Chapter 25 Yichun Elegant Gathering Begins to Appear 2
Chu Shou frowned, confused by the inexplicable hostility behind everyone's encrypted words.
Song Yanqing raised his hand and brought a small plate of delicate peach blossom-shaped snacks on the table to Chu Shou's eyes. Chu Shou turned away angrily and ignored it.
Seeing that the food coaxing was useless, he gently put down the white porcelain plate, leaned sideways on the table, tilted his head and sighed, his hair hanging down on his neck and shoulders, his dark eyes looked at the angry man with his back turned, and he compromised.
: "His Majesty has long thought that he must at least regain the lost territory on the northern border. You must give him a reason to send troops."
After Chu Shou heard this, he was a little surprised. Since the birth of his ancestors, successive emperors and queen mothers have been in power. The chaos of the Three Kingdoms War has been settled, and the people's lives have just returned to the right track. Your Majesty actually wants to go to the northern border again...
Besides, the person who pushed the emperor to fall from the building was a woman. If the case was closed so hastily, wouldn’t it mean that the real culprit would go free?
She turned back, bit her lip secretly, and asked in confusion: "It wasn't him who pushed His Majesty down the building. You should know. It hasn't been stable for many years, but it's in a hurry to go to war again. You... I don't believe you don't understand this."
."
The current situation and the country's internal affairs have not yet been clearly resolved. Once a war breaks out, it will affect the whole country. When the time comes, internal and external troubles will be a disaster for the whole world. We cannot fight, and we cannot fight.
After hearing this, Song Yanqing raised his lips and smiled, then leaned a little closer. His eyes could not reveal his emotions, he could only look at the person in front of him steadily and said: "It's just mutual benefit. If I keep them safe, they can also give me something."
What I want, and as a minister, I naturally have to obey His Majesty."
Chu Shou's heart sank, and he said with cold eyes: "I thought you just touched the interests of some powerful people, but now it seems that the infamy from the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not in vain."
Song Yanqing turned around and stood up, with his hands behind his back facing Chu Shou, his right hand gently stroking the green leaves displayed on the side, as if suppressing something, and said in a deep voice: "Now? The Metropolitan Procuratorate has only been established for two or three years.
Everyone says that the Procuratorate is as good as the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment..."
He chuckled softly as he spoke, and continued: "You have also seen that the Ministry of Punishment sends a mere petty official to ask for someone, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has to obediently give it to him. What I want...isn't this the only thing I want?"
Chu Shou looked at his back and felt a little strange for the first time, but she knew him so well and his past that she felt unconfident even when she spoke: "As long as His Majesty follows his lead and is favored by His Majesty, then...
Is it okay to ignore the people of the world regardless of right or wrong?"
After Song Yan listened, he lowered his head and asked: "People from the world? Put it on me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The tone was helpless and lonely.
"Don't you know who destroyed my whole family? Hmm? Young Master of the Wu Clan?"
He said, turned around, his eyes were a little red, "You don't say anything and I don't say anything. Do you think this matter can go away?"
Chu Shou knew what he was referring to in her heart. She had known about this since he was entrusted to her Azu by the master of Mu Pavilion on the 48th floor. During the two or three years they lived together in Hanyuan, the two of them
They all had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it. She was escaping, escaping from some facts and some shameful things that had really happened.
Chu Shou's hands sank to his body, tightly grasping the hem of his skirt, avoiding Song Yanqing's unspeakable gaze, his lips trembled a little, and he asked vaguely: "So... it was you who arranged for Zhao Qinghuai, and it was not a lie.
Assassination?"
Song Yanqing didn't get a reply and continued:
"Someone came to my door for nothing, saying that while the Heavenly Official was still alive, my mortal body could not inherit the blessings of the Heavenly Realm, so I wanted to do it for Heaven to welcome the Heavenly Official and take the lives of my two brothers... It's ridiculous, the goddess of the witch clan, the noble concubine of Mingqi, compared to
Heaven's glory, she imprisoned my brother, cut out my heart and bones, and killed my parents in order to survive. My mother told me to hide well until she died. When we were on tenterhooks and frightened, who would take care of me?
Your Majesty, Ming Qi? I’m afraid your Majesty will only worry about the loss of his beauty and the loss of his life.”
"Heavenly Official? Haha? What a great Heavenly Official, but he wants the Heavenly Official's flesh and blood to help you Goddess live as a medicine introduction... To give him such a good name, Princess? Don't you really think it's ridiculous?"
Chu Shou pursed his lips and tapped his fingers on his palms. How could she not know what he said... Her mother died on the 18th. After she came to Kyoto, she often went to the palace, and she couldn't help but be intimate with the heavenly concubine in the harem.
She had seen with her own eyes that the imperial concubine was so sick that she could not get out of bed, she was haggard, and her essence and blood had been lost.
After leaving the palace that time, she dug out a box of ancestral records that her ancestor had packed for her to urge her to learn. She read them for three days and nights, and even the old general praised her for her hard work.
The book said: "All heavenly officials are handsome in appearance, like the Water Moon Guanyin, who is detached from the world. However, they are weak and have difficulty coagulating blood. Using the blood from the heart of the heavenly officials as a guide can prolong the life of the goddess..."
There is also a part in the book, which is the autobiography of the ancestor, which has been polished to the point of being unclear: "...However, those who have strange power and disturb the gods will decline, and a curse is specially created to protect future generations..."
Later, when she met Song Yanqing in Hanyuan, Azu said that this was the Heavenly Official mentioned in the book. She observed him for a long time while comparing it with the book. He was not angry and just stood there quietly, although there was some confusion.
Down and out, as fragile as the wind, but simple and really good-looking.
She collects herbs to make pills every day, and goes up the mountain to look for medicinal materials every day. The master has said that Radix Saccharis can be used as a medicine for blood coagulation, but it is difficult to find.
She was often worried that if he bumped into someone somewhere, or if those who wanted his life succeeded, she would be able to save him, but she could only watch him bleed to death, so she did it early.
The plan was to avoid risks first, then to mass-produce blood coagulation pills, and finally... she would definitely protect him, because she felt that this was the closest she got to God.
Out of inexplicable awe and the guilt that she, as the young master of the Wu Clan, was the instigator of the unjust things done by her little aunt, Chu Shou just allowed herself to be filled with thoughts of being particularly nice to him.
Following the wind, it circled back to the entire Hanyuan.
Her feelings for him were so complicated that even she couldn't explain them clearly. But every time she thought about it seriously, she understood her missing father a little more.
Who can not love Tianguan? Even that vicious ancestor couldn't do it.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Song Yanqing, and Chu Shou continued to listen to the fact that she had been avoiding for a long time:
"I didn't believe it at first, and then I lived in Youbei for a few years. I didn't expect that the curse of the goddess not being able to survive until eighteen was actually true. I didn't expect that my whole family was dead, but she was still alive... She killed my whole family, and I wanted to
Her life is not too much, right?"
Chu Shou didn't know what was wrong with his ears. He raised his eyes and looked at Song Yanqing's mouth opening and closing, and only two words came to his mind - "Is it okay?"
She stood up, still holding her robe tightly in her hand, and asked in disbelief: "You said that you were just living in Hanyuan with me?"
Song Yanqing's eyes turned red, but she teased him with a bright sneer, and asked seriously and unequivocally: "Otherwise? I went to Youbei to survive... It's not a companionship you can order on a whim.
Playing is not about escaping from the heat and enjoying life. Haven't you had enough of two years of hypocrisy?"
A burst of tinnitus, my ears are really broken...
Chu Shou felt a little anxious. He raised his hand and patted his ears hard with his palm. It hurt a little. Tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes and his vision became blurred.
She didn't like to cry. The first time she cried was when she was slapped by the midwife when she was born. The other time was in Hanyuan. She said quietly that when she woke up after recovering from her illness, there was no trace of Song Yanqing in the whole Hanyuan.
I accidentally broke a white porcelain medicine bottle, and cried like crazy, from day to night, from sunrise to moonset; the other time was just now, oh, damn, my eye sockets were not framed...
Chu Shou stood there a little at a loss, with his head lowered in defeat, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly. She was afraid that he would see her tears rolling down, her sad and desperate look, and that she would obviously
She knew that the world was sorry for him, but she still couldn't stand by his side, fearing that he would blame her wrongly and regard her love as cheap sympathy and pity, because she remembered that he said that these were the things he hated the most.
She really couldn't stay any longer, so she loosened her grip on her robe, wiped away her tears neatly, nodded, a little dazed, turned around and left without leaving a word, and didn't know what to say.
Song Yanqing stared blankly at Chu Shou disappearing from sight, just like last night when she stabbed the man's chest with an arrow and fell down before disappearing in front of him. He sat in the armchair behind him like weightlessness, stunned.
For quite a while.
He raised his right hand and touched it close to his heart. It seemed like he was back on that rainy night. The sound of rain fell in his ears, and his temples began to beat suddenly again. This time, his heart no longer cramped. Logically speaking,
He should have been so painful that he fainted.
He hammered the place close to his heart with his fist, trying his best to suppress his complicated and turbulent emotions. He clenched his hand tightly on the armrest until the veins sprouted.
Her eyes were downcast and frustrated, like the fragile breeze when they first met her. She held a thick ancient book in her arms, compared it with her hands, muttered a sentence, and looked up at him...
"Why are you doing this?" Shen Yiyan came up from behind, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. He gently put it down on the desk and said, "According to the princess' temperament, we will still investigate what should be investigated."
Song Yanqing lowered her eyes in despair, her eyelashes cast a dark shadow, and said in a tone as if she was talking to herself: "No, it's all over..."
After saying that, he raised his hand to bring the medicine on the table, but Shen Yi Yan blocked it with his hand. He frowned and said worriedly: "Why don't you stop drinking it? I have already accepted the invitation to Yichunju, and I will see you in the evening."
Song Yanqing shook his head, laughed, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a bowl, and there's also the antidote she gave me."
What was in the bowl was the Huanshen Powder he drank that day in Cangjia City when he learned that the envoy of the Wu clan was coming to greet the Heavenly Official in person.
Because of frequent tinnitus, frequent headaches, and frequent angina, he relied on this medicine to relieve his pain. He used poison to fight poison. When he slept, nothing happened.
On the morning when Chu Shou came, he drank three bowls in one breath before it took effect. At that time, he almost rolled his eyes and fell into bed. He slept for a whole day and night without any dreams, but it was not considered a good sleep.
@
Chu Shou felt like a zombie, holding on to the heavy door all the way out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, feeling numb.
Over the years, he actually looked at himself this way, and this way he looked at the time they lived together in Hanyuan. It seemed that she was more willing to believe that he had changed than being tired and tired...
Chu Shou, who felt that he had suffered a serious blow both physically and mentally, collapsed on the carriage as soon as he arrived.
After sitting for a while, the three of them, headed by Su Tiying, came back carrying large and small bags.
Ah Shui followed the prescription and bought a lot of medicinal materials. She swore that she would take good care of the young lady's health. The serious illness before had really frightened her.
Su Tiying and Sanqian went to the rouge store, jewelry store and tailor shop to browse around, and purchased a lot of things according to the ideas and plans discussed in the morning to prepare for tonight's Yichun Juya gathering. The same thing
I also bought a bunch of them in large and small packages.
Holding a bunch of candied haws in one hand, Su Tiying bowed and sat back in the carriage, only to see Chu Shou already waiting inside with a bad look on her face. Her heart skipped a beat, maybe she was declined by Song Yanqing...
She hurriedly put down the things she had purchased, approached and asked, "Where's the post? Have you invited him? Was it successful? Why are you so depressed?"
Chu Shou waved his hand, took out the overly delicate greeting card from his arms, and put it into Su Tiying's arms. He lowered his eyes, shook his head and said, "There is something more terrifying than not handing over the greeting card. You want to
Don’t listen…”
Su Tiying frowned, sighing secretly in her heart, and then asked weakly: "Can you listen?"
Chu Shou sat up straight, a wave of anger welling up in his heart. He carefully recalled every word that Song Yanqing said that pierced her heart. He only regretted why he didn't open his mouth to refute at that time, and just stood there stupidly without moving.
Moving?
With her blood surging, she wished she could go back and argue with him in detail. What he said was obviously some fallacy, but she had no way to argue.
But now the exquisite sentence to refute him was automatically formed in his mind. Chu Shou hated that iron cannot become steel, and secretly sighed in his heart: You worthless guy, why did you suddenly lose your mouth just now?
So, she told the three people about the situation just now in a very emotional voice.
The carriage bumped all the way, but the four people in the carriage didn't notice it at all. They all listened with great interest, sighed, sometimes patted the thigh, sometimes patted Chu Shou's shoulder, and sometimes smashed their fists angrily on the side walls and cushions of the carriage.
They were all filled with righteous indignation and listened with great joy.
"Hmph! It's a shame that our lady misses him all the time. How can you say this to our lady? How can it be false?" Ah Shui frowned and spoke angrily.
Sanqian followed up and said in a rough voice: "It was the clan leader who secretly rescued him at that time. Why did this man turn his face and deny himself?"
Su Tiying echoed indignantly: "That's right!"
She praised her even more than those who praised her, but then she thought about it, based on her experience, if all this is not a dream, but a book, then the love-hate entanglement between the male and female protagonists, as well as the sadistic love,
Most of it is composed of countless misunderstandings. Either the heroine has no mouth or the hero has no mouth. Either the supporting character is mute, or there are secrets that cannot be said or told.
In this situation, I'm afraid there is only one possibility, which is - "According to my experience, does he have something to hide, or does he not want you to get involved in something dangerous?"
Ah Shui and San Qian listened with half-belief and doubt. Su Tiying added: "According to some of the details you told about him before, if you weren't in love yourself, then he still has feelings for you...and he didn't do it yesterday.
He also carried you to the palace, but now that he is acting uncharacteristically, there is a high chance that he will deliberately say harsh words."
"Think about it, so many things have happened recently, and it's so unfair. He is definitely afraid of getting you involved in something. The plots in general novels are like this..." After saying that, Su Tiying said proudly.
A smile.
Chu Shou was stunned for a while, then thought about it carefully, frowned, and softly uttered a sentence: "What you said... makes sense..."
I don’t allow my male and female protagonists to have misunderstandings hehe
