Chapter 22: The Past and the Beauty (2)
There are very few people in this world who dare to call Emperor Nanxi "Emperor Tongsheng", except for Emperor Beixi, who is on an equal footing with him, I am afraid that only the master of the Marquis Mansion and the head of the Yun family dare to call him so.
The Nanxi monarch Nie was a relative who usurped power and split half of the territory of the Daxi Dynasty. But even though this continent has been divided for nearly a hundred years, there are still many people who regard themselves as the old people of Daxi. People in the world may not necessarily recognize the new monarchs of the north and south, but the Lixin Marquis Mansion, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, is not underestimated.
The Yun family not only has the most noble blood flowing in its body, but also the "No. 1 giant" who pinched the economic lifeline of the world, and the promise of "sharing the country" left by the founding emperor of the Daxi Dynasty. Whether it is Beixi or Nanxi, the Yun family is inseparable from it, and it can be said that it is a country built side by side with the ancestors of the two countries.
As long as you think of the relationship between the Yun clan and the Daxi royal family, just this deep-rooted love of the same qi and branches for hundreds of years, no one in the world dares to slack off.
Now Beixi and Nanxi are not the most orthodox Daxi bloodline, and the country after the split is not very stable. If the Yun clan wants to win this splendid river and mountain, I am afraid that everyone in the world will gather to respond!
Because of this, the Yun clan has a pivotal position in both the north and the south, and it is also the object of competition between the two countries. But for hundreds of years, the Yun family has been adhering to the ancestral teachings, bearing the false name of "leaving the letter of the marquis", and staying away from the temple with all his heart in business.
Such a wise move to protect one's life made it impossible for the emperors of the two countries to start. In public and private, they could only look at it, and they didn't dare to provoke the Yun family to make a mistake. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face of the ancestors and ancestors, and it would be a gift of the Yun family's huge wealth and fame to another country.
In the current situation of division and confrontation between the north and the south, in a word: those who get the Yun clan unify the world.
With such fame and wealth, even the emperor of the dynasty is difficult to match.
At this point, Ming Huang finally woke up from Yun Ci's words, and asked honestly and fearfully, "Are you His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
As everyone knows, it has been two years since the death of the Marquis of Xin, and all matters in the mansion are decided by the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou, and only wait until the prince Yun resigns from the weak crown and inherits the title.
But this Yun Shizi in front of him is by no means a mere Wenchang Hou Shizi who can sit on an equal footing. It must be known that the three words "Lixin Hou" have stood in Daxi for hundreds of years, and the princes of the two countries after the division of the north and the south naturally cannot speak the same thing.
Hearing Mingxuan's words, Yun Ci didn't reply, only glanced at him lightly, and said to Zhuying: "Send off." Yan Yu had already turned around and slowly and step by step towards the East Garden.
Even though Ming Huang is used to being domineering in Jingzhou City, after all, he is the second son of the right minister, and he also knows what it means to be "self-immeasurable". If the Ming clan really offended the Yun clan, the current saint has his own trade-offs to curry favor with the Lixin Hou Mansion. Ming Huang is convinced of this.
Thinking of this, Ming Huang had long lost his arrogance, and hurriedly apologized to Zhuying and lightly, and took the tea and tea with him and was a little high-minded. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly returned to the Ming Mansion to report the matter to his father Ming Cheng.
Danxin and Zhuying saw that everyone in the Ming Mansion was leaving, so they left the tea trail and returned to the East Garden. Before leaving, her indifferent eyes lingered on Cha Cha, as if she was warning her something, and she was gloating about something.
Cha Cha sat down on the ground in fright.
*****
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhuying and Danxin almost rushed to Yun Ci's side, supporting him left and right.
At this time, Yun Ci already had cold sweat on his face, his lips were pale, and the pain that he had endured for a long time was finally revealed.
"Master......" called in a low voice, already so distressed that he couldn't speak.
Zhuying's face was also dark, and he didn't say a word.
Yun Ci didn't hear the reaction of the two loyal servants, and only whispered: "The wheelchair is placed under the verandah, push me back to the study." ”
"Master! You're all like this, what are you going to do in the study! The slave and maid will help you back to rest. He choked up.
"It doesn't matter." Yun Ci didn't explain much, and the firmness in that sentence made it impossible for Danxin and Zhuying to persuade him. The two of them could only help Yun Ci to sit back in the wheelchair and push him into the study.
"Where's Izuku?" Yun Ci saw that the room was empty, and immediately frowned and asked.
Originally, Danxin and Zhuying didn't understand why the master insisted on coming back, but when they heard this sentence at this moment, they already understood. The master is relieved not to go out of Xiu.
I couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but I didn't want to say anything, so I just said: "Maybe she is in the side hall, and the slave will look for it." As he spoke, he trotted to the side hall.
After a while, he returned calmly and shook his head a little uneasily: "The whole study has been searched, but there is no Xiu." ”
Can't find it? Yun Ci's face turned even paler, and his eyebrows had turned into mountains and rivers, which also revealed his endless worries.
Bamboo Shadow has been by Yun Ci's side since he was a child, and it has been more than fifteen years so far. In his heart, the master has always been generous to his subordinates, and there is no lack of concern about food and clothing. But no matter how much you care, you are always light, not angry or enthusiastic, and only teach people to be grateful.
However, facing this mute girl who had known each other for only three months, Bamboo Shadow felt that the master had changed. But what has changed, he can't say.
Teaching people to read and write, out of Xiu is not the first; For the diagnosis and treatment of injuries for subordinates, Chuxiu is not the first; Supporting the next person, Izuku is not the first.
But something was wrong, as if the master had taken too much care of the mute girl. Just like on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master would personally hold her hand and correct her writing; And today, the master did not hesitate to endure his leg disease to come to her, and he was so anxious to see her missing.
Where is this what a shallow and detached Hou Shizi would do? But the master did it to a mute girl, and three or four times.
Thinking of this, Zhuying couldn't hold back her resentment, and said to Yun Ci with some negative anger: "Miss Xiu is such a big person, she won't run away." You rest first, and your subordinates and Danxin go to her. ”
When Yun Ci heard this, his face became more and more heavy, and he said in a low voice: "I told her to wait for me in the study." Now that she is gone, it is obvious that someone is behind Huang Finch. ”
As soon as these words came out, the three of them remembered a disturbance in Fang Caiming's mansion. Could it be that he fell for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain? Could it be that the Ming Mansion led everyone to the gate of Dongyuan on the face, but secretly sent someone to kidnap Xiu?
The more the three of them thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible, but did the Ming Mansion have such courage? The masters have clearly revealed their identities, and they still dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? For a moment, the bamboo shadow and the light heart looked at each other.
At this moment, Yun Ci suddenly ordered: "Prepare a car for me to enter the palace to see Emperor Tongsheng." His voice was cold and unquestionable, making people shudder in this early autumn day.
"Master!" Bamboo Shadow and Danxin stopped in unison.
"You came to Jingzhou with a hidden identity, why did you burden your own body for a dumb girl?" There was already some anxiety in Zhuying's words.
At the same time, he also persuaded lightly: "It's better to wait, and let Zhuying go to the Ming Mansion to investigate the situation first." Although the second young man of Ming does not know the severity, the family of the Ming Mansion will definitely give you an explanation. ”
……
Rao is two loyal subordinates around him repeatedly persuaded each other, but Yun Ci was still unmoved: "Izumi said that she is not from the Ming Mansion. Now that he has been taken away in private, I don't know what Ming Fu'an's intentions are. Now that Zifeng is not here, there is no longer any delay. ”
Saying that, he couldn't care about the disease of his legs, and ordered again: "Zhuying went to prepare the car and changed my clothes indifferently." ”
The two of them knew Yunci's temper, and they didn't dare to persuade them anymore. Zhu Ying was angry, and he couldn't disobey his master's order, so he reluctantly turned around and went out to prepare the car.
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as one foot stepped out of the threshold, the bamboo shadow bumped into a person head-on. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and a piece of warmth splashed on the placket.
It's the beginning of Han! She was entering the door with a medicine cup, but unfortunately collided with the bamboo shadow, and the medicine juice spilled out.
When Han Chu saw this, he leaned over again and again to apologize. Zhu Ying looked at the decoction splashed on his clothes, and he didn't know whether to be annoyed or happy, so he hurriedly gathered his feet and returned to the house, and said to Yun Qi excitedly: "Master! The girl is here! ”
Han Chu's reaction to Bamboo Shadow was still puzzled. As soon as she entered the room, she felt two eyes fall on her: one from a light heart, with half joy and half resentment, and a little resentment;
The other comes from the clouds, the eyes are plain and waveless, but deep and far-reaching, as if it is the sea containing endless waves, which seems to be calm and calm, but in fact it is deep and hidden waves.
Han Chu saw the expressions of the two in his eyes, puzzled and even more at a loss. She hurriedly took out a finger and pointed to the medicine cup on the tray, indicating that she had just gone to boil the medicine.
"Out of Xiu! Next time you leave, can you say it first? Danxin finally couldn't help it, and blurted out a complaint.
Yun Ci still looked at Han Chu, silent.
Han Chu heard the indifferent words, and saw that Yun Ci had been silent, and thought that they were angry because of the trouble in the Ming Mansion, and he couldn't help but feel extremely guilty. She smiled apologetically, then lowered her eyes and bit her lip, quiet as a plant.
Danxin has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, seeing that Yun Ci didn't lose his temper, and he didn't want to go too far, he snorted lightly: "Not being able to speak has become an advantage!" ”
Han Chu buried his head lower, unable to hide his self-blame and guilt.
The room suddenly fell silent again, only the sound of her calm and fluctuating breathing revealed her anger and forbearance at the moment.
After a while, Yun Ci broke the atmosphere and said lightly: "Izuku serves here, you two go down." ”
"Master, your legs ......" Takekage looked worried.
"Didn't you bring the medicine?" Although the words of Yun Ci are light, they cannot be disobeyed.
Seeing this, he glanced at Bamboo Shadow at the right time, pulled his sleeve and said, "The slave and the Bamboo Shadow will retire first." ”
After finishing speaking, the two of them had already retreated, and they did not forget to cover the door of the house.
Han Chu remembered that he still had medicine in his hand, so he hurriedly put the medicine cup on the small case, put a bowl in front of Yun Ci, and asked silently.
Yun Ci's face was still pale, but his expression was getting better. He glanced down at the potion and asked, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to leave the study?" ”
Han Chu was silent and bowed his head to admit his mistake. Fang Caiyun insisted on walking to the door of Dongyuan, she was worried that his legs were in unbearable pain, and she happened to see the medicinal materials sent from the treasury, so she took it upon herself to boil the medicine, thinking that she could relieve his pain as soon as possible.
At this moment of guilt, Yun Ci had already taken the medicine bowl from her hand and said to himself: "For the sake of you to boil medicine......
Before he finished speaking, Yun Ci had already drunk the medicine bowl. When he put down the empty bowl again, he couldn't see anything strange on his face, only looked at the silent girl.
Han Chu still stood respectfully. She thought she would be reprimanded or questioned, but nothing happened.
After a while, Yun Yu's shallow voice sounded again, and the words made Han Chu extremely relieved: "In the future, you don't have to be afraid of the Ming Mansion or others." ”
He sat in a wheelchair, his posture was solemn, but his face was slightly regretful: "Today, my identity has been exposed, and I can't stay in Jingzhou for a long time." I'm leaving. ”
