Changqing Ci

Ana Yanran didn't care about Xun Yisu's ridicule, and she didn't shy away from her direct gaze. The courtyard filled with flames suddenly became quiet, making people feel even more eerie. After a cup of tea, the soldiers moved out a lot of weapons from the backyard. armor.

She walked over and kicked the weapon with her feet. The iron made a loud noise. It was made of real iron and not bamboo. She said casually: "There are weapons hidden in the mansion, can you explain to the princess."

Xun Yisu never cared about what Anaxuan did, but it didn't mean she didn't know about it. She also heard about the hidden weapons in the mansion, but she didn't check it out, because she knew that Anaxuan had great ambitions. If she intervenes, it will only be to her own detriment.

Indifference is the guarantee of survival.

She stepped down the steps and walked slowly to the piles of weapons on the ground. She was wearing a pure white knitted embroidered skirt with wide sleeves and fluttering. When she walked, she was like a pure flowing cloud above the sky at night. The firelight shone into her eyes and was still visible. An Ning Zhenhe in the past said, "The princess should ask Anaxuan about this. When I married here, she guarded me like a thief. How could I know about her?"

Ana Yanran stood with her hands behind her back, with a look of arrogance that Xun Yisu had never seen before, she was completely different from the quiet Princess Pingnan she had seen in Daqi, she said with a smile: "It's too late to say I don't know now. Now, Anaxuan intends to rebel, and you can't escape."

"Princess made a mistake. I am from Daqi. If you want to kill me, the king may not dare. If I die, the two countries will raise troops and fight again. This is probably not the situation that the king wants to see."

Ana Yanran smiled, suppressed the hatred in her eyes, and said coldly: "But this is a situation I am very willing to see!"

At the end of the sentence, Xun Yisu felt chills. At this moment, he probably understood that Anaxuan should be implicated by her, and that Anayanran's purpose was to kill her and stir up disputes between the two countries. .

Fear, cold, and bewilderment all rushed into my heart, Xun Yisu was stunned, Shao Yun is not scary, Xun is also not scary, and the most frightening thing is the person in front of you, she can stand quietly in front of you , swinging a knife to kill you, and you can do nothing but be surprised.

"What is your purpose? If I die, the news of your appearance in the frontier will immediately spread to the Imperial Capital, and Xun Changqing will be abandoned by Daqi because of you. Before you achieve your goal, she will die first."

It was supposed to be a kind reminder, but Ana Yanran glared at her. She took a step forward and grabbed Xun Yisu by the throat. With strength in her arms, she directly mentioned Xun Yisu, and said with a sneer: "You people from Daqi, you are the ones who want to be with Xun Yisu." What does killing each other have to do with me, Xun Changqing was not born to me, Xun Yi and I are just a couple in name, who knows where Xun Changqing was brought back from by him."

Xun Yisu was strangled by her neck and was forced to lift it up, touched the hatred in her eyes, and then hesitated again, Ana Yanran hated Da Qi so much, why was she willing to get married back then?

Her eyes were red, when Xun Yisu thought she was going to die, Ana Yanran let go of her hand, she fell to the ground in embarrassment, gasping for hard-earned air, her dark eyes were reddened by the flames, she All she could think about was Yuan Yu. If Yuan Yu knew about these things, would she come to the frontier to save her?

She longed for that person to come, but she didn't want her to come.

To come is to pay attention to her, to have her in my heart, but it is a dead end, how should the family and the country choose between her?

Ah, what will you do?

Tears flowed down her cheeks, and the thoughts and longings she once had disappeared overnight. She held onto the dust on the ground tightly and begged softly, "Princess, let Yuan Yan go."

It's fine if you don't come!

When the crisis came, she was so quiet, her watery eyes were fixed on Ana Yanran, her brows were condensed, and a tear could not hold back the corner of her lips, "Princess, although A'a is the guard of the border city, she is also your old friend. Can you raise your hand high?"

The old title didn't make Ana Yanran's heart soften, "Yuan Xun will be her border guard, and she will be fine. If she crosses the national border, the ruler will not be able to let me go after she finds out." Ana Yanran looked down at her. Xun Yisu, tears hung on his pale cheeks, crystal clear like pearls, but unfortunately no one took pity on him.

She sneered and said: "Xun Yisu, those who are close to you are abandoned by your family and country. If you die, Xun Ziqian will not raise troops for you, and Yuan Yu will not seek revenge for you across borders. You are wandering like a lonely leaf. Only you feel sorry for you." Own."

Ana Yanran didn't turn her head back, she walked out by herself, the brocade robe was blowing in the wind, hunting, and ordered: "Seal the palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and we will deal with it after reporting to the king."

Stepping swiftly, Ana Yanran's back quickly disappeared into the curtain of the night, Xun Yisu's helpless gaze fell on the coldly shining weapon, and his dim eyes were unusually abrupt.

The wind blew away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the cold moonlight appeared in the sky, penetrated the coolness of the night, and fell on the mansion tightly surrounded by soldiers.

For the first time, she was in a state of confusion and couldn't think of any countermeasures. What Ana Yanran did was too sudden, like a sharp sword resting on her throat.

..........................................

Dijing.

The matter of the tribute horse has been investigated for more than half a month. The Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rituals are all busy. The tribute is not only missing horses, but also many rare treasures. They should be living among the people. , Some self-conscious people handed over these things to help the court find out who was behind the trafficking.

Everyone in the imperial court is in danger, for fear that someone will accidentally find out about themselves. Even if it has nothing to do with the matter, it is difficult to guarantee that what they have done before will be found out. No one can be as clean as water.

The people in the imperial capital also had a lot of topics after dinner because of this incident. They saw the imperial guards all over the street arresting people every day, and they were so frightened that they hid at home and dared not go out. Go over quickly.

The quietest place in the past half month was the Pingnan Palace. Xun Changqing was forced by Wei Lingci to go to Guozi Academy every day, so he didn't have any leisure time for teasing.

It was already the beginning of February when the princess mansion was repaired.

The gate of the princess mansion is facing the south. It is a bustling commercial street. There are various shops on the street, and there are many wine shops. You can buy some gadgets as soon as you go out. There is a wall, but it takes a long way to go from the front door, and it takes time for a cup of tea.

Xun Changqing saw the structure of the two mansions from the map, and felt that it was troublesome to get in and out, so he ordered the housekeeper to cut through the only wall that separated them, and built a corner door that two people could enter and exit at the same time.

When Wei Lingci came, he brought all of Lingyunshan's books with him. They used to fill up several carriages, and now they have moved into the princess's mansion. Wei Lingci was tidying up in the study alone. There were boxes full of books all over the floor. Sometimes I don't know how to settle down.

In the evening, Xun Changqing came to the study directly after school. At this time, there were a few boxes scattered in the corner of the room, and most of the books were neatly placed on the bookcase.

The structure of this study was done by Wei Lingci. She laid an earth dragon under the floor to keep warm in winter without charcoal fire. On the top, I discarded the tables and chairs and other things, and only placed a small table.

After Xun Changqing entered, he lay down on it, lazily turned over, tilted his head and looked at the person who was still arranging the books, and murmured: "Tomorrow I will take a rest."

There seemed to be some resentment in the words. Since that night, Wei Lingci stared at her like a prisoner, and was not allowed to go anywhere except Guozixue. She guessed in her heart that she was venting her anger for that night.

After all, it was her fault that night, and Wei Lingci promised to give her a year, and she should be a good boy if she got a bargain.

Hearing such childish words, Wei Lingci put down the collection of poems in his hand, and said with a smile: "So what about Xiumu, the imperial capital is not safe, where do you want to go, I'm afraid no one is willing to accompany you, Zhao Yang is also trapped in the mansion , do you go out to play alone?"

"If I don't go out, I just want to ask you, are you going to live here tonight?"

"Everything has been moved here, so should I return it?"

"what about me?"

Wei Lingci glanced at her, knocked her on the head with a collection of poems, and said softly, "I said the other day that you are not welcome in the Princess's Mansion, so you should naturally go back to your Prince's Mansion."

"You still said that I was forbidden to enter the mansion, but I still come in now. Your words are no longer counted." Xun Changqing sat up, moved to her side, and leaned against her body as if there were no bones, feeling comfortable physically and mentally Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of coming here today, and took the opportunity to lean closer to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Zi Jin has arrested a person, and he was caught outside the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Wang Bai."

"Who is that person? He's from Jizhou?" Wei Lingci turned sideways slightly, and Xun Changqing ran into her arms without realizing it. The girl's bones were not as big as an adult's, and her small body was very soft. She fell on the ground On her legs, her head almost hit the corner of the table, and she hurriedly kicked the desk away.

The two of them lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground, rolling into a ball. Xun Changqing was wrapped in her arms, neither hurting nor itching, he smiled and lay on her arm, not intending to sit up, but continued the topic just now .

"You are simply a monster. That person was sent by the governor of Jizhou to ask Wang Bai for help. The tribute was sold by Yao Kun, the governor of Jizhou, but he gave all the money he got to Wang Bai and Shao Cheng. Now Shao Cheng sees If he couldn’t save him, Wang Bai stood on the sidelines again, Yao Kun had no choice but to send people to Beijing to ask for help. But they were all turned away, I guess Zijin kidnapped him, Shao Cheng and Wang Bai couldn’t sit still.”

The person in her arms was thinking more and more, which showed that she was studying very hard. She didn't say this clearly, but it was not easy for Xun Changqing to be able to think thoroughly. Why don't you send the person to the Ministry of Punishment, and if you put it in your own hands, something will happen."

"No, I plan to hand it over to Yuan Qingming. I don't know if the Criminal Ministry will conceal it and not report it. It's not as good as Yuan Qingming's uprightness." Xun Changqing looked up at her, as if looking at his favorite snacks when he was young, and pursed his lips tightly. , thought for a while, and then said: "Should we remind Yuan Qingming to pay attention to his surroundings recently, in case someone is against him."

Wei Lingci blushed from being stared at by her, and stretched out his hand to cover the pair of deceptive peach blossom eyes, the uncontrollable joy in his heart surged like a tidal wave, and he said to himself: "Since you have thought of it, then do it, Don't ask me."

The soft and delicate palms and the faint scent of ink made Xun Changqing overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to cover Wei Lingci's palm, tilted his head and said happily, "Okay, then I'll let Zijin send him over tonight."

After Wei Lingci withdrew his hand, he looked at the other place, and was suddenly taken advantage of by this person, and she secretly kissed him on the cheek again. When he stared and wanted to speak, a man's voice came from outside the room, "Wei Lingci, Brother is here."

The two were lying on the ground in an indecent posture. Wei Lingci let her go and sat up. When he raised his hand to arrange his clothes, Mu Chen's people rushed in and said with a smile: "Wei Lingci, I'm standing in the courtyard." For a long time, you haven't noticed my arrival, your vigilance has regressed too much, why don't you go back to Lingyun and start again."

The beautiful scene was disrupted, Wei Lingci's earlobe was bright red, and Xun Changqing sat up cross-legged, looking at Mu Chen in white and jade belt, feeling unwilling, and said strangely: "Master, you should knock on the door when you come in! "

"Knock on what door?" Mu Chen slapped Xun Changqing's forehead. After not seeing him for several months, the girl seemed to have grown up, her eyebrows and eyes were sharper than before, and her small mouth was not forgiving, but he saw The God of Wealth could not be offended, and said softly, "Changqing, do you have money?"

Xun Changqing rubbed his forehead, tilted his head and said, "No!"

"You look stingy, you didn't know how to treat your uncle to dinner when you came to the Imperial Capital, you are really just like your master, you don't want to take a hair out of your hair."

One sentence offended both of them. Xun Changqing didn't dare to offend with words, but Wei Lingci was not afraid, with a smile on his lips, "You are in charge of Lingyunzong now, and you still need money? Could it be that you want money to drink flower wine? "

Wei Ling's guess was right, which made Mu Chen overjoyed, couldn't hide his joy, and immediately smiled and said: "The oiran dance on the first floor is so wonderful that it makes people dream about it. I want to take another look today, but I don't have enough money. , I will naturally ask you to borrow some."

The words have come out, and Mu Chen is an elder, Xun Changqing really can't be a fool, so he had to ask him: "How much money does the uncle want?"

Mu Chen stretched out a slap, and Xun Changqing asked him back, "500 taels?"

Mu Chen showed disgust and shook his head.

This is borrowing a lot of money, Xun Changqing regretted opening his mouth, curled his lips and said: "I will ask the housekeeper to give you 5000 taels later."

Mu Chen smacked his lips, stared at her, and said directly: "5000 taels can't do anything, Xiao Changqing, don't be stingy, I want 5 taels of silver!"

5 taels, Xun Changqing was stunned for a moment, and hid behind Wei Lingci to prevent another slap for no reason. The princess’s mansion is not even sold at this price.”

Wei Lingci's eyes froze, he glanced at Mu Chen calmly, and said, "5 taels can't be taken out right now, maybe 1 taels."

It's better to have money than to run for nothing, Mu Chen said along the way: "Alright, Junior Sister, the first floor is very exciting, do you want to go and see it together?"

Such an invitation is extremely abrupt. Although the two are brothers and sisters, men and women are different after all. Mu Chen's words are unreasonable, but Wei Lingci agreed without thinking, and nodded: "Yes."

"No, I don't agree." Xun Changqing popped up at the right time, his eyebrows on Ninghua's face were frowned, looking at the bright smile on Wei Lingci's cheek, he quietly reached out and squeezed her waist hard. After a while, he said in a low voice: "I don't agree."
