Volume 1: Cangyan Festival Chapter 30 Ziqiao
Cheng Yi arched his hand to Xiao Wei and Xie Wuyi, and replied:
General Zhu Xiao quarreled with Chu Gongzi for a long time, and he endured it without doing anything, and was finally arrested by General Zhu, and the old general also made amends to Chu Gongzi in person. Chu Gongzi later stayed in Wanchun Building and asked Miss Ziqiao to accompany the wine. β
Cheng Yi's speech has always been concise and to the point, but Xie Wuyi has some extraneous meanings.
Zhu Lang is used to having fun, and everyone in Zeyang knows about it, but Zhu Bojun will never come forward in person. This time it is abnormal, I am afraid that it is not only because of maintaining the family style.
Xiao Yu once said that Zhu Bojun is kind to Chu Yufeng. So, is this his attitude towards the Chu family?
As for Chu Han, who left Ziqiao by his side......
Xie Wuyi waited for the following, but when he saw Cheng Yi, he only pursed his lips and lowered his head, as if he didn't want to go on.
She glanced at Xiao Wei and saw that he didn't mean to stop him, so she asked, "Didn't you continue to follow?" β
"Followed, but ......"
Cheng was speechless, his gaze quickly glanced over Xie Wuyi, and noticed that Xiao Weizheng was pinching the wind chimes on the carriage and looking at him with interest.
"How?" Xiao Wei propped his hand on the window and said with a smile, "I learned badly with Dada, and I didn't even dare to reply to the princess's words?" β
Feng Da, who was driving the car outside, heard this, and hurriedly pulled his throat and howled twice. Cheng's face turned red, and it took a while before he replied: "Your Highness forgives your sins, but your subordinates don't dare." It's just that...... They are moving too much, and their subordinates are really ......"
Xie Wuyi understood the reason why he was silent, and she suddenly felt that it was indeed a little embarrassing to let a solid-eyed man like Cheng Yi listen to the foot of the wall, so she couldn't help but cover her lips and cough lightly.
"You've been fooled."
"Still not Dadarling."
Xie Wuyi and Xiao Wei spoke at the same time, and the two glanced at each other and looked away at the same time.
Cheng's face was still red, and he looked at the two like-minded masters in shock, still puzzled.
"He found you," Xie Wuyi patiently explained, "and he did it on purpose knowing that you were eavesdropping, otherwise it would be insulting for him to make such a big move." β
Seeing that Xie Wuyi actually said these words with a blushing face and a heartbeat, Cheng Yi was suddenly deflated, and sighed that his Taoism was still too shallow. He hurriedly stepped back a few minutes and knelt in the open space in the car.
"The subordinates are incompetent, please forgive the princess."
Xie Wuyi was not used to others groveling to him so much, so he stretched out his hand to pull him up. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wei smiled faintly, "He didn't do his errand, so you can accept this gift." β
Seeing that Cheng Cheng also admitted his mistake, Xie Wuyi waited for him to finish pleading, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Yi's futile return was beyond Xie Wuyi's expectations, she only wasted a great opportunity, and until she returned home and finished dinner, the whole person was still happy.
Xie Wuyi leaned on the trunk in the back garden, quietly watching the rippling stratus clouds in the water, and the bleak light hidden behind.
When she is bored, she always likes to be alone.
The night was dewy and heavy, Hua Feidu was not in the house, and Chunni was guarding in the distance, in case Xie Wuyi had any orders. Seeing that it had been a long time, Chunni was just about to persuade him, but he was stopped by Xiao Wei. He untied his cloak and stepped forward with a light step.
Xie Wuyi was thinking about things, but this did not delay her from noticing that there was movement behind her. Before Xiao Wei's hand touched her shoulder, Xie Wuyi had already bent his fingers into claws, locking his throat.
Xiao Wei didn't fight back, and when Xie Wuyi saw that it was him, he immediately relented.
"Why is Your Highness silent?"
There was a hint of blame in her words, as if she was afraid that she would hurt him if she moved too fast and too hard. Xiao Wei was in a good mood, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and gently draped the cloak in his hand on Xie Wuyi's body.
"Xiao Yi is so handsome," Xiao Wei leaned to the side and laughed in his trademark tone, "so that the husband has no power to fight back." β
Xie Wuyi was too lazy to have a verbal dispute with Xiao Wei, and he couldn't talk about him anyway. She gathered her cloak and looked at the water instead.
The layers of clouds dispersed at some point, and the moonlight sprinkled down without hesitation, piling up at the corners of Xie Wuyi's eyes and eyebrows, as if reflecting the frost and snow of Qing Lingling.
The thin mist of sorrow fell in Xiao Wei's eyes, which made his heart messy.
He naturally knew why Xie Wuyi was bothered, so he asked gently, "Xiaoyi, what are you going to do?" β
Xie Wuyi took a deep breath. Chu Han went to find Ziqiao, and he will definitely take action next. Cheng's heart is too real and easy to be deceived, and Feng Da is not very careful, so the best way at the moment is for her to follow it personally. Anyway, there is a lot of contact between the three sects and the nine streams, and Xie Wuyi is not afraid of this kind of occasion.
As if guessing her thoughts, Xiao Wei frowned and stopped, "I'll go." β
Xie Wuyi shook his head, "Their goal is me, or is it better for me to go." She thought for a moment and added, "Your Highness, believe me, I can do this kind of thing better than you. β
"You" not only include Xiao Wei, but also everyone in the Yanwang Mansion, of course Xiao Wei understands.
But it's one thing to understand, it's another to be reluctant to let her take risks.
Taking advantage of the moonlight in the water, Xiao Wei couldn't help but take a step forward and approach Xie Wuyi, and was about to speak, but heard her say again: "Besides, I promised Ah Nian that I would help him find someone." β
Xiao Wei clenched his fists all of a sudden, and his gaze on Xie Wuyi's body fluctuated.
Ah Nian.
He hated hearing the name.
It's special, really annoying.
The evening breeze swept through the treetops, Xiao Wei propped one hand on the trunk, and the other slowly wrapped around the back of Xie Wuyi's head, and Xie Wuyi's entire body was surrounded by his void. She raised her eyes slightly, and saw that Xiao Wei was lowering his head intently, his deep breath mixed with his usual incense, gently curling and inevitably rushing over, getting closer and closer.
Maybe it was because the breath was too clear, and Xie Wuyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She keenly sniffed that Xiao Wei was as unhappy as she was after returning home from Pinglin Garden.
However, Xiao Wei didn't make any other excessive moves, and after a few breaths, he withdrew. Xiao Weipi pinched a dead leaf without smiling and turned it around a few times lightly.
"The leaves are yellow, and they don't look good."
Xie Wuyi glared at him speechlessly, this person was really outstanding when he got sick.
Early the next morning, Xie Wuyi changed into men's clothes and took Cheng Yi to drink tea on the second floor of a teahouse not far from Chu's mansion, and taught him how to stare at people quietly by the way. Otherwise, this time he just swooped down on Ziqiao, if Chu Han found a man next time, wouldn't Cheng Yi be blind in the eyes?
According to Xie Wuyi's train of thought, she originally wanted to stay outside Wanchun Tower directly, or did Xiao Wei remind her that Chu Han was cunning, in case he asked Ziqiao to be elsewhere today, wouldn't she miss it again? Xie Wuyi felt that Xiao Wei was reasonable, so he chose the location of his stalking near the Chu Mansion.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Chu Han really went out again. Xie Wuyi glanced at Cheng with a smile, and the two jumped out of the back window and quietly followed behind Chu Han.
Chu Han came to Wanchun Tower, and asked Zi Qiao to serve by name as usual. Xie Wuyi was outside observing for a while, then slipped through the window and slipped into the next door, using a dagger to cut a small hole in the wall behind the tent, and holding the dagger against the wall. Cheng Yi followed Xie Wuyi in the same way, and the voice next door was really much clearer.
Chu Han next door hadn't said a few words, and the intermittent wheezing overshadowed the waves, Xie Wuyi was unmoved, and calmly recognized the words mixed with the strange voices.
ββ¦β¦ Forget it last time, no matter how bad it is, I will definitely make your life worse than death! β
"He's alive, and you think you're so lucky?"
"What's the call? Oh, no one will hear it......"
Chu Han looked crazy, but Zi Qiao just whimpered and cried, and he couldn't bear to hear it. He was sweating all over his head, and secretly looked at Xie Wuyi, seeing that her expression was a little calmer than at the beginning.
is really worthy of being the princess chosen by His Royal Highness, and her determination is so strong......
I don't know how long it took, but the rough waves next door finally stopped. Xie Wuyi withdrew his dagger and nodded at Cheng. Cheng Yi bowed his hand slightly, then left through the window and continued to follow Chu Han.
When Chu Han walked away, Xie Wuyi smoothed out the holes in the wall and tidied up his clothes. When she went out, she seemed to smell a flash of familiar medicine, Xie Wuyi paused, and pushed straight open the door next door.
There was a very strong incense in the room, and Ziqiao had just put on her coat, and before she had time to clean up her hair and the mess in the house, she only chuckled when she heard the door knock.
"Your Highness is so interested, you just got married and came to find the girl. But last time, I said goodbye, and the slave family was also worried about you. β
Ziqiao was pouring tea, her sideburns were messy, and her half-exposed shoulders were covered with red marks. Now that she spoke, there was no shyness in her voice, no sadness, only mockery.
Xie Wuyi looked at Ziqiao quietly and didn't say a word.
The last time Ziqiao said, it should be the wrong eye that Xie Wuyi saw Xiao Wei passing by. It seems that Xiao Wei not only knows Ziqiao, but even her bottom has already been touched.
After hearing that there was no response for a long time, Zi Qiao couldn't help but laugh again, "Your Highnessβ"
She turned around and saw that it was Xie Wuyi, and the second half of the sentence stopped in her mouth.
"How are you?"
The consternation on his face was fleeting, Zi Qiao adjusted her demeanor, lowered her head and walked in front of Xie Wuyi, "Why did the princess come to such a place?" β
She held the teacup in her hand, her narrow eyes curled and smiled sheepishly.
Xie Wuyi glanced at the teacup and didn't take it, only staring at Ziqiao expressionlessly. Zi Qiao was uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Last time in Li Shanren's hexagram stall, thank you to the princess for relieving the slave family." It's just that the slave family has no eyes, and they don't know the princess, and they almost hurt you in court. β
Seeing that she took the initiative to bring up Li Shanren's case, Xie Wuyi's heart was slightly relieved.
"Why didn't you commit perjury to the end?"
Zi Qiao's wrist flicked, and a few drops of tea splashed on the back of Xie Wuyi's hand. She was just about to wipe it with a handkerchief, but Xie Wuyi directly blocked it and repeated it.
"Answer me."
Zi Qiao stepped back, put the teacup back on the table, and said, "What did the princess say?" The slave family doesn't understand. β
"No, you know." Xie Wuyi said in a deep voice, "Li Shanren's hexagram stall is not close to Wanchun Tower, even if you run back, it will take some time." Whether it's in time or not, the location of your room has an unobstructed view of Dingtou Lane, so if you are really there, you can clearly see whether I killed or not. β
When Zi Qiao heard this, her body suddenly stiffened. But she still kept her head down and combed the ends of her hair over and over again.
"If you're asked to prove that I killed someone, you can say it directly. But you're only halfway there, and even though you've helped me, you've certainly offended your master, haven't you? β
Zi Qiao was silent for a long time, and Fang smiled: "The princess thinks too much, the slave family went to court for the first time, and saw the princess and several highnesses, she was too nervous, and she might have spoken out of order." β
Thinking too much?
Xie Wuyi half-narrowed his eyes and walked a few steps closer, and was about to continue to ask questions, but Ziqiao suddenly turned around and pulled out a sharp hairpin from his sleeve and stabbed it at Xie Wuyi's eyes.
Ziqiao's attack was worse than tickling for Xie Wuyi, she stood in place and waved her fingers like the wind, easily brushing Ziqiao's hand away. Seeing that Ziqiao still refused to give up, Xie Wuyi twisted slightly, forcing Ziqiao to take a few steps back and hit the corner of the table.
Xie Wuyi threw the golden hairpin back to Ziqiao's feet, and then shook the hem of his clothes and squinted at her.
"Little sister, how dare you do it to me?" Xie Wuyi snorted coldly, "Do you think I can't see your tricks?" Chu Han's whereabouts were originally deliberately exposed to the Yan Wangfu, and he was to cover you to kill him. β
Zi Qiao, who was exposed, was ashamed and angry, and blurted out: "Since you know that you dare to come, are you really not afraid of death?" β
"Chu Han really wants to kill King Yan...... Xie Wuyi, who succeeded in his plan, raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I, the little fish who 'voluntarily surrendered', is beyond my strength?" β
Ziqiao was speechless for a while, and his face turned white in an instant.
Xie Wuyi originally thought that Chu Han used Ziqiao to prevent her from investigating the case, but he didn't expect Chu Han to use her heart to assassinate Xiao Wei, it seems that the water of the Chu family is indeed very deep.
The only thing that Xie Wuyi doesn't understand now is that even if Chu Han really gets rid of Xiao Wei, what benefits can he get?
What kind of person is Xiao Wei, who wants to attract people to kill him again and again?
Ziqiao stubbornly pinned her head, as if looking at Xie Wuyi could kill her. Xie Wuyi looked at Ziqiao condescendingly, peeling off all her disguises.
"It's a pity, King Yan can't leave on official business." Xie Wuyi approached step by step, and said coldly, "He entrusted me to meet you, ah no, it's the old man who came to visit us, Sister Lan Shu." β
