Chapter 63: Ice and Iron
Outside the temple.
"The mother concubine is inconsistent in her words, and it is obvious that one of them is improvised and invented. Rong Yunhe rubbed his temples, his handsome eyebrows showed a little tiredness, and his eyelashes, which were three points longer than the woman's, hung down, leaving a circle of rose-colored shadows in his eyes. Rao is he also had to admit, "Indeed, it is more likely that the mother concubine will capture Lu Qinshi." However, if she arrested Lu Mochuan just to find the reason why Concubine Ming Yu died back then, why didn't she want to tell us?"
Qin Luoyi stood aside, vigorously suppressing his strong urge to expose Song Jinya.
The mother concubine was killed by this femme fatale woman with her own hands, and the original clothes were also buried in the loess by the eunuch under her instructions, and she suffocated to death.
With such a deep blood feud, she still has the face to blame this crime on others...... If you don't expose her, how can you be worthy of the mother concubine who died of hatred under Jiuquan?
But with her original identity as a maid in the Red Sleeve Garden, it would be too suspicious to know such a secret, not to mention that Rong Yunhe is Song Jinya's son after all, mother and son are heart-to-heart, if he knew about the heinous crimes committed by his mother, he would choose to cover up the truth and kill her.
Her eyes flickered rapidly, and finally she couldn't hold back the words that rose to her lips, and said two sentences without saltiness, "I think Lu Qinshi was arrested by her, there is no doubt about that." It's hard to say that she has something different in mind. ”
Rong Yunhe's eyebrows were gloomy, and he turned his head and whispered a word into the air. Qin Luoyi watched in astonishment as the air fluctuated faintly a few times, and a dark shadow rushed towards the Hundred Blessing Hall like lightning, if it weren't for the extremely clever angle of the sunlight shining on that figure at that moment, allowing her to clearly see the dark shadow projected on the ground, she almost thought that she was dazzled.
"What is that?" Qin Luoyi asked curiously.
"My Secret Guard, known as Shadow. Rong Yunhe glanced at her, "You just said that the mother concubine may have another purpose, so I will send the shadow to investigate." ”
"Won't this be discovered?" she said, her face full of doubt.
"The Shadow has been following me in the secret passage, have you ever noticed?"
"This hidden kung fu can really be called superb. Qin Luoyi was amazed.
Youcao listened silently to their conversation, and suddenly asked in a childish voice, "Sister Qin, you say, will my brother not be able to come back?"
The girl's innocent words made Qin Luoyi and Rong Yunhe stunned.
If it is really as Qin Luoyi expected, Song Jinya wants to kill people and destroy her mouth, then Lu Mochuan will be regarded by her as a thorn in the flesh, and Lu Mochuan is a mediocre body, in addition to his piano skills, he can be called powerless, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape, and this trip is indeed a lot of bad luck.
But how could Qin Luoyi bear to tell such a cruel truth to that childish little face? She had to force a happy face, "Of course not." You think, your brother's piano skills are so good, Song Jinya must have wanted to listen to his piano sound when he caught him, and he would definitely not harm him. ”
"Oh......" Youcao nodded obediently, but her little hand covered her heart, and she was stunned, "However, I have a very bad premonition now. ”
"Don't worry about that. Qin Luoyi held her little hand, the little hand held by Rou Yi was slightly delicate and pale, her eyes moved slightly, and she suggested with a smile, "Youcao, have you ever let go of the paper kite?
She raised her eyes to look at the sky, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the breeze was blowing, and it was really a good weather for paper kites.
"Put the paper kite?" Youcao hurriedly shook her head, with a curious expression, "What is a paper kite?"
"Paper kites are also known as kites. As the name suggests, it was originally a bird made of paper, but later it was derived from various shapes and materials......" Qin Luoyi patiently explained, this situation and this scene were extremely familiar, and it made her feel the urge to burst into tears.
Many years ago, when she was not growing up, her mother held her little hand like this and told her in gentle words the origin of the paper kite, the production of the paper kite, and the legend of the paper kite. In those beautiful and magnificent stories, there is a gentle and delicate love for her concubine. Now, she has grown up, but her mother is already in Jiuquan, separated by yin and yang, so how can she not be full of emotion.
Not only Youcao, but even Rong Yunhe, who has been pampered since childhood, has never heard of this paper kite, and at this time, he followed behind Youcao step by step, vaguely listening to the woman's gentle watery voice, it was inevitable that he would be a little more trance-like.
If so, the woman is his wife, and the grass is his daughter, how good it would be for such a family to enjoy the joy of family.
Rong Yunhe was shocked by this thought, but this kind of thought was unconsciously planted deep in his mind.
About an hour later, a very beautiful swallow paper kite was held in the hand of Youcao, and the little girl was very interested in the matter of putting the paper kite, and soon left her brother behind, which made Qin Luoyi also feel relieved.
Luoyi put the spool into Youcao's hand and said softly, "Do what my sister taught you just now." ”
turned to Rong Yunhe and chuckled, "You take care of the grass, don't let her fall." I'll go to the crescent lake to have a look. ”
Rong Yunhe bowed his head, and then said loudly, "You are familiar with this place?" When the woman came to this meadow, she walked leisurely, and even knew that there was a crescent moon lake here.
Qin Luoyi's eyes flashed with helplessness. Of course, she had grown up in this area almost since she was a child, and she was naturally familiar with Crescent Lake, and she had been boating on the lake many times. However, how do she explain the maid of the Red Sleeve Garden, but she is familiar with the lake in the palace.
She opened her lips to explain, but her mind went blank, and she didn't know what excuse to make.
The atmosphere between the two became a little unpredictable for a while.
"Concubine Qi's palace is not far from here, I have dinner in the evening, and I will come here to hang out and eat. Qin Luoyi calmed down and responded calmly.
Qin Luoyi knew that Fang Cai's hesitation had already made him suspicious, so he had to squeeze out a smile, "Why don't you go to Youcao, if something goes wrong with her, Lu Qinshi will be the first to spare you, after all, he is also our savior." If he is unlucky this time, we will also take care of his sister for him. ”
With that, she walked towards the lake as if she had fled, ignoring the meaningful eyes of the man behind her, looking at the calm and waveless lake, and for a while fell into the whirlpool of memory.
The mother concubine once liked to take her on a boat on the lake, admiring the moon together, watching the scenery together, and even the frogs and fish in the lake were an indispensable part of her memory.
Now, that Ye Bianzhou doesn't know where it was abandoned by the eunuchs in the palace.
Qin Luoyi closed her eyes, not allowing herself to reveal the slightest weakness, but the meaning of longing penetrated deep into her bone marrow, making her murmur softly, "Mother, I miss you so much." ”
But in an instant, the whisper turned into a high-pitched scream, and the woman was caught off guard and plunged into the deep water, her eyes widening in mid-air filled with horror.
Just now, there was a secret hand that pushed her from behind.
Who is this?
didn't have time to think about it, the icy lake water was over her head, Qin Luoyi only felt that the lake was as unfathomable as an abyss, she struggled on the water, choking on several mouthfuls of water, but she didn't dare to relax. Once it really sinks, it will be a catastrophe.
This water made her can't help but feel the fear in her heart, and made her feel the threat of death again.
Death seemed to her once again at hand.
Qin Luoyi only felt helpless, it seemed that after being reborn, her life had hung by a thread many times, this time, would she be able to survive the rest of her life?
In a trance, a wide embrace that belonged to a man alone hugged her tightly and carried her out of the water.
In a half-daz, Qin Luoyi smelled a refreshing dark fragrance on the man's body.
Following.
Qin Luoyi woke up again, her last memory was still stuck in the appearance of herself struggling in the water, almost drowning, and she couldn't help but say to herself, "Who saved me?"
Rong Yunhe's cold face immediately appeared in her mind, but she heard a laugh, "Girl in Luoyi, why do you make yourself so embarrassed every time, don't you deliberately want me to show my ability to rejuvenate my skill? Ruan's consultation fee is very expensive on weekdays." ”
Raising her eyes and seeing Ruan Haojun coming in, Qin Luoyi felt a trace of loss in her heart, but fortunately, she quickly adjusted her emotions and showed a smile, "It was Gongzi Jun who saved me?"
"Sort of. Ruan Haojun didn't blush, after all, he was the one who woke up Qin Luoyi.
And when it fell into Qin Luoyi's ears, it became that he jumped into the water to save himself ashore, and his eyes suddenly became a little more grateful, "Then I will thank you Jun Gongzi." The grace of saving lives many times cannot be reciprocated. ”
Outside the door, a touch of purple clothes flashed, but it stopped at the door. Rong Yunhe was holding a bowl of hot ginger soup in his hand, but he didn't seem to feel pain, listening carefully to the movement in the house.
"Ahem, this one, easy to say, easy to say. Ruan Haojun said with a smile, "But it's okay to promise something with your body." ”
Qin Luoyi's face was slightly red, she felt that she still had a good impression of Ruan Haojun, especially faintly grateful to him for helping her quietly several times, so she was also quite sincere when she spoke, "Jun Gongzi is as gentle as jade, picturesque, it can be said that he is a good son in the turbid world, I am afraid that there are many ladies who are looking forward to tying the knot with Gongzi." ”
Ruan Haojun held a folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his face, but asked a tricky question, "Luoyi, you tell me quietly, what do you think of me compared to Yunhe?"
Rong Yunhe, who was outside the house, was also holding his breath when he heard this, and he didn't even know that he had spilled a few drops of hot ginger soup on his palm.
Qin Luoyi thought for a moment, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and said, "This question is inevitably too tricky, Jun Gongzi is more like a piece of mutton fat white jade, with warm tentacles, while the third prince is inevitably like a cold ice and dark iron, cold and compelling." Although the quality of the two is not different, I am afraid that most women will prefer warm jade. ”
"After all, most people will be deterred by the bone-chilling coldness. ”
