A Thousand Hills Qingdai Section 63
"Aya originally wanted you to move out of Pei's house, but I saw that you didn't want to toss before, so I let you go. But you are the princess of Aya, how can he Pei Xiaoyuan live in the same house with you again? Tell him to come out, of course, why are you so angry? ”
Su Yu shook his head: "Aye, you are lying again!" What did Zhao Bandang mean by what he just said? Why do you say that Pei Er will hurt me in the future? ”
The Emperor was silent for a moment.
"Sister-in-law, Pei Jiazi is scheming, Aya will tell you the truth, even Aya may not be able to control him. He entered Beijing this time, harboring evil intentions. ”
"What is his evil intention?"
"If it can be easily seen by you, it is still called evil? He has no loyalty to me, you just know that. Aya also knows that you have some friendship before, and you trust him very much. It is precisely because of this that Aya is not at ease, let alone let it go. ”
"You listen to Ayah, Ayah is the person who loves you the most in the world, and he will not harm you. It is for your own good to keep him away from you. ”
Su Yu looked at her emperor Aya in silence, and suddenly asked again: "Since he harbors evil intentions and you have no loyalty to Aye, why did Aya transfer him to the capital to entrust him with important tasks?" Just let him fend for himself in Ganliang, or, Aya is really not at ease, wouldn't it be better to find any excuse to kill him? ”
The candle flame in the small pavilion was not as bright as the outer hall, and the emperor's sunken eyes were hidden in the candle shadow, flickering slightly.
"He's a rare good knife, so Aya still needs to use him. But for Ayer, there is still no matching sheath to be found. ”
"A knife, if it doesn't have a scabbard that can contain its edge, how can it rest assured that it can hang by your side?"
Su Yu nodded: "I understand." If Aya never finds it, and when it runs out, he will break the sword so that he may not devour the Lord. ”
The emperor stared at Su Yu: "So you understand Aya's painstaking efforts, right?" You are the daughter of Aya, and if you are not on my side, do you want to speak for a foreign minister? ”
The rain was silent.
The emperor waited for a moment, and his voice was softer: "It's not early at night, Aya told you Zhao Bandang to clean up a room here and come out, and you can sleep here." ”
Su Yu shook his head: "I don't live here." ”
The emperor immediately changed his words: "It's okay to go back tonight." If you don't want to live there, Aya will give you a new house tomorrow, you move out, and give him back that broken place, and we won't live there!" ”
Su Yu stepped out of the palace.
She rode her horse, let go all the way, and walked slowly south, when she suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted at the few figures who were far behind her: "Get out!" Don't follow me anymore! As the words fell, he whipped his mount and galloped away. The retinue who had been ordered to accompany came back to their senses, and hurried to catch up, but they could still see the shadow of the rider anywhere. Hurried to Pei's house and was told that Ye Langjun had not returned. Several people hurriedly split up to look for the neighborhood, but there was no one to see, and they panicked for a while.
Late at night, Pei Xiaoyuan had just returned to his place of residence, and before he lay down, he heard the door being slammed, and quickly dressed and came out to open the door, seeing that it was a person in the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him urgently.
Pei Xiaoyuan was suspicious of something in his heart, and the emperor summoned him so late at night, he didn't dare to pause, and hurriedly entered the Ziyun Palace, and just walked into the palace, before he could stand firmly, he saw the emperor yelling at him: "Where did you hide my daughter?" Then the Emperor grabbed another hot incense burner on his desk and smashed it at him.
With the experience of the previous car, Pei Xiaoyuan dodged this time. The incense burner flew past him and fell to the ground with a thud, and the ashes and sparks scattered in all directions, falling all over the ground.
His heart also hung up with the emperor's scolding, and after standing still, he hesitated for a moment, and saluted and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”
Zhao Zhongfang, who followed in, told him about the matter, saying that after the princess left the palace tonight, she repelled and accompanied her, but she did not return to Yongning House, and she was alone and did not know where she went, and she couldn't find it. The emperor has ordered Han Kerang to find it. Then he thought of him again and summoned him too.
At this time, the emperor coughed violently and bent down with a painful look on his face.
Zhao Zhongfang hurriedly went up to support him, persuaded in a low voice, was pushed away by the emperor, forcibly held back his cough, and slowly stood up straight, staring at Pei Xiaoyuan with his eyes, his eyes flashed with fierce light, and his face was pale:
"I didn't allow you to provoke her, and ordered you to stay away from her, but I didn't tell you to go so far! How many marriages? What other royal maid do you see? You make her sad to this point, in case something happens, one hair is missing, I tell you, Yuan is worth that mouthful, maybe he hasn't fired for a long time! One by one, you all jump for me! ”
Chapter 61
The rain shook off the people who followed him and rode on the lonely night street. On the way, she met a group of Jin Wuwei who was on night patrol, recognized the person, and knew that he was a new painter who had recently been favored in the palace, and he was close to Pei Xiaoyuan.
At first, Suyu was aimless, not knowing where she wanted to go.
Pei Zhai didn't want to go back.
The former Dingwang Mansion, her home, has long been unrecognizable.
Sister A, after all, is not something she can go to if she wants to. It's not the same person anymore, how can you add your own suffering and boredom to another person who is already miserable.
Su Yu only carried the palace on her back, and walked farther and farther, the houses in the walls on both sides gradually became low and sparse, and finally, she was led by her mount to a barren field, near which were broken and unguarded, and there was no light on all sides. In a trance, she vaguely remembered that this area seemed to be the place where she had fled for her life on that night many years ago. It was in this area that the pursuers arrived, she fled alone, fell into a deep ditch, and when she woke up, the heavens and the earth overturned, and the world changed.
Su Yushen walked in the barren grass and grass in the field, and finally, climbed to the top of the highest slope, and looked into the distance, in the direction of the palace under the dark night sky.
The fire that had burned from this direction led her to the wall of the mural, and when she met her grandfather, she gained a new life.
Now that the journey of more than ten years is over, she is here again, and everything seems to be back to square one.
It was her own choice and she has no regrets. Do it all over again, ten times, and she won't turn around.
But at this moment, facing the night breeze blowing on her face, when she thought of the scene where the little girl had set off from here and stumbled to the palace to find her mother, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The sky was bright, and the morning drum urged open the door of Chang'an's Daodaofang.
Chengping's clothes were untidy, and his neck was stained with residual rouge marks, and he returned from the Chen Family Restaurant where he had a hangover last night. When I was about to enter the concert hall, I was still not fully awake, I got off the horse and climbed the steps, my tall body was almost tripped by the threshold, fortunately I was supported by two entourages, and I barely entered, and suddenly heard the porter say that there was a visitor in the morning, thinking that it was Lu Wenjun again, and when I woke up halfway, I said with a cold face, "Say I didn't go back to the restaurant", pushed away the person holding him, turned around and was about to go out again, at this time, I heard that it was "Ye Xiaolangjun" behind me, so I stopped and turned my face.
"Who?"
He thought he had misheard. How could Ye Nu come to him so early, and when she heard it clearly, she was undoubtedly surprised, glanced at the direction of the door, hurriedly was about to enter, paused, looked down, and pulled off a few five-color silk thread embroidered sachets that were indiscriminately tied to the belt by the Chen sisters last night, wiped the rouge marks on her neck, and ordered someone to pass the word first, telling her to wait and go to change clothes by herself.
After a while, when he appeared in front of Su Yu, although he was still full of alcohol and his pace was unsteady, his clothes were neat, and he no longer had the debauchery he had before.
When he saw her smiling, he couldn't hide his paleness, and immediately withdrew from the miscellaneous people, asking what was the matter, knowing that she would never come to him again out of thin air.
He shouldn't have known about the many changes that happened to him and Pei Xiaoyuan recently, so Su Yu didn't mention it, only said that he heard some rumors about the Pei family's old affairs after entering Beijing, but they were all scaly claws, because he and Pei Xiaoyuan were friends, so he came to inquire.
Cheng Ping didn't answer immediately, just looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Little lady Ye, who are you?" ”
Su Yu looked at him.
Since he couldn't help but ask, Cheng Ping didn't hold back anymore, and simply said, "You must not be an ordinary person." ”
Pei Er was too abnormal with her.
He has always been heartless and ruthless to women, and he is a person who keeps manners. If you have feelings for her, then you shouldn't take her into the mansion to live together. If it is because of Pei Gong's entrustment, it doesn't have to be so far.
"Who do you think I am?" Su Yu asked rhetorically.
Chengping is not a stupid person, these days, some suspicions have slowly piled up in his heart, but how dare he say it rashly, rubbed his temples that were still swollen and painful due to hangover, and smiled bitterly: "That's it, when I didn't ask." What do you want to know? ”
"The Pei family's past. What the hell is going on in his father's battle of the Northern Abyss. ”
Cheng Ping said: "I met him in the west a few years ago. He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't talk to me about his father in the past. I only know that Chen Sida in the court is now his father's old department, but he betrayed the main general, Feng Zhenping even bit back, slandering his father's name, causing the Shenhu Army to be unfair, giving birth to some chaos, and then being convicted of rebellion, and implicating Pei Gong. At that time, it was his mother Cui Niangzi who led him, kneeling outside the Danfeng Gate before dawn to avenge the grievances of those soldiers who were convicted and about to be beheaded, causing a sensation in the city. Soon after the saint ascended the throne, it should have been due to the consideration of all parties, and the matter was hastily covered up. He was about eight years old at the time, so he naturally remembered. These two are his enemies, and if there is a chance in the future, they will meet each other in vain, and they cannot be spared. ”
"I don't know much, that's all."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Yu, saw that she was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Don't tell him that I asked you about such a thing." ”
"Thank you. I went. ”
She nodded to Chengping, got up and walked outside.
Chengping blocked: "Where are you going?" What the hell is going on? I wonder how you are not the same as usual? ”
Su Yu stopped, looked back at Cheng Ping, who still hadn't fully woken up from drunkenness, walked back, helped him to the couch, and said, "You rest, I'm fine." After speaking, he called out, called people in, ordered Cheng Ping to sober up, and walked out by himself.
Chengping was stunned, sat still for a moment, slowly leaned back, and lay down.
Pei Xiaoyuan has been looking for people in the middle of the night.
Ever since he learned last night that she had left no one behind and was missing, he had been looking for someone. Later, when I received the news from the night patrol Jin Wuwei, instead of putting my heart at ease, I felt more anxious. He had the impression that she had always been quiet and understanding, and that the act of doing what she wanted and even being arrogant as last night was an anomaly that he could not have imagined before.
What the hell is wrong with her.
Hairpin Xingguan, Wei Yin's mother's house, the tall lady's house where she landed when she first came, and even the Ci'en Temple where she had painted blessings, he looked for them one by one. There was no one at all. He also sent people to ask all the fangmen, and in the end, he thought that she had gone out of the city to the mausoleum of Empress Zhaode? Go through the gates again.
However, her whereabouts were never seen.
On the fifth watch, the morning drum sounded. Han Kerang also came with news from there, but no one was found.
A sleepless night was nothing to Pei Xiaoyuan, but at this moment, worry and panic turned into exhaustion and rushed to him together, infinitely magnifying the deep self-blame in his heart.
Could it really be as the emperor said, that she had already done so much to him, and he didn't realize it and hurt her?
There is still a large area of wasteland in the south of the city, which could not be found last night. Where did she go?
Although the city is better, there are no beasts, but in the kind of wilderness where there are almost no people, there may be wolves and foxes at night.
Pei Xiaoyuan didn't think about it anymore, settled down, and was about to personally take people to the south of the city to search, when suddenly at this time, the guards hurried over on horseback and reported the news to him, someone saw the painter in the area of the Jinjuan Academy, and Wang Shizi of Xiping County personally came out to pick people up, and there was no doubt about it.
Pei Xiaoyuan immediately urged the horse to go and went to the Jinjuan of the County King's Mansion.
It was still not yet dawn, and the dawn was as thick as fog, covering the streets and walls. He ordered a knock on the door. After a long time, the closed door finally opened a crack, and a porter came out, and heard Pei Xiaoyuan ask the painter surnamed Ye, and asked him to wait, saying that he was going to ask the master.
Pei Xiaoyuan motioned for his subordinates to go up and forcibly push the door, and then strode inside.
When he entered the front hall, he saw that the place where he was serving was empty, and there was no one in sight, and his face could not help but become more and more calm.
The steward of the Yuwen family also hurried at this time, and when he saw this, he should have felt a strange atmosphere and hurriedly asked questions.
"Tell your young master to come out and come here to see me!" Pei Xiaoyuan commanded in a restrained tone.
The steward said that his young master seemed to be still in the back hall at the moment, so he asked him to sit down and wait for a while, and he would report it immediately.
"Take me there." Pei Xiaoyuan glanced in the direction of the inner hall, and once again commanded, not to refuse.
The steward reluctantly led him in, came to a door at the end of the corridor, knocked lightly, and announced: "Shizi, are you up?" Pei Sicheng arrived, and Xun Shizi had something to ask. After a while, Fang heard a lazy voice coming from inside the door.
"Please go back to the front hall! I still have someone here, and I'll see him when I'm done. ”
Pei Xiaoyuan couldn't hold back anymore and lost his usual steadyness. His eyes were dark, and he pushed open the unlocked door and stepped inside.
The light inside was dim, the silk tent hung to the ground, overlapping shadows, hazy, and I saw Yu Wenzhi lying on his side on the couch, facing inward, hugging a person and sleeping, the person was motionless in his arms, and he didn't know whether he was asleep, or drugged, or what.
Pei Xiaoyuan knew that his idea was really ridiculous. There's no way she's here at the moment. No matter how rampant Yu Wenzhi was, he didn't dare to do such a hand to her. However, seeing such a situation, he was still excited, opened the tent and broke in, strode to the couch, reached out, and pulled down a piece of brocade that covered Yuwenzhi's shoulders and neck, and found that what he was holding was just a maid here. The two were neatly dressed.
Yu Wenzhi suddenly opened his eyes, met Pei Xiaoyuan's two glances, and then, let go of the maid who was temporarily called by him, turned over lazily, and lay on his back facing the sky.
The maid had obviously not yet come to her senses, and with a look of panic on her face, she hurriedly got up, kowtowed, and then rushed out of the house.
After staring at Pei Xiaoyuan for a moment, Yu Wenzhi raised his eyebrows, hooked his red lips, and sat up slowly.
"Who do you think it will be?"
He said a word, and then laughed maniacally.
The moment he saw that it was a maid, Pei Xiaoyuan realized that he was teased by him.
For some reason, however, he didn't feel any irritation.
He only frowned slightly, took a few steps back, and waited for Yu Wenzhi to finally finish laughing, and asked, "What about her?" ”
Yu Wenzhi stroked the creases on his shirt sleeves, squinted his eyes, swept him with an undisguised jealous gaze, and snorted coldly: "I'm back to your house." ”
Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned, turned around and left immediately, rode to Yongning Mansion, hurried to her residence, walked through the courtyard, and suddenly stopped.
And sure enough, she returned. At this time, the man was sitting on the bed in the outhouse. On the table next to the bed, there is a white porcelain candlestick. She sat beside the candlestick, her figure quiet.
This scene seemed familiar, so that he suddenly remembered the night she just lived, Qu Jiangyan returned in shock, after she bathed, she was sitting here rubbing her long hair, and he walked in, also here, knelt down to her, and begged her to take care of herself.
