Return [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 23 Ancient Assassination Team (23)

Emperor Zhu Song's people still couldn't find Shi Hongxiao in the end. After Shi Qingyu knew that Shi Hongxiao was temporarily safe, he ate and drank well every day and lived a leisurely life. It seemed that he was not clear about the dark turbulence inside.

The days passed by like this, and it has been a month since Shi Hongxiao disappeared.

Qin Zhao opened the window, and the snow fell especially heavily today.Just opened a small window, and the wind with snowflakes swept into the room.Qin Zhao looked at the somewhat gray sky and felt that there would be a blizzard in the afternoon.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and today the servants of the Sixth Prince's Mansion are cleaning, the corridors are snowing heavily, Hou Butler just asks people to go to the back room, and clean up after the snow stops.

Not long after Qin Zhao woke up, a maid knocked on the door and walked in.Seeing the faint figure still lying on the bed in the screen, she lowered her voice and said to Qin Zhao, "Qin Ming, these are the clothes I ordered before, and I have to wear them to the palace tomorrow night."

Qin Zhao still remembered the fact that he had to enter the palace on New Year's Eve.He asked the maid to put down the clothes, and the maid put the clothes aside, then pointed to the floor below and said, "This is what the lord asked me to make for you by the way, Qin Ming, try it first, if it doesn't fit, I'll take it Make people change."

"Okay." Qin Zhao nodded, and after she left, he took off his clothes and looked at them.When did Shi Qingyu get this dress made?

The texture is very soft, it is the dark color he always likes, and there are dark lines on the side of the clothes, which looks a kind of low-key beauty.

"Qin Ming."

Shi Qinyu's voice came lazily from the other side of the bed, Qin Zhao let go of the clothes he was holding, and walked inside the screen.Shi Qingyu just woke up, because he propped up his upper body, his chest was wide open, revealing a piece of white in front of him.Although it was not the first time Qin Zhao saw Shi Qingyu like this, his breathing still stopped for a while.

Qin Zhao returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and with a serious face, he took the clothes lying beside him to help Shi Qingyu put them on, and said to him in a light tone while putting them on, "Just now the maid brought the banquet clothes for entering the palace tomorrow night. .”

"Oh? That dress..." Shi Qingyu thought about it for a while, and she understood, but she turned her head and smiled as if thinking of something, "Did you send that one?"

Qin Zhao bowed his head and tied the belt for him and said softly, "Here we come."

Shi Qingyu looked at him with a smile, "Qin Ming, do you like it?"

"..." Qin Zhao paused, and replied calmly, "I like it."

Shi Qingyu looked at him, and couldn't help but shook his head in his heart, why has this person remained like this for so many years?

"Push me over there to have a look." Shi Qingyu tugged at Qin Zhao's clothes.

Qin Zhao glanced at the corner of his clothes from the corner of his eye, nodded, carried Shi Qingyu onto the wheelchair, and pushed him out of the screen.When Shi Qingyu came to the table, he ignored his own clothes and picked up Qin Zhao's suit.He carefully touched the material of the clothes and some hook lines, and seemed to be quite satisfied.

Shi Qingyu smiled and said, "Qin Ming, do you want to try it? Why don't you wear this suit and enter the palace with me tomorrow?"

Qin Zhao looked at him, and finally swallowed his rejection.After taking the clothes handed over by Shi Qingyu, Qin Zhao didn't think too much, and took off the outer robe in front of him.Shi Qingyu looked at him without blinking. It wasn't once or twice that Qin Zhao was stared at getting dressed, so he naturally put on the clothes Shi Qingyu had someone make.

Qin Zhao himself has a calm personality, a strong physique, and broad shoulders.Putting on such a tight-fitting outfit immediately raised his whole temperament to a higher level.If there is any regret, it is probably that the mask Qin Zhao posted was too ordinary.

If you only look at the back, Qin Zhao can really attract the attention of many people, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, tall and straight.But as soon as he turned around and saw his face, probably those who were attracted would have a feeling of being cheated and lost.In fact, Qin Zhao's face was so ordinary that he had no distinctive features.

Shi Qingyu looked at Qin Zhao's facial features, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

Qin Zhao noticed his gaze and touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Shi Qingyu shook his head, jokingly said, "I just feel that your face and figure are...a bit asymmetrical."

"Really?" Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes and passed vaguely.

Shi Qingyu propped his chin up and watched Qin Zhao take off the clothes he had put on and fold them neatly together, and couldn't help laughing.

The snow stopped in the afternoon, and the servants in the mansion hurriedly took off the old lanterns in the corridor and the gate and replaced them with new ones. Housekeeper Hou also went out to give some of the missing New Year's goods to the house. ready.

In the evening, Shi Qingyu called Qin Zhao, and sat in the room with him to taste wine.The snowstorm in the morning seems to have finished the afternoon and evening. Tonight, there is only a gust of cool wind blowing from time to time. The dim light in the room hits the surrounding walls, pulling out two long shadows .

Although he was drinking with Shi Qingyu, most of the time it was Shi Qingyu who was drinking and Qin Zhao was watching. After all, Qin Zhao's identity was still Shi Qingyu's guard, how could a guard be in trouble because of being drunk.

Shi Qingyu didn't force him either, and she poured her own drink quite elegantly, and would whisper a line or two of poetry when she was very excited.Qin Zhao listened to the poems he had read, his eyes were a little deep and unclear, and he looked at Shi Qingyu for a long time with scrutinizing eyes where Shi Qingyu didn't pay attention.

The next day, the maid brought Qin Zhao and Shi Qingyu a bowl of sweet porridge. Qin Zhao was not very interested in sweet things, but he ate a bowl with Shi Qingyu beside him.

After they finished eating, Housekeeper Hou came over, "My lord, it's time to exchange peach charms."

Peach charms, the peach wood boards with "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" written on them, will be hung on the door and wait for the next year to be taken off and replaced with new ones.

Because Shi Qingyu had a leg problem, it was said that Shi Qingyu was asked to change it. In fact, most of the young men climbed up to the door to pick off the old peach charms, and then took the new peach charms that Shi Qingyu had handled and hung them up.

There is more Qin Zhao this year, and this task naturally falls on him.Qin Zhao really didn't pay attention to the exchange of peach charms in Baixue Villa. At most, he saw the window grilles pasted by the servants in the villa while walking.

When he came to the door, Qin Zhao didn't use the escalator, just jumped, and picked off the peach charm that Shi Qingyu said was covered in dust and had turned dark in color.Shi Qingyu handed over the peach talisman in his hand, Qin Zhao stretched out his hand halfway, then suddenly withdrew his hand and asked Shi Qingyu, "My lord, do you want to try?"

Shi Qingyu didn't expect him to say this, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Qin Zhao put the old peach talisman in the hand of Butler Hou who was also stunned, pointed to the door and said, "I can carry you up."

"This, this is too dangerous." Hou Butler reacted and immediately objected.

However, Shi Qingyu seemed to be interested in Qin Zhao's words, and Qin Zhao could tell from his appearance that he acquiesced.He immediately grabbed Shi Qingyu and brought him into his arms.

"My lord, don't worry, nothing will happen." Qin Zhao said lightly.

Shi Qingyu smiled, only to feel that the arms around her waist were strong and warm.

Because of the need to tie peach charms, Qin Zhao carried Shi Qingyu up the escalator for safety reasons.Hou Butler watched in horror, and circled around the escalator, making the guards standing next to him sweating, fearing that something might happen.

Shi Qingyu, the client, was calmer than them. After hanging up the Taofu, Qin Zhao flew to the ground with Shi Qingyu.

Shi Qingyu didn't need to handle the couplets. When they finished hanging the peach charms and returned to the mansion, red window grilles had already been pasted on some places. Shi Qingyu still joked with Qin Zhao, "Looking at it this way, it's really It's like someone in the mansion is doing a wedding."

Qin Zhao: "..." The two of them were walking on the road, with red lanterns fluttering in the wind on both sides. If we really wanted to talk about a marriage, wouldn't they be more like the protagonists in the marriage?

When Qin Zhao thought of the two men getting married, he didn't feel disgusted.Thinking of this, Qin Zhao frowned slightly, and put all these thoughts to the back of his mind. He was just doing a task, and once the task was over, he and the sixth prince Shi Qingyu would have no more fruit.

The lunch kitchen is very rich, with fish and meat, and the table is full.

Qin Zhao handed Shi Qingyu a bowl of soup, Shi Qingyu took a sip and said with a smile, "You should eat more too, the palace banquet at night probably won't have a chance to fill your stomach."

Qin Zhao nodded, but he still gave Shi Qingyu a piece of food with chopsticks and only took a bite, so it took turns.Shi Qingyu drank the hot soup and felt his stomach was warm.

At dusk in the afternoon, Emperor Zhu Song sent someone to pick up Shi Qingyu.After Shi Hongxiao's assassination and disappearance, Emperor Zhu Song had ordered people to strictly investigate and defend the capital, and now even the prince had ordered people to come over when he entered the palace. It seems that Shi Hongxiao's incident hit him quite hard.

Qin Zhao carried Shi Qingyu into the carriage, and the carriage quickly left the sixth prince's mansion and headed towards the palace.

There will be sacrificial activities on the street tonight, but the vendors on both sides of the road have already set up their stalls early to sell. The sacrifice has not yet started, but the street is already a bit lively.

It was the first time for Qin Zhao to stay in the capital for the New Year. He raised the curtain of the car and looked at the shouting vendors and found it quite interesting.Seeing his appearance, Shi Qingyu smiled and said, "If we leave the palace early tonight, we can go shopping in the street."

"No need." Qin Zhao shook his head. At that time, the streets were full of people, and it was not suitable for Shi Qingyu to appear in front of people. If someone wanted to kill him, it would be difficult for even Qin Zhao to protect a person in a crowded environment. people.

Shi Qingyu didn't force him either. As for what will happen tonight, it's too early to tell.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace gate, and a young eunuch opened the door, raised the bead curtain and waited for Shi Qingyu to get out of the carriage.Besides their carriage, there were many other carriages and sedan chairs parked here at the palace gate.The people in the carriages and sedan chairs got down to the ground one after another, and if they met acquaintances, they chatted directly at the palace gate.

As soon as Shi Qingyu appeared, the gazes of these people came to him, some were subtle, some were bold, and some even showed admiration.Qin Zhao turned his body slightly to block Shi Qingyu's sight.Shi Qingyu noticed Qin Zhao's movements, and just lowered his head and chuckled.

"My lord, this way please, the palace banquet is about to begin." The little eunuch who was waiting at the side reminded him.

Shi Qingyu nodded, motioning for him to lead the way.

Qin Zhao pushed Shi Qingyu into the palace gate and walked all the way to the dinner party.A lot of people have already gathered in the lobby, pushing glasses and exchanging cups, it's very lively.A young man saw Shi Qingyu appearing, so he walked over holding a glass of wine, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Shi Qingyu dealt with it for a while with a faint smile, and then made Qin Zhao push himself into the position with other reasons.

Shi Dezheng also arrived, and as soon as he arrived, he ran to Shi Qingyu's side. As for whether it was suitable for her to sit here, Shi Dezheng really didn't care. Anyway, her reputation was spread inside and outside the capital, so she almost missed it. Outrageous labels.

Shi Dezheng poured several cups of tea rudely, before he exhaled, "The content of the conversations of those ladies from all over the world really made me feel the same as me, what kind of calligraphy, painting, reciting poems are right, I thought I participated in the poems. meeting."

Shi Qingyu smiled, "Then why did you suffer in the past?"

Now Shi Dezheng stopped talking. Although she didn't care much about what others thought, she still wanted to work hard sometimes, maybe she could change it herself?But now it seems that she is really against reciting poems, and female red painting is not good at painting.

Shi Qingyu shook his head, thinking it was because of the little county king again.

But about feelings, Shi Qingyu couldn't say anything, after all, his own feelings hadn't been handled properly, so he had no right to talk about others.

As soon as he thought of Xiaojun Wang, Xiaojun Wang Xie Rong and the third prince arrived.The third prince saw Shi Qingyu in a blink of an eye, stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Sixth brother, are you safe today?"

Shi Qingyu smiled and said, "Didn't the third brother say that he would come to the mansion for tea? Why haven't you come here?"

"There are too many complicated things recently, and I can't leave even one step." The third prince waved his hand.

"Oh? I wonder what third brother is busy with?"

The third prince said, "Father entrusted me with the matter of the disappearance of the seventh brother. I am not worrying about the safety of the seventh brother. I am restless day and night. I always want to search for more clues so that I can find the seventh brother as soon as possible, hey."

Shi Qingyu raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect this to be the case, and the seventh brother will trouble you, the third brother. If there is any news, please let someone pass it to the minister's mansion, so that the minister can feel at ease."

"Third brother knows that sixth brother and seventh brother are like brothers. If there is any progress in this matter, third brother will definitely bring you news."

The third prince and Shi Qingyu were doing Tai Chi back and forth like this, Shi Dezheng looked at the third prince and sneered, his hands peeling the fruit rattled.Xiaojun Wang Xie Rong stood behind the third prince and looked at them with a faint smile, inserting a sentence or two from time to time.Qin Zhao never left Shi Qingyu's side, but stayed behind him. He never let go of his vigilance towards the third prince and Xie Rong.

The third prince chatted with Shi Qingyu for a while, and when the dinner was about to start, he brought Xie Rong back to his place.After they left, Shi Dezheng spat out the melon seeds in his mouth, "I still don't like third brother, why is he so hypocritical, and I don't know what the father thinks, he even put seventh brother's The matter was entrusted to him. So is that Xie Rong, why does he love to hang out with the third brother..."

Hearing Shi Dezheng's muttering voice, Shi Qingyu raised her hand and patted her forehead, "This is not your yard, don't say these words anymore."

Shi Dezheng glanced at his mouth, "What's the matter, I didn't say anything, I have always expressed that I don't like him, and it's not like he doesn't know."

Shi Qingyu shook his head, "Sometimes a single word may cause death."

"I don't understand." Shi waited angrily to pick up a piece of fruit and took a bite, "It's so tiring to live like this, I have to think about everything before I say it, and besides, I'm a princess, so what about those who listen? If you don’t become a royal father, you’re still willing to pull me to have my head beheaded?”

Seeing her so upright and confident, Shi Qingyu was really laughed at.

At this time, Emperor Zhu Song and the Queen came out from the inside, Shi Dezheng stopped talking abruptly, put down the things in his hands and stood up with the crowd, Qin Zhao also stepped forward and pointed the direction of Shi Qingyu's wheelchair to the head seat.

Everyone bowed to Emperor Zhu Song, and Emperor Zhu Song said a few words, then waved everyone to sit down.There are dancers dancing in the center of the lobby, and people around are talking and drinking while enjoying the show.Shi Dezheng was not interested in these things, but just sat quietly and peeled her fruits.

The maid next to her wanted to help Shi Dezheng, but she refused.The person sitting opposite Shi Dezheng saw Shi Dezheng's hands full of juice, shook his head, smiled and said to the people around him, "This eighth younger sister has been made into a boy like a living person. Yes, but her behavior is so vulgar, if I didn't know her identity, I would have thought she grew up among the people, which is too inappropriate."

"Sister Rong, you are just demanding. Isn't Dezheng like this since she was a child? She can't change it. She just licks her face and follows Brother Liu and Seven every day. She doesn't look like a daughter. , Father doesn’t he sigh a lot too?”

"The eighth younger sister is still too young, and I don't know when she will grow up."

"Sister Rong, you are just too kind. I advise you to leave her affairs alone. She is usually unscrupulous in the palace. Isn't she relying on the support of the sixth and seventh brothers? Think about what I liked before." She saw the snuff bottle, and snatched it without even asking, and the emperor finally suppressed this matter for Brother Seven's sake."

"Sister Fei'er, please forgive Eighth Sister, I don't think she did it on purpose. Speaking of Seventh Brother, I don't know how he is now..." Shi Xuanrong sighed faintly.

"That's right." Shi Yaofei replied indifferently, but her eyes fell on Shi Dezheng's side. Seventh brother disappeared now. It seems that disaster is greater than blessing. She will see who else can protect him in the future. Can live with her.

In the middle of the dinner, Emperor Zhu Song left the banquet venue without drinking.As soon as Emperor Zhu Song left, the people present immediately let go, and the voice of speaking and the movement of drinking became much louder.

Shi Qingyu asked someone to send Shi Dezheng back, and beckoned to Qin Zhao, "Let's go back too."

Qin Zhao responded, pushed Shi Qingyu and quietly left the banquet.Through the long corridors, the lights flickered faintly in the cold night.The groom outside the palace gate was still guarding, and when he saw Qin Zhao and the others coming, he drove over quickly.

When the carriage drove into the bustling street, Shi Qingyu stopped the carriage.Qin Zhao looked back at him, Shi Qingyu smiled and said, "It's still early, it seems quite lively outside, why don't we go shopping?"

Qin Zhao was a little stunned. He didn't expect Shi Qingyu to remember what he said when he first left the mansion.At this time, there was a gentle breeze blowing, and a corner of the car curtain was lifted. Seeing the scene of crowds rushing outside, Qin Zhao still lowered his head and said, "My lord, there are too many people, let's go shopping another day."

"Qin Ming, don't worry, I won't die that easily for now." Shi Qingyu said suddenly.

Qin Zhao frowned, not liking what Shi Qingyu said.

In the end, Qin Zhao still couldn't hold back Shi Qingyu, and got out of the car with Shi Qingyu in his arms, then put his cloak on him, and pulled up his wide hat to cover most of Shi Qingyu's face.Shi Qingyu is really good-looking, and he is sitting in a wheelchair. If he goes out like this, he will be surrounded by people.

Shi Qingyu is not the only one in the capital who can sit in a wheelchair, so the people on the road are only surprised when they see Shi Qingyu wearing a cloak, they look curiously for a few seconds and then turn their eyes away, talking with the people around him Talking and laughing to continue playing.

Shi Qingyu said, "I remember there was a show about making a wish with lanterns."

Seeing that Shi Qingyu seemed quite interested, Qin Zhao pushed him carefully through the crowd and walked towards the river where the lanterns were lit.If they saw something interesting on the way, they would stop to take a look. They also participated in a lantern riddle guessing activity. In the end, Qin Zhao won back a small tiger lantern for Shi Qingyu.

Shi Qingyu seemed to like this tiger lantern very much, and would touch it with a smile while bowing his head from time to time while holding it in his arms.

In addition to guessing lantern riddles, Qin Zhao also bought some candied fruits for Shi Qingyu to hug and eat. Shi Qingyu chatted with Qin Zhao while eating.Most of the time, Shi Qingyu was talking and Qin Zhao was listening, and Qin Zhao would only respond with a few words from time to time.But Shi Qingyu was not annoyed, but very happy, as if there was always a steady stream of topics to come up with.

Soon they came to the bank of the river.There are already chic lotus lanterns floating under the river. The lotus lanterns exude warm light. Looking along the river, it seems that the whole river is emitting colorful lights, which is very beautiful.

Qin Zhao looked around and finally found a place to buy lotus lanterns.

"One of us."

Seeing that Qin Zhao seemed to only want to buy one, Shi Qingyu suddenly made a noise and asked the vendor to add another one.After receiving the two lotus lanterns handed over by the vendor, Shi Qingyu put one of them in Qin Zhao's hands, and said with a smile, "I heard that praying to the lotus lanterns can come true, Qin Ming might as well try it?"

Qin Zhao felt that these rumors were deceptive, but looking at the smiling Shi Qingyu, he did not pour cold water on him.

Holding the lotus lantern, Shi Qingyu closed her eyes and didn't know what wish she had made. Then she opened her eyes, and under Qin Zhao's protection, she bent down and put the lotus lantern and Qin Zhao's into the water, and kept staring at them. After traveling far away, he retracted his gaze.
