Chapter 30: Before the Flower and Under the Moon
Xie Mingyu and Shen Qianmo were concerned about the safety of the Xie family, Lu Ziqing was anxious to hunt down the whereabouts of the Wuji Sect, and the group hurriedly bid farewell to Leng Aoshuang.
Before leaving, Shen Qianmo noticed Xie Mingyu's unusual eyes on Leng Aoshuang, and her heart moved, could it be that Xie Mingyu, an older young man, had finally opened up in love?
It's just that he just fell in love with Leng Aoshuang, an iceberg beauty! She sighed inwardly. Thinking of Leng Xiangning's last words to Leng Aoshuang before she died, with her sister's painful lesson, will Leng Aoshuang easily trust men?
She decided to help Xie Mingyu, although the Xie family is a scholarly family, but no one is an official in the court, and there is no constraint by the rules of the court.
So she took advantage of Leng Aoshuang on the way to send them out of the palace, found an opportunity for the two of them to be alone, grabbed her and said: "Miss Leng, I can see that you are a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, I feel that I will fall in love with you, so I will no longer be polite, in the future, I will call you Aoshuang, and you will also call me Qianmo, is it okay?" ”
Leng Aoshuang agreed, she also had a good impression of the calm and wise woman in front of her, a smile bloomed on her cold face, and she nodded and said, "Of course it's good." ”
Shen Qianmo was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she had seen Leng Aoshuang's smile, and she finally realized what it meant to "smile and fall into the city". Xie Mingyu, your vision is really good! Shen Qianmo secretly sighed.
She shook off the cranky thoughts in her heart, calmed down, and asked, "The day before yesterday, at the Ruyi Inn, but you sent someone to inform us of our cousin's whereabouts?" ”
Leng Aoshuang nodded calmly.
"Thank you, and at that time, you blocked your sister's palm for your cousin, but you were seriously injured, this love, the Xie family will definitely pay it back."
Leng Aoshuang said with a slightly unnatural expression: "Qianmo, you don't have to be so polite, I just don't want my sister to make mistakes again and again, and commit murder again." ”
"No matter what, this love, whether it is me or the Xie family, will be remembered in my heart." Shen Qianmo took Leng Aoshuang's hand and said solemnly.
In fact, what Shen Qianmo means is that Leng Aoshuang sacrificed your life to save you, and Xie Mingyu will definitely repay it with her personal promise.
"By the way, last time I saw the Lord of the Cold Palace mistaking my cousin for Tao Zhirui, could it be that my cousin and Tao Zhirui look similar?" Shen Qianmo asked casually.
"No, in fact, there is no similarity between the two of them, it is my sister who is too obsessed to admit her mistake." Leng Aoshuang said that Leng Xiangning's expression darkened. The sudden death of the only relative is a big blow to everyone, and Leng Aoshuang was able to settle the Flower Moon Palace in an orderly manner so quickly, which shows its strength and determination.
"I see." Shen Qianmo didn't know how to comfort her, and both of them fell silent for a while. When parting, Shen Qianmo grabbed Leng Aoshuang's hand and said, "Aoshuang, Sister Ling's death is inseparable from the Wuji Sect, if you have dealt with the affairs of the Flower Moon Palace in a few days, why don't you come to Suzhou to deal with the Wuji Sect with us?" ”
"That's exactly what I mean. The Wuji Sect infiltrated the Flower Moon Palace and assassinated my sister, and I will naturally find them to settle this account. When it came to the Wuji Sect, Leng Aoshuang's face was like ice, and he said hatefully.
Shen Qianmo squinted at Xie Mingyu, saw a faint hint of joy on his face, and said in her heart: Xie Mingyu, under the current situation, I can only help you get here, and it will depend on your creation in the future.
After the group left the Flower Moon Palace, they hurried non-stop, and when they arrived at the Ruyi Inn, it was already late at night. Luzhu and Bi An cried with joy when they saw Shen Qianmo and Xie Mingyu returning safely. It was late at night, and everyone decided to stay at the inn for one night and set off early tomorrow morning.
In the past two days, she has experienced various emergencies in the Flower Moon Palace, and Shen Qianmo also feels a little tired. But the more tired the body, the clearer the brain becomes. Anyway, she couldn't sleep lying down, so she put on a piece of clothing, opened the door and planned to go to the patio to breathe, and by the way, also sort out the clues of the Wuji Sect.
When she came to the patio, she found that she was not the only one who couldn't sleep, Xie Mingyu was also sitting at the stone table, drinking alone in front of the moon.
"Cousin." She whispered, sat down on the stone bench across from him, and said, "But you're worried about the Wuji Sect?" ”
Xie Mingyu also poured a cup for Shen Qianmo, and said worriedly: "The matter of the Wuji Sect is a secret story of the Dasheng Dynasty, and I have only heard about it slightly. When Emperor Taizu overthrew the previous dynasty as a vassal king, and replaced it, when the army entered Kyoto, Emperor Zhaowen of the previous dynasty took a group of princes, princesses and concubines to hang themselves, and only one of the little princes who was still in infancy was rescued by the palace guards and survived.
About 50 years ago, at the beginning of the succession of Emperor Ming Xiao, there was a gang known as the "Wuji Sect" under the slogan of "punishing the rebel thief and recovering the rivers and mountains", attacking cities and seizing land, burning and looting everywhere, and the leader of the Wuji Sect is said to be the little prince, the only bloodline of the previous dynasty. The first emperor was furious and sent troops to suppress it with all his might, and the Wuji Sect disappeared from then on. Unexpectedly, it has resurrected again, and the Xie family has been involved. ”
It turned out to be an anti-government organization! No wonder Dong Runnian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, reacted so strongly when he saw the Wuji tattoo on the dead man's body.
Shen Qianmo thought about it, took a sip of the cup casually, frowned, and said in disbelief: "Cousin, it turns out that you drank wine, I thought you would only drink tea!" ”
"So Mo'er actually underestimated me so much?" Xie Mingyu looked at her slightly distorted expression because of the wine with some amusement, and felt that she seemed to be in a better mood.
"I underestimate what you have to worry about, as long as Miss Aoshuang doesn't underestimate you." Shen Qianmo looked at him and said to him jokingly.
"Okay, even my cousin dares to make fun of me, it seems that I have grown my skills with King Xuan these days, um." Xie Mingyu also teased her politely. Shen Qianmo was rarely so playful, and Xie Mingyu was naturally happy to respond.
"Who is talking ill of this king behind his back?" A deep voice came from behind him, and the corners of Shen Qianmo's mouth twitched, is he Cao Cao?
Meng Yuanheng pushed the wheelchair and appeared in front of the two with a gloomy face. It's so late, this woman is still alone with Xie Mingyu's lonely man and widow, and she is chatting so happily, can he be happy?
Xie Mingyu stood up and saluted Meng Yuanheng, "I've seen King Xuan." ”
Meng Yuanheng only looked at Shen Qianmo, with a handsome face that was dark, as if it was written, "This king is very unhappy."
What's wrong with this guy, his face is so stinky, as if someone owes him tens of thousands of taels and hasn't paid it back.
Shen Qianmo pursed her lips, stood up, and said to Xie Mingyu: "Cousin, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, so rest early." ”
Xie Mingyu nodded, smiled meaningfully at her, and left.
Meng Yuanheng still looked at Shen Qianmo, and his face gradually turned from gloomy to complaining. Shen Qianmo saw that his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was tired, and felt a little distressed in his heart, and said a little helplessly: "Since you are tired, rest early, and I will push you back to the room." ”
In the past two days, he has dragged his legs that have not healed from cold poison, accompanied him through so many things, and saved himself so many times, it is also appropriate to take care of him.
Hearing the concern in her words, Meng Yuanheng's face softened a little. He had already seen that this woman eats soft and not hard, as long as she shows weakness and pityfully in front of her, she will generally not refuse.
He raised his head, looked at her baba, and said, "But I want to stay with Mo'er, can I sit with me for a while?" ”
Shen Qianmo found that she couldn't refuse such a look more and more, so she secretly spit on her and said, "Okay, but not too long, Mr. Situ said that you need to rest more." ”
Shen Qianmo pushed his wheelchair to the side of the stone bench, and he sat down on the stone bench, and the two sat side by side.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the night is like water. Meng Yuanheng looked at the gentle and indifferent woman beside him, couldn't help but raise his hand, and pushed a strand of naughty hair on her sideburns behind his ears, and then unsurprisingly saw a blush rise on her beautiful face, and he smiled contentedly.
The so-called "before the flower and under the moon", probably that's it. If you know each other, you will understand without words. If you are in love, you will pity it if you don't say anything. Being with your beloved, even if it's relatively silent, is intoxicating.
And the man who was peeking in the dark, who dared to covet his woman, his eyes flashed, and he would not give him any chance.
Shen Qianmo felt that she must be too tired, and for Meng Yuanheng's intimate behavior, she actually felt a little heartbeat and her face was hot. When Meng Yuanheng took out a piece of jade pendant and brought it to herself, she came to her senses.
"This is ......" Shen Qianmo looked at the extra jade pendant on her chest at some point, and looked at Meng Yuanheng puzzled.
This is a piece of crystal clear blood jade, small and exquisite, warm to the touch, and it is worth a lot at a glance.
Meng Yuanheng coughed lightly, and his face seemed a little unnatural. "Take it, don't take it down."
"Why did you give me something for no reason? And this jade pendant seems to be very valuable. Shen Qianmo asked.
"This king can send it if he wants, how can there be so many reasons?" Seeing that Shen Qianmo wanted to untie it down and return it to him, his face sank, and he said, "The things that this king gave out will never be taken back, if you don't like it, throw it away." ”
Shen Qianmo was dumbfounded. It's so awkward to give a gift, Meng Yuanheng, you are really enough. Well, since you are rich and capricious, I will not be polite to you.
In the hazy night, Feng Ze was hidden in the darkness on the second floor, looking at the picture of the two people downstairs whispering side by side, his hands were clenched, and various emotions such as pain, regret, and unwillingness in his eyes were surging. He remembered the first time the two met in the alley that day, remembered the smile she smiled at him that day when he jumped on the horse and whipped her home, and she turned into Mo Xin to clear his suspicion. He was so stupid that he didn't even realize that Mo Xin was her. Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and retreated.
