Chapter 21: Out of the House
The people who met in the dark night in the deep palace talked about what they said, just like that night, was washed by the light of the sky and dissipated into the heavens and the earth, and no one knew.
Cui Mansion, two days have passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner that night.
The weather was fine on this day, and the little maids in all the courtyards in Cui's Mansion took advantage of this rare autumn weather to take out the masters' winter clothes and winter quilts to dry, and the purple courtyard was also busy.
Lieyun had nothing to do today, so he came to the flower room converted from the left wing room, and took a small silver scissors to prune the branches and leaves of those delicate flowers.
The flower room is not big, and there is a bookcase for Lieyun to paint at the door, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase are complete, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the bookcase. But there are a lot of flowers inside, there are ordinary and easy to live such as iron chopsticks, cold dings, spotted leaf bamboo begonias, there are both ornamental and medicinal such as gentian, yarrow, and more precious and difficult to raise such as eighteen bachelors, Suguan lotus ding, tortoiseshell dragon.
Now it is close to late autumn, those flowers and plants that can withstand the cold and overwinter can be taken care of a little, those who are delicate and expensive, even if they enter the winter in a few days, this flower house burns the earth dragon like a greenhouse, and they have to be carefully served. Blazing Cloud is here today to remove the dead branches and leaves, and then prune the overly vigorous stems and leaves, so that they can bloom again in the following spring.
Before the age of ten, Lieyun never loved these flowers and plants, the only thing he loved was to secretly practice martial arts with his grandmother, and the other was the dog named Black Mountain that he raised.
Black Mountain was raised by Lieyun since childhood, his hair is oily and shiny, his whole body is dark without a trace of variegation, and his spirit is mighty. Going out is not only proud of the Dingjing dog world, but also the people who can get close to it, except for Lieyun, there is only Lieyun's mother, Princess Zhaohua, even its earliest owner, personally brought it as a three-year-old birthday gift to Lieyun's first prince Zhao Qichang, Lieyun's imperial uncle, can not touch it, at that time, the first prince also smiled and said, this is to give Lieyun a puppy, it is clearly a white-eyed wolf.
It's a pity that two days before the fire three years ago, Montenegro sneaked out of Lie's house one night and never appeared again.
And the prince's uncle......
"County Lord, there is news from Lieba, there are suspicious people haunting Cui's Mansion in the past two days, and when Lieba and they went to the pharmacy to grab medicine, there were also spies watching outside the major pharmacies in the capital." A low voice interrupted Lie Yun's thoughts, and it turned out that Cuizhu had entered the flower room at some point.
Lie Yun put down the small silver scissors in his hand, took the wet handkerchief handed over by Cuizhu and wiped his hands, and sat down on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase, "Let Mo Ju bring tea in." ”
Mo Ju came in with hot tea, poured it for Lie Yun, and listened to Lie Yun tell him to stay outside the door, Mo Ju knew that the two had something to say, so he took a basket and took a small pestle and sat at the door of the flower room clumsy and made the dreadlock.
Lieyun took a sip of hot tea, "It seems that there is really someone behind my aunt, and we are also suspected of making that scene." ”
"Could it be that Madame sensed that something was wrong and reported it to the people behind the scenes?" Cuizhu asked.
"Maybe my aunt was suspicious, so she told the person behind her to investigate, or maybe my aunt didn't find out that something was wrong, but the person behind it planted a nail in Cui's house," Lie Yun paused, "I just don't know how many people have this nail, whether it's in Songhe Hall, or by my aunt's side, or in the Purple Courtyard." ”
"How's that for good? Wouldn't the county lord's words and deeds in the Cui family have fallen into the eyes of those behind the scenes? And our change of dressing a few days ago......" Cuizhu, who has always been calm, also became anxious when he thought of this.
Lie Yun patted Cuizhu's arm comfortingly, "It's okay, the person behind the curtain is just suspicious now, or not even suspicious, just in case, we have to stare outside the mansion to see if anyone else is in contact with us, and staring outside the pharmacy to see if anyone is going to catch the same medicinal herb for a long time." He wanted to be sure that I was still on the Soul Eater Soup, and that everything was still under their control. If he was really suspicious, he would not just send someone to watch outside, but would come directly to the Purple Courtyard to test it. Besides, I've got the first hand, and they can't keep an eye on it. ”
When Lieyun said this, Cuizhu seemed to think of something, his face was still impatient and worried just now, and he suddenly relaxed, "Yes, I almost forgot, the county lord has asked Liesan and me to prepare for this in Tanji Temple." Thanks to the county lord's wisdom and carefulness, he asked Lieba and them to go to different pharmacies in disguise to grab medicine in advance, so that even if the person behind the scenes had the heart, he couldn't find out anything. ”
"That's right. Moreover, listening to what Xiao Yu said, the person who betrayed the Medicine King Valley only stole the needle method of the Nine Turns Soul Locking Needle and the recipe for the Soul Eater Soup, even if they found out that someone was grabbing the same medicinal herb, they would not recognize that it was the recipe for the Soul Resurrection Soup. ”
Lieyun got up from the Taishi's chair, bypassed the bookcase, and came to the window of the flower room, where he saw that the maids outside were setting up bamboo poles and carefully putting up winter clothes and quilts one by one.
"But, to be on the safe side, we're going to have to figure out a way. I haven't regained my memory yet, everything is still like a fog, and I haven't figured out how I am, not to mention the enemy. Lieyun reached out and fiddled with the water basin under the window, "Besides, even if I recover my memory, the person behind the curtain can manipulate the events of three years ago and these three years, and his plan will not happen overnight, and his strength will definitely not be matched by my current strength." ”
"What good idea did the county lord come up with? Please also ask the county lord to command. Cuizhu was in a hurry, and he actually clasped his fists at Lieyun with both hands, revealing the face of a warrior.
Seeing that there was a smile overflowing in Lieyun's eyes, Cuizhu felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly put down his hands and made a big red face.
"Cuizhu, I haven't seen the other secret guards yet, and I don't know what their temperament is, but I believe in the Lie family, and I believe in the vision of my grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother. I don't know exactly what I'm carrying, but it's certain that I'm not going to follow the path of a flowery boudoir like other girls. ”
Lieyun stepped forward and shook Cuizhu's hand, "You are the only available person in my hands right now, and you are also the person I originally entrusted my trust, I hope that each and every one of you can fight side by side with me to the end." Mo Ju has a temperament, and you are more calm and careful, so I will need you in many places in the future, and I also need you to look at Mo Ju many times, so as not to hurt her brain fever and impulse for a while. So, you have a heavy burden on you, you understand? ”
Cuizhu looked at Lie Yun, his eyes were slightly red, and he fell to the ground, "County Lord, Lie Wu understands, all the secret guards of the Lie family understand that we are born for the county lord, and we die for the county lord." It's a pity that Lie Yi and they can't hear the words of the county lord, they have long been looking forward to coming to the county lord, protecting the county lord, and serving the county lord! By the way, what kind of way did the county lord think of to deal with this? ”
Lieyun listened to Cuizhu's loyal words, and his heart was moved, "I don't want you to die for me, I want you to live well with me, and see how the people behind the scenes end." As for what we have come up with, we'll just leave the house tomorrow. ”
As he spoke, Lie Yun bent down and stretched out his hand to help Cuizhu get up.
