Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

There was another soft sound outside, and there was a slight whining sound. Daiyu was about to ask, when suddenly the room went dark, and then she was hugged into a warm embrace, with a faint familiar ambergris in her nose, and then she heard Water-soluble low voice: "Don't make a sound, this time it's real."

Daiyu didn't make a sound, just lay down in Shui Rong's arms with peace of mind, listening to his firm heartbeat, stalemate for a while, but there was silence outside.

After a while, there was only the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then Zi Yang said relaxedly: "Don't worry, my lord, it was two night cats that jumped out of nowhere just now, and my subordinates have already dealt with them."

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and neither made a sound, quietly lying in Shui Rong's arms, silently feeling his firm heartbeat, Daiyu's heart was so clear.

Shui Rong lowered her head suddenly and called out: "Hair." Responding softly, Daiyu still buried her head in Shui Rong's arms, but listened to Shui Rong's faint voice: "Hair, tell the truth, do you marry me?" regret."

Didn't hear Daiyu's answer, Shui Rong only felt that Daiyu in his arms buried her head lightly, and the arms around her waist trembled slightly.

Seeing that Daiyu was silent and lowered her head, Shui Rong returned to her domineering nature, and said, "Hairy, answer me, you heard..." Before Shui Rong could finish speaking, a slender hand with a delicate fragrance was attached to her. , Daiyu raised her head, her clear eyes shone with a dazzling light in the night.

Lowering his head, Shui Rong heard Daiyu's answer without hesitation: "Yiqing, I have no complaints or regrets." Suddenly, a feeling of emotion surged up in his heart, Shui Rong hugged Daiyu tightly in his arms, and called out in a low voice. Voice: "Frowner."

Finding a reason to walk out of the house, Shui Rong's face turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "Zi Yang, tell me." Zi Yang came over lightly, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Shui Rong didn't make a sound for a long time, and Zhong Ziyang couldn't see the expression on Shui Rong's face clearly in the night, but the pair of tightly wrinkled eyebrows remained in place for a long time, and his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a cold light from time to time.

After a long time, I heard Shui Rong say: "Follow me from such a distance, I think it's urgent, let's go down first, let me think about it, since he wants to stir up old troubles, then I will settle it for him too." Old debts, he can't eat and walk around."

Zi Yang was just about to leave, but he heard Shui Rong say: "One more thing, you add a sentence to the letter you received today: an eye for an eye, wait for your master, send someone to send him back, this king really wants to see him What can be found out, I am afraid it will surprise him then."

After Ziyang left, Shui Rong didn't go back to his room immediately, but looked up at the moonless night sky, and the gloomy face of Prince Zhongshun couldn't help flashing in front of his eyes, and he said to himself: "It seems that you are the prince, I will I don’t want to touch you yet, but since you are restless, don’t blame me for being ruthless, you are just shooting yourself in the foot with a stone, and you have to suffer on your own.”

After the morning court, Long Mu returned to the imperial study room, picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and saw the little eunuch outside the door come in and replied: "Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun has an audience." Long Mu frowned, and then said : "Xuan."

After coming in to see the ceremony, Long Mu said calmly: "Is there something wrong with the emperor? He came to see me in such a hurry." Prince Zhongshun thought for a while, and said: "I have something to say. Last night, I was resting in the mansion. Suddenly someone broke into After entering, when the guards arrived, the person was gone, there was only one booklet on the minister's case. When the minister picked it up to read it, he found that it was the case file already filed by the Ministry of Punishment. There is something else to point out, so I dare not be negligent, and I have come here to report to the emperor."

Long Mu's face darkened, and he said, "Pass it up." After reading it carefully, Long Mu slowly put down the booklet, an imperceptible sneer flashed across his gentle face, and he said calmly, "What a coincidence, There are so many people in the court, why are they sent to the emperor's uncle?"

Zhongshun said in a calm and unhurried manner: "I was a little puzzled at first, but I realized after seeing the record in the case file that even though the matter was investigated by the Prince of the North at that time, the person in charge of the Ministry of Punishment was the minister, and there was also Minister's comment."

Seeing Long Mu bowing his head in deep thought, Zhong Shun couldn't help but secretly proud, and said in his heart: I know you will ask this, it's the so-called falsehood, so I can't doubt it, the old man has been in court for so many years, and accompanied two generations of kings, Is it possible that the old man can't understand the emperor's suspicious thoughts.

Long Mu nodded, and said with a blank expression: "I understand, come, someone, it is said that the king of Nan'an is here to see me." Picking up the notebook, Long Mu said: "Since there is something hidden about this matter, I will definitely investigate and find out. , the prince commits the same crime as the common people, no matter who it is, even the prince of the north whom I hold in high esteem, I will never tolerate it."

Prince Zhongshun was secretly happy, and said: "Your Majesty is wise." Changing the subject, Long Mu said again: "However, if you let me know that someone dares to slander my subjects, then I will never let it go."

Zhong Shun's originally joyful heart trembled again, his gloomy face was slightly moved, and then he said: "The emperor's lesson." Long Mu looked at him coldly, his majestic face was indifferent.

Gently putting down the notebook, Long Mu said: "I will hand over this matter to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate, what else does the emperor have to do." Prince Zhongshun said: "Please resign."

Seeing Prince Zhongshun retreating slowly, a sneer flashed across Long Mu's face, he picked up the folder on the dragon case, threw it out, and said to himself: "Don't tell me I don't know about this yet?" The inside story, Uncle Huang, you have too much to do."

The two cars parked there quietly, and Daiyu was saying goodbye to Baochai and the others. Not far away, Shui Rong and Baoyu stood together, silently watching the official road stretching far away.

Sighing, Baoyu said: "My lord, to be honest, Baoyu hated my lord before, and felt that my lord's marriage to Sister Lin was suspected of taking advantage of others' danger and taking advantage of others. Only then did Baoyu understand the look on his face, so..."

Without going on, Baoyu just looked at the distance in a daze.

Shui Rong looked at Baoyu and said solemnly: "Baoyu, you can't hate anyone. If you want to hate, you can only hate yourself. Although the golden and jade marriage is not your original wish, why didn't you refuse it? What about the marriage given by the empress dowager? I dare not accept the marriage offered by the emperor, Baoyu, can you?"

Raising his head, Shui Rong looked at the long road that stretched far away, and said: "It's useless to complain about others, so I won't wait for my parents' orders or the matchmaker's words. As long as I decide, I will do whatever it takes to get it. I admit that when I changed your sentence to go to Cangzhou, although it was to save you from Zhongshun's persecution, it actually had my own selfish motives."

Without hiding anything, her watery eyes were bright and firm, and she said: "You say that I am taking advantage of others' danger, or taking advantage of others, but I have given her a proper title, a comfortable life, and I Baoyu, aren’t these enough? Could you give them to her? It’s been seven years and you haven’t given them to her, so what face do you have to say it.”

Lowering her head, Baoyu didn't make a sound, and after a while, she said sadly: "My lord is right, I really don't have the right to blame anyone, and I can only blame myself. Since the marriage was bestowed by my mother, I have no face. Say who."

Neither of them made a sound, the cool wind blew each other's clothes, and under the morning light, two slender figures sprinkled on the flat official road.

After talking with Baochai and the others, Daiyu turned her head to look for Shui Rong, but saw the backs of two familiar figures beside the carriage in front of her, reflected in the early morning light, revealing a soft brilliance.

Silently looking at the two figures that left imprints in her heart, Daiyu couldn't help but hear Baoyu's anxious words: "I only have my sister in my heart, I wish I could turn into ashes immediately, so that you can understand my heart." How is it?" Suddenly another voice said arrogantly: "Remember, you will always be mine, whether it is a person or a heart."

For some reason, Daiyu felt her nose sore, she lowered her head, her clear eyes filled with tears, and when she raised her head again, Daiyu's eyes were clear and firm, and she walked slowly towards the handsome figure go.

Seeming to have a good understanding, Shui Rong turned around and called out with a smile, "Xiao'er, are you finished?" Daiyu smiled knowingly, and said, "Yes, it's getting late, Second Brother and the others are ready to go."

Turning her head to look at Baoyu, Daiyu's expression was calm and calm, and she said, "Second sister-in-law asked me when I plan to go on the road." Baoyu silently glanced at Daiyu, then looked at Shui Rong, and said, "Since it is In this way, Baoyu will leave here, and my lord and sister take care."

After speaking, without waiting for Shui Rong and Daiyu to reply, he turned and left.

Watching the car slowly go away, Daiyu found that her eyes, which had always been full of tears, were dry. She gently circled her with a pair of strong arms, and then fell into a familiar and warm embrace. Said: "Send you thousands of miles, and there will be a farewell at the end, Xiaoer, let's go home."

Raising her head, Daiyu saw the water-melting deep and clear eyes, she nodded, and Daiyu responded softly: "Yiqing, let's go home."

As soon as he got into the car, he didn't go far when he saw the guards in the mansion riding to the front of the car and said anxiously: "My lord, the emperor has summoned you."

Shui Rong's face darkened, and he said: "This king knows, Zi Yang, tell the coachman to hurry up."

Looking at Shui Rong's serious face, Daiyu couldn't help but said worriedly: "Yiqing." Slowing down, Shui Rong gently shook Daiyu's hand and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Outside Qianqing Palace, Xiao Anzi waited quietly outside the door, turning his head to look at the majestic palace from time to time. Shui Rong had entered for nearly three hours, but there was still no movement inside.

The little eunuch standing beside him couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Anzi's restlessness, and said: "Masters often stay up all night discussing matters, why are you so anxious."

Xiao Anzi said: "I'm a slave, don't I feel sorry for the lord, I don't even have lunch yet, it's almost dark." The little eunuch smiled and said: "The emperor often forgets to eat. Since the emperor ascended the throne, it has not been the third watch that night."

Xiao Anzi nodded and said: "It seems..." From a distance, Shui Rong came out, with a serious expression on his jade-like face, even hesitating in his usually vigorous steps.

Xiao Anzi glanced secretly, did not make a sound, followed Shui Rong step by step, and walked a long way before he heard Shui Rong sigh: "Go back to the house."
