Volume 1: Cangyan Sacrifice Chapter 38 The Heart of a Thief
Ghost Village?
Xiao Wei frowned when he heard this word, and Xie Wuyi looked at Feng Da in confusion.
"Yes," Feng Da cupped his cheeks and said listlessly, "Your Highness still remembers that his subordinates used to have a little brother Dong who often drank together?" He just heard that Jiangnanzhuang was haunted and wanted to go on an expedition with a few brothers, but he never came back, and he couldn't even find the body......"
Xie Wuyi's heart moved. There are no ghosts and gods in this world, it's just that she knows more than ordinary people know, just like she knows the mechanism, so she won't be deceived by the trick; is also like Xiao Wei can see people's hearts clearly, so he doesn't believe in Wu Jin.
However, although the ghosts themselves are fake, the names of ghosts and gods can be used by people to conceal many truths, such as-
An underground dark room that no one dares to break into.
Xie Wuyi and Xiao Wei glanced at each other, confirming this guess from his knowing eyes.
"Your Highness, I want to ......"
"Nope."
Seeing that Xiao Wei bluntly rejected his proposal to visit Jiangnanzhuang, Xie Wuyi pursed his lips, pulled his sleeve and whispered flattery: "Let's discuss?" ”
She deliberately pretended to be pleasing to her eyes, and even her hair was tied with only a hairband, and a strand of uncollected hair went down her slender and white neck into the neckline, and Xiao Wei was stunned.
Before being carried away by stacks of heat waves, Xiao Wei opened his eyes and pretended not to hear his irregular heartbeat.
"It's not negotiable." He replied firmly, "Your injuries are not healed, don't toss around." ”
Seeing that it was useless to grind and hard bubbles, Xie Wuyi's face suddenly turned cold. She knew that Xiao Wei was a person, and it would be difficult to turn back if he made up his mind. hated him for being so obedient in Woxuezhuang, but he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. Xie Wuyi was too lazy to continue to wrestle with Xiao Wei, turned his head and returned to the bedroom without saying a word, lying on the bed and lifting Erlang's legs.
After staying up all night, and now her head is on the pillow, she is really a little sleepy. Xie Wuyi turned sideways and examined the various injuries on his body. Curiously, despite the fever for several days, the injury to her right shoulder did not worsen.
Not an inflamed wound?
She laughed twice self-deprecatingly. Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei, you also indirectly killed the thirty-four people in Wanchun Building, why, now that the real murderer has been caught, you have untied the knot so easily?
Are you much taller than Fan Lanshuqing?
Xie Wuyi hugged himself and kept stroking the smoke on his left forearm, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
In a daze, Xie Wuyi saw a lot of people, one was Qiao Chun who reminded her not to worry, another was Xie Jiuniang who thanked her for giving her home, and another was Tijiang who said that she was about to return from a trip.
They talked eloquently, arguing so much that Xie Wuyi's mind was dizzy. In the chaotic crowd, the last one to appear was Ji Lizhu, who turned against the light and sneered maliciously at Xie Wuyi.
"Miss Xie, did you forget the gift I gave you?"
Gift?
Xie Wuyi was stunned, as if something was going to cross the back of her head.
"What a little girl who doesn't learn anything." Ji Lizhu leaned in front of Xie Wuyi's face and said charmingly, "I haven't even read Du Mu's poems, your father will be very sad, right?" ”
A thunderclap exploded in her ears, and Xie Wuyi suddenly remembered what Ji Lizhu read to her when she went to redeem the cat's eye ring-
Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind. There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.
At that time, she was nauseated enough, and she just wanted to escape from this demon as soon as possible, and now that she thinks about it, isn't the title of this poem "Jiangnan Spring"?
Jiangnanzhuang, Jiangnanchun......
Xie Wuyi opened his eyes suddenly, and the placket of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat. She looked at Xiao Wei sitting beside her, her heart was tumbling with turbulent waves, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
If Ji Lizhu's words have a credibility of one in ten thousand, wouldn't Jiangnanzhuang really have a problem?
Even if it's a trap, she should try her best.
Xie Wuyi took in a hard breath and exhaled as calmly as he could. Unexpectedly, the scrap of paper she stumbled upon from the bottom of the well in Woxuezhuang opened a door by accident.
Xiao Wei saw that Xie Wuyi was silent, thinking that she was still unhappy that she would not let her go to Jiangnanzhuang, so she hurriedly broke her fingers one by one and tightly grasped the quilt.
"What's the matter, you're still angry with me?" Xiao Wei rubbed Xie Wuyi's palm affectionately, and said with a smile, "Okay, Xiaoyi, I have already asked Chunni to pack up and go to Jinxiuzhuang, she will explore the road first, and I will accompany you in two days." ”
Jinxiuzhuang is one of the few Zhuangzi that Xiao Wei gave to Xie Wuyi, and it is only half an hour's journey away from Jiangnanzhuang.
Xie Wuyi withdrew his hand and got up and sat on the small couch. She looked at the sky and didn't expect that she had slept all day.
"Why didn't Your Highness say it just now? Anyway, I have to let Hua Niang follow, Chunni ...... alone"
Chunni looked thin and small, blushing as soon as she spoke, and asked a weak little girl to explore the so-called "ghost village", which Xiao Wei could figure out.
However, Xiao Wei just turned his back to Xie Wuyi and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Chunni is originally taking care of Zhuangzi." Besides, Mrs. Hua may be targeted, and no one will suspect that Chunni will go. ”
Xie Wuyi vaguely felt that Xiao Wei had not finished speaking, but after waiting for a while, there was still no follow-up. She took a sip of tea and sighed, "I'll go by myself, won't the two of you be too conspicuous?" ”
"You're wrong."
Xiao Wei walked over step by step, propped himself on the back of the couch, and wrapped Xie Wuyi between his arms.
"Two people together are not noticeable."
The sun had set in the west, and the afterglow of the dusk poured in along the window lattice, warming Xie Wuyi's back. Xiao Wei's deep voice fell into her ears, and she raised her head and looked at him quietly.
If he was really her husband, this would be the most flawless face she could have in her life.
It's a pity......
That's it.
Xiao Wei also lowered his eyelashes and approached Xie Wuyi unconsciously. After being sick for a few days, she was so thin that her cheekbones were more prominent, and only a pair of eyes that were as clear as snow had not been contaminated with half of the haze.
So Xiao Wei once again regretted why he was joking so close to her, so close that he was already dizzy and couldn't get out at all.
Just want to be closer, a little closer......
Xie Wuyi naturally understood what Xiao Wei meant, whether it was in the palace or Zhuangzi, it was most normal for the husband and wife to go in and out together.
It's not a big deal to make a play, she doesn't mind pretending to be a loving couple with him in front of outsiders, but has Xiao Wei been a little out of proportion recently? Almost subconsciously, Xie Wuyi put the smoke against Xiao Wei's back, and said unhurriedly:
"Your Highness, you're getting too close."
Xiao Wei turned a deaf ear to the light tickling touch behind him, only the color of his pupils was dyed with a touch of blazing. After a while, Xiao Wei said in a dumb voice: "Xiaoyi, we've been married for so long, do we still have one thing to do?" ”
Xie Wuyi's breathing tightened suddenly.
I thought he had forgotten about it, but I didn't expect him to bring it up.
Sure enough, he is a thief-hearted man.
For some reason, Xie Wuyi was a little flustered, like a kitten flicking its fluffy tail, scratching her heart one by one.
"It's still bright."
After inexplicably replying to a sentence, Xie Wuyi suddenly woke up, so angry that he wanted to bite his tongue. What did she do with Xiao Wei talking to her?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wei smiled more and more brightly, "This can only be done during the day." ”
Are you okay?
Xie Wuyi was a little annoyed, a chill flashed across his eyes, but his face burned without warning. She hated this feeling of embarrassment, and was about to give him some color to see, when she heard Xiao Wei smack her lips and said in a long voice: "Xiaoyi, what do you want?" As a husband, I am thinking that you and I have not returned to Ning after being married for so long, why, if it is not the daughter of the Xie family, she has really forgotten the Xie family? ”
Yes, Xiao Wei in Jingzhao Yin Mansion said to Xie Xuan that he wanted to return to Ning, but as a result, from Pinglin Yuan to Woxue Village, accidents happened one after another, and Xie Wuyi really forgot about the Xie family outside the clouds. But......
Can she blame her for being crooked?
Xiao Wei, can you explain it next time!
With a big red face, Xie Wuyi didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Wei anymore, and shook the smoke with his left hand. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Ah Nian standing at the door, neither advancing nor retreating. Looking at his unnatural expression, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time.
Xie Wuyi's heart moved slightly, she inexplicably had an illusion, Xiao Wei deliberately teased her because she knew that Ah Nian was here.
What is he suffering from?
"Ah Nian, come in."
When Xiao Wei heard this, the corners of his lips raised slightly, he let go of Xie Wuyi, and sat down next to her, with his arm on the armrest. Ah Nian didn't dare to look at Xiao Wei, lowered his head and rubbed a few steps in Xie Wuyi's direction, before he whispered: "Princess, can I go out and ask her for a doctor?" Madame Flowers said she was sick......"
The "she" in Ah Nian's language is Fan Lanshu, and after returning home, Hua Feidu checked her body. Although Xie Wuyi didn't ask, he knew that it wouldn't be good, a place like Wanchun Building was too dirty for a girl after all.
Xiao Wei looked at Ah Nian without saying a word, but Xie Wuyi took a sip of tea, and only after suppressing Xia Cai's panic did he say lightly: "Hua Niang will cure the disease, and so will Yunshang." ”
The implication is that Ah Nian doesn't need to go outside to ask for a doctor at all.
Fan Lanshu is a criminal family on the books, and it is already a risk for Xiao Wei to leave her in the palace. And Xie Wuyi deliberately said no words, all out of the suspicion that lingered in her heart.
She still thinks that Ah Nian is hiding a secret.
Not only is his almost paranoid obsession with orchids, but the cat's eye mark that Ji Lizhu scratches in the corner is also really abnormal. The palace is heavily guarded, how did Ji Lizhu leave a mark without being discovered?
Two years ago, under the thunderous wrath of the emperor, how could Ah Nian escape from Zeyang? Ji Lizhu knows so much about the military rations escort case, could it be that he saved Ah Nian?
In other words, Ji Lizhu and Fan Lanshu have deals, why is it impossible to find Ah Nian?
Ji Lizhu is an iron plate that cannot be broken or boiled, and at this critical moment, Xie Wuyi can only firmly control Ah Nian and cannot let him become a variable.
Xie Wuyi's refusal made Ah Nian stunned for a while, she obviously desperately saved Fan Lanshu, why didn't she let her see a doctor? Ah Nian raised his head and glanced at Xie Wuyi quickly, and saw that Xiao Wei's eyes were not good, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
After Ah Nian left, Xiao Wei seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He tilted his body, yawned and said, "Then it's decided, I will go back to Xie Mansion tomorrow, I have other important matters; Jiangnanzhuang's side will wait for the news of Chunni before making plans. ”
The next day, Xiao Wei and the dressed Xie Wuyi came to Xie Mansion together. Although Xiao Wei has a noble status, he never puts on a show, and chats with Xie Zongyi in the study. Xie Zongyi heard what he meant by his words, and the Yan Wangfu would try its best to maintain the Xie family's status in the court, and he felt that his daughter was really worth marrying, and he was directly happy to become a pistachio. And because of Xiao Wei's statement, Mrs. Xie's impression of Xie Wuyi has also become more and more better.
After the family finished eating happily, Xiao Wei glanced at Xie Wuyi, and went to the backyard to enjoy the osmanthus flowers. Xie Wuyi called Xie Xuan under the pretext of saying that he had something to discuss with him.
The brother and sister sat in the small pavilion where Xie Wuyi had lived briefly before he got married, and Xie Wuyi was not verbose and went straight to the point.
"His Royal Highness talked to me about my brother the day before yesterday, and I was very curious about my brother's lack of wife. I know it's a bit rude to ask, but my brother is not the same as he used to be. Xie Wuyi carefully looked at Xie Xuan's expression, "Does my brother already have someone he likes in his heart?" If so, His Highness can contact his brother. ”
Xie Xuan's hand shook violently, and most of the hot tea was spilled at once. He avoided Xie Wuyi's gaze and put the teacup back on the table sideways, "No, Your Highness misunderstood." ”
The last time Xie Wuyi asked Xie Xuan, he also said the same, Xie Wuyi didn't see it, and only smiled and said: "There are rumors in the palace that His Majesty intends to choose a new son-in-law for Princess Gaoyang, and my brother is in the ministry, I don't know——"
Before Xie Wuyi's words fell, Xie Xuan's hands shook suddenly, and the green tendons on his forehead had burst out.
His gaffe fell in Xie Wuyi's eyes, and she had already guessed seven or eight points.
On the night of the wedding, Xiao Yun had a lot of complaints about Xiao Wei marrying the daughter of the Xie family, Xiao Wei said at the time that she had too deep prejudices about the Xie family, but how could a small Xie family offend Xiao Yun?
In addition to the court robe on formal occasions, Xie Xuan only wore cyan and green clothes and wore a jade crown carved with various bamboo leaves. In his small courtyard, tall and tall green bamboos grow in all seasons, and Xie Xuan takes care of these bamboos almost to the extent that everything is too small.
Even when he was tricked to the grass hut by Xiaodi's mother and son, Xie Xuan was drenched in rain, and he wiped the bamboo leaf crown before cleaning himself.
Xiao Yun's word Qinglan, Yun'er, bamboo also.
Originally...... So.
