In the midsummer of July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the entire capital city is shrouded in scorching sun.
Early this morning, Ning Qianyi asked people to come to Qing Manyao to go to the tea garden for a talk. Manyao was very puzzled, he had come to the General's Mansion to see her a few times before! What is it that is inconvenient for the General Mansion to say that he needs to go to the tea garden this time? Moreover, Ning Qianyi chose to go to Yueyue Tea Garden.
There are not many customers in the Longyue Tea Garden during the day, so Man Yao saw a noble man in purple sitting alone under the green cherry blossom village at a glance from a distance. Where she walked, the servants in the tea garden bowed to her, but did not come forward to greet her, which was her previous order.
Seeing her arrive, Ning Qianyi got up to greet her, and asked with concern: "Has the princess recovered from her injuries?" "
Manyao smiled back, and said: "Prince Lao is worried about it, it's all right now."
Ning Qianyi smiled and said, "I'm relieved now. It's all because of me that you were injured. I never said thank you properly."
Man Yao said meaninglessly: "Prince, you don't have to worry about it so much. As I said, I will help you, but not for you. If I knew that blow almost killed me, maybe I wouldn't have blocked it for you." She laughed as she spoke. She doesn't like to owe favors to others, and she doesn't need others to think about her life-saving grace all the time. Besides, she did save him for many reasons.
Ning Qianyi shook her head with a smile. In this world, it is really rare to see such a special woman as a princess. You saved someone's life, and you still don't make others feel grateful. "
Manyao smiled casually, and the two sat down together. Ning Qianyi ordered a pot of tea and poured a cup for her with his own hands. It's fine for the princess to just call me Qianyi from now on. We can be regarded as friends in life and death, so those polite etiquettes can be avoided if possible. "
Ning Qianyi is a straightforward person, since there is no one else, Man Yao doesn't make any excuses, and replied lightly: "Okay."
Ning Qianyi looked at her with burning eyes, and asked with a bright smile: "Then I... call you Rongle, or Liyue? The transparent glass, the bright moon... I think the name Liyue is more suitable for you!
The bright sun shines through the glazed skylight, and sprinkles a round of light orange. Ning Qianyi is holding the cup, smiling heartily and brightly, that thin halo mixed with the ripples of the Milky Way and silver water between the two of them. whole body. The transparency of the glass and the brightness of the moon are just names randomly chosen by the Ninth Prince, and they are different in everyone's mouth. She vaguely remembered that she was also under this cherry blossom village, and the man said, "Liulimu, Yuehua people, women should be like this." She still remembers clearly, and all the entanglements between her and that man seemed to be doomed at that time up.
Ning Qianyi saw that her eyes were dim, and she was staring at him in a daze. The expression in her eyes was unpredictable, complicated and unspeakable. He couldn't help feeling suspicious, and asked embarrassingly: "Liyue, did I... say something wrong?"
Man Yao came back to her senses in shock, and lightly frowned, they were obviously two completely different people, one seemed to be a representative of the light, and the other was like a god of hell walking on the edge of darkness, but she fell in love just because of one sentence. I remembered that person.
Since the last farewell to Fuliuyuan, everything in the past seems to have become more and more clear in her heart. She lowered her eyebrows, shook her head, trying to get rid of those inexplicable thoughts, and then said lightly: "No. The name is just a code name. You can call it whatever you want." As he spoke, he glanced around and saw that no one was following him, so he asked casually, "Aren't you worried that anyone will harm you when you enter this teahouse by yourself?"
Ning Qianyi's eyes were bright, and he said with a half-joking smile that this is your place, and I'm not worried.
Such a seemingly simple sentence really surprised Manyao. Her eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be that he knows something? Thinking about it carefully, who is the person who least wants the Dust Wind Nation to form an alliance with the Lintian Nation? And that day, the man in black was extremely ruthless and merciless, clearly intending to marry their lives, but after they met the leader of the man in black, the man repeatedly emphasized that she could leave, and when she accidentally fell into the lake , the man in black ran to the edge of the cliff nervously... Combining all these, it seems that it is not difficult to guess.
Man Yao raised her eyes slowly, and saw that he was smiling frankly, the eyes were not probing, but a kind of thorough understanding. She couldn't help sitting up straight in amazement, and re-examined the bold and handsome man in front of her. A gentleman is magnanimous, which is probably what he described. A future king is really extraordinary. Since the other party is so frank, she doesn't need to cover up, she knows it when she knows it, and if he has other thoughts, she won't say it.
She smiled wryly at Ning Qianyi, first tied the most insensitive question, and asked: "How do you know this is my place.
Ning Qianyi glanced at the waiter at the door, and said with a smile, "When someone enters the tea garden, someone will come forward to greet you, say hello, and guide you to a seat. Only after you come in, they will only salute but do nothing else. The way you treat your master. Am I right
This person's mind is really meticulous enough, even an inconspicuous movement and detail can make him see the clue. Manyao smiled approvingly, "Is there any other basis?"
Ning Qianyi looked around seriously, with undisguised deep admiration and admiration in her eyes, "I heard that this tea garden was designed by you yourself, it's so beautiful! It's like a fairyland. The round pebbles like pearls The piled Mingxi canal, the well-trimmed willows with rare twigs, the bright, luxurious and exquisite glazed palace lanterns, and the high-quality white jade table", look at the whole garden, from the ground to the top of the garden, even a small The corner pedicles are all meticulously carved and perfect to the extreme, but these are not as good as the shimmering water patterns in your garden that seem to flow sideways from the Milky Way, and the wonderful thought that the bright moon is shrouded in a single person. Such painstaking efforts, A well-crafted garden can no longer be sold with gold and silver, and you don't lack silver, so how can you really be willing to sell it easily? "I remember the first time I came here, it was one night, he was really stunned at that time, and he couldn't express the shock in his heart. At that time, he was thinking, how extraordinary the person who designed this garden must be!
Man Yao's eyes were full of light, and he smiled softly: "Your analysis seems to make sense."
Ning Qianyi smiled complacently, revealing the inherent pride and conceit of a prince. He suddenly turned his eyes, leaned forward a little bit, and asked very kindly: "I'm very surprised, you are a princess, how can you understand these things?" "
Man Yao was stunned, turned his eyes a few times, smiled lightly, lowered his head to drink tea, and did not answer this question. She would rather not answer than lie to such a person.
Ning Qianyi is so smart, seeing that she didn't want to tell, naturally she didn't ask any more. Picking up the tea, he drank a full cup in one gulp like drinking wine, changed the subject casually, chatted for a while, and then said: "The Temple of Guanhe that day, although you hurt yourself, but you handled the matter smoothly. Very well, you are very smart, so smart that it breaks my heart. You play the piano well, beyond my imagination. If you try your best to play that high mountain song, I think it will definitely shock the world and make you famous all over the world.
Man Yao smiled shallowly, with an imperceptible bitterness at the corner of her mouth, and a faint sadness hidden between her brows, she asked softly: "So what if the name is passed down to the world?" Tired of fame, how can we be peaceful and peaceful? What she wants is so simple, but why is it so difficult to achieve
Ning Qianyi was taken aback for a moment, people in the world pursue fame and fortune, they always hope to become a blockbuster, and their name will last forever, who would think about it, so what if the name is passed on to the world? Can it bring more benefits? Or can it win more respect and admiration
He looked at the woman with a faint smile and a distant smile, and suddenly felt a little dazed. If one glance at her stunning beauty made him fall in love at first sight: on the same day when she met a powerful enemy, she was not afraid of life and death and saved him from danger, which moved him; Concubine Xuanyan's ingenuity of self-harming her body to turn the situation around made him feel distressed and impressed, but today, her detached indifference and tranquility, and her desolate sadness that accompanied her like a shadow made him feel a little at a loss.
He didn't know whether it was good for him to be attached to such a woman, or not? How can a person who doesn't care about anything bring her happiness
Seeing that he was silent for a while, Man Yao just stared at her in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you looking at me like this?" What I said is "difficult to understand?" Yes, a prince like him naturally hopes to be famous all over the world and spread through the ages.
Ning Qianyi's heroic and heroic face moved slightly, as if thinking for a while, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender wrist, Man Yao was startled, and instinctively withdrew his hand, but was tightly held by him, and she couldn't break free , frowning displeased and said what are you doing? "
Ning Qianyi's eyes were as hot as the scorching sun in June, and he asked the same question that he had been thinking about these days very directly, without turning a corner at all, "Liyue, are you willing to come with me?" Come with me to the Dustwind Country, the people of the Dustwind Country are full of wind and wind, without the many plots and calculations of the people of the Lintian Kingdom, you will definitely like it there,
Man Yao was startled, staring at her eyes and asked with a smile: What are you going to Dust Wind Country for
Ning Qianyi's eyes were bright, and she suddenly changed from her usual boldness, and asked cautiously: To be my wife, to be my future queen, would you...will you? "
Manyao was stunned for a moment, she only thought he was joking, and laughed out of nowhere in an unbelievable way.
Ning Qianyi suppressed her smile, looked at her for a moment, paused every word, and said earnestly: "I'm serious!"
The laughter stopped suddenly, and Man Yao's eyes were filled with surprise. She didn't know that Ning Qianyi had a crush on her, but, don't men in this world value women's chastity? She can understand Bocho's humiliation as her identity is of value, but what is Ning Yuyi doing for it? Bringing a consort princess from another country back to be a queen would not only bring disasters to him and his country, but also make him the object of ridicule by the people all over the world.
Meeting his fiery and calm eyes, her expression gradually became dignified, and her eyes lingered on his majestic face. She asked in a very serious tone: "You know... what are you talking about? Marry a Is it suitable to be a married woman? Even if you don’t care, will your parents and your subjects agree? Besides, don’t forget, I am the Princess Heqin of Qiyun Kingdom, and my husband is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of a country , Have you considered the consequences of doing so?" A future king should always be sober and not be emotional. Wake him up with reality, this is the only thing she can do at the moment.
Ning Qianyi's expression froze, but she didn't expect that a woman like her could point out all the interests in such a short moment. He thought about it calmly, and said, "I've thought about what you said. As long as Emperor Lintian gets enough benefits, there are ways to give you a new identity, but these are not the biggest problems for me. , the most important thing is "Will you come with me?" "She thought that this foreign prince who had only met a few times was just a joke on a whim, but unexpectedly he had already thought it through. The safety of the country, he said, the biggest issue is her wishes! She is just an ordinary woman, and she will be touched by such a man. Man Yao looked at him silently, at the man who looked like sunshine, she was a bit shaken, if she went with him Will Dust Wind Nation be able to escape the mercy of fate, can it be free from betrayal and harm
Why?" she asked him.
Ning Qianyi focused on the sadness buried in her eyes and the helplessness and sadness of fate. He spoke in an extremely sincere voice, softly and slowly, because you "are not happy." It can be seen that he has also seen the clues of the entanglement between her and Li Wang and their occasional eye contact and avoidance. That's why he wanted to take her away even more, willing to risk the displeasure of the world. The Lintian Kingdom has a strong military and ambitions, and cooperating with it is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger, but he is willing. It might be called reckless to do such a thing for a woman who only met a few times, but only he knew in his heart that he fell in love at first sight and haunted her dream ever since, and he was destined to be unable to escape.
Man Yao's heart trembled, she quietly caressed the teacup in her hand, the blue and white unevenness on the white porcelain surface rubbed against her fingertips, the slightly warm temperature from the tentacles along the edge of the cup penetrated gently through the skin of her fingertips Slowly penetrated into the bottom of my heart. She looked down at her hands, and after a while, she said thank you very sincerely to him, Qian Yi. "After she finished speaking, she raised her head and changed her tone, which was very light. She looked at him and asked: "If I come with you, can you be sure that I will be happy?"
Ning Qianyi was also shocked. After thinking about it, Fang Dao said, "I am sure that I will give you everything I can, but I don't know if that is what you want, so I can't be sure whether you want it or not." Will be happy. But I, "I have confidence in myself!"
After hearing this, Man Yao was not in a hurry to respond. He just leaned back on the back of the chair and said with a faint smile, "What can you give me. Peace and prosperity?" Status and power? Or gold and silver jewelry. "It sounded like a disdainful question, but from what she said, it was a serious discussion of major events in life, and she didn't mean to belittle or despise the other party at all.
Ning Qianyi naturally knew that she didn't lack those things and would not pay attention to them, but it was undeniable that those were things he could give her. He stretched out his hands to hold her hand, such a delicate and soft touch made his heart soaked into a mess, he said: "Also, "My sincerity!
Manyao watched him hold her hand tightly, feeling the fine sweat oozing from his palm, a warm current flowed through her heart, after a moment of struggle and hesitation, she smiled slightly: "Sangong Sixth Courtyard, there are countless beauties , how true do you think the sincerity of an emperor is?"
Ning Qianyi's body trembled, and her expectant eyes gradually dimmed.
He suddenly fell silent, not because he couldn't be sure of his heart, but because he suddenly understood what she wanted! It was the most extravagant thing an emperor could not promise. His father loved his queen mother so much, but for the sake of the court, he still married many concubines.
He took a breath, finally let go of her hand, lowered his eyes and said sadly: Liyue, I understand. "I understand what she meant by saying that. This woman even refuses in such a clever way!
Manyao smiled relievedly, a little sorry, but she could only do this. Ning Qianyi is really a good man. He is magnanimous, and he does things aboveboard. When you get along with him, you don't need to be on guard, so you won't feel depressed. If he is not the future emperor, then he should be a very good life partner. . And the king's harem is by no means her destination.
People are probably so sure because they can't predict the future. In the end, it was all because Ning Qianyi was not the person in her heart.
When parting, Ning Qianyi said, "I'm afraid General Fu already knew about the assassination last time. I will be leaving in a few days. If you need me, just come and find me."
What he meant, she understood. Man Yao looked at him gratefully, and thoughtfully said why, you don't doubt me at all."
Ning Qianyi smiled loudly, "Why do you doubt you?" Do you suspect that you set up a trick to get close to me on purpose? Hehe, who is stupid enough to get into his own situation and work so hard for others? You are so smart, you have the wisdom and ability to organize, but you are not the kind of woman who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal. With so many lives, you can tell by the look on your face when you kill someone. If, "If these are all bureaus you set up, then I will admit it."
Feeling a little shy in my heart, Man Yao didn't know what to say. A future king, so stupid, I don’t know whether it’s good or not.”
Ning Qianyi left, Man Yao did not leave immediately, but looked in the direction of the piano stage, the person playing the piano there had already changed. Chen Yu is now the nominal new boss of this tea garden. After all, people who have been in Fengyue Field for a long time are very good at handling things. Probably because they have seen too many men's misfortune in the brothel, it is easy to accept that a woman like Manyao should have Independent minds of their own lives. From just playing the piano at the beginning to running the tea garden later, after a long time of careful cultivation by Man Yao, she lived up to Man Yao's expectations and managed the tea garden in a splendid manner
Man Yao got up and went straight to the back garden, turned around a glass wall, Chen Yu had already greeted him, and said with a smile: "The prince is gone."
Chen Yu is more charming than a year ago! There is also a bit of businessman's shrewdness in the bright eyes. After more than a year of getting along, the two of them met without the first politeness, Man Yao nodded and asked, what happened to Zhao Yun? Mood can improve. "Since the flower viewing feast, Zhaoyun has moved into the other courtyard in the western suburbs. Although she got rid of the entanglement of the Xiaoyaohou Mansion, after all, her words are formidable, and she is idle all day long, so she is easy to think wildly, so Man Yao So he asked her to come to the tea garden, saying it was to help Chen Yu, but in fact, he wanted her to get in touch with more people, so as not to be alone.
Chen Yu said: "It's much better than the first two days when I first came here. At first she didn't like to talk, she wanted to hide from everyone she saw. Now she gets along with everyone for a while, sometimes laughing and making trouble, lively Quite a lot. In the past few days, she has been learning about accounting with Lao Zhang."
That's good. "Man Yao was relieved a little, Zhaoyun is so young, he shouldn't live in the shadow of an unhappy marriage all his life. The two of them had already arrived at the management room in the back garden. As soon as they entered the room, they saw that the old Zhang who was in charge of the accounts was full of black hair. Line, staring helplessly at a woman in a pink dress, sighed.
Manyao laughed and asked what happened? "
Ah, sister Rongle, are you here? "When Zhaoyun saw Manyao, she ran over happily with a smile. That action reminded her of how she looked when she saw Zhaoyun. After all, she is still a child of seventeen or eighteen years old! She should be carefree age.
Man Yao glanced at the messy bills on the table, then at Lao Zhang's face, took Zhao Yun's hand, and asked: Did you make a mistake? "
Zhao Yun stuck out her tongue and lowered her head, not daring to look at Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang sorted out the pile of bills all morning, but she insisted on helping, and then the help became more and more helpful. Because of her status, Lao Zhang couldn't get angry, so he could only complain secretly in his heart.
Manyao scolded: "Zhaoyun, quickly apologize to Lao Zhang."
Old Zhang was startled, he didn't care about the bill, he shook his hands in a panic and said, "No way! Princess, you've broken the villain. How dare the villain ask the princess to apologize!"
Manyao smiled and said: "There is no princess here, Zhaoyun comes to work in the tea garden, just like everyone else, there is no distinction of status or equality. Zhaoyun, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Well, sister Rong Le is very right. Lao Zhang, I'm sorry! I will make sure to sort it out next time, and there will be no more chaos."
No, no, thank you princess for your kindness. The villain can figure it out by himself. "After Lao Zhang said that, he hurriedly saluted and retreated.
Man Yao couldn't help chuckling, "Zhao Yun, are you still used to being here?"
Zhao Yun nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "Well, I like this place, sister Chen Yu, and everyone here is very kind to me, sister Rong Le, thank you!
Man Yao took her hand and said earnestly: "The only thing I can help you with is this, the rest is up to you. Don't live in the past, life is still very long! You can get rid of the shackles and gain freedom, Zhao Yun ,I admire you!"
Zhaoyun's freedom is here, but when will she be free
It was already noon when I returned to the General's Mansion. After lunch, I took a nap in the room to scrape, and then read a book for half a day to pass the time.
When it was dark, Xiang Ying came.
Man Yao found a reason to send Ling'er out, and then asked: "How is the investigation going? Did someone bring it? Didn't anyone find out along the way?"
Xiang Ying nodded and said: "Master, please rest assured that she has already brought her, but no matter what I ask her, she refuses to say anything, so I have to temporarily arrange her in my room.
Manyao said: "Okay. Let's go and have a look."
The house Xiang Ying lives in is just like his usual self, tidy and clean. Apart from a single bed and a mulberry that is neither tall nor big enough, there is almost nothing else in the room.
After Man Yao was led into the room, she saw a young woman lying comatose on the corner of the bed, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and delicate features, she was a beauty.
Xiang Ying stepped forward to release the woman's faint acupoint, the woman woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes and saw Xiang Ying, she seemed to be frightened, and wanted to cry out, Xiang Ying's eyes were quick, and she quickly touched her dumb acupoint.
Manyao winked at Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying understood, turned around and closed the door for her, and consciously went to ask the guard outside.
Man Yao stepped forward and looked at the woman for a while, only to see that her almond eyes were wide open, the eyes full of fear revealed a clarity that was not stained by the world and a simplicity that was untouched by the world.
Is this the lovely brothel woman who made Xiao Sha run to Ruanxianglou all the time? Man Yao frowned, slightly surprised in her heart, this woman did not look like a person in the world, but more like a pure and spiritual woman conceived in a certain spiritual mountain far away from the world of mortals, pure and beautiful, people naturally want to be good treat her. Man Yao squatted down, patted the woman's slightly trembling shoulders comfortingly, showed a smile that made people most vulnerable to defense, and said in a gentle and friendly voice: "Girl, don't be afraid. I invite you here without malice, I just want to find you Let's chat. I've unlocked your acupoints now, so please keep quiet, okay
Some people are born with a kind of calming power. Looking at Man Yao's smile, the worry and fear in her heart subsided unconsciously. She blinked her big watery eyes and nodded slightly.
Man Yao relieved her acupuncture points, and sat down beside the bed while holding her hand.
The woman turned her head to look at Yin, and asked timidly, "Where is this?" Why am I here? Who are you? Who was that person just now? Manyao was amused by her series of questions. Manyao explained with a smile: "This is my house. That man was my bodyguard just now. I asked him to bring you here. Did he scare you?"
The woman nodded, her eyes suddenly became more defensive, and she said, "What did you ask him to bring me here for?"
Man Yao gently held up Nu Yu's hand, and touched her pulse gate inadvertently with her fingertips. Seeing that her pulse was beating extremely slowly, as if it would stop at any moment, she couldn't help being startled, and suddenly frowned and said: "Who are you from Xiao Sha?"
The woman panicked, quickly withdrew her hand, stood up, looked at Manyao vigilantly, and said very firmly: Don't talk to me, I won't say anything. Even if you kill me, I won't say anything. After all, she held her head up, with a look that would rather die than submit, it was really cute.
Man Yao couldn't help being amused, and also a little appreciative, this woman looks weak on the outside, but in fact she is strong, it seems that she can't be in a hurry.
Man Yao looked at her with a smile, and really didn't ask any questions.
After waiting for a while, the woman saw that Man Yao was only looking at her and smiling without speaking, her dark eyes rolled a few times, she was very puzzled, and thought, this woman's reaction was different from what she imagined. Ordinarily, she should continue to question her, or use some harsh punishment to frighten her. But why is she smiling so softly, like the last ray of sunshine in winter, making people unconsciously want to get closer. The woman blinked a few more times, and asked curiously, "You, what are you laughing at?" "
Manyao said with a friendly smile: "It's nothing. You don't have to be so guarded against me. I'm Xiao Sha's friend and I won't hurt you. Your hair is messed up. Come here and I'll comb it for you." She was like an elder sister Speaking the most gentle and caring words to her sister, the woman tilted her head and thought for a while, not knowing what was wrong, and walked over unconsciously. What a one-toned child! Man Yao thought so. He picked up the wooden comb on the table, gently combed her hair, and chatted with her casually. Although the woman had just met Manyao, she felt that she was not a bad person, and felt that she was very kind, getting along with her was indescribably comfortable, so, after a while, she slowly let go of her guard.
After half a stick of incense, Man Yao asked, "Your name is Keren", the woman pouted and said, "No, those people named it for me. "
Manyao smiled and said, huh? What's your real name then? The woman happily replied: "My name is Xiao Ke."
Xiao Ke? Her surname is Xiao! Man Yao suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said calmly: "Well, this name is really nice. Who helped you name it.
my mother. "
Your mother must be a beautiful woman. "
Yes, my mother is so beautiful", she suddenly turned her head excitedly, and regardless of whether her hair was combed well, she wanted to look into Man Yao's eyes and talk, seeing Man Yao's smiling face, she was stunned for a moment, feeling depressed. Mented: "However, it's still not as good-looking as you. "
Manyao chuckled, "Then where is your mother now? Why isn't she with you?"
Xiao Ke's eyes dimmed, his brows furrowed, and he said sadly: "When I was three years old, my parents died. In fact, I don't remember what they looked like for a long time. "
This is within Man Yao's expectation. It's really not easy for a three-year-old child who has lost his parents to maintain such a pure heart! She asked again: "Then you have no relatives? Who brought you up?"
Xiao Ke didn't even think about it, so he replied, "I still have an older brother." When I was young, my health was very poor and I was always sick. The doctors in the city said that I would not live to be five years old. My brother didn’t believe me, so he went to Xuewang Mountain and begged my master to take me in. He knelt in front of the master's door for many days. The master thought he was annoying and came out to drive him away. But when he saw me, he agreed somehow. "
Having said that, the relationship between this woman and Xiao Sha is already very clear. Now that the enemy and the enemy have been separated, and the cause and effect have been guessed a little bit, Man Yao decided not to worry about Yin Yin anymore, tied up the last lock of her hair, faced her face to face, and said directly and definitely that you are Xiao Sha's younger sister! "
Xiao Ke was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that she knew the reason why this woman was chatting with her, she instinctively wanted to deny it, but Man Yao suddenly put on a straight face and said seriously: "Do you want your brother to live?"
Xiao Ke was startled, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked anxiously: "What's wrong with my brother Ke?" What happened to him? "
Man Yao said: "Not yet, but soon."
Xiao Ke stood up suddenly, his eyes flustered and he was at a loss. Man Yao took her hand, his face softened, and he said softly: "Don't worry. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that he will be fine. It's just, "The poison on your body,"
Really? can you save my brother "Xiao Ke didn't wait for her to finish, and exclaimed happily, "The poison on my body doesn't matter."
Manyao hurriedly covered her mouth, "Hush your voice. You know that you have been poisoned...then do you know what kind of poison you have. Xiao Ke nodded and said: "I know. This kind of poison is called Qihehua "It is made of seven kinds of strange poisonous flowers. If there is no special antidote, I will die."
Manyao was stunned, how could a little girl know the secret medicine of Qiyun Kingdom's royal family so clearly, with Xiao Sha's character, it is unlikely that she would die without the antidote. While Man Yao was thinking about it, Xiao Ke suddenly asked suspiciously: "You said you are my brother's friend, but I've never heard my brother mention you," she tilted her head and thought carefully, and suddenly her eyes froze. Liang opened his almond-shaped eyes wide, and said, "Ah! I get it, you are a princess, right?"
Manyao was stunned for a moment, it seemed that although this woman was innocent, she was not without brains, and she guessed her identity all at once. Man Yao smiled and asked, "You know me?"
Xiao Ke nodded repeatedly, grabbed Man Yao's arm, and his expression suddenly became very intimate, as if he and Man Yao had known each other for a long time. The princess. My brother and I. Is the princess beautiful? He said, very beautiful. My brother also said that the princess treats the servants as if she were a friend. He accidentally injured the princess and asked me to help her to heal her wounds, but I don’t know why, and then said no. Since that day, my brother hasn’t laughed much. I think he is very sad, but he doesn’t tell me,- "
Man Yao listened to her quietly, her expression moved slightly, but she didn't say a word. After a while, she said: "You know medicine? You said just now that your master took you in, so who is your master?" ?”
Xiao Ke said: "I don't know Master's name, but I heard others call her 'Xuegu Shengnv,'."
Manyao was stunned, and looked at her in surprise, she turned out to be the apprentice of Saintess Xuegu? I heard that Saint Xuegu has an arrogant personality, eccentric temper, excellent medical skills but never likes to save lives and heal the wounded. Not long after, news of the death of Saintess Xuegu came out. Unexpectedly, the apprentice of Xuegu Saintess, who has superb poison skills, will also be poisoned by others. I don't know if Xuegu Saintess will crawl out of the ground in anger when she finds out. Man Yao frowned and asked: "You know the 'Zihe Hua', how could it be poisoned? How much do you know about Xiao Sha? "
Xiao Ke said innocently: "I was bored on the mountain, so I went down the mountain to find my brother, and I met those people." They said they took me to find my brother, and they poisoned me while I was asleep, and then put me in the bed. Sent to Ruanxianglou. I heard them tell my brother that this secret mission is of great importance, and if my brother can't complete the mission, let me pick up the guests.
This girl probably doesn't know what it means to pick up customers! She is really simple, she will believe when others say to take him to find her brother! However, she did find her brother, but the price was very high. Manyao sighed helplessly, and asked, "Can't you detox this poison yourself
Xiao Ke said: "I know the method of detoxification, but I still lack a precious medicinal material. Princess sister, can you help me find it? I don't want my brother to be bullied by those bad guys for me."
Her cry of "Princess Sister" is so natural, it seems to be justified. Comrade Manyao said, "What kind of medicinal material?"
Xiao Ke tilted his head and said, "Qi Juexin who can detoxify all kinds of poisons."
It must be a rare medicine that can detoxify a hundred poisons, which is rare in the world. Man Yao frowned, and said the same: "Do you know where it is?"
Xiao Ke shook her head in a daze, Man Yao suddenly felt her head hurting, Bi Ran remembered that it was the night of the full moon, she helped her forehead, "I'll send someone to send you back, today's matter, you can't tell anyone, including you elder brother."
Xiao Ke asked strangely: "Why?"
Man Yao took her hand and walked towards the door, and said as she walked, "I won't tell you for a while, but you just have to remember, I'm leaving to save him."
Xiao Ke nodded with half understanding.
Manyao called Xiang Ying and asked him to send Xiao Ke back to Ruanxianglou temporarily, and secretly protect her safety.
After explaining everything, Manyao walked slowly on the path back to Qingmi Garden alone, and the servants on the way saluted her, but she didn't respond at all. My mind is full of confusion, what exactly does the emperor want to do?" Kill the prince of the Dust Wind Kingdom, causing a war between the Dust Wind Kingdom and the Lintian Kingdom, so that he can reap the benefits of a fisherman? But has the Emperor Brother ever thought that if the assassination fails? What? What should she do as a married princess? Is the imperial power so important? It is so important that she can sacrifice her own relatives at will! She even remembered that when she left Kaiyun Kingdom, the emperor's brother sent him dozens of miles of land, In the end, she said to her sincerely: Sister Huang, you are the last relative of Brother Huang in this world, Brother Huang hopes that you can live happily!
Is this how Brother Huang wants her to be happy? First, he chose a husband as a substitute, forcing her to submit, and now, regardless of her life, he ordered to assassinate Prince Chenfeng. She suddenly couldn't tell whether the love for her brother in those three years was true or false
In this world, what is real? What is real
As soon as she arrived at the gate of Qingmi Garden, she had a severe headache, the pain seemed to explode, and she couldn't even stand still.
Ma'am, are you all right? "A guard saw it and hurried forward to ask.
Man Yao supported the circular arch next to her, took a breath, shook her head vigorously, and said, "Go and call Ling'er."
Seeing her pale face, the guards didn't dare to neglect her, and hurried away. After a while, Ling'er came running all the way, and said anxiously: "Master, where have you been?" I've been looking for you everywhere, the medicine is ready, go and drink it.
Man Yao said, "Well, she helped her by the hand and slowly entered the room, picked up the medicine on the table, frowned, and drank it in one gulp. This is the medicine she must take every month. It is said that it was taken in the cold palace when she was a child. The headache that came from the cold and the servant did not take good care of it. Every time the moon is full, it will attack. It was not serious every time before, as long as I drank the medicine and slept for a while, but this time I took the medicine. The time was only half an hour late, why did it hurt so badly
Before she could think about it, the upper and lower eyelids were already intertwined, and she couldn't open them. Ling'er helped her into the bedroom, and she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down in bed.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night becomes quiet and quiet. Bo Chou just returned home now, and as soon as he entered the study, the gentleness on his face faded, and his tired face appeared. He didn't light the lamp, and threw himself on a delicately crafted bamboo chair in the dark, closed his eyes and smashed his temples.
Today is the 25th day since he hasn't seen her! I don't know if she will think of him by chance? He is more and more afraid of facing her, because she always speaks sharply and points at the vital point, so he has to face the reality. But without her, the days seemed infinitely long.
A woman in black came out from the darkness, stepped forward, raised her slender fingers to push away his hand, and pressed his acupuncture points accurately, the strength was so good, as if she had been trained by a professional.
Fu Tzu relaxed his body, quietly enjoying the relief, and let out a heavy breath.
The woman in black looked down at the tired face of the man under her hand, and her eyes gradually overflowed with intense distress. She said softly, "Why does the young master force herself like this? There are obviously many things that you don't need to ask yourself, but you insist Take it to yourself, are you afraid that you will think of her involuntarily when you are free
Fu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, his expression was still gentle, but the gentle gaze made the woman in black tremble uncontrollably.
Pu Tuo's emotionless voice was extraordinarily deserted in the dark room, "It seems that you still don't recognize your identity."
The woman in black paused slightly, then continued, saying, "This subordinate knows her identity, and also knows about the young master's affairs. This subordinate has no right to intervene, but the sect master told his subordinates to tell the young master that Autumn Hunting is coming soon." , the young master should make a decision early. "
Fu Tiao's hands hanging on the edge of the chair trembled slightly, and the deep lines between the brows were like sharp swords piercing through the heart, hurting to the bone.
He closed his eyes again, even in the dark night, he didn't want others to see the struggle in his eyes. After a long time, he never said calmly like in the past, "I see.
The woman in black saw that he hadn't responded for a long time, and the sadness in her eyes became more intense, she tentatively called young master, you"
Fu Zhao suddenly interrupted: "Has there been any movement from the Prince's side recently?" "
The woman in black didn't expect him to change the subject, she was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Everything is normal."
Fu Tiao'en let out a sigh, and said again: "How is the matter of Concubine Lian going
The woman in black said: "According to the young master's order, it has been done. She has suffered a lot in the cold palace during this period, and she is looking forward to going out, so she is very willing to cooperate with us. Tonight is the night of the full moon. If Everything is going well, and there should be news that she has regained the favor tomorrow. But, young master, will that method really work? Let her play a cloud heart song in the middle of the night under Wuyong Village in the cold palace, and it will make her Get out of the cold palace smoothly?"
Fu Zhao said: "Whether it is useful or not, we will know tomorrow. Everyone has a dead spot, and the dead spot of Emperor Lintian is the memory of him and Concubine Yun Gui."
The woman in black nodded, but stopped talking. She thought the same, what is the young master's Achilles' heel? Is it that woman? "She didn't ask any questions.
In such a dark night, in such a quiet room, there were only the two of them. The woman in black suddenly had a thought, stopped the movements of her hands, walked gently to him and sat down, bent down without warning, and hugged him. The man's lean and strong waist lay on his chest, wanting to hear his heartbeat, even though she knew how unruly such an action was between them, and also knew that the heart never beat for her, But she just wanted to hear it, as long as she heard it, she felt that it was a kind of approach.
stand up. "The unceremonious voice embellished this straight day with a little coldness.
The woman in black raised her extremely beautiful face, a string of tears quickly slid down and landed on the chest of the man below her, young master... How long has he not looked at her, it seems that since the woman appeared .
Fu Tiao seemed not to be able to see the tearful face of the pear blossom, so he only lowered his voice, the usual gentle breath instantly became extremely cold, I told you to get up, can't you hear me? "
The woman in black bit her lip, stood up slowly, took a few steps back, turned around, and suddenly pulled away the belt around her waist, and the black gauze instantly collapsed to the ground, revealing her slender and graceful body.
The doors and windows of the study room were closed tightly, the moonlight coming through the window was as pale as tulle, and the woman's uneven body was enveloped in a hazy and seductive light.
The expression in Fu Zhao's eyes suddenly changed, and the beautiful person in the clear water pool suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but sit up. The woman in black turned around slowly, almost holding her breath, waiting for his reaction. If she can't walk into his heart, she is willing to be a substitute.
Fu Tiao clasped his fingers tightly to the edge of the chair under him, his Adam's apple rolled, and the veins in his hands showed his forbearance at the moment. He couldn't deny that he had a physical reaction to this woman who had a figure similar to hers. He is a normal man after all!
But he clearly knew that the person in front of him was not the woman in his heart. Sometimes, being too sober is not a good thing.
His hands unknowingly exerted force, and there was a click, and the edge of the bamboo collapsed by him, and the sharp bamboo stick pierced into the palm of his hand, causing tiny pains.
you go. Don't do this stupid thing again. You are not anyone's substitute, and no one can be her substitute. He slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the naked woman in front of him.
The woman in black almost bit her lip to bleed out, and her whole body was trembling, wouldn't that work? She wanted to give him some comfort, but she didn't expect that in his eyes, she wasn't even worthy of being a substitute? ! She crushed her own pride, but she couldn't get him to cherish him for a moment.
Tears rolled down her cheeks one after another, and she swallowed them silently. Silently bent down and put on the clothes on the ground, touched tears quietly, and bowed in a regular manner, young master, Chen Xiang "retire."
Fu Zhao watched her leave without saying a word. After a while, he called out to his new bodyguard standing outside: "Chang Jian, ask the bodyguard from Qingmi Garden to see me." "
yes. "
Hearing the sound, the waiter Wei Yuan who had been waiting outside hurriedly entered the room, saluted and said: "This subordinate has seen the general!"
Bi Tiao asked casually, "What special thing happened today?"
The guard said: "General, Madam went to Yuanyue Tea Garden in the morning and met Prince Chenfeng. When it was dark, I went to Guard Xiang's room again."
Bo Chou frowned and said, "What is she doing in Xiang Ying's room?"
The guard said: "This subordinate does not know. The guard Xiang is guarding the door, and the subordinate cannot approach."
Fu Tzu contemplated for a moment, and said: "Today, there are outsiders coming in from the mansion."
The subordinates have checked the same, and no one has ever seen outsiders enter the mansion. "
A trace of doubt flashed in Bochou's gentle eyes, and then he waved his hand, signaling him to back down. The guard took the order, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and continued to report: General, when Madam returned to Qingmi Garden, she suddenly had a headache and almost fainted, and then she fell asleep after dinner was useless.
Fu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and the voice he asked again was no longer as casual as before, can you please call for a doctor? "
Ling'er said that there is no need to call the doctor. "
Fu Tzu's expression froze, and he went straight to Qingmi Garden without changing his clothes.
The familiar house is filled with a woman's light and sweet scent, and the Japanese walk very lightly, as silently as a ghost. He gently sat on the side of the bed, looking at the sleeping face of the woman under the silver moonlight, a corner of his heart that was quietly opened became softer and softer.
As soon as he walked into this room, the exhaustion of many days suddenly disappeared, and the persistence for so many days became meaningless at this moment.
Rongle, autumn hunting is coming, what should I do? This question, in these days, he asked himself countless times in his heart. She was absolutely right. A chess player who has feelings for the chess piece in his hand will be in a dilemma when it is time to sacrifice. Why does she always see everything so thoroughly and so far
From the very beginning, someone told him that this woman cannot love. At that time, he thought disdainfully in his heart, how can a person who doesn't even love himself fall in love with others? Besides, he has a heavy burden on his body, and his emotions are just superfluous to him, and he never takes it to heart. But when he saw this woman at a glance, he had a bad premonition that this woman might be the one he couldn't escape!
And everything that followed confirmed his intuition.
It's not that he hasn't tried to fight against himself, he has deliberately ignored and escaped, but in the end it was of no avail. Not touching her for more than a year, he lied to himself at first that it was to leave a memory for Zongzheng Wuyou, so that Zongzheng Wuyou would never forget her, but in fact he was even more afraid that he would sink into tenderness for her In, you cannot dial by yourself. He always treats her deliberately and keeps a distance on purpose, but those superficial things are always no match for the contradictions and struggles hidden in his heart.
He likes her indifferent intelligence; appreciates her cunning and resourcefulness; feels sorry for her stubbornness; he is shocked by how she sees her own destiny so clearly early on, and seeks a corner of peace in the well-known conspiracy! Who can be like her, in the middle of the game, but can turn herself into a spectator from the outside, watching her own fate, sadness and joy, so calm and calm,
If she pretended not to be someone else in her heart, if her emotions were tied to him, then could he justifiably compete with fate? At least, there is a reason, for love!
During this period of time, his mind has settled down, he has thought a lot, but he still can't come up with a result.
Fu Tiao couldn't help but raised his hand to gently caress her face, it was slightly cold, he suddenly felt something strange, his heart was shocked, he stretched out his hand to test her breath, his body trembled.
She is not breathing!
He immediately felt for her pulse, listened to her heartbeat, his complexion suddenly changed, and he called out loudly: "Come on, come on!"
Red face, white hair, pain
