It was night, the moon was cold and the wind was clear, and a few puffy clouds were floating in the air, covering half of the moonlight.

In a teahouse in Yucheng, the candle shadow is red, the pipa sounds, and there are distinguished guests.

The name of this place is Yinxiang Pavilion, or because of its remote status, it is very deserted.

There is incense in the room, not tea, but the cold sandalwood on the man's body.

At this time, there were only two people in the room, and the silver-clothed boy sat at the table, his slender and white fingers took a white jade tea cup, looking at the amber liquid in the cup, and seemed to be a little distracted.

Less than three feet away from him, kneeled a beautiful woman in yellow. The woman kept her head down, tears in her eyes, she bit her lip hard to prevent the tears from falling, her lips were bitten out of a layer of skin, her hands folded on her abdomen, her demeanor was dignified, if you look closely, you will find that her two thumbs are very restless and have been scratching each other. It can be seen that she is struggling in her heart, and she doesn't dare to let people see it.

After a long stalemate, Su Qingluo suddenly spoke: "Do you know what's wrong?" ”

Ah Xiu had been thinking about things, and was startled when he heard the words, and he couldn't react in time, as soon as he raised his eyes, he looked at a pair of cold eyes like snow, and the wording was messed up after thinking for a long time, and the two lips were rusty, and he couldn't say a word.

Su Qingluo: "Huh? After a while, she hurriedly came back to her senses, and her mind was scribbling words wildly. Temple, Your Highness forgive your sins, slave and maid, slave and maid do not know that the lord of the county is in the carriage, and if the slave and maid know, they will never ......"

"Looks like you still don't know what's wrong?"

Ah Xiu knew Su Qingluo's temperament, and knew the fate of disobeying him, she had seen a maid accidentally splash soup on him and her hands were cut off, and the bloody scene was still vivid.

She hurried to the ground

"The slave and maid should not have collided with the county master, the slave and maid knew that it was wrong, the slave and maid should die, please punish His Highness!" "For people like Su Qingluo, begging for mercy will only die sooner.

"Who can touch it, what can't be touched, you shouldn't need me to teach you, right?"

Who can touch it, who can't touch it, you shouldn't need me to teach you, right? His tone was extremely flat, without any emotion, and there was only indifference in his eyes, but Xiuniang was already sweating. Su Qingluo treats people with a lovely smile on weekdays, and speaks softly, no matter how true or false the smile is, but when he doesn't smile, it is already terrifying.

Ah Xiu was already sweating, and only promised: "Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave will never do it again in the future!" ”

"Never again?" Su Qingluo helped her up, and Ah Xiu felt flattered and became more and more scared. He pinched her chin, looked at the face stained with tears and makeup, and sighed, "It's a pity." ”

It's just three words, and Ah Xiu knows that she has no chance. Su Qingluo never gives people a chance, no matter how wrong she is, how can she be merciful to her? With that little bit of pitiful joy, I humbly thought that he would have a little affection for her, that she was too naïve.

Su Qingluo said: "Then Su Jian is what I want to kill, useless people, what's the use of keeping it?" In the latter sentence, I don't know if it's Su Jian or her.

Ah Xiu felt that her heart was cold for a while, so she saw Su Qingluo let go of her and called "Hengchu", Hengchu pushed the door in and lifted her from the ground and took her out.

Su Qingluo seemed to feel a little disappointed, took out a white silk to wipe his hands, and threw it on the table, and immediately a maidservant came in to collect the tea set and took the white silk away.

He beckoned, and the song stopped.

It turned out that behind the indoor screen, there was another person.

The woman sat on her knees, holding the lute in her arms, her fingers gently plucking the strings, and the music poured out like a spring.

The woman has a touch of frost blue clothes, no fat powder, light eyebrows and eyes, natural drooping lips, looks like a little sad, her appearance is a little beautiful, not outstanding, but the posture of a middle-aged person is just a pair of eyes Cheng Bright, like water, like a pool.

She sat there, caressing the lute in her arms with an expression on her face, not saying a word, even breathing. The room was eerily quiet.

After a long time, Su Qingluo said: "Are you feeling sorry for her?" ”

The woman didn't say anything, the sound of the piano was still flowing, it was obviously a cheerful tune, but it was faintly sad.

"You think I'm too cruel?" Su Qingluo asked again.

The woman still didn't answer.

“

Qi Niang, I thought I understood me. ”

Su Qingluo said to herself, "They are pitiful, why shouldn't I?" ”

The music gradually deepened, as if in response.

"Although I can't see it, I also know that you still hate me in your heart, and hate me so that you can't speak again. But what if you can speak, and you have to think hard about every word to please others with words that go against your will, I wish I could be as dumb as you. ”

The woman behind the screen lowered her eyebrows, and the movements of her hands gradually slowed down, and the music will not stop.

A maidservant knocked on the door and brought in a freshly brewed tea, but when the tea was poured, two cups were turned over, and the tea was hot and smoking, and the yellow-green tea leaves floated and sank in the cups a few times and fell to the bottom.

Su Qingluo said: "Ah Yan is here." ”

When the words fell, someone pushed the door in, and in a hurry, came in with a gust of wind. Broke the silence of the room.

As soon as Su Qingfang entered the house, took off his hood, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother rarely arrives early." ”

Su Qingluo shook the teacup, smiled lightly, and asked, "How did you find out?" ”

"Is there anything else I can't do?" Su Qingyan sat down and took a sip of tea, "Chengye and Song Lian separated when they arrived in Chengjiang, but these two are strange, Song Lian went down the river, and the boat people disappeared as soon as they got off, and there was no news about Chengye entering Dongyan, but it can be concluded that he did not return to Yandu." He looked up and smiled meaningfully, "There's something you're interested in." ”

Su Qingluo raised her eyebrows, "Let's talk about it." ”

"The spies reported that the eldest princess of Dongyan Cheng Yuexi left the palace without authorization."

Su Qingluo frowned, "What is she doing when she leaves the palace?" ”

Su Qingqian smiled: "Princess Yue, she has always liked to fight and kill, how can she be missing in such a thing as war, do you say yes or no?" ”

Su Qingluo nodded, closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, "What's new?" ”

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that someone saw Lan Ruoxuan, who has always been elusive, haunted near Pengcheng, this person is generous, and wherever he goes, he must live in the best restaurant, eat the best food, and be very chic, and the most enviable thing is that he has two beauties with him."

Su Qingluo opened his eyes and laughed loudly, "Such a swagger through the market can only be done by Chengye." Take the Moon Princess with him, and he will come up with it. ”

Su Qingqian said: "I didn't understand before, why did he do this, as soon as my brother said this, I understood, the more he swaggered, the more Chengyi didn't dare to do anything to him, with Princess Yue by his side, no matter what he did, with this sister to bear, Emperor Yan couldn't." ”

Yes, Emperor Yan doted on this daughter, and no concubine or prince in the palace could match her in the slightest.

Not only because the Dongyan royal family only

This princess, Princess Gengyue, is talented, beautiful, and can easily compare with several princes in terms of literary talent and martial arts.

It is said that Emperor Yan once threatened that if the princes were not as good as Princess Yue in the future, he might consider setting a precedent for this daughter, and it is unknown to pass on the throne to her.

is so pampered, it's really beyond people's reach.

is also because the reputation of the princess is too noisy, and Emperor Yan's requirements for the concubine are also very high, and even the princess of the moon is now twenty-one, and she has never been married.

Su Qingluo turned the teacup in his hand and thought thoughtfully, "It's just that Lan Ruoxuan's identity is actually to cover up, but it's a bit redundant." He had a complicated expression. There was a faint worry, but there was a hint of imperceptible joy on the tips of his eyebrows, "Such a strange and thoughtful person is a rare opponent. ”

Su Qingyan continued: "It's not! It is rumored that the third son of Middle East Yan is unruly, has no ambitions, and only knows how to have fun all day long, who would have thought that it would be such a character. ”

Su Qingluo instructed, "Carefully find out where Song Lian has gone, as well as her identity and origin, since the two of them are separated, it must be Chengye who gave her another task." There is also Lan Ruoxuan, find out the relationship between Wuyike and the Dongyan royal family. ”

"Yes." Su Qingluo should go down.

After a long time, Su Qingluo said again: "If it's okay tomorrow, follow me to the Ming Palace." ”
