Qing Wu Red House

The deck under the morning light looked unusually warm, Zijuan and Shen Ao stood side by side, both staring at the rolling river.Although Shen Ao couldn't help but smile wryly at Zijuan's actions, he still asked with concern: "Do you still feel unwell today? Is the poison of the snake definitely cured?"

Zijuan nodded: "Mr. Dai said that there is no serious problem, just rest for a while." Shen Ao was relieved a little bit, and said: "Pay attention to the wound on the leg, try not to touch the water .”

When Zijuan heard her talking about the wound on her leg, her face couldn't help feeling hot again, but she quickly adjusted: "I haven't thanked you for saving my life. Mr. Dai said that thanks to your timely treatment, the toxin was not let out. Spread, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get Zhan Duo to find an antidote."

Shen Ao shook his head faintly: "You don't have to be so polite, we used to train in the mountains before, of course we know how to deal with these poisons, and we have already dealt with them with ease." Zijuan tilted his head and looked at Shen Ao: "No matter what, I will thank you all."

Shen Ao also looked at Zijuan, wanting to say something, but just smiled.Zijuan looked at Shen Ao's obviously tired expression, and asked a little strangely: "Did you not rest well? You look very tired."

Shen Ao was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "I was watching the night yesterday, so I didn't sleep." Zijuan immediately said: "Then what are you still doing here? Go to sleep!" Shen Ao shook his head: "Where can I sleep in broad daylight?" Now, why not go to the deck to get some air. I just met you, seeing that you are fine, and I too..." Shen Ao suddenly paused at this point and continued: "Prince Princess and your little ones The sisters should also rest assured, they are very nervous about you."

Zijuan smiled deeply: "Yes, we have been together these years, and we have long been in love with sisters. When I am hurt like this, they are naturally nervous." Shen Ao smiled: "Yes, I took you back yesterday. When they arrived on the boat, Xueyan cried anxiously. The whole room was just about her running around." Zijuan smiled: "Yes, she has always been a very good child. But fortunately, Qingwen That girl is married, otherwise what you saw would not be Xue Yan running up and down, but Qing Wen clamoring to find someone to settle accounts with."

Shen Ao chuckled: "Qingwen? The one who opened the embroidery building?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "Yes, she is the most blessed girl among us. Although she was a homeless girl when she was young, she has lived a more comfortable life since she was favored by her ancestors. She is a hot girl again. She has a good temper, and everything is not a disadvantage. At that time, the ancestors sent her to Baoyu's house, and everyone knew like a mirror that she was going to be Baoyu's aunt. She was so proud of her that she didn't take it seriously at all. .”

Shen Ao listened quietly, and asked softly: "Do you like her very much?" Zijuan shook her head: "At first, I didn't like her very much. After getting along a lot, I realized that she is really good. At least, She has the courage that none of us girls have, and has long declared that she will never be a concubine. Even at that time, Baoyu was missed by most of the girls in the Rongguo Mansion."

Shen Ao suddenly asked: "What about you?"

Zicuckoo was taken aback, and looked at Shen Ao.She smiled and said, "What about me? I've already decided that I won't marry in this life. I'll find a nanny to comb my hair and stay with the princess."

Shen Ao clenched his fists violently, looked at Zijuan in surprise, and blurted out: "Why?"

Zijuan didn't look at Shen Ao anymore.Instead, he looked at the long river again, and sighed: "Where are there so many reasons...it's just my wish." Zijuan's smile was far away, as if thinking about something bad.

Shen Ao stared blankly at Zijuan.Suddenly there was a strong urge to bring this girl happiness.Zijuan seemed to wake up suddenly, and said with a smile: "It's so strange, why should I tell you this?"

"Why is it so strange? We've known each other for a long time!" Shen Ao let go of his clenched fist.It seems that something has been decided.

Zijuan smiled and said: "Yes, we have known each other for a long time. No. [-]. Compared with Shen Ao's name, I still think No. [-] is more amiable." Some runaway looks.

Standing at the exit of the cabin, Jin Xue looked at Shen Ao and Zijuan talking and laughing, and suddenly laughed coldly: "This world is really unfair..." No one knew what Jin Xue meant by unfairness. What, no one saw the hatred on Jin Xue's face.

Also looking at Zijuan and Shen Ao were Daiyu and Tianyou on the small deck upstairs.Daiyu looked at Tianyou confusedly: "Have they known each other?" Tianyou laughed and said, "Your own girl, why did you ask me instead?"

"Isn't this person Brother Tianyou's secret guard? Zijuan must have allowed him to know him, otherwise how could he, a secret guard, reveal his identity to Zijuan at will." Daiyu looked at Tianyou calmly, Vice firmly believed that it was Tianyou who played tricks on it.

Tianyou tapped the tip of Daiyu's nose, and said with a smile: "When did my Yu'er see things so sharply?" Daiyu pouted slightly, and retorted: "I have always been like this, brother Tianyou Know me once?"

Tianyou smiled and sighed: "Yeah, my Yu'er has always seen things sharply, but she is not good at protecting herself. She is unwilling to fight or grab anything. She is resigned to fate all day long. "

"How can I resign myself to fate, Brother Tianyou, don't scare me, okay?" Daiyu muttered dissatisfied.Tianyou gently held Daiyu's hand, and reminded softly: "Yu'er, you are now my wife, the second most noble woman in the Great Qi Kingdom, and there are many things that you can hide from if you want to." Hidden away. Even if you don’t want to pursue it, they will continue to force you to pursue it. Because the palace is a place where if you don’t advance, you will retreat, and if you don’t fight, you will die.”

Daiyu's expression was a little dark, and she murmured: "I don't like to be angry with them, and I don't want to be angry with them." Tianyou smiled warmly, and gently embraced Daiyu, his little girl always like this She is pure and never plans anything for herself.All she wanted was freedom and peace.

"Silly girl, I didn't ask you to get angry with them!" Tianyou rested his head on Daiyu's shoulder and said softly, "You just have to show no mercy to them when they persecute you. Let them have nowhere to go It’s better to retreat than to have no way out.”

Daiyu tilted her head, thought quietly for a while, and then asked softly: "Then... is the empress fighting?"

Tianyou smiled and said: "My mother's empress is naturally fighting. I have been arguing all my life. Fighting for my father's heart, my father's pity, and my father's love. Otherwise, why do you think my mother can enter the palace as a queen? Even if the harem is now assisted by the virtuous concubine, who would dare to underestimate my mother and concubines in the harem? Those poisoning and assassination activities have never dared to appear in the Changning Palace .”

Daiyu seemed to understand something: "Is it because I'm not strong that Zijuan has suffered this time?" Tianyou put a little force on Daiyu's hand, but didn't answer the question.And Daiyu, who was immersed in her own world, had long forgotten to ask how Tianyou Zijuan and this hidden guard named Shen Ao met.

After Zijuan had been recuperating for two days, Daiyu really asked about being bitten by a snake that day.Although in the end there was no result.But Daiyu already instinctively thought that the people around her were causing trouble.

On this day, the ship has entered Gaoyou, and Yangzhou is about to arrive.Ruyin suddenly approached Daiyu mysteriously.Said to report some situation to Daiyu.Zijuan and Xueyan were both in the room at that time, and they couldn't help casting curious glances like Ruyin.

Daiyu put down the book in her hand: "Oh? What is so mysterious. There is no outsider in this room, so you can tell me!" Ruyin glanced at Zijuan and Xueyan, and then said softly: "Prince Did the concubine ever know? Something happened to your grandmother's house?"

Daiyu's originally smiling face suddenly sank when she heard these words.Ruyin sees it in her eyes.Joyful in my heart, I added fuel and jealousy and said: "When the servant girl was serving tea to the prince today, he heard a guard came to report something about the second master Lian. The servant girl knew that the imperial concubine's maternal ancestral home was the Rongguo Mansion. Listen carefully. Who knows that it doesn't matter, only to know that Jia's house has already been ransacked!"

Daiyu looked at Ruyin coldly.His face was cloudy and uncertain.Zijuan walked over and comforted softly: "Prince Princess, don't worry, maybe sister Ruyin didn't hear clearly." Ruyin hurriedly said: "Report to Crown Princess, this servant can hear you clearly. The guard said that the judgment will be made in the next few days. It’s about to come down. Presumably something happened already, His Royal Highness was afraid that you might be in a hurry, so he didn’t tell you.”

Xueyan frowned and looked at Ruyin, and said bluntly: "Sister Ruyin, don't talk nonsense, the Rongguo Mansion is the founding hero. How can you just copy it." Ruyin said sadly: "I also hope it is I heard it wrong, but things backfired. If the Crown Princess doesn’t believe it, just find a guard to ask. If the servants lie to the Crown Princess, they are willing to suffer any punishment.”

Only then did Daiyu come back to her senses, and said to Ruyin: "Get up first, I'll ask you, why did you tell me this matter. When you know that the crown prince doesn't want me to know." Ruyin seemed She had expected Daiyu's question a long time ago, instead of standing up, she kowtowed heavily: "Back to the Crown Princess, I am honored to let the Crown Princess guide me in composing poems, and I have already recognized the Crown Princess as the closest person in my heart." Now, after hearing about the situation in Jia's house, I only think about worrying about the Crown Princess. The servants did not consider the Prince's mood."

Daiyu nodded, and said: "Your kindness is rare. Get up, no matter whether the matter is true or not, I will remember your kindness." After speaking, she looked at Zijuan again: "You Don't you know that Shen Ao? Go and ask for me, what happened to Rongguo Mansion?"

Zijuan looked at Daiyu with some hesitation: "Crown princess, where is the prince..."

"Go and ask, don't let the prince know about this!" Daiyu ordered again, and then picked up the book again, but she didn't turn a page for a long time.Ruyin watched from the side, and couldn't help but secretly smiled.

Zijuan went downstairs quickly and broke into Shen Ao's room.Shen Ao was looking at something, and was taken aback by Zijuan who rushed in suddenly: "What are you doing? You are in such a panic." Zijuan walked to the table quickly, and asked quickly: "I asked You, Rongguo Mansion has been copied?"

Shen Ao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression became serious: "Where did you know the news?" Zijuan was taken aback, and murmured: "Could it really be copied? Didn't Ruyin speak freely?" Shen Ao frowned. Wrinkled even tighter, he pulled Zijuan to sit down, and poured her a glass of water: "Don't worry, tell me slowly, who told you this news?"

Zijuan's hands trembled slightly, and she looked at Shen Ao in disbelief: "Is the Rongguo Mansion really stolen?"

Shen Ao sighed, and then said: "Yes." Zijuan asked nervously: "When?" Shen Ao replied again: "After we left Shangjing, Shuntian Fu Yin took people to copy it, and found a lot of contraband. Copied out the finances that the Zhen family hid in the Jia family."

"The Zhen family?" Zicuckoo was a little confused.

Shen Ao patiently explained: "It's the Zhen family whose home was confiscated for treason a while ago." Looking at Zijuan's expression, Shen Ao asked worriedly: "What? Do you have any relatives in Jia's mansion?"

Zicuckoo shook her head in confusion: "That's not important, the important thing is, can you tell the Crown Princess that Jia's mansion has not been copied, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand this blow!" Shen Ao's expression moved slightly: "Prince Did the imperial concubine know? How did she know?" Shen Ao knew that this news had been kept under wraps, for fear that the crown prince would know.

Zijuan shook her head: "Those are not important anymore. The important thing is that you must not tell the truth to the princess for a while." But Shen Ao shook his head: "Since we already know, this matter must not be kept secret. I said It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth, you should tell His Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, I think His Highness the Crown Prince knows how to appease the Crown Princess."

"No, our Crown Princess has spoken, we must not let the Crown Prince know!" Zijuan stared blankly at the tea bowl in front of her, and a line of tears fell down like this.Shen Ao stared blankly at the tear, unable to react.

"Why are you crying?" Shen Ao looked at Zijuan's tears and asked with some emotion.

Zijuan seemed to be recovering, and said stubbornly: "Where did I cry, I didn't cry at all. Come with me quickly, the princess wants to see you!" Shen Ao quickly reached out and touched it. Zijuan's face showed Zijuan the teardrops on her fingers: "You still say you didn't cry?"

Zijuan was startled by Shen Ao, stared blankly at the tears, and murmured: "I just didn't cry, I will never cry for them again, I swore a long time ago. I absolutely I won't cry for them!"

Shen Ao asked softly: "Are you talking about your father and those children?" Zi Juan looked at Shen Ao in shock, but Shen Ao smiled a little relaxedly: "Don't worry, your father's family has been bought Now, I'm probably living a stable life now."

Zijuan stared at Shen Ao with wide eyes, but Shen Ao just smiled and refused to say any more.
