Chapter 194: The Fire Burns Out
Lixia's legs were kneeling for too long and she was unconscious, but she still looked at Qing Ruifan very stubbornly. She didn't know what Qing Ruifan planned to do to her, and she couldn't control it now. She had followed Gu Lingge for so long and knew the meaning of her every move. This man was not as unpredictable as she thought it would be, it was as simple as a blank slate. It is because of this that Lixia feels distressed when she thinks of her now.
It's obvious that he is already a person who escaped, but after he came back, not only did he not change anything, but he also tossed himself even harder, and he got into the current situation, which makes people uncomfortable when he thinks about it.
Qing Ruifan was silent for a while, and asked Lan Yi to take Lixia back to Fenglan Palace, and also said that he wanted to stay alone. Lan Yi also understood that Qing Ruifan was uncomfortable now, so he simply responded yes and took people down.
After sending Lixia back, Lan Yi went back to his residence by the way. Because he wants to serve Qing Ruifan closely, his residence is not far from Yongyuan Palace. When he went back, he was sitting at the table, his expression was unknown, and he only bowed his head when he saw the blue clothes come back, without saying a word.
Lan Yi was a little confused, and only after asking did he know that Gu Lingge had sent a message to Qi Juan. Gu Lingge asked Juan to say to Lan Yi, no matter what Qing Ruifan said or did, don't question it, and pay close attention to the movements of the Nine Princes. The news was a little confusing, but Lan Yi nodded to show that he understood.
"I still can't understand why the queen said she would leave. Obviously, the emperor has already put his heart into it, and everything is only a matter of time, why do you have to give up at this time. The cuckoo stretched out his arms around the langui's lean waist and leaned his head against his warm abdomen, sighing.
In her contact with Gu Lingge, Gu Lingge is not a person who wants everything, such a plain and modest woman, she is about to succeed, and she sees that her relationship with the emperor is getting better step by step. It's too much of a rush to quit now. Although she didn't know what was going on, she was definitely not in the palace.
"Neither of them is honest, they are not honest enough, and they are too calculating." Blue gently wrapped his hand around the cuckoo's neck. He doesn't feel pity, but love has always been a slap that doesn't make a sound, and others can't do anything about it.
"The queen has never said what she wants, so the emperor has always hit a wall, and he will never be able to catch what the mother wants, and he has never made much progress. Alas. "The cuckoo felt that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the arms of the blue coat, and there was no one who had really experienced it, even if he wanted to say it, there was nothing else but emotion.
Two days later, Mu Mansion.
Chu Zhaonan looked at the dressed Hua Lan standing in front of him, and he didn't feel it at all. Not to mention that there is still Qing Jingyao waiting at home, just this person's arrogant and reckless temperament makes him not like it. If he had stood opposite her like this, he might have had the interest in chatting, but not now.
No one was interested in accosting a Gu girl with a blood-dripping cloth bag.
"It's all this time, what is the matter with Miss Hua coming? If it's okay, I won't disturb the girl's rest. Chu Zhaonan held the wine jug in his hand and didn't even look at Hua Lan. Qiang Jiang was beaten by Chang Dong a few days ago, and now he didn't take a break to talk about it, and even asked people to send a letter of surrender to discuss peace. Chang Dong is not a vegetarian either, and he has been busy negotiating contracts for the past two days, saying that he wants to take it back and let Liu Yu praise him. That out of the way.
Hua Lan's face was as usual, looking at this fairy-like man. Under the full moon in the south, his expression is like deep water in a cave, sparkling, the breeze blows through his hair, black as ink, coupled with a cold expression, people can't stop, I can't wait to drown in his gentle jade, and never look back.
"Here you go." Hua Lan walked up to Chu Zhaonan as if no one was around, sat down on the stone table in front of him, and unwrapped the cloth bag, which was a small wine jar. The jar is exquisitely made, and there are even finely carved line totems on the abdomen. If you ignore the overwhelming blood in the jar, this is a beautiful craft.
"What's inside?" Chu Zhaonan struggled for a while, curiosity prevailed, glanced at Hua Lan, and still asked.
"I made my own Gu worm." Hua Lan said indifferently, in Southern Xinjiang, when a Gu girl is born, the people in the family will raise Gu for her, and when she grows up and has the ability to raise Gu by herself, the Gu worm will be transferred to the Gu girl, and she will always collect Gu worms and do her best to cultivate Gu worms into an ideal appearance.
When the Gu girl meets the person she likes, the two talk about marriage, and the Gu girl will hand over the Gu worm she has cultivated to her husband, and the husband will swear not to betray the Gu girl for the rest of his life in front of the common god of all Gu girls, the saint.
Because each Gu girl's preferences are different, the Gu worms raised are also different. This also brought trouble and difficulty to the solution of the Gu girl, and because of this, many people have been subservient to the Gu girl all their lives, and they have been shouted and drunk by the Gu girl, even though there are countless complaints in their hearts, no one dares to say a word.
"I already have a wife room below, and I can't afford to give Miss Hua such a big gift. Please take it back to the girl, and I will say it when I meet my sweetheart in the future. "Chu Zhaonan's most disliked thing in his life is Gu poison. Although he does things to complete tasks on weekdays, he inevitably uses some indiscriminate tricks, but it is not like Gu poison, which is to kill people, and he just doesn't give a happy knife.
"You wood, why don't you understand." Hua Lan was a little annoyed, and she didn't like Chu Zhaonan's rigidity, "I didn't say that you should be reconciled with your wife, nor did I say that you should continue this Gu." Manly husband, it's not normal to have three wives and four concubines. ”
Women in southern Xinjiang have always been informal, and Chu Zhaonan also knows what she has in mind. But "Miss Hua's words are wrong, she has no intention of being a girl, so why does the girl have to separate us husband and wife?" But have you ever heard of 'it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage'? He put down the flask, and said to himself that he would definitely not be able to drink today, so he stood up, and even wanted to pull his legs and leave.
"I don't know what you're stubborn about, now that the capital is so chaotic, your lady may not be able to be alone, what's wrong with you and me living happily here?" Hua Lan pursed her lips and looked at Chu Zhaonan, her face full of anger. The mood swings made her face look very ruddy, and it was a little heart-shaking at first glance. I don't know that in Chu Zhaonan's eyes, he is no different from ordinary people.
"What did you just say?" Chu Zhaonan narrowed his eyes dangerously, and the atmosphere around him instantly became condensed and stalemate. He reached out and pinched Hua Lan's smooth neck directly. The silky touch of his hands did not soften his mood, but made him more irritable. He said in his heart that he hadn't received the news for so long, and the news he sent was also in vain, and it turned out that Hua Lan was making an obstacle.
"I said, what kind of emperor of your family, because of the confrontation with the Emperor of Han and Qin, has been ordered to be grounded, and the Liulizhuang where you used to stay has also been burned clean by the fire, what are you still pretending to be great? It's just a lost dog, a guilty body. If you don't stay here, going back to Beijing will be a dead end. Hua Lan felt that the big hand in her hand was not forced, and she thought that Chu Zhaonan still had affection for her, so she became presumptuous when she spoke.
"Where did you know that?" Chu Zhaonan listened to this person's more and more arrogant words, and he had some bottom in his heart that he had no news about the news he had spread, but he had only not received the news for four or five days, and so many things had happened in the capital. The emperor, who has always cared for and cherished Qing Jingyao, couldn't bear to punish her, but Liulizhuang, where Gu Lingge had been in charge, actually burned people under his nose. What happened in this process?
"Guess what." Hua Lan saw Chu Zhaonan's very angry face, and her heart was even more happy, and even her expression became hideous.
Chu Zhaonan didn't bother with her much, and slashed down with a knife.
The Mu family.
The four families of Yun Mu Fenglu gathered in the Mu Family Martial Arts Hall, and all of them looked solemn and the atmosphere was depressing.
"Why did you burn Liulizhuang?" Lu Nan didn't understand. He once heard Gu Lingge say that Liulizhuang is the foundation and home of all people. Maybe the appearance of Liulizhuang is not good-looking, and the interior decoration is not atmospheric enough, but it provides a home for all people, so that everyone can have a home. Only by gathering people's hearts can we do great things, this Gu Lingge said very clearly.
"It wasn't we who burned it, and when we got the news and rushed over, it was impossible to extinguish it." Mu Er touched Lu Nan's furry head. Of course, he knew what Liulizhuang meant, but from the current point of view, Liulizhuang no longer has the meaning of existence.
"Nannan, even if others don't burn it, we will do it ourselves." Yun Fan looked at Lu Nan, sighed in his heart, and planned to reason with him.
"I know." Lu Nan also understands the truth, he had heard of Liulizhuang when he was in Beicheng, and he also knew that Liulizhuang really needed such a fire, "One is because the people and things that should be transferred in the Zhuangzi have been completed, and there is not much point in keeping them; The second is because the fire gave Liulizhuang a reason to retreat. ”
"Well, Liulizhuang's power has been at its peak for a long time, and it's time to withdraw to reduce the royal jealousy." Yun Fan saw that Lu Nan thought so clearly, and he loved him even more in his heart.
When the fire burns, it burns out, and what you plan to do after that is what you do.
"Oh yes, have you seen Huyue in the last few days?" Feng Yiluo suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Huyue since the night Gu Lingge left. I thought I was going out for something, but I haven't met with them once until now. According to his temperament of being so concerned about Gu Lingge, knowing that Gu Lingge was not there, he didn't ask, which was really a bit abnormal.
"On that day, he walked with the owner of the farm." The corners of Mu Yi's mouth stiffened, and his words were a little unpleasant.
