Continue the love affair of the red mansion

Candles flicker out a hazy and soft shadow.

Daiyu took the pen to render the landscape on the spread snow wave paper, without any distraction to outline the scene of the lost tower in the fog and the moon crossing the maze. all ruined.

Daiyu was startled, looked at the ball of ink, and sighed regretfully, but lost her mood, and simply put down the pen, dazed.

These days I have been restless. I wanted to write and paint, so that I could concentrate and calm down, but whoever thought I couldn't.

Can't help sighing softly.

Zijuan came in with a midnight snack: "Girl, the bloody bird's nest has been stewed into soup, and some snowflake foreign sugar has been added, do you want to use some?"

Daiyu said sullenly: "Forget it, let's put it there."

Zijuan saw that Daiyu was not in a good mood, and was about to say something to explain her away, when suddenly footsteps sounded in the alley outside, and the sound became louder and louder, followed by a thunderous knock on the door.

Even though it was far away, it still sounded heart-pounding.

Daiyu frowned and said, "What happened?"

A woman ran over in a panic, and shouted outside the courtyard: "Miss, it's not good, there are many officers and soldiers here, and I want the master to go out and ask questions."

Daiyu's heart tightened slightly. Could it be that her premonition was so accurate? She clenched her little hands lightly, but she still took a deep breath, stood up steadily, walked out of the room slowly, and glanced at the panicked people on the porch outside. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were at a loss said calmly: "Don't be nervous. Wait for me to go and see."

She took the hood veil from Xueyan, put it on, and helped Zijuan to go out. She was dressed in plain clothes and light clothes, and the aqua blue hood was as graceful as a lotus in the wind.

Outside the second door, Aunt Yun was eagerly explaining something to someone, but she seemed to be alone.Daiyu frowned and said, "Auntie, what happened?"

Aunt Yun hurried over with a flustered expression: "Girl, these officials want to search our house and want to see the girl."

Daiyu looked around at those soft-armored soldiers with one-color sword tassels and persistent torches, all of them were like iron towers, apart from seriousness, there was almost no second expression on their faces, these were definitely not the officers and soldiers of Shuntian Mansion , I was also somewhat surprised.Aunt Yun squeezed her hand lightly, and signaled with her eyes, Daiyu immediately understood what she meant. Could it be that... the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly, and she pretended to speak in a steady and clear voice: "Auntie What are you panicking about? How should I say it? Daddy also served in the imperial court, so he should have seen some of the world. Since you want to investigate, there is nothing wrong with asking for an order from the imperial court. Let them search, but my room cannot be called by those Those who pickle go in."

As she said, she turned around, wanted to leave, wanted to buy time, and moved the person to another place first, when a voice sounded from outside: "Hehe, Miss Lin is still so eloquent."

The voice was clear yet gentle, when Daiyu turned her head suddenly, she saw the man slowly entering in the flickering flames, the white clothes were as light as snow, spotless as if the moon had descended on a celestial being.

The handsome face is as pure as jade, the deep pupils are still like clouds in the sky, and the snow on the mountain top, gentle and noble, Tsinghua University can't match.

For some reason, Daiyu suddenly remembered that night dream, when she rescued herself from the whirlpool of the quagmire, the corner of the white robe passed by in a trance, and she didn't feel hesitant, but he had already smiled slightly: "Miss Lin, we meet again."

Daiyu frowned slightly, took a step back, and saluted like a ceremonial: "I don't know if it's the King of Beijing coming, my little girl is rude."

"No need." Shui Rong took an extra step forward, and was already in front of Daiyu. She stretched out her hand and gently touched Daiyu's arm. He said in his ear, "Don't be afraid."

Just four words, like the gentleness of pulsing water, twitched her heartstrings for no reason. Daiyu raised her eyes, facing those unfathomable deep pupils, and unconsciously lowered her voice: "What the hell is going on?" What is it?"

She didn't realize that a question revealed familiarity.

A faint smile flashed across the water-soluble eyes, and she looked down at her, her slender fingers pressed the corners of her lips lightly, and shook her head, which meant to keep silent, so Daiyu didn't speak anymore, but still couldn't help but look away.

Although he knew that his scheming was immeasurable, but at the moment he appeared, his heart was surprisingly calm.

Although, at this moment, the sound of footsteps like a tide is coming from all around.

"Come on, come in for me."

At the same time as this ferocious and domineering voice sounded, Shui Rong said unhurriedly: "Miss Lin, I'm sorry to disturb you tonight. This king is also doing business as usual, so please forgive me if I offend you."

The voice was not deliberately raised, but it could definitely be heard clearly by the few people who just entered the door.

Daiyu didn't understand the situation, she just felt that these few words were clouded, but because of his gentle and encouraging eyes, she had to follow along and said: "My little girl dare not. My lord, please go ahead."

Shui Rong said: "Girl can rest well, I don't think anyone else will disturb me tonight."

"Thank you, my lord."

At the same time as a row of Shuntian Mansion's soldiers entered, Shui Rong casually took two steps forward, blocked Daiyu as if unintentionally, raised his eyebrows and raised his voice, "Who is it!"

The one in the lead suddenly raised his head, and at the same time he stopped his pace, he had already seen who it was. He couldn't help being startled, and knelt down with a thud: "The villain pays his respects to the King of Beijing."

"That's all." Shui Rong raised his eyebrows lightly, faintly displeased: "You, arresting the head? What is Shuntian Mansion doing here?"

"Back to the lord, the villain is the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion, Zhang Wan. Master Wu received a complaint from the uncle's mansion and was ordered to arrest a fugitive slave from the mansion of the uncle." Although the man was anxious, he could face this Master, but he had to put on a flattering smile and explain patiently.

"A runaway slave?" Shui Rong stood with his hands behind his back, and said with a sharp and cold look in his gentle eyes: "This is not a trivial matter. According to the regulations of this court, escaped slaves should be punished with a stick or death. It's the same crime. Those who have nobles will cut down their nobles, and ordinary people will be sent to prison for questioning. The fugitive slaves in the Jinxiang uncle's mansion are even worse. .”

The words were full of sarcasm, but the head catcher couldn't figure it out, but he still smiled obsequiously: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. If the lord has nothing to say, villain, I have to do something wrong." His eyes were tricky, and he caught the looming sight behind Shui Rong. A trace of skirt angle.

"Wait. This king just searched this mansion." Shui Rong took a sip and said, "There is no fugitive slave you are looking for here. If you want to find it, look elsewhere."

The man was stunned: "What...what?"

"It's a coincidence. The king received the report today and found the traces of the previous assassin in the south of the city. Fearing that it would be harmful to the emperor, he brought people to investigate. The mansions in this area have been checked." That faint trace The smile on the corners of his lips disappeared immediately, and his water-soluble tone was cold and decisive: "I haven't seen the fugitive slave you mentioned, so I don't need to go to Tianfu to investigate again."

Zhang Wan was dumbfounded: "Search, have you searched?"

"I don't like to repeat what I said." Shui Rongqingjun's face suddenly became stern, and his eyes were as sharp as frost.

Dressed in snow-satin white clothes facing the wind, as tall as a jade tree, standing in front of him, blocking all the wind, knives, frost and swords that he should have endured alone.

Daiyu was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly appeared in front of her eyes the moment when the crossbow arrows flew from the carriage that day.

Two completely different scenarios, but at this moment there is a point of convergence.Since when, he is always there at such a critical moment.
