Chapter 128: Revenge
The night was silent, and the second son of Su Wangfu was noisy enough, and his arrogance was as arrogant as his voice, and Wan Jinlan, who was shouting from a distance, heard his words clearly.
Wan Jinlan was on the pole on the porch, in the darkness, people couldn't notice that there were people here.
The two red lanterns at the entrance of the courtyard were blown by the wind, and the shadows falling from the branches sticking out of the wall swayed on the floor, but Xiao Qi, who was in his early tens, was dressed in a rich blue brocade robe, and came out of the courtyard with a personal servant.
"Childe, you mess with the prince every day, what do you want to do?"
The little guy with the lantern couldn't stand Xiao Qi's trouble every day. The princess will not do anything to the prince, but he is inevitably scolded and punished for serving by his side.
Xiao Qi snorted coldly, "When he comes back, the concubine will be good to him, I just want to tell him, the concubine will always be good to me, why do you say he came back?" ”
Xiao Qi stomped his feet angrily.
I saw that his eyes rolled and said, "Then what Wu Gongzi lives in the guest house, we will drive him out of the palace tomorrow." ”
The little servant persuaded: "No, son, Yuliu's appearance is average, why should you continue to offend the prince because of her, the prince is your own brother, and he will inherit the palace in the future..."
The little girl was kicked before he finished speaking, "The mother concubine can only be good to me alone, the palace belongs to my son, what does it have to do with him!" If you dare to say it again, you will give this son a, and you will eat something outside the inside. ”
The little guy didn't dare to say anything more.
The master and servant walked under the corridor, Wan Jinlan listened to Xiao Qi complaining all the way, and disrespected Xiao Nianshen in various ways.
In the night, Wan Jinlan was like a vigorous black cat, silently out of the Su Wangfu.
On the second day, Wu Ye was troubled by Xiao Qi again.
Xiao Nianshen inevitably had another quarrel with Xiao Qi, Xiao Nianshen felt that Xiao Qi was annoying enough, so he simply temporarily placed Wu Ye in the house outside. By the time it was settled, it was already dark.
It was dark, dark clouds were gathering overhead, and it felt like rain was going to fall at any moment.
On the corner of the street, Wan Jinlan saw Xiao Nianshen get into the carriage from the door of the house and leave.
Yu Song was not worried that she would go alone, "If the master goes directly to the Pei family, if the grandfather is really killed by the Pei family's calculations, the Pei family wants to do things in Kyoto, thousands of miles away, there must be someone who will do things for her, and it is very likely that the prince of Su will also participate." ”
Wan Jinlan understands this truth, but she really has to study it in detail, once on the river back to Kyoto, she helped the county lord of Kangping and Wu Ye, and once she faintly noticed that Wu Ye had some unspeakable affection for her.
After she returned to Kyoto from Yangzhou, she also heard Brother Zhijing mention that the county lord took Wu Ye through the door of the mansion, vaguely revealing that she wanted to marry her children.
She didn't gamble on the emotions that might have drifted away with the wind a long time ago, but mainly relied on the help and kindness of Jiangshang.
"You're here to watch, if there's a situation, the old rules."
Yu Song is quite helpless, the master loves to do everything himself, as a secret guard, he has become a person who investigates the situation and looks at the wind with her.
There are few mansions arranged by Xiao Nianshen for Wu Ye, and most of them are in the outer courtyard.
The old rule, Wan Jinlan poked through the window paper and looked in, and changed the room if he didn't see anyone.
Before he could find out which room Wu Ye was, there was a sound of birds singing in the streets and alleys outside.
She simply went up to the roof and quietly crouched on it.
It didn't take long for the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, and then it seemed that Xiao Nianshen was speaking: "Go to the outer courtyard and guard." ”
The sound of the door being pushed open.
Next, Wan Jinlan never heard any other movements.
She lay on her spine, moved her body slowly, lifted two tiles in a row, and did not see anyone in the room below, and after a while, she was sweating.
The sky was completely dark.
"Click, click"
It's the sound of raindrops falling on rooftops.
Wan Jinlan's heart was relieved, and she wiped the raindrops that fell on her forehead at will, and with the interference of raindrops, her movements were easier to hide.
He lifted a tile again, put his eyes down, and the sight of it was almost shocking his jaw.
In the past, Xiao Feng had a reputation for not being close to women, and she once suspected that he was good at Longyang.
She had heard about high-ranking officials and aristocrats who liked men, but she couldn't imagine what two men would be like together.
Looking at Xiao Nianshen's appearance of carefully smearing the scars on Wu Ye's body, she was wondering whether Wu Ye's body injury was beaten by Xiao Qi, a bear child, or whether it was made by Xiao Nianshen.
If Wu Ye and Xiao Nianshen had this kind of relationship, could she still rely on the affection she had in the past to find out something from him?
When Wan Jinlan fell into self-doubt, after the medicine was smeared, Wu Ye could be regarded as wearing his clothes completely.
"Zi'an endures for a few more days, and when the weather is warmer, I will take you to the front line, with your talent, you will definitely be able to stand out in front of your father and be reused."
Xiao Nianshen saw that Wu Ye was silent, the corners of his lips hooked up a disapproving smile, and gently smoothed the folds of his front placket before turning around and leaving the house.
Wan Jinlan lay quietly on the roof, his eyes crossed the main ridge, and watched the little guy under the rain curtain with an umbrella to send Xiao Nianshen out of the second door.
The sound of the courtyard door closing, and there was a loud "bang" below.
In the place where Wan Jinlan didn't see it, Xiao Nianshen touched the place next to the hair crown with his dry fingers, which was a little wet, and he squinted and looked back.
Wan Jinlan put his eyes down, and saw that the things on the Duobao Pavilion fell to the ground, and Wu Ye was sitting on his knees with his head buried in his head, his shoulders shaking silently.
Wan Jinlan's heart suddenly settled again.
After another pillar of incense, when Wan Jinlan's body was about to be drenched in the rain, she jumped down silently and pushed the door directly.
Wu Ye lost the road to the imperial examination due to a family change, and his future was zero, and he got acquainted with Xiao Nianshen under such circumstances.
Xiao Nian understands his ambitions very well, and he can always speak to his heart, and after talking a few times, he introduces him as a confidant.
Xiao Nianshen faintly confided in him about the Su Wangfu, he pressed the treasure on him, and wanted to make a big difference, so he left Kyoto with him without hesitation.
What he didn't expect was that on the second day after arriving at King Su's Mansion, after a banquet, he woke up ridiculously on Xiao Nianshen's couch the next morning.
He didn't want to go on like this, but the world was so big that there was no way out for him surnamed Wu.
When Wu Ye fell into deep pain, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and his heart sank, thinking that Xiao Nianshen had returned again.
The moment I walked to the main hall, I was stunned for a moment.
Wan Jinlan's forehead was still dripping with water, and his face was confused, looking extremely embarrassed.
It took a while for Wu Ye to react from his dumbfounded eyes and recognize the person.
"Miss Wan, is that you?"
Wu Ye saw Wan Jinlan wiping his messy face with his sleeve, he looked left and right, but he didn't find a towel.
"How did you end up here?" Wu Ye knew that she and the King of Qi were exiled, and the news of their disappearance on the way to exile also spread back to Kyoto, but he didn't expect to see her here.
Wan Jinlan smiled bitterly, "The world is so big, there is no place for me, I came here today because I asked you." I came to Wu Gongzi with a cheeky face, hoping that Wu Gongzi would see that I had some kindness to you and the county lord of Kangping, and I also hoped that Gongzi could help me. ”
Wu Gongzi looked at her embarrassed appearance, thinking of what happened to the two, and inevitably sighed that they were both fallen people at the end of the world.
Wu Ye gave her a reassuring look, went out, explained that the people who were waiting were not allowed to enter the main courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and closed the door from the inside after entering the main hall.
"I don't know why Miss Wan came? If Wu can help, he will definitely do his best. ”
Wan Jinlan lowered his eyes, "My father died from the poisoning of the former second aunt Lin, can Wu Gongzi know who gave the letter to the Lin family?" ”
Wu Ye had already guessed, but now that his guess came true, he suddenly fell into silence.
Seeing this, Wan Jinlan no longer had to be sure, and asked: "Can you be involved in my father's death?" ”
"I, Wu Ye, swear to heaven that the death of Zhenguo Gong has nothing to do with me."
Nowadays, people respect heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, Wan Jinlan saw him holding two fingers and swearing an oath, there was no trace of emptiness in his eyes, and he had a judgment in his heart.
Wu Ye saw that the corners of her clothes were still dripping, so he went into the inner room and took out a large piece of water and handed it to her.
Wan Jinlan couldn't get along with his body, so he wrapped himself up after taking it.
"You say it has nothing to do with you, I believe you, but can you tell me what you know?"
The rain was falling tightly, and the windows were crackling with the slanting rain.
Wu Ye whispered about what happened before Zhen Guogong was poisoned.
"Before King Su escorted King Guangling into Beijing, King Su's Mansion in Kyoto came from Bingzhou, after King Su entered Beijing, rumors spread in Beijing about Concubine Wan and King Su, I am Xiao Nianshen's staff, and I have also met with people from Bingzhou, by chance, I saw the carriage of the second lady of the Wan family had an accident in Qingyufang, and the figure of the person hurriedly passed by, I didn't take it seriously, but I heard the news that Zhenguo Gong was poisoned two days later"
When Wan Jinlan wanted to ask Xiao Nianshen if she knew, she faintly heard the faint sound of birdsong.
Her complexion changed, she threw it at Wu Ye, pushed open the window and jumped out.
"I'm leaving, you be careful yourself, find a way to erase the traces."
Hurriedly leaving these words, she disappeared into the rain.
Wu Ye thought of something in a flash, and hurriedly put the big gun back in the cabinet indoors, saw the water stains on the ground, quickly went out and drenched in the rain for a while, stepped on the wooden shoes in the rain, and then stepped into the house and stepped on it.
When the busy work was over, when he went out and stood under the eaves, his heart made a "knock" sound in his chest, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Yu Xiao Nianshen, who was holding an umbrella, walked in with the guards.
Wu Ye tried his best to calm himself down, and asked lukewarmly as usual, "How did the prince come back again?" ”
Xiao Nianshen didn't say anything, he went straight into the hall, and saw that the ground of the main hall was a mess, with many watermarks, he squinted his eyes slightly, and pushed open the door of the inner room again, and saw that the things on the Duobao Pavilion fell to the ground, and there was nowhere to put his feet.
Wu Ye's heart was beating hard, and his hands were clenched in his sleeves, "What the hell is the prince here for?" ”
Xiao Nianshen did not speak, but looked at the two rooms connected to the main hall, and after a while, a guard came, saying that the rain was too strong, and there was no trace of anyone around the courtyard.
Wan Jinlan was wearing a strong suit, and he was already very proficient in the posture of escaping, and he would not leave any traces at all when he climbed over the wall, and it was raining, even if he left some traces, it would be difficult to find.
Now that she already knew that her father's death was inseparable from Princess Su's Pei family, of course she had to take the opportunity to take revenge.
Yu Song saw her going in the direction of King Su's Mansion non-stop, and he also knew what she was going to do.
"Master, it's good to let your subordinates take care of this matter, you go out of the city first."
Wan Jinlan shook her head, she didn't feel at ease if she didn't see Pei's eyes closed.
At this time, Xiao Nianshen never expected that someone would rush to Su Wangfu to kill her mother, and he was wondering if Wu Ye had already contacted the people in Kyoto and wanted to leave him.
Wu Ye had a precedent of secretly leaving him after becoming his person, and was chased back by him.
These days in the palace because Xiao Qi is very unhappy, Wu Ye has repeatedly asked to go out to live. He only settled the people today, left with the front foot, and the person in charge of staring at Wu Ye reported the news on the back foot, Wu Ye closed the courtyard door, and there was a faint sound of talking in the room.
He braved the rain and led people all the way back, surrounded the courtyard, and checked inside and out, except for the water traces in the main hall, there was nothing suspicious.
Wu Ye waved everyone away with a cold face, guarding in the outer courtyard, and after the door closed, he held Wu Ye's still trembling hand, "Zi'an, the current relationship between you and me, I don't think you should do anything else without saying goodbye." ”
He looked at Wu Ye fixedly, and his gaze made Wu Ye almost sick.
Wu Ye avoided his eyes, but was forcibly pinched by Xiao Nianshen.
Wu Ye was disgusted by Xiao Nianshen's different feelings for him, but he was also relieved.
He himself was deep in the mud, but he didn't want Wan Jinlan, who was as embarrassed as him, to be noticed by Xiao Nianshen.
He lowered his eyes and forced himself to show his softness, "The prince knows what I want, as long as I do it, Zi'an will not leave the son." ”
Xiao Nian's deep eyes showed a little satisfaction, and he turned to ask after a while: "Where did the water traces in Zi'an's house come from?" ”
Wu Ye had long been prepared to be asked about the water traces, Xiao Nianshen seemed to be caught off guard by the question, but he did not panic.
Wu Ye turned around and said in a low tone, "Zi'an thought that it was better to live like this than to die, but when he pulled the curtain, he didn't tear it off for a long time, Zi Anxin thought, maybe God can't bear me to hang me like this, so I opened the door again and let the rain rain in the courtyard, if I have a cold..."
Xiao Nianshen covered his mouth, his eyes showing shame, "I pushed you tight." ”
Wu Ye let out a sigh, "The prince doesn't have to worry, as long as the prince gives Zi'an what he wants, Zi'an won't leave." ”
When the two of them came and went, Wan Jinlan quietly sneaked into King Su's mansion in the rainy night, and Pei had already fallen asleep at this time.
Wan Jinlan sealed his throat with a knife, Pei Shi didn't even make the slightest sound, and the girl who was keeping vigil outside was snoring under the effect of smoke.
The first offender, Pei Shi, is dead, and the news of Pei's death will come out tomorrow morning at the latest, and the best chance for her and Yu Song to leave Jinyang City is tonight.
The two of them entered the city from the city wall in the southeast corner of Jinyang, and the flying tiger claws were thrown into the two-zhang high city tower, and the two of them could sneak out in a few breaths.
In the early morning of the next day, when Pei was found dead, Wan Jinlan and Yu Song were already sixty miles away from Jinyang.
