Chapter 60

Author: Bailu Chengshuang|Release time: 06-12 17:42|Word count: 6011 Yao Guifei lives in the West Palace. Although it has been renovated, Huayue is still very familiar with this boundary. Kneeling in the side hall, holding the skirt, out of the corner of the eye glanced at the gauze curtain that was falling in front of him.

"Pray for your concubine."

There was only one servant standing in the huge side hall. Just looking at it, you knew that it was not a good battle. The surrounding silence was suffocating. .

It's okay not to look at it, but her face sank when she saw it.

Mon Province.

This person was a traitor who voted for Zhou Heshuo, and he voted earlier than Shen Zhiluo, but everyone in the Wei Palace knew that he was a lackey.

If he could stand here, Yao Guifei would not be behind the curtain.

"It's really you." Zhou Heshuo lifted his finger and lifted the gauze curtain, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly, "Shibie should be treated with admiration for three days, a girl in the room turned around and became the mistress of the general's mansion."

Taking a deep breath, Hua Yue closed her eyes.

She was unlucky, so many people were caught by him today, and what was even more unfortunate was that the person standing next to her was Meng Sheng, who recognized her.

Hua Yue guessed why she was called back, but she didn't panic. As soon as her body softened, she bowed to Zhou and Shuo again: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhou Heshuo looked at her with deep eyes: "Thank you for what?"

"If it wasn't for His Highness returning the mandarin duck pendant to the slave, the slave would not be able to fly to the branches of the General's Mansion." Hua Yue said softly, "I had never had the opportunity to salute to the Highness before, but now I have to be summoned by His Highness, and the slave should kowtow. Thanks Ron."

After all, he kowtowed three times in a proper manner.

Originally, he was still thinking about this person being caught by him, but when she suddenly knocked him like this, Zhou Heshuo's expression softened a little, but he was puzzled: "A mandarin duck pendant can make you the wife of the general's mansion. position?"

Cowardly biting her lip, Hua Yue whispered: "This matter is a long story, the baby was given back by His Royal Highness, and the servant took it to the son, who knows that the son suddenly laughed and said a few 'OK' ' word, and said that I will live up to the trust of His Highness in this life. The servant was taken aback, but he didn't tell the son that he had seen His Highness. it is good."

Eyes flickering slightly, Zhou Heshuo came out and sat down in the outer hall, spread out his clothes, and listened to her carefully.

The maid in the hall was still the same as before, her voice was soft and thin, and her expression was frightened. She glanced at Meng Xing next to her several times, and her throat moved slightly: "The slave servant also came to see this lord, and only then did she know that she would like to thank His Highness."

"Oh?" Zhou Heshuo was curious, "Have you seen this lord?"

"It's natural, just the day before you passed on the slave servant's question, this lord went to the Qifeng Tower to drink and chat with the son-in-law. At that time, the slave and servant was guarding outside, and I heard this lord tell our son to be careful. It was said that someone was framed and framed, and he was going to trouble the son. The slave did not understand what this meant at the time, but the son probably understood, so later, the slave sent the mandarin duck back, and the son said that it was His Highness's trust and he wanted to be loyal."

As she recalled, she said with a sincere and sincere expression: "After the fight, the young master even took the slave and maid on his head. In order not to be engaged with the Han family, he accepted the slave."

Zhou Heshuo looked at her silently, his eyes sharp like knives.

Hua Yue lowered her head, but her posture was very relaxed, without the slightest guilty conscience after lying, even if he saw through her, he could not see the slightest flaw.

Meng Sheng stood beside him, sweating profusely.

He never thought that this little master was still alive, and he never thought that he would give him such a big gift as soon as they met. He went to see Li Jingyun that day, and wanted to get some benefits by giving him some ventilation. Li Jingyun was also generous and gave him three hundred taels of silver directly at the Qifeng Tower.

As a slave, can't you just point to this little oil and water, but how did she know it? He even told the prince now that His Royal Highness is suspicious. Knowing that he has private contacts with foreign ministers, is there still a way for him to survive in this palace?

Meng Xing's eyes rolled straight, and he knelt down as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes: "Your Highness, this old slave has been wronged, you know, this old slave has always been by your side, where else can you go?"

Zhou Heshuo didn't say a word, his whole body was gloomy and oppressive.

Hua Yue looked left and right with an innocent look on her face, and when she faced Meng Province, she saw him glancing at him threateningly.

Or how about Huluo and Pingyang being bullied by dogs, these minions now love to threaten and intimidate her, and they even treat her like the half-year-old child in the West Palace.

Withdrawing her gaze, Hua Yue smiled slightly: "The servant didn't look carefully, anyway, it's an adult in this shape. That's what I said, the servant has never seen the world, and can't make up words, so I won't Liar, please also ask Your Highness to learn from it."

After not seeing him for a few years, this little master's attitude has changed, and he is no longer arrogant, but his ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense is good. She hasn't seen the world yet, so who has seen the world?

Meng Xing felt a toothache, and bowed his old arms and waist straight to the ground: "His Royal Highness Mingjian, it's really not an old slave."

With a light "um" sound, Zhou Heshuo tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair one after another.

According to the meaning of this maid, Li Jingyun had lost the mandarin duck pendant and knew that someone had thrown the pendant into the East Palace. When he was uneasy, when he saw the maid took the jade pendant back, he immediately understood that the master of the East Palace was magnanimous, even if he had doubts in his hand. He was also willing to believe him, so he later rejected the marriage offered by the eldest princess and followed him firmly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heshuo felt at ease. He thought that letting Li Jingyun know that he tortured the people around him would lead to quarrels.

The hall became quiet again. Zhou Heshuo looked at the little girl in front of him and suddenly asked, "Meng Xing, she said she has seen you, so have you seen her?"

Hua Yue raised her eyes and looked at the person beside her.

Su Miao went to her cousin without a moment's delay. Li Jingyun was inspecting the forbidden army in the front palace. Hearing her tell the story, she strode out as soon as she looked tense, taking off her clothes as she walked.

Today, he was wearing a red-edged silver armor, lined with black green robes, and stepped on a pair of silver-gray official boots. He looked very imposing, but he threw this imposing manner into her arms within two steps. , Su Miao picked it up for a long time.

"Cousin, what are you doing?" Su Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked around with a guilty conscience, "Is this okay for people to bump into?"

She glanced at her, and Li Jingyun said, "Do you think I can enter the harem immediately wearing this outfit?"

"It's impossible to get in, but you can't take it all off." Before she could finish her words, the dark blue robe draped over her head.

"You put it away, don't let anyone find out." He ordered this sentence, and walked forward as if flying in that white tunic.

Su Miao wanted to say that he was so immature that he couldn't lose his head when someone bumped into him? But as far as she could see, there was a door halfway along the palace road in front, and her cousin entered the door when he passed by, and before he came out, he changed into the official uniform of a servant.

"..." Can it still be like this?

If the little sister-in-law is embarrassed by the people in Yao Guifei's palace, and the cousin wears this outfit to save her, it will be a crime of trespassing in the harem. Su Miao was in a hurry, seeing a palace servant coming from a distance, she quickly gathered the pile of clothes in her arms into a pile, tucked it under her skirt, and stuffed it into a plump belly.

"Excuse me." She stopped the palace servant and said, clutching her stomach, "Where is the imperial hospital?"

After a while, she got her wish to see Wen Guzhi.

"In the palace of Concubine Yao?" Wen Guzhi thought about it, and comforted her, "Don't worry, the third master is measured, and this visit may not be to save people."

The little sister-in-law is still in the palace, and the cousin is not there to save people, so why go? Su Miao was full of doubts.

Wen Guzhi is the person around Li Jingyun who knows the most. After a little thought, he can also guess what the third master is in a hurry.

Meng Xing, a man who rose to prominence by betraying the original owner, was greedy for money and good fortune. He was the one who identified Feng Zixu many years ago and painted him a wanted portrait. In order to know the prince's movements, the third master has always raised him with money, but this time, if he threatens the life of the little sister-in-law, the third master may not be able to keep him.

"It looks familiar, but I can't remember it for a while."

Meng Xing knelt in front of Zhou Heshuo, stared at Hua Yue and said, "Where should I have seen it? The old servant is getting old. Please ask His Highness to give him a grace period of two days. Let the old servant go back and look through the roster and think about it carefully."

What he said was similar to what Huayue had previously pointed out to him, leaving room for a bargaining chip.

Originally, Meng Sheng recognized her because she wanted to say it directly. Outsiders didn't know that Da Wei had a little master. Even people in the palace said that she might not be of royal blood, but Haolai was also a master and was nourished by brocade clothes and jade. Yes, if it is said that the prince is happy, he can also reward him with something.

But in the current situation, if he said, this little master will burn all his jade and stone with him, and shake his affairs in front of the prince, and he will not have a good life.

Meng Xing has always been the most aware of current affairs, so he kowtowed to Zhou Heshuo after speaking.

Huayue breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Heshuo was quite annoyed by Meng Xing's actions, but it wasn't that he couldn't see that this old man was quite selfish, and he often played tricks in front of his master.

Since he said he couldn't remember it, he wouldn't leave the young lady of the General's Mansion here in vain to offend people. Even if he asked Hua Yue to stand up, he praised Li Jingyun for being a good person, and even rewarded her with two jade wares to bring back to the mansion.

After stepping out of the threshold and being blown by the wind outside, Huayue realized that she was sweating all over. Her identity is not suitable for showing up everywhere. Today, she is reckless. If she really loses her life, there is nothing to say.

I don't know how much Zhou He Shuo believed in those words just now, but one thing is, as long as Meng Sheng is still there, she may bring disaster to the general's house at any time.

With cold hands and feet, Hua Yue hurriedly followed the palace servants out, wanting to go out to find someone quickly.

Just after walking to Jing'anmen, the palace servants around him suddenly became restless.

"What?" She tilted her head.

The palace servant and the guard who led the way whispered a few words, and then came back and said to her, "There is water in the palace, don't worry ma'am, you can go out further, and no matter how noisy you are, you will not be affected."

Can you walk in water inside the forbidden palace? Hua Yue was very surprised, in their great Wei, if such a big mess could happen in the palace, the Royal Forest Army would definitely not be able to eat and walk away.

Daliang's Forbidden Palace was really unreliable, she shook her head.

After waiting outside the palace for a while, Su Miao finally came out, but she looked a little weird. As soon as she came over, she took Hua Yue's hand and got into the car with her.

When the wheels of the wheel were far away, Hua Yue asked her, "What happened?"

Panting from her heart, Su Miao whispered, "The palace has run out of water."

"I heard about this." Hua Yue nodded, "So what?"

Looking at her fixedly, Su Miao said, "As soon as my cousin stepped in, the back of Xigong caught fire, burning a room with a person."

With a thud in her heart, Huayue lowered her eyes.

Su Miao didn't understand why, her face was pale and she said: "I just want him to save you, who would have known that he could stab such a big basket, fortunately no one found out, if we are caught, we will all Got to Huangquan."

Hua Yue was a little distracted, and when she was dragged, she said with a guilty conscience: "It's good that no one finds out."

"Little sister-in-law, why are you not afraid? That's the forbidden palace." Su Miaozhi shook her head, "I don't know who burned to death, but this is a big matter. Today, I have a lot of criticisms against the Yulin Army. I'm afraid Longyan will be furious about this matter."

Responding absentmindedly, Hua Yue took her back to the Shen residence, and then took the car back to the general's residence, swaying along the way, I don't know how long it took. When she returned to Xixiaomen, her head was dizzy.

Someone went out to pick her up, carried her back to the East Courtyard, removed her heavy outfit, and put a cup of hot tea in her hand.

"Look at how promising you are." Li Jingyun hummed, "The tiger walked through its mouth and didn't bite off half of the meat, why is it cold all over?"

She looked up at him, frowning: "Who did you kill?"

Li Jingyun lowered his eyelids and smiled, but did not answer.

She got angry, pressed him on the soft couch, and said angrily: "I stabbed the basket, you cleaned it up, why didn't you ask for credit?"

Mo Tong stared at her, he thought it was funny: "If you don't take credit, shouldn't you be secretly having fun, why are you still angry?"

He knew that going to Meng Province, he knew everything, but he didn't explain it to her, wouldn't it make people angry. Hua Yue puffed out her cheeks, but she sighed and leaned on his chest and said, "I've caused you trouble."

Li Jingyun snorted, reached out and touched her head: "If you marry someone by yourself, trouble is trouble, and I didn't blame you."

She was so used to it that Hua Yue couldn't help laughing and crying: "I'm not afraid of being stabbed in the spine and scolded for being addicted to women's sex?"

"Female sex?" He pinched her chin in confusion and looked at her, suddenly, "It's two points."

Hua Yue bit him angrily.

Carrying her body with a light smile, Li Jingyun said, "Don't be annoyed, Grandpa has long been thinking about that person. Even if you don't go wrong today, Grandpa won't be able to keep him for long."

Lie, she saw that on the accounts of Qifenglou, several of them were for Meng Xing, and the two had a lot of exchanges, how could they be willing to break it easily.

It was also a coincidence that if he hadn't asked her to go to Qingqifenglou's account, she might have leaked the stuffing in front of Zhou Heshuo today. At that time, she wouldn't be able to calm down by breaking a slave.

For the rest of her life, Hua Yue leaned against him and let out a long breath.

In fact, killing people is the worst idea, and at this point, there is really no other choice. Once Meng Sheng died, would Yin Huayue be without suspicion? No, on the contrary, Zhou and Shuo would doubt her even more, but compared to being directly exposed by Meng Sheng, this was already a good result.

The West Palace was on fire, and some people lost their lives. Today, how could the sage be willing to forgive, dismissing dozens of officials of the Imperial Forest Army, integrating the Imperial Forest Army and the Imperial Army, and handing over the power directly to Li Jingyun.

This is a great favor. With real power in hand, no one dares to look down on these three young masters. Zhou Heshuo temporarily pressed Cha Yin Huayue's action, and even the eldest princess changed her previous hostility and sent it to the general's mansion. good stuff.

Huayue is very curious, why is the emperor as shrewd as this Liangliang so important to a young man? But she was also very happy. After this incident, Kang Zhenzhong came to the General's Mansion more often, and she began to plan how to repeat the words from his mouth, so as to unravel the knot in his wife's heart for many years.

However, Mrs Zhuang could not wait for her.

When the weather in Jinghua first started to turn cold, Zhuang Shi was already sick and withered. No matter how many doctors were changed or how many medicines were prescribed, she never got out of bed again. When Wen Guzhi came to see her, she didn't even have a pulse, she was silent for a moment, and then asked her, "What else do you wish for, Madam?"

Hua Yue's eyes were red.

How could Mrs. Zhuang have any wishes? In the past few days, she can only laugh. When she heard her coming, she laughed, and then took her hand and told her how gentle and good the first queen was.

"I was so old at that time, and I was locked in the woodshed, and my life was about to die. She pushed the door and came in, with a light all over her body, like a fairy going down to earth, and pulled me out of the rotten branches and leaves. ."

Her voice was very small, and Huayue had to stick to her mouth so that she could hear what she was saying.

"At that time, I thought that as long as I could survive, I would definitely repay the mother in the future."

"I saw you later. You are as good-looking as the empress, with similar outlines, but you are not happy, your mouth is flat, and you won't even smile."

Who can laugh when something like that happens? There were tears in Zhuang's eyes, and she rubbed her hand and said, "Don't be busy, I know you are busy recently, and you want to help me. I want that kid Jing Yun to forgive me."

As her throat tightened, Hua Yue grabbed her hand instead.

"What's the use." She whispered, "When is it all, you tell him to understand now, how will he live the rest of his life? It's better to leave it like this, and he won't feel uncomfortable."

"Madam." Hua Yue couldn't listen anymore, "This is what the son owes you."

Shaking his head lightly, Mrs Zhuang smiled: "He doesn't owe it, I haven't been with him since he was born, the eldest lady and the second young master in the house are all loved by You Shi's own mother, only him, the one who is beside him when he was young. Well, I'm the one who can't stand him."

She seems to have been paying people's debts all her life, paying back the generals, paying back the You's, paying back the empress, and in the end she never wanted to pay back the debt to Jing Yun. It's a pity that her body is weak, and I'm afraid it's too late to pay it back.

Zhuang Shi was also a little unwilling, the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged slightly, but in just a moment, he reluctantly wilted.

Huayue knelt in front of Li Jingyun when she returned, and asked him to accompany Zhuang for the last two days without asking for anything else.

Li Jingyun's face was gloomy, but he still agreed.

When Mrs. Zhuang closed her eyes, Li Jingyun was also by her side. There were only the two of them in the room. Mrs. Zhuang looked at him with a fixed gaze, and suddenly there was focus in her cloudy eyes. She saw her child wearing an official uniform. I also saw his eyes looking down.

"Don't stay any longer?" he asked.

It sounded like she was just going out. Zhuang Shi couldn't help laughing, and he coughed again and again: "You are so promising, I am very relieved for my mother."

Li Jingyun didn't start, and said coldly: "Yeah, you can rest assured of me since you were a child, and you won't worry about me either hot or cold."

"I'm sorry child." She touched his hand with trembling fingertips, "I'm sorry, mother."

The Adam's apple rolled, Li Jingyun stuck his neck, and his eyes turned red.

"It doesn't matter, I've grown up anyway, so I won't care about you anymore." He wiped his nose sullenly, "So if you stay for a while, I won't bother you."

"Really?" she asked happily.

Li Jingyun shook his head, grabbed her trembling hand rather roughly, and slowly clenched it tightly.

Zhuang Shi was delighted, and smiled like a child, his face glowing with light.

But it was only for a moment, and the light quickly went out, and even the whole person on the bed was exhausted.

The room was quiet, and there was only one breath left.

Li Jingyun sat with a stern face, his body was in the empty room, and a slanted shadow was drawn by the setting sun outside the window.

In the colder August, white flags were hung in the General's Mansion. Wen Guzhi stood in the General's Mansion and looked at the little sister-in-law whose eyes were as red as rabbits and the indifferent third master next to him, sighing endlessly.

"Why doesn't your third master cry?" He was accompanied by a little girl from the imperial pharmacy, and asked chatteringly, "Isn't the deceased the mistress of this general's residence? The son should cry more than the young lady. "

Wen Guzhi covered her mouth and gave her a silent gesture.

The third master has always refused to be soft to others. He probably has nowhere to act coquettish since he was a child. If you break his bones, his flesh is also hard, and he will never show any weakness in front of outsiders.

The few of them have always felt sorry for the third master, and they all wanted to share some of the burden for him, but until now, the third master is still covering them, helping them settle the difficult family problems, find official positions for them, and find a way out.

Fortunately, there are more people around him now.

"Hey, isn't that Miss Han?" The little girl opened his hand and pointed again, "Look, why is she here?"

Wen Guzhi looked over and saw that Han Shuang was wearing plain clothes and a white hairpin. When he entered the door, he kowtowed twice in the mourning hall.

"Brother Jing Yun." Getting up and walking to the side, Han Shuang nodded, "Mrs. Li Shao, condolences to the two of you."

Huayue also gave her a gift.

It's been a long time since Han Shuang's life seems to be not very comfortable. People look haggard, but her eyes have not changed. When she looks at Huayue, she still carries deep hostility.

"There is one thing I want to tell the young lady."

Li Jingyun's face was still kind to the guests, but the words he spit out were filled with ice slag: "Tell me too."

"Okay." Han Shuang actually responded and pointed to the secluded corner next to her.
