Chapter 52, the sound of the piano in the snow

She didn't know what medicine was sold in Xia Sheng's gourd, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so she replied indifferently.

"If there is anything that the King of Han has, please send it to the porter, and they will tell me it. If you really can't open your mouth, you can also write a letter to the retainers of the house, and after their consultation, they will also present it. It is against humanity for me to meet you in private today. In the future, let's not see you again!"

These words came out of her mouth extremely indifferently, turned around, did not give him any chance to refute, and left far away in the opposite direction, leaving Xia Sheng standing alone in the courtyard and not moving for a long time.

Lu Zhaoyi walked away, Xia Sheng slowly retracted his gaze, turned around, and watched her back disappear at the end of the garden, as if a piece had been dug out in her heart, and the pain was abnormal.

But the matter has come to this point, and it cannot be changed, and in the future, the two can only be brothers and sisters-in-law and uncles.

In the Hongyan Building of the Third Courtyard on the left, Lu Zhaoyi entered Qu Zhiyun's bedroom and sat facing her.

A pot of boiling tea, burned by the heat of the stove, and the whole room was soon warm.

Outside, snowflakes were falling, covering the ground with a thick layer of snow white.

Lu Zhaoyi held the teacup, but he was not in a hurry to drink it, just stared at the tea in his hand quietly.

"Qi Niang has something on her mind?" Qu Zhiyun took a sip lightly, put down the cup, and stared at her with warm eyes.

Lu Zhaoyi was slightly stunned, then came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and concealed the emotions in his eyes.

She deliberately diverted the topic, "Have you done the decoration of the new site of Qinyu Pavilion?" I have not seen you go and oversee the work for a few days."

Listening to her words, Qu Zhiyun bowed her head slightly, "It's almost there, just wait for next month to start, and it can be completely completed." What's more, the people of Wu Sikong Mansion are keeping a close eye on the capital, and it would be strange if I always ran over every day with a face like mine, and I wouldn't be suspicious."

With the changes in the situation between the DPRK and China, adjustments have also taken place within Luojing and within the Tianxia League.

Qinyu Pavilion is the secret residence hall of Zuo Qintang, and the hall master Lin Chang, after being recommended by Zuo Prime Minister Yuan Qi, appointed the Zhenguo Mansion to engage in the position of Zhonglang Bus Order, and naturally became the backbone of the World Alliance, the deputy leader of the alliance.

In this way, Qinyu Pavilion has become the status of the general rudder of the World Alliance.

However, at this moment, the snow was colorful, and while they turned their heads to look at the snow outside the window, a melodious piano sound suddenly sounded and reached their ears.

"It's weird." Qu Zhiyun frowned, "I haven't heard of anyone in our house who can touch the qin, and Wen Ji, the son of Wei Guogong, is indeed a piano artist, but he should be guarding the tiger prison, right?"

When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the window, but in the vast white snow, there was nothing except the goose feather snow flying in the sky.

Under the chords of the piano sound, it seems to be sad, like helplessness, like gurgling water, feeling that time is easy to get old, and the friendship of the old people is not there.

After a sad sound of the piano scattered in the snow, the strings suddenly plucked and deafened, as if someone was striking the strings hard, and under the roaring sound of the piano, there was the heart of the person who stroked the qin, which was mixed with grief and indignation.

Qu Zhiyun couldn't help but shake her head after hearing this, "Where did this sound come from, it was so mournful."

Lu Zhaoyi was silent for a long time before he summoned the flower branch that followed him, "You go and see, who handed the qin to King Han, let Wei Meng take this person, and punish the ten military sticks to set an example."

Her voice was flat, but her words were full of calmness, which made people feel cold.

"The Cold King?" Qu Zhiyun was taken aback, and then smiled, "You still can't resist it? If the people outside knew that the queen had met her husband and brother in private, what would it be like?"

Lu Zhaoyi glanced at her, "He comes every day to cause gossip. I let him in to make it clear to him, so that there will be no unnecessary trouble in the future."

After speaking, she took a sip of hot tea, remembered again, and instructed, "Remember, don't let the emperor know about this!"

Qu Zhiyun nodded yes, and the next moment she burst out laughing.

"Hide

Your Majesty, are you still afraid that Your Majesty will cause vinegar?"

"You girl......" Lu Zhaoyi picked up the empty cup and pretended to smash it, Qu Zhiyun saw it, quickly flashed over, and stuck out her tongue at her.

"Her Royal Highness is angry, the girl will never dare to make fun of you anymore."

These words came out of Qu Zhiyun's mouth, which was always a little weird, more of a provocative and naughty meaning.

The two women then scuffled with each other in the attic.

After a while, the sound of the piano outside also stopped abruptly, and the fight between them at the daughter's house soon ended.

Lu Zhaoyi was lying on the floor, looking at the roof with flat eyes, his eyes seemed to be sluggish, "Do you know that you are going to be seventeen in a few months, and when I was seventeen, I had already left the Lu family and experienced life and death in the rivers and lakes......

Hearing this, Qu Zhiyun also fell into a short silence, and then she stretched out her hand, stroked Lu Zhaoyi's soft hair, and said slowly: "Since I met you, I have regarded you as a good sister, and I regard you as an admirer in my heart, and I am willing to follow you all the time......

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly, then sat up, stretched out a finger and tapped her forehead fiercely.

"Didn't I get married right away, why did I get so sad?" As she spoke, she stood up and patted the dust off the hem of her skirt.

Qu Zhiyun also laughed, "I'm just worried that when you enter the palace one day, there will be no one to chat with you."

"How so? Zhiyun, you are so lively and smart, I can't bear it!" Lu Zhaoyi held her palm, said with a smile, and then hugged her into his arms.

The two were silent for a long time before they gradually separated, and at this time, Huazhi happened to return, holding a piano in her arms.

"Qi Niang, this qin was not handed over by someone from the house, it was brought by King Han himself."

"Where's the Cold King?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

"It's gone." Hua Zhi said cautiously, "After King Han left, he said that he would hand over this piano to Qi Niang, Qi Niang, you see ......."

Huazhi offered the piano with both hands.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't take it, just looked at this piano and couldn't help but sigh that it was a good piano.

Pity......

She raised her eyes and shook her head, "I can't take this qin, send someone back to the Han Wangfu, let people bring the words, if he doesn't pick up and return the qin, I can only send this qin to the queen mother's palace and let the queen mother return it."

Hua Zhi was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement.

Perhaps, in her heart, she felt that Lu Zhaoyi was so indifferent, and when she thought of the current status quo of the queen's edict, she could understand her behavior.

Just now, Huazhi was about to withdraw, but when he turned around at that moment, Lu Zhaoyi turned sideways slightly, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the bottom of the piano that Huazhi was holding, sticking to the front of him, as if there was some foreign object, and immediately cheered and stopped Huazhi.

"What's wrong? Qi Niang ......"

"Zhiyun, what do you see sticking to the bottom of the piano?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.

Qu Zhiyun stepped forward suspiciously, and when she saw the bottom of the piano, there was an envelope.

Tearing down the envelope and handing it to Lu Zhaoyi, she was stunned, and then waved her hand, signaling Huazhi to retreat.

When she started it, she always felt that this letter was not simple.

She kept thinking in her heart, perhaps, Xia Sheng was using this way to give herself ironclad evidence about Wu Chong's rebellion.

recalled that before she set off for Huainan County, the purpose of inviting Xia Sheng to Zuixiangju was because he had evidence that Wu Chong had accepted bribes and privately minted copper coins.

It was also in order to be able to deal with Lu Lin and Du Yan that she formed an alliance with Xia Sheng and used the power of the old Nanling to deal with the enemies in the court.

At that time, she didn't expect that in the end, she would have to unite with Du Yan to deal with Wu Chong, who had been hidden for many years.

It seemed that Qu Zhiyun had also guessed it, her expression instantly became solemn, and she couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "Seven, Qi Niang, this letter is ......

Lu Zhaoyi nodded to her dullly, "Maybe."

She held the envelope up, and through the light outside, she seemed to try to see through the words inside, but no matter what, she couldn't make out what was written.

Then, no longer hesitating, he hurriedly opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

When she unveiled the letter, she looked at the contents of the letter with a little joy, and as she looked down, her face became more and more gloomy, and finally she was angry and tore the letter to shreds on the spot.

"Actually...... So, tease me!"

Just looking at her face, Qu Zhiyun could guess without thinking about it that this letter was not Wu Chong's incriminating evidence, but ......

Love poems?

The next moment, she couldn't hold back and laughed, "Qi Niang! You have today! Why is it all torn like this? I also want to see the poems written by the world's most talented people!"

Lu Zhaoyi was annoyed and angry, her cheeks became more and more red, and she wanted to kick Qu Zhiyun out of the house.

However, she thought about it again in her heart, and the annoyance on her face instantly turned into an expression of sudden realization.

"Zhiyun, if it weren't for Xia Sheng's trouble, I would have really forgotten that he still had ironclad evidence of Wu Chong's rebellion in his hand."

If it weren't for that ironclad evidence, Xia Sheng would not have come into contact with Wu Chong, nor would he have been used by Wu Chong, and finally had Gu poison in his body.

All of this is because of that evidence.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to shout, "Zhiyun, prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother!"

"See the Queen Mother? Do you want the Queen Mother to help you persuade King Han and hand over the evidence to you?"

"There's no other way. I can't go to him myself, can I? Now, I can't even see the Emperor."

Hearing her words, Qu Zhiyun almost laughed, probably still muttering in her heart: Have you seen the emperor in private? Before the marriage was not taken at all, the emperor and queen were not allowed to see each other, and this etiquette was a thing.

Lu Zhaoyi didn't care what she was thinking, and immediately turned around and went out.

"Hey, Qi Niang, you wait for me!"

Just now, as soon as he went out, Lu Zhaoyi only felt that he had collided with a person, and his forehead hit the chest of the person in front of him.

And Qu Zhiyun also happened to run out, and when she saw her colliding with that person, she was first frightened, and then, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly expanded, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she hurriedly retreated to not disturb the two people.

For a while, Lu Zhaoyi's vision suddenly dimmed, and he bumped into someone again, so he immediately had to quickly retreat.

But the man pulled her into his arms, his chest pressed tightly against her, as if not giving her any chance to escape.

At first, Lu Zhaoyi was a little angry, but after a while, none of the hidden guards nearby came up to stop her, not to mention, this broad chest made her so familiar.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? You, let me go......

Sure enough, in the next moment, next to her ears, a stream of heat blew into her ears, and the voice that she was already familiar with and enough to sink gradually came.

"Zhaoyi, if you read the poem that the third brother wrote to you, read it to me. I'll let you go......
