Chapter Twenty-Three: Counting is Counting
The night was dark, everyone was asleep, only Ling Ruoxuan was lying on the bed and had no intention of sleeping. "It's late at night, and you still haven't slept?" A gentle male voice came from the room.
"I can't sleep, I'm worried about Yunfei's safety." Ling Ruohui started from the bed, her jet-black hair hanging down like satin behind her back, even more soft under the moonlight.
"Lord Wang" The cold male voice sounded outside the window.
"How? Did they get their hands dirty? ”
"Yes, half an hour ago, I saw with my own eyes that Wu Jian was poisoned in the water, and Gongzi and Xiao Liuzi also drank water. Presumably, they will come to the house in a moment to inform the prisoner that he has died violently. As soon as the words fell, Mu'er's cry came from outside the door.
"Miss, Miss, it's not good Childe, Childe died violently in prison." Mu'er cried outside the door. King Qi raised his hand and struck, Ling Ruohui fainted instantly, and when he heard the sound in the house, Mu'er pushed the door in, only to see Ling Ruohui faint to the ground......
"Miss, Miss, wake up. Mama, Mengchun is coming, Miss fainted. Hearing Mu'er's cry for help, everyone rushed in, helped Ling Ruoyi to the bed, and after slowly waking up, Mama Qian said with tears in her eyes: "Miss, Childe, Childe, Childe, he died in prison" Woo woo woo, it was a burst of crying.
"What about Yunfei's body," Ling Ruoyi said with a crying voice.
"It's been shipped back, it's parked in the courtyard, and Xiangye is arranging the mourning hall."
"Mama, accompany me to Daddy."
In the courtyard, some people are happy and some are worried, Ling Xianglao is in tears, his only son died young, what can he do as a father, Ling Ruohui walked to the courtyard with the support of Mu'er and Mengchun, looking at Yun Fei lying upright on the tablet, his eyes were red, and tears fell like beads of broken threads. "Yunfei, why don't you wait for your sister to save you, I hope you will tell your sister in a dream that which mad person has harmed you so much, and my sister will definitely avenge you."
At this moment, a gust of wind blew around the Ling Mansion, and then a resentful voice sounded, "Dad, sister, I died so unjustly, you have to avenge me." ”
"Yunfei, who hurt you, you must tell my sister in my dream tonight." The voice continued, I died so unjustly, you have to avenge me, everyone present was so frightened that their souls were not possessed, even Aunt Xiao, who was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, looked around in horror, if anyone slapped her at this time, he would definitely scare him half to death.
"Daddy, let's park Yunfei in my daughter's courtyard tonight."
"No, you haven't left the pavilion yet, Yun Fei's body is still resting in his Lijingxuan."
"It's okay, Yunfei is my brother, I'll keep vigil for him tonight, maybe Yunfei will tell me who killed him."
"Daddy is with you." Ling Xiang said with tears in his eyes.
"No, how can there be a father who guards his son's spirit, and his father will call the officials who come to mourn tomorrow, so let's rest early."
In the courtyard of Fengyin Pavilion, the maids cried together, and Mama Qian was so sad that she fainted several times, after all, Yunfei grew up with her, no different from her own children.
Ling Ruoxuan looked up at the sky and said lightly: "Dream Spring, Si Xia, Pan Autumn, Drunken Winter, the four of you carry the son into the room." ”
"Miss, no." Mama Qian hurriedly stopped it.
"It's okay, after you bring it in, you all go down, I want to talk to Childe." When the maids heard this, the eldest lady was overly stimulated by sadness, the son was dead, do you still expect to be able to talk to her? If you really sit up and talk to her, isn't that a corpse?
However, it was her young lady's order, and she had to obey it. The courtyard finally quieted down, Ling Ruohui opened the needle box, took out a silver needle, and gently stabbed it into Yunfei's heart, the silver needle was pulled out, and Ling Yunfei slowly woke up, "Come, take the medicine." Ling Yunfei took the medicine and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "Sister's medical skills have improved again. ”
Dangdang, there were a few soft knocks outside the door. Ling Ruoxuan opened the door and waited for people to come in, and then quickly closed it.
"Miss Ling, the prince asked me to bring Xiao Liuzi over first, and the prince asked me to tell Miss, don't worry, he and Master Shen are preparing for the rest of the matter, and everything will go according to plan." Ling Ruoyi didn't say anything, just nodded, turned around and walked to the table, took out a long needle and stabbed it into Xiao Liuzi's heart, and when he woke up, he handed him the medicine in his hand.
"Little Liuzi has a bad life, thank you for saving the eldest lady." Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground and was grateful.
"You are also a filial son, for the sake of the old mother and brother, you go back with the remnant wind first, and you can rest assured that the prince will protect you." Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Ling Ruoyi silently.
"Brother Remnant Wind, I want to go back and see my mother and brother." Xiao Liuzi was full of pleading.
"This ,...... All right. Remnant Feng hesitated for a moment but agreed to Xiao Liuzi's request.
In a dilapidated alley in the north of the city, a conversation between mother and son comes from a hut.
"Mother, my son is not filial, so I let you worry about it." When Xiao Liuzi saw his mother, he hurriedly knelt down and cried.
With a snap, Xiao Liuzi was slapped by his mother, "Brute, you get out of here, I don't have a son like you." The old lady said angrily.
"Mother, my son knows that he is wrong, please ask my mother to kiss my son." Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground and cried.
The old lady turned her head awkwardly and didn't look at Xiao Liuzi, and the younger brother on the side said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, you really shouldn't harm the eldest lady and the son, this is revenge." ”
"Grace will take revenge? This...... What the hell is going on, brother, you tell my brother. Xiao Liuzi wondered.
"Last month, the eldest lady once came to the house to treat her mother's illness, and then asked Miss Mengchun to send some silver, and asked people to repair our home. The eldest lady is such a good person, how can you frame her, no wonder my mother is angry. Xiao Liuzi looked around, and his original home had indeed been repaired. It turns out that the eldest lady has done so many things for him, and she really shouldn't do it herself.
"But Aunt Xiao caught you and wanted to blackmail me, and I couldn't help it."
"My wife's life is not worth much, and the eldest lady doesn't dislike me, so she treats me and sends money. You can't repay it in this life, what about you, just do these things, it's really sad for your mother. Get out of here, get out, I don't have a son like you who has lost his conscience. ”
"Brother, the eldest lady's kindness to us can't be repaid even if she dies."
"And how did you escape?"
"It was the prince who sent someone to rescue us from the fire."
"What? Fire? ”
"Yes, brother, Aunt Xiao is afraid that we are the bane, so she wants to burn us to death, if it weren't for the prince and the remnant brother to kill us, my mother and I would have died."
"Mother, forgive your son, my son will definitely repay the eldest lady well."
Seeing this, Remnant Feng took out a bag of silver and said: "I wanted to send you out of the city and leave the capital tomorrow night, these silver were handed over to you by the prince, you can leave the capital now and live in other places, the Xiao family will not let you go easily." ”
"Brother Remnant Wind, what should we do with the eldest lady and the son when we leave."
"With the prince here, they don't dare."
"Xiao Liuzi doesn't leave, Xiao Liuzi will be a cow and a horse in this life, and he will repay the kindness of the prince, the eldest lady and the son."
"It's ......, okay. You and I go with me to see the prince, and the eldest mother and the little tiger will move tomorrow. ”
"Okay, good, sixth son, you must repay the eldest lady and son."
"My son knows, my son's life was saved by the prince and the eldest lady, and I won't let them harm the eldest lady even if I die."
Xiao Liuzi wiped away the tears on his face and followed the remnants back to King Qi's mansion.
The remnant wind pushed the door in, King Qi and Shen Yulang were playing against each other, and Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.
"Remnant Wind, you go back and rest, just let Lei Ming protect Ruo Yi tonight. You've worked hard these days. Little Liuzi, you can go down too. The two of them retreated.
"The prince and Miss Ling are a match made in heaven, but Miss Ling once made a fuss about King Rui's divorce, doesn't the prince mind?" Shen Yulang said lightly.
"There's nothing to mind, King Rui doesn't know Mingzhu, and this king is not as vulgar as him."
"The prince is high. Wang Ye's chess skills are outstanding, I wonder if he has ever played against Miss Ling? ”
"No, she's always cold, even if she's an iceman, this king can cover her."
"Haha, can the prince know who cracked my Zhenlong chess game." King Qi looked surprised and said, "Someone has cracked the Zhenlong chess game?" ”
"Yes, the official Miss Ling who cracked this chess game." King Qi looked at Shen Yulang with an expression of disbelief.
Suddenly, King Qi had a smile on his face, Shen Yulang saw it in his eyes, and knew that this King Qi's feelings for Miss Ling seemed to be very deep, otherwise how could he help her so much, and send his own secret guard to protect her. And what about yourself? Since Miss Ling appeared in his sight that day, he was moved, how many people in Zhenlong's chess game couldn't crack it, but she could, such a woman who was as angry as a lan, how haunting his dreams were.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen." King Qi looked at Shen Yulang, who was holding the chess pieces thoughtfully, and said.
"Oh, oh, lord, I admit defeat." Shen Yulang hurriedly covered up.
"You've got something on your mind."
"I'm thinking about tomorrow's plans, everything is ready, and hopefully tomorrow they'll take the bait."
"Haven't we already agreed on tomorrow's affairs? I think you have a sweetheart, whose girl made you so haunted by your dreams, and you were distracted when you played chess. King Qi laughed.
"Don't make fun of me." Shen Yulang said embarrassedly.
"In this life, it is a happy life to be able to love the woman you like, and in the same way, it is also happy to be able to get the true affection and true love of the woman you love." King Qi's face was full of happiness.
The room suddenly fell silent, and Shen Yulang himself understood that the only woman who could become Princess Qi was this Ling Ruoyi, maybe it was also a kind of happiness to silently watch the person he liked be happy.
What kind of character King Qi is, from the light in Shen Yulang's eyes when he mentioned Ling Ruoxi, he is also obsessed with this woman, can this Ling Ruohui not be so smart, if he is stupid and stupid, maybe he will not provoke so many people to like it, but don't he just like her intelligence.
The night was already deep, everyone was resting, Ling Ruoxuan pushed open the window, looked at the mourning hall that had been arranged in the courtyard, his younger brother was obviously alive, but he wanted to pretend to be dead, it seemed that he was too soft-hearted, if he was soft on the one who was Lanyue Xuan this time, then she would not be Sophie, no, it would not be Ling Ruoyi. Wait, the mourning hall will not be prepared in vain, since it is prepared, someone must enjoy it......
