Chapter 109: Meng's Concubine (1)
Yanling is the nearest town by Huaishui, Yanling Taishou received Yu Zichen's favor in his early years, belongs to Yu Zichen's faction, her wife led the lady in the city to the army to reward the soldiers, and heard that Qing Rang was about to return to Nanxiang, specially made a table of dishes and sent them to the commander's tent.
"This is the young aunt, I heard my lord say, let the concubine learn more from the young aunt. I asked you about your favorite dishes to see if they still have your appetite. Mrs. Taishou's enthusiastic words were exchanged for a cold face, she didn't know where she said something wrong, it was when she was confused that Yu Zichen stepped forward to explain.
"This is a sister, not a cheap one."
This sound of the housekeeper not only made Mrs. Taishou feel a little embarrassed, but also made Xuanyin beside him even more stunned, she wanted to ask, is it really just a housemate?
Huashuo lifted the curtain for Qingrang, and the moment Qingrang walked in, he felt that the atmosphere was a little obedient, and at this time, in order to ease the atmosphere, Mrs. Taishou wanted to find something to say, she had seen Huashuo, and looked at Huashuo's delicate treatment of Qingrang, guessing that maybe the seventh princess also came, and hurriedly came to salute, "See the seventh prince, the seventh princess, the concubine Yanling......"
Qing Rang was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but sneer, and looked at the seventh brother beside him, but he didn't pay attention to the displeased gaze cast by Yu Zichen on the other side.
"Madame excuses me, I think Madam recognized the wrong person, this is my sister-in-law, the young aunt of Young Marshal Yu." But Asus was not displeased, he smiled at Mrs. Taishou, who suddenly felt that she should dig a pit and bury herself, so she hurriedly left the camp for an excuse.
"I didn't expect Taishou to be such a shrewd person, and Madame was a little confused." Qingrang swept the dishes on the table, "Ah, they are all my favorite dishes, where did this come from?" β
Xuanyin stirred her sleeves, she saw Qingrang smiling so briskly, she felt very uncomfortable, raised her hand and wanted to overturn all the dishes on the table, Yu Zichen took a step forward and held her hand and grabbed it tightly, "You eat first." After speaking, he pulled Xuanyin and walked out.
Qing Rang could hear Xuanyin's voice, and the sentence "What is there to say here, I'm afraid she will hear it" made people with a heart ambiguous.
"Your favorite ginger shredded tofu," Hua Shuo pushed a dish in front of him, but Qing Rang had already lost her appetite, she looked back, Xuanyin and Yu Zichen not far away were in a heated conversation, "Brother Qi, what are they arguing about?" β
Huashuo jumped out of the ginger shreds in the dish one by one, she is a picky person, she likes to eat ginger shredded tofu but doesn't want to see a ginger shredded between the tofu, he looked at it repeatedly, and made sure that there was no before saying to her: "Eat it." β
Qing Rang flicked his chopsticks, and a tender yellow fish that slipped through the net was still found, "Even if there is only one, you know, I don't want to eat it." β
Asus he understood her paranoia, he looked back at the man who let a woman cry and make trouble, he hoped he would understand too.
"Young aunt......" Mrs. Taishou walked in with a jar of wine, "I just recognized the wrong person and made a joke, my lord said that he would be able to atone for his sins." Mrs. Taishou put the wine jar in her hand in front of Qing Rang, Qing Rang sniffed his nose, Hua Shuo also sniffed, and the two said in unison: "Pear blossom brew!" β
"Yes, it was specially transported from Linsu, I heard that Young Marshal Yu has always liked to drink pear blossom brew, it must be because of the young aunt."
Qing Rang opened the wine cap, a fresh fragrance reached her nose, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Thank you for taking the trouble too much, I really like pear blossom brew." It's just that she doesn't know when Yu Zichen often drinks this.
"It's good that the young aunt likes it, just now I recognized the young marshal's sister as you, and you as the princess, if it is passed out, it will definitely be laughed at."
"The young marshal's sister?" Asus asked.
"It's another girl here, I thought it was the young aunt, and the young marshal said it was his sister."
Mrs. Taishou said something, and the two people in the room couldn't listen to it anymore, they looked out of the tent together, Xuanyin had gone nowhere, Yu Zichen was walking back here, and Hua Shuo thought that he should have made a choice, which surprised him.
Kiyorang got up to greet him, "Where's your sister?" β
Yu Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Mrs. Taishou, who was still noisy, and probably understood the reason for Qing Rang's coquettishness, "Eat!" β
Qing Rang sat down with him, but he kept staring at him, Yu Zichen's face was already slightly red, he picked up a piece of ginger shredded tofu and put it in her bowl, "It's not that you love to eat, don't take it hot!" β
Hua Shuo wanted to open his mouth to remind the ginger that had not yet been picked out, but seeing that Qing Rang didn't notice that he was eating with relish, he unconsciously smiled bitterly, it turned out that this was what she wanted, not ginger tofu without ginger silk, but Yu Zichen, who belonged to her.
Xuanyin sat by the Huaishui, Qiu Ziliu stood behind her for a long time, he heard Xuanyin's angry roar at Yu Zichen, the sadness of "I'm not your sister", he looked at Yu Zichen's unblinking eyes, knowing that he had tolerated her to the limit.
"It's time for you to wake up, Yu Zichen has already made a choice, Duanmu Qingrang is irreplaceable by thousands of treasures, for him."
Xuanyin shut him up as before, calm and a little surprised, Qiu Ziliu sat beside her and stroked her forehead, "Silly girl, there is no one else in this world except Yu Zichen." β
"Little fourth brother, why is there no home for me in this world, and there is no one who loves me?" She is destined to wander from the beginning of her sensibility, she likes Zichen, because she thinks it is beautiful to stay by Zichen's side, and she will not be like an orphan girl.
"How could it not be?" Qiu Ziliu sighed, "It's just you, you don't want to see it, just accept it." β
"No, it's just not," Xuan Yin stood up suddenly, "I won't be obsessed anymore, even if I compromise and back down, Zichen won't love me." β
"It would be good if you could think like this," Qiu Ziliu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, but ignored Xuanyin's eyes that made hatred and revenge red, "I'm going to the northwest tomorrow, and I'm worried that you'll continue to do foolish things, now that you've figured it out, I'm relieved." β
"What are you doing in the Northwest?"
"Yu Zichen contacted the forces in the northwest and wanted to unite, because Yun Ze's influence was still there, and if he could unite all the forces in the northwest this time, it would be much easier to overthrow Hua Xin'an."
"Then if the union fails, what will happen to Zichen?"
"Naturally, it will be very difficult, although Zichen has been planning for many years, his strength cannot be compared with Hua Xin'an after all."
Xuanyin was silent, his eyes flipped back and forth, revealing a smell of conspiracy, and Qiu Ziliu didn't notice it at all, on the second day after he left, a carrier pigeon flew out from the south of Huaishui and landed in a certain mansion in Beijing, the owner of that mansion had made a deal with her, if she couldn't get Yu Zichen, he could help her destroy it.
In the dark night, Meng Xuanyin stood outside the tent between Qing Rang and Yu Zichen, silently reading in his heart, "What I can't get, no one can think of it, this is what fate owes me, Yu Zichen, I will let you come and beg me to be with you!" β
On the third day after the carriage of the Qing Dynasty let Nanxiang leave Huaishui, a carrier pigeon landed on her carriage, she took off the note on the pigeon's feet, rushed to Xuanyin's carriage at the end of the convoy, lifted the curtain, and Xuanyin stared at her without saying a word.
"Meng Xuanyin, Qiu Ziliu came to me before leaving, asking me to take good care of you, but you are so kind to him!"
"What did you say?" This was the first thing Meng Xuanyin said to Qing Rang in the past few days, and Qing Rang did not give in to her in every way as before, she threw down the curtain of the car, and only said to the guards around her: "Turn around the convoy and go back to the barracks!" β
Qing Rang held the note tightly in his hand, it was from Jingshi, the carrier pigeon was sent to Qing Rang by Huashuo said that the old man gave it to Qing Rang, but he didn't expect that the first news sent was that someone leaked the northwest matter, and it said Be careful Xuanyin.
When Qingrang's convoy rushed back to Yu Zichen, Yu Zichen's desk had already placed an urgent secret notice, the Northwest Incident, and Qiu Ziliu's life and death were uncertain.
Yu Zichen looked at Mi Bao and frowned, and was even more puzzled when he saw Qing Rang who turned back, Qing Rang put the note in front of him, and he only said a step too late.
"How likely is it that Autumn Artesian will survive?"
"As long as he doesn't see the body, he won't die, I believe him." Qiu Ziliu and he have been mixed up for many years, and he will not die because of a few pursuers, but he is worried that once the northwest loses contact, his situation is worrying.
Qing Rang took an empty secret report and wrote on it that the Northwest Incident and Qiu Ziliu died of ten thousand arrows.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm going to teach Meng Xuanyin a lesson, I want her to see her heart!"
Yu Zichen knew what she wanted to sit on, and she didn't stop her.
Qing Rang took the secret security to find Meng Xuanyin directly, and she threw it to Xuanyin, "You colluded with Hua Xin'an, do you want Yu Zichen's life, or Qiu Ziliu's life?" β
Xuanyin looked at the words on the secret guard, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, "Xiao Si won't have an accident, you lied to me!" β
"I lied to you? Do you think Hua Xin'an will let go of the autumn artesian if he knows about the affairs of the Northwest Department? If you don't kill him, will you let him be Zichen's messenger? Meng Xuanyin, are you too naΓ―ve or have no heart at all! β
"No, it won't! Hua Xin'an promised me that he wouldn't hurt Xiao Si, he just tried to find a way to stop Xiao Si and prevent him from meeting with the Northwest Ministry! Xuanyin held the secret protection tightly, her heart was empty, full of things greater than fear.
"You make a deal with an enemy, and you think he's going to listen to you? What is the best block? Isn't it death? β
Xuanyin fell to the ground, "Little Fourth Brother, are you really dead?" She is no stranger to the word death, as soon as she was born, the whole family died, and later the person who escorted them also died, and the person who kindly took them in also died, but she always thought that the little fourth brother was the only one who would not die.
"Meng Xuanyin, if I were you, take ten Yu Zichen, and I would be reluctant to let one autumn artesian!"
Meng Xuanyin sat there, she couldn't understand what Qing Rang said, and she couldn't see the back of Qing Rang turning around and leaving, she was just asking, "Little Fourth Brother, are you really dead?" β
