Xiao Deyin was helped back to the yard by a maid.
She didn't know anything, and only faintly echoed in her ears, "That mysterious person doesn't know what his identity is, and can't see people every time. Some people say it's not a person at all, otherwise, how can we not see the true face".
She closed her eyes.
These days, she lied that the wind and cold couldn't stay behind closed doors. It was because that day when she heard the familiar sound of the piano in Shen's house, she suffered from heart disease and panic all day long, so she hid in the house. Who knew that as soon as I went out today and heard the news again, for a while, I only felt that the thing seemed to be entangled in myself, covering the whole world, how could I not escape
The maid didn't know what was going on. She thought Xiao Deyin's wind chill was getting worse again, and she was going to the doctor to get medicine. Xiao Deyin leaned on the bed, only feeling that his body was getting cold.
Who is that person? Is it a man or a ghost? Is it the dead Xue Fangfei or the living mysterious person, why not play "Guan Shanyue"? What if the first piano master of Beiyan changed hands if everyone knew about it? In order to become the best one, she gave up marriage, fame and fortune, everything was only for the word "first". For these two words, she did not hesitate to conspiracy with others to kill a close friend. For these two words, she betrayed her heart, but now, can't even keep the only one
For some reason, before Xiao Deyin's eyes, the face of Xue Fangfei from the past reappeared. She saw Xue Fangfei for the first time, but it was not because of Xue Fangfei's praiseworthy appearance. It's just that Xue Fangfei figured out everything with her about the piano art, and was very happy. She was delighted that Yu Mi learned of herself, but the more she delved into it, the more she felt shocked. Xue Fangfei's accomplishments in playing the piano were far higher than her.
Although Xue Fangfei has the name of a talented woman, what the world can see is only a small part. Xue Fangfei married to the Shen family, and Shen's mother refused to let her show her face and asked her to do housework instead of playing the piano and reading all day. Therefore, Xue Fangfei could not show off his piano skills, except for playing a piece of music when he was with Xiao Deyin by chance. Xiao Deyin was fortunate secretly, but fortunately there was mother Shen blocking it. If Xue Fangfei played the piano in front of others, it would seem that her reputation as the first luthier seemed like a joke.
When did jealousy, unwillingness, and anger quietly grow in the bottom of my heart, Xiao Deyin has no idea. She just felt that she cared more and more about Xue Fangfei. Whenever Xue Fangfei attended a banquet, she would follow her. What she was afraid of was if Xue Fangfei played the piano, what would she do? She knows that Mr. Ji Luo of Mingyitang secretly yearns for Shen Yurong, so she often provokes the relationship between Ji Luo and Xue Fangfei. She didn't know why she wanted to do this, but she felt that Xue Fangfei's existence always made her uneasy.
The former best friend has now become an existence that makes him uneasy, and this uneasiness has reached the extreme after Shen Yurong's top pick.
Shen Yurong high school champion, Xue Fangfei will be the official wife from now on. In the gatherings of official ladies, occasionally they would play the piano and talk about Taoism, and Xue Fangfei's talent could not be hidden. She is like a jewel. People feel radiant after seeing one corner, but if they see all of them, they won't see anything else in their eyes.
Xiao Deyin is not jealous of Xue Fangfei's talented husband, nor is she jealous of Xue Fangfei's stunning looks. She doesn't care about anything, but she is inferior to her stubbornness in the field of piano art.
She frantically wanted to destroy Xue Fangfei.
It's not that I haven't hesitated, after all, in the past ten years, only Xue Fangfei has understood her piano art best. Fairy Jinghong was born in a brothel, and the sound of the piano is mostly sluggish, she doesn't look down on it. Only Xue Fangfei's piano sound, clear and free, is what she admires most.
Moreover, when Xue Fangfei treated her, she really treated each other like a confidant. She is gentle and kind, and every time she sees Xue Fangfei's real eyes, Xiao Deyin can feel her darkness and madness.
Until one day, someone approached her and asked her if she would like to put something in Xue Fangfei's cup.
At first, Xiao Deyin thought that she had revealed too obvious that her jealousy had already been seen by others. But then I realized that the other party only came to her because she was Xue Fangfei's good friend, and it was better to start.
She pretended not to be moved by the gold and silver, and threatened her family with swords and swords. Xiao Deyin pushed the boat along the way, pretending that she couldn't bear the humiliation and agreed.
She has never allowed her reputation to leave a trace of taint. Even if the Dongchuang incident happened one day, she could also say that she was forced by others, not because of jealousy in her heart.
Xiao Deyin didn't know what the powder was, she guessed it was a deadly poison. I don't know who Xue Fangfei offended, but this purpose also coincides with her.
That night, Xiao Deyin waited and looked at the paper bag for a long time.
She has never killed anyone, and her hands have never been stained with blood. How can the hands that caress the piano harm people
But she also thought that as long as Xue Fangfei died, she could end this trembling day, and she didn't have to worry about Xue Fangfei's piano performance that day and compare her to her. Otherwise people would say, look, that man, he refused to marry, and gave up the opportunity to enter the palace. He just wanted to be the first luthier, but he was still beaten by others. He was really ignorant and daydreaming.
She doesn't want to be laughed at, she is willing to be the first luthier forever.
So Xiao Deyin put something in Xue Fangfei's drink. Everything was done according to the method that the mysterious person told her, but she did not expect that the powder was not a poison at all, but something more poisonous than poison. Even compared with Xue Fangfei's next encounter, death was considered an easy thing.
Xue Fangfei was found to have had an affair with others, and his reputation was ruined. She was mixed in the crowd, looking at her friend with a dazed gaze, being despised and disgusted by others, Xiao Deyin thought she would feel guilty for it, but she was surprised to find that at that moment, her heart was only happy.
She suddenly understood at that time, yes, she hated Xue Fangfei, she was jealous of Xue Fangfei, she was jealous of everything, and piano art. Jealous of her is blessed to be someone she can never be.
She turned and left.
So far, Xiao Deyin no longer stepped into the Shen family. Everyone said that it was because Mr. Xiao had noble character and did not want to associate with filthy people, but only Xiao Deyin knew that she was just a guilty conscience.
Xue Fangfei is so smart that she will soon want to understand her suspiciousness. She didn't want to face Xue Fangfei, it would make Xiao Deyin see clearly that she was such an unbearable ugly villain in her heart.
Time gradually passed, until one day, when the news of Xue Fangfei's death came, Xiao Deyin's heart was greatly relieved, so that no one would find out that it was the medicine he had given to Xue Fangfei. Her gloom and jealousy will disappear into the world with Xue Fangfei's death. She is still the gentle and noble first luthier, and she won't worry about becoming a joke one day.
As for who instructed her to administer the medicine, Xiao Deyin didn't care. Since the other party has succeeded, he will not be held accountable anymore. Heaven knows this matter, and the dead Xue Fangfei knows it, and no one knows it anymore.
However, Shen's "Guan Shanyue" and today's "Guan Shanyue" reminded her of facts that she had deliberately forgotten. Reminding her of what she had done back then, the kind of anxiety that would be taken away by others at any time appeared again. The difference from the past is that she now has a life debt on her back.
For a moment, Liushen had no master, and she didn't know what to do.
…
At the beginning of the new year, most people in Yanjing City are cheerful. Few people are frowning and gloomy. Xiao Deyin is one, and the master of the princess's mansion is also one.
Princess Yongning was sitting in the hall, and the maid on one side was playing the piano. The sound of the piano was also beautiful and clear. However, Princess Yongning made an appointment to listen to her, and her heart became more upset, her face involuntarily showing a little gloomy expression. Seeing this, Mei Xiang motioned to the maid not to play, and went out quickly. After the maid went out, the hall was quiet again.
There were fresh fruits and snacks on the table, but Princess Yongning was out of interest. A few days ago, she went to Shen's house for a banquet, thinking about taking the opportunity to get closer to Shen Yurong, but she didn't expect that Shen Yurong not only did not look happy, but also faintly accused.
She knows that the rumors of the Tongxiang case have not yet been completely calmed down, but she has to be restrained because of it, and it is really not the princess Yongning's temperament. The more cautious Shen Yurong is, the more the Princess Yongning has the atmosphere. If he really loves himself, how can he care about this? Naturally, he must be with himself even if he overcomes all obstacles. But looking at Shen Yurong's appearance now, it is clear that he will not decide to pass the door by himself until everything is foolproof.
This can't be done by him. Princess Yongning was impatient between her brows. She wanted to tell Princess Liu about this, but Princess Liu didn't really value Shen Yurong, and she was afraid she would not agree. Only tell King Cheng that King Cheng admires Shen Yurong very much. If King Cheng is on the side to help, this matter should be possible.
Princess Yongning thought of this and stood up: "I'm going to become a palace."
Mei Xiang quickly followed.
…
Tonger came back in the afternoon, and Bai Xue came back in the evening. These two maids went out one after the other, fearing that it might be suspicious, so they only talked about buying things the girl needed.
When he returned to the yard, Tonger first closed the doors and windows tightly, and said, "Girl, everything is going well. Then Mr. Xiao was as expected by the girl. After hearing the passers-by say this, he immediately returned to the house and stopped coming out. The maidservant hid in the dark, and saw the maid in their house come out to the doctor to grab the medicine, it seemed that Mr. Xiao had caught the cold."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "You did a great job."
She asked Tong'er to buy a few face-to-face people with money, and let them play "Guan Shanyue" where Xiao Deyin must go out, and then let them pretend to talk unintentionally and be heard by Xiao Deyin. There is a ghost in Xiao Deyin's heart, and he will naturally be surprised and afraid, showing his feet. To provoke the relationship between Xiao Deyin and Princess Yongning, she must first collapse herself.
But now that it is confirmed step by step that Xiao Deyin really helped him in the matter of his previous life and death, Jiang Li still has some unspeakable feelings. After all, she thought there was nothing wrong with Xiao Deyin, just because she wanted to fight for the title of first luthier, she hurt her friends, and Xiao Deyin was really hard-hearted. Moreover, for Xue Fangfei herself, she never thought about competing for a title.
Although Tong'er did what Jiang Li said, she was a little puzzled. Jiang Li and Xiao Deyin didn't seem to be celebrating, so she asked, "Why did the girl do this? Has Mr. Xiao done anything?"
"She once killed someone," Jiang Li said: "What I did was just to help her remember the sins she committed. Otherwise, after a long time, she would have forgotten it herself. She thought it was really bright, pure and innocent. A life of goodness."
Tong'er was surprised: "Mr. Xiao has harmed people?! This is really invisible!"
Yes, who can tell, after all, a person who has no desires takes the initiative to harm others, and no one believes it. Xue Fangfei, a close friend, didn't see it, let alone an outsider.
Just after saying this, someone knocked on the door outside, and Bai Xue's voice sounded: "Is the girl in the house? The servant girl is back."
Tonger quickly opened the door, and Bai Xue came in. She ran for about a day, and there were some fine beads of sweat on her forehead in the big winter. But she looked at Jiang Li with apologetic eyes, and said, "Girl, the servant girl ran through the famous drugstores in Yanjing City, and there was no such medicine." She said, "At the end, it is eye-catching. Covering his face with the hat, he didn't dare to go directly to the house, and walked around for a long time before coming back."
This was in Jiang Li's expectation, she said: "So, thank you very much."
"Girl, why don't you go to look elsewhere? It's not in the drugstore. Maybe this kind of medicine is in the hands of some famous doctors. After all, it's a folk remedy..."
"The folk remedy has not been verified before, so there is a guarantee. If there is a life worry, someone will inevitably investigate it. If it finds it out on our heads, it won't be right." Jiang Li shook his head, "It's okay, I will think of another way. That's it, Bai Xue, you have been running for a day, so hurry up and rest."
Bai Xue nodded, Tong'er looked at Bai Xue curiously, and then at Jiang Li. She didn't know what Jiang Li was doing to explain to Bai Xue, but she didn't ask much, and soon left the house with Bai Xue.
Jiang Li stayed in the room alone and sighed. It went well for Tong'er, but it was difficult for Baixue to handle it. That’s right, it’s not easy to get these things done. She couldn't move the power of Jiang Mansion at will, otherwise Jiang Yuanbai would find out what she was doing, and she wouldn't know how to answer when she asked.
Jiang Youyao hasn't found her whereabouts yet, Jiang Yuanbai's mood is already very bad, she can't cause Jiang Yuanbai to trouble at this moment, it will be detrimental to her.
Thinking about it, I didn't realize that the sky was already dark. Jiang Li looked at the sky. It was already night. There were no voices outside. She wanted to reach out and close the window. The wind blew out the lights on the table when she suddenly heard the sound of someone's footsteps.
In the silence, the footsteps were neither light nor heavy, nor swift and slow, looking at the sound of the seeker who wanted to provoke them with magic power.
A fascinating face appeared in front of the window, and his red shirt was sprinkled with black and gold butterflies, which was gorgeous and gloomy.
"Grandpa Guo?" Jiang Li looked at him in astonishment, but in this astonishment, the initial panic was no longer there. It's like discovering a beast that broke into the house by mistake in the night. After a moment of surprise, it passed.
He walked to the window, and the next moment, he appeared in the room. Jiang Li couldn't even see his movements clearly, only that the red clothes flashed in front of him. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to close the window tightly, fearing that others would see and hear the movement here, and arouse suspicion.
The young man sat down in front of the small table in the room as if he was very familiar, poured tea, drank tea, and asked by the way, "I heard that your maid is looking for medicine that can cause false pregnancy in Yanjing City today. Why, you Who do you want to use it for?" He looked at Jiang Li and teased, "I'm afraid you won't be able to use it yourself."
Jiang Li paused and said in his heart a quick voice. Only a few hours after Bai Xue came back, Ji Heng's men knew immediately. In this world, it is obviously the easiest to borrow Ji Heng's power, so why bother to do it herself. But there is no other way, she is still shameless, embarrassed to ask Ji Heng to help herself again and again.
"It was used on Princess Yongning." After a pause, Jiang Li said.
Ji Heng took a cup of tea and looked at her, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I know." Jiang Li smiled and said, "I know better than anyone else. I think the time has come, and if I delay like this, I won't wait. I really want to finish this matter soon. Princess Yongning loves Shen Yurong very much. , No matter how dissatisfied she is, she will still shrink back for Shen Yurong in the end, or that Shen Yurong can coax her into this. If this continues, it will take a few years to wait."
"This can't work, I have to help them." Her voice was calm and gentle.
Ji Heng looked at her. She had concealed much before, but now she barely concealed it from him. Except for the secret in her heart, she can almost tell everything else, as if she trusts herself very much.
"Oh, did you find the medicine you were looking for?" Ji Heng asked
Jiang Li shook his head: "No, this is not easy."
"Even if you find it, it will not be easy for you to get close to Yongning and let her take medicine."
Jiang Li smiled: "I know it naturally, so I'm still thinking about countermeasures."
"You should know," he said with a faint smile, playing with a folding fan, "I can help you."
Jiang Li stunned slightly, then smiled, and shook his head: "Duke Guo has helped me a lot, and this matter is also risky. Behind Princess Yongning is Cheng Wang, if you can find the Lord Guo on the boat..."
"Then you underestimate me," he said with a faint sneer, "I did it, and no one would notice."
"Then what price do I have to pay?" Jiang Li smiled sincerely, "I thought about it for a while, and there was nothing in my whole body worthy of the grandfather's conspiracy. This deal is not for the grandfather of the country. It’s a good deal. If Grandpa Guo helps me, I will pay more than I get. I really have no face, and I will take advantage of you again."
The words were so high-sounding that Ji Heng couldn't find a rebuttal. He stared at Jiang Li's eyes and narrowed his beautiful eyes, "I found that you are not suitable for being a profiteer. Your conscience is really useless."
"Am I a person with no conscience in the eyes of Grandpa Guo?" Jiang Li also smiled.
"In the beginning I thought so, but now it seems that I was wrong." Ji Heng said leisurely, "You are a good person."
When he first met her, it was at the nun's nunnery on Qingcheng Mountain. He watched her arrange well and deceived everyone. He raised a harmless face, said a few words softly, and drank a few words. With tears, I will achieve my goal. The teenage girl was not bad at planning, as if she had come out of the shadow of a sword. At that time, he knew that the girl was not a good kind.
After all the misunderstandings, I returned to Yanjing, seeing her dealing with her stepmother, her concubine, and her fiancé who was pregnant with a ghost. There is no fear at all, and he always shuffles other people's chess with a slight smile. She returned to Tongxiang to deal with the Xue family's case, facing Feng Yutang's persecution, and facing Princess Yongning's pursuit and killing, it was nothing more than to lure others into a trap.
He could see the cold heart under her gentle appearance, but sometimes Ji Heng thought that Jiang Li was not a ruthless girl. She can help Xue Huaiyuan and fight for other people's affairs. She blessed and protected her softly on New Year's Eve, and at this moment she gave in because of guilt and was unwilling to let others pay blindly.
Sometimes Ji Heng could feel her kindness, her tenderness and her coldness combined, which made her whole person contradictory and attractive, which made people unable to help but pay attention. She seemed to try her best to get rid of something and make herself grow into another person, but the mark in her bones was deeply left behind.
She may not have noticed the changes in herself.
"The Lord Guo said so, it coincides with my thoughts." She looked at Ji Heng and smiled slightly. "At first I also thought Lord Guo was very ruthless, but now it seems that I was wrong. Up."
"No one in the world has said that I am a good person." Ji Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Then I will be the first." She smiled.
For some reason, she seems to be a lot quieter now than she was before. Astonishment flashed in Ji Heng's heart, he said, "No one can do Situ refining medicine. She can make the fake pregnancy medicine you mentioned."
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and Ji Heng said again: "I can also get someone to do it, and Yongning can take this medicine. But there is no such thing as a gift in vain."
Jiang Li said, "Duke Guo, but it doesn't matter."
"The king will probably raise an issue shortly after becoming the king, and it is necessary for the Jiang family to disperse part of the king's attention during the introduction."
Jiang Li was surprised: "So fast?"
"Hurry?" Ji Heng smiled, "For him, it's already very late."
Jiang Li replied: "I know. It is the Lord Guo who does not explain. Once the king becomes the king, his father will deal with the king. Cheng Wang originally regards the Jiang family as a thorn in the eye. Once he succeeds, he must liquidate the Jiang family. Paul, my father will not stand by."
"Besides, the Jiang family needs to target the emperor and make all sorts of deeds, making people think that the Jiang family is uncomfortable with the status quo and has ambitions."
This time, Jiang Li was really stunned. She asked, "Why is this?"
"At that time, I will understand, and now I only need to do this." Ji Heng suddenly smiled. There was something unclear in his smile, but the outline of the whole person was vivid and handsome. He said: "This Once, I invite you to watch the show."
Jiang Li stared at him, faintly feeling that what Ji Heng was going to do next was no more frightening than her dealing with Yongning. It's just that she knows that she can't ask more, this is not something she can ask about.
"Your roasted venison is very good." Ji Heng said: "If you have some free time, you can come to the house and roast more."
Jiang Li: "..."
She really wanted to say no, but she got help from others, so she rejected them and couldn't make sense, so she had to say "OK" with her head dully.
Ji Heng seemed to be amused by her attitude. Jiang Li looked at his smile, and suddenly remembered another thing, and quickly said: "Speaking of which, Lord Guo knows that Jiang Youyao escaped from the house. ?"
"Jiang Youyao?" Ji Heng frowned and said, "I don't know, I don't care."
Also, for a person like Ji Heng, he doesn't need to ask about things he doesn't care about. Jiang Li said: "The maid beside Jiang Youyao said that Jiang Youyao had gone to Ji's house when he escaped. But the Ji's side said that Jiang Youyao had never been there-Ji's family can't lie about this matter. Father also went to Ningyuan Hou's Mansion to inquire about it. Jiang Youyao is not in Ningyuanhou's Mansion either. It has been reported to the official. Although there is no publicity, the search has not stopped, but there has been no news for so long."
When Ji Heng heard this, he already knew it, raised his eyebrows and asked: "You mean, you want me to help find out Jiang Youyao's whereabouts." He glanced at Jiang Li, "How kind are you?"
"Not so," Jiang Li just felt amused. "Although I am not a bad person, I have never thought of complaining with virtue. I just want to know the whereabouts of Jiang Youyao. If she is okay and does not involve Jiang's family, I am too lazy. Go find it. If she might cause trouble for the Jiang family, it is better for her father to bring her back quickly. With her ability to cause trouble, I think it is not a wise thing to let her walk outside."
This is true. Now the situation is complicated and complicated. If someone uses Jiang Youyao as an attacker to attack the Jiang family, it will be a disaster. Jiang Li thought to himself, since Yongning had already asked Ji Heng to help with this matter, I should also ask Ji Heng to help.
"Yes," Ji Heng nodded: "If there is news from her, I will let Zhao Ke tell you."
"Thank you, Lord Guo." Jiang Li thanked him.
"No thanks, yes," he said: "The maid named Haitang has a completely better face. This face is not suitable for walking outside, otherwise it is easy to be spotted by the people of Yongning. If you want to see her, come to the country. Gongfu. Let Zhao Ke pass on if you have any words."
When Jiang Li heard this, he was overjoyed for a moment, which is really a good thing. Haitang has restored his appearance! This maid who suffered this bad luck for her finally recovered one thing she had lost. This made Jiang Li's guilt alleviated a lot.
The joy on her face was hard to conceal, Ji Heng had a full view, and the corner of his lips curled up, "Are you very happy?"
"Very happy." Jiang Li said, "I really appreciate Grandpa Guo. I want to see Haitang tomorrow, okay?"
She looked at Ji Heng with clear eyes, showing her sincere yearning. Ji Heng turned her head away and said, "Yes."
After a while, he said: "You can also look at Xiaohong."
Xiao Hong? Jiang Li was taken aback, who was Xiao Hong? She has never heard this name before, is she someone she knows
Before she could ask, Ji Heng stood up and left from the window.
