30. Falling red is not a ruthless thing

The breeze blew the curtain, and from time to time there were one or two warblers' melodious birdsong on the branches outside the window, which made people's hearts very happy.

During the period of recuperation, he also leisurely came to get a needle and thread for nothing, sat sideways on the eaves of the bed, and embroidered and embroidered to make a female red to relieve fatigue.

A pretty figure leaped into the courtyard, so fast that only a corner of the fluttering pink coat was left.

"Sister, Brother Yiwu is sick." This was the first thing Mayuki said to her when she came in.

Yiyou was slightly stunned, a shallow smile froze on his face, and he didn't pay attention to poking the tip of the needle into his fingertips without realizing it, and asked the thoughts in his heart uncontrollably, "How is he?" When he came back to his senses, he said indifferently: "What does he have to do with me?" ”

Zhenxue looked at her in disbelief, and those hurtful words were said without thinking, "Sister, you weren't like this!" You are, you are ......"

Yiyou looked down at the small piece of blood stained by blood, and reached out to flick it. Hearing her words, I lost my mind for a moment, and then asked, "Then what am I like?" ”

"The original sister is very gentle and kind, and she never looks out of the way to people." She took it for granted, but forgot that people change. Yiyu didn't mean to blame her, and she never thought about asking her to know anything, but Mayuki's heart still ached faintly when she said these words.

Yiyou stood up, looked at her eye level, barely supported the almost unbearable smile on his face, and defended: "Zhenxue, my sister is the same as before, it has not changed. ”

Zhenxue's eyes became strange to her, and Zhenxue said, "No, sister." Mayuki shook her head, "You've changed, you've become Mayuki who doesn't dare to admit it." ”

Yiyou hurriedly wanted to pull her hand, but she avoided it quietly.

"Although I don't understand what happened between my sister and Brother Yiwu and Brother Fengyu, I can also see your attitude, sister. You don't care about Brother Fengyu's goodness, and you don't care about Brother Yiwu's heart. ”

"That's not the case, Mayuki." Yiyou had a headache and didn't know how to explain it all to her.

She interrupted Yiyou, "Sister, sometimes Zhenxue really wants to know, sister ............" Speaking of this, she became a little slurred, "Is it really still the gentle and kind sister when I was a child?" ”

Gentle and kind, the four words deeply sting Yiyou. Yiyou was startled, and accidentally swept the tea cup in his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound.

But no matter how flustered Yiyou was, he wouldn't mess up in front of Zhenxue, so he quickly calmed down and feigned anger: "Presumptuous! Mayuki, do you know what the hell you're talking about! ”

Yiyou walked up to her quickly and gave her a slap that was not too light, and a clear five-fingered mountain appeared on her face after this slap, and Yiyou's palms were also numb.

Yiyou knew she shouldn't have hit her. Zhenxue has grown so big, she has always protected Zhenxue behind her, when has she ever given her such grievances.

But at the same time, Yiyou also knew that she had to do it, and she couldn't let all plans go to waste. This slap must be experienced by Zhenxue, and it is better for her to be in pain now than to suffer in the future.

Zhenxue's tears flowed down immediately, and Yiyou's heart, which had finally hardened, softened involuntarily.

Zhenxue choked up and cried, looked at Yiyou in disbelief and said, "Sister, are you beating Zhenxue?" ”

Yiyou gritted his teeth, turned his face away, and said coldly: "I'm teaching you what to say and what not to say, you have grown up, don't always be willful like a child." ”

She turned around and bumped into the helpless green on the side, and didn't care, stumbling and running out crying.

Lu Yi came up to persuade Yiyou, "Master, why are you so unhappy with the little master, she doesn't have the heart to contradict you." ”

How could Yiyou not know about these. But now, it's their best to distance themselves.

Yiyou picked up the needle and thread again and said lightly, "This is my business." Just do your part. ”

She knew that she had exceeded the rules, so she bowed her head to the side and stopped talking.

After a while, Chen Bo's voice came from the door again, and before he could report it, he heard Nangong Chen's laughter outside the courtyard, and he was dressed in dark clothes, looking extremely tall and straight. Behind him was Lu Fengyu, who had not been seen for a few days, and Yiyou's gaze stopped at him for a moment, and then moved away without hesitation.

Xu is feeling the unusual atmosphere in the room, Nangong Chen opened his mouth and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Yiyou?" Why are you so angry, who messed with you? ”

Yiyou put down the needle and thread in his hand, greeted him, and replied with a headache: "It's real snow, she just came." ”

Nangong Chen smiled slightly, "Zhenxue is still young, so you should naturally let more as a sister." ”

Yiyou nodded, "Yiyou understands, I'll talk to her when I get back." Yiyou waved his hand and asked Lu Yi to serve them tea, and said, "Why is my cousin free today?" ”

Nangong Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why aren't you welcome?" ”

Yiyou waved his hand, "How dare Yiyou." ”

Nangong Chen said: "Recently, Kyoto is not complete, so try not to go out if you are usually fine." ”

Yiyou frowned slightly and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Feng Yu, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, said in a low voice: "The five members of the Hu family in Shangshu Province of the Criminal Department were tragically destroyed overnight, and the murderer left a note saying that he would take five more people on the next full moon night, and the emperor handed over the matter to Lord Jingzhao Yin Qin with full powers to investigate. ”

was also puzzled, "Hu family? Although Lord Hu is the secretary of the Criminal Department, he has never had a grudge against others, why did the murderer attack the court officials? "Master Hu has always been fair and strict in handling cases, it shouldn't be the enemy's door, so what could it be?

Neither of them answered, Nangong Chen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and sighed softly, "It seems that there must be a bloody storm in Beijing." ”

Because Fengyu was on the side, it was inconvenient to ask many words, so Yiyou had to nod and remain silent.

Yiyou suddenly remembered what he had promised Shaoyan, and raised his head and said to Nangong Chen: "Cousin, I want to go to the palace." ”

He wondered: "Enter the palace?" What's wrong? He didn't want me to go out at this time, but when he heard that he was going to the palace, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

A faint smile appeared on Yiyou's lips, "It's Princess Shaoyan, I want to help her." "Yes, I wanted to help her, instead, she asked me to help her.

These two things are different in nature, if Yiyou takes the initiative, her cousin can still help her, but if Shao Yan opens her mouth, even if she is reasonable, her cousin will never agree to Yiyou to help her.

He still couldn't hear clearly, "Help her?" How can it help? ”

Yiyou had no choice but to tell him part of her plans and intentions, "Right now, the situation in Nantong and Tomorrow Night, Qiuzi and Loulan are all tense, if we get Loulan's help, we will also have more help, right?" ”

As Yiyou expected, he did not agree with Yiyou's decision very much, but persuaded Yiyou not to get involved with other countries.

He said with a serious face, "Yiyou, have you ever thought about the consequences of your doing this?" Shaoyan is just a friendly princess, she can't represent Loulan's position, she is just a victim of politics, and if you help her, you will be in danger. ”

I don't know, but she doesn't have a choice, and it is possible to get unexpected results by taking risks.

Yiyou insisted on going his own way, "I understand. But now that I've decided, I'm not going to change it. ”

Nangong Chen looked at Yiyou, but didn't say anything after all. After drinking tea, he got up and left, "You can see for yourself this matter, I will not interfere with your decision." ”

Yiyou knew that he was unhappy, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Yiyou had to walk this road alone to the end.

Feng Yu was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you go so hard for a Loulan." ”

Yiyou sneered coldly in his heart: If it weren't for you, why would I be so tired. But he said, "Then what do you think I should do?" Her fate is also my fate, and Qiuzi may ask the emperor for peace during this time, and I have no choice. ”

There was a hint of pity in his eyes, "You can marry." ”

Yiyou said with a smile: "Marriage? Who do you think the emperor will marry my dignified Princess Changning? ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yiyou said again: "What the third brother said is right, women are originally victims of politics, all dynasties, without exception. ”

"Guogong, Concubine Lu Guifei came out today, and the news that the princess and Lord Ren did not return overnight was suppressed, and the emperor did not know it for the time being." As soon as the lizard got the news from the palace, he immediately came to report it, not daring to delay for a moment.

Lu Fangyuan didn't look at him, and said "um" in response. Seeing that he was still there and had no intention of leaving, Lu Fangyuan frowned and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

The lizard got the answer, and then said, "Guogong, there is also news from the noble concubine Niangniang about General Lu. The lizard said, looking up to observe Lu Fangyuan's expression.

Lu Fangyuan paused to hold the tea, and then said, "Go on." ”

"The concubine said that General Lu's family seemed to have survived a child back then."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Fangyuan showed a look of relief, since the eldest brother still has descendants to survive, maybe this child is the key to opening the gate of the Eternal Night Treasure Mountain.

At that time, his eldest brother Lu Fanggong was a general of Yasukuni, and he also made his mark in the imperial court, and the Lu family at that time was infinitely glorious. The Lu family, as the minister of the southern prime minister, is the emperor's confidant, and he is very respected by the emperor.

Later, the eldest brother was suddenly secretly sent out by the emperor, nominally to clean up bandits, but in fact he was secretly doing something shady for the emperor.

That's right, the eldest brother was sent by the emperor to find the whereabouts of the eternal night relic. As soon as he came, the emperor's heart was unpredictable, and the emperor was afraid that the Lu family would be overpowered, so he took the opportunity to transfer Lu Fanggong out of the capital. Second, he really wanted the treasures. This plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But later, Lu Fanggong unsurprisingly found the cave at the foot of Yin Mountain. But Lu Fanggong was selfish and wanted to swallow this treasure by himself.

So he secretly suppressed the news and did not report it to the court. While delaying time, he sent people to cultivate the secret path. Bypass the door of the cave with heavy traps and enter from the side instead.

Originally, his plan was lost, but unfortunately, the Mo family didn't know how to learn the news, and went to the palace to report to the emperor on the same day, and the emperor sent 100,000 people to help Lu Fanggong suppress the bandits, and secretly ordered Lu Fanggong to be brought back, no matter whether he lived or died, he had to see people.
