot, and two lines of hot tears rolled down, she turned her head away, and looked aggrieved, "They killed my people and destroyed my homeland, this revenge will not be avenged, Yun Huang is a witch tribe in vain!" ”
Shen Ji raised his head, looked at the vast sky, and sighed, but felt that the sky was about to fall.
