176: Beauty
Chinese For Yu Nanzhao, the farthest distance between her and Shen Rugu is not life and death, but that he forgot everything about them, but she remembered them all...... After the silence, fearing that he would be accidentally scratched by the broken bowl, she crouched down and picked up the pieces and took them outside the house to collect them.
Shen Rugu looked at her from the side, but wanted to see what she was going to do, and at the end, she came back and whispered to him
"Don't say you're dead in the future, you don't want to see me...... I'll try not to let you see it in the future, don't be angry! "In the past day, Shen Ru can't remember how many times she said, 'Don't be angry', anyway, when he heard it, he became even more angry, waving his hand and urging
"Then you go, get out, get out!" Nan Zhao came out obediently, but she was afraid that he would be hungry, so she hurriedly went to find the maid in the house and sent him snacks and fruits to eat
"How's it going, did he eat it?" The maid nodded, puzzled by her
"Why is Madame standing here?" She replied with a smile
"Something, I...... I'm going to do it! β
"That's right!" The maid also got acquainted, so she didn't ask any more questions, and went down to work on her own! She walked around the courtyard alone a few times, looking into the room from time to time, always looking forward to Shen Ru's old anger and coming out to look for her, but she looked like this ten times, and the door was closed!
Perhaps, he fell asleep! When you wake up, you might remember me! Thinking like this, she walked aimlessly in the courtyard, and suddenly saw a messenger from outside the house, and hurriedly went to the side where her ninth brother lived, it seemed that something had happened, Nan Zhao didn't think much about it, and followed to take a look!
As soon as the person entered the courtyard gate, he heard the errand officer ask Zhou Yang
"Then the prince, do you want to ask Mrs. Shen to take a look at this matter?" Zhou Yang didn't think too much about it, and immediately refused
"Nan Zhao's body hasn't recovered recently, if it's really urgent over there, go to the Yunzhou military camp and ask Daoist Lu!" When Nan Zhao heard this, the person had already stepped into the outer room!
"Nanzhao?" Zhou Yang immediately discovered her, and then dismissed the messenger, and asked in a calm tone that usually spoke to her
"Why are you here at this time?" She explained
"I happened to be passing by, and I heard the squire talking, so I came in and asked, what is the matter?" Knowing that she heard everything, Zhou Yang did not deliberately conceal it, so he spoke briefly
"There was a bit of chaos in the state capital last night, it seems unusual, so the state capital sent someone to invite you over." He added
"The state capital and the assassin Shi are quite close to the prince coming in, and if something happens, he won't look for the prince, and he will go to the Guogong Mansion to name you and ask you to come over, Brother Jiu thinks it's inappropriate, so he helped you push it!" But he later said, it's really not good, looking for Lu Donglai, first, there is really something, Nan Zhao can solve it, Lu Donglai can also do it, and the second is that if there is any mess in this, Lu Donglai is an idle Taoist priest, but it has nothing to do with it, Nan Zhao is different, everyone knows that Nan Zhao is his sister-in-law, if she comes forward to fall into the hands of others, the last person to be implicated must be Zhou Yang!
Nan Zhao immediately understood the power of it, so he didn't ask more! The only thing I am worried about is that what happens in the state capital should not be too serious, and it will affect the door of life and death.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Yang sent someone to find out what happened in the state capital! Although Shen Rugu didn't want to see her, she still didn't dare to leave for too long, and after speaking, she went back not long after!
But as soon as I pushed the door open, I only saw the empty room, and Shen Ru was gone! She ran out in a panic and asked the maids who were cleaning outside, and everyone said that they didn't see where Shen Ru went, and they all thought he was in the house.
There are a lot of maids cleaning outside, so a big living person, just went out like this, how could no one see it?
This incident immediately alarmed Zhou Yang, and he immediately sent people to the whole house to look for people, and finally heard from a small guy at the east gate that Shen Ru went out with a burden not long ago, alone.
Carrying a burden! Nan Zhao didn't go to check the items in the room just now, but now that he thinks about it, it really seems that it has been passive, and it must have been messed up by Shen Ru who collected the things he wanted to take away.
"Why don't you stop it?" Nan Zhao was very anxious. The little guy was also embarrassed and replied
"I wanted to go to report, but the prince was seeing a guest at the time, so he delayed it...... "She didn't finish listening, she got on the horse and prepared to go out to find it!"
Shen Rugu didn't have most of his previous memories, what he had was that he had been sick for the past eighteen years, and he hadn't even been out of Qingzhou, where could he go with his burden?
She's not just worried about this, if he was just an ordinary person, when he was still alive, she put two spirit flower spirits in his body, and now he is completely unable to control those two spirit spirits, walking outside alone, how many evil spirits must be remembered?
Zhou Yang saw her leave the house and immediately rode a horse to follow.
"Nan Zhao, Brother Jiu will go with you to find it!" She didn't refuse, on the contrary, she asked him to pass on the news, Shen Ruzhi left alone, even if she was not afraid of ghosts, she was also afraid of people who were worried about it, and she must not leak the news!
Zhou Yang is such a careful person, how can he not think of this layer? I have already ordered it to go down! Before Nan Zhao went out, he made a divination, and the hexagram said that he went out and went east!
Guogong Mansion goes out to the east is the downtown of Yunzhou City, close to noon, the street is more lively, the traffic is busy, people come and go, several of them ride horses through the streets and alleys, and they have not found Shen Ruguo's figure!
Nan Zhao was so anxious that Zhou Yang comforted him
"Shen Rugu just has no memory, and he is not stupid, he won't go to any dangerous places, he probably feels bored in the Guogong Mansion and wants to go out for a walk alone!" How could she not know the reason, the current Shen Ru refused to admit that she was his wife at all, he should have planned to leave last night, and guessed that Nan Zhao would not let him leave, so he deliberately scolded her away in the morning, and then took the opportunity to pack up his baggage and leave!
It's like escaping hell...... Nan Zhao really didn't expect that in just one day, he would be able to dislike her like this, even more terrible than treating a stranger.
She was really scared, if Shen Rugu couldn't remember what they had done for the rest of his life, then would he be tired of her like this for the rest of his life?
After searching on the street for a whole morning, when it was time for lunch, the flow of people on the street began to decrease, and the smell of someone's vegetables wafted around the street, Nan Zhao didn't even find the shadow of Shen Ru, so naturally he didn't have an appetite at all!
She stood at a crossroads, her face was even more red and swollen from the afternoon sun, Zhou Yang took an oil-paper umbrella from her subordinates to help her cover the sun above her head, she glanced at him lightly, and said abruptly
"Brother Jiu, actually, if I were him, I would have chosen to escape!" She should have thought that Shen Rugu would escape!
Just like the day after she married into the Shen family, she immediately packed her bags and fled. Because in her cognition at that time, Shen Ru was a ghost and wanted to harm people, and if she wanted to live, she had to flee immediately, and escape far away.
And now Shen Rugu, the reasons why he wants to escape are not only these. Nan Zhao said
"What he wants is a talented and beautiful wife, a good family background, and a virtuous wife, and I, who can't even cook a bowl of noodles, when I wake up, it must be a terrible thing to be married to someone like me!" Zhou Yang didn't like to listen to her arrogant words, so he told her in a serious tone
"What you said, whether it is talent or family background, in this world, it is not difficult to find, only Brother Jiu knows that the most difficult thing to find in this world, but what is irreplaceable-" When she heard this, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, as if she had personally witnessed the wind and frost that Zhou Yang had experienced in Kyushu in the past eight years, in search of the rumored spirit girl.
She was very moved, but she was bitter. A long time ago, it was Shen Rugu who taught her how to distinguish between right and wrong, how to move forward in adversity, and it was also Shen Rugu who made her feel the warmth of home for the first time.
She thought that all this would continue, but why couldn't the friendship that had spanned the past life and the present life be worth a passing between life and death?
"Master!!" At this time, Xunlong hurried over from the front on horseback, and he was sent out by Zhou Yang to collect traces of Shen Rugu!
As soon as he saw him come back, Nan Zhao's face changed, and his intuition told him that there was news of Shen Ru's death!
"Say." Looking for the dragon and dismounting
"The spies report that the person suspected of being Young Master Shen is in Chaohua Tower at the moment!" They all know that Chaohua Building is the same name as Yongle Fang's Yunzhou Art Institute, since Yongle Fang became a ruin, this Chaohua Building is becoming more and more prosperous, and it has also received a lot of artists from Yongle Fang.
"Then since there is news, go immediately!" Zhou Yang said. Xunlong replied with some hesitation
"The crown princess's concubine Liji is holding a banquet in Chaohua Tower today!" As soon as they heard the crown prince and Liji, Nan Zhao and Zhou Yang's expressions changed.
How many times did Li Ji think that Nan Zhao had died without success, how could it be such a coincidence that Shen Ru appeared at the place where she set up a banquet.
But in any case, they had to find Shen Rugu first, they didn't stop long, and rode to Chaohua Tower.
Liji has been in Yunzhou for more than a month, and her fame has already spread in the city, the cold beauty, the prince's favorite woman, and the wives of all dignitaries and nobles want to have a relationship with her, so such banquets are almost every day, looking for joy and music day and night.
From a long distance, you can hear the laughter of the guests intertwined with the sound of the piano in the Chaohua Pavilion, which is very pleasant.
Nan Zhao got off the horse first, walked to the gate, and was stopped by several janitors.
"There are nobles up there to set up a banquet, and if you don't have an invitation, you won't enter, this girl, don't go inside!" Nan Zhao stood outside the door, stepped on his feet to look inside, and then asked anxiously
"Is there ever a son surnamed Shen on it?" The little girl looked at her in ordinary clothes, and her face was as ugly as disfigurement, so she didn't want to see her much
"There are a lot of guests above, how do I know which surname is Shen." Zhou Yang dismounted from behind, and at this moment he came over with a humble demeanor and said to the little guy with a cold face
"Go up and report it." That little guy is a person from Chaohualou, there are many characters in the city recently, and they have seen a lot, but this one is not simple at first glance, he looked at the guards and others who followed Zhou Yang, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed his head and asked respectfully
"Excuse meβ" Xunlong told him fiercely behind him
"His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an!" The little guy's head was buried lower, and he hurriedly turned around and ran in to report it! It didn't take long for a maid from Liji's side to come and invite her.
Nan Zhao followed Zhou Yang into the Chaohua Building, which was almost as arranged as the last Yongle Fang, with pink curtains floating everywhere, several tables on both sides, guests sitting on both sides, and a circular carpet in the middle, at this moment there was an exotic woman on it, twisting the waist of the water snake with the sound of drums.
Liggie sat on top, leaning on a chair, dressed in a water-red gauze dress, taking advantage of her snow-white skin and more beautiful facial features.
Nan Zhao swept over the crowd at the banquet, but did not find Shen Ru's figure, and he didn't know if it was a spy who made a mistake, for fear that he had missed it, and his eyes kept wandering between them.
"It seems that this peerless beauty from Persia is really attractive, and even His Royal Highness the King of Tai'an, who has never been close to women, also came here." With that said, Liki had a scornful smile on her face that had given them an uninvited smile.
Zhou Yang didn't go around the bend and told her directly
"Excuse me, Yaxing, this king is here to find someone." I don't know if Liji really doesn't know, or if she doesn't know, she said leisurely
"Look, the prince is still interested in the peerless beauty from Persia." The beauty in the center of the stage did not stop dancing, and in the music, she came to Zhou Yang, who was standing not far away, with bare feet enchanting, and her eyes conveyed the pulse of enthusiasm.
And Zhou Yang was as plain as no one in front of him, clearly indicating his intentions
"The side concubine must have misunderstood, what this king is looking for is not this peerless beauty from Persia, but Shen Gongzi!" When Liji heard this, she was not very curious, she raised her eyebrows, stirred a glass of wine in her hand, and asked
"Shen Gongzi? Which Shen Gongzi? Zhou Yang replied
"The husband of this king's sister, Shen Ru, the side concubine has seen it." The reason why he dared to ask Li Ji directly was because the spies had confirmed that Shen Ru was indeed here.
It's just that Liji deliberately played sloppy with him and wanted Nanzhao to be anxious, and he was prompted so clearly at the moment, Liji didn't want to pretend to be stupid, and suddenly realized
"Oh-that Shen Gongzi, I have indeed seen it, but not here at the moment?"
"And where is he?" Liji smiled with a hint of charm and patiently explained to her
"When the concubine came to Chaohua Tower, she met Shen Gongzi and invited him to the banquet together, but she didn't expect that Shen Gongzi changed his previous cold attitude and gladly accepted it, he just had a good time with the beauties at the banquet, but he accidentally spilled the wine on the robe, and the concubine ordered someone to take him to the back to change clean clothes!"
"Where?" Nan Zhao hurriedly asked. Liggie saw that she was impatient, but she didn't answer, and asked her curiously
"I saw that Mrs. Shen and Shen Gongzi had a very good relationship before, and they were inseparable, why did you change Shen Gongzi to wander on the street alone today?" She replied respectfully
"My husband felt that he was bored from staying in the house all day, so he came out to breathe, and asked the concubine to tell him where he was at the moment, so that he could look for him." Originally, there was a group of singing and laughter at the banquet, but suddenly a King Tai'an broke the intoxicating atmosphere of the reason, so the guests at the banquet were all very curious about this rich man of Shen Gongzi.
They are close to Liji, and they naturally know that the prince and the king of Tai'an are inseparable, and the celebrity Liji they hold has mentioned many times that the king of Tai'an has a righteous sister who knows witchcraft.
And this righteous sister is not a patient, it is the spirit girl Nanzhao who caught a monster in Yongle Fang not long ago. The monster killed many people overnight, and even razed Yongle Fang to ruins, you can know how powerful this demon is, and the person who can take care of this monster, even if it is not a three-headed and six-armed monster, it should not be the appearance of an ordinary woman.
There are many rumors about the portrayal of Nan Zhao, some say that although she is a daughter, she looks as stout as a man and is murderous, otherwise, how can she suppress the demonic spirit that spreads all over the sky?
It is also said that she is actually a demon, she looks very beautiful and moving, and at the banquet just now, they were fortunate to meet Shen Gongzi, the husband of this legendary spirit girl, these dignitaries and noblewomen were all impressed by Shen Gongzi's peerless appearance, thinking that the woman he married should be more beautiful than Shen Gongzi, so everyone is more inclined to the latter kind of appearance of Nan Zhao, but what they didn't expect was that when Li Ji asked why he didn't come with his wife, he looked melancholy.
Everyone didn't know where his melancholy came from, but when he saw Mrs. Shen at this moment, everything was not difficult to guess! During the banquet, several ladies whispered to each other
"It turns out that this Mrs. Shen looks like this!"
"I really wronged Shen Gongzi's peerless ......" Nan Zhao should not have heard it, but his voice was piercing.
However, she didn't bother with it, and was still waiting for Liji to tell her Shen Rugu's whereabouts. Liji didn't want to delay repeatedly, so she asked the maid to lead her to the place behind the Chaohua Building that was used to change the artists' clothes.
As soon as she left, Xunlong strode in and whispered something in Zhou Yang's ear, Zhou Yang's face changed greatly, and then hurriedly walked out of Chaohua Tower.
Liji naturally saw it, she smiled deeply, picked up the wine in the glass and took a sip. Nan Zhao was led by the maid to a wing room in the backyard, and the maid was inconvenient to enter again, so she only told her
"Shen Gongzi has wine on his body, he should change his clothes inside at this moment!" She answered, strode over, pushed open the door, and smelled a strange fragrance in the room, and she immediately became vigilant, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and trying to breathe in as little as possible.
Then, she heard a woman's laughter in the room, and her brows tightened. In fact, before she came, she had already been mentally prepared, because the reaction of Na Liji at the banquet guessed that the woman hated her to the core, and the reason why she invited Shen Rugu to come to the banquet was to explore the truth of Shen Ru's amnesia, and to humiliate her, of course, she couldn't miss it.
What was Liji born in, isn't she also a geisha, she is the most good at using women to act, and at the banquet, she naturally sent someone to serve Shen Rusu.
However, Nan Zhao's husband, now Shen Ru, is a son who doesn't know the sinister hearts of people, and he doesn't know that the prince and the king of Tai'an are fighting, he found a lot of silver tickets in the burden in the room in the morning, those were originally Shen Rugu, but before Shen Rugu left last time, all of them were left to Nanzhao.
Nan Zhao basically couldn't spend it, so he put it in the bedroom where he lived, Shen Rugu wanted to leave the Guogong Mansion, stay away from Nan Zhao, and go to the chic life he had never lived when he was sick in bed before, so he didn't think too much when he picked up the burden and left, anyway, if he has money, he can't go anywhere in the world, and he can go back to Qingzhou later.
As for the lady of the Guogong Mansion? She didn't also say that she had a big mission, so he didn't have to bother!
Leaving like this, he was walking leisurely down the street, when suddenly a luxurious carriage stopped, and a noble lady beckoned to him, and this person was none other than Lizzie.
He didn't even remember Nan Zhao, how could he remember who Liji was, but when he first met, he was still impressed by Liji's beautiful appearance, and when he heard Liji say that he was an old acquaintance, he almost had no doubt, because in Shen Rugu's eyes at this moment, a good-looking person would not lie!
So as soon as Liji said that there was a feast to invite him to, he gladly accepted, and also took a chariot with Liji to Chaohua Building, halfway, Liji talked to him and asked him why he was wandering alone on the street, he was worried that even the maids in the Guogong Mansion were Nanzhao's people, and no one told him about his bitterness, seeing that Liji was very understanding, and even told Liji everything he knew in 1510!
When she drank with Liji at the banquet, she was so excited that she spilled the wine, and Liki ordered one of her beauties to wait for him to change his clothes.
Nan Zhao had entered the room at this moment, and the woman's laughter had stopped for the time being, but the woman's voice could be heard clearly.
"Childe, is your lady really that ugly?"
"Very ugly...... Her face was so red that she looked like she had been beaten hundreds of times, and her eyes were so small that she couldn't make out her pupils...... It's so big, it's really rare to see someone like her! Shen Rugu seemed to be drunk, his voice was intermittent, and Nan Zhao listened, familiar and unfamiliar.
What is familiar is that the timbre has not changed, but the tone of the voice is very unfamiliar. Nan Zhao had heard him say many times in front of people that he was ugly, saying that his heart was unwavering, which was definitely a lie, but her expression at the moment was as cold as frost, and she continued to step in.
The conversation between the woman and Shen Rugu continued.
"Why did the son marry him in the first place, like the son with a good family background and a man with a unique appearance, what kind of woman can't he marry?"
"yesβ" He had always wondered. The woman's voice was shallow, revealing delicateness
"Childe doesn't have to be too sad, Concubine Li has already given her mercy to Childe? In the future, let Li'er make Childe happy! β
"It's so nice to be a pity!" It's so nice to be a pity...... Nan Zhao could hear Shen Ru's voice, weak and drunk, like a person who drinks alcohol.
Through the pink veil, she saw that on the bed in the wing room, a woman was wrapped around Shen Rugu's body, and the picture was dazzling.
She didn't pause, strode in and opened the curtain, and the woman named Lian'er who was pressing on Shen Rugu's body stood up in shock, and screamed in fright when she saw Nan Zhao's face
"Ahh Nan Zhao ignored her, his eyes looked coldly at Shen Rugu who was lying on the bed, the clothes on his body were messy, obviously the result of the two of them rubbing over there just now, looking at his face, dyed red, as if he had drunk a lot of wine, his mind was a little sluggish, when he heard Li'er's scream, he also glanced at Nan Zhao, but he didn't seem to recognize him, and waved to Li'er with a smile,
"Okay, this son wants to be happy-" Nan Zhao saw the decadent appearance of the person she loved, a knife scraped in her heart, looked to the side, and found that there was a bath bucket over there, and there were flower petals scattered on the water surface of the bath, she walked over directly, scooped a scoop of hot water with a water scoop, walked back, and splashed it all on Shen Rugu's face!
