Chapter 265: Joy and Sorrow
She lay quietly on the bed, smelling the faint soothing incense burning in the room, and her face turned pale and red. Now that she thinks back to everything from yesterday, it is like a dream, and it can still make her feel palpitations and mixed emotions.
She suddenly fainted in the carriage, and she still doesn't know who robbed her, and she doesn't know what the other party's purpose is. What is the intention?
I only knew that when I woke up, I was protected by the Seventh Prince Qiu Ming in my arms and galloped wildly. Behind them was a group of black-clothed men who were chasing them, and the retinue of the Seven Princes was strangled with those people, and blood was splashed. She only saw it, and her heart was already frightened, so she had to hold on to Qiu Mingzhi's clothes tightly, gritting her teeth tightly, not letting herself look so weak, so helpless, and not letting the tears have a chance to flow out.
Shui Moyin knew that Qiu Mingzhi had been on the battlefield, and he would definitely not like weak and timid people. At that time, Qiu Mingzhi was her only hope and only support.
She couldn't let him leave her alone in that extremely dangerous situation because of disgust. She tried her best to maintain her sanity, and used her mind to create the image of a woman he couldn't give up. However, Qiu Mingzhi was better than she imagined, not only did not abandon her, but also kept her on his chest, rode his horse deep into the forest, and skillfully evaded the pursuit of the enemy.
This was the first time, and she felt that maybe this young man with superb martial arts was not as bad as she imagined, nor was he as indifferent and ruthless as the aristocratic royal family next to her.
They were hiding from the pursuers under the mountain stream, Xu saw the fear in Shui Moyin's heart, and Qiu Mingzhi laughed heartily and chatted with her. He took off his cloak to keep her warm, and he said that in order to prevent the enemy from detecting that it was not advisable to make a fire, he could only catch live fish and eat it raw. In the icy water, he caught two fish, removed the thorns, and sliced them into thin slices like snowflakes on clean leaves, and presented them to her for tasting.
At the beginning, Shui Moyin felt that although these fish fillets were cut very transparently and beautifully, they smelled a faint fishy smell and did not dare to eat them raw.
Qiu Mingzhi ate it in front of her, and provoked her with words: "I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, even afraid of a small fish fillet." I didn't see you crying when I was fighting between the enemy and me, and this king thought that you were resolute by nature, different from those delicate and noble ladies in Longdu City? ”
Xu is these words just poked her mind, Shui Moyin angrily stretched out his fingers and picked up a piece of fish fillet, put it stiffly in his mouth, and swallowed it whole.
Qiu Mingzhi sneered at her with a swallowed fly-like look on her face, shook his head and said: "It's really a tyrannical thing, obviously it is a supreme delicacy, but you have been eaten by the water girl, the taste of bitter medicine." ”
The ink sound was not angry, so I couldn't help but put another piece into my mouth and chewed it slowly. I found that this sashimi was not as unpalatable as I imagined, but a faint sweetness and delicateness, and the taste was not bad. She looked at him for a moment, and when she saw that he was looking at her, she smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness the Seventh, for the fish fillet, which has a unique flavor." ”
When Qiu Mingzhi heard this, he ate and laughed, and his slightly tough face instantly turned into soft lines, making him even more handsome and uncasting, which made people's hearts skip a beat.
"Your Highness the Seventh, where is my maid?" Shui Moyin faintly felt that something was wrong with what she had encountered, and asked with a wistful heart.
Qiu Mingzhi's expression was grim, and he whispered: "This king came out to hunt, and happened to meet your captivity. Your maid has colluded with those men in black, and has been given death by this king. ”
His indifferent words shocked Shui Moyin's heart, Pu Jia was a girl in the house, and she followed her when she was a child, and now she dared to do such a traitorous thing.
Now, fortunately, he met Qiu Mingzhi and rescued him, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I don't know who it is to calculate against her.
Shui Moyin silently recited in his heart: "Fortunately." ”
In a blink of an eye, I thought of all the feelings I had with Qiu Mingzhi, and my heart suddenly felt warm and soft, and I couldn't help but have a flutter on my cheeks. She hurriedly closed her eyes, turned her head to the futon, and slowly fell asleep.
How could the people of the Shui family sit still and wait to be killed, there are many shrewd people. got Qiu Mingzhi's hints, observed the situation of Ink Yin, and her personal maid Pu Jia never followed her back home, so she had eight or nine inseparable guesses and estimates in her heart.
secretly sent people to quietly go to the woods where Shui Moyin and Qiu Mingzhi were attacked to investigate. After getting the news of the return, everyone's hearts were not calm, and they were all speculating about the people behind the scenes, what was the purpose of this desire to be the enemy of their Shui family?
Mufu.
The scenery is quiet and quaint in the "Rong Garden".
Mu Qi sat under the vermilion lacquer corridor, holding a pair of sharp scissors in her hand, and her eyes fiercely cut the plum branches in front of her. She wore a dark purple brocade robe with a matching placket, and embroidered with peony with a graceful posture. The crow's sideburns were meticulously obedient, and a flowing moon bun was combed on the top of her hair, decorated with an ice-blue beaded hairpin, which shook to the ground with her movements, emitting a brilliant light.
The green eyebrows were lightly swept away, and the eyes were like paint, but the face of the stunning Allure was covered with a thin layer of light purple veil, covering the face faintly.
Her brow was full of anger, and under her feet were scattered plum branches that had been cut to pieces, and red plum petals that were scattered like snow all over the ground. Bit by bit, fluttering, red and a little dazzling, such a scene makes people's hearts hairy, a little shocking. The subordinates all found an excuse, avoided it from a distance, and only glanced at this side from a distance, and they all felt that this eldest lady, who was pleasing to the eye in the past, now only made people suddenly panic and tremble, and the two trembled.
Only the personal maid Bai Lu didn't dare to avoid it, and kept standing behind her, trembling at the master's behavior, feeling uneasy.
Bai Lu carefully watched Mu Qi's movements, but her eyes didn't dare to fall directly on her. Today's Mu Qi, what she hates the most is the gaze of others, and it seems that she may be willing to let them, the people who are waiting around her, accompany her to ruin her appearance at any time.
The afterglow of Mu Qi's eyes swept over Bai Lu, revealing her frightened and cautious look, and the corners of her pale pink lips couldn't help but purse a cold smile. How could she not know what they were thinking?
She used to treat them kindly, even if there were maids who made mistakes, they only turned cold, and ordered them to pull people down so that they could be reprimanded and taught, and they would never fall down if they didn't go like now, which made people afraid.
Now that her appearance is damaged, she also knows that her mind is even more elusive, and it is even more difficult to wait.
When did her personality change? It seems that after meeting the guest named Gu Xi, this person's demeanor, talent and appearance not only amazed her eyes, but also touched her heart, at the beginning, she was overjoyed, blindly devoted to him, and even tried to ask her father to let her marry him as his wife. That Gu Shezhi is indeed amazingly talented, and his demeanor is fairy, even in this dragon capital city where he is accustomed to pearls and treasures, there are few people who can be compared with it, even if he is the most free and easy Feng family Jingning, and compared with the most famous Shui family, it is also more than that.
This Gu Shezhi, at that time, not only got the friendship of the eldest brother in the Mu family, but also won the appreciation and respect of his father, and even agreed to her marriage invitation.
Mu Qi frowned slightly, but this Gu Shezhi actually rejected the marriage contract proposed by her father and rejected her infatuation.
At this point, her temperament slowly became different from what she used to be, and she seemed to have a lot more unwillingness and secret hatred, and she became more and more ruthless.
Now, seeing that the five princes have always been in love with her, and they will not marry her, who knows that they have provoked the emperor's anger and been punished, and even more courtiers have hindered it, and this matter has been repeatedly blocked.
She was already depressed in her heart, who knew that on the return journey out of the city Shangxiang, she encountered a bad man's calculation, although her life was fine, but her face was damaged, how cruel it was for a woman! What's more, she was originally a celestial figure, a fairy, and was known as the first beauty in this dragon capital.
Even among these Kyushu, it is also among the four beauties. How many women can afford such an honor, but what is lost now?
How can she not be angry in her heart, how can she not be vicious?
I once wanted not to cling to the imperial power, as long as I had a heart to grow old together, but I couldn't get what I wanted.
Now he wants to climb to the imperial power to retaliate, but he has lost the possibility.
is obviously the supreme glory that he is striving for, but now it has become something that ink music is at his fingertips. She hated the injustice of the sky, and again and again, what she wanted was obviously close at hand, but every time she had to pass by it, all kinds of schemes ended up empty-handed.
There was a tingling pain on her fingers, blood dripping down, Bai Lu was startled, looked at her pierced hand, and hurriedly said, "The slave maid is going to get the gold sore medicine." Then he trotted quickly, as if followed by a man-eating ghostly messy panic.
Mu Qi looked at a drop of blood dripping on the plum branch, red and black, extremely distinct, just like her current world, only dark and blood red.
Outside the garden, a figure gradually approached, and saw Bai Lu wrapping strips of cloth around Mu Qi's hands under the corridor, and couldn't help frowning slightly. The person who came was tall, and the very well-fitting royal blue goose pattern brocade trimmed his figure to be more slender, the belt of the same color tied the thin waist, and a light blue tassel of emerald delicate jade pendant hung on the side, his dress was not only like the convenience of a military general, but also with the elegance and nobility of a son's brother.
This person looks clear and handsome, obviously he should have a warm and introverted temperament, but the smile at the corner of his lips is a little uninhibited and evil.
"What's going on?" He approached and looked at the speaker.
"Second brother." Mu Qi called coldly.
"The slave maid has seen the second son, and the young lady is cutting flowers and branches, and she accidentally hurt her finger." Bai Lu saluted neatly and explained for this.
"Well, you can also cut your fingers by cutting branches, I'm afraid this scissors won't work." Mu Fan stretched out his hand and easily snatched the scissors from Mu Qi's hand, handed it to Bai Lu to hold, and ordered: "Go down and take care of the Yuanmen." If I find anyone who spreads the word of the garden today, he will be the first to send you away. ”
Bai Lu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly bowed down and responded, "Yes, the slaves will send them away." After Mu Fan bowed her head, she hurriedly retreated.
