Spring Banquet - Chapter 56
There is a teahouse in Kyoto called Mountain Stone Bamboo Forest. It is opened among a pile of natural rocks in the south of the city. The tea tables are scattered and separated by tall stone screens. The bamboo is verdant green and small clumps grow on the stone screens. In the meantime, from a distance, it looked like an array of masters.
Huaiyu sat here with Qingsi, listening to the surrounding movement all the time.
She didn’t use it today, so she asked Liu Yunlie to give the blue ribbon jade pendant. But Liu Yunlie told her to come and deliver it in person, just as Jiang Xuanjin went to confront Qi Han, Huaiyu thought about it, and came over as he wanted.
Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf.
After two sticks of incense, Liu Yunlie was late to arrive. Huaiyu straightened his back as soon as he saw him, and subconsciously glanced at the stone screen on his left hand with the corner of the light.
They are all behind there.
One advantage of this place is that the bamboo will always make a “rustle” noise, which can cover the breathing of the people next to it, and no matter how high martial arts are, people cannot detect the ambush.
Obviously Liu Yunlie didn’t notice it, and came in alone. When he saw her, he bowed with a smile, “I have seen her.”
Huaiyu asked blankly, “My lord, what does this mean?”
Call her highness in broad daylight?
Liu Yunlie smiled and said, “While you are carrying Qingsi, Weichen looks really familiar with it, and couldn’t hold back it for a while.”
Qingsi frowned and looked at him.
“It’s strange.” Liu Yunlie brushed his clothes and sat down opposite her, reaching out to pour tea for herself, “Don’t you think it is weird? Qingsi has always listened to the words of Princess Danyang, but now she has changed her mind. the host.”
Glancing at her, Huaiyu said, “Qingsi is the one he gave me.”
She didn’t take the initiative to ask, it was Jiang Xuanjin took the initiative to give it, how could he feel strange?
Liu Yunlie sighed: “His Royal Highness is really good, even Jun Ziyang can be played with by you and applauded.”
The man’s eyes were full of sarcasm, and his face was still smiling. Looking at it is really unpleasant, Huai Yu said coldly: “I don’t want your adults?”
“No hurry.” Liu Yunlie said, “Before I get something, I still have something to ask your Highness.”
“——How did you persuade Ziyang Jun to act on Li Xing?”
There was a coil of incense burning on the table, and the mellow aroma was blown by the wind, filling their cafe.
Huaiyu looked down at the fragrance, and took a sip of tea slowly: “My lord, is the trial here?”
“Xiaguan thought about it all night and didn’t understand it.” Liu Yunlie shook his head, “How can a woman control Ziyang Jun in this way?”
“I didn’t control him.” Huai Yu said, “Li Xun himself and protect Meng Hengyuan in the front. After being found out of corruption.”
“But in the eyes of the monarch before, Li Xingxing is a good official.” Liu Yunlie firmly said, “You must have done something before the monarch will change his opinion on him, and even play Yu the emperor and convict him.”
Holding the silk fan and fanning it gently, Huaiyu said, “You can forgive the sins committed by heaven, and you cannot live if you commit sins by yourself.”
Wei Wei was a little displeased, Liu Yunlie said: “Your Highness’s words are the same as if they were not said.”
“My lord is here to ask what these are for?” Huaiyu said, “I said, my purpose is to restore my innocence, and when Sima Xu’s case is over, I will never use Ziyang Jun to do anything.”
Liu Yunlie squinted his eyes: “Do you also admit that you are using Jun Ziyang?”
“What can’t you admit?” Huaiyu chuckled, “I approached him at first, and I thought about killing him.”
Liu Yunlie was stunned, as if she was taken aback by her arrogant thoughts, and then said with a complicated expression: “You really deserve to be Princess Danyang, Xuan Jin treats you so sincerely, do you have the heart?”
Raising an eyebrow, Huaiyu asked, “Are you qualified to say that to me? Haven’t you used him?”
“When did I use him?”
Doesn’t this admit it? Huai Yu sneered: “Sima Xu’s case. If you didn’t use his hand to convict the case, why did the crime fall on me? Master Liu, have you wanted to kill me for a long time? Qi Han attacked Sima Xu, and you used Whenever you get the chance, you can push the black pot on my head, and now Qi Han is caught by the king, you are safe, and the means are not weak.”
Liu Yunlie frowned and said, “I was also deceived by Qi Han in the case of Sima Xu. I didn’t expect that the person who killed him would sue you in turn.”
What about a liar? This is clearly a framing one by one, one by one, and one by one, all in the same way, so embarrassed to put her here and pretend to be innocent?
Li Huaiyu hates this kind of hypocrite, and he always talks secretly in front of discerning people, which is not at all refreshing.
“I asked about Miss Bai Si before, and heard about Lu Jingxing’s dowry.” Liu Yunlie said, “At the time, I didn’t understand what kindness the shopkeeper Lu gave. After I learned that Miss Bai Si was borrowing a corpse to restore his soul. , I am a little touched.”
This hypocritical expression made people want to vomit, and Huaiyu frowned, “You big man, can you not be so disgusting when you speak? Can’t you not let me and Lu Jingxing just say it right? Still moved, fake?”
“I’m really moved.” Liu Yunlie said, “He has been with His Royal Highness five years ago. He didn’t even ask for a position, but he still helped you do things. The literati in Kyoto said that you two have been privately appointed for life. But after you worked hard, you didn’t stay and fly with him, but married Jun Ziyang.”
“His Royal Highness, your heart is so cruel. In order to avenge you, you don’t hesitate to abandon your lover and marry the enemy who killed you.”
The incense on the table was almost burning, Huai Yu lightly breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer had the patience to accompany him to gossip, directly took out a brocade box and placed it in front of him: “What you want.”
Seeing it, Liu Yunlie wasn’t very excited. He just took it and opened it to take a look, tapping the box noodle lightly with his index finger and said, “How can I know if this thing is true or not?”
“There is a way.” Huaiyupi smiled and didn’t smile, “You can try it.”
“what?”
As soon as he loosened his fingers, the small teacup fell on the ground with a “slap”, Li Huaiyu’s Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Jiwu and the others who jumped out from the stone screen, and gently answered him:
“You know it once you die.”
Liu Yunlie was startled, and when he got up, he avoided the long knife that Jiwu had chopped down. With a sound, the stone bench he was sitting on was cut into a deep gap.
“Killing and killing?” He looked at the ten people who came out in front of him, and then laughed out in a daze, “The eldest princess, what a eldest princess, come back with a new look, these people are still by your side to help you. Only Ziyang Jun is a fool, only he does not know who you are!”
“Do you want to tell him?” Huaiyu said quietly while sitting still, “No chance.”
After making two moves, Liu Yunlie was surprised to find that his hands and feet seemed to be weak and limp.
“What did you do?”
Looking at the burnt incense ashes on the table, Huaiyu disgusted and said, “If it wasn’t for the soft smell of you, why do you think I would talk so much nonsense to you?”
There is still a soft smell? Before Liu Yunlie dodged, he smiled: “His Royal Highness’s appointment, as expected, you can’t go easily.”
“But it’s okay. I’m also here prepared.”
Seeing that Jiwu’s long knife was about to reach his throat, a large number of yamen suddenly rushed in from the cafe, and they surged aggressively to surround the whole place.
Just Wu and the others reacted extremely quickly, and they wanted to take Liu Yunlie’s head first regardless of their disregard.
Between the sparks and flints, a pebble flew up suddenly, knocking his blade sharply away.
Still ambush? Just Wu’s face sank, and he put the knife across his neck again with his backhand, and looked around guardingly.
Liu Yunlie smiled and said: “Just take it with your hands, I brought enough people to tie you all back to the yamen. This time I still won, Princess.”
Li Huaiyu was guarded by Qingsi and others. Seeing the ya chai around him, he seemed not in a hurry, got up and walked over to Liu Yunlie, took the dagger held by Qingxian next to him, and smiled at him by his side.
“you win?”
“You too underestimate my Danyang.”
When the words fell, the dagger came out and pierced it directly into his waist and abdomen. The sound of the flesh being cut was a bit permeating, but her eyes did not blink.
“Uh.” With a muffled snort, Liu Yunlie’s eyes widened. “You… Are you going to die with me?”
She dare to do so with so many yamen here? are you crazy?
“To die together?” Huaiyu giggled, “You really value yourself. You can kill me before and after you enter the secret room. It’s okay for you to die with a full stomach of secrets, and I have to live well.”
The pain in his waist and abdomen was so severe that Liu Yunlie did not dare to move, gritted his teeth and said, “You are so cruel!”
“The heart is not cruel, and the standing is unstable. If the hands are not hot, who is afraid?” Suffocating a few words, Huaiyu let go of the dagger. To the humanity behind, “Do it.”
Wu nodded and blew a whistle. As soon as the sharp and loud whistle fell, a large group of masked people rushed out from behind those yacha.
“Still moved?” Li Huaiyu stretched out his hand and patted Liu Yunlie on the shoulder, “This is all the help of the shopkeeper Lu.”
Liu Yunlie’s expression was ugly, he looked anxiously in the direction of the stone screen on the left, as if there was a rescuer on the other end.
Huaiyu squinted her eyes and waved her hand to let Qing Si look over, and Qing Si turned over the stone screen. He came back soon and shook his head.
No one else.
Yacha fell to the ground one by one, and Liu Yunlie’s face gradually paled. He seemed to be very unwilling. He opened his mouth to say something, and was so painful that he stopped talking.
“Let me ask you one last question.” Huaiyu looked at him with a grin, “Where did you put the document you held in the secret room?”
Panting hard, Liu Yunlie said: “I won’t hand it to you.”
“If you don’t give it, I can let someone find it. The secret room and your mansion can always be found.” Huaiyu shrugged indifferently, “It’s just that if you don’t cooperate, you may not be able to enter the soil after death.”
“You…” With his hands clinging to the place where the dagger was inserted, blood began to flow out, Liu Yunlie said angrily, “I will not let you go if I die!”
His face was twisted into a ball with anger and fear, and it really looked like a ghost.
However, Li Huaiyu was not afraid at all, looked at him calmly and said, “When I died, I thought so in my heart.”
It’s just that Jiang Xuanjin was pushed out as a knife by him, and her hatred was in the wrong place.
Yacha and the masked man were fighting, and the whole mountain carnation forest was in a **** storm.
Liu Yunlie slowly fell to the ground, Huaiyu squatted beside him, quietly waiting for him to breathe.
“Master.” Qing Si returned from the outside, frowning, “Go!”
There are reinforcements? Huaiyu frowned, got up with her skirt, and hurriedly took Jiwu and others to evacuate.
“Are it all clean?” she asked as she walked.
Wu replied: “It’s clean, and there are some people who haven’t gone in to see us outside, let them go.”
“Yeah.” Crossing the stone screen and heading west, Huaiyu said, “Wait for the news of Liu Yunlie’s death. If there is no news within two days, go to Tingwei’s Mansion to have a look.”
“Yes.”
There was a carriage parked outside the west gate of the mountain carnation forest. Huaiyu glanced at it, lifted the driving curtain and sat on it.
Lu Jingxing shook his fan and looked at the blood stains on her body, and said twice: “You have been obedient for so long, I almost forgot how ruthless you were before.”
Raised a **** hand to him in a frightening manner, Huaiyu said: “Princess Danyang kills like a numb, are you afraid?”
“I’m afraid of death.” Closed the fan and put it aside, Lu Jingxing took out the handkerchief, grabbed her hand and wiped her a little bit, and said softly, “Liu Yunlie is dead, and Qi Han will also be accused. The revenge is finally taken.”
What had been pressing in her heart loosened, Huaiyu grinned and said, “Yes, it’s reported.”
“What do you plan to do after that?” Lu Jingxing looked up at her, “Do you want to… continue to stay in Jiang Mansion?”
“I’m from Jiangfu in name, so naturally I want to stay there.” Li Huaiyu gesticulated, “I’ve figured out what I will do afterwards. Lanqing is suitable to be the prime minister. Let’s help him. By assisting Huailin, you will be able to do your business with peace of mind, and when you have enough money, you will consider life-long events.”
“I can talk to those official ladies now, and they will no longer be afraid because I am Danyang. So if I meet a good girl, I can help you be a matchmaker.”
“There are also Wubaiai them. If you want to be an official, let them enter the court and let them go if you want to walk the rivers and lakes. After so many years, everyone should live the life they want.”
The more I talked, the more excited Huaiyu’s eyes lit up, and he danced and said: “In two years, maybe I will be able to have a baby. Then everyone will come together to drink a full moon wine and talk about what I have done in the past two years. What, then not drunk or return!”
Imagining the scene she was talking about, Lu Jingxing hooked up the corner of his mouth, and then shook his head: “Everything else is fine, you don’t need to worry about my lifelong affairs.”
“Why?” Huaiyu frowned, “You don’t trust my eyes?”
“No.” Lu Jingxing said, “There are so many grasses in the world, I don’t want to hang on a tree.”
Huaiyu was taken aback, looking at him with a complicated expression: “You are indeed more romantic than the second son of Jiang.”
Somehow Jiang Shen still married a wife and a concubine. Does this man want to sit alone with the beauty of the world?
Lu Jingxing half-closed her Phoenix eyes, curled her lips in silence for a while, and then asked her, “Are you determined to spend the rest of your life with Jiang Xuanjin?”
This sounded a little numb. Huaiyu scratched her sideburns and said shyly: “It’s not bad to think about it, he treats me very well.”
“Am I treating you well?” he asked.
Huaiyu was stunned, blinked at him, suddenly burst into a rough sentence, and then said incredibly, “Don’t you really have any thoughts about me?”
“What?” Lu Jingxing squinted at her. “Look down on yourself?”
“That’s not the case.” Huaiyu shook his head, “I am such a unique and beautiful girl, it is normal for you to have ideas!”
Unable to hold back one, Lu Jingxing still rolled his eyes: “Bring your face when you talk, don’t ignore it.”
Li Huaiyu: “…”
Unfolding the fan and shook it again, Lu Jingxing lowered his eyes and said, “It’s a brother for a day, and a brother for the rest of your life. You and I have worshipped the second master of Guan, just don’t break contact with me in the future. ”
“How is that possible?” Huaiyu smiled, “You are my mother’s family.”
Once I miss it, I miss it all my life. Lu Jingxing pursed his lips and shook his fan, thinking, if he had known his heart earlier, would he have missed her?
The answer is not necessarily. The person in front of him seems to have never thought of him. Once some words are said, they may not even have to do it.
That’s it.
When the carriage arrived near Jiang’s Mansion, Huaiyu took Qingsi and got out of the car ahead of time. After saying goodbye to Lu Jingxing, she took off her **** robe and let Qingsi hold her, and returned to Moju from the side door.
Mo Juli was quiet, and the slave told that the king had gone to the palace and had not returned.
Qi Han is a prime minister after all. It is not easy to suppress him with the old case, I am afraid it will take some effort. Huaiyu didn’t care. She felt very sleepy, and no matter it was dark, she would sleep for a while.
This time I finally had no nightmares. Her dreams were peaceful, with the shadow of the tree at the door of Feiyun Palace, the tender laughter, and a person in the distance, with a green amber robe, gentle Waiting for her to approach.
Even when he fell asleep, the corners of his mouth couldn’t stop grinning to the sides.
It was night when I woke up, and after looking around the room, Huaiyu asked Qingsi: “Your Majesty hasn’t come back yet?”
Qingsi whispered: “The news that Yufeng just came back said that the Lord will stay in the palace for a few days and discuss the old case with your majesty.”
“Ah…” He flattened his mouth in disappointment, Huaiyu said, “I am left here by myself.”
Qingsi thought for a while and said, “The second youngest wife sent someone to ask you, do you want to see her now?”
That girl from the Xu family? Huaiyu got a little spirit: “Okay. Please come over.”
Before, she heard people say that Xu Chuniang and Jiang Shen were awkward. She only heard about it and didn’t know what was going on. She was bored anyway, so I might as well talk to her.
Qingsi left.
Xu Chuyong came quickly, still holding the quilt and pillow.
Huaiyu looked at it and was stunned: “Second sister-in-law, I don’t lack these here, what are you sending here for?”
“Not for you.” Xu Chuyong whispered, “I want to come to sleep in the guesthouse.”
“Huh?” Huaiyu was surprised. “Wang Shuyuan is good, why do you want to come to sleep?”
Xu Chuyong bit his lip, but did not answer, his eyes were a little red.
So Huaiyu understood: “Second brother bullied you again?”
“It’s not about bullying.” Xu Chuyong said, “I am the one who violated myself, no wonder people.”
Hearing her tone, Huaiyu felt a little pain inexplicably, so she took her to the guest building, asked Qingsi to help her change the quilt pillow on the bed, and then asked: “What’s the matter?”
Xu Chunang looked down. Holding her hand in silence for a while, he said, “Last time he embroidered the veil I gave him for three months to the concubine. I felt wronged before returning to my family. The old man asked him to take me back. Bento I was threatening him through the old lady, and I was very cold towards me.”
“Even more today, I made ginseng soup to talk softly with him. He took care of making friends with his concubine, and let me stand there without looking at it. At the end, he said that he would follow the instructions of the old lady. At night Have **** with me, so I have a son sooner.”
Tears fell on the back of his hand with a “patter”, and Xu Chuyong choked: “Who is rare to give birth to a son?”
She just likes him.
Huaiyu sighed: “Second Brother Wei is too much.”
“I asked for it myself.” After wiping away tears, Xu Chuniang said, “If I didn’t like him that much, I wouldn’t be so uncomfortable.”
In the relationship, the one who is more enamored loses, and if enthusiasm is too deep and indifferent, you are destined to violate yourself.
Huaiyu didn’t know how to comfort people, so she could only stare at her stupidly. Fortunately, Xu Chuniang didn’t come to seek comfort. He just asked someone to talk to him, and he felt at ease.
“On the days I went back to my family, my father often asked about you.” Taking a deep breath, Xu Chuyong turned around, “He said you are kind to our family, let me help you more.”
In fact, she found it a little strange. After all, the person who rescued her father was Jun Ziyang, but he didn’t mention Jun at all, and only told her to take care of Jiang Bai.
Huaiyu smiled: “Master Xu is interested.”
Yun Lanqing knew her identity. It means that Han Xiao and Xu Xian both knew about it, and it didn’t matter. Once Liu Yunlie died, the matter was resolved, and even if they knew, they would not be involved in her again.
Xu Chuyong looked tired, Huaiyu didn’t bother much, so she went back to the main building after setting up.
For five consecutive days, Jiang Xuanjin did not return to the house.
Huaiyu was a little puzzled, lying on the bed and asking Qingsi: “How can such a case with conclusive evidence take so long?”
Qingsi said: “There is no news in the palace.”
Feeling a little uneasy, Huaiyu stood up and asked, “Are you sure Liu Yunlie is dead?”
Qingsi nodded: “Just Wu sent the corpse out of Kyoto, and the news was also covered up very well. No one knows what happened in the carnation forest that day.”
Everything seems to be going well, but why does she always feel flustered?
“Find a way to let people go to the palace to inquire.” She said.
The sky was gloomy and the dark clouds were drooping, as if it was about to rain again.
Qingsi went out, and Huaiyu sat at the table looking at the food in front of her, feeling that she had no appetite at all.
“Miss.” Lingxiu lowered her head and stood beside her, and asked hesitantly, “Would you like to find a doctor girl to see you? Your face is a little bad.”
He smashed his slightly bitter mouth, and Huaiyu nodded: “Let’s find it.”
There was no doctor woman in Mo Curie, and the doctor woman found from Jiang Mansion looked familiar.
“Slavery Qi Jin, I have seen my wife.” The doctor woman put down the medicine box and saluted.
Staring at her for a while, Huaiyu suddenly said, “I have seen you.”
Qi Jin smiled: “Madam has a good memory.”
When she was still Miss Bai Si, Jun Shang asked her to come and see her for a medical condition. At that time, who would have thought that this rather miserable girl would become the envied Mrs. Jun later?
Reaching out to catch her pulse, Qi Jin took a serious diagnosis for a while, frowning and asked her: “Madame’s monthly letter of this month has been here?”
