Chapter 139: Shocking Change
Concubine Jin's face changed a few times, and she shook her head and said: "This is impossible, one is that the method of solving Gu is secret, I can't violate the clan rules and tell you this method to this foreigner; The second is that even if you tell you, you can't solve it if you don't understand the art of casting Gu. I can promise you that I will help you solve the Gu once in the future, what do you think? “
Xiao Yu saw that Concubine Jin was sincere, and she didn't want to make too many enemies, so she nodded and said: "Then it's up to you, what do you want to do to Emperor Tan, I won't interfere, but don't endanger the Hou Mansion, Concubine Xian and the second prince!" “
Seeing that Xiaoyu finally agreed, Concubine Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is natural, we will not hurt the people you care about, otherwise you will not sit on the wall and watch!" After speaking, she handed the wax pill in her palm to Xiao Yu, and then attached her ear to Xiao Yu and carefully explained the use of the Yi Rong Gu.
"You have to remember that you can only keep it for half an hour, and when the hour comes, your face will return to its original appearance, remember!"
Xiao Yu carefully put away the wax pills, tilted his head and smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?" “
Concubine Jin said lightly: "The daughter of destiny will do what she says, we are not worried!" “
Xiao Yu glanced at the screen behind Concubine Jin and said with a smile: "Then I will thank Concubine Jin for your generous gift, the little girl said goodbye, please stay!" She said the last sentence out loud, and after saying that, she walked out of Yonghe Palace.
Aunt Jinrong, who was waiting outside the corridor, had already heard Xiaoyu's last words, and when Xiaoyu came out, she accompanied her to Jingyang Palace.
A few days after returning from the palace, the queen's edict came, saying that the lord of Yunhui County was about to get married, and the queen's knees were empty, so she summoned Xiaoyu to enter the palace every five and ten to accompany the queen to talk. After Xiao Yu received the order, he discussed with his wife for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good idea.
The only good news in the past few days is that Murong Hua is back, not only has he returned, but he also brought a sleeve crossbow to Xiaoyu.
It's just that last time he was inspired by Xiaoyu, he found a lot of jewelers to try, and finally made the kind of small crossbow he wanted, tied to his arm, and his sleeve blocked it so that it could not be seen, and he could send a total of five arrows. The little fish liked it very much, and even if it was shot in the bamboo forest.
Xiao Yu asked Murong Hua why he didn't say goodbye, and Murong Hua hesitated for a while before he said: "Before, my subordinates reported that someone was pretending to be me to contact the prince, and I went to investigate this matter, because it happened suddenly, and I didn't bother to tell you!" ”
Xiao Yu looked at the crossbow arrow that had just been shot not far away and said, "Murong Hua, since you keep saying that you like me and want to marry me, then I hope you can tell me what you are doing in the capital now?" I can't do anything with my sweetheart and I'm still in the dark, right? ”
Murong Hua's eyes dimmed a little, and he took Xiao Yu's hand and said in a low voice: "I knew that one day you would be tempted to ask me, but Xiao Yu, please believe me, I have no ill will towards you, nor will I have any ill will towards the Hou Mansion, what I am doing now cannot be told to you for the time being, when the time is ripe, I will tell you again, is it okay?" ”
Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he listened to Murong Hua's words of prevarication. She sighed and said: "Murong Hua, you are like this, it really makes me very insecure, I am afraid, I am afraid that one day you will say goodbye without saying goodbye, do you understand?" ”
Murong Hua looked at Xiao Yu earnestly and said: "Xiao Yu, please believe me, everything I do is for our future, for us to be together in the future, so that I can ask Emperor Tan for marriage in a dignified manner, so that you can marry me in style!" ”
Xiao Yu lowered his head and was silent, and only raised his head after a while and said, "Murong Hua, do you know what happened to me a few days ago?" I am now walking on a tightrope, and I don't know what the future holds, except that if I am not careful, I may be crushed! ”
Murong Hua stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Yu and said, "As soon as I came back, I heard about your Empress Qianqiu's birthday a few days ago, so I rushed to see you before I had time to rest!" It's okay, I've already thought about it, I'll go to the Big Buddha Temple to find the old monk tomorrow, and let him find an opportunity no matter what, just say that the daughter of destiny won't wake up until she is fifteen years old, so that at least you can live in peace for the next two years! ”
Xiao Yuqi said: "In that case, why don't you just say that I am not the daughter of destiny?" Murong Hua shook his head and said: "The Miao people have always had their own way of comprehending the Heavenly Machine, I am afraid that if you are not the daughter of the Mandate of Heaven at that time, their saintess will definitely prove that her statement is correct in order to maintain their reputation, but instead they will pull you into the whirlpool of public opinion." It's better to draw their attention to two years later, so that at least you can slowly fade out of everyone's sight in the next two years! ”
After speaking, he said with a slightly red face: "Besides, when you are ready, I will have to find a way to propose to Emperor Tan!" ”
Xiao Yu turned his head and snorted softly: "If you don't tell me anything, I won't marry you!" Murong Hua saw that the side face of the beautiful woman was red, and even her ears were burned red, and her heart couldn't help but flutter slightly, she stretched out her hand to hug Xiaoyu into her arms, and laughed softly: "You duplicitous little fox, who are you going to marry if you don't marry me?" The crown prince or the second prince? ”
Xiao Yu's eyes widened and he said: "Hey, who is rare and what prince is the prince, really, that prince is a literary and artistic young man, and he is Sister Qin's husband, I have no interest in competing with my good friend!" And the second prince, a little kid, is not my thing! ”
Murong Hua saw that Xiaoyu reacted violently, and his heart was already happy, and he hurriedly said: "That's it, I know you like me like this, don't you?" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at Murong Hua and said, "You're so beautiful!" Murong Hua was overjoyed on the side, and made some affection for Xiaoyu before reluctantly leaving.
After Murong Hua left, Xiao Yu stood in the bamboo forest for a long time, Murong Hua had reservations about her, and she didn't have a point, after all, she didn't tell Murong Hua her secret. But this made her have no confidence in her relationship with Murong Hua at all.
After thinking about Murong Hua's affairs, Xiao Yu thought of Yue Gongzi again. The cold war with Yue Gongzi is still continuing, and after Xiao Yu's anger at that time has passed, she now thinks of Yue Gongzi's care for her.
And now that she has experienced so much, she also wants to discuss it with Yue Gongzi. However, Yue Gongzi seemed to be determined not to see her again, and half a month has passed, and there has been no direct conversation between the two.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yu made up his mind to call Bai Fu and said, "You inform Yue Gongzi that I will go to Lan Kwai Fong tomorrow morning to find him!" Bai Fu was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly sent the message, and after a while, she replied that Yue Gongzi had already agreed.
That night, Xiaoyu had unprecedented insomnia, and she imagined the scene of seeing Yuegongzi tomorrow countless times, embarrassed, indifferent, angry, and happy ......, but no matter what the scene, she had no confidence.
As long as she thinks about the iceberg face of Yue Gongzi when she first saw him, she will be annoyed, if tomorrow Moon Gongzi is still that iceberg face, Xiaoyu does not guarantee that she will not be like thunder.
Early the next morning, Xiaoyu took his wife to set up a car and traveled. She had to go to Yunshang Shop and Lan Kwai Fong every month, and Madame was used to it, so she didn't interrogate. Qi Pan came back from the palace that day and felt the wind chill and needed to recuperate, so only Xiaoyu traveled with Bai Fubairong.
The carriage clattered on East Street, and Xiaoyu didn't have the heart to look at the street scene, just stared at the curtains blankly and anxiously imagined the scene of meeting Yue Gongzi. She hardly slept at night, and when she woke up in the morning, two big dark circles hung on her face, and the carriage shook regularly to make her a little tired.
"Bang...... When the ......" a loud bang woke Xiaoyu from a half-asleep, as the carriage shook violently, Xiaoyu involuntarily rushed forward, fortunately Bai Fu quickly pulled her in time.
The three masters and servants were in a state of apprehension, and they didn't know what was happening outside, so they heard the sound of "whooshing" sharp weapons breaking through the air outside.
"Not good, miss, it's a crossbow!" Bai Fu shouted loudly and threw Xiaoyu down on the side of the car seat and pressed himself on Xiaoyu. The little fish could only hear a few "snatching" sounds, and several feathered arrows had pierced through the carriage and nailed to the saddle.
"Bai Fu, take care of Miss!" Bai Rong pulled out the soft sword at her waist and rushed out. There were already several screams outside, presumably from the guards escorting the car.
"Who is it? Who sent this? Who are they targeting? Could it be me? Xiao Yu lay face down in the carriage, thinking quickly in his head.
"Miss, it's too dangerous in the car, we need to find an opportunity to rush to the nearby store!" Bai Fu said anxiously on the little fish. With that, she swung her sword and split a few feathered arrows that came in.
"Bai Fu, ...... Lift the seat! Xiao Yu knew that the seats in the carriage of Houfu could be lifted, and the seats were generally used to place some sundries.
A word woke up the dreamer, and Bai Fu struggled to lift the seat and take it off to block the two. Xiao Yu reached into the space under the seat and groped, she felt a cloak, which should have been placed on the car for emergencies, and now it was just right to block the arrows.
"Bai Fu, you use this!" Xiao Yu pulled the seat board in Bai Fu's hand and threw the cloak to Bai Fu.
Bai Fu understood and shouted, "Bai Rong, how is it outside!" We're coming out! ”
Xiao Yu only heard Bai Rong shouting outside the left side of the car: "Come out, I'll cover you, there's a wine shop here, you rush forward when you come out of me!" ”
Bai Fu motioned for Xiao Yu to put the seat board on her head, she and Xiao Yu pulled the cloak with one hand, and Bai Fu swung her sword with the other hand to knock down the already broken board.
"Rush!" Taking advantage of the collapse of the car board, a wave of dust was raised, Bai Fu and Xiaoyu pressed against the seat board, pulled their cloaks and quickly rushed off the carriage, the two of them did not stop, rushed forward vigorously, and really rushed into a wine shop.
In just one minute, Xiao Yu felt that it was as long as a century, and countless feather arrows were nailed to the pedestal board above his head, and even the cloak that the two of them were pulling had a lot of feather arrows.
