Chapter Eighty-Four: Sisterhood
Gu Mingchao held the teacup and also set his eyes on Xie Songzhao, Xie Songzhao looked at everyone's puzzled and defensive eyes, and smiled slightly: "Why don't everyone believe it?" I love bamboo, but I've pulled it up over the years. The kid is well-behaved. ”
Everyone: Well-behaved? Why is it that everything he gets involved in is a big deal?
Gu Mingchao: Pull big? When did you pull me up?
Qin Zongle smiled and said: "Yes, the feelings that have been pulled since childhood are different, and it is half a ...... to raise them under your knees" The latter words were pinched back by Yin Xianglan. Turning his head to look at Yin Xiang, he wondered, "Madam?" ”
Yin Xianglan ignored him, only smiled at Gu Mingchao, and said, "It's the concubine who is clumsy, and she didn't recognize An Lehou, so it's rude." ”
Xie Songzhao refilled Gu Mingchao's cup of tea and said: "He is just a child, Madame is polite to him, he understands something." ”
Gu Mingchao glanced at Xie Songzhao, silently picked up the tea he didn't like, and slowly choked down.
Yin Xianglan said: "The Hou Ye came in a hurry, and the concubine didn't have time to set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, so Rong Ming'er made up for it." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "Madam, I'm here to play, Madame doesn't have to bother so much, I treat Brother Qin as my eldest brother." Such a reception banquet, what is the peace in the heart of the little brother? ”
Qin Zong said: "Hey, it's not a big deal, don't worry." ”
Yin Xianglan, who didn't answer, looked at Qin Zong's heart attack.
Xie Songzhao raised the teacup and said, "Brother Qin is bold, and the younger brother replaces the wine with tea, and toasts the eldest brother with a cup." ”
Yin Xianglan saw that the two of them were about to become sworn brothers with two cups of tea, so she hurriedly found a topic to drag back a few people, "Master Hou, Princess Junping fled back, and the concubine guessed that the southern army would send troops on the grounds that Princess Junping's heir died early." ”
Mei Shiyan sat forward slightly and said, "Master Hou, I am far away in Nanjun, and I don't know a lot about the affairs of Yandu, and I hope that Lord Hou will say a few more words." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "The Southern Army will never send troops under this name, it was their envoy Ma Fei who poisoned Junping's child. ”
Yin Xianglan said: "There are obviously many good ways to solve this child, why would you choose a way that is extremely unfavorable to the southern country?" ”
Xie Songzhao smiled slyly and said, "The nobles in Yandu did not dare to bear the responsibility of destroying the friendship between the two countries. ”
Mei Shiyan said with a smile: "I see, Nanguo expected this kid to give them a chance, an opportunity to send troops, but I didn't expect to end up lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot." ”
Xie Songzhao pointed at Gu Ming and said, "This thing is not easy to handle, when my apprentice went to do this, he almost suffered from prison." ”
Mei Shiyan reluctantly praised a few sentences, and said: "Master Hou, I got the news that Junping bypassed Nanjun and rushed straight from Guiyang Lingling, and after entering the territory of Nanguo, there was no trace. Now everyone in Anyang is looking for her. ”
Xie Songzhao said: "She will go to Anyang, there is no place to live in other places, and there are many ghosts in Anyang, maybe someone saved her." ”
Yin Xianglan said: "Master Hou, the southern army has not withdrawn, Jiang Shuai has been quite difficult to deal with them recently, and he sent troops as if he was tickling. ”
Xie Songzhao said: "I can go to Fuyang in a few days, Brother Qin, do you have anything you want me to bring over?" ”
Qin Zong looked at Yin Xianglan, and Yin Xianglan said: "The concubine is a woman, she doesn't know about military politics, and this matter is all up to Taishou and Master Mei." ”
Qin Zong said: "I'm afraid I don't have anything to help, I've never fought in a place with a complex terrain like Fuyang." ”
Mei Shiyan said: "I'm just a scholar, and I don't dare to point fingers at Jiang Shuai's layout. Jiang Shuai has always been invincible, and he doesn't need me, but I have a proposal, this time, we can send a man of tongue to the battlefield to thwart his authority first. ”
Qin Zong smiled and said, "Mei Xinlu, aren't you just in love with Master Hou?" Who of us will argue? Master Hou! ”
After saying that, laughing, Mei Shiyan was slightly stunned, and then laughed with him, Yin Xianglan looked at Qin Zong, who was smiling like a fool, and sighed in her heart, fortunately, Xie Songzhao didn't care about this.
Gu Mingchao looked at the getting later and later in the sky, frowned slightly, and was irritable, Yin Xianglan saw him looking out of the window frequently, and paid attention to it, and saw that a few people were almost talking, so he said: "It's getting late today, Hou Ye will temporarily live in the mansion, and the concubine has already cleaned up the West Cross Courtyard." ”
Gu Mingchao glared at Xie Songzhao slightly, Xie Songzhao smiled and said: "Don't be so troublesome, I have already asked Ming Chao to find a place to stay, this kid has been busy for a long time, and he has to live." ”
Yin Xianglan said with a smile: "It's the concubine who owes it, the Hou Ye is better at raising children than the concubine, if he changes to my family, the concubine doesn't care about him, he and the concubine are not very close." ”
Xie Songzhao brought tea and poured tea for Gu Mingchao, and said: "How can the little boy be the same as my apprentice, you are beating and scolding, I am an apprentice, and I will count on him to give me a pension in the future." ”
Qin Zong said: "Hey, you are young, say this. Now that you've found a good place, you can't live up to the wishes of other people's children, so you can go, and you'll have to live with me next time! ”
Xie Songzhao said: "That's natural, Brother Qin has been so warmly invited, if I don't come, can it be justified?" ”
Qin Zong pulled him up, and the two shook hands and walked out the door with a smile.
Gu Mingchao walked with Mei Shiyan, and Mei Shiyan asked in a low voice, "Does Your Highness have anything to say?" ”
Gu Mingchao said: "Your Highness, you have been wronged. ”
Mei Shiyan was about to kneel down immediately, Gu Mingchao grabbed his hand and said, "My lord, this is not Yandu, don't thank you." ”
Mei Shiyan smiled bitterly: "Alas, this ......"
Gu Mingchao said: "Junping passed from Guiyang, Guiyang Taishou didn't take her, and went to Yandu to ask for a guilty son, His Royal Highness let us explore Guiyang." ”
Mei Shiyan said: "I have already passed with Shen Yan, but Lingling suddenly flooded, and was forced to divert to Zhoushan and go to Lingling to preside over the overall situation." ”
Gu Mingchao said: "Then I'll go with Hou Ye." ”
Mei Shiyan said: "There is Master Lao." ”
As he spoke, he arrived at the gate of the house, the dusk was full of light, and the first quarter moon slowly climbed up the willow branches,
Yin Xianglan in the mansion had a deep gaze, and called the maid orange Ru and said: "Go, where they live, arrange good people for me, whether Gu Ming has a heart, or Xie Songzhao is blinded by his mind, as long as there is an abnormality, take it directly." ”
Tang Rufu said: "Yes, the maid understands." ”
Needles could be heard on the street under the curfew, and the wheels of the carriage pressed on the road, making a creaking sound, and Gu Mingchao looked at the long street where there was no half a figure.
Xie Songzhao handed him a cup of tea and said, "Look, I have already arranged it, there will be no banquet for Ming'er, let's go Ming'er." Why are you still angry? ”
Gu Mingchao said awkwardly: "Still drinking, how many cups of tea did you pour me today?" ”
Xie Songzhao pouted and said: "I don't know what I learned from that person, I was obviously appeased, but I still have to pretend to be angry." ”
Gu Mingchao snatched the tea and said: "You, I learned from you, you are my master." ”
Xie Songzhao leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "What did Mei Shiyan tell you?" ”
Gu Mingchao said: "Shen Yan can't go to Guiyang, let's go." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "What name? Directly say I doubt you, I'll check, I guess we just got out of the gate of Nanjun, and there were batches of killers. ”
Gu Mingchao said: "What are you afraid of, let's bring Guihong and Yoda." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "They also have to rest, you can't let them keep watching, right?" ”
Gu Mingchao said: "I, I'll keep it, okay, I've been practicing with them for so long." ”
Xie Songzhao said: "You kid, you are very stubborn. I mean, if you want to be famous, you tell me that you kill gods when you meet gods, and kill Buddhas when you meet Buddhas, and you are so angry that you drink all the tea in vain. ”
Gu Mingchao gave him a roll of the eye and said, "Master Xie, do you remember the first night I stayed in your Hou Mansion and the way back to the mansion after the banquet with Pan Zhouyi?" ”
Xie Songzhao said: "Remember ......"
Gu Ming said: "At that time, weren't Yuanxiu and Guihong gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas?" ”
Xie Songzhao said: "That's different, in Yandu, those people are a little scared, and they don't dare to kill ......"
In the end, he couldn't say anything in Gu Mingchao's eyes, poured a cup of tea by himself, and drank it with his head tilted.
South, Yongning Palace West Wing.
Empress Xiao sat in the courtyard, and Luohui covered her knees with a thick fox fur, still uneasy, and the entire West Wing Courtyard was turned upside down.
Liang Linggui knelt at the feet of Empress Xiao and sobbed, "Niangniang, what are you looking for?" The concubine just moved to the West Wing Courtyard, how could there be dirty things, it must have been framed! ”
Empress Xiao turned a deaf ear, and only ordered people to cover her mouth, strip off her coat, and kneel in the cold March day in the south, cold and biting, Liang Linggui kept shivering, tears flowed sideways on her face, there was no beauty of pear blossoms with rain, only disgusting for no reason.
Empress Xiao said: "Has the yard where she lived before been cleaned?" ”
Luohui packed the soup woman for her, and said: "After the search, I searched inch by inch, and I didn't let go of a single dark grid, and there was nothing suspicious." ”
Empress Xiao said: "Spread the message to the harem, open the palace doors of each palace, and the Royal Forest Army searched." ”
Luohui got up and put a makeup satin fox pleats on her, and wrapped her neck tightly, then turned around and said: "Spread the queen's decree, no matter how big or small the palace is, open the palace door so that the royal forest army can search it, and anyone who disobeys will be immediately beheaded." ”
Liang Linggui kept shrinking back, and Luohui said: "Last chance, you tell me where Liang Ji is, and Niangniang let you go." Don't say it...... You have been in the palace all these years, and you also know the notoriety of the servant. ”
Liang Linggui shook his head again and again, tears and snot flooded his face, Luo Hui lost his patience, and said, "Twenty spines." ”
Ten canes went down, the placket of the back was wide open, the flesh and blood were implicated, and Luohui saw that the muscles and bones were almost broken, so he shouted to stop.
But Liang Linggui was speechless, and there was chaos in front of him.
Luohui looked around with his eyes, slightly hooked his lips and smiled: "Bring wine, wake up." ”
"What exactly am I doing to you?"
The expected voice appeared, and Luohui was not surprised, and his men still spilled the wine. Liang Linggui screamed again and again, eager to roll.
Jun Ping was about to rush up, but the sword of the Royal Forest Army was unsheathed and slashed at her, and Luo Hui laughed mockingly: "Do you think that she is loyal to you, and she doesn't confide in half a word under such torture." ”
Jun Ping said: "If this spreads, I'm afraid it will hinder the reputation of the queen." ”
Luohui said: "Over the years, Niangniang has only been known as a virtuous person, how can she be notorious? I haven't woken up yet, splash me. ”
Jun Ping put his hands on the handle of the gun and said, "You are really a loyal dog." ”
Luohui said: "In front of Niangniang, how dare a sinner still stand? ”
As soon as the Imperial Forest Army exerted force on his hands, Junping's knees couldn't stand the force, and he knelt on the rocks.
Liang Linggui woke up slightly, looked at Junping with tears in his eyes, and Luo Hui sneered: "If you really want to protect her, shouldn't you show up early to prevent her from suffering a little, but you are hiding, you want to see her thoughts, don't you?" ”
Liang Linggui's eyes did not change at all, Luo Hui was a little surprised, and Jun Ping said: "I came back, I just want to ask, why is it different from what we discussed?" My child, lost in vain! ”
Empress Xiao said: "Who is Ma Fei related to, he is the nephew of your mother's cousin, he will never harm you, you and him will be both prosperous and lossy." You didn't know that you were being made a game, and you dared to run back at this time, which was a big deal for me. ”
