The Nine Emperors want to go with themselves in Jingzhou? Izumi lowered her eyes and groaned, but did not reply immediately. She thought that this request was a bit abrupt, even if she knew that the two must be in separate cars, but it was still not in line with the etiquette when it was passed out.

Izuku thought for a moment before she understood what the Nine Emperor Princes meant. He probably wanted to enjoy the Yun family's hospitality by the way, but he didn't know that the words were too fast and the words didn't reach the point. Thinking like this, Xiu Wan'er smiled and smiled back at Nie Peixiao: "The concubine has to deal with business in various places along the way, which will probably affect your footsteps." You can take the first step, and the Yun family must arrange the food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. ”

After saying this, Chuxiu didn't give Nie Peixiao a chance to speak again, and turned to King Mu and asked again: "Can I borrow your pen and paper here?" ”

King Mu stretched out his hand to invite him, smiling and acquiescing.

Out of Xiu walked straight to the bookcase, rolled up her sleeves and began to grind, this errand has not been done for a long time, she can't help but have a moment of trance, and remembered Yun Ci again. But she quickly came back to her senses, took a piece of cut rice paper on the flat table, took the pen with a deep heart, dipped it in ink and waved it.

After stopping the pen, Chuxiu carefully checked it again to confirm that the content was correct, and then he breathed like Lan to dry the ink, Shi Shiran folded the letter and presented it to Nie Peixiao: "Whenever you go to a place, you only need to show this letter to the head of the Yun family, and he will naturally arrange it for you." ”

Nie Peixiao looked at the stunning woman with a light smile in front of him, his mind was blank, he slowly reached out to take the letter, and squeezed out four words stiffly: "Thank you, madam." ”

He responded without saying more.

Nie Peixiao clutched the letter in her hand, and her heart was sour and astringent. Originally, the ghost made a god to ask to go with her, but after saying this, he regretted it, looked forward to it, and wanted to stay away and get closer.

originally thought that Mrs. Izuku would agree, but she was so cautious and ...... Come out with clean hands.

Nie Peixiao didn't know if Chu Xiu deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, but she wrote this letter, and it was impossible for him to explain his original intention, as if he had other intentions to go with a widow.

Nie Peixiao smiled reluctantly, lowered her eyes and opened the letter in her hand, glanced at it roughly, and then asked: "There is no seal on this letter, can the heads of the Yun Clan's Qian Villages in various places believe it?" ”

"Yes." Izuku simply confirmed: "Although there is no seal on this letter, there are secret words, but Your Highness can't see it." ”

Hearing this, Nie Peixiao didn't want to ask anything, and then looked at the letter in her hand, and sure enough, she didn't find anything wrong, but the handwriting ......, "Madame is a thin gold body?" ”

"What? What does Your Highness think? Seeing Nie Peixiao's surprised face, Chuxiu asked casually.

"It's a very good handwriting, it's just ...... This king thinks that most women practice hairpins. This is indeed Nie Peixiao's true thoughts.

With just this sentence, Izumi's expression darkened in an instant. "Women practice hairpins and flowers", once upon a time, Yun Ci also said this sentence, almost exactly the same.

In front of outsiders, Izumi didn't want to lose her temper, so she had to force herself to change into a smile again, raised her eyes and replied: "Hairpin Xiaokai has no backbone...... The thin gold body of the concubine was given by her husband. ”

This time, it was Nie Peixiao's turn to sink his handsome face. It wasn't that he didn't see Mrs. Xiu's gloomy look, but he didn't expect that she was thinking of the late Lixin Hou. Yes, according to legend, Mrs. Xiu used to be a pen and ink maid by the side of Xinhou, and it is reasonable for this good hand to get his true biography.

Somehow, a scene suddenly appeared in Nie Peixiao's mind: the Marquis of Lixin, who was clear and clear, taught Mrs. Xiu to write hand-in-hand, and the two occasionally flirted and scolded a few words, and even worse, maybe Lixinhou would also hold Mrs. Xiu's waist, instruct her to write, and smell her fragrance......

Thinking of this scene, Nie Peixiao only felt extremely irritable in her heart, as uncomfortable as eating a fly. King Mu watched from the sidelines and found that his ninth brother was becoming more and more out of shape and silent, but he was afraid that he would impulsively say irreparable words, so he hurriedly said to Chu Xiu: "The deceased is gone, please mourn Mrs." Now that it is not early, the king will not leave his wife for lunch. ”

Chuxiu knew that King Mu always had something to say, thinking that he was hinting that the two brothers had something to say, so he smiled and saluted again: "The concubine is leaving, please stay with the two highnesses." ”

Nie Peixiao really stood motionless in place, not even making a gesture of greeting her chin, only looking at Chuxiu in a daze. Until the latter was out of sight, his gaze still did not retract, as if there was still her shadow in the air, which was worth looking at again and again.

King Mu followed the etiquette and sent Chuxiu out of the small courtyard where the study was located before turning around and returning.

"Jingduo, what is wrong with you today, that you are so rude?" King Mu's faint questions and rebukes rushed into Nie Peixiao's ears.

"Am I rude?" Nie Peixiao asked with some concern. Could it be that Mrs. Izuku also thinks he is rude? His thin lips were pursed, his expression was calm, and he replied perfunctorily: "I was about last night's hangover, and I didn't sleep well." ”

There was a "snap", but seeing that King Mu had opened the brocade box sent by Chuxiu, he took out the jade flute and shook it in front of Nie Peixiao's eyes: "Then how do you explain this?" How did your beloved thing end up in the hands of Mrs. Dexiu? She also asked me to find the owner of the jade flute on her behalf? ”

Seeing that Nie Peixiao didn't speak, King Mu said again: "This jade flute is the only one in the world, you never leave your body, don't say that I admit my mistake." ”

Nie Peixiao still lowered her eyes, her jaw tightened, her face couldn't tell whether she was depressed or desperate, Yingting's eyebrows were as tight as mountains and rivers, and her eyes were like an endless abyss.

Seeing this, King Mu's heart sank, and he couldn't help but guess. What he feared the most happened in the end...... Although I don't know when Nie Peixiao fell and how much she knows, at least for now, Mrs. Xiu doesn't know anything.

Everything, can still be saved.

King Mu held the jade flute in his hand and sighed slowly: "Jing Duo, in the past, when I couldn't love and hate Luan, you were a bystander, and you also persuaded me...... Now, do you want me to repeat what you said? ”

Nie Peixiao shook her head when she heard this, gritted her teeth and replied, "Seventh brother, don't worry, I am measured." ”

King Mu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you remember what I said to you?" ”

Nie Peixiao naturally remembered. At that time, Luan Shu was diagnosed with a child who was pregnant with Chenxuan, but the seventh brother was still infatuated, and even the child had to admit it. He persuaded the seventh brother to let go, and the seventh brother once said: "Jingduo, don't touch the words 'power and love' in this life." Dip one and you won't be able to let it go. ”

He always remembered, and used this as a reference, always reminding himself not to indulge in greed and power, nor to indulge in love between men and women...... He thought he was doing a good job, he thought he was really on his own......

Fortunately, it was not too late, and there was still time to turn back. Nie Peixiao took a deep breath and pretended to smile lightly: "Seventh brother is too worried, I just saw Mrs. Xiu's beauty, and I couldn't take my eyes off it for a while." But what is her identity, she doesn't dare to forget it as a younger brother, and she doesn't have that guts. ”

"Really?" King Mu was a little unconvinced.

"Seriously!" Nie Peixiao was categorical, and then tightened the letter written by Xiu in his hand.

Is it because you are thinking too much? Looking at this, the ninth brother should not know that Mrs. Chuxiu is Han Chu. King Mu decided to wait and see, and thought that one of the two of them was in Fangzhou and the other was in Jingzhou, and there was no chance to meet again except for being able to go on the same road this time.

What's more, Mrs. Fang Caixiu's attitude is already very clear, and she wants to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

Thinking of this, King Mu felt a little relieved, and finally explained to Nie Peixiao: "Don't blame me for being too careful...... It's because I've tasted love that I don't want you to repeat it......"

"I understand, Brother Qi is kind." Nie Peixiao reluctantly smiled again, and her eyes fell on the jade flute in King Mu's hand: "This pipe, please keep it for me first." ”

"What? Are you willing? King Mu raised his eyebrows.

Nie Peixiao smiled bitterly in her heart, but said on her face: "If I take it with me, in case I am discovered by Mrs. Izuxiu on the way to Jingzhou, I can't argue with it......

Naturally, he couldn't tell his seventh brother that he didn't have the courage to play music with this jade flute anymore. I'm afraid that every time I play it, I will think of a certain person and a certain face......

Nie Peixiao didn't realize that the meaning of his last sentence had faintly revealed that he wanted to go the same way with Izumi. However, King Mu heard it, but he only frowned and said, "It's okay, put this jade flute here first, and when you want it one day, I will send someone to send it to you quickly." ”

Mu Wangfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reminded him again in an ominous voice: "Be careful on the road." ”

*****

Two days later, Nie Peixiao and Chuxiu set off on the same day and rushed to Jingzhou. Before leaving, he had made all the arrangements, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Yanlan City for the New Year, so he temporarily returned the feed to Mrs. Xie.

This is a rare opportunity, not only to deal with the affairs of Yun Xian and Shen Yu, but also to take the opportunity to find out the situation and do some business. The most important thing is that while the New Year is approaching, she can also use this reason to make friends with some of the princes in Jingzhou.

Since King Mu's Mansion is in the south of the city and away from the Xinhou Mansion in the north of the city, although the two set off at the same hour, Nie Peixiao is still much faster than Xiu's footsteps. Going south to Jingzhou, it is naturally more convenient to find Muwangfu in the south of the city.

From Yanlan City to the imperial city of Jingzhou, there is one waterway and one land. Nie Peixiao and Izuku both chose to take the land route, so they always arrived at a city with their front and back feet. Everywhere he went, Nie Peixiao held the letter written by Chu Xiu and asked the local Qian Zhuang steward to arrange food and lodging, in fact, in his private heart, he wanted to know more about Xiu.

Although they knew that it was to drink to quench their thirst, it was just this journey, and when they returned to Jingzhou, they would return to the bridge and the road. Just let him deceive himself for a few days! Then, completely relieved.

With this in mind, Nie Peixiao seemed to be a little more open-minded. To his disappointment, he was treated with great hospitality everywhere he went, but he never saw Mrs. Dexiu again. I don't know if she did it on purpose? Or do you really have to deal with local business? In short, the distance between them is getting farther and farther away.

At the beginning, Izumi and he were still able to enter the city with their front and back feet; When she left the boundary of Fangzhou, she always entered the city half a day late; Until he had been on the road for more than 20 days, he had already set foot a whole day ahead of her.

In other words, they can no longer be in the same city. This realization made Nie Peixiao extremely disappointed, not to mention that during this period, he had never seen her. But that doesn't mean he hasn't mastered her whereabouts.

In fact, how many miles away from him was, whether it was farther or closer, Feng Fei would return to him every day.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Nie Peixiao was the first to arrive in the imperial city of Jingzhou, and the frustration in his heart became stronger and stronger. Finally ended this trip before and after, the distress of knowing the whereabouts of the other party but not being able to see each other made him frustrated and tormented.

Count the days, and she should be there in two days. But until the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Mrs. Xiu and her party were still not seen entering the city. Nie Peixiao finally panicked......
