Chapter 68: The Conspiracy in the Zhaoyang Palace
Thinking of this, Hua Yan sneered, and walked straight towards Lin Yunrou, scaring Lin Yunrou so much that she didn't dare to make a sound. How did she know that she walked behind Lin Yunrou and picked up the fallen arrow shaft, put it in front of Liu Yifu, and said, "Whether the flower on this arrow is broken or not, please ask the prince to check it himself." ”
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the painting, and it turned out that the shot was the flower worn on Lin Yunrou's head, and the arrow shaft hit the center of the flower, and the petals did not fall.
Liu Yizhen got up and applauded again and again: "The archery skills of the girl who painted Yan are not inferior to the man at all, this king admires!" ”
Draw a face and bow to express gratitude. She turned to look at Liu Yifu and said, "Shizi, the rules are set by you, but you don't know who to shoot, and this petal is intact, does the eldest prince think it can be counted?" ”
Liu Yifu couldn't say anything when he saw this, so he just drank wine.
Lin Yunrou had no reason to attack, so she had to hold back her tears with hatred.
Liu Yizhen helped: "I'll see it with my own eyes, of course I'll count." ”
However, Hua Yan didn't plan to stop there, she continued: "Since you are counting, the housekeeper still doesn't do it? ”
The housekeeper was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked cautiously, "The slave doesn't know what the young lady meant?" ”
Lin Yunrou understood, and sat on the ground again in fright, she looked at Liu Yifu, her mouth moving up and down nervously lost her voice, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Huayan pointed at Lin Yunrou and asked the housekeeper rhetorically, "Why do you say you are on an errand?" Didn't you hear what the prince just said? ”
The housekeeper pondered for a long time, and finally understood the meaning of painting Yan, but he didn't dare to step forward and make a move, and observed the expression of his master Liu Yifu with fear.
Hua Yan continued to say slowly: "Okay, then let me remind you one more sentence. The order of the prince of the world was that all those who were shot should be pulled out and put to death. ”
The housekeeper wanted to step forward and make a move, but halfway through, he didn't move again, and knelt down in front of Liu Yifu.
Liu Yifu only cared about drinking, and didn't give half a look, but his face lost the enthusiasm just now.
The dull Liu Yizhen smiled and secretly watched this good show.
At this time, Xiao Minglang got up and said: "Painting a girl, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, it's better to let her go this time." ”
"I knew you would intercede for her." Hua Yan thought to herself, turned her head and glared at him. Originally, she was just to scare and scare Lin Yunrou and kill her arrogance, but now that the goal has been achieved, she no longer entangles it, and only says: "Okay, forget it this time." After speaking, he was about to return to his seat, but he saw Liu Yifu suddenly stand up and said, "The competition has not yet been distinguished, the second girl should continue." ”
Huayan smiled back: "Okay, accompany me to the end." How do you compare, you say? ”
Liu Yifu asked the housekeeper to change the new arrow with a thorny head, and said to Huayan: "This time change the way to play, a hundred meters away, see who shoots the smallest object, and the winner is the winner." ”
Huayan said without showing weakness: "Good, compare it." ”
After speaking, the two of them pulled out the arrows at the same time, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", and the two arrows were fired together, one arrow flew into the sky, and the other arrow fell into the ground. And they all hit the target.
The housekeeper personally took the prey of these two people back, only to see Liu Yifu shoot the flying swallow in the sky, and the prey of the painting was a grasshopper on the lawn. Wins and losses are immediately visible.
Liu Yifu looked at the grasshopper that was pierced by the arrow, and was surprised, and said again and again: "The second girl is really good at archery, this king is defeated, and he is willing to wait for the girl to deal with it." ”
"See that I don't make you submissive." Hua Yan secretly laughed in his heart, turned around and said to Liu Yifu with a smile: "The little girl doesn't dare to be above the prince, how can she dare to deal with the eldest prince?" ”
Liu Yifu only thought that she didn't dare, and said with confidence: "This king is a good talker, and he is willing to lose the bet, even if the second girl says it." ”
Huayan waited for his words, so he said confidently and boldly: "Since this is the case, I will punish the prince for not being allowed to leave the palace for a month, except for the official affairs of the court, he has to stay in the palace." Shizi Keyi?"
When Liu Yifu heard it, where was he willing to follow, but it was not easy to make trouble, he said sullenly: "What the girl said, how is it!" ”
At this time, Liu Yizhen on the side suddenly coughed loudly one after another, and his originally pale face turned red and his green tendons were exposed. Huayan hurriedly stepped forward to check and said with concern: "Second master, I am unwell, and it is inconvenient to sit in this vent, why don't you go back to the house early to rest?" ”
Liu Yizhen glanced at Huayan gratefully, smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Liu Yifu had to pretend to greet him, and sent someone to send Liu Yizhen back to the mansion.
"The daughter of the prince said that she would not lose her trust, and she would not need to be supervised. The little girl took her leave. Huayan leaned over to say goodbye and left the palace with a smile.
This made Liu Yifu not annoyed, and drank the sullen wine vigorously.
Then Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang also resigned.
Liu Che'er caught up with Huayan and said with a smile: "You have a lot of ghost ideas!" ”
Huayan raised his head and smiled: "I haven't really made a move yet!" ”
"Okay, you're good, okay." Liu Che'er smiled dotingly.
Huayan turned to Xiao Minglang behind him and said, "Why don't you have any emotions at all?" ”
Xiao Minglang said gloomily: "I don't know how many lives have been lost in this palace like this. ”
The three of them looked at the palace in the distance at the same time, deep in thought.
At this time, Sheng Lan ran over panting and said to Huayan, "Miss, it's all done." ”
Huayan patted Shenglan's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "My Shenglan, you can always relieve my worries." ”
Liu Che'er asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Huayan waved his hand to signal Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang to get closer, and stepped forward and whispered: "The girl who was just ordered to be executed is not dead!" ”
Liu Che'er suddenly realized: "It turns out that Shenglan left halfway to save that girl!" ”
"Are you quiet, do you want to kill me?!" Hua Yan pinched Liu Che'er hard, and said in a low voice.
Liu Che'er immediately kept silent and rubbed her pinched arm like a bullied child.
Xiao Minglang's eyes fell on the body of the painted face, and he never left for a long time, although her face was covered with a veil, but the beautiful eyes were even more revealed, and he said for a long time: "Thank you for the painting girl for relieving the siege today, Xiao has written it down." ”
"Don't just talk about it! There must be practical actions, so let's invite me to the Forgotten Dust Building for a big meal another day, and this matter will be over. "Painting Yan crossed his hands on his hips, looking serious.
Xiao Minglang shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, according to the girl's wishes, the time will be decided by the girl freely." ”
"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes!" Huayan smiled slightly, bowed down to the two of them, and got into the car with Shenglan and left.
The matter of archery in Huating was all over the capital at one time.
It even reached the ears of the emperor. On this day, after the next dynasty, the emperor summoned the prince and close ministers to the palace to discuss the matter.
Liu Yu half lay on the throne, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "I heard that Fu'er and the little girl of the painting Taishou fought archery, and lost?" Is there such a thing? ”
Liu Yifu stood up and said solemnly: "Back to my father, my son did lose to Huayan. ”
"Hahaha, in this way, how can you paint your face with such skill? I'd love to see her so powerful. Liu Yu laughed.
Xia Shan, the painting under the hall, listened to it, and said in fear: "Weichen is afraid, please ask the emperor, the eldest prince forgives the sin, it is the goddaughter of Weichen who has no way to ......"
Liu Yu interrupted the painting of Xia Shan and said: "Eh, what is the crime of painting Aiqing, you don't want to be like a frightened bird, and ask for guilt at every turn." You are my beloved minister, and you are an important minister of the court, and you can speak bluntly. Painting Yan won Fu'er by relying on real skills, and the name is justified. Next month's autumn hunt, let her go too. Then organize another competition. This autumn hunt must be a bumper harvest! Yes? Hahaha......"
Painting Xia Shan said respectfully: "Weichen obeys." ”
This time, the main discussion was to discuss the autumn hunt, and after agreeing on the number of participants and various matters, these people withdrew from the Taiji Hall.
After Hua Xia Shan returned home, he told Hua Yan the news, and carefully told her not to act willfully, but to restrain her edge. He promised to do so well on his face, but he turned around and forgot about it.
She really didn't dare to be interested in autumn hunting, but she still had the idea of looking forward to seeing her sister at this opportunity. It is absolutely impossible for Liu Yifu to be absent, and his queen naturally wants to go with him.
Huayan only cared about sisterhood, but she didn't expect a bloody storm to begin.
In the Zhaoyang Palace, the candlelight is not extinguished day after day. In the shadow of the flower next to the corridor, a strange figure flashed, the shadow quietly came to Mrs. Zhang's bedroom, knocked on the door gently, only to hear the door "squeak", opened, the black shadow quickly jumped in, the owner of the house did not shout, but chatted with the black shadow.
It was Mrs. Zhang who opened the door, and she extinguished the candle near the door, leaving only a light on the tea table in the back room, and she reflexively said to the man in black, "It's safe now." ”
The man in black took off the black veil and hat on his face, revealing a handsome face, this person was Xie Hui.
Xie Hui sat down, poured a cup of tea, hurriedly took a sip, and said, "The assassination has been arranged." The leader is called Jin Qilin, and he is the hall master of the defeated Longmen Hall, and there are three or four hundred people under him. ”
Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "What is the use of a defeated person?" ”
Xie Hui said: "Don't underestimate him, even if he is not good, he is still a person from the rivers and lakes." His little minion is worth three of us, and he is willing to make a move, and this matter is foolproof. I heard that before the Taoyuan power rose, his Longmen Hall also dominated one side, and he was a figure that should not be underestimated. ”
Mrs. Zhang said happily: "It's really so powerful? You tell him for this palace that after the matter is completed, in addition to the ten thousand gold he demanded, there will be another heavy reward. ”
Xie Hui nodded and said, "I see." Jin Qilin is a person in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't like to be an official, he loves gold very much, I have what he wants, are I afraid that he will not listen to orders? ”
Mrs. Zhang suddenly worried: "There can't be anything wrong, right?" If they miss, the emperor will blame it, and you and I will never recover! ”
Xie Hui held Mrs. Zhang's shoulder and comforted: "Madame, don't worry, you and I should be together inside and outside, and there will be no problems." With that, he blew out the last candle and did not leave until the early hours of the next morning.
