Return to the rumor

A carriage was walking on the official road from Yunzhou to Xindu, accompanied by two rows of soldiers.

The groom driving the carriage was a young man with a white face and a slight beard. His delicate and fair face was flushed red by the howling cold wind, and his nose was so cold that he wiped it clean with his sleeves.

He didn't dare to delay at all. When these soldiers came to the town to arrest people, they all had livid faces and threatened them with their knives if they didn't agree with the slightest sentence. treat.

The weather in Yunzhou is mild all year round, and there is no severe heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. Therefore, the young man has suffered a lot when he leaves the boundary of Yunzhou.On the road, sleeping in the wind and sleeping in the open, every meal can only eat hard, cold steamed buns. Apart from these, gusts of cold wind, occasionally accompanied by a chilling drizzle, imperceptibly turn the road ahead that has no end in sight. The journey was a lot longer, and there was not even a chattering companion on the road, so it was extremely difficult to take a breath.

"Cough, cough, cough!" There was another dull and heavy coughing sound in the carriage, and the young man frowned when he heard the sound, thinking to himself that Mr. Ju's cold had become more and more serious since the day he set off on the road. If he didn't seek medical advice, I am afraid that the illness will be delayed, and it will be fatal if delayed into tuberculosis.

Opening the corner of the curtain, the young man slapped the horse's buttocks and asked in a low voice to Ju Mengbai who was nestled in the corner: "Mr. Ju, if you go forward for about an hour, there will be villages inhabited. There should be quack doctors. They said a few good things, why don't you go see a doctor?"

Because he lifted the curtain, the cold wind scrambled to get into the compartment through the small gaps, whistling around in circles, Ju Mengbai felt cold all over his body, and he folded his collar feebly. A fishy sweetness surged up, and after a violent cough, I spread out the handkerchief used to cover my mouth to see, and there was another pool of dark red blood.

After a long time, she calmed down, took a peaceful breath, put away the towel, and then turned her face in the direction of the voice, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, you just go on your way."

The young man hesitated to speak, but there were soldiers shouting sharply in his ears, so he put down the curtain and drove quietly.

After everything calmed down, Ju Mengbai sighed softly.

The soldiers came suddenly and unreasonably. It had been a long time since there was a letter from Xindu. It was conceivable that there must have been an accident. In any case, she had to drag this crippled body to see Lu He. Did the child live a peaceful life as she wished, so even if he died, he would have no regrets.

Xindu.

The weather turned cold and the emperor was ill. Yiyang went to the palace to visit and served the decoction for three days and three nights. He was extremely filial.That day when the emperor was taking a nap, he saw her still waiting by the bed with teary eyes, bloodshot eyes, and felt very distressed, so he said that he was so panicked when he saw her, and he was kicked out.

In the chariot on the way home from the palace, Yiyang propped his chin with one hand, his mind was wandering, and his spirit was sluggish.

Not for anything else, just for Lu He.

In the past few days, people have been sending people to ask if Lu He was bullied and suppressed by anyone after he was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, whether someone gave advice on government affairs after Lu He was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and whether Lu He had a child with Hu Laiyan after he was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It's a conflict. After Lu He was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, did he ever deal with people who shouldn't be with each other...

Hearing this, the servant asked, Your Highness, who are the people who shouldn't be friends with?

The rouge powder is too thick, the flowers are pasted too densely, the hair is tied too beautifully, and the pearl hairpins are worn too much...

Yiyang spoke a long list, but at the end he heard that the servant was wrong--Your Highness, there are no women in the Ministry of Punishment, Master Lu has no chance to be promiscuous, and there is no way to steal.

Yiyang was startled when he heard that, and then his face turned red. It's so obvious that her thoughts on Lu He are so obvious?Even the servants looked over easily.After a while, he expressionlessly ordered the servant to go to the cashier to collect the reward, just because the words "prostitution" and "stealing" were used to please her.How did she know that the servant just didn't read enough, picked up two words randomly in his mind to pretend to be face-saving, and never thought that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse.

Touching the jade ring worn at the waist, touching the gap, thinking of the last time with Lu He, her brows involuntarily frowned.

At that time...was it more serious?The servant who delivered the decree that day said that the fingerprints on his face were still swollen as high as a finger after a day, and the ointment that was applied was a very effective ointment for reducing swelling and blood stasis.Will Lu He feel hatred for me because of this?Yes, otherwise, you wouldn't have stopped visiting me for so many days.Maybe... the Ministry of Criminal Justice is busy with affairs, so she can't help but be overwhelmed?Although it was Lu He's intention to enter the Ministry of Punishment, and if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub, but... you work with your own father-killing enemy all day long, regardless of whether you are unhappy or not, but you are already in the abyss, and you are a little careless Then there is the danger of life.

Yiyang began to regret that he asked the emperor for an order to transfer Lu He to the Ministry of Punishment without thinking.

But after thinking about it, Ju Mengbai will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and with Mr. Lu He, who seems to know everything about him, by his side, there should be more chances of winning?

Thinking about it, Yiyang regretted ordering someone to bring Ju Mengbai to the capital. After all, Ju Mengbai gave Lu He such a bad idea to play himself like a monkey. Arrived safely in Beijing to meet with disciple day and night?Even she herself hasn't seen Lu He for several days.

Heartbroken and panicked, Yiyang Xin raised a corner of the curtain of the car with his hands—restaurant fronts, shop plaques, travel baskets, blue bricks and black tiles...all passed by in front of his eyes, and Taohua's eyes were as calm as water, calm until the car drove away. Walking to the corner of the street, a familiar figure came into view at the right time and hit the bottom of my heart. The surface of the water seemed to be lightly brushed by a weeping willow, and itchy circles rippled.

As the car got closer and closer, the figure moved from far to near, and the voice of fighting with people gradually became clearer——

"Mr. Xie, although it's Xiumu today, I still have some urgent matters to take care of at home. I would like to thank you for the invitation in advance, and I will visit you tomorrow."

Lu He wanted to leave, but Mr. Xie refused to give up. He grabbed her arm and smiled lightly: "What is Mr. Lu in a hurry to do? I heard that Mr. Lu has not married a wife yet. Could it be trivial things like rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea?" Business? Yoyo—look at Mr. Lu, who has thin arms and legs, but I don’t want him to work hard and hurt his body. If you have anything to do, you might as well leave it to these servants in my house, and you can go back to the house and chat for a while Just a word!"

This Young Master Xie is none other than the eldest son of Guanglu Siqing. He is a manly man, and his family supports dozens of prostitutes.

His hands were strong, and Lu He couldn't break free, and he was about to be dragged away by force. Suddenly, a servant in Tsing Yi came hurriedly, and after bowing to the two of them, he smiled all over his face, and said, "Lord Lu, you should His Highness Yang has a poem that he cannot understand, and wants to ask you for advice."

Before Lu He was promoted to Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Justice, he served as a lecturer in Yiyang Princess's Mansion. Mr. Xie didn't know why. Now, following the servant's instructions, there was indeed a luxurious car with gold and jade carvings parked on the street. Resentful, he let go of Lu He's hand, and watched the beauty he coveted for a long time fluttered away like a boiled duck.

Stepping into the carriage, Lu He saluted respectfully as usual: "Your Highness." Yiyang ignored him, holding a book in his hand, and read it with downcast eyes, quite seriously.Lu He waited for a while, and finally reminded helplessly, "Your Highness, the book... has been taken down."

The hand holding the scroll trembled slightly, Yiyang took a closer look, and saw that the densely packed words on the paper were all spinning upside down in front of his eyes, coughed lightly, his face expressionless, and his voice was even and steady: "This book has always been read upside down. of."

"..." Lu He raised his eyelids and glanced at the book cover, his heart sank and his head dropped even lower, "What your highness said is that I am ignorant. I don't know... which poem does your highness want to teach?"

There are spacious and comfortable couches on both sides of the carriage, and a food table on one side, with exquisite pastries and top-quality fruits placed on it.

Yiyang sat in the middle, and Lu He sat on one side, not far apart, but not close.

Putting down the scroll, he sat a little closer calmly, but at the same time, Lu He sat a little further away with a serious face, one sat a little closer, the other a little farther away, seeing her move a few more steps She had to fall down, Yiyang straightened up, blocked her retreat with lightning speed, took her by the back of the hand, and asked her: "There are trees in the south, you can't rest. There are wandering girls in Han, you can't rest." Thinking... please explain one or two for me, sir."

Yiyang's eyes were burning, revealing her unintentional love, but it made Lu He feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. She turned her face to one side, pressed her lower lip tightly, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "I have little talent and little knowledge, this question... has no solution... .”

"Why is there no solution?" Yiyang and Lu He stuck so close, exhaling like blue.

Lu He wanted to run away, moved slightly to the other side, shrank his whole body down, closed his eyes slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "The word love has always been incomprehensible."

Yiyang propped one hand on the couch, completely blocking Lu He's way, and still holding the back of Lu He's hand with the other hand, squatting in front of her, smiling sweetly: "Sir, there are only this place on the left and right." As big as you are, where else do you want to go?"

It was silent all around, only the sound of the wheels lingering in my ears.

Lu He was finally defeated. She slowly opened her eyes, and without avoiding Yiyang's passionate gaze, she smiled miserably: "Your Highness is a princess, with a body of golden branches and jade leaves. Naturally, your Highness orders the ministers to go wherever they go." , without His Royal Highness's order, I dare not act without authorization."

After Lu He came in, Yiyang never took his eyes off her face. The finger marks faded away, she became thinner, she didn't see the dimples, and her smile was heavy. It stands to reason that Yiyang should feel distressed. But now, after hearing what Lu He said, I really wish I could beat her up again!

Clenching his fists tightly, and then loosening them dejectedly, Yiyang also smiled, but it was as cold as the morning light in the cold winter's twelfth lunar month: "Sir, what you said is high-sounding, when did you achieve even five points of my decree?! I You don’t need to bow down in front of me, have you done it? I asked you to treat me as an ordinary person, and you don’t need to care about high and low, have you done it?!”

The thin lower lip was bitten with bloodstains, Lu He didn't feel the pain, full of guilt, his eyes couldn't hide his struggle and intolerance, and said in a low voice: "...I'm guilty. I'm so different from your highness, and I dare not talk to your highness." I have no intention of following in Di Lan's footsteps, and I also ask Your Highness to take Princess Huaisi as a lesson and return to the right path as soon as possible."

Lu He also asked himself in his heart, do you like Yiyang?

If it is true to say that there is no liking, Yiyang is good-looking and treats others sincerely, especially when he treats himself with care and care to the bottom of his heart. Lu He thinks he is not hard-hearted, so how can he not be tempted?

But she wants revenge, and she wants to see the best. One day, Hu Laiyan will be brought to justice. How much time and age it will take during this period is impossible to predict. If by then, Yiyang will still like him yourself?Thinking about the worst, if the Dongchuang incident happened, the only thing waiting for her would be death. At that time, would she let Yiyang be separated from her forever, or would she want her to commit suicide like Princess Huaisi?

No matter how she thinks about it, there will be no good results, she can only cruelly push Yiyang away over and over again.
