Langya's dream

Chapter 160 IX [Caught in a Situation]

The white snow flutters like a butterfly, and the cold wind blows. When I got up today and opened the door, I found that it had snowed all night outside the door, and the whole earth was covered with a thick layer of quilt. This year's first snow extra large.

A few days ago, Jingyan came back from Wuzhou and presented a memorial in person, saying that the disaster situation is basically under control, and as long as the follow-up arrangements are in order, the locust plague can be overcome. His Majesty is very satisfied with this, and ordered him to personally supervise until the locust plague is completely complete. It's over, so in a few days, he will go to the land of five states again.

Sure enough, after receiving attention, he became much busier. I smiled knowingly, gathered my cloak and walked to Brother Su's room; yesterday he said that Concubine Jing had already noticed his identity, because Jingyan None of the food boxes were filled with hazelnut cakes. I also thought about it all night, and decided to tell him about the bracelet and purse that day, so as not to worry him any more.

"Brother Su, is it convenient for Qing'er to go in?" I asked standing at the door.

He hummed, and I shook off the coldness on my body, pushed the door open and walked in.

Brother Su poured me a cup of hot tea and beckoned me to sit over to keep warm, but I deliberately sat a little farther away because I was afraid of getting colder.

I took the hot tea, held it in my hands for a while, and said slowly, "Brother Su, I've thought about something for a long time, and I think I should tell you."

I told him exactly what happened when I received the bracelet that day.

After hearing this, Mei Changsu just smiled faintly, and said to himself, "So it's not just because of the Xiang Di Ji."

"Actually, I confiscated that gift, so Concubine Jing should not find out."

Mei Changsu shook his head, "The more you don't accept it, the more you will let her see the flaws; well, since it's all over, it's useless to say more." Mei Changsu picked up the water bottle and added some water.

Fei Liu pushed in from the side door, put a plum blossom in a vase, and handed the vase to Brother Su.

Mei Changsu took the vase and said it was beautiful, and as soon as Fei Liu was praised, he ran out happily again.

"It seems that the plum blossoms in Prince Jing's Mansion are blooming well this year." Zhen Ping walked in with a newly replaced hand stove.

Mei Changsu put down the vase, glanced at Fei Liu who was flying away, and said with a soft smile, "I don't know who taught Fei Liu the habit of randomly picking flowers in other people's yards.

"Who else is there? I haven't seen Pavilion Master Lin Shao this year. I really miss him. As long as he came to Langzhou back then, the league was so lively. Hey Miss, do you know where Pavilion Master Lin is recently?"

I shook my head, put down the cold teacup in my hand, looked at the snowflakes outside and said, "Although he is my elder brother, I really don't have any telepathy with him; the weather is getting colder, he will definitely go south Otherwise, he would have gone to Nanchu, but he will not find himself guilty at all."

After all, when I think about it, he really hasn’t written me a letter for a long time. On my birthday, he and my father wrote me a letter, but the content is all safe and don’t hang up, and there is no mention of happy birthday. Meaning; I curled my lips and poured a cup of tea on my own.

After a while, Li Gang came in from the outside, and said to Mei Changsu: "Sect Master, the carriage is ready, when do you think you will leave for Yanhou's Mansion?"

"Right now." Mei Changsu said, getting up to put on the cloak.

I saw that his health was getting worse and worse after the cold weather in recent days, so I couldn't help feeling a little worried, so I said, "Brother Su, how about I pretend to be you and go for you."

"No need, it's my first official visit, so I still have to go by myself; Zhen Ping, when the child arrives later, ask him to tell Mr. Shisan that all instrumental music performances will be suspended in the capital during the mourning period, so Miaoyinfang will be closed first." Let’s use the musical instrument shop connector in West Market instead.”

"It's the sovereign."

Seeing that he was so persistent, I didn't say anything more. After sending him out, I turned around and went back to the room.

In the afternoon, the heavy snow in the city stopped, and the sky was blue; Yuwang and Qin Banruo had been waiting in a cool house outside the city early.

From morning to afternoon, after waiting for more than half a day, Xia Jiang arrived in a leisurely manner.

Although Xia Jiang's late arrival made Yu Wang very dissatisfied, fortunately, the interests of the two hit it off, and Yu Wang's intention to revive was greatly supported.

In the middle of the night, Tong Lu improvised to see Mei Changsu, which almost shocked us all. When I put on my cloak and rushed to Brother Su's room, Zhen Ping, Li Gang and Tong Lu were already there.

"Mr. Shisan ordered me to come here temporarily because he had two matters to report to the suzerain; after Xie Yu arrived in exile, the League has been sending people to follow him secretly. Ruthless, it may be more of a temptation."

As soon as I stepped into the room, I heard Tong Lu talking about Xie Yu, and my ears perked up immediately.

Li Gang moved to the side and made room for me. I nodded slightly to him and sat down on the clothes.

After hearing this, Zhen Ping remembered the handwritten letter written by the suzerain Xie Yu, and then slowly said: "As long as Princess Liyang still holds the kit, Xia Jiang will not dare to let Xie Yu die easily. "

Mei Changsu nodded lightly, and told Zhen Ping, "Princess Laiyang, you need to arrange more people to take care of you. Make sure Prince Jing's patrol battalion strengthens the patrol of the Princess Mansion. Jing Rui is not here now. It's better to be more careful around her."

I sat across from Tong Lu, and I could see his expression clearly, he was distracted at the moment; I opened my mouth and asked Tong Lu, "Then what about the second thing?"

Tong Lu was awakened by my words, and suddenly came back to his senses, as if he remembered something: "Oh, Mr. Shisan has found out that Nie Feng's wife Xia Dong has not been in the capital for the past few months. She has rushed to Jiaxing close."

When Zhen Ping heard this, he suddenly thought of someone. He turned his head and said to Mei Changsu: "Wei Qi, the gatekeeper of Jiaxing, has always been Xie Yu's left deputy general. He was only transferred seven years ago. Xia Dong is going here, it should be I want to investigate whether Wei Qi knows the inside story of the old case."

"But before Mrs. Nie arrived at Jiaxing Pass, Wei Qi died suddenly." Tong Lu asked puzzled.

Mei Changsu was slightly startled. Wei Qi died as soon as the news arrived. It was too soon; Mei Changsu looked up at Tong Lu and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"

"It should be the work of Secretary Xuan Jing's dark pile."

Speaking of Wei Qi, I seem to have a bit of an impression that when Han Yan and others went to intercept Xie Yu, Wei Qi was not there. In my impression, Wei Qi followed the people from the Xuanjing Division to surround my Xinzhai After thinking about it, I said, "Actually, when Xie Yu ran to Meiling, Wei Qi was not by his side, and he didn't know much about the inside story. Your Excellency knows."

Mei Changsu nodded, "Xia Jiang is really sharp. From this point of view, he has become suspicious of Xia Dong." Mei Changsu gently rubbed his index finger and thumb, lost in thought.

Recalling Xia Jiang's methods, Li Gang said without anger: "Fortunately, he just became suspicious. He didn't know that Xia Dong had actually heard Xie Yu's confession, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."

I echoed what Li Gang said, and continued: "That's right, Xia Jiang is an old fox, he doesn't know any tricks; by the way, Tong Lu, how is your neighbor recuperating in your house? Last time I went to find him. When you were away, she entertained me."

Seeing that I suddenly mentioned Niang Juan, Tong Lu felt a little at a loss, he hesitated and said: "It's much better, that day was a coincidence, thank you Miss for your concern."

I smiled lightly, and Zhen Ping had obviously noticed something wrong with Tong Lu from our conversation, but Zhen Ping didn't ask on the spot, just observed silently.

Mei Changsu came back to his senses, and told Zhen Ping, "You also send people to protect Xia Dong; Tong Lu, if you have nothing else to do, you should step back first and tell Mr. Shisan that Qin Banruo won't If you give up easily, let him pay more attention."

"Yes." Tong Lu greeted Mei Changsu and me, Li Gang got up with him, and sent Tong Lu out.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhen Ping expressed his observations and concerns just now, and I sat aside, listening to the conversation between the two silently.

I can't directly talk to Brother Su about the matter between Tong Lu and Junniang, so I can only mention it in this way. Fortunately, Zhen Ping is more careful than Li Gang. With him, my scene will be more realistic Some.

When Tong Lu returned home, seeing that Niang Juan was still mending clothes for him, he couldn't help feeling warm.

Juan Niang bit off the last stitch, got up and picked up the clothes to compare with Tong Lu, and then casually said: "When your friend Zhimei came that day, I found her hands were a little cold. The folk remedy for cold hands and feet, where does she live, I can send it to her tomorrow."

"You can't take care of yourself well, and you have to be distracted to take care of others. Let me leave it to her for you."

"Alright, then you can give it to her tomorrow, it's so cold, she should celebrate the New Year early; ah, this collar is a bit too big, I'll change it again."

Juanniang's tenderness and shyness stimulated a certain nerve in Tonglu this night. Under Tonglu's affection, he told her that he wanted to marry her, but Junniang didn't refuse, and the two embraced at the table , the figure flickered by the candlelight, becoming particularly ambiguous.
