A Thousand Hills Qingdai Section 135
"I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, the colt was in the ancestral hall, and you looked for it. β
Gu Twelve was stunned, looked at the gaze cast by Shang Suyu, looked embarrassed, and said vaguely: "It's nothing...... It's just that...... It's just that the villain has lost money in gambling recently, and he wants to borrow some money from the colt and turn around for a few days......"
"Gu Twelve!" The smile on Su Yu's face disappeared, and his expression became slightly cold.
"When you have a horse as a backer, I can't move you?"
Gu Twelve's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly knelt to the end, kowtowing again and again: "The princess is angry!" Please forgive the princess! It's not that the villain dares to deceive, it's just that this matter is ...... The villain really didn't dare to say anything about it...... The princess killed the villain's head, and the villain didn't dare to say it...... If the princess wants to know...... Why not...... Why don't you ask the pony ......?"
I can't see that this Gu Twelve is so stupid and loyal that he doesn't eat soft and hard. When asked like this, he refused to tell the truth.
The rain eased slightly.
"Gu Twelve, I know that you are the protector. But listen, I'm looking for you like this, just for the sake of the donkey, and I just don't want to make a big deal out of it. If you don't say it, I won't really do anything to you, I'll ask Yuan to check. It's just a matter of days earlier or later. β
She didn't say any more, got up from the couch, and wanted to leave. Gu Twelve's face changed again, and he hurriedly kowtowed to stop him: "The villain should be damned!" The villain got it! The villain said yes! β
Gu Twelve had no choice but to tell the truth.
Wei Juren's whereabouts, the imperial court still seems to have given up on the investigation. The reason why he went to look for Pei Xiaoyuan this morning was because he received a report from his subordinates last night, and there was someone like a secret agent, who seemed to have touched the clue of Zhangjiabu Store in the West Market.
The shopkeeper of the Zhang family is indeed Wei Juren's person, who used to open a cloth shop in the West Market, and later married a wife and had children, half to live, half to cover people's eyes. His family didn't know anything about them. After the accident that day, the rest of the Zhang family saw that the head of the family was gone, and they were afraid of being affected, so they didn't even want the store, and as soon as the door was closed, the family fled back to their hometown.
"Now that the secret agent has found the cloth shop, if you continue to investigate, I am afraid that the villain will soon be found, and the villain will go to find the horse during the day, in addition to reporting the matter, it is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots before the secret agent finds the person, and dispose of all the remaining people of the Zhang family, so as not to become a disaster. But the colt was not allowed. He said that he would solve the matter and not affect me, so that I didn't have to interfere. β
"What the hell is going on with Wei Juren? Didn't you say that he escaped from Chang'an? What did you all do? Su Yu was surprised and continued to ask, "Did it fall into the hands of the colt?" β
It's all here, Gu Twelve Zhi couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the story of the time again.
ββ¦β¦ Chen Shao and I caught Wei Juren, and he begged for mercy, saying that he had something important to meet with him. When the colt came, he said...... Say ......"
Gu Twelve was stumbling again, and it was difficult to speak.
"What the hell are you talking about!" The rain was angry and suddenly raised his voice.
Gu Twelve was in a daze, and hurriedly said, "He should be saying...... His Majesty was the initiator of the Battle of the Northern Abyss that year. His father was the messenger sent by Liu Ceye to deliver a letter to His Majesty, and the evidence is ironclad......"
After he finished speaking, he was already in a cold sweat, his forehead slammed, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment.
Some of the things that were originally a little unsustainable before, but now because of Gu Twelve's narration, they were suddenly connected, and she understood them all at once.
I remember discussing with him how to devise a way to induce Li Yanxin to break with the emperor and then switch to the past, and he assured her that he could get Li Yanxin to him, at least, to agree to meet with him.
At that time, she asked him what his specific words were, but he avoided it, saying only that he had a decision, so that she could rest assured and not worry too much.
She believed him and didn't think much of it.
Thinking about it at this moment, it must be his half-truths and half-truths, and he used this matter as bait.
Yes, what other reason could prove his determination to hate the emperor and then betray the court?
She steadied herself, and suddenly remembered that night. The frescoes in the west hall were damaged by the Koyanagi clan, she repaired them day and night, that night was exhausted, people were extremely weak, and they pestered him desperately in the small pavilion, and after falling in love with him, she went to sleep, he went out, and when she returned the next day, she openly took the blame for Chengping in front of her Aya, leaving no room for anything, and then completely offended her Aya, so that the relationship between the two of them was finally reconciled, and suddenly they were sharply opposed again.
She got it all!
It turned out that in the second half of the night, when he said it was just an ordinary night patrol, he still had such an experience.
What she had feared the most, and which she stubbornly refused to believe, was true.
Her Aya is really the culprit of the war in the past, a complete sinner......
She only felt that the blood around her body was gradually cold, and her ear canal was roaring, and her heart was beating wildly.
No wonder since that night, she has always felt an inexplicable subtle sense of alienation.
It's not that he's bad for her. He is still very good to her, responsive, gentle and considerate. But the feeling of lingering fellowship with him, in which she had been able to indulge completely, broke her wings after the last intimacy of the night, as if she had reached the top of the mountain.
"Princess?"
After not hearing a response for a long time, Gu Twelve finally mustered up the courage to call out.
The rain suddenly woke up.
She tried her best to maintain her steady expression, not wanting to let people see the huge wave that was stirring up in her heart at the moment.
"Who else knows about this?"
"As far as the villain knows, there should be no one here except Chen Shao and the villain."
"I see."
Su Yu closed his eyes.
"Don't let the colt know that I've been looking for you." She commanded, stood up and said.
Late at night, Pei Xiaoyuan came to the gate of the palace, dismounted, and knocked on the palace gate.
Since the abolition of the crown prince, the regulations on the entry and exit of people in the palace have become more and more strict. In the past, as long as the name was on the palace register, it was quite convenient to enter the palace, let alone a figure of Pei Xiaoyuan's identity. But since the palace change, especially at night, there is no call from the palace, and he is not the one who stays in tonight, and the palace guard officer who has just been promoted still does not dare to let him in immediately - the palace rules are of course one thing, and the rumors about the horse falling out of favor have naturally been a reason recently, until Pei Xiaoyuan showed the horse fish talisman again, and the guard officer did not dare to offend him too much after all, so he let him in alone.
At first, he thought that Su Yu was in the Immortal Blessing Palace, her daily residence in the palace, but he didn't. He found the nearby Ziyun Palace again, and the palace guard outside the gate also said that the princess had never been here tonight. He couldn't help but panic.
He knew that she must have returned to the palace, but he did not know where she had gone. He stopped in front of a stone lamp next to the palace road, meditating on other places she might have in the palace, and suddenly thought of a place, and hurriedly turned it around.
He came to the Yuyun Tower next to the Chongtian Temple.
This annex of the main hall, which was originally built for the emperor's longevity, is the most suitable place in the palace to climb high and look far away. Standing on it, you can take the entire Chang'an into your eyes. At this moment, in the dark night sky, under the background of the towering Chongtian Hall nearby, the outline of Yuyun Tower appears more and more towering, flying eaves and corners, and the volley is like flying.
She was alone tonight.
Pei Xiaoyuan entered the building under the guidance of Yang Zaien, and in the footsteps of his Taoist boots with a concussive echo, he walked up the spiraling pavilion stairs at a rapid pace.
Finally, he climbed to the top of the Yuyun Tower in one breath, and saw the person he was looking for in a pavilion set up as the princess's private pavilion.
Ignoring his breath, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps followed, stopping outside the attic door.
The figure stood behind a window with mica embedded in it. The window was open, and she was facing the night sky outside the window, as if she was immersed in a world that belonged to her, unaware of his arrival.
Pei Xiaoyuan didn't dare to disturb her for a while. After a moment, seeing her figure move slightly, she turned her face and cast her gaze on his, but did not speak immediately.
Several huge candles were lit on a gilded branch lamp, and the night wind continued to pour in through the window, blowing the candle flames, and her figure cast on the attic wall was also shaking.
She looked like she was going to bed, her hairpins were gone, and she was wearing only a bed gown.
There was a stove burning in the pavilion, but the clothes were obviously too thin.
Pei Xiaoyuan walked in and reached out to close the window.
The candle shadow froze, and the pavilion also fell silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
"When I came home in the evening, they said you had come back, why did you leave again?"
He stopped across from her and asked.
It's more than that. He said that she had come back, entered the dormitory, and after sitting alone for a while, she suddenly spoke, and ordered someone to collect the new Luo tent that had been hung last night, and then left again.
Su Yu didn't answer, walked to a nearby couch covered with brocade mattresses, and sat down.
Pei Xiaoyuan followed her, leaned over and picked up a thicker rose pink bead pair of deer pattern drapery on the side, and wrapped it around her shoulder.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly come here alone to sleep? He asked in a low voice.
She didn't answer him, her eyes drooping and her long eyelashes lowered.
"It's not too early, I'll send you to bed firstβ" he continued to persuade patiently.
"Kiss me." Suddenly, he heard her say this, and interrupted him.
This is really abrupt.
Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned and looked at her. She had lifted up her eyes and met his eyes.
Pei Xiaoyuan finally determined that he should have heard correctly.
"Princess?" Confused, he called her tentatively.
"I told you to kiss me." She looked at him silently, repeating.
Pei Xiaoyuan sat down slowly. Then, he stretched out his arms sideways, took her into his arms, leaned over, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Not here." She said.
His gaze flickered.
He lowered his head and leaned his face slowly against her, and as his straight nose brushed her cheek and touched her skin, he began to kiss her lips as she wished.
Her lips were smooth and cool, not half hot. Soon, she opened her mouth slightly, and a soft, warm tongue reached out, gently licked his lips, pushed open his closed lips, and passed the tip of her tongue into his mouth.
I don't know if he was surprised by her rare initiative, or for some other reason, he seemed to subconsciously pause as she intimately put her tongue into his mouth.
The incense tongue then stopped.
Then, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, he took her lips in his mouth, and was about to catch the sweet tongue she had handed her, when she had turned her face away, and was completely separated from him again.
The refusal was so sudden, just as she had asked him to kiss her, it was something he had never expected.
He froze for a moment.
"Princess?"
With some confusion, he looked at her hesitantly and called her in a low voice.
Su Yu raised her eyes and stared at him.
"Pei Er, didn't you say that you liked me the first time you saw me? Don't you like it now? She asked softly, a little poignantly.
Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned.
"Last night you asked me if I needed you to sleep. What were you thinking? β
Without waiting for him to answer, she continued to ask.
Pei Xiaoyuan seemed to have been hit by something. His heart was beating faster, and his back was sweating slightly.
When did he say something like this?
Just when he was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, he saw the corners of her lips curl slightly, and a smile appeared again.
"You're doing what we said on our wedding night, aren't you?"
He seemed to be stabbed by her smile, and suddenly the whole person woke up.
"Damn! It was me who was wrong, I was wrong! Don't blame me. β
His expression became annoyed and depressed, and he whispered apologies, hugged her, and lowered his head to chase her lips so that he could continue the kiss that had been interrupted.
