Si Que let Fang Qingyi run away in a fuss, and was not in a hurry. Killing people is not fun at all, the process of cat and mouse is fun.
He turned around and saw You Yuji appearing at the door, his eyes, which were gloomy but with a smile of indulgence, slightly narrowed.
You Yuji was also surprised to meet the owner of the Poison House again. She took a step back and turned her head to look at Fang Qingyi's back as she ran away in a panic. Fang Qingyi ran through the corridor in one breath and tripped when she went out. Seeing her almost fall, You Yuji's heart tightened for the sake of the child in her belly.
After watching Fang Qingyi run out of Wan'an Temple and disappear from sight, You Yuji turned around and just then, the owner of the Poison Tower walked out of the room and passed by her.
You Yuji subconsciously took another half step back.
Both ends of the corridor led to the veranda outside the temple. You Yuji watched the owner of the Poison Tower leave to the other side. She stood in the corridor, silently looking at the back of the owner of the Poison Tower. He was still wearing a black robe and a blood-red mask. You Yuji lowered her eyes and fell on his left hand - the owner of the Poison Tower always wore a black leather glove on his left hand.
"How could this person appear here..." Zhenxu muttered softly.
"Who is he?" You Jiamu asked curiously.
The pillow whispered, "A terrible person whose whole body is full of poison."
You Yuji retracted her gaze and said to You Jiamu, "Jiamu, you should go home first. My sister has something else to do."
"You won't go with me?" You Jiamu's smile immediately fell.
You Yuji bent down and patted his shoulder. You Jiamu was not willful and nodded and agreed.
You Yuji said goodbye to her brother at the gate of Wan'an Temple. She sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and watched her brother ride away on horseback, then told Zhuo Wen to drive the carriage.
You Jiamu was riding his horse home. Before he reached home, he saw You Heng in the crowd in the busy market two streets in front of his house.
"Brother Yuan Yi!"
You Jiamu has a loud voice, and many people come here because of his reputation.
You Heng also looked over.
There were too many people on the street ahead, so it was not convenient to ride a fast horse. You Jiamu jumped off the horse and ran towards You Heng like a whirlwind.
Although he was only eleven years old, he was bigger and stronger than his peers. He squeezed through the crowd like a calf and rushed in front of You Heng.
Then, You Heng picked up the calf by the collar of his clothes and placed it on his shoulder like a chick.
You Heng was nearly ten feet tall. When he stood there, others were barely up to his shoulders. No wonder You Jiamu spotted him from a distance.
You Jiamu quickly grabbed the neck of the host You Heng and said unwillingly: "Brother Yuan Yi, put me down, they are all watching..."
You Heng was so tall, and he was sitting on You Heng's shoulders, so he could see all the smiling faces of the people looking at him.
"Oh, you are so embarrassed now." You Heng laughed, but instead of putting the man down, he patted his butt.
"Cousin, let's put him down. He looks so unnatural." Jiao Yushu said with a smile.
You Jiamu then saw Jiao Yushu and exclaimed, "My cousin has come to Chenjing too!"
Jiao Yushu shook his head and sighed, pretending to be disappointed: "We are all brothers, but you can only see your cousin and not me."
You Jiamu grinned: "If my cousin stood on the bench, I would be able to see it too!"
Jiao Yushu pretended to hit him, so he quickly hugged You Heng's neck and begged for help: "Brother Yuan Yi, save me!"
You Heng laughed loudly, his laughter was like thunder, attracting the attention of passers-by.
He put You Jiamu down and said, "The journey was smooth and we arrived in Beijing two days ahead of schedule. Let's go, Yushu and I are going to your house."
He habitually patted You Jiamu's head, with considerable force but with a hint of doting. Although he was of the same generation as You Jiamu, he married earlier, and his daughter was one year older than You Jiamu.
Leaving the bustling market, they walked into the street where You's residence was located. There were obviously few pedestrians on the street. You Heng put his hand on You Jiamu's shoulder and asked, "Are those letters you wrote true?"
"I swear to the Holy Fire Goddess that every word I say is true!"
"But the letters you wrote to me are completely different from what your sister sent back home." You Heng's face darkened and his smile had long since disappeared.
"My elder sister always reports good news but not bad news. She doesn't like to give in, nor does she like to ask for help..." You Jiamu lowered his head, "Anyway, Brother Yuan Yi is here now. If you ask around on the street, you will know who is lying between me and my elder sister..."
You Jiamu thought to himself, Sister, please don’t blame me for exposing you…
You Heng kept a gloomy face and said nothing. Instead, Jiao Yushu beside him sighed softly, looked at You Jiamu and said, "Your sister is a strong-willed person."
As they were about to reach the gate of You Mansion, You Jiamu kicked a small stone at his feet and muttered, "Now that my father is gone, they bully me. Humph, it's all my fault for being born a few years later. If I was born a few years earlier, I would be the older brother and my sister would be the younger sister. I would definitely go to their house and beat them up. Alas, the damn prince just bullies my sister because she has no brother to rule over her."
You Jiamu deliberately emphasized the three words "dear brother" and secretly glanced at You Heng's expression out of the corner of his eye.
You Heng's stern face suddenly broke into a smile. When the servant of the You family heard the sound and opened the gate, You Heng raised his foot and kicked You Jiamu on the buttocks, kicking him into the house, and said with a smile: "You are tired from the journey, go and pour tea for you two!"
You Jiamu ran inside while rubbing his butt, smiling and saying okay.
You Heng followed him in. The gentle smile on Jiao Yushu's face faded a little, and he sighed helplessly.
You Yuzhi asked about all the details when Zhuo Wu sent people away, and finally went to the courtyard she asked Zhuo Wu to prepare.
"Madam, everything has been arranged." Zhuo Wu reported.
You Yuji nodded and walked into the courtyard in front of her. She walked slowly through the corridor of the courtyard, taking a slow step and carefully looking at the courtyard.
"Everything was prepared according to Madam's wishes." Zhuo Wu followed and reported, "The large area in the back is all our You family's farm. The market in front is a bit far, so there are not many people on weekdays, which is quiet enough for Madam's request. Oh, there is also the plum forest in the backyard that Madam wanted. However, although those plum trees are growing lushly, they are not well taken care of on weekdays, so we need to find a master to prune them again..."
You Yuji looked at the old crabapple tree in the courtyard. At this time of year, everything was withered and yellow. She couldn't help but think of the scene when Ah Que played the zither here in midsummer when the grass and trees were lush and green.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of You Yuji's lips.
"Replace the stone table and stone bench under the tree into a piano stand," she ordered.
"Yes." Zhuo Wu responded.
You Yuji walked into the room and looked at the furniture inside. She didn't have time to choose it herself, and she might have to replace it in the future. Fortunately, they were all brand new furniture bought by Zhuo Wu, so they were fine for the time being.
After she left the Jinnan Palace, she could go back to the You family first. It would be inconvenient and unsafe to take him directly to the You family. She would settle him here when the time came.
She would have to stay in Chenjing for another one or two years before she could bring her family back to her hometown.
Will he like it here
You Yuji slowly curved her eyes, and the corners of her eyes slightly raised to reveal a gentle smile.
Zhuo Wu once again sighed in his heart that his wife was truly a beauty, and it was a pity that Prince An was such a blind bastard.
You Yuji looked over and told Zhuo Wu to buy some things before leaving. After leaving the courtyard, You Yuji couldn't help but look back here.
I haven't even moved in yet, but I'm already feeling a bit reluctant to leave.
She didn't know how long Si Que could live, she just wanted to protect him and pamper him with all her strength. She also didn't know...when she took her family away from Chenjing, would he be able to follow her back to her hometown in good health.
You Yuji sighed softly, turned around and got on the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, she quickly calmed herself down and told herself not to think about things that far ahead. Now that she had arranged everything, she could tell Si Que tonight that she was going to take him away.
When he finds out, he must be happy, right
You Yuji couldn't help but think of the smiling eyes he looked at her with when he found out.
The carriage suddenly stopped, interrupting You Yuji's thoughts. She frowned subconsciously, but she soon heard the hustle and bustle outside the carriage, knowing that it was in the downtown area, and she felt relieved.
"My master invites Madam to discuss matters at Baizhen Tower."
This voice sounds familiar.
Madam Jing pushed open the door, and You Yuji looked out and saw the man standing in front of the carriage, who was the one who pretended to be a bandit that day.
Madam Jing said with a stern face, "He is here with ill intentions. Madam, let's ignore him! This is a busy city, if we ignore him, he can't do anything to us."
It was precisely because this was a busy city that he sent his men to stop her car, to show that he had no ill intentions? You Yuji was silent for a while and ordered him to get out of the car.
Some things should be made clear.
Baizhenlou was not far from the road, and You Yuji was led to the private room on the second floor. The door opened, You Yuji walked into the room, and indeed saw Chen Qi.
"Sit down." Chen Qi raised his hand.
You Yuzhi sat down opposite him.
Chen Qi dismissed his men and asked gently, "Can I have a few words with Madam alone?"
You Yuji then asked everyone he brought with him to go outside.
There were only two of them in the private room.
Chen Qi held a small wine cup between his fingers and pondered for a long time before saying, "I have no ill intentions, nor am I a villain who takes advantage of others' misfortunes."
You Yuji lowered her eyelids slightly, she considered her words and did not speak for a while.
Chen Qi put down the wine cup that he had been turning for a long time, as if he had made up his mind. He looked deeply at You Yuji who was sitting opposite him and said, "The thing I, Chen Qi, regret most in my life is that I didn't stand up and express the joy that I had buried in my heart for more than two years on the day of the marriage."
More than two years? You Yuji frowned slightly.
A carefully collected whip was placed on the table by Chen Qi.
You Yuji turned her head and looked at the horse whip that she had lost long ago. Her frown slowly relaxed and she had a vague impression of Chen Qi.
"Let's go..." Chen Qi closed his eyes, with a hint of pleading in his low voice.
You Yuji's gaze gradually moved up from the whip to Chen Qi.
"Watching you suffer, watching those people mock you, watching how my fourth brother behaved..." Chen Qi frowned and took a deep breath, "I can still maintain my sanity now. But I'm afraid that the accumulated pain and regret will eventually make me unable to control myself and want to snatch you away."
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at You Yuji with his slightly red eyes.
He was a coward. He had prepared so much for her for so long, but he didn't even dare to tell her in person. He resorted to a bad trick and asked his personal guards to pretend to be bandits and "rob" her. If she hadn't been unwilling that day, he wouldn't have said these words to her in person today.
Chen Qi's sudden affection caught You Yuji off guard. She had a vague idea of some things, but she obviously didn't know that the love that Chen Qi restrained was so heavy.
It was too heavy for her to bear.
He must have made a lot of preparations to help her escape from Chen Jing and go to Su Kingdom, right
Just like, in order to successfully send Si Que away, she was worried day and night and couldn't sleep or eat.
You Yuji's heart suddenly softened.
Chen Qi looked at her with an overly solemn and affectionate look, and You Yuji subconsciously looked away. But she quickly turned her gaze back and met his gaze openly.
She said: "Thank you for your love, Prince Qi, and I am grateful for everything you have planned for me."
Chen Qi's eyes dimmed instantly. Is she still unwilling
"To the people of Chen, I am a surrendered person from the grassland. But my You family is also a family of black clothes in our homeland. We You family members have been learning calligraphy since childhood, and we have learned character and bearing." You Yuji said seriously, "We You family members have never known what escape is. If I leave the Jinnan Palace, I must do it openly and aboveboard."
The author has something to say: I finally wrote about You Heng. This is the first time I write about a strong man over two meters tall, slurp slurp!
(The length of the chi in different dynasties in ancient times was different, so it is hard to say which dynasty this article borrowed from. Anyway, it is nearly ten chi, so let's understand it as 2.1 meters!)
Has the comment section been stale recently? This morning I saw a long comment praising me, but I didn’t finish reading it and it disappeared when I refreshed the page qaq
