Chapter 16: The Moon God Mountain Scheme
In Wangfeng Hall, Li Bo, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was waiting in the lobby, waiting for Nan Jiyue to go to the Prime Minister's wife for treatment. The prime minister's wife, Han Ruoyu, has been unconscious, and there is really no way. It just so happens that the famous Jiyue Gongzi is in Yangxing, hoping that Jiyue Gongzi's amazing medical skills can return the Prime Minister's wife to an intact prime minister.
"I'm really sorry, the original son was ready to enter the mansion early in the morning, but a dying patient was suddenly sent to the hall. The matter is urgent, and I ask Steward Li to understand. Shang Fu dealt with Li Bo on the side, and ordered someone to refill him with tea.
Li Bo hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay." It's just that I don't know if Jiyue Gongzi has handled it well. He waited here for an hour, and drank round and round of tea, and now he could not drink it anymore.
Shang Fu showed a look of embarrassment, "Gongzi's diagnosis and treatment has always allowed others to go in and disturb, if the patient has a good one, we will be guilty." Or ......"
In the hall, Shang Fu and Li Bo had a round of debate on whether to advance or not, and in the inner hall, Nan Jiyue and Chu Jiang were at a stalemate for a long time. Chu Jiangli held the frost cold in one hand, Nan Jiyue held the jade flute in the other, the red like blood and the white like the moon, facing each other and not giving in to each other.
Xuan Bai had been staring at the two of them as if they were still for an hour, and his eyes were sour. An hour ago, Chu Jiangli came in and stabbed without saying a word. His son-in-law resisted with a flute, and he also didn't say a word.
The tip of the frost cold sword was against the jade flute, and the sword body was covered with tiny frost flowers, and the cold air spread, cold and piercing. The jade flute is becoming more and more verdant, like a vibrant green bamboo in a bamboo forest. Jade and green bamboo, no matter which one of them, can't resist such a divine weapon as frost and cold. However, in Nan Jiyue's hands, the fragile jade became the hardest weapon in the world.
Chu Jiangli's wrist trembled slightly, and she was about to lose the sword in her hand. Beads of sweat oozed from Nan Jiyue's forehead, and his internal strength was about to be unable to hold on. The two looked at each other and exchanged glances very reluctantly. There was a bang in the air, and Chu Jiangli and Nan Jiyue each took a few steps back.
"Hypocrite, you really want to go against me!" Every word felt like it was running between the teeth.
"Li'er, I'm not trying to go against you. You know in your heart that Hu Lingjian is selfish, and he gave up your mother and daughter for the sake of official positions eighteen years ago. Today, eighteen years later, the Prime Minister's wife is unconscious, and there is no hindrance to him. Even, on the contrary, it can help. The prime minister of a country ran around all day for his wife, becoming more and more haggard, and everyone in Yangxing praised Hu Lingjian's affection and righteousness. β
If the prime minister's wife is used to make Hu Lingjian compromise, then it is too naΓ―ve. Nan Jiyue's eyes overflowed with pity, "Li'er, you are too kind after all, and you can't be ruthless to Han Ruoyu, who conspired with Hu Lingjian to frame and abandon your mother eighteen years ago." "What's the use of keeping her unconscious? This punishment is too light. Otherwise, with her straightforward nature, it would be normal to take their lives directly.
"Hypocrite, Hu Lingjian is a damn villain, but he has an indispensable role in Liyang's court." That's why she couldn't kill him.
"Childe," Shang Fu walked into the inner hall, "Childe, the Prime Minister's wife is dead." β
Nan Jiyue looked at Chu Jiangli suddenly, and the ink in her eyes was surging. Chu Jiangli looked calmly into his eyes and looked directly into his eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time and did not give in to each other. Shang Fu glanced at Xuan Bai and retreated from the inner hall.
August is the time of summer heat. Even in the northernmost part of Gaudi, there are only mountains and dense forests that can stop the summer heat. The tall and dense trees block the scorching sun, and the breeze blows through it, bringing a touch of coolness. The tip of the nose is lightly smelled, and the faint aroma of black pine lingers. The fingers are slightly open, and the dappled sunlight beats in the hands, occasionally leaking through the fingers, and jumping onto an unknown wildflower.
The loud rumbling sound resounded in my ears, like thunder before a rainstorm. Slowly approaching the source of the sound, the dead leaves on the soles of the feet creaked, and gradually approached the place of the sound with regular steps. Passing through a small forest of black pines, I turned to the left and suddenly opened up.
Without the depths of the dense forest, the eyes are occupied by a huge waterfall. Looking up, the waterfall is like a silver horse, pouring down from the sky and falling into a bottomless pool. The sound of the water is as loud as thunder, and the splashes of water are flying, as if they are raindrops the size of beans, falling on people's bodies cold and refreshing. It's a hot summer, but it's like late autumn, and it's extremely cool, making it an excellent place to escape the heat.
There were some messy stones scattered around the edge of the pool, "Seventh brother, what do you think of going to Liyang to attend the Liyang Emperor's birthday banquet this time?" Gao Diyuan sat on a slightly smoother stone and said to a young man with a beautiful complexion.
The man was dressed in a robe like snow, with his eyelids drooping, and his thick and slender eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes, it was the Seven Princes of Gao Di, Gao Di Yi. "This is a great time to test the reaction of the other two countries."
"The only daughter of Emperor Liyang should be seventeen." Gao Di Yuan said, "As soon as I ascended the throne last year, Emperor Liyang sent someone here, faintly revealing the idea of getting married. In his opinion, an alliance with Liyang is up for debate. However, Nanyue's reaction was a little strange.
Nanyue was originally the weakest of the Three Kingdoms, and in recent years, Gao Di and Liyang have made frequent moves, but Nanyue is like a pool of stagnant water, without any fluctuations. Like, I don't care about their movements at all. It's like, it's indifferent. In short, something is wrong.
"Listening to the tone of the imperial brother, it seems that he has some doubts about this matter?" Gao Diyi bowed his head and picked up a small pebble, which was polished and rounded by the water, and felt like a piece of cold jade. The surface is soft, but the heart is extremely cold, and it is really similar to that person.
I don't have any doubts. Gaudi has this strength and this self-confidence to be the master of the world. "Emperor Liyang is becoming more and more cloudy, and there are very few people who trust. Li Yangxi is one of the few people who can affect his emotions, and he is very pampered. β
Gaudi and Liyang temporarily cooperated to get rid of Nanyue, and in the end, they still had to start a war with Liyang. At this time, the marriage between the two countries is equivalent to a paper of cooperation. Once Nanyue is destroyed, there will be no need for this instrument to exist. As the only person who has the warmth and sustenance of Emperor Liyang's father, Liyangxi may not push Liyangxi into the fire pit.
"Isn't there still a county lord in Liyang? It's just a form, as long as you don't lose the face of Emperor Gaudi, you can marry anyone. Further, he would have liked the woman to marry off. If you get married, you can get a little less obstructed, right?
"Seventh brother is talking about the Jiangli County Lord who appeared out of thin air?" As early as when he was in Liyang Kingdom, he had already heard that Emperor Liyang had made the prime minister's daughter the county lord. "In order to win the favor of Emperor Liyang, he pushed his daughter out to die, Hu Lingjian was ruthless enough."
Gao Diyi smiled, how could he become the prime minister and control the government if he was not ruthless enough? Gao Diyi's palms clenched, and the stones were tightly wrapped in his palms, "Brother Huang, it's not easy for Chu Jiang to leave that woman, you don't lose money if you marry her." β
Hearing Gao Diyi say this, Gao Diyuan became interested. "What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know if the imperial brother still remembers the pair of sisters and brothers he met on the barren mountain that day?" Gao Diyi opened his palm, and suddenly held it violently, tighter than before, closer to the flesh and blood.
"It turned out to be her." Gao Diyuan smiled deeply, it turned out to be her.
Gao Diyuan rolled his eyes, and his gaze swept over Gao Diyi's clenched hand. The hands are smaller than those of ordinary men, and they are also more tender than those of ordinary men. Gao Diyuan's smile faded, "Seventh brother, you should still remember what the imperial brother said to you, right?" Some people are beyond your control, and some things are ultimately powerless. β
Gao Diyuan sighed, "The imperial brother promised you, but asked about you." I just hope you can figure it out, don't fall into your own obsession. β
All kinds of soil in the world support all kinds of people in the world. All kinds of people in the world are doing all kinds of things in the world. Everything in the world is planted with all kinds of causes in the world. All the causes in the world lead to all the fruits in the world. All kinds of fruits in the world brew all kinds of wine in the world. There are all kinds of wine in the world, and all kinds of people in the world are drunk.
Thunder, dark clouds, and strong winds are signs of a rainstorm. Pedestrians on the street hurried to their homes. I am afraid that my pace will be slower and I will be poured down by the heavy rain. The rain came quickly, and it was so dark that it was pouring down, and it was not even a quarter of an hour.
Chu Jiangli only had time to hide under the eaves of a family, and he watched as the rain poured down from the sky, and in a short time, it gathered into a stream of water on the bluestone brick street. The rain passed through the eaves and formed a curtain of water in front of Chu Jiangli, blurring her vision. A few strands of hair were wet from the splashing rain and limply clinging to the cheeks. When you close your eyes, you can smell the unique smell of rain falling on the scorching ground, as well as the smell of grass carried by the wind.
The rain dispersed the heat, and Chu Jiangli was very happy. So, I stepped up and rushed into the rain, and suddenly felt very comfortable.
"Girl!" Her arm was grabbed, and an oil-paper umbrella appeared above her head. Going down the handle of the umbrella is a small hand carved from white jade. Look at this face again, it is like a flawless white wall, and it is the purest flower in the world. The dark eyes were crystal clear, and there was no trace of worldly dirt. The two curved eyebrows were like crescent moons, slightly wrinkled.
Ice muscles and jade bones, clean and clear. This is the most beautiful beauty Chu Jiangli has ever seen, so beautiful that both men and women, young and old, will subconsciously rise with a heart of careful care.
"Girl, you have to change your clothes quickly when you get wet, otherwise you will catch the cold. There is a silk village in front of you, so it's better to change your wet clothes first. The woman took Chu Jiangli's wrist and walked forward as she spoke.
Chu Jiangli didn't know how to refuse for the first time, and the woman's clean eyes were really worried and caring, making her feel like facing Chu Beitang. Chu Beitang is young, and he is innocent and pure as a child. And this trait was seen in a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, and Chu Jiangli felt that it was rare in the world.
Chu Jiangli nodded and followed the woman forward.
