After Qingming, the rain became more and more.

The water rose overnight, and the horn lamps tied to the railing of the Luoyue Bridge were half flooded, and it rained for days, and the spring embankment was full of mud, and the carriage drove by on the road, bringing up bursts of muddy water.

In the hall of the Si Li Mansion, Kim Hyun Young was sitting on a chair reading the household register.

Kim Hsien Young is in a good mood.

Since the change of the medical officer to the medical hospital to treat him, Jin Xianrong's mood has calmed down a lot.

The carbuncle of the kidney capsule has been so good that he has taken the medicine according to the prescription given to him by Lu Yu, and applies the medicine diligently every day, plus Lu Yu comes to administer needles to him every three or five times, I don't know if it is Jin Xianrong's illusion, and his place has gradually improved, not to a pool of stagnant water, and finally has some sense.

I want to come in a few months, and there will be a time for me to show my strength again.

Jin Xianrong picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the Celebrant Mansion.

It is a horse-drawn carriage with a canopy of red wheels, more than twice as large as ordinary carriages, and looks extremely gorgeous. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in an indigo jade robe stepped down from inside.

This man was of medium stature, not very tall, with a white face, which at first glance looked very gentle, but his cheekbones were a little white, his eyes were red, and he looked a little tired when he looked closely.

Jin Xianrong put down the teacup, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Yutai is here." ”

The person who came was the son of the Qi family in the Taishi Mansion of the Dynasty, Qi Yutai.

Today's Taishi Qi Qing has a son and a daughter, and his daughter Qi Huaying is a well-known lady in Shengjing, with beautiful appearance and outstanding talent. Although the eldest son Qi Yutai is not as refined as Qi Huaying, he is also familiar with poetry and etiquette, and has a good character, especially a good handwriting, and is praised by everyone in Shengjing, and there is no bad temper of those noble children in his body, and he is as well-behaved as a daughter.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

Qi Yutai walked into the hall and bowed his hand to Jin Xianrong, very polite: "Jin Shilang." ”

Jin Xianrong got up from the chair, hooked Qi Yutai's shoulder and walked in, and said affectionately: "A few days ago, the people in your mansion said that you were cold, and my brother was still very worried for a while, this Sili Mansion has no you, I am alone, I can't see official business, and the subordinates don't know anything, and if there is no tea in the teacan, you won't add some more, you can just come back......"

"I'll send someone to add tea immediately......"

"Hey, that's like I'm waiting for your tea in Yutai......"

“……”

After saying a few more polite words, and sending Jin Xianrong away, Qi Yutai entered his room, closed the door, and sat down on a chair.

There were scattered official documents on the table.

It was accumulated in his absence, but in total it was not much. Now the household department has no real power, and he is just a fictitious position, and he only receives salaries in the household department, and there is no difference if he is not there.

Looking at those paper rolls, Qi Yutai was a little irritable.

The errand of the household department was arranged for him by his father Qi Qing.

Qi Yutai didn't like this errand.

As the only son-in-law of the Taishi Mansion, his father is above 10,000 people, and he can't get any official position. Those children of official families who were not as good as him could still rise to prominence with their family strength, but their father arranged such an errand for him.

Idle, boring, with no future in sight.

I also have to endure hated colleagues who love to take advantage.

He once expressed his dissatisfaction to his father, hoping that his father could arrange a more decent official position for him, and it was not difficult at all for His Majesty to rely on his father.

But Qi Qing didn't seem to see his complaints, and categorically refused.

He could only stay in the celebrant mansion.

The official documents on the table became more and more dazzling, Qi Yutai brushed them aside, picked up an incense pill from the jar on the side, and lit the gilded double moth pattern incense burner thrown into the table.

The incense pill is the best spiritual rhino incense, since Qi Yutai was sensible, the house burned this long incense. After he came to the household department, his father asked him to prepare a lot for him to light in the Sili Mansion.

However, the last time he left, the jar was still very full, but now there is only one left, I think it was Jin Xianrong who took the sheep and touched it, Jin Xianrong has always loved to take advantage of this kind of small advantage.

Green smoke gradually rose from the incense burner, and the familiar fragrance penetrated into the tip of the nose, soothing the manic depression.

He took a deep breath, felt calm, and simply leaned back, closed his eyes and recuperated.

……

"Qi Gongzi."

"Qi Gongzi ......"

There seemed to be someone talking in my ear.

Who's calling him?

Qi Yutai wanted to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids were heavy and he couldn't lift them.

Is it a dream?

The voice was still calling him: "Qi Gongzi ......"

It's vaguely a woman's appearance.

The woman seemed to come up from behind and whispered in his ear, gentle, ethereal, like an intermittent dream: "...... Remember Fung Lok House? ”

Feng Lok House?

He was still stunned, and suddenly felt a cold thing against his neck.

Qi Yutai instinctively sensed the danger, wanted to scream, wanted to stand up, and was shocked to feel as if he was bound by an invisible rope, without a trace of strength to struggle, and even the words he said were soft, he said: "...... Who are you? ”

A cold touch roamed around his neck, but the other party did not answer.

"Qi Gongzi," the man asked again, "do you remember Fengle Building?" ”

As these words landed, the coldness in his neck deepened again.

Qi Yutai convulsed.

He didn't remember any of Feng Lok Lou at all.

He wanted to leave, to wake up from this inexplicable nightmare, but when he opened his mouth, he could only let out a faint "Help-"

The man's movements stopped.

After a while, Qi Yutai heard her speak, and she said, "Qi Gongzi, don't you remember?" ”

"In the thirty-seventh year of Yongchang, you met a woman in Fengle Building......"

"You killed her."

What is she talking about?

What woman, what killed her, he didn't understand at all, so he could only struggle weakly.

The voice said slowly: "In the thirty-seventh year of Yongchang, you were enjoying yourself in Fengle Building and met a woman. ”

"The woman went to give her husband sobering soup, and when you saw that she was beautiful, you forcibly took possession of her......"

"And then the woman became pregnant, and thou didst destroy her deeds and destroy her, and cut her out of her family of four......

"Qi Gongzi ......"

The voice was gentle and gentle, like a thin needle quenched with poisonous juice, suddenly plunged into the secret depths of his heart.

"You really don't remember?"

Qi Yutai froze.

There was a dead silence all around, as if there was no other sound between heaven and earth, and suddenly there was a bustling sound, and he looked up and met a warm breeze with a fragrant breeze.

It was a woman wearing a peach blossom cloud smoke shirt, combing a flying fairy bun, dressed up extraordinarily charming, reaching out to hold his arm, and said with a smile: "Childe is the first time to come to Fengle Building, right?" Good faces, I'm going to have a good time tonight......"

Fung Lok House ......

He suddenly remembered that today was the first time he had come to Fung Lok Lou.

His father always detained him and didn't let him go out.

Shengjing's best Yuxian Building, the building is full of my father's acquaintances. It's okay for him to hold a birthday banquet or something in Yuxian Mansion in Su Ri, but once he wants to do something, he will be returned to his home immediately.

As the son of the Grand Master, you must pay attention to your behavior and speech everywhere, and you are always not free.

Fengle Lou is his newly discovered restaurant, although it is not as luxurious as the Xianlou, but it is barely eye-catching, the best thing is that there is no father here, what he wants to do is no one to watch, there is a rare freedom.

He followed the bewitching woman up to the attic and into the inner room of the attic. Naturally, a person of his stature could not enjoy himself in the halls like those untouchables.

The room exudes a strange fragrance, and on the low couch inside, two singers are bowing their heads and stroking the piano, and the sound of the piano is long and pleasant, which is intoxicating.

Qi Yutai walked in and sat down in front of the low couch.

On the table were a blue and white jade pot, two white jade lotus petal pattern bowls, and a small oil paper bag.

He picked up the flask, poured a full bowl of wine, the wine was still hot, the aroma was rich and strong, he opened the oil paper bag that was put aside, and took the contents of the oil paper bag with the hot wine, and the hot wine flowed through his throat, and gradually spread a burning heat in his belly.

Qi Yutai closed his eyes and sighed comfortably.

This thing is a cold food powder.

The cold food is magical, and after taking it, the complexion is bright, and you can also experience the pleasure that you can't usually experience, which makes people flutter.

However, cold food powder is poisonous, long-term use of cold food powder is harmful to the human body, when the first emperor was alive, he had decreed that the whole country should ban this substance. But many noble children still secretly take it behind people's backs.

Qi Yutai is also one of them.

He was contaminated with this thing when he was young, and he was out of control, and then he was bumped into by Qi Qing, and his father sent all the subordinates around him, locked him in the house for half a year, and forced him to quit this thing.

But addiction is such a thing, and you can't break the root if you break the head.

Every year, Qi Yutai always finds several opportunities to take cold food powder behind Qi Qing's back.

He likes the feeling of fluttering immortals, no longer the conformist prince in the eyes of everyone, as if he has become a bird, indulging in flying high in the jungle, getting rid of his father's shadow, and holding the freedom he asked for.

It was a vent to ridicule him for being "well-behaved" behind the back of others.

It was his silent rebellion against his father.

The body gradually became hot and dry, and the cold food began to take effect.

Qi Yutai took off his coat and walked around the house naked.

If Qi Qing saw this scene, he would inevitably be severely punished. Taishi Mansion is the most important rules and etiquette, from childhood to adulthood, he can't make a wrong step outside.

Qi Yutai gave birth to an inexplicable pleasure, as if he was deliberately taking revenge on that glamorous stereotype. He walked up and down in the private room with a high drink, and his heart was like a fire that was rising from his belly, and the comfort of his heart and the suffocation of his body were difficult to reconcile, and in that state of madness, he suddenly opened the door of the private room.

There was an exclamation from the door.

It was a young woman, followed by a maid, carrying a basket made of mahogany, as if she did not expect that someone would suddenly open the door, and the two turned around, and when they saw him naked, the maid screamed in fright, and the woman blushed, and pulled the maid to escape.

With his brain hot, he dragged the woman into the house.

The maid shouted for help, reached out and dragged the woman, and was dragged in with her.

Qi Yutai felt that his body had become very light, and the sound of screaming and crying faintly came from his ears, and the sound made him more and more comfortable, like a bloodthirsty beast tasting its first bite of flesh and blood, he became crazy, omnipotent, relying only on instinct to gnaw at weak prey, and everything around him became far, far away.

He couldn't see the other person's face clearly, the effect of the cold food was already kicking in, and he only felt the ultimate pleasure, the freedom he had gained in this brutal plunder.

As for crying and tears, struggle and pain......

What does it have to do with him?

He didn't care, he had done a lot of it.

Nothing.

The faint fragrance burning in the green jade furnace in the elegant room was like a dream, and through the blurred smoke, someone sighed.

This sigh was long and loud, making people's souls scatter, and Qi Yutai suddenly came back to his senses.

"You killed her......"

The voice said so.

"No...... I didn't ......" Qi Yutai defended: "I'm just ......"

The words in his mouth froze suddenly.

Just what?

He had never killed anyone, because he didn't have to.

No matter what he did out there or how much of a mistake he made, someone would clean it up for him and deal with it cleanly.

The matter of Feng Le Lou has never been taken to heart by him, but it is just a lowly woman, and he doesn't even need to know the name.

He didn't remember the other party's appearance at all, only that he opened his eyes in a daze when the butler came looking for him, and he saw a mess. The woman was lying on the couch, and he didn't have the heart to look at it, for the attic door was shattered with soup, and a mahogany basket was trampled beyond recognition, mixed with the hem of the dead maid's skirt, and was particularly dirty and sloppy.

He looked at it and looked away, skirting the blood that snaked on the ground, lest he wet his feet.

The housekeeper behind him followed, a little embarrassed: "Childe, that woman is a good housewife." ”

He disagreed: "Just give some money." ”

Everyone in this world is measured by price.

One or two pieces of silver can't buy a cup of wine in Yuxian Lou, but you can buy a subordinate from a humble background.

They're cheap.

And he went back to his house with all his clothes dressed.

Later, he faintly heard that the other party was pregnant, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The woman's husband was so eager to get on the prince's house that he wanted to lick the mud on the soles of his shoes, and that little anger really didn't make a splash.

It was the woman's brother who really gave birth to a panic.

There was news from the other end of the trial court, saying that the woman's younger brother didn't know where to get the truth, and the case was handed to the judge, and Qi Yutai was afraid.

It's not that I'm afraid of the laws of the Liang Dynasty, or the hatred of the other party.

He was just afraid that his father would know.

Qi Qing has the most important reputation, if this matter is handed over to the government to make a big fuss, his father will definitely not be able to spare him.

That's why Qi Yutai asked the housekeeper to negotiate with the other side of the court, and the other party promised to deal with the matter. Later, when he heard that the woman's family was no longer there, he was relieved.

But......

My father still knew.

Qi Qing, who learned of this, locked him under house arrest in the mansion and was not allowed to go out, and his father's disappointed gaze became his nightmare, making him toss and turn for a while, thanks to those spiritual rhino incense, he could be soothed.

He thought it was over, and in his past twenty years, it had happened countless times, and he didn't expect it to be mentioned today.

The voice in his ears was as cold as smoke: "Qi Gongzi, you killed someone......"

He subconsciously retorted: "No, no, I didn't kill anyone......"

"You set up your subordinates and went to Fengle Building just to kill people......"

Branch the next person?

Qi Yutai was stunned, and subconsciously said, "No, I just don't want my father to know that I'm dispersing...... She broke in on her own......"

"I didn't...... I'm not the one to kill on purpose! ”

There was silence all around.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and looked down at Qi Yutai, who was sitting on the chair with a misty expression, his eyes cooling a little.

On the rosewood inlaid gem-inlaid screen at the door, the brilliant ruby poured out a bleak red of the green smoke in the incense burner. The smoke was faintly like a gray shadow, vaguely present, and then quickly dissipated, leaving no trace.

Disperse.

Lu Yu silently recited these two words.

Qi Yutai on the chair closed his eyes and muttered something in a low voice, as if he was asleep, and only when he got close could he hear what he said.

Lu Yu's gaze fell on him.

The red flocculent in the Hongfang Garden of the Imperial Pharmacy is originally a medicinal material for the treatment of insomnia, but the raw materials are poisonous, and the head is dizzy and swollen after a long time, and the mouth and nose bleed.

She went to the Imperial Pharmacy to ask He Xiu for some leftover red fragrant branches and leaves, and when He Xiu heard that she wanted to use it, she didn't ask what to do, so she sent her half a bundle overnight.

She processed the stumps slightly, soaked them in a silver jar, smashed them, boiled them with other herbs, and finally kneaded them into the incense pills that Kim Hyunrong handed her.

The spiritual rhino incense can calm the nerves, but as long as it is slightly adjusted, it can make people speak in vain and cannot distinguish the reality of dreams......

Sweet dreams turn into nightmares.

The person in the chair was still immersed in a dream, Lu Yu looked down at him condescendingly, took two steps in front of him, and the silver needle in his hand gradually slid from his neck to his cheek, and finally stopped at his temporal area, which was not full.

Pierce it from here, stab it all, and he'll die instantly.

Qi Yutai was still muttering: "It's not me...... I didn't have ......"

Lu Yu stretched out his hand.

The tip of the needle touches the skin and slowly pushes it in.

Qi Yutai seemed to be aware of it, and his face showed pain.

"Squeak-"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind him.
