Chapter 10 Planning
Old lady Cui looked calm and said, "What are you talking about, your grandmother, Princess Anguo, is a strange woman, your mother Princess Zhaohua is amazingly talented, and your family is full of family to defend the country, and you are brave and loyal." It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, your parents died young, otherwise if I get my Cui family to take care of you, the Cui family should be lucky. ”
"Yes, good boy, you just have to make this your own home, and treat us as your own father and grandmother. Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, poor thing, you are the good granddaughter of my wife. After speaking, Mrs. Cui had already wiped her eyes with the brocade handkerchief in her hand.
Cui Wanning put away her usual hostility towards Lieyun's favor, the little girl was not involved, her mood was written on her face, at this time, she only felt that this cousin was actually very pitiful, her father and mother were gone, and the family's favor would be shared with her.
Cui Yanqi looked like he didn't understand what you were talking about at all, after all, three years ago, he was just a little kid in open crotch pants, and after he was enlightened at the age of four, he moved to the front yard and was taught by Cui Jing himself. I still like this cousin, after all, I always give him something fun and interesting.
And Cheng Jinsi, who was holding Lieyun's wrist in front of him, suddenly changed his face, and panic flashed in his eyes, if Lieyun hadn't been watching her, he would have missed it. Although Cheng Jinsi quickly collected the look in his eyes and changed to distress, the right hand holding Lieyun's wrist unconsciously had already made a big move. Lieyun let out a low snort, Cheng Jinsi hurriedly let go of his hand, and looked down to see that Lieyun's wrist had been clutched out of a circle of red and blue marks.
Cui Jing listened to what Lie Yun said, and was looking at the complicated look of nostalgia, regret and distress, hearing Lie Yun shouting, he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and saw that Lie Yun's wrist was actually held like that by Cheng Jinsi, and finally couldn't help but accuse, "Madam, why did you hurt Yun Er like this?" ”
Cheng Jinsi lowered his head and held Lieyun's wrist to check, ready to tell Siyu to ask for a doctor, listening to Cui Jing's reprimand, his body trembled violently, sad, angry, ruthless, desperate, and happy, intertwined in his eyes in turn, and finally returned to calm. Cheng Jinsi glanced up at Cui Jing, "Master, the concubine didn't mean it, but when I heard Yun'er mention my sister, I couldn't control myself for a while, so I lost my mind and hurt Yun'er." Yun'er, I'm sorry, my aunt didn't hurt you, so I'll let Siyu ask the doctor to come and show you. Aunt is really, really ......" Cheng Jinsi spoke, and he couldn't hear anything unusual, only chagrin and full of distress for Lie Yun.
After confirming what he was thinking, Lie Yun also showed a smile on his face, and shook Cheng Jinsi's hand, "Auntie, Yun'er is not so delicate, just go back and rub some medicine for this little injury." Aunt don't blame herself anymore. Turning to Cui Jing again, "Uncle, don't blame your aunt anymore, your aunt can't wait to hold Yun'er in the palm of her hand, how can she hurt Yun'er!" ”
"After all, Yun'er is wrong, she said the wrong thing, which not only caused her grandfather and grandmother to be sad, but also caused her aunt to be wronged, and her uncle to worry that Yun'er was wrong." As he spoke, Lieyun bent down again.
This time, Mrs. Cui was carried by Mingqin and personally helped Lieyun get up, and asked Gusse to take the birth muscle and personally wipe Lieyun on his wrist.
After making a fuss for a while, Old Lady Cui and Old Lady Cui were already tired, so Cui Jing took everyone to retreat.
Cui Wanning and Cui Yanqi went back to Fragrance Courtyard and Songtao Xuan without mentioning it, while Cheng Jinsi asked Cui Jing to go back to Rende Courtyard first, and she went back to Purple Courtyard with Lie Yun to wait for the cold dew to deliver medicine.
The time has passed, and the night is so thick that even with the lantern, it is a little difficult to see the face of the person opposite. Lie Yun and Cheng Jinsi were walking on the way back to the Purple Courtyard, and Cheng Jinsi suddenly asked, "Yun'er, is there anything wrong with Tanji Temple?" Did you dream about your sister last night? ”
Lie Yun looked at the blurred face in the halo of the lantern in front of him, and replied with mockery in his eyes, "Auntie, there is nothing wrong with Tanji Temple, as for dreaming of her mother, Yun'er thought about it, but every night I drank medicine and slept with it, it was a night of dark sweetness, not to mention my mother, I didn't even dream of my father." ”
"Then why did you say that all of a sudden? My aunt was taken aback by you. ”
Don't do bad things, how can you be afraid that the ghost will knock on the door, I will scare you. Lie Yun thought in his heart, but the words he said were mixed with the sorrow of the little daughter and a hint of envy, "Don't hide it from my aunt, it was in Songhe Hall that I saw the joy and excitement of my grandfather and grandmother, aunt-in-law, cousin and cousin, and I saw that my cousin and cousin have parental care, but they can laugh and play without worry, Yun'er is envious, thinking how good it would be if Yun'er's parents were also there." That's why Yun'er said that. ”
"Hey, you kid, what are you, me, now that we're a family, don't think about it anymore." In the dark, Cheng Jinsi breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that even his tense body was relaxed.
When I arrived at the purple courtyard, I waited for tea again, and Hanlu sent the medicine. Cheng Jinsi saw Lieyun drink it, and told him as usual, before returning to Rende Courtyard with Hanlu.
The courtyard gate was locked, and Lieyun told Hongmei and Zilan to go down to rest, and let Moju and Cuizhu be on duty tonight.
There were only three people left in the room, Lieyun, Moju and Cuizhu, and Lieyun asked, "Does Cuizhu know everything?" ”
"Yes, county lord, Mo Ju told me everything."
"Is it going well tonight?"
"Everything went well, and no one noticed, the decoction has been changed."
It turned out that the medicine I drank tonight was not the soul-devouring soup, but the recipe-soul-restoring soup given by Xiao Yu.
When they were at Tanji Temple, Lie Yun and Mo Ju were thinking about how to avoid this bowl of soup and medicine tonight. Mo Ju couldn't leave Lie Yun's side for a while, and Cuizhu didn't know about it at home, so he could only send a message to the secret guards left behind by the Lie family by Mo Ju with a secret method, so that they could grab the medicine separately according to the prescription, and then find a chance to send it to the Purple Courtyard.
It happened that in the evening, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui asked everyone to go to Songhe Hall for dinner, and Mo Ju and Cui Zhu happened to stay in the purple courtyard to answer. Taking advantage of the cold dew not paying attention, the entire large kitchen was busy preparing meals for Songhetang, and secretly mixed the medicine. Therefore, although Cheng Jinsi saw Lie Yun take the decoction, he didn't know that the medicine was no longer a soul-devouring soup, but a soul-devouring soup.
"But the county lord, this is not a long-term plan after all." It was Cuizhu who spoke.
"Why not, there are not many people in the Cui family who know martial arts, even if we run into that Zhou Pozi, as long as we are careful, we don't have to worry about being found out." Mo Ju said, a little disapproving.
"The Cui family is really not worried, but if the horse stumbles, if it is discovered, we will lose all our efforts, and the situation of the county lord will be even more dangerous. So, we still have to think of a foolproof solution. ”
Lieyun glanced at Cuizhu appreciatively, Mo Ju's temperament jumped out and went straight, while Cuizhu was the opposite, thoughtful and calm.
"Cuizhu is right, I'm afraid of a mistake once a hundred times. We're going to have to think of a safe way. That's why I'm going to test them tonight. According to the results of the temptation, I think of a plan that may work. ”
The blazing clouds looked out the window, and the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, revealing a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.
