Volume 1: The Smoke Festival Chapter 15 The Poor Dagger
Xie Wuyi's eyes flashed.
His Royal Highness King Yan, have you seen the poor dagger?
Although she was very grateful to Xiao Wei for protecting Fan Keyu before, this was in Zeyang, and he was not a pig farmer with crooked hats and clothes, so naturally there was no reason to indulge her anymore.
As long as she is still a criminal in the court, he will marry her to the mansion and still hold her death hole.
Xie Wuyi smiled slightly, pretending to be ignorant and asked Xiao Wei, "What did Your Highness say?" The concubine doesn't understand. ”
"Ha, I said it casually, maybe I drank too much wine just now and was a little dizzy." Xiao Wei yawned disapprenorantly, covering the heavy emotions in his eyes, and puffed out his cheeks again, "But I don't allow you to call yourself a concubine, you are the wife of this king, the wife of Ming Media is marrying!" ”
Xiao Wei said, got up and walked to the door and slapped his hands twice, Xie Wuyi was puzzled and stood up. Two maids walked in from outside, one petite and the other tall and sturdy. Xie Wuyi couldn't help but slander, Xiao Wei is really a family of his own, Feng Da's personality is very different, but he didn't expect even the maid to be the same.
"Chunni, read the gift list of each family to the princess." Xiao Wei waved his hand and ordered, "The lady Hua brought by the princess is old, and you and Yunshang will help more in the affairs of the house in the future." ”
The small and delicate Chunni Fu Body agreed, she was originally a maid on Xiao Wei Zhuangzi, and this time she was specially transferred back to the palace. Chunni unfolded the roster and read out the congratulatory gifts of each family one by one.
Xiao Wei's wedding is a grand event in Zeyang, Queen Lu rewarded the famous Three Kingdoms of Qi Biluo clothing and books, Concubine Shu sent Xiao Wei's nurse Ye Niang personally sent a complete set of head jewelry and a pair of jade bracelets, Qi Wangfu sent a set of nine rings, Chu Wangfu sent ginseng supplements, and Zhufu sent a sleeve crossbow......
Xie Wuyi was a little absent-minded, and he was stunned when he heard Zhu Fu. So the brother Zhu Langxing said that day was Xiao Wei, and the "beauty who looks like a fairy" in his mouth is...... She? The corners of Xie Wuyi's mouth twitched, which strand of her hair could be associated with the word "beauty"?
Seeing friends and acquaintances, Xiao Wei is already ridiculous, and he can't complain that Zhu Langxing is unreliable.
Xiao Wei saw that Xie Wuyi was distracted, thinking that she didn't like these congratulatory gifts, so he first asked Chunni and Yunshang to step back and took Xie Wuyi behind the screen.
"If you don't like those things, just put them in the warehouse, it's okay, Chunni will take care of it." Xiao Wei patted the big box on the ground, and smiled a little apprehensively, "This is a makeup gift from my mother and eldest sister on behalf of your eldest sister, because it was too late to send it directly to me, you...... Open it up and take a look? ”
The "eldest sister" in Xiao Wei's mouth is Xiao Yun, the princess of Gaoyang born to Concubine De, because of Concubine De's early death, Xiao Yun was fostered under Concubine Shu's knees since she was a child, so she and Xiao Wei are as close as biological sisters and brothers.
Xie Wuyi only felt strange when he heard this, Xiao Yun was a princess, what kind of makeup did she add to a princess? Suspicious, she opened the box and saw that it was full of account books and manuals.
"Didn't I give you Zhuangzi as a dowry before," Xiao Wei explained beside him, "I'm afraid that Xie Fu will be cheaper, so I have to hand over these account details to you personally." ”
Looking at the thick account book in the box, Xie Wuyi's heart became more and more bottomless.
What is he calculating in this way?
Or was it just a gentle knife he used to let her let her down?
Betraying the "hue" for a wanted criminal, His Royal Highness is really open-minded.
Xie Wuyi opened the scroll and suddenly found that there was a box nested underneath. She opened the lid and saw a small "flower" in the lower left corner of the lid.
There was a "boom" in his ears, like a knife splitting an axe, and Xie Wuyi couldn't speak for a long time.
It was her family's box.
When she was a child, Hua Feidu pointed to the box more than once and told her that it was the dowry left to her by Hua Mi, and she would follow her for the rest of her life.
Qiao's mansion was raided, all belongings were confiscated, and she didn't expect to recover these things. But when this dowry box appeared in front of him again, the fear in Xie Wuyi's heart overwhelmed the emotion.
It's not that she can't imagine how much effort Xiao Wei has to put into finding this box, and she also returns it to her in the name of Xiao Yun, thinking about her everywhere. What she was afraid of was that Xiao Wei was so good to her that she couldn't accept it, and she couldn't afford to pay it back at all.
What's more, she couldn't guess what his purpose was. Aside from Qiao Chun's case, what else does he have to do with her? It can't be that the lard is blinded and really takes a fancy to her, right?
In the village of Broken Nose, it has been less than three days since the meeting and the separation.
Xie Wuyi used the box as a cover, tightly clutched his left forearm, and forcibly endured the suffocation in his chest and the trembling on his body.
But the smoke could save her life, but it couldn't take her out of the water.
How can someone like her hope be reborn?
Xie Wuyi could only force himself to keep taking deep breaths until he finally suppressed those chaotic thoughts. When she got up again, her face was as calm as water.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Wuyi folded his hands in front of him and curtsied.
Xiao Wei's eyes lit up, "Do you like it?" ”
Unexpectedly, Xie Wuyi talked about him left and right, and did not accept Xiao Wei's stubble, "Thank you, Your Highness, for marrying me, a woman with a bad reputation." ”
"It's for this...... Xiao Wei's gaze moved down, landing on the left sleeve that she had just crumpled.
Is she worried about being a shrine maiden, or is she worried about him?
It is true that more and more people know that Xie Wuyi is a witch, and now Si Wu is in retreat in Zhao Jintai, in case he suddenly goes out of the customs to demolish her, or the emperor decides to stop believing in Wu Jin, not only Xie Wuyi, but even Xiao Wei's life will be gone.
But in fact, Xiao Wei knew that this kind of thing would not happen, as long as the Dayu royal family was still there, Wu Jin would always exist. The people may not believe in the emperor, but they will definitely believe in the sky, and with Wu Jin, no one can shake the rule of the Xiao family. This is also the reason why Xiao Wei never disdains to worship Wu Jin, opening his mouth to buy and sell closed business, which is simply blasphemous.
However, seeing that Xie Wuyi was more or less concerned about himself, the corners of Xiao Wei's mouth couldn't help but bend.
"You don't have to be afraid, Da Yu will always believe in Wu Jin, and Si Wu will also believe in you." Xiao Wei comforted, "As long as you are by my side, except for a few old antiques of Yu who take 'the sun and moon and mountains have their own walking, how can anyone know and change' as their family motto, no one will point fingers at Princess Yan." ”
Xie Wuyi was just about to respond, but he heard Xiao Wei say meaningfully: "But it's better to be careful, it's not good to be too tired in the middle of the night." ”
Well, every time Xie Wuyi is a little moved, he will be woken up by a basin of cold water. Xiao Wei now mentions her night visit to Chu's mansion, and it seems that he pretended to be drunk that day.
not only pretended to be drunk, but also took the opportunity to take advantage of her!
provoked such a Tai Sui, she really poured eight lifetimes of mold.
Xie Wuyi snorted coldly in his heart, and continued to look at his nose and nose.
The two stood opposite each other, and the room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground except for the crackling of candles.
After a long time, Xiao Wei bent down with his hands on his knees, "Xiaoyi, it's getting late, why don't you ...... Shall we rest? ”
Xie Wuyi's breath stagnated, nodded stiffly, and let Xiao Wei pull her arm and help her lie on the bed.
The dragon and phoenix candles were about to burn until dawn, Xiao Wei put down the curtain and trapped the two of them in this small world. He sat beside Xie Wuyi, one hand on her inner shoulder, looking at her steadily.
For some reason, Xiao Wei was a little afraid.
I'm afraid that Huami's relics didn't surprise her, but brought estrangement.
The room was silent, the temperature in the tent was getting higher and higher, and Xie Wuyi's face burned all of a sudden, that is, it was dim here, and Xiao Wei didn't notice it. Ten fingers were clasped under the quilt, almost spasmodic, and she closed her eyes as if she were at home.
Isn't it just a round room?
Get out!
Xiao Weiqiang's self-suppressed breathing was getting closer and closer, and Xie Wuyi's heartbeat was like a drum.
No matter how much she broke into the sea of fire under the knife mountain, she was still a little nervous about the candle night in the cave room that she had never experienced.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Dada, are you looking for death?"
Xiao Wei was so angry that he pulled open the curtain suddenly, and Xie Wuyi suddenly relaxed his body. She stared at the dragon and phoenix candles flickering in the firelight outside the tent for a while, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from the corners of her forehead.
Feng Da outside the door was so angry that he jumped to his feet, "Cheng, you're not a man!" You just knew that Your Highness would be angry so I asked me to carry the black pot for you! ”
"Come in."
The two of them tidied up their clothes and sat on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Weicai commanded in a deep voice.
"Your Highness...... Good morning......" Knowing that he had ruined the good things of his masters, Feng Da obediently knelt down against the wall, staring at his navel and replied, "That, Your Highness...... Message from the palace...... The lady lady suddenly fell ill. ”
Xiao Wei clenched his hands tightly, and Xie Wuyi was also surprised. I was fine a few hours ago, but why did I suddenly get sick?
After asking a few questions, Feng Da couldn't say clearly, only that Concubine Shu convulsed again, and said things that others couldn't understand. Xiao Wei only felt bad when he heard it, he turned his head and wanted to appease Xie Wuyi, after all, it was a bit unkind to leave the princess into the palace on the wedding night.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wuyi opened his mouth first: "I'll be with His Highness." ”
"Okay."
Xiao Wei was grateful for her understanding, and he was not in the mood to play poor again, "I'll go to the palace first, and you can follow in the carriage later." ”
"No, I can ride a horse."
As she spoke, Xie Wuyi had already grabbed a robe from the shelf, she took a hairband to hold her hair, and followed Xiao Wei out the door.
According to the previous observation, Queen Lu was born in a family, and was the mother of Xiao Wu, the third prince of Qi, and the sister of Lu Yunji, the minister of power.
Besides, the marriage has been completed, and at this juncture, the less people pay attention to her, the better.
Xiao Wei and Xie Wuyi rode their horses one after the other, and quickly entered the palace. The chamberlain was already waiting outside the door, leading the two to Concubine Shu's dormitory.
At that time, Princess Xiao Yun of Gaoyang was also there, Xiao Wei only hurriedly arched his hand and picked up an imperial doctor. But the imperial doctor was hesitant, saying that the cause could not be diagnosed for the time being, and he could only apply needles to relieve the symptoms first.
As soon as he heard this, Xie Wuyi immediately frowned, if the cause could not be found, he would administer an injection, this kind of person could also be an imperial doctor? She stood behind Xiao Wei, and saw that Concubine Shu was convulsive, her face was red and short of breath, and her hand was constantly grasping something in the air, and the maid next to her couldn't hold it down.
Xie Wuyi looked at the older maid who was guarding Concubine Shu's side, she was dressed plainly, and she was wearing a gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her wrist, which should be his nurse Ye Niang, as Xiao Wei said. Xie Wuyi always felt that there was an indescribable awkwardness in the hall, and just as he was about to step forward to ask, he listened to the attendant's loud report:
"The queen has arrived!"
The cuffs moved slightly, and Xie Wuyi was pulled to kneel by Xiao Wei. After a burst of rustling footsteps, Queen Lu came to the palace, and the elegant lotus jade pendant on her waist sounded. She glanced at the sick concubine, looked around at the kneeling people in the hall, and finally fixed her gaze on Xie Wuyi.
"Concubine Shu is fine during the day, why did she suddenly get sick?"
On the surface, Empress Lu was asking the imperial doctor, but didn't the meaning of her words mean that Xiao Wei's newly married princess was ominous and brought disaster to Concubine Shu?
Xie Wuyi moved his fingers, but was gently held by Xiao Wei.
Although they haven't been together for a long time, the two of them have experienced a lot of things, and Xiao Wei has long been aware of Xie Wuyi's small actions. When she unconsciously moves her fingers, it means that her patience is running out.
Xiao Wei replied: "Queen Mother, the mother concubine was sick before the son returned to the palace, and today may be too tired, please don't blame the imperial doctor." ”
Queen Lu was stunned, and when she saw Xiao Wei clear Xie Wuyi in a few words, she didn't say much, she only smiled: "King Yan is right, it's good to have you by Concubine Shu's side often, she can also be more comfortable." ”
This is said harshly, who doesn't know that Xiao Wei stayed outside for two years before returning to the palace? Xie Wuyi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wei quietly, he didn't expect his days in the palace to be so tired, no wonder he liked to live in Broken Nose Village.
Raising pigs is much more comfortable than serving people.
It's really a scripture that is difficult to read...... Thinking of this, Xie Wuyi's mood was a little complicated.
"The imperial doctor can't diagnose it, and Concubine Shu's illness can't be delayed forever." Empress Lu smiled leisurely, "According to the palace, it is better to ask Si Wu to come out." After all, he is proficient in witchcraft, and he is kind and charitable, and he has repaired Zhaojin Terrace so that the people have a place to worship, and he has taught the people of Zeyang to dig wells and get water from door to door, and the palace really appreciates him. ”
Xie Wuyi was about to straighten up and reply when he heard this, but Xiao Wei hurriedly grabbed her, frowned and signaled her not to talk too much. But Xie Wuyi saw that Concubine Shu's condition was urgent, not to mention that Queen Lu pointed out Wu Jin, obviously aiming at herself.
I don't know if I really ask for a witch, wouldn't her situation be very dangerous?
didn't have time to think about it, Xie Wuyi opened his mouth and said:
"The queen mother, the son is not talented, please give it a try."
